Do not put Wisdom in a Box

Divine wisdom comes in all shapes and forms. There is no one right way to divine wisdom and knowledge. There are many paths. What does your heart tell you?

Whatever your heart tells you then follow that path. Do not let others make that choice for you. You must make that choice yourself in an intelligent way.

There are many churches and religions that say theirs is the only path to God, or the only right way to salvation or what not. I think it is sad to put God in a box and say that there is only ONE way to reach Him. God is infinite, eternal, without attributes, and impossible to describe in words. So how could one religion or church claim that theirs is the only path?

Follow your heart. Wisdom can be found in ANY religion or church. Unfortunately, sometimes religions are judged based on the actions of individuals who follow those religions. Do no focus on the individuals. Focus on the sacred writings. Read the sacred scriptures. If you focus on the individuals who follow such and such tradition or religious movement then you will be forever deluded and confused. You will not be able to avoid judging and forming endless ideas in your mind that are no good to your spiritual path.

Read the sacred writings and go from there. Take what calls you at this moment in time. Something that calls you now may be different from something that may have called you five years ago or that will call to you five years from now.

This is the reason it is foolish to say only one religion is right. Different aspects of wisdom will reach different individuals at different stages of their lives at different times. Putting wisdom in a box will limit your learning and your spiritual path.

Take what calls to you now and meditate on that piece of wisdom. Then there will be no limit to your spiritual growth.

Yogi, Avayogi - Prosperity and Obstruction

What exactly are the planets which are called "Yogi, Avayogi, and Duplicate Yogi?" In Vedic Astrology these are actually very important planets you should know about. Without knowing this, you miss out on very important and accurate predictions in your readings. So let's get to the core of the matter right away. These are their definitions: Yogi: This is the planet which gives rise to prosperity in the best way it can. Avayogi: This is the planet which obstructs prosperity in the best way it can. Duplicate Yogi: This is the planet which supports prosperity, although to a lesser degree than the Yogi. Now that you know what these planets represent, how to analyze them in your chart? The easiest way to begin is to see what Dasa/Bhukti you are running. Are you running the Dasa or Bhukti of either the Yogi, Avayogi, or Duplicate Yogi? That is the most direct way. If you are not running the Dasa or Bhukti, check to see if the Dasa/Bh...

Mesha (Aries) Personality Traits

Mesha is a fire sign ruled by the planet Mars. It is the first sign of the zodiac, which is symbolically related to the first house of Vedic Astrology, a Dharma house (Read The Four Aims of Life: The Purusharthas). Thus, just like the other Dharma houses and signs, Mesha people feel they have a strong sense of purpose to fulfill in life. People with this sign strong in their charts will have a strong sense of self and individuality. They will want to be first in everything they do, so they tend to be very competitive. They have a lot of energy, strength, will-power, and strong desires. Mesha people love action and have a strong desire to help others less fortunate. They like to have a story in life and be the hero of that story, and one of the ways of doing this is through fighting for the underdog. Mesha loves getting involved in causes and helping the oppressed in one way or another. This involvement is their noble way of coming to the rescue and being chi...

How are Divisional Charts Used in Vedic Astrology? Jackie Kennedy's Chart

There is a lot of contradiction on how divisional charts are used in Jyotish. Some astrologers only look at the sign a planet is placed in. They then look at the lord of that sign and see if it is strong or weak in the Rasi chart. However, they claim that Yogas and Aspects are not to be used in divisional charts. This is one section that I strongly disagree with. And I abide by my teacher, James Kelleher, in the way he uses divisional charts. A divisional chart should be read exactly like a birth chart, but in relation to the particular chart you are looking at. So if you are looking a the Navamsha, it stands for spouse. If you are looking at the D-7 chart, it stands for children. If you are looking at the D-10 chart it stands for career. So the particular Yoga in the chart will focus in on only that area of your life. Let us take an example at why we analyze a divisional chart just as we analyze a Rasi chart, including Yogas and asp...
