Marriage and Kundli

[Guest guest]

Hi Friends,

I am so much confused with the Kundali and Janmakshar(horoscope) I am

hearing this kind of topic since my childhood. But now its my turn to

go through these things.I am manglik.If there is arrange marriage then

these things matter but not in love marriages,Why? Is it a sin to be a

manglik? Why this practice is only applicable in our Hindu society and

not in others? Are others not effected in this case? Please guide me

on this.

Dear Hiral,

 

Go through this fiery speech by Swamiji:

http://www.ramakrishnavivekananda.info/vivekananda/volume_8/notes_of_class_talks\

_and_lectures/man_the_maker.htm

 

I especially love the following lines:

 

" And to be tricked by twinkling stars! It is a shameful condition. You

are divinities; the twinkling stars owe their existence to you. "

 

and also the ending:

 

" The highest things are under your feet, because you are Divine Stars;

all these things are under your feet. You can swallow the stars by the

handful if you want, such is your real nature. Be strong, get beyond

all superstitions, and be free. "

 

In the scheme of Swamiji's man-making religion, astrology was a weak

superstition to be followed by those who lack confidence on their

divine strength. I think though Swamiji did not believe astrology was

entirely false, he certainly found too much emphasis on it

degenerating. In Yoga Vasishtha too, the emphasis is on " Swadhyaya " -

self effort - above everything else.

 

Hence, manglik or no manglik, let us reflect on our divine strength

while entering Gruhastha Dharmam above everything else :-)

 

Love and regards,

Nikhil
