Guest guest Posted December 5, 2006 Report Posted December 5, 2006 Hare Krishna. Pranam to Bhagavan Sri Krishna and all Vaishnavas, Srimad Bhagavatam ( 11.9.26) says " As a tree before dying produces the seed of a future tree , the dying body manifests the seed of one's material body in the form of one's accumulated Karma " . In the new body , he continues the activities of "past karma" . A Vedic Jyothishi (astrologer) could find out whether one's past karma is positive or negative . If it is positive, the person has God's grace . Now, the natural question is, what can help to destroy the " bad karma " ? The answer lies in Brahma-Samhita - " karmani nirdahati kintu ca bhakti bajam ". The performance of bhakti-yoga (devotional service), to the Supreme Lord Sri Krishna, is the only way to "burn to ashes", the karmic reactions .How to perform devotional service to Sri Krishna ? Where to start ? Vedic scriptures say, " sevonmukhe hi jihva 'dau ". The first and foremost activity is to engage your tongue in the service of Bhagavan Sri Krishna . How ? By chanting His holy names and tasting his "Prasadam" (sanctified food offered to Bhagavan in a Vedic-temple). .By doing so , gradually one gets purified . He becomes an instrument of Sri Krishna, just like a pen in the hand of a writer . Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya !!! SriKrishnaDasa Rajeev . ---------- Vaibhav @ one_who_care_ur_love wrote ….. Hare krishna all devotees!!! Dandwat pranaam to everybody out there!!!! I have one confusion regarding our past karma and this birth's karma. Lord has said very clearly in Bhagwat Geeta, " main sabhi ko unke karmo ke hisaab se phal deta hoon" Then how our past karma affect us in this birth?? Quote
