My Canada visa was refused once and I am applying again. A pandit says I need a ₹21,000 videsh yog puja. Is there anything simple I can do myself while I wait?
I understand wanting to do everything you can. Please share your birth details and I will read your current period. Simple practices like a daily mantra or a vow are free, and no puja can change a visa decision. Please get a second opinion before paying for any ritual.
Short answer
Traditional remedies for settling abroad are mostly free: japa, prayer, a vow at a temple or gurdwara, and charity. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra prescribes japa and gifts in Rahu's sub-periods, for health, never for travel. No remedy decides a visa, so anything sold as a visa puja is a red flag. On Kismo, verified Vedic astrologers suggest simple practices by chat or call, online from anywhere.
What are the key facts about remedies for going abroad?
| Answer | |
|---|---|
| What remedies are | Prayer, mantra japa, vows, charity and temple or gurdwara visits that people do while they wait |

| Popular traditions | 11 rounds at Chilkur Balaji near Hyderabad, toy planes at the Talhan gurdwara near Jalandhar 23 |
| What no remedy can do | Approve a visa, PR or a job; those follow the destination country's rules |

| Session on Kismo | From ₹15 a minute, first session with 5 free minutes, online from anywhere in India and abroad |
What changes which remedy an astrologer suggests for going abroad?
- The planet behind the reading. A remedy tied to Rahu's period differs from one tied to a weak 12th lord or a strained 4th house, so the astrologer names the planet first.
- What you want help with. Calm and patience during a long wait call for different practices than a family worry about you leaving home.
- Your own faith and habits. A Vishnu or Durga mantra, a gurdwara visit or a simple act of charity can all fit, and a careful astrologer works with what you already practise.
- Cost. Free practices come first; anything that costs money is worth a second opinion before you pay.
What do Indians hoping to go abroad do for luck, and what does it cost?
Indians hoping to go abroad often make a vow at a 'visa temple' or gurdwara, and the best-known ones charge nothing. At Chilkur Balaji near Hyderabad, devotees walk 11 rounds of the inner shrine while making a vow, and 108 rounds once the wish comes true 2.
Chilkur takes no money for darshan or puja and has no donation box; its only income in 2015 was parking at ₹10 a vehicle 2. A trust official told The News Minute that most devotees were 25 to 35 years old 2.
In Punjab the offering is a toy aeroplane. At Gurdwara Shaheedan in Talhan, near Jalandhar, the manager told Scroll in 2023 that the gurdwara received about 5,000 toy planes a week, and that it had never promoted the practice 3. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee prohibited the practice after a toy plane was offered at the Golden Temple 3.
The Tribune describes the same shrine as the 'Visa Vaala' gurdwara, where kiosks outside sell aeroplane toys and devotees offer planes instead of parshad 4. A Kismo astrologer can suggest practices like these that cost little, but cannot promise any result; the visa stays with the embassy and its official rules.
How do I tell a genuine remedy from a visa scam?
A genuine remedy is simple, explained, and never tied to a promised visa. Run any paid offer through these checks before you pay.
- Ask which planet and which text the remedy is for. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra gives japa and gifts for health in Rahu's sub-periods, not for a visa 1.
- Try the free version first: a daily mantra, a vow, a visit, a small act of charity.
- Walk away from any promise of approval, any fixed date for a visa, or a stone you must buy today.
- Never pay outside the platform you booked on, and never hand over your passport or documents.
- If you were cheated online, report it on 1930, the 24-hour cybercrime helpline, or on cybercrime.gov.in 5.
- Get a second opinion before paying for any ritual.
What do people get wrong about this?
Belief: A visa puja done by a pandit can get my visa approved.
The classical remedy verses for Rahu's sub-periods name japa and gifts for health, and none mentions travel or a foreign journey 1.
Belief: The visa temples charge a lot because the remedy is special.
Chilkur Balaji, the best-known visa temple, takes no money for darshan or puja and has no donation box 2.
Before you pay anyone
How do you know an astrologer is genuine?
- Every Kismo astrologer passes four steps: qualification review, panel interview, live audits of real sessions, 30-day probation.

- Never pay for an expensive puja or ritual under pressure. Get a second opinion first.

Questions people ask
What are the astrological remedies to go abroad?
Astrological remedies to go abroad are mostly prayer and discipline: mantra japa, a vow at a temple or gurdwara, charity, and observing a day of the week for the planet involved. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra gives japa of the Vishnu Sahasranama and Durga and Lakshmi mantras in Rahu's sub-periods, for health. No remedy can decide a visa.
Are there Lal Kitab remedies for foreign settlement?
Yes, Lal Kitab practitioners suggest small acts tied to Rahu or the 12th house, such as gifts or keeping certain objects, and many people search for them. They are folk remedies, not verses from Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. Choose simple, free ones, avoid anything costly sold under pressure, and get a second opinion before paying for any ritual.
Does praying at Chilkur Balaji really help with a visa?
Many devotees believe it does, and the temple has drawn visa applicants for decades, but no prayer changes an immigration decision. The practice is free: 11 rounds while making a vow, 108 once the wish is fulfilled. Many people find the vow steadying during a long wait, as long as the paperwork stays in order.
Which mantra should I chant for going abroad?
No single mantra is prescribed for going abroad in the classical texts. Astrologers usually pick one for the planet behind the reading: a Rahu or Durga mantra for Rahu's period, a Vishnu mantra, or a Sun salutation. Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra names Vishnu Sahasranama, Durga and Lakshmi japa and salutation to the Sun among its remedies in Rahu's sub-periods.
If I only want free upay for going overseas, what will a Kismo chat charge me?
Asking about remedies on Kismo costs the astrologer's per-minute rate, from ₹15 a minute, one rate for chat and call. The first session carries 5 free minutes with no card needed. You pay from a wallet with a ₹100 minimum top-up, and only the minutes you use are charged; the rest stays in the wallet.
A pandit says I must buy a gemstone today or my visa will be refused. What should I do?
Do not buy under pressure; that is a red flag. No gemstone decides a visa, and a genuine astrologer explains the reason and gives you time. Get a second opinion before paying for any ritual or stone. On Kismo, an astrologer who pressures you or asks for money outside the app is handled by a person.
