Right Toe Print of Lord Shiva By Hemamalini Raghunathan


Achaleshwar Mahadev Temple, Mount Abu, Rajasthan
The mountain here is said to be hinged on, due to the Toe of Lord Shiva. When the Toe will
disappear, on that day, the mountain will be destroyed. There is a natural Crater, under the
Toe print of the Lord. Some also believe that this is the Centre of the Earth.
Local legends say that this Nandi and hidden

various deities such as Parvathi, Chamunda.

vishnu bhakti

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.

Get rid of Addiction


By Tapasyah Iyer
Kaleshwar Mudra
Nowadays, I get calls from parents, teenagers and from all walks of life, irrespective of their social strata,
mostly related to one single topic. How to make myself free from the clutch of the enormous addiction of
watching. Online sensuous contents, so very freely and easily avilable. They ask me, if there is any quick and
easy way to help their children. This is something which has to be checked, in the bud itself, or else, one may
drown deep, very deep, pathetically. Additions are of different types (drugs, alcohol, excessive surfing social
media etc).
Addiction (meaning from Websters Dictionary): a strong inclination to do, use, or indulge in something
repeatedly, a compulsive, chronic, physiological or psychological need for a habit-forming substance, behaviour,
or activity having harmful physical, psychological, or social effects and typically causing well-defined symptoms
(such as anxiety, irritability, tremors, or nausea) upon withdrawal or abstinence : the state of being addicted.

Southwest Monsoon 2023 in India By Sachin Malhotra

National Weather Service in USA has forecasted the return of El Nino in the Summer of this year. The El
Nino (little boy in Spanish) is a weather pattern in Pacific Ocean, which bring warmer Ocean water in
Pacific, which results in reversing the moisture-laden winds, towards the coast of Peru from the Western
Pacific (Southeast Asia). Thus, during El Nino years, there is heavy rains in Peru and South American
region, robbing the Indian sub-continent of its Normal Monsoon rains. The last El Nino event was in the
year 2018, which coincided with below-normal rainfall for India.

ocean in the Eastern Pacific was colder than normal, which brought more than normal rains in India. Now

SEEK SOLUTIONS FROM GOD!


An atheist barber was once cutting a man’s hair and said. “I do not believe in existence
of God”.
The believer asked “why not”
The barber said “there’s so much misery and chaos in the world. If God existed, this
mess would not exist”
The believer said “I also do not believe in barbers”.
The barber asked confused “What do you mean?”
The believer said to the barber “Do you see those men outside with long hair?”
The barber said “Yes”
The believer said “If barbers existed, people with long and messy hair would not exist
anymore”.
The barber said, “We exist, but people do not come to us”.
The believer replied. “Exactly, God also exists, but people do not turn to God for Guidance;
that’s why there are so many problems in the world”.

Rescue of Credit Suisse Bank By O D Mande

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.

Exaltation and Debilitation of Planets


By Dr. T. R. S. Raghavan

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.
Planets Rasi Nakshatra longitude Nakshatra Lord

Pluto, the Planet of Transformation By B.S.Padmenabhan
Pluto in Second House
Pluto is one of the Outer planets. It was discovered in February 1930 by Clyde W. Tombaugh. It has come
relatively recent to our understanding of the Solar system . Many astrologers say that the dwarf Pluto gives
understanding of realms of human consciousness and experiences. Pluto relates to process of transformation
that comes from becoming conscious of that, which was unconscious. Many people experience difficulty
with the outer planets, with its presence either in their natal chart or during its transit. Those interested in
maintaining stability and status quo, the outer planets are nothing, but outer planets such Uranus, Neptune
and Pluto would support for spiritual growth and the soul’s evolution. Uranus brings the unexpected into life.
Neptune provides the urge for transcendence and gives spiritual vision. Pluto gives the power to soul’s
evolution.
Pluto is the farthest planet, away from Sun. It is slow-moving , and gives lasting impression on our lives.
Scorpio is considered to be its own sign.. Pluto takes one round of Zodiac in 248 Years and stays in Retrogression
for nearly 175 days. Moreover, it is malefic in nature and has special role over deep secrets. Presently,
transit of Pluto is in Capricorn sign, since 2020, According to Sage Varahamihira, Capricorn is India’s Country

Do your part with dedication, and Miracles will happen automatically!


According to an old Native American legend, one day, there was a big fire in the forest. All the animals fled in terror
in all directions, because it was a very violent fire.
Suddenly, the Jaguar saw a Hummingbird pass over his head, but in the opposite direction. The Hummingbird
flew towards the fire!
Whatever happened, he wouldn’t stop. Moments later, the Jaguar saw him pass again, this time in the same
direction as the Jaguar was walking.
He could observe this coming and going, until he decided to ask the bird about it, because it seemed very bizarre
behavior.
“What are you doing, Hummingbird?” he asked.
“I am going to the lake,” he answered, “I drink water with my beak and throw it on the fire to extinguish it.”
The Jaguar laughed. ‘Are you crazy? Do you really think that you can put out that big fire on your own with your very
small beak?’
‘No,’ said the Hummingbird, ‘I know I can’t. But the forest is my home. It feeds me, it shelters me and my family. I am
very grateful for that. And I help the forest grow by pollinating its flowers. I am part of her and the forest is part of me.
I know I can’t put out the fire, but I must do my part.’
At that moment, the forest spirits, who listened to the Hummingbird, were moved by the birdie and its devotion to the
forest. And miraculously, they sent a torrential downpour, which put an end to the great fire.
The Native American grandmothers would occasionally tell this story to their grandchildren, then conclude with.
“Do you want to attract miracles into your life? Do your part.”
“You have no responsibility to save the world or find the solutions to all problems, but to attend to your particular
personal corner of the universe. As each person does that, the world saves itself.’”
May we all do our part with grace and gratitude.

How Vimsottari Dasa Plays an Important Role In Prediction
Dasa Results for Capricorn Lagna Natives By Dr. S. Shantha
Capricorn sign is the 4th Cardinal, Earthy sign, which is the 10th house for Natural Zodiac chart, ruled by
Saturn, a slow-moving planet. Capricorn-rising natives are smart, ambitious, and determined. They are driven
by the desire for wealth, power, prestige, and independence. They will go to any length to achieve their goals,
even if it is uncomfortable. They can face any challenge with patience and hard work. They have materialistic
approach, rather than philosophical. On the plus side, Capricorns are said to be tenacious and pragmatic at
the same time, they are sticklers for the rules, and ferocious when upset. They are very conniving in money
matters. They may think “what if”, before venturing into anything.
Venus is Yoga-karaka for this lagna. Mercury is benefic. Saturn and Moon become benefic planets to this
sign. Mars and Jupiter are malefic planets to Capricorn lagna. The Sun and the Moon will give good results in
their dasa-bhukthi period, even if they own the 8th house in a chart (Ch. XX, Sl.41 of Phaladeepika). For

Delay in Child Birth By Kaavassery S Naaraayanan

Only females are privileged to attain the much-adored status of motherhood, that is essential to enjoy safety
and security in life. Barrenness is often looked down upon.
In Srimad Bhagavatha Mahapurana, in Maahaathmya Skanda, Chapter 4, sloka 29, there is a lament by a
brahmana to a sage thus :

“Dhigjiivitham prahaahiinam, dhigr^ham cha prajaam vinaa, dhigdhanam chaanapathyasya,


dhikkulam santhathim vinaa…”
“…..Worthless is life without an issue; Worthless is home without an issue; Worthless is wealth, without an
issue. Worthless is race without an issue…”
The present day society too attaches a stigma to barrenness, and considers childlessness to a couple, a
shame on the family. Some interpret absence of a ‘male/boy child’ even as a ‘sin’ professing that only a male
child is capable of lifting their ancestral souls out of the ‘Naraka’(hell), and to back it up go on to quote:
“Pum naama narakaath thraayathe ithi puthrah”
In astrology, it is the 5th bhava, which is connected to progeny and a reading on this is called for, to know
promise or otherwise on this matter.

Hari Hara Brahma Yoga By Dr.S.Shantha

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 ,
12th and 8th, the Hari Yoga is formed. Benefic planets in 4th, 9th and 8th counted from 7th lord forms the
Hara Yoga. Brahma yoga is generated, if benefic planets occupy the 4th, 10th and 11th signs, counted from
Lagna lord. One born in any of these 3 yogas is happy, learned and endowed with wealth and sons.

Your Personal Problems Solved By Hemamalini Raghunathan

Ms. Sarita Taneja


Q: I am suffering from various health
problems.
A: Your 6 th lord Mars signifying health is
occupying the ascendant i.e. 8 th from 6 th
house, which is not conducive to good
health prospects. 6 th lord is also conjunct
with maraka Jupiter (2 nd lord), and 8 th lord
Mercury (high-rated functional malefic).
This Mars is also bereft of any beneficial
influence. In Navamsa also, ascendant and
6 th lord Mars are conjunct with great malefic 8 th lord Mercury. Currently you have been
undergoing the 8 th lord’s dasa Mercury from 2015, lasting upto 2031. The present Moon
bhukti is that of 9 th lord, which will be less severe. Jupiter moving to Aries in April 2023
will bring more cheer. Pray to Goddess Durga during Rahu Kalam on Tuesdays and Fridays.

Mr. Raj Kumar, Chennai.


Q: We are looking for marriage proposals for the native. How are his marital prospects?
A: The native’s 7 th lord Mercury is unfavourably posited in the 6 th, with 6 th lord; but it is also
conjunct with 9 th lord Sun, a saving grace. This assembly of planets is aspected by the benefic
planet Jupiter, the lord of ascendant and 4 th house. Maraka Saturn also aspects the 7 th lord
Mercury. Rahu aspects the 7 th house, with 9 th aspect. Mercury (7 th lord of Rasi chart) is heavily
afflicted by the Nodes in the Navamsa.
Moderate prospects can be expected at the
marital-front. Ascendant lord Jupiter (Rasi
Chart) is occupying the unfavourable 12 th
house, indicating livelihood away from the
native place, quite late start in life etc. The
native is running Rahu-Rahu period from 18
April 2022, till 29 Dec.2024. This period will
not support much in any endeavours. Rahu-
Jupiter period in 2025 onwards will confer on
him marital bliss. Prayers to Family deity and
Lord Uma Maheswara (Kollam, Kerala) can expedite your wish.

Jaimini Astrological Sutras are unique, and hard nuts to crack. Excellent
commentary by Prof.B.Suryanarayana Rao is the highlight of this book.
Making attempts to translate the aphorisms of Maharishi Jaimini is
very commendable. The treatment of different Bhavas, various
Lagnas, like Hora Lagna, Ghatika Lagna, Dasas based on Rasis etc.
of Jaimini system are quite baffling to the beginners, but with some
patience, diligence and practice, the peculiarities of this system can
be comprehended. The Sutras, being short and to the point, can be
easily memorised.
The book comprises of Two Adhyayas, with four Chapters in each.
The first Adhyaya deals with basics, Atma Karaka, Kalatra Karaka,
Bhratru Karaka etc., Rasi dasas, uses of Bhava lagna, Chandra lagna
etc. The second Chapter explains Hora, Drekkana, Navamsa, effects
of planets in various Houses from Karakamsas etc. The third Chapter
explains Pada Lagna, and the 4th Chapter presents results of Upapada lagna, astro-combinations
for various diseases, Mahamantas, evil incantations etc.
The first Chapter of Part II teaches the determination of Longevity, different kinds of Yogas, etc.
The second Chapter discusses the longevity of parents, displeasure of Government, etc. Learn
about Sthira Dasas, Navamsa Dasas, Prana Dasas, Shola Dasas etc. in Chapter Three. Bhoga
Rasis, Bhoga Dasas and Paka, Yogardha Dasa, Drigdasa etc. are explained in the last Chapter.
Here is a sample for short Sutra
“Chandragurusukreshu sree manthaha”
(Adhyaya1, Pada 3, Sutra 15)
If Chandra, Guru or Sukra occupy the 2nd from Pada Lagna, the native will become rich. Here all
these planets may be in the second or anyone of them.
The next Sutra says ‘Ucchhena va’. If the evil or good planets are in the 2nd house from Pada
Lagna in exaltation, the native becomes rich.
Notes: The sage has shown, if the exalted planet is a benefic, the person acquires wealth, by
lawful means; but if an evil planet is in the 2nd exalted, the person becomes rich, through unlawful
and sinful ways.
Jaimini Sutras are hard to understand, and the author has tried his best to explain the aphorisms as
clearly and convincingly as possible. Very educative book indeed!

She has been getting new and walk-in clients.
Malay version of Vasthu Sastra
There is a Malay version of Vasthu Sastra or Feng Shui and it is called Tajul al Muluk and it is used in the
construction of traditional Malay house. According to Ms.Zuraini Ghazali, who completed a Degree course in
Architecture, planning and surveying at University Technology Mara in Shah Alam, Selangor, there are many
similarities between the principles of Vasthu Sastra and those referred to in building traditional Negri Sembilan
houses. She said that the lack of exposure and knowledge has resulted in not many people knowing the value of
the science, which also stresses that every dweller should live in harmony with the environment and the Earth.
Ms. Zuraini, who is doing a thesis on
Vasthu Sastra in relation to
contemporary landscape design, said
in the Malay version, that a house is
compared to a human being. She said
that the characteristics of a Malay
Bugis house are compared to the
human body vibrating energy. Citing
an example from a traditional Maaly
house, she said that the tip of the roof-
top is reffered to as songkok,
represent hair, Attic the eyes and
ears, the roof support as neck, house
structure as shoulder and hands,
ceiling as skin, door as mouth, floor
as waist and stils as legs.

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.
For example, she said the breadwinner of the house must sleep on a ground higher than the ground children that
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.

REMEDIES FROM VISHNU SAHASRANAMAM


By Tapasyah Iyer
There’s a saying “let the world also experience the pleasure/joy/happiness that I experience in my life”.
Some time back, my husband, who is with a public sector concern, had to undergo, huge problems, tremendous
stress and pressure, on the official front, one after the other, and it seemed, as though, it never would end. For
self-related problems, I almost always take refuge in the Mudra techniques, and it works for me. But when we
have to help others, all you can do, is ‘listen to them and offer your moral support’. And besides, yes, you
can call in the Divine energy to help you. So when I was doing research work with my chart, my palms, his
palms, I often started hearing Vishnu Sahasranamam, either in temples or in the TV or YouTubes—some
miracles happening, due to this chanting of Vishnu Sahasranamam. The Sage of Kanchi, himself has advised,
his devotees, that chanting Vishnu Sahasranamam, regularly, would dilute all the miseries, bringing success and
prosperity. So I felt, that I got a ‘go ahead’ signal, from the Sage himself, to chant the Shloka. Here I would
also like to mention that my 7th house lord (related to partner) is Mercury, and the 4th lord (10th to 7, that is
profession of your husband) is also Mercury, which can be pleased, exactly by worshipping MahaVishnu.

in his own way. Just trust him.
