Default In Hinduism, the goal of karma is:?

The goal of karma is to

1. get a favorable rebirth.
2. to be born a Brahman.
3. liberation from the wheel of birth, death, and rebirth.
4. all the above.

I say 1.

Actually the goal of karma is to get rid of it. Karma is the weight of your transgressions forcing you to stay in this world and out of enlightenment.

Ha. I don't know. I just believe in Karma, but hate the religion itself.
My family is Hindu, and we're all Brahman.

Karma's just there to watch out for you when you do stupid things.

Contrary to popular belief reincarnation is not considered a good thing in Hinduism. Being reborn means the karma of that soul was not good.

First you must understand Karma. Karma is basically what comes around goes around. IF you do good things, good things will happen to you.
The Hindus believed that if you lived a 'good' life, and did good things, then you would be reincarnated in a higher caste.
The Hindus also lived by the caste system. This system is like what we have in America, with middle class and such. The 'layers' are called:
(from highest to lowest)
Brahmans
Kshatriyas
Vaisaisyas
Sudras
Pariah(untouchables)
It was the goal to do good things and become Brahman,Annd be fully incarnated into a being of light.

The goal of your karma is to create your fate-destiny. Whatever you give is karma and what you receive in return is your destiny.

In have been under the impression that Karma is fate or luck.
So I went to kipped' is an Indian religious concept in contradistinction to 'faith' espoused by Abrahamic religions (Judaism, Christianity, and Islam), which view all human dramas as the will of God as opposed to present?and past?life actions. In theistic schools of Hinduism, humans have free will to choose good or evil and suffer the consequences, which require the will of God to implement karma's consequences, unlike Buddhism or Jainism which do not accord any role to a supreme God or Gods. In Indian beliefs, the karmic effects of all deeds are viewed as actively shaping past, present, and future experiences. The results or 'fruits' of actions are called karma-phyla.[3]

The goal of life not karma.

The goal of life is Moksha IE the 3 rd answer.
