|Sri Varaha| Book on Drig dasa and Spirituality: Hari

Namaste Hari,At 01:20 PM 11/3/03 +0000, you wrote:>May I know what are the other topics covered by you in this book?>Based on your lucid style of writing, I think that it will be>interesting to read the book.Thank you for asking about my book. The book has been about a year in progress at this point in time, and is finished, for the most part. I am, however, doing editing and trying to refine everything so as to ready for publication. I am hoping that the book is released sometime early this coming year.So far as topics: My book started out as a primer on Drig dasa. However, as the writing continued, I realized that there was a lot of foundational information that needed to be taught on the varied subject of spirituality before I could teach Drig dasa. So, the book consists of nine chapters, and is divided into two parts. The first five chapters (consisting of the first part) have to do with the origins of creation, much information on the Atmakaraka and other karakas, Paramatma and Jivatma, the karmas of the Jivatma, Vedic cosmology as described in ancient texts such as Srimad Bhagavatam and as it pertains to the horoscope, many yogas and combinations pertinent to spirituality, Sapta-loka and tala including the past and future lives by way of Drekkana analysis as well as analysis of the Punya (death) chart. There is discussion of Bhukta Tithi Sphuta/Rasis as was done on this list some weeks ago with many illustrations, many guidelines as to distinguishing features of the charts of saints and advanced spiritualists, and some other unique things regarding interpretation that haven't been written about before.The second half of the book goes into a step-by-step calculation and interpretation of Drig dasa, with many example charts which show the accuracy of this dasa system to time spiritual events in a native's lives. Some unique chart illustrations are given, such as timings when miracles occurred, Stigmata (mystical bleeding representing the wounds of Jesus Christ in Christian saints), and psychic healers such as Edgar Cayce. Finally, I have included a chapter on Vaishnava saints (three in number, including Sri Srimad A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada), showing the usefulness of Drig dasa in timing initiation (Diksa), and all other important events in the lives of such individuals. The concluding chapter is devoted to the charts of avataras Sri Krsna and Sri Caitanya, making use of the Kalachakra as a guideline to the delineation of yugas, the purpose of incarnation of such avataras, and unique features of such charts to outline Their advent for the establishment of dharma. This is the gist of it all, although there are many, many details that I couldn't list right now. Basically, I have attempted to show the fusion between Jyotish, a Vedanga, and the sacred writings of Bhagavad-gita, Srimad Bhagavatam, Vishnu Purana, and Padma Purana, among others.So, it has been a great project, and Sanjay has been very gracious in encouraging me with this every step of the way. I hope you like it, and thanks again for asking!Best wishes,Robert~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Robert A.
