25 May 2017 marks the appearance day of Lord Saturn (Shani Jayanti). Of the 9 Planets (navagraha) Saturn is the karmic accountant; he brings us the fruits of our past mistakes. He teaches us the lessons we need to learn this life time. Typically Saturn rules grief, separation, obstacles, delays and disappointments, sorrow, hard work, chronic disease and old age, longevity and death. His nature is conservative, introverted, dutiful. Ultimately, Saturn cultivates in us the desire for final liberation, emancipation from the wheel of birth and death - moksha.

When we have to endure protracted trials in our lives, it is often the case that planet Saturn is behind the scenes orchestrating these experiences. One of the most potent and effective remedies for problems due to Saturn is Grand Rudra Yagya. Grief, long term problems and health conditions - difficult situations that won't resolve or move forward can be shifted with Grand Rudra Yagya performed on May 25th.

Lord Shiva: Supreme Abode

 Lord Shiva is the supreme abode - the Supreme Self. He is our deepest meditation - the eternal witness: our own least excited state of non dual awareness - pure consciousness. The unmanifest source of creation - the home/Unified Field of all the laws of nature, Shiva is the silent, eternal, non changing source of all change and diversity.

When the mind identifies with that state of least excitation of awareness, the experience is that of profound peace. World peace is a natural by-product when that supremely auspicious level of natural law is awakened in world consciousness.

Rudra - Redemptive aspect of Shiva

 When that most auspicious silence becomes lively and dynamic - it is known as Rudra: the redeemer. Rudra is vibrating silence. Rudra purifies by dissolving flaws and imperfections back into their unmanifest state: bringing everything 'home' to rest, back to its state of least excitation or quiescence or peace.
Rudra and Saturn

 There are 11 Rudras or redemptive aspects of Shiva. Shani (the planet Saturn) is one of them. Of the 9 planets, Shani/Saturn is the teacher of life's lessons, the bringer of karmic retribution. Shani rules grief, obstacles, separation, sorrow, delays, chronic disease, hard work and old age.
