Puja experiences

[Guest guest]

I thought I'd share some recent experiences. An elderly

family member suffered a stroke Memorial Day weekend, sometime

during the night probably. As you know, the sooner a stroke

victim can make it to the hospital the better, but oh well.

 

So I ordered the Siva Puja from Amma.org because it's supposedly

good for speedy recovery from an operation/illness and I'm glad that

she's doing a lot better everyday with her therapy in learning

to walk and talk again.

 

In my own life, I tend to look at the " symptoms " of life

and the prasna to create a sort of prescription of which

planetary pujas to order. So for my family member that was

being disrespected (+ ignored) by the doctors in her initial stroke

treatment, I knew this was a Ketu affliction and ordered one of those

too. Ketu also governs mental problems, loss of mind, so hopefully

that'll bring relief with her therapy (just ordered that one so I

don't know yet).

 

Another example is Rahu, which when afflicting you, will manifest

as:

 

1. Harassment by others to you

 

(person will usually show an upset mind of some sort.)

 

2. Finding yourself around smokers!!!!! (smoke hides things)

3. Being around toxic or poisonous people (ie, necessitates recovery)

or actual poisonous situations (chemicals, bad food, etc.)

4. Being stretched too thin (restless mind, scattered mind)

5. Hidden things, deception

(Rahu is the head only, as if the body/body's action is hidden)

 

With Rahu affecting the Sun (I see it as Divinity and/or Karma) and

the Moon (your mind), you can also order pujas to those to bring peace.

 

I really wish Amma's ashram offered pacifying pujas to the

main inauspicious birthstars (I think Amma's was one too), then I

wouldn't need so many Rahu pujas!
