Lord Teach us Detachment

Lord, in many of your sacred scriptures and religious teachings of various religions you teach us about detachment.  You gives us clues about a higher life and a lofty spiritual world which could be our domain a future spiritual life if only we could learn how to be detached.
But what does detachment mean?  To what is it referring?  What exactly are we supposed to be detached from?
Lord, you teach us that we are supposed to be detached from everything.  Everything literally means everything.  Material, emotional, and temporal things are what you tell us, Lord, that we should be detached from.  You teach us in your spiritual teachings that we ought to detach our minds and hearts for things of this world.  Things that belong to temporal reality.
What is temporal reality?  Everything that is bound by time.  Things that have a beginning and an end.  Lord, you teach us that we should detach our minds from thinking too deeply about material and temporal things that are not eternal, as You are eternal in your Being, Lord.  You teach us these things in order that we may come to love you and to know you.
It is difficult to come to love and know You when our minds think and our hearts desire temporal and worldly things.  You want us to detach ourselves from things that bind us here below, in order that we may become empty and open to receive spiritual food that comes from You my Lord.
Lord, it is difficult for us to become detached so easily.  We need to be constantly praying to you day in and day out that you help us in this endeavor.  Lord, please teach us what it truly means to be detached in mind and heart, and fill us with your divine wisdom and love.
Teach us to desire spiritual things so that our minds and hearts become more acquainted with divine things, and little by little our minds and hearts will naturally withdraw from this temporal world and seek only You.

Rahu/Venus Conjunction in Paula Abdul's Vedic Astrology Chart

Julie Paula Abdul Date and Time of Birth: June 19, 1962 14:32 (2:32 PM; PTD -7:00) Place of Birth: Los Angeles, CA Paula Abdul is a famous American singer. She is a prime example of a person having a Rahu-Venus combination. According to Barbara Pijan Lama, Rahu- Venus gives “amplified beauty, pleasure, and wealth – an exotic (and perhaps notorious) love life”; as well as “exotic appetites of the physical body (addictions, excessive pleasures)”. For one thing we know she has beauty and wealth, no questions asked. As for a notorious love life, this comes along with being famous. In Paula’s case, she unfortunately is not the exception and has had two failed marriages which did not make it past the two-year mark. What are the reasons for this? If we take a look at her chart things seem to be somewhat clear-cut. Her 7thlord of relationships Jupiter is in the 6th house of obstacles. Its despositor (lord of that house) Saturn is with the nodes of the moon, Ketu and Rahu...

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?

Mithuna (Gemini) Personality Traits

Mithuna is an air sign ruled by the planet Mercury.  Being the third sign of the zodiac, Mithuna is connected symbolically to the third house of Vedic Astrology, which is a Kama house ( Read: The Four Aims of Life The Purusharthas ).  Kama houses are 3, 7, and 11th house.  These are the desire houses.  Thus, Mithuna has an intense desire nature. Mithuna is flirtatious, loving, relational, easy-going, and sensuous.  However, they can be fickle in relationships because they can get bored very quickly.  But they do not just get bored in relationships; they quickly get bored with pretty much everything. Mithuna need A LOT of mental stimulation to keep them interested, and this also goes without saying in relationships. Mithuna are always processing information.  They need to be working on several different projects at once to be mentally satisfied.  They need several irons in the fire in order to fight boredom.  However, sometimes they may hav...
