niyati or karma?

September 9, 2002

Respected Jyotisha,

Pranam.

I know very little about Astrology but have a complete

faith in it. My brother is an astrology student and a

regular member of the SJVC list. Some days back he

identified some (health?) problems in my birth chart

and asked for advice on the SJVC list. In reply he got

a kind suggestion from respected Sanajy Rath Ji to do

jap for mantra "Om Jam Sah". I have tried to do that

but somehow I could not continue.

Now, for last few days a new phenomenon is occurring.

I have completely lost interest in my current job. I

am a well paid software engineer and I guess my job is

stable. Everything was Ok and suddenly I started

feeling that, this is not the right career for me.

Currently I am not in a position to discontinue it but

this feeling is so intense that I can't concentrate on

my current job. I don't know what is happening with me

and what should I be doing? Is there some problem with

me as a human (taking the responsibility of karma

being done by me) or I should continue it accepting it

as the niyati (the one that I can understand for now)?

Or there are problems with my stars, that can be

rectified by astrological remedies (are they able to

change the course of life)?

Jyotisha, please show me the way. JHD file attached.

Thanks,

Vivek

Respected Sanjay Ji,

Heartful thanks for your kind reply. Started

recitation of mantra as you have said. Your article on

karma and freewill made me reconsider my views about

the karma happening. Hope we will meet when you are

back in Delhi.

best regards,

Vivek.
