Sadhana and Astrology

[Guest guest]

My dear friends and like minded persons

 

Reg:  Sadhana/Practice and related matters

 

In these days, I have come across mails posted through different groups on

ancient Indian Traditional Sadhana.  I appreciate the interest of people in

accepting and also showing interest on these ancient richest sciences of Indian

origin.  I appreciate many young people showing interest in ancient Indian

Astrological Sciences, perhaps, one reason may be that they wish to know what

future would be and how best they can make sure of their future and some such. 

I desire to share my views on these two topics, though both the topics look like

different, they are inter- related. 

 

Fundamentally, aimless sadhana does not take us any where.  Let there be a goal

for each of us, divided into long range plans and sub divided into small range

plans.  Almost all sadhanas allure us and catch our eyes with all eagerness to

look into what it is and how best fast we can capture it or enjoy the divine

subjects.  This is surely a very dangerous situation.  One should remember

that Life is a boon and WE HAVE ALL BEEN GIVEN A LIMITED TIME as such we can not

go on touching all types of sadhana and there , waste precious and valuable

time.  The subject is an ocean and one can not afford to bring the ocean to his

home.  There are hundreds and thousands of sadhanas and one has to pick and

choose the one which is of utmost necessary.  One way of choosing is basing on

the Interest and the other way is identifying the problem related to each of the

individual and to come out of it, is to select one sadhana and practice it to

achieving success.

One can not afford consuming all types of strength supplementary medicines of

all kinds though they are meant basically to support the strength.   

 

We have been in this field for over forty years and we also desire to have young

people to catch these sciences and our interest is to carry them to the next

generations and keep the sciences alive on-going basis.  We go pick and choose

basing on the interest of the person, his ability, his nature, his need and

mainly his intention to help the society and we do not normally disclose the

valuable information where we sense that the sadhak is trying to get the subject

from us for his selfish needs or with a destructive intention. 

 

These subjects are meant mainly for constructive purposes and a Sadhak should

have balance of mind, not self centered, not with a any ulterior motive and only

when we are convinced of the nature of the Sadhak, we normally pass on the clues

of sadhana by virtue of which the sadhak remains successful in the easiest

way.  On most occasions, we face a very delicate situation where we have to

deny the information or giving Deeksha when particularly we understand that the

sadhak is not yet ready to shoulder the Deeksha.  The testing procedures are

quite different.  Only a Master can understand about his student similarly only

a Guru can understand how and in what manner a sadhak is ready to shoulder the

powers of Deeksha.  

 

Of course, we are in this material world, we really suffocate ourselves, neither

can we disclose the facts which remain unpalatable to the sadhak, nor do we

remain capable to gear up the sadhak for different reasons.  Such delicate

situations, we often come across these days.    It is a true heart of a Guru

as I experience myself in that position.

 

People are also after Astrology and are mesmerized by the innumerable ads which

are eye catching and which assure that HEAVEN IS JUST A NEIGHBOUR AND NOT FAR

OFF.  These ads would only make us to waste our money and nothing else that

does not mean that I deny the subject matter and conclude them as baseless.  At

this point of time, one has to remember that the principles of Management works

always and when I reduce them into a small sentence, it is like “what to do,

when to do and how to do†which means, the goal setting, the time setting, and

the approach setting.    

 

One should analyze his goal and should look into the situation practically

instead of approaching the astrological sciences very casually.  

 

The doors of these sciences are to be opened only when attempts repeatedly fail,

no solution of what so ever nature is found even after human efforts, and all

methods to fight out the problem are mostly tried and exhausted.

 

It must always be remembered that Astrological sciences are a wonderful boon to

mankind; they help us solve our problems mostly.  When I write this, I have to

place my experiences too.  When I was blessed with the boon of the knowledge of

these sciences, my Master told me that the science is not FOR SALE, and at no

point of time this can be sold, and the science should help the society and the

less fortunate in times of need and not otherwise.  I come across many people

who are interested to know their future just like that and it is their fancy to

do so.  It has to be remembered that it is not a fancy subject. 

 

An astrologer can easily create a psychic fear and plant a seed in the minds of

people which can not be removed for any reason in the entire life of a person,

when the astrologer identifies and tells that there would a serious problem in

due course of time.  The receiver of this message is straight down from that

minute.  It is the duty of an astrologer to put the words in such a manner that

the receiver is not let down psychologically, but the message is passed in a

quite palatable manner. 

 

The astrological sciences can not be sold for a few thousands and it is such a

sacred subject.  Many a times, by virtue of the astrological readers capacity,

the problems remains solved then and there and the capacity of UPASANA is such,

every has to admit it.  An astrologer always must be Society-friendly and

should use his knowledge to help the people.  It has to be remembered that the

Astrological Science is brought to us by great sages who looked for the welfare

of the society and well being of all of us.  They never intend to make money or

go for cheap gains out of the sacred science.  Thus it remains to be the duty

of every astrologer to upkeep and respect the intentions of Great Sages by

maintaining purity always and at all times. 

 

Sometimes gem stones are suggested; surely they are of great help.  There is

hundreds of such stones world wide which are of help to persons.  An astrologer

should be able to identify such a gem stone which would be a remedial measure to

the receiver.  I take abundant precaution and initially test the stone by

myself and examine to what degree it would be helpful to the receiver.  A true

astrologer always agitates himself to know the outcome of his reading and his

eagerness is beyond description and I can confidently write this as an

astrologer. 

 

How many of us turn back and tell our doctor that we are cured, in the similar

fashion, an astrologer is not informed of the outcome in most cases.  When the

patient is alright by the medicine, he does not turn up and say to the doctor

that he became alright like wise, a receiver does not tell the astrologer how

and to what degree the reading was helpful to him.  This feed back would surely

help the astrologers to rethink themselves and plug up the holes if any, so that

the subject is taken care enough with a second receiver.  Sometimes the

receivers of the reading repeatedly try many astrologers and ultimately land at

no place.  This is not proper; an astrologer is also a human being, it should

be necessary to give him and his reading some time to take shape.  One should

not blame the science that none of the astrologers could give a solution, one

should give some time for the astrological medicine to act upon and the remedial

methods suggested are

truly taken shape into. 

 

Overnight results are not possible through any science and any subject.  Lack

of patience is another problem which makes public loose money and confidence on

these subjects.     

 

May Goddess grant all of us Proper vision and proper direction to set goals and

strive to achieve them.

Yours affly
