Good Psychic vs. Jyotish (and stories)

[Guest guest]

If there's anything I wish I had done differently years ago, would be

to have spent the money on a good jyotish reading, even if it took a

couple of tries or different astrologers. I would have been better

prepared for my life's struggles if I had.

 

Certain members of my family have always had a bend towards going to

psychics, and I use to go too. Most, if not all the time, people are

seeking either solace or guidance. Nothing lasting can come from

them. Although my sister's friend was able to accurately describe the

first meeting between her and her now husband, the lady was so

sensitive she couldn't enter hospitals and was a social invalid. Oh,

and she and her sisters would cast curses against parts of the world

when they were younger, and then watch the news to see if anything

happened. Hmm, and they all take anti-depressants and choose abusive

men for relationships because of chemical imbalances? Naw... This

particularly lady's husband eventually got fed-up and divorced her.

 

Jyotish is an accurate science if properly done. For example, the

concept of a "mangalik" who is pretty much destined not to get

married. Even Swami P said that Amma said that if she had gotten

married, her husband would have died (one possible scenario for

mangaliks; do a Google for more info). Also, for brothers or

father/sons to be born in the same sign/house is Inauspicious (I can

personally testify to the brothers part).

 

I've read that if the son is born in the same house (and other

similars) as the father, "It will cause the death of the father on the

day of birth". I know someone this happened to. A close friend of

my band's drummer in highschool hung out with us, but was from a

different school. He had good looks, plenty of ease getting the hot

girls, a nice sports car, etc., but we all wondered why he was out

stealing car radios, and later getting busted for stealing cars. So we

asked, "What's up with this guy?" My drummer said, "Well, when he was

born, his father died. The money is from his stepdad's side." And

we were like, "So what? Everyone has tough things to over come, he

seems to be financially set."

 

My drummer said, "No, no, you don't understand. Literally, as he was

being born, as he was shooting out of his mother, flying across the

room, his mother got the call that her husband had died in an

accident." My drummer was quite the cut-up. "And so he blames himself

for his father's death." The father was a Venuzuelan Air Force pilot

if I recall and died in a crash.

 

I've since included planetary mantras in my sadhana, along with

ordering an occasional puja when I can afford. I would definitely add

some planetary appeasement to the Amma satsang structure if it was up

to me, but it's not.

I concede that this may be unusual, but I had a reading in which a pattern/vasana was

illuminated for me in a way that did help me to free myself from a certain struggle.

I knew someone like this. She could almost never leave her house. It was a sad situation.

I agree Jyotish can be a valuable tool in capable hands. Hard to judge that though.

 

Actually Amma's claim about astrology has now brought its accuracy down to 50% according to Her during one of Her retreat Q & A (Alburquerque I believe--can't remember which one). It used to be 90%, then 80% and so on. Prasannan and I joked about the change on Tour. Interestingly, it didn't have an effect on his bookings.

 

Even in the scriptures relating to Jyotish itself, it states that it is never performed wholly accurately. In fact the revealer of the system put a curse on it as such. She also mentioned this in Her talk.
