Mantras and Remedies

By Sri Chiraan 2008/12/31

Most people feel mantras are magical cantation that will yield all the wishes. Is it really so. What are mantras? how they act? who gives results on behalf of mantra? what discretion exists in getting results? 

Mantra is a secret arrangement of syllables, governed by mantra purusha, adhidevata, chandas and rishi. Nyasa sets the adhidevata into the body to create the kavach for the body. [This entails the asana purification, driving away negative forces external, pranayama to cleanse and strengthen mind, digbandhana to restrict disturbing forces]. This is called being mantrapoot.

The disturbing forces, negative forces, impurity of seat and mind, these exist everywhere naturally by the order of Shiva. That means, disturbance, negativity, impurity are bound to occur if one does not take care of it. Adhidevta cannot be set by mere physical exercise of nyasa. It can be set only with purity [gradually acquired by practice]. Adhidevata sets pretext to Mantramoorty to occupy the heart of the sadhak. This mantramoorthy is described by the dhyana and is under the control of rishi of the mantra . Rishi’s blessings occur with chandas moorthy only when Mantra upadeshta [guru] is fully impressed with the disciple.

When the above conditions are fully followed, then mantra activates for a sadhak. Even at this stage it is not potent to give results. Potency comes only when one recites mantra a Z = [number of aksharas X 1 lakh] times the mantra. This has to be followed by Z/10 tarpana [to both rishi as well as devata] and then followed by homa of Z/100 ahutis followed by Z /1000 Bramhana bhojana and dana.

All this has to be performed in one go, without anger, greed and desire for the undesirable and yogic food and happiness and content in mind. Any lapse would nullify the effect. Thus at the end Mantrapurush accompanys the Sadhak. It is this Mantra purusha who fulfils the wishes and not the mantra. Mantra Purusha immediately leaves in case of lapse of regulatory life style by sadhak or on account of sins. Somya mantras have cool Purusha, Ugra Mantras have agitated Purusha. These harm [punish] the Sadhak if a lapse occurs.

In today’s times, the points are impossible to follow for a normal person, thus mantras always brings ill luck and troubled times. Those who do not indulge in these lead normal life. The former invites trouble, the latter is free.

Mantra can be given by those who have completed Z times of chanting in single go. Others are not eligible to give mantras. Mantra purusha definitely punishes those who transgress the rules. Mantra is a double edged sword that can end in HARAKIRI.

At the same time anything in this three worlds can be obtained by Mantras.

Ashtakvarga

By Sri Chiraan 2008/11/06

As the predictions are given from the rising sign in the east , similarly predictions should be given from each planet also. This form of predictive technique is known as Ashtakvarga. When all the benefic aspects of eight planets on a sign in a horoscope are aggregated , we get samudaya ashtakavarga on that sign. Sun during its motion when traverses that sign ,that month will give good or bad effects on the horoscope. 

Sometimes we see that we are suffering on a particular month in a year and every year that month gets tough for certain aspects like, finance, family, or profession etc. If somebody observes this phenomena he should immediately undertake remedy  for that samudaya ashtakvarga sign for relief in the coming years.

Similarly certain times we appear to get downfalls at a particular cycles in our life, say, three year cycle, or twelve years or thirty years etc. If one identifies such problems, [if you feel you are facing same kind of problems that you were facing twelve years ago, or few years back] then consult your astrologer for samudaya ashtakavarga and suitable remedy as prescribed in shastras will get rid of such recurrences.

Also such phenomena can be observed with our family members, here too traversal of certain planets through certain asterisms always troubles our relatives, here proper remedial measures removes such evils. Most of the life threatening events (these are avoidable) can be foreseen and avoided.

Interestingly the number of benefic score that a planet gains indicate the level of success in a horoscope. In a matter of comparison between two successful people, who scores better is determined by the ashtakvarga. Its ashtakvarga that determines whether you are a numero-uno or an also ran in your field whether it be profession, films, cricket or politics.
