[Smt. Anita Renkuntla asked: A soul has to pass through the three stages of Prarabdha karma, Sanchitam and Aagami. As soon as the new birth takes place, Prarabdha starts. Is taking birth itself Prarabdha or does it continue after that? Please enlighten me in this regard. Do forgive me if any question hurts You Swamiji 🙏🏻 An ignorant, confused and defective devotee. Anita Renkuntla, At Your Divine Lotus Feet🙏🙏🙏🌺🌷🌹]
Swami Replied: - After enjoying both good and bad fruits, in the upper worlds called heaven and hell, the three qualities remain in the same ratio, but, with quantitatively reduced intensities. 60Kg: 30Kg: 10Kg Sattvam, Rajas and Tamas is reduced to 60gms: 30gms: 10gms. This resulting ratio is called ‘prārabdha’ that gives its fruit as the new birth. After the birth, the prārabdha ends. The same ratio accompanies the soul and is called as ‘sañcita, which hangs with the nature of the soul. Prārabdha is the effect resulting whereas, sañcita is the cause that has resulted in the effect. Based on this influence of prārabdha and sañcita, the future deeds get added under the name ‘Āgāmi. Unless the soul meets the Sadguru and changes the ratio of the three qualities of its nature, all the three exist in almost the same ratio. Even though, prārabdha ends by causing birth in a specific atmosphere, the influence of the atmosphere continues along with the future life of the soul.
