2-John re... Fountain of Youth

[Guest guest]

Namaste Mark and all, I just read a passage from the

Srimad Bhagavatam that the Ashvin- Kumaras, the divine physicians,

were able to rejuvenate a sage's health and regain his youth. This

was made possible by taking the sage to bathe in the pristine

waters of a lake. In return, the sage offered the physicians a pot

of soma obtained from the sage's yagya performance. The story

appears to be an allegory of how this can be done. However, modern

science has not been able to discover this fountain of youth.

Dear John: Yes, I believe in such

potential of the real purpose of Ayurveda.And like Ayurveda I

believe that Jyotish is really about Enlightenment too.In

terms of Ayurveda, the divine soma that's referred to is both a physical

potion and asymbolism of the Divine.Deep inside every

human being is an ocean of such pure delight...that all diseases,all

ailments, grief and maladies can be cured...This pure healing

potion is the Divine nature of life, itself, Being or the Self.There are also some potions that help in this development of the supreme

consciousness.One of the ancient potions was one called amrit

kalash, or amrita.There are some that are trying to revive

this in this life.Yes, I'd agree, this is symbolic of the

Fountain of Youth.Interesting that there's a new movie coming

out this month called Fountain staring Hugh Jackson and Rachael

Weiss which is all about enlightenment....(I hope..) hehheJyotish too has a supreme role in gaining Enlightenment....Jyotish is Vedic Psychology which has its true purpose to take us out of

Ignorance and into Enlightenment.Mark Kincaidthanks for sharing...
