Gem Stone Combination

May 16, 2003

|| Om Gurave Namah :: Om Namo Naaraayanaaya ||

Jagmeet ji and friends,

I share these feelings - the idea that resorting to the worship of a diety other

than the family deity provokes wrath of the diety, and that the future

generations have to suffer for it, makes me uncomfortable too.

Without meaning to be disrespectful to the savants who may have laid-down these

rules, do we understand that the dieties are vengeful and mutually competative

entities, who curse in any follower of their swithes his faith?

Carrying this argument a step further, what about those great personalities,

such as Buddha, Jesus, Gur Nanak and others who established new religions or

faiths - and their descendants. They very definitely went against the worship/

religious practices of their ancestors/ families!

Regards & best wishes,

Shailesh

What's this Sampath Tara thing? Must be something to do with wealth, huh?

OM KLIM KRSHNAAYA NAMAH

Dear Sarajit,

Now see in your case,Budha is Badhaka and is placed in 9th house with 9th lord

Surya and Surya in Navmasha has a parivartana with Budha .So by wearing 9th

lord's gem stone ( Ruby ) one can nullify the results of Badhakesh.Also I have

found Surya is placed in Makha Nakshatra which is a Sampath Tara for your Janma

Nakshatra Jyeshta.So the miracle worked.

So you know now how this worked.In Navamsha both Dharma Karmadhipatys changed

their houses ie Parivartana.This is the main point here.

I hope this helps you.

With best regards,

Ramadas Rao

Dear Sanjay and Ramadas,

I'd just like to add here that I started wearing a nice ruby on my right hand

ring finger (in gold) from about two years now. He's 12L with 10L in 10H and

being with a top-rate benefic for Vi, he was to have acted beneficially, but

I'd be lying if I told you the ruby has shown great results. Otoh, Me continues

to act beneficially at every available opportunity (was in the Su-Me dasa that I

recently relocated away from India).

Warm regards,

Ramapriya

Dear Ramdas rao ji,

That is the PERFECT answer. In any case when the badhakesh has anything to do

with the 9th house, then it is the 9th lord that must be fortified. Sarajit do

you remember which stone I FORCED you to wear, and I think you are still

wearing this. Now that you are in singapore, get yourself an excellent ruby.

Dear Sanjayji,

Perhaps I could not convey my meaning.What I meant was that when Lord of the

9th, specially if he is also lord of 4th is praised for his ability to confer

munificence in the texts. If he is to act as a Badhaka then there should be

some special condition besides being lord of 9th for him to cause badha was my

logic.

I also comitted the mistake of quoting Phaladepika as my source. Phaladeepika

does not elaborate upon Badhaka concept. Having refered texts rather than

memory, i find it was shloka of Grahaswaroopagunaadhyaaya 2 in part one of

Jataka Parijata where shloka 48 says that a planet owning Khara or Mandi and in

11,9,7 house from ascendant in Chara, sthira, dual signs then he becomes

Badhaka. Pt. Gopesh Kumar Oza in his Teeka says that this should also be seen

from the bhava to which this is applicable.

I am pasting below the relevant shloka in itrans format.

Dear Chandraasekhar ji

You are mistaking Khara (Chief of border forces of Ravana’s army) with the

Bädhaka. Khara’s army consists of various generals including the lords of the

22nd Drekkana and the 64th Navamsa. These armies of demons are very adept at

bringing misfortunes (D9) and troubles in the mind and consequently work (D3).

The Kharesha of the D3 is adept at destroying your prayers, yagnas, studies,

and all the good karma you plan to do. He can cause serious ill health. In

addition to its great blessing of being AK and ensuring that during its 19

years dasa all my dreams would be dashed, Saturn (in addition to Rahu) has

taken this role of Kharesha in my D3 chart as well. People often overlook these

generals of Khara’s army and their predictions go for a six as they cannot

imagine from where the trouble to their good karma came. Even in my D9 chart,

the Kharesha is again Saturn & Rahu (for Aquarius). Thus, these demons shall

always try their level best to disrupt my work and heap misfortunes. There is

only one remedy for this. Everytime a person says the holy name ‘Rama’ even by

mistake, a mystical arrow is released from the Kodanda (Sagittarius) that

destroys one demon in Khara’s army. So, if you keep repeating ‘Jaya Ram Sri Ram

Jaya Jaya Ram’ or just ‘Ram, Ram, Ram…’ constantly, Khara and his whole army

will fall to the Rama bana (arrows of Rama).

Why only fixed and movable, even for dual signs, the bädhaka rasi is one that

aspects the lagna. In fact the bädhaka rasi must aspect the lagna. How else can

it cause badha (obstruction). It is agantuka because you cannot know from where

it came i.e. it is not physically visible or knowable except by Brihaspati

(Guru Kripa). I will explain the theory and principle of the bädhaka, how it is

calculated under what principles, how it is known etc in the west coast and

cannot type out the same now…but the above should give you valuable hints.

Understanding Mantreswara requires a deeper thinking than what normally astrologers do.

With best wishes & regards,

Yours truly,

Sanjay Rath

Dear Sanjayji and other learned members,

A lot has been said on Bashakesh , but if I remember right, does he also not

have to be lord of 22nd Dreshkana or 64th Navamsha? I think Mantreshwara has

said so in Phaladeepika.

Even applying logic (Viveka) does not it seem strange that for Chara Lagna lord

of a house aspected by the Ascendant rasi and for the Sthir Lagna Lord of Trine

would would cause badha on an empirical bassis ?

In case of former we may extend the logic of the Badhakesh being lord of 11th

and so Marakesh to a lesser degree and for Dual signs he automatically gets

Kendradhipati Dosha + Marakesh status but how we explain this about later of

the two o.e. trinal lord?

Kindly enlighten.

RE: [vedic astrology] Gem Stone Combination

Dear Sanjayji, Sarajit, Ramdasji,

Even my badhakesh is sitting with the 9th lord, but in the 3rd house. Does this

also mean that I have forgotten the worship of my deity? Incidentally, how do

you qualify forgetting deity worship? Somebody you have worshipped for the

first 40 years of your life and then stopped? If so, how do you, as an

astrologer, determine which deity? In this case, my badhakesh is also my AK.

Does this mean a lesson is being taught through such forgetfulness?

Jaya JagannathDear Gurudev and Ramadas Ji,

Now what happens if the badhakesh is sitting with the 9th lord in the 9th house.

Lets take my case, Sagittarius lagna, where the badhakesh is placed in the 9th

house Vargottama (the badha will not go easily) with the 9th lord. Even this

shows that I have forgotten worshipping my deity. Here the badhakesh has

involved in dharmakarmadipati yoga also. How to analyse this situation?.

I guess this is a special condition, where the badhakesh stone is prescribed

when the badhakesh becomes a yogakaraka and sits in its own house (anyone).

Otherwise, I understand that the stone for badhakesh is never prescribed.

However, please tell me why the obstruction of the badhakesh doesnot increase

if the stone is worn under such conditions?

I am attaching the chart for your perusal. One more thing, after I wore ruby as

suggested by Gurudev, my career has improved considerably.

Best Wishes

||Om brihaspataye namah||

Dear Ramdas Rao ji

I support this statement and observation.

For a Vrisab lagna with yogakaraka saturn in the ninth house, there were too

many obstacles during saturn dasa. The use of the blue sapphire has done

miracles of sorts.

The point here, as well as in your sons chart is that the yogakaraka planet

preferred to sit in the ninth house in the badhak sthana. In such a case, the

badhaka planet indicates that the native has stopped worshipping the deity he

used to worship and is thus receiving obstruction. In simple words it means,

God/guru (9th lord) is going to do a lot of good for you (sitting in 9th house)

but is disappointed that you are ignoring Him. Wearing the gemstone is the first

step and the results begin to flow. This is the best remedy for any person

having the ninth lord in badhak house - wear the gemstone immediately and then

the mantras wil start coming.

I too have this combination and never wore the red coral inspite of many people

telling me. My answer used to be I don't care about wealth (Mars is 2nd lord)

and fortune (9th lord). I have Hamsa yoga and Jagannath will look after me. I

have learnt that this was just my own ahamkara and that I should humbly submit

to gurus and elders when they say something wise.

With best wishes & regards,

I remain

OM KLIM KRSHNAAYA NAMAH

Dear Kritigaivasan,

If Shani is placed in 9th itself,then his badhaka results are nullified.Now for

example ,in my son's chart Kumbha Lagna,Shukra the Yogakaraka is in 9th in his

Moolatrikona Stana in Tula.Last year he was complainig about not getting good

marks in his MBA,so I put a Diamond ring for him when Shukra was getting

exalted last year ( I think at that time we were in Vaishno Devi ),Now in this

final exam.he passed 1st class and just today I got the information that he

passed 2 interviews for 2 good companies in Bangalore.But the Dasa running is

Ketu.

So if Yogakaraka planet becomes badhaka and placed in his own house in Rasi or

Navamsha ,one can wear the stone belong to that planet.

I hope this helps.

Dear Sarbani,

I should have said 'If the ninth lord as badhakesh becomes AK'. This is

applicable in Krithi's case and the other cases and not in your case. Your

ninth lord is not badhakesh although its conjunction with badhakesh shows that

the worship of the deity connected with the badhakesh was forgotten from your

fathers generation and this is the cause of the various obstacles you face

related to ..Now that you have done pranaam to Jagannatha Swami, you will see

how this will vanish. Domestic, professional and all other badha will go. Just

say that 12 akshara mantra of Jagannatha that I taught you. It will never fail.

I stand corrected. In your case also the 9th lord is in sandhi.

Dear Sanjayji,

My experience has been exactly the opposite. There has never been in any badha

in my spiritual life. Right from childhood it has grown steadily and increased

irrespective of dashas I might have been running. The badha has always been to

my material life: profession, finance, domestic. In fact the spiritual life is

the only life that had no badha! So how can we have two different indications

§Om devaguru brihaspataye namah§Dear KrithiNormally not. If the Badhakesh

becomes the AK, it compromises the spiritualaspect and the mind is not open to

learning i.e. there is a lot of badha(obstruction) in the spiritual quest

(AK).Since Saturn is AK and also bädhaka, it shows that initially you will not

bespiritual. However, combustion of the AK is very good for spiritualityshowing

that at some stage of life during college days you will transforminto a new

leaf. The dasa of planets aspected by Saturn will give spiritualinsight. No do

not use the stone of saturn as it is the AK as well asbadhakesh. Instead

consider wearing a diamond for strengthening the lagnalord so that the Sun

becomes more effective/capable in its combustion of thebädhaka and saving the

AK.With best wishes & regards,Yours truly,Sanjay

So then my interpretation is correct.Now look at 11th from Budha which is Meena

Rasi and its lord Guru is in 10th from Budha.So perform all Karmas that make

Vishnu happy ie.,by reading daily Bhagavat Purana /Harivansha Purana ,make

Bhajans praising of Lord Vishnu ,Perform Sri Sathya Narayana Pooja once a month

duirng Full Moon day and Feed Brahmans and give them Daan once a year and number

of Brahmins be 12.I am sure Sri Vishnu will bless you suddenly and a miracle can

happen in your life.

Regarding Preta Dosha leave the matter and Pray Lord Vishnu regarding that.

I Hope everything will be alright very soon.

Now for your information,I am going to perform Sri Sathya Narayana Pooja here in

LET US ALL PRAY SRI SATHYA NARAYANA TO BLESS US ALL.

devotion to the family deity Radha Madhav. (This book has now undergone 2

English translation, one by a English professor and the other by an eminent

Indian historian). My aforementioned grandfather’s wife (my grandmom) was

directly initiated to the Ramakrishna Order and very close to them, and was

among the first pupils of Sister Nivedita.

My father, an extremely pious and pure man, continued the tradition of holding

the kirtans in our house each year in the memory of his father and regularly

gave donations to the Vaishnav sampradayas, but he was really a Shiva bhakta.

After his death in 1983, all this has stopped. My mother continues with the

donations and prasad comes to our house from the Vaishnav maths regularly, but

no one really eats them, except maybe mother and me. My mother and the rest of

family are all initiated into the Ramakrishna Order and are extremely close to

them. So Vishnu is a forgotten person in my present family. Except, that my

mother is the only one who perceives Sri Ramakrishna to be an avatar and

worships him as sakshat Narayan. I doubt the others do that. I started

worshipping Vishnu regularly only very much later in life. If you see my chart,

he represents my ishta (Narayan actually) in more ways than one.

Will Sahaja Bhava signify that it is brothers who really forgot the worship of

Vishnu? Incidentally Lakshmi is worshipped regularly in the house. The regular

worship of Saraswati was also discontinued after my father’s death.

Also I don’t know of any unnatural deaths in my family. Even if there was, your

kind suggestion of a Vishnu Shraddha and Til Havan will not be carried out as

my present family does not believe in remedies, rituals or anything remotely

astrological! So Preta Dosha will have to remain. I don’t have any elders

remaining in the family, save my mother, as they have all passed out one by one

in front of me.

Dear Sarbaniji,

In your chart,Badhakesh is with 9th and 5th lord in 3rd house and 5th lord is in

parivartana with 3rd lord Shukra.3rd house indicates Sahaja Stana or ones own

will power.So here 9th lord is placed which indicates the worship of Deity

representing Budha has stopped from Father-grandfather's time.Budha in Rohini

indicating worship of Godess Lakshmi but according to Prashna Marga,it says

Vishnu/Krishna.Also from this house ,9th is occupied by Shani ® with Ketu

indicating there was a unnatural death in your father-grandfather's family 2-3

generations before.So there is a Preta Dosha is also there and this has to be

removed by performing Sri Vishnu Shraddha followed by Til Havan.But this has to

done by a senior member in the family.

I hope this helps you,

With best regards,
