Dear Jyotisha,

 

Here is some info on the various Jyotirlingam. This is followed by

the

Dwadas Jyotilingam Stotra. The use of Jyotirlingam can be manifold.

Some

of them are given below

 

The remedies associated with the Jyotirlingas

1. Lord Shiva can grant life to otherwise dying / decaying

persons

like he gave life to Sage Markandeya and also as a guru can elevate

any

debilitated/ fallen persons. In a horoscope if a planet is either

"Debilitated" or in "Marana Sthana**", the best possible remedy is to

worship the Jyotirlingam associated with the sign of exaltation of

the

said planet. This shall help in canceling the weakness caused by

Debilitation or Marana Avastha

 

** Marana Sthana: Sun in 12th, Moon in 8th, Mars in

7th,

Mercury in 7th, Jupiter in 3rd, Venus in 6th, Saturn in 1st, Rahu in

9th.

 

2. The form of the Guru is shown by the placement of the Bhratri

Karaka, in the Navamsa. One can worship the Jyotirlingam associated

with

the Rasi where the Bhratri Karaka is placed in the Navamsa sign and

Shiva shall come as Guru to the Native.

 

3. Sun is the natural giver of Satya and Dharma. Whichever sign

Sun

is placed, one can worship the Jyotirloingam associated with the Sign

for gains in Satya and Dharma.

 

4. As Narasimha Pointed out, the 5th lord in the Dasamsa is very

crucial in the careers of the native and show opportunities in the

job

life of a native. Worshipping the Jyotirlingam which shall cause the

exaltation of the 5th lord is good for the career of the native.

 

5. There can be other combinations… for any kind of weaknesses

etc.

find the causing planet and worship the Jyotirlingam to get over the

weakness. The weakness can be one of the Shadripu. Guru helps us

getting

over such weaknesses of the body or mind.

 

6. The other specific remedies associated with the Jyotilingas

are

given under each of their brief description.

 

 

 

 

Information on Dwadas Jyotirlingas (Taken from the Notes of Jyotish

Guru

J. Sarat Chander)

 

1. Rameshwaram - Aries (Mesh)

This Jyotirlinga was established by Lord Rama. It is he who causes

the

exaltation of Sun. Also represents the Agni Tattwa among the 5

tattwas.

 

2. Somnath - Taurus (Vrishabh)

This Jyotirlinga was established by Lord Krishna. It is he who causes

the exaltation of Moon. It will be interesting to note that Lord

Krishna's lagna was Taurus, star was Rohini and Rasi (Moon sign) was

also Taurus.

 

3. Nageshwara- Gemini (Mithun)

This Jyotirlinga shows that exaltation of Rahu (the snake).

 

4. Omkareshwar- Cancer (Kark)

This Jyotirlinga symbolizes Dakshinamoorthy and the very resplendent

syllable 'Aum' (`) which is knowledge - knowledge of the self, and

wisdom. These qualities are represented by Jupiter. It is he who

causes

the exaltation of Jupiter. Also represents the Jala Tattwa among the

5

tattwas.

 

5. Vaidyanatha- Leo (Simh)

This Jyotirlinga symbolizes the moolatrikona sign of Surya. It also

symbolizes the natural 5th house - the house of children, intellect,

mantra siddhi, mind etc.

 

6. Bhimashankara- Virgo (Kanya)

It is he who causes Mercury's exaltation. It symbolizes Prithvi

Tattwa

which is one of the 5 elements. It also symbolizes strength from the

Prithvi Tattwa (Solids).

 

7. Mahakaleshwara- Libra (Thula)

It is he who causes the exaltation of Saturn who is said to represent

Mahakala. A prayer at this Jyotirlinga is bound to bless one with

health

and life as Shiva in the form of Mahakala (the one who takes away the

Rudra) is pacified. Saturn is the Dharmaraja of a chart and its

deity is

Yama who never fails in his duty (dharma). This Jyotirlinga also

symbolizes the Vayu Tattwa - the Tamasik of the 5 tattwas.

 

8. Dhooshaneshwara- Scorpio (Vrishchik)

This is the sign of dual lordship of Ketu and Mars. Ketu's lordship

provides it the touch of uncertainty. This represents intermittent

nature of working of this Rasi. A person influenced by Scorpio (Ketu)

will be on and off the sphere of work very frequently.

 

9. Kasi Vishwanath- Sagittarius (Dhanu)

Jupiter as the overlord of Moksha rules this house and Ketu, as the

Mokshakaraka, exalts in this house. Hence, the Jyotirlinga of Kasi

Vishwanath is known to send the atma towards Moksha/Mukti. It also

represents the power of the Jyotirlinga to bring to fore even the

lost

or hidden things, as symbolized by the Matsya Avatar (Ketu being the

planet) in which Lord Vishnu recovered the lost Vedas. This is the

sign

in which golden temples are built and we have only 3 golden temples

(Kasi Vishwanath, Tirupati Balaji and Har Mandir Sahib at Amritsar).

 

10. Triambakeshwara- Capricorn (Makar)

This Jyotirlinga symbolizes the exaltation of Mars (Mrityu) and

prayers

at the Jyotirlinga of Triambakeshawara indicates overcoming of

Mrityu.

As Capricorn is the sign of Saturn where Mars (Mrityu) exalts,

Mahamrityunjaya Japa done during the dasa periods of Saturn is very

effective and useful to overcome death itself or deathly blows.

 

11. Kedarnath- Aquarius (Kumbh)

The sign which is also owned by Rahu (poison). Rahu (as also

Aquarius)

symbolizes deep philosophy. Lord Shiva is believed to have given the

Vedas, the highest philosophy, as `Kedarnath'.

 

12. Mallikarjuna- Pisces (Meen)

This is the sign of exaltation of Venus, the planet with the power to

give rebirth - the possessor of Sanjeevani Mantra (Maha Mrityunjaya

Mantra). This is the sign of cures to the physical body. This is also

the sign of abode of Maha Vishnu in his Anantasayana.
