We know karma to be a chain of causes and necessary consequences in the world of human actions. Karma is the urge we have of doing something based on our previous actions or behavior. I believe the world has negative and positive energy. For example; an individual soul consists of negative and positive energy, which for a normal person, is balanced out. Therefore, what goes around comes around. In life we choose whether to listen and act upon certain urges or ignore it. I do not believe karma predetermine our future. Karma is the reason why things occur in our lives, based on the actions we have done. Karma is not built upon a distinct action but the accumulation of our conduct and actions.…
5. The Question of Destiny – In a Hindu Worldview one would believe that one’s karma determines how you will return in the next life.

Likewise, when something of such a nature was bestowed upon us, karma came rearing her head around the corner with coincidences that made up for the fact that he had done us wrong. Things like these have a suited name for them called synchronicity mean that one or more events happen that come together to create something of meaning but out of the blue. I call it Karma more that most of the time personally. To give you examples of synchronicity, I will explain occurrences that have happened in my life. One time missed my friend Jackson birthday parties and I had promised him I was going to be there, but at the last minute I got sick and could not attend plus I rarely ever see him because he lives so far away from me that being taken to his house is considered a hassle. After his party had passed and I had gotten better, I was on my way out of the country to go to Paris, France but what I did not know at the time was that Jackson too was going to Paris. I was walking around the Louvre in France when all of a sudden someone ran up to me and hugged me as tight as…
Hindus also uphold the ideas of karma, reincarnation, and nirvana. The laws of karma state that good begets good, and bad begets bad. Every action, thought, or decision one makes has consequences , either good or bad, that will return to each person in the present life, or in one yet to come. Reincarnation is known as the “transmigration of souls,” or “samsara.” This is a journey on the “circle of life,” where the spiritual self undergoes a series of…

The belief in reincarnation provided as a form of social control by forcing people to want to be reborn into a higher class, therefore keeping the people willing to obey. In the Hinduism culture, those who were higher in the caste system were supposedly able to be enlightened in their lifetime. People in lower parts of the caste system had to wait to be reborn into a higher caste. The way to be reborn into a higher caste is to have good karma. The actions in one's lifetime determine the type of karma is given to the soul;…
the fundamental Hindu principle that one’s moral actions have unavoidable and automatic effects on one’s fortunes in this life and condition of rebirth in the next. Karma Yoga originally focused on varnasrama-dharma which focus on the performance of actions in accordance with the duties associated with one’s caste and stage of life. By acting in accordance with the principles of varnasrama-dharma, one gradually worked through the four major stages of life who are the student, the householder, the forest-dweller and the renunciate towards ultimate release from the cycle of rebirth also known as moksha though the process might take many lifetimes to complete.…
