  • Should I Trust M Y Astrologer?
    Should I Trust M y Astrologer? By Dinesh S. Parakh The proper answer is, —it depends“. Make no mistake, jyotisha* (loosely translated as ”Indian astrology‘; a more accurate translation would be ”Indian divination‘) is real and it can be one of the most amazing things you will ever encounter in your life (for example, just ask anyone who has ever had an experience with a true naadi-jyotishi (a particular type of jyotisha). But it is also true that finding a properly trained jyotishi (a practitioner of jyotisha) is usually not a simple matter of searching in your local telephone book. W hy do we seek out jyotishis? The answer is simple: life can be difficult, and often we feel lost, helpless, and even hopeless. A jyotishi represents an ability to tap into a higher source of wisdom to guide our lives. W hy then does astrology have a sometimes unsavoury reputation, and why then do some astrologers so frequently get it wrong? Because the subject of jyotisha is so vast and complex, and because it touches on our most intimate natures, it is easy for unscrupulous or deluded people to take advantage of others. Everybody wants to know about their money, career, family, relationships, children, health, etc. If someone claims to be able to shed light on these things, we sometimes trust them too easily œ or we dismiss them out of hand as complete charlatans. Neither approach is helpful. The truth is that there are people of astonishing predictive ability, but it is also true that they are few and far between.

  • AGNIESZKA STASZCZYK* the Magic Weapon
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Jagiellonian Univeristy Repository The Polish Journal of the Arts and Culture Nr 9 (1/2014) / ARTICLE AGNIESZKA STASZCZYK* (Jagiellonian University) The Magic Weapon – Its Appearance, Acquisition and Application as Described in Texts of Hindu Tradition ABSTRACT In the tradition of India, various weapons play a crucial role in the continuous battle between gods and demons, as well as between humans. The more powerful the weapon, the more certain the victory; thus, any sword used in a battle should be as strong and ef- fective as possible, or even should be magic. Any warrior, the man of the kṣatriya class, can be provided with a weapon of this kind and hence properly supported and victorious in a fight. Gods and humans may use many swords: maces, wheels, thunderbolts, bows and arrows, axes, spears, etc. They may also use words – mantras – against an adversary, as demonstrated in the numerous texts of the Hindu realm. Besides, in order to obtain a magic weapon or make a sword charmed, some practices or ceremonies using mantras as magic formulae may be performed. It is important for every warrior to be skilful in the use of his weapon in battle and in making a weapon magic. The gods themselves may support a hero by bestowing a weapon upon him or a hero may exert himself as well to win magic arms, for example by fighting a duel with a deity. In the world of myths and heroic deeds the methods are unlimited.
