Prayer For Court Financial Problems
A Reader had sent an email asking me for mantras for relief from a Court Case and relief from financial harassment, ruination . If the facts of the case presented are true, then the following Mantra will certainly alleviate the problem. The sloka I am reproducing below is a very rare one as it is by Sri Rudra on Lord Narasimha. I am not aware of any other Deity being praised by Rudra,( not Siva) This Mantra is called as the King of Mantra , Mantra Rajapatham. Begin reciting the mantra on any waxing day of the Moon’ preferably on the fourth day,Chaturthi , in the morning. If you know Ganpathy Mantras recite a few of them, at least one. Then recite the following mantra, Eleven Times a day for 45 days. As Naivedyam, offer freshly cooked Curd rice.

Insurance Malpractices LIC Withdraws 34 Policies
What happens next is that you are sold a Policy on which the Agent gets a hefty commission. Though the commissions are said to be uniform some policies do attract a better commission than the others because of the high risks to the insured and better returns to the insurer. Many simply sign on the dotted lines, asking the agent to fill in the necessary details, and hand him over the originals even for photocopying. As it is there is fine print, where your risks are mentioned in such a corner and in such a font type you can not read it, even if you read you can hardly understand it, such is the jargon. The Agent if asked to explain will normally say it is just for the records and you will get your returns or use further confusing arguments. So much so the complaints against Insurance mal practices, forgery have increased, as disclosed by IRDA.
