Combining 4.5.6 mukhi rudraksha beads is suicidal. 4 stands for Rahu. 5 stands for Mercury. Venus is 6. Never make such deadly combinations as that can impact you and your life in a negative way.

But who wants to listen? But this answer is specifically for all my close followers and readers – so that they don’t commit such a terrible mistake.

Now let me throw more light on Rudraksha in general.

First of all Rudraksha beads should NOT be wore by woman simply because they go through menstruation cycles. And since Rudraksha is a highly spiritual pious pure bead – the impure stage through which every woman goes through – is not suitable for wearing Rudraksha Bead.

But Mohan said “ I have seen some women Sanyasin wearing Rudraksha bead.”

I said “Mohan – those women are not ordinary woman. They are Sadhaks who do intense penance by chanting the name of the Holy Lord. They don’t go to discos or they don’t drink alcohol or they don’t smoke – or they don’t do sex – they are very pure and still if they are young then during their menstruation period they remove the rudraksha and then wear it when their ‘period’ (MC) is over.”

Now coming to the subject of Men – then Men don’t menstruate however Men may drink alcohol, may smoke, may follow a very impure lifestyle – filled with lust and sex. May appear as Saintly to the world but secretly may watch vulgur sexual videos – so to such Men – wearing Rudraksha is insulting Lord Shiva and becoming the target of His disgrace.

So my suggestion to all my readers and followers is:

WEAR RUDRAKSHA only if:

1. You are a celibate
2. You are non-alcoholic
3. You are pure by heart
4. You are devotional and following the path of righteousness
5. You are eating vegetarian food that is SATVIC – meaning it had no garlic and no onions.
6. Your lifestyle is very pious and you read the holy scriptures
7. You are a staunch Shiva devotee and you chant HIS holy mantra

If all of these above mentioned points are applicable to you then you should wear a RUDRAKSHA BEAD.

Else wearing any mukhi rudraksha bead makes NO DIFFERENCE and this is the TRUTH.

But nobody is going to understand this or realize this TRUTH because the MIND is a monkey and the society simply loves to make you a fool – the society would never want you to become wise.

“No society wants you to become wise: it is against the investment of all societies. If people are wise they cannot be exploited. If they are intelligent they cannot be subjugated, they cannot be forced in a mechanical life, to live like robots. They will assert their individuality. They will have the fragrance of rebellion around them.
In fact, a wise man is afire, alive, aflame. But he cannot sell his life, he cannot serve them. He would like rather to die than to be enslaved.”
-Osho

A wise man follows the voice of his heart – he is focused within – he is aware that GOD is not on the outside but within the depth of the heart!

One afternoon Mohan asked “ What is the significance of Rudraksha bead?”

I said “Mohan – Rudraksha is the essence of Lord Shiva. Just the way a disciple is the essence of the Guru – the Master – similarly in one small Rudraksha bead – the eternity (Shiva) dwells! How to express the greatness of Rudraksha bead – it is beyond the power of words!”

Mohan asked “ I read many books about different Mukhi’s of Rudraksha – what does that mean?”

I said “ The more MUKHIs the more it is focused on the outside. As the MUKHIs start becoming lesser and lesser – the spiritual progress is seen.”

Mohan asked “But on a typical Rudrakhsa tree – maximum beads are found to have 5 MUKHI.”

I smiled and said “Mohan – 5 Mukhi is the base of human life – PANCHA TATVA – this human body is made of Prithvi(Earth), Jal (Water), Agni (Fire), Vayu (Air) and Akash (Space) – 5 MUKHI represents these PANCHA TATVA.”

Mohan asked “The least MUKHI rudraksha is the ONE MUKHI Rudraksha – what is the significance of ONE MUKHI?

I said “Mohan as I had mentioned that the lesser the MUKHI – the greater is the SPIRITUAL SIGNIFICANCE. And the more the MUKHI – the greater is the MATERIAL SIGNIFICANCE. So ONE MUKHI is the epitome of spiritual progress – BUT such a ONE MUKHI manifests only for a truly spiritual being – someone who is a celibate – someone who has become a MONK – and most importantly is initiated by the master – the Guru.”

Mohan asked “But nowadays anybody who has lots of money – goes and buys ONE MUKHI.”

I laughed out loudly and said “Mohan – we are living in an ignorant world of men and women who think that they can buy spiritual progress by counting their money – let them do so – when they fail – when they start suffering – they realize their mistake – until then the mad rush continues. And then there are businessmen who want to make MONEY by creating all kind of FAKE stories about Rudrakhsha Mukhis – so all of these continues – the wise is always away from all of these – because HE never looks for knowledge inside the book – he looks WITHIN.

“The longest journey is the journey inwards. Of him who has chosen his destiny, Who has started upon his quest for the source of his being.”
-Dag Hammarskjold

Mohan was moved by my sharing – he hugged me – he said “I am touched by your sharing of such precious knowledge about Rudraksha – but now being a novice I want to know what kind of Rudraksha bead should one wear?”

I said “You want to know the TRUTH?”

Mohan said “Yes – always.”

I said “The Truth is that NO MAN and NO WOMAN should wear rudrakhsa bead simply because YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO FOLLOW THE LIFESTYLE that a rudraksha demands – that Lord Shiva demands! I have already mentioned how the lifetsyle should be and if you closely observe then the lifestyle I shared matches with the lifestyle of RISHIS and SAGES! And that is why during the old days – only the Sages, the Brahmins (one who has renunciate), and Sadhus used to wear Rudraksha beads. If by chance Kshatriyas had Rudraksha bead on their bodies – then they would strictly follow the guidelines of wear the Rudraksha beads which is highly of ascetic nature!”

Mohan asked “So then what is the alternative?”

I said “The alternative is simple. In fact life is simple, God is simple, Love is simple. And so the alternative is that you keep the rudraksha bead inside your Pooja-Ghar (place of worship) and every day do abhishek on the bead using cow’s cold milk and then with pure rose water. That’s all! By worshipping RUDRAKSHA BEAD every day – you attain the blessings of Lord Shiva. Because RUDRAKSHA is SHIVA – SHIVA is RUDRAKSHA.”

Mohan asked “ That is such a beautiful alternative. And then I have one more question – does result manifest based on the number of MUKHI Rudraksha bead that one worships every day?”

I smiled at Mohan and said “Hmm Mohan it seems you have been progressing well in your meditation – nowadays I see you asking good questions.”

Mohan blushed, a simple man with a beautiful heart.

I said “ Now – I will share with you the results that one may attain by worshipping the Rudraksha bead placed in the Pooja Ghar (place of worship).

12 Mukhi Rudraksha Bead – Overcome Fear of imprisonment, curb losses, curb expenses

11 Mukhi – Attain more benefits, more profits, fulfilment of desires and blessings of Lord Hanuman

10 Mukhi – Attain growth in career, becomes more action oriented, growth in status

9 Mukhi – Attains Siddhis if one is on spiritual path, attains Guru, attains higher knowledge – wisdom and blessings from elderly men and women.

8 Mukhi – Overcomes the timing of death, if he or she has some death leading diseases of life threating situations then by worshipping 8 Mukhi Rudraksha

7 Mukhi – Issues regarding marriage – relationship issues, sexual problems, all of these are nullified by worshipping 7 Mukhi Rudraksha.

6 Mukhi – Court cases, litigations, sometimes innocent men are targeted by woman – as well as – innocent women are targeted by men – they try hard to defame such innocent men – they drag them to courts – so to overcome such FALSE ALLEGATIONS – once should worship 6 mukhi Rudrksha with devotion and love. It also helps in overcoming certain chronic diseases. As well it is a good remedy for overcoming certain Black Magic Spells.

5 Mukhi – This is my favorite bead. Because it simple – it is available in abundance and it signify the five elements or the “panchamahabhutas”. These are: Prithvi(Earth), Jal (Water), Agni (Fire), Vayu (Air) and Akash (Space). The entire universe is created by these five elements. When I was young – I used to wear this but then I had to remove it as to maintain its purity and piousness which is difficult when we are living a material life. So now I simply worship this magnificent bead in my place of worship. By worshipping this bead – the person is blessed by all the devtas of the five elements – in simple words such a person’s life is well-balanced and what can be as beautiful then a living a balanced life!

4 Mukhi – Property specific matters, mother related issues, happiness from mother, happiness from properties – is what comes when you are devoted to this 4 Mukhi Rudraksha. Those who are going through RAHU Mahadasha should definately worship this 4 Mukhi rudraksha bead.

3 Mukhi – Hurdles in work, many times a student fails in an exam – such a student should worship 3 Mukhi rudraksha. A good student is one who has a good learning curve – meaning he or she is a fast learner – this Rudrasha bead bestows this learning quality – it improves your grasping power – because it is only when you can grasp more that you can learn more! For attaing a certain skill – for enjoying certain adventures of life – for overcoming boredom and making or keeping life always interesting – this 3 Mukhi Rudraksha bead is the answer.

2 Mukhi – Many times it happens – you earn good money but you are not able to SAVE your money. I knew one CEO – on the 1st of the month – his account was filled with lakhs of rupees and by 31st – his account would become completely penniless. For such men and women – keeping a auntentic 2 Mukhi rudraksha in the place of worship (Pooja Ghar) and worshipping daily by doing abhishek – helps in improving their savings. This also improves your eating habits and when you control your diet intake – you are able to take on life much effectively then otherwise!

1 Mukhi – What to say about this bead. I am speechless. It is here that the Buddha is born! It is here that the Mahavira is born. It is here that Kabir is born! This is an exclusive highly rare bead which manifests ONLY for those who are on the BUDDHA PATH – meaning on the SPIRITUAL PATH. Now there are many millionaires who believe that by buying this ONE MUKHI – they will become the BUDDHA. In reality – it is only the BUDDHA who can actually make use of this rare bead – so if you are NOT living a spiritual life of an ascetic then it is better you stay away from this bead.

Mohan gave me a hug and said “This is incredible – I never knew you had so much to share….”

I smiled and said “So do I. It all happens by HIS – God’s – Guru’s grace – HE orders and I share – HE orders and I write. I am HIS servant – I work for HIM.”

“WHOEVER WORKS FOR GOD, HIS WORK WILL BE DONE BY ITSELF.”
-Neem Karoli Baba

Always remember – GOD and GURU are two words but in reality they are SAME – they are ONE. Reminds me of those days when I was staying on Sajjangad – the Fort near Satara. Sajjangad is a wonderful divine place – simply because one of the greatest Avatar of Lord Hanuman – Samarth Ramdas Swami had stayed and taken the last breath on this Fort which was gifted to HIM by Chatrapatti Shivaji Maharaj.

The guidance that Chattrapatti Shivaji Maharaj received from Samarth Ramdas Swami was so precious that it helped the Marathas to win battles against the Mughals as well as overcome the many heinous conspiracies of the Mughals.

Samarth Ramdas Swami was the Guru of Shivaji Maharaj and one day Shivaji Maharaj requested Swami to stay on this fort. He said “ Swamiji – I know you never stay at one place for long – but now you have become old and I would love to see you stay on this Fort – Sajjan Gad.”

Swami accepted this request of Shivaji Maharaj and started staying on this Fort. Sajjan is a Hindi/Marathi word – which literally means Gentleman. Since this fort was blessed by the omnipresence of Swami Samarth Ramdas and His disciples – it came to be known as SAJJANGAD meaning Fort of Gentlemen.

On this Fort – I had stayed for a couple of days in deep penance – and it is here where I came across a beautiful letter written by Swami Samarth to his very close disciple. And the disciple was also an enlightened man. However in HIS letter – Swami writes “You belong to ME and I belong to all GODS.”

How beautiful and deep is this verse written by Swamiji! It simply means that it is only GURU who can connect you with GOD. Because GURU and GOD are ONE – there is absolutely NO duality – it is pure ADVAIT – NON-DUAL!

Mohan said “ I am so touched by your sharing.

I said “It is getting dark and now you should leave. It is time to meditate.”

You all – also focus on meditating every day. In this human life – you will find many negative people ridiculing you – just the way I have found in my life as well – BUT if you remain focused within – then no matter how much noise the negative fellows make – you will be at peace.

The focus should be – on chanting the holy name of God – and finding peace within. Always remember – peace is only to be found within and if you ask me – then I am ready to trade everything that I have in material possession for that greatest GOLD of this universe – PEACE. SHANTI.

“Peace is the inner nature of humankind.
If you find it within yourself, you will then find it everywhere.”
-Ramana Mahnini

How to find peace within?

And the answer is simple – STOP entertaining your thoughts. STOP having resentful thoughts. STOP following the fancies of your MIND.

“Your nature is Peace and Happiness.
Thoughts are the obstacles to realization.
A thought must be quelled as soon as it rises.
Whenever a thought arises, do not be carried away by it.”
-Sri Ramana Maharshi

If suicidal thoughts come – then don’t act on them. If lustful thoughts come – then don’t act on them. If resentful thoughts come – then don’t act on them – don’t hurt others by your comments or talks. So basically – DO NOT act on the thoughts that come to your mind – just WATCH, just WITNESS – and they will fade away!

Paramhansa Yogananda beautifully mentions the best remedy to avoid negative thoughts, He mentions – that negative thoughts come only when you NOT occupied in some creative work. So always keep yourself engaged in some creative work and then see – how it works well for you and how you are SAVED from negative thoughts!

My friends – my fellows and those all who have been following ME – let me tell you – that nothing can satisfy you other then the name of GOD – other than the abode of GOD – other then the LOVE of GOD. No matter how much you have earned – it is all waste if you haven’t realized GOD.

And so I urge all my followers to take the necessary efforts to realize GOD – let me tell you that if you take one step towards GOD – GOD will take one hundred steps towards you! That is how GOD’s love is – simply immeasurable!

And so do something special in this human life that rarely one gets!

“You must not let your life play Out in the ordinary way, Do something nobody else has done, Show the world that Gods Creative principle works In you”
-Paramhansa Yogananda

God is within your heart. Focus on your heart – your heart is beautiful – what comes between YOU and your HEART is your MIND.

Meditation is simply to bring this MIND under your control and then eventually drop this MIND – and reach the state of NO MIND – the state of BUDDHA – the state of Kabir – the state of Mahavira!

It is a long journey – but remember – every long journey begins with a small step!

Let the journey within – begin.

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

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

In the whole subject of Astrology or Human life as such – the MIND is the most significant aspect of human life. Therefore I always emphasis on the fact that your MOON CHART is more important than your ASCENDANT CHART for the simple reason that – HAPPINESS IS BASED ON THE STATE OF YOUR MIND.

Happiness is a state of mind, so the real source of happiness must lie within the mind, not in external conditions. – Geshe Kelsang Gyatso

And so when MOON is with KETU or RAHU or SATURN or MARS or SUN – by default the LORD of your MOON SIGN becomes weak – and so wearing a GEMSTONE of your MOON SIGN LORD is very much essential for living a successful life.

Now for the larger interest of all my close followers and readers – I will take you through certain examples based on which you can get a better understanding of the message I am trying to convey:

Example 1:

MOON conjunct KETU in the sign of Saturn (CAPRICORN or AQUARIUS)

Such a native should wear NEELAM irrespective of which ASCENDANT he or she is born. Do not get trapped in bookish knowledge – else you will never find the answer to your life problems.

MOON conjunct RAHU in the sign of Mars (Aries or SCORPIO)

Such a native should wear RED CORAL irrespective of which ASCENDANT he or she is born. Do not get trapped in bookish knowledge – else you will never find the answer to your life problems.

MOON conjunct SUN in the sign of Venus (TAURUS OR LIBRA)

Such a native should wear DIAMOND irrespective of which ASCENDANT he or she is born. Do not get trapped in bookish knowledge – else you will never find the answer to your life problems.

MOON conjunct SATURN in the sign of Sun (LEO)

Such a native should wear RUBY irrespective of which ASCENDANT he or she is born. Do not get trapped in bookish knowledge – else you will never find the answer to your life problems.

MOON conjunct SATURN in the sign of Moon (CANCER)

Such a native should wear PEARL irrespective of which ASCENDANT he or she is born. Do not get trapped in bookish knowledge – else you will never find the answer to your life problems.

So what you all should realize is that the MOON SIGN LORD STRENGTH is utmost important if you want to swim through the many difficulties and challenges of life.

When Mohan was young – he was very shy, very timid, very restless – than one day I looked into his horoscope and realized that his moon is with KETU in the sign of Aquarius. The Lord of Aquarius sign – Saturn is excellent in his horoscope but because KETU is falling in AQUARIUS – it is sucking out the strength of SATURN and so then I suggested him to wear NEELAM.

Mohan was a sincere man of heart and always close to me. He immediately listened and started wearing NEELAM – a beautiful Blue sapphire stone from Sri Lanka (Ceylon) and then within six months – he rose to great heights of career, his perspective towards life changed – always remember it is only when your perspective changes – that you start progressing in your life! Mohan started progressing in life – that made me happy – to see a young simple man of heart – finally getting what he deserved!

Sometimes a change of perspective is all it takes to see the light. – DanBrown

But not everybody is Mohan and so I also don’t entertain everybody – it reminds me of a great Guru – once a Cabinet Minister had come to seek his advice – the Guru rejected him. Then after a few weeks – the son of the same cabinet minister called him and the Guru said “I rejected your father – how will I accept you?”

The REAL Is FEARLESS because the REAL has nothing to lose – nothing to gain – HE is the MASTER – the REAL MASTER.

And that is how you all should be – in fact those who are following me closely – must be really something because understanding my sharing is not everybody’s cup of tea.

Tea – we all have a cup of tea almost many times a day – as Indians we cannot live without tea! Tea is spiritual – Coffee is sexual. Now this is a very deep subject – will reveal on some other day – but for now – it is necessary to remember that – when you take a sip of tea – you should enjoy it completely – as if taking the sip of tea is the ONLY pleasure of your life – the only goal of your life. Unfortunately many of you drink tea – but when you drink – when you take the first sip of tea – your mind is somewhere else – you are thinking about someone or something – your mind is not HERE AND NOW – and that is where you miss – this is how you go on missing life – you have to BE HERE NOW – that’s what meditation is all about – to bring the monkey mind to this NOW moment – and so next time when you drink tea – ensure that you are enjoying the aroma of the tea – the taste – the flavor in totality.

Remember, life is not made of great things, it is made of very small things. In the morning, sipping a cup of tea, do it totally, as if this is the last cup of tea you will ever sip again. – Osho

Always remember – when tea-drinking can become a meditation then anything can become a meditation.

For meditation – you have to strengthen the LORD of your MOON SIGN. For attaining success in your career – you have to strengthen the LORD of your MOON SIGN. So the LORD of the MOON sign is very significant. In fact only two planets are MOST SIGNIFICANT in your life – and that is the LORD of your MOON sign and LORD of your ASCENDANT sign.

Success comes in your life when you learn to live in the NOW moment. Reminds me of a beautiful story….

One day, a monk came to meet Ikayu – the great Zen master.

Ikayu asked him “Have I seen you before?”

The man said “No sir, there is no possibility. I have come for the first time, I am a stranger — you could not have seen me before.”

Ikayu said “Okay, then have a cup of tea.”

The monastry was big, and there were many monks who lived in this monastry. One of them was standing near Ikayu. And so Ikayu asked “Have I seen you before?”

The monk said, “Yes sir, you must have seen me. I have always been here; I am not a stranger.”

The monk must have been a disciple of Ikayu’s, and Ikayu said,”Okay, then have a cup of tea.”

Now the manager of the monastery was puzzled: with two different persons responding in different ways, two different answers were needed. But Ikayu responded in the same way — to the stranger and to the friend, to one who has come for the first time and to one who has been here always. To the unknown and to the known, Ikayu responded in the same way. He made no distinction, none at all. He didn’t say, “You are a stranger. Welcome! Have a cup of tea.” He didn’t say to the other, “You have always been here, so there is no need for a cup of tea.” Nor did he say, “You have always been here so there is no need to respond.” And neither did he ignored the known, the familiar disciple!

The manager couldn’t understand. It is difficult: a manager has to be mathematical, calculating; he has to see the world and arrange things accordingly. The manager became disturbed. What is this? What is happening? This looks illogical. It’s okay to offer a cup of tea to a stranger but to this disciple who has always been here? So he asked, “Why do you respond in the same way to different persons, to different answers?”

And Ikayu called loudly, “Manager, are you here?”

The manager said, “Yes sir, of course I am here.”

And Ikayu said, “Then have a cup of tea.”

This asking loudly, “Manager, are you here?” is calling his presence, his awareness. Awareness is always new, it is always a stranger, the unknown. The body becomes familiar not the soul — never. You may know the body of your wife; you will never know the unknown hidden person. Never. That cannot be known, you cannot know it. It is a mystery; you cannot explain it. When
Ikayu called, “Manager, are you here?” suddenly the manager became aware. He forgot that he was a manager, he forgot that he was a body; he responded from his heart. He said, “Yes sir.”

This asking loudly was so sudden, it was just like a shock. And it was futile, that’s why he said, “Of course I am here. You need not ask me, the question is irrelevant.” Suddenly the past, the old, the mind, everything was dropped. The manager was there no more — simply a consciousness was responding. Consciousness is always new, constantly new; it is always being born; it is never old. And Ikayu said, “Then have a cup of tea.”

You see – so beautiful is this story – and so deep that only a meditative being can truly understand and resonate with this story. Consciousness knows no past and no future – Consciousness is very much in the NOW moment – and so when Ikayu called “Manager – are you HERE?” – suddenly the consciousness of the manager responded “Yes sir – I am very much here.”

And this is how when you start responding “Yes sir – I am very much here” – when you start living your life by bringing your mind in the present moment – in the NOW moment – that is when you will start progressing in your life – the key therefore is to BE HERE NOW.

NOW is the only Reality – all else is either Memory or Imagination. – Osho

Always remember – PAST is NO MORE. FUTURE is NOT YET. NOW is the only moment. Life is flowing NOW – if you are able to BE HERE NOW – then you will perform well in your work which ultimately will bring great success and progress in your life. Intelligent person attains success in life because only an intelligent person is able to live totally in the PRESENT MOMENT – the NOW moment.

Intelligence is the capacity to be in the present. The more you are in the past or are in the future, the less intelligent you are. Intelligence is the capacity to be here-now, to be in this moment and nowhere else. Then you are awake. –  Rajneesh

It is not important that WHEN you awake – it is important that you AWAKE. So get started – start wearing the gemstone of your moon sign lord IF your moon is in conjunction with KETU, RAHU, SATURN, SUN or MARS. And along with this remedy – also start taking efforts to FOCUS on the NOW moment – the more you are able to BE HERE NOW – the more LIFE can offer you….

Train your mind – to – BE HERE NOW.

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

When everything is in harmony – why you want to cause a disturbance?

And this is the greatest tragedy of the human world. People want to interfere – with the flow of life. The ‘river’ flows, and nobody has till date found on what decides – who decides the flow of the river – it simply goes on flowing – whosoever comes is welcomed, the river is not bothered about the disturbances, about who is coming to join and who is leaving – it simply rejoices in its flowing……and that is how life should be! A flow, a flux. Let life flow…..

“Let Life Flow;
don’t interfere.”
-Osho

But people won’t listen! Who wants to listen? Everybody is running – just to do something with the flow of his or her life – and that causes much misery – this interference leads to many problems!

The focus should be on wearing gemstones – as less as possible!

But the MIND won’t listen. The MIND is illusive – the MIND creates many illusions – the astrologer you visit is also following his or her mind and you are also following your mind. The result is misery.

Calculative minds can never reach an effective conclusion. A calculative conclusion fails miserably and that is how I come across hundreds of people – just throwing away the gemstones that they (MIND) had thought to be a perfect solution!

A meditative man who understands the language of the stars – can help you with the solution. He is not a calculative man – he is not a Pundit, he is not a scholar – he is not a man who would keep analyzing – he would simply give you the most beautiful gift – the gift of consciousness – the gift of awareness. When awareness comes – no calculations are required – you understand the unspoken language – the language of the heart!

The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.

“The very center of your heart is where life begins – the most beautiful place on earth.” -Rumi

And whatever comes from the heart – *is* the real solution! But people never reach to their hearts – they simply become the slave of their MIND and the MIND can never let you realize the truth. The MIND is a MONKEY – it will continue to wander – it will continue to make you restless – because the nature of the MIND itself is of being restless!

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

To understand your problem, you have to look within, to find the solution to your problem – you have to look within. No books and no astrologers and no pundits can give you – what you can FIND within yourself! Your MIND has illusions – your HEART has the answers!

“You shouldn’t seek greatness outside. It is present within you. You just need to slowly realize your true nature by experimentation.
Listen to your heart and answer your calling.”
– Osho

Millions and millions of books are written on which gemstone has to be donned – hundreds and hundred of astrologers and pundits are recommending gemstones – and yet nobody knows – what is right for me? You are just following – but I am encouraging you to follow your heart, to dive within and find the answers you have been seeking – but who wants to listen?

In your case – the harmony is existing, there is a music, there is a dance, there is a resonance of your stars – then why you want to wear a pearl? But who wants to listen – the MIND wants something – some stone, some talisman, something has to be there – so then you can RELAX!

But I appeal to all my followers – do not let your MIND interfere – do not become so weak that you cannot survive happily without a GEMSTONE! I want you all – not to just keep wearing gemstones – I would want you all to be more and more meditative – so that a day would come when no gemstone is required – because then you have become a Gem of a person! And that is my only prayer – to help you all – become more and more meditative. Come – let us become more human, more meditative and more loving.

Love deeply, love without jealousy, love blissfully and help each other to be more meditative.

“Love means the art of being with others. Meditation means the art of being with yourself. They are two aspects of the same coin.” -OSHO

Gemstone, Talisman, Threads – these all are just tools – what activates – these tools is your KARMA. You may have the finest mobile – but if it is not ‘charged’ – not activated – then what is the use – it is as good as dead.

A gemstone is a medium – the quality of your KARMA is the real source of your future. But people have made the ‘medium’ much larger than life! And that is the greatest irony of human life! What should be truly focused on (Karma) – is ignored while what needs minimum attention is enlarged!

What you FOCUS on – GROWS! Focus on correcting your KARMA, focus on turning inwards, focus on raising your ‘self’ to higher altitudes. Love is contagious – what you love is what you become! Love, but love something that takes you to the beyond. Bring something higher into yourself and the lower will be forgotten.

In the AGE of Ignorance (Kali-Yug) – the FACE (RAHU) is sought after – the FACE is ‘plastic’- it is artificial – it is ‘lifeless’ – there is no truth in it – the real truth is within – your true beauty is within – your true fragrance is within you.

And I am here – to help you find the real flowers. You may not find my answers like the many perfect looking plastic flowers – but there is a fragrance to the answer that I am sharing – and you can only feel it when you are flowering – and your ‘flowering’ is only possible when you are meditating!

Nothing matters more than your ‘innermost’ flowering – then there is a music to it, then there is a fragrance to your being – then even if you wear a plain stone – it becomes a great magical stone – the miracle, the magic is within you – once you have it – then every stone that you touch – becomes a miracle! Then there is no negativity – but only positivism. Then there is no place for a ‘NO’ but only for ‘YES’!

“No is a closed state of mind, yes is open flower. Just a simple word YES, can revolutionize your whole being.”
-OSHO

Your ‘self’ is much greater than a ‘stone’ – focus on the ‘self’! REalize your self-worth. Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha! Jai Guru!

What is more effective – food or the body that digests the food? BOTH. Similarly both are important for the overall progress of an individual. Gemstone are mediums – that help you to effectively practice mantras or affirmations. So gemstones compliments or empowers your meditative practices or in plain terms spiritual practices.

But NOT everyone can afford to wear precious gemstones. So then what to do?

You simply have to then put more efforts in tuning the body vibrations by practicing Fasting, wearing some other amulets that are far cheaper than gemstones.

Always remember and I say it to all my genuine followers and readers – Mantra is the MASTER KEY that can help you all overcome the many miseries of this human life. I HAVE MENTIONED MORE ABOUT THIS IS MY NEW BOOK – ‘NO MIND’ – available on Amazon and Flipkart and also on Kindle App.

MANTRA is the MASTER KEY that can bring wonders to your being. While GEMSTONES or any other AMULETS are like tonic capsules that can empower you to focus more by improving your positive energies thereby bringing more power and strength to the MANTRA that you chant.

In the book “ Autobiography of a Yogi” – in one of the last chapters – Sri Yukteshwar Giri ( the Guru of Paramhansa Yogananda) suggests Yogananda to wear a certain type of silver bracelet – to which Yoganada says “ Does a Yogi like me need it?”

Sri Yukteshwar Giri smiles and says “ You don’t need it, but the body needs it. The bracelet prevents certain negative energies from reaching and harming the physical body. And since this physical body helps us to drive the many positive missions for the betterment of the people – it is our responsibility to protect this human body through certain Amulets.”

And so all kind of Amulets or Gemstones are of great significance and effective – BUT always remember that these AMULETS are to help you attain the higher purpose of your life and which is only to be found when you engross yourself with utmost devotion and faithfully chanting the Holy Mantra of your faith.

NAAMSMARAN ( Chanting or remembering the name of the Holy Lord) is the only and the most effective key to your spiritual progress. In this KALI YUG only the name of the Lord can save you all from the many miseries of life. Sai Baba, Neem Karoli Baba, Gondavalekar Maharaj, Gajanan Maharaj, Swami Samarth, Rangavdhoot Maharaj, and many spiritual holy saints and Yogis have emphasized the immense importance of chanting the Holy Mantra of your choice.

||AUM NAMAHA SHIVAY||

||SHRI RAM JAI RAM JAI JAI RAM||

|| AUM GAM GANAPATAYE NAMAHA||

These are some of the most simple and sweet and very positively effective Mantras that I would encourage all my followers and readers to introduce in their daily meditation prayers.

And when you practice your meditation prayers with one of these beautiful Mantras by wearing certain gemstones or amulets- your get more ‘speed’ and ‘mileage’ to your spiritual journey ahead!

So you see, something beautiful has flowered from this question and answer – and I personally think that nothing can be as beautiful than to end this wonderful year 2019 by sharing and emphasizing on the immense importance of chanting the Holy Name of the Lord, the Guru – the divine Master.

So to all my followers and readers who have loved my answers and also loved me – here comes the last message from me and that is – NO matter how much difficulties you all are facing in the current phase of life – do this: go to the market and buy a a beautiful Lotus Beads Mala or Spatik Beads Mala of 108 beads. And then on any Thursday morning- start chanting the holy name of Lord by using the mala. Let me tell you all- MEDITATION HAPPENS ONLY WHEN THERE IS ONE THOUGHT AND NO OTHER THOUGHTS.

Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi quotes Meditation in the most beautiful way:

“ When there are no other thoughts but just one thought and you focus on that one thought – meditation starts flowering.”

That one thought is your Mantra. That one thought is the name of the Holy Lord – your master.

And so come you all – and meditate on the Lord’s holy name.

Enough for today.

It is time to meditate.

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Within every natural authentic gemstone – there are some natural ‘dark marks’ – some natural ‘smoky substance’ – especially when it comes to ruby or sapphire. A gemstone that is totally transparent with absolute no spot – no natural bubble or smoky substance within – is generally a FAKE.

In real-life -the human being is also like a gemstone! Because just the way NO GEMSTONE is perfect – similarly NO human being is PERFECT!

‘I LOVE THIS WORLD BECAUSE IT IS IMPERFECT. IT IS IMPERFECT, AND THAT’S WHY IT IS GROWING; IF IT WAS PERFECT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD. GROWTH IS POSSIBLE ONLY IF THER IS IMPERFECTION. I WOULD LIKE YOU TO REMEMBER AGAIN AND AGAIN, I AM IMPERFECT, THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS IMPERFECT, AND TO LOVE THIS IMPERFECTION, TO REJOICE IN THIS IMPERFECTION IS MY WHOLE MESSAGE.”
– Osho

Life becomes a misery when we chase for perfection. And the same life becomes a garden of bliss when we focus on BEING TOTAL.

Don’t be bothered by perfection. Replace the word ‘perfection’ by ‘totality’. Don’t think it in terms that you have to be perfect, think in terms that you have to be total. Totality will give you a different dimension.
-OSHO

Whatever you do – Be Total.

If you love – Be Total in your love – so much so that the person you love is GOD for you!

And if you HATE – be Total in your hate – so much so that the person you hate is SATAN for you!

And who knows – your HATE IF it becomes TOTAL then one fine day it may start transforming into LOVE! HATE can transform into LOVE – those who have been following me have read the many historical real-life incidents that I have been sharing all along on this forum!

When the pendulum of the clock goes to the extreme LEFT – a time comes when it has reached the dead-end- there is no further space to move – the pendulum has to start moving towards the RIGHT – the POSITIVE – the LOVE!

“If you want to hate me – then be firm on your stand because if you move even a bit from your stand – then you may fall in love with me.” – Osho

HATE can change into LOVE. In fact, a man or woman who hates is far better than a man or woman who is FAKE! Because FAKE has absolutely no future, it remains where it is. But HATE is at least REAL – and whatever is REAL – has a GOOD CHANCE to transform – to evolve – to raise the quality of this journey called life.

And so see the beauty – see the reality that only a GEMSTONE that has certain ‘imperfections’ within – is considered to be REAL. Only a MAN or WOMAN who has a certain imperfection within is considered REAL. And I LOVE SUCH MEN and WOMEN – I just love them because they are SO NATURAL – SO REAL. My heart is always open for such REAL MEN – yes they are IMPERFECT but because they are IMPERFECT – they are REAL MEN and REAL WOMEN who are song, who are a beautiful ‘poem’!

Always remember – and I share this with my genuine followers and readers – that NOBODY is PERFECT in this UNIVERSE – neither ME, neither YOU – and neither this whole cosmos! And because it is NOT PERFECT – it is ALIVE – it is GROWING – it is BLOSSOMING! Rejoice in your imperfection – because you all look beautiful only when you are – IMPERFECT, – natural – flowing like a beautiful river….

This is the beauty of this planet – this universe that whatever is imperfect is REAL – an imperfect stone with certain spots within – an imperfect man with certain drawbacks – an imperfect woman with certain shortcomings – and yet THEY ALL LOOK BEAUTIFUL – they all LOOK ALIVE – because they are R E A L.

Always remember – TOTALITY is possible – Perfection is impossible. A perfect looking rose looks good – but it is ‘plastic’ – it has NO fragrance to it.

A perfect looking gemstone looks good – but it is synthetic – it has NO vibrations to it – it is dead.

Perfection is being dead. Imperfection is being ALIVE.

So come – come you all and let us rejoice in our imperfections – because that is what makes us REAL – NATURAL.

And a man who is natural, a woman who is natural – always looks beautiful – always is a song, a beautiful dance.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru. 🙏🙏

Opal is a magical stone. The best opals are found in Australia. The colorful shades that it displays – brings a certain magical elements to it.

Opal has NOTHING to do with VENUS but people like to make JODIs – so they say that when you cannot afford Diamond ( Venusian stone) – you should buy an OPAL! It is like if you do not find a good Japanese to marry then you can settle down for a Chinese! And if you ask why? Then the answer they give is ‘ they look alike’!

Now that is not the reality. A Chinese has his own dignity and a Japanese has it’s own. They have their individual qualities that one should not mess up with.

But that is what is happening nowadays! The cunning mind goes on finding SUBSTITUTES- when in reality there CANNOT be any SUBSTITUTES.

Nobody can be a substitute for you and nobody can be a substitute for me. Each person is unique – he is neither superior to anybody and neither he is Inferior to anybody and neither he is equal to anybody – he is simply UNIQUE!

BUT shallow people have found SUBSTITUTES. When in reality OPAL is OPAL. It has its distinctive UNIQUE identity- but shallow people have labelled such a charm such a beauty as a substitute stone for Diamond ( Venus).

In reality Opal has nothing to do with Venus. It is just a charming stone – if you want to appear charming in life, if you want to bring charm to life then this *is* the stone for you!

What is a CHARM? Charm means the power to attract or fascinate others!

Venus is LOVE. You cannot wear Opal to experience love in your life. It is like boarding a train that is going to Delhi and you want to go to Mumbai!

Opal has nothing to do with Love – but Opal has a lot to do with CHARM!

AND so Opal stones are worn to ATTRACT others.

It is a powerful stone when used in certain magic rituals. Also works well in certain black magic rituals. By and by it is a magical stone.

If you want to attract money, place an Opal stone on your shop counter or office desk. If you want to attract somebody you find very interesting to mingle with – then wear an Opal stone.

Understand the fact that Venus is higher love and therefore Venus exalts in Pisces- the 12th sign of compassion and forgiveness!

You cannot ask somebody to wear an Opal stone to experience higher love. It is like trying to experience Mercedes by driving a Maruti!

And so through this answer, I want to make my followers and readers realize that there are absolutely NO SUBSTITUTES for Diamond.

A diamond is a diamond. An Opal is an Opal. To connect them in anyway is to simply devalue their individuality. Never do it and never consider anybody in life as equal or SUBSTITUTES- nobody is equal, nobody is SUBSTITUTE and nobody is inferior or superior – everybody and everything is Unique. Simply unique.

And because people cannot realize the uniqueness- they go on creating many SUBSTITUTES and many notions which in reality is NOT the Truth.

And Truth is dangerous. Truth can shatter all your illusions. But if you are open to let the Truth penetrate into your being than the same TRUTH can bring a great transformation within you.

And real transformation happens only when you are moved within.

Love is a miracle. One of the greatest miracle of life. You can ATTRACT everything but not love. Opal is a limited version – magic is a limited version, it is man made whereas Miracle is God made!

And what is God made – lasts forever! Miracle lasts forever and not Magic!

Magic is man-made. Miracle is GOD-MADE!

And meditation is one of the greatest miracle of GOD – that God has so lovingly shared with HIS children – WE ALL!

Wearing an Opal is settling for MAGIC. And I would love to see all my followers to settle NOT for Magic – but for the MIRACLE! Magic is a very poor choice for Miracle!

And so come, and focus on meditating. Always remember – magical powers are easy to gain – but the miraculous powers are the most rarest of rare that one can attain! And it is attained only through SELFLESS SERVICE, through LOVE, through DEVOTION – Jesus never did any magic – but performed many MIRACLES!

Buddha never did any MAGIC – but he performed many miracles – many sick were healed and many miserable people were shown the path….

GREAT things always TAKES TIME – and I would love to see you becoming GREAT and not just good.

Let us move towards the Greatness – always remember the greatest mountain PEAK exists – where there is also the most deepest valley! To attain that which is GREAT – one has to go through many difficulties – he has to go through many TESTS – but always remember GOD tests only those whom HE LOVES the most!

And so in life if you are tested – if you are going through hardships – then remember – GOD LOVES YOU.

And so let the journey towards GREATNESS – continue, God is Great and when you are walking WITH HIM – WITH HIS name in your heart – than sooner or later you will be experiencing the taste of being Great!

Then no gemstones are required – no magic is required – then you are deeply engrossed within and the dance has begin, the music has begin – and the whole universe is made available to you – then you realize that the universe was never locked – it was always open!

Magic is a sign of weakness.

Miracle is a sign of tremendous strength that goes multiplying with time!

It is always a matter of choice – what you choose is what you become.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

The real PEARL is the NATURAL PEARL found deep inside the ocean – which is rare to find and its cost begins from minimum 10K per carat. A real good natural pearl of 3 carats costs minimum 50K.

Then there are HYBRID pearls which are produced with human intervention. Thailand, Malaysia, and many such island nations have large breeding centers where these pearls are produced – they are NOT natural and since they are produced by human beings – they are available in abundance and are damn cheap. You can get a 5 carat good quality hybrid natural in 10K.

Whereas the same NATURAL PEARL (MOTI) will cost minimum 50K for 5 carats – the best will cost 5 Lakhs!

So be careful when you are buying a natural pearl and I say this for the larger interest of all my followers and readers who may at some point in life – may want to buy a pearl!

But the larger question is what will a POOR MAN or POOR WOMAN will do?

Is ASTROLOGY is only for the RICH?

Are solutions only for those who have so much of MONEY?

Can’t a POOR also get equivalent SOLUTION?

God is only for the RICH and not for the POOR?

And the answer is – GOD is MORE with the POOR than the RICH!

Jesus moved mostly amongst the POOR! Jesus LOVED the POOR.

Jesus himself was a Poor Man. Jesus is a poor carpenter’s son; he knows what poverty is. And because of that poverty he speaks a totally different language than Buddha.

“Jesus is a poor man, he is not like Krishna, Buddha and Mahavira. Buddha and Mahavira have not said that no rich man can enter into paradise. Jesus says: “Even a camel can pass through the eye of a needle, but the rich man cannot enter through the gate into heaven.” – Osho

Jesus says “ Blessed are those who are POOR in SPIRIT – for theirs is the KINGDOM of HEAVEN.”

‘POOR IN SPIRIT’ is a reference to the SPIRITUAL POVERTY!

What is Spiritual Poverty?

If a beggar is EGOIST – then he is NOT spiritually poor.

If a KING is EGOLESS – then he is spiritually poor!

“Spiritually poor means there is nobody inside, utter emptiness, a silence prevails. This poverty has NOTHING to do with outer poverty. Outer poverty can be easily imposed, that is not going to help. An inner poverty is needed.” – Osho

The Sufi Saints address this spiritual poverty as FAQR. When Jesus says, “Blessed are the poor in spirit.” HE is talking exactly about FAQR. It does not mean poverty, it means spiritual poverty.

And so it doesn’t really matter whether you have millions in your bank balance or you just have a few thousand in your bank balance.

What matters is that whether you are ‘spiritually poor’ – meaning humble, grounded, understanding, and meditative!

And so if you are spiritually poor – then Jesus says – the KINGDOM OF GOD awaits you!

Apart from buying an expensive pearl of thousands of rupees/dollars – the best remedy for those who are SPIRITUALLY POOR is – FASTING ON MONDAYS and DONATING FRESH COW’s MILK to those needy poor men and women who are poor but not spiritually poor!

MONEY is NOT the only SOLUTION.

BEING RICH is NOT the only SOLUTION.

BUYING EXPENSIVE GEMSTONES is NOT the only SOLUTION.

But who wants to listen? People want some fancy solutions – they think that only by SPENDING MONEY and buying precious gemstones the solution can be found – in fact it is NOT their fault – because they are made to believe by those who are yet to know themselves!

Still for the larger interest of my followers and readers, I thought to share my answer.

As long as this answer remains, it can help those insightful readers – who are or are trying to become ‘Spiritually Poor’!

‘Inner Poverty’ is needed. Buddha calls this state of poverty – NIRVANA. The Sufi address this state of poverty as FANA – FANA means a state of non-being – Nirvana!

Non-being is exactly the state of NOTHINGNESS – EMPTINESS WITHIN – that is what the master addresses as Spiritually poor!

And my fellows – this NOTHINGNESS – this EMPTINESS – this spiritually poor state is the state that comes through KETU!

Just a few days ago my new book “Why Ketu Can Heal” is published worldwide on Amazon- do read it when you all get some time!

See how all is connected – see how we finally arrived at the state of KETU – SHUNYA – the inside poverty – NO EGO – NO MIND!

“The mind has no answers, it has only questions. Meditation has only answers and no questions, and meditation is a state of no-mind.”
-OSHO

It is only when you become ‘spiritually poor’ that you can scale up your receptivity. And the depth of receptivity is based on how close you have reached to the state of NO MIND (Ketu).

“Receptivity is a state of no-mind.
Receptivity is the door to the divine. Drop the mind and be receptive.”
-OSHO

When your receptivity is at its peak – you will understand the answers that I share. You will then understand that MONEY is not always required to find SOLUTIONS or REMEDIES.

GOD is not cruel but KIND – very KIND. HE is for all those who are ‘spiritually poor’.

My answer and remedies is also for all those who are ‘spiritually poor’. Because I am God’s servant – or to put it in much better words – I am God’s fool.

Love to all my followers and readers. 🙏

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

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

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

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

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

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

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

Let Life Flow; don’t interfere. – Osho

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

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

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

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

Weak Venus is good for SPIRITUAL GROWTH!

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

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

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

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

You always attract that which is WITHIN you!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The material men and women are behind STRENGTHEING the planets.

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

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

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

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

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

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

WEAK VENUS is GOOD. AFFLICTED VENUS is BAD.

Understand the difference, savor the difference.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Exactly after 6 months – his sister got DIVORCED.

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

But who wants to listen?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Interestingly WEAK planets bring abundance of MONEY.

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

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

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

So weak Venus often brings more money.

Many men and women who have VIRGO VENUS are millionaires.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

And the answer is “CONSCIOUSNESS”

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

JUPITER is the GURU of the DEVTAS (Gods).

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

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

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

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

The PATH decides what DESTINATION you are going to reach!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Love to all my readers and followers.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

When everything is in harmony – why you want to cause a disturbance?

And this is the greatest tragedy of the human world. People want to interfere – with the flow of life. The ‘river’ flows, and nobody has till date found on what decides – who decides the flow of the river – it simply goes on flowing – whosoever comes is welcomed, the river is not bothered about the disturbances, about who is coming to join and who is leaving – it simply rejoices in its flowing……and that is how life should be! A flow, a flux. Let life flow…..

But people won’t listen! Who wants to listen? Everybody is running – just to do something with the flow of his or her life – and that causes much misery – this interference leads to many problems!

The focus should be on wearing gemstones – as less as possible!

But the MIND won’t listen. The MIND is illusive – the MIND creates many illusions – the astrologer you visit is also following his or her mind and you are also following your mind. The result is misery.

Calculative minds can never reach an effective conclusion. A calculative conclusion fails miserably and that is how I come across hundreds of people – just throwing away the gemstones that they (MIND) had thought to be a perfect solution!

A meditative man who understands the language of the stars – can help you with the solution. He is not a calculative man – he is not a Pundit, he is not a scholar – he is not a man who would keep analyzing – he would simply give you the most beautiful gift – the gift of consciousness – the gift of awareness. When awareness comes – no calculations are required – you understand the unspoken language – the language of the heart!

The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.

And whatever comes from the heart – *is* the real solution! But people never reach to their hearts – they simply become the slave of their MIND and the MIND can never let you realize the truth. The MIND is a MONKEY – it will continue to wander – it will continue to make you restless – because the nature of the MIND itself is of being restless!

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

To understand your problem, you have to look within, to find the solution to your problem – you have to look within. No books and no astrologers and no pundits can give you – what you can FIND within yourself! Your MIND has illusions – your HEART has the answers!

Millions and millions of books are written on which gemstone has to be donned – hundreds and hundred of astrologers and pundits are recommending gemstones – and yet nobody knows – what is right for me? You are just following – but I am encouraging you to follow your heart, to dive within and find the answers you have been seeking – but who wants to listen?

In your case – the harmony is existing, there is a music, there is a dance, there is a resonance of your stars – then why you want to wear a pearl? But who wants to listen – the MIND wants something – some stone, some talisman, something has to be there – so then you can RELAX!

But I appeal to all my followers – do not let your MIND interfere – do not become so weak that you cannot survive happily without a GEMSTONE! I want you all – not to just keep wearing gemstones – I would want you all to be more and more meditative – so that a day would come when no gemstone is required – because then you have become a Gem of a person! And that is my only prayer – to help you all – become more and more meditative. Come – let us become more human, more meditative and more loving.

Love deeply, love without jealousy, love blissfully and help each other to be more meditative.

Gemstone, Talisman, Threads – these all are just tools – what activates – these tools is your KARMA. You may have the finest mobile – but if it is not ‘charged’ – not activated – then what is the use – it is as good as dead.

A gemstone is a medium – the quality of your KARMA is the real source of your future. But people have made the ‘medium’ much larger than life! And that is the greatest irony of human life! What should be truly focused on (Karma) – is ignored while what needs minimum attention is enlarged!

What you FOCUS on – GROWS! Focus on correcting your KARMA, focus on turning inwards, focus on raising your ‘self’ to higher altitudes. Love is contagious – what you love is what you become! Love, but love something that takes you to the beyond. Bring something higher into yourself and the lower will be forgotten.

In the AGE of Ignorance (Kali-Yug) – the FACE (RAHU) is sought after – the FACE is ‘plastic’- it is artificial – it is ‘lifeless’ – there is no truth in it – the real truth is within – your true beauty is within – your true fragrance is within you.

And I am here – to help you find the real flowers. You may not find my answers like the many perfect looking plastic flowers – but there is a fragrance to the answer that I am sharing – and you can only feel it when you are flowering – and your ‘flowering’ is only possible when you are meditating!

Nothing matters more than your ‘innermost’ flowering – then there is a music to it, then there is a fragrance to your being – then even if you wear a plain stone – it becomes a great magical stone – the miracle, the magic is within you – once you have it – then every stone that you touch – becomes a miracle! Then there is no negativity – but only positivism. Then there is no place for a ‘NO’ but only for ‘YES’!

Your ‘self’ is much greater than a ‘stone’—focus on the ‘self’! Realize your self-worth. Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
