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...

Moon in Swati Nakshatra

Do you have Moon in Swati Nakshatra? Swati Nakshatra is ruled by Vayu, or deified wind. Therefore, this Nakshatra's Shakti (power of expression) is to scatter like the wind. It expresses the desire for freedom and to move like the wind in all directions. It is a wanderer, a traveler, a seeker, and a messenger. If you have Moon in this Nakshatra, you do not like to be constrained in any one place or situation. You will try to run away if you feel like a situation or person is trying to tie you down. And you may not do this consciously. It is just that you are on a quest for freedom and fresh air. Vayu represents the divine breath of the gods.

Malavya Yoga - Gianni Versace's Vedic Birth Chart

Gianni Versace December 2, 1946 Approx. 5:30 A.M. (tentatively rectified by Monica) Reggio Calabria, Italy Gianni Versace was an extremely talented and sought-after Italian fashion designer. He had many celebrity friends, including Madonna, Elton John, Princes of Wales, and Sting among many others. He was openly gay with his partner Antonio D’Amico. Unfortunately, he was shot to death in front of his Miami Beach mansion by Andrew Cunanan at the age of 50 (Wikipedia, 2013). These are only a few of the details that encompassed his life, and they don’t begin to describe his true talent and passion for beauty, art, fashion, and everything that is of a Venusian nature. Astrodatabank (www.astro.com) gives the time of his birth as 6:00 A.M. giving it a Rodden Rating of AA, which means extreme accuracy since it is based on the person’s birth certificate. However, the reason I’m writing this article is because I do not actually agree with t...
