Donation -Best Remedy for your problems

Donation has always been held in high esteem in the scheme of pious deeds. Since times immemorial, the virtues of donation, alms or charity have been greatly extolled. Be it any race, culture or religion it has always been preached by the sages and practiced by men as one of the noblest deed. Religious scriptures are replete with stories and anecdotes of how the persons in olden times donated according to their capability and reaped the benefits of divine blessings, not only in the same birth but future births too. Daan was an essential ritual associated with every ceremony, from birth to death. In holy books of other religions too, viz. quran and Bible, persons are exhorted to make donations to get the blessings of Almighty. To some extent this serves to work towards the aim of equitable distribution of wealth in society. Those who have give to others and thus help to bridge the gap between haves and have-nots.

In the present era of Kali (Kaliyug), Daan or donation has been particularly acclaimed.

Every religious literature has mentioned about and commended Daan. In Kaumrika khand of Skand Puran it is referred to as below:

i.e. only ignorant does not donate with the fear of poverty, while the intelligent does not hesitate in donating to beget the fruits of happiness for many births.

i.e. those who do not donate in spite of being wealthy should be drowned in water by tying a huge boulder in their neck.

The persons who donate liberally are favoured by God. Such persons are highly glorified to the extent that they have been identified as one of the protectors of earth.

i.e. the existence of earth is due to-cows, Brahmin, sati, veracious, greedless and charitable persons, these seven are holding the earth.

In various religious ceremonies, several rites and even visits to holy place, everywhere the import of Daan has been accepted by one and all. No ceremony or yagya is complete without alms to the priest or Brahmin. Those acts or ceremonies are acclaimed as fruitful where liberal donations are given to Brahmins.

CLASSIFICATION OF ASTROLOGY

There are Six Limbs to Astrology, just as there are Six Vedangas for the Vedas. Prashna Marga, a text on horary astrology, lists them as shown in Table below. Prashna Marga states that one conversant with all six branches of astrology will never err in predictions – a tall order! Such an astrologer is a true daivajna (roughly, ‘a knower of God’s intention’). Jyotishis of this quality still exist but are very rare, even in India.

The Six Limbs of Astrology:
Gola Spherical astronomy and direct observations; observational
Astronomy
Ganita Astronomical and astrological calculations
Jataka Birth or natal astrology
Prashna Answering questions without the use of a natal horoscope; horary
Astrology
Muhurta Choosing astrologically auspicious beginnings for any endeavor;
electional astrology
Nimitta Interpretation of omens

A thorough understanding and interpretation of omens requires one’s intuition to be in full bloom. It is nearly impossible to do this without direct instruction from a skilled omenologist, thus making Nimitta the Jyotish limb most dependent on the oral tradition.
