With some sadhana or practice, it is possible to gain some level of confidence in ascertaining the swara and correlating it to the zodiacal sign or planet as the situation demands. After completing all astrological work, then only one may verify one's answer through swara. Indiscriminate use of this technique is to be avoided. I will not write more on this, since it is not good for a beginner. The mature student doesn't need more, because the clue I have given here is enough for him to grasp the point. But remember, you should have studied the phenomenon of synchronicity in AWARENESS, in order to derive the full benefit of this kind of technique. Moreover through such an understanding you will know when to use this knowledge.

Queries related to pregnanacy :

In case of any questions related to pregnancy the astrologer's lunar swara active, indicates a girl and if his solar swara is active, then a male child. Here one has to check the flow carefully as Sushumna indicates abortion, miscarriage etc. One can cross check the result with other short methods by using the concept of elements. As previously stated the duration of flow of swara can be divided into five parts and each part is given an element. Depending on the time of the Prasna, under which element it falls (i.e., during its ruling time in a given nadi), the prediction is given.

Earth- girl

Water-boy Air- girl Fire-miscarriage Ether- eunuch.

If both swaras alternate -twins (i.e., if the swara changes at the time of the query).

This part is not easy and hence, it is recommended that you should not attempt to learn from a book.

Note: The durations of the flow may vary from person to person, as it requires a natural state of health. So while using this one has to make sure of one's state of health.

If one wants a male child or a female child:

For a male child: It is advisable to have sex on fertile days falling on even tithis. Female's flow should be Ida and male's Pingala. For best result make sure that the earthy tatwa is predominant.

For a Female child: Couples wishing for a female child should reverse the above method.

Given below is a table showing the activities to be taken up during the flow of particular swaras.

Note: It might seem ludicrous that the above list includes certain routine things like eating and defecating, things that one cannot or need not check the swara for. But if the body-mind is in a natural state, such things happen when the appropriate swara is dominant. Perhaps one need not even try to change the swara, for it will happen naturally. I have included these in the list for two reasons. Firstly to give the reader a taste of the

original concept as one would find it in the ancient texts. Secondly, because it might interest a few academically.

Swarodaya Sastra also gives many more details of the 5 elements (Panchabhutas) and based on the swara, a detailed art of prediction of diseases, sex of the child, divination and answering almost any question. Swara sastra also gives various breathing techniques and meditations for each element (Panchabhutas) as related to the Chakras and a wealth of much more varied and interesting information. Thus the nostrils are switches . By controlling the speed, rate, rhythm, length and duration of the breath, by altering the ratio of inhalation to exhalation, by stopping breath, we can activate or tone down neurological and mental processes so as to achieve heightened awareness, altered states of Consciousness and even the ultimate goal of liberation itself. Verily SWARA is lord MAHE 'SWARA' himself!

"O lady of beautiful face! All Sastras, Puranas, Smritis and the Vedangas are nothing beyond the knowledge of Swaras".

"The part and whole of the Universe are made up of Swaras. The Creator and Destroyer of the Universe is really the Swara in the form of Mahe'swara' ".
