Anger needs a way out. It is mere stupidity to let your anger pile up within you – because the more you suppress your anger the more you are going to make yourself miserable. Suppressing anger – is one trademark of Retrograde Mars. Remember – when you start suppressing feelings at an early age, it hurts you down the road. Full expression of anger and pain is very important.

People have very wrong assumptions about spirituality. They assume that since you are spiritual – you should never express your anger – you should just remain silent. And such kind of expectation leads one to become a FAKE SPIRITUAL BABA. That reminds me of a story – a story of a man who came to be known as SHANTI DAS. SHANTI is an Indian word – which literally means being quiet – being silent.

It happened once – there was a man who continued to suppress his anger towards his wife. He knew that his wife was cheating him – that she was having an affair with another man – but he remained silent. Maybe he was a Retrograde Mars person – he could not burst out his anger – he continued to suppress his anger and then one night – this suppressed anger burst out and impulsively he kicked his wife out of his home – the whole village and his neighbors gathered to see what is happening – Shantidas was fuming with anger – his whole face had become red with anger – and his wife immediately left him – because she was perfectly aware that had she stayed – he would have simply killed her. So she left forever. Just when all of this was happening – a Jaina monk was passing by. A crowd had gathered, and the Jaina monk said, “This mind full of anger and violence will lead you to hell.”

The situation was such that the man said, “I also want to be as silent as you are, but what can I do? I don’t know anything. When anger grips me I’m almost unconscious, and now I have killed my own beloved wife.”

The Jaina monk said, “The only way to still this mind, which is full of anger and violence and rage, is to renounce the world.” Jainism is a religion of renunciation, and the ultimate renunciation is even of clothes. The Jaina monk lives naked, because he is not allowed to possess even clothes.

The man was of a very arrogant type, and this became a challenge to him. Before the crowd he threw his clothes in the well. The whole village could not believe it; even the Jaina monk became a little afraid, “Is he mad or something?” The man fell down at his feet and said, “You may have taken many decades to reach the stage of renunciation…. I renounce the world, I renounce everything. I am your disciple ‒ initiate me.”

His name was Shantidas, and Shanti means “peace.” It often happens…if you see an ugly woman, most probably her name will be Sunderbhai, which means “beautiful woman.” In India, people have a strange way…to the blind man they give the name Nayan Sukh. Nayan Sukh means “one whose eyes give him great pleasure.”

The Jaina monk said, “You have a beautiful name. I will not change it; I will keep it, but from this moment you have to remember that peace has to become your very vibration.”

The man disciplined himself, stilled his mind, fasted long, tortured himself, and soon became more famous than his master. Angry people, arrogant people, and egoistic people can do things that peaceful people will take a little time to do. He became very famous, and thousands of people used to come just to touch his feet.

After twenty years he was in the capital. A man from his village had come for some purpose, and he thought, “It will be good to go and see what transformation has happened to Shantidas. So many stories are heard ‒ that he has become a totally new man, that his old self is gone and a new, fresh being has arisen in him, that he really has become peace, silence, tranquility.”

So the man went with great respect. But when he saw Muni Shantidas, seeing his face, his eyes, he could not think that there had been any change. There was none of the grace which necessarily radiates from a mind which has become silent. Those eyes were still as egoistic ‒ in fact, they had become more pointedly egoistic. The man’s presence was even more ugly than it used to be.

Still, the man went close. Shantidas recognized the man, who had been his neighbor ‒ but now it was beneath his dignity to recognize him. The man also saw that Shantidas had recognized him, but he was pretending that he did not. He thought, “That shows much.” He went close by Shantidas and asked, “Can I ask you a question? What is your name?”

Naturally, great anger arose in Shantidas because he knew that this man knew perfectly well what his name was. But still, he kept himself in control, and he said, “My name is Muni Shantidas.”

The man said, “It is a beautiful name ‒ but my memory is very short, can you repeat it again? I have forgotten…what name did you say?”

This was too much. Muni Shantidas used to carry a staff. He took the staff in his hand…he forgot everything ‒ twenty years of controlling the mind ‒ and he said, “Ask again and I will show you who I am. Have you forgotten? ‒ I killed my wife, I am the same man only then did he recognize what had happened.
In a single moment of unconsciousness, he realized that twenty years have gone down the drain; he has not changed at all. But millions of people feel great silence in him…. Yes, he has become very controlled, he keeps himself repressed, and it has paid off. So much respect and he has no qualification for that respect ‒ so much honor, even kings come to touch his feet.

These kinds of so-called saints and fake babas are nothing but controlled animals. The mind is nothing but a long heritage of all your animal past. You can control it, but the controlled mind is not the awakened mind. Always remember this. The process of controlling and repressing and disciplining is taught by all religions, and because of their fallacious teaching humanity has not moved a single inch ‒ it remains barbarous. Any moment people start killing each other. It does not take a single moment to lose themselves; they forget completely that they are human beings, and something much more, something better is expected of them. There have been very few people who have been able to avoid this deception of controlling the mind and believing that they have attained mindlessness.

Retrograde Mars – especially if Mercury is also combust or retrograde and Jupiter is weak – then such a person feels completely blocked – suffocated because he or she is just not able to express their anger or love freely. Problem in expressing feelings is a general observation when Mars is retrograde. And when you start feeling suffocated – then someday this suffocation is going to erupt in the form of a volcano and so that is how terrorists, murderers, and domestic violence or sexual perverts or sexual exploitations happen when Mars is retrograde and the horoscope is overall weak and negative in its overall quality and structure.

However – if this Retrograde Mars gets a quality setup – meaning support of positive placements of planets in the chart – then you also see some wonderful people having Retrograde Mars. One of them that I remember is – Pope John Paul II. He had a Virgo Mars in a retrograde state. One good thing about the Retrogression state is that the person at some stage of life confesses. John Paul II apologized to many groups that had suffered at the hands of the Catholic Church through the years. Before becoming pope he had been a prominent editor and supporter of initiatives such as the Letter of Reconciliation of the Polish Bishops to the German Bishops from 1965. As pope, he officially made public apologies for over 100 wrongdoings, including :

• The legal process on the Italian scientist and philosopher Galileo Galilei, himself a devout Catholic, around 1633 (31 October 1992).
• Catholics’ involvement with the African chiefs who sold their subjects and captives in the African slave trade (9 August 1993).
• The church hierarchy’s role in burnings at the stake and the religious wars that followed the Protestant Reformation (20 May 1995, in the Czech Republic).
• The injustices committed against women, the violation of women’s rights, and the historical denigration of women (10 July 1995, in a letter to “every woman”).
• The inactivity and silence of many Catholics during the Holocaust (see the article Religion in Nazi Germany) (16 March 1998).
• The Great Jubilee of the year 2000 included a day of Prayer for Forgiveness of the Sins of the Church on 12 March 2000.

On 20 November 2001, from a laptop in the Vatican, John Paul II sent his first e-mail apologizing for the Catholic sex abuse cases, the church-backed “Stolen Generations” of Aboriginal children in Australia, and to China for the behavior of Catholic missionaries in colonial times.

Retrograde Mars means the danger of getting killed by some accident or attack. Pope John Paul II had to face two assassination plots. Two times he was targeted but was saved by the Grace of the Lord.

So whenever you have a Retrograde Mars – you should be very careful when you are using knives, sharp objects or driving a car, or riding a bike. Accidents, getting injured, and bleeding profusely due to sudden mishaps are some of the traits of Retrograde Mars.

Retrograde Mars with Rahu is a very unfortunate placement since it can lead the person into grave situations. Imprisonment, Suicidal tendencies, or criminal tendencies are often observed when Retrograde Mars is with Rahu.

If Venus is afflicted and in a bad state and Mars is retrograde then the person may have abnormal sexual tendencies – and may also suffer because of early ejaculation and impotency. Such a man or woman is not able to provide sexual satisfaction to the partner in bed.

Of all the retrograde planets – only Retrograde Mars holds more negativity and less positivity for the simple reason that MARS is energy – and energy is primarily sexual. And when ENERGY itself is blocked or slowed down and if there is no other planet in the chart that can channel this blocked energy (Retrograde Mars) then it is obvious that the person goes through many tragedies and shocking events in life.

Retrograde Mars is just like a “German Hound”. “German Hound” is a breed of dog that barks less and bites more. A “German Hound” will never bark at you – it will simply run towards you and bite you. That is exactly how Retrograde Mars native is – especially if his or her birth chart is poor in quality.

Retrograde Mars not necessarily will impact the health of the native. Pope John Paul II was a good athlete. When he became pope in 1978 at the age of 58, John Paul II was an avid sportsman. He was extremely healthy and active, jogging in the Vatican Gardens, weight training, swimming, and hiking in the mountains. He was fond of football. However – his tenure as the Pope was filled with so much drama and tragic events that his health suffered. Pope John Paul II was probably the first Catholic Church Pope who recognized homosexuality and mentioned that this new breed of sexuality should be treated with respect. In fact, he also made efforts to improve relations with other religions. He officially supported the project of the Great Mosque in Rome and participated in the inauguration in 1995.

On 6 May 2001, he became the first Catholic pope to enter and pray in a mosque, namely the Umayyad Mosque in Damascus, Syria. Respectfully removing his shoes, he entered the former Christian church dedicated to John, the Baptist, who is also revered as a prophet of Islam. He gave a speech including the statement:

“For all the times that Muslims and Christians have offended one another, we need to seek forgiveness from the Almighty and to offer each other forgiveness.”

He also kissed the Holy Quran while in Syria, an act that made him popular among Muslims but disturbed many Catholics and drew much criticism from the conservative Christian community.

Retrograde Mars is indeed a risky affair. It brings on many sudden events that are life-threatening in nature. The famous legendary Hollywood Actor – Morgan Freeman also has this placement of Retrograde Mars. He met with a terrible accident. He and his passenger, Demaris Meyer, had to be cut free from the vehicle with hydraulic tools. Although he survived – still since that terrible car accident – Freeman suffers from fibromyalgia. Fibromyalgia (FM) is a medical condition defined by the presence of chronic widespread pain, fatigue, waking unrefreshed, cognitive symptoms, lower abdominal pain or cramps, and depression. Other symptoms include insomnia and a general hypersensitivity.

That is why – I say that Retrograde Mars is a very risky affair. In case you have this placement then buy a car that is proven as SAFE. Reminds me of the advertisement for TATA CARS in India. Earlier MARUTI SUZUKI would advertise with the punch line – KITNA DETI HAI? Meaning how much mileage the car gives? Since the early Indian generation was very cost conscious and economical by nature but NOW – times have changed in India – with more development and a good economy – Indian are more concerned with SAFETY and that is exactly what TATA MOTORS have captured by advertising with the punch line – KITNI SAFE HAIN? Meaning HOW SAFE IS THE CAR?

And that is exactly what RETROGRADE MARS natives should focus on when driving a car – they should drive a SAFE CAR and also drive SAFELY and not RASHLY if they want to avoid major car accidents in life.

Retrograde Mars can also provide good sportsmanship qualities. The person can become a good sportsman though he may have faced certain challenges there as well. Getting badly injured or being dismissed for using certain medicines or drugs that are not allowed – such incidents can happen with Retrograde Mars.

In short – Retrograde Mars is like living in a terrorist regime or under a dictator who can attack you or make your feel miserable at any stage of life.

The only way out – is when Jupiter and Saturn and Mercury and Moon are in a good state – only then the person can do well with this placement otherwise it is a risky affair – life is risky when Mars goes Retrograde!

What is RISK? When do you feel that there is a risk – or it is risky? Only when you don’t know what you are doing. Risk comes from NOT KNOWING what you are doing. And this is exactly what happens with Retrograde Mars native – he ACTS without knowing the consequences of his impulsive act. If you drive rashly and then get badly injured – whose fault it is? If you attack someone and then regret your action then what is the point – you have already done the damage and some damages cannot be controlled – some damages cannot be healed – and so negative shallow people having Retrograde Mars – REGRET a lot in life. People who comment negatively, people who comment to offend others, or people who abuse others – such kind of cheap ignorant people having Retrograde Mars – suffer a lot in life – and their journey after this birth is filled with many challenges and pain. So even after death such cheap abusive men and women continue to suffer.

However positive fellows having a certain depth of understanding can make good use of Retrograde Mars – in fact in the horoscope of such beautiful souls – Retrograde Mars is less damaging and more rewarding.

Always remember – nobody is PERFECT. And GOD never chooses those – who are perfect. Instead, God chose those who are imperfect. Because IMPERFECT men and IMPERFECT woman are available – they are natural and being natural is being beautiful.

“If God only used perfect people, nothing would get done. God will use anybody if you’re available.”
-Rick Warren

Many a time – Retrograde Mars men and women may feel that LIFE MAKES NO SENSE – and that is true as long as you don’t understand the significance of GOD – the significance of the DIVINE MASTER in your life.

“You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.”
-Rick Warren

Retrograde Mars provokes you to fight – fight with all those who come between you and your goal – fight with all those who try to hurt you by their comments – fight with all those who try to pull you down – fight with all those who insult you – and because of this constant fights – you remain restless and miserable.

Mohan asked “Then what is the way out?”

The way out is simple – but simple is not what people want. People like all that is complex and not simple. They forget the fact that TRUTH is SIMPLE. LOVE is SIMPLE. GOD is SIMPLE.

And so the answer is also simple – the only way out is by realizing the fact that the BATTLES of your life are NOT your battles but God’s.

“The reason why you’re tired is because you’re trying to fight battles that belong to God.”
-RICK WARREN

Once you come to the state of realization that all your struggles, and all your battles are NOT yours but they belong to GOD – then GOD will take over and when GOD takes over – can anything ever go wrong?

Let GOD drive your life – HE can do more with your life. Remain available to GOD and that is possible only when you start living your life by surrendering yourself at the feet of the MASTER – because the MASTER is the MESSENGER of GOD – it is only through the divine omnipresence of the MASTER that you can experience the GODLINESS. Always remember – you can never become GOD but you can always become GODLY – you can always experience the fragrance of GODLINESS and this GODLINESS exists only when you come closer and closer to the state of higher consciousness. Albert Einstein says – No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.

You have to raise the level of your consciousness. And the way to do it is by turning inwards. By spending some quality time with yourself – every day chanting and meditating is essential for you to realize the significance of SURRENDER.

“Either surrender because you admit your inability and require a higher power to help you, or investigate the cause of misery by going to the source and merging into the Self. Either way, you will be free from misery. God never forsakes one who has surrendered.” – Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi

 

When you surrender – the Master comes, the Master extends his hand and raises you up. Listen to the beautiful song – RAISE ME UP – shared in the description of this video – this beautiful song moved my heart – it may move your heart as well!

Lastly – always remember to investigate the source of your anger instead of merely controlling your anger – else you will end up becoming a Shantidas who appeared as a silent monk but within his being there was so much anger boiling! I don’t say anger is wrong, I say anger is energy — pure energy, beautiful energy. When anger arises, be aware of it, and see the miracle happen. When anger arises, be aware of it, and if you are aware you will be surprised; you are in for a surprise — maybe the greatest surprise of your life — that as you become aware, anger disappears. Anger is transformed. Anger becomes pure energy; anger becomes compassion, anger becomes forgiveness, anger becomes love. And you need not repress, so you are not burdened by some poison. And you are not being angry, so you are not hurting anybody. Both are saved: the other, the object of your anger, is saved, and you are saved.

You can overcome your anger only when you STOP REPRESSING your anger – only when you look within and try to find out the source of your anger.

Mohan asked, “What should I do when I get angry?”

When you are angry, you watch it. You are not just angry, a new element is introduced into it: you are watching it. And the miracle is that if you can watch anger, the anger disappears without being repressed.

And this is a significant message for those having Retrograde Mars – because you quickly get angry and anger distorts your judgment and when you cannot judge a situation – you end up committing serious mistakes which you regret later in life.

The more and more watchful you become – anger will be less and greed will be less and jealousy will be less. And then the spring of joy will well up within your being. Then there is a dance, a song, a beautiful painting. Then life is no more a painful journey – but a blissful joyful journey.

Love to all those having Retrograde Mars – it is a difficult placement however there is always a way out – if you are willing to walk with FAITH and not by SIGHT.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Venus and Mars coming together is a sign that LOVE and SEX are now entangled with each other! In simple words it means that the native cannot imagine love without SEX! And interestingly those who have this conjunction — they have a great sex appeal! They generally look very hot and sexy and their life is also spiced up with many love affairs or even a single love affair is so intense that they just cannot imagine a 💔 breakup and by destiny if they face a 💔 breakup then it really impacts them very badly — I have seen women and men remaining unmarried just because they cannot think of anybody else other than their lover who left them half-way!

5th house is the hub of love affairs and romantic experiences. And so when you have the HOT 🔥 SIZZLING CONJUNCTION OF VENUS AND MARS in the very HUB OF LOVE AFFAIRS (5th house) then the native is bound to fall in love multiple times in life or he may fall in love with just one woman but that will be so INTENSE that his whole life will be engulfed by just that ONE LOVE — ONE WOMAN!

The very first glimpse of 💕 LOVE happens through the eyes! LOVE AT FIRST SIGHT – is something that often happens with natives having Venus Mars conjunction!

“Seeing is believing and love at first sight, is as true and real as it gets.”

Love is first seen through the eyes! That is why the saying goes that if you want to know whether the woman loves you — look into her eyes, for the eyes can NEVER deceive!

And so is the Love that showers from the eyes of the Master — but such a love is of higher altitudes, it is unconditional, it is Pure, it is Divine!

The greatest love stories are indeed the love stories that happened between a disciple and the master – the disciple moving towards the master – the master moving towards the disciple – it is so pure, so divine, that language is poor, it is beyond the power of words to express the love between a disciple and the master!

“No love as as total as the love that happens between the master and the disciple. The love that happened between John and Jesus, the love that happened between Sariputta and Buddha, Gautama and Mahavira, Arjuna and Krishna, Chang Tzu and Lao Tzu – there are the real love stories, the highest pinnacles of love.”
– Osho

Reminds me of a great spiritual master – His Holiness Shridhar Swami. He was one of the greatest master — he lived in the small town of Alandi. Many people would come to him to seek solutions – and he was a man of many miracles, he healed many diseases and he also helped thousands in overcoming the black magic spells. He was a great Yogi – but what a great human being he was! And I had met him when he was 75 years old. Just 3 years of acquaintance and he was so fond of me. I could see that pure love in his eyes….he would fondly address me as TAMHANKAR. He was a man of miracles, a great spiritual master. One afternoon he was lying on his bed and I happened to visit him, he remained lying on his bed, I stepped ahead — he was a diabetic patient and so he had urinated in a glass bottle and the bottle was kept on a table near his bed. I looked at the bottle, it was filled with his urine. I said to him “ Baba, I will empty this bottle…”

At that moment the love that I saw in his eyes is beyond the power of expression. He could see that I have absolutely no problem in touching the bottle filled with his urine….he just nodded his head and said “ It’s ok. You don’t have to do this.”

The love between a disciple and the master cannot be expressed in words. Our bonding was very strong, in his Ashram — the name TAMHANKAR became so well known in his Ashram that if I missed to visit him for a few weeks then everyone would start asking where is Tamhankar?

The greatest honor that I had while being in His omnipresence was when he asked me to prepare his Horoscope!! I said “ Baba it is like Krishna asking Sudama to prepare his Horoscope! You are the greatest enlightened being I have ever met in person and so why you need horoscope?”

Baba was a very humorous person. I still remember his smiling face, often he would joke and often he would laugh at himself!

“Fools laugh at others. Wisdom laughs at itself.”
Rajneesh

Look into my eyes – Baba said “ Tamhankar what’s wrong in making my horoscope. Make it.”

I made his horoscope. He was born on 1938, 18th November. He look at his horoscope and said — now predict something. I also want to know about my future.”

And he started laughing loudly. A true Saint is always humorous – he laughs, he smiles, he is in his own bliss!

“If you find a sainť who has no sense of humour, then he is not a saint at all.”
-Osho

Those who were present were surprised — one of them said to me “ This is the first time in his life that Baba has asked someone about Astrology. You are very fortunate.”

This is all – the Leela of the Master. The Master’s Love is simply inexpressible! And it is only through tears that you express the inexpressible!

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

That moment my eyes were filled with tears. I feel upon Baba’s feet and Baba gave a pat on my back. It was a blessing.

Baba left his mortal body in the August of 2020. But I often remember the many moments of sharing that we had together. He would share many stories with me in private, his devotees in the Ashram would often say — When Tamhankar comes Baba is very happy.

Through out his life – Baba performed many miracles, he was an expert in removing black magic spells and nobody had the guts to stand before his immense spiritual power and yet he lived a very simple life. He belonged to a very rich family of landlords but he left everything and spend over forty years in a simple room – he never had to do any SHOW OFF – no long beard and no saffron clothes and no big tilak and no advertisements – he lived in his own way – simple and sweet.

Always remember – the REAL never has to do any SHOW OFF.

“SHOWING OFF IS THE FOOL’S IDEA OF GLORY.”
-BRUCE LEE

Love has many levels. Always remember this and I say this to all my close followers and readers. Love exists from the lowest rung to the highest rung.

“There are many, many layers, many planes of love. It all depends on you. If you are existing on the lowest rung, you will have a totally different idea of love than the person who is existing on the highest rung. Adolf Hitler will have one idea of love, Gautam Buddha another; and they will be diametrically opposite, because they are at two extremes.” – Osho

Venus Mars conjunction is a Hot Love. It is not the love of Buddha because Buddha’s Love is cold and not hot.

The general public have always known only one type of love and that is Hot Love! In fact even when they eat Dog – they want HOT DOG!

Yesterday Mohan’s friend came and said “ My girlfriend has lost interest in me…”

I asked “ Why what happened?”

He said “ She says “ You are No More 🔥 Hot.”

You see — this is how Love is expected to be. Hot. Very Hot.

Venus Mars conjunction is capable of producing such HOT LOVE.

One day Mohan asked me “ What is Hot Love?”

I said “ Hot Love means PASSIONATE LOVE.”

BUT the problem with passionate love or hot love is that it loses interest very fast!

Mohan asked “ Why so?”

Because the attraction is more towards physical pleasures. Once you have explored every part of the body then exploring the same body again and again seems boring. And then one loses interest because how long can you chew the same stick?

Sexual or physical attraction cannot last forever. You simply see some beautiful face, you see some beautiful body and you think, “My God, I am in love!” This love is not going to last, because after two days, seeing the same face for twenty-four hours a day, you will get bored. The same body… you have explored the whole topography; now there is nothing to explore. Exploring the same geography again and again, you feel like an idiot. That is how relationships formed out of physical attraction fall apart! Venus Mars conjunction drives you crazy – as you simply get attracted physically towards the opposite sex and the opposite sex also gets attracted towards your because of your immense physical beauty!

The other aspect of Venus Mars conjunction is emotional vulnerability. Emotions ( Venus) becomes often intense and wild ( Mars) leading to a highly emotional love story that either converts into a legal union ( marriage) or a serious relationship which is NO LESS than a marriage!

💔 Break-up is a very common trait of this conjunction. Because both — the male and female are so intense in their love relationship, there is so much emotion involved that even a slightest mistake of misunderstanding each other can lead to a heart breaking love story.

90% of the men and women having Venus Mars conjunction are found to be sexy and very attractive. A Venus Mars conjunction woman find it difficult to prevent attraction from men. I knew one woman and she had Mars Venus conjunction in Aries sign! And she looked very sensual and attractive. Wherever she went — she could sense the unwanted attraction and attention from men. Finally she decided to have a low profile. So she would not do any makeup, no hair styling — nothing. She started moving in simple dress and yet STILL she could see men attracted towards Her!

You see — Mars Venus conjunction brings great power of attraction. The native attracts the attention of opposite sex.

Once a woman asked me “ It seems I am not able to attract attention of men towards me. How to attract attention of men?”

I said “ You are attractive. The fact is that you look beautiful and there are many men who may find themselves pulled towards you but nobody will tell you on the face — because men are afraid of what you may think if they compliment you!”

And that is true. Many times we want to appreciate the beauty but in today’s world you never know what fuss one may make out of this appreciation!

Reminds me of my youthful days when I was 25. I was flying from Mumbai to San Fransisco and in my flight — the passenger next to me was a very beautiful young woman in her mid twenties. I was young and that was my very first flight outside India. The flight had a stop at Heathrow Airport — while changing the flight — I saw her again, she was standing and reading a magazine…I thought to step ahead and just compliment her by saying “ You truly look like a goddess!” But then I changed my mind because who knows— she may have taken it wrongly and may not have liked me appreciating her beauty!

It is a different story that a time came in my life when I was no more attracted towards the physical beauty because when you experience something that is beyond — something that is of higher altitudes — then you no more remain trapped in the physical beauty because physical beauty is temporary — spiritual beauty is immortal!

But as far as this material world is concerned — it is indeed a fact that people notice your physical beauty but rarely will anybody dare to speak up his mind openly because in this Kali-Yug AGE — you never know what meaning one will derive even though your intention is very pure and you simply want to admire the beauty that God has so lovingly bestowed on him or her!

“THE SECRET OF HAPPINESS IS TO ADMIRE WITHOUT DESIRING.”
– Carl Sandburg

Venus Mars conjunction works wonders for natives born on:

VIRGO ASCENDANT – the beauty of VIRGO Ascendant is that these fellows are blessed with a YOUTHFUL APPERANCE. I know many men and women born on VIRGO ASCENDANT and most of them don’t look their age! A 52 years old woman (Virgo Ascendant) will look almost ten years younger and on top of that if she has this SEXY conjunction of Venus and Mars – then she will give a tough competition to even those girls who are just 18! Virgo is very much youthful in appearance and generally these fellows are not bulky or fat – they maintain good shape, they focus on dieting a lot!

GEMINI ASCENDANT – Gemini is a next-door girl or next-door boy ascendant sign. Meaning these are very accommodating, easy-to-go individuals – and generally these fellows love to PARTY! The sign GEMINI is basically very sexy – in fact highly sexual – in Hindi or Marathi – the name for this sign is MITHUN – but the real pronunciation is MAITHUN – which means ‘Intercourse’ – and so Venus Mars conjunction for this Ascendant gives birth to a highly sexy person – many well known actors and actresses are born with this setup – Gemini Ascendant and Venus Mars conjunction! This deadly combination makes these fellows very attractive and appealing – if you fall for a woman having this setup in her birth chart than I will not blame you – you just cannot control yourself when you are in company with such a HOT GAL!

LIBRA ASCENDANT – Highly diplomatic and social by nature – Libra Ascendant men and women are also highly intellectual and take great interest in philosophy, romance, thriller books and movies. Venus Mars conjunction not only make these fellows highly appealing but along with physical beauty – they also have intellectuality which makes a great combination to attract a suitable mate!

Taurus Ascendant – Taurus is a sign that is more interested in the outer appearance and so they themselves take immense efforts in enhancing their beauty – they exercise, take brisk walks – because physical appearance means a lot to them. These are fellows who are more interest in action – if they love you then they would want to express it by kissing you on the lips! Designs, fashion, beautiful surroundings, perfect ambience is all that matters a lot to them and Venus Mars conjunction makes them just more appealing and attractive – a woman having Taurus Ascendant and Venus Mars conjunction is just too hot to handle – only someone who resonates with her – can actually win her heart! These fellows are very romantic by heart – bubbling, chatting, joyous by nature. Having a Taurus Ascendant woman as a girlfriend or a wife is indeed a great blessing – because they can make your world – a much beautiful world!

Ideally for Mercury and Venus ruled Ascendants – Mars Venus conjunction works wonders, however there is one more Ascendant that often becomes a great place for Venus Mars conjunction and that is the Ascendant – ARIES.

Aries Ascendant – These are bossy people – they like to dominate and they are simply brilliant when it comes to adventures and sports. They are courageous beings and they will not waste a minute to express their feelings especially if they are in love with you! They will simply express their heart out – saying “I LOVE YOU” is not difficult for these fellows – they are Martians – they like to keep it STRAIGHT. SHORT and SWEET is their motto and then whether it is LOVE or HATE – they are quick to express themselves! And when it comes to SEX – then too they are very quick – they like to get in action and they know what you want when it comes to satisfying your sexual desires!

Venus Mars conjunction makes these Aries Ascendant fellows emotionally intense and unfortunately they experience many breakups – until one day they finally settle with the love of their life!

For other 7 Ascendants – Venus Mars conjunction needs certain remedies, otherwise this conjunction can simply drive them crazy in the matters of love relationships or if the chart is too bad then also they may get dragged into multiple sexual relationships!

Always remember – and I specifically say this to my close followers – that don’t ask what happens when Venus Mars come together, instead ask yourself – WHY they have come together in your birth chart!

This – WHY – can move you inwards. This – WHY – can motivate you to embark on the greatest journey – the Journey Within.

Remember – there are many millionaires who die like a beggar -they have everything but they dies with utter disappointment – in a miserable mind state and then there are a few – very few who die like an EMPEROR – in their own bliss.

You have to decide – which way you want to move – for those who have died like an Emperor – have lived like the BUDDHA! So decide – which path you want to walk?

The path of an ignorant being. OR

The path of Buddha.

Your destiny and your future births are purely based on the path you choose – choose wisely.

“यहां सिकंदर भी भिखमंगो की तरह मरते है। सम्राट की तरह मरना हो तो बुद्धों की तरह जीना सीखो।” -ओशो
“Here emperors die like beggars. If you want to die like emperors then learn to live like Buddhas.” – Osho

To live like Buddha – you need to learn to WATCH – to WITNESS.

“You know only two ways; either to be angry, be violent, destructive, or to repress it. You don’t know the third way, and the third way is the way of the buddhas; neither indulge nor repress – watch.”
-OSHO

Just Watch – Just WITNESS – don’t indulge in any act – just watch, just witness – and you will be able to do so only when you become more and more DETACHED.

See how it is all inter-linked – WITNESSING is POSSIBLE only through the state of DETACHMENT!

Detachment means – you can live with your parents, with your family, you can owe dozens of cars and bungalows – BUT – you will not get attached to any of these – you will remain detached.

“Lord Śrī Kṛṣņa said:
O mighty-armed son of Kunti, it is undoubtedly very difficult to curb the restless mind, but it is possible by suitable practice and by detachment.”
– Bhagavad-gītā

Mohan asked “How to get to the state of detachment?”

I hugged Mohan and said “ Nobody has asked this question – hundred of people come to me – but nobody has asked this beautiful question. Since you have asked – I will answer.”

Attachment is of the MIND – remember this. And to reach to the state of detachment – you have to focus on overcoming this MIND. And to do so – the only UPAY – the only SOLUTION – the only REMEDY is chanting the holy Mantra, my dear.

It is through chanting that you slowly slowly move beyond the mind – then you can start experiencing the state of detachment. It all begins with NAAM – that is why Baba Nanak has emphasized on the NAAM – that is why Sant Kabir has stressed on chanting – that is why Saint Tulsidas and many enlightened beings have encouraged us to focus on chanting!

But who wants to listen?

Those few who have listen – who have started chanting the name of the Lord have progressed much faster in life – materially as well as spiritually! Because the power of chanting is immense but only blessed souls can realize this power – can appreciate this power!

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

Life is simple – my fellows. It is your MIND that complicates Life. And to control and overcome this monkey MIND – the only way is to chant – only through chanting can you pacify the restless mind.

“(KIRAT KARO)
WORK HARD AND HONESTLY
(NAAM JAPPO)
ALWAYS REMEMBER GOD
(WANND CHHAKO)
SHARE WITH THE NEEDY”
-GURU NANAK

Venus Mars comes together because – for many past births you have been too focused on sexuality – on physical beauty – on physical appearances – but this birth you can work on overcoming these traits of your many past repeats – by starting chanting regularly – with consistency and devotion.

There is much more to share but for now – enough. My sharing is only for those blessed souls – who follow ME, who CONNECT with ME, and who carry a pure heart. To such souls – my doors are always open – but only for these selective souls who understand the language of heart.

‘The mind has a dilemma. It is afraid of change, deeper change, yet the mind is attracted to life, which is change. Don’t be mixed up in all that business. You merely observe, casually, passively and keep your attention inside your Heart.’
– Mooji

Your heart is beautiful – your heart knows the way – what comes between is the MIND.

Mind is the most difficult prison – a meditative being’s focus should be in breaking this prison by focusing more and more on our heart – until one day the heart opens up and you start experiencing the beyond – the unseen – the divine!

“You have to keep breaking your heart until it opens”
-Rumi

Love to all my followers and readers. Stay blessed and remember to meditate every day. Chant the holy mantra and focus on your breathing – remember – it is only through consistent efforts that you can attain self-growth.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

At a given moment — millions of babies are born with Saturn Mars conjunction across this vast human world. So does that mean that every Saturn Mars conjunction person will do bad? Does that mean that this conjunction is an unholy conjunction? The answer is a big NO.

We all have a sharp edge knife in our house. But it all depends on which place the knife is kept? If the knife is placed in the Kitchen — then it becomes a great asset. But if the same knife is placed in the bedroom or living room then it can cause harm! So you see the Knife is NOT at fault — it all depends on where the Knife is placed — with whom it is placed.

Similarly Saturn Mars conjunction work. Yes — it is a sharp edge knife but you CANNOT generalize it as bad because it all depends on where this “knife” is placed — how it is aspectes — which house lordship it beholds — so many details go into it before you conclude whether the ‘knife’ is useful or harmful.

This July 2021 — in my new upcoming book — I will be sharing many more insights on Mars and Saturn. If you ask me — then for the larger interest of all my followers and readers — I want to specifically mention that from positive perspective if we observe this great energetic conjunction then we will find someone as brave as the FIRST PESHWA — Balaji Vishwanath Bhatt — the father of Bajirao PESHWA. Balaji Vishwanath Bhatt had Saturn Mars conjunction. Hillary Clinton had Saturn Mars conjunction — in fact she was the very first woman to participate in the US Presidential race! This conjunction works wonders in a woman chart — they are rebels, fighters and always happy to take the Lead!

Much more in my new upcoming book…follow me on my Quora Space and always remember that every conjunction has a purpose to it — and so we should not be so fast in judging it rather we should be more of an observant.

“ Observation without Evaluation is the highest form of intelligence.” – Jiddu Krishnamurti

Judging is ugly. Observing is beautiful.

Love to all my readers and followers. Stay safe. Stay blessed and remember — God Loves You.

God is Love. And Love ❤️ is Real. Spread love, share love and you will receive Love. Happiness is NOT readymade — it comes from your own actions!

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
