Guest guest Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 Yoga responsible for triggering transformation of oneself. Combination we are speaking of here. Off-hand I would say, no, there are none in classics. But yes, one handy example is MK Gandhi, who you have mentioned in the post. He started out pretty unremarkable, but as he went along life's tortuous path, he found his calling that was greater than a single individual's destiny, to fulfil which there was required in him what you may call transformation on a scale you have in mind here. Gandhi could achieve an astounding lot; but he couldn't achieve what he set out for: the India of his dreams. The India of My Dreams tells us how much voyaging he did, how much he observed and thought about Indian life. All that now trapped in a tome. Our netas are vying for his glasses, his watch etc to be handed back to India as its rightful national heritage. Well. Transformation. Are some births destined for such particular radical transformation? My Experiment... supplies the narrative of transformation: how MK found his mission and became Mahatma. Growth we hear of when we talk of the process of living life from phase to phase. But such ineluctability of change and karmic efflorescence (flowering of karma as in action or life's work) is remarkable. To my mind, the yogas mentioned in classics tell of how your sukrut from past lives via prarabdha unfolds, but what takes place in a lifetime is not just prarabdha, though for large part that's the story with almost all of us. However, there are events, at least happenstances that lie outside prarabdha, even they cannot be classed as usual kriyamana. I say, not usual kriyamana. A rough example could be an encounter with a siddha or elusive somebody who tweaks our life-trajectory in ways the placements of planets in our chart cannot account for. So much for yogas. That said, let me qualify. Up to the encounter, the chart can tell the tale – not what happens after. I know this will pique many. [Life is not merely the unspooling of prarabdha. Ditto for life as a whole. Life as history is a marvel of a myth. In man, his Maker is said to incarnate ("I'm the Arjuna among archers"). In man the finest is rendered worthless. In man the basest roars. Go no farther than Swat Valley, for now.] RK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 RK Daa Nice ! We have few more cases of proven transformations, Let's review horoscope of Vivekananda transformed by Thakur, Shubhash Chandra transformed by a unknown sanyasi of ramkrishna mission, Aurobindo Ghosh transformed by his inner calling though the call was triggered by Vivekanada in astral form and Raja Mansingh's mysterious yet victorious son who challanged AurangJeb and written chapter of Mugal era's end, AurangJeb could not win a single war against him, I happen to see one's his horoscope somewhere but couldn't note down. I believe, You will pick a case or two at least, an integral study is required. regards, Lalit.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Resp RKda, Namaskar. Again fine words sir, and well said. It is sometimes impossible to *pin* certain events and when astro analysts insist it could not have happened *like that* at that point in time, all you can say is, it did!!!! I have often been confronted by this paradox, when I have said time and again *no*. The next trajectory is that my birth time may have to be rectified!!! Over time it has ceased to matter... a time period when predictions and combinations seem less *meaningful* and when there are *certain truths* that not even Jyotish can unveil. Having said that let me also say that Jyotish does and has *lead* to finer "truths"... One only has to open "mano chakshus" to *see* those truths that are *eternal*. I can only think of one oxymoron- The Eternal transience. regards Nalini arkaydash <arkaydashVedic Astrologyandhealing Sent: Friday, 20 February, 2009 11:38:33 AM[Vedic Astrologyandhealing] Yoga for transformation, re Lalit's post Yoga responsible for triggering transformation of oneself.

Guest guest Posted February 21, 2009 Report Share Posted February 21, 2009 Dear lalit ji, Namaskar. Must confess I was responding to RKda's mail rather than any comment on your posts...
