3. The Karma and Results

In India, traditional astrology prevails uninterruptedly over more than 2000 years. When the native encounters malefic planetary influence, remedial measures are offered as time-tested technique in the ordinary sense. The remedial measures are adopted in a proactive manner, as the best opportunity to manage the challenges in life. Even though the Modern Astrology in India and Western Astrology are the succeeded form of early civilizations, the remedial measures adopted for the wellbeing of the man is seemingly different from one another. The Indian religious experience is different from western and the concept of remedial measures differs accordingly. The Brihad Parashara stream of Astrology accepts the divinity of lunisolar planets based on the belief that creation, destruction, progress and downfall in this universe are under the jurisdiction of planets. Indian astrology was developed at a time of visibility of the planets such as Moon with naked eyes having similarity of waxing and waning as compared to birth and death as natural truth.

The Greek definition of the word planet means ‘wanderer’ whereas it is known as graha in Sanskrit having the meaning ‘that which seizes or influences you’. Most of the Indians believe in the doctrines of birth and re-birth as a result of accumulated karmas occurred in the previous lives which needs a Karaka to suffer. To perform the remedial measures for any planet is to understand that they require a volitional attitude of the mind. The auspicious time influence needs to be reckoned before performing remedies such chanting mantras and adoration. For every remedy, auspicious day of the planet to be selected better during the waxing moon in brighter half.
