Burying and Destroying - A Difference

Burying and destroying : a difference The effect of an upaya lasts only for a year whether it is based on Janma Kundali or  Varsh Phal kundali. Therefore a karak once buried does not mean that the effect has been destroyed for the whole life. But remember burying a karak is also used for strengthening or revitalizing a planet, which is different from destroying a planet. In Lal Kitab burying to strengthen or reenforcing a planet is very frequently used. This burying is done in the place where the  planet is placed. Just to give you an example: If the sun is weak and badly placed in the 7th house; for the 'maali, grahasti and ketu ki mandi haalat ke liye' the book suggests to bury 7 small square pieces of copper in a place where grass grows. This burying is to strengthen the Sun and make it a benefic for the above mentioned areas. Similarly for Sun + merc in the 8th house it is advised to bury a little gur {sun} in a glass  bottle {merc } in the shamshaan or kabristaan. This again is to strengthen strengthen the two planets  placed in the 8th house {shamshaan} and make them benefic. There are quite a few other examples too. But every astrologer has to be careful about destroying the effect by burying. It is a rarely used upaya. Our Guru ji, Pt. Bhooshan Priya ji prefers distancing the effect {immersing in flowing water} rather than destroying it even if it is for a year. If a planet is badly placed in the Janma kundali already and happens to be badly placed in the varsh phal kundali also, in that case destroying the effect may be considered; I said may be.
