Guest guest Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Dear Friends: Interesting article I received today re. an Ancient Vedic practice that's being practiced today, called Patanjali's Yoga Sutras or Sidhis. It's a great example of how 'life' can be influenced by Vedic remedies. In this same way, we can adopt many of the Vedic technologies to apply to the diagnosis of ourselves as seen from our Astrology. Our charts may be able to see our Benefic Strengths and Malefic weaknesses; then all of the rest of Vedic Science can be used to heal, balance and even transform our Malefics, also into strengths! For years now, coming out of a meditation and Ayurvedic background I have used many of these Vedic procedures in my prescriptions for remedies and remedial measures. Though when I first started studying Jyotish over 19 years ago now, all the books I read would have 195 pages on the Understanding of the Jyotish and only 5 pages at the end; as if tacked on as an after thought. Even back then I thought that was a bit strange and imbalanced. Quickly I realized it should be more 50/50%. When we have our charts read or even study our charts, we should spend somewhere around 50% of our time figuring out that our charts fit us. Then, as soon as we discover where our Malefics are we can then shift, into a Remedial Meausres mode and put all our attention on Remedies. As it turns out the real purpose of Jyotish is a self-development of the individual. The Malefics in our charts, though they've already been known as the source of all our problems, can now be looked at as those areas that we need to improve. This is already being done in such fields as Ayurveda, Yoga and Meditation, by the way. When someone goes to an Ayurvedic physician they feel your pulse and upon determining which doshas are out of balance; ie. through a perception of one's Vata, Pitta, and Kapha tendencies, then they immediately begin prescribing concrete things to do to bring the mind and the body in balance. The key to health for Ayurveda is balance. When the Physiology is balanced then it's able to be more resistant to stress, viruses, bacteria and disease. Yoga teaches physical postures to alleviate stress and tension which is good for the body and also for mental and emotional stress. Popularity in physical Yoga has blossomed over the last 20 years such that there are many yoga centers in each major city throught the World. Finally, Meditation has become even more popular as Vedic meditation has swept its way around the world. Many millions of people today in the 'West' meditate to alleviate stress, and develop such things as greater creativity, mental clarity and even unfold the person's latent unused human potential. Today, in the last 35 years over 600 scientific studies have been conducted on meditationinvesting and validating positive benefits upon every area of human life. Meditation has been shown to alleviate physical stress. Meditation has been shown to strength the human nervous system, thereby creating greater health. Mediation has been found to develop mental abilities, clarity of mind, greater decision makings and overall creativity all improve. Meditation has also been found to improve emotional problems, worry, anxieties, phobias of all kinds, unease, dis-ease and even depression. Studies have recently been ordered by the US Government to the tune of millions of dollars, in one instance to investigate the role of meditation in alleviating stress in highly susceptible black populations. So, with so many recent successes in the field of Vedic Knowledge why is it that Jyotish is still used in a very static, passive and even fatallistic way? This too is going to change as people begin to realize that Jyotish too has a great potential and power to help improve life by developing or strengthening the weaker, undeveloped or imbalanced, so-called Malefic planets in anyone's chart. In the future I believe Jyotish will become known as Vedic Psychology. Where Ayurveda primarily treats the body and what it eats and how it works with the environment and rhythms of nature; Jyotish has really the potential to influence the mind itself. Of course Jyotish includes the body as well as the mind; but Jyotish has the ability to see into our hearts and minds and know how to help any individual evolve themselves to their natural higher level of being. Why did we come to this Earth, if it wasn't to evolve? We didn't come here to only live the fatalistic consequences of our actions. We've come here to evolve, to become better human beings and as we do this, our lives and karmas will improve. Unfortunately the brillance of this Vedic Knowledge has been somewhat lost and ineffective for a number of centuries. If it hadn't Indian life would be supreme in the World. Indians, too, though they have access to this amazing knowledge, don't realize the great diamond they have in the rough. Also, such things as Meditation and even subtle Vedic technologies as Vedic recitations or Yaguas have become less effective as the source of real power in human life, or consciousness has become inert. For many centuries it became thought that it was very difficult to meditate and it took great control and concentration to bring the wild monkey mind into submission. The great insight of meditation in the last 50 years, especially through the auspices of his Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has personally revised and enlivened the power and utility of this great Vedic field of Meditation. In his now World famous Transcendental Meditation technique, practiced by over 6 million world wide; individuals have all begun to experience that the mind can be easily expanded by a natural and effortless form of meditation. This technique represents a major revival in the entire field of meditation and consciousness expansion. As a result, much interest has been stirred in all the other branches of Vedic Wisdom as well. Ayurveda, Yaguas, Yoga and now Jyotish are some of the most exciting other fields that are becoming available as well. In this new light, Jyotish too can be utilized for all kinds of practical reasons to improve and develop human life. Of course, the old view that Jyotish was about our fate and pre-determined realities is going to have to be left behind. But, it's already happening. Jyotish is going to the West, and Western tendencies for self-development and self-transformation are beginning to go to the East. Easterns though they've grown up in a passive, fatalistic mind set, are quickly moving into opening themselves to the wonderful hope and optimism of the West. This is why I created "Nature's Astrology" to help point the way of the possibility of bringing together the Best of both the West and the East into a new and exciting Astrology which is going to permanently change and improve our World. As it turns out this potential or reality already exists in Nature's Astrology. Out there in nature, Astrology is already perfect. It's just here on this Earth that we forget sometimes how perfect nature is. Nature, already is living Astrology. We live in an Astrological Unviverse, we always have and though we're presently in a scientific age it too is an Astrological one. Always even in the future the Universe will be Astrological. This is because what Astrological means, is inherent meaning to an Astronomical universe. In other words there's inherent symbolic meaning for each one of us. Each one of us is living a personal and highly important Astrological life that the language of Astrology can help us with! Each one of us is living a life of Astrological forces, human but Astrological nature, Astrological qualiites and characteristics and many, many Astrological realities, issues and relevant developments. Astrology is a perfect language to help us decipher, understand and then smoothly and quickly progress through this Astrological World and Universe. We're Astrological beings living in an Astrological World. What could be more fitting to that, then a wonderful language of Astrology. Once we have our Astrological nature and condition read; then we can utilize any of the expanding technologies of Vedic Science to bring balance, healing and self-development to our entire Astrology. For many years now I've told people: "Meditation is the #1 Vedic remedy that everyone should use to help balance and transform any malefic pattern." Like that today, we're in the middle of one of the greatest demonstrations of Vedic Knowledge in the Advanced Meditation practice of what's called the Sidhis. Patterned after the great Indian Sage Patanjali who was thought to live about 2000 years ago, the present day practice of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras is also becoming very famous. See the article below about a present day, on going program that's happening right now!

Today's Associated Press story on Invincible America Assembly Posted by: "Maryanne Lee-Hartman" maryanneleetm maryanneleetm Sat Dec 2, 2006 10:25 pm (PST) Fw: Today's Associated Press story on Invincible America Assembly Von: Ken Chawkin Datum: 28.11.2006 19:11:12 Dear Friends, It's interesting to note that after having achieved 1730 in Monday night's program, the AP story the Des Moines reporter David Pitt wrote on our Invincible America Assembly was released early this morning. It is being picked up around the world with the main title: Organizers Say Meditation Brings Peace. Major papers like the Washington Post, LA Times, Newsday, FOX News, International Herald Tribune in , the list goes on. Just Google Transcendental Meditation and you'll see over 20 reports and growing. I included some links below. David will let us know if his longer version will run in Iowa later today. That will have more content and the name of our university. He had mentioned MUM 3 times but it got edited out. They actually cut his article in half and changed things around for national distribution. It's still a good article. Will send the Iowa version once it's available. All glory to Guru Dev, and Maharishi's tireless efforts to enlighten us all with his Vedic Knowledge and Technologies to create permanent world peace. JAI GURU DEV Ken Here are some of the links to the article: International Herald Tribune, France: Practitioners of Transcendental Meditation head to Iowa in hopes of spreading peace, prosperity http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/11/28/america/NA_GEN_US_Meditators_for_P eace.php The Guardian Unlimited, UK http://www.guardian.co.uk/worldlatest/story/0,,-6244017,00.html#top The Washington Post http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/11/28/AR2006112800 049.html The Houston Chronicle http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/nation/4364033.html Forbes, NY http://www.forbes.com/home/feeds/ap/2006/11/28/ap3207754.html The Los Angeles Times http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/wire/sns-ap-meditators-for-pe ace,1,4424665. story?coll=sns-ap-nation-headlines Newsday.com http://www.newsday.com/news/nationworld/nation/wire/sns-ap-meditators-for-pe ace,0,6910469. story?coll=sns-ap-nation-headlines FOXNEWS.com http://www.foxnews.com/wires/2006Nov28/0,4670,MeditatorsforPeace,00.html -- Ken Chawkin Media Relations Office Direct Line: 641-470-1314 T2: 641-472-7000, ext. 5028 F: 641-470-1311 E: kchawkin (AT) mum (DOT) ________ Maryanne Lee-Hartman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
