MARS WILL BE VISIBLE THROUGH-OUT THE WORLD, EVEN THOUGHT WITH A SLIGHT

DIFFERENCE IN TIME. THE PLANET IS RED (LIKE A FLAME) AND CAN BE VIEWED WITH

NAKED EYE, IN THE EASTERN DIRECTION, AFTER DARK.

Concerning the positioning of planets, maybe it's an auspicious period for

sadhna, can learned friends verify and advise the group about this issue.

ACCORDING TO VEDIC ASTROLOGY, MARS IS A WAR PLANET. IN SANSKRT, IT IS CALLED

"ANGAARAKA" (meaning FLAME RED) AND "MANGAL" (meaning AUSPICIOUS) . MARS IS A

FIERY PLANET AND IT'S EFFECTS ON HUMAN MINDS ARE ANXIETY, TENSION, RUTHFULNESS,

AND SHORT TEMPEREDNESS ETC. IT RULES OVER PERSISTENCE, LOGIC AND ACTION. MURDER,

ARMED DACOITY, POLITICAL UPRISINGS, WARS, REVOLUTIONS, INTRIGUES, CONSPIRACIES

AND ILLICIT LOVE ARE CAUSED BY THIS PLANET. HIS (THE PLANET GOD’S) SUBSTANCES

ARE COPPER, TIN, TOBACCO, HEMP AND MINERALS. HIS HAUNTS ARE MINES, ARMOURIES,

BATTLE-FIELDS, WASTE LANDS AND KITCHENS.

ANGAARAK IS THE LORD OF THE SOUTH. IT AFFECTS/CONTROLS BONE MARROW, BILE, VIENS,

AND ADOLESCENCE. AFFLICTIONS CAUSED BY THIS PLANET ARE BLEEDING, ABORTIONS,

MENSTRUAL DISORDERS, ACCIDENTAL WOUNDS/DEATHS, BURNS, HIGH FEVER AND RHEUMATIC

COMPLAINTS.

HE RULES OVER INHERITED LAND, BROTHERS, ENEMIES, SCANDAL-MONGERS, THIEVES AND

POLICEMEN. IT IS OBSERVED THAT PERSONS WITH ANGAARAK (MARS) AS THE ACENDENT

(LAGNA) IN THEIR HOROSCOPES ARE SUCCESFUL SPORTSMEN.

PERSONIFIED, ANGAARAKA (MARS) IS REGARDED AS THE OFFSPRING OF MOTHER EARTH.

HENCE HE IS CALLED “BHAUMA”, “BHOOMIJA” , “KUJA” AND “DHARAATMAJA”. HIS BIRTH

IS NARRATED IN THE “BRAHMA VAIVARTHA PURANA” THAT WHEN THE EARTH GODDESS LOOKED

AT “UPENDRA” (A FORM OF VISHNU), SHE BECAME LOVE-LORN AND BEGOT ANGAARAKA

IN THE OCCULT WORSHIP, ANGAARAKA IS DESCRIBED AS REDDISH HUE IN COMPLEXION BUT

CRUEL IN LOOKS. HE RIDES A “MESHA” (GOAT/RAM-ARIES OF THE ZODIAC) AND FREQUENTS

FORESTS. HE IS ESPECIALLY POWERFUL DURING AFTERNOONS. HE IS FOND OF BITTER OR

PUNGENT TASTE. HE RESIDES IN THE SOUTHERN DIRECTION AND BELONGS TO THE

“KSHATRIYA” CASTE; HIS PERSONALITY IS DOMINATED BY “TAMO GUNA” (SLOTHFUL AND

DULL).

THIS PLANET REMAINS IN EACH OF THE ZODIACAL SIGNS FOR ABOUT 45 DAYS. WHEN THE

POSITION GETS AFFECTED, IT EXERTS UNPLEASANT INFLUENCES ON HUMAN BEINGS.

ANGAARAKS’ FIRST TUTELLARY DEITY (ADHIDEVATHA) IS “PRTHVI”(MOTHER EARTH) AND

SECOND TUTELLARY DEITY (PRATHYADHI DEVATHA) IS “KUMAARA” OR “SKANDA”

(SUBRAHMANYA OR KARTHIKEYA). ACCORDING TO SOME TEXTS, KUMAARA IS THE OTHER NAME

OF LORD AGNI (FIRE GOD). IN THE PURANAS, IT IS SAID THAT, MANGAL, AFTER BEING

BORN TO THE MOTHER EARTH, DID SEVERE PENANCE AND APPEASED LORD GANESH, WHO

BLESSED HIM WITH THE BOON TO BE ONE AMONG THE 9 PLANETS. HENCE “MANGALVAAR”

(TUESDAY) IS HELD SACRED TO LORD GANESH AND THOSE WHO WISH TO TAKE UP

“SANKASHTA HARA GANESH CHATURTHI VRATH” SHOULD COMMENCE THE VRATH

FROM “ANGAARAK SANKASHTI” i.e., FROM THAT TUESDAY ON WHICH THE VRATH FALLS.

THE ABOVE IS SUPPORTED FROM THE KUNDALINI YOGA POINT OF VIEW. LORD GANESHA IS

THE PRISIDING DEITY OF THE “MOOLAADHAAR CHAKRA”, THE FIRST OF THE 6 IMPORTANT

CHAKRAS IN THE HUMAN BODY. THIS CHAKRA, WHICH IS SAID TO BE LOCATED AT THE BASE

OF THE SPINE IS COMPOSED OF “PRTHVI TATWA” (EARTHERN COMPOSITION) AND ITS

PRIMARY FUNCTION IS BALANCING OF ALL IMPORTANT FUNCTIONS OF THE BODY.

IN OUR BHARATHEEYA SANSKRTHI, IT IS SAID THAT A PERSON ACTUALLY HAS 5 MOTHERS:

JANMADAAYINI - MAATHA (one’s own mother who has given birth to this mortal body)

GO - MAATHA ( mother cow who gives us milk and nourishes us)

BHOO - MAATHA ( mother Earth who bears and sustains all living beings)

PRAKRTHI - MAATHA ( mother Nature who makes our lives beautiful and purposeful)

VEDA - MAATHA (Vedas which enlighten us and help us to cross over this ocean of

worldliness and attain salvation)

IT IS SAID THAT THE DEBTS OF THESE MOTHERS CAN NEVER BE FULFILLED. HENCE ONE HAS

TO BE ALWAYS OBIDIENT AND DUTIFUL TOWARDS THEM, FAILING WHICH HE EARNS THEIR

CURSE WHICH HAS NO CURE. IN ASTROLOGY, MARS PLAYS AN IMPORTANT ROLE IS

IDENTIFYING MOTHER’S CURSE IN AN INDIVIDUAL’S HOROSCOPE.

ACCORDINGLY, OUR SHASTRAS DECLARE THAT EVERY PERSON HAS 5 KINDS OF DEBTS: (read RNA as RUNA)

DEVA - RNA (Debt towards the Gods. This is got rid off by performing “Yajnas”)

PITR - RNA (Debt towards one’s father and forefathers. This is got rid off by

getting married and begetting a son)

RSHI - RNA (Debt towards the Rshis who gave us the Vedas. This is got rid off

by studying the Vedas and teaching the same to others)

BHOOTHA - RNA (Debt towards the 5 important elements of nature namely earth,

water, fire, air and space. This is got rid off by living in harmony with the

Nature and do our best to preserve it’s purity & sanctity. For example,

“agnihothra” – the daily fire ritual purifies air that is contaminated by

carbon-di-oxide exhaled by us. It is said that the twigs of the Peepal tree

liberate plenty of oxygen when put into fire along with ghee, while chanting

specific mantras)

SAMAAJ - RNA (Debt towards the society. This is got rid off by serving the

society in one’s own ways)

IN ADDITION TO THE ABOVE MENTIONED DEBTS, THERE ARE OTHER WORLDLY DEBTS LIKE THE

FINANCIAL DEBT. PLANET MARS SIGNIFIES ALL THESE DEBTS. WORSHIPPING ANGAARAK

FREES ONE FROM SUCH DEBTS.

KEEPING IN MIND ALL THESE ASPECTS, ANGAARAK OR PLANET MARS SHOULD BE WORSHIPPED

ON 27TH AUGUST, 2003 FOR THE ELIMINATION OF DISEASES AND FOR GETTING RID OF

DEBTS (RUNA). ALONG WITH MARS, GODDESS BHOOMI DEVI, LORD GANESH, & LORD

KARTHIKEYA ALSO SHOULD BE WORSHIPPED. SINCE IT HAPPENS TO BE A WEDNESDAY – THE

DAY SACRED FOR LORD MAHA VISHNU, HE ALSO SHOULD BE WORSHIPPED. THIS IS

JUSTIFIED BY THE FACT THAT ANGAARAK IS NONE OTHER THAN THE SON OF LORD MAHA

VISHNU.

MANTRAS AND RITUALS

An yantra of Angaarak can be used; or else, just ½ kilo of Thoor Dhal can be

used, which represents Planet Mars. The yantra should be placed over Thoor Dhal

spread over a plantain leaf in the shape of a triangle . After the ritual is

over, this Thoor Dhal should be given to a Brahmin priest or scholar as “Daan”

along with “Dakshina” (money). This is very important. I have noticed that some

who just don’t this for reasons best known to them, simply won’t get the desired

result.

One should sit facing the south direction, in front of the yantra and chant the

mantra of planet Mars. It is very important to note that one should chant only

that mantra which he has obtained from his Guru. This can be the Vedic mantras,

or Angaaraka Gaayathri, or moola mantra or whichever it is. Along with this, the

“Rna vimOchaka mangala sthothram” can be chanted several times to get rid of

debts. All the details of a ritualistic worship like snaan, aachaman, sankalp

for the self and dhyaan, aavaahan … abhishek…aarti etc for the yantra should be

correctly followed. For advanced Sadhaks it is just enough if they chant the

mantra. Chanting Ganesha Atharva Upanishad, Vishnu Sahasranama, Angaarka

ashtottara, Lalithaa Sahasranaama, Subrahmanya Sahasranaama, Skanda Shashti

Kavacham is also very much beneficial. Only red flowers like the hibiscus

should be used. The following can be suitably incorporated :
