Dear Mark

and Manjunath, Namaskar

My personal

experience with the incorporation of Jyotish with Yoga began when i went for a

reading at the copper-plate reader in Puri, Orissa. The reader is supposed to

be a channel for 12 students of Sri Achyuta Dasa, who started a Jyotish

Parampara in Orissa.

There I and

others were told which form of Yoga we should practice to get the best results.

Here it wasn’t one uniform style of Yoga, but each were told which of the

steps we should focus more on. i.e. some were told to do pranayama, or japa or

dhyana-yoga. Some were even told to focus on the yamas or niyamas.

Nevertheless

an interesting experience which i felt i should share with you.

Best

wishes,

***

I've been

following his Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's interest and

revitalization,

of all Vedic

Knowledge including yoga, mediation, and Jyotish for many

years, now.

It's a very

exciting thing to be happening.

good luck...

Mark Kincaid

One of my

most special interests is in incorporating good and great Jyotish

with the

development of consciousness through such things as meditation.

I'd love to

hear of your experience and progress adding meditation, to what

I'm assuming

you already have some experience in Jyotish, yes?

I however,

came the opposite direction. Learned meditation first and then,

later,

stumbled into Jyotish.

I now, believe

that Jyotish, & Ayurved, to name just a few of the wonderful

vedic

sciences, all, can have a very powerful effect on improving our

charts,

especially the malefic planets that are reflective of all our

problems, in

life...

Dear Manju:

sorry, but I have no experience with the Lakshmi, mantra you mentioned.

However, having become a teacher of Transcendental Meditation, myself, I can

importance of learning meditation, privately, and from qualified

teachers.

Good luck.

Dear Manju:

>> I'd

suggest not practing japa, while riding a bike, or driving a car, or

doing anything, except

>>

that mantra performance.

>>

>>

Some great Vedic Scholars, Rishis, say it actually divides the mind, to

practice a technique and at the same time, be doing some mental or physical

performance.

>>

>>

Having meditated myself, since 1970!, I'd agree.

>>

>>

However, as a result of meditating, then, one's enjoyment at riding the

bike, can be emmense!
