To human is result of Err

Nanak dukhiya sab sansaar there in no

soul in the world who doesnt suffer.

In fact our birth is result of our karma which one
is supposed to bhogya (enjoy or suffer -good
as well as bad).
Rebirth keeps on taking place until ones karma
account achieves Zero debit and Zero credit.
One will have to pay all the credits which one
has taken from others, but one has freewill to
waive-off the credit given to others in order to
achieve salvation, wrote Swami Ramsukhdas.

What is Karma?
Karma- for broader understanding - is any
act performed by an individual
Whether to achieve some objective,
Willingly or unwillingly,
As a part of a process or duty,
Knowingly or unknowingly, or
Mentally by thinking, or physically by
speaking, hearing, seeing, touching or doing
Bharat
Karma leads to fructification or a result
Bhardwaj
2008

Akarma?
Any act performed by an individual
selflessly without objective, selfishness,
duty etc. becomes Akarma.
This higher stage is achieved by the individual
when one stops differentiating between
within oneself and outside world, and
attains the state of oneness with nature, & its
mystical supreme power GOD
It does not lead to any fruit/result but leads to
Mukti (salvation)

Vikarma?
Any bad act performed by an
individual which is considered as
Paap (sinful) i.e. against the family,
society or humanity

individual

What is Bhagya (Destiny)?

Bhagya- in simple terms is the predecided fate/events of ones life, because
We all are born under a certain
constellation of planets
We have no control on our birth
We all are born in different families under
different conditions & circumstances,
exposed to different surroundings and
undergo different sequence of events in
Bharat
our individual lives.

Bhagya (Destiny) & Freewill

Swami Ramkrishna Paramhans illustrated
with the following example:
A Cow is tied up with a rope.
She has a limitation that she
cant move beyond a
certain distance. But she
has freedom to graze & move
within the circumference of
circle possible. Limit is destiny,
And the freedom to choose her
own movement is freewill

Can Bhagya (Destiny)

be changed?

Srimat Bahgwat Gita clearly says that Karma is

superior to destiny.
With ones good deeds in Kriyamaan Karma, one can
Bharat
dilute the evil effect of Sanchit Karma upto some
Bhardwaj
extent, and can enhance the good effect as well.

2008

Can Bhagya (Destiny)

be changed?
Our Rishi-munis & Yogis have suggested
Daan (charity),
Yagya (prayers) and
Japa (chanting of mantra, stotras)
to mellow down the suffering due to past karma,
and to strengthen ones threshold to bear it.
All over the world in every religion there are
hundreds and thousands of live examples where
Bharat
group prayers and chanting with full faith have
Bhardwaj
done miracles in the lives of people.

Can Bhagya (Destiny)

be changed?

Second method suggested by experts of this

field is to take diksha from a Guru (master)
who is capable of neutralising the impact of
ones past karma

Can Bhagya (Destiny)

be changed?

Another method recommended by experts is

meditation andKundalini awakening i.e. to attain
the ultimate state of ones inner consciousness, and
oneness with the supreme mystic power of the
universe. Indian yogis have used this technique for
Bharat
over 4000 years to live tranquil, productive and
focused lives.

Indian Astrology

Vedic astrology is a wonderful tool provided one gets a

good honest astrologer to guide people. Also it helps
people get hope of light after darkness
The ancient texts also suggest several remedies (Japa,
Daan, Yagya) to get relief from ones sufferings, to
Bharat
improve ones bearing capacity as well as ones
Bhardwaj
attitude towards life.

Then what to do
Thank God for whatever one has got, and realize
that its outcome of ones own deeds
Offer prayers, chant or meditate
Do your dharma (duties & responsibilities)
towards your family, work, society & humanity.
Avoid harming or hurting anybody in this
process.
Serve humanity selflessly in whatever best
capacity you feel you can do
Try consciously not to get influenced by
Bharat
Kama (Lust), Krodh (Anger), Lobh (Greed),
Bhardwaj
Moh (Attachment), Aahankar (Ego) and Irsha (Jealousy)
