Sanchit, Prarabdhaand Kriyaman-karma(Accumulated account, Destiny and Wilful Actions)

Preface

When Bharat, the younger brother of Srrm repeatedly requests Srrm, who had accepted exile to the forest on theinstructions of His father, to return to Ayodhya, Srrm replies, O Bharat, nobody can be blamed for the sorrows that area consequence of the daiva(prrabdha). In this regard, man is entirely dependent. The gist of the reply is that, manslife is dependent; meaning it is in the grasp ofprrabdha. As per the doctrine of karma, the fruit of good-bad karmsinthe form of happiness-unhappiness have to be undergone in this or the next births. The bhog (sufferings) that arepending from the karms of previous births are termed as sanchit-karma. The portion of sanchit-karma, because ofwhich an individual has to undergo suffering in this birth, is called prrabdha-karma. yegeq: kecee&vegmeeefjCeer ~ means, anindividuals intellect guides him to act in accordance with his prrabdha. Despite being highly acclaimed as a scholar ofDharma, Yudhishthir made the mistake of pledging his wife Droupadi while gambling, the reason being nothing else but

prrabdha! All have to undergo the sufferings ofprrabdha, even the Saints. The only method of overcomingprrabdha

is through kriyam-karma.

Whether to apply the intellect to behave in accordance with theprrabdhaor not, depends entirely on the sharpness ofthe intellect. Sharpness of the intellect depends on the retentive power of the Sattvacomponent and the retentive powerof the Sattva component depends on sdhan. When the prrabdha-bhog begins, an individual becomes aware ofhappiness-sorrow because of the sanskrs; however, if these sanskrsare destroyed, awareness of happiness-sorrowwill cease to exist. The share of physical suffering that is in the kitty of onesprrabdhais unavoidable. Nevertheless, ifthe suffering is not at all perceived, what meaning do those sufferings have? Sdhanachieves precisely this. Sdhanalso exhausts the sanchit-karma. Hence, kriyamis undoubtedly superior to sanchitandprrabdha.

Hindu Dharma, while propounding the doctrine of rebirth, has simultaneously shown the way of getting rid of the cycle ofbirth and death. This Holy text elaborates in a simple language, supported by adequate examples, the meaning andimportance of sanchit,prrabdhaand kriyam, their impact on human life, how to overcome sanchitandprrabdha-karms with the help of kriyam-karma, the steps in performing kriyam-karmadepending on the spiritual level etc.

We pray at the Holy feet of SrGuru that after reading this Holy text, may everyone make optimum use of kriyamtodo sdhanand attain God as early as possible.
