How can I begin?
Do not choose a graha remedy simply from a zodiac sign. Reading the meaning is different from undertaking a prescribed remedial practice. Ask a qualified practitioner about tradition, purpose and limits before a formal regimen.
Choose a clean, comfortable place. Read the meaning and learn the words slowly. For general remembrance, there is no count, mala or fixed time imposed here. Learn formal vows within your own tradition.
