Jyotiṣa uses different gemstones (also called birthstones) to strengthen each planet’s energies.

Gemstones are the finest and purest consolidation of minerals that exists, formed under extreme heat and pressure inside the earth. Stones are crystals of clear and purified minerals that are also found in the human body.

Because of their mineral quality, they are agents of electromagnetic energy, which influences the electromechanical nature of the human body. When a stone is in contact with the skin, it starts working on the physiology and energy level of the body, as well as the pranic layer of energy.

Today, scientific experiments have verified the intrinsic properties of the rudrākṣa. These are: dynamic polarity, bioelectricity, and paramagnetic and diamagnetic propertiesall of which effectively control hyperactivity, eliminate stress and bring beneficial effects on body and mind.

Rudrākṣa beads are emblems of Lord Śiva, who is believed to be at the very core of the centrifugal force of the universe, representing Brahman or the cosmic Sun: the aspect of creation which continually dissolves to begin a new cycle of creation, preservation, dissolution and recreation of the Universe. Therefore, wearing rudrākṣa attunes one with the cosmic energy that destroys karmas and confers spiritual liberation. It cannot have an adverse effect on the wearer because of its auspicious signification and can be worn by anyone, irrespective of his or her moon sign. Rudrākṣa beads have immense benefits:

This ritual traditionally performed for the nine planets, brings solace to the person’s mind, and dilutes any negative influences which can be felt during certain period called ‘Navagraha dośa’; when the planets are not in proper alignment, influencing the person negatively. Due to these, people fall into depression and certain low moods. This period may last for some time, depending on the power of the planet.

However this can be averted with intelligence. Navagraha pūja is conducted to connect oneself to the cosmic intelligence, to avert any hindrances and to bestow tremendous peace and contentment in life. This pūja is a collection of prayers and rituals performed to the planets in the form of deities.

With the blessing of these nine planets, the person is helped to attain good health, prosperity, knowledge and enlightenment.

Homa is a fire ritual, and an intense spiritual practice which becomes a powerful meditation technique when performed with devotion. During homa, one invokes the cosmic energy and visualizes it in the fire. Offerings to the planet deity through the fire are made at the same time. Through the mantra chanted and the purification effect of the fire; the body, the space in which the ritual happens and the people attending the prayer are benefited, and the planetary effect decreased.

When this homa is done as a personal spiritual practice, the energy is brought from the nirvanic to the physical layer of the body through all subtle energy layers, healing the person and raising his level of energy-allowing him to transform his destiny.

Navagraha pūja and homa services are available in all Nithyananda Vedic Temples throughout USA, and Nithyananda Dhyanapeetam ashrams throughout India.

Aum hrīṁ Nityānandāya namaḥ (Om Hreem Nithyanandaya Namaha)

In this mantra, Aum is the primordial sound and is the representation of Śiva's energy, the male aspect of the universe. Actually, Aum is the cosmic sound that pervades the grahas, their movements and their effects on us.

The Bīja mantra (seed sound), Hrīṁ, has no linguistic meaning but encloses a powerful vibration which attunes you to the primordial energy from which the grahas originate: the female energy, Śakti.

Nithyananda means Eternal Bliss and invokes the truth which is our true nature, and the nature of our own intelligence. It is the pūrṇa mūla mantra (the complete mantra) because it represents a straight path to both Śakti (success in this world) and to Śiva (success in the cosmic world) which is 'enlightenment'. Namaḥa means 'I surrender' my ego to Existence, to the Master. Thus this sacred mantra awakens the completeness and fulfillment inside us and balances the male and female energies which exist inside every one of us.

The repetition of this mantra is a powerful technique which can be performed throughout the day as you go about your daily routine. It can also be uttered aloud 108 times every morning. The number 108, which is a multiple of 9, has been sacred since time immemorial. That is because the number 9 is the limit of all numbers: 0 to 9 is all one needs to make up an infinite amount of numbers. Therefore, 108 symbolizes and connects you to infinity.

Its beautiful sound should be pronounced clearly and as loudly as possible and from the navel region.

Eventually, this mantra will replace your inner chatter and create silence in your mind. Your whole being integrates itself towards enlightenment which leads you out of the dynamic of karma and planetary effects.

You usually have flair and drive to sense what needs to be done and how it should be done. You should learn to harness your intuition in your day-to-day life! You often feel you cannot afford to trust it in your practical life... Feeling it may mislead you... Did you forget all genius decisions, discoveries and masterpieces were made out of sheer intuition? Don't let your practicality and goals cut you off from your intuition. It is too big a price to pay! This intuition is the very path to beautiful mysticism in your life. Be very clear, when you reject it, you close your door to the higher aspects of life and reduce existence to an object. There may be a plan for business in your life, but your life should not be a business plan only!

Whenever you feel depressed, just remain with it. You cannot be depressed for long because by its very nature, your inner space constantly clears itself. In this world nothing is permanent; everything fluctuates. And the world cannot change its basic law for you so that you remain depressed forever! Nothing is here forever; everything is moving and changing. Existence is like a river; it cannot stop for you, just for you, so that you remain depressed forever. If you watch your depression, you will feel that even your depression is not the same today that it was yesterday; it is different, it has changed. Just watch, remain with it and don’t do anything. This is how transformation happens. Fighting it will not solve the problem; it will only increase it and leave you frustrated. Don’t let your resistances bring negative feelings towards yourself. And be sure to take care of your health.

It feels difficult to come out of the following inner chatter: “Whatever I do is wrong. People are never happy with what I achieve...Nobody cares for the efforts I’m putting into things.” Your outer personality, your self-image, clothing, body language, and ways of presenting yourself to the outer world never seem right. So, again, you feel stirred by low self-esteem and a need of recognition. When this low mood happens, watch yourself carefully! Are you suffering from someone else's negative views or from your own constant self-criticism? Actually, nobody can hurt you unless you give silent permission. If you look sincerely, you'll find the inner critic is far more virulent than the outer. So to get out of this feeling, beware of your inner chatter and use healing words for yourself. You will see, your problem does not actually exist!

Enlightenment is passion with patience. Passion alone will raise a great number of thoughts: this passion, this rajas, will allow you to be successful in the outer world. If you have just patience, you will deeply accept everything and earn peace in the inner world. But with either one or the other alone, you will not get the ultimate experience of enlightenment which gives you the fulfillment in both worlds. Enlightenment is the total sum of passion plus patience. It is a mix of a strong will and a deep prayer that raise your frequency to a higher level, to a different dimension. Through that alone will you be able to break through all your automaticities to awaken the non-mechanical part of the brain. They will bring revolution to your experience of reality. Be passionate, be patient! Be actively passive.

Stop worrying, start living!

You cannot believe your life can be lived without day-dreaming. If you live in super consciousness, whatever dream you have will give you deep satisfaction. These dreams will be a clear vision. Your mind has convinced you that you cannot live without fantasy: that is why you suffer. You can live without day-dreaming! You may feel you have to plan things to be able to survive. But more often than not, instead of planning things, you are worrying and limiting your growth with your worries. From today, have the courage to live with spontaneity. The people who have the courage to trust their vision become the geniuses. The courage to enter into life without daydreaming can simply revolutionize it. Just try this technique throughout the month!
