Shree Mukundamala
Garland of Hymns to Lord Vishnu
Divine love (bhakti) transforms our ordinary life into an inner pilgrimage, leading to an
ecstatic union with the Lord. King Kulasekhara, one of the twelve Vaishnavaite Alvars,
was a bhakti theologian and devotional poet from medieval South India. He threw
off the reigns of Kingdom, immersed in his Bhakti towards Lord Vishnu. His devotion
was so intense, that he worshipped the devotees also as forms of Lord Vishnu. He used to
get into the state of divine ecstasy often, and he recorded his spiritual visions and deep realizations in devotional
songs. He is said to have composed the Mukundamala stothra, when he was sitting in the place of
Kulasekhara Alvar mandap, inside Sri Ananta Padmanabhaswamy temple, Trivandrum, Kerala.
The poem asks Mukunda (another name for Lord Krishna) to give the unworthy soul freedom from Samsara.
It describes the misery of the soul, trapped in this world, and exhorts that Lord Krishna is the only means of
Salvation. Composed in elegant Sanskrit, Mukundamala is a simple expression of Kulasekhara
Alvar’s devotion to Lord Krishna and his eagerness to share his divine experiences. It does not
contain much abstruse philosophical conundrums. Devotees generally start reciting Mukundamala, after
saluting Kulasekhara Alvar, in gratitude for his guiding Mukundamala stothra.

life-saving mudra
Recent days, I have been receiving news from relatives, near and dear, of many cases being hospitalized,
due to heart attack. The bothering issue is that all were between the ages of 45 to 55, prime time of ones’s
life, when your presence in the family is of utmost importance, with many important duties, yet unfinished.
For most of these cases, I had already suggested the Life-energy increasing Mudra, that is, the Praana
Mudra or the Mudra for the heart. But, I have observed, that people tend to take these suggestions quite
lightly. Rather, they are comfortable with other remedies, such as Name change, Signature change or much
easier is wearing gemstones. They think that once you wear the gemstones, it will do magic. It is not so.
Unless the Self changes from inside, by lifestyle modification, with good habits, healthy diets, good deeds,
the external changes like wearing lucky gemstones, using lucky colours may not work so easily.
These days, people find it difficult to sit calmly in one place and do Mudras.
But if you develop this habit, over the span of years, you will find amazing changes happening within you and
outside you. Yes…that’s true!

The COVID-19 Pandemic had spread worldwide, after the Annular Solar Eclipse of 26 th of December
2019, when majority of planets, including luminaries, were in the ‘Moola’ Nakshatra of Ketu. During this
Pandemic, we have observed that whenever many planets come into the association with Rahu and/or
Ketu, or they are transiting in their Nakshatra’s (Aswini, Makha, Moola, Arudra, Swati and Satabhisha),
then a new variant of this virus emerges and creates troubles in some parts of the world especially after an
eclipse. Recently at the time of Total Lunar eclipse of 8 November 2022, the Sun, Moon, Mercury and
Venus were in the Rahu-Ketu axis. Immediately after this eclipse, a new sub-variant of Omicron named as
BF.7 brought a massive surge in COVID-19 cases in China.
After the Sun’s entry into Sagittarius in Moola Nakshatra on the 16 th of December 2022, there was a
situation of panic among many countries, regarding the possible consequences of the spread of the BF.7
variant of COVID. In many countries of the world, including India, governments are considering to implement
‘COVID Protocols’ like making compulsory of wearing face masks at public places etc. However, as per
our humble astrological observations, the worst period of COVID-19 Pandemic has already been
over, as transiting Rahu has left Gemini and also Taurus signs, which signify throat and mouth
respectively of the ‘Kaal Purush’ i.e. Natural Zodiac. Now, COVID-19’s new variants would not
create much havocs in the year 2023, although at the time of Solar eclipse of 20 th of April and
Penumbral Lunar eclipse of 5/6 May, many planets are in the dreaded Rahu-Ketu axis only.
Total Solar Eclipse At the time of Total Solar eclipse of 20 April 2023,
Invisible in India the luminaries (Sun and Moon) would be in Aswini
Nakshatra of Ketu, along with planets Rahu and
Mercury transiting there. Saturn would be in
Satabhisha Nakshatra, which is the asterism of Rahu.
Apart from this, Mars would be in Arudra, and Ketu
would be in Swati both in the Nakshatra of Rahu.
So, as many as 6 planets would be in the Nakshatras
of Rahu and Ketu, at the time of Total Solar eclipse
of 20th of April 2023. Thus, possibility of a new

Fourth house of Kaalpurush represents the chest of Lord Vishnu, where Lakshmi resides, also fourth house
is Kendra sthan, which represents mother’s womb where child is nourished.
Sun represents Lord Vishnu. Venus represents Goddess Lakshmi. Moon represents Mother, motherland
and home. Moon is the Karaka planet of the 4th house.
Sun (Lord Vishnu) and Venus (Lakshmi) conjunction in the fourth house may give separation from spouse or
dispute in property or create separation from the mother, due to past life curse of spouse.
Mythological Story of Tirupati Balaji
Once Rishi Bhrigu wanted to check, who is the most powerful God in Trinity; so he went to the adobe of
Lord Vishnu and he noticed that he was sleeping and oblivious of arrival of Sage Bhrigu. He became
furious and kicked Lord Vishnu on His chest, right on His heart. Even then, Vishnu asked Bhrigu whether his
tender foot got hurt. However, Lakshmi did not like this, left Vaikunth and came to Earth. She felt Bhrigu
had insulted her indirectly, by hitting Vishnu on His chest, where Lakshmi lives.
Lord Vishnu left Vaikunth and wandered on Earth in search of Mata Lakshmi; but he was not able to find
Mata Lakshmi. So both of them reincarnated … Vishnu as Srinivas, and Goddess Lakshmi as Padmavati,
who was the daughter of the King Akasha Raja.
When Srinivas wanted to marry Padmavati, her father refused saying he did not have money. Srinivas
therefore had no option, but to take loan from Kubera, the lord of wealth. Srinivas told Kubera that he
would repay all his debts at the end of the Kaliyug.

This case belongs to identical twin brothers, born with 3 minutes of birth-time difference on 22 June 2006 at
07.56 pm and 07:59 pm in Dhone, Kurnool Dist, Andhra Pradesh, India. Both the twins are of same fair
complexion, soft in behaviour and good at education. At the time of analysis (10 Dec. 2022), let us check
the Ascendant sub lord is “Saturn” of both. Now, the modern researchers of KP Astrology have invented
a new technique i.e., If the sub lords are same, then we should forward with the sub-sub lord of the Cusps.
Both the sub-sub lords are not same.
Let us check the Ascendant sub-sub lord of the chart A is Mars. Mars (1-5,10) is in the star and sub of
Mercury (12-3,12). Mars is untenanted and the CSL of 9. Mars gives aspects of 4th to Jupiter (4-6,9) in this
Natal chart. Jupiter’s 9th aspects to Sun (12-2) are visible in this birth chart. So, 1st CSL Mars signifies 1-
2-3-4-5-6-9-10-12.
Ascendant sub-sub lord of the chart B is Jupiter. Jupiter (4-6,9) is in the star of Rahu (9) and in the sub of
Venus (10-4,11). Jupiter’s 9th aspects to Sun (12-2) are visible in this birth chart. Mars (1-5,10) gives
aspects of 4th to Jupiter in this chart. So, 1st CSL Jupiter signifies 1-2-4-5-6-9-10-11-12.
Comparatively the two persons are slim and handsome, due to signification of 1-5 with Moon connection.
The duo’s health of 1-5-9 seems with low resistance, sick and thin of 4-6-12 as their mother, and good
height 1-9 of their father. Good-natured persons with the connection of Jupiter and signification of 1-5-9.
The two persons liked each other and are friendly, with the signification of A’s 3-1(3 is brother and 3rd to 11
is 1st) B’s 11-9 (11 is younger brother and 11th to 11 is 9th). These guys liked and respected their parents, and
higher education is indicated due to signification of 4-6-9.
Let us study the higher education of chart A. 9th Cuspal Sub Lord of chart A is Mars, signifying good
prospects in Education, competitive examinations, because of 4-6-9. Name: A boy has studied MPC in
Intermediate, due to Mercury, Mars combination. Mars and Mercury give Engineering/Building and
Construction field/Administrative Dept in Engineering/ etc.,
Education of Name: B. 9th Cuspal Sub Lord Rahu (9) is in the star of Saturn (1-7,8) and in the sub of
Mercury (12-3,12). Rahu is posited in Pisces sign and represents Jupiter (4-6,9). Jupiter gives aspects of 9 th
to Sun (12-2), and aspected by Mars (1-5,10). Mars’ stars has no planets and the CSL of 9. Saturn gives
aspects of 10th to Moon (10-1), which is visible in this chart. Moon is untenanted and CSL of 12. So, Rahu
is signifying 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-12. So, Mars signifies good prospects in Education, competitive
examinations, because of 4-6-9. Name: B boy has studied MPC in Intermediate, due to Mercury, Mars
combination. Mars and Mercury give Engineering/Building and Construction field/Administrative Dept Head
in Engineering/ etc., But here Rahu is additional advantage for Name:B native, to go abroad for the job and
also-change in branch of study is indicated. Both are eligible for job in abroad, with signification 3-9-12 and
6-10.

(12-7,8) and in the sub of Moon (10-1). Venus’ stars has no planets and CSL of 1-5-8-11. Saturn gives 3 rd
aspects to Jupiter (2-6,9) and Ketu (3). Ketu is posited in Virgo sign and represents Mercury (12-3,12).

Major S.V. Sampath, Hyderabad
My granddaughter is 25 years old, and her marriage has not fructified till date. My question is “Is
marriage destined for her? and if so, when is she likely to get married?
Horary Number: 5
The Horary Number selected locates the lagna to rise in the sign Aries. The Horary Moon, which is in its
untenanted status, is positioned in house 3 (which happens to be the 7th house for the grand child,
represented by the house 9 in the Horary) and it indicates the Query , which connects to the house of
marriage for the grand child of the querent.
The connection to Saturn(which occupies the 11th bhaava of the Horary chart), of the Horary Moon at its
sub-portion, reveals the inordinate delay that would be met with in the process, requiring repeated effort.
The relevant cuspal point gets controlled by the node Ketu, which represents not only Venus, the kaaraka
graha for marriage with signification for 11, thus promising the event, but Mars as well, represented by the
other node Rahu having signification for the house of romance, that can be a causative factor for the delay as
a matter of involvement.
The promised expected event can take place after mid-December of 2026.

Professor of Vocal Physiology became an Inventor
Alexander Graham Bell By S.Venkatesh
Mindset decides our goals! Virtue of excellent mindset is important to achieve great success. Journey to success in
research-studies requires dedication and perseverance. Research-works are something beyond academic education.
Little positive acts or change in daily routine in life would bring success. Scientist, Inventors, Doctors, sportsmen
follow these, with sincerity and dedication to achieve their set goal.
Astro-pointers : Professor and Inventors
Third, Fifth and Ninth houses are the primary houses for the career of professor; fifth house signifies one’s
attitude; ninth house represents higher education and Doctoral studies; Prime house of third denotes communication
skills, stamina and written works.
Eighth is a principal house of Research-work and Inventions.
Mercury and Rahu are the key planets of Research-work and Inventions
Interlinks of Mercury and Jupiter to the eighth house or their conjunction with directional strength in any house
will elevate one to great heights in their research- work and education.
Influence of Mars to the eighth house or its lord or to the Mercury indicates research-work in engineering subjects.
Inter-connection of Moon to the 8th lord or 8th house with benefic aspect would support one to get success in
research.
Interlinks of Rahu and 9th lord to the 12th house or 12th lord in anyway, enhance chances for the native to pursue
their research in foreign-land
Case-study: Alexander Graham Bell, the Professor and Inventor of Telephone
Ascendant is Aquarius, its lord Saturn is well-posited in its Moolatrikona sign Aquarius,
with 7th lord Sun; Mars, third cum 10th lord in the 11th house empowered Alexander Graham
Bell to be so proficient in the teaching profession, as Professor of Vocal physiology at the
University of Boston.
Mercury, the 5th cum 8th lord
in the 2nd house indicates
Bell’s experimental and
research-works started from
childhood.
Moon, the 6th lord with Rahu
in 8th house , with aspect of Jupiter, has led him to

Legacy and Honours: Venus, the Yogakaraka in its (“The Times of Astrology”)
exaltation sign in Pisces, has supported Graham Bell
to receive the numerous Honorary degrees from College and University, apart from awards and Medals.
Dasamsa: Libra ascendant; third house signifying communication skills and valour / efforts is occupied by planet
Mercury (denoting intelligence and scientific learning) . Influence of Saturn- Moon -Jupiter combination on
Mercury in the 3rd house from 9th house indicates that Graham Bell’s Profession is associated with teaching of
elocution (elocution refers to the skill of speaking clearly and pronouncing words distinctly )
Mars, the 2nd lord in the 10th house ,enabled Graham Bell to be highly proficient at the age of sixteen from the
position of ‘pupil-teacher’ of elocution and music, then to become Professor of Vocal physiology and elocution
at the Boston University.

Nakshatra literally means a heavenly body. In Vedic Astrology, it is a two-dimensional space in the Zodiac.
There are several stars in the three-dimensional space of the Universe. Seen on the two-dimension screen of
the sky, the combination of these luminous bodies, stars, often represents a pattern, in some areas, in a
Human or Animal form.
The Moon moves through the 360 degree-Zodiac in about 27 days. Dividing the 360 degrees, we get
13degree 20 minutes. This is the space of a Nakshatra. Just as there are planetary lords for the 12 Solar
signs, Sages have given planetary lords for the 27 Nakshatras as well. They have also named one fourth part
of a Nakshatra equal to 3 degree 20 minutes as a Pada. Each Pada represents a solar sign. The planet in a
particular Pada Sign is in that sign in the Navamsa.

System JAYA: Consider the Birth chart as the Tree, the Nakshatras as the Roots and the Navamsa as the
Fruits. The birth chart establishes the nature of the Tree, whether it is a sweet Mango tree or an acidic
Orange tree or a more unpalatable tree like a Kala Sarpa Dosha or Baalarishta chart. A Tree, for living,
needs to get its nourishment from the soil through the roots. The Nakshatras in which the planets are placed
form the Roots for the Tree. These Nakshatras supply the nourishment to the planets to be effective, When
the Tree gets the proper nourishment, it bears the Fruits and the nature of these fruits can be seen in the
Navamsa.
Just as Solar signs have qualities, Nakshatras also have qualities. Unlike the general qualities of the
Solar signs, Maharishis have given 10 specific qualities for Nakshatras. Each Nakshatra has a couple of
these qualities. This emphasizes the importance of their use in reading charts. The ten qualities are: 1. Fixed,
2. Movable, 3. Aggressive, 4. Ordinary, 5. Dynamic, 6. Friendly, 7. Cruel, 8. Looking up, 9. Looking
down, 10. Looking front. I hasten to add that a person born with Moon in a Nakshatra need not have any
of these qualities. The sages have given separately description of persons whose Moon is situated in a
particular Nakshatra, which is relevant and unconnected with the above ten qualities.

Law of Karma
One day, while Buddha was doing meditation, a young man visited him. He looked upset. Buddha asked
him the reason.
The young man said that his father died a few months back. He could not get out of the sorrow. But he
wants to perform the best after-life rituals for his father. So that his father’s soul would go to heaven,
irrespective of what his father has done in his life, either good or bad.
So I came to you with the request, “Please do the after-life rituals for my father, so that his soul
will gain entry to heaven and resides there.”
Buddha said, “Okay, bring two earthen pots, some pebbles, and butter to fill the pots.”
The young man thought that the items were meant for the last rituals. He went to the market and
bought them.
Buddha said, “Fill one pot with pebbles and one pot with Butter and seal them. And then
go and drop both the pots at the nearby pond”.
The young man did so, and both the pots sank to the bottom.
Then Buddha said, “Now break them open with a stick!”.
The young man struck hard and broke the pots. Butter from one of the pots started
floating in the pond, while the pebbles from the second pot settled at the bottom.
Then Buddha said, “Well, I have done this much, Now call all your priests and ask them to pray for butter to sink and pebbles to float
on the surface.”
The young man was shocked and asked, “How is it possible?.
The pebbles are heavier than water and will stay only on the bottom. Butter is lighter than water and will only float. So, doing the opposite
is against the natural law”.
Buddha said, “Young man, you understand the natural law pretty well, but you forget that it applies to everyone. In all his life, if your
father performed wrong actions that were heavy like pebbles, he is bound to go down, and no one will pick him up. If he had performed
right actions that were light like butter, he should go up, and no one can push him down”.
Youngman now understood the natural law. He fell on Buddha’s feet and thanked him for teaching him the lesson.
Moral of the story: The Law of Nature clearly defines us that in life, whatever we do, either good or bad, we are going to get it back,
and it is the Law of Karma.
No external power can change it. While we live, we must perform only good things in our day-to-day life.
What you sow, so will you reap!!

SENSE OF VALUE
I woke up today, having dreamt early morning at 4 AM. I was in the biggest DLF Mall of India looking to
buy a pair of socks and a neck tie.
As I walked in, I noticed a sweater with a price tag of RS 9000. Next to the sweater were a pair of Jeans
for Rs.10000.The socks were Rs.8000! And Tie for estonishing 16,000 /-
I went looking for a Salesperson and found one in the watch Department. He was showing a man a Rs.
225/- Rolex watch. I looked in the glass case and there was a 4 carat diamond ring also on sales for
Rs.95/-Shocked, I asked the Salesperson “How could a Rolex watch sell for Rs.225/- ?, and a cheap pair
of socks sell for Rs. 8000/-”?
He said “Someone slid into the store last night and changed the price tag on everything”.
“Everyone is confused, people are acting like they have lost their sense of value”. “They are willing to pay
lots of money for things of little value, and very little money for things of great value”
“Its like they don’t know what is really valuable and what’s not. I hope that we get the price tags back-on
right soon, I really pity, seeing people paying way too much for things of little value.”
I woke up startled & confused and thinking since then...
Maybe our life is like this dream. Maybe someone slid into our lives, and the changed the price on
everything. Maybe they marked up the value of competition, position, titles, fame, promotion, show-
off, money and power!..And put a huge discount on the value of Happiness, Family, Relationships,
Peace of mind, Contentment, Love, Knowledge, Kindness, Friendships..
Maybe We are all living this dream...I hope...... we wake up, well in time

supergiant star of spectral type FB8 lab,
appearing yellowish-white in colour. This
star has evolved away from the main-

supernova. Sadr was formed at around
12 million years ago from an inter-stellar
medium of gas and dust. Gravity pulled
the swirling gas and dust together, until
it reached the critical temperature, giving

author is very much the life of the book, providing references
from contemporary texts.
The book is divided into 2 Kandas. The first Kanda consist of
8 Kandas, describing how to verify the exact time of a birth, predicting
the number of attendants and other details inside as well as the outside
of the Delivery-room, Friendship and enmity among the planets,

Nature of intelligent and good astrologers etc.
A few rare tips given here to aid accuracy in prediction:
Rahu and Ketu become auspicious, when they occupy a Trikona or Kendra, or associated with
the lord of that particular Kona or Kendra. They prove also beneficial, when they conjoin
with the lords of any Kendra or Kona house.
When a planet is retrograde, its strength is similar to that when it is in exaltation. If a planet be
retrograde in its exaltation house, it gets only neecha-bala.
Influence / relationship between the following three pairs of planets decides the native’s status,
prosperity, etc.
(i) lord of 9th and 10th houses reckoned from the Lagna.
(ii) lords of 9th and 10th, counted from the 9th house from the Lagna.
(iii) lords of 9th and 10th, counted from the 10th house from Lagna.
85 case-studies belonging to people of various ranks and ages are analysed exhaustively to educate
the reader. Very useful remarks by the author, concerning the various aspects of life have been
given in appropriate places, while explaining the slokas. This is an essential book for the student
