Here is proof of destroying prārabdha reactions from the Third Canto of
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam [3.33.6]:
“To say nothing of the spiritual advancement of persons who see the Supreme Personality of Godhead face-to-face, even a person born in a family of dog- eaters immediately becomes eligible to perform Vedic sacrifices if he once utters the Holy Name of the Supreme Personality of Godhead or chants about Him, hears about His pastimes, offers Him obeisances or even remembers Him.”
