Respected Shri. Sandhu ji, Many thanks for your kind words of wisdom. I totally agree with you, i always chany 'kshama prarthana' at the end of my daily pooja, it's very important. If someone doesn't get time to chant complete ramraksha then the stanza - "Ram Rameti Rameti Rme Rame Manorame Sanstra Nam Tattulyam Ramnam Varanane" can atleast be chanted. Please do correct me if I am stating something incorrect. best regards, mandar

many thanks to you monica for the remedies suggested, I will pass your message to him. cheers, mandar

Respected All, <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:" /><o:p> </o:p> When learned astrologers recommend to worship ‘Lord Narayana’, it goes without saying that upasana of godess Laxmi should also be practiced simultaneously. <o:p> </o:p> Laxmi upasana is a must, if you want to please lord Narayana. <o:p> </o:p> Most of the stotras for Vishnu upasana written by Vaishnava scholars always start with the name of goddess laxmi. In fact, lord narsimha is always called by name Laxmi narsimha. <o:p> </o:p> Following are the some of the important stotras used to please goddess laxmi – <o:p> </o:p> ~Sri Sukta ~Argala Stotra from Durga Saptashati <o:p> </o:p> Highly recommended – if you know Sanskrit (anvaya) then you can chant otherwise listen to it devotionally <o:p> </o:p> ~Sri Mahalaxmi Gayatri <o:p> </o:p> or otherwise you may daily chant for 9/18/27 times or listen devotionally to Sri Mahalaxmi Gayatri <o:p> </o:p> II Mahalaxmicha Vidmahe Vishnupatnicha Dhimahi Tanno Laxmi Prachodayat II <o:p> </o:p> <o:p></o:p>Other respected members can correct me if I have mentioned anything incorrect here.

Respected Members, namaste <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:" /><o:p> </o:p> I have few questions on Aatmakaraka Karkamsa and present incarnation <o:p> </o:p> A. I want to learn more on the deeper meaning of Karakamsa and its relation with Karma. I mean whether it is possible to clearly interpret the basic reason why a jataka has taken a birth (current incarnation) based on the Aatmakaraka Planet and its Karkamsa?<o:p></o:p> <o:p> </o:p> B. What does it signifies if Aatmakarak is also Yogkaraka? Aatmakaraka is Natural Benefic and Exalted / Debilitated? Aatmakaraka is Natural Malefic and Exalted / Debilitated? Aatmakaraka is Retrograded? Aatmakaraka is Vargottama? Aatmakaraka is in Gandanta? <o:p> </o:p> C. Saga Parashara has mentioned in BPHS under Chapter - Effects of Karakāńś – If the karakamsa is Meena, it will grant the final emancipation to Jataka. What does this mean? <o:p> </o:p> D. What is the relationship between each graha as aatmakaraka and associated reason why a jataka has taken a birth (current incarnation)? <o:p> </o:p> I sincerely look forward for your divine guidance on this. <o:p> </o:p> Best regards, Mandar

Respected Shri. Sasisekaran<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:" /><o:p></o:p> namaste<o:p></o:p> Thank you for your kind guidance. I have just started learning astrology and guidance from veterans like you will help me immensely in fine tuning my approach.<o:p></o:p> My following observation made me feel that there is some inherent strength in this chart –<o:p></o:p> ~ Exhalted Sun represents a mature soul who always strive for the aatmagati – (Ref. BPHS) placed in 10th with lagnesh (moon) 10 degrees apart<o:p></o:p> ~ Vargottam Ascendant<o:p></o:p> ~ Vargottam Jupiter aspecting Saturn and mars combo will reduce the evil effects of this yuti and may help the soul in aatmagati (aspect on 12th house)<o:p></o:p> ~Aatmakarak is also vargottam in Meena karkamsa {Ref - BPHS under Chapter - Effects of Karakāńś – If the karakamsa is Meena, it will grant the final emancipation to Jataka.}<o:p></o:p> Best regards,<o:p></o:p> Mandar<o:p></o:p>

Respected Deepa ji, I have read your explaination on swamsa and jivamuktamsa in this thread. It's very informative. In my case, jivamuktamsa contains Mars and Ketu in kumbha rashi, rahu aspecting jivamuktamsa from simha rashi and Retrograded Jupiter aspecting jivamuktamsa from tula rashi. My Birth details are - DOB - 3rd May 1971 TOB - 3:05 PM POB - Kolhapur (Maharashtra State) - 74E13, 16N42 I look forward for your divine guidance on my Ishta Devta. Best regards, Mandar

Respected Shri.Amatuer, Both the latitude and longitude are correct. It's Kolhapur from Maharashtra State Best regards, Mandar

Respected Members, I want to put forward an interesting case about one of my Acquaintance. The kundali when glanced looks strong, but the reality is totally different .. Birth-date – 23 April 1974 Time – 11:45 AM Location – Kolhapur (Longitude – 74E13, Latitude – 14N42) This boy took 8 year time to complete a 3 year diploma course (1989 – 1997). Since then he is sitting at home without doing any constructive work. He got a job 3 to 4 times due to influence of his relatives from maternal side but was not able to pursue the same due to some obstacles (sudden illness in 2000, conflict with peers etc.) He suffered from a major viral infection in 2000 and was detected for Juvenile Diabetes in 2002. Recently, he got a job with call centre in May 2008, he did it for 3 months but left the same because he was not paid, he got some small incentive for good work but they did not pay him the salary for 3 months. He blames his old parents for his own destiny and takes out his entire frustration on them making their life miserable. His old parents have a big question - When will he get settled down in his life? Is it advisable to look for an alliance for him (seeing his peers getting married, he is asking his parents to find for a suitable match for him soon). Is there any chance of him to settle down with a stable source of income? Finally - is there an element of BLACK MAGIC involved here? I am putting forward this case for your kind guidance on remedial measures. Best regards Mandar
