Lord Shri Krishna’s History 

Lord Vishnu reincarnated as the son of Devaki and Vasudev during the Dwapar Yuga. It was during the conclusive era of Dwapar Yuga and the cruel King Kans ruled over Mathura at this point of time. He wreaked havoc in the lives of all the citizens of Mathura. One day Kamsa was on his way to drop his sister Devaki at her in law’s house after she got married Vasudev, when an oracle narrated a premonition that the eighth child of Devaki and Vasudev will be the reason for his death and downfall. After hearing this, Kansa raised the sword to kill his sister, but Vasudev, who was truthful, promised that he would give away his children to Kansa, but Kansa did not accept any of his pleas and eventually he dragged both of them to the jail.

When did Shri Krishna take Birth? 

Time passed by and Kans’ atrocities towards Devaki and Vasudev kept increasing. He killed all the seven children of theirs. It has been said that time belongs to no one and it never remains the same. It was during the Rohini Nakshatra on Ashtami Tithi in the month of Bhadrapada, that it started raining heavily and darkness prevailed all over. During midnight Lord Krishna took birth from Devaki's womb. It is believed that God himself appeared in front Devaki and Vasudev and said that a girl was born in the house of Nand Baba. He said that the girl child is one of creations, so Vasudev can bring her to the prison and take krishna Ji to Nanda’s house. He also assured Vasudev that no obstacle will stop him on the way. After saying so, the Lord disappeared and all the guards of Kamsa went into sleep and the handcuffs tied around the hands of Vasudeva and the shackles of his feet cracked opened automatically and he embarked upon the journey towards Nand Baba's house with the newborn child. 

Lord Krishna’s Miracle 

On the way, the river Yamuna was flowing at a rapid speed and the great serpent Sheshnaag was covering Lord Krishna from getting drenched in rain. When the Lord's feet touched the river, then the water level of the Yamuna decreased at once and Vasudev swiftly went to Nand Baba's house and brought Yoga Maya from there. When he returned, the handcuffs and leg shackles automatically covered his hands and feet and the guards woke up from utter sleep. They informed Kans that Devaki gave birth to the eighth child. As soon as Kans arrived to kill the child, she disappeared into thin air and then another oracle was heard by everyone. It was stated that your reason for your destruction has taken birth elsewhere and your death in his hands will surely take place. This infuriated Kans further and he ordered the slaughter of all the newborns around.

Lord Krishna’s Peculiar Appearance

Kamsa repeatedly sent various kinds of demons to kill Krishna but all of them had to face defeat in the hands of the Lord. He killed all of them and also a demoness named Pootana. Everyone was surprised after witnessing the fate of the demons and how Krishna Ji managed to put an end to them. Krishna also rescued Kalia Nag and then went on to play flute and graze cows with his friends.

Little Krishna’s Playful Mischiefs

Ever since childhood, Lord Krishna used to fascinate everyone with his adventures and naughtiness. Sometimes, he used to break the matkas(earthen pot)of a Gopi, and the other time he had the habit of stealing Makhan(butter). Once Kanha ate soil in his childhood, and then his friends complained to his mother Yashoda. When Yashoda Maiya opened his mouth, she was astonished to see the entire universe in his mouth. 

Krishna’s Playful banter with the Gopis

Krishna playfully danced with the gopis and taught the essence of love to the whole world. This is the reason why the whole world believes in Lord Krishna and the festival of Janmashtami is celebrated with full fervor. He never discriminated against anyone and gave love to everyone while treating each and every person equally. Thus, he occupies a special place in everyone's heart.

The Death of Kans in the hands of Krishna

When Krishna and his brother Balarama grew up to become adults, Kansa sent his treasurer Akruor to Nanda Baba and fraudulently summoned the duo to Mathura so that he could kill him but Lord Krishna killed him while fighting a duel with him there. Ultimately, he liberated the people from Kans’ atrocities and after that, he went on to free his parents Devaki and Vasudev from Kans’ prison.

Lord Krishna: The Yogiraj

Lord Krishna is also known as Yogiraj. During the Mahabharata war which was taking place between the Kauravas and the Pandavas, Lord Shri Krishna preached the Gita to Arjuna in the field of Kurukshetra and that is why the Gita is most recognized holy text in the world as it is the only scripture which comes straight from the Lord's mouth. The Gita inspires everyone to do his/her Karma and teaches a person to stay on the right path.

Fast Kept to Get the Boon of Bright Progeny

On this day, Santan Gopal Mantra should be chanted, by whose grace one will definitely receive compassion from Lord Krishna and get the boon of a bright offspring. The Santan Gopal mantra is noted down below. 

oṃ śrīṃ hrīṃ klīṃ glauṃ devakīsuta govinda vāsudeva jagatpate

dehi me tanayaṃ kṛṣṇa tvāmahaṃ śaraṇaṃ gataḥ ।

ॐ श्रीं ह्रीं क्लीं ग्लौं देवकीसुत गोविन्द वासुदेव जगत्पते

देहि मे तनयं कृष्ण त्वामहं शरणं गतः ।

Chant this mantra with all your heart and after the recitation is done, perform an oblation with the same Mantra. Afterwards, offer Makhan Mishri to the Lord and distribute it amongst everyone as Prasad. Eventually, you will get the blessings of Lord Shri Krishna.

As a matter of fact, the birthday of Lord Krishna, which we celebrate as Janmashtami, gives a message to all humanity that we should do our Karma and love each other. We hope that Lord Krishna ends all the problems persisting in your life. Wish you all the very best of Shri Krishna Janmashtami!!

Sun Transit in Leo, These Zodiac Signs Get Lucky!

Sun transit in Leo brings major life-changing alterations! Read how the transit of the King of Planets, Sun, will impact your life.

The Soul of the Universe Sun is also known as the King of the Navagrahas. Its light provides life to all the living creatures and nurtures them to become strong and healthy. Therefore, Lord Sun is also hailed as Surya Narayan, because Lord Narayan is only known as the Nurturer of the world. The Sun is also the source of light for the Moon, as the Moon’s surface reflects light from it. In Vedic Astrology, the Sun signifies father, government and health. Hence, its benefic placement in one’s kundli leads to higher designation, good health and government job. Ruby or Manikya gemstone can be worn to strengthen its placement in a kundli

Planet Sun in a Kundli

The Sun is considered to be the “soul” of the Universe, as it is the primary source of light as well as life. Therefore, whenever the kundli of a native is examined, the placement and strength of the Sun are foremost analysed. This planet governs the East direction and rules over the zodiac sign Leo as per Vedic Astrology, which is the fifth sign in Kaal Purush Kundali.

Sun is considered to be fully exalted at 10 degrees in Aries and fully debilitated at 10 degrees in Libra. The occurrence of seasons is based on the movement of the Sun itself. Any planet coming closer to the Sun becomes combust at a certain degree, i.e. its influence becomes subjected to the Sun.

As this planet signifies royalty, fame and repute in a person’s life, therefore its placement is foremost evaluated in a kundli. The level of respect and confidence earned by a native can be analyzed by the position of Sun in his/her kundli. Also, its relation with other planets also impact the lives of natives.

If Sun seems weak or debilitated in one’s kundli, then Surya Yantra can be installed to strengthen or pacify it. As Sunday is ruled by the Sun, then this yantra must be worshipped according to the rituals early in the morning before 8 AM on the same day and placed in the house’s altar facing East. It must be regularly worshipped to attain desired results.

If Sun is placed favourably in a native’s kundli, then not only they share a happy relationship with their father, but their father too attains great fame and success in life. Also, you remain healthy and achieve a higher position in your workplace.

Time of Transit

Sun, which emits light to the world, has entered in its own zodiac sign Leo from Cancer on Saturday, 17 August 2019 around 12:47 afternoon and will remain posited here till Tuesday, 17 September 2019, around 12:43 afternoon. As this planet is posited in its own sign, its favourable impact will be seen on all other signs. However, Sun posited beneficially in a sign garners positive results and vice versa. Let’s read its effects and know what is up or you in the near future.

Chances of Job Promotion

On 17 August, Sun will enter Leo from Cancer zodiac sign and conjunct with Mars and Venus already present there. Sun and Venus are inimical in nature, whereas Venus and Mars are friendly. As a result, the conjunction of Sun-Mars will lead to fruitful results in the workplace and there are chances of job promotion. However the presence of Venus suggests that you should treat women well and remain away from any kind of gossip within the office. Those preparing for competitive exams for government job may attain success in their endeavours.

Rise in Women-Related Incidents in the Country

Sun and Mars come under the fire element, whereas planet Venus is feminine in nature and signifies beauty, femininity and luxury. Therefore, with Sun transiting in Leo, there can be a rise in the incidents taking place against women.

Sun Transit in Leo will Increase National Issues

Both Sun & Mars represents the Fire element. Amongst all planets, the Sun is said to be the King and Mars as the “Commander-in-Chief”. As a result, our country will remain successful in defeating its opponents during this period and take drastic measures against intruders and terrorists. However, an increase in fire-related incidents and accidents is likely to happen.

Know All About Your Nature & Behaviour According To Your Zodiac Sign

Effects of Venus in a Kundli

In Vedic Astrology, Venus represents femininity, and is the epitome of beauty and attractiveness. If Venus is strongly posited in one’s kundli, s/he remains prosperous and doesn’t miss out on luxuries and comforts. Venus is the significator of marriage, woman, enjoyment, luxury, decoration, artistic work, acting, literature etc. On the other hand, if the planet Venus is weak or inauspicious in one’s kundli, one lacks wealth, love and material comforts.

A native under the influence of Venus prefers eating good food and trying out new cuisines and focuses more on maintaining an attractive personality. Such natives love dressing up, wearing good clothes, eating favourite foods, going out, watching movies and much more. Such a person seems readily inclined towards gadgets such as mobiles, tabs, laptops, and vehicles, watches and glasses. Use rose and white colour often in case you wish to strengthen the position of Venus in your kundli. 

In case you are undergoing adverse situations, you can follow Venus remedies and chant Venus Mantra to get rid of its malefic effects. A weak Venus can result in the native suffering from venereal diseases and his/her marital life remains under the weather.

Apart from being an auspicious planet, Venus is friendly with the planets Mercury & Saturn but considers Sun & Moon to be his enemies. It remains posited in a sign for about 23 days and is known as the Morning Star. This planet is transiting on Friday, 16 August 2019, around 20:23 at night in Leo, which is governed by Sun and will move into Virgo on Tuesday, 10 September 2019, around 01:24 after midnight.

15 August: Indian Independence Day

15 August – every citizen will celebrate the Indian Independence Day! Discover the country’s future through its kundali. With this blog, on the 73rd anniversary of India’s independence, we are astrologically predicting what the future holds, in the upcoming year for our beloved country.

हिंदी में पढ़ने के लिए यहाँ क्लिक करें

15 August is a great day for all Indians because on this day we overthrew the rule of the Britishers becoming an independent country. Hence, we ever since that day in 1947, we celebrate 15 August as Independence day, every year. On this day, every citizen of the country hoists the tricolour flag and feels proud to be an Indian. This is our 73rd Independence Day, and each year we ponder upon our achievements in the past year while planning on doing better on the weak parts in the coming year. 

In the days past, we have achieved many significant accomplishments in various fields, ranging from becoming Nuclear powered to sending the Chandrayaan-2. Not only did this bring India almost at par with most of the top countries in the field of Science. There have been significant improvements in not only in the field of information technology as well as infrastructure. Numerous great plans like the Swachh Bharat Mission, Digital India, Mgnrega, Sukanya, and Sukanya Samriddhi Account, etc. are prevalent in the country. They have been very beneficial for the countrymen. 

However, on the flip side, the rapidly growing population, problem of clean drinking water, corruption, environmental imbalance, different types of pollution, economic inequality, communalism, etc. are the fields that still need work. We hope that soon, our beloved country will lead in all domains, moving ahead progressively, improving and developing further. While challenges will continue to be, just as before, however, they will be defeated with our strong will power. As a matter of fact, several other foreign countries will also bow before the unity and integrity of India.

15 August: What Does India’s Kundali Say On Its Independence Day

In order to discover what the future has in store for a person or country, we need to study their birth chart, because the planetary positions in the kundali mainly describe the same. Therefore, on India’s 73rd Independence Day, we have created India’s natal chart to determine what the coming year holds for Indians:

Independence was declared on 15 August 1947, at midnight (12:00); therefore, we have taken this as the birth details for India’s kundli and the following has been created:

In the kundali above, made after India attained independence on 15 August, some notable facts apparent are:

• India’s birth chart is of Taurus ascendant and the Lord of First house, Venus, is posited in the third house.
• No planet is retrograde, and only Venus and Saturn are debilitated.
• The zodiac sign of India is Cancer and its Lord, Moon is posited in Cancer, in the Pushya Nakshatra.
• Presently, India is undergoing the major period (mahadasha) of Moon and sub-period (antardasha) of Jupiter.
• Moon, which is the Lord of the third house, is posited in the same house and the nakshatra of Saturn. Thus, it will bear fruits of Saturn as well, who is already a yoga karaka planet for this kundali. Hence, it can be said that the Moon’s state will take India to great heights.
• Jupiter, Lord of eighth and eleventh house in the kundali, is posited in the seventh house and its own nakshatra, Vishakha; and is aspecting the tenth, twelfth, and second houses as well.
• It is evident from the aforementioned planetary positions that nothing will stop India’s ascent in the world as it progresses further. However, there will also be several challenges for our beloved country.
• Apart from this, taking a look at the yearly kundli, we can see that Libra ascendant is rising and Muntha is in the eighth house.
• The Lord of both, Yearly Ascendant Natal Chart (Varsh Lagna Kundali) and Muntha, is Venus that is posited in the tenth house.
• In the tenth house, Sun and Mercury placed in the inimical sign Cancer, are indicating challenges for the ruling party.
• The Muntha of the eighth house also creates several adverse conditions.
• In such a scenario, the present government may have to go through a variety of odd situations. Moreover, they may even face opposition in some places.

India Will Emerge Stronger And Powerful

Retrograde Saturn is transiting in the zodiac sign Sagittarius and is posited in the sixth house from the Moon sign. On the other hand, Jupiter is posited in the sign of Scorpio and is in the fifth house from the moon sign and twelfth house from Saturn. This indicates sound decision making. The retrograde Saturn is even more powerful now, as it now contains Chesta Bala. In such a situation, India will stand firm and face all the problems and challenges in front of it. As a result, it will emerge as an influential nation in the world. 

War Like Situations Can Occur

Saturn will remain in retrograde motion till 18 September. Where on the one hand, it will give India strength; on the other, it can also create a warlike situation. However, all opposing forces will be decimated with full power, and this will be a milestone in the country’s development.

India’s Finances Will Improve

The aforementioned planetary positions indicate that the government of India will work primarily on the Tax system of the country and make all efforts to strengthen our economy. In this, several policies will also be made to increase the capital base of all public sector banks even though the opposition makes strong objections to the same. 

Political Equations Will Change

There will be several changes apparent in the field of politics, which will be opposed by insiders, whereas some outsiders will talk about supporting the same. There will be a fierce clash between the ideologies of the opposition and the ruling party. There may be some delay in the work of prioritizing the national interest, but it will then attain speed after September. The boastfulness and bragging of national leaders can lead to many kinds of problems.

New Schemes In The Country’s Interest Announced

Regardless of some challenging situations possibly arising, the ruling party will announce many public-friendly schemes. Additionally, attempts will be made to ensure that they are duly followed. It is evident that they are working on some new schemes. However, it should be noted that specific tax schemes may be implemented which will be slightly problematic in the beginning.

Need To Be Wary Of Health Problems

Despite the numerous good things happening, one needs to remain cautious this year. There is a possibility of Indians suffering from contagious/infectious/transmissible diseases as well as other illnesses in the coming days. Due to this reason, the government will make efforts to improve the health issues, yet, despite that, the citizens will remain troubled.

A Big Leap In The Field Of Technology

Saturn will enter the zodiac sign of Capricorn at the beginning of the next year. That time will prove to be favourable for foreign trade in the country as well as substantial progress in the field of information technology is indicated. Jupiter will also be transiting through the zodiac sign Sagittarius, due to which Anti-national elements will be challenged, and efficient plans will be implemented. 

From this perspective, it is evident that India will move ahead on the path of progress, becoming one of the greatest countries out there. The youth of the country will get new opportunities, and the development of technology will be increasingly more than usual. New schemes pertaining to health and education will be implemented which will benefit all the countrymen.

This 15 August, on the 73rd Independence Day, let us all take an oath to make our country thriving, vibrant, and prosperous by making all possible positive efforts in this direction. Let us promise to make the country clean with Swachh Bharat Abhiyan, and follow the law and order. Only then will our developing country will finally become a developed country.

We Wish All Our Indian Brothers and Sisters A Happy 73rd Independence Day!
