Guest guest Posted March 19, 2002 Report Share Posted March 19, 2002 Dear Cynthia you <<You know the story that Rohini washidden in Mrigashira>> me William Sullivan wrote a book about the Incas saying that by analysing their "myths" we can find astrological implications. Perhaps the above "myth" is related to the precession when Tropical Rohini was "hidden" in Sidereal Mrigasira. This phenomena happens 12 million times in a life of Brahma that is 311,040,000,000 years on earth. you <<Now here is the interesting part. I tell her that I find it synchronous that the women of Afghanistan threw off their burkas after years of hiding and showed themselves to the world on national TV. I asked if she was ready and she said. "I have a burka" In fact, she has had it since the 1960's and several years ago did a ritual with several friends where she threw it off.>> me Although the Vedas claim that both males and females are equal, male chauvinism has imposed certain "conditionments" on women in many cultures and issues. Those conditionments are very difficult to break to the point that we have seen on TV how some Afghan men still beat women, with an stick. One of those men said on TV, "Women have to learn discipline, otherwise they will go wild". I have seen twice on this list that when a woman speaks out, has been told to shout up by a male member. Habits are difficult to kill off. As an astrologer i have been doing charts in many different institutions and i have seen how many so called "spiritual" students, treat women like door maths. (Literary). Lets observe our "bad habits" and try to correct them. best wishes Natabara Das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Perhaps those men who choose to abuse women will find their lesson next life time and be a woman. The lesson eventually gets learned. I can remember male lifetimes clearly and yet you are correct, woman get a totally different response than men on vedic lists. This is unfortunate and short sighted. As a test I have my husband reveal the ayanamsa I use...rather than me...for then it is considered. As a Hindu wife I am treasured..the woman does the japa for the family...to hold the spirituality of the home is far more elevated than vacuuming..perhaps as women we have the best seat in the house. I heard a wish once made to a married couple..."may your love rise so high to touch the feet of God"...may that stand for us all. Having grown up around Mayan people I am used to a heightened awareness of moon...in North America persons are quite removed from the cycles of life. Upon coming to Canada and attending Latin dances(a major passion)...I was delighted to see that the Mayan people brought the planetary traditions so far north. Initially I was called bruja, but now am called psychico...despite the explanations of astrology. No matter it is said with great love. Animals are strong in many cultures, Mayan and Aztec...do you have any astrological references to say the Jaguar, Panther, Crow, etc... Even in Chinese studies we find the animals are ever present. Any references I may research? Many thanks. Love and light, alexandra PS. Very powerful word, intent. Thank you for speaking it. natabara <natabara (AT) ntlworld (DOT) com> wrote: Dear Cynthia you <<You know the story that Rohini washidden in Mrigashira>> me William Sullivan wrote a book about the Incas saying that by analysing their "myths" we can find astrological implications.

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2002 Report Share Posted March 20, 2002 Dearest Natabara, Perhaps those men who choose to abuse women will find their lesson next life time and be a woman. The lesson eventually gets learned. I can remember male lifetimes clearly and yet you are correct, woman get a totally different response than men on vedic lists. This is unfortunate and short sighted. As a test I have my husband reveal the ayanamsa I use...rather than me...for then it is considered.

When I read the stories in some of the Vedas it seems to me that women are repeatedly punished for simply being distracted or in the case, I can't recall their names, the young sisters who refused the old man and then the Vasus entered them and caused them to feel the pain of old age. I know that I am jaded by birth, but I also suspect that I have past life pain memories, but I struggle to understand that women are truly valued in Hinduism. I love Vedic astrology and long to stretch my understanding of the religion. Do you, have you studied the nakshatras and how are they taught? I know that they originated in the Indus Valley and that they are feminine in nature, still almost all have a male deity attached, how is that explained? I wonder because there are so many female deities yet only Nirriti (that is the only one that comes to mind) the destructive goddess is represented by a goddess. This is a sincere request for insight. I do know that I can only see with the eyes I have and hope to look through yours. cynthia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
