| Continual influence of the heavenly bodies from far away in space affects our life, luck and personality. This ceaseless influence of the heavenly bodies when on the wrong side binds us down so much so that all our actions get thwarted and our health goes down a bit and we are lacking in resources. Thus we have problems all around. To get rid of these bad happenings, Mankind and Womankind endeavors continuously since primeval period to win the favor of these heavenly bodies for their benefit in every possible way. For this there are the religious ceremonies, chanting mantras, giving alms, performing yajnas and spiritual practices, wearing of the Holy Rudraksha, seeking Blessings of Saints and Great Souls and even taking shelter in Astrology. According to Yogis and Astrologists the Holy Rudraksha is influential in removing bad effects of the planets. Gems are also used specially in removing bad effects of planets. If they are unable to pacify their evil influence it is most advisable to wear Rudrakshas described in the following lines. Then not only are the planets pacified but comfort and pleasure also come to its wearer and they become favorable to Lord Shiva. |
