Many dimensions.

Astrology can be seen or useful in many dimensional ways.
Let me try to make it clearer
One dimensional: this is your popular sun sign astrology, wherein all the population of this world is herded into twelve categories or zodiac signs. This is the most popular form and also the reason for criticisms directed towards Astrology by the so called informed elite.
Two dimensional: the form of astrology that casts a birth chart for the place time and date of birth for a person and tries to predict about the persons life. This is more personal and useful form of Astrology.
Three dimensional: This form is also like the two dimensional one but details of the person’s relatives and friend are also predicted. Predictions about parents, siblings, spouse?s , children( number and sex and there future) business partners etc.
Four dimensional: in addition to all that details of past generations (forefathers), past lives of the person himself is also dealt.
Multidimensional: prediction regarding the world, events which effect large body of people and nations, weather, earthquakes, market fluctuations etc.

During my study of Astrology i graduated form the first (Remember Linda Goodman's Sun sign) and now i am studying the third. In between i was studying a system of astrology developed by Manubhai Shah called the Shah's system of prediction which I will callas two dimensional.
Not many people are aware of this system. It is fairly simplistic and very easy to learn.
I will try to give more info on this system on future posts, I feel it needs to be more widely known and learnt as i believe it has almost disappeared after the demise of its progenitor.

Issue of Issues

There are many couples out there who have problems having children.
There are many ways to overcome this - medically, through blessings of someone, through remedial measures of Mantras and Tantra.
Now don’t throw up (your hands) in despair hearing this, maybe for some - superstitious thing. Things some people feel is foolish to believe, in this scientific age. Please bear with me.
There is a specific remedy which was advised to two childless couples. And both the Ladies are today proud mothers of healthy babies.
It is a combination of two techniques Tantra and the Gayatri mantra with samputa of varun beeja.
The technique of Tantra is given in Pundit Rajmani Tigunait's book - "Tantra Unveiled". You will be able to get it from any bookstore or order from here.
Since it is copyright material I won’t be giving it here. Buy the book it is surely more worth than the money you spend on it.
In that book there is a technique given for doing Sadhana of the Gayatri linked to Sri Vidya tradition and Soundarya Lahari sloka 24. It is a sadhana for forty odd days and all the rules have to be strictly followed.
The only change or addition to this is to put the samputa of Vam beeja three times as given in Pundit Sanjay Raths book "Vedic remedies in Astrology".
Either the Husband or the wife can perform this or both.

A fly in my brain soup

Please help me in solving my predicament; actually it may be quiet simple for some but for a dunce head like me it is a very difficult problem

you see one day while boarding in a local train (like the subway system) a house fly also got in, not that I noticed him (or was it her?). Flies tend to be very inconspicuous till they find something that interests them. As the train started moving the fly started buzzing around as is their wont. The train gathered speed and soon it was speeding about 80 Kph. the fly was buzzing around casually.
I wondered what speed the fly was traveling.
Was it 80 km Per Hour plus the speed it was flying when it was in the direction the train was traveling, why it did not crash into the bogie when it was traveling in the opposite direction?
Basically it was not touching any part of the train when it flew about.
And when it landed on some part of the bogie did it have to adjust its speed to compensate for the speed of the train?
Did it have to make extra effort to stay afloat? if so then it must be using tremendous amount of energy and it should have tired easily. But it was doing it very calmly and didn’t look fazed out or disoriented and was merrily buzzing.
It looked like for the fly the train was stationary.
I wracked my brains this way and that but just could not come up with a convincing explanation
Please help me as I am not able to sleep in the night, there seems to be a Fly in my brain mocking my ignorance.
Thanks in advance.

Little death

"It's not that I'm afraid to die.
I just don't want to be there when it happens."-Woody Allen

Many traditions (specially Tibetan) talk of little death - a sort of precursor to total enlightenment.
we also have accounts of Masters who underwent this experience
Nisargadatta referred to it in his talks
Maharishi Raman's account is very famous
And the least expected UG (Krishnamurhty) also talks of it
we have accounts of Shirdi Sai also in such a state.
many more can be added to this list.

Ofcourse trust the French to use the phrase to describe this.

The ocean of becoming.

The Bhav saagar as this world is called in scriptures, what does it mean?
Bhav is to become and sagar means ocean so literally it means the ocean of becoming.
Bhav may also mean to happen, as in blessings e.g. Ayushmaan bhav (may you be blessed 
with long life)
This world of mine is constantly becoming something all the time.
what creats this constant change?
It is Bhaavana (may be translated as emotions) and therefore she is called Bhavaani. 

She tosses us as she wishes through bhaavana and she is also the one to makes us cross this
ocean of constantly becoming (bhav saagar) hence she is called Bhavtaarini.
