Numerous mentions have been made about the concept of
Karma in the Indian epic Mahabharta. In the Mahabharta, when Arjun gets
to know that his own family members are a part of the enemy side and he
has to fight a battle with his own people, he thought of withdrawing
from the battle. At that point of time, Lord Krishna made him realize
that he must perform his Karma. Thus, the theory of Karma is given high
importance in the Hindu religion. To know more about Karma in Hinduism,

There have been many philosophies that have focused on the performance
of karma like the Vedanta philosophy. Vedanta philosophy has a strong
faith in the Karma and it stresses on the fact that, it is the Karma
that governs life and not the fate. Karma determines a man's fate. A man
creates his own destiny by the performance of deeds. Whatever you give
to life, it will return it back to you. If you give happiness, you will
be blessed with happiness. If you occupy yourself in fraudulent
activities and misdeeds, you will also be deceived by someone or the
other.
