Current, electricity, magnetic field, electrolysis, and aura create
distinctive unique constellations as much for things and individual persons as
for the cosmic galaxy. Magnificently
mystical are the constellations in the nightingale yet profoundly perceived in
relation to the individual persons in cosmic terms. Every night star is a unique star of destiny.
Vedic astrology is a scientific astrology based on the
principles and philosophy of Astronomical metaphysics. The Metaphysics of Vedic
astrology comprise in main the permutations extrapolations of the cosmic
configurations of the twenty seven constellations of stars, the entire
cosmology of Vedic sky, the nine karmic planets (namely Sun, Moon, Mars,
Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu), the cycle of moon - nitya (15
days bright and 15 days dark), the rotation and revolution of the earth and the
moon around the sun, the movement of planets and positioning of the planets
with the longitudes and the latitudes, the planetary qualities, the state of
the sky, numerology, twelve houses, twelve zodiac signs – ‘rashis’ (), and
karma - action in the passage of time ‘kaal’, and most importantly computation
of astrological charts in conjunction with the
The micro cosmic being – (‘jivan-atman’) and its entity
(‘manushya prakrutti’) is the same as the grand macro cosmic nature (God)
param-atman and its entity ‘jagada-prakrutti in principles and metamorphosis.
Thus the soul is related to the Sun and the mind is related to the Moon
directly. Mars is related to the fire, eyes, bile, thighs and limbs, as Mercury
is related to the intellect. Consciousness, spiritual eye, and growth in wisdom
is verily related to Jupiter as Venus is related to physical body, face, the
beauty, reproduction, material proliferation, beauty, and recreation.
Staleness, slumber-ness, nights, slow, rest, shrewdness, acuteness, obstacles,
rigidity, principles, altruism, karmic lessons are all related to Saturn and
Saturn is usually co-related to structure, hair, bones, and nails in the human
body. Rahu and Ketu are both the karmic planets and are usually related to the
most gross or the most subtle point in karma. Hence, the highest point in karma
is the Somam point or the cosmic divinity or the moksha point. Rahu and Ketu
make it possible for the North Pole and the South Pole to remain slightly
tilted without loosing its gravitational momentum. Hence, albeit Rahu and Ketu
both are considered malefic planets, they are the most karmic of all the
planets for without them the world would loose its momentum.
Purusha or atman is an absolute power static
and undyingly stale without any dynamic force of energy. The entire life spectrum generates motion
with energy and atomic reactions. All
visible and invincible life forces are atomic, micro and macro. Every human
being is a microcosmic embodiment of the same grand macrocosmic universal
existence in constitution and metamorphosis.
The Vedas co-relate the cosmological metamorphosis of existence to the
personal human spirit of life in what the great seers call ‘the
Electro-magnetic field of energies’.
Every object and every person, have an aura, an energy field, a
surrounding influence, and an Electro-magnetic field. In ‘Fengshui’, these concepts are referred to
as "Chi", "ki", and "yin-yang spheres". Every one of us is connected to one another
and to this grand globe at large in somewhat profound manner. We are individual rivers, small, large, big,
short, thick, thin, with our out fate and path.
Our paths may be different. Our
fates may be different. However, we
unite in destiny in togetherness of the existential spirit; as all the rivers
finally merge in the grand ocean in unilateral compassion of the spirit of
existence.
The co-existing energy fields and the
corresponding magnetic fields produce micro-atomic reactions with other life
forces. These energies are positive energies, negative energies, or neutral
energies. The grand web of intellectual
spectrum and information technology appears to be so huge and complex with
indefinite shapes and forms. However,
when closely examined, every one of us is one thread of existence in
spirit. Every spirit of life is
surviving like a river, small, medium, large, short, tall, wide, or
narrow. Every different river capers
wildly without a grand maestro, finding its unique course with the help of the
energy and power from the vast cosmos and the surrounding environment. Every different river finally almost divinely
merges into the ocean and becomes
Each capering river runs with its own unique
different path, almost like a complex web thread.
Concisely, current, energy, power, electrons,
and protons facilitate the connection made between varying threads of
existence. The energy known as ‘CHI’ is
the centrifugal force of this existence.
The ‘Yin-Yang’ spheres perpetuate the ‘chi’. This is my belief, my faith, and my factual
phenomenon of life.
Breath of life is energised air referred to as
wind (that, which in Vedas is called ‘Pranna’).
It is also known as "Feng".
"Pranna" or "Feng" operate
on ELECTRO-MAGNETIC ENERGY. In Vedas it
is referred to as ‘KUNDALINI – CHAKRA’ and is otherwise known as ‘YIN-YANG
SPHERE’.
The Kundalini travels to and from the base
chakra (sphere of aura) in seven different stages in Electro-magnetic
currents. Similarly, the YIN-YANG
travels in a CHI form to and from the base earthly matter to the entire
cosmos. The personal CHI flows in
Electro-magnetic current to and from the base coccyx chakra (the ‘Yoni’ point
or the ‘Yami’ point about 7 cm from the reproductive organ and the excretory
organ). The CHI or the kundalini makes a
field of electric and magnetic energies.
Every chi field is a result of the reaction, inter-action, reflection
and refraction of the karmic ACT. A
karmic action stretches beyond the superfluous matter of basic sense function.
The karmic plane of human universe perpetuates
on the ‘Pranna’ or the ‘yin-yang’/ ‘chi’ and makes rotations and revolutions of
CYCLES with "APAH" (water) or "SHUI". Without the perpetuation of energy with
‘apah’ or water or ‘Shui’, the "Agnee" (fire), will turn the earth,
the ether, and the wood (alias the bones and body), into ashes or
‘Rappah’. It is because of the
perpetuation of the water and air – currents of wind that we have days and
nights, seasons and weather conditions, full moon and darkest night-sky.
According to Vedas, an individual or a
collective Karma perpetuates in CYCLES.
The karmic cycle is similar to the momentum of life breath and water on
the axis of TIME. Like the rotation and
revolution of the earth, the cosmological spectrum on the INDENT OF TIME (past,
present and future).
Everything in existence is a reflection or a
refraction of the CHI. No single act or
collective act of karma is wholly ‘YIN’ or wholly ‘YANG’. In Vedas and ancient wisdom of the
From the darkness, lead us onwards to the
light and delight.
From the dull dreary mundane survival of
dreary materialism, take us to enlightenment and spiritual fulfilment.
Karma or action is influenced by many
factors. Primary factors in Vedic terms
are food, water, weather, environment, wind/air, affiliated people, and
‘thought-intent-action’. Secondary
factors are lifestyle, habits, family, and thoughts/attitude.
Feng-Shui means simply the external
(environmental) and the internal (spiritual) life.
According to the Tibetan wisdom,
"Feng-Shui" is the inter-acting reflection and refraction of the
human personality with the environment and the blood circulation resulting from
the INTAKE of air, food, CHI energy, and the metabolic rate of activity.
The primary influence in life is the
‘LIFE-FORCE’ called as ‘pranna’ or CHI energy.
Too cold ‘chi’ is as bad as too hot ‘chi’. Therefore, the aim of, Vedas, Tibetan Wisdom
and Feng-Shui, is to find a balance or equilibrium in every cycle of human
activity, human reflection and human refraction.
Secondary factors are called ‘indirect
influences’, which emanate from the ether or atmosphere.
The orb surrounds our attitude to life, our
outlook, our life style, and our vision.
The environment at a more subtle level indirectly influences the human
karma.
Knowing the ‘web of existence’ is an academic
and scientifically intellectual knowledge.
Understanding the ‘web of existence’ is profound wisdom of the
soul. It is only through ‘experience’
that we can possibly understand this ‘web of existence’.
One cannot alter destiny. Destiny is predefined in the sense that no
universal power can control death. As
such destiny is as mortal as the matter of the cycle that transforms from the
life to death and from death to life again.
One cannot alter the destiny of death.
Every life has an aggregate cycle comprising
sub-cycles of transformation from infancy to old age and death awaits us
all. This is destiny. However, the time of death is associated with
aggregate karma of the individual in relation to the eternal evolutionary time
known as a cycle.
Cycle or karma is known as ‘field of life
influence’ in Tibetan wisdom. The ‘field
of life influence’ attracts or repels the gravitational force of life and the
centrifugal force of existence in currents. A typical aggregate cycle of Karmic
current can be negative, positive, stagnant/ stale, rapid/ fast or even
calm/quiet. Fate however is based on karma and fate perpetuates in cycles.
Karma is past, present or future (intended act
with our thoughts). This is like the
passage of time from the night to the day and from the day to the night. ‘Field of influences’ shape, infuse or diffuse
our directional life force (‘karma’) and life energy (‘pranna’ or ‘spiritual
chi’). Like the flow of river currents
being regulated infused or diffused by positive Electro-magnetic equipment and
means. Therefore, the perpetuity of the ‘chi’ from the yin to yang in rotations
and revolutions transforms from the north axis to the south axis in a reverse
"S" form with two dots on either side forming a grand circumference
of the perpetuity. When the reverse "S"
becomes infinite, it is almost like the digit "8" in a circle. According
to Vedas and the Tibetan wisdom, there are eight total directions and a further
centrifugal point holding all eight directional points in a circumference of
perpetuity. This centrifugal point is
known as the divine point that which in Vedas is referred to as the
"Brahma Bindu" or the "Nav-needhee sat" – eternal most
spiritual point. The symbol Aum in Vedas
is also a based on the digit "8" and the circumference of the outer
circle of aura ending in a point or "Bindu". The dot alias ‘Bindu’ with the spiral eight
forms a nine. ‘Nine’ is the number of
spiritual transformation. The Vedas and
the Tibetan wisdom of Feng-Shui consider the numerical numbers one to nine,
astral numerology.
Hence, the astral numerology is based on numbers
one to nine.
The Vedic karmic analysis looks at twelve main
active houses (‘bhava’), twelve signs of zodiac (called rashi’s) and nine main
planets (‘graha’).
Whilst the Vedic analytic charts focuses on
the nine directional fate of ‘karma’, Feng-Shui focuses on the nine directional
effect of the environment in coherent relation to the composite personality
(comprising the mind, the physical body, and the astral identity) and karma.
Vedic astrology places emphasis upon the
karmic cycles and the cycles of the planets whereas the Feng-Shui wisdom and
Tibetan astrology place emphasis upon the grid or directions.
Two are very similar in output results but
different in analytical terms. Vedic remedial healing encompasses directional
and cosmic directions and every cosmic point can be co-related in like to like
terms with the Feng-Shui and the 360 degrees grid and the nine directional
points. Even our Swastika is co-related to the cosmic deities and cosmic forces
of karma and therefore, Swastika is considered to be the yantra of the ‘digpal’
or cosmic directions. Feng-Shui looks at every house from the centre point (the
point of holding eight directions together and forming a cycle of karma in time
so the clockwise movement is considered auspicious whereas the anti-clockwise
movement is considered inauspicious. Clockwise movement is considered to
enhance and induce energies and anticlockwise movement is considered to burn
the energies and repel. Clockwise movement is soothing whereas the
anti-clockwise movement is aggravating.

numbers from one to eight.

The essential
Vedic astrological permutations are based on ‘kala chakra’ (time that is split
into past, present and future in perpetuity).
The cosmos is a one huge ‘shunya’ (zero) of vast space (‘akash’) without
any form. The space is segmented by four
elements namely air, water, fire, and earth; each containing attributable
nature namely ‘sattva’ (pure, sublime, finer), ‘rajas’ (rich, esoteric,
combust), and ‘tamas’ (stale, dull, rot, and decay). The gravitational force rotates, revolves,
and permutes in cycles around twelve main ‘rasi’ (zodiacal stars). Each cycle
can be studied under the VARGA (divisional chart of twelve houses) and nine
energies). There are nine energies and nine cosmic forces, which influence the
karmic metamorphosis of kaal chakra.
Nine directions and nine ‘graha’ (active planetary constitution)
influence the nine karmic cycles of causation of effect. Each pad (passage of time taken for the moon)
is either dark (

astrology is scientifically appropriate to the grid of time.

The moon cycle of ‘shukla nitya’ (fifteen bright days to
full moon) and ‘krishna-nitya’ (fifteen dark days of the descending moon) form
30 ‘tithis’, (aspect causation in co-relationship to the circle of earth from
the north axis to the south axis). This
complete revolution in a 360 degrees is sub-divided by 30 degrees each. The 360 degrees is divided by twelve to give
30 degrees each forming a permutation of the cosmic zodiac horoscope sign. Clasping each Zodiac sign is a cusp. A cusp is like a link and bears approximately
12.5 degrees (according to Fengshui it is 15 degrees). Each link forms a sphere of cosmos. In aggregate terms, the stars, the planets,
and various cosmic constellations form the circumference of the galaxy.
Each causation is ruled by corresponding ‘yog’ (additional
nature which is auspicious, inauspicious or neutral). A Cosmic lord or deity rules each ‘yog’ in
turn. The ‘yog’ (the aspect of nature)
is segmented by 27 sectors of asterism (‘nakshatra’).
Each soul, spirit of life enters the material world from
the seven compartments of the cosmos namely the celestial, the deity, the
spiritually sublime, the terrestrial, the animal, the ghosts, and the evil
doers. The examination of the sun and
the moon in an astrological chart will determine which ascendant or lagna has
followed on from the previous life.
The time of birth depicts a ‘nakshatra’ or cosmic
constellation. Constellation is very
important firstly because it provides link to the personality associated with
the ascendant (lagna) and the life force or the nature of the pranna prevailing
in the ‘deha-sharir’ (body). Secondly,
it provides an indication of the ‘tithi’ (type of time). ‘Tithi’ can be conducive of producing the
following physical DOSHA types:

Three main qualities of nature control desire. They are namely Sattvic (pure, sublime, super
intelligent, abstract, conceptual, perceptual, idealist), rajjasic (intellect,
ambition, drive, ego, mind, thought, and exotic pleasure) and tamasic (gross,
stable, stagnant, dull, and dark) - desire to live, desire to please and the
desire to free. In Vedic astrology, each nakshatra (one constellation) is any
of the above seven Dosha constitutions. The prakrutti is the birth
constellation whereas the vikrutti is the current constellation. It is the transit or the ‘chalit’ kundali.
Rashi (birth), navaamsha (karmic) and the ‘Chalit’ (current) kundali are the
most prominent charts to examine.
Each of the nine planets transits the prakrutti (birth
constitution) under the vikrutti (current state of configurations of the
planets). Therefore, we place the rashi/
birth chart together with the gochara/ transit to determine the effects of the
planets transiting the Prakrutti to make it the present Vikrutti or the state
or the condition or the prayog.
NAKSHATRA represents the
nature of the spirit of the person whereas the ascendant represents the karmic
personality of the individual based on previous life karma.
What we are today is the result of our past. What we may be tomorrow will transpire from
our present karma and our present dharma (sacrificial religious deeds). We learn from the past, labour (in rites,
rituals, ceremonial sacrifices, and humanitarian compassion) in the present,
and aspire for the future.
Ascendant is the eastern point on the latitude of birth in
Zodiac earth. Everything is in relation
to the earth. The sun has no motion. The
sun is almost tantamount to the purusha or the param-atman, alias that which
does not move. Everything revolves
around this giant static energy.
Rotation of every planet occurs around the sun in anti-clockwise
direction as seen from the northern celestial hemisphere. Its projection from the earth would look like
progressive rings of orbs and rings of rotations and revolutions.

The karmic cycle of spiritual germination may encounter
all twelve or part thereof before final destiny of moksha is attained.
No absolute truth yet exists to prove exactly how the
mystical spiritual journey manifests in the unknown.
Understanding our own spirit for the karmic picture may be
derived from our perception of the birth charts or otherwise through intuition and
divinity.
The nightingale has fascinated me since I was a
child. I have always gazed at the
nightingale whenever I have felt hurt.
The night sky gives me great comfort.
It is somewhat mystical and magical yet comforting. Since I was a child, I believed very strongly
in my deepest sub-consciousness, that every individual person is a unique star
of destiny in the nightingale. Mysticism
is scientifically so immaculate and perfect.
Stars come and go, Suns rise and set, seasons come and go
time eternal perpetuates in cycles of karma as though the momentum of time
never ends.
The glory is to the effulgent power of Sun without which
the galaxy would be so dark. The glory
is to the beautiful Moon without whose silver shine the night sky would become
so sombre. The glory is the strong brave
Mars, the intelligent Mercury, the Chief Justice Jupiter, the fertile Venus,
The spiritual Saturn and the Lunar Rahu and Ketu. The glory is to the stars without whose
configurations the night sky would seem life-less and the spiritual world would
almost not appear.
The glory is to the whole great mystical galaxy full of
mysticism that benignly speaks to us of the magnificent beauty of that one
divine supreme eternal God – Hari-Aum-Tat-Sat. Not this, nor that, thou art the
divine light of truth and thine divine light is the one beautiful truth. Only every vision is like a snapshot or
picture taken from different point of life with different vision of life
experience and with different perception of life. If we were to remove these differences, we
will take a leap into the mystical unknown, almost in togetherness of divine
compassion, of the universal spirit of life. The bare existence is subtle
cosmic energy and the same subtle cosmic energy prevails in either Sattvic (pure),
rajjasic (causative) or tamasic (gross) form in all beings. The table below shows the Sattvic, rajjasic
and tamasic qualities of houses and planets:

The multidimensional human energy field or ‘aura’ travels
like currents in the rivers in what we call ‘meridians’. Meridians via veins and arteries nourish
every organ and cell. These meridians
are supported by vortexes of energies called ‘chakras’.
A disruption in the flow of energy ‘chi’ results whenever
a blockage accumulates in any of the seven chakras or meridians. Blockages
destroy harmony, and traumatise the subconscious reflexes of the mind and the
nervous system. Diseases as well as
mental and emotional disorders in the physical body procure. The karmic adversity, of gross physical,
physical and mental states, is directly (environmental) or indirectly (universal
aggregate energy field) the causation. When imbalances are greater, the symptom
become more gross and visible on the deha-sharir (gross body) either as disease
‘rog’ or otherwise as disability. Vedas do not suggest that a perfect state of
bliss is attainable in one snap shot or miracles. Mythology of dooms spell, black magic, or all
round misery is not only a result of the evil eye but also a karmic
manifestation of previous life karma.
The dark and dull condition of life cannot be eradicated sometimes in
just one lifetime. It may take more than
one lifetime to eradicate the evil.
Every single moment of life is an opportunity to dissolve
and to diminish the sorrowful misery of darkness and dullness by knowledge,
wisdom, love, compassion, and sacrificial rites, rituals, ceremonies, and
humanity. TRUTH ALONE TRIUMPHS and the light of the sun never failing always
illuminates. The spirit of life is
greater and more profound than the ego. In the
universe of humankind, the human mind has created, recreated, and modified all
the mortal materialism. The human mind
and the human ego thrive on ‘change’.
The human personality dwells in the elapsing
universe, in ‘thought’ and ‘operational’ faculties of the functional mind. The extrinsic universe rotates, revolves, and
unfolds with time. The intrinsic spirit
of life grows, evolves, and transforms itself.
Nothing in the human universe is EVER absolute.
Everything on the karmic plane of existence is
relative, impermanent, and transitorily in a change mode. The karmic plane of existence is mortal. The ancient Tibetan wisdom splits matter into
five elements namely tree, fire, soil, metal and water. Similarly, the Vedas refer the
‘Bhumee-Vastusastra’ (matter and environment) as a fusion of ‘Agnee’ (fire), ‘Vayau’
(Wind), ‘Apah’ (Water), ‘Ether’ (atmosphere), and ‘Mitti’ (Soil) with the
kundalini in seven chakras. These
elements include or exclude ‘yin’ and ‘yang’ CHI to form a spectrum. If logically then we were to adhere to the
Vedic concepts and Feng-Shui in a scientific manner, nothing in life is
permanent. We dwell on all the
impermanence and forget the core issue of the spirit. Spirit must evolve in order to grow closer to
the nectar of sublime most truth.
In Vedas it is called AUM TAT
Thus re-birth in the human form is a great
opportunity to become united with eternity in compassion of the spirit.
Dissolution of one human cycle of impermanence
and mortality is a beginning of another newer cycle, a reminder for repentance,
retribution, consecration, and resolution in "karma". Thus, the human life, is a penultimate
opportunity for spiritual growth and spiritual awareness, in karmic
progressions. The human life is the rarest gift in time to elevate from the
darkness comprising ignorance, greed, lust, anger, desires, envy, jealousy,
malice, avarice, and gross material attachments. Nothing in life is as important as being
simply happy about life itself. It is by
far our greatest human right and this human bare existence can only manifest in
pure state of sublime bliss.
‘Knowing it all’ is ‘intellectualism’ and it
does not necessarily hold true compassion of the spirit. Between the heavenly skies and the human
earth, grows the "EGO".
Between the spirit and the personality/ matter, the ego dances in the
shadows of the intellect (budhi). The
Ego only sees what the intellect perceives.
The ego power always wants to feel right. The Ego power knows it all, thinks it all,
through the mind power and provides great REASON and CAUSE to the material
world.
The chaos and crises projected by our grand
world at large is the reflection of this EGO.
The many wars and the catastrophic epiphanies all over the world
represent eruption in the human ego power and the camouflage of conflict.
The individual "EGO" as a generic
identity is no different to the global EGO as a collective reflection of the
world we are in. An individual ego
projects and proclaims all the time with the greatness of “I”, mightiness of
“ME” and the supreme regime of political power, prestige, status and brand
name.
The world of fierce competition and ruthless
survival begins with in fear and ends in fear.
From childhood, a sense of CONFLICT is enacted between the super ego and
the spirit of life.
The conflict between the light and dark
prevail in perpetual cycles of karma.
The light is one truth. The truth
is beautiful. To know it we have to become
it. To understand it we have to dissolve
the conflict. The conflict of darkness
and the dullness comprise ignorance, pride (stubbornness), ego, avarice,
jealousy, greed, lust, anger, desires, and material power.
Altruism of ‘understanding it all’ in
‘profoundest quintessence’ transforms the human personality. In time, it diminishes the habitual survival
and progressively unites the light of the spirit to the eternal light of the
Sun. Shiva is ‘Rudra’ in Vedas, that transforms and redeems whilst destroying
the mundane past full of dark ignorance and drudgery. Even when we are afraid and lonely, we must
persistently be determined to shut off the buzzing noises, rushing traffic,
conflicts, and opinions.
Nothing in human life remains the same forever. The light of the Sun ‘never failing’ is the
eternal light of immortal truth. The
roaring ocean is the open heart of the compassion.
The teeming vast sky is the infinite glory of
the magnificent stars. The moving galaxy
is the perfect momentum of eternity. The
universal earth is the most beautiful plateau of earth, water, wind, fire, and
ether put together. All you need to see
and believe is the perfect timeless beauty of this wonderful magnificent nature
of God. The Vedic concept of Godhead is
based on "togetherness". In
togetherness of the cosmic forces, we invoke the cosmic energies to diffuse the
karmic fate and transform it into HOPE.
The diffusion process is "Upayas" (REMEDY). The remedy of rectifying stagnant, stale,
negative and adverse energies. When,
Pranna (life breath), Tejas (blood) and Ojas (life sap-immune) are at their
optimum, the body is and the mind is healthy.
The greatest ecstatic joy is the intrinsic joy
of being happy without the conditional memory of the mundane human survival -
to be free infinitely beyond the reality of earthly life of ‘all this and all
that’. Our human life is based on
‘support’, ‘creation’, ‘preservation’, ‘dissolution and destruction’.
Too much Pranna will create anxiety, worry,
insomnia, loss of memory and concentration, mental depression and
suppression. Excess pranna aggravates
kundalini and dries up the Ojas (life-sap immune). Kundalini is blocked in the base chakra and
second chakra when this happens because of which lower back, coccyx, and kidneys
hurt. Excess Tejas also depletes Ojas by
burning the immune life-sap because of which depletion and lack of blood
circulation, Ida, and pingla (two life energy currents of kundalini) are
aggravated in sushumna (the invincible carrier/transported of kundalini).
The Vedas do not see an individual soul
different to that of the global soul of the earth. As such, the offering of oblation is not
merely for the self, but for the global union of togetherness, peace, and
harmony. If the global universal spirit
of this world at large is in a huge dilemma and crises from many ecological,
political, economical and sociological aspects, it is because the individual
COLLECTIVE AGGREGATE human spirit is in conflict.
To transform in karmic terms, it is necessary
to dissolve and destroy the dreary mundane past filled with fear, crises,
conflict, aggression, reason and chaos.
It is necessary to create a new support to preserve and maintain
universal peace in ‘togetherness’.
Restructuring and re-engineering the personal ‘chi’ and
creating a newer awareness is a process called ‘Upayas’. It is almost very similar to removing
blockages from flow of the river so that the flow becomes swifter more radiant
and vibrant.
The Vedic Consulting focuses on ‘Upayas’ (rectification
and dissolution) based on mantra-manjaree (chanting of holistic mantra uniquely
appropriate asterism), ‘anushthan’ (charity, sacrificial deeds, rites and
rituals) and ‘tyaag’ (sacrificial detoxification). The primary objective of the
Vedas is to align the spiritual existence and to promote evolution of the
spirit. The secondary objective of the
Vedas is to bring illuminating light ‘jyoti-prakash’ from the Sun into the
individual spirit of life.
In an intensive Vedic analysis, we look at the various
influences, environmental factors, chi energies, diet, lifestyle, and karmic
constellations.
Identifying and
merely giving astrological birth charts and astrological reports render a
substantial danger firstly of not being an end in itself and secondly of being
subjectively non-absolute. Therefore, no
astrological reports are absolute.
A true Vedic perception of human personality does not
consider the tools and analytical methods and means, as an end. Rather it considers the transformation
process of leaving behind the mundane past and transmigrating into
illumination. This transformation
process is what I term as EVOLUTION OF THE SPIRIT. Evolution process takes many
collective karmic years .
JYOTISHA
Vedic astrology is known as jyotisha. Jyotisha is a revelation of the cosmic
constellations of the individual astral being.
Scepticism cannot perceive the divine light of jyotisha. It is in the interpretation, the qualitative
deductions and the qualitative understanding of the nature, characteristics, and
significance of various complex constellations VEDIC ASTROLOGY becomes a
scientific tool of analysis of the JANMA-PRAKRUTTI (personal karmic
constitution)-KARMIC-VIKRUTTI (vitiated TRANSIT constitution). If Vedic
astrology constitutional birth chart (janma-prakrutti) is correctly drawn, it
will be a similar like to like reflection of the palm and the map of the
palm. Furthermore, the same overview
reflection will be shown from the numerological computations.
What makes
VEDIC ASTROLOGY so special and unique?
It is based on the principles of the cosmic science
derived from the VEDAS and it is an exact like to like literal existence of the
cosmic sky. Vedic astrology is referential to the ishtha-LAGNA (ascendant),
and, the sun and the moon configurations.
It is based on specific nakshattara (constellation),
prevailing at the specific time, the individual soul (jivan-atman) comes into
life, and an individual ego (identity) is formed. Like the first cry of the baby, the first
breath of the baby outside of the womb, the disconnection of the umbilical
chord, and the formation of the individual identity. The AHAM-TATTVA (individual ego) assumes a
form based on one of the tri-gunas (three gunas). The three gunas are:
-
Sattwic (sukshma/subtle,
komal/sublime, sushil/pure, divya/divine, and adhya-atmic/ soul conscience
devotion, ‘dharmic’/religious, and premic/universally loving).
-
Rajjasic (karmic –
samsahric/inter-active, prashnic/inquisitive, vyadhic/insecure,
mohatic/ambitious, virya/strong, baal/brave, kshatriya/warrior, yudhawan/army
of battlefield, ahamkaric/egoist, chintit/defiance, and kshatra/weapon)
-
Tammasic (krishna/dark,
krurr/dull, dreary, mundane, gross, ignorant, desirous, illusive and
pleasures).
GUNAS can be one, mixes of two, or tri-gunic. Seven combinations emanate from the
inter-mixing of the above three gunas.
SATTWA, RAJJAS, TAMMAS, SAT-RAJ, SAT-TAM, RAJ-TAM, SAT-RAJ-TAM become
the seven combinations of gunas based on the placements of the planets at the
time of the birth.
Janma-patrika is the constellation map of the cosmic
sky.
A specific JANMA-PATRIKA will have RASI, NAKSHATTARA
(ASTROLOGICAL GROUP OF STARS), ASCENDANT, and THE SPECIFIC DASA point
(perpetual karmic point) at which the individual ego was formed.
Every life spirit on the human planet is a unique cosmic
star of constellation, a cosmic entity, and an individual microcosmic
spirit. Vedic astrology is based on
TWELVE HOUSE –NINE PLANET systems. The
twelve houses are the twelve aspects or forms of MORTAL KARMIC LIFE. THESE TWELVE HOUSES ARE THE KEY DWELLINGS OF
EACH TYPE OF KARMIC OCCURRENCE (COLLECTIVE KARMA OF MORE THAN ONE
LIFETIME). Each house contains 30
degrees aggregating 360 degrees (HENCE TOTAL OF 12 HOUSES). The ecliptic path is an esoteric belt of 9
degrees and –9degrees, in which all planets, stars, and cosmic forces revolve
around the sun. THIS BROAD BELT OF 18 DEGREES IS CALLED THE ZODIAC ORBIT.
Mystical science of
ASTROLOGICAL cosmos is based on logic, rationale, insight, and inspirational
deductions of foresight. Foresight is
not black and white. It cannot be proven
until certain events have occurred.
Astrology is like a guide.
Astrology is like a map.
Astrology is like a pathfinder, which makes the LIFE KARMA (our life)
meaningful, purposeful, progressive, and relative to past, present and future
TIME.
The VEDIC
ASTROLOGICAL SCIENCE entails ETERNAL SPIRIT – ETERNAL TIME – ETERNAL KARMA (THE
ACT OF DOING
Beyond the wholesome finite existence of the
pancha-mahabhutas (elemental form)-senses and sensory perception-tri-gunas

When various practices of the
The Vedas discourage practices, rites, rituals, and karma
that do not support the proportionate balance of the tri-gunas. Therefore, extremities are similar to
eccentricities. Moderation, right
action, right thought, right life, right food, right goals, and absolute divine
humbleness imply DHARMA and MOKSHA. Dharma and Moksha are last phases of the
karmic cycle, whereas kaam (pleasure) and artha (enjoyment of ego-mind) are
lower phases of karmic cycle. Eternal purpose of manushya: To realise the Eternal
Spirit (MOKSHA-MUKTEE).
The soul transmigrates, journeys and experiences life in
different modes depending on different circumstances (yogs), different
conditions (prayogs), and different levels of KARMA (gross
material-material-physical-meta-physical-emotional-spiritual-divine). The collective human life experiences four
basic modes of life-purposes either in one or more lifetime. The four life-purposes for karma to manifest
are:
- KAMMA
(desires, pleasure, practical mundane level, gross physical and physical). In Vedic astrology, houses numbers three,
seven and eleven are kamma houses.
-
ARTHA (practical work, practical
physical, career, finance, practical goal).
Houses, two, six, and ten are artha houses.
-
DHARMA (Duty, selflessness,
servitude, religion, and performance of field duty). Houses first, fifth, and ninth are dharma
houses.
-
MOKSHA (Spiritual, divinity,
attainment of liberation, freedom from the pain and sufferings of karma). Houses fourth, eight, and twelfth are moksha
houses.
God incarnate Lord Krishna specifically stipulate to life
principal Arjuna that the true devotee is a profoundly humble servant who does
NOT claim to own or possess any material glitter in titles, prestige, ego,
status. A divine servant of God is a
seer, an liberator, a facilitator, and a warrior to protect righteousness and
good conduct. Only in giving light and
only in unconditionally directing the seekers towards GODHEAD, does the Vedic
sciences of astrology prevail appropriate.
When Vedic astrological science is used for reasons other than,
rendering genuine true light/jyott it is considered A COMMERCIAL MYTH. Therefore the intention of the astrologer and
the intention of the seer of the astrology IS CENTRIFUGAL to the VEDIC
ASTROLOGICAL SCIENCE. According to Lord Krishna, NO
Vedic astrological science acts as a guide, as an insight
only towards spiritual growth or otherwise towards evolution of the spirit in
experience.
No two experiences in life will be identical. Vedas explicitly make emphasis on KAAL AS A
MOVING ELAPSING TIME. Time that has
become a bygone past can never be experienced again. Only in memory and only in flashes of the
glimpses can a spirit of life recall during the last few moments of the life on
earth.
The Vedic birth chart shows purpose, KARMA PATH, DEVOTION
PATH, SUFFERING PATH, ADVERSITIES, AND REWARDS, to be fulfilled in this
lifetime.
Karmic purpose is shown from the following:
1.
NAKSHATRA (CONSTELLATION OF BIRTH)
and NAV-karmic graha-patrika (nine karmic planetary positions across the twelve
houses).
2.
PLACEMENT OF THE ASCENDANT (POINT
OF EASTERN HORIZON).
3.
PLACEMENT OF THE MOON (POINT OF
LUNAR AXIS)
4.
PLACEMENT OF THE SUN

Every being is unique, almost as though no two individuals
could be same in all characteristic criteria.
However, similarities may exist in the individuality and
personalities.
These similarities are grouped into 27 NAKSHATRAS over 360
degrees of time. Each group of constellations
is covered by 9.3 degrees plus 4 degrees of cusps giving a total of 13.3
degrees. Hence, KAAL is divided into 27
NAKSHATRAS PLUS ONE MORE NAKSHATRA OUSIDE THE ORBIT CALLED THE ABHIJI NARAYANNA
NAKSHATRA (LORD VISHNU).
Janma-prakrutti (life birth
chart), is a pictorial elucidation of the planets.
Planets rotate around
the sun in an anti-clockwise direction as seen from the northern most celestial
hemisphere.
Rotation of the earth crosses all twelve signs of the zodiac.
Average daily angular
motions are:
SUN 00-59-10.68 DEGREES
MOON 13-20 DEGREES

Metaphorically speaking:
FOR our purposes, the orbit is inclined @ 5 degrees to the
ecliptic celestial orb (the horizontal plane, which passes through the equator
and the centre of the sun).
The moon ascends and descends into the southern and
northern hemisphere in a clockwise direction if seen from the somma-bindu-point
(the Northern Hemisphere). Moon
completes its entire cycle of revolution in 18.6 solar years.
The northern node is known as RAHU, whilst the southern
node of the moon is known as KETU. Vedic
Rishis considered moon to be a karmic planet (the doer), whereas the sun to be
an adhya-atmic (‘know’er’) planet.
RAHU AND KETU are moksha planets. Rahu is connected with the detachment of the
mind and the ego from the mortal impermanence.
Ketu is connected with the detachment of the physical and material
desires from the impermanence of mortal manushya-lokka (human world).

the full moon), Mercury in progression, Jupiter, Venus, and Sun are ‘saumyaic’

Sun, Mars, Saturn, Moon, Rahu, and Ketu are ‘krrurruk’ (malefic). Moon is a she and ‘Ksheena chandra’ weakest
on the 14th and 15th days of the dark cycle of the
moon. From the 8th day of the
bright cycle of the moon to the 8th day of the dark cycle of the
moon, the moon is benefice, strong, and romantic. Most fatal accidents, tragedies, and
epiphanies occur between the 10th day of the dark cycle of the moon
and the 15th day of the dark cycle of the moon. The dark cycle of the moon is called the
Mercury is a neutralising planet and it increases or
decreases the effect of a specific planet depending upon the lordship and
ownership of the particular house.
JUPITER IS CONSIDERED THE LORD OF NINE PLANETS. The sun is the soul, the moon is the mind,
Mars is the strength, and Mercury is the speech. Jupiter is the priest of cosmic knowledge,
wisdom, and divinity. Venus is the potency (virility), and Saturn is the karmic
giver of grief, sorrow, and unhappiness for teaching the ego and the mind the
lessons of karma and impermanence. Rahu
and Ketu are two half planets THE HEAD AND THE TAIL. AKASH-SKY, VAYAU-WIND, AGNEE-FIRE,
APAH-WATER, PRITHVEE-EARTH ARE pancha-mahabhutas governed by Jupiter, Saturn,
Mars, Venus, and Mercury. Karmic
position of the planets according to seasons:
KAAL:
1 Mahurtha = 2 gharis = 48 mintes
1 Dina = day = 48 mintes * 15 mahurthas = 720 minutes/60 =
12 hours
Sawan = one sunrise to another sunrise
Ahoratra = (dina+ratree) = 24 hours or 60 gharis or 1440
minutes/
Paksha = ½ of the sawan month or 15 dinas (days).
SHUKLA PAKSHA = 15 DAYS TO FULL MOON/PURANMASSI
EKA CHANDRA MASS = one lunar month
Moon rotates around 27 nakshatras in 30 days.
Each mahurtha is then subjected to TITHI/ lunar period of

GODHEAD, AND DHARMA (RIGHTEOUSNESS) DESPITE THE SEVERE ADVERSITIES AND TRAUMA
SHE UNDERWENT IN LOOSING EVERYTHING MATERIAL AND EVERY ATTACHMENTS. Similarly, in the KARMIC LIFE of mortal
beings, we were born with nothing in our hands and we die with nothing in our
hands. In between is just a mirage, an
illusion, a MAYA. That KARMIC LIFE is
just a transitory passage in the journey of the soul. ADVERSITY, PAIN, GRIEF, SUFFERING comes in
one’s life to associate US to our root karma.
If tragedies happen to us, we MUST question collective family and
collective root KARMA and re-attribute retrospectively. The reason that we are born to a certain
background, certain environment, certain family, certain society, certain
condition, certain parentage, certain roots is because of our PREVIOUS
KARMA. In this, present life, we are
born to share the pain and sorrows of our families and to contribute and to
awaken from the sacrifices, rites, rituals, ceremonial devotions, bhakti-Rasa,
and sharing the good happiness and harmony (no matter how small it may
be).

RECIPROCATORS IN A HUMAN ENTITY
Vedic Astrology and karma
“From Darkness lead us to light; From non-being lead
us to being; From death lead us to immortality”
One
cannot teach humankind anything; one can only help find it (the truth) amidst
imperfections of time and circumstances and conditions prevalent in the passage
of time. That which is neither conscious nor unconscious, which is invisible,
impalpable, indefinable, unthinkable, unnameable; whose very essence consists
of the experience of its own divine self; which absorbs all diversity, is
tranquil and benign, without a second, which is what they call the fourth state
-- that verily is the atman. This it is the truthfulness the blissfulness and
the serene which should be known, discovered and realised beyond the manifest.
‘Dharma’
in Vedas is NOT the institutional religions propagated by humankind under
various umbrellas of political organisations, politics and man made
bureaucracies. If one remains at the top of this system the so called system of
man made religions, one cannot actually experience the life of life and deliver
to the human kind the difference between the wisdom and knowledge. One can
preach dharma only when one comes down to the level of state of humanity.
Dharma is one’s obligatory duty and one’s rightful obligation in this life.
Dharma is to protect the innocent, to nourish the childlike, to uphold the
purity and to cleanse the impurity. Dharma is to remove the darkness of
ignorance and replace it with the light of wisdom and awareness. Dharma is to
grant compassion and love to those less fortunate than ourselves. Dharma is to
give food, clothing and shelter to those who need it. Dharma is to make peace
and not war. Dharma is to love and not to hate. Dharma is to aggregate and
collate and remove differentiations, discriminations, segregations, divisions,
multiplicity, complex structures, complicated systems, and individualism.
Universal
religion can only manifest if we remove names, forms, shapes and sizes, and
personalised wardrobes full of fashions and styles. In simplicity, we need to
uniformly recognise beyond doubts that the world is one, this earth is one,
therefore there is only one common aspect between one another and that is love,
compassion and self-respect. What is the purpose of practicing ardent religious
means when we cannot remain together at the simplest level to love one another
and to respect one another? Therefore,
Vedic astrology is NOT construed as being the tool of humanity if it spreads
doubts, paranoia, delusions, and dualism. Vedic astrology is a light of divine
wisdom of Gods and deities and divinity can only bring forth light and hope.
Vedic
astrology entails purity, divinity and self-less-ness. Vedic astrology is NOT
to be practiced for commercialism (‘dakshina’ is a nominal fees for time
consumed).
The
Four Goals of Life – human karma:
Vedic
wisdom elucidates that we are not our body, mind or emotions. We are divine
souls on a wondrous journey of karma.
We
came from God, live in God and are evolving into oneness with God. We are, in
truth, the Truth we seek, towards that light of truth we perish in matter. We
are that seed, in time we germinate and towards time we dissolve in karma.
To
desire is not wrong. But it should be rightful/ legitimate. Desire is at the
root of all things, with the macro-cosmic as well as the micro-cosmic. It is a
desire to manifest itself that started the first vibration in the Un-manifest
Consciousness. All manifestation and Cosmo genesis starts first from this first
desire and vibration, which is perceived as the vibration of AUM. By a long
process, the manifest universe of five elements arises from the un-manifest.
Vedic
science implies that there are four karmic goals of life. These four karmic
objects that human beings pursue are ‘kama’ (desire, ambitions, mind,
emotions), ‘artha’ (proliferation – growth, prosperity, wealth, children,
attachment, outstanding debts), ‘dharma’ (obligations, duties, rightful
sacrifices, tolerance, giving compassion, humility, humanity), and moksha (the
communion of sacred divinity, union of soul and universal spirit of cosmic
godhead, merging of two lights, losses, giving up the mirage, giving up the
life of pleasure and undertaking stillness, meditation, spiritual awareness).
Beyond
these four purposes of life is nirvana or the state of tranquil static divinity
whereat there is neither karma nor any desire for karma. It is a state of pure
infinite stillness.
Translated as
desire, it is the achievement of one's aspirations. All desires and ambitions
are part of “
Artha
It refers to the
acquisition of wealth or resources that are valuable. Wealth is essential to
allow us to function happily in life. When knowledge is used for supporting
oneself, it can also be part of artha.
Dharma
It is the Way,
the Natural law or that which is natural. It is the dharma of the Sun to shine.
It is the dharma of the planets to revolve around the Sun. Dharma, when
followed diligently, will carry one across the ocean of existence. To follow
dharma, is to go with the cosmic flow. Though the role of religion is to
indicate or show what dharma is, often it ends up in dogma and ritual. Dharma
is much more than religion. It is beyond all dogmas and narrow ideas religion.
Following dharma
is doing what you ought to do. Dharma is one’s obligatory duties and sacrifices
and oblations towards one’s time here and now between the life and death in the
passage of present life time. Death will encounter and the time will no longer
be available. So, the present time, the present moment is considered as the
most significant in doing right. One must think not of the reward or anticipate
results but one must pray and one must perform the sacrificial duty and one
must give all to the issue at hand, to the circumstantial condition at hand;
one must bring positive acceptance of all the adversities at the present moment
in time. Most learned saints and sages live in the present moment in time to
utilise it as the only moment available for nourishing and worshiping, for
doing good and being good. When the karma bank becomes surplus, life
automatically will alter.

‘Dharma bhava’ Religion houses
If
we uphold dharma, dharma will protect us (dharmo rakshati rakshitah). If a
person has led a life of ‘satt-dharma’ (virtue) in the past, the effects or
repercussions or consequences are seen in the current incarnation. This could
take the form of intelligence and good education (represented by the 5th and
9th houses) ‘drishtti’ (aspect) and otherwise influences of planets inclusive.
Later on in life (or at some point of time), it can also manifest in the birth
of good children and happiness through them (again in the 5th and 9th houses).
Should the karmic seed be depleted, children and growth in the family may
usually be rule out. Finally, if the Dharma has been very strong, it gives
sadhana (mantra in the 5th and guru/spiritual teacher' in the 9th). Dharma is
associated with health, mind, and clarity of reasoning. The highest religion is
the one that is needed of a subject during the present lifetime based on one’s
previous karma. Hence, the challenges of one’s karmic life to make right from
wrong take the toil out of one’s conditions. However, a ‘dharma tevi’ one who
is favoured by the divinity shall get help and support from higher order at
every point in one’s crises and upheaval as though it is a sheer miracle from
the higher order. ‘Bhakti’ (devotion), satt-karma (good deeds), satyah
(righteousness), karuna (compassion), premah (love), and shantih (peace),
contribute towards evolution in Dharma and onwards enjoyment of one’s life here
and now. The karmic cycles of planets:
Karmic cycles of
dina/ day and their respective ruling planet:
The KARMA OF
SEVEN PLANETS
Rahu and Ketu are
karmic planets and as such are known as the nodes of the moon. The moon and the
earth remain in karmic balance around the soul SURYA Sun and the seven planets
because of karmic momentum of the Rahu and Ketu.
Dharma – bhava
prakasha-
One cannot control this triangle much in
this lifetime as it depends on previous good karma or merits of past life.
---
Artha houses
The houses
associated with ‘Artha’ are: 2nd, 6th and 10th. They are also the
houses associated with the profession of the person which then leads to the
creation of wealth/prosperity. To ascertain an individual's profession (which
is the means to wealth or artha), we have to analyse the artha triangle. i.e.
houses 2, 6 and 10. The second indicates finances and accumulation of wealth. The
sixth indicates service, rivals, debts etc. "Living on others'
money”, being the order of the day, making money through others' money comes
here. Most businesses run on loans. The other person is seen on the 7th, 12th
being loss or expenditure, the 6th indicates loss to others (12th to 7th ).
When we take a loan or get into debt, the other person loses, and we gain or
get his money. As such our money is based on his expenditure. In the changing
scenario, the 6th house is no longer totally bad. But judging the exact effects
needs more knowledge of astrology. Overindulgence, overeating, excess of
anything that contributes to excessive pleasure and stimulation always end up
in overuse of senses, sense organs, abuse of body organs, and abuse of stomach.
Stomach is the grand custody of treasure house filled all the ambitions and
self-importance. Ego always capers in the shadow form and ego eventually
diminishes.
---
The
It is the nature
of the human mind and the human ego that dwell in the circumferences of this
society to measure, to judge and to discriminate others by status, prestige and
position. Placing self-importance and creating systems of bureaucracies’
egotists help themselves to quick money and bring to themselves fame - short
term pleasure but their karma eventually brings dismal grief to themselves and
their families towards the end of their life nearing their death. Most of
materialism is associated with the two goals namely kamma and artha. When
Upachaya houses
or Houses of Growth
A word on the
Upachaya houses is not out of place here. The Upachaya houses are the houses of
growth. They are houses 3, 6, 10 and 11. These are the areas where man has more
freewill. These houses afford a chance for the so-called growth or progress
materially. In fact malefics such as Saturn or Mars are preferred here. If you
see any book of Jyotish, the results given for malefics in these houses are
better than other houses. Malefics here seem to give more growth materially
while actually taking the individual away from the path of realisation. All the
Upachaya houses are either Artha ( wealth ) or
Prarabdha
(resultant karma from collective previous aggregate karma) rules more strongly
in the other houses. The 2nd house which represents the family and the 7th
which represents marriage, are largely determined by karmic debts (Rrnna) and
an individual has very less freewill in these areas. We have no choice in the family
that we are born into. NOTE: Rashi charts alone cannot and should NOT be
examined or evaluated to determine the karmic astrological map. The navaamsha
chart must be closely examined as navaamsha represents the spiritual embodiment
of the karmic energy. Furthermore, it is also useful to examine the influences
of parental and children on the karmic forces. There arises a question: How
long is a piece of string? Karma is very difficult subject except that it can
be explained in vivid imperfect manner according to the VEDAS. The Vedas say
that even when a soul attains nirvana, but because of its last wish (thought)
prior to the soul living the body being attached to either longing or an
unfinished business or incompleteness, then rebirth or re-incarnation procures.
No one astrologer can determine death and birth!
Moksha houses
Houses 4th,
8th and 12th relate to Moksha. The 4th house
refers to wisdom and Vedic knowledge. The 8th house refers to life/
death, Para-normal experiences, spiritual encounters, and sudden tragedies. The
12th house refers to mysticism, spiritual growth, isolation, losses
and dissolution in karma.
The Moksha houses
are spiritual houses. These are secret or mystic houses. They are seldom
understood properly. This is the part of the book of fate that is closed to
normal human minds. Even the best astrologers understand very little of these
houses. The 4th and the 8th houses represent psychic and occult powers
/abilities, Samadhi (ability to observe and to watch in silence), nightmares.
The 12th house also signifies everything foreign-foreign countries, foreigners,
etc being watery and also because it signifies the feet. Another important
signification of the 12th house is that it is a secret house other than the
8th. Spies, detectives, people involved in any kind of `secret work' could have
a strong 12th house connection. The 12th house also signifies dissolution.
Water stands for Cosmic dissolution. So material dissolution, loss and
expenditure, or, voluntary giving away in charity/philanthropy, or at its best
the dissolution of the Individual into the Cosmic; in other words final
liberation or moksha, are all indicated by this house. While the 4th indicates
interest and study into the occult, the 8th takes us deeper into the secrets of
the Cosmic Consciousness and the 12th actually frees the individual under ideal
conditions.
In
reality any of the trio (4th, 8th, or 12th)
are mystic houses; especially the 8th and 12th give experiences which are
unusual, or spiritual. The exact nature of the experience, whether it is truly
spiritual or belonging to a lower or higher level of illusion (‘maya’), is
decided based on the planets and other houses involved. To understand
one's spiritual experiences, an analysis of 4, 8, 12 houses and signs becomes
important. In fact any strong links between the houses of Dharma and Moksha
bodes well for spiritual inclinations and progress.
All aspects from planets to the
houses 4th, 8th and 12th are considered in
proportion to their influencing strengths. We loose plenty to gain a little in
the spiritual world. All the materialism seems like shackles when we free
ourselves from the burdens of book knowledge and free ourselves onwards to the
soul divine. The freedom of the divinity and the happiness of giving that
divinity in wisdom and knowledge is such a noble patent because we have given
ourselves wholly towards the meaning of human life – that which is moksha
(release from the burdens of the cycles of karma). Keep me away from the wisdom
which does not cry, the philosophy which does not laugh and the greatness which
does not bow before the innocence of children. The voyager having wondered from
one place to another place, knocks at very alien door to come to his/her own
and one has to wonder and adventure and experience life just as rivers do.
Having wondered through all the outer worlds and places and circumstances and
conditions, one finally reaches the shrine of his/her inner most sacredness at
the end. Melting into tears of a thousand streams, and deluge the world with
flood of assurance, alas, ‘hamnssa’ closes his eyes to bid farewell sweet
departure from earth.
Moksha houses-
Karma
“The song that I
came to sing yet remains un-sung; my karma albeit spending my days in stringing
and in unstringing my instrument, remains unaccomplished. Life oh life, let it
be, let it what it may be; face it, accept it, grit it, but grin at it and
shrug it away in time to take a flight of delight, let my departure be sweet,
let me now go in peace!”
Karma literally
means "deed" or "act" and more broadly names the universal
principle of cause and effect, action and reaction which governs all life.
Karma is a natural law of the cause and the consciousness, just as gravity is a
law of matter.
What
is the purpose of human life? Life brought with it myriad experiences,
including the inevitable experience of suffering too. Why do we suffer? Why are
we born? Such questions plagued my mind for a long time.
The sacred books
and the wise men gave me a glimpse of the theory of karma and transmigration of
the soul. It seemed very logical, yet I doubted it especially during the dark
nights of the soul, that are common to most spiritual aspirants in the early
phases. Then I started studying Jyotish or Hindu Astrology. But it took me
years of hard work, some experience and sincere thinking to be convinced. When
I started seeing the patterns in the horoscope manifesting in actual life, I
had to accept the theory of Karma. Slowly it was no more a belief, but a fact.
Karma means not only action, but also the result of an action. Whatever we are
going through at the moment is the result of previous actions, not just of this
life, but many lives. In short Karma is the sum total of our actions both in
this life and in the preceding ones.
Nothing
happens by accident or chance actions. Everything happens in regular order, the
past, present and the future being interconnected and interdependent. Cause is
effect concealed, and effect is ‘cause’ revealed! It is the physical body that
dies. The astral body (sukshma or lingam sarira) and causal body (karana
sarira) continue forth. The causal body has all your Karmas stored in it as
seeds, seeds that result in rebirth. As long as man has not exhausted all his
Karmas, he has to be born again. All our actions and thoughts become the seeds
for our future lives. Karma is at the root of this cycle of births and deaths.
Again and again Karma makes us take birth. Countless times have we been born
and countless times have we died. Very many wombs have we passed through.
RUNANUBANDHANA
– the linkage of karmic bondage and reason for cause.
In
each life, we have mother, father, brothers, sisters, spouse, children and so
on. We are born in a family as a result of un-discharged debts of past lives.
Constantly we are creating accounts, debiting and crediting. We are creating
Karmic debts with all those with whom we interact. The Karmic debts (rna) lead
to bondage or attachment (bandhana). These Karmic attachments pull us into the
wheel of existence again and again. runanubandhana (the bond that results from
Karma debts) is at the root of repeated lives.
Karma
leads to rna and rna leads to Karma. It works both ways. If you have given
something to somebody in some life, the memory is stored in your casual body.
That person will be your debtor in this birth. If you have taken in the past,
it will be taken from you in some birth. The causal body stores the memory of
all of one's runanubandhanas of countless births. Till all the karma stored in
the causal body is burnt away or exhausted, there is no liberation from
rebirth. Human life is nothing but a memory of runanubandhana, the story of the
countless karmas that we make, and live through. Every relationship reflects
some runanubandhana.
The
people with whom we have very strong Ruanubandhana become our parents, spouse,
children and Coburn’s in this life. The memory of Karmic debts may be sweet or
bitter. Sweet memories of karmic debts lead to a `happy' relationship and
bitter memories to an `unhappy' relationship. In reality most of the karmic
debts are mixed, a mixture of sweet and bitter memories. That is why most
relationships are of a mixed nature.
Two
people can be mutually attracted to one another only if there was some
relationship between them in some previous life. When you meet a person to whom
you were related in a previous life, the stored memories or the runanubandhana
stir up your emotions and you may start “feeling” for the person. In fact sex
itself has rnanubandhana at its roots. In countless lives, we would have had
bondage with many people. Every longstanding relationship leads to certain deep
impressions.
Any
act when done repeatedly can become a habit. Every habit leaves an impression.
These impressions are the samskaras, which drive us to act again.
That
is why we get attracted many times in similar mannerisms. But if we have no
more debt (rna) with the other person, it just remains as a fleeting thought,
as an impulse only. But if the runanubandhana is still there, the attraction
results in a relationship. Sometimes even if the karmic debt is discharged,
still the samskaras (impressions of past acts) drive us to meet. We eventually
end up creating a fresh account, a further karmic debt that is not advisable.
In
the majority of the relationships, attraction is only the samskaras and not the
actual karmic debts (runa) that operate. But if there is any un-discharged
karmic debt, it results in a relationship of karma. When the karmic accounts
are settled, once there is no more debt, the relationship breaks suddenly. But
if the runanubandhana is very strong, it results in a long-standing
relationship like marriage.
This
is the cause of every relationship, how it is born and how it ends. But nothing
is permanent. No karmic debt can be everlasting. Eventually it has to end, when
the debt is discharged, when the account is balanced.
In
this impermanent world change is the law of life. Countless wombs have we
passed through. Innumerable mothers, fathers and wives have we been with. But
when a karmic debt is over, the attachment might still be there. We still cling
on.
When
rna (debt) is over, the relationship has to end. But anu-bandhana (bondage or
attachment) might still make us cling to the person. Like the fan that turns
for a while even after the power supply has been switched off, the attachment
doesn't die for some time. Once the rna is over, nothing can sustain the
relationship. Hence any further remnants of attachment (anubandhana) are bound
to produce only suffering and misery. In some cases, one of the two people
involved grows out of the relationship once the rna (debt) is discharged. But
the other refuses to move on, due to the attachment (anubandhana). The second
person suffers tremendously because any further attachment leads to misery and
suffering only. Sometimes there is bitterness also after separation. This
bitterness can sow the seeds for future karma! When the karmic debts are over,
when a couple has to part ways, as far as possible, it should be done with the
least negative feelings. They should part in an amicable way to avoid further
seeds of new karma. Easier said than done; in reality our memories are faded
and we find it shameful to seek counsel of the aged and listen their wise
counsel. One must seek wise advice and not become stubborn. Stubborn-ness
builds anger and destruction of the physical body. Being so humble, letting go
of the hurt and realising the truth through the light of the wise counsel can
bring neutralisation of karma. Many instances of obstacles have taught me that
hardships teach us karmic lessons. Obstacles come into our lives to re-enact us
into a highly spiritual mode and re-awaken us back to our roots. Hardships,
adversities and calamities visit us to make us realise that we have to
eventually empty this body and give up the borrowed time upon which we are
struggling abreast to be alive, kicking, and wondering from places to places
until finally we die. Two persons or two souls meet together in a life because
of previous life karma or ‘RUNANUBANDHANA’.
The
karma that brings two people together into marriage can also be of many types.
I will mention a few below:
i. Bitter enemies
are born as husband and wife and always fight, criticize, deceive one another
and make their lives miserable.
ii. Two people
who have created negative karma between them come back as man and wife and lead
a life of suffering together, fighting with one another.
iii. Two people
who have created both positive and negative karma between them come back as man
and wife and have a mixed life causing both happiness and unhappiness to one
another.
iv. Two people
who have created positive karma between them in previous lives come back as man
and wife and lead a relatively happy life.
v. One who has
taken a lot in some life has to give in the present life. In such a case, one
of them will always be giving (money, love, care, etc.) and the other
receiving.
vi. Two souls who
are evolving spiritually come as husband and wife, help each other in their
evolution and benefit one another. This is the purpose of marriage.
vii. A couple who
has been husband and wife may come back as husband and wife again if their
runanubandhana is very strong. If the runanubandhana is very strong and their
destinies (lives) are so strongly interlinked, usually both die almost at the
same time. If one dies first, generally the other also dies within a few hours
or days or weeks. The souls are so strongly identified with one another that
towards the end of a successful married life, they behave as if they are one.
viii. Sometimes
(rarely) a very highly evolved being or soul, or spirit or even an avatar is
born as two people to accomplish a mission. After the accomplishment of the
mission, they merge back into one. Though very rare, such a divine couple also
takes birth in all ages. Such a high soul may be born as two separate
individuals as husband and wife, brothers, guru and disciple, etc.
The anubandha
(bond) between husband and wife is thus of many types. The patterns of karma
are myriad, exceedingly intricate and perplexing. It is very difficult to
understand because karma is an eternal mystery that defies all description. Yet
we should try to understand what little we could with the guiding `light' of
Jyotish.
Summation: KINDS
OF KARMA
i. Sanchita Karma
or Total Accumulated Karma
This is the vast
store of accumulated Karmas of all past lives (as a human being only). It may
be indirectly seen in a man in his character, his tendencies, aptitudes,
inclinations and desires.
ii. Prarabdha or
Fructifying Karma
That portion of
our Karmas allocated to us in this life is called Prarabdha. It is the fruit of
our past actions that are being reaped in this life. All of Sanchita karma will
not be experienced at one time. Only that portion which has `become ripe' for
experiencing in this life time is Prarabdha. The natal horoscope reveals
Prarabdha only.
iii. Kriyaman or
Current Karma
This is the fresh
karma that we do in this life. This is the area that man has freedom to
determine the course of action. This determines our future lives. This is where
the concept of free will comes. The horary chart reflects both the prarabdha of
past lives as well as the kriyaman of this life. In other words the prashna
(horary) chart is the latest karmic bank statement with regard to the query!
iv. Agami Karma
or Future Karma
The karma that is
coming, in other words, new actions that you contemplate as a result of your
thoughts, the way you envision the future, is Agami Karma. Today's plans when
executed could become a reality one day. Planning is Agami while execution is
Kriyaman. Thus Agami (planning) leads to Kriyaman (freshly executed actions of
the present) which becomes Sanchita (accumulated) to later surface as Prarabdha
(destiny). Sanchita karma manifests in two ways. Firstly, as Prarabdha or the
so called destiny, and secondly, as the Samskaras or tendencies.
JYOTISH OR
ASTROLOGY is a guide only and a map based on imperfections. Imperfections
therefore only render an overview insight. Insight is therefore subjective.
Astrology sheds
light on life by revealing our karmic patterns. When a soul is born into a
family, it is because of the karmic debts with the others in that family. When
everything is ideal, the situations and the persons fit into the karmic
patterns and the soul takes birth. In other words the individual karmic pattern
selected for this life has to fit in or correspond to the group (whole) karmic
patterns of the family, society, etc. This happens not just by chance, but in
accordance with the cosmic patterns.
What relation
does the horoscope have to fate and destiny? Do planets dictate our lives?
These are often asked questions. The planets do not control our lives. They
reflect the cosmic patterns. The universe works in certain natural cyclic
patterns. Both the macrocosm and microcosm operate in a similar way. The planets
revolve around the Sun. The electrons revolve around the nucleus in the atom.
`As above so below'. This is the fundamental law. A man can be born only at a
time when his individual karmic pattern (Prarabdha) matches that of the macro-cosm,
that is the planetary and stellar patterns. What is happening at a macrocosmic
level is also happening at a microcosmic level. By this cosmic law, the karmic
pattern matches with the planetary pattern. In other words the time of birth is
Prarabdha (destiny)!
By studying the
patterns created by the stellar bodies, we can infer the karmic patterns of the
individual, because they both are co-extensive. The horoscope thus reveals the
Prarabdha karma of an individual. An intelligent astrologer can analyse to a
reasonable extent, the Prarabdha with which a person is born, and based on
that, the situations in which the individual may be placed in life at different
times. The character, the tendencies, the Prakriti (Constitution), mental
make-up and the situations in life are all Prarabdha indicated by the horoscope
through the patterns revealed. Hence study of Jyotish or Hindu astrology can
shed a lot of light on the unknown aspects of life and is very illuminating.
That is why it is called the best light (Jyoti:light; Ish:Lord). Astrology is
the best light on life.
Astrology can
guide in our lives by giving hope, by correcting us and most importantly can be
a Sadhana (spiritual practice) in itself when done unselfishly. To the
spiritual person, it gives proof of karma, rebirth and the goal of life. Used
wisely astrology can guide us and help us in our spiritual ascent. Areas like
Medical astrology, Muhurta and even predictive astrology (only to some extent
when used wisely) can be of immense help in our day to day lives. That is the
purpose of astrology too.
LIMITATIONS OF ASTROLOGY
Astrology has its
limitations too. An astrologer cannot see every thing. He has access to limited
information. First only the Prarabdha is revealed through a horoscope, that too
in a veiled manner. A very good, honest astrologer has access only to the
`Patterns'. He does not `see' the story written there. He has to analyse the
patterns and infer what it could possibly mean. Often the astrologer (Jyotish)
comes to crossroads, where two or more interpretations seem equally possible.
Each could manifest in many ways. Only the general or specific trend may be
understood. But never `exactly' as it would manifest. The actual event itself
may manifest in a manner totally unanticipated by the astrologer.
Often the
astrologer may misjudge or even be working on wrong information (like wrong
birth time)! Even if the astrologer is running a favourable planetary period
(Dasha) himself and judges it correctly, he should remember that he has access
to the Prarabdha only. He is in the dark where a vital area like Kriyaman Karma
is concerned. This is the invisible area, where an individual can make or mar
his destiny. Some of the effects of Kriyaman karma manifest in the future lives
while some manifest in this life itself. An astrologer can never know exactly
about the client's spiritual merit which may be rapidly declining or
increasing. Though the predictions can often be uncannily accurate, no
astrologer can be hundred percent correct always and therefore should be humble
enough in his approach to the divine science. Nothing teaches more humility as
the true practice of astrology does. With all these limitations, an honest
astrologer can still guide us to a reasonable extent because it is supreme,
mystical and some how bringing to us lessons of value. Value means realising
the many aspects of life. Identifying those that matter towards our onwards
evolution to truth. Therefore, it is better to be wise and let reason rather
than impulses become our guiding force. Haste always makes waste. Thus, taking
time to sit in quietness to meditate over with reason and rational logic with
insight and astrological guidance can help us overcome our grief.
LESSONS
There are a few
ideas that emerge from a sincere study of the ancient texts. Prarabdha cannot
be changed by any one. This is destined to happen. No one can avert it. The
best way is to accept things as they are and surrender to the Almighty.
Prarabdha can affect the body only, not the mind. If one can cultivate sufficient
mind control, he can avoid unnecessary mental suffering. In other words
disasters happen, but mentally one can remain unaffected by adopting a
spiritual attitude.
Some people
take a wrong message from all this. They feel that doing no work, inaction will
help them. This is impossible. No human being can ever remain without karma.
Bound by Prakriti (Nature), man is forced to do karma by the three gunas
(Sattva, Rajas, Tamas). Our Prakriti will make us do karma. Karma is three
fold. First there arises a desire. Then you will think of how to get it. Then
you exert to attain it. Desire, thought and action always go together. So
thought itself is subtle karma, the seed of karma. Karma can be done through
the mind (thought), speech (words/verbal) and the body (the actual act). These
are three threads, which make the rope of karma that binds all men. Hence even
if a man is inactive and refrains from action, he may still be doing karma at a
thought level. As long as thoughts are there, karma is being done. A man may be
acting, but mentally he may not have sense of agency, in which case karma
cannot bind him. This is the essence of the Gita Sloka, `He who sees action in
inaction, and inaction in action, is a `Yogi'. Seeing, hearing, talking,
thinking, etc. are all Karmas. We are constantly performing karma through the
mind, speech and body in all the three states of dreaming, sleeping and
walking.
There can be no
state in which a man is not performing karma. Instead of running away from
action, one should diligently give up all sense of agency, the identification
with Karmas.
Can one go beyond
karma? As Swami Sivananda said, one can go beyond the results of karma.
`Attaining knowledge of Brahman or the Eternal destroys the whole lot of
Sanchita karma. It can be greatly modified by entertaining lofty, divine
thoughts, and doing virtuous actions. Agami karma can be destroyed by expiatory
rites or Prayaschitta and by removing the idea of agency through Nimitta Bhava
(attitude that one is an instrument in the hands of God) and Sakshi Bhava
(attitude that one is silent witness of the actions of the senses and the
mind)”. If you write a cheque for a hundred thousand rupees and do not sign it,
is it valid? No, because your signature is not there. Similarly if you do not put
your signature on the actions, they cannot bind you. In other words, you can
act, but do not be attached to the result. Do it without any sense of agency,
with a Nimita Bhava.
Surrendering
oneself to God, if one acts without any attachment to the results, the Karmas
do not bind him. The sense of `I', `mine' and self identification are your
signature. When you do any karma without your signature, it is not going to
bind you.
As Swami
Sivananda said, `You have no Bhoga-svatantrya (freedom to determine the result
of action) but you have Karma-Svatantrya (freedom to determine the course of
action)'. In other words, the only area where we have a choice is the present.
Irrespective of
the results, one should carry on with his duties, surrendering to the Lord. At
times we may not have freedom to determine the results, but we are totally free
to determine the course of action. By moving in the right direction according
to Dharma, one can alter the course of the future (especially future lives).
The situations that we find ourselves in are due to Prarabdha, over which we
have no control. But we have freedom as far as our reaction to the situation is
concerned.
`What you
are now at present is the result of what you thought and did in the past. What
you shall be in the future will be the result of what you think and do now'.
Hence, destiny is your doing. You have built it. Only you can undo it. If your
actions of hundred lives have resulted in an adverse condition, you can still
undo it. But it requires a hundred times more effort to balance the actions of
previous lives. Yet, if you want to change your life you always have the
freedom to determine the course of action, if not the results.
How does karma
actualize? The Karmas are stored in the causal body. When the cosmic planetary
patterns change, when the time is ripe, the karmas ripen to fruition; the seeds
of karma in the causal body sprout and project into the astral body where they
influence the mind. The thoughts energize the physical body, thus, to act in a
manner that is in accordance with the karmic patterns. Thus any undesirable
seed of karma spotted in the horoscope can be prevented from actualizing itself
at the mind level if one exercises enough control, since the body translates
the thoughts into actions. But this is often very difficult. One who gains
total control over emotions like anger, lust, greed etc is indeed a Yogi.
Intensity of
karma
Here a very
important point has to be kept in mind. Karma can be classified into three
types based on intensity.
a. Dridha (Fixed
or Strong) Karma
b. Adridha (Not
Strong/Non Fixed) Karma
c. Dridha -
Adridha (Strong/Not Strong or Not Too Strong) Karma
As the name
suggests the Dridha Karmas are very difficult or almost impossible to be
changed. Adridha karmas can be easily altered while Dridha - Adridha can be
altered through concentrated efforts. Generally Upayes or Pariharas (spiritual
remedies) are effective in the 2nd and 3rd types. But to change very strong
(Dridha) karma, is very difficult, practically almost impossible. Either we
encounter obstacles even in implementing the remedies or a life long attempting
of the remedies is required!
Change can only
occur when the Agami and Kriyaman Karmas neutralise the Prarabdha. Hence, the
quality and quantity of effort required to alter destiny (Prarabdha) depends on
how strong our previous karmas were. But what we have done can be undone
nevertheless.
When an
astrologer sees a confluence of factors, he predicts confidently for he knows
that he is looking at Dridha Karma or Fixed Karma. Apart from Purushartha (Self
efforts) there is another very important concept that the scriptures offer -
Kripa or Divine Grace. Divine intervention or Grace can always do what human
efforts fail to achieve.
Thus there are
three factors, which influence the outcome of Prarabdha.
Muhurtha:
Choosing favourable time in accordance with the planetary patterns can augment
or maximise the effectiveness of human efforts.
Agami &
Kriyaman Karma: The thoughts and presents efforts can be initiated in the right
direction sincerely. A strong current of favourable thoughts combined with
sincere efforts can go a long way. Part of this, is seeking spiritual remedies
(Upayes or Pariharas) that astrology can offer.
Kripa or Divine
Grace: Divine Grace can intervene and change things. The spiritual remedies are
partly aimed at drawing divine grace that is why of all remedies, the most
effective, reliable and simple ones are Mantras and Prayers. Mantras, prayers
and danam or charity (which is nothing but Selfless Karma) are prescribed by
the great sage PARASHARA.
WHERE TO PLACE ASTROLOGY
In the house of
Ignorance, there is no mirror in which to view one’s soul divine. Happiness is
a myth that we consciously seek but its occurrence is a sheer miracle just like
the dawn and the dusk whereat the sun kisses the entire existence in enchanting
beauty unparalled.
From the above
points, it becomes clear how a wise person takes astrology. There are two ways:
To seek
astrological guidance, but not to be totally dependent on it. The astrologer
has many limitations.
No astrologer has
the final say in any matter.
Thinking,
pondering, and planning intelligently remembering the astrologer's advice as a
guide and as an insight only. Any Pariharas (remedies) suggested by the
astrologer can be adopted as long as they are spiritually oriented and do not
involve unnecessary expenditure. Such remedies (as per PARASHARA, the father of
Indian astrology) are prayers and chanting of remedial Mantras. Other remedies
which involve huge tantric costs are not reliable and are mostly suggested by
dishonest commercial astrologers. Furthermore, one must acknowledge one’s
destiny and accept one’s Prarabdha and do one’s duties cheerfully. No one can
alter destiny. Even Yogis can help one only to postpone it, not avert it! But
there is one area where we have total freedom. That is our current karma
(Kriyaman).We can determine the course of our present action. We can bring in
an anti-current of thoughts, a current of noble, spiritual thoughts, thoughts
guided by Dharma. It is never too late to change the course of action. In the
Kriyaman area, let us do good deeds. Let Dharma guide us all. Some times there
may be a conflict between free will (Kriyaman) and destiny (Prarabdha). Let us
not despair. However powerful Prarabdha is.
Let
us do our duties cheerfully without any attachment to the fruits of our
actions. Surrender ourselves to God and doing our duties with a Nimitta Bhava
(sweetness and humbleness that can melt any stubborn person). Great Yogis like
Bhisma and Vasishta have placed Purushartha or exertion (free will) above
destiny. Let us not underestimate the role of Kriyaman Karma, your free will to
change the course of action. The advanced people do not need astrology. They accept
Prarabdha as God's Will. But the ignorant person develops pathological
dependence on astrology, starts despairing, lapses into inaction or makes
half-hearted attempts.
It is
for this reason that Vedantic thinkers and saints like Swami Vivekananda and
Dayananda Saraswati were opposed to astrology. But saints like Sri Rama Krishna
who was Swami Vivekananda's guru, spoke positively about Vedic astrology
because every realised soul knows it. It all depends on how we take it. The
devotee (Bhakta) sees only Prarabdha. The Vedantic (Gnani) wise person sees
only Purushartha. Both are correct for these are two sides of the same coin.
The Bhaktha (Devotee) feels it is all Prarabdha only. Yet there is no fatalism
in this. Prarabdha is only Purusharta (efforts born of free will) of previous
births. Purushartha combined with Prarabdha brings effects. A man who is sick
has to take the medicine (Purushartha) and leave the results to Prarabdha.
Through Purushartha, Markandeya conquered death.
Vasishta
advocates Purushartha to Sri Rama throughout the Yoga Vasishta. We are neither
totally bound by destiny nor are we totally free. We have limited freedom like
a cow that has been tied to a post in a field with a rope. It can move freely,
but only within the limits of the field. We have limited freedom depending upon
how much we can stretch our Karma. Human life is a story of the alternating
patterns of duality, of happiness and suffering, joy and misery, ups and downs.
There is not a single life without this admixture, without this pair of
opposites. This is the law of life. Though the Atman is identical to the
Brahman who is ever-radiant and blissful, the Jiva (individual) suffers because
he is entrapped by the limiting adjuncts (Upadhis) of body and mind. The
infinite seems to be entrapped by the finite body and mind. Misery is not
natural to the Jiva. It comes to experience a state of misery because of its
association with a body.
a. So the cause
of misery is a body
b. The body
(birth) is due to karma (previous actions)
c. Karma arises
from attachment and hate, by preference to certain objects and aversion to
some.
d. Attachment and
hate arise from Egoism (sense of `I' and `Mine')
e. This Egoism
comes from indiscrimination.
f.
Indiscrimination, from ignorance of your true nature, that you are one with the
Brahman
Thus, the root
cause of all suffering and Karma is ignorance. The only way to go beyond this
is to bring the light of knowledge. The first step in this direction is to
change one's attitude, to retrace one's steps along the same path that we have
come down. In other words, the only solution is to go back to our cosmic roots,
to become one with the Cosmic Consciousness. That is liberation that is moksha,
salvation, whatever you call it. We are born so that we can exhaust our karmic
debts, so that we may be free. This is the only answer, the only purpose of
life. Jyotish is the light that reveals this great truth to us so that we may
be free. A sincere study of Jyotish can be a great spiritual education; a
Sadhana in itself, for it partly reveals the eternal mysteries of the cosmos to
us. It leads us to the unknown through the known. It guides us out through the
intricate labyrinth that life is, with its myriad pairs of duality. It shows us
the way and ultimately sets us free, by taking us back to our cosmic roots.
Not everyone is enabled to see
through the inner vision, the insight, and the spiritual eyes. Gifted by the
boon of higher order the secret mystic divine vision is sacred!
Conclusion:
Everything
that we see today, in the present time is made by past generations, was before
its appearance a thought in the mind of a humankind and in intuition of
impulsive emotion in a woman’s heart. Lo!
Our soul is our
divine home, our eyes its windows and our spoken words its messengers. We are
the master of our spoken words but we become the slaves of our spoken words as
they let out our internal energies.
Vedic
Astrology, palmistry, numerology, and mystical tarot only give us insight. We
are greater in spirit to alter the course of our fate as our appearances and
words and actions carry enormous karmic consequences. What we need is reason to
understand our place in time and to evolve towards light of lights in delight.
The good in us ought to flow freely like rivers. Humanity is the spirit of
cosmic Godhead on earth and compassion its spiritual essence. Between the
spiritual world and the world of substance there is a path upon which we walk
in a swoon of slumber almost. Humankind possesses destiny which impels
thoughts, and actions and words and that not sufficing directs the footsteps to
a place of unwilling abode.
Beauty is my religion, beauty is all
that matters. If I see and envision beauty and believe in beauty of God deep in
my soul divine, perhaps I shall create hope for myself and in turn grant a
light of hope to the future generation children.
Will human remain a slave of
self-confinement until the end of the world or will human be freed by the
passing of time and live in the spirit for the spirit? If one would only resolve
to God and be not therefore the solver of all riddles and all puzzles, perhaps
all this, that and the other will appear a childlike joy! Everything in
creation exists within us and everything within us exists in the creation.
Nature (prakrutti) reaches out to us with welcoming arms. Let us sacrifice
ourselves and become that self-same light of spirit to live in the spirit of
all love, all humanity, all compassion and all divine grace! Through our soul
divine, let music never cease to play for the song of love. Let us soar into
the spacious firmament of love and freedom with the wings of our spirits. Let
us yearn for eternal peace in the hereafter. Let us take a flight of delight
into the unknown! Let our departure be sweet from the earthen clays to leave behind
sweet memories and light of hope for the future generation children. Life is
weaker than death, and death is weaker than love.
