[Guest guest]

OHM SHRI RAGAVENDRAYA NAMAH

JAYA JAGANNATHA

 

Namaste Mohan,

 

Please, never understate or underestimate your capabilities. You have

tremendous potential in you. There is nothing immature and nothing

about wasting our time. Regarding Triguna, we will see more in lesson

3.

 

Thanks

All are very nice and highly advanced answers. In fact we should not

call as answers, they are all fine thoughts of your inner soul.

Though, the presentation of all these answers are different, there is

a fine thread of homogeneity runs through them and makes all put

together as a Garland to Lord Jagannatha.

>

> Here are the comments on your answers for lesson 2. In fact I

should not evaluate this. It has to be done by yourself after a gap

of few months. However, I will not go deep into the evaluation and

wherever guidance is required I will comment. Keep these question in

mind and whenever your answers for them changes, write to the list.

Some of my comments are meant to provoke further thoughts and not to

be taken as criticism.

>

> What is the reason for asking these questions? In what way it is

related to Jyotish? Understanding of God and relationship with him is

my personal matter, why should I discuss in the list? These are the

question some of us might have asked before start replying.

>

> The answer is: Jyotish is a divine science, without the spiritual

assistance, we cannot excel in the field. Spirituality is required in

Jyotish for several reasons. I will mention 3 important ones. 1.

Foresee the future: Though, we acquire all the knowledge in Jyotish,

the power or vision of predicting the future events is possible only

with the help of divine hand from God. 2. Decision making: Most of

the time, people approach Jyotish to help them in choosing the right

decision. Any mistake we, Jyotish, do will cause immense suffering to

the native. All such pava or sin will come on the Jyotish shoulder.

So, we have to ask the God's assistance to shield us from such

mistakes, all the time. 3.Pride: When our predictions are accurate,

Pride will take control of our mind. That Pride will cause

destruction in our personal and Jyotish life. So, we should have

stable & unbiased mind and we must be reminded of the supremacy of

God at all the time. I have seen in my life Jyotishas with pride

only, except Shri AM Rajagopalan and our Gurudeva Shri Pt.Sanjay rath.

>

> The idea of this lesson and questions is to kindle our mind and

prepare it for the spiritual advancement. The spiritual process must

grow along side our Jyotish learning. It is basic and continuous. So

that when we reach certain level of theoretical knowledge in Jyotish,

we are also ready in spiritual plane.

>

> Only a very few had attempted the 5th question. Yet, I am not

happy about silence of other members. I hope they all will share

their thought with us after reading this evaluation. I do not know

if every body will read all the individual comments given below. But,

at least read my answer to 41. Govinda Rao.

>

>

> 1. Frank in Austin:- Gurudeva has already commented.

>

> 2. Bimal Kurl :- Answer 2 is not sufficient. Answer 1 needs more

thought.

>

>

> 3. Shailesh:- Very good answers. You will definitely see the

developments in your answer after a while.

>

> 4. Gopal Krishan Doda:- Excellent. We are talking about the true

Jyotish, who is spiritual in all respect. The idea of this lesson and

questions is to mould and take us to that level on spiritual ground.

>

>

> 5. D.K.Vasudeva rao:- Good.

>

> 6. Nandan Chakraborty:- Good.

>

>

> 7. Lakshmi Ramesh:- Good.

>

> 8. Jay Weiss:- Good. Answer 2: Yes what you mentioned is our

duty. But, personally what we have done to come closer to God?

>

> 9. Majid:- You mentioned ".other means of Remembrance." What are

these remembrances. Your 4th answer is simple and nice. But, we

should think more. Meanwhile, regarding Sanskrit, I will send a

separate mail.

>

> 10. Arno Holzman:- Very good answers with nice explanations. I

cannot accept the differentiation in the last line of 3rd answer. We

should accommodate all lineages and we should respect all of them.

Mother's loves towards children are same in any community. But, the

expression of this love is different for each community. Similarly,

expression of understanding is different for each linage, but the

ulterior goal is same in all linage.

>

> 11. Ignat Skoryh:- Answer 1:-How far we understand these 3

questions? Answer 2:- Yes it is a starting point. What is next?

Answer 4:- Excellent. Very good answer.

>

> 12. Karthik:- Answer 2:- So, what shall we do get success in the

effort?

>

> 13. Zeljka:- Excellent and very good answers. I can fully

understand how balanced you are and your emotional feeling towards

God.

>

> 14. Sanjay Prabhakaran:- Good. You mentioned for Ans 1:- ".I hope

it does not end up as bookish knowledge.." So, what shall we do?

>

> 15. Karu:- Your 1st answer, ".When I have faith, He take the form

of Guru and guide me to the ocean of knowledge, when misconduct he

punish me by taking a form of enemy, and rectify my life." reminded

me that the malefics are for the betterment of the native. Benefics

pull us and Malefics push us. But, all are part of God. Answer 2: Do

you feel that you come closer to God than the previous year?

>

> 16. Das Gupta:- Answer 1:- Very nice explanation. Answer 2:- Yes.

I agree. We all know God is very close to us or within us. But, what

are we doing to realize his presence? That is the meaning of that

question.

>

> 17. Shrini:- You are fortunate to have the Gayatri Manra at

Mantralayam. Answer 2:- I appreciate your honesty and at the same

time please start something soon. Your 4th answer is very good except

the last line. It is not necessary. Both of them excel in their

field. A Jyotish cannot conduct yagnas or poojas like Priest. There

can be exception, in that case he can be called as Priest cum Jyotish

or Vice Versa. But, in true sense both are entirely different.

>

> 18. Chandramukha das:- Good.

>

> 19. Vyshakh:- Good. Answer 2. What is your plan to do the

purification.

>

> 20. Sriram:- Good answers. Keep up your good work on organizing

spiritual classes.

>

> 21. Vinod Srinivasan:- Good answers.

>

> 22. Abhilekh Bhardwaj:- I appreciate your honesty in not ready to

quote just theories. But, it is not acceptable that you have not

experienced or not understood God. There is something missing. You

have to think and come back. I can help you out in this regard. I

felt in a similar manner some years back. But, be serious and think.

Regarding Sanskrit, separate mail follows.

>

> 23. Arjuna-vallabha das :-Answer 1:- I appreciate your

Gurubakthi. But, is it enough? Why do you suspect, and ask should

Krishna have a role in your life? The question is do you feel that

God is having a role in your life or not? Answer 2:- In what sense?

Do you serve your Guru?

>

> 24. Karen Skoler :- Very good thoughts. You are the only one who

asked about what is my role to God. Good. About yoga classes be

careful. The original yoga is part of austerity. But, it is taught as

kind of exercise.

>

> 25. Dilip Banerjee:- Yes. That is the power of Lord Chaitanya and

SJVC. If you have not read all the answers for this lesson, please

read them and you can feel the family atmosphere. It is SJVC

kutumbam. My heart is filled with your struggling and experience

process.

>

> 26. Vivek Shetty:- My applogize for overlooking your answer. Your

quoted stories are nice. Answer 2: The question is not to be

understood like this. As you said, God is here very nearer to you.

But, how do you realize that? What steps we have taken to come to

such realisation is the question? Suppose, if we are in deep thought

we may not realize if someone approach us. Similarly, we are covered

by the umpteen mayas. Breaking this maya and realizing the God is

what meant by closer.

>

> 27. dfd gfgsg [ts8166] :- Good. Please sign at the end.

>

> 28. Atma Prakash:- Very nice replies, especially the 4th Answer.

>

> 29. Jagmeet:- Good replies. Answer 2:- What you are referring to

the term "Karma yogi" is not correct. Answer 3. So, the solution lies

in the 2nd question. Isn't it?

>

> 30. Darpaha Dasa:- Very good replies.

>

> 31. Jeff:- I got your point in your 2nd answer. But, elaborate on

this. So that I can comment and guide you.

>

> 32. Supiriti:- Very nice replies. Sufferings are the threshold

for God realisation. Shall we thank him for that or not?

>

> 33. Satyanarayana Reddy:- Good answers. What are you going to do

to come closer to God?

>

> 34. Radhik:- Simple and nice reply.

>

> 35. Jennifer:- Good replies.

>

> 36. Mohan Hegde:- Very good answers. Answer : Who is reason of

your thamasic and rajasic deeds? Answer 2: Yes. You are right. Closer

to god can be internal only.

>

> 37. Beau Binder:- Perfect and your 1st answer is very nice.

>

> 38. Rajaram pai:- You gave a nice thought into question 3 and I

very much like your interpretation. Answer 4: Some are correct and

some are not.

>

> 39. Virgilio Victor :- I appreciate your views and our Guru

Narasimaha has explained that Buddha is one of the Vishnu

incarnations. Yet, the matter here is not this issue. The question is

about "GOD". How we perceive is different. Even if I and my wife

worship Lord Vishnu, how do we perceive and visualize him is purely

personal and it is beyond our capacity to express outwardly. What you

mentioned, ".Each individual is responsible for his or her own

emancipation from anguish and suffering." is true.

>

> 39. (a) Dilip Banerjee:- Let the people chose their own path, if

they are happy about that path, it is OK. If they feel that their

path will take them to the God, it is well and good. As long as they

are sincere in their objective it is enough for us.

>

> 40. Samir:- Very honest answer for question 1. But, how do you

feel about the existence of God in your day to day life? Question 2:

The answer for this question starts from question 1. So, you must be

very clear in that. Think about 1st question again and come back.

>

> 41. Govinda Rao:- Answer 2:- Good. Keep it up. Answer 1&4 needs

more thinking. We need not know about the past births. We are here in

this form, after several processes. Even if we are not accepting the

past birth, our genes had passed through the lives of our forefathers

and ancestors. It has passed through several past births. That is the

idea of taking 5th and 9th house as POORVAPUNYA HOUSES. (Please

explain, why?). We need not know such processes. But, we should know

the impact of such processes or karmas, in this life. That is

possible only through Jyotish.

>

> 42. David Burrow:- All answers are very good. Simple and to the

point, especially the 4th answer.
