Reducing Krma

 In Hinduism, the three commonest ways to reduce karma are:


  1. Karma Yoga (selfless action)
    Performing one’s duties sincerely without attachment to results (nishkāma karma). This prevents new karmic bondage and purifies past karma.
    Bhagavad Gītā 2.47, 3.19
  2. Bhakti (devotion to God)
    Sincere devotion, surrender, prayer, and remembrance of God dissolve accumulated karma through divine grace.
    Bhagavad Gītā 18.66, Bhāgavata Purāṇa
  3. Jñāna (knowledge and realization)
    Realizing the true Self (ātman) through study, reflection, and meditation burns karma at its root by removing ignorance.
    Muṇḍaka Upaniṣad 2.2.8



In short:

Selfless action purifies, devotion dissolves, and knowledge liberates.
