The devotee who has no son/daughter is blessed with an issue. The devotee who has no money becomes rich. The devotee who is suffering from disease becomes free from disease and becomes healthy. The devotee who is in custody or bondage becomes free. There is no doubt that every thing wished is received by the devotees as blessings from God Venkatesha.

It destroys all sorrow and it opens a way to Vishnu Loka. It does all good to devotees, every good wish is fulfilled and after end of the life such devotee goes to Vaikuntha (Vishnu) loka. God Venkatesha who is giver of all good things to the devotees; is living in happiness with Goddess Laxmi on the bank of river pushakarini. I bow to God Venkatesha, God Shrinivaasa to bless me with fulfilling all my desires. Here completes shri venkatesh stotra which is from Brahmanda purana and told by God Brahma to Brahmarshi Narad.

 

Brihat Parashara Hora Sashtra by Rishi Parashara(progeny and curses)

Effects of Curses in the Previous Birth
1-3. Maitreya said. O Venerable Sage! You have acquainted me with effects, experienced by men and women in a number of ways. According to Shastras, the soul of a person does not rest in peace after his death, if he is not blessed with a son. What sin does a person commit to remain without a son? And what are the remedial measures to be adopted by him to get a son? Kindly enlighten me about this.
4. Mahārśi Parasara replied. I will now tell you, whatever Lord Shiva told Goddess Parvati in this respect.
5. Goddess Parvati said to Lord Shiva. O my Lord! What is the sin, which causes destruction of children amongst men. Please tell me, what are the Yogas for such an effect and what are the remedial measures to protect the children?
6. Lord Shiva replied: O Devi! You have asked a very relevant question. Now I will tell you the Yogas for loss of children and the requisite remedial measures.
7. A person will be without a son, if Jupiter, the Lord of Lagna and the Lord of the 5th are all devoid of strength.
8. The same will happen, if Sun, Mars, Rahu and Saturn, endowed with strength, be in the 5th and the significator for children, namely Jupiter and Lord of the 5th etc. be bereft of strength.
9-16. There will be no male issue, due to the curse of a serpent, if at birth Rahu is in the 5th, aspected by Mars; the Lord of 5th is associated with Rahu and Moon is in the 5th and is aspected by Saturn; the significator for children (Jupiter) is associated with Rahu, the Lord of the 5th is devoid of strength and the Lord of Lagna is with Mars; the significator for children is associated with Mars, Lagna is occupied by Rahu and the Lord of the 5th is in 6th, 8th, or 12th; Mercury, as Lord of the 5th, being in the Navamsa of Mars, is associated with Mars and Lagna is occupied by Rahu and Gulikaa; the 5th is Aries, or Scorpio and the Lord of the 5th is associated with Rahu, or Mercury; the 5th is occupied by Sun, Saturn, Mars, Rahu, Mercury and Jupiter and the Lords of the 5th and Lagna are devoid of strength; the Lord of Lagna, or Jupiter is associated with Rahu and the Lord of the 5th is in conjunction with Mars.
17-19. Remedial measures should be adopted to obtain protection from the evil effects of the above Yogas. These are getting an idol of Naga (serpent) Raja, made in gold and, after worshipping it in accordance with prescribed procedure, giving in charity a cow, some land, sesame seeds and gold etc. By adopting these measures the Lord of Serpents will be gratified and by his beneficence the person concerned will be blessed with a son and the lineage of his family will be prolonged.
20-30. There will be no male issue, as a result of the curse of the father in the previous birth, if at birth of the native Sun in his debilitation Rāśi and in the Navamsa of Saturn is hemmed in between malefics in the 5th House; Sun, as Lord of the 5th, posited in a Trikona with a malefic, is hemmed in between malefics and is also aspected by a malefic; Jupiter occupies the Rāśi of Sun, the Lord of the 5th is with Sun and Lagna and the 5th are occupied by malefics; Lord of Lagna, devoid of strength, is in the 5th and the Lord of the 5th is combust and Lagna and the 5th are occupied by malefics; there is exchange of Houses between Lords of the 5th and the 10th and Lagna and the 5th are occupied by malefics; Mars, as the Lord of the 10th, is associated with the Lord of the 5th and Lagna, the 5th and the 10th are occupied by malefics; Lord of the 10th is in the 6th, 8th, or 12th, Jupiter is in a malefic Rāśi and the Lord of Lagna and the 5th are associated with malefics; Sun, Mars and Saturn are in Lagna and the 5th and Rahu and Jupiter are in the 8th and the 12th; Sun is in the 8th, Saturn in the 5th, the Lord of the 5th is associated with Rahu and Lagna is occupied by a malefic; Lord of 12th is in Lagna, Lord of 8th in 5th and Lord of 10th in 8th; Lord of 6th is in 5th, Lord of 10th in 6th and Jupiter is associated with Rahu.

To get deliverance form the curse of the father the remedial measures are performance of Shraddha at Gaya; to feed ten thousand, one thousand, or 100 Brahmins, as one can afford; Virgodana (to perform the marriage of a girl); giving a cow in charity. By observing these remedial measures, the person concerned becomes free from the curse and the family lineage is prolonged by the birth of sons, grandsons etc.
Note. In this chapter, where the words childlessness and issue-lessness are used, they should be interpreted to mean want of male issue, because it is the male issue, who by performing the last rites of his father and mother ensures eternal peace to their souls.
34-50. A person will be without a male issue, as a result of curse of the mother, if at birth Moon, as Lord of the 5th is in her debilitation Rāśi, or is hemmed in between malefics and 4th and 5th are occupied by malefics; Saturn is in 11th, 4th is occupied by malefics and Moon is posited in the 5th in her debilitation Rāśi; Lord of 5th is in 6th, 8th, or 12th, Lord of Lagna in his debilitation Rāśi and Moon is associated with malefics; Lord of 5th is in 8th, 6th, or 12th, Moon in a malefic Navamsa and there are malefics in Lagna and in 5th; Lord of 5th and Moon, associated with Saturn, Rahu and Mars, are in 5th, or 9th; Mars, as Lord of 4th is associated with Saturn and Rahu and 5th and Lagna are occupied by Sun and Moon, respectively; Lords of Lagna and 5th are in 6th, Lord of 4th in 8th and Lagna is occupied by Lord of 8th and 10th; Lagna is occupied by the Lords of 6th and 8th, Lord of 4th is in 12th and Moon and Jupiter, associated with malefics, are in the 5th; Lagna is hemmed in between malefics, waning Moon is in 7th and 4th and 5th are occupied by Rahu and Saturn, respectively; there is exchange of Houses between Lords of 5th and 8th and the Lord of 4th and Moon are in 6th, 8th, or 12th; Cancer Lagna is occupied by Mars and Rahu and Moon and Saturn are in 5th; Mars, Rahu, Sun and Saturn are in Lagna, 5th, 8th and 12th, respectively, and the Lords of Lagna and 4th are in 6th, 8th, or 12th; Mars, Rahu and Jupiter are in 8th and Saturn and Moon are in 5th. For release from this curse and to beget a male issue the person concerned should take bath in the sea with bridge of rocks between India and Sri Lanka, recite one Lakh Gayatri Mantras, give in charity things, connected with evil Planets, feed Brahmins and go round a Pipal tree 1008 times. By performing these remedial measures, he will not only beget a son, the lineage of family will also be prolonged.

Planets diseases prashan kundli and remedies

Planets and  Diseases
Diseases like fever, heart trouble, orthopedics diseases, eye infections, headache and problems in gall bladder are caused due to the malefic influence of Sun. Whereas Moon causes health troubles like cough and cold, lung infection, respiratory syndrome and tuberculosis.
Health ailments like allergies, hysteria, mental disorder, skin disease, paralysis and epilepsy are caused due to malefic influence of Mercury. A native might face problem of jaundice, infection in kidney, acidity, obesity and other diseases associated with obesity because of inauspicious impact of Jupiter.

The native may suffer from diabetes, weakness, sexually transmitted diseases due to the influence of Venus. Saturn also influences health of native and native may fall prey to diseases like joint ache, problem in blood vessel, pain in stomach and gout due to the influence of Saturn.
Malefic alliance of Mars and in the birth-chart might cause diseases like piles, injuries, headache, hypertension and other blood infections. Whereas the native may suffer from ailments like allergies, jaundice, fever, tuberculosis and paralysis due to the alliance of Sun and Mercury.
Combined influence of Sun and Rahu might cause disturbance due to ailments like cancer, anemia, leprosy, and infection in womb. But native might suffer from sexually transmitted diseases or mental disorders due to the combination of Sun and Venus.

 Prashna Kundali
Treating diseases through becomes difficult when malefic planets are placed in the 1st, 5th, 7th or 8th house along with a weaker Moon. But if Moon become strong and beneficial planet are placed in the 1st, 5th, 7th or 8th house then diseases will be cured easily.
Placement of auspicious planets in 3rd, 6th, 9th or 11th house help in a complete recovery. The treatment of ailments will be possible due to a powerful 7th lord or placement of any benefic planet in 7th house. The native gets benefits from medicines if any benefic planet is placed in 4th house.
Houses Related to Diseases in the Prashna Kundali
According to the Prashna astrology, the 1st house of Prashna Kundli belongs to the physician and the 4th house belongs to treatment and medicines. Whereas, 6th and 7th houses belong to diseases and the 10th house belongs to the patient.
If benefic planets are aspecting the ascendant then it is indicative of consultation from a specialist physician. If auspicious planets aspects the 4th house, it indicates that illness will be cured through normal treatment. If the sixth-lord and the seventh-lord is debilitated, then the ailment takes time to cure but if benefic planets aspects the 6th and 7th house then ailments will cured steadily.


 Lal Kitab’s suggestions in this regard are quite effective. However, one of the most prevalent methods of this system is TOTKA. Lal Kitab says if these TOTKAS are performed during the period (from sunrise to sunset) work wonderfully well.

Panchak (The Inauspicious Period To Pass On In)

Panchak (The Inauspicious Period To Pass On In)

Written by Narottam Das

. Panchak (The Inauspicious Period To Pass On In) In Hinduism religion death is not treated as the end of life rather it is treated as a moment when the ‘Atma’ or ‘soul’ after leaving the present body will starts its journey either for reincarnation in some new form or for ‘Moksha’ (final emancipation). Panchak dates are based upon astrological calculations so when a person passes on the first thing that you should check is what time the deceased passed on. Panchak is a very bad time for a person to die in. Panchak is a combination of 5 Nakshatras (asterisms/stars) viz. (Dhanishtaa, Shatabhisha, Poorva Bhaadrapada, Uttara Bhaadrapada and Revati). The Garuda Purana II. 4 180 states “Cremations are harmless in this period if the Vedic injunctions are strictly observed”. For example on the 4th December 2008 @ 08h39 Panchak starts and ends on the 8th December 2008 @ 22h45. If a person dies within this time then the pundit/priest has to perform a Panchak Shanti puja which takes like a few minutes to perform in the antechamber of the crematorium. Please, please make sure that the priest performs this prayer. I am not going to scare you but if this prayer is not performed then many lives (generally) 5 lives will be lost within the family within that one year... many Hindu's take Panchak lightly and when problems arise then the family is put through so much of hardship when it could have been avoided... if the deceased died on Panchak then on the funeral day please INSIST on the Panchak Shanti puja if the priest doesn't want to perform it. You rather delay the funeral then having problems later on... those that know me know I don't like to scare people but in these cases I am dead (no pun intended) serious. Don't mess the with the dead. With regards to Panchak there are specific instructions given in our scriptures esp the Garuda Purana (Preta Khand Chapter 10) that are to be performed upon the dead body just before cremation.
