Which Ayanamsha Is Best?

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Usually people believe that planets move to next house or bhava — only based on degrees and the Ascendant degree. Although this is true still the other factor that can move your planet from 1st house to second or twelfth house is the AYANAMSHA.

NOW your next question will be what is AYANAMSHA. In simple layman’s language — AYANAMSHA is the ruler through which you measure the placement of planets in your chart. Now you all would be surprised to know that in Vedic Astrology — there are over ONE DOZEN or more AYANAMSHA — in our language — RULERS!

As a child we all went to school and we always had carried one nice big Ruler in our school bag. The other ruler was always in the hand of the class teacher — to give us nice beating if we do any mischief!😄

But here in this classroom we have many rulers ( AYANAMSHAs) — the most famous ruler is the LAHIRI RULER ( LAHIRI AYANAMSHA).

Interestingly — nobody in India knew about LAHIRI AYANAMSHA until NEHRU GOVERNMENT discovered this AYANAMSHA and made it OFFICIAL for all Vedic Astrologers to follow this RULER — the LAHIRI AYANAMSHA! And whatsoever comes from the GOVERNMENT CORRIDORS is always a compromised outcome and NEVER the TRUTH!

This NEED to invent or give birth to an official UNIVERSAL AYANAMSHA arises because every province or territory within the INDIAN SUBCONTINENT was following their own AYANAMSHA ( Ruler) — and that created problem for the NEHRU Government. Because Maharashtra will celebrate Diwali on 1st November, Gujrat will celebrate on 5th November and Karnataka or Delhi will celebrate on some other date. And Government cannot give holidays to central government employees based on so many date variations. Government wanted one single date when the whole newly formed country called India will celebrate Diwali and that initiated the creation of a universal AYANAMSHA — the LAHIRI AYANAMSHA.

However — before LAHIRI AYANAMSHA which is primarily based on the calculations derived from the fixed star CHITRA — WITHIN INDIA OR IN THE PRE-indepenance era — the most popular AYANAMSHA — was based on the star REVATI and not CHITRA.

This most popular AYANAMSHA in PRE-indepenance era was known as SURYA SIDDHANTA REVATI AYANAMSHA. It is said the greatest freedom fighter and the man who met Sai Baba in person — LOKMANYA BAL GANGADHAR TILAK — his horoscope was also prepared using the then SURYA SIDDHANTA REVATI AYANAMSHA. Because that was the most popular AYANAMSHA just the way today LAHIRI AYANAMSHA is popular. It is said that LOKMANYA TILAK was also fondly addressed as TILAK MAHARAJ. Sai Baba loved him and he had presented his first hand written book on Bhagavad-gita to Sai Baba. The book that he rewrote in the dark cell of Mandalay Prison. Rewrote because the cruel british officers burned the whole book he wrote but he was a man of Awareness — his spirit was unbeatable — he stood up and said in Marathi “ PUNACHA SHRI GANESHAYA” meaning “Let’s restart again” — and then he again rewrote the whole book and send his first copy to Sai Baba and Sai Baba touched the book to his forehead. Great souls are always great — words cannot suffice. Language is really poor.

So along with the SURYA SIDDHANTA REVATI AYANAMSHA — in the PRE-indepenance India — there were many more AYANAMSHA across Indian subcontinent and elsewhere as well.

Generally — example – if your CANCER ASCENDANT is at the end degree — 28 or 29 degree then there is a high possibility that in LAHIRI — if it appears as CANCER ASCENDANT then in RAMAN AYANAMSHA or YUKTESHWAR AYANAMSHA it will appear as LEO AYANAMSHA. Similarly example – if your SUN 🌞 is placed in 28 or 29 degree in LIBRA then in RAMANA or YUKTESHWAR AYANAMSHA — you will find your SUN 🌞 placed in the sign of 🦂 SCORPIO.

So it is not just degree of Ascendant that can move your planet to next bhav in CHALIT KUNDALI but also the AYANAMSHA. As mentioned AYANAMSHA is a RULER that has its own set of measurements. It all depends on which RULER you use to measure your Birth Chart.

So far there has been NO CONSENSUS on any one RULER ( AYANAMSHA) — and there will be never as well. Simply because the level of evolution — the level of every human being varies based on HIS or HER level of AWARENESS/CONSCIOUSNESS. Human beings are NOT products that you can measure all of them with just one Ruler — every human being is unique and so application of the suitable AYANAMSHA should be based on his or her actual life events which can be tracked with the MAHADASHA periods. We all should remember that no AYANAMSHA AND no person either is superior or inferior but unique.

Nobody Is Superior, Nobody Is Inferior, But Nobody Is Equal Either. People Are Simply Unique, Incomparable. You Are You, I Am I. – Osho

And so that brings us to the conclusion that it is possible that your BIRTH TIME AND BIRTH PLACE AND BIRTH DATE may be CORRECT but your horoscope may be INCORRECT because the AYANAMSHA ( Ruler) that is applied may not match the actual events of your life!

Now people try all kind of calculations just because they want to prove that the Ruler they are using is correct. This is more about their EGO than the reality of life! And EGO makes one blind.

Whenever you apply any AYANAMSHA — the TRUTH should be accessible easily — meaning you don’t have to dig much. Because Truth is simple. God is simple. Love is simple.

So whenever you use a certain AYANAMSHA — see if Truth is easily derived by applying simple Astrology methods and observations.

Lastly never be RIGID in using only one specific AYANAMSHA. Sometimes God wants different Rulers to be applied for certain individuals. You just have to see first — which RULER suits the individual in question and then proceed with your observations.

“ OBSERVATION WITHOUT EVALUATION IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF INTELLIGENCE.” – JIDDU KRISHNAMURTI

Sticking to one specific AYANAMSHA is not a good idea. Intelligence is never limited to four walls. It always exists beyond the four walls! It always continue to EXPERIMENT through one’s own self experience.

Truth is not something outside to be discovered, it is something inside to be realized. – Osho

Rather than focusing on who and how many are voting for a certain AYANAMSHA — focus on your self experience.

And so instead of saying that this AYANAMSHA is perfect or good — I would share the AYANAMSHA that worked often than the rest:

KP AYANAMSHA ( useful ONLY when you apply KP ASTROLOGY methods)
BV RAMAN AYANAMSHA
FAGAN BRADLEY AYANAMSHA ( used by many Western Astrologers following the Vedic Jyotish)
YUKTESHWAR AYANAMSHA ( close to RAMANA AYANAMSHA) ( popular in the Western countries where Vedic Jyotish is followed)

So see you asked about planet moving to other cusp or bhava and so much you have learned and my followers. I never plan to answer any question — it is always spontaneous!

One has to be spontaneous. One has to live moment to moment, neither thinking of the past, nor thinking of the future, nor clinging to the present. – Osho

Heart ❤️ is always spontaneous. Love is always spontaneous. And God is also spontaneous — spontenousness is of the ❤️ heart and Intelligence comes from the heart while intellect comes from the head. And intellect is indeed a poor substitute to Intelligence.

Intellectuality is mechanical. The intellect is absolutely bankrupt. It has nothing of its own, all is borrowed. And that’s the difference between intelligence and intellect. Intelligence has an eyesight of its own, a capacity to see into things, into problems. Intelligence is your born quality. – Osho

So always listen to your heart. The ❤️ heart is always right. Intelligence is intellect in tune with your ❤️ heart.

Never be quick to judge anyone or anything — because judging is of the Mind and the Mind is a Monkey — Mind has absolutely no truth — Mind is many illusions that it makes you believe that it is True — that is how quarrels happen between couples — mistrust, doubts, assumptions, indecisiveness, anger, lust, greed, and SEX — it is all related to the Mind. Remove the Mind — and you will not have any sexual urge, you will not have any anger, you will not have any thoughts. The state of NO MIND is the state of BUDDHA. Someday you all should read my book “ No Mind — the Journey Beyond”.

In the affairs of human world since the MIND ( Moon) plays a vital role — a significant role, it is natural that the MOON SIGN, the MOON CHART, the MOON Nakshatra becomes crucial in matters of human life.

SUDARSHAN CHAKRA therefore consists of all three charts — the outer ring — Sun Chart, the middle ring — Moon Chart and the innermost ring — the Ascendant Chart. Soul, Mind, Body — that is what the SUDARSHAN CHAKRA is all about..And one who has master all these three — who has become one with the supreme soul consciousness is KRISHNA, Lord Krishna! That is how the SUDARSHAN CHAKRA is related with Lord Krishna. Deep and so true.

Enough for today. You all remember to meditate every day. Chant the name of the Lord. Nanak Baba, Buddha, Mahavira and all the great masters have simply given the most significant key to human beings for their spiritual progress — the Naam — chanting!

But who wants to listen? People are just running all over. But those who have listened — those who have started chanting the name of the Lord have found that which others haven’t — bliss.

Meditate. And I send love to all my close followers and readers. Stay blessed and remember You are not here by accident — the existence has a purpose to met through YOU. So value yourself and stay optimistic, positive.

Be kind whenever possible, it is always* possible.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru 🙏.

Venus Mahadasha for Pisces Ascendant

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

There is NO such thing as Bad or Good Venus or for matter NO planet is Bad. Every planet has a message — a mission to improve you — to awake you. If you remain positive then even a suffering can become a blessing in disguise! For Pisces Ascendant — Venus is NOT harmful. All you need is to RESPECT the WOMEN and if possible fast on Fridays and worship Goddess Lakshmi with Faith and Devotion.

Always remember — every person who comes in our life has a ROLE to play — and the ROLE may be whatever — it cannot affect you as long as you remain faithful, as long as you keep walking on the path of Love ❤️.

On the path of Love we are neither masters nor the owners of our lives. We are only a brush in the hand of the Master Painter. – Rumi

For Pisces Ascendant — Venus Mahadasha is a wonderful period of transformation. A great adventures await you. Interestingly many are not aware of the fact that the word ROMANCE is defined as Adventure in the English dictionary. This is the time when you can take Risks and only a man who can take Risk can attain that which others cannot!

If you are not willing to risk the unusual, you will have to settle for the ordinary. – Jim Rohn

Those who continue to live in COMFORT ZONES — never GROW in the true sense. Because Real Growth is the GROWTH WITHIN.

Once Buddha asked a very old man “ What is your Age?”

And the old man said “ I am four years old.”

The Emperor was seated at the feet of Buddha. He heard this answer and he was shocked. When the old man left — he asked Buddha “ What kind of answer was that? That man must be beyond 80 years and yet he said he was only 4 years old. Please help me understand O Master…”

Buddha said “ I asked him purposely. Because you have been asking all kind of stupid questions for last many hours so I thought why not give you the real thing.”

A real Master is a LION 🦁 and not a Cat! Who would dare to speak with an Emperor in such a way but the Master is Real and Real never Fears!

The Emperor touched the feet of then master and said “ Please explain…”

Buddha said “ The real Age is when you start turning inwards. When you start meditating. When your spiritual journey begins. When the old man said ‘ I am 4 years old’ — he meant that his spiritual journey has began just 4 years ago. NOW you tell me what is your Age?”

And the Emperor started crying. He had no answer because he had not yet started on his spiritual quest — his spiritual journey — he never had looked within!

And this is the whole essence of life my fellows. Instead of what the Puranas and Upanishads are saying — the master is more interested to know WHAT YOU ARE SAYING BASED ON YOUR OWN EXPERIENCE. YOUR OWN INSIGHTS. YOUR OWN SELF REALIZATION.

But this is a strange world — people will believe the Upanishads whose authenticity is a matter of question considering so many destructions caused by foreign invasions.

But if a spiritual master mentions something then shallow people will doubt — a living human being who has attained enlightenment is saying something and people will not believe. They will continue to believe in scriptures. This is not new — it has happened with every Messiah — be it Jesus, Buddha, Mahavira or Sai Baba!

You will fear Venus only if you are afraid of taking risks — of using this wonderful period of Venus Mahadasha in experiencing self transformation.

Just for my close followers — I want to reveal the fact that people will talk a lot about Spirituality — but if you ask them to JUMP first and think later — then out of 100 only 1 will step ahead and JUMP into the unknown — and it is only those who JUMP can experience the Beyond — the Godly — the Divine.

They say: “Think twice before you jump.” I say: “Jump first and then think as much as you want! – Osho

The Mahadasha of 8th house lord and 3rd house lord (Pisces Ascendant) is all about adventures, romance, risks and enjoying this wonderful journey called LIFE.

People are more interested about life after death. When in reality you should be living your life fullest before death.

The Real Question is not whether life exist after death. The Real Question is whether you are ALIVE before Death. – Osho

It is only when you take Risks — it is only when you become Adventurous — it is only when you follow your ❤️ heart — that Transformation happens! 8th house and 8th house lord is all about transformation — inner transformation.

The great solution to all human problems is individual inner transformation. – Vernon Howard

The real Juice is only to be found in the deep valleys of the 8th and 12th house! And it is through these deep valleys that great mountains ( persons) have evolved. Some of the finest human beings have had major planets in the 8th and 12th house!

But people are shallow. They fear the 8th and 12th just the way the forest animals fear the LION 🦁 and the 🐅 TIGER!

8TH and 12TH is where the greatest spiritual beings dwell — they cannot remain trapped in those typical goody goody four walls of safe houses in the chart — they are the Lions — they live FREE, they dance, they celebrate life — their roar is indeed the roar of Freedom!

The greatest fear in the world is of the opinions of others. And the moment you are unafraid of the crowd you are no longer a sheep, you become a lion. A great roar arises in your heart, the roar of freedom. – Osho

Interestingly those who are Lions — who love FREEDOM are naturally drawn towards me because the Lion will come only to a Lion. Reminds me of a story…

There was a lion cub. And he got lost in the woods. A flock of sheep raised him. And he started moving around with the flock of sheep. One day a very old Lion was passing by and he saw that a young Lion was moving around with a flock of 🐑 sheep!!!

The old Lion roared and the sheep started running all over — the young Lion also started running, escaping!

You see — living with sheep the young Lion also started believing that he too is a sheep! This is how life is — when you are in company of sheep you forget your real identity — that you also are a 🦁 LION!

And so the old Lion caught the young Lion and took him to the cave. The young Lion continued to cry like a sheep! Then the old Lion took him to the river. In the that river water — the young Lion for the First Time — saw his Real Self — he also saw the reflection of the Old Lion in the river water and he realized that he *is* a LION. And then he Roared for the first time. The entire forest shivered — they realized that the LION has ARRIVED!

AND this is how God is — my fellows. This is how the Master is. This is how Buddha is. This is how Jesus is. This is how Mahavira is. They are like that OLD LION who help us all realize that we are NOT a sheep but a 🦁 LION!

A Lion never Fears the dangers and risks and adventures of life. Similarly I appeal to all my close followers and readers that do not fear the 8th and 12th. Remember — you are a 🦁 LION

Love to all my readers and followers. Stay blessed and focus on NOT what the scriptures say but what your experience says — what your Self says. For that is the real sign of Intelligence — divine intelligence.

The intelligent person depends on his own insight; he trusts his own being. He loves and respects himself. – Osho

Your own self experience, you own self inquiry is the greatest service you can render to this human world. The real journey of life begins only when you start asking yourself – that one significant question— “Who Am I?”

Meditate. Love and Let Go.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Is KP Better Than Vedic?

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Father or son? Vedic Astrology is the father of all Astrology. Meaning it is the main source. Through this source — genius Astrologers like Krishnamurti discovered new ways — more effective ways of studying a birth chart to which the world recognizes as KP Astrology. Just like KP Astrology — there are many flavors of Astrology. And everybody has a particular liking towards a certain flavor!

Not everyone likes all our flavors, but each flavor is someone’s favorite. – Gru Robbins

It is said that the son can do well than his father. But finally — a father is the father! Through him — you have taken this physical form. The egg comes from the mother but it gets fertilized only when the father provides the SPERM! That is why the father’s side family becomes more significant than the mother’s side.

Vedic Astrology has provided the SPERM — the very essence through which many forms of Astrology has evolved across this human world.

One must remember that the son can always bring new modern ways which a wise father always accepts and adores! Similarly the true seers who practice Vedic Astrology — admire the new concepts and techniques that the new generation brings along — example KP Astrology.

After all Astrology — the sacred science that came into light by the divine will of Lord Shiva — is for the well being of human life in general. Or to put it in more specific words — Astrology is the only science that has the capacity to bring AWARENESS, Consciousness to the native — it is Jyot — light of the soul (ish) — Jyotish.

Nobody — at least a man of Awareness can say that the Son has done better than his Father. A son simply takes ahead what the father has established!

Similarly KP Astrology has simply enhanced the way of studying Astrology but that doesn’t belittle the father. The father remain the father — the ancient, the respected, the divine.

I prostrate before this benevolent ancient father — Vedic Jyotish or rather Sanatan Jyotish — for millions of years it is the Vedic Jyotish that has shown the way to many souls who had lost their way — the contribution of Vedic Astrology to this human world is beyond the power of expression. Words cannot suffice. A true seeker never compares but always perceives every form of Astrology as divine — comparing is of the mind and the mind is a monkey. Astrology can be known only to a man who follows his ❤️ heart — one who listens to the voice within.

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Who Are Shani Atmakaraka People?

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

There is one beautiful old Hindi song, it goes like this:

“oh re taal mile nadii ke jal me.

nadii mile saagar me.

saagar mile kaun se jal me.

koi jaane naa…”

The song lyric is insightful. It says — “the lake water merges with the river. The river water merges with the ocean water…however with whom does the ocean water merges nobody knows….”

Similar is the state of Atma (Soul). The true SWAROOP of Atma is as vast and deep as the OCEAN.

And just the way the source is the Ocean in which all the waters of this planet merge — similarly the source of the ATMAKARAK PLANET is in the NAKSHATRA in which it falls and further the NAKSHATRA LORD’s strength and placement!

So on the circumference — Atmakarak Planet has absolutely no power however it is the Nakshatra and it’s Lord that has all the control or rather the final say in the matters of life.

So whether your ATMAKARAK is SATURN OR JUPITER OR MARS OR VENUS OR MERCURY OR MOON OR SUN — it doesn’t matter much. What matters is the NAKSHATRA in which Saturn as Atmakarak falls in.

Even if your ATMAKARAK SUN is debilitated in LIBRA or ATMAKARAK MOON is debilitated in SCORPIO or VENUS ATMAKARAK IS debilitated in VIRGO or MERCURY ATMAKARAK is debilitated in PISCES — still that doesn’t mean that you have a weak Atmakarak simply because it is the Nakshatra in which your ATMAKARAK is placed that matters above all.

If Atmakarak Saturn is in Ketu’s Nakshatra — the native is likely to have strong inclination towards spirituality. If Atmakarak Sun is in Jupiter’s Nakshatra then the person is mostly found to be pious and religious by nature. A God Loving person.

So it is the Nakshatra — the seed in which your ATMAKARAK PLANET is placed is what matters and the state of its Lord and it’s placement.

Many times a disciple thinks that the master has given him all the secrets. Ananda also had the same feeling. Then one day when there was nobody around Buddha — Ananda asked “ Master have you shared everything with me or there is something left…”

Buddha smiled. Ananda was his elder cousin brother. But he became a disciple of Buddha. He had always been more like an elder brother — the subtle ego that ‘ ’I am the elder brother of Buddha’ always remained — until Buddha died. Looking at Ananda — Buddha said “ Do you see this leaf in my hand and do you see the millions of leaves in the forest?”

Ananda said “ Yes I see that you have just one leaf in your hand while there are so many leaves in this forest.”

Buddha said “ I have shared only this one leaf with you — whereas there are millions of ‘leaf’ to be shared”

Ananda fell at Buddha’s feet. He started crying….he was a very emotional man, sensitive. He said “ Master — for centuries to come there will nobody of your caliber. I am truly blessed to be in your omnipresence.”

Astrology is just that one leaf in Buddha’s hand. Whereas beyond Astrology – there are millions and millions of ‘leaves’ (secrets) that are yet to be shared – but only with those who have a certain depth of understanding!

The MASTER is the OCEAN of WISDOM. And this is the whole essence of all. You think that the Master has shared all the ‘leaves’ (secrets) of the forest while only a few are kept as secret. The reality is – just a few ‘leaves’ are shared with you – whereas there are millions and millions of secrets (leaves) of the whole forest (universe) that is still to be shared – only when YOU are Ready.

“Last forty years -what I have shared is just one leaf – the whole forest is filled with leaves and those are yet to be shared, yet to be revealed.”
-Buddha

On a very practical ground – ATMAKARAKA is all about the WILLPOWER!

In Hindi there is a beautiful word – ATMABAL (आत्मबल) – meaning SELF-POWER!

SOUL is SELF. And the SELF is the GURU – says one of the greatest divine master and whom I love the most – BHAGAVAN RAMANA MAHARSHI!

“Guru, God and Self are One.”- Ramana Maharshi

Who is the SELF – It is your CONSCIOUSNESS.
Who is GOD – It is the ultimate universal CONSCIOUSNESS.
WHo is GURU – It is the CONSCIOUSNESS that has become ONE with the universal CONSCIOUSNESS *GOD*!

GURU. GOD. SELF – are ONE! So beautiful, so deep and so enlightening.

And so ATMAKARAKA simply signify your SELF-POWER. There are many men and women who have fallen in deep miseries of life and yet because of their SELF-POWER (ATMABAL) they were able to RISE and to much greater heights!

“What defines us is how well we rise after falling.”

There are people who make fun of those who in the PAST – were drunkards, running behind sex – but now have transformed into something so beautiful. The most popular saying is “ After doing everything under the sky – now he has remembered GOD.”

The irony is that – yes after doing everything under the sky – this man has remembered GOD but what about those who haven’t but are just happy in criticizing him – offending him – ridiculing him – what about these men and women – they REMAIN WHERE THEY ARE – whereas such a man who has remembered GOD – who has decided to transform within – who is taking efforts to overcome his weakness – such a man someday becomes SAINT PAUL – someday becomes SAINT VALMIKI – these men were the most materialistic men – most dreadful men and yet a time came in their life when they became great SAINTS – so great that the world have ever known!

That is why I always say – that only that man and that woman can rise and touch the sky who have done everything under the sky – and SELF-REALIZED the futility of all – such a man – such a woman can and does progress on the spiritual path – because they have three most beautiful qualities within them – INTENSITY & UNWAVERING FAITH & PATIENCE.

Millions and millions of people are living around this VAST HUMAN WORLD – all they need is the SELF-POWER – but the matter of fact is that 90% of this human population lacks the SELF-POWER – they need someone to help them realize their SELF-POWER. This SELF-POWER is what ATMAKARAKA is all about.

But people are shallow – so then they start giving many flavors and illusions and stories to this ATMAKARAKA planet – the MONKEY MIND is always in love with creating as many fancies and illusions around a given topic!

While the TRUTH is something else. The TRUTH is simple. In fact the most beautiful things in life are SIMPLE. Love is SIMPLE. HEART is SIMPLE. GOD is SIMPLE.

SIMPLE IS BEAUTIFUL

There is beauty in SIMPLICITY. It is said that Jesus was simple. Very simple. The Roman put Him in prison. Even today if you all visit Jerusalem – you will find the prison in which Jesus was kept along with other prisoners! Today that prison has become a sacred place! Imagine what the prisoners who were kept with Jesus – would ever have had imagined that this simple man whom the people call Isa (Jesus) and the place where he was imprisoner would become so sacred and divine for almost half the population of today’s human world!

But Jesus was simple – when Pontus Pilate asked him “What is the TRUTH” – Jesus didn’t answer. He remained SILENT. It was the Buddhist SILENCE.

Truth need to be shared with only those who can understand – who are willing to understand.

Astrology is also simple – but people are many and they find great ‘stimulation’ in making things complicated. The more you are driven by your mind – the more you would find great amusement in complicating the matters of your life.

Yesterday – someone said “My father is making my life hell.” I said “Then leave him – let him live his life and you live yours.”

But do you think he will listen – He will not because people are attached – and it is this attachment that eventually goes on making your life a HELL – a sea of MISERY.

“Attachment is the source of all Suffering.”

The root of suffering is ATTACHMENT.

People continue to live in FAILED MARRIAGE – because they are afraid of the SOCIETY – what will the society say? And so for false PRIDE – they continue to live in a miserable life – a failed life!

Emotions are good – but they should be purified. And as long as you live in this human world – you need to show emotional intelligence.

“Emotional intelligence is your ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others, and your ability to use this awareness to manage your behavior and relationships.”
-Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves

Whether it is your FATHER or MOTHER or WIFE or HUSBAND – if living separately can bring peace to you and them – then don’t hesitate to step out in the wild and live your life.

The whole message to all my followers and readers is simple – don’t be an EMOTIONAL FOOL. Instead be EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENT person.

But people are shallow – they remain attached to their old friend – the misery!

“YOU DON’T WANT TO LOSE YOUR OLD FRIEND – THE MISERY – YOU HAVE INVESTED TOO MUCH INTO FALSE – HENCE THE FEAR TO BE EXPOSED TO BE TRUE – TO BE NAKED AS YOU ARE.”

In life many times you have to make some HARD DECISIONS – and if you can’t make those decisions then you remain stuck in the many miseries of your life.

In reality – there is no such thing as my SHANI is ATMAKARAKA or my SUN is ATMAKARAKA etc. But Astrology has become a great money churning business – some entertainment need to be there – and there can be no actors as great as the 9 planets in Astrology! So people make many stories around ATMAKARAKA – as long as there are takers – who cares about TRUTH!

But since you have asked – it is necessary to remember that it is not the ATMAKARAKA planet that matters – it is the NAKSHATRA in which the ATMAKARAKA is placed is what matters. It is basically just to ‘’measure’’ the SELF-POWER of the native – how strong he or she is from within – how much depth of understanding he or she has – how much intensity he or she has – so it has more to do with the STRENGTH – in fact Jaimini Sutras are primarily based on finding the CHARACTER and STRENGTH of each KARAKA – it doesn’t matter what planet is KARAKA – what matter is – the state, the strength of that KARAKA – then whether it is ATMAKARAKA or DARAKARAKA or other KARAKAs that are mentioned in the Jaimini Sutras.

Astrology is a very deep subject and in the ancient days it was practiced only by the Brahmins. And these were pious Brahmins who were deeply engrossed on the spiritual path. Astrology was just a small part of their vast knowledge and wisdom. Now don’t be quick to judge my sentence – because when I say BRAHMIN – it has nothing to do with CASTE – it has more to do with the STATE OF BEING. Because during the old ancient days – a person was addressed as BRAHMIN based on his in born QUALITIES and NOT based on the family in which he is born! During the ancient days – it was the GURU (the master) who would decide whether the young boy who has come to Him for learning – is a BRAHMIN, KSHATRIYA, VAISHYA or SHUDRA – totally based on HIS SELF-QUALITIES – GUNA! And all the four VARNAs were equally treated with love and humanity.

But then time flew by – and then there was nobody of the caliber of such great GURUs and then slowly the society started deciding the VARNA or CASTE based on the family in which the native is born!

TRUTH is hard. Many may not like. But then have I ever shared anything for LIKES? Never. Because likes is also of the mind – that is why people are quick to say “I like you” – but hesitate to say “I love you”! Because LOVE is DANGEROUS. 😊

“Love is a dangerous path and only those who have courage can travel it.
And I say to you it is the same, just like meditation-only for those who are courageous.
And there are only two ways to reach the divine: either meditation or love.
Find out which is your way, which can be your destiny.”
-OSHO

Only a man who has loved – only a woman who has loved – can someday also fall in love with GOD! And then there is no looking back – the road is clear and you are ready to walk….

Love to all my readers and followers – stay blessed and remember – to enhance the quality of your ATMA (Soul) and ATMA-KARAKA (Soul-Self-signifying planet) — the only way is to start meditating, start chanting the name of the lord. Doesn’t matter whose name you chant – as long as you chant with love, with faith, with devotion!

“What cannot be achieved through the performance of Vedic rituals can be easily achieved through the chanting of the Lord’s holy name.”
– Srimad-Bhagavatam, Srila Prabhupada

Yoga Sana is for your physical wellbeing. Chanting is for your soul’s well-being. Through chanting you can bring the monkey mind under control. Instead of thinking too much about what my ATMAKARAKA planet means – how beautiful it will be if you all start focusing on strengthening your ATMA (Soul)!

But who wants to listen? Those few who have listened have started experiencing that which others haven’t – Bliss!

Enough for today. Meditate everyday and when you meditate – focus on the chanting – focus on bringing the monkey mind to the NOW moment – the PRESENT moment. Your meditation succeeds the moment you are able to BE HERE NOW – and that is whole beauty – my fellows – that is the whole beauty – to BE HERE NOW.

Love to all. Stay blessed.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Moon in 8th: What to Do?

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

All you should do is to ACCEPT the fact that your moon (MIND) is in the 8th house! ACCEPTANCE is the key. What is wrong about having moon in the 8th house? It is a wonderful position. It brings a certain depth of understanding to the native. It brings a certain experience of the unseen, the unknown, the beyond! 8th house moon if is NOT afflicted then it is a wonderful sign of spiritual progress. Osho Rajneesh had his MOON in the 8th house. My father (a famous journalist, novelist of his times) also had his Moon in the 8th house. My father had a very close contact with Osho. He had stayed with Osho for a couple of days. So there is NOTHING wrong about having MOON in the 8th house!

8th house is the very root of human life. The more the root goes deep – the more the tree grows on the outside!

You see – that is how it is. When your understanding grows, when your maturity reaches a certain depth – only then you truly grow as a person! Without a significant 8th house – only shallow men and shallow women are born. They just remain on the circumference – an ordinary life that has no substance – they will earn a few million dollars, drive a few luxury cars and then finally die like a beggar!

“There are only two types of people in the world: the beggars & the emperors. Those who live in desires are beggars; those who live in completion of silence, peace & love are the emperors.” – OSHO

Those who have absolutely NO significant 8th house – belong to the class of beggars who drive Mercedes and live in palaces but in the Kingdom of God are nothing less then BEGGARS.

And then there are a few – Baba Nanak, Jesus, Buddha, Mahavira, and many more enlightened beings who had absolutely NO BANK BALANCE and yet they were the greatest EMPERORS that the world had ever known!

I love those who have a strong 8th house connection – then even if such a man – such a woman is lost – is misguided – is exploited – STILL some day they RISE – they TRANSFORM – the become the BUDDHA!

Always remember – BUDDHA is NOT a name. It is a Title. It is a STATE OF BEING. And in this VAST HUMAN WORLD – there is always someone out there who has become a BUDDHA and there will be many who someday will become the BUDDHA!

“There have been many Buddhas before me and will be many Buddhas in the future.”
-Gautama Buddha

Transformation is the essence of 8th house. Freedom from bondage is the essence of 8th house. Learning the secrets of the underworld is the essence of 8th house. Attaining certain Siddhis is the essence of 8th house. Realizing the SELF is possible only through the depth of 8th house.

Without PAIN there is NO GAIN. So 8th house definitely brings pain in life but you all must remember that deepest valley exists only where the highest mountain exists!

“The higher the peak is, the deeper the valley will be. Near Everest, the deepest valley exists — it can only exist there”…..OSHO

Shallow people think of deep valleys – Wise people think about the peak of the mountain. Perspective matters – 8th house native is willing to dive – wiling to RISK everything to experience the peak of the mountain – he is aware that from the TOP the view is always beautiful. Wisdom itself has a strong connection with the 8th house – and nobody will tell you this my fellows – nobody – because to know the truth – you need to experience it – you need to be courageous!

Any planet in the 8th house, or any direct aspects to the 8th house or Ascendant lord in the 8th house – is a simple sign that the native has a certain depth of understanding – he or she is NOT shallow but a person who is going to go through certain transformations – which eventually will lead him or her to the ultimate TRUTH. The God Consciousness!

It is indeed a fact that most of them who are drawn towards me – have always had a significant 8th house placements! It always happens – you are drawn exactly towards that which also exists within YOU! The world is a all about vibrations. Partners fall apart – relationships break when your VIBRATIONS no more MATCH with the vibrations of your partner!

Yesterday Mohan said “I am shocked – my friend had a break-up – his girlfriend said “You are no more HOT” – “

I laughed loudly. Mohan said “Why you laughed – you laugh at strange moments.”

I said “Mohan – that was going to happen. Your friend was moving ahead – he had taken to meditation – he was raising the level of his vibrations – he was evolving whereas his girlfriend never took to meditation. She remained where she was – while you friend progressed in the true sense. When you move to 10th Grade and your friend remains in 1st Grade – you tell me – how can they CONNECT??”

Mohan smiled and said “I understand now. But why she says that HE is NO MORE HOT.”

I said “Because at the ordinary level LOVE is meant to be HOT. Even when people eat dog – they want HOT DOG. So what to say about LOVE! But as you grow – as you move to the higher realms of consciousness – your LOVE is no more that of HITLERs – your love is the love of BUDDHA – it is pure love – there is no sexuality in it. And Buddha’s love is always COOL – it cannot be HOT.”

And that is the whole essence of the 8th house – those who have been used to HOT LOVE – and HOT GIRL and HOT SEX – will never understand the LOVE of BUDDHA. Similarly shallow men and shallow women will NEVER understand the significance of the 8th house.

To realize the significance of the 8th house – you need to have a strong connection with the 8th house in your chart – only then can you understand the language of Buddha – only then can you understand the language of SILENCE.

“Silence is the Way
Life is such an eternal miracle, and it opens its doors only to the magic of silence. Whoever has understood silence has known the science, the magic, the art, the knack of entering into reality as if it is your own home. Infact it is. Questions and answers will keep you outside the temple and will never allow you to enter the temple. Leave questions and answers where people leave their shoes, and enter into the silence of the temple. Silence is the way.”
-OSHO

This SILENCE is only to be found in the abode of the 8th house. Meditation happens here. Real communication happens in SILENCE – it happens only through the 8th house.

Love to all my readers. Stay blessed and remember to meditate every day.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Significance of Black Color Astrologically

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Yesterday Mohan was upset. I asked “What happened Mohan – you are always smiling, happy – but today you look upset. What is the problem? Tell me and I will solve it.”

Mohan stood up quickly, looked down at his Laptop and said “Look – I just bought this Dell Laptop one year ago and it is so slow – the processer is so slow – no matter how much RAM I add – it is always going to be slow. I don’t know what to do with this dumb laptop.”

This is how human life is. If the brain (processer) is not fast – no matter how much brain tonic capsules you take – the speed of the brain will remain the same!

Mohan said “What can be the problem – why this happened with me?”

I closely looked at his laptop. That was his favorite toy – nowadays everybody is moving around with this toy called laptop. I said to him “DELL is a wonderful company. The problem is not with DELL. You have bought a good brand. The problem is the color of your laptop”

Mohan said “It is so sweet color – looks so elegant – so nice. ”

I said “You are admiring the culprit. You should NEVER buy any electronic product or automobile having SILVER color. Now this silver color laptop has gone for a toss. You are at loss!”

Mohan realized his mistake. Never in his life he would now buy a silver color product.

SILVER is the color of MOON. MOON is SILVER – my fellows – MOON is NOT white! And even SILVER MOON is not left from EVIL EYE – even MOON has to face the wrath of Eclipse – CHANDRA GRAHAN – LUNAR ECLIPSE! And look what a coincidence it is – because right now as I am writing on the color shade SILVER – the LUNAR ECLIPSE is going on……

SILVER is very vulnerable color. Unless you have a very strong MOON placed with absolutely NO affliction or negative aspect to your MOON in the chart – you should resist from using any SILVER COLOR PRODUCT. Such a person should never buy car, mobile, or laptop, desktop PC having SILVER color.

SILVER is SENSITIVE shade. However the most PROTECTIVE SHADE is indeed the SHADE OF BLACK!

Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy – but mysterious. But above all black says this: ‘I don’t bother you – don’t bother me. – Yohji Yamamoto

That is the attitude of BLACK – “Don’t bother Me and I don’t bother you.” That is why to keep away the evil eye – BLACK COLOR is used. Black thread. Black kajal (COLLYRIUM) is also BLACK. BLACK DOLL.

But what is so special in BLACK? Black is the only color which precisely is a NO COLOR. Because BLACK ABSORBS all the RAYS. GOOD or BAD – BLACK ABSORBS IT. That is why if you wear a BLACK SHIRT and stand before the SUN – you will start feeling very hot. Because BLACK absorbs all the sun rays. However when you wear WHITE SHIRT – WHITE REFLECTS BACK ALL THE RAYS – and so when you wear white shirt and stand before the SUN – you don’t become hot – you remain cool.

So you see – that is how BLACK and WHITE is. BLACK ABSORBS. WHITE REFLECTS.

Now the reason BLACK is found suitable to ward off the evil eye – because the evil eye rays are ABSORBED by the BLACK thread that you wear on your right hand wrist!

Similarly the BLACK thread that you wear around your neck – also absorbs the negative rays cast by an an evil eye. The whole essence of the matter is – that when some negative person in your life looks at you with jealousy – with anger then all those negative rays that are passed from his or her eyes – those rays don’t affect your physical body but are ABSORBED by the BLACK THREAD you are wearing on your body!

When you mix all the colors – you get the color WHITE. So WHITE is – all colors. While BLACK is – NO COLORS! That is why WHITE is NOT invisible. BLACK is invisible.

When you absorb all the sun rays – there is darkness and you don’t see the BLACK at all. There is NO LIGHT!

A person can become invisible by understanding of a certain law. What is the law?

The scientists have discovered the law and it is simple. If you are seeing me, you are seeing me only because the sun rays fall on me and then they move, reflect from me. Those sun rays falling on your eyes, that’s why you are seeing me. If there is some, if I can ABSORB the sun rays and they don’t reflect – then you will not be able to see me. You can see me only if the sun rays come to me. If there is darkness – total BLACK OUT and there are no sun rays coming, you cannot see me. But if I can ABSORB all the sun rays and nothing is reflected back, you will not be able to see me. You will see only a dark patch.

That is how PATNAJALI had mentioned that certain YOGIs had the power to become invisible.

PATANJALI mentions the process of becoming invisible in very simply way:

By performing samayama on the form of the body to suspend receptive power, the contact between the eye of an observer and the light from the body is broken, and the body becomes invisible.

So you see – BLACK has immense ABSORBING power.

And so today – on the day of Lunar Eclipse – for the larger interest of all my close followers and readers – I am going to share with you all – one wonderful BLACK GEMSTONE.

It is called – SULEMANI BLACK HAKIK. In the West – it is called – BLACK AGATE. The best quality BLACK AGATE is found in IRAN.

This is a wonderful stone if you are suffering from EVIL EYE – or from – BLACK MAGIC SPELLS. By wearing this wonderful gift of the nature – SULEMANI BLACK HAKIK – you can overcome the many ill effects of RAHU and SHANI (Saturn).

On any given Saturday – you can wear this beautiful gemstone in your right hand middle finger.

If you are going through RAHU MAHADASHA, if you are going through RAHU KETU ANTARDASHA, if you are constantly under the fear of GHOSTS and BLACK MAGIC SPELLS – then my fellows – you can definitely try out this wonderful magical stone – the stone that protects you from the EVIL EYE – NAZAR.

Although AGATE (HAKIK) comes in various colors – for overcoming negative spells and ghosts – the BLACK AGATE is the best.

SULEMAN is the ARABIC version for SOLOMON – the King who was famous for his wisdom and piousness.

So you see – AGATE is considered as pious and stone of wisdom that protects you from your enemies. However ONLY that man and ONLY that woman should wear this wonderful gemstone – who is also pious and truthful by nature.

If you are a cheater, if you are a fraud, if you are a cheap person who goes on hurting other by posting cheap comments all over the internet – if you are such kind of cheap person – then STAY AWAY FROM SULEMAN HAKIK GEMSTONE – because it will just finish you.

And so this sharing is only for my close followers and readers – so that only selective men and women – who are good by heart – who are meditative – who are truthful and who are NOT revengeful – who are FORGIVING by nature – only such a few souls benefit from my sharing.

TRUTH is necessary. But TRUTH should reach only those who deserve. And usually only those who deserve will read and benefit from my blog.

Enough for today – it looks like the LUNAR ECLIPSE is over. And now we all can dance, sing and celebrate life – because that is what life is all about! Life is for those who know how to celebrate it!

Don’t Analyze, Celebrate It. – Osho

The head goes on analyzing – I hate such heads. But then there are beautiful souls out there – who simply follow their heart and only these fellows find the truth. Because truth is not be found by your head – it is to be realized by your SELF!

Almost every day – people come to me asking “Will you teach me astrology?”

My answer is always “NO”

Because only that person can learn astrology from me – who is a follower of his heart. And such a person is yet to arrive. I am not in rush – because at the right time – he will come. Reminds me of a story – the story of Boddhidharma.

It happened so that there were hundreds of Buddhist monks and they all were meditative and they ALL wanted to become disciple of Bodhidharma but Bodhidharma was very selective – in fact even Gautama Buddha was not so selective as Bodhidharma was!

During his stay in China – Bodhidharma could only find 4 – worthy to be accepted as disciples!

AND it took NINE YEARS for him to find the very first Disciple!

Many people would come to seek his blessing and to ask him questions – but Bodhidharma said that “I will answer only to that man who is worthy of being my disciple. And unless somebody who deserved to be my disciple comes- I will NOT look at the audience.”

And for NINE years – Bodhidharma never looked at the audience – the people who came to meet him – instead he turned his back and looked at the WALL. People used to come and they would sit behind him. It was a strange situation. And when someone asked Bodhidharma – why you never face the people but instead sit facing the wall?

Bodhidharma said “ People hurt me more – the wall is better than people. Looking at the shallowness of the people – it hurts me more than otherwise. So I continue to sit by facing the wall. And I will turn around and look at the people ONLY if somebody proves by his action that he is ready to be my disciple.”

Nine years passed. People could not find what to do — what action would satisfy him. They could not figure it out. And then came this young man, Hui Ko. He cut off one of his hands with the sword, and threw the bleeding hand before Bodhidharma and said, “This is the beginning. Either you turn, or my head will be falling before you. I am going to cut my head too.”

Bodhidharma quickly got up ,turned around and looked into the eyes of Hui Ko and said “You are really a man worthy of me. No need to cut the head, we have to use it.”

This man, Hui Ko, was his first disciple.

Who can CUT HIS HAND and THROW before the MASTER? Only a man who is utterly mad in LOVE with the GURU! Only a man who has the potential to move beyond the MIND – only the man who is KETUISH!

You see – for nine years – Bodhidharma was looking for such a beautiful person – who is WILLING TO DO ANYTHING – just to become his disciple – just to receive his love – just to be with his omnipresence!

If Boddhidharma can wait for NINE years – I am just a small ant – I can wait for NINE HUNDRED years – until I find Hui Ko!

Enough for now. You all stay safe and remember – to protect yourself – you should NOT hesitate to use BLACK on your BODY.

Love to all those beautiful souls who LOVE Buddha. Today – on BUDDHA POORNIMA DAY – let us remember the greatest master that the world had witness – the most beautiful man who once walked on this planet – GAUTAMA BUDDHA.

I prostrate before BUDDHA – he has always been a great light to millions and as Buddha puts it – that there were many BUDDHAs before HIM and there will be many BUDDHA after HIM – because BUDDHA is NOT a name – BUDDHA is a TITLE – BUDDHA is a STATE – BUDDHA is NO MIND.

This no-mind is the Buddha, beyond this no-mind, you wull never find another Buddha. To search for enlightenment or nirvana, beyond this no-mind, is impossible. The reality of your own self-nature, the absence of cause and effect is what is meant by no-mind. Your no-mind is Nirvana. – Osho

I love Buddha. Buddha is in my blood, in my heart, in my soul. Without Buddha – there is no possibility of living through this human world. It is only the BUDDHA – the CONSCIOUSNESS that enables one to sail efficiently through the birth cycle. When you start walking on the BUDDHA PATH – you stop worrying about the destination – and you start enjoying every moment of life! That’s awareness – that’s being a Buddha! 🙏

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.🙏

Fastest Path to Reach God?

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

When you sing from the bottom of your ❤️ heart. When you recite from the depth of your being — God listens. What cannot be achieved by spending 1000 years of penance — can be achieved through simple love and devotion. Reminds me of Changdev. Changdev was a man of many magics. He had done penance in the Himalayas for 1000 years and he had a following of thousands of disciples. One day he comes to the village of ALANDI — and the people of ALANDI welcome him by showering flowers on his way. Changdev is happy to see such a grand welcome.

But soon he came to know that in this village of ALANDI — there is also one more great Saint and his name was Saint Dyaneshwar. And Saint Dyaneshwar was 15 years old at that time! While Changdev was 500 years old! Changdev thought that I should show this Dyaneshwar my power. So he seats on the back of a ferocious Tiger and starts moving towards the river bank where Dyaneshwar with his brothers and sister was seated. And Dyaneshwar was such a beautiful fellow. His heart ❤️ was full of compassion, filled with unconditional love. He indeed was the Avatar of Sri Vishnu. He smiled and said to his siblings — Changdev is coming to meet me by driving a tiger. And they all were seated on a wall at that time. Dyaneshwar’’s sister said then let’s drive this wall and go to meet Changdev. The brothers of Dyaneshwar said “ But this wall is made of bricks — how can we go flying on this wall?”

Dyaneshwar smiled and said — Nothing is impossible for those who love God. And the greatest miracle happened — The Wall took off into the air just the way an airplane takes off! And Dyaneshwar with his siblings remain seated on the wall — while the wall continued to fly in the sky — until they reached the place where Changdev was slowly moving by mounting on his Tiger! As the wall landed before Changdev — the whole village and Changdev himself was taken aback by this greatest miracle that happened before his eyes — he had the SIDDHIS to drive all living beings in this world BUT driving a dead wall!!! Not just driving but flying by sitting on a dead wall…that was too much. He had spend thousands of years in deep penance but never had he attained such kind of unimaginable power. He quickly got down from the back of the Tiger and rushed towards Dyaneshwar and touched His feet and started crying like a child. Dyaneshwar raised him up and Changdev said “ I am sorry. I was caught up in my Ego of attaining SIDDHIS. But you have opened my eyes. I spend thousands of years in penance but I remained a BLANK SLATE. Now show me the way…..MASTER…show me the way….”

And Saint Dyaneshwar smiled and said “ Changdev — there is no need to feel bad. The moment one realizes his mistake — he starts walking on the right path. And the right path is the path of DEVOTION. The path of LOVE. The BHAKTI MARG”

And Dyaneshwar gave Changdev a warm hug. The man was back home. He had spend hundreds of years in penance but never had he felt so much love welling up in his ❤️ heart. It is said that when Saint Dyaneshwar took SAMADHI at the age of 17, it was Changdev who cried the most and he was 500 years old at that time! A real story that happened in the village of ALANDI, Maharashtra. Even today the wall which Dyaneshwar flew is present and Saint Dyaneshwar Samadhi Mandir is also present.

The whole beauty is in the BHAKTI Marg. The Devotional Path. There may be many ways to reach God but the most fastest and easiest way to reach God is the path of LOVE ❤️, path of DEVOTION!

WHEN YOU CRY WITH LOVE FROM THE BOTTOM OF YOUR HEART ❤️ — GOD IS LISTENING. REMEMBER THIS. GOD IS ABSOLUTELY NOT INTERESTED IN YOUR INTELLECTUALISM. GOD IS INTERESTED IN YOUR ❤️ HEART. BECAUSE LOVE WELLS UP ONLY FROM THE ❤️ HEART. IF YOU ARE A MAN OF HEART — THEN YOU DON’T HAVE TO WORRY MUCH. YOU ARE THE CHOSEN ONE AND GOD IS GOING TO MAKE SURE THAT YOU ATTAIN WHAT YOU DESIRE.

Dance. Sing. Let there be more Love ❤️ flowing through your entire being and then God will come in search of You. The Master will come in search of You.

And what a coincidence — today is Thursday. In Indian context – Thursday is called Guruvar (The (Guru) master’s day).

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Remedies to Attract Life Success

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

A few months ago, I was on my visit to an ancient SHIVA temple. And I knew the main priest of the temple. He was a young man. Happy, full of life, devoted to SHIVA just like our Mohan. The priest’s name was Gangadhar. When I met Gangadhar, I observed closely – he looked different. He was now having a beard on his chin. I said “What happened – you seem to be on some mission.”

Gangadhar smiled and said “How you came to know?”

I smiled and said “That is not important. Now you tell me – what’s the mission?”

Gangadhar smiled and said ” Yes I am on a mission – mission of becoming a father of a daughter. The beard is my way of penance – you see.”

You see – my fellows that is the whole message. Gangadhar was already a father of two sons but in his family – from last three generations – nobody had been able to give birth to a daughter! Gangadhar had made a promise to Lord Shiva – until you give me a beautiful daughter – I will NOT shave my beard.

And that is why that beard was growing so long on his face.

And this is the whole essence – the whole secret and the whole purpose of growing a beard – or to put it in other words – this is the whole purpose of NOT shaving until you attain your wish, your goal.

So my fellows – if you are NOT getting a good job – STOP SHAVING until you find a good job. If you are not able to find the love of your life – STOP SHAVING until you find a good partner who is NOT behind your appearance but who seem to ÇONNECT with you – RELATE with you. Always remember – RELATING is beautiful. When you relate – you are not dependent on other’s love, you are simply relating – you are simply sharing the abundance of love that dwells in your heart. Only a man of love can SEE – because LOVE can feel, LOVE can SEE what others cannot! LOVE is NOT BLIND – my fellows – in fact only LOVE has eyes!

People say love is blind because they do not know what love is. I say unto you, only love has eyes; other than love, everything is blind. – Osho

Love has eyes. Love has power – love is the strongest medicine, it is more powerful than electricity – says one of the greatest spiritual master – NEEM KAROLI BABA.

A pure woman is better than a hundred yogis. Women are more open to love God. – Neem Karoli Baba

A pious woman has immense love towards God. God is more attentive to a pious woman’s prayer because nobody can love God as deeply as a woman can! Remember – Meera Bai ? – she was one of the greatest devotee of Lord Krishna! And Krishna loved her, Krishna would come whenever she would sing in His praise! That was how deep the bonding was – between Meera & Krishna!

Meera became enlightened, and danced and danced. Her whole life she danced from one village to another, singing songs of God, of love. And Buddha became enlightened and became utterly silent, quiet, still. It is not an accident that the first marble statues made were of Buddha – he looked like a marble statue, he sat like a marble statue. Now, you cannot make a marble statue of Meera; it is impossible. She is so volatile. She is more like a river than like a marble rock. You cannot make a statue of Meera – it will be a falsification because the statue will not be able to dance. And without dance, there is no Meera. – Osho

Without dance – without love – without SANKALP (determination) – there is NOTHING EVER POSSIBLE in this human world and beyond!

And so now I will share with you all – the process of doing SANKALP. Because without doing a SANKALP – you will not get the results that you desire! So before you begin with this effective VRAT (Ritual) – there is PROCESS that you should follow – only then this remedy will work for you. So here is the process, make a note of it:

1. On MONDAY – after bath, sit before Lord Shiva’s Shiv-Lingam or Shiva’s photo.

2. Chant “Aum Namaha Shivaya” for 108 times – repeat the japa mala for 3 more times. Always use a SPATIK JAPA MALA and the SPATIK should have facets – that is very important.

3. Then take a copper glass filled with water. And using a spoon offer the water through your right hand and as you offer the water – make a promise to SHIVA – say this: “Until I get a job (or whatsoever is your immediate goal)I will NOT shave my beard.” This process in Indian context is called SANKALP. SANKALP means an intention formed by the heart and mind — a solemn vow, determination, or will.

Once you do this SANKALP (a solemn vow) – remember you should follow it sincerely if you really want your wish to be fulfilled. Right now in our country everybody is wondering that WHY our honorable Prime Minister Modi is NOT shaving his beard – but now you all must have understood the answer to this WHY? Because PM Modi has made a SANKALP – that unless and until our country comes out of this pandemic – he will NOT shave. What else can a man of his stature wish for? It is just the LOVE for the countrymen and the motherland – INDIA.

Always remember – SANKALP (solemn vow, determination) can move big mountains – so what to say about your troubles – they are nothing before the mountains!

Pursue one great decisive aim with force and determination. – Cari von Clausewitz

A dream becomes a REALITY when you remain DETERMINED on attaining your GOAL.

I believe success is achieved by ordinary people with extraordinary determination. – Zig Ziglar

The SANKALP (solemn vow, determination) that you have made (i.e NOT SHAVING until you attain your GOAL) – will definitely deliver the results as long as you keep your WORD – that you have given to Lord Shiva.

And when you finally attain your GOAL – then this is what you have to do:

SHAVE.
And offer sweets (Ladoo) bhog to Lord Shiva – at home or in the temple!

This remedy is also effective in case of women. All you have to do is to STOP cutting your hair until you attain your immediate wish or goal. Say – you are not finding a suitable groom, or a suitable partner, suitable lover – or suitable job – then do this remedy by following the same steps as explained for the men.

MAN or WOMAN – there exists NO DISCRIMINATION in the KINGDOM OF GOD. The sexual desires, the hunger, the wants, the ambitions – they all exist in BOTH – MAN and WOMAN alike! Just the body is different – the essence is the same. Once a man said there are only TWO RELIGIONS – MAN and WOMAN – but I reject to ACCEPT even this categorization – because in the KINGDOM OF GOD – there is ONLY ONE RELIGION and that is HUMANITY.

There is only one caste, The caste of Humanity. There is only one religion, The religion of Love. There is only one language, The language of the Heart. There is only one God, and He is Omnipresent!

Man or woman, son or daughter – if you continue to discriminate – then GOD has no place for YOU. Because if you cannot accept the TRUTH that there is no difference between MAN and WOMAN except for their physical bodies – then how can you ACCEPT GOD – how can you FACE GOD – and even when you FACE GOD – what are you going to answer – when God says “I send you to realize the ONENESS – but you continued to live like an idiot – discriminating between man and woman?”

What are you going to answer?

The whole purpose of human life is to slowly slowly rise above all the categorizations – all the compartments that mind goes on creating and realize the fact – the ultimate truth – the ONENESS. (Nonduality).

A person experiences life as something separated from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of consciousness. Our task must be to free ourselves from this self-imposed prison, and through compassion, to find the reality of Oneness. – Albert Einstein

ONENESS. Always remember – a spiritual person is NOT RELIGIOUS. And a typical RELIGIOUS person can NEVER become SPIRITUAL. These are two ends – you can fool yourself – but you cannot fool GOD – you are either SPIRITUAL or you are RELIGIOUS – you cannot be BOTH.

Decide who you are? Find who you are? And when you find, when you introspect do not let the monkey mind meddle in between. Because the mind goes on creating many illusions about yourself – which has nothing to do with the reality!

Only a spiritual person can someday – in some birth experience THAT – to which the world addresses as ONENESS.

A Oneness of all. An evolution in consciousness of us all that isn’t about the egos. – Ram Dass

Swami Vivekananda therefore says “ONENESS is the secret to EVERYTHING….”

Oneness is the secret to everything. – Swami Vivekananda

It is a long journey – journey of many births and rebirths – until we all self-realize and self-experience the wonderful state of ONENESS – NONDUALITY – ADVAIT.

Love to all my readers, my close followers – stay blessed and remember to meditate every day.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Best Zodiac Signs for Mercury

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Mercury is a processor. And each one of us has this “processer” placed in our birth chart. The configuration of this processer is purely based on your past karma. If you have used this processor for doing good, for encouraging others, for helping others, for spreading love and light – for inventing products that would help mankind – then this birth you have arrived with a well-placed Mercury – Mercury which is not retrograde but is normal and placed in 3rd, 6th, 7th, 10th, or 11th house in your birth chart. The most suitable house placement for Mercury is indeed 2,3,5,6,7,10,11.

But the buck doesn’t stop here. Mercury placement is the first checkpoint. If you clear this first checkpoint then the next checkpoint is the NAKSHATRA in which your MERCURY is placed.

Mohan asked “Which Nakshatra compliments Mercury?”

The answer is simple. In fact TRUTH has always been simple.

Mercury does well in the Nakshatra of Venus, Rahu, Saturn. These are buddies of Mercury and we all love our buddies!

Happiness Is Being With My Buddies.

And so MERCURY is HAPPY when HE is with his buddies (Venus, Rahu, Saturn).

Mercury therefore does well in the following Nakshatras:

Swati (Libra)
Shatabhisha (Aquarius)
Ardra (Gemini)
Purvaphalguni (Leo)
Bharani (Aries)
Purvashada (Saggitarrius)
Pushya (Cancer)
Uttarabhadrapad (Pisces)
Anuradha (Scorpio)

Mercury also does well in its own Nakshatra. Mercury does well in Ashlesha, Jyestha and Revati Nakshatra.

Pisces is NOT bad for Mercury – my fellows. One man – and he was the greatest scientist that the world had ever known – ALBERT EINSTEIN – had his MERCURY in PISCES. So you now tell me – one of teh greatest genius is born with PISCES MERCURY and in India you see all screaming from their stomach – that MERCURY is debilitated in PISCES or MERCURY is not good in PISCES! That is all FAKE. TRUTH is something else – and this sharing is only for my close followers – the rest can ignore and continue with their bookish lessons.

REAL LIFE is different from what you read in the BOOKS my fellows. That is why a real man – a real woman learns her lessons NOT sitting in a cozy classroom but right on the STREET.

I have learned more in the streets than in any classroom. – Don Vito Corleone

Classroom students are complete TURNOFF for me. I prefer those who are like the breeze – the wind – the storm – who don’t limit themselves to the four walls of astrology but fly beyond – and only those who have the courage to fly beyond – can taste the true essence of astrology!

Shine like a star, dream like a child, fly like a bird. No rules, No limit!

Mercury shows its colors and shades based on the Nakshatra and signs – and so when Mercury is placed in:

Swati (Libra) – The person is intellectual. And if there is a certain depth in the horoscope then this intellectualism can also rise to the level of intelligence. Intellectualism is NOT intelligence – intellectualism is of the head, intelligence is when your head is in tune with your heart!
Shatabhisha (Aquarius) – Highly intellectual. Sexual. Loves to have large network of friends. Generally is famous within his circle. This Mercury enjoys a certain Authority – the person either attains a prominent place in society or is connected with affluent person. A certain glamor is seen with this Mercury.
Ardra (Gemini) – Excellent in communication. Takes great interest in magic, art, board games. Generally comes with emotional Intelligence. Highly diplomatic in conversations. Generally never let others know what exactly is going on in his or her mind.
Purvaphalguni (Leo) – Drama, acting, intelligence, politics, this Mercury is a SHOWMAN. Loves to flaunt his new i-phone or a new Mercedes or anything that boosts his or her pride. PRIDE is the whole point. Whatever adds to his pride – he will definitely flaunt it. SHOW OFF is what they like. These fellows are NOT stingy or NARROW MIND people – the like to live it LARGE. In a way a friend having this Mercury placement is a good friend. He may be the greatest SHOW OFF person in your building but he will be also the only person who will come to help you – because he has a large heart – he roars like a lion – he eats like a lion and he also SHARES like a LION!
Bharani (Aries) – All those romantic couples – especially those romantic songs, and love triangles, and love relationships and “She loves me – she loves me NOT” – all kind of these ROMANTICISM is found in native with Mercury in Bharani. They are a song, they are a dance, they are direct – if he loves you – he will just say it in a running bus – you are sitting next to him and he will propose – straight from the HEART – “I LOVE YOU” – and it will be so natural, so simple, so straight that for a minute you will not figure out – until you say “What did you say?” and the man of heart will smile and say it again “I LOVE YOU”! What is there to fear? When you love – you simply love! Whenever you love someone – you should express your love. If the response is YES – you are all good to go. And if the response is NO – you can move on. That is how this Mercury is – straight, simple.
Purvashada (Saggitarrius) – Well versed in scriptures, scholarly, learned person is what you find with this Mercury placement. Generally such a native is well-cultured, aims high and is always thinking by following the path of righteousness (Dharma). Such a person will find it difficult to KISS the love of his life in the public. Because what will people say? So they are conservative but at strange moments – unexpected moments they suddenly do something that is exactly opposite to their nature. Such a man may hesitate to kiss his girlfriend in the public – but if he has to save a woman from drowning in the river – then he may go all the way to save her – he will pull her out of the river, and suck the water out from her chest. When it comes to safeguarding DHARMA – he will not hesitate to do anything under the sky. Such a native loves to talk about mythology, scriptures, religion. They also like to debate on matters of religion. They are the protector of DHARMA.
Pushya (Cancer) – Emotional people. They always think – but their thinking is highly influenced by their emotions. And so superstitions, beliefs, traditions – all of these play a vital role in their life – because most of their decisions are based on it. Innocence comes natural to these fellows. A woman having Mercury in Cancer is indeed a sweet person – in fact her lover falls for her innocence but in practical life – the same innocence becomes a challenge for the husband – he always have to safeguard his wife – because his wife is so innocent and the world isn’t! Moodiness and constant changing temperament is a trademark of this placement. To sing a song, to dance, to make love – to enjoy the cool breeze, the watch the playful birds – the native just loves to do all of these – to him or to her – life is more like love and less like logic!
Anuradha (Scorpio) – What is in it for me? No matter how much you explain these people – the primary question is always – what is in it for me? what am I going to get? This is a very practical placement of Mercury – where you cannot take this native for a ride. Salesperson will find it difficult to sell a product to this native – because this native remains focused on the basic question – “Kitna Deti Hai” (How much does it give back?” A strong inclination towards occult, mystery and passion for investigations, finding the true meaning, finding the truth is always observed in these natives. They talk very straight – and at times it can hurt the other person – but that is how they are! Never taunt – because if you dare to taunt then these natives will give you such a befitting reply that you will be taken aback. They are very sharp, straight and practical people – their motto is simple – if you remain straight with me – I will remain straight with you.

Whenever Mercury forms conjunction with Saturn, Venus, Rahu – in the above mentioned Nakshatras – then the marriage works – meaning the conjunction brings certain positive results that help the native to boost his or her status in the society.

What is Mercury? Processer. But who operates this processer? Who is the real mover and shaker?

MOON. Moon (MIND) commands and the BRAIN (Mercury /processer) follows the command. You will not indulge in actual sex – until your MIND is willing to! It is only when your MIND says YES – that your BRAIN (Mercury) gets into action mode and then the BRAIN commands the sexual organ and the organ moves ahead – the grass starts growing – that is how the act of sex happens – at the command of the MIND. The MIND (MOON) commands – the BRAIN (MERCURY) executes. And to execute a certain action – you need ENERGY – this ENERGY comes from MARS – and when it comes to sex – a lot of energy and stamina is required – which comes through MARS and therefore MARS plays a vital role in the act of sex!

When MIND, BRAIN, ENERGY is in harmony – then the act of sex happens without any problems – then both the partners enjoy sex and attain sexual satisfaction.

Sexual satisfaction is one of the most significant part of human life without which you cannot really progress in spiritual life. If you turn to spiritual life because you failed in your sexual relationships – because you remained sexually dissatisfied then your spiritual life will also prove a failure.

It is all interconnected – unless you realize that SEX has its own limitations – unless you realize that there is much more beyond SEX – there is no coming to truth – there is no chance of you succeeding in your spiritual life. NEVER SUPRESS SEX – instead TRANSFORM your sexual urge into spiritual urge!

Sex is raw energy. It has to be transformed, and through transformation there is transcendence. Rather than transforming it, religions have been repressing it. And if you repress it the natural outcome is a perverted human being. He becomes obsessed with sex. – Osho

Perversion happens when you are denied what you desire! Sex perverts are those fellows who have never experienced sex or have been denied sexual pleasures.

If you observe closely then those who have had enough of sex – they are NEVER found to be sexual perverts. They had enough – so perversion has no space in their life – it is non-existential.

When Mercury is good – the brain is good – the procession power is good – the logical analysis is good – BUT there is a catch!

What if the MOON is bad? Because finally the MASTER of MERCURY is MOON – your MIND!

And so my fellows – this is a deep subject. The whole essence of the matter is that when MOON is BAD and MERCURY is GOOD – the MOON will use this FAST PROCESSOR for WRONG MALACIOUS GOALS!

That is how you see – HACKERS, FRAUDS, CHEATERS – they may have excellent sharp mercury (brain) but their Mind (moon) is corrupt and so a good mercury is wasted – just wasted!

And then there is this case – where the MOON is RIGHT but the MERCURY is WRONG! Then you have these kind of people who always THINK OPPOSITE! For example – if I prepare a nice sweet dish and offer with love – then these people will think “hmm….there must be some agenda behind this act”!

You see – no matter how much straight you are with these men and women – they will always think the crooked way!

And this word CROOKED now reminds me of MERCURY RETROGRADE period! Because RETROGRADE MERCURY is also a CROOKED MERCURY!

And so now when Mercury goes RETROGRADE from May 30th to June 23, 2021 – stay cautious of crooked men and crooked women around you. For they can cause much trouble – if you remain unaware.

Mercury retrograde is a period when everything will SLOW DOWN. However it is a wonderful period to REVISIT, RECONNECT, and RECHARGE yourself. You can revisit old proposals (job/marriage). You can reconnect with old buddies with whom you had lost the connection. You can use this retrograde period to PAUSE, INTROSPECT and RECHARGE yourself!

Mercury retrograde period is a time when you avoid indulging in any new venture – instead clean up and rearrange the old setup – renovate your office, house.

It is also a period when you can go through surgeries because surgery is also a process of ‘’correcting’’ your physical body – and retrograde mercury period is all about doing corrections and reinventing yourself so that when mercury goes direct – you are all set to go for your GOAL!

Remember – this human body has MIND (MOON), BRAIN (MERCURY) and also a HEART – the REAL KING! This HEART is ruled by the SUN – that is why you have the LEO sign – my fellows. LEO is the HEART!

And so the whole spiritual journey begins and progresses as you slowly start dropping your MIND – because when MIND is dropped – the BRAIN no more has its master (moon/mind)- then the BRAIN starts turning towards the HEART and when the HEART becomes the MASTER of your BRAIN then you find someone as beautiful as MEERA BAI – as beautiful as the BUDDHA – as beautiful as the MAHAVIRA – as beautiful as JESUS! The enlightened beings operate in this human world – but without the MIND!

A buddha is in a state of no-mind.

The whole problem is your mind. Once you enslave your mind – then the same mind can do wonders in your life. But to enslave the mind – one may take many births – or with the GRACE of the GURU – even one birth is ENOUGH! It all depends – it is based on person to person – but what you all should remember is that – reaching the destination is NOT as important as embarking on the JOURNEY itself!

We all have to make a collective effort to bring the lost ones on the PATH again – the BUDDHA PATH. I am making a small effort from my end – you make a small effort from your end – and this how the JOURNEY will continue – this is how this beautiful life will flower – only if you are willing to.

The beauty is in walking on the PATH – as you walk…. the way appears!

Keep walking….

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Types of Black Magic Spells

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

In the earlier blogs on black magic – you all learned about the first three type of black magic which prominently practiced across the world by black magicians. Now let us find the remaining types of black magic that is performed by seasoned witch or warlock.

4. Career, Profession – The black magic cast is specifically targeted to cause harm to your CAREER, PROFESIONALY GROWTH in general. The black magician specifically ensures that the negative energies that he casts upon you – start distracting you from your goals, your mission, your work. That is how slowly slowly your performance starts declining – whether you are a cricketer, an actor, an officer or a regular skilled worker – this black magic spell directly impacts your ability to perform well. People around you start doubting your ability to perform a certain task. You also start wondering that how come suddenly your performance is going down – however before you realize where you are heading to – the black magician completely destroys your career – it is only when you go through many setbacks on job, career that you start realizing that there is something unseen – that is impacting your career – but this realization can come only if there is some awareness to your being! Else there are millions of men and women who simply become victims of negative energies (black magic) and continue to suffer on their career path.

5. Marriage – Many time a certain woman, or man is unable to get married. This is one special kind of black magic spell that is cast just to ensure that the targeted person does NOT get married. A special black magic ritual is performed by the black magician by offering boiled eggs, rooster, blood of rooster and many such items used in Tantra – to empower the ghosts/souls so that they continue to create many hurdles and the targeted person remains unmarried. Many times another kind of black magic is performed through which the ‘MIND’ of the targeted person is taken in control and the black magician continuously hammers the victim’s mind so that he or she continue to REFUSE to get married. The black magician basically targets the WILLINGNESS of the victim – he ensures that the victim is NOT WILLING to get married.

6. DARIDRATA – POVERTY – This black magic spell is specifically to ensure that the targeted person becomes poor or remains poor. The magician sends many PRETATMA (ghosts) on the victim – so that the victim continues to make wrong decisions, wrong choices and in turn remains poor. Such a targeted person is found to be lazy, not willing to do any job, no willing to learn anything – he simply wastes his life by doing nothing or worse – continues to spend money on SEX, ALCOHOL, TOBACCO. This is the most worst type of black magic – it takes a lot of efforts to remove such black magic spell.

7. EMOTIONAL ROMANTIC DILLEMA – This black magic spell is very interesting to know. Often we see certain man or certain woman totally lost in somebody’s love! In Hindi this is called MOHABBAT. There is a difference between the word MOHABBAT and ISHQ. ISHQ is higher form of LOVE – which is unconditional. ISHQ is spiritual love – MOHABBAT is not spiritual love. These men and women who seemed to have fallen in love – is an ordinary love called MOHABBAT. The black magician sends certain souls of dead men and women who died or committed suicide because they were cheated in love – MOHABBAT! Such souls become PRETATMA (ghosts). The black magician catch these type of souls and then sends them to targeted victim. Soon the targeted victim starts feeling romantic, poetic – lustful – sexual – and slowly slowly the perfect romantic mindset is created within the targeted victim. Once the mindset is filled with all kind of such romantic thoughts then it is easy for the black magician to play his next move – making the targeted person fall in love with someone! And this is how the targeted person is diverted from his career goals, his self growth – his progress because once you fall in love and become an AASHIQ – nothing goes into your head but just the love interest – the woman/man you have fallen for. Such black magic spells were often cast during the Mughal Era – the Mughals would use black magicians to cast spells on their enemy kings and ensure that they take to alcohol, romance, sex – so that once they are diverted to the pleasures of body – the Mughal can attack and defeat them – thereby acquiring their kingdom or making them vessels. In modern times – people use this type of black magic to block their enemies from progressing in their life – their business.

Enough for today.

Soon I will share more……on the heinous acts of black magic.
