Hindu philosophy strongly believes in previous births and attributes our present experiences to our ‘Poorva Karma’ - that is - our deeds in our previous births.

If we have done good things in our previous births, our living in the present birth is peaceful and happy.

If we have done bad things and committed sins in our previous births, our living in the present birth is miserable.

This is the general concept. It is also believed that our present life experiences are reciprocally good or bad, depending on our Poorva Karma.

The more severe our sins in the past births are, the greater our sufferings in the present birth, as also it may continue to be in our future births also.

Brahmmahathi Dosham is believed to continue for several births and also to affect our children. Brahmmahathi Dosham is attributed to killing another person. Our sins are classified into several types depending on their magnitude and severity and the severety of the results also varies depending on the magnitude and severity.

Some Doshams are explicitly visible in the horoscope and several others are not visible - but we find our Poorva Punnya Sthanam is defective. There were veterens in the past who could say this happens because of this sin. Very rarely people have this intuition.

We are always worried about the present life. That is why we are more concerned about our Poorva Karma and we try to perform Dosha Pariharas (Remedies). Almost none of us think that what we do in the present birth is going to be the Poorva Karma in our next birth and that we should have our activities and thinking in proper order to save for our next birth.

We have accrued all our sins from birth after birth and suffering part of it in the present birth and try to find a solution for our present problems - but we almost never think of saving some Punnya Karma for the births to come.

If we start realizing this aspect and start living consistent with this approach, we can have even most of our present problems resolved with lesser strains.

A Dosha Parihara is simply this. We go to the God and confess to him ” Oh God. I have some several sins in my past birth and as a result I am suffering in such a way. Forgive my past sins and give me relief from my present distress”. This is the ultimate meaning of performing any Dosha Parihara.

While performing our Dosha Pariaharas, our presnt problems on hand are predominating our mind.

Only if we introspect ourselves and try to find out and correct our present karmas, this prayer (Pariharas) will have any meaningful effect.

In our way of thinking we may have thousand and one whims and fancies, likes and dislikes and what not in the present day.

We may be agonistic, maybe jealous, may hate men and matters, may lack sympathy.

We may be rough to others. We may be greedy. We may be more concerned about the rituals rather than our actual acts and behaviour to our fellowmen. We might be neglecting our parents or elders.

We may behave in a high handed hurting manner towards others. What we do may be directly or indirectly injurious to others. We may be hurting the feelings and sentiments of others.

And almost, most of us are concerned about only ourselves and do not care for others who are connected with our every activity.

It is never possible for anyone to be perfect. Atleast, we can start thinking in a new line as to how far each and every of our activity is adversely affecting others concerned.

If we have started thinking in the new line and determine to be judicious in all our activities in the present day, our prayer for relief from our Poorva Karma will definitely yield result.

In the contemporary ‘Kali Yuga’, we reap most of the results of our deeds we do in the present birth, in the later of our life itself.

If we keep our earlier part of life in order, the later part will take care of itself. If our Poorva Karma is not that good, we may have to suffer to some extent in the interim. But the later part of it, will sure be good.

If our thoughts are broad minded, sympathetic and magnanimous and if our deeds are good towards others, in the present, we reap good results in the present birth itself.

If, on the contrary, our thoughts and deeds are self-centered, harmful to others, or betray others, the results are painful in the later part of our life.

Maybe all our deeds are not assessed in the present birth itself - so that some or a larger part of our good deeds or sins are assessed for the next birth and that is how, several things happen in our life which we can not reason with except attributing them to our Poorva Karma.

More often, our deeds (Karmas) have their impact on our children as well.

The outside world is not in our control. We can do only such things which are our part in the worldly affairs.

Pariharas (Remedies), correcting our Name numerology compliant, correcting our living place Vaasthu compliant are all the measures, which enable positive energies pass through ourselves and the conditions prevailing about us.

Carrying out the ritual acts in the prescribed sacred places, pleasing the Navagrahas with Homams and Parihara Poojas and by adopting Numerologically suitable Names and making our living and/or business places Vaasthu compliant, are all measures which ensure that we come out of the crisis or problems on one hand.

On the other, we should also do such acts which will please the Gods following every remedial measure.

These measures prompt our own attitudes towards the outside world. This in turn brings in positive results.

These measures also have their impact on the conditions surrounding us, so that when these corrective measures are taken, it creates such conducive atmosphere where we can act with a new vigour and redefined approach though not being conscious about it.

If we repent from the depth of our heart and correct our attitudes, we will be relieved of our distresses.

When we please the Navagraha and the Nature by complying with these two sciences, Numerology & Vaasthu, they provide us the mental alert and strength to realise and repent our errors and sins of the past which we not even realised as simple mistakes until then.

The otherway around, our attitudes may become sympatheitc and considerate, though we may not be conscious about it or realise it.

This naturally eases ourselves and our surroundings, providing necessary impetus for consistent thinking and performing our acts in a positive manner.

If there should be consistency in our growth, prosperity and happiness, we need to do the acts that really please the Gods.

The remedial measures we take are the acts which create a conducive atmosphere to enable the flow of positive energies into us and around us. If we fail to do such acts which please the Gods, the benefit of having done the remedial measures will be short-lived.

The Yantras are one form of imparting the might of spirituality into our homes. Duly inscribed Yantras vibrate the spiritual energies across our home and relieve us from the distresses of our Karma.

Yantras should be duly inscribed and energized with necessary Mantras and Homams. Witout the the strength of energy imparted into the Yantras, they will not be able to vibrate their energy to combat the evils.

Duly inscribed and energized Yantras have great effect to comabat our Karma.

Though not exactly the Pariharas, the Yantras also serve similar purposes to combat the evil forces both inside of us and as well outside of us.

Every creature in this world is a creature of God. We are mammals called human beings. We should develope sympathy and kindness towards our fellowmen and women.

They are also creations of God. If we satisfy our fellowmen, it is as good as satisfying the Almighty God.

Whatever the Pariharas we carry out to weed out our Doshams or Poorva Karma effects, such Pariharas should always be associated with acts of humanity and sympathy - without which, such Pariharas may remain incomplete - and may not be beneficial that it ought to have been.

Homams and Mantras have their own effect. Homams are performed to drive out the invisible evil effects that may be prevelant in any place and bring in the blessings of Gods.

Properly chanted Mantras are vibrating enormous energy in the atmosphere and make the place prosperous and fill it with peace and happiness.

The Yagas and Homams are prescribed in defined order in a defined manner approriate to each type of Hoamams. The Mantras should be chanted in their proper frequency and in their proper rythms. The sound of Mantras play greater importance than the verbal content of the Mantras.

The Mantras chanted in the Hoamams should be pronounced with proper rythms, only then they will carry the necessary effects.

A study in the West has long back revealed that Music supplements the growth of vegetation and flowers. (We are generally more satisfied if our own statement is endorsed from the west rather than believing the proven autheticity of several findings of our own forefathers, Maha Rishis and Maha Siddhars)

The finding stands to testify that Music supplements the growth - but does not imply that it provides necessary basic inputs for the growth of vegetation and flowers.

It holds enough for our Karma also. The Mantras will sure supplement our well being if properly chanted. But the basic input for our well being are our own Karmas.
