This Religion and worldviews video supports teachers delivering a lesson focused on the Hindu belief of karma. The lesson explores how karma, understood as the cycle of cause and effect, influences the soul and motivates many Hindus to live morally. Children learn that Hindus view the soul, or Atman, as eternal and present in all living things. The concept of karma is introduced alongside dharma, meaning righteous duty, to show how positive actions are believed to lead to better future outcomes or rebirths.

This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews resources – Hindu. It helps teachers explain the link between karma, reincarnation, and moksha — the Hindu goal of liberation from the cycle of rebirth. The video encourages respectful exploration of spiritual beliefs and provides clear explanations of key terms such as Atman, dharma, and moksha. It supports inclusive classroom discussions and offers guidance on how to approach these ideas sensitively, helping children reflect on how actions may be viewed across different worldviews.
