The whole story of human life is supposed to be focused WITHIN. But the focus is always on the outside and that is where the essence is missed – it is simply missed! The Transit of planets is WITHIN us. Every moment with every breath that you take – CHANGE is happening – movement of VIBRATIONS is happening WITHIN us and these VIBRATIONS are based on certain Qualities. AND these Qualities is what the ancient seers have MAPPED with the outer planets of our galaxy.

Always remember – and I say it to all my followers and readers – that it is ALWAYS – ‘INSIDE OUT’ and NOT ‘OUTSIDE INSIDE’!

What is within you – what you are within – what is happening within you is what VIBRATES with the OUTER PLANET TRANSITS – and WHEN the ‘INSIDE SYNC with the OUT – Result manifests! And YOGA is nothing but this Manifestation! How beautiful is all this – this Human Birth is to SELF REALIZE this process by being MEDITATIVE – by TURNING INWARD – because all that you SEEK *is* WITHIN YOU and not without.

If there is Godliness within you – if you are in LOVE with GOD – then no matter where you are – whether you are in Temple or whether you are in a Market crowded with people – nothing can disturb the Joy – the peace within you!

There was one man – he must be like me – very straightforward – because he had NO Agenda – NO business to make – so when there is NO AGENDA – why would you fear or hesitate! Only a man who has something to lose – a man who is CLINGING to everything that he has – goes on fearing – such a man hesitates.

A woman came to seek this man’s advice – she said “ My whole life I have been to temples and hundreds of temples but NOTHING has ever happened – I have never been happy. Please help me to understand where am I missing – what is it that I have been missing my whole life?”

The man said “For the coming 4 days – you should not take bath. After 4 days come to me.”

The woman came after 4 days -she smelled badly – looked dull – looking at the man she said “ 4 days are over – and I am standing before you.”

The man said “Just outside my house there is a temple – go there – sit for 10 minutes and then come back.”

The woman goes to the temple. Then after spending 10 minutes in that temple – she comes back.

The man says “ How do you feel?”

The woman says “ Are you crazy? How would I feel – I am feeling absolutely nothing – no change, I just want to take BATH first – only then when I visit the temple I will feel FRESH.”

The man looked into the eyes of the woman – there was a certain grace to his look – his eyes twinkled and he said “ Beta – this is what I wanted to let you know – UNLESS you ‘TAKE A BATH’ – UNLESS you CLEANSE the DUST (IGNORANCE) WITHIN YOU – UNLESS you LOOK WITHIN – UNLESS You TURN INWARD and FOCUS WITHIN – how will you ever feel FRESH – even though you visit millions and millions of temples?”

The woman hugged the man, touched his feet – her eyes became wet, she started crying……with every tear drop – the IGNORANCE was being washed away……the man raised her and the woman said “ I found my answer…..the way is WITHIN…..”

Unless you are CLEAN – unless you have TURNED INWARD – unless you have started MEDITATING – no matter how many temples and astrologers and pundits and magicians you visit – NOTHING IS EVER GOING TO HAPPEN IN TRUE SENSE.

And the REAL HAPPENING is only WHEN something starts moving within you – when you start vibrating with the DIVINE. REAL TRANSFORMATION is WITHIN.

But People are behind Money, power, sex, pleasures – millions and millions of souls have come and gone – and they all experienced all of these – but where are they after they lose the human body – after the leave the human body?

But not everybody can understand this. And so this answer may be collapsed – but as long as it remains – it can benefit a few of my followers and so the answer.

The ancient scriptures mention “ AHAM BRAMHASMI” – meaning “ I AM THE UNIVERSE.” – When I am the UNIVERSE – it signify that all that is in this UNIVERSE – is also WITHIN Me! Our Ancient Sages were highly spiritual beings – some of them were enlightened beings and so they could relate with the reality of ONENESS. Non-Duality – (Advait).

When the thought – ‘I am the Mind – I am the Body’ ceases to exist – the real journey begins – the Journey Beyond!

Now let us see more around your question of one planet transit.

You must have seen the typical Indian Thali (Lunch Plate)? It looks like this:

Our BIRTH CHART is exactly like this THALI. Just the way – not one single dish CANNOT comprise or makeup the whole THALI similarly just one placement of planet or TRANSIT of planet cannot comprise or makeup the whole of the RESULT!

But people have made ASTROLOGY ONE dimensional – when LIFE is MULTIDIMENSIONAL.

Once you become the center – you start realizing the fact that it is NOT the OUTSIDE that impacts or affects you, it is what lies WITHIN you that affects you and your progress in life.

The ancient sages were not foolish. They were one of the GREATEST SPIRITUAL MASTERS who had SELF REALIZED the fact that what lies within and outside is NOT in CONTRADICTION but rather COMPLIMENTS each other.

The whole UNIVERSE comprises of THREE GUNAS or QUALITIES:

TAMAS GUNA ( Base level – animal instincts quality)

RAJAS GUNA ( Pleasure seeking quality – show off- boasting – lavish quality)

SATVIC GUNA ( God loving – pure- pious – sensitive – forgiving quality)

All the 9 planets or bodies REPRESENT the above qualities. OUR WHOLE DESTINY is BASED ON THE PLAY and COMBINATION OF THESE QUALITIES. The PLANETS are nothing but these QUALITIES. Each PLANET represent a specific quality (GUNA).

SHANI, RAHU, MARS – fall in the TAMAS GUNA (Aggressive, Negative)

VENUS, MERCURY, KETU – fall in the RAJAS GUNA (Pleasure seeking, Royal)

JUPITER, MOON, SUN – fall in the SATVIC GUNA (Divine seeking, Pious, Holy)

Every moment – every day – WITHIN us the the constant play of these QUALITIES (Planets) is going on….when you are ANGRY – when you want to plot against someone – Saturn and Mars are activated.

When you are being too calculating and looking to make a deal – Venus and Mercury is activated.

When you are in a romantic mood – Venus and Moon is activated

When you want to have some hard sex – Venus and Mars is activated.

When you are in a BLISSFUL and devoted mood – Jupiter, Sun or Jupiter, Moon qualities are activated within you.

The point is that NO SINGLE PLANET defines the story of your life – your mood or your Karma.

So now tell me – how can just one transit aspect of Saturn can define or predict the outcome of your life, my life or anybody who is reading this answer – his or her life?

But money has to be earned – so then begins the business of YouTube videos and scary articles on how Saturn in 5th or 7th or 8th does this and that – it is the nature of this human world- to CREATE FEAR because FEAR sells faster than FAITH!

FEAR sells. Mohan asked “Why – why FEAR sells?

And the answer is IGNORANCE. The answer is ABSENCE of SELF-KNOWLEDGE. The answer is the tendency to FOLLOW THE MIND. And the MIND is a monkey. The nature of the MIND is to fear – what will you do? You will continue to perceive life with one dimension and then you are lost – you are simply lost.

But I want to tell all my followers and readers that never perceive life with One dimension- never perceive Astrology with One dimension – never perceive your own SELF with One dimension – BECAUSE life is NOT one dimensional – life is Multidimensional.

But this is human world. There is question of money of survival of doing something to create a storm and so then you see all kind of scary YouTube videos on Astrology or read one dimensional articles on Saturn transit or Rahu transit. But one should realize that all of this is- Pure entertainment and NOT the Truth.

AND Truth is far more dangerous IF you are still caught in the trap of your mind!

Only a man – only a woman who is moving beyond the MIND can FACE THE TRUTH – the rest of the crowd will just continue to remain in their own self-made PRISON OF MIND.

All that you read about astrology transit is ONE DIMENSIONAL – focusing on anyone PLANET. All those YOU TUBE videos that you see are also ONE DIMENSIONAL – they are GOOD for ENTERTAINMENT – but that is all!

And so I keep myself away from the crowd – because they are all focusing on ONE DIMENSIONAL ASTROLOGY whereas ASTROLOGY is meant to be MULTIDIMENSIONAL.

And so I remain away from the crowd – away from all those INTELLECTUALS – away from all those RAHU-ish men and women – because they all move with the CROWD and TRUTH never happens to a CROWD.

“Who is an Individual?” asked Mohan

Individual is that person who is moving beyond Mind. Who is meditating and his or her meditation is not to attain anything but to simply come to the center of his being – because when you are centered – you start overcoming the MIND – that’s its beginning. The Journey from MIND to NO MIND.

Always remember and I say it specifically for my followers that – TRUTH happens – but it happens only when you have become a NO MIND.

My new book NO MIND shares more on the futility of this thing called MIND.

TRANSIT has to be studied and observed COLLECTIVELY – with MULTI DIMENSIONAL perspective. It is like a CRICKET MATCH – you see only the bowler bowling – when in reality you have to understand the fact that it is NOT just the BOWLER who is going to take the WICKET alone – it is the SUPPORT of all the FIELDING teammates that is going to trigger a WICKET (RESULT).

TRANSIT is also not PLANET based. It is NAKSHATRA based. SATURN is transiting in which Nakshatra? Which Nakshatra Pada? Every Rashi or Zodiac Sign has 4 Padas.

So the whole story of transits is not just about the Sign – but about 27 Nakshatras and 108 Padas and their Ruling planets!

Now that we have seen the whole detailed NAKSHATRA PADA and its RULING PLANETS – let us see how SATURN will TRANSIT through CAPRICORN (MAKAR) for the coming months and years.

SIGN CAPRICORN –

SATURN for the initial coming months will simply transit through the following PADA of UTTARASHADA NAKSHATRA – targeting – KETU, SUN, MARS. So on a very generic viewpoint the house ruled by these 3 planets and the house they are placed – all the matters related to these houses will come forth. AGAIN it is NOT that SATURN always brings PAIN and SUFFERING. A POSITIVE SATURN (Meaning POSITIVE PAST KARMA) can also enlighten you – make you aware of the matters related to these 3 PADA RULERS in your horoscope – but as mentioned earlier – you cannot just have ONE DIMENSION of SATURN TRANSIT – you have to consider the whole plethora of planetary transits – to come to a conclusion or observation.

SO Saturn will transit through 9 PADAS and every time each PADA RULER will determine a certain quality – direction to the events that SATURN MAY PROVIDE COLLECTIVELY WITH OTHER TRANSITING PLANETS – as mentioned earlier ASTROLOGY IS MULTIDIMENSIONAL just the way LIFE is MULTIDIMENSIONAL.

So whoever is following me – should NOT take the Youtube videos or articles seriously – because if they are just focusing on one planet transit leading to a certain result than all that is fake – it can be a good entertainment but not a reality.

But the larger question is who wants to know the reality!!! ENTERTAINMENT sells – REALITY does not.

REALITY will kill all your notions and preconceived ideas about Astrology. And so I never entertain anybody who wants to learn astrology from me. Because it is impossible- he or she will go nuts – because Truth is hard, very hard.

And so I keep sharing through this forum. It is a SILENT sharing – those who can understand will resonate with me – those who cannot will ridicule me.

But what I am – remains.

My state does not change based on OTHER’s judgement because once you know – who you are and what you are – does it make a difference to what the world has to say about you?

And I tell this to all my genuine followers and readers – that this is very significant. If anybody in your life considers you as utter foolish and mad – does that make a difference to your state IF you know who you are and what you are from WITHIN?

It does NOT.

Yesterday Mohan said “ A few people called me ‘ Beggar’ “

I asked “ Mohan – how much is your bank balance?”

Mohan said “ Around 20 Lakhs in savings and some 10 lakhs in equity.”

I said “ Then are you a Beggar?”

Mohan quickly responded “ No I am NOT”

Then I smiled and said “ Then tell me Mohan – what difference does it make if those people or the whole World calls you Beggar- YOU know the state of your reality. You know that you have a big fat bank balance. You know you are RICH.”

Mohan felt relieved. And this is what I am telling each one of you – whoever is reading this answer – that NEVER MIND what the other say about you – when you know your own reality!

But then the larger question is that – Why we don’t get it? Why we take such offenses to our heart? Because we are ALWAYS seeking VALIDATION from OTHERS. Because we Always want to validate that “ I am Good” from others – especially from our near and dear ones.

You see – we always seek CERTIFICATE OF GOODNESS or GREATNESS from Others and this how we go on missing life – this is how we continue to depend on the other’s opinions about ourselves who are still to know themselves!

And this is the greatest irony of this human world. We are not happy until we hear someone validate our greatness our goodness.

A man who turns inward – a man who self inquire – a man who is trying to self realize his own qualities and his own short comings – need no certification or validation from others. HE is perfectly aware of himself – he knows his foolishness and he knows his being wise- and he knows the art of balancing these two ends and this art of balancing the negative with the positive makes him a Buddha!

BALANCE. A Balance has to be maintained. TOO MUCH of WISDOM will make you a long face and TOO MUCH of FOOLISHNESS will make you Suicidal.

LAO TZU – the divine spiritual master says “TOO MUCH IS THE ONLY SIN.”!

And nowadays when it comes to TRANSITS – specially of fearful planets like SATURN or RAHU – the whole media is bend on doing it TOO MUCH to cause FEAR within you and so I UNDERSTAND. I perfectly understand from where your question is coming and because I understand – I am helping you and through you – all my followers and readers to come out of this TOO MUCH of EXAGARRATION that focuses on just ONE DIMENSION of planet’s transit and jumps on conclusions- if Astrology would have been so simple – then everybody would have become an Astrologer by default! But that’s not the case. That’s not the reality.

Apart from Transits – there are many many movements happening WITHIN you – many transits and changes happening within you – what are they?

MAHADASHA. ANTARDASHA. PRATYANTARDASHA. TRANSITS OF OTHER 8 PLANETS OR ENTITIES. EACH TRANSIT MANIFEST ITS OWN QUALITIES VIA NAKSHATRA AND PADA . SO AT A GIVEN TIME – 9 PLANETS TRANSITING THROUGH EACH NAKSHATRA – THAT BRINGS 9 MORE NAKSHATRA LORDS AND THEIR PLACEMENTS. THEN COMES THE CONSTANT OCCURENCE OF NEW MOON DAY AND FULL MOON DAYS – IN BETWEEN ARE THE QUARTERLY ECLIPSES- SO MANY MANY MOVEMENTS OR TRANSITS HAPPENING WITHIN YOU – SO how can just ONE planet transit bring forth the whole story that you are going to experience NOW or the NEXT moment?

But who wants to listen? That is why my Guru always used to say that Astrology is a very complex subject – understand it, self realize it BUT don’t get carried away by it!

Astrology is good as long as you don’t get carried away by it. It is good to know certain aspects of astrology- but astrology is just a small river – a very small river – a very small subject of the larger subject that is SPIRITUALITY. Spirituality is a VAST OCEAN – ASTROLOGY is just one small river that flows and merges with it – and if it does not than you remain just a calculating parrot and I would not want all my followers to become a parrot – I would love to see all my readers and followers to become EAGLES – to UNDERSTAND the true meaning of ASTROLOGY – to understand the true essence of ASTROLOGY – once you understand the basics – then you are ready to build your own tower.

You all have to focus within – and realize the fact that you got to have a multi-dimensional perspective towards Astrology and LIFE in its totality – else the Bull anyhow goes round and round – it thinks that it is travelling a lot – walking a lot – going to many places – but the FACT is HE simply moves round and round and round – leading him to nowhere!

But you all – and you all must be special because following me is not everybody’s potential – and so I would not like to see you all going nowhere – and the moment you starting focusing WITHIN – you find the way – and so come you all – come and close your eyes and spend 20 minutes daily in deep meditation. Gradually increase the time. Because life is short – time is running out – Death never comes with a scheduled appointment – Death simply strikes and you don’t know – when?

But Life is Beautiful because there is Death! Had there been NO DEATH – we would not have valued the immense significance of the precious LIFE that we live! Had there been NO DIFFICULTIES, NO CHALLENGES, NO FAILURES – we would not have valued the SUCCESS that we achieve! So you see – Sugar and Chilies make the ‘dish’ tasty – similarly failures, and success makes our ‘life’ meaningful – it adds a certain quality of depth of understanding to our existence!

So never complain – never say “ I don’t get what I deserve” – because LIFE is a JOURNEY – a beautiful Journey. Ups and Downs of life – keeps you ALIVE.

“Ups and downs in life are very important to keep us going, because a straight line even in an ECG means we are not alive.” – Ratan Tata

And this is EXACTLY what TRANSITS is all about. UPs and DOWNs. If you had a good phase of certain transits – chances are that the next phase may not be so good – followed with the next phase that will be too good and this is how the cycle of transits continue – cycle after cycle – but what TRIGGERS these transits is your PERSONAL – very PERSONAL BIRTH CHART DASHA PERIODS and PROGRESSIVE CHARTS – and the overall picture that your SUDARSHAN CHAKRA interprets.

So I earnestly appeal not just to the questioner but to all my dear followers and readers that DO NOT GO BY just one transit of a certain planet – ASTROLOGY has much to it and it is always in your interest to take a balanced view after evaluating all the supporting aspects and transits and DASHA and progressions of your personal birth chart.

This whole life is like a seesaw!

Today you are DOWN – and tomorrow you are UP – but it is this UP and DOWN that makes our life a meaningful life. Pain comes, wounds of failures and rejections are there BUT it is only through these WOUNDS that you MATURE and you EVOLVE as a much better much conscious human being – aware, forgiving and loving human being.

And so I tell you all – DO NOT FEAR the WOUNDS – do not complain – do not regret the WOUNDS because this is the way life is ought to be! This is how life blossoms – this is how you flower – this is the way of its happening!

You don’t have spend your valuable time in reading about transits because not a single person can give you the HOLISTIC VIEW of what is going to happen with you through just one planet transit! For that your personal chart need to be observed and all the hundreds of possibilities taken into consideration before reaching towards a conclusion! It is deep – but people are shallow – today’s AGE is like that – you cannot do much about it.

But you can always help yourself by turning inward and Meditating! You can always try to change yourself! When I was clever I wanted to CHANGE the world – but when I became wise – I started changing myself says the divine Sufi Saint – Rumi!

So come – come you all and Meditate.

Meditation is simply entering into yourself – turning inward – by focusing all your energy on the name of the Holy Lord. Meditation is an entrance within your being. And the entrance is so deep that nothing remains, no body, no mind…..and yet all is found!

Focus within – understand and self-realize the fact that the transits the planets the Nakshatras – they all are NOT outside but WITHIN your being.

Perceive LIFE in TOTALITY. Perceive Astrology in TOTALITY. Unless you are TOTAL – there is NO coming to the TRUTH. The only way to self-realize the TRUTH is by BEING TOTAL. Be TOTAL.

How can you be total? Totality will come one day. After you have reached your very innermost core, you will be total in your actions. The Key is to turn inward and realize your SELF.

Turn inward. Close your eyes. Fall in love. And Stay there. Focus on your breathing – listen to the voice within.

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha.Jai Guru.

Intelligence is of the heart. Intellectualism is of the Mind (logic). Saturn compels you all to remain within the realms of logic – Ketu encourages you all to move beyond all the realms of logic!

KETU has the immense potential to help you move beyond the Mind. But when Ketu is with Saturn – it is like a Sanyasi (Monk) – is with a Politician!

Once it happened—a great mystic (Ketu) heard that one of his friends have become the Prime Minister of the country. They had played together when they were kids, they had spend time together in the same school, same college – it is just that one became a great mystic and the other became a Politician. And now the Politician had become the Prime Minister. So the great mystic thought that he should visit his old friend and congratulate him. And so the mystic embarked on his long journey—he had to travel through the mountains – he had to climb down the mountain—it was a very tiresome journey but just for the love of friendship—just because he loved his Politician friend – he kept walking…..through the mountains, the forests…..towards the Capital…..

Ketu is like this – once decided – he can jump into the unknown. He loves, but his love is DETACHED. That is how a great Yogi is – that is how this great mystic is….and so he kept walking…..and after many days he reached the Capital. In the capital city, a few people helped him reach the Prime Minister’s residence.

The Prime Minister was getting ready for a couple of meetings. It was election time. And so he had no time to spare! When the great mystic came, he recognized the mystic – he recognized that his old friend had come to meet him, to congratulate him….but a Politician is after all a Politician! The head is more, the logic is more, the calculations are more – and so he said to the great mystic:

“I am happy to see you after such a long time. But I have many appointments lined up – you know now that I have become the Prime Minister, my schedule has become more busier than it was. Why don’t you come with me, on my way, we can talk and remember our childhood days. I would love if you can come with me.”

The great mystic was such a simple man. With great powers, with great insights, with great understanding and yet he was such a humble man. A tree loaded with fruits is always bending – always humble! And so the great mystic looking into the eyes of his old friend said: “How can I come with you? You are the Prime Minister of this country. Look at me, I have come all the way from the Himalayas and you can see my clothes – they are all in dust, also torn at some places, it would not look good for me to accompany you.”

The Prime Minister – a seasoned Politician (Saturn) said: “You don’t worry, I have a very expensive overcoat. I have never used it, it was gifted to me by the Queen of England. I will give you the coat. You just put it on, it will cover your ragged clothes, the dust and everything.”

The coat was given to him.

The Prime Minister’s election campaign began. They went to the first house – They entered the house. The Prime Minister introduced his friend: “He is a great mystic. He lives in the mountains. Everything that he has is his own, except the coat — that is mine.”
The mystic could not believe it: “What kind of stupidity is this?”
Even the family was shocked, to insult the mystic in such a way.
Once they were out of the house, the mystic said, “It is better I do not accompany you. You insulted me. What was the need to say that it is your coat? They were not asking.”

The Prime Minister said, “I am sorry, forgive me. And if you don’t come with me to the next appointment, I will think you have not forgiven me.”

The mystic was a simple-heart man. He said, “Then it is okay, I am coming.”

Entering the second house, the prime minister introduced him: “He is a great mystic who lives in the mountains. Everything is his — even the coat is his!“

The mystic could not believe that this man had any intelligence at all. Outside the house he simply refused: “I cannot go to your third appointment. This is too much.”

But the politician said, “I have said that the coat is yours!”

The mystic said, “It is unbelievable how unintelligent a man can be. Your assertion, emphasis, that the coat is mine, creates suspicion: there is something you are hiding. What is the need to mention the coat at all? I don’t see the point that in any introduction coats need to be introduced.”

And the Politician (Prime Minister) said, “Forgive me, but if you don’t come to the third appointment I will never forget that I have hurt you. Please, there is only one more appointment, and I will not say that the coat is yours or the coat is mine. Don’t be worried about it.”

The simple mystic, innocent, agreed to go with him. At the third house he introduced the mystic in the same way, “He is a great mystic from the mountains. All the clothes are his, but as far as the coat is concerned, it is better not to say anything!”

A politician is a politician. A Saturn is a Saturn. Saturn wants credit for every small thing! A mystic is a mystic. A Ketu is a Ketu. Ketu is simply not bothered for any credit – any name – any fame – it is just happy to BE – happy to offer his love – unconditionally! The mystic had come all the way – just to congratulate his friend who had become Prime Minister – the mystic was such a simple man – he had absolutely no idea that the man whom he loved – is not leaving even him – to get some credit – to do some politics – do show people how good he had been to him by offering the expensive coat! The great mystic was not disappointed but when he returned back – before leaving he said “ I had come out of love, but you made even this moment of our coming together – a ‘medium’ for your political gains! You kept on bragging on the coat that you offered me to all the people that we visited – what was the need? You have changed and nobody can now help you. You were talking of that one coat – let me tell you – that my Guru can create hundred of Prime Ministers in such coats – what to say about the coat then! I am going now , but you please become aware. Else you will be soon in trouble.”

And the great mystic left, never ever to come back in this ‘world of politicians’! He said “ I am happy in my own bliss, and the bliss within is so beautiful, so divine, so pure that nothing can stand before it – it is the ultimate joy of my being – the love of my Guru, my beloved Master!”

And so he never came back in this world – he was never seen again.

Ketu knows nothing of politics but love. Saturn knows nothing of love but politics. These are two opposite poles – the mystic is the North Pole, the politician is the South Pole – and they can never coexist – Buddha cannot live with Hitler – and Hitler cannot live with Buddha!

A Politician is not an intelligent person. He may be intellectual – but certainly not intelligent! A man of heart is intelligent – he can feel the love of his friend – he can be more receptive, more understanding – more willing to go out of his way. An intelligent man is deep in his heart – he can vibrate to the love – he can understand you – he can relate with you – he can feel love because he thinks less and feels more.

But a intellectual man is trapped in his head – in his logic – he cannot feel love – because he feels less and thinks more. A Politician is always in his head. Logic is his way – the only way. He knows only calculations – and ‘calculations’ has nothing to do with intelligence.

The idea of becoming a HERO is very different in a Politician’s dictionary. Adolf Hitler in his Autobiography writes: “If a Politician wants to be a great hero, a great historical figure, then the only way is to create a great war. Without war you don’t have heroes.”

And Adolf Hitler is saying the truth. Because if you all look back into the history of this human world – you will realize that all those Politicians who have fought wars – great wars have actually become HERO!

Alexander the Great, Napoleon Bonaparte, Nadir shah, Tamerlane, Genghis Khan, Joseph Stalin, Benito Mussolini, Adolf Hitler, Winston Churchill… And what have these people got, except that they lived at the time of a great war?

Politicians has no mercy. Saturn has no mercy. Saturn is a seasoned politician. Therefore Saturn is a great friend of Mercury – because Mercury gives strength to its power of judgement. Mercury brings abundance of ‘LOGIC’ and Saturn loves Logic! Mars is in total contrast – there is absolute no logic to Mars – just energy – pure energy. And so Saturn has a strong dislike towards Mars.

SATURN is highly material by nature. And so Saturn loves VENUS (Bhogi) and Saturn loves Mercury (Logic, Calculative, Pragmatic).

Saturn dislikes all that has NO LOGIC.

MARS has no logic. Just Pure Energy.

KETU has no logic. Just Pure Detachment.

GURU has no logic. Just Pure Righteousness.

SUN has no logic. Just Pure Consciousness.

MOON – Just Pure Emotional. And Saturn knows nothing of emotions!

Saturn has no emotions. Let this be very clear. Because emotions can become a hurdle when it comes to applying logic and making good decisions and judgments. And so Saturn is very practical and pragmatic. Considers only the facts and figures. That is why in companies- generally those who reach higher positions (authoritative) have a strong Saturn in their birth charts because without Saturn how can they effectively measure the performance of the company? And so generally successive leaders and top executives have a good Saturn placements in their birth charts. Generally you will not find Ketu or Rahu associated with their Saturn by any means.

The so called ‘EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE’ that now is being discussed in the boardrooms of executives across the Western countries – happens when SATURN comes in a positive aspect with JUPITER – than Jupiter’s intelligence drives SATURN in managing emotions intelligently.

That is why – I personally love the conjunction of SATURN + JUPITER. It brings a certain depth, a certain quality to the individual. It is a great combination especially for spiritual progress – if other placements are favorable.

There are only two planets who are ‘dealers’ – MERCURY and VENUS. Venus is a selfish planet. BHOGI by nature. MATERIAL by nature. These 2 planets bring the best out of Saturn – bringing the spirit of entrepreneurship and if other aspects support than success in business is guaranteed.

MERCURY and VENUS – both are the only natural ‘friends’ of Saturn. A successful businessman always has a positive placement of MERCURY, VENUS AND SATURN! Once this ‘party’ of 3 favor you – you become a good ‘dealer’ – so one side of your life – ‘money’ and ‘pleasures’ is taken care of. What suffers is then the other side – the lack of peace within, bliss within, the missing of joy within – the missing of happiness – the inability of coming to the state of consciousness!

Understand the fact and I insist to all my followers, readers and fellow travelers – Saturn CANNOT LET GO. Revenge is impossible to deny. A Saturnian person is revengeful – he or she – cannot let go. They cannot forgive. They cannot understand. Only a man who CAN understand can forgive.

Saturn has no space for understanding – an eye for an eye – is the only answer that Saturn knows – and so WAR is impossible to avoid – WAR becomes the only answer. Revenge becomes the only answer – Punishment becomes the only answer. And so SATURN is feared.

But everything in the world can be transformed – GOD’s creation never goes waste IF it comes in contact with something/someone who can transform it to its benefit – someone who can uplift it to higher realms of consciousness!

And so now let us see who can transform Saturn’s qualities to attain the higher realms of consciousness!

That is Shri Guru. Jupiter. And the holy conjunction of SATURN + JUPITER.

Now –

Let us see who can transform Saturn’s qualities to attain a well-settled love relationship!

That is the ever-green romantic Venus. The sweet conjunction of SATURN + VENUS.

Let us see who can transform Saturn’s qualities to attain pragmatic higher business goals!

That is logical calculative Mercury. The calculative pragmatic conjunction of SATURN + MERCURY.

SATURN is fine tuned as long as it comes in conjunction with the above 3 planets.

The moment SATURN comes with MARS -Saturn loses its potential to give good results. Somewhere the KARMIC cycle of the native (past births) had NOT been that great. ENERGY is now slowed down. Sexual energy – sexual bliss – comes under the ‘control’ of Saturn. The free flow of energy – to fight, to voice out, to have a great sexual life (Mar’s energy is required in the actual ACT of SEX) is now damaged. On the other side – the pragmatism of SATURN is hampered by MARS. So both damage each others’s qualities – leading to havoc in the native’s life.

The moment SATURN comes with SUN – Consciousness is blocked. The native commits many mistakes because consciousness is missing, ignorance is more. Therefore his or her life is filled with more tragedies than otherwise. Many losses, many hardships – this happens because understand the fact – that this life is the outcome of previous life where the native had committed many acts out of ignorance – so now God is giving him or her a second chance – through the hardships, through the sufferings – if they can realize – if they can turn inward, if they can embark on the Journey beyond Mind, if they can meditate – than the next life comes with a better Saturn, a better Sun placement.

The moment SATURN comes with RAHU – A cursed life. Such a person is cursed. And the source or the reason for this curse – is DESIRES. Such a person has done certain sinful acts due to (absence of consciousness) in previous life – just to achieve certain desire – certain pleasure – certain goal. But while doing so – such a person has caused much pain to others – and those others have cursed him or her – this curse manifests in the form of SATURN + RAHU. With this combination the person feels lost – now desires are not fulfilled – and even if they fulfill – the ‘party’ does not long for last! And so such a soul remains unsatisfied – it is one of the most unholy combination. A very unfortunate state – it is better that I don’t say much – because TRUTH is HARD.

The moment SATURN comes with MOON – A highly political person. Cunning. Pragmatic. Moon is like water – whatever color you mix in the water – the water becomes of that color! Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb had this placement – Krittika Moon with Saturn in Taurus Sign. And history is witness to the fact that how much cunning, cruel and political – Aurangzeb was!

But it is not just this one placement that makes Aurangzeb a highly cunning and political person – but there is one more aspect to his chart and that is his Ascendant (Aquarius) Lord – Saturn is Retrograde.

And I have been mentioning again and again that the moment the Lagna (Ascendant) Lord is seen as Retrograde – the native by default is a crooked person – and here Aurangzeb is not only crooked but his Ascendant lord – Retrograde Saturn is also in conjunction with Moon (Retrograde Saturn + Moon) – so you all can imagine how terrible this man must have been!

Aurangzeb himself mentions that how sinful he has been throughout his life….

Before his death, Aurangzeb wrote his last letters to his sons. And in one letter he writes:

“Old age is arrived: weakness subdues me, and strength has forsaken all my members. I came a stranger into this world, and a stranger I depart. I know nothing of myself, what I am, and for what I am destined. The instant which passed in power, hath left only sorrow behind it. I have not been the guardian and protector of the empire. My valuable time has been passed vainly.”

Whole life this man spends in killing millions of innocent people, destroying many temples, killing his own brothers – imprisoning his own father – so much of strength he uses – just to acquire POWER – and look what this man who rules the whole Indian Subcontinent as Emperor Aurangzeb for over 20 years – writes before his death:

//The instant which passed in power, hath left only sorrow behind it. My valuable time has been passed vainly.//

This is how it is. Ignorance leads us to many sinful ACTS (Karma) and then you come back to pay for all those ACTS of ignorance (SIN) that you had committed.

Who knows where would be Aurangzeb now – maybe still paying for his millions of sins. And who knows where we all be going? Because just like Aurangzeb – we too commit many acts of ignorance (SIN) – though they may not be as pronounced as AURANGZEB – but we have to be careful – else it would not take much time for us to get lost on the path of AURANGZEB when we are supposed to follow the path of great Kings like Chatrapatti Shivaji, Maharana Pratap!

It is said that when Akbar came to know of the death of his opponent – Maharana Pratap – he bowed and said “ Rana – you have won, and I haven’t.”

Such was the valor of the great Rajput King – Maharana Pratap.

Aurangzeb is a good example of SATURN+MOON conjunction.

Saturn is not happy with MOON – Saturn ensures that MOON comes in its total control – and so all qualities of SATURN (good/bad) penetrate into the MOON (MIND) and the person becomes SATURN. Such a person is too cold blooded – even if angry – does not express openly.

The other side of this placement is that REPRESSION is seen more than EXPRESSION. And so many times – if other aspects are not supportive – then people with this Saturn combination often commit suicide – are prone to committing suicide.

REPRESSION is something that goes on killing you. You want to have ‘experiences’ – sex, love, joy, bliss, peace – you want all kind of experiences but when you REPRESS your desires, your feelings – you don’t move ahead – and unless you move ahead – SELF-LEARNING is not possible! And when there is absolutely no SELF-LEARNING – how can you progress in true sense? How can you grow in the real sense?

And so REPRESSION blocks your growth – never REPRESS your feelings, if you LOVE someone – step ahead and EXPRESS. Expression is LIFE. Repression is Suicide!

A person who is eating Non-Veg for many years – at some point may realize that he must slow down – and shift his gears to vegetarian food.

A person who have had plenty of sexual experiences and pleasures – at some point may realize that he should stop monkeying around – enough is enough – now it is time to experience something that is far beautiful, far blissful than SEX.

A person who have bee running behind money and accumulating his whole life – comes to the realization that enough is enough – now it is time to do something for the nation – for others – for those who are still struggling to earn!

So you see – it is only when you EXPERIENCE – that you can UNDERSTAND – and it is only when you understand that you can REALIZE! And so in my life – I respect every man and every woman who have been through all kind of experiences – because such a man – such a woman CAN move on to the next level – the spiritual level – and only such men and women can become YOGI and YOGINI in the true sense. I may be condemned by certain pundits, certain intellectual folks – but who cares – TRUTH never cares for what is going to happen – TRUTH is simply happy to share what *is* – and what is – *is*! Truth remains while the rest sooner or later gets dissolved with time.

The whole purpose of meditation is to help you to remain in the *is* – there should be no ‘was’ and no ‘will’ – just ‘is’ – because life is in this moment – and only a man who lives moment to moment is a man of awareness! Isness is his way of life – Isness is my way of life and Isness should be the way of your life!

SATURN is all about being REAL. Understand this – and I appeal to all my followers, readers and fellow travelers. SATURN is Being REAL. And Life *is* flowing now – NOW is the REAL MOMENT! Whenever SATURN comes in trine (triangle) aspect with SUN – it is a beautiful development. The ‘Consciousness’ (SUN) now helps you to BE HERE NOW – in the REAL MOMENT (SATURN).

Whenever spiritual planets come in contact with SATURN – SATURN transforms to an altogether different level – now the same material SATURN helps the native to progress in his or her spiritual journey.

To attain something that is far beautiful – far blissful – one has to let go – drop certain aspects of his or her life! And so when SATURN comes in contact with SHRI KETU – two things can happen:

1. Either you remain confused – that leads to material loss
2. Either you rise above the material world – and experience the spiritual bliss within

Now the first possibility is seen when the other Kundli apsects are such that the native is pure material (BHOGI) by nature. In such a case – the first possibility is prominently seen – there is no success – no stability – no peace – no prosperity.

The second possibility is seen when the other Kundli aspects signify a spiritual inclination – that the native is originally a YOGI – and spiritual by nature. Then there is a song to it – a dance – than such a combination brings an altogether different level of spiritual experiences.

In general the first possibility is seen because the majority is BHOGI by nature. And so this SATURN KETU conjunction becomes a challenging position for many people. Here KETU nullifies many of SATURN’s positive qualities. Specifically this is definately NOT a good position for authority figures – and the fact is that with this kind of placement – rarely does an individual becomes a authority figure or a top executive!

To become a top level executive – the C-class executive – it is necessary that SATURN is NOT with Ketu!

A Political leader, a Government Executive or a Top Executive (SATURN) of a private company will find it difficult to make decisions if there is always a SANYASI (KETU) sitting on his head!

Nehru and many other political leaders were finding it very difficult to tackle the political issues with Pakistan – just because there was always the Mahatama Gandhi (Ketu) sitting on their Head! It was only after the Mahatama left this world that Nehru and his government (Saturn) could make some hard decisions.

SATURN wants POWER. REAL POWER. And KETU is absolutely disinterested in POWER POSITIONS. Tell me – and I insisit to all of you – tell me – how can this ‘marriage’ work? One has no interest in POWER. And the other is very much interested in POWER.

And so whenever SATURN KETU come together the desire for POWER is less.

And whenever SATURN RAHU come together the desire for POWER is more.

See how beautiful the art of astrology can be! Astrology is not alien – it is very much within us – it is a play of qualities, of energies, of vibrations, of nature, of relating!

Whenever there is ‘relating’ – there is a ‘spark’ – the very base of FRIENDSHIP is relating! Arjuna could relate with Krishna. Peter could relate with Jesus. Ananda could relate with Buddha.

Relating is beautiful than Relationships. When you are relating -you are simply relating – there are no expectations – but in relationships – there are expectations!

When in relationships – expectations come and these expectations lead you to the road of many miseries! Because you expect something – you are dependent – you become dependent – there is no independence – you are locked in a relationship. Relationships closes the door to Freedom. And Love ceases to exist the moment there is no freedom!

Relationships cannot give you absolute freedom. Relating can!

When it comes to RELATING – where is the question of dependency? You are simply relating – resonating and that is beautiful.

When ‘Relating’ happens between two individuals, between two planets – then there is a song to it – music, melody and love is all over!

This kind of ‘Relating’ does not happen between SATURN and KETU. They are two polarities – one is Hitler and the other is Buddha! And so comes the complacency.

Complacency means a feeling of contentment or self-satisfaction, often combined with a lack of awareness of pending trouble or controversy. This unawareness comes because of KETU. KETU creates many clouds of confusion in your mind – and so then what ‘APPEARS’ seems to be the REAL – but in reality it is not.

In short the realism of SATURN is damaged by the association of KETU.

Whenever KETU comes in contact with a planet – it brings distortion – and so what is real – is never realized!

KETU – SATURN = No realism. Distortion of reality.

KETU – MOON = No emotional intelligence. Distortion of emotions. Emotionally unstable.

KETU – SUN = Unfortunate conjunction. Consciousness is distorted. Person is or spends his life in more ignorance than consciousness.

KETU – Jupiter = A good conjunction for spiritual progress – Here Guru channelizes KETU’s distortion – nature of detachment to the native’s progress.

KETU-VENUS = Damages the prospects of sexual/marriage prospects. Person suffers through relationships. KETU’s energy is against Venus who is BHOGI – pleasure seeking.

KETU-Mercury = Logic is less – hampers the logical ability of the native. But if the native is on spiritual path – this can be a blessing in disguise – because in God’s kingdom – logic has no place – LOVE has! And where there is NO LOGIC – LOVE is! So this can be a boon or a curse – depends on which path the native has been from past birth and rebirths.

Let me tell you all – KETU is gracious to all those individuals who are set on their spiritual journey! And the same KETU can play havoc for those individual who are simply clinging to the material pleasures – sex, money, wealth, properties, power.

And that is why the energy of Shri KETU is totally against the energy of RAHU.

RAHU wants SEX. KETU is not interested in SEX. RAHU wants POWER. KETU is disinterested in having POWER. RAHU is highly political. KETU is such a simply being – just like the great mystic who comes all the way to congratulate his Politician friend.

Every person’s birth chart is either under the realms of RAHU. Or under the influence of Shri KETU. Depends on what ‘path’ the soul has embarked upon for many lives after lives.

Yesterday somebody was mentioning about the cruelty of the Mughal Emperors – but even among these cruel Mughal Emperors – there was one man who was very unique – different from the rest of his predecessors and successors – and his name was Jalaludin Akbar.

By and by – it occurs to me that from the Mughal Sultante – if there was any Emperor who was truly worth of respect than that was Emperor Akbar!

Although a Muslim – Emperor Akbar was the only Emperor who went out of his way – dropped his own religion and established a new religion – Din-I-ilahi – a religion that had the best teachings and values of all three religions – Hindu, Muslim and Christianity.

There is one beautiful incident – and it is related to the city of Fatehpur Sikhri. Akbar had a dream of building a beautiful new city and he spend millions to build Fatehpur Sikhri. A grand city was build and then one of the largest gate of the world was build at the entrance of Fatehpur Sikhri.

And the Gate was named : Bulland Darwaza. (Gate of Magnificence)

When the door was build, Akbar asked his wise men to come up with a sentence – a beautiful meaningful insightful sentence – that can be engraved on this magnificent door that stands on a bridge.

The wise men of Mughal Emperor Akbar searched and searched in all the scriptures, in all the literature of the world, and finally they found a sentence in the Holy Bible! As if the sentence was said specially to be engraved on the gate of the capital of Fatehpur Sikri. And the wonderful insightful sentence that you all will see – even today – on the largest gate of the world – Buland Darwaza – is:

Isa (Jesus) son of Mary said: “The world is a bridge, pass over it, but build no houses upon it. He who hopes for a day, may hope for eternity; but the world endures but an hour. Spend it in prayer for the rest is unseen.”

How deep is this sentence. How deep. I am speechless, I am simply speechless.

And someone like Akbar can only do this – He was a Muslim – but he did not care – he simply loved the sayings of Jesus and he choose it for one of his greatest creations – the city of Fatehpur Sikri! It may not sound good to those who are Hard liner Hindus – but the fact is – that even though I am also a Hindu – I have absolutely no hesitation to mention the greatness of Emperor Akbar – in the whole lineage of Mughal Sultanate – it is only Akbar who still is remembered by people of all religions – simply because a time came in his life when he went beyond his own religion – against all the Muslim hard liners of His times and embraced the religion of humanity – the religion of LOVE – Din-I-Ilahi!

Read the sentence that Akbar choose from the Holy Bible to engrave on the Gate Bulland Darwaza – read it again – and you will realize the beauty of it – the whole message is in one line –

“It (Life) is only a bridge. Remember, don’t make your house on it, it is a place to pass on!”

Nothing is forever – life is also not forever – CHANGE is constant. Except CHANGE everything else changes. The world endures but an hour – Life is moment to moment – and only a man who lives moment to moment is a man of awareness! He never plans, because what is there to plan – planning means you are thinking of future – you are not here – when the master is trying to tell you again and again to – BE HERE NOW.

A young man once asked – “Why it seems difficult to be in the moment – to be here now?”

And the master said “Because you are too much into your MIND. The whole purpose of meditation is to help you overcome your MIND – it is only when you overcome the MIND – that the Journey Beyond begins!”

Meditation starts flowering only when you start moving beyond MIND. And so to help you all understand the futility of MIND, today on my birthday I introduce the worldwide publication of my new book – “NO MIND – the Journey Beyond”

I am certain that those who have been meditating, who have been relating to my answers and posts – will certainly benefit from the insights of this new book. This book is indeed a milestone for me and sharing it on my birthday – with all of you – gives me more joy and bliss.

You all can avail a copy of this beautiful book through this link: https://www.amazon.in/dp/9389530512

It is said that man goes on planning and planning and planning and yet you never know what is going to happen the next moment!

Two years ago – on the same day, I was travelling through the countryside, on the way accidentally met an old man, we talked, had a good bonding, and then when it was time to say ‘Goodbye’ – he introduced himself as an ex-Congressman. The next day, he calls me – invited me to his house for a lunch, I tried to turn down his invitation – but when there is genuine love – how far I can go on rejecting! And so I went, what a beautiful family – then while having lunch, he says “ I was the head of Congress party for this whole district of Maharashtra – but then I could not stay for long – I got disinterested in all this Politics and then I just quit – and now I am no more a Politician. I just do what I can do for the poor, the needy – that keeps me happy.”

I said to him “ Saintly men and women cannot stay in Politics for long. Lokmanya Tilak in his Kesari newspaper had specifically mentioned in his own style the truth – and it was in simple words: “ POLITICS is NOT the job for SAINTS.” So you see – why you cannot stay for long in Politics.”

He hugged me, his heart moved, his eyes became wet – he insisted me to stay for a day or two, but I said – “Sir, My road is long, and I cannot wait…my journey continues…”

I left, but the gentleman still left a message for me on my Whatsapp. It was in just two words – “Thank you.”

Whole life can become a bliss of garden – even if the only prayer you say is ‘Thank You’!

It is not Happiness that brings Gratitude. It is GRATITUDE that brings happiness in our life! A man or a woman with a grateful heart is always a blessed person. Such a grateful person goes a long way – then no matter how life is – no matter how difficult life – such a person is always THANKFUL to God – because he realizes the fact that LIFE in itself is the greatest blessing!

It happened, that a young man was very upset. Nothing was happening in his life. And so he went to his master.

He said ” Master – nothing is happening in my life – you always say – celebrate life – but what is there to celebrate?”

The master laughed – a loud belly laugh and said “Mohan, come here, come closer….” And the master put his hand tightly on Mohan’s face – Mohan could not breath…..he struggled….. The master removed his hand….and Mohan took a deep breath……he felt better, his eyes twinkled as if life was back and Mohan smiled.

The master looked into Mohan’s eyes and said “Now you realize – every moment is a celebration – be grateful to God that you are alive – life is precious – and one who realizes this – *celebrates life* – no matter what!

Value LIFE – because LIFE is the greatest journey you will be ever on!

Our whole life is a gift of GOD. Let us celebrate, let us be THANKFUL, let us be grateful for all that we have – no matter how much! Then there is a certain fragrance to your life – then there is a song to it, a dance, a music!

So come, come you all – sit with your closed eyes, and meditate on the Holy Lord’s name – just the name of the Lord can take you all to many places – because the strength is in your FAITH – the beauty is in your FAITH, the possibility is in your FAITH!

Be thankful and keep walking with FAITH in your heart.

Today on my birthday – I thank each one of you – I know many of you are trying to reach me – but time is less, I am becoming old and life is short! And so through this answer I express my thanks and love to each one of you who have been emailing me – your love is reaching me, and your prayers are going to be answered soon – not because of me – but simply because of the beautiful heart that you all carry with you!

When you become more and more meditative – your heart becomes a portable paradise.

Let us continue to meditate – everyday minimum 20 minutes, morning and evening – without bothering what planet is doing to you – without bothering which house is what planet – without bothering about anything in this world – let there be 100% focus within your being – breath – breath in and breath out while you focus on the Lord’s name – the whole story of human life is between two actions – breath in and breath out – and one who has realized this – has realized the whole essence of this human life!

My blessing and love to you all. Life is short and active years of life are even shorter – so wake up and let the journey beyond Mind – began.

Love is possible, love can be experienced only when you all start moving beyond Mind. Only then there is a song to your life – only then there is a certain fragrance to your being – the whole purpose of this human life is to embark on the Journey beyond MIND – and the goal is LOVE.

Love has no reason. Love is unreasonable – and yet Love has all the answers to all your questions.

Let love become the ultimate path of your spiritual journey. And that is the only blessing and prayer that I can offer on my birthday – for you all.

Love.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

They don’t FAKE.

Saturn Moon native is – “REALISTIC” . This one word ‘Realistic’ captures the whole essence of Saturn Moon conjunction.

Evolved souls with this conjunction don’t give a damn to that hypocrisy of “Be Positive” – because they are REAL and when they see that something is not real – not good and is negative then how can they say ‘Be positive’? If a boss is trying to exploit his employee then how can you say to the employee – “Be positive” about your boss – when he or she can SEE clearly that the boss is taking advantage – exploiting him or her!

“The philosophy of positive thinking means being untruthful; it means being dishonest. It means seeing a certain thing and yet denying what you have seen; it means deceiving yourself and others.” – Osho

Be Positive means NOT to ignore that which is negative – and which is causing your harm.

Saturn Moon conjunction comes with a unique TATVA (essence) that focuses on the facts and figures – it is sign of Realism. They are beings who love to be in contact with Reality.

“Realism is in the work when idealism is in the soul, and it is only through idealism that we resume contact with reality.”
-Henri Bergson

Reality can be known – the truth can be realized only through the realms of spirituality and not by philosophy!

Spiritualism is real – Philosophy has absolutely nothing to do with reality!

Philosophy means mind, philosophy means thinking, philosophy means going away from yourself. Philosophy is the art of losing yourself in thoughts, becoming identified with dreams. And one who is living in dreams – one who is just doing the ‘guess work’ by using his head can never experience the TRUTH! A philosopher thinks about truth. A blind man thinks about light.

A realistic man – a spiritual being don’t have to THINK – he has the ‘eyes’, he don’t think about light, he can see it. Seeing is a totally different process; it is a byproduct of meditation.

Philosophy is something that intellectuals indulge in – Spirituality is something that intelligent people embrace. Understand the difference – intellectuality is limited to the HEAD – intellectuality has absolutely no imagination – intelligence is unlimited because it connected to the HEART! Only intelligent men and women has offered this world – great imaginations that have manifested into ‘phones’ and ‘cars’ and ‘air-planes’ and all those inventions that were ridiculed by so called intellectual people!

Intellectuality is a POOR SUBSTITUTE to INTELLIEGNCE – always remember this.

A philosopher is an intellectual being – a spiritual person is an intelligent being.

“I am very anti-philosophic and I avoid philosophy because it is playing with shadows, thoughts, speculation. And you can go on playing infinitely, ad infinitum, ad nauseam; there is no end to it. One word creates another word, one theory creates another theory, and you can go on and on and on. In five thousand years much philosophy has existed in the world, and to no purpose at all.” – Osho

Saturn breaks the illusions of MOON (monkey mind) – and so now you see a native who is or has the potential to become spiritual – because only a realistic person can become spiritual. A realistic person will never try to ESCAPE from the reality of his life – which a philosopher always does! Because a philosopher is trapped in his mind – he indeed is a slave of his mind!

“The mind is a great philosopher. And life is not a philosophy, life is a reality. And philosophy is an escape from reality; philosophy means thinking.
Life is – there is no question of thought.”
-OSHO

Saturn – Facts. Figures. Realistic. Practical. Pragmatic. And Karma centric – man who focuses on actual action and not just imagination!

Moon – Mind, Thoughts, Illusions

Saturn is repressive by nature. Moon is expressive by nature! It is the coming of two contrast energies – (तत्त्व) – Tatva!

Native keeps his thoughts to himself. Many times this becomes a great hurdle especially in matters of LOVE – because the boy loves the girl – but CANNOT express – goes on repressing his feelings – goes on repressing his LOVE until one day the girl goes with some other boy – leaving the repressed Saturn Moon native in a great pain which ultimately leads him into madness – he becomes mad!

“Repression means you are forcing your life energies into the unconscious, throwing them into the basement of your being. There they will go on growing, there they will go on boiling and sooner or later the explosion. That’s why so many people go mad. MADNESS IS THE OUTCOME OF REPRESSION. That’s why so many people are mentally ill –even if not mad, mentally disturbed — all over the world. In America they say that out of four, three persons are mentally disturbed. And don’t think that is so only for America; the only difference between America and other countries is that America has the latest data, that’s all.” – Osho

Repression is Suicide. Expression is Life.

You don’t know exactly what this native is thinking – you don’t know – you don’t have any idea of what this native thinks about you or about a certain matter or a political issue!

Did I say politics? – Then you must know that Saturn Moon natives do well in politics – because in Politics – SECRECY – maintaining confidentiality – efficiently keeping secrets of others is very necessary!

Saturn loves Politics. In fact only a man – only a woman who has STRONG SATURN can really succeed in Politics! Because Saturn brings PATIENCE – and when you are in political life – when you are in politics you need to have the QUALITY of Being Patient – and WAITING for the RIGHT TIME to make the move – to strike!

Saturn loves plotting – scheming – intriguing – and so when MOON (mind) is with Saturn – imagine how ‘political’ the person will be! Always be aware of a SATURN MOON native – they remain silent but their silence is because they are waiting for the right time – to strike back – to make the chek-mate move!

Such men and women are required – because every country needs a good politician who makes the right moves at the right time – and does all this for the larger interest of HIS people – HIS nation!

Always remember – NO PERSON – is useless in this world. And NO PERSON is BAD in this world. If the BAD is used to save the GOOD – then does the BAD remains BAD?

“You cannot create electricity with only the positive pole, you will need the negative pole too. Only with both the negative and the positive pole can you create electricity. Is the negative absolutely negative? It is complementary, so it is not against positive.” – Osho

To save you from a ruthless enemy – you need someone ruthless! Someone who can pull the trigger of the revolver – someone who can use the sword – someone who can go on the battlefield and fight for you OR someone who is CUNNING POLITICIAN who can safeguard the interest of his people by make the right decisions!

So always remember – a THORN is also useful – because to remove a THORN – many times you need a THORN!

Saturn Moon conjunction person may appear as THORNY – but if such a person gets the proper environment – then he can rise to the occasion! A plotter, schemer is gets into politics then these ‘negative qualities’ can actually become ASSET for him or her to succeed in politics!

A HACKER is considered as bad but the same HACKER when starts working with POLICE – CYBER CRIME CELL – then he becomes a great ASSET for the POLICE! You see – it all depends on which SOIL (Environment) the SEED (conjunction) falls.

Saturn Moon conjunction (seed) falling in the appropriate Ascendant Angle can produce:

A good politician
A good preacher
A good Yogi
A good administrator
A good businessman

Saturn Moon conjunction works well for those Ascendant signs that withheld Saturn and Moon as Yoga karaka Planets

Libra Ascendant, Virgo Ascendant, Pisces Ascendant, Aries Ascendant, Scorpio Ascendant, Taurus Ascendant – for these six Ascendants – Moon Saturn Conjunction works well – becomes constructive in nature.

Swami Vivekananda had Saturn Moon conjunction in Virgo Sign.

Understand the fact that SATURN MOON brings BOREDOM – native feels bored often in his life but you all have to understand the REASON for the BOREDOM – to a common soul – BOREDOM comes because he has known all that is on the outside world – and now he doesn’t know what else to do.

But to an EVOLVED SOUL – BOREDOME comes in the state of UDASIN उदासी!

What is the state of उदासी – UDASIN?

“The true meaning of UDASIN is UDA ASIN – one who has settled down within. UPVAS means one who has started coming closer to his SELF. But UDASIN is one who has settled within! UPVAS is therefore a way towards reaching the stage of UDASIN. If you are being closer to yourself than that is UPVAS and if you are totally settled within than that is the state of UDASIN. UDASIN is a man who has settled at the center of his consciousness – and when you are settled within – when you have found your peace within then all those material things on the outside becoming boring.” – Osho

Swami Vivekananda or any other great YOGI (evolved soul) with SATURN MOON conjunction therefore remains in the state of UDASIN – उदासी!

Today – in the divine holy town of SHANISHINGNAPUR (near Ahmednagar, Maharashtra) -rests the Samadhi of one such great उदासी Baba! It is said that your visit to Shani Shingnapur completes ONLY when you visit the SAMADHI MANDIR of उदासी Baba (Udasin Baba)!

This state of UDASIN उदासी – is the the state of SHANI – Lord Saturn! I prostrate before the great divine BIRTH PLACE of LORD SATURN – the place known as SHANI SHINGNAPUR – near Ahmednagar!

This is the real photo of Shani Shingnapur Lord Saturn Mandir – it is said that the doors of every house in this town is never locked – not even in the nights because this is the BIRTHPLACE OF LORD SATURN and so nobody could dare to loot or do anything wrong in Saturn’s homeland!

I have a wish – that someday I too would get an opportunity to visit this birthplace of Shani Dev – Shani Shingnapur – a miraculous town – the Mecca of Lord Saturn! Interestingly – this divine place is near to Shirdi! You see – it is all connected – it is all LinkedIn!

The UDASIN baba whose Samadhi Mandir is present in this divine place has a beautiful story to it….

It happened – there was a young boy, must be 17. He had many dreams, many ambitions – but one day he fell sick and then he was stuck. He started suffering from skin diseases – his hands, his legs – many rashes started appearing – the whole village abandoned him – those were the old days – people were very conservative and narrow minded. They forced him to leave his home, his village and then one night when the whole village was sleeping – the young boy left his village – his whole body was burning with the skin disease – but he kept walking until he reached the sacred town of SHANI SHINGNAPUR!

He started worshipping Lord Saturn. He started meditating on LORD SATURN’s holy name – and whatsoever people would offer him – he would survive on that. And as time passed by – slowly he started recovering – he then started sharing the GREATNESS (MAHIMA) of SHANI DEV (LORD STAURN) – he would go around the town and encourage people to read SHANI MAHATMYA book – he would encourage people to meditate on Lord Saturn’s name – he would show them the miracle – that how his hands and legs were cured just by worshiping Lord Saturn. Days passed and when he was totally cured – he decided to go back to his home – his village!

But Lord Saturn (SHANI DEV) had some different plans for the young man. The night before he was about to leave – Lord Saturn appeared in his dream and said “ Baccha (son) why are you leaving? You should stay here and should continue to spread my message – you should continue to encourage people to walk on the path of devotion, path of love.”

The young man opened his eyes and tears started flowing through his eyes – he got up and bowed before the idol of Lord Saturn – he was touched by the vision that he had in his dream – he could not believe that Lord Saturn had appeared before him to stop him from leaving Shani Shingnapur. From that day – the young man always remained in the town of Shani Shingnapur and he attained many miraculous powers with which he healed many – when he died, his samadhi mandir was build near Shani Mandir!

When he was alive – and serving the poor, healing the diseased men and women – people started addressing him as UDASI BABA!

Why the name UDASI? Because he had absolutely NO AMBITION to attain any material things or pleasures – He used to survive on whatever people would offer – and by chance if some wealthy person would offer more then all of that he would simply donate at Lord Shani’s feet!

UDASI – a beautiful word with a very deep meaning – especially from spiritual perspective!

Always remember – every CONJUNCTION – manifests based on the SOIL (environment) – based on the maturity of the SOUL.

SATURN MOON – SPIRITUAL side can gives birth to someone as beautiful and as spiritual as Swami Vivekananda and Udasi Baba.

SATURN MOON – Negative side can give birth to a repressive depressed child who is bullied by others.

SATURN MOON – Positive side can give birth to seasoned politicians like Sharad Pawar. Sharad Pawar has Saturn MOON conjunction but this conjunction is blessed by the presence of Jupiter in the sign of Aries. He has Saturn Moon in Aries along with Jupiter.

Sharad Pawar is one of the most experienced seasoned politician who has been Defense Minister & Agriculture Minister as well as chief minister of Maharashtra. PM Narendra Modi praises Sharad Pawar in the most generous way possible:

“Whenever the UPA (United Progressive Alliance) government used to block schemes and projects related to Gujarat, as the chief minister I used to always seek help from Sharad Pawar and…he used to help me sort out my issues with the central government,” : PM Narendra Modi.

Sharad Pawar was agriculture minister during the UPA government’s tenure between 2004 and 2014.

Saturn Moon gives you a perfect visionary leadership provided the whole setup of the birth chart is suitable to its growth.

“I keep talking with Pawar at least twice or thrice a month and we exchange notes on various issues faced by the country. We need to use Sharad Pawar’s more than five decades (of) experience in the public life.” – PM Narendra Modi

President of United States – Jimmy Carter also has Saturn Moon conjunction – a great statesman – a great politician! As mentioned above – Saturn Moon conjunction natives DON’T FAKE – they say what they believe is the truth. In a rare interview – Jimmy Carter (Saturn Moon native) shares the reality in regards to the ‘fake media news channels’ that were so hard on Trump.

“I think the media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I’ve known about. I think they feel free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged and everything else without hesitation. I think that President Trump has been under a stricter spotlight than his predecessors.” – Jimmy Carter (President of United States from 1976-1980)

The take away is – that Saturn Moon conjunction cannot tolerate FAKE people, FAKE news channels – news channels and journalist who claim to be impartial but run their ‘news channel’ at the behest of political parties!

Saturn and Moon are enemies – you know why?

Because REAL and FAKE have always been enemies!

Saturn (actual happening) is REAL. Moon (MIND) is make believe!

A man or a woman living under the influence of the MOON (MIND) is always living in a dream world – a world that has NOTHING to do with the actual reality (Saturn)!

Now depending on the strength of Saturn and the strength of Moon – we have to see who has the final say.

On a very higher level – if we observe then it is the MOON (MIND) that afflicts SATURN! Because elusive mind (Moon) distorts the ‘judgement’ of pragmatic Saturn!

Many times the ‘son’ proves to be an utterly ignorant being – the father (Saturn) wants to punish his son so that he comes back to his senses. But the mother (Moon) comes in between and always pampers and prevents her son from his father’s wrath and also tries to manipulate the father’s perspective so that her son gets his way! You see – this is how MOON distorts the Saturn’s sense of judgement – and end result is that the son gets spoiled. 90% of Sons and Daughters are spoiled by MOTHERS and NOT by FATHERS – because Fathers are realistic while the MOTHERS (Moon) are NOT!

Saturn Moon conjunction native are seekers of TRUTH – they speak the TRUTH – they never fear of speaking the TRUTH!

Reminds me of a beautiful story – the story of a boy and his name was Satyakam and he used to play with the King’s son – but a day came when the King’s son said “ From next month – I will be no more available to you because I am going to the great Sage Gautama and I will be learning under HIS guidance.”

Satyakam was a poor boy – he had never seen his father – he had always known his mother – she was his everything – mother and father – both! And so Satyakam went to his mother and said “ Mother – I also want to go and learn under the guidance of the great Sage Gautama.”

Satyakam’s mother was a very wise woman – she was poor but wisdom never comes asking whether you are rich or poor! Her name was Jabala. And so Jabala said “ Satyakam – Sage Gautama is a great teacher – a great scholar but the first question he will ask you is “Who is your father? What is your family name?”

Satyakam was a very inncoent boy – looking into his mother’s eyes he said “ You tell me who is my father – and I will tell Sage Gautama.”

Jabala said “ I don’t know. In my youth when I went about a great deal as a maidservant I conceived you. I don’t know who is your father – because I had to go through several relations. I do not know who is your father. I am Jabala and you are Satyakam, so call yourself Satyakam Jabal.”

The boy agreed and then after several days of journey he reached the hermitage of Sage Gautama.

He bowed before Sage Gautama and said “ Please accept me as your disciple – O master Gautama.”

Sage Gautama was touched by this young boy – his innocence – his aura – his soft voice….

Sage Gautama said “ I will accept you but first tell me who is your father – what is your family name?”

Satyakam again bowed and said “ “I asked my mother what my family name was, and she answered, ‘I don’t know. In my youth when I went about a great deal as a maidservant and then I conceived you. I do not know who is your father. I am Jabala and you are Satyakam, so call yourself Satyakam Jabal.’ Sir, I am therefore Satyakam Jabal.”

Sage Gautama got up and rushed towards Satyakam and gave him a hug.

Sage Gautama said ““None but a true brahmin, a true seeker of truth, would have spoken thus. You have not swerved from the truth, my dear. I will teach you that supreme knowledge.”

TRUTH is REWARDED. Saturn Moon conjunction has all the potential to stand for the TRUTH – even though it may disturb you – it may cause a certain restlessness to you.

We need SATURN MOON people because this world is filled with majority of FAKE people – and that is one of the many reasons that TRUTH is only experienced by few – because TRUTHFUL are very few – very very few!

These people love facts, figures, because Saturn is more interested in facts – that is why the seers have addressed Saturn as JUDGE – JUDGE gives his ORDER only based on FACTS and not emotions and feelings!

Moon distorting Saturn – can affect Saturn’s good qualities of being impartial and judging without any prejudice. Moon Saturn conjunction in Cancer is not good – Saturn is spoiled – simply spoiled and all that good which was expected from this conjunction goes for a toss!

Saturn draining out Moon – too much is always bad. And so when Saturn Moon falls in Capricorn or Aquarius the it gives TOO MUCH strength to Saturn – which makes the native insensitive and too dry – too analytical – and unromantic by nature!

So moderate signs – (apart from Cancer and Capricorn/Aquarius) – are good for this conjunctions.

Since the subject is of being truthful (SATURN MOON) – it reminds me of KARNA – the great warrior!

Remember the incident when Karna cheated Sage Parshuram? Sage Parshuram was the incarnation of Lord Vishnu. He had defeated all Kshatriya Kings – and he had ONE RULE – that whosoever wants to learn under his guidance – whosoever wants to be become his disciple – must be a BRAHMIN!

And Karna was perfectly aware of this condition – but just to attain knowledge – just to seek the great wisdom of Sage Parshuram – he lied to Sage Parshuram – when Parshuram asked “Who are you – what is your background – tell me your caste.”

Karna answered “ My caste is Brahmin. I am a Brahmin and I have come to become your student. Please accept me in your hermitage.”

Sage Parshuram accepted Karna but he was doubtful. And so one day he decided to test if Karna is really a Brahmin. He said to Karna – “I will sleep my keeping my head on your lap. I am tired so just be sure that nobody disturbs my sleep.”

Karna was very happy – Sage Parshuram softly placed his head on Karna’s lap and fell asleep.

But can the master ever fell asleep? It was just a make believe. Then by his miraculous powers – Sage Parshuram created a dangerous Scorpio – while he remained asleep.

Here Karna was seated – trying to make sure that nobody disturb Sage Parshuram – when suddenly the Scorpio (created by Sage Parshuram) appeared on Karna’s lap – and the Scorpio started sucking blood – imagine how painful it must have been for Karna to tolerate such an attack – but he did not move – because moving his lap would disturb the master – Sage Parshuram!

After a while Sage Parshuram opened his eyes and he could see blood flowing from Karna’s lap — Sage Parshuram got up and asked Karna “ Tell me WHO YOU ARE? WHAT IS YOUR CASTE?

Karna said “ I am Brahmin – Master.”

Sage Parshuram was very angry – he said “ You are lying – you cannot be a BRAHMIN because a BRAHMIN cannot have such level of TOLERANCE that you have shown – the Scorpio was sucking blood from your thigh and yet you made no noise – NO BRAHMIN in this world can show such TOLERANCE – such BRAVERY – such GREATNESS – you are NOT BRAHMIN – you are a KSHATRIYA.”

Karna realized his mistake – he said “ I am SORRY master – but I was not willing to learn from anybody else but only from you and since you teach only to BRAHMINS – I had to lie – I had to say that I am Brahmin but in reality I am not a Brahmin – but a Kshatriya.”

And then Sage Parshuram CURSED KARNA – that the knowledge that you have gained through me by lying to me will be of no use to you when you will need it because at that moment you will forgot all that you have learned under me. Now go.”

“Parshuram
Curse to Karna”

And it is said that this became the reason for Karna’s death – because while fighting the greatest battle of Mahabharata against Arjuna – he forgot the knowledge he had gained – his chariot’s wheel got stuck and at that moment – Lord Krishna said to Arjuna “ Kill him – this is the moment – shoot your arrow and kill Karna.”

And Arjuna shoots – that is when one of the greatest warrior – Karna is killed – one lie leads him to defeat!

TRUTH is the key to success. LIE is the reason for failure!

“THE TRUTH DOESN’T COST ANYTHING, BUT A LIE COULD COST YOU EVERYTHING “-KUSHANDWIZDOM.

Saturn Moon conjunction is all for TRUTH – if the conjunction gets support from other planets then the native speaks the TRUTH – if the support is not available even then the native KNOWS the TRUTH but certain selfish motives prevents him from saying the truth or acknowledging the truth.

Saturn Moon natives do well in administrative jobs – police duties – CID, CBI – because Saturn loves the system – and any government administration is indeed an established SYSTEM! And the native generally follows the SYSTEM – he is NOT a rebel kind of person – he will not try to change the system – in fact he loves to FOLLOW the system and that is what he or she does – they remain sincere to the SYSTEM! In fact Saturn Moon natives not only follow the established system but also try to find loop-holes within the SYSTEM – their passion and desire is to strengthen the system by introducing certain changes to the system.

“Eighty-five percent of the reasons for failure are deficiencies in the systems and process rather than the employee. The role of management is to change the process rather than badgering individuals to do better.
-W. Edwards Deming”

Judgement is good – and so the native can utilize the resources effectively – because he or she understands who fits where?

“Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid”
-Albert Einstein

Overall Saturn Moon on a positive note is indeed a conjunction that brings a certain depth of understanding to the natives! In fact many of my followers and readers must be having Saturn Moon or Saturn Jupiter conjunction – because both bring depth of understanding – which is significant for an individual to progress on his or her spiritual journey!

Someone as beautiful as Swami Vivekananda – is the ultimate highest and finest evolved example of Saturn Moon Conjuction! When the conjunction falls in the ‘SOIL’ of an evolved soul – then this conjunction is NOT interested in doing better than others – but rather is interested in doing better for others!

मैं ‘किसी से बेहतर करूं क्या फर्क पड़ता है….! मैं ‘किसी का बेहतर करूं बहुत फर्क पड़ता है
“I do better than someone else – what difference does that make! I do better for someone – that indeed makes a great difference” – Osho

My message to all Saturn Moon conjunction natives – irrespective of what ‘SOIL” (environment) is – you should take efforts to turn inwards – you should learn to Let Go – and you should try to adjust to CHANGE – remain OPEN to change – because except change everything else changes – life is a flux – a river – it continues to flow – nothing remains the same – neither the weather – nor the times – if you are down – then that is a sign that soon you are going to rise in life – because that is how life is – UP and DOWN – Morning and Night – Warm and Cold. It is these CONTRASTS that keep us alive – remember this – it is these HIGH phase and LOW phase keeps us going – makes us stronger – more matured – more evolved as a person!

“Ups and Downs in life are very important to keepus going, Because a straight line even in an ECG means we are not alive.”
-Ratan Tata

SO never get depressed and never repress your feeling – because as they say – Repression is Suicide, Expression is Life!

Stop repressing your feelings and start expressing yourself – that is the most beautiful way of being yourself!

“Express your uniqueness in whatsoever you do. Express your individuality. Let existence be proud of you. Life will not be felt like a drag; it will become a fragrance.” – Osho

When you love someone – express your feelings to that person.

When you hate someone – express your feelings to that person.

When you want to laugh – laugh to your heart’s content.

AND…..when you want to cry – when you cannot control your tears – then let those tears flow through your eyes – because only a NATURAL person can cry – only a man who is following his heart can cry to his heart’s content and GOD loves such a person – Master loves such a person because a heartless man can never cry – only the most beautiful person – the person who follows his heart – the person who has a pure heart – can cry and that ‘cry’ always touch the skies – that is how God comes – when your eyes become wet – when your heart starts beating with LOVE & DEVOTION!

There are moments when the inexpressible can be expressed only through your tears!

Open up – don’t remain a closed person – because God never comes to a person who remains closed, repressed. God comes only to that man who declares to the skies his reality – without being ashamed – without thinking of who will say what….

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

Always remember – even Jesus had haters, and even Krishna had haters and even Buddha had haters – haters are always there – but our focus should NOT be on those who hate us – but on those who LOVE us! And so to all Saturn Moon conjunction natives – live like a lion – let the great roar arise in your heart – the roar of freedom – total freedom!

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

It is very important that YOU are HAPPY – only then — then the fragrance of your HAPPINESS can spread to the farthest shores of this planet – only then can you bring HAPPINESS to every human being who comes in your contact – only then there is every possibility for you to enjoy this human life to the fullest.

It is important that first YOU are HAPPY. And when I say – YOU – it is not just for the questioner but for all my readers, followers and fellow travelers.

HAPPINESS should spring within you – there is absolutely NO NEED to take any efforts to make others happy – But who wants to listen?

The whole world is trying to do this – they all are trying to make others happy—trying to be happy, and this is all but ‘pretending’ – in reality nobody is happy!

Because happiness cannot be found on the outside – but people are seeking happiness on the outside—if somebody appreciates you – you become happy . If somebody gifts you – you become happy. If somebody treats you well—you become happy. You see – the WHOLE DEPENDENCY is on the OTHER person – on the OUTSIDE FACTORS – for you to remain happy—to be happy and that is the whole tragedy of this human life – that you always are bend on finding happiness through somebody—but never WITHIN!

The urge of the common man is to MAKE OTHERS HAPPY – so that they would get the necessary attention.

Why you want to make others happy? Be it God, Planet, Human being or animals – because you believe that making others happy – you will be happy!

That never happens – and if it happens – you are just fooling yourself – because then you are becoming dependent on others – for your happiness and that is indeed the most unfortunate thing to happen.

What happens when you try to make somebody happy?

You start CHANGING to make them comfortable. You start dropping your individuality to accommodate and appease them. God would never want this to happen. Saturn would never want this to happen. But human beings believe that by appeasing – by offering ‘bribes’ – you can appease the God, the Lord, the Cosmic Judge – Lord Saturn.

When your whole focus is on appeasing others – you start losing yourself – you start chasing RESPECTABILITY – and in this madness you start losing your INDIVIDUALITY.

Respectability is slavery. Individuality is dignity. – Osho

Respectability is like a Glass piece. It is fragile. One mistake and your whole respectability can come crashing down – suddenly you may find yourself in the most undesired situation.

Individuality is REAL. You have been living your life – by being yourself. You have NEVER compromised to GAIN RESPECT – you have NEVER bothered to CHANGE yourself in order to APPEASE somebody or to make somebody happy. You just have been living your life – naturally – following your heart – following the intuitive voice within.

But the human world at large is doing the exact opposite – they are GIVING immense importance to PERSONALITY – to RESPECTABILITY – to all those rosy things that look perfect on the outside but have absolutely NO fragrance to it – NO liveliness to it – because it is all FAKE.

PERSONALITIES ARE FAKE. It is a MASK. The word PERSONA has come from the Greek word – persona. From persona comes the word ‘personality’ – it is the ‘face’ that you wear – it is NOT the real face.

Personality is NOT your real face – it is a mask that you wear and it is a mask that the society always wants you to ‘polish’ and ‘perfect’.

Personality is NOT individual, it is social. Society wants you to have personalities not individualities, because your individualities will create conflict. The society hides your individuality and gives a personality. Personality is a learned thing. When personality disappears, don’t be afraid you become AUTHENTIC – for the first time you become REAL, for the first time you attain to essence. That essence – in India has been called Atma, the soul. – Osho

WHEN YOU ARE TRYING TO MAKE OTHERS HAPPY – you remain no more REAL – you remain no more AUTHENTIC – you remain no more TRUTHFUL – and SATURN ALWAYS wants truthful men and women!

Saturn loves all truthful men and women. And so – always remember – the only way to get BLESSINGS of LORD SATURN – is by BEING REAL – BEING TRUTHFUL – BEING YOURSELF ~~~

SATURN is like the JUDGE. The JUDGE of the SUPREME COURT. HE simply observes the FACTS – HE simply observes – WHAT YOU ARE FROM WITHIN – whether you are REAL or FAKE – whether you are BEING YOURSELF or you are CHASING OTHERS – TRYING TO MAKING OTHERS HAPPY – TRYING TO APPEASE OTHERS – TRYING TO BRIBE OTHERS – whatever you ARE FROM WITHIN – whatever ACTS (KARMA) you execute – SATURN simply executes HIS orders accordingly – in the COURT OF SATURN – JUSTICE IS NEVER DENIED – it maybe DELAYED – but it is NEVER DENIED.

A good SATURN – a good MAN cannot do well in POLITICS – many times it happens – the leader is good – the man is good – intelligent – genius BUT still he struggles to get success in POLITICS!

Mohan asked “ Why? Why so?”

Because in POLITICS – Individuals don’t succeed. Because INDIVIDUALS (REAL BEINGS) are very straight – they will SAY as is – they will put the TRUTH forth – but people are NOT always comfortable to digest the TRUTH even though they want to know the TRUTH! In Politics – you need GREAT PERSONALITIES that appear APPEALING – even though you may be a great INDIVIDUAL – still you need a PERSONALITY to succeed in POLITICS – and who helps you to shape this PERSONALITY – this MASK?

RAHU.

Rahu is the perfect MASK – that every POLITICIAN needs – without the support of RAHU – you cannot succeed in POLITICS – you need a MASK – a great MASK – an appealing FACE – and that is what Abraham Lincoln was struggling with – when he was planning to fight the US Presidential elections…

Abraham Lincoln – a man with a clean shaved face and penetrating eyes – one of the greatest genius and intelligent man that the world had ever known – was on his way to fight the US Presidential Elections. But Abraham had a shortcoming. He was NOT at all a handsome man – he was also not an absolute WHITE man! His intelligence was GREAT – probably there must be no other man in the US who could level with his intelligence – he was a genius. But his personality was poor – just because of his face. In the context of the American standards – he was not a handsome man. And even though he had the confidence and all the qualities to WIN the Presidential Elections – he had to struggle with his appearance – that was one shortcoming – just one and he often wondered how to deal with it.

But something strange happened – it always happens with blessed souls…..

During the US Presidential election campaign – he had come to Westfield, New York and he was a great Orator – a large crowd was listening to his speech when a little girl noticed him, she was looking attentively at his face. This little girl became the angel of his life – she played a very significant role in helping him win the Presidential elections – if there is anybody who deserves the credit for Abraham Lincoln becoming the President of America – then it is the little girl….

When Abraham Lincoln was giving his speech – and what a speech it was – the little girl really liked his speech – his arguments. But what didn’t appear so appealing was HIS FACE. Women from their childhood days are always quick to notice the physical beauty or physical ugliness of a man – this little girl also noticed certain facial marks of Abraham Lincoln that were not looking great. After the speech – when Lincoln was available for a few minutes, the little girl goes to him and suggests that he should grow beard on his face – as that will give a much better look to his face and also will cover the spots on his face that are not so appealing.

Lincoln was a man of awareness. A man of awareness never lets in his Ego. He thinks over the suggestions shared. Lincoln didn’t ruled out her suggestion, in fact he gave a serious thought to it and started growing beard….and the beard gave him a totally NEW PERSONALITY – now you don’t see his pictures anywhere without beard – now you don’t see the ugliness (spots) anywhere on his face – now you find his face more appealing – and it is said that after that makeover – LINCOLN goes on to WIN the Presidential ELECTIONS – He Becomes the President of America. And Lincoln was such a beautiful person – a man of heart – that after winning and becoming the President – he remembers the little girl and her suggestion – and as a mark of gratitude – he writes a letter to the little girl – in his letter to that little girl – he writes:

“Your Suggestion Worked.”

A great man – an insightful man of great understanding – Abraham Lincoln.

And the little girl whose suggestion helped Lincoln win the elections- her name was Grace Greenwood Bedell.

After few months of becoming the President – Abraham Lincoln visits the same place where the little girl had suggested him to grow beard – and in that crowd when he talks about this little girl – suddenly a very old man comes walking – finding his way through the crowd – and along with him is the little girl – he comes and says to President Abraham Lincoln “ Mr. President -that gir – my daughter, her name is Grace….Grace Greenwood Bedell”

Listening to these words and finding the little girl standing before him – President Lincoln steps down and kisses the little girl – tears of gratitude rolling from his eyes – he says “Gracie…look look at my beard. I have been growing them for you.”

A beard of many months that had grown longer – touched the cheeks of that little girl – she smiled – her suggestion worked.

Today at the same place – Westfield, New York – a monument of this unique meeting between President Lincoln and Grace – the little girl, is instilled and this monument reminds us of the fact that at times – even simple small genuine suggestions – no matter from whom or from where it comes – it CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

Only if you have the heart of Lincoln and the awareness and readiness to LISTEN.

But there is also another side to this story – and that is the darker side.

And the darker side is this – that the world never recognizes the INNER BEING – even a highly intelligent man like Abraham Lincoln had to CHANGE HIS APPEARANCE – because PEOPLE LOOK ON THE OUTSIDE – the world is interested to look at your APPEARANCE – the world does NOT look into your inner being. That little girl – Grace – must be something, must be a great observer – because at that tender age she could realize this fact – that itself makes her a genius – in her autobiography – she writes that after the meeting at Westfield, New York – she never gets to meet Lincoln again – and that is understandable considering Lincoln’s schedule and the many social challenges, civil wars and many difficult socio-political situations that he had to overcome during his tenure.

In Politics, in Cinema, in Society – to succeed you always need a PERSONALITY.

That is the fact of this Material World – you can’t help. I can’t help. Even Lincoln could not help! He had to let the beard grow….!

But in the SPIRITUAL WORLD – in real spiritual life, PERSONALITIES need to be dropped – totally dropped. Because here – in this world – the spiritual man – the Yogi is ABSOLUTELY NOT INTERESTED or BOTHERED to MAKE OTHER HAPPY! HE is simply HAPPY BEING HIMSELF – in his bliss, in his peace, in his joy by turning inwards – engrossing deeply WITHIN…he is no more meditating – he is Meditation.

Such a man, such a Yogi has dropped his personality – the ‘mask’ is thrown away – dropped. The whole process of being able to DROP THE PERSONALITY (MASK) and experience the REAL FREEDOM of living your life – by Being YOURSELF is Meditation.

Dropping the mask and bringing out your original face is the whole alchemy of meditation. – Osho

A Real Man – a Real Woman – will never ever focus on making others happy – they are well aware of the fact that you CANNOT MAKE SATURN happy – that you cannot make any GOD or any PLANET happy. Such men of awareness – are consciously living their life – they KNOW that:

IF they RESPECT every WOMAN – the qualities of VENUS will naturally ENHANCE within their being. They will be blessed with a beautiful wife – a caring wife – a loving wife – a honest wife. A good marital life. A satisfying sexual union.

IF they RESPECT their MOTHER – the qualities of MOON will naturally ENHANCE within their being. They will receive more love, more caring, more nurturing from their mother and all motherly-figures that they may come in contact with.

IF they RESPECT their FATHER – the qualities of SUN will naturally ENHANCE within their being. Then if you are a woman – you will find a good husband – a good male friend – you will always get the required support from the MEN that you come across in your life.

IF they RESPECT and LIVE with RESPONSIBILITY – with AWARENESS – with TRUTHFULNESS – the qualities of SATURN will naturally ENHANCE

IF they RESPECT and CARE, and FEED animals, birds, ants – the qualities of KETU will naturally ENHANCE within their being – then they will get all the required support for their spiritual progress.

IF they RESPECT and CARE, FEED the downtrodden class people – the condemned people – the poor people – the highly exploited class of society who were called ‘untouchables’ by the so called intellectual class – if THEY SERVE these poor people selflessly – the qualities of RAHU will start tilting towards POSITIVISM – towards HIGHER QUALITY DESIRES – because one need to realize that DESIRES always remain – the question is whether the DESIRE is to have MORE SEXUAL PLEASURES, MORE MONEY, MORE POWER, MORE WEALTH, MORE STATUS – OR…..the desire has scaled up to higher altitudes and NOW the only DESIRE left is to MEDITATE – is to TURN INWARDS – is to LOOK WITHIN and SELF REALIZE how IDIOT I have been my whole life – is to laugh at your own foolishness and realize the RIGHT PATH forward!

It is ONLY when you start looking within – turning inwards – meditating – that you SELF REALIZE that the WAY IS NOT OUTWARD – the WAY IS INWARD – then you no more ask questions or think about MAKING OTHERS HAPPY – because the GODS, the LORDS, the PLANETS cannot be APPEASED – cannot be BRIBED – cannot be made HAPPY – they are NOT OUTSIDE YOU – they are WITHIN YOU – and so as I mentioned in the very beginning of this answer – that IF YOU CAN MAKE YOURSELF HAPPY – then it is ENOUGH – the rest will take of itself – the future will take care of itself!

But who wants to listen?

Religion has become a BUSINESS. Temples have become the Mecca of Businesses. Pundits have become Businessmen. MONEY has become IMPORTANT – VALUES, TRUTH, ETHICS, MORALITY have been pushed at the backseat – and they are watching – they are watching very closely -they know when TIME will come – Volcanoes will erupt, Pandemics will come – everything will happen – because GOD will never want all of these SHOPS to continue – you are free to do you business OUTSIDE the TEMPLE – but you certainly will not be allowed to do BUSINESS inside the TEMPLE – everything has a TIME – when the TIME will come – these TEMPLE SHOPS will be closed – and nobody could stop this from happening – GOD STEPS IN – when IGNORANCE BECOMES TOO MUCH.

Those Who Think They Can Get Away With Injustice Must Remember That God Does Not Sleep.

SATURN is one significant tool – ‘iron staff’ of GOD – that GOD hold this ‘iron staff’ in HIS hands. This ‘iron staff’ can be used to provide you SUPPORT or to give you a nice SHAKE UP. And GOD uses it to give a nice SHAKE UP – when there is injustice – when there is corruption – when there is discrimination on the NAME OF RELIGION, CASTE, and COLOR.

And those INDIVIDUALS – those LEADERS – those MEN of AWARENESS who are determined to FIGHT for the well being of the society – of those who have been denied justice – those who have been unfairly treated – are blessed by GOD – to such men and women – SATURN (the ‘iron staff’ of GOD) always SUPPORTS – always HELPS.

I know there is a God, and that He hates injustice and slavery. 1 see the storm coming, and I know that his hand is in it. If He has a place and work for me – and I think He has – I believe I am ready. -Abraham Lincoln

I AM READY.

How significant are these three words – ‘I AM READY’

READY to FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICE.
READY to FIGHT AGAINST DISCRIMINATION.
READY to FIGHT AGAINST CORRUPTION.

IF you are also READY – if each one of you is also READY to FIGHT AGAINST INJUSTICE, DISCRIMINATION, CORRUPTION – then ONLY then SATURN is WITH YOU. So the question is not about making Saturn happy – the real QUESTION is WHETHER each one of you is WILLING to WALK on the PATH OF JUSTICE, EQUALITY, BROTHERHOOD, HONESTY – if you are, then you don’t have to worry – you absolutely don’t have to bother about making SATURN happy – SATURN is WITH YOU – and will be with you as long as you continue your ‘journey’ with HIS values instilled in your HEART.

Values are of two types: one that is imposed upon you from the outside and the other is the VALUE that ARISES in your own being.

Imposed values make your life more miserable than otherwise. When you live your life by following VALUES THAT ARE IMPOSED ON YOU FROM THE OUTSIDE – you simply become ‘Artificial being’ – you miss the beauty of living by being yourself – by being NATURAL! Imposed Values try to differentiate you from animals – try to make you feel superior than animals – BUT IN REALITY – you fall below the level of animals – because at least animals are NATURAL – But you are NOT. Animals have no imposed values – they live naturally – they are better than those who live life with imposed values from the outside!

Values that ARISE within you are GREAT TRANSFORMING ENERGIES – that can simply bring out the BEST WITHIN YOU – can simply help you explore the full potential of your being.

SATURN recognizes such VALUES – VALUES that ARISE WITHIN YOU – through your OWN SELF REALIZATION and it is beautiful – it is simply beautiful – self realizing VALUES by turning inwards – is indeed a great transforming phase of life! Listening to your inner voice is indeed the beginning of real life – the spiritual life – the blissful life!

Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice.

There are millions of people around you – around each one of you. And the majority of it is a SLAVE of their MIND. And the MIND is a Monkey. Now when you take other’s opinion about you – seriously, you are also becoming like them. Because they are following their mind and you are also letting your MIND do the dance – dance of thoughts – many many thoughts and in the whole process you start losing your SELF – the distance starts growing and a time comes in your life when you feel lost – totally lost!

This can change – only if you STOP paying attention to those who are still to know themselves.

Nobody can tell you – WHO YOU ARE – WHAT YOU ARE – as accurately – as you yourself Can! So STOP looking outside for KNOWING WHO YOU ARE – STOP looking outside to get your INTRODUCTION – you have to INTRODUCE yourself – and that is possible only when you START TURNING INWARDS!

Many of you may be wondering – that this man is again and again and again is saying the same thing – Meditate. But that is what all the scriptures and all the divine masters have been repeating AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN……

Mohan asked one day – “Why so? Why again and again the same MESSAGE is shared – why?”

And the answer is that by reading again and again and again – some day – at some moment – that WORD of GOD – that MESSAGE of GOD will penetrate into your being – into your HEART and then the miracle will start happening – then the transformation – then the HEART will start vibrating – then at some point the eyes will become wet – and the day the tears of joy – the tears of self realization will start flowing……life will also start flowing on the right direction – then there will be a song to it – then there will be a dance – then life will no more be a misery – problems may continue to exist – miseries may continue to engulf your life – but NOTHING can DISTURB you – NOTHING can move you – you remain UNMOVED – you remain ENGROSSED in HIS holy Name – in deep meditation – then even though you are walking in the busiest market – your meditation remains – your peace remains – your joy remains – it is all WITHIN and that which is WITHIN – cannot be taken away from you – nobody should and nobody can.

When you own your breath, nobody can steal your peace.

The first kind of imposed value is just a hypocrisy. It is a strategy to make you believe that you have transcended the animals; but in fact you have even fallen below the animals. The animals are at least natural; you are NOT even natural. Your values distort your nature, distort your simplicity, distort your innocence – but they give you a false notion that you are a MAN. The second type of values are the authentic values. But for them you have to avoid any kind of imposition from the outside, you have to allow your own inner being – you have to let the VOICE WITHIN YOU speak – and that is possible only WHEN YOU LEARN TO QUIET the MIND.

Someone is becoming somebody to MAKE OTHERS HAPPY – and that is the most unfortunate thing to happen with human life. It is sad that a person of Abraham Lincoln’s caliber also had to change – had to grow beard – had to modify his appearance to make others happy – to make himself appealing when in reality he had all the ‘ingredients’ within – but still he had to change his appearance because the WORLD does NOT look into your inner being.

When you ask about making other happy – you always have to COMPROMISE.

And when you COMPROMISE – you start losing on your INDIVIDUALITY.

In the futile effort to keep someone happy – Individuality is lost, and when there is no Individuality to your existence – life becomes miserable.

In offices, in families, in schools, in colleges – in every platform of your life – you all are trying to MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY. You feel that by making the OTHER PERSON – happy – you will become happy.

Trying to keep somebody happy – is making yourself vulnerable to that which is on the OUTSIDE. And the OUTSIDE is always changing – remember this. And I say this to all my readers, followers and fellow travelers- the factors on the Outside are always changing. If you all become a SLAVE to the OUTSIDE factors (people, situations, planets) – you will never find the happiness that you seek.

How long can you keep someone HAPPY?

And the moment you CANNOT – you start feeling miserable. So your happiness becomes totally dependent on the outside factors and that is how you go on missing life….you make yourself miserable.

I can understand the questioners mindset. It is not his fault- it is the fault of this fake society that goes on emphasizing that you have to make somebody happy – only then can you receive rewards in return.

Such a mindset is the mindset of a dealer. It is a deal – I make you happy, you make me happy.

But Buddha won’t relate to this mechanism. He simply won’t understand why you are taking so much effort to make him happy – that is absolutely not required.

The love of the master is always unconditional. Whether you make him happy or you make him unhappy – HIS love never changes a bit. You simply cannot make him happy and you cannot make him unhappy BECAUSE His happiness is not based on your actions or thoughts – His happiness is within – there is absolutely no dependency on the outside – whether you hurt him or love him – he remains engrossed WITHIN – there is no without.

If you come to doubt, I’ll give you every reason to doubt. If you come suspicious, l’ll give you every reason to be suspicious. BUT if you come seeking LOVE, I’ll show you more LOVE than you’ve ever known. – His Holiness Mahavatar Babaji

The LOVE of the LORD is beyond the power of expression. You simply cannot make the LORD happy and you simply cannot make the LORD unhappy – the divine LORD – the divine energies are way beyond the trivial state of happy and unhappy – language is really poor – words cannot suffice.

But people don’t get it. They ‘see’ God just the way they ‘see’ their boss or senior executive. They think that just the way they make their boss happy – they can make the LORD also happy – that never happens – LORD is LORD – HE is beyond the state of happiness and unhappiness – but human MIND cannot contain this TRUTH – it is possible that this answer may be banned, collapsed or even deleted but Truth has to be shared – someone out there can relate to it – someone out there can understand and benefit from it – and there is always someone out there – always.

By and by – it has to be self -realized that the first step towards happiness – is to make yourself happy. God comes only to a happy soul, Love comes only to a happy soul.

Love life, be more happy. God can come only to a happy soul. Only when you are utterly happy is there a possibility, otherwise not – because misery closes you, bliss opens you up. – Osho

How to be more happy? What is the source of happiness?

Authenticity.

One word – just one word – Authenticity! The more you are AUTHENTIC – REAL – YOURSELF – the more you have all the possibilities to experience happiness.

This Authenticity is the ESSENCE of your BEING to which we address as the SOUL – ATMA!

A spiritual man is authentic. A man who is on his way towards the BEYOND is authentic. He may not be liked by the society but rarely is he bothered about the LIKES and DISLIKES – he is simply engrossed within – he is simply happy to be!

To such an authentic man – BLISS is what matters and NOT happiness.

The more you become authentic – you move beyond the state of happiness – you start experiencing BLISS. In the state of BLISS – you move beyond the state of happiness and unhappiness – that is the state of Buddha – the authentic Yogi – that is the state of every divine Saint – they have moved beyond happiness and unhappiness and now what is left is BLISS – eternal bliss!

The way to move beyond happiness and unhappiness is the way of the Buddhas!

Bliss is possible only through – meditation – turning inwards, and find your way back ‘home’.

Meditation is painful in the beginning but it bestows immortal Bliss and supreme joy in the end. – Sivananda

In the end – at the very end of your life, my life, and every person who is reading this answer – what is it that you really can retain and take with you after this human life is over?

BLISS. PEACE. JOY.

And if one is unable to take this with him or her – then let me tell you and to all my followers, readers and fellow travelers – there is nobody as POOR as the person who cannot carry forward with him – the BLISS, the PEACE, the JOY! Such a man – no matter how much he has earned in his life – is the most unfortunate man – the most poor man than otherwise!

Always remember – the last moment of DEATH is very important. People always are interested to know the BIRTH CHART – but nobody is willing to focus on the DEATH CHART! Just like your BIRTH CHART is developed based on the planetary placements of that day and time – similarly DEATH CHART is also developed based on the day, time and place of your death! But the DEATH CHART is not seen by human beings – it is seen by the astral bodies who govern the whole cosmic cycle of birth and rebirth!

The very last moment of your life is extremely significant. The divine Saint Neem Karoli Baba mentions this in the most beautiful way – as always:

If you desire a mango at the moment of death, you’ll be born an insect. If even you desire the next breath you will take birth again. – Neem Karoli Baba

The BIRTH MOMENT decides the course of your journey in this birth. The DEATH MOMENT decides your journey beyond this birth. And so DEATH CHART is also as significant as the BIRTH CHART!

People have many fancy ideas about DEATH – as if after DEATH there is somebody waiting to welcome you – heavens and so on. It is all but a Myth – an illusion. In reality life is simple – death is also simple – this whole universe is simple – simplicity has it all!

The journey after DEATH – simply begins from the point where you LEFT this human body!

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

The evolution – the transformation – the maturity that you have gained – the level of consciousness that you have attained at the very last moment of your life – IS WHAT YOU CONTINUE WITH AFTER DEATH.

LIFE is therefore in continuation – whatever you are now is the continuation of what you have been so far and whatever you will be is again going to be continued from here-within!

The picture never ends – the story never ends – the cycle of birth and rebirths continues – taking many physical forms – the Universe is therefore Ancient and so are we all – Ancients!

The whole perspective should change – from focusing outward to turning inward. From making others happy – to finding your happiness within!

Happiness is your nature. It is not wrong to desire it. What is wrong is seeking it outside when it is inside. – Sri Ramana Maharshi

All that you seek – is within you. So come – come you all and meditate. No matter how much noise is on the outside – how much of FEAR of DEATH and DISEASES is on the outside – always remember the STORM will cool down only when it is DONE with its purpose. For time and ages – many diseases and many wars have happened – and it has ended only when it has TAKEN all those for which it had come! Nobody can stop the NATURAL DISASTERS – they come in time and they also go when it is time.

Never blame SATURN – for any disasters – because then you will have to blame Krishna too for not stopping the Mahabharata War! Nobody can stop the coming of the storm – when the time has come – neither could Krishna and nor could Saturn. Just like the birth and death of human beings – the world goes through destruction and construction – it is an ongoing process that goes on and on and on – there is no stopping – it keeps moving like a WHEEL!

Nothing therefore is forever – neither the good times nor the bad times. NOTHING LASTS FOREVER – happiness and unhappiness are two ends – and the life of human beings continue to revolve through these two ends – there is no man – no woman who has never been unhappy and there is no man and no woman who has always been happy! As much as there is happiness in one’s life – equal is also unhappiness in one’s life!

Sadness gives depth. Happiness gives height. Sadness gives roots. Happiness gives branches. Happiness is like a tree going into the sky, and sadness is like the roots going down into the womb of the earth. Both are needed, and the higher a tree goes, the deeper it goes, simultaneously. The bigger the tree, the bigger will be its roots. In fact, it is always in proportion. That’s its balance. – Osho

Balance is necessary – and it manifests only when you find balance within.

There is no such thing as work-life balance – it is all life. The balance has to be within you. – Sadhguru

This balance – comes when you meditate – when you spend some quality time with yourself – when you realize that Enough is Enough – now *is* the TIME to look within and make the most out of these life that is left – and nobody know how much of life is left! DEATH never comes with an appointment – it simply strikes at the most unknown – unexpected moment! And so instead of spending energy in making others happy – start spending your energy in making yourself happy – and the way to do it is by turning inwards!

If you want joy, you have to turn inward, because that is where it is generated. – Sadhguru

Turn inward. That is the message – the only message that if you can relate, you can transcend – you can experience joy – happiness, bliss in your life.

Once you are happy – once you are joyous – the thought of making others happy never arise. Then the glow of your happiness, the shine of your joy starts spreading all over those who come in your contact. Just the way when the pebble is dropped in the pond – the first ripple of joy appears and then it goes on spreading and creating multiple ripples of joy – spreading it to the farthest shores!

When you are happy – you can spread happiness. The focus should be – YOU. When YOU are total in whatsoever you do – you attain success! Saturn or God – or the benevolent divine master – nobody can make them happy and nobody can make them unhappy – they shower their blessing on you – only when you start turning inwards – when you start focusing within – when you start helping others – when you start transforming into a HUMAN BEING!

By physical form we all are human beings – but we should ask ourselves again and again – that whether we are truly human beings?

Your humanity is FAKE. Because when you become angry it is the ANIMAL within you that comes out and NOT the human being. – Osho

Anger cannot be controlled. Sexual urge cannot be controlled. Greed cannot be controlled. Bad habits cannot be controlled. Still the progress to human being has not happened in its totality – still this world and the ‘animal’ of two legs is far away from being human!

The whole essence of meditation is to help you all become human beings. To help you all overcome Anger – overcome sexual desires – overcome lust for power and money – the whole essence is to bring you to the FINEST STAGE OF HUMANITY – then the real life begins – then the real journey with GOD begins – then there is a certain depth to your existence.

Only a fine human being can evolve into a fine Yogi!

The journey is long – it has to begin at some stage of life – and once it begins – it should not stop, it should not halt – it should continue till the journey itself becomes the destination!

And when the journey becomes the destination – when you no more are bothered to REACH ANYWHERE but simply REJOICE in your journey WITH GOD – then – then the whole universe is available to you – then there is no looking back – and the ‘journey’ continues…..once you find joy ~ love ~ peace in the journey of your life – then the journey itself becomes the destination – and you are back ‘home’ – back to the source within!

Life is a journey, and if you fall in love with the journey, you will be in love forever. -Peter Hagerty

Love yourself. Then you can love others. Then you can find love in your life – and then the need to make others happy won’t arise – once you are ‘home’ – you have arrived and once you have arrived – once you have started living with consciousness – then the future takes care of itself – then like a beautiful ‘river’ – life keeps flowing……you meet the right men and women who resonate with you – leading to a wonderful communion that goes on enriching your life with wisdom and spreading your fragrance to the farthest shores of this planet! It all happens on its own – you just have to focus on the key – and the key is to turn inward and meditate.

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha! Jai Guru.

When you are standing – what is it that you can see more clearly, more effectively?

The one that is very close to you. The neighboring house next to you-you can see that house very clearly – your ‘Drishti’ falls on the house that is closer to you – with 100% accuracy – then as you extend your ‘Drishti’ (Aspect) – you see the house exact opposite you – but it is far than the one that is just next to you!

Similarly – Saturn’s 3rd Aspect or Drishti is more effective – then comes the 7th and then comes the 10th!

3rd Aspect – 100%

7th Aspect – 75%

10th Aspect – 25%

So you see – through these aspects, Saturn simply signifies the matters of life that are destined to be scaled down.

Saturn is Saturn – there is no partiality – people have crazy ideas about Saturn – that Saturn in Libra will be sweet than Saturn in Aries – the reality is something else. And the reality is – Saturn is Saturn – HE is here to do his job – just because of your Libra Saturn you will get favors from Saturn is imaginary – there is no partiality – you will be rewarded or punished as per the quality of your KARMA.

Aspects of Saturn are more significant than Saturn’s placement. A man or woman with second house Saturn – will not fall short of money but rather is burned out of all happiness derived through the mother – either the mother is absent or the house ownership is not seen – a person usually spends more years of life in a rented apartment – or is always shifting due to transfer orders and so on – so generally the 4th house matters suffer than the 2nd house where Saturn is placed. However, there are always variations considering other planet aspects to 4th house.

Saturn Mahadasha – Saturn Aspect – Saturn Transit – all these movements of Saturn – are neither good nor bad – they solely depend on the quality of your KARMA!

For instance – a man until his 40s – had immense pleasures of all kinds – you name it and he has done it – too much of sex, smoking, drinking, traveling across the globe – everything – was enjoyed – until his Saturn period begins – then in Saturn Mahadasha – lets say for him Saturn is the ruler of fifth and sixth – he was totally captured in the unending cycle of many health issues – even speculative ventures, investments went for a toss – because Saturn is retrograde – some relief – else this could have been worse. So SATURN simply triggers the results of your *accumulated* Karma – when SATURN MAHADASHA begins – remember you will be judged and the ‘sentence’ will be given based on whatever KARMA you have accumulated till this point of life. If the quality of Karma is good – you will be provided with all the positive results of Lord Saturn – if the quality of Karma is bad – you will be taken into ‘police custody’!

A woman had Taurus Moon and Taurus Ascendant – her Saturn was placed in the 4th house with RAHU – in complete conjunction. Many pundit and scholars told her that as soon as her Saturn Dasha starts – she will have a great life – all pleasures would be at her feet, she will have great happiness – and when she asked – “How come?” then all these pundits and astrologers told her “ because Saturn is yogakarak for Taurus ascendant – so just relax and be assured – you are in for a great time ahead.”

This woman was very happy to hear, she relaxed. And then after few months – her SATURN Mahadasha begin – and the first stroke was her job – she became jobless – her mother died, her daughter started creating many troubles for her – her life was in a total mess – she became very obsessed with accumulating properties – and in this obsession she ended with many wrong decisions and got stuck with some bad properties.

SATURN + RAHU – is a very evil conjunction – it is a perfect combination that shows you a perfect hypocrite! One who says something before you and does something else – behind your back. She will say she never cheats and she is the QUEEN of CHEATS! She will say she doesn’t know what is black magic – and she will be the one who is passionately indulged in doing black magic – behind your back! So such individuals are CURSED by many good – powerful – holy souls. Such women or men are deeply under the negative influence of RAHU – men and women with this conjunction are very bad at making good judgments – they often end up messing their own life and others life due to their immature, negative outlook towards life. When SATURN is eclipsed by RAHU – you have a split personality person – and such a person is also extremely secretive – he or she says something and does something – there is no synchronization in their character – they don’t walk the talk – and so their life is often filled with many miseries and problems.

You become miserable when there is no synchronization in what you say – what you do and what you feel!

And this is exactly what SATURN dislikes. When you are aware of what you are doing – the question of SIN never arise. What is SIN?

SIN is the absence of consciousness – you don’t know what you are doing – that is when SIN happens! Imagine a beautiful girl walking through the dark streets of Delhi – and she is extremely beautiful and you somehow are also walking down the same street – you are young – and you see her – now there are two possibilities – either you will start flirting with her or being a gentleman – you will help her by guiding her through the dangerous streets of Delhi – the first option is of ignorance – SIN – is going to happen. The second option is of consciousness – of awareness – GOOD – is going to happen. Now Saturn – the same Saturn – is going to punish the option number one and reward the one who has acted out of consciousness!

So this is how Saturn is – straight to the point. Saturn is conservative, Saturn believes in Parampara (tradition) Saturn loves the poor man and hates the rich man – simply because the rich never is bothered to serve the poor!

If you are rich, wealthy – and if you are serving the poor – then Saturn will love you – then Lazarus will laugh at you – but in a good sense! The Bible mentions a story of a poor man called Lazarus. It happened once that a very rich man died on the same day a beggar in the town also died. The name of the beggar was Lazarus. The rich man went directly to hell and Lazarus directly to heaven. The rich man looked up and saw Lazarus sitting near God, and he cried to heaven, ‘It seems that something has gone wrong. I should be there and this beggar Lazarus should be here!’

God laughed and he said, ‘Those who are last shall become the first, and those who are first shall become the last. You have enjoyed being first enough, now let Lazarus enjoy a little.’

And the rich man was feeling very hot — of course in hell you don’t have any air-conditioning yet — burning hot. He was feeling very thirsty and there was no water. So he again cried and said, ‘God, please at least send Lazarus with a little water, I am feeling very thirsty.’

And God said, ‘Lazarus was thirsty many times, nearly dying at your door, and you never gave him anything. He was dying, hungry at your door and there was a feast every day, and many were invited, but he was always chased away from the door by your servants because guests were coming, powerful guests, politicians, diplomats, rich men, and a beggar standing there would look awkward. Your servants chased him away and he was hungry, and the people who were invited were not hungry. You never looked at Lazarus. Now it is impossible.’

And that is what Lord Saturn says to all those arrogant, ignorant men – who are utterly selfish, mean and egoist – “You never looked at Lazarus, the poor beggar, that poor man who was standing at you door – for a glass of water, for a plate of rice – you chased him out – NOW – I am coming to bring you back to your sense – to ensure that ‘justice’ is granted.”

And this is how the LORD SATURN will also come to you and make your life difficult – if you remain ignorant towards the poor, the handicapped, the weak – then don’t say SATURN is bad – Saturn is not bad, it is you who are utterly foolish and ignorant – and SATURN is simply bringing you back to your sense, to your consciousness – through HIS Aspects – through HIS divine presence. Without Saturn – the world would have been a mess, it is only because of SATURN that people are righteous by nature. People are following a certain standard of ethics and principles. People are following a certain tradition and rituals. It is good that people are following good things because of Saturn – but this following is out of FEAR – FEAR OF SATURN – SHANI DEV! How beautiful it would be, how sweet it would be – if people follow the good, practice the good – not out of FEAR, but out of LOVE! Then there is an altogether different meaning to life – then life is no more a misery or a problem – but a song, a poem, a beautiful painting!

Let LOVE be the driving force for all that you do – and then Lord Saturn will bestow HIS infinite blessing upon you – then HE is no more your taskmaster but a genuine TRUE FRIEND – who wants you to understand life the way it *is* – to live in reality – SATURN is REALITY – and the more you live in reality the more you are in the good books of Lord SATURN. Jai Shanidev!

The only way to understand Saturn is through love, the only way to receive Lord Saturn’s blessings is by following love, truth, and kindness!

Be Kind. Be loving. Be understanding. If you have these wonderful qualities within you than and only than Saturn is your friend – a wonderful true friend!

Good question. Saturn is in itself – a very hard planet – hard in the sense – there is no mercy shown. He is the Judge – and Judge is not to be blamed for your misdoings – his job is simply to be fair and provide justice.

In Libra – Saturn is more relaxed. So Saturn in fifth house – will not delay a woman’s progeny – rather provide her with a child and make her more responsible for his or her upbringing! So you see – here the delay is replaced with responsibility – so the ill effects of an exalted Saturn is more and more responsibility in relation to the house it signify.

Bad Saturn is delays. Good Saturn is more responsibilities. So much that the native feels burdened! A woman had Saturn in 5th (Libra) – and she had Jupiter in 7th (Sagittarius) – so then what happened? She married at the age of 28 – she became pregnant at the age of 30 – and just after delivery of her first baby boy – she was forced to leave her house within 4 months! Later she was legally divorced – now tell me – isn’t the 5th house Saturn in Libra – made her a SINGLE-MOM! And only a Single-Mom knows how challenging is the responsibility on her shoulders! So basically person feels burdened – no mother would feel her child’s responsibility as a burden – but still as a human being – one does feel burdened!

So Saturn in Libra – is like a strict military officer at his favorite place! So he is not going to punish you or being too harsh as he would be when outside at some other place – but he is going to impart all his qualities upon you – he is disciplined – he will make you disciplined, he knows what is responsibility and so now he will make you realize what is responsibility! So you see – he is practical by nature so he will now make you practical by nature. So being in LIBRA – Saturn bestows all of his qualities that Saturn considers to be necessary for the souls/individual’s growth!

So if the person is ignorant (weak Jupiter) he may consider these qualities that Saturn wants you to experience – as evil or bad.

But someone who is living with consciousness – he or she would ‘evolve’ through the process of Saturn’s rigorous ‘sessions/phases’ – leading to a much matured person than he or she was!

Maturity is when you learn to live in the moment! A man of awareness lives his life moment-to-moment. He is not thinking of his PAST, and he is not worried about the FUTURE, he is simply happy to be – in this NOW moment!

Ignorant men cannot understand what is good and what is bad for them and so they end up labeling anything that brings them pain as ill-effect or evil – and they miss – they simply miss to realize that the pain, the hardship is not to cause them pain, but to bring them much closer to their ‘self’ consciousness!

But people are ignorant and so they simply don’t get it – they are lost due to their own ignorance!

Now the woman who was divorced had to bear the responsibility of bringing up her son – all by her own efforts – but slowly she reached to a stage where she became an independent woman! So you see – on the outer circumference – an ignorant person may label the affect of Saturn in Libra as ill-effect – but a conscious man – is perfectly aware that – this is the way of Saturn to help the native to ‘evolve’ and transform into a much better person – a much matured person. Libra Saturn is favorable to the native and so such a Saturn raise you to new heights – in life!

If the same Saturn had been of Aries in 5th – this woman would not have become pregnant so quickly and now instead of responsibility – this Aries Saturn frustrates her – because she rarely is able to conceive a child – so here the story changes 360 degree! Here Saturn has no interest to raise you in life – but rather is simply interested to give you more hardships and pain!

So Libra Saturn is in reality not a negative placement. You have to see where Jupiter is placed – where Rahu is placed – where Mars is placed – because these 3 planets rules the stars of Libra! The best place for Saturn is in the star of Jupiter (Vishakha) – here Saturn truly exalts and is so much happy that generally the native with Saturn in Vishaka is more luckier than guys with Saturn in Chitra or Swati!

Compared to all 3 stars or nakshatras – Saturn in Swati – gives a bit tough time then otherwise!

Ill-effect is felt – is experienced by those who rebel against Saturn – what is Saturn – Saturn is TRUTH. Judge favors only the TRUTH. And so if you are not following the TRUTH – if you are not being TRUTHFUL to yourself and others – then Libra Saturn also cannot help you.

Why people suffer at the hands of SATURN? And the answer is found in the quote of the divine spiritual master Sri Nisargdatta Maharaj:-

TRUTH liberates you. SATURN liberates you! But since people are not willing to follow the TRUTH – they suffer. And what is suffering? Suffering is mental – and not physical! Your mind suffers – but because you have become the mind – you too suffer!

“The nature of the MIND is to wander. YOU are NOT the mind.” – Bhagwan Ramana Maharshi

But people simply follow their mind. They become the slave of their mind and then what else can you expect than to suffer!

The message of Libra Saturn – is to become ‘real’ – is to help you realize – what needs to be dropped – and what needs to be embraced! Here Saturn cares for the native – he wants the native to find balance – balance is the word – the more he or she finds balance in life – the more is the happiness in life!

Any positive planet in 8th house – is not bad but rather good! When the KING of the universe – goes in the darkest place – what happens? The dark place is no more dark – it ‘lightens’ up! It is no more a graveyard – it has now become a meditative place. It is no more just a common mountain – it has transformed into ‘Mount Kailash’ – it has become special, it has become the ‘Abode of Shiva – the supreme consciousness’!

And so Jupiter in 8th house is a special blessing – it is in no way negative but very much positive! What is negative is the ‘Strict disciplinarian’ coming to the darkest place of your birth chart. Saturn in 8th house brings difficulties in life – but because the KING of Universe – Shri Guru (Jupiter) is also placed in 8th – you can survive the difficulties that Saturn brings in with this placement!

It bring inclination towards occultism – person wants to dig and get to the bottom of the subject – so in a way it is good placement for researchers, scientists, detectives, CID officers, CBI officers. If other aspects are supportive than it is also a good placement for having a disciplined spiritual life! Such a placement encourages the individual to stay fit and maintain his or body by being disciplined.

This placement – definitely gives a long life – provided Venus is placed in a positive house in a beneficial Nakshatra (star) . The best remedy is to visit Goddess Laxmi temple – every Friday – worship her – the name of the Lord has the power to make your life less of miseries and more of happiness! Such a man or woman should definitely worship the female deity – with utmost faith and love!

The greatest strength of those men who are learned and have self-realized is the willingness to forgive and the strength of love.

Aum.
