How to Overcome Bad Luck and Bad Time?
We often talk about ‘prarabdha’, ‘bhavitavya’ or ‘niyati’ that leads to bad outcomes in our lives. Often, it happens suddenly and we are stuck thinking about how to move forward or get rid of it. But we fail and we struggle. The reasons can be many, from negative planetary alignments to evil eyes, graha dosha, graha dasha, a curse or bad karma. Often, it is due to Vastu dosha or the presence of certain things in your life about which you are unaware. A common person does not know the critical part of this and simply says it is niyati or bad luck.
What are the Symptoms of Bad Luck?
- You constantly suffer in some way or another.
- Even after doing all the hard work, you fail to perform in the exam.
- Your health is affected, even though otherwise you are healthy
- You feel lazy and lethargic.
- You struggle in your career.
- You struggle financially
- You struggle in your education
- You struggle in your family life
- Your kids suffer
- And this list could be endless
What is the first thing people do when they struggle? They visit a counsellor, a doctor, a financial advisor or many even talk to their gurus and offer puja at mandirs. Though seeking the blessings of the deity is helpful, if you do it sincerely and many times, the struggle just does not end.
So what measures can be taken so that it will leave you soon and then you will be able to succeed in every work because bad luck also comes due to our planetary constellation or we do some such work due to which it keeps coming behind us? That’s why we should leave all of them and take some measures that will make it go away.

Astrological Remedies For Bad Luck
If you are suffering due to bad luck and want to get rid of it, then you should take some precautionary or remedial measures. These remedies will not only eliminate all the misfortunes from your life but also make everything fine for you. Here are some remedies that you can follow:
1. Recite Gayatri Mantra Daily
The Gayantri Mantra is a very powerful mantra that can help you get rid of all your problems. But make sure you do not use it in the wrong things or else it may have adverse effects. So, if you are troubled due to bad luck, regular chanting of the Gayatri Mantra can help you get rid of your bad luck. However, it is advised that you follow this under the guidance of a guru, who will guide you through the method, ways and pronunciation of the Gayatri mantra.
2. Rudraksha Beads
Rudraksha beads are considered to be the form of Bhagwan Shiva. So, wearing Rudraksha beads can help you get rid of your bad luck. However, consult an astrologer before you wear it because there are Rudrakshas with different mukhis (numbers of faces). Find out from your astrologer which one to wear to get rid of bad luck.
3. Recite Hanuman Chalisa
Reciting Hanuman Chalisa is another very proven remedy that helps in getting rid of bad luck, evil forces and negative energy. Visit a Hanuman mandir on Tuesday and Saturday and recite Hanuman Chalisa there. If you are unable to visit the mandir, then you can recite Hanuman Chalisa while sitting at home, too.
4. Offer Argha to Surya Dev
Wake up early in the morning, take a bath and offer Argha to Surya Dev every morning to get rid of bad luck. Argha means offering water to the Sun. If you do this regularly, then you will see the changes happening. Also, talk to a pundit to find out the right ritual or way of offering argha to Surya Bhagwan.
5. View your own Palms
Viewing your own palm early in the morning is another remedy to remove your bad luck. When you wake up in the morning, before you look anywhere else, look directly at your own hand palms, pray to God and seek blessings. Do this regularly and you will see the difference in your life. It is believed that Maa Lakshmi, Maa Saraswati and Shri Hari Vishnu reside in our palms and eliminate all obstacles from our lives.
Mantra to be chanted when you view your palm – “कराग्रे वसते लक्ष्मीः करमध्ये सरस्वती । करमूले तु गोविन्दः प्रभाते करदर्शनम ॥”
“Karagre vaste Lakshmi, Karmadhye Sarawati. Karmule tu govinda, Prabhate kar darshanam.”
Chanting this mantra first thing in the morning is believed to bring prosperity, knowledge and creativity. It also aligns one’s mind with auspicious energies.
6. Light a diya near Tulsi
Lighting a diya daily near Tulsi every morning after a bath and in the evening can help you remove all the negative energies from your surroundings. The tulsi plant is considered one of the most sacred plants by Sanatan Hindus. It is believed that Shri Hari Vishnu resides near Tulsi all the time.

Placing a horseshoe at the main entrance of the house is a common practice in some houses in India. It is believed to bring fortune and good luck to the residents of the house.

Wear Gemstones after consulting an astrologer
Gemstones have their own benefits, according to Vedic astrology. Every planet is associated with some gemstone and hence, astrologers recommend gemstones as per the individual’s birth chart requirements. Gemstones are believed to nullify the bad effects of unfavourable planetary conditions and amplify the good effects of favourable planetary conditions. However, you are advised not to wear any gemstones just by reading somewhere; rather, consult an experienced astrologer who will recommend you gemstones based on your horoscope, ruling planet, and the position of the planets in your birth chart.

Burning Camphor helps Eliminate Negative Energies
Camphor or kapur is another very popular ingredient used in Hindu pujas and rituals. It also has many therapeutic properties and is known for its cleansing and healing qualities. The fragrance of camphor creates a positive and refreshing atmosphere. When it is lit during puja, along with hymns, chants, and prayers, the fragrance enhances the overall ambiance of the house and eliminates any negative energy around.

Placing a Mirror at the Entrance
Mirrors are often used in many households or by many individuals to ward off bad luck or misfortune. It is believed the reflecting mirror is very strong to reflect the evil eye straight back to the place from where it originated. Therefore, we observe that many people place a mirror at the entrance of the house to get rid of evil forces. We also see people adding mirrors to decorate their interiors, jewellery, and many other accessories, like bags, wallets, etc. According to the Vastu Shastra, it is also believed that hanging mirrors on the north or east side of the walls of your house can deflect the negative energies coming from the south or west of the house.

Hang Lemon and Green Chillies
You may have often seen that shops and many household and commercial vehicles hang lemon and green chillies in the front. People hang it at the entrances of houses, shops, offices, and establishments to ward off negative energy or evil eyes. After use, you must discard this lemon either by burning it on coal or by immersing it in flowing water.

Burning Red chillies
In Indian kitchens, red chillies are a very common ingredient used in Indian cooking. This red chilli remedy is followed in most Indian households to ward off evil eyes. All you have to do is put an odd number of red chillies and salt in your fist. Close the fist and glide it over the person who is experiencing misfortune, starting from the bottom and moving upwards, followed by circular movements. Then burn this mixture by throwing it into burning coal. After burning, if the mixture does not exude spice in the air, it is believed the evil forces have been eliminated.
Every individual born into this world has to go through some ups and downs in life. It is believed that our struggles in our lives are based on karma from our past lives. So, our previous birth deeds and actions determine how our present life will be. This is why some people struggle less, some struggle more and some have to struggle throughout their lives. However, Vedic astrology and Vastu Shastra provide us with many remedies that we can follow to nullify the effect of our bad karma by appeasing our deities or practicing certain remedial measures.
