The Gunjan Model of Karma and Destiny: A Conceptual Framework for Understanding Human Action and Life Outcomes

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) March 15, 2026 Prashant Gunjan

Destiny arises from the interplay of past karma, present conscious actions, and external circumstances rather than being entirely predetermined. Drawing on narratives from Vishnu, Rama, and Krishna, the Gunjan Model interprets these stories psychologically to show how decisions and commitments shape life trajectories. Past Life Regression is examined as a psychological phenomenon, with references to Brian L. Weiss and Ian Stevenson; such experiences may be symbolic or subconscious reconstructions. The model emphasizes personal responsibility, moral awareness, and conscious decision-making, integrating philosophical insights with modern psychology to offer a theoretical perspective on karmic causality and behavioral patterns.

Ego Dissolution, Death Anxiety, and Impulse Regulation: A Conceptual Psychological Model of Contemplative Transformation

Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research) March 13, 2026 Prashant Gunjan

Contemplative practices like mindfulness and meditation can reduce egoic boundaries, which in turn diminishes existential fears and improves impulse regulation. This conceptual model proposes that enhanced self-control and lower death anxiety are key mechanisms through which these practices foster emotional stability, resilience, and adaptive behavior. The framework integrates contemporary psychological theory with contemplative insights to explain personal growth and spiritual development, offering a basis for future empirical testing and applications in therapy and organizations.
