Guest guest Posted September 8, 1999 Report Share Posted September 8, 1999 JAYA JAGANNATH Dear Hans, there is no doubt that Sri Yukteswara Maharaj was a Great initiate. I have applied the castor Oil formula to a Cancer patient and he still survives after 6 months of the declared period of his death by the doctors! The Mahamrutunjaya was his forte. But, this is another issue altogether. Normally such great people are found to be blind followers of their Guru's and I feel that this was Swami Yukteswaraji's belief more than his rational argument. I respect him just for this. How many of us can have such faith in our Guru's. See the case of Gorakhnath and Matsyendranath. The kind of faith they had on their Guru's was sure to give them perfection in their disciplene..and in this case it was YOGA and not Jyotisha. We must understand this. I see no point in flogging this horse any more. Lets call it a day. MY QUESTION: Raghu's daughter...... How many of you saw the picture of Raghu's (Das Goravani) daughter? I think she is beautiful. Although she looked the shy types, the chart showed differently. The says that she is very gutsy and can charge hell with a bucket of water..Raghu types. I think she will live far away from the birth place in a foreign country and will have good luck from there. Honestly, I did not like Rahu in the 8th from Arudha lagna and she is running that bad period right now. Rahu is also in the 2nd from Siddhamsa (D-24) lagna causing Papargala on the 4th house and in the sixth from the 9th house exalted Mercury that promises excellent higher education pertaining to commercial fields. All this starts only from 2001 AD after the advent of Saturn antardasa. Till then, the spiritual side manifests. Ithink the time needs a slight touch as the Vimsamsa (D-20) Lagna should be Scorpio.
