Remedies for Balarishta yoga

The remedies are always horoscope specific and cannot be generalized for any event. The first 8 years of the child are governed by the punya or meritorous deeds of his parents, hence parents are advised to do more and more japa, daana and avoid doing any sinful acts which can affect the child. They should seek prayaschitta and perform remedies according to malefic planets in their horoscopes.

One is also advised to avoid falling in traps of “Balarishta yantra” etc, If you really want to have protection of your child you yourself can take up some purascharana or get any remedies done via a brahmana with sankalpa for protection of a new born.

The following remedies in general can be performed:

• Propitiation of planet causing arishta yoga.
• Tula daan and ayushya homa.
• Mrityunjaya japa and homa only in critical cases.
• Some anusthana with sankalpa like recitation of Ram raksha stotra, Vishnu panjar stotra which protect can be under taken by parents to protect child.

They should seek advise and remedies from a good daivagnya if they see any balarishta yogas in the horoscope of a new born child.
