Other’s Religious Beliefs

Lord, it pains my heart when there are mean comments regarding the religious beliefs of others. Some comments are so hurtful it breaks my heart. Dear God, you made many religious paths on this Earth that man may seek You and find You in his own way.

We are all different, Lord, and You have a deep understanding about this. You made us all very different. We all have different digestive systems, and you cannot feed the same food to all Your children. Food that you feed to some will not be easily digestible by others.

Lord, gives us light and truth that we may be able to accept others’ religious beliefs without judging them. Most of us do not even know the scriptures of those religious beliefs, and yet we judge based on a random internet article that condemns such and such religion, or based on the harsh condemnation of our own religion against those of others.

Lord, Your Truth comes in all forms. But some of your children think theirs is the only way, the only path to Truth. You are infinite and boundless. How can there only be one path to Your divine truth?

Please God, gives us understanding and compassion so that we do not judge the belief system of others so harshly. Gives us an open mind so that we can either read and understand the religious teachings of other religions before judging them, or so that we may not judge at all.

You are the true Judge of all. Take away the vanity and pride of those of us who want to judge in Your stead, Lord. You are Sublime, Divine, Eternal, Infinite, without attributes, and All-Knowing. We are like ants trying to judge the continents of the world.

Give us humility, Lord, and let us submit to You instead of focusing on what others believe or don’t believe. As long as others are on a path seeking for You, what matters to me what path they choose to take? All that matters, Lord, is that they are trying to be better children and grow in their own spiritual way.

Give us the truth of light and compassion to accept others as they are, and not take the job that solely belongs to you, Lord.

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...
