Day: June 30, 2021

There is no such thing as auspicious Rahu. And inauspicious Rahu. Rahu is Rahu. Desire is Desire. Ignorance is Ignorance.

 

But MIND has it’s own propaganda. And if I speak the truth, either you will collapse my answer or some other fellow on this forum who cannot understand or is not willing to face the Truth!

 

But my followers don’t have to worry. If this answer is collapsed, you all can always turn to my website and read.

 

The MIND is cunning. The MIND likes to apply shades of auspicious and inauspiciousness.

 

Existence has absolutely no idea of what is auspicious and what is not! It just goes with the flow….like a beautiful flowing river….. it just goes on flowing….embracing and accepting all that comes on its way…there is absolutely no discrimination, no categorization…

 

A Yogi is also like a flowing river. In a million- one Yogi is born!

 

Reminds me of a real incident that Baba Ramdev had shared. It happened that one morning, Baba Ramdev visited the then Prime Minister Sri Atal Bihari Vajpayee. It was morning time, so Atalji asked Baba “ Will you have a cup of milk?”

 

Baba said “ Yes but only cow’s milk”

 

Atalji smiled and said, “ Being a Sanyasi – you discriminate between cow and buffalo milk?”

 

Baba was embarrassed and also enlightened.

 

Not everyone can be a Yogi. In a million- one is born. And that too, he remains aloof from the world, almost unreachable, behind the curtains!

 

This incident reminds us of the fact that how much the MIND takes control of the SELF. That even a great Yoga teacher like Baba Ramdev also cannot escape from the discrimination that the MIND brings along!

 

So I sympathize with the questioner. And so the question is being answered.

 

Only my genuine followers and readers can understand my sharing. And my answer. The rest are always going to condemn me. Truth is always condemned, it always has been from the very beginning of time. I am not an exception. Whenever you all will indulge on the path of TRUTH, on the path of GOODNESS, on the path of living your life with CONSCIOUSNESS- you all would also have to face severe condemnation and difficulties. It is strange that society wants you to be honest BUT nobody wants to listen to the TRUTH! That is why I always say that the society is fake – we have a majority of hypocrites around us who will ACT and APPEAR to be righteous but when the night falls – the beast within them comes out. And this is exactly how Rahu is – APPEARS to be good, but in reality, is something else!

 

That is why the support of RAHU is necessary for Film Actors, Politicians. Because the appearance has to be perfect – the whole success story of their life is based on how best they can APPEAR to the public!

 

For someone who is NOT RAHUISH but Has more support of Ketu- remains aloof, detached, away from the public eyes, only to be found in person when he wishes to. Someone like me, I have never met anyone in person and yet have been able to help a few blessed hearts!

 

So FAME comes via Rahu. KETU is least bothered about FAME. You know why? Because with Fame comes a lot of NOISE. A lot of distraction. A lot of jealousy. Who wants all of these? The Ketu-ish man is just happy to be in his own bliss. He is happy to help a few.

 

RAHU thinks or makes you believe that FAME and Wealth is the answer to all your questions.

 

The reality is something else.

 

 

But the base level soul cannot relate to this fact. The base-level soul wants to GRAB it all. And it is not the wrong too…because that is how you learn…unless you go through all of it – evolution to the next level is not possible.

 

Two possibilities are seen. Either like Jim Carrey you all will evolve after going through all of it – pleasures, sex, woman, power, money.

 

OR the second possibility is that you will become so much ignorant that you will just continue to revolve around all of these material attractions leading you to nowhere!

 

So either you all will become Hitler. Or you all will become Buddha!

 

It all depends on how soon you WAKE UP. I am not here to teach you all – I am simply here to awake you all. I am simply here to share something beautiful that has happened to me, something beautiful that can happen to you. I am singing my song, the song of the truth, the song of the Lord and whoever is going to relate is also going to find his or her song and then there is a dance, a joy, a flow of bliss within you all!

 

And this *is* possible otherwise I would not have received emails from a many of you- who are turning inwards, who are flowering into something beautiful……

 

This question has no answer. And yet this answer can lead you all to many deeper questions. The most primary of all – *Who am I?*

 

The greatest question is the question of self-inquiry says the Bhagavan. Bhagavan Ramana Maharishi.

 

 

And the day this question is born within you – all satellites and all the channels will start streaming….within itself and there is no ‘bill’ attached!

 

Gagangiri Maharaj of Khopoli used to say that once the TV within you is activated – no other TV on the outside is needed anymore!

 

My salute to His Holiness Gagangiri Maharaj.

 

Was blessed to have his Darshan when I was in my early days.

 

The common man is after wealth, money, sex, pleasures and because he remains at the base level of consciousness- Rahu appears to him as good and bad. Good Rahu means he will be showered with lots of money, fame, woman, pleasures, and all of those glamorous things.

 

And Bad Rahu means he will suffer mentally. Will go through many difficulties, challenges, ups, and downs.

 

In reality, there is no such thing as bad Rahu and good Rahu. Rahu is Rahu. Credit Card is a Credit Card. If it is ‘giving’ you then let me remind you all that it is also charging a hefty interest upon you!

 

But a common man or a base level ignorant man like to fantasize Rahu as good and bad. In reality, Rahu is Rahu. A politician is a politician. He never gives anything without a calculated self-interest!

 

If he is showering upon you all the pleasures you had wished for than he is simply keeping you away from reality and the higher purpose of this human life! Keeping you away from the Consciousness within you.

 

The Yogi is therefore happy to go through the difficulties that Rahu brings than the showering that Rahu brings!

 

Rahu cannot fool Jesus. Rahu cannot fool Krishna. Rahu cannot fool the Buddha. Rahu cannot fool Rama.

 

These all are great Yogis, who have attained the ultimate stage of Consciousness. The packages of Rahu cannot distract them. And that is why they all attained God. Became Godly!

 

There is one beautiful story. Story of the Sufi Saint Karim. Karim was one of the tallest saints of the Sufis. Such a simple man…whole life he spent in giving …..just giving…..nothing was asked for….nothing was expected. And he continued his journey from village to village…whoever came was blessed. Was cured. Was helped. But old Karim never asked or expected anything. He was just happy to be. Happy in his own bliss…..

 

When people would ask him – how his life changed – he would say:

 

“In love, People become drunkards, but in Lord’s devotion, I have become a prayerful man!”

 

One day God came to him. And God said “ Karim…my Karim….I have been watching you…your whole life I have been watching you…and you have been such a sweet fellow, such a giver that I have seen rarely such givers…who give without expecting anything in return. But Karim, today I want to give you something…..”

 

Karim smiled. Bowed before God and said “ You know I don’t take anything. Your coming itself is the greatest blessing to me. But I refuse to take anything. I am happy to be with all I am blessed with.”

 

God knew that this is what the answer was going to be! But God was also not willing to give up. He knew that this strange fellow is not going to let in so easily…

 

So God said “ Karim – I am God. And how can you deny God? How can you reject God’s offer?”

 

See God also talks cleverly like Krishna. Krishna is God. And God is Krishna!

 

Now Karim was in dilemma. He knew that God has caught him nicely. But he could also understand how much God loves him! So much so that God is just not willing to go unless he expresses some wish to be fulfilled.

 

Tears started flowing through his eyes…whole life he had not wished for anything in return for his love and now God had come to his doorstep – insisting that he must express some wish…..

 

Reciting the holy name of His Guru, and the Lord….Karim waited for a while.

 

“ I am waiting, “ said God.

 

Karim opened his eyes and said, “ God, if you really want to give me something in return then let this one wish of mine be graced by your blessing…”

 

God became very happy. Finally, Karim had agreed. Finally, Karim had expressed his wish!

 

“ Just say it and it will be granted, Karim my child…” said God.

 

And the words, the wish that Karim expressed should be written in Gold…Karim said

 

“ Wherever I go….wherever my shadow falls upon…let that place is blessed. If I am walking through a barren land….than let that barren land transform into rich farmland. If I am walking through an ill-health, sick man’s house, let that man heal and become as fit as he can. If I am walking through a jobless man’s house let him be blessed with a good job and let his family prosper…..if I am walking through a shopkeeper’s house, let his shop gain more business….if I am walking through any place where there are people suffering than let all those sufferings be Healed and let all those men and women gain strength to stand against all odds and walk through the difficulties of their life……O Lord…O God wherever my shadow falls – let that place be blessed is all I wish for….”

 

And God rushed towards Karim and hugged him tightly…..it was the only moment when God’s eyes became wet. Unable to control- God said, “ Karim even now you have not asked anything for yourself….what are you made of son…..”

 

And Karim said “ LOVE. From your ever-flowing love and grace and the compassion and love of my Guru, my Master….”

 

 

And it is said that from that day onwards wherever Karim went – wherever the Sufi Saint Karim’s shadow fell upon – was healed.

 

Sick was cured. Diseases were healed. Questions were solved. And yet old Karim never was impacted by it. Because along with the said wish – Karim also had put one condition….

 

God was also surprised. Because who could dare to put a condition before God! But Karim was a strange fellow, a very dear fellow, a true follower of God…and so God has agreed.

 

“What is it?” God had asked

 

And the most revered Sufi Saint, the saint of saints – Karim had said “Only one condition Father…that I should NOT come to know of my wish being fulfilled. That my shadow is healing all those who are touched by it. That I should never be distracted by the miracles that happen with my shadow….that I be always in my own bliss…”

 

And God had accepted this condition. God had no words to express his love towards Karim…..all God had said was “ You scoundrel…my good fellow…now come here and give me a Hug….”

 

 

And that was the golden moment of Karim’s life….he was so touched…that he started crying…but God said “ I have to go now….but you always REMAIN the way you are…. my son. I am truly touched to have such a beautiful child like you…”

 

And God turned and started walking…..here….the teardrops falling from Karim’s eyes were just not willing to stop!

 

Whenever you cry out of devotion and pure love….the teardrops feel cold to your hands. And wherever you cry out of pain…the teardrops feel warm.

 

Here the teardrops were cold because they were flowing out of devotion….pure love!

 

Karim gives all of us a significant message. That MIRACLE happening through our hands should never ever go to our heads. Because then it gives birth to that ugliest thing called EGO!

 

Karim, therefore, remains a unique Kohinoor of the Sufis. Such diamonds are rare…one in a million!

 

My salute to Sufi Saint Karimshah.

 

Shadow….Rahu is also a shadow. Shadow of our desires and wishes. But if I have to answer this question than I would say that – YES if ever the shadow has to be – than it has to be a shadow of someone as beautiful as Karimshah. Shadow of the divine master. The shadow that brings healing and peace to – others. I repeat – to Others. Then there is an altogether different dimension to life. Then there is a song to it. Then there is a dance to it!

 

 

But who wants to listen? A common man is behind his own desires and fulfillment. Only to realize at the end of his life that the whole life was wasted by focusing on the outward when the way is through inwards!

 

But my fellows and I say it all who have been following me…you all must be something. Because otherwise following a man like me is impossible. A man who is going beyond Mind. And I am always touched whenever I receive emails from those of you – who are turning inwards..who are meditating…who are flowering into something beautiful……

 

Always remember – and I say it specifically to all my followers and readers. Along with your meditation – also focus as much as you can in the ACT OF GIVING.

 

No one has ever become poor by GIVING.

 

Common men cannot give. And when I say common – let it be very clear that it has nothing to do with the status. You may be a millionaire and yet if you cannot give….the heart is not large enough to give then you remain a common soul, a common man.

 

It is irrelevant of how much you earn. If are earning 1 rupee or 1 dollar a month – give away minimum 10 cents or 10 paise every month.

 

But men and women who are too much caught in the trap of the monkey MIND cannot understand this. They go on clinging to money as if they are going to take it with them when this temporary physical body is going to perish.

 

And Buddha says – You only lose what you Cling to!

 

 

So all these men and women who remain stingy and are always clinging to money – always end up in utter misery. They may die in the most expensive luxurious hospital but there is no peace to their hearts….the nature of clinging never lets them the peace and the bliss that their soul longs for!

 

This nature of clinging is of Rahu. Rahu is the North Node of the Moon ( Mind). The Mind is ALWAYS in favor of Rahu. The Mind is always against Ketu! Because Ketu has the strength to overcome the monkey mind. And Mind, therefore, dislikes Ketu. Ketu is a direct danger to the existence of the monkey mind. And Shri Ganesha represents Shri Ketu.

 

Today as we all are celebrating Ganesha Festival, in His omnipresence let us all fold our hands and pray to Him for love, for detachment, for real growth.

 

 

All the Gurus have always first prostrated before Lord Ganesha! Because unless you have the support of Ketu – the ‘jump’ cannot be initiated. The ‘courage’ to detach cannot manifest!

 

 

There was one little girl. Very sweet. And she lived in a small village. And when she comes to know that Gautama Buddha is coming to her village….her heart is filled with joy…..she eagerly waits for his arrival…..

 

 

And Buddha comes. And the whole village gathers to listen to His golden words..to His discourse. The girl is also present. Buddha speaks….and the whole village hears….but the little girl listens. Every word is listened and not just heard. When you hear- the word is not reaching within. When you listen – the word goes all the way to your heart….and then the heart starts vibrating. Her heart too was vibrating with every single word of the Lord…her heart moved. When the discourse was over, all the villagers went back to their home. But only this little girl remained and she said….

 

“Master initiate me….I have been waiting for you…..”

 

To this, the Buddha says “ And I have been waiting for you….I have come all the way just for you….your prayers and your love have brought me here…”

 

And Buddha initiated the little girl. She said

 

“ I want to be with you. Take me along with you.”

 

Buddha said “ The road is long and I am getting old…you need not come with me, I am with you, so why unnecessarily take the physical pain to walk along with me? You stay here in this village. And wherever you are – you will progress and a day will come when the light of Consciousness within you will guide the people of this village. Always remember– I am with you.”

 

The girl hugged the master. Through her flowing tears, she washed the feet of the master. And the master blessed her – His eyes became wet, with a heavy heart he said:

 

“I must leave now…..”

 

The master left. But only after sowing a divine seed…that is to grow into a beautiful tree..someday…sometime….someplace!

 

 

People are many. One cannot imagine how vast this human world is! We all limit our world to our mind. Our mind is our world. I am helping you all to come out of this Mind. It is a long journey and the majority has not even started!

 

But you all have met me through this forum and for a few….a very few…the journey has begun!

 

No matter how long is the journey, every long journey begins with a small step!

 

So come, come you all. Let us bath in the glory of the Lord. Let us sing in the glory of the lord. To God, to the ultimate Consciousness- there is nothing called inauspicious or auspicious. Everything is Godly and Everything is perfect. Then a crow is also as good as an eagle. Because the conscious master sees through His heart. We see through our Mind. And so we discriminate between the Black and the White. To the master – black is as beautiful as white. An ant is as equal as a human being!

 

Saint Tukaram once met the might ruler Chaptrapatti Shivaji Maharaj and looking at the king- Saint Tukaram said: “ To me, an ant is as equal as a human being.”

 

 

A beautiful picture of Saint Tukaram and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj

 

Saint Eknath had carried the holy water of the Ganges. As he was about to reach his home, he came across a thirsty crow. The crow was dying the crow was thirsty….and Saint Eknath without thinking for a second – offered the holy water of Ganges to that dying crow! The crow was saved. The crow happily flew away. The water that he had carried along all the way from Kashi for his family- was offered to a dying crow! Only someone as beautiful as SAINT Eknath can do such a gracious thing. The pundits may call him a fool, but to God, there is absolutely nobody as wise as Saint Eknath! My salute to His Holiness.

 

 

A lovely picture of Saint Eknath writing the holy scripture ‘Eknath Bhagwat’

 

Our land is blessed with such great Saints. Blessed are the men and the women who is born on this land – the land of the Saints – our beautiful India!

 

Let us all come out of this caste barriers, let us all come out of this monkey mind that goes on driving us to many miseries…let us all come out of all discriminations…..let us all come out of the nature of condemning….because every Saint has a Past and every Sinner has a future!

 

The journey never stops. Some fail, some succeed….but failing and succeeding is a part of the PROCESS that we all must trust.

 

Trust HIS process and just go with the flow of your life. Let life flow, don’t interrupt. Flow with compassion in your heart. Compassion can cure more sins than Condemnation.

 

On this auspicious occasion of Ganesha festival- I wish and pray that all my followers and readers be blessed with the light of Consciousness.

 

When you focus within when you balance your Meditation with good karma, the karma of giving, helping…..slowly you all will start flowering…..and then there will be a song to your life…a dance…then life starts transforming into a beautiful painting….then you are no more a Caterpillar but transforming into a beautiful butterfly.

 

Every day God brings life to millions of buds that start flowering…..into a beautiful flower…You all too will start flowering…all you have to do is live your life in total surrender…surrender to your master. To your lord. Let HIM drive your life. HE can do more with your life than – you can.

 

 

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Good question. Such questions come from pure intelligence. It shows that the questioner is turning inwards and when you do so – genuine questions like this – are born!

Rahu targets your Consciousness. The more you go deep into Rahu Dasha – there is always a strong possibility of your Consciousness getting blocked to a larger extent.

There are hundreds of such real life scenarios that I have come across through those who have been through all of this. SEX. MONEY.POWER.LUST.Too much of spending. And many such distractions leads the person away from his or her Consciousness!

Many times a good well cultured woman is dragged into many sexual affairs and many times a good man of heart is also distracted towards too much of sexual attractions.

The most easy target is Sex. Because that is where 90% of the population gets dragged easily. Men and women alike – the desire of having sexual pleasures is always lurking in the subconscious mind. And Rahu activates this desire much faster than otherwise!

Then comes Power, money, status – Rahu is too hungry for all of this! He can MAKE THINGS APPEAR – WHICH IN REALITY THEY ARE NOT!

So many times I have seen women or men getting ‘bowled’ by the appearance of a certain person and later getting cheated or feeling betrayed!

Many time you meet a beautiful woman who ‘appears’ so nice and so good to your ‘mind’ and then you roll over to her and then the grass starts growing…..and then one fine day she gives you a call and says ‘ I am pregnant’ !

So then you are nicely trapped and once trapped – the journey of many miseries never tend to end. Many such stories happen around the world. Every minute a heart is melting for someone and many time you really dont know how that someone – really is!

You just see the trailer- you just see the good looks and the appearance – you are yet to know the real person. And Rahu ensures that you never get to know the real person until you are completely trapped!

I have seen many boyfriends miserable at the hands of their girlfriends and many girlfriends miserable at the hands of their boyfriend. And it gets worse when Rahu period runs on.

This Rahu Mahadasha is the time to receive all that you had wished for and also to pay back all that you had done in your past life. So some receive a windfall of pleasures and money – that is in real terms to distract the person from the path of righteousness- to block his or her Consciousness so that he or she gets their hands dirty and then the whipping of Rahu begins – usually at the end of its Dasha.

So first Rahu gives you a lot. A friend of mine had a lot of good things happening- money, sex, status- and then everything was taken away from him – all of sudden.

So Rahu basically is like a CREDIT CARD. It appears appealing – and you are also encouraged to INDULGE in spending for pleasures but then one fine day the bank person comes at your doorstep and then the real torture begins!

This is a very deep subject. The subject of Rahu. My new book is published on the subject of Rahu – “How to overcome Rahu”. You and all those who are reading this answer can avail a copy for yourself. The book is available on Amazon – in print and also in ebook format on Amazon Kindle App.

Basically Rahu period comes to manifest your intense desires. But every action has a reaction. Similarly every desire has a side effect. For example you may like a woman. You may get into a relationship. You may enjoy good sexual pleasures through her. But then what next? This is one part of your desire that is fulfilled. Now the next part begins with its side effects. Either you will get married to her or if you deny marriage – you get affected by her curse or resentment. So anyways you have to walk through the second part of the story. If you deny – you will be punished. If you accept her – still you dont know whether it is going to be a blessing or a punishment (depends on the sign and aspect of Rahu)!

So falling into relationships is easier – that is the first part of the movie. The second part after interval decides whether this movie (period) of Rahu is going to be Hit or a Flop.

Usually it turns out to be a flop story. But then you never know – sometimes it also turns out to be a blessing in disguise!

Blessing in disguise – because through your failures in relationships – you realize the futility of it and in the process ‘evolve’ into a much matured person. Again this positive outcome is possible if the person is having some Consciousness to his existence. Else he or she will get into depression and become self destructive!

Many times it happens that a married man or woman during Rahu Mahadasha get into extramarital relationships. A woman had Ketu strongly placed in her 7th house. Her husband had a strong Rahu in 7. Now how will this marriage work? The man had a very strong sexual appetite and the woman was not much interested in sex. Now it is obvious that less evolved souls in such a scenario will breakup. The husband got into a relationship with his office colleague and the wife caught him red handed. Soon divorce was triggered.

Now whom to blame? The society has made a mess out of this word called marriage!

A successful marriage stands on the success of a good satisfying sexual union. But in a country like India – people paint all kind of poetic pictures about marriage- without taking into consideration of sexual compatibility.

In the ancient days – the emphasis on marrying a person of the same caste – was because of sexual compatibility. Those times the authenticity of castes was in place. So that was one measure to guarantee sexual compatibility. But with time castes remained no more as authentic as they were. Mixed breeds happened along the way and now there is absolutely no way to measure sexual compatibility by relying on castes. So marriage out of caste is no more a taboo as it wa during the very ancient days of Mahabharata or Ramayana!

Now that you have come up with such a question- through your question – in the larger interest of my followers and readers I would like to share the remedy.

The remedy is simple – Fast on Monday. (Breathing pattern is purified due to fast. And Monday is for the Mind. Rahu is the north node of the mind.)

And generally avoid eating spicy food. If you are nonvegeterian by birth than eat non veg. That is following your Dharma. If you are a vegetarian by birth than eat vegetarian. That is following your Dharma. Just follow your Swadharama! (Righteousness). There is one insightful article of mine on LinkedIn that talks on Swadharma. What is Swadharma?

A very deep question. And one day I found the answer by the Grace of the beloved master. Swadharma is simply executing your daily responsibilities by remaining DETACHED!

Beautiful.

The conscious part is blocked by Rahu. And so people running through Rahu Mahadasha become an easy target of Black Magic. What is BLACK magic? The energy is the same but is used to cause harm. And how can someone harm you? Only when you have moved away from your Consciousness! So the first target of the black magician is to target your Consciousness. And with someone going through Rahu Mahadasha- it becomes a much easier task for the black magician to target and cause harm in some way for the other.

So many such things happen during Rahu Mahadasha. Black magic victims, Sexual scandals, money frauds, murders , theft, debt issues and many such things happen.

BUT – if the heart of the man or woman remains pure – if the person remains conscious of his or her actions – if the person devotes himself to his or her Master – then let me tell you – yes you will have some ‘bruises’ on your body but not beyond that. And even those bruises are simply to remind you of what you have been through- so that you remain grounded and devoted to the ever compassionate master who helped you sail smoothly through these dark tunnels of Rahu!

Salute to the compassionate master – may His blessings be with all those who inspite of many difficulties continue to walk with unwavering faith in their heart.

When you all are going through Rahu Mahadasha- only two coins can help you sail smoothly. The two precious coins that Sai Baba so compassionately has offered to all of us – the coin of FAITH. And the coin of PATIENCE.

SHRADDHA aur SABBURI. Let these two coins be with you – while you cross this challenging period of RAHU and then there will be a song to it. Then there will be a song to it. Song of the Lord. Song of the TRUTH!

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru!

“On your path – you will come across people who would ‘appear’ to be positive, spiritual but in reality, they will be utterly jealous of you – and will try their level best to demotivate you – pull you down – BUT- remember you should not fall in their trap. Because they are in minority – while those who love you are in majority – but the MIND is such that it FIRST gets distracted towards the negative – I alert you – this is going to happen – but you have to remain conscious – you have to write in the larger interest of those beautiful souls who are looking forward – for motivation – so let the jealous mean people try to demotivate you – but you should always motivate others – always remember this – Sammasti.” – a young man received this divine message in his dreams. He must be like me. He must be like you too!

In life, on the path that you have chosen – you will find many people who will try their level best to demotivate you – out of jealousy, out of ego, out of pride – out of malicious intentions – they will try to do all sorts of things that are possible to FINISH YOU – to ‘KILL’ YOU VIRTUALLY!

When the MOON is weak – RAHU becomes more harmful than otherwise!

Then some people – commit suicide. Yesterday I read the news – a woman committed suicide – just because she was trolled on TWITTER!

So you see – when you ask me a question of RAHU transiting 11th house – I would want to alert you – that you may become a target of social (virtual) platform – people may troll you – some people may ‘appear’ (RAHU) to be sweet – but in reality they will be planning to target you someday or the other.

RAHU in 11th – money comes, but the same money makes you blind. You become blind – totally blind – when I say blind – it is the blindness of your consciousness and not your Eyes. You will see – but you will not feel. And there is a beautiful story that I can relate you to.

The Master has been observing both of his disciples – they have been following the Dharma – but a time came when only one had to be chosen as HIS successor. So one day the master gave one parrot to each and told the disciples to go to a lonely place – where nobody is watching – kill the parrot and come back.”

The first disciple came back within minutes. He went outside the house, went behind the house, looked — there was nobody — killed the parrot and came back. The Master said, “Wait. Let the other one come back too.”

Days passed, months passed, and then years passed. After three years the other man came back with the parrot still alive.

He said, “Take your parrot back. If this is a condition for initiation it is impossible to fulfil. I searched in every possible way: I went into the mountains, I went into dark caves, underground caves, but it is impossible.”

The Master said, “Why is it impossible?”

He said, “I was present, the parrot was not alone — one thing. I closed my eyes, I blindfolded myself, I put the parrot behind me, but the parrot was present! I drugged the parrot, I made the parrot unconscious, but then suddenly I became aware that God is present and he is present everywhere. I have tried hard for three years; I could not find a place where he is not. So please take your parrot back. I am sorry — I have failed.”

The master took the hand of the second disciple in his – raised him up – hugged him and said: “ Son – you have NOT failed – you are the one who has truly succeeded me.”

Your blindness is your ignorance – it has nothing to do with your eyes – there are millions of blind men who have no eyes to see – and yet they are much conscious, much humane, much understanding than those who have those perfect eyes!

The first disciple was ignorant. He simply followed the Master’s words like a robot – there was absolutely no consciousness – no awareness – no humanity – no FEELINGS.

You will ‘see’ – but you will not ‘feel’ – that’s what RAHU does – you fall for the ‘appearance’ – you just fall for the ‘looks’ – the ‘words’ that are spoken – you never try to ‘see’ what lies within.

Millions and millions of beautiful woman and handsome men are in this world – and they exist in almost every walk of life! And yet not every woman who ‘appears’ beautiful is truly beautiful within! But shallow people fall easily to the ‘appearance’ – RAHU is appearance- many times people with RAHU in ascendant looks high appealing – magnetic – if a woman has RAHU in ascendant she has that perfect figure – to which the man falls – and then a time comes in his life when he starts to ‘figure’ out on how to get out of her clutch! But he is already ‘caught’!

That is how RAHU entangles you – like a ruthless serpent – and then you try hard to ‘figure’ out on how to get a divorce or a breakup – but you are already in her trap – now there is no way out!

Never fall for the ‘appearance’ – a good looking woman can trap you easily – only if you are shallow and following only that what ‘appears’ – just the way the first disciple falls for the ‘words’ without going beneath those words and understanding the true essence of the ‘test’.

And so the Master then turns to the first disciple and says “Get out, get lost! You are simply stupid. It will take lives for you to understand what I have to teach.”

But to the other – the second disciple – the Master says “You are accepted, you are welcomed. This was a test — you have passed it.”

Test of consciousness! Life at every moment is testing your consciousness!

WHY DIVORCE HAPPENS? WHY BREAK-UP HAPPENS?

It has more to do with consciousness. It has more to do with the shallowness within you.

You are happily married – and yet you fall for a woman. Why? Ask yourself – WHY? and the most obvious answer is her ‘appearance’! You fall for those looks – those sweet talks – all is ‘appearance’ – it is just a ‘trailer’ – you haven’t yet found the real movie – the real package that lies beyond the ‘trailer’ that you have been falling for!

APPEARANCE – that’s RAHU.

11th house – that’s your girlfriend or boyfriend or second wife!

And RAHU in 11th house – is a strong indication that you will come across ‘men’ or ‘women’ who will APPEAR to be good, to be nice – but in reality the story is something else!

The ancient seers have signified 11th house as MARAK. Strange. Because this house brings you a girlfriend, money, status and yet it is called MARAK. Were the sages mad? When a wise man is sitting with 10 mad men – it is the wise man who is called ‘fool’ – the majority always wins!

But in reality, the sages were so wise – that when they scripted the essence of astrology – the AGE -that period was very spiritual in nature. So anything that comes in between you and your spiritual progress was considered to be MARAK!

See – how beautiful is this – but now we have come so far – that beyond SEX – beyond MONEY – beyond POWER – there is absolutely nothing that can attract you!

And that is how RAHU finds it easy to catch you. It was difficult for RAHU to catch men and women in the ancient times – but now it is easy because people have become shallow – their priorities have changed – Love has taken backseat and SEX has taken the front seat. MONEY is on the mind and the feelings have no place. Controlling others has become more important than controlling oneself – Power – therefore has become a great attraction.

So now the 11th house – has now become the most IMPORTANT house in the affairs of human beings. You see – as time changes – so does the priorities, the importance changes! Today the most powerful nation is the US. Some 100 years ago – it was England. And a few more hundred years ago – it was INDIA!

With time – MARAK becomes TARAK – and TARAK becomes MARAK.

Sad story – but a real story of today’s AGE!

I love the ancient seers and I love them because of their deeper realization of what the 11th house finally leads to!

Yes – 11th house may shower lots of money, power, beautiful friends (girlfriends/boyfriends) – status – fame – power. BUT with all this package comes the baggage of EGO, ARROGANCE, LUST, GREED – which finally leads the soul to nowhere – but only to HELL.

Bhagavad Gita Verse 21, Chapter 16 Three gates of hell cause one’s destruction, desire, anger and greed. Therefore, give up these three.

You see – why the ancient Seers labelled the 11th house as MARAK. How deep is their vision – truly- that is why I have been saying again and again – Astrology is beyond Mathematics – Astrology is spiritual by nature – but people don’t get it – they are still stuck in the ‘calculations’ and in houses, cusps, and Yogas!

Now – the 11th house has all the pleasures you have been seeking for many past lives. Look at the 5th house – that is where the ‘key’ to unlock the pleasures of the 11th house is. If your 5th house is well aspected – the 5th house lord is positive – only – than the ‘assets’ of the 11th house can be utilized with consciousness!

This is of great significance – understand this because nobody is going to tell you this – but I am sharing it with all my readers – understand this.

5th house is the accumulation of your past Karmas – and the state of the 5th house lord determines how conscious you have been – how conscious you are – how constructive you are – you see – that is why this house also determines ‘entrepreneurship’ – because only a creative, conscious, constructive man or woman can become an entrepreneur! So 5th house determines – WHAT YOU ARE?

But the story does not end here. You may be a good man – a good woman – a good entrepreneur – but will you succeed – how much will you succeed?

And the answer is found in your 11th house and 11th house lord placement.

I am going to make a revelation. The 11th house is RAHU! It is a very strange revelation – but if you look deeply into the matters of the 11th house – as discussed above – then you will find that – O yes – RAHU indeed is comfortable in 11th house – because RAHU is all that MAYA – and 11th house is MAYA (material world) and so RAHU if is in a sign of Libra, Aquarius, Gemini – then definitely this RAHU showers upon you the MAYA and makes you so much BLIND that only if you have a strong 5th house and 5th lord than you can find balance – else the MAYA of RAHU drags you all the way to so much so that you become ‘money’ and just ‘money’.

11th house is Rahu’s house. 11th sign – Aquarius is also Rahu’s sign. Have you ever met an Aquarius woman? A woman who has her MOON in Aquarius sign – she is from head to feet – a perfect RAHU.

Aquarius moon women are outspoken, modern (or in some cases – highly modern) – generally not traditional – they like everything that goes against the social norms – basically, they are the rebels – you tell them – do this – and they will ask you one hundred questions.

Aquarius woman or men – are not very faithful – not very traditional. RAHU won’t let them. Their moon (MIND) dwells in the vicinity of RAHU – so they are NOT emotional. They are highly intellectual. They are totally in their MIND – there is absolutely no place for the heart.

Such women and men – do well in IT, Engineering, they also do well as surgeons – because all these fields need no emotional connection. Even in the military, they are exceptionally good.

A doctor can cut your stomach – only if he has or she has that emotional disconnect – and Aquarius is one of the most emotionally disconnect zodiac sign!

So RAHU in 11th – from transit or natal placement – is good from the material perspective – you will get what you had wished for – BUT – how you are going to use – is totally based on the position of your past karma – your consciousness – which is your 5th house!

Last week, I was seated in an old shrine – and the shrine is such that it is BIG with a beautiful garden and many young boys and girls come to study – because it is a nice place for studies – quiet and peaceful. And seated on the floor – looking at the master’s photo – a thought came – this is the 5th house.

You see – even locations are influenced by certain energy to which as per astrology you can address as 5th 6th 7th and so on.

So many boys and girls come – they are deeply engrossed in their studies – nearby is the Samadhi of the benevolent divine master – and who knows – as they study together – it is obvious that within a few of them – love may also spark up! – A perfect 5th house. That has love, studies, and also divinity!

But then a question came – how come ‘love’ relates to the 5th house.

And now as I write to you – that 5th house is the house of consciousness – suddenly I am enlightened with the fact that yes – consciousness is the door to real love – true love – the higher love – and that is how love gets connected to the 5th house!

At its highest, love is a religious state of consciousness. I love you too, Buddha loves, Jesus loves, but their love demands nothing in return. – Rajneesh

Love succeeds. Love never fails you. Always remember this. You – fail love because of your Ego, because of your ignorance, but love never fails you!

In life – many of you go across multiple relationships. In fact, it is a good thing. Look around you – how many have truly experienced love – relationships – but you have. You have and this is very important – understand this – YOU HAVE. It is okay that the relationship may have failed – it is okay that that at several stages love may have dried away in your life – but at least you had the ‘experiences’ – and it is those ‘experiences’ that have helped you to EVOLVE – to MATURE – to become a totally different person than you had been – when it all had begun!

And so – I never look down upon those men and those women who had been through many relationships – because it is these relationships – these experiences, these failures that help you to mature – to understand life.

In fact, that man, that woman is truly the most beautiful person – who has the courage to declare to the skies whatever they are – whatever they have been through. It really takes courage to ‘be’ what you are!

The master always likes the man, the woman – who has the courage to declare their reality – such a man, such a woman always is welcomed – because to experience the beyond – courage is needed – and a man, a woman who has the courage to reveal all that he or she is and had been through – can certainly ‘JUMP’ and only that man and woman can reach the beyond – who has the courage to JUMP!

My whole love and respect is for the person who accepts himself totally, as he is. He has courage. He has courage to face the whole pressure of the society which is bent upon splitting him into divisions – into good and bad, into saint and sinner. He is really a brave, courageous being who stands against the whole history of man, of morality, and declares to the skies his reality, whatever it is. – Osho

You may have many encounters of love affairs – that’s your 5th. But you are failing or you have failed in those love affairs – whenever your 5th house, the 11th house comes under a transit that either – makes you ignorant or brings someone who is more attractive than you – and then your love-partner/boyfriend or girlfriend leaves you.

Then what to do? That is the main question? Isn’t it?

And the answer is simple – LET GO. Because if you try to bring him or her back – what is the guarantee that they will stay on?

But who wants to listen? Your heart knows the truth – but your MIND is not willing to ACCEPT. And that is how you make your life more miserable!

Just a few days ago – a young man called me and said “ From last few weeks I am taking sleeping pills because my girlfriend has left me.”

A woman is NOT the weaker sex. It is the man who is the weaker sex. Understand this-this is of great significance. The woman has more resistance power. The man is very weak against small bugs – and yet he becomes Muhammad Ali – the Great! He cannot fight small bugs, he is incapable of doing any boxing against them. But the woman does.

It is a very strange thing that the suicide rate of the man is double that of the woman – and woman is the weaker sex?? She suffers more, her whole life in the past has been of suffering. Woman have been treated like cattle.

When a woman is pregnant – she can tell whether the child in her womb is male or female. How can she guess it? Very simple guesswork, which is absolutely certain. The boy starts kicking in her womb, the girl is calm and quiet. And the mother can feel the difference. The boy is becoming tense, worried already, already trying to learn boxing. The girl is very silent in the mother’s womb – creates no movement is more stable, more centred, more grounded.

Women threaten that they will commit suicide, but they do not do it. The difference is again the same: men commit suicide twice as often as women do. And it has to be understood that their suicides are also different. The woman commits suicide because the man forces her to commit suicide. Man commits suicide because of his own anguish, worry, despair

This man also was about to commit suicide because he was angry – frustrated on his failure – he was deserted by his girlfriend – and life seems to be a dark tunnel – where there was no light, no love, no feelings.

Then I told him a small story – a story that I am going to share with you all.

It happened once, there was a great Sufi saint. And HE had remained happy his whole life — no one had ever seen him unhappy — who was always laughing, who was laughter, whose whole being was a perfume of celebration…. In his old age, when he was dying, on his deathbed and still enjoying death, laughing hilariously, a disciple asked, “You puzzle us. Now you are dying, why are you laughing? What is there funny about it? We are feeling so sad. We wanted to ask you many times in your life why you are never sad. But now, confronting death at least, one should be sad. You are still laughing — how are you managing it?”

The old man said, “It is simple. I had asked my master — I had gone to my master as a young man; I was only seventeen and already miserable, and my master was old seventy, and he was sitting under a tree, laughing for no reason at all. There was nobody else there, nothing had happened, nobody had cracked a joke or anything, and he was simply laughing, holding his belly. I asked him, ‘What is the matter with you? Are you mad or something?’

He said, ‘One day I was also as sad as you are. Then it dawned on me that it is my choice, it is my life.’

“Since that day, every morning when I get up, the first thing I decide is… before I open my eyes I say to myself, ‘Farid” — that was his name — “what do you want? Misery? Blissfulness? What you are going to choose today?’ And it happens that I always choose blissfulness.”

It is a choice. Try it. When you become aware the first moment in the morning that sleep has left, ask yourself, “Farid, another day! What is your idea? Do you choose misery or blissfulness?”

And who would choose misery? And WHY? It is so unnatural — unless one feels blissful in misery, but then too you are choosing bliss, not misery.

It is your life. The PAST is no more. The FUTURE is not yet. And the PRESENT moment is always asking you – What do you want? Misery or Bliss?

What you choose is what you become.

The young man liked the story. I said to him “You remember this story every morning you get up – every morning – try it out for a week and then call me.”

After seven days he calls me and says “ I am reborn – I am feeling so good – and you know what – I have also stopped taking those sleeping pills.”

Life can change, life can help you to rise – only if you are willing to take that one step – towards bliss. If you are willing to drop the past and embrace the present – then the miracle can happen – the question is are you ready – and the other question is how to get ready?

And the answer is – first, learn to LET GO. Always remember – after every full stop – a new sentence begins! The story never ends. There is always someone out there – for you – the only thing is still the time hasn’t come – the moon is yet to become full!

Wait. Learn to be PATIENT. PATIENCE is the KEY. And the driving force of this KEY is FAITH! FAITH & PATIENCE. SHRADDHA AUR SABURI.

Sai Baba has given the greatest keys for you to unlock the treasure of your life – SHRADDHA AUR SABURI.

I want something from you.. Can you give it to me? It requires big heart to give… Weak people can’t give. want faith and Patience (Shraddha or Saburi) from you.. When you give me these two then you have to walk on path of this.. Now ask yourself that are you strong enough to give me. – Sai Baba

Let those who have left you – find their own way. You just be patient and be faithful – morning comes – joy comes, life is never the same, change is constant. Always remember this – success is not final and failure is not fatal.

Rahu 11 transit will bring a lot of MAYA – meaning, relationship, social networking, followers – but BE AWARE – this MAYA is of RAHU and whatever RAHU gives, HE gives it at a certain cost.

I have seen people become busy with their friends, social obligations and in return, the cost they have to pay is of the ‘family life’! Money is coming, status is coming your way – but family life is slipping out of your hands – what to do? Only an evolved soul can find a balance. Balance – that is the word. And to bring a certain balance to your life – you have to first know yourself. How will you know yourself? Only through meditation, by focusing on the Lord’s name.

The whole chaos is of your MIND. And the MIND is judgemental. Be very careful, especially when you are on your spiritual journey – because every now and then – your MIND may hover over you-you may get into intellectual debates – you may fall for appreciations – you may become a victim of your EGO – there are many hurdles that you have to consciously overcome – it sounds difficult – but with the arrival of the Guru – the Master – everything becomes possible – remember one thing – the Guru is not the one who holds the torch – the Guru is the torch.

Coming June 2019 – you all will find the collection of my Quora answers on Rahu in a new book format. In the new book – you will come across a beautiful real story that reveals the greatness of the Guru. The book is titled “RAHU – Spell of Ignorance.” – It will be released worldwide via Amazon.

There is much to RAHU – much to be revealed – some people are having pain in their stomachs on why I am sharing so much openly – let them have the pain – while we all rejoice in sharing, in following the path of love, the path of the Truth.

Life knows only one law and that law is of expansion and sharing. Meditation is widening of Consciousness- expansion, not narrowing. – Osho

Always remember – You have no right to expect anything from anyone. To expect means you are living in ignorance.

If you cannot understand a certain sharing – a certain answer – you are free to ignore or disconnect or block – but why to hurt someone? But people don’t get it – you may become 50 yrs old – you may talk a lot about spirituality and yet if you cannot use words wisely than everything goes down the drain. This is how people make distances – this how people create their own karmic cycle.

You may go on calling me a fool – but by doing so – you are becoming much foolish. Because one negative step – creates 1000 times negative affects in your life, on your body, in your mind. Mind – the mind is judgemental – and the moment you become a judge – the whole essence is lost – you may scream to the whole world – how great you are – but inside you remain a hollow man – totally disturbed man, a lost man. And that’s what RAHU does – Rahu makes you a miserable man – he may give you all the wealth and power and yet you always remain a lost man – a man with no direction, no purpose – no life. To be with RAHU is to be with Ignorance – and that is what my new book is about – the SPELL OF IGNORANCE. And to be with GURU – is to be with consciousness. The answer to all your problems is in one word – CONSCIOUSNESS

You can always read my first book which is on consciousness — titled “Gift of Consciousness” available on Amazon.

Man has the capacity to create power, great power, infinite power. Man is not a small as he appears. Just a small atom, invisible to eyes, can create immense power, what to say about human consciousness. – Osho

Consciousness! The beauty of consciousness is beyond the power of words. When you are living with consciousness – it doesn’t matter if the whole world calls you a fool. And if you are living with ignorance – it doesn’t matter even if the whole world calls you a genius!

Lao Tzu – what a lovely divine man. Without HIS words, how can this answer end! Yesterday – an old connection on LinkedIn commented – that there is no answer in my answer. I disconnected with him – also blocked him – because even though he had been a close follower – lately it seems that he has developed certain negativity within him – he has become the mind – he is reading my answer but by his MIND – he may go to many masters – but how can he find the truth – how can he — when he is reading my answer through HIS MIND! And Mind is judgemental – it goes on judging and judging and in the process, the real essence is lost – it is simply lost.

When somebody listens to my teaching without the mind, he becomes enlightened. If somebody listens to my teaching through the mind, then he finds his own eplainations, which have nothing to do with me. – Lao Tzu

“And then there is a third type of people” – says Lao Tzu – “People who listen without listening – when somebody listens as if he is listening without listening, then he laughs at my foolishness.”

Lao Tzu further says – And the third type of mind is the MAJORITY.

If the majority doesn’t laugh at you, be aware that you must be saying something wrong. If the majority laughs, only then are you saying something true. When the majority thinks you are a fool, only then is there some possibility of your being a wise man; otherwise, there is no possibility. – Lao Tzu

I am happy when someone calls me a fool. Because when you know what you are – what difference it makes if someone calls you a fool, a stupid, an idiot? Tell me – and that is why I appeal to all you fellows, readers – that look – look within and discover yourself.

Discover yourself, otherwise you have to depend on other people’s opinions who don’t know themselves. – Osho

Gains (11th) is one thing – what you make out of those gains (5th) is other. And my purpose is simply to help you and the readers – to raise your awareness. Else there are millions and millions of books on astrology – but my answer is beyond astrology – Astrology has become the tool of the MIND – when in reality it has nothing to do with the MIND – it is purely meditative – and only a meditative man can understand the essence of astrology and the essence of my answer. Be more and more meditative – I tell you – and all my readers and fellow travellers – throw away the MIND – and come to the core of your heart – that is where the true answer is – that is where the essence of true life is.

Jai Shri Ganesha! Jai Guru!

State of Desire has come to the State of Desirelessness. And State of Desirelessness has come to the State of Desires!

That is in nutshell what Rahu transit on Ketu and Ketu transit on Rahu is all about!

What you had desired – or – the subtle desire that is still ‘alive’ within you – now need to be ‘nullified’ (KETU – SHUNYA).

And the matters of the house in which your NATAL KETU is placed – those matters are to be aflamed!

How beautiful is this and how beautiful astrology can be! I thank you for the question that you have asked.

This is how life is – this is how the many birth cycles that you all have been through is!

A man who has KETU in his 7th house in this BIRTH – had the same KETU in his 1st house! Last Birth he had TOO MUCH OF SEXUAL PLEASURES – this BIRTH the ‘TRANSIT’ has happened – now KETU is at RAHU’s place and RAHU is at KETU’s place!

Some trouble is expected when you have to ‘change the bench’!

Remember the old school days – the class teacher would order – “Mohan – you have sat on the first bench for many days – now from tomorrow – you will sit on the last bench and those who were LAST will become FIRST.”

And this is how the whole UNIVERSE has been functioning – this is what exactly GOD has been saying – “THOSE WHO WERE LAST will become FIRST”!

You have asked about TRANSITING RAHU KETU – but your question has taken me back to the actual BIRTH CYCLE – because this is how it happens – where KETU is there – RAHU comes and where RAHU is there KETU comes and this cycle goes on repeating like a WHEEL – until we become MINDFUL – it just goes on and on and on….

This cycle continues – this birth you have KETU in the 7th house – you are deprived of having good sexual pleasures from your legal partner – next birth – you will have RAHU in the 7th house and you will have your hands all over the places – you will be a man – blessed with all kind of sexual pleasures and then again next birth you are back to KETU in 7th!

This cycle continues – remember this – this is so deep that it is impossible to convey on this public platform – may be only a man like me must be doing this – after all only the insane can do what the others fear to do! The society calls such a man ‘insane’ but the society forgets the fact that it is only the insane who can HEAR that – which other’s can’t!

Always remember – only a man who is INSANE can truly experience GOD! Because he is out of his mind – and the divine can be felt – can be experienced only when you are in the state of NO MIND!

NO MIND – KETU. That’s KETU! In the coming month of September – a whole 550 pages brand new book of mine is releasing on Amazon worldwide – you all can read my heart that I poured for the LOVE that I have for KETU!

KETU is NO MIND – it is the state of DESIRELESSNESS. And when transiting RAHU comes – it simply AFLAME the matters of the house that KETU had otherwise curbed!

You may never have had any interest in watching TV, or MOVIE. You simply had absolutely NO interest in ROMANCE or ROMANTIC Novels or movies. But now on your NATAL 5th house KETU – RAHU is ARRIVING! Suddenly you start thinking about reading an entertainment magazine or a novel, you try out watching a movie, you think about going out on a ‘trip’ with family – you think about ‘learning’ something new. So you see – all the matters of 5th house that were curbed by KETU – are now made aflame by RAHU!

And on the spot opposite to 5th house – 11th – hmm, here KETU maharaj has arrived and so now the focus on networking, and engaging with groups, or focusing on profits and spending time with friends is CURBED – because there in the 5th RAHU is making you busy with your own indulgence with all kind of matters that the 5th house signify!

So you see – always remember that RAHU and KETU are NOT FRIENDS. Because they are ENERGIES that are totally CONTRAST in NATURE. One is a THUG and the other is a SADHU.

Now when THUG comes at SADHU’s house – he is going to spoil the matters of that house. And when SADHU comes at the THUG’s house – he is going to disrupt the matters of that house!

Now let me put it in this way – if you have problems from RAHU – then KETU’s transit over your NATAL RAHU – will result in CURBING those problems! So KETU transit over RAHU is GOOD from the spiritual perspective! Moreover a KETUISH man will appreciate this development (transit of KETU over NATAL RAHU).

But to a RAHUISH man – it means TROUBLE!

So you see – one has to first ‘SEE’ – whether the HOROSCOPE (NATIVE) is RAHUISH or KETUISH!

If he is KETUISH – his troubles of RAHU are now nullified (SHUNYA – KETU).

If he is RAHUISH – his troubles increase because RAHU is HIS MASTER – and who would LIKE ‘CENSOR’ on the master!

KETU is the ‘DISCIPLE’ of JUPITER.

RAHU is the ‘DISCIPLE’ of MERCURY.

Jupiter and Mercury are enemies meaning contrasting energies. Jupiter is Intelligent. Mercury is Intellectual.

Intellectualism is indeed a poor substitute for Intelligence!

Mercury is not a match for Jupiter.

Rahu is not a match for Ketu.

These are intense opposite energies – and so whenever they transit over each other – they make sure that the opposite party and the matters it signify is totally ‘damaged’ or ‘nullified’!

Mercury follows MOON (MIND) – and so the master of MERCURY is MOON!

Jupiter follows SUN (CONSCIOUSNESS) – and so the master of JUPITER is CONSCIOUSNESS!

The GURU -the benevolent MASTER is ‘CONSCIOUSNESS EVER FLOWING’!

This is what astrology is all about – everything is simple – until the human mind makes it complicated!

So you see – this is the while LINEAGE – divided in TWO GROUPS. Exactly the way this whole UNIVERSE has always been – filled with SUR (GOD) and ASUR (RAKSHASA)!

The LINEAGE of planets in ASTROLOGY is of TWO GROUPS. Intellectual (HEAD) & Intelligence (HEART).

The INTELLECTUAL LINEAGE (FAMILY) comprises of:

MOON (MIND)

MERCURY (INTELLECTUALISM)

VENUS (PLEASURE SEEKING- BHOGI)

RAHU (DESIRES that DRIVE THE MIND (MOON), MERCURY (INTELLECTUALISM) and VENUS (PLEASURE SEEKING)

The INTELLIGENT LINEAGE (FAMILY) comprises of:

SUN (CONSCIOUSNESS)

JUPITER (RIGHTEOUSNESS – Intelligence)

MARS (PURE ENERGY)

KETU (DESIRELESSNESS – SHUNYA that is DIRECTED by the SUN, JUPITER by utilizing the MARS energy to help the INDIVIDUAL attain MOKSHA or ENLIGHTENMENT)

This is how it all is and this is how what this is all about – SUR & ASURA!

Now ASURA or INTELLECTUAL men and women are depicted in the mythology as someone ugly looking but in reality the ASUR or the INTELLECTUAL BHOGI MEN AND WOMEN were AS BEAUTIFUL as the SUR (devtas)!

The sister of Ravana – Shurpanakha who falls in love with Laxman was not ugly as it shown in the mythology serials – in fact she was extremely beautiful – in fact I would go a step ahead and say that the DAITYA or the ASUR were handsome men and beautiful woman!

But then why are they shown as UGLY looking in the scriptures?

This UGLINESS is the UGLINESS of their INNER BEING! To convey this the most easiest way for the seers was to make them APPEAR as UGLY when in reality they were beautiful by appearance but for the common man to understand – the seers painted these ASURAS as ugly looking men and women.

The whole universe is divided into two parts – and you cannot say that EVIL is BAD or the NEGATIVE is BAD because you need to remember the fact that ELECTRICITY is generated only when the POSITIVE and NEGATIVE come together!

ASURA (RAHUISH MEN AND WOMEN) have also contributed to the GROWTH of this world. With their intellectualism they have invented many devices and technologies.

So they have also done many good things for the society. Ravan also did many great things for his kingdom. So the intellectual men and women have been doing a lot for this society – but they have their own limitations!

They can travel from A to Z – but then the doors close. Then they don’t know what to do? They have GAINED everything in LIFE – and they have been thinking all their life that all this POWER, this WEALTH, this PLEASURES is the ANSWER – until a day comes when they realize that – this is NOT the answer!

And when they self-realize that this is NOT the answer – they either end up with frustrations and depressions OR they start moving towards *that* which only KETU has – the other LINEAGE of PLANETS has – PEACE, WISDOM, LOVE JOY and BLISS!

On this other side of the fence – is our second lineage – the SUN, the JUPITER, the MARS, and Sri KETU!

Here on this side of the ‘world’ – you will find all kind of crazy insane men and women who simply FOLLOW their HEART! The world (read RAHUISH) calls them CRAZY but it is this CRAZINESS – it is this WILD imagination that enable them to MOVE BEYOND Z. They CAN move beyond Z because they listen to their heart – they follow their IMAGINATION!

IMAGINATION IS EVERYTHING – says Albert Einstein – one of the greatest scientist who indeed was also a spiritual being in his own capacity! So far I haven’t found any scientist who could match the genius of Albert Einstein – he was not intellectual, he was an intelligent scientist who through his own experiences had acknowledged the existence if supernatural forces that guide this human world and the universe at large.

So now that you all have understood the two lineage of planet family – when one member of the family goes to the house of the other family – you know he is not going to be comfortable – you know he is going to do something that is going to cause a ‘spin-off’ – meaning MANTHAN!

You all must have heard about the story of CHURNING THE OCEANS – both the SUR and the ASUR had agreed to CHURN the ocean to gain all those beautiful valuable things that were beneath the ocean!

This is exactly what happens when RAHU TRANSIT NATAL KETU and KETU TRANSIT NATAL RAHU – a great CHURNING (MANTHAN) is all set to happen – out of which you will learn many new things – you will evolve – for these are the ‘treasures’ that you will gain from the CHURNING that is going to happen in the coming 18 months starting from September 19, 2020.

But one must also remember that through this CHURNING – along with the many beautiful precious ‘treasures’ – a big pot of POISON – also welled up! So when you are going to experience this CHURNING for the coming 18 months – you also should keep yourself mentally prepared to face certain ‘difficulties’ that will also emerge from this transit of RAHU and KETU!

Life is indeed the ‘process’ of CHURNING – the ‘positive’ (Devta/SUR) within us and the ‘negative’ (DAITYA/ASURA) within us is always in the process of CHURNING – and in this CHURNING – we continue to get certain ‘good’ results and certain ‘bad results’!

But what makes you different from the rest – is your WILLINGNESS to ACCEPT the BAD RESULTS along with the GOOD RESULTS!

And that is being a SHIVA!

It was only SHIVA – LORD SHIVA who stepped ahead and ACCEPTED the BIG POT OF POISON and DRANK IT to SAVE the UNIVERSE! No other GOD or GODDESS could dare to drink the poison because it was too intense so much so that it would have killed all the living beings on our planet! As long as good things were happening – were being found – the DEVTAS and the ASURAS were happily collecting – but when POISON came – only SHIVA – was the ONE who ACCEPTED IT – that is the whole essence of SHIVA and that is the whole purpose of our life to attain the state of SHIVA – SHIVA is NOT a name just the way BUDDHA is also not a name – it is a state of enlightenment – it is a state in which GOOD and BAD – both dwells – that is why SHIVA is GHOR and AGHOR – both!

Shiva means good, auspicious, but all that can be called bad is also present in Shiva’s personality. What you call “bad” is also there. The meaning of the word Shiva is auspicious – but we call Shiva the God of Destruction. It is through him that the world will come to an end. This world is your MIND – because the world is nothing but the extension of your MIND. SHIVA is addressed as GOD OF DESTRUCTION because HE destroys all the ILLUSIONS and MAYA that engulfs you – HE simply HELP you to go beyond MIND – that is why SHIV SADHANA is the higher stage SADHANA – that requires deep penance and devotion.

It is only in India – that we have this beautiful GOD – LORD SHIVA who represents BOTH – RAHU and KETU. AGHOR and GHOR. INTELLECTUALISM and INTELLIGENCE!

That is the reason HE is addressed as the MAHADEV – DEVON KE DEV – LORD of LORDS – MAHADEV!

And so in this CHURNING period of 18 months – you worship LORD SHIVA – may HIS blessings guide you during these 18 months of RAHU KETU transit.

|| Aum Namaha Shivaya ||

I humbly prostrate before His Holiness Mahavdev Shiv Shankar.

With devotion and with LOVE – worship SHIVA – Lord of Lords, Lord Shiva!

For LOVE is the way – Rumi says “There are many ways to reach God – I choose LOVE.”

Love should be the Goal, the only Goal.
