Yantra

Yantra should be frequently energized with the appropriate Mantras. They must be cleaned and

empowered periodically like gemstones by the user. Yantras are less expensive than gemstones. They

can be more effective than gems if meditated upon with mantras. They possess no side/harmful effects.

YANTRAS Each planet in astrology possesses a special energy pattern. A Yantra is the visible

form of an energy body, represented by a Mantra. Two general types of Yantras exist:

a. Numerical Yantra’ s - where in special significant numbers are inscribed.

b. Geometrical Yantra’ s - based on specific geometrical designs.

Yantra should be frequently energized with the appropriate Mantras. They must be cleaned and

empowered periodically like gemstones by the user. Yantra,s are less expensive than gemstones.

They can be more effective than gems if meditated upon with mantras. They possess no

side/harmful effects.

While there is a wide range of Yantra’ s - each with a specific purpose, we at viswanadhajyothirnilyam.com

have focused on the four basic purposes of life and have selected those Yantra’ s that address the

fulfillment of desires in these four directions. According to Vedic teachings, the four basic

purposes or goals of life are:

Pursuit of Dharma (Vocation), Pursuit of Artha (Wealth), Pursuit of Kama (Sensual Pleasures),

Pursuit of Moksha (Salvation)

Planetary Yantra

The Planetary Yantra has two sides. On one side is the impression of the Surya Yantra and the

reverse is the Numerical Yantra with its own planet Mantra for the planet that is prescribed for

you.

Planetary Yantras have been used by astrologers as remedial measures to help balance, give

strength and calm the energies of planets. The Planetary Yantra has two sides-on one side is the

impression of the Surya Yantra and the reverse is the Numerical Yantra with its own planet

Mantra for the planet that is prescribed for you.

From times immemorial, Vedic Astrology has had the power to make us aware of the planetary

influences on our lives as well as the remedial power to help us balance the planetary influences

and of improving them. It is said that the 'Devas' (Gods) or Deities (Goddess) reside in the

Yantras and by performing 'Pooja' or worship of Yantras, one can appease the Deities, remove

the malefic effects of planets, and increase the flow of positive influences.

Numeric Surya Yantra

Sun is the prime ray that nourishes all other planet rays. It is symbolized as the light of life, nourishment,

evolution and revelation. It is that element of creation without which every other aspect of creation is

non-existent. In all the philosophic and religious existence in different cultures of the world, sun holds

the highest position.

In effect each of us have to pass the test of evil, elevate ourselves to the platform of sound judgment

and only then can the true light be visible for us. So, when Saturn is causing sorrow it is actually letting

us know about our own actions. It cannot cause sorrow prom the prime journey as God created all of us

in his form and gave a minute portion of his power to all of us. The reservoir was the same so Saturn had

no role to play then. It is only at later stage during our karmic journey that we gathered negative points

and each one of them have to be balanced through the suffering inflicted by Saturn. So it is said that one

can only reach the light of the Sun after having crossed the darkness of Saturn.

The numeric Yantra is an all purpose Yantra created out of three prime metals. Gold, Silver and Copper.

Copper is the core, then there is a Silver border and finally encased in gold. The numeric pattern is

engraved on the copper on one side and the “beeja” (seed) mantra or the prime syllable that connects

to the power of the Sun is inscribed on the other side or the back of the pattern on silver. This Yantra is

meant to be worn as a pendant and it must lie between the breasts.

The prime power of all planets lie with the Sun. Sun signifies light and good while Saturn signifies

darkness and all that is considered as bad. The subtlety of this theory goes to the root cause of all that is

considered bad that evil was created by God in order to save the good. Evil is also a creation of God. A

blind man has no idea of light as he/she has never experienced it.

Unless one experiences the bad, there is no distinction between the two. .It is most recommended for

those with weak, afflicted or debilitated Sun. It is also highly beneficial for those who are not enjoying a

good level of success in life. It recommended for all.

Jupiter Yantra

Just as each planet has a mantra, a special sound energy; there is special energy pattern for each planet,

a Yantra. The Yantra is a special geometric design, which is the visible form, the energy body, of the

mantra, and the planet to which it corresponds. Yantras sometimes supplement the power of mantras

and can become as strong as the mantras themselves. If a mantra is the invisible driving force, the

Yantra is the visible means to gain power and wealth, ward off evil and illnesses, nullify the ill effects of

material existence, bring you to the path of virtue and fortune, enhance your capabilities - and bless you

with almost any material comfort or spiritual benefit you desire.

Place Jupiter Yantra on the altar, recite the mantra 108 times while gazing at the image on Thursdays. It

can also be used during Jupiter dashas. Jupiter Yantra can be placed on a Northeast wall and we feel the

difference in our life. It brings joy, helps in concentrating and also helps in fertility. It is good for people

suffering from diabetes, liver and gallbladder problems, hip disorders and skin diseases.

The Jupiter Yantra has Jupiter’s numeric pattern engraved on it. This numeric sequence relates

specifically to the magic square of the number five. The numbers add up to 27 for each column, and 81

for the total. The reverse side of the Jupiter Yantra has the planetary symbol of Jupiter engraved on it.

The Yantra ships with a Silver Chain in a Velvet Pouch. All instructions for energizing the Yantra, along

with the Mantra will be delivered electronically.

Moon Yantra

It is easy to discard Chandra or Moon as an insignificant planet in respect to strong malefic

planet like Saturn or great benefic such as Jupiter. But this very potent yet subtle energy of Moon

creates the perfect mind of a mortal without which the purpose of being a human being is lost.

Moon is affected easily when in contact with Saturn, Rahu or Ketu. The mind of the person

becomes clouded with a sense of doom unless Moon is in its own house or sign of exaltation.

Even when it is in comfortable locations, some of its moon shine is lost. Moon is our capacity to

be happy, as a ruler of the mind it is our gateway to the finer feelings in life.

This Moon Yantra is essentially beneficial for people with debilitated or afflicted Moon by

either, co-habitation or aspect of Saturn, Rahu or Ketu. Moon suffers the most and so does the

person whose chart has this misfortune.

This Yantra stays more energized in combination with Regular Practice of Chandi Path (The

glory of Durga is known from the ancient treatise of Markandeyo Purana. It is known as Devi

Mahatmyam or Durga Saptasati and was written in 700 slokas. Devi Durga was generated and

empowered by the unification process of all the power of the gods and destroyed the demons who had

dislodged them from their divine abode.

Devi Chandi is also the image of the eternal mother who in her different forms killed various demons like

Mahishasur, Shumbh & Nishumbh, Raktabeej, Chando, Mundo, Dhumrolochana and their army and

saved the Devas from destruction. Chandi is Durga at her most terrifying image, there is nothing that can

be victorious against it. It is said that these slokas are powerful Mantras against all evils.

We ourselves generate negative energy and suffer from tension and fatigue. This fatigue due to the

struggle for existence has chain reaction at our domestic front where family starts to squirm under the

pressure of negative vibes. Ultimately, peace and harmony are lost when our professional front

becomes shaky and shows signs of decline.

The world is a huge reservoir where there are millions of souls who generate this negative energy

unconsciously. The random activities create chaos in and around us. While there is effort to eliminate

the same but the veil of maya (Illusory world) causes delusion and we fall prey to wrong decisions.

There can be real living enemies or there can be negative factors in our minds that can become our

enemies detrimental for our development or there can be negative powers that work against us due to

our interaction with other mortals. Instances of enmity, rivalry and unavoidable obstacles are regular

phenomena of human existence. While we try our level best to overcome them but a lot of energy and

time goes into this effort. It would not be wrong or false to conclude that we waste a tremendous

amount of life force in fighting these shadows. The end result is never perfect and we go from one

obstacle to the other.

Devi Mahatmaya or Durga Saptasati or the Chandi is divided into 13 Chapters and consists of 700 slokas

or mantras. Recitation of these slokas is known as Chandi Paath and has been recited and known to

combat every kind of enmity and adversity, from ages forgotten. It has been used as the most powerful

weapon by the Devas (gods) and mortals alike.). The power loss of this luminary is made up and it

starts generating its potential effects in the life of the person and brings in happiness and

optimism.

This Yantra is crafted as a 1 inch diameter silver locket with a 3 carat natural white pearl in a

perfect astrological setting. The front face of the locket has the planetary symbol of Moon while

the reverse is engraved with the numeric energy pattern of the Moon. This numeric sequence

relates specifically to the magic square of the number two. The numbers add up to 18 for each

column, and 54 for the total.

The Yantra ships after a traditional energizing ceremony with a Silver Chain in a Velvet Pouch.

Chandi Path

The power of evil is so great that even gods are unable to combat it single handed. It is only

through the united effort of divinity in totality that it can be defeated. The name Chandi is one of

the many names of goddess Durga.

The glory of Durga is known from the ancient treatise of Markandeyo Purana. It is known as Devi

Mahatmyam or Durga Saptasati and was written in 700 slokas. Devi Durga was generated and

Shri Yantra

Installing a Shree Yantra in one's home or at the place of work will protect from all Vastu deficiencies. It

is most powerful device to balance Yin and Yang energies around us(as attempted in Fengshui

protections). It purifies the environment and it helps crating wealth and prosperity not only for the

individual but also in the entire environment surrounding the individual. This is not just a myth – it's a

tried and tested process.

Shree is the personification of Goddess Lakshmi herself. The symbol of the Goddess of bounty & plenty.

Since ancient times, it has been a common practice to install a Shree Yantra at the gate of all Hindu

temples. This Yantra is said to possess the powers to remove all negative vibrations and energies from

the environment. Meditating on the Shree Yantra harmonizes and optimizes all legitimate goals in our

life.

It is the most powerful geometrical Yantra for peace & prosperity. Its design is based on

intersection of nine triangles. Four of these triangles point upward and five downward. The four

upward pointing triangles are the Shiva triangle (Male or Yang forces) and five downward

pointing triangles are Shakti or Durga triangles (female or Yin forces). A combination of these

nine triangles makes Shree Yantra the most dynamic of all Yantras.

For best results, we will recommend two Shree Yantras, one for home and one for work place.

Five minutes meditation on Shree Yantra with the recommended mantra everyday will do

wonders to increase all round wealth and prosperity.

Shri Yantra Pendant

God and His energy are inseparable; the concept of the power and the powerful comes to the forefront

once again, and it is so apt while describing the significance of the Shree Yantra. The geometrical pattern

of this Yantra is explanation in itself. Its design is based on intersection of nine triangles. Four of these

triangles point upward and five downward. The four upward pointing triangles are the Shiva triangle

(Male or Yang forces) and five downward pointing triangles are Shakti or Durga triangles (female or Yin

forces). A combination of these nine triangles makes Shree Yantra the most dynamic of all Yantras, and

the complete symbol of the power and the powerful.

The ancient scriptures of Brihadaranyaka Upanishad says

“He was alone,

he did not enjoy,

one alone does not enjoy,

He desired a second,

and became like a man and woman in close embrace.”

This is the concept of the Shree Yantra, a uniting and harmonizing device where the male and female

energy is taken into the higher level of desire and union.

It is a device that protects man – woman relationship among many other things and dates back to the

concept of human’s becoming a social animal rather than just living creature.

Vaastu Therapy

"Vaastu" translates to building. It may mean habitat. The building stands upon the earth and as such this

makes it a permanent fixture perpetually subject to the rays of the sun upon it in a certain manner. The

study of Vaastu is a systematic science that deals with the geological impact of this planet upon earth.

VAASTU THERAPY "Vaastu" translates to building. It may mean habitat. The building stands upon the

earth and as such this makes it a permanent fixture perpetually subject to the rays of the sun upon it in

a certain manner. The study of Vaastu is a systematic science that deals with the geological impact of

this planet upon earth.

This is an ancient science that pertained to construction of houses. In Bhavisyottara Purana, an

interesting epic portraying future, stressed upon the fact that every living mortal should have a house

and that it should be perfect or ideal for residence. It also states that the inhabitants of the house can

improve or perpetuate harmony and prosperity by certain rituals and ceremonies. Sages in the ancient

referred to Vaastu as a means of human welfare. It has been practiced since ancient times and according

to historians this genre of science developed during the period of 6000- 3000BC.

When we consider a building, the positive and negative vibes felt within it has direct connection with

the geological impact on it. The residents feel the vibes which permeate into their life and life style.

It has been found that houses constructed with as per Vaastu specifications become an abode of joy and

harmony. It is the residents’ state of minds and their progress in life that speaks of their Vaastu perfect

habitat.

The rays of the Sun are our life force and it is in constant supply through Sun and Moon. All other

planets shine in Sun’s rays. Though Sun is a malefic but it is our basic source of life. It is fiery in nature

and its radiating heat can burn and destroy, on the other hand it can make flowers bloom. There is a

need to understand the subtlety of moderation that ultimately produces the best result. Houses built

casually may be Vaastu perfect by chance but mostly it is found that it is moderate. The result of this on

the residents is that they lead a mediocre life. While it is mostly possible to make Vaastu correction to

an already existing building, it is also possible to reduce negative energy generated by a vaastu

imperfect habitat.

Articles of Faith & Devotion

Articles of faith and Devotion are simple items that elevate the human mind above the level of

commotion of the world. There is great peace in calling and calling itself builds confidence to pursue the

path of devotion to a larger degree.

As per the scriptures of Ramayana, the significance behind the Rama incarnation was pre ordained.

Vishnu was cursed by a certain powerful Sage that he would have to spend a longtime as a mortal on

this earth and be separated from his wife. Hence Rama’s life is depicted in this manner in the epic

Ramayana. In this context Hanumaan was the protector who made Rama and Sita’s reunion possible. It

is said that Rama was a Manglik and it was Hanumaan’s intervention that made their reunion possible.

It is another matter that Rama needed no help, as He was a full Avatar or incarnation of Vishnu, but

even Gods are subject to devotee’s anger, despair and sorrow.

The myth that depicts the death of the wife of a sage at the hands of Vishnu also portrays penitent

Vishnu waiting for the particular sage and face whatever his anger or sorrow declared as his own fate.

Rama used the image of a monkey simply to determine the power of devotion. Here and again it was

Hanumaan who saved Lakshmana, Rama’s brother from death in the hands of Indrajeet, son of the

Demon king Ravana.

Hanumaan-ji is the ruling deity of Mars and all of us need to harmonize our Martian energy in order to

get the maximum benefit out of its forceful energy. Not only Hanumanji; you can also worship different

deities as per your faith and devotion.

Gem Therapy

GEMS THERAPY The basic principal of gem therapy is simple. If a planet is weak and is also beneficial and

auspicious in the chart, then such a planet should be strengthened by gems of that planet.

Each astrological planet is associated with a particular gem(s). The Bhashma of Gems (powder extract) is

extensively used in Ayurveda for its medicinal properties. For astrological purposes, the gem is

embedded in the ring or pendant in such a manner that the bottom is open, allowing the gemstone to

touch the body (Diamond being an exception). Varahmihir, the author of ancient astrological text, Brihat

Samhita, suggests that a gem having a good luster, pure and clear-color and without flaws ensures good

luck and protection.

There are two theories on the use of gemstone for astrological purpose. The first is based on the

principle of enhancing a particular ray or color effect where the gemstone acts like an amplifier. The

origin of this idea can be traced back to the Rig-Veda, where humans are advised to use the seven gems

to gather the rays of the Sun onto our body. The second theory envisages that the gemstone acts like

cosmic filter, preventing harmful rays from affecting our bodies. Diseases are caused in the body due to

deficiencies and the use of certain gemstone supplement the deficiencies, which results in improvement

of health, mood and life force.

Selection of a particular gemstone for vedic astrological remedy is a complex process and only a

competent astrologer is capable of making the right choice. Inappropriate use of gemstone is known to

have caused harmful side effects. Gem should be of good qualities and without flaws.

Information on Gem Stone Therapy This section provides some very basic and fundamental facts on

Gem Stone Therapy , as used in Vedic Astrology.

Gem Stone Therapy

The science of use of astrology gems and stones for medicinal and astrological purposes is known as

Gem Stone Therapy . According to Varahamihir, the author of the classical text Brihat Samhita, a gem

having a good luster, pure and clean color and no flaws ensures good luck and protection. He however

warns that Gem stones with flaws can bring disaster.

here are two popular theories on the use of gemstones for astrological purposes, as a therapeutic

measure. The first, sanctioned by the Rig-Veda advises the use of seven gems to capture the visible

spectrum in the rays of the sun. The second theory, though of unknown origin, is today more popular. It

states that gems are cosmic filters that disallow particular vibrations from causing harm. We prefer to

follow the traditional Vedic prescriptions for astrological Gem Therapy.

Astrological Gem Stone Therapy is prescribed on two bases – one long-term and the other short-term.

The gemstones used for the long-term (entire life) are known as Fortune Stones while those that are use

for the shorter-term or temporary periods for providing relief during period of distress are known as

Problem Area.

According to Vedic Astrology, gemstones can be classified into three types:

01. Panch Ratna (Five gems)

Panch Ratna or Five Jewels Vedic Astrology considers five elemental forms of existence. Each of

these five elements have a gemstone associated with it.

These are:

Fire (Agni) Ruby Manik Brown Tourmaline

Water (Jala) Pearl Moti

Earth (Prithvi) Emerald Panna Berly

Air (Vayu) Diamond Heera White Sapphire

Ether (Aakash) Blue Sapphire Neelam Amethyst

02. Sapta Ratna (Seven gems)

Sapta Ratna or Seven Jewels

The seven planets from Sun to Saturn represent the seven colours of visible light that lead

to creation.

The Rig-Veda advises use of seven gemstones for capturing the rays of the sun:

Sun Ruby Manik Brown Tourmaline

Moon Pearl Moti

Mars Red Coral Moonga

Mercury Emerald Panna Berly

Jupiter Yellow Sapphire Pukhraj Citrine

Venus Diamond Heera White Sapphire

Saturn Blue Sapphire Neelam Amethyst

03. Nav Ratna or Nine Jewels

The nine planets, including Rahu & Ketu (the North and South nodes of Moon) each have

a representative gemstone:

The following topic is of particular interest in the matter of Astrological Gem Therapy:

Finger for Wearing Gems:

Vedic Astrology lays down very strict rules for the finger on which a Gemstone can be worn.

The index finger, known as the Tarjani, is considered very inauspicious. It is the finger for

expression of anger. Each of the four elements, Fire, Earth, Water and Wind/Air, are associated

with each of the four fingers on our hand, (the thumb is not considered) and this in turn dictates

the choice of finger for wearing a given gemstone.

The following table gives the information about the relationship between planets, gemstones and

the fingers on which the same are to be worn.

Planet GemStone Finger Metal

Sun Ruby Fore Finger (Chupudu Velu) Gold

Moon Pearl Ring or Fore finger (Ungaram

Velu, Chupudu Velu)

Mars Red Coral Ring (Ungaram Velu) Gold/Silver

Mercury Emerald Little (Chitikina Velu) Gold

Venus Diamond Middle (Right hand Madya Velu) Gold

Saturn Blue Sapphire Middle (Left Hand Madya Velu) Gold

Rahu Hessonite Middle (Left Hand Madya Velu) Silver

Ketu Cat's Eye Middle (Right Hand Madya Velu) Gold

WHAT YOU SHOULD CONSIDER?

Beware of abnormally low prices of precious stones advertised anywhere. They are likely to be

ordinary stones that have been chemically colored in a laboratory and are NOT suitable or

effective as astrological remedies.

* Remember precious stones are called so because they are precious and naturally be more

expensive than ordinary stones.

Insist on test certificates from recognized government testing laboratory and not from any

private testing establishment.

Insist on actual weight of the stone to be certified by the testing laboratory.

Do not make the common mistake of accepting the weight of the stone as the total weight of

the ring.

Insist on astrologers’ recommendation whether a particular gemstone is suitable for you as per

your natal chart. A gemstone is the naturally occurring crystalline form of a mineral, which is

desirable for its beauty, values in its rarity and durable enough to be enjoyed for generations.

Mantra

What is a Mantra?

A mantra is composed of psychically potent sound syllables that are capable of influencing the human

system both physically and spiritually. They can excite the emotions and give suggestion to the mind.

They influence both the one who chants them and the one hears them. The word mantra comes from

the Sanskrit word Mantrana, which means advice or suggestions. According to the Upanishads, the

original abode of the mantra was the "Parma Akesh" or primeval ether, the eternal and immutable

substratum of the universe.

How does a Mantra work?

A mantra is also an energy field composed of certain frequencies that have a pattern of their own and a

vibration field that creates different intonation. These frequencies and the sympathetic overtones

generated by them influence our sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous, which are spread in a fine

neural network through our internal organs in the body. The sympathetic response generates the Neromotor

response and influences two hemisphere of the human cerebral cortex.

Effect of Mantras

Mantra practice involves the left hemisphere of the brain and is therefore effective in increasing positive

emotions. The intonation and melody, which are the essential parts of Mantras, remove negative

emotions. In association with a Yantra or a picture of a deity - the mantra also provides the right

hemisphere with a concrete visual image of the object of emotional attention or "Bhakti" - devotion.

This is the way mantra affects the emotional self. Spiritual sounds may be poems, chants, prayers or

hymns all create emotional frequencies and open new dimensions in our consciousness. The practice of

Mantra is more than a suggestion or an idea. It is a means of getting in touch with our inner self. This is

the essence of "Bhakti Yoga" - which is the simplest and the most effective way by which we can

connect to the supreme and infinite consciousness.

Elements

Every mantra has six elements: -

 'Rishi' or The Seer

 'Raga' or The Melody

 'Devta' or The Presiding Deity

 'Bija' or The Seed Sound

 'Shakti' or The Power

 'Kilaka' or The Pillar

Rishi - Seers

The intensions of the Mantra worshipper or "Mantra Shadak" are his or her responsibility. One

must thus be clear about why one picks up this tool of Mantra meditation. Good or bad Karmas

are categorized according to the effect they create inside and outside the individual, who should

be prepared to acknowledge responsibility for the same.

Raga - Melody

The raga is comparable to a western melody line - a sound or sequence of single sounds, without

harmony. When chanting a Mantra, it is extremely important not to change the raga and its key,

because the rate of vibration on which the sound is based on integral part of the Mantra.

Devta - Presiding Deity

The Devta is the presiding deity of the mantra. The informing powers a very personal aspect of

God. It is the wisdom that comes from a higher source and is like a single beam of sunlight. One

beam that is singled out and given a name so that the disciple can develop a personal relationship

with and worship on aspect of God that he or she can understand and experience.

Bija - Seer Sound

Each mantra has a Bija or seed. This represents the sound string defined by the Seers as being the

repository of auditory energy sources. The form and content of the Bija have been handed down

from the ages. The Bija gives the mantra in which it is used, its special power of self-generation

and effects. Just as within a seed is hidden within tree, so too, the energy of the mantra is resident

in the seed on which it is based. This helps the mantra to manifest itself into spiritual

consciousness.

Shakti - The Power

The power, the consciousness, within the mantra is 'Shakti' - the Divine Mother, the goddess of

the spoken word. The male aspect of the God is energy in a state of equilibrium; the female

aspect is the dynamic energy, which manifests as Creation. This Energy of God is the source of

all created beings. In the mantra this energy is present in a pure form. The potency of the mantra

is realized through repetitions, until the individual chanting the same, feels the presence of God.

This is a spiritual experience, which the Mantras help to bring about.

Kilaka - The Pillar

The Kilaka is at first, the driving force, the persistence and will power that the discipline needs to

pursue the Mantra. But when the power of the Mantra begins to take on a self generating

"flywheel motion", the Kilaka becomes a very fine thread joining the discipline to the mantra, to

the power of the mantra, to the Guru and to the deity, until all are manifest as one.

Ten Karmas

In Tantra, there are ten categories of actions (Karmas) that a mantra can accomplish. These ten

categories cover all aspects of human desires, good and bad and include all the ways that mantra can be

used.

The intensions of the Mantra worshipper or "Mantra Shadak" are his or her responsibility. One must

thus be clear about why one picks up this tool of Mantra meditation. Good or bad Karmas are

categorized according to the effect they create inside and outside the individual, who should be

prepared to acknowledge responsibility for the same.

1. Santi (Peaceful) Karma: Mantras that free one from disease, psychological problems, fears, illusions

status, power etc. Also known as Paustik.

Mantra Recitation

The attitude of an aspirant plays an important role on Mantra recitation & worship. Mantra is

energy. It can be used for either good or bad purposes. One can compare this with Fire - which is

pure energy; it can cook our food to sustain us and nourishes us. It can also burn us and kill us.

If a Sadhak (devotee) is proactive in mantra recitation for personal spiritual growth, it helps

him/her to evolve, but if the mantra is practiced to help others, it serves a double purpose. It

helps both the persons for whom mantra is recited and it also helps the person, who is reciting

the mantra. On the other hand, if the mantra is used to harm somebody, the person who recites it

will also not escape the harmful effects of the mantra. So it is important for an inspiring mantra

worshipper to understand the prerequisites and requisites of mantra worship.

Yoga and its different poses(asana)

Yoga books tell us that Yoga, as we all know, is aimed to unite the mind, the body, and the spirit. Yogis

view that the mind and the body are one and that if it is given the right yoga kit and tools and taken to

the right environment, it can find harmony and heal it. Yoga therefore is considered therapeutic. It helps

you become more aware of your body's posture, alignment and patterns of movement. It makes the

body more flexible and helps you relax even in the midst of a stress stricken environment. This is one of

the foremost reasons why people want to start Practicing Yoga - to feel fitter, be more energetic, and be

happier and peaceful.

Yoga is a science that has been practiced for thousands of years. It is consists of Ancient Theories,

observations and principles about the mind and body connection which is now being proven by modern

medicine. Substantial research has been conducted to look at the Health Benefits of Yoga - from the

Yoga Postures (Asanas), Yoga Breathing (Pranayama), and Meditation. The information on Yoga Poses &

Benefits is grouped into three categories-physiological, psychological, biochemical effects. Furthermore,

scientists have laid these results against the benefits of regular exercise.

Yoga practice is not a substitute for medical care. The emphasis is on prevention of illness by

maintaining balance within the mind and body. Still, many practitioners believe that yoga has yielded

positive physiological changes for them. For example, studies have shown that yoga practice has been

credited with easing of complaints including back pain, stress, migraine, and insomnia.

In addition, some have found Yoga helpful in reducing high blood pressure, pulse rates, and joint pain,

and increasing range of movement. People who practice Yoga regularly often cite such benefits as

increased vitality, greater emotional stability, improved concentration, better muscle tone and posture,

and weight loss. However, if you are overweight or suffer from high blood pressure, arthritis, or spinal

disk injuries, it's a good idea to check with the doctor before trying yoga.

ABOUT YOGA - Yoga is a way to attain physical, mental and spiritual health. It help us to use our body,

from a Sanskrit term meaning to join together, it promotes the union of the human soul with the

universal spirit.

Breathing

Breathing is considered very important in Yoga. It is believed that Prana - a life energy, flows through a

human body and it provides vitality to it. Breathing is considered as a physical manifestation of Prana.

Therefore, if one has control over ones breath then that person controls his or her energy. Yoga poses

are generally done with deep, diaphragmatic breathing. This increases oxygen flow to the brain and

body, easing stress and fatigue, and boosting energy.

Meditation

Meditation is another component of yoga, and many enthusiasts rely on yoga breathing as an aid to

reaching a deep meditative state. Meditation quiets the mind, and creates a profound feeling of

relaxation that can carry over into the whole day. In Yogic world, meditation is compared to a vocation

for the mind, and it is believed that daily practice can reduce feelings of anger, fear and depression.

Based on your birth chart, and the position of planets, we'll compute the planets that need to be

harmonized for you and give you your unique mantra for the current period. And just like the planetary

positions constantly change, so does your unique mantra. You need to come back at the end of your

mantra's period, for your next mantra.

What is Meditation all about? How to Meditate

Purpose of Meditation

Meditation is a time-tested technique to concentrate

our energies. Normally, we waste our energies. Not

only are they squandered in all directions by the

tornado of exterior impressions, but also even when we

manage to shut doors and windows, we find chaos

within ourselves.

The powers of the mind are like rays of dissipated

light-when they are concentrated they illuminate. This

is our only means of knowledge. The purpose of

Meditation is to bring about a complete harmony

between our Mind, Body and Soul.

Once this harmony is achieved, we are then in a

position as an individual to achieve the "Infinite

Potential" for action that lies within every human

being.

Meditation helps us to achieve a state of total

awareness through the following six practices as per

Vedic philosophy.

1. Samia Mental quietude and subduing of

passions

2. Dama Self restraint and the subjugation of

the five sense organs, the five

organs of action and the four

internal organs

3. Uparati Complete cessation of the

perceiving and acting sense faculty

4. Titiksha Endurance and patience (the power

Your Personalized Mantra

Like any other science, Astrology has its technology. It

has its theoretical knowledge and its practical

application. Just as physical science uncovers new

forms of energy in the outer world, like electric or

nuclear forces, astrology and Yogic sciences can

connect us with new forms of energy in the mind and

deeper consciousness.

Viswanadhajyothirnilayam through its Karma Index

technology computes the effects of each planet on an

individual on a particular day from the individual's birth

chart and determines which planets are to be

strengthened for the day.

As per Vedic Astrology, there are many ways to balance

and heal the planetary influences in our life. The most

powerful and effective method to heal and balance the

planetary influences is to meditate by chanting or by

listening to the mantra of the specific planets which

need to be balanced for the particular day.

Viswanadha Jyothirnilayam has specially created

separate music for each of the seed Mantras as

specified in Vedic Astrology. A recognized Vedic

musician chants the seed mantra, to the

accompaniment of appropriate music. The music is

composed by a renowned classical musician using the

specific Classical Raga or Melody, which is in harmony

with the nature of the specific planet.

to endure, without the slightest

discomposure, extremes of heat and

cold, joy and sorrow, honor and

abuse, loss and gain, and all other

pairs of opposites)

5. Samadhan Constant concentration of mind

6. Shraddha True faith, conviction and devotion

What is a Mantra?

A mantra is composed of psychically potent sound

syllables that are capable of influencing the human

system. They can excite the emotions and give

suggestions to the mind. They affect both the one who

chants them and the one who hears them.

Besides, being a sound pattern associated with some

meaning, a mantra is also energy composed of certain

frequencies that have a pattern of their own and a

vibration field that creates different intonations. These

frequencies and the sympathetic overtones generated,

influence our sympathetic and parasympathetic nerves,

which are spread in a fine network around the internal

organs. The sympathetic response generates the

neuromotor response and influences the two

hemispheres of the cerebrate cortex popularly known

as the right side of the brain and the left side of the

brain.

Harmonizing the Planets

Planets influence and play an important role in our

lives. And they're often responsible for the phases our

lives go through. For instance, when planets are weak,

in a specified period, they emit negative energy. In

order to neutralize this effect, we need to strengthen

our weaker planets.

Given below is a list of planets that govern our lives,

and their effect on us.

Sun Moon Mars

Mercury Jupiter Venus

Saturn Rahu Ketu

The Effect of Mantra

Mantra practice involves the left hemisphere of the

brain and is therefore effective in increasing positive

emotions. The intonation and melody, which are the

essential parts of mantra, remove negative emotions.

In association with a symbol (visual image)-the mantra

also provides the right hemisphere of the brain with a

concrete image of the object of emotional attachment.

Mantra for the Planets

Mantras may be used for religious worship, for

healing, to help spiritual evolution and for

purification of the mind.

Pronunciation, which is an important part of

intonation, plays an essential role in the recitation

of a mantra, apart from the melody. But

pronunciation changes from country to country and

place to place, as do melodies. Thus it is primarily

faith that creates the effect of the mantra.

In our meditation room, we have chosen the seed

Mantras for the healing of planet's effects as given

in the ancient Vedic texts.

Seed Mantras are not for group chanting. It has to

be chanted by an individual. Slow chanting relaxes

the mind, heart and breath if you only listen to it.

However, it is most effective only when the

chanting is done individually.

The Seed Mantra to harmonize and balance

individual planets consist of two parts. The first

part is always "AUM" or "OM".

AUM or OM: The essence of all Mantras. The

Upanishads say that "AUM" is God himself. God

in the form of sound is "AUM"

The second part of the seed mantra of the planet is

the concentrated form of the sound that is invoking

the planets. That is why these Mantras are called

Seed Mantras.

Tips for Mantra Meditation

1. Relax and sit erect, but be comfortable. Do not tire

mantra, with attention directed to the source of the

sound completely engages the mind. The source is not

the vocal organs alone, but also the idea of the sound in

the mind, whose source is "Self". Thus the practice of

mantra is more than a suggestion, or a bit of advice or

an idea. It is a means of getting in touch with our selfthe

purpose of meditation as explained earlier.

This is the meaning of the great saying of Jesus. "The

Kingdom of Heaven is within you." Heaven is not

beyond. It is here and now. Everything is Heaven. You

have only to open your eyes. Meditating with a Mantra

opens up our inner vision.

yourself unnecessarily to get into a straight ramrod

erect posture. It will come automatically as you

practice meditation. 2. Choose between the 2 specific

planets that you have to harmonize for the day, 3.

Choose to meditate online or follow the instructions to

download the Mantra with its music to meditate

offline. 4. When you start your session, concentrate on

the image as it appears on the screen. 5. Start a simple

breathing exercise like you would in a gym during your

workout. a) Inhale through one nostril by keeping the

other nostril closed with your fingers while OM is being

chanted. That will be in the first part of the seed

Mantra. b) Hold your breath till the second part of the

seed Mantra starts. c) Exhale through the opposite

nostril as the second part of the seed Mantra gets

chanted. d) Repeat this whole cycle of breathing

exercise 4 to 5 times synchronizing with the Mantra as

explained in the previous steps. This will complete the

breathing exercise, which is called Pranayam. You are

now in a perfect mental state to concentrate and to

continue your meditation. e) Just concentrate now on

the image and continue your normal breathing. 6. Try

to completely shut yourself from all external worries

and thoughts. However, thoughts will come initially--

both good and bad ones-however, this is very natural.

Do not make any special efforts to drive away thoughts

away, but just concentrate on the image, and chant the

mantra within your own mind and try to synchronize

your own chant with our Mantra as it is being chanted.

7. Thoughts will come and go, and as your practice gets

better, as will your concentration and synchronization.

The effectiveness of your meditation will increase

along with this progress. 8. We recommend that you

practice this initially for a period of 15 minutes. As you

get more tuned, increase it to a period of 25 minutes.

Those who already practice meditation and are

experienced at it should follow their own methods to

synchronize with the Mantra.

Stages of Meditation

First there are 3 distinct psychological stages to be

How to choose the Planets to Meditate for

Planets fall into 2 separate categories-fast moving and

achieved in the Meditation process.

1. Pratyahara This turns the organs of sense

away from exterior things and

directs them towards entirely

mental impressions.

2. Dharana This forces the mind to fix its

attention on a special and given

point either outwardly or inwardly.

3. Dhyana Properly speaking, the stage of

actual meditation, when the mind,

trained by preceding exercises, has

acquired the power of flowing in

an unbroken current towards a

chosen point.

These 3 stages are preceded by exercises of a

physiological nature.

Asana Control of posture

Pranayama Control of breath

Samadhi (Where Dhyana or Meditation is

intensified to the point of rejecting the

exterior part of meditation to achieve a

perfect state of harmony and unity

with the Self and the Universal Self)

When an individual has mastered all these 6 stages of

Meditation, he achieves the perfect state of awareness

and true knowledge. This in summary is the essence of

the Yoga of Knowledge (Jnyan) as stated in the

Bhagavad Gita.

This is not an easy path. We may take a "whole life" or

several births to reach this state of perfect knowledge

or Enlightenment or Salvation. The important thing is

that we in Cyber Astro believe that we must commence

this journey in this life itself, and it is never too late to

begin this journey. One doesn't have to be a spiritual

leader or a priest or an ascetic to start this journey.

slow moving. The mantra selection program will

identify both the fast moving and slow moving planet

for you that need to be harmonized and balanced as

per the transits in your birth chart. It will also give you

the time period for this specific selection is valid.

The planets Sun, Moon, Mercury, Mars and Venus are

all Fast Moving Planets. The planets Jupiter, Saturn,

Rahu and Ketu are all Slow Moving Planets.

The condition of a fast moving planet will usually

change within 7-days. In case of the Moon, it may even

change within a few hours. The effect of slow moving

planets lasts much longer. Conditions for Saturn, for

example, may last up to 6 months.

It is up to you to choose either of the two for

meditation for the day. It is even better to meditate

twice in the day to cover both planets. It is preferable

to meditate for the fast moving planet in the morning

and for the slow moving planet at night.

It is preferable for beginners not to meditate for the

two planets at the same time or during the same

session.

In this Age of Aquarius, every human being will

initiate this journey to discover his/her own inner self

irrespective of caste, creed or religion.

Stages of Yoga and Hatha-Yoga

In traditional yoga there are eight stages in reaching a blissful state. Some of these stages have become

popular forms of yoga. One of the most familiar is hatha-yoga, which emphasizes poses and breathing

technique. Good health is the goal in hatha-yoga.

Practice makes man perfect but practicing it the right way does wonder. We take you to the world of

Yoga poses (asanas) - A step by step guide to make it easier for you. Explore the Yoga poses from the

basic to the extreme.

CORPSE POSE (SAVASANA)

The Corpse Pose or Savasana is the classic relaxation

pose, practiced before each session, between asanas

and in Final Relaxation.(Details for Final Relaxation

Your yoga practice will help to be more in touch

with your body, able to recognize tension and

relaxation and thus to bring them under your

conscious control. At the end of session of asanas,

you should spend at least ten minutes in Final

Relaxation. During this time, you relax each part

of the body in turn. But in order to experience

relaxation, you must first experience tension.

Working up from the feet, as shown below, you

first tense and lift each part, then drop (but don't

place) it down. Now let your mind travel

throughout the body, commanding each part to

relax. Let yourself go. Sink deep into the quiet

pool of the mind. To bring your consciousness

back to your body, gently move your fingers and

toes, take a deep breath and as your exhale, sit up.

EASY POSE (SUKHASANA)

After relaxing in the Corpse Pose for a few

minutes, come up and sit in the Easy Pose,

Sukhasana, for pranayama and the neck,

shoulder and eye exercises. This asana is one of

the classic meditative poses, which help to

straighten the spine, slow the metabolism and

still the mind.

If you find that holding the pose is

uncomfortable, place a folded blanket under

the back of your buttocks. In order to stretch

the leg muscles evenly, be sure to alternate

which leg you place on top in the posture.

When you are ready, substitute the Half Lotus

or Lotus at this point.

on up the body, applying the formula to each part

along the way - the stomach, lungs, heart, jaw,

scalp, brain, and soon. Feel a wave of relaxation

rising up your body as you guide your awareness

through each part. Each time you inhale, feel a

wave of Oxygen flowing down to your feet; each

time you exhale, feel the tension flowing out of

your body, leaving your mind like a deep, still

lake, without a ripple. Now dive deep into the

center of this lake, deep within yourself, and

experience your true nature.)

It looks deceptively simple, but it is in fact one of the

most difficult asanas to do well and one, which

changes and develops with practice. At the end of an

asana session in your Corpse Pose will be more

complete than at the beginning because the other

asanas will have progressively stretched and relaxed

your muscles. When you first lie down, look to see that

you are lying symmetrically as symmetry provides

proper space for all parts to relax. Now start to work in

the pose. Rotate your legs in and out, then let them

fall gently out to the sides. Do the same with your

arms. Rotate the spine by turning your head from side

to side to center it. Then stretching yourself out, as

though someone were pulling your head away from

your feet, your shoulders down and away from your

neck your legs down and away from your pelvis. Let

gravity embrace you. Feel your weight pulling you

deeper into relaxation, melting your body into the

floor. Breathe deeply and slowly from abdomen

(right), riding up and down on the breath, sinking

deeper with each exhalation. Feel how your abdomen

swells and falls. Many important physiological changes

are taking place, reducing the bodies energy's loss,

removing stress, lowering your respiration and pulse

rate, and resting the whole system. As you enter deep

relaxation, you will feel your mind grow clear and

detached.

KAPALBHATI

Kapalabhati is one of the six Kriyas or purification

practices besides being a pranayama. The forced

exhalation rids the lower lungs of stale air, making

way for a fresh intake of oxygen-rich air and

cleansing the entire respiratory system. This is a

wonderfully invigorating exercise to begin your

pranayama. Translated literally its name means

"skull shining" exercise and indeed, by increasing

the amount of oxygen in the body, its effect is to

clear the mind and improve the concentration. It

consists of a series of exhalation and inhalations,

followed by a retention of breath. To exhale, you

contract the abdominal muscles sharply, raising the

diaphragm and forcing air out of the lungs; to

inhale, you relax the muscles, allowing the lungs

to fill with air. The exhalation should be brief,

active and audible, the inhalation longer, passive

and silent. The repeated up and down movement of

the diaphragm tomes the stomach, heart and liver.

Begin by practicing three rounds of twenty

pumping each and gradually work up to rounds of

sixty.

ANULOMA VILOMA

In this alternate nostril breathing exercise,

you inhale through one nostril, retain the

breath, then exhale through the other nostril

in a ratio of 2:8:4. The left nostril is the path

of the nadi called Ida, the right nostril that

of Pingala. If you are really healthy, you

will breathe predominantly through the Ida

nostril about one hour and fifty minutes,

then through the Pingala nostril. But in

many people this natural rhythm is

disturbed. Anuloma Viloma restores and

equal flow, balancing the flow of prana in

the body. One round of Anuloma Viloma is

made up of six steps, as shown below. Start

by practicing three rounds and build up

slowly to twenty rounds, extending the court

within the given ratio.

The Vishnu Mudra

In Anuloma Viloma, you adopt the Vishnu

Mudra with your right hand to close your

nostrils. Tuck your index and middle fingers

NECK & SHOULDER'S EXERCISES

Neck Exercises

Many people hold tension in their necks and

shoulders, leading to stiffness, bad posture and

tension headaches. Repeating these five exercises

eases tension, increases flexibility and tones the

muscles. Do them slowly and keep your spine

straight. Your neck relaxed and your shoulders

facing forward. First drop your head back, then

EYE EXERCISES

Like any other muscles, the eye muscles

need exercise if they are to be healthy and

strong. Much of the time we only shift our

gaze minimally from left to right, as when

reading, and turn our heads if we want to

look elsewhere. By moving the eyes in

every direction, without turning your head at

all, these five exercises will strengthen the

drop it right forward. Now keeping your head

erect, turn it all the way to the right, back to center,

then all the way to the left. Next drop your head

forward and roll it around as wide a circle as

possible. Repeat in the opposite direction. Now,

raise your right shoulder, then drop it down.

Repeat with the left. Lastly, raise both shoulders at

once, then drop them down again.

SHOULDERSTAND (SARVANGASANA):

It is believed that three asanas alone will keep the

body in perfect health - the Headstand, the

Shoulderstand and the Forward bend. The

Soulderstand invigorates and rejuvenates your

whole body - the Sanskrit name Sarvangasana

means literally "all parts pose". An ideal pick-meup,

it gives many of the same benefits as the

Headstand, with the difference that averting the

body at right angles to the head stretches the neck

and upper spine and, most important, stimulates

the thyroid and parathyroid glands by pressing

your chin into the base of your throat. The pose

encourages deep abdominal breathing because it

limits use of the top of your lungs. Initially this

may feel a little constructing, but you will soon

muscles, and help to prevent eyestrain and

improve eyesight. Breathe normally while

you are practicing them.

First look up, then look down. Now look to

the far right and then look far left. Next look

up to the right, then look diagonally

downward to the left. Repeat in the opposite

direction. Now imagine a large clock - look

up at 12 O'clock, then circle around it

clockwise, quite slowly for two rounds then

quicker for three. Repeat the exercise in an

anti clockwise direction. Lastly, hold your

thumb up about a foot from your face, and

move your eyes from the thumb to the wall

beyond and back. To end always "palm"

your eyes as shown below.

Rolling the Eyes Palming

adapt as you relax into the pose. To come out of

the Shoulderstand, always use the roll-out

described below.

1. Lie down on the

floor with your legs

together and your

hands, palms down,

by your sides.

Inhaling, push down,

by your sides.

Inhaling, push down

on your hands and

raise your legs

straight up above

you.

2. Lift your hips off the

floor and bring your legs

up, over and beyond

your head, at an angle of

about 45 degrees.

3. Exhaling, bend

your arms and

support your body,

holding as near the

shoulders as possible,

thumbs around the

front of the body,

fingers around the

back. Push your back

up, lift your legs.

4. Now straighten your

spine and bring the legs

up to a vertical position.

Press your chin firmly

into the base of your

throat. Breathe slowly

and deeply in the pose,

gradually trying to work

your elbows closer

together and your hands

further down your back

toward the shoulders, so

as to straighten your

torso. Keep your feet

relaxed.

Shoulderstand roll-out

To come down from the pose, lower your legs to an

angle of about 45 degrees over your head, place

your hand palms down behind you, then slowly roll

out of it, vertebra by vertebra. Breathe normally

until your whole spine is resting on the floor and

your legs are at right angles to it, then exhale as

you slowly lowe your legs, keeping the knees

straight.

SUN SALUTATION (SURYA NAMASKAR):

The Sun Salutation or Surya Namaskar limbers up the

whole body in preparation for the asanas. It is a

graceful sequence of twelve positions performed as

one continuous exercise. Each position counteracts the

one before, stretching the body in a different way and

alternately expanding and contracting the chest to

regulate the breathing. Practiced daily it will great

flexibility to your spine and joints and trims your waist.

One round of Sun Salutation consists of two

sequences, the first leading with the right foot in

positions 4 and 9 (as illustrated), the second leading

with the left. Keep your hands in one place from

positions 3 to 10 and try to coordinate your

movements with your breathing. Start by practicing

four rounds and gradually build up to twelve rounds.

LEG RAISES :

These simple exercises prepare the body for

asanas, strengthening in particular the

abdominal and lower back muscles used to

come up into the Headstand and trimming

the waist and thighs. If your muscles are

weak, you may find yourself arching your

lower back or using your shoulders to help

lift your legs. To get the most benefit from

the exercises, make sure that the full length

of your back is resting on the floor and keep

shoulders and neck relaxed. All of these

exercises begin with legs together and palms

down by your sides.

Single Leg Raising

In this series, one leg is raised while the

other remains flat on the floor. At first you

can push down with you hands to help lift

your leg. Once your muscles are stronger,

leave your hands palms up your sides. Keep

both nees straight and press your lower back

down to the floor to straighten the spine.

1. Stand erect

Single Wind Relieving

As its name suggests, this exercise,

Vatayanasana, gently massages the digestive

system and gives relief from excess wind in

the stomach from excess wind in the

stomach and intestines. It also tones and

stretches the lower back. While practicing it,

resist the tendency to raise the lower back or

buttocks off the ground. Try to keep the leg

that is on the floor as straight as possible.

1. Inhaling, bend

the right knee, wrap

your hands around

it and press to

12. Exhaling,

gently come back

to an upright

position and bring

your arms down

by your side.

This is the most demanding of the leg raises

shown here, especially if your abdominal

muscles are underdeveloped. At first you

may not be able to raise your legs right up or

may have to bend your knees slightly while

raising the legs, straightening them once

they are up. Pressing down with your palms

will help you to lift the legs. If you have a

particular weakness in your lower back or

abdominal muscles, try interlocking your

fingers and placing them on your abdomen

to create an extra set of "muscles". Press the

fingers down each time you need to contract

the abdominal muscles.

Whichever method you adopt, be sure to

keep your lower back and buttocks on the

floor. Once you can perform double leg

raising without strain, lower your legs

slowly as possible and keep your fleet an

inch or so off the floor between raises to

make your muscles work harder.

1. Lie flat on the

floor. Inhaling,

raise both legs,

keeping your

knees straight

and your

buttocks on the

floor

2. Exhale and lower

them. Repeat ten times.

Make sure that your

lower back remains flat

on the floor while you

bring the legs down, to

avoid injuring your

spine.

Double Wind Relieving

Like the single leg version, opposite, this

exercise also massages the abdominal

organs and helps to release any gases from

the intestines. In position 1 keep your head

and shoulders down and push your lower

back against the floor. When you perform

the rocking movement, try to maintain a

steady and controlled rhythm. Rocking gets

rid of any stiffness in a spine by gently

massaging the spinal vertebrae, back

muscles and surrounding ligaments.

1. Inhaling, bend

your knees, wrap

your hands around

them and press them

to your chest.

Exhaling, release the

legs.

2. Proceed as

above, then raise

your chin to your

knee. Breathe,

release. Repeat

with the left leg.

HEADSTAND (SIRSHASANA) :

King of asanas, the Headstand or Sirshasana is one of the most powerfully

beneficial postures for both and mind. By reversing the normal effects of gravity,

it rests the heart, aids the circulation, and relieves pressure on the lower back.

Practiced regularly, it will help prevent back problems and improve memory,

concentration, and the sensory faculties. Inverting the body also makes you

breathe deeply, bringing a fresh supply of oxygen-rich blood to the brain - any

slight breathing difficulty you experience at first will quickly pass. Mastering the

Headstand requires no great strength. It is largely a matter of conquering your

fears and believing you can do it. The key to balance is the tripod formed by

elbows and hands - make sure your elbows don't shift out of position.

Caution: People with high blood pressure glaucoma or a detached retina should

refrain from attempting the headstand.

1. Kneel down and

rest your weight on

your forearms. Wrap

your hands around

2. Release your hands and

place them in front of you,

with fingers interlocked.

head in your clasped

hands and the top of your

head on the floor. The

so that your neck is not bent

backward or forward, but is

in a straight line with the

legs to an angle of about 45 degrees over

your head, place your hand palms down

behind you, then slowly roll out of it,

vertebra by vertebra. Breathe normally until

your whole spine is resting on the floor and

your legs are at right angles to it, then

exhale as you slowly lowe your legs, keeping

the knees straight.

PLOUGH (HALASANA) The Plough or Halasana:

completes the movement of Shoulder stand, bringing

the feet and hands down to the floor to mould the

body into the shape of a primitive plough. The pose

shares many of the Shoulderstand's effects: it gives

flexibility to the spine and neck, nourishes the spinal

nerves, and strengthen the back, shoulder, and arm

muscles while releasing tension. By compressing to the

abdomen, it also massages the internal organs. When

you perform the Plough, be sure to keep your spine

stretched up and your knees straight. Your feet may

not reach the floor to begin with, but as your spine

becomes more supple, the weight of your legs will

gradually pull them down. Advanced students can go

straight into the pose from the Shoulderstand, but

beginners should relax in between. Use the

Shoulderstand roll-out to come out of the Plough.

THE PLOUGH (HALASANA):

Complementing the Plough, the Bridge brings

the feet down from the Shouderstand in the

opposite direction, reversing the stretch on the

spine and relieving pressure on the neck. Its

Sanskrit name, Setu Bandhasana, means

"bridge-building pose", referring to the way the

body creates a perfect arch from head to toe.

Moving into and out of the pose strengthens

the abdominal and lower back muscles and

makes the spine and wrists more supple. To

come into the Bridge from the Shoulderstand

you need a fairly flexible back - at first you may

have to push up into the pose from the floor, as

shown below right. Advanced students can

perform the Shouderstand, Plough and Bridge

as one continuous series.

Caution:: It is essential to use the same position

for the Bridge as for the Shoulderstand, with

thumbs uppermost - you risk spraining your

thumbs if they are under your back.

1. Lying down

on your back,

with your legs

together and

your hands

palms down by

your sides,

inhale and raise

your legs up.

Exhale, then

inhale and bring

your hips up off

the floor.

2. Support your

back with your

hands, keeping

your elbows as

close to one

another as

possible. Then,

without

bending your

knees, exhale

and bring your

legs down

behind your

head. If you

cannot yet

touch the floor

with your feet,

remain

breathing

deeply in this

position.

3. If your feet

comfortably

reach the floor,

walk them as far

behind your

head as you can

and, with your

toes curled

under, push

your torso up

and your heels

back. Stretch

your arms out

behind your

back with the

hands flat on

the floor.

Breathe slowly

and deeply.

Beginner's step 1:

Lie down on your

back with your knees

bent, feet together.

Place your hands on

the lower back, as in

the Shoulderstand,

and then lift your

hips up as high as

you can. Now

proceed as shown in

step 2 (below). Slowly

reverse the steps

again to come back

out of the pose.

1. Come up into the

Shoulderstand,

supporting your waist

with your hands. Bend

one leg and lower

thefoot toward the

floor.

2. Bring the other leg

down to the ground.

Hold the pose for at

least two or three

deep breaths. Inhale,

come into the

Shoulderstand and

roll out. Once you can

support yourself with

your hands nearer

your shoulders in the

Shoulderstand, you

can drop into the

Bridge, both legs at

once.

FISH (MATSYASANA) Matsya: THE FORWARD BEND

The fish, was one of the incarnations of the Hindu God

Vishnu, who assumed this form to save the world from

the Flood. The Fish Pose Matsyasana, is the counter

pose to the Shoulder stand and must always be

practiced after it. Having stretched the neck and upper

spine in the Shoulderstand, Plough and Bridge, you

now compress them as you arch back, relieving

stiffness in your neck and shoulder muscles and

correcting any tendency to rounded shoulders.

Holding the pose exercises the chest, tones the nerves

of the neck and back, and ensures that the thyroid and

parathyroid glands obtain maximum benefit from the

Shoulder stand. It also expands the ribcage fully and so

aids deep breathing and increases your lung capacity.

You should remain in the pose for at least half the

amount of time that you spent in the Shoulderstand in

order to balance the stretch.

1. Lie down on your back

with your legs straight and

your feet together. Place

your hands, palms down,

underneath your thighs.

Note: Your hands

should rest palms

down, side by side, and

your elbows should be

as close together as

possible under your

back.

2. Pressing down on

your elbows, inhale and

arch your back, resting

only a very little on the

top of your head on the

floor. Exhale. Breathe

deeply while in the

position, keeping legs

and lower torso

(PASCHIMOTHANASANA):

The Forward Bend or the

Paschimothanasana looks deceptively

simple. But it is the fact a very important

and demanding pose. The Sanskrit word

"paschima" means "the West", referring to

the back of the body, which is literally

stretched from the heels to the top of the

spine. Practicing this asana invigorates the

internal organs, reduce fat, and stimulates

the entire nervous system. Before holding

the pose, loosen up the body by inhaling and

coming back out of the position, then next

exhaling and going into it again, three times.

Don't try to bring your head to your knees as

this will curve the spine. Instead, aim to

bring the torso as far as possible, while

keeping the knees and spine straight.

With practice, you

can wrap your index

fingers around your

big toes and bring

your elbows down to

to the floor, or

stretch your arms out

over your feet, as

shown right.

In the position, breathe deeply, feeling

yourself and advancing forward a little

more every time you exhale. Hold for three

or four deep breaths at first, gradually

increasing the number as you become

relaxed in the pose. When you release the

position, reach forward as you come up.

THE COBRA (BHUJANGASANA) :

In Bhujangasana, the head and trunk arch

gracefully up, like a corba with its hood raised.

The spine receives a powerful backward stretch,

the surrounding musculature is strengthened and

the abdominal organs are toned up and massaged.

The pose is particularly effective for combating

menstrual irregularities and pain and relieving

constipation. Perform the asana in stages, as shown

below, visualizing the smooth, supple movement

of a snake as you slowly stretch your spine up and

backward, vertebra by vertebra. Keep your

shoulders down, your elbows tucked in to your

body, and your face relaxed in the pose. You may

find the full Cobra position difficult to achieve at

first, but in time your spine will become supple

THE LOCUST (SALABHASANA):

Unlike most asanas, the Locust or Salabhasana

requires a sudden movement to get into the

pose. Its effects supplement those of the Cobra

but where the Cobra concentrates on the upper

half of the body, the Locust works mainly on the

lower half, strengthening the abdomen, lower

backs and legs. Like the other backward bends,

it manages the internal organs, ensuring

efficient functioning of the digestive system and

preventing constipation. To begin with, you

may only manage to raise your legs a few inches

off the floor - in fact, it is at this stage that the

pose most resembles a locust, tall in air. With

regular practice you will discover how to

enough for head and feet to touch.

1. Lie down with your

legs together and your

hands palms down

under your shoulders.

Rest your forehead on

the floor.

2. Inhaling, bring your

head up, brushing first

your nose, then your

chin against the floor.

Now lift up your hands

and use your back

muscles to raise your

chest as high as

possible. Hold for a

few deep breaths then,

exhaling, slowly

returns to position 1,

keeping your chin up

until last.

3. Inhaling, come up as

before, but this time use

your hands to push the

trunk up. Continue up

until you are bending

from the middle of the

spine. Hold for two or

three deep breaths,

then exhale and come

slowly down.

4. Inhaling, raise the

trunk as before, but

this time continue up

and back until you can

feel your back bending

all the way down from

the neck to the base of

the spine. Breathe

normally. Hold the

position for as long as

you feel comfortable,

then slowly come down

and relax.

contract your lower back muscles to thrust your

legs up high, as well as developing the

necessary strength. In time your legs will come

to extend beyond your head as in the

photograph.

1. Lying on

your front,

inhale and

roll on to

your side.

Make two

fists and

place them

side by side,

with thumbs

pressing into

your thighs.

Bring your

elbows as

close

together as

possible.

Note: You

may find that

a different

hand position

gives you

more

leverage -

with your

hands

cupped, the

palms facing

the ground,

or with hands

clasped

together, as

above.

2. Exhaling,

roll over on

to your front,

so that you

are lying on

your arms,

with your

head resting

on your chin.

Take a few

normal

breaths in

this position.

3. Inhale and

raise your

right leg,

using your

hands as a

lever. Take

two full

breaths, then

exhale and

bring the leg

down.

Repeat with

the left leg.

Keep both

legs straight

and don't

swivel the

hips.

4. Now take

three deep

breaths and

on the third

inhalation,

retain the

breath and

thrust both

legs up. Hold

the pose,

breathing

normally,

then exhale

and bring the

legs down

with control.

Repeat when

your

breathing

has slowed

down.

BOW (DHANURASANA):

The Bow or Dhanurasana raises both halves of the

body at once, combining the movements of the Cobra

and Locust, and countering the Plough and the

Forward Bend. Like an archer stringing a bow, you use

your hands and arms to pull your trunk and legs up

together to form a curve. This tones your back muscles

and maintains the elasticity of your spine, improving

posture and increasing vitality. Balancing the weight of

the body on your abdomen also reduces abdominal fat

and keeps the digestive and reproductive systems

healthy. The Rocking Bow, in particular, gives your

internal organs a powerful massage. Initially, you will

find it easier to lift your knees with legs apart; more

advanced students should aim to perform the Bow

with legs together.

HALF SPINAL TWIST (ARDHA MATSYENDRA

ASANA):

The spinal Twist, which takes its Sanskrit name

from the great yogic sage Matsyendra, is one of

the few poses in the Basic Session that rotates

the spine. Most bend the spinal column either

backward or forward, but to become truly

flexible it must be twisted laterally as well. The

movement also tones the spinal nerves and

ligaments, and improves the digestion. The

Half-Spinal Twist or Ardha Matsyendrasana,

taught here, has similar benefits, and prepares

the body for the full pose. Keep your spine

erect and your shoulders level in the position

and breaths steadily, twisting a little more each

time you exhale. Twist first to the left, as below,

then repeat the sequence twisting to the right.

1. Lie down on

your front, head

down. Inhale and

bend your knees

up, then reach

back with your

hands and clasp

hold of your

ankles. Exhale.

2. Lie down on

your front,

head down.

Inhale and

bend your

knees up, then

reach back

with your

hands and

clasp hold of

your ankles.

Exhale.

The Rocking Bow

Come into the

Bow, then rock

forward as you

exhale, backward

as you inhale.

(Don't use your

head to rock.)

Repeat up to ten

times, then relax.

1. Kneel down

with your legs

together, resting

on your heels.

2. Then sit to the

right of your

feet, as

illustrated.

3. Lift your left

leg over your

right, placing

the foot against

the outside of

the right knee.

Bring your

right heel in

close to your

buttocks. Keep

the spine erect.

4. Stretch your

arms out to the

sides at

behind you.

THE CROW (KAKASANA):

This asana strikingly mimics the posture of a

cawing crow - with the body's weight supported on

the elbows and hands and the head thrust well

forward. One of the most valuable balancing

poses, the Crow or Kakasana is in fact relatively

easy to achieve, tough it may look advanced. The

secret is to lean far enough forward and to keep

your mind from wandering, focusing your

attention solely on keeping your balance.

Practicing the Crow will greatly strengthen your

wrists, arms and shoulders, improve your

concentration, and increase your breathing

capacity by expanding the chest.

1. Squat down and

bring your arms

between your knees.

2. Choose a point on the

floor in front of you on

which to focus. Inhale,

THE HANDS TO FEET POSE (PADA

HASTASANA):

The Hands to Feet Pose or Pada Hastasana

gives many of the same benefits as the Forward

Bend - trimming the waist, restoring elasticity

to the spine, and stretching the ligaments of the

legs, especially the hamstrings. It also aids the

flow of blood to the brain. Once again, as in the

Forward Bend, the purpose of the asanas is to

bend down as far as you can with your spine

and legs straight. Holding your toes and

bringing your head into the shins will follow

naturally when your back has become more

flexible. Breathe deeply in the position, and let

yourself fold a little further down with each

exhalation. To pull your chest in closer to your

legs, walk your hands back behind you, palms

on the floor, as in the photograph.

Place your palms

down flat on the floor

in front of you,

shoulder-width apart,

with fingers splayed

and pointing slightly

inward. Then bend

your elbows out to

the sides, making the

backs of your arms

into shelves for your

knees to rest on.

then while you retain the

breath, lean toward this

point, transferring your

weight to your hands and

lifting your toes up.

Exhale and hold the pose

for three or four deep

breaths.

1. Standing with your

feet together,

exhale. Then inhale

and raise your arms

above your head. Lift

your head up,

making yourself as

tall as possible, so as

to lengthen the

spine. As you exhale,

fold forward from

the pelvis. Keep your

Knees and spine as

straight as you can.

2. Come down as far

as possible and

either grasp your

ankles or clasp hold

of your big toes with

thumbs and index

fingers, as below.

Pull your head in

toward your shins

and breathe deeply

in the pose.

Come out of the

position slowly,

inhaling. Stretch your

arms above your

head, then lower

them down by your

sides.

THE TRIANGLE (TRIKONASANA):

In Hindu art the triangle is a potent symbol for the

divine principle, and it is frequently found in the

yantras and mandalas used for meditation. Pointing

downward it represents Shakti, the dynamic female

FINAL RELAXATION (SAWASANA):

Your yoga practice will help to be more in

touch with your body, able to recognize

tension and relaxation and thus to bring

them under your conscious control. At the

end of session of asanas, you should spend

principle; pointing up it stands for Siva, the passive

male force. Trikonasana, the Triangle, concludes the

postures in our Basic Session. It augments the

movement of the Half Spinal Twist and gives an

excellent lateral stretch to the spine, toning the spinal

nerves and helping the proper functioning of the

digestive system. The body becomes lighter and other

asanas are improved. When performing the Triangle,

take care that both your knees are straight and that

your hips are facing squarely forward, rather than

twisted. Bend first to the right, then repeat, bending to

the left as shown below. Aim for perfect balance in

these basic poses, and you will gain the control and

concentration necessary to more advanced variations.

1. Stand with your

feet well apart

(about 3-4 feet).

Point your left foot

to the left, and your

right foot slightly to

the left. Stretch

your arm out at

shoulder level and

bring the right arm

straight up, against

your right ear. Now

inhale.

2. As you exhale, bend to the

left and slightly forward to

bypass your ribs. Slide your

left hand down your left leg

and hold on to the lowest part

you can reach. Look out at

your right hand. Take several

full breaths in this position

before releasing it. Repeat,

bending to the right.

at least ten minutes in Final Relaxation.

During this time, you relax each part of the

body in turn. But in order to experience

relaxation, you must first experience

tension. Working up from the feet, as shown

below, you first tense and lift each part, then

drop (but don't place) it down. Now let your

mind travel throughout the body,

commanding each part to relax. Let yourself

go. Sink deep into the quiet pool of the

mind. To bring your consciousness back to

your body, gently move your fingers and

toes, take a deep breath and as your exhale,

sit up.

Autosuggestion

After practicing the sequence shown,

visualize your body in your mind's eye, and

repeat this simple formula mentally: "I relax

the toes, I relax the toes. The toes are

relaxed. I relax the calves, I relax the calves.

The calves are relaxed." Continue on up the

body, applying the formula to each part

along the way - the stomach, lungs, heart,

jaw, scalp, brain, and soon. Feel a wave of

relaxation rising up your body as you guide

your awareness through each part. Each time

you inhale, feel a wave of Oxygen flowing

down to your feet; each time you exhale,

feel the tension flowing out of your body,

leaving your mind like a deep, still lake,

without a ripple. Now dive deep into the

center of this lake, deep within yourself, and

experience your true nature.

DOMINATING PLANETS IN YOUR HOROSCOPE

Dominating Planet in your Horoscope : Sun

Usually the individual will do well in practicing meditation and yoga of knowledge to connect to the

higher self within. The main thing is to establish a sense of self-identity according to our inner nature as

pure consciousness. We must learn to discriminate between the lower self and the higher self. We

should trace the origin of the "I thought" to the Divine light within the heart.

Dominating Planet in your Horoscope : Moon

Lunar energy is usually increased by devotional practices (Bhakti yoga). We should meditate upon a form

of the Divine particularly of the Goddess. We should strive to develop more peace, faith, receptivity,

openness and surrender to the Divine or truth. Usually lunar energy allies us with a spiritual or religious

tradition or group, but we should apply our faith with openness and truth not with emotional

attachment.

Dominating Planet in your Horoscope : Mars

Mars is increased by the Yogas of knowledge and techniques by practices, which aim at the

development of energy and insight. Mars types like to work on themselves in a practical way through

physical practices or through mental methods like visualization and ritual. On a lower level, the martial

arts can be used to strengthen Mars energy; yet such methods may cater to a negative Mars influence

and bring about a seeking of power and prestige for the ego.

Dominating Planet in your Horoscope : Mercury

Mercury energy is increased by the yoga of knowledge particularly by spiritual techniques, which

emphasize reason, discrimination, clear expression and objective perception. It often gives us the role of

a teacher of these things. The practice of mantra is helpful as it the study of spiritual philosophies like

Vedanta or the learning of Sanskrit.

Dominating Planet in your Horoscope : Jupiter

Jupiter directs us to the spiritual life generally and gives us the propensity for a broad and integral path,

combining knowledge, devotion, practices and service, as in the path of Raja Yoga. Its basic impulse is

towards devotion (faith), but from that it develops knowledge. Jupiter is more concerned with principle

and value than form, but often loves ceremonies and rituals. Jupiter gives enthusiasm, but it may be

temporary, if we do not fix it to a long-term purpose.

Dominating Planet in your Horoscope : Venus

Venus related to Bhakti yoga or the yoga of devotion. It makes us receptive to Divine love, joy and

beauty, as we find in the stories of Radha and Krishna or in Sufi love poetry. It inclines us to chanting,

rituals, dance, devotional singing and visualizations. Generally, we are inclined to approach the Divine in

the form of a particular figure, teacher or deity, whom we love and serve. Venus also can give occult

knowledge or powers, like ability to see visions or to travel astrally, but can get us caught in the glamour

and illusion of the astral plane.

Dominating Planet in your Horoscope : Saturn

Saturn required self-discipline, renunciation, surrender, detachment, objectivity and doing of good

karma - the yogas of knowledge and service. It is more concerned with practice than with theory and in

his higher form, is the silent sage. It requires inaction and letting go on our part. To cleanse the influence

of a negative Saturn, some form of karmic expiation may be required like prayer, atonement,

pilgrimages or giving of charity.

Dominating Planet in your Horoscope : Rahu

RahuPeople with weak Rahu should avoid Yogas that open up to the astral plane, including the use of

visualization, hypnosis and modern high tech yoga (using tapes videos). Devotion, surrender to the

Divine or Bhakti yoga is best as Rahu's influence makes discernment and meditation difficult. Some form

of psychic clearing, expiation or exorcism in extreme cases may be helpful. There should be an alliance

with a clear tradition and consistent discipline, the avoidance of wishful thinking, the seeking of

experiences or the developing of occult powers.

Dominating Planet in your Horoscope : Ketu

Ketu is increased by the yoga of knowledge, the capacity for self-inquiry, much as under the Sun. it

causes us to seek to transcend time and the senses. Meditation on death is also helpful for developing

the higher yogic powers of Ketu.

VEDIC RITUALS :

Each planet has its representative deity and its specific form. Each deity has a certain color, particular

appearance, a unique vehicle (the animal it rides, signifying its underlining power). All the planetary

deities are regarded as male. This is because all the signs and constellation are regarded as female. The

planets are the forces (male), which work in the fields of signs (female). Planetary deities also have their

ruling deities (Adhidevta) and their overlords (Pratyadhidevta). These may be male of female according

to the nature of the planets.

“Astrological Yagnas” are the most powerful and potent astrological remedies either to fulfill

the cherished goals in our life or to avoid dangerous and fatal disasters in our life.” A

personalized Yagna is just like a specific medicine prescribed by a physician for a particular

illness. When the problem is intense and when all the means to make it right has failed then we

could go for a personalized yagna, which is more effective since its emphasis is only on one

particular problem."

We believe would be of immense help not only to restore your faith and belief but also to fulfill

some of your wishes. The personalized yagna after much research would include the five

important aspects of life: health, wealth, marriage, removal of obstacles and children.

Kaal means Death. The person born under Kaal Sarpa Yoga passes through a lot of difficult phases

like death threatening situation. The Kaal Sarp Yog is formed when all the planets are present in

between Rahu and Ketu. According to Indian astrology, there are many types of Kaal Sarpa Yogas.

If all seven planets come between Rahu & Ketu then it is not good. The person who takes birth in

this Yoga faces different kind of problems and instability in life like disturbances in mind, loss in

business, family problems etc. A person, who has Kaal Sarpa Yoga in the horoscope always fear

from death, suffers from tensions and insecurity.

This Yoga is more dangerous than other malefic yoga. This Yoga affects a person till the age of 30

to 47 and sometimes throughout his/her life, it depends upon the position of Kaal Sarp Yoga in the

birth chart. So, it is important to find out the Kaalsarpa Yoga in the chart and which bhava (houses)

are affected. This is like a snake-ladder syndrome in life. Under this yoga a person can rise to a

high social and economic level and then can have sudden down fall from that high status.

It should be noted that the Kaalsarp Yoga is not always bad. It has the power to confer gains too.

All planets must fall between Rahu and Ketu.

Kaal Sarp Dosha Mala is designed to remove this dosha. Mala is made of an 11 mukhi Hanuman

rudraksha in the center with a large Hanuman silver locket yantra.

This yagna should be performed by people whose birth

chart shows that all the planets fall between Rahu and Ketu and is going through a lot of agonies in

life and life threatening incidents.

A successful marriage depends on two things: finding the right person and being the right person

Marriage is not just coming together of two individuals. There is much more to it. To sustain a

marriage it is important that there is effort from both sides than only a marriage can carry on. It is

important to find the right person at the right time. It is not only important for girls to get married

to the right person but it is equally important for a person to find one.

It is important to remember God when we are making an important decision of our life. A person

who wants to have a good married life and a suitable life partner prays to Mangla Gouri to help him

find a good match so, that he will find someone who would always be with him during his ups and

downs.

This mantra is attributed to Goddess Durga. The regular and continuous chant of this mantra by the

male section of the society helps them get a wife of their expectation. The use of rudraksha mala (A

beaded garland of the seeds of Eleocarpus Ganitrus Tree) while chanting is favorable.

For solving difficulties related to delayed marriage, marital

problems and Mangla Dosha this is one of the most prescribed poojas. Devi is worshiped as

Mangla Gouri and pooja performed with shodasopacharas and namavali pooja.a man performs this

yagna to get a suitable wife who is blessed with all the virtues so,that his married life would have a

Katyaayni is the sixth form of Goddess Durga. Sage Katyaayan was the son of the great sage Kat.

Katyayan had observed rigorous penance and worship of "Bhagavati Paramba with a desire to get

paramba daughter. The wish was granted and she took birth as a daughter of Katyaayan and

therefore named as "Katyaayni". She has four hands. The top right hand is positioned in a gesture

of providing courage and the other hand is positioned in a gesture of rendering a boon. The top left

hand is holding a sword and the other holding a lotus. The Goddess is mounted on a lion and she is

worshiped on the sixth day of the Durga puja. If one worships the deity with a pure soul he attains

success in religion, wealth, passion and salvation. Disease, sorrow and fear are eliminated. Tripur

sundari.

The presiding Deity of Srichakra, Devi, is Known as Lalita Tripura Sundari. The goddess Tripura

Sundari in her aspect as Shodasi is represented as a sixteen-year-old girl, and is believed to embody

sixteen types of desire. Tripura Sundari, also called Shodashi, Lalita and Rajarajeshvari. Tripura

Sundari, also called Shodashi, Lalita and Rajarajeshvari, is one of the group of ten goddesses of

hindu belief and these goddesses are collectively called mahavidyas.

The Shodasi Tantra, a treatise on the Tantra, describes Tripura Sundari as "the radiant light in the

eyes of Shiva". She is described as being of dusky color, and is depicted in an intimate position

with an aspect of Shiva. The couple are shown on a bed, a throne, or a pedestal resting on the

significant male gods of Hinduism like Brahma,Vishnu ,Rudra Nd Indra.

Kashmiris are the foremost in worship of Tripura Sundari, who are the only ones who remember

the hymn to Tripura Sundari, Pancastavi in entirety.Tripura Sundari is described in great detail as

extremely attractive, beautiful, and erotically inclined.The Lalitha Sahasranama details her charms

from head to foot, and the most part of the Saundaryalahari is similarly occupied with her attractive

appearance. She is often said to give desire and to suffuse the creation with desire. The

Saundaryalahari also states that a worn-out old man, ugly and sluggish in the arts of love, can be

restored to sexual attractiveness and vigor by her glance. The description of a beautiful woman,

part by part, in the process of her arraying herself (shringar), was an established poetic form in

Indian classical literature.

The several names that associate or identify her with the female sexual organ in her thousand-name

hymn in the Vamakeshvara Tantra also suggest the erotic character of the goddess.The Tripura

Sundari Ashtakam by Adi Shankaracharya describes her as a Mother, her nourishing breasts akin to

mountain peaks that give birth to rivers. She is described wearing a blue dress with red spots,

holding a pot of honey, her eyes quivering with intoxication.

This yagna is especially performed by girls who might be having some problem regarding

marriage. Even whe a girl has all the virtues she might not be getting a suitable partner or might be

having some astrological problem, at such times katyaayni yagna can be performed.

“I offer my obeisance to Shree Mangala, the god of the planet Mars, who was born from the

womb of the earth goddess. His brilliant effulgence is like that of lightning, and he appears as

a youth carrying a spear in his hand."

In match making most famous and sadistic problem is Mangal Dosh. In reality, it is not Mangal

Dosh but it is called Sumanglik dosha. It means problem in auspicious events of marriage life. In

other words, stoppage in something auspicious or good work is known as Mangal Dosh. This dosh

is known as a very big problem in married life. We live in a modern world but there are certain

things that we still believe in and one of them is marriage between two individuals. Let us have a

look at what does manglik exactly mean and what are its effects?

Mars holds a very important part in our horoscope-it is the planet of action. There are just handful

of people who possesses a correct balance of Martian energy. On the positive front Mars gives us

energy, will power, self-confidence and motivation but this could also lead to conflict, competition

and domination. Mars indicates premature death; and loss of partner, particularly so when Mars is

afflicted by "Kuja Dosha". This affliction of Mars in a chart commonly makes the horoscope to be

known as a Manglik horoscope. It is caused by placement of Mars in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, 12th

house of the natal chart.

This condition is believed by some to be devastating for marriage, causing discomfort and tension

in relationship, leading to separation and divorce, and in some cases, it is believed to cause

untimely death of one spouse. This is attributed to the "fiery" nature of this planet. If two mangliks

marry, the negative effects are believed to cancel each other out.

A person who has an affliction of Mars in his/her chart should perform this yagna so that the nature

of this Manglik dosha would be less effective.

"Srusti Sthilaya Yasya lila Eva mahesituh

Tam Vande Saccidanandam Sarva shubhanivruttaye ||"

“Oh! Lord, the creator, protector and destroyer of the universe, the very form of truth,

consciousness, and bliss I bow to you. Let all the inauspicious things be driven away from me

and your devotee be protected.”

The Shri Rudram Chamkam is a Vedic stotra dedicated to Rudra, an earlier aspect of Shiva

Chamkam assures granting of what we ask. The creator makes no distinction between the things of

the world and the other world. Both belong to him and desire born out of Virtue is really

manifestation of divinity and Dharma.

Chamkam furnishes completely the ideal of human happiness and defines in the highest degree the

desires and do not delimit to be asked or to be granted. Sri Rudram-Chamkam occupies a very

important place in Vedic literature and in the practice of Vedic Religion. It is the heart of Krishna

Yajurveda and is treasured in the center of Taittiriya Samhita Strictly speaking, the Rudra is a

Homa or sacrifice performed in fire in honour of God Rudra. While most of the rituals relating to

the other Gods stop limited to the particular purpose intended in the Karma Kanda, it was felt that

the Rudram could not and should not be so confined, but put to further varied uses. Hence we find

that Rudram and Chamkam are used invariably for all the Vedic worship of Shiva in all the

households and temples. The Rudram is addressed to worship Lord Shiva, who is said to give to the

devotee who seeks His Grace anything that is asked for.

The Chamkam occurs in the 4th Kanda, 7th Prapataka of the Yajur Veda. The rudra is mostly

chanted during Homa and avishekam. A pooja is performed with the chanting of the rudra mantra

1000 times is known as maha rudra,it‟ s done on special occasions like Maha shivaratri or Shravan

Somvar. Therefore, this yagna should be performed in a perfect way and with good intention and a

fruitful result will be followed. Yagna does not only mean performing Pooja, it means purifying

oneself from within.

A person who wants immediate relief from health problem, those who are childless or those facing

problems in getting married or those facing financial crisis or if those having some wish to be

fulfilled with in a short span of time can perform this yagna. Also, it is good to perform this yagna

on auspicious days like birthdays and marriage anniversaries because this yagna acts as a shield of

protection through out the year from all soughts of negativities.

Saturn‟s Seven and a Half Year Cycle also known as Sade Satti is one of the toughest periods in the

life of a person. Shani or Saturn is the most dreaded god after Yama, the god of death. He is a

malicious deity and is most feared by Hindus. The superstitions associated with Shani make him a

fearsome deity who causes all kinds of havoc in the lives of innocent people. It is said that a person

born under the influence of Saturn suffers from various problems like poverty, tension, insult,

displeasure and his family too suffers along with him.

When Saturn is transiting through the 12th, 1st, and 2nd house from the natal moon, this is termed

Sade-satti. “Sade-satti” literally means 7 ½ years, which means that Saturn naturally takes 2 ½

years in its transit from one house to another house. This transit is considered particularly important

in Vedic Astrology because this transit is supposed to indicate difficult results either to the native

or the native‟s close relatives.

One sure remedy for Shani's evil effect is worshipping Lord Hanuman. Scriptures say that when

Shani warned Lord Hanuman about the onset of his seven-and-half year long influence ( sade satti

), Lord Hanuman accepted the challenge and allowed Saturn to have his play. When the planet

dwelled on Lord Hanuman's head, Hanuman loaded heavy rocks on his head so viciously that the

planet was almost crushed. Shani faced similar agony when he tried to dwell on Hanuman's body.

Finally, the planet had to bow before Hanuman. Shani then declared that anyone who worshipped

Lord Hanuman would not be affected by the evil effect of the planet.

A person who is going through Saturn‟s Seven and a Half

Year Cycle; one of the toughest periods in the life of a person.

Ganpati Yagna - 5 Days 1001 551 26000

He is the emblem of patience, devotion and truth. He is the dutiful son and the remover of obstacles

and his vehicle is a tiny mouse compared to his huge body. He is none other than Lord Ganesh.

With the head of an elephant he may look tough from outside but he is the beloved deity of the

people and the god of wisdom, literature and worldly success.

Wisdom is indeed very important. We can win a battle or lose one because of the thinking that is

required at that particular time. Shiva decided that whoever would make a tour around the world

and come to the starting place first would have the right to be the elder son. Kartikeya at once sat

on his peacock and took a flight. The vehicle of Ganesh was a tiny mouse and the mouse was sad

that he could not help him. He thought for a moment and then went around his parents and asked

for the prize. Surprised Lord Shiva said that he could not do so because he had not travelled around

the world. To this Ganesha replied that for him, they were his world and he had completed the tour.

Shiva was very happy to see the wisdom of his son so proclaimed him as the elder of the two.

Ganesha is the Lord of Obstacles, both of a material and spiritual order. He can place obstacles in

the path of those who need to be checked and can remove blockages just as easily. The Sanskrit

terms vighnakart ("obstacle-creator") and vighnahart ("obstacle-destroyer").

This yagna is done to pray to Lord Ganapati, the remover of obstacles. It is especially auspicious

before starting any new venture. It is said that when He was young, Lord Ganapati obtained a boon

from his father - Lord Shiva, that whenever anybody started anything, he would be worshipped

first. As per Hindu mythology Lord Ganesh Ji is considered to be first inline among all Gods, That

is why before starting any Puja/Homam/Yagna Ganpati puja is done first. A brief Puja is given here

for daily recitement for the worshipers. A detailed Ganpati Puja can be ordered. Some of the

benefits of Ganapati Puja are acquiring peace and happiness by getting rid of malefic forces,

removing troubles that prevent us from starting on a spiritual path or business, creating positive

vibrations in the house, starting new ventures such as a new job, removing obstacles while starting

a new business or investments, and getting married. Ganapati Homas are traditionally performed

every Chaturthi (the fourth day of the lunar month).

This yagna is for people who are facing some problems in

life. Even after putting constant efforts when a person is not getting any fruitful result then he/she

can perform this yagna. For example: constant failure in exams, business or in work place.

We bow our head in devotion to the almighty Lord Shiva who is the destroyer of all evils. He is the

one whom we offer our prayers, to avoid ultimate death. Lord Shiva appears in a meditating but

ever-happy posture. He has knotted hair which holds the flowing Ganges River and a falcate moon,

a serpent coiled around his neck, a „trishul‟ in his one hand and ashes all over his body. Shiva is the

only godhead who is forever in deep meditation, totally absorbed in contemplation in His abode,

Kailaasa mountain in the great Himalaya.

The Lord's characteristic represents his victory over the evil activity, and calmness of human

nature. He is known as the "giver" god. His vehicle is a bull (symbol of happiness and strength)

named Nandi. Lord Shiva is the one who helps us to overcome the difficult phases of life.

Trayambakkam refers to the three eyes of Lord Shiva. He is also called Tryambaka Deva (literally,

"three-eyed Lord"), is depicted as having three eyes: the sun is His right eye, the moon the left eye

and fire the third eye. The two eyes on the right and left indicate His activity in the physical world.

The third eye in the center of the forehead symbolizes spiritual knowledge and power, and is thus

called the eye of wisdom or knowledge. Like fire, the powerful gaze of Shiva's third eye destroys

evil, and thus the person who has evil intention fears His third eye.. These three eyes of

enlightment are the Trimurti or three primary deities namely, Brahma (omniscient), Vishnu

(omnipresent) and Shiva (Omnipotent).

We sing in praise to Lord Shiva whose fragrance is always spreading around. He is the sustainer of

this world. Therefore when we are bound by some deadly disease then we should bow our head and

pray to him to bring us out from the deadly disease and also from the cycle of re-birth.

Based on the teachings of Sri Harihara in Prasna Marga, The Maha Mritunjai mantra should be

recited 8000 times in a period of forty days. The recitation of 108 mantra for forty days both in the

morning and evening covers this requirement. Maha Mruthyunjaya Homam is dedicated to Lord

Shiva to avoid untimely death. The Mruthyunjaya Homam is performed to achieve Jaya or Victory

over Mritya or death. The object of worship of this homa is Lord Shiva. One of the synonyms of

Lord Shiva is Mrityu. Mrityu which means death of the death or the destroyer of death. During this

homa one chants 21 mantras. The prominent offerings in this homa are durva grass and an herb

called amrita. The former is famous for purifying blood and the latter is used as a medicine for

incurable diseases like arbuda or cancer. Since these are used as offerings in this homa, it is

believed that this homam bestows longevity on the performer. The hymns are devoted to Mrityu,

the God of death, praying for long life. These hymns are used in the purnahuti or the final offering

in the famous Soma sacrifice. This homa also alleviates Mrityu dosha or premature death.

Shiva sitting in the cremation ground signifies that He is the controller of death in the physical

world. Since birth and death are cyclic, controlling one implies controlling the other. Lord Shiva is

honored as the ultimate controller of birth and death in this unique world. Thus, to relieve our self

from uncertain death and lead a good and healthy life it is important that we perform the Maha

Mritunjai Yagna.

"People who are going through some unforeseen

circumstances for example if he/she is going through a chronic health problem or some legal

problem can perform this yajna. This yagna is done according to the intensity of the problem. An

astrologer advises the person to do a jaap (chanting within oneself) according to the seriousness of

the situation."

According to a legend, Adi Sankara recited the slokas addressing Goddess Lakshmi. Sankara lost

his father when quite young, and his mother performed his upanayana ceremonies with the help of

her relatives. Sankara excelled in all branches of traditional vedic learning. A few miracles are

reported about the young Sankara. As a brahmachari, he went about collecting alms from families

in the village. A lady who was herself extremely poor, but did not want to send away the boy

empty-handed, gave him the last piece of Amla fruit she had at home. Sankara, sensing the abject

poverty of the lady, composed a hymn (Kanakadhara Stavam) to Sri, the goddess of wealth, right at

her doorstep. As a result, a shower of golden Amlas rewarded the lady for her goodness. On

another occasion, Sankara is said to have re-routed the course of the Poorna River, so that his old

mother would not have to walk a long distance to the river. When he visited a house of a poor

family, they only had gooseberries to offer him. As he completed the slokas, there was a rain of

golden gooseberries.

A person who wants immediate relief from financial problem can perform this yajna. If he is under

some debt or his capital has been blocked or his dues are not getting cleared to some reason then

he/she can perform a Kanakdhara yagna.

It is the desire of every human being to have a child in his or her life. A woman longs for a child

after she is married but due to some circumstances she might not be able to do so…during such

time instead of losing hope one should not only try scientific measures but also pray to god

sincerely. It is said that if we pray to Shri Krishna with sincere heart then he does bless the couple

with a child.

Birth of a child is the greatest happiness for any parent. This is the kind of happiness, which every

one wants in any form on this earth, but sometimes-adverse situation arises where due to some

reasons folks do not bless with this happiness or baby met with a death after birth. Blessings for

Parenthood is the general objective of all those who marry and certainly blessings for a healthy

progeny in particular are always asked from the Almighty. According to ancient Hindu Vedas it is

actually one of the most ancient and fundamental purpose of a human life to bear an offspring and

experience the elation of actually „giving life‟ to a new human being who would emulate each

single nuance of a parent and thus the eternal cycle of life would ceaselessly continue thereafter.

Even when everything is fine, a woman may not be able to

bear a child and medical treatments for both the parents may be necessary. During such situation

there is no doubt that they will be going through a bad stage .It is the desire of every married

woman to have a child of her own in such cases we could go ahead and perform a Santan Gopal

Yagna which would benefit the mother.

Vedic Harbal Treatment

Charaka who wrote the ancient treatise on Ayurveda called "Charaka Samhita" and also Buddha's

physician demonstrated that there is no substance in the planet world, which has no medicinal value,

provided one must know how to use it and for what ailments or deficiencies. About six hundred

different medicinal plants are mentioned in the ancient Ayurveda texts.

Plants have played an important part in Indian society. The study of Indian plants cannot be limited to

an examination of their therapeutic properties alone, but a holistic approach must be taken to

understand their significance in the entire spectra of Indian culture.

There is a renewed interest in the Western world especially in USA to study the ancient plants and their

medicinal and therapeutic properties in ancient civilizations and societies in India, China and Africa.

Multinational pharmaceutical companies are rushing to patent plants and their therapeutic use, which

have been traditionally used in India. There is a movement emerging in all these countries including

India to protect the rich bio diversity against excessive deforestation.

There is a need to increase our own awareness and knowledge about our own herbal treasures and

heritage.

Vedic Herbal Remedies also involve use of herbs, which ensures the positive influence of a particular

planet. We are giving below a brief description of such practice for each planet.

Sun

Solar energy is increased

by taking spicy and fiery

herbs, like cayenne, black

pepper, dry ginger, long

pepper, cardamom,

saffron, calamus, bayberry

and cinnmon (specially the

Ayurvedic formula Trikatu).

Calamus is best for the

sattvic side of solar energy

in the mind. Aromatic oils

and fragrances for the Sun

are camphor, cinnamon,

eucalyptus, saffron - most

warm and stimulating oils.

Moon

Good herbs for the Moon are

demulcent and tonic herbs like

marshmallow, slippery elm,

comfrey root, Solomon's seal,

Shatavari, white musali, bala

and rehmannia particularly

taken in milk decoctions.

Fragrance of white flowers like

jasmine, gardenia, lotus and lily

are good as is sandalwood oil.

These can be applied to the

heart or to the third eye.

Mars

Most of the spices that are

good for the Sun work well for

Mars (like cinnamon, saffron,

cayenne or black pepper) but

combined with tonics like

ginseng, astragalus,

ashwagandha, guggul or myrrh.

Turmeric, garlic, onions and

asafetida can be very good

(particularly the Ayurvedic

formula Hingashatak). When

Mars is strong, however, we

need bitter herbs like aloe,

gentian, golden seal and

Echinacea.

Mercury

Good herbs for Mercury

are nerviness like gotu

kola, bhringaraj (eclipta),

skullcap, passionflower,

betony, jatamansi,

zizyphus, camomile, mint

and sage. Basil, particularly

Jupiter

Jupiter energy is increased by

tonic herbs like ashwagandha,

bala, licorice, ginseng and

astragalus particularly as taken

in milk decoctions, with ghee

(clarifies butter) or a herb

jellies. Good foods for

Venus

Venus likes all flowers and

sweet fragrances: rose, saffron,

jasmine, lotus, lily and iris.

Others good herbs are tonics

like shatavari, white musali,

amalaki, aloe gel, rehmannia

dang gui and red raspberry.

holy basil (tulsi) is specific

for Mercury (Vishnu). Good

oils and aromas are mint,

wintergreen, eucalyptus,

cedar, thyme and sage,

which clear and open the

mind. Yet they should be

balanced with mindcalming

oils like

sandalwood, plumeria

(frangipani) and lotus.

increasing Jupiter energy are

nuts like almonds, walnuts,

cashews and sesame seeds and

oils like ghee, sesame and

almond.

Saturn

Good herbs for a weak

Saturn are myrrh,

frankincense, guggul,

ashwagandha, shilajit,

haritaki and comfrey root -

herbs to strengthen the

bones and promote

healing. The Ayurvedic

formula Triphala is specific

for Saturn, as it cleanses all

waste materials and also

tonifies the deeper tissues.

Good aromas for Saturn

are sandalwood,

frankincense, cedar and

juniper, much like the

herbs.

Rahu

Rahu is very subtle force and

cannot be dealt with on a

simple outer level. Aromas for

clearing the psychic air can be

helpful like camphor, bayberry,

sage, eucalyptus or wintergreen

as can calming fragrances like

sandalwood, lotus and

frankincense. Calamus is the

best herb for Rahu.

Ketu

Ketu, like Rahu, is subtle.

Herbs to increase perception

like sage, calamus, bayberry,

wild ginger and juniper may

be useful. Penetrating

aromatic oils like camphor,

cedar, myrrh and

frankincense can be good.

Afflictions of a strong Ketu,

however, required cooling

nerviness like gotu kola,

bhringaraj, skullcap and

passion flower.
