I just went to an ayurvedic doctor to have have purification therapy called ' panchakarma'. He asked me so many things about my health and all.

But he insisted so much in the lifes of my parents , not just phisicall health but their actions.

Then he said its because I had their sins in my body because children pay for the parents sins and he had to clean that.

I found it a horrible idea but I remember in the Bible also there is something like that.

Of course we get traumas from our parents but... paying for their sins?

I dont find it a wise view but at the same time I feel indians somehow have ancient true knowledge in their culture.

I just wonder where is this idea coming from or why there is this believe because I feel it may be a missconception of something else.

Like... they say you have to pray before conceiving a baby , in order to atract high souls.

But as Linda says it is not about praying but about feeling in love with the person you have sex with. Then light is there naturally.

If you pray so much but there is no love then its pointless and your true feelings for that person is what will atract darkness or light.

That is one example of a missconception of something real.

..the problem is our karma
carries over into the next
incarnation, leaving us to
earn that clean slate...

..learning to use the energy
from a higher consciousness..
thus not giving energy to
negative lower consciousness...

What we think and believe
is energy to be used wisely
for the good of All. ...

I looked up panchakarma healing and it appears to be yoga and herbs for the most part with a few other things that "parent's karma" doesn't seem to be part of (I only checked information sites, not those selling it).

I also found this on Ayurveda and Karma:

All in all I would be very cautious about this healer. It sounds to me like he's selling indulgences (that is, a shady/dodgy practice the Catholic Church used to do in making people pay money to relieve themselves or their loved ones of sin/punishment).

Though it's convenient for many to list the sins of their parents rather than themselves, which of course allows him to charge more for "cleaning" you of all those who come to him share with him. It sounds to me like his own karma is getting sullied.

People told me already that they had kmowledge 5000 years ago but then it got corruped and then as you say they sell this kind of things like...' you have a cow milk bath and then you are clean from sins'.

Some people is wise in India some others just supersticious, so you have to choose wisely which I didnt do... also the whole place is filled with bitterness somehow, the place where you get that.

Anyway... I payed already. Its a lesson for next time!

As for the idea of karma/sin passed down through the blood...I've had to put up with that. People in a Bible Belt town thought it was okay to treat me and others badly because of it (not that they were particularly loving or Christ-like to people in general). It's also illogical since it's a perpetuating system, if people fall into sin because of the sins of the parents, then that just continues forever...and someone who says they will take that away if you pay them cash should be assumed to be a scammer.

The money made selling Catholic Indulgences is one of the first things that popped into my head. Supposed to help you 'burn off' hell-time you would have to spend in 'Purgatory' after death-- supposedly the between-world where you are 'sent' to pay for your sins?? ..
.. "JESUS paid it ALL"? (if you are a student of bible literature/scriptures)!!!, otherwise it means that his death wasn't 'enough'. *sad*

As far as sins are concerned, EACH person is an individual and called into account for their actions-- thoughts, words, deeds, and intentions.

Sins of the parents??
As a child, you are steeped in their world, their environment, their own culture, their thought-and-behavior habits. Every child unconsciously picks-up habits "taught" to them by the parents, siblings, teachers clergy social-contacts, and media-world (TV, etc). You're a little sponge, and absorbing everything.. learning to be an "acceptable" little human, with the need to "belong" or socially you fail?

At certain points, you learn 'individuation'. You can 'choose' (with your mind/intellect reasoning) behaviors, and learn through direct experience of consequences (shades of good, bad, neutral), feedback (spoken or not).

examples...
In some families, they consider it "okay" to cheat on 'paying your taxes', with short-cutting and making a "deal" that they know is NOT fair to another person.

eg.. Being at an estate-sale. Grieving Widow[er] doesn't know that the bowl they are selling for $1.00 is worth more than $5,000?
.. They "legally" sell it for the $1.00. But, was it "right" to not inform her/him (especially if she is of obvious modest-means, and emotionally overwhelmed and grieving) that this particular bowl is worth MUCH more than what she thinks is the listed value?

eg.. Some people go to a hotel/motel, and TAKE (steal) the towels or bathrobe (even lamps and unfastened items??); pack them into their suitcases when they leave. Maybe the attitude that "everybody does it" and they expect it, would make it "okay" (the norm) to DO that??

eg.. Restaurant. They take items off the table and slip into their bags items that belong to the owners.

Maybe as youngsters, they 'saw' this modeled by the parents/care-takers as being "okay" to do. They continue such behavior when they are adults. Sin (not doing the right thing) "passed down" from the parents.

Maybe as youngsters, they 'saw' and heard racist thoughts and hateful behaviors... and adopted this among their friends, culture?

forget our mistakes, they
are our lessons..
..as for our flaws, those
should be acknowledged, and
