JAINISM--KARMA THEORY INTRODUCTION---------!!!

Karma theory is basic of Jainism. Your all actions tiny or bigger and their intensity through mind, speech and body attract the particles of Karmas from all 10 directions of Universe. They attach to one's soul with feelings involved. Their period of continuing with soul depends upon the feeling with which the particular Karma was being built. Good Karmas give you positive things and bad Karmas (sins) gives sufferings in various form. Our action shapes it's good or bad nature.
One cannot attain Salvation until all the Karma-positive or negative are nullified. Interestingly both Karmas cannot be subtracted from one another. They must be accepted in result as is being offered.

The balance of Karmas outstanding at the end of present life are being carried forward with soul to next birth through invisible body
This integral part of body is known as Karman Body ( Sharir ).
Thus a kid enjoying positive things since birth is utilizing his share of good Karmas's opening balance. Karmas are classified into eight categories listed below. Their nature in brief also follows----------.
1-Dnavavarniya-----------Karmas which cover Knowledge.
2-Darshanavarniya------Karmas covering Faith and vision.
3-Mohaniya----Karmas involving love, affection, attachment or hate feelings. This is most difficult among all Karmas to clear and it has maximum period of attachment with soul. It can delay salvation.
4-Antaray----Karmas prohibiting gains, not allowing to get desired results. We built them when we prevent others to do good things.
5-Naam----------Karmas which shape individual body. and structure.
6-Gotra---------------Karmas shaping family background and caste.
7-Vedniya------------------Karmas assuring sorrow or happiness.
8-Ayushaya--------------Karma deciding span of one's present life.

Unless one obtain Kevaldyan i.e. complete knowledge one cannot know timing and nature of Karmas built due to which we are passing through good or bad phase of our current life. If we study Jainism, we can avoid bad Karma at least in current life and prepare self for path of salvation. In Bhagwatisutra 12/05 chapter Bhagwan Pujya Mahaveerswami clearly informed Karma to be the only reason for causing variations of all types for souls. In  Aagam Bhagwati and Uttaradhyan Sutra Bahgwan has elaborated various aspect of Karma theory in detail. Very important to refer for study of Jainism.

Total period of a particular Karma is a sum of Abhadakaal and Bhadakaal. Abhadhakaal means sleeping period. In this period the particular Karmas remain passive and do not rise to give it's results. Bhadhakaal amounts to rise of Karmas and their active period. They rise as per severity used to build them. After giving the total results specified ,they are being dropped from soul .The process is termed as " Nirjara". Before maturity some Karmas can be cleared by Tapsya.
Tolerating Karma's results becomes smoother if one knows Jainism. Thus this important theory tells us effect of all our actions. It warns you for future results which one cannot avoid by all or any means.

We must be thankful to Mahaveer Bhagwan for elaborating this basis and essential theory guiding our lives. It is the basic doctrine
of Jainism shaping our destiny. happiness. sorrow and salvation. This
theory can teach us to remain absent from 18 sins and engage in all
possible good deed.Let us know more details of Karma from Aagam
