(Note: I am not listing any mantras in this article as this is just an intorduction to the idea that Karma can be changed. Additionally there are thousands of mantras and a brief article would not do justice to the power of mantra.)

When ‘The secret ‘ was published, it created waves, so did the movie. It talked of the power of visualization and most of all it made it sound so easy. That is what attracted many people to it and why it suddenly became popular. While it worked for a few, many complained that it did not work for them. Neither the book nor the movie take into account things like ‘Karma’, contracts with the higher self, or life’s calling.

‘Karma’ cannot be overlooked. It is our Karma that is the blueprint of our lives. Karma is also closely related to our set of beliefs. As explained by many learned and enlightened beings, karma is stored in our subtle body, ethric body, chakras, aura, and in our DNA. The DNA as we know is a part of all our cells. Karma may also manifest in our body as illness or a physical defect.

How does Karma affect your life or how does Karma play out?

Our good and bad deeds encoded in the DNA & our pranic chakras mark their time until the opportune moments and circumstances present themselves and allow the ripened Karma to fructify. We can liken the process to timed release photons. When the circumstances are right, only then do our DNA karmas express themselves to actualise into action, emotion, or meditative practises.

It is also very fortunate that we do not have to deal with ALL our karma in this lifetime. The sum total of our karma is called Sanchita karma; and only a portion of it is released into our lives when we are born, depending upon the position of the planets at the moment of our birth. This portion of karma is called ‘prarabdh karma.’ This seems like we are doomed to suffer or blessed to enjoy life and that we cannot do anything about it; but this would be a wrong idea. We do have the power to change our karma.

Karma can be changed or nullified using Mantra. Mantra as we know are sound vibrations. As stated by Yogiraj Satguru Siddhanth in his book titled Wings to Freedom, he says that : “by synchronizing the appropriate mantra sound with the resonant thoughts of karma in a chakra, one’s accumulated karma can be resolved, transformed, or nullified by playing the mantric vibration against the karmic vibration. Instead of waiting for the negative karma to manifest, an individual may resolve karma by working directly to release, nullify, or transform the karmic energy patterns latent in his or her chakras and DNA.

When we practise mantra to change or transform our karma, it changes the way in which our energy patterns resonate and thus when the fructified ‘karma’ presents itself at its opportune moment, we receive it’s vibration differently.

As explained by Swami Kriyananda, “it may be in our planets that when a specific moment arrives, we will fall down a flight of stairs and break a leg. But this need not be. we can prepre ourselves spiritually so that when the moment arrives, all we do is stub our toe."

Practising mantra to change karma and the effects of karma needs a decision to change your life and it’s circumstances and it requires will power to follow the dicipline and dedication of mantra practise.

There are many mantras that can be used. Many books are also available for you to read and know more on this subject.
