#mantra chanting rules

[subir-astrologer]

WHAT WOULD BE THE IMPACT IF THE CHANTING OF MANTRAS IS NOT DONE CORRECTLY

Let me explain it in simple way, when we hammer a nail in wrong way the what happens.

It bends, it can break, it will not get nailed in right direction and it may crack or break on which is to be nailed.

In the same way when we chant mantra incorrectly then it can misfire and boomerang in negative way and harm us.

One need to understand that mantra is a group of words which on enchanting in a correct way creates a vibration and inside that it creates a subtle vibration which actually works for us.

It is something like the microwave creates electronic magnetic vibration which vibrates the molecules of the food and produce heat and thus cooks the food.

A wrong power of electronic magnetic vibration in microwave can destroy the food.

In the same way a wrongly chanted mantra can create issues for us.

In very deeper way it will impact our chakra of our body and harm us ( now please don’t ask me what is chakras . . . ha ha ha )

In the same way the mantra creates a vibration which works in its subtle form and so the vibration itself has to be very perfect and thus our chanting ( pronunciation ) of the mantra has to be very accurate and perfect.

For these reasons one need a perfect GURU who can guide us for the perfection.

In daily life we see there are 2 words with a similar pronunciation and give good meaning and other give slang meaning. So, a litter difference in the pronunciation changes the whole meaning of the word and makes it a negative one.

Same is with the mantra, the wrong way of enchanting will create a wrong vibration and it will in turn create negative vibration which will take over us and harm us.

It is said that the deity of the mantra also gets annoyed when someone chants their mantra wrongly. ( I herd from some people, can’t confirm but there is a logic in it so I believed it ).

It is also need to be understood that not all mantras suits everyone as mantra are categories in many groups and sub groups and sub sub groups as per the rupas of the mantra.

A perfect GURU is always needed to learn mantra japa / enchanting. A Guru decides which mantra will suit whom and how it is to be performed.

if you'd like to be a part of my taglist, fill out this form, dm me or comment on ONLY the rules post!/ requests open!

When you and Euijoo started your relationship, he was a true gentleman. Not to misunderstand, he is, to this day.

And he’s also really really adorable.

So smiley and cute and just a beam of sunshine, always.

But he’s all about giving, seeing his pretty girlfriend happy and grateful. And it does go on like this, even in bed too.

The thought of him having oral fixations crossed your mind countless times, and to be honest, you were somewhat right.

When; for the nth time, he always offers but never asks, you finally ask the question of why he declines and never accepts you the same treatment he’s been offering to you.

Soon enough, you learn that he’s shy.

He never had a blow job before. Hell, he was as innocent as a lamb. What if he does something wrong? What if you end up not enjoying it? Which would mean that he doesn’t either. He wants the best for you, and if you’re not having it, why doing it?

He was so cute about it, all flushed and embarrassed. Euijoo needed convincing and some deep reassuring really badly. But you were certain, seeing him enjoy himself would give you the same amount of satisfaction just as much as if he’d go down on you.

“Wait wait, wait! You- you don’t have to-”

“But I want to.”

“I’m serious- you don’t.. if- if you do that.. I can’t-… Just don’t do it..” He continuously stammered over his words, not even knowing how he should say his mind out loud without sounding like a total loser.

And taking matters into your own hands, pushing him to sit on the end of the bed, crawling between his thighs, which you forced apart, he was already hard.

The bulge already stretched the fabric of his sweatpants straight, even just the mere thought of you on him had his cock drool.

You opted not to tease the poor boy more than necessary, pulling off the confines just enough to reach what was needed.

His dick jotted out adorably, tapping against his stomach, he flinched as the cold air came in contact with his flushed, naked skin. A gasp slid through his teeth, immediately inching himself away.

He was average, nothing big or much, the tip red kissed, the white liquid already smeared obscenely over his gentle tummy. It was almost pretty, just like him.

“Y/N.. you- you don’t have to..” He always called you by your name when he was nervous, no babe or sweetheart. His heart thumped against his ribs, sweat beading on his forehead.

Before further protests could make their way out of him, hot, wet enveloped him, to which a jolt ran up his spine, making him hold back his words right away.

His thighs clenched, muscles subtly flexing all over his body, now being completely unable to form even a coherent word. Teeth sinking into his soft, pink bottom lip just to hold back his shameful groans.

Which actually doesn’t go as he planned, so instead he’s just a whole moaning and whining mess, mewling and panting from pleasure.

He totally sounds like a slut. But you live for it.

“Fuuuck..-” he’d shuddered, chanting ‘stop’ over and over again like a broken mantra. His knees jumped as his tip tickled the back of your throat.

He had never felt like this before. Everything was uncomfortably hot, your saliva dribbled all over his shaft, making quite the mess. It was overwhelming.

The words he spoke were against his actions, the way his fingers threaded through your head to not pull away but to push you and hold you against his cock made you grin to yourself.

“That’s much- too much- don’t-” Euijoo mewled, his face now burned, eyes barely open, lidded with heavy lust as he teetered at the edge of climax already.

Sensing his twitching and jerking cock in your hot mouth, you pulled off, giving one last slurp. Your right hand now steadily pumped him from base to tip, every flick of your wrist making his hips jerk up, your other hand landing firm on his thigh to hold him in place.

“D-don’t ever do that again..” He panted, sitting up fully when your grip suddenly went tight around him for a quick second, eliciting a hiss from the male.

You gave no response diving, back in, your cheeks hollowed as you quite literally sucked the living soul out of him. Euijoo screeched, head thrown back, eyes rolling to his skull.

And all you did was watch him in satisfaction. His tip beaded eagerly, feeling the salty fluid drip on your throat, encouraging you to make him combust totally.

“Stop looking at me- like that-” He struggled. “It’s embarrassing.. " But Euijoo didn’t even try to look away.

The weird, tugging hot sensation filled his stomach, his breath going ragged as he prepared himself to the new feeling washing over him. He can’t cum in your mouth.

Two of his hands were now desperately trying to ease you off, but your determination was firmer than his not-so-strong will. It was just courtesy, this boy was content and happy between your lips. Everything was so slick and warm and comforting.

Then out of the blue, he felt like lightning struck him, the scream-like sound he made bounced off the walls, ringing in your ears like music as he shot his load in waves into your mouth.

You gagged at the sudden climax, doing your best to keep up as he emptied himself and working him through. After completely spent, you were to see him slump back exhausted and not being able to even move his leg, but instead, with a few quick pants, he grabbed your face.

“Spit- don’t swallow, you hear me?-” He rushed, pushing your cheeks together, trying to force his cum out of you at the sight of it dribbling past your swollen lips. “Y/N, spit, spit!” He tried to sound as firm as he could, extending a palm right before you, encouraging you to empty your mouth on it.

You didn’t. You were stubborn as hell.

And if his face didn’t burn, now it’s literally on fire. Swallowing, you sent his load right down your throat, all while holding firm eye contact.

“God- I’m sorry- I- I didn’t mean to-..” Now tears were stinging the corner of his eyes, lips wobbled as they broke path for themselves on his flushed cheeks.

“But you liked it.. no?” The broken male just nodded weakly, incapable of replying to your smug smile.

“Now.. can I give it back?..”

“No, you can’t, baby..” You soothed him, caressing over his face, laying a soft kiss on his lips, a bit coppery taste hitting your taste buds as the gentle, thin skin broke from the way he held it between his teeth.

“But-”

“It’s alright..” Cooing gently, you leaned back to take a look down, his members still having occasional twitches, his legs quivering. The sight made you want to push him further. Even more debouched than he already was.

So you did that, both hands taking him in your warm hands, the slick and spit all over, forced him back to reality from the haziness, he was instantly pushing on your forearm and just straight up whining.

“Enough- that’s enough..” The male mewled, voice strained. He was shaking. Trembling at this point.

The exhaustion took over him, slumping back on the mattress and shutting his eyelids to rest, he shook his head again, confirming that he was indeed out.

And finally, you let the poor Euijoo rest, the rush of emotions was too much to handle.

After seeing him so beautifully free and so euphoric from your touch, it made you feel a soft, warm excitement run through your chest. Yet, you still had a bunch of opportunities to wreck him to the ground so with a sigh you let go, planting a last gentle kiss on his cheek.

Your Biggest Life Transformation: 8th House and Vedic Astrology

Vedic Astrology explains that the 8th house as one of the most mysterious and potent zones of your chart. It rules sudden transformations, deep karmic shifts, hidden energies, inheritance, occult wisdom, other people's money, and even themes of death and rebirth.

The 8th house lord carries this transformational energy and infuses it into the house it occupies. It reveals the area of life where you will undergo the most unexpected chances.

*Please note* You have to read the entire chart for accurate results. Its dignity (exalted, debilitated, combust), aspects, and conjunctions all matter.

1st House

Major changes will occur to your body, identity, and path in life. You may undergo complete personality overhauls. Depending on the strength of your planet, you may embrace this change boldly, or suffer through personal crises. Marriage and relationships can transform you radically.

2nd House

Sudden financial gains or losses. You might have erratic savings patterns, come into inheritance, or even experience family turmoil. You speak with impact. Your speech may even be prophetic. Your voice may carry weighty karmic energy.

3rd House

Risky communication, bold decisions, and intense karmic debts. You may suffer for other's karmas, not just your own. This is a tough placement. Suffering teaches detachment, and spirituality becomes refuge. Learn to avoid holding things too tightly.

4th House

Constant changes in home life and inner peace. Difficult to find emotional or physical stability. Moving or changing homes brings major shifts. Can gain through real estate, but marriage and family matters are turbulent. For spiritual growth, let go of attachment to comfort.

5th House

Your children or creativity will be sources of karmic transformation. You are likely drawn to occult studies, astrology, and even mantra chanting. Wealth, fame, or even deep inner power can come unexpectedly, especially if your past life karma is strong.

6th House

You face health, debts, enemies, or legal issues that force growth within you. You must learn how to manage distractions and simply your life. This placement often leads to healers, monks, or independent professionals. Solitude is one of your strengths.

7th House

Marriage changes everything. Often sudden marriages, divorces, or partnerships. You may marry someone completely different from your background or experience a life altering breakup. Your partner may be your mirror for transformation.

8th House

Makes you intensely private, mysterious, and capable of immense inner strength. Can be spiritual or self-destructive. Health, sexuality, and financial affairs are important areas. If benefic planet: occult mastery. If malefic: danger and turmoil.

9th House

Your beliefs, and philosophy are sources of upheaval and breakthroughs. This placement leads to foreign travels, cultural shifts, and questioning traditional belief systems. Marriage may suffer, but spiritual expansion is likely if you evolve past old dogma.

10th House

Expect job changes and a non-linear path. You gain through intense experiences. You may excel in research, psychology, astrology or finance. After 40, you may experience fame and success, especially if you work away from your birthplace.

11th House

Gains and social connections are unstable. You might gain through others, or lose because of betrayal. Network wisely. Friends can either push or destroy your dreams. Potential for multiple income streams and sudden wealth, but secrecy is key.

12th House

You may experience sudden foreign travel, mystical insights, or even escapist tendencies. Great for meditation, astral experiences, or working in isolation. Can also bring marriage across cultures and emotional detachment.

Part 6: Pone Ocean 🦋 (2/3)

- Moon Mantra does magic through chants and spoken spells mostly

- also i made him a psychologist instead of a priest since religion isn’t rlly a thing in the mlpverse, he’s very philosophical and psychoanalyzes a lot

- DIO’s original plan was to have someone rule by his side (cause yknow, you gotta have a right hand man), and that pony happened to be Mantra. Unfortunately since he was a pegasus they had to come up with some other way to make him into an alicorn instead of vampirification

- so then after DIO’s defeat, Mantra’s main goal is to become an alicorn first, then find a way to bring him back

Tender is the flesh

This is a request from a friend, I kinda twist it a little to my liking but yah, here's some food for the Two Time fans.

The Yan HC will have to wait, so sorry for the pause:(

Type: Angst

Warning: Cannibalism, depictions of gore, mental breakdowns, etc.

You swallowed back a gag as you forced yourself to choke down the rest of the flesh, eating every morsel until you felt sick. But your hunger still isn’t satiated, it never will, it was a curse brought upon you by The Spectre.

As you stood over the gory mess you made out of your feast, your mouth and torso covered in blood, you turned at the sound of giggles behind you… To see Two Time looking at you, then at the crimson-stained grass as they smiled manically.

…

You approached them, your pupils narrowed to paper-thin slits as you felt the famine gnawing inside of you. Your gaze flickers to their neck more than you wanted to admit. Your thoughts lash at you like a storm, while you dangle on a thread of guilt to stop yourself from ripping their throat out and feasting on the remnants of their carcass.

They just watched you and giggled as they seemed to notice the internal conflict in your mind. You can’t bear it you can’t bear it you can’t bear it…

STOPITSTOPITSTOPITSTOPIT

…

SPLAT

…

SPLAT

The silence was broken by the sound of flesh as you felt it tear underneath your clawed fingers, as you lunged in and made a bloody mess of them. Their heart between your fangs, their chest opened in the heat of your animosity, they... oh god oh god OH GOD...

You.. you didn't know

You didn't mean to..

The hunger is eating you alive

“I’m more than honored to be eaten by you, little lamb,” They said as they looked at you endearingly, as if you didn’t just rip them apart. Smiling at you as your eyes sting from the unshed tears.

“I’M SORRY I’M SORRY I’M SORRY…“ You sobbed brokenly as the light faded from their eyes. As you weep over damage that's already done. A monster slumped over its victim.

It has to be done, you assured yourself, chanting it like a mantra until you feel like going insane. It's the rules, isn't it? To be trapped in this hellhole and pursue an endless chase of cat and mouse.

It’s your fault. It’s all your fault.

You caused this.

And even as their body went limp underneath your grasp, even when you eat away their lifeless form, your hunger still isn’t satiated.

If this is your definition of ‘love’, you don’t think you will ever be full.

-----

I tried not to be as descriptive of the gore part for some of yall comfort, but yeah, it's my first time making a piece where Reader is mentally fucked up so I'm sorry if you find this offensive.

Don't worry they got ice cream after, trust, heh

I just realized the title matches that one movie also abt cannibalism, I didn't even know until my friend pointed it out

I'll make the Yan HC in my next post tho. The supports are next, I'm planning to write Noob and 7n7 along with the killers in my last post

Empress

Claude de Alger Obelia x F!Reader

Tw: sexual themes, obsession, implied kidnapping, arranged marriage and pregnancy

! Sexual themes ! 13+ !

Povtober 2023, Day 14 [Masterlist]

You, a second-in-line royal, neglected by your family. The audacity of your family to do so, as they were ruling over a small kingdom, completely insignificant with the comparison to the whole continent.

Your kingdom is only still standing cause of one condition made by the Obelian Empire. As long as you were to be engaged and later married to the Obelian Emperor, your country will continue to stand strong, with the help of a powerful empire.

However if the conditions were to be broken off, everyone in your land would suffer a great loss, being led to a war with a completely crushing opponent, that would weep out your homeland in a week, if they so desired.

And yet you still got mistreated, even as a peace keeper. One day, when you had enough of it, you run away, or at least planned to. Your escape plan seemed decent with a big chance for success, as your wing of the castle was almost empty, with most of the servants in your parents and older sibling side.

On the same day the said emperor came to your castle to talk about the marriage details. When you tried to sneak off through the royal gardens, you got stopped by some unknown man with blonde hair and blue jeweled eyes.

Tossing from side to side, desperately trying to run away from his grasp, chanting like a mantra that you wanted to leave this place forever. Eventually you became tired and with this man unrelenting grip, falling asleep in his arms.

The next moment you wake up, you're in bed with that mysterious man from the last night, being dangerously close to each other.

Later on you found out, you were taken to the Obelian Empire as a future empress, and the man you woke up to was the emperor.

And... You don't want to know what happened to your kingdom.. That's the safest option to choose!

Ever since your arrival you finally got treated like a real royalty, being drowned by all that valuables and attentiveness of the servants and guards.

The man, whose name you learned to be Claude, never really left your side ever since. You had a hard time warming up to him, even when he took you away from your family, his cold glare scaring you endlessly.

Shortly after your arrival, the marriage and coronation came shortly after. People welcoming you with open arms and a great amount of hope, that you will be able to tame their ruler.

Claude was very attentive to you, seeing your every little discomfort, swiftly disposing of its source. Example?

When you didn't like the food the chef cooked, and Claude ordering to execute him. That's the exact part when you step in, pleading him to spare this poor soul. To everyone's surprise he indeed listened to you and left this person alive.

From that day onward you earned the utmost respect and adoration from your subjects, being known for your benevolence towards anyone, no matter their status but also the ability to calm down the tyrant emperor.

But after a while of your reign with Claude came the question of the children. As a married man Claude has slayed all of his concubines, just for you, which left you scared and speechless, to discard someone's life so easily, how.. vicious.

As a ruler without concubines and children, he had to, well.. make some. Preferably with the empress, but some other women would do the thing too, no they wouldn't, he killed everyone seconds after these words left their mouths.

The fact that they had the audacity to suggest him making future heirs with someone else? Truly outrageous, they met an end they deserved.

To make all that nonsense quiet you don't have a choice and decide with your husband that it is time to make a royal heir. You're doing that only because it's a part of your royal duties, but don't worry your husband knows it and just pretends that you want it as much as he does.

During this time, he would constantly cling to you and if it were for him, you wouldn't need to stand up from the bed at all, which you rarely did anyway.

He threatened everyone with death if you were to leave your shared bedroom.

He greatly enjoyed your baby making process, taking in all of you. Your expression and sounds you made, he has it all detaily memorized.

Being even more intoxicated with you, and when you tried to muffle your moans, he got even harsher, considering it disrespecting the emperor and denying his wishes.

He became ruthless, telling you how lucky you are that he favors you, that anyone else in your place would be already dead. You should be thankful you haven't met this horrible end, and yet you still have the audacity to disobey him, truly bold of you, Empress.

Let him put you in your place, always beneath him.

If you do get pregnant, you'll forget what it was like to have a moment for yourself. Now you're under the watching gaze of Claude as he doesn't let you do anything at all. While always standing right by your side, watching you as your belly gets rounder with every passing week.

That child will be the next ruler of the Obelian Empire, it will be yours child, yours and his.

A living proof that you decided was forced to make love with him, a living proof that you were all his and he all yours, till the end of the time, saved in the history for all to read.

I went all out on this one which is weird since I had 0 thoughts after my sickness, but I'm not complaining🤭 This came out mostly 'you' centered, so I'm sorry to everyone who didn't liked that, it was an accident🙏 I tried making it more Claude centered by making this fic longer, to conceal the 'you' centered part, but I don't know how well I pulled that off 👀 Feedback is greatly appreciated💛

[talonabraxas]

"I am a spark from the Infinite. I am not flesh and bones. I am light. In helping others to succeed I shall find my own prosperity. In the welfare of others I shall find my own well-being. I am infinite. I am spaceless, I am tireless; I am beyond body thought, and utterance; beyond all matter and mind. I am endless bliss." - Paramahansa Yogananda Amitabha Buddha Talon Abraxas

Buddha Amitabha Mantra

The tale and genesis of Buddha Amitabha, intertwined with the essence of his very name, are profoundly woven into the fabric of Buddhist lore, especially amid the vast expanse of the Mahayana tradition. Known as the Buddha of Boundless Luminescence, Amitabha reigns as a celestial figure within the Mahayana scriptures. He stands at the heart of the Pure Land tradition, a distinctive path within Buddhism that embraces the vocal invocation of Amitabha's name in aspirations of rebirth within the blissful realms of Sukhavati. Here, in this sanctified haven, the promise of enlightenment awaits all.

The name "Amitabha" is derived from the Sanskrit words "amita," meaning "infinite," and "abha," meaning "light." Therefore, Amitabha translates to "Infinite Light," reflecting his association with the light that illuminates the entire universe, symbolising wisdom, compassion, and purity without bounds. His name means "infinite light" - amita (unmeasured, boundless, infinite) + ābha (splendour, light; colour, appearance, beauty - related to bha : light, lustre, splendour.

Within the sacred scrolls of Buddhist wisdom, such as the "Larger Sutra of Immeasurable Life" and the "Amitabha Sutra," unfolds the enchanting saga of Amitabha Buddha. This narrative traces back to an era when Amitabha, then a sovereign ruling with worldly power, chose the path of renunciation, embracing the monastic life as Dharmakara. Guided by the enlightened Lokesvararaja, Dharmakara embarked upon a profound journey of spiritual commitment, articulating forty-eight vows of immense significance. Among these, the eighteenth vow shines with unparalleled brilliance. It was here that Dharmakara pledged the creation of Sukhavati, a Pure Land free from the tendrils of suffering. In this sanctified realm, sentient beings are afforded the quintessential conditions for pursuing enlightenment. Through aeons spent in the diligent accumulation of merit and wisdom, Dharmakara's transformation into Amitabha Buddha was realised, and with it, the manifestation of the Pure Land—a testament to his unwavering vows.

Amitabha Buddha and the divine Sukhavati form the foundation of Pure Land Buddhism, a spiritual path that shines a guiding light towards enlightenment through the devout chanting of Amitabha's name, leading followers to the prospect of rebirth in the Pure Land. This practice, deeply resonant across a diverse spectrum of adherents, offers a direct and accessible pathway to spiritual awakening, particularly suited to lay followers and those daunted by the rigorous demands of traditional meditation and ethical disciplines. The lore of Amitabha Buddha encapsulates the promise of universal salvation, underscoring the immense power of faith and devotion. By invoking Amitabha with sincere and focused intention, it is believed that one can transcend the cycles of samsara and attain a blissful state of nirvana in the Pure Land, where enlightenment is not just a possibility but an expected outcome, marking a significant step in the seeker's spiritual voyage towards ultimate freedom.

The Mantra

OM AMI DEWA HRIH

The mantra "Om Ami Dewa Hrih" is a sacred invocation that embodies the essence and blessings of Amitabha Buddha, known for his boundless compassion and the infinite light that he represents. Here is an elucidation of its meaning, inspired by the sources we've explored:

Om: This syllable is a primordial sound, resonating with the essence of the universe. It signifies the embodiment of enlightenment, encompassing the enlightened body, speech, and mind. In our practice, it calls upon the universal energies, inviting the sacred to imbue our endeavour with grace.

Ami: This represents Amitabha Buddha himself, whose name means "Infinite Light". Amitabha's light is boundless, illuminating the darkest corners of existence and guiding beings towards liberation. In chanting "Ami", we invoke his presence, asking for his light to fill our beings, dispelling ignorance and illuminating our path.

Dewa: Symbolising the celestial realms, Dewa connects us to the transcendent qualities Amitabha embodies. It is a reminder of the potential for purity and bliss that lies within us, echoing the promise of rebirth in Amitabha's Pure Land for those who earnestly seek it. This part of the mantra helps us to align with our true nature, aspiring towards a state of divine grace and peace.

Hrih: Known as the seed syllable of compassion, Hrih is the heart of Amitabha's mantra. It embodies the essence of compassion, a fundamental attribute of Amitabha Buddha. Chanting "Hrih" nurtures our innate compassion, encouraging it to blossom fully. It is through compassion that we connect deeply with all beings, sharing in the light of Amitabha and fostering a world of kindness and understanding.

Together, "Om Ami Dewa Hrih" is a powerful mantra that not only invokes the blessings of Amitabha Buddha but also aligns us with the qualities he embodies. By chanting this mantra, we cultivate infinite light and compassion within ourselves, guiding our journey towards enlightenment and aiding in the transcendence of suffering. It is a beacon of hope, illuminating the path to the Pure Land, where peace and bliss prevail.

A Simple Visualisation Practice to Accompany the Mantra

Om: As you chant "Om," visualise a radiant white light descending from the cosmos, enveloping you in a protective and purifying glow. This light represents the essence of enlightenment, connecting you to the universal energies. Feel this light dissolving all obstacles within your heart and mind, clearing the path for healing.

Ami: With the syllable "Ami," imagine the infinite light of Amitabha Buddha shining brightly in the distance, a warm, resplendent red sun. Gradually, this light approaches, enveloping you in its comforting glow. This is the light of wisdom, compassion, and boundless love. Allow this light to penetrate deeply into your being, healing all wounds and filling you with a profound sense of peace.

Dewa: As you utter "Dewa," envision the light expanding in all directions, transforming your surroundings into Amitabha's Pure Land, a realm of ultimate bliss and beauty. In this sacred space, you are free from suffering and negativity. Every element around you radiates joy and tranquillity, reminding you of your true nature and the luminous reality that you are part of.

Hrih: Finally, with "Hrih," see a lotus flower blooming in your heart, its petals unfolding to reveal a radiant jewel that emits a powerful, compassionate light. This light reaches out to all beings, offering healing and liberation from suffering. Feel your connection with all life, as your compassion joins with Amitabha's infinite compassion, creating ripples of love throughout the universe.

What is Badhaka planet in Vedic astrology? What is its significance?

In Vedic astrology, the term Badhaka (literally meaning "obstacle" or "hindrance") refers to a specific planet that acts as a potential troublemaker or obstructive force in a person's life, depending on the ascendant (Lagna). The concept of the Badhaka planet is primarily related to the principles of Jaimini astrology, and it holds significance for understanding challenges or delays in achieving specific goals.

How Is the Badhaka Planet Determined?

The Badhaka planet is identified based on the ascendant (Lagna) and the classification of houses in a chart:

For Movable Signs (Chara Rashis): Aries, Cancer, Libra, Capricorn

The 11th house lord is the Badhaka planet.

Example: For Aries Lagna, Aquarius is the 11th house, so Saturn becomes the Badhaka planet.

For Fixed Signs (Sthira Rashis): Taurus, Leo, Scorpio, Aquarius

The 9th house lord is the Badhaka planet.

Example: For Taurus Lagna, Capricorn is the 9th house, so Saturn becomes the Badhaka planet.

For Dual Signs (Dwiswabhava Rashis): Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces

The 7th house lord is the Badhaka planet.

Example: For Gemini Lagna, Sagittarius is the 7th house, so Jupiter becomes the Badhaka planet.

What Does the Badhaka Planet Represent?

The Badhaka planet is considered a source of obstacles, delays, or hindrances in life. Its placement and influence in the natal chart can create challenges in the areas of life it governs. However, it doesn’t always act negatively; under certain conditions, it can lead to growth through challenges or be neutralized by benefic influences.

Obstructions and Delays:

The Badhaka planet might cause delays in achieving success, fulfilling desires, or attaining goals.

Health Issues:

If the Badhaka planet is associated with the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses, it may bring health problems or accidents.

Relationship Challenges:

When linked to the 7th house, the Badhaka planet can cause relationship struggles, misunderstandings, or delayed marriages.

Spiritual Growth:

Obstacles caused by the Badhaka planet often lead to introspection and spiritual development.

Karmic Lessons:

It is often seen as a trigger for karmic lessons that one must face and overcome.

Factors That Modify Its Influence

Benefic Influence:

If the Badhaka planet is aspected by or in conjunction with benefic planets like Jupiter or Venus, its negative effects may reduce significantly.

House Placement:

The Badhaka planet’s influence depends on which house it occupies:

In the 1st, 4th, 7th, or 10th houses, it might create visible struggles.

In the 6th, 8th, or 12th houses, hidden challenges or health issues might arise.

Dasha Periods:

The effects of the Badhaka planet are particularly noticeable during its dasha (planetary period) or antardasha (sub-period).

Strength and Dignity:

If the Badhaka planet is exalted or in its own sign, its negative effects may reduce, and it can act as a source of constructive challenges.

Remedies for Badhaka Planet

Mantras:

Chant mantras associated with the Badhaka planet or its ruling deity.

Example: For Saturn as the Badhaka planet, chant the Shani mantra or the Hanuman Chalisa.

Charity and Donations:

Donate items related to the Badhaka planet on its specific day.

Example: Donate black sesame seeds, iron, or black cloth for Saturn.

Strengthening Lagna Lord:

Strengthening the ascendant lord can reduce the negative impact of the Badhaka planet.

Worship:

Offer prayers to deities associated with the planet. For example:

Worship Lord Shiva for Saturn.

Worship Lord Vishnu for Jupiter.

Gemstones:

the worship of “if they wanted to, they would”: modern mantras and emotional absolutes an essay about oversimplification, protective certainty, and the ache of wanting things that are not that simple

we like things to be clean. sharp-edged. easy to hold in our mouths without choking. we like rules we can chant when we’re crying into our phones, and truths we can fold into our pockets like they’ll protect us from ever being hurt again. “if they wanted to, they would” — it’s one of those truths. neat. decisive. a modern gospel of self-worth that feels like tough love in a world full of unanswered texts.

and god, it helps sometimes. it feels like armour. a boundary. a reminder that we should not have to beg for crumbs or chase people who keep walking away.

but sometimes, i wonder if it’s also a little too easy. a little too blunt for something as intricate as longing. because people are complicated. and love is messy. and “if they wanted to, they would” doesn’t always account for the whole story.

certainty as self-preservation

we crave certainty because we’ve been let down. because we’ve waited too long for someone who never showed up. because the idea that they just didn’t want to is less painful than wondering why they couldn’t.

so we turn it into gospel. we say, “if they cared, they’d be here.” we say, “love isn’t that hard.” we say, “don’t make excuses for people.” and we mean it. and we need it.

because the grey area — the maybe, the almost, the “i love you but i’m scared” — is exhausting. and sometimes we need a hard line so we can finally walk away.

but even as we walk, a part of us whispers: it’s not that simple.

what if they wanted to… and still couldn’t?

what if they did want to? what if they tried? what if they thought of you every morning but didn’t know how to say it without stammering?

what if they were healing from something they never named? what if love, for them, was always shaped like apology?

we’re told that love shows up. and yes — it should. but some people don’t know how to show up. some people were never taught. some people are trying, but it looks like silence.

and that doesn’t mean you should wait for them. it doesn’t mean you owe them anything. it just means they’re human.

the danger of absolutes

emotional absolutes feel good until they start slicing into the wrong people. not everyone who fails to text back is heartless. not everyone who loves clumsily is cruel.

sometimes, people disappear because they’re drowning. sometimes, people care deeply and still hurt you. sometimes, people don’t know how to give what they’ve never been given.

and while it’s true that you deserve effort — that you deserve to be chosen — it’s also true that not everything is so black and white.

sometimes love is a spectrum, not a switch.

compassion doesn’t mean self-abandonment

it’s okay to understand someone’s limits without accepting less than you need. it’s okay to say, “i get it — but i still deserve more.”

because nuance doesn’t mean tolerating neglect. it just means loving people without turning them into villains. it means making room for softness without erasing your own.

you can leave, and still hope they heal. you can close the door, and still believe they cared in their own broken way.

you can protect your heart without hardening it.

modern mantras in a messy world

we’re building our emotional vocabularies from memes and tweets and out-of-context therapy buzzwords. and it’s beautiful, in a way — this collective effort to understand ourselves better.

but sometimes, we cling to slogans because we’re scared. scared to admit that love is rarely clear-cut. scared to admit that sometimes we don’t even know what we want.

“if they wanted to, they would” is a mantra. and like all mantras, it’s both a truth and a simplification. it’s a shield. a comfort. a way to stop crying at 3 a.m.

but it’s not the whole picture.

wanting shouldn’t have to be a performance

sometimes people want to. they just don’t know how. sometimes people love you, but the love is buried under fear or shame or the thousand unsaid things they never learned how to unlearn.

and yes — you deserve someone who tries anyway. who pushes past the fear. who shows up.

but the absence of action doesn’t always mean the absence of feeling.

sometimes it just means: they couldn’t. not now. maybe not ever. and that’s hard. and that’s sad. and that doesn’t make you unworthy.

when walking away is still an act of love

leaving doesn’t have to be angry. it can be soft. it can say: i know you care, but this isn’t enough. it can say: i love you, but i need to love me more.

you can believe someone wanted to, and still choose yourself. you can honour what was real, even if it didn’t last.

because walking away doesn’t always mean you’ve given up. sometimes it means you finally understand.

you don’t need absolutes to heal

you don’t need to convince yourself they never cared. you don’t need to rewrite the whole story just to survive the ending.

sometimes, healing looks like holding the paradox: they loved me, and still hurt me. they wanted to, and didn’t. i miss them, and i’m better without them.

there’s strength in softness. in nuance. in staying open-hearted even after you’ve been broken.

you are not hard to love

you are not difficult. you are not too much. you are not unworthy just because someone didn’t know how to love you properly.

you deserve effort, yes — but you also deserve grace.

and maybe next time, someone will want to — and will.

but until then, you are allowed to be soft. to be hopeful. to believe in a kind of love that doesn’t need to be simplified. scribbled while starry-eyed by, R.

God Obliterating Vajra is the Southeast Asian Naruto Disco Elysium Weird Wuxia web serial you didn’t know you needed. Imagine if Naruto’s ninja-world progression collided with Disco Elysium’s brain-melting philosophy, then got doused in a monsoon of Southeast Asian Hindu-Buddhist mysticism and anti-capitalist rebellion. That’s this story.

Swap “chakra” for Sapi (the Mystic Fires latent in every person) and “qi” for Nihawa (the vital winds of all things), and you’ve got a world where power isn’t just cultivated—it’s ritualized.

The vibe:

Naruto meets Sword Saints: The protagonist isn’t just a martial artist—they’re a Sword-Mantrika, weaving tantras into blade strikes and chanting mantras sharper than steel.A scrappy, underdog protagonist (think "ninja meets ascetic monk") climbs a power ladder in a world where martial arts and dharma-fueled abilities replace chakra. But instead of Rasengans, they’re throwing vajrastras that shatter illusions and corporate greed.

Disco Elysium’s existential spice: he MC doesn’t just fight enemies—they battle their own inner voices, trauma, and philosophical contradictions. Think skill trees replaced by Buddhist precepts and dialogue choices that ask, “Do I dismantle this corrupt god-king… or dismantle myself first?” The MC’s progression isn’t just about leveling up—it’s about unraveling. Understanding Cultivations, sometimes known as Daan. Daan means Way or Path but it also means Hundred, for there are Myriads.

Southeast Asian Weird Wuxia: The world is a fever dream of Southeast Asian spiritcore—floating ketjak-dancing demons, jungles haunted by pontianak spirits, and cities ruled by merchant-gods hoarding karma like crypto. Combat is "sword saints" and "drunken muay Thai mystics" channeling ancestral rage through ritual tattoos. Battles erupt between Mystic Martial Artists who bend reality via tantric rituals—think monks using wayang kulit shadow puppetry to trap souls, or warriors whose sword forms invoke the fury of naga deities.

Why it slaps:

Sapi & Nihawa > Chakra & Qi: Forget solo cultivation—here, Sapi is cultivated not just through personal development but also in cultivating community. Nihawa is trained through breathing techniques but can also be stolen back from colonialist earth-pillagers who wield the Earth-Nihawa and use it to power their Karma Engines. Power is political.

Tantra-core combat: Fight scenes blend Hindu-Buddhist tantras with Southeast Asian flair: Spear-Tantrikas perform blood rituals to summon pontianak spirits, while Sword-Mantrikas duel in trance-states fueled by betel nut and bodhicitta.

Southeast Asian flavor: Battles blend silat martial arts with reality-warping mantras, like a kris dagger that cuts through timelines or a boss fight against a privatized rain god charging villagers for monsoon rights.

This is spiritcore maximalism—where compassion is as vital as swordplay, bodhicitta is the ultimate “stats” boost, and every ritual is a middle finger to modern greed. Imagine a wayang kulit play written by Frantz Fanon, with a soundtrack of electric gamelan riffs and clashing kris daggers. If you’re into web serials that weaponize spirituality, read it here and set your heart ablaze. 🌩️⚔️🙏

Hi!!! Was wondering if you know how to figure out what year an individual is getting married? I was able to find out the potential year an individual will meet their spouse, but cannot for the life of me find out marriage years. Lots of love as always 💓✨🫶☕️

Hello,You can check this post . I describe something similar here. You can check my solar return indicators too. And also check the Boda asteroid aspects and position in solar return chart. For example Boda in 7th house or in harmonious aspect with Jupiter or Venus. Check Hera asteroid too.

If Jupiter ,Venus, saturn transiting over 7th house, 5th house, 9th house and 11th house could also bring marriage opportunities. We are considering 9th and 11th house, cause 9th house is ruled by Jupiter and it's called house of fortune and 11th house is about gains and social connections.

interestingly, if you read veluchamy S and Karuna Moorthy N. reasearch in this topic (this is a Vedic concept). They said that sun and most planets transit over lagna(rising )or the 7th house on the Day of marriage cause almost all societies during marriage ceremony mantras are chanted and prayers are read in order to invoke the supreme being and make him witness to this solemn ceremony and to seek his blessings.

But, first check if you have yoga of delaying marriage or late marraige. Then according to that check the transits and all. If you have PUNARBU YOGA then this cause strongly delay in marriage. Whenever there's connection between saturn and moon it forms this yoga ( based on veluchamy S and Karuna Moorthy N. research ).

Rukmini Tirtha

. , ₊˚ — : The Divine Birth of Rukmini : In the grand kingdom of Vidarbha, ruled by King Bhishmaka, a celestial event unfolded. His second child, a daughter, was born with an ethereal glow. As the royal chamber filled with joy, an unembodied ethereal voice echoed through the air :

☆﹒ꕀ ; "O Bhishmaka, this girl must be given in marriage to a Four-Armed One born on Earth."

Astonished by the divine prophecy, the king and his queen rejoiced. Learned Brāhmaṇas were summoned, sacred mantras were chanted, and the child was given the name Rukmini, for she bore a golden freckle from birth—a mark of her divine destiny﹒﹒✿﹒The royal family, overwhelmed with happiness, invited kinsmen and sages from far and wide to witness the auspicious ceremonies celebrating the birth of this divine princess.

꒰꒰🧸﹒﹕Rukmini’s Betrothal to Shishupala

As Rukmini grew into a maiden of extraordinary beauty and grace, many noble kings sought her hand in marriage. Among them was Śiśupāla, the prince of Chedi. His father, Damaghoṣa, believing the prophecy referred to his son (also called Caturbhujā, meaning "Four-Armed"), approached Bhīṣmaka & proposed the match. Blinded by political considerations and unaware of the deeper truth, Bhishmaka agreed. The wedding preparations commenced, and invitations were sent across kingdoms. Among the invited were Balarāma and Keśava (Krishna), the mighty scions of the Yādava clan.

⌣ ﹒ ✿ ﹕ The Grand Wedding and Krishna’s Arrival

As the wedding day approached, Rukmini, adorned in bridal finery, stepped out of the city at dusk to worship Goddess Ambikā. At that very moment, Krishna, disguised as a cowherd, appeared before her. Their eyes met, and the divine love ignited. Krishna turned to Balarāma and whispered, "O dear brother, this precious jewel of a bride must be taken away."

──★ ' The Daring Abduction ' ⭑.ᐟ

As the royal guards prepared for the ceremony, Krishna swiftly lifted Rukmini onto his chariot. A fierce battle erupted between Krishna & the assembled kings, including Rukmi, her brother, who fought to uphold the arranged marriage. Despite their efforts, Krishna emerged victorious. Even Rukmi, who had arrogantly opposed the divine union, was defeated but spared by Krishna’s grace. In humility, Rukmi acknowledged Krishna’s supremacy & blessed their marriage

.𖥔 ݁ ˖╭ ┆ “O Lord Keshava, unlucky and sinful that I am, I had hit your chest with arrows. It behoves you to forgive me. Formerly Janaki was given over to you by Janaka himself. Now, O Lord of Devas, Rukmini is offered unto you by me. Marry her duly in accordance with the injunctions”

꒰ ⊹ ࣪ The Divine Blessings & Rukmini Tirtha ˖ ୨୧

As Krishna & Rukmini’s sacred union was completed, celestial sages & Devas rejoiced. The divine presence sanctified the land where these events transpired, making it a Tirtha (holy pilgrimage site). According to the Skanda Purana, this site—now known as Rukmini Tirtha—became a place of immense spiritual power.

⋆˚࿔ Bathing here on auspicious lunar days grants freedom from the cycle of rebirth.

⋆˚࿔ Offerings of gold, silver, and sacred gifts bring divine blessings.

⋆˚࿔ Those who merely see the trees at this Tirtha are freed from their sins.

⋆˚࿔ Devotees who observe fasts, circumambulate the site, & worship Bala - Kesava attain moksha.

• ═ ━⊹ ⊱ ☆ ⊰ ⊹━ ═ • ═ ━⊹ ⊱ ☆ ⊰ ⊹━ ═ •

Even today, Rukmini Tirtha (on Narmadā) remains a testament to divine love, devotion, and Krishna’s promise to his devotees—granting liberation to all who seek his grace.

According to all the known rules of arcana, this spell should produce a perfectly random item every time it is cast. A number of superstitions persist, however, including some who believe that the spell somehow has a sense of humour, and others who insist that chanting a certain mantra can guarantee a useful item.

giggling bc i know she says it whenever she can

even if it doesn’t fit in the sentence

- cole anon

It had been happening all week.

Ever since Matthew’s postgame interview went viral—where he’d grinned into the mic and said, “I just gotta park my big fat ass in front of the net”—Hadley had decided that ass was her new favorite word.

And she loved using it.

Everywhere.

All the time.

No matter what.

Breakfast:

“Hadley, do you want pancakes or waffles?” Delilah asked sweetly.

Hadley blinked up from her high chair, syrup dripping down her chin.

“Ass!” she announced proudly.

Delilah dropped her fork. “No, baby. Pancakes or waffles.”

Hadley grinned wider. “Ass pancakes!”

Delilah groaned and dropped her forehead to the table.

In the car:

“Look, Hads!” Delilah pointed out the window. “It’s the CN Tower!”

Hadley clapped her hands excitedly. “ASS tower!”

Dallas and Miro howled with laughter in the backseat while Delilah silently questioned every life choice that brought her to this moment.

At the grocery store:

“Hadley, what kind of apples should we get?”

Hadley considered it seriously.

Then pointed.

“ASS apples!” she shouted loud enough for half the produce aisle to turn and stare.

Delilah gave a tight, mortified smile to the judgmental old lady by the bananas. “She’s… quoting her father.”

The old lady frowned. “Sounds about right.”

Back home that night, after tucking the older two into bed, Delilah stood in the kitchen while Hadley toddled around the island chanting, “Big fat ass! Big fat ass! Big fat ass!” like it was a sacred mantra.

When Matthew finally walked through the door, sweaty from practice, he blinked at the scene.

“What’s going on?” he asked, setting his bag down.

Hadley ran to him full speed, tiny arms lifted high.

“Daddy! Big fat ass!!!”

Matthew wheezed laughing. Hands on his knees, full-body laughing.

Delilah crossed her arms. “You. This is YOUR fault.”

“She’s just quoting greatness,” Matthew said, still laughing. “You can’t get mad at her for being a team player.”

Delilah smacked his arm. “She’s two, Matt. Two! She called the grocery store manager’s apples ‘ass apples’ today!”

Matthew wiped tears from his eyes. “Honestly? Proud of her.”

Delilah glared. “Fix it. Before she says it in front of my mother. Or worse—on TV.”

Hadley, in the meantime, was trying to climb onto the counter while chanting, “ASS! ASS! ASS!” like a tiny sorcerer trying to summon something.

Matthew picked her up, swung her in the air, and said, “Okay, tiny menace. New rule. We say ‘butt’ now. Buuutttt.”

Hadley stared at him seriously.

Then yelled: “BUTT ASS!”

Delilah slid down the cabinets to sit on the floor. “I’m moving out.”

Matthew just kissed her forehead, still laughing.

“Welcome to playoffs, baby.”

Avalokiteśvara Talon Abraxas

"Om Mani Padme Hum"

Avalokiteśvara Mantra Meaning

Oṃ, as I’ve explained elsewhere, has only a mystical meaning — suggesting primordial reality, or the potential for enlightenment that pervades the universe.

Mani means jewel.

Padma means lotus (why the form in the mantra is “padme” is explained below).

Huṃ, like Oṃ, has no conceptual meaning.

Both jewels and lotuses are important symbolic elements in Buddhism.

Jewels represent what is most precious, so that Buddhists worship not just the Buddha, but the three jewels (Buddha, Dharma, or the teachings, and Sangha, or spiritual community). and jewels were considered indestructible, which made them an excellent symbol for eternal truths.

The lotus represents purity, in terms of how the enlightened mind is untouched by the negativity of the world. Just as the lotus can exist in muddy water without being soiled, so an enlightened being can exist in an impure world without becoming contaminated by its greed, hatred, or delusion.

The mantra is often “translated” as “Hail to the jewel in the lotus” but the Sanskrit simply can’t mean that.

The central element, manipadme, seems to be a name, Manipadma (“The Jewel Lotus One”) with the -e ending signifying the vocative case, meaning that Manipadma — is being invoked (“O Jewel Lotus One”).

But if this is the case, then according to the rules of classical Sanskrit, then Manipadma would have to be a feminine figure. And Avalokiteśvara is male.

However, if the mantra was originally in a non-Sanskrit language with different grammatical rules, and the vocative -e ending was applicable in that language to a masculine figure, then Manipadma would simply be another name for Avalokiteshvara.

The mantra of Avalokitesvara would then mean “Oṃ, O Jewel Lotus One, Hūṃ” — the “Jewel Lotus One” being an alternative name for Avalokitesvara himself.
