Assignment:

(Your guidance would be appreciated. "Talking points," themes, and considered analyses would be most instructive. Thank you for your advice).

Please answer the questions below, assembling the points into a cogent argument for the role of the Upanishads in the development of "karma" and other concepts within the Sanatan belief system to foster ritual expression:

- How is "Karma" described in the Upanishads?

- How is the concept of Karma developed in Vedic sacrificial traditions, and how is it expanded/transformed in the Upanishads?

- What is the "karmic body," and how is the Karmic body different from the gross body and the subtle body? (Please include the terms for such and how they are related).

- Describe each of these three "bodies" in detail.

- What happens to each, including the Karmic body, upon death?

- How, in the Upanishads does one destroy or "burn up" karma?

Sources:

You may need to engage in your own research for this one. Some concepts go far beyond the sources provided. Please feel free to pass if there are too many "moving parts" for good analysis this time.
