Guru Maharaj Swamiji Sri Swelvam
Siddhar is considered to be a living
God to millions of his followers. He has
changed countless number of peoples’
lives in this universe. PLEASE NOTE

ATHARVA VEDA OF HINDUISM
IN THE ENTIRE US AND ALSO
WESTERN COUTRIES. There is no
other person existing in the United States
and western countries who knows or
practices Hindu Atharva Veda. (There
are 4 vedas and Atharva Veda is the 4th
Vedic Science of billions of Hindus) The
consultation and help from Swamiji Sri
Selvam Siddhar is highly confidential.
The following benefited people by our

Sri Selvam Siddhar. Their intention is to
suggest to everyone to approach Swamiji
Selvam Siddhar to come out of various
difficulties in their life.
Appreciation letters and testimonials
from some of the Swamiji’s followers:
Moss F Christopher, Houston,
Texas, USA
I met with High Priest- Swamji Selvam-
Dr Commander Selvam in my quest for
knowledge. I got to know I was under
some serious Black Magic. High Priest
Selvam helped heal the effect ;at least
put a stop from future attacks using
combinations of healing methods. I have
searched high and low for guidance, and
spent vast amounts of money looking
for a good teacher. The one thing I can
say boldly about him is he knows what
he is doing. Any man whom cares about
the affairs of the human race more
than money, in my books, has the true
knowledge of command spirits like in the
days of the old. Another thing about him
is he does not do what some may consider
Black Magic, so don’t even ask. This man
is the real deal when it comes to healing
you from wicked Magic.
Mohd. Azhar Uddin
(Former Indian Cricket Capt.)
I take this opportunity, like I have in the
past as a cricketer, that enthusiasm and
expert guidance alone can reap benefits
in a personal and professional bond.
Similarly, my coming into contact with
Swamiji Sri Selvam Siddhar enabled
me to surmount the darkest chapter of
my life. He has powers and talent that

Karma 5
can effect change and infuse a new and
evolved life. My finest good wishes to
Swamiji always.
Catherine Newnan, California, USA
Swamiji is the real deal. A very gifted
man who helped me heal from a very
dark problem. He is caring and accurate.
I recommend him highly.”
Irrfan Khan, Actor (India)
I have been consulting Guruji Sri
Selvam Siddhar for many years regarding
projects, property and relationships.
many times I wasn’t kicked about certain
projects and I was advised to take up those
projects because it’s going to be fruitful,
and it turned out that way and vice versa.
I could continue this association because
it seemed more personal as if your alter
ego is conversing, arguing, suggesting
and warning you, rather than a third
person looking at your life and predicting
things for you.
Nilu Gupta, Edison, New Jersey
Dr Selvam( Swamiji) has been a great
help to me and my family when life
seemed to not be going anywhere. Now
I approach every situation with boldness
and positivity. Swamiji has also helped
me understand spirituality better. I
particularly like the way he uses humor to
diffuse difficult situations. I will always
keep in touch with him and I feel he is
my true friend.
Anshumaan Swami, Film Producer
(India)
To be able to reason out our being here
on this planet, to be able to figure out our
rights and wrongs is not possible in one
life time. Thankfully I met Swamiji life’s
understandings and doings have become
much simpler and smoother. God bless
him…
Manoj Kumar, Actor & producer, India
Guruji, You are too accurate, you are
gifted with powers use it for society
welfare. All the best
Dinesh Jain, Dubai, UAE
Firstly I would like to thank Guruji
Selvam Siddhar for changing my life
since the day I met him, during my
search to fight against black magic which
had ruined my life for almost 2 years…
Black magic is the worst thing I have
ever experienced in my life till date…I
had consulted many Aalims for cure,
but everything went in vain…only with
Guruji I have got a complete cure within
11 days of ritual…the best thing is the

Karma 6
simple procedure he does… within 3
months of consulting with Guruji ,I got
to know the hidden world of jealousness
of our relatives who had done black
magic on my entire family…until know
he has cured 9 of my family members…
and moreover I have identified the
culprits who were responsible for such a
cruel act by Imran’s readings… on behalf
of my entire family I would thank occult
mystery team, who has changed lives of
all my family members and handed us
again to our destiny
Malini Shah, Queens, NY, USA
Guruji Selvam is my Living God. He has
dome miracles in my life. I have never
seen the God but I would say Swamiji Sri
Selvam Siddhar is my living God and I
will give my whole life to him.
Arvind Patel,, Sugarland, Tx, USA
I turned to Swamiji coincidentally while
I was deriving from my matrimonial
path. I felt I was being dragged by forces
unexplainable to me. However I was
amazed at how he helped me get back on
the right track and I am and will always
be grateful for how he helped me save
myself and the future of my kids. I since,
(back in 1998) always consult Swamiji ,
for any relationship matters that I have
and he always been helpful aand has
assisted me in any way that he could.
I found Guru Maharaj Selvam Ji on
the internet when I needed answers to
some life situations which were really
bothering me. I was very touched by
the quick response and help I got when
I contacted him and even recommended
him to my sister. Guruji is a lifelong
friend and a genuinely gifted man who
is very passionate about what he does.
Thank you for making a positive impact
in my life; I see life differently now.
Santhanam, Actor, India
I am amazed with the insight given by
Swamiji someone can predict future so
precisely, he asked me not to do journey
on a particular day, and my car was
crashed badly resulting in the death of my
driver …. its like a new life to me.Swamij
has made my 1st production as a grand
sucess and I should thank my frirend
cum co actor “ Sethu” who is related to
Swamiji Sri Selvam Siddhar. Thank you
from the bottom of my heart Swamiji for
making my film “ Laddu Thinna Asaya”
as a grand success. Your Atharva rituals
really worked and You and I know that
film field industry is a place to believe in
good and bad luck always

Since I met him through my friends and
the internet, I can say that my life has
been completely transformed, notably on
a psychological level. He has opened the
path towards that which I waited for and
what I was looking for.

Vedanga Jyotishya is a 3400-year-
old explicit Vedic astronomical
observation/estimation handbook for
practicing Vedic priests. Two versions,
one attached a Rig Veda- Arca-Jyotisham
and other to Yajur Veda, Yajusha-
Jyotisham are available. The priest’s
handbook was an almanac to perform
Vedic Yajna’s at correct times relative to
seasons based on Sun-Moon motions. The
luni-solar handbook provided algorithms
to estimate linear astronomical dates with
corrections every five years, based on
observation of solstices.
Jyothishya shastra evolved from this
foundation and always has been in use
amongst followers of Jyotishya as the
calendar. However, from a European
viewpoint, Capt Jarvis, Weber and others
were the first to note existence of an
astronomical significance of Vedanga
Jyotishya in the 19th century. Evidently
they did not fully comprehend all the
algorithms. In the late 19th century,
traditional Indian scholars Barhaspatya
(Chotelal), Bal Gangadhar Tilak and
others were also active in the study of
intricate algorithms in Vedanga Jyotishya.
A continuing study by others, the latest
being by T S Kuppanna Sastry appears
to have provided a broad understanding
of the algorithms in Vedanga Jyotishya,
despite corruptions, and omissions in the
many versions of the Vedanga Jyotishya
available in original form. Perhaps there
is more work to be done. This article
is a presentation of significance of
Vedanga Jyotishya, with some modern
astronomical graphic tools.
Vedanga Jyotishya provides a five
year time-linear mathematical model
sun-moon movement in time covering
nakshatra, Thiti, Parva, masa, Ritu,
Ayana (equinoxes, solstices), year ending
with a five year unit called Yuga, which
is eternally cyclic. The Yuga model is a
5-year unit of 1830 days starting when
Winter solstice coincides with sun and
moon being in conjunction at Shravishta
nakshatra, with provision for correction.
Rest of the units mentioned above is
related to Yuga based time units. Vedanga
Jyotishya provides algorithms to calculate
the current circumstance like nakshatra,
Thiti etc based on keeping track number
of days past from beginning of Yuga,
which would be visually observed
The aim of this article is to provide a
graphic view of work done by all in
understanding the Vedanga Jyotishya.,
inspired by TS Kuppanna Sastry’s work.
The Nagari script texts are provided in
the end for those who wish to look at the
original text. In the following, specific
inferences that can be drawn from
Vedanga Jyotishya text are provided..
The material in Vedanga Jyotishya is
attributed to Lagadha Mahatma. The
text refers (RVJ-2, RVJ-29, YVJ-42A)
to Lagadha in third person as the source
of knowledge, and hence was probably
recorded by his disciples and carried
down in time.

Psychosymbology is to control your
own destiny. Psychosymbology
teaches you how to contact that part
of your brain which contains all the
secrets of the ages – past, present and
future- secrets which will send you
soaring to heights of bliss, peace, and
personal power. It is the language of
brain, is easy to learn, easy to use, and
easy to develop the greatest source of
human psychic power ever discovered
by man.
Biologically the left side of the human
brain is conscious and rational and the
right side of brain is unconscious and
irrational. The right part of brain is a
vast and boundless sea of knowledge,
wisdom, potential. It remains unused,
untapped because people try to
communicate with it through the use of
words. But the Unconscious does not
understand words.The very fact that you
are reading this page implies that you
are the type of person who wants to be
in conscious and responsible control of
invisible psychic forces and unknown
potential. Practicing this science, no
matter what you want, desire or need–
a wife, a sex partner, wealth, power,
house, whatever it can be yours through
the great vastness and magic of your
sub-conscious mind…. the right brain.
Practicing Psychosymbology is easy,
you have to concentrate of a specific
symbol according to your need. Tape
the symbol on a wall and focus your
attention upon it every night before
going to sleep. During concentration
on the symbol, leave the entire work
for your right brain, simply gazing at
the symbol. By gazing at the symbol
you are permitting your sub-conscious
mind (right brain) to respond to that
stimulus in its own way, without
dictating your desire, need or wish, you
left everything for the higher forces.
The Unconscious knows what we need.
There are ten planet symbols which
you can also use in Psychosymbology
practices, each of which can evoke
wonderful properties of your right
brain. Your sub-conscious will react
to these symbols as well and bring
surprising results into your daily life.
The symbol of Sun gives authority. The
Moon, psychic ability. Mercury, insight
knowledge. Venus, love and beauty.
Mars, strength and power. Jupiter,
wealth and expansion. Saturn, economy
and prudence. Uranus, revolution and
transmutation. Neptune, imagination
and extra sensory perception. And
Pluto, occult powers and invisible aid.
There are also colors in
Psychosymbology to brighten lives.
You have to choose the right color and
then gaze the color with the thoughts
you are going while you flash the
color to your right brain. Here I am
mentioning colors with a few of their
possible meanings.
Violet,Purple,Blue,Green,Yellow,Oran
ge,Red
The list of few symbols are given as
follows, take the print out or draw the
symbol on a white sheet of paper, follow
the rules carefully and meditate with
patience. In case a symbol according
to your wish is not given here, you can
email me for a symbol of your need.
Paste the symbol on the wall at the level
of your eyes, in sitting position. Draw
the symbol on a white paper with black
ink, unless specified for a particular
color. Concentrate on the picture, using
only your right brain. Let the picture
transmit to your unseen twin, the right
brain….The symbol alone can contact
your dormant and sleeping Unseen twin
and arouse him into vigorous action
field, like oil bubbling beneath the
surface of the earth, your Unseen Twin
awaits your call. Magic, Love, Power,
Personality, Charisma, Dynamism,
Strength, all of these things and
more reside latent in your right brain.
Symbols put you in touch with that
little known side of yourself, and from
Unseen Twin will emerge the joys and
gifts you desire.

Aclear night sky with bright stars
is and has always been an object
of fascination for mankind. One can
probably see about 10,000 stars though
millions exist. In this computer era,
humans have lost the awe of the objects
in the sky due to astonishing advances
in science through modern astronomy,
human visits to Moon, remote robotic
visions of Mars, and views of galaxies
through the Hubble telescope. Humans
feel a sense of control and omnipotence
about their future. However astronomical
events listed below makes one wonder.
1. The Shoemaker-Levy comet’s earth
size impact on Jupiter in 1994
2. The Siberian comet impact of 1908’s.
3. The alleged comet impact on the
Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico resulting in
extinction of Dinosaurs.
The helplessness and insignificance
of human power in the face of even
minor cosmic events becomes apparent.
These events put in to perspective the
historical respect and reverence past
human societies have had for possible
devastation from the sky.
Observation of precise cyclic movement
of bodies in the skies formed the basis
for calendars and almanacs throughout
human history. Relation of apparent
motion of Sun, Moon, planets and stars
observed from earth, to the solar year
with its different seasons controlling
weather and agriculture was well
known to most older societies (Ref-9).
Many societies independently fitted the
observed heavenly body motion in to
different almanacs with major religious
and cultural components in the past.
Some are known and certainly many are
lost. Even today, such almanacs exist
and are used for religious and cultural
identity. These almanacs are solar
pointer, lunar pointer or a combination of
these types. Amongst these, the European
Julian solar calendar system modified by
Rome’s pope Gregory in October 1582
AD, has displaced all other almanacs and
is in universal use throughout the world
presently. The Gregorian calendar has no
lunar components whatsoever.
In the vedic literature, Bharateeya’s have
the oldest continuing culture running
for thousands of years. Pre-vedicculture
understood the motions of the bodies in
skiesandevolvedamoonpointercalendar,
moon pointing to daily stars in the skies.
Various stars in the moon path and a few
others were given proper names many
thousand years ago. Some notable proper
names from veda’s assigned to stars are
the 27 or 28 daily starsAshwini to Revati,
the saptarishis (Ursa major for Rishis Ma
richi,Vasishta,Angirasa,Atri,Puslastya,
Pulaha,Karatu or Gautama, Bhardwaja,

Karma 11
Vishvamitra, Kashyapa, Jamdagni,
Vasishtha and Atri), Dhruva (Polaris) and
Arundhati.Chandramana or Moon pointer
almanac has been extensively used during
and since Vedic period. The thousands
of year old lunar almanac system is an
integral part of traditional Bharateeya’s,
who probably have a birth horoscope
where in an important parameter is the
birth Nakshatra and birth Rashi. While
manyBharateeya’s know that nakshatra’s
refer to objects in the sky, not many can
point to the night sky and identify these
Nakshatra’s by their names.
This article aims identify the Nakshatra’s
referred to by Bharateeya vedic culture,
and to provide present day alternate
names from other cultures, including
modern astronomical identities from star
catalogs.
Though the lunar time between two
successive full moons is 29.53059 solar
days, the time taken for the moon to
go around the earth (sidereal month) is
27.32166 days. The moon also has an
oscillatory motion crossing the ecliptic.
The moon anomalistic motion and nodal
motion have periods are 27.55545 and
27.21222 days for a revolution around
earth. The reason for time between full
moons being higher than sidereal months
is because, the moon has to go around the
earth by more than a revolution (nearly
390 degrees) to keep with earth which
moves forward in its trajectory around
sun. The Chandramaana lunar calendar
system keeps a natural cyclic count of
days using two Moon based properties
described below.
The first property is that the moon
functions as an astronomical day count
clock in which Moon is the pointer and the
stars are numerals in the sky pointed to by
moon each day of the lunar month. The
astronomers of Vedic period identified
this approximate 13 degree movement
of the moon between successive days
and named the 27/28 stars pointed to by
moon on a daily basis over a rotation as
27/28 nakshatra’s, corresponding to little
less than a lunar month. Thus a Nakshatra
shift corresponds to moon traverse over
approximately one solar day.
The second property is the size of
fractional moon exposure to sun can
indicate a day count and is defined as a
moon day or thiti.Thirty thiti’s are defined
in a lunar month, each thiti being smaller
than a solar day. Fifteen are identified as
Shukla paksha or ascending fortnight and
next fifteen are called krishna paksha or
descending fortnight.
This system of day count calendar
keeping, is traceable to Veda’s. Veda’s,
which are perhaps the oldest original

Karma 12
documentation of knowledge anywhere
in the world, still in their original shape
and language. A study of theVeda’s,
Brahmana’s, and Aaranyaka’s point
exclusive use of a lunar pointer as the
primary calendar in the Vedicperiods.
Pournamsya, a time at which earth, sun,
moon are aligned is a time of singularity
used for religious purposes and formed
the unit of half a month and is used in
Rigveda. The Vedas also refer to solar
events such as Aayanas, and Vishuwat-
Sankramana’s as solar singular events.
Ayana means Solstices when apparent
North-South movement of Sun reverses,
usually occurring on June 21 and Dec 22.
Vishuwat means equal or the spring and
fall equinox’s when daytime is equal to
nighttime, usually occurring on March 21
and Sep 21. There are vedic references to
solar singularities with corresponding
solar/lunar pointed star locations.
The six-season definition is unique to
vedic system and is not found in any other
recorded culture or system. These seasons
are, Vasanta, Geeshma, Varsha, Sharad,
Himavanta and Shishira each season
being about two moon cycles. It is in
Taittareeya Samhita (Krishna Yajurveda)
and in Atharva samhita 19th kaanda /7th
Sootrathat an explicit first definition and
identification of the twenty- seven(28)
Nakshatra’s is available (Refs, 1 and 2).
It should be noted that the concept of
Zodiac/Raashi is not even hinted in any
vedic texts of the old period.
The table below provides a list of the
twenty-seven stars from Taittareeya
Samhita and Krishna Yajurveda
4thKaanda 4th Prashna of Andhra
School. Similar list is referred to in
Atharvaveda, 19th kaanda/7th Sookta.
It differs from the Yajurveda list in that
twenty eight stars are listed. In 19th
Kaanda/8th sooktha twenty eight(ashtha
vimshaani) nakshatras are declared.
The nakshatra not explicitly used in
Jyotishya and in yajurvedais named
Abhijit. The taiaareeya brahmana (third
Ashtaka) derived from yajurveda again
lists 28 nakshatrasincluding Abhijit. It is
referred to in Athrvana veda. The author
or Drashtaara of Atharva veda sookta is
Gaargya Rishi.
The confusion about 27/28 Nakshatras
can be analyzed as follows. The 27.3
days taken by moon for visiting the
same star can be rounded to either 27
or 28. Each of these integers represents
a nakshatra or a daily star. It is possible
that initially 28 nakshatras were proposed
and defined to represent every day. This
is evident fromGargya’s Nakshtara
sooktha. Subsequently many years later
when Jyotishya was taking a more formal
and mathematical shape, 27 integer
identities were perhaps found to be more
reasonable and accurate. Hence one of the
original 28 nakshatras had to be deleted.
This could not be done easily as the vedas
are considered to be ‘apourusheya’ and
no liberties were allowed. Hence perhaps
Abhijit, was declared to be an imaginary
nakshatrameant only for phala.(ref 10).
The Table below lists names of
Nakshatras, the deity to which Nakshatra
is dedicated to, and alternate names.
Ashwini and Bharani are listed as last
two Nakshatras. Note that the list starts
from Krittika and not fromAshwini as
is currently used in Jyotishya Shaastra
(Ref 3). The time at which Rishi gargya
documented the list of nakshatra’s in
Atharvana Veda is at least circa 2400 BC,
as analyzed in appendix I. The appendix
also dates the Jyotishya Shaastra as
having been brought in to the present
form around circa 400 BC.

Karma 13
The lunar calendar was in universal
and secular use in ancient Bhaarata.
Historical events used the lunar calendar
for dating all events. It is well known that
Gautama Buddha was born, achieved
his enlightenment and died on full
moon day with the full moon pointing
to Vishakha Nakshatra. The twelve
months were named after the stars at
which full moon occurs and these are
Chaitra, Vaishakha, Jyeshta, Ashaada,
Sharavna, Bhadrapda, Ashwija, Kaartika,
Margashira, Pushya, Maagha, Phalguna.
Typically alternate stars with some
skips refer to month names and hence
accommodate 27 stars corresponding to
nearly 360 degrees motion of Sun in a
solar year.The first question that arises
is whether a ‘Nakshatra’ corresponds
to one single star entity or a group of
stars in the sky. Bharateeya Jyotishya
shaastra states that each Nakshatra name
Nakshatra No. of stars Alternate name Dedicated to

corresponds to a group of stars called
star mansions or Asterisms. The concept
is that Chandra or Moon visits these
mansions in his trajectory around earth.
It is very possible that at the inception of
daily star concept during the early vedic
period, a Nakshatra may have been a
specific single star. Nakshatra positions
may have been rationalized in later
days to mansions or groups of stars for
purposes of mathematical averaging to be
exactly 13.333 degrees apart required in
Jyotishya. The table above also shows the
number of stars, accepted by Jyotishya
shaastra, constituting the specific
Nakshatra.
The Vedas and other older texts do not
refer to weekdays named after Graha’s
or Planets or to Raashis. TheGrahas
referred to in Veda’s are Surya, Chandra,
Brihaspati, Shukra, Budha, shani, Kuja,
Rahu, Ketu. They extensively refer
to Nakshatra month names and moon
pointing at different Nakshatra’s for
various purposes. Therefore it appears
likely that the Bharateeya cosmological
system interacted with the European solar
calendar and gradually the Jyotishya
shaastra was modified to the present form,
as we know now. Sun based concepts
ofRashi, weekdays were invoked in to
Jyotishya. This could have occurred,
perhaps through contact with Yavanas
(Greek’s) as there is considerable
evidence of Greek and Bharateeya
interaction during period before Chandra
Gupta. Appendix provides astronomical
time markers which confirm the origins
of Jyotishya Shaastra in present form to
circa 400 BC. Without acceptance of this
interaction, it is difficult to explain why
the twelve Zodiacs of the European star
system are translations of the Nakshatra-
Rashi defined in Jyotishya.
It is worth while looking at the some
Bharateeya astronomers of a more recent
time of 300-500 AD. They areAryabhata,
Varaha Mihira, Brahma Gupta. These
astronomers were aware of the vedic
astronomy and made new and unique
contributions. Specifically Aryabhata
madecontributionstoSphericalgeometry,
apartofunderstandingtheearthasaglobe.
Varaha Mihira’s contributions include
pesently used Soorya Siddhanta, (He

calenders) and the fact that he proposed
Prime Meridian through Ujjainin Madhya
Pradesh. He knew of Earth’s Precession
and called it as ayanaamsha. Brahma
Gupta made contributions to Arcsin in
Trigonometry. Aryabhata had estimated
the beginning of kaliyuga as 3102 BC.
He stated that when he was 26, sixty of
the 60-year cycles were completed after
start of kaliyuga. Varahmihiramade an
estimate of 2526 before start of Shaka
varsha for Mahabharata’s Yudhishtira.
Texts from that period likeYavana Jataka,
Romaka Siddahnta provide evidence of
understanding of European astronomical
works.
The Chandramaana Lunar scale has
27 daily and twelve month name
definitions. While amalgamating the
solar calibrations of zodiacs in to Lunar
calibrations of Nakshatra’s, the issue of
translating 27 Nakshatras in a revolution
to 12 Rashis was solved in Jyotishya
Shaastra by treating 1/4 of a Nakshatra as
a unit making Nine quarters of Nakshatra
as one Raashi.

Black Magic
Many systems have been developed
over the years to help us control our
thoughts. A great amount of dogma has
been kicked around in an attempt to
make us into better people.
Magic, the occult kind, is one of
the oldest and most general of these
systems. Magic is the study and
application of psychic forces. It uses
mental training, concentration, and
a system of symbols to program the
mind. The purpose of magic is to alter
the self and the environment according
to the will.
Using magic to forcefully control
another person’s will is, in a sense,
black magic. There are also some
people on the occult fringe who claim
to be, possibly even think they are,
‘Satanists’, devil worshipers, or black
magicians. These people are most
likely charlatans, hoaxers, dabblers,
or merely misinformed. They may be
attracted by the ‘art’ of black magic,
or even by the ‘glamour’ of doing
something against the ‘rules’. But a
real black magician is very dangerous.
Because he has dedicated his life to
evil.
Any magic act is likely to produce side
effects regardless of whether or not the
desired result is achieved. Such side
effects are no problem for constructive
magic, since they are beneficial as well.
However, aversive magic can produce
aversive side effects which may even
harm the magician — aversive magic
is dangerous!
Most of the magic we see today
comes to us from ancient Egypt and
Chaldea. The Chinese, Hindus, and
Tibetans developed their own unique
types of magic. Western magic was
locked up by the Egyptian priests for
thousands of years and then suppressed
by the rise of Christianity. It was not
until medieval Europe that magical
knowledge was rediscovered by the
alchemists and Cabalists. Only during
the past hundred years or so has western
culture been open minded enough to
permit widespread investigation of
the subject. Only since the start of the
twentieth century has science shown
much interest in it al all.
What Magic can Do……….
Magic encompasses many things
- science and art, philosophy and
metaphysics, psychology and
comparative religion. Magic is an

Karma 17
adventure at the borderlands of the
unknown. It can fit the pieces of the
puzzle of life into a meaningful whole.
Magic is fun and interesting. Use magic
to help raise consciousness without
drugs. Gain new experiences. Fantasy
can come alive through magic. Psychic
phenomena can be controlled and be
fun and helpful. Magic is beneficial.
It can help you to have excellent
health, and bring you good luck. With
magic life runs smoothly; life is good.
Magic can also be used for personality
improvement, to control bad habits
and to develop new motivations.Magic
is powerful. Never underestimate the
tremendous power of magic. Use magic
to alter events and to achieve your
goals. Exert an influence over people
and phenomena. But power for its
own sake is self-defeating. The power
which magic can give you should not
be your primary reason for studying it.
Magic and Witchcraft……
Anumber of other occult disciplines are
prevalent today besides magic. There
are many cults and sects which profess
their own views, but there are really few
differences between them. One popular
area in the occult today is witchcraft.
This is far removed from the cliché
of devil worship. Real witchcraft is a
nature religion (pagan). Witchcraft has
much in common with magic. Alchemy
also has much in common with magic.
It’s heritage comes from the middle
ages. Alchemy fathered chemistry and
the physical sciences. But the avowed
purpose of alchemy, turning lead
into gold, is too limiting to be called
magic. Sometimes the goal of alchemy
is interpreted in another way, as the
transformation of man into a spiritual
being. Then there are the numerous
modern day seers or ‘psychics’, as they
like to be called, who operate within
their own somewhat unique systems.
Although many of these people are
deluded frauds, some are very powerful
occultists indeed.
Healing and Banishing
Psychic or spiritual healing is a
human potential we all possess. Some
people are especially good at this. It is
probably easier to heal someone else by
occult means than yourself. In addition
to healing in the presence of the person,
there is ‘absent healing’ in which the
healing occurs at a distance. Note
that there are some who maintain that
influence on another person without
his specific knowledge and permission
(yes, even in healing and helping) is
black magic. (After all, everybody is
living according to his own true will,
so that healing or helping someone
without permission is affecting his
will)

Karma 18
His Holiness Swamij
Sri Selvam Siddhar
Tantra is a Sanskrit word means ‘woven
together’. In some places the sexual
union of male and female is worshipped
either in principle or in human practice.
It has also come to be applied to sex-
based religious practices developed
in other religions, including Bon,
Tibetan , Judaism, Taoism, Christianity,
Buddhism and Transcendentalism. In
Hindu religion there is worship of yoni
(Yoni puja), a ceremony honoring the
vulva — either of a statue or a living
woman. Depending this puja (prayer)
may involve making offerings of food
and liquids while chanting prayers or
it may involve the deliberate sexual
arousal of a woman who is believed to
embody or personify the deity. Another
worship, the worship of the god Siva,
has at its center linga puja, a ceremony
honoring the penis, often in the form of
a natural upright stone. Similar objects
of worship have been found among
the archaeological remains of many
Neolithic people around the world.
It’s a practices that make use of our
natural sexuality as a means to achieve
higher consciousness and energy. The
secrets have to do with the ways we can
transmute the life energies of the lower
chakras into the spiritual realizations of
the higher spiritual centers.
What is Tantra Sex
For doing this we do not have to
become sadhus, monks, nuns, or saints.
We have to continue the normal process
of — sleeping, dreaming, bathing,
dressing, dining, dancing, and making
wonderful love. We have only to change
our outlook concerning them. Tantra
Sex is also a procedure where one can
emit or receive energy through sex.
These procedures are not very hard to
follow. There is also a myth that highly
spiritual people are sexless. It’s wrong,
spiritualism is everywhere, all you have
to do is to discover it with right path,
right way.The concept of sacred sex,
Divine sex, Tantra sex whatever you
call, is to find spiritual union through a
sexual act, is slowly gaining ground all
overtheworld.Ourpsychesarecertainly
ripe for it. As a society we are obsessed

Karma 20
with sex. In part it is a lustily healthful
obsession, a celebratory dance of life’s
great force, but much of it flounders in
darkness and neurosis – sex for power,
sex for profit, sex for oblivion.
You have to slowly learn the rituals and
process of Tantra Sex to move all wild
sexual energy around inside you, whole
body orgasm, through eyes, elbows or
toes, becomes a real possibility, not
just involving your genitals. While
learning to withhold ejaculation is
part of the process there is also a more
relaxed, more fluid perspective that
allows for personal preference and
ability. It will take some time to learn
the delights that come with delaying or
eliminating ejaculation as you explore
the many other ingredients of tantrik
sex practice – emotional and mental
as well as physical.The Tantra sex
goes far beyond the bedroom, helping
partners open fully to each other in
trust and love through all facets of their
relationship. Your relationship itself
helps for spiritual growth and personal
awareness. As you learn to open to
yourself, to your own inner lover, you
naturally open to others around you.
You begin to understand that surrender
does not mean submission or loss of
self, but rather a loving expansion to
something that is much greater than you
are.
Sacred sex teaches a discipline of the
mind and body. As a celebration of
life, sacred sex teaches the importance
of conscious awareness, of being
totally into your actions. By focusing
attention on your body and your mind,
and what you are doing with them,
you become all around healthier. Your
emotions become more stable and more
real. Your mental capacity increases.
Your physical health improves as you
discover that your body is indeed the
temple of your soul and as you begin
to honor it that way.During the practice
of Tantra Sex you have to view sexual
energy as a divine, all encompassing life
force that sleeps within the individual,
permeates the universe, and affects
everything you do from birth to death.
As sexual beings, we have the ability to
raise that energy within ourselves and
use it to directly experience alternate
or mystical states of consciousness. In
effect, we become gods and goddesses,
our bodies transformed into temples of
male and female divinity.
Now The Time to Start Tantra Sex
Ritual
The place should be peaceful,
undisturbed, clean and with fresh air.
No high intensity lights, not very dark.
It should be only RED-colored light.
You should be wearing only white
soft cloths. Before starting the ritual
you must be in your cloths, which
you remove slowly during the entire
process.
Lit a fresh candle near you (if there is no
fan) the color of the candle must be red.
No fancy candles are allowed during the
ritual.
Keep in mind that you are a slave to
your genital need.
Relax your belly and chest so your
breath can flow unobstructed, with
full force and great ease. Relax your
jaw, face, and eyes, so the whole front
of your body is soft, round, alive, and
vibrant, not stiff or tight

Karma 21
Male partner has to inhale deeply down
the front of his body, as if drawing
energy from his head, down to your face,
through throat and chest, into belly, and
down to the genitals. Then contract the
floor of your pelvis so it becomes like a
trampoline. As the energy comes down
to front you bounce it off to pelvic floor
with an upward intention and muscular
contraction of your anus, genitals,
and perineal area. Exhaling, shoot the
energy back from your genitals and
upward along the spine. As the orgasm
energy glides up your spine, make your
eyes turn up and great blesses rush in
an upward direction through your body,
through the head, and up, up, up, as if
into a great space of light .Do whatever
brings you almost to orgasm. This can
be masturbation or sexual activity with
a supportive partner. Remember to
relax and breathe into your orgasmic
state. Take your time. Bring yourself
almost to orgasm, backing off just
before the point-of- no-return, several
or more times. What you’re doing here
is charging up the sexual battery. It’s
easier for women to do this process
because orgasm is usually not an
energy drain for them . Women are
able to climax multiple times gaining
tremendous energy from it. So, to my
female readers, I encourage you to
relax, breathe, and have fun. It’s also
very helpful to strengthen your PC/
vaginal muscle and get in touch with
your G/Sacred Spot.
When you have almost reached orgasm,
after coming close several times and
you’re ready to let go, recall from your
mind the reality you want to create and
energize it with focused intention. Make
it vivid, exciting, big and beautiful.
When you orgasm, keep focused on
the picture/creation and deliberately
channel the orgasm into it. Just let it
flow into the reality you want to create.
Remember to keep breathing during
the orgasm and breathe your orgasmic
energy into your creation/ goal/ dream/
reality. Stay focused and hold the
picture. Your body will do the rest.
You can repeat the process if you want
to come to another orgasmic energy.

Meditate
With a Partner
- Swamij Sri Selvam Siddhar
Doing it with a partner will make
you have a better experience in your
meditation and relationship. This is
how:
# Find a partner. If you’re in a group,
a class or just with friends, you need
to have a partner to do the [[Meditate
meditation]]. You will have to be a
pair, so find only one partner, and
build up trust so you can enjoy the
experience more.
# Start the session. Lay down on
the floor or on a bed, back-to-back
and hold hands. Make sure you
have everyone taking it seriously so
you will not get disturbed. It’s also
important to feel comfortable with
your partner.
# Light. Turn off the light, and light
up some candles so that you are in
a dim light together. Practice some
[[Breathe Deeply|deep breathing]].
# Be creative about the session. You
will have to do things together, or
think together about something that
bring you closer. An example:
#*Picture yourselves in somewhere
where you consider yourselves happy
and hold hands through the whole
process.
#*Have something ruin your happy
place. Something realistic. Imagine
your partner making it better again.
# Waking up. Lay in that position
for another few minutes then slowly
wake up, getting out of the meditation
state. Sit a little together, then stand up
slowly and turn on the real lights.
# Repeat. Repeat this often since it
makes you feel better and closer to
your partner.

Karma 23
Mantra Meditation” consists of two
parts: mantra and meditation itself.
Mantra means pure God’s consciousness
and meditation means giving due respect
to the God. The technique taught here is
that of the Vaishnava tradition of Bengal,
India.
1. Don’t sleep too much or too little.
People who always go to sleep with
sunset and get up with the sunrise have
an easier time meditating. Ideally sleep
must become meditation but never the
opposite. Get up in brahma-muhurta.
This period starts before sunrise. This is
time of predominant sattva (goodness)
which is roughly from 3am to 6 am. This
helps to go even further and touch with
the transcendental world full of bliss,
knowledge and eternity, which, is still
not formless. Set God (Krishna) as your
object of meditation Our eternal position
is a servant of God. Thus meditation
24 hours a day is best. If person meets
death in meditation he has more chances
to get out of circle of birth and death.
Still, even if one is doing meditation
nonstop, but knots within his heart are
still not eliminated, he is probable to fall
down and get low birth like animal in
next life. Thus one must be very sincere
and serious. God is your best friend and
well-wisher.
2. Take bath in a holy river. If you
live in a city without a holy river, go
outside to the closest water-source for
pure water. Never use water from water
tap as it brings dangerous karma related
with animal-slaughter. Go to the holy
place of God and saints past times. If
you live in a place which is not figuring
in list of Holy places, go to the best
temple around. Alternatively you must
have God’s room with altar at home and
do your mantra meditation only there
- it helps in concentration on eternal
purpose on precious human life. Never
chant mantras in your bedroom or at
least clean your bedroom after sleeping.
3. Be ready to do yama/niyama/hatha-
yoga/pranayama/pratyahara. You must
follow non-violence, perfect behavior,
keep your body flexible, have clear
breathing and control your body from
wanting to do something different
from meditation. Only then can you
concentrate and meditate - dharana
and dyana stages. The result would
be samadhi - coming back home to
Godhead in the spiritual world.
4. Utilize music instruments and
singing. Senses are always distracted
from service to God. Thus the only way
is to utilize them all in service - nice
dress, nice music, nice songs. God is not
satisfied if you are afraid of His power -
He is your best friend and well-wisher.
( “yoga-kṣemaḿ vahāmy aham” - God
will preserve whatever you have and
will give you whatever you lack) Still, if
you don’t have all these, you can simply
chant or sing the mantras. But slowly
God will support. (“ śaśvac-chāntiḿ
nigacchati “- you will attain supreme
happiness without doubt!)
5. Use clean chanting beads (a.k.a., japa-
mala)In Bengali Vaishnavism, Tulsi
(a.k.a., Tulasi) beads are preferable,

Karma 24
due to their connection with Krishna. If
these are not preferred, other beads, such
as Buddhist beads, Rosaries, Rudraksha
beads, or even the crease-lines and finger
tips of your hands (counting them with
the tips of your thumbs, you can chant
16 mantras on one hand, and count sets
of 16 by engaging the other hand) can
be used. If you wish to make your own
beads, the traditional method is to use
109 beads, including one larger bead (the
head bead, which marks the ‘rounds’ or
full sets). Further, it is good to make a
knot between each bead to hold them
in place, so that if a bead breaks off, it
will be detected as missing. The head
bead lets you know how many mantras
you have chanted. Bengali Vaishnavas
generally chant between 16 and 64
rounds a day. This can take from 1 1/2
hours to 8 hours! But whatever your
level, try to keep to a minimum, even
if it is only one or two rounds a day.
You can always increase later as you
feel necessary or ready. Count from the
first bead 108 mantras listen attentively.
A.C. Bhakti vedanta, one of the world’s
leading exponents of mantra meditation,
says, “chanting is thinking”. Hearing the
sound with submissive aural reception
will produce the desired effect.
6. Gently bring your mind back to the
sound of the mantra. Do not be surprised
or discouraged if your mind wanders.
Training the mind is hard work, but will
deliver palpable results if you possess
determination, enthusiasm, and patience.
Have a wonderful time performing this
early meditation; it helps set one’s mind
and focus, and can enable one to achieve
more in six hours than most people
achieve in twelve hours.
7. Repeat . The very best meditators
are steady in their practice, and do it
every day without exception. Consider
yourself in training for the mental
olympics. If you manage to do this every
day for three months, you will already be
on the track to a steady, focused life of
increased possibilities.
8. Seek out peers and mentors in the
process . Regular mantra meditation
becomes much easier when you are
engaging in the process in a socially
reinforced environment.
*Pay submissive attention to the
sounds. Proper submissive reception to
the sounds will cause rapid revelation
of their transcendental character. Be
patient if it doesn’t happen right away.
Break the mind of its learned habits
of wandering, and teach it to focus. If
you are determined, enthusiastic, and
patient, results will almost automatically
follow. *Remember, meditation is
never a wasted endeavor. Even if you
cannot practice according to the ideal
conditions, the endeavor itself will help
you to refine your life-style in favorable
ways. Eventually, you will find a
completely favorable situation if you
just keep at it without losing hope.
*There are a multitude of good mantras
to chant. Some of the most effective:
** “Hare Krishna Hare Krishna,
Krishna Krishna Hare Hare, Hare
Rama Hare Rama, Rama Rama, Hare
Hare”. Sometimes referred to as the
“Hare-Krishna Maha-mantra”, this is
considered by Bengali Vaishavas, to
be the supreme mantra of all mantras.
This is spoken in the Vocative, so one
is calling out to the names of Vishnu

Karma 25
or Radha-Krishna (the all-attractive
Supreme Divine Couple) Hare is the
vocative of Haraa, the feminine divine
or supreme energy/possibilities, whilst
“Krishna” and “Rama” are vocative of
the masculine divine or the very form
of supreme existence, wisdom, and
bliss. A web image search for images
of Radha-Krishna, or Rama, turns up
many blissful, divine icons to help in
meditation, though in mantra meditation,
it is generally considered best to just
listen rather than look.
** “Haum Mani-Padme Om” This
is a popular Buddhist mantra. It can
be taken as asking the Buddha (the
divine) for favorable life conditions or
enlightenment, i.e., the extirpation of
material desires.
** “Jay Shree Krishna Chaitanya,
Prabhu Nityaananda, Shree Adwaita,
Gadaadhar, Shreevasaadi Gaura-
bhakta-vrinda”: This mantra invokes
the compassion of God in five forms,
and is good for developing a devotional
attitude toward the personalities of
Godhead. In Bengali Vaishnavism, this
is chanted once at the beginning of each
108 mantras (and does not count toward
the total number of mantras chanted) in
order to evoke auspicious conditions for
the mantra chanting. It is like chanting
for the sake of good chanting.
** “Kyrie Eleison”. This is a popular
Russian Orthodox mantra, also used by
Catholic monks. It means “Lord Have
Mercy”, and can be quite a purifying
chant.
image search for images of Radha-
Krishna, or Rama, turns up many blissful,
divine icons to help in meditation, though
in mantra meditation, it is generally
considered best to just listen rather than
look.

Karma 26
H.H. Swamiji Sri Selvam Siddhar
In a nutshell, respect is earned
through respecting both yourself and
others. Wealth, clothing, or physical
attractiveness are not requirements. The
way others perceive you isn’t necessarily
based on your level of education, what
schools you may have attended or the
crowd with whom you are acquainted.
Respect is accorded to those who conduct
themselves with integrity and treat others
with dignity. If you set an example by
respecting yourself, appreciating your
own good qualities and highlighting the
positive in other people’s lives, you will
earn the respect of others.
Steps
Presentation
1. Present yourself well. Practice good
grooming and dress neatly. Clothing
doesn’t need to be expensive but it
should be laundered and in good repair,
showing that you care about this aspect
of yourself. Take care of your health and
your teeth. Your smile will show to others
that you enjoy your own company, and
theirs too.
2. Greet people in proper and friendly
manner. Open, warm and acknowledging
greetings are appreciated and returned by
others. A positive and uplifting greeting
makes each person feel wonderful
and if you can also manage to make
a compliment, it personalizes your
attention and makes them feel special.
Charisma is in large part acknowledging
the worth of another person and helping
them to feel good about themselves.
If someone does not reciprocate or
acknowledge your greeting, give that
person the benefit of the doubt. Be
polite. It is possible that they may be
deeply absorbed in thought or worried
about something, and as a result failed
to acknowledge you. The same goes
for a lukewarm response to you––don’t
take it personally. Many people are shy,
poorly trained in good manners or even
overawed. Give them the space to thaw;
most will come round when they realize
you don’t hold anything against them.
Respecting Yourself
1.Have confidence. Many people will
test you, and poke your insecurities.
No matter what they say, if you have
confidence in yourself and your worth,
their disrespectful behavior will go
away because they realize that they
cannot intimidate you. And even if
their disrespectful attitude doesn’t stop,

Karma 27
you will at least be able to ignore it and
maintainyourinnerpeace.Rememberthat
you do not need the acknowledgement
of other people to prove yourself worth;
only you can do that.
2. Try to be optimistic. It is easy to point
out the downside of a situation, but if
you make the effort to overcome your
obstacles through constructive thinking,
taking decisive action and facing the
problems head on, you can lead happier
lives and be an encouragement to others.
Find ways to assist people who need help
and your own troubles will seem less
overwhelming, and you’ll feel better for
doing it! Volunteering is one possibility.
But so is dropping in on a lonely neighbor,
calling a long lost relative or helping your
children build something in the backyard.
3. Respect yourself and others around
you. Keep your home and surroundings
clean and well kept. Your neighbors will
respect you and the neighborhood will
be a better place for everyone. Treating
others with respect is the most important
thing to do; if you treat someone with
respect, they’ll treat you with respect.
4. State your boundaries. Clearly
communicate what you are willing to
accept and what the consequences for
trespassing of these boundaries are. Do
what you announced to do (or not to do)
every time the trespassing happens.
Example: If you want to go out to meet
friends with your partner, inform them of
the time and that you will leave at this
time; whether they are ready or not. If
your partner is not ready to go, leave the
house without them. Do not let them call
you back or change your plans in any
way. Do not try to justify your actions,
and refuse to accept blame. If at all,
tell them that you informed them of the
consequences and they are only suffering
consequences that could have easily be
avoided if they had played by the rules.
Building Your Worldliness
1. Be aware of the world around you.
Notice the events happening around you
and also the events happening around
the world, be they in the field of movies,
entertainment, sports or something else.
This way, you will be comfortable when
people talk about the current trending
issues. Having a good knowledge of the
subject matter will attract others attention.
Even if you don’t like certain topics that
are pervasive in society, such as politics,
religion or sports, try to keep a very
general awareness that allows you to ask
the opinions of others who do follow such

Karma 28
things with passion. They’ll appreciate
the opportunity to talk their talk, you’ll
learn more about them. You may never
agree but you can listen and acknowledge
the other person’s interests.
Basic Common Courtesy
1. Keep your language clean and
respectable. Say positive things about
others whenever possible, but be sincere
- people can recognize the difference
between true interest and forced flattery.
2. Never bully others or take advantage
of their weaknesses. Bullies are not
respected because they don’t show
respect. Allow people to keep their
dignity. Bullies are incapable of showing
respect because they typically do not
even respect themselves, and/or may
not know the definition of respect. And
intimidating others to get what you want
from life is a fast road to loneliness and
being ostracized.
Don’t tease people. While it may seem
like fun and while you don’t mean it,
people can really feel offended by teasing
that pokes at the heart of something they
care about or stand for. It soon turns into
disrespect, especially if you insist you’re
just joking when they ask you to stop,
and you don’t.[1]
In turn, deal with bullies in a respectful
manner, so as to disarm them of the one
thing they really want––your weaknesses
revealed. If they take something from
you, start to tease you, or try to treat you
like less than dirt, say something like:
“Can I have that back? And by the way,
that’s a cool bike”. Staying polite and
not getting flustered will easily throw
a bully off guard. Don’t shower them
with compliments, as once you lose your
unpredictability, they will take advantage
of that. Simply keep it a short, nice phrase
and then be on your way or back to your
work.
3. Give everyone a chance. Don’t
prejudge people, and be pleasant to
everyone. Even if you realize someone is
a jerk, remain civil and have class; you
don’t need to stoop to their demoralizing
level and play their game. People around
you will respect your ability to stay
above it all more than bad mouthing or
confronting them in a mean way.
4. Live up to your promises. Don’t make
promises you know you can’t keep, or
you are unsure you’ll be able to keep.
It is much more respectable (and more
difficult) to just say “No, I can’t do that,”
or even “I don’t want to do that.” This is
where you have to respect yourself and

Karma 30
your own will, and make it clear to others
in a polite and assertive way. And when
you do make a promise, keep it.
Toning Down Opinionated Interactions
1. Keep your cool and be prepared to
see other people’s side of the story.
If you’re strident, always presenting
your point of view loudly and refuting
anyone else’s version of events and life in
general, you’ll be viewed as a boor. Few
people can stand the person who hogs
the limelight constantly and refuses to
acknowledge that other people have a say
too. Stay cool and if something does fire
your passion, share this by all means but
acknowledge that your point of view is
but one of many.
Having had a hard life is not an excuse
to abuse or take advantage of other
people. Bear in mind that most people
you meet have faced battles of one sort
of other in their own lives and may well
be experiencing problems right now too.
Seek help for emotional hurt that is eating
you up so that you can lead your life as
you want it to be, and not according to a
past you’re still trying to defeat.
2.Don’t act like a know-it-all. People do
not appreciate it when you act superior
to them. Once again, listen and respect
their opinions, even though these may
be different from your own. And remind
yourself that the wisest people in the
world are those who acknowledge how
little they really do know, for there is so
much yet to discover.
If you do catch yourself acting like a
know-it-all, use humor to make light
of it, and say something simple like:
“Sorry, I seem to have gotten a bit too
passionate about this topic. Obviously I
care about it but I’ve been rude talking
so much. Sorry! Please let me know
what you think of this matter. I am a good
listener you know!”
Setting a Good Example
1. Be a good role model.
Set an example e that others would like
to follow. When another person imitates
you, it is a sign of respect. If someone else
has set a good example, let them know
how much you appreciate it by your own
actions (and words too).
Be a good role model at home, work and
in social situations. Wherever you are,
there is always an opportunity to show
others how to live with self-respect and
how to honor the dignity of others.
2. Be yourself. Don’t just join in with
the latest craze just because others may
be following the popular style. Respect
yourself by making your own choice, this
will bring respect from others. If you’re
unsure of what to do or what you value,
and you’re looking for someone with
authority to guide you, always remember
who you are, and always ask yourself if
youagree with what this person says and
does. Sometimes, it is easier said than
done: sometimes you feel lost and are not
sure what you want or what you believe.
It’s okay to make mistakes; everybody
makes them. However, you should still

Karma 31
remember that you are the final judge of
everything that you say and do, and be
ready to face up to your mistakes, learn
from them and move on.
3. Don’t be overly materialistic. Stay
focused on people rather than objects
that may be lost or destroyed; people are
so much more important and our true
value is not what we have, it is the person
we are inside that others will respect. But
in the same vein, pay attention to the fact
that while materialism is not all of life, it
is part of it. We all need things to survive,
and while we always must remember that
things are not everything and others aren’t
to be judged just on what they have, we
must also keep track of our things and
take care of them, conserve them and
expect respect for our things from others.
Just don’t get it in your head that things
are everything.
4. Don’t procrastinate. Always act with
a purpose. When you set your mind on
doing something, think about it, plan it as
best as you can, and then just do it. Don’t
wait forever, don’t let other people do
your job for you, and don’t get yourself
into a loop of endless planning and
worrying about it. People respect action,
and equally don’t respect procrastination.
Be very careful when dealing with
two individuals with different core
philosophies, as if you please one of
them, the other might lose respect for
you. This conundrum can often be side-
stepped by being true to yourself and
respectful of both opinions. You don’t
need to agree with other opinions; rather,
just make it clear that you’re willing to
listen. Remember that people notice the
example your children are following. If
you treat your children lovingly and teach
them to have respect for yourself and
others, you will be treated with respect
also. Try to find what you’re good at,
and use it. If you’re a good singer, be in
a school or community musical, sing for
events, etc. People will recognize you
and your talents. Bring beauty to your
surroundings by giving your neighbors
a pleasant view of your home and your
personality. Invite the people in your
neighborhood to draw near with genuine
interest and friendliness. They will want
to care about you, too.
Be circumspect about how much you
reveal about yourself to others. It grows
harder to respect someone who fails to
acknowledge the boundaries between
enough information to know someone
and too much information, especially in
workplace and social contexts.
Don’t lose yourself in socially
promoted “virtues” or
“requirements” that give an allure
of “respectability”; this confuses
respect earned for the person you
are with outward signs of amassing
things or doing something to fit in, be
it having five Ferraris in the garage
or murdering someone to fit into a
gang. Neither of these will earn you
respect––notoriety or envy maybe––
but never respect.

What is Manglik Dosha or Kuja Dosha ?
The name Manglik dosha means a Dosha
or a defect caused by the effect of planet
Mars. Manglik Dosha is found in the
kundli or Birth Chart of the Native. A
comparative analysis of the Birth Chart,
the Moon Chart & the Navamsha is done
to conclude whether a person is Manglik
or not. Manglik Dosha is also known as
Kuja dosh.
How is Mangalik Dosha formed in the
kundli/ Jathakam ?
Mangalik Dosha is formed when Mars is
placed in the 1st, 4th, 7th, 8th, 12th house
from the ascendant (lagna), Chandra
lagna (moon sign) in lagna horoscope,
Chandra horoscope or navmansha
horoscope.
The highest degree of this Manglik
dosh is formed when mars is placed in
ascendant or the seventh house. These
two placements form two most severe
manglik dosh out of which placement in
seventh is the most severe of all. Next
in severity in decreasing order come the
mars in eighth house, then forth and then
twelfth house. In addition to mars, Sun,
Saturn, Rahu and ketu’s placement in
the houses mentioned above also forms
partial Manglik dosh.
Why Mars causes this Dosh ?
Mars is considered the most malefic
planet as far as marriage of a person is
considered. Mars is a fierce planet and
its placement in certain houses results in
Mangalik dosha. Marriage is considered
as one of the most auspicious ceremony.
In Hindi the word Manglik denotes
auspiciousness. Hence a manglik dosha
makes the even inauspicious or causes
problems in this event.
What are the effects of Manglik Dosha ?
The most common effect of Manglik
dosha is - Delay in Marriage. Manglik
dosha causes the marriage to be
solemnized as late as at the age of 34
years, 38 years and even in 40s.Apart
from this if a manglik boy/girl is married
to a non-manglik spouse then the event
of death or severe accidents have been
witnessed by many couples which lead
to death, permanent disability of the non-
manglik spouse.

Karma 33
Manglik dosh formed by mars is believed
to cause following effects
1. Delay in getting married .
2. Difficulties in marital life.
3. Continuous fight between couple.
4. Divorce.
5. Death of the spouse: Manglik dosh
formed by other malefic planets.
Manglik dosh causes excessive delay in
the marriage. There are so many Boys/
girls who are afflicted by this dosha and
because of this, there are going through
a bad phase of life whether it is due to
delay in marriage, fight between couples
or divorce. Hence, it is advisable that
a Manglik boy or girl must always be
married to a manglik partner only. Some
experts have the opinion that the Manglik
Dosh is neutralized when the native
reaches his late 30s in life. I personally,
disagree on this point because in my
experience of more than 45 years I have
come across many such mishaps caused
because of this belief. It is a further belief,
that a manglik girl will have problems in
marriage till her Manglik dosh is NOT
solemnized.
What are the remedies for Manglik
dosh ?
At some places you will observe a list
of remedial measures mentioned to
solemnize the manglik or kuja dosha.
kuja dosha CANNOT be solemnized by
following some common remedies by
all. To suggest a remedy for the manglik
dosha it is necessary that a thorough
analysis of the birth chart is done by a
well learned Atharva Vedic Scholar like
Swamiji Sri Selvam Siddhar
.On the negative side of Mars/ Kuja in
our Janmakshar , the same aggression
brings about competition, argument and
conflict - which, if unchecked can lead to
domination, violence, injury and disaster.

What is a Paranormal Body?
A paranormal body or ghost or spirit
or apparition is the energy, soul or
personality of a person who has died
and has somehow gotten stuck between
this plane of existence and the next.
Some knows and some does not know
that they are dead. Mostly they have
died under traumatic, unusual or highly
emotional circumstances. Ghosts can
be perceived by the living in a number
of ways: through sight (apparitions),
sound (voices), smell (fragrances and
odors), touch and sometimes they can
just be sensed.An earthbound spirit or
paranormal body can be a human spirit
that has not properly passed over. They
have not gone onto the next level, the
light, heaven, whatever we can call it.
They remain behind, here on earth, and
the place they live we call haunted.
Sometimes there reason to stay behind
is to take care of unfinished business,
their love for their children. Often these
earthbound spirits do not remain here for
long, once they can complete their desire,
they normally pass over.
How do ghosts (paranormal body)
possess a person?
The act of possession can happen
in a few seconds or over a period of
few months. It primarily depends
how vulnerable is the person. Here
vulnerability means at a physical or
mental level. Ghost or paranormal body
weakened the possible victim by creating
a vulnerable atmosphere, like they cause
sleeplessness. Sometimes if they have the
power to create voices, they make sounds
to create a fearful atmosphere. They take
advantage of the resultant vulnerability
to create an entry point. They take
advantage of personality disorders such
as anger, fear, over-emotional nature etc.
They aggravate these personality defects
adding more vulnerability. Addition to
that they put negative thoughts, creating
self doubts, instigating depression,
causing fights between couples. The
incorrect thoughts planted in a person by
the ghost make the person misbehave.
Their normal behavior changes to a larger
extent. Ghosts destabilize a person’s
mental balance and thereby create
vulnerability. And then they take over.

Karma 35
Ghosts can possess easily when the sheath
of the physical body is separated from the
mental sheath, e.g. in dream state, state
of despair etc. In some cases this can
happen even in a meditative state. Only a
higher level ghost can take advantage of
the subtle body being separated from the
physical body during meditation.
What times the paranormal bodies are
most active?
Paranormal bodies are most active during
the transitory times like the twilight zone
between day and night, the new moon
day (dark moon) and full moon day
between the waxing and waning phases
of moon, eclipses, etc. These are periods
with highest likelihood of people being
possessed. They are also most active
between 12.00 to 3.00 a.m.
How a person get possessed?
A ghost takes possession or control of
a person through black energy. Black
energy is a spiritual negative and harmful
type of energy. The ghost infuses black
energy into the vulnerable person and
make a centre. And then onwards the
ghost goes on to progressively transmit
black energy, and make the body his
home.The possessing ghost (demon,
devil, negative energy, etc.) covers
the sheath of the physical body of the
possessed person with its own mental
and causal (intellect) body sheaths. By
this process the mental and causal body
sheaths of the possessed person become
non-functional. The person then begins
to talk, walk, think and behave according
to the new mental body sheaths of the
ghost. In a way the possessed person’s
subconscious mind is now in the control
of that particular paranormal body. Most
people suffer in silence, there are people
who have no idea that they are possessed
and lead a normal life.
What are the signs of possession?
A change in character, taste, life-style,
few changes that appear suddenly like a
person may begin to express cravings he
never had before like for specific food,
alcohol, drugs, sex or anything else, a
person’s behavior may change drastically
, a complete change in interest, change
of voice and behavior. The person may
also have wild mood swings.Sometimes
the possessed person has an idea that
something is wrong or different is
happening, sometime other’s point out
about the changes. The most common
environments where possessions occur
are hospitals, graveyards, funeral homes,
wells, battle-fields etc.
Why they trouble?
They want to enter in a person’s body or
cause trouble due to unfulfilled desires
and due to the inability to move on in
the afterlife and attain a higher positive
region or sub-region.The manifestations
of distress due to ghosts or negative
energies are varied, and can be from
a person displaying uncharacteristic
behavior to erratic violent behavior,
addictions, various physical and
psychological illnesses, family problems,
business problems etc. Also in case of
possession by powerful spirits, the voice
and mannerism of person entirely change.
Do ghosts have a gender i.e. are they
male or female?
They do not have a physical body. Hence
in this perspective there is no gender.
But on the basis of the appearance of
their subtle form and psychological
characteristics, and what they were in
the past, they have genders. When ghosts
materialize the apparent form is most
influenced by the appearance and sex of
their immediate prior birth. That is, if the
ghost were a female in the human form,

Karma 36
it would materialize as a female. Higher
order ghosts like sorcerers have the ability
to assume a form as per their liking.
Sorcerers (Maantriks) are ghosts with
very high spiritual power comparable to
the spiritual powers of Saints. In order to
acquire such levels of spiritual powers,
a sorcerer needs to perform intense
spiritual practice.
What is the lifespan of a ghost
(paranormal body, demon, devil,
negative energy, etc.)?
In case of humans, the term ‘lifespan’
means the period between their birth and
death. In the case of ghosts, this would
signify the period between the subtle
bodies becoming ghosts to their eventual
rebirth on Earth or going back to the light
or heaven. Thus the lifespan of ghosts is
varied. In the case of inferior order ghosts,
it could be anywhere around 40-400
years. Ghosts that have been relegated to
the deeper rungs of Hell and who have
lot of powers are instrumental in doing
wide-scale harm to humanity can remain
as ghosts for thousands of years.
Can paranormal bodies exist or survive
in the earth, water or fire?
Yes, all such paranormal bodies can
exist or survive in all these areas. This is
because ghosts being subtle bodies, i.e.
without physical bodies, are unaffected
by earth, water or fire. However ghosts
of a lower order like the common ghost
or those who have just entered the ghost
order fear water or fire, based on the
lingering impressions from their human
life. This soon passes away as other
ghosts educate them about their new
status.
What can a paranormal body cause in
my life?
Ghosts can be responsible for many
type of illnesses, mostly mental and
sometimes physical illnesses. They
mostly are responsible for strong
negative emotions, poor interpersonal
relationships, life breakdowns on
different levels: mental, financial, sexual,
health etc. It can manifest itself in many
ways which depends on the personality
of the person possessed, one’s conscious
and subconscious mind, needs, emotions,
lifestyle etc.
Can ghosts persuade one to commit a
suicide?
Yes, this is their first desire and motive,
they do this very often. Ghost is an entity
who passed through the death for various
reasons. Very often they are resigned and
have only little energy. As they are dead
they wish the possessed person also join
their world.
Is it possible that a ghost who has been
removed off enters someone else’s body?
Yes, it is possible. after removed by force
or leaving by choice they look for another
person to possess. Like we have a free
will , same they also have.
Are there good ghosts around?
There are both kinds of ghost, but mostly
they are evil, and in principle dangerous
for the living human beings, because
they need to steal our energy in order to
survive. Very often they also want to steal
our body to find a vehicle to fulfill their
own desires like sex, power etc.
Is possible to talk to a paranormal body?
Can they hear us?
It is very much possible to talk to ghosts,
but it is very dangerous, Talking to ghosts
is equal to summoning them, which
is very dangerous even if the ghost is
someone very close to you. When you
call them you are invoking their desire to

Karma 38
live in this world, they hear what you say.
In a way you are disturbing their peace.
This is not a good practice and one should
avoid it. There are many other adventure
sports to try.
What are the symptoms of a possessed
(haunted) house ?
If the house is possessed or we say
haunted, there are noises in your home,
waking in the middle of the night,
banging, knocking, objects moving or
falling, being touched, being raped,
the sensation of cold, the sensation of
invisible attacks, being manipulated,
humiliated and oppressed, if bruises of
unknown provenance appear on your
body, scratches, wounds, then it’s very
likely that you are not alone in the house.
In such houses the dreams become intense
nightmares. Sleep is constantly disturbed.
Constant headaches. Negative emotions-
Fear, Hate are intensified. Person might
talk aloud to the spirits. Person hears spirit
voices that confuse thinking patterns and
hinder concentration needed for school,
work and normal life. Fear that the person
can’t control or stop the spirit. Thoughts
of suicide are frequent and uncontrolled.
Who is more prone, male or female?
Females are are more prone to becoming
a victim of the spirit world compared to
men. They are more vulnerable during
their monthly cycles, if during that time
period she goes near the graveyard or a
river or lake or under trees, uses perfumes,
drinks alcohol or take drugs, keeps
herself dirty, open hairs with perfumed
oil she is inviting trouble as spirits are
everywhere and can take charge of the
female body anytime the circumstances
are right. On the other hand in men the
possibility arise when they take alcohol
in open area, urinate in open areas or
under tree, involve with women who are
possessed or are unhygienic. In both men
and women when the aura weakens the
possibility increases.
In case anybody feel that he/she is a
victim of paranormal Body, Swamiji will
cure the person, by his Atharva Vedic
healing method.

Palmistry
His Holiness Swamij Sri Selvam Siddhar
Palmistry or Hand Reading is the art of
disclosing, by means of the Hand, its form,
texture, fingers, mounts, lines etc., the secrets
of the brain together with its quality and
quantity and its action with its subsequent
results upon the character, career and life of
the individual.
The hand
is the direct
representation
of the brain
and mind.
In order to
prove this
statement and
fix relation
between brain
and the hand,
and in order to
say that hand
plays a most important role in a man’s life,
following are some observations and proofs.
On examining the texture of a of the hand of a
cultured person, it is often found to be elastic
or fine as comparable with his fine speech and
reasonable action and conduct; on the other
hand , the texture of vulgar or laborer’s hand
will be found rough and coarse, same his
speech and actions are.
When the thumb and its behaviors is
observed, in case of an infant up to 6 months
old, the thumb is always seen closed in his
palm, the infant during that age has not any
will power at all, similarly the thumb of an
Idiot appears always to be small and weak.
It is further observed that his whole hand is
small and the thumb dropped or bent towards
the palm. This adult idiot , also has no will
power.
In another example there are signs in Hand
for centuries past these have been held as
warnings of sudden death. The signs are:
· The line of life ceasing abruptly, with deep,
black spots on it.
· The line of heart beginning suddenly
(without ramifications) under the mount of
Saturn
· In both hands the line of heart
joined to the line of Mentality under the
mount of Jupiter or Saturn.
· One short line traced in each phalanx of
each finger.
This science is de-famed by a number of
fraudulent practices indulged in the reading of
hands for money, the first and essential fraud
being that the so-called palmist or chiromant
has no real knowledge of the science he or
she supposed to thoroughly conversant with.
The so-called palmist is generally ignorant
to a degree and trades shamelessly on public
credulity. These people only spread bad name
to them and to this science also.
The special significance of the human hand
was recognized at least as far back as the
stone age hand prints made in red ochre
and black pigment have been discovered in
European caves, with some particularly fine
examples to be seen in the famous Altamira
caves, at Santillana del Mar, Spain.
Dermatoglyphics is the name of the empirical
study and classification of the skin-ridge
patters found on the palms of the hand soles
of the feet. This science is somewhat related
to Palmistry, some palmists use it also while
analyzing the Hand. It is currently being used
in America and Germany to pre-diagnose and
treat latent mental and physical ill health.

Karma 40
Overcome Unconscious and
Hidden
Biases
Buried prejudice and biases
are surprisingly influential
underpinnings to all the decisions
we make, affecting our feelings
and consequently actions.
And there are times when not
recognizing this influence on your
choices and decision making can
do more harm than good. Primarily
it is very important to understand
biases in order to overcome it
and this tutorial contains a few
methods to try out to overcome
your unconscious and hidden
biases.
Understanding Bias
# Biases affect us all in ways we
seldom fully realize, even when
we have one we are aware of
and would like to deal with. We
may see ordinary, happy people
living their day-to-day life in
all kinds of environments, but
they all have a bias of some kind
which is directing their intentions.
Biases can be positive or negative
aspects of human nature; they all
influence how we act and interact
with other people and events. It’s
important to compare our biases,
because the way we create biases
in our minds is the same process for
both mild biases and severe ones.
Some aspects to consider include:
#* People from their personal
identity based on a wide scope
of aspects, but one of the most
pervasive is bias. We often hold
onto our biases because we feel they
make us what we are. However, this
is ultimately deceptive, as a bias is
not what or who we are. Indeed, our
biases change often. It is equally
proportionate to the difficulty it is
to let go of a bias in relation to how
precious it is to us.
#* People of similar thinking often
pool together, like raindrops that
form a lake. There is nothing wrong
with this, but hanging around the
like-minded can influence you quite
strongly, as a form of peer pressure.
People select their partners, friends
and associates according to personal
biases and actually often train
each other to adopt personal biases
without realizing. This is largely
because we want our friends to be
like us. It can also happen exactly
in the reverse, in that we want to
be like our friends and so we adopt
the same biases. We are highly
susceptible to influence from others

Karma 41
(current and historical life has shown we
also commit suicide, murder and even
war due to the power of influence.) And
for an example many people can relate
to––many employers look for employees
with similar thoughts and feelings.
#* Bias and prejudice may often have
been something someone has told you, or
that you heard as a third party. As such,
they’re not always your own original
opinion but one you have adopted. It may
have been adopted recently, or a long time
ago, and the older it is, the more tricky it
may be to overcome its influence.
#*Sometimes the bias reappears in
the mind on impulse, such as seeing or
hearing of something related to the object
of your bias. It can also expand by being
made aware of something that is similar
to your original bias. Very often there
is an emotion behind your prejudice,
such as greed (wanting something to be,
something to happen), hatred (rejecting
or wanting something to go away etc), or
just ignorance of the object itself.
# Explore the dynamic of biases.
Meditation is a good way to investigate
your bias as well as how your mind acts
in relation to them, as well as how they
get created. Another good method is to
discuss it with a friend, counselor, or a
psychologist
#* Bias is often a complex aspect, it
mostly because our minds rely and uses
measurement as a central way to process
data. Every interaction and experience
we encounter is measured by the mind
in order to analyse and determine it.
This determination can be a bias on its
own (either a new one, or reinforcing an
old one), but this determination depends
on pre-existing biases and assumptions
as well as experiences that you have
developed over your lifetime.
#* The process of measurement is
almost exclusively related to the past,
specifically information we have heard
or been influenced towards by other
people, or our own experiences. If a mind
is free from such bias and assumptions,
it will typically approach the event with
a clean slate, but with the clear intention
of determining what it is. Recognizing
this dependence on the past, or that the
reflection of the past we measure against
is not actually the thing we experience
right now is a very useful way to
overcome bias.
#* People consequently seldom like those
who “sit on the fence”, who are secretive
about their feelings or are neutral. The
reason for this is that they cannot easily
categorize, predict or rely on such people
to be manipulable to suit their own
agenda. Being able to rely on another
person is an important aspect, but while
a person may be reliable, without trust
people would still be hesitant to rely on
that person. Trust is often built on finding
common biases and prejudice as a way to
identify with a person (and for probability
calculating).
#*The flipside is the case when a person
sees someone with skillful, beneficial or
admirable qualities and feels inclined to
adopt and practice these same positive
qualities. This is usually called positive
influence but it works in the same way
as its opposite case (when someone
adopts harmful or unskillful biases from
negative influences). We model our good
behavior from qualities we all have, but
only from seeing others do them in a
normal environment. Adopting biases is
a way to be accepted by others, be it for

better or worse, but can also be a way to
improve oneself if the biases are of the
positive kind.
Working on the Bias
# Recognize that the specific bias exists.
This is the beginning stage to enable you
to overcome it. If you can, this means
admitting there is a bias, as in really
admitting it, not just thinking there is a
bias. Often this is very difficult for most
people to do honestly, as it is somewhat
of a humbling act. But doing this will
help you to explore it more in depth, as
you are prepared to be more open. By
recognizing your bias and what it relies
on to stay in the mind, then you are one
step closer to getting rid of it.
# Consider why it is usually so difficult
to remove biases. There are often three
main problems at play:
#*1. You often feel distant and
uncomfortable with the fact that the
object of the bias simply exists. This
can be because you don’t actually know
anything about the focus of your bias.
You might have heard plenty of negative
stories about what you have a bias of, but
how much of that is true or relevant?
#*2. Asyouidentifywithyourprejudices,
it can feel like you are surrendering
part of yourself up, or betraying your
cultural identity for someone else you
don’t know. These issues are often the
main cause why many are reluctant to
overcome their bias. Of these problems,
the exact same question has to be asked
as that of the bias––is it causing you
more harm than good?
#*3. You may feel you have a bias but
have not really come to a conclusion that
it should be abandoned. Consequently,
many parts of your mind will struggle
against overcoming them as the bias is
still attractive to certain parts of the mind.
# Ask yourself questions. This is an
effective way to not only gain an insight
but to lessen the grip the bias has on you.
Whenever the thought or bias arises, you
can ask yourself: “Is this bias of mine
fair, relevant or even worthy of having?”;
or, “does this prejudice own me?”; or,
“does this help anyone?”; or, “OK, it’s a
prejudice, but what is this prejudice, how
did I get it, why is it so powerful, why do
I find it important?”. This can help you
understand as well as let go of the thought
as it no longer seems attractive.
#* Many philosophers have also pointed
out the benefits of being unbiased, in that
you are virtually nonstick. Not only in a
way that mud doesn’t stick to you, even
though life will always throw it at you,
but also that as you wade through life, you
can avoid it sticking to you and getting
swamped. This means you can avoid
getting snarled in pointless arguments, as
you have transcended a powerful bait and
trap system and you can be more happy,
healthy and wise.

Karma 43
# Meet the object of your bias head
on with an open mind. The most
effective (and hardest) way to get
around it is to meet it face to face.
Say you have a bias against a certain
religion or nationality. Find out if
their society or embassy is holding
an open day and then go and meet
people of that group. Your bias
might be unjustified and you might
meet some new friends at the same
time
#* Look for the humanity in the
object of your prejudice. Everyone
is human and has feelings, thoughts,
wishes and dreams. It’s just that
everyone identifies with their own
culture and at some time in history,
their culture was isolated from yours
and developed differences.
#* Use movements of time to your
advantage. Biases have their roots in
time, which means they are subject
to change as well as modification.
With each passing month or year, or
a special date such as a birthday, you
can use these measurements of time
to choose and commit to leave the
past behind and look at the future
with a clean slate. # Ultimately take
things a step at a time. It becomes
easier the more you want to let go
of the bias. The whole process of
overcoming a bias is to understand
what a bias is and how you got
them, whether they are for your
benefit and well-being or will
make you cold-hearted and cruel.
Finally check your own feelings
about subjects regularly. Doing
this can allow you to start to
build practice and skills in letting
go of the bias, able to overcome
it through investigation and
attention.
*If you have ever meditated
before, try looking into [[Practice
Loving Kindness Meditation
(Metta)|goodwill]] meditation.
This is where you wish yourself,
your loved ones, friends and
acquaintances all the way down
to strangers and people in other
lands to be happy, healthy and
successful. This is very helpful to
overcomeanyillwillinyourbiases
as eventually you build strength
to be able to wish those you
have prejudice against the exact
same happiness and health. This
does take some time to develop
however as it requires a strong
foundation of understanding.

Part:-1 Saying goodbye to friends
Parting ways with people (and other
beings) is part of the natural order of life,
teaching you to grow as a human being
and helping you to come to terms with
life and its foibles. Through a small shift
in perspective, you can open up a new
way of seeing separation that takes you
beyond your own sorrow. Within many a
sad goodbye is often the reality of more
positive things, such as release, freedom,
joy or even new opportunities.
1.Plan an appropriate time to talk before
the departure. Choose an enjoyable
occasion––maybe over dinner, strolling
down by your favorite waterfront or
spending time together doing something
both of you have always enjoyed.
Remember that this is about making
beautiful last memories for both of you
to hold onto.
2. Talk about the good times you’ve had.
Recount your funniest stories. Dig deep
into your past: the things you’ve done
together, the things that happened while
you were friends, the time you have
spent together, how you met.
3. Tell your friend how much he or she
means to you. Our friends tend to hold
some of our most special relationships,
they are the ones with whom we share our
thoughts and feelings and enjoy similar
interests together. Our friends make life
more pleasant.
4. Make plans to stay in touch. Try to
commit to something concrete so that
communication doesn’t slip away. For
example, you can commit to doing one
Skype chat a week to catch up.
5. Make your goodbye personal. Stay
with your friend for as long as you
can. Before you leave, and when you
leave, give them a hug, and say “It’s not
goodbye, it’s just... farewell until we
meet again”. You’ll hopefully see each
other again someday.
Part Two: Saying goodbye to a family
member.
Saying goodbye to someone who’s been
with you all of your life, raised you, or
has been kind to you, takes its toll. We
tend to have a different relationship with
our family than we do with other people
in our lives, for they have not only
known us our whole lives, but are often
the people around whom we can truly be
ourselves.

Karma 45
1. Spend as much time as you can with
your family member. If it’s a set date
at when they’re leaving, invite them to
do fun stuff with you, look at a photo
memory book, or just be together. They
won’t mind if you cry a bit––if anything,
they’ll know you’ll miss them. It may
also give them an opportunity to release
their own emotions, knowing it’s safe
to do so around you. If they do Skype,
arrange it so that you can chat with them
when they’re away. If they don’t Skype,
set up an account and show them how to
use it.
2. Be kind to yourself. Feeling sad and
crying is a natural way to release and
express your emotions. Only a person
who has truly come to terms with the
event and transcended their feelings is
able to wish goodbye in the face of the
sorrows of life. Releasing your emotions
helps you get over your feelings and it
may help to know it’s all done with and
now you can move on.
If you’re feeling angry, or if it’s just how
you get over things, express yourself
constructively. It’ll help get your anger
out and the bad stuff inside of you can
get out.
They’ll always be in your memory, and
keep the thought that they’ll probably be
back. Time goes faster than you expect.
Part Three: Saying goodbye to a dying
person.
1.Accept it, forgive it and let it go. Know
that it’s life, just like anything else––
being born, and living––death is part of
that, it’s a reflection of the nature of life.
2.Spend as much time with your loved
one as possible. Be with him or her and
support them.
If the being you’re saying goodbye to is
a pet, give it a comfortable place next to
you, and be with it.
3.Recognize and relinquish feelings of
inadequacy. Often, people feel that they
have failed when they cannot save or keep
those they love. Sometimes they may feel
rage or despair that no matter what they
have tried, it made no difference and that
life once again, has taken things away.
4.Say goodbye when it’s time. As sad as
it is, many people don’t get to even say
goodbye to a loved one before they pass.
Where it is possible, be with the departing
person, comfort them and give your last
regards and best wishes.
One of the kindest gifts the living can
give to the dying is the blessing to take
the next journey. Be reassuring and tell
them it’s okay and simply be there for
them.
Part Four: Saying goodbye to a co-
worker.
1.Buy a card. Ask the whole staff sign
it with their best wishes. Encourage
personalization.
2.Be open and friendly. It’s important to
let a departing co-worker know where
you stand. If you want to keep in contact,
