This past week we have been immersed in the energy of the Goddess. It may not have been all been sweetness and light! Some of us have been slammed with all sorts of energies that may have been less than positive. This could be the releasing of negative energies that have been brought to the surface by the grace of the Goddesses.
Dr. Pillai teaches us that we can change our destiny by changing our karma. Karma is simply thoughts. Our own karma is a collection of all the thoughts that we are having or have had (in this life and all the past lives!). If we do nothing, our karma just continues to act itself out. If we use Dr. Pillai’s tools and techniques, we can jump off this merry-go-round of cause and effect, and begin to manifest exactly what we want, regardless of the path our karma has been taking us down.
Sucharita tells us if we feel lost and stuck when we wake up in the morning, just say a mantra. Just chant “Gum Gum Gum” which is Ganesha’s seed sound, before you even get off the bed. This will start the energy of Ganesha immediately and set the tone for the day. Ganesha is the Remover of all Obstacles, seen or unseen, so we will be getting off on the right foot!
Important Upcoming Events:
Navaratri or Nine Nights of the Goddess – Oct 1– 10, 2016 Dr. Pillai has designated 10 different Goddesses (in addition to Durga, Lakshmi and Saraswati) to propitiate during this event-one for each day. Today, Sunday Oct. 9, is the last night of Navaratri. The 10th Karma Goddessthat Dr. Pillai has designated is Kamalathmika – She is the tantric form of Lakshmi who bestows prosperity, abundance, beauty and well-being. As one of the 10 Great Wisdom Goddesses, Kamalathmika is a primal female energy, an independent and all-powerful deity without any association with a male counterpart. Kamala blesses us with the pursuit of pleasure, fortune, talent and fame. She also grants the gift of devotion to the Divine. Kamalathmika controls the effects of planet Venus. Learn more.
Also, traditionally we invoke Saraswati on this day. Connect with the Goddess energy of Saraswati (Education, Music and Arts). Her invocation is: “I am accessing your energies to help with education, music and art.” Her chant is: “OM ANURADHA KRAMANA SARASWATIYEI NAMAHA”.

The 13th Waxing Moon – Thursday, Oct 13th, 2016, All 13th Waning and Waxing Moon phase days are called Pradosham days and are opportunities to dissolve negative karma. When a Pradosham falls on a Thursday (the day ruled by Jupiter, who is called “Guru” in Sanskrit), it is known as Guru Pradosham. Guru means “teacher.” Guru Pradosham is a fantastic opportunity to reset your life. Spiritual practices on this day can clear previous negative karma that has been blocking the blessings or grace of your Guru reaching you. This Pradosham window is your chance to open yourself to fresh teachings or lessons from teachers, educators, mentors, or wise persons who can counsel you. There are power rituals offered at AstroVed.com to eliminate any blemishes in your relationships with your gurus.
Ganesha’s 14th Waxing Moon– Friday Oct 14th, 2016 Remember that Dr. Pillai has said that 2016 is Ganesha’s Year. Ganesha is especially very powerful and present on the 4th and 14th moon phases. Call on him to remove your obstacles by chanting his mantra, Om Gum Ganapataye Namaha. Roll and break a coconut to remove obstacles and karma. Read about how to do these rituals in your home here
