Three Ways to Karmic Cleansing

Karmic Cleansing- Karma, the beautiful Sanskrit word, denotes the cycle of cause & effect. It means people’s each action will affect them in the future. Thus, it is in your own hands to create good and bad Karmas for you. And this is also in your own hands to get rid of your bad karma.

Further, it is important to get rid of Bad Karmas because they can trap you in the same old patterns, in the same flow of Maya, pulling you toward the same types of circumstances, troubles, and burdens. And your karmic cycle needs a much-needed break.

For that you should practice Karmic cleansing. There are three ways to become unstuck from your bad karma and manifest a fresh reality.

They are-

1. Austerity
2. Helping the needy, and
3. Yajna

The Beauty of Austerity 

When you sacrifice your comfort & luxury and take efforts to make yourself strong, when you win over your laziness, and become courageous, you are appreciated by all. This is because no one likes faintheartedness. It is not a good thing to be coward as it can make you and others get behind in life. Bravery always keeps you ahead.

When you face difficult times in life, deal with challenges and fight them bravely, it gives you inner strength and this inner power makes you win in all situations. It hardly matters how your physique is, if your willpower is strong, you can face any difficulty.

When you become courageous enough to look into the eyes of your fear, then your fear has no option but to go away. Your inner strength makes you brave. That’s why some people practice every day to boost their inner strength and for that they practice ‘austerity’.

It makes you Endure ‘Dualities’

Austerity, therefore, is a way to boost the inner strength of a seeker. It means, summer-winter, praise-insult, loss-profit, or any such duality cannot disturb you. Now you know how to stay balanced in such dualities.  So, enduring dualities is austerity. It boosts your inner strength and when you achieve that you develop leadership quality in yourself.

There are many ways to practice austerity or perseverance in any field. Yet, when you are courageous enough to sacrifice your own happiness & comfort and for that you practice discipline, understand that this is the beginning of your austerity.

Now nothing can stop you from following a pure lifestyle that would boost your inner strength. While following such a lifestyle, when you fulfill your duties & responsibilities despite difficulties, it boosts your inner power. Now no problem can deter you from the right path by moving on which you get rid of your bad karmas.

With the power of austerity, you develop the virtue of patience, inner knowledge, harmony and bravery.

Contribution in noble deeds

Another way of Karmic cleansing is helping the needy through donation. Make a norm in your life that you will take interest in charity works. Whatever you earn, utilize its small part in social works. Make it a habit to take care of the needy, including the elderly, birds, insects, animals, and mother cows.

The cosmos will bring back whatever acts you committed for the good of others. It is also a wonderful way to get rid of karmic bondages.

Invoke the blessings of God through Yajna

A Yajna is a ritual, as per the scriptures, but in a broader sense, it denotes offerings in the holy fire, and worship to invoke various deities for the attainment of blessings and well-being. When you perform Yajna in the presence of Guru it surely helps you in getting rid of Karmic bondages.

So, never think that you trapped in the abyss of your bad karma, rather take steps to cleanse them and get rid of them. You can always give a fresh start to your life through austerity, noble deeds, worships and Yajna.
