Kriyamana karma, in Hinduism, is the karma that human beings are creating in the present, the fruits of which will be experienced in the future. Kriyamana having the root kri, comes from the same root as karma suggesting action. Kriyamana karma is the karma we create either consciously or unconsciously in this current lifetime. It is the most vital of karma as it is that which we have volitional affect upon. Sanchita as well as Pralabda refers to karma already sown whereas Kriyamana creates the affects of the future. It is kriyamana karma that gives the potential to create a life different from the patterns of the past.
