Dear

List,

Namaste

 

Here

are some SJC notes I’ve found on Badhakesh.

BADHAKA

When Jupiter is

Badhaka lord and not placed in Trik Sthana , person is troubled by

progeny / pupil etc. Badhakesh is like Ganesha (vighneshwara ). On Badhaka day

pray lord Ganesha for smooth functioning. Any planet in Badhaka place can take

one to Ganeshji. A malefic planet in Badhaka place can be terrible. A

benefic there is good. For Badhaka sthanas donot do Ugra Puja; always do

shanty Puja.

Sign in Badhaka house shows the place of trouble. Badhaka lord

shows the person causing trouble. Planets in Badhaka house show real

influence.

LL always behaves like Mars -- it gives strong body etc. 9L

always behaves like Vishnu. If AK is with Mars ( who is Badhakesh) -- not

very happy in life – worship Krishna.

Prasna

Marga cites additional notes on ‘Houses of Harm’ or badhak sthana

as given in Table V-2.

In

this method, the quadrants of the house of harm can also be harmful. This

is based on the principle of Paraspara Karaka i.e. doing each other’s job

when the planets / signs are placed in mutual quadrants.

 

WRATH

OF THE DEITY

The

wrath of the deity is to be judged based on various factors. As

indicated, the 12th house from the Atmakaraka is the place of the

Devata and it is from the 12th house from the Badhakesh that the

past life history of maintenance of the deity is to be deciphered. If the

Badhakesh in an average place and afflicted, and if a Malefic planet is placed

in the 12th house from the Badhakesh, the indications are that the

worshipped image has been mutilated. This brings the wrath of the

deity signified by the Badhakesh. Depending on

the malefic planet / Upagraha involved, the following can be inferred.

 

1.

If Gulika / Rahu: Indicates a curse of the Serpent deity or

the cause of the curse being a serpent such as serpent having touched the image

of the deity has made it impure.

 

It Saturn: Pollution / dirt on the image /

temple.

If Mars: Disputes / bad management of

worship / image / temple etc.

 

 

The

fault leading to the wrath of the deity can be narrowed down as follows:-

Depending on the placement of the Badhakesh

If

the Badhakesh is in Lagna and associates with evil planets, then it is the

idol, which has been mutilated. If Mars aspects / joins Badhakesh:

breaking idol, image or any sacred object associated with the deity. A

fresh idol has to be installed in a temple. If Saturn, Gulika or Rahu

associate, pollution and dirt have made the idol impure. If Sun associates,

then it is due to birds.

If

the Badhakesh is in the fourth house, then the temple is either broken /

dilapidated (Mars affliction) and needs repairs, or has been forgotten or

unclean (Saturn / Rahu) and needs to be sanctified.

 

If

the Badhakesh is in the 2nd or 11th house, then the deity’s

wealth has been stolen or misappropriated. This property is Dhatu

(Inanimate object), Moola (grains, trees, lands etc.) or Jeeva (Men, Animals

etc.) depending on the Lagna as being movable, fixed or dual if

unoccupied.

 

If

a planet occupies Lagna, then Mercury and Jupiter signify Jeeva, Sun &

Venus signify Moola and the others (Moon, Mars, Saturn and Rahu) signify

Dhatu. Similarly, the stars reckoned from Aswini are in the order of

Dhatu, Moola & Jeeva.

Similarly,

inferences can be made from the other houses.

 

Depending on the Lord of the sign occupied by Badhakesh, the

Tatwa (Element) signified shall indicate the following:

REMEDIAL MEASURES

then the remedy should be suggested based on the placement of the

Badhakesh in different houses from Lagna as given in Table V-3 and the planet

associated as given in Table V-5.

Wrath

of Sarpra Deva

Rahu

in 4, 6, 7 8, 10, 12 house requires propitiation. If Rahu is connected in

any way with Badhakesh, these remedial measures are compulsory. If

Jupiter associates with the Badhakesh and is placed in a Dusthana and if Rahu

is a quadrant from Jupiter, then the curse is from superior or

divine serpents.

 

If

Gulika is in quadrants instead of Rahu, then these are inferior serpents.

If the Sun associates with Rahu, then the serpents are beneficial and

essential and essentially intent in long term good, while the Moon

associating with Rahu shows evil-minded serpents intent on causing disaster.

The following remedies have been prescribed in the Prasna Marga and other

traditional texts:

 

1)

Rahu in 6th,

8th, 10th or Badhak House: Sarpa Bali as per prescribed

texts.

2)

Rahu in 4th

House: Installation of image of Sarpa Devata or dedicate a Chitra Kuta

stone.

3)

Rahu in 12th

House: Music & singing.

4)

Rahu in fist house:

Sprinkling milk (Tharpana) over the abode of serpents or over an image of the

Snake God (Nagaraja / Vasuki) in a temple.

5)

Rahu in seventh

House: Dancing and devotional songs.

6)

Rahu in dual sign:

dedicate a small serpent made of gold or copper (symbolic of the body snakes

killed)

7)

Rahu in movable

sign: small eggs of gold or silver be offered (symbolic of the

broken eggs of the snakes)

8)

Rahu in fixed sign:

Plant trees (Symbolic of the replacement of the destroyed ant hills

and abodes of the serpents

 

WRATH

OF PARENTS

The

Badhak sign should be Aries / Scorpio (indicating the anger/fire of mars)

to show the presence of a curse. The Sun (natural significator of father)

should be in this Badhak sign in Rasi or Navamsa to show the curse of

father: Similarly, the Moon (natural significator of mother) should be in

the aforementioned Badhak sign to show the curse of Mother.

 

The

Badhakesh associated with Leo & with Mars/Saturn shows the anger /

sorrow of the father or some paternal elder respectively. The Badhakesh

associated with Cancer & with Mars / Saturn shows the anger / sorrow

of the mother or some maternal elder respectively.

 

6th

lord in 9th house or 9th lord in 12th house or

the Sun in the sixth shows the displeasure of father. Similarly, the 6th

lord in 4th house lord in 12th house or the Moon in the 6th

house shows the displeasure of mother.

 

Serve

your parents if they are alive. Perform Sharddh or work for some

elderly persons in the memory of your parents if they are dead.

Mars so placed shows the curse or brother, Venus of spouse etc. The

ritual called Tila homa can be performed if the parent is dead.

 

PRETA BADHA (SPIRITS OF THE DEAD)

If

the funeral ceremonies or annual rites called Shraddh of the dead are not

performed, then it is believed that such a dead person remains in the form of a

Pishacha & effects relations. The presence of Gulika / Ketu in the

Badhak sign shows the danger. The malefic associating with Gulika shows

the cause of death of the Pisacha.

 

If

Gulika / Ketu is in any manner associated with Mars by conjunction, aspect or

is placed in Aries or Scorpio, it shows sudden death or accident, burns,

weapons, small pox etc.

 

If

instead of Mars, the association was with Saturn, misery & poverty may be

the cause of death.

 

Rahu

associating with Gulika shows snakebite and other deadly poisons.

Similarly,

the sign occupied by Gulika / Ketu show the sex of the Pisacha. If Gulika

associates with the 4th house or lord in some manner, then the

Pisacha is related to the family, if not, then it is outside. The

ashottaramsa (D-108) is the age of the Preta / Pisacha. Other details can

be learnt from standard texts. Remedies include Parvana, Sharaddh, Tila

Homa etc. Depending on the affliction, Pooja / Mantra of Ugra Devata should be

prescribed.

DRISTI BADHA (THE EVIL EYE)

The

‘evil eye’ has been classified as three kids of demons. Their names

are always “Kamas’ as the evil eyes is causes by desire (Kama).

 

Ranthu Kamas causes worries and is indicated by the Badhakesh in

Lagna or associating with Lagna Lord and Gulika.

Hanuthu Kamas is intent on killing, and is seen by the association of

the Badhakesh with the 6th or 8th house or its lord

and the Lagna or Lagna lord. Relief comes from the aspecting benefic

planet.

Bali Kamas desires some form of Bali

(sacrificial offering). This is indicated by Rahu / Gulika is in 4th,

5th, 7th or 8th house. If 6 lord

conjoins / aspects, the problem is due to enemy’s action.

 

 

Always

look for a natural benefic planet in quadrants to the Rahu / Gulika or

aspecting or associating with the Badhak. Gemstones of the benefic planet

should be worn and the deities indicated should be worshipped and given

offerings.

 

ABHICHARA (BLACK MAGIC)

Indications

of black magic are:

 

Badhakesh association with 6th

house or lord, or

6th lord in 1st, 7th,

or 12th house as Mars occupies as aspects Lagna.

Ketu is 1st, 4th, or

10th as Mars aspect Lagna.

 

 

Position

of Gulika indicates this stuff used for black magic.

 

Mrityunjaya

Japa, Ganapati or Tila Homa indicate the relief. The basic motive for

black is driving the enemy away from the locality, kill him or cause

Lunacy. Anything can be done against him like giving him food (polluted)

/ burying material inside his house etc.

 

REMEDIAL

MEASURES

Jupiter

& 9th lord help / protect. A natural benefic in the 9th

or 9th Lord in strength in a quadrant or Jupiter in Lagna /

aspecting Lagna are a few of the combinations for protection. If malefic

are a quadrant to them, they will strongly block the efficacy. The 9th

Lord can also be the Lord of 2, 4, 6, 8, 10 & 12 houses respectively. For

example, if the 9th Lord is also Lord of 2nd house then,

start the remedial process by worshipping the Kuladevata.

 

If

any planet conjoined or aspected by a natural benefic or a natural benefic

itself is in Lagna, then the person shall surely be protected by the deity

indicated by the planet.

 

If

the 9th Lord associates with the Badhak House or Badhakesh, then the

deity he worshipped in his previous birth has been neglected, thereby leading

to misfortune and troubles. If the 4th Lord is associated with

the Badhak House or Badhakesh, then it is the Gram Devata. If the 2nd

Lord associates with the Badhak House or Badhakesh, then it is the Kula

Devata. Advise resumption of worship immediately.
