This introduction is specifically targetted to give an insight into the science of Jyotish (Vedik or Vaidik astrology) as well as an overall understanding of who we actually are, so that temporal subjective material preference doesn’t impede any understandings or presentations of timeless wisdom being carried. We say carried, simply because this humble composer / compiler is not the original speaker. If we look further than merely that I’m an Englishman, and Australian, a New Zealander, an Indian, a Hindu, a Christian, a Moslem, a Buddhist, etc., or even a man, a woman, young or old, black or white or coffee coloured of complexion, neither tall nor short, nor fat nor thin, rather we are eternal spiritual beings living in these vehicles as one uses a car to get around.
Veda means knowledge, and
with that we must explain more than experimental theoroetical knowledge,
but age old proven knowledge carried by sages throughout the ages in every
continent of this planet. These wise sages in various places received this
knowledge as we receive the warming rays of the Sun. t’s the same Sun for
the entire planet, as there’s one God for all beings. Yet according to
different locations, cultures, languages or traditions etc, different people
at different times call that same Sun by different names; Ravi, Ra, Sun,
Sole, Surya and so on… So simialrly we in different locations etc call
God by various names according to how we have perceived Him, just like
a high court judge may be known by serveral names or titles; darling to
his wife, daddy to his children, your honour to the clerks of the court,
the “swinging judge” among the criminal element he judicates over, Mr _______
to the insurance man, and Harry to his friends. It is the same person they
all address from different perspectives, as God is known as Allah, the
Great One; Buddha, the Learned One; Adanoi, the Anointed One; Yaweh or
Jehova, the Amighty One; Rama, the Resevoir of all pleasure; Vishnu, the
Great Maintainer, all such attributes are attractive, and in the Sanskrit
language the term for All Attractive in this vein is Krishna.
The point of my telling you
all this is so that we can accept that this is not a sectarian belief,
or cultish conception, but is as scientific as the factual hard sciences
as mathematics and astronomy that it uses.
Vedic (Indian, Hindu, or Sidereal - as it is known) Astrology is a little different from Western Astrology. The Vedic system is also broken up into different purposes of or for astrology; Mundane or National Astrology to find the karma and reward for a particular country, celestial phenomenon such as Equinoxes, Solstices, New Moons, Eclipses, Planetary Conjunctions and Comets - our Almanacs are based on this; Atmospherical Astrology or the Annual Horoscope which is the art of foretelling the condition of the weather, and the nature of seasonal conditions - a function that is now attempted (not very accurately we may add) by the Meteorological Department of the Governments, this covers the influence of planets over rainfall, agricultural growth, metals, fluid substances, gems, seeds, etc.; Genethliacal or Natal Astrology which deals with the character and destiny of the charts of individual people, through the Rising sign, the positions, aspects, and conjunctions, etc., of planets at the moment of birth; Transit or Lunar System, which shows which planets are transiting where, and at what time; Horary Astrology, which is designed to deal with foretelling the result of any undertaking or transaction, of the immediate future; Election or Muhurtha System, which most believe is the simplest and most useful from the point of view of the activities of man on a daily basis.
Astrology is a little like going to the doctor. We kind of know to some degree what we have, in most part. At least we notice the symptoms of something happening. In most cases we don’t know what is or are the root causes, and if something can be either done to rectify the situation, or how long it will take to pass. So the key is having the insight on how to act. What is very interesting is how to act or do things in the future that will benefit the development of our lives. How to use what we've got to go into the future. So many people lament for what they either don't have or wish they had. Everyone has his/her fortunate and or unfortunate times, our own fruitful times, and our good for nothing times, planets and asterisms. As the influences of the planets are impelling rather than compelling we still have some telelogical free will left to optimise and even change what is suggested, or even what is in operation.
Astrology doesn't fix one's future - it only reduces the set of possibilities in a probabilistic manner. If an astrologer claims 100% success rate, he is cheating you (unless he is a really special spiritual person)! Even a stalwart like Prof. B.V. Raman (who is regarded as the modern day Varahamihira) had many short-comings (as he himself acknowledged).
Astrology is a probabilistic subject in nature. An astrologer can only say that event x is "very likely" and event y is "very unlikely" - he can never say "this will happen".
Astrology is a probabilistic study of natural tendencies. It is a probabilistic study of the "gravity towards destiny". Just as the gravity towards earth can be overcome, this "gravity towards destiny" can be overcome by several means ("will power" being one of those), and Divine Grace another (…this being more applicable to invoking through Divine acts, prayer, austerities of devotion etc).
"Astronomical calculations of stellar influences upon a living being are not suppositions, but are factual, as confirmed in Srimad-Bhagavatam. Every living being is controlled by the laws of nature at every minute, just as a citizen is controlled by the influence of the state. The state laws are grossly observed, but the laws of material nature, being subtle to our gross understanding, cannot be experienced grossly. As stated in the Bhagavad-gita (3.9), every action of life produces another reaction, which is binding upon us, and only those who are acting on behalf of Yajna (Vishnu) are not bound by reactions. Our actions are judged by the higher authorities, the agents of the Lord, and thus we are awarded bodies according to our activities. The law of nature is so subtle that every part of our body is influenced by the respective stars, and a living being obtains his working body to fulfill his terms of imprisonment by the manipulation of such astronomical influence." (Srimad Bhagavatam 1:12:12)
Vedic astrology is not meant to tell you what to do in life, or to necessarily reveal if you will become rich, when you will pass onto your next body, or when that “death” will be. The soul (jiva) is eternal, but the sojourn of the soul is not eternal, it is temporal. The soul in due course of time, we hope, will return to our transcendental home in the spiritual realm. Thus as we change bodies as we change garments, putting on newer ones and discarding old and useless ones, that we call death, the soul eternally passes through. This is the subject matter of the Bhagavad Gita. If you haven’t read this great work, you need to get Bhagavad Gita As It Is today, by Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada, or view that book on-line at http://www.asitis.com/
It is inportant firstly to know who, and what we are, before looking at where we may or may not be going. Astrology from this view tells us what karmas (results of previous fruitive action – parabda karma) we came in with at the time of our birth, what tendencies we have according to our natures, and what the influences of the karma of the individual (native) is, that influence the place of our birth, the planets that are influencing us at time of our birth - the micro (individual – family situation), meso (extended family), exo (social, community, work, etc., situation), and macro (social economic, national, world situations) systems that we are born into. Further each country is governed by a different zodiac sign (New Zealand is Cancer, Australia is Sagittarius, India is Jupiter, etc., etc.) giving its own “mode of nature” or flavour – this you would have experienced. In this way there is an array of influences that give us a template of why we are as we are, why we have certain desires, why we think in a certain way, why we look as we do, and why we allow ourselves to be aligned with certain social elements in the world and not others. These are some of the influences that we are in control of, or have the potential to control if we desire to change them, but there are others that we have little control over at all. The movements of planets, the interactions of those around us in the world from a eco-socio-political realm, and the powerful influence of the will, and or the mercy of God. These all act upon us – some call them kleshas or sufferings because of that (Adyatmika – afflictions of our own body and mind, Adibautika – afflictions by those around us in the world, Adidaivika klesh – afflictions by Divine will) .
Our purpose then is to understand what influences we do have, if we like them (if they are conducive to our purpose in life), and if we don't (if they are not conducive) what we can do to change them, by changing the way we handle them to influence us. For instance the influence of Saturn often causes obstacles, such obstacles for one who knows that they are temporary testing grounds can use them to strengthen us, but for one who comes up against the influences of Saturn without knowing as such could be self-defeating and discouraging. Like if you know it's going to rain and you want to go out it could be dampening to your enthusiasm, but if you know the rain’s only there for the morning and the sun will come out in the afternoon, you might go out but take a coat, or umbrella, or even leave going out until the afternoon doing something else productive or more conducive during that time. Similarly under the influence of one planet or another as we will elaborate in the body of the chart certain actions may be very beneficial toward you, while others may act in such a way that introspection is needed, tolerance excersised, and options for direction looked into. Jyotisha or Vedik Astrology allows that we have forsight.
In the words of the great sages, Astrology is so designed to see what obstacles one may have in one's life, and to train people how one get through that, and optimise even adverse conditions into advantages. The expert business man makes money when the market is up, and when it is down, knowing where to invest his energy at what time. Astrology is very similar - we utilise the waves and tides of good planets to come to the shore of our destiny, and we avoid making major life changing decisions during periods that could negatively influence us. Using Saturn as an example again; if and when he places obstacles in one’s path, we can use those obstacles to become stronger, more resourceful, experienced and diligent in our lives rather than thinking in self-defeatest negative ways that lead to frustration, anger, bewilderment, and no solution to the sufferings of the material world, etc.
"Astronomical calculations of stellar influences upon a living being are not suppositions, but are factual, as confirmed in Srimad-Bhagavatam. Every living being is controlled by the laws of nature at every minute, just as a citizen is controlled by the influence of the state. The state laws are grossly observed, but the laws of material nature, being subtle to our gross understanding, cannot be experienced grossly. As stated in the Bhagavad-gita (3.9), every action of life produces another reaction, which is binding upon us, and only those who are acting on behalf of Yajna (Vishnu) are not bound by reactions.

(Srimad Bhagavatam 1:12:12)
I hope that this overview to what and who you are is helpful, and that by these insights you are able to benefit in the development of becoming a more and more holistic being, in tune with nature and its Creator.
Our Disclaimer(s) - Lord Sri Krishna (God – Allah, Buddha, Rama, Jehovah) is the only Swatantra (Independent Lord) everyone and everything in "reality" is reliant or dependent upon Him, we're all therefore Aswatantra (Dependent) upon Him in every way – like it or not.
What we are saying here in these charts is/are only what is indicated by the planets at the time of birth - one's karma at birth. As we know things change, and so does our chart. In the ultimate issue Lord Sri Krishna is the Supreme controller and can change things for the better or may present a challenge - He knows what we need in the overall sojourn of our journey through this world. He is like a Well-wishing Father, Who understands us better than we understand ourselves. Therefore anything indicated in the chart is only to show what may lay in store, thus being a little fore-warned we may be trained how to avoid un-savoury situations by taking shelter of the Lord, his devotees, and His associates, the shastra, His temples, the Holy Names, etc., and in the seeming easy times instead of forgetting the purpose of life we can make rapid advancement in going forward in our lives.
The learned Shastrakara Srila
A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupad informs us that for devotees (Godly
souls) we need not really be interested in seeing if we are going to be
rich man, etc., but instead use such opportunities as found in these charts
are to see what obstacles will be, or may be presented, that we may be
trained how to avoid and truly benefit from them – and in times of “fair
weather” use that nicely to make advancement in spiritual life.
Other than that Astrology
is not for devotees, for it may re-enforce the conception that the material
elements, or even the devas (presiding departmental heads of universal
affairs) who rule over various planets to be superior to the will and direction
of the Lord and those aspiring to surrender to Him.

“Lord Çré Kåñëa
is He who is known as jana-niväsa, the ultimate resort of all living
entities, and who is also known as Devakénandana or Yaçodä-nandana,
the son of Devaké and Yaçodä. He is the guide of the
Yadu dynasty, and with His mighty arms He kills everything inauspicious,
as well as every man who is impious. By His presence He destroys all things
inauspicious for all living entities, moving and inert. His blissful smiling
face always increases the lusty desires of the gopés of Våndävana.
May He be all glorious and happy!” (Srimad Bhagavatam 10:90:48.)
...and Sri Ishopanishad (invocation mantra) states:

TRANSLATION
The Personality of Godhead is perfect
and complete, and because He is completely perfect, all emanations from
Him, such as this phenomenal world, are perfectly equipped as complete
wholes. Whatever is produced of the Complete Whole is also complete in
itself. Because He is the Complete Whole, even though so many complete
units emanate from Him, He remains the complete balance.

TRANSLATION
Everything animate or inanimate
that is within the universe is controlled and owned by the Lord. One should
therefore accept only those things necessary for himself, which are set
aside as his quota, and one should not accept other things, knowing well
to whom they belong.
“...suitable arrangement of astral influences is never a creation of man’s will, but is the arrangement of the superior management of the agency of the Supreme Lord. Of course, the arrangement is made according to the good or bad deeds of the living being. Herein lies the importance of pious acts performed by the living being. Only by pious acts can one be allowed to get good wealth, good education and beautiful features.” (Srila A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Srimad Bhagavatam 1:12:12 purport.)
According to shastra (scriptures)
what one is dealt at the time of birth is only an indication of what karmas
we have deserved, and what entitlement may be dealt to us in the "Game
of Life". However, there is no established fact that what is read one has
to get. According to the desire of the Supreme Lord one may get more or
less or nothing. We have experienced this also; in our family we had our
charts done when we were living in India just after my son was born. The
astrologer noticed a common fatal indication in my wife, my son and my
chart that didn’t look good for our future. We decided to take all possible
precaution and to take shelter of Krishna by remaining in Vrindavan Dham
where we were living at that time. Circumstances had it that I was asked
to go to Delhi on Temple business and had no option but to go. My wife
took the opportunity to accompany me on the basis that our son needed some
medicine from a very good doctor in New Delhi, so we all went. Instead
of taking tour normal cheaper mode of train transport (2nd Class) we took
the Deluxe (3rd class by western standards) from Mathura. Instead of staying
in cheap tourist bungalows we normally opted for we stayed in the YMCA
(not exactly splashing out…..), instead of getting around in rikshaws and
autos, we opted for four wheeled taxis for safety. And on our return to
Vrindavan similarly rather than taking the rikshaws that travel from Mathura
to Vrindavan we opted for a Tonga (horse drawn carriage). Actually it was
realy nice, we trotted along at a casual 10-15 kms until we got to the
Chatigarh Rd and the hill that lead down to the turn-off to Vrindavan.
The horse kinda lost it, the weight pushed him harder and he ran harder
to keep up until his little legs couldn’t keep up any more and he fell
over. When he fell the shafts that kept him in place dug into the ground
and the entire cart lifted at 90% to the ground. The driver was thrown
off and received cuts and grazing to his face and knees, and the poor horse
lost a couple of teeth and had some grazing on its face. As for my wife,
my three month old son, and me, we never left the cart. We were told later
after throwning our bodies prostrated at the lotus feet of Krishna Balaram
at our temple in Raman-reti Vrindavan that when this kind of thing happens
and at that speed the people on the cart get squashed by the three ton
of wood and metal that make up the tonga-cart that comes crashing down
on them. So the prediction bore fruit, but by the Grace of the Lord, especially
in His Divine abode of Sri Vrindavan Dham let us off with all but a scare.
HDG Srila Prabhupad tells
us that one castes a chart not to see if a person is going to be rich or
poor etc., but to see what obstacles they may have in their life and to
be able with foresight to be able to train them how to avoid and overcome
such challenges.

TRANSLATION
“Many planks and sticks, unable
to stay together, are carried away by the force of a river’s waves. Similarly,
although we are intimately related with friends and family members, we
are unable to stay together because of our varied past deeds and the waves
of time.” (Srimad Bhagavatam 10:5:25. Text.)
In some charts we have seen
great things predicted, the expectation of such near driving the native
to frustration; we have seen fatal danger predicted that was minimised
to bearly give fruit; and to all we can say that we have seen those reap
their just deserves. Likened to a kind and loving Father, who knowing the
nature, heart and mind (motive and intent) of His child will not
give into the child’s hands something that may cause danger or confusion.
We’ve experienced this many times; options have been shown, and where the
lesson was learned the harm was not afflicted; and to those that want and
want, absorbed in their material desires He gives nothing, or barely enough
to shut them up, or to others destined to squander and learn they too did
as expected. Why these things happen are best known to the Father, Who
having better experience and perspective of the environment that we’re
in, knows what we need and what we don’t need in order to succeed.
As aspiring Godly devotees
we are not interested in speculative notions or reliance's on what the
material nature is to deal us - if we have faith in the Lord, and confidence
that He will look after us irrespective what cards we are dealt - so to
speak - and that in His eyes, we are all fallen, suffering for want of
His help, and are in need of reform (help, and guidance), we will be able
to benefit from astrology. Other than this His Divine Grace Srila A.C.
Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada says that better we should avoid it, for
if it influences us, or gives us an impression that predetermines our fate
away from opportunities that Krishna may personally place for us, or fix
our mind on some negative or positive idea of what we are something other
than jivera swarup hoy krishnera nitya das (His eternal servants) it has
taken us away from our Lord. It is for this reason that some persons like
Saint Augustine says that Astrology is an offense to the Lord, for it can
make a person think that there is something more powerful than God.
Yet to the faithful, who understand
and look for His plan, we will keep the spiritual perspective/status. Knowing
that He, as our Ever Well Wishing Father (suhrdham sarva bhutanam) has
a plan for each and every one of us. A plan that will help us become better
persons in every respect. We offer our respects to Him.

Janma Nakshatra:
The Nakshatra: this means the stellar constellation that
one is born under. Probably the most common and popular example of this
would be when the Three Wise men of Biblical times found the child Christ
that was marked by a certain star. It is mentioned that these Magi, Wise
Men from the East are sometimes referred to as Zoroastrian astrologers.
They had been casting their charts and found that at a certain longitude
and latitude on a certain day, in a particular month a certain star (one
of the 27 nakshatras) would identify the place where a great even would
happen, so they prepared themselves with ceremonial gifts and went there.
.
Out of the 27 stars some are Rakshasa (demoniac), some
Manushya (Human-like) and some Deva (Godly) – and of each of them they
are either masculine, feminine or hermaphrodite, Each star is ruled by
a certain designated administrative head of the universe or some are ruled
by God Himself – each filtering their nature onto the individual – each
have a different purpose or functionary activity to perform. As well as
this, each star is divided up into four Padas or sections according to
their degree in relation to the Moon, which in turn will be in a particular
sector of the sky relating to the lagna or zodiacal sign (ie. Taurus [Vrishabh],
Libra [Thula], Gemini [Mithuna], etc.)
Sometimes the Pada's are afflicted with dosha and some
upaaya (remedial) measure is needed to be performed to compensate for the
impediment to the appropriate nakshatra and person. We can direct you through
this.
The Rising Sign (Lagna): a
The earth is a spheroid (sphere flattened at the poles)
rotating once a day around its axis; the earth also revolves around the
Sun once a year. Thus each of the 12 zodiacal signs seem to rise with the
Sun, at the beginning of each of the 12 solar months.
.
On the first day of Aries the first degree of that sign
rises in the Eastern horizon at sunrise, and so on till the last day of
Pisces, the sunrise takes place in the last degree of the zodiac, when
the solar year ends.
.
Thus the Lagna (also called the Ascendant) is that particular
point of the ecliptic (the apparent orbit of the Sun) considered with reference
to the horizon of a particular place. The degree and the sign in which
the Sun rises will be the Lagna at the Sun rise time. The zodiacal sign
which rises at the time of birth is the birth lagna.
.
Houses / Bhavas signifies the particular
planet that is said to be the ruler of a zodiacal sign, or owner of the
sign, and it is called the Lord of that house. The influence of a planet
is said to change depending upon whether it is in its own house, or in
the house of another planet, who is friendly, equal or inimical.
.

.
Sun (Ravi)
Leo (Simha)
Moon (Chandra)

.
Maha Dasa Periods:
Each planet has a certain number of years as its term
of Dasa. There are a number of systems of Dasas in vogue in the Vedic system
of Astrology, but we deal with Vimshotari dasas. The total of the different
periods allotted to the 9 planets is 120 years; this was considered as
the natural life span of a human being. However having said that, there's
no Absolute statement that these 120 will be lived out in this body. The
dasa at birth of a person depends upon the position of the Moon at
the time of his birth. The Maha dasa, dasa, antaradasa, and prantara dasa
periods continue to go on in a cyclic manner, and we hop on and hop off
these cycles as we go through the 8,400,000 species of life. In this human
form we get the great good fortune to be able to take serious note of what
situation we have developed up to, and have options for further development
to return to our original home in the spiritual realm, Goloka Vrindavan.
Depending on various factors various planets will, or may have their effects
upon one. Ultimately if we take shelter of the supreme planet material
effects will be arranged by the Lord to aide us further in His works. However,
up until that stage of God centered life we have the tendency to be influenced
by mighty heavenly planets. The following dates then show us according
to where we came into the cycle in this body which planets then will be
of most influence, and at what time. When a person is passing through the
dasa of a particular planet he will face the maximum or minimum effects
of that planet's influence depending whether the planet is exalted or low,
benefic or malefic, and aspected by other friendly or inimical planets.

Maha-dasa, dasa (bhukti) and antaradasa periods:
Now having charted out all these years I have to say
that this is not to say that you definitely be in your present body for
all this time, nor is there a definite time when you will leave this body
indicated. Although there was the suggestion that you have been alocated
a long life. The charts that you see here are to indicate where you are
at what time, and under whose influence. The next set of charts still in
the realm of the Dasa periods shows the Maha-dasa, as it does here, and
the dasa period or bhukti, but also homes in on smaller periods called
antaradas as
that change almost on a monthly or bi-monthly basis according to the planet.
These are very useful for day to living, organising oneself, and goal setting
for future tasks. As man (human) proposes and God disposes there’s guarantee
that our plans will work out, although there is assurance that if our plans
are centred around fulfilling the services of the Lord He may just empower
and entrust us to execute those plans as a service unto Him. We all need
some direction, and if these indicators are used wisely, and when need
be consulted often they can save us from planting seeds in ground that
is not furtile, or ground that will flood, or ground that animals will
soon be grazing on. In this way we can better utilise our time in serving
the Lord and not become frustrated if results differ from our expectations.
Having said that if we know that there is a furtile period, and optimise
what we have been given by properly utilising that time in the Lord’s multivarious
services, why cannot those results received by using God-given intelligence
be further used in His service??? This is how we utilise these times. Srila
Prabhupad suggests that for the devotee, we cast a chart to see what obstacles
are there and then train the devotees how to avoid and overcome them. We
are not interested in if we will become rich man, begger man, theif, etc.
But using whatever Krishna has provided us with to use as a stepping stone
on our sojourn to returning back to home, back to Godhead.

Some jyotishas are inclined to direct their clients toward talismans, gems, fasts, etc., to compensate for requirements needed in a particular planetary area. Personally, although I'm aware of the other methods, I'm more inclined to worshipping the particular Vishnu form who is the Lord of the Planetary Dynasty to gain remedial effects. Thus following in the words of Srila Bhaktivinoda Thakur 1896, ""WHILE LOCATED IN THE MAYIC WORLD MAN MUST LIVE PEACEFULLY WITH THE OBJECT OF CULTIVATING THE SPIRIT. IN HIS SOCIETY HE MUST LEAD A PURE LIFE, AVOID SINS AND DO AS MUCH GOOD AS HE CAN TO HIS BROTHER MAN. HE MUST BE HIMSELF HUMBLE BEARING DIFFICULTIES OF LIFE WITH HEROISM, MUST NOT BRAG OF ANY GOODNESS OR GRANDEUR HE HAS AND MUST TREAT EVERYONE WITH THE RESPECT DUE TO HIM. MARRIAGE WITH A VIEW TO PEACEFUL AND VIRTUOUS LIFE AND WITH A VIEW TO PROCREATE SERVANTS OF THE LORD IS A GOOD INSTITUTION FOR A VAISNAVA. SPIRITUAL CULTIVATION IS THE MAIN OBJECT OF LIFE. DO EVERYTHING THAT HELPS IT AND ABSTAIN FROM DOING ANYTHING WHICH THWARTS THE CULTIVATION OF THE SPIRIT. HAVE A STRONG FAITH THAT KRISHNA ALONE PROTECTS YOU AND NONE ELSE. ADMIT HIM AS YOUR ONLY GUARDIAN. DO EVERYTHING WHICH YOU KNOW KRISHNA WISHES YOU TO DO AND NEVER THINK THAT YOU DO A THING INDEPENDENT OF THE HOLY WISH OF KRISHNA. DO ALL THAT YOU DO WITH HUMILITY. ALWAYS REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE A SOJOURNER IS THIS WORLD AND YOU MUST BE PREPARED FOR YOUR OWN HOME. DO YOUR DUTIES AND CULTIVATE BHAKTI AS A MEANS TO OBTAIN THE GREAT END OF LIFE, KRISHNA-PRITI. EMPLOY YOUR BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT IN THE SERVICE OF THE DEITY. IN ALL YOUR ACTIONS, WORSHIP THE GREAT LORD. DO THESE WITH YOUR HEART, MIND AND STRENGTH IN THE COMPANY OF SPIRITUAL PEOPLE ALONE, AND YOU WILL SEE KRISHNA IN NO TIME."
NaaLEnna seyyum kOLenna Seyyum
NaarAyaNan Thiruvadi piditthARkkE
(Meaning ): what can the Thithi (phase of the Moon) and nakshathrams (stellar constellation) do for one, or to one, who has firmly grasped Sriman NaarAyaNA's Thiruvadi (Lord Narayana, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Sri Vishnu or Lord Sri Krishna) as one’s protection ? Nothing. No need to fear Grahams (planets) and their effects. Graha PhalamEmi asks Saint ThyagarAja for those who has recieved the anugraham of Sri Raamachandran (Sri Rama).
Shastra tells us that the worship of Garuda and Bhagavan Narasimha wards off all evil effects from the navagrahas (nine planets). The Nrisimha PuraNam specifically glorifies this aspect in the RuNa vimOchana stotram salutation "krUragrahaI: piidithAnAm bhakthAnAm abhaya pradham".
Recitation of Srila Jayadev Goswami's, or Sripad Vadiraj Tirtha's, or Swami Desikan's Dashavatara stotram (prayers in glorification of the 10 primary incarnations) safeguards one from all evil effects of navagrahas. Matsya avataram rules over Ketu, while Kurma avataram confers protection against the effects of Shani (Saturn), Varaha grants succour from the effects of Rahu, Narasimha from Mars, Vamana from Brihaspati (Jupiter), Bhargava Rama (Parasuram) from Shukran (Venus), Dasharatha Rama from the Sun, Krishna from the Moon, Balarama from Gulikan, and Kalki from Budhan (Mercury) - again a wonderful demonstration of the compassion of Our Paramacharyan (gurus) for their followers.
For some to overcome the negative influences of certain specific planets such as Mars, Sun, or even Jupiter and Ketu it is advised that one may take to such remedial measures. For health issues I would recommend gem therapy, by placing the gemstone for the particular planet either onto one’s skin and in that way charging the body with the required forces, or to place the same gems into a medium such as water and drinking that water after leaving it overnight. If you require this then please let me know and I can prescribe a suitable gem for you, what metals it should be set into, and what day and time it should be placed on what finger, with the appropriate mantra – there is a little puja that accompanies it also. They have similar effects to one taking vitamins or suppliments in one’s diet.
Alternately, the other method, which I consider to be more effective and more conducive to our dependency upon the Lord than material elements, is to worship daily the Lord of the particular dynasty. As you may know Lord Krishna is the Lord of the Lunar dynasty (Chandravamsa) so for problems with the Moon (which you don’t have) one should worship Lord Sri Krishna; for the Sun - Lord Rama; the planet Mars - Lord Narasimhadeva; Mercury - the Vishnu incarnation of Lord Buddha; Venus - Sage Bhargava (Jamadagni the father of Parasuram), the plenary incarnation of God was from Venusian dynasty. (The Bhargava dynasty comes down from Bhrgumuni) – some authorities recommend worshipping Mohini or Vara-Laxmi or Dhana-Laxmi, others Parasuram (Bhargava Rama); Rahu – Lord Varaha; Saturn – Lord Kurma; Kethu – Lord Matsya; Jupiter – Lord Vamandev.
A small puja to the Lord of that dynasty will surely help one. Some devotees who have been “afflicted” have decided to worship all Dasavataras daily to keep the balance – where is the harm in that? If you require pictures of the particular incarnation of the Lord as mentioned above they can be found at my WWW web-site: http://www.hknet.org.nz/index.htm or directly from the Dasavatara’s page at: http://www.hknet.org.nz/Dasavatara-page.htm
Some may like to worship a yantra plate or wear yantras
to avert these inauspicious influences. There are many benefits to be had
from wearing yantras, more so than by wearing gemstones, which themselves
may be flawed with imperfections, whereas a yantra when properly invoked
and worn on the body represents the geomentrical symbology of the Deity
that has the mantra and design and tantra of.
Similarly, as above mentioned relating to the various
Lords of the various planetary dynasties, the yantra of the Lord can be
worn or worshipped to counter the negative influences found in the charts,
as it is considered to be the same as having a Deity that the yantra represents
on one’s body.
If you would like to see more information on Yantras and the wearing of Yantras, Their puja etc., then please visit my web-site http://www.salagram.net/sstp-yantras.html
Trusting that this finds you in the very best of health and blissful Krishna consciousness.
