Sarbaniji, Need guidance on whom to pray for Rahu

[Guest guest]

I was following your 2004 Nagpur Conf and came to a part

where you were talking about opposite pairs of planets and if someone has an

afflicted Rahu then they can benifit by praying to the opposite planet which

was mentioned to be Mercury (Vishnu)

 

Also you had mentioned that if this planet happens to be special like an AK or

an Ishta Devata then it would be an added bonus

 

I have Sa + Ke in Capricorn lagna, and Mars + Ra in 7th and all totally in line

in the middle of the house, I am running Ra-Ve dasha and Ra period has been not

so good since 1999. I therefore think that my Rahu is afflicted and I need to

make special prayer to some God.

 

I did my calculations and the AK-Moon in 8th has unoccupied Virgo in D9 and

Mercury was therefore my Ishta Devata. Pdt Sanjayji in another lecture had

listed all but left Mercury open and said go figure, Budh.

However you in this context had suggested Vishnu and Mallikarjuna in particular.

 

I have two questions

1. I thought Rahu to be an afflictor than get afflicted.

Does it get afflicted when it get together with Jupiter or is in its debilitated sign Scorpio?

 

2. You had suggested Durga for Rahu elsewhere because Durga killed the demon. I

was therefore wondering if I should pray to both. Currently I have them all,

and Durga is in the center. An astrologer in another group had suggested

Ganapathy and I have several of those. However recently I gifted away my Buddha

to a parting colleague and wondering if I should replace it with another one,

just to be safe.

 

I would also be grateful if you can suggest a generic mantra for me and

remedies, because I think I need some. I am also under a sade-sati attack, and

am seeking help

Thanks

Shri Brahmadaru Smarami

 

Dear Soumit,

 

Rahu can be controlled by Jupiter, exposed by the Sun, crushed by Mercury,

depending on individual charts. The reason Mercury can crush Rahu, is because

of its opposition in the Kala Chakra. One of the best ways to propitiate

afflicted planets is to worship the deity of the planet opposite to it in the

Kala Cakra, as planets placed in opposition therein can counter each other.

Mercury and Rahu; Saturn and Mars; Sun and Venus have the ability to completely

suppress the other. Hence, the deity of Mercury can be worshipped to crush a

malefic Rahu. Deities may be worshipped at various levels: as saktis of the

planets, as forms of Vishnu or as the deities associated with the tithis. For

example, Rama is worshipped on Navami, Ganesha on Caturthi, Sarasvati on

Pancami, Siva on Caturdasi etc.

 

Rahu in your chart has a peculiar position. It is placed in the malefic 1/7 axis

causing Kuja Stambhana, Sarpa Yoga and ruining the 7th house. It is afflicting

your AK Moon, aspecting it in the rashi and conjoined it in the navamsha.

Surya is debilitated and there is mutual aspect of Jupiter and Rahu. Jupiter is

also in Rahu's nakshatra. This leaves Mercury. Vishnu shines in your chart from

whichever angle I look at it! Mercury is exalted in the 9th house, which is the

Vishnu sthana. As the 9th lord of your chart it is in Brahma shastiamsa. Mercury

is your ishta devata. Mercury is your Dharma Devata. Interestingly, it is placed

in its own sign in navamsa. In Vimsamsa, it is the 5th lord of bhakti placed in

a kendra. In Shastiamsa, if your D-60 is correct, it is in the 5th from lagna,

which shows what you need to worship to rectify the karmas of the present

birth.

 

The peculiar thing is Rahu is also Bhratrikaraka and is in the Karamkamsha. So

if you worship Vishnu as guru it may be a good idea. Krishna mantras in

particular can be good for you as he is the Jagatguru (remember Om Krishna

Guru?). Jagannath himself is guru. Vyasa is a guru and in the Vishnu

sahasranama, Vyasa and Vishnu are worshipped interchangeably (vyasaya

vishnurupaya vyasarupaya vishnave). You need to activate that Mercury.

 

The adhi and pratyadhi devatas of Mercury is Vishnu and Narayana. As ishta

devata and dharma devata mantra, I would think Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya is

ideal for you. We usually use this mantra rather than Buddhadevaya. Your

Mercury is in the 2nd drekakana of a dual sign, which indicates Vishnu avatar.

Dual signs are full of akash tatva. This is the mantra par excellence as

recommended by the Bhagavat Purana. It is not merely Krishna but the nirguna

Narayana that you are worshipping through this mantra. He who dwells (vasa) in

all the bhutas: sarva bhuta nivasosi vasudeva namastute. Per se you can chant

any Vishnu and Narayan mantra whenever you want: your chart allows you that.

Even a simple Om Vishnave Namah is good for you.

 

And yes, you can happily worship Durga, given the conjunction of Rahu and Moon

and the malefic influences on your 5th house in rashi which indicates female

deities. The 5th sign is Taurus an even and a feminine sign lorded by a

feminine planet, Venus. Rahu does not get afflicted, but maybe particularly

malefic in a person's chart. Rahu is the demon, and the one who killed it was

the Moon (Gouri), a Moon which was very Martian, that is Durga. Venus is also

placed in a Martian sign, and it is your Dara Karaka. I would think a Chamunda

mantra may be more appropriate, like the navarna mantra Aim Hrim Klim

Chamundayai Vichhai. This would take care of 7th house and UL problems.

 

Yes you have started sade sati and ardha kantaka. In Leo, you would be passing

though ashtam shani. Please start reciting the Chamakam. If you can, recite the

sri rudram as well.

 

Best Regards,

 

Sarbani

[Guest guest]

Many thanks for your input which I was desperately seeking for.

I was running a Ra-Ke dasha until a month or so ago, and had somewhat fructified

the prophecy of finding my Ishta Devata in that antardasha. I had zeroed in on

Mercury, but I wasnt sure until now.

Again many thanks for the direction and the prescription.

Your second coat to the lectures I have already heard was well

reinforcing. However I missed the Mallikarjuna part, and what I should worship

on dwadashi, and I thought that one more thing that jives is that Mercury is my

birth vara lord too.

In another board, I was prescribed 12 weeks of Tue & Thu and

prayers & propiations(like being veggie), to Lord Subramania which is popular

in southern India as a remedy for sarpa dosha. I will be doing that too in

order to spread my bets, thought I share that with you.

Regards & Best Wishes

malefic in a person's chart. Rahu is the demon, and the one who killed it was

the Moon (Gouri), a Moon which was very Martian, that is Durga. Venus is also

Subject: [Om Krishna Guru] Sarbaniji, Need guidance

on whom to pray for Rahu

Dear Sarbaniji,

I was following your 2004 Nagpur Conf and came to a part

where you were talking about opposite pairs of planets and if someone has an

afflicted Rahu then they can benifit by praying to the opposite planet which

was mentioned to be Mercury (Vishnu)

 

Also you had mentioned that if this planet happens to be special like an AK or

an Ishta Devata then it would be an added bonus

 

I have Sa + Ke in Capricorn lagna, and Mars + Ra in 7th and all totally in line

in the middle of the house, I am running Ra-Ve dasha and Ra period has been not

so good since 1999. I therefore think that my Rahu is afflicted and I need to

make special prayer to some God.

 

I did my calculations and the AK-Moon in 8th has unoccupied Virgo in D9 and

Mercury was therefore my Ishta Devata. Pdt Sanjayji in another lecture had

listed all but left Mercury open and said go figure, Budh.

However you in this context had suggested Vishnu and Mallikarjuna in particular.

 

I have two questions

1. I thought Rahu to be an afflictor than get afflicted.

Does it get afflicted when it get together with Jupiter or is in its debilitated sign Scorpio?

 

2. You had suggested Durga for Rahu elsewhere because Durga killed the demon. I

was therefore wondering if I should pray to both. Currently I have them all,

and Durga is in the center. An astrologer in another group had suggested

Ganapathy and I have several of those. However recently I gifted away my Buddha

to a parting colleague and wondering if I should replace it with another one,

just to be safe.

 

I would also be grateful if you can suggest a generic mantra for me and

remedies, because I think I need some. I am also under a sade-sati attack, and

am seeking help

Thanks

Dear Soumit,

 

The jyotirlingas is worshipped as the atmalinga. We have many calculations to

derive the form of Shiva which has given us birth, but the simplest way to

worship the atmalinga is to worship the corresponding jyotirlinga to your AK.

Your atmakaraka is the Moon, which represents the Somnatha linga. So the mantra

for that would be Om Namah Shivaya Somnathaya Haum Jum Sah.

 

Rahu is the cause of Sarpa Yoga, Sarpa Dosha etc. So one should do mantras to

control him and check his malfeasance. For Mars for you, I would still stick to

worshipping Chamunda. This takes care of your Mars and your Rahu.

 

Best Regards,

guidance on whom to pray for Rahu

Dear Sarbaniji,

Many thanks for your input which I was desperately seeking for.

I was running a Ra-Ke dasha until a month or so ago, and had somewhat fructified

the prophecy of finding my Ishta Devata in that antardasha. I had zeroed in on

Mercury, but I wasnt sure until now.

Again many thanks for the direction and the prescription.

Your second coat to the lectures I have already heard was well

reinforcing. However I missed the Mallikarjuna part, and what I should worship

on dwadashi, and I thought that one more thing that jives is that Mercury is my

birth vara lord too.

In another board, I was prescribed 12 weeks of Tue & Thu and

prayers & propiations(like being veggie), to Lord Subramania which is popular

in southern India as a remedy for sarpa dosha. I will be doing that too in

order to spread my bets, thought I share that with you.

Shri Brahmadaru Smarami

 

Dear Soumit,

 

Rahu can be controlled by Jupiter, exposed by the Sun, crushed by Mercury,

depending on individual charts. The reason Mercury can crush Rahu, is because

of its opposition in the Kala Chakra. One of the best ways to propitiate

afflicted planets is to worship the deity of the planet opposite to it in the

Kala Cakra, as planets placed in opposition therein can counter each other.

Mercury and Rahu; Saturn and Mars; Sun and Venus have the ability to completely

suppress the other. Hence, the deity of Mercury can be worshipped to crush a

malefic Rahu. Deities may be worshipped at various levels: as saktis of the

planets, as forms of Vishnu or as the deities associated with the tithis. For

example, Rama is worshipped on Navami, Ganesha on Caturthi, Sarasvati on

Pancami, Siva on Caturdasi etc.

 

Rahu in your chart has a peculiar position. It is placed in the malefic 1/7 axis

causing Kuja Stambhana, Sarpa Yoga and ruining the 7th house. It is afflicting

your AK Moon, aspecting it in the rashi and conjoined it in the navamsha.

Surya is debilitated and there is mutual aspect of Jupiter and Rahu. Jupiter is

also in Rahu's nakshatra. This leaves Mercury. Vishnu shines in your chart from

whichever angle I look at it! Mercury is exalted in the 9th house, which is the

Vishnu sthana. As the 9th lord of your chart it is in Brahma shastiamsa. Mercury

is your ishta devata. Mercury is your Dharma Devata. Interestingly, it is placed

in its own sign in navamsa. In Vimsamsa, it is the 5th lord of bhakti placed in

a kendra. In Shastiamsa, if your D-60 is correct, it is in the 5th from lagna,

which shows what you need to worship to rectify the karmas of the present

birth.

 

The peculiar thing is Rahu is also Bhratrikaraka and is in the Karamkamsha. So

if you worship Vishnu as guru it may be a good idea. Krishna mantras in

particular can be good for you as he is the Jagatguru (remember Om Krishna

Guru?). Jagannath himself is guru. Vyasa is a guru and in the Vishnu

sahasranama, Vyasa and Vishnu are worshipped interchangeably (vyasaya

vishnurupaya vyasarupaya vishnave). You need to activate that Mercury.

 

The adhi and pratyadhi devatas of Mercury is Vishnu and Narayana. As ishta

devata and dharma devata mantra, I would think Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya is

ideal for you. We usually use this mantra rather than Buddhadevaya. Your

Mercury is in the 2nd drekakana of a dual sign, which indicates Vishnu avatar.

Dual signs are full of akash tatva. This is the mantra par excellence as

recommended by the Bhagavat Purana. It is not merely Krishna but the nirguna

Narayana that you are worshipping through this mantra. He who dwells (vasa) in

all the bhutas: sarva bhuta nivasosi vasudeva namastute. Per se you can chant

any Vishnu and Narayan mantra whenever you want: your chart allows you that.

Even a simple Om Vishnave Namah is good for you.

 

And yes, you can happily worship Durga, given the conjunction of Rahu and Moon

and the malefic influences on your 5th house in rashi which indicates female

deities. The 5th sign is Taurus an even and a feminine sign lorded by a

[Guest guest]

Thanks for the additional script. I now have

Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevaya

Aim Hrim Klim Chamundaye Vichhai and

Om Namah Shivaya Somnathaya Haum Jum Sah, in my mantra cabinet

That should take care of Mars & Moon, incidentally both of which were in marana karaka.

Do you think I need to fix the other planet Saturn which is also in the marana

karka sthana, in light of the sade-sati.

I am sorry if I am beginning to sound like an astrological hypochondriac.

Rahu, is because of its opposition in the Kala Chakra. One of the

best ways to propitiate afflicted planets is to worship the deity of

the planet opposite to it in the Kala Cakra, as planets placed in

opposition therein can counter each other. Mercury and Rahu; Saturn

and Mars; Sun and Venus have the ability to completely suppress the

other. Hence, the deity of Mercury can be worshipped to crush a

malefic Rahu. Deities may be worshipped at various levels: as saktis

of the planets, as forms of Vishnu or as the deities associated with

the tithis. For example, Rama is worshipped on Navami, Ganesha on

Caturthi, Sarasvati on Pancami, Siva on Caturdasi etc.

malefic 1/7 axis causing Kuja Stambhana, Sarpa Yoga and ruining the

7th house. It is afflicting your AK Moon, aspecting it in the rashi

mutual aspect of Jupiter and Rahu. Jupiter is also in Rahu's

nakshatra. This leaves Mercury. Vishnu shines in your chart from

whichever angle I look at it! Mercury is exalted in the 9th house,

which is the Vishnu sthana. As the 9th lord of your chart it is in

Brahma shastiamsa. Mercury is your ishta devata. Mercury is your

Dharma Devata. Interestingly, it is placed in its own sign in

navamsa. In Vimsamsa, it is the 5th lord of bhakti placed in a

kendra. In Shastiamsa, if your D-60 is correct, it is in the 5th from

lagna, which shows what you need to worship to rectify the karmas of

the present birth.

> The peculiar thing is Rahu is also Bhratrikaraka and is in the

Karamkamsha. So if you worship Vishnu as guru it may be a good idea.

Krishna mantras in particular can be good for you as he is the

Jagatguru (remember Om Krishna Guru?). Jagannath himself is guru.

Vyasa is a guru and in the Vishnu sahasranama, Vyasa and Vishnu are

worshipped interchangeably (vyasaya vishnurupaya vyasarupaya

vishnave). You need to activate that Mercury.

>

> The adhi and pratyadhi devatas of Mercury is Vishnu and Narayana.

As ishta devata and dharma devata mantra, I would think Om Namo

Bhagavate Vasudevaya is ideal for you. We usually use this mantra

rather than Buddhadevaya. Your Mercury is in the 2nd drekakana of a

dual sign, which indicates Vishnu avatar. Dual signs are full of

akash tatva. This is the mantra par excellence as recommended by the

Bhagavat Purana. It is not merely Krishna but the nirguna Narayana

that you are worshipping through this mantra. He who dwells (vasa) in

all the bhutas: sarva bhuta nivasosi vasudeva namastute. Per se you

can chant any Vishnu and Narayan mantra whenever you want: your chart

allows you that. Even a simple Om Vishnave Namah is good for you.

>

> And yes, you can happily worship Durga, given the conjunction of

Rahu and Moon and the malefic influences on your 5th house in rashi

which indicates female deities. The 5th sign is Taurus an even and a

feminine sign lorded by a feminine planet, Venus. Rahu does not get

afflicted, but maybe particularly malefic in a person's chart. Rahu

is the demon, and the one who killed it was the Moon (Gouri), a Moon

which was very Martian, that is Durga. Venus is also placed in a

Martian sign, and it is your Dara Karaka. I would think a Chamunda

mantra may be more appropriate, like the navarna mantra Aim Hrim Klim

Chamundayai Vichhai. This would take care of 7th house and UL

problems.

Buddhadevaya. Your Mercury is in the 2nd drekakana of a dual sign, which

indicates Vishnu avatar. Dual signs are full of akash tatva. This is the mantra

par excellence as recommended by the Bhagavat Purana. It is not merely Krishna

but the nirguna Narayana that you are worshipping through this mantra. He who

dwells (vasa) in all the bhutas: sarva bhuta nivasosi vasudeva namastute. Per

se you can chant any Vishnu and Narayan mantra whenever you want: your chart

allows you that. Even a simple Om Vishnave Namah is good for you. > > And yes,

you can happily worship Durga, given the conjunction of Rahu and Moon and the

malefic influences on your 5th house in rashi which indicates female deities.

The 5th sign is Taurus an even and a feminine sign lorded by a feminine planet,

Venus. Rahu does not get afflicted, but maybe particularly malefic in a person's

chart. Rahu is the demon, and the one who killed it was the Moon (Gouri), a Moon

which was very Martian, that is Durga. Venus is also placed in a Martian sign,

and it is your Dara Karaka. I would think a Chamunda mantra may be more

appropriate, like the navarna mantra Aim Hrim Klim Chamundayai Vichhai. This

would take care of 7th house and UL problems. > > Yes you have started sade

Dear Soumit,

 

That should take care of your Rahu more than anything else! If you read the end

of my long mail to you, I had written about chanting Chamakam and Rudram as

well if possible while in sade sati, specially when Saturn will transit Leo as

it will be kantaka shani.

Dear Sarbaniji,

Thanks for the additional script. I now have

Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevaya

Aim Hrim Klim Chamundaye Vichhai and

Om Namah Shivaya Somnathaya Haum Jum Sah, in my mantra cabinet

That should take care of Mars & Moon, incidentally both of which were in marana karaka.

Do you think I need to fix the other planet Saturn which is also in the marana

karka sthana, in light of the sade-sati.

I am sorry if I am beginning to sound like an astrological hypochondriac.

Dear Soumit,

 

The jyotirlingas is worshipped as the atmalinga. We have many calculations to

derive the form of Shiva which has given us birth, but the simplest way to

worship the atmalinga is to worship the corresponding jyotirlinga to your AK.

Your atmakaraka is the Moon, which represents the Somnatha linga. So the mantra

for that would be Om Namah Shivaya Somnathaya Haum Jum Sah.

 

Rahu is the cause of Sarpa Yoga, Sarpa Dosha etc. So one should do mantras to

control him and check his malfeasance. For Mars for you, I would still stick to

worshipping Chamunda. This takes care of your Mars and your Rahu.

Many thanks for your input which I was desperately seeking for.

I was running a Ra-Ke dasha until a month or so ago, and had somewhat fructified

the prophecy of finding my Ishta Devata in that antardasha. I had zeroed in on

Mercury, but I wasnt sure until now.

Again many thanks for the direction and the prescription.

Your second coat to the lectures I have already heard was well

reinforcing. However I missed the Mallikarjuna part, and what I should worship

In another board, I was prescribed 12 weeks of Tue & Thu and

Dear Soumit,

 

Rahu can be controlled by Jupiter, exposed by the Sun, crushed by Mercury,

depending on individual charts. The reason Mercury can crush Rahu, is because

of its opposition in the Kala Chakra. One of the best ways to propitiate

afflicted planets is to worship the deity of the planet opposite to it in the

Kala Cakra, as planets placed in opposition therein can counter each other.

Mercury and Rahu; Saturn and Mars; Sun and Venus have the ability to completely

suppress the other. Hence, the deity of Mercury can be worshipped to crush a

malefic Rahu. Deities may be worshipped at various levels: as saktis of the

planets, as forms of Vishnu or as the deities associated with the tithis. For

example, Rama is worshipped on Navami, Ganesha on Caturthi, Sarasvati on

Pancami, Siva on Caturdasi etc.

 

Rahu in your chart has a peculiar position. It is placed in the malefic 1/7 axis

causing Kuja Stambhana, Sarpa Yoga and ruining the 7th house. It is afflicting

your AK Moon, aspecting it in the rashi and conjoined it in the navamsha.

Surya is debilitated and there is mutual aspect of Jupiter and Rahu. Jupiter is

also in Rahu's nakshatra. This leaves Mercury. Vishnu shines in your chart from

whichever angle I look at it! Mercury is exalted in the 9th house, which is the

Vishnu sthana. As the 9th lord of your chart it is in Brahma shastiamsa. Mercury

is your ishta devata. Mercury is your Dharma Devata. Interestingly, it is placed

in its own sign in navamsa. In Vimsamsa, it is the 5th lord of bhakti placed in

a kendra. In Shastiamsa, if your D-60 is correct, it is in the 5th from lagna,

which shows what you need to worship to rectify the karmas of the present

birth.

 

The peculiar thing is Rahu is also Bhratrikaraka and is in the Karamkamsha. So

if you worship Vishnu as guru it may be a good idea. Krishna mantras in

particular can be good for you as he is the Jagatguru (remember Om Krishna

Guru?). Jagannath himself is guru. Vyasa is a guru and in the Vishnu

sahasranama, Vyasa and Vishnu are worshipped interchangeably (vyasaya

vishnurupaya vyasarupaya vishnave). You need to activate that Mercury.

 

The adhi and pratyadhi devatas of Mercury is Vishnu and Narayana. As ishta

devata and dharma devata mantra, I would think Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya is

ideal for you. We usually use this mantra rather than Buddhadevaya. Your

Mercury is in the 2nd drekakana of a dual sign, which indicates Vishnu avatar.

Dual signs are full of akash tatva. This is the mantra par excellence as

recommended by the Bhagavat Purana. It is not merely Krishna but the nirguna

Narayana that you are worshipping through this mantra. He who dwells (vasa) in

all the bhutas: sarva bhuta nivasosi vasudeva namastute. Per se you can chant

any Vishnu and Narayan mantra whenever you want: your chart allows you that.

Even a simple Om Vishnave Namah is good for you.

 

And yes, you can happily worship Durga, given the conjunction of Rahu and Moon

and the malefic influences on your 5th house in rashi which indicates female

deities. The 5th sign is Taurus an even and a feminine sign lorded by a

feminine planet, Venus. Rahu does not get afflicted, but maybe particularly

Dear Sarbaniji,

I was following your 2004 Nagpur Conf and came to a part

where you were talking about opposite pairs of planets and if someone has an

afflicted Rahu then they can benifit by praying to the opposite planet which

was mentioned to be Mercury (Vishnu)

 

Also you had mentioned that if this planet happens to be special like an AK or

I have Sa + Ke in Capricorn lagna, and Mars + Ra in 7th and all totally in line

I did my calculations and the AK-Moon in 8th has unoccupied Virgo in D9 and

Mercury was therefore my Ishta Devata. Pdt Sanjayji in another lecture had

listed all but left Mercury open and said go figure, Budh.

However you in this context had suggested Vishnu and Mallikarjuna in particular.

 

I have two questions

1. I thought Rahu to be an afflictor than get afflicted.

Does it get afflicted when it get together with Jupiter or is in its debilitated sign Scorpio?
