kramabaddaparyaya by kanji swami
Krama-baddha paryaya (क्रमबद्ध प्रत्यय) is a Jain concept that Kanji Swami discusses in relation to karma and destiny. In Kanji Swami’s view, it refers to a fixed scheme by which actions, causes, and their results unfold in a given substance, space, and time. He presents it as a way to understand how karmic effects arise and matter evolves, and he argues that denying this fixed scheme would undermine certain moral and spiritual foundations. The discussion is tied to the broader Jain debate about karma, purushartha (right effort), and omniscience, and Kanji Swami uses it to explain how inner effort and grasping the true self interact with the unfolding of events. There are differences in how Digambara and Śvetāmbara traditions interpret related ideas, but Kanji Swami’s framework is often presented within his own Kanji Path (Kanji Panth) interpretation, which emphasizes nischaranaya (the ultimate viewpoint) as a way to navigate these questions. For precise passages and wording, the original text and context must be consulted from Kanji Swami’s discourses.
