"JYOTISH REMEDIES-PROPITIATORY"

CHARITIES
The suggested propitiatory astrological Remedial Measures (Charities) for
the Functional Malefic planets are given here. The suggested remedies are
to be performed daily in the morning after bath and before breakfast. These
propitiatory remedies act in an effective manner when used with
strengthening remedial measures through a Kavach or a Special Power
Kavach where the afflictions are severe in the natal chart.

The simple propitiatory remedies are based on Bhoota yagyam, one of the
Panch Maha Yagyas (five great sacrifices) mentioned in Vedic literature
and Upanishads, and the planetary tastes and preferences. For further
details on application of astral remedies, electing auspicious time for
wearing Kavach or Special Power Kavach and FAQs the interested readers
may refer to our book, Systems'Approach for Interpreting Horoscopes. For
ascendant-wise propitiatory remedies and case studies on handling
progeny problems, psychiatric problems, marriage problems and financial
prosperity through astral or jyotish remedies, the readers may refer to our
book, Predictive Techniques and the Application of Astrological Remedial
Measures.
