Abstract:

The study examines the relationship between sin and human destiny in Hinduism and Jainism, as both religions present a shared perspective on the concept of sin and the fate of human beings. Sin is not understood as disobedience to divine commands, but rather as actions that generate negative karma. Karma, in turn, affects the soul, binding it to the cycle of repeated rebirth. Thus, a person’s destiny is seen as a direct result of their actions, with karma determining the nature of their future existence, whether better or worse. Ultimate liberation is achieved through breaking free from this cycle by means of self-discipline and ethical conduct. Therefore, in both Hindu and Jain thought, sin is considered an obstacle to spiritual liberation.
