Dear all,

 

"Ekam sat viprah bahudah vadanti" The knowledgeable speak in various

ways though there is only one Truth that exists.

 

Upanishads and Vedas tried to fathom the nature of the Lord. Such

axioms as "Isavasya midam sarvam, sarvam khalwidam brahma, vasudevam

idam jagat..." prove beyond doubt that there are no two entities but

only one. The four maha vakyas of the Upanishads too establish this.

 

Then, how is jiva related to the parabrahman? If there are no two

entities, then how come we are seeing so many people or entities?

 

Verily, all these chara and achara universe is made up of Brahman. He

is the reality and we are the replica of such Absolute Reality,which

is verily the Awakened Awareness

 

However, the chaya of the Lord, expressed as Maya , vidya maya in

some cases and avidya maya in others, is comprised of the 5 elements

and the five characteristics-nama, rupa, asti, bhati and priyam.

whereas Lord is beyond these traits. Planets and their upa grahas can

be related to the five elements and thus, it can easily be gauged

what could be the characteristics of each planet.

 

Each planet is also accorded a geometrical figure, depending upon

their distance to the Sun and it is Pythogerus who proved that these

distances are related to the musical notes. Thus, planets are related

to geometry and music. Planets can also be related to numbers.

 

Existance of planets is a natural phenomenon, musical nodes are a

natural phenomenon,existence of the five elements is a natural

phenomenon and the lines of geometry are natural phenomenon, as are

the numbers. Thus, we can find a unison in the variously manifested

nature, echoeing the principle ekam sat, viprah bahuda vadanti. While

there is only one truth, it is manifested by the nature(vipra) in

various ways.

 

The five elements have a hierarchy in their characteristics. While

the earth has all the five traits of roopa, rasa etc., ether has only

sabda as its charateristic. The Brahman being beyond ether has no

guna.

 

Unless we understand these upanishadic principles, it is very

difficult to go further in the study of astrology.

 

The zodiac, which is verily the macro replica of Narayan, is

represented as a chart. This chart represents a native. Thus, the

native is nothing but a replica of the Lord God himself. Once you

remember that you are verily reading the chart of the Lord Himself,

you are only trying to find out His leelas expressed through the

Life he has created, it is very difficult to be accurate in your

predictions. A more "scientifically oriented" astrologer should

remember that he is looking for the patterns of the universe in a

chart, which nothing but the handiwork of the LOrd.
