In Jainism
General definition (in Jainism)
Source: Encyclopedia of Jainism: Tattvartha Sutra 2: the Category of the livingKārmika (कार्मिक) refers to the “karmic body” and represents one of the five types of human ‘bodies’ (śarīra) according to the 2nd-century Tattvārthasūtra 2.36. What is the meaning of kārmika body? The body composed of karmas is called kārmika body. All empirical souls are endowed with it. What is the special attribute of kārmika body and the luminous body? Both are without impediment i.e. cannot be obstructed by any other concrete substance of any shape or size. What types of living beings have luminous and kārmika bodies? All empirical souls have these two body types.
Why is kārmika body said to be without enjoyment? In the transitory state, the empirical soul has only psychic senses and not physical senses. Hence the kārmika body is said to be without enjoyment.
Jainism is an Indian religion of Dharma whose doctrine revolves around harmlessness (ahimsa) towards every living being. The two major branches (Digambara and Svetambara) of Jainism stimulate self-control (or, shramana, ‘self-reliance’) and spiritual development through a path of peace for the soul to progess to the ultimate goal.

The history of India traces the identification of countries, villages, towns and other regions of India, as well as mythology, zoology, royal dynasties, rulers, tribes, local festivities and traditions and regional languages. Ancient India enjoyed religious freedom and encourages the path of Dharma, a concept common to Buddhism, Hinduism, and Jainism.
