[Jagannath] Curses of the Previous Birth

[Guest guest]

Dear Karu,

Another excellent attempt from you. This knowledge of Jyotish is from my

last birth and I am suffering the consequences of trying to hide what was

taught to me, so that is why my Atma becomes delighted when I teach and give

this out. It is a happiness that cannot be matched by even the best cooking

(I love good food).

 

That Yoga about Jupiter being afflicted in the fifth results in

childlessness for which Rahu causes Chandala dosha. There can be other dosha

caused by the aspect of Saturn and Mars. In the Chart of Sri Rama, Mars is

the fifth Lord showing that the anger is from his SISYA or BHAKTA (Narada)

whereas in my chart it is from the ninth Lord Mars showing GURU or TEACHER.

The reasons are seen from the lordship of Saturn. In Sri Rama's Chart it is

the 7th and 8th Lord showing the marriage question whereas in my case it is

the 12th & 11th lord showing the Giving of something, and more specifically

it is the giving of the knowledge.

 

I am fulfilling the promise that we make by re-distributing that knowledge

now.

 

May Jagannath Mahaprabhu help me.

Best Wishes

Sanjay Rath

[Jagannath] Curses of the Previous Birth

 

 

Jaya Jaya Jagannatha,

Namasthe,

Dear Gurudeve Sanjay

 

 

* Jupiter in trines aspects by Mars and Saturn indicates a Curse from last

birth*

 

I was able to read Chapter 85 in BPHS about Curses ( thanks Gauranga). It is

only about childlessness, in results of curses by various ones, such as

Snake, wife,brother etc. There is one state Curses of Brahmin as well.

 

But non of the yogas given above rule, only the one yoga is very close to

above is " If Rahu posited in sign of Jupiter the 5th house containing

Jupiter, Mars, Saturn and 9th lord is posited in the 8th the children get

destroyed due to Curses of Brahmins.

 

There are some more yogas but different combination. My attempt was to find

*Curses of Brahmins*, which can be applied any chart, where the yoga exist.

 

If we take Sri Rama's chart, Saturn will be shown the punishment or the

cause of sorrow relating to marriage by own 7th and 8th. By occupying in the

4th we can understand left residence.

 

If we take your chart( if you wouldn't mind) same yoga exist. By ownership

of Saturn ( from Lagna) 11th and 12th, one can understand the sorrow must be

related to income and expenses, elder brother and their danger, relationship

etc. Being in the 11th, it will delay or destroy above mentioned aspects in

Saturn period.

 

As above I think the given yoga can be applied for every chart, when the

yoga is exist.

 

Same way, how I can understand following Yoga .

" If Jupiter being debilitated, Rahu is situated in the ascendant or in the

5th house and the lord of the 5th house is in the trick house it will donate

destruction of children results of curse of Brahmins. "

 

This too also curse of Brahmin. But cannot apply for every matter. Only for

children. Would you kindly elaborate in this regards bit more for our

benefic ? My questions are;

 

1.Is the given Yoga ( Jupiter aspect by Mars and Saturn) universally

applicable ?

2.Is there any other yoga's for find out curses of Brahmins ?

3.Further question, to check the affect of the dasas, which rasi I must

take as lagna ? Dasa start rasi or Ascendant rasi ?

 

Hare Krishna

 

Your- Sishya

>>

I'm reading Chapter 83 and the Kalasarpa yoga seems to prevent birth of a

son. So far Jupiter the karaka for son is involved with Mars and Rahu. The

remedy being worshipping Naga Raga (Shesanaga?) giving in charity a cow, some

land, sesame seeds and some gold. This way Naga Raga will be pleased and

one's family tree will continue.

 

Some of the other remedies are to feed 10,000, 1000 or 100 brahmins according

to one's means, performing the marriage of a girl.

 

The women's remedies are: taking sea bath in an enclosure of rocks between

India and Sri Lanka, recite 1,00,000 gayatri mantras, give in charity items

connected to the planets causing the curse, circle around the pipal tree 1008

times, feed brahmins.

 

Other remedies: worship Lord Vishnu, dig a well, construct a dam, or

reservoir, or all of these.

 

sloka 78 (6) chapter 83 the planets Saturn Mars and Jupiter associated in the

Navamsha are mentioned. Remedies are Chandrayana? (anyone know what this

means) fast, due penance three times a day, feeding brahmins and giving them

presents of cash, giving in charity a cow and 5 gems with gold.

 

Chap 83 Slokas 95-105 (2) Saturn Mars and Jupiter are mentioned again

Remedy: 1) Pinda dana 2) Rudra Abhisekha 3) Giving in charity a golden idol

of Brahma, a cow, a silver vessel, neelamani(?) 4) Feeding Brahmins and

giving them cash.

 

If the problems are coming from Venus and Mercury worship Lord Shiva. A

remedy for Moon Jupiter problems are reciting Sanatan Gopal Mantra, wearing

and worshipping the appropriate yantra and taking suitable medicines.

 

Worship Lord Vishnu if the problems are coming from the Sun.

 

Rudriya japa is problem comes from Saturn and Mars. By listening with rapt

attention and devotion to Haribansh Purana all kinds of problems are remedied

and one's family benefits.

 

In Chapter 84 there is a whole meditation and worship upon the deities of the

planets. From Lesson Two that would be dasa avatar.

 

Chanting of Mantras

Sun's... 7000

Moon's...11000

Mars.....11000

Mercury... 9000

Jupiter...19000

Venus...16000

Saturn....23000

Rahu...18000

Ketu...17000

 

The BPHS says Havana should be performed. I don't know what havana is. 28 or

108 offerings should be made.

 

In Phaladeepika Chapter 12 sloka 20-22 it is stated if a curse is caused by

Ketu then it is due to offense to a brahmin.

Jay Jagannatha,

 

Also one of the remedies is to fast on Kamada Ekadasi and ask Lord Vishnu to

remove the curse

of the serpents. Story with that ekadasi, from Varaha Purana, explains how

Lalitaa fasted for

his husband Lalita who was as a Gandharva transformed into a demon due to a

curse from an

envious serpent that was disturbed by the mistake in the melody lalita

performed. By fasting on

that ekadasi and later coming before the sage Sringi(who instrcted her to fast)

and the deity

of Lord Vasudeva, and asking Lord Vishnu that due to the merit she earned by

performing ekadasi

fast her husband lalita be removed from a curse, and become a gandharva again,

curse was

removed, and he instantly turned into a gandharva, and they ascended to heaven.

Sri Sri Guru Gauranga Jayatah

 

Ekadasi is every eleventh day in each Vedic Month, be it sukla or krishna paksa.

Vaisnavas(worshipers of Lord Vishnu) fast on this day either by abstaining

completely from

food(and water sometimes) or minimally by avoiding grains and beans on that day.

Now, in different Puranas there are stories connected to each Ekadasi that

explain the special

significance of each. I've got them in one book published by ISKCON

Bhaktivedanta Institute in

1984. I don't know have they reprinted it.

Story about Kamada Ekadasi is told by Lord Krishna to Maharaja Yudisthira and it

involves what I

have briefly stated in previos mail, that is woman fasted according to the

instruction of a sage

to remove the curse from her husband, who got cursed by malicious snakes. That

Ekadasi(Kamada or

Damanakaropani Ekadasi) comes in Caitra month, sukla paksa, that is

March-April(In my country it

fell on 14 apr).

 

 

I am putting the calendar down so you can see the list of the rest of Ekadasies,

even though this

is without the explanantions of the significance of each. But to fast on Ekadasi

is mandatory for

a Vaisnava, at least in the manner stated above.

 

Best wishes,

 

Zavisa

 

 

Introduction

This calendar has been calculated according to the method of calculation

presented in Hari-bhakti-vilas by Sri Sanatan Gosvami. In this calendar the

standard time for fast days and festival days and the time by which the fast

should be broken (paran) is presented according to Calcutta time, i.e. Sri

Mayapura time. Frequently these dates and times in other countries will vary

from those of Sri Mayapura and therefore have been calculated separately.

They are noted in this calendar. All break fast times are relative to the

time of local sunrise, so devotees will have to make adjustments for

breaking fasts according to the time of local sunrise in their own

countries.

I think that by the mercy of Sri Gurudeva, all Vaisnavas and Sri Caitanya

Mahaprabhu all the devotees around the world will be benefited by this

calendar.

Standard for Ekadasi break fasts.

If you have observed a complete fast (without even water) you do not need to

break it with grains, you can break it with caranamrita or fruit. But if you

have observed Ekadasi by eating fruit and vegetables etc. then it should be

broken the following day by taking grains at the times mentioned herein.

Mahadvadasi is observed like Ekadasi.

 

Ekadasi

The essence is to eat simply, once or twice, so that one can spend as much

time as possible hearing, chanting and remembering Sri Sri Radha-Krsna.

Never eat onions, garlic, carrots and red dahl, meat, fish or eggs, or

products thereof.

Foods that are restricted during Ekadasi:

-Tomatos, eggplants, cauliflower, broccoli, bellpepper

-Peas, chickpeas and all types of beans, including products made from beans

[papadams, tofu, tempeh, grain beverages, etc.].

-Indian vegetables: karela (bitter lemon), loki, parmal, toroi, kunli,

drumsticks, okra (lady fingers), banana flower.

-All leafy vegetables: spinach, salads, cabbages and leafy herbs like

parsley, curry leaves, neem leaves, etc.

-Grains: millet, barley, farina, dalia, pasta, rice, corn, all types of dahl

and all types of flour made from grains and beans (like rice flour, chickpea

flour, urad dahl flour, etc.)

-Starches from corn or grains and products made from and mixed with these

starches like: baking soda, baking powder, certain soft drinks, custard,

certain yogurts, puddings, cream cheese, sweets, candies and tapioca-balls.

-Oils made from grains: corn oil, mustard oil, sesame oil etc. and products

fried in these oils: nuts, potato chips certain snack foods.

-Honey

Spices that are used on Ekadasi are: turmeric, black pepper, ginger and

salt, taken from a new or clean package. Other spices not used: sesame

seeds, cumin seeds, hing, fenugreek, mustard seeds, tamarind, fennel,

celery, poppy seeds, kalonji seeds, ajwain seeds, cardemon, nutmeg, cloves

etc.

 

Foods that can be taken all days of the year, including Ekadasi and

Caturmasya:

-All fruits (fresh and dried), all nuts and oils made from nuts.

-Potatoes, pumpkin, cucumber, radish, squash (but no loki), green papaya,

lemon, jackfruit, avocado, olives, coconut, buckwheat, all sugars.

-All milk products, except pure milk and yogurt during Caturmasya and sweets

with starches on Ekadasi.

For brahmacaris: shaving head and cutting nails is done on full moon days.

JAYA JAGANNATHA!

 

Dear Kusha Mata,

 

Pranaams.

 

> The BPHS says Havana should be performed. I don't know what

havana is. 28 or

> 108 offerings should be made.

 

Havana is a Yajna, or fire sacrifice. Offering is made to the

devatas with specific mantras, with ghee into the sacrificial

fire.

 

Yours, Gauranga das

[Guest guest]

Dear Kusha Devi,

 

The point or important lesson is to read between the lines, to try to

understand what Maharishi Parasara was trying to say as the real meaning is

often far more deeper than what appears in the surface. I have given this

example of such an advanced Dasa system like the Moola Dasa to show the

depth of the knowledge of TRADITIONAL Jyotish, and leave this question until

a later date. However, keep thinking and keep reading.

 

Best Wishes

Sanjay Rath

Pranams! Jaya Jaya Sri Guru and Gouranga! So if I read in between the lines

the remedy is to worship Govinda, worship Govinda, worship Govinda!
