02/07/2020

Om Namasivaya Nama:

Dear Reader,

Very much delighted to upload this topic though I am a firm believer of Karma and the Karma deeds has to be undergone to nullify its deficit balance. However, many people are requesting simple guidance to this subject, therefore I took some spare time due to Covid19 to compile this guide for you. Please make use of it and do what is possible within your means with full dedication.

I said many times in my various discourses that it is better to do self-sacrifice than appointing someone to do for you. I mean whatever Mantra to be chanted and the charity to be made, it is better the afflicted person do it himself/herself than their parents or relatives doing the same quoting silly reasons!

A pdf link will be made available soon.

Om Aadhithyaaya Somaaya Mangalaaya Budhaaya Cha Guru sukra Sanibhyascha Rahave Kethave Nama:

Introduction

We all have arrived on this Earth as per the wish of Para Brahman, the Creator, the Almighty, the Supreme Soul etc.… We are here not by accident; we are part of that journey or process or system and our Aathma (Soul) is also a member of that system. According to Vedas there are three elements or objects always exists in this Brahmandam (Universe) irrespective of the lapse of time and space, they are; Universe, Self-born divine energy and Jeeva (Soul).

Now the creator (God) creates or give names, shapes and responsibilities to all its creations that we interact within our daily life. In this process, innumerable planets, stars including Sun and Moon got created for a function. There are seven plus two important and highly significant planets who get close influence over living beings especially humans. They are known as Navagrahaas (Nine controllers or authorities). To deal with these Navagrahaas the Creator also created a Sastra called Jyothi Sastram (Astrology). Astrology is not a science but a specialized applied science or an art. Now lets us see, how Navagrahaas becoming a Dosham giver (ill effects) for humans. The reality is that Navagrahaas, not the one who is creating Dosham for living beings; in fact, everyone’s own past and present Karma are the reason for it. Navagrahaas are executors who act as per the guidelines given in the Sastra or the order of the absolute truth (God). We will be born only based on Karma Deeds.

We, humans, do multiple good and bad Karmas during our life; accordingly, one must also accept the rewards whether good or bad. Navagrahaas will ensure that the rewards are given to the right person, right quality and quantity and get implemented in one’s life. All our Karmas are summarized into the following nine pockets due to our lifestyle. They are;

Doing good and bad to oneself
Doing good and bad to own family, education and wealth
Doing good and bad to brothers, sisters, friends and all types of interactors
Doing good and bad to mother and material family members
Doing good and bad to progeny, indulge in activities through the mind, hidden activities
Doing good and bad to enemies, medical treatments for self-sustain
Doing good and bad to spouse and their families
Doing good and bad to save a life, subordinates, emitting discharges, environmental
Doing good and bad to father and paternal family members, teachers, charity, God and Karmas.

A person is bound by the rewards of this important good and bad actions only. Accordingly, the Almighty gave the responsibilities to these nine planets to reward us promptly. There is no point in blaming Navagrahaas or God or anyone else for what we are undergoing. However, one must realize their mistakes of the past and ask for pardon in a specific manner, that is called Prayaschitham. In other words, one must nullify the debit/credit balance of their account to move forward towards betterment (sorrowless divine life). Therefore, in the Veda Sastras of Karma Kandam is giving specific remedy approach to nullify or pacify or reverse the effects of Karma Phala (Deeds) and that is what we are going to deal with it. Everyone will welcome the good rewards but afraid of bad, this is the truth! Therefore, the Prayaschitham is meant for defending or minimizing the impact of malefic effects. We need to accept one important rule that all mistakes can’t be pardoned, certain mistakes can be equalized only by mercy less punishment (that is why capital punishment is still exercised in our law system).

Navagrahaas are Sun, Moon (Stellar Planets), Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn (Planets), Raahu and Kethu (Shadow Planets). Only these nine Planets have more influence on human beings as oppose to other planets in this Universe. These Navagrahaas also directly representing or significators of our nine types of unavoidable activities.

For a layman, it is not easy to identify the weakness or malefic effects of a planet in their horoscope. Only a good astrologer will be able to identify (some good astrology software’s can also provide) and predict in advance that during a specific Dasa period the life will have terrible time due to malefic effects of the planetary position (Rewards of evil Karma Deeds).

There are some Six Upagrahaas also influence in our life which need not discuss here (They are mostly used for Muhoortha / Auspicious Time in elective astrology). These nine Planet’s influences were notified to us by Lord Maha Vishnu through Sage Parasara, Varaaha Mihira, Jaimini and other many prominent Sages of Bharata Khandam and other parts of the world. We know only Bharata Rishis but there are hundreds of western saints are doing their best to safeguard people in different parts of the world. Bharata Rishis is more approachable and ritualistic which is the easiest way to clean the malefic effects as compared to others. Therefore, now let us learn as how to handle this Prayaschitha Karma by ourselves.

The Prayaschitha Kriya (Remedies) has 16 folds approach. They are;

1. Praatha Smaranam (Wake up Prarthana), 2. Snaanam (Taking Usual Bath), 3. Aushadha Snaanam (Medicinal Bath), 4. Theertha Snaanam (Divinely Energized Bath), 5. Yanthra Dhaaranam (Mystical Diagram), 6. Vasthra Dhaaranam (Wearing specific cloths), 7. Pushpa Dhaaranam (Wearing specific flowers), 8. Rathna Dhaaranam (Wearing Precious Gemstones), 9. Pooja (Special Prayer), 10. Sthuthi (Praising the glories of specific God), 11. Namaskarams (Prostrating in a specific manner), 12. Japam (Chanting specific Mantram), 13. Dhaanam (Doing specific charity/offerings), 14. Homam (Offerings in the sacrificial fire), 15. Moorthi Bhajanam (Worshiping specific God), 16. Vrutham (Fasting).

What is exactly happening when we do Prayaschitha Kriya? There are two effects. The first one is an open effect and the second is a subtle effect. The open effect will give self-satisfaction that, I have asked for a pardon in a specific manner prescribed by the Veda Sastram to the respective authority. The subtle effect is when we do the Kriya, our body will produce certain specific hormones to overcome the fear and obstacles that caused trouble in life, since we are thinking about a solution to our problem in a particular manner. Accordingly, a person will get a positive effect and start leading happy life. In other words, our blemishes got vanished! All our ancient Maharishis want us to be happy in life, for that purpose they spent their valuable life to invent spiritual and non-vedic techniques. Such conclusion is recorded either in Ghnaana and Karma Kanda of Veda Sastram. Most of the remedial Kriyas will fall under Karma Kanda.

Now, lets us see how one should be able to do these Prayaschitha Kriyas by oneself and with the help of scholars. Even though this guide will enable a person to do his/her a few Prayaschitham by himself/herself. At the end to get the full benefit, you must give some amount of money as Dakshina (Cash or Kind) to a learned scholar. According to Dharma Sastram there will be no effect if you don’t give Dakshina to the right person for conducting any spiritual activities especially remedies.

Please note, all Prayaschitha Kriya must be done only after taking appropriate Sankalp (Resolution) in front of Deity/God or Lighted Lamp/Agni or a Brahmin Scholar.

Usually, any Prayaschitham will give a better result only when Lagna Lord or Moon Lagna Lord or 9^th house Lord gets aspect or some way of relationship with Jupiter (Guru). This aspect can be considered either from the natal chart or during Graha Chaaram (current position of planets). Sastra also expects the five purities (sudhis) while undertaking a spiritual task to get the full benefit. They are Mana suddhi, Mantra Uchharana suddhi, Dravya suddhi, Kriya suddhi and Deha suddhi. Without having these suddhis the desired results may not be achieved. Therefore, tries to be as sincere as possible rather than blaming sastras.

Now let us see the recommendations of our great sastras.

General Notes:

Daily do your spiritual worship whatever you are comfortable with, besides above, listen to spiritual upanyasam/prabhashanam, listen to your spiritual Guru’s advises and interact with wisemen & wise women only.
Take two times bath (morning and evening – morning means before Sunrise and evening means before Sunset. If odd times, then have a coconut oil lit lamp in the bathroom).

All the said Dosha Parihaarams may not be possible due to innumerable reasons especially during a bad time. However, whatever is possible within your limits must be done. God does not want wealth, properties and varieties of food items, all he is expecting us to repent for the known and unknown misstates and subsequent the sacrifice of comforts.

There are multiple ways of doing Prayaschitham recommended in the Sastras, however, I have carefully selected a few easy ones which can be done with or without the help of a scholar (priest).

Please note, during the Bhajanam days one must regularly visit the temple, holy places, taking two times bath, not to consume non-vegetarian foods and alcohol, try to eat the food offered to God, talk less and try to do Maouna Vruthum (vow of silence) and avoid adventurous activities.

You can come to know which Planet is weak or strong in your horoscope by utilizing this method. First, you need to download an Astro Software from https://www.vedicastrologer.org/jh/ then enter your birth details to cast your horoscope. Thereafter, go to “Strength” page and find out the results mentioned in “Shadbala %” and “Ashtavarga Bala”. To know your planets weakness use Shadbala. Whichever planet is showing the lowest percentage of strength that the planet is weak in your horoscope? During his Dasa and Sub-Dasa period, you can expect trouble, especially if that planet is having a cruel portfolio such as 6^th, 8^th, 12^th occupation. The Ashtavarga Bala indicates that low rating month will be the bad ones. Each month is representing one Sign/Raasi, it starts from Medam/Mesham till Meenam (i.e. the 2^nd box from top end is Mesham and the first box in Meenam. I am attaching a sample image of a horoscope for your understanding. Here the Jupiter is the weakest planet followed by Mercury. FYI Jupiter is 6^th and 9^th Lord positioning in 7^th house as a debilitated planet, indicating illness, unwanted travel, misunderstanding with spouse and elders, loss of wealth, illness related to stomach, thighs, secret parts, hip etc. Now you need to know which month these troubles could occur. Look at the Ashtavarga chart where Jupiter has fewer points in Kanya Raasi (Sep-Oct), this month will be the worst hit. As we know, the major bad event happens even once can complete derailing our life! So, this is the targeted month the fate is planned something for this Jaathakan (The Native).
There are multiple ways to ascertain a planet’s strength and weakness. Therefore, in case of any confusion, please consult a good professional astrologer.
I would like to warn you that you must be very careful while selecting the right precious gemstones! Some stones will have an adverse effect on you. Also, note stone’s carat or size to be fixed based on your body size (mass). Most of the gemstones will start giving the effect within 48 hours to 41 days’ time.
Some Bhijakshara Mantra and Gayathri Mantras are mentioned in the Prayaschitham, however, unless someone initiates such powerful Mantra it won’t give positive results. Therefore, in the absence of a competent Guru, consider Lord Soorya Narayana as your Guru and chant the Mantra.

May Gog Bless All
