Can doing yoga take away my bad karma? One of our Facebook friends asked this question and received the following replies. Do you have anything to add to this? Ida: I would say it gets you back on the right track because you are getting into good habits and doing things that are healthy for you. Ad when you feel good, you treat others good too! :) Mei: yoga disciplines the mind, yoga settles the mind into a state of natural awareness. when your mind is centered in awareness, you will be more aware of your thoughts and your actions and will be less likely to contribute to more bad karmic a...ctions and thoughts. for taking away of bad karma, that involves very high levels of yogic meditation practice under the guidance of a wise guru. Ruchi: Adding to what Mei Mei stated, It would require a very high level of yogic practice to be in a state of knowing the right action as well. This might have been achieved by a few rare personalities on their own but is mostly achievable only under the guidance of a Guru who is highly/adequately evolved. Ida: I think everyone has negative karma, so it's nothing to be depressed about (not that you are, just speaking in general terms). We're all the same. Just strive to be a better, healthier person, and yoga can certainly pave the way toward it. Niranjan: Yoga helps in reducing the ill effects inherent inthe balance of Sanchita Karma (the balance that you have brought forth from previous existences), softens the blow of Prarabdha Karma (what you are going through right now) and ensures that you do good Agami Karma (what you do now and which will effect you in the future) Bobby: Yoga is a manifestation of karma that builds a road of positism. Divya: can bring your mind/soul under ur control Ritu: by doing yoga ones nerves become calm n thrugh dt d perosn thnkn bcmes clear n postve,n thrugh dis one set t hv oll d positive impact n leave oll d negativity!! Sumit: doin yoga has nothing to do with karmas but yes it makes ur mind clear which leads to good action ( karma) in future Praveena: yoga with eeshwarpranidhan will help.Offer all yogic practice to eeshwar (eeshwar as per sage patanjali).
