Namaste. Just two days ago, I received this Asia Excellence Award from the hands of Bollywood actress and Member of Parliament Jaya Pradhaji. And this award is not just mine, but also yours. Because for many days, months and years, I have been sharing on this platform and you all have been resonating, responding with your beautiful comments, your love. I am very thankful to each one of you. In our journey, we all come across all kind of challenges. There are many times people, negative people who try to hurt us. I am also not an exception to this. This entire journey, as I was going through, many negative, offensive people also came, but I never reacted to them. I simply blocked them and deleted them. Shift, delete and block. That’s all. Never react. Because when you react, you are trapped in that vicious cycle of karma. And as you all know, my journey began from the streets of Pune at the age of 14. And I had no mother and no father, and I was a homeless person from that point till today. You can see that I’m still alive. And this is an inspiration for you also that no matter how much difficult life is, if you stay faithful, if you stay positive, then you will definitely succeed.
Lunar eclipse is happening on Sunday. That is on the 7th of September. I have shared specific mantra, remedy, diet plan, as well as donations that you should do so as to bring down the intensity of the negative effects of this lunar eclipse. Always remember, everything is possible. However, you have to be consistent in whatever you are doing along with this revelations for all the 12 zodiac signs. When I say zodiac, I mean the moon sign. Because Vedic astrology is rooted in the moon sign. Everything comes down to this mind. People think that if money comes, then happiness comes, but that is not true. Otherwise every rich man and woman would have been happy forever. But that is not the case. In fact, it is the other way around. The more money comes, the more complications. So along with these revelations about diet plan, mantra remedy and donations, there is also very, very important message, especially for all my close followers, that if you truly want to evolve, then you should listen to this message. Always remember, narrow mind or narrowness can lead you to nowhere. And once again, I want to thank each one of you. I remember few of you, but if I take your names, then maybe there are others who are following me regularly. But I want to again thank each one of you for this award, which I received on Saturday 30 August, the Asia Excellence Award. This would have not been possible without your love and support.
The lunar eclipse. Chandra Grahan will grace the skies on the 7th of September exactly the day after the 10 day Ganesh festival concludes on the 6th. It feels symbolic, as if after bidding farewell to Lord Ganesha, remover of obstacles, the very next day the moon itself is veiled by shadow. A cosmic reminder that every ending births a new transition. A lunar eclipse occurs when the moon journeys over Rahu or Ketu. This year Rahu is transiting through Aquarius. And so the eclipse too falls in this sign of the water bearer. And let me tell you, Aquarius is already bearing a heavy load. Alongside Rahu’s transit, Aquarius is also enduring the last phase of Sade Sati, Saturn’s testing passage. If your moon sign is Aquarius, my heart reaches out to you, my fellows. I know the storms you may be facing, especially if your planetary period Mahadasha is Rahu, Ketu, or any other challenging configuration. It feels as if lifetimes of karmic debts have gathered at your doorstep demanding repayment all at once. That is why I always insist my fellows do not post negative comments, do not hurt others and do not discriminate based on caste or religion. Never sow new seeds of negativity when old karmas are already weighing heavy upon you. To look down upon others based on caste, religion or community is not only ignorance, it is a sure path to downfall. Remember, to be born a Brahmin or Kshatriya or Rajput in this life is no guarantee of the next. Karma decides everything, my fellows. Karma decides everything. A proud Brahmin today may be born in a dog’s family tomorrow. An arrogant priest today may return in the next birth carrying incurable diseases. Hundreds of such examples exist. For the law of Karma spares no one. The new age is sending us a message loud and clear. Embrace universality. There are millions of people across this planet speaking countless languages, living through infinite shades of life. What binds us together is not caste, not religion, not language, but our shared humanity. Aquarius, by its very nature, fights for equality, for human rights, for breaking rigid walls that divide people. The ruling planet of Aquarius is Uranus. Herschel. Uranus is the revolutionary force that disrupts old dogmas and births new consciousness. And that is why our times are called the Aquarian Age. Barriers are breaking, hearts are awakening. Humanity is rising. I have always said, if ever I am to teach someone astrology. That student must not be narrow minded, tied to one religion or bound by caste. He or she must be open to all faiths, all traditions, all languages, seeing beyond boundaries, respecting humanity above everything. A true seeker is one who uses his intelligence, not one who simply parrots scriptures without reflection. So as this lunar eclipse in Aquarius approaches, see it as a cosmic announcement. A tide of change is flowing. Over the coming 12 years, society will open further, embracing diversity, transcending rigid dogmas and uplifting the definition of modern life to an even higher plane. Remember, a lunar eclipse in any sign repeats only after 18 years. For Rahu and Ketu takes 18 years to complete one revolution through all 12 signs. This moment is significant and its ripple will be felt deeply.
I had already alerted you all about the twin eclipses of September, lunar and solar. Now let us begin to understand the impact of this 7 September lunar eclipse in the sign of Aquarius and how it will impact each of the 12 moon signs. Remember, the root of Vedic astrology is in the moon sign, the moon chart. And so these predictions are also based on moon signs.
Aries: For Aries, the Eclipse activates the 11th House of Gains from friends and social circles. You may find that people you trusted show their true colors. Now promises may not be fulfilled and expectations from friends or elder siblings could bring disappointment. This is a time when Rahu’s shadow tests your ability to detach from shallow connections and seek depth in relationships spiritually. This is a call to purify your circle. Do not chase every opportunity or cling to every relationship. Ask yourself who truly stands by you when storms arrive. Remember, quantity of friends means little, quality of connections is everything. Now I will reveal the mantra remedy, diet plan and donation that you should observe or do during this period. The mantra remedy is chant Om Hanumate Namah 108 times daily. Hanuman Ji removes Rahu’s illusions and grants courage. The meaning of the mantra is I bow to Hanuman who gives strength and protects against evil influences. The diet plan for Aries is keep meals light and energizing Moong Dal Khichdi with ghee, fresh fruits and coconut water will balance fiery Mars energy. Avoid alcohol, fried food and anger inducing spicy meals. Remember, whenever you eat spicy meals, you are more prone to becoming angry now and then. So avoid spicy meals during the lunar eclipse period. And regarding donation, you should donate jaggery, black sesame seeds or support the education of underprivileged children. Sharing knowledge clears Rahu’s karmic depths. Remember this.
Taurus: The eclipse falls in your 10th House of Karma, profession and public life. Career uncertainties may arise. Delays in promotions, authority figures being harsh, or sudden changes at the workplace. Do not fear these shifts. They are karmic adjustments preparing you for a new direction. Your dignity is being tested now. How you respond under pressure matters more than what happens externally. Avoid ego clashes with superiors and keep your karma clean. Do not abuse or offend others through your comments or actions. Chant the mantra Om Namah Shivaya. Om Namah Shivaya. Om Namah Shivaya meaning I bow to Lord Shiva, the eternal auspicious one. Lord Shiva calms restlessness, ambition and clears karmic blockages. And your diet plan. Keep sattvic diet of milk, curd fruits and leafy green vegetables. Avoid meat, onion and garlic until the eclipse is over. So two days before the eclipse and two days after the eclipse. For these around four, five days, maintain this satvic diet. And when it comes to donation, donate white rice, curd or milk to the needy. Supporting purity attracts career blessings. Remember this.
Gemini: for Gemini. The eclipse illuminates the 9th House of Dharma, higher wisdom and fatherly figures. You may feel restless about your faith, feelings, philosophies or guidance from elders. Differences with mentors or father could disturb your peace. Long journeys may face sudden delays. Yet this is a divine test to shift your faith from external authority to inner conviction. Real wisdom comes when scriptures become lived experience, not just words. Chant this powerful mantra 108 times. And when it comes to our diet plan, favor satvik meals like curd, rice, soaked almonds and seasonal fruits. Avoid stimulants like excess tea or coffee that disturb mercury’s restless energy. When it comes to donation, donate books, notebooks, pens, or even Bhagavad Gita to students. Sharing wisdom strengthens your dharma.
Cancer: This eclipse strikes the 8th House of Transformation. Longevity on occult and hidden matters. For cancer natives, emotional upheavals may shake you. Sudden expenses, health scares or deep psychological fears may surface now. But do not panic. This is Rahu’s way of forcing transformation. This is a spiritual initiation. The eighth house is the house of death and rebirth. Not necessarily physical death, but the death of illusions, death of false attachments and death of toxic patterns. If you embrace meditation and surrender, this eclipse can awaken hidden spiritual powers within you. Chant this mantra with deep surrender and follow a diet plan wherein you can fast with fruits and water on eclipse day as it will purify your karmas. And post eclipse, have light vegetable soups, satvik, khichdi and avoid tamasic food. And when it comes to donation, donate white clothes, cotton or milk to the needy. These soothe moon’s disturbed energy.
Leo: The eclipse falls in your seventh house of partnerships, marriage and business ties. Tensions in relationships may arise. Misunderstandings with spouse or partner may occur. Business collaborations may face temporary turbulence. So be aware. This is Rahu’s test. Are you seeking control in relationships or true companionship? The eclipse pushes you to shift from dominance to balance, from ego to understanding. Chant the mantra Om Shukraya Namah. It will soothe your strained relationships. And when it comes to diet plan, include sweet fruits, bananas, mangoes, custard, apple and dairy in your meals. Avoid sour food, alcohol and bitter speech. When it comes to donation, donate white sweets such as sugar or rice to young woman or couples in need. It harmonizes Venus energy.
Virgo: the eclipse casts its shadow on your sixth house of health, service, debts and hidden enemies. You may find old health issues resurfacing, particularly digestive or nervous complaints. Worthless conflicts or hidden enemies may try to disturb your peace. Since the eclipse is happening in your sixth house, you may even get more trouble through black magic attacks. So be aware and maintain a low profile. And in such a scenario, it is possible that debts that you have may feel heavy now. Yet remember, the sixth house is also the house of victory over obstacles. This eclipse is showing you where your weakness lie so that you can rise above them. If you discipline your lifestyle, stay humble and chant regularly, you will transform your struggles into stepping stones. Chant the mantra Om Namo Bhagavate Rudraya. And follow a diet plan where you will eat green vegetables, barley, buttermilk and khichdi. Avoid heavy, oily junk food that aggravates mercury’s anxiety. When it comes to donation, offer green vegetables or medicines to the poor or to a cow shelter.
Libra: For Libra. The eclipse illuminates the fifth house of creativity, intelligence, children and romance. If you are a student, studies may feel blocked. If you are in love, your relationship may go through testing times. Parents may face concerns for their children. The fifth house is also the house of Purva Punya, meaning past life, virtuous deeds. This eclipse may reveal karmic debts from previous lives through your children or through students or romantic connections. Embrace this as an opportunity to grow. Chant the mantra Om Klim Krishnaya Namah. And when it comes to our diet plan, eat sweet fruits, honey, warm milk and nuts. Avoid stale food and excess fast food. When it comes to donation, donate toys, notebooks or food to children in orphanages or underprivileged schools.
Scorpio: This eclipse falls in your fourth house of home, mother, property and emotional peace. Domestic matters may feel disturbed. Conflicts at home, issues with property or emotional heaviness may surface. Relationship with mother may require more compassion and patience. The lesson here is emotional detachment. Scorpio Energy often clings too deeply. And Rahu in your fourth house reminds you home is not just a physical place, it is the peace within your heart. Chant the mantra Om Durgaye Namah. And drink coconut water, fresh milk and eat rice based meals. Avoid tamasic food like non veg meat, alcohol and excess garlic and onion. And when it comes to donation, donate blankets, white clothes or grains to poor women, widows or motherly figures in need.
Sagittarius: The eclipse energizes your third house of communication, courage, siblings and efforts. Misunderstandings with siblings or neighbors may occur. Rash decisions in travel or business may cause stress. Be mindful of your speech. One harsh word could undo years of trust. This is a time to cultivate courage not through aggression, but through calm faith. Channel your energy into mantra, chanting, writing or journaling. Chant the mantra Om Shri Ramaya Namah. And follow a diet plan where you eat more sprouts fruits, barley, roti and khichdi. Avoid excess chili and spices that agitate Jupiter’s wisdom. And when it comes to donation, donate yellow fruits like bananas or books to students. Support your younger siblings if they are struggling. Help them in whatever way it is possible for you.
Capricorn: The eclipse touches your second house of family speech and wealth. Control your tongue during this time, my fellows. Capricorn. Control your tongue. Words may come out harsher than intended, leading to family conflict. Financial worries may weigh heavy upon you, but avoid risky investments during this period. The second house is also the house of values. This eclipse asks you, do you value people above positions or positions above people? Choose wisely and chant the mantra Om Shri Ganeshaya Namah. Chant this mantra with deep devotion. The blessings of Lord Ganesh will help you remain calm and you will be able to control your mind. In a more efficient way. When it comes to our diet plan, take simple satvic meals such as chapati or roti dal vegetables. Avoid alcohol, smoking and heavy rich food. When it comes to donation, donate grains, ghee or food packets to an old age home or a needy family.
Aquarius: this Eclipse this lunar eclipse falls directly on you, my fellow Aquarius as it activates your first house of self, body and destiny. Expect an emotional storm, fatigue, self doubt, health concerns and deep karmic tests. With both Rahu’s shadow and Sade Sati’s weight. This is a karmic constant crossroad for you. But remember, Aquarius is not a sign of despair. It is the sign of revolution, of breaking boundaries. The eclipse is forcing you to shed arrogance, false pride and narrowness. Embrace humility, spirituality and humanity. You are being prepared for a higher destiny. Chant the mantra Om Namah Shivaya. Lord Shiva absorbs karmic burdens and gives new life. So surrender to Lord Shiva and continue chanting this mantra 108 times on the lunar eclipse day as well as two days before the eclipse and two days after the eclipse. And when it comes to your diet plan, fasting with fruits, milk or water on the lunar eclipse day is best for you. Aquarius and post eclipse, take only Satwik vegetarian meals. Avoid non veg for the entire week. That is three days before the eclipse and three days after the eclipse. When it comes to donation, donate black sesame seeds, black blankets or footwear to the poor homeless. Help the oppressed and downtrodden people.
And now comes my all time favorite sign. If you all have been following me, you all know that Pisces is my all time favorite sign. And so for Pisces, the eclipse illuminates your 12th house of sleep, moksha, expenditure and foreign lands. You may feel restless, unable to sleep or emotionally isolated. Expenses may rise unexpectedly. But this is also the house of spiritual awakening. If you surrender, the eclipse will take you inward. This is a golden time for meditation. Mantra chanting and connecting to your inner silence. Do not fear solitude, my fellows. It is your path to moksha. The best mantra remedy for Pisces during the lunar eclipse that is two days before lunar eclipse and two days after lunar eclipse, you should chant this mantra Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya meaning I bow to Vasudeva, the eternal divine refuge. It grants inner peace and spiritual strength. My Fellows, chant this mantra on all the days including the lunar eclipse day. And your diet plan should be wherein you will fast with fruits, coconut water and Satvik vegetarian meals. Avoid indulgence or overeating out of restlessness. And when it comes to donation, donate fruits, bed sheets or help hospitals or some monastery supporting those in isolation will uplift your own karmas.
This lunar eclipse is not a curse, but a cosmic classroom. The shadows it casts are nothing but the reflection of our own karmas. Do not post negativity, do not hurt others, and never discriminate by caste or religion. Aquarius, the sign of humanity, reminds us that in the end, only compassion, humility and surrender to the Divine will carry us across.
Mahatma Gandhi once said, without devotion, action and knowledge is cold and dry. And at times they even become shackles. These words remind me of a profound real life incident from the time when the great spiritual master Akalkot Swami Samartha walked in physical form. There were two Brahmins in those days. Arrogant, swollen with pride, blinded by the false glitter of the thousands of scriptures they had memorized. With hypocrisy in their hearts and vanity in their minds, they set out on a so called victory tour. With the King’s sanction, they roamed village to village, summoning Brahmins, demanding debates on the holy Vedas. Wherever they won, they forced others to issue them a certificate of defeat, inflating their egos further. In time, they reached Kumasi, where Trivikram Bharti, the humble disciple of Akkalkot Swami, resided. With folded hands, he told them, I am a simple monk. I have not mastered the Vedas. For me, victory or defeat is the same. I cannot debate with you. But the Brahmins demanded a certificate. When Trivikram refused, they grew insistent. Finally he suggested, let us go to my Guru. Whatever he says shall be the truth. When they reached, Trivikram prostrated before his guru, narrated the incident and sought his guidance. Sri Guru calmly said, do not be arrogant of your victories. Even the Gods cannot fathom the infinite depths of the Vedas. But the two Brahmins laughed. Believing he was evading debate, they challenged him directly, demanding proof. The master, Sri Guru, simply looked across the street, noticed a humble man from the Dalit community, a community that is considered or was considered during those time as a lower class community. And so he called him near. With compassion, he said, do not fear. Step forward. Seven lines were drawn on the ground. With each line you cross, said the Guru, your past lives shall return to you. And as the man crossed line after line, memories of past births unfolded. As a hunter, as a fisherman, as a merchant, as a warrior, and finally a Brahmin well versed in the Vedas, all these past birth cycles unfolded. And as he crossed line after line, and then finally, the Master sprinkled sacred ash upon him. And in an instant his form transformed. Luminous, radiant. The brilliance of a Brahmin scholar glowing through him. With folded hands, the man began reciting the Vedas fluently. Leaving the two arrogant Brahmins speechless, trembling and stricken with chest pain, their pride collapsed, their false knowledge shattered. Prostrating before the Master, prostrating before the Guru, they begged forgiveness. With infinite compassion, the Guru said, you have mocked the sanctity of the Vedas and misused your birth as Brahmins. Hence, in your next life you shall wander as a Brahmarakshas, that is, as a ghost on the banks of the Ganga until a pious soul redeems you. This incident reveals the eternal truth, my fellows. Caste, wealth, power and status of this birth carry no guarantee for the next birthday. Arrogance in this life leads to downfall in another. I too have witnessed this narrowness in our times. Some condemned me for revering Sai Baba, saying, Sai Baba was a Muslim. How can you praise him? Others taunted me, you are a Brahmin. How can you speak so greatly of the Buddha when it was Brahmins who once opposed him? This is the tragedy of a limited mind, my fellows. These people never rise because they cling to labels and not humanity. And as a result they fall from grace, suffering not only in this life, but also in future birth cycles. But as I always say, I am not here for them. I am here for those few good hearted seekers. The ones making a sincere effort to rise above religious dogmas, caste pride and language barriers. People talk endlessly of spirituality and religion, yet they have not even become human. As the great saint Sridhar Swamy of Alandi used to say, man is still a two legged animal until he makes effort to expand his consciousness.
And how beautiful is this divine synchronicity that the very message we are contemplating now is none other than the message of Aquarius, the sign of humanity, freedom and equality. That is why I have immense respect for the zodiac sign Aquarius. We are living in the Aquarian age. An age that will no longer tolerate narrowness, discrimination of caste, discrimination of religion or language will be uprooted, democracy will refine, society will evolve and humanity will slowly embrace universality. Even great masters have confirmed this, my fellows, Swami Yukteswargiri the Guru of Paramahan’s Yogananda. In his timeless work, the book Holy Science clearly states that Kali Yug is over. We are now in Dwapar Yuga, an age of rising consciousness. The coming decades will only deepen this current. So, my friends, as this lunar eclipse in Aquarius unfolds, let us shred arrogance, drop pride and remember. True spirituality is not in clinging to a caste or creed or language. It is in expanding consciousness. In becoming truly human.
Jai Sri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
