  • 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.

  • MULTIPLE ROLES of DOGS in INDIA – Culture, Art and the Colonial
    Dorota Kamińska-Jones Nicolaus Copernicus University, Toruń https://doi.org/10.15804/aoto202003 MULTIPLE ROLES OF DOGS IN INDIA – culture, art and the colonial context ogs have an ambivalent status in Indian culture. On the one hand, they were one of the first animals to be domesticated, since when Dthey have been a regular companion of man. They are also a divine steed, a companion of the ascetics, and even the goddess Durga has been described as having a dog’s head. On the other hand, they are often viewed as an unclean creature that should not be kept in homes. Observing the streets of Indian cities, one may notice countless homeless dogs, which people do not usually treat in a particularly friendly way. So what is the truth about the dog’s role in India? This issue is quite complex and should be traced from a historical as well as topical perspective. DOGS IN ANTIQUITY The oldest traces of dogs’ involvement in people’s lives stem from prehistoric times. In the paintings discovered in Bhimbetka (Burzahom archaeolog ical site, Kashmir Valley) – from the Paleolithic and Mesolithic periods – there are many depictions of dogs such as: Sighthound, Scent-Hunters, Shepherd Dogs and Giant Dogs.1) A dog is also featured in the Neolithic paintings discovered in Burzahom, Kashmir. As B.M. Pande remarks: “the height and length of the dog, which evidently is a member of the hunting party, are both 1) Mathpal (1984). Multiple roles of dogs in India 67 6 cm, and has distinctly long, straight ears, long legs, and curved tail.”2) Even on the basis of these two preserved examples, it can be concluded that dog has accompanied man since the dawn of time and was particularly helpful when it came to hunting.

  • Tatvavaada Philosophy
    TATVAVAADA PHILOSOPHY MADHWA BRAHMINS This is the official blog of Madhwa Brahmins orkut community. Some of the important topics discussed in the orkut community can be found here. Check out our blog archives on the right side. We Madhwa Brahmins (brAhmaNas) are the brahmins who follow the Tatvavaada (dvaita) Philosophy, revived and propagated by the Vaishnava saint and philosopher Shri Madhwacharya (1238-1317 CE). Even though we are now scattered all around the world, we originally hail from places in Karnataka and the neighboring states of Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu and Kerala. Our main dialects are Kannada, Tulu, Marathi, Telugu and Konkani. Our principal preceptor Shri Madhwacharya (also known by the names Poornaprajna and Anandateertha) is the 22nd commentator on the Brahma suutra of Sri Veda Vyasa. He is the third avatar of Sri Mukhya PraaNa, the god of life, as given in the baLittha sUkta of the Rig Veda, his first two avatars being Sri Hanumanta and Sri Bheemasena. abhramaM bhangarahitaM ajaDaM vimalaM sadA | AnandateerthaM atulaM bhaje tApatrayApaham || hari sarvOttama vAyu jeevOttama Biography of Sriman Madhvacharya Hare Sreenivasa Srimad Ananda Teertha, also known as Poornaprajna and Madhvacharya, is the propagator of the doctrine of Tattvavada. He is the last of the great Acharyas of Vedanta, and is also the 22nd commentator on the Brahma-Sûtra of Veda Vyasa. His doctrine asserts that the differences are eternally real, and that hence there is more than one absolute real, and that Hari (Vishnu) is the only entity praised in the Shrutis and their adjuncts. Thus, he always identifies the Brahman of the Upanishads with Vishnu, and forcefully argues against the dichotomy of Shrutis (tattvaavedaka / atattvaavedaka) as claimed by Sri Sankaracharya, saying that such arbitration of apaurusheya scripture is unacceptable both logically and spiritually.

  • Time and the Kalachakra
    Time and the Kalachakra By Maha Yogi Paramahamsa Dr.Rupnathji ...the 16 Nityas along with the (36 consonant) letters which are the manifested 36 tattvas, and the Mantras which are formed by the letters, as also the Yantras are one with Time (Kala) - Tantrarajatantra XXV The fundamental basis of Indian astronomy is a simple expression: "Breath is Time". This is outlined in older upanishads as well as in the astronomical works known as siddhantas. In ancient India there was no split between astronomy, spiritual life, and people. The purpose of astronomy was to relate the macrocosm to the microcosm. The Hindus were not addicted to stargazing for the purpose of giving new labels to stars, nor were they interested in applying spiritual concepts to technological ends. The scheme may originally have originated from Sumerian culture, which used base 60 and produces ephemerides superior to those used by the Victorians. The Hindu measures of time are ideal or spiritual measures. Adepts of the Kalachakra were well aware of perturbations in planetary cycles, in the year and in the month. Consistent with this view is the concept DR.RUPNATHJI( DR.RUPAK NATH ) that people are, like the real solar system, subject to fluctuations, perturbations and inequalities. The periods are based on the numbers 27, 54, 108, 360 and 21600, numbers which we find recurring again and again in tantrik texts. That which is real is the respiration, say Sanskrit texts. A respiration consists of two halves, an inhalation and an exhalation. The meshing of time and astronomy and breath is the Kalachakra.

Although the Bhagavatam was written five thousand years ago, the writer knew past, present, and future (tri-kala-jnana), and thus he could predict all these events with perfect accuracy.” (Shrila Prabhupada, Journey of Self Discovery, 6.4) Hare Krishna Hare Krishna Krishna Krishna Hare Hare Hare Rama Hare Rama Rama Rama Hare Hare 28 June 2015 (#46) Shri Padmini Ekadashi of Adhika Ashadha, or the eleventh day of the waxing Moon of the Gaudiya month of Purushottama Vamana. 529 Gaurabda era. 1 In this issue: Deciphering the Codes of Kali The Astrological Newsletter (Please e-share it with your friends) Patita Pavana dasa Adhikary, Ed.

  • Pujya Appaji's Explanation of Shatashloki Ramayana Is Being
    Translations of Pujya Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji’s explanation of Shata Shloki Ramayana on ETV in Telugu From Feb 2013 – May 2013 Episode 1 Om Seeta raamaa bhyaam Namaha Within the very first section of the Baala Kaanda (the section that deals with the childhood of this Lord) of Srimad Ramayana, Maharishi Narada has preached the entire Ramayana in brief to Maharishi Valmiki in 100 shlokas (hymns). These 100 shlokas are popularly known as Baala Ramayana, Samskipta Ramayana and as Shata shloki Ramayana. From today let us learn about this Bala Ramayana. Merely listening to this condensed version of the Ramayana bestows the merit (fruit) of listening to the entire Srimad Ramayana. Let us begin with a prayer to Lord Ganapati Shuklaam bharadaram vishnum sasivarnam chaturbhujam Prasanna vadanam dhyaayet sarva vighnopasaantaye Meaning- With an intention that He should remove all the obstacles in my path, I contemplate on Maha Ganapati who wears white clothes, who is all-pervading, who is in the colour of the moon (white), who has four hands and whose face is peaceful (shanti) and pleasant. Shaarada shaaradaambhoja vadanaa vadanaambhuje Sarvadaa sarvadaasmaakam sannidhi sannidhim kriyaat Meaning- Mother Goddess Sharada‟s face glows like the fresh bright white lotus. May such a Divine Mother, who is dear to everyone, remain eternally in our face. As the Divine Mother is worshipped primarily during the Sharad rutu (autumn), She takes on the name Shaarada. During this season, the sky is crystal clear. Due to this crystal clear sky, the moon on the full-moon night (Purnima) appears incredibly bright and luminous.
