A Brief Version of the 'Chinese' Practice of Averting Periodic Obstacles

Generally as per Bhutanese astrology our welfare for the year will be either good or bad depending on the ruling animal sign of the year. For example this year the animal sign is Female Pig and as such all female animal signs viz Ox, Rabbit, Snake, Sheep and Bird are in bad phase. Further, there are like, Dunzur, Thunsum, Gumin, Loka, Lonag, Namgo, Sago calculated based on current element and year. 

To pacify such bad phase once has to recite many sutras and one effective sutra is Jana Kado, which is full of mantras, and need an experienced reciter.

But good news is if you recite daily the following brief version of Jana Kado, all astrological effects will be pacified.
