Dharma

[Guest guest]

Dear Group,

 

As the group enjoys some quiet time (which affords me, also, some

much-needed quietude), I found myself reflecting on the true meaning of

dharma, the underlying order in nature (natural law) and human life and

behaviour considered to be in accord with that order. Ethically, it means

'right way of living' or 'proper conduct,' especially in a religious sense.

With respect to spirituality, dharma might be considered the Way of the

Higher Truths.

 

Dharma is a central concept in traditional Vedic astrology which emphasizes

the correct understanding of Natural Law. According to the Vedas, beings

that live in accordance with Dharma proceed more quickly toward Dharma

Yukam, Moksha or Nirvana (personal liberation). Dharma also refers to the

teachings and doctrines of the founders of these traditions; such as the

revered rishis...Maharishi Parashara, Jaimini, Mantreswar, Kalidasa and so

forth...bonafide Gurus! Upholding the path of dharma does not necessitate

adherence to the teachings of the many self-proclaimed jyotish gurus

prolific in this age of KaliYuga.

 

As sincere students of this divine science, it's important we understand the

significators of dharma. 9th house of course and it's lord, along with

karaka for 9th, are the first consideration... And, naturally, yogas

involving these significators will manifest, for better or worse, in a

significant way. However, it's important to understand the conditions that

support such yogas before coming to a conclusion, and, most certainly,

before mounting an attack on a teacher based on a misconception.

 

I have recently received several derogative mails from an individual (now

removed from the group)...produced in part below.

 

//What you have proven, however, is that you fit perfectly the assessment I

had made of you character (does typing in caps imply shouting? ) and you

reaction was again so predictable in resorting to 'exiling' a person who

dared to challenge your viewpoint. This the Guru-Chandala Yoga

demonstrating its full force. Maybe you grasp of basic Jyotish really is not

as firm as you think.

 

If only you could pre-moderate mails to your inbox? Now that would be a

wonderful tool for the power crazy!///

 

Several such mails were received from this individual which (almost)

resulted in pressing the group delete button. However, I've come to the

conclusion that darkness and light are two sides of the same coin, as is

dharma and adharma, and, under certain conditions adharma (disguised as

righteousness) will raise its head.

 

In putting my horoscope in the databank (for study) I assumed sincere

students would have sufficient knowledge to interpret the horoscope

correctly. My intention (basically) was to satisfy members of my own dharma

(as a teacher)...obviously I was wrong and quite naive in this regard. I

really don't want to resort to, or get unduly caught up in the 'I am this'

mentality. But I do hope that sincere students, with some ability to 'see'

will recognise the strong dharma associated with teaching this divine

knowledge, and importantly, the utmost respect that has always been shown

for the knowledge itself as well as the founding fathers of this divine

science...the true Gurus!

 

....strong protector of dharma! Most certainly I give this credit to Rahu

who, conjunct exalted Jupiter, occupies nakshatra of exalted 9th lord.

 

Best Wishes,

Mrs. Wendy
