Vedic Astrology Remedies: Calm, Practical & Effective

By Dr. R.P. Sharma · Ph.D., Acharya (Phalit Jyotish) · practising since 1979

In Vedic astrology, remedies (Upayas) are not meant to induce fear, but to provide practical ways to mitigate planetary afflictions and enhance positive energies. Dr. R.P. Sharma emphasizes remedies that are simple, sustainable, and spiritually uplifting.

Types of Vedic Remedies

• Mantras: Chanting specific sounds (e.g., Gayatri Mantra, Mahamrityunjaya) to align with planetary frequencies.
• Gemstones (Ratnas): Wearing specific stones to strengthen benefic planets (only after expert consultation).
• Charity (Daan): Donating specific items on specific days to pacify malefic planets.
• Fasting (Vrat): Observing fasts on days ruled by specific planets (e.g., Tuesdays for Mars).

When Are Remedies Needed?

Remedies are recommended during challenging Dashas (planetary periods), Sade Sati, or when specific Doshas (like Mangal Dosha) are present in the birth chart.
