Guest guest Posted February 20, 2001 Report Share Posted February 20, 2001 A while back on this list I recall someone saying they did not agree that Sade-sati was bad. I wish I had saved that information, because I just discovered I am going through sade-sati! I would sure love to hear something good about this. Thanks.

Namaste dear sister!!! there is a lot of stuff posted on this site relevant to Sade Sati...there was a fairly long discussion of it a while ago...around the one you were referred to....i too, had written a statement about Sade Sati in the same area...in which i stated that it depends a lot upon just what kind of relationship you have established with Saturn...if you are a worldly type you can expect some trouble.....and even if not, still Sade Sati is the time when teachings are delivered...try not to see it as "bad"...or "good"....it is just Prasad....the gift of Grace from the Divine...if we have the right attitude, we will see that whatever is coming to us is God's loving gift to us...including all the horrible things....we have to wonder why...but also we have to see how they are all parts of the School program in which we are enrolled by taking birth here on Earth... in my own case, my dad passed away during a combo of my sade sati, his sade sati, and my son's sade sati...mine was just beginning, my son's was almost over, and my dad's was just in the middle....however, he had been diagnosed with cancer and given only 6 months, 7 years before he passed away....so in reality even tho he had that diagnosis...Saturn had the good timing to choose a date in which three sade satis would be combining....what a set-up!! on the other hand a lot of blessings flowed thru sade sati too, as Saturn is my "friend", and as well is Atmakaraka, and lagnesha..(capricorn lagna)....i changed careers...(although the leaving of one was painful, and humiliating...(more saturnian humour)....and as soon as i chose SERVICE as a job, everything just changed around, and life began to be co-operative again....Sani LOVES service....(i'm still working in that job...although Sani continues to train me thru restriction, and constriction.....even tho i am NOT in Sade Sati, Sani IS directly aspecting my Sun right now, and my 11 th house.... So whether you see Sade Sati as bad or good, is more a question of your attitude than any objective qualities....although if you have a lagna which is in a sign unfriendly to Sani, you will probably have some more intense challenges served up...but the way i see it, is that each of those challenges is the Gift of the Divine Mother, bestowed upon us to remind us Who's REALLY in charge, and affording us the possibility of connecting meaningfully with Her.....if we see all of life as Guru's Prasad...or God's Prasad....then what will be the worry about a "difficult" sade sati....the more difficult in a way, the better, as those difficulties are merely God's way of both getting your attention, and burning up karmas..... i suppose one could be like that devotee of Krsna who prayed to Him for unceasing difficulties, because she realised that those difficulties were in fact helping her to connect more lovingly with Her Lord Krsna, and that those difficulties were in fact ESSENTIAL if one wanted to merge with the Lord....as there is no room for Krsna in one's heart if one's mind is on the girlfriend or the job......so painful teachings are given, strictly in accordance with the laws of karma....and only as necessary, to soften up that hard rock of a heart...to open up the doors and let the light of God to enter within.....if one were to ask the iron bar how it felt while being heated in the furnace, and then hammered mercilessly into shape by the smith, until it has assumed a rare and wonderful form, most beautiful to behold....we are the red-hot iron, and the Divine Mother is not about to stop beating on us until we have been molded into the shape that She would like us to be in....and, really, we shouldn't even ask Her to make it any easier,as it will just put off those karmas til later..... hope this has been of some help.....
