Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Dear Neelamji, I agree with you totally on the views expressed. One clarification though with reference to the following sentence in the post If the law of karma has to prevail, no amount of yantr-mantr- tantr would save one. Besides maintaining the diary, the Yama also has the liberty to knock down people, as and where he wants. Does that mean that all our prayers are no good at the end of the day? It may be possible that a few would have had miraculous escapes inspite of being present at the unfortunate location...

It can guide us in knowing our aptitudes and inclinations and assessing our strengths and weaknesses in all areas of life.

For the rest, we may surrender to Brahma/Yama, but try to make a better balance sheet of our karmas for which natal astrology can be a very good guide.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Dear Mandar ji. Being aware that your mail is addressed to Neelamji, i would still like to add a short comment. Prayers make a difference - Certainly - BUT only for adridha paap karmas, where certain respite may be seen in the evil results, BUT for the dridha paap karmas, there is no respite ( For ordinary people like us ). Those few who have escape may not have been destined to die at that time, or would have grace of Guru, or blessing of a saint, or some family members great tapa would be saving him. Apart from this - My views - There is nothing like impossible in this world and Earth. If your prayers have the powers then you can take out water from a stone. Or make a stone drink milk. or even fly in the air to another city in another body, or heal a big wound within the next morning. But how many of us can say such type of prayers or have such type of Bhakti to gain such powers ? best wishes, Bhaskar. , Mandar B <mandar_bh07 wrote:>> Dear Neelamji,> I agree with you totally on the views expressed.

Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Dear Mandar ji, I think Bhaskar ji has given you the answer. Yes, it's a matter of knowing what can be addressed and mitigated with prayers, etc. It is also a matter of understanding the dridh and adridh nature of happenings in their connection with our freewill. The whole issue is quite complex and debatable. It also depends upon the individual perceptions. Please read this line //If the law of karma has to prevail, no amount of yantr-mantr- tantr would save one. Besides maintaining the diary, the Yama also has the liberty to knock down people, as and where he wants.//it in conjunction with my concluding sentence: We may surrender to Brahma/Yama, but try to make a better balance sheet of our karmas for which natal astrology can be a very good guide. The better balance sheet will be made through good kriyamaan karmas which includes prayers (I am not defining what is good here), which can help in absolving the effects of sanchit karmas to an extent, and add points for agaami karmas. In any case, the most important purpose of prayers for a common man is to gain strength to suffer the adversities and to enjoy the good times.RegardsNeelam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 2, 2008 Report Share Posted November 2, 2008 Hello , Yantra,mantra, tantra do have effects in our life. But if they are included as NIMMIT only. I mean if u r destined to achivev somthing by doing remedies only then u will do and get benefit if u r not destined then all wil go in vain. EXample- Before Killing Ravana, ShriRam did chandi path ,yagya and also did famous surya stotra ( aditya hridam). See in horoscopical view of shri Rama its written that he will get power by doing this and then get victory.So NIMMIT was included in that victory or occasion. There r various remedies wriiten in naadi texts as nimmit to do or achieve what u r destined. So it clearly means that EVEN REMEDIES R FIXED AND DESTINED FOR PARTICULAR JATAK. If some one is destined to have sidhi of kali maa at age of 68 by doing chandi yagya ,then it will surely happen .BUT on other hand if he tries some other tantra mantra then he will not succeed bcz at with that siddhi ,niimit is AGE OF 68, CHANDI YAGYA ETC.... sO THing is to know your self, i mean SWA DHARMA.ONLY those person who r concious, awarred and know there own self can know there real nimmit and remedies only. thanks, dheeraj khosla , Mandar B <mandar_bh07 wrote: > > Dear Neelamji, > I agree with you totally on the views expressed.
