      How can i stop my karma?
      To make it clear. In the real sense of the word it’s not you who suffer from karma now, but your friends you cheated. According to the law of karma we receive what we give. Our deeds go on vibrating and we maybe suffer for what we did either in this life or in the subsequent ones. But in fact karma is not good or bad. It is the underlying law of existence.

      Archive records of water turbines manufactured by Oy Tampella Ab.?

Tampella's archives are very large (about 700 metres of material) and it might be very hard to find the specific information.

      What is the name of this song by Sakke Aalto? (Question from Canada!)
      I am sorry to tell you that we couldn't identify the song. Sakke Aalto has a very large discography of productions to different artists. It is possible that he has also composed jingles and incidental music: http://fi.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sakke_Aalto Maybe somebody who sees the question will identify the song? If you do, you can write the name of the song below the answer (after registering to Kysy.fi -service). 2.1.2014 12:09Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto

      We couldn't find any information about the matches you mentioned. The annual Finnish ice hockey book called "Jääkiekkokirja 1991-92" lists all the important events and league tables from Finland and around the world. The book doesn't have any information about the games between Italy and USSR.

      Is Veen emonen a description of Luonnotar, but also a different entity, spirit =one associated with
      She must be Vellamo, the queen of the sea and the wife of Ahti, the king of the sea. They were gods, subordinated to Ukko, the main god of the ancient finns.  They were spiritual entities, but they also could have earthy power. Ved-Ava may be a figure in the mythology of India? The ancient finns, however, did not have any connection there. Different cultures have different gods for e. g. the sea, the forests, the hunting, the agriculture a.s.o. 3.6.2013 19:16Helsingin kaupunginkirjasto
