The Story & Power of the Kanakadhara Stotra- A remedy for your poor Finances

1/
Some hymns are born not from ritual, but from the heart’s raw cry.
The Kanakadhara Stotra is one such hymn.
Composed by Adi Shankaracharya as a young boy—not in a temple, but outside the door of a poor woman who had nothing.
🧵 2/
Shankaracharya, one of India’s greatest saints, was then just a student.
Following the ancient gurukul tradition, he would beg for alms each day.
One morning, hungry and tired, he knocked on the door of a humble hut and called out, “Bhavati Bhiksham Dehi” – O Mother, grant me alms.

Today, someone wrote to me. They’re going through extreme struggles, and I had once warned them—this period of life won’t be easy. The Dasha they’re in is karmically heavy.

But what really struck me in their mail was this line:
“I am slowly losing faith in God.”

This, to me, is more concerning than anything else.

You see, we often think that belief in God should bring us comfort, should bring us protection from suffering. And naturally, when pain becomes unbearable, our mind starts asking—

“If there is a God, why am I suffering so much?”

It’s a very human question. But I’ve observed something.
There are people who never pray, who don’t believe in God at all—and they are living beautiful, successful, prosperous lives.
And there are people who are deeply devoted—who chant, fast, do seva—and they are struggling in every way.

At the same time, there are also devotees who are flourishing, and non-believers who are going through hell.
So we must understand something important:

Bhakti is not a transaction.
Prayer is not a bargain.
God is not a shortcut to a pain-free life.

In Vedic Astrology, the 5th house is seen as the Pūrva Janma Punya—the past life’s accumulated merit. The 9th house represents the Ihajanma Punya—the merit earned in this life. Both are called Punya Bhavas for a reason: they represent the spiritual credit with which we arrive, and the merit we build through Dharma, devotion, and righteous actions. When it comes to having children, these two houses—5th and 9th—must be well placed and free from severe afflictions. If they are not, the soul may still be granted a child, but the path may come with pain: a delay, loss, disability, or even a child who becomes the cause of sorrow. These are not casual difficulties. They are deeply karmic.

🧵 Hanuman Ashtak — jab kuchh samajh na aaye, bas ise padh lo.

1/
This is not some ancient Sanskrit hymn you can’t relate to.
It’s 8 simple verses written by a man who was broken…
…and found Hanuman.
His name was Tulsidas.
And he saw Hanuman. Not in a temple. But in the eyes of a man with leprosy. 2/
That leper was Hanuman in disguise.
Tulsidas fell at his feet and begged for darshan.
And there, in that moment—under the open sky of Kashi—these 8 verses were born.
Hanuman didn’t give him a throne.
He gave him words.

Today is Somavati Amavasya.

It’s a very special day. When Amavasya falls on a Monday, it’s considered highly powerful for spiritual and ancestral work.

In Mahabharata, Bhishma Pitamah had told Yudhishthira to observe a fast on Somavati Amavasya—for the well-being of future generations. Today, Sun and Moon are together in Taurus. That’s a natural time to pray to Lord Shiva, especially for those doing sadhana or Pitru-related work.

I also feel today is very good for married women (Vat Savitri Vrat) to do the Vat tree parikrama—108 rounds.
This ritual is believed to bring blessings for the long life of one’s husband.

Apara Ekadashi: the day even heavy sins get washed away

1/
There’s a day in the year where even the deepest burden on the soul can start to lift. That day is today—Apara Ekadashi. 2/
The story goes like this:

A just and kind king, Mahidhwaj, was killed by his own younger brother—Vajradhwaj—out of jealousy.

His soul couldn’t move on. It kept wandering, stuck between worlds. No peace. No rest.

You often hear things like—“Namjap and prayers will erase your karmas,” or “Your bad karma will vanish through devotion.”
Yes, I agree—the shastras do say this. But let me take you a little deeper.
👇 It’s not magic. It’s the mind—your conscious and unconscious layers—that stores everything.
Every karma—good or bad, every emotion, every action, even from past births—is perfectly stored.
You don’t remember it consciously, but it’s all there—buried deep in the unconscious.

Yes, Narendra Modi ji became Prime Minister because of powerful Rajyogas and planetary support. But why did he have such a horoscope? Why did those Yogas manifest in his chart?
Because his Prarabdha — the karmic residue of past lives — was shaped by immense Purushartha (personal effort). The body he was born into, the mind he was gifted with, the determination he showed — all of it is Prakriti working through him.

Read complete 👇🏽 As the Gita says (3.27):
All actions are done by the gunas of Prakriti, but the ego deluded man thinks ‘I am the doer.’

It is not the soul that acts — it merely observes. The Trigunas — Sattva, Rajas, Tamas — drive action. And when a being has cultivated lifetimes of Rajas (effort, will, fire), that manifests as a horoscope aligned with karmic fruition — Rajyogas, strength, visibility, mass impact.

Saturn has entered Pisces.

To understand what this means for your life, you first need to understand what Pisces truly is.

This thread will uncover the nature of Pisces — its depth, its qualities — so you can see clearly how Saturn will behave here and what it’s bringing into your life.

Read slowly — this thread has layers. Pisces is the 12th and final sign of the natural zodiac.
It’s the end of the cycle — the space of dissolution, surrender, and silence.
Pisces is the sign of moksha, the realm where God resides. It’s the sign of the Mother’s Dharma — because if your mother hadn’t fulfilled even a part of her sacred duty, you wouldn’t have been born.

It’s a sign of deep letting go. A place where nothing stays.
It’s where you walk alone.

When death comes, nothing and no one goes with you — only your impressions and tendencies, as the Gita reminds us.

Fifteen or sixteen years ago, my maternal uncle was struggling to find a suitable match for marriage. He was around 32 or 33 years old—an age that, at the time, was considered quite late for marriage. The family was tense. Alliances were being considered, meetings were happening, but nothing was materializing. My maternal grandmother, like many in traditional setups, was keen on finding a bride with exceptional beauty and facial features. Everyone was trying their best, yet no final decision was made. Then, my maternal grandfather—an insightful and passionate astrologer—decided to step in. He observed the situation, assessed my uncle’s horoscope, and took charge. He quickly finalized a match, but my grandmother was unaware of this decision. When she found out, a heated argument erupted. She could not understand why he had chosen a girl who, in her view, was not particularly attractive. The girl was decent-looking, educated, but had some health issues, including being Hepatitis B positive (though the virus was inactive due to medical treatment). My grandmother strongly opposed the decision, yet my grandfather remained firm.

1/ 🪐 Shukra Graha: The Test

In Jyotisha Shastra, Shukra (Venus), the son of Bhrigu Rishi, isn’t just about beauty, luxury, and relationships.

There’s a deeper, more profound side—Shukra is also a tester, just like his father, Bhrigu Rishi, who once tested the Trideva: Brahma, Vishnu, and Mahesha.
#astrology
Let’s dive into this! 🧵👇 2/ 🌌 Bhrigu Rishi’s Test

Legend has it, Bhrigu Rishi wanted to determine who among the Trideva was beyond the three gunas—Sattva, Rajas, and Tamas.
He tested them by creating illusions to challenge their detachment and spiritual purity. Vishnu, with his transcendence, passed the test, while Brahma and Shiva were influenced by the gunas.
This story isn't just mythology—it’s a cosmic truth reflected in astrology. 🌠
