Namaste.
Last few days I was very busy in something very important. It was about my new book and I am finally done with it. Very soon it will be published in the month of November and the subject of the book is very, very significant and it is going to help each one of you. So remember my words, once the book is published in November, I will definitely let you all know about it.
I was just looking at the ephemeris and I see that Venus is coming into the sign of Cancer and Mercury into the sign of Leo. On 20th August, Venus in Cancer softens hearts, deepens emotions, and draws our attention towards affection, home, and intimacy. On 30th August, Mercury moves into Leo, turning Leo into the very heart of celestial drama. On 7th September, a lunar eclipse will stir emotional waters, revealing truths and karmic closures. And on 21st September, a solar eclipse will act as a cosmic reset, marking new beginnings and demanding release of ego-based attachments.
September is not business as usual. It will be charged with intense energies, heightened emotions, and sudden turning points. Expect grand shifts, theatrical twists, and life events as if on a stage. With the spotlight glaring, the cosmos is scripting a month of passion, power plays, and transformation. And we are all part of this act.

Relationships with mother figures or women in general will be supportive. At the same time, Mercury moves into your fifth house of creativity, romance, and self-expression on the 30th of August. This is a powerful boost for communication in love, artistic pursuits, and even speculative ventures. If you are single, charming conversations can spark new romantic possibilities. If you are creative, your words will carry magnetic appeal. However, with the lunar eclipse on 7th September, certain romantic illusions may dissolve. A love affair or a creative plan that was running on ego or pride may reach a turning point. The universe is helping you replace drama with genuine joy. Stay open to changes and you will find that what remains after the eclipse is truly worth keeping.

Overall, the period from 20th August to 7th September is a period of change. Always remember, except for change, everything else changes. Change is constant. Once a seeker went to a saint and asked, master, when will my life stop changing so much? When will it become stable? The saint smiled and pointed to the flowing river nearby. Look at the river, he said. It flows without clinging to any one place, yet it always reaches the ocean. Life too will keep changing. New currents, unexpected turns, but if you stay aligned with your inner truth, you will always reach your destination.
This period from 20th August to 7th September is exactly like that river. Venus softens the heart, Mercury sharpens the mind, and the eclipses stir the currents of destiny. Do not resist the flow. Allow the universe to take away what no longer serves you and bring in what will nourish your soul. Remember, storms come not to drown you, but to clear your path. Stay anchored in prayer, consistent mantra chanting, and you will find that even in the greatest drama of the skies, your spirit remains unshaken.
The power of mantra chanting is immense. The great spiritual master, Sri Brahmachaytanya Gondavalekar Maharaj, says, chant the name of the Lord the way a blind man fills water in a pot. He cannot see how much water is in it, he just keeps pouring. In the same way, keep chanting the mantra without worrying about how much you have done or how far you have reached. When you chant like this, the mantra slowly, slowly seeps into every atom of your body and every corner of your mind. Then, without even trying, your whole being, body, mind and soul will naturally be absorbed in the mantra. The first result of chanting the mantra is that dirt is cleared from the consciousness or the mirror of the mind.
So as you get ready for a highly dramatic month of September, focus on being consistent with your mantra chanting. Reading hundreds of spiritual books and talking on spiritual subjects is not going to help much until you yourself dive within and get hold of your mind by doing the chantings regularly and with deep faith, love, and devotion.
Sant Kabir says, chant the divine name always with the constant remembrance of God. For the seed of God’s name to grow into a plant of bhakti, it needs to be watered by doing constant japa, by devotion. Unless there is bhakti, true devotion, you remain like a plastic rose, flawless to look at, but without the living fragrance. You may impress the eyes, but you will never touch the heart. Only when you allow yourself to be drenched in the nectar of bhakti do you become the real rose, alive, breathing, radiant. Yes, you will have thorns, the sufferings, the trials, the scars. But along with them comes the fragrance that reaches the soul.
In this world, there are countless perfect looking roses. Smooth and beautiful, but they are lifeless. The real ones are imperfect, weathered, and a little wild. Yet they carry the perfume of truth and the beauty of being alive. So decide. Do you want to be a perfect, good-looking plastic rose that will never fade because it was never alive? Or do you want to be a real, imperfect rose with thorns, with struggles, yet overflowing with fragrance, beauty, and life? Choose your answer consciously. Because what you choose is what you become.
Jai Sri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
