Grah Shanti Upaya

Most people look out for an astrology help or some
sacred support when they are in trouble. And most places they get confusing
remarks from the so called astrologers or those contractors of heavenly
divinity saying ‘your so and so planet is
heavy’ or you have a pitra dosh in your
horoscope and to please those planets or the pitras
you must get a hawan
or pooja
done for so many days… and the pandit says I will do pooja for your Grah Shanti….
I always feel pity for those people and think about
the ‘maya’ of God who makes them fool…I often
remember the saying ‘Jako
Prabhu Darun Dukh Dehi, Taki
Mati Pahale Har Lehi’…meaning when God
wants to give severe trouble and problems to someone, He takes out the
intelligence first.
People tend to live in their mental castles and
keep on denying the root cause of their problems; they are unable to accept the
fact that the root cause of their problems is they themselves. How can someone
else be the root cause of one’s own problems? You call it past life Karmas or
this life Karma’s, what you are getting from life today is the outcome of your
own Karmas, your own thoughts. In most cases the problems can be related to be
the results of past karma’s of present life, and where we can’t relate those to
the present life’s karmas, astrology provides us the theory of past life
karma’s to justify what you are getting today.
I am unable to understand how someone can get rid
of his / her own karma by getting a pooja or havan done by pandits, real support from heavenly powers come only when
you do purusharth
or your own efforts. You can not satisfy your hunger by someone else eating
food on your behalf, similarly no pandit can do a pooja or havan for you which will do good
for you.
Therefore we at ‘Vedang Jyotish’ don’t believe in any Grah Shanti Upaya or any havan or pooja which is done by those so
called astrologers or pandits. I request all the innocent people to
understand the fact that no one can help you other than you, yourself.
An astrologer can only provide you a guidance of
what is being depicted from your horoscope, what kind of dasha
you may get in near or later future, this guidance should be more than enough
for a common human being, the self efforts should be diverted to smoothen your
life efforts once you know where your destiny can take you based on the
promises present in your horoscope.
There are only two ways of correcting your past
lives or present life’s karmas. They are ‘Karma’ which you can do with your
Free Will in your coming days or ‘Bhakti’,
there can not be a third way out to change your destiny.
So take charge of your destiny and put your best efforts to take yourself to wherever you want to take. Good Luck…may God help you
