Jyotisham (Astrology)

[Guest guest]

Jyotisham (Astrology) is the subject, which relates to Jyoti or

planet. The actual meaning of Jyoti is only God. According to the

Veda (Param Jyotirupasampadyate) and the Brahma Sutras (refer the

sutra of Jyotiradhikaranam). Jyoti means light. The planet is like

the jailor guiding you to the jail where you will enjoy the misery

or is like a guide who guides you to a bar like heaven where you

will drink and sleep. The planet guides you to the fruit of your

deed. It is called as Graha, which means that it will capture you

wherever you are present to deliver the fruit of your deed to you at

the exact fraction of second. It is a computerized system of deeds

and fruits. This computer does all the calculations and is called as

Chitra Gupta.

 

Chitra Gupta means the protector of witness through the audio and

video system. All your thoughts, words and deeds are recorded and

will be exhibited as witness in the upper world. The judge does not

require any type of other witness. There is no need of an advocate

and therefore such provision does not exist. You will just see and

hear your thoughts, words and deeds in the audio and video system

(Chitra Gupta) and an automatic judgment is delivered by another

system called as Yama. There is no possibility of doing any ritual

there since it is only a place of enjoyment of fruits (Bhoga Loka).

All the heavenly pleasures and hell-punishments are given according

to periods of another horoscope that is prepared based on the time

of death. Thus the wheel of the planets is the executive system of

the soul in this world as well as in the upper world. Yama is the

son of the Sun like Saturn, is also the controlling powerful planet

in the upper world.

 

The Lord is all in all and is the employer of the planets. The

planets function due to the fear about Lord. The Veda says the same

(Bhishodeti Suryah). Astrologers are like the elementary school

teachers and should become spiritual gurus like professors. The

priests and the astrologers should rise in their standards and guide

the people to the spiritual path. Instead of doing so, both have

colluded and are doing business by exploiting the public. The

astrologer takes some money for studying the horoscope and

recommends the Japam of a planet. The priest does it and gives

commission to the astrologers. It is like a doctor referring the

patient to the laboratory for diagnosis for getting the commission.

The whole spirit is lost and the spiritual path is lost long back in

this Kali Yuga.

 

The priests and the astrologers say a story that even Lord Shiva

suffered due to Saturn. The story is only a creation for promoting

the business. Even if you believe the story, you can take it in

positive sense. You can understand that even the Lord respects the

cycle of deeds. What sin Lord Shiva did to undergo the affect of

Saturn? The story is foolish even at the root. Let us assume that

even Lord Shiva has to suffer the affect of Saturn for a bad deed.

If that is so, how can an ordinary human being escape the same type

of effect with the help of this petty priest and petty astrologer?

Astrology is elementary level of spiritual knowledge, which

introduces the super-natural power that is beyond the science. This

should finally lead to the existence of unimaginable God beyond

logic and science. Astrology is not allowed to grow to become

philosophy by these commercial intellectuals. Its growth is arrested

and is limited so that the exploitation of devotees can take place.

Astrology should be allowed to become philosophy. The school

education should grow to become the university standard. The priests

and astrologers should develop to become spiritual gurus. Otherwise

they are doing sin in the name of God, which will affect them here

and there.
