               Karma translates literally as actionwork, or deed,and also refers to a Vedic theory of "moral law of cause and effect".The theory is a combination of 
(1) causality that may be ethical or non-ethical .
(2) ethicization, that is good or bad actions have consequences.
(3) rebirth.
                     Karma theory is interpreted as explaining the present circumstances of an individual with reference to his or her actions in past. These actions may be those in a person's current life, or, in some schools of Hinduism, possibly actions in their past lives; furthermore, the consequences may result in current life, or a person's future lives. This cycle of birth, life, death and rebirth is called samsara. Liberation from samsara through moksha is believed to ensure lasting happiness and peace.Hindu scriptures teach that the future is both a function of current human effort derived from free will and past human actions that set the circumstances.

                      Hinduism includes a diversity of ideas on spirituality and traditions, but has no ecclesiastical order, no unquestionable religious authorities, no governing body, no prophet nor any binding holy book, Hindus can choose to be polytheistic, pantheistic, monotheistic, monistic, agnostic, atheistic or humanist.Because of the wide range of traditions and ideas covered by the term Hinduism, arriving at a comprehensive definition is difficult.The religion "defies our desire to define and categorize it". Hinduism has been variously defined as a religion, a religious tradition, a set of religious beliefs, and "a way of life."From a Western lexical standpoint, Hinduism like other faiths is appropriately referred to as a religion. In India the term dharma is preferred, which is broader than the western term religion. Hindu traditionalists prefer to call it Sanatana Dharma (the eternal or ancient dharma).

It is a way of life and nothing more". this is hinduism
