Dear members,

I have read all the emails on this subject and am hesitant to say anything

because I can see where both sides are coming from and respect their views.

However, realistically, how is a sincere, good Jyotishi to support himself? If

he has to work a typical 10 hour day (or longer), wants to spend at least some

time with his family and gets only two to three weeks vacation a year...when is

there time to study scriptures, do research, attend conferences, etc. and then

be able to give good counsel to people who come to consult him? A minister or

priest is supported by the congregation and the church and given a home. There

is no such organization to provide support for Jyotishis. Jyotish is a divine

science, but, on earth, like ministers and priests, Jyotishis need to still pay

bills and eat. I would very much like to see more high quality, dedicated

Jyotishis in the U.S., but this would be hopeless if they could not charge a

fee. The spiritual counsel someone like me can receive from a Jyotishi is,

frankly, invaluable, priceless, but I would be very troubled if I could not

offer some standardized fee in gratitude.

I hope I haven't offended anyone, I didn't mean to.

Sincerely,

Laurie

Hi Ramadas,

Back from the weekend, I must confess to feeling a little disappointed at

reading your and the other responses to my reply on this thread. The point is,

I think you missed my point :o)

How can what I wrote be purported to be an endorsement of charging fees? I was

having a sideswipe at whoever it was that suggested fees. My retro Merc always

(nearly) gives a weird meaning to the one reading, I suppose :)

But the profundity of what you wrote was unmistakable, doubtless.

Warm regards,

Ramapriya

Dear Ramapriya,

I object about charging for Astrological consultations.In Prashna Margam,it says

the person who wants to know about his future must go to a well qualified

Daivajna ( Jyotisha ) with fruits,flowers,coconut and Dakshina and keep them in

front of the Astrologer and then ask the question.But now in this modern world

all our old traditions are slowly vanishing except in villages of South India (

I have no idea about North Indian villages ) still this tradition is

prevalent.Now Dakshina means not charging the fees and it is a amount which the

qurent gives to an Astrologer so that whatever the Astrologer says would become

correct and auspicious results to be available to him and his family.

Here in Kuwait many people who come to me after completing of consultation,they

ask me what is your charges.So I have told everybody who visited me that this

Jyotishya is a Divine science and the predictions come from the daily prayers

and the Vak Siddhi of a true Astrologer and if GOD gives you any intution in

your mind to offer me as a Dakshina,I will take that amount but I will not tell

them what is my fees.Ofcourse,I am still following the old tradition.( Shani my

Lagna lord in 9th aspected by Guru from Meena Rasi with Budha and Surya.and

Shani is considered as very old like great grand father.

I know many of the listed members may not agree this but this is my principle in my life.

I hope this helps you.

Dear Laurie,

I had given the principles laid down in our ancient classics.But in your country

the life style is different and you can follow the rules and principles of the

country you reside.But when you are charging please take care to see that your

charges are a burden to them.

Thanks for the response. I have read your views and see that you are indeed

yourself following the old tradition in a noble fashion, for which I have the

utmost respect. I genuinely wish it could be that way in the U.S. However, it

is not. I wonder if it can really be that way for most Jyotishis even if modern

India...but about this I don't really know, so I won't venture to say anything

further. I also wanted to clarify something it sounds like you may have

misunderstood - I am not a Jyotishi and, thus, have no plans of ever charging

fees. I am only a student, but I have a profound respect and admiration for

this Divine Science. I also agree with you completely that the fees should

never be burdensome.

Dear UMS,

As already explained , personally I do not charge money as I too think like you

that the shashtra is meant to help people being Vedanga.

Having said that, is it no true about all the professions specially the medical

one? Again the duty is cast both on the astrologer and the jataka. The ancient

texts do not prohibit receipt of Dakshina. Exploitation is of course a taboo.

Coming to rest of your mails, Nostradamus's predictions are not scriptures. Most

of the quatrains are indecpherable. People try to corelate the quatrains to any

major events. There is a library of Nostradamus and its curator had one

informed that most of the predictions linked to him were not made by him at

all. Times of India had carried the story about the time of Gulf war. So let us

not bring Nostradamus in Vedic astrology. Verdic astrology does not allow one to

get inebrieted for making predicions.

If we talk about sprituality and religion vis-a-vis religion, then you will many

cults of ,sadly, Hinduism doing precisely that. There are fees for deeksha and

fees for Kundalini Jagran and what not. So let us steer clear of the subject as

some get sensitive about this.

What I am going to say now might draw me some flak, but do not confuse

spirituality with Astrology, though , now a days it is fasionable to claim

spiritual experiences to prove oneself to be a good astrologer. The reason is

precisely the commercialisation of spiritualism under the garb of religiosity.

If you read Gita read what Lord has said about how many of the seekers really

understand His true nature you will know that the mumber is miniscule.

Spirituality, at least in Hindu religion, as I understand it, is a quest of the

Atman within and the partman and is a highly personal experience, neither to be

advertised nor anything to boast about. If you reach Him there would be no

desirtes left and hence desire to project yourself as a spiritual person would

also disappear. Do anot confuse spiritualism with rituals and external and over

fprms of worship.

Dear Rajindersinghji's concern is right. But have you not found people taking

Sanyas and staying in one place for more than three days? How many people have

returned to Grihasthashram afer taking Sanyas and still claim to be Sanyasis?

Or Kirtankaaras posing as Gurus? There are good and bad people in every field,

it is the seeker of blessings who has to be on his guard.

About your example about engineering, have you heard of Space shuttle

disintegrating recently ? Do you think NASA scientists blasted off, though

engineering theroies indicated that it will disintegrate, and put the risks of

aastronaughts at risk deliberately? I think not. Every science has an element

of error built into it and more so in case of predictive science.

Most of the Astrology books are sold, with your logic they should be given free

and those who wrote them should be declared non spiritual or not practicing

astrology of Vedas. This is not the case. They are providing knowledge to many

who would like to get it without going through the rigours of going to Gurukul

and serving the Master( though few Girikulas are to be found now).

It is always easy to tell others not to expect any returns for the time and

knowledge that he puts up on behalf of others, but difficult to do it one self.

All sciences are meant to help people and in ancient India payments were not

accepted. However students used to pay in kind, by means of doing work of Guru

or through various donations to the upkeep of the Ashram. We even offer

something to God. So please do not link spiritualism to charging of money.

O hope you and others on the list take this in right spirit. If I have hurt any

body's sentiments I seek their pardon in advance.

Chandrashekhar.

[vedic astrology] Re: A thought on Astrology and the Science

Dear Chandrashekharji and Rajendraji, Its nice to know that you dont charge

money for the good deed of predicting and helping. The way I tend to reason out

along very simple lines. Times have no doubt changed and people infact have also

changed. But the thing is if an astrologer holds and abides by the rules of

sprituality and religion then his rules will stay afast and would not change

with time. I mean only then can we say that an astrologer is different. I mean

the science of astrology rest very much with intuition too. There are many

rules in astrology and if one was to merely follow rules and leave intuition

behind then one would achieve say about 40 to 60% accuray or perhaps less. But

when one integrates pure intuition with astrological principles now thats where

true astrology comes to play its part. The old Nostradamn Scirptuers say that he

had to get intoxicated using drugs such as morphine to bring his sixth sense to

life. It isbecause it is believed that some drugs calm the concious mind and

bring to life the unconcious mind. which becomes hypnosis in todays world.

Neways that getting out of the topic. But if an astrolger charges someone on

grounds of predicting his or her destiney then the idea of self respect and

intuition goes out the window. Because Astrology becomes more of a proffession,

as much as it hurts to see the present state of education in India or the world

where proffessors are paid money and all they come to earn at school is money

(ofcourwe with the exception of few good profs) and have no clue about what

they are teaching as long as the hours are fullfiled in class and they get

their salary. They do not really care about a students future. Because they

regard and pay more weightage to money. Similary if as Dear Rajendraji

mentioned, if we begin to regard astrology as a proffession we would be doing

great unjust to it. I think astrology is an art that many like to see work, few

like to understand and a very few like to be obessed with and dwell truly into

its true nature. We attach so much interlinking of astrology with dieties and

gods but yet we at the other hand weigh its value in money and maya. Something

this is totally against the rules. A spritual person who wants to praise God

cannot be materaliztic and vice versa. So how then can a spritiual tool such as

astrology become materaliztic and turn it into a proffession. On the concept of

faith. We have faith in God inspite of we being unable to see. We have faith in

Him because we turn to him durring difficult times. In a smiliar fashion someone

who is distressed has faith in a good astrologer and turns to him to seek

advice. God guides us without money or without any element of materalisum and

so I feel a good astrologer can also do the same without the element of money.

Because if we start to link money with astrology then astrology loses all its

essennce and becomes like any other proffession. The only difference is other

proffessions show results as in a physical law holding good in one case of

engineering will definately hold good under simliar parameters in other places

say I test an alloy at 1400 C and it breaks at such a such force then rest

assured if that alloy is test in spain or japan or india it will yield the same

results. But with astrology its not the case. It yields results to ur likings

especially on the heavier issues of life like death and birth. All opinions are

welcome on how the influence of money has made astrology from spritual to a

materalistic money making element that sometime tends to play on peoples

emotions and some astrologers taking needful people on a ride for money. Also

when I come to think of it true knowledge holds good only when it is not sold

or has a market value. The great maharishi gave down and passed knoweldge by

solely seeing the person and then accepting him as their student rather than

seeing how much money he could afford or perhaps at that time how much land he

had or was he the son of a king or of the aritocracy class. regardsUms--- In

UMS,> Though I do not charge anything for predictions, I do not think that

pestering him to give that answer. Even on this list you will see many mails

from persons cribbing about their problems, instead of seeking advice after

putting up their own analysis, as this is a list for study of astrology. If

somebody wants to waste his own and the astrologer's time, then there is

nothing wrong if the astrologer charges him for his time.> The shastras enjoin

one to help only those who approach with humility, have faith and are in

Dear Laurie,

I had given the principles laid down in our ancient classics.But in your country

the life style is different and you can follow the rules and principles of the

country you reside.But when you are charging please take care to see that your

charges are a burden to them.

time with his family and gets only two to three weeks vacation a year...when is

there time to study scriptures, do research, attend conferences, etc. and then

be able to give good counsel to people who come to consult him? A minister or

priest is supported by the congregation and the church and given a home. There

is no such organization to provide support for Jyotishis. Jyotish is a divine

science, but, on earth, like ministers and priests, Jyotishis need to still pay

bills and eat. I would very much like to see more high quality, dedicated

Jyotishis in the U.S., but this would be hopeless if they could not charge a

fee. The spiritual counsel someone like me can receive from a Jyotishi is,

frankly, invaluable, priceless, but I would be very troubled if I could not

offer some standardized fee in gratitude.

I hope I haven't offended anyone, I didn't mean to.

Sincerely,

Laurie

Dear Chandrashekharji,

 

Yes. I understood and also agree with what you said. Especially, I

think one of your statements - More so in case of astrology as the

Jataka has also to follow his dharma for the fruits to come through. -

makes it very clear that guarantee cannot come in Jyotish predictions.

 

Namaste.

 

Rageshwari.
