Somnath- The Nectar of Youth God

This temple, as obvious from the name, is dedicated to Somnath, one of the 12 Jyotirlingas of Lord Shiva.

There is quite a myth and legend that envelops the temple. According to folklore, Som is the name of the Moon God and was the son-in-law of Daksha. When Som was given some directions by Daksha, Som disregarded them. Daksha got furious and cursed Som that his light will wane. Before the curse, the moon was believed to be equally bright every night! After the curse, other Gods pleaded with Daksha to take it back. Daksha relented and asked Som to take a bath at the mouth of River Saraswati and worship Lord Shiva. The Lord was happy with his penance and reduced the waning to what we know as the lunar cycle.  Since then, Lord Shiva is known as Somdev. The Somdev Temple is believed to have been built by the Moon God Himself. People feel so because the temple has stood the test of time and vandals.

The Somdev Temple was apparently built by the Moon God in gold. Then Ravana supposedly rebuilt it in silver, then by Lord Krishna is wood and finally by Bhim, the second brother of the Pandavas, in stone. 

Ganesh Chaturthi 18th Sep 2012 onwards

GANESH CHATURTHI

On the day of the festival, THE IDOL is placed on raised platforms in homes or in elaborately decorated outdoor tents for people to view and pay their homage. The priest, usually clad in red silk dhoti and shawl, then invokes life into the idol amidst the chanting of mantras. This ritual is called 'pranapratishhtha'. After this the 'shhodashopachara' (16 ways of paying tribute) f

ollows. Coconut, jaggery, 21 'modakas' (rice flour preparation), 21 'durva' (trefoil) blades and red flowers are offered. The idol is anointed with red unguent or sandal paste (rakta chandan). Throughout the ceremony, Vedic hymns from the Rig Veda and Ganapati Atharva Shirsha Upanishad, and Ganesha stotra from the Narada Purana are chanted.

For 10 days, from Bhadrapad Shudh Chaturthi to the Ananta Chaturdashi, Ganesha is worshipped. On the 11th day, the image is taken through the streets in a procession accompanied with dancing, singing, to be immersed in a river or the sea symbolizing a ritual see-off of the Lord in his journey towards his abode in Kailash while taking away with him the misfortunes of all man.

Transform your Love Life through Vastu & Feng Shui

Love is the corner stone of any harmonious home and Vaastu and Feng Shui are potent and interesting tools to be used prudently to enhance the feelings of passion and affection.

When your home is Vastu-friendly:

• The feelings of bonding and sensitivity are ignited easily,
• They have a higher chance of getting reciprocated by your partner,
• The mental wavelength matches and there are common dreams built that the emotional bonding helps to fulfil.

The directional understanding is the first step towards building a Love Rich home. As per feng shui, the direction of relationships and passion is South West. Look at the diagram below to follow this.

---

The element is Earth which signifies the importance of having a well grounded and stable relationship for the emotional well being of a person. Activating this direction brings good luck to romance within the house and keeps the juices of passion flowing. This direction should be absolutely clutter free. The more the clutter here, the more the positive “chi” will be trapped here and give rise to blocked emotions and misunderstandings in the relationship of the mates in the house. The area should be well lit and also should be regularly energised by the tinkling of bells and burning of incense/aroma candles. Relationships need constant reaffirmations to flourish, thus the more you energise this direction, the more it will be cleansed of even an iota of negativity and there will be no scope where marital tension can actually germinate. Hanging crystal ball/5 stick chime also absorbs the currents of mistrust and helps to dissipate the clawing clouds of unrest in the relationships. The bedroom of the master couple in the house should be in the South West Direction. Both Vastu (Indian spatial science) and Feng Shui (Chinese spatial science) agree whole heartedly on the “Direction of Relationships” having its element as Earthy. This is a very interesting observation because out of the 5 elements, Panchmahabhoot, Earth is the only one to be the most well endowed element having the attributes of touch, smell, taste, colour and form. Thus, activate the earthiness of the Relationship corner to keep your Love Life glowing. Let’s go through what an ideal “Love-nest” should be like:

• The bed is best placed in SW direction of the couple’s bedroom.
• Cupboards/closets are best in the South or West.
• Cupboard containing cash, jewellery, family heirlooms should be placed in a way it opens towards North.
• Dressing should be in east and if the dressing mirrors are reflecting the bed, it can lead to multiplying of sexual energies and looking for pleasures outside the marriage. Keep the dressing mirror free of reflections of the bed.
• Walls are best kept white/light pink. Red should be avoided unless the associated planets are weak in the horoscope of the master of the house.
• Do not keep metallic objects in this direction as Metal tends to diminish the Earthy element.
• Avoid metal beds/night stands/dressers/doors in the bedroom.

North East is the opposite side of the NE-SW axis and brings in the positive, refreshing energy that keeps the love alive in the house. Thus this direction should be low lying and designed in a way that maximum fresh air and spiritual elements are let into the house leading to thoughts of monogamy and faithfulness.

Tips for Energising the Love Direction of your Home: If you are already facing conflicts or frequent arguments at home with your spouse, also check the SE corner of your home. Too much fire element here could be leading to aggression and ego enhancement in the body. This is a subtle process and the person does not realise it. Hence analyse yourself if you are behaving unusually short tempered these days. Cleanse your bedroom by performing the “Navgraha shanti” Pooja done in this direction of your home. Re-cleanse it everyday by blowing a conch shell and lighting incense sticks every day in that corner. Place a photograph of the couple taken during happy times. Place 2 heart shaped crystals with a red ribbon in this direction of bedroom. This enhances the feeling of the wedding vows being permanent.  Strengthen the earth element by keeping large, decorative terracotta vases in the bedroom. Keep pink and red artificial long stalks of flowers in this. Growing potted bamboo trees in the SW corner of living/dining room is very auspicious. This augments the fertility of a relationship making it deepen with time. Vastu and Feng Shui are wonderful to manipulate (positively) the energies of your home to let the “Love” elements remain in the environment while the negative ones are flushed out. -Rrachita Gupta

The human brain looks just like the Universe

Have a look at these 2 images and u will have a Eureka moment of "Yatha pinde tatha brahmande, yatha brahmande tatha pinde"---"As is the individual, so is the universe, as is the universe, so is the individual". 

The reason why this is believed is because the Vedic conception of the universe is comparable to that of a FRACTAL. A fractal is known for its self-repeating nature and the universe as described in the Vedas is mentioned as having the same patterns reproduced in all levels of the cosmos.

Why are children born at same time/date/place having different destiny paths? Is'nt their horoscope identical?

Once a foreigner interested in the philosophy of Hinduism was waiting for Darshan of Mahaperiva( Most revered Mahaswami)  at Kanchi Mutt to clarify his doubt. Shortly, he got his appointment and without wasting time, he put forth his question.

Swamiji, I understand all your concepts, value them but for one particular faith (i.e.) same soul taking various births, papa, p

unya being carried forward to the next births etc. Can you please make me comfortable on this aspect? Because, in all our religions, we get the reward for what we do in this birth only. (i.e.) if we are honest, God is pleased and blesses us with benefits and we are dishonest, we get punished by Him.

At this point, Periva asked him, whether he owns a car and if he could do a favour of collecting some statistical information within Kancheepuram using his vehicle. The guest readily agreed, at the same time wondering why his question was not answered spontaneously.

Please, Swamiji, go ahead, What is the service you expect me to do now?

Periva said, Please go around 10 maternity centres within Kancheepuram and collect the data of children born within the last 2 days - Child's gender, health condition, parents name, status, educational qualification, time of birth.

The man said - Fine, this is nothing, - immediately rushed in his car like Lord Muruga goes in Thiruvilayadal and within a day he was back in the matam with exact statistics in front of Mahaperiva. He went through the statistics, about 15 children were born in 10 hospitals, 8 female and 7 male infants, out of which 3 children had malnutrition defects, 2 children were the first child of highly rich parents born in luxury hospitals, while 4 were children of coolie labourers who already had few children.

Maha Periva now looked at the gentleman and started asking few questions:

Do you think any of these children have been honest / dishonest within 2 days of their birth? Probably they could not even recognize their own mother. So, they have neither earned papa or punya in this birth.

According to your concepts, all these children should be living exactly identical to each other, but not so practically, some are ill, some are healthy, some are born to rich parents, some are born to poor parents. Remember all children born in the same day, same longitude, latitude, you can't blame their horoscope which is going to be almost identical.

The gentleman was dumbfounded!

It is here the concept of previous birth erupts! All these children have taken their present birth according to their deeds (karma) and the resultant papa, punya which they have assimilated in their previous births.

The "Lonely Moon" and Kemdrum Dosha

Moon, whether in Astrology or Tarot or any other metaphysical science has the most critical rule to play in terms of interpretation.

Moon is an auspicious planet and to have it strong and well placed means easy success in life.

Its the fastest moving planet and thus represents the ever-changing human affairs most strongly. All transits and all dashas are gauged by the Nakshatra/Sign of the natal Moon.

Moon is also the karaka(significator) of the HUMAN MIND AND EMOTIONS and what makes a man. Its the entire response system and emotional stability of a person.

Now when this important celestial body in the chart is afflicted and LONELY or what is technically called the "KEMDRUM DOSH", problems in the person's relationships, finance and stability are bound to occur.

How does the KEMDRUM DOSH occur?

1) The Moon has no planets in the 12th and 2nd house from it.

2) There are no planets in Kendra from it.

3) There are no planets in the Kendra houses of the chart.

Out of this the 1st condition is the most potent.

There are some parihar(softening) of this dosh viz when Moon is conjunct/benefic aspect of Jupiter or when Moon itself moves into one of the Kendra houses.

On the whole this DOSH gives complete inability to make full use of prosperity and opportunities and extreme emotional distance from the world and its complications. It leads to loneliness, detachment and very high level of emotional anxiousness and even depression at times.

Remedies should be performed to strengthen this Moon. Meditation, Yoga, Daily affirmations, Rock Salt and Sugar Baths work wonders. After astrological consultation, gem stone can be worn that balances out the negativity of the Kemdrum Dosh by boosting other masculine planets. 

Pearl/Moon stone should not be worn.

Shiva and NUMBER 3 Magic

LORD SHIVA COMPLETES THE "TRIDEV" OR THE COSMIC TRINITY. NO 3 stands for "BRIHA" literally meaning Expansion and Growth and is the root word for BRAHMAN. LETS EXPLORE THE MAGIC OF NO.3. IN THE AURA SURROUNDING SHIVA.
-RG-

*The mountains, 

abode of Lord Shiva are upward pointing triangles.
* The marks on Shiva's forehead are 3 horizontal lines
* The face has 3 eyes or TRINETRA.
*The bilva (bel patra) has 3 leaves, reminding us of the Trishool.
* The posture of the hermit with crossed legs and extended hands is that of an upward pointing triangle.
* The TRISHUL has 3 blades.
* The damroo(rattle drum) is made of two Triangles.

At every Hindu ritual, SHANTI, SHANTI, SHANTI is chanted-This means peace thrice over.
This signifies the 3 parts of the BRAHMAND that Lord Brahma has created- ME (mind and body) MINE(all that I possess) AND ALL THAT IS NOT MINE.(All that is beyond me and whats mine)

Humans yearn to come to terms with this TRUPURA(3 CITIES). Realisation of the true nature of the TRIPURA will unfortunately reveal their mortal nature and thus the futility of clinging to them. SHIVA IS TRIPURANTAKA, who reveals this Reality and hence destroys TRIPURA .

I believe he is the GOD OF SEAMLESSNESS.

Ketu gives best results when ?? (in a kundali/astro chart)

Ketu( (Sanskrit: केतु,) is the South Node of The Moon and as per the mythology of Samudra Manthan (Churning of the Great Ocean) , he is the headless dev .


 In Hindu mythology, Ketu is generally referred to as a "shadow" planet. It is believed to have a tremendous impact on human lives and also the whole creation. In some special circumstances it helps someone achieve the zenith of fame. Ketu is often depicted with a gem or star on his head signifying a mystery light.

Ketu is the planet denoting detachment from worldly desires. While its head component Rahu is avaricious and a greedy and scheming go-getter(the degree is determined by what sign Rahu is placed in), Ketu is the planet representing Connection with the Divine, supernatural and meta-physical phenomena.


Ketu is most uncomfortable in the Airy signs because it is headless with no intellectual acumen and the added responsibility of "thinking", "intellectualising and analysing"(typical traits of the Air element) makes it feel chaotic and squirmy.


It feels most comfortable in the signs of Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. These are watery signs and indicate mutability, emotions and in the division stand for WATER that belongs to no specific LOK but are transcendental. 


4,8,12 or the 23 watery signs are the MOKSH signs(as per the Hindu partition of Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha as the 4 pillars of human life purposes) and having the divine Ketu in any of these signs especially Scorpio and Pisces makes a person very fruitful in its functions denoted by Ketu.


Ketu wants to conect with the Universal energy and aims towards attaining Moksh or the universal NOTHINGNESS which Hindu religion talks about.


Ketu is happiest when IT IS. It wants neither happiness, nor sadness, neither comforts nor penury. It just wants to unfathom the mysteries of life by BEING. And the perceptive, occult oriented, deep, penetrating sign of Scorpio and Pisces are where it thrives.


And Ketu by Parashari  astrology school is regarded as exalted in SCORPIO.

Is Rahu really exalted and debilitated? AND why?

Is Rahu really exalted and debilitated? AND why?

Rahu's exaltation and debilitation is a very controversial qn in astrology and there are multiple opinions on it. Actually Rahu is a smokey, hazy planet with no form of its own and generally acquires the personality and mind of the sign it occupies. It rapidly mutates itself and gives results in a kundali as per the sign Lord it is occupying. Thus a Rahu in Leo will be arrogant and showoff while a Rahu of Cancer might be magnanimous in its emotions.

Now where does Rahu feel most comfortable?

Its a materialistic, aspirational planet who never feels satisfied with what it has achieved and is always on the search for MORE, MORE, MORE especially material wealth, fame and authority.

Thus going by its intrinsic nature it feels most COMFORTABLE in EARTHY SIGNS like TAURUS, VIRGO AND CAPRICORN.

*In Taurus its goal of financial security is achieved since thats the guiding principle of this sign. It gets its ideology of acquiring more and more wealth and status symbols just right in TAURUS and thats why most astrologers believe that Taurus is the exaltation sign of Rahu,

*In Virgo it acquires the smartness, the mental acumen to calculate and really devise practical ways to acquire the material wealth that it so hungers for. Virgo is the sign of commerce and calculation and business, something Rahu loves to do and is passionate about.

* In Capricorn it gets the discipline and the sharp focus without any distractions(a Saturn quality) and the strong mindedness to pursue its goals of attaining prosperity and authority.

These are all earthy signs (2,6,10) where the mind and intellect rules and there is detachment from other distractions. 

Rahu feels most UNCOMFORTABLE in watery signs because they instead of giving him clear cut ambition and ruthlessness tend to pull him into a vortex of emotions. EMOTIONS CONFUSE Rahu and he wants to escape the pulls of the heart wherever possible. Thats why Rahu feels POWERLESS IN SCORPIO which is the most profound and deep of the sensitive, watery signs. Scorpio is a sign which questions and questions the motives and wants to get to the core of the matter. Rahu is irritated by all this personal, intimate questioning and wants to be aloof to make his shrewd policies and gain maximum in the minimum time.

Thats the reason why Rahu is "considered" exalted or MOST COMFORTABLE/POWERFUL in Taurus and most powerless in SCORPIO.

Importance of Navamsa Kundli-D9 CHART (DIVISIONAL CHART)

Importance of Navamsa Kundli-D9 CHART (DIVISIONAL CHART)

It is believed that, if the birth-chart is body of Kaalpurush then the Navamsa chart is its soul. The accurate prediction is incomplete without each other. The results of a planetary positions cannot be determined without the birth-chart while the strength of the planet which are in the malefic or benefic position in the ascendant chart can be cross checked with the position of the planets in the Navamsa chart.

As per the ancient scholars and astrologers, if the planet is weak in the birth chart and is strong in the Navamsa then the planet is not weak. In the same way if the planet is inauspicious in the birth chart and is auspicious in the Navamsa chart then the planet will be considered as auspicious. If the conjunction of ascendant lord of birth-chart and Navamsa chart is auspicious, then the person will be fortunate.


The concept of Vargottam is also judged with the help of Navamsa. Vargottam means if the planetary position in a zodiac sign in the birth chart and in the Navamsa chart is same. Then, that planet is Vargottam (eg. if the Sun is placed in the Aries in birth chart and in Navamsa also, then the Sun is placed in Aries). This placement makes the planet further stronger.

DAAN/DONATION most fruitful if done in right NAKSHATRA

Many people want to do DAAONATION) so if we have some scriptural knowledge that what to gift in which Nakshatra(constellation) then the returns/blessings can be multiplied.
-RG-

Nakshatra Daan

(Chap 192) Yudhishthir said - "I heard many kinds of Daan, now I want to hear about the things which should be donated for various Nakshatra." Krishn said - "Once Naarad Jee came to Dwaarakaa and my mother Devakee asked him the method of Nakshatra Daan, whatever he told her, I am telling you now.

Moon in Scorpio- Debillitated State

Moon in Vrishchik or Scorpio is very interesting. Its said to be debilitated or NEECH when 0-3 degrees in scorpio.

I personally believe and have found in my personal experience of studying the charts that SUN AND MOON are 2 NATURAL LUMINARIES and can never really be debilitated. Their power only gets reduced somehow.

Having a neech moon is not negative. People may have normal life even with this alignment. Moon is about stability. It does not create turmoil in your life.

Moon is about intensity. Moon in this rashi means very vivid mental imagery and a very intense childhood. Mother may be autocratic and in youth you may be rebellious because of this constrained environment. You may become self defensive because subconsciously you are attacking the leashes that ur childhood ambience forced on you. Thats why these people come across as stingy, on the edge and vindictive to most others who  do not understand them.

Debilitated moon is not a debilitated/weak mind. It means a VERY INTENSE MIND, capable of absorbing informations and psychic waves that no normal mind is capable of. Its an investigative mind. In a relationship you talk smartly to find out what makes the person tick. You avoid being controlled and thus get extra information to keep yourself safe.

Uncanny interest in the UNKNOWN, PARANORMAL, TABOO SUBJECTS, METAPHYSICS etc , also make fearless generals and policemen and also attorneys. They are INVESTIGATIVE LITTLE DYNAMOS.

There are 3 nakshatras in Moon in scorpio- Vishakha(ruledby Jupiter), Anuradha(Saturn) and Jyeshtha(Mercury.). Which is the nakshatra your Moon actually lies in will  modify the attributes of the Scorpio Moon too.

Its about passions, passion for finding the truth. You study and analyse with more fierce determination than any other sign. Its a sign of great mental strength. It gives an obsessive, unique mind. JUST BE SURE TO DONT GET ON THEIR WRONG SIDE.

If they love you, they will love you to death, every breath will be filled with your thoughts.

If they dislike you, well.....be prepared to HAVE UR LIFE STORY UNFOLDED BIT BY BIT by this intense, digging, sharp mind.

Heart Disease- The Planetary story

The heart is the centre stone, the central fuel tank of the wonderful human machinery.

Its sound functioning is integral to a person's well being and healthy blood pumping and circulation.

Sun is the primary karaka of the human heart in a kundali and how strong or weak the Sun is(measured by various astrological technical data parameters) will decide how strong your heart is.

Moon controls the blood flow into the heart.

Mars controls the muscle element in the body and since Heart is the most vitally throbbing muscle in the body, this planet also has to be studied carefully.

Jupiter  is also integral since it controls the arteries and the veins.

If Sun is well placed but Jupiter it might lead to artery blockage. Needs to be checked.

The HOUSE of heart is the 4th house.

Thus if there is Sun in 4th house but its debilitated, it means a heart problem of great intensity since its the hub area of this organ with nopower of its own.
So while looking at a heart ailment in chart, study the SUN and the 4TH HOUSE  IN DETAIL. THESE ARE PRIMARY.
The No2 significators are MOON, MARS AND JUPITER.

Going a level deeper, the astrologer needs to see also the nakshatra in which these planets are placed. That gives you  a good idea of whether a heart attack can occur and the timing of the event.

WHY IS WATER OFFERED TO LORD SHIVA?

WHY IS WATER OFFERED TO LORD SHIVA?

Jalabhishek(water offering) appeases Lord Shiva and makes all the wishes come true. According to legends, during sagar mathan a very deadly poison emerged from the depth of the sea. This poison could destroy the whole creation of God.

Lord Shiva drank that poison in order to save the world. Although, he did not let the poison reach his stomach but he still felt the side effects of the poison. He felt as if he was on fire. This is why offering water to Lord Shiva is considered good.

Neelkanth feels pacified and cared for.

Offering water to Lord Shiva appeases him and helps us attain 'moksha'. Water represents knowledge and ignorance is considered the reason behind the cycle of birth and death.

HOW TO CLEAN YOUR AURA OF BACK STABBING FRIENDS

Try this technique with the power of the YOUR INNER GOD TO "GET OUT OF YOUR SYSTEM" THE PEOPLE WHO BACKSTABBED YOU.

You may need to do this several times. If after doing this exercise the situation or person still brings up emotion, repeat the following day or more until it feels "flat". Do this no more than once a day.


***************

Stabbed in the back by a “frenemy”

Unfortunately, many of us have had this experience. Someone you thought was a friend turned around and betrayed you. Maybe she started a cyber-bullying campaign against you. Maybe he slandered you to the boss. Maybe she seduced your boyfriend.

Whatever happened, you can still feel the knife in your back. And it hurts. You lost more than just a friendship. You lost trust in that person, and you may have also lost trust in your ability to choose friends wisely.

Other than indulging in revenge fantasies, what can you do so you don’t have to carry around that painful connection to a “frenemy?”

There is a shamanic technique I learned long ago that can recover your energy lost in the encounter and disconnect you from that person. It’s a simple but powerful technique.

My blog on the Huffington Post about how to remove that virtual knife from your back:

There was a gal I knew in college -- let's call her Lola -- who delighted in sleeping with the boyfriends of other girls. Lola would get friendly with the couple, the unsuspecting gal would start to trust Lola, and wham! Lola would seduce her guy. Lola got whatever Lola wanted, and you got an energetic knife in the back. As the saying goes, with friends like these, who needs enemies?

One minute you're red-hot furious at Lola; you'd like to poke out her eyes and drop-kick her across town. The next minute you're wondering what you did wrong. How come you didn't see this coming? Aren't you sexy enough for him? Too fat? Too flat-chested? Too bossy?

You may start to feel like you've got a constant cold, your immune system is shot, you're gaining weight from drowning your sorrows in ice cream, you've let yourself go, and you're just so tired all the time. Where has your energy, your passion for life, gone? Other than going after Lola with a pitchfork, what can you do to put this experience behind you?

You can remove the energetic connection you have with Lola or, for that matter, with anyone who has stuck a proverbial knife in your back. Maybe it was placed there by a jealous co-worker, relative or ex; energetically, they all work the same. Indigenous peoples knew that energy was real, even though it couldn't be seen. They knew how to remove virtual knives. One of their techniques that works well and I can pass it on to you.

Here are five simple steps to remove a virtual knife from your back:

1. Sit with your eyes closed.

2. Picture your Lola in front of you. Visualize her in as much detail as possible, including her surroundings.

3. Breathe in as you turn your head from the center to the left; breathe out as you turn your head over to the right. Breathe in, head to left, breathe out, head to right. Keep picturing your Lola as she comes more sharply into focus.

4. As you continue the breathing pattern, recall the events that happened until there is nothing left to process emotionally. This may take 10 or 15 minutes, and you may want to repeat it several days in a row, until you feel very little emotion during the process.

5. Disconnect each time you do the exercise by doing three sweeping motions with the head -- right, left, right -- but with no breath. Let your head come to rest in the center.

The shamans of ancient Mexico teach that the breath in this exercise retrieves your energy from the scene and disconnects you from the negativity sent your way. By breathing in from right to left while remembering a feeling, your breath picks up your spent energy, and it's the expenditure of your own energy that is so aging. The exhalation from left to right gets rid of any unwanted energy left in your own energy field. I teach shamanic techniques like this one in my new book, "Be Your Own Shaman."

Chances are, you'll feel more vital and alive after the exercise. And you know you're much, much wiser now about whom you'll choose to befriend next time.

SHANI DEV-THE KIND GOD OF KARMA AND JUSTICE. NO NEED TO FEAR HIM!

According to the Purans, when “SHANI DEV “(SATURN) was in the womb of his mother that time she use to meditate deeply for a long time-SADHNA. Though “SHANI DEV “(SATURN) got this dark complexion and Meditation or Sadhna became a part of their nature and they became a devotee of “LORD KRISHNA” & “LORD SHIVA”. “SHANI DEV“(SATURN) were so deserving that “LORD SHIVA” was internally forced to accept “SHANI DEV“(SATURN) their Shishya or we can student. Then there was no reason for that “SHANI DEV “(SATURN) was made to diversify. The result of this hard meditational Sadhna gave direct effect on their body as they became Dugdhdehi that means a person having fire effect on the body due to meditation. This became a reason because of what it became a ritual to offer oil bath or we can say Telabhishek to “SHANI DEV “(SATURN).

WHY TO VISIT TEMPLES ???

Scientific Reason :

There are thousands of temples all over India in different size, shape and locations but not all of them are considered to be built the Vedic way. Generally, a temple should be located at a place where earth's magnetic wave path passes through densely. It can be in the outskirts of a town/village or city, or in middle of the dwelling place, or on a hilltop. The essence of visiting a temple is discussed here.

Now, these temples are located strategically at a place where the positive energy is abundantly available from the magnetic and electric wave distributions of north/south pole thrust. The main idol is placed in the core center of the temple, known as "*Garbhagriha*" or *Moolasthanam*. In fact, the temple structure is built after the idol has been placed. This *Moolasthanam* is where earth’s magnetic waves are found to be maximum. We know that there are some copper plates, inscribed with Vedic scripts, buried beneath the Main Idol. What are they really? No, they are not God’s / priests’ flash cards when they forget the *shlokas*. The copper plate absorbs earth’s magnetic waves and radiates it to the surroundings. Thus a person regularly visiting a temple and walking clockwise around the Main Idol receives the beamed magnetic waves and his body absorbs it. This is a very slow process and a regular visit will let him absorb more of this positive energy. Scientifically, it is the positive energy that we all require to have a healthy life.


Further, the Sanctum is closed on three sides. This increases the effect of all energies. The lamp that is lit radiates heat energy and also provides light inside the sanctum to the priests or *poojaris* performing the pooja. The ringing of the bells and the chanting of prayers takes a worshipper into trance, thus not letting his mind waver. When done in groups, this helps people forget personal problems for a while and relieve their stress. The fragrance from the flowers, the burning of camphor give out the chemical energy further aiding in a different good aura. The effect of all these energies is supplemented by the positive energy from the idol, the copper plates and utensils in the *Moolasthan*am / *Garbagraham*. *Theertham*, the “holy” water used during the pooja to wash the idol is not
plain water cleaning the dust off an idol. It is a concoction of Cardamom,*Karpura* (Benzoin), zaffron / saffron, *Tulsi* (Holy Basil), Clove, etc...Washing the idol is to charge the water with the magnetic radiations thus increasing its medicinal values. Three spoons of this holy water is distributed to devotees. Again, this water is mainly a source of magneto-therapy. Besides, the clove essence protects one from tooth decay, the saffron & *Tulsi* leafs protects one from common cold and cough, cardamom and *Pachha Karpuram* (benzoin), act as mouth fresheners. It is proved that *Theertham* is a very good blood purifier, as it is highly energized. Hence it is given as *prasadam* to the devotees. This way, one can claim to remain healthy by regularly visiting the Temples. This is why our elders used to suggest us to offer prayers at the temple so that you will be cured of many ailments. They were not always superstitious. Yes, in a few cases they did go overboard when due to ignorance they hoped many serious diseases could be cured at temples by deities. When people go to a temple for the *Deepaaraadhana*, and when the doors open up, the positive energy gushes out onto the persons who are there. The water that is sprinkled onto the assemblages passes on the energy to all. This also explains why men are not allowed to wear shirts at a few temples and women are requested to wear more ornaments during temple visits. It is through these jewels (metal) that positive energy is absorbed by the women. Also, it is a practice to leave newly purchased jewels at an idol’s feet and then wear them with the idol’s blessings. This act is now justified after reading this article. This act of “seeking divine blessings” before using any new article, like books or pens or automobiles may have stemmed from this through mere observation.

Energy lost in a day’s work is regained through a temple visit and one is refreshed slightly. The positive energy that is spread out in the entire temple and especially around where the main idol is placed, are simply absorbed by one's body and mind. Did you know, every Vaishnava(Vishnu devotees), “must” visit a Vishnu temple twice every day in their location. Our practices are NOT some hard and fast rules framed by 1 man and his followers or God’s words in somebody’s dreams. All the rituals, all the practices are, in reality, well researched, studied and scientifically backed thesis which form the ways of nature to lead a good healthy life.

The scientific and research part of the practices are well camouflaged as “elder’s instructions” or “granny’s teaching’s” which should be obeyed as a mark of respect so as to once again, avoid stress to the mediocre brains.

The MAGICAL SHIVLINGA....LEADING STRAIGHT TO PATAL LOK(The Nether world)


छत्तीसगढ़ राज्य की राजधानी रायपुर से 120 किमी दूर और शिवरीनारायण से 3 किमी दूरी पर खरौद नगर है। यह क्षेत्र एक समय में प्राचीन छत्तीसगढ़ के पांच ललित केन्द्रों में से एक है।
 
इस क्षेत्र को मोक्षदाई नगर माने जाने के कारण इसे छत्तीसगढ़ की काशी भी कहा जाता है। यहां रामायणकालीन अति प्राचीन लक्ष्मणेश्वर महादेव मंदिर है


 इस मंदिर में भगवान शिव का लिंग है, जिसमें एक लाख छिद्र हैं, इस कारण इसे लक्षलिंग कहा जाता है, इसमें से एक छिद्र पातालगामी हैं, जिसमें कितना भी पानी डाला जाए, उतना ही समाहित हो जाता है, छिद्र के बारे में कहा जाता है कि इसका रास्ता पाताल की ओर जाता है।

 
इसके निर्माण की कथा यह है कि रावण का वध करने के बाद श्रीराम को ब्रह्म हत्या का पाप लगा, क्योंकि रावण एक ब्राह्मण था। इस पाप से मुक्ति पाने के लिए श्रीराम और लक्ष्मण रामेश्वर लिंग की स्थापना करते हैं। शिव के अभिषेक के लिए लक्ष्मण सभी प्रमुख तीर्थ स्थलों से जल एकत्रित करते हैं।
 
इस दौरान वे गुप्त तीर्थ शिवरीनारायण से जल लेकर अयोध्या के लिए निकलते समय रोगग्रस्त हो गए। रोग से छुटकारा पाने के लिए लक्ष्मण शिव की आराधना की, इससे प्रसन्न होकर शिव दर्शन देते हैं और लक्षलिंग रूप में विराजमान होकर लक्ष्मण को पूजा करने के लिए कहते हैं। लक्ष्मण शिवलिंग की पूजा करने के बाद रोग मुक्त हो जाते हैं और ब्रह्म हत्या के पाप से भी मुक्ति पाते हैं, इस कारण यह शिवलिंग लक्ष्मणेश्वर के नाम से प्रसिद्ध हुआ।

If God is within, why go to Temple?

Some people have asked me that if Brahman/Supreme God resides within our heart why do we need to go to the Temple? Why is home worship not enough?

My reply is that the soul is a reservoir of Magnetic Energy vibrations. They receive maximum purification and most sattvik Recharging in the temple since the vastu there is the most pure. God is really present there without any interference by negativeenergies. So go to temple occasionally (if regular not possible, though its desirable), purify your electro magnetic aura and then return home and keep the micro level charging going on by mantra recitation and lighting incense in home temple at a daily level.

This regular cleansing process is a sure shot way to let no grime settle in! The daily cleansing and moisturising formula for ur Inner Self.

How To Enjoy Each Day?

1. Appreciate Beauty. Each day we come across beauty in a number of shapes and forms. It’s a shame, then, that many people have become so accustomed to this beauty that it largely goes unappreciated. I suggest looking again at the people, plants, gadgets, and buildings (to name but a few examples) around you and taking a moment to appreciate what makes them so special.

2. Connect With Nature. Nature is an amazing healer for the stresses and strains of modern life. Eating lunch in the park, attending to a vegetable garden in your backyard, or watching the sunset are just a few simple ideas for how you can enjoy the outdoors on a daily basis.

3. Laugh. E. E. Cummings once said “the most wasted of all days is one without laughter.” How very true. Never be too busy to laugh, or too serious to smile. Instead, surround yourself with fun people and don’t get caught up in your own sense of importance.

4. Have Simple Pleasures. A good cup of coffee when I first wake. Time spent playing with my 8 month old son. Cooking a nice meal in the evening. These may not seem terribly exciting, but they are some of the simple pleasures I enjoy in life. If you slow down for just a moment and take the time to appreciate these ordinary events, life becomes instantly more enjoyable.

5. Connect With People. In so many ways, it is our relationships with people that give us the most happiness in life. Perhaps, then, the best way to enjoy your work more is not to get a raise or a promotion, but rather to build rewarding relationships with your co-workers.

6. Learn. There is a strong link between learning and happiness. Given this, there is no excuse not to be stimulating your brain and learning something new each day. My favorite way to find time for learning is to make the most of the commute to and from work. Audiobooks and podcasts are great for this purpose.

7. Rethink Your Mornings and Evenings. Are the mornings a mad rush for you to get out the door? Do you switch off the TV at night and go straight to bed? I have personally experienced the profound benefits of establishing a routine in the morning and evening. For example, in the morning you may choose to wake an hour earlier and spend the time working on yourself, whether it be reading, writing or exercising. In the evening, consider spending some time just before bed reviewing your day or in meditation.

8. Celebrate Your Successes. During a normal day we are sure to have some minor successes. Perhaps you have successfully dealt with a difficult customer, made a sale, or received a nice compliment for your work. These aren’t events worth throwing a party for, but why not take a moment to celebrate your success? Share the experience with someone else, reward yourself with a nice lunch, or just give yourself a mental pat on the back.

Predicting if your Partner Can Cheat on You!

Adultery is sadly no longer a taboo term or even a rare one. One sees and hears about cheating spouses/partners very frequently. Interestingly tales of cheating are no longer the monopoly of males. Females with their increasing professional and social exposure are becoming more demanding and more open about having an affair, if discontented with their present situation.


Can we in Astrology predict if the partner has amorous tendancies and is likely to cheat on you?
YES, We can.


There are certain planetary alignments and certain factors that need to be analysed to make such a prediction. At the time of Horoscope Matching this analysis is very important to see how committed and loyal the person will be towards his marriage vows and his/her spouse.


*Rahu is the primary planet causing dissatisfaction in a person's mind and heart and makes you crave for more in every aspect-money, sex, love, everything. 
If its posited in lagna (aspecting the 7th house) or in the 7th house itself(7th hs is for marriage and relationships), it causes multiple relationships.


*Moon rules the Mind and when thats in conjunction or relaiton with Venus, the planet for passion and love, induces people to look outside mariage for satisfaction.


*Jupiter, if weak in dignity or afflicted makes one disregard social conventions and moral limits and may make one cheat.


*The inter relationship of Mars(daring) and Venus(passion) if strong is also instrumental.


* The closer Rahu is to Moon/Venus, the greater the degree of chances of intimacy with another one.


*How strong is the Saptmesh? Is it strong enough to withstand the attraction, if indicated in the chart?


* Guru Chandal Yog esp in 7th house


On the positive side, if Venus/Moon comes together with Ketu, it creates a very loyal partner. He will have enough spiritual awareness to resist all temptation.


* Moon/Venus in relation with Saturn also creates immorality. Clashes in your relationship might push you into another's arms.


It would be judicious and sensible to actually look for such factors in the horoscope before finalising marriage. Also if one is aware that such alignments exist in his/her horoscope he might take steps by making mind and spirit strong enough to resist such temptations and make their marriage sweet and loyal.
