Dear Visti,

Did you have a third part on remedies for the Badhak? Just checking because it is not here.

Best wishes,

Anurag.

Sharat Says:


||Hare Ram Krishna||

Dear Visti,

Namaskar,

In KSY/KAY, this needs to be remedied first. However, if there are curses as well, will they also

need remedy? If so then will they need remedy only after KSY/KAY has been broken successfully.

Regards

Sharat

हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Anurag and Sharat, Namaskar.

We will delay the badhakesh lecture until the next Sunday. After those two lectures i was

completely drained for energy.

The beauty of Kala Sarpa/Amrita Yoga is once you break it with a suitable remedy that

remedy actually acts as a new controlling factor in the chart. I.e. if you break it through

Kamalatmika sadhana suddenly the entire yoga becomes a Kamalatmika yoga instead and the

entire life heads in that direction. As a result you rarely have to give any remedy for curses or

anything like that… neat eh?

Yours sincerley, Visti.

हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Chandra, Namaskar

Such cases are very difficult to remedy but they all involve the strengthening of Guru in the

persons chart. In your daughters chart its apparent that the affliction to lagnesh and Guru is the

problem and whilst I cannot personally give such a remedy I would advise you to make it a

life’s goal to seek out a priest who can give you or your daughter a Tara Mantra for her well

being.

To start you can try to teach her this mantra: Hreem Streem Hum Phat. Just try.

Yours sincerely, Visti Larsen.

Dear Visti,

Your lecture on remedies is very inspiring, particularly when you explained the implications of a

KSY and KAY. The approach of remedies in both the cases are very logical and inspiring.

I have a doubt : If the KSY and KAY happen in the D-charts, do the same principles get applied ?

In the case of female : 18-08-1978, 0326Hrs IST, Allahabad, India; the KAY forms in 2/8 axix.

Moon joins Ketu and Lagna joins with exalted Jupiter. Since, KAY forms in D-9, does that mean

that the marital life is a burden to her ? In order to break the yoga, Can she resort herself with the

mahavidya worship of Jupiter or by the mahavidya worship of Moon through somebody, say

parents.

Kindly guide me and oblige.

Thanks,

Vijay Kumar

Visti Larsen Says:


हरे राम कृ�ण॥Hi Vijay, Namaskar.

Rasi is the most important. Without the rasi we cannot even step into the higher divisions… if

the door is locked we cannot enter the house, let alone the bathroom.

So we need to solve the issue in the Rasi first. The yoga forming in higher divisions do show

problems arising, but its the rasi which is the key to this.

Prefer the planet in lagna if possible and ask her to wear a yellow sapphire or yellow topaz

after having a priest perform Jeeva Nyasa to the ring (to protect the health) and letting her start

wear it on a thursday morning.

Yours sincerely, Visti.

Visti ji, I am listening to your lesson on curses. My dob is January 19, 1951, POB is Hubli

Karnataka, India

TOB is 10:10 am.

besides the Gayatri japa do I do anything else?

You mentioned that I have a curse of brahmin. my venus is also conjunct with sun. is that the

reason for my marriage not lasting?

should I wear a yellow sapphire? or I have been advised to wear blue sapphire.

Bharat Says:

Namaskar Visti ji, I have listened your lecture on kalasarpa and tried to match it with my horoscope.

I have ketu in my lagna which is aquarius and rah is with sat in leo. My jupiter is in 6th house in

cancer along with mer and My venus is along with sun in 5th house in gemini. How would i decide

which mahavidya is good for me. The first two points as said by you match the horoscope i.e

planets in lagna and planets together with one of the nodes. If i am not wrong my Jup is in 6th house

which is not a good house and my venus is 15 deg from sun which nearly makes it to combustion.

10.


3 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

Please advice which one is good. And where can i get the mantras for these 9 mahavidyas.

Vijay Kumar Says:


Dear Visti,

Continuining on my doubt…

Thanks for your reply. I do appreciate the fact that the KSY/KAY, if gets formed in the natal chart,

then it should be broaken as the natal chart is the chart of prarabdha with which we are born.

But my doubt was, if there is no KSY/KAY in D-1, but that happens in some D-charts, what should

be interpreted and what should be done ?

In the example given, D-1 does not have any KSY/KAY but D-9 has. In this situation, what are the

implications and what should be done to break it ?

Your kind guidance is requested.

हरे राम कृ�ण॥Hi Asha and Bharat, Namaskar.

Asha

I don’t believe your marriage suffered due to the curse, rather weaknesses were the cause of

this.

Gayatri mantra is the key for you, and further being of service to elders, priests and offering

support to children is important as this is a curse of Brahmin. Specifically installing a Shiva

Linga in a temple is the best remedy I can advise for you for a Brahmin Shaapa in Lagna.

Bharat

The mind is very important for Mahavidya selection and we should prefer that graha who is

best placed from the Moon.

Here the selection methodology is closely linked to the chandra yogas.

1. See which planets are lording the Moons sign.

2. See which are joining the 1st, 7th, 2nd, 12th, 6th or 8th from the Moon sign.

Among these you must choose the Mahavidya… So where is your Moon from Jupiter and

Venus?

As for mantras, some authors of SJC have published some mantras for Kali and Tara on their

websites, but their sites seem to be very moody which makes the mantras unavailable. But, it

should be born in mind that the BEST way to receive a mantra is from a person who is a

Mahavidya Sadhaka. Otherwise start with the Nama-mantra for the mahavidya, i.e. “Om

(name) Namah”. Later the Mother will lead you to a propper sadhaka. Keep in mind the

restrictions i mentioned in the lecture.


Visti Larsen Says:

March 15th, 2007 at 10:23 am

हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Vijay and Sanjeev, Namaskar.

Vijay

In such cases we will advise very simple advise such as wearing a gemstone or associating with

a certain person to ensure the best results. Admittedly the KSY/KAY in say Navamsa is quite

important as it can show problems in getting married. A simple remedy such as visiting the

Shankaracharya or a Guru of high stature and asking for the blessing to get married would

suffice.

Sanjeev

I do not wanto encourage people to use the discussion boards to ask for chart readings, instead

i would refer them to my consultations-page for this.

Nevertheless, I would say that the placement of Ketu in the fifth and aspected by Rahu and

Mars is a reason for concern. Mainly because this is a curse of Sadhu and it can block your

progress in your profession (ketu in fifth and rahu in tenth from Moon) and give worries

related to children (fifth house).

To time exactly when this would be prominent we would need to rectify the D60 chart, but

with the current time Jupiters placement in the D60 can give the issues from 1998 onwards.

14.


5 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

This is subject to change based on the D60.

I would give two remedies in such a case.

1. Worship Ganesha always. Ganesha will help you progress in your profession and life and

this is important when planets are in the fifth house, otherwise the punya gets delayed. This is

to be begun from a Wednesday morning.

2. The Vishnu Gayatri is the way out of the curse. The mantra is from the Rg Veda and begins

with: “Tad Vishno Paramam Padam…”. This should be begun from a Thursday morning.

I hope this helps.


Vijay Kumar Says:


Dear Visti,

Many thanks for clearing my doubts. I have 2 more doubts as follows :

01.

You mentioned to Bharat that Om (name) Namah may be the starting point of any mahavidya

worship, if we don’t have any sadhaka at hand to give the mantra. Since, mantras are very sensitive,

will it be possible to indicate names to be used in this mantra for all das-mahavidyas for general

guidance to all the readers.

Though, it is too much to bother you, but this being a sensitive point, it does require your approval.

Example, For Kamalatimaka, we might say Kamlatimaka/Kamlatmike/Kamala etc. Pl pardon me for

my ignorance on this point and guide.

02.

You mentioned in your lecture that Namahshivaya mantra is different than Shivaynamah. How is it

different in its plane where it works ?

Thanks,

Vijay Kumar

15.

Bharat Says:


Visti ji, My moon is in saggitarius so it makes venus to be 7th from moon and jupiter to be 8th from

moon. I read one of your other posts where the difference is stated between sarpa and amrita. I

guess mine is kalamrita yoga.

my birth chart is

lagna + Ketu - Aquarius

mar - taurus

sun + ven - Gemini

Jup + Mer - Cancer

Sat + Rah - Leo

Moon - Saggitarius

Sincerely, Bharat

हरे राम कृ�णDear Bharat,

Namaskar,

If I can help you here:

Mo being in Sagg, with Aqu lagna, means that it is not KAY/KSY at all,as Moon is not between

Ra/Ke axis.

Rather there is Grah Mallika Yog, which is not so much restrictive as KSY, however complete birth

details will be helpful.

To understand about KSY/KAY, please read Visti’s book or read the following link where Visti and

I have discussed about it: http://www.srigaruda.com/books/

Hope this helps

Regards

Sharat

Bharat Says:


Sharat ji, Thank you for pointing out the GMY. Basically i am a beginner and still experiencing

things. My DOB 09-07-1979, 22:00 Hrs IST, Loharu, India. I am not sure but i was very curious to

remedy it as none of my plans are working. Everything comes to 70% and cannot move any

forward. It looks as if all doors are closed for whatever i plan after 70% of work. Where can i get

more information about GMY.

18.

Sharat Says:


Hare Ram Krishna

Dear Bharat,

Namaskar,

This is Grah Mallika yoga where 8 planets( Moon is left out) are all lined up in a restrictive serp like

yog. This effects all the starts you make as the ‘end of the yoga’is in 7H with Sun conjunct with

Rahu and this blocks all your results from fructifying.

With Ketu in lagna,Ganesh worship is a must to begin with and then do worship of Shiva form as

Lord Daskshinamurty.

Visti will correct me if I am wrong as I too have been learning from him and Sanjay ji’s teachings.

Hope this helps

Regards

Sharat

19.

Bharat Says:


Thank you sharat ji for your points. I guess the curse on top of GMY is making things really hard.

Visti ji, Namaskar

Can you please help me out in unlocking this grah mallika yoga. Is there any lecture of yours on

grah mallika yoga where i can understand more about it.

Sincerely, Bharat

Tarun Garg Says:


Respected Visti Ji

Just a comment for the Horoscope of Asha Ji, above. Just happened to notice that sun is in MKS

and there are three malefics aspecting the bhava Leo and that is the 7th house. from 1973 to 1984

Leo and capricorn dasas ran in sucession and i believe the native could have seen some suffering

related to that 7th house.

Visti ji, Since 7th lord is in MKS and also in 12th house we could not help there, Also Ve the karaka

for the 7th house is cojoined in the 12th house and that cant be used, so do you think that tatwa

level Luxmi worship should be advised in this case.

Regards

Tarun

21.

Visti Larsen Says:


हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Vijay, Bharat and Sharat Namaskar.

Vijay

The names I gave in the recording are specific to this. In fact when I answered the question on

the list I thought I was repeating myself. Go through the recording again.

Bharat and Sharat

Graha Malika Yoga does occur and both the starting and ending points are important. Here

they are both kendras which show good results, but we see that the ending point in the seventh

house is formed by Rahu and Saturn and this in turn causes a very strong Sarpa Yoga… Bharat

has very big dreams!.. and they are not easy to satisfy even after all the hard work. As a result

there is a risk of Bharat going out of his way to attain something which will end up giving him a

dent on his reputation as this yoga happens in the tenth from arudha lagna. So this should be

the warning.

Now, the dispositor of this yoga is the Sun and he is the Atmakaraka in the fifth house. The

remedy is to meditate and pray to Shiva through which he will attain his desire. So put a

picture of Shiva with his wife in front of you and worship him with the panchakshari mantra.

This should do the trick.

Yes Sharat, this will also remedy the curse, and you must keep in mind that Sun is AK in the

fifth house and hence the specific remedy for panchakshari, shiva, etc.


22.

Visti Larsen Says:


हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Tarun, Namaskar.

For MKS we advise the aditya of the karaka of the house wherein the MKS happens. I.e. for

Sun in twelfth it should be Varuna-aditya.

23.


8 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

Rest looks good. Nice interpretation.


Bharat Says:


Thank you visti ji. I shall go by your suggestion. I will do the panchakshari mantra to please lord

shiva. I hope the mantra “Om hrim namah shivaya” guides me further. I want to make use of the

eclipse so is it good if i keep on chanting during the complete eclipse period and a count of

108/1008 times a day.

Sincerely

Bharat

Namaste Vistiji:

My friend has a son who is schizophrenic. His is not quite a Kal Sarpa Yoga since Saturn is outside

of the Rahu/Ketu axis. However, Venus is lagna lord and debillitated in 12th house and hemmed in

by Sun and Mars and then Parivartana yoga with 12th lord in 1st house with Ketu.

Can you kindly suggest some remedy? I’m thinking that the Venus should be strengthened - yes?

Place: Long Beach, CA USA

Thank you for your suggestions.

Namaskar,

25.

Visti Larsen Says:


हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Jill, Namaskar

So far the best class or workshop on remedies that I can recommend is the JEEVA course

(http://www.jiva.us/) which is taught by Pt. Sanjay Rath.

Otherwise I will be teaching what has been personally taught to me by Sanjayji through the

tradition.

In the chart you gave there need not be a kala sarpa/amrita yoga to cause the particular

problem. In fact if you see that same Venus that you mentioned, its junction with Sun and

ASPECT of retrograde Saturn makes up for a tough curse of spouse to experience.

The remedy is as you have said through the placement of Venus. Here Mercury is the

dispositor in the lagna and hence we can advise worship of Sri Vyasadeva.

If you see this site: http://srijagannath.org/spirit/mrtyunjaya.htm

You will find such an appropriate mantra for Vyasadeva who will bless the native and child

with good health and intelligence. But, that retrograde Saturn is a tough cookie to crack I must

admit. Such curses don’t go away, but they can be minimized.

I hope this helps.

Tarun Garg Says:


Respected Guru Ji

Thanks for that tip on MKS remedy. So the Aditya mantra would be om ghrinih varunaditya or Om

ghrini Varunaya namah? Also another aspect of the remedies that i would like to understand is that

what remedy to give if the planet is debilitated in the chart,

Also I present here a case study on the remedies that were prescribed to a native by Nadi readers in

hyderabad. Those remedies have wonderfully worked for the native. maybe there is some learnings

from the same.

I would like to have comments from you on the same.

birth details

5 Nov 1974, 18:07:03, Ludhiana India.

Taurus Lagna and sun debilitated in the 6th house. The natives mother has constat problems with

high blood pressure . Also her domestic happiness has constant issues. Venus is in MKS in the 6th

house and the native suffered a terrible accident in 1986. (Li Mahadasa. Taurus Antardasa gave the

accident Ma is cursing planet and 12th lord (Hospitalization), She was in terrible state all along the

Ta antardasa plastered to almost the complete body all from belly down. There was little hope that

she could walk again ever. Somehow Jupiter in 10th house is aspecting and due to her father’s

efforts and constant fighting she recovered and was able to come to normal state. Thankfully

enough the phase has passed. Also notice that Me the 5th lord joins the curse and there is a

secondary curse on him too. The native could not beget a child even after 8 years of marriage

mainly because of initimacy issues with the spouse curse on venus and 12th/7th (Ma) lord joins the

curse.

Now the native went to Nadi reader in Hyderabad and they advised the following remedies.

1. On sankat Chauth (Chaturthi) she was advised to go to Ganesh Temple and do 5 kinds of

abhishekam coconut milk, honey, sandal, ghee and milk. archana with 5 lamps. 32 times parikrama.

same day donate books and clothes and sweets to a child below 10years ( curse of mercury?).

2. 10th day from amavasya( That means Dasmi) archana of a tulsi Mala to Vishnu Temple.

(Mercury?) but why the tithi of Dasmi?

3. shani abhiskam on saturday with coconut milk, til oil, and milk. 8 parikramas. Sani is afflicting

the moon. So i think that could be reason for that. And also Sani is Karaka for the 6th house where

the curse is.

This is the most wierd one and I cant figure that one out.

4. On 11 sundays consecutively go to a Durga Temple in rahu Kalam and offer a Garland of 32

lemons. Light 11 lamps and do the parikrama 11 times. Also light lamps to the Navagraha after

doing this pooja and Parikrama.

I could not understand that one. Rahu is in Scorpio and as we prescribe the Kalachakra remedies we

would have asked for Durga worship on a Tuesday (Mars rules the Vara where rahu is placed), why

sunday? Clearly the remedy is for rahu’s affliction to the 7th house. Durga diety and also rahu

Kalam but the Vara of Sunday eludes me. are we missing something here?

And what could be the significance of the numbers in all these remedies.

32 parikramas of sri ganesha.

27.


10 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

11 Parikramas of Ma Durga with 11 lamps.

32 Lemons in the garland. That could be attributed to the 32 names of Ma durga. and lemons are

representing the heads (Mundas) thus we are worshipping Ma in the form of Chamundi I think in

this case.

I just thought that i would post this information that I have and that could help us do some more

research and knowledge of all.

Hope to hear your thoughts and comments on that

Your shishya

Tarun

Tarun Garg Says:


respected Guru Ji

Correction. the 10th day from the Amavasya does not equate to Dasami necessarily as the tithis can

be more than 1 day or less. so it seems that there is some other logic. 10th house lord is rahu and he

rules amavasya. And 10th karaka is Mercury and we are worshipping Vishnu with the tulsi Mala.

Could not think of anything else…

Waiting for your comments

Reema Sriganesh Says:


|| Hare Rama Krushna ||

Namaste Vistiji,

This was an excellent lecture and very timely, too! Can’t wait for

the lecture on Badhaka remedies.

I have one question regarding determination of the curse that would

end up giving most suffering. If in a chart we have two benefics which

are conjoined each other and are afflicted by two or more planets

then how do we determine which benefic will end up giving more

suffering to the native? For example, Jupiter and Venus conjoined

in a bhava and afflicted by graha drishti of Mars and Saturn. Here,

should we just assume that curse of Jupiter will act as primary curse and

will give more suffering given that Jupiter is a higher benefic?

Or should we take the longitude of the benefics into consideration to

determine which curse will end up giving the most suffering and

hence should be remedied first?

Thank you.

May Sri Vishnu bless us all,

Reema.

11 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

Dear Visti,

Thanks for giving a clear lecture on remedies. I have really learnt a lot.

I would like to get clarifications for a couple of questions that I have:

- While determining the intensity of a curse, do we consider the status of a

malefic causing the curse? For example, (dob:7-Sep-1958, tob:6-15am, pob: Bangalore),

Mars is involved in more than one curse. However, Mars is a yogakaraka sitting in

a Kendra and exalted in Navamsa. My question is, whether mars is till should

be considered as contributing the curse?

- Should we look at the proxymity of planets when in same Rasi. In the above

example thous Mars and Moon are in same Rasi, they are more than 20 degrees

away. Is the curse as severe as say when they are less than 12 degrees apart?

Looking for your answers.

Thanks,

Krishna

Shishya Dheena Says:


Dear Reema Ji,Namaskar.

With the permission of Guru Ji let me pen down the information for your clarification request. As

per Guru Ji’s dictum first you have to consider the order of benefic planets only. The primary curse

will be from the most benefic as you have written. At the same time we have to use our intuition (to

me it is Guru Ji’s blessings) to arrive at correct conclusion as it was discussed in the case of Hitler’s

chart. Priest was hurt and his wife cursed, this way the main curse due priest was triggered by

wife’s sapa.

With respects to Guru ji.

Sincerely, S.Dheenadayalan

Sanjeev Says:

Dear Visti ji,

In your lecture on Remedies for Curses I need the following clarifications :

A)Guru of the lord of the sign in which curse is

A.1)What is the Vaishnav Guru, other than Dattatreya for Mercury ?

A.2)What is the Guru for Jupiter ?

A.3)What are the 9 Mahavidyas and how do we arrive at them for Moon ?

A.4)What are the 4 Vedamurtis and how do we arrive at them for Ketu ?

B)What is the Pratyadidevta for Saturn ?

C)Is the Dev for Lagna the Gayatri that we know of ? You mentioned Bramha Gayatri - what is that

?

D)What is Vishnu Gayatri Mantra ?

E) Are there various Gauatri mantras ? How many ? What are they ?

Sorry to put so many questions but I believe if I get the answers of all these, my understanding for

Curses and Remedy would be fucntional. I am marching ahead fast to accept you as my Guru.

12 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

With Rahu and Ketu always opposite to each other,

the chances of them getting cursed is always higher than

other planets. Are Ketu and Rahu curses more commonly seen ?

Sharat Says:

March 19th, 2007 at 10:56 pm

Hare Ram Krishna

Dear Sanjeev,

Namaskar,

If I may answer your Qs and I am sure Guru Visti will correct me.

A.Guru of the Lord of the sign is chosen as per the scheme already given

by Visti. It may not be the sign where the curse is, if its lord is also

involved in the curse.

A1.Guru Vyasdeva

A2.Guru Brihaspati

A3.You need to read about the Mahavidyas from VRA by Guru Sanjay Rath

and his paper on the same which is in the files section of the Sohamsa

Group. This forum will not be appropriate to write about their details.

A4.A discussion on Vedmurti is on this website, if you browse the

articles section

B.Lord Narayana

C.Dharma Gayatri, refers to the Vishnu avtar- Vamana, Ref to Rig Veda

1.22.18

D.Vishnu Gayatri is from Rig Veda 1.22.20. Please refer to it.

Both above Gayatri’s can be easily seen from Rig Veda and I would need

Visti’s permission for the same to be listed on public forum as I

know he prefers not to do the same.

E.There are many Gayatri chhandas, please refer to VRA if you are keen

to learn some more.

All the best.

OM NAMAH SHIVAAYA

Dear Guru ji, Namaskar

Dear Sharat ji with Guru JI’s permission let me pen down as I have learned the Priatyadidevata for

Saturn is Kalagni.

A4)ctoe] Regarding Gayatri, my personal feeling in expressing our thoughts should be in a simpler

way as Guru ji and Parama Guru Ji do.

My understanding is as follows:

b) Gayatri is not the name of any mantra. Gayatri is Chanda. Savitur Mantra in Gayatri Chanda is

36.


13 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

generally known as Gayatri mantra and all the mantras in Gayatri Chanda is called as Gayatri

mantra of respective deities.

The term respective deities means, Almost all deities have Gayatri mantra, means too many

Gayatri..

c) To my novice knowledge if Savitur mantra is recited in gayatri chand just before Sun rise it is

Bramha Gayatri, if at noon Vishnu Gayatri, at Sunset SivaGayatri and at mid night Kali Gayatri.

This is like the same person known as father to his children, son to his father, Husband to his wife

and brother to his co-born.

With respects to Guru Ji.

Sanjeev Says:


Dear Sisya dheena ji, Namaskar.

Thanks for your views.

I think what Guruji said in his lecture for

Pratyadideve for Saturn was - Visnhu-Narain -

Mercury is more of Vishnu and Saturn is more of Narayan and so what

Sharat ji wrote is apt as per Parashar listing.

Your views on Gayatri is interesting, conceptually.

Sharat Says:


Hare Ram Krishna

Dear Dheena,

I understand what you are saying about the Gaytari chanting as per the

Sun position, which is right.

I have mentioned the specific gayatri chhandas of Vishnuji, as they are

chanted for specific purpose of Vishnu worship.

Regarding Pratyadi devta for Saturn, I have read/heard differing names:

Sanjay ji specifically mentions Lord Brahma Prajapati, Visti has mentioned

Narayana,and one of Rafal’s papers mentions Kalagni/Kali as well.

Sanjay ji also mentions Indra as Pratyadi devta for Shukra,while Laxmi

is mentioned by others and for Mars he mentions Aditya.

Perhaps Guru Visti will clarify and may be we can have an updated list

of Adi and Pratyadi devtas.

हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Tarun, Reema, Krishna, Namaskar

Tarun

I didn’t forget you. Its an excellent case study of which EXACT remedy to give for certain

afflictions. I will be answering this query in detail soon.

Reema

Keep in mind that no matter which of the two planets is more afflicted, the remedy would stay

the same.

Krishna

Yes we do consider the status of the malefic planet. It will tell us exactly how bad the curse

will be. Take Sri Ramas chart and you will see how an exalted yogakaraka Mars in his curse

made him go to war for his wife.


Visti Larsen Says:


हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Sanjeev, Sharat and Dheena, Namaskar

Here are my answers and commentary on the same.

A)Guru of the lord of the sign in which curse is

A.1)What is the Vaishnav Guru, other than Dattatreya for Mercury ?

Answer: Vyasa is commonly accepted.

A.2)What is the Guru for Jupiter ?

Answer: Brhaspati. I believe i have mentioned these by name in the recording.

A.3)What are the 9 Mahavidyas and how do we arrive at them for Moon ?

Answer: I have also mentioned these in the recording. Here i will mention them with the names

one can do Nama japa of. Beginning from the Sun and ending with Ketu they are:

Matangi, Bhuvanesvari, Bagaladevi, Parasundari (Tripurasundari or Shodasi are other forms),

Tara, Kamalatmika, Dakshniakali (Kali), Chinnamasta and Dhoomavati

A.4)What are the 4 Vedamurtis and how do we arrive at them for Ketu ?

Answer: There are infact five vedamurtis where the fifth one is Sarvaveda, i.e. all the vedas.

Based on the tatva of the planet Ketu is joined, or if none then the sign placement the murtis

are:

Agni: Hanumukha (Atharvaveda - Hanuman)

Vayu: Hayamukha (Yajurveda - Hayagreeva)

Akasha: Gajamukha (Sarvaveda - Ganesha)

Prthvi: Ajamukha (Samaveda - Shiva as Ajaikapada)

Jala: Nandimukha or Gomukha (Rgveda - Nandi, the one who upholds Dharma/Shiva)

B)What is the Pratyadidevta for Saturn ?

40.


15 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

Answer: Pt. Sanjay Rath presented during the Delhi ‘06 conference that Kalagni is the

Prayadidevata whilst Brahmaa is the Adhidevata. This is fully acceptable and this is why

Rudra worship is advised for Saturn at time, especially in matters of health. Brahmaa (note

long ‘a’ is Prajapati Brahmaa whereas short ‘a’ refers to the Brahman or actual creator of

Brahmaa) as Prajapati is the Adhidevata of Saturn and this is also what Parasara says.

However, Parasara advises us to worship Saturn as Narayana/Vishnu and when in doubt we

should follow the advise of Parasara and Jaimini who both ask us to worship Narayana to

appease Saturn. For appeasing of Saturn in curses i advise Narayana.

C)Is the Dev for Lagna the Gayatri that we know of ? You mentioned Bramha Gayatri - what

is that ?

Answer: Brahma Gayatri is the mantra given at the Upanayana ceremony. Gayatri itself is a

rhythm/chandah and there are many mantras in this chandah. Take ‘Om Namo Narayanaya’..

its in Gayatri Chandah.

Also Gayatri refers to the four gandas or junctions of the day, namely sunrise, midday, sunset

and midnight. It is said that worship during these times give us a direct link/connection with

God and are very auspicious time to worship, but inauspicious to start new activities as they

are times of transformation.

The Savitur Gayatri is NEVER recited at night and this is forbidden. However the three

sandhyas of sunrise, midday and sunset are the times for the sandhyavandana which is

performed by those who have received the sacred thread… Atleast this is when they are

supposed to do it.

D)What is Vishnu Gayatri Mantra ?

Answer: read Rgveda. Sharat has also given a few options from the same.

E) Are there various Gauatri mantras ? How many ? What are they ?

Sorry to put so many questions but I believe if I get the answers of all these, my understanding

for Curses and Remedy would be functional. I am marching ahead fast to accept you as my

Guru.

Answer: No marching here, we need ahimsa (non violence) to learn the Veda and Jyotish is an

Anga of the same Veda (refer Prasna Marga). And anyway we have lots of time to learn.

As for Guru, I am a teacher of Sri Jagannath Center and am bound by my vicinity to accept

students. Select a Guru in your vicinity based on the list and location given at this site:

Dear Visti ji,

“Hare Rama Krishna”

“What a smooth lecture on kala sarpa/amrita yoga!” It gave a clear piture for beginner to grab the

concept.

Could you please shed some light on how the “kaala sarpa yoga” differs from the “sarpa yoga”.

From your lecture I got the understanding of “kalasarpa yoga” but about the “sarpa yoga” I read in

the book “Vedic Remedies” by Guru Sanjay Rath, that this yoga is caused by the placement of

malefics in kendras.

What will be the general effects of it and how to give remedies for it.

41.


16 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

Does it matter that one of the malefic is yogkarka or not?

In my own chart I do have 3 malefics in kendras,

Lagna is Tula with Rahu in it,

ke in 7th house,

Sat in 10th house,

Mo in 5th

Ju(R) in 6th,

Ma in 9th,

Su in 12th

Me(R) 12th

There is parivertana in 10th and 5th Lord i,e Mo and Sa.

Do you think that this parivertana to some extent modifies the

“sarpa yoga”.

Any suggestion for Remedies

With regards

Visti Larsen Says:

हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Sanjay Mehta, Namaskar

Sarpa Yoga causes intense desires and almost impossible dreams to fulfil if it is complete. It

also risks giving the person association with criminals and cruel people. For dual signs this can

give terrible handicaps if the lagna isn’t strong. Its not an easy yoga at all.

The lordship of these malefics in kendra show WHAT is the purpose of the ’sarpa’… i.e. is it

to bring money, wealth, etc.

The relieving factor is a benefic in kendra who should be strengthened/worshiped. If none then

there is a Dattatreya mantra advised to protect the native. Parivartana and other yogas will

always modify the yogas but its still sarpa yoga.

My advise is to you is to recite the Dattatreya Raksha mantra given in Vedic Remedies in

Astrology .

your case our name is of 3 aksharas bh - ra - ta/ Ta ru na and that make s 3 + 5(from the mantra) =

Dear Visti,

I have come across a case of KSY : Male : 18-6-1977, 0815 Hrs IST, Bombay (18N58, 72E50).

This person has continued losses in business which he is doing with his father. He is yet un-married,

far from any settlement.

KSY yoga exist in the chart involving 3/9th house with Saturn in Lagna, Jupiter in 11th house

(badhaka house) and Venus in 10H. There is a noticeable kalatrashapa built by the association of

Mars and Saturn in 10th house.

I feel that due to Kalatra shapa, the marriage is eluding. Since, this shrapa happens in 10th house,

profession is on toss. On the top of it the cursed planet Venus is debilitated both in D-9 and D-10.

Thus, I feel this person is handicapped in both areas of profession and marriage mainly due to this

curse.

How to proceed to break this KSY, more so when there is a significant curse as well. Should the

Saturn be propitiated as it associates with Lagna or Venus which is the most benefic planet placed

in Kendra (10th house) and visibly shows the problem areas in profession and marriage ?

Please help me to understand more on this chart, as I am not able to proceed further.

Thanks,

Vijay Kumar

Visti Larsen Says:

March 23rd, 2007 at 2:06 pm

हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Tarun and Vijay, Namaskar.

Tarun

You will also find in VRA that this doesn’t apply to Prasiddha mantras. Namah Shivaaya is a

prasiddha mantra.

Vijay

Now this is surely a predicament. He has Saturn on his lagna, aspecting arudha lagna and

upapada… a bachelor is born. Now because there are planets joining Upapada and Arudha

lagna, this should now have been a problem at all, yet because Saturn has had his dasa since

his 19th year of age and is still running we have a problem.

Now, if Venus is auspicious then marriage is supposed to happen between 12-32 years of age.

Here the Darakaraka (marriage/spouse) is in MKS (6th) from Venus, whilst the seventh lord

Saturn is in inimical house (4th-pachakadi sambandha) from Venus.

The next period is that from Jupiter from 33-50 years of age. Jupiter aspects the seventh, gives

argala to karaka Venus, labhaargala to seventh lord Saturn, but is placed in MKS (9th) from

49.


19 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

Darakaraka Rahu. This is an issue but hopefully Jupiters dristi on Rahu will lead towards

marriage.

To make Saturn auspicious advise him to go on pilgrimage (tenth house-upapada) to visit the

Shankaracharya (Guru/Surya removes all dosha from nodes and Saturn). Here he should ask

for the blessing to marry. In addition a Mantra for Sri Tara would help towards breaking the

Kala Sarpa Yoga.

Heres another example:

Date: July 3, 1958

Time: 9:33:40 am

Time Zone: 1:00:00 (East of GMT)

Place: 12 E 35′ 00″, 55 N 40′ 00″

In this chart the darakaraka is Mercury and Venus gives it Argala from the eleventh therefrom.

There are no inimical placements here. But the Argala of Venus is blocked by the Atmakaraka

(Jupiter) showing that some important life-experiences will make the person avoid marriage

between 12-32. The seventh lords are either Saturn or Rahu. Whilst Venus aspects Saturn by

graha dristi and promotes relationships during its period, Rahu is placed in MKS (6th) from

Venus. The native didn’t marry during the entire Venus naisargika dasa from 12-32 years of

age.

So why was Rahu more dominant than Saturn in such a case?.. look at the twelfth house and

tell me the answer.


Vijay Kumar Says:


Dear Visti,

Thanks for your illuminating reply. I have appreciated the use of naisargik dasha and pachakadi

sambandha.

In the example case, you asked, why Rahu was more dominant in denying the marriage. My feeling

is that out of Saturn and Rahu as 7th lord, Rahu falls in 7th to Upapada lagna, thus it became

dominant to block the marriege in addition to being in MKS from Venus (karaka). Am I on the right

track ?

May I examine the similar approach to examine the naisargik dasha on the chart details given by me

earlier at sl. No. 7 (18-08-1978, 0326Hrs IST, Allahabad).

In this chart, let me attempt to examine, if the native would marry in the naisargik dasha age of

12-32 years as follows.

01.

I observe that Saturn aspects by sign aspect to arudha (Aries), by graha and sign aspect to Upapada

(Libra) and confers argala to lagna. This is similar to the earlier case and can we say, that the

marriage is too difficult for her. However, Lagna is occupied by exalted Jupiter aspecting 7H.

Arudha lord is conjunct with Karaka-Venus which is Upapada lord as well, though weak by

debilitation.

With this, can we say that the marriage seems to be promised, though with difficulty.

02.

50.


20 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

There is no planet in 4th and 6th to Venus. Darakaraka-Sun gets placed in 12th house to Venus and

works as temporal karaka to Venus (though Sun is natural Vedhka to Venus as well ?). Similarly, 7th

lord Saturn also gets placed in 12th to Saturn thus acts as strong karaka.

With this intent, can we say that the native may get married in naisargik Venus dasha age of 12-32

years. Here, Saturn strongly

works as the karaka of Venus; gets conjunct with DK-Sun and gives argala to Lagna. Can we say

that Saturn bhukti in Venus dasha would get her married ?

03.

Doubts :

# What are the implications of Venus placed in MKS from AL ?

# What are the implications of 7th lord Saturn weak in Sun’s sign and inimical to Darakaraka-SUN ?

Would it work to deny the marriage ?

# How does Sun (DK also) behave in 12th house to Venus for marital matters ?

# In order to smoothen the marriage and life thereafter, what shoul be strengthened or propitiated ?

Thanks for your continued support.

Dear Vijay,

My apologies if I am seen to be intruding into your conversation with Visti.

My question is why must this jataka (18/08/1978, 0326 IST, Allahabad)force you so strongly to

search for the real truth that is hidden among the various dictums/principles of Jyotisa Shastra? You

have published extensively on Jaimini sutras in the Astrological Magazine, are quite learned to my

understanding and yet, in recent posts, it has always come back to this particular chart and the

many questions that remain unanswered. A look at this chart tells me that Guru is the 9th lord in

Karka lagna and thus the impact of father is very high indeed. Anyway, let me volunteer to answer

some of your questions on the analysis given by you in this forum.

01. Generally we look to see how well placed Venus or Jupiter is in navamsa when judging the

suitable naisargika dasa for marriage. In this chart, Shukra is in 12th to navamsa lagna (in MKS

from 7th house) while Guru is in navamsa lagna, that too vargottama. Thus, marriage appears more

likely in Guru naisargika dasa (32 - 50 years of age). Sarbani has done some research in this and

found that the antardasa of the DK often gives marriage so based on this research, I would say that

marriage is quite likely in Guru naisargika dasa - Sun antardasa. During this time, transit Guru is in

Meena rasi aspecting the 2nd from UL which further supports this observation.

02. Answered in 01 above.

03. From personal experience, I have seen that 7th lord Saturn in 2nd house (= second marriage)

gives two marriages provided that the second lord is weak. Here the saving grace is that Sun as the

second lord is strong in this chart.

To smoothen the marriage that is promised by Guru, it is essential to remedy first the patnishaapa in

the chart. I am sure that Visti should have pointed this out earlier and given remedies for the same.

After marriage, there’s nothing like the Satyanarayana vratam done every Pournimasya.

Dear Hari,

Thanks for your kind words. I do not have any experience in naisargik dasa delineation that is the

reason, I am learning it now. I do not think that repeating a chart for observations under new

principles does have a bar. We keep looking to our own charts all across our life and yet find it

showing a new flavour with the new principles at hand.

In case, if you find it handy, please refer me more sources to understand naisargik dasha. I am not

aware about Sarbani’s research on DK. Where do I find the link ?

I have my sincere thanks for your observations on this chart. If you have more to say on this chart

Speak as much as you like about the charts and all. People reading can only benefit and there

should be no restrictions to knowledge.

Hari

I have been taught this approach, reg. Navamsa as well from Freedom, but I have a very

stubborn approach to Jyotish, namely that if something as obvious as a delay in marriage is not

confirmed in the Rasi chart, then don’t look for the details in Navamsa. And Sanjayji has

supported this opinion and in Delhi 2005 he gave us some hints as to see which events will

happen early or late. Particularly for Naisargika Dasa he advised me to check the relationship

between Darakaraka and Venus for marriage in the dasa of Venus.

There is also a lot to study in this regard but essentially it deals with analyzing the 12th, 9th

and 7th houses besides the charakarakas and other relationships.

Vijay

Heres an interesting dictum: ANY planet obstructs marriage if placed in the twelfth house.

Now go through the Vara chakra lessons and learn how to remove this obstruction and which

planet will do it! Your answer will be there.


53.

Vijay Kumar Says:


Dear Visti,

Thanks for allowing me to deliberate and get nearer to the answer regarding the deadlock of

marriage fixation in the chart referred (18-08-1978, 0326 Hrs IST, Allahabad).

54.


22 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

Taking cue from the hint you have given, I find the following 2 combinations looking from

Upapada.

01.

Upapada lord Venus is placed in 12th house from it thus marriage gets blocked by Venus itself. If

this alone is considered than

Venus has no 6, subtracting from 9 gives me 3 meaning Jupiter.

Since, Jupiter is exalted in Lagna aspecting 7th and 9th house, is exalted in D-9 Lagna also; it may

indicate the remedy for removing the obstruction of marriage by correcting the negativities of

Venus.

02.

Venus, Mars and Rahu collectively fall in the 12th house from Upapada causing obsrtuction in

marriage. The planetary number totals to 6+9+4=19 which results to 1 after expunging the multiples

of 9. Subtracting this number from 9, I get 8 meaning Saturn which is the 7th lord itself.

However, I do not find Saturn to be very strongly placed in D-1, thus not sure if remedy lies here.

But, Saturn falls in 5th house from AK in D-9, thus Saturn may be resorted for worship and may be

more suitable as it falls from D-9 lagna as well.

Do you approve this finding or I am missing something yet more important !

Thus, with my limited awareness, I am able to rest upon Jupiter and/or Saturn to break the deadlock

in marriage fixation.

If worship of Jupiter/Saturn is the solution, how to approach the worship.

Your kind advice is requested.

Vijay Kumar

Vijay Kumar Says:


Typo to the message..54

The para towards the end reads like this :

Sanjay has written an article on naisargika dasa principles and its calculations and I have written an

article on the same with reference to Sri Lahiri Mahasaya’s chart. Both are published in the Jyotish

Digest but the article by Sanjay should be available in his website srath.com. The reference to

Sarbani’s research is from a personal conversation with her. The classical reference for naisargika

dasa is of course in Varahamihira’s Brihat Jataka. Bear in mind that the great Varahamihira used

only two dasas: Moola and naisargika dasa.

Visti,

In Singapore, Sanjay gave a masterclass on timing marriage using naisargika dasa. He took several

blind charts and always identified the correct dasa-antardasa in which the marriage happened. From

that class, I learnt that he always checks the relative position of Shukra/Guru in

navamsa…generally the charts taken by him were of cases where either Shukra or Guru was well

placed in navamsa. I didnt see any cases where both Guru and Venus were equally well-placed in

navamsa so it is quite possible that the rules you cite should apply here. And in my own experience,

I have always found this working well. And if there’s some delay indicated in the rasi chart, it

should show up in the navamsa.

Now to the clue you gave for Vijay: “Any planet placed in the twelfth house blocks marriage”. I

assume that you refer to the 12th house with respect to lagna…do you say this because the 12th

house has virodhargala on the 7th house? But then, 12th house is also the house of bed-pleasures so

its a upachaya for the 7th house. Which comes first?

And with reference to the chart given by Vijay, I think you refer to the planets in the 12th house of

navamsa when giving this clue, is it not? Egad! I have Uccha Ketu in 12th house to lagna in

navamsa…do you mean to say it blocks the marriage?

हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Hari and Vijay, Namaskar.

The twelfth house causes Sanyasa also. See we have two options to pay off our debts in life: 1)

take Sanyasa and 2) get married and have children. These are essentially the paths of Guru and

Shani. Shani is the karaka of the twelfth house and promotes Sanyasa, and its for this reason

that Venus in the twelfth in navamsa can completely deny marriage all together if Saturn isn’t

well placed.

So, as a result Brighu states: if Jupiter is in the twelfth house and Ketu is in the seventh the

person will have affairs from the day of marriage itself.

Lets try to analyze why: Jupiter in the twelfth can deny marriage due to the teachers, elders,

etc. Now, as per the Varachakra it its Ketu which will undue Jupiters blockage (fifth graha-

remedy graha). But, if Ketu is placed in the seventh house then he will do so by causing affairs

as nodes in seventh can promote adultery. So in this case Brighu says that this position will

bring affairs from the beginning of marriage itself, i.e. Ketu will end Jupiters blockage to begin

the affairs… ouch.

So who will save Mercury in the twelfth or Ketu?

Interesting that Ketu in 7H blocks Ju in 12H and promotes’ affairs’. So if Ju is strong, like it is in

mine and retrograde(12H), Ketu from 7H may not be able to completely ‘ block ‘ it ! So neither was

marriage blocked by Ju nor Ke gave affairs from day 1

Visti Larsen Says:


हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Sharat, Namaskar.

You have misunderstood. It is Jupiter in the twelfth which blocks the marriage, and its Ketu

who removes the blockage. If Ketu is placed in the seventh house then when removing the

obstacle he gives adultery as well.

But, for adultery caused by Ketu there must be two conditions fulfilled: 1) Venus must join or

have rasi dristi on the second from upapada. 2) There must be a lack of children in the

marriage… Ketu’s reason for giving marriage is to increase the family.

I get that, I think I didnt write it correctly. Ju in 12th blocks 7H as per virodhargala and Ketu

unblocks as per varachakra. What if both are in 12H? Will that mean both will promote ’sanyaas’?

Then we look at Venus and if that is afflicted as well!!

Dear Visti, namaste

Thanks for explaining the hint. In your article, you state that the upaya graha should be found from

that graha corresponding to the number obtained after deducting the resultant number of the

problem-causing grahas from nine.

In the example you gave about Guru in vyaya-amsa blocking the marriage, Guru’s number is 3 and

hence the upaya graha should be that corresponding to 9-3 = 6 or Shukra. But in your email, you

say that the upaya graha should be reckoned as the fifth from the problem causing graha. Please

clarify.

For Budha in the 12th, the upaya graha would be Mangal but Mangal is karaka for celibacy so how

can we advise that as remedy? Is this what you are driving at?

For Ketu in 12th, the upaya graha would be Moon; worship of Devi is best here.

The paths of sanyasa marga and grihastha marga are essentially that of Sani and Guru respectively.

If Guru is in the 12th house, why would it work to block the marriage? It would be logical to expect

that Sani in 12th blocks the marriage as it would like to push the native on to sanyasa marga. But

then you say ANY graha in 12th blocks marriage; I can only conclude that this is because of

virodhargaala.

Make sure you also listen to the Jaimini lecture on the Vara Chakra where i have added some

more calculations.

Yes, the twelfth gives virodha argala to the seventh and is also the natural marana karaka

SK Says:


Dear Visti,

Namaskar,

I have a question regarding ketu in curses. You have mentioned in providing example chart for

curses that ketu is often not considered in analyzing for curses. However, you have also pointed out

that some consider ketu to be higher benefic than Venus.

Thus, if ketu and venus are both under influence of two malefics, who would cause more suffering

(considering house position, avastha being similar for both)?

Should the remedy be considered for bhava lord of ketu or venus?

I would greatly appreciate your guidance in this. I am thoroughly confused about ketu’s influence in

curses.

SK

हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear SK, Namaskar.

Ketu can cause a curse of sadhu whereas Venus gives the curse of wife. The sadhu practices

mantras every morning an is in deep meditation on Brahman, so his/her words will truly carry a

lot of weight.

Now you have misunderstood the mp3 slightly, but thats ok as its not easy to grasp. When

giving the specific remedy we are concerned with which curse is causing MORE suffering. I

gave examples of this in the lecture where in one case a curse on Venus was giving more

67.


27 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

suffering than that of Jupiter. So you still need to solve this methodology.

But, when both house position, avastha, etc. are the same then look for the following

influences:

1) conjunction of atmakaraka.

2) conjunction of lagna lord.

3) conjunction of eighth lord.

The influence of these makes the suffering more personal as it affects the native directly…

such a curse is difficult to forget. Without the influence of these the curse will pass over

without a direct impact on the native.

If you still can’t conclude from this, consider Ketu as more benefic than Venus in this regard.


SK Says:

March 30th, 2007 at 11:49 pm

Dear Visti,

Namaskar,

Thank you for detailed explanations and clarifying my doubts on this and devabadhaka.

In order arrive at a specific remedy for a curse, we have to identify the planet giving most suffering.

From my current understanding I have come up with the following order to identify this planet:

1. Planet aspected by highest number of malefics

2. Planet in dusthana

3. Planet otherwise afflicted and in weakness (Debilitation in Rasi, Navamsa, MKS, etc)

4. Planet in conjunction with AK

5. Planet in conjunction with Lagna Lord

6. Planet in conjunction with 8th Lord

7. If all the things above are same, the highest benefic among planets under curse

If the two planets under curse are Ketu and Venus, then I would have to check these conditions to

see which causes more suffering. From your reply, I understand that if the conditions 1-6 in the list

doesn’t apply then Ketu should be considered as the planet causing most suffering than Venus.

Please indicate if the above order of identifying the planet causing most suffering is correct.

I am grateful for this opportunity to learn from you.

SK

Dear Visti,

I wanted to clarify about the 12th house graha for remedy.

We use the Vishnu form as per dictum, when using for’overall progress towards Mukti’ ,we use a

dwadakshari mantra.

What mantra do we use when we want to pray to this graha for the houses it is karaka of? Do we

just drop ‘ bhagwate ‘ from the dwadakshari?

69.

Dear Visti,

Namaskar,

I know what you mean, to worship the karaka, we use pratyadi devta.

I meant to ask the mantra syllables for Vishnu form of deity as per planet in the 12 H.

Sanjayji in one his lectures says if there is a planet in 12H, its karakas benefit if the graha is

worshipped as Vishnu form. Should we not then not use the dasa-avtaar and their dwadakshari

mantra? If so then it works like the Ishta devta mantra dictum? Isnt that right?

Keep in mind that a mantra’s syllables will decide the effect/focus of the mantra. If you want

moksha then twelve syllables is perfect. If you want the strength and ability to face the world

and become a better human being then the eight syllable mantra is the best, and is my personal

preference.

Dear Visti,

If you don’t mind, I am posting here a case in which I have been unable to trace the precise cause

of delay in marriage for the native. The native is male, in good health, a very good cricketer (state-

and currently active in the cricket circles of his current residence.

All my predictions for timing of marriage have failed in this case. Could you please analyse what is

the cause for delay of marriage in this chart, suitable remedies and timing of marriage event?

Hello Visti,

Quick Q re your post #58:

When choosing between Venus and Ketu, you chose Ketu as more beneficial. I believe that in

mundane matters Venus is morr beneficial, Ketu perhaps for spiritual ones- just Naisargika karakas

significations.

In many charts I’ve seen ketu MD, AD to be very ‘humbling’ experience /let alone joyful/, while in

Ve MD there is always some natural signs of joy /remember ‘better bad day fishing than good day

working’?/

This is my perception on this-

I am so curious to know the reasons why you consider Ketu to more benefic than Venus.

Many astrologers see ketu as a malefic, and Sanjay seems to disagree completely this. Would you

elaborate on this issue please- Ketu, natural benefic.

I feel a gap, sort of, in getting deeper understanding of Ketu’s nature. Although I experienced

personally ketu MD in my childhood - it was very confusing, primarily and NOT good for my father

at all /Ke is in 2nd/

I am not sure, but can be that religiosity has become inseparable part of my nature at that time,

although I’d say that I quickly, effortlessly, spontaneously picked up my family’s religious beliefs

since my early childhood, particularly those of my precious loving mother- has ketu MD provided

the framework for that?

Love,

Anna

Sanjeev Says:


Dear Anna,

My understanding of Ketu Vs Venus is similar to yours. A tamil proverb is - “Nothing blesses like

Rahu and nothing curses like Ketu”. I have nth number of examples of this.

Visti would through light on the specificity of the belief which we may not have understood

entirely.

Sharat Says:


||Namah Shivaye||

Dear Sanjeev and Anna,

If I may add my 2 cents on this:

Ketu is considered the most benefic after Jupiter, in matters of dharma, spirituality and moksha. He

shows you the Guru and is the natural mokshakaraka. Ketu also signifies knowledge as signified by

the Vedmurtis.

Natural Devta for Ketu are the Nagas, who are considered spiritual and a source of blessings. Ketu

is thus a benefic in these terms.

On the other hand in reference to material objectives, Ketu is headless and malefic, in the sense that

it does opposite of the accepted social order aka its ability to eclipse the Moon(Society).

This is how I understand this.

Regards

Sharat

77.

Anna Says:


Dear Sanjeev and Sharat,

Thanks for feedback. I feel that too, Sanjeev, about what you wrote about ketu, because nothing

teaches us so well as our personal experience, and I’ve seen other people’s experiences to be

similar to mine. Sometimes it seems being devastating for person’s life:confusion, mistakes, poor

judgment, lack of action, selfconfidence, and misunderstandings of all kind I have seen too many

times not to notice this.

As for spiritual side Sharat, I have experience as a child, which I haven’t forgotten, of living in a

muddy ocean,confussion, senses reduced to minimum, lack of understanding and sharpness of

mind… Other people told me the same.

R. Koch lives ketu period and Zoran as well. They may share their first hand experience at different

age, which would certainly help us in understanding this shadow Ketu- yes, it proves to be headless,

literally and metaphorically!

Anna

Leoncio Says:


Dear Guru VistiJi, Namaskar

As I am a beginner, I am posting a chart that I am trying to understand with the help of many

concepts that I have listened from your records.

October, 24, 1990. Birth time: 07:50 am.

TZ 3 west.

46 west 58 28

23 south 01 47.

Please, let me know if my reasoning is correct. This chart is from a girl and it seems to be interesting

one. Initially, I tried to verify birth time multiplying lagna degree by 81 and the result fell in 26 gr.

Makara, indicating that some correction must be done. Then, I tried to understand a bit more of the

chart.

Badhaksthana is 9th house with Guru and Ketu. Guru is exalted in parivartana with Moon in second

house. Indication of Dharmic issue (9th house and Guru involved). Moon, the Badhakesh, is cursed

and Guru too. Sani conjunct Moon gives Raja Yoga although Saturn destroys Moon by Vara

Chakra. Jupiter also destroys Ketu by Vara Chakra.

In 12th Sun is in MKS, conjunct Sukra and Budha. Mercury eclipses Venus.

Mars in 7th aspects Lagna, indicating angry feelings directed to the native.

Sani is AK shows that she has to learn to have faith in herself. The girl does not have self

confidence, indicating by their Sun (Atman, ego) in 12th and Moon (mind) conjunct Sani. The girl

has great difficulty to make friends (Mars in 7th), possible to have marriage in future, too. Lack of

faith is because of Guru aspected by Rahu and Ketu, as well. Is her mother (Moon) or father (Sun)

suffering? And about spirituality, as ketu is destroied by Guru?

Please, what should be prescribed to the girl, because there seem to be many problems? How should

I continue to correct her birth chart?

Best Regards

Thank you very much

Dear Visti Ji, Namaskar

Please, let me know if my reasoning is correct about chart sent by our colleague Astroyogi. I got

Aquarius lagna. Tula is bhadaksthana with Rahu, Mars and Jupiter. The native seems to have Sarpa

Bhadaka, and Guru is cursed. Chukra is Bhadhakesh in 12th, receiveing the aspect of Sani,

indicating that Venus is cursed.

As Sani is conjunct Sun in Rasi and aspects Sun in Navamsa, there is a curse from father, too.

Since December 2004, native is living Cancer Narayana dasa that is 6th house (of diseases), 12th

from Moon. Moon receives the aspect of Sani too. Moon indicates health and vital fluids of the

native. Cancer receives the aspects of the Bhadhakesh Venus. This shows disease problem,

especially because venus and moon indicates internal vital energy, jala tatwa.

Since March, 18, 2007 the native is living in Rahu dasa. His mind is full of doubt and fear, not

helping any treatment (things are worse because Guru is cursed between 3 malefics).

Rahu and Mars transit by the ascendant, Ketu by 7th house, Sun and Mercury by the 2nd. All this

indicates a difficult configuration.

Visti Larsen Says:


हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Guys and Girls, Namaskar.

A mail from sunny-serbia. Look out for some new pictures in the album over the next few

days:

Hari:

If i follow the principles you taught reg. marriage timing in navamsa, we see that Venus though

exalted is afflicted by four malefics by rasi dristi. Guru itself is debilitated in the twelfth house

and doesn’t promote marriage either.

Now, what i feel needs remedying are the placements in rasi. Specifically two placements,

namely that of Shani and Rahu. Shani as lord of ninth in debility shows durbhagya and delay in

marriage… this specifically delays stable relationships as Shani is vakra in the seventh from

Venus… The partner is always pushed away due to this combination. This is also in the

seventh from arudha lagna, and shows that with more advancement in his career, the further

away from marriage he is pushed.

Rahu in the ninth also promotes durbhagya and delay in marriage and being placed in the fifth

from arudha lagna it shows specifically his social circle/support group will be bad for him.

Notice that these two grahas are atma and amatya karaka respectively and shows some very

deep rooted soul-level issues causing the problems.

My advise is to wear a yellow sapphire on the right hand ring finger and go on a pilgrimage to

visit the shankaracarya. Then the blessing of marriage can come. If he can make such a visit

before the 22nd of May this year it will turn very beneficial.

Anna:

In matters of curses we are always looking at that planet who holds a greater amount of

truth/satya to curse. Here Ketu represents those whose sole focus is God like Ganesha sitting in

constant meditation. So Ketu represents renunciates such as the hermits who live in the

83.


33 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

himalayas or the inhabitants of orthodox monasteries like Oztrog, or those in Fruska Gora and

Sveta Gora.

For those who have Rahu or Ketu in the twelfth or seventh from arudha lagna we will see the

spiritual shift from material to spiritual (or sometimes vice versa) during the dasas of the nodes

or the narayana dasas containing the nodes, and these are triggers that make us choose one

distinct path over the other.

I hope this answers your question.

Another issue is that Ketu can cause terrible devastation in a persons life due to mistakes or

not using ones brains when performing actions. Then the house in which Ketu’s placed can be

completely destroyed. This is especially important for Ketu’s placement in the houses of career

and future namely the fifth and tenth houses. Here the tenth from Lagna and Moon is quite

important, where the tenth from lagna shows our own performance of karma, whilst the tenth

from Moon shows the career support being deprived due to mistakes.

Ganesha worship is necessary in such cases, or wearing a Cats eye on the LEFT hand.

Astroyogi:

We are all restricted by the limitations of written conversation and as a result its also quite

difficult to understand the perspective and thoughts of the person who has

written/communicated something unless more elaboration exists. I would ask you to provide

the birth details and elaborate on the purpose with which you wanto give a remedy.

Leoncio:

All analysis must start from somewhere, and when looking for problems I always follow the

steps of: pancanga, kalasarpa/malika yoga, curses, badhaka, etc.

There is some pancanga dosha due to the lord of Tithi and Vara being joined and this involving

tenth from lagna and moon, but rather than causing distinct suffering it rather shows a person

who won’t have a particularly fruitful career unless they go abroad (twelfth house). And even

in a foreign country their will be a lack of growth and resources. However, a lack of malefic

involvement denies much emotional suffering… there may be problems but suffering always

comes from the malefics.

Now lets look for the suffering. There is a curse of Brahmin and a curse of Matri/mother. The

mothers curse gives most suffering as it involves the atmakaraka, whilst lagnesha Ketu’s yuti

with Guru is a problem, but not as bad as that which affects the atma (atmakaraka).

The curse of mother is also matribadhaka as the Moon is involved with the badhaka and

associated with Saturn in rasi and Mars in navamsa giving both sorrow and anger from mother.

The yoga between Moon and Saturn can also severe family relations and cause financial

problems as the Moon-Saturn yoga is a destructive yoga, but the issue here is the matri-

badhaka.

Thank fully Jupiter is exalted in the badhaka sthana and shows that all obstacles can be

removed by a person with a strong Jupiter, and will be part of the natives support circle (fifth

from AL).

As Jupiter is the fifth lord it also shows that the native has forgotten the worship of a deity

from their childhood. Once the native remembers this the issues related to the health

(lagnesha), family (second house) and future (fifth house) will all be resolved. If she doesn’t

remember then just tell her to worship Ganesha with a simple mantra as Ketu is yuti the fifth

lord Jupiter.

34 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

Dear Astroyogi and Leoncio, Namaskar.

Cancer is due to uncontrolled expansion and manifests in the form of a malefic Jupiter or Rahu

associated with the houses of disease i.e. 8th and 6th.

Regardless of what we may find in our analysis the first and foremost remedy to pull a malefic

Jupiter out of the cancer is to advise wearing of diamonds and reciting the mrityunjaya mantra

2×108 times a day.. usually 1 mala in the morning and 2 mala in the evening.

Now, proceeding with the chart its apparent that the lagna may not be correct as we get 29

degrees Aquarius.

For Aquarius lagna we can vaguely justify that lagnesha Rahu in badhaka sthana with and

afflicted Jupiter can cause cancer but if that had been so then due to the badhaka influence the

doctors wouldn’t be sure if it was cancer to begin with!

Also with Aquarius lagna the shoola dasa since 2000 will be Capricorn which doesn’t have

strong connection with the cancer causing planets, yet has a rudra yoga.

With Pisces lagna this is more clear as the afflicted Jupiter resides in the eighth house. The

eighth lord Venus is placed in the second drekkana indicating chest region and being in

capricorn indicates left breast will be affected by the cancer.

Also the shoola dasa will be of Aquarius which aspects the cancer-yoga in the eighth house

and again giving intense problems since the year 2000.

So, ask her to wear a diamond on the right hand ring finger, recite the mrityunjaya mantra all

the time, or atleast listen to it and ask her to be patient. The future is tough with the vimshottari

dasas of malefics in the 12th and 8th houses in the navamsa, but Rahu-Guru antara in late

2009 will take her fully out of the disease. May Shiva bless her.


Leoncio Says:

Dear Guru Vistiji, Namaskar

Thank you very much for your teachings.

About the girl,i understand that “worshiping Ganesha” will please Ketu and Guru (the native forgot

to worship a deity).

Going a bit further, please help me to advise correct gemstones. If Ketu gemstone is advised. Cat’s

eye seems good because Ketu is lagna lord, although Ketu would destroy Guru that is lord of 5th.

There is a dictum that the gemstone of 9th lord (Moon) is always convenient: even in this case that

Moon is in matribadhaka?

Because of lack in self confidence and shyness of native, Sun gemstone- Ruby (lord of 10th) in 12th

could be convenient.

Concluding please let me know if the follow remedies would be correctly prescribed:

First possibility

a) Worship Ganesha as you have already advised;

b) Use of Jupiter (lord of 5th) gemstone (yellow sapphire or yellow crystal like citrine) ;

c) Use Sun (lord of 10th) gemstone (ruby).

Second possibility may be the use of Moon (lord of 9th)gemstone in place of Sun`s.

Namaste Vistiji,

For some time now I have wondered the effects of Kala Sarpa Yoga when Rahu and Ketu are

exalted. I am referring to a chart with Virgo lagna, Mars and exalted Ketu in 4th, exalted Venus in

7th, exalted Moon, Jupiter, Sun, and Saturn in 9th, and exalted Rahu and Mercury in the 10th. You,

while explaining the Pisacha Yoga, once commented on this chart that Pisacha Yoga will not apply

because of the exaltation of Ketu (due to blessings of Sri Rama). So, similarly, will KSY in this chart

also be modified in some way due to exaltation of Rahu and Ketu?

After learning from you about KSY remedies, I am inclined to advise the native to worship

Kamalaatmika Devi. The native is a little girl. She has a few behavioral issues, but otherwise is

90.


36 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

extremely intelligent (Lagna Lord Mercury conjoined exalted Rahu?). My concern is that her

behavioral issues might be exemplified due to the same Mercury-Rahu conjunction. We usually

don’t like Lagna Lords associated with Rahu, especially a Rahu involved in KSY. But an exalted

Rahu? I am not sure.

Please shed any light you can on this KSY. I do not want to give a wrong remedy due to lack of my

knowledge (I am always so afraid of this). And hence, I am trying to confirm from you.

Birth data, for your reference is - 05/24/2001, 88E22-22N32, 13:21. Time has not been rectified.

jupiter and mars with moon n rahu …

the other curse formed in 9th house with surya ketu and retrograde budh..

my querry is regarding the 3rd house curse where by the significator of the rasi — the sun itself is

involved in a curse .

so should we suggest the worship of surya — guru of graha- dakshinamurthy .

secondy querry is with the appeasement of the prayatdi devta of 3rd house- agni/shiva…

Serbia is great as usual. We had a wonderful time and hope to spend some more time there this

Arjun

You have all the qualities of an astrologer as Ketu and Sun are in trikona in navamsa. Sun also

lords the eleventh from lagna in rasi showing the strong interest.

But, its because Venus lords the eleventh from your arudha lagna that you can work as a

consultant in areas like Jyotisha. However, as Venus is the lord of the same it shows that a guru

must help, whereas Sun and Mars in the eleventh from AL are compelling you towards works

like engineering or the likes.

Now see the dasamsa. Here our focus is on Ketu. Ketu lords the seventh house and whilst this

shows astrology-business, Ketu is placed in the eighth and doesn’t show this being a permanent

business. So Dasas will decide and for the next ten years Rahu is running which will compell

you to work as an astrologer and earn as the same.

Jupiter will replace Rahu and as he disposits Ketu there is a chance that this will continue from

then on.

I wish you good luck in this endeavor knowing that you will make an excellent Jyotisha. Make

sure you learn the techniques to predict roga, yuddha (jupiter in kanya).

Reema

The Kala yoga’s exist no matter the avastha. The reason the pisacha badhaka was nullified is

because in those cases the purpose of the node is to pull down the health and kavacha of the

body. But if the node is exalted it cannot do that and must give good health instead and

increase the kavacha.

Mahavidya worship requires maturity, and it would be best to wait if possible. Venus is exalted

and the best remedy is to advise a gemstone and to get married. After this the kala sarpa yoga

will be practically non-existant.

Arnab

The worst curse is no doubt that of MKS Guru in the third house. Sun is unfortunately part of

the curse and cannot be remedied, as is Mars. We are left with the worship of Prajapati and

this we can advise.

I hope this helps.


Leoncio Says:


Dear Guru Vistiji, Namaskar

First, I wish all happiness to you and spouse.

Thank you very much for your guidance.

Please, see if my reasoning is correct.

Yes, there is parivarthana between Moon and Jupiter, indicating that Moon will give the effect of

Jupiter. But Moon is conjunct Saturn in 2nd: Sani is supposed to give the effect of Moon.

Concluding: the girl should use Saturn (blue sapphire) gemstone in Ring finger. Please, let me know

if this is correct.

Another question is what will help in ketu dasas? For instance she is living Vimsottari Dasa (started

from Moon ) of Ven MD: 1992-03-28 (9:16:14 am) - 2012-03-28 (12:21:15 pm): Antardasas in this

Dear VistiJi, Namaskar

I have just read your answer to Maka, and perhaps I have missed some point. You told in one class

that if some grahas are conjunct they exchange effects (independent if they lord 9th, 5th or 1st

house?): the most malefic would give the effect of the most benefic and vice versa.

Because of this I suggested Sani gemstone for the girl in my e-mail above.

If this is not correct Moon stone should be indicated.

Please, instruct me about this.

Namaste Vistiji,

Thank you so much for clearing the doubts in my mind. I am glad I thought of asking you before

recommending Sri Kamalaatmika worship to the little girl’s mother. Now, I will learn about the

gemstones and ask you any questions I may have.

Our thankfulness to you for teaching us Jyotisha with so much patience, knowledge, and love

Dear Leoncio and Reema Namaskar.

Leoncio

Parivartana dominates over conjunction always, so if you were to advise any gemstone it

would have been the yellow sapphire. Also i would recommend that you only advise another

gemstone incase of parivartana. This is my personal experience.

Please clarify your question reg. Ketu antara.

Reema

No need to thank me, this is my dharma to my Guru.


Leoncio Says:



Thank you for the opportunity to learn with you.

Let me clarify my doubt about basics.

1)You have already indicated Ganesha Mantra to pacify and propitiate Ketu, that is co-lord of lagna

and conjuct Guru in 9th.

2)Also you recommended that the best gemstone is that of the fifth lord in this case as we want the

future to begin. The 5th lord is Jupiter and because of parivartana, Moon should have the effect of

Jupiter. SO IN THIS CASE OF 5TH HOUSE EXALTATION, WOULDNT BE BETTER THE

GIRL USE MOON GEMSTONE IN RING FINGER AND NOT JUPITER`S?

3)My doubt about Ketu (and Sani) is because they are respectively conjunct the lords of 5th (Ketu)

and 9th (Sani). Ketu in particular is very destructive and enemy of Jupiter. WHAT SHOULD BE

THE EFFECT OF THEIR PERIODS (KETU AND SANI) AND CORRESPONDENT REMEDIES?


98.

Leoncio Says:


Excusem the mistake. Your sincerely, Leoncio

99.

Visti Larsen Says:


हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Leoncio Namaskar.

I thought i had answered this post, but there seems to be some problem.

2) The parivartana does not involve the fifth house but the second house, hence the gemstone

of the fifth lord itself should be worn.

3) The conjunctions will not give the effects of the planets in conjunction if those are in

parivartana.

40 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

Thank you very much indeed. Continuing the studies, i am analyzing the chart below. The native is

Pisces lagna. Jupiter is involved in parivarthana with moon. The native suffers Guru curse.

By recommendation of an astrologer the native is wearing Coral (related to the 9th lord) and Guru

Gemstone.

Date: September 14,1954

Time: 18:31:00

Time Zone: 4:00:00 (West of GMT)

Place: 54 W 37′ 00″, 20 S 27′ 00″

Please, could you kindly answer my questions bellow?

a)Is the coral convenient for the native?

My doubt is because Mars is conjunct Rahu in 10th in the 2nd from AL.

b)Should the native start to wear moon gemstone? Moon is alone in 1st without grahas in 12th and

2nd.

Please, clarify.

Sincerely

Leoncio

Rajendra Bhatt Says:


Dear Visti Ji,

Namaskar.

I attempted to find a remedy for the male native whose birth particulars are as under:

Date: April 29, 1981, Time: 4:06:00 am, Time Zone: 5:30:00 (East of GMT)

Place: 72 E 11′ 00″, 21 N 46′ 00″

When I tried to analyse this chart I found it complicated. My observations are mentioned below:

Lagna lord Ju is retrograde and is afflicted by retrograde 11th & 12th lord Saturrn. This chart has

Curse of spouse. Venus is conjunct with exalted Sun and Mars. The curse is in the 2nd house which

is also Upapada. Ve is lord of 2nd house from UL and hence for marriage it is important. Further to

this 7th lord Me which is Badhakesha is involved in Kalatra shaap.

Now with reference to your answer in post #83 this chart has few similarities. Kalatra shaap is on

3/9 axis in Navamsha chart. Here Rahu has conjoined Ve in 3rd house. Retro Sa is in 7th house

from Ve. Sa is 7th lord in Navamsha chart. From Navamsha lagna Sa is in 9th house and is in

debility. In Navamsha Rasi lagna lord Ju and UL are in MKS from Ve. In this chart also Ve and Ra

are AK and AmK respectively.

Is it possible to find a remedy for this native? What could be the remedy for the Curse of spouse?

1.Dispositor of Ve is Mars. Mars is involved in a curse and hence worship of Hanuman can not be

recommended.

2.Karaka of the 2nd house Ju is well placed but it is retrograde and afflicted by retro Sa. So worship

of the pratyadhi devata is ruled out.

3.We have to look for the Tattwa worship. Devata of 2nd house is Jupiter. But Ju is afflicted. Can

we still recommend worship of Vishnu? Can we advise Ashtakshari mantra since the curse is on 2/8

house axis? Please suggest a good mantra for the worship.

4.What can be said about marriage prospects? Is it a case of denial or delay of marriage?

5.In Navamsha chart does the Sa has neechabhanga since Sun is in lagna and is in Kendra from

Moon?

6.Does Ke in 9th house in Navamsha indicate Durbhagya yoga, like Ra?

7.Will you recommend a gemstone to wear? Please elaborate.

effect of Mars? Please, could you guide me answeering this question and from my last e-mail

relating to remedies?

हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Leoncio and Rajendra, Namaskar.

Leoncio

Your inference about the chart is right, i.e. the idea about making Mars strong could end up

causing more disaharmony than harmony. This will happen in all dasas. Here the Mars-Rahu

yoga in the tenth is relevant because that battle there can end up making or breaking that tenth

house. So there is a good reason for advising that Coral, but i would be very hesitant just as

you are.

Instead i would definitely advise a Yellow sapphire/topaz as it would overcome the negative

effects of Rahu conjoined the ninth lord and strength the lagna and fifth house considerably.

Does the person have problems with court cases/legal problems/enemies?

Rajendra

Jupiter is only afflicted by one Saturn. So i would be compelled to say that Sadashiva mantra is

best. There is a 14 syllable Sadashiva which is a prasiddha mantra: Om Bhurbhuva Svah

Sambasadashivaaya Namah| This should be begun from a Thursday.

I think this is a case of delay which occurs because the first spouse (Upapada) doesn’t turn into

marriage.

In addition, due to the junction of the sixth lord with the upapada, i would recommend that

105.


42 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

Astra daana should be done of an Axe to Parashurama (Venus affliction) in a temple of the

same, after which the pursuit for a spouse should be begun.

I hope this helps.


Sharat Says:

May 5th, 2007 at 12:23 am

||Namah Shivaya||

Dear Dhiraj,

The chart I get for you has Venus conjunct with Saturn in the 12H, perhaps you need to clarfiy the

geographical location of Patna city but I wonder if that will change the position of Venus. Anyway,

Jupiter in 7H is outside the nodal axis, hence you do not have KAY/KSY.

Your problems are due to severe afflictions on Lagnesh Mercury and Venus. Me is also 12 th from

AL. Venus is also in 12H and 10th from Moon, signifying that problems will arise at native place of

work. Perhaps you are more suited to work outside your birth place.

Moon in MKS is the dispositor of Me, makes this all the more difficult.

Yellow sapphire will be useful and worship of Jupiter as Shiva will help Me,Mo and Ve. Guru Visti

will enlighten us further.

Sharat

May 5th, 2007 at 12:13 pm

Dear Visti Ji,

Namaskar.

Thank you very much for your prompt reply. I have some doubts:

1. I am advising native to begin a mantra jaap from Thursday. Do you recommend fasting on

Tuesday (Aries upapada) after an offering is made to the temple?

2. The native is in a foreign country. On his behalf can his parents make an offering to the temple?

3. You have said that after this ‘daana’ pursuit for a spouse should begin. But in previous para you

have hinted that first spouse (upapada) doesn’t turn into marraige. I understand that the ‘daana’

remedy suggested by you is to overcome this possibility. Is it so?

4. Can you please explain more how to verify whether the particular upapada will result into

marriage or not.

I am sorry that I have put many questions. Please shed more light to help me in my learning.

Thanks once again.

With warm regards,

Rajendra

Dear Visti Ji,Namaskar

Thank you for the guidance. About your question if the person has problems with court cases/legal

problems/enemies: the astrologer reccomended coral because the native had such kind of problems

for long period.

Because of these problems, the native started to wear imperial topaz (pingent) and coral(pingent).

Also, mantras of BagalaMukhi and Hanuman.

At the moment, these legal problems were solved but continues the 10th house issue as the native

has retired and has been looking for a new activity.

The question is the Mars and Rahu periods from now on.

हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Dhiraj, Leoncio, Rajendra and Anna, Namaskar.

Dhiraj

Sharat is right, there is no Kala Sarpa Yoga. What is notable is the Kalatra Shaapa which

Sharat pointed out and being that Venus is your Atmakaraka it shows very serious suffering in

marriage, health, finances and also in your case your professional rise.

Working abroad would be a useful method of going about this problem, but i would rather that

you meditate and perform Japa for Shiva as Tryambaka. Please learn the Mrityunjaya mantra

and perform it everyday from a Monday whilst meditating on an image of Tryambaka. You can

learn all this here: http://www.srijagannath.org/spirit/mrtyunjaya.htm

Rajendra

1. Yes yes she must of course fast.

2. Well, its recommended that the person themself is present.

3. Yes, we need to overcome all these obstacles.

4. If the Upapada or its lord are sufficiently weak or badly placed then the Upapada doesn’t

turn into a marriage.

Leoncio

The real problem i saw was that whilst a Vijaya yoga was going on in the tenth house we have

a dictum that if Rahu is in the simhasana it will eclipse the house where Sun sits. Sun sits in the

sixth house and hence the legal battles came.

In this case i would have been more compelled to advise the wearing of a ruby (yes ruby) for

sixth lord Sun to overcome the problems with the battles/enemies.

Kasinath Rao gave this same advise to a chart exactly similar to this many years ago.

To startup new opportunities in life one must make the fifth lord strong.

Dear Guru Visti Ji, Namaskar. Thank you very much for the opportunity to learn with you. Please, i

realized the importance to integrate the so many subjects as the chart below involves.

I had difficult to propose remedies because of the yogas with Sun and Moon covering many subjects

of your classes.

March, 16, 1987

01:35 PM, TZ 3.00 west

47W00, 23S00

Chart overview: Native born in full moon, Gemini lagna, with Rahu and Ketu seeming to be in

direct motion (is this possible?). Mars in own sign, Mercury (LL in 9th) , Sun at 1Pis53 conjunct

Rahu and Jupiter. Moon conjunct Ketu. There is Dharmakarndipati yoga because 9th lord Rahu

(weak) in Pisces- 10th. All quadrants are aspecting each other by rasi aspect, meaning Rahu,Ketu

and badhakesh aspecting Lagna by rasi.

Sani is AK in 6th. Vipareeta: lord of 12th in 8th and lord of 8th in 6th.

Problems:

111.


45 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

1)Badhakesh Jupiter combusted and conjunct Rahu, receiving the aspect of Ketu. Indication of

curse of Brahamin (even with Rahu and Ketu in direct motion?). Also of Sarpa Badhaka.

2) Guru, Lord of 7th and 10th is in own sign but is combusted: Indication of problem in career and

relationships.

3) Shakti Yoga and Shiva Yoga: Moon and Rahu aspect each other in 5th house or its trine from

other lagna or AK, the native assume the task of destroyer of creation (not consciously because the

AK is the reference). In this case the yoga occurs in 5th from AK. However there is the benefic

Shiva Yoga in Rasi, as Sun and Ketu are in the axis 4th 12th.

4) Sun is afflicted by badhakesh and Rahu: curse of father.

Please, let me know your idea about the chart and the most convenient remedies for the boy. My

tentative ideas about remedies:

a) Initially, I would advise remedy for badhakesh obstruction with a mantra for Ganesh related to

Virgo. But the yogas involved increase the difficulty of the analysis. Mercury in 9th in AK sign

seems to indicate a good nature, but it is in 6th from Moon (the native usually has strong

headaches).

b) I think occupation choice is very much important for him because of the so many involvement of

10th house (the native has great difficulty in deciding his career and has had difficulty in school).

c) Please, which kind of effect may be reserved by the Shakti and Shiva yogas? Is it possible

remedy for these?

d) Please, which kind of gemstone may be required?

e) Retrogade grahas: in this chart, are Rahu and Ketu benefics or malefics?

f) About question e): are Rahu and Ketu in direct motion? How to know this with JHL?

The native is living Rahu dasa till 2016, and then follows Jupiter dasa.

Looking forward for your guidance.

Yours sincerely, Leoncio


May 8th, 2007 at 11:55 am

Dear Visti Ji,

Namaskar.

Thank you very much for the clarification. Some questions:

1) As I understand the native may not be able to travel to India before August. Meantime can he do

Mantra jaap and fasting?

2) In the lecture you have advised that the person should be vegetarian. In his case the native is

vegetarian but occassionaly takes eggs/ omletes. Should he stop eating eggs as well?

3) About fasting I have one doubt with reference to my query on Upapada. I will put the question

on that page.

Please give guidance.

Ketu is counjuction with Mars which is also a Badhakesha for

my soul (Jupiter Atmakaraka).

19.1.1986 09:13

In rasi’s Badhaka house there is Saturn and it’s causing rasi dristi in navamsa to twelth from

karakamsa with Moon.

Most proper deity seems to be Kali…

In both, Rasi and navamsa there is Sun (GK) & Venus (DK) in twelth from

AL. Although in Rasi there conjuction with AK, so it seems

like i am striving for marriage on soul level, but my mind

is wandering of from that.

For the nodes see this post: http://www.srigaruda.com/2006/12/03/pre-and-postnatal-

abode/langswitch_lang/wp#comment-741

Nodes here are afflicting Jupiter, so they must be malefic.

Fifth and ninth lords Ketu and Moon are in badhaka sthana. The main problem stems from

forgetting the worship of a devata. This devata is Ganesha. The main remedy should be for

Ganesha. As a result of this the native will face the curse of the devata arising from Guru

under a curse.

To remedy the curse the Gayatri mantra must be advised.

115.


47 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

So two remedies: Ganesha followed by Savitur Gayatri.

Further as tenth lord from Moon is Mercury the native should seek a career in a foreign

country only.

Rajendra

1. Yes.

2. Yes.

3. ok.

Venkatesh

The issue is that Saturn as he happens to be lording the twelfth from karakamsa and can act as

Ishta devata. You should worship Narayana with the Astakshari mantra so that this Saturn will

not obstruct your Grahamalika yoga from giving you success.

Bamboo

How about Bhuvanesvari? Moon is breaking your Kala Sarpa Yoga, which is the most

important yoga in your chart. Surely this is the best solution… though you will definitely like

Kali very much. Other option is Kamalatmika… one of the Gurus can break.

Oh boy. Had forgotten to change the timezone to ‘West of GMT’. Oh well.

Either way the devabadhaka is not very strong as only one planet afflicts the twelfth from

Badhakesh.

So, its a curse. Karaka Budha is well placed in the ninth and the remedy should clearly be

Vishnu japa. He will have no problems career-wise with Mercury in the ninth.. infact he will

always be looking for better jobs. People with Mercury in the ninth truly believe that ‘the grass

is greener on the other side’. Or should we say ‘the dollar is greener…’.

Otherwise i would advise a ruby to overcome the dosha of Rahu in the tenth.

Dear Visti Ji,

Namaskar,

Thank you very much for your guidance. Today please permit me to present another chart. This

chart has multiple afflictions which have lead me to confusion. The birth time details of a male

native are:

Date: May 7, 1994, Time: 11:33:00 pm, Time Zone: 3:00:00 (East of GMT)

Place: 51 E 33′ 00″, 25 N 18′ 00″

122.


49 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

In this chart Cp is lagna and Sc is badhaka sthana.

1)Rahu is in badhaka sthana which causes Sarpa badhaka

2)Ketu the co-lord of badhaka sthana is stronger than Ma and hence it is badhakesha. However Ke

or Gulika are not in badhaka sthana or have conjoined Ma. Does Ke indicate Preta badhaka merely

by its lordship of badhaka sthana?

3)Ke has conjoined sixth lord Me. It is the case of Abhicara. The native fight with other person

without any apparent reason. Me is also 9th lord. It shows that native had not performed proper

worship. Ke is in 5th house and has joined its lord Ve. It again confirms mistakes done in puja.

4)Karaka for education Me is in close conjunction with Ke which is vinashkari for itself as per

Varachakra. The native is neglecting his studies and it creates lot of friction and anger at home and

school. At present his undergoing vimsottari Rahu AD in Ke MD.

5)In 5th house there is a curse of spouse.

6)Sun as 8th lord is exalted in 4th house. I am not sure but perhaps as per BPHS Sun does not have

a blemisha due to its lordship of 8th house. Sun is neecha in Navamsha. However its dispositor Ve is

7th from Moon and Sa (which gets exalted in Libra) is in Navamsha Lagna. Does it indicate

Neechabhanga?

Remedial measures:

1.For Sarpa badhaka person should do Narayana bali homam.

2.What about Preta badhaka? Any remedy?

3.To counter Abhicara which Mantra is to be chosen – Vikataya Hum (7th from Ma) or

Dhumravarnaya Hum (7th from Ke)?

4.Remedial graha for Me is Ra. Ra is placed in badhaka sthana. Can we recommend Rahu mantra?

Which mantra do you recommend? Saptakshari mantra “Om Bhram Bhrim Bhroum Sah Rahave

Namah”? Can the native be asked to wear gemstone Panna to strengthen Me during Ke MD?

5.The native is in his early teens. Can he be asked to do remedy for a curse of spouse?

I understand that he should worship Sadashiva mantra – based on Pratyadhi devata. Which mantra?

In earlier post #104 you have given a 14 syllable Mantra? Can the same mantra be recommended?

I am very sorry that I have put up many questions. Please bear with me and guide me.

Thank you very much. With warm regards.

Dear Vistiji and respected members on this site,

my name is prateek kumar and I am 27 year of age, me and my father have a little bit knowledge of

astrology which we gained after reading many books and with the help of some knowledgable

persons.

My question here is relating to my kundli, though my father says that your future is bright but I am

unable to understand my kundli, its a mix of various yogas (bad as well as good), till now I spent a

life full of high ups and down, one moment I feel dipressed like hell and the other moment I am full

of zist.

there is no stability in my life, in last four years I changed 4 jobs (without my intention to changing

it, it happens) and been to variuos places.

since october’06 i was in a job and expecting to be permanent in that role and planning to never

leave this job, but suddenly in april’07 i got nothing in hand, since then I am looking for job.

can any of you advice me, why is it happening and what should I do, what possibly you see is

written for me in near future.

my birth details are

Secondly what is the possibility of spiritual evolution in my life.

I look forward for your suggestion as I need to make a choice based on your suggestion.

I appreciate the time that you will spend on this.Can the response be sent on my email id.

हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Kanmani, Ajender, Rajendra, Prateek and Vivek, Namaskar.

Kanmani

Your main issue is due to Kala Amrita Yoga. Please fast on Saturdays to ensure more peaceful

marriage. Also wear an emerald to cause the exaltation of Venus and break the Kala Amrita

Yoga. The latter will help your finances and ensure a better outlook on life.

Alternatively to wearing gemstones, only wear gray clothes (virgo).

Ajender

Kamalatmika Sadhana is not a Shukra mantra or anything like that. Kamalatmika is a

Mahavidya and is thus one of the ten forms of Neela Shakti/Mahakali. These forms require

strict vegetarianism to worship and also a few other restrictions depending on the sadhana,

prime among which is being celibate.

However, the results of this sadhana are to say the least fantastic. Yet, do not partake in this

sadhana without a Guru, as this is not for the weak-hearted.

Rajendra

Now, are you collecting remedies for your family and friends?

So after all your analysis, I must do the work. Very well.

The only problem is Sarpa Badhaka. Everything else is linked to Sarpa badhaka which is the

real cause of the problems.

125.


51 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

The remedy is:

Plant and care for eleven trees at a holy place, i.e. ashram or temple. This should be done after

worshiping Shiva as Nageshvara with the Nageshvara Jyotirlinga mantra.

The offering and worship should be done during his birth-tithi, during which a lamp should be

offered to Shiva as well.

Following every year on his birth tithi he should offer a lamp to Shiva and recite the same

Nageshvara mantra.

Prateek

Its hard to see the forest for all the tree with four planets in Leo. However, then you will miss

the Kala Amrita yoga going on in your chart. We must break it somehow otherwise those

finances and job will keep having problems.

So, wear a yellow sapphire and worship the Guru. Start with that and we’ll see.

Vivek

I’m sure this is a very important decision, and I am fully at your service for the same. Do look

into my consultations section for more.


Prateek Kumar Says:

May 20th, 2007 at 4:36 am

Dear Visti ji

Jai Shri Krishna

Thanks for the prompt reply.

I am already wearing a yellow sapphire & pearl since last 4 years

as well as on advice of my father I also wore one more yellow sapphire last month in my silver

neckless with one more pearl.

Also tried and still practising too many things like recites geeta (15th chapter) daily, rudrashtakam,

hanuman chalisa, hanumanashtak, saptsholki geeta, and many more things (its a part of life now) a

few years before used to go temple on daily basis for rudrabhishek.

Though with the blessings of lord all (few exceptions) of my work completed but with great

difficulty, extra ordinary efforts and a huge amount of patience

but I never minded these situations and always hope for the good in future.

but I believe now I am at this stage where I am finding it extremly difficult to make my way. The

real situation is:

I am a chartered accountant from india, (average student but completed it in first attempt), got the

first job in first interview without any efforts (and i think it was the best job for me careerwise),

then in 3 months i left it, then went into a partnership with local ca firm again broke up in 3 months

(in the meanwhile I was planning for marriage with a girl, but father denied due to kundli matching)

thats why life got disturbed and started looking overseas job and again with great difficulty I went to

dubai worked there for 2 years 8 months and got australian pr and came here in august 2006 started

a entry level job in mnc in october’06 (I was thinking to grow up in the same organization) and this

time I got a kick of the life time, I worked so hard, above their expectations (which was bad for the

existing staff), the manager framed me and got me terminated in the beginning of april’07

Since then I am looking for job in my field, though I am working part time on weekends (different

field)

I know its too much to ask for and this is not the place where I should ask you these questions

but can you please tell me whether there will be a light in my life?

will I got work in my field (accounting, audit, compliance)

and the best question when will be the time of my marriage?

126.


52 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

Its not neccessary for you to reply these questions, I just saw your knowledge in this field thats why

I asked you so many questions, its a very nice feeling to communicate with a person who is having

such a deep knowledge in this field and the way you explain others. wow

Will wait for some comments and write you soon, definately I am gonna increase my knowledge by

following ur way

Thanks and regards

हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Pratheek, Rajendra and Amit, Namaskar.

Pratheek

When a person is born with a yoga like that of the Kala Sarpa or Kala Amrita, these thoughts

bother these people for the most of their life. There is life ahead of the tunnel. Begin the

process by worshiping Guru with the mantra: Om Gurave Namah. Do this for 40 days for 10

malas a day imagining the Guru sitting in Padmasana on your head.

Then do the same for another 40 days with the mantra: Om ParamaGurave Namah.

After this its: Om ParatparaGurave Namah|

Lastly its Om ParamestiGurave Namah|

After this you will see yourself in a different place in life, and that too a much better one.

Rajendra

The main flaw was that just as there is a main curse in the chart, there is also a main badhaka.

129.


53 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

Remedy this ‘main-badhaka’ and the other badhakas will fall in line.

Yup, your right. So now you see how these major yogas can obstruct the blessings in a chart.

Excuse me this very basic question. I just want to clarify a doubt about the chart i proposed

(number 11 above, your answer 17).

I understand the unuspicious combinations (like badhakas, curse etc) are yogas and Vedic Astrology

proposes remedies for them. Although,certainly does not exist remedies for yogas like Shakti Yoga,

does it? Please, if possible clarify the following:

a) confirm if this chart has some Shakti and Shiva yogas?

b) if so, which kind of effect may be reserved by the Shakti and Shiva yogas in the life of the

native?

c) and has the remedy you have proposed by e-mail n. 17 some effect regarding these yogas? Is it

possible remedy for these?

Blessings

Visti Larsen Says:

May 21st, 2007 at 6:23 pm

हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Leoncio, Namaskar.

If the Atma (Sun) is eclipsed and is following the wrong path (rahu), worship the Guru (Jupiter)

for guidance.

133.


54 af 66 18-03-2009 21:18

If the Mana (Moon) is eclipsed and cannot seek happiness, then worship the ‘other’ Guru

(Venus) to attain a more comfortable life.

There is a different yoga in the given chart, namely that of a Vasuki Yoga (Sun-Rahu) and the

blessing (or curse) of the divine serpents has come. The blessing can come if Guru is strong,

and here its involved in the same conjunction and thus forms a curse. A bit of a predicament.

So the curse needs to be solved first. Always solve the MAIN problem first and these main

problems are in their order: KSY/KAY, GMY, curses, Badhaka. Make these priorities in your

mind so that you won’t get carried away with all sorts of other yogas and remedies which

eventually may only give a temporary relief but not solve the main problem.

I hope this clarifies things.

Yours, Visti

pathik Says:

May 21st, 2007 at 10:34 pm

Namaskar Visti,

I have a couple of queries:

(1) how does one remedy the Kemadruma Yoga [(so I guess I have three queries then -) is the

absence of planets in 2nd and 12th H from Moon a sufficient condition of this yoga?]

(2) you suggest that for the MKS the aditya of the karaka wherein the MKS occurs should be

worshipped - could you illuminate on the various karaka adityas?

Thanks and regards as always.

134.


May 22nd, 2007 at 8:15 am

Dear Visti Ji,

Namaskar.

Thank you very much for clarifying. Now I understand the hierarchy of afflictions as under:

1) KSY / KAY

2) Badhaka

3) Curses

Is this order correct? Or do we weigh the degree of badhaka affliction against curses to recommend

remedy of either of them?

From your earlier post it is clear that remedy for KSY/KAY is foremost important.

Please enlighten.

With warm regards,

Rajendra

LoL, i didnt notice trees from the forest.

What about pilgrimages?

Lets take example of person who has debilated Saturn in

tenth.

Is it advisable for him to venture on Jyotirlinga of Mahakala

when Saturn is making exalted transit

or is it more wiser to go then when Sun is in Vaisakha?

Last would seem to be possible because Hum Vishnavee Namah

is used to MKS of Saturn.

Bamboo Says:

chant them through like “20 malas for twenty days”?

Pathik

1. Planets in kendra to Moon or Lagna deny Kemadruma yoga… If not then check the kendras

to lagna in the Bhava-Chalit Chakra. Make sure you strengthen that planet which is in kendra.

2. These are the Nava-suryas. My students have been taught this several times. I am repeating

them here:

Graha - Surya

Sun - sUrya

Moon - mitra

Mars - vivasvan

Mercury - Aditya

Jupiter - viSNu

Venus - ravi

Saturn - varuNa

Rahu - bhaga

Ketu - bhaskara

Bamboo

Yes you can do this on 20 days, but we advise the 40 days to ensure the transformation occurs

more thoroughly.

Mohit

You have Kala Sarpa Yoga. The remedy to break it is through Tara Mahavidya, and do recite

the Shakti-Vinayaka mantra as well to start the process. The mantra is from Surya Aruna

Karma Vipaka:

ॐ � ं गं � ं महागणपतये नमः �वाहा।om hrīṁ gaṁ hrīṁ mahāgaṇapataye namaḥ svāhā|

Amit

Kali is one among the ten Mahavidya, whilst Durga is the mother of all. Planets in nakshatras

won’t help you determine the mahavidyas.

Saturn in the fifth house can be remedied through Narayana worship also. Have you tried this?

Det var saa lidt.

Surya

I’m sorry for your problematic situation.

Without remedies it will require 16 years of legal-marriage before that happens, yet with long

term separation.

Rijula

Worship of Lakshmi will definitely grant you all this. Venus antaradasa from Nov 2007 - July

2009 is very strong to give you a good and healthy child.

Dear Visti Ji,

Namaste. In your lectures, you mentioned the relationship of Mantra to Mana, and Tantra to the

Tanu. Could you also comment on the physical effects of a Mantra?

In the past few months, there has been an increase in the number of fiery mantras I chant.

Coincidentally, I have also started Mangala AD, to wear a ruby, and to practice Dhaarana as per

your recommendation. There are definitely mental effects, such as more clarity of understanding,

mental peace as well as small improvements in specific affairs which I was trying to remedy with

these mantras. What caught me by surprise, though, are the physical effects. For instance, I always

had sinus problems, which got a lot worse during Chandra AD, but practically disappeared now. My

appetite and energy level have both increased with the increase of the Jatharaagni. (As an aside,

worship of the Guru also seems to have something to do with appetite, since I am now drawn to

desserts that I never cared for before.) Would you think these physical changes are related to the

AD itself (I think not, based on your lectures), gemstones, dhaarana, or the mantras themselves?

Another mantra that always has physical effects on me is the Mrutyunjaya, which always provides

relief from pain or illness. It’s rather interesting how that works, actually - I might suffer for hours

or days with a particular ailment, before I remember to chant the mantra, and then when I do, the

ailment disappears. I figure making me forget until the right time is one way to ensure my karmic

debts are paid. I am curious to know if the Mrutyunjaya works like this for everyone, or if my

vargottama lagna makes this mantra particularly beneficial for me. What has been your experience?

I have seen the Mrtyunjaya take people out of years of chronic fatigue, and scizophrenia. But,

for those with vargottama lagna the effects of Mrtyunjaya are quite profound as the native has

an intimate relationship with the mantra.

Tantra at its highest, and not at the level that some are practicing, is the process of channeling

the deity worshiped in ones own body. Great teachers of our lifetime have used this power to

uplift those who approached them and lead them towards a better life. This is the real tantra

and a means to attain it is through mantra and dhyana.

Honey

Which place were you born in?

Vaishnavi

a) This is a relative question in any chart. A natural malefic is always a malefic, but may end

up benefiting a person due to its lordship and placement from i) lagna and ii) arudha lagna. The

latter is more important for a final assesment for material effects in life.

You can surely learn this from the lectures on the site.

b) You have Ketu in the fifth house showing that you lack a clear direction for your future and

aspirations. As this is placed in the tenth from Moon it can completely ruin career

opportunities.

The remedy is without a doubt the worship of Sri Ganesha. The Prasiddha mantra: Om

Ganeshaya namah is excellent for you.

Further, the worship of Prajapati would be extremely beneficial for your spouse. The mantra is:

Om Prajapataye Namah.

c) Yellow Sapphire/Topaz would be very useful at present.

d) Kendradhipati dosha isn’t a problem in your horoscope nor anyone else’s.

e) Ahhh… see #b.

AA) If the chart is right it gives very good health and lovely place to stay. It gives a great

blessing from the divine mother.

BB) Means you don’t listen to Gurus and are very independent.

हरे राम कृ�ण॥Dear Rakesh, Namaskar.

Why is being tight with money a problem?

Jupiter in Badhaka sthana is a beautiful position as it can remove all obstacles… but being that

it is sixth lord it can give enmity IF afflicted.

Yours, Visti

Dear visti,

Namaste! As in one of ur lecture u said malefics exalted and retrograde in trines would give bad

results acts like a debilited planet. i just have one question for mithun(gemeni) lagna if saturn is

placed in 5th house (exalted)with ketu , so its mahadasha will give bad results?due to retrogression

as it is also a lord of 8th house and 9th house? if it is bad what would be the best remedy for that?

kindly as a guru throw some light on it.

Kind regards

Arjun

When a person has Grahamalika yoga or Kala Sarpa/Amrita Yoga, they are born with a very

strong desire from the past life, which they wish to attain. Its a very extreme desire when we

speak of sarpa/amrita yoga, whereas the malika yoga can be a result of a lot of pennance for

some desire to be attained.

Under the comments for the retrogression discussion i have given more than a few examples of

how to judge the retrogression. Please refer to that. In short, yes that position of Saturn is

inauspicious, but depending on its placement from arudha lagna this inauspicious event can

turn out to benefit you… Do refer to the retrogression article.

Rakesh

We normally never give Coral to a Taurus lagna as Mars is a dire malefic and maraka for

Taurus.

You have not given me the full story of this chart! The problem is not that Jupiter is in third,

because whilst Jupiter is in Marana Karaka Sthana in third house, this Jupiter is in Exaltation

and normally wouldn’t give such malignant results. Instead you should have also told me that

Jupiter is retrograde!!

Now, if i) a benefic; ii) is retrograde; iii) in a dusthana (3*,6,8,12); iv) and exalted. This can be

quite bad for health and longevity (Parasara-Balarishta chapter). Here Jupiter is also eighth

lord and this enforces the problems.

Ask him to worship the Omkaresha Jyotirlinga with the Mrityunjaya beejas: om namaH

shivaaya omkareshvaraaya hauM juuM saH|

This should be begun immediately.

In addition ask him to worship Surya in the form of Vivasvan: om hraM ghrni vivasvate

namaH|
