ETHICS OF A VEDIC ASTROLOGER

[Guest guest]

Dear Gurudeva Visti and respected Gurus and Shishyas,

I have been reading a lot of adverse posts on the lists about "WHO

IS THE BETTER ASTROLOGER ?" To me a good Vedic astrologer is one who

apart from his knowledge of the subject is also very Spiritual. One

quality of someone who is spiritual is "love for fellow humans and

genuine humility in life." I have quoted earlier too, a line from my

diksha gurudeva, Paramahansa Yogananda, "Humility is a virtue

pleasing to God above all others" The very ego in a vedic astrologer

will result in the fructification of bad karmic fruits directly

proportional to the accuracy of predictions. It hurts me to see

the "light of the vedas", JYOTISHA, being let down time and again by

a few ignorant people. Even if someone is the best astrologer in the

world, god will not give him the glory of salvation unless he learns

to be humble and follow the yogic sutras of Patanjali. Besides, what

respect will people have for someone who follows his ego more than

the light of god. My humble advice, The knowledge of Jyotish is

given by the divine mother to help people with this divine tool, not

to criticise other people, God does not care if you are the best

astrologer in the world, he will not give you salvation unless you

loose your animosity and hatred for other human beings and

the "killer" called "Ego" and you have LOVE in your heart above all

other manifestations of the self.

"The spiritual man conquers wrath by calmness, stops quarrels by

keeping silence, dispels inharmony by being sweet of speech, and

shames discourtesy by being thoughtful of others"

 

Jai Gurudeva,
