Introduction

This article, which I published in 2017 in the thick winter of Jammu and Kashmir, analyses the profound mysteries of past life astrology and the connection between past life regression and true life events of the native, whom I met through the close connection of a friend. The article is based on real-life facts and the events that I gathered through the investigation of the life events of natives in a mystical journey of native past and present life connections from the years 2009 to 2017 onward. An interesting point is that, when I was doing deep research on native life, Saturn transited over my Natal Ketu in the sign of Sagittarius in the winter of 2017.

Past Life Astrology, Idea and Experience 

In spite of the fact that I have no intention of disclosing the identity of the native nor drawing attention to the native’s private life concerns, the purpose of this article is to investigate the profound secrets of past life astrology and the relationship between past life regression and how these practices might assist us in evolving beyond them.

This article’s purpose is to provide a comprehensive discussion on the ways in which past life astrology and past life regression can assist you in comprehending the profound challenges you face in this life that remain unsolved but for which there are solutions that can be found by reading this article. It is my sincere wish that you will find this post fascinating to read by using the techniques of Vedic astrology and previous life regression.

Purpose of this Article : Why Past Life Astrology ?

The purpose of this article is to facilitate self-learning, foster comprehension, and facilitate personal growth in the realms of self-awareness and self-realization. Its aim is to assist individuals in comprehending and advancing their spiritual journey towards unity, spirituality, and in the pursuit of truth, which can be partially understood through the analysis of one’s birth chart. However, it is important to note that a comprehensive understanding can only be provided by a yogi or Siddha purush  ( A spiritual master) . In times of adversity, the acquisition of knowledge can serve as a guiding force, illuminating the way towards truth and enlightenment.

Now, let us commence the process of unravelling the intricate enigma of indigenous life experiences, systematically exploring each narrative through an engaging storytelling approach, articulated in my own unique manner with the help of Bhagavad Gita Quotes, Vedic Astrology principals, and little understanding on the  karma, Past life astrology and the past life regression principals.

I have high hopes that you will adore this.

Mystery of Past Life Astrology and Past Life Regression decoded -Part 1: Astrological case study of Past Life

Have you ever wondered about the mysteries of your past lives? Do you believe that your current life is influenced by the events and experiences of your previous incarnations? If so, past-life astrology and regression might hold the key to unlocking the secrets of your soul’s journey.

Past-life astrology is a branch of astrology that focuses on exploring the connection between your birth chart and your previous lives. It believes that the positions of the planets and other celestial bodies at the time of your birth can provide clues about your past life experiences, lessons, and karmic patterns.

Vedic Astrological Rules for Past Life Astrology 

Vedic astrology, rooted in the Vedas, Hinduism’s oldest sacred texts, emphasizes the connection between celestial phenomena and human experience. This astrological practice is based on the belief that the positions of celestial bodies at the time of an individual’s birth can influence their personality, life path, and karmic experiences.

Fundamentals of Past life Astrology 

The fundamental principles of Vedic astrology include the influence of planets, the twelve zodiac signs, and the birth chart (Kundali). Each of the nine planets—Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and the ascending and descending lunar nodes—plays a crucial role in shaping an individual’s destiny. These celestial bodies interact with the twelve signs of the zodiac, which represent different aspects of human life and personality traits. The birth chart serves as a blueprint of an individual’s life, illustrating how these planetary influences manifest throughout their existence.

Vedic vs Western Astrology in Past life Astrology 

One key distinction between Vedic astrology and Western astrology lies in their approaches to karma and past life influences. While Western astrology often focusses on personality analysis and psychological aspects, Vedic astrology delves deeper into the concept of karma, positing that one’s present life circumstances are the result of past life actions. This perspective encourages individuals to acknowledge their past life influences, facilitating better understanding and resolution of current challenges.

More calculations based on the sidereal zodiac further enhance predictive accuracy in Vedic astrology, offering a unique and holistic view of one’s life journey.

Vedic philosophy and concept of past life Astrology

Vedic philosophy intricately weaves the notion of past lives into the understanding of the self, karma, and the cycle of rebirth. Central to this perspective is the concept of karma, which asserts that every action—be it good or bad—creates an impression that influences future experiences. This belief posits that the consequences of one’s deeds not only manifest in the present life but can also extend across multiple incarnations. Therefore, this belief views individuals as continuous beings shaped by their past incarnations.

Bhagavad Gita, Upanishads and Past life Astrology 

Vedic texts, particularly the Bhagavad Gita and the Upanishads, delve into these profound ideas, elucidating the concept of the soul (Atman) embarking on a series of rebirths. The Bhagavad Gita introduces the principle of eternal life, asserting that the soul is cyclical in nature, simply transitioning from one body to another. This cycle of samsara, or wandering through various forms of life, emphasises the importance of one’s actions in shaping the future incarnations.

Upanishads and Soul Understanding ( Knowledge of Self Realization )

The Upanishads expand on these themes by discussing the relationship between karma and the soul’s liberation (moksha). They indicate that understanding and mastering one’s karma is essential for breaking free from the cycle of birth and death. This liberation signifies the culmination of a spiritual journey where the soul reunites with the ultimate reality, transcending the material world. Through meditation and self-realization, individuals can attain insight into their past lives, fostering a deeper comprehension of their current life’s challenges and experiences.

Overall, Vedic philosophy provides a rich and nuanced framework for exploring the concept of past lives, emphasising the interconnectedness of actions, consequences, and spiritual growth across multiple lifetimes.

Astrological Indicators of Past Life Astrology and Karma

Specific astrological indicators are critical in Vedic astrology for interpreting past life karma within an individual’s celestial chart. These indicators primarily include the positioning of particular planets, houses, and zodiac signs, which often reveal significant experiences and lessons carried over from past incarnations. A planetary alignment could point to unresolved seismic issues, denoting areas of both challenge and opportunity.

Understanding Karmic Planets in the Past Life Astrology 

One of the key players in this analysis is the planet Saturn, often referred to as the planet of karma. Its placement can indicate past life responsibilities and the consequences of previous actions. For instance, if Saturn resides in the fourth house, it may imply lessons related to home, family, or emotional stability, suggesting that these themes have historical roots that need addressing in this lifetime.

Role of the 12th House in Past life Astrology 

Furthermore, the twelfth house commonly represents past life experiences and hidden aspects of one’s self. Planets or specific signs that prominently activate this house may suggest that the individual is carrying forward unresolved issues or debts from previous lives. The North and South Nodes of the Moon, known as Rahu and Ketu, play a significant role; they represent the lessons the soul must learn (Rahu) and the tendencies it must overcome (Ketu), offering further insight into karmic patterns.

Role of the Navamsa ( D9) chart in Past life astrology

Another vital analytical tool in this context is the Navamsa chart, or the D-9 chart, which offers deeper insights into an individual’s spiritual and relational karma. By examining the Navamsa chart, astrologers can uncover past life influences that are affecting one’s current relationships and personal growth. For example, a significant placement in the seventh house of the Navamsa may indicate unresolved issues with partnerships that have spiritual roots and need careful navigation in this lifetime.

By thoughtfully analyzing these astrological factors, one can gain a more profound understanding of their past life karma, ultimately aiding in the journey of self-discovery and spiritual development.

Applications of Past Life Astrology

Past life astrology offers a profound lens through which individuals can gain insights into their current life dynamics. By examining astrological placements and karmic debts from previous incarnations, one can decipher the influences that shape present experiences, relationships, and personal growth. Understanding these past life implications not only fosters introspection but also paves the way for self-improvement and healing.

Past life Astrology and Personal Growth

Personal growth is one practical application of past-life astrology. Individuals can analyse their natal charts to identify recurring themes or patterns that hinder their progress. For instance, an individual consistently facing challenges in relationships may benefit from understanding a past life’s lesson related to trust or communication. By acknowledging and addressing these issues, individuals can implement strategies to break negative cycles and foster healthier interactions.

Understanding Relationships via Past life Astrology 

Relationship dynamics is another significant area where past-life astrology plays a crucial role. By comparing charts with significant others, one can reveal karmic connections and unresolved issues stemming from previous lives. This astrological insight helps individuals navigate their relationships with awareness, enabling them to resolve past conflicts and create a more harmonious connection. Embracing these revelations allows for deeper emotional intimacy and encourages forgiveness.

Sadhna, Meditation, Spiritual practices and the Past life Astrology

Moreover, spiritual practices such as meditation and rituals can be instrumental in working through past life issues. Engaging in guided meditations focused on past life regression can facilitate the release of old traumas and help individuals align with their soul’s purpose in this lifetime. Incorporating rituals that honor past life energies can also aid in karmic healing, promoting a sense of closure and renewal.

Conclusion of Application of Past life Astrology

In conclusion, integrating insights from past life astrology into daily life can enhance personal growth, improve relationships, and facilitate holistic healing. By actively engaging with these tools, individuals can embark on a journey toward self-discovery, transforming past influences into pathways for a more fulfilling life.

Before Moving forward we need to understand few astrological pointers to decipher past life  astrology clues :

Decoding Natal Planetary Placements, Prarabdha karma and Past Life Astrology

Any planetary placement in the natal chart sheds light on the Prarabdha and pending karma that are associated with the corresponding house. It’s only a sketch of your history, showing how Prarabdha and Rina were tied to that living creature and the house.

God has a plan for you when you are born into this world, and one of those plans is for you to either realise the prarabha, liberate yourself, or achieve moksha. However, only a yogi has the ability to free themselves from the bonds of their karma. What about the average member of the human race?

The second reason for this is that you are obligated to provide or do seva with regard to the bhava in question and any living creature that is considered to be a member of mankind. In layman’s terms, the second type of karma is known as your punya karma, which refers to your good deeds in the here and now.

The consequence of that punya, which you will receive in your subsequent birth, is that only God knows what he has in store for you.

Simply said, it is to carry out the obligation or duty that has been entrusted to you for the sake of a greater cause or to take part in the activities associated with that divine cause.

Role of the 9th house in Past life Astrology 

• To understand astrology, readers should focus on the basic fundamentals in Jyotish, i.e., 9th is the bhagya, fortune, and root connection with any house; 4th shows it happiness, Mood & content nature  – good or bad it all depends how well any house is placed 4th from any bhava, it is the storage house of any  bhava that impacts your mind, happiness and mood ; 5th shows its purva punya; 7th shows its complement or completeness or an added part to it that helps to grow; 8th from any bhava shows its length or longevity; debts or missing dots; and 10th from any bhava shows karmic actions to any bhava.

Role of the Trik Bhavas ( 6th, 8th and 12th house) in Past life Astrology 

• The 6th, 8th, and 12th lords ( Moksha Trikona) in natal charts reveal what you have inherited from the past, as well as what you have done and what you have left behind as in karmic state. The sixth house and its lord are concerned with the deeds, both good and evil, that resulted from your actions in the past. In your current birth, the sixth house reveals the service that you are obligated to perform for any given cause, its your house of action to the past life that is seen from 9th house that shows many karmic journeys of past life native has gone through.

Role of Jeeva Signs ( Sagittarius ) and Jeeva Graha ( Jupiter)

• Same way Sagittarius sign ( 9th Sign ) , Retrograde Jupiter &  9th house shows root issues of past life that bind soul from many life journeys. This 9th house, also known as the “Blessings of the Past and New Life Mission of the Present” house, represents what you already have done.
• Happy fruits from the past, which are the Dharama you have done in the past and received from the Dharama master ( Teacher and your Father ) , are the same Dharma that you have to spread again. It’s your sanchit karma, so deal with it. You must also give to others in order to maintain the temple in which you currently worship.
• It’s the blessings you received in the past that you now have a responsibility to bestow upon others in the same way. You have an obligation to keep the promise that the Guru made to you in the distant past.

Role of the 12th House in Past life Astrology 

• The 12th House, often known as the Root House of the Past Karmas, Storage of the karma, Subconscious part of the  life that is hidden in nature, ones private life that is connected with sleep and subconscious mind which is fourth from the ninth is the twelfth, which is the Rina of the Past or any debt that you have to exhaust in this life by giving it to the person with whom you are associated in current life.
• Indicative of You are required to give back what you taken from someone in the past to the same person from whom you was associated.
• It’s like going back in time to the house of debts. It’s the one that causes the most trouble. It is the domain of settling old obligations from the past.
• Reason being our mind is the storage house of all the seen and unseen karmic actions  that’s why moon bring back all the karmic actions of past and is deeply connected with out present life.

Role of the 6th house ( Actions of Past life ) in Past Life Astrology 

• 10th place from 9th is 6th, hence this is the 6th house. (Deeds Committed in the Past): This is what you did in the past, and in the same way, you have to examine the causes and ramifications of those actions in this incarnation of yourself.
• You will now witness the results of your actions. It comes down to Karma from the Past vs Karma from the Current Birth.
• It is your prardbha; it cannot be undone; it must pay back with the same degree of ferocity and anguish as it originally caused.

Role of the 8th house in Past Life Astrology 

• 8th House: The Root Cause of Rebirth is located in the 8th House (12th from 9th). This indicates that whatever you have left to do, you need to complete it right away.
• Unfinished Business that needs to be paid back. The same manner you bring about the downfall of others and the suffering that comes along with it, you will also have to experience the downfall of your own.
• It’s Tat for Tat at this point. The same way that you transform other people is the same way that you see your own transformations occurring via the experiences and challenges that you go through in life.

Role of the 5th house in Past life Astrology ( Poorva Punya Karmas )

• 5th House: 9th from 9th is 5th (Learning of Pasts- Poorva Punya Karma ): This represents what you have learnt in the past that you are responsible for passing on to other people and teaching them.
• It’s your Sanchita, it’s your Dharma, and it’s the results of what you’ve done in the past in the form of good deeds in many past journeys of life.

Role of Retrograde Planets in Past Life Astrology 

•  Retrograde planets in the chart shows what that burning desire, wish, or unfinished karma is that the native wants to complete in this life; house placements show the area of that desire or karma.
•  Retrograde Jupiter shows past life native experiences, all sorts of environments, and everything about the past when you regress it back, whereas direct motion shows about these life native actions.
• Same way Retrograde Saturn is all about your total karma and shows relationships with actions of past, present & future life.

Role of the Rahu-Ketu ( Nodes ) in Past life Astrology 

•  Ketu is all about what you have already learnt, exhausted, and experienced in a past incarnation, while Rahu is all about what natives want to experience, which is burning in current life because of unfinished business and karmic leftovers.
• Both Rahu and Ketu show burning desires from a previous existence. Because of this, everything that we try to learn and experience in this revolves around on the karmic punishment that a native has to go through when nodes afflict any bhava or planet in natal chat.
• This is the reason why this is the case of current life leftovers and burning desires that one need to counter in any case.

Vedic Astrology Dasha Systems

What is Dasha period ?  How does it impact our Karma and life-cycle ?

Dasha is all about your total sanchit karma , the storage point of all the Karma’s that you have gathered from the total birth journeys. It has two major points one should always keep in mind; major portion of dasha period speaks about  your prarabdha karma that is we can only see from the placement of the planets in the natal chart, means your all the bad deeds from the portion of total accumulated karma’s rest of the Karma is your sanchit karma (Left behind) where it shows good part of karma that can be trigger at any moment in native life. Choices always depends on your prayers and good deeds, they are changeable in nature. That’s the reason whenever there is an adverse dasha running in your natal chart it is very hard to avoid the results of the dasha period  as they represents all the misdeeds in the form of prarabdha karma. But if your 9th house or its lord is well placed or there are placement of beneficial planets in the 9th house or lagnesh ( 1st house lord) or 9th lord is forming relationship with each other you can get relaxation in the form of remedies.For remedies to work there should be a good linkage between 9th, lagna and 12th house if 9th is not forming any relationship with the said houses it is very difficult for a native to get expected results for their respective remedies. 9th house is the house of higher god, dharma and prayers, if it is well disposed it is possibly a good reason one can expect the results of remedies soon. Majorly karmic remedies always start working in your life via the 9th house activation with the help of Guru or a good jyotishi guidance. Majorly Dasha period speaks about your temporary Karma’s that one has to face during the time period those are difficult to change and that can trigger at any moment in any fixed duration. But when that results can comes in your life is totally dependent on the transit of the major planets like Saturn, Jupiter and Rahu/ketu over your natal planets. Transits are the delivery boy and dasha period is your parcel of all the Karma’s. When that event has to come only deliver boy can decides it. Transits has major role in transforming your whole life as they indicates about the actions period of the karma or in layman language it shows the timing of the events. Transits are indicative of the new karmas that one can do during the dasha period. It gives you a chance to work on your self, improve your life and do good deeds in the form of kiryamana karma ( The new Karma). Generally we can know the kiryamana karma by the Prashna chart  or by the 6th and 10th lord in natal chart.

In Dasha Systems, Vimshottari Dasha is most famous among all. Vimshottari Dasha that operates in any native life explains about certain life events those are in sync with your age like if Saturn MD or AD dasha operates in the age of 36 native will learn, grows or matures a lot w.r.t to his life lessons, karma, Career and he will meet many people in his life which will totally changes his experiences, wisdom and thinking power. Same way if Mercury dasha operates at the 32 of age of he will experience certain learning experiences wrt to expanding his social circle, meeting and leaving new friends, enhancing new skills, learning new sets of logic’s, improving intelligence etc. Thing is Purpose of every dasha beginning is to teaches you certain life lessons and understanding your life path at those fixed age. Vimsotri dasha is all about understanding and experiencing your Prarabdha and sanchit karmas and when certain transits align or meet with these dasha periods native life get total change in his life and in this new life cycle and life experiences both the Rahu/Ketu plays very a major and important roles in either giving you or taking everything you have in their Dashas and transits over natal chart.

The Biggest truth of planetary motion is  that they have major role in impacting human life cycle and certain karmas. The greatest impact of planetary force on human being is it can effect your state of mind, decision making, circumstances, situations, appearance, aura, and most importantly all the personality traits are dependent on the transits and dashas and it has greater impact on human mind first. Vimshottari dasha is one such tool you can read and analyze it well and in my observation Vimshottari dasha is all about your traits and planetary placements from the moon in natal chart, which can read your mind setup, environment and circumstances. That’s the reason I prefer to see vimsotri dasha first-most for all the human traits those can impact your status of mind, thoughts and decision making.One should always gives much focus on all these parameters while analysing the vimsotri dasha and impact of planetary force on human mind setup but one of major loophole in vimsotri dasha is decision of karma is always pending in your hand in any of the dasha period. your Agami karma always decides your kiryamani karma,so do not ignore the importance and purpose of birth given to you over vimsotri dasha.Your birth is all about your current karma over previous prarabdha.

In This article we will try to learn about all the Major dashas system and we will explain each dashas in their consecutive parts in future articles. So first lets try to understand  different dasha systems we can use in natal chart one by one.Among all Most famous is Vimshottari Dasha respectively and rest of the dasha periods are used according to their requirements and condition’s in natal chart.

Concept_of_Runanubandha_Rinanubandhan

 

Written, Compiled and Researched

by Rocky Jamwal | Re-edited : January 2024 

Introduction

Become familiar with the idea of karma and the relationship it has with runanubandha. Discover how our actions and intentions impact the experiences we have now and will have in the future. Examine the relevance of karmic ties and the ways in which they impact the relationships we have and the situations we find ourselves in. Explore the ways in which gaining an awareness of karma might enable us to make decisions that are conscious and so build a life that is more satisfying and meaningful.

First and foremost, it is essential that you have a solid understanding of the concepts of karama and karmic ties, as well as the ways in which these are connected to the debts of the past. Clearly, this demonstrates the cause for those seeds and how they are connected to previous incarnations. As will be shown in the following paragraphs, karmic deeds are neither a punishment nor a reward; rather, they are only a means of gaining insight into oneself and the unmet desires that continue to return from previous births in the cosmic cycle.

Understanding Runanubandha, Karma, and Karmic Connections

Karma is a notion that has its origins firmly ingrained in a wide variety of philosophical and spiritual institutions. It is the conviction that our deeds, intentions, and ideas all have repercussions that have an effect on the experiences we have as well as those we will have in the future. Every every action that we perform leaves an energy imprint that has an effect not only on our own lives but also on the lives of others around us, according to this concept.
The idea of runanubandha is one facet of karma that is often disregarded by people. Our karmic ties or debts with other people are referred to as runanubandha, which is a phrase that originates from the Sanskrit language. It is the concept that we are connected to other people as a result of the repercussions of our acts in the past, and that these ties have a substantial part in determining the situations that we are now facing.

Understanding Karma

The concept of karma is often characterized as a circle of cause and consequence. Every action that we perform will have a corresponding result, according to the rule of action and reaction, which states that they are inextricably linked. In addition to our physical and mental well-being, our relationships, and the circumstances of our lives, these repercussions may present themselves in a variety of different ways.

Keeping in mind that karma is not just about punishment or reward is an essential point to keep in mind. The system in question is not one of divine judgment; rather, it is a natural rule that functions in an unbiased manner. We are not subject to the influence of an outside force; rather, the outcomes of our activities are the direct result of the decisions that we exercise.

Samskaras are impressions or imprints that are created on our awareness as a result of our actions, intentions, and thoughts. These samskaras build throughout time and have an effect on the experiences that we will have in the future. Actions and intentions that are good lead to positive results, while actions and intentions that are bad lead to negative consequences.

Exploring Runanubandha

Through its emphasis on the interconnection of all creatures, Runanubandha develops the idea of karma and expands upon its definition. Essentially, it implies that we are connected to other people via a complex network of karmic relationships. These connections are developed by our encounters and relationships with other people, both in this incarnation and in prior lifetimes.

The concept of runanubandha suggests that every individual we come into contact with has a karmic tie to us. These associations may be either favorable or negative, depending on the nature of the activities that we have taken in the past. As an instance, we could have good connections with those who have assisted us in the past, whereas negative connections may exist with others whom we have caused damage to.

These karmic ties have an impact on the situations and relationships we are now experiencing. These things have the potential to influence the people we bring into our lives, the lessons we need to learn, and the difficulties we have to overcome. Insights into the patterns and dynamics of our interactions may be gained via the process of comprehending and accepting these connections.

The Significance of Karmic Connections

One of the most transformational experiences we may have is when we become aware of and comprehend our karmic ties. It enables us to accept responsibility for the acts we have taken and the results those actions have produced. It is possible for us to get a more profound comprehension of both ourselves and the relationships we have if we acknowledge these connections.

In addition, taking the time to acknowledge our karmic links may assist us in breaking away from destructive behaviors and cycles. It gives us the ability to think things through and make decisions that are in line with our goals and ideals. Through the cultivation of good acts, intentions, and ideas, we have the ability to realize a life that is more harmonious and meaningful.

It is essential to approach the idea of karmic links with an open mind and heart in order to get the best results. In spite of the fact that it may be tempting to place blame or seek retribution, the fundamental meaning of karma rests in the process of human development and change. We are able to break away from the cycle of bad karma and create a world that is more positive and loving if we concentrate on our own acts and intentions.

In conclusion, knowledge of karma and the notion of runanubandha, which is closely tied to it, provides significant insights into the interwoven nature of our lives. It is possible for us to gain the ability to make conscious decisions and to build a life that is more satisfying and meaningful if we have an understanding of the karmic ties we have with other people and the repercussions of our actions.

Story Begins :  Mahabharata , Bhisma, Arjuna and Runanubandhan

Oh,  Pandavas !  The actions that we have taken in the past have resulted in everything. The seeds of plants will never germinate if they are not planted.

In a similar vein, actions that were carried out in the past, whether they were good or terrible, have the potential to bring about positive or negative outcomes in the present. One may acquire huge fortune in the present without exerting any effort if they have made charitable contributions in the past.
Tapas that were prepared in the past bring about joys in the present.

Through the performance of service to elders and gurus in previous lifetimes, one is able to acquire knowledge and intellect without having to formally study under any guru. If a person is able to observe non-violence in their previous life, then they will continue to live for a significant amount of time in their current existence.

Because of this, sadhus, also known as saints, constantly practice nonviolence, donate to charitable causes, respect gurus, and serve elders and visitors, among other things. Then and only then will they be able to take pleasure in the next death. To put it another way, it is all about carrying out good or bad karmas in the past in order to achieve a positive or negative outcome in the present.

(Mahabharta,  Bhishma Parva,chapters 43 – 124)

Behind the Scenes: Figuring Out What the Story Is Trying to Say

Its the Karama that become the reason of this birth, after accumulating new karamas it leads to the basis of your next birth. After the death, soul of a person gathers all accumulated karamas from current one like a reservoir in that person’s mind. Later Divinity or God as per the divine Karmic law takes a handful of those Karmas and further it leads to a new karmic seed in the form of body.

So if a person has done good Karmas with those individual people, he/she might gets a good godly body in heavens first and then further they takes birth in a same learned, Religious and dutiful families, forms Close association with those family members in as a brother, sister, mother or father as a part of Karmic Rina, those having done good karama with that soul, during this whole process they enjoys relations with them.

If he/she has done bad karmas in past life then that person’s soul further goes to lower wombs of birds and animals.After moving through those lower Varnas, exhausting bad karmic seeds Soul further takes birth in those families having bad pending karmic deeds with them to further clear off debts in the form of karmic relations.This way process of Birth and death in the karmic relations keep going on unless and until karmas neutralises into zero.

Law of Karama and Runanubandhan as per Bhagwad  Geeta

Below are verses of Bhagwat Gita further justifies the Laws of Karama and connection with the Runanubandhan Theory:

“sariram yad avapnoti yac chapy utkramatishvarah grhitvaitani samyati vayur gandhan ivasayat”

(Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Fifteen verse 8)

 

“Sri Krishna said:O Arjuna, As the wind carries away odours from their seat, even so the Jivatma (soul), the lord of the body, snatching these (the mind & the senses) from the body, which it casts off, migrates into the body, which it acquires.

“yada sattve pravrddhe tu pralayam yati deha-bhrt
tadottama-vidam lokan amalan pratipadyate”

(Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Fourteen verse 14)

“Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, When one dies in the mode of goodness, he attains to the pure higher planets of the great sages.”

“rajasi pralayam gatva karma-sangisu jayate
tatha pralinas tamasi mudha-yonisu jayate”

(Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Fourteen verse 15)

“Sri Krishna said:  O Arjuna, When one dies in the mode of passion, he takes birth among those engaged in fruit producing activities (i.e. as a man or woman on earth); and when one dies in the mode of ignorance, he takes birth in the bird & animal kingdom.”

“If you want to know the answer to ‘Who am I?’, then you will have to go to a Gnani purush [the enlightened one]. The Gnani Purush will give you Knowledge of your real Self [Who Am I] in the presence of the egoism. Thereafter your accounts (karmic) will be settled [& things will start falling in place].If the ‘effect’ is experienced, [karmic] bondage is created. If one experiences the ‘effects’ alone by himself, the [karmic] bondage will not be sticky. If he involves another person in it, the karmic bondage will be sticky.”  

The Relationship Between Runanubandha and Vedic Scriptures in Padma Purana

An explanation taken from the Padma Puran

There is a notion that posits the presence of karmic relationships between persons. This idea is known as runanubandha, which is also known as the cycle of indebtedness. According to this theory, every single human being is linked to other people by means of a complex network of debts and responsibilities that have been accumulated over the course of several incarnations.

The consequences of these relationships may be either favorable or harmful, and they have an impact on the way our lives unfold.

Runanubandha is a notion that is extensively treated in the Padma Purana, which is one of the eighteen Mahapuranas. This ancient literature places a strong emphasis on the significance of comprehending and resolving these karmic debts in order to achieve spiritual emancipation attained.

Vedic scriptures, including the Vedas, Upanishads, and Puranas, serve as a guiding light for individuals seeking spiritual wisdom and enlightenment. These ancient texts contain profound insights into the nature of existence, the purpose of life, and the interconnectedness of all beings.

Within the Vedic scriptures, the concept of Runanubandha is intricately woven into the fabric of karma and rebirth. It is through these texts that we gain a deeper understanding of the intricate workings of the universe and the role of our actions in shaping our destiny.

Quote from Padma Puran : 

“Runanubhanda Rupena Pashu Patni Suta Aalaya Runakshaye Kshyayaanthi Tatra Parivedana.”

Meaning: Every Relations are the result of previous birth bondage. Once the debt is annihilated there is no relationship and hence end of suffering in this Samsara.

The Hypothesis behind Runanubandha

When we are tied by karmic links that have lasted for many years, it is not simple to comprehend what these relationships are or why we continue to adhere to them from the time we were children. We engage, share, love, and react to a large number of individuals in a manner that is unique to each of us. One of the most effective methods for comprehending karmic bonds is to just be quiet, comprehend them, and pose a multitude of inquiries to one’s own soul.

In layman language, a karmic relationship is a deep-rooted karmic action-based romantic bond that is formed with someone with whom you feel connected always and somehow you think you are made for, and most probably it might belong to your soul group categories in order to repent, heal past life lessons, and ease the pain a soul has been going through for many years.

The category of karmic connections is the kind of relationship that seems to be a soulmate-like tie, which is something that no one seeks in a direct manner, but in the end, everyone will obtain it in the karmic cycle of this life. In addition to being difficult to comprehend and emotionally draining, these relationships may sometimes manifest themselves in the form of verbal and physical aggression, and most crucially, they are characterized by a dominating and manipulative nature from the beginning.

There is no way to escape such karmic bindings until and until the soul has been able to acquire a profound understanding of his karmic teachings. In the meanwhile, they continue to go through a cosmic cycle for years in order to comprehend one another.

Those are awaiting them from this birth system. The only way to mend and comprehend a karmic connection is for one or both of the parties involved to make an effort to comprehend the spiritual foundations of the relationship and to make the choice to break free from the karmic cycle and develop their spirituality. In order to put a stop to a karmic connection, one must improve their strength and broaden their perspective, as well as develop their spirituality and think more deeply about life. When any of the individuals involved in the karmic relationship make the decision to entirely disengage from the connection, whether it be physically or spiritually, the relationship will come to an end.

In order to get a complete understanding of a karmic connection and to cure it, you need to devote a significant amount of time to self-realization or evaluation. Before you decide to go on to the next relationship, you need first look inside yourself to completely grasp the process of the whole connection, which includes the lessons that the relationship has taught you that you need to learn.

The deeper meaning of “Runanubandha” ?

We take birth in a family, we meet friends, we meet parents, we meet many partners, we indulge with them, we create further karmas, and finally, after doing many sins and karmic actions, we fall in a good relationship, or either we feel like marriage is a burden to us, we feel that parents are not listening to us, and we leave our parents and close friends circle and live in isolation to repent those sufferings; the question is, why is it so??. We carry certain karmas and exhaust some of them, and those that we left behind we brought away with us for the next incarnation. This is a concept that is quite plain to understand. What are your thoughts on the fact that this karmic cycle contains a profound mystery?

According to Sri Sri Ravishanakr ji’s explanation of the law of Rnanubandhan, we shall encounter a variety of people during our life. These individuals may take the shape of a mother, a father, siblings, sisters, a spouse, children, and so on. Only because of the unpaid obligations from previous lifetimes that we carry with us, we are able to give birth to a family. According to the mathematical explanation, at the same time that we are establishing accounts, we are also debiting and crediting all of those karmas with those accounts. Because of our indulgence in them, we have accumulated a large number of karmic debts with all of the people with whom we contact. Each and every one of our karmic obligations, also known as Rina, ultimately results in some kind of bondage or attachment, also known as bandhan, with the others with whom we engage in interactions. What it says about karmas, according to the principles of the Bhagavad Geeta, is that all of these karmic attachments will attempt to drag us into the wheel of life, or you might say the karmic or cosmic cycle, again and again, until and until we exhaust them. This is what it says about karmas if we examine thoroughly.
