Theory of karma, jyotiśa, bhṛgu sahiṃtā, Saptaṛṣi ṇadi and events that change the fate

Those who believe in futility of karma should know that the same Bhrigu Maharishi who wrote the future of many people, also mentioned remedies along with that. The same are mentioned in Saptaṛṣi ṇadi clearly. The karma are divided into the stable, instable and stable-instable actions. Only stable actions cannot be changed easily. The instable karmas can be changed and they change constantly with daily actions through vācā, karmaṇā and ṃānasa. The tapasyā can change many things in fate, in fact the whole destiny can be altered.

It will be utterly demoralizing and almost imprudent to consider everything as predestined. The Praśna granthas start with same where the scribe asks the Guru that if everything is predestined and can be known through natal then what is the use of Praśna.

The guru answers, that nothing is futile and the threads of actions, change the design of fate. The natal chart is the seed of your past karmas and your to be personality. However, it cannot determine the consequences of new actions. Hence as a rule, we compare natal to Praśna to see that whether the person has committed some sins so that his present fate is altered. That is why Praśna is given importance over natal.  

Destiny is changed many times and there are ample evidences for the same. Instead of far flung unverifiable proof let me share the proof from modern era.

🦜 The boy was brought to a famous Saint. He was dead and the parents were crying. The saint took him to another very famous saint. They discussed the matter and other saint finally convinced the deities to give him more life. The boy was conscious again and remain hale and hearty for many years. There are people who are still alive and have seen the events with their own eyes. The first saint was ṭrikalagya and yet he told the parents that this boy has to die at this age. Even after this just because of being a saint and sensitive person, he just messed with the fate.

🦜 A famous saint was very tensed and roaming in the ashram. The devotees asked for his perturbed state. He informed that Grahas are going to change the destiny of a very important politician today. This saint can see future with ease but he was seeing the future changing at that very moment. The graha pariṣad decided to end the life of that politician and it was decided that she would be assassinated. It was decided two years in advance and because of the actions of that politician who has taken refuge in a wrong tāntrika method.

🦜 this famous tantric was sitting in meditation and seeing the future. He described the whole fate of this person, with complete accuracy. It was not good. However, he gave an alternative version, where the person changed his fate because of his sheer love for God. This alternative picture was very rosy and totally unbelievable considering the then present condition of the seeker. The person is still alive living the alternative version, though the other version also tried to interfere in his life, however his tapasyā changed his whole fate and even to a better version then the one being seen by tāntrika nineteen years back.

🦜 Sastras have ample evidences of change of fate including Sri Śaṃkarabhagavadapāda’s kanakadhārā strotram and his samvāda with Sri Laxmi.

🦜 Bhrigu Sahinta, Saptaṛṣi ṇadi etc. that define fate also give supporting remedies to change the fate. In fact, I have come across many instances where alternative versions are given after following remedies.

🦜 please note that God has granted us hands and feet for actions. We are not dumb terminals, we have CPU above shoulders. Not everything is predestined. There are things which can be easily changed, there are things that require efforts to change.

🦜 the whole bhagavadagītā is full of the theory of same karma. If fate is decisive and predestined then Sri Krishna would have just talked about fate instead of karma.

🦜 the whole theory of futility of fate is a jumbled up notion which is far away from truth.
