Shree Mukundamala
Garland of Hymns to Lord Vishnu
Divine love (bhakti) transforms our ordinary life into an inner pilgrimage, leading to an
ecstatic union with the Lord. King Kulasekhara, one of the twelve Vaishnavaite Alvars,
was a bhakti theologian and devotional poet from medieval South India. He threw
off the reigns of Kingdom, immersed in his Bhakti towards Lord Vishnu. His devotion
was so intense, that he worshipped the devotees also as forms of Lord Vishnu. He used to
get into the state of divine ecstasy often, and he recorded his spiritual visions and deep realizations in devotional
songs. He is said to have composed the Mukundamala stothra, when he was sitting in the place of
Kulasekhara Alvar mandap, inside Sri Ananta Padmanabhaswamy temple, Trivandrum, Kerala.
The poem asks Mukunda (another name for Lord Krishna) to give the unworthy soul freedom from Samsara.
It describes the misery of the soul, trapped in this world, and exhorts that Lord Krishna is the only means of
Salvation. Composed in elegant Sanskrit, Mukundamala is a simple expression of Kulasekhara
Alvar’s devotion to Lord Krishna and his eagerness to share his divine experiences. It does not
contain much abstruse philosophical conundrums. Devotees generally start reciting Mukundamala, after
saluting Kulasekhara Alvar, in gratitude for his guiding Mukundamala stothra.

Credit Suisse Group AG is one of the eight global “Bulge Bracket” (gigantic) investment
banks and financial services firm, founded in 1856, and is based in Switzerland with Headquarters in
Zurich. It maintains offices in all major financial centres around the world and is one of the very large
global banks providing services in investment banking, private banking, asset management and shared
services. It is known for strict bank-client confidentiality and banking secrecy. The bank was also at the
centre of multiple international investigations for Tax avoidance, which culminated in a guilty plea and the
forfeiture of US$2.6 billion in fines from 2008 to 2012. It reported a loss of $7.3 billion in 2022 - its
worst year since the financial crisis of 2008. The Saudi National Bank holds 10 % share, Qatar Investment
Authority (QIA) and BlackRock about 5% each. On 15 March 2023, Credit Suisse’ share price dropped
nearly 25%, after Saudi National Bank, its largest investor,said it could not provide more financial
assistance. The market price of the Bank’s unsecured bonds set for maturity in 2027 dropped to as low
as one—third of their value on that day, down from being valued at 90% of value at the beginning of
the month. In this context, it is mentioned that soon after the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and two
more US banks in the second week of March this year, Robert Kiyosaki who had predicted the collapse
of Lehman Bros in 2008 , remarked that Credit Suisse would be the next to crash. (Author of 26
books, Kiyosaki is the founder of Rich Global LLC and the Rich Dad Company, a private financial
education company that that provides personal finance and business education to people through
books and videos). In the same week, the Bank sought to shore up its finances, by taking a loan of 50
billion Swiss francs from the Swiss National Bank Bank. However, this intervention did not stop investors
and customers from pulling their money out of the Bank, with daily withdrawals as high as of 10 billion
Swiss francs. The situation became so critical that the Swiss National Bank and the Swiss Govt started
discussions to fast-track the Bank’s acquisition by UBS Group AG, Credit Suisse ‘s rival company
founded and based in Switzerland.
UBS Group AB is a multi-national investment bank and financial services company founded and based
in Switzerland , with Headquarters within 300 metres of Credit Suisse !. Before 1988, UBS was
known as Union Bank of Switzerland. However, following decades of market competition between
Union Bank of Switzerland and the Swiss Bank Corporation, the two merged in 1998, to create a single
entity known as UBS Group, AB. It maintains presence in all major financial centres as the largest
Swiss banking institution and the largest private bank in the world. UBS client services are also known
for their strict bank–client confidentiality and culture of banking secrecy. Because of the bank’s positions
in the America, EMEA (Europe Middle East and Africa ) and Asia Pacific markets ,the Financial
Stability Board considers it a very important bank. As of May 2022, UBS is the third largest bank in
Europe with a market capitalization of $63 billion. It is also one of the eight global “Bulge
Bracket”(gigantic) banks and has $ 3.5 trillion in assets under management and made a profit
of $7.6 billion in 2022. On 19 March 2023, UBS AG agreed to take over Credit Suisse for $ 3.25
billion (a small fraction of its worth) in a Swiss government brokered deal to pull back Credit Suisse
from the brink. The Swiss National Bank supported the deal, by providing more than US$104 billion
in liquidity to UBS, following its takeover of Credit Suisse’s operations, while the Swiss government
provided a guarantee to UBS to cover losses of up to US$9.6 billion over the short term.

As far as my limited knowledge goes, no text-book gives a clear and vivid explanation as to why planets get
exalted in certain rasis (Zodiac Signs) and in certain asterisms (Lunar Mansions/ Nakshatras). But many
astrologers use these phrases, while giving predictions to their clients. I found that planets, even benefic like
Jupiter, gets exalted in malefic asterisms. For example, Jupiter (a benefic) gets exalted in Karkataka (Cancer)
at Pushya (I) (Saturn’s star) and Sun (a malefic) gets exalted in Mesha (Aries) in the star Aswini (III) (a star
of Ketu). Some astrologers even suggest their customers to worship Sri Rama’s Birth Chart, in which most
of the planets are exalted or occupied their own houses. They believe that this will help their customers to
overcome the hurdles in life, caused by ill placement of even benefic planets. Forgetting the fact that Sri
Rama is the incarnation of Lakshminarayan, they think that what applies to Him will also apply to ordinary
human beings like us! Further, in the actual sense, Ucchcha (exaltation) refers to the highest spiritual plane
(Unified Consciousness that one can achieve in one’s life) and Neecha signifies the Worldly/physical material
plane (Dream Consciousness), according to the seers of Indian astrologers. We may find people with
Uchcha grahas suffer in this physical world, where as people with Neecha grahas in their horoscopes
prosper in this material world without regard to spiritual life. Uchch or Neecha graha should alone
be in a rasi. The conjunction of any other planet will spoil the good effects of Uchcha Graha.
The following Table gives the exaltation position of planets. Diagonally opposite the exaltation rasi
(180 deg. apart) is the planet’s debilitation point.

Hari Hara Brahma Yoga is also called Trimurthy Yoga. The three principal deities in the Hindu religion are
Brahma, Vishnu (Hari) and Shiva (Hara). They correspond to God’s function of creation, sustenance and
destruction. These three activities in Astrology are explained by Lagna representing birth or creation of the
individual, 2nd representing wealth which is very essential for protection or preservation, while the seventh
being the house of maraka or destruction.
Jataka Parijata Ch.7 Sl.162 states that this yoga is produced, when benefic planets are in the 2nd,
12th and 8th bhavas, with respect to the lord of the 2nd bhava. A second type of yoga exists, when
Jupiter, the Moon and Mercury are in the 4th, 9th and the 8th bhavas, with reference to the lord of
the 7th bhava. The 3rd type of yoga is present, when the Sun, Venus and Mars occupy the 4th, the
10th and the 11th from the lord of Lagna.
According to BPHS Ch. 36. Sl. 35–36. Counted from the 2nd lord, if benefic planets occupy the 2nd ,

Ms.Zuraini said that seven types of leaves are used in the space- cleansing ritual, before a house is constructed,
and then a dweller moves into the property. She said that although the Malay version did not follow Compass
Directions, house construction is focused on the environment.

the sleep on, just like Vasthu Sastra, which says that the Southwest should be higher and is meant for the Master
of the house and the North-east should be lower and is meant for children. Ms.Zuraini also said that houses must
not be built facing a mountain, as it is regarded as an obstacle to the growth and well- being of the dweller.
