T here were tall trees. They seemed to be kissing
the sky. All around he saw greenery, plants filled
with flowers and fruits. The variety of plants made the
surroundings look exquisitely attractive. The fragrance
of flowers greeted the visitor. Beautiful animals such as
rabbits, reindeer, and peacocks were moving about freely.
One could hear the melody of the songs of cuckoos all
around. They seemed to welcome Satyakama. Streams
were flowing, making pleasant sounds. It was a pleasure
to watch the pellucid waters of these streams. When one
went near they made him extremely happy. Satyakama’s
happiness knew no bounds.
Satyakama went across the greenery and suddenly he was
greeted by the melodious chanting of Vedic Mantras. He
was entering an altogether different world. The smoke
from homakundas had enveloped the entire area and
that made the place look holy. Those who breathed the
air filled with the homadhooma would be in the pink of
health. Their eyes shone with luster. A number of young
Brahmacharis of Satyakama’s age were collecting
Samith and Darbha, the holy grass, and chanting the
Vedic Mantras.
Siddhi Times USA 4
When Satyakama entered the ashram, a conference of
learned men was taking place in the main hall. It was
presided over by the sage Gowthama Haridruma himself.
He had a long beard; he had holy ash smeared on his
forehead; he had a string of Rudrakshi around his
neck; he had a Kamandala (a vessel of holy water); he
wore a pair of padukas and his clothing was saffron in
color. One could see that he was chanting a holy mantra
and he had a innate radiance on his face by which he
could attract everyone. The new disciple was very much
impressed by the sage’s appearance.
He was lucky to have the “darshan” of this great sage who
knew the past and could see the future. He was beyond
the “thrigunas” and would treat everyone in an unbiased
fashion. Satyakama felt that he had acquired divine eye
sight; he felt like a lame person regaining the use of his
legs, and that he had acquired what he had been looking
for, for a long time. It was as if he had been foraging for
a rare herb, and he found it without much effort.
In the great assembly the learned sages put forth their
views on the subject: “The Right to knowledge.” At the
end, the great Gowthama began to give his views on the
subject:
Om ricassamani yajoogumshi I
Sa ni shriramritha satam II
(The three Vedas, Rig, Yajur, and Sama are the eternal
sources of knowledge for the well-disposed human
being). He then said, “I thank all the learned Acharyas.
A lot of discussion has gone on, so far, regarding the
subject namely, who has the right to knowledge. A very
simple answer to the question, in that, everyone has the
right to knowledge, according to the Upanishads.”
The early part of the Vedas deals with the Karma Kanda
(doing one’s duties) - the study of which is not very easy.
It requires great devotion and hard work. Even a small
mistake in the pronunciation could lead to the wrong
interpretation, and in such a case the performer will not
get the desired result.
 But the Upanishads, which form the essence of Vedas,
are the concluding part of the holy texts. Therefore they
are referred to as Vedantha and Jnanakanda, what is
explained in the Upanishads is the light which brightens
every soul. It is the same in the case of everyone. The
ultimate goal of everyone in life is to see that, and to
understand it. Everyone is entitled to this knowledge.
Our ancient sages refer to ‘Saptadweepa vasundhara,’
that is: the whole world and all the people living in it
have a right to the wealth of knowledge found in these
Upanishads.
Complete knowledge is not the monopoly of any one
individual. In this way the thinking of our ancient
wisemen transcended caste and creed, place and time. It
was really very broad minded and liberal in essence.
Deliverance, or Mukti, the ultimate release from the bonds
of repeated births, should not be mistaken as a state that
one attains after death. One who journeys in along the
path of knowledge and wisdom can get deliverance even
while living and he can enjoy bliss during his life time.
There is no sinner according to Hindu belief. Every life
is sacred and we are all children of immortality.
“O children of immortality, just listen to this massage,”
thus the great sage addresses us all. “Every one should
strive to attain this awareness. In order to achieve this we
have to seek the help of men of wisdom.
Everyone can attain this supreme state through the
‘satsang’ of good people and by following the path of
such good ones. Live according to Dharma; speak good
words, and do good deeds. Let everyone tread this path.
Let everyone try to have a glimpse of the sun of wisdom,”
thus concluded the great sage.
Sahanavavatu, sahanow bhunaktu I
Sahaveeryam karavavahai II
Thejaswina vatee tamastu I
Ma vidwishavahai II
Om shanthih, shanthih shanthih II
The seminar of wise men concluded with this Shanthi
mantram. At the conclusion of the meeting of the wise
men, Satyakama placed the bundle of Samith(Sticks
meant for holy fire offerings) he had brought at the feet
of the great sage and prostrated before him and said with
great humility, “O great Kulapathi, you are the one to be
remembered first in the morning. I surrender myself at
your feet. I beg you to accept me as your disciple and allow
me to serve you. I am interested in acquiring knowledge.
You are my Guru, and you are Brahma, Vishnu, and
Maheshwara to me. Please bless me.”
There was a great humility in his words. One could see
great devotion in him. The words he spoke came directly
from his heart. The chancellor, who heard him speak,
said, “Dear son, which Gotra (class identity and origin of
community) do you belong to? He sincerely said that he
did not know his gotra. The sage then asked him who his
father was. “O revered sage, so far I do not know who my
father is; I have not seen him. I know only my mother,”
he said in a childlike tone. Listening to the boy the sage
said the following words:
“Dear child, your mother should know the Gotra. Go and
ask your mother and then come back here.” Satyakama
agreed and returned home. He asked his mother for the
information: “Dear mother, the Kulapathi asked me
about my Gotra and my father’s name. As I did not know
anything about the details, I could not give him a specific
answer. He has sent me to you to get the information.
Tell me mother which Gotra I belong to.”
Jabaalaa was perplexed by what her son asked her. She
did not know her husband’s Gotra. She had not asked
him for the details because he was with her only for a
very short while. Jabaalaa told her son the following
simple truth. “My dear son, I do not know much about
your father. I was looking after the guests in this ashram.
Once, a nice young man came here and we fell in love
with each other. We married and you were born. I do
not know either his name or his Gotra. I am the mother
who gave birth to you Satyakama Jaabaala. I know this
much, and that is the truth. Go and tell the Kulapathi
what I have told you now.” Satyakama took his mother’s
blessings and went back to the sage’s ashram.

 The Significance of Navaratri
Sri Mathre Namaha
Goddess Parasakthi, wife of Lord Shiva is the united shape of
the holy trinity Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. She created this
universe. As it is very common to have a few bad things while
creating good things, a few evil spirits, called “Asuraas,” were
also created. Nobody was able to conquer them. So everybody
prayed Goddess Parasakthi to kill these evil manifestations and
protect the universe. So, Goddess Parasakthi killed all the evil
spiritss in a span of nine days. These days usually come in the
Tamil month Purattasi or Aippasi (According to the English
Calendar from the 3rd week of September to the 3rd week of
October). These nine days are called, “Navaratri,” and the 10th
day is called, Vijaya Dasami. This 10th day is the best day to
begin the learning of any kind of art or to start a new business.
If we pray to Goddess Parasakthi
on these days, it is sure that we
will get the best blessings from
Goddess Parasakthi. We have made
elaborate arrangements to celebrate
the Navaratri festivals here at the
Hindu Temple of Georgia. It is
the best to perform Deepa Pooja /
Thiruvilakku Pooja on any of these
9 days. For the convenience of the
devotees, we have made special
arrangements to perform this
Deepa Pooja /Thiruvilakku Pooja
on Sunday September 20th 2009,
from 10:00am onwards. Please
contact Temple for participation

made elaborate arrangements as

 Vedic Astrology.
In the last issue I explained
about nine stars. In this issue
I wish to explain about nine
more stars. All these are only
hints and guidelines. The
situation will vary according
to the individual’s horoscope.
Simply by knowing the star
or Nakshatra no problem can
be solved. To have spiritual
salvation of a problem, the
horoscope is a must. That
too the horoscope must be
calculated according to the
norms of Atharva Veda and
the Atharva Vedic Astrology.

Magham
Magham is ruled by the Ancestors. This is
10th nakshatra of the zodiac, ruled by the
node Kethu and spanning from 00°-00’
to 13°-20’ in the sign Leo, ruled by Sun.
Magham is derived from Maghamban.
Magham is the causes of brightness and
light. Magham stands for noble impulses

always be a noble one. It shows that we are
coming to the end of a cycle. Its condition

learned man, intelligent and is a winner.
Magham born will respect the elders
and their experience. They are straight
forward, do not like to harm others and
expect that others should not harm them in
any way. These people are often failures
if they undertake independent business,

respect from them.

and unions. This is the 11th nakshatra

and beauty, Venus. It is also called the
Bhagadaivata Star. It is the symbol of the

people, clever but cunning, lusty and
rough. They will have a long face and
are generally handsome. They do not
like underhand dealings and given a
chance, would like to prevent others
form indulging in those activities. Their
independent nature often makes them
difficult to enjoy the confidence of their

tend to suffer from headache, sinus or
high blood pressure. A person born in
this Nakshatra tends to be scrupulously
honest and cannot stand back quietly and
watch any illegal activity. Those born
under this nakshatra could suffer from
ailments like asthma and related breathing
troubles, dental problems and abdominal
complications.
Uttaraphalguni
Uttaraphalguni in the Vedic order is
ruled by Bhaga, the God of happiness.
This is the 12th nakshatra of the zodiac
ruled by Sun. This nakshatra spans from
26°-40’ in Leo to 10°-00’ in Kanya. The
lords are Ravi and Budha, symbol is a
bed. Uttaraphalguni indicates both the
need for union and for organizing the resources gained through

and do not like to be taken for granted by others. Those born

people have a certain aura of royal authority around them. They
will enjoy a satisfactory married life and they are happy with

to patronage, favor, granting reliefs, person approached for
monetary help or relief in sickness. A person born in this
Nakshatra will especially be successful in careers that are
associated with new beginnings like construction industry,
hospitality industry, event planning, publicity management, etc.
Those born under this nakshatra could suffer from ailments like
dental problems, gastric problems and bodily discomforts.
Hastham
Hastham is ruled by Savita, the creative form of the Sun
God. This is the 13th nakshatra of the zodiac, ruled by Moon.
Hastham spans from 10°-0’ to 23°-20’ in Kanya. The symbol is
a closed hand or fist. Hastham gives the ability to achieve our
goals in a complete and immediate manner. A person born in
this Nakshatra is famous, is religious minded, respects Brahmins
and learned people and possesses wealth. They are tall and thin
in physical appearance. They know how to win over the other
party; hence these people can be good diplomats or are suitable
for any profession. They do not have the formal education, but
they can carry out the responsibilities assigned to them through
their all round knowledge and efforts. A person born in this
Nakshatra is a very creative person and work very well with
their hands. Those who born under this nakshatra are good at
organizing and managing things. They also excel at jobs, which
involve a lot of traveling. People born in Hastham tend to suffer
from sinusitis, cough, cold and asthma. Overindulgence may
lead to high blood pressure and heart ailments. They are more
talented, wealthy, materialistic, fluent speaker, quarrelsome and
sacrificing tendency.
Chitra
Chitra is ruled by Twashta, the cosmic craftsman. This is the
“star of opportunity”. Chitra reflects the world of Maya
and delusions, which they are to over come. This
is the 14th nakshatra of the zodiac, ruled by
the fiery planet Mars. It spans from 26°-
40’ in Kanya to 6° -40’ in Thulam. The
symbol is the gem on the serpent’s crest
.It is anthropomorphically the forehead
of Kalapurush. In ancient time the star was
known as the ‘Star of Prosperity’. Chitra allows
us to gain the fruit of our good karma that comes
through righteousness. It has a highly spiritual
energy and effect. A person born in this Nakshatra
defeats his enemies gallantly, is an expert in politics
and has extraordinary intelligence. They enjoy good
health and always appear much younger than their actual
age. If a Chitra born native has a powerful Neptune in his/
her chart, the person will have dreams that can foretell the
future. Many of them will pursue higher education and will
retain a lifelong thirst for knowledge. Those born under this
nakshatra could suffer from ailments like kidney and bladder
troubles, psychiatric and brain disorders etc. They are earned,
sickly, magicians, superstitious, tactful and of hard mind.
Swati
Swati is ruled by Vayu, the God of the Wind. This is the fifteenth
nakshatra of the zodiac, having all its four quarters in Tula,
spanning from 6°-40’ to 20°-00’. This Nakshatra is concerned
with air, wind, breeze or knowledge of Akaash since Akaash is
the abode of air. Swati Nakshatra can be destructive unless we
learn how to use it to remove negativity. A person born in this
Nakshatra is endowed with tremendous beauty, flirts with many
women, is jolly and receives wealth from the king. Females
born in this sign and nakshatra walk as if they are thinking deep
before taking every step and trying to balance their body before
taking any further action. They do not like to do any injustice
to others neither do they like any injustice being done to them.
Swati people have an ability to “bend with the wind” in order
to survive the forces of change which they may encounter. A
person born under this star is good at buying and selling, his
wealth and property come and go quite easily. They are broad-
minded and attract people from diverse backgrounds. Many of
those born under this nakshatra will be involved in religious
or social work. Swati’s primary motivation is artha or material
prosperity. Raaghu, the ruling planet, can create a strong desire
for financial success and lust for life. They are cultured, learned,
famous, submissive to ladies, passionate and wealthy.
Vishakham
Vishakham is ruled by Indra and Agni,
who represents the powers of heat
and lightning in the atmosphere.
This is the “Star of
Purpose”. This is the
16th nakshatra of
the zodiac,
Siddhi Times USA 9
spanning from 20°-00’ in Tula to 3°-20’ in Vrishchika. Another
name of this star is Radha, a compliment to Anuradha, the birth
star of the Sun. It has the Symbol of a leaf-decked triumphal
gate. Vishakham does not give immediate results but perhaps
greater long term gains. Indra and Agni here are related to
agriculture showing the ripening effect of heat, rain and seasonal
changes. A person born in this Nakshatra is religious minded
having inclination towards performing rites and rituals etc., is
of unstable nature and unfriendly. Vishakham born have a well-
proportioned body, but they tend to be obese and put on weight
with the passing of age. Vishakham people can be envious or
covetous of the success of others. They may lack a strong social
network of friends and feel isolated and alone against the world.
Bitterness and resentment may result. Those born under this
nakshatra are likely to have a very happy marital life and will
make good marriage partners. A man born under this star works
at various things but hardly concentrates on any one of them.
They are an excellent communicator, and they write and speak
well. Females born in this nakshatra are beautiful and religious
in nature. They need to have a well balanced diet and should
exercise regularly to keep them fit. They will have a sweet
tongue and quiet diplomatic in their choice of words. They are
dreamers, liking astrology, administrators, brave, strong and of
charitable nature.
Anuradha
The Nakshatra Anuradha is ruled by Mitra, the Divine Friend.
This is the 17th nakshatra of the zodiac, spanning from 3°-
20’ to 16°-40’ in the sign of Vrishchika. Anuradha Nakshatra
gives balance in relationship, both honoring others and seeking
ourselves to be honorable. A person born in this Nakshatra
possesses luster and splendor, achieves fame, is enthusiastic, a
destroyer of his enemies, an expert in many forms of arts and a
sensualist. People born in this nakshatra also show some very
peculiar characteristics. Those born under this star have
to face several obstacles in their life, and hence they
have a somewhat defeated look on their face.
They can reside in foreign lands and achieve
success away from their homeland.
Anuradha people usually possess
good health and vitality. Called
the “star of success,” Anuradha
natives can demonstrate
organizational skills and
call others to activity.
Anuradha born,
are not on
good terms
with their
parents
a n d
other
Siddhi Times USA 10
close relations. Some of them may be creative, especially in the
performing arts. Many of them will shine in social and political
fields. Those born under this nakshatra could suffer from minor
bodily ailments like asthma, breathing trouble, cough and cold
and dental problems. They need to watch their dietary habits
due to an inability to bear hunger or thirst. They have a strong
appetite for life in general. They are learned, have deep devotion,
softness, musical talents, royal position, quickness.
Jyeshta
Jyeshta is ruled by Indra, the ruler of the Gods. This is the 18th
nakshatra of the zodiac, spanning form 16°-20’ to 30°-00’ in the
sign of Vrishchika. Jyeshtha means the eldest one, the senior most,
the chief one, more excellent than, preferred one or someone or
something supreme glorious. The person born under this star
is full of luster and splendor, achieves fame and greatness, is
rich, brave, a hero and an excellent conversationalist. The chief
deity is Indra, the King of the Gods and protector of heroes. He
is the divine warrior and “dragon slayer.” He rides the mighty
elephant, carries the thunderbolt and demonstrates the power of
truth. Indra is known for his daring nature, courage, power, and
glory. Jyeshta allows us to reach the summit of our personal
powers but it requires great courage and effort. People born in
this nakshatra possess a mix of the qualities of Mercury and
Mars. Jyeshtha born have excellent physical stamina and a good
physical appearance. The qualities make them appear like a very
proud person, but the facts are actually different. The people
born under this star are not very clear about the profession they
want to pursue for life, and hence keep on changing jobs or the
lines of business often. They are an expert at working with their
hands and at fashioning metals. They can be involved in religious
practices while simultaneously entrenched in materialistic
pursuits. The primary motivation of Jyeshtha is artha or material
prosperity. They are artistic, lover of ornaments, costly dresses,
dreamers, brave, agriculturists, philosophical and well-talented.
Even though I wish to discuss about all the
27 stars, the readers will get confused. So,
I wish to conclude this chapter with nine
stars only. In the next issue I will explain
more and more about the stars. I pray Lord
Shiva and Sri Vana Durga to shower their
entire blessings on all of us to have a very
comfortable living.

 Atharva Vedic Spiritual solution for recession.
Today, the greatest problem amongst
the job going people is recession. Why
the recession happens only to particular
persons? Somebody get good jobs even
though they are not qualified much and
somebody sticks on to that particular
job permanently. Whereas, some highly
qualified people suffer much due to the
recession. What is the reason for all these
things? Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar
replies in one sentence. That is Dharma
and Ishta Devathas Pooja. By properly
adopting the dharma and knowing the
Ishata Devathas through the Atharva
Vedic astrology and performing proper
Pooja to the proper deities give wonderful
Atharva Vedic spiritual salvation from
this worst problem.
This is the period of recession when
everyone is having problems of different
dimensions. Therefore it is better to know
the divine future so that a person is able to
know himself better from dharmic angle.
Why should we take this Dharma and
Ishta devathas report? What relevance it
has for the present day situation?
Dharma is the cornerstone of the Vedic
tradition and it encompasses all aspects of
human life. Thus a righteous way of life
is not just for spiritual progress but also
for leading a meaningful life in the world.
The oft-quoted dictum is that Dharma
protects one who upholds it. It is the only
armor that protects man and not worldly
power and your position which can easily
fall away. In Ramayana, when Lord Rama
went to the forest for 14 years, Kausalya
gives advice to Rama which provides
insight into the nuances of Dharma. She
blessed Rama: “May that Dharma protect
you on all sides”
Was this an expression of a mother’s
anxiety about her son’s welfare? It was
more. This is a pointer to the fact that in
the present day turmoil, if one worships
the dharma devatha and Ishta devatha,
and has unshakeable faith in its working,
he/she will be surely protected from all
the problems of present day life. Rama’s
life proved that even animals favored the
righteous while Ravana’s is a pointer to
Siddhi Times USA 14
the truth that even one’s sibling would
desert the unrighteous.
Through your Dharma and Ishta devatha
report you will have an inspiration to
broaden your horizons, and through
prayers to your Dharma devatha and Ishta
devatha
Our consultation will contain the
following:
1. Who is your Dharma devatha?
2. Who is your Ishta devatha?
3. How do you offer prayers to the dharma
devatha and Ishta devatha who can give
you deliverance in these hard times?
According to Hindu philosophy, there are
four Vedas. Among all the four Vedas,
Atharva Veda is the only Veda that
describes the usage of the super human
power to solve the problems faced by
the human beings. The diagnostic part of
the Atharva Veda is the Atharva Vedic
Astrology. Vedic astrology is as old as
the Vedas. That too The Vedas, which
are the sacred Hindu scriptures, embody
eternal knowledge. To the uninitiated,
the Vedas might appear as nothing more
than ritualistic oblations to air, water and
thunder, etc.
In order to decipher what lies concealed
in the Vedas, a study of certain subjects is
considered a prerequisite. These subjects
are called the ‘Vedangas’ or the body
organs of the Vedas. There are six such
Vedangas. They are: Shiksha, Chhanda,
Vyakarana, Nirukta, Kalpa and Jyotisha.
Now let us see the brief description of all
these things.
Shiksha:-, which deals with an
understanding of the Vedic ‘Varnas’,
‘Swaras’ and ‘Matras’, and thus with the
technique of correct pronunciation.
Chhanda:-, dealing with the appropriate
lyrical utterance of the Vedic ‘Suktas’.
Vyakarana:-, expounding the grammatical
aspects of the language.
Nirukta:-, which explains the difficult
words, ‘padas’ and ‘mantras’.
Kalpa:-, dealing with the understanding
of Sutras and the use of Mantras, hence
concerned with the ritualistic aspect of
the Vedas Jyotisha or Vedic astrology:
The Vedic way of analyzing the positions
of planets. So to say this is the base for
the modern astronomy based astrology.
Of the body called the Vedas, astrology
represents the ‘eyes’, with its capacity to
‘see’ the past, the present and the future.
Vedic Astrology is considered as the most
important of the above Vedangas.
Vedic Astrology is an analysis and
forecasting system, based on astronomical
data, which allows its practitioners to
carefully assess and understand behavior,
to measure the effects of the past, the
influence of the present and the tendency
of events to unfold in the future.
Vedic Astrology appeared in Sanskrit.
Later day authors came up with the name
– “Vedic Astrology”. The word “Vedic”
means “pertaining to Vedas.” Vedas are
the sacred scriptures of, what is known
today as Hinduism and they are supposed
to contain knowledge of all subjects.
Moreover, astrology in particular is
supposed to be a “Vedaanga” (which
means a limb of Vedas). Vedic Astrology
is becoming popular these days. Swamiji
Sri.Selvam Siddhar’s role is very notable
in popularizing Vedic Astrology in
western countries. He has great research
knowledge of Atharva Veda and Vedic
Astrology. There is a vast difference in
scrutinizing a horoscope as a “Jyothish”
and Atharva Vedic scholar. With the
Atharva Vedic astrology one can easily
find what the “Ishata Devatha” is and
perform the proper rituals to that Ishata
devatha and get rid of the problems
faced today. To know more and more

I n The Maha Bharath Yudh, between the
Pandavas and the Gouravas, both sides
were making preparations. The help of
neighboring countries, states, and friendly
kings was sought after. Duriyodhana,
being the leader of Gouravas, was making
plans with his kinsman, Saguni. On the
side of Pandavas, the task was difficult.
They had to join soldiers and troupes
together to form the needed military
strength.
Lord Krishna was the relative and
close associate of both the Gouravas and
Pandavas. One day, in the morning, Arjuna
visited the palace of Lord Krishna. At the
same time, Duriyodhana also presented
himself there to request assistance from
the Lord.

name of justice, a good astrologer
could not refuse or tell lies. Open
heartedly he concluded that the
“Ammasa Day” (New-Moon day)
was a date of success which could
win victory for the Gouravas. The
faithfulness and generosity of the
Pandavas was really great. Even
though this prediction foretold
their failure, the Pandavas did not
conceal the fact.
Duriyodhana’s group was
very happy to receive this prediction
from Shahadeva. Accordingly, the
war-date was fixed and announced.
Since Lord Krishna agreed to
give his personal support to The
Pandavas, he took care of them at
every stage of preparations. The
Lord knew all about the prediction
of Shahadeva. He decided to give his

Himself becomes your helper?
Saguni, the kinsman, induced
Duriyodhana to set a good date for
the commencement of war. Saguni
knew well that Shahadeva, one of the
Pandavas, was well versed in Astrology.
So, he sent Duriyodhana to seek the help
of Shahadeva, even though he was an
opponent.
Duriyodhana approached and
requested Shahadeva to give a date
on which if the war should begin, that
beginning should positively bring success
to him. Being a cousin, Duriyodhana was
and a most important person in Duriyodhana’s army. Karna was
a valiant person in the implementation of Asthras (Weapons).
“Naga Asthra” was a deadly poisonous weapon. If imposed
directly to the head of enemy, the certainity of death would
befall the maimed person.
Lord Krishna wanted to protect Arjuna from danger,
so he asked ‘Kunthi’ to visit the palace of Karna and request a
boon from him. The boon was actually related to saving Arjuna
from danger. Kunthi should request that Karna not use the Naga
Asthra on Arjuna, and even if he did, he should not repeat a
second attempt.
Kunthi then went to Karna’s palace. She was worshiped
and honored by Karna. During their conversation there came
a surprise that revealed the hidden truth of Karna’s birth. The
sage Durvasa had visited the palace of Kunthibhoja who had a
daughter called Kunthi. The sage told the King that he would stay
there for a year. The king was well aware of the sage’s temper.
He was an angry person. Kunthi came forward and accepted the
task of looking after the sage. She served the sage for the whole
year and had the honor to receive boons from Durvasa.
The sage told her “Dear Kunthi, I would like to grant
you a boon. What do you desire to have? Ask for it with out
reservation.” To this Kunthi said, “Oh great sage, my father
would be happy when he knows that you are pleased. What more
do I need than yours as well as my father’s happiness? I am a
simple girl. I do not know much about the world. I do not know
what to ask for. If I have erred in my words or deeds, I beg
pardon of you. I will be happy with that.”
Kunthi explained all this to Karna. The sage decided to give
a “Manthroupadesha” to Kunthi. By the virtue of this manthra,
she could invite any
of the Gods, and
they would appear
and grant their
blessings. Then the
sage left for the
forest to attend to
his own duties.
A few weeks later, she was beset with the curiosity to test
the power of the manthra. She saw the Sun shinning gloriously
in the sky. She chanted the manthra. SuryaDeva the Sun god
came in front of her. He came after reducing his great heat and
brightness. She stood duly folding her hands. Surya Deva knew
the importance of the manthra and placed a small baby boy in
her hands and vanished.
Being an unmarried girl, if she brought the child home,
society would outcast her and abuse her. On that fear she placed
the child in a box and made it sail upon the river waters of Ganga.
Some how or other, fate deemed the child to live as a motherless
child. The child would grow up with honesty and benevolence.
And that child would join the camp of Duriyodhana. And the
same child, another child, Arjuna, would have to fight on the
battlefield.
All these fate bound matters were revealed to Karna.
Karna is now the son of Kunthi by virtue of her boon from Sage
Durvasa. All these interlinked facts were spoken with great
agony. Karna felt much pleased to know that his mother was
Kunthi. He felt overjoyed, and granted the boon to his own
mother that he would not use the Naga Asthra on Arjuna a
second time. But out of sincerity to his friend and to take care of
Duriyodhana, he would certainly pass on the Naga Asthra and
only shoot upon Arjuna upon the battlefield. The truth, justice,
affection, and duty were peeping one upon another establish
their individualities.
Kunthi shed tears on the spot for she could not bear to
loose any of her sons. (Karna was considered as the eldest of
Pandavas).
Lord Krishna, the actual guard for Arjuna, was carrying out
his duty to put the Pandavas on the most beneficial footing.

P resent world and the people all around the universe are now
bound to develop the brothern – hood between countries
of different languages and religions. The earth by nature,
possess all the needs of mankind. From a fruit to petrol, the
mother earth delivers. The paper money, is a manipulation
or made up only for account and value purpose. On different
names and titles as, cost; creation; labour; principle interest,
profit; infrastructure; construction progress; development;
the money gets involvement. The opinions like insufficiency,
shortage, lesser value and unsuitable price, will interfere and the
disputes will arise. So, the thoughts towards greediness leads to
accumulations of more and more. That may be with the point of
wealth. Even the annexings of lands in vast area. This kind of
matters started in the olden days by kings. As a king, he behaved
himself as a warrior. His duty was judged with his invasion of
neighbouring villages and towns. Gradually, the war with other

There were no democratic methods in force. In federal
governments and the systems had the importance only on a
later stage. Even in this collective leader ship by the choice of
regional and state wise selections, the merit for the humanity was
disregarded. The weapon for destructions were introduced. The
big and mighty nations started to manufacture the mass killing
bombs and made the storage of such in huge quantities. Now the
democratic nations declare it as self guarding formula. Every
term of five or six years, the leaders under banner of ‘Party’ get
changed and what will be the guarentee that they will follow
the norms and promises of the predecessors. At any time on an
emotional and angry situation, that can be misused.
Irrespective of promises and treaties, the danger can arise.
For a moment one and all should recall to the memory, the
natural environments. God hath created all the essentialities for
a comfortable living of all mankind, and other creatures. The
brotherly love and affection between the people of different
comtries, different languages and religions had not yet regarded
fully.
The next issue to be checked is insufficiency. The shortage of
fuel, gas and even drinking water is now getting increased. Per
day how many lakhs and tons of oil products and petrol are
being emptied. When the earth is loosing all the storages, one
day it will be hallow. The activities on earth will stand still. Just
for the last 350 years only the usage of kerosene, petrol came in
to practice. Before that only vegetable oils and candles were in
use. Present society of youngsters are all running fast with their
own aims and expectations. The medical science gives support
for long living. But the people donot have proper methods
to keep the body in a suitable way. The man has got several
seasons. Most important seasons are child-hood and boyhood.
The learning of the culture and determining the noble habits are
in the forms of lessons taught at school. Several people even at
the old age speak proudly of their school days.
Our organization, Hindu Temple of Georgia teaches the yoga
and meditation to the children and youngsters. The character
building, following the nonviolence and observing the peace will
lead every person for a happy and a comfortable life. The duty
conciousnss, if centralized, then the routine life will coincide
only with sound progress. Diversion of
attention and giving prominence to bad
qualities will create arrogant nature and
spoil the future of a person. The terrorism
is one which begins with disturbed

ambition.

of an clement which still retained all
the Qualities of that clement. If once the
power latent in an atom could be released,
they promised – sanguinely or guardedly,
according to their several temperaments
– the worlds work could be soon would
be transformed to child’s play. In their
laboratories, men of genius, of talent
of craftsmanship conducted obscure
experiments. ‘Bombarding’ atoms with
electricity, experimenting with radium,

pilotless planes rockets which struck
unheralded by sound or sight – but the war
in Europe had drawn to its end. A nation of

eminence greater than that of Napoleon’s
France into catastrophic defeat. Yet still,
wearily, drearily, savagely, the war in the
East went on. While the marines and the
sailors the soldiers and the airmen were
working their way from bases in Australia
to assail Okinawa and raid the island of
Honshu, the scientist were working in
Los Alamos in desert New Mexico in oak
Ridge, Tennessee, working furiously, in
spite of all the patience science imposes,
against time, striving to harness the
ultimate secret, to liberate the ultimate
power in Nature…. Not for peace but for
war like purposes.

Variety of uranium designated U235 The

cry of a woman: There are people here
about to be drowned help us – the water
is rising “groups of on a spot of jutting
into the river so weak that they could
not climb into the boat come to help
them: girls shivering though they burned:
skin sloughing off supporating scalded
flesh. Ten thousand causalities went to
a single hospital, and the only light the
surviving doctors had to work by were
candles held by ten nurses and of course
the conflagrations out side. The victims
had not eaten all day but, when food was
brought to them, the strength of not only
the wards but the whole area surrounding
the hospital was so nauseating that
they could not swallow. Apart from the
magnitude of the onslaught, its Quality
was unutterable. It is neither defeats it’s
own end. So let a single attested incident
convoy this unique Quality of unearthly
evil: the words are Horsley’s.
“He (Father Kleinsorge a German
missionary) heard a voice ask from the
underfrush, “Have you anything to drink?
“He saw a uniform. Thinking there was
just one soldier, he approached with the
water. When he had penetrated the bushes,
he saw there were about twenty men, and
they were all in exactly the same night
marish state, their faces were wholly
burned, their eye sockets were hallow,
the fluid from their melted eyes had run
doun their cheeks. The atomization of
Hiroshima and later of Nagasaki – was in
every sense monstrous enough inflicting
160,000 men, women & children. They
finally achieved what was termed a ‘chain
reaction’ a substance which proliferated
explosion as a cancer proliferates its
disesased cells, a proliferation accelerated
to something like the speed of light. By the
slow process of trial and error, correcting,
amending, improving, they finally
produced a working bomb. It was tested
in the ‘bad land’s where it would do no
harm. The news of the achievement was
given to Washington – and to London.
The statesmen and the politicians were
confronted a tragic and agonising dilemma
to use it or not. To with hold it meant the
deaths of uncountable men, the protraction
of untellable suffering, the condemnation
to still further torture of prisoners who
had already been beaten and starved and
subjected to bestial cruelties. At such on
hour the hardest – headed statesmen and
soldiers with the stoniest hearts must have
cursed the gift perhaps the illusion – of
free will. Imagine the debate between
high principles and low practice. The
apostles of “greatest good for the greatest
number” joining hands with the savagely
vindictive protagonists whose arguement
was no more than, “They started it did not
they? They asked for it well, let them have
it. To hell with it” To hell with it a facile,
trivial phrase, said as one orders an extra
drink or smokes a forbidden cigarette, but
“it” in this case, was a city of a Quarter
million people. Some of these people
were men who had tortured prisoners or
approved of the torture yet there were
men and women gentle enough to admire
the petals of cherry blossom industrious
enough to slave in the paddy – fields.
They expected to live, as does every
human being in the ritual circle of birth
and marriage and death.
Then the sun went out, eclipsed not by
shadow but by light: a light too blindingly
incandescent that the familiar ball of fire
which travels through the sky seemed
far an instant extinguished There was
no sound. No ‘crump’, no thud, no
explosions only as the survivors regained
consciousness, the brilliant morning was
obscured as if a sudden mist had been cast
by an enchanter’s hand; a mist formed of
infinitesimal particles of brick and stone
of earth and Vegetation and human tissue.
The scientist had achived the reaction.
The new age had been born, not with
a bang but a whimper of a child whose
mother had been flown from its side a
hundred feet in physical space, and the
irremediable distance between life and
death, away. No one in Hiroshima heared
Siddhi Times USA 27
a thing. For hours afterwards there hung about the span of sky
over the town, ominous and evil in its brownish – purple colour.
The mushroom – shaped cloud that is, to day the commonplace
concurrent of an atom – bomb in the minds of men. Four and
seven –tenths square miles of Hiroshima were devasted. Eight
percent of the city’s buildings were damaged or destroyed. In
the settlement of at that time, a Quarter of a million inhabitants
(for evacuation had reduced the population by nearly 135,000)
three- fifths were casualities major or minor. One single bomb
had killed as many, wounded as many as a mass raid of 279
huge air crafts, laden to capacity with bombs. Sticking at a city
ten times as populous. There come moments when even those
who hold that one weapon differs from another only in degree
must recognize, that when the degree or difference reaches such
a scale, the difference becomes one of kind.
For long the argument continued in the west: to with hold or
to drop the bomb. At last the decision was taken ultimately
that decision lay in the hands of three men; President Truman
premier Attlee, Marshal Chiang Kai-shek Franklin Roosvelt who
had transcended American tradition by serving not only three
presidential terms but a fourth, was dead Winston Churchill,
embodiment of embattled Britain, had been unbelievably cast
aside by the electorate in the very hour of his triumph. In the
place of the great liberal and the great European there Bat at the
council table men of undeniably smaller stature; one, a small
town politician thrust unexpectedly on to the stage during a
crisis which required statesmen of world rank the other a man of
integrity who had come to his party leadership as a compromise
candidate. The third figure was a enigma; the Chinese who had
turned from communist to Nationalist, whose conflict with
Japan had endured for many years longer than that of the Allies.
Stalin was no party to the consultations; Russia was still at peace
with Japan. Seven Boeing Super Fortresses were detailed for the
operation. Three were sent ahead, to report on whether conditions
and to consider alternative targets (including Nagasaki which a
few days later, was able to be atomized) Two aircrafts were
detailed to carry instruments and observers. One, stationed at
Iwo JIMA was ready to take over the bomb if anything happened
to the B29 into which it was actually loaded.
From the Tinian in the Mariana Islands, colonel panl W.Tibbets,
U.S.A Air force, took off at a Quarter to three on the morning
of 6 August 1945.
For over five hours he sailed serenely through the lightening
sky. It was bright sunshine when he arrived more than five miles
above his target, flying at some 31,000, feet. Hiroshima was
just setteling to another day! The summer sun gave promise of
fair weather and the air raid warning meant no more, probably,
than just another inconvenient routine interruption of the day’s
war- work. Raiding aircraft, no matter what their target always
assembled at Lake Biwa and, almost inevitability, crossed the
city’s sky. Then- ironically sounded the all clear; only the three
advance machines had been plotted and by the time colonel
Tibbets was overhead they had passed the city. Unseen in the
empyrean Tibbets ignored, the anti aireraft shells that bursts in
futility about him. The bomb was fused, set to explode not on
Siddhi Times USA 28
contact but after dropping the height of Everst; 29,000, feet. It
was to burst just 2,000 feet above the town, “Thereby achieving
the maximum destruction, disseminating its force as widely as
possible” For just 42 seconds after the bomb-doors were opened
nothing happened – absolutely nothing. The instrument fell in
its irresistable acceleration – 32 feet per second is the formula
– gathering speed and impetus, some thing like a Quarter of a
mile. High above it, racing to escape it eyes guarded with dark
glasses, instrnements attuned sat the air – crew on the kindly
earth, the little people men women and children – went about
their daily tasks. Some of them it is true, tasks of destruction and
duties of death.
Indiseriminately, death, mutilation, irreparable loss. But the
immediate effect, horrific beyond belief as it was is not all. The
aftermath of atomination is not fully charted, even by scientist
Many who were not, charred or shatterd, who were out of
immediate reach of the bomb explosion and the blast that spread
over a circle with a radius of a couple of miles, were stricken
down secretly in one way or other when an explosion generates
a heat which fuses tiles with a melting point of 1300 °C as far
as yards away the aftermath can be expected to be extensive.
The effects of those remote from immediate injury vary. Some
victims it is believed of radion – are permanently sterilized the
pregnant women in Hiroshima aborted and did not conceive again
others are reduced by wasting diseases, where the corpuscles of
the bood diminish. Their white blood-count fell within a month
from the normal 5000/7000 to 3000 surfaces wounds – grayes
abrasions, seratches a lose and for no reason, re-open. Hair
suddenly starts falling and a minor burn may take months to
heal. Fever accompanied by an almost dysentery – like diarrhea,
sends temperatures rocketing up as high as 106°F. Then nearly
a month later, comes bleeding, usually from the gums a drop in
the white blood count, a drop in the red blood – count.
Nature, striving to re establish her equilibrium, bred leveocyts
by the million until the white blood – count rose as for above
normal as it had dropped below, and this frantic endearor also
brought death and new desease in its train. The aftermath of
the desease was due to radition: the physicians described the
symptoms as akin to those due to over exposuwre to X – rays.
Over Hiroshima,an atom – bomb based on clranium. Only a few
days later over Nagasaki an atom – bomb based on plutanium;
one of even greater power Now the key has been found to
release forces yet more destructive the force of by drogess. Side
by side with the memory of these two chique air- raids. The
scientists are busy trying to harness atomic energy as was at first
so happily dreamed for the benefit of mankind.
But a measure of guilt remains for the action of 6 August 1945
when up on one of the civilian centres of an enemy, was let fall
the first atomic weapon.

Pandit
L.V. Sharma
During the past issues, I had an opportunity to share my thoughts
on Spirituality. In this issue, I wish to discuss the spirituality
mentioned in the Upanishads named Taittiriya Upanishad. The
Taittiriya Upanishad is one of the older, “primary” Upanishads
commented upon by Shankara. It is associated with the Taittiriya
school of the Yajurveda (Krishna Yajurveda). It figures as
number 7 in the Muktika canon of 108 Upanishads. It belongs to
the Taittiriya recession of the Black Yajurveda and is constituted
by the eighth and ninth chapters of Taittiriya Aranyaka. The
Taittiriya Upanishad is divided into three sections or vallis, the
Siksha Valli, the Brahmananda Valli and the Bhrigu Valli. Each
Valli is further subdivided into anuvakas or verses. The Siksha
Valli deals with the discipline of Shiksha (which is the first of the
six Vedangas or “limbs” or auxiliaries of the Vedas), that is, the
study of phonetics and pronunciation.
First Anuvaka of this Valli starts with Shanti Mantra “OM Shamno
Mitra”. Second Anuvaka lists the contents of Shiksha discipline.
Third Anuvaka tells about the intimate connection between the
syllables using five examples and implicitly tells that one should
meditate on those examples to realize connections told in them.
Each of these examples is called a Maha Samhita. Each Syllable
is called a Samhita. There is also a method of reciting Vedic
Mantras where each syllable of mantra is recited separately of
preceding and next syllables known as “Samhita Patha”. This
anuvaka also declares that one, who realizes connection between
syllables, will get good fruits including heaven. One of the
example used under the heading of self or Adhyaatmaa tries to
make point that the connection between syllables is as intimate
and innate as speech and elements producing it. “Lower jaw
is former form (or first syllable), upper jaw is next form (next
Siddhi Times USA 29

syllable), speech is union or connection, tongue is connector”.
Fourth Anuvaka consists of Mantras and rituals to be done by
those who aspire for Divine Knowledge (Medha Kama) and
Wealth (Shree Kama). In this anuvaka teacher prays, “As water
flows from high land to low land, as months join to become year,
let good disciples come to me from everywhere”.
Fifth and Sixth Anuvakas try to describe Brahman in the
form of Vyahrutis. The words “Bhooh” , “Bhuvah”, “Suvah”,
“Mahah”, “Janah”, “Tapah” and “Satyam” are called seven
Vyahruti’s or Sapta Vyahrutis. These denote different worlds in
Puranas. The term “Vyahruti” means pronunciation, since these
above-mentioned words are pronounced in Vedic rituals like
Agnihotra, these are called Vyahruti’s. Fifth Anuvaka states that
the fourth Vyahruti “Mahah” was discovered by a Rishi called
“Mahachamasya” and “Mahah” is Brahman all other Vyahrutis
are its organs. This Anuvaka says that “Bhooh” denotes earth,
fire, Richa’s and Prana. “Bhuvah” denotes space, air, Sama’s and
Apana. “Suvah” denotes heaven, sun, Yajus and Vyana. “Mahah”
denotes sun, moon, Holy Syllable OM and food. This way, each
of first four Vyahrutis become four each and in total they are 16.
So, all these four Vyahrutis should be meditated as all of their
sixteen manifestations. This is known as famous Vedic term
Shodasa Kala Purusha in Vedic literature. Finally, this anuvaka
says that one who knows all sixteen manifestations of Vyahrutis
knows Brahman and all gods bring gifts to him.
Sixth Anuvaka tells that in the space inside the heart there exists
an immortal golden being (Hiranya Purusha) and states that there
is a subtle route through the middle of the head through which a
self realized Yogi travels when he/she leaves the body and joins
Siddhi Times USA 30
the all pervading Brahman. The Seventh Anuvaka describes a
meditation called Paanktha Upasana, where Brahman is meditated
upon as a Set of Five called Paanktha. There is also a Vedic meter
of five lines called Paanktha. Outer world seen is classified into
three sets of five things called “AdiBootha” and inner body world
into three sets of five things called “Adhyaathma”. This inner-
outer grouping is then meditated upon and meditator realizes both
inner and outer paankta are one and the same Brahman and every
thing is Paanktha. This Anuvaka states that Earth (Prithvi), Space
(Antariksha), Heaven (Dyu Loka), Directions (North, South etc),
Sub directions (South-East, North-West etc...). Worldly set of
Five or (Loka-Paankta) and Fire (Agni), Air (Vayu), Sun (Aditya),
Moon (Chandra), Stars (Nakshatra) (Divine-Five or Deva-
Paanktha) and Water, Herbs (Oshadhi), Trees, Sky (Akasha),
Body of meditator (Elemental Five or Dhaatu-Paanktha) are called
Adibhuta or Outer Elements. Further it states that Prana, Apana,
Vyana, Udana, Samana (all these are Five inner pranas of the body)
and Eye, Ear, Mind, Speech(Vaak), Outer-Skin(Tvak)(Sensory-
Five or Indriya-Paanktha) and Inner-Skin (Charma), Flesh,
tendon-Ligaments, bones, Fat or Bone-Marrow (Elemental Five
or Dhaatu Paanktha) are called Adhyaatma or Inner Elements. The
Rishi who realized oneness among these says, “Thus everything
is Paankta”. It further says that one, who realized everything
as Paanktha, completes Paanktha with Paanktha itself. Eighth
Anuvaka states the greatness of Holy Syllable OM. It says that
OM is Brahman and everything. Ninth Anuvaka explains a pious
way of life to be lead by persons aspiring realization of Brahman.
See a prescription for an ideal life. Tenth Anuvaka is a Mantra for
self-practice (Swadhyaya) or meditation. It is stated by a Rishi
called Trishanku as an exclamation of awe after he realized that he
is one with Brahman. It is also called Mantramnaya of Trishanku.
Eleventh Anuvaka is a set of instructions that teacher (Acharya)
gives to his disciple after completion of Vedic education. The
ninth and eleventh Anuvakas collectively define life. Twelfth
Anuvaka concludes the Shikshavalli with Shanti Mantra “OM
Sham no mitra.” expressing gratitude toward gods who removed
obstacles for study of Upanishad as prayed for in first anuvaka of
this Upanishad.
Now let me explain a few thoughts of this Upanishad and how it
shows the way for an ideal life. The second anuvaka tells about
the conjunction of various things. The third anuvaka explains
how a human being can become the greatest in life. The Om that
is the most exalted in the Vedas, that pervades all worlds, and
that emerged from the immortal Vedas as their quintessence,
Let he (Om that is Indra), the supreme Lord, gratify me with
intelligence. O Lord Let me be the receptacle of immortality. Let
my body be fit; Let my tongue be surpassingly sweet; Let me
hear much good things through the ears. You are the sheath of
Brahman: you are covered by (worldly) wisdom. Protect what I
have heard. Then vouchsafe to me who am her (i.e. Prosperity’s)
own, that Prosperity which brings, increases, and accomplishes
quickly for me clothes, cattle, food, and drink for ever, and which
is associated with furry and other animals.. Let the Brahmacharins
(i.e. students) come to me from all sides. Let the Brahmacharins
come to me in various ways. Let the Brahmacharins come to me
in the proper way. Let the Brahmacharins have physical self-
control. Let the Brahmacharins have mental self-control. Let
me become famous among people. Let me become praiseworthy
among the wealthy. O adorable One let me enter into you, such
Siddhi Times USA 31

Siddhi Times USA 34
Begining of Navaratri
Siddhi Times USA 35

as you are. O venerable One, you, such as you are, enter into me.
O adorable One, who is greatly diversified, let me purify my sins
in you. As water flows down a slope, as months roll into a year,
similarly O Lord, Let the students come to me from all quarters.
You are like a resting house, so you become revealed to me, you
reach me through and through. The grammatical meaning for the
word Brahmacharin is –being a bachelor. However, the actual
meaning is having the best self-control and adopting Brahman in
ones self is called as Brahmacharin. If one has a good control over
the mind, body and soul, he or she will become great. Everything
they need in their life will automatically reach them. In the space
that there is in the heart, is the Person who is realizable through
knowledge, and who is immortal and effulgent. The thing that
hangs down between the palates like a teat, through it runs the
path of Brahman; and reaching where the hairs part, it passes out
by separating the skulls. (Passing out through that path, a man)
becomes established in Fire as the Vyahriti Bhuh; he becomes
established in Air as the Vyahriti Bhuvah; in the sun as the
Vyahriti Suvah; in Brahman as the Vyahriti Mahah. He himself
gets independent sovereignty; he attains the lord of the mind; he
becomes the ruler of speech, the ruler of eyes, the ruler of ears,
and the ruler of knowledge. Over and above all these, he becomes
Brahman, which is embodied in Akasa, which is identified with
the gross and the subtle and has truth as its real nature, which
reveals in life, under whose possession the mind is a source of
bliss, which is enriched with peace and is immortal. By practicing
this, the entire universe will enjoy the “Ananda”, the greatest bliss.
There is no need for a caste, creed or religion. Only humanity and
spirituality are needed to enjoy the bliss. According to the sayings
of Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam), by
adopting the spirituality in the day to day life of a human being,
one can have a comfortable living style. The thoughts are the
base for the development in the life of a human being. That’s why
Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam) always
says that “You will live according to your thoughts”.
The following are to be practiced by each and every individual to
Siddhi Times USA 36
lead a peaceful spiritual life. They are Righteousness, learning,
teaching and truth. Austerity, learning, and teaching are to be
resorted. Control of the outer senses learning and teaching about
the control of outer senses are to be practiced. Control of the
inner organs, learning and teaching about the control of inner
organs are to be resorted to. The fires are to be lighted up; the
learning and teaching about the procedures of lighting the fire
are to be followed. The Agnihotra (worshipping the Almighty
through the Fire) is to be performed; learning and teaching about
Agnihotra are to be carried on. The guests are to be entertained;
the learning and teaching of the methods of entertaining the
guests are to be practiced. Social good conduct is to be adhered
to; the learning and teaching of the social conduct are to be
practiced. Children are to be begotten. Truth is the thing; this
is what Satyavacha, of the line of Rathitara, thinks. “Speak the
truth. Practice righteousness. Make no mistake about study.
Having offered the desirable wealth to the teacher, do not cut off
the line of progeny. There should be no inadvertence about truth.
There should be no deviation from righteous activity. If anybody
practices the Truth and obedience to the teacher or Guru it is sure
that the particular person will lead a very happy and spiritual life.
That person will make all others to feel very happy. If everybody
adopts this best lifestyle taught by the Vedas and Upanishads, it
is sure that the world will be the land of peace.
There should be no error in the duties towards the gods and
manes. Let your mother be a goddess unto you. Let your father
be a god unto you. Let your teacher be a god unto you. Let your
guest be a god unto you. The works that are not blameworthy
are to be resorted to, but not the others. Actions of ours that
are commendable are to be followed by you, but not the others.
You should, by offering seats, remove the fatigue of those
Brahmanas who are more praiseworthy among us. The offering
should be with honor; the offering should not be with dishonor.
The offering should be in plenty. The offering should be with
modesty. The offering should be with awe. The offering should
be with sympathy. Then, should you have any doubt with regard
to duties or customs, you should behave in those matters just as
Brahmanas do, who Let happen to be there and who are able
deliberators, who are adepts in those duties and customs, who are
not directed by others, who are not cruel, and who are desirous
of merit. Then, as for the accused people, you should behave
with regard to them just as the Brahmanas do, who let happen to
be there and who are able deliberators, who are adepts in those
duties and customs, who are not directed by others, who are not
cruel, who are desirous of merit. This is the injunction. This is the
instruction. This is the secret of the Vedas. This is divine behest.
This is how the meditation is to be done. This is how this must be
meditated on.
These are all the great teachings of simple moralities of human
life. By adopting these simple moralities one can lead a calm
and peaceful life. By leading a calm and peaceful life we can
lead a wonderful spiritual life. The entire universe will become
the greatest. Even though I realize that I am a Brahman, I wish
to thank the other Brahmans, i.e. the almighty, Swamiji and the
readers. In the next issue we will meet with some more thoughts
on Spirituality.
A tharva Vedic Astrology was invented by a group of seven rishis
/monks called as “saptha rishis”. They were all intellectual
giants. As they were the intellectual giants they were known as
Siddhars. They followed the rules and formulas of Atharva Veda
and they created a new path of astrology. This astrology is based on
astronomy and the principles of Atharva Veda. They lived during
the 10th to 12th centuries BC. In the 21st century, the only Living
Siddhar/ Rishi in the entire western countries, that too particularly
in USA is Swamiji Sri Selvam Siddhar. He is also famously
known as Dr Commander Selvam. He has written and published
thousands of articles about Atharva Veda, Vedic Astrology and
related subjects and he is the 1st Rishi in the entire North America,
to write about Vedic Astrology based on Atharva Veda which is
the 4th Indian Veda. Presently Swamiji Sri Selvam Siddhar is the
only Siddhar in the
entire world, following
Atharva Veda.
Dating back to 6000
years, Vedic astrology
was evolved as a part
of Vedas or Vedic
scriptures. Vedas
are considered as
the world’s most
primordial scripture
which offers an intrinsic
belief and study with
the essence of arts,
science, philosophy
and religion. Vedic
Astrology was first
explained in Rig Veda,
the oldest one among the entire Vedas. Atharva Veda, the second
oldest of the Vedas has more detailed and elaborate calculations,
predictions and the spiritual remedial techniques. Many researchers
and enthusiasts consider Vedas as the complete wisdom defining
the entire mankind and its significance in relation to cosmological
force. Jyotish Shastra or Vedic astrology is an important cornerstone
of Vedic Shastra as a whole. As taken from Sanskrit language, one
of the most ancient languages, Jyotish means illumination or light
and Shastra means study. Hence Jyotish Shastra implies a study of
illumination or light. In other words, Jyotish Shastra means the study
which helps in eliminating the darkness and makes a pathway to
the direction of divine light or wisdom, pure, superlative, absolute
and dignified. Jyotish Shastra or Vedic astrology is envisaged by
great ancient Indian scholars and sages, while they were at their
super-conscious state of understanding, with a through knowledge
of cognizing life beyond the boundary of time and space. In their
super-conscious state, they understood that the cosmological forces
of the planets function like reflectors or transmitters in the form of
light energy. These light energies transmit the signals in different
angles, and were found to have influence over the animate and
inanimate beings, both at physiological and psychological levels.
It is assumed that the wise men monitored this influence and
conducted experimentations on the basis of their observations with
the intention of codifying into principles and standards which, in
turn, turned out to be the laws depending on which Jyotish Shastra
or Vedic astrology was evolved.
Since the Vedas is a set of complete knowledge and wisdom based
on holistic approach to life, it integrates every constituent of this
understanding on the basis of the whole. All the components of
Vedic astrology deal with the knowledge of Vedic philosophy
incorporating the belief of dynamism and reinforcement of artistic
orientation. The integrated understanding and philosophical point
of reference to life sets contrast with the long lasting well-liked
scientific approach advocated by Western belief and culture, which
has cataloged life in
the ever-changing
form or fixation with
one specific section or
another. This uneven
and scrappy perspective
of life causes several
isolated understanding
of knowledge, but in
strong conflict with one
another, where science
never goes at the same
plate with religion,
philosophical queries
can not be answered
by scientific principles,
and so on.
According to Vedic
astrology and Vedic philosophy, individual awareness is explained
as a composite form of understanding of all phenomena perceiving
an individual’s life in the context of great entity or understanding,
influence the Karma, as explained in Vedic philosophy. According
to this belief, nothing precisely can simple avoid the ultimate
consequence, the inescapable integrity and justice of nature
or Supreme. This phenomenon is known as Karma. In other
words, Karma is an understanding of the law of cause and effect,
resembling Newton’s third law, “Every action has its opposite
and equal reaction”. This law is actually very fundamental to the
philosophy of Vedic Shastra. To clarify all your doubts regarding
Vedic Astrology, to know about the individual’s horoscope and
to get spiritual solution for all the problems contact Swamiji Sri.

The relationship is normally viewed as a connection
between two individuals, such as a romantic or intimate
relationship, or a parent-child relationship. Among all
those relationships some relationships are called as
bonding relationship and some are called as non bonding
relationships. Human bonding refers to the development
of a close, interpersonal relationship between family
members or friends. Bonding is a mutual, interactive
process, and is not the same as simple liking. Bonding
typically refers to the process of attachment that develops
between romantic partners, close friends, or parents and
children. This bond is characterized by emotions such as
affection and trust. Paternal bonds tend to vary over the
span of a child’s development in terms of both strength and
stability. In fact, many children now grow up in fatherless
households and do not experience a paternal bond at all.
In general, paternal bonding is more dominant later in a
child’s life after language develops. Fathers may be more
influential in play-interactions as opposed to nurturance-
Siddhi Times USA 38
interactions. Father-child bonds also tend to develop with
respect to topics such as political views or money, whereas
mother-child bonds tend to develop in relation to topics
such as religious views or general outlooks on life.
The relationship between father and son is in three stages.
Up to 5th year of the son’s age he should be brought up as
a prince. From the 6th year of age to 16th year of the son’s
age he should be brought up as a slave. After the 16th year
of the son he should be treated as the best friend to his
father. The beginning of the teen age is always a problem.
That too from the age of 16 to 19 the period is very tough.
Only if the planets’ position in the horoscopes of father
and son the boy will have a good relationship with the
father. If not the son will go out of ways and he will have
only wrong and harmful relationships. He won’t have a
cordial relationship with the father. There is a fair chance
for some kids to become as drug addicts. To avoid all
these problems the horoscopes of both the father and son
are to be checked as per the Atharva Vedic standards by
Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam).
If the planet Sun is not placed properly in the horoscope
of the son there will be great problems in the relationship
between the father and son. If the planets Saturn and
Jupiter are not placed properly in the horoscope of the
son, the relationship with the father will be with quarrels
often. At times this will lead the departure of the son
from the family. Atharva Veda has prescribed a lot of
Atharva Veda Yaksha/Yakshini devathas to solve this
problem. By properly worshipping the Yaksha/Yakshini
devathas as per the directions of Swamiji Sri.Selvam
Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam) the problems in the
relationship between the father and son are spiritually
solved peacefully. There will be the most understanding
and cordial relationship between the father and son. To

By Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam)
The Atharva Vedic astrology has a lot of sub clauses in it. One
of those clauses is dealing with the dreams. In Sanskrit it is
called as “Swapna Saastram”. The dreams have many meanings.
Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam) explains
a lot about dreams on the basis of Atharva Veda. Let us read
about this wonderful science through the words of Sri.Siddhar
(Dr. Commander Selvam).
The “Maha Rishi Kabala Muni”, one of the authors of Atharva
Veda is one of the main disciples of the great sage Sri.Agasthiyar.
He has written a wonderful Saastra/ theme about the dreams and
their meanings, and the same is still in the old palm scripts and
not yet published anywhere in the world. The palm scripts came
to me from my “Maha guru Sri Chinnappa Siddhar” and being
the Guru Parampara and the next successor of the Ashram, I
had an opportunity to read and utilize the same for the benefits
of the mankind. I like to give some important features about the
Dreams exclusively for the readers, which I hope, are the most
useful for all human beings.
The dreams are so much connected to our future, or some times,
it would be a warning for the expected problems. The dreams are
divided in to 4 different segments of Dreams. One is at the time,
which happens, immediately, as soon as we sleep. The second
one happens at the mid night or called as rendaam jaamam. The
3 rd one occurs in the early morning. The 4 the one occurs in
Siddhi Times USA 40
the afternoon or evening times. . We need not worry about any
kinds of dreams come to us after the sun light and before the sun
set. . The Dreams occur in the night always are related to our
past life or to the last incarnation. The mid night dreams have
got connection with our present life. The early morning dreams,
lot of time related to our present life and lot of times, could
be the warning for the forthcoming issues. Rishi Sri Kabala
Muni has divided the dreams in to 74 parts, and even to my
experience with my followers, devotees, all of their different
kinds of Dreams are falling within the 74 segments. I would be
able to give only crispy ideas here. Temple related dreams; If
we see, a large temple, implies that, we are going to get miracles
or excellent Gods’ grace very soon.
If we see the closed temple, or no body in the temple and we
are the only people, implies that, we would be getting lot of
hurdles and bad luck in our different issues, and the same could
be settled by proper advice and rituals through an Atharva Veda
scholar. If we are getting a dream like opening the Pooja room
or the door of any spiritual place, implies that, we are going
to get in to some new business or job. If we see lot of temple
ceremony crowds, implies a business/ job opportunity and if we
see that we are standing in the crowds implies that, somebody
is going to come to us to give great help. Bell sound and bells
related dreams. If we hear a big bell sound either from the temple
or from any sources imply that, all of our problems and stress in
the life is going to be settled very soon, and also it implies that,
again we should not get in to the problems or causing stress to
somebody. Green trees or Tree Avenues; seeing some kinds of
Avenues with lot of Trees or Green leaves implies that, we are
going to have excellent new baby in our life. Chances to get
some huge money from the unexpected channels, winning lotto,
getting money from the Politicians are the possibilities.
Seeing in the dreams about Raja, (government people) Elephant,
Horse, Cow, Bull, Gold would give Dhana laabam (excellent
immediate wealth), lucky children, traveling to the holy places.
Dreams like you are riding or happened to climb bull, elephant,
mountains, tree and dreaming like garbage or split of other person
fall on our body and seeing blood, dead body, and prostitute
would yield a special benefit or quick luck, betterment of the
health, or would absorb new cloths. Seeing a very low cadre
people ( in India we call them as scheduled caste people) or the
cleaning persons come with dangerous instruments to fight with
us, - soon we would get lot of health related problems. . Feeling
like, we clean the home with cow dung and praying, would yield
unnecessary feeling about robbers and bad peoples. .Happened
to see a pundit comes to the home that is not married; chances
are to get fire problems or accidents.
Climbing on a tree with lot of flowers and fruits gives siddhi-
definite success in our endeavors. Snake climbing on the right
shoulder is the symbol for definite success to get gold/ money, or
getting new children. Eating on the walls or crossing the border
of sea in any means of transportation, gives an unexpected
promotion or the increment in the job. Seeing snake or cancer
means getting money or success. Seeing like eating the sweet
on the Lotus Leaf, the person is going to be a Millionaire soon.
Seeing like catching the birds, would yield to enjoyment with a
new girl or lady and all the material blessings.
Seeing like drinking or making Liquor and seeing or getting or
giving Blood would yield Excellent Education or wealth. Seeing
dheepam (dhiya), Bird, Umbrella, Chaamaram and Prostitute
will bring definite success in the action or job. Seeing like having
the intestine of a human being around us means the concerned
person will become the leader for the place, town, country, or
Nation. Seeing like traveling in the carts having Donkey, Camel,
or Buffalo means death is soon. Seeing Thaamboolam, (Marriage
Plate), Sandal or Sandal Paste, Curd
(Yogurt), Pearls, Flowers will bring excellent growth of wealth.

which we are using in our day to day life reflects that, we are
going to have sudden “Kubera Sampatthu” (great wealth) and

Spiritual Solutions of Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar for Mind related
problems.
According to Atharva Veda, there are three kinds of thoughts.
The first is positive, the second is negative and the third is neutral.
The positive thoughts will be beneficial for the persons as well
as the society. The neutral thoughts do neither good nor bad. But
they are always dangerous to the society and they are harmful to
themselves also. The psychological problems are worse than the
physiological problems. The physiology problems will result only
in physical disability but the psychological problems will result in
social disability. One can survive with the physical disability but
none can survive with the social disability. What are the reasons
for a person to have the aforesaid problems? Swamiji Sri.Selvam
Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam) replies in a single word for
this question. According to Atharva Veda the planets are the only
reasons for the thoughts of a human being. If the planets like Sun,
Venus and Jupiter are well placed in one’s horoscope or astrological
chart, that person will be only with positive thoughts. If the planets
like Mars, Raaghu, and Saturn are powerful in one’s horoscope or
astrological chart the concerned person will have only negative
thoughts. If the planets Moon, Mercury and Kethu are well placed
in one’s horoscope that person’s thoughts will be neutral. What
is the spiritual solution for correcting the human mind? The
correction of the planetary positions through the Atharva Veda
Thantric rituals to the Atharva Veda Yaksha/Yakshini Devathas as
per the direction of Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar
(Dr. Commander Selvam) is the only spiritual solution for
correcting the negative thoughts rising in a human mind. By
performing the rituals mentioned in Atharva Veda one can easily
master the mind. There are some Yaksha/Yakshini Devathas.
Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam) explains
in detail about two Rudra forms of Lord Shiva as spiritual solution
for the mind related and psychological problems. The first is Yoga
Rudra, the second is Virinchi Rudra.
Yoga Rudra. Once upon a time, the world was covered with
darkness. The saint and sages called all the Rishis and studied the
position and reason for the darkness. The community of demons
was increasing and the light to the earth was decreasing. All the
Rishis with Saint, ‘Pragadharana’ started the yagna (sacred Fire)
and prayed the Lord Shiva for the rescue of universe. Lord Shiva
appeared before the yagna and put a part of him in the sacred fire.
A kid called ‘Yoga Rudhra’ came from the yagna. He was very
beautiful with a garland of pearl. With the benediction of this God,
the mankind and devotees were able to get the light and heat to the
world. Where there is darkness, the need of a Lamp is essential that
Lamp is “Lord Shiva”. As he removed the darkness and saved the
entire universe he will clear off all the darkness from the minds of
his devotees. The psychological problems cause darkness in the
human minds.
Virinchi Rudra: We can observe an excellent view in the form
of Virinchi Rudhra Moorthy. Lord Shiva is seen here just like
Lord Brahma. The word “Virinchi” has a close connection to
the task of creation. Lord Brahma, the creator of human beings
and other lives on earth. He is the authority for knowledge and
wisdom. The sensitivity to all beings and plants is bestowed by
Lord Brahma. Whole creations of stars earth and worlds are being
the conducts of ‘Trimoorthy’. Three great Lords in unity take care
of the functioning. So the joint establishments are exposed every
where in several types of idols. Here Lord Shiva is dressed with
silk and has the ‘Rudhraksha’ and a small pot with holy water. He
appears like Lord Brahma. His benevolent presence is with full of
knowledge and wisdom. Virinchi gives the meaning of blossom.
Every body’s knowledge will have to attain the fertility. This
Virinchi Rudra enlightens the minds of his devotees. He improves
the creative thinking of his devotees. The increase of the creative
thinking clears off all the psychological problems. To solve your

The transit is the nature of the planets. But the transit of the
major planets Jupiter, Saturn, Raaghu and Kethu will bring major
changes in the human life. In common the “Saturn’s Transit”
will show so many changes in the universal affairs as well as in
the personal affairs of individuals. Certain signs will spell most
critical moments and struggles. This year he transits from the sign
“Simmam” to the sign “Kanya”. The sign referred is “Kanya”.
This sign belongs to Lord Mercury. We give grattitudes as angel
and demi gods to the planets. While writing, the “Lord” in front of
the name of the planets are to be most reasonable with the grade
of worship.
The Houses of Lord Mercury are Gemini (Mithunam) and Virgo
(Kanya). When Lord Saturn reaches there, these two houses are
considered to be trouble some. An incidence to this reference is
fit to be explained here. During 1945, Lord Saturn entered the

the city of Hiroshima was dropped and continued with another
city so called as “Nagasaki”. Both are of the country Japan which
was under the ruler ship of an emperor. The present terms of
Democratic formalities were not regularised during that period.
It was called as Second World War. Just imagine how many lives
were lost and what a great loss with tragedy which was acting
upon the fate of “Japan’.
Previous histories were checked and found that the transiting
houses, Gemini and Virgo never left with out calamities. So, it
is the duty of all nations to follow the peaceful measures setting
aside the dispute which lead to war. The natural calamities like
Tsunami, earth quake and rupturing of volcanoes may also spell
danger. All people, irrespective of caste, creed, religion and
region should pray for the mercy of god. For an individual person
what are the unwanted affairs and trouble shall affect? For these
questions all the 12 signs are referred and the opinions are charted
out here. Time of action and the plans to manage properly will be
main issue for one and all. This period is considered to be long
for two and half year. All these are only guidelines and hints.
The results will vary according to the individual horoscope. To

Saturn, contact Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander

be adopted to keep every part of the body in order. Nothing, sort of

care for better sleeping and to have timely food are to be taken
along with the spiritual cares are to be taken to solve this worst
situation.
Remedial measures are be taken as per the instructions of Swamiji
Sri.Selvam Siddhar
Simmam:
For your account, Lord Saturn has spent 5 years in your sign and
has troubled all your activities. From the head to the shoulder, now
the burden is getting lesser pressure. Yet 21/2years, the Lord will
give the challenges and tests. You are considered as out going
student with the final years of 2 ½. You will have tight schedules,
short of finance and mixed responsibilities at home. Sometimes
the fear and lack of braveness will rise. You have to manage every
thing. A scene of impossibility will come; by slow and steady
approach. you will get the things settled little by little. You can not
move the coin as you like it. It will be pressurized to that nature
and way. Mainly maternal asset and your duties for her will be the
issue for attendance.
The Relief is there when you begin to worship Lord Saturn every
day with the mantras initialized by Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar.
Remedial measure is to be programmed as per the instructions of
Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar
Kanya:
It was June 2006; the tuff time began day by day, the commitments
increased. Now it will be like a big mountain. You should take care
for your health mainly. The abnormal self-confidence and the false
hood stockist were in charge to block your provisions and funds.
Another 5 years, you will not be having easy times. This year, and
the next Lord Saturn dictates terms sitting upon your head. You
should not try for haste decisions. Slowly and as the favourable
tides begin, you should do one after another. You are considered
to be major strain Bearer of this transit. By aspecting your house
of job and trade, he guides with support in rare hours. That will be
like ‘Oasis’ in the midst of desert. Less and limitted happiness with
spouse is scarcely seen.
Relief is there when you worship the ‘RAKSHA’ For Saturn. This
Raksha should be had from Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar. Then
only it will give the proper result.
Thulam:
A long way is ahead for you. From today seven and healf years to be
influenced by the Lord Saturn who is very hard and punishing God.
All you do, you should have a norm of justice. In money making
if you happen to fall as victim to multiple the money with wrong
norms, then the trouble will be doubled. Your accute shortage of
finance positions will thrive you to do boldly the unwanted ways.
You have to be very careful. Property assets, vehicles too will put
you unnecessary expenditures. Your paternal support or blessings
what ever, it comes lately. The health point and to care the grants
of father will also be with question mark.

Relief measures are focussed for continuous and proper way of
increasing the in come. As mentioned to ‘Kanya’ Rasi people,
the properly energized Raksha to be established at home.
Viruchigam:
Hereafter there will be a check in all your activities. That is
for 2 ½ years. The look of enemies and trouble creators will
be increased. Some kind of settlement or rights creating will be
there for you. This is with reference to the Assets. The children
at Home will feel often with sick and poor health. Every year
during June, July, you will be facing critical scenes in travel.
Some times little accidents will also happen. Your life with
spouse will be with uneasiness and half hearted. You have to
care more on your partner. Savings or accumulations of funds
will be marginally possible. More expenditure than income will
be there.
As a remedial measure and to face the challenges, you have to
do the rituals as mentioned in Atharva Veda under the guidance
of Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar.
Dhanur:
You felt several years several kinds of events which were
fetchings only a limited incomes and slow progress. When Lord
Saturn gives no one could stand in between you and the Lord. It is
professionally and trade wise a turning point. You have to utilize
this. Your health and inside your family some sort of discomfort
will prevail. But you have to manage and persist on progress and
improvement. The happy times with spouse will also are less
and limited. Any how the steady improvement is ahead for you.
Before December you can witness the development by 2010,
when Lord Jupiter reaches the “Kumba” you have to stabilize
the reached trend. Lord Jupiter can give you set back by that
time. You have to be pre arranged and keep the situation with
vigil.
Remedial measure is to be programmed as per the instructions
of Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar, so that the grants of Lord Saturn
should not be affected by Lord Jupiter.
Siddhi Times USA 48
Magaram:
Among 12 signs your sign is the one which will have the
minimized tense. You had sufferings of Ashtama Sani, which
is being relieved now. Your past periods of almost 5 years,
the very hard situations were met and passed. This year the
occupation of Lord Jupiter in your sign will be till Dec2009.
The loneliness and thoughts on philosophy will rise often.
Since you are trained for the last 2 ½ years with the influence
of Astam Sani, your ability is increased and now your fitness
is acting to proceed with possible reach of success. Since Lord
Saturn is likely to reach his House of exaltation by 2012, your
position and status should also have a steady progress. Your
strong and rigid methods of executions will be supported and
awarded.
Even though there is no need of rituals as salvation of the
problems, it is advisable to do pre cautionary steps as per the
divine instruction of Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar.
Kumbam:
You are going to be experienced by the transit of Lord Saturn
as well Lord Jupiter. It is Ashtama Sani for you for further 2
½ years. You have to draw the chart of projects of small but
possible problems. The major, if you think, it will give suffering
and failure. When the success – tides are for away, aiming the
same now will not be advisable. Since Lord Saturn is a punisher,
everybody should bow head and do the matters humbly and
gently. He governs your trade/ profession place and supports.
Family education and finance will have the set back. The
expectations and desires are in all level you yourself should
bring to the minimum. Some jobs started already will have a set
back. In such way a deserted feeling will rise.
The ‘Raksha’ as per the divine instruction initialization of
Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar is to be worshipped for the welfare
and uplift.
Meenam:
Your travels, your walkings, even crossing the roads, in all
such you have to be very care. Be steady and do slowly. This
is what Lord Saturn will like from every one. Seventh Square is
such a place; some kind of accident may come. Certain people
the hugmoney will be blocked. The safety for money should
be concerned much. Otherwise loss will come. When the first
year is gradually passing (2010) the normalcy and grip in your
activities will start. Lord Jupiter will govern your place of
asset, spouse, and fortune. His transit is during December 2009.
Since Lord Saturn’s look falls directly to your sign, even your
complexion will have a light coating of dark.
To be in a balanced way, the relief measure should be cared.
First you have to be very slow in activities should not drive your
brain fastly and vehemently. The specialized rituals to remove
the evilness of the7th house Saturn is to conducted as per the
divine instruction of Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar.

knowledge also. More than these things the blessings of the
Yaksha/Yakshini devathas are needed. Only with the blessings
all predictions will become the most accurate.

Mesham:
Lord Jupiter governs you’re the place of family, finance and education. The house of happiness,
assets and belongings is also looked by Jupiter. He controlls your liabilities and burden. The job
and profession will be with time to time changes. Some people may feel it to be in a trending
decreasing load. Since Lord Venus is with Lord Kethu, the married persons will have to care
their companion with medical aid and also guard them from small accidents or sickness.

The education will be good for students. For lovers, their plan and estimation will have a
set back. They have to wait for another month. In total this month will be good for your
future plans. Since the planetary changes occur, and the Lord Saturn’s transit is on 09.09.2009,
separate information is given. It is good to know the matters and follow the notes for the
welfare. The combinations of Lords Sun and Saturn will be creating inconveniences in the
affairs of paternal as well as assets.

Any way Lord Jupiter is guiding the family factors with his good support.

 Rishabam:
Lord of your sign, Lord Venus is transiting
with Lord Kethu. This month, you will be
accommodated in a confused way. Even
the health may get a set back. House of
finance is blocked by Lord Mars. The
burden in family is more. The expenditures
are more and the income is less. Lord of the
second and 5th House is seated well. The
children issue, the poorva punya and the
planning for new income will be settling
to your expectation.
The profession or trade will have two
opinions for implementation. Those
proposals may not be followed. Again a
new proposal will rise. In the 3rd week of
this month a clear picture will be formed.
Since Lord Jupiter shows his grace on
your sign, your ability will be capable of
managing everything. Students will have
to be very attentive or otherwise the rank
in studies will decline. Lovers will not
be with peaceful trend. Lords Venus and
Kethu in one constellation create anquish
and disappointments.
Family persons, spouses will be with more
tension. This month will have to go and the
next month, they can have good privacy.

Your sign is occupied by Lord Mars. Your
brain is with full of tension and further
burdens are also likely to be loaded. Lord
of your sign, Lord Mercury is powerful.
Your capacity will be doubled. You can
make all the programs for execution.
In the House of finance Lord Venus has
affiliation with Lord Kethu. This will
create certain new problems with your
dearest or spouse. Lord Jupiter stands in
opposition with Lord Venus. That is a
scene of argument in your home and out
side places. Children’s education will be
affected a little. Students could not read
well.
To manage the scenes, the Lord Mercury is
in exalted position and will pave paths for
early clearance of the mounted programs.
Since, the separate pages are explained
with details of Lord Saturn’s transit. You
have to adopt the procedures explained in
those pages to have a spiritual salvation

of the entire family.

month.

The first week will be very crucial. You
have lot of works to be done. For every
program or plan, the finalization will
not be easy. You will have many self
discussions and draw the matters endless.
For further 2 weeks the situation will not
be cleared. Some thing unwanted and
with big oppositions only crossing before
you for clearance. Students can not under
stand their lessons properly. Their times
will be spent unnecessarily. Scince Sade

peaceful trend. Lord Venus is in difficult
transit with Lord Kethu. This month the
happiness will be less. Merchants will find
a dull trend in trade. The persons who are
doing jobs are doing more work and the

Simmam:
Lord of your sign Lord Sun is in your sign
as the ruler of that house. You are keeping
up your command and prestige. You have
the fear that the same is not being meritted
by others. You will have the individuality
and strength, when Lord Saturn moves to
“Kanya” on 9th of this month. This year
you will be engaged in several affairs.
Ofcourse all are with more burdens and
duties. For the past 5 years, you had the
excellent raining with Lord Saturn, who
has taught many great lessons. He is going
to reach ‘Kanya’ and give you final shape
and touch for another two years. It will
be little bit hard; but you should have that
experience.
Since the Lord Venus is with Lord Kethu,
your nearest relatives and companions
will be facing certain weakness and sick.
It will be alright after 3 weeks.
Students will shine well in education.
Domestic and finance matters will be to
your expectation. Lovers, spouses are with
little inconvenience, however that is only
for a short time. Your capacity ability and
activity all are gradually rising to good
position.
Kanya:
Lord of your sign, Lord Mercury is good
with exaltation in Kanya. You are capable
of projecting your schemes with effort.
Still you find an incompletion. Lord
Mercury empowers you to fulfillment. Yet
your affairs are increasing and needing the
financing touch up. Lord Saturn arrives
to your sign. You have to take much
care even to walk a distance. Take slow
process to do every thing so that you can
avoid any slip down or minor accidents.
A separate “Raksha” for your welfare is
explained in the article “Transit of Saturn”
and you have to follow the norms stated
there. Your future and welfare will be
cared much.
Lovers and spouses will be with uneasiness
for further two weeks. Students will be
bright with brilliance. They are capable of
studying well.
Family, personal and domestic
managements are moving well. The traders
and job goers will be fetching proper
incomes and rising for developments
amidst this 71/2 Sade sathi Saturn period.
Thulam:
This month will be a hard one to pass.
Your sign Lord, Lord Venus is in the
heavy clutches of Lord Kethu. Your
engagements are clamped with more
responsibility and burden. Certain times
you can feel your inability to complete
the matters. Your attempts and affairs are
more and more. Some times the financial
struck up too gives pressure in all sides.
Since Lord Mars is on way to his house
of debilitation, you have to calculate in all
the way with economy and save money.
It will be going out of your hands fastly.
The pending works will be mounted. The
students may not be able to score good
marks. They should strain much to show
their progress.
Since Lord Venus is with Lord Kethu,
this will give an uneasy scene and more
complicated event in the matters with
spouse. The lovers also will not be able
to see a smooth trend. All because, the
combination of Lords Venus and Kethu in
the star Poosam (Pushya)
Anyway this month will pass only with
hard ship.

 Viruchigam:
When your sign Lord Mars is in 8th,
it is impossible to put your place in
high command. A fearful and gloomy
atmosphere will prevail. Lord of 2nd
sign and 5th sign, Lord Jupiter is in
debilitation. The is draw back is adding
for a delay or postponement or faileure.
You have to be very careful in all affairs.
The expenditures are to be cut down. The
Lord of your sign Lord Mars is heading
for the debilitation and makes you to feel
lonely and helpless. Some how or other the
routine trade/ job will be there to meet the
sequence. Regarding privacy, happy times
with spouse and domestic attendance all
will be very less. The lovers feel dejected
and the waiting time will be increased
endlessly. They have to care the health of
their counter parts.
Students are not permitted to engage with
reading. The friends circle or call from
home people will disturb a lot.
Since Lord Jupiter plays the role creator of
disturbance, you have to move with slow
approach and do the works and jobs till
December 2009.

Dhanur:
Even though your sign Lord, Lord Jupiter
is in debilitation, Lord Saturn is likely to
reach 10th square. This will give good
improvement in job and trade. Lord
Mercury, the Lord of 7th and 10th house
is in exaltation. This is one way a big
challenge and other way the profession
uplifts are possible. Financially Lord
Raaghu as well as debilitated Lord Jupiter
will not favor you. You can cover your
targets only with all sorts of arrangements
and adjustments.
Since Lord Mars in 7th sign, your privacy
or times with sweet heart or spouse are all
limited and gives disappointment only.
Fortune House and peternal blessings are
there but Lord Saturn disturbs to postpone
the entire affair.
Spouses and sweet hearts are not having
good privacy and happy times. Even if it
is tried, the delay and postponement will
occur.
This month is with mixed trend of good
and uneasiness.
Magaram:
Your sign Lord, Lord Saturn and the 8th
house Lord, Lord Sun join in 8th House.
This reveals the the fact, that the terrible
load of duty bound commitments are
heading for clearance. All these 2 ½ years,
so called as Ashtama sani (Saturn in the
8th house) is getting relieved. You are
going to find the brightness and success
little by little. The occupant of your sign,
Lord Jupiter aspects your 5th, 7th and 9th
Houses. This is good and supporting trend
for all your proceedings. A scene of green
signal to your efforts and better prospects
are likely to come little by little.
In the 7th house “Kadagam” Lords Venus
and Kethu combine and give disappointment
in your privacy expectation of happiness
with your dearest. The 3rd and 4th week,
the favorable tides are there.
Students will be facing more doubts and
they could feel hard to understand the
lessons. Better to have the teachers’ advice
during the leisurely hours. Domestic trend
and children’s need will be maintained
properly. For Traders, it is advised, that
there should be good vigil in investment.
Your money is going to be blocked.
For Magaram people good times are
heading little by little.
Kumbam:
Lord of sign Lord Saturn and the Lord of
7th sign Lord Sun sit jointly in 7th House.
This is a position of some what complicated
drama. The affairs are going against your
will. It seems there are much opposition also
comming in your way. Specifically Lord
Venus is also powerless to you. You have to
pass the first two weeks of this month with
entire carefulness. Since the Ashtama Sani
is going to begin, calculate how to reduce
your establishment expenditure. Some
times, it will keep you to be troublesome in
finance. Sometimes the increase in trouble
may arise.
When the situation is foreseen all kinds of
vigil and preventive methods are to drown.
The thoughts on pleasure or happy times
will reduce. The mind will be getting settled
with religious and pilgrimic thoughts.
Separate ‘Raksha’ for prayer, is specifiend
in the pages ‘Transit of Saturn’. You have
to speak the smooth and flexible words only.
Irritation and anger will come and even the
quarrels are possible. On Saturdays pray to
Lord Saturn. If any thing happens contrary
to your expectation, you have to make
yourself calm and mix with situation. All
people from children, elders, professionals,
lovers will be really the sufferers.
They have to worship Lord Saturn and get
his grace.

Meenam:
An unsettled trend will be the scene in
the attempts created. Your sign lord, Lord
Jupiter is in debilitation. As your sign Lord
is so powerless, he puts you answerable
for the commitments. Lord Mercury is
powerful. He is projecting some of the
events which you could not manage. Such
are the time for the September is engaged.
Finance, plan to meet out, time fixed
for settlement, are not coinciding with
program. All because of the debilitate
status of Lord Jupiter. This month, you
have to take care during travels. Generally
kandaka Sani, ie Lord Saturn in 7th square
to your sign may give sickness, or minor
accidents.
Regarding education of Students, they can
proceed well. Children will be restless and
tired. You have to give them the proper
vitamins, minerals and feed them with
fruits. Lovers and their trend will not be
good for another week. Spouses and their
health questions are little dragging with
weakness. Till January 2010, the time will
be fluctuating and certain fortunes are also
likely to come.
Traders and job goers can see only a very
normal situation.
The holiest Priests of the holiest Temple.
A priest is a person having the authority or power
to administer religious rites for the betterment of
the entire human race. The prayers are of various
types. They are Poojas, Prayers and Rituals. Pooja
is an important part and important daily routine of
a human being. The Pooja is the Thanks Giving for
the Almighty god. The rituals are to be performed to
have spiritual salvation from a problem. According
to Hindu Philosophy, there are four Vedas namely
Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and Atharva
Veda. The first three Vedas explain the power of God
or Almighty or Super human power. The Atharva
Veda is the only Veda which tells the utilization
of the power of the super human power to have
spiritual salvation from the problems faced by the
human beings. Mostly, the Temples all around the
world will be based either on the first two Veda,
Sivagamas or Vaishnava Agamas. But Shiva
Vishnu Temple (Hindu Temple of Georgia) is the
only Temple that follows the principles of Atharva
Veda. The priests of Shiva Vishnu Temple are
highly knowledge, well learned and well trained in
performing poojas, prayers and rituals. The basic
qualification of a priest is that the priest should be
able to perform the routine poojas of the temples
and help the people to maintain thw tradition. This
needs enormous training also. The knowledge
of any vedic scripture is useless if the priest is
unable to work with a smiling face. The priests
should always have a mentality of dedication and
devotion. The priests of Shiva Vishnu Temple are
well learned, well trained, well cultured and highly
dedicative personalities. The happiest photos of
the learned scholars adorn the cover page of this
month.
