Guest guest Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Namaskar RKDa, Present day Jyotish is rife with commercialisation (Recomending gems by professional Jyotishis has become the norm these days) !! There is nothing wrong with this approach, provided the best interests of the client are kept in mind. Energising the gems is an issue which is best left to experience Regarding Shani Maharaj,he is blamed for most of the present day ills as he has the Karakatwa of 'Dukha'.This is a very shallow approach as you rightly pointed out. There are very few Jyotishis who are doing Jyotish the way it should be done these days(guiding the querent on his choices and methods to improve his current state of mind for starters) More in my next mail Regards, aavesh rk dash <arkaydash wrote: Derar Asvesh, How can upaayas not work? They have to just as prayers do, I mean get answered. But the catch, I believe, is in prayer; that is to say, in remedies being prayerful or prayer-associated if not always exclusively prayer-based. Anything outside this liberal ambit is charlatanry, if not hokum. That is why exponents of 'graha ratna' enjoin abhimatraNa of stone before wearing. Now what happens when a gem is put to abhimatraNa? The so-called energisation of gems thru mantra is a feckless rationale that takes an amnesic detour of karmavad -- the underpining of astrology. It is not energisation that takes place, but a consecration of sorts where the ACT is expiation thru a plaint. In other words, prayer. As for the categories of karma, I know of the three-fold categorisation. There is an intermediary variety, which is neither dridha nor adrudha. It is known as dridhaadridha. The term is such that we are given hints to understand it as 'that which is dridha as well as adridha'. Now, this ('as well as') is a very rife ground for the play of human drama. It is this category that actually forces humans to grapple with life -- grapple, indeed, with destiny. Once you are brought face to face with destiny you try to figure which are the variables and which the ineluctables. How does it matter whether it WAS hubris or hamartia? In the process (of grappling), some grow wings, some grow scales. But why attribute the latter to Saturn! That would be very shallow astrology.

The issue of 'Remedial measures in Jyotish' (Upayes) In my experience, Upayes Certainly work The criterion applicable here is to understand the working of Karma. Karma can be divided into 'Dhrida' and 'Adridha' Karma in general. Upayes work on the Adridha Karma (Karma which can be changed by efforts) This is a huge subject in itself which requires thorough understanding of Jyotish,Hindu Philosophy,Ayurveda and Yoga Nalini :You have made an interesting point vis-a-vis the ability to bear sorrows. It would be wrong to blame 'Shani Maharaj' for all the sorrows afflicting humankind today (Shani Maharaj is a teacher who metes out sorrows in proportion to our Karmas) How we react to the sufferings is based on the soulic development of the individual I will continue after getting reactions on the above Regards, aavesh nalini swamy <nalini2818 wrote: Hare Rama Krsna Shree RK ji, Namaskar. Are you a lover of Greek (and Roman) tragedies as well?? I loved the tragedies of Seneca above all.. probably proclivity of Shani Maharaj.. Wow what a world it(was addicted to Greek and Roman literature since childhood) was which I hated to give up but had to after a while but not before taking it up for study for my PG. Coming to Jyotish, is it not very akin to the fear the Greeks had for 'hubris' and punishment from Gods?? How and what could one do to dispel this fear of the planets??? Is there really a remedy for the 'karma; accumulated or is the remedy more a strengthening of the' free will' to weather the storm, be more prepared for the onslaught, cling for life in the rapids, a respite from sinking into the bog.. How about the propensity of some 'charts' for suffering.. again a proclivity of Shani Maharaj? When I used to live in Chennai, I sometimes wondered at the pure laughter of my domestic help which rang out sometimes in the neighbour's house where she lived? If difficulties form the soul boy, did she not have her fair share then?? What is it then that gives that 'pure joy' ?It is not absence of difficulties then.. it is something that emerges from inside which is irrelevent to suffering, difficulties, penury, disease, worry? Or was that contentment.. no no it could not be for she was forever trying to make ends meet, poor mite!!! Shani Maharaj even if he gives suffering also tempers the 'steel' and also insulates it so that further shocks do not break the core.Who knows he may even make the native a sucker for 'tragedies' preparing him/her to 'enjoy' the tragedies that life may unfold. I am not being flippant here but probably better replace 'enjoy' with 'grin and bear'. I would love to participate in this thread if I may, and sorry RK ji, for intruding.. Regards Nalini rk dash <arkaydashVedic Astrologyandhealing Sent: Friday, 25 January, 2008 4:23:22 AMRe: [Vedic Astrologyandhealing] remedy experiences ---litsol Considerable idea, Shree Dheeraj. We hope we should be able to organise this kind of discussion here. The very fact of remedy being a source of ware-hawking is sort of preventing as much quality discussion of the discipline as we should be doing. 'Remdial jyotish' has, ironically, poked The Eye of Knowledge in its very eyes. I mean even non-remedial astrology has contracted the craze for happiness-shaping, like lifestyle-shaping. But there should be room for some ways out of the whiplashes. Well, sometimes karma unrolls that way. A line by Seneca comes to mind: 'Difficulties strengthen the mind, as does labour the body.' If we push the Western classical drift further, we can say: Yes, difficulties form the soul. But we need respite. Or do we need a good time in the name of absence of difficulties? Member Aavesh will add his reflections to this thread.
