Best Answer

Hinduism does not use the term "sin" but it certainly acknowledges that there are such things as right and wrong actions, which in Hinduism are measured by what is known as "karma" which could be defined as the cumulative sum of all the good and evil in a given lifetime.

Karma, according to Hinduism, will determine what kind of situation or species you will be reborn into, in your next lifetime.

In Hinduism, although the term sin (pāpain Sanskrit) is often used to describe actions that create negative karma by violating moral and ethical codes.
