Nitya karma refers to those karmas (or rituals) which have to be performed daily by Hindus. The Hindu Shastras say that not performing nitya karmas leads to sin. The nitya karmas include: * Snana (bathing) * Sandhyavandanam * * Aupasanam * Agnihotram Nitya is a Sanskrit word meaning “eternal” or “permanent.” Its opposite is anitya, which refers to the Hindu concept of impermanence, in that suffering does not last, but neither do the material comforts of life. Hindu and yogic philosophy asserts that humans are trapped in a cycling of suffering, death and rebirth.

  • Nitya karma refers to those karmas (or rituals) which have to be performed daily by Hindus. The Hindu Shastras say that not performing nitya karmas leads to sin. The nitya karmas include: * Snana (bathing) * Sandhyavandanam * * Aupasanam * Agnihotram Nitya is a Sanskrit word meaning “eternal” or “permanent.” Its opposite is anitya, which refers to the Hindu concept of impermanence, in that suffering does not last, but neither do the material comforts of life. Hindu and yogic philosophy asserts that humans are trapped in a cycling of suffering, death and rebirth. Nitya Karma does not necessarily mean daily duties. It includes any regular/periodic scheduled activities/duties. E.g.: Amavasya tharpanam, Grahana tharpanam, Pithru devasam. There is a subdivision of Nithya karma which is called Nai-Nithya karma. This means compulsory karma but conditional. E.g. Grahana related karmas. (en)
