When we are talking about solutions I would like
to first elucidate a little on this. Among the scholarly astrologers
who suggest solutions based on astrology, there is a view that there
are four ways of assigning solutions.
| 1 |
The Japa(chanting of the mantra)
of that planet for a fixed number of times. |
| 2 |
The Dana(solution of the disturbed planet by
charity) of the articles ruled by it. |
| 3 |
Wearing that particular gem for that planet
for the purpose of solution. |
| 4 |
Using that relevant medicine or aushadh for
that planet for solution. |
Out of these methods the fourth one is in the hands of doctors these
days. No astrologer is observed prescribing the wearing of the relevant
medicine or aushadh, whereas the principle for the same is still
preserved in our ancient scriptures. The reason behind this trend
seems to be that most of the astrologers today are either temple
priests or at least not engaged in any kind of research work, the
little percentage of scholarly people today who enter this profession
are outcaste by these unknowledgeable astrologers collectively and
as they are practically unlimited in number as a result they overpower
these scholars. consequently, even these scholars are afraid of
experimentation the result of which is that astrology is narrowed
down like the water in a closed drain. as i believe in experimentation
sometimes even so- called great astrologers start opposing me and
start announcing the same kind of research work themselves.
As for instance, when I wrote "JYOTISH KA ADHAR SAMBHOG"
on the matching of the charts of the prospective bride and groom
it gained much attention among astrologers and general populace
and on the base of this book one institution which also undertakes
astrological examinations awarded me with highest degree of "JYOTISH
BHASKAR" but when a publisher expressed his opinion to the
Head of the Department in the "Lal Bahadur Shastri Sanskrit
Vidyapeeth" that," Alas, i wish some book like "Jyotish
Ka Adhar Sambhog" would have been written", then this
Head of the Department himself told me that I read your book at
the reference of the publisher and then I copied the same. he only
mentioned my name in the introduction that he has sought my advice
and suggestions while writing this book which is not true. He had
never discussed with me about the book.
In the Japa( chanting of mantras) and Dana( charity of articles)
no difference of opinion has been observed so far. Yes, there is
a great deal of difference in opinion about wearing the gem stone.
One school of thought subscribes to the concept that gem stone increase
the power of the planets and the other school of thought is of the
opinion that gems take upon themselves the results of planets and
as a result the influence of the planet after wearing of the stone
is reduced and hence the evil effect is destroyed. On 17th august
2001 there was an article published in the newspaper Punjab Kesari
which was titled " The Influence Of Diamond As Per The Zodiac
Sign." From the article, it seems that he endorses the first
view that "stones increase the power of the planet".
In fact, stones are blind, they do not have the power of vision.
Hence, they do not know whom to favour and whom not to. They neither
increase the influence of a planet nor reduce them. there fore,
the concept of reducing or increasing the power of a planet is mere
imagination. the first and foremost question that arises is that
1. why should we wear stones at all? the second question is, 2.
what is the benefit? and if there is benefit or loss, how is it?
For this first of all we must pay attention to the structure and
functioning of our body. we are sitting at ease and suddenly we
feel an ant moving somewhere on our body. the skin of the place
where ant is moving sends an alerting message to the network of
our brain that something is wrong there and mind in its turn sends
an alerting message to the hand that see what is wrong and then
the hand automatically reaches that place and detects the problem
and removes it and then the system gains back the status quo.
This makes it clear that brain is the master of the body and it
commands the hand to balance the system and hand immediately gets
to work.
Rishis fixed the place of the planets in our fingers. Like the thumb
and the mount beneath it is assigend to Venus and the adjoining
finger to thumb or index finger and the mount beneath it is assigned
to the Jupiter, the long adjoining finger or middle finger and the
mount beneath it is assigned to the Saturn and the adjoining finger
or the ring finger and the mount beneath it is assigned to the Sun
and the adjoining finger or the little finger is assigned to the
Mercury. Now only Moon and Mars are left. The place assigned to
the Moon is parallel to the monut of Venus on the opposite side
of the palm and Mars has been assigned two places on the palm, one
in between the mounts of Moon and Mercury and the other is area
between thumb and index finger or between the mount of Jupiter and
the mount of Venus. Now, the planet which is negativly placed in
the horoscope, the gem stone of related planet worn in the finger
of that planet. The gems of Moon and Mars are worn in the fingers
of friendly planets.
We have already told that gems are blind, they neither increase
nor decrease the power of a planet. They can do only one thing that
when they are worn in the finger of that planet it starts absorbing
the infulences of the rays of that particular planet which are proceeding
from the brain to that finger. Consequently, the beneficial influence
will decrease and if a malefic influence is proceeding then it will
start absorbing these rays. As a result, the stone will take the
influences on itself and shields the person from the negative influences.
It is clear that on wearing the stones of benefic planets they absorb
it and hence do damage to the person and by wearing the stones of
malefic planets they absorb it and hence benefit the person. That
is why stones of only malefic planets should be worn and not of
the benefic planets.
