Guest guest Posted November 18, 2006 Report Share Posted November 18, 2006 Dear Friends: Was inspired to write this article today on the relationship of Jyotish or Eastern Astrology and it's source in the complete Vedic Knowledge. Hope you all are having a wonderful Moon in Libra day! New Moon on Monday, so enjoy these last 2 days of the Waxing Moon cycle! Mark Kincaid Relationship Between Jyotish & Vedic Knowledge The Relationship of Jyotish, or Eastern Astrology and the Vedic System of Knowledge is one of the most important aspects of Astrology. In other words Jyotish has the ability to Understand what we are about. Contained within each one of our charts is a clear, precise description of who we are and what our strengths and weaknesses are. Jyotish calls these our Benefices and Malefics. However, most people don’t realize that this distinction is for us to learn where we need to grow and which Planets we need to improve. For that Self-development Vedic Knowledge represents a complete package of Knowledge and Wisdom. For example if the Sun or Moon is weak or undeveloped in our charts we can look to the technology of Yoga or Vedic Meditation to literally strengthen and unfold the unused, potential of Mind and Consciousness. This of course refers to the very heart of the Moon & Sun in our charts. As we enliven ourselves with yoga and meditation these Vedic practices have a profound and immediate effect on strengthening and literally improving our chart’s Sun and Moon. Or, if we have any health problems, not only can we find exactly where they are in our Vedic Chart’s but we can then look to Ayurveda to help us enliven the immune system and create better health. As we do this through the practices and procedures of Ayurveda, immediately the Planets of ill-health in our charts become stronger and begin creating health instead! For each and every problem in life, Jyotish can find the Astrological reason. Then, we can look to the complete system of Vedic Knowledge and Wisdom to literally solve that and any problem. Ved Solution To all Problems In life. This is why the Ved is the solution to all problems in life. It contains the Knowledge and Wisdom of being able to identify the source of all problems. Then it can prescribe the literal solution to bring that Planet or combination of Planets into balance. The true purpose of Astrology is the development and full unfoldment of our consciousness. It’s been said that “man” uses only a very small portion of his potential. The estimate is something like 5-10/%. Brain researchers even describe how only 20% of the brain chemistry is lively. So what is the remaining 80% for?, they ask. In Vedic Knowledge the vision of the full potential of human nature is emmense. The mind of all human beings is literally infinite. Through the avenue of human awareness, the mind of the individual can be connected to it’s infinite source. Deep inside each one of us is our own unlimited potential which is the true destiny of us all. Jyotish has the ability today to help us see where we’ve started from at our births. However, present day Jyotish has forgotten its true purpose is to unfold the unused, latent potential. Instead Jyotish has become a system of fatalistic prediction and frustration. Many people that I’ve talked to over the years don’t even like looking at their Astrology because they don’t want to know where their fate is limited and set. Today, however, we’re beginning an age when the full potential of Vedic Knowledge is now becoming available. For the first time in hundreds of years it’s now being realized that the true purpose of Vedic Wisdom is the complete unfoldment of our human potential. All aspects of Vedic Knowledge from Yoga, Meditation, Yaguas, Ayurveda and even Jyotish are now being practiced with this unfoldment in mind. This is having a profound influence on the field of Astrology as well. Instead of future negative periods being the pre-cursors to doom and gloom, instead negative or malefic periods are beginning to be seen as “dangers on the horizon”. Then, Vedic remedies and remedial measures can be prescribed so literally one can “change” one’s future! Instead of fate being the nature of life; life is beginning to be understood as the path of growth and development to a literally unlimited future! Over the next few weeks we’ll reflect on all the healing ways in which the different aspects of Vedic Knowledge can literally change and transform our charts. Our charts are not our unchangeable fate but the opportunities for growth and progress which is the true purpose of our births! Jyotish Astrology Is Really Vedic Psychology We’ll also examine the Psychology of Jyotish to help us understand ourselves better and to learn the true lessons of our births. The true purpose of Psychology is to help any person develop their full, unused latent potential. Jyotish or Astrology is the Knowledge of the exact, precise paths that each one of us are on. We each are living a unique and specific, different path. Learning exactly what our path is and how we can learn to better progress along our path is the true purpose of Astrology. In the next few weeks we’ll learn about how the specific needs and situations in our charts lend themselves very precisely to the various properties and benefits of the different disciplines of Vedic Knowledge. Meditation Is the #1 Jyotish Remedy In the next couple of weeks we’ll focus on the #1 Vedic self-improvement strategy of Meditation or the Development of Consciousness. It is the #1 remedy for improving any and all Planetary imbalances and Malefics in our charts. After that we can focus on how to utilize any of the other Vedic Disciplines for any and all Malefic problems in our charts. The Vision Of the Fully Evolved Human Being What inspires us to grow in life are the stories of the fully evolved, fully developed human beings. In both the West and East we have some good examples of Enlightened individuals who are the “signs” of that fully developed Full Potential. First we’ll reflect on them and how their lives and accomplishments serve as clear reminders that every human being has an unlimited human potential that’s the true purpose of our lives. Then, we’ll focus on how our own individual Charts are the clear path through which we’re meant to walk in our own unfoldment of our full potential. The Nature of Individual Life Is Cosmic I hope you’re all enjoying this new Sun in Scorpio period! It’s an ideal time to do some Scorpio research on Jyotish! Sincerely, Mark Kincaid Write in with your questions and experiences. For any Malefic situation we can find the appropriate Vedic solution to strengthen that Planet!
