When a person has Grahamalika yoga or Kala Sarpa/Amrita Yoga, they are born with a very strong desire from the past life, which they wish to attain. Its a very extreme desire when we speak of sarpa/amrita yoga, whereas the malika yoga can be a result of a lot of pennance for some desire to be attained.

Under the comments for the retrogression discussion i have given more than a few examples of how to judge the retrogression. Please refer to that. In short, yes that position of Saturn is inauspicious, but depending on its placement from arudha lagna this inauspicious event can turn out to benefit you… Do refer to the retrogression article.

Rakesh
We normally never give Coral to a Taurus lagna as Mars is a dire malefic and maraka for Taurus.
You have not given me the full story of this chart! The problem is not that Jupiter is in third, because whilst Jupiter is in Marana Karaka Sthana in third house, this Jupiter is in Exaltation and normally wouldn’t give such malignant results. Instead you should have also told me that Jupiter is retrograde!!
Now, if i) a benefic; ii) is retrograde; iii) in a dusthana (3*,6,8,12); iv) and exalted. This can be quite bad for health and longevity (Parasara-Balarishta chapter). Here Jupiter is also eighth lord and this enforces the problems.
Ask him to worship the Omkaresha Jyotirlinga with the Mrityunjaya beejas: om namaH shivaaya omkareshvaraaya hauM juuM saH|
This should be begun immediately.
In addition ask him to worship Surya in the form of Vivasvan: om hraM ghrni vivasvate namaH|

Yours sincerely, Visti Larsen.

Why is someone having KSY?

Really, what they have done?

Please can you say when will I get married and how my married life will be?
My lagna is gemini, seventh lord jupiter retrograde in 10th. Mercry retro in 4th. Mars in lagna, sat-moon in second.

time 11.41 pm, 0ct 1, 1975, calicut.

I have seen the Mrtyunjaya take people out of years of chronic fatigue, and scizophrenia. But, for those with vargottama lagna the effects of Mrtyunjaya are quite profound as the native has an intimate relationship with the mantra.
Tantra at its highest, and not at the level that some are practicing, is the process of channeling the deity worshiped in ones own body. Great teachers of our lifetime have used this power to uplift those who approached them and lead them towards a better life. This is the real tantra and a means to attain it is through mantra and dhyana.

Honey
Which place were you born in?

Vaishnavi
a) This is a relative question in any chart. A natural malefic is always a malefic, but may end up benefiting a person due to its lordship and placement from i) lagna and ii) arudha lagna. The latter is more important for a final assesment for material effects in life.
You can surely learn this from the lectures on the site.

b) You have Ketu in the fifth house showing that you lack a clear direction for your future and aspirations. As this is placed in the tenth from Moon it can completely ruin career opportunities.
The remedy is without a doubt the worship of Sri Ganesha. The Prasiddha mantra: Om Ganeshaya namah is excellent for you.
Further, the worship of Prajapati would be extremely beneficial for your spouse. The mantra is: Om Prajapataye Namah.

c) Yellow Sapphire/Topaz would be very useful at present.
d) Kendradhipati dosha isn’t a problem in your horoscope nor anyone else’s.
e) Ahhh… see #b.

AA) If the chart is right it gives very good health and lovely place to stay. It gives a great blessing from the divine mother.
BB) Means you don’t listen to Gurus and are very independent.

Yours sincerely, Visti.

Namaste. In your lectures, you mentioned the relationship of Mantra to Mana, and Tantra to the Tanu. Could you also comment on the physical effects of a Mantra?

In the past few months, there has been an increase in the number of fiery mantras I chant. Coincidentally, I have also started Mangala AD, to wear a ruby, and to practice Dhaarana as per your recommendation. There are definitely mental effects, such as more clarity of understanding, mental peace as well as small improvements in specific affairs which I was trying to remedy with these mantras. What caught me by surprise, though, are the physical effects. For instance, I always had sinus problems, which got a lot worse during Chandra AD, but practically disappeared now. My appetite and energy level have both increased with the increase of the Jatharaagni. (As an aside, worship of the Guru also seems to have something to do with appetite, since I am now drawn to desserts that I never cared for before.) Would you think these physical changes are related to the AD itself (I think not, based on your lectures), gemstones, dhaarana, or the mantras themselves?

Another mantra that always has physical effects on me is the Mrutyunjaya, which always provides relief from pain or illness. It’s rather interesting how that works, actually - I might suffer for hours or days with a particular ailment, before I remember to chant the mantra, and then when I do, the ailment disappears. I figure making me forget until the right time is one way to ensure my karmic debts are paid. I am curious to know if the Mrutyunjaya works like this for everyone, or if my vargottama lagna makes this mantra particularly beneficial for me. What has been your experience?

Thank you,
Lata

Yours, Visti

Pranam and my heartfelt thanks for your kind guidance.

Also kindly instruct which mantra of LAKSHMI should I recite.
Will OM LAKSHMIYE NAMAH be right?

A Million thanks, God Bless you.

1. Planets in kendra to Moon or Lagna deny Kemadruma yoga… If not then check the kendras to lagna in the Bhava-Chalit Chakra. Make sure you strengthen that planet which is in kendra.

2. These are the Nava-suryas. My students have been taught this several times. I am repeating them here:
Graha - Surya
Sun - sUrya
Moon - mitra
Mars - vivasvan
Mercury - Aditya
Jupiter - viSNu
Venus - ravi
Saturn - varuNa
Rahu - bhaga
Ketu - bhaskara

Yes you can do this on 20 days, but we advise the 40 days to ensure the transformation occurs more thoroughly.

Mohit
You have Kala Sarpa Yoga. The remedy to break it is through Tara Mahavidya, and do recite the Shakti-Vinayaka mantra as well to start the process. The mantra is from Surya Aruna Karma Vipaka:
ॐ ह्रीं गं ह्रीं महागणपतये नमः स्वाहा।
om hrīṁ gaṁ hrīṁ mahāgaṇapataye namaḥ svāhā|

Amit
Kali is one among the ten Mahavidya, whilst Durga is the mother of all. Planets in nakshatras won’t help you determine the mahavidyas.

Saturn in the fifth house can be remedied through Narayana worship also. Have you tried this?

Det var saa lidt.

Surya
I’m sorry for your problematic situation.
Without remedies it will require 16 years of legal-marriage before that happens, yet with long term separation.

Rijula
Worship of Lakshmi will definitely grant you all this. Venus antaradasa from Nov 2007 - July 2009 is very strong to give you a good and healthy child.

Venkatesh
You would have to ask Sanjayji for this.

Yours sincerely, Visti

Would appreciate if you can help me how to work out the remedy for my chart, What i would want to know is how should i handle the MKS of Guru (3rd) & Rahu (9th). I have aquarius lagna and my mars is also in debilition.Should i take that Jupiter will destroy the 2nd and 11th house signification and Rahu will destroy the lagna signification. Will the night birth take Rahu out of MKS. Also the venus the badhaka is with Guru.So will this venus affect the significations of Guru or will Rahu sitting in afflict the 9th house and take the role of badhaka.

Birth details are
Date: 17-May-1976
Time: 01:00 am
TZ:+5:30 East of GMT
Lon: 76E13
Lat: 10N31

Thanks

Dear Visti,

If the Mars is in 7th house,the remady is based on Vayu tatva,so Hanuman is the best option like in the Lord Rama cahrt.
If other grahas are there then what are the best deities to worship.

Can you please give the forms of Vayu tava for other planets also.

Thanks,
S.Venkatesh

My heart felt gratitude for your advice. I have been doing the mantra as instructed by you everyday except during my menstrual periods.
Iam taking lots of relief from the fact that iam moving in the right direction thru ur advice.

1)However, Sir, May I request you to just look at my chart and tell me when i will get a good child, ie, likely period when all these efforts shall fructify.

2)Also iam a software engineer, and kindly tell me, do u see any chance for me to get employed, at present iam abroad with my husband, and unemployed, since this country (africa) is not all that suitable for expat females to work.

Lots of Pranams and compliments for the great job u r doing thru your website, lots of souls are taking solace from your efforts and knowledge.

May God Bless You,

Dear Vistiji,Namaste

I am little bit confused about Devi worship.
As I have saurn in fifth house in rasi and with moon in second house in navamsha which form should I worship Durga or Kali and how? Can you please guide me on this. Also most of my planets are in Rahu’s and mercury’s nakshatras which itself is in Rahu nakshatra.

Waiting for your advice

Takk!!

I have one small query about my birth chart. Some Pundit told me i have KS Yoga in my chart. He told me your Rashi Chart is correct but other divisional charts are not. Before he could rectify it he died. I am still unmarried. What should i do? My Birth details are: DOB: 16 Sep 1976; TOB: 02 pm (approximate); Place of Birth is Gurgaon (Haryana), India.

Please suggest some suitable remedy to me for marriage etc. and if you require any other information please let me know.

Thanks in advance.
Mohit

…My question is concerning that is there possibility to
chant them through like “20 malas for twenty days”?

“How about Bhuvanesvari? Moon is breaking your Kala Sarpa Yoga, which is the most important yoga in your chart. Surely this is the best solution… though you will definitely like Kali very much. Other option is Kamalatmika… one of the Gurus can break.”

Tried with Dhyana which Sanjay Rath gives in his book
“Vedic Remedies in Astrology”
It has really helped to sort out the thoughts that are
floating to my mind.
LoL, i didnt notice trees from the forest.

What about pilgrimages?

Lets take example of person who has debilated Saturn in
tenth.
Is it advisable for him to venture on Jyotirlinga of Mahakala
when Saturn is making exalted transit
or is it more wiser to go then when Sun is in Vaisakha?

Last would seem to be possible because Hum Vishnavee Namah
is used to MKS of Saturn.

I have a couple of queries:
(1) how does one remedy the Kemadruma Yoga [(so I guess I have three queries then -) is the absence of planets in 2nd and 12th H from Moon a sufficient condition of this yoga?]
(2) you suggest that for the MKS the aditya of the karaka wherein the MKS occurs should be worshipped - could you illuminate on the various karaka adityas?

Thanks and regards as always.

There is a different yoga in the given chart, namely that of a Vasuki Yoga (Sun-Rahu) and the blessing (or curse) of the divine serpents has come. The blessing can come if Guru is strong, and here its involved in the same conjunction and thus forms a curse. A bit of a predicament. So the curse needs to be solved first. Always solve the MAIN problem first and these main problems are in their order: KSY/KAY, GMY, curses, Badhaka. Make these priorities in your mind so that you won’t get carried away with all sorts of other yogas and remedies which eventually may only give a temporary relief but not solve the main problem.
I hope this clarifies things.
Yours, Visti
