Sage Parasra vs Sage Veda Vyas !!!

[Guest guest]

Dear Karunaakaram,

Ideally a person should have the understanding that whatever comes to him,

whether good or bad is the result of ones deeds and karmas, also with knowledge

and faith that even a blade of grass doesnt move without the sanction of The

Supreme Lord.

Now, if a man already has faith he can use astrology for timing marraiges, sacrafices, ekadasi,

conception of righteous children and so many other things for religious purposes

and benefit of society,

When it comes right down to it, people who are not accept ing, not having faith

etc... or are not happy with life as it is coming or are concerned with what

they are, or are not getting then they will consult an astrologer and want

remedial measures..

For example. I accept that the grief and pains that come to me is due to my past

sins, etc.

BUT because i really want a loving marriage and relationship in life... and it

seems to be alluding me..

and unable to accept the fact it might not come to me ,due to bad karma,,,,, I

keep asking astrologers when I will find a good husband,,,

If i , in deed have 100% pure faith, i would simply chant Hare Krishna and with

peaceful mind accept what i am due ,even if it means no more husband for me.

I should accept what comes on is own, i shouldnt lament or hanker for what im not due/

 

So in that sense , yes, better to have faith in the Lords plan and destiny..than

run to an astrologer.

but if we dont have 100% faith, then we can see an astrologer and find remedial

measures in hopes we can alter our destiny,,,,

OR better yet, through an astrologer , understand our sinful deeds from past

lives and what to do to avoid future sins....etc... and try and be as karma

free as possible, remember the Lord and our postiion as subordient to him as a

servant and hope we can have the mercy of a spiritual master who can help us

on the path of self realization and become liberated.

 

So a good astrologer can help a person on his path back home to God Head and be liberated.

that is why Sanjay often emphasizes studying the AK and the istadevata , as he

feels his duty to aid those who want to understand why they are suffering,etc/

The real purpose of Vedic Astrology is for spiritual purposes.

Just my thoughts,

Lakshmi K

Namaste,I was recently viewing the MAHA BHARAT Episode 4filmed by B.R.Chpra &

Ravi Chopra( Epic’s Hindiversion with English caption) ---- in the beginning

ofthe 4th episode Sage Vyas says to Mata Satyavati “time flows like a river ……

it is better that man isunable to read future.What is fate to happen

willhappen,some times ignorance is bliss and some timespre knowledge is a cause

for sorrow….fate means thatonly God knows what is in store for an individual

...”The above purported dialogue of Sage Veda Vyas son ofSage Parasar depicts

Him to be a non believer ofAstrology ! Is it ture that Sage Veda Vyas was a

nonbeliver of Astrology? While is father PatronizedAstrology?If the Sage Veda

Vyas is a non beliver of Astrology,that how come Indian Hindu Astrology could

become aVedaganga / Vedic –Astrology !
