Angaarakam Aashrayaamyaham -- Surutti Raagam-- Roopaka Thaalam

The planet Mars or Angaaraka is like a warrior of God .When we the children of God are to be corrected for our mistakes in life Mars comes into play in the form of troubles from wife, children ,brothers , friends etc. Loss of wealth , quarrels , in short any form of disharmony which could be mitigated or warded off by praying to Angaaraka,  who  is situate at Vaideeswaran koil  which is located at  6 kms. from Sirkazi en route to Mayavaram. That is how Mars is considered one of the malefic planets . Of course a person with well posited Mars in his horoscope stands for valor,might and for fast action to establish justice .Famous doctors ,surgeons ,engineers, architects etc. have well posited Mars in their horoscope. Whereever courage is required to face opposition or for bold action Mars is to be propitiated .In case of a surgery or surgeon to fight diseases Mars comes to the forefront . .Dikshithar describes beautifully the grace of Angaaraka in the following krithi .Angaaraka rules over  Mesha  and Vrishchika Raasi

Budhamaashrayaami sathatham--Nattaikurinji--Jampa Thalam

Muthuswamy Dikshithar has rendered the krithi on Budha beautifully in the raagam Nattaikurinji .The raagamudra is not found in the krithi , however the raaglakshana is rendered in a captivating way in the song .It shows how best Dikshithar was blessed by Budha in composing the lyrics as well as the music for the song .

Budha confers the proficiency in speech ,music , maths creativity etc by occupying the benefic place in one's horoscope.The power of discrimination to accept  and reject according to one's knowledge , to rise above even strong emotions is the play of Budha on our mind .In general a strong budha confers intellectual brilliance .

Since this is a fast moving planet people under its sway tend to do things at a fast pace thereby overworking the adrenaline factor .Invariably such people in course of time fall a prey to acidity , ulcer in stomach etc.and some times a trip to thiruvenkaadu to propitiate the Budha Bhagavaan is undertaken .
