(i) A 'karmic-obstacle' in the sphere of 'Dharma':
A disappointed father lamented his 19-year-old son being unable to fare well in his Engineering course, because of
the latter's irresponsibility in being a day-dreaming pleasure seeker. It appears that the boy's behaviour was
also somewhat violent at times. Thus, astrological guidance was sought to make the boy more studious and
dedicated to his studies as well as to bring about a change in his behaviour and outlook on life.

(ii) Chart details:
The boy's chart had a Libra Asdt, with the MEP at 17°34' and the Asdt H was under an exact affliction from the MMP
Me, which was also weak through its deb in the D9 & D10 charts. His Ra was placed in the malefic VIIIH. The Mo was
combust and also exactly afflicted by the MMP. The Su was deb in the Asdt H. Ju placed in its own MTS, blessed him
with a strong IIIH & it was in fact the only strong planet in his chart.
The father approached me in Jul 2003, when the Ju-Ma sub-period was running. In Feb 2004, the Ju-Ra sub-period was
scheduled to commence & this sub-period was to continue till the end of Jun 2006. The Ma & the Ra sub-periods were
expected to be difficult.
(iii) SA analysis:
The pleasure-seeking tendency came from the affliction of the MMP, lord of the XIIH, to the Asdt H, VIIH as well
as to the weak Mo; while Propitiatory Charities for Ra and the MMP as well as a Kavach for strengthening all the
FBs - held the key to the boy becoming normal again.
(iv) Remedial Measures:
After making the boy understand what Vedic astrology is all about, as also the mechanism of the Remedial
Measures,
the boy was given a Kavach to wear
during an auspicious Muhurta , so as to strengthen all his weak
FBs & was asked to perform Propitiatory Charities for the MMP, Me & Ra. For the MMP Me, he was asked to feed
stray cattle with 1 doz green bananas on a daily basis with devotion & sincerity and in addition was also asked
to perform the Remedial Measures for Ra, also during the entire course of the Ra sub-period. This lasted an
additional 2 yrs & 4 months. He was persuaded to perform the Remedial Measures for the MMP, for life, as the
affliction to the Asdt H was exact. The father was also asked
to have a Ra-Ke dosha nivarana pooja performed
at a Siva temple in Kalahasti, some 150
Kms from Chennai. In addition, the boy was also
asked to propitiate Lord Vishnu with
Ashtotthara Namavalli [108 holy names
of Lord Vishnu], from the Vishnu
Sahasranama for several months at a stretch
on a daily basis. I had brought in this
effective worship, knowing that the family
followed a Vaishnava Sampradaya
. It was also enjoined that all these Propitiatory Charities must be
performed with devotion & sincerity. These Remedial Measures from the SA & VA had a remarkable effect on his life.
(v) Isvara's grace through the Remedial Measures:
The father, who had now become pleased, recently reported to me that his son had graduated from the Engineering
college with a happy aggregate of some 70% and that there were no more the old problems - neither with his
behaviour, nor with his studies. W.e.f July 2006, the boy enters into the 19 year-long Saturn dasa.
