Astrology of Sexual Encounters

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Attraction happens through the **5th house**, and this attraction is purely based on past-life karmic patterns. Your taste, your preferences, and your ideas about a partner are all directly related to your past-life karmic connections. Often, you may see a beautiful woman falling in love with a seemingly unattractive man or a handsome man falling in love with an unattractive woman. This happens because their attraction stems from their past-life connection. The source of love, attraction, or the line “I like you” originates from the **abode of the 5th house**.

Next comes partnership, which is governed by the **7th house**. There are countless cases where a man loves one person but marries someone else, or a woman loves someone but ends up marrying another. This highlights that there is no necessary connection between love and marriage. Occasionally, people marry the ones they love, but this is not always the case. Sometimes, destiny has other plans. The **7th house** also represents the public domain, which is why “marriage” is linked to this house. Marriage is a public declaration of bonding. All the angular houses of the chart (Kendra houses) are connected to public life and society.

So far, I have explained the essence of the **5th and 7th houses**, both of which are connected to intimacy and sexual encounters. However, the final seal that confirms sexual encounters comes from the **8th house**. The **8th house** is directly linked to pure sexual intimacy. There are many married couples who are not sexually active yet share deep love and affection. In such cases, the **8th house** is not prominent, while the **5th and 7th houses** are strong and activated. Conversely, there are marriages or relationships where there is only sex, and sometimes even sexual violence. In these instances, the **8th house** dominates, while the **5th and 7th houses** are weak. Often, the lord of the **8th house** is afflicted or poorly placed. Cheating, extra-marital affairs, or engaging in multiple sexual relationships while being in a committed relationship are all connected to the **8th house**, particularly when it is strong, while the **5th and 7th houses** are weak.

Having explained the **5th, 7th, and 8th houses**, let’s now focus on the **planets** that signify sexual encounters when connected to these houses.

The first planet is **Venus**, the natural significator of love, romance, and sensuality.
The second planet is **Mars**, representing passion, energy, and sexual drive.
The third and most impactful planetary entity is **Rahu**, which amplifies desires and unconventional aspects of relationships.

Whenever a combination of these three planets connects to the **5th, 7th, and 8th houses**, you are likely to experience sexual encounters. The **8th house** is a house of suddenness, so if you are undergoing the **Mahadasha** or **Antardasha** of the planet ruling the **8th house** or **5th house**, you are bound to experience love and sexual intimacy during this period.

There is no shame in this, as everything happens due to past-life karmic connections. Sometimes people fall from grace, but it is important to remember: the glory lies not in never falling but in rising every time you fall. Mistakes are a part of life, but repeating the same mistakes makes one foolish. True wisdom is in learning from mistakes and raising your awareness, which helps you rise again. That is true glory.

If you are a good-hearted person and have made mistakes—such as having multiple sexual encounters or cheating on your partner—you should not live in guilt. Instead, learn from your mistakes, avoid repeating them, and remain loyal to your partner. I do not admire people who pretend they are perfect or claim they will never make mistakes. Such individuals live in ignorance because no one can predict how planetary influences may drive them to act out of character.

Always remain humble. Instead of criticizing those who have fallen from grace, support them, help them, and give them a second chance. If it can happen to them, it can happen to you or even to your children one day.

Be compassionate. It is true that every person should strive to live with awareness, but many times, past-life karma leads to such situations. If someone is making efforts not to repeat the mistakes they made in their past or current life, show mercy. Give them a second chance, for one who shows mercy is greater than one who punishes.

Enough for now. Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Two Planets That Neutralize Rahu

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Karma is of three types. Prarabhada Karma which is directly connected to your past birth karma, Sanchit Karma which is reservoir of all your past births karma and kriya mana karma which is directly connected with what you DO NOW – at this very moment. So all your routine daily actions are recorded as Kriya mana Karma. Astrology remedies are primarily focused on improving your Kriya mana Karma – so that the more good you do NOW – the better you will be able to overcome and face the effects of your sins done in the past life. What is sin? Sin is something that happens in the absence of awareness. Lao Tzu says TOO MUCH is the only SIN – he is right because it is only in the absence of awareness that you start doing too much – you become too much greedy for power, for sex, for money, and this too muchness leads to your fall and misery!

The reason I was explaining you all about the significance of Karma because – in your past births – you too have been doing too much due to which – now in this birth you have been facing so many problems in life. Too much of selfishness leads you to a life of many miseries. Karma or action never leaves you. So first of all get rid of all the myths that one day you will be totally free from karma. That is not possible. Karma always remains as long as you are alive in this human body. However the nature of Karma will vary based on your level of consciousness. For example – a person of base level of consciousness is doing all kinds of labor work – that is his level of karma. A person with a little more level of consciousness may be a businessmen – he works to earn more money so that he can enjoy the pleasures of life – that is his level of karma. A person with a little more level of consciousness may be a big businessmen – he works to create jobs for others, he want to earn more money so that he help the poor and give back to the society. A person with a little more level of consciousness maybe a social leader – he dedicates his whole life towards the betterment of the society. And so many such levels of karma exist depending on the level of consciousness the individual operates in this human birth. And then even when an individual attains great progress on the spiritual path – still he is not free of karma because sitting on the top of the mountain – he meditates day and night – he chants day and night – but that is also Karma! So you see KARMA always remains. However the level of karma changes based on the level of consciousness of the individual. So if anybody is telling you – that now you don’t have any karma left – that you are now
totally free of karma then he is simply fooling you and himself as well.

So the ultimate truth is that KARMA always remains. Though the quality of Karma continues to differ from person to person – because each person operate at different level of consciousness.

In Astrology – Saturn signify Karma. But as I have mentioned earlier – in astrology multiple planets come together to signify the nature of the Karma. Saturn is the Judge who decides whether your Karma is good or bad. But which planets signify the nature of your karma? Jupiter and Mars. Jupiter is Vivek. Vivek means being positive, being constructive. Jupiter is the energy that guide you to do the right thing. And Mars is all about doing! All the actions come under the domain of Mars because without energy you cannot do any act and this energy is Mars. So when Jupiter and Mars are positive and strong in your birth chart then it is obvious that the nature of your Karma will also be positive leading to a positive Saturn placement in your chart. And so when Jupiter, Mars are positive – Saturn is also positive. And when all these three planets are positive then Rahu also naturally is beneficial for you. Therefore natives having a strong positive placement of Jupiter and Mars – always experience a positive Rahu Mahadasha or Rahu transits.

Jupiter Mars conjunction there is one of my favorite conjunction – if this conjunction falls in a positive chart – then you don’t have to worry much about Rahu or Rahu Mahadasha – because this conjunction signify that your Rahu must be alright and so will be your life – alright!

And so if you are about to embark on the 18 years of Rahu Mahadasha – then don’t worry. Check the placement of Mars and Jupiter in your chart as well as the transit of Saturn in your birth chart.

And for those who are still wondering on what to do if Mars and Jupiter are placed badly in your birth chart – then don’t worry, every problem has a solution. And the solution is simple because God is simple, Love is simple, Truth is simple!

Start fasting on Thursdays and Tuesdays. From sunrise to sunset – eat only fruits and drink only water and nothing else. Additionally – on Tuesdays – visit Lord Hanuman temple and recite Hanuman Chalisa or listen to Hanuman Chalisa. Worship Lord Hanuman on Tuesdays, offer sweets in his temple. And on Thursdays – visit Lord Dattareya Temple and offer sweets and garland. And recite the powerful Dutta Bavani written by the great spiritual master Rangavdhoot Maharaj. His Ashram is located near the Narmada river in Gujarat. Dutta Bavani is a miraculous ten pages small booklet having 52 verses and if you recite these 52 verses daily in the morning – I tell you – you will be alright and do well during Rahu Mahadasha period.

Jupiter is all about be righteousness – and Mars is the energy that you have to use for the well being of your family and society. If you focus on strengthening the frequency of these two planets – Jupiter and Mars – the you will be smiling all your life.

Rahu is a smoke. Now depending on what you burn – you will get the smoke accordingly. If you burn an incense stick – then you will get the smoke of fragrance. If you burn a dead body – then you will get a bad smell of the burning flesh. So it all depends on what you burn! So when you say that you are suffering due to Rahu – it means that you have been burning the flesh of a dead body – meaning your actions are not good. And so you have to focus on doing good actions. I remember – a young man had approached me for consultation – and I just ignored him because many times just by listening to the voice – I get the message that this is not the right time to consult this person and so I told him to come after six months. After six months this man came – I thought he must have gone somewhere else – but he came to me after six months – so then I could not reject his request for consultation – ideally I should have rejected because that’s what the message was from the higher calling. But I gave him a consideration and then after reading his chart – told him to visit a certain temple. This man visited the temple and then after two days messaged me that – I visited the temple and now I have got big loss in my stock investment. He was blaming the temple visit for his own stupidity of investing in wrong stocks! And he didn’t stop there – he started abusing that temple Goddess and God in his message. I blocked him because he was totally out of his senses. But this is how it happens – I told him to visit the temple, meditate, pray so that his karma will improve but he did exactly the other way round – he made his own karma more bad by abusing the God and Goddess who absolutely had no interest in his so called stock investments!

So this is how weird kind of people exist in this vast human world that they want help but when help is provided then are not able to receive it with grace! And from that day – I have been listening to the Higher Calling and giving consultation to only those who become eligible for my consultation.

Always remember – many times you feel to help those suffering in life – but you cannot help them because they don’t have the depth of understanding or the sense of gratitude which is necessary if you truly want to overcome the miseries of life. Buddha says “Life is Suffering” because if you truly come to the state of awareness then you will self realize that in this human world there is more pain than happiness! Therefore the great Guru Samarth Ramdas Swami writes in Marathi  language a beautiful verse –जगी सर्व सुखी असा कोण आहे, विचारी मना तूची शोधूनी पाहे !! – meaning – he says to the mind – “O mind – in this world who is happy, search and find yourself.”  Nobody is happy in this human world – if they have a luxurious car then they are aspiring to have an airplane soon. And if they have an airplane then they are aspiring to visit the space soon! So you see nobody is content with what they have and happiness is possible only when you live with contentment! “‘ठेविले अनंते तैसेचि रहावे चित्ती असू द्यावे समाधान'” quotes Saint Tukaram in Marathi language – meaning the great Saint Tukaram writes “Just be the way existence what you to be and imbibe a sense of contentment in your mind.”

Samadhan means contentment – and Rahu is exactly opposite to the sense of being content! And so when going through Rahu Mahadasha – if your Jupiter (Vivek) and Mars (Action) is not in the right state then you will remain unsatisfied and this sense of dissatisfaction will make you wander all over the planet until you realize that enough is enough and you come and surrender at the feet of your master. Diogenes was telling the same thing to Alexander-the great. Diogenes was a great spiritual master and he said to Alexander – “Come and relax with me.” But Alexander said ” I cannot come now – because I have to still conquer the world. Once I conquer the whole world – I will come back” Diogenes said – “Nobody comes back.” The desires never end. They make you run like an idiot – and thats what happened with Alexander, the Great. His ambitious nature proved dangerous and one day he died and he was not able to conquer the whole world. And in today’s world also we have many such Alexanders – they are not willing to stop. This is how the world is ruined by such Alexanders. All Alexanders are foolish because ambition is a bottle of poison on which the label says “its pure nectar”!

Unless and until you realize that ambition is a bottle of poison – you will continue to damage yourself and then when you fail – when you suffer – you will label it with a word that every ignorant fools labels with – Destiny. Ignorant fools label their own foolishness as Destiny. The wise never put the blame on destiny – they take the responsibility for their actions and work towards correcting themselves by living their life with a deep sense of surrender and gratitude. And that is how a sinner becomes a saint – and history has been witness to may such real life examples – Saul became Saint Paul, Ratnakar became Saint Valmiki. So transformation is possible – but only when you are willing to take that first step of faith…

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Venus in All 12 Signs

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Venus signify sexual behavior, as well as love relationships. However in Astrology – one planet cannot provide the end result – it provides the end result based on it association and aspects with other planets. However in this podcast I am simply going to quickly give you a taste of Venus in all 12 signs.

Venus in Aries gets quickly in physical relationship. This is a very candid position for Venus – such a native wants to mingle quickly and so if you have Venus in Aries then you will not hesitate to get quickly physical with the woman or man you love. Aries Venus is very impulsive in love matters – they are quick to fall in love and their relationship also ends abruptly.

Venus in Taurus needs a lot of romantic dose. Such a woman or man are more filmy and generally love to add a spice of drama in their love life. Venus in Taurus woman or man are good in the art of love making, they take great interest in Kamasutra – sometime I wonder if Vatsyayana also had this placement because he scripted the Kamasutra with so much passion and dedication. Kamasutra is probably the only ancient scripture that details the various sexual positions and describes the art of love making in detail.

Venus in Gemini needs a lot of romantic talk before doing the actual sex act. These natives seem to be very much interested in all kind of sexual talks that excite them to just do it. Venus in Gemini native also has good command over language – they can say exactly those things that can make you feel good and excited. Talkative girlfriends – girlfriend who keep messaging and calling – generally have a very strong Venus in Gemini. If you fall in love with a woman with Venus in Gemini – then beware she will keep you engaged with constant messaging and phone calls.

Venus in Cancer is my favorite. I like these kind of native as they are very caring towards their relationship partners. They are very slow in their approach and generally a woman with Venus in Cancer will definetely not jump in the bed with you unless she is 100% sure about your character, and unless she feel 100% secure in your company. Once you have a girlfriend with Venus in Cancer then you are in safe hands because she will take a lot of care and sometimes you will feel that she is just the way your mother is – very caring, loving and understanding my nature! My favorite therefore is Venus in Cancer.

Venus in Leo is all about showoff. These natives are very open about their feelings and generally they will not indulge in any shady love affairs. Instead they will openly walk together hand in hand and declare to the world – that they are in love with each other! I appreciate this placement because the woman or man is simply very liberal, not very clinging and kind of reflect a very straightforward attitude when it comes to expressing love and falling in love. Venus in Leo will not express their love verbally by saying “I love you” – instead they will show through their actions – they will give you a royal treatment, they will take you to the best restaurants in the town, they will gift you expensive items, they will take you on a long ride, so through their actions they will make you feel special and then one fine day – you would fall in love and then once they come to know that you are in love – they will propose you in a grand manner – or rather in a very dramatic way! Because Leo loves drama and they are indeed very good at it!

Venus in Virgo is all about those little things of life. A native with Venus in Virgo is indeed a very unique person – he will not talk about your new dress rather he will take care that you new dress is not spoiled. He will not appreciate your beauty – rather he will ensure that you use the best and safest beauty products and that your makeup remains intact through out the day. He will ensure that you eat hygienic food and that you remain fit and fine. So you see – Virgo native is a lover who cares for all the small things in your life and I think this is a very unique and sweet way of expressing love towards the person you love. Now the other side is that your lover may expect you to be more romantic – to go out on the street and enjoy street food, to dance in the rains – but Virgo Venus will hesitate because you may catch cold if you dance in the rains! So you see then some may address the poor Venus Virgo native as unromantic but in reality he is romantic but his too much focus on safety, hygiene, and the nature of detailing can lead to mood off! So that is why Venus in Virgo should never marry or have a relationship with Venus in Libra or Venus in Taurus – because they are too romantic, wild and happy go lucky fellows while our Virgo Venus native is a very practical, play safe type native! Maybe that is why Venus is not so happy in Virgo – and so Venus debilitates in Virgo! Debilitated Venus can also cause sexual perversion.

Venus in Libra is that wild romantic intellectual woman whom you just can’t miss. Generally this Libra Venus gives an aura of joyousness around the native. The native has very refined taste and generally will settle only for the best brands. These are very brand conscious people. They generally associate with a certain elite class of people. Even if a woman or man with Libra Venus is born in a slum area still they will rise and associate themselves with the elite class. Venus in Libra is a very interesting person. You will not be bored – because these natives are like walking encyclopedia. They are filled with poetry, and they make your life juicy because they are so juicy. A dry person – meaning a very logical calculative person will be a curse for such beautiful Venus Libra natives. Venus Libra are experts in the art of love making and they also understand the significance of a good sexual life.

Venus in Scorpio is a man of passions. He or she is so much passionate about their relationship, their work, their studies that they bring a certain depth to every situation they come across. These are intense lovers. If you fall in love with a women with Venus in Scorpio then she will not hesitate to do anything for you. She is full of passion and she expects you also to be as passionate as she is! In a way I love Venus in Scorpio – yes it is too intense, yes it is too loud, yes it is too deep, but that is what brings a certain spice in life. When a Scorpio Venus man falls in love with a woman then he will not hesitate to take risk – he will sacrifice everything just for you. Reminds of that movie – Superman – when the Hero sacrifice all his supernatural powers for the love of his life – Lois. I truly appreciate such kind of deep love – love that is ready to sacrifice – love that knows no limits – love that is willing to jump in the unknown. Love Affair is all about jumping into the unknown!

Venus in Sagittarius sign is a man of principles. He will fall in love abruptly but he will jump in the bed only when he is committed to you. He is not a man who enjoys one-night stand. She is not a woman who just sleeps for one night and then disappears. Such natives gives a lot of importance to commitment. So if you have got a girlfriend having Venus in Sagittarius then she is truly committed to you. Such natives also bring a lot of philosophy, higher ideals to their relationship. Such a woman definetely becomes a mother or wife who loves to give daily dose of morality, ethics and higher principals. In a way this is a likable placement and a sensible person would not hestitate to associate with a woman having Venus in Sagittarius simply because she knows her limits and she would never cross her line and similarly she would also expect you to remain in your limits and to not to cross the line. Such woman are idealists, philosophers and they raise the quality of life to new heights. I certainly like this placement – however please note that Venus in Cancer and Venus in Sagittarius is not a good match – one is very sensitive and caring while the other is very dashing and idealist by nature.

Venus in Capricorn native is a very pragmatic person. Such a native takes lot of time before giving a commitment. If you are having a girlfriend with this placement then she will remain very loyal to you and if you have a boyfriend with Venus in Capricorn then he will be a very loyal fellow who will always be with you in all your thick and thins of life. Venus in Capricorn takes love as a responsibility. So when he proposes you and says those three magical words – “I Love You” – he means it. First of all these native take a lot of time to propose and once they propose they will stay committed. In fact they propose only when they get strong signals that the person they love also is in love with them. Generally these are fellows who look forward to having a long term stable relationship. Gemini Venus and Leo Venus will turn them off – because Gemini Venus is like a bird who hestitates to commit and Leo Venus is a showoff person which Capricorn Venus dislikes. So apart from these two types – rest all goes well with our cool and steady Capricorn Venus natives.

Venus in Aquarius are totally like those aliens who comes from another planet. Their idea of love is very progressive, they would not mind sleeping with a women whom they love – they would not mind having a one night stand – they go by their intellectuality and less by morals and ethics. Having said this – it is not that they are people of loose characters – but is just that they don’t like to bring any rigid rules and age old traditions in between their love interests. When you love – you simply love – this is what they truly believe in and so they would not think a lot – they are spontaneous by nature – love also is spontaneous – there is no thinking, no talking but just feeling the warmth of love and just doing it and enjoying the bliss of the moment is what these natives believe in. These are not very caring natives – they also are not very emotional like Cancer Venus – and so these natives generally should not associate with girlfriend or boyfriends having Venus in Cancer. Similarly Venus in Virgo is a straight no for these natives. Aquarius loves freedom, liberal thoughts, enjoying sex without having any boundaries – all these is against the rules of Venus Virgo natives and so this marriage never works – the marriage between Venus Virgo and Venus Aquarius! Overall these are fun lovers – they are highly intellectual people and they just love to live their life in their own way – my way OR highway is what their slogan is.

Venus in Pisces is the peak of pure love. The most refined love, the most unconditional love is found with Venus in Pisces. The woman with this position is actually a very interesting character. She also takes great interest in spirituality and she understands the essence of true love. The most striking characteristic of this placement is that these native do not hesitate to sacrifice for love. They understand that True love is sacrifice. It is in giving, not in getting, not in gaining; in realizing, not in possessing, that we love! Refined love, Idealist love, Moral love, Pragmatic love, Detailing love – till now all the 11 signs showed various shades of love – but Pisces is beyond all! For Pisces – to not to be – to completely lose yourself for the sake of love is what matters above all. Venus is exalted in Pisces because Love blossoms in a selfless environment! Love grows when there is no possessiveness. And this kind of environment is only possible in the sign of Pisces – the last sign – the 12th sign – the ending of all miseries. That is why Pisces is my favorite zodiac sign. Ketu also rejoices in Pisces. Jupiter dwells in Pisces. And Venus exalts in Pisces. What else you want! This is the culmination of all great things. Venus is always very comfortable in watery signs – and so good sexual life and a promising love life is possible with Venus in Pisces.

So – Venus is beautiful but it is the sign that gives its beauty new look, new dimensions. Just the way a beautiful dress is. The dress is beautiful but it will show its charisma based on the woman or man who wears it.

And therefore signs matter a lot. The sign that your Venus has occupied for this birth is based on your past life tastes and behaviour patterns. The results of Venus in all 12 signs is a generic overview and much depends on which planet conjuncts, aspects your Venus in your personal birth chart. Always remember – when your love relationship breaks – when your wife leaves or abandons you – when your husband cheats and leaves you for another woman – because there is a past life karmic connection. Always remember nothing happens in you life without a reason. And the reason is you and your past life misdeeds. Whatever you have done, whatever you are doing,whatever you will do, is not separate and apart from you. It is your own game. If you are suffering, it is your own choice. If you are blissful, it is your own choice. No one else is responsible.

There was a newly appointed Professor. Students addressed him as Professor Sharma. Whenever Professor Sharma used to have lunch with other Professors – he noticed a strange thing. During lunch time – a young professor would sit next to him and whenever he used to open his tiffin box he would look inside the tiffin box and say “Again it is potatoes and chapatis!” Professor Sharma thought maybe the young professor doesn’t like potatoes and chapatis. But as he was new there, he didn’t say anything. Next day the same thing happened. The young professor opened his lunch box, looked in and sighed, ”The same potatoes, the same chapatis!”

So then Professor Sharma said to the young professor – ”If you don’t like potatoes why don’t you tell your wife to make something else?”

The young professor said ”Wife! What wife?
I make my lunch myself?”

This is your life. There is nobody else. If you laugh, you laugh; if you cry, you cry. No one else is responsible. You have been stupid in the past life and you have been repeating the same stupidity this life also – and so unless you become aware you will continue to bring “Potatoes and Chappatis” in your tiffin box and behave as if you never knew about it!

The day you will stop making the same “Potatoes and Chappatis” – you will start enjoying your tiffin box – your love life.

5th House and Finding Successor

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

It is said that the disciples of Gautama Buddha wanted to know the successor of Gautama Buddha. However Gautam Buddha never mentioned about his successor. He was such a simple man – instead of appointing his successor, he simply asked his disciples to work out their own salvation. So officially – there has been no successor to Gautama Buddha. However after Gautama Buddha left his body – it was Mahakasayap who also was the first enlightened disciple of Buddha – took over the monastery and he was the one who presided over the First Buddhist Council that happened after the death of Gautama Buddha. Gautama Buddha had exchanged his robe with Mahakasayap – a sign that after Buddha – it was Mahakasayap who would establish the Buddhist Discipline. The true master would never officially declare his successor but through his actions he will let you know – who is his real successor. In reality – there can be no successor because nobody could replace you – your uniqueness is irreplaceable however somebody close to you, somebody who has been with you and has truly resonated with you – can carry the work you had started with.

In Astrology – 5th house is the house of successor. Whether you have a biological son or daughter or whether you have a devoted fellow – either way – you have created something. Creating a biological son or daughter is one thing and creating a devoted fellow who understands you inside out is another thing. Both are part of creation – but the one that you have created by your wisdom, your love, your knowledge and your compassion is of much higher realms. I myself have no child and yet I have my own creations that would continue to spread the light of awareness when I am dead.

Many men and women don’t have a biological child. However through their compassion, love and nurturing quality – they have produced such devoted fellows who may go to any length and do the unimaginable which a biological child may also not dare to do!

So I want to debunk the myth that it is only the biological child who can succeed you and your legacy – 5th house is not just limited to biological child – it also signify the many good hearted fellow followers and students and disciples that you have created through your wisdom, love and compassion. And of all these followers – one of them can become your successor. Successor means not that he will be exactly like you – because you are unique – every person is unique – but successor means he will carry forward the values, principles, ethics, and teaching that you imparted when you were alive.

Now after the 5th house – it is the role of Jupiter that matters the most. Depending on the state of Jupiter in your chart – you will find your successor. And the last but very important planet is Saturn – since Saturn is directly connected with Prarabhada Karma – depending on the state of Saturn – you will pass on your legacy to a specific person and that specific person may not be a biological son or daughter but if there is a strong Prarabhada karma connection of past and present life then nobody can stop that person from becoming your successor.

Successor need not be a person who is born in your family. Successor can be a person who has no blood relation with you and yet nobody can understand your better than him. And so whether you don’t have a biological child or you have a biological child – your successor is the one who becomes your soul mate.

What is soul mate? Soul mate is a term coined to express the deep connection between two person which is beyond words. A soul mate can be a partner, a friend, a student, a disciple or a devotee. In a soul mate relation – there is only pure unconditional love. And so I think that there can be no better example of a soul mate than the relation between a Guru and Disciple. Many guru-disciple relationships are soul mate connections that can lead to higher spiritual paths and love. Paramahansa Yogananda described the guru-disciple relationship as a “very personal and private spiritual bond”. No love is so total as the love that happens between the master and the disciple. The love that happened between John and Jesus, the love that happened between Sariputta and Buddha. These are the real love stories, the highest pinnacles of love.

Buddha had officially no successor but he had great disciples who loved him dearly. And from these great disciples – Sariputta was a gem of a person. It happened so that one day Sariputta – Buddha’s chief disciple became enlightened. With tears in his eyes he came to Buddha and he said. “I was avoiding enlightenment, but you went on insisting. Now I am enlightened and my eyes are full of tears because I know you will send me away from you, just to spread the fire. And I understand your compassion, that you are continuously aware of the many who can become buddhas: just a little support is needed. Those who have not gone very far away from themselves can be called back very easily.”

Buddha said, “Then why are you crying?”

He said, “I am crying because I will not be able to touch your feet every day as I have been doing for these twenty years.”
Buddha said, “Do one thing. Keep a map with you, and remember in what direction I am dwelling. Just bow down in that direction. Touch the feet symbolically, touch the earth – because after all this body is made of earth, and one day it will go back to the earth. So touching the earth is not only touching my feet, but touching the feet of all the buddhas who have ever happened. They have all dissolved their bodies in the earth. So there is no need, and it does not look right, that an enlightened person should weep and cry.”

Sariputta said, “I don’t care what people think, but the reality is that tears are coming. And according to your teaching, I should be spontaneous and authentic. Even if you say, “Don’t weep” I am not going to listen. Tears are coming, what can I do? I cannot be a hypocrite, smiling though the eyes are full of tears.”

It is said that Sariputta, wherever he was, in the morning would look at the map, to find exactly where Buddha was, and in that direction he would bow down and touch the feet of Buddha. He came to have thousands of disciples of his own and they said,” It does not look right. You need not do such a gesture. You are a buddha yourself.” He said, “It is true, I am a buddha myself, but I would not have been a buddha if I had not met Gautama the Buddha. It is the meeting with this man that triggered something in me, burned all that was false and brought all that was true in its pristine purity and clarity. I owe so much to this man that there is no way to pay him. All that I can do is touch his feet from miles away.”

He continues to his very last breath. Before he died – he died before Gautama Buddha – the last thing he said to his disciples was, “Forgive me because you cannot see those invisible feet. Let me touch the feet of my master for the last time.” And he bowed down, tears flowing from his eyes and he died in that posture. He did not get up again. That is true humanity – humbleness, devotion, love and trust. And such qualities can only be found in a disciple – a devoted disciple who understood Gautama Buddha more than Ananda. Ananda was the elder cousin brother of Gautama Buddha – he followed Buddha for forty years but he could not attain enlightenment – he could not understand Gautama the Buddha it totality the way Sariputta, the way Mahakasayap understood Gautama, the Buddha!

And so successor is your soul mate – and soul mate usually is never connected to you biologically – he is always an outside who remains deeply connected with your inner beauty that nobody in your family could relate to!

So whether you have a biological child or you don’t have a biological child – the real successor is someone who always is an outsider though he shares a bond of many past births with you which the shallow world could never realize and so the real successors are not known to the public – they do their work silently, they ensure that the light of consciousness reach the farthest shores of this planet – you may never come to know about them but they are the ones who answer your prayers – they are the chosen ones, the living Buddhas of this human world.

Remember – what you seek is also seeking you. You think you are alone – but you are never alone – somebody is watching you…somebody out there is always taking care of you. You just need to have strong faith and patience. “Shraddha Aur Saburi” says Sai Baba – meaning if you have deep unwavering faith and patience then you will always succeed in life. The engine that help you to remain patient is called “F A I T H“. Walk by faith and not by sight.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Conquer Karma Through Silence, Mantras

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Whatever is to happen will happen, no matter what you do, and whatever is not to happen will not happen, no matter what you do. So the best course is to stay silent – says the great spiritual master Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi. “Stay silent” is in itself a great achievement. Because usually, the mind is never willing to stay silent. The nature of the mind is to jump from one end to the other end, meaning the mind is always restless. And so the whole focus comes on the Moon Chart since the Moon signifies Mind in Astrology. When Bhagavan says “staying silent” – he gives you the secret key to real progress. How I will explain.

If you don’t stay silent, and you continue to react to every situation, then every reaction will lead you into a new karmic cycle. For example – you were denied justice – so then if you take justice into your own hands, then you are creating a new karmic cycle for yourself.

Always remember – 99% of the human population is unable to alter their destiny because they simply don’t take any efforts towards their self-growth, or towards correcting their past life karmic pattern. They simply come into this human world and follow their karmic path and die. There is absolutely no awareness – no efforts towards raising the level of their consciousness – they simply live in ignorance, and they also die in ignorance. And so it is widely accepted that nobody can alter the course of destiny.

But if you learn to stay silent, then you can alter the course of your destiny. And the most important point is that you will be able to stay silent only when you raise the level of your awareness, consciousness by accepting all that is happening in and around your life. When your consciousness expands – you realize the reasons for your current life situation. You realize that it is your past life bad karmas that are now coming back to haunt you and to make you pay for your bad karmas.

One should understand that KARMA is a very long cycle – a cycle of many births – so it is obvious that the life we are living at PRESENT is just a small part of our PAST KARMA – because in a max life of 120 years – one cannot go through the thousand years of his or her KARMIC dues!

And so the SMALL PART OF PAST KARMA that we LIVE NOW is called PRARABHDA KARMA.

Whereas the ACCUMULATED KARMA of our many PAST LIVES is called SANCHIT KARMA.

In this LIFE – we all live based on the small part of PAST KARMA – called PRARABHDA KARMA. This PRARABHDA KARMA is seen through your THIS LIFE BIRTH CHART.

In the life of Gautam Buddha – many people came and insulted him, hurt him, but he remained silent because he had attained the state of enlightenment, he knew that all the pain and suffering that came his way had something to do with his past life cycles.

Once it happened – Buddha was meditating when a man came and spat on him. Ananda was present, he could not control himself. He said, “ I will not leave this man in one piece.”

Buddha said, “ Ananda – he is insulting me and not you. So you don’t interfere. He has not spat on your body. This is my body. Secondly, just look at him, in what great trouble he is – just look at the man! Feel compassion for him. He wants to say something to me, but words are inadequate – that is my problem, my whole life’s problem. And I see him in the same situation. I want to relate things to you that I have come to know, but I cannot relate them because words are inadequate. And this man is in the same boat; he is so angry that no words can express his anger – just as I am in so much love that no word, no act can express it! I see this man’s difficulty, hence he has spat. Just see – he has so much of ANGER for me – that he has no words to express, and so he has spat on me – I can understand him, let him do what he wants to, you remain quiet.”

The man was listening – he could not believe his ears. He was taken aback. He thought Buddha will get angry, he thought Buddha will react – but Buddha was in peace, in his own bliss – the man was moved – his heartbeat was no more the same, it was beating fast with embarrassment – he fell upon Buddha’s feet and started crying – he said, “ I am very sorry – it was absolute stupidity on my part to spit on you – on a holy divine man like you. You are something else – you are different – I have never seen a man like you – I haven’t seen anybody of your caliber – please forgive me…”

Buddha said, “ There is no question of forgiving. Forgiving is required when you have done something wrong – and I don’t see you doing anything wrong – you have just expressed your ANGER by spitting on me. And now also your expressing yourself. The difference is that NOW – your expression has evolved from AWARENESS – and the moment you become AWARE – you start cleansing your KARMA. So forget about it. The man you spat upon is no more, and the man who spat is no more. You are new, I am new! Look – this rising sun is new. Everything is new. And how can I forgive you? You never spat on me. You spat on somebody who has departed.”

The moment AWARENESS comes – IGNORANCE departs. Buddha says, “The moment you become AWARE – you start cleansing your KARMA.” The man was no more the same – he had changed – he had transformed – his heart was now filled with LOVE! Once you fall in love with Buddha – you start turning inward. Because love is contagious – what you love is what you become. Whom you follow is what you become. You will follow only *that* – which is also flowering within you! AWARENESS was now flowering within the man who spat on Buddha – and it had transformed him inside-out – he became the most devoted disciple of Buddha – a lover of Buddha! It is said that when Buddha left his body – he was the one who cried the most!

With AWARENESS – KARMA can be cleansed, WITH AWARENESS – LIFE can be transformed. If you are living your life with CONSCIOUSNESS – then it doesn’t matter whether you are a Sikh, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist, or Hindu – you are as beautiful as the beautiful rose that you see in the garden!

From the very beginning of time – Astrology has been a subject of great interest for people across the globe – irrespective of what faith they follow!

From the STONE AGE – the curiosity of the sky and the stars have been existing.

Astrology was and is studied and practiced by Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, and Hindus – all alike – simply because it is a science that knows no religion, it simply knows only one religion – the religion of CONSCIOUSNESS!

And so the answer to correcting the future course of your life cycle is in raising the level of your consciousness. Through consciousness, you can correct your moon chart. The moon chart is the only chart that matters the most in the affairs of human life. Because the Moon signifies the Mind and the human population is ruled by their Mind. And so whenever there are difficult transits such as Rahu transit or Mars transit or Saturn transit or Sun transit over the natal Moon, and if Sade Sati is also running, and on top of all these happenings – if you are also going through Rahu or Ketu Mahadasha, then it is obvious that your Moon chart is spoiled, meaning your state of mind is not going to be in good shape until your time changes for good. So now you may ask the most obvious question – “How to prevent the deterioration of your Moon chart – essentially, the condition of your mind from worsening?”

And the answer is simple because truth is simple, God is simple, love is simple. The answer is – “Through consistent mantra japa you can prevent the deterioration of your Moon chart – essentially the condition of your mind from worsening.” It is a simple remedy but extremely powerful for those who are willing to listen and implement it in their daily lives.

So what happens when you chant mantra daily? By daily chanting of a specific mantra – you are able to STILL the wavering mind. When the mind becomes STILL – you are in the best position to face all kinds of situations by remaining silent and not reacting. Lao Tzu – the great spiritual master says – To a mind that is STILL – the whole universe is available. And so through constant repetition of mantra the mind can be controlled. Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi says – “By repetition of mantras, the mind gets controlled. Then the mantra becomes one with the mind and also with the prana \[the energy that sustains the body]. When the syllables of the mantra become one with the prana, it is termed dhyana, and when dhyana becomes deep and firm it leads to sahaja sthiti \[the natural state].”

Now many people when they start with their chanting practice – they tend to chant with a specific goal. Always remember mantra chanting should be non-goal oriented. If you start chanting with a specific goal and if you are in a rush, then nothing will ever manifest in your life. Since there is a backlog of many of your past life negative traits and bad karma – to cleanse all the past life karmic cycles and negative traits – it is going to take a lot of years. And while the cleansing process is happening if you indulge in any new negative karma, then that will delay the process further. And so the whole process of cleansing and coming to a state of higher consciousness is possible only by the grace of the Guru. Without Guru nothing is possible. With the Guru everything is possible. That’s why Sant Kabir says that if “God and Guru appear before me, then first I will prostrate before my Guru. Since it is my Guru who introduced God in my life. Meaning it was only through my Guru that I was able to experience God.”

God is nothing but the ultimate consciousness. But for you to embark on your spiritual journey it is necessary that the Mind is first purified. Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi quotes – “Plunge the purified mind into the heart. Then the work is over. This is the essence of all spiritual discipline.”

And so my fellows – everything comes down to your Moon Chart since the state of your mind is signified by the state of your Moon Chart. That is why all the transit of planets need to be seen through the Moon chart. That is why Shani Saade Sati is triggered when Saturn comes close to your Moon. Your Mahadasha is also based on your Moon sign Nakshatra. And so all the good events and bad events are triggered only through the transits that happen in your Moon chart. If you focus on enhancing the quality of your Moon chart by daily chanting a specific mantra and doing a minimum of 20 minutes of meditation, then slowly you will be able to make much improvement in your Moon chart leading to a much beautiful and rewarding life. Lahiri Mahasaya – the Guru of Shri Yukteshwar Giri used to say “Banat Banat Ban Jaye” meaning “Slowly Slowly you attain perfection” and so all you need is consistency. Many people are unable to be consistent in their chanting practice because their past life bad karma comes to stop them from doing consistent chanting. But it is through determination and deep faith that you need to continue chanting – no matter what. Your past life bad karma or present life bad karma may raise many doubts in your mind – may distract you – may plant many negative thoughts in your mind – but you should not pay attention to any of these games – instead, you should simply continue to chant on a daily basis. To make things easier – you can also start wearing the gemstone of your moon sign lord. I have always mentioned that there is absolutely no problem in wearing the gemstone of your moon sign lord – irrespective of which house it belongs to. By wearing the gemstone of your moon sign lord – you will be able to provide much strength to your mind. Mental strength is required to control the mind. And so if you are struggling due to poor mental strength, then please start wearing the gemstone of your moon sign lord without having any doubts in your mind.

To control the mind – it is necessary that when you start chanting – you focus on your breathing. Just by doing so – you will be able to attain the state of no mind – and in that no mind state, you continue to chant the mantra.

Every Saint has a past and every Sinner has a future. Because at some stage the Saint that you see today was also a sinner and at some stage in the near future the sinner that you see today will also become a great saint someday. And history has been a witness to such great transformations – Ratnakar was a thief and a murderer, but time came when the same Ratnakar was transformed and became Saint Valmiki. The same Saint Valmiki who scripted the greatest scriptures of all time – the Valmiki Ramayana! Saul murdered many Christians. Saul used to hate Jesus. But one day he too was transformed and to remember his moment of transformation he changed his name from Saul to Paul and this is how Saint Paul emerged. And it was this Saint Paul who built many churches in Europe. And there are many such real-life examples and so no matter how bad your Moon chart is now – you can improve, you can change, you can rise – remember the real glory is not in never falling but rising every time you fail.

How transformation happens? And the answer is when you start living your life in total surrender. Ratnakar surrendered to Narad Muni, and Narad Muni gave him a Mantra to chant and Ratnakar took to chanting and within few years he was no more the same – he transformed and attained enlightenment – he came to be known as Saint Valmiki. Saul also surrendered to Jesus. He used to cause much trouble to Christians but one day while walking he fell on the ground and lost his eyes. He became blind, he started bleeding – and then some Christians carried him to Jesus. And Jesus was such a beautiful man – he moved his hands over those bleeding eyes and Saul got back his eyes – he could now see Jesus standing before him – he started crying – he fell on Jesus’s feet and said, “Forgive me – forgive me for all my stupidity” And Jesus raised him up – gave him a hug and said, “Why you cry? You have arrived.” And that is how Saul became Saint Paul. In Christian religion also there is a practice of chanting specific verses of the Bible. Even the Jews chant specific verses of the Torah – a holy book containing the teachings of Moses. And so chanting has been a practice across all religions and faiths and it is an open secret that has been known to many but the larger question is – who is willing to listen? who is willing to implement?

And so if you are listening, if you are implementing the daily course of chanting mantra in your life then I tell you – there is absolutely no need to worry – your mind will not only attain strength but will also merge in the mantra and then instead of the mind – it is the mantra that will take over and then the journey of joy begins, then the dance, the bliss, the love starts welling up in your heart – this is the way of its happening – this is how it happens – you just need to get started.

Enough for now – Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Saturn Direct 2024 Effects

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Saturn is going direct on November 15th, which incidentally is also my birthday! This is great news for me and for all my followers born on November 15th, as Saturn turns direct on this powerful day. When a planet is retrograde, it enhances certain qualities; for example, retrograde Saturn can help sharpen your observation skills and judgment. However, it also tends to slow down your normal pace, particularly in decision-making, as you’re drawn more toward reflection than action. As decision-making slows, fewer things get implemented or manifested due to a lack of action.

In simple terms, retrograde Saturn may boost your observation and analytical skills. But since you’re often re-evaluating yourself and the world, you may tend to procrastinate, which can impact your finances, relationships, and career. Now, as of November 15th, Saturn will go direct, and slowly, you’ll feel the energy to take action again. Exactly 45 days later, you’ll start noticing the benefits of Saturn—Shani Maharaj—unfolding in your life.

The cycles of retrograde and direct motion are divinely orchestrated by the will of God. Retrograde represents a pause, while direct motion represents moving forward. If you don’t understand the power of pausing, you miss the chance to grow from the inside out. Self-growth is often possible when you pause, when you simply do nothing, and retrograde gives you this golden opportunity to stop, rethink, re-strategize, renovate, relocate, revamp, and recharge yourself. This period allows you to become a better version of yourself, ready to take on the world when the retrogression stops and the planet resumes its normal pace. Now, as Saturn returns to its direct path from November 15th onward, let’s explore how this significant planetary shift will impact each of the 12 zodiac signs.

Aries – Saturn going direct is excellent news for Aries natives, as it will put your career and family life on a positive track. You’ll start benefiting from your networking skills, and your friends will be more cooperative and understanding toward you. This shift also brings a significant positive change in your earnings. If you’ve been waiting and trying for a good job, Shani Maharaj is likely to bless you with one. Shani Maharaj always favors those who refrain from hurting others with arrogant or offensive comments or behavior. So, if you are a good-hearted person, mark my words—this shift in Saturn’s movement will certainly bring a big smile to your face. And when you smile, you look beautiful. So hang in there, and don’t give up, as Saturn is returning to save you from your troubles. Just keep focusing on doing good karma.

Remedy for more benefits – For 45 days, each evening, light a mustard oil lamp in your temple or pooja room, facing the south direction.

Taurus – Retrograde Saturn brought challenges and setbacks in your career, affecting your self-growth efforts. However, as Saturn returns to its direct motion, you’ll notice unresolved issues at work starting to clear up, and differences with your seniors will begin to ease. Relations with your father or fatherly figures will also improve. Any obstacles to higher education or foreign travel will be removed. In recent months, your luck factor may have felt weak, but now you’ll start experiencing a positive shift in how people perceive you, and you’ll regain your lost confidence. Overall, Saturn—Shani Maharaj—is set to bring more laughter and joy into your life, as long as you remain sincere, loyal, and humble. Remember, if you cause trouble for others, Saturn cannot bring good results. So, stop troubling others, and this positive movement of Saturn will certainly bring good news into your life.

Remedy for more benefits: For 45 days, each evening light a lamp with Chameli oil (Jasmine oil) in front of Lord Hanuman’s image, and you will be alright.

Gemini: Retrograde Saturn has significantly impacted your marriage or relationship, and your finances have taken a hit as well. However, as Saturn goes direct, you’ll gradually find relief in both relationship and financial matters. Exactly 45 days from now, you’ll start feeling much better and more relaxed. However, if you are a negative person who offends others with hurtful comments or actions, nothing will improve in your life, and you’ll continue to face difficulties. To receive the positive results of Saturn, focus on your karma—stop hurting others with your words and actions, and you’ll start making progress in life.

Remedy for best results: For 45 days, each evening, light a silver lamp with cow’s ghee in your temple (Pooja Ghar), facing east.

Cancer: Retrograde Saturn has brought considerable pain and suffering into your life. Positioned in the 8th house for Cancer natives, the past six months have been a period of testing. Your enemies have been working against you, constantly trying to undermine you, but now, as Saturn goes direct, the tables will turn, and you will emerge victorious. Your adversaries will start feeling the pressure, while you’ll find your way and begin progressing. Issues in marriage or relationships will begin to ease, and your finances will also improve. It’s essential to fast on all Saturdays, visit a Lord Hanuman temple each Saturday, break a coconut, and donate 2 liters of groundnut oil to a priest. Starting from December 1st, 2024, you’ll begin to feel positive changes, and by June 2025, you’ll experience total relief from debts, family, and financial issues. So, dear Cancerians, stay positive, distance yourself from negative, toxic people, and things will improve.

Remedy for best results: For 45 days, visit a Lord Shiva temple every Monday, offer white flowers, and observe a fast. On Mondays, drink only water or milk, and eat only fruits or dry fruits, breaking your fast on Tuesday morning.

Leo: Retrograde Saturn gave you a window to evaluate your relationship status and your position at the workplace. During this period, you likely reconnected with past partners, old friends, and had the chance to reconsider certain projects or past work matters. Now, as Saturn goes direct on November 15th, you’ll start moving forward with confidence, leading to significant positive developments in your marriage, partnerships, and workplace dynamics. If you’ve been involved in a legal case, expect a major breakthrough. Those affected by black magic will also find relief and solutions working in their favor. Overall, Saturn going direct brings positive results for Leo natives—but only if you manage your ego and refrain from hurting father figures or older individuals.

Remedy for enhanced positive results: For 45 days, visit a Kaal Bhairav temple every Sunday. Light a lamp with groundnut oil and offer 5 lemons, 1 coconut, and *mithai* (any Indian sweet) to Lord Kaal Bhairav.

Virgo – The Retrograde Saturn phase has caused significant pain and suffering in your life, including health issues, attacks from secret enemies, and stress due to bad debts and credit problems. However, as Saturn goes direct on November 15th, you will slowly start feeling better. You’ll find effective solutions to your health concerns and begin to feel more relaxed and at peace mentally. Nevertheless, beware of overindulgence in pleasure-seeking activities, as it could undermine the positive results bestowed by Lord Saturn. From December 1st onward, you will begin experiencing positivity in both family and finances. When you have retrograde Saturn in your birth chart, a transiting retrograde Saturn can bring additional challenges and suffering; however, the troubles are now ending, and you’ll soon be smiling your way home. Concerning children, you’ll notice positive developments, and your investments will gain momentum, providing good returns. This is also an excellent time to begin any spiritual sadhana or practice you may be considering.

Remedy for positive results – Start feeding cows with your hands every Friday. Offer soaked sprouts mixed with soaked raw rice to cows each Friday. The blessings of the cows will help you eradicate troubles and negativity from your life.

Libra – The Retrograde Saturn phase has caused much suffering in matters of home, emotions, and challenges concerning children or investments. This period has also affected your mother adversely. However, now that Saturn goes direct, you will find considerable relief in matters of home, emotional well-being, and areas related to children and investments. If you are single, challenges in relationships or difficulties in finding a good partner will ease, and you may experience a breakthrough in your love life. For those trading in the stock markets, the upcoming month, starting from December 1st, is very positive and could bring you significant gains. Focus on regular meditation, as the more you meditate, the more clarity you will gain, which will enable you to make the right decisions in life.

Remedy for positive results: Wear a full white dress on Fridays for 45 days, and visit a Goddess Lakshmi temple to light one earthen lamp with white mustard oil. If you cannot visit a temple, you may perform this ritual in your home temple.

Scorpio – Retrograde Saturn stalled many of your projects and activities. You tend to procrastinate, which has led to missed opportunities and lost fortune. However, now that Saturn turns direct, you will begin to take action. Misunderstandings will start to fade, and your communication skills will improve. Travel plans will also be executed in a timely manner. Decisions related to home or real estate will gain momentum, allowing you to move forward with plans for renovating or redesigning your home or even selling and relocating. Issues concerning your mother will be resolved, enabling you to achieve your dreams connected to your home or real estate. This is a time when you will start feeling emotionally positive, bringing purpose to your life, and soon there will be a big smile on your face – and when you smile, you look beautiful!

Remedy for positive results: For 45 days, visit a nearby river or sea and feed the fish with pieces of dough or fresh wheat bread. The more you feed the fish, the more beneficial it will be for you and your family.

Sagittarius – Retrograde Saturn has caused various financial difficulties, and you may also feel dissatisfied at work. However, this situation will now begin to change for the better. Gradually, your finances will start improving, and you may find new job opportunities that bring much contentment. Businesspeople will start seeing positive results in profit margins, and creative artists will find new work opportunities. It is essential to stay humble and avoid hurting others with offensive comments or actions. Remember, Saturn returns what you give to others. So, be mindful of your thoughts, as thoughts lead to words, words lead to actions, and your actions define your character. Cultivate positive thoughts, and you will attract more blessings from Lord Saturn – Shani Maharaj!

Remedy for positive results: Fast for 45 Thursdays and light a lamp filled with cow’s ghee beneath an Audumbar tree (also known as the Cluster Fig tree) on 45 Thursday evenings.

Capricorn – Retrograde Saturn caused significant stress in managing your finances. Earnings came in, but they quickly disappeared due to rising expenditures. Financial stress also limited your travel plans. However, as Saturn goes direct, starting from December 1st, you will begin to feel the positive effects of Saturn’s direct movement. Gradually, your finances will improve, and you’ll manage expenses more efficiently. Any obstacles related to communication or publication plans will be removed, giving you the momentum to start your new publication or project. Overall, Saturn’s change in direction is excellent news for all my Capricorn followers—stay positive, as even bigger news awaits you: your Sade Sati will end next year in June 2025. So, keep your fingers crossed, as you are on the path to victory, and your enemies will be defeated. However, remember, these positive developments will unfold only if you refrain from hurting others through your actions or words. Be mindful of your thoughts and actions, and you will be rewarded with all the blessings Saturn is bringing your way!

Remedy for positive results: Light a lamp filled with mustard oil beneath a Peepal tree and break a coconut before Lord Hanuman every Saturday for two months.

Aquarius – The Retrograde Saturn period had a strong impact on your mind, and many of you have experienced significant mental suffering during this time. Health issues often arise when the mind is disturbed, as the root of all diseases lies in the state of the mind. This is why the Moon chart is crucial for evaluating both mental and physical health conditions. The second phase of Sade Sati combined with retrograde Saturn was a challenging double dose for you, but now Saturn’s direct movement will bring much-needed relief. Both mental and physical health will gradually improve in the coming days, though the progress may be slow. It is essential to embrace a more spiritual lifestyle by consistently practicing daily meditation and chanting. Obstacles or delays related to foreign travel or settlement will now gradually clear, allowing you to realize your dream of settling abroad. Any losses incurred during the Saturn retrograde period will now be recovered, so stay positive and mindful of your thoughts and actions. If you hurt others, you may not receive the benefits of Saturn’s direct movement—focus on self-growth and avoid causing harm.

Remedy for positive results: Wear a full blue outfit for 45 Saturdays, visit a Lord Hanuman temple on each of those Saturdays, light a lamp with sesame oil beneath a Peepal tree, and walk around the Peepal tree seven times.

Pisces – Pisces – Retrograde Saturn has caused considerable pain in areas of earnings and relationships, with many also facing high medical expenses during this period. However, as Saturn goes direct, you will start feeling much relief in matters related to earnings and relationships. Saturn is a very slow-moving planet, and its results manifest slowly but steadily. Though Saturn goes direct on November 15th, you’ll start experiencing its effects from December 1st onward. If you were feeling stuck with matters connected to foreign lands or visa issues, you will finally get a breakthrough in your efforts for foreign travel. Remember to meditate daily and chant the Ram Mantra – “Shri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram” – as this will protect you from the effects of Rahu’s transit over your Moon sign, Pisces. This period has been particularly challenging for Pisces, with the combined effects of Sade Sati, Retrograde Saturn, and Rahu’s transit, but now you’ll find some relief. Though the battle isn’t over yet, continue to persevere like a brave warrior—remember, a true warrior never gives up until the very last breath.

Remedy for positive results: Fast on Guruvar (Thursdays) from sunrise to sunset, and donate 2 kg of yellow chickpeas, 1 kg of cow’s ghee, and 1 kg of jaggery powder to a temple priest. Perform this remedy each Thursday for six months, and you will feel much better.

Overall – the transition of Retrograde Saturn to Direct Saturn is indeed a good news for many good hearted fellows on this planet. Human life is full of sufferings – no matter whether you have lots of money or you are a total bankrupt person – suffering is always there. While money can address your basic needs of life but money certainly cannot buy happiness, money certainly cannot buy love, cannot buy the bliss, the joy within. And so balancing your life is necessary – you need to work for your daily needs but don’t do too much because Too much is the only sin says Lao Tzu. Balancing your life is the message. Don’t be too materialistic and don’t be too spiritual. You need to remember that you are still not a monk – you have still not been initiated into monkhood. And so you need to keep working efficiently to address your basic needs as well as you need to spend time on your self growth journey by being consistent in your meditation and chanting. There is absolutely no need for renunciation. Only fools and fake people renounce – the real warriors never renounce – they can fight their daily battles and as well as also worship the Holy Lord with deep faith and love and in the end only such warriors progress on their spiritual path. Since today is my birthday – how can I leave you all without telling you a beautiful story – and so the story is about a dervish – a wandering mystic. The story is told of a dervish who went to visit a great Sufi master. Seeing his affluence, the dervish thought to himself, “How can Sufism and such prosperity go hand in hand?” After staying a few days with the master, he decided to leave. The master said, “Let me accompany you on your journey!”
After they had gone a short distance, the dervish noticed that he had forgotten his KASHKUL, the begging-bowl. So he asked the master for permission to return and get it.
The master replied, “I departed from all my possessions, but you can’t even leave behind your begging-bowl. Thus, we must part company from here.”

The Sufi is not attached to wealth or poverty; he is simply not attached to anything. And when you are not attached to anything, you need not renounce. Renunciation is the other side of attachment. Those who understand the foolishness of attachment don’t renounce. They live in the world, yet they are not of the world. Be just like this Sufi—be in this world, do your daily duties, do not run away from your responsibilities, and at the same time, stay focused on your spiritual path. When you are able to do this, that is when you truly mature into a beautiful flower—and then there is no looking back. Then you become a dance, a beautiful painting, a lovely poem. This is the way of its happening—this is how it happens—this is how Lahiri Mahasaya, the great Guru, lived; this is how great saints lived. Saint Tukaram, Saint Eknath—they all were married, they also had children, but they never renounced. They continued to fight their daily battles while staying focused on their spiritual path.

Enough for now—today is my birthday, and it is time for me to go back to my master, because without him I would have been dead by now. And no matter how much my enemies try to kill me, I will remain alive until the master says, “It’s time.“

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Breakups: Planet Behind Pain

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Venus is a dealer. Moon is a caretaker. When both come together – there is a mismatch! Venus cannot understand the illogical way of moon and moon cannot understand the logical way of Venus. For marriage or a successful relationship – along with Venus – Mercury is also very important. Sex, love, sexual activity – is all based on how you process your thoughts – and this processing of thoughts comes under the domain of Mercury. That is why in many cases – even though Venus is positive – still the person continues to fail in his or her relationship due to the poor placement of Mercury or afflicted Mercury.

Today – as we all celebrate the beautiful day of Valentine – it is necessary to understand that the success of your relationship comes down to Mercury and its overall condition in your birth chart.

I will not hesitate to state that even though your Venus is debilitated and placed in Virgo – still if Mercury is placed in Virgo or Gemini or is placed in the 7th house with positive aspects from Jupiter – then you will succeed in your relationship or marriage.

On this Valentine – I want to specifically reveal this secret of successful relationship to my close followers – and the secret is now open – the key planet for a successful marriage or relationship is the princely planet – Prince Mercury!

The woman may have exceptional beauty, she may be entertaining, she may be intelligent, she may have unique artistic talent but if she is not have a certain depth of understanding then she cannot sustain her relationship for long. The same is applicable to man. It is based on the overall placement of Mercury that you level of understanding is seen. Buddha says – True love is born from understanding. Buddha further says – When you understand everything – you forgive everything! The success of every relationship that happens on this planet is based on the level of understanding. When both – the man and woman has good level of understanding – they will continue to walk hand in hand through the many high and lows of life. And this deep level understanding comes only from the grace of Mercury and Jupiter.

Venus is all about looks, artistic talent, love-making, kissing, fashion designing or all kinds of designing, glamor. However this is not enough for a relationship to blossom and deepen. You also need “Vivek Buddhi” – “Vivek Buddhi” means reasoning through constructive positive set of mind. Otherwise you all have read news wherein the man and women fall in love – run away and get married and then one day the man kills the woman and cuts her into pieces – is this love? This happens because of “irrational mind” – and such an irrational mind – cruel mind is due to poor placement of moon and mercury in the chart. Moon is the Master of Mercury. And when Moon – that is when Mind is corrupted – it gives all kinds of wrong – self-destructive orders to the brain which is Mercury. Mercury is responsible for the processing of thoughts or command that happens through the brain. And so just having a strong Venus is not enough – you need to have a good placement of Mercury and Moon – with positive aspects from Jupiter or Venus or Sun – to succeed in a relationship.

Yesterday – a young man came and said “I have fallen in love” – I asked “When did it happen – because till yesterday you were alright.” He said “That’s right – but today while travelling – I saw a beautiful girl.” – I asked “Where did you see her?” He said – at the traffic signal. She was on her bike – and I couldn’t help myself – I fell in love.” – This is how it happens – this young man kept his Mercury aside and has now fallen in love. Now he will start with his efforts – one day he may even succeed – but such a love is short-lived – there is no connection of the soul – the understanding of each other is missing – there has been no dialog – this is infatuation and not love. Just boom boom for few days and then the heat is gone – then again you are wandering in the cold winters of your life.

So on this Valentine – it is necessary to remind yourself that to succeed in a relationship – you need to first become friends. If you remain lovers then love can evaporate after a few days of honeymoon. Real love is known only after the honeymoon. When excitement ends – intimacy grows! In the beginning of a relationship – you are excited – something is going to happen. And when you remain in this relationship for a long period – things settles – then you truly become one with your partner – then you don’t need any excitement – you understand her very well and this understanding becomes the foundation of your relationship! The same is applicable to the Master and the disciple. In the beginning – you come across my podcast – you are excited – this man is saying something new – this man is sharing something unique – the excitement is there – then slowly slowly as you remain with me for a longer period – the excitement is gone – you become more aligned with the essence of my whole being – my sharings – and before you could realize – you have already fallen in love with my sharings! And that is why I say – Real Love happens only when the excitement of honeymoon is over! So whosoever has been with me for a longer time through this channel – they have truly aligned with me – naturally they have melted in my being without known when and how it all happened – that’s love – that’s Valentine!

And so to experience a happy Valentine – it is necessary that along with your looks, your body shape, your artistic talent – you also focus on raising the level of your understanding. A beautiful woman with absolute no depth of understanding is like a bottle of poison whose label says “Its pure nectar”! And a not so beautiful woman with much depth of understanding is a bottle of nectar whose label says “Take with Caution”. This is how the mad mad world is – because you see through your mind and not with your eyes! Discrimination happens because of this – because the mind always loves to discriminate based on caste, color, religion and what not. Love is impossible as long as you continue to see through your mind. Once it happened – there was one such man – he was not beautiful – he was not handsome – he looked ugly – nobody had ever called him “Beautiful”. His name was VINCENT VAN GOGH. And the story is such that His whole life van Gogh was just giving his paintings to friends: to the hotel where he used to eat four days a week he would present a painting, or to a prostitute who had said once to him that he was not a beautiful man. To be absolutely factual, he was ugly. No woman ever fell in love with him, it was impossible.

This prostitute out of compassion — and sometimes prostitutes have more compassion than your so-called ladies, they understand men more — just out of compassion she said, “I like you very much.” He had never heard this. Love was a far away thing. Even liking….

He said, “Really, you like me? What do you like in me?” Now, the woman was at a loss.

She said, “I like your ears. Your ears are beautiful.” And you will be surprised that van Gogh went home, cut off his ears with a razor, packed them beautifully, went to the prostitute and gave his ears to her. And blood was flowing….

She said, “What have you done?”

He said, “Nobody ever liked anything in me. And I am a poor man, how can I thank you? You liked my ears; I have presented them to you. If you had liked my eyes, I would have presented my eyes to you If you had liked me, I would have died for you.”

The prostitute could not believe it. But for the first time, van Gogh was happy, smiling; somebody had liked at least a part of him.

Love is happy when it is able to give something. Ego is happy when it is able to take something. Vincent became a legendary painter – he became world famous for his paintings but after his death. When he was alive – there was nobody who would have appreciated his beauty – and so when the prostitute said casually – even though she didn’t mean what she said – even then – those words – “I like your ears. Your ears are beautiful.” touched his heart – and he presented his ears to her as a gift! How deep is this man – how to express his depth of being – but this is how a man of love is – no doubt he became the greatest painter that the world had ever known – when you have so much of love – so much of depth of being – it is natural that you are exceptional – you are beautiful.

Enough for now – wishing each one of you a very happy Valentine day – deepen your level of understanding and you will be able to save your relationship – you will succeed in your relationship because as the Buddha says – True love is born from understanding – when you understand everything – you forgive everything.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Ketu in Shravan

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

The law of gravity would not have been discovered without the power of Ketu in Shravan! Sir Issac Newton was the man who discovered the law of gravity. Newton was sitting under an apple tree and then one apple fell down. Because of this he started thinking, and he felt something is pulling the apple downwards. And that is when he discovered the law of gravity. Sharp observation is one beautiful trait of Ketu in Shravan Nakshatra. Sir Isaac Newton had Ketu in Shravan Nakshatra. India would have never succeeded in testing the atom bomb twice if Abdul Kalam would not have been there.

He is known for his insightful quotes and poems and he was a man of literature. Abdul Kalam also had Ketu in Shravan Nakshatra. The world of music is incomplete without the mention of Mozart.

The influence of Ketu in Shravan Nakshatra is evident in Mozart’s unrivaled ability to listen intently, extracting inspiration from the world around him. His compositions continue to mesmerize and inspire generations, showcasing the power of Ketu’s association with Shravan Nakshatra.

Whatever Ketu touches becomes gold. But that gold is only seen by those who has a certain depth of understanding. Ketu in Shravan brings great transformation but this transformation happens after the age of 36. And it is only through the divine intervention that transformation happens in such a native’s life. Reminds of Balmik. There is a Hindu story in India… The oldest book on the life of Rama is written by Balmik. Balmik was a robber, thief, murderer — everything that you can conceive of he had done. That was his only profession. Uneducated but a tremendously powerful man, just on the highway he would be waiting for people, and anybody who was caught had to give everything; otherwise he was finished. Balmik’s family was living in luxury — he was bringing so much every day.

One day it happened that one beautiful saint, Narada, who was always carrying his ektara — a simple musical instrument, with only one string, that had become his symbol — singing and playing on his ektara he was passing, and Balmik caught hold of him. But he was still singing and playing on his ektara.

Balmik said, “Are you mad or something? Can’t you see me, can’t you see my sword? Give me everything that you have!”

Narada said, “You have caught a beggar; I have only this ektara. And that too I am not going to give easily, because what will you do with this? But if you want it, I can give it to you. If you want my life I can give that too. But before I give you anything, I want to ask one question to you.”

Balmik said, “Question? What question?”

Narada said, “You go home, ask your wife: you have been killing people, robbing people — is she ready to share the responsibility of it. Ask your father, your mother, your son, your daughter. Are they willing to share the responsibility of what you are doing?”

Balmik had never thought about such a thing; he was an uneducated man. He said, “I have never thought about it. They must share the responsibility. I am doing it for them.”

Narada said, “I will be here. Don’t be worried, you can just tie me to the tree so I cannot escape.” He was tied to the tree and Balmik rushed to his home and asked his wife. His wife said, “I have nothing to do with your responsibilities. It is your responsibility to feed your wife; how you do it I have no concern for.” And the same was the response of everybody.

Even the mother said, “It is your responsibility to take care of your old father and mother. Now how you are doing it — that you have to work out. We have not told you to kill people and rob people; you are doing it on your own. We are simply not responsible for any of your acts.”

Not a single man in his house was ready to share responsibility. He was shocked! He went back, untied Narada, touched his feet and said, “I have been my whole life a wrong person. Is there any possibility for me to get rid of all that I have done?”

Narada said, “There is no problem. You stop doing it, because the people you are doing it for are not even ready to take responsibility for it! And I will teach you my song. My song is very simple; I simply repeat the name of Rama. It is so simple, no education is needed. You sit under the tree and repeat, `Rama, Rama…’ as long as you can, and you will be transformed — because intrinsically your innermost core always remains pure. It is only the layers on it which can be dropped.”

After a few months Narda came back and he was surprised: Balmik was sitting there under the tree. Narda had been his whole life repeating the name of Rama, the Hindu God, but nothing like this had happened to him. Balmik was surrounded by an aura of light. Just going close to him you felt a tremendous silence, a great rejoicing. And it is said that it is this Balmik who later came to be known as Saint Valmiki. Saint Valmiki scripted the greatest scripture of all times – the Valmiki Ramayana. Ramayana is the life story of Lord Rama but the story of his life is so magical that by the end of it – you become so full of devotion and love that there is no word that can describe the divine juice, the divine love it leads you to! A ruthless dry person Balmik – transformed into a great Saint and wrote the most divine book filled with so much of love and deep insights that you can now understand the great transformation Ketu in Shravan can bring in ones life.

Always remember every Saint has a Past and every Sinner has a future. And so never condemn a sinner because if he gets a fair chance and proper guidance – then he too can transform into a great Saint.

Enough for now.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Best Brand and Color Astrologically

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Choice matters.

Life at every moment gives you a CHOICE. And you are always free to make a CHOICE – but you are not free from the consequences of the CHOICES that you make in your life.

“Man faces much greater choices because his consciousness is much more evolved. All choices are open to man. The more conscious man becomes, the more his choices will lead him towards happiness; the more unconscious he is, the closer he will move toward misery.”
-Osho

I appreciate your question – it has come naturally to you and what comes naturally is ‘intelligence’.

CAR and HOME – for every person – as long as he or she lives in this material world – these two entities matters a lot. Movement (Car/Bike) and SHELTER (HOME) forms the major part of human life.

In fact – HOME cannot be sold – and it should not be sold – as it provides stability.

But CAR is something that you need to RESELL after few years – and there is a lot of significance to this – NEVER continue to use a CAR for more than 5 years. After 5 years – you should upgrade your CAR – upgrading your vehicle positively impacts VENUS in your birth chart.

In India – as far as I know – the following Car Brands do well in the Indian market:

  1. MARUTI SUZUKI
  2. Hyundai
  3. Honda
  4. Renault
  5. Volkswagen
  6. Tata
  7. Mahindra
  8. Mercedes
  9. KIA
  10. NISSAN
  11. TOYOTA

The answer to your question is found in the NAKSHATRAS.

Each BRAND NAME begins with a specific LETTER –

For Example – MARUTI SUZUKI begins with MA. In Hindi it sounds – मा

मा letter or Akshar comes under the influence of MAGHA NAKSHTRA. MAGHA NAKSHTRA is ruled by KETU.

When a child is born in a HINDU family – his or her NAME is decided based on the MOON SIGN or NAKSHATRA. Precisely the NAME of the child should be based on the NAKSHATRA LEVEL – as that is more accurate and effective than RASHI or Zodiac Sign.

Vedic Astrology guides and helps you to select the appropriate LETTER for naming your CHILD – this in itself shows the SIGNIFICANCE of LETTER as per the NAKSHATRA.

Now for the benefit of my followers and readers – let us see WHICH NAKSHATRA rules the CAR BRANDS in INDIA:

  1. MARUTI SUZUKI मा – MAGHA (Ruler – KETU)
  2. Hyundai – ह्यु – PUSHYA (Ruler – SATURN)
  3. Honda – हो – PUSHYA (Ruler – SATURN)
  4. Renault – रे – SWATI (Ruler – RAHU)
  5. Volkswagen – वो – MRIG (Ruler – MARS)
  6. Tata – टा – PURVA PHALGUNI (Ruler – VENUS)
  7. Mahindra – मा – MAGHA (Ruler – KETU)
  8. Mercedes – MAGHA (Ruler – KETU)
  9. KIA – कि- MRIG (Ruler – MARS)
  10. NISSAN – नि – ANURADHA (Ruler – SATURN)
  11. TOYOTA – टो – UTTARA PHALGUNI Ruler – SUN)

Interestingly – the leading number one CAR BRAND – MARUTI is ruled by MAGHA NAKSHATRA. So you see – MAGHA brings your ahead of all – it is the ROYAL THRONE – you cannot remain behind – you will always remain at the TOP. MARUTI always remains at the TOP – when it comes to Indian Car Industry.

The world famous MERCEDES BRAND also is connected to MAGHA Nakshatra (REGULUS STAR) – the ROYAL THRONE.

MAGHA NAKSHATRA is directly connected to ROYAL lifestyle. It is called REGULUS STAR in Western Astrology – it is the BRIGHTEST STAR in our Galaxy. So basically – they STAND OUT. MARUTI stands out in the Indian Market. Mercedes stand out in the Global Market. MAGHA always stand out – but the QUESTION that you should ask before Buying a MARUTI BRAND CARD or MERCEDES BRAND CAR is – WHETHER KETU is beneficial for you? Whether KETU is placed positively in your Rashi/Ascendant Birth Chart? And this is very significant before you make the final CHOICE.

When making a choice – first ask yourself “Which brands you want to shortlist – after taking test drive of all available brands in the budget that you want to buy? That way the ASTROLOGICAL evaluation becomes easier and faster than otherwise.

A few days ago Mohan also had asked the same question. I had asked him to select any four brands of his choice and then come to me – for a making the final choice.

After 6 days Mohan came. He said “I have taken test drive and selected the following Brands – now you please tell me which BRAND I should opt for.”

Mohan had selected the following 5 CAR BRAND options to choose from:

  1. Renault
  2. Maruti
  3. Hyundai
  4. Ford
  5. Volkswagen

I said “ Mohan, open your Birth Chart and now get ready to answer my questions and be quick because I have to go for my evening walk.”

Mohan was happy because he knows that I very rarely entertain people and so he quickly said “ Yes I am ready.”

Looking at the 5 options I asked “ Mohan – Where is your RAHU?”

Mohan said “ 12th house”

I said “ Cross out the Renualt Brand”

Mohan made a cross on Renault.

My next question was “ Mohan – Where is your KETU?”

Mohan said “ 6th house”

I said “ Cross out Maruti Brand.”

Mohan made a cross on Maruti.

My next question – “Mohan – Where is your Saturn?”

Mohan said “8th house”

I said “ Drop the Hyundai Brand – it adds no luck to your fate.”

Mohan made a cross on Hyundai.

I asked “ Mohan – Where is your Venus?”

This time Mohan smiled. He said “ My Venus is in the 5th house in Pieces Zodiac.”

I said “ Underline the FORD brand.”

My last question was “ Mohan – Where is your MARS?”

Mohan said “Mars is in the 3rd house – in Capricorn Zodiac.”

I said “ Underline the Volkswagen Brand.”

Looking at me – Mohan said “ You have helped me to select the best TWO CAR BRANDS that are suitable for me from Astrological perspective – but now from these TWO – which one to select – which is going to be the best of these two?”

I said “ The answer is simple.”

Mohan asked “ What is it?”

I said “ Volkswagen.”

“How did you arrive at this” – Mohan asked

I said “ Mohan – your Ascendant is Scorpio and your Ascendant lord is Mars and your Mars is Exalted in Capricorn – placed in the 3rd house – so instead of Venus – Mars is more active and the BRAND letter Volkswagen represents MARS – so now call the dealer and book your brand new Volkswagen and now let me go – you have already taken a lot of my time.”

Once you get the RIGHT CHOICE of BRAND – the model can be anything that suits your budget and taste. What is important is selecting the Right Brand that brings the RIGHT DIRECTION and PROGRESS in your life.

People are shallow – so they generally don’t go so deep in understanding what BRAND suits them astrologically – but BRANDS matter – and they really do!

But who wants to listen? People buy anything under the sky and they never know what is the cause of their miseries.

BRANDS. COLORS – matter. Now your next question is about COLOR – which color you should select for your CAR.

Let me tell you and through your question – to all my followers and readers that the COLOR WHITE represents VENUS.

And VENUS represents VEHICLE (Car/Bike).

And so the SAFE COLOR for any CAR is WHITE. If you don’t know anything about ASTROLOGY and you have to choose a color for your CAR – then WHITE is the most SAFEST color to CHOOSE.

But if you are keen to get a COLOR as per ASTROLOGY – then you have to dive deep into VENUS. Meaning – you have to see in WHICH NAKSHATRA – your natal VENUS is placed.

Yesterday a young man asked “ Can I buy a Grey color Car?”

GREY is the color of the RAHU. And his RAHU was placed in the 8th house.

He showed me his Birth Chart. I observed his Venus – it was placed in Mrig Nakshatra. I said “ Settle for any color that comes closer to Red or Maroon shades.”

You have to observe the NAKSHATRA LORD of VENUS. The color shade that the NAKSHATRA LORD represents – should be your FIRST CHOICE of COLOR.

So the common choice or the safest choice is always WHITE COLOR – and you all see so many WHITE COLOR CARS – because VENUS represents WHITE!

And if you want a peculiar shade than go deep into the VENUS NAKSHATRA and according to the Lord of the Venus Nakshatra make the color choice for your brand new car.

More to come on this – but for today, enough.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
