Guest guest Posted March 30, 2001 Report Share Posted March 30, 2001 Dear Sergey, Thanks for your elaborate, nice posts. I wish you and your town and country all the best- but the only thing that comes up to my mind is, if there are so many people willing to improve life in your beautiful town, they can join their energies in a collective prayer, in the church or somewhere else. Obviously, countries and towns have their own karma, that we can only guess about. But prayer, as a collective energy at work, I feel the most desirable: for betterment of ourselves, and our environment- I hope that creates better karma for the future. It's interesting that you implied connections btw. Russian and Sanskrit- I've always had an interest in languages, their origins, etc..Would like to know what made you think that one (language) has it's roots in another...I haven't heard about that .. There are many similar words in many languages, as MAMA, that is an universal word...Slavic languages have lots of similar words, etc..As all languages accepted lots of old Latin words- however, it doesn't imply the "root" connection, just common process of adopting new words as they come and get established meaning in one language- and that happens with all languages all the time.. If you have further info re the connections you mentioned, I'd like to hear about that, as well as if you have some references..You can send it to my address, not to bother all the listers with subject that is not of interest to majority, as I guess is the case here.

Thank you for a fruitful discussions regrading different inspiring mantras and other aspects of Vedic Astrology. Probably you could give me a helpful advice about remedy measures for a town. Usually I can imagine some or other remedy measures for a person, but what to do with a whole town. I can propose tree ideas: 1). To perform a big fire sacrifice like that of Rishis in Naimisaranya forest in the beginning of a Kali age. 2). To install a Deity, congenial to a town in a local temple at a suitable time. 3). To perform regular and blissful harinams. Below is a Rasi chart for my native town Vladivostok at a time of foundation. *---------*---------*---------*---------* | | | |Sun 18| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | *---------+---------*---------+---------* | | R A S I |Jupiter 9| | | Vladivostok |Kethu 10| | | (foundation) |Merc. 12| | | July 02, 1860 |Venus 12| *---------* 10:00 AM *---------* |Mars 7| Grinvich = +10h |Saturn 1| |Rahu 10| 131 E 54' |Lagna 9| | | 43 N 08' | | | | | | *---------+---------*---------+---------* |Moon 4| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | *---------*---------*---------*---------* Dasa of The Sun begins at Feb 17, 2003. Here Lagna is definitely Leo with an exalted yoga-karaka Mars in 6th home. Vladivostok is a strong military fort and a base of military ships. I can imagine that the most congenial Deity here is Lord Narasimha. The most worrying situation is from strong constellation with raja-yogas in 12 home. Of course an idea of moksha is quite popular here: a strong mixture of different christian confessions, buddhists, muslims, occult groups and so on. One famous (non vedic) astrologer some time ago even said that a messiah should appear here in a more distant future. But material situation is not very stable. So many dasas carry in themselves 12th home energies of a losses, natural cataclysms, blackouts etc. Note, that Vladivostok is not a hellish place: beautiful nature, not polluted yet sea, forests and hills in an area of a town. I can hardly live in any other place. But how to make stable here political and economical situation? Seemingly the next Sun dasa will be more beneficial (as lagna lord in 11-th home without afflictions). For the sake of people my friends plane to perform in Vladivostok a big agni hotra. But will it be effective remedy measure? May be an installation of Ugra Nrisimha Deity will be a solution? Process of a Deity worship could transform bad energies into spiritual course. I remember that on May 14, 1991, on Sri Nrisimha caturdashi it was very strong conflagration of a biggest bomb arsenal in Vladivostok. Total delivered energy was about two (!) Hiroshima atomic bombs. That time Krishna's temple was just on the opposite side of a hill from the arsenal. Lecture about Nrisimha and Prahlad was accorded by bomb explosives. It was feeling that Lord Narasimhadev personally visited us that time. In addition, all protective mantras devoted to Nrisimha was always very effective here. I speculate that it was a sign of a special Nrisimha's mercy upon this town. But what can you say regarding all this?

Guest guest Posted March 31, 2001 Report Share Posted March 31, 2001 Dear Saunaka Rsi Prabhu In my humble opinion your 3 ideas to protect your town are very good. I do not know if you already have a guru but by his mercy your activities will be blessed. Your guru could invite an architect to build a temple according to the rules of vastu shastra (vedic architecture). In our modern society most of the architects do not know the rules to build in harmony with nature. That is why with our ignorance we invite wars or destruction to kill the buildings. There are many ways to build but i have read about some important rules. First the guru gives the go ahead to clear the plot of land to be used. Then 12 oxen plough the soil and plants bearing seeds are planted. The seeds are supposed to absorb goshtly entities living in that land. After one or more harvests (the guru decides how many), once the soil is purified, on a suitable astrological day the architect plants a stick early in the morning and the shadow given by the stick will determine the lenght of the building. Previously, the architect requests the main donor of the temple to laid down with his arms extended. The architect takes the measure of the donor from tip to tip of his saturn fingers (middle finger) and calculates an inch in proportion. That unit of measure will be taken to draw the overall plan, including the size of doors, windows, rooms and sculptures. I do not remember if the plan of a temple is divided in 64 (8 X 8) or 91 (9 x 9) squares to allocate a demigod, star or constellation in all of them excepting a main square in the middle which is presided by Lord Brahma. The guru, astrologer and architect are supposed to chose suitable trees and quarries to first request all living entities (visible & invisible) living in them to move to another home, this is done with especial mantras on a suitable day. Once the materials and soil are ready, the construction starts with a fire ceremony. Another ceremony is done at the start of installing the frames for doors and windows and a final ceremony is performed at the opening of the building. The installation of the Deities should be done under the supervision of a guru. Once the temple and Deities are installed they will start to protect the town. In times of emergency, the performance of blissful harinams can purify even radioactive contaminated land. I hope these lines can be helpful in giving you positive ideas.
