2-Bharat, > Mark Kincaid...9/23...re..More about the Sun....etc....

September 23, 2004

Dear Bharat:

I think it's understandable that your dasa experience was so 'positive'

because of it's even more special status in your chart.

But, I know a number of people, who had either Saturn in Aries, debilitated,

or poorly aspected in their chart, whom, their Sun periods were full of the

challenges as outlined in their charts...

So, anyone else, have experiences like this...?

And, anyone else, have positive experiences of trying to strengthen their

Sun's...

My Sun, too is in Leo, in the 11th house, in my chart, and the source of a

lot of goodness for me, but it's only 2 degrees away from Ketu, so there are

some challenges.

In fact, I'm noticed with each day that I practice meditation, and I open

myself, to the experience of the full potential of the Sun,....Self...

in the pure Consciousness, within,....my Sun, too, gets brighter and

brighter....

Other aspects of the Sun,.......for example....like....

the will

and self-confidence...

I notice, strengthen,...through a using of the will...

There's an old expression....."Where there's a will, there's a way......"

and another...."Whatever you put your attention on, grows stronger in your

life...."

And I know that those, who focus on using their will, exercising it, as

if,....do find more strength..

There are also, mantras for the Sun, of course,....

and soooo many aspects of Vedic Science, which have to do, directly, with

the unfoldment of the Self,....which is after all, the Sun....

inside of us!

ciao

Re: 2-Bharat & All, > Mark Kincaid...9/23...re..How to

Strengthen the Sun, for example....

Hi Mark and All:

You are very accurate in stating the qualities of Sun in life. I would share

my practical experience here about Sun in particular. I had my Sun Dasha

running from 1993-1999 and i was outright winner. I have Sun in Leo in my

3rd house. I did excellent in education, sports and everything on the basis

of self confidence and optimism. Sun does manifest itself in everybodies

chart cause its power is never reduced...its never goes into combustion or

retrogation ( i hope i am right here ) .

Some of the age old remedies for Sun which my grandfather used to ask me to

do was offer Water to the rising sun every morning (rising sun) and doing

"Surya Namaskar" facing east and watching sun. Its the only time in the day

when you can look at sun and talk to your lord. There are other mantras and

gems which will help but having eye to eye contact with Lord and asking his

favour is the best way i guess. Sun/Moon are the only planets we can see

with our naked eyes and have a connectivity.

Mark. Please have a look at my chart and let me know what other planets do i

need to strengthen.

Dear Bharat:

I think this is what I love the most about 'Jyotish Remedites', is the focus

on improveing...

It's not enough to just know that we'll have this weakness, sadness and

grief, but it's much more important to learn to focus on the solutions...

This is a new emphasis, today, especially in the field of Jyotish..

and we here at jr, can help spearhead, this very important development...

I suggested below we focus on some unique remedies systematically for each

planet,

so I'll start...

The Sun....

The most important heavenly body, within our entire solar system.

Everything revolves around the Sun....

When the Sun is weak or negatively aspected, a person's self-confidence,

self-esteem and self-worth can be sorely effected.

When the Sun is in a negative way, the lack of self-confidence, will

therefore effect every aspect of life...

So, let's reflect upon the Sun,....and some possible Jyotish Remedies, we

can suggest, or think of...

Because the Sun,...represents the Self....

All, practices, or methodologies, that have a goal to strengthen, or

enliven, even find the 'Self' inside...will help.

Therefore meditation is a very timely established technique for improving

the Self...and therefore the Sun,....within, one's chart....as well as

life...

I know many people who had less then steller, self-confidence, who then

picked up the practice of meditation, and even only a small amount of time,

daily, still, had an effect of dramatically improving their Self-worth...

A famous Vedic Scholoar said in India, recently, "don't take your charts,

like they're written in stone, they're just the state of your Phsyiology, at

birth."

I believe this, now, and it's very encouraging to see, changes and

improvements, that are especially directed at one or another of our malefic

situations, can and does make very significant improvements!

Another thing I personally recomend to people who want to improve their

Sun's or self-confidences, is the Upanishads.

The Upanishads, are all about, the Self...

"Thou art that, and I am...That....and all this is That!"

is one of the most classic ones...

"I am the Totality,.... I am Brahman...."

is another...

Anyone else, have any interesting things they have done to improve the Sun's

in their charts?

Sincerely,

Mark Kincaid

Re: 2-Tanvir, & all, > Mark Kincaid...9/23...re....Life is

fair.... & practicalities of Jyotish

Excellent Article Mark I am convinced with what you say.

Mark Kincaid <m.kincaid wrote:Dear Tanvir, friends, all:

What I love about Jyotish, or Astrology, even modern science, is...that we

don't really even have to believe that these things are coming from past

life times, if we don't want.

It's almost enough, that our charts fit us.

So, for whatever the reason, (though of course I, too, believe in past

lives),...still...

once we see that there is a direct correlation between our charts,,....and

our lives...

I call it the '1 to 1 Correspondence'....

There's literally a 1 to 1 correspondence between all the details of our

lives,

our heighth,

our personality...

our mind sets,

our emotional nature,...

etc...

on and on...

each area of our life, even can be found clearly, predictable, from our

charts...

Jyotish, then, is like this really profound, genetics,... in other words,

genetics, scientists, believe there is a 'gene' explanation for everything

too...

and their hope, as it should be in Jyotish,...is once we know the genetics,

'mapping', then, we can seek to improve any faulty or undeveloped genes that

we might be born with...

It doesn't matter whether our genes are caused by previous births, what

really matters is that 1 to 1 mapping, and the ability, to change and

improve our genes!

Jyotish is this perfect, ancient wisdom, that has known about this literal 1

to 1 'mapping' for 1,000's of years...

And today, thanks in part, to such groups as these, 'Jyotish

Remedies'....... now, Jyotish, and remedial measures, are being sorely,

emphasized again!

When I first started studying Jyotish over 16 years ago, you'd pick up any

book on eastern astrology and there would be 195 pages on the Jyotish, and

at the end, almost tacked on, like an after thought, would be 5 pages of

remedial measures...

Today, we're in the middle of a huge revival of the importance of this

remedial aspect of Jyotish.

So, like genetics, it doesn't really matter whether our charts, and lives

are caused by the past.

What really matters is the ability to improve our Cosmic, Jyotish, genes!

One of my insights re. Jyotish has been that the Malefics, in our charts,

are not just symbolic of the problems and mistakes, and sufferings, we'll

have to endure,...

they also represent the specific planets, (like genes), that need to be

improved, especially in order to improve that part of our lives, and chart,

where that malefic planet is.

Take Mars in the 7th for example.

It's definitely, symbolic of challenges in domestic, marital life.

And though most of the time, people just throw up their hands and say marry

someone else with Kuja dosha....

In this new light of remedial measures, we can see, that if Mars could be

improved, .... balanced or strengthened... then, we might be able to effect

the very important part of our lives dealing with marriage, relationships

and partnerships, of all kinds...

I also like looking at Jyotish in terms of Psychology.

To me, Jyotish is pure 'Vedic Psychology'....

So, not only does Mars represent hardships, disagreements, fights, etc. with

'mates'.... but Mars also represents our fire element, our action sense, and

our agressive tendencies.

In the future, Vedic Psychologists, will see configurations like these, and

then, encourage the 'person', to change those patterns within themselves,

that they feel are important or necessary to act that way!

Then, we can look to such great Vedic sciences like meditation, yoga and

Ayurved, to help us eliminate even very frustrating habits and mental

patterns, though they often seem, very fixed, and permanent, they are in

fact,.... our creations, and therefore within our control...to change...

It would be fun, to take some time, in the future, to look at the Sun and

each planet and come up with a series of very specific Psychological

'remedies' that might be able to help a person, re-program their

malefics,....into strengths!

Re: Life is not fair---Tanvir

of course, before coming to astrology i did not believe in karma/rebirth

too. but it is the only explanation/reason to say that god is not this cruel

and hurting us for nothing. i like to take god as a kind existance, so i

believe in this.

also there is another strong reason to believe in this. all the things

taught by hinduism [that i can verify] are found true by me, say jyotish,

mantras, remedies, yantras, even their old scientific theories are true, i

find. so i have a feeling that their rebirth theory is also true and this is

only the reason that can explain the jyotish, and why 'innocent' people

suffer, and without the rebirth theory jyotish and the whole system comes up

with a serious, big "missing part"...

Re: Life is not fair---Tanvir

Dear friends,

We see how beautifully Astrology depicts major course of our life.

We live as per our destiny.In good times every thing goes right and

you get every thing. When you are running a bad period , even your

best friends would cause some harm to you and you are physically and

emotionally drained. We can see this through Astrolgy.

But the things which comes to my mind again and again is whether the

theory of Karma [our fortune or misfortune are the results of our

actions in previous births] is authentic or bogus.

Human population has grown from one billion to six billion in last

100 years. That means about 500 billions first time created

indivisuals without any merits/demerits accrued from the past.

How traditional theory of Karma applicable to them ?!

I feel that Divine creates each of us by random. In the expanding

universe small particles like our lives are created with some random

selection. There may be some rules/nature/divinity in such

randomness but it should not be law of Karma.

Manoshi must be right in saying that we have to accept the life as

it comes. Life may be emerging out of nothingness only to go back

into nothingness after brief earthy sojourn.
