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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

In the ancient Indian context (Sanatana Dharma) – Lord Rama is the most ideal husband. And there is a very significant reason for this.

The reason is – His Ek-Patni (one-wife) commitment!

In the whole history of Indian Mythology – it is only Lord Rama who was committed to ONE WIFE – he never married twice – he never had a SECOND WIFE or THIRD WIFE or many more wives as other Hindu Lords had!

Lord Ganesha had more than one wife.

Lord Krishna had more than one wife.

Lord Shiva had more than one wife.

Lord Vishnu had more than one wife.

However it is only Lord Rama who had one wife – he was totally committed to his consort – Sita. He never married twice – he remained committed to his first wife – Sita!

Many people across this human world read the holy scripture “Ramayana”. But many are not aware that there exists many versions of Ramayana – the most known are “Tulsi Ramayana” written by the great Saint Tulsidas and the much realistic Ramayana – written by the great Sage – Valmiki!

Tulsidas loved Rama so much that he cannot mention even the slightest weak point of Rama! However Valmiki has been able to do so – because he was not a devotee of Rama and so Saint Valmiki – in Valmiki Ramayana mentions that before getting married to Sita – Rama had seen her in a garden and at that moment itself he had fallen in love! So the love between Rama and Sita was a first sight love!

Valmiki narrates that Rama comes to the city where Sita lives and wandering in a garden – sees Sita and falls in love with her. This is inconceivable to us – but it is a reality. Love happened to Rama before marriage. Marriage came afterward just as a supplement to love. To Sita too, love happened the moment she saw this young man – Rama.

– Osho

The marriage that happened between Rama and Sita was indeed a Love Marriage!

But the common man cannot digest this fact – and so Tulsidas had to do some modifications – so that it goes well with the common man.

When you understand that Rama Sita’s marriage is based on LOVE – Deep Love – you will realize why Rama never had to marry twice – he couldn’t because he was so much in love with Sita!

The whole point of this sharing is that you understand that the FIRST MARRIAGE is extremely significant than the SECOND MARRIAGE!

“How?” asked Mohan.

First Marriage is signified by the 7th house.

However Second Marriage is signified by 11th house!

And 11th house is the house of DESIRE.

You see – and RAHU is DESIRE. Along with Saturn – Rahu also rules the sign Aquarius and the sign Aquarius falls in the 11th house of Kaal Purush Kundali!

Now the obvious question would be “First marriage also has manifested out of desire – so why first marriage is not under RAHU?”

Because – FIRST is FIRST. You never were married until you married for the FIRST TIME in life! So here you are NOT crossing the line – here your desire has manifested but NOT by crossing your boundaries!

However when you fell in love with another woman – and eventually marry her by divorcing your first wife who is still NOT dead – then you are crossing your boundary and RAHU signify all that which crosses the BOUNDARY – Rahu loves all that which BREAKS THE RULES – BREAKS THE TRADITION. Rahu signify all that is considered as immoral or unethical – and when you get into extra-marital relationship with another woman – then you are certainly following on the path of RAHU! And when you get married with that woman – you have entered the RAHU DOMAIN – and that is how it is observed by many scholars and pundits that – SECOND MARRIAGE has failed many times – than the THIRD MARRIAGE!

THIRD MARRIAGE comes under the domain of Mercury!

The 3rd house in the Kaal Purush Kundali is ruled by Gemini – the sign of Mercury. And 3rd house signify the third marriage.

Many times it happens that second marriage fails but third marriage succeeds. In fact I have met men and women who have found their third marriage – a turning point of their life!

When Mercury is well -placed and Yogakaraka then third marriage works very well!

So third marriage is generally not a problem – but the real problem, the real pain point is the SECOND MARRIAGE – I call it a RAHUISH MARRIAGE – because Rahu signify Second Marriage!

From statistics and historic records – even though SECOND MARRIAGE has always been more problematic and the cause of many miseries – still there are few men who have enjoyed their SECOND MARRIAGE than the FIRST! So how that happens?

It happens when RAHU is well-placed and YOGAKARAK. So when a man has a RAHU placed in positive NAKSHTRA and the NAKSHATRA LORD is also positively placed and is also YOGAKARAK then to such a man – the second wife proves beneficial in many ways!

But the buck doesn’t stop here.

Having a positively placed RAHU and RAHU’s Naksatra Lord is first part of the story – the second part is what decides the final outcome.

“What is the second part?” asked Mohan

The second and most important part is in which ASCENDANT sign the native is born?

RAHU dislikes the DHARMA SIGNS (Zodiac Signs that signify religion).

Rahu dislikes the MOKSHA SIGNS (Zodiac signs that signify liberation).

DHARMA SIGNS are LEO, SAGGITARRIUS, ARIES

MOKSHA SIGNS are CANCER, SCORPIO, PISCES

So SECOND WIFE can prove beneficial for only those natives who are born on the following Ascendant Signs:

1. TAURUS
2. GEMINI
3. VIRGO
4. LIBRA
5. CAPRICORN
6. AQUARIUS

So the basic ground – the basic foundation for these 6 ascendant signs is suitable for RAHU to play its second innings (second wife). Even if RAHU placement is not great still if the ascendant is one of these six zodiac sign then somehow the native can survive the second marriage!

However the challenge of second marriage is for those who are born on the following ASCENDANT SIGNS:

1. ARIES
2. CANCER
3. LEO
4. SCORPIO
5. SAGGITARRIUS
6. PISCES

Now imagine if RAHU is not placed well then how terribly the native belonging to these above Ascendant signs will have to suffer in their second marriage?

Marriage is not just limited to love and sex.

Relationship is limited to love and sex. Relationship brings no responsibilities. But Marriage brings many responsibilities. And so the very basic secret of judging whether your marriage will work or not is found in the placement of Saturn in your birth chart!

Saturn means Responsibilities. You feel burdened while carrying out your responsibilities when you do a certain work or certain thing because it is your duty.

However when you do a certain thing out of LOVE – you will feel NOT burdened but rather happy and lighter!

Marriage becomes A BURDEN when you take it as a part of your DUTY. However the same Marriage can become a great source of strength, a great source of motivation when your marriage is made of that special ingredient called LOVE!

First Marriage fails. Second Marriage fails – not because LOVE fails. LOVE NEVER FAILS. Lovers fail.

First Marriage can be arranged marriage or love marriage however SECOND MARRIAGE is mostly found to be LOVE MARRIAGE and there is absolutely no second thought to this fact.

The real beauty is in exploring the THIRD MARRIAGE!

THIRD MARRIAGE is generally born out of the quest for intellectualism. You are no more interested in finding a good looking, hot and sexy partner – you are now more interested in finding a partner who can co-relate with your intellectualism, who is a good communicator, who has that mercurial flair – who is a good conversationalist – and basically one who is able to stimulate your brain with intellectual talks! It is all MERCURY – and so it may not bring sexual satisfaction but that’s fine because now – during the third marriage you are more interested in finding a partner who understands and resonates with your thought pattern!

Thought leadership, thought pattern – all of these comes under the domain of Mercury. So over all third marriage has less MASALA (spice) than the SECOND MARRIAGE!

Second marriage or second wife is full of spice – full of stories and shocks and surprises! There is always a surprise element in second marriage!

First marriage is indeed the foundation of your marriage journey! You may marry several times but the SIGNIFICANCE of first marriage always remains above all other marriages and that is indeed a fact that cannot be denied!

That is why – a KING may marry several beautiful women – but the FIRST WIFE always becomes the main consort – the main QUEEN!

Now we will see the reason of failures in marriage:

FIRST MARRIAGE FAILURE REASON:

1. RAHU/KETU – MARS/VENUS placed in 7th house. OR
2. Seventh house LORD’s Nakshatra Lord placed in sixth, eighth or twelfth house. OR
3. Seventh house LORD’s Nakshatra Lord owns sixth, eighth or twelfth house
4. SATURN’s third aspect on seventh house followed by MARS seventh or fourth aspect
5. Seventh house caught between cruel evil planets of between the owners of sixth, eighth and twelfth house

Along with these primary reasons – many more reasons can become the cause of DIVORCE in FIRST MARRIAGE.

SECOND MARRIAGE FAILURE REASON:

• RAHU is not placed well and on top of that if the Ascendant sign is ARIES, CANCER, LEO, SCORPIO, SAGGITARRIUS, PISCES
• Eleventh house Lord’s Nakshatra Lord is Rahu or is placed in 12th or 6th or 8th house. So for example – Eleventh house (Gemini) Lord is Mercury. And Mercury is placed in Rahu’s Nakshatra and Rahu is in 12th, 6th, 8th then the second marriage will fail or will continue to cause troubles.
• Eleventh house is caught up between 10th and 12th house which hosts evil cruel planets.
• Saturn’s third aspect on 11th house or Mars fourth or seventh aspect on 11th house
• Eleventh house LORD’s Nakshatra Lord owns sixth, eighth or twelfth house

So apart from these there are many more reasons that can make the second marriage a nightmare!

Remind me of a beautiful incident when Prince Siddhartha (the future Gautama Buddha) decides to leave his Palace, his wife, his children and walk into the forest. It was a dark night – Prince Siddhartha asks his driver (charioteer) to leave him at the border of his kingdom. His driver’s name is Channa. And Channa loved his master – it was the most difficult moment for him – to leave the master – he was perfectly aware that once gone – the master (Prince Siddharta) is never going to return. His eyes became wet. Just as he leaves Prince Siddharta at the border of his kingdom – and the Prince gets down from his chariot – Channa says “I am just a driver, and also this is not my business to interfere. Your order is your order, so I have brought you to the boundary of your kingdom. But if you don’t mind let me say a few words. What are you doing? This is what everyone aspires to be – a Prince like you! You were born as Prince. Why are you leaving everything? Remember the Palace, remember your beautiful wife, remember your father, the kingdom, and the happiness it brings?”

Prince Siddhartha looked into the driver’s eyes and said “I cannot understand what you are talking about. I have not left any palace behind or any kingdom. I have left ONLY a nightmare. The word renunciation means you are leaving something valuable behind. I have not renounced anything. There was nothing to be renounced. The whole thing is on fire. It was a nightmare. And I thank you because you have helped me to come out of it.”

And Prince Siddhartha leaves for the beyond… Meditate on HIS words – “There was NOTHING to renounce.”

And never ever does he comes back to his kingdom. He comes only when he is totally transformed – and have become the Buddha – Gautama Buddha.

And when he comes back , the whole kingdom comes to see him, all lanes and all roads are crowded – just to have a glimpse of the man whose name has become phenomenal – whose name has been the inspiration for millions and millions – and they all came except one woman – the wife of Gautama Buddha (Prince Siddharta)!

Her name was Yashodhara. And she remained in her Palace. Of course, she was mad at him. One night without telling her – without any intimation – this man had left her. It was natural for her to not to come to welcome the man with whom the whole world was in love! But not her, she remained unmoved. Buddha arrives at the Palace. He looks around, nothing has changed, he smiles. Goes to Yashodhara and Yashodhara is very angry, almost every cell of her body is boiling in anger – and now before her is standing a man – her husband – who had left her 12 years ago – Gautama Buddha!

Now, what to say! But she said – she was so much angry that she had absolutely no resistance – she just burst out with anger and said “Couldn’t you have trusted me? You could have said that you wanted to go, and I would have been the last woman in the world to prevent you. Couldn’t you have trusted me even that much?’

And she was crying. Twelve years of anger! And this man had escaped like a thief in the middle of the night – suddenly, without giving a single hint to her.

Buddha looked into her eyes and apologized. The master has no Ego, the real master understands the pain more than anybody in this whole world!

And so Buddha apologized to her – and said “It was out of non-understanding. I was ignorant, I was not aware. But now I am aware and I know – that’s why I have come back. You have helped me tremendously. Forget those old things, now there is no point in thinking about ‘spilt milk’. Look at me! Something great has happened. I have come home. And I felt my first duty was towards you: to come, and to convey, and to share my experience with you.”

And the words were so beautiful, so true, so deep – that they moved the heart of Yashodhara – she could see that this man has really changed – that this is something else – that this man is something else – His glow, His Aura, His peace, His words – she could no more control herself, she burst out in tears, the whole palace moved – everybody came running and they all could see Yashodhara falling at the Buddha’s feet – rarely has this happened in the history of the human world – a wife ACCEPTING her Husband as her Guru! And with her tearful eyes flowing through the Buddha’s feet, she says

“ Initiate me, I want to be your disciple.”

Truth has tremendous strength – and for a man who himself is the epitome of Truth – what is not possible? Everything is possible – everything is possible! Buddha raises her and gives her a warm hugh – a new relation was born – not of husband and wife – but of master and disciple!

As long as third marriage is concerned – there is very less chance of divorce because you are already tired – you already had enough – you also cross your 40 by then and so as mentioned previously – third marriage is based on intellectualism and also since it comes under the domain of Mercury – a practical perspective is more in dominance than otherwise. In your FIRST marriage – you were excited – it always happens – when you are driving for the FIRST TIME – you are excited. Then the excitement starts fading – then you want to drive something more exciting – something more adventurous – you are attracted towards unconventional ways of life – and that is how you jump into your second marriage – the RAHUISH MARRIAGE!

And then when you get many kicks in second marriage – you still don’t give up. You marry for the third time – but this time you are not very excited – you are no more moved by the outer appearances – you are looking for certain DEPTH – certain INTELLECTUALISM – certain level of UNDERSTANDING – and so the third marriage works well than the second marriage!

NOW – let this be very clear that SECOND MARRIAGE SUCCESS or FAILURES is very subjective – though I have shared the essence of it and so don’t jump to conclusions – don’t generalize the outcomes. As mentioned – second marriage can work provided RAHU is beneficial and you are born on ASCENDANT SIGN that is suitable to RAHU in your chart.

Mohan asked “But tell me – is it necessary to get married?”

For true lovers – marriage is NOT necessary. Marriage becomes necessary when you want LEGAL COMMITMENT and when legality comes – freedom is lost! So many couples remain in ‘failed marriages ‘- they are afraid of stepping out of the wedlock – because they have made friendship with their old friend called called – MISERY.

You Don’t Want To Loose Your Old Friend – The Misery – You Have Invested Too Much Into False – Hence The Fear To Be Exposed-To Be True – To Be Naked As You Are. – Osho

Never suppress your feelings – never tolerate injustice – never stay in a marriage that SUFFOCATES you – never stay in a marriage that steals your FREEDOM.

LOVE blossoms only when there is FREEDOM.

Love Is A By Product Of Freedom; It Is The Overflowing Joy Of Freedom, It Is The Fragrance Of Freedom. First The Freedom Has To Be There, Then Love Follows. – Osho

Marriage is just a legal union – a validation – a legal commitment. Marriage definitely steal your freedom – because now you are in a lock – a wed-lock!

But for true lovers – marriage is not necessary. LOVE needs NO CERTIFICATION. For true lovers – legal commitment is not necessary – because LOVE itself is a commitment!

Love Is An Unconditional Commitment To An Imperfect Person. To Love Somebody Isn’t Just A Strong Feeling. It Is A Decision, A Judgement And A Promise. 

Marriage is an outcome of FEAR. The doubt – will my lover remain with me forever – gives birth to the union called MARRIAGE because MARRIAGE brings legal compulsions. Marriage is a promise of a secured future!

Marriage is an effort to legalize love. It is out of fear. It is thinking about the future, about the tomorrows. Man always thinks of the past and the future, and because of this constant thinking about past and future, he destroys the present. And the present is the only reality there is. One has to live in the present. The past has to die and has to be allowed to die… – Osho

In reality divorce rates are high – very high in India as well as outside India. In country like Singapore – there are many dating sites but you will rarely find a matrimonial site! That is how poor state of marriage is in Singapore!

Marriage brings compulsive commitment. LOVE brings natural commitment! There is a difference – that is why when it comes to LOVE – I always say – its different!

The logical folks may say that LOVE is BLIND – but in reality only LOVE has EYES.

People Say Love Is Blind Because They Do Not Know What Love Is. I Say Unto You, Only Love Has Eyes; Other Than Love, Everything Is Blind. – Osho

One day Mohan asked “How come diehard lovers when get married – they start quarrelling and eventually step into a divorce?”

The answer is simple – as long as you are in a love relationship – there is absolutely NO legality involved – there is NO compulsion – there is NO responsibility – there is no third person other than you and your lover! So basically there is ABSOLUTE FREEDOM – and LOVE simply blossoms in the garden of FREEDOM. Before getting into the marriage wed-lock – you continue to blossom like a beautiful flower….

But when marriage happens – the flowering stops – because now many people become a part of your love relationship – (mother-in-law, father-in-law, sister-in-law, brother-in-law….) the list is unending – when so many ‘in-laws’ are mixed in your sweet love relationship – there is bound to be certain clashes – clashes of ego that eventually starts impacting your love relationship – and that is how many love marriages fail – when compared to arrange marriages!

Arranged marriages are pure deals. You step in an arranged marriage – with the mindset that there will be many stake holders in your marriage – and again since there is no love involved and you are complete stranger – it becomes easy to digest all that is thrown at you – after marriage!

Yesterday someone had asked “What is the secret of remaining happy and married”

It is difficult. I cannot answer this question. Jesus also cannot answer this question. Neither could Buddha nor could Mahavira. Because if they would have found the answer – then they would not have stayed unmarried!

Jesus knew the secret of the kingdom of God, but he did not know the secret of remaining happy in marriage. He remained unmarried. Mahavira, Lao Tzu Chuang Tzu, they all remained unmarried for the simple reason that there is no secret; otherwise these people would have discovered it. They could discover the ultimate – marriage is not such a big thing, it is very shallow – they even fathomed God, but they could not fathom marriage. – Osho

So marriage is a very shallow thing – you can jump into a shallow lake – but it is a lake, it is not a flowing river and it also lacks depth – so you may not enjoy much swimming in this shallow lake called marriage!

But many do enjoy – or they pretend to enjoy – whatever the case – the choice is yours – get married or stay unmarried – doesn’t matter really when you embark on the greatest journey – the journey within!

In fact I encourage everybody to get married – because that is how they can complete one circle – they can understand through their married life experiences on whether marriage is worth it!

Experience matters above all. You may read hundred of books about marriage – but those hundred books cannot enlighten you – you may fantasize on having a beautiful wife or a handsome husband – but all those fantasies are not worthy before you ACTUAL EXPERIENCE OF MARRIAGE!

So don’t fear of getting married – don’t fear of getting into a vicious circle of bad marriage experiences – because these bad experience can become the foundation of your life – on which you can build your tower of success!

Rock Bottom Became The Solid Foundation On Which I Rebuilt My Life.- J.K. Rowling

J.K. Rowling had a very bad marriage experience – but those experiences and after going through a painful divorce – she rose to great heights of success and fame!

Always remember – each experience that you go through can and does transform you into a much evolved person – only if you are willing to learn from your experiences – only if you are willing to turn inwards and self-realize that you are NOT a pigeon but an EAGLE who dares to fly high in spite of many challenges and negative situations!

An Eagle Uses The Negative Energy Of A Storm To Fly Even Higher. – Eric Thomas

Be like an EAGLE. Remember – You are born to experience all aspects of human life because only then will you evolve – only then will you mature in the true sense!

There was a young man – he sets out in search of a real master. On his way – while walking through the forest – he stumbles upon an old man – and the old man was beneath the banyan tree – he was in his own bliss – there was something about this old man – His Glow, His Aura – but the young man could not relate with the old man’s divinity – the young man stepped ahead and said “ You look like a wanderer – you must have wandered all over the planet. Could you please tell me – where can I find my master – my Guru?”

The old man smiled. His smile was so deep – so sweet and so mysterious that the young man wondered what must be the reason for such a beautiful smile. Before he could ask – the old man said “ You guessed it right. I am a wandered and I have been through many places on this planet. I will tell you the way to find the master….you go straight and the you take right and continue to walk until you find the master.”

The young man was very happy. He thanked the old man and followed his direction….

20 years passed and still the young man was not able to find the real master – the real Guru! Devastated and disappointed – he decided to return back home….

On his way back home – he found the same old man sitting beneath the same Banyan tree. The old many had become much older but still the charm. the grace, the aura, the glow – everything was the same! Suddenly the young man realized that it is this same old man who used to appear in his dreams. For last twenty years often in his dreams he would see the same banyan tree and the same old man – was it is a sign – was it a message – the young man’s eyes were filled with tears……he realized his mistake – he rushed towards the old man – touched the old man’s feet and started crying like a child….

He said “ Why? Why you never told me that YOU are my MASTER! That you are my GURU. Why?…..”

The old man – the master opened his eyes – there was so much love – so much grace in his eyes that the young man was deeply moved. The master said “ Because you were blind. I was before you but you couldn’t recognize Me….”

The man said “But all these 20 years are wasted……”

The compassionate master smiled and said “No that is not right. Those twenty years have helped you gain the ‘EYES’ through which you have NOW recognized me. To gain these ‘EYES’ – experience was necessary. All the FAKE people and FAKE saints that you came across these twenty years have given you a new eyesight – you have matured – you have evolved and that is why it is NOW that you have recognized me. And look at me – I haven’t moved a bit – I have been waiting for you – from last twenty years!”

Listening to these deeply moving words – the man simply burst out in tears…..the master moved his hand on his back and said “Why you cry – I was always WITH YOU.”

Experiences of all kind is necessary so as to get a new EYESIGHT through which you can recognize the real and drop the fake!

In this life you will be able to CONNECT with real authentic fellows – only when you have started turning inwards – when you have started meditating with love and devotion.

Love to all my readers.

Stay blessed. And remember to meditate every day.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Rahu simply blocks your consciousness, your awareness. When Rahu Mahadasha begins – you fall in many traps because you cannot “see” – you become “blind” – meaning the dust of ignorance covers up your eyes and you cannot make out what is right and what is wrong in your life? Have you ever tried putting your little finger before your eyes – try it and you will see that one little finger blocks the whole world – you cannot ‘see’ anything because the finger has blocked your VISION. Similarly – RAHU blocks your vision. It is a very unfortunate event for a senior executive such as Managing Director, CEO or COO because they are hired to provide a vision to the organization and if they themselves are going through Rahu Mahadasha then how can they provide a vision when they themselves have become blind by Rahu Mahadasha! You all will be surprised to know that nowadays – for hiring CEOs, and COOs – large Indian organization heads request for birth details of the the candidate before hiring him or her as CEO or COO. Further you all will be shocked that a few candidates for such top positions have been rejected simply because they were running through RAHU MAHADASHA. During Rahu Mahadasha some earn money and fame but by the time Rahu Mahadasha is over – they end up losing everything they had earned during Rahu Mahadasha – because RAHU creates illusion – and so whatever He offers during his tenure is also like a smoke – and a smoke doesn’t stay for long – it fades away! Interestingly Osho Rajnesh was arrested, imprisoned and was forced to leave the United States during his Rahu Mahadasha. He attained fame during beginning of Rahu Mahadasha and suffered a lot by the end of Rahu Mahadasha. Osho was indeed the greatest soul – a honest fellow but the politics of his Ashram and his managers ultimately caused much embarrassment leading to his imprisonment. He was later released and then he arrived back in India and established his Ashram in Pune which came to be known as Osho Ashram.

Loss of dear ones, loss of property, loss of happiness is often seen during Rahu Mahadasha. Osho lost his grandmother (Nani) and his father during his Rahu Mahadasha. At the age of 14 – I lost my father – who once was the most famous journalist and novelist of his times. Long back before my father died – my mother had left me when I was 4 yrs old. With no father and no mother – my journey of life begin from the age of 14 – exactly when I was in the very midst of Rahu Mahadasha!

Rahu leaves no one – suffering is the second word for Rahu Mahadasha – but if you are an evolved soul – if you are taking efforts in turning inwards – if you are a faithful man – if you are a man of heart – and most importantly if you are a GRATEFUL man – then the difficult period of RAHU MAHADASHA becomes the core foundation of your life on which you build the grand tower of your success!

We will now see what happens during the Antardasha of Rahu Mahadasha:

Now lets begins:

RAHU MAHADASHA – RAHU ANTARDASHA (RAHU – RAHU)

This period is the most unfortunate time of your life. Although you may get married or get a job or earn a few thousand dollars still there will be absence of happiness in your life. Life a lunatic you will continue to roam from one temple to another seeking answers to your problems but you will not find any solutions and if your horoscope is too poor in quality then you may also get trapped in some scam or scandal. Or people will simply cheat you and you will not come to know until this Antardasha period is over. This is a period when all your desires start driving you crazy and in this craziness you commit many mistakes – some serious mistakes for which you may have to pay heavily in the coming days – as the picture of Rahu Mahadasha has just begin.

RAHU MAHADASHA – GURU ANTARDASHA (RAHU – GURU)

Guru signify Vivek. Vivek means conscience. The English dictionary defines the word – conscience as “a person’s moral sense of right and wrong.” Rahu attacks this very MORAL SENSE and so there is a high possibility that you may do something that is against ethics, against the morality of this human life. Many extra-marital affairs, financial scams, exploitation of sub-ordinates in the office – many such events happens during this Antar-dasha – simply beacuse your MORAL SENSE is now blocked by the smoke of RAHU – remember the SMOKE of RAHU has been related with the SMOKE that comes from a burning body (Pyre) in the Samshan Ghat (graveyard). And so it is possible that in case if anybody is doing BLACK MAGIC on you then it becomes very easy for them to target you – since the whole purpose of black magic is to first BLOCK YOUR MORAL SENSE and if your DASHA itself is of RAHU GURU then the job of the black magician becomes easy and chances are that he may succeed in damaging your career, or your family life. The very FIRST GURU is your FATHER. And so manytime loss of father – death of father or certain harm to father is also seen during this Antardasha.

RAHU MAHADASHA – SATURN ANTARDASHA (RAHU – SATURN)

Saturn is all about having the right JUDGEMENT. During this Antardasha – you tend to make wrong judgements – which manifests in making wrong decisions. Chronic health issues – damage to bone or bone related diseases often occur during this period. Problems from old people – or problems to old people in your family is also likely. The most significant result of this period is that you often feel that you DON’T GET WHAT YOU DESERVE. Whether you are working in office or whether you are a businessman or whether you are a housewife – you feel that GOD is not fair with you and you are being sidelined. You seek justice but justice never happens with you resulting in utter frustration and depression in your life. The most dangerous possibility is that you may indulge in doing BAD KARMA – meaning doing illegal things to acheive your goals however such bad karma scales down the quality of your future life – you become a sinner who seem to have lost his path and has no guide to show him the path.

RAHU MAHADASHA – MERCURY ANTARDASHA (RAHU – MERCURY)

VINASH KAAL VIPAREET BUDDHI – it means – WHEN THE TIME OF YOUR DOWNFALL HAS COME – YOU TEND TO THINK IN THE WRONG WAY. That is exactly what happens during RAHU MERCURY Antardasha – especially if your natal Mercury is Retrograde or poorly placed in your birth chart. And there is absolutely no second though to this fact. BADHA (meaning black magic attacks) often damage your life more during this period because black magic is based on spells and spells come under the regime of Mercury – the planet of vocabulary and communication! So stay alert if you already are suffering because of black magic – and AVOID seeking any help from any TANTRIK or BLACK MAGICIAN because they will only loot you and cheat you while like a fool you may continue to ASSUME that you are being helped when in reality they will continue to EXPLOIT you. Miscommunication – break-up with your lover or divorce with your marriage partner is often very common during this period because you simply continue to think in the wrong way – in the negative way – your whole thought process is shadowed by Rahu and so you make wrong decisions – you take wrong steps and then later you REGRET for your foolishness. This is a time when you will NOT listen to anyone – you will live with an attitude of “MY WAY or HIGHWAY” – and this ultimately does bring many failures and frustrations in your life.

RAHU MAHADASHA – KETU ANTARDASHA (RAHU – KETU)

Ketu is such a beautiful spiritual energy. But when RAHU KETU Antardasha begins – the good qualities of Ketu – such as introspection, turning inwards, letting go – forgiving – all of these qualities somehow don’t tend to work anymore in your life. You get dragged in the outside world – and you forget to look within. You start blaming the whole world for your stupidities – you remain no more a Buddha – you become a Hitler. The spiritual side of your life gets badly impacted during this tenure – either you get so busy in your work or you tend to get distracted by the outside world that you stop spending time with yourself – you stop meditation or your meditation seem to have lost the depth it had before this period begin. KETU is the ultimate flag of RIGHTEOUSNESS – KETU represents the DHARMA – that is why in the sign of Sagittarius – Ketu is exalted. While in Gemini – the exact opposite sign to Sagittarius – Rahu is exalted. Gemini is more interested in sex, communication, chit chat, intellectualism whereas Sagittarius is more interested in the higher values of life – DHARMA – the traditions and the rituals and the higher knowledge. And so when Rahu Ketu Antardasha begins – the doors to higher knowledge – the significance of higher values – the importance of tradition and rituals is often lost – either the person doesn’t get time to perform religious ceremonies or he seem to have lost interest in performing religious rituals or seeking higher knowledge. Reading books, listening to spiritual discourses – learning something new – all of these takes a backseat – the person just seem to have lost himself – he operates like a robot – the humane touch is lost – it is simply lost.

RAHU MAHADASHA – VENUS ANTARDASHA (RAHU – VENUS)

Romantic relationships, or love marriage often happens during this tenure. Now don’t ask me – whether the relationship lasts or the marriage lasts for long – the answer is based on individual charts however one thing is sure the person does get many sexual temptations during this period. In worst cases – one also becomes a MAJNU (madly in love) who can go to any extent to win his or her love. Intense sex affairs, full of romanticism is a common trademark of this period. If the chart is poor in quality then many women and men get cheated in love affairs – and then the feeling of being cheated engulf them so deeply that they lose their focus and when focus is lost – life also is lost – and that is how many end up in utter disappointments in their relationships which impact their career growth. No matter how much you tell them to stay away from love affairs – it is of no use as they get dragged into the gulley of love affairs with no return ticket. Extra-marital relationships often mushroom during this period – which later makes the natives life no less then hell. Issues with marriage partner is very common during this period.

RAHU MAHADASHA – SUN ANTARDASHA (RAHU – SUN)

This is the most dangerous period – because SUN is your CONSCIOSNESS. And when Rahu Sun period begins – you seem to become the center figure of a scam or a scandal or a dispute. This is because you do certain things without bringing awareness to your being. And when you do a certain thing in the absence of awareness – you end up committing a sin. And this sin eventually makes you naked – meaning you are exposed and you don’t know where to hide! However for men and women who are innocent – this period is like a litmus test. You are framed by your enemies – you are punished for a crime that you NEVER did! So you become a scape goat – you are trapped – framed. This period often leads to certain health issues – or issues with your boss at work. The worst part of this period is the extreme rise in your EGO – your EGO become so FAT that it becomes difficult for others to deal with you. By the time this period ends – the fat balloon of EGO bursts – leading you in utter embarrassment and depression.

RAHU MAHADASHA – MOON ANTARDASHA (RAHU – MOON)

MIND becomes your master. You become a slave of your mind. And MIND is a dangerous master – and so this MIND drives you crazy. You do weird things – you hurt others by your actions and behavior – you live in your illusions and you just don’t know anything about the realities of your life. During this period – you are lost in your daydreams. You continue to imagine, assume things which are NOT real in the true sense. You think your wife is cheating on your back – or you think your girlfriend is cheating on your back – and then you start fighting and in turn make your life more miserable. Doubts and doubts is the trademark of this period. You become very doubtful in almost all aspects of your life – be it at work, at home or at public places – you just can’t stop doubting. Doubt is slow-poison and so you yourself make your life miserable by continuing to doubt everybody around you. FEAR engulfs you – you fear of losing your friends and the precious assets of your life. Overall this is a period when you live in doubt and fear. Feeling insecure is very common during this period.

RAHU MAHADASHA – MARS ANTARDASHA (RAHU – MARS)

Sex is on fire. If you are young then definitely – this is a period when you feel more hungry for sex. Many passionate relationships happen during this time which are purely based on satisfying sexual hunger. Infatuation is common during these times. Mars signify sexual energy. Rahu is Desire – and so desire for sexual satisfaction is something that wells up during this period. Misuse of authority – misuse of position is very common during this period. If the horoscope if of poor quality then often you end up exploiting your sub-ordinates. Feeling of being demotivated is often seen during this period. Overall this is the last stage of Rahu Mahadasha – and so the native has already gone through many damages – with this one last straw of damage – finally he ends up with this 18 years of Rahu Mahadasha.

And now that you have learned about this 18 years of Rahu Mahadasha – for the larger interest of my close followers I will now provide certain EFFECTIVE remedies for OVERCOMING RAHU MAHADASHA :

TWELVE REMEDIES TO BE FOLLOWED DURING THE ENTIRE RAHU MAHADASHA OF 18 YEARS:

1. TRY TO CHANGE YOUR DIET. BECOME PURE VEGETARIAN AND IF POSSIBLE AVOID EATING GARLIC AS GARLIC IS BORN FROM THE BLOOD OF THE DEMON RAHU. BHAGAVAN RAMANA MAHARSHI SPECIFICALLY MENTION THIS IN ONE OF HIS INTERACTION WITH HIS DISCIPLES.

2. VISIT GOSHALA – (place where cows are kept) and feed cows Groundnuts mixed with Jaggery powder every Wednesday

3. VISIT LORD VISHNU OR LORD KRISHNA Mandir every Wednesday

4. REMOVE ALL YOUR OLD CLOTHES (CLOTHES THAT YOU HAVE BEEN USING FOR MORE THAN ONE YEAR)

5. BUY A FRESH SET OF NEW CLOTHES AS WELL AS NEW SET OF INNERWEAR. IN SIMPLE WORDS STOP USING CLOTHES THAT ARE MORE THAT ONE YEAR OLD

6. START VISITING NEARYBY DARGAH (SHRINE) ON THURSDAYS. DARGAH IS DIVINE PLACE WHERE THE REMAINS OF A GREAT SUFI SAINT ARE BURIED. PEOPLE OF ALL FAITH – HINDU, MUSLIM, CHRISTIAN, BUDDHIST VISIT DARGAH. THE MOST FAMOUS DARGAH IS THE DARGAH OF AJMER – KHWAJASAHEB DARGAH. HOWEVER YOU CAN VISIT A NEARBY DARGAH IN YOUR CITY OF VILLAGE. LIGHT AN INCENCE STICK AND SIT FOR MINIMUM 20 MINUTES IN THE DARGAH RECITING THE NAME OF YOUR LORD.

7. DURING THIS PERIOD – YOU SHOULD START WEARING THE PIOUS STONE – SULEMANI HAKIK OF 20 CARATS IN SILVER LOCKET IN YOUR NECK. HOWEVER THIS STONE WORKS ONLY WHEN YOU STOP DRINKING ALCOHOL. SO BEWARE BEFORE WEARING THIS HOLY STONE – FAMOUSLY KNOWN AS SULEMANI HAKIK.

8. AVOID EATING NAMKEEN FOOD SUCH AS SAMOSA OR ANY FRIED FOOD – AS THAT WILL SIMPLY BOOST THE POWER OF RAHU – YOU WILL BECOME MORE RAHUISH. SO EAT SATTVIC FOOD AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE.

9. MAKE A POINT TO VISIT YOUR FAMILY KULDEVI AND KULDEV DURING EACH YEAR OF RAHU MAHADASHA

10.WEAR YELLOW SAPPHIRE OF MINIMUM 5 CARATS IN YOUR RIGHT HAND INDEX FINGER DURING THE ENTIRE RAHU MAHADASHA

11. DO LOBAN EVERYDAY IN YOUR HOUSE. LOBAN IS A HIGHLY PIOUS DIVINE POWDER THAT CREATES A CERTAIN SMOKE WHEN YOU POUR IT ON BURNING CHARCOAL. IT BASICALLY PURIFIES THE VASTU AND IF YOU DO IT REGULARLY THEN GHOSTS, EVIL SPIRITS LEAVE YOUR HOUSE – THUS YOUR HOUSE IS PURIFIED BY THIS GREATEST GIFT OF GOD – LOBAN.

12. RECITE THE HOLY MANTRA : “AUM VISHNAVE NAMAHA” OR “AUM NAMO NARAYANAYA” EVERY DAY FOR MINIMUM 20 MINUTES USING A SPHATIC JAPA MALA.

Always remember – you can overcome this challenging period of Rahu Mahadasha – only if you maintain a POSITIVE PERSPECTIVE towards life and you take the necessary efforts.

“No one succeeds without effort… Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.”
Ramana Maharshi

 

As I myself have lost my father and my home during Rahu Mahadasha – I can understand how difficult this period can be for many of you. However I tell you – that if you remain TRUTHFUL, if you AVOID INDULGING IN EVIL PRACTICES SUCH AS DOING BLACK MAGIC ON OTHERS – if you remain PATIENT and FAITHFUL – then you can sail smoothly through this RAHU MAHADASHA – the scars that you will get during this RAHU MAHADASHA will remind you of the great struggle and difficult times you have been through – those scars will always keep you grounded – will always keep you humble – will always keep you going – if you are a man of heart – if you are a man who carries a heart that is filled with GRATITUDE – if you are a man who always is THANKFUL TO GOD.

Once a few disciple went to Buddha and asked him “Why Ananda is always found to be happy? Why he is your favorite”

And Buddha said “Because he is never worried. He has tremendous faith. He will NEVER complain even if he looses everything – even he becomes homeless, even if loses everything in his life – still he will remain grateful – he will say “God – THANK YOU for keeping me ALIVE. Because although I have lost everything – but I haven’t lost my life yet – and what can be more precious than life! And so I am always thankful for keeping me alive.”

That is what makes you a favorite of GOD – and remember GOD always TESTS those whom he LOVES the most. You may wonder – where is God when you are going through the most difficult test of your life – but you don’t know that God is silent and watching you every minute as you go through this litmus test of Rahu Mahadasha.

“WHEN YOU ARE GOING THROUGH DIFFICULTY & WONDER WHERE GOD IS REMEMBER THE TEACHER IS ALWAYS QUIET DURING THE TEST.”
-WNAVISUAL.TUMBLR

HE is silent but HE is not absent. HE is watching you closely – and HE loves you – HE is confident that you will pass this TEST of RAHU MAHADASHA – you have to live up to his expectation – you have to prove that your FAITH is BIGGER than your fear.

“LET YOUR FAITH BE BIGGER THAN YOUR FEARS”

 

The solution to overcoming RAHU MAHADASHA is simple – the more you shift to a pious lifestyle – a SATVIC way of life – the more GOD will make a way for you where there seems to be no way…..

“God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me

He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way…..” – Don Moen

 

Live with faith and patience – that is what Sai Baba asks you to offer “SHRADDHA (FAITH) AUR (AND) SABBURI (PATIENCE).

“I want something from you.. Can you give it to me? It requires big heart to give… Weak people can’t give..I want faith and Patience (Shraddha or Saburi) from you.. When you give me these two then you have to walk on path of this.. Now ask yourself that are you strong enough to give me” -Sai Baba

 

Only strong people can live with FAITH and PATIENCE. They are not the flowers of the mango tree that fall due to the turbulent winds – they are the flowers who STAY ON while the WIND FLOWS and because they STAY ON – the eventually bear sweet fruits! The master also TESTS you to see if you are an ordinary mango flower or a special flower that bears fruit!

“I WILL TEST YOU
I will challenge your faith..
I will shake your belief system.. to see whether you are the flower, on the mango tree, that falls with turbulent winds, or you are the flower that holds on firm, despite all storms, and finally bears fruit.”

 

Take this RAHU MAHADASHA as a TEST that the Master want you to go through – remember – the metal comes out shinning only when it goes through the fire!

The fire of suffering becomes the LIGHT OF CONSCIOUSNESS.

“Suffering cracks open the shell of ego, and then comes a point when it has served its purpose. Suffering is necessary until you realize it is unnecessary.”

 

Buddha says “Life is suffering.” Confucius says “Life is suffering”. However Lao Tzu says that even though life is suffering – I would want to experience it from all angles – and so Lao Tzu goes through all the sufferings of life – until he too comes to the same conclusion that – life indeed is a journey of many sufferings!

Suffering comes only to a blessed soul – and this revelation is so deep that only an evolved soul can relate to the depth of this revelation.

Always remember – SUFFERING has a noble purpose – and that is the BURNING UP OF EGO and the evolution of CONSCIOUSNESS.

The journey of RAHU MAHADASHA is simply a great transformative stage where in either you will come out SHINNING with an expanded consciousness/awareness OR you will simply end up being a typical complaining – blaming others individual – who learns nothing – but degrades from his position.

What you become is solely based on what you choose – what you think and what you actually do – during this RAHU MAHADASHA!

Love to all my followers – as long as my close followers are concerned – I am certain that they will sail smoothly through this RAHU MAHADASHA because by following ME – they are simply following ‘that’ which also exists within them and that is – LOVE.

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

 

Love to all my readers and followers. Stay bless and believe in the POWER OF LOVE.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

The whole story of your life is based on which ‘side’ you incline. The whole course of your life and your destiny is based on which ‘side’ you thrive upon! And let me tell the ‘side’ of the intellectuals, the ‘side’ of the ‘Rahuish’ is always in demand – than the side of ‘Ketuish’ people!

There was one man – his name was Bodhidharma. And he was the son of a great King – the Palavas dynasty. But one day he said to his father – “I want to renounce everything – I want to leave this world of ‘fake gold’ and search for the ‘real gold’. Let me go in search of something that is beyond death. Please allow me to leave…”

During those days – the level of understanding was more than it is nowadays! Those were the most beautiful days. The King – although was moved by the decision of his son – allowed him to leave….with a heavy heart, he said – “ You go on your search with all my blessings. It is sad for me but that is my problem; it is my attachment. I was hoping for you to be the successor, to be the emperor of the great Pallavas empire, but you have chosen something higher than that. I am your father so how can I prevent you?” he cried the whole night – when his only son – Bodhidharma left the kingdom to seek – the truth – the ultimate truth. During those days – Buddhism was flourishing all over the Indian subcontinent. Bodhidharma loved Buddha – he continued with his journey until he reached the Himalayas. For many years and months – he searched for the master – the real master – and one day – one day he stumbled upon a woman – and she was not an ordinary woman. She was one of the greatest enlightened woman – a Yogini – and her name was Pragyatara.

Pragyatara was very tall – must be above 7 feet – and her divine aura was such that Bodhidharma could not help but bow before her divinity. He said “ Please take me under your wings – I would want to be your disciple.”

And Pragyatara accepted Bodhidharma. Bodhidharma was not an ordinary seeker – he practiced intense penance – with intense love and devotion and a day came when Bodhidharma was enlightened.

Nobody know more about the divine master – Pragyatara – she remains unknown to many! And it was Pragyatara who ordered Bodhidharma to visit China and spread the message.

During those days – the situation in China was under the influence of Confucius. Confucius was a moralist, a puritan, he does not know anything about the inner mysteries of life. In fact, he denies that there is anything inner. Everything is outer; refine it, polish it, culture it, make it as beautiful as possible.

And then during those days – there were divine beings like LAO TZU, Chuang Tzu, Lieh Tzu, but they were mystics and not masters. They could not create a counter movement against Confucius in the hearts of the Chinese people. So there was a vacuum. Nobody can live without a soul, and once you start thinking that there is no soul, your life starts losing all meaning. Confucius was a very great rationalist. These mystics, Lao Tzu, Chuang Tzu, Lieh Tzu, knew that what Confucius was doing was wrong, but they were not masters. They remained in their monasteries with their few disciples.

Pragyatara – the great divine master wanted Bodhidharma to go to China and help the people to realize that the sole essence of life is WITHIN (Ketu) and not on the OUTSIDE (Rahu).

Bodhidharma bowed before his master – the divine master Pragyatara – and started with his journey towards China.

Bodhidharma had his own style. Although he belong to the sect of Gautama Buddha, he was not soft and gentle like Buddha! He was hard, he was loud and he was indeed a very strange being and yet there was NOBODY who could match HIS powers, HIS wisdom, HIS strength – Bodhidharma was indeed the ‘PEAK’ – the ‘Epitome’ – the height of the heights!

Bodhidharma speaks the essence of Buddha. He has his own style, his own way, even Buddha will find it strange. Because Buddha was soft, Bodhidharma was hard. Bodhidharma is not polished like a diamond. He is just from the mine, absolutely raw. There have been many buddhas in the world, but Bodhidharma stands out like Everest. – Osho

Bodhidharma indeed is one of the greatest divine master – after Gautama Buddha!

It took three years to reach China, and by the time Bodhidharma reached China, the stories of his many miracles had reached to the capital of China. And the Emperor was so much touched to know that finally Bodhidharma had reached to the capital. He rushed to greet Bodhidharma and then he said to Bodhidharma “ Master – I have a question that I want to ask you…please allow me to ask…”

Bodhidharma looked into the eyes of the Emperor – and said “Ask”

The Emperor said “I have made so many monasteries, I am feeding thousands of scholars, I have opened a whole university for the studies of Gautama Buddha, I have put my whole empire and its treasures in the service of Gautama Buddha. What is going to be my reward?”

He waited to listen to what Bodhidharma answers. He was a little afraid because Bodhidharma looked ferocious – his big eyes, his appearance was like a Lion – a brave Lion! People have very wrong ideas about SAINTS – REAL SAINTS are NOT cat – but LIONS.

And so Bodhidharma just looked into the eyes of the Emperor and said “ NO REWARD. NOTHING. On the contrary be ready to fall in the seventh HELL.”

The Emperor started shivering with fear – he said “ But I have not done anything wrong – so why would I go to the seventh hell? I have been following all that the Buddhist have been following. Then why would I go to the seventh hell?”

I have tremendous love and respect for Bodhidharma – he was so straight, so plain and yet so divine!

Bodhidharma said “On the path of Gautama Buddha there is no reward because the very desire for reward comes from a greedy mind. The whole teaching of Gautama Buddha is desirelessness and if you are doing all these so-called virtuous acts, making temples and monasteries and feeding thousands of monks, with a desire in your mind, you are preparing your way towards hell. If you are doing these things out of joy, to share your joy with the whole empire, and there is not even a slight desire anywhere for any reward, the very act is a reward unto itself. Otherwise you have missed the whole point.”

The Emperor said “ I have missed – but now with your arrival – I have found the answer. I will be always grateful to you. Please accept my prayers.”

Read the answer that Bodhidharma gives to the Emperor – and read it again and again. Bodhidharma says “The teaching of Gautama Buddha is DESIRELESSNESS…..”

This stage of DESIRELESSNESS is the state of KETU! My new book on KETU releasing next month will reveal more to you all. In fact I have been praying that this new book should only fall in the right hands – who can relate to the message that I have shared through this new book.

There were hundreds of Buddhist monks and they all were meditative and they ALL wanted to become disciple of Bodhidharma but Bodhidharma was very selective – in fact even Gautama Buddha was not so selective as Bodhidharma was!

During his stay in China – Bodhidharma could only find 4 – worthy to be accepted as disciples!

AND it took NINE YEARS for him to find the very first Disciple!

Many people would come to seek his blessing and to ask him questions – but Bodhidharma said that “I will answer only to that man who is worthy of being my disciple. And unless somebody who deserved to be my disciple comes- I will NOT look at the audience.”

And for NINE years – Bodhidharma never looked at the audience – the people who came to meet him – instead he turned his back and looked at the WALL. People used to come and they would sit behind him. It was a strange situation. And when someone asked Bodhidharma – why you never face the people but instead sit facing the wall?

Bodhidharma said “ People hurt me more – the wall is better than people. Looking at the shallowness of the people – it hurts me more than otherwise. So I continue to sit by facing the wall. And I will turn around and look at the people ONLY if somebody proves by his action that he is ready to be my disciple.”

Nine years passed. People could not find what to do — what action would satisfy him. They could not figure it out. And then came this young man, Hui Ko. He cut off one of his hands with the sword, and threw the bleeding hand before Bodhidharma and said, “This is the beginning. Either you turn, or my head will be falling before you. I am going to cut my head too.”

Bodhidharma quickly got up ,turned around and looked into the eyes of Hui Ko and said “You are really a man worthy of me. No need to cut the head, we have to use it.”

This man, Hui Ko, was his first disciple.

Who can CUT HIS HAND and THROW before the MASTER? Only a man who is utterly mad in LOVE with the GURU! Only a man who has the potential to move beyond the MIND – only the man who is KETUISH!

You see – for nine years – Bodhidharma was looking for such a beautiful person – who is WILLING TO DO ANYTHING – just to become his disciple – just to receive his love – just to be with his omnipresence!

And this is what has been happening in the whole history of mankind – only that MAN – only that WOMAN who has been able to JUMP – without thinking – without bringing head in between – without bringing the mind in between – only such a man – such a woman has been able to JUMP and only those who have JUMPED – have went on to experience that which the intellectuals – the philosophers and the money makers haven’t!

Bodhidharma was looking for such men and such women. And they are always in minority – Jesus had only 12 Apostles – and they all were like Hui Ko – they all just with two words of Jesus “FOLLOW ME” – started following Jesus – and they were not even aware of this man whom they met for the very first time in their life – but just one ‘call’ – just one ‘message’ – FOLLOW ME – and they could feel that this man is something – and they must be KETUISH – because they were able to JUMP – they simply started following this young man whom the others addressed as Jesus!

Hui Ko was indeed the most beautiful person – one of the greatest disciple of Bodhidharma! But the story does not end here – the story indeed never ends and so does the cycle of our birth and rebirth!

And so after Hui Ko – Bodhidharma was able to find only three more disciples in his entire stay of over ten years in China!

And then one day – Bodhidharma decided to leave for the Himalayas. And so he called all of his four disciples and said “I have decided to leave for the Himalayas forever – but before I leave – tell me in plain words the essence of my teaching – because I need to select one of you as my successor.”

The first disciple said “ Your teaching is of going beyond the mind – to be silent – to turn inwards.”

Bodhidharma said “ Your answer is right but it doesn’t satisfy me. You have my skin.”

The second disciple said “ Your teaching is of to know that there is no ‘I’ and that one should live in total surrender to the existence.”

Bodhidharma said “ A little better but not up to my standards – sit down. You have my bones.”

The third disciple said “ Nothing can be said – there is absolutely no word that can describe the depth of your teachings.”

Bodhidharma said “ Good. But you have already said something about it – you have contradicted yourself. Sit down – you have my marrow.”

Now only the fourth disciple was left – and the fourth disciple was Hui Ko. And Hui Ko simply dropped at the feet of Bodhidharma – he said nothing – absolutely NOTHING and just tears flowed through his eyes – Bodhidharma raised him up and said “ You have said it – you will be my successor.”

How to express the teaching of the master! It CANNOT be expressed in words. TRUTH cannot be expressed in words – TRUTH can only be expressed in SILENCE – blissful silence!

Hui Ko was indeed the only disciple who could relate to the heart of Bodhidharma – he had truly melted in the master – ONENESS – and where there is ONENESS – words are not required – SILENCE is enough.

Real communication happens in silence!

Hui Ko becomes the successor to Bodhidharma – but that night the other monks who were jealous of Hui Ko – poisoned Bodhidharma and locked him in a tomb. And then they declared to the whole capital that Bodhidharma has died.

People are like this – that is why one need to be VERY CAREFUL of people – it is also true that among this kind of people – there are a very few men of heart – but in general – the majority has always caused more troubles to Saint than otherwise! Jesus was crucified, Buddha was ridiculed, Mahavira was betrayed and offended, Sai Baba was troubled by the people of Shirdi – those who are saying the TRUTH – are always considered as dangerous because people in majority belong to RAHU and not KETU!

And so they poisoned Bodhidharma and kept him in a locked room – a locked tomb.

Days passed, months passed, years passed – and on one hot afternoon while walking through the Himalayan mountains – a young Government officer suddenly had a glimpse of Bodhidharma!

And Bodhidharma was walking in bliss, in his joy – in his peace – with a wooden staff in his hand – and interestingly there was one shoe hanging on that wooden staff!

The young officer had heard a lot about the master – Bodhidharma. And so immediately he rushed to meet the master and asked “ Are you Bodhidharma?”

Bodhidharma smiled and said “Yes.”

The officer said “But the people of the town had poisoned you and locked you in a tomb.”

Bodhidharma said ” That night – I was in coma and I waited for the night. When the coma disappeared a little I escaped from the tomb, I have left one of my shoe there in the tomb as proof that I have been there and another shoe I am taking, hanging on my staff to prove that I am Bodhidharma – that’s my identity card.”

The officer instantly rushed to the monastery where Bodhidharma had been poisoned. The officer said “Open the door of the tomb – I have seen Bodhidharma with his shoe hanging on his staff and he has told me that he left the other shoe as a signature in the tomb. I want to see – if this is True.”

The tomb was opened and only one shoe was there – nothing else!

The officer started crying – how fortunate he was to have had the rarest of rare opportunity to witness the divine presence of Bodhidharma! He could not control his feelings – he went back to the Himalayan mountains – the same place where he had met Bodhidharma walking with his wooden staff – but now there was nobody – he searched and he searched and he never found Bodhidharma….

Hui Ko also left for the Himalayas – how long can a disciple stay away from the master – how long can a river stay away from the vast ocean – someday, sometime the ‘meeting’ has to happen!

Those ignorant fellows who poisoned Bodhidharma were RAHUish men and women – they WANTED to become successor – they wanted POWER – they wanted the FAME and the RESPECT that Bodhidharma attracted his whole life! You see – they had come but they had come with a DESIRE to ACHIEVE something in return!

They must be like that Emperor who was doing all the good thing – just to receive something more in RETURN – and Bodhidharma says to him “You will GO IN THE SEVENTH HELL – because Gautama Buddha’s teachings is desirelessness (KETU) and if you are doing all these so-called virtuous acts, making temples and monasteries and feeding thousands of monks, with a desire (RAHU) in your mind, you are preparing your way towards hell. If you are doing these things out of joy, to share your joy with the whole empire, and there is not even a slight desire anywhere for any reward, the very act is a reward unto itself. Otherwise you have missed the whole point.”

And this is what happens – people miss the whole point – probably very few can relate to Bodhidharma – because even the Buddhist monks sidelined Bodhidharma and his scriptures for many years – they hide it because here was the man – a raw diamond who said the TRUTH on the FACE – and the society always labels such a man as dangerous – because the society is RAHUish – it likes all that is FAKE – it cannot digest that which is the TRUTH! The society is filled with majority of FAKE, Hypocrites (RAHUISH) – how can they stand someone as transparent as TRUTHFUL and as STRAIGHT as Bodhidharma?

Only a KETUish man can relate to Bodhidharma. Only a KETUish person can LOVE Bodhidharma. I simply love Bodhidharma – there has been so many Buddhas – but I must say there has been nobody as blunt as real and as beautiful as Bodhidharma!

And it was Bodhidharma whose teachings are being practiced in the ZEN Buddhism. The very founding father of the ZEN sect is Bodhidharma – and yet even such a great master was poisoned by people who were utterly foolish and selfish (RAHUish).

This whole human world – and the horoscopes are simply divided in two – RAHU & KETU!

What RAHU has – KETU is least interested

What KETU has – RAHU cannot have – although HE tries a lot, FAKES a lot, but still remains far away from the TRUTH – the ultimate TRUTH – the GOD CONSCIOUSNESS!

What RAHU has – is what the majority is after – MONEY, SEX, FAME, RESPECT – it is no wonder that someone as realistic and as beautiful as Bodhidharma – had to wait for nine long years to find his first disciple – Hui Ko!

Don’t tell me about SIDDHIS – because SIDDHIS is something that a RAHUISH man or woman are after – SIDDHI is cheap, LOVE of the LORD is precious – very precious!

RAVANA was RAHUISH – he had many siddhis – many powers – but still he missed what Rama had within!

RAMA had the immense LOVE and DEVOTION – RAMA had the higher qualities of forgiving and LETTING GO.

KETU is letting GO – only a man who can LET GO – who can FORGIVE – can MOVE ON WITH HIS LIFE!

KETU can forgive – KETU therefore can progress.

But a RAHUish man can never forgive – he seeks REVENGE and this REVENGE than makes his own life miserable – because the very idea of taking REVENGE is enough to TRAP yourself in an unending cycle of miseries!

But who wants to listen? Once you are fired up – once ANGER is allover your being – you will NEVER listen – you will mess up with your life – always remember there is NOBODY on the OUTSIDE who makes your life a hell – it is YOU – only YOU who is responsible for your SITUATION.

If you suffer it is because of you, if you feel blissful it is because of you. Nobody else is responsible – only you and you alone. You are your hell and your heaven too. – Osho

ACTION matters. WHAT YOU DO IN REALITY is what matters. Bodhidharma was a man of ACTION.

In fact it is said that whenever he reached a new village – in a new community – people would gather – many would come and they all would wait for him to say something – but Bodhidharma would never speak – instead he would close his eyes, and would go in deep meditation. Direct Action – Direct practical demonstration – was his way of teaching!

Then there were people who could not understand his way – and they would go back to their homes – and then only a few would remain – they could relate – they could resonate with his ACTION – and they too would sit down and start meditating – and then Bodhidharma would smile – and bless these few – that is how his way was – that is how is whole life was – purely based on ACTION!

Life must be based on practicality. Astrology should be based on practicality. But people makes a mess out of Astrology – REMEMBER – no stars and no planets are outside of you – but within you!

One who understand this – one who self-realizes this – is the one who can truly resonate with this science or shastra of Astrology!

Astrology is NOT to be used for creating FEAR – ASTROLOGY should be practiced only to create AWARENESS – ‘JYOT’ (Light of awareness) that leads you to GOD (ISH) consciousness! That is how the word JYOTISH was born – a Jyotish is a person who is on his way towards the beyond – the unseen, the divinity!

In the old age that is how many SEERS and SAGES were ‘Jyotish’ – because their whole life was devoted to GOD – their journey was NOT towards GOD – their journey was WITH God!

A few years ago – a old man and he was from ISKCON – and he must be following me on LinkedIn – one day he messaged me – Are you coming with me to Vrindawan (meaning abode of Krishna – God)?

I humbly responded to him “ My journey is not towards God – my journey is with God.”

He was touched.

Always remember – the Journey is more beautiful than the destination!

And when the Journey itself becomes the destination – than the ‘seeking’ stops – the ‘searching’ stops and when everything stops – the real thing begins – the enlightening happens – this is the way of its happening – this is how it happens – slowly – slowly….gradually!

The great divine master Lahiri Mahasaya – the disciple of His Holiness Mahavatar Babaji , always used to say “Banat Banat Ban Jaye” – meaning “ Slowly slowly the making – the transformation happens”!

Don’t be in rush – don’t be impatient – always remember good things take time AND Great things take a bit more time.

Focus on meditation. Meditate every day – and let the ‘beautiful lotus’ within you flower when it has to flower. Just be focused – and stay blessed. Always remember – the most beautiful moments of life – happen accidentally!

Enlightenment is always accidental – Osho

Embrace all that happens accidentally in your life. The accidental moments are the most beautiful of life!

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Society cannot stand to the reality of life. The FAKE cannot stand the REAL.

Rahu is FAKE.

Mars is REAL.

The greater you follow the path of righteousness – the more REAL, the more COURAGE you will have.

Mars is COURAGE. Rahu is FEAR. And they are two polarities that are NOT for each other – but against each other.

The question that you have asked – is an intelligent question. I know many will not understand your question because on the outer circumference it appears simple – may be silly – but I see a certain depth to your question – simply because you have applied your heart to it – the question has come naturally to you and what comes naturally is the MOST beautiful thing to happen!

FEAR is what the society tries to impose upon you – upon me – upon all of us – because the society would never want you to know the TRUTH – to follow the TRUTH – the society would never want you to be courageous – because than you will not BLINDLY follow the society laid norms and traditions – then you will question – and society never wants you to QUESTION – society simply wants you to be a robot and follow blindly.

Nobody wants you to be FREE because society is afraid of FREE people. FREE people will be rebellious. FREE people will start doing their thing and the society is very much afraid of such people.

TRUTH is always dangerous. Jesus is the TRUTH. Buddha is the TRUTH. And so when they lived in human form – the society ferociously opposed them – society can never stand the TRUTH – the society is ruled by the MIND – and the MIND is AGAINST the TRUTH. RAHU is the North Node of the MOON (MIND) and RAHU makes sure that you never get to the bottom of the TRUTH.

RAHU will make things appear as the TRUTH – when in reality they are NOT.

And so a man or a woman who is following his or her MIND is always found to be in the tight clutches of RAHU. AND RAHU ensure that you all live under FEAR.

And the more you all become FEARFUL the more you will find absence of COURAGE within you.

And SUCCESS comes, LOVE comes, only when there is COURAGE.

In fact LOVE is not possible without COURAGE!

A young man asked “What is courage?”

To accept the challenge of the unknown is COURAGE.

What leads to fear?

To go on CLINGING is what gives birth to FEAR. ATTACHMENTS leads to FEAR.

A man who is DETACHED (KETU) can show COURAGE. He is NOT clinging – he is willing to lose everything for a certain CAUSE – a certain HIGHER GOAL – and only a man who is willing to LOSE everything can attain everything.

There is one famous verse of Jesus – Jesus says:- a man who goes on saving, clinging to things – to people – will one day lose. And a man who is willing to lose everything – will one day gain!

Reminds of of Rumi and one of his beautiful quote:

Stop clinging, stop trying to become ‘somebody’ – and you will find the way!

But who wants to listen?

The questioner has asked a very basic question. I like people who basic questions. The current state of your life and the future of your life is based on how deeply you understand the basics. And I am not just referring to Astrology but to LIFE in Totality.

Rahu is FEAR. A MAN or a WOMAN ruled by Rahu – is always fearful. Because Rahu is FEAR.

BUT the larger question should be – Why Rahu is Fear?

Rahu is what feeds your MIND. MIND thrives on RAHU and the MIND is always fearful. Understand the fact that the nodes of the MOON (MIND) are called NORTH NODE AND SOUTH NODE. The NORTH NODE is RAHU. IT IS THE DRIVING FORCE THAT DRIVES YOUR MIND. AND THE MIND DRIVES YOU. The Mind makes you run, makes you worry, makes you do all sorts of things that otherwise you would have not done!

Once a young man came to the master and the master smiled, HE realized that the young man is in trouble – and so HE said : “Come, lets walk….”

But the young man is disturbed. He says “But what about my problem, my miseries, my dreams….”

The master says ” Why you worry, always remember nothing happens before time and nothing happens after time – EVERYTHING happens ‘In-time’, so come, lets walk and enjoy this moment, look around – there so much beauty – look within – there is so much beauty – breath…..and continue to go with the flow….and so come, lets walk..and enjoy the quietness around us… “

But who wants to listen? The majority is driven by the monkey mind and so only a few – one in a million can truly relate to the words of the master – to the answers that I share. Understanding is something that is not taught in any universities or schools, it comes through your own efforts to TURN INWARDS!

And this TURNING INWARDS is what comes through Sri KETU!

SOUTH NODE IS KETU – here KETU cuts all that MIND LIKES or Wants. Here KETU helps a spiritual man to move beyond MIND by TURNING INWARDS. Here KETU becomes the ANGEL who help you to become a YOGI! In fact KETU himself is a great YOGI. And when you reach to the stage of a YOGI – there is NO FEAR – you are NOT afraid of anybody – then COURAGE comes – then MARS is not SEXUAL – then MARS becomes the DRIVING FORCE that looks into the eyes of the DEVIL Temptations (RAHU) and defeats it. Once the flame of awareness – of consciousness is instilled within your being – then you don’t run away from fear – from temptations – then you simply face it and defeat it. And that is your real victory – when you overcome your fears – your lower desires.

Interestingly I see two type of characters when MOON comes with KETU –

1. First type – who is utterly frustrated because he or she cannot have enough SEX, enough Pleasures, enough Wealth and so he or she is always seen struggling to GET what they ‘feel’ lacks in their life
2. Second type – who is extremely joyous – extremely lovable – extremely detached – and who is simply happy to have risen above the physical desires of this human body! Such a person has the potential to attain spiritual peak – the ultimate peak of consciousness!

Now understand the fact – that the same KETU can frustrate you – IF YOU ARE TOO BHOGI (pleasure seeking) by nature. And the same KETU can uplift you – motivate you to turn inwards and realize your self – IF YOU ARE YOGI by nature!

How to find the Nature?

And the answer to this question comes not from just one entity – but a whole combinations of planetary aspects and placements that signals the ‘nature’ of the person in question.

Based on the ‘nature’ (BHOGI or YOGI, MATERIAL or SPIRITUAL ) of the birth chart – the future course of your life starts appearing….

A MAN WITH RAHU MOON is always fearful. His nature is to CLING. And this nature of CLINGING brings the FEAR (RAHU) of losing!

A Man with KETU conjunct MOON has tremendous courage. He has all the potential to become the greatest mafia OR the greatest YOGI. There is no middle ground for such a person – it is either this side or that side.

Because in both cases you need to go beyond MIND! KETU can make you a mad man or a great YOGI – if you observe closely than there is a similarity between the two. A mad man is already Out of His Mind but through the wrong door. He still has no consciousness to his being. A Yogi is also out of His Mind but there is tremendous consciousness to his being.

Have you ever seen a Mad Man? When a mad man looks at a person – he is totally blank. As if he is simply scanning you through his glance! Whether the most beautiful woman is standing before him or the most simple woman – that does not affect him in any way – because there is absolutely NO MIND! He just stares at you – but that staring has no colors of judging – he just goes on looking at you and that’s all! AND a Yogi also when looks at you- there is NO MIND – no judging – He simply looks at you blankly as if your whole being from inside out is being scanned by his gracious eyes! The only difference is that the YOGI is looking at you consciously through his self – the MAD man is looking at you with no consciousness – what is common is ‘Looking’ – what is not same – is the consciousness!

So there is a lot of similarity between a YOGI and a MAD man. May be that is why one man went all over the world in search of Mad people and TRANSFORMED them into ENLIGHTENED BEINGS! AND HIS NAME WAS – AVATAR MEHER BABA.

And Great Men never desire for any awards or rewards! The love that they receive from the people is itself the greatest reward for the them – Meher Baba traveled all over the world – millions and millions of followers loved him – but many would wonder that why Meher Baba is always interested to enlighten the MAD, insane people when so many sane people are available?

And one day – one devotee asked this question and Meher Baba smiled – and he said “ “You don’t understand. To bring a sane person out of his sanity is very difficult. But to bring out a madman is very easy because in a way he is already out, but from the back door. He has tasted something of the outside; we have only to show him the right door and say, “Please don’t go out from the wrong door, go from the right door. Being out is perfectly right, but choose the right door.”

And Meher Baba transformed many mad men into enlightened beings. I humbly salute to His Holiness Meher Baba – may be someday I may get to travel to His Samadhi Mandir in a town that is now named on his name – Meherabad – near Ahmednagar, Maharashtra!

“There is NO higher or lower Goal – there is only one Goal – Self-Realization.” – Meher Baba

A beautiful rare picture of His Holiness Avatar Meher Baba.

A Yogi is all for the TRUTH. KETU is all for the TRUTH.

But RAHU is all for the FAKE! Because RAHU itself is FAKE. RAHU is a LIE. RAHU has no substance, no ethics, no morality. And where there is NO TRUTH – FEAR EXISTS.

And therefore RAHU is FEAR. And so when RAHU comes face to face with a WARRIOR (MARS) or a Holy PRIEST (JUPITER) – it is going to feel very uncomfortable – because the FAKE cannot stand the Vibrant ENERGY of the TRUTH!

A TRUTHFUL WOMAN will NEVER Fear.

A TRUTHFUL MAN will NEVER Fear.

But a Man or a Woman who is hiding – who has something to hide will fear. There is some secret, some sins, some acts, some stories that need not be unrevealed – and so FEAR is there. Then what do such men or women do?

They make a lot of noise. They shout, they scream, they yell – FEAR tries to MASK (Rahu) the TRUTH by creating a scene, a drama, a lot of noise.

FEAR IS RAHU. And FEAR BRINGS a sense of insecurity to you. And this fear of insecurity compels you to make a lot of noise.

A truthful man is always found to be silent. His silence is a peaceful silence – it is NOT out of compulsion – it is out of CHOICE.

RAHU IS FEAR. MARS IS COURAGE. AND COURAGE COMES ONLY WHEN YOU ARE TRUTHFUL.

And TRUTH always remains Silent. It is a Buddhist silence – it is Jesus’s silence – TRUTH needs no justification- it SHINES on its own when the time comes.

It is said that when JESUS was hanged on the CROSS and the Romans were about to Crucify HIM – Pointus the Roman Prefect who was supervising this – had asked one last question to Jesus – “WHAT IS THE TRUTH?”

And JESUS just looked into Pointus’s eyes and remained SILENT. It was the Buddhist silence. TRUTH cannot be expressed in words. It can only be realized in deep silence. And this Silence of Jesus moved Pointus – He cannot stand before Jesus, he had made Jesus naked, but in reality he felt as if he was standing naked before Jesus! And so Pointus says to his men – “ Take this man away from me, I cannot stand before him.”

FEAR cannot Stand before the Truth. Pointus could not stand before Jesus.

People want to hear the Truth. But the real question is ARE THEY WILLING TO DIGEST THE TRUTH?

And so I hold myself from responding to those many emails that come to me. Somebody wants to know if he can marry a girl – and I see that girl is a total fake – but how to tell him the truth? Somebody wants to know about filing a divorce – and I see that divorce will simply devastate his life – but how to tell him the truth?

And so I remain Silent. It is a Buddhist silence. Only those can be awakened who have TRUTH in themselves – who are truthful by nature – because only Truth has the courage to ACCEPT the reality!

Jesus did NOT respond to Pointus’s question – because Pointus was NOT a TRUTHFUL man. So what was the point to respond? And so Jesus remains Silent. But that silence is so deeply penetrating into Pointus whole being – that Pointus leaves and ask his men to crucify Jesus – he could not stand even the glance of Jesus – what to say about words – had Jesus spoken!

Something has always been said – even if it is only that nothing can be said!

Only Buddha has remained totally silent. And Jesus remained silent. HE did not answer, he did not respond. Truth will never respond. It will only respond when there is a certain level of understanding in the person who is asking the question.

A certain level of understanding has to be there – only then the truths can be given!

Only a man – a woman who can understand the language of silence – can understand the words that are shared. Unless you raise your level of consciousness – how can I help you – how can I respond – how can I share the Truths of your life?

And so the wise seers and sages have said that unless you are READY – the master will not appear – the answer will not come – the prayers will not be answered.

RAHU – is FEAR. Black Magic – Voodoo spells – and all kind of such negative arts of magic is basically to fuel FEAR – this FEAR than goes on Killing you all everyday – trust is lost – love is lost – life is lost!

In my life I have seen and also helped many VICTIMS of BLACK MAGIC. And so I know how it all happens and how FEAR grasps your MIND and then you no more remain an open person – you become a closed person – a person who DOUBTS everybody – everything and DOUBT is DEATH!

You see – this is how RAHU – this how BLACK MAGIC leads to FEAR – because the moment you are grasped with FEAR – life ends and the moment there is NO FEAR – life begins!

This FEAR is RAHU. When you overcome RAHU – your life starts blossoming into a beautiful flower!

You all can always avail a copy of my book “How to Overcome Rahu” on Amazon.

RAHU is FEAR. Witches or Dark energies have always feared the strength of the WARRIORS – the MARTIANS – the MARS!

The DARKNESS cannot stand the light of consciousness – cannot stand the positive energy of MARS!

In the medieval England – witchcraft was on rise – and the King of England (Mars) was fed up of the growing instances of black magics in his country – so he declared that whosoever is found doing Black Magic will be beheaded.

RAHU (Black magic, negative energies, the unseen, the smoky ghosts) always fear MARS. FEAR is their NATURE. FEAR is the nature of RAHU.

And Courage is the nature of MARS – the Warrior – the real Kshatriya – the Savior!

A real Kshatriya will not fight to kill – he is not willing to let the blood of the innocent men and women and children flow – A REAL KSHATRIYA OR WARRIOR is one who SACRIFICES himself for the good of others.

Jesus sacrificed himself for his people. I think there is no as greater as a WARRIOR than JESUS. JESUS is the greatest Warrior. My answer may be collapsed for this – I may be banned on Quora – but at this moment nobody can stop me from stating the TRUTH – that YES – JESUS WAS THE GREATEST WARRIOR that we had. HE sacrificed himself for the people – for the TRUTH – for what he believed in – Jesus remains one of the greatest WARRIOR of this AGE.

“This is how we know what LOVE is; Jesus Christ laid down his life for us.” – John 3:16 Bible Verse

This is how MARS is – this is how a true WARRIOR is.

From a common man’s perspective – understand the fact that MARS likes the Opposite SEX. But MARS will never RUN behind a woman. A true Warrior lives by his Values, his DIGNITY. A LION is a LION. Have you seen – how a Lion and Lioness make love?

It is the Lioness that caresses the LION for a long time – until he gets turned on – and then follows the passionate art of love making!

MARS should never come closer to RAHU. If it comes than it becomes an unholy conjunction – an unholy marriage!

The moment MARS JOINS RAHU – it is like the KING – the WARRIOR joining the NEGATIVE FORCES. Then the energy of MARS is used for evil purpose – and therefore whenever MARS RAHU come together in a horoscope – there is a high possibility that the native may indulge in some evil activity in his or her life – that can be indulging in black magic practice or in any other corrupt practices – but this unholy conjunction of MARS and RAHU certainly leads to many negative results – it simply blocks the consciousness and leads to more and more IGNORANCE.

RAHU should never come in contact with MARS in your natal birth chart.

But the larger question is WHY IT COMES? Nobody asks WHY – everybody is interested to ask WHEN? When will this happen and when will that happen!

The placement of conjunctions in the charts of you all – is simply a ‘continuation’ of your past life KARMIC cycle.

Whatever you have got now – is NOT FREE. NOTHING IS FREE in this UNIVERSE – let this be very clear – some people in your life may feel that you are getting everything for FREE – but they don’t know how much you have gone through in your past lives to earn what they think is FREE!

Nothing is FREE. I may not CHARGE you all for my guidance – but again only those will be guided by me – who have done something good in this or past life! So even though I don’t charge a single penny – still my response comes only to those few – who deserve! And even I don’t know how it all happens – many mails come – some get quick response from me- and some never ever! And people don’t understand – and let me tell you all – neither do I!

It all happens by HIS – the almighty’s wish – I am NOT the doer – HE is the doer – I am just a medium – HIS servant. GOD’s servant.

And GOD directs me to answer only those emails that comes from a pure heart – a faithful man – a faithful woman – who has patience, who has faith.

PATIENCE has immense power. And FAITH is the fuel that goes on providing the necessary motivation to remain Patient. Sai Baba – always emphasized on practicing FAITH and PATIENCE.

My father spend his whole life in spreading spiritual awareness. He was an occultist, a great astrologer and a novelist. He was one of the most eminent journalist of his time. And he interviewed many spiritual dignities – including Osho. His meeting with Osho was very unique….Osho was in his car, and his car was about start when a young man jumped before his car – and Osho wondered who this young man is – who has the COURAGE to RISK his LIFE – just to meet OSHO – and so Osho stepped out of his car and he found the young man sleeping before his car – Osho went and asked “ Why ?”

And the young man said “Because I want to meet you, to seek your interview…”

Osho gave him a hand – and then the ‘journey’began – that young man was my father – a journalist and an astrologer by birth – and he went on to become one of the most known journalist of his times.

COURAGE is MARS. Osho must have seen – that this young man has the COURAGE to JUMP.

And only a man who can jump into the unknown is COURAGEOUS – he can attain the Higher purpose of this life! My father continued to serve the people through his articles and his many novels and television serials and documentaries. But what made him – was HIS COURAGE and COURAGE is MARS – RAHU cannot stand MARS – because MARS is COURAGOUS and COURAGE comes only from a TRUTHFUL HEART – only from the TRUTH.

My father passed away when he was 47. During his last years – he worked for Sai Baba – devoted himself to running the Sai Leela magazine of the then Shirdi Sai Trust. Just before the day he died – he had visited Shirdi – and he realized that his time has come – death is close. The next day when he returned back – he died of a massive heart attack. Indeed he was also a great practicing astrologer of his time!

But for a courageous man – the longevity of life is not important – QUALITY of life is important. And though my father may not have lived for long – he certainly was able to add a certainly quality – a certain depth to his life!

And so to YOU ALL – I therefore encourage – that let there be a certain QUALITY to your life – a certain DEPTH to your life – a certain UNDERSTANDING to you life.

Life starts flowering when you start meditating!

But before you start meditating – first you have to start purifying your MIND!

Unless the mind is purified – meditation cannot flower.

A purified mind gives way to compassion, to love – then such a mind does not become a hurdle – then such a mind can be merged within – then in that state of no mind – compassion starts flowering and when compassion is there – meditation starts on its own – it is all Linked – Linked-in.

Now the question will be – how to purify the mind?

And the answer is simple – and the answer has been repeated again and again by your ancestors – by my ancestors – by the seers and the wise sages of this human world- the answer is by following a conscious lifestyle. A conscious approach towards your every action that you execute. And the very first step to do so is to start READING THE HOLY SCRIPTURES of YOUR FAITH. Shloka, BhagvadGeeta, Bible, Quran, Guru-Granthsahib – no matter what you FAITH is – it is important that you READ everyday atleast 10 pages of holy scriptures and shlokas of your Faith. The second step is to follow a healthy food diet. Non-Veg or Veg – doesn’t matter – but how you eat, when you eat and what you eat does matters.

So there are many such small instances that you should focus on – to purify your MIND. One of the most critical aspect is – WHAT YOU WATCH ON YOUR IDIOT BOX.

The TELEVISION SET or TV is the IDIOT BOX and so always focus on watching good stuff on your TV. Interestingly almost all television serials are filled with negativity – that you all will ask – what to watch! But we cannot help because that is what the society is – but you have to decide whether you want to follow the society or you want to live as an INDIVIDUAL.

The INDIVIDUAL has NO EGO. The EGO has NO INDIVIDUALITY. To be an INDIVIDUAL you need INTELLIGENCE and a SHARP CONSCIOUSNESS.

And I would love to see you all – especially those who have been following me – to BE AN INDIVIDUAL – one who is NOT afraid of the SOCIETY – one who is NOT afraid of getting condemned – one who is NOT afraid of saying the TRUTH – sharing the TRUTH – one who LIVES with LOVE and NOT with FEAR.

It is likely that this answer will be collapsed soon by Quora, but I am not afraid and so should you all be NOT afraid of saying, sharing and facing the TRUTH.

So come you all – and to overcome FEAR – to overcome RAHU – to overcome the negativity – I would appeal to each one of you – to start meditating – to take the first step towards YOUR ‘SELF’ – by turning inwards, by taking the Holy Lord’s name – by focusing on your breathing – and by coming closer and closer to that ultimate state of consciousness – Krishna Consciousness – God consciousness!

The whole essence of finding happiness is in our journey from IGNORANCE towards CONSCIOUSNESS – from being IMPURE to becoming PURE. The Mind when purified can be merged within – can become your servant and the moment you are NO MORE the slave of your MIND but the MIND becomes your SLAVE – suddenly life starts changing for good – suddenly there is a light that you see – a light of wisdom – the light of consciousness – and the moment you come to state of consciousness – there is no looking back – the ‘sky’ is clear and you are ready to FLY!

Then the real freedom comes – then you experience the real taste of FREEDOM – then you are NOT bothered about who says what about you – then you ROAR – then you are NO MORE a sheep – you have transformed into a LION and a great ROAR arises in you – the roar of FREEDOM.

And although my answer may be deleted or collapsed by Quora – still as long as it is there – I would love to see you all becoming COURAGEOUS – FEARLESS and LIVE your life by being yourself – by being an INDIVIDUAL and not just a part of the CROWD!

TRUTH happens to Individuals and NOT to crowds.

Be an Individual.

Let there be more individuality to your being.

Individuality is Dignity.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Things have been happening from the very beginning of time. However people start realizing that “things are happening” in Rahu Mahadasha because it is only when the thorn goes deep into your heart that you WAKE UP! Always remember the pain that RAHU MAHADASHA brings is not to hurt you but to awaken you from a deep sleep (ignorance).

This pain is not to make you sad, remember. That’s where people go on missing. This pain is just to make you more alert-because people become alert only when the arrow goes deep into their heart and wounds them.

Things “appear” as happening because you start expecting too much when Rahu Mahadasha begins. Now you want everything as fast as possible. Your business is not running well, now you cannot tolerate this anymore, you want some magic to happen and then you start visiting many BABAs and Temples – just so that you come across some messiahs who can use their magic wand and change your life for better!

This is how foolish men and women become when Rahu Period begins. And then many become victims of FAKE babas and monks!

Now who is to blame? Not the babas but your impatience, your greed, your wants and your desires that make you run from one baba to another baba and so I always say – that RAHU MAHADASHA is a perfect time of BUSINESS for such FAKE BABAs, that is their “real time” of business.

A few days ago, a man had come. He was going through Rahu Mahadasha, and he said “I am looking for some real Baba.”

Now this man was a great devotee of Sai Baba. And now he was looking for some Real Baba! Now what kind of joke is this. But this is how people make a joke of their life when RAHU MAHADASHA begins!

I said to him “Why you want a Real Baba? When you already are blessed by Sai Baba?”

But the MIND cannot understand. RAHU is the NORTH NODE of the mind. Now this mind will make this man run all around the place in search of a real Baba and chances are that he will be simply looted and cheated by the “gang of fake babas”!

RAHU simply makes your mind restless. Rahu can manifest in various forms, primarily in the form of:

• Black Magic
• Illusions
• Notions
• Wrong or Misunderstandings
• Wrong decision makings
• Cheating in relationship or being cheated in relationship
• Intense SEXUAL desires
• Frauds or the act of doing fraud
• Imprisonment or major accidents during Rahu Mahadasha is also a strong possibility if the chart has certain negative placements

So many things happen during Rahu Mahadasha. It is not that they were not happening or they don’t happen in other planet’s Mahadasha but because your CONSCIOUSNESS is directly shadowed by RAHU – that you find the happenings extremely heartbreaking and disappointing then otherwise.

Black Magic is not something that happens only during RAHU MAHADASHA. I have dealt with several real life cases wherein the man or woman have faced severe black magic spells during Jupiter Mahadasha or Ketu Mahadasha. However the difference is that Jupiter Mahadasha at least enlightens you through such difficult phases while Rahu Mahadasha simply keeps you running from one end to the other end with absolutely no possibility of learning or enlightenment. You remain in the absolute dark tunnel of Rahu – you remain a perfect soft target for your enemy.

There are many types of black magic spells that becomes very effective when cast on a person going through Rahu Mahadasha. Some of these spells are:

1. Instigating quarrel between a couple (husband-wife or boyfriend-girlfriend
2. Bringing your business down by distracting your attention towards some trivial matters of life
3. Pushing you in deep loss in business by distracting you towards intense sexual desires. So much so as if the person just wants to get into the bed and have as much sex as he or she can.
4. Impacting your health by making you eat more and more
5. Impacting your sleep pattern by forcing you to stay awake all night – in English there is a special word for this, it is called – INSOMNIA
6. Giving you too much stress so that your vitamin count goes down and your health starts suffering
7. VANSHIKARAN (Taking control of the target person) – this is Indian term for a special act of black magic in which the target person is brought under your control, so that he or she start acting based on your orders and words. VANSHIKARAN is also cast to enforce thoughts on the target person. Many times you face a divorce or breakup and you continue to think about the person who left you – this happens because the person who left you or whom you have left – may have done VANSHIKARAN on you so that you continue to miss her or him, this is done to distract you from your growth, because the more you remain entangled in the memories of that person, the more you will be pulled away from your goal, your work. Vanshikaran is a very popular black magic spell – and many men and women go to black magicians to do VANSHIKARAN (taking control) of the person they want to have sex with or want to marry or if it is an office affair then want to have promotion – so in such cases the person targeted is the BOSS – because by doing VANSHIKARAN on the BOSS – these men and women try to attract the attention of the BOSS and get promotion.
8. Itching – sudden itching caused in the ANUS, or around the VAGINA and many such things happen because of black magic spells
9. Problems in sexual intimacy, problems in erection, cases of finishing early before the partner attains orgasm – many such sexual problems also are created by casting black magic spells.

In cities like Kolkata, there are official associations of Tantriks and Mantriks, yes my fellows and they take their job very seriously! 🙂

So many such things happen in this vast human world my fellows, nobody will disclose this and nobody will talk about this because who wants trouble?

But I am a fakir, there is nobody to cry after my death and there is nobody to remember me after my death and so I have absolutely nothing to worry and nothing to lose. In fact always remember a person who has nothing to lose is the most dangerous person you would ever come across – he has the courage, he has the openness, and he has the daring – simply because he knows he has absolutely nothing to lose.

“BEWARE OF ONE WHO HAS NOTHING TO LOSE”

The connection of BLACK MAGIC, and your planetary aspects and Mahadasha is very deep. It is not that your enemy has started targeting you by means of black magic during your Rahu Mahadasha, your enemy has been trying to target you almost all your life – but it is only when your period of RAHU begins that his attacks start working! You see – this is the whole joke of mankind. Your enemy starts thinking that NOW his game is working but in reality it is NOT HIM, it is just that your time is not good. It is like a crow sitting on a branch that is already weak and about to break. It appears that because of the crow sitting on the branch – the branch has broken when in reality the branch was already weak, it was about to break, the crow was just an excuse!

Similarly your enemy and his attacks are just an EXCUSE – the real reason of your downfall is because your time (branch) has become weak because of RAHU MAHADASHA!

So then what to do? What is the solution?

The solution is simple. But simple is NOT what people want to listen! And because they don’t want to listen they go on suffering all the 18 years of RAHU MAHADASHA.

Mohan said “People don’t want to listen but I want to listen, please tell me.”

I said “ Mohan the solution is simple, to curb your ambition, to curb your desires, to slowdown, to put consistent efforts in controlling the monkey mind, to follow a peculiar diet.”

“Diet – what kind of diet should one follow during Rahu Mahadasha?” Mohan asked curiously.

“Mohan, during Rahu Mahadasha, the person should STOP eating onion and garlic. He or she should adhere to a SATVIC DIET which has absolutely no onion, no garlic. Such a person should avoid eating NAMKEEN (salty foods) as well as FRIED FOOD. “

Mohan asked “But what is the significance of following a SATVIC DIET?”

I said “Mohan, what we eat is what impacts our thought patterns. Onion, Garlic is good just the way a sword and pistol is good. But it is good for those who have eyes – not for those who have become blind! And in Rahu Mahadasha – since many men and women become blind (meaning IGNORANCE engulfs them) – eating onion, garlic, spicy food, fried food, salty food is not good but dangerous. Because these type of food easily provokes the person towards anger, lust, sexual desires which can drag one in more miseries than otherwise.”

Mohan said “ Wow the solution is so simple.”

I said “ But who wants to listen?”

And that is how people go on suffering miserably during RAHU MAHADASHA and then they start feeling the heat.

The famous builder DSK (DS Kulkarni) was imprisoned during RAHU MAHADASHA. In an interview, before getting behind the bars – he has mentioned that how RAHU MAHADASHA begin and all his empire and reputation of 2 decades came crashing down. He was imprisoned for fraud and misusing the money collected from investors.

However RAHU MAHADASHA is not just about failures – it is also more about much larger failures that are unseen. And that is being dragged in the limelight of fame and money!

So now this is a different angle of RAHU MAHADASHA wherein the man gets absolute power, money, sex and all that he desires for! And then he gets so much entangled into all of this that he simply goes on missing the true purpose of life. He becomes utterly ignorant, arrogant and a high handed person who does many sins, misdoings and corruption and nobody is able to STOP him!

And then when Jupiter Mahadasha begins – then he is taken to task by Sri Guru! Then he starts feeling the heat – then suddenly everything starts going against him. Those who were on his side – change their sides and become enemies. Then he starts self-realizing that this is how SHALLOW this human world is – this is how the society is – this is how FAKE people are. Then he starts realizing that the world salutes only the RISING SUN and not the setting SUN! So Sri Guru (JUPITER MAHADASHA) enlightens him and then someone like RATNAKAR is transformed into SAINT VALMIKI – then someone like SAUL is transformed into SAINT PAUL who later build many Churches in medieval Europe!

So you – RAHU MAHDASHA has two angles – and although the angle that provides wealth and fame appears as great on the outwards – it actually does much harm to one’s self-growth. And much of the time is wasted in collecting fake gold while the real gold is missed, simply missed.

So if you ask me – then that angle which brings much miseries and sufferings during RAHU MAHADASHA is far better and plays a significant role in the person’s real growth story.

Always remember – and I specifically say it for all my close followers and readers-

“SUCCESS is cheap, FAILURE is of great worth.”

Success develops arrogance and the man’s spiritual progress is thus arrested. Failure on the other hand is beneficial, inasmuch as it opens the eyes of the man to his limitations and prepares him to surrender himself.

Insightful men are few, very few. And so RAHU MAHADASHA becomes a great suffering for the majority who simply want to have FUN, want to have NO RESTRICTIONS, NO RULES, NO COMMON SENSE, they just want to have lots of wealth, lots of SEX, lots of POWER and then to such men and women, RAHU takes them for a nice ride – a ride that shake them – shatters them and leaves them in utter miseries then otherwise.

But a man of awareness, a man of prayers is able to walk safely through the difficult tests of RAHU MAHADASHA. Such a man is a blessed man. If he loves Sai Baba, if he has made SAI BABA as his GURU then he will not seek any other master but will simply remain FAITHFUL and DEDICATED at the feet of Sai!

FAITH matters above all. Weak men who claim to be the devotees of Sai – will never understand the significance of FAITH because they are always searching for someone who is in HUMAN FORM and who is or has the powers of SAI! How is that possible? Always remember – a real master has NO successor.

Nobody is going to be successor to me. The very idea of succeeding was an idea borrowed from the royal families. Just as kings were succeeded by their eldest sons, it reflected on the tradition of masters also that somebody would become their successor. I want to make a complete break. As far as I am concerned, you are all intimate to me. I can afford the intimacy of all of you because there is no question of any succeeding. Nobody is going to be my successor. I want everybody to be a master unto himself – Osho

You just got to have unwavering FAITH in your master, in your LORD. Reminds me of a story…..

Once it happened….a man just got married and was returning home with his wife. They were crossing a lake in a boat when suddenly a great storm arose. The man was a warrior, but the woman became very much afraid because it seemed almost hopeless — THE BOAT WAS SMALL AND THE STORM WAS REALLY HUGE, AND ANY MOMENT THEY WERE GOING TO BE DROWNED. But the man sat silently, calm and quiet, as if nothing was happening.

The woman was trembling and she said, “Are you not afraid? This may be our last moment of life! IT DOESN’T SEEM THAT WE WILL BE ABLE TO REACH THE OTHER SHORE. Only some miracle can save us, otherwise death is certain. Are you not afraid? Are you mad or something? Are you a stone or something?”

THE MAN LAUGHED AND TOOK THE SWORD OUT OF ITS SHEATH. The woman was even more puzzled — what he is doing? Then he brought the naked sword close to the woman’s neck — so close that just a small gap was there, it was almost touching her neck.

He said, “ARE YOU AFRAID?”

She started to giggle and laugh and said, “WHY SHOULD I BE AFRAID? If the sword is in your hands, why should I be afraid? I know you love me.”

He put the sword back and said, “This is my answer. I know God loves me, and the sword is in His hands, and the storm is in His hands — so WHATSOEVER IS GOING TO HAPPEN IS GOING TO BE GOOD. If we survive, good; if we don’t survive, good — because EVERYTHING IS IN HIS HANDS, AND HE CANNOT DO ANYTHING WRONG.”

This is how your TRUST should be. This is the trust one needs to imbibe. SUCH TREMENDOUS TRUST IS CAPABLE OF TRANSFORMING YOUR WHOLE LIFE! And ONLY such tremendous trust is capable of transforming your life — less than that won’t do.

It is only that when you have such tremendous trust in your GURU – in your MASTER – that you will continue to walk through the narrow difficult lanes of RAHU MAHADASHA and you will NOT seek any other master or baba or monk – because you know that GOD LOVES YOU, your GURU LOVES YOU – then why would you seek anybody else? Why would you become so miserable? Why would you fear the MAHADASHA of RAHU?

Always remember – FEAR should NOT make you move, only LOVE should make you move!

Only LOVE is the answer, only FORGIVENESS is the answer, only LET GO is the answer – and if you can truly relate to these answers then RAHU MAHADASHA can become a blessing in disguise for you.

Yesterday one highly educated person said “ This LET GO and MOVE ON is something modern people have invented – just for their own interests.”

Education not necessarily makes you a wise man. In fact education has absolutely nothing to do with WISDOM! I asked that highly educated man “ Do you think LAO TZU also belong to this modern world? Because LET GO is not something that a modern wise men and women are emphasizing on, it was being emphasized by someone as great and divine as LAO TZU who existed 1000 years ago.”

When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be. – Laozi

Buddha also emphasizes on the significance of LET GO.

In the end, only 3 things matter: how much you loved, how gently you lived, and how gracefully you let go of things not meant for you. – Buddha

How GRACEFULLY you LET GO of things not meant for you – remind yourself of these golden words my fellows – and I say this to all my close followers and readers going through RAHU MAHADASHA. Because RAHU makes you CLING whereas the key to overcome this RAHU is by becoming DETACHED – and that’s Ketu, that’s being a Buddha!

But who wants to listen?

People are just happy to spend thousands on rituals and happy to seek some FAKE BABAs and that is how this whole shallow human world is. But amongst these shallow men and women, there are few, very few insightful beautiful souls who are stuck, my sharing is just for these few, in fact I always feel that this sharing should reach only those who truly deserve and who has a certain depth of understanding.

A certain level of understanding has to be there – only then the TRUTHS can be given. – Osho

Understanding is not taught in universities, it has to come from your own being. And it comes only when you start turning inwards!

RAHU wants you to remain focused on the outward. Whereas the true sutra – the true essence of overcoming RAHU MAHADASHA is by turning inwards.

But who wants to listen?

The greatest gift – the greatest way of expressing your gratitude towards your Guru is NOT by offering loads of money and loads of gold – it is like a beggar offering to the KING, to the EMPEROR!

The GURU is the KING, the EMPEROR. The real gift, the greatest way of expressing your gratitude is by TURNING INWARD – because that is what the GURU wants – that is what the real master wants. Because the real treasures – the real answers are deep within you and unless you start turning inwards – there is no way to experiencing God – experiencing Truth – experiencing the peace, joy and bliss that you seek.

Beware – for in RAHU MAHADASHA you will be distracted towards the glory on the outside, you will be pulled away from your SELF – from your CENTER. So every day remind yourself of returning back to your source – returning back ‘home’ – by meditating, by chanting the holy mantra, by focusing on the center of your heart – the center of your being.

At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want. – Lao Tzu 

RAHU is intense desire. This desire brings many attachments. And the more attachments – the more comes the miseries. Buddha says – the root of suffering is ATTACHMENT!

One has to constantly self inquire — on how attached am I to a certain things or people? Because attachment is the root of suffering. You are unable to Let Go because of your attachments. A true Yogi, a man of Awareness is never attached, He can Let Go.

Let Go is possible only through the state of Detachment.

In India I used to have a motorcycle. I rode everywhere on it, especially to visit my Master in his Serampore hermitage. I enjoyed that motorcycle very much. So one day I asked Master, “Am I attached to it?” (He knew every tremor of my thought and consciousness.) “Certainly not,” he said. Shortly after that, I gave the motorcycle away to someone who had a deep desire for it. And I never missed it. That is the kind of freedom Patanjali teaches you to have, so that at all times you are a god: absolute ruler of the kingdom of your consciousness. – Paramahansa Yogananda

You will come closer to the state of consciousness only when you learn to live your life with detachment. Let Go is possible only through the state of detachment.

Remember – RAHU is ATTACHMENT. Ketu is DETACHMENT. The journey of life begins through intense attachments but the journey is completed only when you reach to the state of DETACHMENT. The whole journey of human life is caught up between the two ends that never meet – RAHU & KETU!

Someday you all must read my book on Rahu and Ketu.

For now enough. For my close followers and readers – who really are beautiful beings – here is my advice:

The more you remain attached, clinging, greedy, restless, the more RAHU MAHADASHA will make your life a hell.

The more you remain detached, willing to LET GO, selfless, and maintain patience and faith – the more you will be able to walk through the narrow lanes of RAHU MAHADASHA with much ease.

And then – comes the GOLDEN KEY – the greatest solution to overcome RAHU MAHADASHA – and this is specially for my very close followers – the ‘golden key’ is in one word – SURRENDER.

When you surrender yourself at the feet of the master – the benevolent Guru – then the Guru himself takes over and saves you from drowning…

All you need is unwavering FAITH and PATIENCE – SHRADDHA aur SABURI.

Always remember – when you surrender yourself at the feet of the Master – then you don’t have to figure out anything – you simply have to RELAX and walk with FAITH – because when the Master comes – HE comes with a master plan.

When The Master Comes, ” He Comes With The Master Plan.” – Sai Baba

And the Master comes only when you are READY. Your readiness is simply based on how deeply you SURRENDER – the greater is the depth of your surrender, the greater is the blessings of the benevolent master.

When living through RAHU MAHADASHA – focus on surrendering totally at the feet of the benevolent compassionate master and then you will see the miracles happening. And that would be the real happening – it all starts with what you are from within – for a man of good heart, a man who thinks less and feels more is always loved, blessed and nurtured by GOD. God loves a grateful man, the master always comes to your rescue when you remain faithful, when you remain grateful.

All you need is a faithful heart, a grateful heart – and then no matter where you are – no matter in what trouble you are – HE will come, HE will come and hold your hand, HE will show you the way…..

“God will make a way
Where there seems to be no way
He works in ways we cannot see
He will make a way for me
He will be my guide
Hold me closely to His side
With love and strength for each new day
He will make a way, He will make a way…”– Don Moen

When your heart starts beating with compassion, with love, with a certain depth of understanding then nobody can cause any disturbance within you – not even RAHU – all you need is constant FAITH, LOVE & the willingness to LET GO.

Rest, relax and be in a Let Go. Let Go is the secret of life. Let Go is the secret of religion. Let Go is the greatest secret. – Osho

Only that man, and only that woman can truly progress, can truly move on, can truly attain the beyond – who can LET GO.

Let Go & move closer to existence in silence and peace in meditation. – Osho

Rahu compels you to NOT to LET GO and that is what leads you to a miserable life. All the divine masters have simply sharing the simple key to all your problems – LET GO.

To me, let-go means you are not fighting for anything in life, but giving everything to life to take care of. – Osho

Life is the greatest blessing, the greatest journey and one who stops fighting and lives in a LET GO – such a man, such a woman always overcome all the difficulties of life. The Sutra – the Key is living your life in a LET GO!

Only that man and only that woman can truly progress in meditation – who can LET GO – such a man, such a woman is truly beautiful, a blessing to this planet, a gift to mankind.

Meditation is a surrender. It is not a demand. It is not forcing existence your way. It is relaxing into the way existence wants you to be. It is a let-go. – Osho

Meditate every day. When going through Rahu Mahadasha – it is necessary that you meditate, you chant the holy mantra – “Shri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram” – 108 times, every morning, and evening for minimum 20 minutes.

Chanting helps clean the subconscious mind of all the dirt (thoughts and impressions on the mind) and facilitates the peace of mind.

In this YUGA – the easiest way to purify your mind and experience the divine is by chanting.

Due to our material bondage, the covering of the material senses, we cannot understand what is spiritual, but this ignorance can be removed by this process of chanting Hare Krşņa. (Beyond Birth and Death, Ch 4)

However along with chanting you should also follow certain things:

1. NEVER ASK FOR FREE IF YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES
2. NEVER TAKE ADVANTAGE OR CHEAT OTHERS BY TAKING SERVICE AND NOT PAYING – (such a man definitely goes through hell experience)
3. NEVER CHEAT OTHERS
4. NEVER BECOME TOO SELFISH
5. AND ALWAYS FIND A WAY TO SERVE THOSE WHO DESERVE.

Our humble service attitude in our life is definitely goes through hell experience) what determines what effect chanting will have on our consciousness. Otherwise we can be chanting for millions and millions of births before we actually achieve the goal. – Radhanath Swami

It all begins from what you are from WITHIN. If you are a grateful person then your chanting will fructify, the more you serve others selflessly, the more you share the more you love – the more you walk on the path of DEVOTION – the more you will continue to GROW inside out.

The real growth is the GROWTH WITHIN. And the real JOURNEY is the JOURNEY WITHIN.
Focus within – let the ‘inward journey’ begin…..

Meditate every day. Love to all my followers and readers. Stay blessed.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru. 🙏

The real is something else. The real plot is missed and then the whole story is missed, it is simply missed! And that is what happens when you are supposed to read the next page of the ‘book’ – but you simply don’t!

There is much hype created of RAHU + Jupiter  conjunction – it is as if you are untouchable, astrologers have been labeling this conjunction as if the man or woman is a criminal! Some call these conjunction a ‘Chandal Yoga’ – so you are directly labelled as a Chandal – demonic – in reality the astrologers who are quick to ‘label’ seems to be more Chandal (demonic) then otherwise!

But ignorant astrologers are in rush to become saints and so they don’t leave a chance to label anyone who is found with this conjunction!

The key to all predictions is simply in the Chalit Kundali. What is Chalit Kundali – and for that you don’t need to read any books – you simply have to cast a birth chart using western system – and whatever you see in the western birth chart – the same placements of planets you see in Chalit kundali. KP astrology also relates to the western astrology – when it comes to identifying the ‘actual’ placement of planets.

It is an irony that so called pundits have been criticizing the western astrology system and yet the most accurate astrology system – KP – has evolved through the western astrology system! So let it be very clear that western astrology system is not a total scrap – it has many beautiful things that only a man of awareness can appreciate – even to see the beauty of all – one has to have the ‘eyes’ of the heart and not of the mind!

“You ‘see’ through your mind and that is where you miss, you simply miss. The day you start ‘seeing’ through your heart – you would be able to find the real thing – the real gold.” – Osho

But people are running behind fake gold – when the real gold is somewhere else!

And to answer your question – to help you wash away all the ignorance so that you find your answer – during the Mahadasha of Rahu – you will find the person being too obsessed with his or her career. I have seen people going to extents where they would do anything – just to make a career – just to expedite their career growth – and *if* other aspects are supporting than such men or women – do progress in career at a speed that is in reality NOT good for their well-being! If such a person becomes a boss – and has a team to manage – then the team is going to ‘suffer’ at his or her hands! Because this man is running very fast – he almost like a man who is ‘high’ by taking opium! And so he is least bothered about values, ethics, human values – he or she is simply focused on getting to the highest peak of their career – whoever comes in between – is simply bulldozed!

So many wrong deeds happen during this phase – because RAHU has made him or her so much blind – that even if Jesus Christ or Krishna comes to advice them – they too will be bulldozed by such a person who is immensely obsessed towards making it ‘big’ – so by the end of Rahu period – many also become victims of their own misdoings – often they are put on inquiry – or they also lose their job for which they had been ‘running’ so hard and in the process making others miserable!

Rahu is a part of your extrovert mind – remember this – this is of significance. And Ketu is also a part of your introvert mind. And so both are addressed in the western astrology as North Node (rahu) and South Node (ketu) of the MOON. And Moon is your mind – and mind is prone to clinging – and it clings more when you are running through Rahu period! Because then the North Node is activated – and so you go on clinging and the more you cling the more you become attached – the more you are ‘in’ for the greatest suffering of your life!

And RAHU – the North Node – drives you towards more and more attachment. I have seen men at the top post (CEO-CTO) when they are running through this period of RAHU they are promoted to the post of CEO and then the walk around as if they are forever going to be the CEO of the company – remember Steve Jobs? – he was forced to resign and for a long time he remained away from the greatest company he had made by his own efforts and intelligence – the Apple company!

Steve Jobs – was certainly not a common man – he had great faith in the divine Saint NEEM KAROLI BABA of Vrindavan. In the early 60s – he had come to India to seek Baba’s blessings and it is said that because Baba’s favorite fruit was APPLE – Steve Jobs made ‘Apple’ as the logo of his newly found company in the 70’s! Recently in an open conference between our Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Facebook’s founder – Mark Zuckerberg – Mark had mentioned about a temple in India that Steve Jobs had visited – that temple is the temple of Neem Karoli Baba – where his remains are kept.

A rare unique picture of the great divine saint Neem Karoli Baba covered in a blanket – walking with his Indian and Western devotees.

The effects of RAHU Jupiter conjunction can be minimized – only when you learn to control your mind. The mind is a monkey – the mind’s nature is to wander – but YOU are NOT the mind. Learn to control your mind – no temples, and no gemstones, and no astrologer and no saint can help you – IF you are not able to control your mind.

And so nobody is going to tell you the solution to Rahu – they all are going to simply talk about the results – but this God’s Fool is providing you and to all my followers with the solution to Rahu and the solution is simply – MEDITATE – and slowly steadily learn to control your mind.

“Clear the mind of all worldly things. If you can’t control your mind – how can you realize God?” – Neem Karoli Baba

Let the focus be not on the outside (RAHU-ish) – let the focus be within – let Shri Ketu guide you while you travel through the dark tunnel of Rahu. Remember after every storm – there is a beautiful rainbow – after every dark night – there is a joyful morning!

“Joy comes with the morning.” says the holy Bible. This Joy is the representation of your ‘consciousness’ – the more and more you become conscious of your ‘self’ and your ‘actions’ (karma) – the greater is the joy of your life!

Find joy in your life and bring joy to others – and that is what this human life is all about – life is a celebration of moments – you can only celebrate life when you learn to live moment-to-moment – and that’s meditation!

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Rahu – is not bad. And Rahu – is not good either. Rahu is just a smoke – and smoke is smoke – you just can’t get away from it!

What is this smoke all about? This smoke (rahu) is your obsession to satisfy your desires – the word is ‘obsession’ .

Obsession simply means you are paying too much attention and energy to something which is not that important.

Out of proportion you have become focused, hypnotized by something. Rahu ‘hypnotizes’ you to such an extent that you can do anything – just to get to the goal – just to get to the point of attraction! Obsession is a kind of hypnosis that you create for yourself. Then everything else disappears in your life and only one thing remains, that becomes your focal point. Your life becomes one-dimensional;that’s obsession.

Life has to be multidimensional – but when RAHU connects with any PLANET – it makes you 1-dimensional. So if you have MARS+RAHU – you will go on thinking only of sex, only of sex twenty-four hours a day. Deep down in their minds it is always lurking. They may be doing something else, but the are thinking of sex. Then it is an obsession – you see – this is how the ‘smoke’ creates an obsession based on the planet it is placed with! There are people who are obsessed with food; they are continuously thinking of food. And it can be a positive obsession or a negative obsession.

Rahu is obsession – there are people who call themseleves CELIBATES – MONKS – BRAHMACHARIS – and yet they are continuosly thinking of sex too – in a negative way! Such people are folks who have Jupiter afflicted by RAHU in some way or the other. So you see – the ‘smoke’ operates – based on the planets that it associates with.

What are planets? Planets are simply the reflection of your qualities – ‘Guna’. When a planet is exalted – you have great qualities related to that planet. When Venus is exalted with all beneficial aspects – you have someone as beautiful – inside-out – person – who is not just beautiful but is truly compassionate towards his or her fellow beings – so when a certain ‘smoke’ accumulates around the planet (qualities) – you see some dark shades to those qualities! RAHU+VENUS = gives a beautiful mask – but behind that mask – there is a great obsession towards romance, art, love relationships – partners, and sex. But MARS+RAHU – is total obsession towards using the ‘energy’ for selfish desires – sex, tantra, black magic etc – here there is simply an obsession towards physicality – no art, no love, no positivism – it is straight way – ‘nailing’ – obsession towards getting things done – without bothering what way is being chosen for the same.

So Rahu simply spoils the game – and a spoiler cannot be good or bad – a spolier *is* a spoiler!

So it is good to see – when RAHU is placed alone in a house – that way the smoke is there – but it is at-least not directly affecting the individuals quality.

Let it be very clear – that RAHU is your own creation. So don’t blame RAHU for spoiling your life – you have come to this world – because of your ‘desires’ (RAHU) and so you have to first learn to accept the fact – that it is not RAHU who is affecting your life – it is not the nuclear bomb that is to be blamed – it is the Man who created this dangerous bomb – is to be blamed! And so when you see your marriage failing – and you are blaming your Rahu placed in 7th house – then you have learnt nothing in this life – the next life you will be in the same place – with the same miseries.

Life repeats itself mindlessly – unless you become mindful, it will go on repeating like a wheel. – Osho

And that is the greatest tragedy of human life – whenever you have a problem – you visit an astrologer and then the astrologer tells you ‘this is the reason – Rahu is placed in so and so …..’ and then you are satisfied. But no one ever is willing to ASK – WHY RAHU IS THERE – the question ‘WHY’ is never asked – you will ask why I have this or that problem – but you would never ASK further – on WHY a certain planet is in such a position – nobody asks – people are simply happy to find a shallow reason and that is how everybody is happy living a shallow life!

RAHU is shallowness – the ‘smoke’ is just on the outside – it never goes deep – it is not interested to know the root of the cause – as long as you remain ignorant – the smoke is happy, RAHU is IGNORANCE!

KETU is depth – never underestimate a man whose moon is with ketu – if other aspects support then such a man is not only brilliant but a genius – he has a certain depth that a RAHU-ish man can never understand!

A certain *quality* of understanding has to be there – then the truth can be given – KETU has the divine power to bring a certain *understanding* which RAHU doesn’t have. Rahu will go on and on and on – he has the accumulated knowledge of the whole world – but that is all!

“A man may know the whole world, he may have all the knowledge of the world – but if he is not aware of his own self – then he remains an ignorant fool.” – Osho

To ask ‘WHO YOU ARE’ – is the quality of RAHU

To ask – look within – self inquire -’WHO AM I’ is the quality of Shri Ketu!

Rahu traps you. Ketu liberates you. Ketu moves you to basic question – the question of your existence – of your ‘self’ –

“Who am I? Not the body, because it is decaying; not the mind, because the brain will decay with the body; not the personality, nor the emotions, for these also will vanish with death.” – Bhagwan Sri Ramana Maharshi

Truth is only to be found in deep silence. Knowledge is noisy. Truth is found only in silence.

Truth happens in a state of NOT knowing, Truth happens in innocence. Truth happens where there are no clouds of thoughts moving in your consciousness, when the sky is absolutely clear. – Osho

Rahu is being obsessed with intellectualism. Ketu is more driven towards intelligence!

Intellectualism is of the mind – and the mind is monkey. The mind is nothing but thoughts that hold no truth – it is only the heart that has the truth – Intelligence is of the heart! And meditation is a journey from MIND towards the HEART – the day your Mind is overcome – you are ‘in’ for the greatest miracle of your life – but RAHU brings many hurdles – your own self-induced desires create many hurdles. The greatest hurdle that blocks you from experiencing the truth, experiencing true love, experiencing the divine – is your ‘DESIRE’ – which is RAHU!

How to overcome the desires (RAHU)?

And the answer is found in the quote of Neem Karoli Baba – one of the greatest divine masters of recent time – whom the much famed CEO of Apple (Steve Jobs) had come to seek Baba’s divine blessings.

If you want to see God, kill desires. Desires are in the mind. When you have a desire for something, don’t act on it and it will go away. If you desire to drink this cup of tea, don’t, and the desire for it will go away. – Neem Karoli Baba 

And so let us not categorize RAHU – because that would like categorizing desires – desire is desire – good or bad – as long as desires remain – the unending cycle of birth and rebirth and the suffering continues…..it just never ends – it never can – unless a day comes when you stop focusing on the outside world and start focusing inward – and that’s meditation – that’s Shri Ketu!

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Don’t rush. Don’t be ignorant. And Don’t become too obsessive with sex. The last word may not go down well with many – but I don’t care. What is – *is*. And I am here to share what I have seen happening – it is not from the books – it is from my experiences. Rahu Mahadasha Remedies can help you only when you understand the true essence of Rahu.

What is Rahu – it is your desire. What is Rahu Mahadasha – it is the ‘free playground’ where now the batsman is Rahu. So people are telling you to do this and do that – it won’t help – you cannot change the batsman – you cannot tell him to go back – you have to FACE the RAHU batsman – there is simply no escape!

“The more you try to escape from your Karma – the more you would be chased – there is no escaping – some day, some time and at some place – you would be caught – clean-bowled.”

Rahu is darkness. I remember when I was travelling in the US – I had met a old friend – and he was doing exceptionally well – every day parties and parties and parties – and he was just enjoying his life – women, sex, pleasures – status -everything was at his feet – and you know what he was running through? He was running through the Mahadasha of RAHU! And he said to me – see – “Rahu loves me!” – I smiled and said “ Yes overwhelmingly – but be careful.” And then I left.

After 4 years – I get a call at 2 AM – and the same friend starts crying, he says

“ Addittya – I am bankrupt – I don’t know what to do?” –

His Rahu Dasha was over – and RAHU makes sure that whatever HE gives you – HE takes back. Now this friend is planning to come back to India – when there is no where to go – where will you go – but home, sweet home!

The question is – Why this happens? And the answer is simple “Ignorance”

RAHU makes you blind. So RAHU may shower immense power and status to you during HIS Mahadasha – and you may start wondering – “Why I was fearful of Rahu – when Rahu is such a goody good friend!” – But that is just a ‘trailer’ – the real picture starts soon and when it starts – you are ‘in’ for the greatest miseries of your life!

A very reputed builder in Pune who is now arrested for his misdoings- in an interview had mentioned that as soon as his Rahu Dasha begin – he was arrested, tried and finally imprisoned! So you see – now what the heck would you advice to such a man who has been in the construction industry for 30 long years with absolutely no spot on his image? How would you help him overcome RAHU dasha? So – you see – there is NO overcoming – you have to FACE the ‘RAHU’ (Karmic dues) as per your past karma – in last life and this life!

Results cannot be skipped. Remember this – this is of significance. You cannot overcome the results – you cannot overcome the ‘sentence’ ordered by the Supreme Court of this universe (God) – but you can always seek a way to ‘live through’ the dasha of Rahu! Overcoming means you are trying to escape – you will be caught. Facing means you are learning to be courageous – you will come through the dark tunnel of Rahu successfully!

Fear leads you to more miseries. Courage leads you to much happiness.

You want to ‘overcome’ because for you the Dasha of Rahu is an unknown kingdom. A coward wants to overcome, a courageous man wants to go ahead – experience – and come out – as a more mature, more insightful man!

And I want you and all my followers to become mature – I don’t want my followers to remain fearful – I am not the astrologer you have been visiting to – astrologers who simply pump in so much fear within you that you lose all hope and you become more miserable – than RAHU can make you! To my followers – I tell – Jump – jump in the unknown – face bravely – and come out of it ‘shinning like a diamond’!

RAHU loves the fearful, the coward men. It makes his job much easier – but Rahu is hateful of those men who are courageous, who have some much courage that they would simply walk through the dark tunnel of RAHU – with unwavering faith in the Lord, the master!

FAITH – is the DARING the soul to go beyond what the eyes can see!

And RAHU trembles with the word of FAITH! RAHU’s main job is to pull a blanket of ignorance over your eyes – to make you completely materialistic – to make you totally intellectual – all brains – no heart! And so when you are taking the Lord’s name – when you are being faithful – RAHU smells trouble – then he says that this guy is something – then you are making RAHU run for his job then the other way round! So you see – just a small grain of FAITH can move the mightiest mountain – then what the heck this black shadow called RAHU is?

But people are not ready to listen. They visit an astrologer – the astrologer typically says “Oh – your RAHU is starting – and then blah blah and blah and then you are so much worried that you start thinking of overcoming RAHU and then someone like you ask a question on how to overcome RAHU! – But to all my followers – I appeal – that let not this happen to you all – I would like to see a question that says “ How to FACE RAHU – then how to overcome Rahu!”

Rahu is temptation. Many temptations come, when you are going through RAHU. Lots of SEX, lots of POWER, lots of MONEY, lots of Properties – but if you are conscious – if your consciousness is more – then and only then can you FACE RAHU AND DEFEAT the temptations – not overcome! Overcome – means you are trying to run away – a beautiful, sexy girl is standing before you and you start shaking – the religious pundits would tell you to close your eyes – to not to think about that beautiful girl – but that is just like sitting on a bomb – someday – you move a bit and the bomb explodes! And that is how you see these so-called monks, nuns and pundits – being caught in so many sex scandals!

Buddha is not telling you to overcome desires – Buddha is simply trying to make you understand the futility of the desires. Buddha is not blocking you from seeing that beautiful girl – Buddha is simply trying to make you conscious – because when you become conscious – you yourself will realize the futility of your desires – you will realize that you are simply falling for the ‘looks’ – and looks never remain the same, looks can deceive! And the moment you realize the futility of following the so called beautiful girl – you will stop following – and that is the sign of true transformation! Transformation that happens through your own consciousness! A man of awareness, a conscious man simply looks into the eyes of temptation and defeats the temptation! An ignorant man looks for an escape route, to overcome – the intelligent man is a courageous man – he simply walks ahead like a tiger!

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Seventh is Sex. Let this be very clear. But we live in human world and so along with Sexual union comes the union of two families – to which we call ‘marriage’! SO – seventh house lordship is also of importance. Seventh sub-lord is also of importance. Seventh house placement in Chalit Kundali is also important. Seventh house aspects are also important. Seventh house in D9 Chart is also important – so you see – just by asking what will Rahu in 7th house lead to – is like asking – how the honeymoon is going to be? You cannot know, no one can help you with the answer – because there are so many factors that are going to play its role – in shaping the experience of a good or bad honeymoon!

So let us not generalize – but since you have asked – I am not going to disappoint you for the only reason that many people have many wrong ideas about Rahu in 7th house – and so maybe this answer can help clear some clouds of darkness (read-ignorance!)

Rahu in 7th house provides you with a very intellectual life-partner. The native is interested to get married – but for a certain reason! Shocked? Don’t be. In one of my visit to the US – I met a young lady in my office. Somehow she happened to be an ardent believer of astrology and so she approached me with her birth chart – and her question or rather inquiry was very straightforward. She said “ I want my ex-boyfriend back – for few days I have been not in touch with him – but I want to see – If I can get him back.”

I asked “Why?”

And she said “ Because I want to have kids, and he is my best option!”

This woman had Rahu in 7th house. Some objective is always in play – either money, property, fame, easy accessibility to luxuries or as in this case – children!

Now why this happens? Rahu is your desire – you obsession -in 7th you are obsessed to find a perfect partner who can help you achieve your dreams, your desires, your selfish motives!

The word is perfect partner. And so Rahu in 7th often delays marriage – because Rahu is that selfish desire that wants a partner who can serve the purpose – perfectly.

Many times – you also see men and women – who have had many sexual experiences and pleasures but still they never marry – because they never found that ‘perfect partner’!

There was a man who remained unmarried his whole life, and when he was dying, ninety years old, somebody asked him, “You have remained unmarried your whole life, but you have never said what the reason was. Now you are dying, at least quench our curiosity. If there is any secret, now you can tell it, because you are dying; you will be gone. Even if the secret is known, it can’t harm you.”

The man said, “Yes, there is a secret. It is not that I am against marriage, but I was searching for a perfect woman. I searched and searched, and my whole life slipped by.”

The inquirer asked, “But upon this big earth, so many millions of people, half of them women, couldn’t you find one perfect woman?”

A tear rolled down from the eye of the dying man. He said, “Yes, I did find one.”

The inquirer was absolutely shocked. He said, “Then what happened? Why didn’t you get married?”

And the old man said, “But the woman was searching for a perfect husband.”

So you see – that is how Rahu in 7th house is – it simply makes you obsessed towards finding a perfect husband or a perfect wife!

Here one gets obsessed with perfection. Often the native is looking for perfection in his or her partner. And a man who is behind ‘perfection’ is already on his way to hell!

“In life, only mad people ask for perfection. The perfectionist is another name for someone who is getting ready to become mad. Perfectionism is a neurosis. And the more you try to become perfect, the more frustrated you will become. The goal of perfection has led the whole of humanity towards madness; the earth has almost become a madhouse. I don’t teach perfection. What do I teach? I teach wholeness, not perfection. Be whole; be total; but don’t think about perfection.”

– Osho

 

Rahu in 7th is a perfect representation of man ‘chasing for a perfect partner’!

And the result is disastrous. The native with 7th Rahu – is happy when he finds that perfect girl with perfect figure. Oh when she talks, he feels as if she is singing, when she smiles – he feels as if the whole world is smiling, when she walks, he feels as if she is no less than Miss Universe! And so he jumps on his horse and finally gets married! And then the real picture begins! Somebody asked then what was that? That was just a ‘trailer’ – and trailers are always very catchy, very attractive – else who will come to watch the ‘movie’?

So Rahu in 7th native often feels deceived. And no one is to blame but his own madness for perfection, his own ignorance, his own foolishness, his own strong desires for having a sexy wife or a sexy husband. Sex is enjoyed – but the cost of the sexual union is far more painful than those few hours that he enjoys in the bed.

But Rahu 7th is not done. He never realizes his or her own mistakes. And so the next thing is to start with is the ‘blaming game’. And this blaming game either separates the couple or they never trust each other and yet remain together to safeguard their comfortable family life. And an unhappy married life is a perfect setting for a shady extra-marital affairs. So Rahu 7 – if other aspects are negative – gets involved with that ‘other’ woman or ‘other’ man.

Rahu 7 remains an ignorant fool – who goes on blaming the whole world for his own foolishness! And that is the greatest tragedy of Rahu 7 person – in fact this ignorance towards partner – business or sexual – leads this man to many miseries than otherwise.

“If you suffer it is because of you, if you feel blissful it is because of you. Nobody else is responsible – only you and you alone. You are your hell and your heaven too.”
-OSHO

 

But Rahu 7 – never understands this. He or she goes through many break-ups – divorces – and yet they never realize that it was always them and not the other person to be blamed for their miserable marriage or partnerships or relationships.

However Rahu 7 definitely gives good sexual pleasures. Why? Because Rahu is your desire – and such a person is born with a strong desire to satisfy his immense, over-obsessive sexual desire – desires to have more and more sex, to have all the fun in the bed! And since human birth comes to let you satisfy your desires – Rahu in 7 provides you with sexual experiences – good or bad – that depends on the placement of Mars and seventh house lordship.

Rahu never stops.

“I DON’T STOP WHEN I’M TIRED. ISTOP WHEN I’M DONE.”

 

But Rahu never stops. Mars or a Martian will stop when it is done. But Rahu goes on and on and on – neither his sexual needs are satisfied nor his habit of chasing for all the glittering, shinning stuff stops – he just goes on and on till one day he drops down dead. And then taken to the graveyard – just to restart his quest for more deeper sexual needs for the next life – that life – human or animal – depends on the quality of his or her karma.

If other aspects support than you also see a henpecked husband who never goes beyond the word of his wife! He becomes so much obsessed with his wife that it becomes a danger to the existence of his mother! Because then he would never listen to his mother but only his wife!

So Rahu in 7th – brings many sexual desires – person is obsessed with sex – I have examined charts of many young boys and girls – who have become sexually active – too early compared to their counterparts.

Last week – a man with Rahu 7 asked a good question – he asked “How can I fulfill my desires – sexual, material….”

And the answer is found in this beautiful picture quote:

“The moment you become aware of your desires you can easily see that no desire can ever be fulfilled”
-Osho

 

Rahu 7 – person should definitely meditate – for this is the only way towards experiencing a much rewarding life. Life that is no more obsessive of a certain desire but free from all desires.

The key to overcoming the strong sexual desires of this placement is in becoming more and more aware, conscious of your ‘self’ – and the way towards consciousness, towards awareness, towards self-realization – is through ‘meditation’!

“Meditate, find out your own center first. Before you can relate with somebody else, relate with yourself: that is the basic requirement to be fulfilled. Without it, nothing is possible. with it nothing is impossible.”
-OSHO

 

Planet placements is one thing and your own ‘Will-power’ is the other dimension of your life. With strong will-power – you certainly can raise the level of your consciousness – your awareness – and when awareness comes, you are no more the same, everything around you is the same, but you are no more the same – you have ‘arrived’ – you have found your ‘peace’!

Meditate, pray, eat, sleep – let your life be more like a poem, like a song – let joy be the only answer to all your questions.

The greater the consciousness the greater is the joy of your life!
