Kriyamana karma
Kriyamana karma, in Hinduism, is the karma that human beings are creating in the present, the fruits of which will be experienced in the future.[1] These actions that are generated day-by-day may either join the prarabdha karma and become experienced in this very life or join the sanchita karma and become experienced in future lives.[2] Kriyamana karma is the only karma that human beings have control over.[2]
Etymology
[edit]Kriyamana is derived from the Sanskrit root kri (to do, to act) and it means "being done". In literal terms, kriyamana karma translates to "being made or currently getting accumulated".[3] The concept emphasizes actions being done in the present life, distinguishing them from Sanchita karma (accumulated past actions) and Prarabdha karma (predetermined destiny).[4]
