Here are the combined guidelines from different traditions for both brothers and sisters:

1. Vastu Shastra – Direction and Place

For the actual tying ceremony:

Face East or North-East: The sister should face East and the brother should face West, or both should face North-East. North-East (Ishaan Kon) is the most auspicious and spiritual zone.

Seating:Never do Rakhi standing at the doorway. Sit on a mat or asana. Brother should sit on a slightly elevated place if possible. Avoid the South-facing direction for both.

Puja Thali Placement: Keep the thali in North-East of the room. Use a brass, silver or copper thali, not steel.

Where to keep gifted money / gifts Brother’s gift to sister should not be kept in South-West immediately. Sister should keep the gift in North or East for a few hours to invite Lakshmi energy.

Broken or used Rakhi: Don’t throw old Rakhis in dustbin. Vastu says to immerse in water or bury under a tree after removing it after 8 days.

2. Feng Shui – Energy Balance

Feng Shui sees Rakhi as an exchange of Chi between Yin (sister) and Yang (brother).

Clean Clutter Before: Clean the North-West corner of your home – it governs helpful people and brotherly support. A clutter-free NW strengthens sibling bond.

Colors: Avoid all black or all dark blue clothes on Rakhi day – they absorb too much energy. Add a touch of red, pink or yellow to uplift Chi.

The Tie: Sister should tie with right hand, 3 knots. 3 represents Mind-Body-Spirit trinity in Feng Shui numerology. Tie it snug, not too tight – energy should flow.

Gifts:Feng Shui recommends gifts that are paired or useful, not sharp or cutting. Avoid knives, scissors, watches that stop, black wallets empty. Give wallets with a coin, plants like Jade, crystals like Rose Quartz for sisters.

After Rakhi: Keep the Rakhi on for at least 24 hours. Removing immediately breaks the energy circuit.

3. Astrology – Muhurat, Mantra and Graha Shanti This is the most followed part.

Bhadra Kaal: Never tie Rakhi in Bhadra : The ideal time is during Aparahna Kaal (afternoon). If Bhadra is there, wait till it ends.

For Sister while tying – Mantra: `Yena baddho Bali Raja, Danavendro mahabalah, tena tvam abhi badhnami, rakshe ma chala ma chala` This is the protection mantra of Raksha Bandhan.

Tilak: Apply tilak in this order for best astrological result – Kumkum, then Kesar chandan, then Akshat (whole rice). Akshat should not be broken. This activates Surya (success) and Guru (wisdom).

4 . Brother’s Birth Moon Sign:

Mesha, Simha, Dhanu (Fire):** Red / Saffron Rakhi best

Vrishabh, Kanya, Makar (Earth):** Green / Yellow Rakhi

Mithun, Tula, Kumbh (Air):** Blue / White / Light colours

Karka, Vrishchik, Meen (Water):** White / Silver / Light Yellow

For Brother: After Rakhi is tied, he should place his hand on sister’s head and take responsibility verbally – “Mama Raksha” – this completes the karmic circle.

4. Numerology

Number of Rakhis:** If sister is elder, tie one Rakhi. If younger, she can tie up to 3 Rakhis but always in odd numbers (1,3,5).

Gift Amount:** Numerologists suggest adding 1 rupee to gift – like 501, 1001, 2101. Never give exact even 500, 1000 as it closes the cycle.

Name Number:** If your brother’s Mulank (birth date total) is 4 or 8 (Saturn), avoid black thread Rakhi. Use Rudraksha or bright thread.

5. Spiritual / Dharmic Rules – For Both

Do’s for Sister:

1.  Fast or eat satvik before ceremony. Wash hair, wear new or clean clothes.

2.  Keep diya lit with ghee while tying.

3.  Don’t tie Rakhi with empty hands – keep coconut or mithai in hand.

4.  If brother is far, don’t courier Rakhi alone – send with akshat and a small kumkum packet. You can do video call and tie on a proxy like a Krishna idol or peepal tree first.

Do’s for Brother:

1.  Don’t keep hands empty when sister ties – keep a coconut or small idol in left hand.

2.  Don’t have a haircut, shave or nail cut immediately before ceremony.

3.  Gift should be given with right hand, from heart. Avoid saying “what do you want?” – give with sankalp of protection.

4.  If you have multiple sisters, elder sister should tie first.

Common Don’ts:

1 . Don’t use plastic Rakhi, black thread, or broken / used thread.

2. Don’t tie Rakhi after sunset if possible. Best is before evening.

3. Don’t take Rakhi off and throw in trash. After Janmashtami or after 8 days, remove and immerse in water.

4. Avoid argument, harsh words, and non-veg / alcohol on that day in the house where puja is done.

5. Sisters should not take back Rakhi or compare gifts – it creates Mangal dosh in relationship as per tradition.

6. Spiritual essence: Rakhi is not just thread. In Shastras it is called Raksha-Sutra. Sister puts a part of her Prana into brother through the knot, and brother in return gives a part of his Karma as protection. So intent (Bhav) is more important than cost.

1. Astrological Analysis – Graha and Tattva

The flag is divided into 3 colors + 1 Chakra in the center. Each represents a planetary energy and an element.

a) Saffron – Top Band

• Planet: Surya (Sun) and Mangal (Mars) and Brihaspati (Jupiter)
• Tattva: Agni Tattva – Fire
• Meaning: Saffron is the color of renunciation, courage, sacrifice and tapasya. In astrology, Sun gives leadership, self-respect and soul power. Mars gives courage and protection of Dharma. Jupiter gives wisdom and Dharma. This is why saffron is on top – it shows Dharma should lead the nation. It keeps the country fearless.

b) White – Middle Band

• Planet: Chandra (Moon) and Shukra (Venus)
• Tattva: Jal Tattva – Water
• Meaning: White is peace, truth, purity and balance. Moon is mind, emotions and peace. Venus is harmony and unity. White in the center acts as a mediator between courage (saffron) and prosperity (green). It shows that if the nation’s mind is peaceful and truthful, it can balance everything.

c) Green – Bottom Band

• Planet: Budh (Mercury)
• Tattva: Prithvi Tattva – Earth
• Meaning: Green is life, growth, harvest, wealth and stability. Mercury is the planet of agriculture, trade, intellect and prosperity. It connects the nation to its soil, farmers and economic growth.

d) Ashoka Chakra – The 24 Spoke Navy Blue Wheel
This is the most powerful astrological part.

• Planet: Shani (Saturn) – because Navy Blue is Saturn’s color. Saturn is the planet of Karma, Law, Discipline and Time.
• Other connection: The Chakra itself is Vishnu’s Sudarshan Chakra and also the Dharma Chakra. So it is the wheel of Dharma and Karma.
• 24 Spokes Meaning:
  In astrology, 24 is highly significant. It represents 24 hours of the day – Kaal Chakra. It means the nation should be in motion all 24 hours. No stopping of Karma.
  It also represents 12 Rashi + 7 planets + Rahu, Ketu, Brahma, Vishnu, Mahesh and Sun’s 12 Adityas – totality of time.

The Chakra moving from saffron to green shows that life should move under the law of Dharma.

2. Numerology Analysis

Number 3 – The Three Colors
The flag has 3 colors. In numerology, 3 is the number of Jupiter (Guru). It is the number of creation, knowledge, optimism and expansion. It is considered extremely lucky for India. India’s destiny also vibrates on 3 in many calculations. It shows wisdom, spirituality and growth.

Number 24 – Spokes of Chakra

• 24 = 2 + 4 = 6
• 6 is the number of Venus (Shukra). Venus is luxury, harmony, beauty, love and global attraction. This is why the world is attracted to India.
• 24 itself is considered one of the luckiest numbers in Chaldean numerology. It is called the number of success, help from powerful people and assured victory over obstacles.
• 24 principles of Dharma are also linked to Gayatri Mantra which has 24 letters.

Number 1 – One Flag
One flag represents Number 1 – Sun. Leadership, unity, sovereignty and a single identity. It shows India will always stand as one and lead.

Ratio 2:3 – Dimension of Flag
As per Flag Code, the flag ratio is 2:3. Total is 5. Number 5 is Mercury – again intelligence, trade, communication and youth power. Very good for a business and knowledge-driven nation.

3. Combined Reading

If you see the whole Tiranga from an energy perspective:

Saffron (Fire – Sun/Mars) + White (Water – Moon) + Green (Earth – Mercury) + Chakra in Blue (Air + Ether – Saturn) = Complete Pancha Mahabhuta balance. A flag that has all 5 elements balanced is considered extremely auspicious. It means self-sustaining energy. It never loses power. That is why, astrologically, the Indian flag is considered a living Yantra. It creates a protective Kavach over the country. Best direction to place a small flag as per Vastu: East or North-East of your home or office desk. The saffron should always be on top. Never let it touch the ground.

When we experience déjà vu, we feel as though history is repeating itself. We get the most uncanny sensation of intense familiarity, as though we have lived through a particular moment before and are now experiencing it again, even though in reality we’re doing it for the first time. Very often this sense of déjà vu occurs over trivial incidents. For example, you might be chatting to a friend in a café about the film recently, and you suddenly feel as though you have done exactly the same thing before, in every detail you saw . Déjà vu is a French phrase which, translated literally, means ‘already seen’. It happens entirely spontaneously and can’t be consciously triggered. Years may go by between episodes.

WHAT IS IT?

There are several theories about déjà vu. Some people regard it as nothing more mysterious than a brain malfunction, in which the brain is briefly unable to detect the difference between the present and the past. Indeed, déjà s a recognized symptom of tempora epilepsy: someone has a strong sene of déjà vu either shortly before or during an epileptic seizure. Another theory states that it is wish fulfilment on the part of the person having the experience, although this doesn’t explain why some very mundane situations can trigger a sense of déjà vu. In psychology, the experience is known as paramnesia. Another theory is that déjà vu is related to a past-life experience, and we feel that we’ve been somewhere before because we have.

I’VE BEEN HERE BEFORE 

Although not every experience of déjà vu is likely to be connected to a past life, some are so striking that the theory is definitely worth considering. 

Once, the gods got together to discuss a common problem: whenever they performed holy rituals and acts, demons would disrupt their activities and create mischief. After considerable brainstorming, they came upon a solution: a superior god who would defeat and control the demons and ensure an environment of peace in Heaven. The deities approached Lord Shiva, requesting him to create a celestial power against all evils. The divine union of Lord Shiva and Parvati created a child who was elephant-headed: the controller of all obstacles was born and was named Vighaneshwara -“Vighan” means obstacles -or the “One who Removes all Obstacles”. This story can be found in the Linga Purana. The Shiva Purana gives another version of Ganesha’s birth. Once, Parvati went to a large water pool to bathe. To ensure her privacy, she asked Nandi, the chief of ganas (Shiva’s attendants), to stand guard at the gate of the pool and not let anyone enter the area. A little later, Lord Shiva himself came along and was about to enter the pool area when Nandi, as instructed by Parvati, stopped Shiva. Extremely annoyed at Nandi’s behaviour, Shiva ignored him and continued walking and, needless to say, Parvati was not pleased to see Shiva in the pool area.Soon after, on an impulse, Parvati rubbed some dust off her body and created a male child, a young, handsome boy. She breathed life into his body, and blessed him with all her powers, and instructed him to obey only her orders. She then asked him to stand outside the pool gate and not let anyone enter the area. After some time, Shiva came along and walked towards the pool entrance. At the gate he saw a handsome young boy, who immediately stood in his way, and advised him not to enter the pool precincts. Angered by the attitude of this unknown boy, Shiva severed the child’s head from his body.When shouts and cries of anguish reached Parvati’s ears, she came out and seeing her son lying dead on the ground, broke down. She told Shiva about the creation of her son. Shiva repented his act of anger and consoled Parvati, assuring her that he would get the child back to life. He instantly sent for his ganas and instructed them to set forth and return with the head of the first living being they come across. The team trooped out and the first animal they came across was a baby elephant; the ganas cut his head and presented it to Lord Shiva. He then fixed the head to the child’s body and invoked life in him. The boy immediately came back to life and resumed all powers that his mother had bestowed on him, and he became an elephant- headed god. Ganesha is also known as Gajanan, which means “The Elephant-headed One”. Incidentally, Ganesha means “King of Ganas”; this name was given by Shiva.

THE predictions of earthquakes in different part of the world is an important subject in Mundane Astrology. It has been ascertained that earthquakes are caused by the action of eclipses, and through the position of planets in the four fixed signs, Taurus, Leo, Scorpio and Aquarius, and more especially Taurus and Scorpio . The following rules have been laid down by various writers, to which we have supplemented some notes and comments.

1. Earthquakes generally follow close on the heels of eclipses and especially in those countries where the eclipse falls on the meridian or nadir. Also if there be any planets in fixed signs at the moment of eclipse, then earthquakes will occur in those parts of the world where such planets are either rising, setting, culminating, or on the nadir. Thus, if, at an eclipse, the planet Saturn should be in a fixed sign, and distant 45 degrees from the meridian, then earthquakes will occur in that part of the world which is the same distance from Greenwich, east or west, according to the position of Saturn.

2. At the period of the earthquake many aspects will be found between the planets at the time, but specially the planets will form numerous aspects with the previous eclipse and the planets’ places at such time. Thus an eclipse may presignify an earthquake, but it will not come to pass until it is aspected by some planet, or numerous aspects are formed by the planets to the place of the eclipse.

3. Earthquakes happen more frequently when there are planets, especially Uranus, Saturn, Jupiter and Mars, in the signs Taurus and Scorpio.

4. Earthquakes also happen in those localities where great conjunctions of the planets fall on the cusp of the fourth house. For example, a map should be erected for the time of the great conjunctions of planets, and whenever such conjunction falls on the nadir, or cusp of the fourth house, an earthquake is sure to Occur.

5. The planet Jupiter when in Taurus or Scorpio, and in conjunction, opposition and parallel with Mercury, is one of the most prolific sources of earthquakes.

6. Observe the planets’ places at each quarterly figures, and at the New Moon nearest such Ingress, and note in what part of the world the malefics are placed on the cusp of the fourth house. In this locality seismic disturbances will occur.

7. Earthquakes generally happen when there are many planets on or near the four cardinal points, i.e., the first degrees of Aries, Cancer, Libra and Capricorn.

8. The countries and localities in which earthquakes will happen can be known in two ways. First, by reference to the signs ruling the different countries and cities, and secondly, by noting the actual longitude in which eclipses, planetary conjunctions, and positions at the four Ingresses, are vertical to the meridian or on the nadir. The signs in which such eclipses, conjunctions, etc., occur should also be noted.

9. Earthquakes may also occur near the perihelion of grea comets, that is, at the time when great comets are nearest the Sun or Earth.

The chandrayaan program also known as indian lunar exploration is an ongoing series of outer space missions by the indian space research organization ( isro ) . The program incorporates lunar orbiter, impactor , soft lander , and rover space .Chandrayaan 3 is the third lunar exploration mission by the indian space research organization ( isro ) . It consists of a lander and pragyan rover similar to chandrayaan 2 but does not have an orbiter . It’s propulsion module behaves like a cummunication relay satellite. The propulsion module carried the lander and rover configuration until the spacecraft is in a 100 km lunar orbit . ISRO has set three main objectives for the chandrayaan 3 mission which include getting a lander safely and softly on surface of the moon , observing and demonstrating the rovers loitering capabilities on the moon . Insite scientific observation making scientific experiments on the chemical and natural elements , soil , water etc available on surface of the moon . Interplanetary refers to the development and demonstration of new technologies required for missions between two planets .

Muhurata Analysis : The launch of chandrayaan 3 took place on 14 july at 2:35 pm ist andhra pradesh sriharikota longitude 80.14 and latitude 13.44 and lunar injection of 100 km circular polar orbit was completed successfully as part of phase one . Biggest advantage of landing time of mission chandrayaan 3 on moon on 23 aug 2023 there will be continuous day time of 15 days on lunar surface . This will enable the mission to explore the moons surface in broad daylight for 15 days .

Advantageous combinations of launching date / time :

1 . Pancha rahita free from mrityu panchaka , agni panchaka ( threat from fire ) , raja panchaka ( anger of rulers ) , chora panchaka ( danger of thefts ) , roga panchaka ( threat from disease ) .
