For Getting Issues

If anyone has no issue, it was treated as misfortune. People used to avoid seeing the face of such person early in the morning. So far, this feeling was seen in the public. It is a strong desire of every married couple, to get at least one baby. The family life remains incomplete without any issue. Love and affection for kids are the natural feelings. If these feelings are not fulfilled, the man feels more unhappy than poverty or economic backwardness..

Now in modern era, the means of test tube baby are available. Even though the couple does not afford, they get the necessary treatment, sometimes even by getting money on loan. But when they do not get any positive response of all modern treatment, they turn to the astrologers in frustration. The astrologers can analyze the reasons of failure of all medical treatments. After carefully examining the sex organs of both, if it is found that there is no fault in anybody and still there is no chance of issue, astrologers can only reply this question. Always when there is disease, there must be some remedy also. Keeping in mind this rule, our ancestors had mentioned the remedies in the science of Astrology to overcome this problem. First they find out from the birth charts of both of them whether there is any possibility of getting issue or not. If yes, then they try to find out the exact reason of not getting the issues out of certain reasons like curse of Previous birth, curse from Pitras, Yoga of discontinuance of the race, etc. When they come to exact conclusion, they find out the remedy of Narayanbali- Nagbali which is recommended.

If this formality is properly fulfilled, there is a chance of getting an issue. This is experienced by so many pilgrims. Hence it is essential to study the birth charts of both husband and wife. Then a medical check up of both of them should be made from an expert doctor. Simultaneously, with the medical treatment if the support of Narayanbali- Nagbali is properly given, surely that couple will get an issue.

Importance of children

Human beings grihastashram remains unsuccessful without child birth. He is considered as grihasthashram's treasure trove at happiness kuldeepak puja and so mahakavi bhavbhuti says, materialistic happiness and parlaukik gati (salvation in other world) is acquired only by having blessed with children In this world man gets scorched by various ill happenings when there are no physical faults and still one does not conceive a baby does not at all have children does not have son the living children do not have good health, yogakshem does not function properly then it surely must have some unseen reasons behind it they have first thought overt it and have enlisted the reason for it

some sort of deed did in earlies life (Dravya apharnadi, stealing of some one's material goods)
some apprehensive deeds alone in this life
some bad vaamkarmi Abhichaar yog (Mantratantras)
ancestors (pitaar) Relations and otherin contact do not receive proper gaati (salvatin)
exhorcied by ill spirits from the world of spirits
Naagvah (killing a naaga)

It is seen that from above mentioned six reasons sadness like childreness come to you. now lets take each of the point in details pitaar do not receive gaati means as per the rules of the nature he does not receive pitrulok means he remains dissatisficed in fact this includes much of the things shastrakaar (creators of shartrash) have decided that rishis are the managers of dnyanarajya managers of adhidaiva karma world are devatagan and adhibhut adhibhutik sthal world's manageres are our nitya pitaar and so if our pitarr remain satisfied we get materialistic happiness there satisfaction means performing shradha addressed to them. now one must understand what does it mean by shradha karma shradha word has shradha which means faith the family in which we are born and similarly our maternal family's dead oncestors (pret and pitaar) must remain satisfied and from thatwe receive sat and santati and also chir sampatti (children and eternal wealth) for that one has to offer annodakrup pitruyagya called as shradha through appropriate tildarbhaadi rituals ancestors cannot receive however pre cious and pavitra (sinless) padartha if he is not offered shradha ancestors also cannot receive the annodak if they are not offered ait through proper mantras even if it is with great faith this is said in maheshwar khand,kumarikhand chapter 35/36. There pitaar are not karmadheen, these nitya pitaar have 21 gana which shradha bhag reach them once who performs shradhadi karya becomes healthy lines long has good mannered son wealthy and respectable and received satisfaction in parlok and so how can one receive the desired without following the right path?

It means materialsticand parlaukik happiness (happiness in the other world) can be received only from pitaar. Now one must also think about who amongst our pitar (ancestors) have received proper gaati and who have not and because of what reason we do not any ways to answer the above doubt so for those who have not received gati what should we do to come out of their abligations has been thought big our rishis in the period pitrukarma has not been followed thereby happiness is also deteriorating grihasthashram means worshipping the ancertors (pitaar) to acquire completeness to the grihasthashram anugraha from the pitaar is of prime importance (blessings of ancestors)

Gurse from pitrushap can divided the children real brothers develop enemity amogst them animals wealth gets destroyed. man becomes a drunkard such miseries envelops the man members of the family do not follow dharma and also do not follow the conscience inshort the family's happiness gets destroyed and so to come out of this vicious cycle shastrakaars have given us the some keys the offerings addressed to our pitaar at a pilgrimmage appropriate time seeing the satpatra, performed with right rituals the food and material affered with great faith is called as shradha and this is the narayan nagbali ritual. as it is duty to look after our parents in their oldage and also for property earned by our parents which we inherit similarly it is our duty our to perform for limitless pitrudev and for the care taker of the world shri vishnu and also for acquiring satsantati and their sampatti (good lineage and eternal wealth) by which grahastha dharma is complete this anustana (worship) has been first told by vedas themselves all the spirits in our lineage should get pitrulok from pretalok and for that this ritual should be performed. In totality this is what shastras have told about shradha and its main past is

It means to get the parlaukik bliss your son is responsible imfact it is his duty. thats why the word son is defined But lets not describe it in details for the sake of fear still you'll be able to understand the meaning this ritual from the above verse.

To loot someone else's booty as to inherit wealth taking someone else's wealth does not not end everything as you have taken someone else's wealth if person not living and if he / she is childless then it is our duty to perform his shraddha of the person shraddha is being missed then from the above mentioned is reasons.

Kalsarpa

There are many myths about Kalsarpa Shanti and Janan Shanti in society. We have tried to clear the doubts in this article

Tithi, Var (day), Nakshatra, Yog and Karan are the five arms of Panchang. If there is any problem (Dosh) in this during the birth, it is cured with the puja namely Janan Shanti. In our daily routines, the way we clean our dirty and stained cloths and then wear the same cloths, same are the rules and ways for Janan Shanti. One needs to perform this Janan Shanti of a newborn till 12 th day from the birth. Then you can perform Naming ceremony (Namkaran) of the newborn. But unfortunately Naming ceremony is celebrated without performing Janan Shanti. In the later life if that child (person) faces number of problems (for example health, education, career, business, marriage), he rushes to the any local or not-so-studied astrologer to show his horoscope for the solution. The astrologer confirms with the person whether he has done Kalsarpa, Amavasya, Mula, Jeshtha shanti. If the astrologer learns that these shantis are not done, he gets the perfect reasons to stress the importance of the shanti tobe get done so that problems are easily solved. After shanti is performed 20-25% people are truely benefited but there is saying in Marathi 'कावळा बसायला आणि फांदी तुटायला एकच गाठ’ which means this is a shear co-incidence of performing the puja and get out of difficulties. But this is not really true. Our past experience says that 80% devotees come to Trimbakeshwar out of this prenotions. We can just say it is ignorance and lack of knowledge. Also if devotees (one who performs puja) are not benefited, they ask us the reasons of failure rather than asking the astrologer who asked them to perform this puja. If a doctor has priscribed the medicine, the chemist's duty is to hand it over to the patient. Unfortunately if the patient is not benefited then who is responsible for it ? the doctor or the chemist, you are smart enough to know the answer.

Tripindi

Tripindi Shraddha

Tripindi Shraddha is known as kamya Shraddha. The soul of a deceased person, whose Shraddha was not been performed continuously for a period of 3 years, gets converted into the category of Pret (just like a ghost). Amavas is the day of Pitars. On this day, Shraddha should be performed. However, during Navratri or on the day of death in the Krishna fortnight of the month of Bhadrapada, Tripindi should not be done.

When and where Tripindi Shraddha should be done?

On any day of Panchami, Ashtami, Ekadashi, Teras, Choudas or Amavas in any fortnight (Shukla or Krishna) of the month of Shravan, Kartik, Pousha, Magh, Phalgun, Vaishakh, doing Tripindi Shraddha is permitted by traditional science. Normally Sun remains in Virgo or Libra during 16th September to 15th November. During this period Pitars are allowed to freely come to the earth. Hence doing Tripindi during this period is more beneficial. In case of more problems, Tripindi should be done as per the guidelines given in the book of "Goda Vivekdarsha". Tripindi Shraddha should be done only at Trimbakeshwar .

Especially in Trimbakeshwar, Tripindi can be performed any time during the year. This has been supported by our traditional sciences also. In the great book of poetry known as "Raghuvansha",written by poet Kalidas, reference of Trimbakeshwar is made as "Maheshwar". In this book, the prayer is made to Trimbakeshwar (Maheshwar), to destroy all those evil movements that are in pret Yoni (Ghost).

Near Kushavart Tirth, which is in Trimbakeshwar, near the big tree of Ashwattha, there is a temple of Karpadikeshwar. If the Tripindi Shraddha is performed near the temple of Karpadikeshwar, it is more advantageous.

There is one place at 6 kms. from Trimbakeshwar known as "Pishaccha Vimochan Tirth". If Tripindi Shraddha is done at this place, the trouble of Pishaccha, i.e. ghost can be removed.

So, many people have experienced this so far. If Tripindi Shraddha as well as Tirth Shraddha is to be done, earlier Tripindi Shraddha should be done and Tirth Shraddha should be done afterwards. There are three types of Pret Yoni (ghosts) i.e. Tamoguni, Rajoguni and Satvaguni. These types are made as per the nature of those persons who are converted in this category after their death. The Tripindi Shraddha is performed to get relief of Pishaccha of any of the above categories. Before starting the Tripindi Shraddha, Gangamilan,for cleanliness of body, Prayaschitta (confession) is to be taken. For this, there is no need of Kshour (shaving of all hair from head). However, in order to take the Prayaschitta, normally Kshour is done. While doing the Tripindi Shraddha, the status of Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh are prepared and their worship is done as per the procedure of traditional science. Three Brahmins are given the task of utterance of Mantras of these three Gods. If the Pret - Soul, that is troubling us, is not known to us by its name, the word of "Anarishta Gotra" is used. This Shraddha is addressed to the particular Pret - Soul. Three different Pinds are prepared from floor of Jawas, Til and Rice. In those Pinds, sugar and ghee is also mixed. The Pind made of Jawas, is presented to the Tamoguni Soul. After doing pooja of all these Pinds, Naivedya of Mahaling, Kharik etc. is kept before Gods. This formality is done in order to satisfy the Pishaccha troubling our family and they are requested to stop their evil activities and proceed towards peace. The things like gold, silver, copper, rice, jawas, black til, udid. Khadawa(footwear made of wood) or cows are donated or amount equivalent to their value is donated.

Then a Brahmin and a married women is invited for food(Brahman Bhojana). In this way this formality is fulfilled.

What is Shraddha?

It is an accepted principle of our tradition that the body of human being gets the expiry but the souls does not expire. Our culture recognizes the significance of parents for their kids. When the parents are alive, their sons have certain responsibilities to fulfill some responsibilities. Out of those responsibilities, one is to perform the formality of 'Shraddha'. As per the procedure laid down by our religious tradition. If this formality is performed properly, the predecessors get satisfied and bless the successors with long life, fame, strength, health and all types of wealth. The shraddha formality performed for deceased parents is also known as Pitruyaadnya in our tradition science. It is mentioned in our traditional science that the deceased parents provide all the protection to their family even after death. Hence it is the responsibility of their successors to keep them pleased. The various types of Shraddha formalities are explained under:

Aurdhwadaivik

This formality is performed for the deceased members of the family. Here the particular Tithi (date as per Indian calendar ) when the person expired is very much important for performing this formality. On this day, every year the Shraddha formality is performed. In other words this is also known as Sanvatsarik Shraddha.

Kamya Shraddha

While performing the formality of shraddha, any specific desire is kept in mind to be fulfilled, the Shraddha is known as Kamya. Narayanbali, Nagbali and Tripindi are the Three shraddha that are known as Kamya Shaddha or Mahalaya Shraddha. In the Krishna fortnight of the Indian month Bhadrapada, the Shraddha is performed and that is known as Mahalaya Shraddha. In other words this is also known as Parvan Shraddha. In every panchang, on the page of Bhadrapada month, the scientific meaning of shraddha and when it should be performed is explained.

Ekodishta Shraddha

The Tripindi Shraddha is called as Ekodishta Shraddha.
