Ketu is a spiritual planet which is opposite to materialistic
effects. A person running benefic Ketu Maha Dasa can enjoy benefits of
wealth as well as spritual knowledge. They will be interested in doing
activtities charity organization, temples, etc. Ketu is capable of
completely satisfying or removing the interest on the house it
occupies.This is one of the reason people do fear of Ketu when it
occupies 7th house. Since 7th house represents spouse, the person may
not be interested in marriage life or can not lead successful married
life. This is NOT true when Ketu is coming as a malefic planet.
Ketu is capable of giving spiritual knowledge. Ketu can do this in two ways that is either by giving enormous of amount of wealth and popularity so that the person will get satisfied completely and then move towards spiritual path. Or by making the person suffer like anything and make him think that he or she wants to finish up all the duties on this birth and travel towards Moksha.
The support of Ketu is important to avoid rebirth and attain moskha. With respect to this perspective, no matter ketu is malefic or benefic. As long as Ketu suports your destiny towards no rebirth, then that is good enough.
The person born in Aswini, Makam and Moolam stars will start their life with Ketu Maha Dasa. Note that no nakshatra is called dosha or yoga nakshatra. Moolam is one the great star and the people born in Moolam star will have the strong support of Jupiter.
When Ketu occupies on 3rd, 6th and 11th house of the horoscope, then it yield favorable results. This is only a general rule. There are lots of exceptions to this rule. People born in Mehsa (Aries), Meena (Pisces) and Kataga (Cancer) lagna, will enjoy the most benefits of Ketu Maha Dasas. People born in Thula (Libra) and Makara (Capricorn) lagna will experience the worst part of Ketu Maha Dasa.

Your poor joints are stiff, inflamed and achy from osteoarthritis—but
the medications that reduce your pain also can have serious side
effects, such as gastrointestinal bleeding, liver and kidney damage, and
increased risk for heart attack and stroke.
Safer solution: Consider the Ayurvedic approach to osteoarthritis treatment, which relies on natural herbs and spices to bring relief, suggested Nancy Lonsdorf, MD, author of The Ageless Woman: Natural Health and Beauty After Forty with Maharishi Ayurveda. (Men, this arthritis relief works for you, too.)
The following four Ayurvedic arthritis remedies have been used in ancient Indian medicines and in cooking for more than 5,000 years. And they really work—a study presented at a meeting of the American College of Rheumatology showed a combination herbal Ayurvedic therapy to be as effective in treating knee osteoarthritis as the commonly prescribed medication celecoxib (Celebrex). Dr. Lonsdorf recommended…
Important: According to a Boston University study, some commercial Ayurvedic herbal remedies contain lead, mercury and/or arsenic in amounts exceeding regulatory standards. Dr. Lonsdorf endorses Maharishi Ayurveda (mapi.com), a company that has been in business for nearly 30 years. If you are interested in a different brand, to guard against contamination, Dr. Lonsdorf suggested, “Contact the seller to make sure the company tests every batch in the US for heavy metals, as well as for parasites and fungus.”
To make sure that the specific ingredients are safe and appropriate for you and to get dosage recommendations, consult a physician who is knowledgeable about Ayurvedic medicine

- Boswellia (Indian frankincense). This comes from the resin of the Boswellia serrata plant. It works by blocking an enzyme involved in the formation of leukotrienes, chemicals that trigger inflammation. Note: Boswellia may cause a reaction in people who are allergic to ragweed, and it can irritate the gastrointestinal tract (especially if taken alone rather than in a balanced combination formula as traditionally used) .
- Turmeric. The active ingredient in this spice, curcumin, interferes with three important inflammation-producing enzymes—so it disrupts the inflammatory process at three different stages, said Dr. Lonsdorf. Turmeric also may provide some protection against the damage that pain-relieving medications can do to the gastrointestinal tract.
- Ginger. Various studies have demonstrated ginger’s ability to reduce pain and inflammation by interfering with inflammatory enzymes. Bonus: Ginger also aids digestion. Why should that matter? Because according to Ayurvedic principals, poor digestion is a primary trigger for arthritis. Dr. Lonsdorf explained, “When we eat improper foods or our digestion is weak, food is not broken down into small molecules, so larger-than-normal molecules get absorbed into the bloodstream. These biochemical impurities circulate, eventually getting localized in a tissue and initiating swelling. When the affected tissue is a joint, the result is arthritis.”
- Ashwagandha. This herb is also known as winter cherry or Indian ginseng. Lab studies suggest that it has anti-inflammatory properties that protect against cartilage damage. In addition, animal studies provide evidence that the herb combats stress. Dr. Lonsdorf explained, “When we are stressed, the hormones cortisol and epinephrine cause a breakdown of various body tissues. Ashwagandha helps alleviate the damaging effects of stress by restoring the proper hormonal balance to the nervous system, which in turn strengthens the immune system and further reduces inflammation.” Caution: Since Ashwagandha makes your immune system more active, it is not appropriate for people who have an autoimmune disorder, including rheumatoid arthritis. Rarely, Ashwagandha can irritate the gastrointestinal tract.
USING AYURVEDIC HERBS
Ayurvedic herbal products are available in health-food stores and online. For maximum convenience and effect, Dr. Lonsdorf recommended that osteoarthritis patients take an herbal supplement that combines several of the herbs and spices listed above, such as Maharishi Ayurveda’s Flexcel, which contains boswellia, ashwagandha and ginger as well as other natural ingredients that further support joint and bone health. This product does not contain turmeric, so Dr. Lonsdorf suggested using the spice liberally in the kitchen. “Turmeric added to food is more important than in a formula because you can get much a greater quantity that way. I recommend adding turmeric to every meal and cooking it into each dish, even if only in small amounts, for its cumulative anti-inflammatory and antioxidant protection,” she said.Important: According to a Boston University study, some commercial Ayurvedic herbal remedies contain lead, mercury and/or arsenic in amounts exceeding regulatory standards.

The urea and Creatinine are wastes formed as a result of metabolic
reactions in the body. The urea is formed by protein breakdown and
creatinine is usually a muscle metabolic waste formed by breakdown of
Creatinine.
In normal healthy persons, the body maintains its urea and creatinine levels. The blood urea levels are maintained in healthy humans. In case of some medical condition, the levels become imbalanced and cause derangement in the normal body functioning.
When the kidneys cannot take the load of these metabolic wastes itself, the body becomes sick regularly due to accumulation of the metabolic wastes. The body is not able to remove the excess fluid and electrolytes from the body. The patient starts complaining of problems of liver, kidneys, and heart. In such cases, the artificial dialysis system comes into play. It helps to clean the body of metabolic wastes and filter the blood.
The ayurvedic herbs help the renal failure cases in a natural, herbal way and the patient recovers from kidney failure in a healthy way. The person gains immunity naturally and the body becomes stronger and regains its strength. The kidney tissue becomes stronger and the nephrons increase in size and number for better functioning of the kidneys. In this way, Ayurvedic herbs for renal failure help a person without the use of external dialysis.
In normal healthy persons, the body maintains its urea and creatinine levels. The blood urea levels are maintained in healthy humans. In case of some medical condition, the levels become imbalanced and cause derangement in the normal body functioning.
WHAT IS DIALYSIS?
Dialysis can be defined as an artificial system to remove excess of metabolic and other wastes from the blood in people with renal failure who have weak kidneys that cannot handle the metabolic load. The dialysis can be used in case of acute kidney dysfunctioning or in case of chronic kidney failure.WHEN DOES A PATIENT REQUIRE DIALYSIS?
The condition in which a patient requires dialysis is when the body metabolic wastes increase in the blood rather than passing out through urine. The blood becomes more and more saturated with these wastes and the person becomes sick. It is an indicator that the kidneys are unable to handle the heavy solute filtrate and therefore the blood is not cleansed completely.When the kidneys cannot take the load of these metabolic wastes itself, the body becomes sick regularly due to accumulation of the metabolic wastes. The body is not able to remove the excess fluid and electrolytes from the body. The patient starts complaining of problems of liver, kidneys, and heart. In such cases, the artificial dialysis system comes into play. It helps to clean the body of metabolic wastes and filter the blood.
HOW CAN AYURVEDA HELP PEOPLE ON DIALYSIS?
Ayurvedic system of medicine is an ancient Indian system of medicine that uses the inherent power of herbs to help diseases in a natural and healthy way. We in Ayurveda believe that the body is controlled by three different energies which are Vada, Pitta, and Kappha. These energies maintain the balance in our bodies and any imbalance in these energies may disorient the body system.The ayurvedic herbs help the renal failure cases in a natural, herbal way and the patient recovers from kidney failure in a healthy way. The person gains immunity naturally and the body becomes stronger and regains its strength.

It was during an impromptu meeting with intellectuals and seekers at
Punjabi poet Amrita Pritam's house in Delhi, India, that Sai Kaka
casually revealed: "I have been to Gyanganj several times over the past
half decade." Or, rather, he is taken there every time by a sage—for
spiritual instruction and immortal teachings.
This instruction must be of a high order because the 50-plus, bearded and white-robed Sai Kaka has now been teaching whoever approaches him. The man from Sangli in the south-western Indian state of Maharashtra, who studied with Swami Muktananda and Nisargadatta Maharaj, is always on the move, having chosen not to raise an ashram or an organization.
On questioning, he replies in chaste Hindi that Gyanganj exists on a different plane, a higher dimension—a shambala. But, yes, on the gross level it has parallel locations in known places on earth.
So, is there a secret territory in our midst, which has uncannily escaped all geographical surveys? A place that provides the perfect environment and opportunities for spiritual evolution? A place from where thousands of immortals and faultlessly sage beings plan the evolution of the human race, in fact, of all sentient beings?
Down-to-earth empirical reality or just bad science fiction?
Well, the belief that such a place exists, camouflaged and secluded somewhere in the deep Himalayas, has filtered down through Indian and Tibetan traditions.
Contemporary references to it are plenty, as is the testimony of people like Sai Kaka who declare they have been there. The belief in a sequestered valley of immortals seems to be headed for immortality .
In Tibet, this legendary land of spiritual enlightenment is known as Shambala, a Sanskrit word which to the Tibetans means "the source of happiness". It is not heaven on earth but a mystical kingdom that guards the most sacred and secret spiritual teachings of the world, including the Kalachakra (Wheel of Time), the pinnacle of Buddhist wisdom.
Buddhists trace Shambala to Gautama Buddha who is said to have assumed the form of the Kalachakra deity before his death and delivered his highest teaching to a group of adepts and gods in south India. Among those present was King Suchandra, the first king of Shambala, who wrote down the sermons and took them back with him.
Various Buddhist texts give instructions for finding Shambala, though directions are obscure. It is assumed that only accomplished yogis will find it. The kingdom is hidden in the mists of the snow mountains and can be reached only by flying over them with the help of siddhis or spiritual powers. James Hilton's novel, Lost Horizon, about the lost kingdom of Shangri-La, was inspired by the legend of Shambala. Shangri-La has since come to mean a remote, beautiful, imaginary place where life approaches perfection; utopia, in short.
Shambala was not a figment of the imagination for Madame Blavatsky , founder of the Theosophical Society . She considered it the abode of the mahatmas or spiritual adepts, in the mountains of Tibet, Mongolia and India. They live on through centuries in various incarnations, perpetuating the knowledge of earlier, more spiritually advanced, civilizations like the Egyptian and the Greek, and teach it to worthy pupils.
One of these adepts, Koot Hoomi (or Kuthumi Baba, at least 500 years old) was Blavatsky's guru.
In India, this secret, sacred land is known as Gyanganj or Siddhashram. References to Gyanganj or secret ashrams can be found in Hindu scriptures such as Valmiki Ramayan and Mahabharat. Guru Nanak called it Sach Khand.
Closer to our time, Paramahansa Yogananda, in his celebrated Autobiography of a Yogi wrote about meeting his guru's guru's guru, Mahavatar Babaji, an immortal of great age who looks forever young and continues to live in the Badrinath section of the Himalayas.
Babaji has also appeared to some other advanced seekers and is believed to be connected with Gyanganj. For a comprehensive account of Gyanganj, Sai Kaka directs you to the writings of Gopinath Kaviraj who died in 1976. A former principal of the Government College of Sanskrit in Benaras, Kaviraj wrote a book titled Siddhabhoomi Gyanganj, which has been translated from Bengali into Hindi and published recently by Bharatiya Vidya Prakashan.
Kaviraj's main source of information was his own guru, Swami Vishudhananda, a Bengali who settled down in Benaras, a holy city in India. Vishudhananda is believed to have sojourned many times in Gyanganj where he mastered Surya Vigyan or solar science. Surya Vigyan gave him powers to manifest objects or transform one object into another by manipulating the sun's rays. In his autobiography, Yogananda describes his meeting with Vishudhananda in Calcutta and witnessing his feat of creating any perfume on demand out of thin air. Paul Brunton in his book A Search in Secret India wrote that he not only witnessed Vishudhananda create perfumes, but also bring a dead bird back to life.
Dr Narayan Dutt Shrimali, a Jodhpur-based astrologer-tantrik-guru who publishes Mantra-Tantra-Yantra Vigyan, a Hindi monthly, says he did his sadhana in Siddhashrarn, where his name was Nikhileshwarananda. It is there that he acquired occult powers. Later, his guru told him that they wanted him to return to his householder's life and spread the wisdom of Siddhashram. Literature published by him promises that initiation by him is a passport to Siddhashram. But he refuses to reveal more details of his Gyanganj connection.
Shrimali's and Kaviraj's accounts of Gyanganj are similar. They place it mainly on a flatland to the north of Kailash-Mansarovar in Tibet. It covers an area of many square miles and is surrounded by a lake (or moat) with crystal clear water. There is a bow-shaped drawbridge, which links Gyanganj to our world.
The Gyanganj end of this bridge has a gadget to lift the bridge when desired. This gadget is operated by Surya Vigyan. Kaviraj names many other places, scattered in India, as Gyanganj territory. The area on the banks of Alaknanda river is where the siddhas roam. Mandakini's riverbed is also very mysterious: spiritual giants down the centuries have beheld celestial sights there. Thus, the entire region from Rishikesh to Kailash and Yamunotri to Nandadevi is siddhaland. In Bihar, many Buddhist siddhas frequent the Giridhkoot mountain. The Nilgiris and Srisailam in south India, too, are known to harbor secret ashrams. Arunachala hill in Tamil Nadu, where Ramana Maharshi set up his ashram, is another siddhaland. In the west, Girnaur mountain has seen siddha activity.
Teaching in arts and sciences including medicine, rasayan shastra, music and astrology also goes on here. Indians, of course, do not have a monopoly over Gyanganj. People from other parts of the world, including many Tibetan lamas, live there too.
Sai Kaka adds that Gyanganj functions on all three levels: "On the adhyatmic or spiritual level, it runs the universe. On the adhidevik or celestial level, the earth and water elements are absent, enabling very powerful activity. At this level, Gyanganj impacts on many planes and the beings there.
"On the adhibhautic or the grossest level," he continues, "Gyanganj siddhas provide guidance to human beings to initiate changes in the spiritual and even social fields. Suppose a seeker is stuck somewhere in his path, he could be guided in the form of an intuition, or some kriya triggered in his subtle body or his guru is inspired to do the needful."
Sai Kaka argues from his experience with, and knowledge of, Gyanganj, that all's well with whatever is going on in human affairs. "Earlier the suffering in the world would make me emotional, would pain me and fill me with compassion. Now I realize that right and wrong, good and bad exist on the relative plane—of mind, intellect and ego—and are an interplay of the three gunas.
From God's viewpoint, there is nonduality. Creation and dissolution are part of the continual flow." Though there can be no evolution in a flow, Sai Kaka concedes that Gyanganj is engaged in transforming world consciousness. Maybe with the collective consciousness rising, Gyanganj will become more manifest and easily accessible to human beings.
