Can karma be changed?

Yes. And honestly, the question has it backwards. Karma means action. It is not fate. It is the opposite of fate. What you do writes who you become. If karma couldn't be changed, the word wouldn't mean anything.

a teaching The tradition explains your stored account with an archer holding three kinds of arrows. Sanchita is the full quiver: everything gathered, waiting. Prarabdha is the arrow already in flight: your body, your starting circumstances, the stuff that already left the bow and cannot be called back. And kriyamana is the arrow in your hand. Right now.

That third arrow is where free will lives, and the tradition is emphatic about it. The circumstances you were born into may be the fruit of old karma; what you do inside those circumstances is free will. And it writes the next chapter. You are never only your past.

The working instruction comes from the Gita: "You have the right to your effort — never to the fruits of your effort." Control what is yours: effort, method, intention. Release what was never yours: the outcome, which hangs on a thousand causes beyond you. And catch the quiet compliment buried in the teaching. A human birth is the precious doorway, because only here can the account be rewritten on purpose.

a resonance You can watch the small version of this tonight, no metaphysics needed. Every choice you repeat cuts a groove. The tradition calls the groove samskara. Habit science calls it the cue-routine-reward loop. Your feed is cutting grooves in you fifteen seconds at a time, and both sides agree on the good news: grooves can be re-cut. The home page walks the whole loop, with sources.

The honest note The life-to-life bookkeeping, the quiver carried between bodies, is a teaching: the tradition's considered claim, not something a lab can weigh. The within-one-life loop? You can test that on yourself this week. The book keeps those two claims separate on purpose. So does this page.
