Vagus Nerve - the central nerve system is one of the most potent healing systems known to Man , provided we know how to work with it and activate its potential. And singing, chanting , smiling deep breathing and of course aromatherapeutic Essential oils can all work wonders in immunity boosts which is directly under the purview of the vagus nerve. So don’t ignore - the idea of “satsang” is “good true company” which will bust all the cortisol levels…cortisol’s direct impact on bringing us “down” . Immunity is directly under concern for Venus and to an extent the moon and even Mercury.. hence activities of those mentioned above will indeed help in lowering cortisols and strengthening immunity… after all there is only so much yogurt one can consume for Venus activation! What of people who have lactose intolerance ? Hence consuming yogurt is not quite cutting it… our job as Jyotishis is to always search for what gets immunity to be strong to fight back any parasitic/bacterial attacks…

The power of and cannot be overstated! This is ☝️ f the best “Soul” cleansing and consciousness building and almost a meditation in itself ..especially if it comes from a “proper” lineage of guru parampara . Devaraha Ashram is simply another level of energy - it is said , A king , fire, a yogi and water are always busy - doing their own work and consequently doing their karma. And so they cannot leave what they r “doing” as that is their karma - and their highest learning . And so they cannot leave their “work” else they will be unhappy. If the king is unhappy all else wont be happy… hence they have the “karma yoga “ which is the highest form of learning, penance and leading to salvation and realisation of Brahman.

Happy Full Moon Śarad Pūrṇimā which occurs in the Lunar month of ‘Aswin’ occurs on 6th Oct 2025. This Full Moon is in the Fixed Star of Revati, Vedic devata is Pushan, lord of Nourishment, plenty and success.
From the Vedic Wisdom of the Fixed Stars Nakṣatras for week of October 6th 2025. It falls under the Sidereal Indian zodiac of Indian zodiac: 16°40’–30° Meena
Western zodiac: 10°26’–23°46 Aries;
The Vedic Deity is Pūṣan derived from Sanskrit pūṣyati, means “to cause to thrive” hence very deep association with nourishment and plenty. It is also responsible for marriages, journeys, roads, and the feeding of cattle. He was a psychopomp as well as Atma Soul code, conducting souls to the other worlds. He protected travellers from bandits, spirits and wild beasts, and protected men from being destroyed from the demons and the asuras.
If you have planets in Revati, which is the birth star of Shani Saturn and it is indeed transiting in Pisces and if you have Moon here or even Mercury or Atmakaraka, next few years are super challenging but in a good way! As in it will act as a ‘hoover’ to clear out blocks , which we find very uncomfortable as we are then faced with ourselves! And so this is instrumental time in taking stock and generating much more inner resilience to overcome fears and blocks towards things that do not work.
You have to break a few eggs to make an omelette! Revatī is the star of Shani Saturn and carries Mars karma. Houses on the 4th and 11th carry heavy karmic weight on you and these two arenas you will be challenged. Property matters may come to the fore and you may be forced to give up some things over this period.
This is a great time today to listen to Vishnu Saharara Vishnu Sahasranama is a Sanskrit hymn containing a list of the 1,000 names of Vishnu, or chanting of the Lalita, names of the Goddess.Exposing to Moonlight with flowers or Lotus seeds with chanting the names of the above mentioned will alleviate your situation. We had a very active weekend at Leeds for the Leeds Vedic Conference with Paul Barker .larsen Larsen Gendarz with a very engaging audience.

Happy pournima and one of the longest eclipses of the year . Tighten your belts - as rhis blood 🩸 moon is going to see some major interruptions, disruptions in political people all round the world. More water crisis - after all it’s kumbha , where the balance of water is not quite there. And the Rudra deity for is fully active . This is not going to be easy and mental health , trauma is on the cards.. Shatabhishaj is about medicine and shat 100 physicians - so expect a turbulence enough of needing those… stay with the self reflection and Dhyana and hopefully we will overcome various issues . We begin the pitri paksha and ironically for the first time in decades that pitri paksha the fortnight of the ancestors is sandwiched between the two powerful eclipses. Hence be even more aware that connecting to the ancestral lineage by prayer , feeding the crows will go a long long way . Donate donate Donate. Rice, Sugar , milk whatever you can to the underprivileged . Have a grand few weeks and have the faith… om namo bhagavate nrsimhaya

Sri rustam Homam and abhishekham is a blessing over The month of Shravana as one of the most auscpicious month of Lord Shiva . Śravaṇa (श्रवण) refers to the “ears”, according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 2), as written by Varāhamihira author of ancient Indian astronomy (Jyotiṣa). As Shravan is also one of the star constellations which is associated with the star of listening , hence it has come to be associated with Listening represents one of the nine-fold (navadhā) devotion (bhakti), as explained in the Śivapurāṇa 2.2.23.—Śravaṇa (‘listening’) by listening is meant the imbibing of stories that bestow worldly pleasures and salvation, with great devotion, in steady posture”. Thus Mondays are favoured bars of Lord Shiva as the Chandra 🌒 moon is indeed on his head . This indicating that only through listening to the sastras and stories can we then move along to Manama stage which is the power of thought and pondering on what has been heard, whether it is a philosophy, story or a principle. And eventually Nidhidhyasana where the real contemplation of the truths are verified and inquired into. These are the core three are the three aids of the mind that in course of time, enable the mind to attain the Aparoksainana of the Lord. These are the fundamental pillars of Vedanta or for that matter acquiring any knowledge or any thing based in truth. Naturally the Shravana month is one of the most vital moths in the year…
