Most of us are always puzzled at the uncertainty that life exhibits! In such scenario we are perturbed at the thought of losing the things dear to us. We have a desire to acquire things that are not with us. Sometimes we succeed in acquiring the desired, and sometimes we fail to protect the loss of precious possession. Sometimes there is fear of loss, we feel threatened at the prospect of loss of money, fame and life. This brings in grief, the thoughts itself are disheartening and person is agitated. Those who are undergoing strenuous conditions in life, hope for better days to come. They live on hope. Everyone consults an astrologer for betterment!
What can an astrologer do?
Astrologer can only predict. Predict what is destined in the horoscope. He is not the master of the destiny that horoscope reflects. What is the purpose of consultation? Sometimes it brings solace to the aggrieved. Sometimes an astrologer says, he is forewarning! Forewarning why? Is the astrologer a custodian of chronology of the world? Or can he regulate the chronology? The answer to both of these is no! Then what is the purpose of prediction?
When we read the above notes, we can see only indefiniteness, ambiguity in everything that is around us. For a successful life these very uncertainties should vanish. When you have a clear understanding of what you have to do and what you should not, when you have descended on earth, we say life is successful!
How to remove uncertainty? An astrologer helps in giving you a clear purpose of your life, and life events that a person is going to face. As per the nature of the individual, these events bear different impact on the person. Some improve upon their knowledge and understanding, some wither away in the pursuit of pleasure.
When faced with bad times, understanding of the cause of bad events gives rise to repentance towards the evil we have done. If this feeling arises in an individual, then remedies suggested by the Astrologers to nullify the evil works wonders and life progresses. But if individual feels remedies are a way out, for a past karma and can just get away from it by dana, homa, yagnya etc. Then thousands of such remedies, will never ever solve any problems. Sometimes remedies are prescribed to certain individuals whose events are unavoidable, remedies are performed and yet events takes place! Was remedy ineffective? If it was totally unavoidable event, then why did remedies were prescribed.
Remedies never go unanswered!!!!! Remedies work for different people in different people in different ways. For stronger characters, it gives strength to face the events. It gives a calmness of mind to digest events in all eventuality good or bad.
For advanced souls it helps in detachment of karma with its karma phala. For very determined soul it achieves the objective of the purpose of remedy irrespective of the outcome of Karma as destined. i.e.. Though Karma shows up in an un-avoiding manner, the end result does not affect the individual. Example: When Shachi devi, Parvati, Shaymala devi, Usha devi, were cursed by Bramha for being born as humans and married away to other than their husbands i.e. Indra , Rudra, Yama And Aswini devatas. They performed remedies of 1000 years of tapasya to appease Bharati Devi [wife of Vayu]. To protect them from losing their PATIVRATYA. [Being married to other than their husbands on earth would still tantamount to loss of pativratya]. But all these are blessed by Bharathi devi to protect their pativratya and yet the Bramha’s shapa [curse ] also was carried out. Thus was born Draupadi, Draupadi is the most PATIVRATA stree ever born and had yet had five husbands.
Had there been no remedy on part of these women then, they would be born as women on earth, but owing to their devata nature they would be extremely beautiful. In general these women are so chaste that they would marry only if their husbands would also be born on the earth else none else. But as Bramha had cursed them to lose their association with husband, the chances are Rakshasas can also take them away, this would mean loss of pativratya. To avoid this they did tapasya together in a single body of INDRASENA. Thus their remedies were answered, and Draupadi born out of Fire directly as a adult, was married to all the five Pandavas.
Krishna says "Ahalya, Draupadi, Tara, Tara, Mandodari Panchkanya smare nityam, panchpataka vinashayti" Note the word PanchKANYA, these are all the women who have some kind of blemish associated with them, yet their names when taken removes even those sins which God never forgives. That means these are special women and very auspicious. And the word Kanya is very interesting Lord uses the word kanya even though these are marries woman. This points to a new concept of Nitya Kanyatva.
Thus remedies work for those events also which are unavoidable. And all avoidable events definitely vanish with remedies. Like that in case of Chandrahasa, in case of Markandeya Dhruva etc.
So one must always undertake remedies with sincerity and devotion to obtain solace from graha and graha chara.
