Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Lucky for us, this one is bit more familiar. In very simplified terms, karma is the Hindu belief that a person’s actions in life will determine their fate in the next life.

Detailed explanation-2: -Karma, which is a Sanskrit word, means action, work or deed and refers to the sum total of all deeds one has done or got done through his mind, speech or body; either in this life or in the previous lives.

Detailed explanation-3: -These karmas are always associated with the body. All embodied beings from Brahma onwards to the smallest ant are under the influence of karma. When the jiva undergoes pain, pleasure, old age disease and death, and whenever it gives vent to feelings of anger, hatred, etc, it is all owing to the karma effects.
