Remedy plans
Some remedies work best as a sequence: a few weeks of one practice, then the next, in an order set by the planets of your Dasha and transits. A remedy plan lays this out as a calendar, so you know what to do each week and why.
When more than one planet needs care, tradition advises starting with the one whose period is running, then moving to the others. A Saturn Mahadasha with a Rahu Antardasha, for example, would begin with Rahu practices for the sub-period and keep a lighter Saturn practice alongside.
The plan reads your current Dasha and Antardasha, any Sade Sati or Ashtama Shani, Mangal Dosha if relevant, and planets weak in your chart. It orders the practices by urgency and fits each to its weekday.
Week one to six: Saturday sesame oil lamp and the Shani mantra 108 times. Week three onward: Tuesday prayer to Murugan for Mars. Each full Moon: Satyanarayana Puja for the family. The calendar marks each day.
Where a temple visit is suggested, such as Thirunallar for Saturn or Thirunageswaram for Rahu, the plan names the best day, often the planet's weekday or a special Tithi.
Dana is included where it fits: sesame and black cloth on Saturdays, food for the needy, or support for a temple or school.
When a new Antardasha begins, the plan updates and tells you which practices to continue and which to change.
A plan is meant to bring order, not pressure. If a practice is too much, keep the simplest part and continue steadily.
Take a person in a Saturn Mahadasha and Rahu Antardasha, with Saturn now in the twelfth sign from the Moon, the rising phase of Sade Sati. The plan would open with eight weeks of Rahu practice: Durga prayer and a lamp during Rahu Kalam on Saturdays, with charity of blue cloth. Alongside it, a light Saturn practice of the Hanuman Chalisa every Saturday. In week four, a visit to Thirunageswaram on a Saturday is suggested. At the full Moon each month, a family Satyanarayana Puja closes the cycle.
Each day you mark a practice as done. The plan shows how many days you have kept, and on completion it offers a short closing prayer and charity.
