Marakesh

An astrologically life-threatening planetary period — during such a period, a genuine Rudraksha bead may split in two, absorbing the fatal affliction onto itself to shield the wearer.

Batuk Bhairav Brahma Kavach with a sankalp against marak dasha and accident risk
The speaker says this kavach is extremely powerful in itself and gives its effect at once. If a Marakesh Dasha or antardasha is running in one's birth chart or lagna chart, or any marakesh influence raises the fear of mishaps and accidents, one should take a Sankalpa on that subject and recite the kavach; that too gives protection.
A guru-given mala or rudraksha breaking when abhichara strikes
The speaker says that if you wear a Mala received from your Guru or from some siddha person, it will certainly break when an abhichara process is done on you; a bead may break or the whole mala may break, and a large auspicious Rudraksha bead you wear can split into two pieces. If a Marakesh influence is on according to your horoscope, he says, it will surely break at that time, when death-like suffering is due; the rudraksha, being a part of Rudra, takes it on itself first and protects the person.
White clothing for the Shani Maha Mala Mantra and why black or blue is not prescribed
The speaker says to wear ordinary white clothes of one colour for this japa, whose border may be tinted light yellow with haldi, for Shani's sattvik form. Blue or black is not right for everyone: wearing it is a separate matter, and if Shani is your Marakesh and you do japa in black, the effect will be neither positive nor negative, depending on his strength and the house he sits in. Since the video gives common instructions for all, he says, white is safe.
Budh is a saumya graha whom japa pleases; only the substances are to be dropped
Suppose Budh graha is very bad for you, he says — though Budh very seldom gives anyone bad fruit in the manner discussed; even so he can become marakesh, it is not that he cannot, but there are many rules by which he is held to give only good fruit and is counted among the saumya grahas. Now suppose someone tells you that by the ill effect of Budh you are getting a skin allergy, a problem, a skin disease, or that your intellect is being confused, and that Budh is the cause and Budh is neecha. Then if you do japa and smaran of his name, he will be pleased and do kripa only; he will not increase his ill effect.
Should one set an upper limit on the number of paths?
Never apply the rule that we will do only 100 paths, only 1000, only 11000, only three months — no. Do as much as possible. If you master only this, there is in it a way out of bhoot, pret, pishaach, nazar, drishti and shatru badha, and of obstacles to wealth, of a job not coming, of the ill effects of Rahu, Ketu, Shani and cruel grahas, and of the durayoga of the marakesh.
Which devi of the Durga kavach is named for the protection of the lifespan?
Varahi is named for the protection of ayu. If in the janma kundali the mahadasha or antardasha of the marakesh and the like is running and some problem of apghat has arisen — accidents happening again and again, injuries being taken, a feeling that some such mishap may occur — then in such a state, for the protection of your lifespan, you should do a specific pujan of Bhagavati Varahi.
Does it matter if Surya is marak in one's birth chart?
Whether according to the birth chart Surya is marak for you or something else, there is no difficulty from that, the speaker says: no difficulty is going to arise from doing puja-paath. So that Surya's grace may be properly obtained, whenever a Ravi Pushya nakshatra falls, even a single day's special pujan or anushthan of Surya Narayan at that time brings his grace.
Why does a kundali show a maraka period at all?
The speaker says akal mrityu is not written in the kundali and in the karma — it is a yoga, and it is not necessary that it belong to this karma, to this birth of yours. When a marakesh mahadasha is running and a jyotishi says a death is possible or such an accident may occur, that does not mean it has been written that it will happen: the kundali exists precisely so that you may be warned and may correct it.
How is a yoga of a big accident in the kundali cut?
The speaker calls it a simple matter: whichever graha is causing the yoga of an accident to be shown, whichever marakesh whose mahadasha is running — for that, accordingly, you should first do the upaya. If it is the marakesh, then pacify them by having daan and japa done. And secondly, if they are your yoga-karaka and also the cause of the accident, then do the japa and kavach japa related to them and wear it as well; and you may wear the ratna, the rudraksha, the yantra and the kavach related to the grahas that are your protectors.
What should be done for a graha problem such as a Shani mahadasha?
If a problem relating to a graha is running — you know that a Shani mahadasha is on, that he is marakesh and your situation is about to worsen or has already worsened — then at such a time, along with the pujan of Bhagwan Shiva in Savan, do japa of Shani Dev's mala mantra or the Shani Ashtak in the Shiva temple itself, for his pleasure.
Guru and Shani in the seventh of a Vrishchik lagna — why is experience delayed?
Kaustubh Joshi ji asks: Guru and Shani are in the seventh of his chart, a jyotishi said this is why experience in sadhana is delayed, and his lagna is Vrishchik. The speaker answers that the adhipati of Vrishchik lagna is Mangal. Now Shani Deva is in the seventh bhava; for him Shani has already become a strong marakesh just by that. He is seated in the rashi of Shukra Deva, all right — but in the seventh he does become a strong marakesh.
Which kundali doshas does this Shravan anushthan address?
Now in anyone's kundali, though the Doshas may be a thousand, if you are performing this anushthan in this Shravan then Bhagavan Shiva grants relief from those doshas — this Shravan and then the next Shravan, and you will see the difference yourself. Suppose in the birth kundali some so-called dosha is present: Marakesh is running, there is Kaal Sarp Dosh, or here a sarp dosha attaches on account of the panchamesh, and many kinds of such subjects. For all those things the abhishek of Bhagavan Shiva is supreme.
What is the remedy when a marakesh Shukra dasha is running and health is bad?
A listener says the Shukra dasha is running, that Shukra is the marakesh, and that health is very bad. He says: at the very least, give daan on the day of Friday. And if nothing else, do a bhandara. There will be no shortage of money for the bhandara — how much money is needed? Not much, brother, ten rupees. For ten rupees buy sugar boora, or bring a packet, a hundred grams of sugar, and every Friday take it to such a place and put it out for the ants, where they will be safe and nobody will crush them.
Gems are worn by the lagna kundli, not by the symptom
The speaker says tantra practitioners load their fingers with all kinds of gem rings, but ratna vigyan is a discipline with its own maryada: gems on the four fingers are worn according to the lagna kundli, though some astrologers also prescribe by the chandra kundli. The fashion of giving a silver-set pearl to anyone with mental unrest — which tantriks also copy without looking at the kundli — may give peace for a few days, after which the life falls apart, and if the Moon is the marakesh in that kundli, even death-like suffering can follow.
Neelam and moti together make a vish yoga: the Cancer-lagna example
The speaker takes a Cancer-lagna kundli: the Moon is its lord and chief deity, the Moon's friends are the Sun and Jupiter, and the lords of the eighth, second and sixth houses are the marakesh. If in that chart someone wears a neelam for Shani, and also a moti because the Moon is good, the two together create a vish yoga — Shani and the Moon combined make vish yoga. Add more gems on the remaining fingers and the life begins to fall apart. Gems, stones and colours are not to be taken lightly; not everything is pakhand, though excess of anything is.
Donate the marakesh planets, wear the friend planets
The speaker says one need not go as far as choosing colours by the day, but one should follow what suits one. Jyotish says: donate the planets that are your marakesh and do puja-path to pacify them, and wear the gems and colours of the planets that are friends according to your lagna. Tantra practitioners without this knowledge get you to donate what should be worn and wear what should be donated; it may help for a while, then gives the reverse effect, and the blame falls on the stone.
What does Chandra and Rahu's grahan yoga in the ninth house indicate?
Told of a grahan yoga of Chandra and Rahu in the ninth house with Vrischik lagna, the speaker says that then Rahu becomes your marakesh. It cannot be told merely like this, but as to the remedy — a pitr dosha arises directly, and even more than pitr there is the presence of a matri-related dosha. Serve your own mother. The ninth is the bhagya bhava and also the bhava of dharma, so do the seva and puja of Bhagwati and Shiva ji as much as you can. Since it is Vrischik, your Mangal Dev should be good; always keep Mangal auspicious.
What should someone who is running markesh do?
Those people who say markesh is running — the pandit ji has said it, the jyotish maharaj has said that trouble can arise in markesh too — they should perform Ganga snan and the rest, and standing in Ganga ji should do japa of the ishta mantra and whatever else has been prescribed. By that the dosha of their markesh too becomes pacified, and there is shanti of all the nakshatras and all the grahas.
Will a retrograde Guru in the fifth house of a Tula lagna obstruct progeny?
Asked whether a retrograde Guru in the fifth house in a Tula lagna will create obstruction in obtaining progeny, he says that in Tula there will be some difficulty. Whose dasha and antardasha are running — that one's kripa; see whether it is the marakesh or a friend of the lagnesh, and accordingly have the daan of Guru and his shanti performed, for the sake of obtaining kripa.
