To Mark, Raman and JR: Astrology + Christianity + Islam: From Souvik

[Guest guest]

What I am writing now is a result of motivation and energy I received from a

wonderful posting (as below) by Mark Kincaid on Astrology and Christianity.

However, what I write now is completely my view and may differ from the

readers.

 

Religion is a sensitive and personal issue and one should be very careful when

commenting on such issues. So I would just mention some statistical and

classified data and end the mail with a question.

 

Christianity:

Christians "worship" (or pray , or observe religious concerns) on Sunday.

USA (dominantly) a Christian nation "domiantes" the world activities.

WTC and the threats to US occured during the Moon dasa of US.

America starts with the letter 'A', supossedly a representation of the 'SUN'

 

Islam:

Muslims ""worship" (or pray , or observe religious concerns) on Friday.

Islam (perhaps) has the largest followers (Muslims) in the world.

Women (Venus) are reverred in Islam and highly respected in the original form of Islam

Women are safe gaurded and considered prized "possesions" in Islam

Muslims are the greatest cooks (Venus) in the world.

 

Please do ponder upon the few lines I have written and please do let me know ur views.

 

Mark, I am sure you will find the emperical pattern of human religion!!

 

Are we above celestial concerns?

 

Regards,

 

Souvik

Dear Friends:Here's a wonderful question about whether Astrology is compatible

with Christianity!enjoyMark K.Dear Raman:Astrology and Christianity are

definitely compatible...Remind them of the story of the Christ child &

birth...It was 3 wise, men kings who had been led by their astrologers....to

follow the Star!why?to find the Christ child...So, Astrology's greatest purpose

is to help us evolve, to find the Spiritual nature of life, which is beyond the

Stars...The stars, are the path, through which God, created.... us..to live to

find Him....I understand the anxiety that is there in Christianity, .... but

.....anyone who understands that anything of value, in the relative world, from

positive thinking seminar, to an economics course, to

Astrology!...all...can be helpful...to help us understand...the true purpose of

life, is to become enlightened!hope this helps..Mark K.ps... in the famous book

of one of the founders of Astrology; Maharishi Parashara, he says:"in the

beginning Lord Vishnu, entered into the grahas to bestow upon his devotees, the

consequences of their actions..."So, in essence the Planets are really just God,

in disguise...I think even Hindus, can learn that Jupiter, himself, ...is just

the Lord, in disguise...To pray to them, is not as necessary, except the extent

to which the prayer, teaches us how our own actions are causing us our

griefs...God, doesn't do anything to us.God, has 2 rules....#1, God gives us

complete freedom to doing whatever we would like...#2...however, we're also

going to be help accountable for the consequences of our actions...So, we get

born with malefic Astrological situations,

which mean, that God, or Nature is innocently giving back to us..the product of

our 'wrong' of imperfect actions, and if by praying we learn how better to

perform those actions,...to turn that malefic into a benefic!...then the prayer

is okay...hope this answers and helps...Sincerely,Mark KincaidNamaste....

?For Upaya offering prayer to Jupiter or other planet is against the

Christianity.I have been asked this question by friend.Can you talk about

it.regards!Raman

2- & Deepak, from Mark K....4/7......re.... Lagna Lord -Benefic or

Malefic?Dear Deepak & All:There's actually 2 ways of thinking about the

relative benefic or maleficstatus of our Planets...Yes, I think the Lagna Lord

is always, 'essentially benefic'...but if the first house lord, is in the 12th

house, 6th or 8th....then, it may be potentially, benefic, but certainly may be

found functioningas a malefic.Take the example, too, of Planets that are ruleing

the traditionally,considered, malefic 6th, 8th or 12th houses...They're

generally thought of as malefic, but they can certainly be foundacting

benefically, especially if they're in their own, sign, or Exalted!I love

what the sage, Mahrishi Parashara was supposed to say about theplanets..In the

beginning of his book, on Hora Sastra, he says: "In the BeginningLord Vishnu

entered into the grahas to bestow upon his devotees, theconsequences of their

karmas."I love this expression because it helps me understand that

basically,essentially, all the Planets are benefic or good!Only sometimes, the

lord, radiates back to us, less then desirable results,to teach us, so we

aspire to develop and improve that side of us....Let's say, someone has Sani,

in the 12th House. And it's definitely actingmalefic there!Ah...take my chart,

yikes!,....but having a Libra rising my Sani, thoughit's in the 12th house, is

still supposed to be benefic!, being yogakaraka,and all...but, my experience,

is it's been completely malefic for me!There with my Moon, too, I've

experienced a lot of Saturn 12th house,'losses', due to

Sani, including...loss of emotional happiness, sadness,loneliness, lack of money

and lots of losses due to too many expenditures..But, immediately when I started

strengthening my Sani, and practicing otherjyotish remedies which can be said,

to directly improve Saturn....I'venoticed a complete turn about in my

experience of what was previously a verymalefic Saturn...Both, medititation and

studying Jyotish, and especially, the daily Transits,all, have had a very

powerful effect on allowing me to reap, the morepositive, and Benefic qualities

of Sani!Hope this helps...Namaste...Mark KincaidPS....I don't know if you've

heard, but I also write a Jyotish newsletter.It includes a daily, Transits

newsletter as well as other aspects ofJyotish. If you, or anyone else in this
