Q: We seek the intervention of the gods and goddesses to alleviate our sufferings or to seek boons. Isn’t this in violation of the law of karma?
No. Seeking the intervention of the gods and goddesses to alleviate our sufferings or to seek boons is a legitimate application of the law of karma.
All actions are karma and have results. Praying, worshipping and making offerings to God, gods, goddesses and holy people are holy actions that create merit (punya–positive karma) which can invoke blessings in the form of various beneficial responses.
