Knowing Knowledge

Knowledge that refines and makes us wise is spread wide across the Universe. Astrologically, it is held by Jupiter. Though elusive in kaliyuga, it can be acquired with an extra effort. Knowledge churns ideas that enrich life. It enhances the degree of intelligence. It makes life meaningful. It spiritually enlightens. It leads to the truth. Moksha (salvation) requires the ultimate truth. Awareness simply comes by looking around, from TV or from the net. Astrologically, it is different from knowledge. Gyan (knowledge) is obtained from beyond awareness. Your level of knowledge grades you. It dictates your karmas. Knowledge once given cannot be taken back. One can’t lose knowledge. Knowledge creates a purpose for life itself for when you have knowledge; others light their candles in it. Sharing helps us grow. Blessed are those who get to know where it lies; for, believe it or not, you carry your knowledge and your karmas with you after your death also. They manifest in you, in a subtle form in the next life.

Can Astrology Find Where Happiness Is Lying?

Of course it can! It can bring an end to your hunt for contentment. All you need to do is to understand Venus deeper.

The Fascinating Venus
A sensuous planet that ignites sensuality. A germ found on the tip of cupid’s arrow that is difficult to duck. A significator of beauty, art, love and woman. These are few among a host of descriptions of the fascinating Venus in poetry and literature of perhaps every language. Venus in Greek and Roman literature is a goddess, principally associated with love, beauty, sex, fertility, prosperity and military victory.

Is the Gun toting Mars playing Gods role?

It seems so, as Mars in horoscopes has been found channeling the crucial energy that prompts all actions of consequence –good or bad. It is perhaps the spark in your eyes and the thunder and lightning in the sky. Additionally, since Mars impacts with a jolt and is the lord of the eighth house of changes of the natural zodiac, it plays an active role in bringing about changes and reforms that pinch. It is found more emphatic than other planets in reiterating the fact that it is the law of karma that drives us to predestined events. Having governance over the energy source that provides the momentum, Mars impels you to act negatively when it has to punish you for an evil karma and positively for a bravery award lying stored in your destiny. In a good position, Mars has been found making one competent as a protector and provider of justice (committed army men or policemen) and when ill-placed it is found driving one to crimes.

Can Mercury Reveal The Thickness Of Your Skin?

Are you aware who is inside you, knocking, questioning and irritating? Astrologically it is Mercury. You tend to reconcile to such tickling of your nerves, ascribing it to your own stress. But it is Mercury, being the significator of skin and nerves in astrology that causes itching both on the surface and inside. It is to be interpreted as governing that faculty of the mind that reasons and rationalizes. This faculty controls the power of discrimination in us. Our conscience is also attached to it.

With this astrological hypothesis, we take you on a long journey starting with the creation of the Moon billions of years ago. This bright object, with waning and waxing phases, has fascinated all, perhaps every living creature from ancient times. Humankind could visit it only now- 42 years ago, after billions of years of evaluation from the earth. It was described by the first visitors as a desert land with nothing to greet them. The discovery of ice on the Moon by an Indian mission long after, last year, was termed as the biggest discovery of the century.

If you were all Sun, you would have been a pure-atma. Perhaps you were not meant to be so.

Is all that is happening willed by God? Even minor shifts and changes, the thoughts that come to our mind, and the promptings that make us act? Do we have in-built governors that control us in accordance with God’s scheme? The answers to these questions that mankind perennially seeks, if they ever reach man, will perhaps be through an understanding of the Sun and the planets orbiting it.

The march towards gains and success, seen mainly from the 11^th house of a horoscope, seems inexorable. Not wary of the junctions ahead and the final dead end, the kaliyuga urbanite keeps toiling for the futile. He ignores the fact that the growth and success can be healthy only with balance.  The cruel fact is that, though we see disasters happening, we do not follow the path shown by junctions and signals. In our quest of gains and success, we do not factor in our efforts and switch off the moral compass. So we end up gaining and succeeding by compromising our health and morality.

Thoughts in your mind are of small consequence but what you do matters! Your deeds build your image and destroy it too. Opinions about you that people carry are formed from the deeds they know. It is the image alone that matters in kaliyuga. The stock market zooms and crashes on goodwill and reputations. Some people, in spite of base acts and unacceptable deeds, get away without their image getting tarnished, but some get a bad name and are humiliated even when they deserve much better. Why?

It was an earthquake that brought a turnaround for the man who was born with a mission.  The mission was noble and destiny perhaps was giving a helping hand- creating opportunities, showing the path. The man in this case was Dr.S.K.Joshi, at present Additional Medical Superintendent and Reader/Head of the Department of Ayurvedic Surgery in the Government Ayurvedic College and Hospital in the old and renowned Ayurvedic institution of Gurukul Kangri, Haridwar.  He has served here for nearly two decades, established himself in his limited orbit as the man who works miracles. He does not wish to extend his orbit as he has no desire for money or publicity. He has cured many incurable diseases, not by surgery, but simply by the touch of his hand.

Big bangs and explosions often accompany change. In astrology we see them from the 8^th house. Birth and death are dramatic events in an individual’s eternal life. They cannot be experienced and recalled except perhaps through past life regression methods which in any case give only faded reflections. Nevertheless, we have enough evidence to believe in reincarnation. To a Vedic astrologer this evidence is easier to relate to with time and maturity. Thus, astrology can also be defined as a science delivering subtle messages of eternal truth. All you need to do is to remain in touch.  And the messages will keep coming!
