Significant Action

Karma is originating from ones own actions, performances, and deeds. The action is explained the details in Vedas, Upanishads, mythologies, and the Epics. Karma can be seen conjunction of two roots, are called kriya (action) and maha (Supreme) translating to the philosophy that action is supreme and the past deed a result or effect of some previous occurrence of action. Karma is the principle of retributive justice determining a person's state of life and the state of his reincarnations as the effect of his past deeds. The definition of karma is very simple for every action there will be a reaction.. Ones own thoughts and actions of such power carrying to the destination , and it is reflected like an echo .

The another classical explanation about Karma there are two concepts name is purusha and prakruthi. This prusha's nature is just unchangeable but the prakruthi is changeable it can not be still. (The meaning of purusha and prakrithi is Concept and Nature or energy.) When purusha join with prakruthi, then they be incline with all kind of desires, pious actions, as well as evil action. Once purusha joined with prakruthi so they become single form and called 'Kriya' act, or operation and all the operations become purusha's 'karmic' action.

There are three kind of karma 'Kriyamana karma' (being done) sanchitha karma (accumulated) Prarabtha Karma (past participle) Ones pious or evil action will reveal unexpectedly without information. If ones pious action unexpectedly he will get award or reward, and evil action also unexpectedly get deadly punishment. Comparatively the nature of evil action.

Here is a related story: There was a gentleman living in a village, and also a goldsmith was living in opposite side of his house. The goldsmith was always busy because he has plenty of gold was coming to make ornaments and giving delivery, so as that his life was going smoothly. One day that goldsmith got really heavy gold bar came to him from the royal house to make some ornaments for queen to present for her birthday. The one of the palace guard came to know this and that night the guard went to the gold smith's house he killed him and steel all the gold and came out, at the same time the gentleman he felt unease inside also came out and he happen to see the guard with stolen gold and the goldsmith's dead body. With amazement ran to him and caught holed him and dragging him to the royal court. While they are going to the court that guard told to the gentleman “see keep quite we will share equally this gold otherwise you will be in trouble” the gentleman replied to the guard” see I am not thief and also I did not murder, you did all why should I accept you?” soon the guard heard him immediately he drop down the bundle just he twisted and released his hands from him and the guard hold the gentleman and he whistled, then all other guards came to the spot and saw the guard holding a man with bundle of gold and they asked him and the guard just reversed all the crime on the gentle man. They brought gentleman to the royal court at last the judgment day the gentle man got death sentence . The gentleman was pleading and denied that he is not murderer. This word was often disturbed the judges mind and he wished to investigate the truth once again so he arranged a dramatic scene that there was a farmer came to the court and said that his brother killed by some one and seeking the help from him so the judge asked certain official to arrange the gentleman and the guard to bring the dead body. So they went and saw the body it was with blood stains so they collect the body and put it in a cart and bringing to the court. While they coming to the court, the guard said to the gentleman that “you did not accept my deal If you have accepted to my deal you would have been happy and avoid the death sentence you rejected so enjoying the punishments “the gentleman replied “see why should I accept for your deal?you are a thief now you have escaped but one day you will be caught “ listening this conversation that man acting like dead he took note. Once they reached the court and put down the body that man who got up and told the truth to the judge, so arrested the guard and put him in the jail. The next day the judge came to prison cell and told to the gentleman that “ OK gentle man yes this case accordance you are not guilty, however in the past did you do any crime like this? You should tell me the truth then only I can do the needful”. Sir you should pardon me once a “scoundrel” was my neighbor who was having bad connection with my wife I was counseled them but they did not care so I killed him and throw his body in a river and I sent back my wife to her parents. Now I heard recently she died” heard this message from the gentleman judge said “ yes indeed I am really a pious man I have not given any wrong judgment so for now my mind is clear my judgment is correct, you enjoy the punishment for your past crime and he will enjoy for his crime”saying this judge game out.

So from this story we should understand that the theory of karma is uncertain, no one can know when will come through weather past or present, if the karma from past lives can find one's future, if one did plenty of pious deeds and less crime, the first effect will have to enjoy the pious deeds then the evil will peep into ones life. The powers of evil will not erase. Perhaps one do pious deed means the past evil won't wipe out. Actually people in the normal lives if one do pariharam all the evil will destroy. There is no pariharam in this world for the evil or sin. Unless either Devi should appear or Lord Sri Krishna should appear to wipe the evil sin otherwise there will be a separate bundle lots it will reveal one by one. (see the Sanskrit word pariharam in English meanings caution, or disrespect or avoid) The effect of karma need not be immediate action.

“Avasyameva boktavyam krutam karmam subasubam”

Nabuktham kshayade karma janmakoti sadairabi”

Bhagavat Gita: the meaning of this hymn whatever bad or good karmas even if you take one hundred crores birth that effect to yield as a return.

Karmic deeds lead to effects. Thus good karma produces good effect, while bad karma produces bad effect. This effect may be physical, moral or emotional way, however one's impact of karma will reveal either happiness or sorrows according to the nature of the deed. But some times because of others bad karma will not allow to proclamation the good deeds. Even if one wish to to explain some fact about good deeds , his bad karmic union will show all the possible bad effect he enable to do it. Which can be seen in one's current life. prime example from epic mahabharatham.

The epic mahabharatham describes about Yudhistra and his horoscope of his feature. Yudhistra Pandu's eldest son, and he was the rightful heir to the throne, but this claim was contested by Duryodhana. It has been claimed by the astronomers researching on astrology that he was born at near about 3154 BC on a full moon of jeasta month, ( between mid may to mid June.) According to 'panchangam' his zodiac sign was Scorpio and zodiac moment was Leo. The sages and deities predicted that he will be the most virtuous, honest and truthful king of all times. Yudhisthira set out to perform the Rajasuya yagna to become the Emperor of the World. His motives were not to obtain power for himself, but to establish dharma and defend religion all over the world by stamp down the enemies and sinful kings.

All these predictions except the virtuousness anything come true or took place?, Yudhirstra and his brothers all five of them born in the forest, few years lived in home kingdom ,then all were in hideout for some reason; then somehow came back to the country, the worst part named kandavaprastham given as their part and they made that place really beautiful Yudhirta crowned as king then on Lord Krishna's leadership they performed a big yagna particular yagna will give the desires fulfillment but what happen? with in few days Yudhirstra played game, he defeated by duriyodhanas then all pandavas exiled from the kingdom. They struggled a lot. Pandavas all aspects of gods in spite of that they incarnated as a human being. If one take the 'Pancha bootha sareeram' there is no difference whether god or demon Karma contains with in them they can not identify it. Sarveswara Vishnu's incarnations Rama Krishna did they enjoy nice life? all are under the Karmic dharma. Because they are human being for that birth.

The effects of one's karma can be described in two forms: phalans and samskaras. A palan ( result) is the visible effect that is typically immediate in the current life. In contrast, samskaras( having refined or cultured tastes and habits)

are always those invisible effect that are produced inside the performer, thus transforming the cause and affecting ones ability to be happy or unhappy in this life as well as in future lives. The theory of karma is often presented in the context of samskaras.

No one can never escape from karma. ones actions have consequences. Karma is the invisible power that balances the universe.

Another two terms karmas called Sanchitha karma and Prarabta Karma.

There are three kinds of Prarabdha karma: Ichha (personally desired), Anichha (without desire) and Parechha (due to others' desire). These rules are applicable even a Jivan muktar, though he has no Ichha-Prarabdha but the two others, Anichha and Parechha, remain, which even a jivan muktar has to undergo

Prarabdha Karma are the part of sanchita karma, a collection of past karmas, which are ready to be experienced through the present body

Swami Sivananda saraswathi says: "Prarabdha is that part of the past karma which is responsible for the present body. That part of the sanchita karma which influences human life in the present incarnation is called prarabdha. It is ripe for reaping. It cannot be avoided or changed. It is only exhausted by being experienced. You pay your past liabilities. Prarabdha karma is that which has begun and is actually bearing fruit. It is selected out of the mass of the sanchita karma." Each lifetime, a certain part of the sanchita karma, most suitable for the spiritual process at the time, is chosen to be worked out, during the course of the lifespan. Following in order this Prarabdha Karma creates circumstances which we are bound to experience in our present lifetime, they also place certain limitations through our physical family, body or life circumstances or own fate.

Adi Sankara's a beautiful analogy. A archer has already sent an arrow and it has left from his hands. He cannot recall it. He is about to shoot another arrow. The bundle of arrows in the a case on his back is the sanchita; the arrow he has shot is prarabdha; and the arrow which he is about to shoot from his bow is agami. (agami is a phrase in Sanskrit use as feature or next) Of these, he has perfect control over the sanchita and the agami, but he must surely work out his prarabdha. The past which has begun to take effect he has to experience.

The Bhakti Yoga within the Chapter seven of the Bhagavad Gita also talks articulately about the concept of Krupa, but its most important verse comes in the final eighteenth chapter, about Liberation, where Krishna finally makes a sweeping statement to Arjuna in skantam 18.66, "Setting aside all meritorious deeds (Dharma), just surrender completely to My will (with firm faith and loving concentration of the mind and soul upon Sri Krishna). I shall liberate you from all sins. Do not fear.

So essential nature is only Bhakthi Many different paths to reach god. Bakthi is one of them. This path is the emotional and truthful way to a direct vision of Sarweswara and Sarweswari. All human beings have emotional feeling, but they should not be selfish.
For example Tulasidass a very famous saint was passionately attached to his young wife. He loved her with all his heart and soul and could not stay away from her even for a day. Whenever she wanted to visit her parents Tulasidass would not allow her to go . The saint's wife was vexed with this and one day without informing her husband she went to her parents. Tulasidass found that his wife was not at home and went in search of her to his mother in law's place. Tulasidass 's wife felt extremely embarrassed at this and sadly said to her husband " shame on you ! you can not stay away from me even for a day! Had you been as attached to god as you are to me perhaps you would have seen God". This comment hurt his feelings. Immediately he left his wife and home and never returned.
He became a passionate lover of Sri Rama and a famous saint. In due course he was blessed with a vision of Sri Rama Sita and wrote ' Ramayanam ' This epic emphasizes 'Bakthi path'.

Tulasidass's life is a beautiful example of how selfish and passionate love of the routine can be sublimated and transformed into a love for God and a means for god realization. Bhakthi discipline consist of maintain physical and mental purity, Prayer - chanting slokas or Mantras, meditation, singing devotional songs and the adoration and worship of god. God himself said in Gita " whoever has bhakthi on me he is my 'dhaasa' (servant). But I am ' Daasaanu dasa' to them ( servant to the servant)"

Hence with the help of Bhakthi and spiritual attitudes the devotees' love for god becomes more and more mature and disciplined. It gradually purifies their mind and enables them to have the vision of Sarweswara. Any or all Karmas will be away from a ardent devotees.
