“Anaahat-Naad”
‘ANAAHAT NAAD’ as the name suggests is that ‘Naad’ or ‘Sound’ which has been produced without the help of a musical instrument or without disturbing any other object. It is produced by itself. (Most of the sounds are produced when two or more things hit each other or come into contact with each other. Therefore, this kind of sound is categorised as ‘Aaahat Naad’ or ‘Aahat sound’. ) The sound which has come alive by itself in this universe ( ब्रम्‍हांड )that sound of Almighty is called ‘Anaahat Naad’ or ‘Brahamanaad’. In the beginning, of the Universe, there was the origin of the sound or naad, named ‘Aum’ ॐ. And therefore, this sound of ‘Anaahat Naad’ is also called ‘Braham-Naad’. And this, self produced ‘Naad’ is ‘Anaahat Naad’.
A large section of the Rishis, and the Munis is the worshipper of ‘Anaahat Naad’. In this whole Universe, there are 36 zones (or ‘Mandals’) in all and each one has its own ‘Naad’ (or sound), and from amongst them only 10 can be heard, and the rest 26 cannot be heard. These 26 types of Anahat Naad can only be experienced with the help of the ‘Invisible Eyes’ (or ‘the Third Eye’). These sounds are of great importance and provide great strength.
A beginner who has been initiated to learn the subject (‘a saadhaka’) should practice ‘Anaahat Naad’, in the early hours only after finishing off his early morning rituals. For this, one should lie down in ‘Shaava-asana’ ( शवासन ) and with the help of his thumbs (of both the hands), he should close his ears. And by this process, he will experience a strange sound and it should be heard only from the right side (i.e., his right ear). Because the words heard from the left side are of ‘Maya’ and they are worth discarding ( त्याज्य ). Slowly and slowly, in due course of time, through practice, one can start hearing this ‘Anaahat Naad’, without even closing his ears. This is completely a matter of hard practice ( साधना ) .

‘JAPA’ – Its Significance
The Scientists, researchers and the psychologists, after a lot of research work being carried out by them have come to a concussion that the eruption of thoughts or ideas time and again, or the rise of different words has a long-lasting effect on the human mind. And a time comes when these words form the basis of a ‘Mantra’ by themselves (as it becomes a part of the ‘Mantra’). If these ideas or thoughts are good and full of pleasure and are soothing to the human mind, and the ‘Mantras’ are for the benefit of the human beings, then the results are very much beneficial to the human being. They make him feel the Eternal Bliss (or the Blissful State).
On the other hand, if the ideas or thoughts are not good and do not provide any pleasure, or these ideas are put forth in order to displease someone, then the results are not at all good. A person of humane nature who thinks only about the welfare of the mankind, should always stay away from such harmful thoughts.
At times, when a person comes across such circumstances, that is because of his deeds which he had done earlier. The deeds because of which he faces the situation they can be treated only by way of ‘Japa’. And in such a situation, the suffering faced in the form of the results of his ‘karma’ can be corrected only by the induction of good deeds.
Just as, if in a pot filled with water, the sand is being added, then that sand settles at the bottom of the pot. As the quantity of sand will increase, the level of water shall also increase. After a stage, when the quantity of sand increases in the pot, the water starts overflowing from the pot and a time comes when the whole pot will be empty and there will be only sand left in it. Similarly, when by way of the ‘Japa Sadhana’, a saadhak (or a worshipper) increases the good qualities of his Lord in his mind (which is like a pot here), and then by way of Maditation one can push off the bad qualities (or get rid of his unwanted bad sanskaras) which are like water. Thus the significance and goodness of the ‘Japa Sadhana’ is being proved.

MANTRA — AT THE ALTAR OF SCIENTIFIC THOUGHTS
“MANTRA” is a scientific thought process. There is no place for ‘Imagination’. The science of Mantras is completely and clearly based on the ‘Laws of science’ ¼oSKkfud fl)kar½. Infact, according to some modern thinkers, the strength of the mantras (or ‘Mantra-Shakti’) is considered to be a superstition. First of all, because of the reality that there are very few people left who know about the strength of the Mantras. And secondly, those who follow, that is also because of the system which has been prevalent, where it is being passed on from the teacher (Guru) to his student (Shishya)! And these students wanted to retain this precious knowledge to themselves only, and did not want to part with it and pass it on to others, as they considered it to be a ‘Sin’. The teachers (Gurus) also imparted the knowledge of these Mantras to only those students (or Shishyas) who were initiated to learn the subject in a proper way as prescribed in the religions scriptures. And it was very much essential for such students (or Shishyas) to wear only the basic undergarment and sit beside the sadhus and Tapasvis, in line with them and were to give an assurance to the Guru that — “This knowledge shall be kept a secret, and only before their death it would be passed on to the most eligible student by taking an assurance from him.” Apart from this, those few people who were keen to learn the basics of this subject, they are also unable to learn them. And therefore, a very important part of Indian Astrology, started by the Indian Scholars and the great Rishis, ‘The knowledge and Importance of the Mantras’ is becoming extinct from this land of Religions.
According to the Laws of Physics, the Mantras can be studied in two ways — (1) The sounds of the words, (2) Internal Electrical Impulse. In Modern Science, it is defined as ‘Alpha Waves’. Therefore, in the form of a law — (1) Laws of sound, and (2) Law of Internal Electrical Mantra. Whenever a Mantra is recited, it produces ‘Sound’. With the production of sound, the vibrations are produced from the Ether and because of the vibrations, the sound is converted into waves and mixes in the atmosphere. And alongwith it the Internal Electricity also, (in the form of electric current), dissolves in the atmosphere. This internal current which is produced because of the “Recitation of words” and is present in the form of waves, sends these waves produced from the words and sent towards a particular person concerned or towards a particular direction, helps in the achievement of success in tasks in hand.
Now, the question arises as to how this Internal Electrical current is being generated. The researchers have accepted that when one is meditating with full concentration, (i.e., a person is in the Dhyan, Manan and Chintan Awastha), at that time, because of the Chemical activity, an electricity like current flows through the body of the person (which can be called the electricity/or electric current of our body), and a peculiar form of ‘Vibrating Current’ is produced in the Mind ¼efLr”d½ which is named ‘Alpha Waves’. (We can also call it — ‘The Current From Mind’). This ‘Alpha Wave’ when combines with sound waves which are produced during the ‘Recitation of Mantras’ and effect another person or helps in the attainment of the desired objective. And, ultimately, helps in the achievement of success in the desired objective for which the Mantras are being recited. This ‘Current of Mind’ or ‘the Alpha Waves’ can be called ‘The Current of knowledge’.

HOROSCOPE & ‘MANGALI-DOSHA’
While matching the horoscopes of the girl and the boy, one must match not only “the Ashtakoot-Milan” but alongwith it the ‘Mangali-Dosha’ should also be examined carefully. The ‘Mangali - Dosha’ should neither be exaggerated so as to create fear in the minds of the girl’s parents nor it should be avoided. People have a wrong notion that it is very difficult to search a mangalik girl or a mangalik boy. As a consequence, despite knowing about the Mangali - Dosha in their child’s horoscope, the parents deny about it to the other party. But such parents must know that the reality is that out of 12 children, 7 children have mangali-dosha in their horoscope. Hence, about 40% of the children are ‘Mangalik.’ Therefore, it should not be treated as a problem. For this, all those Parents whose sons and daughters are of marriageable age, they must know whether their son or daughter is a mangalik or not? And they should try to know what in reality is a ‘Mangalik’? And what are its various effects of being a Mangalik?
How does one have a Mangalik-Dosha in the horoscope ?
In the birth-chart of a person, if in the ‘Lagan’ (the first house of the birth-chart), the Fourth, the Seventh, the Eighth and in the Twelfth house, if there is the planet Mars ¼eaxy½] then it is called ‘Mangalik.’ In other words, there is ‘Mangali-Dosha’ in the horoscope of the person concerned. Apart from these aspects (or houses) / (or Bhavas), some intellectuals are of the opinion that the position of planet Mars in the second house is also considered as ‘the Mangalik-Dosha’. In other words, if in the horoscope of the boy, if the planet Mars is not situated in any of these houses then that boy is not a perfect match for the girl in question. And if in the horoscope of the girl, if there is planet Mars situated in any of these houses then she is not a perfect match for the boy in question.
But only this yoga cannot be taken as a cause of death of any person. There are other reasons as well which have to be taken into consideration. After all, why is the planet Mars considered to be an obstacle in the married life of a person? There are other malefic planets as well. It is because the planet Mars is predominantly considered to be a ‘Fire Element’ (Agni Tattava). If the boy or the girl is not Mangalik then the results of this planet are in the form of extreme anger, as a consequence, it can damage the love life of the newly married couple.
Now, we should try to analyse that why in these aspects (or bhavas) only, the situation of the planet Mars is considered to be a damager of the married life?
The 12th house tells us about the martial relations and in this house, the planet Mars hinders the martial life and the sexual relations. The 4th house is related to the happiness in married life and the planet Mars in this house creates problems in the achievement of the martial bliss. The 7th house relates to the spouse (i.e., husband or wife) and here, Mars, creates hindrances related to the mutual understanding between the couple. The 8th house relates to the life span of the wife or husband and here the planet Mars decreases the life span. The presence of Mars in any of these houses or the reflections of Mars on these houses damages the married life of a person by creating problems from time to time.
How to tackle ‘Mangali-Dosha’?
If there is malefic Mars in the horoscopes of both – the boy as well as the girl, and there is ‘Mangalik-Dosha’, then in such a situation, if they get married then this Mangalik-Dosha is being checked by itself, and this type of match is considered to be the best match.
Otherwise, if from amongst the two of them the boy and the girl-only one of them has Mangalik-Dosha and in the other horoscope, from amongst the first, second, fourth, seventh, eighth and twelfth houses any one has Saturn or Rahu in it, then also the malefic effects of Mars, decrease (or diminish).

BLESSINGS OF THE RISHIS (‘The Healer of Thy Self.’)

When we meet a person and shake hands with him, at that time, we are affected by the views of the other person. That is why, in our Indian Heritage, we find that people greet with folded hands. So that we do not get affected by their views and the internal energies of a person remain intact inside One’s self only. The Rishis and the Munis and our yogacharyas always bless us by putting their hand on our head, and this system of blessings is prevalent since time immemorial in our Indian society. Blessing a person by putting the hand on the head means if the person who is being blessed, if there is some lacuna in his internal energies to collect the positive rays do not affect us, then it is recharged.
This is the only reason why the human beings get energized unusually after being blessed by the rishis, munis, tapasavis and the yogis. Because of this, when we visit the tapobhumis or the ashrams of the tapasvis or any sacred place, our mind is at peace and the strong positive energies of the rishis which is spread over the entire region is being accepted by our mind and because of its effect only that we attain peace.
These days every person is tense, and worried about various aspects of his life. He is suffering because today materialism is at peak. Today, man has become a slave of machines. Everywhere there is artificiality. And even after completely engrossing himself in this materialistic world and attaining all the luxuries of life, still the human beings are dissatisfied. They don’t consider themselves to be the lucky ones. They don’t achieve mental satisfaction and hence, they are always in search of peace. And this SEARCH is, ultimately, Unending…….!

“DIVYA – CHAKSHU : The Third Eye
In the yogic scriptures, we find reference that – “Amongst the living beings, the human body which is regarded as ‘Supreme’ consists of three eyes –
(a) the 2 eyes, which can be seen by everyone; and
(b) the ‘Third Eye’ which is invisible.”

The great learned men, the intellectuals refer this ‘Invisible eye’ as the Third eye or Divya Chakshu. The yogacharyas call this ‘Suspenseful eye’ as “Shiva-Netra” as well and the Rishis and Munis call it ‘the Third Eye’. Generally, it is believed that that this Third Eye is with Lord Shankara only. But it is a myth. The yogacharyas are of a very clear view that every human being possesses this Third Eye and it is present in our “Agayachakra” . Every human being can especialize and energize his ‘Divya - Chakshu’ or open (activate) his Third Eye.

After a human being closes his eyes and goes off to sleep and enters the dream zone of his mind and the person visits the dream zone of his mind and the person visits the dream world, all this happens in the light of this ‘Third Eye.’

Those human beings who are able to energize their Divya-Chakshu, they not only gain knowledge (without physically reading or intaking knowledge, this knowledge is called ‘Brahm-Gyan’ ), but also come closer to the world of science. They are able to reap the benefits of the ‘intellectual world’ or the ‘world of knowledge.’ The person is able to concentrate. He is able to differentiate, very clearly between the well-wishers and the people who are against him. The person is able to view his future. And ultimately, the person is able to make the necessary changes in his life style, or his way of living and reach a level, where his mind is always fresh and cheerful and his body is always cleansed of the impurities, and he is in a position to maintain good health and he is, even, able to come closer to the God, ‘ the ALMIGHTY’.

What is Death?
Life is like an eternal stream. Each of us has been living since time immemorial and would continue to do so for millions of years in future. Ignorance of facts makes us believe that life begins in the womb of mother during pregnancy and ends with cessation of functions of heart and brain. It is a myopic point of view– a misleading concept. Modern medical science would make us believe that soul has no independent existence of its own, that the body itself is the totality of a living entity and the being is lost forever on death of the body, But Alas ! Physical sciences themselves are even today in infancy. Take for instance the subject of velocity of electricity. So far, over three dozen theories have been advanced in this context each contradicting the earlier ones. No doubt man has learnt to make use of electrical current, but he is still uncertain about its mode of propagation. To the material world the ever-changing theories of physical sciences may not matter much but it would be unfortunate for mankind to apply the same norms to research in spirituality. Whereas scientists consider body itself as the total existence of a living being, a research scholar of spirituality puts forward evidences of paranormal activities of the departed, defying explanation by material sciences. Then there are authenticated versions of small innocent children, who have identified places and people of their past lives proving beyond doubt that a being goes through cycles of birth and death again and again. Sucking milk from mother’s breast immediately after birth, itself indicates the presence in the infant of a memory from previous life. Extraordinary talents of many young children too are indicative of knowledge acquired in an earlier existence.
Soul (not mind which is recognized as soul in the west) and body are not one and the same entity. Just as one is required to change clothes according to the requirements of occasion, the soul too changes bodies. As it is not possible to wear the same clothes throughout one’s life, the soul with its infinite continuity in time, cannot dwell in the same body. That is why it seeks to find a new body again and again. Though, generally, one discards the old worn and torn clothes only, at times it becomes necessary to do so prematurely, when they are accidentally damaged, torn or have become unusable on account of some other reason. Likewise, though the soul continues to live in the body till the later becomes infirm due to old age or diseases, it may also leave it at a younger age in a contingency.

The Words of Pt. SHRIRAM SHARMA ACHARYA Ji

            Astrologers while studying a Birth-chart analyze the Grahadasa and Antaradasa and the after effects of different planets and in this context, then they try to see how much good or bad, these effects are in the birth-chart. But as far as the effects of the planet ‘Saturn’ are concerned, the astrologers consider it as a planet which is too harsh in nature. Regarding the Mahadasa of Saturn, the astrologers view it as a period which signifies “Suffering, full of sorrows, and losses, etc”. in the life of a human being. The person concerned is unable to see anything or visualize anything and his mind is blank (or ‘Shunaya’) and he is unable to think rationally. The person feels lethargic. He is unable to think properly. He is not rewarded properly. Time and again his near and dear ones abuse him. Even the readers will agree that whatsoever is being said about the effects of the planet Saturn, during its Mahadasa, is absolute truth.

          Generally, it is said that Saturn is like a Judge, and possesses the powers just as the powers possessed by a Judge. But in every birth-chart its effects are different. It behaves not only as a planet which punishes a human being but it does give various other results as well. For example, if Saturn is in Taurus or Libra rashi and in the ‘Kendra sthan’ (centre  of the birth-chart), or it is in the birth chart as a yogakaraka in Kendra, or in ‘Trikonesh’ or if  ‘Kendresh along with Trikonesh’ or if  ‘Trikonesh and then in Kendresh’ then during its mahadasha, Saturn has the following good results like in agricultural activities, cattle and the herd, servants, a good remuneration, money, materialistic goods (luxuries), success in achieving goals, a good flourishing business, state honours, political benefits, etc. Therefore, it is clear that Saturn gives not only malefic results but also benefic, and these results depend on the different situations. In different situations, at times just like other planets, it gives us peace and prosperity. To declare Saturn as a planet ‘full of sorrows’ is a perception shared by thinkers and people at large. This is however, far from the truth. The reality is that Saturn helps one in the realization of truth and a just and an equitable planet.

          ‘‘Aayurjeevan, mrityukaran, vipat, sampat, pradata shani’’

आयुर्जीवन, मृत्यूकरण, विपत, संपत, प्रदाता शनि ||

            Lord Shani bestows his blessings on all beings, in return for only being worshipped and remembered.

          It is, however, another matter that in this mortal life human beings indulge less in good deeds and spend most of their energies in bad deeds. Thus, true to the system of justice the human beings bear punishment more than being rewarded. Therefore, this is also the reason, why this planet Saturn is considered more as inauspicious and one that inflicts punishment for wrong deeds. Traditionally, Lord Saturn is so perceived and worshipped –

          ‘‘Neelanjansamabhasam raviputram yamagraJam| Chhayamartand – sammootam tam namaami shaneshcharm||’’

नीलन्जनम समाभासम रविपुत्रम यमग्रजम | छायामार्तंड सम्मूतम तम नामामी शनेशचरम ||

            This form of Lord Saturn reminds us of the Judge wearing his long robes and encircled by several advocates dressed in black coats. The verse above means- ‘‘I worship Lord Saturn who embodies such form – with a dark blue aura and jet black demeanor with a radiant glow (All Judges wearing their black robes look as if carrying a radiant glow), he is the son of Lord Suryadev (‘Sun’ is the king amongst the planets and has given birth to Lord Saturn), he is the elder brother of Lord Yama (Lord Yamraj symbolizes ‘a Jailor’ of ‘a hangman); he is born of Chhaya and Martand (Sun’s reign. Light and shade (chhaya) – are the symbols of darkness. Somewhere its light and Somewhere its darkness (crime), because of which these are born. Its a slow moving planet (“In the courts the dispensation of Justice is a long and a tardy process. That is why, it is said – “In the Lord’s court, there may be delays, but the Justice is done”). For delays in Judicial matters, it is wrong on the part of the people to blame the Judicial system.

          Hence, the verse is very appropriate in describing the view point of a Judge, as it says – “I offer my prayers to a Judge who is a Jet black demeanor (it is like the colour of ‘kajal’) with a radiant glow, who is karmaputra of the reigning power, who is appointed as the chief-administrator by the reigning power, he is appointed by the reigning  power because of the tensions created by the human beings during darkness (or we can say the crimes committed by the bad elements during darkness), and apart from these, he is the one who might be a slow mover and because of a lot of thinking process, it might be delayed but the Justice done is the true  Justice and in the right perspective.”

          The similarity between a Judge and Lord Saturn is just because of their external appearances, but more important is their internal similarity. In the birth-charts of all the Judges, civil servants, philosophers, scientists, etc. the Lord Saturn plays a very vital role in helping them achieve the highest positions. Apart from this, when a person is about to be punished for his bad deeds, at that time also Lord Saturn’s effects are there. Whether, they are in the form of Mahadasha or Antaradasha or Sadhesati, the results are always against the wishes of the person concerned.

          If the rewards are against the wishes of the person concerned then, generally, Lord Saturn’s results are in the following forms, for example – disease, illness, loss of finances, attachment to someone else or going to Jail, separation from near and dear ones, death of someone in close relations, or getting a disease which is equivalent to death, agitation (i.e., retaliation) or quarrels in the family, etc. If the food-habits of a person are irregular then he might get some sort of health problem. And to get rid of such problems, during the ‘dasha-antaradasha’ or the period of ‘sadhesati’, the Lord Saturn gives illness to a human being, so that he can be cured by medicines. By this, he rectifies him and gives indication by putting him on the right path.

          Most of us know that immediately after the period of sadhesati, a human being feels fresh and on each and every individual, after every 30 years, Lord Saturn showers  his blessings. When a person is old, and during the third phase of his blessings, Lord Saturn removes all difficulties and forever.

          In this form, Lord Saturn is similar to a doctor who for the well-being of his patients, in the operation theatre, is not at all bothered by his cries, because the reality lies in the cure of the disease. Therefore, to blame Lord Saturn is wrong, Just as, a child is frightened on seeing an injection in the hands of the doctor.

          Similarly, when an individual accumulates wealth by indulging in wrong methods then Lord Saturn, during his dasha-antaradasha, definitely gives him loss of wealth. Similarly, to save the people at the hands of a cruel administrator, he very cruelly brings an end to the reign of such Emperor. If there is increase in social exploitation then like a revolutionary, Lord Saturn tries to bring in social change in the administrative system. Lord Saturn shows the right path to a person who is disheartened and feels helplessness. Therefore, Lord Saturn is like a “Revolutionary Thinker” or “Social Reformer.”

          A person is disturbed because of his increased desires and requirements. Lord Saturn, though being a Prince, willingly agreed to be a servant. He did not accept any Princely grandeur. Rather than accepting horses or elephants, he satisfied himself with ‘mahisha’ only. He did not accept gold or silver ornaments but accepted iron ones. Urad dal and mustard oil give him satisfaction. He is not at all fond of colourful silken attire but prefers simple clothes and that too black in colour. Lord Saturn who blesses the Politicians, Judges, advocates, philosophers, etc. and helps them in achieving high positions and live a life in a grand style. And similarly, if a person who is at a very high position but he is cruel, whether, he is an Emperor like King Vikramaditya or the Lord of the universe ‘Indra’ he punishes them and converts them into a beggar. But his own life is simple and without being ostentatious.

          So, we can definitely say that Lord Saturn is an incarnation of “Lord Shiva” who in order to make others drink ‘the Nectar of Life’ himself drank ‘Poison’

          Now, it is for you to contemplate that – ‘what if Lord Saturn was not to be there amongst the planets …….? Then this universe would have been a place full of darkness?
