D20 Prashna for Remedy Deity: 5th+9th Lord in D20 of Prashna=Deity for Specific Issue; Pranay Prashna D20=9L Moon Exalted Aspects Lagna=Gauri/Chamundeshwari. D20 2nd House=Family Deity(Occupants+Lord); SRAW Rahu in Own Sign Aspects 2H D20=Venkateshwara. PVNR Teaching: Moon=Observer(Not Intellect); Weak Moon=Stimulus Reception Problem; Advice: Stimulate Mind Externally+Break Shell Gently
D20 Prashna rule for remedy deity: "When using Prashna for remedies, look at the D20 of the Prashna chart; the 5th lord shows the upasana that can help; the 9th lord shows how God's grace can come for this specific issue; use D20 Prashna to find the remedy deity." Pranay Prashna (March 5, 2012, 6:44 PM, Dracut MA): Prashna chart itself = lagna lord Mercury debilitated, Mandi/Gulika afflicting lagna, Papakartari; BUT Jupiter + Venus (9L+7L Raj Yoga) in 8H, Jupiter aspects Mars+Saturn (checks Papakartari planets), Venus aspects Saturn (90%) = "Raj Yoga planets aspecting planets causing Papakartari = can counter affliction; some potential for hope." Prashna D20: 9L Moon exalted in 7H, aspects lagna = "9L Moon exalted and aspecting lagna in D20 of Prashna → Moon/Gauri/Parvati worship will help; same conclusion from natal + prashna = Chamunda or Gauri/Parvati." PVNR teaching on Moon-autism link: "Mercury = analytical intellect (NOT primary problem); Jupiter = discrimination (also not primarily affected); Moon = the observer — the mind that interacts with and reacts to the world; weak Moon = oversensitive reactions, poor stimulus correlation; not fundamental intellectual deficiency but reception problem." Practical advice: "Stimulate the mind externally — talk to him constantly, expose him to many situations, don't let him retreat into routine; break his shell gently; the mind can learn to correlate inputs if stimuli are provided abundantly and consistently." D20 family deity rule: "2nd house of D20 = family deity; occupants and lord of 2nd house show the deity worshipped in the family." SRAW's D20 (Cancer Vimshamsa lagna, rectified): 2nd house = Venus + Moon → female deity; Rahu in Aquarius (Kumbha = hills sign) aspects 2nd house = "Rahu in own sign aspecting 2nd + Saturn aspect present = Venkateshwara connection; Varahamihira and Venkateshwara are associated." Family independently confirmed: Lord Venkateshwara ✓.
"Mercury is the intellect. Jupiter is discrimination. But Moon is the observer — the mind that receives the world. When Moon is weak, the process of receiving stimuli and correlating sounds, images, and facial expressions into a coherent picture of reality is disturbed. This is not an intellectual deficiency. This is a reception problem. What can you do? Stimulate the mind. Talk constantly. Expose him to many situations. Don't let him retreat into his shell. If he hears enough words, sees enough faces, is given enough stimuli — the mind can learn to correlate. That is how to help."
— P.V.R. Narasimha Rao
Example Chart
Prashna — Is There Hope for Improvement?
Prashna chart (March 5, 2012, 6:44 PM; Dracut, MA):
- Lagna lord Mercury debilitated in 7th
- Mandi/Gulika afflicting lagna; Papakartari from malefics
- BUT: Jupiter + Venus (9th lord + 7th lord Raj Yoga) in 8th house
- Jupiter aspects Mars (85% aspect) + Saturn (65% aspect) → checks the Papakartari planets
- Venus aspects Saturn (90% aspect) very closely
- "Raj Yoga planets aspecting their own friends who cause Papakartari — can counter the affliction"
- Moon (11th lord) in 11th house in Moon sign = slightly stronger than natal (not in Gandanta)
- "There is some potential for hope. The Raj Yoga between Jupiter and Venus can partially save the situation"
Moon's Role in Autism
PVNR's teaching on weak Moon and autism:
- Mercury = analytical intellect (buddhi) — NOT the primary problem here
- Jupiter = discrimination (dhisakti) — also not primarily affected
- Moon = the observer — the mind that interacts with and reacts to the world
- "When Moon is very weak, the process of receiving stimuli and correlating sounds, images, and expressions into a coherent picture of the world is disturbed"
- "Oversensitivity follows: too scared of some things, too drawn to others. Polarity reactions. Not a fundamental intellectual deficiency but a reception problem."
PVNR's practical advice:
— PVNR"Stimulate the mind externally. Talk to him constantly, expose him to many situations, don't let him retreat into routine. Break his shell gently. The mind can learn to correlate inputs if the stimuli are provided abundantly and consistently."
Remedies
1. Gandanta Shanti: For Moon in Ashlesha Gandanta — Parashara prescribes Gandanta Shanti puja (homam with Sarpa/Ashlesha nakshatra deity, with Vedic mantras for Moon)
2. Chamundeshwari:
- Moon with Mars (debilitated); Moon in Sarpa nakshatra + Sarpa Drekkana; Mars = slightly fierce energy
- Chamunda (warrior goddess) appropriate for Moon-Mars-Sarpa combination
- Chamundeshwari Stotra or Navarna Mantra daily
3. Naga Abhishekam:
- Moon in Ashlesha (Sarpa lord); Mercury in Sarpa Trikona; Moon in Scorpio in D30 (Sarpa-type sign)
- Get a small silver or copper snake idol (Nagabeyota)
- Pour milk on it daily every morning
- Chant "Om Nageshwaram" while pouring milk
- OR chant Sarpa Suktam / Ashtashana Mantra (from Navagraha Stotra) while doing abhishekam
D20 Prashna for deity confirmation:
- In prashna chart D20: 9th lord = Moon, exalted in 7th house, aspecting Lagna
- "9th lord Moon exalted and aspecting lagna in D20 of Prashna → Moon/Gauri/Parvati worship will help"
- Same conclusion from natal + prashna → Chamunda or Gauri/Parvati
PVNR general principle:
— PVNR"When using Prashna for remedies, look at the D20 of the Prashna chart. The 5th lord shows the upasana that can help; the 9th lord shows how God's grace can come for this specific issue. Use D20 Prashna to find the remedy deity."
D20 — Family Deity via D20
Rule: "Family deity is seen from the 2nd house of D20 — the occupants and lord of the 2nd house show the deity worshipped in the family."
For this chart (Cancer Vimshamsa lagna, with rectification):
- 2nd house: Venus + Moon (if Cancer D20 lagna) → female deity, divine mother form; lord = Sun → Shiva
- Rahu in Aquarius aspects 2nd house → "Rahu in Kumbha (Aquarius, hills sign) + aspecting = Venkateshwara connection"
- "Rahu shows Varahamihira and Venkateshwara is associated with Varahamihira; Saturn aspect (3/4) also present"
- Family deity confirmed = Lord Venkateshwara ✓ (family independently stated this)
