Its a big part of the Hindu religion. It basically means that if you spend your life doing good for others then in turn good things will happen to you. Hindi people believe in reincarnation. They think that you must live the best life possible in order to come back as something better or as good as what they were before. There is also bad karma, which is the opposite of everything I just said.

It is the buddhist belief of what goes around comes around. That if you are kind to others, good things will happen to you. Karma is like everything happens to someone for a reason or in effect to something. Dogma is more complicated.

Karma literally means "action," but more often refers to the accumulated reactions to activities.
The concept of karma is the heart of hinduism (religion).
Thus we talk of "good karma" and "bad karma," which are stored reactions that gradually unfold to determine our unique destiny.
The Bhagavad-gita categorises karma, listing three kinds of human actions: (1) Karma: those which elevate, (2) Vikarma: those which degrade and (3) Akarma: those which create neither good nor bad reactions and thus lead to liberation.

karma is nothing but "actions" performed!!
KARMA IS SUB DIVIDED IN TO TWO BROAD CATEGORIES.
1. SANCHITHA KARMA (Present day actions)
2. PRARAPTHA KARMA (Past life actions)
They say, for your every actions, there will be an equal and opposite reactions in your life!
The reward or punishment for your 'actions' or 'karma' will follow you like your shadow and it will give the good or bad effect eventually for you!
THE CAUSE AND EFFECT SYSTEM, IN THIS BIRTH OR IN THE NEXT!!
They say, there are "God will" and "Free will" to choose our course or destiny!! In this cosmic play of God, with your free will your "asked one will be given" to you by Him, wether it is good or bad!! And the result comes, there after is yours, shall be borne by you!!
There are many debates going on those subjects, and we need not go in to it in details!!

karma is "what goes around comes around" or "what goes up must come down". Karma is also a song that Llyod Banks and Avant sings, and so does Alicia Keys

karma is when you do something bad and it comes back at you 3 times worse then what you did to that person.
