Guest guest Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Resp. members of the Group, I really appreciate your contributions on this thread. Yes, few of us, may be 1% or less of the total population, we are simple people in our thoughts and deeds but in practice, it seems to be just insignificant. Try to visualise as what happens in our pilgrim places/ temples where we go by taking all the troubles and there, people use all possible corrupt practices by breaking the ques for Darshan and after Darshan or satsang, how soon , we start using those ugly practices again to live this complex worldly life . yes, most of us with few exceptions. As rightly mentioned that with changing socio-economic values , our life style has been changing very fast in recent years, even our good social and religious traditions are being lost in this mad rush. That is why, I was trying to emphasize only first two steps of yoga, the YAM and NIYAM ( principles of MORAL and DISCIPLINED life style ) what our friends have also said.They are very good remedies to improve our total health if not our stars. with greetings, Sapna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Dear Sapna_jee, In order to follow Patanjali yoga and all other wealth of wisdom that exists in Hindu Scriptures, one would first need to be educated to be able to read and understand what was written in those --- right? And then there are so many versions and translations and transliterations and each claimed to being derived from the ONE AND ONLY ORIGINAL! Does that mean: 1) ONE needs to be well-educated in order to receive salvation through these ancient and SAGE WORDS? OR 2) GIVEN the variations and versions, would education simply lead to CONFUSION? GOD is VERY KIND and equitable! Those who are scholars and wise and well educated SHALL arrive at HIS/HER/THEIR H-O-M-E, just as their younger and less educated or great-unwashed siblings will TOO! Perhaps the latter will arrive earlier than their Gnani siblings will! BECAUSE GOD (BABA & MA) always have a weakness for the *infants*! The OLDER and more MATURE ones do not need PARENTS! FOR THEY HAVE " LIBRARIES " and 'BOOKS' that they LOVE and ADORE!! While the 'babies' are sitting in their parents' laps eating ICE-CREME! :-) Just a simple observation -- general based on simple and direct human experience. I shall write about the ASTROLOGICAL CORRELATE too elsewhere or may have partly written about already!

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 Dear Sapna Ji, When v discuss about stars,planets,zodiacs and other futuristic studies that involves palmistry,physiognomy etc,v always try to locate general trends,problems involved,how they can be tackled and ways to make the time enouraging without loosing confidence are always cited and mentioned. It is also known fact that loosing confidence is to go into the shell and get palgued with worries and anxities.This where our seers.wisemen have found by way of rich heritage and suggested practices by way of yoga. Yoga is a holistic prescription for all of today's evils.But how do v receive such knowledge?,what can v implement ?not implent?,simple or complex ?are based on receptivity. V wish to add further complexityby way of changing technology termed modern living styles and advent of occupational hazards b it in terms of hypertension.migraines or some thing for which no definete cure exsits. For all such instances to keep qulity in our living and maintain it by of our understanding of Sutras(Patanjali Yoga Sutra,topic under discussion.it's practicability,understanding,and implementation is one's own choice . Finally it is the general out look and one faith that guides men and matters.we as human beings effort is take control of future which is the prerogative of planets by way of destiny.
