Is it possible to treat diseases through astrology?

 Sunday 14th September 2024 at 5:15 PM

Where in India is this treatment possible?

Chandigarh: 15 July 2024: (Media Link//Aaradhana Times Desk)::

Is it possible to treat diseases through astrology? Are there any scientific bases for this? If so, where in India and the world are such treatments done? Can such places and people be found out? Such questions are often asked by those people whose astrology is still unknown.

In fact, treating diseases through astrology has been a controversial and discussed topic for a long time. There are different opinions about astrology on many matters and it is quite challenging to support it on scientific basis. However, in many places, along with medicine, there are separate sections for treatment through astrology. An attempt can be made to clarify this subject through the following points.

Astrology and treatment of diseases may seem strange to most people, but those who have faith in this science and those who have knowledge of astrology consider it to be completely perfect. Astrology, while investigating a disease, sometimes goes to the past lives. Modern science sees it according to the family background. They believe that this disease has come from the genes of the mother or father. In this regard, the health of many generations is often examined. Diseases like thalassemia are considered genetic diseases. Perhaps this is also one of the reasons due to which marriage disputes in close relations were considered taboo. While making a marriage relation, people considered it appropriate to leave seven generations from the mother and father's side. Perhaps this is the reason why a village girl was respected like a real sister. Marriage with her was not even thought of.

The principle of astrology is very deep in many other aspects too. In astrology, it is believed that the position of planets and constellations affects our life and health. Astrologers try to tell by analyzing the position of planets and horoscopes which planets or constellations can have a negative impact on your health and suggest remedies for it.

Now the methods of treatment suggested according to astrology are also special. It is a different matter that those who do not believe in astrology may find these methods strange.

One of these methods is wearing gems. Wearing gems is a must but not everyone knows about it. Some uneducated people sometimes make the person wear the wrong gems and are only interested in filling their pockets. Therefore, while doing it, it is very important to find out who is a good and knowledgeable astrologer.

Another method for this purpose is to perform Puja and rituals. It also has many benefits but it is better to ask its correct method from a good and knowledgeable person. Puja and rituals were performed in the old times and are performed even today.

Giving special donations for a special purpose and treatment is also considered a good way. If some special things are donated at special places at special times, then it also gives benefits. There is a science and method behind this kind of donation. Without understanding it, all this may not be beneficial.

Chanting special mantras sometimes becomes a method of giving immediate benefits. Mantra chanting comes under this method. Whose pronunciation, time and voice or tune are all scientifically calculated. Their effect is also deep.

Scientific approach and scientific evidence may not be able to prove much, yet people's faith in it is constantly increasing. Those who believe in it, do so. At present, there is very little scientific evidence of treating diseases through astrology, but still faith and belief in it is constantly increasing.

However, it is also difficult to scientifically test the theory of astrology and its effects because it depends on many personal and environmental factors. Many scientific studies done on astrology have failed to prove that there is any clear relationship between the position of planets and human health.

Apart from this, the placebo effect also works a lot. In some cases, people may get psychological benefits by doing astrological remedies. This is called the placebo effect, where a person's faith and belief can have a positive impact on his health.

Where are astrology-based treatments available in the country and the world? This question is also asked very often. This question is also important. Astrology has a long history in India and it is widely popular. Many people resort to astrological remedies for health problems. Especially in some parts of South India, there are astrology-based health clinics and treatment centers.

Himachal Pradesh, surrounded by the hilly areas of North India, is also very important in this matter. If you go eight kilometers up the mountain from Dharamsala in Himachal, there is the headquarters of the Dalai Lama. The atmosphere there also starts feeling very religious.

It is known as McLeodganj. There is a temple of the Tibetan community as well as a hospital at this place. In this hospital, almost all those diseases are treated in which modern medical methods prove unsuccessful. From common diseases to cancer, treatment is done here successfully.

Talking about other countries, astrology and tantra-mantra are also prevalent in Nepal. Many diseases are cured here in local ways. Tibetan astrology and medicine have their own importance. We have discussed this above as well.

Along with this, it is also true that western countries are also not less in this matter. In some western countries too, people are interested in astrology, but it has never become a part of mainstream medicine. People also get cured with this type of treatment method, but despite this, they do not come in front of the world.

The conclusion also comes out that centers for treatment with astrology are present in many places. Treating diseases with astrology is a controversial and personal belief. Its scientific evidence is very limited and it is not supported in modern medicine. However, from cultural and historical point of view, it is prevalent in many societies.

In the end, a special advice is also important that caution should be taken while doing astrological treatment and for serious health problems, one should always consult a qualified medical specialist.

Bibhash Mishra on the illusion and secrets of Rahu

Jamshedpur: (Jharkhand): 18 November 2023:

(Astro Screen//Aradhana Times Astrology Desk): 

People are discussing many issues like Rahu, Ketu, Sadhesati. Are worried. What is this whole matter after all? How is a scientific aspect and proper solution to these issues possible? Some people believe in these things openly and some people secretly. Due to the ever increasing number of curious people interested in this field, this field has become a big industry. We will try our best to provide you authentic information. Experts in the field are regularly consulted for this sponsorship. This time we are talking about Rahu. There is a lot of fear, confusion and misconception in the minds of people regarding Rahu whereas very few people know about the reality. This time we are presenting for you a special article by Jharkhand's famous astrologer Bibhash Mishra in which many misconceptions about Rahu have been cleared. For those interested in astrology, the very meaningful explanation of Rahu will be very informative.

                                                      -Kartika Kalyani Singh (Coordinating Editor)

Rahu's flight has so many power. Perhaps you can get some idea of ​​how important Rahu's flight is by reading this post. In today's post we will discuss about the movement of planet Rahu. We understand its example like this.

In today's post we will discuss about the movement of Rahu planet.

We understand this example as

Let's say you have a Mercedes car worth Rs 1.5 crore, all the functions are automatic and equipped with all the comforts...

Along with this, you also have a private plane. The seats are torn, there are bedbugs in the seats, the paint of the jet is also peeled off... that is, it is in completely pristine condition... only the engine works properly. Is .

Now tell me whether if we want to reach the destination then a Mercedes worth Rs 1.5 crore will work or an old private plane.

No matter how expensive a Mercedes is, it has to be driven on the road only.

And if there is a traffic jam while moving on the road, the Mercedes cannot fly in the sky...

 Or if there are potholes and bumps, then no matter how good a Mercedes tire is, it will definitely jerk.

And if there is heavy traffic, your Mercedes worth Rs 1.5 crore will remain standing there...

No matter how much you cry and scream that you have a Mercedes worth Rs 1.5 crore, you should be allowed to go first.   Still no hearing..

And in a traffic jam, even if there is a handcart or an auto rickshaw standing right in front of you, you will have to stand behind it in the queue.

Because no matter how expensive a Mercedes is, it has to be driven on the road...

And no matter how old the airplane is, it has to fly in the sky....

Where there is neither any traffic... nor bumpy road...

The lone uncrowned king tearing through the sky...

Now let us try to understand the above example from planet

Er. Bibhash Mishra Research Scholar
 and Astrologer Consultant 

No matter how strong any planet you have, be it Venus, Jupiter or Buddha... and if its Mahadasha is going on, then you have a Mercedes worth Rs. 1.5 crore in the form of Shobha...

Which is beautiful only in form... but it will move on the road and once there is a traffic jam, it will have to stop there...

That means it has its own limit of big planets...

And Rahu is lying alone in your horoscope...

No matter how worn out you are, remember that flying is in the sky...

Rahu is neither worried about traffic nor about crowd on the roads...

Like a free bird, he has to fly through the open sky and reach your destination...

Perhaps this is why it is said that whatever work the other planets think of doing in their Mahadasha, by then Rahu will have done it in his Mahadasha. ,

We have seen the horoscopes of many famous musicians, cricketers, high officials in government positions… all of them have achieved their success in the Mahadasha of Rahu.

The work that you think is impossible is Rahu...

Taking a chisel and a hammer and breaking a big mountain for 22 years to make a path is Rahu...

Apple falling from the tree to the ground... and researching it to discover gravity is Rahu.

Rahu is such a happiness that you can't even imagine...

Tremendous lifestyle full of glamour. The lifestyle of big cricketers is 100% Rahu.

A cricketer starts playing cricket in the Mahadasha of Mars. Mars is the factor of sports.

Rahu is at its peak during Mahadasha of 18 years. Rahu is the factor of fame and glamour.

He takes retirement in the last phase of Rahu's Mahadasha.

In a few years, he is appointed to the post of coach and training when his Guru's Mahadasha is going on. Guru is the factor of coaching for all types of training.

Sometimes he also gets the opportunity of politics and has to face defamation, defeat or other things when his Saturn's Mahadasha is going on.

Thus, he plays his role very well as different characters in different Mahadashas.

But in all the characters, the golden age which has been his is…that is the Mahadasha of Rahu…that is, Rahu sets the platform which he gets the benefit in the rest of the Mahadasha.

Rahu is responsible for that event that happens suddenly in your life.. whether it is good or bad.. that event that completely turns your life upside down.

Now the question comes that when is the position of Rahu's Rajyoga Karaka best?

When Rahu is in the third house in your horoscope or Rahu is in the eleventh house in your horoscope...

And the most Rajyogi position of Rahu is when Rahu is placed in its own Nakshatra Ardra, Shatabhisha, Swati.

All three constellations are Rahu's own...but in Shatabhisha it shows amazing effect.

In all three constellations, Shatabhisha is his wife, Adra is his son, and Swati is his daughter.

Obviously a happy person remains very happy with his wife... That's why if Rahu is of Shatabhisha then it shows amazing effect.

It does not matter much in which zodiac sign Rahu is placed or it is very important in which Nakshatra Rahu is placed...

If it is related to the constellation of Lagnesh…with the constellation of Dhanesh and Labhesh…with the constellation of Panchamesh and Bhagyesh…

Or it is sitting in the third house or eleventh house of the horoscope.

 Also, if Shatabhisha sits in Adra or Swati Nakshatra, then just see what it does in its Mahadasha.

Rahu is the factor of introduction of patience.

Just hold on with patience... then see, Rahu will create history in his Mahadasha.
