Mala: Rosary To Connect With God

Mala (Holy Rosary) always catches attention when someone holds it in hands. Do you want to know why people chant Holy Mantras while keeping that Mala in hand? We will tell you. A Mala is very important while chanting because it holds the power of the Mantras that you chant. Read further to know more…

Mala is the tool which holds the energy that you create while chanting Holy Mantras. It is one of the ways to connect with God and attain mental peace as well as contentment. Let’s first start with knowing the power of Mala, the holy beaded garland.

Mala: A Source To Attain Tranquility

Mala means, "Rosary" or "Garland." A more direct translation is "heavenly garland." A Mala is a garland made of beads or you can also describe it as strand of beads. Since long, malas are in use for meditation, offering prayers and chanting mantras. As per the Hindu customs, a Mala should be held in the right hand. It is wrapped in the middle finger and the thumb flicks the bead one by one. Calmness is felt when the beads pass over the ring finger while chanting Mantras. 

Significance of 108 Beads

Generally, a Mala consists of 108 beads. This number ‘108’ has multiple meanings. Some of them are as follows: 

• 12 zodiac houses x 9 planets = 108
• 27 constellations x 4 padas (parts) = 108
• Upanishads Scriptures of the Vedas = 108

Therefore, we can say that 108 beads represent the whole universe. 

109th Bead of Mala, The Guru

The additional 109th bead knotted to the Mala is known as Sumeru, Guru bead or Meru bead, to name a few. This 109th bead is never crossed while chanting the Mantras, to show respect to the Guru. Instead, it is turned around to begin the next round.

Rudraksha Mala

Rudraksha beads are very powerful and differ from other beads in the manner that they are the only beads made from the tears of Lord Shiva. Rudraksha Mala is used by the devotees to please Lord Shiva. It is said that wearing this Mala helps in accomplishing any pending or incomplete task. Possessing Rudraksha acts as a safety shield against various diseases and health issues.

It can also be used to please Lord Vishnu and Lord Rama. Tulsi Mala has enormous spiritual and medicinal properties.

Singh Saab The Great: Fate At Box-Office

 हिन्दी में पढने के लिये यहाँ क्लिक करें।

‘Singh Saab The Great’ is going to hit the screens on November 22, 2013. Numerologist, Pt. Hanumaan Mishra gives his views and reading on the success possibilities of “Singh Saab The Great”. The trailers of the movie are already a hit over the internet. Still the question is – will the movie be able to rule the hearts of the audience?

The magic of Sunny Deol, Director Anil Sharma and Shaktiman Talwar’s trio was earlier seen in the movie ‘Gadar-Ek Prem Katha’. Once again they are back with ‘Singh Saab The Great’. Fans of Sunny Deol are very happy with the promos of the movies. You can easily figure out the excitement with the number of likes the promos are getting on YouTube. The reason of so many likes could be Sunny’s role in the movie. Once again he is seen in the role of a Sardar fighting with the enemies. The film is releasing on 22nd November, 2013. Actors playing main roles are Sunny Deol, Amrita Rao, Prakash Raj, Urvashi Rautela, Johnny Lever, Sanjay Mishra, Anjali Abrol, Shabaaz Khan and Rajat Kapoor. 

Director Anil Sharma’s movie “Singh Saab The Great” is releasing on 22nd November, 2013. Though the performance of every actor is important, but its fate is dependant only on two people. The first one is the Director himself and second is Sunny Deol. Therefore, the luck of this movie depends on the birth dates of these two.

As birth details of Anil Sharma are not known; therefore we have to use his Namank only. Anil Sharma’s Namank is 8, which is also the Namank of the movie. Therefore, the Namank of both the Director and film are common, which is indicating a good response. If we talk about year numbers, we can take two numbers - 5 & 6. 6 comes by taking the movie name in compatibility with the year and 5 comes by taking the Director’s name in compatibility with the year. Whether we consider year number as 6 or 5, both are giving positive results. Hence, this movie can undoubtedly prove favorable for Anil Sharma. His efforts might get appreciation from the viewers.

As the movie is releasing on 22nd November, whose Moolank and Sampoornank are 4 and 3 respectively. The number 8 shares a cordial bond with the number 4, whereas it has a neutral bond with the number 3. Therefore, here also the results are looking better than just average. In short, possibilities of Anil Sharma’s efforts are quite high.

Discussing Sunny Deol’s luck to rate the movie is also important. His Moolank is 1 and Bhagyank (Destiny Number) is 5. 8, the Namank of the movie has a friendly bond with both. Therefore, favorable results are foreseen. Movie is releasing on 22nd November, 2013 whose Moolank is 4 and Sampoornank is 3. Sunny’s Moolank 1 is not friendly with 4; whereas with 3, it is friendly. On the other hand, Bhagyank 5 shares neutral bond with both 3 and 4. Therefore for Sunny, the movie holds mixed results. Hence, if this movie releases on 22nd November, it may not prove to be a big hit. However, it may be worth for watching at least once. I will give this movie 2.5 stars out of 5.

What Is KB & How Is It used?

Shri K. Baskaran (KB), the founder of Bhaskara Astrology, has exhibited (without doubt) a valiant effort to find out the unexplored hidden truths from Vedic astrology to KP Astrology, for his Sub-Lord & Cuspal Interlinking Theory as further refinement in the field of Astrology.

In KP system, our revered Guruji Late Prof. K S Krishnamurthy pioneered a new method of Astrological Predictions by way of his discovery of cuspal beginnings on a scientific basis. He has divided every star by replacing the traditional classification of 4 Padas or quarters numbering 108 in the orderly manner of Vimshottari Dasha System. But, this traditional approach does not satisfy the growing thirst of knowledge, as the modern scientific human mind was very keen on predicting the complex events of life. Thus, he identified 249 divisions of 27 stars and named them as SUBs through his dedicated further discovery. KP method was an immense improvement in the field of field of Astrology.

The spirit of enquiry aroused by Prof. KSK has led to further research in the same line. Shri K. Baskaran (KB) has carried out one such research in respect of the starlord of the sublord of various cusps, their interlinking with other cuspal points, the result they indicate with great detail.

It is clear that Shri K. Baskaran has adopted Placidus house system, as well as Shri KSK’s Dasha, Bhukti, Anthara concepts from these points his approach clearly indicates that it is new and he is the pioneer in this venture of Cuspal Interlinking Theory. (KB Theory or Baskara Theory). 

Salient Features Of Bhaskara Theory

1. The author’s way of handling the 12 houses within a house as inbuilt, and further the same 12 houses are reclassified as Lagna (Ascendant) related and Lagna unrelated matters which are totally amazing and outstanding creativity from his master mind.
2. The house significators for nodes Rahu & Ketu are also defined explicitly which is an exception from other systems of Astrology.
3. His way of handling the qualities of Kaalchakra with reference to the Characters and Elements of the Natural Zodiac is a model to all other followers in the System of Astrology.
4. Distinguishing quality of birth Moon and the mobility of Moon along with DBA.

Hence, Bhaskara Theory has its roots and has emerged from Tradition as well as Meena R. Gopalakrishna Rao’s Kalamsa, Placidus method of house division, Newcomb Ayanamsa, Shri KSK’s research, Seshagiri’s moving Moon and many more, all have had a role in shaping Bhaskara Astrology.

As this is an enhanced version of KP, Baskara theory will not only be helpful to all KP followers but to all those who are interested in giving accurate predictions.

Basic Concepts Of KB

Though certain rules are applicable before modifying the prediction to add colours, following points are the crux of his theory, during the application of cuspal interlinking:

1. Find out the cuspal beginning of all the 12 houses.
2. Consider “Kalamsa” or Bhukti Lord of concerned house. Let us say House No. 5 for child-birth.
3. Find out the star-lord and Bhukti Lord (sub-lord) for the concerned Bhukti Lord. (Here in our case, it is for sub-lord of 5th cusp). Presume it is Sun. Don’t go for its houses of ownership and residence. Instead, search for those cuspal points in which Sun is posited either as star-lord or sub-lord (Bhukti Lord).
4. Note down these house/cusps.
5. Are they 1, 2, 3, 5, 9 & 11 to 5th cusp? If “YES”, child-birth is assured.
6. Are they 4, 6, 7, 8 & 10 to 5th cusp? If “YES”, child-birth is either denied or delayed.
7. It is fate. It is called as Inter Cuspal links, the crux of this theory.
8. In natal chart, presume Jupiter, the Dasa Lord is posited either in the star or sub of the concerned “fifth cusp – Bhukti Lord”. If fate is favourable (Inter-Cuspal links), then the client will have a child. In the span of 16 years of Jupiter Dasa, whenever the Dasa Lord Jupiter transits either in the Star or Sub of the concerned fifth cusp Bhukti Lord, it would materialize. It is mind. It could otherwise be called “Inter Cuspal Links”.
9. By confirming what fate had assured and then correlating the same with the mind, we can predict for Dasa, a Bhukti, and Anthara or a Sookshma period. 
10. This is the crux of Bhaskara Theory (about Fate and Mind). It will work as per certain derived rules. 

Based on the given rules, it is easier for any type of prediction. Hence, this Baskara theory of astrology is applicable for everyone and is also suitable for prediction of every department.

Feng Shui For Positivity At Home

Feng Shui for positivity at home will give you the insight on how Feng Shui can be used to convert your home into a place of immense positive energy. This ancient art called Feng Shui will help in maintaining the right balance in the energies of your surroundings to assure better health and good fortune. 

Feng Shui: The Unobserved Power

Feng Shui is an ancient Chinese technique, which teaches us that everything is controlled by cosmic energy, and we are living with the process of continuous energy exchange with everything around us. Therefore, it is always good to build up a Feng Shui home that fills up the atmosphere with positive energy all around. Feng Shui is believed to utilize the energy from water and air in order to bring positivity at home and in life. 

Feng Shui is particularly connected with a process of arranging the objects and elements around us, so as to give birth to a positive and pleasant flow of refreshing energy in the surroundings. There is immense popularity and following for ‘Feng Shui for positivity at home’ around the globe. This is for the reason that implementing this set of principles at your home is believed to bring good fortune and good health. This procedure is also believed to create harmony in life of an individual.

The Way Feng Shui Helps

Everything in our surroundings is all about energy. The Feng Shui principles came up with a simplified way of managing that unseen energy in a perfect manner. By this way, it will get easier for the individuals to collect positive energy to lead a better life, free from all the negativity. Feng Shui includes a wide variety of helpful and marvelously effective tips for home loaded with all the positivity. It is all based on the fact that, if you live in a Feng Shui home, your own energy will certainly become happy and healthy.

Facts To Be Kept In Mind

Before getting started with the implementation of Feng Shui, one should be clear about the fact that Feng Shui is not just about altering the physical environs, but it also involves the transformation of an individual from within. One should follow these highly effective Feng Shui techniques to make sure that all the negativity has vanished away so that the required positivity could flow in. Let’s read it out:

1. The very first thing that you have to do is to remove all the clutter present in your home. Dispose-off all the articles that you don’t want to see anymore at your home. This cleaning process might consume some of your valuable time and efforts, but it will definitely lend a hand in bringing the required positivity in your dwelling.

2. Keep a strict watch on the main entrance of your house. Make sure that there should be no clutter of slippers or shoes, as this can bring sickness in house. In accordance with the principles of Feng Shui, positive energy flows inside with the wind and it might carry the smell (negative energy) of those shoes, which brings sickness in the house.

3. It is good to keep a fish aquarium at home. It can prove out to be really advantageous for a better fortune, but only if it is placed in a strategically suitable area. A correctly located aquarium can actually bring in fortune and good luck. But, if the aquarium is located on a wrong position, it can give birth to a lot of problems such as facing bankruptcy, court cases and a lot more negativity, says Feng Shui. 

4. Moreover, Feng Shui suggests to have a water fountain inside your house. It should be located in the right position to magnetize the things that you need the most.

5. Try not to place any kind of mirrors opposite your bed. The reason behind is that mirrors are believed to invite a third person in the life of a couple. Mirrors are also believed to cause conflicts in the married life.

6. It is advisable to construct a solid wall behind your bed, as it is the sign of good rest. You will be able to experience undisturbed sleep at night. So, try and follow this Feng Shui rule so that you can wake up fresh and energetic.

7. Avoid keeping marble table in the dining room. This is believed to bring up a hectic work schedule.

8. Make sure that there is no washing machine, refrigerator, toilet or wash basin placed opposite the kitchen stove. The reason behind is that the water and fire elements might clash, resulting in differences within the family members.

It would be exchanging houses with Mars when it would traverse to Scorpio. Interestingly, Sun would be occupying Scorpio (Mars’ sign) and Mars is currently occupying Leo (Sun’ sign). Mars would traverse to Virgo (Mercury sign) on 28/11/13.

The short period from 17/11/13 to 28/11/13 may experience some good changes. In such a situation, there is a rise in the energy flow. An individual may like to take up some new/fresh initiatives or wind up a pending task. Not to forget that Sun and Mars are natural friends and they complement each other very well in Astrology. An initiative taken up in such a phase would result in success and positive results. Mars would be occupying the powerful and positive energy from the Sun and behave like it; and Sun would get more thoughtful and watchful in actions like Mars in Scorpio. Favors from the government, boss/superiors, people in authority (or something like that) can be expected. There may also be favors from and to your younger siblings.

Though this exchange is happening only for eleven days, yet such conjunction does not happen every year. All the newborns during this period would have this powerful exchange in their horoscopes.

Once Mars moves out of Leo and enters Virgo, it would experience an exchange in houses with Mercury. Even this exchange would be a good one. Mercury would enter Scorpio on 02/12/13; and by this date Mars would already be occupying Virgo. Such a Mars would behave more diligently and intelligently in different situations. Likewise, Mercury would invite the zeal and channelized energy from the Mars to give a final blow to wind up the pending tasks. There would be favors from and to siblings, relatives through the maternal side, favorable results in academics and improved concentration in studies. Likewise, there may also be a rise in probability of number of successful attempts in some activity and improved ability to put forward an idea in your own words to others.

These two conjunctions invite initiative as well as action to wind them up successfully. Make full use of this period recite “Shri Vishnu Sahastranaam” to make this period auspicious for yourself.

Guru Nanak Jayanti: Celebrating Birth-Anniversary of A Great Reformer

On the auspicious day of Guru Nanak Dev Jayanti 2013, the preachings and teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji require sincere listening. A Guru is always recognized for his preachings and teachings. A spiritual opportunity would be skipped if Guru's sayings are not deeply understood and just chanted ritualistically.

Celebrating The Birth-Anniversary Of A Great Spiritual Figure 

India observes 'Gurpurab' or 'Guru Nanak Dev Jayanti 2013' on 17th of November. It is a day, which honors Guru Nanak Dev Ji, as he was born on this day. He was the first of the 10 Sikh Gurus. All the Sikhs around the world visit Gurdwaras to show gratitude toward the Almighty. The most impressive celebrations are witnessed at Golden Temple, Amritsar, Punjab. This Gurdwara (temple) is considered to be the most sacred place for Sikhs. Among the anniversaries of 10 great Sikh Gurus (Prakash Divas), the most important are the ceremonies held for the founder of this religion, Guru Nanak Dev Ji.

The life of a Guru is a boon to the believer and turns out as a message in itself.

As the 'Baani' or 'Word' of a spiritual figure turns out as a sacred guide for the devotees, so did the sayings of 'Guru Nanak Dev Ji'. He was considered as the premier Guru of Sikh Panth, got immortalized in the holy scripture of Sikhism, recognized as 'Shri Guru Granth Sahib'. 

Teachings By The Premier Sikh Guru

The origin of Sikh religion lies in the social and religious teachings of 'Guru Nanak Dev Ji'. He preached that God was all-pervading and did not stick to any sort of ritualism or patterns for worshiping. He was a true idol of faith. Guru Nanak Dev Ji was a perfect human figure, as he aroused the nation from an inactive and absentminded condition to the consciousness of God. He was the supreme teacher of the world, as he brought forward the real knowledge and did justice with his principles.

3 Main Teachings Of The Guru 

Listed below are the three main teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji: 

Naam Japo: It is related to the eternal devotion toward the Almighty. The great Guru always believed in warbling the Holy Name, and therefore remembering God all the time.

Vund Chako: He always believed in sharing and caring for others, particularly with the ones who are in need.

Kirat Karo: He always believed in earning an honest living by making sure that no deed leads to exploitation or cheating.

The Foundation Of His Teachings 

The root of his teachings was simply ‘the equality of humans’ without the distinction of caste and creed. He preached against the bias and injustice that took place because of caste, status and things related to it. The Guru not just preached these concepts, but also adopted practical measures to achieve the same. He targeted the reasons and people causing violence in the society. This great reformer strongly objected to the brutal activities took place in the society.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji always believed in ‘the equality of men and women’. He had great respect for females; and uplifted the position of women by the way of spreading a message, which is mentioned below. 

"From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. Woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. When his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. So, why call her bad? From her, Kings are born. From woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all. O Nanak, only the True Lord is without a woman." 

Guru Nanak Dev Ji was recognized for his teachings about worshiping one God. He always encouraged a healthy, peaceful and modest way of living. Equality of women and equality of all the human beings is what he taught his followers about.
