Remedies through Mantras |
Mantras are sounds or vibrations whose effects are known. Mantras from a
Divine source were discovered by yogis and Vedic seers in deep meditations when
they had transcended into a higher state of consciousness known in the west as
the 4th state, and in India as turiya In turiya one experiences pure consciousness or what has become known in the
west as the unified field. Pure consciousness is present in every aspect of creation. There is no place, no
object or person where pure consciousness does not exist. Everything we perceive
with our senses is an expression of pure consciousness, including ourselves. When these yogis and Vedic seers returned to the normal waking state of
consciousness they chanted these mantras from memory, and discovered that each
mantra created a different effect, or produced a different result in their outer
lives! There are two general types of Mantras: Meditation and Japa. Meditation Mantras
are performed silently within, with eyes closed.
Generally they are bija mantras, root mantras, or seed mantra, and these are the
type of mantras used in the Biosound Method of Meditation |

Sun |
SUN:-
The Sun god has two arms, he is seated on the pedestal of lotus; both of his
hands are embellished with lotus flowers. There is a beautiful golden crown, on
his head and a garland of gems around his neck. His radiance is just like the
interior part of a lotus flower and he is mounted on the chariot pulled by seven
horses.
The Sun god is also known as ‘Savita’, which means - one who creates, ‘SAVITA
SARVASYA PRASAVITA’ (Nirukta -10/31). According to the Rigveda the Sun god
situated at the centre of the solar system is an inspirer of all, pervader of
the internal parts and an embodiment of almighty god. According to the
‘Markandeya Puran’ Sun is the embodiment of Brahma, the world originates from
the Sun and is established in it. The Sun is the appearance of all the matters
and elements and is the eternal almighty. This very God ‘Bhaskar’ creates
nurtures and annihilates the world respectively in the form of lord Brahma, Lord
Vishnu & Lord Shiva. Sun is the supreme deity amongst all the nine-planets.
When Brahma manifested himself by breaking the egg, then he pronounced ‘OM’.
This Omkar itself is the supreme soul and the very physique of Sun god. The four
Vedas emerged from all the four mouths of lord Brahma, which were glowing by
their own radiance. The powerful radiance emanating from the ‘Omkar’ covered the
radiance of the Vedas and ultimately all of them unified. This very Vedic
appearance of ‘Omkar’ is the sun god. This radiant sun was the first manifested
during the times of creation, hence it was called ‘Aditya’.
Once the demons, the titans and the monsters unitedly fought with the deities
and snatched their power and authority after defeating them. ‘Aditi’– the mother
of the deities did worship of sun god to get protection from this calamity.
Being pleased with her the sun god took incarnation as her son and established
the eternal path of the Veda after defeating the enemies of the deities. He is
called Aditya also for this reason.
The complexion of Sun god is red. His vehicle is a chariot. There is only one
wheel in his chariot which is called ‘Samvatsar’. The wheel of his chariot has
12 spokes, which symbolise the twelve months. The wheel has six circumferences,
which symbolize the six seasons, and three ‘Naves’ which is symbolise of the
three four-months.
The sages (rishi) and all the celestial supernatural beings like ‘Gandharva’, ‘Apsara’,
‘Nag’ yaksha and the deities’ move along with him doing his worship. The wheel,
power, a loop and a hook are the weapons of sun god. His great-phase (Mahadasha)

each of his three hands respectively and his fourth hand is raised in the
posture of giving boons and blessings.
Saturn is the son of Sun god and Chaya (Sanvarna). He is considered as a cruel
planet. The cruelty, which he possesses in his sight, is due to the curse he
received from his wife. The narration which has been mentioned in the Brahma
Puran goes as follows:
The deity Shani (Saturn) was a great devotee of lord Krishna right from his
childhood. He used to be immersed in the love for lord Krishna. After he grew
up, his father married him with the daughter of ‘Chitraratha’. His wife was a
chaste woman full of radiance.
One night she went to him after having a bath when her menstruation periods were
over, with a desire of having a son, but her husband Shani (Saturn) was immersed
in the meditation of lord Krishna,he was unconscious of his surroundings. She
became tired of waiting and she became angry . She cursed him that from today
onwards whoever gets seen by him would be destroyed. After he came out of his
meditative trance ‘Shani’ (Saturn) tried to make up with her by cajoling her.
His wife too felt sorry for her mistake but she was powerless in neutralizing
the ill effects of her curse. From then onwards Shani has been keeping his gaze
downwards because he did not want to cause harm to anybody.
According to the astrology if the Saturn pierces and passes through the
constellation of Rohini then it is considered to be very inauspicious and causes
draughts for twelve years making even the survival of the living beings
impossible. This combination was about to come during the time of Dasharatha. He
was cautioned by his astrologers against its consequences. To protect his
subject from ‘Shanis’ wrath Dasharatha went up in the constellation-zone. First
of all he made salutations to the deity ‘Shani’ but when he refused he fought
with him, using his most destructive weapon.
‘Shani’ became pleased by his sense of duty and asked him to demand any boon.
Dasharatha requested him not to cross the Rohini-constellation’ till the sun and
constellation exists. Shani agreed to his request.
Lord Brahma is the presiding deity of the Saturn. His complexion is dark, his
vehicle is a vulture and his chariot is made up of iron. Saturn remains in each
of the twelve zodiacs for thirty months.

sword, a shield, a trident in each of his three hands respectively and his

daughter of Hiranyakashipu. Rahu is also known as ‘Sainhikeya’, which is based
on his mother’s name. Rahu had one hundred brothers, but he was the most capable
and powerful among all of them. (Shrimadbhagawat 6/6/36).
During the time of churning of the sea, when lord Vishnu in his appearance of an
enchanting woman (Mohini) was giving ambrosia to the deities for drinking, Rahu
sat among the deities in disguise. Rahu also was able to drink the ambrosia but
the moon and the sun made the secret open about with real identity. Lord Vishnu
killed him with his Sudarshan Chakra’ by severing his head. The drinking of
ambrosia had made him immortal and lord Brahma transformed him into a planet. (Srimadbhagawat
8/9/26)
According to the Mahabharat (Bheeshma Parva 12/40) the shape of the dragon’s
head is circular. He too sits in the assembly of lord Brahma along with the rest
of the planets.
According to the Matsyapuran (28/61) the shadow of the earth is circular and
Rahu rotates around this very shadow.
He is the presiding deity of this shadow (Chhaya). According to the rigveda
(5/40/5) when Rahu – the son of Asuya or Sinhika covers the sun and the moon
with his darkness, then it becomes so dark that the people became unable even to
identify their places.
Even after being transformed into a planet Rahu attacks the moon on full moon
day and the sun on dark moon day out of his enemity towards them. This event is
called an eclipse or Rahu Parag.
According to the Matsyapuran the chariot of Rahu appears in the form of
darkness. His chariot is pulled by eight horses, which are black in color.
The presiding deity of Rahu is ‘Kaal’. It is symbolised by a black flag in north
west direction among all the nine planets.

is generally considered to be an inauspicious planet. According to the astrology

physical illness. It also causes obstacles in accomplishment of works and
accidents.

head.

is the main.
According to the Indian astrology dragon’s tail is a shadow planet. It has a
tremendous impact on human lives and also the whole creation. It’s area of
influence is considered to be in the north-west direction. According to some
scholars Ketu is Sombre and mild as compared to Rahu and is beneficial for a
man. In some special circumstances it helps a man to achieve the zenith of fame.
The shape of Ketu is considered to be of the shape of a fluttering flag. Its
length is only six angul (six inches).
Although both Rahu and Ketu originated from the same body but after being

lineages were given to them. Rahu was considered to be of ‘Paithinas’ clan or
lineage and Ketu was considered to be of ‘Jainini’ lineage. The complexion of
Ketu is like a colour of the smoke. In some places there are mentions of pigeon
as his vehicle.
The great phase of Dragon’s tail lasts for seven years. Rahu’s presiding dety is
