ASTROLOGY IN INDIA

Astrology is the study of planetary influences and their affect on the world and everything in it

Astrology is usually limited to human beings-their nature and their affairs

Indian Astrology is considered to be one of the oldest most accurate and consistent form of astrology all

over the world It is a natural cosmic science based on real astronomy The birth chart cast on the Indian

System makes adjustments for the fact that our Universe (Zodiac) is moving and not fixed (the Big Bang

theory) This system is over 7000 years old and proves that ancient Indians had a great grasp of

astronomy much before any other civilizationAlso the Indian system takes into account the fact that the

zodiac is epileptic and not circular due to which the twelve houses in a birth chart are not 30 degree

each but vary according to the time of birth Due to these differences the birth chart cast on the Indian

system would come out different from that done on any other system and is considered much more

accurate Indian astrological studies consist of 27 constellations in 12 lunar mansions The movements

of the two luminaries ndash Sun and Moon five major planets (Mars Jupiter Saturn Venus and Mercury)

and the two nodal points of the Moon ie Rahu and Ketu are considered and their positions marked

Indian Astrology does not recognize extra Saturnine planets like Pluto Neptune and Uranus

The Moon is taken as a very important planet for predictions though it is a satellite of the earth The

complete predictive mechanism is based on the Moon Sign and not the Sun Sign The Moon at the time

of birth is found in a particular position or in a particular star which is taken as the star of a person This

star is used to find the major and sub-periods of a personrsquos life The Moon changes its Zodiac sign in 2frac14 ndash

2frac12days compared to the Sun which is stationary on a sign for 30 days Therefore for every ldquo12rdquo changes

in a year for the Sun the Moon changes nearly ldquo146rdquo times resulting in greater accuracy in prediction

Also the Moon signifies the Mind Since the Moon is the heavenly body closest to the earth the

magnetic influences of all other planets reach the Earth through the Moon Also since the mind is ruled

by the Moon and all influences on the Human Being whether physical mental psychological or

supernatural is effected through the human mind the moon is very significant The human body which

is ruled by the Sun may or may not respond to the mental psychological supernatural influences

A Horoscope is thus based on detailed mathematical calculations detailing the longitude and latitude of

planets at the time of birth This portion is a science since a horoscope if cast correctly will be same

every time even if made by different people On the other hand the interpretation of the horoscope is a

Fine Art and involves experience as well as Intuitive Powers for prediction

This leads to two different astrologers giving differing predictionsThe Vedas (1500 BC) which are the

oldest religious literature available bear references to this science ldquoJyothisha or Astrologyrdquo is one of the

limbs of the ldquoVedasrdquo Hindus were the original masters who had the thorough knowledge of astronomy

and many rituals and religious rites were related to the position of planets and their motions

Long before Kepler Copernicus Brahe Galilio and other galaxy of astronomers were born the Hindu

sages had already gained much knowledge on the stellar or planetary universe

Indian Astrology has been divided into three main branches of study Siddanta Samhita and Hora

Siddantas are those who are devoted to the astronomical study of celestial bodies Samhitas deal with

mundane astrology earth quakes floods volcanic eruptions rainfall weather conditions economic

conditions and effects of sunspots Another very important branch is the Phalitha Jyothisha branch

which concentrates on the system of predictions This branch has six sub-divisions namely Jathaka

Gola Prasna Nimitta Muhurta and Ganitha

Apart from these schools of planetary interpretations we have the Nadi system which gives pen pictures

of life and destiny patterns of people born at 122448 second intervals These have been written on

palm leaves Very few experts can read and understand these but the results and predictions are found

to be amazingly accurate

In India Astrology is taken very seriously and serves various purposes

1 To predict future events

2 To match the birth-charts of couples at the time of marriage to ensure a successful married life

3 To provide Life reading containing issues of a personrsquos personal life

4 To determine the Muhurath (the best time to start any auspicious ceremony)

5 To determine which stars are affecting onersquos life

6 To provide a remedy for problems

7 To determine the right Gemstone to be used to become successful

TRADITIONAL INDIAN CLOTHING

Indian attire is as varied as itrsquos subcultures Just as each region has its own language food and lifestyles

so also it has its own traditional mode of dressing A half sari worn to college in the southern states

would be subject to ridicule in the northern or western regions Intermingling due to social changes and

improvement in communication has managed to give India a pan-Indian look People from all

subcultures are slowly giving way to a more uniform form of dressing Men these days usually wear a

trouser along with a shirt and women wear the sari or the salwar Traditional clothes are still worn in

traditional ceremonies or in the interior pockets of the country Also more and more women are taking

to western wear (the skirt and the pant with shirts) specially the youth and people in large citiesMany

Indian women wear earrings nose ornaments and brightly colored bangles Some paint a dot of color or

apply a readymade Bindi on their foreheads The bindi is also a fashion statement and may be matching

to the color of the dress or to the personality (large small etc)

Six yards of cloth that is all there is to the saree Yet this dress worn by millions of Indian women is by

far the most elegant It is not merely an outfit but an ornament lending both grace and glamour to the

wearer More important the saree epitomizes the continuity of an age-old tradition that has withstood

the onslaught of many different cultures to emerge today as a visible symbol of the resiliency

continuity and timelessness of the Indian way of life

Each region displays a different style of draping it This is shaped by the lifestyle and the religious

inclination The urban Indian style is by far the most common Stiff tangails flowing silks elegant

chiffons and heavy brocades ndash all of them can be easily maneuvered into this style Tied around the

waist the saree forms a skirt with the pleats positioned in front thus allowing for free movement The

pallav or the part draped over the left shoulder is either pleated and pinned up the convenience or is

left flowing loose for glamour This seemingly cumbersome garment is in reality an extremely versatile

meaningful and adaptable one It suits every possible occasion every possible activity Washing and

cleaning carrying firewood back from the forest in the anchal (pallav) or walking long distances can all

be easily executed in a sareeThe saree is worn with a short blouse or a choli covering the upper body

The blouse is also worn with a skirt called a lehenga or ghagra A long scarf called a duppatta (aka orna

orni etc) is commonly found to be part of various dresses including the salwar- Kameej and Ghagra ndash

Choli or the Half saree Headgear is a prominent part of the Indian attire

The ladies generally use the dupatta or the pallav (edge) of the saree to cover their heads The men use

turbans and caps of various types The Muslims use a different cap (topi) from those in the northeast

and the Sikh turban forms an essential part of his identity and is very different from the ones worn by

others on festive occasions

INDIAN MYTHOLOGY

Indian Mythology is not only old (1200 BC) but also vast The hymns of the Rig Veda are considered the

oldest mythological heritage At this time man had faith in everything around him and godliness was

attached to every wonder he saw or experienced Thus was formed the triad of the early Vedic Gods ndash

Agni Vayu and Surya The Vedic Gods were mere abstractions intangible and illusive but in the post-

Vedic phase or in the Puranas the gods assumed substantial shape and individual character

The two Itihasa or epics Ramayana and the Mahabharata were compiled in the late Vedic period The

heroes of the Vedic age gradually dislodged the shadowy gods and found their place in the Puranas The

Puranic Gods who had their seeds and roots in the Vedas gave rise to the concept of Trimurti Thus

emerged the transition of Hindu mythology from Vedic Gods (the Cosmic Trinity Agni Vayu and Surya)

to Puranic Gods (the Hindu Trinity Brahma ndash Vishnu ndash Mahesha) Om or Aum symbolizes the essence of

Hinduism It means oneness with the Supreme the merging of the physical being with the spiritual The

most sacred syllable the first sound of the Almighty ndash the sound from which emerges each and every

other sound whether of music or of language In the Upanishads this sacred syllable appears as a mystic

sound regarded by scriptures as the very basis of every other sacred mantra (hymn) It is the sound not

only of origination but also of dissolution The past present and future are all included in this one sound

and all that transcends this configuration of time is also implied in Om

The Indian pantheon consists of 33 Crore Gods Although these gods are not individually worshipped

expect for some they have a special place in the Hindu mythology and are often seen in temples or in

paintings or pictures beside the main three triads and their various manifestations Here are some of the

significant ones

HANUMAN ndash the monkey god ndash devotee of Rama

INDRA ndash King of the abode of gods

YAMA ndash the god of death

GAYATRI ndash personification of the Vedic hymn

GANGA ndash personification of the holy river

KUBERA ndash god of wealth

NARADA ndash the wandering seer who features in almost all the Puranas

celestial beings These are often mentioned in the various Vedas and Puranas and are much a part of the

Hindu mythology as the lesser gods Celestial beings

APSARAS These are beautiful ladies who dance in the court of Indra Indra also uses them to lure the

saints and sages who by their severe penance endanger his superiority as the ruler of Swarga (Paradise

of Indra) In the Vedas they were personification of vapor and in the Puranas the ballet girls in Swarga

RAMBHA URVASI and MENAKA are the most celebrated of them

GANDHARVAS Gandharvas are the celestial musicians who play in the court of Indra and also when

some divine act of the gods had been completed in the interest of humanity They are said to have a

great partiality for women and are said to be exceptionally handsome

KINNARAS are mythical beings with a body of a man and head of a horse They are singers at the court

of Indra They are also sometimes said to be the minstrels of Kuberarsquos palace at Mount Kailasa which is

also the abode of Shiva

SIDDHAS are classes of spirits of great purity and holiness who dwell apart in the sky or mid-air

between earth and heaven

YAKSHA They are the guardians of wealth and attendants of Kubera employed to guard his gardens and

treasure They live in ALKA-PURI (yaksha-puri) The female of Yaksha is known as YAKSHINI

Animals have a special place in Hindu mythology One comes across various animals in Hindu mythology

some which have been personified and given a form as the centuries passed These animals have been

symbolic as the vehicles and carrier of various gods or one which have helped the gods in various times

Some of them appear as independent divine creatures and are worshipped in various ways

In Hindu religion and mythology the nine planets occupy an important role The planet deities are

referred to as the NAVAGRAHA and are supposed to have a significant impact on the lives of individuals

Hindus worship these planets as deities so that they may bring peace and harmony and avert any

mishap

Of the Navagrahas the first seven Sun Moon Mars Mercury Jupiter Venus Saturn lend their names to

the days of the week Sunday to Saturday respectively The other two Rahu (Ascending node) and Ketu

(Descending node) are also fabled as planets the former as a planet with a head and no body and the

latter as a planet with a body and no head The Navgrahas are propitiated because of their sinister

effects (Saturn Rahu and Ketu) and for their favorable influences (Jupiter Venus Mercury Mars the

sun and the moon) In addition to the nine planets twenty seven nakshatras (constellations) through

which the moon passes and twelve signs of zodiac of the sun regarded as deities are consulted at

births marriages and on al occasions of family rejoicing distress or calamity Shanti (Peace) propitiation

ceremony is held to appease any unfavorable constellations

STORY OF A PROPHET

STORY OF A PROPHET

Muhammad was born in about 570 AD in the small town of Mecca on the coast of the Red Sea of Saudi

Arabia He was the son of an Arab merchant And when he grew up he had to take up the family

business At that time merchants in Mecca were well off In Mecca there was a lot of money to be made

out of the pilgrims who came from all over the east to visit the Kaabah Built of three layers of stone

the Kabbah isbelieved to have been built by Ibrahim and his son Ismail

Muhammad was already known to be very sincere honest and kind hearted These traits also left a

mark over his business life he Muhammad was disturbed by the way people around him led their life ndash

specially the spiritual life

His tribesmen though Semitic like the Hebrews had been riddled by superstitious beliefs and

multiplicity of faiths They had an assortment of gods whose images they carved and worshipped with

strange kinds of practices There was no uniformity in the faith Nor was any discipline in the spiritual

life And Muhammad wanted to change all these

It is believed that Muhammad was one day visited by the archangel Gabriel who brought message from

God or in his language Allah Inspired by Allah Muhammad decided to give up the business and took to

a life of spiritual empowerment It then devoted himself to prayermeditation preaching and helping

the poor He was then around forty

Muhammad condemned the Arabs for worshipping a host of gods and told his audiences that Allah was

the one and only true God

At first Muhammadrsquos teachings irritated the Arabs Yet undaunted Muhammad continued with his

preaching The situation turned so worse that his life was at stake Following this Muhammad had to

leave his native town of Mecca He journeyed further north to Medina This emigration from Mecca to

Medina in 622 AD is an important milestone in the history of Islam The year of the emigration is called

Hegira And it is the starting point from which the Muslim Era called Hegira is computed

Medina however welcomed his ideas And Muhammad found a favorable climate for preaching and

spreading his teachings And he acquired a following of disciples He preached rules of good and kind

behavior

Ten years passed and Muhammad had attracted a sizeable number of diehard followers This even

included a small but devoted corps ready to fight to the death to champion his ideas And Muhammadrsquos

faith became known as the Islamic faith and his followers were called Muslims Islam spread when

Muhammadrsquos teachings were set down in a book called the Quran This is the most sacred book to the

Muslims

Quran holds all the revelations that Muhammad received from Allah over a period of 23 years

According to Islamic history after Prophet Muhammadrsquos death they were compiled under the direction

of the first Sunni Caliph Abu Bakr about 1400 years ago And this is what we see in the present

dayrsquos Quran

Muhammad instructed his followers to destroy all his personal belongings when he died For he

believed that none but Allah should be venerated This is why Islam forbids any form of idolism and

deity worship

In course of time Islam acquired believers all over the world From North Africa to the farthest point of

South East Asia Today Islam is one of the worldrsquos major religions with followers estimated to be over

600 million Or about one fifth of worldrsquos total population

TALK ON NATIONAL INTEGRATION ndash 02

National integration

India has many races nationalities castes subscastes and communities but so far the heart of India is

concerned it is one It is true that societies that have been integrated into bonds of unity have always

enjoyed peace stability prosperity and permanence And those torn by mutual disruptive tendencies

among various sections of the society have always been short lived and become non- existent The

national integration is the process of uniting different people from all walks of life into a single whole

The most serious problem being faced by India in present circumstances is how to develop an

atmosphere of national consciousness among so varied a people

Indians already have suffered for long periods the pangs of enslavement and servitude It is India in the

whole world which has to suffer under foreign rulers for more than seven hundred years The separatist

tendencies among people and kings have always resulted in the fall of our kingdoms Our country was

always divided into large number of small kingdoms which were mostly at daggers end There has been

a lack of national consciousness The internal disputes among the Rajput kings allowed Muslim invaders

to establish their foothold here Then the Britishers were able to create rifts between various kings and

princes and thus established their supremacy It was only overthrown when Indian nationhood joined

together by unparallel acumen of some great Indian leaders who became creators of history

There is a need to make efforts for creating emotional integration or a sense of unity The need of the

hour is national integration It should be taught at the very beginning in all schools and colleges all over

the country that India is one and only one The differences between various cultures are just superficial

and basically it is only one What is needed is superior interpretations synthesis of the power of the

mind that can give rise to a vision of the whole and oneness The school and college teaching material

should be suitably revised wherein importance and need of oneness should be emphasised From one

end of the country to the other end regular long distance tours must be conducted so as to foster

emotional integration among the young students of our country Steps must be taken to see that there

are no sectional appeals so that disunity among the people does not increase manifold

To bring about national integration there are many techniques It can be forced out or can be made to

strengthen from within the core of hearts The result by way of exercise of power would always be

weak unsuccessful and it would be for a temporary phase only But when the sense of national

integration stems from within it would be strong stable and ever-lasting

British government brought about national integration by way of their needs For the first time during

the British rule the whole of India came to be governed from one centre and all regions of the country

from West to East and South to North obeyed instructions and advice from the central power This was

because the God of freedom was the same and realized all over the country The national unity became

more emotional when the country fought a united struggle for freedom Emotional integration is the

basic foundation on which the main structure of national integration can be created

There is a rich cultural heritage in India All of us are inheritors to several grand treasurers in the fields of

music dance drama fine arts and paintings sculpture and theatre Our seers and sages have left

behind a tradition of piety penance conquest of passion and spiritual greatness Our cultural unity is

further exemplified by the great temples of the South the caves of Khajuraho and Ajanta and Ellora

which are glittering examples of proficiency of India in the field of architecture and sculpture India

classical music is built on the concept of ragas and talas Each raga is regarded appropriage to a certain

emotion a certain mood suitable for a specified time of the day or night In the modern times people

like Pandit Ravi Shanker have taken the Indian music to great heights in the whole world and thus have

bridged the gap between the East and the West in the field of music

Today the intellectuals of Indian society can give the right direction as the country is standing at the

crossroads of failures and achievements The intellectuals must come out of their narrow cells of

detachment and awake up to their responsibilities towards the general masses Through national

integration we will prosper and flourish and dominate the others who are characterized by divisive

forces We will carry with us a power and strength solidity and solidarity and an element of

cohesiveness which will impart to us further permanence and stay in present struggling world
