Prathosh Followup

[Guest guest]

My dear Prathosh,No matter how much you may get angry, I will always

come back to you with the same affection that I have for one who is

taking the sacred name of Sri Jagannath Krishna. I have waited for a

few days for the emotion to subside so that you can see the rationale

of what is stated. I will also try to answer the questions you have

raised about my personal life to the best of my abilities.

 

About my personal life

1. That I had married, marriage broke and am remarried.

My chart details: 7 August 1963, 9.15 PM IST, Sambalpur India.

 

Firstly, my first marriage was done in the sly without the knowledge

of my parents and family. It was a big mistake. I did not even take

Gurudev into consideration nor did I inform him. If you look at my

chart, just like your chart I have Venus afflicted by Saturn, Rahu and

Sun constituting a *curse of Venus* which causes much suffering in

married life. Venus is ALSO in Scorpio navamsa just like your chart.

 

If only I had obeyed Gurudev and done those remedial measures

prescribed...but that was not to happen as I was an obstinate,

emotional fool who believed that inter-region and inter-caste marriage

is good for the integration of India! Little did I realise that this

has nothing to do with India and that it did not matter in the big

picture of life. Yes, I do regret that I had not done the Kamalatmika

sadhana and instead did the Bagalamukhi sadhana for strength.

We make choises at every point of time in life and shall head towards

our destinies based on these decisions.

 

Remarriage is better than sleeping around with many and it is better

for a man to marry and settle down than to roam around with multiple

relationships. That is if the person does not become a sanyasi (monk).

I hope you agree with this social thinking. If you don't, please do

not trouble yourself with the remedial measures I have suggested and

go ahead with what you are doing. That is what I believe in and hence

remarried in the presence of my parents, grandmother, grand aunts,

grand uncles and all family. This time it was not done in the sly/hiding.

 

If you look at my navamsa, first marriage is seen in the 7th house -

Taurus with Rahu and Mars; break of marriage is seen in the 8th house

- Gemini ruled by Mercury caused break; 2nd marriage ruled by

Sagittarius. Mercury and Jupiter ruling these signs form a powerful yoga.

 

Vimsottari dasa from Moon:

1st Marriage: Saturn dasa Moon antardasa

Break of Marriage: Mercury dasa Venus antardasa

Remarriage (2nd): Mercury dasa Moon dasa

I am born in Atri Gotra [Moon] lineage.

 

2. Mercury and Vishnu

Mercury is an asura graha and can only be controlled by Vishnu. It

leads men into the madness of running after money and rules the north

direction (dig chakra) which has Kubera, the God of Wealth as the

dig-pala. Like all other Gods, Kubera also uses an animal to pull his

vehicle and that animal is Human Being...manushya vahana.

 

When the mother is kidnapped and raped and a child is begotten from

the unholy union, what will you call that child? The english I know

used the word *bastard* to define such a birth. If you have a better

word, please help me to improve my english. Mercury or Budha graha was

born when Moon kidnapped Tara, the wife of Brihaspati (Jupiter) and

made her pregnant. This is explicitly mentioned in the Puranas. The

greatness of Guru was that he accepted such a child, gave him

intiation and taught him. By worshipping Vishnu, the negative effect

of the graha that causes running after money and all related demonical

values to come under check and satva increases. Therefore instead of

running after money the native starts to learn under a good Guru. That

is the positive change that Mercury brings about if we have the grace

and blessings of Bhagavan.

 

The worship of Krishna comes form the following combinations -

(1) Mercury in some drekkana (see Prasna Marga/Harihara)

(2) Moon and Jupiter (Parasara)

....all this is too complicated for you for which tattva and guna need

to be understood first.

 

3. Feeling threatened about what?

There is no reason for you to feel threatened. I do not do Pujas for

others unless they are close friends. I do not charge for the Pujas

nor do i do remedial measures for others. I am not a Pujari or such

priest who does this. So why should you feel threatened? Did I ask you

for giving some money for doing these pujas? No, never. Instead I

advised you to do this yourself.

 

Are you feeling threatened about life? Why? It is because you do not

have sufficient faith in Bhagavan. If you do then why worry? He who

has sent you to this planet will also feed you here.

 

3. Feel like crying.

We all feel like crying when we have to face our karmic realities and

have to face the hard teachings of life.

We all feel like crying when we feel that something which we so dearly

want to possess is really not ours and is going away or being lost.

So, you are no exception. The difference is that we all cry inside and

you cry outside. We all drink our sorrows every day and go along with

life while you make the world sorrowful by crying outside.

If you do not have joys to share, you have nothing to share. So, it is

high time you acquired some joys to share. These can be gems of

knowledge or the ecstasy of yoga (with bhagavan) due to any of the

four ayana (goals of life). The difference between a matured person

and immaturity is this sharing - matured people share joys, the

immature share sorrows.

 

4. Curses are nonsense

What is written is based on Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra and time

alone will tell if all that in those great books is nonsense or

perfect sense.

It also depends n the senses of our own self. If our sense is fully

under control then all that makes perfect sense, else it is otherwise.

 

If I have missed any points you want me to cover, please write to me

personally and save the list from turmoil.
