Post-Eclipse: 25 March Insights

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Moon signify Mind. And we all are minds. When you communicate with each other – it is your mind that communicates. When you laugh, when you cry, when you are angry, when you are jealous, when you are lustful, when you are sexual – it is the mind. The mind rules over you and as well as the whole human world. And so the very first point to note is that Mind signify the general public. If you are a social figure or public figure or if you have to deal with lots of people – then the post lunar eclipse impact can led you to some sudden challenges and troubles. So you need to beware and keep yourself mentally prepared.

When you seek fame – when you want to become famous – it is necessary that your Moon has a certain contact with the 7th house, 7th house lord, 3rd house, 3rd house lord or 11th house, 11th house lord. This is because 3rd, 7th and 11th house are directly connected with communication, partnership and networking. Additionaly since these houses are also connected with intellecualism, skill and talent – they become crucial when it comes to attaining fame or popularity.

Moon signify home, mother and all kind of conveyances such as car, or bike. And so the Lunar Eclipse can impact the overall domestic environment as well as can also cause certain mental stress to your mother. Some may even experience troubles in their car or bike.

Psychological issues, mental anxiety, depression or frustration is commen after the Lunar Eclipse occurs since the Eclipse afflicted moon leads to such mental issues. If you already have challenging moon conjunction or placement in your chart then you may become more sensitive and more reactive after the Lunar Eclipse event.

Psychological issues are triggered due to emotional upheavels. I remember a young man’s case. He was in love with a woman – and their relationship lasted for three years and then one fine day she left him. And the man till date is on pills. He went through such a difficult emotional setback that it led him to many psycological issues. Emotions come under the domain of Moon. And so after this Lunar Eclipse of 25th March – it is likely that some of you may go through certain difficult emotional sagas.

Moon signify change and fluctuations in life. And so this lunar ecllipse will definetly bring a certain change in your life. This change could be in your overall mindset and can lead to a change in your perspective towards certain matters of your life. As well as this change can also mark a significant relocation or change of residence for many of you. So after this Lunar eclipse – you should remain open to the idea of change – remember life is constant change – one who remains open to change – grows in life.

Around 70% of human body contains water in the form of blood. And Moon rules over the water. That is why you see high tide and low tide based on the phases of the moon. And so after this Lunar Eclipse of 25th March – some of you may face some health issues related to blood and lympatic system. Check your Blood pressure regularly incase you are a BP patient. Digestion is affected and some may fall sick due to cold and fever.

The Moon governs short-distance travel, especially travel related to leisure, relaxation, and exploration of new places.My suggestion is that do not travel after the Lunar Eclipse is over. Wait until 5th April and then you can plan a good vacation with your family. It is always good to go on vacation when the planetary aspects are more positive and favorable.

The Moon represents feminine energy, and so take good care of females in your family. As the post lunar eclipse impact can cause some difficulties to woman in your family.

So the whole intention of this sharing was to alert you about matters that can be impacted after the Lunar Eclipse event is over on 25th March. The best remedy is to chant the Ganesha Mantra every morning and evening – Aum Gam Ganapataye Namaha so that you are able to keep your mind in good shape and thereby protect yourself from any mental troubles. A balanced mind is your best shield against life’s storms.

As I have mentioned in my previous two podcasts on Lunar Eclipse – that if you are making efforts towards your spiritual growth then this lunar eclipse cannot cause harm however if there is absolutely no spirtual touch in your life then it is but natural that you will suffer mentally and you may also face many miseries post lunar eclipse event.

So it all depends on you. The only person who can truly change you is YOU. When you YOU come to the point of surrender – you start changing for good. You may not be able to surrender totally but with one step at a time slowly slowly you will become capable of living your life in surrender. As Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi says – partial surrender is also good to start with. Because with time you evolve and then you are able to surrender in totality. It is a long journey but remember every long journey starts with a small step.

Moon signify mind. And the Mind is always in search of a Goal. Mind is Goal oriented. And unless and until you drop all your goals – you cannot attain the beyond – you cannot attain the ultimate truth – the divine truth. And to help you all understand the significance of this message – I will share with you all an ancient story.

A man was very much interested in self-knowledge, in self-realization. His whole search had been to find a master who could teach him meditation. He went from one master to another, but nothing was happening. Years went by, he was tired, exhausted. Then someone told him, “If you really want to find a master you will have to go to the Himalayas. He lives in some unknown parts of the Himalayas; you will have to search for him. One thing is certain, he is there. Nobody knows exactly where, because whenever somebody comes to know of him he moves from that place and goes even deeper into the Himalayan ranges.”

The man was getting old, but he gathered courage. For two years he had to work to earn money for the journey, then he made the journey. It is an old story. He had to ride on camels and horses and then go on foot, and then he reached the Himalayas. People said, “Yes, we have heard about the old man, very ancient he is, one cannot say how old — maybe three hundred years old, or even five hundred years old; nobody knows. He lives somewhere, but the location cannot be given to you. Nobody is aware of where exactly you will find him, but he is there. If you search hard you are bound to find him.”

The man searched and searched and searched. For two years he was roaming in the Himalayas — tired, exhausted, dead exhausted, living only on wild fruits, leaves and grass. He had lost much weight. But he was intent that he had to find this man; even if it took his life, it would be worth it. And can you imagine? One day he saw a small hut, a grass hut. He was so tired that he was not even able to walk, so he crawled. He reached the hut. There was no door; he looked in, there was nobody inside. And not only was there nobody inside, but there was every sign that for years there had been nobody inside.

You can think what would have happened to that man. He fell on the ground. Out of sheer tiredness he said, “I give up.” He was lying there under the sun in the cool breeze of the Himalayas, and for the first time he started feeling so blissful, he had never tasted such bliss! Suddenly he started feeling full of light. Suddenly all thoughts disappeared, suddenly he was transported — and for no reason at all, because he had not done anything.

And then he became aware that somebody was leaning over him. He opened his eyes. A very ancient man was there. And the old man, smiling, said, “So you have come. Have you something to ask me?”

And the man said, “No.”

And the old man laughed, a great belly laugh which was echoed by the valleys. And he said, “So now you know what meditation is?”

And the man said, “Yes.”

What had happened? That assertion which came from his deepest core of being — “I give up” — in that very giving up, all goal-oriented mind efforts and endeavors disappeared. “I give up.” In that very moment he was no more the same person. And bliss showered on him. He was silent, he was a nobody, and he touched the ultimate stratum of non-being. Then he knew what meditation is. Meditation is a non-goal-oriented state of mind.

Remember – you can enter the abode of God only when you have dropped all the goals and agendas. This man – the moment he dropped his goal of seeking the master – the moment he says “I give up” – the moment he says “He has no question to ask” – he has arrived. He is back to his home. To his root – source consciousness.

The whole journey of life is to come back home – to our roots – to our source consciosuness. Next month in May – my new book titled “come back home” is coming and I will be very happy to share with you the contents of this wonderful book – once it is published.

Remember – Ketu is Great because Ketu has absolutely no agenda, no goals – totally headless and that’s what Sant Kabir loves – Sant Kabir says “If you want to become my disciple first you have to cut your head.” Meaning first you have to drop all your logic and intellectualism – only then my doors are open for you – only then God is reachable – only then love is possible.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Venus in Pisces Meaning

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Venus is not sex. Venus is love – and Venus in Pisces signify unconditional love. It is indeed a wonder that in the sign of Jupiter Venus exalts! This is because the 12th house Jupiterian Pisces uplifts the Venusian Love to greater heights of selfless, unconditional love. Jupiter transforms the selfish love of Venus into selfless love! And so now when Venus arrives in Pisces – it provides a perfect platform for those who seek true love. What is true love? True love is unconditional, and selfless. When you say that I seek true love – then you first you should be able to love others unconditionally. Paramhansa Yogananda says “There is a magnet in your heart that will attract true friends. That magnet is unselfishness, thinking of others first; when you learn to live for others, they will live for you.” Incidentally – Paramhansa Yogananda’s Venus was in trine with Jupiter in Pisces 8th house!
Whenever Jupiter comes in contact with Venus – through trine aspect – the qualities of Venus exalt and then such an exalted Venus is no more limited to ordinary love – it transform into spiritual love!

“Have only love in your heart for others.
The more you see the good in them, the more you will establish good in yourself…”
– Paramahansa Yogananda –

Remember – The ordinary love is a demand, the real love is a sharing. It knows nothing of demand; it knows the joy of giving. Love is the true God—not the God of theologians, but the God of Buddha, Jesus, Mohammed, the God of the Sufis. Whatever I share with you all is also out of love – unconditional love. And so now when Venus arrives in Pisces – it can prove beneficial for natives born with Moon, Sun or Ascendant in Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces. Natives of these 3 signs will experience an heightened state of awareness, love and emotional wellbeing. If you are in love or relationship and you belong to Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces – then you will truly enjoy many beautiful moments of love and passion during this Venus transit period. Always remember – true love is very momentary — but what a moment!. A single moment of love is equal to the whole eternity of love.
I remember once I was visiting a great spiritual master who lived in the divine town of Alandi. When I entered his room, he was on his bed and was about to sleep. But looking into my eyes – he could see the intensity of my love and devotion towards him and instantly he stood up and then we talked for few minutes. A true Master can quickly connect with your love. Just a moment of love and he quickly stood up and gave 5 minutes of his precious time. True love is very momentary — but what a moment!
The transit of Venus in Pisces is financially beneficial for Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn. If you are going through some financial troubles than stay optimistic as this transit of Venus can lead you to some good financial breakthroughs that would bring a big smile on your face. This is also a good time to go out with your good old friends and enjoy a get together or a cool party with your near and dear ones.
For Gemini, Libra and Aquarius – the transit of Venus in Pisces can lead to some great news at your workplace. After the effect of Lunar and Solar eclipse is over – that is from 20th April onwards you should expect good developments in your career and business. So stay optimistic as very soon you are going to smile and enjoy the good times ahead.
For Aries, Leo, Sagittarius – it is time to spend some time in relaxation. This Venus transit will give you the opportunity to go on a good vacation and enjoy the good moments of life. Plan a trip towards the ocean – for you it is going to be good if you spend some time on the beach – listening to the sounds of the ocean and enjoying a relaxing weekend or vacation. You may also encounter some beautiful spiritual experiences during this Venus transit period. So stay tuned and get ready for a relaxing time ahead.
Venus in Pisces becomes more beautiful when Jupiter is also placed well. So a lot depends on the placement of Jupiter. Currently the transiting Jupiter is in Aries – a sign next to Pisces and so this closeness of Jupiter with Venus – indicates that this is a perfect time for lovers, spiritual seekers and job seekers – your wishes are soon going to come true!
And so on this Holi – I want to assure all my close followers that soon the transit of Venus is going to bring a big smile on your face and when you smile – you look beautiful. So do send me a picture of your smiling face – because I am always very happy to see someone smiling – I think no money and no treasures can bring the kind of satisfaction that a big smile brings – at least to me for sure!
Always remember – life is constant change. Except for change everything else changes. Change is constant. Today I am with you all – tomorrow I may be gone. I may be dead. I may get the orders from my master to now come back and drop everything. Change is constant and so when you are going through difficult phase of life – remember with every passing day – you are coming closer and more closer to the end of the tunnel – the end of the dark nights. But people are always in rush – people dont have patience – Ananda also had no patience – he was walking with his Master Gautama Buddha – and they both had been walking for many hours. They want to reach the next town before sunset; they are rushing as fast as possible. But Buddha has become old, and Ananda himself is older than Buddha. They are worried that perhaps they will have to stay in the forest for the night, they will not be able to reach to the nearby town. They ask an old man, a farmer who is working in his field, “How far is the town?”
And the old man says, “Not very far. Don’t be worried. It is just two miles, at the most. You will reach.” Buddha smiles. The old man smiles. Ananda could not understand: “What is going on?”
Two miles have passed. There is no town yet, and they are more tired. An old woman is collecting wood and Ananda asks her, “How far is the village?” And she says, “Not more than two miles. You have already reached, don’t be worried.” Buddha laughs. The old woman laughs. And Ananda looks at both: “What is this laughter?” And after two miles still there is no town. They ask a third man, and again the same question and the same situation. And Ananda drops his bag and he says, “I am not going to move any more. I am so tired. And it seems we are never going to cross these two miles. Three times we believed… but one question arises in my mind continually….”
Living with Buddha for forty years… he has learned how to live with such a man, not to ask him unnecessary questions. But he said, “Now if it is unnecessary or necessary, I don’t care. One thing you have to tell me — why were you laughing when that old man said, Two miles, just two miles — you have not to go more than that’? And again you laughed with that old woman, and she also smiled, and again with the third person the same thing happened. What was this laugh? What was transpiring between you people? You don’t know them, they don’t know you.” Buddha said, “Our profession is the same. When I laughed, they laughed. they understood that this man belongs to the same kind of profession, where you have to keep people encouraged: Just two miles, just a little more.’” He said, “For my whole life I have been doing that. People finally reach, but if from the very beginning you tell them fifteen miles’ they will drop then and there. But by two miles’ and `two miles’ they will pass two hundred miles.
And this how the essence of life is – if you come to me and I tell you that you will be alright after twenty years then you will fall on the ground then an dthere itself. But if I tell you that the ‘town’ is just two miles away – you will continue to walk with hope in your heart. And that’s exactly what should be done – always remember – the town is just two miles aways and by two miles and two miles – one day you will pass through the entire 18 or 20 years of difficult Mahadasha! And the you will smile and I am waiting to see that big smile on your face – I am waiting and I will continue to wait because I know the town is just two miles away!
Happy Holi to all my close followers – sometimes when I read your comments my eyes become wet – but this is public forum – cannot mention individual names though I know you love me and I love you and this journey of sharing and caring will continue until we reach the town! Remember – the joy is in the journey and not in the destination.
Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Mercury in Aquarius Effects

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Mercury loves Aquarius. Aquarius is the most intellectual sign of all 12 zodiacs. Aquarius belongs to Kama Trikon meaning the Sexual Angle. The more the person is intellectual the more he or she is sexual. And so Aquarius is both – intellectual and very sexy by nature. Aquarius also falls in the category of airy signs – and all airy signs – Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are by default highly intellectual – Aquarius being the peak of intellectualism. And now when Mercury – the very source of intellectualism enters Aquarius – it gives a perfect platform for all intellectuals working in the field of IT Software, Hardware, Artificial Intelligence, News Media, Print Media, Scientific research studies – overall the stage is all set for those having plans in the upcoming days to showcase their intellectual creations as they will be able to do so with much perfection and glory!

For Capricorn, this transit brings good news for your financial condition. It’s also an ideal time to reconnect with long-lost family members and indulge in some much-needed socializing. A boost in both your personal and professional life awaits!

Aquarius, brace yourself for a hectic period. With so much on your plate, the pressure might be intense, but it will all be worth it. Your intellectual talents will shine brightly during upcoming appraisals, leading to well-deserved recognition and appreciation. Keep pushing through – greatness awaits!

Gemini, the cosmos invites you to explore higher philosophies and embark on a spiritual journey. Reading books on spirituality and consciousness will pique your interest, while long journeys beckon on the horizon. Focus on self-growth and embrace the guidance of your guru.

Cancer, it’s time to take charge of your finances. Clear your credit card dues and manage your loans responsibly. As online fraudsters loom, exercise caution in money matters. Trust with discretion to avoid unnecessary trouble.

Leo, prepare for an increased workload involving clients and customers. However, amidst the busyness, communication with your partner will flourish, becoming more engaging and interesting. Cherish the moments with your loved ones and enjoy fruitful conversations with clients as long as Mercury dances in Aquarius.

Virgo, physical fitness takes center stage. Embrace new fitness ideas to enhance your well-being. A busier routine may seem overwhelming, but you’ll revel in the productivity and engagement it brings.

Sagittarius, brace yourself for an intellectual extravaganza! Mental stimulation will be abundant, and you’ll find yourself involved in debates, conversations, and meetings that ignite your passion for ideas. Short trips will keep you energized and fuel your happiness.

With Mercury’s transit into Aquarius, this is a perfect time to shine and gain with your intellect, passion, and self-expression. When Mercury transits Aquarius – you get more power to express yourself and share your ideas and concepts with others. Always remember – Expression is Life and Repression is Suicide. Whenever you have a strong Mercury in your chart – you will be a very expressive person. The human world loves expressive people – people who can express well, people who can share, people who can talk well, people who can communicate effectively. On this note – I am reminded of a beautiful story. Two disciples of a great Master were walking in the garden of the Master’s house. They were allowed to walk every day, morning, evening. The walking was a kind of meditation, a walking meditation — just as Zen people do walking meditation. You cannot sit for twenty-four hours — the legs need a little movement, the blood needs a little circulation — so in Zen and in Sufism both, you meditate for a few hours sitting and then you start meditating walking. But the meditation continues; walking or sitting, the inner current remains the same.
They both were smokers. They both wanted to ask for the permission of the Master, so they both decided, “Tomorrow. At the most, he will say no, but we are going to ask. And it doesn’t seem such a sacrilegious act to smoke in the garden; we will not be smoking in his house itself. ”
The next day they met in the garden. One was furious — furious because the other was smoking — and he said, “What happened? I also asked, but he simply flatly refused and said no. And you are smoking? Are you not abiding by his orders?”
He said, “But he has said yes to me.
“This looked very unjust. And the first said, “I will go and immediately inquire as to why he said no to me and yes to you.”
The other said, “Wait a minute. Please tell me what you had asked.” He said, “What I had asked? I had asked a simple thing, ‘Can I smoke while meditating?’ He said, ‘No!’ and he looked very angry. ”
The other started laughing; he said, “Now I know what is the matter. I asked, ‘Can I meditate while smoking?’ He said ‘yes.’”
It all depends. Just a little difference, and life is totally something else. Now, there is a great difference. Asking, “Can I smoke while meditating?” is just ugly. But asking, ” Can I meditate while smoking?” — it’s perfectly okay. Good! At least you will be meditating.

It all depends on how you communicate – how you express a certain idea or question!

Always remember – Life is neither misery nor bliss. Life is an empty canvas, and one has to be very artistic about it. Enough for now. I will be back soon with a new podcast. Thanks to all my close followers – I know you are listening and because you are listening – you are improving – your life is improving and it will continue to improve as long as you listen and implement the many insights that I share with you – the first and foremost being – the daily practice of meditation and chanting.

Next month in March 2024 – my new book “Come Back Home” is coming and in this book I have share 7 Mantras that can change you inside out. Always remember – life changes for good when you change for good. It all begins with that one person – YOU.

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Breakups: Planet Behind Pain

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Venus is a dealer. Moon is a caretaker. When both come together – there is a mismatch! Venus cannot understand the illogical way of moon and moon cannot understand the logical way of Venus. For marriage or a successful relationship – along with Venus – Mercury is also very important. Sex, love, sexual activity – is all based on how you process your thoughts – and this processing of thoughts comes under the domain of Mercury. That is why in many cases – even though Venus is positive – still the person continues to fail in his or her relationship due to the poor placement of Mercury or afflicted Mercury.

Today – as we all celebrate the beautiful day of Valentine – it is necessary to understand that the success of your relationship comes down to Mercury and its overall condition in your birth chart.

I will not hesitate to state that even though your Venus is debilitated and placed in Virgo – still if Mercury is placed in Virgo or Gemini or is placed in the 7th house with positive aspects from Jupiter – then you will succeed in your relationship or marriage.

On this Valentine – I want to specifically reveal this secret of successful relationship to my close followers – and the secret is now open – the key planet for a successful marriage or relationship is the princely planet – Prince Mercury!

The woman may have exceptional beauty, she may be entertaining, she may be intelligent, she may have unique artistic talent but if she is not have a certain depth of understanding then she cannot sustain her relationship for long. The same is applicable to man. It is based on the overall placement of Mercury that you level of understanding is seen. Buddha says – True love is born from understanding. Buddha further says – When you understand everything – you forgive everything! The success of every relationship that happens on this planet is based on the level of understanding. When both – the man and woman has good level of understanding – they will continue to walk hand in hand through the many high and lows of life. And this deep level understanding comes only from the grace of Mercury and Jupiter.

Venus is all about looks, artistic talent, love-making, kissing, fashion designing or all kinds of designing, glamor. However this is not enough for a relationship to blossom and deepen. You also need “Vivek Buddhi” – “Vivek Buddhi” means reasoning through constructive positive set of mind. Otherwise you all have read news wherein the man and women fall in love – run away and get married and then one day the man kills the woman and cuts her into pieces – is this love? This happens because of “irrational mind” – and such an irrational mind – cruel mind is due to poor placement of moon and mercury in the chart. Moon is the Master of Mercury. And when Moon – that is when Mind is corrupted – it gives all kinds of wrong – self-destructive orders to the brain which is Mercury. Mercury is responsible for the processing of thoughts or command that happens through the brain. And so just having a strong Venus is not enough – you need to have a good placement of Mercury and Moon – with positive aspects from Jupiter or Venus or Sun – to succeed in a relationship.

Yesterday – a young man came and said “I have fallen in love” – I asked “When did it happen – because till yesterday you were alright.” He said “That’s right – but today while travelling – I saw a beautiful girl.” – I asked “Where did you see her?” He said – at the traffic signal. She was on her bike – and I couldn’t help myself – I fell in love.” – This is how it happens – this young man kept his Mercury aside and has now fallen in love. Now he will start with his efforts – one day he may even succeed – but such a love is short-lived – there is no connection of the soul – the understanding of each other is missing – there has been no dialog – this is infatuation and not love. Just boom boom for few days and then the heat is gone – then again you are wandering in the cold winters of your life.

So on this Valentine – it is necessary to remind yourself that to succeed in a relationship – you need to first become friends. If you remain lovers then love can evaporate after a few days of honeymoon. Real love is known only after the honeymoon. When excitement ends – intimacy grows! In the beginning of a relationship – you are excited – something is going to happen. And when you remain in this relationship for a long period – things settles – then you truly become one with your partner – then you don’t need any excitement – you understand her very well and this understanding becomes the foundation of your relationship! The same is applicable to the Master and the disciple. In the beginning – you come across my podcast – you are excited – this man is saying something new – this man is sharing something unique – the excitement is there – then slowly slowly as you remain with me for a longer period – the excitement is gone – you become more aligned with the essence of my whole being – my sharings – and before you could realize – you have already fallen in love with my sharings! And that is why I say – Real Love happens only when the excitement of honeymoon is over! So whosoever has been with me for a longer time through this channel – they have truly aligned with me – naturally they have melted in my being without known when and how it all happened – that’s love – that’s Valentine!

And so to experience a happy Valentine – it is necessary that along with your looks, your body shape, your artistic talent – you also focus on raising the level of your understanding. A beautiful woman with absolute no depth of understanding is like a bottle of poison whose label says “Its pure nectar”! And a not so beautiful woman with much depth of understanding is a bottle of nectar whose label says “Take with Caution”. This is how the mad mad world is – because you see through your mind and not with your eyes! Discrimination happens because of this – because the mind always loves to discriminate based on caste, color, religion and what not. Love is impossible as long as you continue to see through your mind. Once it happened – there was one such man – he was not beautiful – he was not handsome – he looked ugly – nobody had ever called him “Beautiful”. His name was VINCENT VAN GOGH. And the story is such that His whole life van Gogh was just giving his paintings to friends: to the hotel where he used to eat four days a week he would present a painting, or to a prostitute who had said once to him that he was not a beautiful man. To be absolutely factual, he was ugly. No woman ever fell in love with him, it was impossible.

This prostitute out of compassion — and sometimes prostitutes have more compassion than your so-called ladies, they understand men more — just out of compassion she said, “I like you very much.” He had never heard this. Love was a far away thing. Even liking….

He said, “Really, you like me? What do you like in me?” Now, the woman was at a loss.

She said, “I like your ears. Your ears are beautiful.” And you will be surprised that van Gogh went home, cut off his ears with a razor, packed them beautifully, went to the prostitute and gave his ears to her. And blood was flowing….

She said, “What have you done?”

He said, “Nobody ever liked anything in me. And I am a poor man, how can I thank you? You liked my ears; I have presented them to you. If you had liked my eyes, I would have presented my eyes to you If you had liked me, I would have died for you.”

The prostitute could not believe it. But for the first time, van Gogh was happy, smiling; somebody had liked at least a part of him.

Love is happy when it is able to give something. Ego is happy when it is able to take something. Vincent became a legendary painter – he became world famous for his paintings but after his death. When he was alive – there was nobody who would have appreciated his beauty – and so when the prostitute said casually – even though she didn’t mean what she said – even then – those words – “I like your ears. Your ears are beautiful.” touched his heart – and he presented his ears to her as a gift! How deep is this man – how to express his depth of being – but this is how a man of love is – no doubt he became the greatest painter that the world had ever known – when you have so much of love – so much of depth of being – it is natural that you are exceptional – you are beautiful.

Enough for now – wishing each one of you a very happy Valentine day – deepen your level of understanding and you will be able to save your relationship – you will succeed in your relationship because as the Buddha says – True love is born from understanding – when you understand everything – you forgive everything.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Ketu in Shravan

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

The law of gravity would not have been discovered without the power of Ketu in Shravan! Sir Issac Newton was the man who discovered the law of gravity. Newton was sitting under an apple tree and then one apple fell down. Because of this he started thinking, and he felt something is pulling the apple downwards. And that is when he discovered the law of gravity. Sharp observation is one beautiful trait of Ketu in Shravan Nakshatra. Sir Isaac Newton had Ketu in Shravan Nakshatra. India would have never succeeded in testing the atom bomb twice if Abdul Kalam would not have been there. In spite being a Muslim by birth – he was elected as the President of India and till date no other person has been able to match his stature and the immense contribution he made for the betterment of India. He is known for his insightful quotes and poems and he was a man of literature. Abdul Kalam also had Ketu in Shravan Nakshatra. The world of music is incomplete without the mention of Mozart. Mozart is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers in history, leaving an indelible imprint on Western classical music. His extraordinary talent for composition and his ability to capture the essence of emotions through music were unmatched. The influence of Ketu in Shravan Nakshatra is evident in Mozart’s unrivaled ability to listen intently, extracting inspiration from the world around him. His compositions continue to mesmerize and inspire generations, showcasing the power of Ketu’s association with Shravan Nakshatra. These examples illustrate the diverse range of talents and abilities that can manifest when Ketu aligns with Shravan Nakshatra at the time of birth.

Whatever Ketu touches becomes gold. But that gold is only seen by those who has a certain depth of understanding. Ketu in Shravan brings great transformation but this transformation happens after the age of 36. And it is only through the divine intervention that transformation happens in such a native’s life. Reminds of Balmik. There is a Hindu story in India… The oldest book on the life of Rama is written by Balmik. Balmik was a robber, thief, murderer — everything that you can conceive of he had done. That was his only profession. Uneducated but a tremendously powerful man, just on the highway he would be waiting for people, and anybody who was caught had to give everything; otherwise he was finished. Balmik’s family was living in luxury — he was bringing so much every day.

One day it happened that one beautiful saint, Narada, who was always carrying his ektara — a simple musical instrument, with only one string, that had become his symbol — singing and playing on his ektara he was passing, and Balmik caught hold of him. But he was still singing and playing on his ektara.

Balmik said, “Are you mad or something? Can’t you see me, can’t you see my sword? Give me everything that you have!”

Narada said, “You have caught a beggar; I have only this ektara. And that too I am not going to give easily, because what will you do with this? But if you want it, I can give it to you. If you want my life I can give that too. But before I give you anything, I want to ask one question to you.”

Balmik said, “Question? What question?”

Narada said, “You go home, ask your wife: you have been killing people, robbing people — is she ready to share the responsibility of it. Ask your father, your mother, your son, your daughter. Are they willing to share the responsibility of what you are doing?”

Balmik had never thought about such a thing; he was an uneducated man. He said, “I have never thought about it. They must share the responsibility. I am doing it for them.”

Narada said, “I will be here. Don’t be worried, you can just tie me to the tree so I cannot escape.” He was tied to the tree and Balmik rushed to his home and asked his wife. His wife said, “I have nothing to do with your responsibilities. It is your responsibility to feed your wife; how you do it I have no concern for.” And the same was the response of everybody.

Even the mother said, “It is your responsibility to take care of your old father and mother. Now how you are doing it — that you have to work out. We have not told you to kill people and rob people; you are doing it on your own. We are simply not responsible for any of your acts.”

Not a single man in his house was ready to share responsibility. He was shocked! He went back, untied Narada, touched his feet and said, “I have been my whole life a wrong person. Is there any possibility for me to get rid of all that I have done?”

Narada said, “There is no problem. You stop doing it, because the people you are doing it for are not even ready to take responsibility for it! And I will teach you my song. My song is very simple; I simply repeat the name of Rama. It is so simple, no education is needed. You sit under the tree and repeat, `Rama, Rama…’ as long as you can, and you will be transformed — because intrinsically your innermost core always remains pure. It is only the layers on it which can be dropped.”

After a few months Narda came back and he was surprised: Balmik was sitting there under the tree. Narda had been his whole life repeating the name of Rama, the Hindu God, but nothing like this had happened to him. Balmik was surrounded by an aura of light. Just going close to him you felt a tremendous silence, a great rejoicing. And it is said that it is this Balmik who later came to be known as Saint Valmiki. Saint Valmiki scripted the greatest scripture of all times – the Valmiki Ramayana. Ramayana is the life story of Lord Rama but the story of his life is so magical that by the end of it – you become so full of devotion and love that there is no word that can describe the divine juice, the divine love it leads you to! A ruthless dry person Balmik – transformed into a great Saint and wrote the most divine book filled with so much of love and deep insights that you can now understand the great transformation Ketu in Shravan can bring in ones life.

Always remember every Saint has a Past and every Sinner has a future. And so never condemn a sinner because if he gets a fair chance and proper guidance – then he too can transform into a great Saint.

Enough for now.

5th House and Finding Successor

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

It is said that the disciples of Gautama Buddha wanted to know the successor of Gautama Buddha. However Gautam Buddha never mentioned about his successor. He was such a simple man – instead of appointing his successor, he simply asked his disciples to work out their own salvation. So officially – there has been no successor to Gautama Buddha. However after Gautama Buddha left his body – it was Mahakasayap who also was the first enlightened disciple of Buddha – took over the monastery and he was the one who presided over the First Buddhist Council that happened after the death of Gautama Buddha. Gautama Buddha had exchanged his robe with Mahakasayap – a sign that after Buddha – it was Mahakasayap who would establish the Buddhist Discipline. The true master would never officially declare his successor but through his actions he will let you know – who is his real successor. In reality – there can be no successor because nobody could replace you – your uniqueness is irreplaceable however somebody close to you, somebody who has been with you and has truly resonated with you – can carry the work you had started with.

In Astrology – 5th house is the house of successor. Whether you have a biological son or daughter or whether you have a devoted fellow – either way – you have created something. Creating a biological son or daughter is one thing and creating a devoted fellow who understands you inside out is another thing. Both are part of creation – but the one that you have created by your wisdom, your love, your knowledge and your compassion is of much higher realms. I myself have no child and yet I have my own creations that would continue to spread the light of awareness when I am dead.

Many men and women don’t have a biological child. However through their compassion, love and nurturing quality – they have produced such devoted fellows who may go to any length and do the unimaginable which a biological child may also not dare to do!

So I want to debunk the myth that it is only the biological child who can succeed you and your legacy – 5th house is not just limited to biological child – it also signify the many good hearted fellow followers and students and disciples that you have created through your wisdom, love and compassion. And of all these followers – one of them can become your successor. Successor means not that he will be exactly like you – because you are unique – every person is unique – but successor means he will carry forward the values, principles, ethics, and teaching that you imparted when you were alive.

Now after the 5th house – it is the role of Jupiter that matters the most. Depending on the state of Jupiter in your chart – you will find your successor. And the last but very important planet is Saturn – since Saturn is directly connected with Prarabhada Karma – depending on the state of Saturn – you will pass on your legacy to a specific person and that specific person may not be a biological son or daughter but if there is a strong Prarabhada karma connection of past and present life then nobody can stop that person from becoming your successor.

Successor need not be a person who is born in your family. Successor can be a person who has no blood relation with you and yet nobody can understand your better than him. And so whether you don’t have a biological child or you have a biological child – your successor is the one who becomes your soul mate.

What is soul mate? Soul mate is a term coined to express the deep connection between two person which is beyond words. A soul mate can be a partner, a friend, a student, a disciple or a devotee. In a soul mate relation – there is only pure unconditional love. And so I think that there can be no better example of a soul mate than the relation between a Guru and Disciple. Many guru-disciple relationships are soul mate connections that can lead to higher spiritual paths and love. Paramahansa Yogananda described the guru-disciple relationship as a “very personal and private spiritual bond”. No love is so total as the love that happens between the master and the disciple. The love that happened between John and Jesus, the love that happened between Sariputta and Buddha. These are the real love stories, the highest pinnacles of love.

Buddha had officially no successor but he had great disciples who loved him dearly. And from these great disciples – Sariputta was a gem of a person. It happened so that one day Sariputta – Buddha’s chief disciple became enlightened. With tears in his eyes he came to Buddha and he said. “I was avoiding enlightenment, but you went on insisting. Now I am enlightened and my eyes are full of tears because I know you will send me away from you, just to spread the fire. And I understand your compassion, that you are continuously aware of the many who can become buddhas: just a little support is needed. Those who have not gone very far away from themselves can be called back very easily.”

Buddha said, “Then why are you crying?”

He said, “I am crying because I will not be able to touch your feet every day as I have been doing for these twenty years.”
Buddha said, “Do one thing. Keep a map with you, and remember in what direction I am dwelling. Just bow down in that direction. Touch the feet symbolically, touch the earth – because after all this body is made of earth, and one day it will go back to the earth. So touching the earth is not only touching my feet, but touching the feet of all the buddhas who have ever happened. They have all dissolved their bodies in the earth. So there is no need, and it does not look right, that an enlightened person should weep and cry.”

Sariputta said, “I don’t care what people think, but the reality is that tears are coming. And according to your teaching, I should be spontaneous and authentic. Even if you say, “Don’t weep” I am not going to listen. Tears are coming, what can I do? I cannot be a hypocrite, smiling though the eyes are full of tears.”

It is said that Sariputta, wherever he was, in the morning would look at the map, to find exactly where Buddha was, and in that direction he would bow down and touch the feet of Buddha. He came to have thousands of disciples of his own and they said,” It does not look right. You need not do such a gesture. You are a buddha yourself.” He said, “It is true, I am a buddha myself, but I would not have been a buddha if I had not met Gautama the Buddha. It is the meeting with this man that triggered something in me, burned all that was false and brought all that was true in its pristine purity and clarity. I owe so much to this man that there is no way to pay him. All that I can do is touch his feet from miles away.”

He continues to his very last breath. Before he died – he died before Gautama Buddha – the last thing he said to his disciples was, “Forgive me because you cannot see those invisible feet. Let me touch the feet of my master for the last time.” And he bowed down, tears flowing from his eyes and he died in that posture. He did not get up again. That is true humanity – humbleness, devotion, love and trust. And such qualities can only be found in a disciple – a devoted disciple who understood Gautama Buddha more than Ananda. Ananda was the elder cousin brother of Gautama Buddha – he followed Buddha for forty years but he could not attain enlightenment – he could not understand Gautama the Buddha it totality the way Sariputta, the way Mahakasayap understood Gautama, the Buddha!

And so successor is your soul mate – and soul mate usually is never connected to you biologically – he is always an outside who remains deeply connected with your inner beauty that nobody in your family could relate to!

So whether you have a biological child or you don’t have a biological child – the real successor is someone who always is an outsider though he shares a bond of many past births with you which the shallow world could never realize and so the real successors are not known to the public – they do their work silently, they ensure that the light of consciousness reach the farthest shores of this planet – you may never come to know about them but they are the ones who answer your prayers – they are the chosen ones, the living Buddhas of this human world.

Remember – what you seek is also seeking you. You think you are alone – but you are never alone – somebody is watching you…somebody out there is always taking care of you. You just need to have strong faith and patience. “Shraddha Aur Saburi” says Sai Baba – meaning if you have deep unwavering faith and patience then you will always succeed in life. The engine that help you to remain patient is called “F A I T H“. Walk by faith and not by sight.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Two Planets That Neutralize Rahu

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Karma is of three types. Prarabhada Karma which is directly connected to your past birth karma, Sanchit Karma which is reservoir of all your past births karma and kriya mana karma which is directly connected with what you DO NOW – at this very moment. So all your routine daily actions are recorded as Kriya mana Karma. Astrology remedies are primarily focused on improving your Kriya mana Karma – so that the more good you do NOW – the better you will be able to overcome and face the effects of your sins done in the past life. What is sin? Sin is something that happens in the absence of awareness. Lao Tzu says TOO MUCH is the only SIN – he is right because it is only in the absence of awareness that you start doing too much – you become too much greedy for power, for sex, for money, and this too muchness leads to your fall and misery!

The reason I was explaining you all about the significance of Karma because – in your past births – you too have been doing too much due to which – now in this birth you have been facing so many problems in life. Too much of selfishness leads you to a life of many miseries. Karma or action never leaves you. So first of all get rid of all the myths that one day you will be totally free from karma. That is not possible. Karma always remains as long as you are alive in this human body. However the nature of Karma will vary based on your level of consciousness. For example – a person of base level of consciousness is doing all kinds of labor work – that is his level of karma. A person with a little more level of consciousness may be a businessmen – he works to earn more money so that he can enjoy the pleasures of life – that is his level of karma. A person with a little more level of consciousness may be a big businessmen – he works to create jobs for others, he want to earn more money so that he help the poor and give back to the society. A person with a little more level of consciousness maybe a social leader – he dedicates his whole life towards the betterment of the society. And so many such levels of karma exist depending on the level of consciousness the individual operates in this human birth. And then even when an individual attains great progress on the spiritual path – still he is not free of karma because sitting on the top of the mountain – he meditates day and night – he chants day and night – but that is also Karma! So you see KARMA always remains. However the level of karma changes based on the level of consciousness of the individual. So if anybody is telling you – that now you don’t have any karma left – that you are now
totally free of karma then he is simply fooling you and himself as well.

So the ultimate truth is that KARMA always remains. Though the quality of Karma continues to differ from person to person – because each person operate at different level of consciousness.

In Astrology – Saturn signify Karma. But as I have mentioned earlier – in astrology multiple planets come together to signify the nature of the Karma. Saturn is the Judge who decides whether your Karma is good or bad. But which planets signify the nature of your karma? Jupiter and Mars. Jupiter is Vivek. Vivek means being positive, being constructive. Jupiter is the energy that guide you to do the right thing. And Mars is all about doing! All the actions come under the domain of Mars because without energy you cannot do any act and this energy is Mars. So when Jupiter and Mars are positive and strong in your birth chart then it is obvious that the nature of your Karma will also be positive leading to a positive Saturn placement in your chart. And so when Jupiter, Mars are positive – Saturn is also positive. And when all these three planets are positive then Rahu also naturally is beneficial for you. Therefore natives having a strong positive placement of Jupiter and Mars – always experience a positive Rahu Mahadasha or Rahu transits.

Jupiter Mars conjunction there is one of my favorite conjunction – if this conjunction falls in a positive chart – then you don’t have to worry much about Rahu or Rahu Mahadasha – because this conjunction signify that your Rahu must be alright and so will be your life – alright!

And so if you are about to embark on the 18 years of Rahu Mahadasha – then don’t worry. Check the placement of Mars and Jupiter in your chart as well as the transit of Saturn in your birth chart.

And for those who are still wondering on what to do if Mars and Jupiter are placed badly in your birth chart – then don’t worry, every problem has a solution. And the solution is simple because God is simple, Love is simple, Truth is simple!

Start fasting on Thursdays and Tuesdays. From sunrise to sunset – eat only fruits and drink only water and nothing else. Additionally – on Tuesdays – visit Lord Hanuman temple and recite Hanuman Chalisa or listen to Hanuman Chalisa. Worship Lord Hanuman on Tuesdays, offer sweets in his temple. And on Thursdays – visit Lord Dattareya Temple and offer sweets and garland. And recite the powerful Dutta Bavani written by the great spiritual master Rangavdhoot Maharaj. His Ashram is located near the Narmada river in Gujarat. Dutta Bavani is a miraculous ten pages small booklet having 52 verses and if you recite these 52 verses daily in the morning – I tell you – you will be alright and do well during Rahu Mahadasha period.

Jupiter is all about be righteousness – and Mars is the energy that you have to use for the well being of your family and society. If you focus on strengthening the frequency of these two planets – Jupiter and Mars – the you will be smiling all your life.

Rahu is a smoke. Now depending on what you burn – you will get the smoke accordingly. If you burn an incense stick – then you will get the smoke of fragrance. If you burn a dead body – then you will get a bad smell of the burning flesh. So it all depends on what you burn! So when you say that you are suffering due to Rahu – it means that you have been burning the flesh of a dead body – meaning your actions are not good. And so you have to focus on doing good actions. I remember – a young man had approached me for consultation – and I just ignored him because many times just by listening to the voice – I get the message that this is not the right time to consult this person and so I told him to come after six months. After six months this man came – I thought he must have gone somewhere else – but he came to me after six months – so then I could not reject his request for consultation – ideally I should have rejected because that’s what the message was from the higher calling. But I gave him a consideration and then after reading his chart – told him to visit a certain temple. This man visited the temple and then after two days messaged me that – I visited the temple and now I have got big loss in my stock investment. He was blaming the temple visit for his own stupidity of investing in wrong stocks! And he didn’t stop there – he started abusing that temple Goddess and God in his message. I blocked him because he was totally out of his senses. But this is how it happens – I told him to visit the temple, meditate, pray so that his karma will improve but he did exactly the other way round – he made his own karma more bad by abusing the God and Goddess who absolutely had no interest in his so called stock investments!

So this is how weird kind of people exist in this vast human world that they want help but when help is provided then are not able to receive it with grace! And from that day – I have been listening to the Higher Calling and giving consultation to only those who become eligible for my consultation.

Always remember – many times you feel to help those suffering in life – but you cannot help them because they don’t have the depth of understanding or the sense of gratitude which is necessary if you truly want to overcome the miseries of life. Buddha says “Life is Suffering” because if you truly come to the state of awareness then you will self realize that in this human world there is more pain than happiness! Therefore the great Guru Samarth Ramdas Swami writes in Marathi language a beautiful verse –जगी सर्व सुखी असा कोण आहे, विचारी मना तूची शोधूनी पाहे !! – meaning – he says to the mind – “O mind – in this world who is happy, search and find yourself.” Nobody is happy in this human world – if they have a luxurious car then they are aspiring to have an airplane soon. And if they have an airplane then they are aspiring to visit the space soon! So you see nobody is content with what they have and happiness is possible only when you live with contentment! “‘ठेविले अनंते तैसेचि रहावे चित्ती असू द्यावे समाधान'” quotes Saint Tukaram in Marathi language – meaning the great Saint Tukaram writes “Just be the way existence what you to be and imbibe a sense of contentment in your mind.”

Samadhan means contentment – and Rahu is exactly opposite to the sense of being content! And so when going through Rahu Mahadasha – if your Jupiter (Vivek) and Mars (Action) is not in the right state then you will remain unsatisfied and this sense of dissatisfaction will make you wander all over the planet until you realize that enough is enough and you come and surrender at the feet of your master. Diogenes was telling the same thing to Alexander-the great. Diogenes was a great spiritual master and he said to Alexander – “Come and relax with me.” But Alexander said ” I cannot come now – because I have to still conquer the world. Once I conquer the whole world – I will come back” Diogenes said – “Nobody comes back.” The desires never end. They make you run like an idiot – and thats what happened with Alexander, the Great. His ambitious nature proved dangerous and one day he died and he was not able to conquer the whole world. And in today’s world also we have many such Alexanders – they are not willing to stop. This is how the world is ruined by such Alexanders. All Alexanders are foolish because ambition is a bottle of poison on which the label says “its pure nectar”!

Unless and until you realize that ambition is a bottle of poison – you will continue to damage yourself and then when you fail – when you suffer – you will label it with a word that every ignorant fools labels with – Destiny. Ignorant fools label their own foolishness as Destiny. The wise never put the blame on destiny – they take the responsibility for their actions and work towards correcting themselves by living their life with a deep sense of surrender and gratitude. And that is how a sinner becomes a saint – and history has been witness to may such real life examples – Saul became Saint Paul, Ratnakar became Saint Valmiki. So transformation is possible – but only when you are willing to take that first step of faith…

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Mars Transit: Moola’s Impact

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Moola Nakshatra is directly connected with the sexual energy that dwells at the Mooladhara Chakra located at the base of the spine. It is necessary to remember that the energy within is sexual by nature and it is through this sexual energy that you create a new life. A new life is born through the sexual energy – you are born through this sexual energy, I am born through this sexual energy. So energy is sexual by nature because a new life is born naturally only through the sexual energy whose purpose is to create. So understand the fact that Moola Nakshatra is directly connected with creativity. The word “Kundalini” is very much abused by people who has made “Kundalini awakening” a fulltime business. Their so called Kundalini awakening courses charge you anywhere from 500 to 2000 dollars to awaken your Kundalini which is rooted in the Mooladhara Chakra. If such kind of awakening happens then I guess all those rich wealth men and women can buy Kundalini awakening shots over the counter by paying thousands of dollars and then we will have so many walking Buddhas on this planet! But this is not how the real awakening happens. Anyways so coming back to our subject – Moola is therefore the most significant Nakshatra when it comes to spiritual awakening. Any planet falling in Moola Nakshatra gets energized and spiritualized and something beautiful emerges but it emerges the way a phinex bird rises from the ashes. A phoenix obtains new life by rising from the ashes of its predecessor. Similarly when a planet falls in Moola – first the matters of that plannet are completely burnt to ashes and then from those ashes a new beautiful thing is created. “Die O yogi – die, sweet is dying” says the great divine spiritual master of all masters – the one and the only Shri Gorakhnath! Because in this universe there is nothing sweeter than death. DIE THAT DEATH and die such a death GORAKH DIED AND SAW, die that way in which Gorakh attained enlightenment. In the same way you die and see. One death we are already familiar with: in which the body dies, but our ego and mind go on living. This same ego finds a new womb. This same ego, troubled by new desires, again starts off on the journey. Even before leaving behind one body, it is already eager for another. This death is not the real death. It is said that one day a man met Gorakhnath and the man said that he was thinking of committing suicide. Gorakhnath said: “Go and commit it, but I tell you, afterwards you will be very surprised.”

That man said: “What do you mean? I came to you so that you would tell me ‘Don’t do it!’ I went to other sadhus. They all cautioned me: ‘Brother, don’t do it, suicide is a great sin.’”

Gorakh said: “Are you mad? No one can commit suicide. No one can even die. Dying is not possible. I warn you, do it and you will be very surprised. After committing suicide you will discover, ‘What! The body is left behind, but I am exactly as I was!’… And if you want to commit real suicide, then stay with me. If you want to play nonsense games, then it’s up to you — jump from some mountain, put your neck in a noose. But if you want the real death, then stay by my side. I will give you the art which brings on the great death, then there will be no possibility of returning again.” But that great death seems to us to be nothing but great death, this is why he is calling it sweet.

DIE, O YOGI, DIE! DIE, SWEET IS DYING. These beautiful deep of word of Gorakhnath is what Moola is also saying – because Moola’s purpose is to burn your ego – burn your illusions so that you come face to face with the reality – the ultimate truth – God consciousness. The start of the year 2024 beginning with Mars in Moola simply signify that this year is going to be a great transformative year for many – especially those who are blessed. Always remember to receive blessings – you should be ready to live your life in total surrender. People are shallow – they don’t want any pain. Without pain – there can be no transformation. And without transformation – there can be no new life! That is why Jesus mention about the process of REBORN. To REBORN – first you have to die and this death is not of the body but this death is of your ego, your illusions, your assumptions. Thus, Moola Nakshatra is a powerful force of transformation. On December 28, 2023, Mars will enter the realm of Moola, presenting yet another opportunity for mankind to undergo transformative phases. Spiritual seekers, evolving souls, and meditative beings can look forward to this wonderful phase. Mars is sexual energy and Moola is the very root – Mooladhar of this sexual energy. And so the very first month of 2024 is going to be a highly creative phase for many. And it feels so good to know that the new year 2024 will commence on an extraordinarily imaginative and innovative note. From 28th December to 14th January – Mars will transit through the transforming powerhouse and highly creative Nakshatra – Moola. Now, let’s take a closer look at how this beginning of new year 2024 unfolds for each of the 12 zodiac signs.

For Aries men and women – Get ready for an extraordinary phase of life as the new year is bound to begin with big bang. It is a perfect sign that this new year is going to bring a good transformation in your personality. As well as it is also going to shock you with pleasant surprises and gifts.

Embrace the adventure ahead, as your path is illuminated and the universe conspires to make this year unforgettable. Get ready to soar to new heights and embrace the bountiful blessings that await you.

For Taurus men and women – Get ready for an exhilarating start to 2024, as it sets the stage for a promising journey in love and relationships.

For Gemini men and women – Prepare yourself for an auspicious year filled with good fortune, as the movement of Mars into Moola signifies a period of prosperity, exciting opportunities, and unexpected changes in your life. You will be surrounded by supportive friends who will guide you and assist in your professional growth. For Gemini natives, this is an extremely promising beginning. Personally, I have always admired these lively, intelligent companions who will undoubtedly thrive in the year 2024. Some of you may even experience financial abundance through inheritance or ancestral properties. Additionally, many Gemini individuals will make valuable contributions to the field of technology through their innovative ideas and creative talents. Overall, this phase will bring transformation to your financial and career matters.

For Cancer men and women – Prepare yourself for a significant shift in your career. The year 2024 will bring about numerous transformations and sudden changes in your workplace.

For Leo men and women – Get ready for a year filled with excitement and creativity. 2024 is set to be the most captivating and romantic year for individuals born under the Leo sign. According to the English dictionary, romance is described as a kind of adventure. Love itself is an adventure – it happens spontaneously, without any clear reason.

However, this year also holds the potential for a fresh start for those who have been struggling to achieve success in their business ventures.

Alternatively, if you are seeking better job opportunities, you can anticipate landing a position at a new company with an upgraded role and increased responsibilities.

For Sagittarius men and women – The year 2024 is forecasted to bring both highs and lows in love and relationships for Sagittarius natives. It will be a turbulent ride, requiring increased vigilance and adaptability. Students, in particular, must put in extra effort to achieve good grades in their examinations. The road ahead will not be easy, demanding dedication and perseverance. However, if you have long-standing travel plans, this year will provide ample opportunities for you to explore foreign lands. Building business connections with individuals from different countries and cultures will prove advantageous. For those on a spiritual journey or practicing meditation, the new year of 2024 holds significant promise. Many Sagittarius individuals will encounter positive spiritual experiences and growth. The combined astrological influence of the new year and Mars in Mool transit suggests a challenging start. However, by the end of 2024, the efforts invested will bear rewarding outcomes.

Embrace the opportunities that lie ahead and seize the chances for personal and professional advancement.

This astrological influence signifies a period of high ambition and dynamic energy. Business ventures will flourish, and you will find opportunities to expand into new domains, bringing growth and success. It is also a promising time for professionals, as 2024 presents a perfect opportunity for massive career growth.

Embrace the potential that lies ahead and move forward with confidence, knowing that the time is ripe for your personal and professional aspirations to come to fruition.

For Pisces men and women – Pisces natives are set to face a challenging year due to the alignment of Rahu with your natal moon in Pisces. This cosmic conjunction indicates a period of obstacles and hurdles. However, there is a silver lining as the Mars transit in Moola brings a much-needed boost to your professional career. You can expect positive developments and advancements in your work sphere. It is important to brace yourself for sudden changes in the workplace that may initially disappoint you. However, these transformations will ultimately prove beneficial for your career growth and progress. It is crucial to stay motivated and carefully manage your expenses during this fluctuating financial period.

They can be a source of support and a helping hand when you need it the most. Maintain a low profile, focus on your work performance, and cultivate a positive mindset. Remember, what you focus on tends to grow. Stay happy, stay blessed, and navigate this year with resilience and determination.

Overall the transit of Mars in Moola signify that the year 2024 is going to be a highly transformative year for many – you are going to see a lot happening – many changes and many transformations happening through war, elections, revolution and agitations all around the world. Definetely – the year 2024 is going to be a disruptive year. Always remember – the greatest innovations often come from disruptive thinking. Disruptive leadership is a perfect sign of Moola – it is only through disruptive leadership that something good is build. So embrace the disruptiveness – it may seem uncomfortable but real success and real growth is never found in comfort zones – it is only found when you step out of your comfort zone – or when you are pushed out of your comfort zone! That’s what Moola does – and that’s why Moola means a lot to wise men who are perfectly aware that unless the thorn goes deep into your heart – you will not awaken. And the sole purpose of Moola and life is to awaken you so that you stop being an idiot and become aware of yourself and your actions.

Venus in All 12 Signs

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Venus signify sexual behavior, as well as love relationships. However in Astrology – one planet cannot provide the end result – it provides the end result based on it association and aspects with other planets. However in this podcast I am simply going to quickly give you a taste of Venus in all 12 signs.

Venus in Aries gets quickly in physical relationship. This is a very candid position for Venus – such a native wants to mingle quickly and so if you have Venus in Aries then you will not hesitate to get quickly physical with the woman or man you love. Aries Venus is very impulsive in love matters – they are quick to fall in love and their relationship also ends abruptly.

Venus in Taurus needs a lot of romantic dose. Such a woman or man are more filmy and generally love to add a spice of drama in their love life. Venus in Taurus woman or man are good in the art of love making, they take great interest in Kamasutra – sometime I wonder if Vatsyayana also had this placement because he scripted the Kamasutra with so much passion and dedication. Kamasutra is probably the only ancient scripture that details the various sexual positions and describes the art of love making in detail.

Venus in Gemini needs a lot of romantic talk before doing the actual sex act. These natives seem to be very much interested in all kind of sexual talks that excite them to just do it. Venus in Gemini native also has good command over language – they can say exactly those things that can make you feel good and excited. Talkative girlfriends – girlfriend who keep messaging and calling – generally have a very strong Venus in Gemini. If you fall in love with a woman with Venus in Gemini – then beware she will keep you engaged with constant messaging and phone calls.

Venus in Cancer is my favorite. I like these kind of native as they are very caring towards their relationship partners. They are very slow in their approach and generally a woman with Venus in Cancer will definetely not jump in the bed with you unless she is 100% sure about your character, and unless she feel 100% secure in your company. Once you have a girlfriend with Venus in Cancer then you are in safe hands because she will take a lot of care and sometimes you will feel that she is just the way your mother is – very caring, loving and understanding my nature! My favorite therefore is Venus in Cancer.

Venus in Leo is all about showoff. These natives are very open about their feelings and generally they will not indulge in any shady love affairs. Instead they will openly walk together hand in hand and declare to the world – that they are in love with each other! I appreciate this placement because the woman or man is simply very liberal, not very clinging and kind of reflect a very straightforward attitude when it comes to expressing love and falling in love. Venus in Leo will not express their love verbally by saying “I love you” – instead they will show through their actions – they will give you a royal treatment, they will take you to the best restaurants in the town, they will gift you expensive items, they will take you on a long ride, so through their actions they will make you feel special and then one fine day – you would fall in love and then once they come to know that you are in love – they will propose you in a grand manner – or rather in a very dramatic way! Because Leo loves drama and they are indeed very good at it!

Venus in Virgo is all about those little things of life. A native with Venus in Virgo is indeed a very unique person – he will not talk about your new dress rather he will take care that you new dress is not spoiled. He will not appreciate your beauty – rather he will ensure that you use the best and safest beauty products and that your makeup remains intact through out the day. He will ensure that you eat hygienic food and that you remain fit and fine. So you see – Virgo native is a lover who cares for all the small things in your life and I think this is a very unique and sweet way of expressing love towards the person you love. Now the other side is that your lover may expect you to be more romantic – to go out on the street and enjoy street food, to dance in the rains – but Virgo Venus will hesitate because you may catch cold if you dance in the rains! So you see then some may address the poor Venus Virgo native as unromantic but in reality he is romantic but his too much focus on safety, hygiene, and the nature of detailing can lead to mood off! So that is why Venus in Virgo should never marry or have a relationship with Venus in Libra or Venus in Taurus – because they are too romantic, wild and happy go lucky fellows while our Virgo Venus native is a very practical, play safe type native! Maybe that is why Venus is not so happy in Virgo – and so Venus debilitates in Virgo! Debilitated Venus can also cause sexual perversion.

Venus in Libra is that wild romantic intellectual woman whom you just can’t miss. Generally this Libra Venus gives an aura of joyousness around the native. The native has very refined taste and generally will settle only for the best brands. These are very brand conscious people. They generally associate with a certain elite class of people. Even if a woman or man with Libra Venus is born in a slum area still they will rise and associate themselves with the elite class. Venus in Libra is a very interesting person. You will not be bored – because these natives are like walking encyclopedia. They are filled with poetry, and they make your life juicy because they are so juicy. A dry person – meaning a very logical calculative person will be a curse for such beautiful Venus Libra natives. Venus Libra are experts in the art of love making and they also understand the significance of a good sexual life.

Venus in Scorpio is a man of passions. He or she is so much passionate about their relationship, their work, their studies that they bring a certain depth to every situation they come across. These are intense lovers. If you fall in love with a women with Venus in Scorpio then she will not hesitate to do anything for you. She is full of passion and she expects you also to be as passionate as she is! In a way I love Venus in Scorpio – yes it is too intense, yes it is too loud, yes it is too deep, but that is what brings a certain spice in life. When a Scorpio Venus man falls in love with a woman then he will not hesitate to take risk – he will sacrifice everything just for you. Reminds of that movie – Superman – when the Hero sacrifice all his supernatural powers for the love of his life – Lois. I truly appreciate such kind of deep love – love that is ready to sacrifice – love that knows no limits – love that is willing to jump in the unknown. Love Affair is all about jumping into the unknown!

Venus in Sagittarius sign is a man of principles. He will fall in love abruptly but he will jump in the bed only when he is committed to you. He is not a man who enjoys one-night stand. She is not a woman who just sleeps for one night and then disappears. Such natives gives a lot of importance to commitment. So if you have got a girlfriend having Venus in Sagittarius then she is truly committed to you. Such natives also bring a lot of philosophy, higher ideals to their relationship. Such a woman definetely becomes a mother or wife who loves to give daily dose of morality, ethics and higher principals. In a way this is a likable placement and a sensible person would not hestitate to associate with a woman having Venus in Sagittarius simply because she knows her limits and she would never cross her line and similarly she would also expect you to remain in your limits and to not to cross the line. Such woman are idealists, philosophers and they raise the quality of life to new heights. I certainly like this placement – however please note that Venus in Cancer and Venus in Sagittarius is not a good match – one is very sensitive and caring while the other is very dashing and idealist by nature.

Venus in Capricorn native is a very pragmatic person. Such a native takes lot of time before giving a commitment. If you are having a girlfriend with this placement then she will remain very loyal to you and if you have a boyfriend with Venus in Capricorn then he will be a very loyal fellow who will always be with you in all your thick and thins of life. Venus in Capricorn takes love as a responsibility. So when he proposes you and says those three magical words – “I Love You” – he means it. First of all these native take a lot of time to propose and once they propose they will stay committed. In fact they propose only when they get strong signals that the person they love also is in love with them. Generally these are fellows who look forward to having a long term stable relationship. Gemini Venus and Leo Venus will turn them off – because Gemini Venus is like a bird who hestitates to commit and Leo Venus is a showoff person which Capricorn Venus dislikes. So apart from these two types – rest all goes well with our cool and steady Capricorn Venus natives.

Venus in Aquarius are totally like those aliens who comes from another planet. Their idea of love is very progressive, they would not mind sleeping with a women whom they love – they would not mind having a one night stand – they go by their intellectuality and less by morals and ethics. Having said this – it is not that they are people of loose characters – but is just that they don’t like to bring any rigid rules and age old traditions in between their love interests. When you love – you simply love – this is what they truly believe in and so they would not think a lot – they are spontaneous by nature – love also is spontaneous – there is no thinking, no talking but just feeling the warmth of love and just doing it and enjoying the bliss of the moment is what these natives believe in. These are not very caring natives – they also are not very emotional like Cancer Venus – and so these natives generally should not associate with girlfriend or boyfriends having Venus in Cancer. Similarly Venus in Virgo is a straight no for these natives. Aquarius loves freedom, liberal thoughts, enjoying sex without having any boundaries – all these is against the rules of Venus Virgo natives and so this marriage never works – the marriage between Venus Virgo and Venus Aquarius! Overall these are fun lovers – they are highly intellectual people and they just love to live their life in their own way – my way OR highway is what their slogan is.

Venus in Pisces is the peak of pure love. The most refined love, the most unconditional love is found with Venus in Pisces. The woman with this position is actually a very interesting character. She also takes great interest in spirituality and she understands the essence of true love. The most striking characteristic of this placement is that these native do not hesitate to sacrifice for love. They understand that True love is sacrifice. It is in giving, not in getting, not in gaining; in realizing, not in possessing, that we love! Refined love, Idealist love, Moral love, Pragmatic love, Detailing love – till now all the 11 signs showed various shades of love – but Pisces is beyond all! For Pisces – to not to be – to completely lose yourself for the sake of love is what matters above all. Venus is exalted in Pisces because Love blossoms in a selfless environment! Love grows when there is no possessiveness. And this kind of environment is only possible in the sign of Pisces – the last sign – the 12th sign – the ending of all miseries. That is why Pisces is my favorite zodiac sign. Ketu also rejoices in Pisces. Jupiter dwells in Pisces. And Venus exalts in Pisces. What else you want! This is the culmination of all great things. Venus is always very comfortable in watery signs – and so good sexual life and a promising love life is possible with Venus in Pisces.

So – Venus is beautiful but it is the sign that gives its beauty new look, new dimensions. Just the way a beautiful dress is. The dress is beautiful but it will show its charisma based on the woman or man who wears it.

And therefore signs matter a lot. The sign that your Venus has occupied for this birth is based on your past life tastes and behaviour patterns. The results of Venus in all 12 signs is a generic overview and much depends on which planet conjuncts, aspects your Venus in your personal birth chart. Always remember – when your love relationship breaks – when your wife leaves or abandons you – when your husband cheats and leaves you for another woman – because there is a past life karmic connection. Always remember nothing happens in you life without a reason. And the reason is you and your past life misdeeds. Whatever you have done, whatever you are doing,whatever you will do, is not separate and apart from you. It is your own game. If you are suffering, it is your own choice. If you are blissful, it is your own choice. No one else is responsible.

There was a newly appointed Professor. Students addressed him as Professor Sharma. Whenever Professor Sharma used to have lunch with other Professors – he noticed a strange thing. During lunch time – a young professor would sit next to him and whenever he used to open his tiffin box he would look inside the tiffin box and say “Again it is potatoes and chapatis!” Professor Sharma thought maybe the young professor doesn’t like potatoes and chapatis. But as he was new there, he didn’t say anything. Next day the same thing happened. The young professor opened his lunch box, looked in and sighed, ”The same potatoes, the same chapatis!”

So then Professor Sharma said to the young professor – ”If you don’t like potatoes why don’t you tell your wife to make something else?”

The young professor said ”Wife! What wife?
I make my lunch myself?”

This is your life. There is nobody else. If you laugh, you laugh; if you cry, you cry. No one else is responsible. You have been stupid in the past life and you have been repeating the same stupidity this life also – and so unless you become aware you will continue to bring “Potatoes and Chappatis” in your tiffin box and behave as if you never knew about it!

The day you will stop making the same “Potatoes and Chappatis” – you will start enjoying your tiffin box – your love life.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Planet That Rules Relationships

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

The status of Relationship is totally based on the transit of planets and the Mahadasha periods. It is ncessary to note that some Relationships do well as long as they are not converted into marriage. Because when marriage happens – 7th house is activated as well as all the aspects to 7th house and 7th house lord are activated. And so if your 7th house and aspects related to 7th house lord are not in good condition then it is likely that the moment you marry your long-time girlfriend or boyfriend – the marriage may not work and may fail miserably and you may start wondering that what went wrong? You wonder that for so many years you had a good relationship with your partner but the moment you got married to your partner – things started becoming worse – and evantually marriage became a punishment when it was supposed to become a beautiful rewarding marriage!

That is why many times I suggest that you better remain in a relationship rather then getting married because the moment you get married – you may start going through unbearable suffering. So it is advisable that you first check the quality of your 7th house and 7th house lord and then decide whether you really want to marry your boyfriend or girlfriend. Because if your 7th house or if your partner’s 7th house is afflicted then it is likely that after marriage your partner’s behaviour would change drastically and that would lead you to many miseries than otherwise.

Many times – you love somebody but you end up marrying someone else. Why this kind of tragic events happen in your life? Because somewhere your Venus is not in good shape. Venus Mars, Venus Rahu, Venus Ketu, Venus Sun – these types of Venus conjunctions many times lead you to altogether new path wherein you have to drop the idea of marrying your girlfriend and marry a totally new woman. So this kind of tragic events can definately impact you emotionally – but if the woman whom you are marrying – if that woman has a good character, a good 7th house aspect and a good Venus then definately she can make your life a heaven – though it may take time for you to come out of those memories of your past life relationship.

There is absolutely no answer or remedy to overcome or escape such events because it is a part of your destiny and it is a process through which you are destined to go through. Every process and the sufferings that you go through – shapes you into a much evolved person. There is a big difference when you read the quote of Buddha – “Life is suffering” and when you yourself go through the phases of your life and self realize that Life is suffering! Your own experience matters than what others say or quote!

Although – Acceptance – is the key that help you to Let Go and when you truly Let Go – you can move on with your life. But to come to the stage of Acceptance – it takes time. Time heals. So whenever you come across such difficult relationship situations – breakup, divorce, cheating, backstabing – it is necessary that you give time to yourself. It is only time that can heal you – because as time ticks – planetary transits also change, Mahadasha periods also change and with this change – slowly slowly you also change, your perspective changes – your mind changes and that is how life starts changing and then once again you start smiling, laughing and life goes on!

Yesterday a young man asked “Why is it that after a enjoying a good life with me – my girlfriend left me and married other man?”
I smiled and showed him the quote of Neem Karoli Baba – Baba says “We meet only those people with whom our meeting is predestined. Duration of association with each person is also preordained. One should not grieve if one is separated or if the association does not last long. Whereever you maybe, all that is auspicious will be with you.”

The duration of association with your girlfriend or boyfriend or wife or husband is preordained. When time comes – either you or your partner will have to step out. This stepping out can manifest either through fights, arguements, misunderstandings, or physical death. Because you will meet when you are destined to meet and then your meeting or relationship will be over when you are destined to come out of that relationship. So there is no point in grieving because nothing is permenant – people change, situations change, as planetary transits change – the situations and people in your life – including yourself – everthing changes. Life is constant change. Except for change everything else changes – always remember this.

It is natural to feel low, to feel extremely sad when you go through a breakup or divorce or when your partner cheat you – but you should remember that this too shall pass. Life is made of moments – for many past births you may have gone through such difficult situations – this is not the first time that somebody has broke your heart – but because you are ignorant – you break down and then it becomes difficult until time flows and one day you woke up and realize that what an idiot you have been!

This waking up happens when Jupiter transits is positive for your chart and when you land in a good Mahadasha period – and most importantly you associate yourself with some divine master.

Just by being in the presence of the master – slowly slowly you start coming out of this emotional mess and a day comes when you are again smiling, again happy and again ready to mingle and find a good positive happy partner!

This is how the circle of life continues that is why it is called Sansar. Sansar means a wheel – it goes on revolving – again and again and again until one day you say “Enough is Enough” and you start following that old man – who is still waiting for you – sitting beneath that huge banyan tree – he smiles and says “Ab Akal Ayi?” meaning “Finally now you have realized the futility of this Sansar?”

But to come to this state of self realization – it requires a lot of faith, patience and commitment. And above all – Guru’s blessings. Enough for now – you all stay happy and remember – life is suffering. You come in this life to seek happiness but Guru Nanak says “Nanak Dukhiya Sab Sansar” meaning “All in this world are unhappy”. Further Guru Nanak says “Only those who have walked on the path of the beyond – only these men and women can experience happiness.

The path of the beyond – that is the path of the Holy Lord. Unless and until you self-realize this ultimate truth – there is no way you can find lasting happiness in life. My love and blessings to all those who are taking efforts to walk on the path of the beyond!

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
