The Aftermaths of visiting an ancient ruin. A visit to ruins. Ghosts of the ancient past and the frightful events thereafter. Lost memory. A real life story and a Vedic Jyotiśa Perspective.

The monuments from the ancient past lure a large number of tourist from all round the

 world. People love visiting the ancient ruins. Some people are thrilled at the mere mention of such places. The romanticism and thrill of seeing an ancient structure is bewildering for some. People also get attracted to more thrilling experiences like the Catacombs of Paris, the
prison of Alcataraz or Eastern State Penitentiary, Philadelphia.
However, there is a hidden problem with all these ancient structures. These structures have been the domains of old and powerful entities. These places and structures have been witness to many dreadful incidents as
well. The incidents with their intensity and ghastliness remain in the form of energy at that respective place. The problem with energy is that, the energy is neither created and it is never destroyed. It just changes into different forms. These ruins hold concentrated dreadful
power zones that have gained power because of the long time factor and intensity of the incidents. These negative energies are like contagious virus that can inflict the weaker neurological reflexes. They can even possess people, without even a single hint.
I have found that
these ruins show remarkable variation in EM meters. In the tests performed by us, we have found changes in Natural EM fields at such places.
So, it is in my habit to warn people visiting such places, about the aftermaths they may face from such encounters (Though lot of it is in
friendly tone). I will not claim that everybody who visits such places suffers from such things, but precautions are necessary. The incident I am going to narrate is a frightful experience of a young female who underwent many problems after her visit to such a ruin. The place
she visited is very near to Alwar. It is known as Bhangarh and considered an abode of many powerful spirits who died on a single night.
Please read my other narration to get an idea about Bhangarh.
This female use to visit me regularly for consultations and was about to get
married to the love of her life. During one such consultation, I felt that her behavior was very different.
There is a usual approach and decency, which is observed in India if we happen to visit an astrologer. Leaning on the table and using profane words during conversation is
a taboo if we are talking about the meeting with an astrologer. I was aware of her behavior from our previous meetings and these sudden behavioral changes were unexpected.
I also have doubts that some negative personality or entity is overpowering her own individuality. On
enquiry, I found that this female recently visited a ruin situated near Alwar. This aroused my curiosity and I felt something wrong has happened with her.
I told her to visit a particular temple where this problem can be cured. It was a routine thing and I forgot about it.
Later
during the late evening hours, two three people came to my house looking for me. I was not planning to meet them, as I do not see horoscopes after Sunset. They informed the people in the house that they are there because of a problem with the female who met me on the same day.
They were confused and informed me that right after the visit to that temple, the female has lost her memory. She is feeling dizzy and remembers nothing. This was not alarming as there was no medical condition. However, it was important to inform her relatives (She was living
alone in town) to visit her. Her father was informed aptly and he reached the placed on the next very day. He also paid a visit to my place on the second day.
His daughter accompanied him, but I could clearly see the symptoms mentioned in Ayruveda classics. She was suffering from
Bhooto-unmad and her eyes were fixed on top. She was not present there, despite of her bodily presence. When I asked her something, she started having convulsions and then immediately she felt asleep. I told her father to take her to temple again.
Her father took her there, but
her condition was not curable.
Then her father took her back to her hometown. In the meanwhile, her fiancée was searching for some Shaman or tantric who can cure her. Their search ended in Ajmer where a man was able to cure her.
The man who cured her was a Muslim. He informed
them on the first meeting that the female has visited a ruin and that a zinn has taken her under his control. They were informed that he was planning to kill her. (This was right because during my earlier meeting with her, she informed me that she wanted to kill herself).
He just
did some rituals and then gave them a folded piece of paper. They were informed to put that paper under a heavy rock on the side of the road. They followed the instructions and she was cured thereafter.
She recovered but forgot the thirteen days in which the Jinn influenced her.
I wanted to ask her few questions and so I was able to interview her when she visited me again.
I asked her about our meeting but she could not remember it. She was also very bewildered when I told her about her reaction when she came to my office. She felt amused and perplexed
at the same time.
Let us see the same incident under the light of Vedic astrology.
The underworld is ruled by Mars, Rahu, Ketu, afflicted Moon, 8th, 6th house and eighth house lord. Vayu and Jal rasis have special say in this matter.
She is born with Gemini ascendant (Vayu rāśi)
and Moon (Jal gṛha) is placed in Gandānt ṇakśatra. Ketu is near to moon. This is a bad combination for Āyu as well as such affliction. Moon is of Krishna Pakśa and afflicted by association and Gandānt.
Lord of the sixth house is Mars and is placed in own house. The Badhakeś
for this ascendant is Jupiter and is aspected by Mars.
Mahadaśa lord is Venus and is with Rahu (8th house). The antar is of Rahu and pratyantar was of ketu. The house of underworld is peculiarly strong with Venus and Rahu.
The lord of eighth house is exalted in D-9 with Rahu and
Mars combined and watching the ascendant.
These combinations indicate Bhoota bādhā, which happened with her. One needs to apply these combinations in combined manner to come to a conclusion.
So next time you are planning to visit a ruin just be very careful. It is good to
avoid places of gruesome history. There is no good in it and you will never know about the affliction if you are not careful enough.

How do gemstones affect us? What do granthas say about gemstones and their relation to planets ? How can you change destiny with gemstones? Effects of stones.

🦜 Gemstones affect human psyche but it is not a mathematical model. Since human psyche is prone to variability,


emotional variations and paranormal effects, gemstones may or may not show similar effects on all human beings. So effects of gemstones cannot be quantified.
🦜 Gemstones are mentioned in many ancient granthas, their effects enumerated, however only primary gemstones and

subsidiary stones are mentioned. They do not work based on lagna, ninth or fifth lord only. For analysis the whole horoscope has to be analysed at a very deep level to understand how they effect a person. Despite of all this, clarity, quality and the psyche of the person can

change the effects. Most of the gemstones in market are treated, cultured or changed from the natural order. They do not affect a person.
🦜 Synthetics are for beauty and not effects and gemstones like opal, white sapphire, firoza, are not mentioned in classics. Five gems are

considered mahāratna (Ruby, Diamond, Emerald, nīlamaṇi and pearl are mahāratna). Gomedaka, Coral, Cats eye and Yellow topaz (puṣparāga, Gem of Jupiter) are called Uparatnas.
🦜 Body pains, effects on relations like husband, wife, and children have nothing to do with effects of

🔴 Remedies for strī śrāpa (Curses from the female power) 🔱

Strī śrāpa manifests in life when we have misbehaved with women or strī in our previous or this incarnation. Every strī is an expansion of Devi bhava and every puruṣā is an extension of śiva ṭatva. Women who suffer


at the hand of male counterpart have karmic debts of bad behaviour with males and vice versa.
It is not necessary that the other women should be your wife, she can be anyone; may be a sister, a mother or daughter. In all forms; women related issues are expansion of strī śrāpa.

One thing which someone needs to understand is that all this backfire is generated by his own karmic deeds. Nobody else is responsible for the same.
This usually happens when Venus and Moon are under affliction. So the best remedy is to seek Devi to remove the curse. Usually

Ṃahalaxmi is invoked to remove troubles from Venus however, there are other effective remedies as well.
🔺 Chanting of Srisukta (Without sankalp, nyas etc.) and offering flowers, dhūpa, chandan, ṇaivedya and lamp to Devi. Paṃcopacāra offerings on every Friday. This should be

continued for as long as possible.
🔺 Chanting of Sri lalitāsahastranāma (Without nyāsa, dik Bandhan etc.) and offering Paṃcopacāra with 1000 petals for 1000 names. Each flower or flower petal for each name. Champak and Red hibiscus flowers should be used. This should be done

How do remedies work? Gemstones/ yantrās /Effectiveness / examples / astrological causes

Remedies for karmic debts can work effectively but they have to be exercised in certain manner. For example in case of certain rogā, the medicine cannot be given in raw form while in others


medicine should only be given in raw form only.

Therefore, the modus operandi of remedies is very important.
The quantity of japa, Pooja, homam, ḍeepa etc. has to be decided for their effectiveness. For example, a childless couple suffering from Sarpa dośa cannot have a child

by mere lighting a lamp in front of ṇagas. In other cases where case is small, the remedies are also small. Some remedies are expensive and strong but they have to be followed in same manner. Some remedies requires expert tantric etc. without which they cannot be done. The ten

Mahāvidhya requires a proper initiate or sadhak of mahāvidhya which is rare to find. Only he/she can solve the problem.

Mantras taken from book have no power either because they are nailed or because they lack the power of the Guru or initiate who lives with the mantra. That

power is transferred to student when the mantra is whispered in his/her ears. The mantra, homam, prayers etc requires expert mantraśastri or tantric who can do the Poojas. Ordinary purohits are not aware of the proper ritualistic procedure so their Poojas might not work.

🔱 Standard procedure for any kind of japa, mantra. Golden rules to remember.
•No japa, mantra or chanting or any strotram should be done without apt knowledge or dīkṣā from an able Guru.
•Everyone is not destined to get a Guru and you do not get guru’s through


advertisements, hence simple hari naam saṃkīrtana, lighting lamp for God in morning and evening, chanting shiva nāma etc. are best.
•Going to a proper temple is very important. Laziness, greediness and ease of living will restrict this.
•Start your mantra with Ganpati ḍhyān

, do mental offerings to Sri Ganapati, Kuladevtha etc and then do the required meditation.
•Always tell the deities to go back to their respective domains after the prayers and offer apologies for recalling them. This is udvāsana and Kshama paan.
•Always clean yourself first

and then sit in clean surroundings during pooja. Torn clothes, clothes with holes, growth of nails, untidy hair should be totally avoided during upāsana.
•Never accept mantras from books, newspapers or gullible advertisements. It will be a lifetime regret.
•Tapasya is

different from all this. It includes sleeping on floor, brahmacharya, eating only once a day, observing mauna and taking vows for fast. It is not meant for ordinary people and not very apt for grihastha.
•Remember your karmas cannot be reduced by buttering or chanting mantras

Śanaiścara: The Judge

Śanaiścara means walking or moving slowly. He is the son of Chaya of Sun. Chaya always falls on the opposite side of light, so he is ṭāmas. However, he is not ordinary child, he is the child of most luminous graha Sun. In Praśna, he rules Ṇakśatra


Ṃahāsutra. His beeja is Yama and Tatwa is Vayu. The son of Vayu Sri Ānjaneya is the one, he is most afraid of. Sri Ānjaneya is the embodiment of truth and virtue and he rules the Vayu and hence Saturn is afraid of him. Saturn has the power to see each and everything because he

moves slowly. If you are going in a Ferrari, you will not be able to observe anything in path, only a person walking with slow speed can have the clear visual observation. So he walks slowly, writing down everything and hence controls the karmic flow. He is a judge who has every

proof.
He has a brother known as Yama but he is a reflection of his own brother and hence rules death. He has two sons and both are extremely malefic and they have the power to afflict the prana. One can retard the flow and other can stop it. A great secret lays in his brother

and him and how they control the yamas of the day. He is ruled by the varṇa “Pa” in the “Pavarga”.
Saturn rules Steel and Iron and hence Modern world can see the strongest effect of Saturn. Saturn is a Ṭamsik Graha and hence it can increase the ṭāmas inside the body. To kill

Survivorship Bias 101

History is written by the victors. But if we exclusively focus on these successes, we allow survivorship bias to distort our understanding of the world.

But what is "survivorship bias" and how does it work?

Here's Survivorship Bias 101!

👇👇👇


1/ First, a few definitions.

Survivorship bias is the logical error of concentrating on survivors (successes) and ignoring casualties (failures).

When we do so, we miss the true "base rates" of survival (the actual probability of success) and arrive at flawed conclusions.

2/ When we completely ignore failures, we lose our ability to correctly identify the differences between successes and failures.

Put simply, exclusively focusing on successes may actually inhibit our ability to identify (and replicate) the actions that led to such success.


3/ Cicero wrote on the topic over 2,000 years ago.

An atheist named Diagoras is shown portraits of people who prayed and were saved from death at sea as proof of God's existence.

Diagoras replies, "I see those who were saved, but where are those painted who were shipwrecked?"


4/ Cicero cuts right to the point - we cannot conclude that prayer led to being saved from the sea if we ignore those who prayed and then drowned.

Survivorship bias can lead to a deeply-flawed understanding of cause-and-effect relationships.

Let's look at some examples.

After the 9/11 attacks, airlines and public buildings adopted a flurry of "security" measures, like taking away pen-knives from fliers or requiring visitors to office buildings to be photographed or present a driver's license.

1/


Bruce Schneier's seminal 2003 "Beyond Fear" called these measures: #securitytheater.

Schneier pointed out that these measures would be easy to circumvent, and were thus providing only the comforting appearance of security - not security

Security theater is worse than nothing. Security theater gives people the false impression that their risks have been mitigated, when actually things are just as dangerous.

After al, if you know that danger exists, you can take some steps to mitigate or avoid it.

3/

But if you have the false impression that you've been made safer, you might unwittingly engage in risky behavior.

4/

Like, if you know your car's brakes are flaky, you might nurse the car along to the mechanic at low speed on side-streets.

But if you don't know about the brakes, you're apt to discover their flaws at 75mph on the freeway.

Time once again to emphasize the differences between totalitarianism, authoritarianism, and fascism. They're often used as synonyms but they are different, although they do tend to lead to each other. Order one, and the other two are usually delivered soon enough.

Totalitarianism is best understood as the politicization of everything. Every facet of life is infused with political meaning... and subjected to political control. There is little room for privacy or individualism. Every word and deed is seen as a political action.

Totalitarianism does *not* require authoritarian government, although it usually leads to such. You can be totalitarian without having any real government power at all, enforcing your political will through mob actions and corporate power. Examples from recent history abound.

Totalitarianism is the easiest of the three deadly "isms" to slide into, because it can easily be disguised with claims of its good intentions. Totalitarians usually claim to be motivated by the Greater Good. They claim to represent the interests of sympathetic victims.

Totalitarians claim that society is unjust and must be corrected by force. Before they gain the power to become authoritarians, they often assert the right to use force outside of the law because the government is corrupt or serves the interests of their ideological enemies.

I shared this on my FB page and asked, can ya really blame him?

I was half kidding. I also assumed someone would think of what I did pretty quickly and waiting for the comment to mention what I assumed was obvious.

The timing. I was sure someone else had thought of it.


But no one did. 20+ comments in people discussed the morality or bad sense or libertarian perspectives. Someone even said I’m thinking about doing that. No one said what I thought was obvious. Have you thought of it? Is it obvious to you?

Here’s a clue...recognize it?


How about this?

Ahilyabai Holkar was one of India's
greatest women rulers of all time.

Ahilyabai was Born on May 31,1725 in the village of Chondi,Jamkhed distt,Maharashtra to a man named Mankoji Shinde,who was the Patil(Chief) of a village and a member of proud Dhangar Community.


Despite the fact that girls' education was a farther dream in those days, Ahilyabai was homeschooled by her father.
Ahilya didn't belong to any royal family but in a twist of fate she is still remembered as one of the most revered Queen in the history.


While they were living their humdrum lives, one day Malhar Rao Holkar, commander of the Peshwa Bajirao & Lord of the Malwa stopped in Chondi on his way to Pune, where he couldn't help but notice a young 8yrs old Ahilyabai in the temple service feeding the poor & hungry.

He was so impressed by the sheer innocence&beauty with simplicity character of Ahilyabai dat he asked her hand in marriage for his son Khanderao Holkar.Just like that she got married to Khanderao in 1733 at a tender age of 8&became a bride of esteemed Maratha community of Holkars

But destiny had something else in store for her as her husband died in the Battle of Kumbher in 1754 leaving her widow at 29.Distressed Ahilyabai was to commit Sati when her father-in-law Malhar Rao refused to let it happen.

A thread on the life and achievements of Muhiyudin Sayyid Abdul Qadir Jillani RadiAllah who served Islam infinitely as the Reviver (Mujadid) of the 11th Century!


Muhiyudin Sayyid Abdul Qadir Jilani (RA) was one of the greatest Islamic Saint, Scholar, and Jurist. The honorific Muhiyudin denotes his status with many Sufis as a "reviver of religion". Jilani refers to his place of birth. He also carried the epithet Baghdadi.

[1]

Sheikh Abdul Qadir Jilani was born on the eve of the 2nd of Ramadan 470 AH. His birth was a great blessing for the Ummah. It was the arrival of the Sultan al-Awliya (King of the Awliya) of that era, which had been foretold for centuries before his birth.

[2]

When Hazrat Abdul Qadir Jillani was asked by someone what brought him to his high spiritual level, he said, The truthfulness which I promised to my mother. He related the following story:
"One day, on the eve of Eid al-Adhā, I went to my mother, who was then a widow and..

[3]

..and requested her, 'Send me to the path of Truth, give me permission to go to Baghdad to acquire knowledge, to be with the wise and those who are close to Allah. She cried, but she brought out 80 pieces of gold, which was all that my father had left as inheritance.

THE BATTLE OF TALIKOTA and the destruction of Vijaynagar (Hampi)
26 January 1565

A tale of valor, deception and decimation.

A grim reminder that if we fail to protect our heritage, it will eventually crumble under the onslaught of "forces of anarchy".
(Elaborate thread)


This decisive battle was fought between the Vijayanagara empire and the Deccan sultanates resulting in a rout of Vijayanagara and ending the last major medieval era Hindu kingdom in south India.(1)

The seeds of 1565 encounter were sown more than 250 years earlier when the forces of the Delhi Sultanate, during the time of Alauddin Khilji and later Md Bin Tughlaq swept through southern India in an expansion spree.(2)

By middle of the 14th century, facing rebellions, Tughlaq withdrew to Delhi, leaving behind 2 empires, Bahmani, which ruled the Deccan from Kalaburagi, and Vijayanagara, which ruled most south India with its capital at Vijayanagar.(3)

The Raichur Doab, between the Krishna and Tungabhadra rivers, existed as a natural boundary between these two kingdoms, with wars often breaking out over control of this territory.(4)
