We need to understand that the Prarabdha presents circumstances and the outcome is generated on the basis of the reaction of the person in the given circumstance. When a person exercises his right to react, then he is bound by its results. This is Fate.

The phase of reaction to the circumstances is always in the present. This is the phase of ‘conversion of past karmas’ into results and Astrological modifications takes place in this phase. It will change the way of reaction of the person and this modified reaction will change the outcome. This is the secret of Astrological Remedies.

Let us understand this with the help of an illustration.

• Let us assume that a person 'A' has to avail the rewards of his prarabdha at his age of 40. The rewards are negative in nature because they are the product of some bad karma performed by the person in past, might be in previous lives.

• Now, the person takes help of astrology and gets cautioned about the negative period. As advised He performs some remedial measures, let us say, 'chanting of Mahamrintyunjaya Mantra'. This remedy works on different dimensions. Because of his power of faith in astrology and the reverence for the Mantra, positive mental vibrations are generated.

• The performing of remedy is a Kriyaman Karma because it is done in present time and with an intention to get result in immediate future. As the volume of this Kriyaman Karma increases, the fructification order gets affected. The sequence of fructification of bad karma (destined to be delivered now) gets disturbed. The bad rewards cannot get room to be delivered now. This is the secret of Astrological Remedies.

In this illustration, it should be noted that the Kriyaman Karma is performed by the person him/her self (who is chanting the Mantra). The volume of this act pushes away the negative rewards i.e. Worries, Tension etc. to take place in the life of the person who is chanting the mantra. It cannot affect the Prarabdha of another person even if the mantra is chanted in his name and on his behalf..! Thus, one emotional impact generates Karma and another response convert it back to emotional energy. Now a question might arise.. What if the person doesn’t resort to Astrology, what would happen?

• Without appreciating the essence of Prarabdha, the person might react in instinctual, retaliating manner and possibly create even worse kind of Karma.

• This is the reason that one should prefer Astrological Consultation rather than Astrological readings.

Let us appreciate that the Law of Karma is not aimed at punishing a person. Rather, it creates opportunity of learning and modifying our behaviour and evolve.
