Child Birth...6

Before reading this post please read the following:


The fourth month of pregnancy belongs to Sun. For more details about Sun please see the following posts:


Sun is the most important planet since it governs the soul (Atma) of the human body. If Sun is strong for a native, then he will be righteous and will work towards own spiritual uplift and also guide others.

It is the 4th month when the soul actually enters the child's body.

If mother's Sun is strong, the child will have a charismatic personality. The child will be good in subjects such as Maths and Philosophy. The child will achieve great heights in society through his thinking and influential speech. The child will be very impressive and will have a spark in eyes.

Things to do:

Child Birth...3

Before reading this post please read the following:


Even though these posts contain my studies from various sources, the major chunk comes from Mr. Pawan Sinha's lectures. Again a salute to the great Guru for sharing his knowledge.

Every month during the pregnancy period is governed by a particular planet out of the seven planets (leaving Rahu and Ketu) . The first month of pregnancy is ruled by Venus. For more details about Venus please see the following posts:


If mother's Venus is weak, then in the first month, mother will experience some problems. It is very important to make her Venus strong, because first month is the most important month during pregnancy. 

Do the following such the Venus of the child is strengthened:

1. Husband and wife should clean their home worship place, or the place where  you keep idols, pictures of God!
2. Manage your home well. Keep all the things organized.
3. Spray fragrances in your home regularly, or light of incenses which emanate sweet smells.
4. Play light music in your home. 
5. Do a regular chanting of mantras such as Santan Gopal Mantra and/or Krishna Damodar Stotram.

Other remedies are listed in following posts:

Child Birth...2

As per SriRamCharitmanas(the story of Prince Ram; the condensed form of Ramayan), it is a very difficult period for a child, which is a living being, for the 9 months when it is in the mother's womb. We must not forget that it is a difficult and crucial time for the mother too. 

This is the time when the soul (within the baby, after the 4th month, more on this later) suffers and understands the agony of being in a closed space, totally dependent on the mother. During this time the soul remembers all the bad deeds that it committed in his/her earlier lives. Just imagine, for a moment that you are kept in a cage and there is nothing through which you can communicate with the outside world. You are given food but still you cannot speak out to anyone and have to be contended with what you have. Such is the state of a child in womb. 

The only thing which can pacify its pain is narration of some spiritual text. For example, the father can read the some text such as the ShreemadBhagwadGeeta to the child till it is in the womb, regularly. Note that the book can be any, depending on the faith you follow (such as The Bible, Qoran, Guru Granth Sahib or Zend Avesta), and it can narrate the speech of the Almighty or stories about the Lord. The point is to develop a spiritual propensity for the child.

This can definitely ease out pains that a child is going through. Now you might ask that what happens to the child's memory after taking birth. Does it not remember the events of previous life after that? Yes it does, but it can't speak, right? Then how will it convey them? Also, as per SriRamCharitmanas, the agony of the birth, which is painful, not only for the mother, but also for the baby, makes the baby forget the previous life events to a good extent. Rest of the memories are washed off by the time child turns 5. Also, there have been extraordinary kids who have narrated things from past lives.

 The point is that, during the gestation period of 280 days approximately, it is the father's and mother's onus to reduce the agony of child and as you would expect, there is just one way to alleviate the pains...remember the Lord.

All the best. From the next post I will start narrating the affects of planets on the child for 9 months.

Child Birth...1

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2009/12/introduction.html

I have been thinking of writing on this topic for long. I will try to cover every aspect that belongs to this topic starting from the primary act of having a child, i.e., from coitus to the things that can be done to have a brilliant child.

In today's world we need citizens who can work for the betterment of the society. Citizens who work not only for their community, society and country but also for the whole world. As the human society is advancing people are becoming more and more materialistic and hence selfish. Being materialistic and selfish is not bad until a person begins to harm others for his own success. This is bad. We need good people who can help others reform.

The first step towards having a baby is coitus. It can happen between any two individuals who are matured enough to nurture a baby and ready to take the responsibility of the baby. Please note carefully that this text is not a manual for enjoying coitus. It is not a re-write of any such book.

Following are some of the things a couple must undertake towards having a child with good planets:

1. Balance your own planets. This is valid for both parents. Prepare yourself mentally for this 'job'. Chant the Santan Gopal Mantra and Stotram regularly. Strengthen your main planet. See :

http://prapatti.com/slokas/mp3/santaanagopaalastotram.mp3
http://prapatti.com/slokas/sanskrit/santaanagopaalastotram.pdf

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2009/12/your-main-planet.html

2. Girls who have a weak Jupiter must strengthen it. If you have problems related to hormones have yourself treated and also do stuff for strengthening Venus and balancing Mars. Girls must keep a poster of Lord Krishna sitting in Maa Yashoda's lap in their room and look at the lord as if He is her own child. They must worship Lord Krishna daily and offer him sweets.

3. Boys should work specially toward strengthening their master of 7th house, Venus and Jupiter.

4. Avoid coitus, specially when you are planning a baby, during:
a.) dawn time
b.) evening time
c.) day time - this specially weakens your Sun and also the child's Sun.
d.) when there is a special occasion going on in home
e.) Navratra time (twice a year)
f.) deepawali (amawasya) and holi (full moon) days and any other festivals and auspicious occasions.
g.) Solar and Lunar eclipses

These are the times when deities (the Devatas) are busy and they need energy from humans (humans chanting and conducting yajnas give them energy see ShreemadBhagwadGeeta Chapter 3 Shloka 10). So, it is preferable that we pay attention to them and not to our sensual pleasures.

Planets' hints...6

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2009/12/introduction.html

When Rahu is bad then the following things will happen often with the native:

1. Problems with electronics stuff.

2. Everything around you will be out of order and you will have to work hard to find your things. 

3. Wires will float around you and they will entangle together and you will have a hard time re-arranging them.

4. If Ra is bad in one's chart, it gives the native all the pleasures of life (since it is materialistic in nature). But all this will halt and start declining after the native gets to 48 years of life, and the native will have a bad old age.

5. If native is into bribery, he will receive bribes specially on Saturdays.


6. Bugs, insects, spiders, mosquitoes will attack you without any good reason.

Ketu - If Ketu is badly placed in native's chart, following are possible:

1. The native will develop a bad habit of comparing himself witth others. This will intensify his dissatisfaction if he is not receiving due success. 

2. When Ketu combines with Mo, native will have severe headaches. This is also possible when Mo is in Ketu's constellation (nakshatra), namely - Ashwini (in Aries 0 to 13.2 degress approx), Magha (in Leo 0 to 13.2 degress approx) and Mool (in Sagittarius 0 to 13.2 degress approx).  Ketu can give a headache even when in ascendant. 

Read the following too - 

3. Ketu is the ruler of emancipation or when it is bad, separation. So, a person will have to remain away from home due to Ketu. He will have to remain away from family and it is probable that the person will distance himself (or the circumstances will occur as such) from his closed ones.

Planets' hints...5

3. Native will have hard time with bosses, subordinates and servants.

4. When Sa combines with Ma or Ra, native has a hard time in everything specially during 7.5 years of Sa sadhesati. An exception occurs when Sa combines with Ra in Taurus or Libra wherein both Sa and Ra are friends of Venus.

5. Delays in achievements even after working hard (there can be others reasons too).

6. Bad relations with parents, specially with father.

7. See the following link for something more - 

8. Native will have dandruff and it will not go easily.

9. One important observation is that after taking shower or using tap water(for bathing), and closing it tightly, it will drip little bit water after some time (few seconds) when you leave it.

Moon 

If Moon is not good it displays the following:

1. Bad relations with mom and maternal relatives.

2. The native will waste water & this will happen naturally, e.g. Tap will remain open and water will drip, even after closing it tightly (the first time). This also indicates that you are about to incur unwarranted expenditure.

3. Lack of concentration in daily activities.

4. Feeling of sleep/weakness during day, specially at 10 am.

5. The native will be fond of chicken, turkey and other birds and their eggs (for eating).

Mars 

If Mars is not good it displays the following:

1. Bad relations with siblings or absence of siblings. Bad relations specially with brother and his wife.

2. No interest in outdoor activities.

3. Being over possessive in relationships.

4. Weak constitution and lack of will power.


5. If Mars is enemy of the ascendant and is placed close to ascendant, in house 1 or house 2, the person will use abusive language quite a lot and hurt others by his voice. The person will develop Vani Dosh (voice defect) and ruin both Mars and Jupiter. In such cases the native is extremely high-headed and thinks too good of himself. He will be extremely egoistic and will ruin his relationships with his voice. The observations are true even when Mars is yogkarak planet, in case of Cancer and Leo ascendants.

Planets' hints...1

http://oneastrovedic.blogspot.com/2009/12/introduction.html

How do you know a planet is signaling to you that it is about to cause a problem or getting dis-balanced or is bad for you?

The first planet with which we can start is Sun. Sun as explained earlier is the planet responsible for any sort of recognition that a person receives in his life. Hence, following are some of the ways a native can realize that Sun is bad/dis-balanced:

1. You are not recognized for your efforts, specially at your-workplace. Now, it does not mean that only Sun has the onus of recognitions. Other planets too give you recognition of your work.

2. You have bad relations with your dad, paternal uncles and your elder brother.

3. Sometimes the dad is completely absent from the native's life. It mostly happens either when Sun is sitting in Cancer or when it is debilitated and/or oppressed by malefic such as Sa, Ra. In such cases the status of master of 10th house must also be considered.

4. You have a bad stomach consistently and you lack confidence required for day to day activities, specially which require facing people.

5. Lack of concentration and weak eyes. It does not mean that a person with weak eyes will always have weak Sun and a person with with bad Sun have weak eyes, but I have noticed this to happen.

So, please share this knowledge with others. You can use the social websites to do it. Please help someone today.


In the coming days, I will take up some interesting topics to discuss. The first one being how to know which of your planets is signalling that it is going bad and what signals it will give.

with best regards,
a student of Vedic Astrology,
Vikas.

Appease Ketu...2

6. Worshipping Lord Shiva also helps in appeasing Ketu.

7. Chant the Gayatri Mantra and Gayatri Stavan.

8. Meditate on your Ishta Dev.

9. Do not dry your wet hair using a fan or hair dryer after washing them. Use a cloth for that. If you dry using a fan, the Mo+Ke combination becomes severe. This leads to problems such as severe headache and sinus problems.

10. Make Moksha as your final aim of life and work toward it through various ways. Read the BhagwadGeeta.

11. Do the remedies of moon too.

Appease Ketu...1

Following are the ways through which people can balance their Ketu:

1. Worship Lord Ganesha with the simplest mantra - "Om gam ganpataye namah". Lord Ganesha loves simple things and it is very easy to please him. Worship him on all days, specially on Wednesday evening.

2. Worship Lord Ganesha with doorva(fresh grass).

3. Begin each day with keeping some blades of fresh grass in your pocket after touching it with your forehead.

4. Help the downtrodden of the society, people at the lowest level of society and who are despised by everyone.

5. Prepare a stable for donkeys and asses. These are the animals which are severed and looked down upon by all. Hence serving them in some form or the other appeases Ketu.

Ketu...for emancipation

Planet Ketu, which is also a shadow planet, is the one which affects the Mo adversely. When it sits with Mo it gives the native some or the other sort of headache and the headache can be as serious as Sinus. The good part is that the native has strong intuitions. The intuitions can be good or bad depending upon the strength of Mo, planets aspecting it and its position. Just like Rahu, Ketu gives fruits of the planet in whose house it sits.

Ketu is said to be a giver of fame and success of the highest order, but when a person is at that level because of Ketu, the person will actually be alone.

A person when under the affect of Ketu, will have to live alone, away from home. Ketu forms an interesting yoga with Saturn in 12th house. The yoga is called Karawas (prison) yoga. It actually does not necessarily signify that the person will be incarcerated, but that the person will be away from his comfort zone, segregated from the rest of the world, may be working for a secret project.

Ketu is also signifies Moksha or final emancipation from the cycle of life and death. If Ketu is situated in 12th house alone and if it is exalted or with master of 5th house, the person is bound to get Moksha after the current life. Ketu can make a person highly spiritual if it has guidance of Ju.

Rahu...ways to appease...3

12. Plant sandalwood tree and water it daily.

13. Do the remedies for the Moon.

14. Read religious text such as Puranas and Vedas.

15. Have your lunch and dinner in kitchen sitting on the floor.

16. Don't have non-veg food at all. Avoid alcohol.

17. Try to strengthen the master of house where Rahu resides.

18. Wear a white sandalwood necklace or tying pieces of sandalwood in a thin cloth around upper arm or neck is a good remedy for Rahu. (Saindhavi, one of the readers gave this, thanks!)

Rahu...ways to appease...2

6. If Ra is causing problems in the stomach, use fresh white sandal paste in your belly button.

7. If Ra combines with Sa, chant the Mahamrityunjay Mantra.

8. Develop a good rapport with your in laws. Try to be friends with foreigners.

9. Find a Guru & worship him.

10. Wear fragrances(specially sandal)and be well dressed.

11. Be methodical in your approach and keep things arranged in your life - at home and at workplace.

Rahu...ways to appease...1

Ways to appease Rahu:

1. Worship Lord Shiv. Ra keeps in control when Lord Shiv is appeased.

2. Read the first chapter of Durga Saptshati. Worship Maa Durga. See the details on the Ve blog.

3. Feed the black ants (small) with white flour and sugar.

4. If you have stomach bugs, have regularly 5 fresh leaves of Neem tree in the morning.

5. Wear a white sandal Tilak on your forehead daily.

Rahu - for success in material world

Rahu this is another planet, which every body fears. And it becomes particularly bad when it is influenced by Sa. It is a shadow planet so it does not have its own existence. So, mostly it gives the fruits of the planet in whose house he sits. Rahu is the most powerful planet of all. It is twice as powerful as the second most powerful planet Sun. Rahu is capable of expanding the capabilities of its resident house several times. But it needs guidance of a benefic such as Ju. Ra is partially dormant when it sits with Ma. Ra is a highly materialistic planet and it gives material success to people when favorable. Ra represents your in laws, foreigners, and bugs in your life. Since most of the mortals are materialistic, we must keep Ra happy.
