PREFACE Astrology is a part of Vedas. Jyotisham Vedanam Chakshuh - i.e. Astrology is the eye of Vedas. You can come to know the past, present and future by Astrology just as you see this world with your simple eyes. There are 242 Shlokas in which the entire Astrology is mentioned. In Rigveda there are 37 Shlokas, in Yajurveda 44 and in Atharvaveda there are 162 Shlokas. These very Shlokas are the base of Astrology. Job of an astrologer is to know the main theme of Astrology. We are bound to reap the fruit of what we sowed in our previous births. God has appointed planets to give results according to our deeds. We shall have to face the results according to the planets concerned positioned in our horoscope at the time of our birth. Even Almighty God has to bear the effects of planets if He becomes incarnate. Parashar Rishi has mentioned the dominance of different planets during each of the nine incarnations of God. According to him, there was dominance of Sun in Rama Avatara, Moon in Krishna Avatara, Mars in Narasimha Avatara, Mercury in Buddha Avatara, Venus in Parashurama Avatara, Saturn in Kashyapa Avatara, Rahu in Varaha Avatara and it was the dominance of Ketu in Matsya Avatara. By Astrology we come to know the result to be given by a planet posited in some constellation or sign. Very often it is asked as to what is the use of astrology? Can the malefic result of planets be glozed? According to me, a man starts from home with an umbrella if he knows that it will rain today. He cannot prevent the rain but he can save himself to some extent with the umbrella. Likewise, we try to lessen the malefic effect of the Mantra, Yantras, gems, worship or Jap if we know by Astrology harmful planets byTantra, that the period ahead is not auspicious. According to astrology there are three kinds of agony: Physical, Financial and spiritual. The man experiences them by his nature. All the nine planets (Navagrahas) are considered to be the controller of all these agonies. Remedies are prescribed to gloze or pacify the evil effects of the planets. One should go for self-searching and try to find whether he had committed some sinful act. May be he did it during hardships in life knowingly or unknowingly. By a deep introspection and analysis of your inner self you will find that Bura Jo Dekhan Main Chala Bura Na Milaya Koy, Jo Dil Khoja Apna Mujhase Bura Na Koy. It is our desires and expectations that cause us distress. The more we expect from

others the more agonies we will have to face. Half of the agonies of a man gets vanished automatically soon after he becomes liberal. Khudi Ko Kar Buland itna Ki Khuda Khud Bande Se Puchhe Ki Batah Teri Raza Kya Hai Different methods of remedies have been mentioned in this book. I hope, the book will prove to be useful for the students of Astrology and the astrologers in practice as well. I was inspired by Shri Arun Kumar Bansal, Chairman, All India Federation of Astrologers' Societies and Dr. S.C. Kursija, the secretary of the same to write this book. I am thankful to both of them. -TilakRaj

1. Introduction Learned astrologers prescribe various remedies to curb evil effects of planets. Some advise to wear gems while others prescribe mantras. There are scholars who stress on Yantra-pooja or wearing Rudraksha. Some of them go for propitiating planets or for that matter tantrik remedies. There can obviously be differences among astrologers as to which remedy is best and quickest for a particular native. I cite here one anecdote of such difference amongst Rishis. King Parikshit got to know that his death is imminent on seventh day by snake-bite. So he estranged himself from his kingdom and wealth and straight away went to the holy Ganges. There he sought advice from various Rishis regarding ways to Moksha eternal freedom from vicious cycle of life and death. One of the Rishis came with a prompt reply, - "O king ! Holy dips at holy places are very much fruitful. So you go for that. Another Rishi said -" You sit for a Yajna instead. It will wash away all your sins. The third one said, - "You better donate wealth to Brahmins as that's the best kept religion. Then came the fourth Rishi who held, -"As worship and chanting (of mantras) for Gods washed away all your sins, so that is advisable". Thus all the Rishis, one after another, came with their views but none of them was thoroughly convincing. So lastly, king Parikshit, with his folded hands, spoke his mind, - "O learned sages, all of you came with great suggestions, but all of them are time consuming and my days are numbered on this planet. Therefore, I request you all to advise a remedy that can be accomplished within the stipulated time of seven days." While the discussions were going on, there came 15 year old Param Hans Shukdevji Maharaj - inspired by none other than great sage Narad. Every one present there, got up in his respect. They offered Shukdevji the highest seat. There only the latter's grandfather Parashar ji announced, — "Shukdev ji is the most junior in age whereas, he is at the top in knowledge. He will make you absolutely clear which deed is the most advisable to get rid of the vicious cycle of life and death. I am sure you will attain Moksha that way." Thus on request of Parikshit, said Shukdev ji - "O' King! These, whose days are numbered on this earth must listen to Krishna Kathas and memorise the same. That is the best way to cross over this 'Bhavasagar'. So now I will recite "Shirmadbhagvat Mahapurana" for you. It is the greatest of all Puranas and which I have learnt from my father Shree Veda Vyas ji. I will read these Krishna Kathas for you in coming 7 days. You will have 'Punya' of listening to all Puranas by this one. Therefore, one should take it as the essence of all the Vedas. Merely listening to this Katha, one gets absorbed in Remedies of Astrological Science

1

worship of lord Krishna and gets across Bhavasagar easily". I have cited this instance to prove that though all the remedies bear fruit, but the one adapted according to the situation is the best. However, I have left this for learned astrologers. At this unripe age, with not much experience I have tried to write this book. Hope the book finds your appreciation. As you all know, all the remedies can't be in the scope of this book. So I have focussed on simple ones -for understanding of general mass. Besides, I solicit advice of learned scholars on my address. Seeking Remedies: For Whom? How to know the planet is inauspicious for a native? You can know this by analysing horoscope of a native. In case there is no horoscope. I take down certain simple rules 1 to ascertain which planet has put the native in trouble. The ailments and worries caused by Navagrahas are listed below: Sun: Strained relation with father, trouble from the government, problem in government job, headache, diseases of eyes, heart, skin, bones, jaundice, fever, tuberculosis, mental weakness, etc. Moon: Strained relation with mother, mental tension, insomnia, asthma, respiratory problem, cough and cold, urinary troubles, menstrual problems, stones of gall bladder, pneumonia, etc. Mars: Excess aggression, troubled relation with brothers, accidents, blood impurities, leprosy, skin-eruptions, high blood pressure, piles, small pox, plague, etc. Mercury: Trouble in education, aggressive speaking, strained relation with maternal uncle, loss of memory, epilepsy, nose and throat problems, religious passion, loss of wisdom and business, suspiciousness, fickle mindedness. Jupiter: Disenchantment with worship, loss of faith in Gods, Gurus, and Brahmins, fall in income and expense of wealth cumulated, delay in marriage and child birth, epileptic fits, stomach disorder, ear-problem, arthritis, constipation, insomnia, etc. Venus: Hindrance in conjugal life, dejection in love, vehicle-problem, disenchantment with make-up, impotency, hernia, diabetes, semen problem, urinary problem, problem in womb, etc. Saturn: Trouble with servants and in service, gastric trouble, paralysis, trouble in spinal cord, fear of evil spirits, small pox, leprosy, epilepsy, impotency, ailment in feet, etc.

Rahu: Strained relation with grandfather, ego problem, skins and brain disease, ghost phobia, etc. Ketu: Strained relation with maternal grandfather, trouble inflicted by witchcraft, contagious diseases, impurity of blood, pain, small pox, cholera, etc. Once the troublesome planet is ascertained, remedies can be pondered over. First, note the following points if remedies are to be prescribed according to horoscope: 1.

Positioning of Kendra and trine.

2.

Which planets are combust and retrograde?

3.

Which planets are posited in enemy quarters?

4.

What is the position of Yogakaraka planet?

5.

Which planets are debilitated and which are exalted?

6.

What is the inter-relationship between the lords of major and sub periods?

7.

Which house is more troubled?

8.

Which planet is more distressed?

9.

Which Yogas are significant in the horoscope?

10. What is the position of the house, lord of the house and Karakof the house under consideration? 11. See whether the lords of Mahadasha and Antardasha are Yogakarak, obstructing, or fatal for the horoscope. 12. What is the position of planets in different groups? Only after contemplating the above points, it is ascertained which planet needs t© be propitiated. What remedies should be prescribed? Make a fair guess of the behaviour of the native through positioning of Moon and Lagna in his horoscope. Advise him remedies accordingly. If his Moon, Jupiter and ninth house are disturbed he will not follow the worship even after your suggestion. It is then better to advise him gems orTantrik remedies. Thus, position of a planet in sign decides the effective remedy. If the planet is in a fiery Remedies of Astrological Science

sign then Yajna, fasting, etc. work. But if it is in an earthy one then gems, Yantra, metals are effective whereas if the planet is in an airy sign then chanting of mantras will work lastly, if the planet is in a watery sign then medicinal - bath and offering of objects in water does wonders. Note that in case of a weak yogakaraka planet, remedies by gems, Yantra and metals should be prescribed. Inauspicious and fatal planets must be propitiated by worship, donation by offering planet-objects to water. Verdict of Lai Kitab Remedies mentioned in Lai Kitab have their own importance. But here, we are not going to discuss them in detail as their laws don't conform to principles envisaged by Parashar. Yet salient features of the Lai Kitab deserve a mention here. According to the Lai Kitab, all planets can't be propitiated by their own remedies. For some of them, help of other planets is sought. Remedies of Lai Kitab are prescribed in conjunction with nature and practical science. Some simple and practical remedies are related with planets as well. Some remedies to reduce the evil effects of various planets. Sun Respect your father. Worship Lord Vishnu. Donate wheat, jaggery and copper. Develop a good character. Offer copper coins in flowing water. Don't accept bribe. Moon Obey your mother. Worship Lord Shiva. Donate silver, rice and milk. Take a dip in the Ganges. Mars Serve your brother. Worship lord Hanuman. 4


Offer lentils (pulse) to a flowing water. Wear pure silver on your body. Mercury Get blessings of own sisters, and sisters of mother and father. Offer copper coin with hole in a flowing water. Worship Goddess Durga. Jupiter Worship your Gurus and Brahmins. Donate religious books. Venus Respect ladies. Worship Goddess Laxmi. Donate a cow. Saturn Don't take meat and wine. Keep your servants happy. Worship Bhairon. Rahu Worship Goddess Saraswati. Keep electric - appliances in running condition at your home. Ketu Worship Lord Ganesh. Keep a black-white dog at your home. In Lai Kitab, remedies of each planet have been prescribed as per their house. Detailed description of which is not given here. • Remedies of Astrological Science

2. Worshipping the Planets On auspicious occasions and festivals Navagrahas are duly worshipped and to propitiate all the planets following Sholaka is recited. Om Brahma Muraristripurantakari Bhanu Shashi Bhoomi Suto Bhudasch. Gurusch Shukrah Sani Rahu Ketawah Sarve Grahah Shantikara Bhavantu. It means- O' lord, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesha, The Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu! Please bless us with peace and welfare. As a matter of fact, Navagrahas leave their impact on every human being according to his/her time of birth and Zodiac, signs at that time. Some planets cast good while some others cast bad effects on the native. To ward off evil effects of a particular planet, it is worshipped. Worship, Yajna and donation pacifies the planet and thus the native gets good results and evil days go off simultaneously. Worshipping the planets and chanting the appropriate mantras are quite helpful. In continuation, one should perform havana of dasamsa; dashamsha tarpan of havana, dashamsha marjan of tarpan and dashamsha brahman bhojan of marjan. All these must be performed under the able guidance of a Brahmin scholar to have desired result without fail. Procedure of worshipping the Navagrahas: At first, arrange all the things essential for the worship of Navagrahas. One shouldn't get up to get things once the worship begins. The native who is to worship the Navagrahas, should leave his bed meditating his own God-Goddess. He must then ease himself off and take a bath. He must sprinkle the water of Ganga in his water for bath. While performing the pooja the native should sit facing east where the priest must face north. Both must sit cross legged. Once again the native should sprinkle the water of Ganga on himself contemplating his 'Est Deva'. He should chant the following mantra simultaneously in order to purify himself. Om Apavitrah Pavitro Va Sarvavastha Gatopi Va. Yah Smaret Pundarikaksham Sa Bahyamyantrah Shuchih. Abstract: O Lord of this Universe, Jagdishwar! We make ourselves sacred by 6


contemplating you. After this, the following steps are performed while chanting various mantras. 1.

Aasan (seat) should be purified by sprinkling water on it.

2.

In various provinces sacred thread is changed during the worship of Navagrahas. The native in that case wears a new sacred thread.

3.

If wife and husband sit together, the priest should tie them with their clothes.

4.

Now sip water thrice from your right hand and chant the mantras all the while: Om Keshavaya Namah, Om Narayanaya Namah Om Madhavaya Namah

5.

Once you have done the ablution you should purify your head with this mantra: Om Hrishikeshaya Namah

6.

Light up a Deep of ghee.

7.

Now take a Sankalp for Navagraha Pujan and pray - O, light like lord, kindle good ideas in my self. O lords - the Sun, Varuna, Indra, Brihaspati and Vishnu! kindly bless us and ensure our welfare.

8.

You can nowstart worship of Navagrahas - obviously with sankalp.

9.

First of all Lord Ganesh is invoked and his worship is performed.

10. Once you are through with the worship of Ganesh go for the worship of all the planets according to the scriptures. Worshipping the Sun Of the Navagrahas, the Sun is at the top. He bestows energy on one and all. Those desirous of his worship should do so on any Sunday - but after worshipping lord Ganesh. After Sthapana of the Sun, his worship should be accomplished according to Ganesha pujan. In the course of worship one should meditate about the Sun and chant his mantras and beeja-mantras. The worshipper must recite Surya Gayatri mantra, Sri Aditya Hridaya Stotra and Surya Dwadash Naam stotra. After all these, the native should donate some wheat, jaggery, copper, clothes, ruby and red piece of cloth according to his capacity. As per the scriptures lord Vishnu too


should be worshipped along with the Sun. Note that Sunday is the day of worship for the Sun and fast in his name. But this fast i.e. Ravivariya Vrata should commence on first Sunday of Shukla Paksha of Jyestha and be continued on 12 Sundays or till the wish is fulfilled. The worshipper should have wheat bread (rotis) along with jaggery or sugar before sun-set. He should not eat salt. Worship of Lord Moon Moon is nearest to the Earth. It has a great impact on our body and psyche. To start worship of Moon, take some white flowers in your folded hands and meditate that 'Kshir-saagar-born lord moon, along with Rohini come and accept my offering and Bless me with well-being'. Later on, perform worship according to that of Lord Ganesha. Chanting and reciting mantras of Moon, his beej-mantra, Soma - Gayatri and ChandraKavach stotras are must. On Mondays, one should keep fast after the worship. One should donate silver, pearl, white clothes, camphor, ghee, rice and a pot full of water. Monday fast should commence on first Monday of Shukla Paksha of Jyestha or Shravan month.' Those who keep fast on four Mondays in the month of Shravana get benefits of 16 mondays' fast. Monday fast is kept in three ways: 1. On each Monday, 2. Somya Pradosha Vrata, and 3.16 Monday-fasts. On this day one should listen to Katha after worship of Lord Shiva. Remember to take your meal once in the course of day and night. Worship of Mars Mars is also known as Bhoomi-Putra i.e. son of the earth. Devotion towards Mars and latter's worship, fast, etc. help us achieve conjugal bliss and a peaceful life. Worshipping Lord Hanuman too helps in pacifying Mars. To worship Mars, invoke him with red flowers in your folded hands and recite. O Lord! Descend here and drive away all our miseries. After this perform his worship as you did for lord Ganesh and then chant and recite mantras of Mars, beej-mantra, Bhoum-Gayatri and Mangal-Kavach. Keep fast on Tuesdays and donate red clothes, copper, lentils (pulse), coral and gold as per your capacity. Fast on Tuesday should be observed with one meal of wheat and jaggery products only. This fast should be kept at least 21 times. On Tuesdays Lord Hanuman should also be worshipped. Worship of Mercury Situated closest to the Sun, planet Budha leaves impact on individuality, learning, sense of humour, and voice of a person. Invoke planet Mercury with green flower in


your folded hands and pray - "O Lord! Come and rid me off my miseries." Now worship him as you worshipped Lord Ganesha. Recite mantras of Mercury and also perform japa, Budha gayatri and Budha Kavach. Observe fast on Wednesdays and donate green-clothes, emerald, bronze-vessels, gold, etc. Fast on Wednesdays should start on first Wednesday of Shukka-Paksha of Jyestha. It must be carried on to at least 21 Wednesdays. Make sure you do have only one meal the whole day. Worship of Jupiter Jupiter is best known as the guru of the deities and a scholar of jurisprudence and Vedas. His worship should commence only on a Thursday of any Shukla Paksha. The girls desirous of marriage, whose marriage gets delayed or who face obstacles, must perform worship of lord Jupiter. To perform his worship one should keep yellow flowers in ones folded hands and then pray- 'O lord Jupiter! Kindly take your seat here and accept our Pooja'. Then, perform worship as you did in case of Ganesh. Then start reciting mantras (of Jupiter), beej-mantra, Brihaspati-gayatri, and Brihaspati-Stotra. At the end of worship donate yellow clothes, grams (pulse), topaz and gold. Observe fast on Thursdays. One should start this fast on first Thursday of Shukla-Paksha and do it at least 16 times or till wish gets fulfilled. Use yellow objects on this day. Banana tree is also worshipped on this day. On days of fast, meal must be without salt. Grambased meal is advised. Worship of Venus Planet Venus is related to Shukracharya - guru of monsters. With white flowers in your folded hands, invoke lord Venus and pray - "O lord Venus! You are the scholar of all Shastras. Please do come, take a seat and rid us off our troubles". Now commence worship as you did for lord Ganesh and then start chanting mantras, beej-mantra, Shukra-Gayatri, Shukra-Stotra, and Shukra Kavach. Thereafter, donate white clothes, rice, ghee, incensed-objects and cow. Observe fast on Fridays. This fast too should start on first Friday of Shukla Paksha and should be observed on 21 coming Fridays. On this day put on white clothes; offer pudding (made of milk-sugar-rice) to the lord and have it yourself thereafter. Worship of lord Saturn Lord Saturn, son of the Sun, is a big-eyed and over-sized god. Sadhesati of lord Saturn casts its impact on everyone's life. Worshipping and fasting for him should be done on Saturdays. During his worship take some blackish flower in your folded hands


and then pray - "O lord Saturn! Do take a seat and rid us off our troubles". Now perform the worship the way you did for lord Ganesha and keep on chanting mantras (of Saturn), beej mantra, Shani Gayatri and Shani Kavach etc. Thereafter, according to your capacity, donate black sesame, black clothes, horse bean (Urad), oil, and gold. Lord Saturn is worshipped on this fast and so donate the items mentioned above as they are his favourite. In the night take Khichari of black horse bean (Urad). Offer the same to others as well. This fast too should commence on first Saturday of Shukla-Paksha and continue the same on coming 21 Saturdays. Worship of Rahu At the time of Samudra - manthan (churning of the ocean) even Rahu tasted some nectar along with other gods. He, too is being offered his share in Pooja from that time only. Worshipping Rahu on Saturdays bears auspicious fruit. With blue flower in folded hands Rahu is invoked - "O lord Almighty Rahu! Do appear and take your seat and free us from all our worries." Now perform his Pooja as you did in care of Lord Ganesha and then chant mantras (of Rahu), beej-mantra, Rahu-Stotra, and Rahu-Kavach. Lastly, donate oil, gold, gomed, and black clothes as per your capacity. Worship of Ketu Rahu and Ketu are called shadowy planets. Planet Ketu is offered Pooja on Tuesday. Worshipping Rahu gives result as one gets in case of Saturday fast whereas Ketu bears fruit like a fast on Tuesday. Start worshipping Ketu with some flowers in folded hands by invoking him - "O headless, aggressive- looking God! We invoke you here. Please do take your seat and put an end to our miseries." Now perform Pooja as you did in case of lord Ganesh and then chant mantras (of (Ketu), Beej-mantra, KetuStotra, and Ketu Kavach. Later on donate blanket, Kasturi (musk), sesame oil and gold according to your capacity. After performing Pooja of all the planets, they are individually given a warm send off (Visarjan). We should apologise to them that if there was any mistake in course of Pooja, Awahan, chanting of mantras and Visarjan, they all should forgive us and finally put an end to all of our miseries. Make it a point to invite guidance of a qualified Brahmin to complete the affair. •

3. Yantras of the Planets Every of the planets and deities are worshipped with Yantras also. Yantras are prepared in such a way that power of the deities concerned is permeated in them. In this age of Kaliyug, everybody wants to achieve every thing by Yantras so that he might earn more profit in less time. Yantras act something like an armour for the mankind. There is no importance of Yantras if they are not prepared and consecrated properly. Yantras are prepared on a sheet of paper or the bark of the tree birch or on a copper, gold or silver plate. Yantras give miraculous results if they are consecrated by an able person. Mantras are used in preparing and charging Yantras. Power of Yantras gets multiplied by Mantra. Accuracy of constellations, dates (Tithis) and combinations (Yogas) should be kept in to consideration while preparing and charging Yantras. Now the question arises that as to which Yantra a native should worship? He should propitiate the fatal or obstructing planet posited in his horoscope by Yantra. The native might be saved from the malefic effect of a planet in its Vimshottori Dasha or Antardasha or Pratyantardasha if he worships the Yantra of the planet concerned by consecrating it. A consecrated Yantra is like a machine in order. So, it is advised to use it very carefully and only for one's own welfare. One, who consecrates a Yantra, should have courage, patience, tolerance and wisdom in abundance. Surya Yantra This Yantra is worshipped to ward off the agonies caused by the Sun. In our country, it is in vogue to cast the Panchadashi Surya Yantra on safe vault on the day of Deepawali right from the ancient times. On it, digits from 1 to 9 are written in such a way that if added, they make 15 from every side. It has been mentioned in the scriptures as to which digit should be written where in Yantras of nine squares. According to Garga and other Rishis like him, one can be free from ailments if he worships these Yantras. Surya Yantra

Very often it is asked as to how does the evil effect of planets get glozed by reciting Mantras? By chanting Mantras of a planet we bow with respect to the lord of that particular planet and propitiate Him so that He might shower His benediction on the mankind. We awaken and propitiate the planets by Mantras just as a man talks to us if we contact him on a mobile phone by dialing his number. This must be noted that propitiating the Gods and Goddesses never goes in vain, sooner or later it gives result. Jap and worship of a planet is a very effective measure to propitiate Him. Effect of the Jap of the Mantra of a planet gets multiplied if it is performed before a Yantra. Jap of Om Namah Shivay proves to be very much effective if it is performed on a Rudraksha rosary. Likewise, Lakshmiji becomes propitiated if the Lakshmi Pooja and Mantra Jap is performed on a Kamalgatta rosary. Jap of Lord Vishnu is performed on a Tulasi rosary. While performing Jap, one should have control over ethos or conduct, contemplation and behaviour. Yantras are activated by Mantras and the power of Mantras gets multiplied if the Jap is performed before activated Yantras.

5. Gems of Planets Gems should be selected very carefully. Gems are not only meant for adornment but they also bear celestial power in them. They bear unique capability to make the human life prosperous. Some people want to wear gems according to the signs of their names, which is wrong. It is wise to wear gems after getting the horoscope analysed. There is a common concept that a trine in a horoscope is always auspicious. It means that the native can wear the gems of the lords of Lagna, fifth and ninth houses. But there is no need to wear all the three gems. There is no need to wear the gem if any of the planets concerned is in a exalted sign or in its own sign since it is already strong. Gems are worn to increase the power of the planets. It is advised to wear the gem of a benef ic planet if it is combust or weak. It will help increase the influence of that planet so that it may give auspicious consequences. One should wear the gem of the lord of Ascendant if the Ascendant is weak or its lord is combust. This will keep him healthy. The gem of the lord of fifth house is prescribed for man if it is weak. A man may make his lady luck smile if by wearing the gem of the lord of ninth house if it is weak or combust in his horoscope. The gem of the lord of Ascendant is called Jeevan Ratna, of the lord of fifth house Karaka Ratna and of the lord of ninth house it is called Bhagya Ratna. The gem of the lord of trine is not advised to wear if it is debilitated. The gems of the lords of second and twelfth houses should also be not worn. Gems are also useful in getting some diseases cured. In no case a person should wear the gem of an obstructing, debilitated or inauspicious planet. It should also be kept in mind which gem is prohibited from being worn with some other particular gem. Weight of a gem should be determined according to age and weight of a person as well as the position of the planet concerned in his horoscope. What should be the weight of the gem prescribed for a person? There is no specific method to prescribe the weight of a gem. However, some prevailing (customary) methods are given here under: Weight according to the weight of the native: A gem must be at least of 3 Rattis. But according to most of the scholars the weight should be prescribed according to the weight of the native and that is 1 Ratti for 10 kilos. So, a person of 60 kilos should wear a gem of 6 Rattis. 20


Weight according to the age of the native: Gems of less weight are prescribed to children whereas adults are advised to wear gems of much weight. Yogakaraka, malefic and fatal planets according to ascendant Ascendant

Relation between a gem and a finger In Palmistry it has been mentioned that every finger is associated with a planet or planets. Our hands and their fingers are a part of the most sensitive TANTRA of planets and the signs of zodiac. Rays produced by planets transmit to our body through different fingers. Gems are used to increase the power of the rays of planets. Gems are able to ward off several diseases and are used as an alternative medicine. Barring diamond, all the gems should be worn in a way that they touch the fingers so that their rays might be transmitted to our body. A table of the gems useful in the treatment of different diseases is given below: Gems

If worn, it lessens the power of the lord of Ascendant. If required a friendly gem of the lord of Ascendant can be worn. Rise and combustion of planets in horoscope should be kept into consideration. Gem of a combust planet enhances its power. Gems should be worn after analysing the major and sub periods of the planets concerned. Aspects of the planets should be observed. Gems of the planets having benefic aspects give favourable results. Points such as exaltation, debilitation and friendly and inimical quarters should be analysed in the horoscope before wearing the gem of a planet. A gem worn by a man on a finger concerned of his left hand will prove to be fruitful for his wife. On the contrary, gem worn by his wife on a concerned finger of her right hand will prove to be favourable for him. A gem must be worn only on the finger concerned. Only the best piece of a gem should be selected. •

6. Tantra Tantra is an invincible power of lord Shiva. Lord puts a man to ordeal by fire when he starts devoting himself to the lord. All the eight supernatural powers (Anima, Mahima, Garima, Laghima, Prapti, Prakamya, Ishita and Vashita) and nine treasures (Padma, Mahapadma, Shankha, Makar, Kachchhapa, Mukunda, Kunda, Neela and Kharva) keep standing at his door as if they all are his slave. But a man, having unstable faith, becomes deviated from his path soon after he gets any of the said Siddhis and by that Siddhi he starts mesmerising the people. Those who want to get their job accomplished without performing ritual rites and labour, adopt the path of Tantra. Some articles to be used in Tantra are described here under. Jer of a cat: It is a very rare thing. A cat abandons a kind of pouch after giving birth to its child. This is called the Jer, and the cat wants to eat it up. The sphere of trade and wealth of a businessman gets enhanced if he keeps it in his safe vault. Hattha Jori: It is found in the root of a particular plant. It looks like two hands joined with each other. A person having this article possesses the art of hypnotising. The man remains safe and the sphere of his wealth enhances so long this is with him. It saves him from evil spirits. Siyar Singi: Some times knob like thing is found on the head of a jackal having hair on it. Tantriks keep it with them and it helps them in Tantrik rites. Atantrik having this article with him comes to know the distress well ahead of time. Wherever he goes the situation turns favourable to him. It enhances the art of hypnotising and the sphere of wealth and prosperity of a man who keeps it with him. It also saves him from evil spirits. One can save himself from unwanted loss, accident etc., and can be free from bondages if he keeps and consecrate these Trishakti of Jer, Siyar Singi and Hattha Jori. These three things save him from evil spirits. Even tantrik rites cast by others do not influence him.

Ekakshi Coconut: There are three points found on the top of a coconut. It is said that one of the three points symbolises mouth and the other two symbolise two eyes. But coconuts having only one eye or point are also found. A coconut having only one eye is called Ekakshi coconut. This is very rare. This coconut is said to be holy and gives prosperity, it is also said that a man can be free from his afflictions and can have material affuence if he worships goddess Lakshmi with this coconut on the occasion of Dhanateras and Deepawali. Dakshinavart Shankha: Most of the Shankhas have their mouth left - ward. But some Shankhas have their mouth to their right and that is why they are called Dakshinavarti. There prevails happiness and prosperity in the family of a person who worships Goddess with this Shankha on the occasion of Deepawali. Both lord Vishnu and Goddess Lakshmi shower their benediction on the person if he keeps it in Poojasthala. Gorochana: It has a miraculous power to enchant. Gorochana is also used to ward off the effects of evil spirits. Tantra practitioners pay much respect to this article. Indrajal: This is a sea-plant. If kept in a house, it saves from the influence of evil spirits. No dispute takes place between wife and husband. The sphere of wealth and prosperity in the family gets enhanced. Black horseshoe: A U-shaped black horseshoe saves the house or office of a person from the influence of evil spirits if it is hanged at the main gate. The 'shoe' should be hanged on a Tuesday in morning or on a Saturday evening. Ring of black horseshoe: A ring of black horseshoe is prescribed to save oneself from evil effect of Saturn and to enhance its benefic effects. The ring should be worn on a Saturday on the middle finger. Pyramid: It is used to meditate in any spiritual exercise. It accumulates wind in it as it is hollow from within. As a result, the things kept under a pyramid remain protected for long. Pyramids of metal and stone are used to have one's desires fulfilled. In Tantrika exercises, Pyramids of copper, brass and Panchadhatu give better results. Iron and aluminum pyramids are not allowed in worship. Pyramids are also used to ward off the different faults in Vastu. These are kept in a direction to strengthen it. Wooden pyramids are also said to be very effective.

7. Rudraksha The image of lord Shiva appears before our eyes seeing a Rudraksha. Rudraksha originated from the tears dropped from the eyes of lord Shiva. He opened his eyes after he finished His Tapa he was on for thousands of thousands of years. A rosary of Rudraksha saves a person from many diseases. There are one to twenty one lines drawn on the beads on a Rudraksha. These lines are called the faces of a Rudraksha. An Ekamukhi Rudraksha is very rare. Generally five and six faceted Rudrakshas are found. A rosary too is made of five faceted Rudrakshas. Others are worn alone. Rudrakshas give results according to their faces.

8. Sarhesati of Saturn and its remedies Transit of Saturn is seen from the Janma Rashi of native to know its Sarhesati. Sarhe sati of Saturn starts when Saturn falls in the twelfth house from Janma Rashi while in transit. Saturn stays on a Sign for about two and a half years. It remains for two and a half years on twelfth house, Janma Rashi and second house from Moon sign respectively. These seven and a half years are called Sarhesati. What result will Saturn give to a native in its Sarhesati? A table in this regard is given below: Results on the basis of Dhaiya of Saturn: Chandra Rashi

39

difference, if any, between the benefic and malefic positions of the planets in Panchadha Maitri. It is advised to know the nature of Saturn before going for the remedies of Sarhesati. Saturn is a cruel planet. Its Sarhesati puts its influence on the life of every one. Capricorn and Aquarius are the signs of Saturn. The benefic influence of Saturn reduces when its Sarhesati starts in the life of people of these signs. Saturn does not prove to be much malefic if it is benefic and Yogakark in the horoscope of a person. But its inauspiciousness enhances if it is obstructing, fatal or malefic. Saturn enhances the influence of the houses it is posited in and reduces the influence of the houses it aspects with its third, seventh and tenth viewing. Dispute, enmity, imprisonment, chronic disease, failure, hurdles, bitterness, frustration etc. are also considered by it. People under the influence of Saturn happen to be suspicious by disposition,, clever and cunning and do not expose what they have in their mind. They are sombre by nature. They possess fine imaginative faculty and they happen to be planners of big trades. They are thrifty, tolerant and they love independence. They also happen to be inventors, solitude loving and interested in Astronomy and Chemistry. They love honour. Problem in feet, accident, impotence, windy diseases, diseases in the back-bone, cancer, leprosy and obstructions caused by evil spirits are caused by Saturn. Cobbler, blacksmith, carpenter, mechanic, coal dealer, driver, oil dealer, judge etc. are the subjects of Saturn. Saturn is exalted in Libra and debilitated in Aries. Venus and Mercury are its friends whereas Sun, Moon and Mars are enemies. Jupiter is even (neutral) for Saturn. Saturn is the son of Sun but thinks him to be his enemy. People, who eat uneatable, who have illicit relations with the women other than their wife, do not like working hard, keep involved in illicit behaviour and do not perform religious rites suffer much in the period or Sarhesati of Saturn. Dukha Mein Sumiran Sab Kare Sukha Mein Kare Na Koy Jo Sukha Mein Sumiran Kare To Dukha Kahe Ko Hoy To be free from agonies and afflictions, a man has to make oblations and to perform religious activities, Jap-Tap etc. He also has to have the help of gems. Following remedies can be helpful to pacify the malefic influence of Sarhesati of Saturn; 1. Worshipping Saturn 2. Jap of Shani-Mantra

40


3. Worshipping Shani-Yantra 4. Worshipping the Shree Graha Peeda Nivark Shani-Yantra 5. Sapphire or an iron ring should be put on in case Saturn is Yogakarak 6. Rudraksha should be worn 7.

9. Remedies of Kala Sarpa It is Kala Sarpa Yoga when all the planets come to the one side of Rahu and Ketu. It is Poorna Kala Sarpa Yoga when all the planets are in between Rahu and Ketu and there is no house lying vacant. It is Anshik Kala Sarpa Yoga when any of the planets is free from Rahu and Ketu. Planets in between Rahu and Ketu are unable to give their complete result - thus making the native a puppet in the hands of fate. He cannot get the better result of his deeds. He has to reap what he had sown in his previous birth and the following five types of misfortune keep him under their influence: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

He cannot get the absolute results of his labour or results are delayed. Delay in marriage and tension in married life. Delay in birth of a child and no help from children. Physical and mental weakness. Untimely death or agony at the time of death.

In fact, Rahu and Ketu are called shadowy planets. Lord Vishnu beheaded Rahu with his Sudarshan Chakra since he had taken nectar at the time of Samudra Manthan (churning of the ocean). But by consuming nector, he had become Amar (immortal). The head of beheaded Rahu is called Rahu and the trunk is called Ketu. The Janma Nakshatra of Rahu is Bharani and that of Ketu it is Ashlesha. Kala is the deity of Bharani, the Janma Nakshatra of Rahu and Sarpa is of Ashlesha, the Janma Nakshatra of Ketu. This is why the Yoga created by the deities of Rahu and Ketu is called Kala Sarpa Yoga. The influence of Kala Sarpa Yoga gets enhanced whenever a native, having this Yoga, falls in its major or sub period. In transit, transit of Rahu and Ketu transiting over Janmakalik Rahu-Ketu and Moon also makes this Yoga active. There are twelve kinds of Kala Sarpa Yoga according to the positions of Rahu in twelve houses. These are as under: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 42

On this basis there are 144 Kala Sarp Yogas. Remedies of each Kala Sarp Yoga should be different from others.

Worship lord Krishna and perform Jap of Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya daily for 108 times. Recite Nava Nag Stotra. Offer water to Shivaling and worship Lord Shiva. Keep fast on sixteen Mondays. Worship snakes and offer them milk to drink. Worship Nag on the occasion of Nag Panchami. Consecrate lord Mahadeva for 30 days in the month of Shravana. Keep fast on Mondays in the month of Shravan. Fast on these four Mondays gives favourable results equal to that kept on 16 Mondays in the other months of the year. Worship lord Hanuman. Worship lord Ganesha and Goddess Saraswati. Remedies should be performed duly in the Kalahasti Shiva Temple near Tirupati Balaji to pacify Kala Sarp yoga. Offer a pair of silver Naga and Nagin or a copper snake to a Shivaling. Wear Gomed and cat's eye studded in a single ring. Wear a snake like silver ring with Gomed and cat's eye studded in it. (Locket or ring should be worn after performing Shodashopachar Pooja of Rahu and Ketu). Perform Shraddha of deceased ancestors (Pitars). Perform religious rites to get your ancestors (Pitars) salvaged (Act of Narayana Bali). Perform Jap of Mahamrityunjaya. Offer articles of Rahu and Ketu such as black sesame seeds (Til), oil, gold, black cloth, black and white blanket, musk, coconut etc. If the Yoga is much strong, then donate ten per cent of your earnings. Serve poor and afflicted people and contemplate God. Remedies mentioned in Lai Kitab are adopted to pacify the effect of Kala Sarp Yoga according to the house of Rahu and Ketu.

By Tara chakra, we come to know as to what result a Nakshatra will give to a native. We find out the position of Nakshatra starting right from the Janma Nakshatra. Besides Janma Nakshatra, we also find Sampat, Vipat, Kshem, Pratyari, Sadhak, Vadha, Mitra and Atimitra. Stars related to the class of Janma, Vipat, Pratyari and Vadha do not give good results. Pooja of these stars should be performed the day they are in transit. It is certain that a person gains by worshipping Janma Nakshatra.

Dhana Teras Pooja Elders in a family purchase house hold utensils and appliances for Grihalakshmi two days before Deepawali on the occasion of Trayodashi. Ganerally, utensils for the head of the family are bought of the metal that may prove to be favourable for him. Deep/ Diyas of Ghee and oil are offered to Yama in the evening. The house is cleaned and decorated with zeal to welcome Goddess Mahalakshmi. Vaidya Dhanvantari had appeared on this day. So, Diyas are kindled to commemorate Dhanvantari. By Remedies of Astrological Science

47

worshipping Dhanvantari on this day, a man enjoys sound health and does not meet untimely death. Some people start worshipping Goddess Lakshmi right from this day. Lakshmi Pooja on this occasion of Dhanateras has got its own significance. Worship of Lakshmi In this materialistic world nothing can be accomplished without the grace of Lakshmi. People wbrship Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth to gain wealth. Worship of Lakshmi on the occasion of Deepawali has got its own significance. It is performed specially on the day of Amavasya in the month of Kartika. Worship of Saraswati, Ganesha, Durga, Kuber, Ledger, Pen, Balance etc. is also performed along with that of Mahalakshmi. Ashta Siddhis dwell in different directions. Worship of these Ashtasiddhis should be performed in the directions as mentioned below: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Om Animne Namah (East) Om Mahimne Namah (Agnikon) (South East) Om Garimne Namah (South) Om Laghimne Namah (Nairritya) (South West) Om Praptyai Namah (West) Om Prakamyai Namah (Vayavya) (North West) Om Ishitayai Namah (North) Om Vashitayai Namah (Ishana) (North East)

Worship of Ashta Lakshmi should also be performed the same way, i.e. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

Om Adyalakshmyai Namah Om Vidyalakshmyai Namah Om Saubhagyalakshmyai Namah Om Amrit Lakshmyai Namah Om Kama Lakshmyai Namah Om Satya Lakshmyai Namah Om Bhoga Lakshmyai Namah Om Yoga Lakshmyai Namah

Thus, after performing worship of Lakshmi, recitation of Lakshmi Chalisa, stotra as well as Aarti should also be performed. By doing all this, a person may enjoy prosperity throughout the year.

11. Contemplation of God Lord Krishna has said in Geeta that four kinds of people take shelter of God: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Those who are distressed and afflicted. To get rid of afflictions. Those who have curiosity to know the God. Those who need wealth for mundane affairs. Those who possess the knowledge of Ultimate Truth.

Worship of God to get desires fulfilled is called devotion with an ulterior motive (Sakam Bhakti). Devotion in real terms is called Nishkama Bhakti and there is no place of any gain in it. One, who is wise and spends his time in worship and spiritual exercises, is the most superior, because I am the most favourite of him and he is the most favourite of mine. People having financial desires take shelter of deities and adopt the particular methods and manners of worship according to their nature. They get their desires fulfilled by worshipping particular deities. But the reality is that all these desires are fulfilled by me. Those who worship deities go to Devalok, but those devoted to me come to my Paramadham". One, who has never been moved by hearing the Katha of the lord, should be considered to be as hard as stone. Sins of the people, committed whether in this life or in the previous ones, are warded off by hearing the Leelas of the lord. There is no way better than adopting what the lord says in his Leelas to get rid of the sins and hurdles in one's life. One can know the importance of Vibhooti, i.e. magnificence Roopa, name and merits of the lord only if he surrenders to Him with devotion. The man can attain Moksha i.e. Parama Dham of lord Krishna only by worshipping Him lifelong, particularly at the time of his death. Rites performed with Satoguna, according to the scriptures, purify the heart of a man and paves the way for him to heaven. People who perform rites with Rajoguna cannot have this opportunity. Ignorant (Tamoguni) people fall to lower Yonis. Only the Satoguni people can contemplate lord Krishna and can go to the His Nitya Dhama. I would like to mention here the 8th, 9th, 10th and 11th Shlokas of the Gita which conveys the gist and essence of Gita. 1.

I am the master of both spiritual as well as financial worlds. Every thing is produced by me. Those, who know all this well, keep on paying affection-based devotion to me and keep on worshiping me with full devotion.

2.

The thinking of true devotees of mine center around me, they devote their lives in serving me. They feel contentment and happiness by talking about me and giving knowledge to each other.

3.

I give knowledge to those who keep serving me uninterruptedly, by which they can contact me.

4.

To shower benediction on them, I dwell in their hearts and thus remove the darkness of ignorance in them by kindling the light of knowledge.

We should contemplate the lord keeping His words mentioned above in mind so that we can gain spiritual attainment. For spiritual development, we shall have to be Satoguni and for that we should follow the rules mentioned in the scriptures. We should avoid consuming any intoxicating thing such as cigarette, wine, Bhang, Ganja etc. We should take vegetarian meal. We must not establish physical relations with women other than wife or men other than husband. We should stay away from gambling, speculation etc. Money earned this way will be spent in evil acts. Instead of getting involved in such things, one should spend some of his times in contemplating the lord. For this, some parts of Geeta should be read daily. It is also wise to have talks on spirituality and God with others. Worship of Shree Vigraha should be performed. Fruits, flowers and sacred water should be offered to the lord with devotion. One should perform Jap of the following Mahamantra for his own betterment: Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare. Following these methods and manners, one will feel that he is achieving his spiritual goal and the agonies and afflictions caused to him by the planets are washed away. There is no other way better than praying the lord devoting oneself to Him to get rid of his afflictions. I just pray to God for your spiritual development. •

12. Conclusion It was a difficult task to produce a subject like the analysis of remedies. A book on Tantra, Mantra, gems and religious and spiritual exercises was in demand for quite some time. The task was something like "to express too much in very words." The book has been written for both the astrologers and the students of astrology. I hope, it will prove to be useful to attain joyful living through remedies of Astrological Science. A doctor prescribes medicines to a patient seeing his test report. If a medicine does not suit him, the doctor changes it. But it does not mean that the medicine prescribed was useless. However, it did not prove useful to the patient it was given to. For that matter the entire medical science cannot be established wrong. Likewise, an astrologer prescribes remedy to a person on the basis of his horoscope. But we cannot establish astrology wrong if the remedy prescribed to4he native does not prove to be useful to him. A disease can be cured without medicine also, but there is no cure for death. Remedies prescribed on the basis of astrology for different diseases and afflictions acts like a substitute. It depends on the quality of the materials of remedy prescribed as to how much will it be effective. Gems prescribed must be pure and flawless. No better result can be expected from a defective and fake gem. Materials and Rudrakshas to be used in Tantrik system must also be genuine and flawless. Mantrochar must be performed correctly. It is essential to have faith in worship and religious rites. In case the Yantras are used, they have to be pure and consecrated. One should have faith in contemplation of God - this proves to be very useful. "Jaki Rahi Bhavana Jaisi, Prabhu Murat Dekhi Tin Vaisi". Only those who have faith on astrology can take benefit from it. "Sakala Padaratha Hai Jag Mahi, Karmaheena Nar Pavat Nahin. Important remedies for major diseases To ward off diseases Wear the gem of Ascendant. Perform Jap of Mrityunjaya.

Venus, the lord of fifth house is combust in this horoscope. Sub-period of Venus in the major period of Jupiter started on 4.11.99 and continued up to 5.7.2002. For this horoscope, Jupiter is malefic and Venus is combust despite being Yogakaraka and is afflicted by Rahu and Ketu. Being combust, a Yogakaraka planet does not render good results. So, the relation of this native with that of his wife turned bitter. His son started disobeying him, as Venus is the lord of fifth house in his horoscope. Hustles cropped up in his trade and business, as Venus is the lord of tenth house. He started thinking of suicide. In these circumstances, he sought advice from me. Mentally, he was so perturbed that he turned against worship and religious rites. No remedy can be advised to a native of this sort. I advised him to wear diamond to pacify evil effect of Venus. The native was unable to buy diamond, so he was said to wear zircon. I advised him to wear red banian under his shirt to propitiate Jupiter. He was asked to remove immediately the broken toys from his house. There is the burden of Stree Rina and Nirdayi Rina on the native since there is Rina of previous birth in the horoscope. Remedies from Lai Kitab was advised to wash away all these Rins. By adopting all these remedies, the native recovered fast from tensions and became happy in a short span of 15 days.
