Where Did Karma Originate From
2017-01-17 13:36:52 · answer #2 · answered by ? 4 · 0⤊ 0⤋
what is karma?
karma came from the root word kar in sanskrit. kar means 'to do'.
the word karma has many meanings such as:
action
duty
result of an action
destiny
effect
result
product etc.
from where did the concept of karma originate?
the concept of karma originated from the hindu belief that there is a perfect universal order named rta or rita in the world. rig veda discusses about rta or rita and god varuna is the guardian of rta.
nothing happens at random, but things happen under a universal order. it is the rta or rita that later became dharma in hindu scriptures. that is the reason why it is very difficult to define the word dharma . of course dharma is more complex than rta or rita.
