Graha Dosha's and Mantra Remedies

(Authored by Sri. A.M.Rajagopalan in tamil and translated in English

by Sriganeshh)

 

Modern days, people suffer and undergo so many problem, difficulty,

sorrow etc. The astrology tries to remove the same. The astrologer

with such great responsibility on his shoulders reads the horoscope

by examining and analyzing the 12 Rasi's on minute degree basis and

arrives at graha doshas responsible for creation of all the problems

in life. Then he suggests remedial measures according to the strength

of Doshas.

 

The remedial measures normally comprises of worship of gods, goddess,

recitation of mantras, slokas, prayers, poojas, performing yagnas,

doing charities etc, Most of the remedial measures like slokas,

poojas, mantras etc are the gifts of saints, sages and mahapurush for

the welfare of the humanity.

 

In the light of the above, the main purpose of this article is to

throw light on how the remedial mantras, slokas are getting power and

how do they derive strength…

 

Graha Doshas:

Graha dosha arise because of our sinful actions (Pap Karya). The

sinful actions can be distinguished as under:

 

Mind and Speech

It refers to those actions like lying, back-biting, talking ill about

other, splitting the couples, hurting the mother and father by

talking bad words, bad thoughts in mind, abusing the god, abusing the

saints and sages, talking ill about women etc.,

 

Physical

It refers harming those living beings, eating non-veg, adultery,

drinks, rape, theft, burglary, robbery, harming temple or temple

property, murder, grabbing of other's thing etc.,

 

Barring a few, the ill effects of all other sinful actions can be

rectified and overcome by undergoing or doing remedial measures as

suggested by astrologers. But the important point is one shouldn't

commit sinful actions just because suitable remedial measures are

there to rectify and overcome the ill effect.

 

Mantra –Meaning

The power of mantra japa or recitation and how one can get good life

by doing mantra japa has been dealt in `UPASANA' section of Vedas.

 

"MANTRAM TRAYATE ITHI MANTRAH"

 

The meaning of the above is…what saves or protects one when it is

recited with shraddha and bakthi, that is the thing, which is called

as `Mantra'. Therefore, it is evident that recitation of the powerful

and divine mantras daily and regularly will help, save and protects

us from all kinds of problems.

 

Each word in the mantra has its special and individual power because

all mantras are simply forms of sound. Therefore only correct

pronunciation is essential to get the full power of the mantras.

 

Like when a small seed when sown in a fertile ground and irrigated

with water grows and becomes a big tree, every word of mantra also

gets sown in our heart, irrigated with our bakthi and shraddha grows

in to big tree to protect us. Moreover it is also essential to keep

confidence and belief in the daily mantra japa / recitation since the

results are directly in relation with our confidence and belief

levels in the mantra.

 

These remedial mantras are able to give comfort and protection while

living and happiness and moksha after death. These, not only relieves

us from our past sinful acts, but also gives strength and will power

not to indulge in such sinful action in future.

 

 

 

 

Mantra - Types

 

Many of the mantra recitation or japa can be started on our own after

the worship of god. But japa or recital of mantras like Gayatri,

Astatsharam, Panchasharam, Beejasharam requires upadesha (Initiation)

by Guru, Acharya, father, religious sages, saints, heads of mutts,

divine scholars etc.,

 

All mantra recitation should be undertaken only in the morning after

taking bath.

 

Slokas Imbibed with Mantra Sakthi / Power

 

Besides the mantras, there are certain powerful slokas (thuthi – in

tamil) which are endowed with mantra power. They are

 

Sri Vishnu Sahasranama

Aditya Hridayam

Sri Hanuman Chalisa

Kanda Shasti Kavacham

Kandar Anubhuti

Navagraha slokas (Sri Vyasa Maharishi)

Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Karavalambam

Kanagadhara Stotram (Sri Adi Sankaracharya)

Sri Seetharama Pattabhisheka Stotram (Sri Anjeneyar)

 

These stotram's can be recited at any time and at all times. There is

no need for upadesam from guru etc., One can start reciting any of

the above stotram after worshipping the God.

 

What are the major problems of today?

Absence of unity in the family

Diseases (New and Rare)

Employment, Business, Occupation (Disappointment)

Debt Burden

Children

 

To eliminate all these problems, worries and difficulties and to

bring happiness and peace in family, our rishis and mahapurush has

bestowed their divine benevolence on us by presenting to us mantras

and mantra slokas. All our present day problems and difficulties are

due to the fact that we forgotten all these gifts from our

forefathers.

 

How do Mantras derive Power

The first mantra also called as `Pranavam' is "OHM" which came from

God. This pranava mantra gave birth to `Sri Gayatri'. All other

mantras came from this gayatri mantra only and hence gayatri mantra

is denoted as `mother of mantras'.

 

Once Surya, the sun god, has took birth as son of Kashyap Rishi and

has been entrusted with the responsibility of giving light

(brightness) to entire world. (28 = (2 x7+14)]. But the Lord of

light, Surya himself gets lighting power from Sri Gayatri. The centre

of the surya mandala is always echoed with sound waves of sri gayatri

mantra. Hence the mantra is known as `SUPREME' and `POWERFUL'

 

All other mantras derive strength and power from gayatri. How is it

possible to derive strength from gayatri when mantras are different?

It is because our rishi's, mahapurush, saints and sages has done

extensive and deep penance worshipping mother gayatri by reciting

gayatri mantra. By virtue of their penance, they derived all other

mantras and slokas from mother gayatri. We cannot do such hard

penance like rishi and mahapurush to attain mantra siddhi. That is

why they have blessed us with mantras and slokas endowed with their

mantra power and siddhi's.

 

Among other mantras, Astasharam i.e, Ohm Namo Narayanaya and

Panchasharam i.e., Ohm Namasivaya are considered to be powerful. It

is believed that sri Mahavishnu himself has thought this mantra to

human beings at Bhadri Ashram, located on the banks of alakanandha

river. In the same way, the panchashara mantra has took birth in

kailash when lord shiva is in yoga nishta.

 

Since these mantras and slokas have been endowed with such divine

powers, they help one get rid of their Graha dosha arising as a

result of sinful actions in the past birth and difficulties faced due

to such graha dosha in the present life.

 

Can ladies recite mantras?

It is stated that Ladies are not advised to recite gayatri mantra.

They can recite Astashara and Panchashara mantras by leaving out the

beej or pranava `Ohm'.

 

It should not be taken as that the women are inferior to man. The

main reason is due to special problem the women are having, their

mental and physical strength will be gradually going down as the age

goes up. This is the reason for their getting old quicker than their

male counterparts and also host of illness in the body. The

recitation of mantras like Pranavam or Gayatri gives and increases

enormous atomic energy in the body and it is believed that it will be

difficult for the women to bear such power. Hence it is kept as a

rule.

 

Therefore, it is urged that everybody make use of these mantras and

slokas by having belief and confidence in their powerfulness and make

their life happy and peaceful.

 

(It is an article written originally in Tamil by Sri.A.M.Rajagopalan,

famous divine astrologer and translated by me. I invite opinions and

suggestions for further improvement if any needed in the article. It

is suggested that even if one cannot recite the above slokas on their

own, buy cassettes and play it at home in the morning and evening.)

Hi Sriganeshh,

The article is a good translation however there is one

point which requires some reasoning(with references also if you can)

 

All mantra recitation should be undertaken only in the morning after

taking bath.

 

What do you think are the reasons for the above and dont you think

there are atleast some mantras which are recited only in night? The

common example being planets which are stronger in the night. How do

you justify the fact with implications(preferrably with refernences)

of recitation at other times of the day.

 

Also if there are any ladies reading the article, then what are there

opinions on the statement stated by the author

 

It is stated that Ladies are not advised to recite gayatri mantra.

 

A healthy participation never goes waste whatever be your level of

knowledge.
