Vedic Remedies - Chanting Mantras, Gems, Pujas, Charities

[Bloomingstar]

Dear Fellow Members,

I want to find out diverse opinions about various forms of remedies which are suggested as a result of astrological reading. Broadly, they are:

1) Chanting Sanskrit Mantras
2) Wearing Gemstones in the form of Jewellery
3) Performing Prayers ( Pujas )
4) Performing Homam
5) Doing Charitable Deeds: donations, feeding animals and poor etc

I am eager to find out:

1) Which of the above remedies really work better than others
2) Can Gemstones wearing equate performing homas and chanting mantras

My 2nd question is based on a personal feeling that wearing gems is something that's all the time with us and seems to working (acting ) all the time and no special / dedicated time is required to be spent WHEREAS doing pujas, mantra chanting etc require a discipline and time needs to be spent. So, I feel gemstones look like a working shortcut method.
Is that true?

[SWARNIM]

As per my understanding:

No remedy is as effective as the selfless service and good deeds/karma/charity (it is based upon the general understanding that gives special importance to the significator of Karma i.e. Saturn & significator of Dharma i.e. Jupiter ).

Then comes chanting Mantras, Homam & offering prayers.

The last one is wearing gemstone.

Try chanting your mantra over your special lucky gemstone or jewellery. It may absorb the vibration from your effort and serve as a reminder and possibly as a talisman for your intended purpose. It can connect you to that particular deity or focus of the mantra.

Homas may be very good for manifesting wealth.

Swarnim made a great answer.

Some say 9 planet yantra worship can remove afflictions and bestow blessings or mantras for all nine planets or navratna pendant or ring. Can anyone confirm these really help and give some example?

[Bloomingstar]

Thanks to all respondents.

I have also heard that the navaratnas help a great deal and they work.

There is lot of discussion about it as Shri Yogananda Paramhansa wore it. He wore a Navaratna Bangle as an armlet.

Any comments? I am seriously thinking of going this route. The matter is drawing me towards it

When i was a teenager i enjoyed having a poster on my wall with all the planets in the correct position. They were photos taken from big telescopes or satellites. I had my room painted golden orange also)))

Let us know how the amulet goes if you take one. Please have it energized correctly and don't allow others to touch it.
Maybe give it a booster energization once a week.

I think Sri Yogananda received the Navaratna bangle from his Guru. Naturally the blessings of the Guru makes all the difference.

Somewhere I have read that talismans will give the expected result only if they were drawn by a person with a superstrong unafflicted Jupiter in his own chart.

As you had listed the options, I will deliberate one by one. Before that, any astro remedies to be effective and successful the following points to be adhered

A. Respect Mother, Father,Mother and Father-in law

B. Respect Gurus and teachers

C. Respect spouse,Progeny or progenies, Sibling or Siblings, friends

D.Respect Laws, nature

E. If sacred thread around body, Trikala Sandhyavandanam is must... as Karma

F. If deceased parent or parents... monthly amavasya tharpan is a must

G. If deceased parent or parents.... annual shraddh ceremonies is a must.

The last three will reflect on the first four points

In order for astroremedies to be successful... above points to be noted

....... To be continued

As you had said in your post, pujas, or prayers or homam is time consuming etc and you had concluded Gems is shortcut to remedies.
If that is the case, our ancient sages would have worn or recommended Gems instead of mantrams, stotrams, homams etc

In my above post I had listed the important things one has to follow in their life journey, if these karmas are religiously ,systematically,daily followed as karma apart from Lord's prayers.... astro remedies need not be recommended to a person than looking for shortcut methods

As I say, for example Sandhyavandanam daily anushtanam followed by every Sunday early morning Suryanamaskaram of 132 in numbers along with chanting of mantras... one will be bright in studies, improves rewards and recognition in society, wealth will be accumulating, Good progeny and good in studies and most important person need not go to gym/treadmill,eyespec,cardiologist, etc.. health will be always fine

I had said Respect mother, father, mother and father in law.... Because of mother and her struggle for 10 months in her womb, her feeding post neonate birth.... once grown up listen and act according to mother's word.. She becomes first Guru and first living God.. till her death and after her death has to be respected by doing monthly amavasyatharpanam and annual shraddh..... you say time consuming... need shortcut method???
We look at Father, after mother.. father becomes second living God.. as he would plan for son or daughter's happiness and education...till father's lifetime thereshould be no confrontation.. after demise... tharpanam and annual shraddh... do say Gem's treatment will anyway help here if one does not respect mother and father and thereby accruing karmic debts in this life and next seven generations. We look at mother and father in law.... they are the one's who have gifted or donated their girl child to your family, by changing Ghotram with mantras chanting... and groom's father in that process his hands go down below brides parents during argyam process when girl child donated in the marriage into groom's family. When any one receives donation from someone, person has to respect donor... in this case is mother and father in law.. If the demise of father in law takes place( if inlaws does not have male progeny).... it is the duty of son in law to. do mahalayapaksham tharpanam, so that souls are respected and they bless in turn...... you say Gems treatment will substitute here...

Now at the sages slokas on Tharapanam and shraddh for parents

Yahsmin masi mruti pakeshe yasya yasyam thithou bhaveth
Thasyameva thithou suryath opthikam thu visheshakna

Meaning.... Parents death anniversary day is equivalent to 1000 surya grahan. One who does not do even pariharas homams, daily japas but does daily nitya karmas, monthly tharpanams to parents and annual shraddh ceremonies, persons wish everything would be fulfilled by pitru devatas I.e parents and Almighty, inbargain his family there will be always subhishakam.

Let us look at another sloka from Dharmasastra

Panditha nyanino murkha sthriyo atha brahmacharinah
Mruthaham samadikramya chandala koti janmamasu

Meaning.... I am well learned pandit, I am nyani, I left all my desires, I am brahmachari, I have learnt vedas, teaches vedas, I am a girl with this kind of lies, one who does not do daily sandhyavandanam, deceased parents karmas like tharpanam, shraddham, not only in this janma but also next janma the person will be in deep distress., whatever work like pariharam or other karmas like professional matters will not yield success.

Does any short cut required or Gems will substitute here. No it will not and it will never
