A Vedantist Views the Coronavirus
The Vedanta Kesari
|May 2020
Does Vedanta have an explanation for the coronavirus pandemic which is currently engulfing the world?

Yes, it does. The explanation lies in the theory of karma. As we have sown, so we are now reaping. The human species is getting exactly what it deserves.
Readers may wonder what we ever did to deserve this.
First, we have over-reproduced. There are too many of us. Too many humans means not enough space and resources for other species.
In the Hebrew creation myth, after creating the world, God created man, and “put him in the garden of Eden to till it and keep it.” (Genesis 2:15.) This implies that God made us the custodians of the whole planet. What sort of job have we done?
