Guest guest Report post Posted June 20, 2001 Dear Narinder, If my memory serves me correctly you are expert in kavach (amulet) therapy. Whilst most of us have a fair knowledge of the appropriate mantras and gems our knowledge of the use of amulets is somewhat lacking. I know mine is...I know a little, but not enough to be comfortable about advising people about these...they're also more affordable than gems, I believe. Could you, for the benefit of all, tell us what you can about their use, scriptural reference to their use, etc. I have the chart of a native who is suffering a great deal in life. He would never be able to afford gems, nor would he be inclined towards mantras...could you suggest how a kavach could help in this instance.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 20, 2001 Hello Tulasi Devi, Well said. >Manoj, >I am close in agreement with you, but I know many who are highly spiriutal, >have chanted mantras "anyway," and still have had astrological problems. >In those cases I am thinking something else may be needed for them, >possibly something more materail as they are less on the material plane and >do not deal with that as directly. What do you think? >Tulasi Tulasi. In their cases they need nothing because they know the importance of suffering one's Prarabdh. They would continue to suffer and keep remembering him because they know that the sins of one's past life have to be suffered and cannot be postponed. Because they are spiritual they know it and those who are not look for remedies elsewhere. These people (spiritual) know that the one who has given sufferings is the only one empowered to obliterate it. Therefore they keep praying to him and keep suffering. I have met a number of them. One was a great person. Once after his devotee left his room, he developed ulcer in his stomach. Before meeting his devotee he was perfectly alright. He did not take any medicine. He told his followers that it is better to suffer one's bad karmas rather than finding ways and means of overcoming them or postponing them. They are not bothered with the materialistic world and therefore take no materialistic remedies. best wishes and regards, Manoj _______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

I believe in Systematic Approach and I have told Mr. Chowdhry also about it on a number of occasions. How can it be that there is no malefic planet for Mithuna lagna. Read Brihat Parashar Hora Shastra and you find that he has listed good and bad planets for each lagna. If you need to prescribe a gem, at all, (because I dont believe in gems) then go according to the running dasha. The yogas present in the horoscope are there for one's entire life but give results only when the proper dasha comes. best wishes and regards, Manoj _______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 21, 2001 Hi Liliana, Let me try and explain these terms to you : Jap : Japam means recitation of a particular mantra over and over again. We keep reciting a mantra minimum for 108 times and it completes one Mala (garland) and the continues recitation of any mantra, whether given to you by your Guru or adopted by yourself is Japam. Japa is mental and is controlled with Prana (respiration). Tapa : Tapa means Tapasya or Penance. This is physical. One atones for his sins in many ways. Tapasya is denying oneself the benefits and pleasures of materialistic life and is akin to suffering. Like if I decide to sit in a forest and keep doing a mantra or a specific religious or spiritual practice there, far from the madding crowd. Daan : Donations or Charity. Donations to needy constitute this third component. Even if you are unable to carry out the first two components, the third one, the donation or charity is again a very powerful tool and one should continue doing it. Hope it helps. with best wishes and regards, Manoj _______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 21, 2001 Dear Manoj/Tulasi, Many people are not familiar with language of mantra due to their cultural background, domicile, education. If you do some charity according to functional nature of malefic planets or offer some part of breakfast to birds which every person, religion, culture easily accepts and can perform and have tremendous results in appeasing the malefic planets.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 21, 2001 Hello Zodiac, Thank you for your reply, but I was looking for more of an explanation as to how one actually chose the particular kavach...I think the process is a bit different from how one chooses gems, etc...not sure, very not sure! For the native spoken of, his greatest difficulty (I see), is Saturn bhukti. I've seen him through his entire Mercury dasa and whilst I agree Mercury is heavily afflicted and the dasa as a whole is not easy for him, his current Saturn bhukti has brought dreadful suffering in it's wake...dreadful! I was looking for some easing of this bhukti in particular. Best Regards, Wendy > Dear Wendy, > > The appropriate kavacha for him will be Sudarshana Yantra. > > His Mercury is heavily afflicted and is ruling as the Dasa Ruler now. > > G Kumar > Vedic Astrologer > www.zodiaccomputers.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest guest Report post Posted June 21, 2001 Dear Wendy, The chart you submit is Piscean ascendant, most of Piscean suffer in relationship & marital compatibility as their 7th lord Mercury(lord of spouse)frequently conjunct with malefic planets Sun & Venus in transit. In this case his Mercury is under influence of malefic Rahu,Ketu. Emotion & children lord Moon is weak due to in the state of infancy, bed comfort lord Saturn is also 0 deg. and marital tie lord Venus is placed in house of losses. These are the reasons for obstruction in relationship & marital compatibility. Generally People ruin their life due to hasty decisions therefore one should utilize the experience of a competent astrologer for success in life thru Astral remedies. In his case strengthening of benefic Mercury & Moon by wearing of Kavach will help a great deal. I am elaborating about complete Astral remedial measures below:- There are two parts of remedial measures. 1.ASTRAL REMEDIES- To appease the malefic planets by the way of doing charities & propitiations. Through these certain & ritual charities both the transit and natal malefic planets will appease. You know in transit the planets are on their path, they make aspect and conjunction to each other. Whenever the malefic transit planets form an aspect & conjunction in the transit & nativity, it creates hurdles & obstructions in giving the results of the benefic planets. If any person do these certain ritual remedies every morning (it will take only 5-10 minutes only) it will help in reducing the evil malefic impact of the malefic planets and allow the benefic planets to shower their significance on the native. 2.-KAVACH/AMULET- This is the second part of the Astral remedial measure. Whenever in the native chart the benefic planets are weak due to its placement, strength, in the term of debilitation(weakness)and afflicted by malefic planets. In this situation the benefic planets cannot promote their significance in getting the desired results by native. For strengthening the benefic planets we advice to wear the Kavach/Amulet. The Kavach is made in Silver worn like a pendant around the neck in the elected auspicious time and it contains mystical numbers of benefic planets on it, according to their planet. It will be worn in next elected auspicious time. The auspicious time will be elected as per the geographical location(longitude-latitude) of the place of wearing Kavach by the native. Kavach is beneficial for all benefic planets in the nativity. The auspicious time is elected according to certain parameters ,i.e a) When the benefic planets in transit are not in the sign of debilitation and their placement are not in the bad houses(6th, 8th & 12th). Those houses which promote dispute, disease, theft, fire, arson, obstruction, denial, accidents, addiction, hospitalization, losses, etc. b) The placement of malefic planets should be in good houses and not near the midpoint of the ascendant, also not afflicting any benefic planets and there should be no affliction to any malefic planets. These remedies are not only recommended for the bad periods in life but also recommended for good periods because due to these remedies native gets maximum result, which will be more than the actual results of the benefic planets. As far as our research & studies goes whosoever has adopted and performed the complete Astral remedies he has definitely achieved his desires and has enjoyed his life. Generally people confuse in only functional nature of planets in other systems, this is very easy in system approach, if someone consider the functional nature of planet & its strength, he can analyse whole chart in less than 3 minutes and tell the problem without asking the quarrant. This skill will come after practicing SA regularly. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 21, 2001 I'm sorry Manoj, But I have to disagree with you strongly. What you're saying is that a native suffering stomach ulcers should not take any medication, but rather suffer his karma, otherwise he's not spiritual, but materialistic...this is terribly draconic! This line of thinking would also bar diabetics from taking any medication (remedy), or the surgeon from removing a cancerous tumour. I feel very strongly that a remedy is a remedy, is a remedy...whether it's in the form of ulcer medication, diabetic insulin, surgical operation, kavach, mantra or gem...a remedy is a remedy pure and simple! A native suffering pain will find it very difficult to turn his thoughts to the divine. A man struggling to provide for his family has no time for the divine...it's a fallacy that one needs to suffer to be spiritual. Help to eleviate man's suffering and you help him to turn within.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 21, 2001 No problems Wendy, The one who suffered this was no ordinary soul. He was an enlightened one. He was the one who did not take any solid food for 2 years before he left his body. He was taking only a "tulsi" leaf and water. Thats all. Such enlightened ones know the importance of suffering one's Prarabdh, that is the Karmas of the previous life rather than tagging it along for the next life. I have seen it happen. I fought with him out of anguish. But his advise was : Suffer your Prarabdh. Because if you try and remove it with some remedy, it would not be destroyed but would manifest in some other way in life. It has to manifest. So better suffer happily. He accepted money from no one. It is easier said than done because no ordinary soul can do such a thing. Or in other words you can say that it is easy to preach than to follow. In fact, in other words, it means total surrender to God for everything in life. And believe me, I have seen miracles happening in his presence. Earlier I also used to use the same logic and the same reasoning which you have given. But it was his presence and watching him closely that changed my views totally. They are Yogis, Sadhus in real sense. Very difficult to find in today's society and today's India. There may be some but they are not known to majority. And yes, in today's terms such people are taken as strangers, total strangers to the way of life we normally lead. And I am happy that you raised this point. You know, my way of doing things by now. Accept what appeals to you and reject what does not. with best wishes, Manoj _______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 21, 2001 Dear Manoj, Where is your atmakarak graha(charkarak)? The bad karma would certainly manifest, but the main point is to have strong mind, since the mind carries impressions of grief and happiness When such mind finds its real home, no bad karma can touch it and create greif.. However, for ordinary people grief is very real, and we should strengthen their minds by advising them, and thereby help them reach their spiritual goal.. It may take time, but it is important that the process commences..When atmakarak is strong and tapaswi yogas are found in the chart, the person has strength to suffer and endure his/her own bad karma..Look at my own chart, dhanu lagna with exalted venus in 4th house, with shani and rahu, while guru and ketu are placed in 10th house. Venus being influenced by jupiter, ketu and shani gives Tapaswi yoga, and shani being atmakarak varghotama in pisces gives strength to endure hardships. Rahu with shani create bondage of the soul by material wishes, however, shani dominates being atmakarak. I am enduring my harships and agree with what you previously said.. however, one should have tremendous strength and understanding. It cannot be expected from all people..I was blessed enough to be given Dharmakarmaadhipati Yog coupled with Saraswati Yog formed by budh and surya in 2nd house and chandra in the 1st decanate in 8th house in cancer. This knowledge of jyotisha(2/8th axis) helped me accept my destiny and bad karmas.. Other people should first of all raise their level of consciousness by mantras and prayers and then they can accept what you are saying., and which is ultimetly true..However, I personally beleive that most jyotisha would agree with you as far as their own lives are concerened..

Guest guest Report post Posted June 21, 2001 Dear Zoran, I understand Charkarakas. And I understand Atmakarak and the strength of Atmakarak but out of the seven karaka scheme not the eight one as one person in Delhi advocates. And most of us take support behind Brihat Parashar Hora Shastra that it also recommends eight Karakas. But those of them have not read one translation of BPHS which is quite an old one, much much before G.C. Sharma or Santhanam and it gives only seven Karakas and the scheme of computing Padas which is different from the eighth karaka scheme. Coming back to the subject. I agree that one has to have great inner strength. And where does that strength comes from. It comes from one's own horoscope. I am also a Dhanur lagna, (the finest sublimation point of energy) and have Dharma-karmadhipati yoga. My dear friend, I understand these yogas well. And so only, I was worried when the war had broken out in your country. My Atmakarak is also Saturn. These days, I see that the moment a person starts reading elementary astrology, he starts talking of spirituality. Especially in the West. Please note, these are general comments and not meant for anyone on the list. These are my musings. My views are quite different from most of the people but I take pride in that these views are mine and I do conform to them. I do try to adopt them. I do try to understand astrology in the right spirit. And therefore, I strongly believe in the Karma theory. I know, the use of gems, kavachs, talisman or things like that do no good in the long run. They are short term medicines. What one has to strive in life is long term remedies and these long term remedies can be achieved only through "JapTap" and "Daan". But then those believe in reincarnation would only buy this theory because they are ones who would like to improve their future births. I agree with you that one has to be strong to understand these things. I pray to god to always grant me strength to be able to withstand the vagaries of life with his benediction. I bow to him. Let me stop here. Hope you understand what I am trying to say. I dont know how many of you have had a reading done by Bhrigu Shastris in India or Palm leaf readers of Orissa. The readings in such Shastras would make you understand the futility of such remedies like gems, kavachs, talisman etc. I will quote a reading tomorrow done by Bhrigu Shastri which astonished me and made my belief in Karma theory stronger and also made me to understand the futility of short term remedies. with best wishes and best regards, Manoj _______________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 21, 2001 Dear Manoj, Thanks for this elaborate answer. Yes we do agree, and basically understand each other(being the same lagna, and atma). As far as the pada reckoning and charkarak schemes are concerned let's leave this off, to avoid confusing the beginners. Thanks Zoran Manoj Pathak wrote: > Dear Zoran, > > I understand Charkarakas.

Guest guest Report post Posted June 21, 2001 Dear Narinder, Many thanks for your reply. Your statement regarding the transit of SU, VE, ME for Pisces Lagna is something that's easily overlooked even by experienced astrologers. The obvious often gets lost in the search for other things...it's something I will always keep in mind in future...for all lagnas! There is one thing I'd like to ask in regard to the M/B status of Mercury. You referred to ME as being a benefic, but surely his moolatrikona sign manifesting as 7th house, makes him a FM for this chart...also the conjunction of Ketu would increase his malefic tendency. Obviously during ME mahadasa a kavach would be appropriate to ward off the clutches of Ketu, but I would think that at the completion of this dasa, strengthening Mercury would be unadvisable. I'm shooting a bit in the dark here on these finer points. Hope you can make it a bit clearer. My great caution is that, as we're directly influencing the planets concerned, it's paramount that we cause no harm. I am obviously quite ignorant still as to the intended effect of the kavach...I suspect it's not quite strengthening in the same way as a gem would. Can you advise us all on the subtle/philosophic difference between the two remedies. The kavach for Moon I'm completely comfortable with and will speak to him about it at my earliest opportunity. Best Regards, Wendy > Dear Wendy, > > The chart you submit is Piscean ascendant, most of Piscean suffer in > relationship & marital compatibility as their 7th lord Mercury(lord of > spouse)frequently conjunct with malefic planets Sun & Venus in transit.
