Swamin,
 
Yes all the philosophy deals with Karma. But Karma alone doesnot upgrade or
degrade a soul. The fruits that we bear in the subsequent births are due to 
other
efforts like Sharanagathi, prapatti and all which actually have a certain 
degree of nullifying effect on the karma.
 
As for ghosts, this is also one repentant state of the Jiva.
 
Dasan/raghavan

Dear Balaji Sundarrajan

The theories of all the Hindu religions including Vaishnava philosophy believe 
in the omnipotence of Karma. Sufferings and enjoyment are the fruits of Karma. 
All the theologies talk about redemption of the soul and how to overcome the 
effects of Karma resuling in samsara and transmigration.

Any good or bad resuls are the rewards and punishment for the good and bad acts 
done in the previous births which we call as prarabda Karma.

Regarding the other point about  the pious souls meeting with unnatuaral 
deaths,the Lord has assured in His Varaha sarama sloka that  when a person 
surrenders to Him when he is hale and hearty, the Lord remembers His Bhaktha at 
his last moments, lying as a log of wood, and leads him to moksha.

I am not sure about place of ghosts in vaishnava philosophy.
