Information on Amavasya Dosha

[Guest guest]

Dear Hari,

 

Regrettably, my knowledge of the Sanskrit is scant. Sanjay Ji is

unambiguous in VRA about the direction. I think South West is a

reasonable conclusion to draw as the Tithi is lorded by Rahu who

rules this Disha.

 

In case the elaborate ritual cannot be performed, I would go with

what Pt. Rath suggests: install a water pot in the South West and

worship the luminaries.

 

In Shri PVR Narasimha Rao's lecture, using Shri Santhanam's

translation of the BPHS, he interprets certain words to mean 'tender

leaves' rather than just leaves and also includes the 'bark' of the

trees to be put in the water. Further, he recommends that the

Kalasha be covered with a coconut as per the standard practice,

though the Shloka itself does not mention it. Shri Narasimha Rao

also recommends placing a red cloth under the Kalasha with the

Pancha Pallava OR the tender/ young Pancha Pallava and a yellow

cloth on the top. This again is not part of the Shloka but

presumably a standard ritualistic practice and thus recommended by

Shri Narasimha Rao. So these things could also be kept in mind.

 

Though the Dosha is stated to have financial implications of the

negative sort for the parents, I feel it is a potent inauspicious

Yoga for the Jatak himself as well and must be remedied. The Sage

says at birth but if not then whenever. Shri PVR suggested that the

Sage did not stop at enumerating the challenging consequences of the

Yoga but kindly prescribed remedies and also said that if performed

they would lead to "Kalyanam' or pacification/ Shanti or auspicious

results.

 

There is yet another MP3 on the subject by PVR but I have not had

the occasion to listen to it just yet.

 

Best Wishes.
