Default Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra - 07-28-2009, 01:49 AM

Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra

Om tryambakam yajāmahe sugandhim pushti-vardhanam |
Urvārukamiva bandhanān mrityor mokshiya māmritāt ||


Meaning:

"OM. We worship and adore you, O three-eyed one, O Shiva. You are sweet gladness, the fragrance of life, who nourishes us, restores our health, and causes us to thrive. As, in due time, the stem of the cucumber weakens, and the gourd is freed from the vine, so free us from attachment and death, and do not withhold immortality."

Mahamrityunjaya Mantra (maha-mrityun-jaya), also called the Tryambakam Mantra, is a verse of the Yajurveda (TS 1.8.6.i; VS 3.60) addressed to Tryambakam "the three-eyed", identified with the Hindu deity Shiva. It's literal translation is the Great Death-Conquering mantra. It is a mantra that has many names and forms.

It is called the Rudra mantra, referring to the furious aspect of Shiva; the Tryambakam mantra, alluding to Shiva's three eyes; and its is sometimes known as the Mrita-Sanjivini mantra because it is a component of the "life-restoring" practice given to the primordial sage Shukra after he had completed an exhausting period of austerity. The Maha Mrityunjaya mantra is hailed by the sages as the heart of the Veda. Along with the Gayatri mantra it holds the highest place among the many mantras used for contemplation and meditation.

The mantra was originally given by Lord Shiva as a boon ( Mritasanjiviani Vidya) to Shukracharya after his penance. It was later known to brihaspati and devas who gave it to rishi vashistha for human welfare.

Default Muhurta astrology - 08-01-2009, 05:31 AM

Muhuruta astrology

In Hindu system of astrology, astrology is given status of “eyes of Vedas”, as one can perceive past, present & future through this futurity branch of knowledge; then its most useful branch – Election (Muhurtha) – has a
rightful status of “brain”; as certain moments are auspicious / fruitful than other, is known through electional astrology only. And aspirant is rendered guidance to plan birth of life events for fruition of aspirants desires through astrological, spiritual, mundane, environmental omen & sound energies available at the moment of initiation of the selected activity.

Hindu system of Electional (Muhurt) astrology covers all the life activities right from conception to performing of the last rites after death. It also covers some activities on which there is no human control; like puberty &
teething; with a view to take precautionary measures in addition to delineating their effects.

The guidance provided by this branch of knowledge is fundamental, & when effectively used along with the sound professional knowledge related to the activity, degree of success & fruition (Siddhi) is almost certainly assured.

Hindu electional astrology since the time immemorial from the birth of the Vedas is being profitably used in Yagyas (ceremony in which oblations are offered) & performing Samskaras (pronounced as Sanskaras - sacraments for purification of the body, mind & soul). None of these rites were thought possible without auspicious Election (Muhurt). Without auspicious Election (Muhurt) they lose their purpose of purification.

By acting on auspicious Election (Muhurt) for conception & Punvasan Samskaras (sanctification of pregnant woman), one can have choice of sex of progeny; safety & health of foetus can be assured through Seemanta Samskar (for health of foetus); warding of evil effects of planets & adverse birth time through Jaatakaram Samskar (for
destroying evil effects on newly born); higher level in wisdom, education, wealth & profession is achievable through Vidyaarambh (starting of education) Samskar; longevity, health, disease free life through tonsure Samskar; continuous gain of ornaments & the like through ear boring Samskar; spiritual development & purification through Upanayana Samskar (wearing a scared thread); health & proper medical development through Aanaprashan (first feeding to a child) & first feeding in milk; peace of the departed soul through proper last rites; are achieved on compliance of prescribed Election (Muhurt) .

Regarding marriage related activities, one should seek election for engagement, sending invitation cards, solemnizing of marriage, first sexual union & first return of bride to her father’s house; to ensure mutual love,
virtuous wife and, felicitous & harmonious married life.

In lot many day to day activities, Election (Muhurt) has its role in achieving higher success through lesser efforts.

Start of a travel of importance at favourable time for an aspirant shall surely bring success to him; wearing of ornaments & clothes in the prescribed Election (Muhurt) shall lead to prosperity & well being; fast progress, development & profits are assured in new venture & business initiated at felicitous Election (Muhurt).

WHEN ELECTION (MUHURT) IS NOT REQUIRED

Election (Muhurt) has emanated from Vedas, Shaastras, Puraanas, Shrutis, Smritis, scriptures, and other canonical, religious & mythological holy books.In the matters of daily routine & the activities performed daily, do not require Election (Muhurt). Like a person who daily shaves, need not follow Election (Muhurt) but shall do better to avoid after-noon & malefic days like Tuesday & Saturday, especially night-time.

Like a person who has to travel urgently without having time to consult ephemeris or astrologer, he may travel to meet the exigencies like performance of death rites, to attend marriage & the like rites, on hearing obituary news.

The concept of Astrological Remedies

In everyone's chart, planets are divided in two parts depending upon their effect on a person, i.e. Malefic and benefic (Krur grah and soumya grah respectively). Malefic planets are planets which are harmful to a person's specific aspect of life and benefic planets are beneficial planets. Not going deep in this post regarding determining and analysing malefic and benefic planets. I will concentrate on remedies for planets i.e. ways to pacify or strengthen a particular planets by different means.

A remedy is a process or method through which we try to strengthen our benefic planets and pacify our malefic planets. There are many ways to do do this, generally they include Mantra, Tantra, Yantra, Donations, Gems, Worships, Fasts etc.

The Principle behind Astrological Remedies:

The principle behind an astrological remedy is to increase and strengthen our positive Karma in this life so that the effect of our previous life karma can be decreased to atleast some extent if not fully. Remedies help us improve the flow of positive energy in our mind and body and to decease the flow of negative energy in same.

Factors affecting Results of Astrological remedies:

1) The correct method: If a remedy is not performed using correct and prescribed method then the result may not be as wanted or expected.

2) The faith of the performer: If the person do not have faith in the remedy then the person may not get the desired result. On the other hand if the person have strong and unshakable faith in remedies and God then the person may get more than normal results. Faith is the force which is driving the world even in this "Kalyuga". By what else mean you can explain the "placebo effect" ?

3) The Strength of the Karma: If your past life karma are too strong then you will have to bear the fruit no matter how many remedies you perform. We can divide previous life karma in three parts depending upon their degree of severeness. Say mild, moderate and severe (This division is not an official division, this is just an informal division to help common people understand). Fruits of mild karma can be deferred by remedies easily, While severe Karma can not be defered at all although we can gain strength to face the result with bravery and wisdom. Fruits of moderate karma can be deferred partially.

These are the main three factors which affect the overall results of remedies.

TYPES OF REMEDIES

Various remedies have been described in Vedic Texts. These follows

1) Mantras and Worships
2) Donations and Charity
3) Tantra and Sadhnas
4) Yantras, gems, Rudrakhas etc.
5) Behaviour modification (Aachar rasayan)

These are the major types of remedies.

1) Mantras and Worships:

Various Mantras and Worships have been given in various vedic texts for pleasing various planets and Lords. The principle behind Mantras and worships is to pray, pray to the Lord which is responsible for problems or the Lord which is benefic for you. This way we try to please the God and pray to Him to bless us with his Positive energy. Worships and Mantras are the part of basic remedies and besides pleasing Lords they Mantras increase flow of positive energy in our mind and body and fill us with faith and confidence. Increase our concentration and focus.
various Lords and Planets have different Mantras. Going in detail of science behind Mantra is out of context of this topic

2) Donations and charity:

Principle behind Donations and charities is the same as behind Mantras and worships. This way we try to please Lords. How? Let me explain. Every Planet rule some articles in our life. Like Saturn rules Iron, Blue sapphire etc; Sun Rules copper, ruby etc; Moon rules pearls, Mercury rules utensils, jupiter rules banana etc. Similarly Different planets have different colors under their ruling Like moon rules white, Jupiter rules yellow etc.

In simple words, we can say that every colour or article contains the energy associated with a particular planet. So If we increase use of those articles and colors in our life then effect of those planets will increase in our life and if we donate articles related to a specific planet the effect of that planet will decrease in our life.

So we donate the articles related to malefic planets for us and we use articles related to planets which are benefic for us.

It is not necessary that we have to donate costly things always. We have to donate as per our ability only. God do not want your money or article, he want to see how impartial and helping you are. for example if a person earns 100 Rs per day and he donates one rupee out of that, on the other hand a person earns one lakh rupee per day and he donate 10 Rs, then who you think will be respected more??

Even If we are not able to do charities and donations do not fit in our budget, we can help people other ways. Donations are not about getting names in newspapers, donations are about helping people. If you say a few words of sympathy to a poor person or help a blind person cross the road that too adds to your karma and makes God more happy from you than material donation to a person who doesnot need it.

3) Tantra and Sadhnas:

Tantra is also a type of worship related with remedies. They follow a little different principles and rule. To be honest, I do not know much about these remedies and I am not well verse with them. So I will not discuss these here.

4) Yantras, gems, Rudrakshas:

Again the similar principle intervenes. Yantras are designed, blessed and used to increase the energy flow of a specific planet in our body and mind. This way we try to please a planet to bless us with his positve energy. Tantras are usually effective only if they are prepared by an "Upasak" as the main role is of teh blessings associated with the yantras. However some yantras even when not bless exert their effect very effectively. We can wear Yantras or we can also worship them depending upon the remedy

Gems are stones which are ruled by specific planets and are associated with that specific planet. When we wear Gemstones they increase flow of energy associated with that planet and strengthen the effect of that planet in our chart. So we wear the gemstones of planets benefic to us and donate the gemstones of planets malefic to us.

Gemstones are one of the widely used remedies all over the world as they are easy to wear and also adds to fashion. But they are also one of the most abused remedies. By abused I mean they they are misused, misprescribed and mis judged.

Even after their wide use and high cost they are no better than donations, charities, worships and mantras. They are costly and not affordable for every one. Also they are not available as "Astrological quality". If a wrong gem is worn, or if a bad quality gemstone is worn then they can do more harm than benefits. As most of the times every planet in our chart give us mixed results. Usually no planet is completely benefic or completely malefic so it brings both the benefic and malefic results, hence gemstones related to that planet will also bring mixed results. So we should use Gemstones only after expert advice and only if we really need them.

However cheaper substitues to costly gemstones are also available which also can give good results if wisely used.

5) Behaviour modification (Aachar rasayan)

This remedy is usually least discussed and least understood and least prescribed. Like we discussed about articles. Planets also rule our behaviour. Every planet gives us a specific effect in our behaviour. Sun gives us anger, moon gives us calmness, Mercury gives us prudence, Saturn gives us grief and proud and many many more aspects of our behaviour.

If we increase a specific aspect in our behaviour we increase the effect of that planet in our life. For example when period of sun starts, then anger in increased in our behaviour by self. So if we try to control our anger and try to remain calm and be polite to people around us and control our temper the nwe can decrease the malefic effect of sun.

Similarly in periods of saturn we have tendency to take wrong decision, we can disrespect elders and our mind is usally stressed and at times we can be proudy or self centred and impatient. So if in that time if we try to be polite, humble, take our decision with proper information and calculation and invest cautiously and so on then we can decrease our losses and malefic effect of saturn to much extent.

Similarly respecting Father, helping mother, helping teachers and scholars, helping poors increase the good effect of Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Saturn respectively in our life.

These are just examples, aachar rasayan has a very wide scope in our life.

In vedic astrology, Shani is synonym of slow speed. But do you know Saturn revolve on it's own axis twice faster than earth?

Saturn completes it's day in 10 hours 34 minutes and 13 seconds.
