GENERAL KNOWLEDGE

Detailed explanation-1: -Hinduism identifies karma as the relationship between a person’s mental or physical action and the consequences following that action. It also signifies the consequences of all the actions of a person in their current and previous lives and the chain of cause and effect in morality.

Detailed explanation-2: -For example: As a man himself sows, so he himself reaps; no man inherits the good or evil act of another man. The fruit is of the same quality as the action.

Detailed explanation-3: -Karma is about action, non-action, responsibility, accountability and consequence. Karma literally means ‘action’. Karma Yoga is the yoga of action. What that means, in the context of the Yoga tradition, is lending ourselves to society and being of service to other human beings.

Detailed explanation-4: -There are three different types of karma: prarabdha, sanchita, and kriyamana or agami. Prarabdha karma is experienced through the present body and is only a part of sanchita karma which is the sum of one’s past karmas, whereas agami karma is the result of current decisions and actions.
