Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Your remarks are very true, I did not say anything about the reason why Sri Swamiji asked questions to an astrologer. I am quite aware that our beloved Satguru does not need to consult an astrologer for his own sake. He is all knowing and he blesses all deserving and even undeserving.

Guest guest Posted April 22, 2005 Report Share Posted April 22, 2005 Sri Swamiji's Speech after Sri Chakra Puja - Nellore Ashrama - 30th January 2003 Is Astrology and horoscope true? IS it a true science? Naamakarna is address. Anna Praashana is an auspicious beginning for a healthy intake of food. Naming ceremony is a happy event. All faiths follow it. All traditions consider the birth time as an important event. God is beyond time. We the mortals are bound by time (Kaala). We have a fixed numbers of breaths. Our Praana is in the control of Yama. Every inhalation and exhalation you do, loses one in your total count. You should not get angry because you inhale and exhale faster when you are angry. Your own anger can be your enemy. Taking the birth time in to consideration, which also involves the various parameters like the month, year of birth, the planetary position of that precise moment is calculated. Every second of existence will be influenced by different vibrations being emanated by countless stars in our galaxy. Astrologers follow different methods and cast your chart. They also say which star is beneficial to you and which star may not be beneficial for you. Everyone on this earth hails from different planets from former lives. When we say your Graha Bala (Strength of a particular planet) is weak, we mean that particular planet may not be beneficial to you. Then, can a Shanti Homa for that planet heal the situation? The influence of a particular planet is specified for a fixed amount of time. Doing Shanti Homa of that particular planet, you get extra strength to bear the fruits of that time. Many times we wonder why a marriage conducted after extensive horoscope match go foul. That is because the chart would have been faulty or the astrologer who checked it is a hoax. Astrologer must be versatile with some knowledge of astronomy also. Then only is he strong. Those who take three-week astrology course claim to be great astrologer. Also people are taken on a ride when there are mass Homas for a particular planet and to remove its ill effects. It is especially true if the planet is Saturn, Ketu or Raahu. People must understand that all sciences have limitations. All your problems cannot be solved by astrology alone. Astrology is a great and important science. But we also have to ensure that the science is kept alive by good and genius astrologers. Many of them fleece the public these days. That is why so much discussion and stormy arguments on the pros and cons of this science. The whole science is dependent on the faith of the person and the strength of the astrologer. You will not need anything in life if you lead a life of truth, helpful and simplicity. Guru Bhakti is yet another great missile in your armory More thoughts from Swamiji on Astrology The flagpole represents our backbone. It is very important that we give respect to our backbone. How can we do that? Through Discipline, Yoga, and Diet. Then you all will live 100 years. Everyday you have to practice Yoga. Then you will have a healthy life. Do it for at least one hour. Also do Pranayama which brings longevity, memory power, and energy to fight evils. Because our body and mind fight six evils or enemies which give maximum trouble. When you respect this flag through meditation and Yoga, it helps you to change your attitude. Concentrate on the Sahasrara. It is a two petal lotus on the top of your head. Each petal has thousands of sub petals. Concentrate on the forehead and do meditation. But it must be done with great deliberation. Once you master it, you will not need, Gurus, temples, astrologers, swamis, saints or anybody. You will not need Chinese astrology, Philippine astrology. Palmistry will not be needed. Some even show their feet and predictions are made on the formation of the feet. All this is because human beings want security in life. That is why you run to different Gurus. This running after Gurus does not give you more peace. It is not necessary to search for Gurus. Search your heart. The answer is there. Because God is kind and compassionate and will fulfill your wishes - agastyaseikritt JAIGURUDATTA Friday, April 22, 2005 8:58 AM astrology & guru Your remarks are very true, I did not say anything about the reason why Sri Swamiji asked questions to an astrologer.
