Some clarifications regarding the Upayas suggested by you

August 20, 2007

Respected Shri Bhooshanpriya Jee, Saadar Charan Sparsh, I have completed the upaya for Shani (throwing sabut Urad dal grains in a Govt. office for 10 days). However, i had visited the revered Shri Shani Dev temple at Shri Kokilavan Dham (at Kosi Kalan, near Nand Gram/Barsana) on Saturday, 18th August. It was the last day of the upaya. Instead of throwing Urad dal grains at the usual place near my home, i had to throw them at a Government Toll Tax Collection office on the highway. The time of following the upaya was around 2.00-2.30 PM. This is to say that for 9 days, i had thrown the dal grains in one office (between 9.00 AM to 10 AM) and on the 10th day, it was another Govt. office and that too in the afternoon. Please tell me if it was okay. I carried out the upaya with devotion and faith. If need be, i can repeat the upaya for 10 more

days. Please illuminate on this. I am left with some Urad dal that i purchased for this purpose. Please tell me what to do with this remaining portion of Urad dal. Since this upaya concerns Urad dal, please tell me if consuming Urad dal will be okay for me. As you know, in Delhi, most of the restaurants serve Punjabi dishes and Urad dal is liberally served. Of late, i had had to eat out of home and have consumed Urad dal on two occassions. Also, Urad dal is used in South Indian preparations. Please tell me if i should abstain from eating Urad dal/cuisines that use Urad dal. There are two more upayas that you suggested for Saturn - Burying in a place where grass grows 7 pieces of kala

namak twice with a gap of a few days in between AND Offering at any temple 9 mushrooms in an earthen pot, once. I believe i should wait for 4 days after finishing an upaya and commencing

another. Please suggest. Thanking you, Dhiraj Misra
