Diwali Festival in India, Deepawali Festival

Deepawali is the biggest festival celebrated in South Asia. It is the festival of lights which illuminates the atmosphere with its brilliance and bliss. Diwali memorializes the return of Lord Rama along with Sita and Lakshman from his fourteen year long exile and defeating the demon-king Ravana. In celebration of the return of their king, the people of Ayodhya, illuminated the kingdom with mud diyas and burst crackers.

The first day of the festival Naraka Chaturdasi marks the defeat of the demon Naraka by Lord Krishna and his wife Satyabhama. Amavasya, the second day of Deepawali, marks the worship of Lakshmi, the goddess of wealth and she fulfills the wishes of her devotees. On the third day of Deepawali, Bali (Amavasya also tells the story of Lord Vishnu, who in his dwarf incarnation defeated Bali, and excel him to hell. Bali was allowed to return to earth once a year, to light millions of lamps to dispel the darkness and ignorance, and spread the radiance of love and wisdom) steps out of hell and rules the earth according to the boon given by Lord Vishnu. The fourth day is called as Bhai Dooj) and on this day sisters invite their brothers to their homes and put tilak on their foreheads and in return, brothers give them gifts.

On Diwali the illumination of homes with lights and the skies with firecrackers is an expression of respect to the heavens for the realization of health, wealth and prosperity.

Deepawali legends prove the significance of the victory of good over evil and it is with each Deepawali that this simple truth finds new reason and hope. The light of diwali empowers us to commit ourselves to good deeds. During Diwali, lights illuminate every corner of this Earth and the sounds of fire-crackers, joy, togetherness and hope hang in the air. “Diwali festival is celebrated by all around the globe”.

Remedies and Protection against Saturn

It is not enough to just know about problems; more important is to do something to rectify it.

Astrology signatures are like weather forecast. Just like a weather forecast may or may not come true, sometimes astrological predictions even may or may not be seen as the way they are predicted. This does not prove that the astrologer is wrong in his calculation but human system and human life is very complex and only God can be right all the time.

We at www.cyberastro.com have no such pretence that we are God.

Our objective is when we predict rain and thunderstorm in your life; it is to caution you that in case you have to go out, you must take adequate precaution like umbrella, rain coat etc. We just cannot stop the rain.

All malefic planets like Saturn, Mars, Rahu and Ketu, no matter what their status in the chart will have some malefic aspects with respect to some areas in your life.
Our strategy for malefic planets is never to strengthen them with Gem stones but to harmonize them with “Yantra” “Kavach”, “Mantra” and “Prayers”.
The good part of these kind of remedies is that they are not costly like “Gem” stones or elaborate “Vedic Yagna”

Also these types of remedies never do any harm and as such can be opted by anybody irrespective of the condition of the planet in the chart. Please find below some simple but highly cost effective remedies that any person can adopt to protect themselves against the inauspicious effects of a malefic planet like Saturn .

1. Saturn Yantra, can be used by everybody at all time in their life.
2. Hanuman Kavach to protect oneself during Saade Saati (7.5 years cycle of Saturn).
3. A combination of Saturn Yantra and Moon Yantra can be a potent protection against Saade Saati or against 8th house or 4th house transit of Saturn.
4. A combination of Hanuman Kavach and Saturn Yantra is very effective if there is a combination of Saturn and Mars conjoined in one sign in a person’s chart, so if one of them or both are debilitated and retrograde in the natal chart. Or the combination makes the chart “ Mangalik”
5. The name mantra for Saturn is “OM SHANAISCHARAYA NAMAHA” The seed mantra for Saturn is “OM SHAM’ Pronounced as “Shum”. Regular chanting of the mantra for Saturn every day with devotion and faith will also be good protection.
6. If you believe in worship then worship of Lord Shiva or his consort Mother Kali will also be good protection.

However, change in your life style would be more important. Saturn requires self-discipline, renunciation, surrender, detachment, objectivity, and performing good karma regularly.

These Karmic expiation like prayer, atonement, chanting of Mantra, worship of the deity, and also donation to deserving charity based on your ability will definitely cleanse the influence of a negative Saturn in our life.

“Dressed in blue, dark blue in color, who has four arms, the son of the Sun, who appears fearful, whose nature is peaceful, whose vehicle is an ox, who moves slow, who carries a trident, bow and mace in his hands, with a blue sapphire crest jewel on his head, making the gesture that gives boons, may Divine Saturn ever grant his grace”

Krishna—The Various Roles of the Omnipotent

Who wouldn’t want to hear about the life of Krishna? He is the epitome of charm and the image of mysticism and in him we find the embodiment of Vishnu. He is the remarkable reincarnation of Vishnu and a significant part of Hindu faith. The delightful nature of Krishna has always sowed the impression of a mischievous child with a soulful compassion. Burdened by the greed of humans Bhoodevi, in the form of cow pleaded Vishnu to help her. Her request was granted and Devaki gave birth to two guardians-Baladeva and Vasudeva (Krishna). Birth Of Krishna On a dark night, when rain poured down heavily and there was a flash of lightning and roar of thunder, a dark-hued boy, Krishna was born out of Devaki’s womb. Cast by the spell, the people of Mathura were fast asleep. To protect the Guardian of the world river Yamuna parted her way and Vasuki, the king of serpents raised his mighty hood and protected Krishna and Vasudeva from the inexorable rain. The Days of Innocence Vasudeva left with Nanda and Yashoda and the very next day Pootana who was sent by kansa to kill the lord was sucked to death. Soon after that they left for Vrindavana, far away from the cruel clutch of kansa. In Krishna, Yashoda found her happiness, she treasured him and the people of Vrindavana admired him. He used to steal butter and play pranks on the gopi but the bemused expression and his childlike pronouncement made him the apple of everyone’s eye. The rhythm from his flute became the music of the world and they were so engrossed that they used to forget the worldly possessions and dance with the flow. This is known as the rasa-leela and among the gopi his dearest companion was Radha, in her he saw the embodiment of perfect love. Guardian of Villagers kansa time and again tried to kill Krishna but in vain. This disrupted the peace of the village but Krishna was always there as a guardian to protect them. Along with his brother Balaram he destroyed-Agha, the Python; Arista, the bull; Baga, the stroke; Keshi, the horse; Vatsa, the heifer; Vyoma, the goat. The best upon them is the dance he performed on the hood of the five-headed serpent, Kaliya after defeating him. To save his village and crush the ego of Vishnu Krishna raised Mt.Govardhana with his little finger and sheltered the dwellers from the torrential rains. Call of the Death It seems that kansa unknowingly announced his own death when he invited Balaram and Krishna to participate in the royal wrestling festival. The wrestlers were defeated without any effort and in the same event kansa was killed. This was the time when the people came to know that they were the sons of Vasudeva and Devaki. Krishna did not go back to Vrindavan because it was time for him to accomplish the mission that he had come for. Krishna and Balarama was sent to rishi Sandipani where they learnt all the skills in just sixty-four days. In return Krishna rescued his guru’s son from the clutches of Panchaja and claimed the conch shell as his trumpet---the music of victory (the end of evil) Bhoodevi was pleased to see Vishnu on earth in the form of Krishna and she too emerged from the fire-pit as Draupadi and married the pandava…. five noble prince who had the five qualities of an ideal king. The pandava who had lost their father at a very young age asked for their share of land and the kaurava gave them the undeveloped half on which with the help of Krishna, they built the Indraprastha, the prosperous city. The kaurava were envious and wanted to get the kingdom by any means. So, they called them for a game of dice in which the pandava lost everything. This was also the time when Draupadi was disrespected. No one was there for her but her faith in Krishna saved her and they were not able to disrobe her. It was at this time that Draupadi vowed she would not tie her hair until she washes it with the blood of kaurava.

Krishna The Various Roles of the Omnipotent

The Wheel Of Dharma Rolls. After thirteen years they returned from the exile and claimed for their Kingdom but the kaurava were not willing to part from it. To avoid bloodshed Krishna suggested the kaurava to give them at least five Villages but Duryodhana was not willing to give them anything. The lord was angry and was ready to wage a war to safeguard Dharma. The pandava chose Krishna rather than the huge army and Krishna in turn became the charioteer (sarathy) of Arjuna. Before the war began Arjuna was not in the situation to fight against his own people. There were people he disliked, the kaurava but there were also elders whom he respected and loved. Krishna Revels His True Self. It was time for Krishna to revel his divinity. He made Arjuna realize that what he was doing was not for him. It was for the benefit of the people and the protection of Dharma. Krishna showed his cosmic form (Vishvarupa) to Arjuna and he was convinced. He took up his bow and arrow and started to fight against evil. The words said by Krishna have been written in the holy book, Bhagavad Gita. The pandava after much blood shed won the battle and Draupadi as vowed washed her hair with the blood of the kaurava and tied it. Door of Doom Opens. Gandhari, mother of the kaurava cursed Krishna and said that he will also see the degeneration of his clan and die like a common beast at the hands of a hunter. Years later he did see the fall of his dynasty and was killed by a hunter who mistook his foot for the ear of a deer and shot a poisonous arrow. Krishna left for Vaikuntha and promised that who follows the wheel of dharma would find a place in his Vaikunth (paradise). This was the dawn of Kali-yuga.
