Talk:Reducing Bad Karm and Adding Good Karm:Lessening Evil Karm:Yogic Practices

By Vishal Agarwal

The practice of yog and meditation are great purifiers. Even practices preparatory to meditation like prāṇāyāma enable one to destroy some pāpa –

But as a strong gale scatters the clouds accumulated in the sky, so does the practice of prāṇāyāma shatter the pāpa that a brāhmaṇa accumulates by accepting gifts. Atri Saṁhitā 1.142

Through the power of practice of yog, all pāpas are destroyed. Therefore, one should always do virtuous deeds and practice yog diligently. Hārita Smṛti 7.3
