Guest guest Posted February 6, 2004 Report Share Posted February 6, 2004 Hello Friends, Continuing with my posting on Karma, I am posting another piece from my website which stresses the need for self participation in shanti prayogas. Delegating pooja or shanti prayoga to pandits does not serve much of a purpose. PRAYERS The most powerful Mantra is "PRAYER ". Power of Prayer lies in total surrender . It means a surrendering of ones EGO. Problems, pains and suffering in the life are only due to our EGO. They are Karmic reactions, which we call as "Karma Phala". All the suffering due to one's present Karma manifests in " Karma Dosha" All the suffering due to one's past birth Karma manifests in "Bhagya Dosha" Meaning bad luck. If the Ego is intact and inflated, the Karmik Reactions are felt in the form of Bad Yogas (combinations) in the Horoscope and Dasas of Planets or Bad Periods. Planetary Transits and Dasas give good or bad results as per ones Karma and Bhagya. All Karmic reactions come with compound interest. Meaning, Present bad deeds or Sin may call for one's suffering the consequence for a week or so but if the deeds are beyond the enduring present life time, they have to be endured for a longer period with compound interest in the next birth. No one can escape the results of such Karmic Reactions. The sum total of effects felt by individuals is in the form of pains, problems, delays, joblessness, childlessness, widowhood, poverty, diseases of mind and body , failures, deprivations etc. If your Ego is intact, you will suffer maximum effect. If you are like a tree in the eye of a storm, you are likely to be uprooted. But if you are like grass, nothing will happen to you even in the face of the worst storm. Grass bends, but the tree does not. If you surrender to supreme power which employs such periods of pain and misery to give you back your Karma Phala ,the intensity of such periods is considerably reduced. Some of the forms of surrender are, performing Poojas, Archanas, Homas, Vratas , Donations, etc. But the best form is Prayer. The best way for Ego destruction is to Pray with full faith. Unless you surrender totally, Faith does not manifest in you. Mere performing of any religious rite or pooja or Homa does not result in release from pains and misery. If any Pundit or Astrologer offers a solution saying that pooja, Homa or wearing precious stones will remove your pains and suffering, and if you believe in such claim, then you are deluding yourself. Astrologers , Gurus and doctors can advice you and prescribe medicines or remedies. It is up to you to fully follow strict regimen in order to get the best out of the treatment. Apart from such poojas and shanti prayogs done by pundits, you need to follow sincere advice and do the remedial japas yourselves to get faster relief. Once you pray with total faith, no words are necessary. Your own devotion and faith would remove a part of obstacles and suffering which even Mantra and Tantra cannot do. So please participate in Shanti Prayogs with total faith. And perform simple poojas or chant Japas. It is equally important to desist from increasing your Karmas (Bad) or else, all problems will surround you once again with more intensity. All Priharas or Prayers of Appeasements to Planets, Gods etc need your equal participation. It is of paramount importance All problems have respective solutions. So is the case about planetary problems. Generally each planet has potential to harm you or give you benefits, if it is improperly or properly placed in your birth chart. Generally it is believed that Saturn is bad and Sukra / Chandra are good. Guru is Jeeva and Guru saves. But Sani gives you long life also, if placed in 8th house and Guru in exaltation in 8th house or 3rd house cannot save you as it spoils the bhaava it is placed in. All planets respond to poojas done in good faith. Poojas for each planet's shanti must be done if found to cause you problems. Generally the person afflicted has to be present during the shanti. So please surrunder unto God with total faith and be happy.
