Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Dear Sri Suresh Babu, Thanks once again for your detailed suggestions. I have not had the opportunity to get initiated to Saptasati. Nevertheless I will follow the procedure you had outlined(I have the book published by Gita press). I am a frequenter in a few other jyotish forums and have asked for readings there, but always with the same id :-)) By not asking for a full reading, I mean no disrespect to the learned and kind astrologers of this forum. To a good extent I know the predictions but I wanted to know about any other remedies which I can do. Gulika in Lagna is a topic which I came to know only from an obscure astrologer in my native place. Everyone else, in public forums as well as in private consultation, attributed the problems to one or a combination of factors like ashtama shani, retrograde transit of Jupiter, malefic moon, malefic rahu etc. So, I am taking a few baby steps at learning astrology at least to make sense of my own horoscope and to work out remedies to the extent possible. Sir, there is only one point in your mail, to which I beg to disagree. It is regarding chanting the holy Vishnu Sahasranamam, as mechanical as it could be, even as a tape recorder as you suggested. If my experience is anything to go by, even someone who seriously doubted the existence of God(as I was several years ago), if he resorts to the mental chanting of this stotra merely to overcome boredom, oftentimes dropping it halfway without completing the stotra, can have dramatic changes in his life in a few months. Certainly it was/is an amazing truth to me. The samskaras of chanting this stotra many times in childhood could have helped, but it *has worked* even without pondering over the meaning of the stotra (I am sure that knowing the meanings would help a lot more, as you had explained). What would you do when someone is bent on destroying you, who does not undestand reason and has already ruined your life(temporarily or permanently - time alone will tell). Bhagavan Krishna shows the way, doesn't he? We all have our karma, and for me there were very, very good reasons for thinking in that line. With such aids as meditation and chanting stotras, it's a different matter whether I will really adopt that :-) Regards, Hari Re: Effects of GULIKA in LAGNA - Sri Suresh Baby Shenoy Posted by: " Suresh Babu.A.G " sureshbabuag sureshbabuag Tue Sep 22, 2009 3:21 am (PDT) Dear Harihara Krishnan, I am glad that you understand the problems involved which makes it easier to overcome them. In any situation, the first base is ti understand the cause and then to understand the remedies and finaly to implement them. Since you already stated that you do not want a reading of the chart, I have & Others too has sticked to the generalities only. You have revealed certain tendancies that had prevailed and is still prevailing. If you look closely, you will realise, this root of both is same - Intensity. In the first case it may be failure, frustration, saddness etc while in the second it is anger. All these reactions have one thing in common - " fear " and that is what is indicated by Gulika in Lagna. Why. You have intensity but not able to channelise it properly. It is this improper channelisation that is indicated by Gulika - a deficiency I mentioned about. A strong person and well educated and with good presence of mind can tackle any one or any situation. so should others cause him anger if he is confident of tacking them well without injury to any one?. So if you understand what is the cause, it is easy to overcome it also. Daily reciting stotras just like a tape recorder will not help not only you but also any one. But trying to understand its meaning shall help a lot. This understand and slowely trying to live accordingly shall take one's mind from such tendancies and provide a much balanced outlook and a stable mind. As for reciting durga saptha sloki, You can recite it in the evenings after proper cleansing. If you don't know or are not inclined to recite as per tantra, just recite the kavacha & saptha sati as prescribed in three day or seven day method. You can also recite Kavacha, argala, keelaka & saptha sloki as trayangam. Trayangam, trisathy, Day 1 = Kavacham, argala, keelaka & chapter 1 day 2 = chapters 2, 3 & 4 day 3 = chapters 5 to 13. or Trayangam, trisathy without nyasa etc Day 1 = Kavacham & chapter 1 day 2 = chapters 2, 3 & 4 day 3 = chapters 5 to 13. Keep a lamp lit with ghee in front of you if possible and recite it. I hope this helps you.

I have been chanting the holy Vishnu Sahasranamam, a close friend, right from early childhood, which must have contributed a lot towards reducing the malefic effects of Gulika. You mentioned Durga pooja (yes, there has been lethargy and slowness in all matters and only recently did I come to know about Gulika which could be the reason) My query is - can I just chant Durga Stutis like Saptasloki Durga and Durga 32 names, as chanting could be done anywhere after ensuring physical cleanliness, or is it necessary that some rituals pertaining to Durga Pooja be also done? Chanting mantras/stotras is a favourite activity for me - while I am not at all versed in the ritualistic aspects of Poojas, hence the query. Regards, Hari Re: Effects of GULIKA in LAGNA Posted by: " Suresh Babu " sureshbabuag@ sureshbabuag Sat Sep 19, 2009 3:50 am (PDT) Dear Hari, It is no doubt that Gulika in the lagna signifies deficiencies, whether it is physical - Internal or external or even mental. However it is also said that Gulika in the Lagna confers raja yoga. May it is balancing act of god - to reduce one thing and increase another. Gulika is considered " preta " and Jupiter's (as paramatma) association indicates sayujya of the soul. Hence, Jupiter's association reduces the blemish considerably. The primary question is are you experiencing any of effects at present given that you have grown up. Do not find fault with Gulika for every problem you might be facing. Gulika here is aspected by Mars : can cause accidents, fear from fire, electricity, lightening, acids - related with heat. Since it is in the Kendra of Mercury, Venus also, can cause jaundice etc. It is in the sign of Dhanu, thighs of kala purusha. Hence weakness of thighs or any problem there might prevail Since Jupiter is affected, being karaka for progeny, speech, body middle part, these should also be evaluated. The solution is Vishnu pooja, reciting Vishnu Sahasranama etc. If you are shaivate - Shiva Sahasranama will also do Gulika is also taken as Sarpents. In which case you will have difficulties pertaining to progeny, general initiative in work (becomes lethargic / lazy). In which case, rahu pooja, durga pooja (particularly since mars is aspecting) should be remedy pursued. Hope this helps you A.G.Suresh Babu Shenoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Dear Hariharan, It is true that reciting Vishnu Sahasranam etc even without knowing its meaning shall have some good effects which is what the scriptures teach us. Nevertheless, the effect will far less. If you analyse the process of repetation, it could be mechanical or it could also be involving. When you have learned it by heart, it is easy to be mechanical when reciting it while your mind will be set on doing something else. This is the situation I was refering to. As for dealing with your enemy and quoting Shree Krishna, I would like to say that you look at what other things he has also said and in what context. Shree Krishna asked Arjuna to fight because fighting for justice, for regaining his lost, for the country WAS is Kshatriya Dharma. He only advised to follow ones dharma. In fact he warned against following others dharma. It is upto you to take what is correct and do what is right. Let your Atma Guna guide you.

Guest guest Posted September 23, 2009 Report Share Posted September 23, 2009 Dear friend, gulika = poison mandi = suffering Gulika in 7th house = disturbed marrried life. gulika in 5th house = anxiety on account of children etc. In 2nd house gulika = food poisioning 3rd house gulika = problem related to neighbours or hearing defect etc. Regards, Mrutyunjay Tripathy (Consultancy out of group is not free) , Harihara Krishnan <harih2002 wrote: > > Dear Sri Suresh Babu, > > Thanks once again for your detailed suggestions.
