Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Dear respected and generous-minded Das, I think people responded to your pain to let you know they empathize with you and wish you to not feel alone in being alone. However that wasn't what you were looking for! You'd like to hear about others doing well and have your spirits lifted by this good news. The thought that others are doing well would indicate the hope that you, too, can be living your life in the same joyousness they have. It's a lot like the half-full glass of water....if one says it's half-empty, the psychologist says the person's got a gloomy outlook! Not I! I counter that assumption by saying that the glass is half empty and thus there's work to do to make it full, rather than settling back for less than a full glass of water. Maybe "half-empty" indicates a drive to do better, not a pessimist but one who'd like to have the world a better place because of what gets done about things that need doing. You are like that yourself. You created your Goravani Jyotish program out of a need to fill the glass that wasn't filled the way it should be. You have continued to modify it and add features to it to serve the larger world out there, even as you sit next to your madras sheets in apparent aloneness, thinking of the many who have been benefited by your hard work to bring new understanding of vedic astrology and ways to gain and test theories regarding it, and to join in on the wave of enlightenment that now comes out of the formerly sleeping India to benefit the whole world in centuries to come. You are an innovator and yet part of a huge wave during Kali Yuga--the wave that we will ride to get us through Kali Yuga's dark moments, so we can understand the unity of all things under God, and bring us closer to accepting our own divinity. I work alone in my office at work, yet what I do affects the work of everyone in my company and our work affects the people who are served by our company--it runs into thousands and thousands of people... The same for you in your work; you work alone and your work affects thousands and thousands of people... are you not blessed to be able to do this? Is it not a higher calling to be able to make computations easier for so many earnest astrologers? It is! You know that when you wish to, you can go to a spiritual gathering and soak up some of the compassionate atmosphere as a renewal of spirit. You know that when you wish to, you can find a retreat place and pray again as you've done many times before. You know that when you wish to, you will open up to another person more than you've done lately. You may also know that when a person suffers the loss of a parent, there is no easy way to lessen the hurt of this day other than to pray for that departed parent as well as for oneself, and to do this any time, to let that departed soul hear and feel and be uplifted by your love. An empty glass can be filled with pure water. Your work and your life is the empty glass. Bring beauty to earth, then go out and see the beauty of the earth. I have struggles with raising my children yet my husband is loyal and loving. I have legal tangles to unravel that go back to 1999, but my younger brother went on the Internet and located my stepmother and stepbrother after 30 years' time of not knowing where they went to. It's a mix of different things at the same time and a poignant reminder of the fact there is day and night and rain and sunshine. Being solitary is great if you're a Scorpio but since you're an Aries, you need to be the solitary pioneer at the top of the ocean of people, and if you can do this as a fearless hardworking intrepid leader, you have our hats off to you, our thanks for your kindness, our admiration for the audacious manner in which you've changed the course of our lives for better understanding and for some, a new appreciation of the great culture and religious tradition of India....does that help you fulfill your destiny, does it fill your glass...If so, then carry on, Das, we are cheering for you---loudly! Furthermore, I would like to invite you and all list members to a winter Internet picnic, if you don't mind that it's cool here in the Washington DC area, the trees are showing their buds but no leaves until spring arrives, the snapdragons have stayed green-leafed and scraggly all winter, the grass is a wintery green from the rain we had...but it looks to be a mild winter and it's time to pick up our spirits and renew our friendships...so I think I'll bake up some cookies now, and Das, you're invited to our picnic on the Web, everyone is invited, it's really time...and guess what, these chocolate chip cookies are as big as your hand, but they're only made like this once every 2 years because it's a lot of butter and chocolate and sugar and vanilla... Love to our Das, Carol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Dear Dasji I'm happily married,financially secure, in good health and have friends . I guess I miss out on the oppotunity to post my chart on the many jyotish lists in cyberland : - ) Everyone has problems and neither Jesus nor Budha nor Krishna advised their followers to sit back and relax and enjoy the good things of this world . However we can adjust our consciousness and not become preoccupied with the trials and tribulations . It helps to have a good laugh no matter how serious the problem .So for those non -English rs out there a little confused about the cultural differences between the big 4 of the English speaking world here is an attempt to explain them . Cultural Differences Explained ============================= Aussies: Dislike being mistaken for Pommies (Brits) when abroad. Canadians: Are rather indignant about being mistaken for Americans when abroad. Americans: Encourage being mistaken for Canadians when abroad. Brits: Can't possibly be mistaken for anyone else when abroad. ------------------------------- Aussies: Believe you should look out for your mates. Brits: Believe that you should look out for those people who belong to your club. Americans: Believe that people should look out for & take care of themselves. Canadians: Believe that that's the government's job. -------------------------------- Aussies: Are extremely patriotic to their beer. Americans: Are flag-waving, anthem-singing, and obsessively patriotic to the point of blindness. Canadians: Can't agree on the words to their anthem, when they can be bothered to sing them. Brits: Do not sing at all but prefer a large brass band to perform the anthem. -------------------------------- Americans: Spend most of their lives glued to the idiot box. Canadians: Don't, but only because they can't get more American channels. Brits: Pay a tax just so they can watch four channels. Aussies: Export all their crappy programs, which no-one there watches, to Britain, where everybody loves them. -------------------------------- Americans: Will jabber on incessantly about football, baseball, and basketball. Brits: Will jabber on incessantly about cricket, soccer, and rugby. Canadians: Will jabber on incessantly about hockey, hockey, hockey, hockey, and how they beat the Americans twice, playing baseball. Aussies: Will jabber on incessantly about how they beat the Poms in every sport they play them in. -------------------------------- Americans: Spell words differently, but still call it "English". Brits: Pronounce their words differently, but still call it "English". Canadians: Spell like the Brits, pronounce like Americans. Aussies: Add "G'day", "mate" and a heavy accent to everything they say . -------------------------------- Brits: Shop at home and have goods imported because they live on an island. Aussies: Shop at home and have goods imported because they live on an island. Americans: Cross the southern border for cheap shopping, gas, & liquor in a backwards country. Canadians: Cross the southern border for cheap shopping, gas, & liquor in a backwards country. -------------------------------- .. -------------------------------- Americans: Seem to think that poverty & failure are morally suspect. Canadians: Seem to believe that wealth and success are morally suspect. Brits: Seem to believe that wealth, poverty, success and failure are inherited things. Aussies: Seem to think that none of this matters after several beers. Nicholas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2002 Report Share Posted January 27, 2002 Dear Das, Remember the laws of attraction? Seriously, I am a happy woman who is graced with the ability to make a living as an astrologer. I have a sweet relationship of 6 1/2 years, good health and an open heart. I will share with you words that made a huge impact on my life some years ago. "you are just one thought away from good mental health at any time." Once I realized that my darkest thoughts were just that, thought forms, it allowed me to open my heart and allow others in. If you don't mind, Das, what is your Moon's nakshatra? cynthia - Das Goravani <> <gjlist> Sunday, January 27, 2002 4:59 PM [GJ] Only the lonely... > > > Hey everyone, > > So far, only other lonely people have responded to me privately. > > Does anybody have a fulfilling and rewarding life of friends and marriage? > > My pain was met with more.
