Remedial aspects of Indian Astrology & Vastu
Everybody wants to be happy and prosperous in life, and life is the name of a journey, which is full of joys and sorrows, ups & downs, fear and tears, success and desires. But sometimes moments of disappointment make a life very painful. All good efforts go waste. What can one do when SO MANY NEGATIVE THINGS happen in life?
Well, you may go to an astrologer to find a solution. Astrologer listens to the problems and puts you on the right track by suggesting some remedies. Therefore, remedies constitute an essential part of astrology, which is incomplete otherwise.
In Indian astrology and Vastu, lot of importance is given to the remedial part. Yagya, Poojan, Vrata, Graha Shanti, Tantra, Mantra, Yantra Gems & Stones are all remedies which were mentioned in Veda, Purana and Upanishada. Everybody knows about 'Ashwamedha Yagya', performed by Lord Shri Ram after conquering Ravan. This is a classical example of the use of remedies since ancient times. Our focus will be on three main remedies i.e. Gem Stones, Yantra and Mantra.
All remedies can be broadly categorized into two parts :
General Remedies
There are number of techniques, which have remained the integral part of our life from a long time and everybody knows about them. These are our traditional Indian customs and rituals, which naturally drive us towards positive side of our life. Innumerable methods are there to improve our self by practicing Yoga, doing meditation, having fast, giving alms of cloths, food etc. to poor, perform religious activities at home like Yaga, Havan, Satsang etc. and sole aim behind all these is to improve present life as well as to correct our past by doing better and superior 'Karma' or deeds. Few examples are given below to further explain general remedies:
(a) If you are not achieving desired name, fame and full credits of your performance then start worshiping Sun. Being the ultimate source of light, Sun is definitely able to bring all these in your life. Also chanting 'Om Hiram Hirim Hirom Sah Suryaye Namah' Mantra and giving Arghya (water) to Sun in the morning, doing 'Surya Namaskar' or reading 'Aditya Hriday Srotra' are the most favourable methods of worshiping Sun.
(b) Chanting Mahamrityunjaya Mantra
Worshipping Lord Shiva always bring good health, luck and keeps diseases and other threats of life far away.
(c) It is generally said not to keep your legs toward South and the same should not face main door while sleeping. Vastu also recommends that. This is because South is the direction of Yama (The God of death)
(d) Place a fresh lemon with 7 green chilies tied in a black thread in front of your home, office, or showroom. It keeps the evil eyes away.
Many other examples are also there, like for unmarried girls, praying Guru Brihaspati or Lord Vishnu especially on Thursday provides them a suitable match quickly and also enhance the prospects of happy married life. During Sade Sati (7-1/2 years period when Saturn, in transit, moves through one's Moon sign) giving alms of things like black cloth, black pulses, mustard oil, black sesame, iron bowl, leather shoe on Saturday, is considered to provide much relief from Sade Sati's problems.
Specific Remedies
Articles, which have specific use like medicines, depending upon the nature of problems, comes under this category. Use of these items may vary from person to person, problem to problem. These remedies mainly comprise of gemstones and Yantra, Mantra. Let's discuss these one by one :
(a) Gemstones : These tiny, colorful valuable articles have mystical and magical powers and we all know that. They play an important role in treating various problems of human life. Indian astrology believes that most problems of life arise due to evil effect of some planets. There are total nine planets and therefore, to overcome each planet's ill effect, we have total nine major gemstones. If one is facing problems related to bad luck, litigation, job, promotion, tension among family member etc. then surely there is a solution by wearing a suitable gemstone. But accurate selection is really a tough process and due care should be taken while seeking an advice on this matter. Casual, or taken for granted approach is not allowed here. Due suggestions are required from qualified astrologer and, in my opinion; this should be decided on the basis of your accurate birth chart. It birth chart is not available then it is also possible to suggest appropriate stone, as per your problem by careful palm reading.
(b) Yantra : Yantra acts as an effective remedy and is being used since ancient times. Various Yantras are now well known for their magical effect, to solve specific problems. One important thing to be mentioned here is that use of Yantra is much simple and it offers you the easiest way to achieve success. But it should be understood that to get the full benefit from a Yantra, appropriate Mantra should also be chanted in order to activate it fully. Role of important Yantras is elaborated further below : (a) Crystal Sri Yantra : To achieve health, wealth, peace, success in everything you do. It belongs to Goddess Tripur Sundari Laliteshwari.
(b) Haridra Ganesh Yantra with Haridra Ganapati : This belongs to Lord Ganpati, who removes all obstacles in life. This Yantra acts as a suitable remedy for Vastu defects in you premises.
Besides, there are served other Yantras to solve different problems, like Kaal Sarp Yoga Yantra, for treating Kaal Sarp Yoga, Saraswati Yantra for smooth education, Maha Mrityunjay Yantra for good health, Vastu Dosh Nashak Yantra for treating Vastu Dosh and Maruti Yantra for prevention from accident. But proper installation and worshipping is must to get the full benefits from a Yantra and this should be kept well in the mind.
(c) Mantras : Mantra are also proven remedies. Effect of reciting Mantra is very well known. Actually, all Mantras work on the principle of resonance. Every Mantra is able to resonate well with certain vibes, or frequencies, present in our atmosphere, By doing this it gives us the active energy to achieve our desired goal. This is a kind of energy transformation, which works on the principles of energy conservation. That's why in my opinion Mantra therapy is the easiest of all and effective too. I'd like to name it 'Waves Therapy'. For your benefit I am giving the few useful Mantras as follows :
1. Whenever going out for an important work or while going on your daily job chant "Om Gan Ganpataya Namah" five, or eleven times. This will always give you success and good luck.
2. For good education all students are required to write the lines given below on a white paper and put it on their study tables to have good concentration and success in exams :
Guru Griha Padhan Gaye Raghurai.
Alpa Kaal Vidhya Sab Aayee.
3. For health problems always chant "Mahamrityunjay Mantra" 11 times daily in the morning.
4. For keeping the evil effect of planets away from you, please chant this "Navgraha Mantra" daily once in the morning.
"Brahma Murari Tripurant Kari Bhano Shasi Bhaum Suto Budhascha Gurushcha, Shukra, Shani, Rahu, Ketu, Kurvantu Sarve Mam Suprabhatam".
5. For having success in life, always chant "Om Namo Bhagwate Vasudevaye" whenever you find time.
At the end, I would like to mention that Indian astrology and Vastu Shastra are the great Indian ancient sciences, which show right path to everyone in this world, so that he or she can achieve worldly success in every sphere of life and not only to achieve worldly success, but also for spiritual upliftment.
