True form of God

Paramatma is like electricity that we cannot see with our eyes. Just as electric power is flowing along wires for doing various types of work, likewise is the real form of Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. And, just as the electric wires start from the powerhouse, likewise starts the incarnation of God from the Paramatma. The idols in temples are the different forms of God.

Who started the Hindu dharma?
Whatever path was adopted by many great men became the path of the Hindu dharma.... Hindu dharma is having good thoughts and following the right code of conduct in life.... The philosophy of karma implies that whatever good or bad actions we have performed in the previous or present birth, we reap the consequences by experiencing happiness or unhappiness, joy or sorrow, as the case may be.

How does karma impact our lives?
Karma is of three types: sanchita, or accumulated karma; agami, or yet-to-be-performed karma; and prarabdha. Creation has no beginning; no one started it. Whatever good or bad karmas were accumulated in previous births constitute sanchita karma. Actions performed in the present life are agami karma. Prarabdha karma refers to actions in previous births (sanchita) that have contributed to this birth.
