Remedial Measure in everyday life

Tanvir Chowdhury

Dear readers,
I would like to share a few observations about remedial measure with you. This
article is about simple and easy remedial measure in everyday life, how we
unconsciously keep strengthening planets everyday through our daily activities.

We know that a way of remedy is performing charity of specific things, which

represent that particular planet. By donating those particular things the evil of the
planet are reduced.

The basic idea behind this donation is 'Sacrificing'. Donating something free of cost
means a kind of sacrifice. In charity we sacrifice something, which is a great work,
and by sacrificing a particular kind of thing we reduce the harm of that particular
planet.

As an example, black clothes, iron goods, mustard oil etc. are things of Saturn and
by charity of those items we can reduce the harm of Saturn in our charts.

If we think for a moment then we will understand that in this case the opposite of
charity (Sacrifice) is consumption. (Using the specified thing in own purpose.)
Because when I perform charity, I hand over the ownership and do not have the
right to use that thing anymore, as it no longer belongs to me. So, it's opposite will
be consuming or using the specified thing.

This makes me think that if we can reduce a planet's harm by donating it's things,
then can not we strengthen it by using the same product? (As 'Using' is the opposite
of charity?)

This idea finds a support for itself when we see astrologers telling that donating a
planet's gem will pacify it. (Like donating a ruby would pacify Sun.) So, it means that
when using the gemstone for self is strengthening the planet, then sacrificing the
same is pacifying the planet. Vice versa, there are items donating which can pacify
the planet, so similarly using the same items will strengthen the planet. As
consumption = opposite of sacrifice.

Thus, in our everyday life we can use some things much to strengthen our benefic
planets while by avoiding the usage of some things we can avoid strengthening our
malefic planets.

As I told before, mustard oil represents Saturn and by donating this, we can pacify
Saturn. So, by the same law, using mustard oil in everyday life will simply
strengthen Saturn, which is a good choice for people who have Saturn as their
benefic planet. Thus, people can not buy expensive gems can strengthen their
benefic planets in everyday life. Though using mustard oil will work far less than
using a Sapphire, but still it is a very notable effect through which people can be
benefited a lot.

Similarly, people who do not know Jyotish, or do not know this theory may use
mustard oil everyday in cooking etc. as their habit or culture, and unconsciously
strengthen Saturn, most of the cases which is a malefic planet causing a lot of
troubles and grief. Think now!

This is not a made-up thing from my mind. But from my personal experiences I see
from the past that whenever Saturn Pratyantar Dashas came, I have used mustard
oil for my hair etc. or used to eat foods which has been cooked with that! But in the
other times, I did not!

This is because we know that in each period of planets they made us do things they
promise in our charts, and making someone use Saturn kind of things is a very
common matter we can expect from a Saturn period. But, notice we know that each
planets gets strengthened in it's own period through which it gives it's effects. And
so in Saturn Pratyantar it was powerful and made me use mustard oil much. So
again we get that using mustard oil strengthens Saturn. Thus, all other planets can
be strengthened using some of simple things in everyday life. Similarly, malefic
planets' things should be avoided to use. Alas! People do not know Jyotish
unconsciously use them much to call in much grief and pain in their lives.

Similarly, we know that electrical items are ruled by Rahu. And truly, when my Rahu
bhukti started, I started to use electrical items more than ever before! As an
example, I bought and started to wear a wristwatch for all the 24 hours times even
when sleeping! But before that, in my 20 year's life, I never wore a wristwatch even
for one day a month!

This, of course, does not mean that Saturn and Rahu periods will always make
someone use mustard oil or electrical items like me. What it will make the person do,
will depend on all the matters. Like the person might wear black or aqua coloured
clothes a lot on that period of time etc. which indicates strengthening of Saturn. It is
confirm the planet will show it's effect though the person's activities.

Even, the person may even behave the 'Planet-wise'. Like in Mars' period the person
may behave hot-tempered if Mars is afflicted, as hot temper is ruled by negative
Mars. For the same reason astrologers advise to control temper to reduce Mars'
harms. Because, Mars shows it's effect by making you hot tempered, and you put it
away by keeping yourself cool-mannered! And the other bad effects are put away
like this the same while when you act adverse the planetary effects.

Thus, by every single activities or behaviour, we show planets' effects, and by every
single task or behaviour in everyday lives, we strengthen some planets. A Jyotish -
learned person will always act careful enough not to strengthen his malefic planets
from his simple and everyday life activities. But other general people will only
increase their pain just like using more mustard oil etc.

May we do all the positive things in our everyday lives, may Jyotish be the most
helpful guide to all of us.

Here are some easy ways of Vedic Astrology remedial measure. I read them in sites,
classical texts etc. Some remedies I also got from my own experience. They are only
my personal opinion - might strange pretty strange though. But I believe that people
might be benefited from them.

About donations and charitable works - Donation and charity are sacrifices and
that is why great positive karmas. This is believed that it also pacifies a harmful
planet when that planet type of things are donated. Some also say that you might
donate money to a poor for buying foods and medicine, but if he uses the money for
bad purposes such as buying addictive drugs, then it is rather put upon your
shoulder. Helping the old, poor, needy, distressed is a very good way - there can be
no doubt that it leads to freedom from bad karma much or less. Donate foods,
medicines, money and other materials to the poor. If you do not have money or any
material to donate, then at least, say good and sweet things, make the person feel
better at least! It will surely not be overlooked by the great Lord.

Note -
01. When a planet is malefic for you according to Jyotish, never strengthen that in
any ways, and propitiate (Pacify) it.
02. Strengthen your benefic planets in every ways suggested by Jyotish.
