What are the reasons for reincarnation?
AnswerIt is a faith of Hindus which other major religions reject. They believe Karma is the reason for one's reincarnation.
What is hidu?
Hinduism is the predominant Religion of the Indian Subcontinent. Hinduism is often referred to as Santana Dharma, a Sanskrit phrase meaning "the eternal law", by its adherents. Hindu beliefs vary widely, with concepts of God and/or gods ranging from Pantheism, Monotheism, Polytheism, and Atheism with Vishnu and Shiva being the most popular deities. Other notable characteristics include a belief in reincarnation and karma, as well as personal duty, or dharma.
Brahman the caste system and the belief in reincarnation are all characteristic of which religion?
The name of Brahman is given to God in Sanatana Dharma (which is mistakenly called Hinduism), however the concept is present in many other faiths.Reincarnation too is present in Sanatana Dharma but is also central to other faiths.The caste system is not a part of Sanatana Dharma, it came about as a corruption of the older varna system.
What religion is Karma and Dharma based on?
The line of questioning is slightly wrong.Karmic law isn't based on any religion, faith, or tradition for it is a natural law which simply exists irrespectively!Karma is a universal principle which states 'All action and reaction must be opposite and equal' or 'For every cause, there must be an effect'.One might ask what science is gravity based on?!Gravity is simply a natural law like karma and existed before its discovery by Sir Issac Newton and will continue to exist long into the future.It would be correct to ask what religion has karma and dharma as its basis!!!This is a more correct question!The term 'Dharma' is of Sanskrit origin and is used in the Hindu tradition in reference to karma and reincarnation. Dharma also refers to the 'universal order of perfection throughout creation'. Dharma conveys a deep philosophical concept which includes Karma and is the basis of most Eastern philosophy, Religion and mystic practice.DHARMA AND KARMAThe Hindu Religion has these two concepts as their basis.Christianity, Sikhism, Buddhism and almost every other major religion throughout the world have these two concepts within its teachings although different terminolgy is used by their adherents.I might add that modern science is discovering these ancient laws anew.It appears the ancient rishis of India were thousands of years ahead of modern science in some respects!!!
Why do hindus believe in reincarnation when there is no such thing on there holy books about reincarnation especially 7 times it only mentions about life after death which Muslims too believe?
The basic foundation on which Hinduism stands is on the concept of reincarnation. If this part is omitted then all other principles will have loop holes. The concept of dharma and karma and reincarnation are all interconnected. Every time you are born, you are carrying the karmic debts of all your previous births. Hence, the aim of life is to break free from this cycle and reach the lotus feet of God. As far as it being mentioned in the holy books is concerned....well...the best example would be the numerous avataars (reincarnations) of Lord Vishnu. The ten most important of them being the Dasavataram which is stated in the Garuda Puran.
When does karma end?
Reincarnation will only end when there is no living organism on planet Earth, in the universe, or in other universes in existence. The thought of reincarnation came before many advances to science were made, so the rules about being reincarnated into other organisms outside of our own world or very unclear.
What are other religions that teach reincarnation?
Other than what? Reincarnation is taight in Hinduism and Buddhism
What is the importance of dharma hindus?

What makes a good Hindu and why?
This answer to this varies based on the individual. For a person of the Hindu faith, how closely you adhere to the Dharma, or universal law of things, is what accumulates good or bad Karma. The Dharma includes basic values, morals and ethics that are pretty universal like not stealing, not killing, honesty, compassion, modesty, and non violence. There are some people of the Hindu faith that will deprive themselves of any pleasure or try to remain completely non violent to other life forms (even insects), in an attempt to adhere as closely to the Dharma as possible, thus accumulating what they feel is good Karma. However, each person has a different idea to what the Dharma is for them. For many, it is based on their station in life. For instance, if someone is a worker, than being the best possible worker would be following the Dharma. If someone is a leader, being the best possible leader would be following the Dharma. For some, it is worshipping a particular God that is part of the Dharma. Many people of the Hindu faith put a lot of effort into discovering what the Dharma is for them. A lot of time spent meditating and participating in various forms of Yoga are how a person of the Hindu faith discovers what is needed for them to follow the Dharma and how they practice what they have learned.
What should you do if you are a reincarnation of Hitler?
Keep away from politics and become a Buddhist monk (and this time a true vegetarian) as you have a lot of karma to answer for (as do many other 'great' figures of history). Failing that, just kill yourself but don't wait to build a bunker to do it.
How do you get 1000 karma?
I don't think you can... but you can do other things to get karma. ~ Once 5 players that you sponsored get their 1st karma point, you'll get one. Check the website for other ways ;) You should just buy karma:)
