Do the astrological remedial actions relieve our present suffering?

[Following are the questions asked by devotees to Swami in the satsaga held on October 17, 2020]

Do the astrological remedial actions relieve our present suffering? (5 of 10)

[Śrī Nava Chaitanya asked: Swami, astrology suggests some types of remedial actions called parihāras to relieve us from our current suffering. Is it true that we can actually get relief due to these actions?]

Swami replied: It is perfectly true. You can worship the deities of the planets like Sūrya, Candra, Kuja etc. The deities of these deities can also be worshipped. The deities of the planets are the executive powers of God, which deliver the fruits of the deeds of souls in this world. Apart from these forms of worship, you also have to give food to beggars and the food should be specific to the planet. To get relief from the suffering delivered to you by a specific planet-god, food prepared from the following specific grains should be offered to beggars: wheat for the Sun-god, rice for the Moon-god, red gram for Mars, green gram for Mercury, Indian chick pea for Jupiter, black eyed pea for Venus, sesame seeds for Saturn, black gram for Rāhu and horse gram for Ketu.
