Guest guest Posted May 11, 2007 Report Share Posted May 11, 2007 Dear Group, Parashara (http://jyotishvidya.com/ch97.htm) says: *7. One, who reads, or listens with attention and devotion to this most excellent Hora Shastra, becomes long-lived and is blessed with increase in his strength, wealth and good reputation.* This statement is so profoundly true! 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. Suffering becomes more like lines drawn in sand that can quickly fade away rather than lines etched in hard rock that can torture us for years to come...long after the experience has passed. Without the blessing of this divine knowledge, seemingly insurmountable sufferings such as ill-health, disappointments, separations, loss etc can easily overwhelm us, and, what we find is that those who come from a culture steeped in jyotish tradition (particularly), will seek help (from a jyotisha) to relieve their suffering. 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! Without doubt our strength to endure (without attachment) all that life holds is greatly increased through the study of this divine science.
