Guest guest Posted April 26, 2008 Report Share Posted April 26, 2008 According to Indian astrology, today marks the beginning of a new year, with the first day of thefirst month Chaitra. It is a Thursday. For every year, there is a ruling deity and there is a ministerto the ruler from among the nine planets. For this Akshaya, the ruler is Brihaspati (Jupiter) andthe minister is Chandra (the Moon). Both these planets are favourably placed and will havebeneficent influences on the world, according to astrology. Because of the moon's favourableaspect---the moon being the presiding deity for the mind---the mental dispositions of people ingeneral are likely to be calm and peaceful. It is essential, in this connection, to recognise theintimate link between thoughts and actions. All the world's troubles today are due to the fact thatthere is no harmony between men's thoughts and words and their deeds. There is no dearth todayof persons who preach Dharma (righteousness). There is no limit to propagandists, but thosewho practise what they preach are few and far between. The world needs today more people whowill practise the good life and strive for the welfare of mankind. Rather than preach a hundredprecepts, it is better to practise a few of them. http://www.sssbpt.info/ssspeaks/volume19/sss19-07.pdf sb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
