QUESTION --
CAN PRARABHDA KARMA BE ALTERED ?
IN SRI PADA VALLABHA (SECOND INCARNATION
OF DATTATREYA) CHARITHRE IT IS STATED THAT
HE HAS CHANGED PRARABHDA KARMA OF SOME
PEOPLE DURING HIS LIFE TIME.
As per Shankaracharya a person becomes Jeevanmuktha
when result of all his Papa karmas of Prarabhda are
exhausted & only result of Punya karmas are remaining,so
that even if he is not performing any karmas his body is
sustained till the end of his life span, which is when all his
Prarabhda karmas are exhausted.
Even Nithyananda suffered in childhood(Kamale Roga &
Some saints I have heard when they get fever, they transfer it

when result of all his Papa karmas of Prarabhda are
exhausted & only result of Punya karmas are remaining,so
that even if he is not performing any karmas his body is
sustained till the end of his life span, which is when all his
Prarabhda karmas are exhausted.
When a person becomes Jeevanmuktha, he sees GOD in all,
his actions are without any Selfish motive & offered to GOD,
so they do not produce any Papa or Punya. Such a person
also must have achieved MANO-NASHA. In this state he
neither suffers nor enjoys fruits of Prarabhda Karma.Please
note that he is in Athmananda all the time. However others
who see him think that he is suffering bodily or mentally due
to Prarabhda Karma. Even Agami karma & Sanchitha Karma
are nullified for such a person. He is liberated & he has no re-
birth.
SRI RAMAKRISHNA PARAMAHAMSA
Saints like Ramakrishna looked as if suffering due to throat
cancer and Ramana suffered elbow cancer, leg joint pain
resulted in limping like movement of his legs.
When a devotee asked a question on this subject of
Prarabhda Karma his answer was as follows --
Question: Is it posssible to overcome, even while the
body exists, the Prarabdha Karma which is said to
last till the end of the body?
Sri Ramana Maharshi: Yes. If the agent, upon whom
the Karma depends, namely the ego, which has come
into existence between the body and the Self, merges
in its source and loses its form, how can the Karma,
which depends upon it, survive? When there is no ‘I’
there is no Karma.

BHAGWAN RAMANA MAHARSHI
SWAMI NITHYANANDA
his care taker mother gave him crow's meat to eat & applied
crow's blood on the body). Three days before death he was
on bed due to ill health. When a person suffers due to
Prarabhda Karma, prarabhda of those who are related or
shishyas also are linked to it. The saint may not be affected,
but shishyas are affected.
GURU Avadhutha of Sakarayapattana
My GURU Avadhutha of Sakarayapattana had Diabetes, he
got blisters under the feet by standing on tar road in sunshine
for long period & it took two months to heal. Even though
he had super natural powers he did not use them to cure
such problems.
Some saints I have heard when they get fever, they transfer it
to their danda which starts shaking. They finish their bath,
pooja & then take back the fever from danda, not to avoid
Prarabhda Karma
Please don't go by one statement, apply it in general & find
If a person falls sick or catches a disease, he goes to a doctor
takes medicine & he gets cured, doctor has not altered his
prarabhda. Getting cured also is part of Prarabhda.
If a person commits suicide we have heard people say, he
has cut short his life intentionally ie he has meddled with his
Prarabhda resulting in 'Gora Papa' giving rise to many more
births.However committing suicide was in his Prarabhda.
Sri Shridhara Swamy of Varadapura near Sagar,used to tell
by Divine wisdom, whenever he used to suffer, he used to
tell the exact reason of the Papa he committed in his
previous birth which has given rise to the present suffering !!
Even the Palm leaf predictions of Nadi Shastra indicates the
previous birth Papa which resulted in a suffering in this birth.
It also gives remedies to that Papa by doing good deeds
like Anna Dana to twelve people sometimes to Twenty one
people, along with Sahasranama,abhisheka,naivedya,
archana,dana of cloth, to various Gods in different Temples
& dakshina of money to archaka or Nadi-reader etc
& dakshina of money to archaka or Nadi-reader etc
Swami Yogananda(autobiography of a Yogi fame) has also
told Prarabhda can be altered by praying to GOD four times
more ! However this contradicts Sri Shankaracharya's &
Ramana Maharshi's view on this subject.
Please don't go by one statement, apply it in general & find
out the validity of it.Can you bring Sri Pada Vallbha now to
eliminate your Prarabhda ?.Think whether other saints were
able to do the same & then raise your doubt.Saints are
against altering Prarabhda Karma.If altered, subsequent
births may take place,to experience the altered Prarabhda
Karma.Saints aim is to attain liberation in this birth,resulting
in no rebirth.
