Kamya Pravyogas and its Fruits

[Guest guest]

Dear members,

 

There are 3 types of Karmas and depending upon these karmas, the fruits or

karma phala is enjoyed by the jiva. They are Sanchita, Prarabdha and Agami

karmas.

 

Now, the actions or karmas done in previous births get accumulated as the

stock. From that stock, some amount of fruits for enjoyment is given to the jiva

during his present birth which becomes his prarabdha. Now, the individual has a

“free will†and the karma or actions done with this “free will†becomes

the seed or bija of fruit for his future birth or agami karma. So, the stock

which the individual has as his Sanchita Karma bears good fruits as well as bad

fruits depending upon the individual’s actions. To bear these good and bad

fruits, the individual has to take many births and thus the cycle of samsara

continues (punarapi maranam punarapi jananam punarapi janani jatare

shayanam…).

 

Now, the kamya karma is performed with the view of fulfilling and achieving

something which he “lacks†that wish during this life. This “lack of

something†for which the kamya anushtana is performed is the prarabdha karma.

Now, the God Almighty is a wonderful generous person who balances all the karma

of the individual as per the inndividual’s upasana and kamya anushtana bala.

 

It is purely the “Anugraha / Grace of the Mantra Adhishtana Devata or

Devi†that bears the fruits of Kamya Anushtana and nothing else. How it works

is the “Secret of Karma Phala†and the key of this is with the Upasya

Devata.

 

The “lack†which is the fruit of his past bad action for which the

individual is doing the anushtana is relegated to his next or subsequent births

which HE HAS TO ENJOY WHETHER GOOD OR BAD and the fruits of the “Good Deedsâ€

from the Sanchita Karma are bestowed to the Individual in this present life.

Anyway, the individual has to enjoy both the fruits of both good and bad deeds,

in next or subsequent lives, if not in this life.

 

SO, THIS TRANSFERRING OF FRUITS OF BAD KARMA TO THE NEXT / SUBSEQUENT LIVES

AND THE BESTOWAL OF FRUITS OF GOOD KARMA DURING THE KAMYA ANUSHTANA IS PURELY

THE GRACE OF THE UPASYA DEVATA / DEVI WHICH DEPENDS ON THE UPASANA BALA OF THE

INDIVIDUAL.

 

KAMYA KARMA ANUSHTANA BHOGA IS JUST A MUTUAL SHIFT OF FRUITS OF BAD AND GOOD

KARMAS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE BIRTH.

 

This was also expounded by Shri Nrisimha Saraswati in Guru Charitra when he

bestows the Sowmangalya to the Widow. Guru says that the widowhood was the

" fruit of her bad actions " done in her previous lives. But i granted the life

to her dead husband. This act was done by shifting the " punya phala " of the

widow from her sanchita karma which has to bear the result in agami janma. The

" punya phala " was shifted to the present life of the widow and thus she got her

husband back into life.

 

This is what Acharya Shankara says in his Upanishad Bhashya also referring to

Kamya Karmas and its fruits.

 

With regards,

sriram
