Detailed explanation-1: -Karma is a concept of Hinduism which describes a system in which beneficial effects are derived from past beneficial actions and harmful effects from past harmful actions, creating a system of actions and reactions throughout a soul’s (jivatman’s) reincarnated lives, forming a cycle of rebirth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Karma is attached to the idea of reincarnation. There is an ongoing cycle of birth and death, conditioned by karma, linking an individual to past and future existences (Kolenda 1964; Wadia 1965). In reincarnation, the spirit or soul survives death and is reborn into a new body, human or nonhuman.

Detailed explanation-3: -On a larger scale, karma determines where a person will be reborn and their status in their next life. Good karma can result in being born in one of the heavenly realms. Bad karma can cause rebirth as an animal, or torment in a hell realm. Buddhists try to cultivate good karma and avoid bad.

Detailed explanation-4: -Reincarnation is the religious or philosophical belief that the soul or spirit, after biological death, begins a new life in a new body that may be human, animal or spiritual depending on the moral quality of the previous life’s actions.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Purusharthas are the inherent values of the Universe: Artha (economic values), Kama (pleasure), Dharma (righteousness), and Moksha (liberation). The Purusharthas are the blueprint for human fulfillment.

Detailed explanation-6: -Religions that believe in reincarnation believe that all life goes through a cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth. This cycle is known as samsara in Hinduism.
