In fact, what exactly is destiny anyway? There is nodestiny if there is no free will, for today's act of free will shapes tomorrow'sdestiny.In fact, Vasishtha tells Rama in "Yoga Vaasishtham" that there is nothing calleddestiny. He says all that is there is your free will. He says that actions donein the past using your free will will catch up with you and that catching up isgiven the name of destiny. This destiny is thus nothing external, but acts ofyour own free will getting back at you.Just as a person who spends all his monthly salary in the first 10 days of themonth may have no money to spend in the next 20 days, similarly people whoabused their free will in the past may be faced with such a weighty destiny thattheir free will is useless right now. Such people may feel that there is nothingcalled free will.The amount of leeway and wiggle room available for free may may vary from personto person and situation to situation, but it is a fact that free will exists andthat acts of free will shape one's future.Best regards,NarasimhaDo a Short Homam Yourself: http://www.VedicAstrologer.org/homamDo Pitri Tarpanas Yourself: http://www.VedicAstrologer.org/tarpanaSpirituality: Free Jyotish lessons (MP3): http://vedicastro.home.comcast.netFree Jyotish software (Windows): http://www.VedicAstrologer.orgSri Jagannath Centre (SJC) website: http://www.SriJagannath.org
