People go through their whole lives chasing everything in the material world, and they fail to discover the greatest treasure of all, which is within them. Shut your eyes to the outside world. Direct your thoughts and words to the inside of you. The Master within you is the key to all the treasures in the world.
Rebirth is not a belief, it is a fact. According to Science, whatever effect emerging from a cause will have to merge with the cause ultimately. Similarly your mind is the cause for the birth and mind is existing because of the conscious cause. The mind has to merge with the consciousness (Paramatma). Then you are relieved from the cycle of rebirths.

Match Making in Indian Vedic Astrology

2011-11-29T11:21:00.001+05:30

Marriage is a very solemn binding for the bride and the groom. In India it is a very sacred occasion for the Hindus. The parents and the aged relatives of the boy and the girl to be married take great care before getting them engaged in wedlock as there is no turning back from the marriage vow. To ensure a long and happy married life, the ancient Indian sages and saints devised a method to check the matrimonial adaptability or marriageable compatibility which is called 'Marriage Matching' or 'Match-making'.

They devised the method of matching by Koota Agreement based on the Birth Stars of the boy and the girl. Originally they recommended 20 kootas. But out of these only 10 kootas are considered for the actual horoscope matching and in some parts of India only 8 kootas are considered. Hence it also popularly known as "Das Poritham" in Hindi or 10 Porutham in Tamil.

The 10 Kootas or the 10 Poruthams
According to Indian Astrological principles there are 28 Nakshathras (Stars) in an oval round called the zodiac and the Navagrahas (the nine planets ) which transit this Zodiac. This heavenly constitution exert their combined astral influences on human beings. The Kootas agreement is ascertained by examining the birth stars and the Janma rasis, of the boy and girl. Each koota has a specific role or a part to play.

Truth is beyond time and mind or space

2011-10-28T13:01:00.001+05:30

The quest to know God is the quest to know the truth. All identifications we hold in our minds - be it nationality, religion, race, or sex are but concepts in our mind. A concept is just another idea that we hold in our memory. These mental concepts, our limited identifications with the world outside, itself become the obstacle to know the truth, as truth is beyond time - it is beyond mind itself. Also, since words arise out of the mind, anything we say about the truth itself corrupts, dilutes and distorts the truth. Truth can only be experienced in silence, when time and mind cease to exist.

The Five White Poisons

2011-10-11T11:27:00.000+05:30

In 1962, Dr. Frank Logsdon, former pastor of the famous Moody Memorial Church in Chicago over the dinner table, he told a fascinating story of how he had had cancer and -- rather than going the medical route -- had gone to the Page Institute in Tampa, Florida.

At this Institute, he was told to remove five white foods from his diet, and to switch to a raw vegetarian/fruitarian diet. MEAT!

MEAT contains white fat! The average American meat eater puts over 50 pounds of fat (cholesterol) into their body per year! This fat clogs the arteries, ultimately causing the heart attacks and strokes that will kill approximately 50 percent of our population.

Meat is also the culprit in causing colon cancer, breast cancer, prostate cancer and other forms of cancer. Cancer is responsible for 33 percent of American deaths.

And meat is the primary cause of adult-onset diabetes, which kills 9 percent of our population. Meat also causes gout and arthritis and a host of other physical problems.

We are told that we need meat for protein and strength, but we are not told that the cooking of meat changes the molecular structure of the protein and renders the protein in meat unusable by the body. If we look to nature, we will find that there is not a single animal in the wild that cooks the flesh it eats! Seventeen years of research has revealed meat as it is produced today to be the single most dangerous food that we put into our body.
.
DAIRY is the second most dangerous substance we can put into our bodies for many of the same reasons. We are told milk is the perfect food, and needed for calcium. But we are not told that the pasteurizing of milk (heating it to temperatures of 160 degrees or higher) changes the calcium to an inorganic form, which cannot be assimilated by the body. Read Dr. Kradjians's letter to his milk patients:

In nature, no animal pasteurizes its milk... and no animal drinks the milk of another species, nor does it ever drink milk after the age of weaning. The only source of bad cholesterol (LDL) is animal products! ANIMAL PRODUCTS ARE NOT GOOD FOOD!!!

SALT is another white substance that creates untold physical problems and suffering. The body needs sodium, but it must be in an organic form in order to be usable by the body. Table salt, sodium chloride, is an inorganic sodium compound formed by the union of sodium and chlorine that is extremely toxic to the body, causing it to retain fluid in an effort to keep this protoplasmic poison in suspension and out of the cells.

SUGAR is the fourth white substance creating our physical problems. Sugar is so changed and concentrated from its original plant form... that it is actually a drug! Just 10 teaspoons (approximately the amount found in one soft drink) will immobilize the immune system by about 33 percent. Approximately 30 teaspoons of sugar will shut down the immune system for a whole day.

WHITE FLOUR has had all the good substances (bran and germ) removed during processing. Then it is bleached, sometimes with a bleaching agent similar to Clorox. Finally, they add some coal-tar-derived (carcinogenic) vitamins and it is sold to the unsuspecting public as "enriched." WHITE FLOUR IS NOT GOOD FOOD... IN FACT IT IS HAZARDOUS TO YOUR HEALTH!

In addition to these five white substances, we must also consider the impact of drugs on our bodies. Most people are aware of how dangerous alcohol and nicotine are to the body, but fail to realize that the caffeine in coffee, tea and soft drinks is also an extremely dangerous substance! Caffeine is called a stimulant because it excites all of the nerve endings in an effort to rid the body of this poisonous substance. If a person drinks over two or three cups of coffee a day on a regular basis, they will usually develop severe drug withdrawal headaches if they suddenly stop drinking it. Alcohol, nicotine and caffeine are dangerous drugs!

Now that we have briefly covered the substances that are creating most of our physical problems, let us look at the foods that nourish and heal our body.
The ideal diet for man is raw fruits and vegetables..
The reason one should maintain at least a 75 to 85 percent ratio of raw foods is that when food is cooked, almost all its nutritional value is destroyed. All enzymes are destroyed by cooking. Approximately 83 percent of all vitamins are destroyed by cooking and the heat changes protein into a form that cannot be assimilated. Cooking also reduces the organic minerals our body needs into an inorganic, unusable form.

In addition to diet, a lifestyle that includes exercise is an essential element to healthy living. Always do stretching exercises, deep breathing exercises and at least an hour of aerobic exercise each day.

FIVE ELEMENTS

2011-09-23T13:17:00.001+05:30

When we look to the beauty of nature, we find that five elements provide the foundation for the entire physical world. Ayurveda recognizes these elements–Space, Air, Fire, Water, and Earth—as the building blocks of all material existence.

Whether walking headfirst into a gale of wind or digging our hands into the soil, we possess an inherent familiarity with the elements. All organic and inorganic substances are combinations of these elements, be it a time-polished rock or a shiny piece of plastic. Every object is unique because it contains a varying ratio of the five elements.
Ayurveda also observes the five elements within the human body. We nourish ourselves with foods from the Earth, and eventually, our body returns to the earthly matter from which it came. Water is our life-sustaining nectar, making up more than 70 percent of our total body mass. Fire provides the body with heat and radiant energy and exists within all metabolic and chemical actions. Air flows freely throughout the body, giving movement to biological functions and feeding every cell with oxygen. Space is ever-present, humbly residing in the background, providing the other elements with an opportunity to interact in this way.
From an Ayurvedic perspective, the Water element encompasses more than the substance we call water. It also embodies the physical qualities, biological functions, and energetic properties of this element. For example, Water is liquid, heavy, soft, and cohesive. It governs all bodily fluids and is necessary for chemical reactions to take place in nature. On the subtler levels of the mind and emotions, Water relates to a calm personality and promotes love, compassion, and contentment.

The Five Elements explain why substances of the natural world are harmonious with the human body. We easily utilize plants, herbs, minerals, and water, because these substances are the same in composition and character to our own underlying make-up.

About Vaastu Science / Vaastu Shastra - Relation with Five Basic Elements:
We all agree that the whole universe is made up of five basic elements, the Earth, Water, Fire, Air and Space. Our body is also made up of these five basic elements of nature also known as panch-mahabhootas.

The panch-mahabhootas are related to our five senses of smell, taste, hearing, touch and sight. Any imbalance in our external and internal Vaastu translates into unhappy situations. Vaastu teaches the individual to live in balance and harmony with the panch-mahabhootas.

Prithvi (Earth)
Human beings have a natural and emotional affinity with the Earth. The Earth revolves around the Sun and has gravitational and magnetic force. Scientists have proved that earth is a huge magnet with two poles-North pole and South pole.

It has also been proved that the human body is a 'magnetisable' object with a large percentage of iron in the blood. As we all know, opposite poles of a magnet attract each other and same magnetic poles repel each other. The Vastu principle of placing the head in South direction while sleeping is based on earth's magnetic property.

Jal (Water)
After earth, water is the most important element. It is linked to our senses of taste, touch, sight and hearing. It is quantitatively the largest of the five elements, as more than 80% of our body and two-third of earth's surface is water. Most ancient civilizations came up close to rivers and water sources.

Vastu provides important information about the placement of water sources like wells, boring, underground water tank, overhead water tank etc, while planning the house. Positions for drainage of water, septic tanks, sewerage, drains etc. are decided carefully to optimize the benefits of water element.

Agni (Fire)
Sun is the most vital source of energy and light. It is the soul of the universe. Fire element "SUN" is related to our sense of sound, touch and sight. It is difficult to imagine life on earth without Sun.
When the Sun rays combine with water, they get additional benefits. it is, therefore, recommended to have a water source in North-East direction.

To block North-East corner of your building is depriving yourself of most beneficial rays of Sun and has adverse results. The ultra-violet rays normalize the metabolism of the body.

The ancient ritual of "Surya Namaskaar" wherein the beneficial rays of Sun become more potent when seen through fresh water offered to Sun god.

The late afternoon and evening Sun with the harmful infrared rays should be avoided. It is recommended by Vastu to have tall and big trees in the South so that harmful rays of Sun are blocked.

Vayu (Air)
The Air or Vayu is vital for our survival. Our sense of sound, touch and feel are related to Air. The air on earth is a mixture of various gases like nitrogen, oxygen, helium, hydrogen etc.

Oxygen is vital for human beings and nitrogen is essential for the growth of plant life which in turn provides oxygen.

Vastu recommends proper placement of doors, windows, ventilators, balconies, height of structure and placement of trees and plants for balancing the Air element within the structure.

Aakash (Space)
Vastu is the only body of thought that gives Space the status of a natural fundamental element. Vastu Shastra is, therefore, superior to any modern or traditional school of architecture in the world.
It is related to our sense of hearing, in a house, space element is related to the centre portion or the brahmasthan. It is important that brahmasthan be kept open and light. Any disturbances in the space element affects your growth.

Five Elements of Nature in our Body
Five Elements of Nature Air, Water, Earth, Space and Fire along with various other forces of Nature sustain life and maintain equilibrium in this Planet. Imbalance in any of these Elements of Nature leads to chaos. An invisible equation operates within and outside these Five Elements of Nature to maintain the equilibrium on this Planet.

These five Elements of Nature viz. Air, Water, Earth, Space and Fire exists in our body too. Like Nature, imbalance of any of these Elements of Nature in our body too leads to the destruction our health or life. Let us examine in detail, how these Elements function in our body.
(1) The Air:

Air occupies first place in our body. No living being can imagine surviving without the presence of air. A human body consists of two respiratory organs called Lungs. The principal function of Lungs is to transport oxygen from atmosphere in to the bloodstream and release carbon dioxide from bloodstream to the atmosphere. Any irregularity in the respiratory organs leads to death. I believe everyone agree to this point. Therefore, avoid smoking of cigarettes or any other form of harmful tobacco to keep your lungs healthy and last longer. Perform breathing exercises of Yoga called Pranayam every day under the guidance of an able instructor. Pranayam gives ample exercise to your Lungs, thus keep them healthy.

(2) The Water:

The second vital Element of Nature in our body is Water. Water occupies 68% space of our body in different forms of fluid. If the body is put to work, the water level of the body gets reduced. You need to refill the required amount of water to keep yourself healthy. Our body informs us about the requirement of water by different means. 99% of us do not understand its indication until our throat gets dry. Drying of throat and mouth is the last indication by our body to refill its water levels. Urinary inflammation, change of urinary color into red or yellow, bad urinal odour, too much of sweat from body, frequent headaches, drying of throat and mouth etc are the symptoms or indications by our body to refill its water levels. 99% of us drink water only when our mouth and throat dries up. Dr. Mantena emphasize on drinking 5 to 6 litres of water a day because the body loses 2 litres of water a day even by sitting idle without any work. People whose work involves physical activity should drink a little more water than prescribed 5 or 6 litres. But there should be a process of drinking water. If the water is not taken in a procedure, it will do more harm than the good. Do not drink water immediately before eating food, while eating food and after eating food. Drink water half an hour before and two hours after every food you take. Drink as much of water as u can after two hours and before half an hour of eating food. Drinking water during and immediately after eating food dissolves our digestive gases creating problems of indigestion as well as the nutritional enzymes of our food will be excreted from the body along with urine instead of reaching our blood cells.
(3) The Earth:

Third important Element of Nature in our body is Earth. Here Earth is referred to our food from soil. The earth provides us the food to survive. Take all the nutritious and healthy food on this planet, it comes out of soil. There is no better food for humans than the food derived from soil. All the vegetables and fruits are grown from the soil of the Earth. Therefore, soil food is the God made food for human beings. When our ancestors in the past moved out of the jungles in search of their livelihood, they got away from the vegetables and fruits. In order to survive, they had to switch over to animal food in the absence of vegetables. But today, thanks to the development of infrastructure, every fruit and vegetable is available at our yard steps. Still we are ignoring the God gifted food like vegetables. Eating more volume of vegetable curry with less volume of rice is always recommended because the vegetables possess the substance that cleans our intestines. Eat Healthy and Live Healthy.
(4) The Space:

The fourth important Element of Nature in our body is Space or Vaccum. You need vaccum for everything in your body. Need vaccum to eat food, need vaccum to transfer the food to bloodstream etc. Naturopathy suggests eating less and living healthy. You may wonder how? Well… the logic is simple. Identify that food which contains more proteins, vitamins, minerals and all other enzymes and eat them in less number. There is a proverb in Telugu, “Okka saari tine vadu Yogi! Rendu saarlu tine vadu Bhogi! Moodu saarlu tinevadu Rogi” which means a person eating once is a Yogi (master in Yoga), person eating twice is a Bhogi (the one who enjoys all the fruits of sacrifice) and the person who eats thrice is a Rogi (a patient). There is a popular belief in India that the volume of food for humans is predetermined by the God in the Heavens. Once the determined volume of food is consumed by him, he will be taken away from Earth. The digestive system of a body too needs rest. The less you eat, the more it relaxes. This helps in increasing the resistance levels of your body which in turn keeps you away from diseases. Our ancestors had experienced and proved this fact. If you look at the Yogi’s and Sadhu’s living in penance at Himalayas, there were evidences that they lived for and above 100 and 150 years of age. Many Saints have sacrificed their soul and entered into Jeeva Samadhi at their will. If we look back to our grand parents we still find them healthy and doing all their work themselves. That is because they ate less and ate well. Creating a vaccum in the stomach is always beneficial for the body. Dr. Mantena Satyanarayana Raju recommends fasting at least once a week to keep the body clean and healthy. According to him the body has an automatic self cleaning mechanism. Once the body is kept on fasting for a day or two, it cleans itself and relieves you from diseases on its own. Fasting increases the resistance capacity of your body which in turn keeps you away from diseases.
(5) The Fire:

Fire is the fifth and final Element of Nature in our body. Fire refers to as Energy or Strength. We need the fire power to work and stay fit. The absence of fire in our body leads to ill health. The God has given this wonderful Element within our body, which increases the more you spend. You get more energy the more you work. If you observe the people whose work involves severe physical activity are comparatively stronger than the people who work at offices under Air conditioners. In India, among large sections of the community there is a misconception about health. Many feel health is actually connected to wealth. Therefore, people who look big in size are considered healthy because they afford to eat all the expensive and healthy food. But the fact is totally different. Physical activity of our body is must to gain strength. It can be done either by way of exercises or by any other work which involves physical activity.

As long as the man maintains equilibrium of these five Elements of Nature in his body, he remains safe and healthy. The moment he creates an imbalance in any of these Elements, he suffers. When ever there is imbalance in any of these five Elements of Nature we see havoc like Earth Quakes, Storms, and Drought etc. When ever a human tried to disturb the nature of these Elements, he paid for it weather it might be his planet or his body. In order to stay fit and healthy do respect and follow the rules of the body. Perform regular Pranayams to keep control of respiratory system, Drink 5 to 6 Litres of Water a day in the above prescribed manner, Eat healthy and hygienic food derived from the mother soil, Eat less and Keep on fasting atleast once a month to create vaccum in your stomach and work hard physically to gain strength. Those who follow these simple things need no doctor through out his life.

How to be Happy and Joyful

2011-09-15T14:33:00.000+05:30

Have no negative beliefs about money, and look upon money as an essential tool to be used wisely. Be happy to live within means, while at the same time strive for greater material abundance in contentment. Maintain the right relationship with money, which is you being the master and the money remaining as faithful servant.

Give up judging and defining others in terms of what they own Have no feelings of superiority over people who are not as financially abundant . At the same time, do not feel inferior and jealous of other people’s financial prosperity. Respect and revere people for the inner qualities they exude and not so much for their external attributes such as money, power, position and status.

I am not the doer

2011-09-15T14:30:00.000+05:30

An actor plays many roles on screen, yet when he retires from his work and goes home, he is no longer identified with the roles he is playing. Similarly, as I go through life, I take new roles, and give up old roles. I may play various roles such as being a child, a spouse, a parent, an employee, an employer, a teacher, a friend etc. None of the roles that I play define and limit me - I remain completely independent of the many roles I play.

I am thus not the doer of my actions. This does not mean I am not responsible for my actions. This also does not mean I can resort to inaction. I perform dynamic action without the sense of “I did it”. I am grateful to my source for giving me the abilities due to which I am able to act and serve others. I accept the fruits from my actions in humility as a gift from the divine. I thus give up the need to take personal credit for everything I do and achieve, for that is only my ego exercising it’s existence.

In giving up doer ship, I burn my past karma, stop accumulating new karma, and thus progress spiritually. When I act without my ego, no action can bind me. In giving up doer ship, I give up my deepest form of identification and ignorance - that I am the individual doer of my actions. In thus “getting out of my own way”, I allow my higher self, the pure consciousness, the spirit, to shine it's brilliance through me.

INTENSITY OF YOUR ASKING MANIFEST WHAT YOU WANT AND WHAT U DO NOT WANT

2011-09-15T14:29:00.000+05:30

in your life. Consequently, two type of things show up in your life 1) What you really, really, really want and 2) What you really, really, really do not want! Thus, if you are NOT strongly for or against something, it is less likely to show up in your life. The key to manifesting the things you want is thus having intense passion for all the things that you want, while at the same time giving up all resistance towards the things that you do not want.
You cannot fly by thinking of staying on the ground. You cannot swim by thinking of drowning. You cannot save money by thinking about all things you want to buy. You cannot lose weight by thinking of eating high calorie foods. You cannot create good health by thinking of all the ways you can get sick. You cannot be a topper in school by thinking of getting failing grades. In the same way, you can never create a happy life by consistently thinking of things that are making you feel bad. If you want to create a happy life, your thoughts need to be shift from things that make you feel bad to things that make you consistently feel good.

2011-09-15T14:28:00.000+05:30

You become what you do every day.

For example:
• You smoke everyday, and you become a smoker.
• You drink everyday, and you become an alcoholic.
• You overeat everyday, and you become obese.
• You neglect your health every day, and you become sick.
• You neglect your relationship every day, and it turns sour.
• You spend beyond your limits every day, and you become poor.
• You practice being unhappy every day, and you become depressed.
Likewise:
• You exercise everyday, and you become fit.
• You sing everyday, and you become a singer.
• You run every day, and you become a runner.
• You write everyday, and you become a writer.
• You eat moderately every day, and you maintain healthy weight.
• You think business every day, and you become a businessman.
• You work diligently every day, and become successful in your career.
• You save and make your money grow every day, and you become wealthy.
• You read a little every day, and you become knowledgeable on that subject.
• You spend quality time in your relationship every day, and develop healthy relationships.
• You practice being happy every day, and you become a happy person.
• You strive for spiritual growth every day, and you grow spiritually.

Everything that is part of your life became so because you have been meditating upon it consistently. People who are very good at what they do find a way to consistently do the things they are passionate about without taking long absences from it. Thus, if there is something that does not serve you that you wish to eliminate from your life, simply find a way to do it infrequently until you completely stop doing it. Conversely, if there is something you want to develop within yourself, find a way to do it every day, and one day it will become a natural part of you.

The day to take charge and create the life you want is thus today

You are not your body - you have a body.
You are not your mind - you have a mind.
You are not your intellect - you have an intellect.
You are thus something other than your body, mind and intellect

How to make life better

2011-09-15T11:28:00.001+05:30

All of us are more conscious in some areas of life, and less conscious in other areas of life. The areas of our life that work best are the the ones in which we operate more consciously. Thus, If you are conscious of your health, your health is likely to be good. Similarly, if you are conscious of the money you earn/save/spend/invest, you financial house is likely to be in order, and so on for every area of life.

You cannot make an improvement in the areas of life that you are unconscious about. In being unconscious, you are no better than the person lying down in the operation table under the influence of anesthesia.

This “unconsciousness”, is what is termed as “ignorance” in many spiritual traditions. It is the blind spots that we have with respect to how we are thinking, feeling and acting in self-sabotaging ways. The key to improving our life thus starts with bringing more consciousness to different areas of life, and the goal of all spiritual paths is just that - becoming more conscious of our thoughts, emotions and actions as each day goes by.

Moorthy pooja

2011-09-15T11:14:00.000+05:30

Why do we pray to stone idols when God is everywhere? How can stone be a intermediary between God and man? "

We keep photographs of our loved ones like romantic partners, children, parents etc, in our wallet, purse, office desk, on our mobile phones, or on our computer screens right? The photograph is just printed paper, or digital pixels, and not our loved ones. When our loved ones are far away, we see their photograph to make up for their absence. We do not think - “Oh that this only a piece of paper, or pixels of screen”. On the other hand, when we see the photo, our heart warms up and it feels as if our loved ones are in front of us. Using the photo as a intermediary symbol, we serve our purpose - which is to connect with our loved ones in our heart.

In the same way, most people find it easier to perceive God having some name and form, as the nature of the mind is to associate with names and forms. The devotee creates an idol of God as a symbol he can personally relate to. He uses the idol as an intermediary to connect with his beloved God in his heart, just as we use photographs to connect with our loved ones. This is usually done in followers of Bhakti Yoga, where a personal God is advocated. Another example of a symbol is the profile picture we put up on facebook. In the absence of the person in front of us, the profile picture helps to relate to the person better. Although we all know it is just a set of pixels, most of us would agree that a facebook profile with a picture looks better and is easier to relate to as compared to a profile with no picture.

This is not to say that you have to have a symbol for God. Followers of Vedanta have no need for a symbol for God. The Vedantin reaches out to God via rigorous, analytical study of the meta-physical realities that is expounded in the scriptures. Instead of an idol to visualize, he attempts to grasp God via his intellect, understanding Him to be the divine, formless, eternal, immutable consciousness that dwells within each one of us.

MAKE LIFE WORTH LIVING

2011-09-03T11:54:00.000+05:30

GOOD HABITS TO BE HEALTHY

Need to have physical exercise for minimum of 45 minutes daily.

Eat your food at perfect timings, like how you eat during your school days.

Eat in small quantities more times and have lot of vegetables and boiled food, try to avoid fry items and oily food. Fish is good than other non-vegetarian food.

Sleep for 8 hours a day, this count should complete before sun rising.

Stop smoking.

Genetic problems, we can not avoid but we can get away form it by having regular checkups.

Find a way to get relived from the stress (Yoga, Meditation . etc).

It is in your hands to turn the situation up side down, by just planning / changing your life style, by following simple points above. Life is worth living and GOD gives you life only once.

The MAIN CAUSES of LIVER DAMAGE are:

1. Sleeping too late and waking up too late are the main cause.

2. Not urinating in the morning.

3. Too much eating.

4. Skipping breakfast.

5. Consuming too much medication.

6. Consuming too much preservatives, additives, food coloring, and
artificial sweetener.

7. Consuming unhealthy cooking oil. As much as possible reduce cooking oil use when frying, which includes even the best cooking oils like olive oil. Do not consume fried foods when you are tired, except if the body is very fit.

8. Consuming overly done foods also add to the burden of liver. Veggies should be eaten raw or cooked 3-5 parts. Fried veggies should be finished in one sitting, do not store. We should prevent this without necessarily spending more. We just have to adopt a good daily lifestyle and eating habits. Maintaining good eating habits and time condition are very important for our bodies to absorb and get rid of unnecessary chemicals according to "schedule." Because:

Evening at 9 - 11pm : is the time for eliminating unnecessary toxic
chemicals (de-toxification) from the antibody system (lymph nodes). This time duration should be spent by relaxing or listening to music. If during this time one is still in an unrelaxed state such as socializing, drinking, eating out, this will have a negative impact on health.

Evening at 11pm - 1am : is the de-toxification process in the liver,and ideally should be done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 1 - 3am : de-toxification process in the gall, also ideally done in a deep sleep state.

Early morning 3 - 5am : de-toxification in the lungs. Therefore there will sometimes be a severe cough for cough sufferers during this time. Since the de-toxification process had reached the respiratory tract, there is no need to take cough medicine so as not to interfere with toxin removal process.

Morning 5 - 7am : de-toxification in the colon, you should empty your bowel.

Morning 7 - 9am : absorption of nutrients in the small intestine, you
should be having breakfast at this time. Breakfast should be earlier,
before 6:30am , for those who are sick. Breakfast before 7:30am is very beneficial to those wanting to stay fit. Those who always skip breakfast, they should change their habits, and it is still better to eat breakfast late until 9 -10am rather than no meal at all. Sleeping so late and waki ng up too late will disrupt the process of removing unnecessary chemicals. Aside from that, midnight to 4am is the time when the bone marrow produces blood. Therefore, have a good sleep and don't sleep late

LAW OF ATTRACTION

2011-09-03T11:21:00.001+05:30

The book "Secrect" reveals:
Money, relationships, career, anything your heart desires is ready to fulfill your life. All you have to do is ask the Universe, and the Law of Attraction is The Key. There is a universal energy from which all things are made. This energy fills the entire universe. Mankind has the ability to create a thought and cause the subject of the thought to be created within this field of Universal Energy. To manifest something new, simply hold an image of what you seek in your mind. And express gratitude to the Universe for having granted this to you. To achieve wealth, apply this same principle – hold a clear vision of the wealth you hope to attain. Then express gratitude that this wealth is coming to you. You must have unwavering faith and devout gratitude. All that you include in your mental image will come to you through the physical realm – through the process of natural ways such as trade and commerce. To claim this wealth, you must be active. You must do all that you can do each day to make this vision a reality. Especially strive to deliver to others something of value greater than what they paid you for. And the riches they receive will be in the exact proportion to the definiteness of their vision, the fixity of their purpose, the steadiness of their faith, and the depth of their gratitude.

Simple science which everyone knows:
Peer within yourself and you’ll find that you’re made of molecules. Peer further
and these molecules are made of atoms.
What are atoms?
Atoms are the basic building blocks of matter that make up everyday objects. A desk, the air, even you are made up of atoms!
There are 90 naturally occurring kinds of atoms. Scientists in labs have been able to make about 25 more
Atoms are made out of three basic particles
Protons -- carry a positivie charge
Neutrons—carry no charge found in 1932
Protons and netrones join together to form the nucleus the central part of the atom
Electrons – carry a negative charge and circle the nucleus i.e. protons and neutrons

Inside the protons particles called quarks found by scientists in 1968 there are 3 quarks in each protons which are held together by a particle called gluons-
elementary particles dancing a cosmic dance.
But go one step deeper and now you’re no longer matter – but energy.
Everything is made up of this Universal Energy. Including you.

If everything is made up of energy, and this energy is what we call God, or Higher Consciousness – then you are part of The scientist Steve Grand wrote the following:

Think of an experience from your childhood. Something you remember clearly, something you can see, feel, maybe even smell, as if you were really there. After all, you really were there at the time, weren’t you? How else would you remember it?
But here is the bombshell: you weren’t there. Not a single atom that is your body today was there when that event took place….Matter flows from place to place and momentarily comes together to be you. Whatever you are, therefore, you are not the stuff of which you are made. If that doesn’t make the hair stand at the back of you neck, read it again until it does, because it is important.

You are energy in physical form. Or, to use a spiritual concept – you are a soul within a physical body – a particle of God.
Forget the religious definition of God for a moment. Think of God as an all encompassing Universal force. The energy that makes up the universe. A rock may look like it’s still, but within it are trillions of subatomic particles whizzing about and brimming with energy. The rock is pure energy and movement – it’s solidity and stillness are purely an illusion.
God. Like every rock, every animal, every tree, every planet spinning around every distant star.

This Universal energy is so powerful it can manifest or destroy anything within. Anything u think can be got from here. Your strong thought plus emotion should be true and should go and hit this Universal energy and also u should have the faith and gratitude also. Utmost faith can bring infront of you whatever u want from this Universal energy. U can call it as ur GOD or ALMIGHTY.

You, too, are pure energy – but with one difference. You are conscious of yourself. This self-awareness, when directed, can allow you to dictate what experiences you choose to bring into your world.
That which you think about, you create. Thoughts are things! And that which you think about, good or bad – you create into your own reality.
We all work with one infinite power. We all guide ourselves by the same law. That one law is the Law of Attraction. That which you think about – you attract into your life.
The law of attraction is always working. You can never escape it. You’re attracting everything that comes into your life. When you understand this law – you understand The Secret – and you can now dictate what you choose to come into your life.
We become what we think about!

BHAGAWAD GITA

2011-09-03T10:30:00.000+05:30

The Bhagavad Gita ("Song of God") is the essence of the Vedas and Upanishads. It is a universal scripture applicable to people of all temperaments, for all times. It is a book with sublime thoughts and practical instructions on Yoga, Devotion, Vedanta and Action. The Bhagavad Gita has influenced many great thinkers over the years.
• Why do you worry without cause? Whom do you fear without reason? Who can kill you? The soul is neither born, nor does it die.
• Whatever happened, happened for the good; whatever is happening, is happening for the good; whatever will happen, will also happen for the good only. You need not have any regrets for the past. You need not worry for the future. The present is happening...
• What did you lose that you cry about? What did you bring with you, which you think you have lost? What did you produce, which you think got destroyed? You did not bring anything - whatever you have, you received from here. Whatever you have given, you have given only here. Whatever you took, you took from God. Whatever you gave, you gave to him. You came empty handed, you will leave empty handed. What is yours today, belonged to someone else yesterday, and will belong to someone else the day after tomorrow. You are mistakenly enjoying the thought that this is yours. It is this false happiness that is the cause of your sorrows.
• Change is the law of the universe. What you think of as death, is indeed life. In one instance you can be a millionaire, and in the other instance you can be steeped in poverty. Yours and mine, big and small - erase these ideas from your mind. Then everything is yours and you belong to everyone.
• This body is not yours, neither are you of the body. The body is made of fire, water, air, earth and ether, and will disappear into these elements. But the soul is permanent - so who are you?
• Dedicate your being to God. He is the one to be ultimately relied upon. Those who know of his support are forever free from fear, worry and sorrow.
• Whatever you do, do it as a dedication to God. This will bring you the tremendous experience of joy and life-freedom forever.

Be afraid of nothing. Hating none, giving love to all, feeling the love of God, seeing His presence in everyone, and having but one desire - for His constant presence in the temple of your consciousness - that is the way to live in this world."

Vigyan Bhairav Tantra : First Meditation technique

2010-09-28T10:52:00.000+05:30

Radiant one, this experience may dawn between two breaths. After breath comes in (down) and just before turning up (out) -- the beneficence.

That is the technique: Radiant one, this experience may dawn between two breaths. After breath comes in -- that is, down -- and just before turning out -- that is, going up -- the beneficence Be aware between these two points, and the happening. When your breath comes in, observe. For a single moment, or a thousandth part of a moment, there is no breathing -- before it turns up, before it turns outward. One breath comes in; then there is a certain point and breathing stops. Then the breathing goes out. When the breath goes out, then again for a single moment, or a part of a moment, breathing stops. Then breathing comes in. Before the breath is turning in or turning out, there is a moment when you are not breathing. In that moment the happening is possible, because when you are not breathing you are not in the world.

Understand this: when you are not breathing you are dead; you ARE still, but dead. But the moment is of such a short duration that you never observe it. For tantra, each outgoing breath is a death and each new breath is a rebirth. Breath coming in is rebirth; breath going out is death. The outgoing breath is synonymous with death; the incoming breath is synonymous with life. So with each breath you are dying and being reborn. The gap between the two is of a very short duration, but keen, sincere observation and attention will make you feel the gap.

If you can feel the gap, Shiva says, the beneficence.

Then nothing else is needed. You are blessed, you have known; the thing has happened. You are not to train the breath. Leave it just as it is. Why such a simple technique? It looks so simple. Such a simple technique to know the truth? To know the truth means to know that which is neither born nor dies, to know that eternal element which is always. You can know the breath going out, you can know the breath coming in, but you never know the gap between the two. Try it. Suddenly you will get the point -- and you can get it; it is already there. Nothing is to be added to you or to your structure, it is already there. Everything is already there except a certain awareness. So how to do this? First, become aware of the breath coming in. Watch it.

Forget everything, just watch breath coming in -- the very passage. When the breath touches your nostrils, feel it there. Then let the breath move in. Move with the breath fully consciously. When you are going down, down, down with the breath, do not miss the breath. Do not go ahead and do not follow behind, just go with it. Remember this: do not go ahead, do not follow it like a shadow; be simultaneous with it. Breath and consciousness should become one. The breath goes in -- you go in. Only then will it be possible to get the point which is between two breaths. It will not be easy. Move in with the breath, then move out with the breath: in-out, in-out. Buddha tried particularly to use this method, so this method has become a Buddhist method. In Buddhist terminology it is known as Anapanasati Yoga. And Buddha's enlightenment was based on this technique -- only this.

All the religions of the world, all the seers of the world, have reached through some technique or other, and all those techniques will be in these one hundred and twelve techniques. This first one is a Buddhist technique. It has become known in the world as a Buddhist technique because Buddha attained his enlightenment through this technique. Buddha said, "Be aware of your breath as it is coming in, going out -- coming in, going out." He never mentions the gap because there is no need. Buddha thought and felt that if you become concerned with the gap, the gap between two breaths, that concern may disturb your awareness. So he simply said, "Be aware. When the breath is going in move with it, and when the breath is going out move with it.

Do simply this: going in, going out, with the breath." He never says anything about the latter part of the technique. The reason is that Buddha was talking with very ordinary men, and even that might create a desire to attain the interval. That desire to attain the interval will become a barrier to awareness, because if you are desiring to get to the interval you will move ahead. Breath will be coming in, and you will move ahead because you are interested in the gap which is going to be in the future. Buddha never mentions it, so Buddha's technique is just half. But the other half follows automatically. If you go on practicing breath consciousness, breath awareness, suddenly, one day, without knowing, you will come to the interval.

Because as your awareness will become keen and deep and intense, as your awareness will become bracketed -- the whole world is bracketed out; only your breath coming in or going out is your world, the whole arena for your consciousness -- suddenly you are bound to feel the gap in which there is no breath. When you are moving with breath minutely, when there is no breath, how can you remain unaware? You will suddenly become aware that there is no breath, and the moment will come when you will feel that the breath is neither going out nor coming in. The breath has stopped completely. In that stopping, THE BENEFICENCE.

This one technique is enough for millions. The whole of Asia tried and lived with this technique for centuries. Tibet, China, Japan, Burma, Thailand, Ceylon -- the whole of Asia except India has tried this technique. Only one technique and thousands and thousands have attained enlightenment through it. And this is only the first technique. But unfortunately, because the technique became associated with Buddha's name, Hindus have been trying to avoid it. Because it became more and more known as a Buddhist method, Hindus have completely forgotten it. And not only that, they have also tried to avoid it for another reason. Because this technique is the first technique mentioned by Shiva, many Buddhists have claimed that this book, Vigyana Bhairava Tantra., is a Buddhist book, not a Hindu book. It is neither Hindu nor Buddhist -- a technique is just a technique. Buddha used it, but it was there already to be used. Buddha became a buddha, an enlightened one, because of the technique. The technique preceded Buddha; the technique was already there. Try it. It is one of the most simple techniques -- simple compared to other techniques; I am not saying simple for you. Other techniques will be more difficult. That is why it is mentioned as the first technique.

KAAL SARPA YOGA & EFFECTS

2010-09-22T13:51:00.000+05:30

Kaal Sarp Yoga
If all the 7 planets are situated between Rahu and Ketu then Kaal Sarp Yog is formed. Therefore it is essential that such natives should arrange for remedy of Kaal Sarp Yog so that lucky planets of the horoscope could render favorable results.

According to the situation of Rahu in 12 houses of horoscope there are Kaal Sarp Yogas of 12 types. These are

1. Anant, 2. Kulik, 3. Vasuki, 4. Shankhpal, 5. Padma, 6. Mahapadma,
7. Takshak, 8. Karkotak, 9. Shankhchud, 10. Ghaatak, 11. Vishdhar and
12. Sheshnag.

The Kaal Sarp Yog is of two types- Ascending and Descending. If all the 7 planets are eaten away by Rahu's mouth then it is Ascending Kaal Sarp Yog. If all planets are situated in back of Rahu then Descending Kaal Sarp Yog is formed.

If all houses situated between Rahu and Ketu have planets then Kaal Sarp Yog is fully effective. If Sun or Moon is present with Rahu or Ketu then this yoga is more lethal. If Rahu, Sun and Moon are all situated together then Grahan Kaal Sarp Yog is formed. This is 1000 times more powerful. For such a native it is essential to arrange for remedies and shanti of Kaal Sarp Yog.

If in horoscope all 7 planets are between Rahu and Ketu but partially few planets are outside the axis of Rahu and Ketu then Partial Kaal Sarp Yog is formed. If only one planet is outside the axis of Rahu and Ketu then also Partial Kaal Sarp Yog is formed.

The effect of Kaal Sarp Yog

The native having Kaal Sarp Yog suffers from mental unrest, hurdles in

gain of wealth, barriers in having children and uninterrupted disputes in married life. Usually the native sees bad dreams. Different fears and worries persist. The native does not get full reward of his talents. Normally the success in work is delayed. Sudden loss of money or prestige is an indication of this yoga. The native without any reason suffers from diseases that are not cured by medicine.

The prescribed remedies of Kaal Sarp Yog can give relief from these problems. According to horosope whenever the mahadasha or antardasha of Rahu/Ketu comes then Kaal Sarp Yog is more effective. The transit of Rahu and Ketu through Rahu or Ketu or Moon of natal chart also makes this yoga more influential. At that time remedies or worship carried out with devotion are highly useful. You can also lit lamp of mustard oil for 43 days before Kaal Sarp Yog Yantra to get rid of troubles and to ensure all round development.

MESSAGE OF SRI SRI RAVI SHANKER

2010-03-29T11:32:00.000+05:30

H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar

Unless you have had unpleasant moments in life, how will you recognise and enjoy the pleasant moments?

In life, everything is impermanent. Turn back and see - all that you did is like a dream now. You cried, wept, got angry and became agitated. But that didnt stay with you forever. All has passed, the whole thing is finished. In future, you may become the mayor of the town, or rise to the highest position, or have a lot of wealth. So what? That will also pass. Nothing stays forever. This very moment will also pass. See the impermanence in every moment. See the impermanence in everything.

In life, God gives you a pinch of unpleasantness every now and then. This makes you aware of the pleasant moments. Suppose you have never had unpleasant moments in life, how would you ever know the pleasant ones? It is because you have experienced unpleasantness, you can value pleasantness. Every pinch that you are having in life is for the best, to make you strong and capable to face challenges. This is what makes life lively and enjoyable. If you had only pleasant times, your life would stagnate with utter boredom. You would become like a stone. So in order to keep you alive, nature gives you a little pinch now and then.

Nothing is permanent - whether pleasant or unpleasant, it will also pass. Just turn back and tell me very honestly, every time you had a difficulty, were you not taken out of the difficulty? Any time you had some problem, you got a helping hand. You were picked up.

You might have heard stories of people who were stuck in some problem/disaster, but they still came out of it. There are stories of people who were drowning in the river where there was nobody to help and they dont know how they were saved. I dont mean that you should jump into the ocean and see whether somebody takes you out! All I want to say is that you dont have to be afraid in life, because there is always support.

You see, there is purpose in life. Otherwise why are people born and why do they go through all that they are going through? Are you born just to pay your bills? If you are born just to pay your electricity and phone bills and your taxes, life is not worth living. You work so hard day and night; the whole week is spent madly working, coming home tired, eating and sleeping, etc. Again the next day is the same. Weekends have become another routine, a change in routine that is all. It is the same gossip, the same movies and the same types of conversation.

If youre awake, then you will see there is impermanence in everything around. Just watch when four or five people get together and talk, have a gossip session. It is great fun! In a gossip session, people keep changing their topics. If ten people are talking about the weather and you change the topic to stock markets, everybody will immediately talk stock markets, whether they know about it or not. And then from stock markets you change to health food. They will not have completed the previous topic but they will jump on to this topic!

Being aware of this impermanent nature of your life, you find that there is something in you that has not changed. And also, you become aware of the changing nature of happenings. There is a reference point by which you can say things are changing. That reference point is the source of life. Getting to that reference point is wisdom. With wisdom, your life improves.

(H.H. Sri Sri Ravi Shankar is the founder of the Art of Living)

Mind

2010-01-20T11:51:00.002+05:30

Where is your mind located?

Traditionally modern science has placed our mind squarely in our brain, assuming that since our brain does the function of “thinking”, the mind must be there as well.
There has now been extensive research on the presence of mind in our bodies, that suggests that the Neuropeptides, chemical substances that form the communication network of our emotions, are present not just in the brain but everywhere in the body while the brain remains the primary analyzer, our mind is not located there and is instead more like an information-processing field spread across the body. Every cell in our body is capable of feeling; every cell can express emotion. No wonder then, people’s thoughts, emotions and expressions sometimes change after undergoing an organ transplant.

Mystics and sages, however, have always maintained that our mind is not confined to our body, much less our brain. To the spiritually accomplished, our mind is beyond space and time. Mind, in fact, is all of creation. In other words, this universe of ours is mind-made.

New experimental findings by a Swedish group of scientists has now challenged our convenient assumption that our mind is located in our brain. In their studies, the mind can be “tricked” into believing that it is in another body, even a mannequin. Here’s the interesting article:

Perceptual Illusion of Body Swapping

If our mind can be fooled into thinking that it is in another body, why would it be so difficult to believe that even now we are being fooled into believing that our mind is purely in our body? That, perhaps, the ancient mystics were right all along when they said that the mind is beyond space and time?

What is Mind & Where is It Located
The whole world is perceived through five senses - seeing, hearing, taste, smell and touch and there cannot be any object which is beyond the periphery of these senses. Think of anything which you have never seen, never heard, never tasted, never smelled and never touched. You may run the horses of your mind day in-day out, but you will not get any answer. So, we can say that all thoughts in our mind or simply ‘the mind’ is nothing but the permutation-combination of the inputs through these senses and these all inputs which are being perceived in the present or have already been perceived in the past or past lives are stored in our sub conscious mind or the ‘Chitta’.
Chitta is the store house of all the perceptions in the form of experiences and these impressions of experiences, whether good or bad, are called samskaras.
These samskaras once made remain there forever till this mind exists not for one life but till the salvation happens. Every individual on this earth comes with this baggage of samskaras-‘impressions of past lives’ which is the root of the different thought processes amongst all. Therefore, this whole thought process in any individual is because of relation of sensory inputs and the samskaras and that is the reason why all individuals think different on seeing the same object. For example, by seeing roses in the flower pot, a teenager may think of presenting a rose to his girlfriend and to have a kiss in return. Whereas, a painter may think of its colours, the depth, the petals, the beauty and would just get engrossed in its contouring. A horticulturist, on the other hand, may think of its species, the genetic engineering behind and how it was nurtured while for a devotee, it would only remind him of his deity or Guru to whom he may offer these.
Hope now it is clear to you that this whole world is perceived through mind. So, anything related with this world is created by your mind or to say ‘you’.
Now if we relate this to our daily life then this me, mine, attachment, greed, anger, hatred, pride, egotism, passions, desires are all because of this mind. So this whole garbage of lust, anger, passions to say a few is created by you.
Now people ask - how to come out of anger? How to remove attachments? And this list goes on and on and on.
Well, if you have created something, then only you can come out of it.
This is in the habit of mind that it creates a web, then gets entangled in it and then starts trembling to come out of it and when it fails then it looks for help. And most of the time it looks for help in its own created web and gets more entangled.
It’s only the enlightened master who has the power to rescue. Master gives the sword of wisdom by which you can cut this web and come out of it.
Our scriptures say that mind is the cause of pain and this mind itself will be the cause of liberation. It is because of the ignorance of this mind that it gets entangled in this world which is created by it self. On the contrary, by understanding it, knowing it and transcending it, one can attain salvation. Whenever there is a knot, the knot can be opened in the same place but the only problem is that this knot does not know that it is a knot.
That is the reason why a living master is needed in this life to unknot this knot of ego, entanglements and pain.
Mind divides itself into three things: the observer, the object and the observation. It identifies itself with the observer first i.e. the body; then perceives objects as different from itself and due to the process of observation it creates different relationships with those objects.
Mind is like a monkey. A monkey may sit idle but a monkey bitten by a serpent can never sit idle and that is the condition of the human mind which is bitten by the serpent of desires. It keeps on moving here and there looking for the worldly pleasures, it always keeps munching on one thing for long thus, creating lust, greed, attachments etc, it keeps on jumping from one branch to another i.e. changing relationships, shifting from one mood to another. Monkey also has a unique habit of mimicking. It tries to mimic others no matter good or bad and the same goes for the mind. If other has a luxury car then it has to have a luxury car. If other has a big brick house then it has to have a similar house no matter how hard it is to get there. And the list is endless. You know it better.
Now the question arises where this bitten monkey - ‘the mind’ located anatomically?
Is it in the brain? You dissect it and try to find out. Is it in the heart? What happens when one goes through an open heart surgery? If it was located in the heart, the surgeon would have come to know everything in that mind. So where the hell is it located?
If mind was an organ, then its infections would have been - attachment, desire, greed, anger, lust, pride, egotism, I-ness etc and any such infection could have been easily treated through right medication or surgery.
This proves that mind is not an organ either. And, it is surely not something which a normal human being perceives.
Mind is very subtle and is located in the whole body in each and every cell and atom of this body and also outside the body. Mind is that invisible power that keeps on doing its work uninterruptedly and we can certainly gain command over this power – through awareness and consciousness which leads to an ever blissful state. The key for which is given by a true master.

The Subtle bodies

2010-01-19T11:05:00.002+05:30

Subtle Body Energies: The Seven Subtle Bodies
There are seven subtle bodies, or layers, around the physical body, which create the auric body system (aura). It is commonly said that these layers are like an onion, and that when you peel one away, you'll reach the next, but this is not true. As you extend inward, the one before is also present within the next aura layer. For example, the outer most body is the causal, or Ketheric body. The next is layer is the celestial body, which contains itself and the causal body. As you go inward, towards the first layer (the etheric) it will be the densest because it holds all seven subtle bodies. And of course, there is the physical body, which is the densest of them all.
The seven subtle bodies can be broken down as follows: There are three physical plane bodies, three spiritual plane bodies and the astral body, which is the bridge between the lower and higher bodies (some teachings claim that the astral is the fourth in the spiritual bodies). The lower three bodies process energies dealing with the physical plane, whereas the upper three process energies from the spiritual planes. Ịt is said that the energies from the higher planes must pass through the "fire of the heart" - the heart chakra-- to reach and be of full use by the lower bodies.
Each level of the aura has its own seven chakras, which are nested within the other auric chakras. As each layer extends outwards, the chakras vibrate at higher rates. So the seven chakras within the etheric body will be vibrating at a much lower frequency then the seven chakras within the causal body. So in actuality, the base chakra, for example, will have 7 major chakras, all vibrating at different frequencies. This way, energy can be transmuted between all bodies to all chakras.

First Layer (The Etheric Body)

This is the closest energy body to the physical. It is what is made evident through Kirlian photography. The etheric body extends one quarter to two inches beyond the physical body and pulsates at about 15-20 cycles per minute. The entire body, including organs, can be perceived but it is made of a bluish (emotional) or gray light (highly active).

Second Layer (The Emotional Body)

Since this is the emotional body, it is associated with feelings. It is more fluid in nature, and does not duplicate the body, as does the etheric body. This body is about one to three inches from the physical body. Unlike the etheric body, which is blue or grayish in nature, this is more like colored clouds that change color depending on what kind of emotions the person is going through. Love, joy, excitement, and even anger will result in very brilliant hues, whereas confused emotions will result in muddy tones. This body contains all the colors in the rainbow.

Third Layer (The Mental Body)

With an even more subtle composition, the mental body holds our thoughts and mental processes. It extends three to eight inches from the body, and generally has a yellow light, which radiates around the head and shoulders, and extends to the body below. This yellow will brighten if a person is deep in thought, or concentrating on mental activities. Although the color associated with this body is yellow, other colors are evident if there is an emotion associated with the thought (stemming from the emotional body).

Fourth Layer (The Astral level)

This is the true bridge to the spiritual plane! When we start to work with this plane, and above, our perception and abilities leap from the physical to the subtle. Here we will begin to perceive energies that are not of this vibrational frequency. The body of the astral is composed of gorgeous clouds of color, which extend six inches or one foot from the body. Not only does it have the same colors of the rainbow like the emotional body, but a pink, or rose hue is often present with these colors, especially if the person is a loving one. The astral plane is also called the "emotional" plane, which ties it strongly to the heart chakra and the second subtle body (the emotional body). Because it is so closely tied to the emotions, when people fall in love, great hues of pink can be seen shooting from their heart chakra. This is also why when we are in the astral, our emotions are greatly enhanced either way. When I am with my love in the astral, it is generally free of any lower body emotions, and our love is able to flow, without restriction.

The Fifth Layer (The Etheric Template Body)

This is what you would call a template for the lower template body (the first body referenced). This is the template that exists before the physical body is formed. Although this co-exists in a different dimension, it also extends one and one half to two feet from the body and can only be seen by clairvoyants and very advanced healers. This is an important layer in healing if the lower etheric body becomes disfigured as this is the true building block to the lower etheric. This template has a dark blue hue to it.

The Sixth Layer (The Celestial Body)

This is the spiritual emotional plane where a person will feel things such as bliss, and spiritual ecstasy. When we reach the place of divine love, interconnectedness (generally through deep meditation) we are touching on this plane, which is felt through our celestial body. When we raise our level of awareness, or consciousness, to the sixth level of the aura, we have allowed a connection to happen from the heart chakra and the celestial chakra. Through this, we can love not only our fellow man (the heart chakra) but do so with divine love (celestial chakra). The colors of this body are very soft in nature (pastel) and glow softly from the body.

The Seventh Layer (The Ketheric Template or Causal Body)

This is the mental level of the spiritual plane (whereas the celestial body is the emotional level of the spiritual plane). This body contains all the other bodies within it and extends up to three and a half feet from the body, often in the shape of an egg. Its structure is made of a gold, or silvery-gold, and appears as a grid type structure, which is very durable. It pulsates and vibrates at a very high speed and within this level; we "know" we are one with God. This body also contains the main Kundalini force that runs up and down the body.

Now while the Ketheric body is the last auric level in the spiritual plane, there are other planes (such as the Cosmic plane) but they do not relate to the aura for they are beyond the aura and a different article entirely!

2009-11-17T14:59:00.001+05:30

Pray Lord Ayyappa during Mandala Puja and get blessings. All Doshas of shani is taken care with pooja and prayers to Lord Ayyappa and Lord Hanuman.

You can also visit Sabarimalai Temple during these days.

Kerala is a land of temples; perhaps the best known pilgrimage destination in Kerala is Sabarimala, high up in the Sahyadri Mountains (Western Ghats). Sabarimala Sri Dharmasastha Temple is the most famous and prominent among all the Sastha Temples. It is believed that "Parasurama Maharshi" who retrieved Kerala from the sea by throwing his axe, installed the idol of Ayyappa at Sabarimala to worship Lord Ayyappa.

The pilgrimage begins in the month of November and ends in January. The temple attracts pilgrims not only from the southern states of India, but also from other parts of the country and abroad.

The shrine gets thronged with devotees especially during the main pilgrim season from November to January.

Mandalapooja(Nov.17th)and Makaravilakku(Jan.14th)are the two main events of the pilgrim season. The temple stays closed during the rest of the year except for the first five days of every Malayalam month and during Vishu (April).

Certain customs are to be strictly observed if one has to undertake a pilgrimage to Sabarimala. A pilgrim attending the Mandalapooja should observe austerities for 41 days. During this period, the pilgrim should abstain himself from non- vegetarian habits and cardinal pleasures.

How to Meditate

2009-10-23T13:40:00.002+05:30

Trying to withdraw from your five senses:
You are sitting ready, first just relax for a couple of minutes, then start, first intensifying the use of each sense then shut if off suddenly. Do this with each sense one at a time starting with the most used, usually sight. Look around the room noticing as many details as possible, fill up your sight. Then close your eyes and keep them closed as you listen to the soundscape. Hear as many details as possible then stop listening and try to ignore all sound. Now just use your sense of touch. Feel as much as you can without getting up or doing anything. Focus only on this sensation, how does the chair feel, how does your skin feel against your clothes, how do you feel inside, etc. Then try not to feel anything, just smell if you can for a moment, then focus only on taste if you can taste anything at the time, even just the taste of your own mouth if it has one. Doing this gets you out of the external world of the five senses so you can look inward and helps to keep the sense from disturbing you with bits of external information. Now look around the room with your eyes closed seeing with the same vision you see your dreams with. Just imagine you're looking around the room seeing it in your mind's eye, see as many details as you can, then shut it off. This last one does two things; it exercises your visulation ability, which makes life's tasks easier. It also helps ensure you won't be overly disturbed by your own imagination or thinking processes. Now you start to meditate. To get into the Alpha, try to feel and encourage that nice relaxed feeling you get when you're falling asleep, but don't go all the way to sleep. Remember this gets easier with practice till you can do it at will. Stay like this for a few minutes trying not to think without trying not to

Go deep into your self and bring everything out. Be like an objective analyst observing a specimen possibly imagine how your situation would appear to someone else. The problems will come up on their own. In order, starting with the worst. You will work on them one at a time for as long as each one takes, days, months or years. Use all of your intelligence on it, list all of your ideas for it's resolution, come up with suggestions of things that might help. Give your higher self something to work with. Once you have exhausted your mortal and material thoughts on it your super human thoughts can start.. You can be emotionally attached to a problem, be ready to give it up completely.
If you count out loud when counting something it will be easier for the mind to keep track. Or if you want to wake up at a certain time you can tap you head on the pillow that many times and it will be more impressed on the memory than if nothing physical corresponded with the memory placement. Now in that same way, use your visualization to see yourself getting rid of the problem in a physical way. Example; imagine that you put the problem in a box and throw it off a cliff or into a furnace. Or imagine that you somehow got it into a computer and erased it. Use your creativity. Also, just doing this every day will impress on your lower self that something is really happening, and you're serious about this.
Now you pray to God knowing that you have tried and you believe your will is the same as God's will at least on this one subject. It doesn't have to be the God of church or any particular idea, just have faith that help will come from some kind of higher power.

CONDITIONING OF MIND FOR MEDITATION

2009-10-16T12:11:00.000+05:30

HOW TO CONTROL THOUGHTS
Presence of Mind: Start practising to bring your mind present in all objects and actions that you look and do. Constantly do observe each of your thought and action. Each simple action you do in every second can be remembered if you practise to keep your mind present there with the action. This practice not only makes your action perfect but also helps you to remember what you did, when u did and where u did. This constant practice makes your mind concentrate on each object and action and thereby your thought remains always one at a time.. Then you are constantly concentrating. Means you can control your mind whenever you want to meditate on any one thought of action and that thought will be the strongest and the most perfect result giving one for you. Slowly you can become thoughtless and in a blissful state of tranquility. Though it is very easy to express but very difficult to practise. Not an impossible one also.

KNOW YOUR BRAIN WAVES BEFORE MEDITATION

2009-09-05T12:25:00.003+05:30

________________________________________
BETA, ALFA, THETA AND DELTA STATE OF MIND

Beta is the so-called conscious level of mind. Alpha and Theta form the subconscious regions of the mind's operation, and Delta is the unconscious region of thought activity. These states form the spectrum of mind operation.

your brain waves operate at a level called Beta where they mainly oscillate between 14 to 30 cycles per second.
As your mind relaxes and disconnects somehow from the external material world - like when you're daydreaming or meditating, or watching a movie - you enter a more focused, expanded state of awareness where brain wave patterns are mainly composed of Alpha brain waves oscillating at between 8 and 13 cycles per second.
When relaxing even more, your mind enters a region that correlates with a large relative quantity of brain wave patterns of 4 to 7 cycles per second. This is the Theta zone of the mind. The Beta level corresponds to a focus of concentration by the mind upon the outside or perceptually separated world, and the Alpha and Theta levels correspond to a more internally focused, self-reflective state.

Each human being experiences the Theta level for a fleeting moment every night before the mind dips down from the Beta level of awareness (awake state), to the Delta state (brain waves of less than 4 cycles per second: deep sleep), and passes rapidly through the Alpha and Theta states to enter the profound sleep level, where consciousness of self is totally lost, and where even dreams do not occur. (When dreaming, a sense of self is necessary and the mind has to go back up to the Theta or Alpha state.)
Delta is the level of the mysterious universal mind. It is the level at which the differentiated self (ego) expands to become undifferentiated and operates outside of the confines of linear time/space.

Alpha, Theta and Delta (sleep) are defined as "altered states of consciousness," as opposed to Beta, which is considered to be a fully conscious state. They are so called because it is necessary to alter one's state of consciousness from the fully awake state (Beta), to either Alpha, Theta or Delta (sleep), which are all progressive states of expanded awareness and thus are subject to less vibratory interference from the biological brain.
Beta is the so-called conscious level of mind. Alpha and Theta form the subconscious regions of the mind's operation, and Delta is the unconscious region of thought activity. These states form the spectrum of mind operation.

Small children function mainly at the Theta, Alpha and Delta states of mind, as do animals. Human adults operate mostly at Beta.

While the ego (awareness of self) is present and one is in the Beta, Alpha, or Theta state, all levels of the mind operate at once. One only concentrates more on one level than on another, showing therefore more brain wave patterns pertaining to the one band of operation the mind concentrates upon. Nevertheless all patterns are always present, defining life. It is only at death that this spectrum disappears.

In a nutshell: As the mind focuses upon the external (perceptually separated and material) world, it is at the Beta level. When the mind focuses and increasingly concentrates self-reflectively upon itself and its inner processes, it climbs in awareness from Alpha to Theta, and finally to Delta.

BHAGAWAD-GITA

2009-08-13T11:32:00.002+05:30

The Bhagavad-Gita consists of 18 chapters. Each chapter is called a yoga. Yoga is the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the Ultimate Consciousness. So each chapter is a highly specialized yoga revealing the path of attaining realization of the Ultimate Truth. The first six chapters have been classified as the Karma Yoga section as they mainly deal with the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the Ultimate Consciousness through actions. These chapters are:

Chapter 1 : Visada Yoga
Chapter 2 : Sankhya Yoga
Chapter 3 : Karma Yoga
Chapter 4 : Jnana Yoga
Chapter 5 : Karma Vairagya Yoga
Chapter 6 : Abhyasa Yoga

The middle six chapters have been designated as the Bhakti Yoga section as they principally are pertaining with the science of the individual consciousness attaning communion with the Ultimate Consciousness by the path of devotion.

Chapter 7 : Paramahamsa Vijnana Yoga
Chapter 8 : Aksara-Parabrahman Yoga
Chapter 9 : Raja-Vidya-Guhya Yoga
Chapter 10 : Vibhuti-Vistara-Yoga
Chapter 11 : Visvarupa-Darsana Yoga
Chapter 12 : Bhakti Yoga

The final six chapters are regarded as the Jnana Yoga section as they are primarily concerned with the science of the individual consciousness attaining communion with the Ultimate Consciousness through the intellect.

Chapter 13 : Ksetra-Ksetrajna Vibhaga Yoga
Chapter 14 : Gunatraya-Vibhaga Yoga
Chapter 15 : Purusottama Yoga
Chapter 16 : Daivasura-Sampad-Vibhaga Yoga
Chapter 17 : Sraddhatraya-Vibhaga Yoga
Chapter 18 : Moksa-Opadesa Yoga

Lord Krishna spoke the Bhagavad-Gita on the battlefield of Kuruksetra in 3102 B.C.; just prior to the commencement of the Mahabharata war. This date corresponds to 1700 years before Moses, 2500 years before Buddha, 3000 years before Jesus and 3800 years before Mohammed. So first and foremost it should be clearly understood that the eternal knowledge of the Bhagavad-Gita has not been influenced by Buddhism, Christianity, Hebrewism or Islam; for these religions did not exist at that time and were established milleniums later.

LIFESTYLE

2009-08-13T11:24:00.001+05:30

For healthy life, the lifestyle should also be considered along with the diet. We can control the diet to a considerable extent. But we cannot control much of the lifestyle. It does depend on others, but whatever lifestyle is under our control, if we try to control it properly, we can become more and more healthy.

One should get up at Brahma Muhurta. It means one and half-hours before the sunrise. At this time, the ozone necessary for the body is adequately present in the atmosphere. The activities of the entire world and especially of the living beings are yet to be started so the pollution is at its minimum. The cheerful atmosphere does have an effect on the body and the mind. Every one should get up in the morning and try to take benefit of this.

While determining the time of getting up, one should take into account the time of retiring to bed too. Generally, seven hours sleep is sufficient. People who can sleep deeply without disturbance can do with just 5 to 6 hours' sleep. Common people dream during the sleep and face the problem of disturbance from time to time; hence for them seven hours' sleep is needed. This seven hours' period and the time for getting up should be correlated so that it is convenient. One should get up before the sunrise and keeping that in mind should decide the time to go to bed.
After getting up from the sleep, kardarshan (viewing the palm of the hand) is advised:

Karagre Vasate Laxmi : karmadhye Saraswati |
Karmule tu Govind : Prabhate kardarshanam ||

Laxmi, Saraswati and Govind reside on the palm, so one should bow to them with respect, this is the logic behind kardarshan. Of course, with common sense point of view, to get hold of Laxmi ( money ) and Saraswati ( knowledge ) is in our hands only, to remind one of this principle is the main logic behind kardarshan. Also, our eyes are closed throughout the night, if suddenly they are opened up in the morning and the atmosphere is viewed, then there may be some strain for the eyes, so one should put both the hands onto the eyes after getting up, so they do not suddenly come into the contact with the atmosphere.

After kardarshan, there should be bhoomivandan ( bowing to the land ). Our life depends on the land, before touching it with the feet, one should apologize to that shakti (Energy Principle).

After having slept for six to seven hours at night, one should not get up suddenly in the morning and start his daily work. One should sit peacefully and think about what is good for him. One should plan his entire day program at this time. Mind is very calm and enthusiastic when one gets up. The capacity to think from all the angles is at its maximum at this time. So also there are spiritual aspects of contemplation, which accrue.

After the bowel movement, there should be Ushahpan (Drinking Water). Nowadays, people are not even aware of it. They feel that bed tea and ushahpan (Drinking Water) are one and the same. Tea, as it is, is harmful to health. Bed Tea is even more harmful. Ushahpan (Drinking Water) helps improve the health. Drinking water stored overnight in a copper utensil, which is covered, in the morning is ushahpan (Drinking Water). This water helps the excretion tendency and purifies the intestines in the body.
After abhyanga(bath), personal upasana (prayer, meditation etc) is important. Due to such upasana, the mind becomes cheerful and the spiritual power increases. The mental strength starts growing and there is confidence in the life. One should take guidance as to which prayer should be done and in what manner. But no doubt it proves useful.
Also half an our pranayam is a must. Kapalabhati is the best.

A minimum half an hour daily walk is also must either in the morning or in the evening alongwith other stretching exercises.

BREAKFAST LIKE A KING, LUNCH LIKE A PRINCE AND SUPPER LIKE A PAUPER should be the order of intake.

In the evening, one should consume only liquids, not solid diet, because that lengthens the dinnertime. The dinner should be around sun set. Because it is good for health to have an interval of three hours between the dinner and retiring to bed. To sleep immediately after dinner is injurious to health. The dinner should be minimal i.e. easily digested. It should not contain heavy preparations.

Pray God before going to sleep for a better tomorrow

A Memorable verse of Bhagawat Gita

2009-06-11T10:43:00.002+05:30

KARMANYEVADHIKARASTHE MA PHALESHU KADACHANA
MA KARMAPHALHETYBHOORMA THE SADGOASWAKARMANI

YOUR RIGHT IS TO WORK ONLY
BUT NEVER TO THE FRUIT THEREOF
LET NOT THE FRUIT OF ACTION BE YOUR OBJECT
NOR LET YOUR ATTACHMENT BE TO INACTION

(Bhagawad Gita chapter 2, verse 47)

MANTRA OF HAPPINESS

2009-06-01T10:39:00.000+05:30

Never regret a day in your life. Good days give you happiness and bad days are only experiences. Both are essential in life. So enjoy every moment of life and always be happy. Approach day to day life with priorities and be practical. You will always feel satisfied at the end of the day.

ASTROLOGY AND ITS EFFECTS ON HUMAN SOULS

2009-05-08T10:51:00.000+05:30

The science of astrology has always had an association with the notion of karma. In the opening verse of the 5,000 year old vedic text, Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, the ancient Sage, Maharishi Parasha, tells us that:-
"The Unborn Lord has incarnated as the nine planets, the Nava Grahas, to bestow on the living beings the result due to their karmas. He assumes the auspicious form of the Grahas (planets) to destroy the demons and to sustain the divine beings."
The great Sage then goes on to describe to us the eternal science of astrology and effect of the planets on the destiny of the incarnating soul.
This work is said to be the fountain head of Vedic astrology. It is the bible of this ancient subject and is an indispensable study for both student and practitioner. It would take a lifetime of dedication to master the astrological rules outlined in this great work, and indeed, it is doubtful if one would ever master it, for the true mastery of astrology can only be accomplished by one who has transcended the three gunas, the ego, and the limitation of human thought processes. The entire subject of astrology is a description of our karmic destiny and the vicissitudes of our temporal existence in this world. If we are not firmly anchored in the stability of divine truth, then we are subject to the fluctuations and fickleness of our own minds.

HOUSES OF EXALTATIONS & DEGREES

2009-05-05T13:12:00.001+05:30

Uccha, Moola Trikona, Swasthana, and Neecha of planets.
When placed in certain houses the planets are said to be in Uccha or in exaltation. A planet is in the best condition when he is exalted. The next best placement is called Moolatrikona, followed by its Swasthana or own house, followed by Mitrasthana or friends house and the worst condition is Neecha or Debilitation. The following are the placement conditions of the planets.
Sun is exalted in Aries upto the 10th degree. In the 10th degree he is in deep exaltation. After that it is his Moolatrikona. In Leo upto 20 is his moolatrikona and after that it is his own house.
Moon is exalted in Taurus upto the 3rd degree. In the 3rd degree he is in deep exaltation and after that it is his moolatrikona house. Karka is his own house.
Mars is exalted in Makara upto 28 degrees. In the 28th degree he is in deep exaltation. After that it is his Moolatrikona. In Mesha upto 12 degrees his moolatrikona and after that it is his own house. Vrischika is also his own house.
Mercury is exalted in Kanya upto 15 degrees. In the 15th degree he is in deep exaltation. After that the next 5 degrees are his Moolatrikona and after that his own house. Mithuna is also his own house.
Jupiter is exalted in Karka upto 5 degrees. In the 5th degree he is in deep exaltation. After that it is his Moolatrikona. In Dhanu upto 10 degrees his moolatrikona and after that it is his own house. Meena is also his own house.
Venus is exalted in Meena upto 27 degrees. In the 27th degree he is in deep exaltation. After that it is his Moolatrikona. In Libra upto 15 degrees his moolatrikona and after that it is his own house. Vrishabha is also his own house.
Saturn is exalted in Tula upto 20 degrees. In the 20th degree he is in deep exaltation. After that it is his Moolatrikona. In Kumbha upto 20 degrees his moolatrikona and after that it is his own house. Makara is also his own house.
Rahu and Ketu There is a controversy about their exaltation etc as they do not really own any houses. In fact the were ignored in this regard in some of the major shastras. However several other later generation authors generally agreed that Mithuna and Dhanu are the exaltation houses of Rahu and Ketu respectively, Vrishabha and Vrischika are their respective Moolatrikonas and Meena and Kanya are their respective own houses.
Neecha or Debilitation: All exalted planets get debilitated in the opposite seventh house from their point of exaltation. The highest point of debilitation is the exact opposite of the highest point of exaltation. After that the debilitation effect is not there.

KUJA DOSHAM (MARS DOSHAM)

2009-04-21T10:28:00.000+05:30

There is no Kuja-dosham in any of the following case and Mars does not harm.

KUJA DOSHAM
The great Saint-Astrologers of ancient times mentioned in a slokam : ARKA, INDU KSHETHRA JATHANAM KUJA-DOSHO NA VIDYATHAE; SVA, UTCHA, MITHRA BHAJATHAANAM PEEDKO NA BHATH KUJA :
1. If Mars is in his own house; Mesham (Aries) and Vruschikam (Scorpio) are own houses for Mars
2. If Mars stays in one of his friends’ houses, Kuja dosahm is not applicable; Karkatakam (Cancer) is own house of Moon (Chandra); Simham (Leo) is own house of Ravi (Sun); Dhanasu (Sagittarius) and Meenam (Pisces) are own houses of Guru (Jupiter).
3. If Mars is in the own house of Sani; namely Makaram (Capricorn) and Kumbham (Aquarius).
4. Mesham (Aries), Karkatakam (Cancer), Thula (Libra), and Makaram (Capricorn) are movable signs (chara-raasis); if Mars stays in one of these houses and that chara-raasi (house) is 1, 2,4, 7, 8, 12th house from the house of birth (Lagnam) or the house of moon (raasi) or the house where Sukra (Venus) stays, there is no Kuja-dosham; Mars does not harm.
5. If Moon and Kuja are together in the same house, there is no Kuja dosham.
6. If Sani (Saturn) & Kuja (Mars), or if Kuja & Raahu or if Kuja & Kethu pair in same house.
7. If Mars & Guru (Jupiter),or Mars & Budha (Mercury) are together in the same house. Or if Guru or Budha are aspecting (seeing) Mars.
8. If a person is born in Karkatakam (Cancer), or Simham (Leo), or Makaram (Capricorn) lagna
9. If Mars is in 2nd house from the houses of Guru (Jupiter), Budha (Mercury) or Sani (Saturn).
10. If Sani (Saturn) is aspecting (seeing) Mars (Kuja).
11. If lagnam (birth house) or Moon (Chandra) or Sukra (Venus) is in the houses of Venus (Sukra), Vrushabham (Taurus) or Thula (Libra), and if Mars is in 4th or 7th house from the above.
12. If Mars is in 2nd or 12th house from lagnam (ASC) or Chandra (Moon) or Sukra (Venus) and those houses are own houses of Budha (Mercury), Mithunam (Gemini) or Kanya (Virgo).
13. If Mars (Kuja) is in 4th or 7th or 12th house from Lagnam (ASC) or Chandra (Moon) or Sukra (Venus) and those houses are own houses of Sukra (Venus), Vrushabham (Taurus) or Thula (Libra).
14. If Mars is in 8th house from lagnam, or Moon or Venus and that 8th house is the own house of Guru (Jupiter), Dhanasu (Sagittarius) or Meenam (Pisces).
15. The 7th house from lagnam (birth house=ASC=ascendant) is the house of spouse (kalathra); if Mars (Kuja) is in 7th house, the spouse may die in periods of Kuja (Mars). If that 7th house is Mesham (Aries) or Karkatakam (Cancer) or Vruschikam (Scorpio) or Makaram (Capricorn), no Kuja-dosha
Well-known astrologers of present times, Relangi, Tangirala, Pidaparthi Poornaih wrote in their Panchangams (Ephemeris) and books, that Kuja-dosham is not applicable if there is Kuja dosham from lagnam and from Moon house and Venus house – all three houses in same horoscope

Bhagawat Gita chapter 2 - versus 47

2009-04-01T16:22:00.002+05:30

Please read daily till you understand and bring to practice.

YOUR RIGHT IS TO WORK ONLY
BUT NEVER TO THE FRUIT THERE OF
LET NOT THE FRUIT OF ACTION BE YOUR OBJECT
NOR LET THE ATTACHMENT BE TO INACTION

HAPPINESS AND SADNESS

2009-03-02T11:12:00.003+05:30

Happiness and Sadness are a very relative term.When one has more expectations and attachments of anything whatsoever he is for sure preparing himself for a disappointment of losing it oneday. When you get to lose the attached one or expected one, one becomes sad or hurt. Happiness and sadness are both an obstacle in the journey towards God realization. The less you are attached and involved the less you have disappointments in life. It is certainly a difficult task to practice but not impossible. One can always try to live a less attached life but doing one's duty as per one's dharma will be the best way of living a balanced life.Anything earned in this life is not at all owned by you as you are bound to leave eveything here and leave from this world. Being a good human being and dying like a good human being is the eanings you perhaps carry with your karmas for a better birth.

DASAS AND DIGBALA

2009-02-19T16:10:00.003+05:30

Saturn if it is in 4th order of dasa brings misery and trouble.
Jupiter in 6th ordeR is not good. Mars and Rahu if it is in 5th order is bad.

If Digbala of planets has more than 1.0 that is considered good and less than that shows less strength of the planets. Ishta bhala and Kashta bhala depends on this chart.

ASHTAKAVARGA PREDICTION

2009-02-19T16:00:00.003+05:30

Ashtakavarga chart tobe verified and find out the strenth of each houses.
The important houses are 1st the Lagna, 2nd dhana sthana, 4th sukha sthana, 9 Bhagya sthana,10 Karma sthana and 11th Labha sthana.

If the total of houses counting on 1st, 2nd, 4th, 9th, 10th and 11th comes above
170 means yoga for being rich and above 175 means yoga for very rich.
If the total of 1st,9th and 11th is higher than that of 6th 8th and 12th a successful life is assured generally. And if 6, 8 and 12 is higher then full of struggle without much success. 1st house should be definitely higher than that of individually 6th, 8th or 12th for a smoother life.

9th luck, 10th karma, 11th labha and 12th expenses.

All kendras and trikonas should have ashtakavarga strength other than 2nd and 11th.

so 10th should be equal or more than 9th and 11th(income) should be more than 10th(Karma/profession) and 12th(expenses) should be less than 11(income) and then the horoscope promises for a steady finance life.

PREDICTION FROM JANMA LAGNA AND CHANDRA LAGNA

2009-02-19T15:35:00.003+05:30

Chandra Lagna is body and Janma Lagna is Soul. Therefore, in Astrology results have been devised after examining the various bhavas from both Janma lagna and Chandra Lagna.
Without this no consideration of a nativity would be commendable.

Venus and Saturn

2009-02-19T15:24:00.002+05:30

When venus and saturn occupy their exaltation. swakshetra or vargottamasa and are strong and equally powerful to cause yoga in any horoscope, they will in their mutual dasas and bhuktis make the man concerned a beggar seeking alms and powerless being, even he is born a king or a kubera.
If however should bothe of them be weak and be so mutually placed that one occupies the 12th, the 8th or the 6th from the other or happens to own such places, or be associated with the lords of these houses, they tend tobe auspicious and grant wealth and happiness to the man concerned.
If one of them is the lord of an auspicious bhava and the
other of an unfavourable one, even then both of them will produce good results. Should they both be malefics they will prove extremely favourable to the native during their bhuktis and dasas.

Getting the homa 0r sacrifice performed by the Brahmins who are fed, is not proper. Doing so is only an inconsiderate act of the followers of Rig-veda says Bhrigu , the Sage

Brother of the wife and husband of sister(provided their wives are alive), the sister, brother, daughter and son when these six perform the sradda of the man concerned it ceases to be a real one (Sraddha)

Rahu and Ketu

2009-02-19T15:00:00.002+05:30

Rahu and Ketu are exalted in Vrishabha and vrischika rasis respectively. The own houses are Kumba and vrischika. Their mooltrikonas are Mithuna and Kanya. Thula and makara are their friendly houses. Rashis belonging to jupiter are neutral and Simha and kataka rashis are inimical.

If thes two planets are associated with strong yogakarakas or planets owning kendra or trikona bhavas and occupy Lagna, 3rd, 4th 7th or the 10th houses, they bless the native with prosperity, happiness, children, wealth, power and vehicles.

Should the benefics occupy the 6th, 7th and the 8th counted from moon and the malefics are not anywhere in these houses, the native will be like a king or equal to him blessed with every variety of happiness, long living, victorious, wildly reputed, learned with all the pleasures of the world and other luxuries.(venus/mercury/jupiter)

jupiter/venus/rahu

2009-02-19T14:50:00.002+05:30

In a birth chart, when jupiter owns 3rd and 12th bhava(capricorn ascnt) he bestows everything upon the native. Similar will be the effect, when he enjoys the ownerships of the 8th bhava or when he is posited in the 8th bhava. Venus isgood when he is in the 6th house.Rahu will be favourable when he will be in the 7th, 4th, 8th, 11th or the 10th house. Ketu is most benefic in the 3rd bhava.

TODAY’S PROBLEM. STRESS DUE TO CHANGE OF LIFESTYLE FROM INDIAN TO WESTERN

2008-10-06T19:49:00.004+05:30

.
Today all are willingly or forcibly accepting and rapidly copying western life style, irrespective of their age. People who are employed in new generation jobs have extended work times – especially those that follow other country’s day-light. Some are forced to go with western timings because of their work, some for maintaining their relationship with the kith and kin living abroad and some just because of their habit to be modern. People who work in companies which are purely depended on western timings, their careers are opening up windows to the world and the youngsters have never had it so good. The success however is costing many a dear. The trouble comes along with high stress levels, erratic schedules and unrealistic targets. They have long working hours, no exercise, poor diet and very high stress levels. Sedentary lifestyle brings down the quality of life for ever. One can never reach the level of excellence and hence suffer in both qualitative and quantitative performance. Some are settled in west and they can be contacted conveniently over the phone or through internet only in the night. So in both the circumstances people are forced to be awake and busy till midnight. And for relaxation and entertainment we get only late hours in the night, to party or to freak out.. This has become our way of life and we have even forced the older people and our children also to adapt to this timings.
With this environment one has to work for long hours. In the day we have to do the home work to ready ourselves to pick up with the pace of the west because the work starts in the west only in our night timings. They out source work to Indian companies because that
costs them less, secondly we are economically depended also on them. Traveling to and fro to office itself takes 3 to 4 hours. One leaves for office in the morning and the time of return is not known. We are made to work day and night to match to their requirements. As a result,the stress on our Indian working and non working people have gone up tremendously. We are unable to find time for our family, relatives or society. The more we live in this lifestyle, the day is not far when we will start forgetting our relatives, friends and even our society.
“Out of sight, out of mind.”

Are we going to live in this stressful life for the rest our lifetime? If there is no health, where will we be able to devote time for our own family,relatives, friends or any social life? Our health is totally spoilt mentally and physically. We are totally stressed out. Naturally those who go late to bed, wake up late. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy and wise. It remains as only a proverb. Everything starts late in
their routine life and one gets used to this kind of life over a period of
time .

This was not certainly the case a decade or two before. People were still happy and had time for one another. They lived a better life than us.

Why these changes have come? Why we are forced to live in this stress sort of a life? Human resources are plenty in India. All qualified irrespective of caste, Creed or religion are from India. Yet India is still dependent on other countries. We have so many problems like population, unemployment, inflation, corruption, Natural calamities,
Terrorism, accidents, pollution, global warming, shortage of food, Water, shelter and diseases etc what not.

All agricultural lands are encroached to make jungles of bricks. Maximum food products what we produce get exported. All junk foods are easily available in the market to spoil health. We are dependent on junk food rather the fast food which easily spoils our health because we are constrained to follow western food habits due to lack of time.

Having good metabolism is a blessing. People hardly get time to cook nutritious food at home. We cook once in a week or twice and store in the refrigerator or go for fast food because we do not have time to spend on these things. They feel there are better things to do. Some take medical insurance and get care free. 40% of health problems are due to stress, smoking, alcohol, junk and stored foods. Finally we end up paying huge medical expenses. Rigorous work schedule leave us with hardly any time to indulge in healthy cooking. We rather depend on the junk food readily available in the market. You may end up doing more harm than good to your body.

We spend a good amount of our economy in elections, celebrations,festivals, fighting calamities and terrorism. Our economy is not balanced among people. Rich are rich and poor remain poor. Political proxy war is everywhere on all issues. Politics is the best platform to fight for everything so that nothing works on time . Human beings
tend to forget, all happenings whether it is scam or politics or celebrations people forget soon. It is a very pathetic condition unfortunately. Only a revolution can change this. Spinning around of everything is a must.

For a healthy India, we need a stress free life. A stress free life can be had only when we make our country self-reliant. Everything is inter related. Everyone need to work for the country because the contribution from everything and everybody matters and is countable. Swami Vivekananda said
“man should have nerves of steel."

Country is of the people, for the people and by the people.

How to live a quality stress free life.

Yoga is a way of life. Learn to listen to your body and follow what it tells. Workout five times a week with a brisk half an hour walk, practice breathing exercise and nurse yourself to reach higher lever of energy in you. Everyone if understands his body and its needs, one need not starve to be slim and happy. No matter what you achieve in life, you
need good health to enjoy. . Don’t let work related problems harass you. Learn to keep them away once you leave the work place and do not carry them home. A work life balance is necessary and you need to devote time to your family and relaxation. Goals need to be realistic. Do not burn out trying to pursue the impossible. Moderation in late nights and
alcohol consumption will go a long way in keeping the body in good health.

There are people of different opinion and thoughts about their life. It is one’s own decision to lead one’s life the way one wants. One should rather learn from each other so that all successes and failures in life can be reviewed and corrected. This world is still balanced because of good souls living here. Above all God is there with every one, why to worry.
Have pure and blind faith in God. The Saviour will come.

MONEY MARKET

2008-10-06T12:23:00.000+05:30

The present volatile market and the slowdown in west confuse people in India.
Where to invest and how risky the market would be and how long? Such are the talk of the day.

In case of emergency if you cannot draw money from any investment it is advisable not to invest. Present trend is not at all advisable for investing in any venture. Better to sit on money. At least 4 to5 times of your monthly income should be readily available in cash for any sort of emergency requirement. Even if some one has more than this, it is better to look into yellow metal i.e. GOLD for a suitable opportunity to buy and stock. This would be definitely a product which will give you return anytime or at least your invested money can easily be recovered.

The slowdown of the west will surely have impact on Indian economy if not today in coming days for sure. It is difficult to predict the market for another 2 years.

EASY WAY TOBE HAPPY IN LIFE

2008-09-23T12:31:00.000+05:30

Keep yourself busy all the time so that your mind is not at all free for any evil thoughts.

Rising time from bed to retiring time to bed, keep yourself busy in something or other. Set your timings for the day so that you will slowly become disciplined also. Never sit idle. Idle time can be used in reading meaningful and informative books or if you are alone keep your eyes closed and relax mentally and physically in a conscious state. Avoid evil thoughts. You will be in a very blissful state of mind.

Idle mind devil’s workshop. Remember this always.

Have choice in everything. Eat food of your choice. Have friends of your choice. Wear dress of your choice. Live quality life and meaningful life according to your convenience. Life is yours. Avoid company of people who influence you in evil discussions. You can live the way you want. All that matter is a kind of self satisfaction at the end of the day. How you spent the day, what you did and what you planned to do.

You have to set priorities in your life. Your health the first priority of your life, your family, your work, your economy, your society, your entertainment, your sleep and ultimately time for prayers and meditation to realise GOD. For all these things you need to be disciplined. You have to allot time for all these things according to priorities within available 24hours. This is up to individual how they set priorities and what they achieve. Materialistic growth is very important, which is one side of the coin and other side you should have spiritual growth too. This life is a one time gift to you. You should live every bit of it happily and the way you want.

GOD BLESS EVERYONE.

The strong moon triggers the source of strength of all planets

When you count from the Janam Nakshatra

a)1st and 9th NAKSHTRA are MEDIUM

b)2nd,4th, 6th and 8th NAKSHATRAS are THE BEST

c)The 3rd, 5th and 7th nakshatras are BAD

(Vipat,Pratyatri and Vadha are bad i.e.3rd,5th and 7th} Vadha tara is more dangerous.

Have faith in God

2008-09-21T05:24:00.001+05:30

A successful person is he who first focuses on the subject, analyses the pros & cons and act on it with 100% force without any fear or double thought. The result of such fearless actions would be 100% to your satisfaction. This should come in your day to day life also whether you believe anyone, trust any one, love anyone, and do anything, whatsoever; one should do it with 100% confidence and faith, otherwise you should not. You can’t have 99% faith or believe. Either 100% you must believe or not at all. Do not believe or act just for the sake of others or convenience.

There are different kinds of people you meet in your life, especially those 3 kinds of people. One group who believe only to some extent in everything and do things with double mind. They never have 100% belief on anyone or anything, not even in GOD. Their actions are also not 100% and so the result is also not 100%. They will have fear inside.They are having doubt in everything. They change their mind according to the majority of opinion.

Second group of people you can see that they do not believe at all in GOD, because they search for logical and scientifical proof in everything. They argue for the sake of argument. However you try to convince them with our traditional and cultural background they never understand. They want proof and logic in everything. May be by default they believe in some power, but over the period of time they will come to belief in GOD. In their life there is only a thin gap between belief and disbelief. The moment they cross this thin gap by some divine experience, they will become 100% believer of GOD.

Third group are those they have 100% faith in GOD, irrespective of caste and creed. Their upbringings are in such an environment and also they are educated with that kind of back ground they grow believing 100% in God. They have blind faith in God, and in our scriptures. They believe in their own religion and God. Their unwavering faith in God helps them to face any adverse situations and happenings .

GOD is beyond every logic and science. If you have 100% faith in God, He will be with you all the time. Once you come to know GOD you will be above all knowledge. God’s doings in your life can not be doubted. GOD can come in your life in any form unknown to you. If you give 100% to your every doings, God will be always there with you.

Please avoid arguments and discussions on God with those who do not have faith at all in GOD and in your religion .Try to avoid such company who criticise your faith, religion and sadhana.

Live a meaningful life and quality life as it is a gift of God. Follow the instructions of your Gurus and live as guided by shastras. Do not hurt anyone and look after yourself. GOD IS ALWAYS THERE AND IS ALWAYS WITH YOU in whichever religion you are. Have unwavering faith in GOD. Make a total self-surrender to God.

The divine science astrology is also a creation of GOD which is proved and accepted by almost all. Here also there are believers and non believers. But one thing to be remembered is that even fate written in astrology can also be changed by GOD at rare instances with our prayers and good karmas. GOD is above all these sciences. Hence give 100% to your belief and faith.

BHAGAWAT GITA

2008-09-17T11:01:00.000+05:30

Sri Krishna Tells The Gita
Birth of the Gita

To everyone's surprise, in this war for righteousness, in the beginning Arjuna, the great and brave warrior, finds himself suddenly overwhelmed with the feeling of mental depression, grief, and fear when he realizes that he has to fight with his close relatives - brothers, uncles, and Teachers - present as his enemies. Arjuna is greatly disturbed about the outcome of the war; destruction and death that was sure to follow. He thought it 'prudent' to retire to forest rather than kill his own near and dear ones.

It is such a dramatic setting that we get the start to Bhagavad-Gita. The brave warrior Arjuna, with Lord Krishna as his charioteer, is standing between the two arrayed armies ready to start the battle, and then Arjuna lays down his arms to retire at the back of his chariot! Trembling with nervousness and anxiety, unable to lift his mighty bow -Gandiva - he pleads to escape from the consequences of the war. His emotions of love for the near ones, his concepts of duty and Dharma, all appear to be confusing to himself. He is unable to determine the correct approach in this piquant situation of grave urgency and emergency.

Therefore he turns to Sri Krishna, his friend, his teacher, and his all: "How can I kill them? Will it not be proper to give up this whole kingdom, smacking of blood of my own relatives, and retire to forest in peace? O Krishna, I am unable to decide my further plan of action. I surrender myself at your holy feet. O Lord, please guide me through this difficult uncertainty as I am your disciple and you are my Teacher."

Sri Krishna Tells The Gita

Thus, when Arjuna surrenders himself at the feet of the Lord, Sri Krishna says, "O Brave one, why this infatuation at this hour! Why have you given yourself to this unmanliness and cowardice? Do not think that by your high talk of 'renunciation and retiring to forest' people would adore you and call you noble and intelligent. On the contrary, for centuries to come, blame would be put on you for running away from the battle field. Generation after generation, people would laugh at you and make fun of your unmanly flight."

Srimad Bhagavad-Gita, Chapter II, verse 2 and 3:

"In such a crisis, whence comes upon thee, O Arjuna, this dejection, un-Aryan-like, disgraceful, and contrary to the attainment of heaven?"

"Yield not to unmanliness, O son of Kunti! Ill doth it become thee. Cast off this mean faint-heartedness and arise, O scorcher of thine enemies."

On listening to this rebuke, Arjuna steadies himself, and further dialogue between Lord Krishna and Arjuna follows in subsequent chapters. Thus the Gita consists of eighteen - 18 - chapters and a total of 700 verses contained in them. (In fact, Gita consists of a dialogue between our lower self and the Higher Self.)

Arjuna puts many question about the goal in life, aim of human birth, about the nature of Duty and Work, about the Self - Atman - and about the four Yogas viz. Jnana-Yoga, Raja-Yoga, Karma-Yoga, and Bhakti-Yoga.

Chapters II through IX deal with Karma-Yoga - Yoga of selfless action - vis-a-vis Jnana-Yoga. Sri Krishna exhorts Arjuna to fight the war without thinking of the consequences. "Your duty is, and you have right only, to fight; you do not have control over the outcome", says the Lord. The duty of a person as a Karma Yogi is to do the allotted work as worship without expecting any definite fruits thereof. Selfless work done with full heart and perfection is the best way for the worldly person to realize his inner Self. In fact efficiency in work itself is a Yoga!

Those persons should embrace the life of renunciation (monasticism) in whom impressions of the past lives have created such attraction. But other persons who have no such tendency, persons in whom the past impressions of sense enjoyment persist, such aspirants - sadhakas - are not yet fit to take to life of sanyasins. Such persons actually, after some progress on the path of total renunciation -sanyasa, may get entangled in a tamasic inactivity - lazy life of hypocrisy. Such people do more harm than good to the cause of spirituality, religion, and social progress.

For such people, which are in majority at a given point of time, Sri Krishna advocates Nishkam Karma Yoga - Yoga of selfless action - as the ideal path to realize the Truth. Allotted work done without motives, the work done without expecting or thinking about its result, purifies the mind that makes the person gradually fit to see the value of reason and benefit of renouncing the work itself!. Unless all mental desires and tendencies to enjoy sense pleasures are controlled and rooted out, a person does not become fit for final stage of Liberation. Yoga makes the person fit through action, devotion, contemplation, meditation , and discrimination to sharpen his reason, develop intuitive power of acquiring knowledge, and to transcend the mind itself!

Theory of Incarnation

In chapter IV, verse 7 and 8, Sri Krishna says:

"Arjuna, whenever there is decline of righteousness, and unrighteousness is in the ascendant, then I body Myself forth,"
"For the protection of the virtuous, for the destruction of evil-doers, and for establishing Dharma (righteousness) on a firm footing, I am born from age to age."

This concept of Divine Incarnation - Avatar - is at the very root of religiosity prevalent all over India. This hope that the Lord will come to the help and rescue of His devotees, and corrupt and greedy would be punished; that the Truth alone would prevail in the end and not the untruth, has had kept the flame of spirituality burning through the dark ages of foreign aggression and servitude. One should understand that Dharma here means attempting to seek our own higher self. From animal tendencies to Divine plane through human growth, this is the journey. Materialism, excessive involvement in sense enjoyment, and identification of ourselves as body-mind complex means 'unrighteousness is in the ascendant'. This excess involvement in senses means evil, greed, and corruption. Sri Krishna shows us the path: How to rise above these senses and transcend them to realize our higher state of consciousness - Atman.

Gradually the discussion centres around the real nature of man and paths to seek the same. Says Sri Krishna, "O Arjuna, you are not this body, you are not this mind; you are ever pure, unchanging eternal Self, Atman. This Atman is covered with delusion/illusion of ignorance and comes to identify itself as body-mind complex. Therefore, when you say 'you will kill them, or get killed by them, you are actually telling a lie. The Atman is never killed, nor does it kill anybody."

This body is like worn out clothes which the Atman changes as we change our old garments!

ThenSri Krishna goes on elaborating the ways to realize self as Self by undertaking various spiritual disciplines. By proper control of senses, by way of renunciation and discrimination, and by constant practice it is possible to steady and control the mind and realize the higher Reality. The same end can be reached by Yoga of action and Yoga of devotion.

In chapter XI there is a wonderful description of Lord Krishna revealing Himself to Arjuna as "Virat" - all pervading Reality. This Universal or Cosmic Form of Sri Krishna relates to three aspects of 1) shristi - creation, 2) sthiti - maintenance, and 3) vinash - destruction of all the worlds. The terrifying aspect of this Self makes Arjuna shudder with fear, and hence the Lord also reveals His most beautiful form that is full of bliss, beatitude, and serenity.

Chapter XII lays stress on the path of devotion - Bhakti Yoga - and emphasizes qualifications and virtues of a Bhakta.

Thus the Gita is a summary of all knowledge contained in the Vedas and Upanishads. The Gita is translated in many languages including the English. Many learned scholars and spiritually illumined souls have written commentaries on this Universal Gospel of Perennial Philosophy. Depending upon the priority and emphasis, some advocate Jnana-Yoga as the essence of Gita, while majority of the people thinks that the Gita expounds doctrine of Karma Yoga at its best.

In recent times Swami Vivekananda has commented that the Gita exhorts everyone of us to arise, awake, and fight our unmanliness so that we emerge as active and strong Karma Yogis. We become true spiritual seekers to realize our true nature as Atman and thereby do immense good to the world.

In the last chapter XVIII, Sri Krishna asks Arjuna, "Are your doubts cleared? O Arjuna are you freed from the delusory ideas regarding your true nature?"

And the grateful Arjuna, full of bliss with recent realization of the true knowledge declares:

"Yes, my lord. My ignorance has vanished. Destroyed is my delusion, and I have gained my memory through Thy Grace. O steadfast, I am firm; my doubts are gone. Thy will be done."

Human mind, problems, desires & attachments and the purpose of our birth.

2008-09-03T15:31:00.002+05:30

Our present birth happens as per our previous Karma and this life is the result of our previous birth.

We are attached to our desires and also entangled with numerous problems. The Mind is the origin and storing place of our problems. Most of the times, our problems are really not there but our mind creates them for us to worry, because our mind is a huge computer. It can create, store & remind our problems to make our life miserable. It never stays free,It keeps on adding and deleting matters in our life. We need to have a check on our mind, where it goes, how it behaves. Like a child we have to look after and nourish it.

Life is like a Bubble and we never know when it will burst. The available time for us also is not known. So live in the present. Make it worth living every moment. Use our intellect and plan the priorities of our life with the available present time we have.

A man's real life starts only when his search starts for finding himself. His potential is much more than what he knows and his achievements.

We are not using even ONE percentage of our abilities. 99% of our remaining abilities go waste and we die without utilizing these abilities.

We should look beyond our materialistic achievements and find the self within us so that we can be proud of that spiritual achievement before we die.

It is the search for the divine truth that ultimately brings the real fulfillment. Many of us feel heavenly experiences lies in reaching the top of a career. Life is a momentary delight. The adventure is not in the destination but in the journey. It is not the winning or the losing, but how we strive for the search of finding the real truth, with a logical mind or an analytical mind or scientifically we can never find God, because he is much above all our knowledge. A determined and blind faith on God is must. He can appear before us in any form we wish. Our soul needs to join with the Supreme and that is the ultimate. The purpose of this human life itself is for this blissful journey.

Materialistic growth is one side of the coin of our life. There is something much more important on the other side of the coin of our life. What we gain in materialistic world of course is important but whether we have become healthy, poor, rich or intellectual or famous but none of these things stays for long. It will burst with the bubble of our life. Your Soul will continue its journey till it attains its destination i.e. The Supreme Soul.

No matter how rich we are, or how poor we are, how famous we are and how intelligent we are, our soul will get away from all these things.

Because we are human beings having brain unlike animals we can start conditioning our soul towards our final goal. Make our life twist from now on at least (because we do not know when our bubble of life will burst. Use all our potentials all our infrastructure and power of our body and mind and intellect to condition our Soul fit for its further journey so that its path is not diverted hereafter.

In this Kaliyug, it is very difficult to preach or practice but try and try you will find ways and means to get into that environment so that we get our way to our goal. But as per Vedic scriptures, it is said, that in Kaliyug, the best way to achieve our goal (which is primarily to join with the Supreme), is to chant the name of Lord HARI.
">Hare Krishna hare Krishna, Krishna Krishna hare hare, Hare Rama hare Rama Rama Rama hare hare"

You can chant it 108 times at a time, any time of the day!

Do write to me.

God Bless You!

GOD LIVES WITHIN YOU

EVOLUTION -OMKARA (SHAKTI)
The whole Universe begins from this sound OMKARA.
The creator of the Universe, Divine Mother “Shakti”, from her own Power of Resolution
Brahma-Vishnu-Mahesh were created, to take care of Creation, Sustenance and the Desolution of this word at the behest of “OM- Shakti”. Brahma who has created the whole universe knows the past, present and future..

Lord Brahma has given the power to Chitragupta to maintain all records of karma of all human beings. As you know all creation is an incident and is with a purpose. All avatars of Lord and all birth of Godly souls in this world are borne for some purpose. There is a cause for all the effect. Nothing is created or borne without any reason or purpose. GOD is everywhere in all forms. God is within us also. God lives in the temple made of our body, mind, heart, means the Human body itself is a temple. In order to keep the Almighty in a very sacred place, like we keep Idols in a man made temples, keep our body and mind clean and purified by all means, and maintain the sanctity of our temple (Body and Mind) so that we realise God’s presence within us always. First of all Body needs to be made healthy. We need to go back and learn from our ancient scriptures as to how we can make our body healthy and clean by regularising our life style – eating vegetarian food, thinking, listening and doing good, and with disciplined life style through yoga and meditation., one can keep the body and mind fit and sacred.
we should constantly be conscious of our Self within.

MIND by chanting mantras, regular meditation etc.

Body - by physical cleaniness, exercise and disciplined life style.

One has to feel his body and mind equal to temple and once he know his body is a temple, he can easily find God within i.e. Self. We need to wear clean dress. We need to have a good healthy physique so that it lives for long. We need to have our mind clean and disciplined so that it always gives a consciousness that God is within you. Once we condition our body and mind, the God within us will take care of our rest journey. Our karmas start changing and a blissful experience comes within and once you are in that consciousness which is blissful, you are near to God. For an astrologer it will be easy to practice to the maximum accuracy if he lives a very sanctified life style. His Vaksidhi also gets improved.Basic qualification of an astrologer is that he maintains a very disciplined life style.Basic qualification of a believer of Astrology or ho wants to follow astrological direction, also needs to maintain a very disciplined life style.

Astrology

For an astrologer it will be easy to practice to the maximum accuracy if he lives in a very sanctified life style. His Vaksidhi also gets improved. Basic qualification of an astrologer is that he maintains a very disciplined life style. Basic qualification of a believer of Astrology or who wants to follow astrology, also needs to maintain a very disciplined life style.
Astrology is based on Planets. Astronomy is a science based on planets. Both astrology and astronomy is interlinked. Astronomy & Astrology are not an invention but a discovery because both already exist. Astronomy is already believed and accepted by all of us. Then Astrology has to be believed as it is a part of the astronomy. This subject is very vast it will take birth after birth to know little of astrology. It is a never ending subject and our human life span is so short by the time one starts knowing something his life comes to an end.
