[Guest guest]

Dear Chandrashekharji , Lalit and other esteemed members of the group, Can u please clarify if this story is true, then where does human free will exist or the remedies that vedic astrology prescribe...? Is there such a thing such as human free will or is everything predestined ...? Please shed some light.

into the terrace as he felt the room was a little suffocating. At the same time, a strong wind broke the pole and heavy wooden boar fell on the prince. Varaha means wild boar. From that day onwards Mihira came to be known as Shri Varaha Mihira. (Taken from astrojyoti.com)

Dear Sunita,

 

The story is true. However one has to remember that what Varaha Mihira

was talking about was the Dhridhamula karma the effects of which can

not be modified through remedial measures or exercise of free will in

appropriate manner. The parents to whom one is born, one's colour,

features, life span etc. come under this head. Then there is the

Dhridhaadhridha mula karma the effects of which can be modified through

remedies and appropriate behaviour or correct exercise of free will.

There is again the Kriyaman karma done in this life whose results one

gets in this life and that is also dependent on free will.

 

I hope I have been able to clarify the complex topic somewhat.

 

Take care,

Chandrashekhar.

Shri Varahamihira, who lived around

5th century AD, is believed to have played a dominant role in the

revival of ancient astrology.

Varaha

Mihira was earlier referred to as only Mihira. When the astrologers in

the palace of King Vikramaditya were asked to study the horoscope of

the Prince, all of them spoke about the possibility of a serious danger

to the life of the Prince at the age of 18. Astrologer Mihira not only

accepted the possibility but also added that the Prince would surely

die when he is 18 years old and that the death would be caused by a

wild boar on a particular date at a particular time. Knowing that

Mihira was a step above other astrologers, the King got worried. To

avert the grave possibility, the King constructed a special

multi-storied building into which the entry of any animal leave alone a

wild boar was impossible.

On the

predicted day, security arrangements were extraordinary. The King told

Mihira, "I will give you one last chance to reconsider your predictions".

But Mihira did not budge such being his faith in the science of

astrology. Mihira said that, "This is the punishment as announced by

the planets in the horoscope according to Karma or actions done by the

Prince in his previous life (lives). The results of the past life speak

out through the planetary positions at the time of birth."

The King

was very anxious and frightened and so every 5 minutes, the king sent a

servant to go up and check if the prince was safe. The servant would

come down and tell the King that the prince was safe and playing with

his friends.

After the

predicted time had passed by, the King asked Mihira to accompany him

and see for himself the prince playing with his friends.

Mihira

said, "I'm sorry, O King, but the Prince had died before five minutes."

The King along with others reached the 7th floor. To his utter dismay

he found on the open terrace adjacent to the room where the games were

being played, the prince lying in a pool of blood. Next to him was

found a wooden pole. On the end of the pole was a carved wooden boar.

The national emblem of the kingdom happened to be the wild boar. It was

the habit of the engineers to put up this symbol on all the tall

buildings of the King.

The

Prince had been playing with his friends. So when the king asked his

security guards to check the condition of the prince, they reported

what they had seen. Around the predicted time, the prince suddenly felt

an urge to go out into the terrace as he felt the room was a little

suffocating. At the same time, a strong wind broke the pole and heavy

wooden boar fell on the prince.

Varaha

means wild boar. From that day onwards Mihira came to be known as Shri

Varaha Mihira.

Dear Sunita, Chandrashekarji has very beautifully explained the complex theory of Karma in a few words Jyotish is not in the least about lack of freedom of choice (as is being currently made out to be the case by moneyminded parctioners of this noble science) Jyotish when practiced in the true sense gives a picture of the nature of the individual soul (in this particular incarnation on earth) Swami Yukteshwarji once told

Parmahamsa Yogananda: 'Reading the language of the heavens requires men of wisdom and they are few' Regards, aavesh Chandrashekhar <sharma.chandrashekhar wrote: Dear Sunita,The story is true. However one has to
