In the afterword of "Nityananda--In Divine Presence" is a startling

astrological reading and loving tribute to Nityananda; you might enjoy

There is considerable interest today in Vedic astology, an ancient

Thank you for this! Is all of the last part from the book, or is some of

it your words?

Dharma and list,

So Say the Stars

 

There is considerable interest today in Vedic astology, an ancient science

prdating its Western counterpart by millenia. To this end readers may be

interested in a horoscope prepared for Captain hatengdi (one of the authors of

this book) in March 1970. (Incidentally, the Western word "horoscope" is of

ancient Greek derivation and refers to "looking at time.") In such instances,

sages with intuitive wisdom chart all possible permutations and combinations to

develop the pattern of a subject's life.

In India these are called Nadigrantha readings. Full of great detail, they

include the names and charts of individuals influencing the subject in good or

bad ways, often referring to previous incarnations. However, such readings are

primarily useful in understanding a subject's past and inherent tendencies.

Present and future predictions often prove unreliable because of the ongoing

play of human will and divine intervention. In Captain hatengdi's case, at the

age of 28 he was shown to meet a great being who would affect his life quite

favorable. There was a lengthy description of this being, which we include here

in an edited form.

He came to the world for the sake of his devotees, a great

yogi. Nothing is known of his birth or his age. he has fed

thousands of sanyasis and sadhus. While ever in samadhi,

he talks. While ever with the Atman, he is never in the

body. he talks directly to God. Long-limbed with a vibrant

personality, he sometimes goes naked and sometimes wears

a loincloth. Although few recognize him, he is God in human

form.

he is called by a name beginning with the letter N. he sits

near hot springs and a Shiva temple and does not engage

in outward activities, giving the impression of doing nothing.

Money he takes from his loincloth as needed. he removes

difficulties and occasionally prescribes medicines. Ignorant

people never see his true nature.

While these words cannot possibly relate his greatness, a

devotee will come in due course and describe him properly.

Others who write about him will succeed only if they are

inspired by him--and then only if he wishes it. Eventually

books will be written about him and many will make money

in his name.

At the time of this reading, he is no longer in human form.

His many devotees include highly evolved sanyasis and

members of rayalty. Numerous ashrams and shrines are

built in his honor--but he never recognized or initiated

disciples. No one was fit to receive the knowledge of God

from him. Although he has taken mahasamadhi, his

blessings remain with his devotees. When you think of him,

he is with you. Anyone who approaches him with purity of

motive is granted their wish.

How can we describe such a being? he might deliver harsh

words or actions, saying "Matti, matti--it is of no conse-

quence," but blessings always fall on the recipient. He

sees with equal-sightedness, treating everyone the same

regardless of social position. But people pursue him with

material desires--not with spiritual aspiritions. Still, his

guiding light is always available to both the devout and

the spiritual seeker. Sadly, most devotees never really

knew him. No one was powerful enough to succeed him

or receive what he could grant. But he still blesses the

devotees--and he remains without disciples.

 

Some of the most beautiful and inspiring devotional words about him came from a

horoscope--How very so like the master.

With Bhakti

Yes it is! In my experience this kind of information cannot be given by

the use of astrology alone. It takes an intuitive or psychic ability used

with the astrology. I've asked other American astrologers, and they say

the same thing.

 

Astrology shows cycles of various energies. It could be plotted in the way

people plot biorhythms - with sine waves intersecting and coinciding. But

with biorhythms you are dealing with only three lines... with astrology it

would be much more complicated. And when there is an aspect or a "high,"

it will be influential for some time before and after the time it's exact.

To give an exact day or time or to say exactly WHAT will happen takes

intuition, and the same can be said for looking into the past.

 

A friend of mine is excellent at prediction... she didn't realize that

what she was doing took psychic ability until I pointed it out to her. She

used to work as secretary for a Catholic church, and it got so the priests

would ask her when things would happen. Once she was on vacation and

told a man she met that his wife was pregnant. Later he wrote to tell her

that she was right, although neither he nor his wife had known it at the

time she said it. I said, "How did you know that?" She said, "Well, he

said his wife was a Virgo, and you know what's happening to Virgo now..."

And she went on talking about Mars transits and so on... I said, "Mary,

one-twelfth of the people on earth are Virgos." Her jaw dropped... she

said, "Oh yes..." then a big smile... "Well, I guess it WAS psychic!"

 

I'm not familiar with Vedic astrology... maybe much more can be done with

it. But it seems to me more likely that Vedic astrologers learn to use

their intuition as part of the process.

 

Love,

Hi Dharma,

Yes, that was taken word for word from the afterword of the book. This

reading was given to Captain Hatengdi without any knowledge of his involvement

with Nityananda. Amazing reading.
