FACTS ABOUT ANCIENT INDIA CALLED BHARAT

Vedic Astrology is the Traditional Astrology of India or Bharat and is some 4000 to 5000 years old. It is a living tradtion. India was once the richest empire on earth, at about 3000 BC, with cities more technologically advanced than most of the Europian Countries till the time of Renaissance. The early Vedic sages invented the Number System, the Decimal System, Algebra, Trignometry, Calculus, and the Value of Pi.
Albert Einstein said " We owe a lot to Indians, who taught us how to count, without which no worthwhile scientific discovery could have been made."
In recent History the creator of the Pentiam chip was Vinod Dham, The Co founder of Sun Microsystems was Vinod Khosla, the creator of the Hotmail Email System was Sabhir Bhatia, and the GM of Hewlett Packard is Rajiv Gupta- allfrom India.
Mark Twaine said " India is the cradle of the Human Race, the birth place of Human Speach, the Mother of History,the Grand mother of Legend and the Great grand mother of Tradition."
Will Durant, the Pulitzer winning historian, said " It is true that, even across the Himalayan barrier, India has sent to the West such gifts as Grammer and Logic, [Panini] , Philosophy [Dr.Sarvepalli Radhakrishna] , and fables ,[Panchatantram] , Hypnotism ,and Chess, [Chadarangam], and above all Numerals and Decimal system." [Italycs are mine.]
By knowing some of these facts and quptes from Famous people you realise that India is not just a country of slouches, India has an illustrious post which can be seen by the living traditions that still exist in Vedic Astrology, Ayurvedic, Medicene, Vastu [Archtecture], Sanskrit, Music, Dance [Nritya], Yoga, Systems of Worships etc.

BEHAVIOUR OF PLANETS

Each Planet has its own basic charecteristics, regardless of which sign it is placed, or which House itis placed. The planet blends it's charecteristics with that of the Sign it occupies, and the House it occupies from the Lagna. If some other Planet Aspects this Planet, then again its expression further changes. As an anology I will explain for the easy grasping of the subject by begeners. Suppose you take a glass of Milk. It has got it's own charecteristic taste. If you add Sugar the taste changes, and you can feel more tastier. [like a benefic House]. Instead if you add salt, you may not like it. [Like a malefic House] If you add cofee the taste will be something else. If you add Bournvita You can have a seperate taste. Like that the planets also change their charecteristics according to the House they are located, the zodiac sign they are in, and give the results accorgingly. For example the Jupiter the most natural Benefic planet also can give adverse effects when it is located in Trikas [3rd,6th,8th and also 12th House from the Lagna.] and in the House of enemy, or in Debilitation Sign. Here Lagna I mean also include Chandra Lagna, Aruda Lagna, Karakmsa Lagna etc. Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus and Mars are called Personal Planets or Charectorbulding Planets. Jupiter, and Saturn are called ImpersoUranus Nepenal or Event Planets. Western Astrology also include Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto under this catogery.

MEDICAL ASTROLOGY

Medical Astrology is the science that analyzes how these imbalances can manifest in our physical body. When the natal chart is studied in light of present or future planetary movements (transits), Medical Astrology also provides insight into the timing of events and may give us clues as to when problems may begin, or fade off.

Very few people know that Hippocrates, the Father of Medicine, and the one that medical doctors take an oath from, said that no one should call himself a doctor unless he/she was also an a astrologer; for no diagnosis could be made without the help of astrological information on the patient.

Can planets influence people ?

An analogy is like looking at a colour traffic light system and decoding what each of the colour light such as red , yellow and green are meaning and saying, like if some one goes when the red light is shining he or she is highly prone to be met with an accident or when green light is shining it is highly probable that he or she will have a safe passage.

If you ask me whether there is an effect from that red colour lights on a person's life my answer is both "yes" and "no". No, because it is just a light. Yes, because it indicates a bad period to cross. But if you attribute a godly character to the traffic light pole and starts worshipping it or think that there is a mystery in it. Then it is the lack of true knowledge and understanding. That is why, about 2500 years ago Lord Buddha said "Kim Karrisatthi Taraka ?" What stars can do ? It is not stars doing any thing to you. It will guide you to predict how your own actions and the reactions of past actions (Karmas) are shaping your destiny. Your true savior is none but yourself as it is your duty to steer your life on the correct path.

Stars only indicate your past "Karmas"( or the actions ) and depending on the past actions, the direction of the path of life you are going to take while in the journey, towards the ultimate goal. . It is as same as, depending on the lane you have stopped, the direction you should turn will be indicated by a traffic signal.

What is Astrology ?

Planets in the solar system are like an accurate clock in the sky. Their revolutions and movements are very precise. Planets rise and set at definite times. Effects of certain planetary influences are plainly visible such as day and night, change of seasons and tidal effects. It surely have influence on everyday life of all of us. But subtle effects on people are not so clearly evident at a glance.

Astrology is a system of observations gathered through ages. For an example Vedic Astrology was founded by Sage Parasara thousands of years ago and the observations collected through ages are the essence of the Hindu Astrology. Astrology, both Eastern and Western are based on a predictive system very similar to the one used by meteorology. Instead of forecasting the weather conditions, Astrological predictive system indicates such and such things are highly probable to happen to the people when such and such planetary positions are prevailing.

Astrology - from past to present

Astrology is a heritage of all of us, which stood the test of time. If astrology was absolute rubbish, then it would have gone out of circulation many hundreds or perhaps thousands years ago. Since there was some substance in astrology, which had proved to many people for generations about it's usefulness. Astrology had managed to survive through those generations. Now the time had come for the Astrology to engage in the test of time once again. This time a test carried out by a new breed of seekers living in the era of information age, who are armed with new technology, new ways of thinking and interested in investigating finding and presenting the knowledge of the past in a manner applicable to the present. If anybody wish to learn Vedic Astrology, here is a good place to start.

LEARN BASICS AND READ YOUR CHART

Become Your Own Therapist Using Your Chart

Our astrological chart is a window into our destiny, our soul and our psyche. Knowledge of the fundamentals in your chart provides a foundation on which a spiritual and psychological practice can be based.

All astrological data, including planets, elements, aspects and houses, illuminate where we can draw on our strengths and where we sabotage ourselves. Each chart also contains its own medicine which is the antidote to the weaknesses and wounds it reveals. With greater knowledge of our charts from this perspective we can become our own healers and be more honest and open with any Astrologer we consult.

I will discuss how I use Astrology to frame an initial meaning and determine the approach that will be most effective for that person. We will analyze several charts in detail to understand the impact of our early life, our experiences and our own personality traits on our behavior. While karma and past life experiences are clearly visible in each chart and do inform the underlying meaning of both our gifts and our wounds, it is helpful to learn strategies that enable us to act differently and consciously in our daily lives.

Be careful of what you wish for, as it just might come true when the votex and anti-vortex come into play.

THE ELEMENTS

Saturday, August 15, 2009

The Elements
The four elements: Fire, Water, Air and Earth are based on temperament, as seen in a person's primary response to situation, relationships and most things in general.

Each sign is matched with one of the elements according to whether the primary response associated with that sign is basically: to act (physical/Earth), to gain something (purposeful/Fire), to analyze (intellectual/Air), or to feel (emotional/Water).

QUALITIES OF FIRE: Active, masculine, spontaneous, quick, initiating, initializing, vitalizing and energetic.

Fire is an element with two purposes: (1) It is an expression of spiritual energy and the determination of the spirit. (2)It purifies, burns and destroys the old so that the new may emerge. It is a the element of transmutation and regeneration. To pass through fire is symbolic of transcending the human condition. The direction or cardinal point of fire is south.

QUALITIES OF WATER: Passive, feminine, receptive, sustaining, subconscious, creative and generative.

Water symbolizes the infinite realm of possibilities, which precede all form and creation. It is limitless and immortal. The direction or cardinal point of water is west.

QUALITIES OF AIR: Active, masculine, intellectual, ethereal, abstract and communicative.

Air is related to the creative breath of life, therefore, speech as well as scent and smell. Air is a volatile element which is considered the offspring of the parental elements of fire and water. It is the reconciler between the rival elements of fire (male) and water(female). Air also alludes to the human intellect and thought processes, which are quick, changeable, and abstract. The direction or cardinal point is east.

QUALITIES OF EARTH: Passive, feminine, solid, materialization, physical, stable, slow-moving and grounded.

Earth represents the physical, materialized universe in which we live. Earth is the daughter of fire and water, just as air is the son. This element encompasses all activities of productivity, fertility, growth and regeneration. Earth is the fourth element and the result of the combined actions of the other three. The direction or cardinal point of earth is north.

Step-by-Step learning

In this section you can learn, step by step, the basics of Indian Vedic astrology. Once you go through these lessons, you will know the purpose with which our ancient Rishis gave us this great science; how accurate their knowledge was and how the system operates; to what extent it is applicable and effective; what all are the things based on which a chart is analysed to give predictions; the difference between the Indian and western astrology; about the planets, signs, houses and the Nakshatras; how the houses and the Nakshatras are further sub divided; how their many fold strengths and conditions (avasthas) are analysed in the Vedic astrology to fine-tune the predictions about the nature and events in an individuals life; about the effects of various planets placed in various signs and houses. You cannot become an astrologer and start giving predictions after going through these basic lessons. But you will have a good sound idea and grasp about the basics of our astrology. After learning the basics of Vedic astrology, if you are still interested and want to learn the predictive principles and the finer points of astrology, you are welcome to the Sashtras.

The Birth Certificate!!

With the advent of the western education, slowly our own Vedic education got eradicated. In computer language, first the files were deleted, then the folders were emptied and now we are on the verge of wiping out the data banks of what was once our basic knowledge! The result is that today majority of the Indians don't know a thing about astrology, have a lot of misconceptions and blind beliefs, and when asked about their birth time they ring their mom and she consults the birth certificate!

In the Olden Days....

Thursday, August 13, 2009

Just about fifty years ago the average Indian knew [Even my father knew about the basics of astrology and he used to fix muhurtam for Travel purpose] about his correct birth date and time, his lagna, his rasi, his birth nakshatra, about the well placed and ill placed planets in his chart, about the dashas and transit effects and the remedial measures he must undertake. ( My father had recorded the correct birth time and date of his children and noted in a Book, whjch is with my elder Brother). They knew the basics of astrology and how deep and vast it is. As a result they also knew how tough the job of an astrologer is and used to have some respect for this ancient science and for its practitioners. [He used to consult the family Astrologer for marriage of his daughters etc.]
