Guest guest Posted August 21, 2004 Report Share Posted August 21, 2004 Vanakkam Kiranji, Very, very humbly: Thank you for your input. You are right about Sade Sathi (occurs 3 times in one lifetime). MahaDasha of Shani can have terrible results for certain people, not all are affected to the same degrees. Hence unfinished karma and rnanubandha comes into play (leela or maya) as lesson from Lord Shani. These can be seen as "challenges" and test of character and whether one can rise above it or not. It also can be used either as stumbling blocks or stepping stones; depends on individual perception, acceptance, surrender, faith,etc. and how they have been taught and their background, guru, Ishdevata, etc. All are connected to some degree. Hence we are conditioned to see only what we can see (whether clearly or otherwise) or "would" like to see. I did not say Shani is bad. Humbly I regard Shani as the Guru of Lessons. And for example, Shukracharya as Guru of Semen (Semen Teacher), not the physical fluid of man but the "Ojas", the divine essence. Indeed Shani is an impartial judge also. But it is his natural duty nevertheless to inflict certain situations on humans for their own good, for their ongoing evolvement. Although karmic influences are brought forth to be neutralized, how many of us would know the difference when stuck right in the middle of the influences? Many of us, during such periods, cannot see the forests for the trees. Even when God taps us on the shoulder, sometimes we would not even know how to recognize Him Yes Shani can also give great and bountiful blessings when pleased. Those who do not dread Him but pray to Him befiting a God, Guru and Friend, will reap benefits, hence recitation of His mantra and offerings. Above all, sincere devotion. How do we seek Lord Rudra's intervention so He can command and then Shani depletes negative affects? As are many paths to the Summit, there are many methods to seeking the Grace of Lord Rudra and also of Lord Shani. May I enquire which method you would use, to gain Lord Rudra's blessing that He is inclined to command or intervene? In my case my humble inclination is to seek darshan from 11 mukhi rudraksha - murti (amongst other methods; still testing others with students and patients) as this Rudraksha contains the 11 Rudras. At the same time, 11 mukhi is Lord Hanuman bead. Some old texts aeons ago were shown to me by Sri Sri MahaGyanaGuruji, (who kindly explained in English in 1967 and 1968 respectively after i buried my mother and grandmother) that mentioned Hanuman's mace controls 8 planets and his tail controls Shani who was not able to affect him, though only once when Hanuman was flying on some task and began losing ojas, then realised it was Shani's effect. Since then, Hanuman was not known to have let Shani affect Him ever again. (To other respected friends here::: Some kindly friends here may have access to this particular reference or indeed read it somewhere or studied it in Devanagari; if so, please can you quote the relevant verses for us here in English? Will be highly appreciated..thanking you in advance.) In recent years, there is a trilogy of books written by Dr. Robert E. Svoboda titled "Aghora: At The Left Hand of God", and another 2 whose tites I cannot remember. I was told by a friend who read them, that one of the volumes contains the same info as told to me in 1967 and 1968. Thus, I salute Dr. Svoboda's books and efforts to share with the world what his Guruji and Spiritual Father, Sri Sri Vilmananda taught him during his days between Pune studying Ayurveda and Mumbai at the feet of his guru. Ok, to some folks, I was told his books read like fiction but after hearing certain references, I humbly tend to believe they are not fictitious although names in the book were changed for protecting the privacy of characters mentioned in his books. Please note: I am not a practicing Jyotishi but rather an obscure gypsy in the shadows who studies from everyone and everything. Everyone here and Everything are my Teachers. I salute the divine in all. Even if I were ever to have some tiny knowledge of Jyotish, I would be inclined to take into account various other aspects of a person's birth details and draw from all sources before making a suggestion for a remedy.

Where as transit of shani in 12th, 1st & 2nd house from Moon's position in the chart is known as 'sade sathi' or 'seven & half years' of Shani's transit. It takes approximately two & half years for Shani to transit a rashi ie a zodiac sing of 30 degrees. This can occur three times in a person's life. Though a malefic in nature, Shani is not a bad planet. He is an impartial judge. During his transit in the above said rashi's, one's Karmic balances are brought forth only to be neutralized. During this period, in between Shani is supposed to give unexpected bounties of good blessings. One need not dread him. Reciting Shani mantra will tone down the miseries. And at Lord Rudra's command Shani's bad effects, rather our own bad karma's are depleted during this transit. > > Pranams > Kiran > > > Simone <syzenith> wrote: > Naamste Hiroji, > > Not necessary to thank me, please thank Lord Shiva instead > > i remember you from long time ago from Canada ) Hope I'm talking > to right person, that is if I'm not mistaken about your ID.. > > For wearing, there are small beads of 7 mukhi available between 7mm > to 10mm I think.....
