Vinayaka Ganesha Chaturthi - Ensure Success In Endeavors

Today is the holy day of Vinayaka Ganesha Chaturthi. This day could be your opportunity to eliminate all the sufferings, miseries & troubles of your life. Celebrate Vinayaka Chaturthi, seek the blessings of the lord, take a step closer to prosperity and illuminate your mind.

Today is Vinayaki Shree Ganesh Chaturthi, a grand day when Lord Ganesha is glorified by all the ‘Ganapatyas’ (devotees of Ganesha). Son of Lord Shiva and Maa Parvati, Ganesha is known as the God of success and thus, worshiped before making any new beginning. Being the lord of knowledge, wisdom, education, and wealth, Ganesha is counted among the five prime Hindu Gods, whose idolism is equivalent to Panchayatana Puja. This Puja involves worshiping of Shiva, Vishnu, Ganesha, Surya, and Durga. On this sacred day of Vinayaka Ganesh Chaturthi, let’s unfold some facts about the Lord of the day.

Birth Of Ganesha

Once Maa Parvati was going for a bath. As she didn't want anybody to disturb her, thus, she told Nandi (Shiva's bull) to make sure that no one enters inside. Faithful Nandi was following Parvati's order sincerely, but suddenly Shiva arrived. As Nandi was very faithful to the Lord, he allowed him to go inside. This act of Nandi annoyed Parvati and she realized that there was no one loyal to her. She then took turmeric paste and created an idol of a child, after which she restored life into it. Parvati named the child as Ganesha and called him as her loyal son.

Story Of The Elephant Head

The next time when Parvati was going to take bath, she told Ganesha to guard the entrance and not to allow anyone to pass in. Being the loyal son, Ganesha was performing his duty. At the same time, Shiva arrived there, but was stopped by Ganesha at the door only. This annoyed the Lord as he wasn't aware that Ganesha was his own son. Shiva was offended to such an extent that he decided to fight with Ganesha. In extreme anger, the Lord thrashed Ganesha's head.

When Parvati came out and saw the whole act, she got enraged and decided to end the whole universe. She told Brahma that she will destroy the world, if his son's life was not restored back. Shiva got calmed by then and assured Parvati that he will bring Ganesha back to life. He ordered Lord Brahma, to bring the head of the first creature he meets that has its head toward North direction. While searching for such a creature, Brahma found the head of a powerful elephant. He returned back with it and gave it to Shiva. The Lord then placed elephant's head onto Ganesha's body. While giving back Ganesha's life, Shiva declared him as his son.

Debilitation Of Planets - How Do They Affect Us?

Sometimes, even the most auspicious planets of our birth-chart don’t benefit much. Ever wondered why? It is the debilitation of planets. Astrologer S N Rao is putting more light on this topic. Read on...

According to Vedic astrology, all planets get exalted and debilitated when placed in a particular sign. Significance is given to such planets, since they decide the delineation of the horoscope with regards to the level of impact in the life of the native. Exaltation and debilitation of a planet simply means that weather the strength of the planet is strong or weak in the birth chart. Any planet exalted in the birth chart means that the planet is very strong and is capable of giving implied results to its maximum to the native. It has got no relevance to the benefic or malefic impact on the native. An exalted planet does not mean that the planet is positive and will give benefic results. Similarly, a debilitated planet does not mean that the planet is malefic and will give negative results. This point may not clearly understood by many laymen and it creates confusion in their minds while analyzing the horoscope.

The basics have been clearly defined in Vedic astrology texts, which gives the exaltation and debilitation points of each planet. It is provided below for easy understanding:

While delineating the horoscope, it is important to determine whether the concerned planet is benefic or malefic in the birth chart. The nature of the planet, house, in which the planet is posited and the Karakatwa play an important role to understand how the planet will behave. The planet will give its result only if it is activated in the Maha Dasha/Antardasha/Pratyantar Dasha transit periods. Hence, all the above factors need to be clearly understood to decipher the result of the debilitated planet.

Example for Aries ascendant, Jupiter is the Lord of the 9th house and 12th house. Jupiter is a benefic planet as it rules the Trikona house. Jupiter is the Karaka (significator) for knowledge. When Jupiter is debilitated due to its placement in Capricorn, it influences the 10th house, house of Karma. When Jupiter is activated in the life of the native, it gives the native high integrity, ethical values, maturity, and disciplined as well as organized behavior at the workplace. However, it causes restriction to the native in rising ahead in his career and achieving a high position. He may be highly knowledgeable, but he may not be able to use his knowledge to its fullest at the workplace. The rulership of Jupiter over the 12th house gives him miserly qualities and sometimes he can make foolish decisions, which put a negative impact on his career, resulting in losses. He would like to work alone and disappears if placed in a large team.

Example for Gemini ascendant, Jupiter is the lord of the 7th house and the 10th house. Jupiter is a malefic planet, as it rules the Kendras. When Jupiter is debilitated due to its placement in Capricorn, it influences the 8th house. The Karakatwa of Jupiter to give knowledge makes the native highly intelligent. It makes the native curious to understand the mystic science and matters regarding life and death. The rulership of Jupiter over the 7th house makes the native independent in relationships. He would not be too emotional in love and relationships, would be more subtle in nature. However, he can be manipulative to get his work carried out by his partners. He would be lucky and get benefit in receiving wealth from joint investments, inheritance, business dealing, or partner. Due to the rulership of Jupiter over the 10th house, he would feel restrained at the workplace and would not get job satisfaction.

Example for Virgo ascendant, Mars is the lord of the 3rd house and the 8th house. Mars is a highly malefic planet. When Mars is debilitated in Cancer, it influences the 11th house. This placement makes the native highly ambitious. Mars is the Karaka for action. This placement reduces the physical action for the native. It gives the native calm strength and determined patience, to achieve his goals and targets. He is likely to be a schemer and plotter. He would not be able to have a large friend circle, as this placement would make him highly moody, like the phases of the Moon and tends to make him a critic. However, he would not take friendship lightly and be loyal & emotional to his trusted few friends. Leadership qualities are natural to him and it will help him in taking bold and risky decisions to achieve his objectives. He may not be able to understand the delicacies in life and would be too blunt in matters regarding relationships and raising children.

The Shadvarga charts are also very important for delineation, Navamsa chart in particular. If a planet is debilitated in the birth chart and exalted in the Navamsha chart, the planet needs to be treated as an exalted planet and results are modified accordingly.

In my experience, debilitation of a benefic planet reduces the good qualities of the planet. However, if there is a cancellation of the debilitation, the native achieves great heights in his life. The debilitation of a malefic planet causes many untoward incidences in the life of the native. However, if there is a cancellation of the debilitation, it improves the quality of life, which the planet is a Karaka of.

• Good Or Bad Days For Trading?

Vat Savitri Vrat - Bring Bliss & Contentment In Married Life

Today, i.e. on June 04 is Vat Savitri Vrat. This day is especially dedicated to married Hindu woman. If you are lacking that love and affection in your conjugal life, then Vat Savitri could be your key. Proceeds toward a successful and everlasting married life with Vat Savitri Vrat.

Vat Savitri, the day that adds longevity to husband's life, as per the Hindu calendar it falls on the Amavasya of Krishna Paksha, during the Jyeshta month. For every Hindu woman, Vat Savitri is highly sacred, she prays for the long life of her husband and seeks blessings to get pleasure of having a child. This is the day when women dress beautifully in traditional wear, adorn jewellery and makeup just like a newly married bride. Though Vat Savitri continues for a period of three consecutive days, but we will talk only about the main day.

Vat Savitri Mythological Episode

Vat Savitri got its name from the very popular story of Savitri and Satyavan. Savitri, the beautiful princess, was the daughter of king Aswapati. She chose Satyavan as her life partner. Though Satyavan was a prince, but due to exile, he was residing in forest with his blind father, Dyumatsen. As a perfect wife, Savitri left the luxurious life and started living in the forest with her husband and in-laws. She served her family with all her heart and devotion.

Once while cutting woods in the forest, Satyavan felt unwell and fell down from the tree. His soul left his body when he was in his wife's lap. Being the lord of death, Yamraj came there to took away Satyavan's soul. Savitri, who loved her husband unconditionally, pleaded to Yamraj not to take away Satyavan’s soul. She told the Lord that if he will separate her from her husband then she will also die. Moved by the devotion of Savitri, Yamraj returned back Satyavan's life. From that day, Savitri came to be known as Sati Savitri. Women observe fast on the day of Vat Savitri, in the same way as Savitri did.

Reason Behind Worshiping Vat Tree

Worshipping Vat tree is the most sacred religious aspect of this day. It is believed that trinity of Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva resides inside the Vat trees. Its root signifies Brahma, stem depicts Vishnu, and upper part represents Shiva.

Their trio fulfills the wishes and desires of every woman who observes Vat Savitri Vrat and worships this religious tree. As a part of Vat Savitri day tradition, a red colored sacred thread (Roli) is tied around the Vat tree, while offering prayers. After this ritual, women swallow root of the tree with water.

Vat Savitri Puja Vidhi At Home

Savitri brought back the life of his dead husband from Yamraj with the observance of Vat Savitri Vrat. To perform the rituals of Vat Savitri day, these simple steps should be followed with a pure mind and soul.

• Wake up early morning and take a holy bath
• Using mud, create effigies of Savitri, Satyavan, Lord of death, Yamraj.
• Worship these idols with sandalwood, saffron, incense sticks, fruits, and Roli (sacred red thread)
• Listen to the mythological story of Savitri and Satyavan, with pure devotion
• Begin observance of Vat Savitri Vrat

Vat Savitri Celebration Throughout The Country

This holy day is celebrated almost in every corner of the country. However, for the people of UP, Bihar, Orissa, and Delhi, Vat Savitri has immense importance. For the natives of South India, especially, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, Vat Savitri means Karadaiyan Nonbu.
