A Powerful Standard Remedy for all Astrological Problems

[Saindhavi]

Jayakap,

I'm glad to know you have benefited from remedies. Thanks for saying it here.

Prem999,

Thanks for confirming the efficacy of remedies here.

Yes, Rahu periods do arouse an interest in astrology and I too began to learn about astrology towards the end of Rahu Mahadasha.

You can get sandalwood necklace from any Karnataka government emporium. It's also available online, but do check the reliability of the website selling it.

I guess sandalwood pieces are much easier to get from any good shop selling Puja items or Ayurvedic herbal items.

It's an Ayurvedic prescription. Ayurveda has a section dealing with astrology, where herbal remedies for all 9 planets have been suggested. White sandalwood is prescribed for Rahu there.

Hello Saindhavi ji,


I have a similar case here, have been thinking to share my experiences of following your remedies, but couldnt get around to doing it actually, after reading prems comments i thought of saying my thanks to you for posting these remedies for all, it has benefitted me immensely.
I am under RMD since June 2003, and have gone thoriugh lots of troubles and miseries and tensions, after yoou posted the thread, i thoughht of following the things mentioned here, and to tell you the truth, though all of the troubles didnt vanish overnight, but they dis subside gradually and slowly. And i am glad i followed it, I have been reading the durga saptashati, kleek antra, argala strotra etc everyday, along with ganpati puja, though i havent done the lemon diyas yet. It has indeed brought relief, so let me vouch for the effectiveness of this once again and many thanks for sharing these with the rest of us.

Thanks

Could it just be a favorable AD that mitigated your troubles to some extent?
Please check ur AD and how that particular planet is placed in your chart.
It was said by a lot of people on this forum itself that remedies work only for certain category of people or if it is in your chart.
So may be u r one of the few people for whom remedies work, or may be u came across this in the time u were supposed to be helped by remedies or may be they worked coz of a favorable AD.

thanks Saindhavi. Interesting mix with Ayurveda.

@Humannature, I am not good in astrology, but do believe in it immensely, you could be right isn saying what u did, because, out of all the remedies told, i was particularly drawn towards this one, and i followed it wholeheartedly and with full faith, I feel anything done with full faith and belief can do wonders.

[astrorao]

Lot of remedies were mentioned ... but all are related to HINDU dieties...

IS VEDIC ASTROLOGY RESTRICTED TO HINDUS???

A Western person can't implement these remedies...

What are the astrological remedies which will be accepted by all people irrespective of Religion?

[Saindhavi]

Astrorao,

No, you are right that ideally everyone should be able to use Indian astrological remedies.

But since it developed in a Hindu environment, most of the remedies suggested are from the Hindu system.

However, there are gems and Ayurvedic herbal remedies for all planetary influences, which may be recommended according to each chart's condition.

Lal Kitab remedies are the other non-Hindu options available to non-Hindus.

I personally know some non-Hindus, who don't mind lighting diyas for concerned planets, if it involves only diya lighting and nothing else.

Prescribing an "Overall non-Hindu remedy combination" for all people has not been worked out yet.

It's easier to do this using the combination of Vedic and post-Vedic Mantras for all 9 grahas, since at worst the mantras don't cause any harm.

But prescribing a combination of gems and herbs for all 9 grahas is more risky, because they may cause harm if they don't suit a chart.

But whenever I see a post from a non-Hindu on LOVA, I do make efforts to suggest non-Hindu remedies suitable for that person's chart.

I do understand the basic idea of your query; it's just that I have not been able to work out an overall non-Hindu remedy combination yet. If I am able to work it out, I'll come back and write it here.

[astrorao]

Thanks a lot Mam for your reply..

I do agree that Gems is an alternative, but again softwares suggest some standard gems for specific chart. But when it is indivually analyzed, people suggest a different stone.

For ex. people suggest 9th L Gem suitable for entire life. Some people suggest gem should be changed based on the Dasa.

As far as Chanting is concerned, it may be easy for the people like housewifes and who didn't have busy schedules in their life.. In this busy life schedule, chanting for hours on daily basis may be somewhat difficult..

Also Is chanting a mantra is equivalent to listening the same through audio?

Some people suggest, chanting of mantras for disfunctioning planets with pandits instead of Native. Will it work?

[Humannature]

Chanting and fasting are a means of disciplining and restraining one's own self.
I was watching a show recently where an old lady says, "Prayer doesn't change God, Prayer changes me".
How true!

Just because you chant and pray it won't alter the course of your life. It will help you get through the day without breaking down and not because someone will really pull you out of the tough situation but only because you give your mind a rest by putting your faith in some supernatural being to take care of you and get you through the day.

It all boils down to what you make yourself believe for your own sanity.

P.S. It's just my belief and I believe everybody needs to form their own beliefs since hearing thousand different things from thousand different people will only confuse a person and make his/her mind more unstable.

[Saindhavi]

Astrorao,

No, a gem is recommended after analysing the whole chart. It can't be recommended based on the 9th house alone, because in many cases it can cause harm. Hence, gems and herbal remedies are recommended based on individual charts and not in a general manner.

As for chanting, it's not practical to spend hours daily in Puja. If one gets practice, what I have suggested above will not take more than half an hour. One can always find half an hour if one wants.

And please, housewives have actually much less time than people who work in offices on a regular schedule! It's much more difficult to be a housewife than to work in an office. Try managing a household for a month and you'll know. But still they find time for Puja, which is to their credit.

When you need o chant a mantra several hundred, thousand or lakhs of times followed by homam, or if you need to recite a particular text such as Durga Saptashati followed by homam, it's better to engage a knowledgeable priest. Such pujas are done for specific purposes.

But if you need to chant only some mantras several times, you can always do it yourself. Chanting some 8-stanza stotrams or a 2-lines mantra for 108 times doesn't take much effort.

Listening to the audio also has effect, though I don't know if it's equivalent to reciting oneself. But it's next best option to reciting. the condition is that one's mind should focus on the recording being played, one should not engage in conversation etc. and one should stay within the range of the sound.

If you'll follow all these conditions, you'll realise that it's actually much more difficult to listen with attention, without letting your mind wander, than to recite. Besides, recordings in musical form take longer, while reciting the same mantra takes much less time.

But if for any reason you are not able to recite, you can listen to the recordings.

Most of Hindu Puja by common people is actually done with a wish in mind, which one wants God to fulfill. Even the yogis meditate with the view to attain oneness with God/Goddess. Majority of the Vedic and post-Vedic mantras ask the concerned God or Goddess to fulfill certain wishes. Most of the stotrams have a "phalashruti" in the end, which says what all a person achieves by chanting, listening to or reading the stotram.

Praying just to discipline oneself and to get through the troubles without losing one's sanity is a very Christian concept. I don't say it's wrong; it's just not very much ingrained in the Hindu culture.

Whether God (or the Goddess for that matter)actually grants the wish or not is a different story.

[astrorao]

Thanks for your reply Mam.

I don't comment on Housewife's work. In that case, if a working woman is doing a Puja or Sandhya Vandanam she would be more great......!!!!

one more query.... In most of the Shiva temples, Nava Graha temple will be there. Do we need to pray for specifi graha there? Praying all grahas in that temple is fine or must to do?

Also some people wear a ring with all 9 gems (in small size, and square shape). Will it be good for all grahas, Can one can wear like that.

You have mentioned about Herbal Remedies.. Could you please enlighten them.

What about Rudrakshas? People suggest a specific Mukha Rudrasha for specific situation or graha? How far will it work?

Rao

[astrorao]

Mam,

Also you have mentioned that Shanti Pujas and Homams would be done by Priest and Pundits.

Are they chanting same stotras (what you have recommended). They suggest like if Mars is afflicted, the stotra should be recited for 7000 times, For Saturn 19000 times etc.. followed by Homam. This process should be done by Priest or by Native, at Home or at Temple?

Now coming to feeding and Dana.. They say that Nava Dhanya is related to Nava Grahas and we need to donate these Dhanyas(grains) to Shudh Brahmin. Is there any relevance to this method for Gragha's affliction.

Now coming to Medical Astrology.. Every planet and Bhava denotes part of body and also dieses..
Is Medical Astrogy restricted upto diognasis level... Or again these remedies for afflicted graha will work in curing the dieses.. Or it is only a FAITH on GOD??

Rao

[Saindhavi]

Astrorao,

Praying to the Navagrahas in a temple is fine, but it's not always possible to go to a temple, that's why remedies are suggested for performing at home.

I don't think ring with 9 gems should be worn, because all gems may not suit a person's chart.

Ayurveda prescribes herbal remedies for all 9 planets. But herbs should be used in relation to one's specific chart. All 9 herbs may not suit everyone's chart.

I know Rudraksha is prescribed for different grahas, but I have never tried them, nor have seen any person's experiences who wore them for grahas. So, I can't say anything about it. Perhaps Ramananji or Shrikantji on this sight can enlighten you about this.

Graha shanti puja in which several thousand recitation and homam are required should be done by the priest, either in the temple or at home.

Donation of grains is prescribed but I have not tried them, so I can't say about it. But there is no harm in donating grains, since one always accrues the merit of donation. But one need not restrict to donating to Brahmins; one can donate to any poor person in need.

Feeding birds and animals is also good because of the donation aspect involved.

Ayurvedic medicines are essentially herbal medicines for illnesses. Their extent of effectiveness is well-known.

[astrorao]

Thanks Mam for this informative post.

[radhikasingh]

Superb Explanation of "108" and its magical power, thanks Saindhavi Ji

[Saindhavi]

Here is a handy manual for performing Homam/Havan for most major deities and for Saturn and Mars at home by yourself -

http://www.vedicastrologer.org/homam/index.htm

Here is a link for Lakshmi-Narayan Havan/Homam Manual, adapted from above link -

http://kvisit.com/Stq2KAg

(Click on "Download Now" link to view file)

This is especially useful for those who have to perform Durga Saptashati recital followed by Homam. Click the "Chandi Homam" link on the Index page in the link above.

Sanskrit Mantras are given in Devanagari, Roman, Telugu, Malayalam, Tamil and Kannada scripts in order to facilitate pronunciation. You can download the version you like.

Note - Although it's an easy and short procedure given here, please make sure you can pronounce Sanskrit accurately. Mantras should not be pronounced wrongly, especially while reciting Durga Saptashati, as it can have adverse effect.

If you feel you can't pronounce Sanskrit accurately, find a priest knowledgeable in Sanskrit to do it for you.

The other option is to recite Durga Suktam instead of Durga Saptashati, saying "Svaha" at the end of each verse and pouring Ahuti in the fire.

Recite Durga Suktam only once. At the end it contains Durga Gayatri. Recite it 1008 times, pouring Ahuti at each recital, saying "Svaha." After the Ahutis, recite Kunjika Stotram and Devi Suktam from Rig Veda without offering Ahutis. All other procedures will be the same as given in the Chandi Homam manual link.

(Please also see Atharva Veda Hymns as Remedies -

http://www.lightonvedicastrology.com/ph ... 88#p130377)

Lunar Dates (Tithis) for performing Havan/Homam for various deities -

Mahaganapati - 4th or 13th day of waxing Moon (Shukla Paksha) or on Ganesha Chaturthi day

Durga Saptashati - 8th day of any waxing Moon period (Shukla Paksha) or during Navaratri before Rama Navami and Durga Puja

Kala Bhairava - 8th day of waning Moon (Krishna Paksha) of any month especially if it falls on a Saturday, or on any Saturday in Krishna Paksha

Hanuman - Sankranti, Hanuman Jayanti, Chaturthi (4th day) coinciding with Tuesdays, any Tuesdays or Saturdays in Shukla Paksha (waxing Moon)

Lakshmi Narayana - All Purnimas (Full Moon days) when there is no eclipse

Shiva - Any auspicious tithi falling on Monday, Shivaratri

Mars - Any auspicious tithi on a Tuesday

Thanks for this!

I am trying to minimise the number of remedies as much as possible. One needs a lot of experience in this.

Let's see how far I succeed.

[numbskull]

namaste Saindhavi
ur good with remedies , providing here a kundli of my cousin and in his case we require passive remedies like things which could be worn or mantra or strota which his mother or sisiter could do to benefit him as this guy is very stubburn and lazy & we r not able to make him do anything , he is 32yr old but still not working , addicted to tobbacco and living on his dead fathers pension he is married and have one son, there was one episode of insanity at start of rahu dasa 10 yrs back, and any strictness on him is met with sucidae threats by him.

his birth details r

pob kota rajasthan 75 E 50, 25N11

astroboyji has seen this kundli and he is of view that this is a case of dridha karma and no remedy will work , but i feel we should keep trying may one day god will bless him and his family.

[Saindhavi]

Numbskull,

He was born close to an eclipse day.

Not only that; Jupiter, Venus, Saturn and Mercury all conjunct with Sun are combust.

Rahu-Sun conjunction is not good, especially when Sun and Moon are close to eclipse point.

Ketu is malefic in 4th.

Mars the Lagn Lord is not good in 8th and adversely aspects Moon - hence the mental disorder in past.

To top it all, he is running Rahu Mahadasha as well.

It's difficult to suggest remedies for such a chart, but you can try and see what happens -

1 - He should wear a yellow sapphire 6.3 carats set in gold and pearl 6.3 carats set in silver.

2 - Wear a white sandalwood necklace.

3 - Recite daily (or someone else should recite on his behalf) Durga Suktam, chanting Durga-Gayatri within it 108 times, Kunjika Stotram and Devi Suktam from Rig Veda.

4 - Every Ashtami of Shukla Paksha (eighth day of waxing Moon), perform Chandi Homam either oneself i.e., by mother, sister, wife or a kin or by a priest.

It's best to offer Ahutis for Durga Saptashati verses, but if that is not possible, then for Durga Suktam verses, offering 1008 Ahutis for Durga Gayatri, followed by Kunjika Stotram and Devi Suktam from Rig Veda.

See the procedure in my last post above and in the links below.

5 - Every 2 Navaratris i.e., before Rama Navami and during Durga Puja, call a priest to perform Chandi Homam with Durga Saptashati.

Hello Saindhaviji,

I found one of the link on web regarding the use of herbs in astrology,
www dot vedic-astrosolutions dot com/?p=628

You have already seen my chart in Dasha's (Sun Mahadasha and Shani Antardasha) post, and I am following your remedies too, well, I was wearing pokhraj (Yellow Sapphire) for the last 10 years, but before two months the jewel came out of the ring and I am not wearing it, so Can I wear it back with Sandalwood mala and ashwagandha roots. (I couldnt find bael roots online though)? Just for your reference my birth details are:

Dob: 3rd Dec 1986
Time: 8:40AM,
Place Mumbai, 19.22N, 72.84E

Thanks indeed!

[Saindhavi]

Bel roots are not that important. You can leave them.

you can wear yellow sapphire back.

[Dev_Patel]

Dear Saindhavi,
kindly please advise if my Sun is weak/cruel/strong as I have been advised to wear a Ruby in neck. i don't want to do that just yet. will Shree Gayatri Mantra and Aditya Hridayam daily help if Sun is weak? thanks a lot.

my Sun in 7th aspects lagna, but Mercury is combust with sun in 7th
also Sun is debilitated in Navamsha, i guess that is why ruby might be suggeste, your guidance apprctd.
