Is Changing the Genetic Nature acquired by birth possible for us?
A male devotee (Name hidden) asked like this:
(1) Is it possible to change the nature given our horoscope or we should accept that nature?
(2) With our horoscope is it possible to know weather how much sanchit karmas are left?
REPLY:
(1) Definitely possible.
Yes, Changing the Genetic Nature acquired by birth is possible for us.
But, it is conditional.

Using the Power of association, Changing the Genetic Nature acquired by birth is possible.
Narada rishi became a pure devotee of Lord Narayana just by visual association – not even direct association.
He was hearing the discussions and speeches of great rishis and hence he too became a great rishi.
After becoming a great rishi, he then transformed other sinners into pious people by giving his association.
The following is an example:
*
Valmiki was once a thief named Ratnakar
One day, he robbed the sage Narada.
Narada advised him to ask his family if they would share the sinful reactions of his crimes because they are sharing his wealth got thru robbery.

His family refused.
This made Valmiki to realize the truth of his actions.
Narada advised Valmiki to chant as MARA repeatedly.
Valmiki began chanting as “Mara,” which transformed into “Rama.
Ultimately he got transformedn into the sage Valmiki, the author of the Ramayana.
Thus, Narada rishi’s association changed Ratnakar into great rishi Valmiki.

All of us are aware that Srila Prabhupada transformed many sinners and violators into great devotees by giving his association.

I have heard so many devotees telling that they became sincere in devotional practices after getting diksha from their gurus.
Thus, ASSOCIATION can do wonders. It can change even great sinners into great devotees.
At the same time, one should always remember that kaliyuga is materially very powerful to pull us to materialistic life.

So, he should always maintain the satsangha, ie, devotee association.
I told in the beginning that it is conditional. Why?
Yes, unless you maintain the association regularly, material nature will succeed in pulling you back to materialistic life.
So, in this materially powerful kaliyuga, one should maintain association till his last breath.
Then, his CHANGED NATURE will not go back to the previous stage of a materialistic person.
If we stop associating with the devotees and advanced devotees, we may again fall down into the trap of material nature controlled by Mayadevi.
Hope you are clear.
(2) No. Horoscope speaks about 2-3 generations only.
The Sanchit karma is split and distributed for every birth part by part. The karma taken from Sanchit karma basket and allotted to be faced in this birth is called Prarapth karma.
Thus, it is easy to analyse the three previous generations we had.
Who knows? Sanchit karma that is pending may even amount to tons. Unless we clear them thru spiritual means of following Krishna Consciousness seriously, we will be taking hundreds of births again and again.
There may be scriptures to know our pending Sanchit karma, but no such copies are available as far as I know as I have plenty of the publications on astrology.
Hope you are clear.
