Spiritual Experience regarding 8th house: Kundalini and Chakra
In First Post we try to understand how the 8th house has a deep relation with the longevity, pain, sufferings and life transformations, now in this part, we will try to understand How deeply it is important for Raising once spiritual awakening.
Readers can check on Part 1st of 8th house deep factors from Here
During the recent past years, I have heard and seen from many of people who are scared about the dreaded fear of 8th house – as being 8th house is always about a house of death, house of past birth curses, house of sufferings, Delays, Hurdles and obstacles and Many more blah blah things without knowing its spiritual essence etc.
One should always remember the death of Soul and Body is only one aspect of the 8th house, it has many more hidden secrets that are stored in the deep mystery world.
Death is majorly seen only when the strength of Lagnesh (1st) and 8th lord is purely devoid and weakly placed in D1, D9 and d60 chart.The main planet for Seeing Death via 8th house is always a separative planet ( Nodes ).
Always remember God never punishes you without any reason, he is the one who gives us new chance and watches our every action, and those who aspire to reach new heights for the new spiritual journey out of your past karmic actions and sins, he gave them bliss of spirituality for guiding mankind in the right path. Those who are in fear or guilt of their past actions god gave them first opportunity to learn and helps to let them transform themselves into a new path of spirituality for the well being of own soul and other pathless souls.
Astrologically, let me tell you 8th house energy is not easy to understand in simple layman language, it’s being Karka house of Scorpio, Saturn (Longevity) and Ketu (Occult and higher Spirituality).One should know first what saturn (Karmic Transformations), Scorpio and Ketu(Pending Karams, Occult and divine spirituality)represents – Initially Saturn being lord of Mooladhara chakra first gets disturbed here due to imbalanced mundane desires arise after sufferings, delays and hurdles and out of those difficulties it makes person first empty hand and when further those disappointments makes your more closer toward higher divine path it activated the Kundalini energies toward higher chakras and when all the chakras in balance state, everything including any sort of mundane desires will be comes to you without any efforts but in right time, but first preparation and learning is important Here.
Ketu being the karka of 8th it makes you ultimate divine and after learning of pending karmic duties it balances you so that you can move further without support. It’s the Universal rule, to activate your kundalni energy you need to first become balance and eligible for it and when it reaches to 12th house (Higher Sub Conscious samadhi) it makes one more toward higher almighty and its dhayan.
logically it’s not a house of death of Body and Soul, its a house of death of ego and false intelligence (represented by lagana) being falling in 8th from 1st – it ends the lagana false properties and over proud – as Rahu and Sun being stronger in lagana.
It’s more a house of spiritual transformation and sacrificing your mundane desires and gives a new understanding of spirituality being falling in 9th from 12th. It’s about the house of surrendering your false ego and destroying your falseness given by Lagana.
when you surrender all of your mundane desires and greeds it gives you new transformations that where your new experience spiritual journey starts. Mundane sufferings lead to the new journey of spirituality and transformations and end is peace and you will be a blessed one that where the roles of 9th house came ( Divine wisdom).
That’s why it is falling in 5th (Skilled require for Bhakti) from 4th – the moksha trine, where 4th is the bhakti sthan then 8th is the house of sadhna required for bhakti for divine mother – where it sits. being fallen in 12th from 9th house of Sanchit karama it represents the what is left from your past karams – the debits of past that you have to finish in this birth without any if and buts. Debits are not curses, they are left over tasks that you have to finish in any case. Its not a house of curses it only shows your debits of past wrt to your past karmas and actions you had unknowingly done by moving in Adharamic path due to negligence of intelligence and believing in false ego and proud.
Being the Natural Zodiac house of the Scorpio and 8th house it is related to the Mooladhara chakra whose colour is yellow shows the root energy sit in the Kundalini (8th house) at the bottom of the spine goes toward upward direction to lagana where Sahasara chakra sits, hence planet placed in the 8th house shows beginning of the Kundalini energy rising toward upward direction and how it manifest via the planetary energy.
( Source and Reference: By Visti Larsen Jyotisha Fundamentals)
1) If Moon is there in the 8th house it shows Kundalini activation through Meditation and Mantras.
2) If Ketu is there in the 8th house it shows Kundalini rises suddenly and native need to deal with the sudden burst of energy even they did not performed the spiritual practices earlier.
3) Venus shows awakening of Kundalini via Following celibacy.
4) Saturn Shows Kundalini Awakening via following Discipline and Hatha Yoga but role of Ketu is most important to balance it.
5) Mars shows Awakening via Following Vyayam and practicing physical exercises and preserving Virya.
6) Sun Shows Awakening via Gyana Yoga and Atamic Realization.
7) Jupiter shows via the help of one Guru or Spiritual practices did under a learned guru.
So, those having any number of malefic or beneficial planets in 8th house they need not worry, it’s not meant for you to suffer unknowingly it has some deeper meaning, it’s only a call from the higher divine to Surrender yourself toward him and move ahead in the path of spirituality, Yoga, and Divine union that’s what it shows 11th from 10th house- new beginning (11th) of your karma (10th)
for a society that is needed in this birth.
Only Rahu in the 8th house act as Blockage for Spiritual progress via without strict discipline, it usually disperses the Kundalini energy required to maintain it via Praan Vayu and for moving through via spine, as one cannot able to sacrifice his ego or completely surrender himself toward the almighty.Without total surrender, one can not attain the Kundalini.
In simple language 8th house shows your new spiritual journey toward higher goals, those having planets in 8th house, first Surrender your ego and let move your soul toward a higher journey of hidden secrets of spirituality.
Planets in the 8th House:
Sun in the Eighth House
The focus is on hiding one’s true nature and makes the individual extremely private and secretive. These individuals are blessed with intuition, psychic abilities, deep dreams, and depth of empathy. These individuals often benefit financially from the father or the father’s side of the family. Healing energies are the blessing of this placement and this person often keeps who they are a secret. Many individuals with this placement are drawn to fields such as law enforcement, psychiatry, massage therapy, counseling, detective work and any field that deals with death, change and behind the scenes actions. People with problems and pain are drawn to these individuals for healing. These individuals have a strong, powerful, intense presence.
Moon in the Eighth House
The focus is on concealing the emotions. These individuals are emotional, passionate and sensitive. They feel other people’s pain and the suffering of others weighs on them. They have to learn to protect themselves because they are highly emphatic and absorb all of the secrets and subtle energy in the environment. These individuals often benefit financially or receive an inheritance from the mother or the mother’s side of the family. These individuals suffer through the sacrifice of themselves for others and often in their lives feel victimized emotionally by others. Issues of sexuality often bring confusion and suffering until they find the right person to share intimacy with. These individuals bond through the sexual experience and need not only physical but emotional depth in any relationship.
Mercury in the Eighth House
The focus is on a depth of thought and communication. These individuals need deep communication and intellectual intimacy in relationships. They enjoy sharing their deepest, darkest secrets with others and need others to open up to them verbally. They often keep their thoughts to themselves for fear that others will not understand them. These individuals often think about death and their own mortality and at times worry about this topic. They have a keen, insightful mind and sharp tongue.
Venus in the Eighth House
The energy is focused on keeping the love nature secret and private. These individuals often benefit through the marriage partner and tend to marry someone of a higher financial status than themselves. They are blessed by the partner’s possessions and relationship. Their love nature is deep, possessive and intense.
Mars in the Eighth House
The energy is used to express aggression, drive, and ambition. These individuals often find themselves in conflict with others and with relatives at some time in their lives. The sexual nature is strong with this placement and can become addictive if not balanced. These individuals have intense passions and dramatic shifts in emotion. They feel strongly about things and respond assertively. There is a danger of accidents and surgeries. These individuals need to exercise regularly as it will aid in balanced health. If they repress their natural energies and drives they can find themselves suffering from illnesses. It is important for them to have a healthy outlet for their intense nature.
Jupiter in the Eighth House
The energy is focused towards expansion, abundance and good luck. These individuals often inherit money, land, and goods from the dead. They often are naturally lucky and are looked after by others. They draw financial and material things into their lives easier. This is a positive position of Jupiter and I often see individuals with intuitive gifts that come naturally.
Saturn in the Eighth House
The energy is focused on learning and discipline. These individuals are learning self-control and often repress their desires. Sexual tensions are high with this position and often these individuals are afraid of intimacy. They can overcome this fear by being vulnerable and letting go of the need to control their own emotions. This placement also shows a karmic wound in areas of sexuality, intimacy, relationships, death, and inheritances. The positive manifestations of the eighth house may be blocked with this placement because Saturn is the planet of karmic learning and this process is sometimes painful. The true lesson of this placement is to let go of the past and learn to trust others and themselves.
North Node(Rahu) in the Eighth House
Individuals with North Node in this house are born to be healers. their spiritual mission in this lifetime is to heal others and many do this through energy work such as reiki, pranic healing, yoga, massage therapy and psychotherapy. These individuals are learning to let go of the past and detach from the need for physical, material and emotional security. They must embrace change and oftentimes the universe forces them to change by taking things away from them. This can manifest as divorce, a death of a loved one, loss of job, etc. The purpose of this pain is to force these individuals to become more spiritual and to become the “wounded healer.”
South Node(Ketu) in the Eighth HouseIndividuals with South Node in this house are meant to focus on finding security and balance in their lives. They have been through drama, change, and upheaval in the past and now desire to settle down and find comfort. They are meant to stick with things to completion and not end things before it is time. They are born to accumulate possessions and to focus on practical matters this lifetime.

Case Study: How to analyse Antardasha, Mahadasha and Pratyantar Dasha results of planets if they are placed in 6th, 8th and 12th from Antardasha lord.
Vimshottari Dasha Tip No 2:
Frictional Relationship of Planets with AD Dasha lord.
Period of Antardasha Lord always is a major influential factor in bringing many up’s and down in our lives in a shorter duration of life. Reason being AD lord has a direct relationship with the Mind for influencing thoughts, influencing Environment required for physical understanding. Antar Dasha has a leading role in mental makeup and thought provocation.
What we think what we used to apply in our environment. If Planets are not well placed from AD Lord in Natal and other Divisional charts, the result can differ in many major areas of life but that also depends on certain others factors too, like whether planet placed is malefic or benefic in nature, or is it Exalted or debilitated or is it placed in friendly sign or inimical sign or not.
Now, the question is how?
First rule is AD Lord should be well placed from his own Karka – The Moon, Second factor would be he should be well placed from the Maha-Dasha lord, 3rd factor is He should be well placed from the karka of Maha-Dasha Lord, The Sun and last and most important factor is he should be well placed from the Both Lagna and Lagnesh in D1 and other Divisional charts.
3 Reference points (Sun, Moon and Lagna) and the cycle of 3 has a major role in understanding our life events.
The basic rule is, either it is AD Lord, MD or PD lord it shouldn’t be placed in trik Bhavas (6th, 8th and 12th) from the Lagna, if it is maleficial in nature wrt to the lagna or if it is functional malefic in nature wrt to the lagna.
Why Lagna?
Because it is the first-most symbol of the Body, health and intelligence. How we apply our intelligence and how placement has gone reacts to the body that primarily depends on the placement of the AD Lord in the natal chart. Lagna is a physical plane, everything happening w.r.t to our body is seen from Lagna.
If AD lord is in trik bhavas to the Lagna it shows Our mind is not synced w.r.t to the body and intelligence correctly in an ordered manner, if it is placed in Upachya Sthan from the Lagna, our mind is querying to the lagna that we want certain improvement in that area, so it shows a continuous area of life where we need to keep working on it. Placement of Ad lord In Kendra to the Lagna shows Narayana Blessing is with us for sustaining our Mundane needs and desires are fulfilled. Placement of AD Lord in trines shows Laxmi Blessing is with us for improvement of certain areas of life via This birth learned Skills (1st), Guru blessings (9th) and Past birth punya Karmas (5th). Here one can rise by own efforts, Trikonas shows one’s efforts, learning’s, and learned skills (Anubhava).
Planetary placement in the Divisional chart shows the status of our Subconscious plane and how we can change our kiryamani karma in future life actions. So placement of the AD lord in Divisional charts has much says on a micro level.
But There are certainly other factors too we need to see from the Natal chart, those can directly create frictions with respect to the AD lord and result will be like wastage and expenditure of energy on useless matters and issues regarding those houses during those AD Lord Dasha periods.
Now the question is what are frictional relationships ??
In Jamini and Prashari system we called frictional relations as Aragala’s and in Nadi system, we called them as a basic Thumb rule for understanding planetary results of any planet in Nadi but I used to call them as Frictional planets. Means planets those can waste our efforts and initiatives even if AD lord is well placed in the natal chart still those frictional planets can waste our energy and efforts uselessly with no results in hands.
According to Sage parashara, Argala is a kind of influence that a planet expresses on another planet in a beneficial or malefic way as a result of 3rd party influencing factor.
If a planet or House puts Argala on other Planet, it means that it can act like as creating an intervention in the matters of others by the direct or indirect mean. This intervention or influencing factor can be beneficial or malefic depending upon the nature of the Argala creating a planet. The beneficial planet gives positive argala and malefic planets gives negative argala.
If an Argala creating planet is Paapagraha (malefic in nature), an intervention will be in a negative way while in a case of Shubha-graha, an intervention will be in a positive way. The positive intervention will help in getting resources in an indirect way, providing good environment, the capability of the planet to add something to that particular house and Negative intervention will do the same.
Shubha Argala is formed if natural Shubha planets are placed in the second, fourth, fifth and eleventh house from the Argala house.
Here Jupiter, Mercury, Sun and Mars giving Shubh Argala to the Lagna. Lagna is what good health, Name, Fame and resources. So Jupiter gone help in Getting good food, resources in financial terms, and support from family, Elderly and people are in teachers or guru. Mars, Sun and Mars will help in getting gain from friends and social circle to the Lagna.
Malefic intervention or Virodh-argala shows the obstruction of argala on that house or planet.If it is placed in the 12th, 10th, 3rd and 9th houses from a house or planet that cause virodh-argala and obstruct the argala on it from the 2nd, 4th, 11th and 5th houses from it (respectively).
Here, in an above-mentioned chart, There is total absence of Virodh-argala on Lagna that means Native will do positive via Shubh argalas (Via Positive influence).
Take another example, let say there is a Shubha Argala on the 7th house, it means it will help in getting smoothness in married life if beneficial planets are planets in 8th house (2nd house from the 7th), 8th house beneficial planets without any nodal influence will help marriage in much smoother way, might be couple try save their mutual findings in a better way for better life, their sex life would be much better and balanced, via their mutual savings might they can better feed their married life for better growth But while in the opposite case i.e if malefic planets are placed in 10th house, there will be a papargala (malefic or negative intervention) in 7th house, Means downfall in marriage life or downfall in career of the native due to Marriage issues or after the marriage or due to the negative circumstances in career and marriage life gone suffer.
So we need to understand the concept deeply, whether it is properly working or not. I will explain this concept in deep in another post. My current motive was to explain basic factor here is to understand nature of frictions of planets wrt to the AD lord.
So, Coming to the original topic, here are the Rules to check those frictional planets from AD Lord.
Rule Number 1:
Check Whether AD lord is placed in trines or Kendras from the Moon sign or Moon Lagna or not, for any fruitful results in AD period. If there is malefic planet AD is going on and if it is placed in 6th, 8th and 12th from the Moon sign, possibility is that result won’t be much satisfactory or not according to the state of mind or might be not according to the expectations or not according to what native has decided it earlier, so native might not be getting it accordingly. But exceptions are still there with basic fundamentals are still required for finding strength of the planet for any results. So, one has to decide it carefully
before drawing any final conclusions while considering many others aspects too before approaching to any final results.If the AD lord is Beneficially disposed wrt to the Moon lagna and badly placed in Natal chart then results might not be much beneficial. Even in Malefic case when the AD lord planet is Exalted or it is placed in friendly sign from the Moon lagna or the malefic planet is functional beneficial in nature wrt to natal chart it will gives good results. So, one should have to consider many other aspects too.
Generally, it has been seen that whenever AD lord is placed in 6th, 8th or 12th house from the moon (Generally in case of malefic’s, if it is functionally malefic to the lagna) resources would be less available or environment won’t be much supportive to the native.I n another hand, Person might face issues in finances, as we have seen Moon for liquidity, cash flow and total financial status or financial opportunities during those periods.
He might feel uncomfortable in those environments or in the work opportunities he may not be fully interested or not willing to do his work with his full efforts or with full passionate desire. This has been seen much true in the case if the AD Lord is functionally malefic in nature wrt to the lagna. Functionally Beneficial planets those are placed in 6th, 8th and 12th from the Moon somehow give moderate results. Whereas Venus, Jupiter and Mercury’s AD always has many capabilities to give good results during those periods when they are placed in 6th, 8th or 12th from the Moon sign.
In Case of Functionally malefic especially Mars, Saturn and Nodes, they usually gives much stress-full life, stiff finances, and sometimes major health issues too or certain blockages in finances.
But it can be minimised too at much extent if any of these above mentioned planets are placed in Exaltation, friendly signs from 6th, 8th or 12th from the Moon sign.
Thumb rule is, Simply never expect results according to your expected state of mind makeup or what you are expecting from long, for friendly comfortable environment, whenever any planet is placed in 6th, 8th or 12th from the Moon sign or the AD dasha lord.But if same Malefic or Beneficial AD lord is well placed in either of 5th, 9th and 1st house from Moon, results would be totally different and scenario would be comfortable or totally opposite.
Usually, I have seen whenever AD Lord is not well placed from the Moon sign, Mind and thoughts usually feels like restless, loss of energy, no decision making, Loss of fruitful or creative ideas or blocked thoughts and would be having feeling of an uncomfortable situation in whatever environment one is going through. If AD Lord is not well placed from 6th, 8th and 12th houses in inimical Signs or nakshatras from Moon, as native usually get environment those are very rigid in nature or possibility will be result not according to will and wish or based on own choices of decisions.
If AD lord is well placed in trine from Moon i.e from Kendra or trine to the Moon lagna, native will always feel like creative, energetic and dynamic in actions and thoughts and always have positive moods and vibrations to accomplish any task.
Moon simply represents environment and resources you are getting from external factors, it can be stiff or it can be comfortable that totally depends on how your AD lord is well placed from Both Natal and Moon chart. Though Natal chart shows your Physical conditions and environments you may get because of your efforts and actions but Moon lagna shows how well you can mentally respond to those situations and conditions if those are not comfortable to thoughts situation would be stiff and tough.
If the AD lord is well placed from the Moon chart, positive Ideas will keep picking up like you are feeling like a scientist who can invent any thought into fruitful actions during that dasha period.Mostly I have seen In trine relationship Native, mostly expects Beneficial events from both material and spiritual Point of view based on the lordship of the planet in Natal chart. The mind will always experience gain in the House representing in the natal chart.
Rule Number 2:
Check whether any Functionally malefic planet is placed in 2nd, 12th and 8th from AD lord or not. If there is Planet placed in 2nd, 12th and 8th from the AD lord, then that house has much capability of giving malefic results to the AD lord planet like wasting efforts, unknown obstacles and can mostly creates hurdles and obstacles in fulfilling any task easily.
It’s like creating unwanted problems from that planet w.r.t to the house. Issues pertaining to those houses will always be in limelight in that AD Period. This is simply like in a parliament 1 member is keep arguing or keep opposing your viewpoints or keep creating unwanted problems to you, it can be unwanted or can be open challenges that totally dependent on nature of that planet w.r.t to AD lord planet. Mostly i have seen person often feels like his efforts or actions are wasting and going in vain and he always feels like unnecessary obstacles are troubling him and facing hurdles in accomplishing any task he undertakes. Usually, his positive energy always spent on or focus on those matters where those malefic planets are in placed in.
If Same AD Lord is stuck in between malefic planets in 12th and 2nd house from each other, whole energy of mind will be spent on matters of 12th and 2nd house from that AD Lord.This usually creates a situation of Bandhan yoga where AD lord always feels helpless to accomplish any task. If 12th house from the AD lord planet has Functionally malefic planet w.r.t AD lord the whole dasha period will be like painful or duration won’t be easy to survive.
12th from AD Lord means where you are always focusing or spending your energy whole heartily in one direction, it can be an expenditure of energy in malefic way or can be in a beneficial way that totally depends on a planet is beneficial or malefic placed in the 2nd and 12th house from AD Lord.
If there is malefic planet placed in 12th house from AD lord, your mental energy will always be going in direction of expenditures or distraction, issue and matter pertaining to that house will always be key for that AD period. for e,g If Rahu is placed in 12th from Sun AD period, and if same Rahu is placed in 5th house in the natal chart.
It Simply means that Rahu won’t let the sun to breathe easily, it keep giving issues related to 5th house i.e health troubles to children’s, Home environment would be mess because of love affairs, Native may always feel restless or cheated in relationship and Education can give problems to native and there can be many issues regarding 5th house which native can experience during that Sun AD period.
we have to only see the deep link with AD Lord. 2nd house from AD Lord is like feed or food to the AD Lord, if it is beneficial Dasha will be in a comfortable state like a bed of roses. If it is malefic AD Lord will be like in a helpless position during that Dasha period like walking in a cactus road. So, always see which planet is going to act like frictional toward AD lord planet.12th, 2nd and 8th house from AD are like Frictional planets.
In Jamini System we use these terms as Shubh Argala, Paap Argala and virodh argala to that house.
In General 8th from the AD, lord planet means suffering on account of that house during that Dasha period if it is case of functional malefic.
Take an Example Chart,
Here Native MD lord is Moon placed in 9th house in exaltation with AD Lord Sun and Mercury and 3 malefic planets are placed in 12th from It in 8th house. Sun AD started from February onward and native started facing lots of issue wrt to health, Loss in Fathers business (9th Lord in 8th), Loss in luck (Bhadkesha as well as 9th Lord in 8th house with 6th and 8th lord Saturn with 4th lord Ketu, shows lots of family issues and troubles and also Vastu dosha too also seen form the chart). Family issues are clearly seen from the (4th Lord in 8th) chart as 4th Lord Ketu is with 7th and 6th lord Saturn and also under the influence of Nodes too.
The problem in higher education (Saturn placed in 8th house, falling in 12th from the 9th house of higher education and aspects 5th house, showing delays and obstacles in completing education) also seen from the chart, Native is facing breaks and hurdles in Bachelor degree.
Here good point is that the Native is getting support from the 10th house as Venus placed in own sign but due to 12th from the Moon, MD and AD having 3 malefic planets are placed in 8th house, Native not able to fully concentrate on his studies, fathers business and own career establishment, As whole of his energy is focused on 12th house from it.
Here Solution lies in the strengthening (Where Sun is exalted) of the 9th house Karka – Both Sun and Jupiter. Here the 9th house is getting aspect from Jupiter via 5th house, So Native need to go under the shelter of Guru blessings and he need to get Mantra Deeksha from the Learned guru, as Jupiter is falling in trine from the 9th house, Jupiter will provide strength to the 9th house.
Another thing is, as Lagnesh is Exalted in 9th house, he needs to visit Rameshwaram Temple with his father to fully activate his 9th house properties. As Venus is placed in Kendra sthan(Vishnu Sthan) in Taurus , is acting as feeder or Sustainer for the 9th house, being fallen in 2nd from it, So, Native father and his mother Need to visit Laxmi-Narayana ( Tirupati Balaji) Temple in south of India to get fully strengthen his Career, luck and father (Printing and Designing, Represented by Venus) Business in track.
For Resolving Family Matters, Bhadkesha lord is placed in Fixed sign in d9 and also afflicted in 8th house with nodes and Saturn in D1, Native need to Fix his South (Mars – Direction) corner of the house via Vastu Remedies.
Case Study 2,
Here Native MD Lord Jupiter is placed in the 12th house with 1st and 10th lord Mercury and Marnakarka Sun(lord of 12th in 12th house) and Antardasha lord Moon is placed in the 5th house having a relation of 6/8 with each other that shows somehow mind is not perfectly sync with the body and somehow Moon AD can be much troublesome in some matters and would be difficult in many Matters related to the 12th houses (i.e Health, Sleeplessness, Father health’s, Career Break), as 12th lord Dispositer Sun is also weakly placed in 12th clearly showing house is weak.
During her Moon AD under Jupiter MD period Native faced lots of traumatic events Wrt to his career, own health issues, and majorly faced Father health issues, as Sun is placed in Marnakarka sthan from the Lagna and also placed in 8th from the Dasha lord and Moon too.
Native lost his father in Sun/Moon AD period Around Jan-Feb 2017 and she is still under the distressed situation because the moon has lost his moral and mental strength for regaining the inner emotional and motivational strength, as there are none of beneficial planets placed on either side from the moon.
Moreover, Aspect of Mars somehow also exaggerating the current mental state into fierce form due to anger and frustration she is facing because of unknown troubles she is facing and many a time it would be a tough call for her to manage her emotional aggression. During this tenure, She also left her Job in Moon AD period after her father death, as 10th lord Mercury is also placed in 8th from the AD lord Moon with the Bhadkesha lord Jupiter too placed in 12th house and 12th house is totally under the influence of Paap Kratiri yoga, Rahu and Saturn both are placed in either side.
Even she also faced tuberculosis issue in her neck after Feb 2017 too. During this period, she faced both the financial as well an emotional issues and both were in peak during this whole of Moon Antar Dasha period.
During the PD period of Mercury and Ketu In December-January 2016-17 native again started facing issues wrt to her mother health reason being 4th, Lagnesh and 7th, 10th Lord all are placed in 8th from the AD lord Moon,and moreover Moon is afflicted by nodes and mars too.Even D12 chart also shows affliction on Both sun and moon.
Moreover, Moon is Ak as well as deeply afflicted by the nodes and Mars aspecting it from the 2nd house too. So moon Dasha period seems to be very tough for her emotional as well as other family issues to manage such problems from every side. As there are no beneficial planets are placed in 12th and 2nd from it. Here, Solution lies in only strengthening and propitiating the strongest Planet placed from the Natal chart with the strengthening of the Karka, The Moon for her better Mental state and mother health.
For her blocked career growth, she needs to start worshipping Goddess Laxmi daily or need to visit any Shakti Peeth to get stronger the Venus. Luckily Native has a deep infatuation for the Mata Vaishno Devi from the beginning of her age, So suggested for same.
For Improvement of her own health, Mental stability and mother health Native advised to visit Somnath temple to do Shiva Rudra Abhishek to strengthen the weak and afflicted Moon.This way she will start getting blessings from Lord Shiva.
As per the early Ancient observations the four days commencing from the eighth day in the light half of the month of jyestha (i.e 4 days after the mid of the month of the may and June – from 15th may to 15th June, it can be varied) fall in may and June month are Known as Vayu Dharan Days (Pregnancy days of Clouds) – The days when the movements of the wind seen and observed in the jyestha month freely from North-west to East direction with full of rich amount of moisture in it.
Those 4 days when the wind is heavy moving near around moon movement in Swati to visakha nakashtra are a vital clue for judging the nature of health of the Pregnancy of the rain-clouds for up-coming monsoon seasons.
Here observation of wind direction and its richness with Apah (moisture), movement in these particular 4 days is most important.If there is no wind in those 4 days we can expect coming months will be much dry in nature as well as humidity will be more.
If there are enough winds in those 4 days, should be like gentle, agreeable and if the Sky Should be covered by fine, bright clouds than there will be the possibility of good rainfall in Monsoon else monsoon will be a bit delayed and level of humidity will be more.
If there is rainfall during Swati to Viskhka Nakshatra for full 4 days then we can say with surety that the monsoon is near to Shower full of insistent rainfall in Shravana to Karttika Month (August to November) else there will be the possibility of drought like situation in the rainy season.
This is an easiest way to time entry of monsoon via own sense of judgement and to get clear understanding on clue for rainfall during Sharavana and Karttika month. The only thing required is you need to keep observing the movement in the sky, the direction, and pregnancy of winds and clouds.
This year Vayu Dharan process started after ” 25th of May 2017 onward when moon was entered in Jyestha Amavasya and those 8 light half days started from “25th of May to 1st of June 2017″, after those light half days, 4 Vayu Dahran Days started around “5th of June to 8th of June 2017 “ when moon was transiting in Swati to visakha Nakshatra around poorniamsya(Full moon day), closely in contact with mercury shows this year In north of India Monsoon will be good and there will be plenty of rainfall.
Did anyone observed good winds, cool breeze or Rainfall during this period ????, If they had missed that opportunity, here is an another opportunity to closely observe the weather in up coming days.
If Anyone hasn’t yet started observing the sky or weather scenario after sun Mithun Sankranti, from yesterday onward (15th of June 2017), @ mrigshira parvesh or they had missed Vayu Dharan Process after ” 9th to 12th June”.
Here is another time for amateurs Rainman observers or an upcoming opportunity to analyze current monsoon weather scenario for your state or place. Via this tips you can understand how monsoon will take shape in coming days.
Below are the points required for Mundane analysis of rainfall, please note it down and carefully follows those. here are the tips shows what you have to do now:
1) See the direction of the wind first, it should be from North- east/ west to south, See the speed, See the depth, See the content of moisture in it, Show how warm or cold it is, See the level of storm factor in it.If it is stormy in nature Chances of pregnancy will be wash away by the fierce wind.If the wind is full of cold and smooth in movement, rainfall will fall soon.The direction of winds shows how it will cover the moisture in the atmosphere, usually if air is smooth moisture will always be in intact with the wind.
2) See the cloud movement from Northwest to South in the sky, Observe its motion – Moving or it is still or stays for a much longer period or not, See the color of the clouds.See how close clouds are moving toward the surface.More they are closer to the surface, better chances are for cold weather and cool breeze.During the day of rainfall, there will be slight warmness in the environment.
3) Note down the atmospheric pressure, if it is too much humidity in the atmosphere with Warm weather or if it is the hot windy environment, Rain will be delayed.If it is a cool breeze in air rain will follow soon.you can observe the content of water in Atmosphere. If it is high-pressure weather will be good but it will delay rainfall on coming days. If it is Low pressure after some period of rainfall will be there soon when the moon will transit to Jala Nadis with nodes or Jala Grahas around Mercury or Venus in Jala signs ( Cancer, Scorpio, and Pisces)
3) If there are blackish or bluish clouds sky and are very close to the surface or place where they appear, rainfall will come soon within 5 to 7 days soon after Surya enters in Ardara Nakashtra.Currently, Sun will be with Mercury so chances of rainfall will be more especially in Eastern and Northern India.
4) Watch carefully the wind intensity, Speed, Motion, denseness, if it is stormy, dry and warm in nature rain will be delayed.Hot winds have the capacity to clear the low pressure in air.
5) If during Sankranti some rainfall has come, or you observed water content in the air, or Cold factor in wind its an indication rainfall will be good in upcoming monsoon season soon after Ardara parvesh of the sun.
6) Observe the birds, animals and aquatic animals movement in the sky and land both, if u see lots of birds moving in the sky, especially those came around Swati nakshatra, then chances of rain will be high in your environment and rainfall will be good.Birds Sounding in environment indicates that weather will be good.Their movement and nature show the intuition they got from nature.
According to Vedic Medini techniques based on mapping of Koorma and Saptanadi chakra current ongoing Heatwave scenario will be difficult to face for almost most of the part of Indian region.
Currently, Mercury ingressed on 3rd of June 2017 on Kritika Nakshatra ruled by Prachnadna Nadi (Usually Gives huge blow of the wind in the atmosphere) with Sun in Rohini Nakshatra ruled by Vayu Nadi (Gives Normal volume of winds). More the Mercury keep on Moving closer to Sun in Kritika Nakshatra till 9th of June, Heat waves scenario will keep on increasing from central of India to Northern and rest of Eastern states.Chances of windy Heatwave spell and atmospheric pressure will keep on increasing across India.Air will have more of the content of heat and low-pressure atmospheric humidity due to its ongoing movement in Taurus, transiting behind the sun in Prachanda nadi ruled by Saturn, that is currently transiting retrograde in Gandanta Rasi (Sagittarius-Scorpio) in Aries Amsa.More the Saturn will move faster in a backward direction toward Scorpio more it will give semi-dryness and high amount moisture in the atmosphere.
Majorly “ Kritika, Vishakha, Anuradha and Bharni Nakshatras “ are categorized in Prachanda Nadi (Chanda Nadi) ruled by Saturn, usually increases dryness in the atmosphere.Prachanda Nadi usually gives a huge blow of wind, Vayu Nadi have the capacity to give a normal volume of winds and Agni Nadi gives Immense Heat and warm weather.
Till 9th of June whole central (from MP, Maharashtra, Chattisgarh) and North India will be under the scanner of dry heat wave spell with increasing amount of dryness in the atmosphere, meanwhile air will have content of extreme hotness too, so this way heat and air will go hand on hand in equal ratio.
Temperature could move around 43, 45 to 47 degree Celsius Till 9th of June 2017.After 9th of June 2017, Mercury will conjugate with Sun in Rohini Nakshatra in Vayu Nadi that somehow will minimize huge blow of the wind which we are experiencing after 3rd of June 2017.Air pressure will increase due to close conjunction with the Sun in Rohini nakshatra, though Taurus has 50% chances of water content shows normal rainfall during this course of movement with the sun, windy heat wave spell with moisture in it will increase from Central India to further Western and north of India.
In Southern India, Extreme Heat waves and low atmospheric pressure will increase over South-West states soon in Kerala, AP, and the rest of SW States after 15th of June, @05:20:00 HR (Exactly When Sun will Move over Mrigshara Nakashtra) which can give possibility to have good amount of rainfall soon after ingress of sun over mrigshara nakshatra.Entry of Sun over Mrigshara Nakashtra with Mars and aspect of Saturn will give high chances of thundering, air storm or the possibility of a rainstorm over Kerala.
Further, it will move over North of India around 22nd of June 2015@05:00:13 HR, when Sun will move over Ardara Nakashtra at 6′ 40 ” in Gemini with mercury and mars.
Entry of SW monsoon in North of India comes with lots dry and windy spell.The possibility of Heavy wind spell, Excessive heat waves or Storm could come with this ingress of the sun over Ardara (Soumya Nadi ruled by Jupiter) with Mars and Mercury.
North and Eastern Indians States be alert, higher possibility of hot wind and rainstorm could come over these states soon. Here, The role of Sun and Mars is most important; If both Sun and Mars are closely conjugated or having close relations in the same house in Ardara Parvesh chakra, usually it gives intense dry and warm weather for that year and there will be chances of intense heat waves before the start of monsoon. Usually, we have seen, If Sun is behind Mars in transit chart, there will be the possibility of no rains for whole monsoon season.
In this season Mars is closely conjugated with Sun that would be a matter of concern for this year monsoon season for good rainfall requirement.
“Ardara, Hasta, Poorva ashadha , Uttrabhadra “ fall in Soumya Nadi ruled by Jupiter that is indicative of good rainfall or we can also say a good weather scenario can be predicted if benefic planets are transiting over Ardara nakshatra with Sun but this year more of Agni Tatva planets are closely linked with Ardara nakshatra, so chances are less for good amount of rainfall for end of june to next mid of July 2017.
Eastern states including Jammu, Delhi, UP and Punjab – Get ready for Dry heat spell with the possibility of light rainstorm after 22nd of June 2017.
Change in Rain scenario across India will come after 4th of July 2017 when Mercury will move over cancer sign and overall good rain will be there after 22nd of July 2017 when Sun and Mercury will be deeply conjugated over Pushya nakshatra.
Complete Sanskrit and Hindi Translation of Naryana kavach by Geeta Press Embedded
The Narayana Kavacham is a prayer dedicated to the Lord Maha-Vishnu for any sort of trouble, either it is seen or unseen. One can immensely benefit by chanting this sacred stotra from any sort of danger, by removing obstacles from their lives.
The Narayana Kavacham occurs in chapter eight of the sixth skandha of Bhagavata Purana. It is an Armour of Lord Mahavishnu to protect ourselves from any sort of enemies.
The Story Begins:
Raja Parikshith, the son of Abhimanyu, asks his teacher, Sage Shuka for a means to protect himself from his enemies. Sage Shuka then teaches him the Narayana Kavacham, which was originally taught by Sage Viswaroopa, the son of Thwashtra, to Indra. It is believed that the soul of the man who reads this Kavacha becomes extremely holy and that anyone who reads this would be protected by Lord Vishnu.Once a time demons have gained enormous strength under the protection of their Guru Shukra acharya. The demi-gods became weak as their king lost the courage to win over demons, at the same time Indra humiliated Guru Brihaspathi and lost the Guru protection. Then the demi-Gods approached sage Viswaroopa for protection.He initiated Indra the great Narayana Kavach as mentioned in Srimad Bhagavata Purana 6th Skanda, 8th chapter. After Reciting and installing Kavach in Hridya, Indra regained his lost strength and tamed the demons.
About Narayana Kavach
Narayana Kavach is a very brief Stotra containing only 42 shlokas. It is to be read once in a day. It takes hardly 10 minutes. First, we have to apply the Lord Vishnu on all parts of our body. This process is called Anga-nyas and kara-nyas.
Source of Narayana Kavach
The text of Narayana Kavach is available in Vyas Srimad Bhagwat Purana, 6th Skanda. You can browse https://prabhupadabooks.com/sb/6/8. This chapter describes how Indra, the King of heaven, was victorious over the soldiers of the demons, and it also describes the shield of the Vishnu mantra.
The Process of Recitation
This chapter describes how Indra, the King of heaven, was victorious over the soldiers of the demons, and it also describes the shield of the Viṣṇu mantra.
To take protection from this shield, one must first touch kuśa grass and wash one’s mouth with ācamana-mantras. One should observe silence and then place the eight-syllable Viṣṇu mantra on the parts of his body and place the twelve-syllable mantra on his hands. The eight-syllable mantra is oṁ namonārāyaṇāya. This mantra should be distributed all over the front and back of the body. The twelve-syllable mantra, which begins with the praṇava, oṁkāra, is oṁ namo bhagavate vāsudevāya.
One syllable should be placed on each of the fingers and should be preceded by the praṇava, oṁkāra. Thereafter, one must chant oṁ viṣṇave namaḥ, which is a six-syllable mantra.
One must progressively place the syllables of the mantra on the heart, the head, between the two eyebrows, on the śikhā and between the eyes, and then one should chant maḥ astrāya phaṭ and with this mantra protect himself from all directions.
Nādevo devamarcayet: one who has not risen to the level of a deva cannot chant this mantra. According to this direction of the śāstra, one must think himself qualitatively nondifferent from the Supreme.
After finishing this dedication, one must offer a prayer to the eight-armed Lord Viṣṇu, who sits on the shoulders of Garuḍadeva. One also has to think of the fish incarnation, Vāmana, Kūrma, Nṛsiṁha, Varāha. Paraśurāma, Rāmacandra (the elder brother of Lakṣmaṇa). Nara-Nārāyaṇa, Dattātreya (an empowered incarnation), Kapila, Sanat-kumāra, Hayagrīva, Nāradadeva (the incarnation of a devotee). Dhanvantari, Ṛṣabhadeva, Yajña, Balarāma, Vyāsadeva, Buddhadeva and Keśava.
One should also think of Govinda, the master of Vṛndāvana. and one should think of Nārāyaṇa, the master of the spiritual sky. One should think of Madhusūdana, Tridhāmā, Mādhava, Hṛṣīkeśa, Padmanābha, Janārdana, Dāmodara and Viśveśvara, as well as the Supreme Personality of Godhead Kṛṣṇa Himself.
After offering prayers to the Lord’s personal expansions known as the svāṁśa and śaktyāveśa-avatāras, one should pray to the weapons of Lord Nārāyaṇa, such as the Sudarśana, gadā, śaṅkha, khaḍga and bow.

Then one should touch kuśa grass and sit gravely and silently, facing north. When completely purified, one should touch the mantra composed of eight syllables to the eight parts of his body and touch the mantra composed of twelve syllables to his hands. Thus, in the following manner, he should bind himself with the Nārāyaṇa coat of armor. First, while chanting the mantra composed of eight syllables [oṁ namonārāyaṇāya], beginning with the praṇava, the syllable oṁ, one should touch his hands to eight parts of his body, starting with the two feet and progressing systematically to the knees, thighs, abdomen, heart, chest, mouth and head. Then one should chant the mantra in reverse, beginning from the last syllable [ya], while touching the parts of his body in the reverse order. These two processes are known as utpatti-nyāsa and saṁhāra-nyāsa respectively.

TRANSLATION
The Supreme Lord, who sits on the back of the bird Garuḍa, touching him with His lotus feet, holds eight weapons—the conchshell, disc, shield, sword, club, arrows, bow and ropes. May that Supreme Personality of Godhead protect me at all times with His eight arms. He is all-powerful because He fully possesses the eight mystic powers [aṇimā, laghimā, etc.].
PURPORT
Thinking oneself one with the Supreme is called ahaṅgrahopāsanā. Through ahaṅgrahopāsanā one does not become God, but he thinks of himself as qualitatively one with the Supreme. Understanding that as a spirit soul he is equal in quality to the supreme soul the way the water of a river is of the same nature as the water of the sea, one should meditate upon the Supreme Lord, as described in this verse, and seek His protection. The living entities are always subordinate to the Supreme. Consequently their duty is to always seek the mercy of the Lord in order to be protected by Him in all circumstances.
TEXT 13

TRANSLATION
May the Lord, who assumes the body of a great fish, protect me in the water from the fierce animals that are associates of the demigod Varuṇa.

Since the gigantic form of the Lord, Viśvarūpa, conquers the three worlds, may He protect me in the sky.
PURPORT
This mantra seeks the protection of the Supreme Personality of Godhead in the water, land and sky in His incarnations as the fish, Vāmanadeva and the Viśvarūpa.

TRANSLATION
May Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, who appeared as the enemy of Hiraṇyakaśipu, protect me in all directions. His loud laughing vibrated in all directions and caused the pregnant wives of the asuras to have miscarriages. May that Lord be kind enough to protect me in difficult places like the forest and battlefront.

TRANSLATION
The Supreme indestructible Lord is ascertained through the performance of ritualistic sacrifices and is therefore known as Yajñeśvara. In His incarnation as Lord Boar, He raised the planet earth from the water at the bottom of the universe and kept it on His pointed tusks. May that Lord protect me from rogues on the street. May Paraśurāma protect me on the tops of mountains, and may the elder brother of Bharata, Lord Rāmacandra, along with His brother Lakṣmaṇa, protect me in foreign countries.
PURPORT

TRANSLATION
May Lord Nārāyaṇa protect me from unnecessarily following false religious systems and falling from my duties due to madness. May the Lord in His appearance as Nara protect me from unnecessary pride. May Lord Dattātreya, the master of all mystic power, protect me from falling while performing bhakti-yoga, and may Lord Kapila, the master of all good qualities, protect me from the material bondage of fruitive activities.

TRANSLATION
May Sanat-kumāra protect me from lusty desires. As I begin some auspicious activity, may Lord Hayagrīva protect me from being an offender by neglecting to offer respectful obeisances to the Supreme Lord. May DevarṣiNārada protect me from committing offenses in worshiping the Deity, and may Lord Kūrma, the tortoise, protect me from falling to the unlimited hellish planets.
PURPORT
Lusty desires are very strong in everyone, and they are the greatest impediment to the discharge of devotional service. Therefore those who are very much influenced by lusty desires are advised to take shelter of Sanat-kumāra, the great brahmacārī devotee.
Nārada Muni, who is the guide for arcana, is the author of the Nārada-pañcarātra, which prescribes the regulative principles for worshiping the Deity. Everyone engaged in Deity worship, whether at home or in the temple, should always seek the mercy of Devarṣi Nārada in order to avoid the thirty-two offenses while worshiping the Deity. These offenses in Deity worship are mentioned in The Nectar of Devotion.

May the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His incarnation as Dhanvantari relieve me from undesirable eatables and protect me from physical illness. May Lord Ṛṣabhadeva, who conquered His inner and outer senses, protect me from fear produced by the duality of heat and cold. May Yajña protect me from defamation and harm from the populace, and may Lord Balarāma as Śeṣa protect me from envious serpents.
PURPORT
To live within this material world, one must face many dangers, as described herein. For example, undesirable food poses a danger to health, and therefore one must give up such food. The Dhanvantari incarnation can protect us in this regard. Since Lord Viṣṇu is the Supersoul of all living entities, if He likes He can save us from adhibhautika disturbances, disturbances from other living entities. Lord Balarāma is the Śeṣa incarnation, and therefore He can save us from angry serpents or envious persons, who are always ready to attack.
TEXT 19
dvaipāyano bhagavān aprabodhād
buddhas tu pāṣaṇḍa-gaṇa-pramādāt
kalkiḥ kaleḥ kāla-malāt prapātu
dharmāvanāyoru-kṛtāvatāraḥ
TRANSLATION
May the Personality of Godhead in His incarnation as Vyāsadeva protect me from all kinds of ignorance resulting from the absence of Vedic knowledge. May Lord Buddhadeva protect me from activities opposed to Vedic principles and from laziness that causes one to madly forget the Vedic principles of knowledge and ritualistic action. May Kalkideva, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, who appeared as an incarnation to protect religious principles, protect me from the dirt of the age of Kali.
PURPORT
This verse mentions various incarnations of the Supreme Personality of Godhead who appear for various purposes. Śrīla Vyāsadeva, Mahāmuni, compiled the Vedic literature for the benefit of all human society. If one wants to be protected from the reactions of ignorance even in this age of Kali, one may consult the books left by Śrīla Vyāsadeva, Upaniṣads, Vedānta-sūtra (Brahma-sūtra), Mahābhārata, Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam Mahā-Purāṇa (Vyāsadeva’s commentary on the Brahma-sūtra) and the other seventeen Purāṇas. Only by the mercy of Śrīla Vyāsadeva do we have so many volumes of transcendental knowledge to save us from the clutches of ignorance.
As described by Śrīla Jayadeva Gosvāmī in his Daśāvatāra-stotra, Lord Buddha apparently decried the Vedic knowledge:
The mission of Lord Buddha was to save people from the abominable activity of animal killing and to save the poor animals from being unnecessarily killed. When pāṣaṇḍīs were cheating by killing animals on the plea of sacrificing them in Vedic yajñas, the Lord said, “If the Vedic injunctions allow animal killing, I do not accept the Vedic principles.” Thus he actually saved people who acted according to Vedic principles. One should therefore surrender to Lord Buddha so that he can help one avoid misusing the injunctions of the Vedas.
The Kalki avatāra is the fierce incarnation who vanquishes the class of the atheists born in this age of Kali. Now, in the beginning of Kali-yuga, many irreligious principles are in effect, and as Kali-yuga advances, many pseudo religious principles will certainly be introduced, and people will forget the real religious principles enunciated by Lord Kṛṣṇa before the beginning of Kali-yuga, namely principles of surrender unto the lotus feet of the Lord. Unfortunately, because of Kali-yuga, foolish people do not surrender to the lotus feet of Kṛṣṇa. Even most people who claim to belong to the Vedic system of religion are actually opposed to the Vedic principles. Every day they manufacture a new type of dharma on the plea that whatever one manufactures is also a path of liberation. Atheistic men generally say, yata mata tata patha.
According to this view, there are hundreds and thousands of different opinions in human society, and each opinion is a valid religious principle. This philosophy of rascals has killed the religious principles mentioned in the Vedas, and such philosophies will become increasingly influential as Kali-yuga progresses. In the last stage of Kali-yuga, Kalkideva, the fierce incarnation of Keśava, will descend to kill all the atheists and will save only the devotees of the Lord.

PURPORT
According to Vedic astronomical calculations, day and night are each divided into thirty ghaṭikās (twenty-four minutes), instead of twelve hours. Generally, each day and each night is divided into six parts consisting of five ghaṭikās. In each of these six portions of the day and night, the Lord may be addressed for protection according to different names. Lord Keśava, the proprietor of the holy place of Mathurā, is the Lord of the first portion of the day, and Govinda, the Lord of Vṛndāvana. is the master of the second portion.

TRANSLATION
May the glorification of the transcendental name, form, qualities and paraphernalia of the Supreme Personality of Godhead protect us from the influence of bad planets, meteors, envious human beings, serpents, scorpions, and animals like tigers and wolves. May it protect us from ghosts and the material elements like earth, water, fire and air, and may it also protect us from lightning and our past sins. We are always afraid of these hindrances to our auspicious life. Therefore, may they all be completely destroyed by the chanting of the HareKṛṣṇa mahā-mantra.
Lord Garuḍa, the carrier of Lord Viṣṇu, is the most worshipable lord, for he is as powerful as the Supreme Lord Himself. He is the personified Vedas and is worshiped by selected verses. May he protect us from all dangerous conditions, and may Lord Viṣvaksena, the Personality of Godhead, also protect us from all dangers by His holy names.

TRANSLATION
May the Supreme Personality of Godhead’s holy names, His transcendental forms, His carriers and all the weapons decorating Him as personal associates protect our intelligence, senses, mind and life air from all dangers.
PURPORT
There are various associates of the transcendental Personality of Godhead, and His weapons and carrier are among them. In the spiritual world, nothing is material. The sword, bow, club, disc and everything decorating the personal body of the Lord are spiritual living force. Therefore the Lord is called advaya jñāna, indicating that there is no difference between Him and His names, forms, qualities, weapons and so on. Anything pertaining to Him is in the same category of spiritual existence. They are all engaged in the service of the Lord in varieties of spiritual forms.
TEXT 31
yathā hi bhagavān eva
vastutaḥ sad asac ca yat
satyenānena naḥ sarve
yāntu nāśam upadravāḥ
TRANSLATION
The subtle and gross cosmic manifestation is material, but nevertheless it is nondifferent from the Supreme Personality of Godhead because He is ultimately the cause of all causes. Cause and effect are factually one because the cause is present in the effect. Therefore the Absolute Truth, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, can destroy all our dangers by any of His potent parts.
The Supreme Personality of Godhead, the living entities, the material energy, the spiritual energy and the entire creation are all individual substances. In the ultimate analysis, however, together they constitute the supreme one, the Personality of Godhead. Therefore those who are advanced in spiritual knowledge see unity in diversity. For such advanced persons, the Lord’s bodily decorations, His name, His fame, His attributes and forms and the weapons in His hand are manifestations of the strength of His potency. According to their elevated spiritual understanding, the omniscient Lord, who manifests various forms, is present everywhere. May He always protect us everywhere from all calamities.
PURPORT
A person highly elevated in spiritual knowledge knows that nothing exists but the Supreme Personality of Godhead. This is also confirmed in Bhagavad-gītā (9.4) where Lord Kṛṣṇa says, mayā tatam idaṁ sarvam, indicating that everything we see is an expansion of His energy. This is confirmed in the Viṣṇu Purāṇa (1.22.52):
As a fire, although existing in one place, can expand its light and heat everywhere, so the omnipotent Lord, the Supreme Personality of Godhead, although situated in His spiritual abode, expands Himself everywhere, in both the material and spiritual worlds, by His various energies. Since both cause and effect are the Supreme Lord, there is no difference between cause and effect. Consequently the ornaments and weapons of the Lord, being expansions of His spiritual energy, are not different from Him. There is no difference between the Lord and His variously presented energies. This is also confirmed in the Padma Purāṇa:
The holy name of the Lord is fully identical with the Lord, not partially. The word pūrṇa means “complete.” The Lord is omnipotent and omniscient, and similarly, His name, form, qualities, paraphernalia and everything pertaining to Him are complete, pure, eternal and free from material contamination. The prayer to the ornaments and carriers of the Lord is not false, for they are as good as the Lord. Since the Lord is all-pervasive, He exists in everything, and everything exists in Him. Therefore even worship of the Lord’s weapons or ornaments has the same potency as worship of the Lord. Māyāvādīs refuse to accept the form of the Lord, or they say that the form of the Lord is māyā, or false, but one should note very carefully that this is not acceptable. Although the Lord’s original form and His impersonal expansion are one, the Lord maintains His form, qualities and abode eternally. Therefore this prayer says, pātu sarvaiḥ svarūpair naḥ sadāsarvatra sama-gaḥ: “May the Lord, who is all-pervasive in His various forms, protect us everywhere.” The Lord is always present everywhere by His name, form, qualities, attributes and paraphernalia, and they all have equal power to protect the devotees. Śrīla Madhvācārya explains this as follows:
Prahlāda Mahārāja loudly chanted the holy name of Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva. May Lord Nṛsiṁhadeva, roaring for His devotee Prahlāda Mahārāja, protect us from all fear of dangers created by stalwart leaders in all directions through poison, weapons, water, fire, air and so on. May the Lord cover their influence by His own transcendental influence. May Nṛsiṁhadeva protect us in all directions and in all corners, above, below, within and without.

TRANSLATION
King Indra, who performed one hundred sacrifices, received this prayer of protection from Viśvarūpa. After conquering the demons, he enjoyed all the opulences of the three worlds.
PURPORT
This mystical mantric armor given by Viśvarūpa to Indra, the King of heaven, acted powerfully, with the effect that Indra was able to conquer the asuras and enjoy the opulence of the three worlds without impediments. In this regard, Madhvācārya points out:
One must receive all kinds of mantras from a bona fide spiritual master; otherwise the mantras will not be fruitful. This is also indicated in Bhagavad-gītā (4.34):
“Just try to learn the truth by approaching a spiritual master. Inquire from him submissively and render service unto him. The self-realized soul can impart knowledge unto you because he has seen the truth.” All mantras should be received through the authorized guru, and the disciple must satisfy the guru in all respects, after surrendering at his lotus feet. In the PadmaPurāṇa it is also said, sampradāya-vihīnā ye mantrās teniṣphalā matāḥ. There are four sampradāyas, or disciplic successions, namely the Brahma-sampradāya, the Rudra-sampradāya, the Śrī sampradāya and the Kumāra-sampradāya. If one wants to advance in spiritual power, one must receive his mantras from one of these bona fide sampradāyas; otherwise he will never successfully advance in spiritual life.
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Sixth Canto, Eighth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “The Nārāyaṇa-kavaca Shield.”
Usually, It has been widely seen that Mars (tools) and Ketu (Sharp edge micro Tools) are major two planets responsible for Surgical operations in astrology and 8th house/lord is seen for secretive, hidden diseases and long chronical diseases, whereas 6th house and its lord has seen for day to day diseases and surgeries connected with them.
Normally we see Surgeries of secret body parts based on the placement of a planet in 8th house and Sign involves in 8th, as it usually gives us clue for afflicted body parts or Deep inside damaged tissues or cells.
Any malefic planet influence on the 8th house usually causes serious surgeries or operation wrt to the exact body part ruled by the Sign for e.g Aries – head, Taurus – nose or eyes, Gemini – Vocals, neck etc.
The general rule is, if Lagna lord is weak, 6th and 8th Lord is also afflicted with added influence of Mars and Nodes (South Node Ketu) on 6th, 8th Lord then we can easily say that Native might undergo Surgery once in his lifetime.
Survival chances of the Native from the Serious surgeries depending on Strength of the Lagna lord in D1 and D9 chart.
But the study of the 8th house and its lord is very much important for understanding long chronical diseases which can take shape into serious troubles in the body into ” Ulcers, Cancers or Hidden Secret diseases like Aids “.
As 8th house is deep hidden house and surgery is also a deep hidden secret process where doctors need to find out damaged tissues via tracing it with different technologies and pieces of equipment for an exact location of body tissues which is under the malefic influence.
By simply assuming that 8th house is afflicted by the malefic planet placement and it can give diseases or native can undergo any surgery or operation, it would be a wrong practice in the medical astrological analysis to approach on any conclusion.
As per Late Dr Raman understanding, If any house is under heavy affliction by the malefic planet, native can go under severe surgery or operations.
For eg if we take example of Aq Lagna – ” If Lagna lord Saturn is in 8th house and if it is heavily afflicted by Mars (which is lord of 3rd House- the House dealing with nasal, shoulder etc ) or aspects by Mars and if Sat also aspects the 6th lord than native will definitely undergo operation specially in “ Area of Nasal or May be Sinus issue can be Seen “.
Take an Another E.g if native has Rahu in its 12th house aspects by Mars and if 12th Sign be Aries native may undergo operation of “Ulcer in the Foot” as Rahu is Spoiling the 12th house which is House of Foot and aspect of Mars who is also lord of 12th by mutual aspect to Rahu giving “Ulcer in the Foot “.
So, We need to see every factor when we are dealing with surgeries and operations in Medical Astrology.
Only we have to see the exact house of affliction either By Mars or by Ketu for any Surgical Operations than we can conclude that native may undergo operations or not.
Event on Surgeries on Body parts depends on transits of Rah, Mars, and Sat and Particularly Depends on the Malefic Antardasha and Pratyantrantar dasha period.

Yesterday I was waiting in the office of an Ophthalmologist (A person who can look directly in your eyes, without a tint of emotions. Joking), and I came across this amazing recipe related to natural diet. This recipe is also known as Budwig’s protocol.
My Son’s eyes needed a new pair of spectacles and we have nothing to do but to wait. I took a magazine (Health-related) from the shelf and started reading it. I came across an article by Lothar Hirneise (President and Founder of People against Cancer [Menschen gegen Krebs] Germany) [1] who referred to Dr.Johanna Budwig’s [2]treatment as the best alternative treatment for Cancer in the world.
Here is the Exact quote for Reader’s reference:
“Of all the alternative Cancer treatment that I have investigated, Dr.Johanna Budwig’s is definitely number one…Nowhere in the world, I found such fantastic cases as with Dr.Budwig. It’s phenomenal”
I was curious and googled it. Cutting the long story short, here is Brief of Dr.Budwig’s Protocol:

Vinod Khanna was born in Peshawar in 1946 before his family moved to Bombay when India was partitioned. During his studies in boarding school he was badly fell in love with the Mughal-e-Azam, India’s first motion picture. Later after graduating from Sydenham College with a commerce degree, he moved on his movie career.The Dashing Vinod Khanna had starred in more than 146 films in a career spanning over five decades with his thrilling acting and actions. His love for his Guru Osho Made him into a deep meditator and a sadhak to understand the truth of mystery of death.He Started listening to Osho Discourse when he was just 25-26 years old,back in 1974. Osho’s words had introduced him to an eternal truth of death.During the time, four of his relatives death, including his mother and sister, totally shaken his view regarding mystery of death, made him into following the path of his guru.
He even shared his view regarding death, to one of an Ashram Sadhak :
” I too will die one day, but I do not know anything about my real self’.”
(Late Vinod Khanna)
This shows how much he was spiritually inclined toward the truth of life.
But after he returned to cinema in the late eighties courted success again with his films.According to Astrosage provided birth details, He was born on October 6, 1946; 21:15; +5:30 (71E27/32N02) (Peshawar) but due to some of his events discrepancy, birth-time is bit rectified to 21:38, by using few criterias including different dasa judgement process along with other traits. That we will look shortly and after having some birth correction lagna degree found to be around 22Ta21, that seems to be correct and giving right Navamsa Lagna and other Divisional charts.
Early Life
He Had three sisters and one brother: that is clearly seen in his Ashtak-varga chart where 3rd from Mars is having 2 point and 11th from Mars is having 3 points totalling to 4. We find point giving planets are Mercury (Twice – female) Jupiter (Once – Male) and Mars (Once – must be male but due to exchange between Venus and Mars changed to female)
Just after his birth India was portioned and family moved to Mumbai: we can see 9th house that represents father and must also represent Father’s land (from where father belongs, paternal family) most people take this house for travels but in my humble opinion it must be taken for travels only when it is afflicted indicating that due to some problems person won’t be able to live in father’s land and must move outside. However here we find an exchange between 3rd and 9th house that shows due to 3rd house matters (fight) father changed placed in short distance (under same country) why change because the same 9th house is under 9th aspect of Rahu (foreign element, Shock) 7th aspect of Saturn (weak aspect thus we only take it as malefic influence and not for deciding circumstances causing the event) and Mars (complete 4th aspect shows anger and rage in the city) along with Rahu’s strong 9th aspect shows mass murder and partition.
Father was textile and dyes business man: we come to see D12 where we find Aquarius lagna and 6th lord (10th from 9th) is in 2nd house with Venus that is lord of 9th and 4th house (8th from 9th) 7th house from 9th house having exalted Sun and 6th lord being debilitated in 12th house is a clear indication that father is in business and not in job. Nature of profession can be seen with own Rashi mars with Sun who being significator if Ink shows dye and Venus with 10th lord Moon shows textile.
Personality
Handsome: lagna and Navamsa lagna shows ones personality and ones look. Rahu is the one who is very handsome as far as Kaliyuga is concerned whereas Venus is renowned for his beauty (other than that Moon can give round and lovely face, Mercury jolly and laughing face. Jupiter can give good professional handsome look and Mars makes on look younger than his age) Also nature of signs in Lagna and Navamsa lagna changes one’s face cut. Fiery signs make one of triangle shaped face cut. Earthy sign gives square with prominent jaw line; watery sign gives round face with mostly double chin whereas Airy signs are oval face cut with prominent cheek bone. (One can see Vedic Jyotish has many tools using which rectification becomes much easy) there is earthly sign in lagna and watery sign in navamsa lagna but as Rashi is strong with exalted Rahu (Parasara takes Rahu to be exalted in Taurus) he had Earthly square face cut. Along with this Rahu in both Lagna and Navamsa lagna with aspect of Venus in D1 and with Venus in D9 made him handsome actor and heartbeat of many.
Education
Changed to Delhi Public School, Mathura Road in 1957: Dwisaptati Sama Dasa applies in this chart due to Venus being in 7th house as lord of Lagna. As mostly we don’t know exact dates we can find difficulty in finding antardasa will use three divisions of a dasa to predict events (that is a very well known method but now rarely used and works amazingly – No old astrologer I saw ever missed to apply this)
It was Venus-Sun. 4th is the house of Vidya and Sun being lord of 4th house shows education and due to Aspect of Rahu and Saturn shows instability in same and change in place. Whereas Mahadasa lord Venus is lord of 3rd house (short travel) from 4th house of Vidya. From D1 we get to know some event related to education must happen and when we come to all divisional houses related to 4th house (D4, D16, D24) we find in D24 Sun is aspecting 4th house being debilitated in 7th from 4th house shows change in place but the education wasn’t discontinued A debilitated planet can show discontinuation in education but thanks to exchange between Venus and Sun that makes both come under influence of 4th lord Mars and saves his education with only change in place because Venus is in 8th house from D24 lagna that shows education.
Graduated with a commerce degree: 9th house in birth chart deals with higher education and we find Moon placed there in an exchange with Saturn. Moon is Brahmin as well as Vaishya (Usually I consider Moon strong in Paksha bala as Brahmin and weak or in Krishna Paksha as Vaishya) but here due to exchange with Saturn (Significator of Dark – Krishna Paksha) it shows commerce education. In D24 9th house is vacant but lorded by Mercury and aspect-ed by Jupiter and the sign being Virgo Mool-Trikona of Mercury shows her degree in commerce.
Bollywood Career
Debut in 1968: That will be Saturn Mahadasa and Antardasa can be of Mars or Mercury. Between them from D10 Mercury having his aspect on 10th house looks best to start career. Here we find Saturn Dasa from “1962 to 1971 (Total of 9 years)” which when divided by 3 gives 3 years span, (1962-1965, 1965-1968, 1968-1971).
We find it to be in middle part. Saturn in D1 is lord of 10th house and is in 7th house from Moon (Refer to our article on Chandra Kundali http://shubhamalock.com/ascendants/chandra-kundali-the-moon-horoscopewhere we said planets in 7th house from Moon shows person’s own quest for prominence in life) and from this we concludes that he started his own career in films rather then joining his family business . Saturn being in a hind rising sign middle part of dasa must give effect of Saturn himself,also it is lord of the 10th house from the lagana (Last effect will be of Sign and aspects on that, 2nd will be of Saturn and 1st will be of Moon lord of the sign)andin Dasamsa it is with 10th lord.
Being in same sign effects will be of Saturn’s own rashi with his conjunction with 10th lord and he being Dispositor of debilitated Jupiter placed in trine to 10th house in D10 signifies his start of career. From 1968 to 1971 until the end of Saturn dasa he played role of Villains or supporting actors matching nature of Saturn (we see how beautifully a conditional dasa works – if we follow parashara strictly and in case of special conditions use conditional dasa in-spite of Vimshottari Dasa)
1973 to 1982 Successful as lead actor: this was complete Rahu dasa and some part of Sun dasa. If we use dual lordship as suggested by Sage Jaimini for Aquarius we find rahu as 10th lord being in lagna having dignity of exaltation. In Dasamsa Chakra we find him being placed in lagna as lord of 7th house giving success in business (films where you’re independent to work can’t fall under domain of 6th house) but how Rahu gave this much phenomenal success. If we use Jaimini principles we find Rahu is complete Yogda being placed in Lagna, Navamsa Lagna and Drekkana Lagna. (Learned readers will do well to apply Drig Dasa here – that is applicable when a planet is in 9th house from lagna and watch how amazingly both Parashara and Jaimini synchronize. The reason I am ignoring Trikona Dasa is because lord of Arudh Lagna is not in trine to Lagna)
[Quickly we see Drig Dasa ]– Commences from Capricorn and Dasa follows as Capricorn 1946-1953, Scorpio 1946-1961, Leo 1961-1969, Taurus 1969-1977, Aquarius 1977-1985. This was in Taurus where Rahu is exalted itself. Rahu is Yogda, in D9 Taurus is aspected by Rahu and in D3 5th from Taurus (house which shows power) is Rahu. Aquarius we know is lorded by Rahu in jaimini astrology and in D1 and D3 9th from Aquarius is Jupiter and Mercury. Jupiter shows power. 5th from Aquarius in Navamsa is Moon
Highest paid actor between 1974-1982 & 1987-1995: we find this to fall mostly under Rahu and Moon Dasa. Rahu is yogda and powerful to give prominence as well as money (this is what Rajyoga really means) and Moon being in 9th house aspected by 9th lord (Parashara considers 2nd 5th 9th and 11th as money houses) in D1 and being lord of 1st house aspecting 11th house and being aspected by 5th lord while being placed in 5th house in Vedic Hora makes him a Dhanyoga giver in D2.
1982-1986 – Became follower of OSHO and left industry for 5 years: This was Sun dasa and we find Sun as being placed in 5th house of Mantra in D1 (which is 8th from 10th house) but being aspected by both 10th lord in the same dasa he came back to industry. In D10 although being lord of Dasamsa lagna he is Dispositor of Rahu and placed with Digbala in 4th house giving a clear indication to his fall from professional power.
1987 Back in movies: Sun dasa and Antardasa must be of Saturn for obvious reasons. As we said as the same Sun aspects 10th house in D10 and are aspected by both 10th lords in D1 it was a sure to come back in movies. In Sun dasa of 9 years it was last part of dasa (1983-1983, 1983-1986, 1986-1989) and we find Sun in D10 to be in Head rising sign and last effect must be of Sun himself and he being lord of Dasamsa lagan showed his colors and gave him entry again into film industry. Where he worked till 2015 [last appeared] (as Wikipedia sayshttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vinod_Khanna ) see how a single planet gave effect of both his results. Off course this is the place where antardasa comes into play. We see Moon, Mars, Mercury and Jupiter antardasa was in this time when he was in Rajneeshpuram. Moon is lord of 4th house although exalted in 10th house he is in exchange. Mars is in 8th house. Jupiter is debilitated in Artha Trikona and Mercury is Dispositor of Maandi. 1999 & 2000 Filmfare Award: Mars dasa as being Yogakaraka from Dasamsa Lagna it was sure to come. But what about Mars being in 8th house that we mentioned earlier. Use three division of dasa and find that in this Dasa from 1998 to 2007 first part is ruled by Jupiter who although being debilitated in 6th house is in trine to 10th house and gets Neech bhanga. See effects of same Jupiter in Sun dasa where he gives Bhoga in 8th house and in Mars dasa where he gives Bhoga in 4th house a Kendra. In 2000 it was Mars-Jupiter itself. And between three parts it was same first part. He also got awards in 2005 and 2007 in last part of Dasa where results of Mars was given who being Raajyogkarak gave all this. See how by only Pisces being a middle rising sign changed all the effects of Mars and Jupiter in 8th and 6th house respectively.
Political Career
1997 Joined BJP and elected from Punjab in next year’s Poll:
This was Moon dasa ending and he is exalted in 10th house in D10 and in D1 he is in 9th house aspected by 9th lord. A benefic in 9th is a big blessing as 9th house is referred as auspicious by Varahamihira. And start of Mars dasa who is in Vipreet Raj Yoga in D1 and Yogakaraka in D10. [Use Drig Dasa to find it is Cancer dasa 5th from which in D1 is Venus and Ketu in own house. D9 it is having Venus and Yogda Rahu and 5th there from is Mercury and in D3 5th from cancer is Mars in own rasi]
1999 Elected again: This is again Mars-Mars and Cancer Drig Dasa
2002 Union Minister for culture and Tourism, after 6 months came to Ministry of External Affairs and in 2004 won election again from Punjab: 2002 Venus dasa who is 10th lord in exchange with exalted Moon. 2004 Either Saturn or Rahu dasa whose prominence in professional matters we have seen earlier by one being Yogda and 10th lord exalted in 1st in D1 and another being directly related to 10th house in D1 and D10 both. In three part of dasa 2002 was middle of dasa giving effect of Sign Pisces which deposits Mars (in friendly sign- from Mool Trikona sign of Mars Pisces is friendly) and 2004 Falls under last part of dasa that gives effect of Mars (Yogakaraka) all this happened in Mars Drig Dasa whose lord is another Yogda by aspecting D1 and D9 Lagna.
Lost 2009 General elections: it was Mercury Jupiter or Venus which in any case gives dasa Bhoga in 8th house in D10.
In 2014 again elected from same constituency: now Bhoga either we take it as Mercury-Sun or Mercury-Moon falls in 4th house that is a Kendra in D10.
Personal Life
Met First wife “Geetanjali” in college and married in 1971: 7th lord from Venus in navamsa is Saturn who is placed in 5th house from Lagna with Mercury (Karaka for education) and he is also lord of 7th house from Navamsa lagna shows how they met. Their marriage solemnized in that was Taurus Dasa in Drig Dasa (why I am not using Dwisaptati Sama is we don’t know marriage date and in 1971 July Dasa changes from Saturn to Rahu) we find Venus is in 7th from Taurus in D1 and in D9 Taurus is aspected by DK whereas D3 shows Mars in own rashi in 7th from dasa rasi.
Two children from first marriage: Rahul Khanna (20 June 1972) – Rahu-Rahu-Venus. Rahu aspects 5th house from Lagna and Saptamsa Lagna. Venus by exchange in D1 comes in contact with Mercury and in Saptamsa lord 7th house (main house of marriage from where children’s come in D7) Akshay Khanna (28 March 1975) – Rahu-Mars-Jupiter. Rahu we have already seen. Mars and Jupiter is with 5th lord in Rashi and in Saptamsa Mars and Jupiter both aspects 5th house [it is Taurus Drig Dasa which in D7 is having Venus in it and Moon and exalted Mars in 9th from it – all benefics in Kona giving complete blessings.]
Separation with wife in 1985 due to following OSHO and living away from family: it must be Sun-Jupiter both of them are in 6th and 12th axis in Navamsa. With Sun being lord of 2nd house (maraka) from Navamsa lagna and Jupiter is 6th lord in 6th house. Jupiter signifies Guru’s.
1990 after returning to India married “Kavita” and had a son “Sakshi” and daughter “Shraddha”: Moon dasa started who is in 9th in Rashi chakra showing younger sister of wife and Marriage house as house of Dharma (Dharma Patni) and in Navamsa he is in 2nd house (8th from first house) that indicates 2nd wife. In D7 we find Jupiter in a male sign Sagittarius giving first male child and then Venus in female sign Taurus giving female progeny. Disease – admitted to hospital on 2 April 2017: in matters of health and death one must use Vimshottari always and we find this to be Mercury-Jupiter-Jupiter both of them being in 6th from Lagna. After suffering from Severe dehydration (we see strongest there in 6th house is Mars – strongest due to being in exchange) 3rd from Arudh Lagna is Saturn that shows death from disease. Being in watery sign and aspected by Ketu Rahu and Venus (Nodes show disease like Cancer – Bladder Cancer [as Wikipedia states] and bladder is represented by Venus. On 27th April 2017 he left this mortal world in dasa of Mercury-Jupiter-Jupiter. Mercury is Maraka and Jupiter is 8th lord and there is a statement by Parashara that if 6th lord be afflicted person dies in dasa of planets in 6th house. We see Venus being afflicted by Rahu-Ketu axis and exchanged by Mars.
With this end of Era India lost his most handsome and dashing superstar, veteran actor Vinod Khanna after being hospitalised for almost a month. The 70-year-old actor died of bladder cancer. Bollywood was reeling with shock and sadness, and several celebrities remembered the late actor on Twitter and mourned his death.
