MOOLA - UNFORTUNATE BIRTHDAYS

What is Moola?
Ghanda Moola is when a child is born at an inauspicious time. At that moment in time for that day, the ruling star constellation is indicated by the Vedic degree of the Moon at the time of birth of a child. Ghanda means death inflicting; creation of sickness or separation of family.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN A CHILD IS BORN IN MOOLA?
The father should not see the child until a special Puja is done or else disaster will strike the family. For the past year, I have been consulted by many Pundits and Students of this science, asking the reason for some of the disasters that followed the birth of a baby in the family.  The knowledge of MOOLA NAKSHTRAS (star) is an ancient one but apparently was partially lost over the centuries, as our people gave up the transcendental side of life in exchange for the temporary existence of material life. True knowledge gave way to aggressiveness and quest for material acquisitions.

GHANDA MOOLA IS WHEN A FATHER SHOULD NOT SEE A BABY IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE BIRTH. It has always been known by the Ancient scientists that when babies
are born, it is the coming of the soul with all it's "Bad" and "Good" karmas. All of this energy is concentrated in the eyes and face of the baby. If however this energy is negative, it is transferred immediately to the eyes of the father who will then carry it for a while as he communicates with family members. Usually this "negative" energy can cause death of the child, separation of its parents, death of a family member or family relation.  If the proper Vedic rules are not followed, this energy will be carried by the baby throughout its life and at the time of marriage it can cause death of the in-laws or other relatives.

To prevent disaster in the family, it is important that the father should check with a Hindu Priest or astrologer before going to see the new born baby. In our adopted Western lifestyle, unlike the olden days, fathers are asked to be with the mother in the hospital and watch the birth of the baby. This is dangerous. If a child is born under Moola, then the father should not see the child until the proper puja is done. In some cases where the father is really anxious to see the baby, he may do this by looking at a reflection of the baby through a mirror. In other instances the father may be able to see the child after a period of 21 or 29 days have passed. Under no circumstances however, must the father look directly at the baby unless advised to do so by a competent Hindu priest.

Some of our Pundits believe that there are only four Nakshatras or birth stars responsible for Ghanda Moola - ASHWLESA, MAGHA, MOOLA and JYESHTA.  According to the Vedic literature, there are really TWELVE Ghanda Moola Stars. These are:  ASHWINI, KRITIKKA, MAGHA, JYESHTA, CHITRA, MOOLA, ASHWELSA,REVATI,UTTRA-PHALGUNI PUSHYA, PURVASHADA, HASTA. Only parts of these stars known as 'Padas' or sections are considered to be Ghanda Moola. Below you will find those specific degrees that apply to the part of the Ghanda Moola stars.

In terms of the Vedic degree of the MOON, they are as follows:
 
 

There are other types of MOOLA BIRTHS which are very important for the Hindu Priest to consider when checking the birth of a baby. They are as follows.

1: PREMATURE BIRTHS

    5th month - Will affect the love life of the parents
    6th month - Will create conflict in family
     7th month - Will attract religious enemies
     8th month - Will affect parents finances

2: In addition to the stars the following are also unlucky

    Eclipses (Garahan) - Moon or Sun
    Atepath
    Bhadras            - Bad Lunar days
    Sakrant            - When Sun/Moon is changing Zodiac
    Gandas             - Bad parts of Stars*
    Chaudasi           - Day before Full or New Moon
    Amavasya           - Day Before New moon

    Mondays Child's Ear should be pierced

*The first 3 degrees of the Stars Ashwlesa, Jyeshta, Revati, Magha are Gandas. If birth occurs in day, then it is bad for fathers; if the child is born at night,then it is bad for the mother.  Father must not look at the baby until the proper puja is done.

3: BIRTH IN KARTIKA MONTH IN CERTAIN YEARS (MALMAS)

4: BIRTH IN 6TH OR 8TH HOUSE OF MOON

5: THE FIRST OR 1OTH BORN CHILD IN THE FAMILY WILL STRUGGLE IN LIFE

6: THE 4TH OR 13TH BORN CHILD HAS TO WORK HARD FOR HIS OR HER LIVING

7: THE 6TH OR 15TH BORN CHILD WILL SUFFER TREMENDOUS WITH HEALTH PROBLEM

8: THE 9TH OR 18TH BORN CHILD WILL SUFFER FROM FINANCIAL GOVT. PROBLEMS

9: TETAR BETI/BETA - i.e.. After 3 girls comes a boy (Tetar Beta) or after 3 boys comes a girl (Tetra Beti)

There are also more serious MOOLAS. Some people can be born under the Snake Energy or NAAG KANYA. Usually this is observed as hairs growing on the back in the shape of a snake from the bottom of the spine to the head. In such case, death of the spouse will be immediate after sexual consummation. Special remedies are available to counteract this effect before marriage. A special tuft of hair in the middle of the back of a person will guarantee the death of an elder person of the in-law side of the family. Another type of moola is evident when a woman or a man has FLAT FEET, i.e: there is no arch on the bottom of the foot. This affliction causes the person to lose all the money and property of the household in which he or she resides.

Relief from Ghanda Moola is really very simple once your Pundits have the correct knowledge. All they have to do is find out the Hindu degree of the Moon at the time of birth. If that degree of the Moon show that the birth is a Ghanda Moola birth, then your pundit will know the proper puja that is needed to be performed BEFORE the father is allowed to see the baby.
 

Case History
In one of my recent experiences, a baby was born in Kritikka Nakshatra. The family consulted with me after enduring one disaster after another. I found out that the grandfather had died 2 months after the birth. Immediately thereafter, the baby was afflicted with epilepsy. Repeated visits to hospitals and doctors did not help. After I was called, I found out that the the family was suffering from the effects of the Ghanda Moola star. I gave the proper instructions to the parents but perhaps doubt entered their minds. They called a local Pundit to get a second opinion and he told the parents that Kritikka Nakshatra was not a Ghanda Moola star. The proper Puja was not done. Sad to say, a week later the baby died. The family called me again and I explained that the baby died because the proper procedures were not followed. I knew that this was not the end of disaster in that family. Other family members were in line for problems. So I made a personal call to the Pundit. Thankfully, he was not blinded by EGO, but rather was quite receptive to my teaching. After our discussion, he performed the proper procedures and the family achieved some peace in their lives thereafter.

Afterword
I am saddened to see needless suffering in hundreds of families within our Hindu community. Our Vedic Scriptures are so rich with information that can easily help us all live in happiness and harmony. I urge each of you to listen to "that little small voice" within yourself rather than following blindly any advise that you receive. If you are not sure or confident with an answer, do ask your Pundit for proof from the Vedic scriptures. May the Gods bless you with true knowledge.

REMEDIES FOR ALL THE ABOVE MOOLA BIRTHS CAN BE FOUND IN SWAMI RAM'S MOOLA PUJA BOOK. Send for your copy or Contact the Jyotish Ashram or one of the Hindu Learning Centres in Miami, New York or Toronto.
