Tara Prakashana, an NGO focused on the preservation and dissemination of Indic wisdom, launched a new book by Prof. P.R. Mukund. The book is titled Karma & Intent, the hidden connection. The launch event at the Indian Institute of World Culture hosted Shri A.S. Kiran Kumar, former Chairman of ISRO as the chief guest. Dr. Pratosh of Indian Institute of Science was guest of honour.

For any action to have the desired results, the intent of the action is the driving force that determines the direction of the resultant action, he said.
