We underwent all medical tests, and the reports were completely normal. However, my wife faced complications during childbirth three times. A recurring thought in my mind was: “I will not give birth to my children on this Earth until I make it a better place.”

If you can take back all prayers, wishes, and curses (shrap), then some of them—whether prayers, curses, or wishes—may also be stopping your growth. Simply set a rule: break all promises and commitments that have become obstacles in your growth.

I personally applied this in my life and got better results.

Just make one promise to yourself: “I will break all promises that hinder my growth in life.”



One day, while randomly reading a page from the Rigveda, I came across a shloka with a meaning similar to this: “I take back all my past and present life sankalps that have become barriers in this life, whether I made them consciously or unconsciously.”

After that, within nine months, we had a healthy child without any complications.

Similarly, if you feel stuck in life and are not getting the desired results in any area, you can take back all your past sankalps. Many people might think it’s not okay to do so, but being stuck in life is not okay either. If you believe that a past vow or promise is acting as a barrier and causing problems, you have the right to revoke it.

If you read about why Sri Krishna was called “Ranchhod” (one who left the battlefield), you will understand that it is completely okay to take back your promises when necessary. However, the key lesson is not to make unnecessary promises for the future.
