Title: Universal Truth

Content: If you look deeply, if you look beyond mundane life, beyond the day-to-day life we live... If you contemplate on a night sky... you will see that the most intimate and complete relationship man owns is the relationship to the Universe. In fact, it is man's ultimate relationship: he takes birth, lives and merges back into it. Nothing happens outside of it; even his enlightenment happens in it. Just as the child grows in his mother's womb, man evolves in the cosmic womb. He is the microcosm of a tremendous cosmic macrocosm. Therefore, all components of man, from the grossest to the subtlest, come from the universe: his body, his mind, his energy and his very consciousness are elements of the cosmos. Universe and man are indivisible. Whatever happens in the Universe resounds in the human consciousness, and whatever happens in the human consciousness resounds in the Universe. Both are a unique consciousness.

Title: The Great Vedic Astronomy

Content: Man has been deeply fascinated by the Cosmos since the beginning of time. Early cultures worked on understanding the phenomena that happen in the sky; they observed them in order to understand what role the sky played in their lives. From these attempts, the science of astronomy was born. In this field, the ancient Vedic contribution is well known. The earliest references to astronomy are found in the Ṛg Veda, which are dated 2000 BC. Around 500 BCE, Āryabhaṭa, a great astronomer, presented a system that showed the earth to spin on its axis and considered the motions of the planets with respect to the Sun. He also discovered how the lunar and solar eclipses occur and was the earliest to discover that the orbits of the planets around the Sun are ellipses, just as Copernicus and Galileo concluded a thousand years later. He even determined the diameter of the Earth to be 5,000 yojanas, approximately 36,000 km, which is very close to the actual figure.

Title: Moon in Gemini

Content: These traditions related these objects and their movements to natural events such as rain, drought, seasons and tides; they related them to auspicious or inauspicious occurrences on planet Earth. Jyotiṣa, the science of Vedic astrology, took birth out of observations and perceptions based on these astronomical phenomena. The first astronomers were actually Ṛṣis and sages, who understood the sky was a divine happening; they identified celestial objects with energies and Gods and connected astronomy to astrology.

Title: Jyotiṣa Simply Put

Content: Astrology manifested in the inner vision of the ancient sages and Ṛṣis of India. These yogīs and enlightened beings were able to see beyond the realm of names and forms. They could feel and express the subtle reality that exists behind cosmic phenomena. As such, they perceived the primal powers of cosmic intelligence in the planets and stars (the macrocosm), and worshipped the cosmic powers within themselves (the microcosm) as powers of their being. By concentrating intensely on the Sun and other planets, they understood the movement of the life force in their body, and by meditating on the life force, they also came to understand the movement of the Sun and the planets in the heavens. Through this technique called samyama, they could unravel the secrets of the universe. They brought down their understanding into a system of Vedic science, which became known as Jyotiṣa: the science of light.

Content: Parāśara was one such sage. He is known for being the father of Jyotiṣa. He wrote the magnum opus Brhat Parāśara Hora Śāstra, which systematically explains the theory of predictive astrology. According to history, he is the grandson of Vaśiṣṭa and also father of Veda Vyāsa, who wrote the great epic Māhābhārata. The depth of his astrological knowledge was so great that one evening while crossing a river in a boat, he casually looked at his favorite stars in heaven and suddenly realized it was an exceptionally auspicious moment. He concluded that if a child were conceived at that moment, he would be an expert in the scriptures. So he told this to the lady rowing the boat and requested that she marry him. She agreed and the son born out of their spiritual union was Veda Vyāsa!

Title: Jyotiṣa and Living Enlightenment

Content: The major course of life- if you will get enlightened or not can be predicted. Principles can be predicted, not policies! Having an idea about your horoscope will give you intelligence and acceptance in your life: intelligence to take decisions and the acceptance to bear the inevitable things. According to me, a seeker should have a basic knowledge about his horoscope.’

Jyotiṣa can help one to read his destiny. But what is actually destiny?

There are only two types of destinies:

The first one is destiny as defined by a dictionary: destiny lived within the boundaries of the ego, with its own expectations, hopes, desires, successes and failures. It is constantly changing. Because it evolves under mind’s law, it is mechanical, accidental and coincidental. This ‘destiny’ is lived in the dimension of the mind, so it has no existential reality in itself. It is nothing more than a reproduction of one’s past in the

Content: Moon in Gemini

Content: present, which conditions the future in a mechanical way.

Content: The other destiny is existential and ultimate; it is the flowering of consciousness into enlightenment. Understand: the only thing predestined in the scheme of life is that man is meant to evolve to reach enlightenment. The rest is just incidental; it happens for no other reason than to teach and mold the being towards seeking enlightenment. Living enlightenment is all about making conscious choices, free from the unconscious push and pull of the saṁskāras.

Content: The further you wander from your center, the more you lose yourself in your periphery, the more you are subjected to incidents and accidents. Whereas, when you live enlightenment, you are centered, you are within your boundaries, you are aware. You become predestined, because your predestination is to reach enlightenment; your destiny is to become more and more aware. Then you become the agent of your fate,

Content: For that to happen, a simple understanding of the forces at work in you can help clarity manifest in your daily routine. In addition to this, you can follow a couple of guidelines to keep your body healthy with the science of Āyurveda and raise your energy level with yoga, the use of gemstones, rudrākṣa beads, mantra chanting, and a basic knowledge of your psychological tendencies coupled with the ancient Vedic wisdom expressed by the great enlightened Masters.

Content: All these remedies will bring lucidity about your mental set-up and support for eventually dropping your conditionings, unclutching from your mind and emotions and fostering your intelligence and energy to Live Enlightenment.

Title: Understanding Grahas and Nakṣatras

Content: The grahas are energy centers, energy fields that planets exert in the universe. Each of the nine main grahas in Vedic astrology has a specific energy field that creates specific effects on our planet Earth. For example, the moon has a strong impact on the movements of the sea and on plant growth; it even influences the mind of human beings. In the same way, the major energy centers produce an effect on living beings and influence their potential at birth, their mental set-up and, therefore, the course of their destiny. In Jyotiṣa, grahas are often referred as the agents of the karmas for which the soul took birth. Human personality and life have their counterparts in the structure of the cosmic physiology, represented by the grahas and the nakṣatras. There are nine grahas (nine influences or ‘planets’) in our solar system: the Sun (Sūrya), the Moon (Candra), Mars (Mangal), Mercury (Budha), Jupiter (Guru), Venus (Śukra), Saturn (Śani) and two nodes called Rāhu

Content: (ascending lunar node) and Ketu (descending lunar node). These represent archetypes. Sūrya, for example, represents consciousness; Candra represents the cosmic mind; Budha represents the cosmic intellect, etc.

Content: Most of the calendars of the world have been set by the Sun’s and Moon’s movements (measuring the day, month and year) and were of great importance for agriculture, because the harvest depended on planting at the correct time of the year. But the Vedic tradition uses a system of 27 nakṣatras to calculate months. The nakṣatra is the constellation in which the moon sits in the heaven at a particular time. In each month, the full moon sits in a particular constellation, and the Vedic month will have this nakṣatra’s name.

Content: Each nakṣatra falls under the rule of one, sometimes two grahas. Each graha is assigned three nakṣatras. For example, if the child is born when the moon sits in Aśvini nakṣatra, his birth star will be Aśvini, and his sign will be Aries (called mesha in Sanskrit), ruled by planet Mars (Mangala). Bharaṇi and Kṛttika, the

Title: Energy Centers and Gemini

Content: Viśuddhi cakra: Expressing one’s Uniqueness There are 7 major energy centers in our body, called cakras in Sanskrit. They are directly connected to our emotions and impact different aspects for our personality and the way we relate to ourselves, others, and to Existence. Each planet resonates with a particular energy center in the body. Mercury is connected to Viśuddhi cakra, which is located in the throat region. Viśuddhi flowers when you stop comparing yourself to others and express your own uniqueness. We are always looking to achieve in the outer world. This is the root cause of comparison and the jealousy we feel as a consequence. People respect you only if you have achieved something tangible in the outer world. Educational degrees, beauty titles, company designations, published papers and bank balances are all scales that society uses to grade you.

Title: Moon in Gemini

Content: Moon in Gemini

Content: First of all, you don't need to be graded by anyone, including yourself. Place trust in your own intelligence. There is much you can achieve in the outer world.

Content: But understand that there is much to be achieved in the inner world as well. Outer-world achievements are all incidental. They will get you instant name and fame and money. But the real achievement is in the inner world.

Content: Center yourself well with awareness and simply take part in the outer-world activities like a lotus untouched in a pond. Let the work in the periphery go on undisturbed, but center yourself in your Being. Automatically, you will stop swaying in accordance with the outer world achievements and feel stability and joy in the center of your own Being. Finding your center is the only way out of the whole cycle of comparison with others that does not allow you to express your uniqueness as easily as it could.

Content: How to manage vata?

Title: Factors that can balance vata are warm and soothing food with added oil and fat, as well as sweet tastes. Cold items should be avoided and caffeine should be stopped, as it strains vata's nervous system. Mental and emotional peace and lifestyle routines are important to restore and maintain balance. Vata can be corrected by using warm sesame oil for self-massage. If you can't massage the whole body, at least apply warm oil on the feet and scalp. Maintaining a regular routine in terms of eating, sleeping and other activities will also help you to unclutch the mind.

One should avoid drinks with high caffeine as vata finds it disturbing. As a snack, it is better to prefer nuts that are heavy and oily, as opposed to dry and salty.

Content: All sweet fruits are good for vata. One should avoid unripe fruit that are too astringent. Cinnamon, cardamom, cumin, ginger and cloves should be favored.

Title: Halāsana

Content: On the final exhale in shoulder stand, keeping your legs straight, lower your feet to the floor behind the back of your head. Continue to support your lower back with your hands. Breathe here for 6 - 12 times. After the last inhale, exhale and slowly roll your back onto the floor, bending the knees halfway and allow the legs to be on the mat.

Title: Benefits:

Content: These two postures work on stretching your shoulders and spine, and relax the region of the thyroid gland. Headaches are very much related to tightness in the shoulder region. This tightness does not allow the blood to flow freely in the head, causing fatigue and lack of mental clarity. By relaxing the whole spine and neck, one gains instant relaxation and well-being, and therefore an ease to express oneself.

Before each repetition of Sūrya Namaskār, one chants the corresponding mantra, which is a glorification of the Sun. This simple method leads us to the experience that the outer Sun symbolizes the shining intelligence in our inner sky. We come to understand our connectivity to the cosmic energy that pervades all the grahas. The characteristics of our sign get activated to unfold its inherent potential.

Title: Mantra for Gemini

Content: Aum hrīṁ Nityānandāya namaḥ (Om Hreem Nithyanandaya Namaha) In this mantra, Aum is the primordial sound and is the representation of Śiva’s energy, the male aspect of the universe. Actually, Aum is the cosmic sound that pervades the grahas, their movements and their effects on us. The Bīja mantra (seed sound), Hrīṁ, has no linguistic meaning but encloses a powerful vibration which attunes you to the primordial energy from which the grahas originate: the female energy, Śakti. Nithyananda means Eternal Bliss and invokes the truth which is our true nature, and the nature of our own intelligence. It is the pūrṇa mūla mantra (the complete mantra) because it represents a straight path to both Śakti (success in this world) and to Śiva (success in the cosmic world) which is ‘enlightenment’.

Title: Moon in Gemini

Content: 57

Content: Namaha means 'I surrender' my ego to Existence, to the Master. Thus this sacred mantra awakens the completeness and fulfillment inside us and balances the male and female energies which exist inside every one of us.

Content: The repetition of this mantra is a powerful technique which can be performed throughout the day as you go about your daily routine. It can also be uttered aloud 108 times every morning. The number 108, which is a multiple of 9, has been sacred since time immemorial. That is because the number 9 is the limit of all numbers: 0 to 9 is all one needs to make up an infinite amount of numbers. Therefore, 108 symbolizes and connects you to infinity.

Content: Its beautiful sound should be pronounced clearly and as loudly as possible and from the navel region.

Content: Eventually, this mantra will replace your inner chatter and create silence in your mind. Your whole being integrates itself towards enlightenment which leads you out of the dynamic of karma and planetary effects.

Title: Five Techniques for a Gemini Mind

Content: Give up boredom! Are you feeling bored? If you think too much, naturally, you will be bored. Through thinking, you compare time as past, future and present. Through thinking you can hope. Your thinking will ask for the meaning of it all. If you ask ‘What is the meaning of life?’ you will give a meaningless answer to it. And when this meaninglessness is felt, one feels bored. Animals are never bored; trees and stones are not bored. They never ask what the purpose of life is, so they never feel it is meaningless. They accept their existence as it is. There is no boredom ever. Man only feels bored. And to counteract boredom laughter is necessary. Laughter is the natural antidote to boredom. Seriousness is the fuel of it. So which will you choose?

Title: Live your devotion

Content: Devotion towards God is the ultimate happening in life; it paves the way to your enlightenment. When

Content: Moon in Gemini 59

Content: your prayer becomes gratitude, you attract more benevolence to you. Real prayer is not reading prayer books, it is not offering material things to god, it is not donating money to temples; it is deep and silent gratitude to the whole of Existence for being what it is. It is the undaunted trust that Existence is taking care. Prayer is a celebration of the benevolence of Existence. When you pray this way, Existence responds. When Existence responds, it comes to you as more benevolence in your life. This is the virtuous cycle of prayer and blessing.

Title: Learn to surrender

Content: Worry and tension come when you think you are the doer. And you get tired soon. But if you shift the sense of ownership to a higher energy and continue to do your work blissfully, you will feel tremendously relaxed! Be very clear, when you surrender to an enlightened Master, you are actually surrendering to one who has no ego, no identity and hence no vested interest of his own. He is one with and overflowing

Content: 60 Moon in Gemini

Content: with Existence. By holding his hand, you ask him to take you also to the ocean of bliss he is in. When you surrender to the higher energy, you can never feel drained and exhausted because you are directly connected to the one who is an embodiment of infinite energy. This is the gift of surrender. Become the surrender.

Title: Be Physical

Content: Be Physical Our problems in life are not speculative. You cannot solve them by thinking only. You can only solve them by feeling them. You can only enter into those experiences of struggles and pain, instead of standing aside and trying to resist it. To integrate your reactions to life, you have to feel them fully, instead of suppressing them pretending everything is alright. The mind thinks it can even find solutions to emotions without feeling them through the body. First you have to feel things, and then you can become a witness of it. Otherwise, you will lose your connection to the physical. You will operate from the head only, and the body will

Content: Moon in Gemini 61

Content: disconnect itself from the mind. Slowly, we have lost our contact with our own presence.

Title: Stop debating!

Content: Stop debating! Spending time arguing for your point of view and then working on healing the situation afterwards is a waste of time. Your very views, your very mind, are just a creation made out of all the samskaras collected through your own life experiences. The person standing in front of you is also a creation of her own experience, which is different from yours. Fortunately, why there is so much diversity in the world is a question without answer! It is not there to be discussed, but there to be enjoyed! Any knowledge that brings you back to the understanding that life has no logic at all is the right knowledge. If people don't understand it, then better not debate with them for some time.
