Last call for classes in Dracut, Mass, USA

[Guest guest]

Namaste friends,

 

Tomorrow (Sunday, 22nd May 2004) will be the third Jyotish class in greater

Boston. The classes are free and open to everyone who believes in God in some

form or the other and respects the teachings of maharshis. I am starting from

scratch and teaching the little I know.

 

The last two classes were very introductory and we basically went thru

philosophical foundations. We looked at the natures of planets etc. We looked

at the association of planets with Vishnu's incarnations as taught by Parasara

and explained the associations.

 

For example, take Vamana and Jupiter. Each of us is a microcosmic representation

of Narayana (The Supracosmic Person) and the entire universe has a micro-replica

within us. Jupiter, the teacher of gods, manifests in each of us as the

intelligence, wisdom and discretion. He teaches and promotes the gods (various

good qualities) within us. Emperor Bali, who was a demon king known for his

generosity, is the proud generosity within us. When we are generous and are

proud about it, we are internally going thru the reign of Bali. Vishnu was born

as Vamana, a very learned dwarf, and ended Bali's reign. Similarly, when

humility (Vamana, the learned dwarf!) is born within us, the reign of Bali

(proud generosity) ends within us. As humility is a form of intelligence,

wisdom and discretion, Vishnu's incarnation of Vamana has Jupiter's energy.

 

Similarly, we looked at other incarnations like Koorma, Parasurama, Varaha etc

and understood the metaphorical meanings of the stories and the associations of

incarnations with planets.

 

>From tomorrow's class, the real astrology will begin. We will be learning houses, aspects etc.

 

Those of you who live near Boston and want to learn astrology from the beginning

may want to consider attending the classes. If you want to come, start from

tomorrow. It will be difficult to catch up if you join later.

 

The classes are 9 am - 11 am at:

 

Sadhu Vaswani Center1827 Bridge StDracut, MA

 

My cell phone number is (508) 963-6273.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
