Hello Readers,

Welcome to my Blog,

KARMA is this, KARMA is that...

But What karma actually is?

If you are wandering around the same question then you are at the right destination.

According to chapter 5 of the Bhagavad Gita, both sannyasa (renunciation, monastic life) and karma yoga are means to liberation. Between the two, it recommends karma yoga, stating that anyone who is a dedicated karma yogi neither hates nor desires, and therefore such as a person is the "eternal renouncer".

KARMA is Derived from the Sanskrit word Karman, meaning “act,” the term karma carried no ethical significance in its earliest specialized usage. In ancient texts (1000–700 BCE) of the Vedic religion, karma referred simply to ritual and sacrificial action and is pronounced as "KARM" in Hindi as Hindi originates from SANSKRIT (The God's Language).

Karma roughly translates to "action," is a core concept in some Eastern religions, including Hinduism and Buddhism. Importantly, karma is wrapped up with the concept of reincarnation or rebirth, in which a person is born in a new human (or nonhuman) body after death.

In simple words, These are just the work done by you in your life and are being considered as a report of yours which is seen by God when you will die and be sent to heaven or hell according to your report (Karma). It shows everything about what you did in your life including your sins and charity. Good work will let you to heaven and bad works drop you down to hell where you will be given such a punishment that you have never think of. According to the Geeta, you will be subjected to a hell master who after seeing your report deciding your punishment which includes bathing in the hot oil. Given a new life as ANT and many more. All this is according to the HINDU MYTHOLOGY.

There are two different types of karma (origin): prarabdha karma which is experienced through the present body and is only a part of sanchita karma which is the sum of one's past karmas, and agami karma which is the result of current decision and action.

Also two types of karma (Outcome). The first type of karma is that which gives results immediately. while other is that which is seen by the God of Death- "YAMA". The Vedas describe him as the first man who died, blazing the path of mortality down which all humans have since followed. He is the guardian of the south (the region of death) and presides over the resting place of the dead, which is located under the earth.

• This word was first attested in English in Douglas Harper's Etymology Dictionary, 1827.
