Remedies or Pariharam in Indian Astrology

Astrology remedy / Upay is NOT a magical subversion of destiny that one created from one's own free will in the past.

It is a tool to become more effective on a daily basis. That is the only recipe for success, in every sense of the word — giving our best shot at the "goal", whatever that may be, on a daily basis.

This is achieved by understanding ourselves and transforming for the better — mentally, psychologically and emotionally.

What a Practical Remedy Should Be

Remedies should ideally involve some tweaks in doing things that we are regularly doing already, anyway.

It is not just one-off action or periodic actions of symbolic nature that would do the trick.

Symbolic actions like feeding animals some specific stuff, offering some articles to people or institutions, etc., are merely communications with the world around us.

They change lives only under declarations by charlatans and frauds.

Nowhere in our texts are such actions promised to magically change lives. They are only advised to improve long-term karmic gaps.

Mantra and the Question of Practicality

Remedies like mantra are pure but 99% ineffective in modern life because common people cannot follow the procedure and lifestyle required to chant mantra.

The issue is therefore not necessarily the purity of the remedy, but whether it can actually be integrated into the life of the person attempting to practise it.

The Real Upaya — Transformation Through Daily Life

A practical and effective remedy is about daily tweaks of regular, mundane activities performed under a mind undergoing transformation.

Real Upayas or Parihara are about integrating some missing actions or tweaks — or doing away with some others — in our daily life.

Such actions or tweaks should hardly cost money or considerable time.

The remedy therefore becomes part of life itself rather than something performed separately in the hope of producing a sudden change.

What Can a Remedy Actually Change?

In the theatre of worldly affairs, if the birth horoscope indicates that receiving something — for example, money, relationship or child — is not sanctioned in abundance, it would be extremely difficult to cross those limits.

So what can remedies achieve in such cases?

Remedies can try to reach the sanctioned potential.

Just to reinforce again — there is none sitting up there fixing these limits for us.

It is our free will of the past which is today's destiny. God retired from our worldly affairs after giving us the capability to do karma according to our free will.

Jyotish as a Spiritual Tool

Originally, Jyotish (Indian astrology) was used as a tool to find the best times for performing the highest Vedic rituals — for example, fire sacrifices, stotra, yajna, etc.

In Jataka Jyotish, that is, human horoscopy, it can be used to reorient our energies towards a specific purpose, including worldly matters.

However, Jyotish was essentially meant to be a spiritual tool.

Again, spiritualism does not necessarily mean outright renunciation.

It can also mean understanding our higher connections with each other, and with animate and inanimate objects.

This is highly controversial topic and rightly so, in view of the state of modern affairs, malpractices and outright frauds. What was supposed to invoke vibrational changes within us was hijacked by commercial ecosystem in last century. To cut a long story short, expecting magic out of remedies is delusional. I have been writing about "logical remedies" backed up by specific and practical daily actions that heal karmic blockage indicated by individual charts.

For our life matters e.g. career, relationship, etc all the 12 ascendants have their own paths to follow. Each path has it's door with key to open that door.
