- Donate milk for abhishekam to the main deity in a near-by temple.
- Sit calmly for 5 minutes before going out. Close your right nostril
and inhale/exhale only through the left nostril. At the end of
5 minutes, walk out taking your first step with the LEFT FOOT.
- Prostrate before your mother [mother’s image in case mother has expired]
(Moon is the signification for Mother), and then proceed with your duties.
- Meditate on Goddess Lalitaambika, reclining in “Ksheera Saagara”
(Ocean of Milk), and drink about 200 ml. of sweetened milk before
venturing out on your errands.
- Look at your own image in the mirror and affirm “By the Grace of the
Almighty who is verily the Form of Time, Space, and Luck,
I shall definitely accomplish the task that I set out to achieve.
I ordain this UNDER GRACE. Thank You”. Then you can walk out
with perfect confidence that your goodluck will shield you in
all activities!
- COGNITIVE METHOD: Pray to Lord Krishna (born in Chandra Vamsa)
using the words the Mighty Warrior Arjuna used in the battlefield
of Kurukshetra (Shrimad Bhagavat Gita Chapter 2, Verse 7):
"My nature is weighed down with the taint of feeble-mindedness;
my understanding is confused as to what my duty is. I entreat YOU (Lord Krishna),
say definitely what is good for me. I am your disciple. Do instruct me – who have taken
refuge in YOU."
Saying this, you should feel confident that your confusion and indecision
are dispelled by the Lord’s Grace. This act of total submission
removes all the faults in our moods or actions caused due to the
ill effect of Chandrashtama. This remedy is highly effective in any
situation whenever we are confused and are unable to decide what
is best for us.
Good Luck!
