Namaste, Divine Brothers and Sisters,
I have had several emails recently lamenting the sender's inability to break through with the mantra discipline they have been using. I have recommended for the amelioration of karma that they should chant the Taraka Mantra, below.
In addition, it is important to remove one's Parabda Karma, the karma that is expressed in our astrological birth chart. I have placed a link below for the YouTube videos of my chanting these mantras. The written mantra is included.
Just received Rev. Jill Jardine's newsletter on Scorpio and today's Full Moon:
During this full moon, the Sun, Venus, and Saturn reside in Scorpio constellation, requiring us to look at what is valuable in our lives including relationships, resources , and lessons about both. Scorpio reveals the hidden or shadow energies in our lives, psyches, and relationships. It takes soul awareness, accountability, and honesty to embrace the shadow and come out of denial. Most people may not want to look at their shadow and will project it out onto others, or circumstances, blaming the external for their own lack. This full moon will bring up issues of co-dependence, especially in the areas of relationships and finances. With so much energy in Scorpio, we have to look at how we can become more responsible in managing our resources, and looking at issues of self-worth.
Taurus and Scorpio are the zodiac signs that rule finances and thus our economic well-being both personally and collectively. Astrologers can interpret your issues on money, values, and resources by the location of Taurus and Scorpio signs, and planets in a natal birth chart. People with planets and lunar nodes in Scorpio and Taurus come into this life with money karma that needs to be healed.
This evening, I will be doing the SatyaNarayana Lakshmi Puja, which is particularly effective at the Full Moon. For those who sent a donation, I will be praying for you individually and also remembering you at the puja. If you wish to donate before 6 pm PST, please go to PayPal.com, then Send Money to satyabhama@dharmasatsang.org, and I will include you in my prayers and the puja.
On the Winter Solstice in late December, I will be doing the Planetary/Navagraha Puja to ameliorate planetary karma. You will have an opportunity then to be prayed for individually and remembered in that puja.
Prem & Shanti,
Satyabhama

LORD RAMA
REDUCTION OF KARMA AND HEALING
The mantras of Lord Rama are the most powerful in removing our negative karma, thus healing our bodies and souls.
Guha, the boatman who ferried Rama, Sita and Lakshmana across the river to their 14yr. exile was aware of the power of Lord Rama and asked for the boon that the Name of Rama should be the most powerful mantra. And so it is the most powerful for removing karma, especially for healing and also for liberation from the rounds of rebirth.
Rama mantras are so powerful, in part, because Ra and Ma chanted balances the Ida and Pingala, the solar and lunar currents in the body.
Prarabdha Karma: Karma for one life, including Planetary karma represented by the natal birth chart in a particular incarnation. There are mantras to chant to ameliorate that karma. The 7 Jyotish Planets, which do not include the North and South Nodes of the Moon, each have "lordship" over different parts of our bodies, thus the karma regarding healing those issues can be ameliorated by changing the particular mantra involved.
The Planetary Mantras
You will find healing mantras in the CDs, Mantra Therapy Healing Intensives 1 & 2 and Mantra Therapy for Traumatic Injury & PTSD. There is also a Planetary/Navagraha Puja on the DVD, Health, Healing & Reduction of Karma. |

The works of Thomas Ashley-Farrand (Namadeva Acharya) (1940-2010) give unprecedented, detailed instruction in how to
empower yourself using the techniques of the ancient sages and rishis. He and Satyabhama have been given the mission by their Gurus Sadguru Sant Keshavadas (d. 1997) and Satguru Rama Mata to bring these teachings to everyone.
To that end, he wrote and recorded a number of works. He also traveled to North America and the UK to teach workshops, which Satyabhama is now continuing. She has also written a new workshop on Shiva & Shakti.
In 2016, we will lead a Pilgrimage Tour of India's Holy Places, visiting with the Shankaracharayas at Kanchi Math, Vishwa Shanti Ashram (our gurus' ashram), and doing fire ceremonies in the Himalayas, among the highlights of the trip.
We have founded a religious organization, Sanatana Dharma Satsang, (a 501(c)3 nonprofit) which has opened a Gayatri Temple in Beaverton, Oregon. The link to it is in the right column.
Our Bhakti Yoga House in Albuquerque, NM, will be the location of the 2015 Summer Program.
These works are offered in a spirit of service. We sincerely hope that they will further you on your path.
