Line of Intelligence: Part I

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !

Line of Intelligence is popular as "Head line", as the name suggests it concerns head activity, I prefer "line of intelligence" as it has do with the brain/intelligence of the native, and the head line is the second most important line after the fate line, this line starts between the index finger and the thumb, mostly it emerges with the life line, and it travels from right to left in the right hand and from left to right in the left hand dividing the palm into two half's, three very basic types of lines are one straight (less common), second is straight up to middle of the palm and then curves upwards towards the percussion side of the palm, and the third type is straight till middle of the palm and then curves downward towards the lunar mount (most common but the length of the line varies).

Extreme cases of this line are, first, a very short line emerging below the index finger, independent from the life line and stops below the Saturn finger, this native had very difficult childhood without any parental support, then he suffered from frequent head aches and has a tendency to take things in a rash manner, I would say it is very primitive brain, lacking sensitivity, which could not develop and had gone through multiple trauma during early childhood, and ultimately the adulthood also suffers, interestingly the fate line also suffers due this shortcoming.


Second is a very fine, lengthy head line ending in the percussion side of the palm, mostly curved downwards and reaching up to the base of the palm in the lunar mount, this is high side of intelligence, everything is refined to the highest level, highly creative, highly imaginative but sometimes with a tendency to suffer from illusions, but again is gifted to reach the unknown or untouched spheres of life, highly sensitive, highly evolved brain sometimes not suitable for routine life, or normal life, such natives are lost in their own worlds and have the ability to create/invent and indulge in thoughts, which a normal or logical brain cannot, I would say a very gifted intelligentsia but the native needs to guard his feelings and encapsulate himself in a artificial thick skin to safe guard his/her interests
.




Fig P3A 1 to 6 shows various types of lines of intelligence, no 1 shows a thin line with pale color, mostly found in weak or soft feminine hands, no 2 shows pink and thin line, found mostly in normal people, no 3 shows dark colored but normal depth, found in careful but active individuals, no 4 shows pale colored but thick line, found in weak but stressed individuals, no 5 shows a normal person but stressed, no 6 shows dark colored and thick line, mostly seen in very rough hands with thick palm skin, very active, aggressive individuals, also sometime over strained, stress is because of biting more than they can chew, or taking too much load, so the native is stressed and strained, mostly these individuals are very emotional, the best line one can have in active individuals is line of intelligence close to appearance as shown in Fig P3A5 and Fig P3A2 in case of inactive males and most of the females resp.

A good line of intelligence is as shown in Fig P3B1, with straight direction, proper colour, depth and length =, which would mean that the native is blessed with a very well balanced intelligence in terms of the emotional and logical senses, so definitely he/she will have good education, good grasping power, memory, analytical ability, good creativity and logical sense, and above all very well placed common sense, provided the line is not punctuated with marks, crosses and breaks.


A line of intelligence (Fig P3B2) starting with the life line and then travels straight up to the point below the ring finger and then takes the upward direction towards the percussion side of the palm, it suggests that the native is endowed with a very balanced mind but he/she depends more on his/her logical prowess than their emotional senses, in a similar situation if the line travels towards the Lunar mount, Fig P3B3, it would suggest that the native though endowed with a very superior intelligence depends more on his/her emotional senses than the logical prowess, and the penetration of the line of intelligence in to the lunar mount would enhance the dependence on the emotional senses, this native is bound to be very creative, and will have a exemplary imagination, but some times it might cause him/her worry, for being too imaginative and the native is influenced by the moon as the mind is controlled by the moon, so the natives mind will behave like a lunar cycle or ocean tides.


Line of intelligence as shown in Fig P3B4 & P3B5 belong to individuals who are very versatile and very controlled, they can be very logical and at the same time very emotional or might incline towards romanticism, yet might live a very practical life, and these individuals are jack of all trades, masters of many languages, subjects, they fare equally well in mathematics and at the same time excel in philosophy, in a way they are versatile by all means (Author of this blog has head line similar to Fig P3B5). the last one no 6 is a very normal and healthy head line.




Fig P3C1 -3 depicts different lengths of line of intelligence, in such cases one should also look for the length of fate line, heart line and life line to determine the longevity and health of the native, a normal hand by all means with a very short head line would only suggest that the development of the brain stopped or started very late or started very early but stopped, and the such lines of intelligence will definitely mar the educative and learning capacities of the native, no 4 is a simian line, where the heart line and head line merge into a single line traversing from left to right in a left hand, and right to left in right hand, individuals with such a line lead a very normal life and do not suffer from dilemma' while taking emotional or logical decisions.

No 5 is a line of intelligence running very close to the life line and then stopped, suggesting that the native needed long parental care and the development of brain is totally dependent on the parental behaviour or environment created by the parents. No 6 shows various points of emergence of head line, the middle one is the normal one.






Fig P3D shows the emotionally inclined line of intelligence and the initiation of curve below the little, ring or Saturn finger, which means that the individual will exercise his creativity and imaginative talents in suggested fields of his/her life, little finger is for relations, business, communications, ring finger is for fame, authority, government deals, and Saturn finger is for materialistic life. No 4 shows a versatile line of intelligence with cause for such a development, and no 5 again shows versatile line of intelligence but creativity and imagination limited to the artistic fields, and No 6 shows change in learning directions from science to arts, arts to science, maths to philosophy, etc.




Fig P3E1 to 6 show various types of lines of intelligence merging and separating from the life line, no 1 is a normal and most common pattern, which clearly suggests that the native got his parental care and then as he/she grew the development of brain become independent, no 2 shows little longer parental care or attached development, no 3 is in those kids who live with their parents but do not see them often, like they spend most of their initial years in the care of others, no 4 shows separate line of intelligence and life line, this is found in kids separated from parents after their births or is seen in the hands of orphans and abandoned kids, but only if all these kids never got any kind of human care, so the development of the brain is independent right from the birth, no 5 is similar but little closer, and no 6 shows a island or a circle, this is found in those hands where some kind of enigma or mystery is attached with the birth of the native, parental care is not a problem.

Fig P3F1 is a normal hand showing, line of intelligence crossed by fate line and life line, no 2 shows a gap, which means a gap in education or learning process due to a unforeseen event in the family, no 3 shows a circle or island, meaning a block but the native could steer clear by avoiding the problem, no 4 shows a cross in the initial point of the line of intelligence, meaning, there was a difference of opinion in taking the decision to bring the native to this world and if taken at a higher level, it means multiple life purpose, no 5 shows a cross, meaning versatility at the end of the development, no 6 shows change in learning interests and break in learning process at the same time but the interest got protected.



Fig P3G1 shows various possible marks or signs, a dot would mean complete block in the energy flow so it would definitely result in some kind of mental trauma to the native, if present in the fate line and life line at the same time pint, it should be considered seriously. a cross above the head line below the Saturn finger or the Ring finger is a mystic cross present in mystics with enhanced intuitive minds, no 2 and 3 are head line crossed by influence lines, no 4 a cross above the line of intelligence below the index finger or the Jupiter mount suggests possible love marriage, no 5 shows a whorl below the line of intelligence in the lower mars mount, which indicates that the native has a very controlled emotional temper and is able to keep his cool even in a very grave situation and also is able to keep a cap on the anger, and fathers blessing are also available, no 6 is a simian line. no 4 also shows few perpendicular` lines touching the line of intelligence from below in upper mars and lower mars area, these are influence of mother and father in day to day life of the native or in the development of the native.

Individuals with thick and dark lines should take precautions and practise meditation, yoga orPranayama to reduce the stress and strain, and try to relax in difficult situations, this will reduce the load on the brain and the energy pull will go much smoother, in case of thin and pale lines, the individuals should take up some physical activity or some mentally challenging tasks, it would help them develop further.

Conclusions about one's life direction should be made by studying the fate line and head line as far as materialistic life is concerned, but over all life pattern can only be deduced after studying all the main and minor lines of the palm.

Fate Line: Part I

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !

Fate Line in a way indicates the destiny or life path of the native, it is also known as line of destiny or Saturn line, a new born baby with a folded hand also has a fate line(check immediately after the birth, if allowed by the mother), As I have discussed earlier, the fate line is the most important line of all the lines in any hand, it is like the main artery connecting the whole body, Fig P2a to Fig P2g show various types of fate lines and signs or marks.

I have tried to show their colours, length and depth or thickness, the signs and marks shown in these drawings are not exhaustive. following are few types of Fate lines normally seen.

The first case that comes to my mind is two extremes, one with a perfect fate line as shown in Fig P2a1 and second a palm devoid of fate line, in both cases there is a positive and negative implication, in case of no fate line which is very rare, the native is actually free to create his/her own niche in this material world till that moment, he is totally free with out any strings attached or any preconceived fate waiting for him, this situation is actually dangerous as the life would be totally dependent on the natives free will.


If he lives in a secluded place it is some what manageable, but if he lives in a modern society, he is prone to suffer due to influence from various mongers, it will be almost impossible for him to initiate a direction to live his/her life. His/Her environment will take control of his/her life till he tunes his/her mind.


But why one is devoid of fate line?, I am sure this question pops up in any normal person, yes if the person is living his life and has a direction, there always will be a fate line, but if the native is living like a mere furniture, there might not be any fate line, but the fate line will take the form of some influence line depending on the influence it could be from family or non familial, in way it means the native is moved around like a piece of furniture.

In case of perfect fate line, the native has a single minded direction and purpose in life, it is set by the environment he/she was born in to, the karmic influence from his/her previous lives, financially, emotionally, and materially the native will be very sound.


The negative trait of this type of fate is, after some time life could become boring and mundane, this type of people are supposed to plan for good hobbies or activities suitable for their future apart from their main vocation, particularly for their old age.


Fig P2a 1 to 6, show various origins and terminations of the fate line, Fate line 1 is from base of the palm and ending in the mount area of Saturn, this is the most perfect fate line one can have, provided it is free from any influence lines and marks cris-crossing it. fate line 2, 3, 4 &5 show the origin and ending of the fate line, other combinations can be derived based on the explanations for each type, 2 is from base, meaning independent outlook and development as a individual, right from the early years of life and life path formed based on that foundation, 3 is from the life line, meaning the life path based on the parental influence and already established familial background, most cases son joins father's business or follows fathers footsteps in ideology and practise. 4 is from Luna or moon mount, such a fate is devised by the divine influence, such people have a direct contact with the divine, some people call it as hot line to God, the fate is drawn based on the desire of the soul, it might change course due to influence in later years but initiation is for that purpose and it is more certain if it reaches the base of the index finger ( Jupiter mount) fig P2a2, such a person is more spiritually inclined, in fate line 1, it is right in the Saturn mount, meaning, success in all materialistic endeavours, in 3 it is towards Apollo or ring finger, meaning the materialistic approach will later shape in to cravings for fame, authority and popularity, fate line 6 shows multiple changes in a single life path, this is possible if the person had gone through a rough Saturn period (Sade sati= Saturn's 7, 1/2 years period), a very materialistic individual might become very spiritual, in a way it suggest loss of faith many times in a short period, such individuals normally become ascetics, or renounce the world, but it changes if it is supported by other minor fate lines.




Fig P2b shows various types of fate lines based on their depth, color and clarity, In many hands the lines are almost not visible but they are not absent, it is the texture of the palm skin that causes this, a very soft hand will have all kinds of cris crossing lines, which could look like a railway yard, and a very hard palm will have only few lines four to five and remaining part of the palm could look like barren landscape, there is nothing to worry about in both the cases, it is only your sensitivity that needs some check here, very light, very pale, very thin lines mean lack of vitality or lack of proper life force, so eat well, change your dietary habits, with increase in your blood or Rbc count (Red blood corpuscles) the lines will become more rosy, in case of clear, pink, well formed river like lines mean a emotionally and physically balanced individual , in case of thick, dark, brownish to reddish, huge deep lines, it means excess life force causing imbalance and causes too much stress, it is like biting more than you can chew, so such individuals should mellow down and start taking things lightly than they usually do. 






Fig P2c shows various possible lengths of fate lines in normal hand, a very long fate line means the native had been living a very independent life or had taken a independent life direction right from the initial years till end of his/her journey, it shows clarity in thinking and mind set towards well set ideals and goals of the life, in case of a line starting after 20 -25 years, or ending around 30-40 years, it shows lack of direction in initial life and losing life path or sense of life direction in the later years respectively, it is like waking up late or sleeping early, both are not balanced. fate line 4 in this figure shows the native living like a furniture, it is a mere influence line, life being lived due to a relatives force, or sometimes it is the life started after the native got married in to the family, like marrying a cousin or uncle's daughter etc. fate line 5 in the figure shows the possible hospitalization and recovery due to a unforeseen event, other details should be seen from the possible influence line crossing it, etc, which should suggest initiation of such a happening by a close relative etc, in some cases it is like the native stops living a active life for a while and then regains faith and commences in right direction and the influence could be from any side, nature, family or non familial. Fate line 6 in this figure shows change of life path direction during middle years, this happens due to marriage, accident, love marriage, inheritance etc. but the renewed direction is towards materialism from spiritual foundation or from materialistic foundation to spiritual living.





Fig P2d shows fate lines with various signs or markings seen in many normal hands, the mark may not be as prominent as shown in these drawings, also the position of this markings can be anywhere depending on the time of happenings, which can be ascertained by using timescale (Fig P1).

A triangle is not a bad sign or mark, it suggests that during that point, the life force got excess and after formed a lake, then it starts again in a direction shown by the following fate line after the triangle, but during the point of time shown by triangle things may not workout like they were.
A break in a line could be from very serious to a short misadventure, a gap in a very well formed fate line is a serious one as it shows, the life of the person was in grave danger due to illness ( #) a financial mess(triangle or circle) derailed(empty gap) due influence of family characters or non familial contacts, broken marriage, failed love, failed business, govt conspiracy, conspiracy by close friends turned foes, this could be serious, a severe Sade sati( Saturn 7, 1/2 years, currently (Nov 2006) for all natives with moon in Cancer, Leo and Virgo the Sade sati is in progress( last 2,1/2 years for cancer, 5,1/2 years for Leo, initial 2,1/2 years for Virgo resp.) In some case the gap is formed to accommodate the future alliances like incorporating the future partnership, particularly in case of marriage and business.


Square is a good sign, it works like a reservoir of life force for the native in that point of life, it can prove to be very beneficial if used properly.


Other marks are crossing by a small line, a influence line from Venus mount, from Luna mount, all these suggest influence on the native life by that individual or that section of society resulting in change of direction or temporary halt or misadventure. if the line crossing merges with the fate line, it is a very good sign of perfect marriage, if is crosses and proceeds straight, it indicates loss or difference of opinions, this could be between two people for business or marriage.


A # line particularly if near the life line or joining life line, indicates surgery or chronic deceases like cancer etc, which might need surgery, in this case a triangle or a circle follows immediately after the "#", hash sign.
A dot indicates unforeseen event like accident, illness or hospitalization due to mishaps or happenings initiated by nature, family or non familial contacts, details should be seen with adjoining influence lines. It is very common that a dot is interpreted as a sign of death if found on fate line or other lines, yes one thing is sure that it does impede the life force but it does not stop it completely as it is believed, yes if a dot or other negative signs are seen on all major lines at the same time point, then it is a sure shot other wise it passes as a bump in the life but it does leave its imprints.





Fig P2e shows, various lengths of fate lines, independent attitude towards life is the basis of the origin and length of fate line and the life without a fate line suggests lack of that direction or attitude.



Fig P2f shows, change of direction from spiritual upbringing to materialistic living and vice verse, craving for fame, authority and popularity after living a very pious and spiritual life and vice verse, the lines may not be this prominent but will match very close to the pattern. the fine curves in the line suggests that the maneuvering of the change in direction was performed by the native with utmost care and maintaining balance in life, sharp edges suggest abrupt changes, due external influence more than natives will power.




Fig P2g shows, influence lines cris crossing or cutting the fate line , fate line 1 in this figure shows a influence line from close family contacts and it runs parallel to the main line and later fades, meaning a relative tried his or her best to join or influence the native in his or her endeavour but failed.
Fate line 2 is a similar happening but from a non familial contact, mostly a opposite sex.
Fate line 3 in this figure shows similar story with successful merger by two relatives benefiting the native and the relative.


Fate Line 4 in this figure shows similar story with successful merger by two non familial persons , benefiting all the parties.


Fate Line 5 shows a mystic cross on the fate line, it is great gift to have such a cross, it gives the native extreme intuitive powers, position of the cross is important with respect to the fate line.
in this case the cross is right on the fate line meaning that the intuitive property of the native Will help the native gain financially or materialistically, if the cross is on the left side of fate line, it only helps in gaining fame and popularity, if it is towards index finger, it will help the native in gaining spiritually, below the little finger always suggest aid in business dealings.


Fate line 6 in this figure shows influence lines cutting the fate line and reaching different mounts, we already know that if a line from Venus or Luna mounts cross fate line, it means loss, the area of loss can be read from the mount it reaches, if it reaches Jupiter mount, loss in education, loss in learned circles, loss in credibility in knowledge circles etc, if under Saturn, loss in finance, if under Apollo, loss in fame, authority, power and popularity, if under little finger, it means loss of business or contracts or relations.


In addition to all this one should see and identify the main fate line and equate it with the main vocation, and should be able to point out the current situation by using the time scale, once this is done, mapping the remaining part should not be very difficult, and conclusion should be drawn after studying all the lines, not just based on one line. Add information from each line to the matrix and then draw a consolidated conclusion.

Mysticism - Part I

ॐ नमः शिवाय!

Mystic :- A person who seeks by contemplation and self surrender to obtain unity with or absorption into the deity or the absolute, or who believes in the spiritual apprehension of truths that are beyond the intellect.

Mystique :- A fascinating aura of mystery , awe, and power surrounding someone or something.

Mysticism, Mystic or Mystique: it is a science of ultimate or the science of absolute awareness or the science to understand formation of everything from nothing, a mystic is a person seeking the ultimate truth or contemplating for union with the divine force, all this is mysterious to a layman, but a mystic has a direct experience or awareness of these spiritual energy within himself .

Birth, schooling, learning, earning, mating, reproducing, accumulating for future, enjoying, suffering, and finally to die is a normal course of life, the two ends, birth and death are the only mysterious points in this scale, remaining have been well explained by the physical, chemical or biological sciences, before birth and after death are two great mysteries, left over untouched by the general sciences, because they can not be quantified or proven empirically.

In a common man it is an unexplainable fear and intrigue, a taboo, why should some body know what is beyond these points, like some time back it was taboo to cross the oceans, but now it is a routine. I know one day people will be able to travel through past lives and will also be able to see future lives, and correct there karma readings, all this is not possible without divine help, the first and foremost step to attain this is to merge with the unknown force, many names have been given to this life force by many mystics in the past and present, but it still does not fill the void, because it is an out and out personal experience, it cannot be shared with a second individual in its totality unless he or she is also going through same experience.

The divine is, ultimate, absolute, unknown, infinite, tasteless, formless, shapeless,weightless, mass less, it is nothingness, it is everywhere, no space is free from it, it fills all the empty spaces, yet it is unquantifiable, it is everything but one can not quantify it, it is eternal, it is infinite in all directions, in all dimensions, in all forms, yet it is formless, it is so vast and unfathomable but one can find it in its entirety in oneself.

Lord Krishna could show his mother the entire creation in his mouth, so, as Deepak Chopra says it is like a hologram, a small piece of this hologram is complete in its own way, so the entire creation is present in smallest portion of the creation.

The human body is like an instrument which can actually create this holographic image internally, c
hakra's are like radio buttons in this beautiful instrument called human body, chakra's are like fine tuning centres in this instrument to actually create the entire creation internally, the thought is the fastest to travel it is many folds faster than the speed of light, and that thought which had traveled can become the nucleus for the hologram to recreate in its new location.

To move in this direction one has to unplug himself or herself from all the sensory images and illusions of the physical world, all senses needs to be subdued by shear devotion and not by suppression or resistance, there is no use suppressing the desire they will pop up again, desires need to be won over, they need to be emptied from the container called human mind.

Purify your body, let your body get only that is necessary, and positive, I know it is very difficult to do it living in a modern society, but if the goal is to merge with the absolute, do it. once the body is pure, purify your mind, your thought process, again lot depends on your food that you eat, eat only positive prana food, pumpkin, peanuts, coconut, Jaggery (no sugar), bitter gourd, and most of the gourds, beetroot, carrots, all leafy vegetables, salt, avoid negative prana food like, garlic, onions, eggplant, animal meat, nicotine products, narcotics, beverages, alcohol, sleeping pills, beetle leaves and nut, tobacco, etc, yes all the items which satisfy our senses needs to be curtailed for ever, once your mind is in your control, that means it allows only what you want to allow, nothing takes place without your approval, so the mind,body and soul are in complete union, tune your mind to attain consistent silence, with nothing in it, other than your personal bija mantra, or your deities bija mantra. let it resonate with the cosmic mind. enjoy it, nothing is more enjoyable than this.

One cannot control by leaving the world and living in an inaccessible place like forest etc. no, control your self when everything is around you, control is functional and more meaningful when the temptation is around, practise control on your craving for donuts, by sitting close to donuts shop, or eat so much that you might loose interest, but the first one is more spiritual, second one is for late comers and is time consuming, control your senses, once it knows the taste, it knows the temptation, it knows it is desirable, control it with freewill and not by forceful rejection, let the thought that is causing the mind to attract towards the temptation dissolve in the silence for ever, it is like controlling an unruly horse. one by one control all your horses, once done validate them by visiting the temptations, do not resist, do not suppress, let the thought vanish for ever, the temptation should mean nothing to you and your mind, once you reach this point you have won over your senses or Indriya.



Lord Krishna blows a flute, let your body be like a flute and let the divine force flow through you like it flows through a flute, the result is mystic's union with the mysterious, it is pure music.

You are ready for the voyage. more to follow...........

Chakras - Introduction

ॐ नमः शिवाय!

Nature gave some or other form of defence to every living thing on this Earth, you can take the smallest creature or the largest one, and you will find that every animal is equipped with the required Intelligence quotient(IQ) and Emotional Quotient(EQ) to fend for itself in this ever competitive Earth plane, particularly those animals which are part of the food chain, even a small snail is having excellent IQ and EQ, and all these animals use these features 24/7 mostly to survive.

All moving fauna and flora has atleast sense of touch, which means they feel the external stimulation and eventually to defend themselves must feel pain, including Lobsters. 

Human being (Homo Sapiens Sapiens) is the only living thing which is given the capacity to play GOD,  few lucky one's get a clue from the nature because of their past sadhana in their previous life, or/and they get additional help from their spiritual parents, otherwise most have to figure it out from some external source, like a Guru, Teacher, Coach, Friend, Relative, Books, Internet, Religious places, Clubs etc. etc.

The idea is every human cames with a super computer inside them which unfortunately comes disconnected for their own good, so that you can forget all your past experiences from all your previous lives and start afresh, but the problem is before one even comes to known of it, it is often too late, and one might find himself or herself already standing at the gateway of inevitable another birth, which can be anything from a critter to an evolved human. 

Seers from the past have called it "self realization", and it has to be done by yourself, there is no shortcut, someone who has already done it can show you the way up to some point, but after that point it is all your endeavor.

So one has to realize self, once you realize your SELF, it will guide you what to do in this life, for simple understanding let us imagine that this Earth on which we live is an examination centre where every soul with comes with a karma baggage, the Agends is simple:

1) Reduce the baggage of at least do not increase its weight,
2) Important one is realize your SELF and leave to its next destination, 

And remember this, what ever you do on this Earth, to live, eat, sleep, mate, procreate, earn, etc, all will only bind you further to this examination centre and not directly help you in anyway to realize your SELF, :-) which also means more you dwell on these things more you are moving yourself away from the actual purpose of coming here.

It is like you have reached the examination center but you got entangled in all the unnecessary things with other examinees and you more or less forget to prepare for the examination leave alone even attempting it.

And after many years when you are done with all the stimulations of the Earth, you have few years left but unfortunately because of your carelessness or over indulgence your body is too frail or not suitable to go through the tough process of SELF realization, which also means you wasted your another precious life, so all you can do is wait for another human life and there is no guarantee you will get one, because it depends entirely on your karma, both bad and good.

Many times you will hear, God gives us this life, God gave us this and that, sorry, :-) God does not give you anything, God is just a silent spectator as long as you are not self realized, GOD comes in a total reality once you are self realized, which means you get connected to your super computer, so don't waste your time talking, just take the dip towards self realization, first step towards self realization is detachment from all the worldly stimulations, once  you are on this path, THE GOD through its perfect mechanism will reach out to you and then guide you at every single nook and corners, so it is not GOD, it is you who chose this life, it was you who was responsible for your situation, and it was you who created the hell or heaven on this Earth, and it was you who revisited it, which means If you are creating hell, it is you who will reach there in your future lives, same way If you are creating heaven, again it is you who will enjoy it in your future lives, God has nothing to do with all this, God is beyond all this.

Bad karma, many times over you might qualify only for as a critter, and there are 84,00,000 yoni's. (Yoni is a female sexuality) scriptures say you might as well be born as a rock, which has so little consciousness that it can just get matter, and it stays there for millions of years waiting for some seer to at least sit on it, when it gets released from its karmic trap, :-) now look around all the mountains or stones or rocks around you. :-)

Good Karma, let us say there is one individual, who was very good to everyone, very charitable, very priest like, and never committed any sin, but he or she did nothing towards SELF realization, :-) so it is like, you came to an examination centre, and did all that I just explained and did not even write your exam, so one thing your good karma qualifies you for a good comfortable life in some heaven, :-) which can be on this Earth only, and as all good things never last for ever, he or she m ight come to a point all that good karma is over and they are back to square one, and as your Self Realization remains unattended, so you will have to work on that all over again, like this people have come and gone millions of times. :-)

For SELF realization your negative and even positive karma baggage has to be ZERO, I would say keep it little towards negative side so that you can hold on to your human body which is very essential, it would work like an anchor. :-)

Ways for SELF realization?.

Though there are many ways, 112, Kundakula awakening is one way which is a sure shot, it can be followed as a protocol and once the process is understood, one can just follow the steps and reach at the highest point and after that it is your karma, and help from the other side, but with it, you can at least reach at the gateway and wait for your approval from the other side, and once done, you can choose your next life If one is needed for further sadhana, so that you can resume your sadhana from where you left off, with out wasting time, so it becomes very important for such people to create and establish certain centers for people like them, who can carry out their sadhana with out any material world pressures or worrying about paying bills etc, :-) and it so unfortunate that no government is doing anything in this direction, even a country like India where this process has been a normal part of the culture no government has done anything.

Then, the problem with people who have worked on this is, they do not know what worked for them, as it needs lots of observation, remembering, memory, and then many might not be able to tell the process, they just remember one thing the state of being SELF. :-)

So the result is they are not able to replicate or help others doing what they have done for themselves, and when they talk about things they know or they understand, millions flock expecting they will get something out of it, sure people might get blessings to live a better life in this Earth (Examination centre) :-) but it will not help them towards SELF realization, it will have to be done by your self and by every single one of them, otherwise it is just another visit to the examination centre. 

See what nature had given us:

First thing that comes to any one's mind is Brain, then it's ability to use natural resources, ability to create artificial appendages, and of course using all these we have created our own picture, in which we do not allow any other living thing to move freely.

Many humans believe that we do not have any instinct, or ability to grasp the changes in nature, way in advance, like most animals do, and many humans do not accept the fact that there is a force which guards this Earth and maintains a balance, every human or for that matter every living thing on this Earth has a role to play and has a equal right to share the available resources.

It should be like, you reach the examination centre, prepare for the exam, (Self Realization), then write your exam, and move on to the higher planes for further evolution, and leave the examination centre in its best possible condition so that all future souls can do the same, but take a look what we have done to it, we are fighting with each other to turn this examination hall into our permanent resting area and we want it for only our people, who might look like us, Caucasians are leading in this endeavour, Chinese, Muslims, Christians, Jews, Blacks everyone is doing this in their own way.

If you take a look at us humans, we have an advantage of highly developed upright spine and an excellent balancing instrument to keep it in balance on two feet's, no other animal can actually match this ability, the upright spine is connected to a very advanced and recent brain, this brain had already shown its wonders, though this achievement is minuscule when you see the time and size of universe, had we used our other hidden features, may be we could have achieved many folds than this, that means we will have to play our role as nature wants us to play, which would also mean we have to respect every living thing on this earth plane for its space and resources.

What are these hidden features ?, well if you see the animals, they live and survive only because they are in danger almost 24/7, so their senses are maintained and updated to the best and kept recent, but in case of humans this department suffers like it is infected with perennial cold, many of us can't even hear properly not because we lack the ability but because we are so much lost in our picture (Read shell) that we do not have time to look around, or to check if any dangers are lurking around, so the end result is we get killed like sitting ducks, the senses are used for entertainment and other requirements for maintaining or creating our own picture.

The next thing is our mind, which has the capacity to interact with the nature not for mere survival but for maintaining it, but we have turned our mind in to a uncontrollable, most spoiled brat and we have pampered this brat so much that it does not listen to us any more, instead we listen to it, mind needs same attention as a kid needs to grow up in to a mature and responsible individual, many adults are so obsessed satisfying this spoiled brat that they do not have time to even think about nature, so, physically they might have counted 70 winters but mentally the mind remains a spoiled child, how to control this brat and keep it in your control, I have given a brief description in Mysticism Part -I, once your mind is in control and it is no longer a monkey, but a medium that will take you to deep bowels of your inner worlds. (7 worlds connected with 7 Chakras) 


Let us see what else the nature has given us, the Upanishads mention about the nadi's, nadi's are subtle channels through which the prana or the life force flows, there are total of 72,000 nadi's and out of main 14 nadi's, three are most important, Shushmana, Ida and Pingala.

The main nadi is called Chitra nadi with in the Shushmana, it connects the Brahmadvara at the base of the spine with the Brahmarandhra at the apex of the skull, where lord Shiva resides in his abode, deep in meditation, unconcerned, un-manifested, this nadi is a secret tunnel connected to the master of this nature, next to this is two secondary nadi's Pingala and Ida.

Pingala connects the right nostril with the Muladhara chakra, and Ida nadi connects the left nostril with the Muladhara chakra, so the three Nadi's Shushmana, Pingala, and Ida unite at two points, one at the Muladhara chakra, the point is called Yukta Triveni, Shakti resides here, the sole cause for all creation, this place is between the anus and the sexual organs, in males it is a clear flat area, but in females it is occupied by female Yoni, this is the place where the energy is hidden, it lie's there like a coiled three and half circles around the Swayambu linga at the base of the spine i.e. the kundalini, the serpentine power or energy and it closes the Brahmadvara with its head and holds its tail in its mouth, it remains dormant, un-manifested, this is the status of un-awakened kundalini energy, to awaken it, one has to practice Yoga.

The three nadi's unite behind the bridge between the two eyes, near the third eye, the Ajna chakra, also called as Mukta Triveni after this point only Shushmana nadi travels upwards up to the Shasrara.

What are we doing with this energy?, this is nothing but your sexual energy, this sexual energy can be used at two levels, one at the physical level (Everyone knows, in fact in the west it is taught to high school kids even before they are ready) and the second one is at the Cosmic level (This is not taught because no one knows how).


If this energy is used physically, the primary purpose is, it helps in reproduction, but most humans are neck deep in its secondary purpose, i.e. pleasure, this in fact gives you pleasure, if indulged regularly, it causes exhaustion, and a lot of food is necessary to convert the blood into this energy, in males it is seminal fluid and in women it is vaginal fluid, it is like a tap, if left open, it would run till the tanks are empty, then again it is vicious, it does not end. but if human being turns off this tap and try to retain the energy, this is the third and most important purpose, to elevate this energy to the higher levels  through the three nadis, after some time, if there is no outward direction for this fluid, it is processed back into the blood stream and is directed into the shushmana nadi, but as this section is also connected to the other two nadi's Pingala and Ida, the redirected energy is bound to flow in them also.

Now that we know that the body has nadi's, which channel the energy, but the ultimate purpose is to send it upwards towards the Brahmarandhra, towards Shasrara present at the tip of the head, but it is not possible to send it like water through a pipe, the Kundalini energy needs to be tuned in to this direction by tuning it through various chakras present between the base of the spine and the tip of the head. 

One very important point is if someone tries to cut open a human body and tries to find these chakras, they will not find them as these are present in the subtle bodies, which are four in number.

Swami Sivananda maharaj said if the Kundalini energy reaches the Sahasrara chakra, no doubt it is a great feat in itself but the most important thing is to sustain it there, to keep it in that position and it is not possible with out the help of other chakras. 



Muladhara chakra, 1st chakra or the base chakra present near the base of spine.

Svadhisthana chakra, 2nd chakra is present between the navel and the Muladhara chakra.

Manipuri chakra, 3rd chakra is present near the navel. 

(Adi Shankara Charya in his Saundarya Lahiri has called the second chakra as Manipuri chakra and third chakra as Svadhisthana Chakra, though the element is remains same Earth, Water and Fire, Air, and Ether in this order)

Anahata chakra, 4th chakra is present near the base of the sternum, or near the heart.

Vishuddha chakra, 5th chakra,is present in the throat, near the thyroid glands.

Ajna chakra, 6th chakra is present near the pineal gland, the third eye.

Sahasrara is present as a crown of 1000 petals lotus hanging downwards from the Brahmarandhra.

Between Ajna chakra and Shasrara, there are two minor chakras, Manas chakra and Soma chakra, the time and efforts needed to reach the Ajna chakra from Muladhara chakra is at one level and the time and efforts needed to reach the Shasrara chakra from Ajna chakra is at a different level and is more difficult to sustain, but once the native acheives this, Swami Sivananda maharaj says , the native is blessed with all the divine powers, all Shiddhis and Riddhis (minor powers) roll under his feet, he can command the nature, he can command the five elements, his glory is indescribable.

Palmistry - Science of your palm

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !

Palmistry is a science and a beautiful tool present in your own palms, those lines that you see in your palm are not formed because you fold your hand, they are carved out by you or your unconscious mind, which works in a very subtle way, these are fine channels for allowing the omnipresent cosmic energy to flow through, which is like a force trying to enter your inner depths to assimilate you into its eternal silence, yes, there are too many man made distractions to outdo it and we are very proud of them.

This cosmic energy does not form these channels, in fact it is your mind set which is doing it, once the channels are formed, the cosmic energy simply flows through it, and the native moves in that direction, many people think it is a pseudoscience or superstition, that's because they never monitored it, see if you can monitor it by taking prints of your palms, both left and right hand, prints can be obtained by simply placing your hand on top of a good photocopy machine, or by scanning it, date them and file them, compare them year after year, you will be astonished, yes, one very important factor is events effecting your one or more spheres of life, if the events are drastic, so will be the change in the lines in your palm, if your life is flowing in a uni direction, without any hiccups, why would it reflect in your palm, it will not, but if your life is going through ups and downs, they are recorded not for the past, for the present and future also. left hand will not show any changes, but the right hand will change as if it is a line graph of some market values.

It is a normal observation that people who are going through some turmoil in their lives are the one's who seek occult help, and people who are simply doing fine because of their Adhruda karma (excusable sins or actions in past lives), hardly bother about all this enigmatic science, even I started looking in to these, when things were not going the way I was planning, but once I took hold of this science, it has not only helped me to prepare for the inevitable events way in advance but also to avoid them, but yes the magnitude of the event is sometimes difficult to fathom, and the preparations in place may not be sufficient enough to overcome the tide.

e.g. Weather forecast helps us to prepare in advance for the forthcoming storms, the magnitude of storm more or less differs from the prediction, but the storm is inevitable event, if prepared well you might, stay home, cancel your travel plans, go underground etc. etc. but you can not stop the storm from happening, life events are exactly like storms, they happen whether you like them or not, so is it not helpful to keep the weather report handy or report of your probable forthcoming life events handy way in advance, instead of facing each and every small or big storm as a surprise. I would like to get a copy of my weather report in advance, it definitely helps.

Every human has a report in his/her palms, ready to be read or understood, but how many of us, after we wash our hands, really take a close look at them, our own compass, provided by the nature, because we are the weakest of all living things when it comes to facing the calamities of nature, little drop in temperature or pressure and we are in trouble, yet we are the greatest predators on this earth, that's because of our mind power used in a very negative direction, here we are trying to use it in a very positive direction.

In addition to foggy understanding of this science, there are many more complications, like for man it is right hand, for women it is left hand, then for neutral people, where should we look?.

Basically we have to see two things, first is cosmic energy, which is required by all living things to survive, work, reproduce, it is the life force etc, and the second thing is the receptor which is our palm, the energy flows through the channels formed in the palm of your working hand, that means if you are a right handed person, then the energy flows through your right hand to your mind and back, if you are a left handed person, it flows through your left hand i.e the inactive hand. Left hand in a right handed person and right hand in a left handed person is the inactive hand and it also receives this energy but a very standard and constant amount, showing the purpose of life, the pattern of your life events, like a very well laid out graph which doesn't change, and this happens when the foetus is growing in the uterus, your life events are being mapped and etched into your palms, initially a baby will have similar hand prints, and it is very difficult to make out which one is which, until the person starts using his/her hands to act or to do things.

So the life predicted for you by the nature is etched out in you recessive or inactive hand, and the life that you are living is etched out in your dominant or active hand and is always changing based on your environment, till you start taking your own decisions, your life is not your life, it is lived by you parents or guardians, so the pattern of lines in your palm will remain same for that period as if nothing is happening, but the moment you start taking decisions for your life or in a way you start living your life, the lines in your active hand start changing.

One should start taking palm prints on every birthday and file them, match them after three or four years and see if there is a change, again, if life is eventful, there will be a change, if life is event less, no changes will be observed, but the pattern of lines definitely will suggest the type and quality of life.

Little more on cosmic energy, the quality of receiving instrument is very important to contemplate on various events of life of a native, the moment native is born, a planetary equation is drawn and deposited in the natives account, in astrology we call it Kundali or horoscope, which tells, various positions and situations of planets surrounding our planet earth at the time of the birth of the native, based on this planetary equation, the palm pattern is carved out, each line represents some sphere of life, and it flows or passes through the planetary centres present in the palm, so the line representing most healthy sphere in native life would be healthy, means it would be of proper colour, length, depth, intensity, pattern, direction, initiation, and termination, same thing for the line representing worst sphere of life, it will be too short or too long, broken, littered with signs, dark, too deep or too subtle, checkered, or totally absent, when I say absent, it is good for some lines to be absent then actually present in a good hand, but this does not apply to main lines.

A person craving for materialistic happiness, will have well defined lines directed towards Saturn finger, i.e. middle finger, since the the cosmic energy is being utilized to achieve it, it is a different matter whether the native will be able to achieve it or not, but the life force will be directed towards that goal, manifested in the palm, as I said earlier, the quality of receiving instrument is very important, i.e. the planetary equation, native free will or will power will definitely make a difference but for a short term, since to sustain such an endeavour will be very energy consuming, other areas in the life of the native will considerably suffer, so what is your mind filled with decides your life path and not whether you have invested or not, the mind picks up all your cravings, desires, temptations and forms a equation which carves out the lines of your life path, and it is a well known fact that food is the basis of mind.

So what ever you eat, will reflect in your mind and thoughts, whatever you think will reflect in your actions, whichever way you act, will reflect in lines of your palms, whatever is the quality of lines in your palms, will reflect in the quality of life you will live, whatever life you live will reflect in what you eat.

now one may ask where do we start then, it is like the egg is first or the chicken, I would say start from your food habits, eat Saattwik food, to develop saattwik mentality, which will create a saattwik personality, and the action followed will be saattwik too, the energy you will pull into your being will be saattwik, the life you will live will be saattwik.

What is saattwik? saattwik means, lord Vishnu is saattwik, lord Rama from great epic Ramayana of Bharat(India) is saattwik, pumpkin is a saattwik vegetable, fruits are saattwik, Jupiter is a saattwik planet, in a simple way saattwik is: strong yet gentle, learned yet simple, deep yet calm, rich yet humble, powerful yet accessible or grounded, etc in a way it is a capsule for positive energy.


Now one may ask where should we see for a change and which line should we see for a change and how do we come to a conclusion that the line is fine, or such an such pattern of lines means good or bad, etc, too many questions????????:-) it is very normal to have questions.

So, the answer is, one step at a time, palmistry can be divided in to two broad divisions.

1- Character or genetic make up
2- mapping energy lines

When I say character or genetic make up, we all are outputs of chemical reaction between two sets of genetic material ( which are nothing but combinations of amino acids) , so we have certain set of traits passed down by our ancestors, which can be further divided in to classes of individuals, based on type of hands they have, divisions are based on length of fingers versus length of palm base, width of palm, colour of skin, texture of skin, type of skin, quality of hair, palm skin characteristics, soft, hard, rough, thick, clear, clean, dirty, pink, dark, light, shape and type of fingers and finger nails, knotted, round, straight, crooked, curved, leaning towards, length of phalanges, nail colour, nail shape, nail pattern, nail thickness, whorls, finger prints, thumb is treated with lot of specialty, four fingers are on one level, thumb is on another level, low set, normal set, high set, rigid, flexible, angle between the thumb and the palm, all these give you information about the natives characteristics and his genetic constitution but till now not one point about his life. it is like what kind of car you have, how fast can it go, how comfortable it is, mileage per litre of gas, aerodynamics, attractiveness, ruggedness etc, but we never know how it will be driven, unless until we see it being driven or we know who is driving it.

The lines in the palm are divided in to three main areas, mind, body and life, which are further divided into many branches and sub lines, these lines put together will suggest what kind of life the native has been living and is living and will live in future, the future is predicted based on current foundation, if changes are brought in to one's life the future is bound to change.
it is possible, that one may have a Aston martin and might drive it like a cart, and one may have a bullock cart and might drive it like a jet, and vice verse, one might have a car falling apart but might drive it very safely, and one might have a Honda accord yet might get killed. so everything stops at mind set.


Instead of talking about characteristics of native, I would emphasize more on pattern of lines i.e. study of lines and patterns in the palm, since it is more important to know what direction we have taken and if it is favourable for us in a long term or not, so that we can make necessary changes to accommodate the required directions.

First glance: what do you see in your hand,(this is after you thoroughly wash your hand)


Are your lines clear and prominent, first, look for line of destiny, or line of fate, or line of career, or active line or line of your life's direction,(Fig p1, B)this is the most important line of all, and is present in almost every hand in some form, if present, it means you have a direction, if multiple, means you have taken multiple directions simultaneously, e.g. you may have a job, you may be practising occult scientist, and you may be investing in shares and bonds and also you are involved in attaining higher qualifications, so these are four different directions, earning through service, exploring human limits, money through speculation, and education, so the hand should have four fate lines, now length will differ, one of them could be just a dot or like a comma, since, each interest or direction has a time period, time is directly proportional to the length of the lines, as a standard, 70 years(Fig p1, A) is taken as life expectancy, starting from the base of palm till base of middle finger, divide it in to divisions of 5 years each and make a print, in a normal hand, the first line bisecting the fate line is head line (Fig p1, C, passing horizontally from right to left in a palm) and the second line bisecting it will be the heart line (Fig p1, D, passing horizontally from left to right towards index or middle finger) these two can be marked as 35 year and 45 year in a medium hand, in a small hand it will be 42 and 56 years, in a large hand it will be 30 and 42 years.






Once you get hold of your fate line, study it daily for few days, till you completely understand each and every aspect of this line, since this is like the main line on the graph, which changes with slightest change in the mind set. 

Following is palm ManTra recite it every day morning by looking at your palm.

Karaagra Vasate LaxmiH, Karamoole Saraswati !,

Karamadhye tu GovinddaH, Prabhaate Karadarshanam!!

It means: On the finger tips resides Goddess Laxmi, 
               On the wrist resides Goddess Saraswati,
               In the center O Lord Govinda you reside,
               Every day morning take a look at your palms and recite this ManTra.

More to follow: Fate line, head line, heart line, life line, sun line, health line, other lines.   keep checking :-)

Astrology: Vedic Astrology - Introduction

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !

Astrology is a knowledge of the celestial bodies and cosmic influence on the personality, character, actions, events, happenings of a native and also his/her routine affairs, it is not a superstition or mere belief, it is a beautiful science, a technical tool, if astronomy is to study the cosmic bodies for their physical properties and their existence, Astrology is a science dealing with its spiritual aspect, it also involves mathematics and Astronomy, in Vedic astrology it is called drig ganith and siddhanta resp.

Anatomy deals with human body and its organs, it says heart is a four chambered blood pumping station, but it does not say anything about feeling attached to the heart, again when we feel bad, we feel pain in our heart, and heart is responsible for all the relational ups and down’s, it is said to be broken, hard, soft, but medical science can not or does not deal with this aspect of the heart or for that matter any organ of the human body, like guts, stomach, similarly, astrology is that subtle energetic aura of celestial bodies which continuously reaches us, about which astronomy or physical sciences can not or does not explain.
The scientific community generally considers astrology to be a pseudoscience or superstition, I basically belong to this community, (my primary expertise is in research and development in Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry, Pharmaceuticals), but is it possible to prove that my heart longs for such an such object by carrying out empirical tests, I think it would sound as absurd as trying to prove that planet mars causes flare ups in me, so, feelings of heart, planetary influence, godly visions all are very personal experiences, at present we do not have methods available to quatify or empirically prove them.

A lame comment from most of the people ignorant of astrology or Jyotisha is, how is it possible that a planet millions of miles away, knows that I exist and is able to influence me in my day to day functions, I would say, the moment the native is born, a celestial equation is drawn and is put it in your account, it is like a chip or a RFID clandestinely placed in your body to track you, but here it is much more severe, it not only tracks you, it also influences you in your every aspect of life, sometime you might feel that you are not living your life but the celestial bodies are, so we are like mere pieces of chess, standing on the chess board called earth plane, waiting for the next move, it is not that worse also :-), we are free to take decisions, we are free to act, we are free not to move or act at all, but the meek voice deep within keeps pestering us, move, move, move, and what about all those human entities, moving around freely unhindered under the influence of the celestial bodies, they are coming your way, they cross your way, they do not have the will power, or determination not to act or move against the influence of the celestial bodies, so again if not directly, indirectly the cosmos influences you through you parents, siblings, relatives, spouse, children, grand children, surroundings, colleagues, boss, subordinates, strangers, lunar cycles, solar cycles, other planets etc.

To make the scene already gloomy, let me make it little worse, we are like those cucumber pieces lying in a solution of olive oil, we are like pickle in oil, oil is the atmosphere, this is the energy which fills you, passes through us, we are submerged in it like a pickle, every pore is filled, every inter molecular space, or void is filled with this force or energy, and we it Shri Vishnu, he is Sarva Bhuta Vyapecha, he is everywhere, omnipresent.


History:

Almost every civilization had experience with these celestial bodies, fortunately some of them took pains to record them what ever way they could, and some of them like in Bharat(India) the knowledge was transferred from generation to generation by word of mouth, the whole knowledge is in the form of Sanskrit couplets called slokas e.g. Mantra for sun

Japa koosooma sankarsham kashya-peeyam maha-jutim,
tamorim sarva pahpagnam pranato smee deevahkaram


Few significant traditions of astrology are:

Babylonian Astrology - Mesopotamia- modern Iraq,
Celtic Astrology - Europe
Chinese Astrology - China
Germanic Runic Astrology - German Europe

Nahuatl Astrology - Pre Columbian Mexico
Persian – Arabic Astrology - By early Muslims in Iran plateau,
Tibetan Astrology – Tibet,
Uranian Astrology- Germany – Alfred writte- Hamburg school of astrology
Western Astrology - originated in Mesopotamia- modern Iraq

Jyotisha or Vedic Astrology, it is one of the six disciplines of Vedanta, the culmination of Veda’s it is one of the oldest schools of astrology with an independent origin.
