IIOmII II Gurur Brahma gurur Vishnu gurur devo Maheshwarah, Guru sakshat parabrahma tasmai shri gurve namah II Respected members, namaste I have one basic question on Calculation of Gandanta. I have come across 2 school of thoughts. FIRST While reckoning the gandanta in terms of the arc of the zodiac, we must take last 66.67 arc min of the last Nakshatra of the watery signs and the first 40 arc mins of the first Nakshatra of the fiery signs. SECOND Gandanta means planet between last 3 deg of jalatatwa rasi and first 3 deg of agnitatva rasi For example – If the Birth takes place when lagna is between ‘Aslesha (Cancer) – Magha (Leo) junction’, then which of the following is correct As per first school of thought – Lagna Gandanta Dosha exists only when the Lagna is between 0 Le 40’00.00" and 29 Cn 33’40.20" As per first school of thought – Lagna Gandanta Dosha exists only when the Lagna is between 3 Le 00’00.00" and 27 Cn 00’00.00" I sincerely look forward for your kind guidance on this. Best regards, Mandar

Dear It is factually incorrect to predict the phala purely based on the planet position in lagna kundali without referring to the devisional chart. Here afflicted ketu makes native tale-bearer, he always resorts to speak untruth and will be afflicted by windy dieses (afflicted Jupiter) or by rheumatism (afflicted saturn) If heavily afflicted, then suffers from mouth dieses, faces opposition from family members, gets responsibility as care taker of large family, always speak hastily without thinking of the consequences and hurting others. If this krtu is afflicted by moon, then native invites troubles due to his speech. If this ketu receives devine aspects from strong guru and shukra then native gets recognition in the family, feeds many peoples (anna dharma), laways performs punyacharan beneficial to family members, non materialistic attitude. best regards, mandar II Shubham Bhavatu II

Respected Shri. Sandhuji, you are absolutely phenomenal as usual.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:" /><o:p></o:p> Please allow me add some important rules while predicting the results of Gulika placed in different houses that I have learnt from BPHS.<o:p></o:p> As per saga Parashara, before declaring these results, the effects of Surya and other Grahas should be wisely conceived by their positions, relations and Drishtis apart from their strength, or weakness Sign depositors of these aprakashgrahas and upgrahas should be scutinised first to know the extent of effects.<o:p></o:p> For example, Gulika is suppose to give bad effects but it's depositor is well placed, well aspected then these bad effects will get minimised.<o:p></o:p> Example - Jataka born with simha lagna and Gulika in first house <o:p></o:p> Now since gulika is in lagna, he shall have weak constitution and body prone to diseases, but if the lagnesh Surya is placed in 9<SUP>th</SUP>, exalted and not receiving any affliction, will give a sound body constitution (Jeevanshakti). If the Shani is also well placed alongwith Guru then it will give good built (masculine). Hence, the bad effect of placement of Gulika in lagna are minimized to the maximum extent since it’s sign depositor is very well placed in the chart.<o:p></o:p> Another example - if Gulika is placed in 11th, hence good results are due but the graha (navgrahas) placed in 11th is afflicted, then the relative strength of the gulika compared with that graha will decide the extent of the results.<o:p></o:p> Effects of Gulika in Various Houses (Reference BPHS) <o:p></o:p> First House: the native will be afflicted by diseases, be lustful, sinful, crafty, wicked and very miserable.<o:p></o:p> Second House: the native will be unsightly in appearance, miserable, mean, given to vices, shameless and penniless.<o:p></o:p> Third House: the native will be charming in appearance, will head a village, be fond of virtuous men and be honoured by the king.<o:p></o:p> Fourth House: the native will be sickly, devoid of happiness, sinful and afflicted due to windy and billious excesses.<o:p></o:p> Fifth House: the native will not be praise-worthy, be poor, short-lived, spiteful, mean, be a eunuch, be subdued by his wife and be a heterodox.<o:p></o:p> Sixth House: the native will be devoid of enemies, be strong-bodied, splendourous, liked by his wife, enthusiastic, very friendly and helpful in disposition.<o:p></o:p> Seventh House: the native will subdue to his spouse, be sinful, will go to others’ females, be emaciated, devoid of friendship and will live on his wife’s wealth.<o:p></o:p> Eighth House: the native will be troubled by hunger, be miserable, cruel, very much short-tempered, very unkind, poor and bereft of good qualities.<o:p></o:p> Ninth House: the native will undergo many ordeals, be emaciated, will perform evil acts, be very unkind, sluggish and be a talebearer.<o:p></o:p> Tenth House: the native will be endowed with sons, be happy, will enjoy many things, be fond of worshipping gods and fire and will practice meditation and religion.<o:p></o:p> Eleventh House: the native will enjoy women of class, be a leader of men, be helpful to his relatives, be short stature and be an emperor.<o:p></o:p> Twelfth House: the native will indulge in base deeds, be sinful, defective-limbed, unfortunate, indolent and will join mean people. Best regards, Mandar<o:p></o:p>

Respected Members of this forum, I will highly appreciate if someone can enlighten me on 'Kumaara Ganapathi mantra' - Text in Devanagri and the special purpose when this mantra proves to be very effective. Best Regards, Mandar

Dear You have already made a decision and hence there is no merit in studying the chart from matching perspective. Have a faith in the supreme power and pray to her sincerely, he is the one who controls our destiny. Homa and worship to please Godess Katyayani (One of the Nav Durgas) is considered as beneficial to overcome the obstacles in Married life and to improve the harmony and understanding between the couple. Best regards, Mandar II Shubham Bhavatu II

Respected Shri.Sandhuji, I have gone thru your thread 'How to determine black magic from horoscope'. Simply excellent .. very informative .. i keep on referring different ancient texts but there is no direct reference of the combinations that may make a jataka susceptible to the different prayogas representing the dark side of tantra vidya.

Dear sow. Kalpana - Apart from Kal Sarpa Dosha in your Lagna Kundali, there is Nag Dosha appearing in your Navmansa Kundali {Jupiter with Rahu in Navamansa lagna and fifth lord Moon trapped in Rahu / Ketu Axis}. Also aspect of Saturn, Mars and Gulika on the fifth house in lagna kundali is not favourable. You may refer to my thread 'Distinct combinations in kundali for Nag Dosha and Remedial Measures' for more infomration. Best regards, Mandar II Shubham Bhavatu II

Dear Esteemed Members , Distinct combinations in Kundali which may indicate ‘Sarpa Dosha’ mentioned by me in this thread are taken from BPHS. Please refer to ‘Purvajanmashapdyotnadhyaya’ {Effects of Curses in the previous birth} – sloka 9 to 16 under ‘shyapdnyannirupana’ In this chapter saga parashara has stated the Causes and Effects of Curses in the previous birth and the remedial measures stated by Lord Shiva to godess Parvati. Best Regards, II Shubham Bhavatu II

Dear Kris, I don't get time to watch otherwise I will love to do so. best regards, mandar

Respected Ms. Anusha, You are most welcomed. My sincere suggesstions to you and all the readers to share this information amongst all your friends. Who knows, it may benefit someone suffering from this dosha and is completely clueless on the remedial measures. I have seen most of the couples seek guidance from experts when they actually experience or feel the impact in their real life. I sincerely wish that all the newly married couples should learn about this and adopt the remedial measures pro-actively. Best regards, Mandar

Respected Shri Sandhu ji,<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:" /><o:p></o:p> I have gone thru your thread on ‘A blind chart and Kaal sarp dosh, Very interesting Case Please participate ‘.<o:p></o:p> The knowledge shared by you, respected deepa ji and respected usr ji is very very informative.

Dear Anusha – I am also a learner like you. Please refer to the new thread created by me today - Distinct combinations for Sarpa Dosha and Remedial Measures. In this new thread I have elaborated further on ‘Sarpa Dosha’ which is also referred as ‘Nag Dosha’ or ‘Sarpa Shap Yoga’ (Curse of a Serpant). I have observed that there are a lot of forums giving valuable insight on ‘Kaalsarpa Yoga / Dosha’ but the information on ‘Nag Dosha’ is not commonly available, and hence I posted an elaborate response. Trust this helps. best regards, mandar

Dear All - I am opening a new thread here to answer the question posed by Anusha to my explanations in the thread ‘Kaal Sarp Dosha’ posted by anIndian. I sincerely request all the readers reading this thread to share this information with their peers suffering from similar problems. Her Question was – <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:" /><o:p></o:p> You said "any other sarpa dosha".Will you please enlighten us with the different types of sarpa dosha & locations of Ragu&Ketu in each so that it helps the learners like me? Dear Anusha – I am also a learner like you. What is ‘Sarpa Dosha’<o:p></o:p> I will elaborate further on ‘Sarpa Dosha’ which is also referred as ‘Nag Dosha’ or ‘Sarpa Shap Yoga’ (Curse of a Serpant). I have observed that there are a lot of forums giving valuable insight on ‘Kaalsarpa Yoga / Dosha’ but the information on ‘Nag Dosha’ is not commonly available, and hence I am writing this elaborate response. Sarpa dosha appears in a kundali as a result of killing of snakes in previous life or from killing of snakes by fore fathers/father or self in previous births and not performing the rites (samskaras) to give the sadgati to the soul of killed snake.<o:p></o:p> This dosha may lead to the truncation of the family tree. Whenever such couple is expecting a child, either miscarriage happens or some circumstances may get developed leading to abortion. In some cases, even if the birth takes place, there is a strong likely hood of the child developing some minor / major health related issues keeping his parents constantly worried about his / her health.<o:p></o:p> One distinct indication that confirms this dosha is – a lady or her husband expecting a child either gets frequent dreams or actually happen to see a Serpent sitting or appearing in any position with his tale wound around an object. Distinct combination in Kundali which may indicate ‘Sarpa Dosha’ – <o:p></o:p> 1. Rahu in fifth house receiving aspect from mars 2. Rahu in fifth house either in mesha rashi or in vrishchik rashi 3. Fifth lord or Moon in fifth house aspected by or associated with Sani – Rahu 4. Jupiter in first house (lagna) with mars and rahu and lord of fifth house is afflicted 5. Mesha or Vrishchik rasi in fifth house either with afflicted mercury or aspected by afflicted mercury 6. Jupiter – Rahu in the first house (lagna) with lord of fifth house placed in dusthana 7. Fifth house or lord of fifth house or Jupiter linked with rahu either by association or by aspect <o:p> </o:p> Views from Bhrigu Sutras, Phaladeepika and Chamatkar Chintamani on Rahu / Ketu in Fifth House<o:p></o:p> Bhrigu Sutras >> Sutras 11-13: The native will have no children or suffer loss of children due to wrath of the Serpent God. He will have children after conducting Pooja of Naga Pratima. The native will suffer from windy diseases and indulge in sinful deeds. He will suffer from wrath of the king and will live in undesirable places.<o:p></o:p> Phaladeepika: Rahu-The native will be childless, hard hearted and will suffer from stomach ailments. Ketu-The native will suffer from loss of children. He will be of evil nature and unwise. He may also suffer from 'Pishacha Badha'.<o:p></o:p> Chamatkar Chintamani: Rahu-The native will get a son. He will always be worried on account -of his wife. He will suffer from stomach ailments. Ketu-The native will suffer from stomach ailments. He will not get many children. In spite of being courageous he will remain dependent on others.<o:p></o:p> Remedial Measures<o:p></o:p> Following remedial measures are considered to be very effective in minimizing the impact of this dosha and making it from severe to moderate/negligible. A proper medical diagnosis and a suitable treatment coupled with these supportive measures always give a very positive reasults on progeny related issues. Sarpa samskara or Ashlesha Bali at Srikshetra Kukke Subrahmanya, Karnataka<o:p></o:p> Persons who are afflicted with this dosha are advised to perform remedial measures like Sarpa samskara or Ashlesha Bali for the well being of self and the future generations. Ahlesha , Vishakha, Bharani, Krittika and some other constellations are considered in auspicious as per the traditional school of thought. Remedial Measures can be done either by the person afflicted if he is a male and married, or through a priest. This is because the pooja involves rituals similar to the ones done in performing shraadh (death rites). Kukke Subrahmanya is a temple located in the small, rural village of Subramanya in the Western Ghats of Karnataka, India, about 105 km from Mangalore. This temple is one of the famous pilgrimage sites in India. Here the God Subrahmanya is worshipped for his divine power as a snake as the epics relate that the divine serpent Vasuki and other snakes found safety under God Subrahmanya.

Both these holy places have their own Sthalamahatmya mentioned in Vedas and Upnishdas. Trimbakeshwar is a religious center having one of the twelve Jyotirlingas. The extraordinary feature of the Jyotirlinga located here is its three faces embodying Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu and Lord Rudra.<o:p></o:p> In this ritual the funeral is performed on the body of snake made with wheat dough. An artificial body mostly made of wheat flour is used. The references relating to this age-old tradition are found in Skandh Puran, Padma Puran and Dharma Sindhu. <o:p></o:p> Any one of these places can be chosen depending upon the convenience or the proximity to these places. <o:p> </o:p> Nag Chaturthi Vrat<o:p></o:p> I am sharing the details for this, which I have received from one of the learned and esteemed astrologer Nag chaturthi is done in shravan masa. Upavasa [fast on chaturthi] is kept. Rosting or cooking activities are not permitted on that day in the house. Lighting fire, grinding and cutting activities are strictly disallowed on the day of fast. <o:p></o:p> One shall offer milk , raw rice floor mixed with jaggery, sesame and jaggery mix , rice floor with pepper, dry coconut cup to Shesha [nag murthy-idol] . The same should be offered to the main door frame entrance of the house by the upasak (one who has undertaken this vrat) or the lady of the house. <o:p></o:p> Shloka to be chanted - || sheshantargat bharathi ramana mukhyapranantargata Laxmisahit anantpadnabhaya namaha || srikrishnarpana. <o:p></o:p> Upasak should repeat the same in the evening , repeat next day morning the offering [ perform aarti], offer dakshina and vastra to the bramhins ,and take meals with the family . If the upasak can afford then he shall donate silver naga kept in vessel full of ghee to the bramhin. <o:p></o:p> This vrat should be performed every year. Vishnu Sahasranama<o:p></o:p> Chanting Vishnu Sahasranama or devotionally listening to it brings amazing benefits including avoiding evil, succeeding in battle, removing fear, avoiding calamity, and being cured of disease.<o:p></o:p> Bhishma pitamaha quote on Vishnu Sahasranama - That man who hears the names every day or who recites them every day, never meets with any evil either here or hereafter.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> PLEASE NOTE that the article written above is more of a source of collective information AND it is extremely important to consult your family/community priest or Guru or Trusted learned scholars on this subject in your near vicinity before undertaking any / all the above mentioned remedial measures. Particularly for any vrata, the underlying rules including the purity of body, thoughts and aacharana are extremely important to be adhered to.<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> I request esteemed members from this forum to please correct me, if required. <o:p></o:p> II Shubham Bhavatu II

Dear Friend - I am sharing some information that i have with me. Trust this helps....cheers .. mandar Remedial Measures for Kala Sarpa Dosha : Kala Sarpa dosha plays an important role in the native's life. If a native is under the influence of Kala Sarpa dosha, the native may face sudden rise and fall in the life. This dosha may cause the native to be separated from his family life, loss of huge wealth and fame, sudden danger to life, and even the native may also indulge in unlawful and unethical activities. Kala Sarpa dosha is generally believed that one of the karmic dosha that may run across the generations. A combination of remedies and ethical, simple living on the part of natives can overcome the dosha. Regular performance of santi pooja on Shahsti Thithi and chanting the 108 names of Lord Nataraj and occasional visits to temples like Sri Kalahasti in Andhra Pradesh and Tirunageswaam may help the native. A holy dip in river in Rameswaram and offer oblations to ancestors will help in removing the curses of piturs if that is the reason for the dosha running in the family. Other Remedies: 1. Japam has to be performed separately for Kuja, Rahu and Ketu. 2. Those who are not financially sound may perform pooja to Lord Subramaneswara Swami temple for a minimum of seven Tuesdays. 3.

Since last 8 months, they are observing some change in his behavior towards positivity, he is at least trying now to secure some work. He is also suggested to perform Katyayani Pooja by one of his well wisher. I have suggested him in past to visit shiva temple daily and chant the holy 'panchakshari mantra' maximum number of times possible sitting in the temple and concentrating on shivlinga. On and off, he is following my suggesstions and now your kind suggesstions for him almost confimrs the authenticity of my remedial measures suggested.
