Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Supplementing to Mr. Dharma Vyaadha, astrology is not a subject followed by weak minds or ....etc.. It is for the people who have strength of character and will. Astrology gives you a picture of what is in store for you in terms of future. A good indication does not mean that one can happily engage in bad vices, similarly vice-versa. It is by doing good karma only, one can navigate the troubled future !!! The good karma = allevation can come in any of the five identified and extensively documented divine paths to salvation i.e. Hatha, Karma, Bhakti, Jnana & Raj Yoga paths or methods. What Swami Vivekananda is saying while he is praying or invoking to Goddess Durga or Kali, for her divine intervention to achieve the goals set by his guru Sri Paramahansa Ramakrishna in spreading the divine message !!! Divine intervention would only come to deserving few ( read "rare few" ). Invoking God or Goddess is a secret technique known to advanced spiritually awakened persons... atleast NOT by those persons seeking "selfish" allevation arising from materialistic desires like money, promotion, disease, escape from misery...etc.. ( often seen through many request mails of members!!! ). We often here in families of yester years where the family size used to be atleast THREE CHILDREN, that birth of a PARTICUALAR child has brough happiness or misery to the parents. If one analyses the parents horoscope for the period between the births of two children ( i.e. between child bringing happiness into family and the one who brough misery ), it is often seen the karma of father or mother of the said children were not good. i.e. either they did not do good karma or actions which has resulted in birth of "misery childbirth"...etc.. Well, we have often long debates on the issues of longevity, has anyone done proper research or study........My confidence says absolute NO. Reason people are interested in "grabbing" information or collecting information without contributing any original ideas. The God has designed a calculated number of "human breaths" for every person which is equivalent to 120 years ( refer the vimshottari dasha ). The human body normally breathes 18 times a minute. A person during his life time undergoes various physical & mental states, wherein the breathing increases or decreases i.e. he is overdrawing or "under"drawing from his predefined & calculated ( for people interested in mathematics 18 x 60 min x 24 hrs x 365 days x 120 years = god given or designed total number of breathes possible ). The planets in a horoscope has their own Tamasic, rajaswic....etc. qualities - More tamaswic quality - early death,.....one can draw their own conclusions thereon based on the dictums defined in the astro_classics. We often hear people ( in newspaper columns ) persons living healthily even after 100 years of life. Did you notice that number of people crossing 120 years of life - an extremely rare event or news... Even should you have read such news did you make effort to know about his lifestyle and practises, beliefs.....etc.. which can be later mapped to astro_analysis ?? Did any one collect information on that ?? Absolute NO, No, NO. For we are today interested to "read the mails in the forum" just to see if anyone has responded to his submitted astro_query, so selfish, cannot think beyond themselves... We talk of combinations of "Twins"....etc.. Did anyone know it is Sweden which has extensive documented birth data on "Twins" for over six centuries( 600years ) till now ??? Did anyone make an effort to get or access that database ??? No, No, No. We are all happy to earn $$$ and get free advises in the forum. I recently came across a person staying in USA of Indian origin ( messenger online), who requested some analysis on his 19years of married life which is in "rocks", when took pity on him, did some quick analysis ( online - at late midnight ), when shared him the analysis, he was asking for a GURANTEE or WARRANTY for the analysis - which made me "boil instantly" and tell him, free things do not carry gurantee or warranty card and I being in India, where the consumer courts do not exists or function !!! and switched him off politely & instantly. With this approach of "astro_customers" the days are not far away wherein people stop practising astrology even as a hobby !! Our ancient seers have understood the great link between the life & death being = "breath" and hence designed or discovered the Pranayama techniques ( many many combinations are there - let member bodly confess - how many of you really know about this yet practise astrology ??? ). In the samadhi state the bodly does NOT breath and hence a state of "LONG LIFE" i.e. remember the story of boy " Markandeya" in the Shiv Puran ??? Oh ! now I remember it.....We all read but do not correlate or understand the divine creation or the logics behind it neither make effort of delineating it. Yet we run after GEMS or GEMNOLOGY. There are some members in , who write regularly, their e-mails have NOT 0.1% of astrology or spirituality, ( simply meaningless messages ) yet regarded & respected. I am surprised - why such non-sense emails are published in first place !! I can write about those identified few - can share them privately to interested members. I am sure tracking those members mails would definitely invoke similar reactions like mine !! See the quality of response of Smt. Mahalaxmi Iyer or Smt Sulochana or Smt Satya Sai KolachinaMr Chandrasekhar or....... When Sri K.N. Rao talks or speaks about the Jyotisha nadi, we are all elated - for we do not understand a "byte" of his crypted saying. Many call him as "Old Man". but do anyone document horoscope analysis like or him ??? He has such an extensive documentation either on events or horoscopes types or combinations......mind blogling...collection... That extensive research case studies gives him the "authority to speak" and motivates us to listen or read to his every spoken or written word. We often hear the debate of applicability of a horoscope after death of the native. Do we know where to start and end this debate ?? Never tried so hard ?? for astrology is a Hobby to be practised in mundane surroundings ??? !! Take the horoscopes of the popular persons say - Mahatma Gandhi, Lenin, Jawarharlal Nehru ( the great hypocrite),.....etc.. They all were popular in their times - in real terms. Assuming they are still alive, analyse their dasha...... If you have the data of now popular Indian musician R.D. Burman who was not popular during his lifetime, now eulogised every day..... We often read in this forum extensive explanations or pointless discussions without any authentic genuine research. I invite or challenge members if they are true to astrology, let me know any research done on the above mentioned logics. There is more of plagarism or copying of ideas without any genuine original contribution by members. One thing we should remember for the scriptures have said this again and again - Karma has to be ENDURED. There are no short cuts!!! With regards, sreeram srinivas sreeram64 (AT) satyam (DOT) net.in cell : 98682-31817 _____ vedic astrology [vedic astrology] On Behalf Of dharmavyaadha Friday, June 23, 2006 4:47 PM vedic astrology [vedic astrology] Swami Vivekanandas Views on Astrology Hello all I was reading about Swami Vivekanandas views on Astrology, here is a link http://www.ramakris <http://www.ramakrishnavivekananda.info/vivekananda/volume_8/notes_of_> hnavivekananda.info/vivekananda/volume_8/notes_of_ class_talks\ _and_lectures/man_the_maker.htm I especially love the following lines: "And to be tricked by twinkling stars! It is a shameful condition. You are divinities; the twinkling stars owe their existence to you." And also the ending: "The highest things are under your feet, because you are Divine Stars; all these things are under your feet. You can swallow the stars by the handful if you want, such is your real nature. Be strong, get beyond all superstitions, and be free." In the scheme of Swamiji's man-making religion, astrology was a weak superstition to be followed by those who lack confidence on their divine strength. I think though Swamiji did not believe astrology was entirely false, he certainly found too much emphasis on it degenerating. In Yoga Vasishtha too, the emphasis is on "Swadhyaya" - self effort - above everything else. Would like members view on Swamijis Views Love and regards Dharma Vyaadha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 Mr. SS, Hmm... I thought astrology *was* a tool and subject that was supposed to be followed and sought after by weak minds! The householders worried about money, jobs, relationships, children and death!! The human nativities, the reading seekers, the average person on the street, the kaliyugi dunce that must be led by the slightly higher Dunce for whom Parashara created the ashtakavarga!! Of course, thanks to the creativity of the modern Person, we have several versions of Parashara's Ashtakavarga, not counting Varahamihira's minor adjustment. >From the Rhetorics I have heard and read from astrologers themselves over the last few decades, in print and on the web etc --- the concern I have is about astrologers being too hard -- almost like a pristine diamond -- extremely hard and brittle. You know what brittle means, right? (www.wikipedia.com) Are we on the same page of reality as it envelopes us?
