Guest guest Posted March 13, 2005 Report Share Posted March 13, 2005 Dear Pradeep: No Problem. And, you're right to the entent that all the details of our conversations, can't be flushed out in a couple emails. I've just been trying to bring out the points, that my Guru, the great Maharishi Mahesh Yogi, of transcendental meditation, fame, expresses regarding why India, being the home of the Ved, as ever suffered, or fallen under hard times. One of 'his' greatest insights, is that the ability to meditate, to transcend, to especially transform oneself, in a natural, and effortless way,.... once being lost,.... is the real reason, why problems in life, persist. He says the greatest problem of present day India, is that Indians have gotten so entrenched in their present mind-set, or view, that it's either difficult to grow, or become enlightened, ... that they therefore rationalize the point of view, therefore, that 'fate' alone, is. This is a great mistake or tradegy from the Maharishi's point of view, and his main effort all these 50 years now, teaching all over the World, is to revitalize Vedic culture, and Vedic Knoweledge... For me,.... This was my main point and intention, to give a reflection on how, now, we can begin to see, that the malefics, in our charts, as Jyotish, explains very beautifully, can themselves, be changed, improved or transformed. My experience and fortunate insight into this aspect of Vedic Astrology, has allowed me to understand some of the most precicous aspects of life & Astrology. I agree with you, however, that the issue is very complicted, but the key, for each one of us, is learning how to evolve, to grow, and turn our malefic challenges, into our growth opportunities!

Dear Mark, Your above conclusion/remark/opinion is too simplistic, astrologically as well as logically. There could be many factors influencing the fate of indians (or of anybody else), may be we are not aware of. If you read history, there are certain questions why europeans became powerful & successful since last 1000 years or more since last 500 years? Why indians lost their glory in the same period? There could be astrological reasons. One could approach the same question with the help of any other science such as history, socilogy, pscychology, astrology etc. Who knows what is fate of people on earth in coming 500 years? I hope you take my comments in a positive sense. Regards, Pradeep Sponsor vedic astrology/ vedic astrology <vedic astrology?subject=Un> Terms of Service <> .
