Om Gurave Namah

Om Namo Narayanaya

===================

 

 

Dear Narasimha

 

Namaste. I noticed your post on Mantras. In the prescription of

mantras as remedies in these lists, I notice the term "energy"

or "power" mentioned, as being drawn out of one house and diverted to

another house.

 

Pardon me if these questions sound silly.

 

1.How does one determine the quantum of energy in a house? For

example, we may not be able to define quantitatively 5th house

potential or "Purva Punyam" or for that matter the strength available

with any particular house. How does this energy transfer operate?

 

2.If presence of a benefic or strong planet in a house is a

determinant of power or energy, can recitation of mantras carefully

chosen, relieve a house of afflictions. Lets consider a case where

debilitation of a planet in say 10th (career) in D-1 does not seem so

good and there are severe job/income (maya) related problems. Will

recitation of a carefully chosen mantra alter the character of the

debilitated planet or the sign involved that the problem is mitigated?

Would not arudha padas be more valid candidates for remedial mantras

for problems other than health or longevity?

 

3.Can there be a drain of "energy" from one house? Haven't we heard

of sages in some epics who use up the power of their tapas..possibly

power of some particular house.

 

4.Which house signifies recitation of mantra? The 2nd (speech), 4th

(mind/mentally chant) or 5th (prayers)? Would not the recitation

impact this house too?

 

5.What is the purpose of Upachayas in relation to recitation of

mantras?

 

Please clarify.

 

Sincerely

R. Kasthuri Rangan
