Guest guest Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Dear respected members, Life is like a ride on a roller coaster, one day, we are on the top of the wheel, and the other day, we could be at the bottom of the wheel, and a lot of us would have experienced this, as it is the reality of life. Since we cannot escape the rough ride at times, it is but natural to take respite from pujas, homas, japas and other and remedies. It seems relatively easy to find out what remedies to be done these days, than perform remedies like japas and homas. Now the difficult dilemma is, incase of Doctors and engineers / lawyers their degrees and qualifications are well displayed, so it is rather easy to choose the right person for the services. But unfortunately, priests don't display such degrees, and may get offended if someone asks them. We do not have enough depth of knowledge to assess them,neither we have the depth of knowledge to perform proper rituals ourselves (incase of difficult japas or homas), so we have to trust the priest to perform them for us. Here comes the difficult part in this Kaliyug , it is difficult to find a person who does an authentic japa for us, because of commercialization. Yet either because of our lack of knowledge, or time, we end up relying on them for japas and homams. I have seen once priests performing japa ,and in between they were chit chatting or having tea breaks, to me it looked pretty unholy, as I felt when we are invoking shiva or for that matter any god or any planet, our mind has to be single minded in concentrating on god/ godess or planet. Eventhough the priests say, "since you have entrusted the job to us, if we do the japa wrong, we get the dosham for it" - I don't know if that is the right logic to follow either, as the primary purpose of japa is to plead for the grace of the god or planet for us, but not to take some one along with you to hell. When some one is pleading with god/planet, if their dristi is some where, how much attention is he going to get from GOD? With all the respect to all the learned and respectful community of priests, this is my humble concern, how do people find the best priest? Where do you find them? And dear members,those who got the respite from remedies, how did you manage to perform the right remedies in a right way? Will you be all kind enough to share your successful way of performing japas /homas/ yantras and other remedies, for the benefit of every reader in these groups. A lot of people may get the advise of right remedy, but a remedy not done properly may not give them the results they are looking for. Thank you all Music Unlimited Access over 1 million songs.

Guest guest Posted November 25, 2005 Report Share Posted November 25, 2005 Dear Sri Tanuku; The issues raised by you are as under: it is difficult to find a person who does an authentic japa for us, because of commercialization. Yet either because of our lack of knowledge, or time, we end up relying on them for japas and homams Finding a right priest for our regular and special needs is difficult.Infact it is the case with any profession.There are qualified and non qualified,experienced and in experienced priest. In all such cases probably it is also matter of faith.Best thing is to rely on established temples where on some occassions and even regularly carry out these poojas,So what is important is chitta suddhi and belief in the person performing such poojas. I have seen once priests performing japa ,and in between they were chitchatting or having tea breaks, to me it looked pretty unholy, as I felt when we are invoking shiva or forthat matter any god or any planet, our mind has to be single minded in concentrating on god/ godess or planet. The selction of priest is normally made on the basis of reputation too.A priest who is busy definetely is one performs with single mind and may be he also charges with good amount.Normally affording capacity too matters. Infact for Astrological purposes the remedies are not really difficult but then have some niyams(paddhatii)which are to be followed and observed.Also require different types of suddhi such as chitta suddhi,deha suddhi and vatavarana siddhi.once all these are taken care,the fruits of the prayers normally accrues.stronger the desire to seek relief and intensity of request better will be results. krishnan krishna tanuku <ktanuku wrote: Dear respected members, Life is like a ride on a roller coaster, one day, we are on the top of the wheel, and the other day, we could be at the bottom of the wheel, and a lot of us would have experienced this, as it is the reality of life.
