#VeenaNaada kindles the fire in #Kundalini that lies curled
in the #Mooladhara, the lowest of the 6 nerve centers in
the spinal column. The Vibrations tht are set in motion by the body heat and the life breath (Anala & Prana)
gathers momentum as they travel up the spinalcord
The Veena has also been compared to the human body. The #spinalchord in the
human body is held through out the length of the body right from the anus point to the top of the head (Brain) called Brahmarandhra. It is divided into 24 vertebrae as the 24 frets of the Veena.
One sees or touches the Veena it bestows comfort both during and after one’s lifetime. It cleanses & purifies all sins and evils of not only the downtrodden but also of those who have committed heinous crimes
Lord Siva - Body
Strings - Parvathi
Vishnu - The bridge
Lakshmi - The Main resonator Brahma in the secondary resonator, Saraswathi in the
Naabhi (center part of the chest board which resonates the sound)
Vasuki the serpent king in the pegs
Moon in the Jeevala (the cotton thread pieces used between the string and the
bridge)
Sun God in the frets
All Gods are invoked in the Veena, and hence it is indeed a very auspicious instrument
Veenas release extraordinary powers of concentration and meditation leading to
cosmic consciousness. Nãdopasana(worship through music), in fact, is a less arduous path than the three well-known paths of Salvation, namely, Karma, Bhakthi & Gnana margas
The right kind of raga on the Veena can create the Saathvic and noble rasa and Bhava
in human beings. The human being needs to be elevated from the mundane materialistic and ignoble thoughts and feelings of his material life to noble and Sathvic feelings and consciousness
The Naada of the Veena is much more perfect than the human voice itself, capable of creating Saathvic peace in the human heart and elevate him to super human or divine plane of consciousness.

Pitra Dosh– In contrast to the misconception of it being the curse from forefathers, Pitra Dosh is actually a karmic debt of the ancestors. It is reflected in the Kundli in a form of malefic planetary combinations and is to be paid by the person having Pitra dosha in his Kundli.
To put it simply, Pitra dosh is formed in a person’s horoscope, when his/her ancestors have committed some sin or mistake. So, in exchange for that, the native is held accountable to pay for the wrongdoings of their forefather’s past deeds by going through various punishments.
Presence of Pitra Dosha in one’s horoscope may bring about some inevitable and unexpected hardships in the native’s life. It causes severe ups and downs in one’s lifespan. The native tends to suffer from a lack of mental decisiveness and money.

Alakshmi —The Goddess of Misfortune and Strife

Alakshmi or Jayestha is the elder sister of Goddess Lakshmi. She represents everything that is opposite of Lakshmi. She is the Goddess of misfortune, strife, poverty, 'durbhagya' , inauspiciousness and extreme ugliness.
Where did Alakshmi come from :

Alakshmi is said to have emerged with Ma Lakshmi during the churning of the ocean of milk or 'samudra manthan'. While Lakshmi emerged with the 'amrit' or nectar, Alakshmi emerged with the 'halahal' or poison.
yet some believe, Lakshmi was born from the radience of Lord Brahma's face while Alakshmi was born from the darkness of his back
