Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hi all, I searched the archives of various Jyotish-related groups and materials, and found no clues of what kind of remedial action is donating blood. OK, there was no blood donation in ancient times, but surely there is nowadays, and it also saves lives. It is also an impersonal act since you seldom know the person your blood is going to be given to. Any suggestions? Davor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Dear Davor, Blood donation is also an act of 'DAANA'(donation), though it need not be included as 'remedy'. Whenever blood comes into picture, the 'remedy' turns TANTRIK involving procedures of blood shed. And Vedic procedure USUALLY does not involve TAAMASIK procedures like this. Though, the receiver is unknown, if your donation reaches the NEEDY, yours is a DAANA. yours KAD , Davor Virkes <davor.virkes@t...> wrote: > Hi all, > I searched the archives of various Jyotish-related groups and materials, > and found no clues of what kind of remedial action is donating blood.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Mars is a red planet , and since the act can be termed tamasik, so Saturn is also involved. Could blood donation be linked with these two planets ?

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 This is true. What we need to understand is that, some people are sensitive about remedies, while others are not. Senstitive people might have strong 5th and 9th lords / houses, and non-sensitive would not have. It is very easy to improve sensitive people's luck, while difficult to improve the luck of others. Sensitive people would be greatly affected by yajna, mantra etc., and also gemstones and even colours of environment and clothes. While non sensitive people carry a heavy inertia of karma and their improvement is difficult, denoted by the weakness of 5th and 9th houses. (I am just guessing the reason - believe it is a good guess.) Non sensitive people would not be really affected by colours. Would be slightly affected by gemstones and mantras. And would be affected by yajnas to some degree. I am super sensitive person. I need to choose the colout of my clothes with a great care. Colours of SUn (My 12th lord) gives me heavy and often wasteful expenditure. Sun's colours are golden, bright glittering yellow. So these do those to me. Also jaggery / molasses is the colour of Sun. I had one tshirt and whenever I wore it, something bad happened to me regarding accident, home, mother, expenditure etc. (Sun in 4th house) Once I challenged my cousin about the effect and wore it to show him. That day, wearing it, I was standing on the side of road, and a car was parking, and it drove over my left foot ! 12th lord is foot. Anyway. What I am going to tell that daana remedies might not be perfect for such sensitive people. In my early days I tried daana remedy (charity) a lot and always had problems with the benefits. Later I noted that even if I donate something to someone without the intention of astrology, it gives me problem too. One day one begger, almost naked, came to my home, and I knew it would be a problem, but then, could not avoid the touchy part. So I donate her a green tshirt of me. That evening, I get in to a serious argument with someone regarding residence. Green is mercury, rules arguments, and is in my 4th house. Lots can be said on this, how I was fired back with daana remedies. The reason is clear - the 12th lord ruling charity is afflicted, and weak in direction, and joining 9th lord (remedies). Well. For Saturn, eating chocolate and other junk foods put me in trouble. More true about chocolate milk. Chocolate milk is less chocolate, so less prob should be there. But why so? This is for milk is moon, ruled by my Saturn in the chart. Chocolate milk is a serious prob for me. Esp. I have had some very bad experiences when I took choco milk on other's money. So when I have to eat such things, I take the money, and order by myself. No prob :-) The rule comes out of this is daana a remedy but the astrologer must see the possibilities just as my 12th lord troubled joining 9th lord shows no possible benefit my daana remedy. Then, another thing becomes if daana (sacrifices) is a remedy, ie to give others from your money, then to accept things from others works the opposite and can cause probs. This is true only for above said sensitive people. Also, taking the money does not cause any prob, but taking good does. Also donating money I never had any probs. But whenever I did goods, probs. Best wishes, Tanvir. What can not happen, can never happen.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Salam. Capricorn lagna, Saturn the lord of lagna and it's stone makes you sick... HMMM... ... This is because Saturn is ruler of Body / health (Lagna) but also a Maraka. Most probably Saturn's position has to say more about this. I have seen people suggesting Asc lord stone / 9th lord stone etc without judging the planets position, but that is, to me, a simple NON SENSE. I have an afflicted, yet strong (!) 9th lord and it's stone makes me have pimples, since it is also the 2nd lord (Face) and since the planet is Venus, it focus on the BEAUTY PART so face beauty is there. If Merc were 2nd lord then SPEECH would be affected. This is what I call my 'Theory of sensitivity'. A house has many matters so does a planet. And a planet would especially focus on the "SIMILAR MATTERS" of the house that it's OWN MATTERS have similarities with. Anyway. Bottom line, if you have good luck with the emerald, wear it. It's logical to be good since being 9th lord. But it is the 6th lord too. So some probs might be there which you might not note. Or they might be so minimal that you do not care. I do not trust stones without judging it very carefully. My teaching is that, since stones amplify the energy, and we take the advantage of amplifying the positive energy (9th lord etc.) the negative energy of a positive ruler for being ill placed must amplify to some degree what we can not ignore logically. But sometimes the side effects are too minimal that you just do not care. And they offer a lot more benefits on the other hand. For such reasons to me the best remedies are mantras and yajnas. But needless to mention that gemstones are often very good remedies, too. Interaction with animals have a direct impact on the fate unlike the interaction with human beings that you keep doing immoral things and nothing happens. I have experimented with crows and dogs, the effect is very much there. One small example - I always feed dogs, whenever I can. It benefits me. One day I offer the dogs a pack of biscuits, but it was partly open. So the dog has to work a bit hard for a while to open it and then eat it. I watch it playfully, that's my familiar dog. Just with a playful intention with something dear. Well, I was residing in my cousins' home, and getting back there, I found that everyone there left for somewhere including the maid servant. So I could not enter and pass some more 1-1.5 hrs outside, only then they returned. This is very rare that even the servant leaves. It happened to me only twice since 1999. So making the dog suffer a bit would not let me enter the home. Because dog represents Ketu, is in my 4th house. All the best Tanvir. What can not happen, can never happen.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Blood is related to moon and mars, the cells laden with iron come more under the domain of mars while the fluid (there is a lot of that) in the blood is associated with moon. Marrow, where the blood cells are formed are more related to mars. The whole concept of 'daana' with an aim in mind, even if it is to remedy one's karma taints the act of charity, because it then does not remain charity but rather an investment or a price paid for benefit (escape from karma) in return. Having said that, it is obviously better to give blood or even other charities selfishly than to not give at all! When it comes to giving, obviously personal decisions and values come supreme.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Dear All, The concept of DAANA is well defined in ancient Vedic literature and of course later turned into LAW at the age of Manu-Smrti. A DAANA is a part of regular INCOME; if not, it is called TYAAGA(self sacrifice or giving up). Most of the scriptures specify that 1/5 th of income was to be used for donations(DAANA). Accordingly, the LEVEL and the type of DAANA differed from person to person and time to time. What could be achieved by donating a RAM could be achieved by donating TOOR-DHAL(AADHAKA DHANYA), to please Mars, for instance. However, there are some special cases as exceptions and are obvious. Keeping the same principle in mind, blood donation need not be a remedial DAANA since the same can be achieved by other remedies. Whenever, a person GIVES something extra than USUAL donation from out of whatever he/she has, may be out of compassion, it goes under MAHAADAANA or TYAAGA, according to the situation -- like KANYAA DAANA(offering bride to groom), GO DAANA(cow), BHOO DAANA(land) etc etc -- considering them as giver's WEALTH; They surely need not be remedies but just DAANA. If one is RICH in blood, surely he/she can donate it - but it is different from remedy. We have famous examples of Emperor SHIBI donating a fistful of chest flesh to a kite, to free a pigeon and of prince JEEMOOTA VAHANA giving himself to GARUDA in order to save a NAAGA child.[Ref: Naagaananda by SriHarsha -last act]. These, though are DAANA of flesh and blood, go under TYAAGA. yours KAD > > , Davor Virkes > <davor.virkes@t...> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I searched the archives of various Jyotish-related groups and > materials, > > and found no clues of what kind of remedial action is donating > blood.

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Hello. I agree with RRji regading blood being related to mangal and moon. I recollect that while reciting one of the lines in Mars Ashtorra (108 names of Kuja) that one of the lines is "Raktam Vapushe Namah". relating to blood purification. However, care must be taken not to purgate oneself when Mars is Retrograde or in debilitation. Personally I do not agree that giving blood is a remedial measue. By giving blood one cannot necessarily get rid of bad karma. If you have to appease a certain deity or planet, you should do it by doing charitable deeds to humanity or through penance and prayer. RRji has correctly pointed out that you cannot escape from your karma by paying a price in the form of a donation/charity. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted February 3, 2005 Report Share Posted February 3, 2005 It is not that by giving blood you are reducing karma. By donating (and not selling as some do!) blood, you are increasing your dharma count. This is like losing money on the stocks but getting a raise at the same time. Crude example but what I want to say is that it all comes out of one pot and probably not so specific as eye for an eye etc. This is how I reconcile in part with bad people getting good effects despite their badness to some or as perceived by some but doing good to others at the same time. This and poorvapunya of course. RR , "deepak_vishnu" <deepak_vishnu> wrote: > > Hello. > I agree with RRji regading blood being related to mangal and moon.
