Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Vikas ji, At the risk of being misunderstood, yet again, I would like you to consider two things: Logic is a tool that is very useful in the physical reality, but still a tool. Many individuals kind of take it for granted that logic must underlie everything and then some even mix logic with belief and begin to stretch belief to fit logic and logic to fit their belief and it really ends up causing a lot of confusion and headaches! Now, how have you managed to convince yourself that 'remedies' are based on logical premises? Mother does not have a direct connection with her grown up child who is miles away in another continent, yet she senses that he is going to commit suicide and calls around which ends up saving her child. Where is the logic there? A doctor in training in a foreign land has a slight fever ('flu') and a mutual friend happens to visit her, she just looks a bit ill, he has a strange 'feeling' goes and tells her uncle about that, the uncle a very devout saint of a man, senses that 'unease' visits her that evening and finds that she is lying on the floor with severe meningitis. Quick trip to hospital, all the medical paraphernalia, artificial respirators and all for days, she manages to come back when originally it was a touch an go situation. Where is the logic in all that? Maybe there is but let us focus on something else now. Maybe *logic* is at the basis of everything, the logic that is known and revealed so far, and the logic that is not known but remains logical all the same, to be found in future. Or, being cautious, one may say that perhaps, just perhaps, logic is not covering all bases and there is something that may well be beyond what we know as logic. I know you asked a simple question, and expected a simple yes or no answer or something that may fit the current reality as understood. But I have just been warned about 'oversimplifying' -- hence this posta longa! I did post one astrological message this evening, at least one for sure <grumble grumble!> RR , "vikas" <vikasjeer wrote: > > Sirs, > please guide regarding the logc for doing remedies/pooja for 40 days > at a streach. > what should a person do in case he misses the pooja for one day after > 30 days ? > with regards > > vikas > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 dear friend vikas sage veda vyas has written that there is not best penance than fasting. sage angirasa has explained in detail how fasting helps. he narrated how fasting for how many days would get what benefit. jesus did continuous fasting for forty days, so did moses spent forty days in prayers. the difference between good friday and easter is 40 days observed as holy by christians. according to doctors, in such long duration fastings, the toxins in the body are eliminated. the nineth month of islam is observed as the month of fasting. there used to be a time cycle of forty days and forty nights. nine cycles of forty days gives you 360 days. in southern states, every winter many people take a 40 days diksha to impose self discipline, abstain from sex even in winter, non- vegetarian food and liquor and remain saatvik for these 40 days continously ending it with a visit to the lord atop a holy hill. according to many scriptures, continuous fasting or prayers for forty days is the maximum advised for penance. hence any remedy done for forty days continuously shows the maximum penance or self discipline one can demonstrate. there are many more mythical reasons from all religions for forty days of continuous fasting and prayers. (for example in ravan janmabhoomi in visrakh village in UP, no person could visit and worship the shivling worshipped by ravan and his father visrava for forty mondays continuously including the local villagers and the temple's mahant himself as during these ten months period, they go out of station for one work or other until i became the first person to visit that temple for 40 mondays continously starting last year.) since this is advised aking to a course of medicine which needs to be taken at a stretch, a break after 30 days would not give any negative result but shows that your resolve could not be accomplished. with best wishes arjun , "vikas" <vikasjeer wrote: > > Sirs, > please guide regarding the logc for doing remedies/pooja for 40 days > at a streach. > what should a person do in case he misses the pooja for one day after > 30 days ? > with regards > > vikas > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2006 Report Share Posted April 25, 2006 Dear Vikas, Our reverred friend has given a very very factual explanation and significance of 40 days fasting. All such remedial measures also need faith and trust in vedic approaches.In the words of a very renowned astrologer and a prolific writer in jyotish says"the success of astrological advice ,especially on any impending problem,will be potent in avoiding or alleviating it than arguing that the event must happen as predicted..Most of the remedial measures are meant to boost the morale of the suffere but to recommend and prescribe them would be to take astrology to the soosaying level of divining.' Some problems require will and require identification that needs some type of sacrifice.Kuch pane ke liye kuch khona hai. All these require deeksha and dedication.40 days are to be seen in that direction.So it is not really to be continuous. krishnan panditarjun2004 <panditarjun2004 wrote: dear friend vikas sage veda vyas has written that there is not best penance than fasting. sage angirasa has explained in detail how fasting helps. he narrated how fasting for how many days would get what benefit. jesus did continuous fasting for forty days, so did moses spent forty days in prayers. the difference between good friday and easter is 40 days observed as holy by christians. according to doctors, in such long duration fastings, the toxins in the body are eliminated. the nineth month of islam is observed as the month of fasting. there used to be a time cycle of forty days and forty nights. nine cycles of forty days gives you 360 days. in southern states, every winter many people take a 40 days diksha to impose self discipline, abstain from sex even in winter, non- vegetarian food and liquor and remain saatvik for these 40 days continously ending it with a visit to the lord atop a holy hill. according to many scriptures, continuous fasting or prayers for forty days is the maximum advised for penance. hence any remedy done for forty days continuously shows the maximum penance or self discipline one can demonstrate. there are many more mythical reasons from all religions for forty days of continuous fasting and prayers.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 Dear All, Besides what others have explained already, the LOGICAL rather astro- logical reason behind 40 days seems to be the cycles of Sun, Moon and inner planets. An astro-remedy always has a psychological back-ground and the remedy virtually strengthens the MIND first making the native FEEL that he is on the right track. The mind is always has a relation with Moon and the Sun. In 40 days, the Sun would have moved to next sign - say by 40 degrees; the Moon would have revolved 1.5 times around the Earth (27 + 13 days = 40) traversing EACH STAR(which is important in Vedic astrology) and making TWO definite combinations with Sun - Full Moon and New Moon. The inner planets Mercury and Venus would have moved considerably; would have changed their retro/ direct motion! When so much happens in the Zodiac, the native FEELS the change definitely, if not completely. This creates a positive move on the psychological grounds. Then follows the astrology! yours humbly KAD , vattem krishnan <bursar_99 wrote: > > Dear Vikas, > Our reverred friend has given a very very factual explanation and significance of 40 days fasting. > All such remedial measures also need faith and trust in vedic approaches.In the words of a very renowned astrologer and a prolific writer in jyotish says"the success of astrological advice ,especially on any impending problem,will be potent in avoiding or alleviating it than arguing that the event must happen as predicted..Most of the remedial measures are meant to boost the morale of the suffere but to recommend and prescribe them would be to take astrology to the soosaying level of divining.' > Some problems require will and require identification that needs some type of sacrifice.Kuch pane ke liye kuch khona hai. > All these require deeksha and dedication.40 days are to be seen in that direction.So it is not really to be continuous. > krishnan > > panditarjun2004 <panditarjun2004 wrote: > dear friend vikas > > sage veda vyas has written that there is not best penance than > fasting. sage angirasa has explained in detail how fasting helps. he > narrated how fasting for how many days would get what benefit. jesus > did continuous fasting for forty days, so did moses spent forty days > in prayers. the difference between good friday and easter is 40 days > observed as holy by christians. according to doctors, in such long > duration fastings, the toxins in the body are eliminated. the nineth > month of islam is observed as the month of fasting. there used to be > a time cycle of forty days and forty nights. nine cycles of forty > days gives you 360 days. > > in southern states, every winter many people take a 40 days diksha to > impose self discipline, abstain from sex even in winter, non- > vegetarian food and liquor and remain saatvik for these 40 days > continously ending it with a visit to the lord atop a holy hill. > > according to many scriptures, continuous fasting or prayers for forty > days is the maximum advised for penance. hence any remedy done for > forty days continuously shows the maximum penance or self discipline > one can demonstrate. there are many more mythical reasons from all > religions for forty days of continuous fasting and prayers.

Guest guest Posted April 26, 2006 Report Share Posted April 26, 2006 dear RR ji thanks for your nice words. thanks to IT revolution started by Manmohansingh and PV Narasimha Rao ji in early 1990s and few people like narayanamurthy of infy, ramalingaraju of satyam and premji of wipro, the TCS etc. at least the educated masses of this country have accepted all states, castes, languages equally with merit becoming the only criterion or yardstick for measuring a person, the entire south india has become rich and most families are a happier lot due to millions of lucrative IT jobs and the standard of living also increased considerably. along with the money, people's thinking power has also increased and people have started questioning "why" instead of blindly following any thing. this is where we astrologers or healers need to give a convincing reasoning or rationale for anything we preach to the suffering natives. also in this vast country where we are rubbing shoulders with crores of christians, muslims, sikhs, jains and other religions, inter religious marraiges and inter caste marriages have become an accepted reality without any fear of ostracisation. a girl's parents who used to spend years in searching a groom for their daughter are now finding lakhs of choices at the click of a mouse and millions of marriages are happening within days, thanks to www which made the entire world a global village. the old orthodox ritualistic practices are now replaced with practically feasible realisitc practices. even with the advent to the most latest technologies in all fields, few professions like doctors, teachers and astrologers remained and will remain noble forever . with increasing expectations from these professionals, of late, an astrologer is also expected to support the native in finding his health problems and suggest remedies besides teaching him the mental blocks he shall remove or the attitudes he shall change (caused by planets?). instead of threatening the native with mythical non-existing negative doshams to make his living, an astrologer shall strive to make the native happy by finding his or her problems and suggest suitable remedies with the sole objective of bringing relief to the native. some astrologers who learnt reiki got added advantage as they could bring some instant relief to the native with thier positive energies. in olden day many and in recent days few astrologers also use their divine energies developed through meditation in blessing their natives which come true. another role of astrologer is that of the priest in a church who hears confessions. people who feels guilty approach an astrologer and confide their mistakes and seek advice on precluding them. here the role of an astrologer shall be to forgive him and suggest him that he has the potential to become a better human being and lead a more happy life if he or she do this or that and put the blame on the process instead of the person. i am sure most the astrologers have observed that the querents come crying and go smiling. so the querents feel like this "rote rote aate hai, haste haste jaate hai". so let us all strive to make as many people happy and bring smiles on as many faces as we can and in doing so, we will also remain happy and keep smiling. with best wishes pandit arjun , "crystal pages" <jyotish_vani wrote: > > Shri Arjun ji, > > Enjoyed your post very much which tried to include and consider many > beliefs and realities, not necessarily your own by birth (I am being > presumptive, of course) in this lifetime are what the world needs > today and was touching, personally.
