Adrsta

Adrsta

Adrsta ( _sa. अदृष्ट, Pronounced: adRSTa) is a concept in Indian philosophy often confused with Karma. Whereas karma can be seen as a direct result of one's own actions, Adrsta is more akin to the notion of fate or destiny. It implies an unknown and invisible mystical force at work behind the universe.
