Auspicious and Inauspicious Colors Astrology

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

There is NO such thing as auspicious and inauspicious color in this human life – if I may say so. We think that we SEE by our eyes – but in reality we all SEE by our MIND!

So we see and the MIND goes on creating many illusions – for a minute keep aside the mind and then the question of what color is good or bad – will simply cease to exist!

Let me tell you and to all my readers, followers and fellow travelers- that if a BLACK garment is offered by Sai Baba to you then tell me – and I say it again – tell me – won’t you keep that utterly BLACK garment close to your heart?

It is the MIND – (the MOON). Colors that you like – are the likes of the MOON – your MIND and the Mind is just a traffic of thoughts that hold no connection to the REALITY of THINGS.

But people want entertainment so then they try to see which color suits which ascendant or moon sign. In reality the TRUTH is that it is all MIND GAME – the reality – the existence is simply happy to relate with you – no matter what color shades you use.

It all depends on the PERCEPTION.

Everything changes with your clarity of perception. When your eyes change, everything changes. – Osho

Always remember if you are living with consciousness- if you are living with love – if there is a certain light of awareness within you then no matter what color you wear or color you use – it will always bring good quality to your life.

What you are from WITHIN is what matters. If you are conscious, if you are living with a certain awareness within then whatever you do – will succeed and if there is absolutely no consciousness, no awareness within you then no matter what you do – will fail. You will get the results based on what you are – WITHIN. Look within. – Osho

When I was in my mid twenties – I was very attracted towards the bright vibrant colors.

Wherever I would go for shopping- I would buy bright vibrant shades. Then slowly time started changing. Then slowly I started changing – then everything around was the same but I was no more the same. Then the meditations then the prayers then the love and life was no more the same! That is the miracle of love and blessing of the compassionate master, the benevolent master. And so now I like light shades – in fact now I like only one shade and that is WHITE. PURE WHITE.

So the point I am trying to make and help you and all my dear followers and readers is that there is no such thing as auspicious and inauspicious colors – there is only one thing – DARK OR LIGHT SHADES! And that’s all!

So if your LAGNA is KUMBH with MEEN RASHI or any other LAGNA – all shades are available to you – to use – the question that you should ask yourself – what quality of shade you want to use – DARK or LIGHT!

AND this is deep. The whole essence is in just one thing – and I specifically say it to all my readers and followers – that ask yourself – at this moment in your life what quality of shade you like – DARK or LIGHT?

DARK simply conveys that you are still at the base level of consciousness.

LIGHT simply conveys that you are now evolving to the higher altitudes of God Consciousness.

And the most beautiful peak comes when you are NO MORE caught up in the Dark or Light shades but NOW you simply love only one color that has no color – no dark and no light – it is called WHITE!

WHITE is a shade that relates to the planet VENUS!

And VENUS is LOVE – unconditional LOVE – PURE LOVE – and therefore VENUS EXALTS in the sign of PISCES – a sign that I love the most – a sign that rules the 12th house – the house of MOKSHA – the house of liberation – the house where the Buddha sits and meditates!

And so see – the answer has come – it is WHITE. You are a PISCES and colors are meant for the MIND – the REALITY has nothing to with any shade. We choose color because we see through our MIND! The BUDDHA would NEVER MIND of what color you offer him because the BUDDHA simply rejoices in a state of NO MIND!

Just out of compassion and love – I am sharing the fact that only WHITE is the shade that surpasses all the shades – it simply shows purity- love , openness and compassion.

When in doubt – always select White. Not because it has to do with auspicious or in-auspiciousness BUT simply because it is ABOVE ALL the notions that hold you back – because it simply sets you free.

Black is to hold on – possessive.

White is to LET GO – total freedom.

And the story of human life is caught up between Black & White! Between Rahu & Ketu.

Rahu wants to cling – possess. Ketu is simply willing to Let Go!

White is a Let Go.

Meditation is a Let Go says the spiritual master – Osho.

Lord SHIVA is the EPITOME of LETTING GO – the EPITOME OF living life with ACCEPTANCE – nobody could accept the ‘poison’ but LORD SHIVA ACCEPTS the poison – drinks it just to SAVE THE WHOLE UNIVERSE – and LORD SHIVA simply rejoices in WHITE – even the flowers we offer to HIS HOLINESS is of WHITE SHADE!

What a coincidence – today is also MONDAY – a DAY to celebrate the WHITE – the PURE – the SHIVA!

And so I have seen that whosoever is following a meditative way of life – who are living in a Let Go – who are living with Acceptance- they slowly slowly start finding comfort in only one shade – WHITE.

And so I never do any discrimination by categorizing anything as good or bad – because after all EVERYTHING is GOD’s Creation and the compassionate master – the divine man whom I love the most – expresses this reality in words that should be written in Gold.

Everything is perfect in God’s creation. Ignorance and suffering exist only in the minds of people. – Ramana Maharshi

Love and Light to all my fellow travelers and followers.

Do follow me on ‘ My Quora Space’.

And always remember – no man or no woman, no color and no day is good or bad – it is what we reflect from within – if a thief can transform into a great Saint – if an utterly hopeless man can transform into the most beautiful person the world had ever known – and you all know – through my sharing I have shared many such real life examples – then tell me – how can we go on labeling someone as auspicious or inauspicious? Always remember – the BAD can TRANSFORM into the GOOD! And always remember – the GOOD – at some point in his life was also BAD!

Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.

It is within US – within our hands to transform anything that is BAD into GOOD and WE CAN DO IT – only and only if we are willing to turn inwards and self-realize the many many deeper aspects of this ‘journey’ called life.

A woman born on a specific nakshatra is deserted by the society. A man born on a certain aspect is condemned by the society. The society is fake – because the same society goes on lecturing on how to NOT to discriminate! When in reality at every moment of life the society goes on discriminating – making life more difficult than it already is!

But the compassionate master will always ACCEPT you – no matter what color you are wearing on – no matter what nakshatra you are born – no matter how bad the people label your horoscope – the master will always accept you – the larger question is – whether you are willing to come, whether you are willing to SURRENDER!

There are many more things to share but for today, enough.

Meditate and let the ‘journey within’ begin.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Astrological Guide to Baby Naming

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Although there are millions of names for boys – new born baby boys – still every mother and every father – especially the ‘new mother’ – always in search of a unique name for her baby-boy.

Today I would love to share one name that has recently come to my awareness and it is a beautiful name – especially all my insightful followers and readers – who LOVE Ketu – will definitely like this new name.

But before I share with you all the new unique name that reflect a certain beautiful positive vibration – there is a beautiful story – a incident that is mentioned in the ‘Chandogya Upanishad’. In one of the chapters, a wonderful incident is illustrated in which the great Sage Uddalaka reveals the very source of existence to his son. The great sage Uddalaka asks his son to bring a fruit of the Banyan tree.

The obedient son plucks a fruit from the banyan tree and comes back to his father – the great sage Uddalaka and says “Here it is Father, I have got the fruit.”

“Break it” says Sage Uddalaka

“It is broken, Father.”

“What do you see there?”

“These seeds, plenty of them, almost infinitesimal.”

“Break one of the seeds.”

“It is broken, Father.”

“What do you see?”

“NOTHING, Father. Absolutely Nothing.”

The Father said, “My son, that subtle essence which you do not perceive, of that very essence this great banyan tree exists. Believe it, my son, that there is this subtle essence in all things that are existing. That is the truth. The real truth.

The Banyan tree is a huge tree. The Father asks for a fruit, and the son brings it. Fruit is the thing that has flowered, fruition has happened. Fruit is the most peripheral thing, absolutely manifested. The Father says “Break it”. The obedient son breaks it – millions of seeds are seen inside the fruit. The father says “Break any one seed.”

The son breaks a seed. Now there is NOTHING – inside the seed – there is NOTHING.

Sage Uddalaka says “Out of this NOTHINGNESS comes the seed. Out of the seed comes the tree. Out of the tree comes the fruit. But the basis is NOTHINGNESS – the silence, the emptiness, the formless, the un-manifest, the beyond, the transcendental.”

Everything comes from NOTHINGNESS.

KETU is this state of NOTHINGNESS!

“Scientists have known for centuries that ‘NOTHING’ is the key to understanding absolutely everything, from why particles have the mass to expansion of the universe – so without ‘NOTHING’ we’d be precisely nowhere.” – Jeremy Webb (From the book – ‘NOTHING’)

The very first STAR (NAKSHATRA) of the Zodiac Cycle is the Nakshatra of KETU – ASWINI!

From ASWINI – (NOTHINGNESS) begins the journey of LIFE!

The very source of LIFE is through NOTHINGNESS – (KETU)!

And now I will reveal you all – my fellows, the name, the unique name that this morning I wanted to share with you all – it is the name of the great Sage Uddalaka’s son – Svetketu!

The son who followed the instructions of his father (Sage Uddalaka) – was known as Svetketu!

What a beautiful name – Svetketu.

The meaning is so beautiful – it simply means Purified Ketu (Svet- white – purification) Svetketu.

This week by Sunday – I must be able to share with you all the first glimpse of my new book “Why Ketu Can Heal” – releasing by end of this month – positively! I have been receiving many email from insightful readers who are waiting for the release – but the printing and the logistics is taking some time, though by end of this month – the book should be available worldwide on all Amazon sites.

Those whose baby boy is born on Aquarius Moon Sign (KUMBH) – need to find a name that starts from the letter ‘S’! And so if your baby boy is born Aquarius than you can certainly think of this beautiful name “Svetketu’!

Interestingly – in my life all those men and women whose name begins from ‘S’ have been a lucky for me! There is something special in this letter ‘S’ – Sukh, Samruddhi, Shanti !

Although I don’t have a son or a daughter, I am a ‘Modern Monk’ living in this big concrete city – but I always love to share names that can add positivity to your newly born son or daughter’s life.

Always remember – life is all about VIBRATIONS. Unique names are good but when you select unique names – please first check the VIBRATIONS that reflect from a certain name and whether those VIBRATIONS are suitable to your newly born baby boy or girl.

The ancient seers have given one start point to choose a particular name – that start point is the starting LETTER (Alphabet/ Akshar) from which you should choose the most beautiful name for your baby.

Now let us see the starting AKSHAR/ALPHABET as per the MOON NAKSHATRA on which your baby is born:

ASWINI – CHU, CHE, CHO, LA
BHARANI – LE, LU, LI, LO
KRITTIKA – AA, EI, U, AE
ROHINI – O, VA, VE, VU
MRIG – VE, VO, KA, KI
ARDRA – KU, GH, CHA
PUNARVASU – KE, KO, HA, HE
PUSHYA – HU, H, HO, DA
ASHLESHA – DE, DI, DO
MAGHA – MA, MI, MU, ME
PURVAFALGUNI – MO, TA, TE, TU
UTTARAFALGUNI – TE, TO, PA, PI
HASTA – PU, SHA, THA
CHITRA – PE, PO, RA, RE
SWATI – RU, RE, RO, TA
VISHAKHA – TE, TU, TAE, TO
ANURADHA – NA, NE, NU, NE
JYESHTHA – NO, YA,YE, YU
MOOLA – YE, YO, BHA, BHI
PURVASHADHA – BHU, DHA, PHA, DHA
UTTARSHADHA – BHE, BHO, JA, JE
SHRAVAN – KHE, KHU, KHE, KHO
DHANISHTA – GA, GI, GU, GE
SHATTARAKA – GO, SA, SI, SU
PURVABHADRAPAD – SE, SO, DA, DE
UTTARABHADRAPAD – DU, JHA, NYA, THA
REVATI – DE, DO, CHA, CHI

So you see – it is not just the MOON SIGN – but you have to go to the root – the NAKSHATRA to find the actual starting LETTER or Alphabet – based on which you can finalize astrologically suitable name for your baby.

For example – if a baby boy is born on Shattaraka Nakshatra – then his moon sign is Aquarius, but the most suitable starting letter for his name is:

SHATTARAKA – GO, SA, SI, SU

So he can be named as “Govind” or “Sanjog” or “Siva” or “Suketu/ Svetketu”.

Everything is made available to you – the ancient Seers were so great that they have allocated a perfect ‘starting LETTER’ for a child born on a certain NAKSHATRA!

This sharing is especially for those fellows who were not aware of this beautiful treasure that the ancient seers had shared millions of years ago. I am certain that this information will benefit you all – especially those who are getting married, planning child birth or just became ‘mom’ and ‘daddy’!

A woman is no more the same woman – once she becomes a ‘Mother’ – she is an absolutely new woman – a new life awaits her – a new ‘life’ is born out of her!

It is only in the HUMAN WORLD – that certain woman never become a Mother!

It never happens in an animal world – but in human world we do see many – millions and millions of women who are yet to become a mother – yet the ‘blossoming of a new life’ is yet to happen – yet to manifest!

Always remember – that everything is POSSIBLE – and I say it specifically to all those women who are trying to become mother but not yet successful. There is every possibility that you can become a mother – you just have to become more and more aware – you just have to keep all ‘options’ open – you just have to keep saying “I will NEVER give up.”

The ‘baby’ that you seek – is also seeking you – that’s the message for all ‘want-to-be’ mothers!

It is the nature of the human – that what he or she doesn’t have – they long for it. And then the moment they have it – the longing never ends – just the focus of the longing changes – first they wanted a child – once the child comes – then the longing for child ends and the longing for something new begins! The longing or the desires NEVER end.

You think that by attaining fame and money – you will be happy. But the moment you attain the fame and the money – you realize that – it’s NOT the answer.

But the question of human desires is far deeper than said. Unless a human being attains his or her desire – the way beyond cannot appear – cannot manifest!

And that is why as long as your DESIRE does not cause any HARM to others – I encourage every individual to attain his or her DESIRE – because unfulfilled desires compels you to take BIRTHS and REBIRTHS – but fulfilled desires at least gives you a GROUND – you can then decide if you still want to continue running behind new desires – or you want to come back HOME.

This ‘decision’ is based on your LEVEL of CONSCIOUSNESS, and your level of consciousness is based on the GRACE of the MASTER. And the GRACE of the MASTER flows your way only when you start living your life in TOTAL SURRENDER – it is all inter-linked, it is all LinkedIn!

Krishna says to Arjuna – SURRENDER to ME.

Jesus says to Peter – SURRENDER TO ME. FOLLOW ME.

Buddha says to Ananda – SURRENDER TO ME. REMEMBER MY WORDS.

The divine masters simply encourage you to live your LIFE by SURRENDERING YOURSELF to THEIR OMNIPRESENCE.

To all my fellow followers and readers – the only solution to all your miseries and the difficult times of life that you are going through is in one word – SURRENDER.

The most beautiful men and the most beautiful women have lived their life in total SURRENDER – at the feet of the Master!

You too can become beautiful – and to do so – you don’t need ‘make-up’ – you don’t need a ‘fair- white’ skin – all you need is a HEART that is willing to live in SURRENDER!

When you surrender to HIM, HE takes control of your life and when HE is in the driving seat – you know – you know very well – that you are going to be – just fine. 😊

Albert Einstein says “BEFORE GOD – we are equally wise and equally foolish.”

GOD is GOOD all the TIME. No matter how much human being try to become GOD – he will never become GOD – because GOD is not a person – but the ultimate fragrance of your CONSCIOUSNESS!

Come – come back home – when you meditate – you come back to your source – home!

Sit down, take a deep breath and LET GO – just LET GO of all your thoughts – and focus on your breathing – focus on the Lord’s holy name and MEDITATE.

Meditate every day and always remember – YOU – are not alone.

When you instill the art of meditation in your son, your daughter – you are doing a great service to the world.

Sanskar (culture) should not be just limited to outward appearances – the real Sanskar (culture) is when the ‘change’ starts happening WITHIN and not just Outward.

Meditate and help your children to grow in the true sense by encouraging them to meditate for a few minutes – every day.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Strengthen Weak Planets Easily

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Existence provides you with exactly that which is in your interest- in your favor.

To existence there is nothing such as WEAK or STRONG. It is something that the MIND goes on judging whereas the existence cannot judge because if the existence goes on judging then when will it have the time to Love – to nurture – to provide?

People fall in the trap of strengthening the planets and then they also are fooled by those who make them believe that planets can be strengthened!

If that was the case – if that was the reality then there are millionaires across this human world who have children who are utterly useless and a great nuisance to their life. How difficult would it be for these millionaires and billionaires to buy the best the most expensive gemstones and strengthen their useless kids who do nothing but just enjoy a comfortable life at the cost of their billionaire father or mother?

To you and through your question to all my readers and followers- I want to make it crystal clear that the very idea to strengthen a planet in your horoscope is futile idea and can be of no help but an entertaining experience and at times it can also boomerang!

To strengthen means – trying to interfere with the flow of Life.

Let Life Flow; don’t interfere. – Osho

Only human beings go on interfering by trying to manipulate and in the process they lose the whole essence of life – leading them to many miseries – to many difficulties.

It is very difficult to know exactly what good should come out of a particular situation. To attempt to manipulate circumstances so that your idea of good can come about is to let the ego play God – and that as you know, can and does backfire. – Neem Karoli Baba

The very idea or thought that ‘ My Venus or my Mars or my Jupiter or my Saturn” should be strengthened ‘ – comes because you have some ‘ideal’ of – HOW IT SHOULD BE!

And that is the problem – that is the whole problem – that people are always trying to see – HOW IT SHOULD BE – people are not happy to go with the flow and then they start interfering – they forget the fact that ‘GOD’ has provided them with ‘PERFECT MEASUREMENTS’ that is GOOD for them – for their REAL GROWTH!

Weak Venus is good for SPIRITUAL GROWTH!

Exalted Venus or Venus is its own sign or nakshatra is a hindrance to spiritual growth.

Venus is NOT related to the actual ACT OF SEX. Venus is related to SEXUAL ORGANS.

The actual ACT of SEX is driven by MARS. And so for spiritual growth – there should be NO CONTACT between MARS and VENUS.

When MARS is with VENUS – then the person is 100% SEXUAL – has a strong libido and also attracts SEXUAL partners!

You always attract that which is WITHIN you!

And so what is good for what is best decided by the almighty GOD.

For a man who is chosen by GOD – God would definitely not want him to have a strong Venus or any connection between Mars and Venus in his birth chart.

So if you ask me – then all those men and women who have weak Venus (VIRGO VENUS) are men who are CHOSEN by GOD!

GOD chooses first, then you start feeling a hunger for him…men can not choose God, it is God who chooses man. – Osho

Having a weak VENUS (Virgo Venus) is perfectly fine – it is a signal that God has something far better for you!

From spiritual growth perspective – weak Venus is okay but what is NOT okay is when VENUS is with MARS or with RAHU. Such men or women’s sexuality is too much fired up and they look very HOT and APPEALING and their whole ‘world’ is different than those who are simple – sweet – and subtle – with a weak Venus!

Nothing in this world can be labelled as GOOD or BAD – because it is all SITUATIONAL!

For SEX – a beautiful sexy woman is always desirable. There is absolutely nothing wrong to have this expectation as LONG as you are living a material life.

For SPIRITUALITY – no partner is desirable. You are HAPPY TO BE ALONE!

And only a spiritual man or spiritual woman can truly understand the essence of love because only a spiritual being can learn how to be alone!

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

The greatest Yogis have absolutely NO planets in exaltation! Because the whole essence of attaining spirituality is to let all planets fade away – and when there are absolutely NO PLANETS – then the ‘SELF’ speaks – that is the stage of a true YOGI.

Long back, I had met a great Yogi and he was such a simple man. He had travelled the whole world, met many Presidents and many Queens and Kings and yet he was so humble. And one day when I was present in HIS omnipresence, one astrologer came and asked “Can I see your birth chart to see where are your planets placed?”

And the great Yogi looked into his eyes and said “ Now there are no planets left – they all have gone, now there is NOTHING.”

How deep is this answer, how beautiful is this answer – so much so is to this answer – only a meditative being can understand – only a man of heart can relate to these beautiful words of the master!

The spiritual journey is towards NOTHINGNESS! When all planets have gone – when there is absolutely no say of any planets – then you have truly ARRIVED – then you have become the BUDDHA – then you have gone BEYOND!

The material men and women are behind STRENGTHEING the planets.

The spiritual men and women are simply taking the ‘efforts’ to drop all the planets – one by one – and reach towards the SHUNYA – the NOTHINGNESS – the BEYOND!

Everything comes from nothingness and goes back to nothingness. Nothingness is the basis of existence. – Sadhguru

It all depends on what you are. It all depends on what is the PATH that you have chosen? If your chosen PATH is the path of self realization, of spirituality than you have to simply live with your WEAK VENUS because that is in your favor, in your interest.

If your chosen path is the path of seeking pleasures of body – even then you have to learn to live by ACCEPTING the fact that GOD wants you have limited pleasures of body because GOD doesn’t want you to Get Dragged into TOO MUCH Sex and TOO MUCH of indulgence in pleasure seeking activities – because GOD has in store for you something that is superior – something that is of higher altitudes!

Jesus answered and said to him, “What I am doing, you do not understand now, but you will understand later.

The WEAK planets that you or anyone who is reading this answer has – need to realize that this is the part of the PROCESS – the PLAN through which GOD wants you to go – because GOD knows what is BEST for you.

WEAK VENUS is GOOD. AFFLICTED VENUS is BAD.

Understand the difference, savor the difference.

Just a VENUS placed alone in VIRGO with absolutely no negative aspects on it is a good sign.

But a VENUS associated or afflicted with MARS, RAHU, KETU is not a good sign – because it impacts the SEXUAL BEHAVIOUR. The person is either TOO MUCH into SEX – thinking always about SEX or does SEX not by the sexual organs but by using the finger – to which in Indian Context we address as “HASTA-MAITHUN” – meaning penetrating the vagina by using the finger and not the penis.

So many such instances happen – long back a woman had come and she looked very upset. When asked she said that her husband always does sex by using his finger and not his penis – “HASTA-MAITHUN”!

SEX is not bad – but it becomes bad when VENUS is afflicted by RAHU or MARS in a negative way.

Even for VENUS RAHU or VENUS MARS – there is a positive angle just the way there is a negative angle!

You cannot label anything – because as mentioned before – everything is SITUATIONAL and with just a change in placement – many factors change for good or bad.

Human beings consider themselves as intelligent but before GOD their intelligence cannot work. The ‘children’ are always children before the FATHER who created them!

Before God we are all equally wise and equally foolish. – Albert Einstein

Albert Einstein – the only scientist who I love, and who believed in God!

The more I study science, the more I believe in God. – Albert Einstein

Those who try to MANIPULATE matters of life – are not in the true sense – believers of GOD! A true GOD-Believer would NEVER try to STRENGTHEN or WEAKEN or do any kind of MANIPULATION with what GOD has provided him with!

Trust is accepting what God “sends into your life whether you understand it or not. – Timothy Keller

A woman said “ My lover left me, he dumped me, he simply left me forever, he didn’t even bothered to let me know that he is breaking with me.”

Situations change. And man or woman has absolutely NO CONTROL over it. They try many ways to MANIPULATE – some try BLACK MAGIC, some feel that the BLACK MAGICIAN is GOD and HE can do anything under the sky – in reality GOD is laughing up in the sky – because the Black Magician starts feeling as if he has become the GOD – it is like a child who starts believing that he has become the FATHER!

Many people go to black magicians and many have ‘MANIPULATED’ matters of their life by using such manipulative magics – but in the END – they have suffered tremendously – so much so that it is beyond the power of words to express the terrible state of their life that they eventually end up with!

A young man once paid 40,000 to a black magician – his sister’s Venus was weak, marriage was not happening. And so he paid the money to the black magician. The black magician performed his magic – within 4 months his sister got married.

Everybody was happy – they all thought how smart they were. How smartly they had manipulated the SCRIPT written by GOD.

And GOD was WATCHING. GOD was SMILING. Because GOD knows everything.

Exactly after 6 months – his sister got DIVORCED.

No matter how much you try to MANIPULATE using all kind of magics or voodoo spells or tantra – you CANNOT become GOD – you cannot become the WRITER – the WRITER is GOD and when GOD WRITES – it cannot be erased, if you try to erase then you will eventually find yourself in a mess – a deep mess!

But who wants to listen?

Life should be lived by ACCEPTING all that GOD provides you with a sense of GRATITUDE.

A man becomes a BUDDHA the moment he accepts all that life brings with gratitude. – Osho

People are NOT willing to ACCEPT. The questioner is also not willing to ACCEPT the fact that his Venus is weak. What is wrong in ACCEPTING? But people cannot understand and because they cannot understand they go on rejecting, they go on rebelling – they forget the fact that they can progress only when they go with the flow – and not against the flow!

Last month my new book “Beauty of Acceptance” is published internationally on all Amazon sites – I would encourage my readers to avail a copy whenever they find time – because unless you understand the significance of ACCEPTANCE – you cannot move on and unless you move on with your life – you cannot progress in the true sense!

A glimpse of my new book “Beauty of Acceptance.”

Once you learn to ACCEPT the WEAK planets in your chart – life starts changing for GOOD!

And this is a fact – a proven fact – the beauty of acceptance is beyond the power of expression!

Interestingly WEAK planets bring abundance of MONEY.

Whereas Exalted Planets bring abundance of GOOD QUALITIES (GUNA) within the individual.

The scholars project Lord Rama horoscope with all planets in EXALT state – now tell me – what good did they did for RAMA – because half of his life went in the jungles and in fighting the army of Ravana! So exalt planets have nothing to do with luxuries and money but has more to do with QUALITIES. EXALT PLANET means EXALTED SUPERIOR QUALITIES, SUPERIOR VALUES, SUPERIOR PRINCIPLES.

In today’s AGE – the more corrupt (NEECH- meaning debilitated) you are – the more money you have! What a strange mathematics it is – but that is the reality of this KALI YUG!

So weak Venus often brings more money.

Many men and women who have VIRGO VENUS are millionaires.

Swiss tennis champion Roger Federer, Model Actress Kim Kardashian, Super Star Actress Julia Roberts, Meghan Markle who recently got married to Prince Harry.

So many well known wealthy men and women are born with VIRGO VENUS.

VIRGO VENUS is not always WEAK VENUS. LOVE suffers because of weak Venus – but life is like a see-saw – if at one end LOVE is at the down side – then MONEY is at the UPSIDE!

And that is how the loss is squared up – God offers more money and less love!

The reason why seesaw has two seats is because that way there is always someone to bring you up when you go down.

When Weak Venus takes you DOWN on the LOVE ANGLE – on the other side there is always MONEY to bring you UPSIDE – so weak VENUS is not as bad as it is being framed by the ignorant society.

When you have WEAK VENUS all you have to do is to take the INITIATIVE to LOVE others. If you wait for LOVE to flow towards you then you will always be in the ‘waiting list’ – if you really want LOVE – if you really seek LOVE – if you really want HAPPINESS – than you have to take the FIRST STEP.

Be a reflection of what you’d like to receive. If you want love, give love. If you want truth, be truthful. If you want respect, give respect. What you give out will return to you.

Whatever you do to others – it comes BACK TO YOU – multiplied.

There are men and women who do many terrible things BEHIND THE CURTAINS – they think nobody is watching them – but they forget the law of the universe – that whatever you do (secretly or openly) comes back to you – because where else will it go? Whatever you throw on others come back to you – and so be aware of your ACTIONS – when you throw – throw a beautiful ROSE – so that many roses may fall back on you – showering with LOVE and JOY!

The only reason for VENUS falling in VIRGO sign is the contrasting nature. The nature of VIRGO sign is pure MERCURIAN – meaning HEAD, LOGIC, ANALYSIS, MICRO MANAGING. Whereas the nature of beautiful VENUS is totally illogical – VENUS (LOVES) knows NO LOGIC, NO CONDITIONS, NO HEAD – when you LOVE – you simply LOVE!

And so when LOVE (VENUS) is in the DRY SIGN (VIRGO) – you can imagine the discomfort of VENUS. It is like a woman full of life, full of energy suddenly finding herself in a dry arid desert land! But if the weather is good (meaning other placements are supportive) then the DESERTS also appear – BEAUTIFUL!

So there is absolutely no need to strengthen weak Venus. Because what GOD does is always in your interest – the FATHER knows what is best for HIS Son or daughter!

The message that I want to give to all my readers and followers is that PLEASE DO NOT GET TRAPPED or DEPRESSED when anybody tells you that you have a WEAK PLANET because behind that WEAKNESS – there is a beautiful story that GOD has scripted and which is in your benefit.

Always remember – GOD writes the story of our life – but while writing the story – at many occasions just the way a writer has choices to make – similarly GOD also has choices to make but the good thing about GOD is that GOD lets us make the CHOICE – so when HE is writing that on a beautiful evening you met a beautiful girl – he is leaving the choice with you – whether you want to make her your partner or whether you want someone else – if you select her – the story goes ahead with ‘marriage’ or an intense ‘relationship’.

If you just have a cup of tea with her and some nice chit chat and that’s all – then the story takes a different turn – she is dropped and someone else is standing – waiting for you at the other end.

So while writing the story of your life – GOD gives us a CHOICE to make – at every moment of our life!

And it is the CHOICE that you make – goes on shaping your DESTINY!

Today whatever YOU are – whatever I am – is because of the CHOICES that we made in our past lives.

Now your next question must be – how can we make the right choice?

And the answer is “CONSCIOUSNESS”

The greater the consciousness – the greater is quality of CHOICE.

A man of awareness will make the right choice – he will not fall for the APPEARANCES – he will be very careful, very cautious, and very patient until he takes the FIRST STEP towards selecting the partner of his life!

But someone who simply FALLS for the LOOKS – the APPERANCES will MISS – will simply MISS and make WRONG CHOICES. TEMPTATIONS are of the MIND – and the MIND is very quick to GIVE IN – because the MIND is HIGHLY SEXUAL BY NATURE!

Those who have been following me – are aware of the fact that I have been sharing from the very beginning that MOON (MIND) is highly SEXUAL by nature!

It is said that certain seers have referred to the 27 Nakshatras as 27 wives of the MOON!

Managing one wife is so difficult and 27 wives! You can now imagine how much sexual and womanizer – the MOON is by nature!

The most beautiful man, the most beautiful woman is the one who simply goes with the FLOW OF LIFE!

Once you understand that you GROW when you don’t interfere in your own life, you will start progressing in the true sense. – Osho

People and the FAKE society spread all kind of fake messages – they say that if you don’t get married than you will not attain GOD!

MARRIAGE has absolutely nothing to do with GOD. Marriage is an institution which is formed on practical reasons – it is NOT just a sexual union but a union of two families – a proper deal that brings strength to both families – marriages have been used from the beginning of time by Emperors and Kings to strengthen their political ambitions and motives. So never mix marriage with love – marriage is a working relation while LOVE is an altogether different matter!

It doesn’t matter if you are married or not, it only matters how much you love God. – Neem Karoli Baba

Great Saints and Yogis always have had a weak Venus. Because the PATH they have chosen for many lives after lives is the PATH OF GOD – PATH OF JUPITER and so when they are walking on the path of JUPITER – the other path (VENUS) is bound to be on the weaker side!

How deep is this and how beautiful – I hope this answer remains for those who are seekers of the TRUTH – the ultimate truth.

JUPITER is the GURU of the DEVTAS (Gods).

VENUS is the GURU of the DEMONS (ASURA/RAKSHAS/BHOGI)

So both are GURUS – it is like one is DON from DUBAI (VENUS) – while the other is the DON from ROME (The Holy POPE)!

So if you are on you way towards ROME – the connection with the DON of DUBAI is going to be weak – that’s natural!

And so it all depends on which WAY your journey is on?

The PATH decides what DESTINATION you are going to reach!

And then there are a few like me – a few like my insightful readers and unique followers who simply don’t bother about destination. Once you are set on a beautiful path – the path towards the beyond – the higher altitudes of consciousness then who cares for the destination?

If the path be beautiful, let us not ask where it leads. – Anatole France

The moment you are set on the PATH shown by the benevolent master – then you simply start enjoying the JOURNEY – and a times comes in your life when the JOURNEY becomes the DESTINATION!

I pray to GOD that may all my readers and followers find their PATH and enjoy the JOURNEY – because the moment the JOURNEY begins – the question of destination never arise – it never can!

The journey, Not the destination matters. – T. S. Eliot

When you lose your job, when your lover leaves you alone, when you face many failures in your life – REMEMBER – it is all a part of the JOURNEY on which you are set – if you are a conscious person, if you are a man of awareness then you will NOT look back – instead you will continue to walk – because when you continue to walk with GRATITUDE in your heart – GOD makes sure that the ‘WAY’ ahead starts appearing before you!

The question is “Are you willing to continue to walk with FAITH and PATIENCE in your heart?”

If your answer is YES – then watch my words – remember my words – YOU ARE GOING TO FIND THE WAY – YOU ARE GOING TO FIND WHAT YOU SEEK.

Always remember – what you seek – is also seeking YOU!

Love to all my readers and followers.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

When Do Houses Activate Daily?

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Every Single Day – each house of all the 12 houses of the birth chart is activated based on specific HOURS of the DAY! Want to know – HOW? Then come, join me as I take you all on quick tour of the routine day:

12th House (Activation time: 9 PM to 5 AM)

Bedtime. Bed pleasures (If you have a partner). Else plain sleep. 🙂

1st House (Activation time: 5AM to 6AM) – You are awakened (physically – not spiritually :)) )

2nd House – (Activation time: 6AM to 7AM) – You focus on your teeth – brush your teeth, tongue, gargle your throat.

3rd House – (Activation time: 7AM to 8AM) You do a small chit chat sitting on the sofa with your near dear ones. Communication happens during this time.

4th House – (Activation time: 8AM to 9AM) You focus on the self-cleansing – house cleaning. It is at this point – where you take a nice BATH!

5th House – (Activation time: 9AM to 10AM) You now study – plan – schedule your whole day. If you are a lover/in relationship – and not working – then this is the best time to have a quick chat with your lover – (boyfriend or girlfriend)

6th House – (Activation time: 10AM to 12PM) Your routine work begins – 6th house is indeed the SERVICE – the ROUTINE WORK house!

7th House – (Activation time: 12PM to 1PM)You get into MEETINGS with the OTHER – the OTHER is none other than your IMMEDIATE BOSS in the office! 7th house is the house of your BOSS.

8th House (Activation time: 2PM to 4PM)- You get entangled in the part and parcel – politics of office, intrigues, plotting, planning, gossiping – depressing thoughts come to you at this time – when 8th house is active – generally this house is active during the LATE AFTERNOON HOURS – 2 PM to 4 PM – That is why NEVER SCHEDULE ANY IMPORTANT MEETINGS DURING THIS TIME.

9th House (Activation time: 4PM to 5PM)- You now start feeling better – its post 5 PM – and now you feel optimistic – a cup of tea – chit chat – some philosophical discussions with colleagues (9th house) and you are set to go back home.

10th House (Activation time: 5PM to 6PM)- You have the final word of the day – with your BOSS, giving, sharing the updated status of your work – it MATTERS because that is what shapes your career (10th house) – and then finally you are DONE.

11th House (Activation time: 6PM to 9PM)- Time to hop on your BIKE or in your CAR and have a nice outing with your FRIENDS (11th house – networking). Or if you are in a relationship – then to mingle with your girlfriend/ boyfriend! Eating dinner, Outing, Enjoying, Networking (11th house) – and THEN……

12th HOUSE – you are BACK to the BED! The day is over until it begins AGAIN!

So the whole point is sharing the above information is that YOU SHOULD NOT MISS THE RIGHT TIMING – and the TRUTH is that except the MILITARY and certain DISCIPLENED MEN and WOMEN – the rest of the WORLD NEVER follows a disciplined lifestyle and that becomes the REASON for their many miseries of life!

DISCIPLINE is utmost for an individual to MANAGE his or her daily schedule in the most efficient way.

And in these 14 hours of ACTIVE LIFE – the most IMPORTANT TIMING that you should NOT miss is the RIGHT TIMING for taking a good BATH!

The right timing astrologically for taking a good bath is between 8 to 9 AM. You can also take bath BEFORE 8 AM. But never miss your bath timing – try to take your bath before 9 AM – without fail!

Now let me share with you all – on WHAT IS THE MOST PROPER WAY (Spiritual way) of taking a GOOD BATH.

Always take bath WITHOUT using the Shower.
Always take bath by sitting and using the bucket – the photo above is just for helping you all get an idea – it is necessary that with the help of a bowl or jug – you pour water on your head – and clean your body by sitting. Why by sitting? Because when you sit – you relax and BATH is a RELAXING PROCESS – always remember this! In our ancient AGE – especially in our country – BATH was a kind of ROYAL TREAT! But with the growing western influence – the RELAXING BATH PROCESS has become a FASTTRACK process – taking away the whole essence of this wonderful process of cleansing called BATH!
Always allocate minimum 15 minutes for BATH. Because to RELAX you need TIME and as mentioned earlier – BATH is specifically meant not just to clean your body but also to help your body RELAX.
In the ancient days – especially in our country – we used to have a nice copper or brass globular water container called LOTA in Hindi. It looked like this:

Instead of using those plastic bowls – use such kind of metal globular water container for pouring water on your body.

Now the question may arise – Why?

Now you tell me – when you do ABHISHEK on Ganesh idol or any other God’s idol – you use plastic bowl for pouring/doing the Abhishek?

No – you use exactly the kind of LOTA globular water container for pouring water on the Ganesh Idol!

So now tell me – for a lifeless silver idol – you use a nice copper water container (Lota/Kalash) – and for a LIVING BEING – for YOU – you use a plastic bowl to take bath?

Remember – BATH is ABHISHEKH. When you take BATH – you are doing your own ABHISHEK because GOD is not on the outside – GOD is WITHIN you. God dwells within every human being – every living creature!

And so to VALUE the GOD within you – to VALUE the GOODNESS within you – you have to use a nice metal globular water container for pouring water on your body – while you take bath!

During BATH – there are many small REMEDIES that can help you OVERCOME the negative energies – such as BLACK MAGIC, SPELLS, or an EVIL EYE (nazar)!

What are those remedies?

I will share two remedies – because all remedies cannot be shared on this public forum.

Remedy 1 – At the end of your bath – in the last bucket of water – use FRESH GOMUTRA (20 drops)

Remedy 2 – At the end of your bath – in the last bucket of water – use PURE ROSE WATER (20 drops)

Whole day – after bath till the very next day – your physical body goes through many VIBRATIONS – some vibrations touch your AURA by those people who come in your close contact (meeting, hand-shakes, hugs, or while traveling in crowded bus or train).

And then the other set of vibrations is that which is FORCED ON YOU – meaning NEGATIVE SPELLS (black magic, evil eye (nazar) – etc.

And so the whole day – your body goes through many levels of vibrations which ONLY CAN BE CLEANSED during the act of BATH!

That is why it is extremely necessary that you all DON’T miss your BATH and moreover you TAKE YOUR BATH before 9 AM.

But the most important point is still left.

And that is how deeply you are engrossed while taking your bath?

People – particularly shallow people give many excuses that they don’t have enough time to spend in the bathroom – in reality they don’t understand the significance of BATH – else they would have spared a good amount of time for taking a nice bath!

The ancient Vedic period had a lifestyle having bath two times a day – early morning and then in the evening. If you can take bath two times a day – then that will bring a wonderful development in your life!

Because then the ‘vibrations’ will be cleansed two times a day – provided you take a proper bath by sitting and using the bucket water and NOT the so called advanced shower system!

Every ACT that you perform is indeed a ‘KARMA’! So it is not that when you work in your office – then the work is the only WORK (KARMA) you do! Every act that you do – right from getting up in the morning till going to sleep in the night is indeed a WORK.

“Eating, bathing, going to the toilet, talking, thinking, and many other activities related to the body are all work. How is it that the performance of one particular act is alone (considered) work?”
-Ramana Maharshi

KARMA is a very deep subject. A time comes – when the only Karma you do is to MEDITATE!

That is what the Buddha was doing – that is what the Bhagavan was doing – that is what Paramhansa Yogananda was doing – when the only KARMA you execute is BREATH IN and BREATH OUT – with FOCUS on the name of the Holy Lord! That name is in the form of Mantra.

ISKCON founder Sri Prabhupada did a wonderful job – by emphasizing the significance of chanting mantra. Today HIS mission has extended to the farthest shores of the planet with people irrespective of what faith or religion they follow – are simply happy to chant the name of Krishna, a very soothing mantra – “Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare”!

The FIRST BATH is the BATH of your physical body.

The SECOND BATH is the BATH of your MIND – cleaning, purifying, dropping the MIND! And this bath is possible only through meditations – through chanting the holy mantra!

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

It is true that when chanting reaches to a certain stage – then the physical bath is no more required. But for common men like me and you – we have to perform our daily routine activities – we have to earn our bread and butter and in this process we have to interact with many OTHER men and women – we have to go through many places and people – and so the VIBRATIONS that stick to our AURA need to be cleaned – by taking a nice relaxed BATH! Because the physical body is a MEDIUM – and the MEDIUM has to be cleaned – nurtured and taken care of!

That is why we have to EXERCISE, that is why we have to CONTROL our DIET. There is a wonderful revelation on DIET and planets related to DIET which I will share separately for the larger interest of my fellow followers and readers.

Lately – many men and women are losing their jobs – then they don’t know what to do! Because whole life their mindset had been programmed to serve – to do the ‘duty’ – they forget the fact that they can do something on their own – they can start something of their own. In my new book “Beauty of Acceptance” – there is one whole chapter to finding how you can overcome a jobless situation! When you get some time – you can read my book available on Amazon.

When there is no job – people are totally shattered because they cannot think anything else than to do what they have been doing their whole life! That is how the human mind is – it is HABITUAL.

Yesterday evening – after a long time, I was watching TV and I stumbled upon a beautiful movie – and it was so beautiful, that I remained deeply engrossed. The movie was “The Terminal”.

What a splendid movie! A man gets trapped on the Airport – and he has no other option then to stay on the Airport – he is a total lost man, his country is at war, he cannot go back to his country – he has no money – and he cannot step outside the New York Airport – and then HOW HE SURVIVES? – that is the whole plot of the story and the ‘reason’ for his traveling all the way to New York is something that can make your eyes wet! Beautiful movie and what a great performance. Interestingly – it was after the movie ended that I realized that it was a Steven Spielberg movie!

‘Work’ says it all – indeed a truth that I experienced after watching this splendid movie!

Every time a ‘BATH’ is necessary – the only bath that you have known is the physical bath – but in reality every moment when you are bringing AWARENESS to your being – that is also a BATH – a significant bath!

“THE GREAT AWARENESS COMES SLOWLY, PIECE BY PIECE. THE PATH OF SPIRITUAL GROWTH IS A PATH OF LIFELONG LEARNING. THE EXPERIENCE OF SPIRITUAL POWER IS BASICALLY A JOYFUL ONE.”
-M. SCOTT PECK

Yesterday a young man came – he said “I am in trouble.”

I said “That is not new, people come to me only when they are in trouble. So tell me what is the trouble?”

The young man and his name was Shashi – said “ I don’t know what happens but every morning after 10 AM I start feeling uneasy – many temptation start coming to my mind. Sexual temptations – I don’t know why this happens…..when in reality I myself have absolutely no interest in SEX. Please help me.”

I asked him “ When do you take bath?”

He said “ I work from home – so I take bath late afternoon or sometime in the evenings or sometime I simply miss….”

I said “Then there is no wonder why you go missing life – there is no wonder why you fall for your temptations – you are not following a proper lifestyle – how can you ever experience happiness or peace of mind?”

“God is truth, and you begin in lies. Life is truth, and you begin in hypocrisy.
If you go on missing, it is no wonder.”
-OSHO

Temptations, Negative thoughts, thoughts of harming others, thoughts of taking revenge – all of these developments that happen within you are NEGATIVE DEVELOPMENTS and not positive and the SOLE REASON is you NOT following a proper LIFESTYLE.

I said to him “ You go home. And from tomorrow start taking a good bath – right before 9 AM – without fail.”

And then told him a few remedies to follow.

After 7 days Shashi calls me and says “ Addittya Bhai – Now I am feeling better – now I can concentrate on my work – now I am also getting a good night sleep. Thank you.”

Whole life is spend in ignorance – money comes in abundance – bank balance is overflowing with money – but people are not getting good night sleep!

Because IGNORANCE has absolutely NOTHING to do when it comes to MONEY.

That is how we have millions of corrupt officers and ministers and corporate executives earning stacks of money – so much so that they don’t know where to hide all of this MONEY!

So always remember – ignorance has nothing to do with earning.

But consciousness has a lot to do with the QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE!

Only a man – only a woman who can have a good night sleep – has a LIFE that has a certain QUALITY to it!

Else there are millions of people earning BIG FAT SALARIES and LARGE PROFITS but cannot have good night sleep!

At the end of the day it doesn’t matter how much money you have earned – what matters is how much QUALITY of LIFE you have earned!

And Quality of Life has nothing to do with MONEY but has a lot to do with the VALUES and ETHICS and PRINCIPLES that you follow in your life.

A few years ago – a couple said that “We became parents – but our child is such a nuisance – now we wonder why we had a child!”

When you have SEX at wrong TIMING – a WRONG or a LOW LEVEL SOUL takes birth through your womb.

There are couples – sexual partners who have sex at any given time of the day! At at any given place! In the farm, in the car – lovers have sex – there is no awareness – because when you are fired up in seeking physical pleasures – awareness is always absent!

Who seeks pleasures?

And the answer is – the MIND. (MOON)

A man or woman enslaved by the MIND (Moon) is always seeking pleasures – then the BATH (AWARENESS) is not possible!

Awareness comes only when you start moving beyond the MIND – when you enslave your mind – then AWARENESS – the first ray of Awareness starts penetrating within your being just the way the sun rays penetrate…in the darkness and enlightens the whole environment.

And once AWARENESS comes into your life – once you become aware then the real transformation begins – the transformation within!

“Life is so beautiful, especially when I’m absent from it… Don’t get me wrong, Jim Carrey was a great character and I was lucky to get the part, but I don’t think of that as me anymore… I used to be a guy who was experiencing the world and now I feel like the world and the universe experiencing a guy, so there’s kind of been a shift.”
-Jim Carrey

Life can change – but it can change only when YOU can change! A clever man is always trying to change the world – a wise man is always trying to CHANGE HIMSELF.

“Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself.”
-Rumi

The right time to have sex is in the afternoon (2pm–5pm) or in the night/midnight between 10 PM to 4 AM). But passion knows no time – and when mind is all glued to sexual pleasures where do you have the time to wait? But those who are planning kids – those who are taking efforts to become mother – should have sex only on the following days:

Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday. And never do sex on Amavasya (new moon day) and Purnima (full moon day).

But who wants to listen? The man is just in rush to take his partner to bed and the woman just can’t wait! And so then we have miseries after miseries – cases after cases – somebody’s son/daughter is born handicapped – somebody’s son or daughter has become a nuisance – a great danger to their life!

So many things are there – this HUMAN LIFE is not as simple as it appears to be! This birth chart of yours – and I say to all – is also not as simple as it appears to be! But still I say that life is simple – life is beautiful – life is the only opportunity you have got to BETTER YOURSELF.

“Don’t depend on death to liberate you from your imperfections. You are exactly the same after death as you were before. Nothing changes; you only give up the body. If you are a thief or a liar or a cheater before death, you don’t become an angel merely by dying. If such were possible, then let us all go and jump in the ocean now and become angels at once! Whatever you have made of yourself thus far, so will you be hereafter. And when you reincarnate, you will bring that same nature with you. To change, you have to make the effort. This world is the place to do it.”
~PARAMAHANSA YOGANANDA

“This world is the place to do it.” So beautiful, so deep and so true – as always!

Remember – every day when you take bath – remind yourself of the following affirmation – the cleansing mantra:

The only person who can help you CHANGE is – YOU. Because unless you allow change to happen within you – how can someone change you? Unless you let the master ‘CUT’ all that is doing NO GOOD to your GROWTH – how can the master help you to change, to transform, how can you REBORN?

Jesus says to Nicodemus “You have to Reborn”

This ‘reborn’ is the transformation within. Birthday is the day when you are born physically – reborn day is the day when you slip out of the MIND – that is the day when your journey begins in the true sense!

Next month on the 15th – comes my birthday. There are so many things to share – the road is long and I am getting old. But as long as this journey of sharing continues – I will be with you all – Love to you all. Meditate every day – and remember – YOU are NOT Alone.

GOD is always with those who follow their heart. I love all those who are men of heart – they are the beautiful beings – they can change – they can transform – they can truly understand the significance of physical bath (body) and spiritual bath (soul) – they are the ones that God is always seeking – they are the ones that the master always seek and so if you are one of them then you don’t have to go in search of the master – the master will come in search of You!

“You need not go in search of HIM. HE will come in search of you.”
-Osho

Once Ananda asked Buddha “What is it that drives you to a certain man, a certain woman, a certain place….?”

And Buddha said “ Love. When I see that someone is thirsty for my Love, when somebody is waiting for me – when somebody is praying day and night with devotion in their hearts – my legs start moving towards them, Ananda and it happens spontaneously – I have never planned my journeys – in fact I have never planned anything ever in my life.”

Life should be like this – devoted, faithful and flowing like a river! The river has no plans – the river simply flows…..and yet it always reaches to the right destination!

Be like a river – continue to flow, continue to express, continue to sing your song – don’t worry who will say what – those who will resonate with your song – will join you – this is how ‘journeys’ grow – this is how ‘life’ blossoms into a beautiful flower!

Be a part of this blossoming journey – come, close your eyes and start meditating every day – let the light of awareness flow within you – happiness comes only when you start becoming aware – conscious.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Rohini: Good or Bad?

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Power is not what Rohini likes. Rohini belongs to Moon. She is soft. She is sexy. She is lovable. And where there is love, power is not required! Absolutely not required!

“You need power only to do something harmful. Otherwise love is enough, compassion is enough.”
-OSHO

Rohini dwells in the sign of Taurus. A beautiful sign – I love Taurus – they are a song, a dance, a music! Rohini brings abundance of physical pleasures and comforts to the native who is born on Rohini Nakshatra. Generally these men and women are found to be beautiful and there is a certain aura of joyousness around them. Taurus is a sign that is TOTAL MATERIAL by nature. And because it an EARTHY SIGN – it has a very STRONG SENSE OF SMELL, TOUCH & FEELINGS.

On the darker side – Taurus is very passionate by nature and also high in sexuality. These are the creatures who simply like to EAT. PRAY. LOVE. They take great interest in the Art of Love making!

Yesterday someone asked a question “How LIBRA is DIFFERENT than TAURUS – because both belong to VENUS?”

TAURUS (ROHINI, KRITTIKA) are more interested in physical sex. To them LOVE is incomplete without the art of making love or having sex.

LIBRA (SWATI, VISHAKA) are more interested in the platonic love – they too want to have sex but more than sex they would want to first RELATE more and more with the lover – they find more pleasure when they can RELATE with the LOVER. LIBRA rules the 7th house – and 7th house is more about RELATING.

“You can love a person because the person satisfies your sex. This is not love, just a bargain. You can make sex with a person because you love; then sex follows just like a shadow, part of love. Then it is beautiful; then it is no longer of the animal world. Then something of the beyond has already entered, and if you go on loving a person deeply, by and by sex disappears. Intimacy becomes so fulfilling, then there is no need for sex; love is enough unto itself.”
-Osho

TAURUS ROHINI is too emotional by nature. And a person who is too emotional has absolute NO POWER but is rather weak and submissive by nature!

If you are looking for real power that moves the ‘pawn’ by operating from ‘behind the curtains’ – then that power is with ANURADHA – the NAKSHATRA that is placed exactly opposite to ROHINI! ANURADHA is ruled by SATURN. And power is always with SATURN – the EXECUTIVE POWER, the AUTHORITY always remains with SATURN and not the soft, submissive, emotional MOON!

And MOON is the one who rules over ROHINI. In fact it is said that among all the 27 NAKSHATRA (Wives of Moon) – ROHINI is the favorite wife of MOON!

And therefore MOON exalts in ROHINI! Ofcourse when you are with your most favorite lover – be it wife or girlfriend – you are going to be in a state of ‘high’ – and that is how MOON is also ‘HIGH’ when placed in ROHINI!

You see ROHINI is ruled by MOON. SHRAVAN is ruled by MOON. HASTA is ruled by MOON. But MOON liked ROHINI a lot than his other two wives – SHRAVAN and HASTA!

WHY?

Come-on – who would not like a ROMANTIC SEXY WIFE? ROHINI is just like that!

SHRAVAN brings a lot of practicality – here the ‘wife’ (nakshatra) is soft and sweet and also has a certain glamour of power and authority BUT because it is placed in the sign of Capricorn – here the ‘wife’ Shravana is practical by nature. Moon says “Lets go and have a PARTY” and Shravana (the practical sweet wife) says “ Who is going to pay the bill?” So you see – Moon is turned off – then he thinks “How beautiful it would have been – if Rohini would have been here!”

HASTA – again is a wife who does a lot on analysis. Moon says “ I have liked this color shade for our office walls. Lets go for it.” Hasta says “ WAIT. I am going to watch Youtube videos on which color is best for our RASHI and then I am going to read a few more books too and then when I am 100% sure about a certain shade – only then will I give you a go ahead.”

Poor Moon again remembers his favorite wife “ROHINI” and says to himself “How sweet it would have been – had Rohini been in place of HASTA!”

So you see – MOON LOVES ROHINI because ROHINI is all about HEART and PLEASURES OF LIFE. SEX is one BIG part of the pleasures that MOON (MIND) seeks and ROHINI has all the qualities and strength to provide abundance of sexual pleasures to her or his partner.

Understand the fact that TAURUS ROHINI and LIBRA SWATI – both are SEEKERS OF LOVE & SEX. But in case of TAURUS – the weightage towards real time sex is a little more than LIBRA. LIBRA wants some spice in form of ‘intellectualism’ – ‘sex-talk’ etc. For Taurus – all that is not required – it is a BULL – if it goes hard, if it truly loves you – it simply wants to do it. “JUST DO IT” is the perfect slogan for TAURUS ROHINI & KRITTIKA!

Physical pleasures are in abundance – physical attractiveness is in abundance – physical strength is in abundance – all of these qualities makes ROHINI & KRITIKKA – TAURUS SIGN – not exactly powerful but a beautiful lovable sign.

Remember ROHINI NAKSHATRA is the NAKSHTRA of Lord KRISHNA!

And history is witness to the fact that ROMANCE, LOVE & KRISHNA is very closely related! The whole world remembers the beautiful bonding of Radha & Krishna! Krishna marries Rukmini but the world remembers KRISHNA & RADHA!

Radhe Krishna!

ROHINI is a star that does not have direct authority and power like that of Anuradha or Pushya – BUT – Rohini has great MANIPULATIVE skills through which it exercises its power – indirectly! Lord Krishna during the Mahabharata – actually had to manipulate certain men – of-course in the larger interest of DHARMA and safeguarding RIGHTEOUSNESS!

ROHINI and the strength it derives is totally based on where exactly the MOON is placed in your chart! If the MOON is placed in 5th, 7th, 9th, 11th – with beneficial aspects – then such a woman is a beauty – a song, a dance!

Life truly has to be like a ROHINI – a dance, a song, a beautiful painting!

“We have to make Laughter, Rejoicing, Dancing, Singing, part of a Healthy Being just overflowing Well-Being.”
-Osho

You have asked about POWER – but let me tell you and to all my followers and readers – there is absolutely nothing as powerful as LOVE!

And Rohini is all about LOVE.

“Love is the strongest medicine. It is more powerful than electricity.”
-Neem Karoli Baba

This world needs ROHINI – to add more love, more warmth and more beauty. We all are born to make a difference. No matter how small is the difference – as long as it is serving the purpose – purpose to make this planet more beautiful, more ALIVE – it is Enough!

Enough for today.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Best Astrology Software to Use

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

There are many good Astrology Software and it all depends on what exactly you want as an Astrologer and mainly what is your budget?

For the larger interest of my followers and readers – I will quickly list very few Vedic Astrology software and KP Astrology Software that are my favorites:

ASTRO SAGE – This is the ‘Maruti Suzuki’ of Indian Astrology Software industry. Most popular app in today’s market. In India there was one beautiful Advertisement of Maruti Suzuki – and it starts with an expert from NASA giving a detailed information about a spacecraft- and the expert gives all high level detailed information and the many sophisticated features of the spacecraft and then when he is done – he asks “ Any question? “ and then steps up a typical Indian and asks only one question- KITNA DETI HAI? meaning How much mileage does she give? Indian mindset is obsessed to get as much as they can in little amount. Astro Sage perfectly suits to the expectations. With a very easy to use user friendly features and affordable pricing which also includes a monthly subscription of 2000 INR – it is an good option for those who don’t want to invest a lumpsum amount.
SHRI JYOTI STAR – This is the most beautiful Vedic Astrology Software that – it is huge, it is extensive and very accurate in calculations with almost all that you can expect or imagine as far as Vedic Astrology is concerned. With a good after sales support – this one is indeed a gem and as you know – gems are always costly and so this software comes at a cost of US $ 318 ( Approximately INR 25,000) but it is worth it.
KALA VEDIC ASTROLOGY SOFTWARE- This is a Astrology Software with the unique findings of Ernst Wilhelm wherein along with all the regular Astrology features – he also provides his unique chart creation wherein the birth chart shows Tropical Rashi while the Vishomtarri Mahadasha is based on Sidereal Nakshatra. So if you are interested to have something unique along with the regular plethora of Astrology features then this is a good option. The last price that I had seen for this Software was US $ 244 ( Approximately INR 18000) but this one too is worth trying. I always like people with a modern perspective or rather a more researched perspective and I am personally of the opinion that Ernst Wilhelm has done wonderful painstaking research of Indian Vedic Scriptures and has provided the world with something unique through his Kala Vedic Astrology Software.

KP ASTROLOGY SOFTWARE

Although there are a few KP Astrology software available in the market – still the most comprehensive and highly advanced KP Software available as on date is LOKPA (Light of KP Astrology) Software. It comes at a price of INR 25300/- ( US $ 433).

These are the top notch software for Astrology that I like. Although this certainly doesn’t imply that other Astrology software are not good. It all depends on your budget, your practice, your count of clients and above all your likes and perspectives!

I personally like unique well reasearched modern sophisticated user friendly interface with a ‘classy’ look and feel. I always settle for the best even though it may be expensive because we live once so why not live to the fullest- why compromise on quality? Why use a Samsung when you can buy an iPhone?

It is all based on individual choice. Finally never forgot the fact that there is absolutely NO SOFTWARE IN THIS WORLD that is as great as the software you have within you – and that is your brain! And your CONSCIOUSNESS!

So it is good to have good tools/software but tools or software are just the mediums and not the doer. You are also a medium and not the doer. The doer is the almighty God and when you live your whole life with this understanding- with this belief- tell me – can anything ever go wrong?

When we surrender to God – God makes us HIS Software and then the miracle starts happening then the dance then the joy then the love! The key is living in Surrender.

I pray to the Goddess Lakshmi that may you all be blessed with more and more Awareness and Peace, Prosperity in your life. Jai Mata Jagdamba.

Scorpio Sign: Good or Bad?

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Everything is situational. A knife can be a great savior if it can shield you from your enemies and the same knife can also become a great danger if it hurts you and you start bleeding!

You should never judge by appearance but you should rather OBSERVE on how a specific person or thing works and in what CONTEXT – it works.

Scorpio Ascendant is just like that! It is like a Knife – it is like that snake – it is like that rope which you can either use to strangle someone to death or to pull up someone from falling.

You tell me and I appeal to all my followers and readers – what is the basic nature of a SCORPIO?

Reminds me of a story. There was a great master – a Yogi and he was walking through the dense forest – briskly and there were a few followers with him. The master suddenly stopped. The followers also stopped walking. The master looked at the ground – on a small stone there was a Scorpio and he was in trouble. The compassionate master caught hold of the Scorpio and after a while left the Scorpio at a better place.

The scorpio crawled happily. But the followers were not happy with the Scorpio because the master’s hand was now bleeding…

The followers said “ This is not right – the Scorpio has been stinging on your hand all this time until you placed him back on the ground.”

The compassionate benevolent master smiled and said “ The nature of Scorpio is to STING – and my nature is to HELP. He played his role. I played my role. So there is nothing wrong with the Scorpio- Stinging is his Nature – it is a natural tendency of the Scorpio- you cannot paint him as wrong or bad. In the Kingdome of God – everything is Right because everyone and everything is HIS creation. “

In this vast human world there are people who are like THORNS – they are negative and so to handle and manage such people – you need a better Thorn which comes in the form of Scorpio!

The nature of Scorpio is to Sting – but this nature is useful and can be put to good use when it comes to dealing with ALL THOSE DARK NEGATIVE SECERETIVE ENERGIES ( PEOPLE).

And so Scorpio Ascendant natives do Exceptionally well in POLITICS, INVESTIGATIONS, SPYING business.

Now always remember every coin has two sides. Similarly every Scorpio has two sides – positive and negative. The “ thorn” or the “ knife” can be used for the larger interest of the society or to cause harm to the society!

And so a positive Scorpio Ascendant can make you a good politician while a negative can make you a corrupt politician.

Similarly one has to understand that MAGIC is neutral in nature – it depends on what purpose the MAGIC is used? The energy is always neutral- always. It depends on the person who puts the energy to use. If he is positive- he will use the energy to HEAL someone or to HELP someone to get married or to get a job or to come out of a mess. When a positive person uses the ENERGY for positive purpose- it is called WHITE MAGIC.

But when the same ENERGY is used by a NEGATIVE person to BLOCK someone’s MARRIAGE, to BLOCK someone from getting a JOB, to BREAK relationships, to BREAK someone’s MORALE, to compel someone to commit SUICIDE- then such a thing is called BLACK MAGIC.

So Scorpio Ascendant just like any other Ascendant has two sides to it – Positive and Negative.

However the reason SCORPIO ASCENDANT is considered more vulnerable and sensitive is because it is directly connected with the 8th house of the natal horoscope. 8th house is like a powerhouse – high voltage house. And so Scorpio Ascendant men and women have the potential to either RISE TO GREAT HEIGHTS OR TO FALL MISERABLY. There is NO MIDDLE GROUND. Mediocrity is a word that doesn’t exist in the dictionary of Scorpio Ascendant. Whatever they do – they do it totally. They are the ones who live their life by being TOTAL.

“ Totality is possible. Perfection is impossible.” – Osho

The Scorpion Ascendant man or women is highly unpredictable. Because they live their life by following their basic instinct! And because they are highly secretive characters- nobody know what they can do at the very next moment! That makes them more interesting characters because they always keep others intrigued. ‘Saturday Suspence’ is how their life is – there is always some kind of suspense in their life. The recent Sushant Singh case is a good example of Scorpio Ascendant.

Suspicious is another word that natives of Scorpio Ascendant like a lot. Either they are always suspicious about others or other are always suspicious of them but suspicious, suspense, tragedies, shocks or shocking behaviors and highly secretive behavior- all of these 8th house characteristics engulf the whole nature of Scorpio Ascendant individuals.

Nature ( Svabhav) is seen from Ascendant and Ascendant lord.

One more good example of Scorpio Ascendant is the Maratha Strong Man – the star politician of Maharashtra state – Sharad Pawar.

Always remember – Every Zodiac Sign when comes or become the Ascendant sign then it brings along the exact nature of the house it rules in the Kaal Purush Kundali or the natural Kundali.

Now for the larger interest of my followers let us see what each sign brings to the table when it becomes the Ascendant Sign:

SCORPIO ASCENDANT- BRINGS THE NATURE OF 8TH HOUSE

SAGITTARIUS ASCENDANT- BRINGS THE NATURE OF 9TH HOUSE

CAPRICORN ASCENDANT- BRINGS THE NATURE OF 10TH HOUSE

AQUARIUS ASCENDANT- BRINGS THE NATURE OF 11TH HOUSE

PISCES ASCENDANT- BRINGS THE NATURE OF 12TH HOUSE

ARIES ASCENDANT- BRINGS THE NATURE OF 1ST HOUSE

TAURUS ASCENDANT- BRINGS THE NATURE OF 2ND HOUSE

GEMINI ASCENDANT- BRINGS THE NATURE OF 3RD HOUSE

CANCER ASCENDANT- BRINGS THE NATURE OF 4TH HOUSE

LEO ASCENDANT- BRINGS THE NATURE OF 5TH HOUSE

VIRGO ASCENDANT- BRINGS THE NATURE OF 6TH HOUSE

LIBRA ASCENDANT- BRINGS THE NATURE OF 7TH HOUSE.

And so there are many more further connections but for now you all should understand that Astrology is NOT so shallow that by just thr Ascendant Sign you can conclude that the person is Good or Bad!

Always remember Astrology is highly interconnected – it is all LinkedIn!

8th Scorpio Ascendant, 12th Pisces Ascendant and 4th Cancer Ascendant- all these 3 signs are mentioned by the seers as the signs of Moksha – ultimate liberation!

And all these 3 Zodiac Ascendant Signs are related to Water! Water is related to emotions. And emotions is what leads you to the path of spirituality- only when the EMOTIONS are PURIFIED!

You see – everything is connected – the reason people don’t feel the connection is because the SWITCH IS NOT YET SWITCHED ON!

And that is the whole essence of this human life – to switch on the plug so that you start realizing the fact that the whole world is ONE – ONENESS!

The enlightened beings of the West calls is ONENESS, the enlightened beings of the East calls it NONDUALISM (ADVAIT)!

Enough for now.

To all my readers- Nowadays I rarely answer on Quora QA forum since I like to contribute more to my Quora Space where all my good followers follow me – it is like a Sat Sangh – a beautiful vibrant Space where my close followers love to be.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Preventing Negative Thoughts Through Astrology

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

THOUGHTS SHAPE YOUR LIFE. ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS. THE QUALITY OF LIFE IS BASED ON THE QUALITY OF YOUR THOUGHTS. And so whenever any negative lustful thoughts come to your mind – remember to WATCH YOUR THOUGHTS – because that one wrong thought can lead you to many wrongs – eventually leading you to nowhere!

The whole journey of this human life is to FINE TUNE the THOUGHTS that you have been carrying along all your births and rebirths! Many times – I meet people who are taking efforts to raise the QUALITY OF THEIR THOUGHTS and many times I come across UTTERLY RUBBISH NEGATIVE USELESS men and women who only spend their whole life in HURTING OTHERS by their CHEAP THOUGHTS And CHEAP COMMENTS. Can’t Help – such men and women eventually end up in a NOWHERE world – they suffer a lot – and they go through many miseries. Many times people ask me “But such filthy men and women in spite of their LOW GRADE THOUGHTS – are doing well – they are having good bank balance – they are having all good luxuries – when will they start facing miseries in their life?”

You should always remember – that just like you – GOD is also waiting for these people to comes to their senses – GOD also wants them to PAY FOR WHAT THEY DID TO OTHERS – but do you remember the incident when LORD KRISHNA waited and waited and waited UNTIL SHISHU PAL abused him for 100 times – do you remember that incident – have you ever read about that incident – I urge all my dear followers who love me – who have been following me consistently – to please read about this incident – and you will find your answer! Until SHISHU PAL’s quota of SIN is not FULL (100 SINS) – Lord Krishna simply waits and waits and waits and SHISHU PAL goes on ABUSING KRISHNA – goes on COMMENTING ABUSIVELY – and Krishna waits! But the moment SHISHU PAL’s quote of SIN is FULL – Lord Krishna takes him to TASK!

That is how the benevolent master is – that is how Lord Saturn – that is why I LOVE SATURN – because SATURN also waits and waits and waits and when the TIME is right – HE STRIKES and HE STRIKES SO BADLY that the man or woman who have been abusing you – commenting badly on you – becomes handicapped – becomes miserable – falls in utter desperation!

And so those negative men and women who have been causing harm to you – by doing black magic – by commenting negatively – by trying to defame you – THOSE ALL BUNCH OF FELLOWS will definitely FACE the WRATH of SATURN – the WRATH of KRISHNA – the WRATH of GOD – but only when their TIME WILL CHANGE FOR BAD.

And who can know better about time and timing than an Astrologer! That is why Astrologer during the old days were not common beings – they were highly spiritual seers – who spend only 2 hours in doing consultation while the rest of their time was spend in meditations – in deep penance!

There was a young man – he must be like me. He was young and he was being troubled by a few women and men – and one day unable to bear the difficulties and pain and sufferings of life – he went to the master and the master was in his own bliss, his own peace – the master said “ What happened?”

The young man said “ When will these men and women will pay for what they have done to me?”

The master said “ You are an idiot. Why you think so much about your enemies? Why don’t you focus on your FRIEND. I am your Friend. Look at me – don’t you see a friend in me?”

The young man started crying – he touched the feet of the master and said “ Master I am touched – I am so sorry – I have got your message – it is always better to focus on our true friends than our enemies. But….”

“Still you have a ‘But’ ! “ said the benevolent master.

Then looking at the young man the master smiled and said “ Mohan – I know there is a woman and a man who is trying to kill you – who is trying to play all sorts of dirty games and spells on you – but remember my word – a TIME will come when they both will have to PAY for their deeds – you just wait – you just be patient – and now you just have this cup of hot tea.”

Mohan smiled – the word of the master brought a sudden relief to his being. He joined the master – and the master spontaneously asked “ MOHAN – ARE YOU HERE?”

And the call was so spontaneous that Mohan quickly responded “ Yes Master – I AM HERE.”

And that this whole message my fellows – that is the whole message – to BE HERE NOW!

When you are HERE & NOW – the ‘miracle’ has happened. To BE HERE NOW – to be in the moment is the real miracle! You just have to BE HERE NOW – ‘isness’ is the only word that you have to implement in your life.

“This isness is the master key to open all the doors of the mysterious existence that surrounds you. Once you have the key, you are the master of your own being. There is nobody above you, there is nobody below you. For the first time you experience a tremendous communion with the whole existence. I call this the only authentic spirituality, the only authentic religiousness.” -Osho

When the master call out – “MOHAN ARE YOU HERE?”

It was to bring MOHAN in the HERE & NOW moment! And the call is so spontaneous that MOHAN also responds spontaneously – “Yes Master – I AM HERE ”!

When you have no job – you are thinking of FUTURE – “When will I have job” – and so you simply go on missing the LIFE which is flowing NOW! Always remember LIFE is flowing NOW – Life is not in the past and not in the future – life is NOW and if you miss NOW then you go on missing life!

And what happens when you get a job – you start thinking now when will I get a promotion – no when will I buy a new home – or a new car – or a new bike – you see the MIND is constantly in the PAST or the FUTURE – the meeting between the MIND and the FUTURE never happens – and when it happens – MEDITATION happens!

You see – Meditation happens only when you are able to bring your MIND in the NOW moment – when you get hold of your monkey mind and compel it to focus on your breathing – on this NOW moment – only then meditation happens – only then your real journey within begins!

A man is worried because he is living in poverty. But the same man starts worrying when he becomes rich – because now the whole cupboard is full of CASH – now how to protect it – where to invest – what more to expand – you see the MIND is always worrying because the nature of the MIND is to worry!

A woman was not getting a marriage proposal – she thought after getting married she will find happiness – but that is never the story! Because even if you get married still you will not be happy – still you will continue to crave – continue to complain because HAPPINESS is NOT Something that is based on WHAT YOU HAVE ON THE OUTSIDE – happiness is simply based on what you have WITHIN!

“Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside.”
-Ramana Maharshi

There are men and there are women – who are craving for SEX – they think that after having SEX – they can find happiness. The reality is that there are million and millions out there who have had a lot of sexual pleasures and still if you ask them “Are you happy?” – they answer “Not yet”!

But people have their own ideas and fancies and ideally they should not be stopped because until they experience themselves – they cannot realize the TRUTH!

And that is why this HUMAN LIFE is! To let you experience all that you had wished for – and after going through those experiences if you WAKE UP than that is your GOOD FATE – else the ‘Chakki Pissing’ – the unending cycle of birth and rebirth continues!

People are always crying and whining. And it has absolutely NOTHING do with their SITUATION – remember this. Because irrespective whether they are living in a hut or in a palace – the continue to cry – they continue to live in misery – in ignorance!

There was a man – he must be like me. He lost everything – everything was taken away from him – and yet he was always found in his own bliss – in his own peace. He wandered around the narrow lanes of his village – and people would simply ignore him – they would condemn him – they had started believing that this man is inauspicious for us! You see – this is how this FAKE society is – a successful man has many FATHERS while an unsuccessful man has NONE!

And so the villagers treated him very badly – the man took to alcohol. It happens – many times people succumb to the pressure of the society and they take shelter in that bottle of wine! And so this man also found his new home in that bottle of alcohol. He became a drunkard – he was such a nice man – but now he was dragged into alcoholism! Time went by and soon he became a drunkard – the villager who forced him into alcoholism – now started abusing him for his too much drinking! This is how people are – very very fake – first they will HARM you and then when you start bleeding – they will desert you.

Our man – the young man was also deserted by the villagers and yet he was in his own world – drinking, and dancing and singing and one day – the sky thundered – storm came and the whole village was flooded with water – and the rains continued for 5 consecutive days – heavy rainfall – and children and women started dying – the cattle – the farmland – the crops – everything was devastated – the villagers gathered for prayers – but their prayers were not answered by God – instead much more flooding and more heavy rains started falling – the crying of the children – the moaning of the women – the young man couldn’t bear – looking up in the sky – he said to God “ GOD – if you STOP the RAINS – I will STOP drinking alcohol. That is my promise.”

God smiled. And that moment – that very moment the RAINS STOPPED. The whole village was SAVED – the villagers felt relieved – they thanked the young man – they realized that their prayers were not heard – but the prayers of the young man was heard and was answered by GOD – they all said “You live with us – we will take care of you – we will help you rebuild your life….”

The young man’s eyes were filled with tears – looking at those ignorant villagers – he said “ Now I cannot wait here – now the call has come – now my real journey has began – if with just one word – one promise – God has answered my prayers then imagine how much can he DO for me – how much he can do through ME – and so not only I am leaving drinking but I am also leaving this village forever – I am now set on the greatest journey of my life – the journey within – the journey WITH God!”

And the young man left the village – the villagers never came to know where he went – but they always remembered him as the MAN who saved their village.

Life changes – change is constant – except change everything else changes – always remember this.

NOTHING LASTS FOREVER – neither the good time nor the bad times. Even the stars that are thought to be FIXED STARS – even they move – what to say about you or me!

And so if you are in misery and those who have caused you harm are enjoying their life then you don’t have to think much – because change is constant – those who you think are happy – have you ever gone to their bedroom to see if they are really happy? There are men and women who ‘appear’ as happy but in their bedrooms – when there is nobody around them – they cry – they feel restless – they feel totally lost – in deep miseries – suffocated – blocked!

So don’t go on appearances – appearances can misled you – shallow men and women fall for appearances – the wise – the meditative is always focused on what is WITHIN! And only a man who knows himself – who has realized his own self – can ‘SEE’ what is within others – he can quickly see the real YOU – you cannot take him for a ride – you cannot trap him – you cannot fool him.

People fall for FAKE baba or FAKE men and women – because they themselves have never WATCHED their thoughts – they themselves have not being REAL.

TRUTH is HARD – it hurts and I am not here to entertain – I am here only for those few who can listen to the TRUTH – the rest can excuse.

And so unless you become REAL – you cannot find the REAL.

99% people never want to know the REAL – they appear as if they want to know the TRUTH but the reality is that they CANNOT face the TRUTH!

To face the TRUTH – you have to be truthful to yourself – a man who is truthful to himself never fears anybody.

But my experience has shown me that people cannot digest the TRUTH. TRUTH can appear RUDE – because your monkey mind is not willing to FACE the TRUTH – as *it is*!

“I am not rude, but truth has to be said even it is appears to be rude.” – Osho

But the majority is filled with shallow people – they come to seek the truth – but they don’t have the capacity – the heart to absorb the truth – and so I only share the truth when I see that the person can digest the truth.

People want those ‘goody goody – soft entertaining’ masters – who can make them feel good! And that is how people don’t change because the ‘old thoughts and illusions’ – can not help you change – you will remain where you are – you will change – you will transform – you will rise only when you meet the real master.

“Only the pseudo Master gives you solace; the real Master gives you fire. Only the pseudo Master pretends to give you something – knowledge, wisdom, enlightenment. The real Master knows that nothing can be given to you because in the first place all that you need is already there. It is hidden behind a great heap of rubbish; the rubbish has to be taken away. But you have cherished that rubbish very long, you have saved it like a treasure, so when it is being taken away it hurts, it leaves wounds. One wants to escape from a real Master. A thousand and one times one wants to escape from a real Master. A thousand and one times one is frustrated with the real Master, because basically he never fulfills your desires.” – Osho

A real master simply helps you to UNLEARN all that you have learned your whole life!

“It’s not a question of learning much.On the contrary it’s a question of UNLEARNING much.” – Osho

Jesus also asks Nicodemus, the great scholar to first unlearn – drop all his learning and scholarships and his notions – because unless there is SPACE within you – how the REAL penetrate within your being?

But not everybody can understand this not everybody is a Nicodemus, not everybody is Ananda, not everybody is Arjuna!

Once it happened – there was a young man – his name was Rahim. And Rahim became a great saint – a saint of many miracles – one of the greatest Sufi saint that the world had ever known! And when Sufi Saint Rahim was on his deathbed – a close disciple asked “ Master – you have never told us about your Master – your Guru – now that you are dying – now that we will never be able to see you again – and we will never meet someone of your caliber – would you like to share about your master?”

Rahim’s eyes became wet. His eyes were filled with tears – he said “ I met my master after a very long journey – but the master didn’t look at me. There were few people around him – they must be his disciples – I touched his feet but the master ignored me. But I was not willing to go away so soon. I started serving in my own way. I would sweep the floors, clean the walls – also I started cooking in the small kitchen that the monastery had. Days passed and weeks passed by – but the master never looked at me – many would come to seek his blessings and he would talk with all of them but he never talked with me – not even a single word. But I continued – I continued with my love and my devotion towards him – and then one day – one day while I was sweeping the floor – he looked at me – just one look of HIS and my whole being moved – as if there was some celebration happening in my whole being – that one look of his – was enough for me to carry on for the next many months. And after 10 months – again on a beautiful evening – he looked at me and smiled – that smile was so blissful – there was a certain signal for me – but I couldn’t understand – I was naïve. I continued to serve – and again it happened – after 9 months – it happened – the moment came and it came in the most unexpected way – I was sleeping beneath a tree – and the master came – yes – HE came towards me – called me by my name – he said “Rahim – Beta Rahim wake up – it is TIME.” – I woke up and before me the master was standing – I felt as if it was a dream – but then I realized that the master was truly standing before me – I got up – the master touched on my forehead – just a soft touch and said “ Rahim – you have now become a full moon – it is time for you to leave – go ahead and spread the message – message of love. My blessing is with you. I am with you.”

Rahim’s eyes were filled with tears – speechless – he touched the feet of the master with his heart filled with gratitude – the master raised him up and gave him a hug and said “ You have left no word for me to express – you have been truly a gem – a rarest of rare gem. I bless you.”

The disciples of Rahim were moved – they said “ After that what happened?”

Rahim who was now on deathbed said “After that last meeting – I set out on my journey – I travelled to many places – I never met my master – but there was not a single breath of mine in which his name – his remembrance was not present – even now as I share with you the story of my life – HIS name remains in my heart – my breath – – my blood – my veins…..”

Such masters are rare and such disciples are rare! Only three times the master had looked at Rahim – only three times! The first time – HE just looked at Rahim – the second time – HE smiled at Rahim and the last time – HE just touched on Rahim’s forehead! Nothing much is required – no intellectualism and no questions and no frills and fancies – only ONE thing is required and that is a BEAUTIFUL FAITHFUL HEART that is willing to be patient – that has a certain depth of understanding!

Understanding is not taught in any colleges or universities – it comes through your own efforts – your own willingness to jump within and discover your true self.

At the very center of your being – at the very root of your existence is YOUR THOUGHT.

The QUALITY OF YOUR LIFE is totally based on the QUALITY OF YOUR THOUGHT.

The reading of the holy scriptures of your faith, the reading of the Shloka and Stotra and Sutras – the meditations – the chanting – the pooja – the affirmations – ALL OF THESE – is simply to help you raise the quality of your THOUGHT! Because it is only when the quality of your though is good – that you will look good – you will be good and you will also do GOOD! The more you focus on reciting the scriptures of God – chanting the name of God – the more you introduce GOD in your life – the more you can upgrade the quality of your THOUGHTS!

“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.” -OSHO

To become special – all you need is to bring GOD in your life – focus on GOD and focus on HIS name – because that is how you can control your thoughts – channelize your thoughts to the proper channel – and once you are set on the ‘path’ – the thoughts start upgrading to superior quality – you become more understanding, more peaceful and more joyous – moreover you start living your life with total ACCEPTANCE and in a LET GO!

People are running all over this world – millions of remedies and thousands of rupees are spend on many stones and magics and what not – but not a single minute is spend to LOOK WITHIN. Not a single minute is spend in OBSERVING YOUR THOUGHT – these kind of people think that by doing some remedy they will get what they seek – and even if they get it – what is the use? If the THOUGHT quality is poor then no matter whether you get a Mercedes or you get 12 bungalows – how is that going to help you to GROW in the true sense?

But the irony is that people don’t even know what is real growth! They think growth is only limited to what mobile brand you use and what car brand you drive and how much of bank balance you have!

Real Growth is the GROWTH WITHIN. How much as an individual you have matured – you have become wise is what real growth is all about – real growth has NOTHING to do with your outer brands and luxuries – real growth has to do with what you are from WITHIN!

And so THOUGHT is very important – in fact the quality of THOUGHT is what goes on shaping your DESTINY! THOUGHT is what decides the quality of your DESTINY!

“Watch your thoughts; they become your words.
Watch your words, they become your actions.
Watch your actions, they become your habits.
Watch your character, it becomes your destiny.”
-Lao Tzu

Watch your thoughts. Your thoughts come from your mind. Your mind is a traffic of thoughts. Millions of thoughts and more thoughts. Unless you purify the mind – unless you take the control of your mind – there is absolutely NO CHANCE of you progressing in the true sense – if you really want to upgrade the quality of your life – then there s NO SUBSCRIPTION fee – but only one effort that you have to take every day – and that is ‘Meditating every day.’!

Meditate – and even though there are many negative NEECH horrible people around you – still remember the fact that even BUDDHA had to go through these kind of DIRTY people – they all tried to cause much trouble much harm to HIM – but he remained silent. Truth is always silent. Jesus was also asked by the Roman Prefect before he was crucified. The Roman Prefect asked Jesus “What is the TRUTH? Tell me?”

Jesus remain silent. It was a Buddhist silence. Truth can be shared only with that person who has the ability to understand!

Jesus remained silent. Buddha remained silent. Silence is the language of the master! The master is the silence between your two words!

And so come – come you all. Close your eyes and meditate. Focus on your breathing – be in a LET GO – be totally relaxed – and always remember when you meditate – you are NOT alone – God is with you – Master is with you – all you need to do is to let there be a Let Go – a total surrender!

“Man has nothing else to do but surrender-in deep trust, in deep love. Don’t be a doer, just surrender.
Let there be a let-go.”
– Osho

It is a long journey – maybe many more births and rebirths – but that is not the question – the real question is whether you are set on the right path – the path of devotion and love, the path of living your life in total surrender!

Astrological Guide to Buying Laptop

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

Every BRAND reflects a certain Number. This Number signify a certain planet (nature of energy) in Astrology.

Yesterday Mohan came. He said “ I am caught up in confusion….”

I asked “What is the confusion?”

Mohan is a tech savvy person, highly educated with a computer degree from a reputed university. But he said “I want to buy a Laptop – but I am really confused on which one to buy. I have seen hundred of laptop review videos on YouTube but still the question remains – which one to buy?”

I said “Buy any laptop that has the configuration that suits your requirement….”

Mohan said “Almost every Brand has models having similar kind of configuration. And so it is not about configuration; it is more about the BRAND – which Laptop Brand is lucky for me? I have been using DELL laptops all these years but now I want to switch to some other brand, but which brand is suitable for me – astrologically?”

And this is a deep question. In fact, it connects to many levels of astrology but always remember – no matter how BIG a BRAND is – you have to first see if it suits you – astrologically!

Now let us discuss the top laptop BRANDS that currently we have in Indian markets:

DELL
HP
ACER
LENOVO
ASUS

Mohan always had severe problems in life because of his RAHU placement in the 4th house. So any brand that signify RAHU – is not suitable for Mohan.

Similarly to all my close followers and readers – I insist that first check RAHU’s placement in your chart. Whenever RAHU is in:

First house
Fourth house
Fifth house
Eighth house
Twelfth house

…..you should NEVER buy a BRAND that signify RAHU in Astrology.

However whenever RAHU is in:

Second house
Third house
Sixth house
Seventh house
Ninth house
Tenth house

…..you can buy a BRAND that signify RAHU in Astrology.

Who should buy HP & ASUS?

So now let us see which top LAPTOP Brands signify RAHU in Astrology:

HP – RAHU
ASUS – RAHU

So only those individuals who has a good placement of RAHU in their birth charts should buy HP Laptops & ASUS Laptops.

Individuals who have problems from RAHU in their birth chart should NEVER buy the above two brands.

Who should buy DELL & LENOVO?

Those individuals who have good placement of VENUS in their birth chart should buy any of these two laptop brands – Dell or Lenovo. Because both signify Venus!

VENUS is good when placed in:

Second house
Third house
Sixth house
Seventh house
Tenth house
Eleventh house

So if you have your VENUS placed in any of the above house of your birth chart then just go- ahead and buy a DELL or LENOVO laptop. Because both these brands signify Venus in Astrology.

Who should buy ACER?

Only those fellows who have excellent placement of MOON in their birth charts.

Moon is good when placed in:

Fourth house
Fifth house
Ninth house
Twelfth house

So when you have your MOON placed in the above house of your birth chart then go-ahead and buy ACER Laptops.

Nowadays almost every Laptop Brand comes with similar kind of configurations – so you just have to check which BRAND is astrologically suitable – just the way Mohan was trying to find out.

However the story doesn’t end here…..picture abhi baaki hai mere dost😊

Now comes the LEADER of all LAPTOPS – the APPLE of all LAPTOPS: The Apple Macbook

APPLE is indeed a wonderful company whose founder – Steve Jobs was a highly spiritual person. In his early twenties – Steve Jobs had come all the way to meet the divine spiritual master – NEEM KAROLI BABA – however Baba had taken Samadhi a year before Steve arrived at Vrindavan Ashram. Steve and his friend stayed at the Ashram for a few days after which he left for USA. And then began his journey – when he established the Apple company and started working from a garage. The impact of Neem Karoli Baba was quite deep on Steve and he made APPLE as the Logo of the company – simply because the favorite fruit of Neem Karoli Baba was Apple!

The founder of Apple – Steve Jobs was spiritual by nature. In fact, Steve’s Rahu was in Moola Nakshatra. Rahu’s Nakshatra placement is of great significance – MOOLA is a highly spiritual Nakshatra! And look – the Brand Name: Apple signify number 7! Number 7 is the number of KETU! That is why many sports persons consider the number 7 – as Lucky 7!

Apple Brand also signifies the number 7. No doubt it has been a lucky charm for many people across the globe. However – as mentioned earlier, no matter how BIG a BRAND is – you have first check whether the BRAND is suitable and lucky for you – astrologically.

So although anybody can buy any brand – and anybody can buy Apple brand – still one should definitely buy APPLE LAPTOP if his or her Ketu is in the:

First house
Fifth house
Eighth house
Ninth house
Twelfth house

If you are having a dominant KETU in your horoscope – then you should just get a APPLE brand laptop without thinking too much. Too much thinking is a poison that kills your happiness, and steals your peace of mind. Stop thinking too much. Get out of your head and get into your HEART. Think Less and FEEL MORE.

RAHU blocks you in your HEAD.
KETU sets you FREE from your HEAD so that you can start FEELING the VIBES – you can start LISTENING to what your LIFE is saying. It is only when LISTEN to the voice WITHIN you that you no more remain frustrated – you no more remain angry at life.

On one side is the RAHU BRANDS:

HP, ASUS

On the other side is the KETU BRAND:

Apple

Interestingly, from medical astrology perspective – RAHU gives birth to ACIDITY. Whereas KETU pacifies ACIDITY. APPLE – the name Apple signify KETU and medical fraternity says that Apple pacifies ACIDITY!

You see – how interesting Astrology can be! Only if you are a man of heart – you can understand the true essence of Astrology. Always remember – Heart is the source of intelligence – and intelligence is superior to intellectualism. Intellectualism is of the HEAD – but The Intelligence is of the Heart! When Head starts listening to the HEART – intelligences is born!

The question that Mohan asked was an intelligent one – because it doesn’t matter how BIG a BRAND is – what matters is whether it is BIG for you – meaning suitable for you – astrologically!

Marak Planets for Cancer Ascendant

By Acharya Addittya Tamhankar 0 Comments

SATURN is MARAK for CANCER Ascendant. In general Lord of 7th house and 2nd house are considered as MARAK planets. But it depends of Ascendant (nature) –

MARAK is a Hindi word. Literally it means a KILLER PLANET. Basically this MARAK is your own CREATION – meaning, the past BAD EVIL KARMA that we all do at some point of this birth cycles – are represented by the MARAK Planet! On a higher level, even for a YOGI – the MARAK works exactly the way it works for a common man – but with an exception. The exception is that the YOGI simply embraces DEATH as if it is a part of a ‘JOURNEY’!

Once it happened – Buddha said ” Today I will be leaving this body, ask any questions if you have, because once I am gone, there will be nobody to answer your questions.” The disciples are moved , they say ” We are moved by your decision, we cannot think of any questions, we don’t have any questions.” Buddha said ” Fine, I will then go.” And Buddha leaves. But somebody comes running all the way to meet Buddha. The disciples stop him. They ask ” Who are you and why have you come in such a rush…? The man said ” I have come to meet Buddha, I learned that he is going to die – and I have a question to ask. Please allow me to meet Buddha, please….”
They said ” Where were you all these days when the master was moving around your village?”
The man said ” I was busy with my business,my wife, my children….but now I have come running all the way just to meet Buddha, to ask him a question….”
The disciples said ” That is NOT possible. We cannot let you go ahead. The master has already left us, He cannot meet you.” The man started crying, His cry was so loud and so moving that Buddha came back! And Buddha said ” Ask your question.” The man asked. Buddha answered and the man left happily. Buddha then goes back to the tree, sits and starts moving towards death….for Buddha, Death is a just a journey….

While dying – Buddha close his eyes and said “I have taken the first step – I am no more the body.” And then “I have taken the second step – I am no more the mind.. And then “I have taken the third step – I am no more the heart. And then “I have taken the final step – the fourth step – I have entered into my consciousness.” That very moment HIS breathing stopped, his heartbeat stopped. This is a totally different kind of death – so easy and so relaxed, so grateful to the existence. – Osho

It all depends on HOW YOU PERCEIVE LIFE. The more you will get into Meditations – the more you would realize that there is absolutely NOTHING TO FEAR. Someday – this body has to perish, someday all this fame and wealth that you have been running after has to come to it finish line, so some planet has to become a MARAK planet! But look how beautiful Buddha is – He simply moves towards DEATH as if it is just a PART OF THE PROCESS – you all can also ACCEPT Death (brought by MARAK PLANET) with open arms – and it is very necessary that you leave this human world with a smile on your face – and not crying!

We all come in this human world ‘crying’ – but we all have to leave this human world with a beautiful smile – only then this life is worth it – only then we have truly ‘progressed’ – only then we have truly ‘evolved’ through this human life.

MARAK planets do their role – you do your role – role of understanding the many aspects of this human life, role of realizing your self, role of a meditating man – only then you and all those who are reading this answer will start feeling good and the fear of MARAK or DEATH will no longer remain – you will shiver, you will move – that is natural – but you will also move towards DEATH without any reservation, like Buddha – Death will be no more an end – but a journey that never ends.

Always remember – we exist in time, but we belong to eternity.

Let there be no fear of any MARAK planets – simply flow with life and life will show you the way ahead….

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
