finding a right priest

November 24, 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, we all

naturally 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! Incase of Doctors and

engineers / lawyers their degrees and qualifications

are well displayed, so it is rather easy to choose the

right person. But unfortunately, priests don't display

such degrees, or might get offended if we ask 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 mrituyunjaya japa ,and

in between they were chit chatting or having tea

breaks, to me it looked pretty unholy, as I felt when

you are invoking shiva or for that matter any god or

any planet, your 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 I am pleading

with god/planet, if my dristi is some where, how much

is he going to listen to me? With all the respect to

all the learned and respectful community of priests,

this is my humble concern, how do I find the best

priest? Where do I 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.

Thank you all

Jaya Jagannatha

Dear Krishna,

Namaste

Look at the quality of your A9 and AmK for the quality of your Guru.

A5 and 5th house and lord for lots of luck :-)

For those who've a kavaca (the ones consecrated with lakhs and lakhs of

mantra etc including yagna, annadan and dakshina), reading/predicting from

their charts can be difficult.

Love,

Swee
