What is the law of karma of the Hindu faith?

Answer 1

The belief that one's thoughts, actions, and words will decide one's fate in the next life through reincarnation.

Karma is the Law of Cause and Effect as applied to the life of the soul-the law whereby it reaps the results of its own sowing, or suffers the reaction from its own action. Karma is a term in general use among the Hindus, and the Western believers in Reincarnation, the meaning of which is susceptible of various shades of definition and interpretation.

There are three kinds of karma, according to the Hindu teachings, namely:

1.There is the Samchita, or 'piled up' Karma-the whole mass that still remains behind the man not yet worked out-the entire unpaid balance of the debit and credit account.

2. There is the Prarabdha, or 'beginning' Karma-the amount apportioned to the man at the commencement of each life-his destiny for that life, as it were.

3.There is the Kriomana Karma, that which we are now, by our actions in this present life, making for the future.

Answer 2

The law of karma means whatever acts a person will do in his lifetime, this will result into impressions on his subconscious region that is called samskar. This becomes the material cause for the consequences of his deeds as the fruits of his deeds will naturally be attracted towards him as magnetic attraction.
