Satsanga with Pujya Swami Dayananda Saraswati
Anyone is capable of knowledge, as long as the person
is not abnormal or under-developed. Any person, who
is normal, is capable of learning. The transference of
this knowledge is not a physical act, but making the
person see exactly as you see. This is teaching, making the other person see
exactly as you see.
The Teacher Beyond Compare
(Swamiji’s address to the Teachers in the
Teachers’ Workshop)
You cannot reject a human being as being incapable
of knowledge, unfit for knowledge. If I am creating
something new, if I am constructing knowledge, I
can say that this is bad material. But if I am only
removing ignorance, there is no question of someone
being unfit for knowledge.
How is ignorance removed? Let me explain:
One plus one is two.
Is this a fact or not.
Yes. It is a fact.
Is it a known fact or unknown?
It is a known fact.
Therefore, it is already in the form of knowledge.
If it is a known fact, then knowledge is not newly
created.
Then what has happened?
The teacher is only removing ignorance of a
known fact. When this known fact is made
known to another conscious being, there is only
removal of ignorance. Till this moment, the
person was ignorant of the fact, the known fact
that one plus one is two. With the teaching, this
ignorance has been removed. No longer is he
ignorant.
Thus, there is only removal of ignorance.
That means anyone is capable of knowledge, as long
as the person is not abnormal or under-developed.
Any person who is normal, is capable of learning.
EXPRESS STAR TELLER  JULY 2023
The transference of this knowledge is not a physical
act, but making the person see exactly as you see.
This is teaching, making the other person see exactly
as you see.
Ipso facto, the teacher must see properly,
before he can make the other person see. When
the teacher is not very clear, the student cannot
be made to understand.
The subject matter must be clear to the teacher. Then,
there will be clarity in the teaching.
The preparation of the lesson is meant for your own
appreciation of how you are going to present your
subject matter to the student.
Let us now examine, whether teaching is a
profession, and the teacher a professional.
A lawyer is a professional, a man who is skilled in
the use of Law. He has a certain expertise. You
consult him, because you have some problems and
you want to draw on his expertise. So you become
his client. You are related to the lawyer, who is a
professional, as a client.
When you go to consult a doctor, also a professional,
you are called a patient, not a client. You are related
to the doctor as his patient.
Similarly, let us say that the husband is related to the
wife.
Can we call the wife a professional?
Can we call the husband a professional?
There is no professional wife.
The husband is not a professional husband.

When the teacher is committed to make the student understand, when he cares
for the student, there is no reason, why the student cannot grasp, what is being
taught. Some may be more intelligent than the others, but that does not lessen
the teacher’s commitment to the others. This commitment and care on the part

Baijnath Mahadev Temple in MP
Built by British devotees of Lord Shiva
The British ruled India for
nearly 200 years, and built
many Churches and
Cathedrals. But unlike the
Aryans, the Arabs, the
Afghans, the Turks, and
people of other ethnicities,
who came to India and
embraced Indian culture,
they always remained
outsiders. Though they
built many churches and
cathedrals where thousands of Indians got converted
to Christianity, the British never accepted Indians as
their own. But there are a few exceptions to this. One
such relic is Baijnath Mahadev temple in Agar Malwa
(Madhya Pradesh), which was renovated by a British
couple around 1883. But why did a British couple,
who had nothing to do with Hinduism or Lord Shiva,
spend a lot of money for the temple’s renovation?
The couple got this temple renovated as a tribute to
Lord Shiva, for saving the life of the husband, who
had gone to fight against the Afghans on Northwest
frontier, which falls in today’s Pakistan. With the
passage of time, the battle got intensified. The
menacing Afghans were giving the British a tough time,
and the rough terrain of Afghanistan made the battle
even more tough. He used to regularly write to his
wife, informing her of conditions there. It was a long
war, and gradually the Colonel’s letters stopped.
Mrs Martin, who then lived in the Cantonment of Agar
Malwa, was besides herself with grief, fearing the
worst. She would spend time riding for hours to divert
her mind from evil thoughts. One day, she rode her
horse past the temple of Baijnath Mahadev. It was in
a decrepit state. It was the time of aarti, and the sound
of Conches and the chanting of mantras compelled
her to stop. She went inside the temple to see the
aarti of Lord Shiva taking place. The priests noticed
the grief on her face, and asked her what was wrong.
Mrs Martin narrated her sad story. The priests told
her that Lord Shiva listens to sincere prayers of all
devotees and saves them from difficult situations. She
was advised by one of the priests to start chanting the
mantra: “Om Namah Shivay” for 11 days. The

Englishwoman prayed
to Lord Shiva for the
Colonel’s safe return,
promising that she
would re-build the
temple, if he came
home safe from the
war. On the 10th day, a
messenger arrived
from Afghanistan with
a letter from her
husband. It read, “I
was regularly sending you letters from the battle-
field, but then suddenly the Pathans surrounded
us. I thought there was no way of escape.
Suddenly I saw an Indian yogi with long hair,
wearing a Tiger skin, carrying a Trident. He had
an awe-inspiring personality and he started
wielding his weapon against the Afghans, who
ran away from the field in fright. With his grace,
what was our certain defeat turned into victory.
Then the great yogi told me that I should not
worry and that he had come to rescue me,
because he was very pleased with my wife’s
prayers.”
Tears of joy and gratitude rolled down Mrs Martin’s
eyes, as she read the letter. Her heart was
overwhelmed. She fell at the feet of Lord Shiva’s
idol and sobbed. After a few weeks, Lt Col Martin
returned and told her the story in detail. The couple
became devotees of Lord Shiva. In 1883, they
donated Rs 15,000 to renovate the temple. This
information is engraved on a slab, kept in the Baijnath
Mahadev temple. Today the amount of Rs 15000
appears small, but in 1883, it was like one crore of
today! The Martins sailed for England with the firm
resolution that they would make a Shiva temple at
their home, and pray to him till the end of life. And
they did.
The Baijnath Mahadev temple is located on the
Susner Road (Ujjain-Kota National Highway no 27)
of the district Agar-Malwa. This temple is one of
the major tourist and religious places of the district.
The temple is situated on the banks of River

Ever Be Contented by Somnath Sarkar

We can be happy, even with very little in life.
There was a king; since he had lots of responsibilities and huge amount of pressure on his shoulder. He was always stressed. He
used to see his servant who was very happy. He was very happy with his work and family, he had no stress, and he used to work hard
but enjoy his work and was contented with his life. This fascinated the King; why was he, the Supreme Ruler of the Land, unhappy and
gloomy, while a lowly servant had so much joy.
The King asked the servant, “Why are you so happy?”
The man replied, “Your Majesty, I am nothing but a servant, but my family and I don’t need too much – just a roof over our heads
and warm food to fill our tummies.”
The king was not satisfied with that reply. Later in the day, he sought the advice of his most trusted Minister. After hearing the King’s woes
and the servant’s story, the Minister said, “Your Majesty, I believe that the servant has not been made part of The 99 Club.”
“The 99 Club? And what exactly is that?” the King inquired curiously. The Minister replied, “Your Majesty, just wait a bit, you yourself
would realise what I mean to be”
The Minister then kept a small bag with 99 Gold coins outside the servant’s house. Next day when the servant saw the bag he was
ecstatic. He began to count them. After several counts, he was at last convinced that there were 99 coins.
‘What could’ve happened to that last gold coin? Surely, no one would leave 99 coins!’ he wondered. He looked everywhere he could,
but that final coin was elusive. Finally, exhausted, he decided that he would have to work harder than ever, to earn that Gold coin and
complete his collection.
From that day, he started to work really hard and hard, and could not give enough attention to his family. He was completely focused
on earning that one more coin. He stopped enjoying his work.
Witnessing this drastic transformation, the King got puzzled. When he sought his Minister’s help, the Minister said, “Your Majesty, the
servant has now officially joined The 99 Club.”
He continued, “The 99 Club is a name given to those people, who have enough to be happy but are never content, because they’re
always yearning and striving for that extra 1 telling to themselves: “Let me get that one final thing and then I will be happy for life.”
We can be happy, even with very little in our life, but the minute we’re given something bigger and better, we want more!!! We lose our
sleep, our happiness; we hurt the people around us. We lose all this at a price of our growing greed and desire. That’s what joining the
99 Club is all about. Got it? Courtesy: https://www.eng-literature.com/2016/06/ever-be-contented-motivational-story.html

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.

Rajayoga-bhangas: Scams & Imprisonment

By Dr CH.D.Ravindra Nath
Perhaps in the entire astrological literature, the mostly dealt with topic is about Raja Yogas and many astro-
pandits have contributed many research papers on it, so far. Also, one of the popular questions posed by
elite clients to Online Indian astrologer anywhere in India is about “Rajayogas”, if any, existing in their
horoscope, to find out if they have these magical yoga combinations resulting in massive fame, happiness,
riches and success.
Gaja-Kesari Yoga, Adhi Yoga and Panch Mahapurush Yogas are quite frequently found Raja Yogas in many
charts. But according to my perspective, Mahalakshmi Yoga in astrology is a very rare yoga, which is not
generally found in any horoscope, which blesses the natives with massive amount of wealth for their whole
life-time. This yoga is formed, when there is connection among 1st house, 2nd house, 5th house, 9th house and
11th house. At the same time, due importance is not given by our astrological fraternity to “Rajayoga-
bhangas” and it has become a neglected topic in astrology.

Planets bestow Beauty

Outward Appearance of People By Dr.S.Shantha

People, especially women, who look beautiful and charming will become the centre of attraction, wherever
they go. It becomes advantageous during her seeking for marriage. It also plays a vital role in modelling,
stage-acting, anchoring, etc. Nowadays, many beauty products and beauty saloons (for both men and women)
are available in the market to help the people to enhance their beauty. Gym helped them to keep their body fit.
Many people are watchful in their diet to maintain their beauty and fitness. Many start-up companies help
them giving tips and training to maintain their fitness and beauty.
It is to be noted that physical beauty is not solely dependent on placement/aspect/conjunction of planets.
Other factors like heredity, place of living, culture, dressing sense, economic condition, race, age, grooming,
attitude, etc will also account. One can be pretty and still carry a heart of ugliness within them.
Generally, for men, the best astrological aspects for Beauty are: The Sun, Mars, Leo sign, Libra signs and for
women—Moon, Venus, Cancer sign, Taurus sign.
We have to see the strength of 1st house for appearance, 2nd house for eyes and face and 3rd house for
energy/fitness and the quality of beautifying oneself.
Beauty can be judged by the placement/aspect/conjunction of Venus, Moon, Mars (strong physique), Saturn
(exercise). Sun and Jupiter for strength and divinity of the beauty.

Some of the notable combinations for beautiful
women
Venus in Watery sign, ascendant and Moon in Taurus
(particularly in Rohini).
Venus -Moon conjunction in 1st and 2nd house.
Sun-Venus’s conjunction will also give attraction.
Strong Sun with benefic planet’s influence.
Mercury will give young look.
Taurus/Libra ascendant with Venus in 1st/7th
house.
If the lagna of D1 and D9 have the influence of
Venus and Moon, then the native will look beautiful
and attractive, and lagna lord in Bharani,
Poorvashada(stars of Venus) and Rohini, Hastha
nakshatra (stars of Moon) also gives attractive look.
If the Moon is well placed in conjunction with
ascendant lord.
Strong Saturn in the ascendant, having benefic
influence, gives handsome personality.
 Venus-Mars association will give magnetic
personality.
Venus-Rahu will look glamorous and charming.
Venus with Jupiter: beauty like Goddess.
Lagna lord in Mars: nakshatra—Mrigasira, Chitra
and Dhanishta.
Lagnas ruled by Moon, Venus, Mercury, and Jupiter.

Gemini, Libra, Aquarius are Airy signs. Lagna in
these signs gives wiry body, with long limbs. Not likely
to gain much weight.
Aries (1st house in Zodiac- daring); Taurus (2nd
house: representing eyes and mouth, overall
beauty of face); Libra (The most delicate Zodiac
sign); Gemini (The most darling Zodiac sign); Cancer
(The most lovely and affectionate) Zodiac sign.
With 1st and 2nd house, we have to see the 6th house
also, because 6th house rules, sickness, debt, and
enemies, and cleanliness. If a native falls sick, then
the beauty will fade away.
Heredity plays an important role in one’s appearance.
Children will look like their parents in most of the
cases. At times, exceptional horoscopes make one
look quite different from parents. In such a case, the
child may display some rare genes, that were dormant
for generations.
One’s beauty is related to family culture and
surroundings also. We can see the persons having
Venus and Moon influence in the 1st and 2nd houses
look very attractive and beautiful; with same
combination, some others may look ugly.
We can define beauty with the parts such as face,
eyes, nose, skin, hair, height, weight and body-shape.

Sl.2: Moon in the 2nd house attractive. Adorn beautiful

Bhava Kuthuhalam: Ch.9: Sl.6- If Moon in 1st or

beautiful.
Sl.8: If in a woman’s horoscope, Venus being in
conjunction with two benefic planets is situated in
the 7th house, that woman will possess Moon-like face
(extremely beautiful).
As per the translator’s note for this sloka If the
Ascendant is Virgo, this yoga or combination shows
its effects successfully, because the sign of Virgo is
an Even sign, and at the same time, it is the favourite
sign of Mercury, who is extremely beautiful, delicate,
has an attractive face and is called the prince among
the planets. The second main reason is that, in the
2nd house, there is the sign of Venus, who is the Queen
of beauty. In such a situation, if Venus being endowed
with strength, in conjunction with planets, which are
naturally benefic and auspicious, is placed in the 7th
house, the symbol of the period of youth.
Sl:9: If there is Jupiter or Venus in the Ascendant,
Mercury being in the 7th house in Virgo, Mars is in
Capricorn and the Moon is in Cancer, then the native

beauty, as if she had done hard penance and become
the empress of an emperor.

Coronation of Charles III By Abhishek Kedia
With reference to my previous article published in EST Nov 2022, page 30, this write-
up is continuation of the same. In that, I have discussed the Charles III Horoscope.
Now after the Coronation, we will see how his tenure looks in future. Discussing his
horoscope in the last article, prediction was made that he will break some old customs,
which he did in the Coronation.
 He broke the Centuries’ old tradition, and invited other reigning monarchs to his
Coronation.
 He did not wear Full Military Outfit, and got himself dressed up in a vintage Robe of State, a crimson Tunic,
and a silk overshirt with Royal Naval trousers, inspired by designs of King George V and King George VI.

 2024 can be a period of troubles for Charles III

religious issues can cause disharmony. The
country has to spend money on medicines and
defence, whereas economy will become slow.
Although the world has seen this coronation, but
practically the King’s decision or interference will
be restricted to a limit, and UK govt will play major
role in the country’s economy. Overall, the
coronation will not be that impactful, but it will bring
change in the perception of its countrymen.

Prospects of the New Karnataka Government
Swearing-in Chart of Siddharamaih as Chief Minister By O D Mande
As per the election results of Karnataka declared on 13 May 2023, the Congress has won landslide
victory, securing 136 seats out of 224 in the Assembly. The Karnataka win has undeniably given a booster
dose of exuberance to those seeking regime change. At the same time, it has shown that Hindu consolidation
dose not happen on aggressive Hindutva alone. It must be supplemented by effective thrust on governance
and welfare.
Sh. Siddharamaih was sworn in as Chief Minister on 20 May 2023 in a grand function, held at Bengaluru’s
Kanteerava stadium. D K Shivakumar and some MLAs were also sworn in as Dy CM and Cabinet
Ministers respectively.

malefic aspects of Rahu and Saturn. The other
important parameters are discussed below:

(5) Malefics should be relegated to Upachayas.
This criterion is partially satisfied.
(6) The 8th house should be vacant. This criterion
is satisfied.
(7) The Yoga is Atiganda, ruled by Moon, and the
Karan is Bava, ruled by Sun…mixed feature.
(8) The Panchakam obtained by adding the figures
for the rising sign (Leo —5), Lunar day (Pratipada -1)
the nakshatra (Rohini —4) and the weekday
(Saturday –7, starting from Sunday as 1) be
divided by 9. If the remainder is 1, it is Mrutyu
Panchakam showing danger, if 2, it is Agni
Panchakam showing danger from fire, if 4, it is Raja
Pachakam pointing to adversity and calamity, if
6, it is Chor Panchakam, indicative of evil, and if
8, it is Roga Panchakam, showing disease. If it is
0, 3, 5 or 7 it is deemed favourable. In this case it
is 8, and hence unfavourable.
The Muhurta parameters are a mix of favourable
and of adverse features, both being roughly equal.
A few other important points are also brought out
as follows.
(i) Sh D. K. Shivakumar was very keen to become
CM, but had to be content as Dy CM. In the Rasi
chart, Dy CM is shown by the 3rd house of younger
brother. This house is owned by Venus, and
occupied by Ketu. Venus and ascendant lord
Sun are in 2/12 positions in the Rasi as well as
Navamsa. This is a clear indication of lack of
harmony between the two. Despite the 28 names
finalized by the Congress, only 8 could be sworn in
as Cabinet Ministers, illustrates this !
(ii) The 9th house (dharma) is occupied by Jupiter—
Rahu and 2nd/11th lord Mercury. The new
government may like to appease Muslims, by taking
measures like restoration of their quota in jobs
and relaxation of Hijab restriction. This will be
strongly opposed by the main opposition BJP
represented by 6/7th lord Saturn, posited in the 7th
house. Please note the placement of Saturn and
Sun in mutual 2/12 positions in the Navamsa. The
9th house is aspected by 6th lord Saturn.. There
would be emphasis on improving the health sector
and employment opportunities, but the debt of State
government would also rise.
(iii) The second house denotes, inter alia, the State’s
economic condition and its close linkage with the
11th (gain, revenue) is vital. In the chart, these
houses are owned by Mercury. The second house
also denotes CM’s family i e all ministers and
Congress MLAs. Some of them (supporters of
D.K. Shivakumar) may ask for change in the
leadership during Saturn -Sun period in late 2025,
when D.K. Shivakumar may stake claim for CM ’s
post, as per the 50:50 formula.
(iv) The 4th house (people’s well being) is aspected
by the Sun and the Moon, but the 4th lord Mars is
debilitated in the 12th house … not a happy situation.
(v) Longevity (three pair method):—The first pair
comprising ascendant lord Sun (Fixed) and the
8th lord Jupiter (Movable) indicates “middle”
longevity. The second pair of Moon (Fixed) and
Saturn (Fixed) indicates “short” longevity. The
third pair of Ascendant (Fixed) and Hora Lagna
Scorpio 200 34’ (fixed)’ also indicates “ short “
longevity. Taking an overall view, the CM may not
complete his term of five years. As per the 50:50
formula, he will have to step down, after completing
half tenure and make way for D K Shivakumar.

“By communicating with the Spirit of ancestor, it is possible to

know your future, and seek solutions to problems”
Psychic Astrologer / Medium R.P. Hari in conversation with Hemamalini Raghunathan

smoothen the path? Mr. R.P. Hari consoles people by getting help
from the spirits. Beings from the next plane seem to be very fond of
Mr. R.P. Hari(WhatsApp:9003079373). They provide right advice
through him to the troubled mankind. The interest in occult sciences
(Astrology, Numerology, etc) slowly led him to involvement in a

practices of conjuring spirits from them. He was amazed to find that the
spirits were ever ready to help the mankind. My helping spirit
is my deceased father. Here the Divine Psychic astrologer

“My helping spirit is my father. If I need to contact any other spirit, it is only through him that
I contact them. Whenever I want to communicate with father, I used to pray in my mind. After
offering incense and camphor, I follow the Auto-writing method to communicate with him.”
and also have felt their touch. I have felt the above
through a few incidents.
Once when I was sleeping, I felt another person trying
to lie over me physically. Then I spent sleepless nights
because of fear. I was told by elders that a spirit was
trying to enter my body. When I resisted with my mind-
power, there was a force, which made me feel that it
was lying over me. Similarly there were also other
instances, when I felt that somebody had been
watching me from behind; I could hear the foot-steps
clearly. While remaining alone in the bathroom, I have
heard somebody calling me and talking to me. My
family members have also come across such instances.
During a conference on spirits, once I felt that somebody
was pushing me aside and marching forward, but I
could see nobody near me. A few people in front of
me suddenly fell down. I have also felt somebody
touching my head at times. I have felt the movement of
spirits in these ways.
Can you call any spirit? Is any particular spirit
helping you?
My helping spirit is my father. I do not call him, because
he is always with me. If I need to contact any other
spirits, it is only through him that I contact them. If any
of my family member is in need of any emergency help,
he will attend to that and come back to me. They are
similar to human beings. They stay wherever they want
to be. Whenever I want to communicate with my
father, I used to pray in my mind. After offering incense
and camphor to him, I follow the writing method to
communicate with him.
My father was an expert astrologer. After his demise
in 1990, I keep the client’s horoscope for his perusal,
and seek predictions for the client through Auto-writing.
I don’t predict only as a Psychic, I am also an
Astrologer.
According to the theory of rebirth, a spirit is
reborn again. Then how can you call them? How
will you know that whether a particular spirit still
exists as a spirit or already reborn?
EXPRESS STAR TELLER  JULY 2023
According to the theory of rebirth, there is every
possibility of a spirit being reborn again, mostly in
the same family or circle, to which the person had
belonged. In that case, it is not possible to call it
again. But we will know about the spirit’s rebirth,
well in advance. Spirits themselves will inform us
about their rebirth. If we are not in touch with
them, then it is uncertain that whether they are
born again or still they exit as spirits.
Kindly throw light on the concept of spirits?
Any human being after his death dwells as a spirit
around the family circle, to which he belonged.
The spirit will do its best to safeguard and help its
family, to whom it was attached, when it was alive.
It will have the same type of love and hatred
feelings as it had, when it was a human being. It
will also become aware of the persons, who had
pretended to be affectionate, when it was alive. It
can find out the truth. When it feels that the family
is safe and settled, then it finds an opportunity of
being born again in the same family circle within
10 years.
For example, when the daughter or son get
married, it will try to be born to its daughter or
son. If there is no possibility of being born in the
same family, then it will search in the circle of
relatives or atleast in the same caste or tribe. Even
if it tries to be reborn in an unknown wealthy
family, it is not possible, because the spirits
belonging to that unknown circle will not allow
them. Only if the desiring spirit gets permission
from those guarding spirits, it will be possible to
take birth in the family.
A spirit generally tries to satisfy its unfulfilled wishes
in its rebirth, by choosing the place, which can
satisfy its wishes. Once reborn, it gets accustomed
to the new circle and cannot remember its past;
but the events of the past will have some unknown
influence on that individual reborn.

interview
“Once, I implanted in my client’s mind some encouraging ideas about future during an
auspicious time. Unconsciously he started working very hard towards his goal at an auspicious
time, which was the turning point in his life.”
Kindly share with us some instance where your
predictions have come true.
Once a man approached me to get some predictions.
But he did not possess any horoscope. He did not know
his accurate birth details also. I wrote some favourable
predictions in a paper. I asked him to read them, only
during a particular auspicious time(noted down by me).
He followed my instructions and read them accordingly.
When I met him again after 7 months, he was very happy
to tell me that all my predictions had come true. I just
implanted in his mind some encouraging ideas about
future during an auspicious time. Unconsciously he
started working very hard towards his goal at an
auspicious time, which was the turning point in his life. I
have followed this technique in many cases and found
success.
I advise my clients that remedial measures should be
performed well in advance of the unfavourable period.
People perform remedies only during times of trouble.
But I feel that when a person is happy and confident, he
should start doing pariharams to counter the bad effects
of oncoming unfavourable periods. Your mind will
continue to remain positive and you can easily overcome
the difficulties. In my own cases, I have verified this
Astrologically I calculated my unfavourable period and
started doing pariharams well in advance. As expected,
I fell very sick and the doctors diagnosed cancer in my
bladder. Days passed by. I remained very confident that
I would be all right after a particular date. I was consoling
my family and friends. Doctors decided to conduct
surgery. On the Operation Table, the chief surgeon found
that there were no traces of cancer suddenly. The
operation was stopped. I became normal and started
attending myroutine-work. My will-power did the magic
assisted by spiritual strength attained through prayers,
charity, good acts and pariharams (Pariharams are
suggested by my ‘spirit’ friends).
In another instance, the spirits advised me that
punya(merits) accumulated both in the previous birth
and the current birth should not be utilized for material
progress always. These should be preserved to utilize
30 EXPRESS STAR TELLER  JULY 2023
in crucial times like saving life from fatal accidents,
sickness etc. Same thing happened in the case of a
young man who approached me for progress in his
career. When I solicited help from the spirits regarding
my client, they said that his punya had to be utilized for
saving him from a fatal accident which was due to
take place soon. I also agreed to that and felt that
‘giving life’ was more important than professional
success. As expected, he was saved from the accident,
but remained without much professional success. The
young man was helping others in as many ways as
possible. Monetary help is not the only help. As his
punya started growing again, he started climbing the
ladder of success.
What type of remedies are suggested in general?
When a client approaches me, I first read his
horoscope, especially the strength of the 9th house
(Pitrusthana) and its lord. Then I can assess, whether
the native will be assisted by the spirits of his ancestors
or not. In many cases, my guiding spirit (my father)
has approached the spirits of that native’s family to
lend a helping hand to his family members. I never
recommend elaborate homas (poojas), but only silent
meditation (prayers) to their ancestors. In some cases,
the spirit has changed the mind of the enemy or
opponent and thus the desired goal is reached.
Generally people believe that great spiritual
masters like Ramana Maharishi, Shirdi Sai
Baba and others do not take birth again; they
have crossed the cycle of birth and death and
attained salvation. What are your comments
about this?
Sages and saints mingle and unite with the Universal
force, after they leave their mortal bodies behind. If
they desire, they can take birth again in this world to
guide the people in the right path towards salvation.
It is said that, Spirit Reading is not successful
sometimes.
Yes…it is true. Nowadays, many are learning the
method of contacting the spirits. But I feel that only a
interview
few can be powerful Mediums to contact the spirits.
Only a spirit, who was an astrologer in his earthly stay,
can predict the future of the client. If the spirit of a Doctor
is asked for predictions about marriage, foreign job
etc., naturally the Spirit Reading will go wrong.
In general, the common people try to avoid Spirit
Reading. How are you continuing in this
profession (1990 to 2023) still?
My clients are very much satisfied with the predictions.
I have proved these with evidences through Books,
You Tube etc. My father, as a guiding spirit, and also
other spirits not only give predictions about future, they
save the troubled people from danger, diseases etc.
They help to improve the business, increase positivity
Clarity in Palmistry
Q: Is the ‘clubbed thumb’ really dangerous?
This is a very famous type of Thumb, much talked
about! Let us clear some misconceptions about it.
Traditionally, this is called as the murderers Thumb.
Note : Many murderers where found to have such
Thumbs, not all. And not all the persons who,
possess, this type of Thumb are murderers! There
are so many delightful people with such Thumbs .
(fig.T3 a)
However it is a sign of a person , who tends to
withhold energy, to such extent, that strong, sudden
bursts of temper can result.
This withholding of energy may also result in physical
issues such as high Blood Pressure and stress-related
diseases.
When the tip is CONIC in shape, it indicates a
person, whose energy tends to scatter, when he or
she is confronted with a major project or serious
problems.(fig.T3 b)
When the tip of the Will phalange appears thin or
flat, when viewed from the side, it indicates a high
strung and nervous person.
When the tip is SQUARISH, he or she has the ability
to organize and execute projects. (fig.T3 c)
When the tip is SPATULATE, it is a sign of a
dynamic individual with a zest for living. Things
happen around him.

in life. They also act as a Hypnotist and heal the mentally-
affected persons. I have explained these in my books,
You Tube. The spirits prevent negative people contacting
the client. They implant positive thoughts in the
subconscious mind.
Can the spirits of ancestors of all families help
their descendants?
Definitely they try to help their family. Sometimes we
are not aware of it, or the spirits are very weak to carry
out the ‘expected’ tasks. Some spirits try to harm the
enemies of their earthly life, they want to take revenge
etc. In such cases, at many instances, my father’s spirits
has prevented such onslaughts on my clients’ families.
Spirits of great Guru are also helping the mankind.

More about Thumb’s phalanges:
The phalange of logic reveals the reasoning power of a
person.
The longer and thicker the phalange , the more the ego
will exert strong control over action.
In extreme cases, people with long logic phalanges will
think something , so persistently, that they are no longer
capable of action!! This is especially true, if the Thumb
joint is knotted.
A thick phalange of logic is considered by palmists ,
that , the owner tends to be frank, blunt and too
outspoken.
A waisted phalange is an indicator of tact and
diplomacy.

Mudra for Diabetes By Tapasyah Iyer

Suggesting this Mudra to our EST readers, actually struck me, after interaction with my daughter. When she
was posted in duty on NCD (Non communicable diseases) to gather data and, report it to the Health
department, of BMC (Brihan Mumbai Municipal Corporation). She was highly disturbed by the frequent
occurrence of Diabetes in patients, including youngsters, in alarming numbers. Thanks to the influence of fast
foods, untimely meals and sedentary lifestyle.
Here I am not proud to say that India is the Diabetic capital of the world, as it accounts for nearly 17% of
the total number of Diabetes patients in the world.
Data from ‘The Indian Express’: India is among the high-occurrence countries of people living with
Type 1 diabetes that is predicted to see an increase in numbers by 2040 to almost double. As of today,
there are approximately 8.6 lakh people with Type 1 diabetes in India with one in six young people
dying without a diagnosis.
AIM: So the aim of this write up is to be aware of our health situation, with regular health check ups,
moderate and healthy eating habits, and using preventive measures to keep diseases at bay, before it goes
out of control. A healthy diet, regular physical activity, maintaining a normal body weight and avoiding
tobacco use are ways to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes.

I
came to know about this Mudra from (Late)
Dr J Jayalakshmi (Alternative medicine),
whom I remember with reverence, as my
Dhronacharya, where Mudra Therapy is concerned.
I had requested her, to suggest a Mudra for Sugar
issues, for my mother-in-law. Needless to say, as
with most people of the previous generation, my
mother-in-law took this sincerely, and does this
Mudra regularly. Diabetes is well under control, and
she is now, running the age of 90.. and going strong.
I think we need, no further motivation !
Now, IN to this very useful Mudra…
Mudras – How many ?
Mudras have been an integral part of many Hindu
and Buddhist rituals. They are used extensively in
Yoga, meditation and dance. Across various
disciplines, it is said that, there exist close to 399
mudras. These are also referred to as Hasta Mudra
or Anguli Mudra. (Hasta –hand/ Anguli- fingers)
When can you do Mudra?
Mudras can be performed anytime, although sitting
in the Lotus position in regular fixed time and focusing

Delayed conception, after Medical Treatment
By Kaavassery S Naaraayanan

Only females are privileged to attain the much-adored status of mother hood, 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.

Case study : Female astrological work “ Phaladeepika”, by doing

Birth on 01-03-1970

A party contacted me in October 2014, saying that
‘Having reached the age of almost 44/45, we are
dismayed that she is not getting conceived’;
having taken an astrological opinion after a scrutiny
of birth chart, which is not encouraging to the
expected event / result, ‘ we are at a loss as to
what is to be done’ ….
After these submission, the lady asked: “Will I be
able to conceive and get atleast a child, of this
wedlock” ?. I replied thus: As per the ancient
charity measures and resorting to consumption of
medicines, one may achieve pregnancy, since 5th
from Jupiter, in this chart, has occupation of two
malefics. [This lady have had a late marriage….
(7th lord is under direct aspect of Saturn, as 8th
lord, and also of Mars the 6th lord, indicative of
hurdle in experiencing the event at an early date,
and suffering the delay)] .
Almost an year later, in 2015, the same lady contacted
for a Horary analysis with her enquiry into pregnancy,
giving Horary Number 27, selected by the lady.

The Horary Moon positioned itself in the 11th bhaava,
in the star of a planet, which owns the 5th cusp, in
this Horary chart, having its sub-portion under the
control of the natural significator for children, which
is throwing its aspect on the 11th, and thus is bringing
out very clearly the relevance and correct intent of
the query.
The 5th lord, Mercury, owns the 2nd house as well,
but is occupying the 12th bhaava, in the company of
lord of 12, which is positioned in its own house in
the 12th bhaava ; besides, the lord of 5 has
occupation in the 8th from the 5th. This planetary
distribution is projecting a picture of dismay and
difficulty in the matter queried of.
DETAILS OF CUSPS AND PLANETS The cuspal sub-portion on the 5th gets ruled by the

which has ownership on the house which is 12th to

MAR 018·55·56 Aries Mar Ven Rah Additionally, this Moon, though placed in the 11th

inflaming further the concern over the expected

VEN 043·43·57 Taurus Ven Moo Rah The lord of 11th, too, is in an untenanted status, with
SA® 219·59·22 Scorpio Mar Sa® Ven ownership of the 8th cusp, which has fallen vacant,
and this also contributes to the dismay. Aspect from
RAH 165·16·36 Virgo Mer Moo Jup
12th lord Mars, on this planet Jupiter, throws
KET 345·16·36 Pisces Jup Sa® Jup additional burden and lends credence to this view.
But occupation of Rahu in the relevant bhaava itself,

as an untenanted planet, is indeed a promising factor.

10 298·27·42 Capricorn Sa® Mar Sa® one may have to take help from medical fraternity,

12 004·12·36 Aries Mar Ket Moo Rahu is in the star Hasta, of the Moon. This planet
is signifying “oushadha”/ medical potion, (being an

oushadha kaaraka) thus reiterating that the querent
will have to partake appropriate medicines to help
conception. Jupiter influences Rahu, at the sub-
portion, as an untenanted planet, holding the 11th
bhaava, thus assuring a positive outcome in this effort.
The cuspal point on the 11th is held by the Moon,
having signification for both the 2nd as well as the 5th
houses, while Rahu in the star of Moon is strongly
signifying 11th, thus there is an assurance on achieving
a positive result.
The 5th is held by Mercury – Sun – Rahu. Mercury
as well as the Sun, having positioned in a star owned
by Ketu, signifies desire fulfillment bhaava strongly,
while Rahu occupying 5th having untenanted status
, and in a star of the Moon, signifies both the 5th as
well as 11th bhaava results. This assures conception.
Except for Mars and Saturn, all the other planets
are significators of either the 2nd, or the 5th or the
11th bhaava, the houses which have relevance to the
event expected. Saturn gets aspected by an exalted
11th lord, while Mars is in a close association with
lords of 2nd and 5 th, thereby roping in their
involvement as well.
The Horary dasa in operation is that of Mercury,
coiling itself at its sub-portion as well, signifying all
the three required houses, to facilitate conception,
and this is a promising factor.

failure. In the third attempt, the lady did conceive

during the Horary Dasa-Bhukti-Antara ruled by
Mercury-Saturn-Jupiter.
Why the failure?
Note that the node Rahu, sitting in the 5th bhaava, is
in the sign Virgo, and represents its sign lord, indicative
of repetition in attempt, before success is achieved.
Rahu is aspected by the Moon, which is conjoined
with Ketu, an abortive node, and the sign lord Mercury
sits in the star of Ketu.
Ketu is positioned in Pisces owned by the
‘puthrakaaraka’, aspected by the puthrakaaraka
graha. Both, the sign Pisces and its lord, stands for
duality, thus justifying a few failed attempts initially,
and, thereafter scoring success. As an untenanted
planet, Jupiter, owns the 8th cusp of pain/hurdles and
signifies the 12th house of loss, and expenses as well,
to be suffered, effects of which are delivered without

How Vimsottari Dasa Plays an Important Role In Prediction

Dasa-bhukti results for Aquarius Lagna By Dr. S. Shantha

Aquarius is the last Airy and Fixed sign in Zodiac chart, ruled by Saturn, which is 11 th (Badhaka) house. Some
school of thought says that Rahu also owns Aquarius. It is a general opinion that when Saturn rules the lagna,
the life will be full of problems. They have to face many challenges and hurdles in their life, and at the same
time, they may have the courage to face the challenges, with tireless sincere efforts, patience and hard work.
Generally, Aquarians will be melancholic and shy by nature, and do not share their views easily with anyone.
They develop intuition and good concentration. They may have strong inquisitiveness, that decides their actions.
Venus is the most benefic Yogakaraka planet for Aquarius lagna, which owns 4 th and 9th house. Saturn is
benefic planet, being the lord of 1st house. Sun and Mercury are neutral [Sun owns 7th house (Angle house),
and Mercury owns 5th, a Trikona house and 8th house, which is dusthana]. Malefic planets are Jupiter (2nd and
11th lord), Mars (3rd and 10th lord) and Rahu-Ketu (natural malefic planets).

Raja Yoga Though Venus is Yoga Karaka for Aquarius lagna,

Venus will give Raja Yoga, since it owns 4th and 9th
houses. It will give benefic results in its Dasa-bhukthi
period, if it is alone or joins Mars or Mercury or in
mutual exchange or in mutual aspects. In houses
6,8,12, it will not give good results.
Dhana Yoga
Jupiter is 2nd and 11th lord to Aquarius lagna. Dhana
Yoga will be created, if Jupiter joins Mercury in
2,5,9,11 or Jupiter and Venus join in 2, 9, 11th house.
Venus alone and joining Mercury will give Dhana
Yoga.
Mahapurusha Yoga
Venus in 4th house and Mars in 10th house will create
Malavya Yoga and Ruchaka Yoga, respectively. But
the benefic results will be average only. The reason
may be that Venus is Badhakathipati and Mars owns
3rd house also.
Dasa period
For Aquarius lagna, Mars, Moon, Mercury, and Jupiter
become 3rd, 6th,8th,11th lords respectively. Mercury
also owns 5th house, and therefore Ashtamadhipati
dosha is nullified.
Mars, even though owns 3rd house, it also owns 10th
house, and if it conjoins with Venus (9th lord), it will
give Raja Yoga results, in its dasa-bhukthi period. If
these two are in 9th house or 10th house or in mutual
exchange or in mutual aspect, then the native will not
be an ordinary person. He is extraordinarily talented,
and live with name and fame. If Mars joins Mercury
as 5th lord, then also the dasa bhukthi period of Mars
will be beneficial.
we have to judge the chart with the strength of Venus.
If Venus is in Kendra or Trikona house, then the native
will be the luckiest person. He will enjoy 4th house
matters such as land, house, luxury vehicles, jewels,
dresses, bed comforts and all things, which give
happiness to all five senses. He will enjoy happiness
with wife, children and will be the centre of attraction
in public. Venus with Mercury will give extraordinarily
good results in their dasa-bukthi periods. Venus with
Mars will give high status and high position and respect
in society. If Venus dasa period comes in first, the
native will enjoy all comforts and happiness, and his
father will gain name and fame, acquire properties,
and enjoy luxury life. If Venus dasa period comes in
the middle age, the native will enjoy good results
continuously from Mercury dasa period. Venus bukthi
in all dasa period will give benefic results. If Venus is
in houses 6,8 or 12, then the native could not enjoy
happy life, throughout the life-time.
Sun dasa period will also give moderate results. But
Moon dasa period will not give auspicious
results. Health issues and quarrel between family
members are unavoidable. Some will become
addicted to drinks, to escape from the problems in
life. The native must be incredibly careful during this
period. If the Moon in houses 6,8,or 12, then the bad
results will become less in Moon’s dasa-bukthi period.
Mars dasa period may not be beneficial, if Mars
is alone in a chart. Troubles from younger siblings,
differences with children, accidents, etc. will give
tension. If it joins Mercury or Venus, then its dasa-
bukthi period will be good.

EXPRESS STAR TELLER  JULY 2023 45

The native may enjoy average results during Rahu dasa period. There may be obstacles, but they may
not stop their efforts to progress in life.
Jupiter becomes 2nd and 11th lord for Aquarius. Even though Jupiter is considered as natural benefic planet,
its dasa period will reduce the native’s status, if not much harmful. Jupiter dasa bukthi period will give
troubles/hurdles in all his endeavours. He would get bad name from his superiors. He cannot acquire any
wealth or save money. If Jupiter becomes first dasa, then the native will enjoy good period from Saturn dasa
period to Sun dasa period continuously. Jupiter is Marakadhipati, and therefore the native’s health may be
affected. If Jupiter joins Venus or Mercury, or in houses 6,8,12, then the results will be good in its period.
Saturn dasa period will give good results, as lagna lord (1st angle and 1st trikona lord). But malefic results
as 12th lord will be more in swabukthi period. If Saturn is placed in good houses in birth chart, then the native
will get cent per cent result for his efforts, but if it is placed in a malefic house or in bad combinations, then the
native must face hardships in all walks of life. Challenges and disappointments are unavoidable. On the
flipside, the native will acquire properties and project himself as a leader. He will slowly recover from bad
experiences that he faced in Jupiter dasa period.
Mercury dasa period is a boon for the native. He gets name and fame. If it becomes first dasa, then the
native will achieve high ranks in studies, and will land in a good position in Ketu dasa period. The native will
enjoy good results continuously for more than forty years from Mercury dasa period. In all dasa period,
Venus and Mercury bukthi will give auspicious results.

Mars, Mercury, Sun, and Venus are in 8th house. Venus’ debilitation is cancelled by exalted
Mercury, and it becomes strong, as it is in own house in D9 chart. 2nd lord Jupiter is in
Vargottama. Mercury being combust and retrograde, along with Venus is very good combination
for Stage performance with creativity. 10th lord Mars in association with Venus and Mercury
helped him to achieve top position in acting profession, name, fame, and wealth. Lagna lord in
4th house, which is unafflicted, gave all comforts in his own land, during its dasa period.
He started his acting career in 1969 during Jupiter-Rahu-Saturn period. He rised to stardom
during 1973-74, when Saturn-Mercury period started. He was in limelight till Saturn-Rahu period. During
Saturn-Moon period in July 1982, he met with an accident in the shooting spot. He was off the screen
temporarily. He came back for acting, and entered business venture in Mercury-Venus period in 1996.
Mr.Bachchan was crowned as Superstar of the Millennium in 2000, at the Filmfare Awards during Mercury-
Rahu-Mercury period.
In this chart, we can see that the combination of Venus and Mercury gave good results. Saturn gave rise in
his profession, and Moon bukthi gave health issues and accident (in 12th lord dasa and 6th lord bukthi).

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.
It helped. It did help our family, as a whole, in many ways. The Divine has his own way of solving our miseries,
in his own way. Just trust him.

Chanting Vishnu Sahasranamam, everyday, regularly,
especially during the Brahma Muhurtha is very
effective. For those people, who are not able to chant
the shloka fully, the specific shlokas are picked up,
for quick and easy chanting/ reference.

Jupiter-Venus period, which will last till March 2026. Jupiter is the 3 rd and 12 th lord.
Rahu has occupied the 12 th house. Venus is the 5 th and 10 th lord.Moderate prospects

pose some obstacles in 2026, 2027, 2028. No change of job is foreseen, in the near

Q: The native has been abroad since 2004. Are there chances for him to return to native
place?
A: 10th lord Jupiter occupying Watery sign Scorpio, signifying career prospects, is posited in the 6 th
house, which is not, all that desirable. 9th lord Saturn and 5th lord Venus are in Parivartana, causing
Raja yoga effects. In Dasamsa, Ascendant has
fallen in Watery sign Pisces, and Moon in another
Watery sign Cancer. 9th lord Mars has occupied
its own house of Watery sign Scorpio. 10th lord
Jupiter occupies 9th house, along with 9th lord
Mars, which is a great blessing, causing Raja
yoga. Ascendants of both Rasi and Dasamsa
charts are afflicted by Nodes, which will keep
posing obstacles. The native is currently running

major change in career is indicated. Change of place is not indicated in the near-future.

HIS is an original research, lauded by the veteran teacher
Shri K.N.Rao, as “I am exceedingly happy that Sachin
caught the hint, I had given in my book ‘Mandook Dasha’,
and worked on it to produce an original research… avoiding….pit
falls….” The author has used horoscopes from his own collection.
He has verified the horoscopes through some events (rectification)
and then produced this research. He had to make sure that the
Navamsha lagna was 100% correct. Shri K.N.Rao adds, Navamsha
dasha can be applied in a different way also, and similar results got.
“..... no hint about how to calculate is available anywhere. It is
only through a research that it can be proved is why this effort of
Sachin is so laudable, because he proves through research”. He
recommends, “Use Chara dasha, which is the King of the Rashi
dashas of Jaimini, and the Vimshottari dasha, which is the King of the Nakshatra dashas of
Parashara. Then narrow down your readings, and clinch then through Conditional Nakshatra
dashas and Jaimini’s Navamsha dasha as shown I this book”
In Jaimini Sutram, the hint available about Navamsha dasha is that it starts from the Navamsha
lagna itself, in case it is Odd, and from the 7th house, if the lagna is Even. The Order of the dashas
is direct, if the Navamsha Lagna is Odd, and indirect (anti-clockwise), if it is Even.
Navamsha dasha is to be used, only on the Navamsha chart.
The book consists of 17 Chapters, dealing with topics like Sthira Karakas in Navamsha Dasha,
Benefic and Malefic Planets in Jaimini, How to calculate Navamsha dasha, dasha Order for Odd
and Even signs, and then dealing with important aspects of life (like education, career, marriage,
children, death, illness and property) through illustrated examples, and then summarising them
in three Astro-portraits.
Under the ever-interesting topic of Timing marriage through Navamsha dasha, the
following interesting points are to be checked:
 The Navamsha dasha of the 7th house from Darakaraka, Atmakaraka or Navamsha lagna.
 For unconventional marriages, see the influence of Rahu or Ketu on Darakaraka.
 In Love marriage, the aspect of Putrakaraka and Darakaraka on the Rasi dasha or the 5th from
it have a crucial role to play.
Convincing Case-studies are provided to prove the point.
This book presents an innovative, intelligent research, proved through sound methodology.

Yoga for Strengthening Spinal Cord By Yoga Guru P.Krishnan Balaji

The entire well being of a person lies in the strentgth of his Backbone.
The Spinal Cord is often termed as the second brain. This is because the
Spine measures a length of 11 inches. It is adjoined with 12 nerves in the
brain. It has 31 other connecting nerves that extend throughout all parts
of the body. The Backbone informs the nerves about the changes that
take place in each part of our body. The Spine regulates the functioning
of entire nervous system.
Yogasana practice is centerd upon the Spine. Yogasana strenghthens the
Backbone and thereby regulates the working of the nervous system.

and take an oath to abandon this habit. Gradually
you can live without meat, by Guru’s blessings and
 Wash your hair and body daily, with cold water.
In present day world, people wash their hair once in
a week or a month only. This is not right. Body’s
excessive heat will be eliminated, only if you wash
your hair daily. If you bathe only up to the neck,
then your body’s heat gets stagnated in the head,
thereby triggering common cold. Therefore, Yoga
practitioners should develop the habit of taking head-
bath daily.

SPINAL CORD
Structure of Spinal cord
Spinal Cord is one of the most important parts of
the human body, and also it renders a good physique
to a man. The Spine loses its strength, because the
man exerts his strength on legs, which in turn is
transferred to discs in the Spinal Cord.
Unlike humans, all other animals walk using four legs.
Similarly humans are the only creatures that can lay
down flat on their Spine.
The physical and mental well being of the human
depends largely on his Spinal Cord. The Spinal cord
is located at the centre of the human body and
consists of 33 bones arranged vertically one below
the other.
There are 24 movable bones in the spine. As a man
grows, 4 bones join to form 2 immovable bones,
below the abdominal region.
The segments of the spine are as below:
 Cervical segment (region around the neck) – 7
bones
 Thoracic segment (region around the chest) – 12
bones
 Lumbar segment (region around the abdomen)
– 5 bones
 Sacral segment (A triangular segment, below the
abdomen) – 5 bones
 Caudal segment (tail like structure, at the base of
the spine) – 4 bones
Functions of the Spinal Cord
The Brain and Spinal Cord are connected by Nerves.
The roots of the nerves begin from the Spine, and
divides into multiple branches, to connect with the
muscles. Spine takes all our emotions to the Brain,
executes the orders of the Brain and takes them to
various muscles in our body.
The Spinal Cord acts as the connecting instrument
that connects the Brain to all parts of our body. The
Spine also controls internal organs such as heart,
lungs, digestive tracks and intestines.
The Spinal Cord is often referred to as the second
Brain that runs from the base of the Brain to the
base of the Back. It is 16 ½ inches long and has the
roots of 12 connecting nerves to the Brain. It has 31

Lower Back pain: The problem with the functioning of the Gonad gland results in Back pain. People
affected by excessive fear and kidney-related ailments suffer from back pain. Back pain is the signal given
by the body to indicate the damage in internal organs.
Mid Back pain: Mid back pain indicates the malfunctioning of small and large intestines.
Upper Back pain (Back neck): The damage in lungs or heart may result in upper Back pain. The six
important Chakras in human body (Muladhara, Swadhishtana, Manipuraka, Anahatha, Vissuddhi, Ajna)
have their centre in the Spinal Cord. Spinal cord is the basis, on which all the yoga asanas lean and the
asanas are meant to attain better spinal health.
There is a saying in Bhagwat Gita, ‘the one who practises Ashtanga yoga is above all those, who follow
different paths – Bhaktha, Gnanis and Karma yogis’. Thus it is vital that we practise Yoga asanas to
protect our Spinal Cord.

River Saraswati: Lost or Underground River?

The most popular Triveni Sangam at
Prayag is the confluence of the rivers
Ganges, the Yamuna and the mythical
Saraswati. Here, the Ganges and the
Yamuna can be identified by their different
colours….the water of the Ganges is clear,
while that of the Yamuna is Greenish in
colour. The third river, the mythical
Saraswati, is called invisible.
In the Triveni Sangam in West Bengal, in
the town of Tribeni in Hooghly district, the
river Bhagirathi Hoogly, one of the two
main distributaries of the Ganges, splits into
three more distributaries, which are called

symbolic presence at the confluence of
rivers in many places of India, although it is ‘materially missing’.
The deified River Saraswati has been mentioned in very ancient Vedic Scriptures like Rig Veda, as holy
river in the North-western India. Mahabharata has mentioned a river that disappeared in a town, presently
known as Sirsa in Haryana. Researches suggest that Rajasthan has not always been desert-like; it used to
be a fertile region with a river system, which led to the establishment of Mohenjodaro and Harappan civilization
around the area.
Mythological Reference to River Saraswati
River Saraswati was considered to be a manifestation of Goddess Saraswati (deity of knowledge, learning,
music creativity etc)
Lord Kartikeya (son of Lord Shiva and Parvati) was appointed the Commander of forces of celestial
beings (devas), near the bank of River Saraswati.
Lord Parashuram bathed in the river Saraswati, to repent for the sin of killing tyrant Kshatriya rulers.
King Pururava (mentioned in Mahabharata) met Urvashi, near the banks of River Saraswati. Mahabharata
war was fought near River Saraswati.
Mahabharata war was fought near River Saraswati.
When Ved Vyas was reciting Mahabharata to Lord Ganesha on the banks of river Saraswati, the sage
requested the river to flow gently, not making much noise. The mighty river did not heed, and Lord Ganesha
cursed the river that it would vanish in future.
River Saraswati is said to have come out of Lord Brahma’s head. Her divine beauty mesmerized the gods;
but she was not happy with that attention. She started flowing underground, to escape.
River Saraswati is said to have originated amid the Aravalli mountain range in Rajasthan. Believed to be a

Satellite images, Researches proclaim that holy River Saraswati is not a myth. It was a huge
river that died prematurely about 5000 years ago, and is now buried around 60 metres below
the ground, due to tectonic disturbances, impacting its Tributaries.
Tributary of the Alaknanda River, that has an origination point near Badrinath in Uttarakhand. Some pilgrims
still visit the Mana village in Uttarakhand (last Indian village on the borders of India and China) to
witness the ‘River Saraswati’ gushing through rocks, caves, until it disappears to merge with Alaknanda
River.
A Research says that the river flowed through same massive glaciers, that flooded many regions of Rajasthan
and Rann of Kutch. The marine tectonic activities submerged these regions, and the process of desertification
started, delinking the Saraswati river from its source.
Many researches were conducted to identify the River Saraswati with Ghaggar-Hakra system, Helmand in
Southern Afganistan etc., with not much concrete results. Another theory says that the diversion of the river
water through separation of the Tributaries led to the conversion of the river as disconnected lakes and pools;
ultimately it was reduced to a dry channel bed.
Therefore, the River Saraswati has not disappeared, but only dried up in some stretches.
