<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the concept of karma phala from the perspective of Hindu law as the basis for moral responsibility and its relevance to the development of public legal awareness. This article is motivated by the low level of public legal awareness, which remains largely formalistic, such that compliance with the law is based more on fear of sanctions than on internal moral awareness. The study employs a normative legal method with a legal philosophy approach through ontological, epistemological, and axiological dimensions. Research data were obtained through a literature review of Hindu scriptures, legal philosophy books, and relevant scientific journals. The results indicate that the concept of karma phala encompasses principles of moral justice, individual responsibility, and universal consequences that function as an internal mechanism in shaping the legal behavior of society. Moral accountability in Hindu law is not merely formal-legal in nature but also encompasses sustainable moral and spiritual dimensions. Furthermore, the internalization of the values of karma phala and dharma fosters a legal consciousness grounded in moral values, so that compliance with the law arises from self-awareness rather than solely due to external pressure.
