Dear Friends:
Interesting article I received today re. an Ancient Vedic practice
that's being practiced today, called Patanjali's Yoga Sutras or Sidhis.
It's a great example of how 'life' can be influenced by Vedic
remedies. In this same way, we can adopt many of the Vedic
technologies to apply to the diagnosis of ourselves as seen from our
Astrology.
Our charts may be able to see our Benefic
Strengths and Malefic weaknesses; then all of the rest of Vedic Science
can be used to heal, balance and even transform our Malefics, also into
strengths!
For years now, coming out of a meditation and
Ayurvedic background I have used many of these Vedic procedures in my
prescriptions for remedies and remedial measures.
Though
when I first started studying Jyotish over 19 years ago now, all the books
I read would have 195 pages on the Understanding of the Jyotish and only 5
pages at the end; as if tacked on as an after thought.
Even
back then I thought that was a bit strange and imbalanced.
Quickly I realized it should be more 50/50%.
When we have
our charts read or even study our charts, we should spend somewhere around
50% of our time figuring out that our charts fit us.
Then,
as soon as we discover where our Malefics are we can then shift, into a
Remedial Meausres mode and put all our attention on Remedies.
As it turns out the real purpose of Jyotish is a self-development of the
individual.
The Malefics in our charts, though they've
already been known as the source of all our problems, can now be looked at
as those areas that we need to improve.
This is already
being done in such fields as Ayurveda, Yoga and Meditation, by the way.
When someone goes to an Ayurvedic physician they feel your
pulse and upon determining which doshas are out of balance; ie. through a
perception of one's Vata, Pitta, and Kapha tendencies, then they
immediately begin prescribing concrete things to do to bring the mind and
the body in balance.
The key to health for Ayurveda is
balance. When the Physiology is balanced then it's able to be more
resistant to stress, viruses, bacteria and disease.
Yoga
teaches physical postures to alleviate stress and tension which is good
for the body and also for mental and emotional stress. Popularity in
physical Yoga has blossomed over the last 20 years such that there are
many yoga centers in each major city throught the World.
Finally, Meditation has become even more popular as Vedic meditation has
swept its way around the world. Many millions of people today in the
'West' meditate to alleviate stress, and develop such things as greater
creativity, mental clarity and even unfold the person's latent unused
human potential.
Today, in the last 35 years over 600
scientific studies have been conducted on meditationinvesting and
validating positive benefits upon every area of human life.
Meditation has been shown to alleviate physical stress.
Meditation
has been shown to strength the human nervous system, thereby creating
greater health.
Mediation has been found to develop mental abilities, clarity of
mind, greater decision makings and overall creativity all improve.
Meditation has also been found to improve emotional problems, worry,
anxieties, phobias of all kinds, unease, dis-ease and even depression.
Studies have recently been ordered by the US Government to the
tune of millions of dollars, in one instance to investigate the role of
meditation in alleviating stress in highly susceptible black
populations.
So, with so many recent successes in the field
of Vedic Knowledge why is it that Jyotish is still used in a very static,
passive and even fatallistic way?
This too is going to
change as people begin to realize that Jyotish too has a great potential
and power to help improve life by developing or strengthening the weaker,
undeveloped or imbalanced, so-called Malefic planets in anyone's chart.
In the future I believe Jyotish will become known as Vedic
Psychology. Where Ayurveda primarily
treats the body and what it eats and how it works with the environment and
rhythms of nature; Jyotish has really the potential to influence the mind
itself.
Of course Jyotish includes the body as well as the
mind; but Jyotish has the ability to see into our hearts and minds and
know how to help any individual evolve themselves to their natural higher
level of being.
Why did we come to this Earth, if it wasn't
to evolve?
We didn't come here to only live the
fatalistic consequences of our actions.
We've come here to
evolve, to become better human beings and as we do this, our lives and
karmas will improve.
Unfortunately the brillance of this
Vedic Knowledge has been somewhat lost and ineffective for a number of
centuries.
If it hadn't Indian life would be supreme in the
World. Indians, too, though they have access to this amazing
knowledge, don't realize the great diamond they have in the rough.
Also, such things as Meditation and even subtle Vedic technologies
as Vedic recitations or Yaguas have become less effective as the source of
real power in human life, or consciousness has become inert.
For many centuries it became thought that it was very difficult to
meditate and it took great control and concentration to bring the wild
monkey mind into submission.
The great insight of meditation
in the last 50 years, especially through the auspices of his Holiness
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi has personally revised and enlivened the power and
utility of this great Vedic field of Meditation.
In his now
World famous Transcendental Meditation technique, practiced by over 6
million world wide; individuals have all begun to experience that the mind
can be easily expanded by a natural and effortless form of meditation.
This technique represents a major revival in the entire field
of meditation and consciousness expansion. As a result, much
interest has been stirred in all the other branches of Vedic Wisdom as
well.
Ayurveda, Yaguas, Yoga and now Jyotish are some of the
most exciting other fields that are becoming available as well.
In this new light, Jyotish too can be utilized for all kinds of
practical reasons to improve and develop human life.
Of
course, the old view that Jyotish was about our fate and pre-determined
realities is going to have to be left behind.
But, it's
already happening. Jyotish is going to the West, and Western
tendencies for self-development and self-transformation are beginning to
go to the East. Easterns though they've grown up in a passive,
fatalistic mind set, are quickly moving into opening themselves to the
wonderful hope and optimism of the West.
This is why I
created "Nature's Astrology" to help point the way of the
possibility of bringing together the Best of both the West and the East
into a new and exciting Astrology which is going to permanently change and
improve our World.
As it turns out this potential or reality
already exists in Nature's Astrology. Out there in nature, Astrology
is already perfect. It's just here on this Earth that we forget
sometimes how perfect nature is.
Nature, already is living
Astrology. We live in an Astrological Unviverse, we always have and
though we're presently in a scientific age it too is an Astrological
one.
Always even in the future the Universe will be
Astrological. This is because what Astrological means, is inherent
meaning to an Astronomical universe. In other words there's inherent
symbolic meaning for each one of us.
Each one of us
is living a personal and highly important Astrological life that the
language of Astrology can help us with!
Each one of us is
living a life of Astrological forces, human but Astrological nature,
Astrological qualiites and characteristics and many, many Astrological
realities, issues and relevant
developments.
Astrology is a perfect language to help us
decipher, understand and then smoothly and quickly progress through this
Astrological World and Universe.
We're Astrological beings
living in an Astrological World.
What could be more fitting
to that, then a wonderful language of Astrology.
Once we
have our Astrological nature and condition read; then we can utilize any
of the expanding technologies of Vedic Science to bring balance, healing
and self-development to our entire Astrology.
For many years
now I've told people: "Meditation is the #1 Vedic remedy that
everyone should use to help balance and transform any malefic
pattern."
Like that today, we're in the middle of one
of the greatest demonstrations of Vedic Knowledge in the Advanced
Meditation practice of what's called the Sidhis.
Patterned
after the great Indian Sage Patanjali who was thought to live about 2000
years ago, the present day practice of Patanjali's Yoga Sutras is also
becoming very famous.
See the article below about a present
day, on going program that's happening right now!

Dear
Friends,
It's interesting to note that after having achieved
1730 in Monday
night's
program, the AP story the Des
Moines reporter David Pitt wrote on our
Invincible America
Assembly was released early this morning. It is
being
picked up around the world with the main title: Organizers Say
Meditation
Brings Peace. Major papers like the Washington
Post, LA Times, Newsday,
FOX
News, International
Herald Tribune in , the list goes on. Just
Google
Transcendental Meditation and you'll see over 20 reports and growing. I
included some links below.
David
will let us know if his longer version will run in
today.
That will have more content and the name of our university. He
had
mentioned
MUM 3 times but it got edited out.
They actually cut his article in
half and
changed
things around for national distribution. It's still a good
article.
Will send the
All glory to Guru Dev, and
Maharishi's tireless efforts to enlighten us
all
with his Vedic Knowledge and Technologies to create permanent world
peace.
JAI GURU DEV
