Indigestion - What has Vedic astrology


to do with it?
A fairly large part of human race suffers from indigestion. It is partly due
to wrong eating habits and partly because of a sedentary lifestyle. There
is however a third component which is fundamental to it, and allows
wrong eating habits and inactive life to act faster in bringing about
indigestion. 

That third component is the astrological cause. 

What is indigestion?
Once we push the food down through our esophagus, it reaches the
stomach, which performs three tasks. Firstly it is a storage space for what
we ate, and secondly it mixes up the food we ate with digestive juices and
hydrochloric acid produced by the stomach. 

The lower part of the stomach combines the ingested food with this
digestive cocktail by its muscle action. This primes the food to be broken
down into smaller molecules which can be absorbed by the small intestine
and used as nourishment. The third task of the stomach is to empty its
contents slowly into the small intestine.

The small intestine contains a layer of muscle that enables the wall to
move in a an ocean wave like movement. The wall contracts at one point
and pushes the food forward. It then contracts again a little further on
and repeats the process. This is called peristalsis. This movement of
organ walls propels food and liquid through the system and also mixes it
up with digestive enzymes from glands that empty directly into the
intestine. 

Two solid organs the liver and the pancreas also produce digestive juices
that help in the absorption of the food. Liver produces a substance called
bile which it stores in the gall bladder and pumps it into the intestines
when needed. Bile acts somewhat like detergent and dissolves the fat in
the food in to a liquid. This liquid is then digested by the pancreatic juices
and enzymes in the small intestine. 

Food travels through the small intestine and all its nutrients are gradually
absorbed by our body. The waste matter then empties into the large
intestine from where it is ejected periodically as fecal matter. 

When the activities connected to the stomach, the small and large
intestine are interrupted, or when the liver and pancreas work at less
than full capacity, indigestion results. 

Body parts and their astrological representatives.


In a horoscope, the first house rules over the body of the individual. The
strength of the Ascendant lord determines the strength of the human
body. An Ascendant lord who is strong in Shad and Vimshopak Bal, and
has a high Isht Phal (desirable results) gives a strong and well formed
body with all limbs and organs working at optimal level. The converse is
also true. A weakness in Ascendant lord causes a disease in the body part
indicated by the rising sign and the planet owning that sign.

Time Measurement In Ancient India


Part II
In the previous Blog we looked at the smallest measurement of time that
ancient Hindus had. This is one extreme of measurement. The other
extreme is towards bigger chunks of time. 

In an earlier Blog about the Yuga system we saw how Sun takes 24000
years to go around Vishnu Nabhi or the seat of universal intelligence. The
point when it is nearest to the Vishnu Nabhi coincides with the middle of
two adjacent Satya Yuga and the point where it is farthest from it falls
between two successive Kali Yuga. Sun takes 12000 years to move from
one extremity to the other and another 12000 years to move back again.
Each of these period is called Daiva Yuga. 

The long count Hindu calendar mentions Daiva years. Each of these years
has 12 Daiva months and one Daiva month comprises of 30 Daiva days.
Each Daiva day is equal to one ordinary solar year on earth. 

One Daiva year therefore equals 12X30=360 Daiva days = 360 earth
years.

1000 cycles of 4 Yugas = 1 day of Brahma


50 years of Brahma = 1 Parard-dham
100 years of Brahma = 1 Param

The age of the earth according to Hindu calendar is 4.32 billion years.

Time Measurement In Ancient India.


Time measurement is an extremely important component of astronomy and astrology.
Without the knowledge of accurate date and time it is not possible to make an accurate
horoscope. The ancient treatises on astrology and astronomy give detailed information
to calculate both. 

In Vedic Astrology the measurement of time is as given below.


60 Tatpara=1 Para
60 Para=1 Valipta
60 Valipta = 1 Lipta or Vipal
60 Lipta =1 Vighati or Pala                   
60 Vighati=1 Ghati = 24 minutes              
60 Ghatis=1 Day = 24 hours.

One can see that in the Hindu system a day is divided into 46656000000 Para while in
the western system, a day comprises of  86400 seconds. 

Hindu calendar is based on the movement of Moon. A lunar month has 30 lunar days
and is measured from new Moon to the next new Moon. Each Lunar day is called a Tithi.
There are 15 Tithis in the dark and 15 in the bright half of the month. 

The lunar month is constantly adjusted against creeping errors. If in a given lunar month,
Sun does not change Rashi (sign), then that month is considered as an extra month.
This extra month is Called Mal Maas. If however Sun traverses two Rashi (signs)
between the above-mentioned period then there is a decay of one month in that year.
This decayed month is called Kshay Maas. 

The lunar year of twelve lunar months has only 354 days, 22 Ghati, 1 Pal and 23 Vipal.
The solar month is defined as the time taken by Sun to move in one Rashi (sign). The
solar months comprises of 365 days, 15 Ghati, 31 Pal and 30 Vipal. There is thus a
difference of 10 days, 53 Ghati, 30 Pal and 7 Vipal between the two.

The names of the Indian months are Chaitra, Baisakh, Jyeshta, Ashadh, Shravan,
Bhadrapad, Ashwin, Kartik, Margshirsh, Paush, Magh and Phalgun. As one can see
there is a relationship between the names of the Nakshatra and the names of the
months. 

All festivals and other important events can only take place on specific lunar dates. This
is the reason why all major festivals keep changing dates each year. 
The dates change due to the lunar year being shorter than the solar year by about
eleven days. 

To be continued. . . .

Hindu Vedic Astrology - How to find out


if a lost article will be found or not
We often lose articles due to various reasons. It can happen due to our
forgetfulness, like leaving our travel documents at the travel desk in an
airport or It can happen due to someone else’s carelessness, like the time
when we catch a flight for London, and our baggage travels to Paris. It
can also happen due to theft when some one simply walks away with
what belongs to us. 

The uppermost question in our mind at that time is what will happen? Will
my belongings be restored to me??

Hindu or Vedic Horary astrology has a wonderful way of ascertaining just


this. A horoscope is made for the time when the question is asked from
the astrologer. The chart thus cast will have the Moon occupying one of
the 27 Nakshatra. This gives us a definite clue to the fate of the lost item.

Nakshatra are grouped into four categories. These are Andh-aksh,


Sulochan, Madhya-aksh and Mand-aksh. The Sanskrit meanings of these
name give a clue to their results.

Andh-aksh Nakshatra
Andh in Sanskrit language means blind, and Aksh translates as eyes, the
name of this category thus implies that the lost item is like a blind person
who can not wander far. It is therefore recovered quickly. The movement
of the lost item is in the easterly direction, or it will be found in the east.
Rohini, Pushya, Uttar-Phalguni, Vishakha, Poorv-Ashadh, Dhanishtha and
Revati Nakshatra fall in this first category. 

Sulochan Nakshatra
Sulochan means good eyesight, and as the name suggest, the item lost
under Sulochan group of Nakshatra travels far and is not recovered. It
travels to the north and is neither heard of, nor recovered. 
Nakshatra falling in this group are Krittika, Punarvasu, Poorva-Phalguni,
Swati, Mool, Shravan and Uttar-Bhadrapad. 

Madhya-aksh Nakshatra
Madhya translates as middle quality eyesight. The article lost when Moon
is in one of the Nakshatra falling in this group is traced but not recovered.
For example the police may arrest the person who stole your wallet but
nothing can be recovered as the money has been spent and the credit
cards maxed. The recovery takes place in the western direction.
Bharani, Ardra, Magha, Chitra, Jyeshtha, Abhijit, and Poorva Bhadrapad
Nakshatra fall in this category. 

Mand-aksh Nakshatra 
Mand means poor eyesight, and so the article lost travels some distance
towards the southern direction. It is found through painstaking work and
is eventually recovered. 
Ashwini, Mrigshira, Ashlesha, Hasta, Anuradha, Uttar-Ashadh, and
Shatbhija fall in this last category. 

Hindu Horary Astrology has a lot many more tools but the, method given
above is a ready reckoner and gives accurate results.

The Role Of Navamsha Chart In


Predictive Astrology Part II
Continuation of the previous Blog. . . . .

Navansh chart gives a great deal of information about a planet and its tendency to act.

 In the chart given above, let us take a look at the professional prospects of the
individual. The tenth house is occupied by Aries and its lord Mars is placed in the
eleventh house along with eleventh lord Venus and second lord Sun. Mars is a Yoga
Karak for cancer Ascendant. This constitutes a powerful yoga for professional and
financial success. The conjunction of second, eleventh and tenth lords in the eleventh
house indicates promise for great wealth.

Let us now take a look at these planets in the Navansh chart also. Here tenth lord Mars
is placed in exaltation in the fourth house. The exaltation confirms that Mars will give
strongly beneficial results. Mars is placed with fourth and eleventh lord Venus thus
suggesting that real estate will be a contributing factor. 

Venus is placed in the Navansh chart in debilitation in the twelfth house along with Rahu.
This suggests that the financial gains indicated in the birth chart are emasculated, and
will leak away due to various reasons. 

Sun who is the lord of the second house of wealth is placed in eighth in an enemy
house. Note also that sun happens to own the 11th house in the Navansh chart.
Lagna Lord Moon who is placed in the ninth house in an enemy sign is placed in the
Navansh chart in debilitation. This shows a changeable nature and lack of application in
the person. 

What appeared as a brilliant chart loses luster due to the adverse placement of planets
in Navansh chart. Fortunately Mars, Venus and Sun are still placed 5-9 to each other
and this works in favor of the individual. 

The results shown by the birth chart will still materialize but with a reduced intensity. 

To be continued. . . . . .

The Role of Navamsha Chart In


Predictive Astrology
The concept of divisional charts is unique to Hindu or Vedic astrology. It uses different
divisional charts to look at different facets of human existence. For example we use Hora
chart to judge potential wealth or poverty and Saptamansha chart to examine affairs
related to children. Navansha chart is used to examine the planetary placement in more
detail. It is also used to evaluate the spouse in a male female relationship.

What is a divisional chart?


A planet does not give identical results in the beginning, the end or intermediate
positions in a sign. A planet at 1° and at 29° of a sign will behave differently. To find out
this difference a divisional chart may divide a sign into any number of parts and pin point
its placement in a single part. The number of divisions done to a sign give a name to the
chart. If we divide a sign into four parts the resultant chart is called Chatur-ansha Chart.
{Chatur= four and Ansha= part, hence Chauransha}. Similarly a chart with seven
divisions to each sign is called Saptamansha chart. Saptam=seven, Ansha=part. A
Navamsha chart will have nine divisions and so on… South Indian pronunciation of Ansh
is Amsa.

Maharishi Parashar has laid down the use of different charts for different purposes. For
ascertaining the general trend of destiny we use Chauransha, for children related
questions Saptamansha is used. For questions related to spouse, Navansha chart gives
great results. 

Why and how did Maharishi Parashar lay down the number of divisions for each purpose
is not known. It is certain to be divinely guided. 
Navamsha Chart
In a Navansha chart, starting from Aries each sign is divided into nine parts, and each
part is given the name of a sign. Since a sign spans 30°, each part will measure an arch
of three degrees and twenty minutes. (30°/9=3°20’). The first division or Navansha is of
Aries, the second of Taurus, the third of Gemini and so on. When we reach Sagittarius,
we have run out of divisions and still have Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces left. These
will spill over into the nine divisions of next sign Taurus. The first Navansha of Taurus
will be Capricorn, the second, Aquarius and the third Pisces. 

Aries divided into nine parts of 3°20’ Taurus divided into nine parts of 3°20’

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9

Ari Tau Gem Can Leo Vir Lib Sco Sag Cap Aqu Pis Ari Tau Gem Can Leo Vir

The fourth Navansha will be of Aries again and this will continue for each sign until
we reach Last Navansha of Pisces. 

To be continued. . . . . .

Likely fluctuation in gold prices in


December 2009.
Gold is the only everlasting standard of wealth. When stocks, bonds and their derivatives
turn to dust due to war, famine or natural disasters, only gold remains. An earthquake
can turn prime real estate to rubble in less than thirty seconds, and a multimillion dollar
structure can become value less in no time at all. The only commodity that emerged with
its value intact from the tragedy of The World Trade Center, was Gold.
When the dust settles – literally and figuratively - only one metal retains it values and
that is gold. It is a highly prized metal in the east and especially so in India and China.
The amount of gold hoarded away in these countries is unbelievable.

Gold is represented by Jupiter. The transit of Jupiter through 27 Nakshatra and his union
with other planets has a direct bearing on gold prices. During its journey around the
zodiac, Jupiter passes through the territory of friendly, neutral and hostile planets. It also
forms various yoga with other planets in transit. These yoga or combinations either
increase or decrease the radiated energy from the planet. This radiated energy has
direct bearing on commodities connected to Jupiter. Let us take a look at what is in store
in the coming months December.

Mercury enters Sagittarius on December 01 and joins Rahu who is already present
there. Gold prices will therefore move north.

This is accentuated by the movement of Sun into Jyeshtha Nakshatra on December 02.
This will keep the gold prices high. This trend continues until the December 10 when
Venus enters Jyeshtha, and Mercury moves to Poorvashadh Nakshatra. This combined
movement will drive the prices of Gold down.

The yellow metal prices rise again as Venus comes to with in 12° of Sun in Sagittarius
and becomes combust.

December 15 is an important date when Sun joins Mercury and Rahu in Sagittarius.
Gold prices will suddenly shoot up.

On December 18, the prices will fluctuate but end high. 

Jupiter enters Aquarius on December 19 and comes under the aspect of Mars. This will
push gold prices up once again. Mars becomes retrograde on December 20  and Venus
moves to Sagittarius to join Sun, Mercury and Rahu. This will make gold prices shoot up.

Prices will remain some what stable after that until December 30 when gold prices will
fluctuate once again.

2012 – The Mayan And Hindu Calendar-
Is it the end of the world? Part IV
Continuation of the previous Blog . . . . . .

The Mayan long count calendar only talks about the end of the days which does not
imply the end of the days of humanity on earth. This is a misunderstanding caused by
the Biblical interpretation of the end of days meaning the end of life on earth.

End of days really means the end of systems, policies and malpractices that benefit a
few while harming a multitude of humanity. In the last fifty years the so called developed
nations have poured more pollutants in the eco system than the rest of the world did
since the beginning of life on earth. This was done to create a life style that is in total
conflict with ecology. Industrialization has overloaded the ability of earth to renew itself,
and earth has responded by a slow denial of its bounties. Global warming is just one of
the results of reckless and irresponsible industrialization. 

Excessive reliance on cheap oil by the west has pumped millions of tons of pollutants
into our eco system. The present social model where a car becomes indispensable for
every human being is extremely wasteful. Oil has become an addiction which is driving
the engines of war for the past fifty years. Two middle east wars were fought not only to
keep cheap oil flowing to the west, but also to control access to emerging industrial
giants like China and India. The present opening gambit against Iran on the chess board
of middle east is a step in the same direction. 

The genetic manipulation and modification of major life sustaining crops and their
patenting has been going on for some time now. Genetically modified food grains can
not be used as seeds for the next crop. The modification done to the grain denies it the
ability to germinate. The farmer has to depend upon the company that supplies the seed
for every crop. 

The seeds are patented so there is no legal recourse. Genetic manipulation is a way to
bring agriculture all over the world under the control of a few transnational corporations. 

The problems do not end here. Genetically modified crops can affect the naturally
growing crops in the vicinity. This is done by pollinating vectors like bees and other
insects which carry the genetically manipulated pollen to natural crops. Over a period of
time the seed obtained from natural crops will also lose its capacity to germinate. This
opens the gate to the worst possible exploitation of humanity by a few corporations.
Over a period of time the food resources of the world will come under the control of a
chosen few nations.

The genetically modified crops are so manipulated that they are resistant to most pests
and plant diseases except one or two. The company which produces the GM crop also
manufactures the insecticides for that particular infestation. The insecticide is also
patented. The farmer has not only to buy the seeds, he also has to buy the insecticide
from the same company. 

Genetically modified foods are not free from health risks either. The genes that are
incorporated in the seeds come from bacteria and other sources which can manipulate
the human genome and cause great harm over a period of time. 
These are just a few of the problems that humans are encountering. Every one of these
is the result of human greed and desire for domination. If humanity is to evolve further,
these barriers must go. The end of the days thus means the end of days of exploitation
of majority by a minority. It also means the end of the days of the ability to project power
through violence and economic means. 

To people who are strongly mired in materialism, the ideas mentioned above should
appear laughable. There is no surprise there. Just fifty years before Roman civilization
breathed its last, the very idea of its pending doom would be a matter of derision for
most Romans. Who ever thought in1939 that Hitler would die a pitiable death in a bunker
in 1945. 

2012 is just three years away, and when it is over, things will never be the same again.
They will be much better.

Concluded.

2012 – The Mayan And Hindu Calendar-


Is it the end of the world? Part III
Continuation of the previous Blog . . . . . .

So where are we now?


At present, we are fair and square in the early phase of rising Dwapar Yuga and this is
the time of rising consciousness. The evidence of it is all around us. 

In recent past, Yoga and meditation have been accepted and assimilated in highly
conservative societies of North America and Europe. Medical science which had so far
treated the human body as an assembly of organs interconnected by plumbing is
beginning to understand that there is more to our body than mere flesh, bone and gristle.

Hindu philosophy firmly believes in distributed intelligence in all organs of the body under
the overall command of our mind. This was laughed away. Now with transplanted hearts,
the patients and the physician are both finding out that the memories of the donor are
indeed transferred along with the donated organ, and that the brain of the recipient is
able to access that memory. 
Hindu ideas of super-consciousness, space, time and matter are also finding slow but
steady acceptance. These fundamental principles of creation were widely known in the
Satya Yuga but were lost during the slow downward slide of intellect in the past Kali
Yuga. Rising Dwapar is once again bringing these ideas to fore.

The humanity riding this spaceship called earth is steadily moving towards a much
higher consciousness than has been imagined till now. 

What about the chaos everywhere?


Time of transition is always chaotic, any one who has remodeled a home while residing
there knows it! As the old gives way to new, some readjustments need to be made.
Some old structures have to be dismantled so new one’s can replace these. Change is
life and life is change. 

What we see around us is the result of rising consciousness of humans everywhere.


People and countries who have natural resources of energy and matter, and have not
been paid a fair price for these are beginning to question the inequitable system. 

World religions control the minds (and pockets) of vast number of people. As
consciousness rises, these followers are questioning the hold of a few religious leaders
over their affairs. The leaders are responding by more rigid and fundamental
interpretation of the scriptures to keep their flock in line. Any one who has studied the
major world religions in the recent past knows that fences have been going up
everywhere. 

The exploitation of world resources by the west and their use of every stratagem to
maintain the status quo was successful initially but has been giving dwindling returns in
the recent past. As long as a tiny minority continues to consume a major part of the
resources of this world, peace can not be restored. 

The economic and religious strife that envelopes the world will not go away until a fair
and just system replaces the present one.

What is in store in 2012


Unlike the movie by the same name, the earth is not going to be destroyed on Dec 21,
2012. On the contrary, we are assured of an accelerated growth of spirituality and
consciousness everywhere. One thing is sure though, everything that stands to thwart
this process will be reduced to nothingness. 

The west will lose its leadership in the world affairs. After 2012, its ability to influence
world events through money or violence will be gone. The extremely wasteful economic
model that the west swears by will crumble, never to rise again for next many thousands
of years. Gone too will be the dream of multinational companies to control world
resources at any cost and profit from it.

Some calamitous events will certainly take place but these would be more by way of
course correction rather than a fundamental change of direction. Humanity will not only
survive, it will thrive. 

It would be wrong to call 2012 a cataclysm for humanity. In the long term it will be
Calypso time.

2012 – The Mayan And Hindu Calendar-


Is it the end of the world? Part II
 Continuation of the previous Blog. . . .

Let us analyze what Manu says. The length of the Satya Yuga is 4000
years with a buffer of 400 years on either side. This buffer is the Sandhi
or junction where the effect of one Yuga fades away and of the other
begins to hold sway. The total length of Satya Yuga is therefore
400+4000+400= 4800 years.

Treta Yuga is the next Yuga to follow and using the logic mentioned above
its duration turns out to be 300+3000+300= 3600 years.

The other two succeeding Yugas are Dwapar and kali and their extent
works out to be 200+2000+200= 2400 years and 100+1000+100= 1200
years respectively.
The grand total of 4800+3600+2400+1200 comes to 12000 years. 

Our Sun orbits around a grand center called Vishnu Nabhi, which is the
seat of universal intelligence. During its journey around Vishnu Nabhi
when Sun comes closest to it, Dharma becomes the driving force of
humans. Our proximity to the universal intelligence allows each and
everyone of us to fully comprehend the reality of this creation, and
remain plugged in to universal intelligence at all times.
As Sun begins to move away, our knowledge begins to fade away in direct
proportion to our distance from Vishnu Nabhi. In this way Treta and
Dwapar Yuga see the steady diminishing of human intelligence until it
reaches its lowest level in Kali Yuga. 

As Sun moves forward in its orbit, it begins to move towards Vishnu Nabhi
and once again the human intellect begins to grow. It ultimately reaches
its zenith in Satya Yuga. This cycle keeps repeating itself.

The movement of the Sun away or towards Vishnu Nabhi is indicated by


the equinoctial point. When the autumnal equinox is in Aries, Sun is
nearest to Vishnu Nabhi, and when it is in Libra, Sun is farthest from it
(Vishnu Nabhi). This refers to the position of the equinoctial point and has
nothing to do with the movement of Sun through the Zodiac.

In 11501 BC the autumnal equinox was on the first degree of Aries. At


this point the Sun began to move away from its position closest to Vishnu
Nabhi or grand center to its position farthest from it. This movement set
in motion the very slow and imperceptible decline in the mental virtue of
humans. The intellectual power of man began to diminish. 

In the next 4800 years we lost  the power to grasp spiritual knowledge. 
In the following 3600 years during the Sun’s journey through the
descending Treta Yuga the human intellect lost all power of grasping the
divine magnetism. 

In the succeeding 2400 years of the journey of the Sun through the
descending Dwapar Yuga the intellect became more clouded and
humanity lost the ability to understand the existence and nature of five
electrical energies. 

Finally in the last 1200 years of the Kali Yuga the intellectual power
became so weak that nothing about the creation could be understood. 
Only gross material level of existence was known to us.  

Adding 12000 years to 11501 BC we reach a figure of 499 AD. The period
around 500 AD was indeed the darkest part of kali Yuga and of the whole
cycle of twenty four thousand years. Even a cursory study of the history
of dark ages reveals – barring a few pockets of light - the cruelty,
ignorance and animal like existence of people all over the world.

To be continued. . . . . .

2012 – The Mayan And Hindu Calendar-


Is it the end of the world?
There are a number of misconceptions regarding the approach of Dec 21,
2012. The concept of end of days commencing on this date is taken from
ancient Mayan calendar. Let us take a closer look at it.

The Mayan calendar is based on the premise that Sun is not a stationary
star, and that it revolves along with the solar system around a fixed point
in our galaxy called the point of light. One complete orbit of Sun around
this fixed point takes 25625 years. One complete cycle is called a galactic
day and is divided into two halves of 12812.5 years. These are called day
and night. 

Mayans also divided the galactic day of 25625 into five segments of 5125
years each and assigned specific symbolism to each segment. 

The first cycle was called galactic morning. This refers to the point when
our solar system is just coming out of darkness and is about to enter
light. 

The second cycle was called mid day. During this second cycle, our solar
system comes closest to the central fixed point called the point of light. 

The third cycle represents afternoon. During this phase, our solar system
begins to come out of the light and move away towards darkness. 

The fourth cycle is the late-night, and at this point our solar system has
reached furthest from the central light. 

The fifth and the last cycle is the period before dawn. During this phase
our solar system is in its final years of darkness before starting again.
This is the cycle that we are currently coming out of.

The Hindu Vedic calendar

With only some minor variations the Hindu or Vedic calendar which
predates Mayans by a few thousand years states exactly the same thing.
Here is what Manu Smriti (teachings of sage Manu) says.

Four thousand years is said to be the Satya Yuga. Its morning  has as
many hundreds, and its evening is of the same length. (400+4000+400 =
4800). 

In the other three ages, with their morning and evening twilights, the
thousands and hundreds decrease by one. (i.e. 300+3000+300 = 3600
and so on…). 

That fourfold cycle comprising twelve thousand years is called an Age of


the gods. The sum of a thousand divine ages constitutes one day of
Brahma, and of the same length is its night. Manu specifically mentions
earth years.

In our next Blog, we shall go into the simple math of it. . . . .

Medha Suktam
Medha Suktam roughly translates as intelligence enhancing hymn. It is a very ancient
Sanskrit prayer whose origin is lost in antiquity. What is remarkable however, is that
Hinduism has preserved this priceless heritage exactly as it was created.

The honeyed beauty of its Sanskrit verses still weave the same magic that they have for
thousands of years. Mere listening to this Suktam enhances the cerebral out put by
directly influencing the Medha Nadi, or the channel of intelligence.

Students, scientists, teachers, lawyers, accountants will benefit hugely from this. The
rest of us will experience an increase in ability to comprehend complex issues. Children
with impaired intelligence will also benefit from its vibrations. 

So close your eyes and listen intently. Feel your thoughts becoming uplifted, and your
discernment enhanced.

Reincarnation – What It Is, And More


Importantly Does It Really exist? Part VI
We all know that new born infants display emotions from their first breath onwards. They
are happy, sad and angry just like us. This happens when they are awake but it also
happens when they are sleeping. This display of emotions during waking hours can be
attributed to interactions with parents and siblings, but that does not explain why they
should smile, cry or be scared during sleep. It certainly does not explain why a male
child should have an erection at an age which is very far removed from puberty. 

According to the theory of reincarnation this happens because there are traces of
memories brought forward from the past life. These memories play like a newsreel
producing different emotions at different times. As the infant gets enmeshed in the three
dimensional world, there is a slow erasing of these trace memories. 

Some infants cry all the time while some others are exactly opposite. They cry only when
they are hungry or wet. This happens because they have a lot of happy memories from
their adult past. While it is not set in stone, a happy childhood is a pointer to a happy life
later on. It may not be a wealthy or prosperous life, but it is likely to be a happy one. 

Theory of incarnation is not without its proof. In all countries, and in all cultures of this
world there are people who remember their past life. These stories have been verified
and they check out. Little children remember their wife and kids from past lives and even
remember the geographical location of their erstwhile home in another city which they
otherwise wont be able to point out on a map. 

Modern science is actually quite biased against eastern traditions. It happily propagates
the theoretical existence of purely imaginary entities like Pions, Gluons, Mesons and a
host of such particles for which they have no shred of proof. However when it comes to
the Vedic belief system, it comes out with its old criteria that anything which can not be
felt and studied can not exist.

The theory of reincarnation explains why things happen in this world, and why people
become wealthy or poor, healthy or sick, happy or sad. In short it explains the reason
behind all dualities. It very emphatically does not propagate inaction. 

A video game has a preset course of events which it repeatedly goes through unless a
player takes charge of the joystick. Once that happens, the events taking place on the
screen are altered. They become a combination of software programming and human
action.

A similar thing happens with life too. The Prarabdh Karma is the software which we
created in the past through our actions for our use in future lives. Good Karma brings
good results and the reverse is true as well. A lot however depends upon what we do in
this incarnation. If our Karma has handed us a lemon we can either lament or make
lemonade from it. Conversely we could squander away a bountiful legacy through our
immaturity.

The greatest gift of the theory of Karma and reincarnation is that for its believers, it acts
as a self imposed check on negative actions in everyday life. It also controls soaring and
often unrealistic expectations from self and environment. It keeps us well adjusted and
happy. While it does not make saints out of every one, it keeps serious crime down.
Poverty and hunger can cause petty crimes to occur but the scenarios of a gunman
taking an automatic weapon and going on a killing spree in a campus are unthinkable in
India. That says a lot about self check and self governance in everyday actions.

Reincarnation – What It Is, And More
Importantly Does It Really exist? Part V
We saw above that as the universal spirit divides, it gets the idea of
separate existence. The part that breaks away – our soul – develops a
sense of identity of its own. This sense of separate identity is called ego.
It is a very useful and at the same time very problematical idea. As soul
gets enveloped in first the astral and then the physical body, this sense of
being separate from universal spirit, helps by identifying with the human
body. Ego is necessary if one is to take good care of one’s body and keep
it well fed, well cared for and healthy. The problem arises when soul is
fully under the control of ego and completely forgets that it is a spark of
divinity. It then becomes totally enamored with the body and remains
busy in catering to the new desires that spring up daily. 

The soul becomes quite like an actor who is otherwise sane, but develops
some oddities of character when playing the part of a schizophrenic for a
long period of time. Role playing is good as long as it is an act. When role
playing becomes the role itself, that is where the problems begin. 

We have seen earlier that the soul in enveloped by the causal body, which
in turn is enclosed by the astral body. This combination is strong, secure
and inviolate. No matter what happens in the universe it sustains.

This combination is electromagnetic in nature and acts like the storage


system of a computer. Every thought that we think and every action that
we perform is continuously written on this media in real time. At the time
of death, our physical body is destroyed but a record of our activities is
carried forward stored securely on this media. 

The Karmic data that we generate is huge and can not be expended in
one lifetime. It keeps getting accumulated and is called Sanchit Karma.
(Sanchit literally translates as accumulated)

A small portion of Sanchit Karma which can be worked out in a single life
time is called Prarabdh Karma. It is this small portion that decides what
kind of a life we shall have. If we have caused anguish and misery to
people, we shall be presented with circumstances where we shall receive
identical treatment from them to know by first hand experience that
hurting others is bad. 

The happiness that we spread and the joy that we gave to people will be
rewarded as well. It will come to us in the form of sound health, peace
and prosperity. 

Prarabdh Karma is basically a software program which becomes


operational with the fertilization of the egg. The soul that enters the
vehicle thus created will decide the looks, personality, health and other
parameters of the life of the infant that comes out of the womb at the end
of the pregnancy.

The human genome has genes that decide the structure of the body and
its appearance. These genes are switched on or off by the Prarabdh
Karma to give a shape and personality to the individual. If an individual is
to suffer the loss of a limb or sensory organ from birth onwards, the
software will stop the growth of related organ right from the beginning.
The software also controls the genes that decide, skin color and skin tone,
height, health etc. In short it controls every aspect of our body and mind. 

Some people are bright and sunny while some others are gloomy and
pessimistic. It depends upon our brain chemistry and this too is decided
by the Prarabdh Karma we have brought forward from previous life.

To be continued. . . .

Reincarnation – What It Is, And More


Importantly Does It Really exist? Part IV
Continuation of the previous Blog. . . . 

How does reincarnation work?


For us to understand the mechanics of reincarnation we have to define
two more terms. The causal and the astral body. Let us do this now.

Causal body
If we take a drop of water from the ocean and chemically analyze it, it
would be identical in every way with water in the ocean. There is however
one difference. The drop has now an identity of its own. It is no longer an
ocean, it’s a drop. It is bound by the laws of physics which give it its
shape. It is important to remember this point.

When the universal spirit or God divides itself into smaller parts, each part
become a soul, and like an ocean drop, it resembles the universal spirit in
every way. There is one important difference though, the soul being a
conscious entity, develops the idea of a separate existence. 

Just as an ocean drop is bound by laws of physics like gravity and surface
tension, the soul too is bound by certain forces. Five different types of
electrical energies bind the soul and give it the idea of a separate
existence which is different and removed from universal spirit. Despite
this the soul has all the qualities of universal spirit. In Sanskrit it is called
“Karan Sharir “ as it is the underlying cause for the emergence of the
known universe. 

Causal body is purely an energy form. The five different electrical


energies form the basis of five organs of cognition in the animal kingdom
including humans. This happens in the next step of development.
 
Astral body
Astral body is electro magnetic in nature and is a step forward in the
evolution of life from pure energy. The five energies that bind the soul,
give rise to five organs of cognizance, five organs of action and five more
of the objects that will be recognized by the senses and acted upon by our
limbs. The Sanskrit names for these are Gyanendria, Karmendria and
Tanmatra.

By Gyanendria, or five organs of recognition we mean the senses of sight,


hearing, touch, smell and taste. 

Karmendria or the five organs of action are the organs of locomotion or


feet. Organs of manual skill or hands, organs of speech, organs of
nutritional intake and organs of excretion.

Tanmatra are the objects of the sense of smell, taste, sight, touch and
sound which get united with the organs of action to satisfy our desires.

When we eat an apple, our eyes and nose (Gyanendria) recognize the red
fruit as apple (Tanmatra), our mouth (Karmendria) chews and tongue
(Gyanendria) confirms the taste as apple. Our brain then combines
andsynthesizes all these inputs, the resultant feeling satisfies our desire
which is usually hunger and taste driven. We can also define this process
as below.

Tanmatra are recognized by Gyanendria and neutralized by Karmendria to


satisfy the desire of the heart. 
These five organs of recognition, five of action and five of the objects of
these actions constitute fifteen of the seventeen parts that make the
“Suksham Sharira” or astral body. 

We shall talk about the two missing parts in the next Blog.

Reincarnation – What It Is, And More


Importantly Does It Really exist? Part
III
Continuation of the previous Blog. . . . 

We see this everyday around us. In a dysfunctional marriage, one partner


suffers physical and emotional abuse for years without thinking of leaving,
then one day wakes up and leaves for good. The question is why wasn’t
this done right after the abuse began? Why did he/she have to wait? The
answer again lies in the Karmic theory. The hurt that was endured in this
life was the exact equivalent of what this person had dished out to the
brutal partner in the past incarnations. The accounts were just getting
even and neither party could walk away due to myriad reasons. 

We know of children who are cherished and lovingly raised by their


parents. We also know of infants left in a wicker basket at a church door.
They go from one foster parent to another, never realizing what parental
love and affection mean. 

There is sometimes a twist to this tale. Some infants are adopted by a


couple who dote on them and provide them the best of everything. 

Immediately after the creation of Bangla Desh in 1971, there was a huge
number of infants who had been abandoned by their mothers due to
social pressures. These babies were adopted by people in the west and
given a very comfortable life, something that their mothers could never
have imagined. These babies were never to know their biological parents
because there was no Karmic quantum to be exchanged with them. 

There was however a whole lot of Karma left unfinished with couples who
adopted them. Since it had to be expended, adoption was the only way
out and it happened. 

If one asks childless couples who have adopted children in an orphanage,


they all say that they were somehow strongly attracted to the child they
adopted. Something drew them together. Picking up one child in a group
of many may seem random, but in reality it is the attraction caused by
the contract of unfinished Karma. In Sanskrit we call it “Rin-Anubandhan”
and it translates as “contract of loans”. Loan refers to the unfinished
Karma – whether good or bad – What it means is that the people we
come into contact with, are the people with whom we have yet to expend
some Karma with. We shall receive from, and give to a relationship
exactly what we have received in past lives. 

This endless cycle needs to be severed at some point, and that is where
the  forgiveness comes in. If instead of retaliating we forgive, we have
stepped out of that cycle, and having absorbed and digested the initial
pain emerged stronger and more evolved beings. 

Breaking the cycle of birth, death and rebirth is central to the teaching of
the Hindu civilization. Ashtang Yog and Raj Yog are the offspring’s of this
central thought. A major portion of Ved, Puran(s) and Upanishad(s) is
devoted to achieving emancipation. 

To be continued. . . . .

Reincarnation – What It Is, And More
Importantly Does It Really exist? Part II
Continuation of previous Blog. . . . 
 
When we perform an action, it generates a good or bad feeling in the
mind of a person who is the recipient of our actions. Good Karma creates
happiness. Bad Karma causes pain, grief and agony in other people.
Karma whether good or bad is an energy signature which can not be
destroyed until it’s consequences are suffered or enjoyed in the present of
future lives.

Why should there be suffering or enjoyment of past actions?

If I punched a world heavy weight champion on his nose, the retaliation


will be swift. I would be knocked senseless immediately. My action would
be met by an immediate reaction. I would realize by personal experience
that inflicting pain is a bad idea. 

There may be a different scenario where I punch him, run away and
escape immediate retribution. I may elude him for a while but when he
catches up with me, he will flatten me. 

Let us take a case where I migrate to another country and elude detection
until I die. Have I beaten the system? Not by a long shot. In this case, the
champ and I shall meet again and I would be made to realize that causing
pain is bad. It is quite another thing that I wouldn’t remember the
incident and cry unprovoked assault. 

This is a simplistic example to explain the system of Karma, but one thing
is sure; the feelings of pleasure or pain that we generate for other people
are brought home to us so we may realize by personal experience the
advantages of making other people happy. The disadvantages of contrary
action are also taught rather forcefully. In India we call the good and bad
actions “Punya” and “Paap” 

The good or bad that happens to us is not God’s benevolence or


punishment. It is the result of our actions in past lives. God does not
interfere in our lives unless we fervently ask him to. When the desire to
be rid of past Karma arises from our innermost being, he hears instantly
and works even faster. That however doesn’t happen to most people as
most of us are too busy blaming him for all the ills in our life. West says,
“God moves in mysterious ways”. This is said because there is nothing to
explain why some people suffer so much while some others live in the lap
of luxury. God does not play favorites. For him each and every one of us
is but an extension of himself. If there is disparity, it is logical to assume
that there is some other cause for this. That cause is Karma. 

In the west the theory of incarnation is considered a fairy tale, but if we


carefully analyze our lives, we shall realize that apparent randomness of
good and bad events is not random at all. There is a pattern to it. There
are good times and bad times, and also times of plenty and scarcity.
These phases are read accurately through Hindu or Vedic astrology. That
is what predictions are all about anyway. If randomness has a pattern and
that pattern can be read, then the theory of incarnation is proven.

If a horoscope can reveal the Karmic pattern from past lives and give
sufficiently accurate information about relations, life partners, disease,
affluence or poverty etc. then it is proven that all the people who have
become our relations are those with whom we have an unfinished Karmic
exchange brought over from past lives. Those unfinished exchanges will
run their full course, and once finished, the person involved will either
move away or die. The hurt or pleasures that we will swap with them is a
way of learning valuable lessons about our actions.

Reincarnation – What It Is, And More


Importantly Does It Really exist? Part I
Theory of incarnation is the foundation of Vedic or Hindu civilization,
which is the most ancient and easily the most evolved of ancient societies
known to us. So advanced are its tenets and teachings that only until
about fifty years ago these appeared gibberish and superstition laden
flight of fancy to most industrialized societies.
Hindu beliefs were termed as myths and its followers as heathens. Hindu
philosophy was derisively called Hindu mythology. There is no myth in the
teachings. It only lies in the mind that is evaluating it. Small minds
comprehend little; a teaspoon can never contain an ocean.
Now in the post industrial and post quantum theory era, the world is
slowly beginning to realize the real truth and not surprisingly it echoes the
ancient beliefs of Hindu thought system.

What is reincarnation?
Theory of reincarnation says that a soul is born again and again in
different bodies to go through different experiences to evolve to a level
where it will become one with the universal spirit. Once it reaches that
stage, there is no need for it to be born again. This merging of the soul
with the spirit is called Moksha or emancipation.

What is a soul?
The universal spirit divides itself endlessly. It resides in everything that
we see around us. It also forms everything else that we can only feel.
There is nothing in the universe that is not a manifestation of the
universal spirit or God. Soul is this tiny spark of universal intelligence that
lives in all living beings. In human beings soul identifies with the human
body so much that it forgets its divine origin. It becomes like a prince who
has lost his memory in an accident and wakes up in a ghetto only to
accept living in filth and squalor as his destiny. If he is lucky, he may one
day get cured of his amnesia and return home to live a life of luxury in a
palace.

Soul in its various births performs Karma which may be good or bad.
Evolution of soul depends upon the actions it performs. By evolution we
mean the steady increase in realization that it is a spark of omnipresence,
omniscience and omnipotence; and that it is not merely a human body
with limited capacity in every sphere.

What is Karma?
Every human being performs actions during her stay on earth. These
actions are a mixture of selfish and altruistic. Some are based on pure
greed for money, power and self glorification while some other are for
wiping tears from crying eyes and bringing a smile to people who have
lost all hope.
Karma is considered positive when it is done to help others without any
thought of personal gain. Negative Karma is exact opposite of this and is
performed every time we deliberately harm others for personal gain.

Infertility – A Vedic Astrology insight


into its causes and cure. Part III
Continuation of previous Blog . . . . 

For two partners to be having the same Nadi is considered undesirable. It


brings disharmony in relationships. If both have Adi Nadi, there is usually
a separation, Madhya Nadi causes losses and Antya brings about extreme
sorrow. 

For the sake of simplicity, we can say that Nadi refers to energy field
generated by our bodies and people of same Nadi have problems living in
close proximity, sleeping and living together.

Incompatible energy fields or aura has an indirect effect on ability to have


children as well. Nadi gets the highest number of points – a total of eight
– and is considered extremely important in compatibility matching. 

Remedies
Remedies are dependent on the analysis of the chart. Infertility is a result
of the past life negative Karma. If the karma is “Dridh” (immovable) the
remedies do not work. For “Adridh” (removable) karma the chanting and
other remedies usually help. 

If the fifth house lord is weak, combust or otherwise afflicted by Saturn,


Rahu, Ketu or Mars, he loses his capacity to facilitate conception and
delivery. 

Placement of the fifth lord in the sixth, eighth or twelfth houses also
causes the same problem.

Saturn, Rahu, Ketu or Mars placed in the fifth house or aspecting it singly
or severally also cause infertility. 

Jupiter is the Karak (significator) for the male child and should be placed
in strength. Similarly Venus is the significator for girl child and she should
not be weak or afflicted. 

Venus also signifies sperm and her strength indicates reproductive ability
in a man.

The remedies will thus lie with strengthening the fifth lord, and reducing
the effect of malefic planets. It would be erroneous to wear representative
stones of afflicting malefics like Saturn, Mars, Rahu or Ketu as these will
only aggravate the problems by strengthening the negative energy. The
remedy will lie in pacification through Mantra and rituals.

Putra Kameshti Yagya


This is a fire ceremony which a couple performs together. It is performed
by chanting of relevant mantras and offerings of various herbs mixed with
clarified butter (ghee). 
This Yagya is very effective and removes the past life negative Karma
which puts obstacles in getting children. One has to find the right Brahmin
priest to do it. Charlatans abound in India and one must be careful in the
selection of the right person. 

Role of modern medicine


Modern science is now capable of increasing female ovulation through
appropriate drugs. The eggs are then harvested and fertilized by male
sperm in a laboratory. The fertilized eggs are then implanted either in the
uterus of the woman desiring to be a mother or in another woman who
agrees to become a surrogate mother for a fee. Delivery can be natural or
through a cesarean  section.

Artificial insemination is a remedial measure far more invasive than


wearing a gemstone or chanting Mantras. It will work for “Adridh” Karma
generated infertility. “Dridh” Karma is irremovable and in such cases the
sperm will be unable to play its intended role. If that happens, the sperm
of a donor is usually needed. In this case however the real father of the
child is someone unknown, proving the point about “Dridh” Karma for the
legal father.

Tempe, AZ. I was a panel astrologer for the Times Of India from 2001 to 2007
and have written weekly predictions for Times jobs. I was a panel astrologer for
Satyam infocom and have answered several hundred questions from these
sites. I started my study of astrology in 1974. I was an amateur astrologer who
became a professional in 1998. I provide concise answers to complex questions
and give detailed remedial measures to reduce the range and scope of problem
being faced by the client. I have always received exuberant praise for my
readings. My visitors book is full of very satisfied and appreciative clients. For a
glimpse of what my clients say about me please take a look at some of their
feedback at www.indian-vedicastrology.com
