In Tamil Nadu, India, one company, Astroved.com, is making headways in partnering with Tax Accounting firms and individual taxpayers to provide regular poojas and prayers to the Gods throughout the tax season. “We first experimented with this service in 2007 with American individual tax filers and the results were so overwhelmingly positive, it even surprised us” says Jyoti Arunachala, director of the Astroved.com. One woman, Maria B. from California, had gotten into a tax crisis which was causing her much stress. She owned several rental properties in Southern California and Florida and with the housing market crash, a hefty tax bill was left at her doorstep. After the continual performance of prayers to Gods on her behalf for 45 days preceding the April 15th deadline, success came. Over $20,000 in tax debt evaporated and during the entire process she was able to work with no mental anxiety and renewed confidence that everything would work out well.

During the prime tax season from March 15th – April 15th, Astroved.com performs weekly Vedic remedies to remove obstacles and procrastination and best manage government communications with favorable outcome.

Divine help is not new to the worlds of India wherein Hindu families take new cars to the temples for Blessings and protection. What is new is merging the corporate world with the spiritual to increase the company’s bottom line. In an age where most companies are having to severe themselves from God in order to comply with Government regulations, services such as these, while potentially challenging on the political front are proving more and more popular with busy directors who are under profit pressure.

Astroved.com is the brain-child of international thought-leader Dattatreya Siva Baba. The company focuses on remedying the problems of both individuals and corporations using techniques that were prescribed in the ancient Vedas of India over 10,000 years ago. Astroved.com is based both in the U.S. and Chennai, India.

Pradosham means the removal of sins and occurs monthly during the 13th phase of the Moon (waxing or waning) to the Lord of Sin Removal, Siva. The planet Saturn is often considered the Lord of Karma whose power can transform kings to a pauper and visa versa. Saturn is also an evolving form of Lord Siva himself. Pradosham days which occur on Saturday, are considered the most powerful karma removing day of all pradoshams.

In 2008 there are only 3 Sani (Saturn) Pradosham days to take advantage of, and 2 of these occur in January. Be sure not to miss this opportunity at the start of the New Year to erase the trials of 2007 and begin anew.

January 14th (the 15th in India) marks the dawn of time in heaven. This signifies the return of light to the earth plane after 6 months of darkness. On this day the Sun moves into Capricorn. This is the most auspicious time to start a new business, relationship or any other activity. Things done during this time will have divine support.

The energy starts shifting on the 14th through the 16th. All of these days have tremendous prosperity energy. Indra, the king of heaven, rejoices during this time of abundance, fun, and luxury and happiness. To mark this occasion and to welcome the Sun into Capricorn we will do a special homa (fire ritual) for the Sun on January 15th at the Cosmic Sun Vortex Temple in India.

The Sun governs ones health both physical and mental, self-esteem, proper functioning of the heart and the vision.

Who should do this homa? It is recommended that everyone participate in the homa. The homa will be particularly good for those born with the following Ascendants and/or Sun Signs: Leo, Gemini, Cancer, Capricorn, Aquarius. People born with the above Zodiacs as their Moon sign, also will be benefited by this.

About Fire Rituals:
The strongest remedy, which can be used to alleviate karmic difficulty, is the performance of a fire ritual also known as a homa or yagna. The fire ritual is a Vedic ceremony, which is performed at a dedicated temple. During the ritual Brahmin priests continuously chant specific astrological mantras (sounds). The priests make offerings, such as rice or clarified butter, to invoke planetary deities or the gods, so that grace and intervention may be given to the person requesting the remedy. A day or two after the remedy a person may experience a relief from a negative karma, which often feels like a weight has been lifted off their shoulders. Due to this relief a person may also feel more energetic. Although it is recommended that the person be at the ceremony, fire rituals are often performed in abstentia.

Cosmic Sun Vortex (Keela Suriya Moolai Temple)

The cosmic Sun vortex is a small geographical location where the energy of millions of suns in the galaxy emanate. It is interesting to know that the siddhas perceived of the millions of suns in the universe and still concluded that the earth plane controlled those Suns, even though they are millions of light years apart. The siddhas claimed that the Suns in the galaxy visit this place on a daily basis to receive energy for their sustenance. Thanks to Sri Venkataraman Swami, the living siddha of the Agastiya tradition, for revealing the secrets of this unique sun vortex.

The upcoming Full Moon on January 21st will be the Thai Full Moon, called Thai Poosam. There is a very special spiritual significance to this Full Moon as the star Pushya (Poosam) is considered by many to be the most auspicious star for spiritual development. Pushya means “nuture” and is in the sign Cancer owned by the Moon, the Mother. The deity associated with Pushya is also Brihaspati, the Guru or teacher and so it has a property of enlightening spiritual growth. It gains even further significance as February 1st happens to be Thursday (the day ruled by Guru).

The Pushya star coinciding with the Full Moon will give one the ability to come closer to God. Even after departing this earth, the siddhas and seers maintain that those devoted to God, even kings first visit the world of Pushya star, and only then reach heaven.

It was on a Thai Poosam in 1874 that Swami Ramalingam made his final merger with Light. Ramalingam was a tremendous Saint who was able to transform his physical body into a body made of Light. He lived and maintained his body of light for 1-1/2 years for all to witness. On the Pushya star and Full Moon day, he made his final merger with the light complete and physically disappeared from the earth plane. No traces of his body were ever found. Click here to read more about Swami Ramalingam’s Jyoti Day.

In mythological times, it was on Thai Poosam day that Goddess Parvati, presented the Shakti Vel, the Divine Spear Weapon, to Lord Muruga to defeat the demon Surabhaduman. For many, Thai Poosam is the most powerful day to pray to the Vel and Muruga for destruction of all enemies, diseases and debts. The eminent spear in the hand of Lord Muruga has a lot of significance in the path of bestowing grace during the era. The Vel also is called as Jyoti, or Light.

Dattatreya Siva Baba advocates “The easiest way to access God’s grace is to feed a famished human being starving for food”.The most auspicious day to sponsor feeding is this Thai Poosam. We invite everyone to give food donations to the homeless in your neighborhood or volunteer at a local feeding center near you. Should you also wish to make a charitable gift to Tripura for feeding the hungry, you can do so by clicking the link below.

Time not only rules human life but the life of planets and countries as well. Time is a mysterious phenomenon. It is very much involved with growth. A baby is born and it grows into a boy/girl and man/woman. Plants and animals grow as well. What is time? It is difficult to precisely define it, although it is definitely movement. Consider chronological time. It is currently near the end of 2007 and after December the year 2008 starts. What makes calendar time move is the rotation of planets. If the planets don’t rotate, time does not exist.

J.Krishnanmoorthy, the celebrated mystic and philosopher of our century, introduced the concept of psychological time and also defined it as movement. Thoughts move and create time. If thoughts don’t move there won’t be any time. In his classic interview with the famous British Quantum Physicist David Bohm, Krishnamurthy discussed the ending of time at some length and how one can stop the thought process and experience timelessness.

The Tamil Siddhas had a greater understanding of time than Krishnamurthy and other material scientists who studied the phenomena of time. According to the Siddhas, there is what is known as the Kala Bhairava universe. A divine being called Kala Bhairava rules the universe. His function is to develop concepts of time for different galaxies. For instance, time moves very slowly on Planet Earth. Whereas on other planets that vibrate faster, the movement of time is much faster. It is Kala Bhairava who controls this.

The Siddhas are not simply philosophers. They are pragmatists and they designed a number of methods to achieve benefits through an association with Kala Bhairava. In their astral travel the Siddhas made visits to the Kala Bhairava universe and gave a description of what the God (Kala Bhairava) looked like. He is dark in complexion, fierce looking, and has a dog as his vehicle. A person can pray to him to alter his/her bad time or pray to enhance his/her good time, according to personal experiences and astrological circumstances.

Kala Bhairava organizes every individual’s personal time. For example, one person works for a minimum wage of $7 an hour. Someone else makes $700 an hour. Still someone else makes nothing in an hour. The person who makes nothing in an hour is absolutely insulting time. If time is unfavorable to you, and you realize that your time is not spent properly, then you can go and pray to Kala Bhairava. Present a request to Kala Bhairava to help you to better organize how you spend your time.

There is an optimal time for presenting requests to Kala Bhairava. This optimal time is the 8th moon that falls on December 1.

Generally speaking, the 8th day of the waning moon within every month is an auspicious time to get in touch with Kala Bhairava. But this coming 8th moon on December 1st is an especially good one for him. Special rituals are done for Kala Bhairava on 8th waning moon days.

Kala Bhairava Rituals at the Sivapuram Temple:

Bhairava is the most important aspect of Siva representing time and timelessness. If one receives instant enlightenment or prosperity or recovery from debt or illness it is the work of Bhairava. He created the planets and time to organize reality. Bhairava’s blessings are abundantly available during the 8th dark moon cycle (i.e., the waning moon). On September 6th I visited a very powerful Bhairava temple called Sivapuram where I had performed extended rituals and also helped to build a metal base shield (kavacha) for the Kala Bhairava statue. Kavacha are metal images of parts of the statue such as the crown, feet, arms, etc., that are super imposed on the granite statues of deities. Bhairava was so happy with the first kavacha I gave him, so now I am getting him a silver crown and constructing a small covered walkway and fire pit. These are very powerful rituals and ornaments to seek Bhairava’s presence, protection, and blessings to aid you in gaining favorable use of time and for achieving more in less time.

How can you enhance your luck? How can you counteract your ill luck?

It is important to understand the concept of luck and ill luck in human life. If a person is lucky, then he or she was born with a silver spoon in their mouth. That person doesn’t have to struggle to make a living. Children of wealthy business people, political leaders, celebrities in entertainment and sports all belong to this category. But such extremely lucky people are also extremely rare. How many people become celebrities in any given area of life? Very few. Most people have to work very, very hard to get even the most basic requirements needed. The situation is worse in 3rd world countries where resources are minimal thereby putting most of its people in eternal want and deficit.

Philanthropists, politicians and lawmakers across the world have been battling with minimal success to address the problem of poverty and lack of resources. It is true that the terms luck and ill luck are not respectable terms among intellectuals because of their metaphysical and religious connotations. I have often talked about poverty being a disease of the soul. If one’s soul espouses poverty thinking at the level of the body and mind, then that particular soul will actualize it in real life. Just as there is congenital illness there is also congenital poverty or prosperity. Congenital prosperity or poverty can only be explained in relation to one’s karma.

Karma need not be understood as a purely metaphysical term. Karma is the law of causality. You think something over and over again, and you then manifest it either in this lifetime or in another lifetime. Generally speaking, if you think about something seriously, the manifestation of it takes place in the next lifetime. Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, Ambani, Carlos Slim, and others became prosperous in this lifetime because of their work from a previous lifetime, or from many previous lifetimes.

As early as the 6th century, the Buddha did not believe in God or the Soul, but rather he believed in thought processes continuing through multiple lifetimes. He called this continuation of thought karma. Prosperity or poverty, high self-esteem or low self-esteem, health or sickness, they are all the solidified thinking process of a particular individual.

My ambition in this lifetime is to help humanity overcome poverty and sickness by diffusing the individual’s karma responsible for these conditions. Whenever there is a disease or problem you should go to the cause of the problem and address it at that level. Finding a superficial, external solution is just like treating the symptom of a disease instead of the cause. The seers of India are scientists of life. They have discovered solutions for all problems – poverty, prosperity, sickness, health, success and failure – through the planets.

If a planet governing money/relationship/health, etc., is weak in a person’s chart, then that area of his/her life will invariably become defective. Most problems are fixable through appropriate remedies as suggested by the yogic seers. Contemporary modern scholars designate astrology as superstition. However, Nadi leaves (as used in Nadi Astrology) that verify personal data of any given individual is the scientific proof for the viability of astrology.
