Ravindran ji, thank you for clarifying. Much appreciated.

I beg to differ ShivaParvati...USR ji is right, if there is no fear violence and hatred will stop. Fear is the root cause of all hatred, violence etc. It is fear that has made man into a deadly and dangerous animal. It is fear that drives man to dominate another, to hurt another -- because he sees himself as seperate from the "other". But when we come from a place of Love, we begin to see the Divine in all beings. We realize that all are One. There is no seperation, there is no "other". So who is going to dominate whom? So how can we hurt another? It's not possible. As long as there is fear there will be hatred, violence and all manner of evil. Religions that operate on the basis of fear instead of Love also don't help the situation either. The world would be a much more peaceful place without them. I think instead of being God fearing we need to become God loving. When there is Love in the world there will be no room for hatred and violence.

Dear Susan54, I am really sorry to hear about the loss of your much loved cats. Your cats must have been a wonderful gift from the Universe to compensate for the trials of the Kethu period -- what a lovely blessing! It is however, not uncommon for Ketu to take away what he gives you. What I understand is that Ketu's lessons are never easy...Any ways, you must be glad that Ketu dash is ending for you. Kind regards, HST108

Dear Bhairo Ji, Thanks for your reply. Sounds like they are very benevolent entities. Unfortunately I live in Tasmania and I have no hopes of finding a tantric in this part of the world. Since I am unable to determine who these beings are, is there a general way to win their favor? Kind regards, HST108

Dear Ravindran ji, Thanks for your reply. Actually the first psychic woman I went to did not use the word "elementals". I used it here for a want of a better term. But I realize that the term could be incorrect as they relate specifically to entities associated with the five elements as you have explained. May be the better term would have been "spirit beings"(?) which is a more generic term. The psychic simply described them as "wispy beings with wings" She could not tell me what they were. She also said that at first she thought they might be angels but didn't think they were angels when she looked at them more closely. During the reading these beings seemed to be showing her various things because she kept saying "now they are showing me this...." or "now they are showing me that...." so on and so forth. When I was leaving the room after the reading she pointed behind me and said that she could see them following me out of the room. The second psychic woman I visited used the word "nature spirits" which I thought was synonymous with "elementals" (but I could be again using an incorrect term) -- she described them as looking like fairies and elves out a children's story book. That is all she said about them. To answer your question -- No, I have not done any Kundalini Yoga related activities. So is it still possible that they may be Pancha Boodas? You have also mentioed yakshinis. What are they and how do they affect humans? Kind regards, HST108

Dear Pablo, I see what you mean. Actually I have no singing talent although I do enjoy good music. I have artistic abilities in drawing and painting etc, although they have always remained hobbies. My friends tell me I have a good eye for color, design etc -- so I guess that's the venusian influence.

Dear Ayush, I know that Deva Premal and Snatam Kaur are singers. Are they also known for spiritual healing work? If you know what to look for in charts to see if they indicate success in energy medicine/spiritual healing, please do elaborate. Look forward to hearing more. Thanks. Kind regards, HST108

Dear Bhairo Ji, Thanks for replying. If they are yaksas or yaksini's how should I handle them? Is there any danger of being possessed by them? How can I request their help? Are there any particular rituals? Or can I just talk to them?? Please tell me more.......... Kind regards, HST108

Hello, I wonder if someonec can explain this to me......... On a couple of occasions I went for pychic readings (by two different psychics) I was told that they saw elemental beings around me. One of them described them as "wispy beings with wings". The other described them as "elves and fairies out of a children's story book". From the perspective of Vedic sciences what does all this mean? I do believe there are many levels of spirit beings. What does it mean to have elementals beings around you??

Deepa Ji, Astro_tec Ji, Sasisekeran Ji, USR Ji and calling all other astro gurus............please provide some guidance as I need to make some long term career plans. Your help will be much apreciated. Thank you.

Hello everyone, Can anyone provide me an answer? I read somewhere that a study found that those who opt for a career in conventional medicine usually has a 10th house Saturn (not sure how true this is). I have a 10th house Saturn conjunct with Venus and Rahu. But my interets are in energy medicine not in conventional medicine. I would really apreciate some guidance. Many thanks.

Hello everyone, I am going through Ketu dasha at the moment. Surprisingly my Ketu period has not been too bad. In fact I have received some quite unlikely blessings during my Ketu period. Deepa ji pointed out that one of the Lal Kitab remedies for Ketu is to keep a dog and people have found this remedy to work. However I don't have a dog. But around the start of my Ketu period a neighbour's cat turned up and started hanging around my place for most part of the day. He is a daily visitor to my place and spends quite a lot of time sleeping in my living room. I am wondering if this is working as a Ketu remedy. Although Deepa ji pointed out that a good Ketu dasha may be due to good karma (which I think is quite logical), I am wondering if keeping a cat also works just as well as a dog remdy during Ketu dasha. I am just posting this to find out if anyone else has experienced or heard a cat remedy to work just as well as a dog remedy for Ketu.

Hello all, I have been drawn to healing work for some time now -- specifically spiritual healing practices such as pranic healing (energy medicine). Before I invest more time and energy in honing my skills in this area I would very much appreciate if some can analyse my chart and let me know if planetary influences are favotable for me to be successful in this area of work. DoB: 28/02/69 Time: 2.42pm place of birth: Colombo, Sri Lanka Many thanks. HST108

Hello, This might be an interesting case study to learn about rasi parivartan yogas. I have been looking at the chart of my husband (copied below). It seems to have two rasi paravartan yogas (please correct me if I am wrong), between Mercury (in Taurus) and Venus (in Gemini) and also between Saturn (in Scorpio) and Mars (in Aquarius). Could some one please analys this chart and elaborate on these yogas?

Hello Kavya,I am not an astrologer but I can understand the misery you are going through. My first husband wasn't violent but he made my life miserable by being pathologically jealous and possessive when I got married and went to live in the UK with him. It was a nightmare! One day I just decided to chuck it all in and go back to Sri Lanka (originally I am from Sri Lanka) although I knew very well divorce will follow and that I will also lose my UK residency. However, I did sit down and think things through rationally. I knew I had made the right decision becuase I felt really liberated when I decided to leave! Intuitively it felt right -- that is how you can know if you are doing the right thing. It was a turning point for me. Later on I emigrated to Australia, did my MSc, found work in Aussie as an environmental scientist and also got married to a really nice man I met. I am now very happily married. When I decided to empower my self it was as if the Universe was presenting me with every opportunity I needed! As an added bonus living in Aussie has turned out to be much nicer than living in the UK. Later on my ex-husband called several times to say how he regreted everything, because I was never abusive or nasty to him through out the whole ordeal. Beleive me your life is not over. When the Universe puts you in a really tight situation, it is giving you an opportunity to empower your self and be the best you can be - so this is an opportunity. If I were you, I would leave the US --that is better than being deported and at least you get to do it with dignity. And if I were you, I would leave the marriage as well -- seems like your husband is simply being who he is - a violent and abusive man. You deserve much better than that. So rise to the challenge and don't be afraid. While it is prudent to check the astrological influences, you must do your part by helping yourself. You must make the inner transformation -- that is when the Universe will reward you. I noticed that you are also being advised to pray to Ma Durga. I highly recommend it too. From personal experience I can say that she is a Formidable Force and will never fail you. She is simply awsome!Wish you good luck.

USR ji, thank you for your reply.

Dear Sasisekeran ji, Thank you very much for your reply and your well wishes. His current condition is that healthwise he has a lot of ups and downs and have been that way since he was 18. I have asked him to pray to Lord Shiva as per your advise. Thank you once again.

Dear USR ji, Thank you for your insights. You might be right about Saturn as couple of psychics have told him he will have a long life, which is also your observation. Now that you have mentioned Venus as a malefic it raises few questions about his career prospects. From the age of 18 upto about his late forties his chosen career was to make a living as an artist. At present he is in the public service. He had brief periods of success in art but in the long run he didn't get the success he would have liked to have had although lots of people considered him to be talented. According to his chart is he likely to have success in this area in the future? Or is this something he should not bother pursuing? Would it be beneficial for him (health and careerwise) to undertake any remedial measures for Venus, Mercury and Rahu? Your insights on this would be much appreciated. Many thanks.

Sasisekeran ji, that was the time noted down by the nurse at the time of birth. According to Western culture exact birth times are not that important as they usually do not get a horoscope cast when a baby is born. So it is possible that the nurse took down an approximate time.

Dear Sasisekeran ji, Thank you for your analysis. As you said, he has been very couragous in fighting his illness. As the birth time is in question could you please see if you can find the correct time of birth? I have noted that you have said it will make little difference even if it is moved by two hours, but it will be good to know the correct time. At present he has no vedic horoscope, as the birth time is in question. Many thanks.

He has had an autoimmune disease resulting in adrenal failure, blood clotting and various other sides effects of medications he is on.

Dear Bhairo ji, Thanks for the clarifications. I will do as you have instructed.

Hey Ravindran ji, you too!? May be we can compare notes on how we are progressing with this sadhana once we start our practice.

Jai Shakti Durga Mata Ki Jai!!! Dear Bhairo ji, Yes, Durga Mata has to be my ishta devata. Thank you so much for the instructions. I have a guru mantra which I obtained from Ammachi. So I will use that mantra. Just to make sure I have understood the procedure correctly: Out of the 10800 jap I must do 10% in havan (Is that correct? Is there any specific method to performing the havan?) I must do the next 10% in tarpan? (forgive my ignorance, but how do you do tarpan?) How do I perform jap of the remaining 80% When do I do the Durga chalisa. Is it after I complete the 10800 jap of the guru mantra? Sorry to ask you so many questions, but I am really keen on performing this sadhana. Please Bhairo ji, clarify the above for me. Is it OK if I contact you through a private message if I have anymore questions while I am performing this sadhana. Thank you so much for your guidance. May Durga Mata bless you!
