There is one beautiful old Hindi song, it goes like this:<\/p>\n

\u201coh re taal mile nadii ke jal me.<\/p>\n

nadii mile saagar me.<\/p>\n

saagar mile kaun se jal me.<\/p>\n

koi jaane naa\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

The song lyric is insightful. It says \u2014 \u201cthe lake water merges with the river. The river water merges with the ocean water\u2026however with whom does the ocean water merges nobody knows\u2026.\u201d<\/p>\n

Similar is the state of Atma (Soul). The true SWAROOP of Atma is as vast and deep as the OCEAN.<\/p>\n

And just the way the source is the Ocean in which all the waters of this planet merge \u2014 similarly the source of the ATMAKARAK PLANET is in the NAKSHATRA in which it falls and further the NAKSHATRA LORD’s strength and placement!<\/p>\n

So on the circumference \u2014 Atmakarak Planet has absolutely no power however it is the Nakshatra and it’s Lord that has all the control or rather the final say in the matters of life.<\/p>\n

So whether your ATMAKARAK is SATURN OR JUPITER OR MARS OR VENUS OR MERCURY OR MOON OR SUN \u2014 it doesn’t matter much. What matters is the NAKSHATRA in which Saturn as Atmakarak falls in.<\/p>\n

Even if your ATMAKARAK SUN is debilitated in LIBRA or ATMAKARAK MOON is debilitated in SCORPIO or VENUS ATMAKARAK IS debilitated in VIRGO or MERCURY ATMAKARAK is debilitated in PISCES \u2014 still that doesn’t mean that you have a weak Atmakarak simply because it is the Nakshatra in which your ATMAKARAK is placed that matters above all.<\/p>\n

If Atmakarak Saturn is in Ketu’s Nakshatra \u2014 the native is likely to have strong inclination towards spirituality. If Atmakarak Sun is in Jupiter\u2019s Nakshatra then the person is mostly found to be pious and religious by nature. A God Loving person.<\/p>\n

So it is the Nakshatra \u2014 the seed in which your ATMAKARAK PLANET is placed is what matters and the state of its Lord and it’s placement.<\/p>\n

Many times a disciple thinks that the master has given him all the secrets. Ananda also had the same feeling. Then one day when there was nobody around Buddha \u2014 Ananda asked \u201c Master have you shared everything with me or there is something left\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Buddha smiled. Ananda was his elder cousin brother. But he became a disciple of Buddha. He had always been more like an elder brother \u2014 the subtle ego that ‘ \u2019I am the elder brother of Buddha’ always remained \u2014 until Buddha died. Looking at Ananda \u2014 Buddha said \u201c Do you see this leaf in my hand and do you see the millions of leaves in the forest?\u201d<\/p>\n

Ananda said \u201c Yes I see that you have just one leaf in your hand while there are so many leaves in this forest.\u201d<\/p>\n

Buddha said \u201c I have shared only this one leaf with you \u2014 whereas there are millions of ‘leaf’ to be shared”<\/p>\n

Ananda fell at Buddha’s feet. He started crying\u2026.he was a very emotional man, sensitive. He said \u201c Master \u2014 for centuries to come there will nobody of your caliber. I am truly blessed to be in your omnipresence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Astrology is just that one leaf in Buddha\u2019s hand. Whereas beyond Astrology – there are millions and millions of \u2018leaves\u2019 (secrets) that are yet to be shared – but only with those who have a certain depth of understanding!<\/p>\n

The MASTER is the OCEAN of WISDOM. And this is the whole essence of all. You think that the Master has shared all the ‘leaves’ (secrets) of the forest while only a few are kept as secret. The reality is – just a few ‘leaves’ are shared with you – whereas there are millions and millions of secrets (leaves) of the whole forest (universe) that is still to be shared – only when YOU are Ready.<\/p>\n\n

“Last forty years -what I have shared is just one leaf – the whole forest is filled with leaves and those are yet to be shared, yet to be revealed.”<\/strong>\n-Buddha<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

On a very practical ground – ATMAKARAKA is all about the WILLPOWER!<\/p>\n

In Hindi there is a beautiful word – ATMABAL (\u0906\u0924\u094d\u092e\u092c\u0932) – meaning SELF-POWER!<\/p>\n

SOUL is SELF. And the\u00a0SELF is the GURU\u00a0– says one of the greatest divine master and whom I love the most – BHAGAVAN RAMANA MAHARSHI!<\/p>\n\n

“Guru, God and Self are One.”- Ramana Maharshi<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Who is the SELF – It is your CONSCIOUSNESS.\nWho is GOD – It is the ultimate universal CONSCIOUSNESS.\nWHo is GURU – It is the CONSCIOUSNESS that has become ONE with the universal CONSCIOUSNESS *GOD*!<\/p>\n

GURU. GOD. SELF – are ONE! So beautiful, so deep and so enlightening.<\/p>\n

And so ATMAKARAKA simply signify your SELF-POWER. There are many men and women who have fallen in deep miseries of life and yet because of their SELF-POWER (ATMABAL) they were able to RISE and to much greater heights!<\/p>\n\n

“What defines us is how well we rise after falling.”<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There are people who make fun of those who in the PAST – were drunkards, running behind sex – but now have transformed into something so beautiful. The most popular saying is \u201c After doing everything under the sky – now he has remembered GOD.\u201d<\/p>\n

The irony is that – yes after doing everything under the sky – this man has remembered GOD but what about those who haven\u2019t but are just happy in criticizing him – offending him – ridiculing him – what about these men and women – they REMAIN WHERE THEY ARE – whereas such a man who has remembered GOD – who has decided to transform within – who is taking efforts to overcome his weakness – such a man someday becomes SAINT PAUL – someday becomes SAINT VALMIKI – these men were the most materialistic men – most dreadful men and yet a time came in their life when they became great SAINTS – so great that the world have ever known!<\/p>\n

That is why I always say – that only that man and that woman can rise and touch the sky who have done everything under the sky – and SELF-REALIZED the futility of all – such a man – such a woman can and does progress on the spiritual path – because they have three most beautiful qualities within them – INTENSITY & UNWAVERING FAITH & PATIENCE.<\/p>\n

Millions and millions of people are living around this VAST HUMAN WORLD – all they need is the SELF-POWER – but the matter of fact is that 90% of this human population lacks the SELF-POWER – they need someone to help them realize their SELF-POWER. This SELF-POWER is what ATMAKARAKA is all about.<\/p>\n

But people are shallow – so then they start giving many flavors and illusions and stories to this ATMAKARAKA planet – the MONKEY MIND is always in love with creating as many fancies and illusions around a given topic!<\/p>\n

While the TRUTH is something else. The TRUTH is simple. In fact the most beautiful things in life are SIMPLE. Love is SIMPLE. HEART is SIMPLE. GOD is SIMPLE.<\/p>\n\n

SIMPLE IS BEAUTIFUL<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There is beauty in SIMPLICITY. It is said that Jesus was simple. Very simple. The Roman put Him in prison. Even today if you all visit Jerusalem – you will find the prison in which Jesus was kept along with other prisoners! Today that prison has become a sacred place! Imagine what the prisoners who were kept with Jesus – would ever have had imagined that this simple man whom the people call Isa (Jesus) and the place where he was imprisoner would become so sacred and divine for almost half the population of today\u2019s human world!<\/p>\n

But Jesus was simple – when Pontus Pilate asked him \u201cWhat is the TRUTH\u201d – Jesus didn\u2019t answer. He remained SILENT. It was the Buddhist SILENCE.<\/p>\n

Truth need to be shared with only those who can understand – who are willing to understand.<\/p>\n

Astrology is also simple – but people are many and they find great \u2018stimulation\u2019 in making things complicated. The more you are driven by your mind – the more you would find great amusement in complicating the matters of your life.<\/p>\n

Yesterday – someone said \u201cMy father is making my life hell.\u201d I said \u201cThen leave him – let him live his life and you live yours.\u201d<\/p>\n

But do you think he will listen – He will not because people are attached – and it is this attachment that eventually goes on making your life a HELL – a sea of MISERY.<\/p>\n\n

“Attachment is the source of all Suffering.”<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The root of suffering is ATTACHMENT.<\/p>\n

People continue to live in FAILED MARRIAGE – because they are afraid of the SOCIETY – what will the society say? And so for false PRIDE – they continue to live in a miserable life – a failed life!<\/p>\n

Emotions are good – but they should be purified. And as long as you live in this human world – you need to show\u00a0emotional intelligence.<\/p>\n\n

“Emotional intelligence is your ability to recognize and understand emotions in yourself and others, and your ability to use this awareness to manage your behavior and relationships.”<\/strong>\n\n-Travis Bradberry and Jean Greaves<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Whether it is your FATHER or MOTHER or WIFE or HUSBAND – if living separately can bring peace to you and them – then don\u2019t hesitate to step out in the wild and live your life.<\/p>\n

The whole message to all my followers and readers is simple – don\u2019t be an EMOTIONAL FOOL. Instead be EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENT person.<\/p>\n

But people are shallow – they remain attached to their old friend – the misery!<\/p>\n\n

“YOU DON’T WANT TO LOSE 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.”<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

In life many times you have to make some HARD DECISIONS – and if you can\u2019t make those decisions then you remain stuck in the many miseries of your life.<\/p>\n

In reality – there is no such thing as my SHANI is ATMAKARAKA or my SUN is ATMAKARAKA etc. But Astrology has become a great money churning business – some entertainment need to be there – and there can be no actors as great as the 9 planets in Astrology! So people make many stories around ATMAKARAKA – as long as there are takers – who cares about TRUTH!<\/p>\n

But since you have asked – it is necessary to remember that it is not the ATMAKARAKA planet that matters – it is the NAKSHATRA in which the ATMAKARAKA is placed is what matters. It is basically just to \u2018\u2019measure\u2019\u2019 the SELF-POWER of the native – how strong he or she is from within – how much depth of understanding he or she has – how much intensity he or she has – so it has more to do with the STRENGTH – in fact Jaimini Sutras are primarily based on finding the CHARACTER and STRENGTH of each KARAKA – it doesn\u2019t matter what planet is KARAKA – what matter is – the state, the strength of that KARAKA – then whether it is ATMAKARAKA or DARAKARAKA or other KARAKAs that are mentioned in the Jaimini Sutras.<\/p>\n

Astrology is a very deep subject and in the ancient days\u00a0it was practiced only by the Brahmins.\u00a0And these were pious Brahmins who were deeply engrossed on the spiritual path. Astrology was just a small part of their vast knowledge and wisdom. Now don\u2019t be quick to judge my sentence – because when I say BRAHMIN – it has nothing to do with CASTE – it has more to do with the STATE OF BEING. Because during the old ancient days – a person was addressed as BRAHMIN based on his in born QUALITIES and NOT based on the family in which he is born! During the ancient days – it was the GURU (the master) who would decide whether the young boy who has come to Him for learning – is a BRAHMIN, KSHATRIYA, VAISHYA or SHUDRA – totally based on HIS SELF-QUALITIES – GUNA! And all the four VARNAs were equally treated with love and humanity.<\/p>\n

But then time flew by – and then there was nobody of the caliber of such great GURUs and then slowly the society started deciding the VARNA or CASTE based on the family in which the native is born!<\/p>\n

TRUTH is hard. Many may not like. But then have I ever shared anything for LIKES? Never. Because likes is also of the mind – that is why people are quick to say \u201cI like you\u201d – but hesitate to say \u201cI love you\u201d! Because LOVE is DANGEROUS. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n

“Love is a dangerous path and only those who have courage can travel it.<\/strong>\nAnd I say to you it is the same, just like meditation-only for those who are courageous.<\/strong>\nAnd there are only two ways to reach the divine: either meditation or love.<\/strong>\nFind out which is your way, which can be your destiny.”<\/strong>\n-OSHO<\/strong><\/blockquote>\n
\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Only a man who has loved – only a woman who has loved – can someday also fall in love with GOD! And then there is no looking back – the road is clear and you are ready to walk\u2026.<\/p>\n

Love to all my readers and followers – stay blessed and remember – to enhance the quality of your ATMA (Soul) and ATMA-KARAKA (Soul-Self-signifying planet) \u2014 the only way is to start meditating, start chanting the name of the lord. Doesn\u2019t matter whose name you chant – as long as you chant with love, with faith, with devotion!<\/p>\n\n

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

Yoga Sana is for your physical wellbeing. Chanting is for your soul\u2019s well-being. Through chanting you can bring the monkey mind under control. Instead of thinking too much about what my ATMAKARAKA planet means – how beautiful it will be if you all start focusing on strengthening your ATMA (Soul)!<\/p>\n

But who wants to listen? Those few who have listened have started experiencing that which others haven\u2019t – Bliss!<\/p>\n

Enough for today. Meditate everyday and when you meditate – focus on the chanting – focus on bringing the monkey mind to the NOW moment – the PRESENT moment. Your meditation succeeds the moment you are able to BE HERE NOW – and that is whole beauty – my fellows – that is the whole beauty – to BE HERE NOW.<\/p>\n\n
