Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Hello Das We all have the sadness in us and share others pain. I would like you to reflect on your wonderful contribution to Jyotish by your beautiful software, that has inspired a novice like me to study Jyotish more seriously. You may not realize, but your work keep on inspiring thousands around the world on the Magic of Jyotish. I know that this does not help with what you are going through, but it was all part of the divine plan. I found this beautiful prayer – hope it touch’s all, like it touched me. May the light of Jupiter shine brightly on all of us. All the Best Bipin ================================ A BEAUTIFUL PRAYER ================================ I asked God to take away my habit. God said, No. It is not for me to take away, but for you to give it up. I asked God to make my handicapped child whole. God said, No. His spirit is whole, his body is only temporary I asked God to grant me patience. God said, No. Patience is a by-product of tribulations; it isn't granted, it is learned. I asked God to give me happiness. God said, No. I give you blessings; Happiness is up to you. I asked God to spare me pain. God said, No. Suffering draws you apart from worldly cares and brings you closer to me. I asked God to make my spirit grow. God said, No. You must grow on your own! ,but I will prune you to make you fruitful. I asked God for all things that I might enjoy life. God said, No. I will give you life, so that you may enjoy all things. I ask God to help me LOVE others, as much as He loves me. God said...Ahhhh, finally you have the idea.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Dear Das and Bipin: I would like to add to these comments, I needed help and I got it through asking on this email list (GJ List). Because you have created this list I've received a great amount of much needed help. (I wrote to the list Re: "To Be or Not To Be"). The software you created has helped me a lot and I have read a lot of your writings included with the software and on your website and been inspired. I definitely have the impression "you have a mission in life" (to propagate Hindu Astrology, at least). There is no doubt in my mind that you have a lot to offer as the gifted being you are. I can relate to your analogy about being stuck on the hands of the big clock. I would like to think I have more control and not waiting (hoping) for a better transit to occur. I am not a totally "white person" and I am actually part Crow and Cherokee. I feel like I am a nature person too. It just happened that I noticed Lord Ganesha one day and the intent of my pursuit of the Hindu God(s) is one for purity. I feel this is because of reincarnation, I was a Hindu so I can accept this as a path. Pain and suffering can't leave a mark. This is a real challenge to be "unmarked" by all this suffering.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Bipin and my loves everywhere, When my friend Verkingetorix sent his wife and the wives of 80,000 Celtic warriors out of the Fort at Alesia France, so that the warriors might live on the diminished rations, when he fought Caesar though starving, when the Celtic tribes threw themselves upon Roman spears, when the Druids at Anglesey put up their arms into the air whilst being thrust by swords in their bellies, in all these times of sorrowful death, the energy and heart of the Celtic warrior was there in them, and their souls floated into the air to be reborn again in the future. I have crossed a line in life, it is the "no looking back". I may cry, I may lament, and even make it public. But believe me, a tenacity and courage has come, a strenght and resolve, and an uncaring, detachment, a strength. It is the "warriors line". Once you cross it, you don't go back. I will not be party to material attachment or lamentation. Not for real. I will not stand by and watch souls, which are of high matter, be under lower matter. Sure, I want woman, I want affection, but it must come without me bowing to Caesar. Verki and his troops made a sacrifice. They could have just given in and lived, so to speak, and accepted the Roman way without a fight. But the truth is, the Roman way, which is in all of us, and it is called lust, greed and laziness, must be fought. It is anti spiritual. I have a tenacity, a strength, and I pray I never forget it. Like my many brothers and sisters before, somehow I would rather die than surrender. We cannot help each other, this is true, but it is good. It ensures that we individually become very strong. Being the big savior is part of the wrong idea. I am not it, and I don't need it. I am doomed in some ways, to hold this spirit. It is not "fun" and it is not "relaxing", but it suits me, and I accept it. I stand on the side of the city and scream for what was, what should be, for nature, for animals, for spirits, and the ancient gone ways which were more true. I fight the TV and the ways of the straight paved road. I am the warrior on the hill, the painted warrior ready to fight to the death. It is not easy, but at least I can love myself. And yes, I know, many others do too. I get much love. But there is much reason to cry. My village is gone. My language is gone. My people are gone. I have no family, except one is awakened. Nobody understands me hardly. People look at me funny. I am from another time. It is hard to stand tall. Like the American Indians, I am thought of as some archaeic toss away. But I must stand tall. There are ties between Hindus and me, but it is not one. We are not one, but very similar, and so also with American Indians, and other "aborigenies". I cannot live in the usual humdrum that was my life, that is normal in America. We can plan to undo these stupid cities which cannot live and change back to villages and farms. We can plan to save our planet and selves. We can give up much, which we have created in our long ignorance. The pain of the delusion of modern materialism is worse than the quiet of the lasting truth. I am going to my death, as are we all. Shall we go in lies or truth? What is important to us as we die? I am happy, and I am sad, but the happiness is firmer, more real, and when I ask myself what is real, it is the happiness, not the sadness. I cry, but it only brings me back to hapiness. I love my brothers and sisters, thank you for encouraging me, roik mach'ai yes, the prayer was true, our lives are not for asking God to be Payless Supermarket, for already everything is made by him and her perfectly for making us beautiful.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Merlin is a perhaps true, perhaps not true being, but who stands for the archetypical Druid, yes. So his life is myth, but perhaps he really lived in some way. His mythical life is used for the Celts, Angles and Saxxons to work out their early interractions in England. He stands for the romanticized Druid. I am talking always of the utterly real thing, not the Romantic thing. There is much literature, such as all on "King Arthur" which is "Romantic Celtic Literature", like "all American Indians are Handsome Braves or Beautiful Squaws". So there's always the romantic, and the real. thanks for asking roik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Das, I think Merlin is real because my own epoch is caught up with so many clues about where to find him. Several dreams have pointed to the "guidance of a wizard". Once I was about to get caught up in some crazy scene(in and out of a dream) and a police car pulled up with lights flashing and the name Merlin on the door, it sent the perps running. I know about Merlin from the stories of King Arthur but my unusual experiences began when I was given a copy of Deepak Chopra's book 'The Return Of Merlin'. I cried because I am pretty sure something really bad did happen to everyone, of course Deepak Chopra comments that it is only fantasy. There is quite a bit in the book about the "Crow Mind" and how it can get used for good or evil. I had a lot of strange experiences with crows and I can't think about them (or anything else) the same after reading the book. In the article section on Dr. David Frawley's website there is one about 'A Wolf in Sheeps Clothing", describing how a converted St. Patrick "tricked" the pagan families into initiating the children to Christianity and went about destroying the pagan culture and rituals. This theme probably repeats in many ways when someone has the power and position to make changes that they would like to make. Is it possible that not all Druids used their knowledge for good? Of course not all followers of Jesus Christ are up to the challenge.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2003 Report Share Posted August 3, 2003 Dear Mr. Das, I have gone through the rectification part of your Vedic Astrology software. How, it w'd be if pre-natal epoch theory is added to that.
