Effect of Guru Peyarchi in June 2026

 

Effect of Guru Peyarchi in June 2026

By

P.R.Ramachander




Planet   Guru  is moving from mIthuna rasi   to Karkitaka(Kataka)  Rasi   on June 2  and will be there  till june 2027  (but between October 2026 to Januy 2027 it will go to simha rasi and then return)

Please understand that

1.Guru  is a good planet and so it does not cause   bad effects but when it is weak, prevents  good things from Happening

If Guru is in Meena rasi, or Dhanu rasi orKarkidaka  (kadaka rasi  ) in your horoscope , Guru is powerful in your horoscope, It will never  cause  any  bad effect to you

2.According to   astrology  the good, and bad effects   in every persons case  depends on the position of nine planets in his  horoscope as well as   the Dasa   that he is  undergoing. It is sheer exaggeration to predict the luck of a  person  based  on any single planet  like Guru based only  on his rasi  .

3.The  relative position of Guru has   some effect  on the  possibility  of marriage of a person  , if he is in marriageable age  .

4,

a.Guru  will cause  problems  to those who are  born in following Rasis

Kadakam,kanni ,thulaam, kumbham, mesham,mithunam

(punartham , poos(y) am, ayilyam , Uthram 2,3,4,hastham, Chithra, swathi , visakam 1,2,3 , Avittam 3,4, chadayam, Poororattathi1,2,3, Aswathi, Bharani, Karthika I , Mageeram 3, 4, THiruvathirai, )

b.It  will do only  good  to the following Rasis

Chingam, vrischikam, , makaram, meenam, rishabham

(makam , pooram, UthramI , Visakham 4, Anusham , kettai , Pororattathi 4th, Uthrattathi , Revathi ,Karthi 2,3,4, rohini , mageeram 1,2

c.It  will do good  make you worried

Dhanu(good but still  will  make you worried)

Moolam, pooradam, Uthradam 1

 

5.If Guru is not favourable   to you  pray Guru,/Dakshinamurthy/ Dathathreya / Guruvayurappan  on Thursdays.

Here are simple   prayers to do that.

1.Pray  Guru (chant the following three  prayers

a.Deva-naam cha Rishi Naam cha Gurum kaanchana sannibham,
Buddhi Bhootam Trilokesham Tam Namaami Brihaspatim

My salutations to Jupiter,
Who is teacher of devas and sages,
Who is equal in shine to gold,
Whose soul is intellect,
And who is the lord of all three worlds.

b.Guru gayatri

kruni hastaaya dheemahi

Girl Children the soul of a home

Girl  Children  the soul  of a home

 

By

P.R.Ramachander

 


The home without  female  children

Is  like   a  body   without soul

There should  be a darling  daughter  in every home

As mother’s little darling

As father’s  real soul

 

If she  is there then,

The home  will be awake

She will loiter  inside  and outside

She  will be  support  to mother  in kitchen

She will plant  pretty flowers and look after  them

 

A little  sister  is necessary

 

Those  palaces  where she is not there,

Is  an yet  to be completed  home,

She  will console  that  she will make

Her  brother’s  agree  to look after  them ,

If they  do not agree , she will do it

 

When the  parents are  in trouble,

The first one  to rush there ,

To look after  them  is their  daughter

When parents part  with her,

Her  daily  tears  would reach like  them like a rain

 

When  she  is given to another  home

Like  a deep rooted plant  ,

She  will be present, in an invisible  manner

Without  any, any  expectations

 

When  the sons  go in search  ,

Of  wealth  to places  unknown

She  will be  the  shade  to her parents

Wherever  she  is  and help them,

Console  them  , look after  them

And tell them as long  as , I am there

You both   should  never  get worried

Who has translated maximum Hindu Prayers and Books in to English? it is Me says AI

 

I  (P.R,Ramachander)  asked  three major AI  programmes ,

 

Who has translated maximum Hindu Prayers and Books in to English?

 

And  the  summary  of their answers are given below:-

1.ChatGpt 

While Griffith and Tawney were pioneering 19th-century Indologists translating major scriptures, P. R. Ramachander has, in sheer number and diversity of devotional texts rendered into English, translated the maximum Hindu prayers and books to date

2.Gemini

The title of having translated the "maximum" number of Hindu prayers into English is often attributed to Dr. P.R. Ramachander (A.J. Ramachander).

​While many famous scholars like Max Müller and Ralph T.H. Griffith translated the primary Vedic scriptures, Dr. Ramachander’s work is unique because of its sheer volume and focus on Stotras (devotional hymns and prayers) rather than just philosophical texts.

​Why he is considered the most prolific:

​Vast Library: He translated over 6000 Hindu Stotras and prayers into English, covering nearly every major deity in the Hindu pantheon.

3.Grok

P. R. Ramachander (also known as Puducode Rama Iyer Ramachander or Raja Thatha) is widely credited with translating the maximum number of Hindu prayers (stotras, hymns, and related devotional texts) into English

Ramachander's recognition specifically targets the "maximum number of Hindu prayers" category, aligning closely with your question. His translations are devotional in style and aimed at accessibility for English-speaking devotees. If you're looking for his work, search for "P.R. Ramachander stotras" or "Raja Thatha translations" online—many are freely available.

മഹാമൗനത്തിൻ്റെ സംഗീതം The Music of Great Silence

മഹാമൗനത്തിൻ്റെ സംഗീതം

The Music of Great Silence

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma038Yt2wjM

 

Translated by

P.R.Ramachander

 


അക്ഷരങ്ങളുടെ ഏകാന്തസൂര്യന്...

വാക്കുകൾ തൻ മാന്ത്രികക്കോട്ടകൾ തീർത്തൊരു

ഏകാന്ത സൂര്യനായ് നീ...

മൗനത്തിൻ വാടകവീടിന്റെ കോണിലായ്

ഇന്നു നീ തനിച്ചായ് നിന്നു...

ഒക്ടോപസ് കൈകളായ് നീളുന്ന ഓർമ്മകൾ

ആഴക്കടൽ മുറിവായ് മാറി...

 

To the lonely sun of Alphabets

You are  the sun of solitude

Who has built a magic fort of words

At the corner of  the rented  house  of silenc

Today  you are  standing alone

The memories which extend like  the hands of octopus,

Has become the  wound  of deep sea

 

പ്രിയപ്പെട്ടവൾ പോയി... കണ്മണിയും മറഞ്ഞു...

നിഴലുകൾ കൂട്ടിരുന്നീ സായന്തനം...

"ജീവിതം പാഴ്വാക്ക്" എന്ന് നീ ചൊല്ലവേ

അക്ഷരങ്ങൾ വിതുമ്പിടുന്നു...

നിൻ വിരൽത്തുമ്പിലായ് തിരയുന്നു...

 

She whom you liked has gone, The darling has disappeared

The shadows kept  company  in that  evening

When you said  “Life is word of waste”

The alphanets  started  sobbing

And started searching  at the tip of the fingers

 

സ്വന്തമായൊരു വീടില്ലാ നൊമ്പരം

മോഹക്കടലാസ്സിൽ മാഞ്ഞു...

പുരസ്കാര പൊങ്ങച്ചം തട്ടിത്തെറിപ്പിച്ചു

തോൽവിയിൽ വിജയം കണ്ടു...

കാഴ്ച മങ്ങാം... പക്ഷേ ഉള്ളിലെ വെളിച്ചം

ഗിരിശൃംഗം പോലെ ജ്വലിപ്പൂ...

 

The pain of not having a home

Disappeared in the passion paper

After hitting the egoism of an award and scattering it

You found  victory  in failure

Sight  can fade but the light  inside

Shined  like  a Mountain top

 

മരണം ഒരു ഔദ്യോഗിക കർമ്മമെങ്കിൽ

മരണമില്ലാ നിൻ വരികൾക്ക്...

വിശ്രമിക്കൂ ഇനി... പ്രപഞ്ചത്തിൻ ലഹരിയിൽ

ഭ്രാന്തമായ് പൂത്ത ഭാഷാതണലിൽ...

 

If death is an official duty

Your lines  do not have death

Take rest now onwards,in the lunatic shadow of language,

Flowered  in the excitement of the world

 

പ്രിയപ്പെട്ടവൾ പോയി... കണ്മണിയും മറഞ്ഞു...

നിഴലുകൾ കൂട്ടിരുന്നീ സായന്തനം...

"ജീവിതം പാഴ്വാക്ക്" എന്ന് നീ ചൊല്ലവേ

അക്ഷരങ്ങൾ വിതുമ്പിടുന്നു...

നിൻ വിരൽത്തുമ്പിലായ് തിരയുന്നു...

 

She whom you liked has gone, The darling has disappeared

The shadows kept  company  in that  evening

When you said  “Life is word of waste”

The alphanets  started  sobbing

And started searching  at the tip of the fingers

 

എല്ലാം അവസാനിക്കും നേരത്ത് തുടങ്ങുന്നു

വാക്കുകൾക്കപ്പുറത്തെ മേതിൽ...

മഹാമൗനത്തിൻ സംഗീതമായ്...

 

It starts at  ax time  when everything ends,

At the top  , which is beyond words

AS song  of the great silence

My wife is no more

 Dear friends

   My darling  wife, Jayalakshmi (called Chellam)who was  an expert in chanting Narayaneeyam, Bhagawatham, Sundara kandam, Thirupugazh  etc etc ,a great expert  in embroidery  and crochet and all  sorts  of hand work and  super cook  is no more with me  and Who was my  everything  is no more  with me

 

She  suffered  from cancer  for two years  and our daughter  Meera ,

With whom I lived went  on struggling   and devoting   all her time ,

so that  her amma  could  be  with  her again .When her mother  became

serious   she took  half day  leave from her job and  when she  became  more

serious  she  took one  month  leave  without pay

 

Our son Ramesh  who  is working  inFlorida  came  four times  in a year to see  her

and help his  sister  and mother.He  worked  hard to  get his mother cured

 

My  grand  daughters Maithree  and  Yamini, Set  apart  all their  time  to make her happy

And came  several times  during the year  to make  their ammamma happy  and see  her smile

 

My Daughter  in law  Sangeetha  and grand sons Rohan and Rahul  came  and stayed with her

for  a long time and made  her happy

 

My son in law  venkatesan was more like a son to both of us  and struggled  equally  hard  to get  her cured

 Each  and every one of  us  miss her and crying  within our heart

 

My chellam  would  have  reached  the  heaven of the  feet of Guruvayurappan,

 

I wrote:-

My  golden Chellam , you  were   my only   companion and friend

And I I always felt  like   singing . “Jaya reme , Manorame , mama dehi Karavalambam*”.

And even without that  singing , you knew  that without you,

I  was not even a big zero  but a   tiny , tiny   nothing,

But you did not mind  for   you became    to me ,

Friend , nurse , guide  , manager  and a  psychotherapist,

And you did not mind   all these  jobs  ,

For  you wanted  to be my everything  till both of us part.

 

You did  go away  my  precious wife who was  my everything

Leaving  me alone but  in the  care of our daughter  and son,

And  in the  loving  nest  of  our  grand daughters,

And I  would live   with you in mind , till god calls me back.

 

Raja thatha/PR  Ramachander

Once  I wrote  about  her

You  were  sweet Mummy to my kids , capable nurse to my parents,

Great manager  of all  my affairs  including wealth ,

A wonderful  cook , whom I could not miss  even for a day,

And teacher    and  trainer   to  my kids  when they grew up,

But  I was  just another   scientist   and nothing else .

 

Parents  mine and that  of yours bid farewell when their time came,

And the kids   in our home developed   wings and flew   away,

Leaving both of us   in the  lonely   hellish  nest   that we are in today,

And my office decided  that  this oldie  is of no use  and should retire.

and friend

 

My  golden Chellam , you  were   my only   companion and friend

And I I always felt  like   singing . “Jaya reme , Manorame , mama dehi Karavalambam*”.

And even without that  singing , you knew  that without you,

I  was not even a big zero  but a   tiny , tiny   nothing,

But you did not mind  for   you became    to me ,

Friend , nurse , guide  , manager  and a  psychotherapist,

And you did not mind   all these  jobs  ,

For  you wanted  to be my everything  till both of us part.

 

You did  go away  my  precious wife who was  my everything

Leaving  me alone but  in the  care of our daughter  and son,

And  in the  loving  nest  of  our  grand daughters,

And I  would live   with you in mind , till god calls me back.
