Is the time and place of death predefined ?

Some Gurus teach that the time and place of death is predefined and some do not. I personally feel that the life and respirations are predefined and not day and time of death.

It is something like water in a sponge will become empty when every drop of water comes out but it does not matter how much time it takes to come out. It is therefore possible to postpone or prolong the fulfilment of Prarabdha Karma and postpone death.

As per the Karma theory, unless our Prarabdha Karmas (decided at the time of death and birth) are enjoyed and fulfilled, one cannot die. But once the Prarabdha Karmas are fulfilled, death is inevitable.

Another unanswered question is, can Prarabdha karma be modified? The fate or destiny may not change, which means, one may not be able to prolong the quantity of life but can definitely change the quality of life. The quality of life can be changed by modifying Agami (present) Karmas.

Sanchit Karmas can be burnt with the file of knowledge about self. Prarabdha Karmas have to be experienced and Agami Karma can be neutralized by positive and negative Karmas to Zero in the present life.

The last few Prarabdha Karmas experienced can thus be slowed down by the net positive result of their Agami Karmas.
