The Cool Pearl

June 29th 2009 21:48
Pearl or Moti is a Gem of cosmic Mother in planetary kingdom the Moon. The Moon rules the emotion and mind in human body and with water it nurtures and encourages growth in all living creatures. Pearl symbolizes purity and emotional clarity. It strengthens the memory, cures insomnia, eye infections, anxiety, fear of intimacy, depression, constipation, weak lungs and kidneys and in women it cures infertility and menstrual difficulties.
Astrological Significance of Gemstone - Pearl

In Vastu, Pearl is used to receive the benevolent energies of universal support and helpful people. Whenever you need guidance for your projects, or for expansion and growth as well as to enhance peace and harmony you can look up to Pearl to help you.
Gem is also used to control temperament as is a cold gem. Due to Pearl’s soft nature, it is a mis-belief that everyone can wear it.

In this post I am suggesting its positive and negative effects according to Moon sign.

Aries

Moon and Mars, the governing planet of Aries sign are friends. You can wear Pearl. It will bestow you with good education, concentration, memory, happiness through mother, property and vehicle. You may get fame and benefit by joining hands with institutes that work for the benefits of others.

Taurus

In Taurus, Moon has the lordship of one of the malefic house, so you should never wear the

Pearl.

Gemini

For Gemini, Moon has the lordship of wealth house but it also becomes the markesh (planet which gives negative effects) so you should wear Pearl only after analyzing the birth chart through a Vedic Astrologer.

Cancer

Moon is the lord of Cancer sign, You may wear Pearl throughout the life. It will encourage good health, relationship, charisma in personality and longevity.

Leo

Sun the ruling planet of Leo and Moon are friends but Moon is not a favorable planet for Leos. It increases mental stress and expenses so you should avoid wearing it.

Virgo

Pearl increases your bank balance and profits, income through investments and encourages your social networking. You can wear Pearl in the major period of Moon.

Libra

For Librans, Moon is the lord of a benefic house, so you can wear Pearl. It will give you support from government, seniors, timely promotions and success in your work.

Scorpio

Moon is the lord of your luck and fortune house. You may wear Pearl. Higher aspirations, religious inclinations, luck, honor, recognition and unexpected gains can be achieved.

Sagittarius

Pearl can give you stress and negative results, you should avoid wearing Pearl.

Capricorn

Saturn the governing planet of Capricorn sign and Moon are enemy planets. Wearing Pearl can disturb your relationship, you should not wear Pearl.

Aquarius

Pearl can increase your loan, enemies, disputes and diseases. You must avoid wearing Pearl.

Pisces

Pearl is a benevolent Gem for you. It will enrich you with education luck, creativity, progeny, love life, fortune and grace from higher energies. It will help you whenever you are in need. You must wear it for life long.

The great mantra dedicated to Shiva as Mrityunjaya is found in the Rig Veda. It is called the Maha Mrityunjaya mantra, the Great Death-Conquering mantra. It is a mantra that has many names and forms. The Maha Mrityunjay is a mantra that is said to rejuvenate, bestow health, wealth, a long life, peace, propsperity and contentment. By chanting this Mantra, Divine vibrations are generated which ward off all the negative and evil forces and create a powerful protective shield which wards one from all negative energies which cause difficulties and hardships in life and is said to protect the one who chants against accidents and misfortunes of every kind.
Lord Shiva


Story behind the mantra

There was a sage called Mrikandu. He and his wife propitiated Lord Shiva through severe penance. Lord Shiva was pleased with them and blessed them with a boon, saying, "Either you shall have a divine son who will live only for sixteen years or a bad son who will live for one hundred years. Choose what you want."

Sage Mrikandu and his wife chose a good son, even though short lived. Shiva blessed them with a good son whom they named Markandeya. When Markandeya was eight years of age, he knew all the holy scriptures, and all that is to be known for self realization by the direct instruction of his sagely father. His parents never revealed to him that his life was going to come to an end at the age of sixteen, but they asked him to do the worship of Lord Shiva
Lord Shiva
regularly.

On the last day of the sixteenth year Yama, the God of death, appeared to him and threw his noose to the nose of Markandeya, while he was sitting for the worship of Lord Shiva. His breath was disturbed as Yama began pulling his soul out of his body. With great devotion, Markandeya embraced the holy Shivalinga (a divine and potent form of Lord Shiva) and burst into a great Mantra known as the Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra.

When Markandeya uttered the Mrityunjaya Mantra, Lord Shiva appeared through the Shivalinga and drove away Yama, the God of death and blessed Markandeya to become the ever living master of the Himalayas.

Meaning of Mahamrutyunjaya Mantra

We worship Shiva - The Three-Eyed (tryambakam) Lord (yajamahe);
Who is fragrant (sugandhim) and nourishes (pushti) and grows (vardhanam) all beings.
As the ripened cucumber (urvarukamiva) is liberated (bandhanaan) (by the intervention of the "farmer") from its bondage to the creeper when it fully ripens;
May He liberate us (mokshiya) from death (mrityor), for the sake of immortality (maamritaat).

In simple terms it means

“We pray to Lord Shiva whose eyes are the Sun, Moon and Fire
May He protect us from all disease, poverty and fear
And bless us with prosperity, longevity and good health.”

The mantra should ideally be repeated 108 times, twice daily, at dawn and at dusk. It is particularly useful for meditation and yoga practice. In vedic astrology it is recommended to chant this mantra to ward off the malefic effects of Planet Saturn. As per Hindu scriptures, Shiva is said to be the guru of Planet Saturn worshipping Lord Shiva pleases Saturn and saves the worshipper from his anger.

In the accompanying video below you can hear the mantra and I have recited each word of the mantra thrice to enable my readers to familiarize with the pronunciation of the mantra. The audio quality is not great as there was background noise not in my control when I was recording. Still I am sure the video will serve its purpose.

God Bless!!

Saturn :The Lord of Karma

May 11th 2009 21:07
Saturn commonly known as Shani in Vedic Astrology, is considered to be the “JUDGE” in the planetary kingdom who gives the result of karmas to every creature. In Vastu, Saturn is the Lord of West direction. Saturn is also the Lord of all machinery and gains utmost significance in modern world where machines perform most of the work.
Vedic Astrology Significance of Saturn

As per Vedic Astrology, the legs (from hip to toe) represent planet Saturn. So it can be said the one cannot stand properly without the grace of Saturn

I got a frantic call from one of my old clients. One with whom I had lost touch as she had re-located to another town. As per her, ever since she has moved to a new apartment she has been having almost daily fights with her husband. When his husband is on tour they fight over the call. First she thought it is a passing phase, maybe the husband is in stress due to his work which has made him so short-tempered but when this continued for more than three months she wanted me to visit her new house and do a Feng Shui check.

A cordial relationship between partners includes a lot more than just compatibility. Stressful lifestyles, lack of proper sleep, sexual incompetence and fertility issues also sometimes take a marriage to a dead end

Vastu for Love

February 9th 2009 21:34
Anita and John form an ideal couple – all their friends quote them as role models when it comes to married life. However, both Anita and John know deep down that something has changed. Right from their compatibility quotient to a rocking sex life, what was once like a fairy tale has changed after they moved their residence to their own apartment – the once enviable chemistry between the two was just not there. Soon, Lina - one of Anita’s closest friends, realized this and recommended them to visit me. On paying a visit to their new apartment, I realized that it needs several corrections from a Vastu and Feng Shui point of

view.


Enjoying a great relationship –mentally and sexually, involves more than understanding and sexual compatibility between partners. External factors like the location of the bedroom, location of the bed, color of the walls and bed sheets and décor of the bedroom have its important role to play. This is where Vastu – the magical science of interiors, comes to rescue

Yes Head towards South or East.

Ideally the storage should not be there. If no options possible remove all junk things, leather, utensils, old medicine bottles, etc from the storage.

Books (specially text books and religious books should not be a problem

Dear Mukul

Sorry for the late reply as I somehow missed the comment in April.

The value of any gemstone depends on the quality. If you wear one in the range of 1500 - 2000 Indian Rupees per carat, it should be ok. Just ensure that you buy it from a reliable jeweller who is known to give you a geniune gemstone.

Dear Gauthem

Gemstone Recommendations are based on individual birth charts and recommendations based on Moon Sign or Sun Sign may not necessarily work for you. If you have consulted a good astrologer there is no reason to distrust him.

Do not be confused and have faith in your astrologer.
