Prarabdha Karma, the advancable

Prarabdha is the karma phalas (fruits / reward) allotted at the time of birth by the Supreme Lord. Though the events are to be fullfilled within the life span of the individual it is not in sequel, that is the events have no systematic time period. Hence some say that the Prarabdha karma if it is to yield bad results it can be altered to some other time. This can be done by Siddhis and Yogis who have the capacity to for see the Karma phalas. {In this we are not in a position to control it until we have Siddhis and once we have it we are least bothered about it as we know at that time that this is to happen and has to happen.}

To give authenticity to this there is a story in Mahabharatha.

At the time of Rajasuya yajna Yudhishthira selects Duryodhana as in charge to look after the needs of the guests. Duryodhana taking the opportunity hatches the plan to empty the treasury of the Pandavas in the purpose of providing hospitality to guests. Lord Krishna knowing about the plan made by Duryodhana, would like to help Pandavas. Hence He looks into the Prarabdha Karma of Duryodhana and find that due to his past life actions Duryodhana has a period in his life span wherein whatever he spends on the guests will be doubled. Lord Krishna very tactfully see to it that the Prarabdha karma phala is used off at the time of Rajasuya Yajna. Even though Duryodhana spends away more in the name of hospitality to the guests the Pandavas treasury is doubled.
