Question received from Smt. V. Meenakshi, Hyderabad, based on SB 2.4.17, Aug 24:



If according to astrology a particular person has some doshas then he does rituals or poojas to minimize the effects, but what should a devotee do and how is he affected by these doshas, if any?




Answer from HH Bhanu Swami:

By bhakti all karmas are removed so nothing really has to be done. if one wants to take remedial measures astrologically then worship of the avataras representing the planets is recommended over worship of devatas.

 

Dear devotees,



Hare Krishna! Please accept my greetings and the blessings of Lord
Krishna.

I have great pleasure in informing you that now daily we are uploading the Srimad Bhagavatham lecture given by HH Bhanu Swami Maharaj, at our temple in Injambakkam, on our website. Please visit the link below to see the SB text, translation and purport and to hear the MP3 audio. If you find the recording not very clear, please bear with us until we improve on the service.

At present two lectures have already been uploaded. As we do not have much web-space, we will be storing only two lectures at a time. So, please make sure you are prompt in hearing/saving the file.

At present we are reading from the second canto of the Bhagavatham,fourth chapter titled "The process of creation".
Hope you take the benefit of hearing from HH Bhanu Swami maharaj. For those who are not aware, Bhanu maharaj, is a senior sannyasi disciple of Srila Prabhupada and is at present the second vice-chairman of the GBC. He engages all his time in translating the Gaudiya Vaishnav
literature and has brought out several books. The list is available in the above link.

We also hope that you will be inspired from hearing the classes on the website to drop in personally (if you are in Chennai) to hear him on Sundays or whenever possible.
 
I look forward to getting your feedback on this "Hear Bhanu Swami Maharaj" service

Also you can post your questions in this blog which will be answered by maharaj.

Thanking you,



Yours in the service of Lord Krishna,

Sumithra Krishna das.
