How to Know about Past Life ?

Presented here is an authentic case study involving an individual personally acquainted with the author, whose personal name will remain undisclosed. The individual in question underwent past-life regression therapy in response to the occurrence of unforeseen painful circumstances subsequent to their marriage during the years 2008-2009.

The present inquiry pertains to the causal factors underlying the sequence of events subsequent to the act of matrimony.

Beginning of Native Life experiences : Exploring Past life

In the early stages of his life and trajectory, an individual embarked upon a career in the Merchant Navy. The individual embarked on a journey that spanned numerous nations, allowing for the exploration of various locales, encounters with diverse individuals, and exposure to a multitude of cultures and traditions.

Additionally, they had the opportunity to sojourn in numerous hotels and opulent establishments, indulging in various luxuries and living a life of regal splendour, thereby deriving immense satisfaction from their experiences.

However, one must inquire as to why he had significant hardships in the latter stages of his life, particularly following his marriage, while possessing the aforementioned attribute. The intensity of anguish and the strain on the individual’s psyche has been so overwhelming that they have thus far been incapable of effectively managing or enduring it.

Let us commence the process of deciphering the information gradually, based on the events and occurrences that were conveyed to me in a native manner.

Early Native Early Life experiences  (the years 2002 to 2008)

Native was a student who performed about average in his classes, but he had an excellent and sharp memory that enabled him to solve difficult puzzles and technical scenarios in any live sailing with his presence of mind. During the course of his professional journeys as a Marchant Navy Sailor, that native explained to me that he has to experience many difficult life-threatening challenges during difficult and critical situations when it was a matter of life and death in front of native decision-making.

Life started taking a sudden bend after the start of Mars Mahadasha in 2002, native left his studies in the middle of their completion and joined the Merchant Navy, where he started his journey through the oceans and visited many countries for his professional pursuits.

Everything was going well after 2002 onward (after the beginning of his mars dasha), long journeys travelling and comfortable life ( that one can see via the exchange of  7th and 10th lord , moon & Mars  and both are in moveable signs )but suddenly there was a major shift or change in his destiny and there was a triggered change in his life.

It was the time of Prarbadha—karma of the past life—came into the picture in native life when the native marriage ceremony got fixed on September 10, 2008. Soon after the month, problems started cropping up in their marriage life; day-to-day issues started triggering, and there were tones of heated arguments that started getting ignited like a fiery flame in their marriage life, which even led to physical violence and abuse between the couples.

Before the marriage instance happened to take place, I was planning to leave my hometown for New Delhi to join my new office in the first month of October 2008. Before leaving, I had clearly warned the native about his upcoming marriage life events, saying that he needs to be cautious in his marriage as it can be very fatal for him and it can take the shape of a war zone like Mahabharata between two families after October 2008 to December 2008, and maybe the situation can become worse soon after, which can lead to legal separation and harassment from police or government authorities.

My calculations and observations lead me to believe that both partners may have already parted ways prior to the start of 2009, and that they have not gotten back together to form a family unit since that time. After walking away from the relationship in the middle of its course, the native may be able to resume his life as a sailor sometime after February 2009; however, the likelihood of this happening is so remote that the native may never return to his home country to pursue the resumption of his marriage.

At that time, Native expressed his appreciation for all of my guidance and suggestions, and he gave me his word that he would adhere to all of my recommendations with complete commitment. I advised him that he should make every effort to steer clear of situations that have the potential to make his married life a shambles in the future.

The Destiny Point of Past Life : The Point when Prarbadha Karama Triggered

But fate is fate, and Prabhadha Karama fulfilled its function in the lives of the natives. A major argument that broke out between two different couples in the month of October in the year 2008 was the spark that started a dispute that grew like a ferocious snake and ultimately resulted in both physical and verbal abuse between the different couples.

It was like a daily routine for both of them, and there was no hope seen between them, which might have been when it could stop. The entire family went through trauma as a result of the ongoing physical violence and abuse that was taking place between the couples. The verbal and physical altercations could not be avoided or stopped in any way. There was never a moment in time when harmony prevailed among the members of the family.

After Marriage: The Experience of Prarabhda Karma, or “The Reaping of the Fruits”

The family lives of both couples were severely disrupted up until December 2008, but on the first day of February 2009, the situation between them reached a new level of insanity and took on a more serious form. It was very difficult for the native to avoid experiencing such mental anguish while still married, so he made the difficult decision to leave his spouse and move on to join the ship in order to put an end to all of the suffering he had been going through in the middle of his life.

Date of Occurrence: Karma Was Activated

The prophecy was fulfilled:Because of all the frustrations and suffering that were triggered in Native’s marriage life shortly after the ceremony, he made the decision to leave his spouse and join Ship in the middle of his journey in February 2009 so that he could continue on with his journey. However, time has determined another aspect of native life, and that is the ultimate fate of both of the couples who are still to come. After deserting the spouse in the middle of the act, it was now time to endure suffering for the indigenous family as well.

As a means of exacting revenge on the native family and his conduct towards her husband, the native spouse came to the conclusion that she would, with the assistance of his brother, bring a legal action against the entire family, accusing them of dowry abuse and physical violence. Within a few days, the police took action against the native family, and they began harassing the family members one at a time as if they had a personal grudge against them. This harassment extended to my closest friend, who was the younger brother of the native and had no part in the relationship mess.

What do we call it when we have a more in-depth understanding of it?

What was the error that he made?

Even though he had nothing to do with creating the mess, he was still made to endure all of this suffering and dishonor.

Is this not the result of his previous karmas or the deeds he committed in a previous life?

Think about it in great detail.

The process of torturing a native family by members of the police department continued to escalate on a daily basis, leaving the entire family in a state of great trauma and shock. In the meantime, a court case was opened against members of the family, and the issues flared up like a blazing spark.

There was no way to comprehend the predicament or identify the nature of the events that were taking place to them. The members of the family were all in a state of shock, and there was no information or course of action that they could take for themselves at this point.

My friend would frequently come to me with questions such as, “Why did everything start going wrong all of a sudden, and they had no choices left for them? “

“What would be the deepest reason to think further about it, why, and how everything was happening with them without their fault?”, and

“What would be the deepest reason to think further about it, why, and how everything was happening with them without their fault?”

While the members of the family were going through the tormenting phase as a result of the spouse’s personal matter of revenge and unethical behaviour towards them, the police department further began doing their extra-threatening work in order to create a situation or environment of fear among the whole family.

This was accomplished with the assistance of an extra push given by the spouse’s elder brother, who was also an on-duty senior police officer but was posted in some other location. Native professional life had reached a point where there was no way forward while family members were preoccupied with the court case and police actions. Because the visa was going to be revoked in a matter of weeks, the native was required to renew it at any cost in order to continue working in the country.

But what exactly is it about his life that is a secret ?

Absolutely no one can be aware of it !

The native felt as though everything in his life was caught in the middle, with no way to move forward, and he was in a condition in which he had no choice left to do anything with the assistance of members in authority; it more closely resembled a situation in which he had nothing in hand.

The New Phase of Life, Unfolding Past life Astrology : Beginning of Rahu Dasha in 2009

 

Finally, with the beginning of the first phase (Rahu PD) in Rahu Mahadasha approximately in December 2009, the native was forced to leave his ship because he was unsuccessful in renewing the visa and passport in time due to some financial and unknown reasons (Rahu in the Bhadhak Sthan in the 11th house conjoined with 5th Lord Saturn and 3rd Lord Jupiter).

He decided further that he should move back to India for some relief and take help from his brother for some Once more, the hand of fate was at work not long after the event described above. Because the native was absent from all of the court hearings for an entire year, the case took on a very dangerous tone during that time. This was due to the fact that the native was not present for any of the hearings during that time.

The court reached a decision and declared him a fugitive; as a result, he will be required to serve a sentence or make an appearance in court for further clarification and penalties whenever and wherever he will be seen or found in India.

The native was once again thrown into a state of shock as a result of the decision made by the court. In the deep dilemmas of his life, where one must think deeply and he is left with no clue in his hand, it was more like a state of zero, and every corner was seen as the dark side of life. In this situation, one has no other choice but to think about what to do next, where to go, and how to proceed in life in a better way.

Native made the decision to remain on the opposite side of India, and he began living with the sister of his cousin. He also frequently used to live with his friend. The native’s primary preoccupation was finding a way to secure both his professional and financial futures, as he was actively seeking out a variety of employment opportunities that he was qualified for.

During this time, Native made the decision to renew his passport and visa in India; however, once again, the dots of his destiny and Prarabdha played their roles, and he ended up losing his passport in a sense; no one is sure where he left it all. It was yet another setback and a startling realisation for him at that moment. Because of this, he was completely perplexed about what action to take next.

Native was trying very hard to approach some of his friends for assistance, for the purpose of obtaining any links or clues to get settled in India; however, his friends’ behaviour was a bit unusual and different towards him, and Native felt cheated from his inner core by those whom once looked very needy to get jobs in the Merchant Navy sector;

Native had always forwarded his hands in their hard times and given them as much as helping hands, like when you feel like an angel appears suddenly in a situation in which you are struggling; But in this scenario, things were a little bit different; friends were more likely to appear to be enemies, or it can be said that they were acting like devils in darkness, appearing as though they were wearing a devil advocate coat with a friendly face. They did not offer any assistance to him and flatly refused to do so, acting in accordance with the double standard that is typically upheld by society in times of crisis.

In the meantime, when I returned to my hometown after being away for a few months, my native brother approached me and continued to contact me in order to explain his entire mystery, which was the story of various traumas and shocks that had occurred to members of their family.

 

After hearing what he had to say, I made the decision to offer him some Vedic suggestions, and I advised the native to adhere to all of these suggestions with the utmost diligence in order to reach Lord Shiva.

After using the remedies for a number of months, his entire outlook and perception of living life like a king shifted into the path of severe spiritualism, and he experienced a significant personal transformation as a result.

Failures and self-desires brought about significant growth in him. native began practising intense worship of Lord Shiva, which resulted in a complete transformation of his subconscious mind and bestowed upon him a refocused perspective on his life, including his finances, his family, his wealth, and his relationships. That moment (the activation of the Atma Karka Graha) served as the turning point in his life for self-awareness.

 

The beginning of Accumulated Karamas – The Sanchit Karama ( Good deeds- The Fruits of Life)

Now, here is the picture of a native good Sanchit Karama who, for some reason, was able to make a new passport and got a new job in another country, but in the marketing and sales sector of that country. After many months and years of hard work, he was happy to receive this new surprise in his life. Despite the fact that he did not choose his work, he was happy to receive it.

Native was bringing in lakhs every month thanks to his work in the Merchant Navy. Here, Native started his career path again, but this time from the ground up, and began earning thousands of dollars so that he could begin his new life with a newfound sense of hope. In the meantime, the legal proceeding was also taking place in India, and the brother was managing it in some way with a good strategy. On numerous occasions, natives have inquired as to why everything is taking place to him and his family, including his personal and professional lives, and what caused it to take place.

My response has been the same from the beginning: there has been no change in it; it is all due to the Prarabdha Karama of the previous life that one must suffer either in this birth or possibly in the next birth. In any event, one is required to use up all of their karma. In addition to this, it is recommended that natives go through the process of past-life regression therapy with knowledgeable spiritual masters who are working in their profession with integrity. In accordance with the recommendation, Native participated in a session of past-life regression therapy in New Delhi with a knowledgeable master.

It was more like a ray of hope to resolve his case now that things were clearer to me after studying the process of the native’s past life regression therapy. Just as we see a bright light emerging out of the dark and dense clouds, this was like a ray of hope to resolve his case. The findings have a profound impact on me, and it is extremely challenging for me to accept them as true and make sense of them.

Later, when I tried to evaluate the same with a native horoscope, I was feeling quite amazed and surprised by the brilliance of the astrological principles, and the results gave me the assurance and authenticity of the sutras—how the Nadi Jyotish and Jamini Sutra concepts are so precious and accurate, and how well they are explaining the whole process of past birth karmas.

I was feeling quite amazed and surprised by the brilliance of the astrological principles. Once more, Shows, After analysing the entire situation of the chart, I discovered that our sages were never wrong in any of their theories or sutras for explaining its essence. This is something that I learned, and after doing so, I am now pretty sure about both the fact that it is true and how brilliantly Vedic astrology will be at that time.

Conclusion:

The native Karmic life difficulties that I looked into in Parts 1, 2, and 3 as well as events from native life have now been revealed to you. I have finally supplied all of the information that is necessary for you to comprehend native Karmic life concerns. In the fourth section, we will study the fundamentals of Jamini, Nadi, and Vedic astrological principles, as well as the ways in which we might be able to identify the date of these events. In addition, we will go deeper into the concept of past life regression and its connection to the field of astrology that focusses on former lives.

For the purpose of strengthening people’s spiritual consciousness and understanding the deeper links between unresolved mysteries and the karmic difficulties of life, which can be difficult to believe in and find solutions for, it is important to maintain connections, never stop learning, and never discontinue sharing. By consulting the Bhagavad Gita, engaging in the practice of past life astrology, and engaging in the practice of past life regression, individuals might get a more thorough understanding of the fundamental mysteries that are associated with life.

It may be challenging to believe and digest these ideas in the context of modern life; but, after folks have studied and comprehended them with an open mind, they are able to comprehend the true significance of what they are expressing. The purpose of this post is to hopefully shed light on some of the most fundamental cosmic secrets that life has to offer.

Understanding Mystery of Past Life Astrology, Past Life Regression and decoding Past Life Journey : Astrological case study of Past Life – Part 2

In the 2nd Part of Mystery of Past Life Astrology Article series, we will dive deeper in the ocean of Vedic philosophy connected with past life, reincarnations, past life regression, Upanishads, and we will decode sutras of past life along with understanding the astrological case study of the native to go deeper to understand more hidden insights on the past life, i.e., what are the major indicators required to study past life astrology that we will cover in the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th parts of this series, and we will also let you know what will be the astrological tools we will use to decode the mystery of the native past life journey in the following sections.

For example, we will employ methods of past life regression, study sutras from Jamini Sutras, Nadi Astrology, classical astrological sutras from Phaladeepika, Brihat Jataka, and other vedic astrology systems, and apply these principles to decode and comprehend past life issues.

Firstly, we must comprehend the ways in which Past life regression, Prati Prasav Sadhna/Medtation, Bhagawd Geeta, and Upanishads can aid us in understanding how reincarnations, past lives, and astrology can shed light on the deeper issues in our lives. First, let’s explore the concept of past life regression (PLR) in the next section.

Why is it important to comprehend past life issues, traumas, and karmic blockages? Reason being, In Vedic traditions, it is believed that these karmic influences manifest in the astrological chart, specifically through the positions of planets at the time of a person’s birth. Each planet governs specific traits, challenges, and lessons, allowing astrologers to interpret the deep-seated influences that stem from past lives. For instance, a difficult relationship with a particular family member might correlate with unresolved issues from previous lifetimes, as revealed through careful analysis of the natal chart.

Furthermore, certain planetary combinations can indicate a strong connection to past life experiences. In Vedic astrology, the placement of the Nodes of the Moon—Rahu and Ketu—holds particular importance. Rahu represents unfulfilled desires and challenges that originate from past deeds, while Ketu signifies spiritual growth and the lessons one must learn to overcome karmic debts. Astrologers often analyze these elements to offer insight into the underlying motivations and fears that individuals encounter in their current lives.

Through Vedic astrology, understanding past life influences serves as a tool for self-reflection and growth. By recognising and embracing the karmic ties that guide their behaviour and choices, individuals can strive towards personal development. The nuanced interpretations provided by this ancient practice encourage a deeper comprehension of one’s life journey, illuminating the intricate tapestry woven by previous existences.

Regression in Vedic Astrology 

The Natal Astrological System provides us with insights into the soul regression process and the karmas associated with it. For instance, the placement of Jupiter in the birth chart significantly influences soul reincarnations. This regression process aids in pinpointing the underlying karmas that are causing our current life’s suffering. We can also trace back the placement of Jupiter, Saturn, and Rahu/Ketu to understand all the past life issues that are causing soul sufferings in the current life. In the next part of this series, we will delve deeper into the example charts.

As per Patanjali Yog Sutra, chapter, Quote 10 & 11, 
॥ ते प्रतिप्रसवहेयाः सूक्ष्माः पदच्छेद: ते , प्रतिप्रसव , हेयाः , सूक्ष्माः॥

Meaning : 
The subtle klesas are to be conquered by resolving them into their causal state.

Reincarnation, a fundamental concept in Hinduism, is known as samsara, which refers to the continuous cycle of birth, life, death, and rebirth. This belief system posits that the soul, or atman, undergoes numerous lifetimes in various forms, influenced by the actions and choices made in previous existences. The essence of reincarnation is deeply rooted in ancient Vedic texts, which serve as sacred scriptures and articulate the principles governing life, death, and the journey of the soul.

Karma, Rebirth, Reincarnation and Past life Astrology

A key element influencing the nature of each rebirth is karma, which encompasses the moral law of cause and effect. According to this principle, every action taken by an individual carries consequences that shape future experiences.

Positive deeds contribute to favourable circumstances in subsequent lives, whereas negative actions may lead to suffering and hardships in future reincarnations. This intricate relationship underscores the notion that individuals are responsible for their fate, and it is their conduct in this life that determines their spiritual progression and the form their next life will assume.

Samsara, Liberation, Moksha and Reincarnation  

Within the cyclical process of samsara, liberation, or moksha, is considered the ultimate goal for practitioners of Hinduism. Attaining moksha entails breaking free from the repetitive cycle of reincarnation, thus allowing the soul to unite with the divine consciousness, or Brahman.

This pursuit of liberation is not only a personal journey but is also a reflection of the broader philosophical teachings encapsulated in the Vedic scriptures.

As such, understanding reincarnation and its interconnected principles of karma and moksha is essential for those seeking to comprehend the nuances of Hindu beliefs and their implications on life and existence.

Astrological Explanation on Cycle of Rebirth

In vedic Astrological system,  cycle of Rebirth and Karma goes like  this ; 1st house -> ( Current birth) 12th house -> ( everything about the Next Birth) ->  8th, 12th and 4th house ( everything about Moksha ) and Finally Jupiter Progression and Regression ( everything about Reincarnations ) 

1st house or Ascendant ( Current Birth) in Vedic Astrology :

Whenever native born in this life with particular ascendant shows everything native carry forwarded from the past life samskaras, including skills, Appearance, health and intelligence etc and planetary placement in the birth chart, could be good or bad or could be in affliction shows about the Current birth sufferings or enjoyment one may enjoy in this birth all because of the past life soul journeys.  

Next Birth ( 12th house or 12th house lord ) as per Vedic Astrology :

When we are talking about the next birth in vedic astrology, 12th house and 12th lord placement, affliction, strength in the natal chart has much says on the next birth of the soul as it is  falling in 12th from the Lagna ( end of ones life and beginning of next and falling in 4th from the 9th house – shows Storage house of karmas ) and falling in 8th from the 5th house ( 5th is everything about future decision making, falling in 9th from the 9th house shows Root cause one born in current life  )  which shows one life ends and next cycle starts with new beginning. Placement of the 12th lord shows what could be possible place, Yoni or characterization of the soul in next life. 

Moksha ( 8th and 12th house ) in Vedic Astrology

When we are talking about the Moksha, 8th and 12th house strength and weakness has much says on the Moksha, though we cannot fully predict on the Moksha but we can have a basic understanding on the Moksha from the 8th and 12th house , as these are Moksha trikona houses in vedic Astrology which gives sound understanding of one spiritual path one may choose in this life which can helps to identity the path of Moksha, 

Reincarnations ( Jupiter ) in Vedic Astrology 

When discussing reincarnations, the progression of Jupiter in a forward direction reveals everything about the current life, while the regression of Jupiter in a backward direction from its original placement in the natal chart reveals all the past life journeys a soul has undertaken in numerous past lives. For example, if we regress Jupiter one step back, it reveals the precise cause of death in the previous life, as well as the exact root cause of any misdeeds a person was born with, which they need to experience in this life.

Vedic Philosophy Perspective on Reincarnation, Past life

The concept of reincarnation, or samsara, is integral to Hindu philosophy and deeply explored within the Vedic scriptures. Central to this understanding is the distinction between the physical body and the eternal soul, or atman. The Vedic texts, especially the Upanishads and the Bhagavad Gita, provide profound insights into the nature of the soul and its journey through numerous lifetimes. The Upanishads, composed between 800 and 400 BCE, emphasise that the atman is unchanging and eternal, transcending the temporary nature of the physical form. They present a philosophy where each soul undergoes a cycle of birth, death, and rebirth, shaped by its actions in previous lives (karma).

The Bhagawad Gita and Theory of Reincarnation, Past life and Karma 

The Bhagavad Gita, often regarded as a spiritual and philosophical classic, reinforces these concepts by illustrating the dialogue between Krishna and Arjuna. Within this sacred text, Krishna explains that the soul cannot be killed or destroyed; it merely transitions from one body to another, akin to changing garments. This perspective encourages individuals to perform their duties selflessly, without attachment to the outcomes, as each life is part of a grander cosmic order that allows for spiritual evolution over consecutive births.

Karma and Its Role in Reincarnation in Past life Astrology

Karma, a central tenet in Hindu philosophy, refers to the principle of cause and effect concerning human actions. It embodies the belief that every action, whether good or bad, has consequences that can extend across multiple lifetimes.

This doctrine is intricately tied to the concept of reincarnation, wherein the soul undergoes cycles of birth, death, and rebirth—an eternal journey shaped significantly by one’s karma.

Each individual’s current existence is perceived as a manifestation of the choices made in previous lives, underscoring the moral weight carried by one’s actions.

Studying Saturn and understanding Karma and Reincarnations in Vedic Astrology

In Vedic Astrological system, Study of the Saturn is the majorly seen to study all sorts of the karmas, actions or misdeeds those are  connected with past, present and future life and it categorized as prime planet which we one should need to focus in the current life to have better birth in better family with good reincarnation experiences in the next life. 

Why Punya Karma and what are Paap ( 6th, 8th and afflictions in Natal chart )  & Punya Karmas ( 1st, 5th & 9th house )  in Past life ?

In this worldview, good deeds—often termed “punya”—result in positive outcomes, while bad deeds, referred to as “papa,” lead to negative consequences. This moral framework serves not only to govern personal behaviour but also to impart lessons essential for spiritual growth.

As individuals navigate their lives, their actions create a karmic record that influences their future experiences and forms the basis for the conditions of subsequent reincarnations.

Hence, one’s present circumstances are intimately linked to the actions of past existences. This interplay suggests that the journey of the soul is not random but rather a structured path that reflects the ethical quality of its past behaviors.

Astrological understanding on Paap and Punya Karmas

Astrologically, all sort of good karmas are seen from 5th house, 9th house and the 1st house whereas PaaKarmas are majorly linked with 8th and 6th house, Paap Karitari yogas, afflictions on Moon and conjunction or blockages via Rahu and Ketu in the natal chart. 

Additionally, the understanding of karma emphasises personal responsibility. Each person is seen as the architect of their fate, with the potential to alter their karmic trajectory through conscious choices and selfless deeds.

This intrinsic belief promotes a sense of agency and encourages individuals to act ethically, knowing their current actions directly affect their future lives. Ultimately, karma acts as a guiding principle within the broader framework of reincarnation, reflecting the moral implications that shape the soul’s evolution.

By embracing the lessons embedded in karmic outcomes, individuals engage meaningfully in their spiritual journey towards liberation.

Introduction to Rahu and Ketu

In Vedic astrology, Rahu and Ketu hold a distinctive place, as they are not physical celestial bodies but rather mathematical points that mark the intersection of the moon’s orbit with the ecliptic plane. These shadow planets, referred to as the lunar nodes, derive their significance from ancient mythology and their profound influence on astrological charts.

Rahu and Ketu’s mythological origins can be traced back to the churning of the cosmic ocean, a pivotal event in Hindu mythology. According to the legend, Rahu and Ketu were originally a single entity, a demon who disguised himself to partake in the nectar of immortality. Upon discovery, Lord Vishnu severed the demon into two parts: Rahu, the head, and Ketu, the tail. As a result, Rahu and Ketu are forever in pursuit of the sun and moon, causing eclipses when they catch up with these celestial bodies..

Rahu and Ketu in Past Life Astrology

Unveiling Karmic Influences

Symbolically, Rahu and Ketu represent the head and tail of the celestial serpent, embodying the duality of the material and spiritual realms. Rahu, the north node, signifies worldly desires, ambition, and the quest for material success. It drives individuals towards earthly pleasures and illusions, often leading to unorthodox or unconventional paths. Conversely, Ketu, the south node, embodies detachment, spiritual growth, and karmic resolution. It represents past life experiences and the lessons one must learn to achieve spiritual enlightenment.

As shadow planets, Rahu and Ketu wield a unique influence on astrological charts, despite their lack of physical form. Their positions in a natal chart indicate areas of life where individuals face intense karmic challenges and growth opportunities. The interplay between these nodes and other planetary bodies can reveal deep-seated patterns and unresolved issues from past lives that shape one’s present and future experiences.

Understanding Rahu and Ketu’s roles in Vedic astrology provides valuable insights into the karmic influences that govern our lives, guiding us towards fulfilling our spiritual and material destinies.

The Concept of Past Life Karma and Rahu and Ketu in Astrology

Vedic astrology roots the concept of past-life karma in the philosophy that the actions and experiences of our previous lives significantly influence our current existence. This principle, known as karma, posits that every action, whether good or bad, leaves an indelible mark on our soul, which carries forward into subsequent lifetimes. The astrological charts, particularly through the positions of Rahu and Ketu, serve as celestial maps that reveal this karmic baggage, offering insights into the unresolved issues and lessons that our soul needs to address in this lifetime.

Understanding past-life karma is pivotal for personal growth and spiritual development. Examining the positions and aspects of Rahu and Ketu in one’s natal chart is believed to reveal the patterns and tendencies from past incarnations. These nodal points symbolize the soul’s journey and the destined evolutionary path. Rahu, the North Node, represents the areas where we need to grow and evolve, pushing us towards new experiences and challenges. In contrast, Ketu, the South Node, represents past life experiences as well as the inherent skills and wisdom we bring to this life.

The interplay of Rahu and Ketu in the astrological chart is a testament to the dual nature of karma. While Rahu encourages us to embrace new lessons and move beyond our comfort zones, Ketu reminds us of past influences and the spiritual lessons we have already learned. By understanding this dynamic, individuals can gain a profound awareness of their karmic patterns, enabling them to make more informed choices and navigate life’s challenges with greater wisdom. Thus, the examination of past life karma through astrology becomes a valuable tool for those seeking to understand their life’s purpose and foster spiritual growth.

Rahu: The North Node of the Moon

In the realm of past-life astrology, Rahu, known as the North Node of the Moon, holds a significant place. Rahu is often associated with materialism, desire, and worldly ambitions. Its influence is both potent and complex, as it drives individuals to seek growth and new experiences in specific areas of their lives. Rahu’s position in a natal chart indicates where an individual is likely to focus their energy in pursuit of these ambitions, making it a critical component in understanding one’s karmic path.

Rahu’s characteristics are typically marked by an insatiable quest for success and fulfillment. This celestial body propels individuals towards achieving their goals, often through unconventional or uncharted means. However, pursuing these desires can present challenges and illusions. Rahu’s energy is that of relentless ambition, pushing one to transcend boundaries but sometimes leading to confusion and disillusionment.

In astrology, Rahu’s placement in a natal chart can highlight areas where an individual is destined to seek new experiences and growth. However, this journey is not without its hurdles. Rahu’s illusions can manifest as misguided ambitions or deceptive appearances, making discernment crucial. The lessons Rahu imparts are deeply karmic, often stemming from unresolved issues and desires from past lives. These lessons are integral to the individual’s spiritual progression and understanding of their life purpose.

By analysing Rahu’s position, astrologers can provide insights into the specific challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. This understanding allows individuals to navigate their paths more effectively, balancing their material desires with spiritual growth. Thus, Rahu serves as both a guide and a test, steering individuals towards their true potential while challenging them to overcome the illusions that may cloud their judgement.

Ketu: The South Node of the Moon

Ketu, known in Vedic astrology as the South Node of the Moon, holds significant importance in past-life astrology. It is often associated with mystical and spiritual aspects, symbolising detachment, liberation, and the transcendence of material desires. Unlike its counterpart Rahu, which is known for its worldly ambitions and desires, Ketu directs an individual towards spiritual enlightenment and inner wisdom.

Ketu’s position in a natal chart is indicative of the areas where an individual has garnered substantial expertise and wisdom from past lives. While these areas often showcase innate talents and skills, they also carry karmic baggage that requires attention. Ketu’s presence in a particular house or sign suggests that the soul has already experienced and mastered the lessons of that domain, leading to a sense of detachment or disinterest in those aspects of life.

Astrologically, the process of letting go is associated with Ketu. It represents the need to release attachments and transcend the material plane, fostering spiritual growth and self-realisation. This detachment is not merely about renunciation but about understanding the ephemeral nature of worldly experiences and focusing on the eternal essence of the soul. Ketu encourages introspection and the pursuit of truth beyond the physical realm.

The karmic lessons associated with Ketu involve recognising that true fulfilment comes from spiritual evolution rather than material acquisition. It teaches the importance of humility, self-sacrifice, and the dissolution of the ego. Individuals influenced by Ketu often encounter situations that compel them to relinquish their hold on past achievements and embrace a path of spiritual awareness and self-discovery.

Ultimately, Ketu’s role in astrology is to guide individuals towards spiritual emancipation. By understanding and integrating its influence, one can achieve a balance between worldly experiences and spiritual aspirations, leading to a more profound and meaningful existence.

Interpreting Rahu and Ketu in a Natal Chart

In the realm of past-life astrology, Rahu and Ketu play significant roles in revealing karmic influences. To interpret their placements in a natal chart, one must consider the houses and signs these lunar nodes occupy. Rahu and Ketu’s house position indicates the areas of life where karmic lessons are most pronounced, while the signs they inhabit reveal the nature of these experiences.

Rahu, the North Node, is often associated with desires, ambitions, and the material aspects of life. Its placement in specific houses can highlight the sectors where an individual is likely to experience growth and challenges. For instance, Rahu in the 10th house can signal a strong drive for professional success, often leading to significant career achievements. However, this placement may also bring challenges related to work-life balance and ethical dilemmas in the workplace.

Conversely, Ketu, the South Node, represents past life experiences and inherent talents. People often associate it with detachment and spiritual growth. Ketu’s position in the 4th house suggests a natural inclination towards introspection and a strong connection to one’s heritage or home life. This placement can also indicate past life influences affecting family dynamics and emotional well-being.

Rahu and Ketu’s signs further refine these interpretations. For example, Rahu in Aries might drive an individual towards bold and assertive actions, pushing them to take risks in their professional life. On the other hand, Ketu in Libra could point to a past-life emphasis on partnerships, suggesting a need for balance and harmony in current relationships.

By analyzing the interplay between houses and signs, one can gain deeper insights into how Rahu and Ketu influence various life aspects. Whether it is career, relationships, health, or personal growth, understanding these placements can provide valuable guidance for navigating one’s karmic journey and achieving holistic development.

The impact of Rahu and Ketu’s transits

In the realm of astrology, planetary transits are pivotal in understanding the dynamic energies influencing an individual’s life at any given moment. Specifically, the transits of Rahu and Ketu, the lunar nodes, are of profound significance. Unlike other planets that transit relatively quickly, Rahu and Ketu take approximately 18 months to transit through a single zodiac sign. This extended period enables them to profoundly impact life events and initiate transformative phases.

Rahu’s transit often brings a surge of ambition, desire, and material pursuits. It can catalyse moments of intense focus on professional achievements, social status, and the acquisition of wealth. Conversely, Ketu’s transit tends to emphasise spiritual growth, detachment, and introspection. It encourages individuals to look inward, often leading to periods of self-discovery and the shedding of materialistic attachments.

These transits are not only symbolic, but they can also manifest as real-life events and shifts. For instance, during Rahu’s transit through a significant house in one’s natal chart, one might experience career advancements, sudden travel opportunities, or a heightened interest in unconventional pursuits. On the other hand, Ketu’s transit might coincide with a desire to retreat from public life, pursue spiritual practices, or confront past life karmas that require resolution.

Observing Rahu and Ketu’s transits is crucial for understanding the current challenges and opportunities one may face. For astrologers, these transits provide a roadmap for navigating periods of upheaval or growth. By recognising the specific energies at play, individuals can make informed decisions, harnessing the positive aspects while mitigating potential difficulties.

Ultimately, the transits of Rahu and Ketu offer a window into the cyclical nature of life, emphasising the balance between the material and spiritual realms. Understanding their impact aids in aligning one’s actions with the broader karmic lessons intended for personal and spiritual evolution.

Balancing Rahu and Ketu energies

Balancing the energies of Rahu and Ketu is crucial to mitigating their karmic influences and achieving harmony in one’s life. Traditional Vedic practices offer various methods to address the imbalances caused by these celestial bodies. Among the most common remedies are mantras, rituals, gemstones, and fasting.

Chanting specific mantras dedicated to Rahu and Ketu can help pacify their adverse effects. People often recite the Rahu mantra “Om Raam Rahave Namah” and the Ketu mantra “Om Kem Ketave Namah” with devotion to seek their blessings. Regular chanting during specific times, such as Rahu or Ketu’s planetary hours, can amplify their positive impact.

We recommend rituals and poojas, especially on auspicious days like Rahu and Ketu Kalasarpadosha days. These rituals, conducted by knowledgeable priests, aim to appease the deities and reduce their malefic effects. Additionally, wearing gemstones such as hessonite (for Rahu) and cat’s eye (for Ketu) can be beneficial. These stones, when worn according to astrological guidance, can enhance positive attributes while minimising negative influences.

Fasting on specific days associated with Rahu and Ketu, such as Saturdays for Rahu and Tuesdays for Ketu, is another traditional method to balance their energies. Abstaining from certain foods and practicing mindfulness during these fasts can foster spiritual growth and mental clarity.

Modern approaches to balancing the Rahu and Ketu energies include meditation, mindfulness, and therapy. Meditation practices, particularly those focusing on the chakras, can help harmonise the subtle energies within the body. Mindfulness techniques, which encourage present-moment awareness, can mitigate the anxiety and restlessness often associated with Rahu. Similarly, therapeutic interventions can assist individuals in understanding and transforming deep-seated karmic patterns linked to Ketu.

Ultimately, achieving balance requires a conscious effort. Combining traditional Vedic practices with modern approaches can create a holistic strategy for managing the energies of Rahu and Ketu. Through consistent practice and dedication, one can navigate the karmic influences of these celestial bodies, fostering a life of balance and harmony.

Confronting the trials posed by Rahu can lead to a deeper understanding of one’s ambitions and the areas in life that require more effort and growth. By recognising and embracing these lessons, individuals can work towards achieving their true potential.

Conversely, Ketu, the South Node, represents past life experiences and the skills we have already mastered. While Ketu can sometimes signify areas of comfort, it also calls for detachment and letting go of outdated patterns. Embracing Ketu’s influence can help individuals release what no longer serves them, paving the way for new experiences and growth. This detachment is often challenging, but it is essential for moving forward and evolving spiritually.

By integrating the lessons of Rahu and Ketu, individuals can strive for a balanced and fulfilling life. Understanding these nodes allows for a more conscious approach to present actions, fostering a sense of purpose and direction.

The Saturn, Sadesati and Lord of Karma in Vedic Astrology

Introduction

Saturn occupies a significant position in Vedic astrology, being recognized as a highly potent and prominent celestial body. Saturn referred to as ‘Shani’ in the Sanskrit language, this celestial body is commonly linked to the principles of discipline, diligent effort, and the acquisition of karmic wisdom. The celestial trajectory of Saturn within the zodiac is meticulously observed due to its profound influence on all facets of human existence, encompassing domains such as professional pursuits and interpersonal connections. The ‘Sade sati’ period, a widely discussed phenomenon associated with Saturn, is said to be characterized by notable transformations and obstacles.

The mythology of Sade sati is centered on the notion that during the transit of Saturn through the twelfth, first, and second houses of an individual’s moon sign, a significant time of profound change may occur. The duration of this phenomenon is commonly estimated to be approximately seven and a half years, during which it is believed to evaluate an individual’s fortitude, endurance, and adaptability.

The Impact of Saturn and Sadesati on Human Life

During the Sadesati phase, individuals may encounter challenges, interruptions, and hindrances in diverse domains of life. Nevertheless, it is crucial to bear in mind that this particular timeframe has both positive and negative aspects. This experience presents an opportunity for personal development, introspection, and acquisition of significant life knowledge.

From a psychological perspective, Sadesati has the potential to compel individuals to confront their fears, address their deficiencies, and cultivate inner resilience. The process has the potential to facilitate a profound metamorphosis and enable individuals to liberate themselves from constricting beliefs and attitudes. Numerous individuals who have experienced the astrological phenomenon known as Sadesati have attested to the occurrence of heightened levels of maturity, emotional stability, and a reinforced sense of self.

Exploring the Saturn and the Sadesati Expedition

Although the Sadesati era may appear intimidating, it is crucial to approach this phase with a positive outlook and a mindset focused on personal development. Instead of harbouring anxiety towards the various problems that arise, it is more beneficial to perceive them as occasions for personal and spiritual growth. The following are few strategies for effectively navigating the Sadesati period:

• Engage in the practise of self-care, which involves attending to one’s physical, mental, and emotional well-being.
• Participate in endeavours that elicit feelings of happiness and contribute to your state of relaxation.
• Maintain a sense of practicality and realism. In order to foster a sense of connection with one’s inner self and uphold emotional equilibrium, it is advisable to engage in a regular practise of meditation or mindfulness.
• Request guidance: Engage in consultation with a proficient astrologer who possesses expertise in interpreting individual birth charts and discerning the prevailing astrological influences.
• It is vital to adopt a receptive attitude towards change.
• It is important to have a mindset that is receptive to change and adaptable in nature.
• It is important to acknowledge that change is an inherent aspect of human existence and has the potential to engender novel prospects and personal development.
• Evolve self learning, Spiritual evolution and Living life down to earth.

It is important to note that the impact of Saturn and Sadesati should be viewed as a mechanism for fostering individual development, rather than a form of retribution. Through a comprehensive comprehension of the historical narratives and a wholehearted acceptance of the transformative process, individuals can effectively navigate this temporal phase with elegance and ultimately emerge fortified and more resilient than ever before.

So , lets explore the journey of understanding Saturn and effect of sadesati on human life.

What is the definition of Karma’s and Role of Saturn ?

In accordance with Hinduism, the concept of divine fairness posits that God grants mankind the capacity to exercise free will in their choices between virtuous and malevolent actions. Consequently, the outcome of an individual’s actions is contingent upon the moral quality of their decision-making. Furthermore, it is believed that the collective choices made by humanity collectively contribute to the shaping of their hidden destinies. In this context, we are discussing the Karmas that pertain to our daily lives.

These Karmas are associated with the 3rd house from the 4th house, the 6th house, and the 6th lord. They arise from our ideas and are manifested through practical actions in the 10th house. Importantly, these Karmas are within the realm of our conscious mind and can be freely undertaken by ourselves.

In the realm of general practise, it is commonly seen that the examination of stored desires can be accomplished by examining the natural Karka sign, Aquarius, as well as the 4th house, which represents the Karka of the mind. By doing so, valuable insights can be gained into the potential outcomes of one’s Karmas, whether they be positive or negative, in subsequent births, based on their past actions.

Karma serves as the catalyst for the whole sequence of cause and effect, commonly referred to as Sansara-Venus (Maya). In order to achieve moksha (salvation), one must first deplete the entirety of their accumulated karmas, known as Pra-rabdha, by fully experiencing their consequences.

The concept of karma might be likened to that of a seed, as it often does not yield instant results upon its initial planting.

The generation of several karmic seeds is facilitated by our own acts, encompassing speech, thoughts, and deeds. Consequently, it is imperative to examine the comprehensive chart in its entirety. The examination of the tenth house from Mercury reveals the influence of our speech and conscious mind on our acts. Specifically, if the tenth house from Mercury is occupied by Mars, it may result in a speaker who is harsh or displays arrogance and rudeness. Thus, our speech is intricately connected to our karmic actions, either directly or indirectly. In the context of astrological beliefs, it is posited that the influence of Jupiter, when positioned as the 10th celestial body from the Moon, may engender individuals who exhibit virtuous qualities, possess healing abilities, demonstrate profound contemplation, exhibit extensive knowledge, or serve as spiritual catalysts. This influence is believed to directly impact the cognitive processes of the individual in question, as well as those in their immediate vicinity.

Saturn, Karma and Bhagwat Geeta 

According to the Bhagavad Gita, the road of action, also known as karma, is described as enigmatic, and the Law of Karma is deemed unfathomable. Determining the specific karmic factors that contribute to the development of cancer, as well as discerning whether the consumption of a particular fruit is the consequence of a singular karmic action or a confluence of multiple karmic actions, presents a challenging endeavour. Determining the origin of the fruit that one presently derives pleasure from poses a challenge, ascertaining whether it is a result of the karma accumulated in the present lifetime or a consequence of past-life karmas, namely the Sanchita karma.

Under appropriate conditions, karmas that have reached maturity have the potential to yield outcomes during the same lifetime.

Karma is a philosophical concept that encompasses the principle of cause and effect, wherein actions and reactions are believed to have a direct correlation. It is often associated with notions of cosmic justice and individual accountability. The concept of cause and effect, also known as the law of sowing and reaping, operates in a rational manner whereby the outcomes one experiences are directly proportional and accurately determined, as administered by a higher power in accordance with cosmic rules. Karma can be likened to the laws of gravity in terms of predictability, as it posits that the consequences one experiences are a direct outcome of their actions towards others.

The individual who inflicts harm upon others will inevitably experience harm upon themselves at a later point in time. The Law of Karma include a crucial and inherently uncertain element known as the “delivery” or repercussions, which are under the authority of a higher power.

The concept of karma initiates the propulsion of an individual’s soul on a personal odyssey across the expanse of the universe. The concept of karma culminates when an individual attains mastery in the practise of performing actions without attachment or desire, solely in a selfless manner.

The Bhagwad Geeta elucidates that the attainment of detachment from the fruits of one’s actions, known as Karma-phala, can be achieved via the diligent pursuit of self-improvement along the path to the Divine. This involves the practise of diverse yogic disciplines.

In the course of our daily existence, Lord Shani Dev vigilantly observes our accumulated and ongoing actions, enabling us to comprehend the true nature of our actions and their significant impact on our life. The cumulative result of an individual’s four karmas determines their birth, as each person is born depending on the totality of their collected karmas. If an individual has accumulated negative prarabdha (karma from former lives), they are always bound to experience its consequences in each subsequent birth, as this outcome is solely determined by the volition of the divine entity.

When the obligation to repay arises, it becomes imperative to acknowledge this responsibility. However, it is possible to rationalise these debts by engaging in virtuous actions throughout our continuous existence. The positive karma of an individual has the potential to counteract and neutralise the negative karma of another individual. The 10th house is considered the primary source of all ongoing karmic activities, and Lord Saturn has significant importance in comprehending many aspects of karma in an individual’s life.

From an astrological standpoint, it is recommended to examine the 10th house relative to Saturn in order to gain insight into the various acts we engage in during our daily routines. These actions encompass a wide range of emotions and inclinations, such as want, aversion, love, hatred, and happiness, occurring on a continuous basis throughout each moment or second. The presence of benefic or malefic influences in the 10th house relative to Saturn is likely to provide either favourable or negative outcomes, depending on the inherent character of the actions or Karama. These consequences may manifest in the present lifetime or perhaps in a subsequent lifetime. The fourth house and moon are influential in generating wishes for karmas, whereas the actual execution of these wants is contingent upon the tenth house.

Prior to delving into the subject matter, it is imperative to have a comprehensive understanding of the entity known as Shani-Dev and the manner in which this entity harmonises and regulates the karmic deeds inside the life of an individual.

Saturn, known as Shani or Shana-ish-chara in Sanskrit, is referred to as the sluggish mover or the Manda Gati. It is also denoted by the term Shane-Shane, which signifies its characteristic of moving at a leisurely pace. From an astronomical perspective, it is noteworthy that among the celestial bodies, Saturn possesses the unique characteristic of exhibiting an extended duration within a given zodiac sign due to its comparatively sluggish motion. This phenomenon is attributed to the fact that Saturn requires around two and a half years to traverse a single zodiacal sign or progress through each constellation within the sidereal zodiac.

According to the Linga Purana, Lord Shani-Dev (Saturn) is said to have originated from Rudra, the solar deity. According to the Markandeya Purana, Saturn is described as the offspring of the sun god and his consort, Chaya, who is symbolically associated with the concept of shadow. The chilly and arid nature of Saturn can be attributed to its deep core structure. The individual possesses an inherent purity and satwik disposition inside, however in the context of Jyotish terminology, their external demeanour is characterised as tamasik, exhibiting forthrightness and a propensity for anger.

The individual’s sluggishness is commonly seen as lethargy, although a closer examination reveals that this perception does not align with the true nature of his condition. The individual’s leisurely pace contributes to a prolonged journey towards the intended goal, which is also notable for its rich historical background. Additionally, the protagonist’s association with Sandhya, his maternal figure, bestows upon him the attributes of wisdom and advanced age. The individual’s visual acuity is regarded as impaired, and he is reputed to possess a malevolent nature, albeit exclusively towards individuals engaged in or associated with negative karmic deeds across multiple lifetimes.

The Significance of the Saturn and Sade sati in Vedic Astrology

According to popular belief, Saturn is often associated with the potential destruction of the house it influences. However, in reality, Saturn primarily presents challenges in relation to the specific house it affects. The outcome varies depending on factors such as the placement of Saturn in a malefic or enemy sign, with the exception being the seventh house where Saturn can bring positive outcomes due to its directional strength. Conversely, when Saturn is positioned in a friendly or neutral sign, it has the tendency to enhance the qualities of the house it influences. The results also differ based on whether Saturn aspects or conjoins with other signs and houses. When Saturn is well placed, it bestows individuals with qualities such as integrity, wisdom, spirituality, fame, patience, leadership abilities, authority, longevity, organisational skills, sincerity, honesty, a sense of justice, and a keen awareness of moral principles.

When Saturn is positioned unfavourably in relation to a hostile celestial body or within a dwelling where the strength of Ashtakavrga is diminished, it has the potential to manifest various adversities for the individual, including but not limited to, personal distress, sorrow, delays, hindrances, disappointments, conflicts, despondency, and challenges. However, it is important to note that these difficulties may serve as valuable lessons pertaining to the specific house in question, allowing for the filtration of karmic seeds. Individuals influenced by Saturn tend to exhibit defensive tendencies, nervousness, and a proclivity for secrecy, yet they also possess commendable qualities such as honesty, responsibility, and loyalty. In the realm of worldly affairs, Saturn governs the western direction, Saturday is designated as its day, black is its associated colour, and the blue sapphire gemstone is attributed to Saturn. In the realm of Vedic numerology, Saturn holds dominion over the number 8.

In order to have a comprehensive comprehension of the various facets of Saturn, it is imperative to delve into the philosophical underpinnings and contextual backdrop associated with the archetype of a teacher or a stringent mentor.

Fundamentals Principals of the Saturn Aspects 

The following discourse elucidates the astrological and philosophical significance of the four esteemed mantras associated with Lord Saturn :

1) The Influence of Saturn in a Specific House ( Saturn Placement Effect ) : In this context, Saturn serves as a guiding force, emphasizing the importance of practicality. It encourages individuals to embrace authenticity, loyalty, and honesty, while also emphasizing the need for self-identification within the natural order. Saturn typically diminishes negative qualities and associated characteristics within the house it occupies (for instance, if located in the 8th house, it may promote spiritual growth and alleviate fears, concerns about mortality, sexuality, and losses related to that particular house). Through this transformative process, Saturn facilitates the cultivation of positivity, infusing enthusiasm and imparting profound realization’s. By rectifying past mistakes and errors through the application of wisdom gained from previous experiences, Saturn acts as a catalyst for personal growth and rejuvenation, ultimately shaping a more favourable future trajectory. In essence, Saturn assumes the role of a trailblazer, purging the house of all negativity.

2) Saturn Direct Aspect (Lifelong Challenges): Be Prepared for Open Challenges: Here Saturn gives an equally challenging environment and opponents who can test your abilities and patience where it directly aspects, and it keeps pointing you to prepare yourself for your whole life for these open challenges. Here, Saturnine energy is directing you. Hey you! You are weak and not prepared for future life actions, and you need to work hard in this area as you lack the required energy for betterment. He is suggesting you never take a back step, never fear; you have to accept it in any case, and you have to face this challenge in your whole life unless you never become balanced and perfect, which you are feeling you can’t face in a long race. Here, Saturn is teaching you to rise as a winner. Never neglect your responsibilities; prioritise them and work hard on them. This is your open challenge area for your whole life and an important part of it. Don’t ignore it; prepare yourself and make it better for your future path.

3) Saturn 3rd House Aspect  ( Test of Courage, willpower and Free will ) :  The third aspect of Saturn presents individuals with challenging tasks and demanding environments that they must confront in various situations. Saturn aims to test one’s courage, willpower, and mental resilience by consistently directing them towards tasks that necessitate boldness. This metaphorical representation prompts individuals to question whether they possess the necessary attributes to fearlessly complete the tasks they perceive as insurmountable. Saturn serves as a teacher, urging individuals to eliminate the notion of “no” from their vocabulary and instead rely on their willpower and courage to overcome any obstacles associated with the specific house and sign. The lesson is to boldly and promptly finish tasks without succumbing to fear or procrastination.

4) Saturn 10th Aspect ( What need to be done, rightful karma and actions in society ) :  Saturn’s 10th Aspect, also known as the Ultimate Goal, pertains to the notion that work is akin to a workshop that presents challenges. It involves recognizing that life is not solely about enjoyment, but rather about striving to achieve higher goals that are bestowed upon individuals by a higher power in each successive birth. This process entails evolving and progressing towards these goals amidst openly challenging circumstances and interactions with negative individuals. These challenges may arise from the environment or society, manifesting in the form of opposition to one’s endeavours. Consequently, Saturn advises individuals to utilise these adversities as opportunities for growth and to intelligently navigate encounters with those who consistently oppose their work. Society, in this context, is viewed as a catalyst for personal development, urging individuals to tap into the gifts bestowed upon them and employ them effectively. By doing so, individuals can elevate themselves with the aid of their unwavering spirit.

The study of Saturn historically as depicted in Vedic/Puranic scriptures

Scriptural Reference from Puranas  

Based on ancient legends and scriptural accounts, Saturn is believed to have been born to Sun and Chaya, also known as Swarna. It is said that during the moment of Saturn’s birth, the Sun experienced a profound illness as a result of the inauspicious aspect of Saturn’s gaze. Consequently, a longstanding conflict has persisted between the father and son, as symbolised by the Sun-Saturn Aspect.

According to several Hindu Puranas, Shani is regarded as the progeny of Surya, the solar deity, and Chhaya, symbolising gloom. Yamaraj is identified as Shani’s sibling, while Yamuna is recognised as his sister. Shani’s hue is associated with Indraneel Mani, sometimes referred to as Neelam, which corresponds to the colour blue sapphire.

Numerous narratives exist pertaining to the origin of Shani Dev. The most widely acknowledged account is found within the ancient text known as the ‘Skanda Purana’. According to one particular rendition, the birth of Shani Dev unfolds as follows: The deity Surya was united in matrimony with Sandhya, the daughter of the divine architect Vishwakarma.

Sandhya’s inability to tolerate the luminosity emitted by the deity Surya led her to believe that through perseverance, she could enhance her own brilliance. Alternatively, she entertained the notion that her penance could diminish the overwhelming radiance of Surya. It is important to note that Sandhya worshipped Surya as her spouse, and it was through divine intervention that they were blessed with three offspring: Vaivastahva Manu, Yama Raj, and Yamuna. Despite her deep affection for her children, Sandhya remained greatly distressed by the intense radiance emanating from Surya. Consequently, she contemplated separating from him and seeking solace in her parents’ abode, where she intended to engage in rigorous penance. Should any opposition arise, Sandhya resolved to relocate to a remote and secluded location to undertake her arduous penitential practises.

Through her act of penance, Sandhya manifested a doppelgänger named Suvarna, who represented her shadow self. Sandhya entrusted her three children to Chaya, instructing her to assume the role of a mother figure and care for them. Sandhya assured Chaya that she could rely on her assistance in times of trouble, emphasising the importance of maintaining the distinction between Chaya and Sandhya, and ensuring that this distinction remained concealed from others.

The individual in question relinquished her duties to Chaya and departed for her parental residence. Upon arrival, she disclosed to her father her inability to endure the brilliance of the deity Surya. Consequently, she had left without informing her spouse. In response, her father reproached her severely, cautioning that her uninvited return would bring a curse upon both her and himself. He instructed her to promptly return to her marital home. Subsequently, Sandhya became apprehensive about the fate of the responsibilities entrusted to Chaya should she comply with her father’s directive. The whereabouts of Chaya also became a concern.

In light of the potential revelation of their clandestine activities, Sandhya sought solace in the densely forested regions of Uttar Kurukshetra.

The protagonist experienced apprehension regarding her personal safety within the jungle due to her youthful appearance and physical attractiveness. Consequently, she assumed the guise of a mare in order to conceal her true identity and initiated a period of penance. In a separate narrative, the divine union between God Surya and Chaya resulted in the birth of three offspring. Surya and Chaya enjoyed a harmonious relationship, characterised by Surya’s unwavering trust. The progeny of Chaya consisted of Manu, God Shani, and Putri Bhadra (Tapti).

According to the second narrative, the manifestation of God Shani occurred as a consequence of the esteemed ‘yagna’ conducted by Maharishi Kashyap. During the gestation period of God Shani within the womb of Chaya, Shiv Bhaktini Chaya exhibited a profound level of devotion towards God Shiva, to the extent that she neglected her own sustenance.

The intensity of her prayers throughout her penance exerted a remarkable affect on the developing child within her womb. The complexion of God Shani turned black as a consequence of Chaya’s rigorous penance, during which she endured exposure to the scorching sun without sustenance or shelter. Upon the birth of God Shani, Surya was taken aback by the presence of his dusky skin. The individual commenced to harbour scepticism against Chaya. Chaya was subjected to derogatory remarks when he asserted that the child in question was not his offspring.

Since his birth, God Shani has inherited the immense powers resulting from his mother’s rigorous penance.

The individual observed his father engaging in verbal abuse towards his mother. He observed his father with a malevolent stare. Consequently, the paternal figure’s physical form exhibited a burned black appearance. The equine companions of the celestial deity Surya came to a halt, bringing his divine chariot to a standstill. The chariot exhibited a lack of mobility. Filled with concern, the deity Surya beseeched the presence of the divine entity Shiva. The deity Shiva provided counsel to the deity Surya, elucidating the events that had transpired. As a result of his actions, the reverence for both the mother and infant has been compromised and subjected to derogation. The deity Surya acknowledged his wrongdoing and expressed remorse. The protagonist experienced a restoration of his former resplendent appearance and the revitalization of his chariot’s equine strength. Subsequently, God Shani has assumed the role of a dutiful offspring to his paternal and maternal figures, while also displaying unwavering devotion as a pupil of God Shiva.

Based on other scriptural and legendary accounts, as documented in the Brahma Purana, it is asserted that Saturn exhibited unwavering devotion towards Lord Krishna and was captivated by his divine presence. In light of this proclivity, the Sun entered into matrimony with the daughter of Chitra Rath, namely Saturn. Saturn’s spouse had remarkable strength, potency, and humility. Param Tejasvi, the consort of Saturn, approached her husband with the intention of beseeching him for the gift of progeny. However, Shani Dev was preoccupied with engaging in meditation and offering prayers to Lord Krishna. Following a prolonged period of waiting, the protagonist’s spouse became increasingly agitated and expressed her discontent by invoking a curse against Shani, beseeching that anyone and everyone encountered by him shall face utter destruction. Consequently, she invoked a curse upon Saturn, proclaiming that any anyone who encountered him would suffer complete annihilation. Due to the aforementioned characteristics, Saturn was deemed weak and its influence was believed to possess the potential to bring about destruction upon individuals.

Saturn made efforts to persuade her, and she ultimately acknowledged her error. However, she was unable to retract the curse. Saturn assumed a downward gaze, motivated by a desire to prevent harm to others. This results in Shani consistently maintaining a lowered head posture.

This narrative elucidates the detrimental influence of the drishti (aspect) of Shani.

The Significance of Saturn in Vedic Astrology

According to the principles of Vedic astrology, Saturn is often regarded as auspicious when positioned within a specific house, while its influence on the houses it aspects is typically perceived as unfavourable. The perceived harm associated with Saturn’s influence stems from its role in imparting spiritual and worldly teachings through these aspected homes, which are essentially regarded as arenas for personal growth and developmental problems in one’s present life. Shani exhibits influence over the 3rd, 7th, and 10th houses, including a span of 270 degrees in orbital distance. One may envision the substantial magnetic impact exerted by Saturn based on its occupied position.

Shani strongly disapproves of behaviours such as fraudulent activities, deceit, dishonesty, alcohol consumption, gambling, neglecting personal hygiene, engaging in animal cruelty, and showing contempt towards God, parents, or elders.

If Shani assumes a favourable placement within an individual’s birth chart, it is likely that said individual will experience progress in various facets of life. This progress may manifest in the form of diligent work ethic, equitable conduct, and a propensity for justice. Additionally, individuals with a favourable Shani placement may enjoy a commendable social standing and a relatively healthy physical condition. Conversely, an unfavourable positioning of Shani within a birth chart may result in adverse consequences such as damage to one’s residence, occurrences of fires, accumulation of debt, disputes, and the loss of financial assets and property.

The adverse positioning of the planet Saturn, commonly referred to as “Shani,” is associated with the occurrence of dental and ocular abnormalities during early development. Historically, the movements of Saturn, often regarded as the “Great Malefic,” were met with trepidation and accompanied by cautionary messages conveyed by astrologers to their clients. These messages forewarned individuals about potential scarcity, misfortune, significant setbacks, or challenging situations.

The gift of Saturn lies in the pressure it exerts, which serves to maintain our focus on our individual journey. Similar to the zodiac sign it governs, Capricorn, Saturn’s gravity stems from the understanding that certain objectives necessitate persevering through apprehension in order to cultivate greater internal discipline. Jupiter, on the other hand, counterbalances this by instilling faith, optimism, and confidence that the diligent efforts invested will ultimately yield fruitful outcomes.

The planet Saturn does not guarantee success, nevertheless, by methodically outlining the necessary steps and persevering along this trajectory despite potential distractions and uncertainties, individuals can gradually attain a level of expertise that aligns with the standards set by Saturn. This process ultimately leads to the development of unwavering self-confidence.

The influence of Saturn is often perceived as weighty and constraining, which aligns with the inherent characteristics of the physical realm. In instances where individuals feel overwhelmed, inert, or despondent, they may relinquish their autonomy and grant authority to another figure. This authority can manifest in various forms, such as a superior at work, a paternal figure, a spouse, an educator, a confidant, or even an internalised critical voice. Following a period of sufficient humility, individuals may ultimately choose to assert their independence and assume the role of self-governance.

The astrological placement of Saturn in one’s natal chart, specifically in terms of its sign and house position, indicates the potential areas in which significant life challenges may manifest. Despite any negative connotations associated with this celestial body, it is important to recognise that Saturn should not be regarded with fear. In fact, the attainment of success following the overcoming of obstacles can be profoundly fulfilling, accompanied by a profound and enduring understanding of life. This invaluable outcome is bestowed upon our individual destinies by the influence of Saturn, also known as Shani.

According to belief, Prajapati and Yam are considered to be the Adhidevta and Pratyadhidevta of Saturn, respectively.

Saturn is associated with Lord Krishna’s lineage and is depicted as riding a vulture and a chariot crafted from iron. Additionally, Saturn is recognised by other appellations, including Asit, Aarki, Chhayatmaj, Mand, Shanaishchar, Suryaputra, Ravij, Pangu, Saur, and Bhaskari.

In Vedic astrology, Saturn is considered the Karak planet for the 6th, 8th, and 10th houses, as well as for the concept of detachment.

Saturn serves as the significator planet for coal, iron, eggplants, garments of black or blue hue, split black lentils, black grapes, and Indian blackberries.

Saturn is widely regarded as a Karak planet for objects exhibiting a blue hue. It is commonly linked to the anatomical structures of ligaments and the stomach. In the context of detachment, Saturn’s potency within the Kundali is crucial for attaining success. Additionally, Saturn can be associated with the domains of sculpting, service, agriculture, and the labouring class. Furthermore, Saturn’s influence extends to the temporal aspects of an individual’s life, particularly their age and longevity. Favourable placement of Saturn within a horoscope is believed to bestow a prolonged lifespan.

Despite its negative reputation, Saturn is widely regarded as a symbol of instruction and guidance. It exhibits characteristics akin to those of an educator, disciplining individuals for their transgressions while rewarding them for their virtuous actions. Furthermore, Saturn is associated with the concept of justice, assuming the role of a judge and dispensing equitable outcomes based on an individual’s conduct. Consequently, individuals who engage in wrongdoing and possess unfavorable karma are duly recompensed.

Saturn governs the skeletal structure of the human body, particularly the larger bones found in the legs. In accordance with its inherent nature, Saturn is associated with the manifestation of chronic ailments that tend to persist over an extended period of time, often proving to be challenging to remedy. Consequently, individuals afflicted by such conditions must endure prolonged periods of illness. Moreover, those influenced by Saturn’s energy are compelled to exert significant effort in their endeavors throughout life. Saturn symbolizes the laboring class, individuals who toil diligently to secure meagre sustenance. Additionally, Saturn exercises dominion over land and subterranean resources, thereby exerting control over mining operations. Iron is the metal associated with Saturn, while its representative colors are black and blue. The zodiac signs governed by Saturn are Capricorn and Aquarius, with its exaltation occurring in Libra and debilitation in Aries. Aquarius serves as Saturn’s moon-trikona sign.

Saturn is characterized by its adherence to discipline and strictness, and it strongly opposes chaos and disobedience. In the realm of Hindu astrology, Saturn holds significant importance. This celestial body instills fear in individuals due to its unwavering commitment to discipline and strictness. The gradual movement of Saturn across the zodiac offers two significant periods known as Sade Sati and Dahiya. These periods occur multiple times throughout an individual’s life. Sade Sati refers to the phase when Saturn transits the twelfth and second houses relative to the natal moon. Similarly, the period of Dahiya occurs when Saturn is positioned between the fourth and eighth houses from the natal moon. The duration of Sade Sati spans seven and a half years, while the period of Dhaiya lasts for two and a half years.

These two periods are widely acknowledged as challenging phases in an individual’s life. During this time, individuals encounter several adversities and difficulties without receiving any relief or support. From an astrological perspective, this period is believed to be conducive to personal growth and enlightenment, despite the hardships experienced.

Conclusion : 

The experience of enduring hardship can be seen as a means of atoning for one’s transgressions. This concept allows for an examination of the contrasting characteristics of Mars and Saturn. Specifically, individuals influenced by Mars may be driven towards criminal behaviour or theft as a result of the difficulties they face. Conversely, Saturn’s influence prompts individuals to embark on a spiritual journey, compelling them to reflect upon the actions that have led to their current state of suffering. Over time, this process leads to a transformation towards righteousness.

Concept_of_Runanubandha_Rinanubandhan

 

Written, Compiled and Researched

by Rocky Jamwal | Re-edited : January 2024 

Introduction

Become familiar with the idea of karma and the relationship it has with runanubandha. Discover how our actions and intentions impact the experiences we have now and will have in the future. Examine the relevance of karmic ties and the ways in which they impact the relationships we have and the situations we find ourselves in. Explore the ways in which gaining an awareness of karma might enable us to make decisions that are conscious and so build a life that is more satisfying and meaningful.

First and foremost, it is essential that you have a solid understanding of the concepts of karama and karmic ties, as well as the ways in which these are connected to the debts of the past. Clearly, this demonstrates the cause for those seeds and how they are connected to previous incarnations. As will be shown in the following paragraphs, karmic deeds are neither a punishment nor a reward; rather, they are only a means of gaining insight into oneself and the unmet desires that continue to return from previous births in the cosmic cycle.

Understanding Runanubandha, Karma, and Karmic Connections

Karma is a notion that has its origins firmly ingrained in a wide variety of philosophical and spiritual institutions. It is the conviction that our deeds, intentions, and ideas all have repercussions that have an effect on the experiences we have as well as those we will have in the future. Every every action that we perform leaves an energy imprint that has an effect not only on our own lives but also on the lives of others around us, according to this concept.
The idea of runanubandha is one facet of karma that is often disregarded by people. Our karmic ties or debts with other people are referred to as runanubandha, which is a phrase that originates from the Sanskrit language. It is the concept that we are connected to other people as a result of the repercussions of our acts in the past, and that these ties have a substantial part in determining the situations that we are now facing.

Understanding Karma

The concept of karma is often characterized as a circle of cause and consequence. Every action that we perform will have a corresponding result, according to the rule of action and reaction, which states that they are inextricably linked. In addition to our physical and mental well-being, our relationships, and the circumstances of our lives, these repercussions may present themselves in a variety of different ways.

Keeping in mind that karma is not just about punishment or reward is an essential point to keep in mind. The system in question is not one of divine judgment; rather, it is a natural rule that functions in an unbiased manner. We are not subject to the influence of an outside force; rather, the outcomes of our activities are the direct result of the decisions that we exercise.

Samskaras are impressions or imprints that are created on our awareness as a result of our actions, intentions, and thoughts. These samskaras build throughout time and have an effect on the experiences that we will have in the future. Actions and intentions that are good lead to positive results, while actions and intentions that are bad lead to negative consequences.

Exploring Runanubandha

Through its emphasis on the interconnection of all creatures, Runanubandha develops the idea of karma and expands upon its definition. Essentially, it implies that we are connected to other people via a complex network of karmic relationships. These connections are developed by our encounters and relationships with other people, both in this incarnation and in prior lifetimes.

The concept of runanubandha suggests that every individual we come into contact with has a karmic tie to us. These associations may be either favorable or negative, depending on the nature of the activities that we have taken in the past. As an instance, we could have good connections with those who have assisted us in the past, whereas negative connections may exist with others whom we have caused damage to.

These karmic ties have an impact on the situations and relationships we are now experiencing. These things have the potential to influence the people we bring into our lives, the lessons we need to learn, and the difficulties we have to overcome. Insights into the patterns and dynamics of our interactions may be gained via the process of comprehending and accepting these connections.

The Significance of Karmic Connections

One of the most transformational experiences we may have is when we become aware of and comprehend our karmic ties. It enables us to accept responsibility for the acts we have taken and the results those actions have produced. It is possible for us to get a more profound comprehension of both ourselves and the relationships we have if we acknowledge these connections.

In addition, taking the time to acknowledge our karmic links may assist us in breaking away from destructive behaviors and cycles. It gives us the ability to think things through and make decisions that are in line with our goals and ideals. Through the cultivation of good acts, intentions, and ideas, we have the ability to realize a life that is more harmonious and meaningful.

It is essential to approach the idea of karmic links with an open mind and heart in order to get the best results. In spite of the fact that it may be tempting to place blame or seek retribution, the fundamental meaning of karma rests in the process of human development and change. We are able to break away from the cycle of bad karma and create a world that is more positive and loving if we concentrate on our own acts and intentions.

In conclusion, knowledge of karma and the notion of runanubandha, which is closely tied to it, provides significant insights into the interwoven nature of our lives. It is possible for us to gain the ability to make conscious decisions and to build a life that is more satisfying and meaningful if we have an understanding of the karmic ties we have with other people and the repercussions of our actions.

Story Begins :  Mahabharata , Bhisma, Arjuna and Runanubandhan

Oh,  Pandavas !  The actions that we have taken in the past have resulted in everything. The seeds of plants will never germinate if they are not planted.

In a similar vein, actions that were carried out in the past, whether they were good or terrible, have the potential to bring about positive or negative outcomes in the present. One may acquire huge fortune in the present without exerting any effort if they have made charitable contributions in the past.
Tapas that were prepared in the past bring about joys in the present.

Through the performance of service to elders and gurus in previous lifetimes, one is able to acquire knowledge and intellect without having to formally study under any guru. If a person is able to observe non-violence in their previous life, then they will continue to live for a significant amount of time in their current existence.

Because of this, sadhus, also known as saints, constantly practice nonviolence, donate to charitable causes, respect gurus, and serve elders and visitors, among other things. Then and only then will they be able to take pleasure in the next death. To put it another way, it is all about carrying out good or bad karmas in the past in order to achieve a positive or negative outcome in the present.

(Mahabharta,  Bhishma Parva,chapters 43 – 124)

Behind the Scenes: Figuring Out What the Story Is Trying to Say

Its the Karama that become the reason of this birth, after accumulating new karamas it leads to the basis of your next birth. After the death, soul of a person gathers all accumulated karamas from current one like a reservoir in that person’s mind. Later Divinity or God as per the divine Karmic law takes a handful of those Karmas and further it leads to a new karmic seed in the form of body.

So if a person has done good Karmas with those individual people, he/she might gets a good godly body in heavens first and then further they takes birth in a same learned, Religious and dutiful families, forms Close association with those family members in as a brother, sister, mother or father as a part of Karmic Rina, those having done good karama with that soul, during this whole process they enjoys relations with them.

If he/she has done bad karmas in past life then that person’s soul further goes to lower wombs of birds and animals.After moving through those lower Varnas, exhausting bad karmic seeds Soul further takes birth in those families having bad pending karmic deeds with them to further clear off debts in the form of karmic relations.This way process of Birth and death in the karmic relations keep going on unless and until karmas neutralises into zero.

Law of Karama and Runanubandhan as per Bhagwad  Geeta

Below are verses of Bhagwat Gita further justifies the Laws of Karama and connection with the Runanubandhan Theory:

“sariram yad avapnoti yac chapy utkramatishvarah grhitvaitani samyati vayur gandhan ivasayat”

(Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Fifteen verse 8)

 

“Sri Krishna said:O Arjuna, As the wind carries away odours from their seat, even so the Jivatma (soul), the lord of the body, snatching these (the mind & the senses) from the body, which it casts off, migrates into the body, which it acquires.

“yada sattve pravrddhe tu pralayam yati deha-bhrt
tadottama-vidam lokan amalan pratipadyate”

(Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Fourteen verse 14)

“Sri Krishna said: O Arjuna, When one dies in the mode of goodness, he attains to the pure higher planets of the great sages.”

“rajasi pralayam gatva karma-sangisu jayate
tatha pralinas tamasi mudha-yonisu jayate”

(Bhagwat Gita: Chapter Fourteen verse 15)

“Sri Krishna said:  O Arjuna, When one dies in the mode of passion, he takes birth among those engaged in fruit producing activities (i.e. as a man or woman on earth); and when one dies in the mode of ignorance, he takes birth in the bird & animal kingdom.”

“If you want to know the answer to ‘Who am I?’, then you will have to go to a Gnani purush [the enlightened one]. The Gnani Purush will give you Knowledge of your real Self [Who Am I] in the presence of the egoism. Thereafter your accounts (karmic) will be settled [& things will start falling in place].If the ‘effect’ is experienced, [karmic] bondage is created. If one experiences the ‘effects’ alone by himself, the [karmic] bondage will not be sticky. If he involves another person in it, the karmic bondage will be sticky.”  

The Relationship Between Runanubandha and Vedic Scriptures in Padma Purana

An explanation taken from the Padma Puran

There is a notion that posits the presence of karmic relationships between persons. This idea is known as runanubandha, which is also known as the cycle of indebtedness. According to this theory, every single human being is linked to other people by means of a complex network of debts and responsibilities that have been accumulated over the course of several incarnations.

The consequences of these relationships may be either favorable or harmful, and they have an impact on the way our lives unfold.

Runanubandha is a notion that is extensively treated in the Padma Purana, which is one of the eighteen Mahapuranas. This ancient literature places a strong emphasis on the significance of comprehending and resolving these karmic debts in order to achieve spiritual emancipation attained.

Vedic scriptures, including the Vedas, Upanishads, and Puranas, serve as a guiding light for individuals seeking spiritual wisdom and enlightenment. These ancient texts contain profound insights into the nature of existence, the purpose of life, and the interconnectedness of all beings.

Within the Vedic scriptures, the concept of Runanubandha is intricately woven into the fabric of karma and rebirth. It is through these texts that we gain a deeper understanding of the intricate workings of the universe and the role of our actions in shaping our destiny.

Quote from Padma Puran : 

“Runanubhanda Rupena Pashu Patni Suta Aalaya Runakshaye Kshyayaanthi Tatra Parivedana.”

Meaning: Every Relations are the result of previous birth bondage. Once the debt is annihilated there is no relationship and hence end of suffering in this Samsara.

The Hypothesis behind Runanubandha

When we are tied by karmic links that have lasted for many years, it is not simple to comprehend what these relationships are or why we continue to adhere to them from the time we were children. We engage, share, love, and react to a large number of individuals in a manner that is unique to each of us. One of the most effective methods for comprehending karmic bonds is to just be quiet, comprehend them, and pose a multitude of inquiries to one’s own soul.

In layman language, a karmic relationship is a deep-rooted karmic action-based romantic bond that is formed with someone with whom you feel connected always and somehow you think you are made for, and most probably it might belong to your soul group categories in order to repent, heal past life lessons, and ease the pain a soul has been going through for many years.

The category of karmic connections is the kind of relationship that seems to be a soulmate-like tie, which is something that no one seeks in a direct manner, but in the end, everyone will obtain it in the karmic cycle of this life. In addition to being difficult to comprehend and emotionally draining, these relationships may sometimes manifest themselves in the form of verbal and physical aggression, and most crucially, they are characterized by a dominating and manipulative nature from the beginning.

There is no way to escape such karmic bindings until and until the soul has been able to acquire a profound understanding of his karmic teachings. In the meanwhile, they continue to go through a cosmic cycle for years in order to comprehend one another.

Those are awaiting them from this birth system. The only way to mend and comprehend a karmic connection is for one or both of the parties involved to make an effort to comprehend the spiritual foundations of the relationship and to make the choice to break free from the karmic cycle and develop their spirituality. In order to put a stop to a karmic connection, one must improve their strength and broaden their perspective, as well as develop their spirituality and think more deeply about life. When any of the individuals involved in the karmic relationship make the decision to entirely disengage from the connection, whether it be physically or spiritually, the relationship will come to an end.

In order to get a complete understanding of a karmic connection and to cure it, you need to devote a significant amount of time to self-realization or evaluation. Before you decide to go on to the next relationship, you need first look inside yourself to completely grasp the process of the whole connection, which includes the lessons that the relationship has taught you that you need to learn.

The deeper meaning of “Runanubandha” ?

We take birth in a family, we meet friends, we meet parents, we meet many partners, we indulge with them, we create further karmas, and finally, after doing many sins and karmic actions, we fall in a good relationship, or either we feel like marriage is a burden to us, we feel that parents are not listening to us, and we leave our parents and close friends circle and live in isolation to repent those sufferings; the question is, why is it so??. We carry certain karmas and exhaust some of them, and those that we left behind we brought away with us for the next incarnation. This is a concept that is quite plain to understand. What are your thoughts on the fact that this karmic cycle contains a profound mystery?

According to Sri Sri Ravishanakr ji’s explanation of the law of Rnanubandhan, we shall encounter a variety of people during our life. These individuals may take the shape of a mother, a father, siblings, sisters, a spouse, children, and so on. Only because of the unpaid obligations from previous lifetimes that we carry with us, we are able to give birth to a family. According to the mathematical explanation, at the same time that we are establishing accounts, we are also debiting and crediting all of those karmas with those accounts. Because of our indulgence in them, we have accumulated a large number of karmic debts with all of the people with whom we contact. Each and every one of our karmic obligations, also known as Rina, ultimately results in some kind of bondage or attachment, also known as bandhan, with the others with whom we engage in interactions. What it says about karmas, according to the principles of the Bhagavad Geeta, is that all of these karmic attachments will attempt to drag us into the wheel of life, or you might say the karmic or cosmic cycle, again and again, until and until we exhaust them. This is what it says about karmas if we examine thoroughly.
