When a human takes birth, his or her soul carries the deeds of his previous births (good and bad). In this fashion, his/her soul is burdened with many kinds of outcomes at the time of his or her birth on this earth. If a soul has committed only good and kind deeds in its previous births, then the soul will receive benefits or good outcomes out of life on this earth. On the other hand, if the soul has committed evil deeds in the previous births, the soul will derive negative results or miseries out of life. Hence, the soul is solely responsible for the hardships and happiness it goes through in the present birth. Therefore the goal of an ideal soul should be to avert indulging in bad deeds and commit good deeds. It is believed that the material world is just a delusion, so much so that the mysteries about the previous births are concealed from him or her.
Thus, a human is incapable of identifying the cause for all the sufferings and pleasures he goes through in life. The soul that recognizes the true mysteries of birth and leads a righteous life following the path of virtue in its lifetime will definitely experience all the benefits. The saying goes "As you sow, so you reap". In line with this saying, we can reap a pleasant harvest only if we have sown valuable deeds. The harvest relies on the caliber of the seeds sown on the soil. The law of nature is, along with the deeds of our previous births as the foundation, the Divine God guides this world. "Every action has an equal and opposite reaction" is the truth. If we assume that God is creating good deeds and engaging them into practice in our everyday living, we can evolve all the benefits from life. Three high paths had been recommended for Atonement of sin.
Shanthi Solutions – First Path
The first path says, we ought to discover from discourse (Nadi Astrology) the sufferings in our life, and as a repayment for our wrong deeds, we must perform an appropriate compensating act of compassion in the place of sufferings, which are existing in our life.
For instance, if a human continues to be unmarried for a longer period of time, though he has long attained the marriageable age, in case that person performs a free marriage ritual for an underprivileged couple and do rituals to the Divine feet of God, he will definitely get married sooner and experience contentment in his life.
Shanthi Solutions – Second Path
The second path asserts, if a person builds a temple, installs and inaugurates a Deity and thus nourishes other men with thoughts of virtue, he can get rid of the negative effects of his sins performed in his previous births. For example, if a person remains unmarried due to Sarbathosha (snake thosha), which throws obstacles to attain a marital status, he can build a temple for "Harichandra", conducting a purifying ritual (for the temple) in order to get rid of the effects of the negative deeds of his previous life on him.
By taking up the rectifying steps stated in the palm leaf reading he will most certainly get married, and endure happiness. The second path, which motivates others to undertake the path of virtue and through that helps them to remove the effects of their evil deeds of their previous birth is said to be a tremendous one. Shanthi Kandams educate a human to redeem the sins performed in his previous births and discloses through its Divine secret paths, ways to improve the number of positive deeds to bring about extraordinary reforms in life.
Shanthi Solutions – Third Path
According to the third path all the negative outcomes of sins (of the previous births) can be diminished by degrees by way of earnest articulation of the divine authentic mantras to God and by letting reflections of virtue to cultivate in us people with bogus beliefs who just falsely boast of practicing devotion to God will receive ill outcomes instead of good results if they go by this path.
By taking up the remedial measures some souls achieve the desired outcome within a few days itself, when in fact it endures months or even many years for some other souls to see the relevant outcomes. The potential of the malicious deeds done in the past, the awareness and devotion towards the remedy, and the way of life one leads after conducting the remedy (parikara) are the aspects that decides the amount of time taken for the desired outcome to behold them.
Only those who are bound to practice and conduct the recommended remedial actions with the navigation of the Guru can reap benefits. Others, who do not possess the will power to do these actions, will neither get the ability to understand the sins committed in the previous births nor will they be blessed to get rid of the effects of them by taking up the remedial actions. Remedial activities taking up with the guidance given to us in the recommended manner will definitely bring about privileges in life.
