Content: 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.

Content: 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.

Content: 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, Aryabhaṭā, 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.

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.

Page 10

Content: Jyotiṣa Simply Put

Content: Astrology manifested in the inner vision of the ancient sages and Ṛṣis of India. These yogis 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.

Content: 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

Content: Moon in Aquarius

Page 11

Content: the father of Jyotiṣa. He wrote the magnum opus Bṛhat 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!

Content: By observing the movements of the celestial bodies through time and space, the science of Vedic Astrology can be applied to each human incarnation to encourage the soul to develop to its fullest potential.

Content: In Paramahamsa Nithyananda's own words:

Content: 'The moment the consciousness enters the body, the energy level of the cosmos at the time of birth gets printed in that consciousness. Your inner space gets a print of the cosmic energy level and the position of the nine major energy centers of the solar system.

Content: The astrological planets are not only astronomical, they are energies. A particular energy of push and pull exists between them. The different energy positions clearly decide the cosmic energy level during the time of birth. Based on that, Jyotiṣa will be able to predict the course of life. Understand, not exact incidences because you have freedom. You have freedom to decide whether to sit here or not, to read this or not.

Content: Moon in Aquarius

Page 13

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.’

Content: Jyotiṣa and Living Enlightenment

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

Content: There are only two types of destinies:

Content: 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 Aquarius

Page 14

Page 15

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 saṃskāras.

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: and you move beyond grahas’ influences. This is how you come to terms with your karmas.

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.

Content: 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 Jyotiṣā, grahas are often referred to 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.

Content: 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 (ascending lunar node) and Ketu (descending lunar

Content: 12

Content: Moon in Aquarius

Page 18

Content: 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 two next nakṣatras, also fall under the lordship of Aries sign.

Page 19

Content: All three will therefore have similar characteristics and will influence the child's mind and consciousness at the time of birth, shaping his destiny.

Content: On the insistence of Śiva, Pārvatī fasted for a year to propitiate Viṣṇu so that he would grant her a son.

Content: Lord Viṣṇu, after the completion of the sacrifice, announced that he would incarnate himself as her son in every eon.

Content: Accordingly, Viṣṇu was born to Pārvati as a charming infant.

Content: This event was celebrated with great enthusiasm and all the gods were invited to take a look at the baby.

Content: However Śani (Saturn), the son of Sūrya, hesitated to look at the baby since he was cursed with the gaze of destruction.

Content: Pārvati insisted that he look at the baby, which Śani did.

Content: Immediately the infant’s head fell off and flew to Goloka. Seeing Śiva and Pārvati grief-stricken, Viṣṇu mounted on Garuda, his divine eagle, and rushed to the banks of the Pushpa-Bhadra River, from where he brought back the head of a young elephant.

Content: The head of the elephant was joined with the headless body of Pārvati’s son, thus reviving him. The infant was named Gaṇeśa and all the gods blessed Gaṇeśa and wished Him power and prosperity.

Content: Aquarius-born are naturally self-sacrificing. They have the capacity to surrender themselves completely to the Divine. They are eager to work for the good of a community or for the world. They can be totally devoted to a cause or in whatever they put their faith, be it a social group, spiritual group, or also a more illicit organization. For that, they have to develop discrimination and go towards what brings inner bliss, what liberates them in all senses. They can also denigrate themselves and do things which degrade their consciousness and create guilt and self-blame.

Content: They may be artists, original thinkers, different from others, sometimes involved in different undefined activities. Their charisma radiates upon small groups. They are not upfront people, nor born leaders, but they can be excellent therapists, gifted of a rare intuition.

Content: Energy Centers and Aquarius

Content: Viśuddhi cakra: expressing one’s uniqueness

Content: There are seven major energy centers in our body, called cakras in Sanskrit. They are directly connected to our emotions and impact different aspects of our personality and the way we relate to ourselves, others, and to Existence.

Content: Each planet resonates with a particular energy center in the body. Aquarius is connected to viśuddhi cakra located in the throat region. Viśuddhi flowers when you stop comparing yourself to others and express your own uniqueness.

Content: We are always looking to achieve in the outer world. This is the root cause of the comparison and 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, bank balances–all are scales that society uses to grade you.

Content: 26

Content: Moon in Aquarius

Page 35

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 also. The outer world achievements are all incidental. They will get you instant name and fame and money. The real achievement is in the inner world.

Content: Center yourself well with awareness and simply take part in 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 outer world achievements and feel stability and joy in the center of your own Being. Finding your center is the only way out of this whole cycle of comparison with others that does not allow you to express your uniqueness as easily as you could.

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.

Content: Food items to balance vata:

Content: Mantra for Aquarius

Content: Aum hrīṁ Nityānandāya namaḥ (Om Hreem Nithyanandaya Namaha)

Content: 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.

Content: 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.

Content: 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’.

Content: Moon in Aquarius 57

Page 71

Content: Namaḥa 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.

Content: Five Techniques for an Aquarius Mind

Content: Let go of ego!

Content: You sometime feel you're going through some identity crises... You feel you are not being acknowledged by others as you'd like to be. These blockages seem out of reach. Observe. You hold yourself to ahankār, the identity you project to the outer world. People's not acknowledging you as you want seems like a death, a negation of your existence. Drop that! Be free. Never live on expecting others to give you substance. After all, you exist! Is anything else necessary?

Content: Be responsible!

Content: Maturity is to accept the responsibility to be oneself, whatever may come. It is risking everything to be fully oneself. There is no age to unfold it in you. Going beyond thoughts and feelings to become pure being is what maturity is. This maturity gives you intelligence, a very sharp intelligence that becomes an

Content: Moon in Aquarius 59

Page 74

Content: asset for the community in which you live. To use one’s experience and wisdom in a humanitarian way; to harness it to become a living example of one’s master’s message, is the greatest service one can perform for his guru.

Content: Be centered

Content: How can you change the world? To make the whole world blissful and happy, you don’t have to do anything. Just change your center. When the inner awakening happens, the higher emotions happen. It all finally boils down to your own experience of what is happening. If you want to save the world, all you need to do is save yourself!

Content: Everything is actually happening in this world: spiritual sessions where enlightenment is being shared and at the same time terrorist training camps where violence is being shared. According to what you tune into, the world that you attract and see will also appear to be. You will attract the same type of people and situations in your life.

Content: 60 Moon in Aquarius

Page 75

Content: Understand!

Content: Existence has many ways to teach us through experience. It would make you more insecure, more uncertain, because that’s how life is, that’s how existence is. When there is more insecurity, more danger, the only way to respond to it is with awareness. Just stand in your sincerity and authenticity. Money is not the aim of the cosmic constitution; your soul’s journey is the aim! The learning that stands behind the experience is the goal. Ultimately, whatever you have now will leave you when death comes. Trust life to take care of you! Envision the problem under a bigger scope, a cosmic scope, which will give you great freedom and insight into the inner mysteries of life!

Content: Kick this laziness out!

Content: It is time to fight your indulgence. One should better face the problem instead of running away to hide in one’s room, to do useless things which will not help you to grow. Now, only intensity will help

Content: Moon in Aquarius

Content: 61

Page 76

Content: to fight your inertia. After all, problems are not eternal. When we are depressed, we feel we will be depressed forever. No! It is not possible. You are constantly changing, people are constantly changing, and problems are also constantly changing. Nothing is fixed in Existence. What is required is a little patience to wait for things to move, and a little courage to face situations without making big problems out of them. And lo, in no time, the whole thing is forgotten!

Content: The Srimad Karana Agama, Purva bhaga, Patala 71, Sakalotpatti vidhi, Sloka 8 & 9 (Sacred Ancient Hindu scripture) declares:

Content: इत्येवं निष्कलं प्रोक्तं परं भावमिति स्मृतम्‌। सृष्टिस्थं लोकरक्षार्थं लोकस्योत्पत्तिकारणम्‌॥ साधकानां हितार्थं तु स्वेच्छया गृृक्खते तनु॥

Content: In this way (Shiva) who is Nishkala - without any body and parts, who is the Ultimate Supreme Being, who is established in the Creation, who is the Cause of the creation of the Universe, assumes a body out of His Free Will for the protection of the Universe, and for the welfare of the Spiritual seekers and Devotees.

Content: The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam is the reigning spiritual emperor of 17 ancient traditional Hindu kingdoms and the reviver of the most ancient, most peaceful, still-living and long-lasting demonstrable system that shows the possibility of peaceful co-existence amongst people. Following the coronation to establish KAILASA worldwide at the age of 16, for the past 27 years, The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam, as the face of the unified Hindus, has been single-handedly, tirelessly inspiring the dispossessed Hindu Diaspora to reclaim their Hindu centric freedom and stand unified for the centuries-old Hindu genocide.

Content: About The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam

Content: The 1008th living incarnation of Paramaśiva, The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam stands as the unifying force for the 2 billion born and practicing Hindu diaspora worldwide and established the Hindu State, KAILASA for the persecuted Hindus in over 100 countries.

Content: The SPH Nithyanada Paramashivam has made resolute efforts towards recognizing and legitimizing the Hindu genocide which has been receiving scant consideration by global leaders and international bodies, The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam founded KAILASA Uniting Nations. For the past 27 years, this international body has been responsible in building relations, bridging dialogs, inspiring leaders, uniting nations towards acknowledging the Hindu policies which are universal, life positive as referenced from the ancient text of Hinduism. This is the ‘ahimsa’ (non-violent) way of bringing acknowledgment to the horrors of the Hindu genocide, the untold facts of the darkest act of mankind on Earth to the most contributing civilization - KAILASA.

Content: KAILASA is an apolitical nation whose vision is enlightened living for all. Towards this goal, KAILASA is the only Hindu nation on planet Earth today bringing legitimacy to the principles of Hinduism. Social principles, economic principles, judicial principles, Hindu medical principles, and Hindu economic principles. KAILASA is The SPH Nithyananda Paramashivam’s response to humanity’s global problems of poverty, hunger, illiteracy, disease, violence and global warming and the continuing ethnocide and genocide of over 80 million Hindus worldwide since 7 centuries.

Content: Over the last 50 years, the effects of meditation and its significant impact on stress, crime rates, violence, political decision making and even war in local and global consciousness is well established. Unfortunately, in the last two hundred years, forcibly we are made to believe Hinduism is a functional principle only for enlightenment and spirituality. It is absolutely dysfunctional for the political, social, economical system. Making Hindu family structure, Hindu social structure dysfunctional is the greatest crime done against humanity.

Over several centuries the combined forces of foreign invasion, political upheaval, colonialism and religious persecution systematically ended millennia of Hindu Swarajya, or self-rule. Today Hindu temples remain in a few countries but the Hindus who worshiped in them have been ethnically cleansed.

Content: The revival of Hinduism through the civilizational nation of KAILASA globally irked vested interests of atheistic terrorist militant elements, caste supremacist terrorists and other anti-Hindu forces who executed a massive persecution and genocide on SPH and His followers on 2 March 2010 that continued for the next whole decade and comprised of over 70 assassination attempts, over 250 sexual assaults on SPH and his monks and disciples, lawfare of 120 false cases over 10 years, massive hate propaganda in electronic media of over 14,000 hours and print media of over 25,000 articles in 5 years, destruction of heritage properties worth over 27 million USD, and the continuing ethnocide and genocide of over 80 million Hindus worldwide since 7 centuries.
