Karma can be divided into four parts called Sanchita Karma, Prarabdha Karma, Kriyamana karma
and Agama karma.
1. Sanchita karma: is the sum of all past actions performed in this lifetime and past lives.
2. Prarabdha karma: is the part of sanchita karma which is going to be experienced during this
lifetime.
3. Kriyamana karma: is what we are currently creating through our choices right now. t is our
creativity that is unfolding, it is our "free will".
4. Agama karma: is the actions that we are planning for the future. Actions that will or will not be
achieved depending on the choices (free will) that we are making now and those that we have
made in the past.
Karma: PredestInatIon and FreewIll
Hindus believe in Karma which is actually a underlying principle between Pre-destination and Freewill.
One can't use the word "pre-destination" or "fate" to substitute with Karma because they do not mean
the same. Karma is not pre-destination!
The Vedic understanding of karma includes both pre-destination and free will. To understand the
implications of karma, we have to understand the sublime synthesis of pre-destination and free will.
Both aspects exist simultaneously. To conceive of this apparently inconceivable reality, we have to
consider both sides of the law of karma: the point of view of action, and the point of view of reaction.
Karma is one of the important spiritual laws that govern our life experiences through principle of cause
and effect, action and reaction, total cosmic justice and personal responsibility. Karma is not fate. You
have free will. No God or external force is controlling ones life. t is our own karmic creation. We are
bounded by Karma in this and other lifetimes until we understand the complete consequences of all
our actions. As Athma (Soul), we experience a constant cycle of births and deaths into a series of
bodies until we have learned all the spiritual lessons that the totality of all experiences have to teach
us. Until we have learned, we will find that "resistance" to the rules of karma is "futile". A person
carries with him the dharma and the Karma from one birth to another.
The free will is excersized in Kriyamana karma and Agama karma. n terms of prarabha, it's clear that
one has no choice about whether to allow prarabha or not, because the reaction has started, and it is
going to have to work itself out. Yet, we are free to choose what we'll receive, but what we receive is
determined by our past Karma (prarabha karma - part of the reaction that is coming from all the
accumulated actions of the past). Thus, as far as experience is concerned, one is given a choice to
choose according to their Karma. The choice always has two paths - to face darkness or to turn
towards light. The decision made now (good or bad) determines the future ones and that will
determine the future choices given.
To put it simple, Karma works to develop our ability to handle free will responsibly. Karma perates
impersonally, giving us the opportunity at every moment to become open to greater levels of love and
compassion. The goal is to give us needed experiences so we evolve into greater levels of awareness
and responsibility. All we do at every moment is our choice. Once we accept total responsibility for
who we are, for what we have done or will do, and for all our choices, life straightens out.
n a nutshell, Karma (good and evil, or whatever) - are actually by-products of our free will. As we
realize this, we come to the point of the exercise. At that moment of awareness, at the instant we
understand our responsibility for our situation, we can let go of thousands of years of karma, good
and bad.
Although the laws of karma set up and predestine the circumstance we are now in, we have free will
to decide how to react in each situation. But having free will doesn't make us "free" and independent.
Free will means that we can choose how to act under the influence of a specific set of circumstances,
positively or negatively; however, we cannot control the results of our actions which come upon us
according to the law of karma which is constantly awarding us the results or reactions of our previous
actions.
We are not restricted to act in a specific manner. We have free will. But with this free will comes
responsibility, because the way we act determines our reactions. Thus we are free to choose our
future, both individually and collectively. Whatever we do creates a reaction that we must enjoy or
suffer. We are constantly receiving the reactions of our previous actions created using our free will.
We are responsible for our happiness and distress, and the material nature creates the conditions
within which we enjoy or suffer. The ultimate goal is to give us needed experiences so we evolve into
greater levels of awareness and responsibility.
Four Types of Karma

Karma is primarily of four kinds :

1. $anchita Karma (Sum Total Karma or "Accumulated actions" or the Arrows in the
Quiver)

Sanchita Karma is the vast store of piled-up Karma accumulated in the preceding and in
all other previous births and yet to be resolved. In other words, it is the aggregate sum
of yet unseen Karmas committed during innumerable previous existences. This is your
total cosmic debt. Every moment of your every day, you are either adding to it or you
are reducing this cosmic debt. It is waiting to be fulfilled in your future blrLhs. So unless
and until the Sanchita Karma of a Soul is zeroed, it keeps on birthing in new physical
bodies, in order to exhaust it's balance Sanchita Karma.

2. !raarabdha Karma (Fructifying Karma or "Actions began; set in motion" or Arrows
in Flight)

That portion of the Sanchita Karma destined to influence human life in one or the
present incarnation is called Praarabdha. In other words, Praarabdha Karma is Karmic
Template (of that portion of Sanchita Karma) that is ripe enough to be experienced by
you and alloted for this lifetime for you to work on. If you work down your agreed upon
debt in this lifetime, then more past debts will surface to be worked on. And that much
Sanchita Karma gets dissolved.

yotish, the Vedic Astrology and any other authentic method of AsLrology, at it's best, can
reveal only the Praarabdha Karma. Thus the Natal Horoscope is the Blue Print of the
Karmic Energy Patterns of the Praarabdha Karma only.

3. Kriyamana Karma (Instant, Current Karma or "Being made" or Arrows in Hand)

Kriyamana Karma is the daily, instant Karma created in this lifetime and that we create
in our life because of our free actions. It refers to those which are currently in front of us
to decide or act on. This contributes to our Future Karma in a big way. They can also be
worked off immediately. These are debts that are created and worked off - i.e. for
example, you park your vehicle in a 'No Parking Space', you get caught and you are
fined (punished) immediately.

While some Kriyamana Karmas bear fruit in the current life, others are stored for
enjoying in future births. Thus the Kriyamana Karma is classified into two sub-
categories: Arabdha Karma - literally, `begun, undertaken; the Karma that is
`sprouting- and Anarabdha Karma - `not commenced; dormant or `The Seed Karma. An
example : two persons committ a theft and one of them get caught - Arabdha Karma -
and the other one got away - Anarabdha Karma. The thief who got caught, immediately
starts to feel the effect of the cause or the reaction to his action; he gets caught and
goes to jail. The other robber who escaped, will have to experience, in this life or in a
future one, the effect of this wrongful action.

The Horary Chart of Prashanna and Aaruda methods of the Vedic
Astrology, 1aroL Reading, Runes Casting and I-Ching Reading, when done under
guidance, can reflect both the Praarabdha Karma as well as the Kriyamana Karma.
However, the Energy Consultancy (Energy Audit) and the resulting LifeForce Energy
Assessment Report will be more accurate and more specific. It is, in a way, your latest
Karmic Energy Bank Statement in the context of the query.

4. agami Karma (Future Karma)

Aagami Karma is the Karmic Map that is coming, as a result of the merits and demerits
of the present actions of your current birth. In other words, it is the portion of Karma
that is created because of the actions in the present life and that will be added to your
Sanchita Karma. If you fail to work off your debt, then more debts are added to Sanchita
Karma and they become more Karmic Seeds and are served to you in more future lives.
$oul Energy Correction through Crystal Energy Fields

In Vedantic Literature, there is a beautiful analogy. The Archer has already sent an
arrow and it has left his hands. He cannot recall it. He is about to shoot another arrow.
The bundle of arrows in the quiver on his back is the Sanchita Karma; the arrow he has
shot is Praarabdha Karma; and the arrow which he is about to shoot from his bow is
Kriyamana Karma. The result of the arrow that he is about to shoot is the Aagami
Karma.

Here is a modern example : You go on a motor bike ride and get into an accident. The
accident is your Praarabdha Karma - your allotted Karma for this life out of the entire
Sanchita Karma of your Soul. To bandage the wound in order to minimize your suffering
would be your Kriyamana Karma. To set an intention to be more careful in the future
would be your Aagami Karma. To buy a bike light and reflectors in order to avoid future
accidents would also be your Kriyamana Karma.

Based on this description, it is generally thought that Praarabdha Karma is inevitable and
should be suffered and endured. It has been likened to an arrow which, once shot from a
bow cannot be taken back. The intention of this example is to really and only to
show how strong the !raarabdha Karma is. It does not mean that there is no
remedy at all. An eminent warrior can neutralise the arrow with another arrow and can
escape from being its target.

Similarly, with the help of $& ENERGY CRRECTIN done through proper CEFs -
CRY$T ENERGY FIE$ (under the guidance of Higher Cosmic Light Beings),one
can overcome not only the effects of !raarabdha Karma and agami Karma
through Kriyamana Karma, but also nullify the $anchita Karma itself, thereby
avoiding further rebirths. Read more about Crystal Karma Gate 24 which implements
