Moon Sign Capricorn at 11:39:27(Degree:Minutes:Seconds ); Birth Nakshtra ( Star ) Shravana 1st PhaseYours Sincerely, G.C.Editor: The book Vedic Remedies in Astrology was written many years backwhen SJVC was in existence. However2 Jyotish Digest Oct-Dec 2007JD0704.indd 2in its new avatar SJC(Sri Jagannath Center),the Chairman is SriP.V.R.Narasimha Raoand you can get in touchwith him regardinglearning jyotish from ajyotish guru. Lessons arenow available at http://sohamsa.com/dbc/which is the DevaguruBrihaspati Center. MP3of previous conferences are available athttp://srijagannath.org/subscribe/.Wealready have anumberof students and cannotdo justice to more. Theteaching at SoHamsa(www.sohamsa.com/dbc/) is structured andgood for beginners andmiddle level alike. Youcan consider joining it ifyou wish to learn fromthis program under me.2. Your Ista devata is indicated by the planet Sunwhich can show LordShiva in all signs. In particular, the Nataraja formof Lord Shiva is veryauspicious for you. YourKula devata is indicatedby a very fierce form of Durga which canbe either Chamunda or Mariamma. Theroot cause of your suffering is due to forgetting your dharma towards your Kuladevi which has resulted in personal suffering in your life, especially with respectto wealth and family sustenance. Sincedebilitated Saturn is in badhaka sthana,there will also be the *evil eye* sufferingand if you disclose your plans they willfail. The 10th lord joining the badhakasthana shows that the career will sufferon account of these dark forces. You areadvised to resume the forgotten worshipof Durga Devi (Chamunda) in order toovercome the badhaka and have successin career. For this pur pose the navarnamantra is most beneficial as this is occuring in the 9th house. the mantra has to berecited 5 X 108 times every evening whilesimultaneously ensuring that one is verynice towards all the ladies of the family,especially female relatives like aunts,cousins and daughters.Navarna Mantra: aim hrim klim chamundayai vichchai3. Worship of the Ista devata is most beneficial for your life and soul. The ten syllable Baudaya Rudra Mantra is advised.Rudra mantra: om namo bhagavaterudraayaHowever there is a curse from past incarnation indicated by Venus in badhakahouse conjoined debilitated Saturn andaspected by Rahu. You will have to getthe initiation of the Kamalatmika Mahavidya and do the sadhana for one yearto get over this once and for all.The down side of Yogakaraka SaturnDear Honourable Guru,“charan sparsh”!Kindly give yourvaluable guidance in this case of misguidance. In one of the books writtenby “bhojraj devadi” called “TULA LAGNA” he wrote that : “If 5th lord sat-17-12-2012 10:58:10
urn placed in 12th house for tula lagnaaspected or conjucted by benefics thatperson will face his son’s death when hisson become young.” I have Tula lagnasaturn placed in 12th house with Jupitar and Moon. If you would like to seemy kundli details are 10 Jun 1981 placeMeerut (u.p) 4:30pm. I am quiet afraidafter reading this and I am also learningjyotish from your own Mp3 recordingsand notes available. but couldnt find anything related to the above issue i am facing. Please it is heartly request to solvemy problem give me the answer whetherthis author “Bhojraj Dewedi” is right. Ifyou wish I can send you the money aswell kindly send me the charges and process to send the money as I am in foriegn,married with a kid and studying.Kind regards! Please reply/Arjun BhardwajEditor: Unfortunately Bhojraj Dewedi hasquoted a well known dictum that whenSaturn is yogakaraka and is placed in12th house, it will suo moto give Rajyogabut if it conjoined a benefic planet thenthe native will face the death of such relations that are indicated by the benefic. Inanother chart with Taurus Lagna (Saturnis yogakaraka as it owns the 9th and 10thhouses), Saturn was placed in the 12thhouse with Jupiter and as expected thenative lost his only son due to a drowning accident. In your chart however, Saturn in the 12th house is conjoined bothMoon (mother) and Jupiter (son) andcan show loss of mother instead of son.However my advise will be to performthe Rudrabhishek (of Lord Shiva) everyyear on the birthday of the son till he is28 years old.A more detailed analysis would require astudy of the saptamsa chart, the santanatithi, navamsa and other aspects of vedicastrology dealing with progeny. Teachyour son to recite the Mrityunjaya Mantra as given below om namah shivaaya tryambakkaayahaum jum sahCursed Karaka and troubled house and lordRespected Sanjay ji,I worked as Group VP HR with one leading textile company in Bangalore, I havetried a lot to find some good astrologerbut I am unfortunate I found only cheaters, some one told me about you, I readyour home page, now I feel you are theJD0704.indd 3right person whocan help me.

My data isgiven below: date of birth : 11 may 1966;Place of birth: SAMBHAL (U.P) India;Time of birth : 13:15 to 13:45 pm. Mainevents of my life: (1) Father expired : 8july 1999 (2) First daughter born : 06 nov.1991 (3) son born :16 oct 1999Kind regards/ Deepak SharmaEditor: A detailed chart rectification using life events will require more time.The tenth house of the rasi chart is Taurus which is afflicted by Rahu bringingtrouble from office politics that causesjob loss. The 10th lord Venus is ill placedin the 8th house showing that your hardwork shall not be of benefit to you and itsaffliction by Saturn shows that you neverreap the benefits of the work. The exaltation of 10th lord shows that you workvery hard and the quality of the work isvery good but that is not sufficient to succeed in a very competitive work environ-newsment.In the navamsa, Venus is again the 10thlord and is severely afflicted by Mars inan insect sign. The exalted Moon in the10th house also carries the blesmish ofbeing the 12th lord.Mercury the Karaka for the 10th houseis placed in badhaka sthana showinggreater success in a foreign country butis conjoined natural malefic planets Sunand badhakesha yogakaraka Mars. In addition it is subject to a papakartari yogabetween Rahu and Saturn being in adjoining signs in the 2nd and 12th housesfrom it. This constitutes a curse leadingto terrible instability in career.Remedial Measures: (1) To overcome thecurse of Mercury and the machinationsof colleagues, you need to propitiate SriVishnu (either Rama or Narasimha avatar bija as Mars and Sun conjoin). Recitethe following mantra 1008 times everymorning at 6am and you should comeout of the curse completely in 1-5 yearstime.omkshraumnarasimhaayanamobhagavate(2) Keep complete fast on every dvadasitithi (every month) and make donationsto a Vishnu temple(3) Recite the mantra: om shrim namobhagavatyai annapoorne svaahaa (1008times every friday and monday evening)Jyotish Digest Oct-Dec 2007 317-12-2012 10:58:11
letters The Jyotish NewsDIAMONDS ARE NOTFOREVERBoston, MA: Bryant Lineare can replicatein two weeks the 100 million years thatnature needs to make diamonds fromcoal, and his success may soon cost theworld’s mining companies 2.5 billionannually. Sales of laboratory-producedgems will rise 10-fold to 1 million caratsat 2,500 each within three years, compared with 8,000 for a mined diamond,says David Hargreaves, a Cobham, U.K.based analyst who has followed the industry for 25 years. The stones, created byLinares’s Apollo Diamond Inc. of Bostonand Gemesis Corp. of Sarasota, Florida,are so fine that De Beers says it has spent 17 million, or about two weeks of profit,to build machines needed to spot them.“We’d all be foolish if we didn’t admit wewere a little nervous,” says Keith Johnson, chief executive officer for diamondsat London-based Rio Tinto, which controls the world’s largest diamond mine,called Argyle in Australia.The man-made gems may hurt profitsand margins at companies that dig upthe stones, said Andrew Ferguson, whohas about 5 percent of his holdings in diamond miners at New City Investment inLondon, which oversees about 637 million of natural-resource stocks.Most to LoseLondon-based Anglo American, theowner of 45 percent of De Beers, has themost to lose. Anglo says De Beers accounted for 463 million, or 5 percent, ofoperating profit last year. For Rio, alsobased in London, diamonds contributed 205 million, or 2.8 percent, of earningsin 2006. Jersey, U.K.-based Petra Diamonds, which mines in South Africa andis exploring in Angola, and FirestoneDiamonds are betting their entire futureon the gems.Man-made diamonds are molecularlythe same as those panned from Angolanrivers and mined in the Canadian Arctic.Output is set to increase from the current 100,000 carats a year, says Gemesis,which started production in 2002.That compares with annual production ofrough, mined diamonds totaling 155 million carats, three-quarters of which are4 Jyotish Digest Oct-Dec 2007JD0704.indd 4cut into stones smaller than a half-carat,said Hargreaves, a former head of miningresearch at London-based James Capel &Co., a unit of HSBC Holdings Plc. Onecarat equals 200 milligrams; when round,it’s 6.5 millimeters across, or almost thewidth of a pencil-top eraser.The Gemological Institute of America,an independent assessor of diamonds forTiffany & Co. and Cartier that’s based inCarlsbad, California, started grading thesynthetic stones this year to ensure consumers can know the difference.A Yellow StoneFiona McEwen, an advertising executiveat McEwen Advertising in Johannesburg,knows the difference and doesn’t care.Her natural white diamond was stolenfrom her finger in an armed robbery earlier this month. She wears a man-madeyellow diamond of more than a caratnow.“It’s a beautiful alternative and an affordable alternative,” McEwen said. “I justcouldn’t afford an earth- grown yellowdiamond. It would be completely out ofmy reach.”Synthetic gems can be produced in labsin as little as four days, are on average 40percent less expensive and have the samechemical, physical and optical propertiesas any natural rough stone, according toGemesis and A
