Guest guest Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Wendy ji, ///Without the knowledge of jyotish we are easily overwhelmed by the ups and downs of life. However, for those fortunate enough to be dedicated to this study, the winds of change become less fierce as we realise more and more the illusory nature of karma./// In " The Adventure of the Veiled Lodger " Sherlock Holmes says, " The ways of fate are indeed hard to understand. " With Jyotish, it is a lot easier! Of course, in the same story, Holmes also says, " The example of patient suffering is in itself the most precious of all lessons to an impatient world. " This, alas, is not so easy to follow at all times! ///Without doubt our strength to endure (without attachment) all that life holds is greatly increased through the study of this divine science./// When one sees that even Surya, with all the might he commands, can be easily swallowed by Rahu, one wonders--what of me, a mere mortal? This humbles us, and humility leads to detachment. ~~~~~~~~~ Balaji Narasimhan Author & Editor http://www.balaji.ind.in/ ~~~~~~~~~ ______________________________\ ____ Get your own web address.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Dear List, This message made me to recollect what was taught to me by my teacher, years ago, regarding predestination/karma vis-à-vis Jyotish. The law of karmas is inexorable. An individual seeing other persons prosper through wrong means and do not suffer, start to lose faith in the results of Karma. Here comes the infallible dasha scheme and yogas in a chart that reveal when and how the results of karma manifest. Those who are committing wrong deeds and prospering must be passing through the dashas, which are bound to give prosperity. The scenario changes upside down when that dasha ends. The sufferings start. A person's thoughts, actions and his behavior should be thoroughly seen to understand this. The adverse periods/dashas of an evil thinking person prove immensely malefic. On the contrary, a person of good conduct, his testing or malefic periods may remain malefic but lose its propensity to deliver malefic results. In good periods the evil thinking man gathers much wealth but the morally upright person appears to be stagnate. The evil persons floats all the traditions and scruples in his good dashas and gather whatever comes in his way, adopting wrong means, and ready to meet the worst, when malefic dashas start operate in his chart. A true astrologer can try to see all this from a chart, of course, with his own limitations and his personal understanding of this science.

Guest guest Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Dear Wendy, Thanks for the enlightening words! //Without the blessing of this divine knowledge, seemingly insurmountable sufferings such as ill-health, disappointments, separations, loss etc can easily overwhelm us// Very true. I started studying Jyotish from 2005 onwards and very quickly I have realized the truth in the above words. //I am strongly motivated by the analogy of giving a thirsty person a drink of water...a temporary measure at best! Far better to give the person the means to dig their own well and have water available whenever needed. For me, teaching jyotish is like this!// Right analogy and great service! Thank You!
