Journal Title: International Journal of Interdisciplinary and Multidisciplinary Studies (IJIMS) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
In classical Indian Philosophy, the doctrine of karma is regarded to be one of the most essential and fundamental doctrine. Among all the schools of Indian philosophy, it is only the C ārvāka who does not believe in the doctrine of karma. In many schools of Indian religions, karma is closely connected with the idea of rebirth. The law of karma holds that every action, physical or mental, has its own outcomes which must be faced either in this present life or in the lives to come. When we perform good deeds, it refers to good karmas and future happiness and bad karma results when we do bad actions or deeds. Karma is always maintained in the religious, ethical, cultural and philosophical thoughts of the Hindus, the Jainas and the Buddhas. These systems utilize this doctrine so as to elaborate different instances that are found both in the living and the non-living worlds. They admit that the root cause of bondage is karma and ignorance. In all the system of Indian Philosophy i.e. both in the orthodox and the heterodox schools, the doctrine of karma differs. Thus, in this paper I am going to discuss about their characterization of the doctrine of karma that differs from one school to another.
