Hinduism defines karma as the results of past actions and due to vasanas or latent desires arising from past lifes. Hindus believe in the proccess of reincarnation, or rebirth after death. These rebirths are believed to be due to actions/unfulfilled desires which have not been crystalised.
Therefore, in a nutshell, a major portion of our life is destined by the virtue of our own karmic imprints. It is not a god who gives us this destiny, but we our own selves. Therefore, a natural question arises, can we change our own destiny? Can we change karma? Since it is our own doing, can we do all these?
The answer I believe is both yes and no.
We first need to understand karma. Where is this karma situated? I mean there must be a place where the imprints are stored. So where is this? Well imprints are nothing but a form of frequency waves based on our conciousness. Our conciousness stays the same throughout all our lives, thousands of life. The imprints frequencies changes in every life but is tied/ attached to our conciousness.
So where is it stored? Well, it is all stored in a place called the unconscious mind.
The human mind is divided into 3 parts, i.e. the conscious mind, the subconscious mind and finally the unconscious mind. It is in this unconscious mind that karmic imprints are stored.
A normal human would be operating more than 90% on the conscious mind. Sometimes a bit from the subconscious but rarely in the unconscious except when he/she lapses into a coma.
Therefore, as the karmic imprints are stored in the unconscious, very few of us can really access this secret blueprints of our life. Therefore, to alter karma and to change our destiny it is a science by itself that is known to a very few people.
To access the unconscious, we need to go deep into relaxation and our brain waves have to reach a state called delta state which has a frequency of 0Hz-3Hz. A comma like situation. This is only possible with advanced meditation techniques which are practiced by the ancient sages, i.e. Kriya Yoga or Kundalini Yoga.
Thus the sages were able to alter their karma by being in the delta stage and escape the birth-death cycle of reincarnation and attain moksha (liberation).
I guess for the rest of us, till we learn to be in a meditative state, we all would still be stuck in the cycle of birth and death and be subjected to karmic consequences enforced by the Navagrahas (Planets).
Therefore, I urge all to study and practice the science and art of Yoga/Meditation today. A journey of thousand miles starts with one single step...
Aum.
