Bhāgya Bhāva and mantra continued from Śukra 02-002
Guruji Sanjay Rath: When beneficial planets are in 3rd house, good luck comes from right ear, or right hand. This is peculiar dictum. If śubha graha are in 3rd house, they give dṛṣti on the 9th house. Dr. B V Raman gave high importance to this planet. He is also from tradition. It is commonly believed that malefic graha in 3rd house, is a good combination. But me and Dr B V Raman are telling something contrary. Why? The difference is that if Śubha graha are in the 3rd house, you get something without fighting for it. When Pāpa graha are in the Sahaja bhāva, you have to fight to get something. Earlier is luckier because you are getting it without fighting. Like, Student has Mercury in 3rd house, so, she gets everything without fighting for it, i.e., from friends, colleagues, etc significations of Budha. 3rd house’s first drekkāna is ears. When benefic graha are in 3rd house, its gemstone worn in form of a ring, proves to be very auspicious. It is generally said by other astrologers that if malefic planet is in 3rd house and is strong, will be very good, particularly in war or fight. But I have contrary belief on this. Who told you to fight or to go onto war? It is not good to fight. It is not Śubha Bhagya. If you go to war, or you fight, you will beat someone, you will hurt someone. That is not good. Is it good to beat someone? 3rd house is your hand. Use it in karma, that is Śubha. 3rd house is guru-upadeśa. 9th house is not Guru-Upadeśa. 3rd House is guru-Upadeśa. Bṛihaspati is very auspicious in 3rd house. It is Maraṇa Kāraka for guru to be in 3rd house, but it is most auspicious. Maraṇa Kāraka means that the native will follow his guru’s teaching even in death. Moon is best in 3rd house. This person should drink a glass of water before commencing an important work. That work will be automatically be done. If Shukra is in 3rd House, it is good. Budha is also good in 3rd house. We are not talking about lordship of 3rd house.
(A student says that he has Rahu in Lagna, and thus, it has dṛṣti on 9th house)
Guru Sanjay Rath says: It can give sudden fluctuations in finances. You should make Guru very strong. Rahu also gives false hope. So, to be prevented from false hope because of Rahu’s influence on 9th house, Brihaspati should be strengthened. Rahu’s influence on 9th house creates false hopes and false expectations. When somebody tells you something, straightaway discount the expectations by 50 percent. Because you have Rahu in Lagna, you don’t know when it will get activated. So, when you make your guru strong, it will not happen. How to make guru strong? It can be done through a mantra for a guru form. Where is guru, and with which planet? (the student tells that his guru is in 2nd house). So, you should do any Dakṣiṇāmūrti mantra, or any Dattātreya mantra, or any Vyāsa deva mantra. When you get such a mantra and do it, you will get good results.
Student 8: Karka is Lagna, 9th house has no planets in it, and Guru is in 6th house. Mangal is in 3rd house and so, Mangal has dṛṣti on 9th house.
Guru Sanjay Rath continues: Mangal is in 3rd house. Pāpa graha is in 3rd house, thus there must have been a struggle in life. (the student agrees). So, you should take a mantra of Shiva. Otherwise, Mangal will not be easily appeased; he will make you struggle in everything. You will get nothing that easily. He will make you fight for everything. You will be tired from all this. (during this, the student says that she had a court case). See, how this Mangal in 3rd house, gave court case. Even a little aspect of Mangal on 9th house, has the power to tilt the Bhagya. Guru’s powerful dṛṣti can bring a little peace. But the real remedy is in Shiva. Om Namah Shivaya is better mantra than “Namah Shivaya”. Om Namah Shivaya washes away the papa. With Om Shivaya Namah, Shiva takes care of you. If you doing Om Namah Shivaya, you are washing away your sins. Do Om Namah Shivaya is in morning. Do Om Shivaya Namah in the evening. Both are different. In day, Surya is powerful, and the person should do karma yoga. Hence do Om Namah Shivaya in day. In night, Moon is more powerful, and is the time of being with family, love and care. So, at that time, you should become dearer to Shiva. Do Om Shivaya Namah in night. Both are different. The mantra Om Namah Shivaya, burns your ṣadripu. The mantra Om Shivaya Namah finishes enmity. 6th house has two things, ṣadripu and enmity. This is from Thirumantram. That is a beautiful book.
Student 9: Vriṣchika is Lagna, Mangal is in 3rd house, 9th house has no planets, while the lord of 9th house is in 5th house along with Shani. Guru is in 10th house.
Guru Sanjay Rath: 9th house has no planets in it. Mangal is aspecting 9th house. He is strong warrior, there is no doubt in it. Because that is an exalted mars. Who should he worship? 9th lord is Moon, so, he should worship Shakti. The form of mother Shakti, will be determined by adjoining graha, Shani. This form is Kali Ma, as Shani signifies Kali Ma.
Student 10: Mīna Lagna, Moon is exalted in 3rd house.
Guru Sanjay Rath: Moon is exalted in 3rd house. That’s fantastic. Before commencing any work, drink some water. That work will not have any obstacles. However, if Mangal is in 3rd house, light a lamp before going out of home to do any work. Bhagya means protection. Mangal is never good in 9th house, or its aspect on 9th house is never good. It definitely gives struggles. Things like, property disputes, court cases, are given by such a mars. Because a lot of time, money and energy is wasted in these things. ultimately, life is time. Make the best of Time. If you keep wasting time in fights, court cases and disputes, from where will the Bhagya will come? I am also a Mīna Lagna, my father was involved in so many court cases, half of his life, was spent in court cases. It is bad luck. I say to him, what did you get after winning these court cases? Life is wasted. Fights with everyone around you, is these any good in this? what do you get by all this? Why do you want all this? We want love from everyone. So, this Mangal should be pacified, as much as it needs to be. Go to war only in one condition, if all the path to peace are blocked. Do you know that Krishna begged for peace before the start of the great war of Māhābhārata. He asked Duryodhana, to give only five villages to Pāndava and to end the fight. War is the last option. War is a sign of bad luck, not good luck. That’s why always prey to Shiva. Your 9th lord is Mangal, you definitely need to worship Shiva. Since the co-lord of 9th house is Ketu, you should also worship Guru. Since your guru is in Mīna, he signifies a top-form like Dakṣiṇāmurti, or Dattātreya. Guru in such a state, signifies a very divine form like these two. Best stone for you is Pukharāja (yellow sapphire). Because the dictum we discussed, was the beneficial aspect on 9th house, gives good luck. Mangal and Ketu are giving you bad luck, while guru is giving you good luck. The dictum about beneficial graha in 3rd house is that they give good aspect on 9th house and hence are good for the person. That also applies for guru in Lagna or 5th house, because guru in Lagna or 5th house, gives beneficial aspect on the 9th house. Whereas, rest of the beneficial graha which are Chandra, Shukra and Budha; only have the 7th house aspect from where they sit. But guru has 5th as well as 9th house aspect from where it sits, in addition to the usual 9th house aspect. So, guru in Lagna or 5th house, puts beautiful aspect on the 9th house, which protects the native from bad luck. Guru is trying to give you good luck because he is in Lagna in Mīna. Strengthen this Jupiter in Lagna. We recommend the gemstones on the grounds of the expectations that we have from the planet. Although red-coral and cat’s eye will also give good results. But the problem is, what you describe as “good”. Please do as I say and strengthen Bṛihaspati. Wear Pukharāja (yellow sapphire). Ketu as 9th lord, given bad luck when you least expect it. It gives sudden downfalls. It comes as a terrible shock, Ketu gives such a terrible bad luck when it influences 9th house. Please believe me, and wear Pukharāja, and please worship Shiva, because that is best for you. When Mangal hits you, it breaks your body and weakens your body. Who is the strongest? It is Rudra. Om Namah Shivaya. Or you can do one more fantastic mantra: Om Namo Bhagavate Rudrāya.
Student 11: Simha Lagna, Mangal is 9th lord and is in 9th house itself. Bṛihaspati dṛṣti is on 9th house because Bṛihaspati is in 3rd house.
Guru Sanjay Rath: Bṛihaspati dṛṣti is top-class and that too on Mangal. But Mangal is 9th lord; hence you should prey to Rudra. While other astrologers will say that Guru is bad in 3rd house. But they don’t know Jyotish. It is beautiful. It works beautifully on guru-upadeśa, and all works are easily accomplished. Such people get anything without working for it. Because of Mangal, you have to struggle, but guru eases your work and solves everything. It is fantastic, unblemished and beautiful. It is really good.
Student 12: Karka is my Lagna, Mīna Rashi is in 9th house, Chandra and Shani are in the 9th house. Guru and Mangal are in Lagna.
Guru Sanjay Rath: a parivartana has come between Chandra and Guru. For a moment, Suppose that guru is sitting in the 9th house whereas, Chandra is sitting in Karka in Lagna. What will we consider as the 9th house and which will be the Lagna among Karka and Mīna? Okay, if you can’t think, then tell me simply. If Chandra and Shani are in the 9th house, who will you worship? You should worship Shakti Mā. And the form of mother is Kali Ma because of Shani sitting here with Chandra. A person having Shani in 9th house suffers from terrible bad luck unless and until he/she worships Kali Ma. But once he/she worships Kali Ma Mā, their bad lucks gets converted into good luck and they reach heights of success. Even after their death, their name and work remains incomparable. Such is the power of Shani and Kali Ma Mā in 9th house. See the chart of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa. Shani in 9th house needs worship of Shakti, and we check Moon for the exact form. Since here, Chandra is with Shani, we have reached onto Kali Ma, because we are following an exact system here. Here we are not checking the lord. Today we are seeing Bhagya, and learning, who has the power to improve your Bhagya. Chandra and Shani are sitting together in 9th house, only Kali Ma has the power to turn around your Bhagya. And remember this, Kali Ma Mātā has an absolutely top-class strength, until you bow down you her, your Bhagya will never open, she will never open the door. There are many mantras of Kali Ma Mātā. Shani is sitting in 9th house, i.e., in guru’s natural home, worship her with Parameśvarī mantra. Om Hrīm Śrīm Krīm Parameśvarī Kali Make Svāhā.
Student 13: 9th lord is guru. Guru, Shani and Chandra are in 10th house. Budha has dṛṣti on 9th house.
Guru Sanjay Rath: focus on 9th house. Budha is aspecting 9th house from 3rd house. So, friends and colleagues will help to progress in life. Speak sweetly and you won’t face any obstacle in life. So, the mantra is for Vishnu. What is the mantra? The mantra should be comprised of three words or three phonemes. Om Viṣṇave Namah. Hare Rama Krishna. Generally, the latter mantra is better if budha is in 3rd house.
Student 14: Mithun is Lagna. Shukra, and Surya are in 9th house. Rahu is in 7th house. Shani is in the 12th house.
Guru Sanjay Rath: Shukra in the 9th house, means Bhagya will open up after marriage. We are not yet discussing dvi-graha yoga, that we will have to do subsequently. Surya in the 9th house brings father’s blessings. Rahu and Ketu are rājayoga in the horoscope. Rahu is not bad in your horoscope. The aspect of Shani is on its own sign, but it is not good for the Bhagya. Start doing the fasting on Sundays. Why did I tell her to do fasting on Sundays? Because the upa-pada is in Leo and the lord of upa-pada is also in the 9th house. The marriage will be the turning point in Bhagya. Lord of upapada is in 9th along with Shukra. Start fasting on Sunday.
Student 15: Mithun Lagna. Jupiter, Saturn and Mars are in 3rd house.
Guru Sanjay Rath: the dṛṣti of Mangal on the 9th house is not at all good. Jupiter’s aspect is good. We are not worried about Jupiter’s aspect because that is good. Mangal and Shani are bad because they have tamas dṛṣti which is very bad on the 9th house. So, they can ruin the Bhagya. For pacification of Shani, do a mantra of Kali Ma. And for Mangal, do a mantra for Shiva. But when you worship Kali Ma, Shiva will take the form of Mahakāla. Generally, the results of beneficial or malefic aspect come in the dasha, or when the natural age of that graha, comes. For guru, do something related to guru, it will be good for you. Eat something sweet before leaving home for the work, and the job will be easily done. You have to wear some gold in right hand, definitely. Some gold ring, or gold kadā, or some gold in right hand, will be very good for you, that will control the negative effects of Shani etc., also. A simple ring of gold, even without gemstone of Bṛihaspati, will be auspicious for you. In Ujjain, there is a temple of Jyotirlinga, called Mahakāleśvara. The mantra pertaining to that, is
Om Namah Shivaya Mahakāleśvarāya Hūm Hūm Sah.
This is the best mantra for Mahakāla. Listen! Veda is steadily eloped because of Shani. This form of Shiva lifts the Veda in its original glory, because time cannot perish “that” which is protected by Mahakāla. Mahakāla is the true protector of Vedas. You go there in Ujjain, and you will get your blessings from there. Veda is knowledge. Whole Veda in world, hasn’t come down, it is already on the incline. For example, five years back, it was hard to find vegetarian food in America. But today there is no problem. Read about Mahakāla from Shiva Maha Purana, and other comparable texts. (Students are asking questions about why it is said that Hanumāna is remedy for both Mangal as well as Shani, now, Guruji is answering:). First, Hanuman is Vayu-Putra (offspring of Vāyu Deva), and is also incarnation of Rudra, hence, Shiva. Hanumāna Ji gives strength to win a war, why, because there is no Rudra incarnation like that of himself. Secondly, life and death are linked with breathing, i.e., prāṇa. When Rama has threat of losing prāṇa, it was Hanumāna who saved his life by bringing Garuda. He could do that because he is son of Vāyu. When you worship Hanumāna on Saturdays, worship him with vāyu putra-mantra. While, when you worship him on Tuesdays, worship him in his Ramadūta (agent of Rama) form. So, use correct mantra for appropriate day. He could fly because he was son of Vāyu. Breathing comes from Vāyu because Prāṇa (oxygen) comes from Vāyu.
Before moving on to next topic of sapta-loka, let’s do the charts of remaining students.
Student 16: Rahu is in 9th house. Guru is in 3rd house. Ketu and Surya are also in 3rd house. Mercury is also in 3rd house.
Guru Sanjay Rath: let’s talk about 9th house. Rahu is sitting in 9th house, hence, mantra should be done for a guru-form. Guru is sitting in 3rd house to handle that Rahu. When you go to a guru, you will easily get the remedy. Normally astrologers believe guru is not good in 3rd house. But that is not so. Look at his Bhagya: he needed a laptop, and an older student on mine left a laptop with me because he was going to America; I gave that laptop to him. look! How easily he got it. That older student didn’t take money from me, so, I gave it without taking money. He got the laptop without trying even trying for it. So, is guru bad or good in the 3rd house? Guru is very auspicious in 3rd house. Is Surya good or bad in 3rd house? It is good. Why is it good? Because it is sattva guṇa. When we talk about the Bhagya, we talk about guṇa (sattva, rajas, tamas). Surya is sattva graha, its effect on the 9th house is very auspicious. For dharma, Surya is not inauspicious. It is krūra, not pāpa. For example, some people are strict in their words, but there is good in their heart. Mercury is also not bad. Your friends have always helped you. Only bad thing in your Bhagya is Rahu. Do a mantra for a guru-rūpa. Guru is with Surya, so the form is Shiva form, i.e., Dakṣiṇāmūrtī. When you start mantra for Dakṣiṇīāmūrtī, you will have good luck and get everything without obstacles. Beautiful mantra: Om Dakṣiṇāmūrtīratarom. Do you know this mantra? Do one task. Make a list of all the mantras of for Dakṣiṇāmūrtī. And then, do calculations to find, which of the mantra is the best in your case. Do it after the class.
Student 17: Taurus is Lagna, Shani is in 9th house. Born in 1963.
Guruji asked: Is this Shani good or bad?
Student answered: Although it gives everything slowly, but Shani is good because its in own house.
Guru Sanjay Rath: See! Shani is in 9th house. You are saying that it will be slow but it will give good effects. But I say, when it will give you lottery of good luck? After your death? When it will give? These are all false hopes. So, no benefit from Shani. What did I say about Shani in 9th house? Shakti. Check Moon. Moon is in 5th house with Sun. So, what is the tithī? Is it Pratipada or amāvasyā? Caturdaśi. A rūpa of Mātā, is Mātangī. Red about that. And also read about parrot. Is it not incredible that it can speak like humans? It also has a long life. But I wont tell where to read it, because you have Shani in 9th house, you have to work for it. (a student links parrot with the amaranānātha story, how parrot listened to whole story, and Guruji says:). That’s why parrot has a long life. Shiva’s blessings are onto him. He took Shiva’s knowledge. when you want learn a Śāstra, first you have to keep imitating guru’s discourse by repeating it continuously and it becomes a mantra. When it becomes a mantra, it gets digested. So, Mātangī is very important for you.
Scribe’s notes: Mātangī is one of the daśa Mahāvidya. And this form is linked to Sun. That’s why, when Chandra was sitting with Surya, Guruji chose that particular form to remedy the Shani of 9th house. However, if the tithī were to be amāvasyā, he may have told Kali Ma worship to be done as remedy because Mā Kali Ma is worshipped on amāvasyā (new Moon), particularly in Bengal’s tradition. That will not be contrary to the fact that form should be chosen based on graha yuti with Chandra because the yoga of Chandra and Surya, is itself called the Amāvasyā yoga.
Student 18: Tula is Lagna. Gemini is in 9th house has Mangal, aspected by Mercury from 3rd house.
Guru Sanjay Rath: Mangal is 3rd class planet. Mercury is super planet for you. Mangal is in 9th house, that means you have to worship Shiva to get out of this bad influence of Mangal and tamas in 9th house. What will be form of Shiva? What is the form of Rudra which has strong association with Vishnu? That is Hanuman. Ham rudrāya hanumate namah. This is the mantra.
Student 19 (Sarbāṇī Rath): Mīna Lagna, there are no planets in 9th house. Moon, Mercury and Mars are in 3rd house. Rahu is in 5th house. Hence, Rahu, Mangal, Chandra and Budha are aspecting 9th house.
Guru Sanjay Rath: Is Rahu’s aspect on the 9th house, is good or bad? Is it good? Who said is it good? It is bad. Do a guru mantra for this. Guru is alone, the day when she gets a Bṛihaspati mantra, Rahu’s effect will be diminished. While Bṛihaspati is alone, do Bṛihaspati Gayatri. (a female student is saying that the graha in 12th house brings losses and hence, Bṛihaspati will cause losses. Guruji replies and says:) People have made a joke of 12th house in Jyotish. 12th house is the house of sleep, the day when you lose your sleep, you will realise its importance. 12th house is the mother’s lap. Don’t blame 12th house. Don’t blame your mother’s lap. The women having papa Grahas in the 12th house, can’t become a mother. No papa graha is good in 12th house, gives tensions in marriage. To fully understand the 12th house, read the book, called “bhavarth ratnakar”. Mars is aspecting the 9th house, is it good or bad? (Student says that, mars is aspecting its own house, so it’s good. Guruji replies): just now we were talking about Saturn aspecting its own house. In that case, Shani was aspecting its own house, even then it was bad. Then how can it change for you? Is Mangal good? No. Mangal aspect on 9th house is indicating that you have struggles and fights in your luck. If you get anything in life, you get it only after a lot of struggle. It is worse. Chandra is in 3rd, aspecting the 9th, and that too is exalted. Budha is also in 3rd house, relatives and friends will always help. Drink water and strengthen Moon. Wear a pearl (to strengthen Moon). Unconsciously, she wears a lot of pearls and emaralds. When she was born, she got a lot of emaralds and pearls. See, everything has Bhagya. Mangal-dṛṣti is not good. Worship Shiva, and all of these struggles that you have faced in your life, will be gone. You won’t have to struggle. So, her luck is coming from Chandra-dṛṣti and Budha-dṛṣti. But she has to do two mantra, one mantra for a Guru-form to cut Rahu’s Tāmasic influence on 9th house, and secondly a Shiva-mantra to cut the tamasic influence of Mangal on 9th house. So, do the Shiva mantra in the day, and Bṛihaspati Gayatri in the night. These two are crucial for you.
Scribe’s note: google the book “bhavarth Ratnakar”. And you will get the pdf. Study 12th house from it.
Now the most important thing. We consider Mangal, Shani, Rahu, and Ketu bad for the 9th house. We know that influence of Budha and Shukra on 9th house, is good for worldly pleasure, while Guru, Chandra and Surya are best for the 9th house. We also studied that planets having dṛṣti on 9th house from the 3rd house, are considered to be good or bad by following the same method. Why we did it? Because 9th house is house of dharma. Sattva is best for dharma. Rajas is okay-okay for dharma. But tamas has no place in dharma. Can you try the same for Lagna? First tell me, what is the guṇa for Lagna? Lagna is self and can have all the three i.e., sattva, rajas and tamas. Therefore, the scheme that have applied on the 9th house, we can’t do that for Lagna. For example, if Lagna is that of Makara, then Shani is good there. Therefore, method to judge the effect on different planets on the Lagna, is different from that of the 9th house. 9th house is temple, sattva is best there. because 9th house is Dhanu and Dhanu is temple. Therefore, it is your homework, that you tell me the dominating guṇa for every house. The dominating guṇa for the Lagna, is rajas. Likewise, you have to find the chief guṇa for every house. The class has picked up now. The speed will increase in next class. Your hand will pain from taking so much notes. I will be giving dictums.
