Karma explained!

Especially for those who get demotivated thinking -everything is predestined, should read this thread đź§µ

Sanchit Karma

It is total karma which you've accumulated till last birth.
You accumulate karma because of "antahkarn or conscience"

#astrology #karma
Prarabdha Karma, also called bhagya.

It is some portion of sanchit karma which is fixed for a particular birth.

"Like you're taking some portion of money out of your bank account for a particular trip"

It completely ends with the end of life in that birth.

Kriyamaan karma

It is the same which you're doing now, also called Purush-artha.

Aagmi karma

What you're creating for the future births in present and this will add up in Sanchit Karma. In which birth what will become Prarabdha is enigmatic.

#karma
Human is not effected by Prarabdha only. If it is, then mundane or desh-kaal will not apply. It applies actually.
Prarabdha gets destroyed after giving the results, but impregnates the impression (संस्कार) on an ignorant human.

Whereas Purush-artha has the ability to create.
"So with effort or present actions you can suppress any Prarabdha"

The only condition is present actions should be prominent and stronger than Prarabdha.

Prarabdha can be negative or positive.
When a positive Prarabdha is getting support from a similar kriyamaan then it is great.

"In astrology, yoga of 9th and 10th lords gives rise to the greatest Raj yoga"

And similar Prarabdha is not getting support then you're destroying goodness with present karma.
Similarly, a negative Prarabdha getting support from similar kriyamaan karma leads to more destruction.

And a negative Prarabdha, getting unsupported and suppressed by present actions leads to reduction of negativity.

#astrology #karma
It sounds easy to suppress a Prarabdha through present actions. But it is the most difficult thing in the world.
Remember Prarabdha makes an impression on the mind even after destroying. So, those who live only in the present are very good examples of not getting impressed.
Even sleeping is karma. It starts with life and ends with death.

An astrologer or spiritual guru can guide you how to use kriyamaan karma to suppress negative Prarabdha and support positive elements of it.

#astrology #karma
Remember: Prarabdha is fixed. It can be suppressed or faced with strong courage.

There is strength in Prarabdha as well. A very strong Prarabdha can't be suppressed to an effective state but you can definitely stop it from making an impression on you which create similar again.
Karma can be done/felt in 3 ways-

Kayika: Actions by body.

Vachika: by speech.

Manasika: performed only in mind.
Objective of karma-

Shreyas- karma which are done for all around prosperity of Atma.

Preyas: Karma done to please senses and organs.
More layers are there-

Vikarma: performing sinful acts.

Akarma: Individual is not doing what he/she was supposed to do.
Nitya Karma: Daily practices, which are not duties.

Naimittik Karma: Done on some specific occasion.

Kaamya Karma: Done with keeping an eye on results.

The Story & Power of the Kanakadhara Stotra- A remedy for your poor Finances

1/
Some hymns are born not from ritual, but from the heart’s raw cry.
The Kanakadhara Stotra is one such hymn.
Composed by Adi Shankaracharya as a young boy—not in a temple, but outside the door of a poor woman who had nothing.
đź§µ
2/
Shankaracharya, one of India’s greatest saints, was then just a student.
Following the ancient gurukul tradition, he would beg for alms each day.
One morning, hungry and tired, he knocked on the door of a humble hut and called out, “Bhavati Bhiksham Dehi” – O Mother, grant me alms.
3/
A poor Brahmin woman opened the door.
She had nothing to offer—no grains, no cooked food.
But she didn’t want to send the boy away empty-handed. After searching her tiny kitchen, she found a single amla(gooseberry).
Her last food.
And she gave it away.

Today, someone wrote to me. They’re going through extreme struggles, and I had once warned them—this period of life won’t be easy. The Dasha they’re in is karmically heavy.

But what really struck me in their mail was this line:
“I am slowly losing faith in God.”

This, to me, is more concerning than anything else.

You see, we often think that belief in God should bring us comfort, should bring us protection from suffering. And naturally, when pain becomes unbearable, our mind starts asking—

“If there is a God, why am I suffering so much?”

It’s a very human question.
But I’ve observed something.
There are people who never pray, who don’t believe in God at all—and they are living beautiful, successful, prosperous lives.
And there are people who are deeply devoted—who chant, fast, do seva—and they are struggling in every way.

At the same time, there are also devotees who are flourishing, and non-believers who are going through hell.
So we must understand something important:

Bhakti is not a transaction.
Prayer is not a bargain.
God is not a shortcut to a pain-free life.
We don’t pray so that our problems vanish.
We pray to stay anchored when the storms come.
We don’t turn to God to change our destiny—
We turn to God so that our inner world doesn’t collapse when destiny unfolds.

Even during the time of Rama and Krishna, there were greatest Rishis alive—sages with immense power and wisdom.
Still, they couldn’t change what was destined to happen in the lives of Rama and Krishna.
If their path was full of suffering despite the presence of divine wisdom and strength—then who are we to expect an easy journey?

In Vedic Astrology, the 5th house is seen as the Pūrva Janma Punya—the past life’s accumulated merit. The 9th house represents the Ihajanma Punya—the merit earned in this life. Both are called Punya Bhavas for a reason: they represent the spiritual credit with which we arrive, and the merit we build through Dharma, devotion, and righteous actions.
When it comes to having children, these two houses—5th and 9th—must be well placed and free from severe afflictions. If they are not, the soul may still be granted a child, but the path may come with pain: a delay, loss, disability, or even a child who becomes the cause of sorrow. These are not casual difficulties. They are deeply karmic.
Now consider this: when we calculate Beej Sphuta (seed potential) for the male, and Kshetra Sphuta (field or womb potential) for the female, we are observing the physiological readiness for childbirth. But even if both are strong, the ultimate deciding factor is Jupiter—the Jeeva Karaka, the giver of life, the embodiment of divine consciousness. Jupiter is the one who grants the Atma its descent into the human form.

🧵 Hanuman Ashtak — jab kuchh samajh na aaye, bas ise padh lo.

1/
This is not some ancient Sanskrit hymn you can’t relate to.
It’s 8 simple verses written by a man who was broken…
…and found Hanuman.
His name was Tulsidas.
And he saw Hanuman. Not in a temple. But in the eyes of a man with leprosy.Sankat Mochan Hanuman ji- Kashi
2/
That leper was Hanuman in disguise.
Tulsidas fell at his feet and begged for darshan.
And there, in that moment—under the open sky of Kashi—these 8 verses were born.
Hanuman didn’t give him a throne.
He gave him words.
3/
Every line of the Hanuman Ashtak is a story.
But more than that, it’s a mirror.
A mirror to your fear, your confusion, your battles…
…and how Hanuman helped win them.
This is not bhajan.
It’s medicine.

Today is Somavati Amavasya.

It’s a very special day. When Amavasya falls on a Monday, it’s considered highly powerful for spiritual and ancestral work.

In Mahabharata, Bhishma Pitamah had told Yudhishthira to observe a fast on Somavati Amavasya—for the well-being of future generations.Image
Today, Sun and Moon are together in Taurus. That’s a natural time to pray to Lord Shiva, especially for those doing sadhana or Pitru-related work.

I also feel today is very good for married women (Vat Savitri Vrat) to do the Vat tree parikrama—108 rounds.
This ritual is believed to bring blessings for the long life of one’s husband.
And remedy—Peepal parikrama—is actually mentioned in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra also.

It’s a classical remedy for calming Shukra Dosha and also used for Pitra Shanti and Matru Shanti.

So yes, it’s not just a custom. It’s also a Shastra-based healing process.

Apara Ekadashi: the day even heavy sins get washed away

1/
There’s a day in the year where even the deepest burden on the soul can start to lift. That day is today—Apara Ekadashi. Image
2/
The story goes like this:

A just and kind king, Mahidhwaj, was killed by his own younger brother—Vajradhwaj—out of jealousy.

His soul couldn’t move on. It kept wandering, stuck between worlds. No peace. No rest.
3/
A passing sage saw the king’s spirit suffering. He prayed for him, fasted on Apara Ekadashi, and offered the fruits of that vrat to the soul.

That one act… gave the king release. He found moksha.
