Karuna is a universal virtue that transcends cultural and religious boundaries and emphasizes the importance of empathy, kindness, and altruism in building a more compassionate and harmonious world, where individuals support and care for one another in times of need. Yoga teaches that a compassionate heart, coupled with wisdom, is essential for the liberation of oneself and others from suffering.
