Is it Karma or Kharma you use to always see spelled with the h but now more often than not without Why are there two spellings and which is correct?

The correct spelling is karma.

The spelling "kharma" is a common misspelling, likely influenced by the similar pronunciation of the two words.

Here's why the "h" is incorrect:

* Origin: The word "karma" originates from Sanskrit, an ancient Indian language. In Sanskrit, it is spelled "कर्म" (karma) and does not include the letter "h".

* Meaning: Karma refers to the principle of cause and effect, where actions in this life determine the consequences in future lives.

* Established Usage: The spelling "karma" has been established in English dictionaries and is widely accepted.

While "kharma" may be used occasionally, it is considered incorrect and may appear unprofessional.
