Cycle of life and reincarnation

Karma = actions, deeds

All actions, words, thoughts, desires contribute to karma.

Positive and negative karma, can also be taken to a next incarnation. 

Brahman: everything stems from one energy

Atman: your soul is part of this, and seperated from it - it has to become one again.

Your goal in life is to break the cycle.

Hell

Yama

Heaven

Indra

Temporary!

not an endpoint

Moksha (Nirvana)

Moksha = liberation

(Nirvana = blowing out)

To be free of the cycle of rebirth, to leave karma behind.

Becoming one with brahman. 

Atman and Brahman are the same again.
