KARMA SIDDHANTHA
Karma Siddhanta" literally means "Law of Karma." Watch your thoughts, for they become words. Watch
your words, for they become actions. Watch your actions, for they become habits. Watch your habits, for
they become character. Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny.

Karma Siddhantha
"Karma Siddhanta" literally means "law of karma." We are here on earth and it is important to know "Why
are we like this? Why are we born in particular conditions and situation, whether in a poor family, a rich
family, a healthy or unhealthy family, a wicked or virtuous family?
The law of karma gives us some understanding about having pain and pleasure. If we commit karmas, when
do we do good karmas? When do we do bad karmas, and why? Which are good or bad karmas? All this
vision comes through the study of karma siddhanta, through understanding karma siddhanta. A situation might
not be what it seems. For example, if I do something for you, from which you benefit, and you think that I
have done a good thing whereas my intention was to do something good for you so that I can catch you in my
net and then be harming you. So I can be doing a good thing with a bad intention or I might be doing a bad
thing with a good intention.
All those complications of life are an enigma which starts to become clear once we read, study and
understand karma siddhanta.
The key word is "why:" why are we having pleasure, why are we having pain? If we get the answers to the
question "why," then most of our problems are solved. Once we know the cause of the suffering, then we can
take the proper course of action. If we know the cause of a disease, we can take the proper medicine. If we
know the cause of pleasure: "Is it a right pleasure or a wrong pleasure, and why we are getting it," answers
will come. Karma siddhanta basically tells us that the pain and pleasure which are experienced in life are on
account of kleshas - afflictions.
Sanchita Karma is the sum of all the total fruits (Good & Bad) obtained during the past births, it is important
to know that the past birth deeds are responsible for the present conditions. We may find a person who does
not care for others living a royal life, this present situation he is enjoying is for the good deeds done in his past
life. If he is troubling his fellow beings in this life he is sure to live a miserable life in his future birth. This is how
Karma Works.
Let us suppose a person who is living a miserable life due to his past life deeds. The person who is witness to
this should not go deep into the persons past deeds, but to get the important message that he (the witness)
has to live a virtual life in this present scenario to avoid becoming like the suffering person in the next life.
Prarabdha Karmas are Karma Phalas (Rewards) that are allotted to us for the present life which may be
good or bad (enjoyable or sufferings). And most important is that even the Creator has no powers to change
it once that has been allotted.
Agami & Kriyatmana Karmas are deeds that are to be performed during the course of this life time by an
individual, be it good deeds or bad deeds or a mix of both. Remember that the fruit (rewards) of Agami is
added to the Sanchita Karma while results for Kriyatmana is got in this life itself.
Hence it is important to note that every deed (good or bad) of ours will increase the volume of Sanchita
Karma. So to think of liberation without reducing the Sanchita it is impossible, we have to take cycles of
births to experience the results of Sanchita Karma.
