I have often seen in my humble experience that the major problems in life occur due to not following the basics, the simple principle of holistic life!!
I have compiled a list of important points that are very potent astrological remedies and should be practised by everybody no matter what.
It will be helpful to improve the quality of life by leaps and bounds and align oneself to dive spiritually along with a perfect balance of material aspects as well.
List of Important Check Points Points:
- At the place of work or sleep, there should be no beam or obstruction on the wall overhead.
- A statue of a calf drinking mother cow's milk can be placed in the North-East corner of the house. This provides peace and nourishment to the mind as well as the whole environment of the home.
- Just opposite the statue of calf and cow, in the South-West corner of the home, one should place their locker or purse or wallet. It should be the ideal storage spot for money, ATM Cards etc. Attention should be given that the door of the locker should open in North-East direction, facing the cow and baby calf as mentioned earlier. This way your locker shall never get empty and laxmi (money) will keep on increasing.
-
It's an old saying, "We are what we eat." Food is the nourishing factor and plays a very important role in our physical as well as mental health. One should try to consume freshly cooked food (food eaten within 3 hours of being cooked is in the mode of goodness) and avoid food that is stale or expired.
One should also try to have food which is cooked by themselves or a member of the family who have a nice, nourishing vibe. This way the food will carry the caring consciousness of the preparer that will further be transferred to the one who's eating.
One should also offer the food to Lord Krishna before eating. This will make the food free from any sin and will help in the overall elevation of health.
The subject has been covered in intricate detail here. - After waking up, one must immediately tidy their bed and fold the blankets / covers. This strengthens Saturn and the clean space gives clarity in thoughts.
- The home should have white / cream or light-coloured paint for a better vibe. The home should never be cluttered.
-
In many households, right at the entry of their house, one can find a very cluttered and dirty stack of footwear overloaded with dust. This is to be avoided at all costs. One should keep their footwear in a clean and organized manner in one's almirah or a shoe rack which is inside the house and not at the entry of their home.
One should also not place the footwear under the bed or in the kitchen. - Follow 4 regulative principles irrespective of no matter what.
- If in your household you face regular arguments or fights on trivial issues which are mostly avoidable, then you need to check where sharp objects like scissors and knives are kept outside, seen by naked eyes. These should be kept hidden in drawers or cabinets and never left exposed.
- The broom is an expression of Laxmi Devi. One should treat the broom with respect and not step over it or throw it on the floor. The broom should be kept hidden and in a lying manner.
- The king of all remedies is the maintenance of brahmacharya (celibacy)! The importance of brahmacharya is repeatedly mentioned in Shastras. As stated in Bhagavad Gita (7.11), if one conceives for the propagation of a child who's a devotee of the Lord, then that too is considered brahmacharya. By following this, 95% of problems which were to occur can be avoided very easily. Kindly read more about celibacy here.
- One should not keep electronic items like a phone or laptop near their bed / sleeping area during sleep time. One must also avoid keeping water near to the bed.
- All the members of the family must try to learn to avoid fights and useless arguments which benefit no one. Instead, it only ruins the time and invites negative energy. Unless for dharmic cause where forced by destiny, one need not create a scene. The points must be communicated amongst one another in a normal respectful tone.
- How many times haven't we heard, "Laalach buri Bala hai" (Greed is evil). One must try to live a simple, honest and content life. Have good food and good sleep and honest work. One should not take unnecessary risks that can hamper one's future drastically in a gamble for a better life. One must learn to remain satisfied. One should try not to cheat or use any shortcuts for work or whatever service one has been given by destiny. One must endure diligence and follow the right process. If you have good health, decent money and a peaceful home, you are more rich than you think!
-
In Kaliyuga, Lord Krishna and Lord Balarama have come as Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Nityananda Prabhu respectively. If anyone without any qualification simply offers a Diya / Lamp to both of Them in the morning and evening, they will find destiny and all planets in their favour! As the most merciful Lordships, Lord Chaitanya Mahaprabhu and Lord Nityananda Prabhu get pleased very easily!
Bonus Tip: If you chant one round of Hare Krishna Mahamantra daily, no remedy can match that! - Out of all things auspicious, the vibration of shlokas from Bhagavad Gita is the most auspicious! It attracts all good fortune and destroys all negatives when recited and heard. If one is unfamiliar with Sanskrit, one may read the Original Edition of Bhagvad Gita As It Is by Srila Prabhupada.
- The supreme controller of stars is Krishna and to Krishna, Tulasi Devi is very dear! One may note that Krishna's own home, Sri Vrindavan dham is named after Tulasi Devi (also called Vrinda Devi). If one wants to please Krishna, one must with loving mood worship Tulasi Devi with water, lamp and flowers. One must pay obeisances (Dandwat Pranam) and circumambulate her. With each step, Tulasi Devi burns sins, even the sin of killing a Brahman!
- Our elders always taught us, "Wake up early and half of your life problems will be solved." Guess what? It turns out to be true! When one syncs their schedule in accordance with nature, maximum disturbances are cleared then and there as it strengthens the Ketu in chart which is food for the soul. The soul rejuvantes upon waking early and doing spiritual practice. Waking up early also strengthens the sun planet and one feels a sense of accomplishment and powerful vibe.
- On the south wall of the home, one should not hang any pictures of living family members or God. The South direction is the direction of Yamraj (Demi-God of Death) and thus doing so is not recommended. One should also avoid sleeping with legs towards the south direction or eating while facing southwards. It may lead to fights or sudden diseases/ health issues.
- The books are endless. Thus it's important to channelise to the right books. Srila Prabhupada carried the treasure of spiritual knowledge to the west way back in the sixties and has inspired a legacy all over the globe. If you feel inspired, I have compiled a list of must-read spiritual books for sincere seekers. You can download the free PDF of it all there. These foundational books are must-read that will help you in the deepest crisis of your life even if you don't take to spirituality seriously.
Also, our book 'Demystifying The Mystical Vrindavan' is a compilation of entire cheat codes of spiritual path condensed in a one-book format. It can be very helpful in shaping life in a beautiful direction. If Radharani inspires you, kindly check about it here.
Also, you can go through the 250+ important articles on this site about the inner aspects of devotional life. It can be very helpful throughout your entire life. - Phones have become such an integral part of our lives that people nowadays take their phones even to the washroom. When one pollutes their hygiene in this way, it attracts negative energy equivalent to damaging the Rahu in birth chart. Out of all the places in the home, the washroom holds the maximum negative energy. One must avoid this and be careful to maintain basic hygiene. It's recommended that after clearing the bowel, one must always bathe and change in fresh clothes.
- Cleanliness is next to Godliness. The washroom sink, floor mesh and pot must always remain clean. Many people feel stuck in their thoughts and get irritable when their washroom is in a mess. To invite fortune, cleanliness is a necessity. The dustbin of the house and kitchen should be emptied daily. Dirty dishes must be cleansed every night and not left overnight in the sink. The bottom line is one must not allow negative energy to store in their home!
- One who Insults their wife/ mother and daughter invites the destruction of their own destiny and luck. These three represent Venus and when one disregards them and treats them poorly without reason, one's Venus gets weakened. Venus is the planet of luxury and comfort. Although during times, if the daughter is creating a ruckus or at during an important issue when the wife and mother are not listening, one may scold them softly with words but NEVER hit them.
- Kirtan at all times. Kaliyuga has no good quality but one quality of Kaliyuga makes it stands out in comparison to the rest 3 Yugas. Kaliyuga which is characterised by chaos, suffering and moral decline, can still prove auspicious to us if near to us the Holy name of Lord Krishna is chanted / sung. For this, one may play the kirtan of Hare Krishna Mahamantra on their speakers at all times, one may keep the sound low but the vibration should be there. Check our Favourite Kirtan Links here.
Wishing you a fulfilling and holistic journey ahead! 💫
