Scenario Today

Today's world is war struck, and devastated due to occasional frictions between warring countries, and we have just recoiled from the international surgical strikes and nuclear backlashes. War is an international disaster for human lives that are lost in its gory operations. Astrologically it can be explained as the result of the planetary positions. Of course, our karma is the chief culprit that decides if we are to have a war and suffer its consequences.
Our country was a victim to several invaders and it was, from a practical angle, due to the lack of unity in our Kshatriyas who had divided the country into several pieces by constantly waging war between themselves. If they had summoned all their collective energies and fought the war they would have certainly won and kept the enemies at bay. If we see beyond the practical angle, as to what made us lose, despite the warrior like valour that our fighters exhibited, and what made us fall prey to tricky situations that were unforeseen? It is now that we realize the handiwork of an unseen hand above that rules everything using the iron handle of karma.

Paramahamsa Yoganada On Indian Invasions

Paramahamsa yogananda had always opined that the constant invasion of india and the resulting bloodshed and massacre of millions was due to the karma of Indians. It was the sense of pride, superiority complex and discriminating attitude of the higher classes that incurred sin and as a result of this Indians were karmically trapped and were forced to go through a series of invasions by Mughals and Britishers and the karmic consequences continued for many centuries, unabated.

Remedies

So the first thing would be to better our karmic standing. It can be done by amassing good karma. We should not only try on an individual level by rectifying our mistakes and go on a dharmic path, we should also make collective efforts in the zonal, state and national level by building temples for Hanuman, Rama and Shiva. They were the ultimate warriors who knew no defeat. Hence we take them as inspirations. Hanuman is an avatar of Shiva and he is inseparably connected with Rama.
Karmic consequences are difficult to shake off. Mani and mantroushadhis can help. But again, if our destiny can be changed by pariharas, that should first of all be indicated by the planets. If not, parihars do not help. But even then, the remedy would be the stotra and mantras which are capable of wiping out most of the karmas.

Visiting Temples

Hence spirituality has to play a vital role in every aspect of life. Visiting temples is another factor that lets us understand our culture and spirituality at close quarters. Following our ancestors guidance, on the cultural front, we can surely get closer to dharma, culture, and spirituality, This way, we will be more oriented into the path of dharma. We should develop values and principles which are actually considered the first pedestal in spiritual evolution. Our conduct has a lot to say about our spirituality.
The temples were destroyed repeatedly as the spirituality in these places had decayed and this led to destruction of these temples places due to invasions. These places were infested with negative karma due to losing of spiritual awareness and we were entirely responsible for the cultural decay.
Thirdly pujas bring a lot of punya as they can bring down the bad karma in an effective way. There is nothing that can change or modify or mitigate the karma. Only remedy that will effectively reduce it is the stotra and mantra recitations which can bring down the severity of karma to a great extent. This is the reason why maths conduct large scale yagas and homas for general welfare and safety of the citizens of our country.
Unity is power. Collectively chanting mantras act as powerhouses that attract divine help which will benefit the entire region.
Gajendra moksha is a powerful stotra that is meant for seeking divine protection in times of terrible crisis which is hard to get out of. Gajendra moksha offers protection from war and violence. It is a story of an innocent elephant whose legs get stuck inside a crocodiles jaws and the elephant howls for help and prays to Lord Vishnu to save it. Promptly Lord Vishnu appears to save the elephant.
The stotra is rather long and if you find it difficult to chant the entire stotra, you could choose one sloka from this stotra and repeat it for about a lakh times as per sadhana108.com.

Chanting it collectively for 1 crore times, would have the desired result in the war infested places. The entire area where you stay will be rid of karmic punishments.
