[Guest guest]

Radhe Krishna To All,Good morning to all of u and have a divine blessed day ahead….."Contentment, faith in God, Surrendering oneself to God, Sadhana, detachment from worldly affairs and holiness are the most important aspects of spiritual life"----- SANT BRAHMA CHAITANYA------------------- 1. I do not believe in astrology but I firmly believe in God. My wife consulted an astrologer and he predicts my current situation! I perform Nama Kirtan and prayers but nothing happens my way! What do I do? Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:Astrology is indeed a science. It is also accepted as the eyes of

the Vedas. However, in the modern day, it is hard to find a good astrologer. Not only that, it is also important that the remedies that are suggested should be conformant with the Vedas and should be performed strictly as prescribed therein. This is not completely possible in the modern age. Faith in the Guru's words, in prayer and in the Maha Mantra can surpass anything. Bhagavan Yogiramsuratkumar says, 'If there is faith, then there is no fate.' When there is sincere faith in Maha Mantra Kirtan, one can easily play football with the nine planets! ---------------------2. I was born in 'Garga' gothram and 'Hastham' star. What is the significance of my gothram and star. Sri Sri Muralidhara Swamiji:The word 'Gothra' literally means, 'to take care of the cows'. In days yonder, the foremost duty of a disciple was to take care

of the cows of the Maharshi who was his guru. So if you say you are born in a 'gothra', then it means that you belong to the lineage of that Maharshi. The genes of that Maharshi are still present in you, till date. This is confirmed by modern-day science, which corroborates the theory of genetic inheritance. Gargacharya was one such Maharshi, whom we find quoted in Puranas like Srimad Bhagavatam. He was the purohit for the Yadhu Vamsa, in which Sri Krishna was born. It was he who named Balarama and Krishna . The 27 constellations in our astronomy represent the 27 organs of the cosmic 'Purusha'. Your star 'hastham' (translates in Sanskrit as 'hand') literally represents the hand of this Purusha. This is the 13th of the 27 stars. The sign is ruled by the planet Mercury and governed by the Moon. Those belonging to this star are well versed in Vedas, or merchandisers and are energetic and industrious. They are

also merciless, impudent, thievish and fond of drinking. They could be charioteers, elephant riders, artisans or robbers. They mainly belong to professions relating to commerce, salesmanship, overseas business – export and import, communication and mails, shipping and clearing, sanitation, textile and yarn, bridges dam sites, canal and tunnel construction engineering, press, ink and printing ink manufacturing etc. They could also be advocates, artists, painters, politicians or mercenaries like ambassadors or messengers. Those born in this star are susceptible to self-pity, negative thoughts and imaginations, fear / phobias, hysteria and the like.
