ashtamasani-Dear Gurudeva

July 5, 2002

Hare Rama Krishna

Jaya Jagannatha

Dear Sanjay Rath Gurudeva,

Please accept my humble pranaams.I read your description of

AshtamaSani, and have two questions.

I have had Ashtama Sani while seen from my Lagna Libra,while the

transit in Taurus was the 12th from my Aruda Lagna and 5th from my

Moon sign Capricorn. Surprisingly, the last 2.5 years have been very

auspicious as I got married, changed jobs to a profession which i like

(even though there was some pressure as a result), and we are also

expecting our first born. More importantly my spritual life has

vastly improved where we installed Sri Sri Jagannath Baladeva

Subhadra Devi and Sri Sri Gaura Nitai at Home and started deity

worship, regular chanting of Maha Manthra and also had association

from only devotees.

Now my questions are-

1)Could these highly auspicious events be because of Sanideva being

my Atmakaraka.The auspiciousness I can say started in June 2000

though I did face a lot of mental tension on the professional front

between Mar2000 and Jan 2001,the end result was a positive change.

2)Does my moon sign being Capricorn and Lagna Libra being Saturn's

own and mithra house have played a role.Does it affect some people

only from the Moon sign.

Thanks in advance.

Radhekrishna,

Dear Sudarshan,

I am also going through Sani dasa, since my Janma Rashi is Thula,

and my Moon rashi is also Thula. Eventhough, Sani is my Aatmakaaraka,

most of what Guru Sanjay told about Ashtama Shani has happened to me.

I have been deprived of love from my near and dear ones. I am in USA,

a strange and foriegn land without much beneficial career line. My

spiritual life is in shambles, as I used to do Rudra japam and vedic

studies when I was in India. Maybe because of a better aspect of

Jupiter on me, I have thwarted many evil troubles nagging my body and

my mind, and still get an occasional spiritual retreat. I have lost

interest in almost everything, though the last month has seen a

little rise of confidence in me. So, I donot know what to expect.

Pranams,

Eswar

Hare Rama Krishna

Dear Easwar,

I have come across events like Gurudev described in many texts, but

in my case the last 2.5 years , though filled with mental worry on

account of profession for the first 6 months, has been largely very

auspicious.Thats the reason for my question.I would love to hear

Gurudeva's comments.

The period did start with tremendous pressure from superiors in march

2000(It started suddenly with my boss who days before that held me in

good books) and then it bought me back into Krishna Conciuosness

(after a lapse of nearly a year)obviously like the Supreme Lord says

in the Bhagavad Gita that He is also sought by those in distress.But

that rejuvenated my spiritual life by first giving me Sadhu Sangha, I

used to spend time in the Bhaktivedanta Ashram in NYC after work.

It then in the midst of a storm at work, gave me a trip to India, for

vacation.I got married to a very pious girl and believe it or not ,

we went on a Parikrama of temples in southern India instead of a

honeymoon.The pressure ended at work in Jan 2000 and it was very

favorable.The Deities of Sri Jagannath, Baladeva,Subhadra and Sri Sri

Gaura Nitai gave us their causeless mercy by coming home.That

strenthgthened my devotional service and also provided Maha prasadam

everyday as the Deities were offered Bhoga.

And today I cannot imagine a life without Krishna Conciousness and by

the grace of God it is strengthened every day.

So I bow down to my Atmakaraka for steering me in the right direction.

PLease chant the Maha Manthra with faith as the Lord says in the Gita,

that He would never let His devotees perish.He says that "For MY

devotees, I shall carry what they lack and preserve what they have".

According to Sri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu,Krishna's most recent

incarnation,the chanting of the Maha Manthra is the yuga dharma.The

most merciful Lord has vested all His energies in His holy name.The

holy Name is non -different from Him as He is absolute.There is no

better Yagna in this Kali Yuga.

Even with my very defective chanting,I lead a very peaceful life so

what to say of those devotees who chant in a pure way.So please chant-

Hare Krishna Hare Krishna

Krishna Krishna Hare Hare

Hare Rama Hare Rama

Rama Rama Hare Hare.

Best wishes

Jaya Jagannatha

Om Namo Bhagavate Vaasudevaya

Dear Sudarshana

Yes. I fully agree. But I have a mission, an unfulfilled duty from another

time, a promise (10th lord) from another life to one so pure and so devoted.

It is Jagannath Who shall give me this opportunity and it is He who will

also deliver. Maha Mantra is for big people..I am a little soul who is still

stuck at the root of the Mahamantra..with the Janaka Shadakshari.."Hare Rama

Krishna". I have faith that one day Rama will come like He came for Sri

Janaka and my Karma will end like they did for Sudama.

With best wishes

Sanjay Rath
