To answer your question, we have to understand that Karma and human birth are deeply connected concepts in Sanatan Dharma. Karma means "action" and refers to the law of cause and effect: every action, good or bad, creates results that shape our experiences, both in this life and future lives. Good actions (dharma) lead to positive outcomes and a better rebirth, while evil actions result in suffering or less favourable circumstances in the next birth.
About Human Birth
Human birth is seen as one stage in a long cycle called Samsara, the endless round of birth, death, and rebirth. The soul is immortal and takes on new bodies in each life, carrying with it the karma from previous lives. The circumstances of each new birth, such as family, health, and opportunity, are determined by the accumulated karma of past lives. Where the soul is reborn based on past karma, each life offers a chance to grow and balance karma.
The ultimate goal is to break free from this cycle by realising one's true divine nature and achieving salvation, which ends the cycle of rebirth and brings eternal peace and union with the divine. So yes, according to scriptures, a person's destiny, shaped by past karma, is believed to be written on the forehead by divine will before birth, where the soul is reborn based on past karma.
Conclusion
Regularly perform Trisandhya (prayers at dawn, noon, and dusk) and read the Shrimad Bhagwat Mahapuran. This is the only way to safeguard oneself from the coming challenges and fulfil one's spiritual destiny.
