Karma in Hinduism
Karma is a concept which describes a system in which advantageous 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.
The causality is said to apply not only to the material world but also to our thoughts, words, actions, and actions that others
do under our instructions.
According to Vedanta thought, the most influential school of Hindu theology, the effects of karma are controlled by God (Isvara).
There are four different types of karma: prarabdha, sanchita, and kriyamana and 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 karma's,
Kriyamana karma is the karma that is being performed in the present whereas
Agami karma is the result of current decisions and actions.
