The three Kinds of Karma

Karmas have been classified by Saints into three distinct categories:

  1. Sanchit or the gathered and stored Karmas, going far back into incarnations running into the unknown past.

  2. Pralabdha: Luck, fate or destiny, or that portion out of the Sanchit – store-house – which constitutes a person’s living present, which none can escape howsoever one may wish and try.

  3. Kriyaman: The Karmas which one is free to perform as a free agent in his present earthly span or existence, and thereby make or mar his future.
