KETU is ZERO. KETU is SHUNYA (शुन्य​) – Ketu is a Nobody. And yet Ketu can get you to Everbody.

“When you become SHUNYA, when you become absolutely NOTHING, a NOTHINGNESS, a NOBODY-then you have attained.”
-Buddha

And it is only when you ATTAIN – when you SELF REALIZE – when you are Enlightened that you can HEAL! And so I have been saying again and again – that at the ROOT of HEALING POWER – is the most benevolent KETU – one who has NO HEAD – and only one who has NO HEAD can JUMP – and only one who can JUMP – can ATTAIN – can experience the BEYOND.

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

Such men are very few. One in a million. People want to know many things – they talk a lot – so much of “knowledge’ they exhibit – and yet when it comes to taking the ‘JUMP’ – they start shaking – they start raising many doubts – and so ARJUNA is one in a million. ANANDA is one in a million. PETER is one in a million. They JUMPED – they simply jumped WITHOUT thinking – when you THINK – the MIND is in PLAY – the HEAD is in play – and the MIND won’t let you JUMP – ARJUNA, ANANDA, PETER – these were great souls who had overcome the monkey mind – and so when KRISHNA says to ARJUNA – “SHOOT – SHOOT at that old man – BHISHMA- follow your DHARMA”

ARJUNA simply shoots – he simply shoots his ARROW at that old man who loved him the most – whom he also loves the most – BHISHMA! But when the MASTER says “SHOOT” – ARJUNA simply SHOOTS – that is the stage of NO MIND – that is the most beautiful stage of KETU!

When Jesus meets Peter, the fisherman for the VERY FIRST TIME and says “ Peter – follow me – I will make you the fisher of men.”

Peter, the fisherman simply drops everything and starts following JESUS. He is not even aware of who JESUS is! He is an illiterate man – and yet he could SEE that this man is something else – that the words of this young man are so deep – his eyes, there is so much GRACE – that Peter simply could not even THINK – he simply ‘JUMPS’ into the unknown – and that is KETU – that is COURAGE – it is only through the State of NO MIND- KETU – you can become COURAGEOUS – Peter indeed was the most COURAGEOUS man and the same PETER, the fisherman goes on the become one of the 12 Apostles of Jesus and later is revered as Saint Peter in the Christian Faith!

Ananda – what an innocent man he was. Yes – he had some ignorance – but he simply was so much devoted to BUDDHA that he followed HIM for 40 years – like a shadow – he remained with BUDDHA – Ananda becomes the Shadow of Buddha – Ananda was also a PRINCE – he belonged to a ROYAL family – he was the elder cousin brother of Buddha – and yet he JUMPED – he left everything behind and came in search of his younger brother – whom the world had been addressing as the BUDDHA! And Ananda loved Buddha – but his love had become possessive. And the moment your LOVE becomes POSSESSIVE – KETU takes a backseat – and when KETU (DETACHMENT) takes a backseat – your spiritual progress – your enlightenment is blocked!

And that is what happened with ANANDA. He spend 40 years with BUDDHA and yet he could NOT attain.

And now when BUDDHA was dying – when BUDDHA was about leave his human body – Anand started crying – he could not control himself – he broke out with such a cry that Buddha noticed it and said “ Ananda why you cry?”

Ananda says “I am not crying because you are leaving – I am crying because once you are gone – there will nobody of your caliber for centuries to come and I am still not enlightened. Those who came after me – have been enlightened with your Grace – but I…..haven’t yet been enlightened….why?”

Buddha said “Ananda – when you met me for the first time, you laid 3 conditions – those conditions became a hurdle between you and your attainment.”

Ananda remembered those 3 conditions – those 3 conditions were to help him stay with Buddha and he stayed for 40 years – but no luck, enlightenment never happened to him. Ananda asked ” Now what?” Buddha said ” Now I have to die first – only then you will be enlightened – with my death – all your conditions that I had accepted will cease – you will then attain.”

And it is said that after Buddha died, Ananda attained enlightenment.

Conditions block you – when you love – let there be NO Conditions.

“The word – PROGRESS is the basic disease of the modern age. What is the need? All that can be enjoyed is available, all that you need to be happy is here and Now. But you create CONDITIONS and you say that unless these conditions are fulfilled you cannot be happy as if by being happy you are going to oblige the whole universe.” – Osho

KETU has NO CONDITIONS. Because KETU operates WITHOUT HEAD – WITHOUT MIND.

And so a REAL DISCIPLE – a REAL FOLLOWER when follows the MASTER – he would never remember the BLOWS of the Master – because there is NO HEAD – all that there is – is the HEART and the HEART can only FEEL – the HEART cannot HOLD on to anything – in true sense – the HEART is DETACHED by nature – what makes you ATTACHED is your MIND – and therefore the MIND is always against KETU – because it knows – that the energy of KETU can eliminate all the illusions that the MIND goes on creating.

It happened once, Hassan and a few Sufi Mystics were walking through the forest and they all met Rabiya – the Great Sufi Saint. Expressing their love for the master – Hassan says “None is sincere in his claims to the Love of God unless he patiently endure the blows of His Lord.” Rabiya smiles and says ” This smells egoism.” Sakik says ” None is sincere in his claim unless he give thanks for the blows of the Lord.” Rabiya again smiles and says ” This must be still bettered. Still some ego is there.” Malik says ” None is sincere in his claim unless he delight in the blows of his Lord.” Rabiya again smiled and said “Good but still needs to be improved. A very subtle ego is still hiding like a shadow.” Then they all said ” Rabiya – you yourself say – you guide us.” And Rabiya, one of the greatest Sufi Saint – she says ” None is sincere in his claim UNLESS he FORGETS the blows in beholding his lord.” How beautiful is this. They loved the master – but they could not FORGOT the blows – here Rabiya is saying – when love is total – the blows cannot be remembered. So where is the question of being delighted to receive the Master’s blows? or thankful or tolerating the blows – the Blows simply does not exist – a devoted disciple forgets the blows in beholding his compassionate Master!

“Even when the Master hits, you feel tremendously happy. And the Master has to hit to make openings in your being. You have grown a hard crust around yourself, that was necessary for survival; otherwise you would not have survived at all. You had to protect yourself against so many dangerous situations in life. When you come to a MAster you have to drop that armor. And the aromor may have gone so deep that you cannot drop it, then the Master has to hit you, the Master has to use a sledge-hammer! He has to cut many chunks of your being because they are NOT really part of you. And when those chunks are removed and cut, it is painful, it hurts – but only then the Master can pour himself into you.” – Osho

The Master can pour himself into you – only WHEN you have NO MIND.Only when you have overcome the MIND – only when your MIND is merged into your HEART and there is NO MIND – but tremendous intelligence!

KETU therefore brings Intelligence – but this intelligence is of very deep very unique and very rebellious by nature! TRUTH has always been rebellious. JESUS was rebellious – he goes to the PAGAN TEMPLES and asks the people to stop DOING BUSINESS on the name of these PAGAN GOD IDOLS. Mohammed was rebellious – He too went against the BUSINESS OF RELIGION and the Corruption that was happening on the name of GOD and IDOLS – BUDDHA too was rebellious – he too went against the Corruption that was happening on the name of religion. INTELLIGENCE is always rebellious by nature – the SOCIETY cannot FACE the intelligent – the SOCIETY always is afraid of an intelligent Man or an intelligent Woman. The SOCIETY is always afraid of KETU – because KETU brings Intelligence and Intelligence can unmask the FAKE and bring forth the TRUTHS!

Intelligence is dangerous.
Intelligence means you will start thinking on your own; you will start looking around on your own. You will not believe in the scriptures; you will believe only in your own experience.
-Rajneesh

Intelligence is of the heart consciousness (also addressed as God consciousness in the West or Krishna Consciousness in the East) . NEVER confuse Intelligence with Intellectualism.

Intellectualism is of the HEAD – Mercury.

Intelligence is of the Consciousness – SUN. And the way towards CONSCIOUSNESS is paved by KETU! And therefore it is the SIGN of LEO – where KETU presides like an EMPEROR – by taking the lordship of the NAKSHATRA – MAGHA!

How beautiful is all this and how beautiful it can be – there is no limit – there never was! And so LEO the sign of SUN (Consciousness) has its FIRST NAKSHATRA as MAGHA ruled by Sri KETU! And therefore SUN feels HOME in the NAKSHATRA of MAGHA – SUN is extremely comfortable in the ROYAL ABODE of KETU (MAGHA Nakshatra)!

And therefore MAGHA is called the ROYAL ABODE – ROYALITY is closely associated with KETU – but the ROYALITY – the KING – the RAJ YOG that KETU brings is something beyond this material world – you become the KING of KINGS – but you roam NAKED – and yet you become KING of KINGS – you become a Diogenes – he had NOTHING and yet he had THAT – which Emperors and Kings never had – he was one of the greatest YOGI of the WEST – a great SAINT – now tell me – when you say ‘I am KING’ – there should be absolute FREEDOM – no worries – no tensions – no obstructions – no obsessions – no possessions – such a FREEDOM – neither ALEXANDER, the GREAT had and nor any EMPERORS who have been through this human world! SUCH A FREEDOM only JESUS had,MOHAMMED had, MAHAVIRA had, KRISHNA had, BUDDHA had – only a YOGI could experience TOTAL FREEDOM and only that man or woman who can experience TOTAL FREEDOM is the REAL KING – KETU enables you to reach the state of TOTAL FREEDOM – and therefore the NAKSHATRA OF MAGHA is addressed as the ROYAL ABODE – the REAL KING’s SEAT – because it is here where you become a great YOGI – or you get the CAPACITY to become a great YOGI.

Yogi PARAMHANSA YOGANANADA had LEO Ascendant with MAGHA Nakshatra rising (KETU). And what a great Yogi he was – what a beautiful Autobiography he wrote – that it moved the hearts of millions across the globe – my salute to His Holiness Paramhansa Yogananda.

SUN feels home in the NAKSHATRA of KETU – MAGHA.

CONSCIOUSNESS feels home in the ABODE of KETU.

The Sign of LEO therefore is NOT in its entirety BENEFICIAL for the SUN. The SUN feels home – the SUN has all the abilities to expand your consciousness – ONLY as long as it is placed in the MAGHA Nakshatra of the SUN SIGN.

The moment SUN moves to PURVA PHALGUNI – it starts becoming uncomfortable – and therefore I meet many who wonder that why SUN in-spite of being in LEO sign – does NOT favor in its totality. PURVA PHALGUNI is VENUS Nakshatra and SUN energy is in contrast to VENUS. SUN wants to UPLIFT you – and VENUS wants you to remain ATTACHED to material PLEASURES – how can this MARRIAGE work?

And so SUN in LEO works beautifully – helping you to grow spiritually – as long as it is in the NAKSHATRA of MAGHA. Interestingly many ROYAL FIGURES are also born on MAGHA – LEO ASCENDANT – when KETU connects material planets – ROYALITY comes – when KETU connects with spiritual planets – SPIRITUALITY of HIGHEST NATURE comes – in both cases – you remains in the ABODE OF KETU – MAGHA – the ROYAL ABODE – that’s why the ancient seers have HIGH REGARDS for MAGHA – the nakshatra of KETU.

KETU is SHUNYA. ZERO. The WEST mentions the state of SHUNYA as EMPTINESS. NOTHING. NOBODY.

It is good to be a Nobody. Because LOVE happens only when you are in true sense a NOBODY! If you remain “I am somebody” (EGO)- Love is not possible. God is not possible. So it necessary to self realize the significance of being a nobody – the significance of NOTHINGNESS, the significance of EMPTINESS. And only that man and woman can understand this significance – who is meditating, who is coming closer and closer to the Self – the consciousness.

Such a man, such a woman can relate to KETU – can listen to what it is saying, can follow its directions.

The label on the DOOR says – To open the door – PULL. But you are Pushing and Pushing and Pushing – how will the door open? WHEN JOB is lost – you continue to hit the same spot again and again – WHEN LIFE wants you to explore other opportunities. All your life you have been PUSHING the DOOR – because you know only one way – you have never tried to explore the other way – the way to PULL open the DOOR.

And this is deep and this is something every individual should meditate upon- and this happens only when you have the support of Ketu. Only then you can turn inward – only then you can EXPLORE the many possibilities of OPENING the DOOR.

GOD has been knocking on your DOOR – many times – but what stops you from opening the door is your belief – you believe that there is only one way to open the door – it is your belief that comes in between your EXPERIENCE – and the IRONY of this human world is that people go by BELIEF and NOT by Experiences!

Whenever KETU is in a specific Planet’s nakshatra- Ketu brings NOTHINGNESS to the matters of that planet. Through this NOTHINGNESS- Ketu wants you to PULL the Door and walk out – experience the ultimate FREEDOM from those matters that are ruled by that planet. DETACHED.

One day Mohan came and said “ Addittya, how come I never had a chance to meet my mother.When I was 4, she left me – and then I just know that somewhere she is ALIVE – but neither she contacted me and nor I – so how do you see this happening. Please help me with your insights on this strange happening of my life – the absence – total absence of my MOTHER in my life?

I said “ Mohan – nowadays you have started to think a lot – that is not good. Thoughts become hurdles to your progress in meditation. So beware.”

Mohan said “ But this has been troubling me for many days and months and so your answer will help me to understand and to move on.”

Sometimes you have to answer – Mohan was a close follower – with a strong focus on meditation. Not answering him would have blocked his progress in meditation and so I said “ Mohan, look at your birth chart – open it.”

Mohan opened his birth chart and I said “ Look where your MOON is.”

Mohan said “Moon is in the SIXTH house. But I have many friends who have MOON in the sixth and still they have Mother – there is no absence of Mother in their lives.”

I smiled and said “ Look further…KETU is in which Nakshatra?”

Mohan said “ ROHINI.”

I asked “ Who is the lord of ROHINI Nakshatra?”

Mohan said “ MOON”

I said “ Moon rules the matters related to MOTHER. KETU in MOON’s Nakshatra – is bringing SHUNYATA (EMPTINESS) in the matters of MOTHER.

Further your MOON is also in conjunction with KETU – so again the EMPTINESS related to MOTHER – becomes severe. So in the dictionary of your life – the word MOTHER is absent and will remain absent. So now LET GO – do not get stuck in the matters of MOTHER because KETU wants to liberate you – it is the way of KETU telling you – that MOVE ON – just the way when the doctor pricks the ‘baby’ inside the womb of a pregnant woman – COMES OUT – LIBERATED – FREED – similarly KETU in this life want you to MOVE ON – and NOT get attached to the matter related to MOTHER. Now get on with your life and focus on your MEDITATION.

“Kabir will suggest meditation, Buddha has suggested meditation, I suggest meditation. Meditation is a different approach: it has nothing to do with God, it has something to do with you, with your mind. It has to create a silence within you, a deep utter silence. In that utter silence you will start feeling the presence of God.”

KETU is MEDITATION. And MEDITATION is a LET GO. Understand this – and I specifically appeal to all my close followers and readers – this is very deep.

KETU is Meditation. And Meditation is a LET GO – you will come to the state of SHUNYA – EMPTINESS only when you are able to LET GO – and KETU – the energy of KETU is precisely helping you to LET GO – Mohan was able to LET GO of his attachment with his MOTHER – but not everybody is like MOHAN – they come with questions – but they are NOT willing to or able to FACE the TRUTH – listen to what KETU has to say – to what LIFE has to say!

Understand the FACT – that the ABSENCE that KETU brings – the SHUNYATA (EMPTINESS) that KETU brings is simply to AWAKE you and help you to MOVE ON – it is a clear signal – that you better remain DETACHED from the matters that are connected with KETU – BECAUSE KETU – the MASTER knows that unless you become DETACHED from these matters – you will NOT evolve – you will NOT mature – you will NOT GROW in the true sense!

When KETU is in a positive nakshatra- it simply empowers KETU – and that is a progressive sign for the native. Ketu LOVES Jupiter – he understands that the Master can channelize him in the most effective way. In fact KETU is made for JUPITER – the Master. Ketu is just the way HANUMAN is – always devoted to the Master. Always!

And so when KETU is in VISHAKA NAKSHATRA which is ruled by JUPITER – KETU feels home. Feels comfortable. Had it been any other planet Nakshatra – Ketu would have simply moved its bulldozer on those planet’s and the matters they bring along. But in Vishaka Nakshatra – KETU gets a certain depth – if Jupiter is well placed than this placement can help in spiritual progress of the native.

Always realize the fact that YOU (and when I say YOU – it is meant for not just the questioner but to all my followers and readers) – always realize the fact that YOU can connect with the MASTER – only when there is NO HEAD (KETU)!

You have to ask yourself – what you are? A student or a disciple?

The relation of a Student with the Teacher is of the HEAD.

The relation of a DISCIPLE with the MASTER is of the HEART!

The Disciple can melt into the Master – only when there is NO MIND. Only when he or she has reached the state of NO MIND.

“Meditation is the state of no-mind; no society within you, no conditioning within you – just you, with your pure consciousness.”
-OSHO

In the state of NO MIND – TRUTH descends like a light unto you. Then the Master appears – then the communication between you and the Master happens – and it all happens in SILENCE – deep Silence.

REAL COMMUNICATION HAPPENS IN SILENCE

MIND makes a lot of noise. That is one reason that I stay away from the crowd. A few selective people only I choose – because they are taking efforts to move beyond mind – through meditation.

A talkative person is a headache. This ‘talk’ has led to so many miseries.

Mohan asked “ How?”

I said “ How does a relationship began?”

And Mohan said “ Talk – through talking.”

“That is right – first the man and the woman start ‘talking’ – then they talk more and more – over the phone – in person – and then this talking slowly starts transforming into the first step towards a bonding – a relationship!”

So ‘Talking’ is the first step – and this talking is all of the MIND and the MIND is monkey. The MIND goes on and on and on – and you start feeling that this woman is something – or – this man is something – the MIND is cunning – it knows how to attract through talking – you never know what lies beneath the talking – what is the REAL AGENDA!

And so a common man falls in love through the medium of TALKING – COMMUNICATING. But a YOGI will never fall in love – because a YOGI has least interest in TALKING and moreover he also can easily understand what is hidden agenda behind your talking – your communicating.

KETU dislikes Talking. Rahu likes Talking. A man ruled by RAHU talks a lot – let me tell you all that TALKING or COMMUNICATING can bring fortunes to your material life – and there is absolutely NO DOUBT about this. BUT the more you get inclined towards talking and talking – the more you go on losing your SELF – the more you move away from your SELF. So in the eyes of the world – you become RICH – but within you become poorer and more poorer.

“By talking and talking externally you may be gaining something, but WITHIN you are certainly losing contact with *Yourself*. You are getting closer to people while you are becoming further removed from yourself.
And the more adept you become at this game, the harder it will be for you to go into silence.” – Osho

With folded hands – I therefore insist everybody who want to contact me – that do NOT spend your time and my time in TALKING – just email me and if I can respond I will – because the whole purpose of my sharing with you all – is to help you all MOVE towards your SELF – to MOVE you all towards SILENCE.

“All we need to do is to KEEP QUIET. Peace is our real nature. We spoil it. All that is needed is that we cease to spoil it.”
-Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi

KETU rejoices in SILENCE. The YOGI rejoices in SILENCE. The whole journey of this human life is to move towards SILENCE – and that SILENCE has to be a BLISSFUL Silence – a meditative silence.

Those who cannot understand the TRUTH – will ask you “ Tell me the TRUTH?”

But how can you tell the TRUTH – when the one who is asking is still at the base level – is still an ignorant fellow! Jesus also remained silent – when he was asked at the very last moment when he was put on the CROSS – the Roman Prefect had asked “ What is the TRUTH?”

And Jesus remained silent. He just looked into the Prefect’s eyes – and pure SILENCE. It was Buddhist Silence – because TRUTH can be shared – can be given only if there is a certain depth of UNDERSTANDING!

KETU can help you all – to bring a certain depth of understanding because KETU can TURN you INWARDS and only that man and that woman can have a certain depth – who is turning inwards – who is meditating – who is coming closer to the SELF – the Consciousness!

People are running and running and seeking a MASTER – a real MASTER – my question to them is – Are you ready to become a true disciple?

People want to see KRISHNA – the question is ARE YOU READY TO BE ARJUNA?

Only when you have become a true disciple that you can SEE the Master – Feel his love – Feel his Grace.

The word DISCIPLE is very beautiful – it means one who is ‘Ready to learn’. Discipline means creating a Space for learning. Disciple means one who is Ready to Learn. But when can you learn? Only when you drop all your EGO, your PREJUDICES, your NOTIONS and IDEAS only when YOU BECOME TOTALLY EMPTY – SHUNYA – that you can become a true disciple!

This state of being SHUNYA – EMPTY is what KETU brings – only IF you are able to resonate with its energy – can you develp – grow – in the true sense.

The ‘cup’ is useful ONLY because it is EMPTY! Form is EMPTINESS, EMPTINESS is FORM states one of the most revered Buddhist Texts.

As long as you are PACKED with all the KNOWLEDGE that you have collected all along your life – how can the REAL – the TRUTH penetrate into your being – you are already packed – Housefull.

And so unless there is EMPTINESS – you cannot grow inside out – you may go on repeating the words of Buddha but you will not become a Buddha – to become a Buddha – you have to first become EMPTY – a NOBODY – rejoice in NOTHINGNESS.

KETU when related to Jupiter is always beneficial for spiritual growth – the question is whether you are ready?

And so come, come you all – and realize the fact that this is the only moment – the PAST is NO more – and the FUTURE is not yet – this moment – NOW is the only moment and time is running – you have to decide which way you have to move on with your journey – RAHU or KETU?

What you choose is what you become. You are always free to choose but you are never free from the consequences of the Choice that you make!

So choose wisely – when you look around and you see people who have got exactly what they have wished for – you may get carried away by thinking that they are the ones who are LUCKY – but let me tell you all they are NOT the lucky ones – the lucky ones are those who DO what they are meant to do – who come with a mission – a purpose and work towards making that mission a success, a celebration.

“There are people who get exactly what they want. You think they are the lucky ones, but they are NOT. The LUCKY ones are those who do what they are meant to.” – Neem Karoli Baba

An Army officer fights to save his country – he may lose his life – but he has done what he was meant to do. Such men and women who work for others – whose sole purpose is to DO what they are meant to – are the LUCKY ones and not those who get exactly what they want.

But not everybody can understand this – the majority has become slave of their MIND and the MIND ensures that you never get to the bottom of the TRUTH.

KETU helps you to overcome this Monkey Mind. Through KETU you can detach yourself -and the moment DETACHMENT starts coming over you – you can start experiencing the happiness – the love – the peace you have been seeking all your life.

The key is DETACHMENT. The way is through WITNESSING.

Witnessing is the way. Remain a witness while you do a certain action. Do it without getting attached – if you are feeding someone – feed but by being detached. If you are helping someone – healing someone – do it – but remain a witness – just the way a MILITARY DOCTOR on a battleground does.

What he does? He simply heals the wounded soldiers – one by one. He is NOT attached – he is simply devoted to his ART OF HEALING – he heals one soldier and moves on to the next – and then next and next and next – that’s all! There is absolutely no attachment – whatever he does – he does out of care, out of love – but that love is NOT attached – it moves on to the NEXT – and that’s KETU – KETU heals and HE can HEAL because there is absolute NO ATTACHMENT to what he does. There is absolute NO AGENDA to what he does – there is absolute NO expectations to what he does – he simply does what he is meant to do – and such a man is lucky man – such a man is truly a blessed man says the divine saint Neem Karoli Baba.

KETU is Emptiness. Shunya. Only when you become a Shunya can you WITNESS. Only when you start LETTING GO – can you Meditate. And only when you meditate that you can come to your own realizations – you can heal yourself – and only when you can heal yourself that you can HEAL others! The whole spiritual journey begins from KETU – for the way towards the TRUTH – is within and KETU is the only energy in this whole universe that can encourage you – empower you to look within and begin on the most wonderful journey of your life – the Journey Within.

“You have no need to travel anywhere. Journey within yourself, enter a mine of rubies and bathe in the splendor of your own light.”
~Rumi

The only journey is the JOURNEY WITHIN – and my fellows this is exactly what KETU’s message is – those who can relate to this divine message – can EVOLVE during KETU’s dasha, transits and those who cannot – will simply continue to live a miserable life.

Every Kundli is either inclined towards KETU (LET GO) or RAHU (ATTACHED/CLINGING/HOLDING). And so first comes RAHU KETU and then begins the whole story of planets – that is how critical are these two ENDS – one is HITLER (RAHU) and the other is BUDDHA (KETU) and they are two polarities that can never meet – you cannot say that “ I am a philosopher and I am spiritual” – You are either a PHILOSOPHER (RAHU) or you are pure SPIRITUAL (KETU)!

Philosopher is like a blind man. He simply goes on and on and on – apply a hell of a LOGIC – he may try to figure out how KRISHNA looks – but he has never experienced the divinity of Krishna. He may repeat the words of BUDDHA but he has NEVER EXPERIENCED the divinity the essence of BUDDHA. You see – a philosopher is all logic WITH ABSOLUTE NO REAL EXPERIENCE.

But a Spiritual person and what a beauty he is. He is so simple, so straight and he speaks so less – he is not lost in his PAST and he is NOT worried or thinking about his FUTURE – because he is absolutely aware that PAST is NO MORE and FUTURE is NOT YET – he is perfectly aware that LIFE is flowing NOW – in this PRESENT moment – and so he lives moment to moment – he has absolute NO interest in applying any logic or calculations – he is simply happy to – BE HERE NOW – Meditation happens only when you are able to BE HERE NOW – when your MIND is in your control and is concentrating on this NOW MOMENT. Such a man EXPERIENCES the TRUTH – and so whatever he shares is through HIS OWN EXPERIENCES – he is NOT imagining – he has actually experienced and so a SPIRITUALIST is NOT a philosopher. And a PHILOSOPHER is NOT a spiritualist.

TRUTH is hard – it may hurt – it may lead to collapsing this answer but as long as it remains – it can benefit a few.

You all have to decide your way – if you all ask me than I would say – live your life as an ordinary man or woman. Just be ordinary but let there be so much of Godliness – divinity – worship – selfless service to your being – to your life that you become special – a truly special CHILD OF GOD!

“Be ordinary, but bring a quality of awareness to your ordinary life. Bring God to your ordinary life introduce God into your ordinary life. Sleep, eat, love, pray, meditate, but don’t think that you are making or doing something special-and then you will be special.”

RAHU has dragged you all into the many lustful temptations, greed, low desires, ambitions – you all have gone through this – many must be going through this – and many may be in the waiting list to go through all of this – this RAHU showers plenty of money – just to make you ‘blind’ (ignorant) – then you start doing many mistakes – many foolish decisions – and then when you are tithly caught in RAHU’s grip – which is your ownpast karmic creation – you start feeling utterly miserable – all the doors appear to be closed and there seem to be NO WAY OUT!

But KETU is on the other end – you miss to notice the Master – you miss to realize that while you were totally DRUNK in the abundance of money,power and fame – on the exact other end – a very old man was observing – waiting to see when you will WAKE UP – and the day you WAKE UP – you start moving towards HIS ABODE – then you are truly changing – then you are truly transforming – then there is a song to your life – then the bud starts transforming into a beautiful flower!

That old man – KETU always waits – to see when you WAKE UP. At times he makes someone as common as me – as his medium to WAKE UP some of you – the process continues – like me – the old man has many such mediums – out of million – one may WAKE UP and even that is a great development. There are souls who seek liberation and there are souls who are more interested to SERVE HIM by being HIS Servant – God’s Servant.

I am one of HIS servant. Some of you also maybe His servant. Always remember – A faithful servant never retires. You can retire from your career but you can NEVER retire from the service of GOD!

“If you feel proud, let it be in the thought that you are the servant of God, the son of God. Great men have the nature of a child. They are always a child before Him; so they are free from pride. All their strength is of God and not their own. It belongs to Him and comes from Him.”
-Ramakrishna

Always remember – there is absolutely no reason to FEAR anybody or anything as long as you are walking on the PATH OF TRUTH . The beauty is NOT in advancing spiritually – the real beauty is to LOSE YOURSELF IN HIS LOVE – in HIS DEVOTION – in HIS SERVICE.

“The goal of Krsna Consciousness is not to be spiritually advanced; it is to be servant of Krsna.”
– Radhanath Swami

The best way to find peace, to find bliss, and to experience abundance of Joy – is by losing yourself in the service of others! KETU exactly wants this – that you have to let go all of your ‘ME- ness’ – the ‘I” should fade away.

The Holy Bible emphasis on the fact that unless ‘I’ (the EGO) becomes less – the way out is impossible. The way out is possible only when “I’ becomes lesser and HE (GOD) becomes Greater.

“Top 16 Bible Verses-Becoming more Like Jesus
He must increase, but I must decrease.”
– John

Krishna says to Arjuna – ‘You surrender to ME and I will take care of you.”

Arjuna surrenders. Only a man who is turning inwards can surrender – only a man who is detached can surrender – only a man who is selfless can surrender – only a man who has overcome the monkey mind can surrender – only a man who has become love can surrender – Arjuna surrenders – the question that you all should ask yourself is that – WHY CANNOT YOU SURRENDER?

KETU is all about Letting Go – Ketu is all about SURRENDERING – KETU is all about living your LIFE in TOTAL SURRENDER.

SURRENDER is the most miraculous word. All religions and the scriptures written under this sky simply encourages you to live your life in TOTAL SURRENDER.

“Meditation is a surrender, it is not a demand. It is not forcing existence your way, it is relaxing into the way existence wants you to be. It is a let-go.”
-Osho

After surrendering yourself to existence – to God – there is nothing left to be done. You find your peace, your find your joy and then life starts transforming into a garden of bliss….this is how it happens…..this is the way of its happening.

And so come you all – let us meditate – many lives have gone-by – one more human life has come our way – and so it is for you all to decide what to do with this precious human life – spend it by focusing on the outside OR value it by turning inward and evolving to the higher realms of consciousness.

Finally it all comes down to CONSCIOUSNESS.

KETU is beautiful – KETU is immensely precious – because KETU can make you turn inward and it is only when you start turning inwards that you can come closer to your consciousness!

Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi – the divine Yogi says “ When we turn the mind inwards – God manifests as the inner consciousness.”

To all my followers, readers and fellow travelers – I appeal – everyday morning and evening – spend some quality time with yourself – turn inwards and meditate – meditate and meditate. Just REMEMBER your inner space and go back again and again – your peace is WITHIN you, your happiness is WITHIN you – all you need is to turn the mind’s concentration inward – and meditate.

“To achieve that state of lasting happiness and absolute peace, we must first know how to calm the mind, to concentrate and go beyond the mind. By turning the mind’s concentration inward, upon the self, we can deepen that experience of perfect concentration. This is the state of Meditation.”
-Sivananda

A time should come in your life when you don’t have to meditate anymore – you become meditation! And that is the maturity state of Ketu – that is the real beginning – the ending is always the beginning!

The ‘journey’ never ends, it never can.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

For Ketu – Fame is Foolish. For Jesus – Fame is useless. For Buddha – Fame is a nuisance. But who is willing to listen to the truth? Prophet Muhammed never was interested in Fame.

The divine masters rejoice in their Aloneness. Ketu represents Aloneness. Aloneness is NOT behind FAME. It is a different story if FAME follows aloneness – but ALONENESS never is behind FAME. KETU is never behind Fame.

Only a man who can rejoice in ALONENESS can understand LOVE.

The First Lesson Of Love Is To Learn How To Be Alone.
-Osho

Only a man who find his BLISS in ALONENESS can understand LIFE.

Ketu understands Life. A Yogi understands Life – through Yogic practice – one can understand life.

The divine master – the real Yogi does Love – but their love is detached and because it is detached – it has a certain fragrance, a certain depth.

KETU represents Detachment.

“Attachment is the strongest block to realization.”
– Neem Karoli Baba

The divine masters find their bliss when there is absolute no greed no quest for money – Ketu represents absolute disinterest in Money or Sex or Fame.
KETU IS SIMPLY HAPPY TO BE – LIKE A HEALER – a REFINED KETU (YOGI) continues with his Journey from one place to the other – from one village to the other – HE moves but he moves in his own bliss, his own peace.

The place/territory that BUDDHA moved along came to be known as BIHAR. It is an outcome of two words – BUDDHA & VIHAR – VIHAR means ‘going around’ and so the territory or province in which Buddha moved around came to be known as BIHAR. All that Buddha talks about is India, and by India he meant only Bihar, because he had never gone anywhere else during his lifetime. BIHAR means TOUR – during his lifetime, BUDDHA toured only in that area – that’s why the name became BIHAR. In short – BIHAR means BUDDHA’s tour area.

But the greatest irony is that the people of BIHAR never accepted BUDDHA wholeheartedly – they condemned him, the Brahmins or the Pandas ridiculed his teachings – and so BUDDHA spends his whole life in the land of BIHAR – travelling to many villages and towns of BIHAR – for 40 years he walked around – shared such a wealth of wisdom – so much of love – so much affection – how beautiful this man must be – but that is how this human world is – when the MASTER is on the physical plane – the world never realize HIS worth – and then when his body dies – when he leaves this human world – people start realizing – start building statues and temples and shrines!

It is the greatest irony of this human world that the state that condemned Buddha was later named after HIM – in HIS remembrance!

“The whole of Bihar condemned him. Now the name Bihar is because of him because he walked there. Bihar means: where Buddha walks.”
– Osho

Where BUDDHA walks! Where KETU walks! And what a beautiful man – BUDDHA was.

The only beautiful man who once walked on this planet – and his name was – Gautama Buddha.

Mohan asked “ What was so significant about Gautama Buddha that makes HIM so special – so lovable – so divine – so precious than the entire divinity put together?

Looking into Mohan’s eyes – I said “ Buddha was the only one – a man after many centuries who came to help us all realize that what we seek on the outside – is WITHIN. Buddha showed us the way – he was the only one who helped us to realize that RELIGION begins only when you start TURNING INWARD.”

KETU exactly is what BUDDHA have been saying all his life – and that is – TO TURN INWARD!

And all my close followers and readers are now well aware of the fact that KETU is the WAY – that only KETU can help you to TURN INWARD – MEDITATION is possible only when you have the blessings of SHRI KETU.

And so FAME has nothing to do with KETU – because KETU is NOT interested in wasting time by focusing on the outside – KETU is deeply interested in FOCUSING WITHIN. KETU is the wise energy that helps you realize that FAME IS FOOLISH – FAME cannot help you GROW INSIDE OUT. KETU is that divine energy that lets you realize that FAME, POWER, MONEY, SEX, PLEASURES is NOT the answer that can help you attain the lasting happiness that you seek.

“I hope everybody could get rich and famous and will have everything they ever dreamed of, so they will know that it’s not the answer.”
– Jim Carrey

The questioner is looking for FAME. I hope he gets what he wishes for. In fact I hope that all of you get what you wish for. Just so that at the end of your life – IF YOU BECOME AWARE – IF by any chance you start turning inward – you start meditating – than you would realize – that Its Not the Answer.

But people don’t listen. And they will not because they are destined to go through a certain suite of experiences – until they WAKE UP – until they SELF REALIZE.

There was a young man. He must be like Mohan. Always eager to seek the master. Always in search of a master. And so one fine day – he sets out in search of a real master – a true master. Just outside his village – he find an old man sitting beneath a tree. And he comes to the old man and says “ I am looking for a real master – can you tell me to which direction should I move on? Right or Left?”

The old man was engrossed in his bliss, engrossed in his meditation – his eyes look different – there was a certain grace, and there was so much love in his whole being – looking at the young man, he smiled and said “ Beta – you go towards the right direction….and take care of yourself.”

The young man thanked the old man and set out on his journey – journey to search the master – the real master. And he spent 20 years in searching for the master – but all he found was FAKE masters – FAKE Babas – FAKE Saints – and so finally with frustration he decided to go back to his village.

On his way back – he again came across the same tree – the same old man – and the old man was in his own bliss, seated beneath the same tree – and suddenly the man’s heart moved…..his eyes started flowing with tears – he could NOW realize that – THIS OLD MAN – is my Master – the man rushed, he was running – he was crying – his whole being was shaken – he ran and ran and he came and he fell upon the old man’s feet and he said “ MASTER………….master…master…..”

And the Old man raised him up and said “ Raghu – how long you made me wait….I have been waiting 20 years for you….”

Raghu – was that young man’s name. Raghu said “ You know my name…..you know everything than why you NEVER told me when I met you for the very first time and asked you for direction to seek the master??”

The old man – the divine master smiled and said “ One has to REALIZE by HIS own awareness – it is okay that it took 20 years for you to self realize that I am your Master – I have been waiting for you – 20 years you were looking for the master – and here I was waiting for my Raghu – and see now you have arrived.”

Raghu kissed the hands of the Master and said “But all those 20 years were wasted….”

The Master said “ You are wrong. Those 20 years have not been wasted – those 20 years enabled you to realize what is FAKE – to realize how shallow this human world is – those 20 years brought you to a stage where you COULD differentiate between what is REAL and what is NOT – so how can you say that those 20 years were wasted?”

For everything there is a certain PROCESS through which each one of you has to go through. You may think that the PROCESS was useless – but GOD knows what HE is doing with your life – it is through HIS PROCESS that you evolve – you mature – you self realize – this is how it happens- this is the way of its happening!

It took 20 years for Raghu to realize – who his master is! It may take 50 years for some of you and it may take just 5 minutes for some of you – it all depends on your SELF AWARENESS – the greater the awareness – the greater is the SELF REALIZATION OF the TRUTH.

And KETU brings this SELF REALIZATION.

RAHU makes you go round and round and round – until you start coming back to the source – the master – until you realize that what you had been seeking – was always within you – and not anywhere else!

RAHU will give you FAME – and this FAME will then take away the peace, the joy, the bliss away from you.

KETU will pull you away from FAME – and then once you are in your own secluded place – you can meditate – you can focus within – there is no disturbances – there is no greed that can distract you – there are no temptation that can stop you from meditating and rejoicing in your bliss.

FAME needs extrovert nature – the very basic example of extrovert nature is that of a Journalist. Only when you are loaded with RAHU that you can become a GOOD JOURNALIST. Reporting – NEWS – MEDIA – this all is a perfect place that drives FAME – and it all comes under the influence of RAHU.

This AGE is of RAHU and so MEDIA is very powerful. JOURNALISTS are more empowered than Policemen! They can cause much more harm to you than anybody – that is how the MEDIA is powerful – the POLITICS (SATURN) of today is DRIVEN by the empowered MEDIA (RAHU).

KETU is a simple man. He is BUDDHA, He is Jesus, He is Muhammad – He is Mahavira – He is all that what MEDITATION is – He is all that what spirituality is – and HE is least interested in the affairs of RAHU – of FAME – of WEALTH – of SEX – of Pleasures.

And yet HE is always found to be happy – in his bliss – in his eternal joy, in his eternal peace.

“If you do not find peace within, you will not find it anywhere else. The Goal of Life is the attainment of Peace and not the achievement of power, name, fame and wealth.”
– Sivananda

Ketu gives you Peace. KETU gives you Detachment. KETU ENABLES YOU TO HEAL YOURSELF.

So KETU has absolutely nothing to do when it comes to bringing Fame and Wealth to you. But KETU has a lot to do when it comes to Healing yourself – because it is only when you can heal yourself that you can heal Others! Ketu has lot do when it comes to bringing peace to your heart. Joy to your heart. So YES – KETU has absolutely no role when it comes to giving you Fame and Wealth – BUT KETU can give you those wonderful experiences and journeys that FAME AND WEALTH CANNOT GIVE YOU!

KETU is MEDITATION. And Meditation gives you NOTHING – and yet you are blessed with EVERYTHING!

Buddha was asked, “What have you gained from Meditation?” Buddha replied ” Nothing. However, let me tell you what I have lost: Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Insecurity, Fear of Old Age and Death.”

Unless you become EMPTY – how can you be filled with the DIVINE?
KETU enables the coming of this EMPTINESS!

The inner emptiness is the door to God. – Rajneesh

Emptiness is everything. The Ending is the beginning.

Form is Emptiness. Emptiness is Form states the Heart Sutra – one of the best known ancient Buddhist texts. The essence of all things is Emptiness – Nothingness – and KETU represents the state of Emptiness – the state of Nothingness.

“Knock. And He’ll open the door Vanish. And He’ll make you shine like the sun Fall, And He’ll raise you to the heavens Become nothing. And He’ll turn you into everything.”
– Jalaluddin Mevlana Rumi – عولوم

To meditate is to become NOTHING. It is only when you become a NOBODY that GOD can come to you – LOVE can come to you. If you remain – ‘I am SOMEBODY’ – than Love cannot be experienced in its true sense and God cannot be experienced in its true form.

It is only when you DROP your EGO – you DROP the idea and the illusions that ‘I AM SOMEBODY’ (Rahu energies) – that you can truly realize the energy of KETU – the energy of the divine source.

Evolved souls can benefit themselves through KETU. But souls who are still caught in many temptations – suffer at the hands of KETU. Because KETU wants you to SLOW DOWN, to SIT, to Meditate, to LET GO,to FORGIVE, to DETACH – but a common soul cannot understand the language of KETU. Buddha spends his whole life in helping people to REMEMBER this forgotten language – the language of meditation – the language of Ketu.

HIS last word before his DEATH was SAMMASTI – which means “REMEMBER”. Just REMEMBER your inner space – your inner peace.

“There is nothing to achieve, and there is nothing to become. You are already that which you have been seeking in all your lives in different ways, on different paths. But you have never looked inward. Look in. And whenever you have time, you know the path. Just go again and again to the inner space so that your fear of disappearing is dropped, you start enjoying being nobody, and you start REMEMBERING the forgotton language.” – Osho

But this Truth – not everyone can realize. This language – not everyone can understand. Some of my close followers can but the majority cannot. And so this answer may be collapsed but as long as it remains it can benefit a few.

There are men and women – who want to be spiritual but who also want to become a millionaire. And this is how you all mess up with your life. You either be on this Side or you either be on that Side. You either be on the side of RAHU – OR – you either be on the side of KETU. When you try to find a middle-ground – you end up with absolute disaster!

You either be CONTENT with what you have or you remain a GREEDY man.

And it is perfectly fine to be GREEDY – every man goes through this process – those who remain ‘asleep’ die in ignorance – those who ‘awake’ – become wise!

So it is OKAY if you are GREEDY – a few more hundred lives will come your way – a few million more sufferings – more miseries – more painful experiences.

It is only when are HIT HARD that you WAKE UP. It is only when you DO TOO MUCH – that you realize your foolishness – so being greedy is a process – through every man and every woman goes through – what MAKES THE DIFFERENCE though is – that NOT every man and every woman WAKE UP – they continue to live in utter ignorance – leading them to more RAHU and RAHU and RAHU – until a day comes when you realize that it is TIME to turn inwards – and that’s KETU!

Turning inwards – meditating is KETU.

So whenever someone comes to me – with a desire to become a Millionare, to rise to the TOP – to have more and more power – I wish him luck. Let him Go – Let him be Ambitious – because a DAY WILL COME when such a person will realize that AMBITION is NOT PURE NECTAR but PURE POISON.

But this REALIZATION has to come from within yourself.

It is said that Alexander, the Great was too ambitious by nature. Diogenes the divine saint had said to him “ Enough. Now come and relax with me.Just RELAX. You have conquered ENOUGH. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Now come back Alexander – come back.”

But Alexander was fired up with AMBITION – just like many of you. He said “ Master I will come – but only WHEN I WILL CONQUER the WHOLE WORLD.”

Diogenes had looked at him and said “ Nobody comes back – because this AMBITION NEVER ENDS.”

But Alexander won’t listen. Who wants to listen? Everybody comes with a face to listen – but when the TRUTH comes – they are not willing to FACE – they go back.

Alexander also had to go back to war. HIS AMBITION won’t let him REST in PEACE – until a day came when he died and his body was kept to REST in PEACE.

Neither the whole world was conquered, nor the world within was realized. And if anybody would ask me – than I would say again and again and again that Alexander died as a poor man – an utterly poor man.

AMBITION is a ‘BOTTLE’ of POSION but whose Label says “It is PURE NECTAR”.

This AMBITION won’t let you all rest in peace – you want to run and run and run behind FAME, POWER, MONEY and when Diogenes asks you to come back – you all give the same reason that Alexander had given – he had said “ I will come back – when I am done with my AMBITION – with my desires.”

But he never was able to ‘comeback’ – and that is what happens with every man and woman who is fired up with Ambition. This Ambition is RAHU. And RAHU ensures that you never settle – you continue to run and run and run – until you drop down – taken to the Graveyard and a nice label is placed on your Grave – that says “Rest in Peace.”

And this is the greatest JOKE of human life – when you are ALIVE – you are not in Peace – nobody tells you to take rest – but when you are gone – when you are dead – People place a very nicely decorated label on your grave – ‘Rest in Peace.’!

The TRUTH is – the FACT is that AMBITION never ends – DESIRES never end – after one ambition is achieved – another stands before you – after one desire is fulfilled – a new desire is born – and you are always standing in queue – the queue just never ends!

And the queue will end – only when the DESIRES will be dropped – when AMBITION will be curbed – only then peace is possible, only then joy is possible and this is what KETU is saying – but a RAHU man or woman cannot understand – they continue to ‘debate’ – and debates don’t bring forth the TRUTH. Meditations do.

So come,come you all and let us meditate. Those who are wishing for FAME – let them have it. Those who are wishing for Money – let them have it. Those who are wishing for SEXUAL PLEASURES – let them have it. Those who are wishing for POWER – let them have it – AND those who are wishing for NOTHING SPECIFIC but HIS LOVE and GRACE – only those come with me and sit down and meditate.

The world of RAHU operates at one End.

The world of KETU operates at the other End.

Life begins with RAHU – Birth comes because of RAHU (desires) and Death comes because of KETU – but THIS DEATH is NOT PHYSICAL DEATH – this DEATH is of all your illusions that RAHU creates – it is only when the MASK OF RAHU is dropped that you are REBORN – but to REBORN – DEATH is necessary – this DEATH is the bridge towards the DIVINE TRUTH – the DIVINE BLISS – and therefore Jesus says to Nicodemus that to experience TRUTH – GOD – LOVE – you have to REBORN. And so let this be very clear that ENLIGHTENMENT happens through DEATH – this DEATH is enabled by KETU and if you ask me – then I will say again and again – that such a DEATH is beautiful.

“Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretense. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.”
-Adyashanti

Physical DEATH cannot bring transformation as much as the DEATH of all your illusions that RAHU creates – DEATH of your EGO that your MIND feeds on.

And so such a DEATH comes only to the CHOSEN ONES. Remember – it is GOD who chooses MEN – it is the MASTER who chooses the Disciple.

“GOD CHOOSES FIRST, THEN YOU START FEELING A HUNGER FOR HIM… MEN CAN NOT CHOOSE GOD, IT IS GOD WHO CHOOSES MAN.”
– OSHO

Jesus chooses Peter, the fisherman. How beautiful was Peter – an utterly illiterate man – and yet when he meets Jesus for the first time – the very first time and Jesus says “ Follow Me – I will make you the fisher of Men.” – Peter simply drops everything – everything is dropped – no intellectual questions, no logic – no head – just the heart – just the conscious decision and Peter simply decides to Follow Jesus – and whole life changes – everything around him remains the same- but Peter the fisherman is no more the same – he goes on to become one of the most revered Saints of Christian Faith. Peter, the fisherman transforms into Saint Peter – that is the beauty of FAITH, of PATIENCE, of DEVOTION,of LOVE!

But who wants to listen? Millions and millions of souls are born every moment and every moment millions of them leave the human body – this cycle of birth and rebirth continues – and it simply goes on and on and on – until someday – you develop the qualities of PETER – of ARJUNA – of ANANDA – of SARIPUTTA – then then some change is possible – then the repeating PATTERN of your lives after lives CAN change – the question is – are you WILLING TO?

But people are interested in FAME. WEALTH. SEX.MONEY.POWER. Let it be so.

KETU will never interfere. Understand this – this is significant. KETU will never interfere in your affairs – the MASTER will never interfere – the old man never interfered – he never told RAGHU – the TRUTH. HE let Raghu go his way to seek the MASTER – when in reality he himself was his Master! HE never told him the Truth – he let him self-realize the truth and just for that – he waited 20 years beneath the same tree! How beautiful – is the heart of the master – how can I express – I am speechless – I am truly speechless.

The GURU – the master always lets you have your way – that is the way of the True Master – the Real Master.

“If you come to doubt, I’ll give you every reason to doubt. If you come suspicious, I’ll give you every reason to be suspicious. But if you come seeking Love, I’ll show you more love than you’ve ever known.”
-His Holiness Mahavatar Babaji

Fame is short-lived. Wealth is short-lived. But what can be experienced for eternal is the BLISS, the JOY, the PEACE – WITHIN and yes – KETU bestows upon you all of this – that is ETERNAL in nature and NOT Short-lived.

Rahu gives all that is short-lived.
Ketu gives all that last for eternal.

Understand the difference. Savor the difference.

Life is short. Active years of life are even more short. It is for you all to decide which way you want to go. The Way of Rahu is open. The Way of Ketu is also open. What you choose is what you become. You are always free to make a CHOICE – but you are NEVER free from the consequences of the choice that you make!

My father was a famous man in the late 80s – but his fame was short lived – he died when he was 47. He must have had planned many things – but he wasn’t aware of what is to happen the next moment. Fame is NOT the answer – people think that FAME is the answer to all miseries – but let me tell you all – it is the other way round – FAME brings many miseries than otherwise – it is a HARD TRUTH – very few could resonate with, but I thought why not share the real thing!

And so REAL is what we all have to be. The society is FAKE – filled with a majority of hypocrites – and the more the REAL you will Be – the more you will be condemned, banned, ridiculed. Always remember – Jesus was crucified by this same society – Muhammed was forced to leave Mecca by this same society – Buddha was ridiculed and offended by this same society – Sai Baba was ridiculed and offended by this same society – Sant Dyaneshwar was outcasted by this same society – that’s the way of this human world – if Saints could not get away with it – what to say about you or me.

Many times it happens – people come, then they say “ I understand everything that you are saying – BUT……”

You see – this BUT never goes away – and I can understand this BUTs – the desire is there – the ambition is always there – and that is perfectly fine. After all this human birth is because of certain desires, certain ambitions – I always tell “ Do whatever your heart wish to as long as you don’t cause harm to anybody.”

Follow your Hurt – attain all the Fame and whatever you all have wished for births after births – until a days comes, until a moment comes – when there will be NO Buts – when you will simply be able to say “ I understand.”

That will be the moment of your transformation – that will be the day when you all will be REBORN – that will be the day when the flowering will happen – when the blossoming of your inner being will begin – God will wait for that day – the master will wait for that – the old man waited for 20 long years – the master can always wait – there is absolutely No rush – you all can have your RIDE – until you self-realize – what is TRULY beneficial for your GROWTH – until you all self-realize – WHAT is REAL GROWTH.

The whole story of human life is between the two ends of RAHU and KETU – the journey of birth begins from RAHU (Focusing outside) – and should move towards KETU (Focusing Within)- that is the true sign of progress – that is the true mark of REAL GROWTH.

Jesus says – Nobody is Late – even if you arrive in the ‘evening’ – you will be provided with the same wages (blessings). Even if you are too much caught into the desires (Rahu) AND you have realized lately your foolishness – and you have started turning inwards – overcoming the desires – the temptations – then you are also not late – you are welcome – you will be provided with the same Grace – the same Blessings. In the KINGDOM OF GOD – there is absolutely no discrimination between who is Early and who is Late – as long as you come – as long as you start moving towards the Direction of Ketu – turning inwards – meditating and taking efforts to realize your SELF.

“No one succeeds without effort… Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance”
– RAMANA MAHARSHI

KETU encourages you to keep going WITHIN – to meditate – to LOOK WITHIN.

If God comes and ASKS “What you want – RAHU or KETU? FAME or BLISS? LOGIC or LOVE? HEAD or HEART? Ignorance or Consciousness?”

Then what will be your Answer?

Your answer will define your FUTURE. And GOD has been asking you all – the same question – birth after birth….

What you are experiencing this life is based on the ANSWER that you have chosen. If you want to raise the quality of your life – then the ANSWER need to be REVISED – ask yourself and I say it to you all – ask yourself – Are you ready to revise the ANSWER?

The current course of your life can be REVISED only when you are ready to REVISE the ANSWER that you have been giving all your births after births.

The Master appears when the Student is READY says Lao Tzu – the divine master.

Your READINESS is important for you to realize the true essence of life. My sharing, my answer is simply to help you all – Find the right Answer.

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

If you cannot understand KETU, you cannot understand LIFE. If you cannot understand a BIRD, you cannot understand the true essence of FREEDOM. Freedom is the ultimate experience of life. There is nothing higher than that. And out of freedom many flowers blossom in you.

Life can be experienced in the true sense only when you are FREE – when you can FLY without a VISA!

Reminds me of a beautiful Hindi Song:

पंछी नदिया पवन के झोंके

कोई सरहद ना इन्हें रोके

सरहदें इन्सानों के लिए हैं

सोचो तुमने और मैने क्या पाया इन्सां हो के

पंछी नदिया पवन के झोंके

कोई सरहद ना इन्हें रोके……

The song lyric simply shares the fact that BIRDS, RIVERS, WIND – nobody can stop them, no border of any country – no boundaries can stop them – they are FREE in the true sense – no borders and no boundaries exist for them but they exist only for humans. Only humans have build walls and set borders – borders are only for humans – then tell me what have we achieved by being a human?

KETU sets your FREE. KETU knows no boundaries and no borders. Because Ketu is all about being in a NO MIND state. Only MIND goes on building walls and borders and limitations and conditions – only mind discriminates- the moment you attain the state of NO MIND – you become the river, the cool breeze, the bird who simply knows nothing of borders, and boundaries – and that is indeed the true FREEDOM. FREEDOM has to well up from within.

“Freedom can only be found within.”

 

The more you move away from your MIND – the more you would be able to sail smoothly during the KETU Mahadasha. Clinging is the nature of the MIND – and KETU wants you to LET GO!

“letting go is hard, but sometimes Holding on is harder.”

 

KETU MAHADASHA will become a HELL if and only if you continue to HOLDING ON. ATTACHMENTS is the reason – because of being attached too much to the matters of life (children, wife, husband, sex, love, power, money) – you find it difficult to LET GO – and you continue to HOLDING ON. And the more you continue to HOLDING ON – the more you yourself will invite more miseries during KETU MAHADASHA.

 ” SOME OF US THINK HOLDING ON MAKES US STRONG, BUT SOMETIMES IT IS LETTING GO.”
-Herman Hesse

 

When you are willing to LET GO – when you are willing to DROP your MIND, when you are willing to FORGIVE and FORGET – only then KETU MAHADASHA can truly become a wonderful journey that brings much wisdom to your being.

Have you ever observed the trees in the winter – how wisely they LET GO the leaves – all the leaves fall just so that the tree can give birth to absolutely BRAND NEW leaves – that is how you all should be – especially during KETU MAHADASHA – let all the leaves fall – because through this FALL – through this LOSS – a new life is soon going to be born – fresh, and alive!

During the autumn season – the trees LET GO all its leaves and looks like this – complete SHUNYA – ZERO. KETU MAHADASHA is the season of Autumn.

After the AUTUMN season is over – SPRING arrives. And it is in the season of SPRING that the trees start flowering again, giving birth to fresh new green leaves. This season of SPRING is the season when your VENUS MAHADASHA begins! It is the end of AUTUMN (KETU) and the beginning of SPRING (VENUS MAHADASHA)!

But unless all the leaves fall – unless everything is CLEANSED – how can the new leaf – the new fresh flowers arrive??? So you see – that is why KETU MAHADASHA is of immense significance. The whole CLEANSING PROCESS happens only during the AUTUMN season – during the KETU season – during KETU MAHADASHA!

Tears of suffering and struggles are a cleansing shower for the Soul.

 

Once you have been through the suffering phase during KETU MAHADASHA then the cleansing happens – but this cleansing of body, mind and soul can remain intact only if you take to meditation.

“Let prayer come after meditation. You meditate. Meditation will prepare your heart, it will cleanse you. It will cleanse you of your thoughts, it will throw out all the rubbish that you have been carrying in your head for ages, for lives; it will make space for prayer to happen. Meditation is like preparing the ground for a rosebed: prayer is like a rose. First you have to prepare the ground, you have to remove the weeds, you have to change the soil, you have to throw out all the stones.”
-Osho

 

The GROUND (FOUNDATION) of a new life – a purified life is prepared only during the KETU MAHADASHA – my fellows – only during KETU MAHADASHA or GURU MAHADASHA. KETU therefore is the RIGHT HAND of GURU – the Protector, the Provider, the Master!

It is always the Master who chooses His Disciple. The Disciple cannot choose the master – it is the master who chooses his disicple – that is how Jesus chooses his 12 Apostles (disciples). That is how Krishna chooses Arjuna. That is how Buddha chooses Mahakasyapa, Ananda, Sarriputta!

In the MAHADASHA of MERCURY you have been too logical – you have been using TOO MUCH OF YOUR HEAD – and by using your HEAD and your LOGIC – you become a ROBOT. You become MECHANICAL. And when you become like a ROBOT – you start losing an opportunity to create meaning of life.

“LIFE IN ITSELF HAS NO MEANING. LIFE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE MEANING.”
-OSHO

 

You may earn good money during MERCURY MAHADASHA but you find meaning of life only during KETU MAHADASHA. And KETU Mahadasha comes after Mercury MAHADASHA – that indeed is a beautiful way of GOD – telling you that ENOUGH is ENOUGH – now WAKE UP else it will be too late!

It is only in KETU MAHADASHA that you WAKE UP – you come back to your senses – you become AWARE! And once awareness comes – then you are no more the same – you transform, you evolve – you rise from the ashes – just the way the phoenix rises from ashes!

 

 

The phoenix is a beautiful symbolic figure that signify the KETU MAHADASHA through which you RISE – you TRANSFORM – you MATURE – you EVOLVE!

the phoenix In times of doubt and confusion, it symbolizes strength, transformation and renewal. For only from the ashes of who we were, can we rise up to become who we’re to be.

 

And that is the whole essence of this beautiful transformative period of KETU MAHADASHA my fellows! It is the time when you become what you are supposed to BE – a wise man!

“Wisdom comes alone through suffering.”
-Aeschylus

 

KETU may bring suffering – but this suffering is a blessing in disguise my fellows – for it is this suffering that eventually transform you into a beautiful wise person!

KETU is the process of attaining freedom – liberation – moksha! And liberation, freedom comes only through DETACHMENT. KETU is just another word for DETACHMENT. KETU is the synonym of DETACHMENT!

“The essence of the Way is detachment.”
Bodhidharma

 

When a baby is about to come out of the womb – he or she goes through tremendous pain. This phase is painful because the baby has always been clinging to his mother – but now he has to come out of her womb! KETU PERIOD is just like that – the pain is to make you free – make you independent – make you detached. And the moment the doctor CUTS the cord between the baby and the mother – the baby is BORN in the true sense. The real birth time is when the Umbilical Cord is cut and the baby becomes free – independent. The experience of BIRTH happens only when the cord is cut – when the baby is detached from the mother! KETU is DETACHMENT. Through this DETACHMENT a new life begins – and so it is natural that when the Umbilical Cord is cut – you will find it painful but remember this cutting the cord is necessary for you to REBORN!

This is how you feel when you come out of KETU MAHADASHA (the painful process of coming out of the mother’s womb) – but see now everybody is smiling – even the baby knows – he is out and he is free to take the first breath of his or her life! This is the very FIRST physical detachment through which a NEW LIFE begins!

And then comes the SECOND BIRTH – the SPIRITUAL BIRTH – the real detachment when you are chosen by the compassionate benevolent Master! The FIRST BIRTH is through the MOTHER (it is painful) – but through that pain you attain a new life – a physical form. The SECOND BIRTH is through the MASTER (it is painful) – but through that pain you are REBORN – and experience the higher realms of consciousness – the SECOND BIRTH is indeed the SPIRTUAL BIRTH!

“One birth is from mother and father, another birth is from the Guru, the Master. You are again in another womb, a spiritual womb. You have to close accounts with your physical womb completely. You have to drop all hang-overs with your physical birth so you can be totally here now with the master.” – Osho

 

That is the whole message of KETU – DROP ALL THE HANG-OVERS with your physical birth and just BE WITH THE MASTER. You can do your business or job – but ensure that you remember HIM – ensure that you meditate – ensure that you DO NOT indulge in any corrupt practices – if you follow these simple guidelines then KETU MAHADASHA will be a great transformative period of your life!

But who wants to listen?

People are shallow and they just want more sex, more woman, more money, more power – and when they continue with this way of life then it is natural that they will go through a HELL TIME during KETU MAHADASHA! So it all DEPENDS on YOU – how much evolved your soul is – how much awareness is within you.

KETU is the greatest energy of this UNIVERSE. Enlightenment is possible only through KETU. Because KETU is all about being detached. KETU is all about being spiritual. KETU is all about turning inwards. Even when you do SEX during KETU MAHADASHA – then it is no more just a physical sex – it has more to it than just being physical – it has the purpose of attaining the experience of ONENESS – it is more TANTRA SEX then just a normal sex. TANTRA SEX is very special act. It is an act of sex – where first both partners worship each other – the man worships the woman as a GODDESS. The woman worships the man as GOD and then they make love – intense love through which they attain a prolong orgasm – and since the whole foundation this wonderful act of sex is spiritual – they experience the ONENESS. Remember – KETU NEVER denies SEX. There are millions and millions of men and women who have a strong KETU in 7th house and still they had the maximum sexual pleasures in life! So KETU never denies sex – KETU spiritualizes SEX! When you worship the woman as GODDESS and then have sex with her – when you worship the man as GOD and then have sex with him – then there is NO sexuality in it – there is only LOVE! And when sex happens out of intense LOVE – then there remains no sex but only love!

Always remember – LOVE unites. SEX divides. The word SEX comes from a root which means division. Sex is the root cause of division.

“When you make sex to a person, woman or man, you think it unites you. For a moment it gives you the illusion of unity and then a vast division suddenly comes in. That’s why, after every sex act, a frustration, a depression sets in. One feels that one is so far away from the beloved. Sex divides, and when love goes deeper and deeper and unites more and more, there is no need for sex. Your inner energies can meet without sex, and you live in such a unity.” – Osho

 

KETU MAHADASHA is the perfect time to experience the much deeper aspects of sex – if you are a married person or in a relationship!

The very myth that SEXUAL relation can unite you more with your partner – is a myth. Sex never unites – only LOVE unites. So if LOVE is there only then your marriage or relationship will last – because a relationship based on SEX always comes with an “expiry date”!

The whole beauty of KETU is that KETU spiritualizes your SEX LIFE. KETU MAHADASHA is a beautiful time to experience the spiritual side of SEX – to transform SEX into something of the BEYOND!

“Love can give a new soul to sex. Then the sex is transfigured, it becomes beautiful; it is no longer sex, it has something of the beyond in it. It has become a bridge.”
-Osho

 

So the very first lesson you should learn is that KETU during his MAHADASHA will NOT deny you the sexual pleasures you seek – only if there is the essence of LOVE in your act of sex! However if you are just being horny and trying to get in the bed for having sex – then such a sex is ugly and then KETU MAHADASHA will definitely give you much pain in the matters of sex. So it all depends – the whole essence is that KETU wants you to STOP being a ROBOT and bring more ALIVENESS to your being and one becomes ALIVE only when you start becoming SPIRITUAL!

“Spiritual awakening – is becoming awake to the aliveness of this moment.”
-Eckhart Tolle

 

KETU MAHADASHA therefore is a wonderful period of self-transformation for those who are becoming SPIRITUAL – who are bringing the wonderful essence of spirituality in every act of their life – from SEX to PRAYERS – from TREES to TABLES – from HEAD to HEART!

Did I say HEAD to HEART? Because nothing can explain as beautifully as this phrase – HEAD to HEART!

That is exactly what KETU wants – my fellows – to move from your LOGICAL HEAD to your LOVABLE HEART! What is meditation? It is a journey from HEAD to HEART!

Beautiful.

And so all those men and women — are idiots who defame KETU – it is not KETU who is frustrating you – it is your own idiocy – it is your utter ignorance – it is your unwillingness to listen to what LIFE has to say is what makes you frustrated during KETU MAHADASHA.

“Don`t be angry at life.
It is not life that is frustrating you, it is you who are not listening to life.”
-OSHO Touch your Life

 

Listening to life means living with ACCEPTANCE – Tathata. Someday you should read my book “Beauty of Acceptance – Tathata”. It is only when you live with Acceptance that you can find peace, and you can progress in life. The more you rebel – the more you are unwilling to ACCEPT – you will remain stuck and a man who remains stuck can NEVER move on.

During KETU MAHADASHA – you have to simply realize the fact that all the BAD KARMA that you had indulged in the past are NOW in for deep cleansing. And cleansing can cause pain – but it is worth it.

“Sometimes God allows us to cry to cleanse our eyes with tears so we can clearly see the good things coming.”

Only a man who can cry – only a woman who can cry – are the most beautiful beings on this planet. Remember – NEVER BE ASHAMED OF YOUR TEARS – because only a man of heart can cry – only his eyes can become wet – tears of self-realization, tears of joy can flow only through such a man’s eyes.

“Never be ashamed of your tears. Be proud that you are still natural. Be proud that you can express the inexpressible through your tears.”
-Osho

 

Tears are the most valuable treasures.

Reminds me of a beautiful story that moved my heart and brought tears to my eyes – who knows, it may bring tears to your eyes as well!

Uddalak was a great sage, a learned scholar. Many Kings and Queens would send their sons and daughters to attain higher education under the able guidance of Sage Uddalaka.

But one day a very poor boy came and fell at Sage Uddalaka’s feet. He said “My name is Satyakam Jabal and I have come from faraway land just to attain education under your guidance. Please accept me as your disciple.”

Sage Uddalaka asked “Who is your Father? First I need to know your family.”

Satyakam was a simple boy. He said “Many men have used my mother because I was poor. So I don’t know who is my father. All I know is that my name is Satyakam, and my mother’s name is Jabala: so they call me Satyakam Jabal. And as far as the search for truth is concerned – it doesn’t matter who my father is.”

Sage Uddalaka stood up. Never had he seen such a student – so straight, so simple, so pure! Looking into the eyes of Satyakama – Sage Uddalaka said “I will accept you. It does not matter who your father is. What matters is that you are authentic, sincere, unafraid – capable of saying the truth without feeling embarrased. Your mother has given you the right name, Satyakam. Stayakam means one whose only desire is truth. You have beautiful mother, and you will be known as Satyakam Jabal. And the tradition is that only Brahmins can be accepted as disciples. I declare you a Brahmin – because only a Brahmin can have the courage of such truth.”

Those were the most beautiful days – when the GURU used to decide the caste based on the quality of the student!

In a way we all are Shudra – because the state of BRAHMIN comes only when you attain SELF REALIZATION.

Satyakam soon became the most favorite student of Sage Uddalaka. He deserved it – he was so pure so innocent. But after ten years when Satyakama had attained all the knowledge – Sage Uddalaka said “Satyakam – “Whatever I have been telling you is knowledge gathered from the scriptures. It is not my own. I have not experienced it; I have not lived it. I suggest that you go deeper into the forest. I know a man who has realized – he is one of the greatest enlightened master. Go to him. And come back only when you attain self realization. When you go to him – tell him that you have come to know Truth, to know LOVE, to know GOD.”

Satyakam sets out in search of the enlightened master. After many months – he finds the master. And the master is seated beneath the tree and there are many student seated before Him. Satyakam rushes towards the master – and fell upon the master’s feet. Tears of joy started flowing through his eyes – his joy knew no bound. He said to the master “I have come to know the Truth. I have come to know LOVE. I have come to know GOD….”

The master looked into Satyakam’s eyes – and Satyakam’s joy knew no bound. How deep were those eyes, how beautiful, how compassionate, and so much of love was in those eyes – Satyakam was deeply moved. The master said “It is possible, but you are asking something very difficult. There are so many disciples here – they all want more knowledge. They want to know about this and about that. But if you insist that you are not interested in information that you are ready to do anything, that your devotion to truth is total then I will find a way for you.”

Satyakam said “I am ready to sacrifice my life but I cannot go without knowing the truth. Neither can I go to my teacher nor can I go to my mother who has given me the name Satyakam. And my teacher accepted me without knowing whether I was a Brahmin or not, just on the simple grounds that I was truthful. Tell me what has to be done.”

The master said “Take all these cows that you see here, take them into the deep forest. Go as deep as possible, so you don’t come in contact again with any human being. The purpose is that you forget language, words. Live with the cows, take care of the cows, play on your flute, dance – but forget words. And when the cows have grown to the count of one thousand, come back.”

The other disciples could not believe what was happening – because there were just a dozen cows. How long is it going to take for them to become one thousand?

But Stayakam took the cows, went as deep as possible into the forest, beyond human contact, beyond human context. For a few days it was difficult but slowly slowly he got used to it. The cows were his only company. And they are very silent creatures. He played on the flute, he danced alone in the forest; he rested under the trees.

For a few years he continued to count the cows. Then by and by he dropped it, because it seemed impossible that they would become one thousand. And moreover he was forgetting how to count, language was disappearing. Words disappeared; counting could not be saved.

And the story is so enchanting that it is said that cows became worried when they became one thousand, because they wanted to go back home and this man had forgotten how to count. Finally the cows decided, “We have to speak, otherwise this lonely forest is going to become our grave.”

So one day the cows caught hold of him and told him “Listen Satyakam, we are now one thousand and it is time to go back home.”

Satyakam said “I am very grateful to you. If you had not told me…I had even forgotten about home or about returning. Each moment was so tremendously beautiful -so many blessings. In the silence, flowers went on showering. I had forgotten everything. I had no idea why I had come here, who I am. Everything had become an end in itself: playing the flute was enough, resting under the trees was enough, seeing the beautiful cows sitting silently all around was so beautiful. But if you insist, we should return.”

Satyakam embarked on his journey back home. And the disciples of the great master saw him coming with one thousand cows. They reported to the master “We have never believed that he would come back. He is coming and we have counted exactly one thousand cows. He is coming!”

And when he came, he stood there – just in the crowd of cows.

The master said to other disciples “You counted wrong, There are one thousand and one cows; you forgot to count Satyakam! He has moved beyond your world, he has entered into the innocent, the silent, the mysterious. He is not syaing anything, he is just standing there as cows are standing there.”

The great master said “Satyakam, come out. Now you have to go to your other master who sent you here. He is an old man and he must be waiting. Your mother must be waiting.”

And when Satyakam came back to Sage Uddalaka, his first teacher – Uddalaka saw him from the window again and he ran out of the back door because now Satyakam cannot be allowed to touch his feet, now Uddalaka would have to touch Satyakam’s feet. Because Uddalaka was still a scholar, and Satyakam was coming not as a scholar but as one who is awakened.

Sage Uddala escaped from the house – he said to his wife “I cannot face him. I am ashamed of myself. Just tell him that I am dead and he can go now to his mother. Tell him I died remembering him.””

Teachers during those time were of different mettle – they were simply very very beautiful beings, honest fellows.

And so Satyakam went back to his mother. The mother had become very old, but she waited and waited and waited. And when Satyakam came – she could not stop crying – those were the tears of joy – she could see the glow – she could sense the fragrance that lingered around him – she could see that her son has transformed – that he has become a BUDDHA – an enlightened being. Looking at him, she said “You have proved Satyakam, that truth is always victorious. And you have proved that a brahmin is NOT born, a brahmin is a quality to be achieved. Everybody by his birth is a SHUDRA, because everybody’s birth is the same. One has to prove by purifying himself, by crystallizing himself, by becoming centered and enlightened, that he is a brahmin. Just to be born into the family of a brahmin does not make you a brahmin.”

So deep and so true to the core!

The KETU MAHADASHA is the period when you go deep into the forest (meditation) – when you rejoice in your aloneness (detachment) – when you keep good company – SATSANG (holy cows) – when you forget all about counting and calculations and instead devote yourself at the feet of the Lord – it is a period when you become one of those 1000 cows – that is how beautifully the cleansing and the learning and the enlightening is possible during KETU MAHADASHA!

The city JABALPUR is named after SATYAKAM JABAL – a beautiful man, a great master who lived with the cows and became just like a cow – holy, innocent, beautiful, lovable!

RAHUISH men – extrovert people who are continuosly running behind power, money and sex will find KETU MAHADASHA difficult.

But KETUISH men – meditative men, men of heart will find the KETU MAHADASHA a turning point – a transformative period of their life!

It all depends on WHAT YOU ARE FROM WITHIN. The more IGNORANT you are (RAHUISH) the more you will perceive and experience KETU DASHA as some kind of punishment.

And the more AWARE you are the more you will perceive and experience self-growth, self purification, self transformation during KETU MAHADASHA!

Therefore I always say – NEVER ask anyone – “How Canada is or How Australia is?” Because the answer you will get is totally individual based. It is based on how a certain individual perceives – and perception is based on what you are from within! There are many men and women who have evolved and become wise during KETU MAHADASHA and there are many greedy idiots who keep blaming KETU for their own foolishness and ignorance.

During KETU MAHADASHA – :

1. Scale down your expectations. Frustration comes because of expectations.
2. Move towards raising the quality of your life by turning inwards. By embarking on the spiritual path.
3. Learn the lessons of your life and instead of whining and complaining and torturing GOD – be GRATEFUL to GOD – that you were cleansed and that you were the chosen one. Because GOD tests only those whom HE loves.

Remedies during KETU MAHADASHA:

1. Fasting on Wednesdays. Worshipping Lord Ganesha every Wednesday.
2. Donating plain notebooks, pen, pencil, to needy students.
3. Chanting any one of the following mantras every day:

• “Aum Gam Ganapataye Namaha”
• “Aum Namo Naryanaya”
• “Aum Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya Namaha”
• “Aum Ram Krishna Hari”
• “Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram”

Never wear a CATS EYE gemstone during KETU MAHADASHA unless your KETU is in ASHWINI, MULA or MAGHA Nakshatra.

The only gemstones that you can wear during KETU MAHADASHA are:

1. Yellow Sapphire – Highly effective stone, positivity, optimism, blessing.
2. Pink Sapphire – Brings more love, more understanding, more caring to your being.
3. Pink Topaz – Keeps you going. You become more accommodating. Helps you realize the significance of ACCEPTANCE. A wonderful positive beautiful stone.
4. Yellow Topaz – Encourages you to stay optimistic, light hearted, helps you to relax and take it easy.
5. Rose Quartz – Romantic, lovable, caring, nurturing – all these qualities gets a boost when you don a Rose Quartz.
6. Real Pearl (Moti) – KETU is detachment but if the individual is less evolved soul then he may not understand the higher purpose of KETU and may just go into depression and so to keep the MIND – alive – MOTI or REAL PEARL is necessary. Wear it if you can afford it because real pearls are very expensive. The alternative affordable stone to Real Pearl is Moonstone.

A very important message especially to all my close followers – and the message is simple. Truth is always simple – the message is “During KETU MAHADASHA just focus on purifying your day to day life – by reciting the holy mantras, the shlokas and HANUMAN CHALISA. Nobody is stopping you from earning money as long as your needs are to be addressed. But if you start running behind your WANTS then KETU will take you to task. So remain humble. Remain grounded and recite HANUMAN CHALISA every morning and night before you go to sleep.”

“Every line of the Hanuman Chalisa is a Mahamantra.”
-Neem Karoli Baba

 

The many beliefs that one should not have sex or should not marry during KETU MAHADASHA is all FAKE. KETU has absolutely NO INTEREST in how many women or men you sleep with. Because the more you become IMMORAL – UNETHICAL – the more you will suffer during the period of BUDDHA (KETU). Have you ever seen a haunted man or women? What happens when you bring them in a holy place of worship – temple or church? They start getting the beating, the pain – NOT because the TEMPLE is at fault but because they are utterly corrupted within! Similarly KETU or BUDDHA MAHADASHA is like a TEMPLE or CHURCH – a holy time – but if you remain unholy and corrupt then it is natural for you to SUFFER!

Always remember – BLACK MAGIC or GHOSTS have been existing in this human world from the very beginning of time. If you want to prevent yourself from the spells of black magic – then you should FOCUS on purifying yourself from within. The more you purify – the more you can overcome black magic spells. It is so simple – but who wants to listen?

And so then comes the many fools – who simply don’t understand the simplicity of life!

I always like simple man. Simple woman. Have you been to Maharashta? Have you read about the WARKARI? WARKARI is a sect initiated by one of the greatest Saint – Sant Dyaneshwar. It is a sect of very common people – farmers, poor farmers, laborers – they are called WARKARI because every year in the month of July – they embark on a 400+ km journey — by foot. The journey begins from a place called ALANDI and ends at PANDHARPUR. These are very simple men and women – nowadays many fake people have also arrived in this sect – but still the essence of the matter is that simplicity is what GOD loves. Only a simple man is a man of heart – he may be poor or rich – but he is very much grounded – he is very much humble and he is very much aware of the truth – that life is a constant change and one should never get depressed in failures and one should never let the EGO get into his head when he is driving at the peak of his career.

GURU uses KETU to help you overcome attachments. To help you cleanse yourself – inside out. And then when you become an evolved being – a wise man – then you start doing good karma and that is how your SATURN (SHANI) starts improving – since SATURN signify the KARMA!

So you see – everything is connected my fellows – Everything is connected – the switch is plugged in – all you need is to press the button – all you need is to switch on the button and then the journey begins – the journey WITHIN.

“The only journey is the journey within.”
-Rainer Maria Rilke

 

Close your eyes. Stop worrying about this world. And turn inwards. There is a much beautiful world within you – start exploring – close your eyes, fall in love – and stay there.

The message of KETU is “Turn inwards. Let Go” If you can listen and implement this message in your life then and only then you can truly evolve during KETU MAHADASHA – only then you can transform into a beautiful butterfly – only then you can become one from those one thousand and one cows – the way Satyakam became. Then you will dance, then you will play your music, then you will not bother who says what – that is the whole message of Sri Ketu my fellows – Just BE YOURSELF.

Love – to all my readers and followers. Stay positive. Stay optimistic. And Stay blessed.

Always remember – the whole world may abandon you – but the master accepts you – HE never forgets you. You may forget Him but HE will never forget you.

“You can leave me. I won’t leave you. Once I catch hold of you, I don’t let go.” – Neem Karoli Baba

 

The love of the master is beyond the power of expression. Only those who have become disciples can relate to such a pure love – unconditional love that goes on sharing, loving and caring!

Remember – if you take one step towards the master – the master will take one thousand steps towards you. It is only your longing for the master that will drive him towards you and then you don’t have to search for Him – HE will come in search of YOU!

Buddha says “ I never plan my journeys – my legs start moving towards those who are thirsty for my words, for my love, for my blessings.”

The state of NO MIND is the state of KETU. The state of NO MIND is the state of BUDDHA. Only a Buddha can relate to the beauty of KETU – without KETU there is no enlightenment – the whole humanity owes a BIG TIME to KETU – I prostrate before Sri KETU – may HIS blessings continue to shower upon us.

Jai Sri Ganesha. Jai Guru. 🙏
