Modern Worldly Jyotish

[Guest guest]

Dear Friends,

 

Regardless of the spiritual potential that exists in small,

unexplored corners of jyotish texts, particularly classics, much of

jyotish, to my reading and understanding is aimed at ordinary,

mundane, routine matters. Routine matters that to the

average 'householder' can bring much anguish, a feeling of

helplessness and even pain. The following are the areas that keep

coming up in larger numbers as jyotish questions or things

individuals seek readings for:

 

Relationships

marriage and love

children and parents

work colleagues and siblings

Finances, security of comfortable living, now and particularly in

old age

Occupation, particularly in these cruel days when jobs are lost for

no fault of individuals

Success and fame (particularly when pot-bellied politicians

and CEOs approach you)

Diseases and remedies: prognosis, diagnosis, quality of life

Line of work: which is the best path to follow, business or service

Line of study: which educational track to go into

Longevity

Spiritual quest and progress

 

 

While it is tempting to delve into the higher realm, very little

individual benefit would accrue to the individual who seeks a

reading. On the other hand, the other *boring* (as some call those!)

worldly matters abound aplenty and must remain the focus of

jyotishis and an area where skills must continually be honed. Fact

of matter is that if a cold study is conducted, success rates of

most jyotishis would not hold up to their or their fans' claims. If

it were that simple, jyotishis would be accepting challenges to

demonstrate their abilities all over the place. They don't and

endeavours like the Hamilton Project, initiated sincerely are

doomed. Part of the fault is in the design, the designing ability of

the researchers involved, lack of resources and so on.

 

I hope I am not boring or upsetting anyone who would rather not

explore or face reality. The intention is not to belittle or

challenge anyone but to stimulate and encourage all, particularly

those who have not yet pinned their egos to jyotish, to bear the

responsibility of not only carrying the torch but to make sincere

efforts of lighting it first before letting the hamstrings take a go

at it.

Rohini,

 

There is nothing boring about the troubles we face in

our lives .. and there is no secondary ulterior motive

of Jyotish than to solve the mundane problems of our

lives .. because they are real to the person

experiencing them !!

 

Also, I believe that when someone comes to a jyotish

with his chart to solve his problem .. it's a patient

with a disease going to a doctor ... to the patient

the doctor can fix it !! to a doctor he is just

another vulnerable human being prone to his

irritations and downs during any day ...

 

What I mean to highlight is that there should be a

code of ethics that we should consciously imbibe when

we look into charts ... it's our responsibility not to

be fatalistic or be careless in what we see and say ..

and more specifically say what we know for sure or at

least are reasonably sure of .. because the person

reading our response, by his own belief, might take it

to be true and act accordingly ...

 

I have learnt a bit of astrology myself ... but I have

tried to refrain from giving analysis unless I am very

sure .. and I know that will take time ...

 

In this respect, the tests taht Tanvir is putting

across is invaluable to test our skills ... In some

ways maybe retro fits can help us learn ... much like

how a doctor learns ....

 

Thanks for sharing ur views !
