#1 Vedic &

Jyotish

Remedy:

Meditation

 

 

 

Dear Friends &

Subscribers:

 

           

You may have heard of mantras that are recommended for a variety of

problems in one & rsquo;s chart.  There are

Saturn mantras.  There are Ganesh mantras to

get rid of obstacles.  There are many.  However, of all the Jyotish mantras the

most

powerful is the & lsquo;transcendental & rsquo; mantras.

           

In other words we can also meditate to expand the complete

container of the mind.  Meditation is the #1

Vedic and Jyotish remedy because meditation unfolds the latent human

potential within every individual.  When you go

to an Astrologer and they say to you that you & rsquo;re destined to have so

and so happen to you that is the prognosis based on your original birth

chart.

           

In that beginningthe futurethat is there ahead of you, is based on

that specific & lsquo;Level of Consciousness & rsquo; that is indicated by

our charts.  So, for most people they & rsquo;re

living out the predictable destiny of that initial birth beginning.  This is why

so much of present day Jyotish is

filled with fatalistic predictions which end up filling the heart of the

Jyotishee with pessimism and negativity. 

 

           

Ever wonder why so many Jyotish books or Jyotishees are so

un-hopeful?  It & rsquo;s because they & rsquo;re

seeing through the lens of fate.  But

pre-conditionings, pre-determinism even fate is just one aspect of

life.  This, in fact is the Saturn side to

life.

           

We plant an apple seed and it & rsquo;s destined we & rsquo;re going to

get an apple tree!  We don & rsquo;t suddenly get

a guava tree!  But, if we decide or choose to

change the seed that we are planting, say create a new hybrid, guava-apple

seed then it is destined that we will have a new guava-apple

tree!

           

The key to change and progress in life is the ability to change our

seeds.  Our human seeds are our thoughts.  How we think determines our success. 

How we

feel and how successful we are in activity depends upon our thoughts.  If our

minds are tired, unclear or lacking in deep

potential power or presence of mind then the seeds of our thoughts will

sprout only week, tired and unsuccessful trees.

           

Remember the story of Christ.  He could

turn a few pieces of loaves and fish into a multitude to feed the

people.  He could walk on water.  He could raise people from the dead!  Talk

about being able to change someone & rsquo;s

destiny!  He could heal the sick!  One young girl who met Christ but

didn & rsquo;t get

healed was asked: & ldquo;How come he didn & rsquo;t heal you? & rdquo; 

& ldquo;Christ told us that he was not meant to heal

all.  But, that He was an example of

God & rsquo;s power for us all to draw upon to heal ourselves! & rdquo; she

said.

 

           

I love this story because it gives us the vision of the ultimate

truth and potential in life.  We are children

of God.  The almighty Divine intelligence flows through our

veins.  We have the potential to awaken to this

Oneness.  Each step that we move into that

complete Christ like status we can awaken to our own consciousness field

of all possibilities and do anything!

           

If we are using one finger how much of Mozart do you think we could

play?  If we come to use 5 fingers how much

better do we play?  Once we awaken to using our

full 10 fingers then the full potential of Mozart can flow through our

fingers.  It & rsquo;s often thought today that

& lsquo;man & rsquo; is using a very small percentage of his potential.  Maybe as

little as 5 to 10%!  Even modern day

briain researchers say only 20% of the brain seems to be active.

 

 

           

Certainly from Christ & rsquo;s example if his life was an example

for all of us to emulate then yes, we are really using a very small

percentage.  No wonder that Jyotish is full of

so many pessimistic predictions and fatalistic ideas. 

However, too has had its Christ's.  In

fact there are many, many more stories of Enlightened beings hallowed in

India History that show us the power of human beings potential.

           

The biggest problem with Christianity or the West is we only had

this one story.  Someone who wants to be like

Christ, to rise up to his level or dignity is called a blasphemer.  Christ

didn & rsquo;t come to show us that only one

man could become one with God.  He came as an

example for all people!

           

I have been greatly inspired by Christ & rsquo;s story.  However, I was even more

inspired by the Vedic

stories of enlightened people.  If you want to

read about modern day illuminated seers pick up Yogananda & rsquo;s famous

book: & ldquo;Autobiography of a Yogi & rdquo;. 

He has stories of dozens of modern day saints who are all great

examples of the infinite potential of human life!

           

Keep this in mind when you reflect upon your chart.  Is it

just a map of your fate or is also a picture of your potential?  Because

contained within everyone & rsquo;s path is the

potential of the infinite.  When you reflect on

the infinite, understand that it is not only infinite, but it is also in

the finite.  That & rsquo;s what it means! 

           

Being in-the-finite means it can be accessed by the finite at any

moment and any time!  Therefore make this be

your #1 goal and aspiration to unfold each day more and more of your

infinite potential.  As you even unfold 7, 8,

10 and 15 percent your life will be infinitely improved!

           

Why?  Because, the potential for change

lies in our ability to contact that level of life which does not

change.  Think of God. 

He or She exists in that infinity and functioning from there

creates the whole universe.  Modern day

physicists talk about the big bang as the ultimate source of the

universe.  God or whomever created the universe

and then disappeared like a spoiled child who doesn & rsquo;t care.  Modern day

Psychology is a reflection of that

ultimate despair due to being alone in this vast universe.

           

No wonder so many people are attracted to the stories of Christ and

Ganesh or enlightened Masters from .  However,

don & rsquo;t think that enlightenment is just revered for those very

few.  Each of those beings who rose up to their

full potential did that through hard work and good luck or

both.

           

The Key to Life lies in the ability first to prepare for it.  It & rsquo;s said

that & ldquo;rest is the basis of

activity & rdquo; which is an expression that confirms that how well we rest

or prepare the night before determines our success the following day.  There are

other expressions like & ldquo;giving is

the basis of receiving & rdquo; that hints to us that we & rsquo;re receiving

based on how well we & rsquo;ve given.

           

Our charts too are clear depictions as to why our lives are

karmicly the way they are!  But, if we & rsquo;re

not getting on to that ever increasing fuller and fuller Divinity or Full

human potential then we & rsquo;re not truly living the life that we were

born to live.  Each person has a particular

slant of life that our charts are all about. 

However, within everyone & rsquo;s chart is the potential for

unfolding that huge, unbounded, infinite intelligence which is Our

Birthright.  If we want to do and create we first have to have. 

And to have we first need to find and then unfold that more and more.

 

           

Today, we are extremely fortunate because the complete knowledge

and wisdom of this transcending potential of meditation has now been fully

enlivened.  Stories have been there in , for

example about this human possibility.  But,

modern day is certainly not an example of this possibility.  Ever wonder why?

           

Because, the art and science of this #1 Vedic technique of

transcendental type of meditation has been lost. 

Meditation is well known about in but generally it & rsquo;s thought

to be very difficult and as a result most people don & rsquo;t go for

it.  But, about 50 years ago, the art of

meditation was revised in .  It began to be

taught in its purity, and in its complete effortless naturalness. As a

result today, millions of people have begun getting on to the tremendous

potential that meditation describes.

           

In the last 35 years over 600 scientific studies have been done on

the reality and benefits of meditation.  This

represents more scientific validation then has been done even for the

entire field of Psychology!  Therefore we can

say with complete confidence that the full potential of meditation is now

available today!

           

Now, let & rsquo;s go into how meditation works and how it has the

potential for awakening and unfolding our latent, unused potential.  As a result

of this Vedic technique we & rsquo;ll

also talk about how our planets literally will get enlivened and unfold

towards their full potential as well.

           

For example, Jyotish historically talks about the importance of the

Moon.  The Moon is the mind.  It represents the important focus of our entire

lives.  Unfortunately, common day Jyotish says

if our Moon & rsquo;s are Waning or small or afflicted in some ways then the

prognosis for us is dire or unsuccessful.

           

And though this may be true from the surface level it doesn't even

begin to fathom the unlimited potential of our Moon's or birth

chart.  If we learn how to unfold the full nature and power of our

Moon's and planets in our birth chart then life & rsquo;s infinite

possibilities will become true for us!

           

I & rsquo;ll give you some personal example from my own life.  Traditional Indian

Astrologers who have looked at

my chart have said:  & ldquo;I & rsquo;m sorry,

you & rsquo;ll never have this & hellip;and you & rsquo;ll never have

that. & rdquo;  From that very moment I realized

how far modern day Jyotish has to go to get back in tune with the real

message of the Vedic wisdom.

           

In my original birth chart my prognosis for life and success was

very grim.  I had that all-important Moon in my

12th House of loss.  In addition

that same Moon was only 1 House away from my Sun in the 11th

House.  Therefore, mine was a very tiny Moon and that same Moon was

with a very negative functioning Saturn which was also in the

12th House.

           

No wonder so many people found depression and loss looking at my

chart!  Fortunately, I came to Jyotish after

many years of practice with Vedic meditation, yoga and Ayurveda.  As a result

I & rsquo;d already improved tremendously

from before I learned to meditate.  And, even

though my chart fit the way I was a child and growing up it didn & rsquo;t

fit me any more after I & rsquo;d been meditating for a number of

years.

           

For example when I was younger I was that shy, emotionally

dysfunctional, even a depressive child who had their poor Moon with Saturn

in their 12th House.  I was lonely,

very fragile on an emotional level and at & lsquo;lost & rsquo; to all the

qualities of my Moon including career.  This

was of course due to my Moon in the 12th which was also ruler

of my 10th House of career.

           

Then, when I got to college I stumbled upon meditation and my life

started to fundamentally change.  With each day

of meditating, immediately I began feeling better and better.  No longer did I

feel so lost, lonely and

unhappy.  With each step towards more inner

bliss and unfoldment of consciousness, with each day of meditating; more

and more of the full potential of my Moon began to unfold.

           

So, how does meditation work?  How does

it have the potential to change and improve us and our charts?  It does this by

taking our Moon-minds to the very

heart of consciousness.  Deep inside every

human being is that literal field of infinite and unbounded

awareness.  When we learn to turn the Moon-mind

inwards and fathom deeper and deeper levels of the mind; we will

experience directly the full potential of this pure intelligence. 

The subjective experience of this literally unfolds more and more of the

latent potential of the mind.

           

I & rsquo;ll give you an example.  In

meditation the subjective experience is one of the mind settling down and

becoming quieter and more peaceful.  During

meditation the mind moves inwards.  Outside of

meditation the mind is used to focusing on this or that.  But, the mind has the

potential to travel inwards

and move towards its source.

           

In meditation the mind experiences quieter and quieter, more calm

and more settled stares of awareness.  The mind

then experiences less and less thought.  In

this state of quieter mind the body experiences deep, deep silence.  The mind is

awake, it & rsquo;s not asleep but the

body is deeply restful while the mind is more silent within.

           

This is such a unique experience that brain researchers are calling

this a major, new, 4th state of consciousness.  Actually, historically

it & rsquo;s been known that

there was this 4th state of consciousness. 

In Vedic literature it is referred to as the state of no-thought,

pure consciousness where only consciousness alone remains.  Other descriptions

call it Samadhi, Satori or

Ananda which means bliss!

           

Modern day researchers now are beginning to find the physiological

correlates of this very personal, human experience. 

The immediate result of this experience then, comes

immediately.  The benefits of meditating are spontaneous and

automatic thought they come differently to each person.  Because of each

person & rsquo;s different Chart the

psychological and physiological unfoldment of all the benefits is

unique. 

           

One person who has a very poor self-confidence suddenly starts to

grow in terms of their self-confidence.  People

like me with difficult Moon & rsquo;s suddenly start to feel more happy

within.  Those with difficulties with their

Budha or Mercury intellects suddenly start thinking more

clearly.

           

Those with difficult Venus & rsquo; suddenly start feeling more

love.  Those with more difficult Mars & rsquo;

suddenly start being more calm and collected and as a result they & rsquo;re

negative with their Mars.

 

           

Those with difficulties with their Saturn & rsquo;s suddenly

experience more balance and as a result begin to feel more health and

happiness.  Finally, those with difficulties

with their Rahu/Ketu suddenly become less addictive or obsessive which of

course are some of Rahu & rsquo;s more negative characteristics.

           

So, how is it that one simple technique can have these results on

all levels of the heart and mind?  Because

meditation represents the technique of going to the deepest, most holistic

level of life and influencing spontaneously all the other more surface

areas of life at the same time.

 

           

Meditation is like getting a good night sleep. 

If we some day get a good night's sleep we don & rsquo;t just

experience the results on one side of the body. 

We don & rsquo;t just feel better emotionally, or on the level of our

intellect's thinking & rsquo;s.  No!  We experience that degree of rest on every

level of

the heart and mind.  This is because sleep

stirs the entire physiology, mind and body and every aspect of life is

nourished by the one transcendental technique of deep rest.

           

In this same way meditation nourishes the entire person.  Because all the

planets just represent all the

different aspects of human nature if a holistic solution can be found then

the results will be improvement on every level of life.  It & rsquo;s been said

that meditation is like

& ldquo;watering the root & rdquo;.  We have a

tree and it needs water.  Every part of that

tree needs nourishment and water.  Is there one

thing that can bring nourishment to every aspect of that tree?

           

Yes, of course.  We only have to water

the root of that tree and spontaneously the tree brings to each area the

benefit of that water.  Meditation is like

watering the root of our human tree.  By going

to that level of pure consciousness we spontaneously bring nourishment to

every area of human life.

           

Like a great night sleep, meditation brings an even more profound

level of mental peace to life and as a result every aspect of life

improves. 

           

Therefore, in addition to studying your chart and in addition to

learning the important lessons of each of the malefics in your chart; in

addition, do that one thing that can bring nourishment to every aspect of

life.

           

Meditation is the best and #1 Vedic remedy for solving all problems

in life.  After meditation secondary,

complimentary solutions like Ayurveda, yoga, even Jyotish can be done as

well.

           

Meditation and Jyotish actually make a great team.  Together they can help us

evolve into the person

that we were meant to be.   Meditation

provides the raw juice or unfolding power of the mind.  Jyotish then provides

the selective Psychology or

Wisdom on how to use that unfolding intelligence and deal with all the

particulars of our individual Astrological chart.

 

           

The best, most widely validated scientifically and available

meditation today is the practice of Transcendental Meditation as taught by

His Holiness Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.  Today,

there are over 40,000 teachers who have been trained to teach TM

(meditation).   You can go to any big city

throughout the World and get the same, authentic and profound teaching of

meditation.

           

My wish for everyone is that you avail yourself of the wonderful

benefits of meditation.  And, if you & rsquo;re

also an Astrological enthusiast then use your Jyotish with mediation to

answer the call of whatever particulars in your chart are

required.

           

If you have any questions about meditation and its special

relationship with Jyotish feel free to write me back.
