Ekadashi Tithi is dedicated to Lord Vishnu. There is a provision of observing fast and worshiping Lord Vishnu on Ekadashis of every month. Among these 24 Ekadashis, one very significant Ekadashi is ‘Aja Ekadashi’. According to Hindu calendar, Aja Ekadashi Vrat is observed on the eleventh day of the Krishna Paksha in Bhadrapada month. After the battle of Mahabharata, Lord Krishna told Yudhishthir to observe Aja Ekadashi Vrat and worship Lord Vishnu to get rid of all his sins.

Aja Ekadashi Vrat - Ancient Mythology

According to Brahma Vaivarta Purana, King Harishchandra, who is popular for always standing by truth, lost his kingdom and powers due to the sins committed by him in previous birth. Due to the adverse circumstances, he had to sell his wife and had to work on the cremation yard. During this unfortunate phase, he met Sage Gautam. He asked the reason of his bad condition and also for its solution. Sage Gautam advised him to observe Aja Ekadashi Vrat and worship Lord Vishnu to get rid of all his sins and to get back all the wealth and prosperity.

King Harishchandra observed the fast on the Ekadashi tithi of Krishna Paksha in Bhadrapada month (Aja Ekadashi), as suggested by the Sage Gautam. He performed vigilance (Jagran) throughout the night and worshiped Lord Vishnu to get rid of his sins.

It is said that by observing this Vrat, King Harishchandra’s got relief from his sins and he also got back his wife and son. Also, he got back his lost kingdom, name, and fame. He lived a very happy life thereafter and achieved salvation (Moksha) after death.

Aja Ekadashi Vrat - Rules To Perform Vrat

The rituals followed on Aja Ekadashi are similar to the ones followed on the other Ekadashis. Let us read about these rituals (Puja Vidhi) in the below mentioned points:

• Wake up early in the morning and take bath
• Worship Lord Vishnu with pure heart and soul
• Read and listen Aja Ekadashi Vrat Katha (story)
• Avoid eating rice and grams
• Honey should not be consumed on this day, as it decreases the effect of the Vrat

Most Miraculous Event Of This Millenium Is Happening This September!

Astrology had witnessed this conjunction some 2500 years before when Buddha was born. Exactly before Buddha’s birth, some 2500 years ago; Krishna was born. Who is coming this time? Read Pt. Deepak Dubey’s special analysis.

Time for Mahavatar, the ultimate manifestation, has come. The most miraculous event of this millenium, such a conjugation of planets happens once in thousands of years. This wonderful day is coming in September. Among all the children born on this day, ‘One’ will be the Mahavatar. Such a planetary condition occurred when Lord Rama and Krishna were born. Even when Buddha was born, stellar placement was like this. In some matters, this Yoga is much better than the Yogas formed at the birth of Buddha, Krishna, or Rama.

हिन्दी में पढ़ने के लिए यहाँ क्लिक करें…

As per the available facts, the planetary positions in the birth chart of Lord Rama was as follows:

• Exalted Jupiter
• Exalted Mars
• Exalted Saturn
• Exalted Sun
• Exalted Venus
• Moon in own sign
• Rahu-Ketu either exalted or in own sign (With heresy, Rahu is considered exalted in Virgo and Ketu in Pisces.)
• Mercury is neither in own sign nor in exalted sign

Similarly, Krishna’s birth chart is as follows: (Scholars have variance with the beliefs related to Lord Krishna’s birth chart.)

As per B. V. Raman:

• Exalted Moon in ascendant
• Sun in own sign with Jupiter in Kendra (center)
• Mercury in own sign
• Debilitated Mars, but exalted aspect over ninth house
• Saturn in seventh house, being the Lord of destiny (ninth house) and tenth house
• As per Jyotish Ratnakar:
• Moon, Sun, and Mercury are same as B. V. Raman’s birth chart
• Mars and Saturn are sitting in own sign

As per Dr. Bhojraj Dwivedi:

• Exalted Moon in ascendant
• Sun and Mercury with Leo in Kendra (fourth house)
• Exalted Jupiter in Cancer
• Exalted Saturn in Libra
• Exalted Rahu in Virgo
• Exalted Ketu in Pisces
• Mars in Scorpio i.e. own sign

One thing that is similar in all these versions of Krishna’s birth chart is - the good position of Moon. Along with this, in the birth charts of Ram, Krishna, and Buddha; the relation between the conjunction or aspect of Jupiter and Saturn signifies their excellence in social as well as spiritual knowledge. Additionally, Mars and Moon are forming Drishti Yoga, which means the grand combo of valour as well as kindness.

In the time wheel, whenever most of the planets get exalted or direct, even constellations become auspicious, days and dates are also holy; the embodiment of the ultimate power arrives on the earth. Such an event occurs once in thousands of years, and the child born under these circumstances changes the world. The entire world worships such a being and he/she direct the path for this world. This one person shows the path to those who are lost. Krishna has said:

यदा यदा हि धर्मस्य ग्लानिर्भवति भारत ।

अभ्युत्थानमधर्मस्य तदात्मानं सृजाम्यहम्॥

परित्राणाय साधूनां विनाशाय च दुष्कृताम्।

धर्मसंस्थापनार्थाय सम्भवामि युगे युगे॥

(Chapter 4, Gita)

Meaning:

O Bharat, whenever religious principles will come to an end, 

And unethical activities will take a toll; I recreate myself.

For the well-being of saintly people, the elimination of devilish people, 

And for the establishment of religion again; I will keep on taking birth.

Approximately after 2500 years of Krishna’s birth, Lord Buddha came to this world. Once again approximately 2500 years have been passed. Earth is screaming due to pain of sins and crimes. Once again, planets are going to show their effect. 

What is this grand conjunction of planets? What is that day and date? What is that time? What will be the ascendant sign of Mahavatar? Read all this in my next article, which will come on August 22, 2014 (Friday).

Weekly Stock Market Prediction(18/08/2014 – 22/08/2014)

Weekly planetary position: 

During the week, Moon will be transiting in Taurus & Gemini. Jupiter & Venus in Cancer. Sun & Mercury in Leo. Ketu in Pisces. Lord Saturn & Mars in Libra. Lord Rahu in Virgo. Pluto in Sagittarius. Neptune in Aquarius & Uranus in Pisces. 

FOLLOWING SECTORS WILL BE RECEIVING ASTROLOGICAL SUPPORT:

OFFSHORE / MINING sector will be getting astrological support. Buy Dolphin, Duke Offshore, ABAN Offshore, Jindal Drilling, NMDC, SSLT & Deep Industries etc on dip.

CEMENT sector will be receiving astrological support. Buy Ambuja Cement, Indian Cement ACC, Ultratech Cement & JK Cement etc on every decline.

AUTO sector will also be receiving astrological support. Buy Maruti, M&M, Eicher Moltor, TVS Motor etc on dips.

FOOD PROCESS sector will also be receiving astrological support. Buy Jubiliant Food, Britannia, Nestle, Heritage Food, Milk Food & LT Food etc on dips. This sector was predicted last week also & during the week – Nestle, Britannia, Milk Food, Heritage Food & Tasty Bites went up by 6.8- 18%.

PHARMA sector will continue getting strong astrological support. Buy Sun Pharma, Ranbaxy, Wockhardt, Divis Lab, Glenmark, Aurobindo Pharma, Brookes & Biocon on every decline. This sector was predicted last week also & during the week – Sun Pharma, Ranbaxy, Glenmark, Shasun, JB Chemical, Abott & Arvind Remedies moved up by 7-40%.

HOSPITAL sector will also continue getting strong astrological support. Buy Apollo Hospitals, Agarwal Eye, Fortis Health & Indraprastha ect on dip. This sector was predicted last week also & during the week – Dr Agarwal, Indraprastha & Apollo Hospital moved up by 8-13%.

Every year with commencement on new Samvat (Hindu New Year), astrologically, based on planetary position, certain new sectors start getting astrological support & outperform, while others remain laggard. Based on our experience of over 14 years as Financial Astrologer, stocks of such sectors outperform resulting in exorbitant gains irrespective of market behavior, either bull market or bear market.

During last samavat 2070 among other sectors - PHARMA & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY sectors were sectors which received strong astrological support & out performed.. For example in Pharma sector following stocks have appreciated over 100%.

Suven Life Science (279%), Aurobindo Pharma (270%), Caplin Lab (233%), Granules India ( 213%), Alembic ( 204%), Shilpa (205%), Astec Life ( 198%), ABL Biotech (197%), Indico Remedies ( 194%), Nath Bio Genesis ( 174%), Ajanta Pharma ( 158%), Elder Healthcare (153%),Sterling Bio ( 150%),Kopran (148%), Alembic Pharma ( 130%), Lincolin Pharma ( 107%), Shasun Pharma ( 106%),Sequent science (106%), Natco9 Pharma (101%) & Fulford ( 100%) & undernoted stocks in INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY sector have moved up by 57% to over 300% :-

Tata Elxsi (320%), Persistance System (158%), Vakrange (131%), Hexaware (130%), Infinite Computer (122%), Mind Tree (121%) HCL Infosystem (122%), HCL Technologies (118%), Tech Mahindra (116%), Geometric (109%), Wipro (94%), Infosys (76%), TCS( 57%).

Relaxo Footwear moved up by 207%, Liberty Shoes by 140% & Mirza Internatinal by 105% in LEATHER sector, which was also getting strong astrological support during last Samavat.

Always be very cautious, when some main planets i.e. Rahu, Ketu, Jupiter & Lord Saturn are changing their houses. It may be that certain sectors which were continuously getting support for long time may stop receiving support due to change in position by above planets & stocks of those sectors starts coming down, resulting in losses. This is common reason, why most people loss money.

One should trade only in the stocks of that sectors which are getting very strong astrologically support.

Sectors which get very strong ASTROLOGICAL support are not normally affected by downfall in the market.
