Can remedies change one's destiny?

How do remedies affect our life?

It is like a doctor, who is approached by a patient to cure the disease. The doctor diagnoses the problem and recommends some medicine to cure. If the disease is incurable, the patient is left on the mercy of God. In the same manner, if one has the fear of death or there are yogas of accident in kundli, by performing Yagya and chanting of Maha Mrityunjaya mantra, this unexpected death or accident could be overcome. Baglamukhi Yagya, helps one to get relief of enemies and win the court cases. If appropriate remedial measures are undertaken in due time the said evil effects will be nullified and the person will be relieved of all sufferings. Astrological remedies and medicine both are ineffective in case, if in the kundli there is promise of short life and defeat by enemies. In this condition, only God can save the person, as Savitri saved her husband Satyavan from the jaws of death.

For Mars, worship Goddess Baglamukhi, Lord Hanuman or lord Kartikeya etc. To cast of the malefic effects of Rahu, worship Goddess Chinnmasta, Durga or Saraswati. For jupiter, Goddess Tara Devi is worshipped. For Mercury, Tripur Bhairavi or lord Vishnu should be worshipped. For Ketu - Goddess Dhoomavati. For Venus Goddess Kamala Devi or Maha Laxmi should be worshipped.

These deities should be worshipped by chanting mantras, stotra and Japam. According to Maharishi Parashar each planet has its own deity, and by chanting mantras and stotras of the respective deity one can come over various problems in life. Remedies are selected on the nature of rashi. For example
