However, the word &#8216;destiny&#8217; is one of the most misquoted and misunderstood word. It should be understood that, in <em>Vedic<\/em> culture, we <strong>DO<\/strong> <strong>NOT<\/strong> believe that everything in our life is pre-destined or pre-determined.  But we believe that our life is &#8216;governed&#8217; by destiny.  This may appear contradicting but once one understand the meaning of destiny in <em>Vedic<\/em> context.  <strong>Destiny is a dynamic entity<\/strong>. To elaborate, what I face currently is a result of past actions and what I will face in future will depend on my current actions.  So, at every moment, I am creating my future. In other words, my present is the result of my past and my future is the result of past modified in the present.  This is what makes the \u092a\u0941\u0930\u0941\u0937 \u092a\u094d\u0930\u092f\u0924\u094d\u0928 (<em>puru\u1e63a prayatna<\/em>) (self-effort) makes it critical component for the current actions (in the current life) in <em>Vedic<\/em> culture.  Not being able to understand the criticality of self-effort vis-a-vis destiny makes one complacent with unintended consequences not only for himself and his family but also for the society and mankind in general. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, now the follow up question is, does God have the capacity to change our destiny?  Surely he has.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>God being omnipotent and omnipresent, his grace is always available like the light of the Sun.  So, while the destiny is created due to our past actions, \u092c\u0941\u0926\u094d\u0927\u093f (<em>buddhi)<\/em> causes our current actions.  It is only the God&#8217;s grace that will help us make amends to our own future, through our current actions.  This is a concept which requires deeper understanding along with other important concepts like <em>karma-janma siddh\u0101nta<\/em> etc. in the Vedic culture to be able to holistically appreciate the profundity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Credits: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/vishwanadh.com\/?p=3846\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Courtesy<\/a> <em>Brahmachari Ved Chaitanya<\/em> of <em>Chinmaya International Foundation<\/em> (<em>CIF<\/em>)<br \/><strong>Image courtesy:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bhaktiphotos.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Bhaktiphotos<\/a><br \/><strong>P.S.:<\/strong> All errors \/ mistakes are my own<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><!-- wp:image {\"id\":2305,\"scale\":\"cover\",\"sizeSlug\":\"full\",\"linkDestination\":\"none\",\"align\":\"center\"} --><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/vishwanadh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/09\/Trinity_bhaktiphotos.jpg\" alt=\"...\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[26,29],"tags":[14,30,15,27,28],"class_list":["post-2278","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-sanskrit-verses","category-subhashitas","tag-culture","tag-destiny","tag-dharma","tag-sanskrit","tag-subhashitas"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/vishwanadh.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2278"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/vishwanadh.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/vishwanadh.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vishwanadh.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vishwanadh.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2278"}],"version-history":[{"count":35,"href":"https:\/\/vishwanadh.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2278\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4332,"href":"https:\/\/vishwanadh.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2278\/revisions\/4332"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/vishwanadh.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2278"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vishwanadh.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2278"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/vishwanadh.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2278"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
