Love as Pt. Manish Thinks

Dear Panditji,

I am worried about my husband. He loves books, he loves nature, he loves music and he loves everyone. I am so possessive about him. Sometimes I feel that there is other woman in his life., and i love him. Tell me what to do. Everytime he talks to someone i am in pain. Is this the love, when i will be fine astrologically? I think my love is not pure not complete otherwise this would not have happened and these days i am away from him. what do i do

Blessings., I will not mention your name here, and astrology has nothing to do with your question.
It is good that you understand that your love is not complete, not pure as it should be. This shows that you are aware of yourself. It means that you can go more deep and you can explore yourself. and by exploring yourself you will discover yourself and you can make your love more deep more undconditional. I want your love to expand.
Do not try to make love a relationship. Love as a relationship is always superficial and cheap.
To love a person is only to have a relationship, and in relationships people get possessive and then the suffocation begins. And that is what has happened to your love. you are getting possessive which brings pain.
This very question "love only me .... " then what you are going to do when you are out in the world. you will have to be alert not to show your love to anybody.
Even if you are a lover of books that is enough for your wife or husband to create trouble for you. When he or she is present you cannot read . In fact if you really want to love your man or woman you will have to be loving towards everybody you meet. you have to keep loving the nature, the sunrise the small but important things in life then only you will be able to love.
Love cannot be made a relationship, love is a state of being. you should be a loving person ., love your friends, love your books, love yourself. In all these things your love is going to expand. love is the breathing of your soul.
so do not be jealous, do not prevent anybody and do not try to monopalize love. there are somethings in the life which can not be monopolized.
love is a bird., keep it free do not try to monopolize it or it will die. That is why everybody says "i love you" and there seems to be no love anywhere.
To be in love is to be with the existence, to be soft to be receptive.
I used to sit by the river in my village, under a small tree. I used to sit there for hours , in the evenings in the nights and during the day time. Tree and I became friends and one day one of the persons told me that he heard i was telling people that there is a possiblity of communication between man and trees. I told him yes and he was angry he ordered me that I should not spread strange ideas for which i do not have proof.
I took him with me one day on a full moon night and I asked him to touch the tree and tell me how it feels. He told me it was cold after touching it. Then i said to the tree that it is a matter of your friend's word, i want you to be warm when this person puts his hands on you , show warmth and do not be cold. The person said that I was talking to a tree and I was crazy. I told him there is no harm in trying again and when he put the hand on the tree it was warm and it was a cold night. He said to me that now I had got him into trouble as everybody thought that I was little crazy but now what about him. He told me that he could not believe it but as he had an experience there was no other way except to believe it.
All you need in this is more openess, more softness, more receptivity. That is what happens in love., you are more open and you are more receptive ., The basic reason is you have not allowed the love freedom and as a result you have now a hypocritical kind of love . It says I love you because it has to be said; otherwise there is problem.
To avoid the trouble the husband says " I love you" the wife says " I love you" but the shine in the eyes is absent, there is no gleam in the eyes., heart does not beats faster, and the aroma of love is absent. Do not allow your love to be dead. Love gives freedom and the more freedom love gives the more loving the person becomes.
And I understand your question. I know love has many layers the biological, the social the spiritual. For ages we are told that either we love this world or we love the world beyond. we cannot have both together.
I do not believe in this teaching, to me the world beyond and this world are not seperated they are the one. In love there is no logic, no mathematics. stop thinking in terms of mathematics. In mathematics the part can never be as big as whole. but in life., part can become whole. when a drop of water disappears in the ocean , do you think it remains as a drop , or do you think it is smaller than ocean. The moment it slips in the ocean it becomes ocean. the part and the whole are one. love is the art of being whole.
your husband is simply a first taste, he is not a hindrance. If you love god and your love towards your husband disappears, then that love is not true and you cannot be certain about your love towards god. Remember love is born with you , it is your basic self all you need is to let it flow., but you are blocking it ., you are holding it back you are so miserly about love because you have been taught a practical economics of life. suppose you have money and you go on giving it ., one day you will be left with nothing, by giving moeny you will lose it. This economics has entered into your blood, into your mind. It is true about the outside world but it is not true about love.
Here in love totally different economics work., the more you give it the more you have and and the less you give the less you have it. If you do not give it at all you will become stagnant. You will lose your natural qualitites.
Love is like a musician., if he goes on playing his guitar or his flute more and more music will come. it is not by playing music musician is losing music. such is love, share it. in the begining it will come like dew drops because the miserliness has been very long, but once the dew drops of of love have been shared you will soon become capable of of sharing the whole oceanic flood of your love your being.
Once you are aware of higher economics the economics of life., you will find that just by giving you gain, in the very process of giving you become rich. You often ask me do i have any practical suggestions. ? Practical suggestions ===== no that is not my business at all. Impractical suggestions yes and many.
I do not believe in light. You believe in something you do not know. I see light. I feel light. similarly I do not believe in love., I live in love ., I feel it. someone seeking love with practical knowledge is someone trying to find sun with the help of a lamp.
Relationship means something complete, finished, closed. Love is never a relationship; love is relating. It is always a river, flowing, unending. Love knows no full stop; the honeymoon begins, but never ends. It is not like a novel that starts at a certain point and ends at a certain point. It is an ongoing phenomenon. Lovers end, love continues. It is a continuum. It is a verb, not a noun." Life full of love is not static; it is vibrant. There's a breeziness of freedom in love. Such love knows no bounds, no misery. It is all joy and bliss.

नवरात्र में कैसे करें संपूर्ण दुर्गा सप्तशती पाठ

नवरात्र में कैसे करें संपूर्ण दुर्गा सप्तशती पाठ
----------------------------------------------------

श्री दुर्गा सप्तशती
श्री दुर्गा सप्तशती के पाठ करने का अलग विधान है। कुछ अध्यायों में उच्च स्वर, कुछ में मंद और कुछ में शांत मुद्रा में बैठकर पाठ करना श्रेष्ठ माना गया है। जैसे कीलक मंत्र को शांत मुद्रा में बैठकर मानसिक पाठ करना श्रेष्ठ है। देवी कवच उच्च स्वर में और श्रीअर्गला स्तोत्र का प्रारम्भ उच्च स्वर और समापन शांत मुद्रा से करना चाहिए। देवी भगवती के कुछ मंत्र यंत्र, मंत्र और तंत्र क्रिया के हैं। संपूर्ण दुर्गा सप्तशती स्वर विज्ञान का एक हिस्सा है।

वाकार विधि: 
---------------
प्रथम दिन एक पाठ प्रथम अध्याय, दूसरे दिन दो पाठ द्वितीय, तृतीय अध्याय, तीसरे दिन एक पाठ चतुर्थ अध्याय, चौथे दिन चार पाठ पंचम, षष्ठ, सप्तम व अष्टम अध्याय, पांचवें दिन दो अध्यायों का पाठ नवम, दशम अध्याय, छठे दिन ग्यारहवां अध्याय, सातवें दिन दो पाठ द्वादश एवं त्रयोदश अध्याय करके एक आवृति सप्तशती की होती है। 

संपुट पाठ विधि: 
----------------------
किसी विशेष प्रयोजन हेतु विशेष मंत्र से एक बार ऊपर तथा एक नीचे बांधना उदाहरण हेतु संपुट मंत्र मूलमंत्र-,  संपुट मंत्र फिर मूलमंत्र अंत में पुनः संपुट मंत्र आदि इस विधि में समय अधिक लगता है। लेकिन यह अतिफलदायी है। 
अच्छा यह होगा कि आप संपुट के रूप में अर्गला स्तोत्र का कोई मंत्र ले लीजिए। या कोई बीज मंत्र जैसे ऊं श्रीं ह्रीं क्लीं दुर्गायै नम: ले लें या ऊं दुर्गायै नम: से भी पाठ कर सकते हैं। 
 
 
नवरात्र पूजा विधि
----------------------
सर्वप्रथम- देवी भगवती को प्रतिष्ठापित करें। कलश स्थापना करें। दीप प्रज्ज्जवलन करें। ( अखंड ज्योति जलाएं यदि आप जलाते हों या जलाना चाहते हों)
ध्यान- सर्वप्रथम अपने गुरू का ध्यान करिए। उसके बाद गणपति, शंकर जी, भगवान विष्णु, हनुमान जी और नवग्रह का।

पाठ विधि
-------------
संकल्प- श्री दुर्गा सप्तशती का पाठ करने से पहले भगवान गणपति, शंकर जी का ध्यान करिए। उसके बाद हाथ में जौ, चावल और दक्षिणा रखकर देवी भगवती का ध्यान करिए और संकल्प लीजिए...हे भगवती मैं.....( अमुक नाम)....सपरिवार...( अपने परिवार के नाम ले लीजिए...)...गोत्र.( अमुक गोत्र)....स्थान ( जहां रह रहे हैं)... पूरी निष्ठा, समर्पण और भक्ति के साथ आपका ध्यान कर रहा हूं। हे भगवती आप हमारे घर में आगमन करिए और हमारी इस मनोकामना... ( मनोकामना बोलें लेकिन मन ही मन) को पूरा करिए। श्रीदुर्गा सप्तशती के पाठ, जप ( माला का उतना ही संकल्प करें जितनी नौ दिन कर सकें) और यज्ञादि को मेरे स्वीकार करिए। इसके बाद धूप, दीप, नैवेज्ञ के साथ भगवती की पूजा प्रारम्भ करें।


अन्य महत्वपूर्ण नियम :- 
-----------------------------
दुर्गा शप्तसती का पाठ शुरू करने के पहले प्रथम पूज्य गणेश की पूजा करनी चाहिए।  यदि घर में कलश स्थापन किया है तो पहले कलश का पूजन फिर नवग्रह की पूजा और फिर अखंड दीप का पूजन करना चाहिए।  

दुर्गा शप्तसती के पाठ में अर्गला,  कीलक स्त्रोत और कवच के पाठ से पहले शापोध्दार का पाठ करना आवश्यक है।  दुर्गा सप्तसती के सभी मंत्र ब्रह्मा , वसिष्ठ और विश्वामित्र के द्वारा शापित किये गए है।  शापोद्धार के बिना जाप का फल प्राप्तः नहीं होता है।  

दुर्गा सप्तसती का पाठ करने से पहले और बाद में नवारण मंत्र " ॐ ऐ ह्री क्लीं चामुण्डाय विच्चे " का पाठ करना परम आवशयक है।  
इस मंत्र में लक्ष्मी काली और सरस्वती के बीज मंत्र का संग्रह है।  

दुर्गा सप्तसती पाठ के आरंभ और अंत में क्षमा प्रार्थना का पाठ अवश्य करना चाहिए।  

श्री दुर्गा सप्तसती ग्रन्थ में सात सो श्लोक है।  प्रथम चरित्र में पहला अध्याय , मध्यम चरित में दूसरा तीसरा और चौथा अध्याय और उत्तम चरित में शेष अध्याय रखे गए है।  
 
दुर्गा सप्तशती का पाठ करते समय सिले हुए वस्त धारण नहीं करने चाहिए। पुरुषो को धोती और स्त्रियों को साड़ी धारण करनी चाहिए।

दुर्गा सप्तशती का पाठ करते समय एकाग्रचित होना आवश्यक होता है। इसलिए पाठ करते समय आलस न करें और जम्हाई ने लें। मां दुर्गा में ध्यान लगाने का प्रयास करें। पाठ करते समय बीच में किसी और से बात न करें।

अगर पाठ करते समय आपका हाथ पैर से स्पर्श हो जाता है, तो सबसे पहले जल से हाथों को धाएं, उसके बाद ही पुस्तक को स्पर्श करें। क्योंकि दुर्गा सप्तशती का पाठ करते समय शुद्धता का ध्यान रखना बहुत आवश्यक होता है।

कुंडली मिलान में कब निरस्त हो जाता है नाड़ी दोष, जानिए 3 नियम

कुंडली मिलान में कब निरस्त हो जाता है नाड़ी दोष, जानिए 3 नियम

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

हिंदू धर्म में विवाह से पहले अष्टकूट यानी गुण मिलान का खासा महत्व है।

इसमें वर्ण, वश्य, तारा, योनी, ग्रह मैत्री, गण, भकूट और नाड़ी के आधार पर वर-वधू के गुणों का मिलान किया जाता है।

इसमें सबसे ज्यादा अहम नाड़ी है।

इसकी अहमियत इस बात से पता चलती है कि ज्यादा गुण मिलने के बावजूद अगर नाड़ी दोष है तो विवाह वर्जित बताया जाता है। हालांकि अगर संभावित वर और वधू की कुंडली में तीन शर्तों में से एक भी पूरी हो रही हो तो नाड़ी दोष निरस्त हो जाता है।

कुंडली में चंद्रमा की नक्षत्र में स्थिति के आधार पर नाड़ी का पता चलता है। कुल नक्षत्र 27 होते हैं, इस प्रकार हर नाड़ी के 9-9 नक्षत्र होते हैं।

वैदिक ज्योतिष में नाड़ी 3 प्रकार की होती हैं-

-----------------------------------------------

आदि, मध्य और अन्त्य नाड़ी

आदि या आद्य नाड़ी-

------------------------

ज्येष्ठा, मूल, आर्द्रा, पुनर्वसु, उत्तरा फाल्गुनी,हस्त, शतभिषा, पूर्वा भाद्रपद और अश्विनी नक्षत्र की गणना इस नाड़ी में की जाती है।

मध्य नाड़ी-

-------------

पुष्य, मृगशिरा, चित्रा, अनुराधा, भरणी, घनिष्ठा, पूर्वाषाढ़ा, पूर्वा फाल्गुनी और उत्तरा भाद्रपद नक्षत्र की गणना मध्य नाड़ी में होती है।

अन्त्य नाड़ी-

---------------

स्वाति, विशाखा, कृतिका, रोहिणी, अश्लेषा, मघा, उत्तारषाढ़ा, श्रवण और रेवती नक्षत्रों की गणना अन्त्य नाड़ी में की जाती है।

कैसे लगता है नाड़ी दोष

----------------------------

जब संभावित वर और वधू के जन्म नक्षत्र एक ही नाड़ी में आते हैं, तब यह दोष लगता है।

इस दोष के चलते गुण मिलान में 8 गुणों की हानि होती है।

इस दोष के लगने से विवाह को वर्जित बताया जाता है।

इस दोष के बावजूद विवाह होने पर विवाह में अलगाव, मृत्यु और दुखमय जीवन की आशंकाएं होती हैं।

किन स्थितियों में निरस्त हो जाता है नाड़ी दोष

-----------------------------------------------------

यदि संभावित वर और वधू का जन्म नक्षत्र समान हो, लेकिन दोनों के चरण अलग-अलग हों तो नाड़ी दोष नहीं लगता है।

यदि दोनों की राशि समान हो, लेकिन जन्म नक्षत्र अलग-अलग हों तो नाड़ी दोष नहीं लगता है।

यदि दोनों के जन्म नक्षत्र समान हों, लेकिन राशि अलग-अलग हों तो नाड़ी दोष नहीं लगता है

जानिए आरती के बाद क्यों बोलते हैं कर्पूरगौरं मंत्र

जानिए आरती के बाद क्यों बोलते हैं कर्पूरगौरं मंत्र

किसी भी मंदिर में या हमारे घर में जब भी पूजन कर्म होते हैं तो वहां कुछ मंत्रों का जप अनिवार्य रूप से किया जाता है। सभी देवी-देवताओं के मंत्र अलग-अलग हैं, लेकिन जब भी आरती पूर्ण होती है तो यह मंत्र विशेष रूप से बोला जाता है-

कर्पूरगौरं मंत्र

कर्पूरगौरं करुणावतारं संसारसारं भुजगेन्द्रहारम्।

सदा बसन्तं हृदयारबिन्दे भबं भवानीसहितं नमामि।।

ये है इस मंत्र का अर्थ

इस मंत्र से शिवजी की स्तुति की जाती है। इसका अर्थ इस प्रकार है-

कर्पूरगौरं- कर्पूर के समान गौर वर्ण वाले।

करुणावतारं- करुणा के जो साक्षात् अवतार हैं।

संसारसारं- समस्त सृष्टि के जो सार हैं।

भुजगेंद्रहारम्- इस शब्द का अर्थ है जो सांप को हार के रूप में धारण करते हैं।

सदा वसतं हृदयाविन्दे भवंभावनी सहितं नमामि- इसका अर्थ है कि जो शिव, पार्वती के साथ सदैव मेरे हृदय में निवास करते हैं, उनको मेरा नमन है।

मंत्र का पूरा अर्थ- जो कर्पूर जैसे गौर वर्ण वाले हैं, करुणा के अवतार हैं, संसार के सार हैं और भुजंगों का हार धारण करते हैं, वे भगवान शिव माता भवानी सहित मेरे ह्रदय में सदैव निवास करें और उन्हें मेरा नमन है।

यही मंत्र क्यों….

किसी भी देवी-देवता की आरती के बाद कर्पूरगौरम् करुणावतारं….मंत्र ही क्यों बोला जाता है, इसके पीछे बहुत गहरे अर्थ छिपे हुए हैं।

भगवान शिव की ये स्तुति शिव-पार्वती विवाह के समय विष्णु द्वारा गाई हुई मानी गई है।

अमूमन ये माना जाता है कि शिव शमशान वासी हैं, उनका स्वरुप बहुत भयंकर और अघोरी वाला है। लेकिन, ये स्तुति बताती है कि उनका स्वरुप बहुत दिव्य है। शिव को सृष्टि का अधिपति माना गया है, वे मृत्युलोक के देवता हैं, उन्हें पशुपतिनाथ भी कहा जाता है, पशुपति का अर्थ है संसार के जितने भी जीव हैं (मनुष्य सहित) उन सब का अधिपति।

ये स्तुति इसी कारण से गाई जाती है कि जो इस समस्त संसार का अधिपति है, वो हमारे मन में वास करे। शिव श्मशान वासी हैं, जो मृत्यु के भय को दूर करते हैं। हमारे मन में शिव वास करें, अकाल मृत्यु का भय दूर हो।
