The Story of VarahaMihira !!! --- Clarfication -- thanks, and more questions

[Guest guest]

Thank you Chandrashekharji ! I have one more question, this happened with me personally. One of my close friends called me and asked if I could lend $ 2000 to him as he was in need. We agreed and gave it to him. Later, all of a sudden after 3-4 weeks he said he has already given us our money back through his services. Anyway, I just let it go, it's just money, God gave it to me and took it back. Couple of days later I was reading a article on the internet for various rashis, and for my rashi it said that don't lend any money because it won't come back to you. At that time was running Sun maha-dasa and Saturn antar-dasa ( Mar-Apr 2007). I have no grudges against him, I talk to him even today just the same way as I did before he did this. Now, my question is from astrological perspective, It is possible according

to my past karmas that I owed money to this person and he took it from me in this life. If that is true then I have repiad my bad karma , but how about this friend of mine, does he incur bad karma ...? If no, then same scenario can be applied for so many incidents in life that the one who is doing bad karma in the present life and hurting others ( are they just acting on behalf of the planets and punishing the ones who are being inflicted by unjust gestures) then do they ( the ones who inflict injustice) get effected or does their balance remains neutral...? When does person judge that he/she should fight for their right and when should one stay quite and take it as a result for his/her bad karam. Because our shastras also say that one who does not fight against injustice is also a participant of injust act. Please comment, I really would like to hear your opinion on this subject. It has happened

many times in my life that I am not certain how to react to situations. Rgds, SunitaChandrashekhar <sharma.chandrashekhar wrote: Dear Sunita,The story is true.

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.

Hello Sunita Didi,

 

It's a right qustion to ask.., I too never understand when we should

act against somebody and when we should keep quiet.

 

So, I prefer acting against immediately.

 

regards,

Lalit.

Dear Sunita,

 

Though in the case cited by you it is possible that you might have owed

money to somebody, in previous life for you to have lent it to someone

who does not return it, it need not be the same person to whom you owed

in the last life. Again just because you lost the money due to past

karmas, does not mean that in this life you should not try to recover

it as in this life the money does belong to you and getting it back is

the kriyaman karma, which can give you the results of recovery of the

money.

 

I know this sounds complex, but the theory of karma is a bit complex

and it is not necessary that you get the results of karma done only in

the past life that you get. The results may be of karmas in an even

earlier life. That is why the Lord says that the the speed of karmas is

very complex.

 

Take care,

Chandrashekhar.

Thank you Chandrashekharji. I am still not clear about the second part of my question, the individual who inflicts injustice ( or you may say one who is acting on behalf of the planets and reprimanding others) , how about his karma balance... is he/she adding to their positive/negative karma balance or is their balance neutral... ?

Dear Sunita,

 

A person inflicting injustice willingly is certainly adding to his

negative results of karmas, though in the process he might be squaring

the papa account of the one who is the subject of such injustice.

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.
