ALTERATION OF KARMIC LIFE MAP IS A HERCULEAN TASK

The day an individual takes birth, his/her karmic life map also referred to as fate/ destiny by many, comes into force. This karmic life map is the sum total of all milestones going to occur in an individual's lifetime.

This map includes, but is not limited to moments of happiness and despair, phases of luxury and poverty, supreme strength and diseases, periods of power as well as humiliation, focussed mind and anxiety, experience of love as well as failure in relationships etc.

To combat the negative factors of the karmic life map such as accidents, fatal diseases, divorce, lack of job, litigation, lack of social respect, lack of progeny etc. the sacred texts have listed 6 karmic pathways to remove
obstacles, tide over problems and finally emerge victorious with a feeling of
fulfilment and happiness.

The 6 pathways to alter negative karmic life map are:
1. Mantra
2. Tantra
3. Yantra
4. Aushadha
5. Yagya
6. Ratna

Here we will to touch briefly on the essential meanings of these pathways
and the limitations attached to each.

1. The first pathway to remove negative factors is Mantra. Mantra is a spiritual formula consisting of sacred syllables which when chanted in a particular manner leads to attainment of desires. The limitations attached to mantra chanting are as follows:

a. Mantra has to be chanted in a particular manner everyday at a particular time for optimum effects. Many mantras have the prerequisite condition of living a celibate lifestyle during this entire procedure. In these times, it is difficult to imagine a normal householder (Grihasta)—one who is in maximum need of a remedial measure sitting under a tree at 4 AM and doing this practice for several days at a stretch.

b. The total number of mantras to be chanted is huge. This range is anywhere from 108 to 1,25,000 or more. Besides, it is an established fact that your daily quota of mantra chanting should be same in number as the previous day or more.
