What is Kanwar Yatra?

Kanvar Yatra, also known as Kanwar Mela, is a holy fair that starts in the sacred month of Shravana (Savan). Devotees of Lord Shiva travel barefoot to Har ki Pauri in Haridwar, Gangotri in Uttarakhand, and various other places to obtain the holy water of the sacred river Ganga, and offer it to Lord Shiva. The devotees who participate in this annual pilgrimage (Kanwar Mela) are known as Kanwariyas.

The legend behind Kanvar Mela dates back to the day when the churning of the ocean (Samudra Manthan) was taking place. Along with several other things, a deadly poison was also obtained as a product. To save the world from the poison, Mahadeva inhaled all of it and as a result, his throat turned blue.

This is the reason why he is also known by the name Neelkanth. It is believed that Ravana, being a devout follower of Lord Shiva, brought Gangajal with the help of a Kanvar (a single pole at the ends of which loads are fastened), and poured it over Shiva Lingam. This ultimately set Lord Shiva free of the negativity of the poison he had inhaled.

It is believed that anyone who observes the fast with full faith and devotion is blessed by Mahadeva himself.

Legend behind Sawan

Like every festival of the Hindu religion, there is a story behind Sawan Vrat also. It is believed that once upon a time there lived a man who was very rich and lived a life of luxury. He had all sorts of comforts, but the absence of a child was the only reason for sadness and stress in his life. The man and his wife were devotees of Lord Shiva and used to fast on Mondays to please Lord Shiva. Observing their unfaltering devotion, Goddess Parvati insisted Mahadeva to bless them with a child. As a result, they were finally able to have a healthy son. The son was named Amar, but along with his birth came the prophesy that the child would die at the age of 12 years.

As the child grew up, he was sent to Kashi for his education. He was accompanied by his maternal uncle and was told by his parents to perform Yagya and charity wherever he goes. On the way, they came across the wedding ceremony of a princess whose groom-to-be was half-sighted. The family of the groom was afraid that the secret of their son’s half blindness may be discovered. They requested Amar to take the place of the groom, to which he agreed. He got married to the princess but did not want to betray her. He chose to write the truth on the wedding stole (chunri) of his bride. When the bride read his message, she waited for her original husband and did not leave her parent’s house. Amar continued his journey and left for Kashi.

During all this time, Amar adhered to the words of his parents and performed religious deeds. The day he turned 12, he sat in a Shiva temple and continued offering Bel patra (Bilva leaves) to Lord Shiva. When Lord Yama came to take away the life of the boy, Lord Shiva chose to bless the child with the boon of a long life, and as a result, Amar did not die and Yamaraj returned empty-handed. Amar, blessed by Mahadeva himself, returned home with his bride and the unshakeable dedication of their family for Mahadeva proved that Lord Shiva is always there for his true devotees to help them out and bestow upon them his divine blessings.

Astrological Significance

It is believed that with the beginning of Sawan, the Sun enters the zodiac sign Leo, which has different impacts on all 12 Moon Signs. In coming posts we will give you details on this transit also.

Hindu Mythology about Planet Mercury

Planet Mercury plays a prominent role in Vedic Astrology. It represents our ability to communicate. Mercury is a messenger and acts like a prince for celestial cabinet. It delivers our thoughts to others. Mercury is a dualistic planet. It is very close to the planet Sun.

Its orbit lies in between the Sun and our mother planet Earth. Mercury and our mother planet Earth both rotate around Sun with different speeds. Mercury rotates inside the circular path traced by the Earth. It cannot be distinguished easily by the naked eyes. It revolves around the Sun in 88 days whereas Earth revolves around the Sun in approximately 365 days. Mercury is considered the significator of intellect, logic, strength, mathematics, research, statistics and traveling. Generally, the retrograde of a planet is not considered auspicious, but it is not necessary that every planet undergoing this phenomenon would always offer inauspicious results. Sometimes, it can prove to be highly beneficial.

As per Hindu mythology, there is an enmity between Moon and Mercury. However, it is not the complete truth. The planet Moon does not show any enmity with Mercury, while Mercury maintains enmity with Moon.

Mercury is also known as “Budh” in Vedic Astrology.

Mercury is the greatest among all as it bestows person with intelligence and wealth. It proves to be the source of positive thoughts in the minds of natives. It is considered as the avatar of Vishnu. It is worshiped on Wednesday. It brings benefits and happiness in the life of a person, removes obstacles, helps one to get a progeny, profession of fertile lands, etc. It rules over “Mithuna” and “Kanya” rashi. It stays approximately one month in each rashi like the Sun.

In Western Astrology, it was known as Thoth or Hermes in olden days. It is the son of Jupiter and Maia, the daughter of Atlas. He is the friend of Apollo as it is nearest to the Sun. Mercury is the inventor of Lyre, God of Commerce. It always exhibits duality and lack of concentration within a native.

In Hindu Scriptures, Mercury represents God Kesava, Narayana, Madhava etc. He represents Dwaitham. It stands for plurality whereas Saturn denotes singularity.

Nature of Planet Mercury

Mercury is a variable, convertible, feminine, effeminate, neutral, dualistic and vacillating planet. Mercury doesn’t act independently. It will always behave according to the rashi and house it sits in and will have PAC connections with. It is convertible because it will behave like a benefic or favorable planet for your horoscope if it is associated with the benefic factors. On the other hand, if it is gaining the aspects and conjunctions of malefics, it would become malefic for your horoscope. Its nature is Vata or Airy. Its direction is North. It gets exalted in Virgo at 15th degree and debilitated in Pisces at 15th degree.

What does Mercury signify in Vedic Astrology?

Mercury represents the intelligence and communicative ability in the native’s birth chart. It rules over third house and sixth house in Kaal Purush Kundali in Vedic Astrology and is the significator of fourth house and tenth house. Fourth house is house of happiness and Mercury does much better holding this position in horoscope. Likewise, Tenth House is house of profession and career, and again, Mercury does well in this house as it offers good communication skills that help the native set up his/her business. You can be a good counsellor also in such a case.

Let’s understand below what it signifies:

• Body Parts & Diseases: It is a karak planet of chest, nervous system, skin, nose, navel, gall bladder, lungs, nerves, tongue, arms, face and hair. If it is afflicted by the malefics, it gives problems related to chests and muscles. The native may also suffer from typhoid, madness, seizure, paralysis, ulcers, dizziness, cholera etc.
• Physical appearance: People born under the strong influence of Mercury will be tall with well formed body. They will never be stout. They will be of average height. Hands will be long and slender. The hair will be dark and eyes will be expressive. Their eyebrows will be curved with enough hair. Voice will be thin and shrill. They will walk quickly. Just like Martians, these people will appear younger than their usual age.

Characteristics of Planet Mercury

If Mercury is placed positively in your birth chart, then it will bestow you with good health, wealth and speech. It will be very beneficial for you. It will provide you good oral and writing communication skills, knowledge and intelligence. You will be able to handle more than one task at a single point of time. Let’s see below how Mercury confers good, medium and bad results:

• Strong Mercury:It means placement of Mercury in favorable sign or exaltation sign, which confers good results and strong speech to communicate with others. You would have good merchant attributes inherent within you and will be impressive in conveying messages. Mercury is the planet which makes the native intelligent, ingenious and analytical. It gives retentive power and reproductive ability. “Mercury is the messenger of God.”
• Beneficial Mercury:A beneficial Mercury will give you a subtle and political brain and intellect. It will make you an excellent disputant and a logician with great learning ability. It will make you sharp and witty. You would be able to learn almost anything without a teacher and you’d also be ambitious to know every science.
• Afflicted Mercury:Afflicted Mercury will not be good as one will be frantic. Native will be clever, cunning and mischievous; and would anonymously write petitions. He/She will always work against whoever he/she doesn’t like. He/She may be a gambler, liar, cheater, forgetful, overly proud, self-centered and moody.

शुक्र ग्रह को भौतिक सुखों का कारक माना गया है। कुंडली में शुक्र के शुभ प्रभाव से वाहन, घर, महंगे वस्त्र, आभूषण जैसे तमाम सांसारिक सुखों की प्राप्ति होती है। शुक्र को कला, सौंदर्य और वैवाहिक सुख का कारक भी माना गया है, इसलिए ग्लैमर की दुनिया से जुड़े व्यक्तियों पर इसका गहरा प्रभाव होता है।

वहीं शुक्र की कृपा से दाम्पत्य जीवन में मधुरता आती है। शुक्र ग्रह को वृषभ और तुला राशि का स्वामित्व प्राप्त है। यह मीन राशि में उच्च भाव में होता है और कन्या राशि में नीच भाव में रहता है।

शुक्र ग्रह 5 जुलाई 2018, गुरुवार को 02:38 बजे सिंह राशि में गोचर करेगा और 1 अगस्त 2018, बुधवार 12:41 बजे तक इसी राशि में स्थित रहेगा।

आईये जानते हैं सभी 12 चंद्र राशियों पर शुक्र के गोचर का होने वाला आम / जनरल असर।

मीन

आपकी राशि के छठे भाव से शुक्र गोचर करेगा। इस दौरान आप ज्यादा ऊर्जावान महसूस करेंगे। खेलकूद या प्रतियोगी परिक्षाओं में सफलता मिलने के योग हैं। अपनी किसी हॉबी या कलात्मक गुण के जरिए कुछ लाभ उठा सकते हैं। ख़र्चें बढ़ने के आसार हैं। विपरीत लिंग के जातकों के साथ टकराव हो सकते हैं।

किसी पुरानी बीमारी या फिर अन्य किसी कारण से सेहत बिगड़ सकती है। प्रियजन से अलगाव की संभावना है। भौतिक सुख-सुविधाओं का लाभ उठाने के लिए आपके पार्टनर काफी ख़र्चा कर सकते हैं। भाई-बहनों को भी इस समय का पूर्ण लाभ मिलेगा।

उपायः आटे की लोई व गुड़ गाय को खिलाएं।

गाये की सेवा सभी राशि के लोग कर सकते हैं
