Praying for peace is generally left with priests and preachers of religions. Many busy men and women never bothered to say prayers for peace. Not anymore. This decade has brought such calamities to you me and to the other guy. Right now we are all concerned with peace as the guiding mantra for prosperity in the year 2009. The litmus test is whether peace would prevail or not. A signal from the heaven indicates that peace would prevail only if humanity joins in prayer for peace.
I observed an interesting phenomenon. Looking at the evening sky from the city of Bethlehem towards the eastern direction on Friday December 12, a full moon day. The white and brilliant Moon is on the line of sight with the star Elnath towards the north-westerly direction. Both are pretty close in terms of degree, just about one and half. Both are brilliant white. To cap it all both are showering bright light down on the earth. Let me explain about the star, its cosmics and the way you and me can pray for peace and prosperity in the year 2009.
1. Elnath, the star of mystery
Elnath has been steeped in mystery. Though mentioned from the Babylonian times, the position of the star as regards to astronomy has not been clear. Early Greek writers including Ptolemy and Aratus considered the star as part of the Taurus (Bull) constellation. Thereafter, Arab astronomers included it in the Auriga (Charioteer or Rein-holder) constellation, and referred it as “ Al- Kab – Dhil Inan meaning “ the heel of the rein-holder”. Al-Kazwini, the 13th century Persian astronomer called it as “ Al- Tawabi - Al – Ayyuk” meaning “ the two in the ankles” because the star Elnath is a double star located on the ankle of the charioteer. In 17th century, Bayer, the German astronomer agreed and gave the name Gamma Aurigae.
But the star’s position in the borderline between Taurus and Auriga gave rise to debate once again. Later Arab astronomers described the star as “ Al--Karn Al--Thaur Al - Shamaliyyah” meaning “ northern horn of the bull”. In fact the name of the star is derived from Arabic Al Nath meaning “Butting with the horn”. Modern astronomers tend to agree with this stance and have included Elnath within Taurus constellation.
A double star, one brilliant white and the companion pale grey, Elnath is of 1.7 magnitude, 25th brightest star in the known sky and a Class B 7 giant. It is about 4.5 times size of solar and about 700 times luminous than our Sun. This star has abundance of manganese compared with the rest of stars. You can trace the star at Right Ascension 5.40 hours and Declination of 28.60 North.
2. Cosmics
Like in the case of astronomy, Elnath remains as mystery in terms of cosmics as well. Its occult significance has never been explained. Though many modern writers tend to describe the star as a violent one related to blood and warfare, mainly due to its description as the butt of horn of Taurus, tradition treats the star with divinity. Hindus considered Elnath as their deity for fire called “ Agni”. Interestingly, the god Agni was often depicted to have 3 legs, a rare feature in Hindu mythology but with high cosmic relevance. Incidentally, fire is considered to be the first of five elements, the others being Ether, Air, Water and Earth. You are aware that your five fingers represent these five elements. When you curl your fist with a thumb –down manner you would see the fire element going down. You would notice that, adrenalin that runs in your system gets duller making you becalm your anger. Pictorially Auriga constellation is shown as the Charioteer flying away to the heaven, to peace and prosperity, after controlling all the five elements with a special emphasis on fire by trampling it under his right foot. So much for the cosmics.

This would grant you inner peace and peace in the globe; shower you prosperity and prosperity for the world. Do the incantations 131 times daily for 131 day beginning from the date given below.
