In my view, the astrology is not complete without remedies. We know, our fate is written as per the deeds done in the previous birth. Thus, everything is fixed in our fate which can be predicted through astrology. Now the question arises, if everything is fixed then what can the remedies do? To understand this we should read the Bhagvat Geeta’s third chapter ‘Karm Yog’. It is explained in brief below:

There are three types of deeds (Karma)

1. Sanchit Karm (Collected Karma of all our previous births)
2. Kriyaman Karm (Presently doing)
3. Prarabdh Karm (A small amount of Karm from Sanchit Karm given to a person at the time of birth)

Prarabdh and Sanchit Karm are fixed but Kriyaman Karm are not fixed. We continue to do Karm and the amount of Sanchit Karm keep on increasing. Likewise we get the fruits of that karma continuously. This is a very difficult subject; it cannot be understood in some paragraphs. If I write it in detail then I will differ from the main subject.

Remedies are very important in the astrology. Remedies work in overcoming the problems indicated through prediction. The question of fate can be understood like this. If there is an accident in our fate and if we know in advance then we can take care in advance and the impact of accident will be very less because we have been careful from before. In addition to this there are certain diseases, some are curable and some incurable. Incurable diseases cannot be cured but by remedies a person can live with those easily whereas curable diseases can be cured completely by remedies. Remedies are carried out to enhance the good results and suppress the bad affect. There many types of remedies like Mantra Jap, Worship, Prayer, Meditation, Medicine, Gems and stones Rudraksh etc.

According to my experience prayer and worship are the most effective remedies. There are certain particular remedies for a particular problem. For example if a person is on the bed of death then the Jap of Mahamrtunjay is very effective. If a girl is not getting married then the Gauri Poojan with the reading of the Gauri Poojan chapter given in Ram Charit Manas for 40 days is very effective, therefore I can say that every remedy has its own importance and significance.

The Gems and Stones are effective in giving strength to the weak planets but the recommendation of Gems is to be done as per the advice of a qualified astrologer otherwise it may have adverse affect if not chosen properly. However, according to my experience, worship and prayer if performed properly are the best remedies to overcome any problem in life.
