Lord Muruga - Birthday on 19th May

'Murugan' literally means 'Beautiful one'. Where there is beauty, love shines; where there is love, truth radiates. When we seek the truth, we get freedom.
Lord Muruga is a symbol of eternal youth and wisdom. He is also considered to be the lord of Kundalini. 'Muruga' stands for the three divine functions - creation, protection and destruction, for 'Mu' represents Mukunda (Vishnu), 'Ru' Rudra (Shiva), and 'Ka' for Kamala ( Brahma).
The culmination of Shiva worship is the worship of his son Muruga variously known as Kanda, Subramanya, Karthikeya and host of other names. Muruga worship destroys bad karma and provides blissful body. He eliminates bad debts and diseases. His birthday falls on May 19 in the Vishaka star. Muruga carries with him a weapon called Lance or Vel . Lance is a weapon to destroy negativity and diseases.
The Kukuta (Rooster) homa is a very powerful fire ritual done to invoke one of Lord Muruga's powerful vehicles, the Rooster. Muruga's divine rooster has the ability to destroy negativity and ward off evil. It is a less commonly known ritual in India, but extremely powerful in nature and should only be done by qualified brahmin priests.
Subramanya Yantra is a mystical representation of Lord Muruga. Worshipping the Subramanya Yantra bestows material abundance, courage, power and helps in winning court, legal cases and all matters related to litigations. Since Lord Muruga is the overlord of Mars, regular worship of this yantra also enables to negate the ill effects of Mars.
Yogis or Siddha Masters knew how to access Muruga's grace by performing special abhishekams. Abhishekam to Vel is a powerful ritual to access Muruga's grace. Life's most important mission is the destruction of one's Karma and a perfect day to do this is on the vishaka day on May 19.

Money Miracles

"Money is like a sixth sense - and you can't make use of the other five without it".
This is very true as money is needed for all worldly matters.
Vishnupathy is a special day when money miracles happen.
Four times in a year Vishnu performs money miracles for his devotees or those who pray to him. The first miracle time for 2008 just passed in February 2008. However a second one is coming and it is May 14. This Vishnupathy is very special as this time as it falls on a Wednesday and Mercury rules Wednesday. The presiding deity for Mercury is Lord Vishnu.
Vishnu and his consort Lakshmi are in charge of money and other material things. The Siddhas are masters of time and advise that you cannot pray randomly. There is a time to pray to each deity. For instance you should pray to Ganesha on the 4th moon, Muruga (Subramaniam) on the 6th moon, Bhairava on the 8th moon, Vishnu on the 11th moon and Siva on the 13th moon and the new moon. Apart from the general, there are also special days and times.
According to Vedic tenets, Vishnu Yantra is the best way to worship Lord Vishnu. Lord Vishnu is the second of the Trinities and is the preserver. Worship this Yantra to accomplish your targets, protect your heath from ailments and to accumulate wealth. This also protects you from negative forces.

Vaastu Dosha

What is Vaastu?
Vaastu is a complete understanding of direction, geography, topography, environment and physics.
The more we are becoming modern, the more we are going away from our Vedas, thus facing all the problems in the life.
Impulsive planning and unorganised architectural methods have led to the basic problem today i.e. DISHARMONY.
In all, Vastu is a bridge between man and nature.If you are a qualified and brilliant person and still not able to find a job or not able to run a business successfully, then you must go for a consultation. If at house you start fighting with your spouse without reason or your children are not listening to you then you must go for a Vastu consultation.
Vastu is not a religion it's a science of setting the things correctly and balance the five elements that is Earth, fire, water, space, and air to have the maximum benefit out of life. If your house or work place is violating any principle of vastu, that is a Vastu dosh.
Remedies:
A Vastu dosh can be corrected through the changes in the rooms, through interiors of the house, by changing the placements, by using regulators or using some charged objects. Every vastu dosh has some remedy and if taken properly, the happiness and peace comes back in the life again.

Love Sign Compatibility

Your love sign compatibility, also known as your astrological compatibility, shows how compatible your zodiac sun sign matches with another individual's zodiac sign. Relationship astrology experts state that each person is compatible or incompatible with other people based on their birth dates and zodiac signs. To define this compatibility, we generally compare your element group to the other element groups in the zodiac chart.
Zodiac Elements and their Effect on Love Sign Compatibility:
The four elements of the zodiac define the temperament and orientation of each zodiac sign. Because these elements are rooted in your personal characteristics, they have a strong effect on your romantic compatibility. You tend to very comfortable with those that share your element. By comfortable, we mean that friendships between signs that share elements are formed easily, though this doesn't necessarilly translate into romantic compatibility.
First, the elements are:
Fire: Aries, Leo, Sagittarius
Fire represents enthusiasm, urge, and strong wills.
Earth represents practical, more material concerns.
Air represents abstract thought.
Water represents feelings, emotions, and empathy.
Fire and Earth elements primarily focus on self, while Air and Water tend to focus more on others. Fire and Air tend to be extroverts, optimistic, and free, while Earth and Water are introverts, pessimistic, passive, and secure.
Your Love Match
When analyzing your compatibility, you tend to be most comfortable with those that share your element, though in some cases this does not translate into romantic compatibility. Your best love matches fall into your shared element or into the element that matches with your element. For example, fire is most compatible with the element air and earth is most compatible with water.

Some Astrological questions answered

What is Astrology?
Astrology is the study of the cycles of movement of the Sun, Moon, and Planets. From Egypt and Babylonia through ancient Greece, to modern day, astrology has been used to gain a better understanding of how mankind in general and people as individuals fit into the Universal Cosmos.
What is the difference between an Astrological Sign and a Horoscope?
An Astrological sign is determined by the Sun's position at the time of birth. A Horoscope is a map of the heavens, showing the exact position of the Sun, Moon, and Planets, calculated using the exact date, hour and location of birth. Horoscope can provide insight into an individual's personality traits.
How do the Horoscopes that I read in the Newspaper or Magazines fit into all this? Strictly speaking, newspaper and magazine Astrology columns practice "Sun Sign Astrology." Each individual has a completely unique birth chart, and each individual will respond to that chart, in his or her own way because we all have free will and ultimately can determine and choose what we make of our lives.
What is a Rising Sign and why is it important? The Rising Sign or Ascendant is the sign that is on the eastern horizon at the exact time of birth. It is also the sign that rules the first house of a person's chart. The birth time of the individual, and each house represents a basic field of activity. The meanings of the houses are modified when a planet occupies them. The rotation of the Earth causes the signs and the planets to pass through all twelve houses each day, one approximately every two hours.
What does it mean when Astrologers say that a planet "rules" a sign?
Rulerships or dignities are a rather thorny subject among Astrologers. What is meant by saying a planet "rules" a sign is that when positioned in that sign, a planet expresses its energy more naturally, with greater strength and expression.

The most significant problem is that, a person with a Kuja Dosha will not feel much physical attraction to another with Kuja Dosha. In Match making most famous and vicious problem is Mangal Dosh. In reality, it is not Mangal Dosh but it is called sumanglik dosha , it means problem in auspicious events of marriage life. It means that problem in something auspicious or good. In other words, stoppage in something auspicious or good work is known as Mangal Dosh. This dosh is known as very big problem in married life.This dosha affects both married and unmarried people .
A girl is considered to be a Mangalik, if the Mars is placed either in the first, fourth, seventh, eighth or twelfth house of her horoscope. A girl having a ‘Mangalik dosha’ or ‘Vishakanya Yoga’ present in her horoscope has a threat of becoming a widow. A ‘kumbha-Vivaha’ is a must for such a girl.
Remedy:
1. The way out of Kuja Dosha is for a person with Kuja Dosha to Marry an Another with Kuja Dosha
2. If the first house is Aries or Mesha and Mars is in Aries the Kuja Dosha is not effective as Aries is the Own House of Mars.
