Paramahansa Yogananda horoscope analysis -Law of Karma

 

Paramahansa Yogananda was born in Gorakhpur at 8.38 PM on 5-1-1893. His name remaines etched in the list of great men who popularized the science of Kriya Yoga in the west.

Kriya yoga is a branch of traditional yoga. It employs methods adapted from various yoga schools like Hatha, Kundalini and tantra with a strong emphasis on Pranayama. By its prctice the yogi attunes himself with the universal sound of Om and gets connected to cosmic consciousness. By merging himself in it, he learns to dissolve his ego in God.

The methods of Kriya Yoga have been known to Indian yogis from thousands of years. Yogananda was selected by providence to spread it in the west.

The first guru who made this yogic method public was Lahiri Mahasaya who lived most of his life in Kasi or Varanasi. Kriya yoga has branched out into several different schools after his demise, each school proclaiming itself to be the possessor of original kriya which exists or not nobody knows.

Look at the birth chart of Yogananda above.

His Lagna as well as Moon sign is Simha. Star is Makha, Venus is Atmakaraka and Jupiter Amatya Karaka.

Lagna Lord Sun is in 5th house along with karaka for intellect Mercury. Rahu is in 9th. In Lagna we have 12th Lord Moon. The mutual trinal aspects between these planets made him tread on the path of Yoga. From Lagnarudha Mesha, we have Moon in 5th, Sun in 9th and from Atmakaraka Lagna Scorpio there are Jupiter and Mars in 5th. All these portray him as a great yogi.
 
However, family Lord Budha in zero degrees in Rasi Sandhi, malefic Saturn as 7th lord in 2nd house of family denied him the pleasures of a family life.
 
Swami Vivekananda introduced the wisdom of Vedanta to the west. Yogananda followed him and took Kriya Yoga from India to the west.

Let me look into his birth chart more closely.

His birth time was recorded as 8.38 PM, but I rectified it as 8.39. Those who know how to do birth time rectification will understand the process very well. So, no need to elaborate on that again.

He was born in Ketu-Moon-Saturn dasa. It made him an introvert, emotional and impulsive in nature with strong beliefs in other worlds, souls, energies and such supernatural stuff. If you read his book you will understand how he harps on these points again and again.

Balance of Ketu dasa at birth was 4 years 9 months 15 days. So, by 1897 Ketu dasa was over and Venus dasa of 20 years started.

Venus dasa (1897 to 1917)

He was under Venus-Mars dasas when his mother died in 1904. Venus in 4th and Mars in 8th clearly indicates mothers death.

Venus is not good for Simha lagna natives. It is stationed in 4th house of eduction, but Scorpio is a secretive sign. So, his college education was just nominal. It gave him spiritual educaton instead.

In 1910 when he met his guru Swami Yukteswar Giri he was under Venus-Jupiter dasa. Jupiter is with 9th Lord Mars stationed in spiritual sign Mina. Rahu who is in Mesha again signifies Mars. Rahu is non-traditional in nature, grants knowledge of astrology and foreign religions.

Swami Yukteswar Giri had in depth knowledge of Indian astrology. He revived an ancient branch of astrology known as Cosmic Astrology which has become defunt due to destruction of many invaluable books in Muslim invasions. However his efforts to unite Hinduism and Christianity were never fulfilled. At present the divide between these two religions has become deeper than it was in his time. Though Hindus are very liberal and accept all religions as different paths to the same God, religions like christianity and Islam never subscribe to this view, always asserting their superiority and looking down on Hinduism. This is nothing but a symptom of a primitive, unevolved racist mindset.

Yogannada took sanyas in July 1915 from Swami Yukteswar Giri. He was under Venus - Mercury - Rahu at that time. Mercury in 5th, Rahu in 9th, mutual aspect between them and Venus in 9th Lord Mars' house made him a monk in that period. 

In 1917 in Venus-Ketu dasa, he started Yogoda Satsang Society in India. Venus was looking at 10th house indicating professional landmark and Ketu was in third house of past karma signifying Venus again.

Sun dasa (1917 to 1923)

on 25 July 1920 he had a vision in which he saw himself lecturing in front of a large gathering of white people. Some say he saw Babaji who asked him to go to America to preach Kriya Yoga. It was Sun-Jupiter-Rahu at that time. Sun and Rahu are in trinal aspect, being in 5th and 9th kona rasis. Rahu in 9th indicates a religious mission to foreign lands. Jupiter has argala from Moon and Ketu indicating an occult vision. Hence an event of deep spiritual significance must have happened at that time. But visit of Babaji ? I doubt very much.

Today there are nny number of charlatans who say 'I have seen Babaji'. All the internet gurus claim their authority from Babaji. Even movie actors claim to have seen Babaji. Hilarious ! Babaji has become very cheap nowadays.

Yogananda landed in Boston on 19 September 1920 under Sun-Saturn-Saturn dasa. Saturn is a malefic to this chart and certainly this dasa was not a good one to begin such an important task. That is why there were so many rifts, quarrels and law suits in SRF right from its beginning days.

As 7th Lord, Saturn took him to a distant land, USA. He faced many troubles in the west for 15 years while trying to preach Kriya Yoga. Though initially Americans listend to him with great interest, very soon they lost interest in it. It is natural for them to do so, because America needs newer fads every other day. They, being a very materialistic society, get bored with everything very quickly.

He lived in Boston in 1920-23, teaching Kriya Yoga to the Americans. In his chart, Mercury, Ketu and Venus sub periods were running in the Sun Maha Dasa at that time. So he saw many ups and downs in his spiritual career.

Moon dasa (1923 - 1933)

In 1923, He started touring USA to deliver lectures and continued them till 1924-25 and met his chief disciples. Moon as 12th Lord, being the natural indicator of travelling kept him on the the move always, made him to meet many distinguished personalities and built emotional bonding with many Americans. Moon controls emotions.

His main center, the Mother Center as it is called today, was started at Mt. Washington, Los Angels on 25 October 1925 in Moon-Rahu-Saturn. Moon being the 12th Lord, indicates a foreign land and Saturn is the lord of 10th from 9th showing his spiritual work place. Rahu in the 9th supports this karma. So his main center stood in a foregn land.

Between 1925-33 his fame started spreading. He got acquinted to many well known persons and initiated them into the path of Yoga.

In 1929 Dhirananda his college frined from India and who was summoned to USA to help him in the work, broke his association with Yogananda on monetary grounds. It was Moon-Saturn at that time.  Saturn is 6th and 7th Lord, indicating partners turning into enemies. This dasa is known to give depression and mental unrest. True to its influence, Dhirananda started a law suit against him. Mercury antara followed. Moon-Mercury is known to break family bonds and land a person in serious family disputes. As Yogananda was a monk, and devoid of a family, his own organisation became his family. In the court case that went on for a few years, Dhirananda won against Yogananda. This is a clear indication which proves that a man howsoever great he might be spiritually, can never escape from the effects of planets and karma.

From 1929 to 1939 USA was under great economic depression. Yogananda ran Saturn, Mercury, Ketu, Venus and Sun in the major dasa of Moon. He saw many ups and downs in this period. He was able to stand firmly, only with the financial support extended by his faithful supporter and successor James J. Lynn.

Mars dasa (1933-1940)

During this time, in June 1935 he went back to India for a year.  It was Mars - Jupiter. Jupiter or Guru as he is called in Indian astrology, aptly indicates one's spiritual preceptor. Mars as 9th Lord also indicates one's teacher. However, as Jupiter owns the 8th house of demise and destruction, Sri Yukteswar Giri died shortly after.

In October and November 1935, when he visited Ramana Maharshi in Tiruvannamalai, it was Mars-Jupiter-Sun. It was strange to note that he met Ramana Maharshi, the Sun of the spiritual world, in the sub sub period of Sun in his chart.

However his judgement went wrong. Adivsed by Talyar Khan, a Farsi devotee of Ramana Maharshi, he visited the Maharshi at Tiruvannamalai. But he was impressed more by Yogi Ramayya who was a staunch disciple of Maharshi more than the Maharshi himself. It seems he remarked, 'The disciple (Yogi Ramayya) appears to be spiritually more advanced than his guru (Ramana Maharshi). Nothing could be more false than this evaluation ! When I read this statement by Yogananda, I was aghast with disbelief in his ability to see things clearly.

In December same year, he met Anandamayi Ma who was knwon for her loving nature as indicated by the Vidasa of Moon.

On 9 March 1936 in Mars- Jupiter-Rahu dasa, Swami Yukteswar giri died. We can notice Mars and Jupiter in the 8th house of destruction and Rahu in 9th indicating teacher. It is a guru chandala dasa period. Hence his guru died.

In June - 1936 while on his way back to USA, he saw the astral body of Swami Yukteswar giri from a hotel room in Mumbai, which engaged him in a conversation for about two hours on astral worlds. It was Mars-Saturn-Mercury. This dasa gives accidents or shocks to the mind, also severe depression and loneliness. Cause of his depression was his inability to be at the bedside of his guru, despite the guru's subtle indications that his life was coming to an end shortly. Yogannda certainly might have seen his guru in astral body, but the narration by Sri Yukteswar of the subtle worlds that went on for two hours seems to be a consoling imagination of Yogananda's fertile brain which was under a deep sense of remorse and guilt. Most of the narration was just his imagination. My deduction is clearly supported by the dasa prevaling at that time.

Rahu dasa (1940-1958)

In 1940, Rahu dasa, the last dasa of his life, started to operate. He became a recluse in his own Ashram, living in a solitary retreat cabin built for that purpose. Rahu is in the 9th house of spirituality and meditation. So his sadhana intensified in the final dasa of his life.

In the beginning of Rahu dasa Sri Nerode (Nirad Ranjan Chowdhury) who played a key role in the initial days of SRF separated himself from it and sued Yogananda. Rahu in 9th, with its Lord Mars in 8th started showing its effects. Though Yogananda won the case easily, it was a big blow to his organisation again, after Dhirananda episode.

During Rahu-Rahu and Rahu-Jupiter dasas that ran between 1940 and 1945 he started many new enterprises that eventually collapsed. These dasas are never supportive of any great things to materialize. This again, is a clear proof of what I have been saying for the past decade, that even great people are not immune to planetary influences. 

In 1941 he started 'The Yoga Univarsity of Washington' which did not survive for long. In 1942, the started the 'World brotherhood colony' but there were no takers, so it suffered a natural decline and eventual death.

On 1 Jan 1946, he released his magnum opus, 'Autobiography of a yogi' which has been read by millions of people around the world since then.  It was released under Rahu-Saturn-Saturn dasa. It was a sapita dasa. Because of the trinal stationing of Rahu and Saturn in his chart, the book became an instant success. However, as this is called Sapita Yoga or the cursed yoga, eventually this book has become responsible for the mushroom growth of many psuedo kriya yoga gurus and centers everwhere in the world, each claiming to be the possessor of real kriya yoga technique. I think this real technique does not exist anywhere, because what is real for one may not be so for another ! Spiritual sadhana is individual, never collective.

This book seems to encourage more the other worldy and the supernatural than the mundane. I feel it is more fiction and less real.

In 1948 he confided that he attained an exalted state called Nitya Samadhi. About this time, Kriyananda became his disciple. Rahu-Saturn ended and Mercury sub dasa started at this time in his chart. 5th house where Mercury is stationed was activated and he got new disciples. However, because of the influence of Rahu, Kriyananda separated from SRF in 1962 and established another organisation called Ananda. A court case continued between SRF and Kriyananda for a decade or so. Now the question is, did Yogananda who attained Nitya Samadhi, not know that Kriyananda would eventually estrange himself from SRF and proceed to sue his parent organisation?

In 1949, Yogananda published 'The Holy Science' a book written by Swami Yukteshvar under the guidance of Babaji himself. Though it is a brilliant book that explains the yuga theory in a micro way, I think there are some errors in its calculations. Moreover, cross references from the Vedas and the Bible to show that both are essentially the same, are not found in abundance in it as was expected by a knowledgeable reader who is well versed in both the religions. So, I think the idea of Babaji who wanted to prove the essential oneness of the above two religions was not fulfilled in toto. Even today, except the enlightened people of the west, others look down on Sanatana Dharma or Hinduism with contempt. Conversions are more rampant now in India than ever. So, the divide remains almost the same and the book served no big purpose.

During 1950-52 he was under Rahu-Mercury and Rahu-Ketu dasas. His health declined fast in this period. He became almost a recluse in his Ashram. Finally on 7 March 1952 he fell down after a speech and died of heart attack. He was under Rahu-Ketu-Saturn dasa on that day. Nodal dasa coupled with Sapita yoga drew the curtain on his life.

This proves again that none of us, including the spiritually realized souls, can escape from the influence of planets. A soul when it takes a human body, must undergo the effects of its karma as distributed by the planetary forces. There is no escape !

Yogananda in his book says, he outwitted the stars, in as much as he did not marry thrice as predicted by his family astrologer. He escaped his karma no doubt, but the same karma made him suffer in a different way. His family astrologer predicted that he will marry thrice and two of his wives will die but the third wife will live. Let me show you how this prediction came true, in a different sense.

7th house represents not only life partner, but also business partners. Dhirananda and Nirod were his trusted partners who left SRF and sued him. This is as good as the deaths of two wives. Only James J Lynn remained faithful to him till the end. This is the third marriage which lasted. Yogananda, by his will power, could cancel out the three marriages thus avoiding the deaths of his two wives, but he could not wipe out the karma totally. It came in the form of his trusted followers and made him experience the pain, all the way. 7th house controls marriage as well as business partnership !

So what Yogananda said was wrong. He never outwitted his stars, nor anybody can.

You can never overcome the effect of planets, it is impossible. If you close one window, another opens in the karmic mansion. This is how the law of karma acts, bypassing our efforts to escape from it.

You can only modify your karma. Cancellation is next to impossible !

Spiritual Astrology

In the past, I had seen a peculiar thing happening many times. People who are running good dasas in their lives happen to come and meet me. It happens not for everyone, but for those who were connected to me from past births. It happened again. A woman in her thirties came to me in Hyderabad, all the way searching for my address and cleared her doubts by talking to me for a couple of hours. She said she had read a few of my books.

Excerpts from that talk for the readers of my blog.

1. Is karma cancelled by remedies? If so, even after performing remedies like homas etc, why problems still remain the same?

Ans: Remedies certainly do cancel out karma, if correct remedies are done in correct way. Not every karma needs homas to be performed. One should take medicine according to the illness. Remedies prescribed by commercial astrologers never work because they are just businessmen. A remedy should exactly match with the problem hauting you. All these people should be without hypocrisy - the one who is seeking the remedy, the one who is prescribing it and the one who is doing it for you. Only then the remedy works, not otherwise.

2. If so, why even bigshots are getting homas done for them?

Ans: Forget about the so-called bigshots, I dont consider them so. Only those who got black money spend it on such things. A man who earns money through righeteous means will never run after such astrologers. He never spends his hard earned money on such remedies.

3. If they find the remedies ineffective, why do they get them done again and again?

Ans: Tell me one thing. Is everyone who is successful in life, doing such remedies? No. Fake astrologers are thriving on the fear factor that haunts the believers. It is just religious blackmail. Thats all. 

4. What kind of remedies you prescribe?

Ans: Not these kind of remedies. These are like taking a pain killer for cancer. Temples, rituals, homas are not real remedies. First of all, you need to change your life style. This is the remedy I usually suggest. 

5. Why do you teach astrology at all?

Ans: My idea is to teach the real science of astrology to the real seekers. Falsehood reigns supreme if truth keeps silent. That is why I teach astrology. 

6. Do the Shashtyamsa Chart (D-60) reveal past birth?

Ans: There is no relation to that with the past birth. Some section of astrologers teach that way, which I dont believe in. Truth is different. 

7. Which amsa chakras do you see, for your analysis?

Ans: Usually, I dont go beyond Rasi and Navamsa charts. This is the ancient method that is being followed by traditional astrologers of India since times immemorial. They reveal everything. Only very rarely do I look into other divisional charts.

8. Does the Rasi chakra itself reveal past birth?

Ans: By all means. If you are experienced you can know. 

9. Today's astrolgoers are earning a lot by prescribing remedies left and right. I know some such people. Are they not gathering more bad karma for themselves by doing so?

Ans: They are. But they dont feel any rough weather when good dasas are running in their lives. Once the dasas change for worse, they get beaten up by destiny.

10. Do they suffer in this life or it gets postponed to a future birth?

Ans: Both are possible. It can be many more ways. If you want to understand the scheme of karma, you must have yoga drishti. If not, you cannot understand it ever. 

11. In your view, how should an astologer conduct himself?

Ans: He should live like a sage. He should not marry if possible, should not crave for money, should not have luxury items in his home, no TV and no mobile. He should eat once a day, sleep on bare floor and be doing sadhana. 

12. Is mantra sadhana a must for an astrologer? Can I not study astrology just like I do mathematics?

Ans: Mantra sadhana is needed. Astrology is not mere mathematics. One needs intuition to be a good astrologer. It comes only from sadhana. 

13. Will anyone be able to do all such things ever?

Ans: Only a few could do them, not everyone.

14. Do you teach all these?

Ans: Not for all. I teach those who I like. It depends on their personality. All my inner circle disciples are such. 

15. What should one do if he wants to learn from you?

Ans: You need to become my disciple and walk in my path. You need to walk in the path I walked myself. We call this path 'Panchawati way'. 

16. Why do you hate visiting holy places?

Ans: Not exactly. One should go there in right spirit. I dont like visiting holy places just like going for a picnic. You need to do it like a sadhana. 

17. I felt great peace in Arunachalam and Varanasi. Was it real?

Ans: For you it was real. Yes, they do have that aura. Not only there, in many such places, there is peace. But you need to be in the right state to feel it. 

18. Nowadays, in every holy place we find a sea of people and noise. How to feel the peace at such places?

Ans: You need to keep your mind above the people and noise. Being amid people, you should be above them. Or, just dont go to such places during festivals. Be in your home and do sadhana, It is the best thing to do. 

19. What do you call your style of astrology?

Ans: You can call it Spiritual Astrology. 

20. What happens if I follow it?

Ans: Same thing that happens if you walk in my sadhana path. Your karma gets cleaned up. You will reach fulfilment in life. 

21. Do I not be successful in life?

Ans: You will reach a state where you will remain the same, in happinss and misery. Nobody's life will be exactly according to his plan. This is true irrespective of your remedies. If you understand this simple truth, you dont need astrology anymore.

22. If that be the case, why should learn astrology from you at all?

Ans: I never force you to learn from me. Dont do it if you dont want. 

23. Suppose we look at a chart, will its bad karma gets transferred to us?

Ans: By mere analysis, you will get a little fo it to yourself. If you prescribe remedies, you will be affected severely. You will suffer surely from that.

24. Can we not learn astrlogy without touching remedial portion?

Ans: You can learn as a hobby. But why? You will feel like looking into everybody's chart and suffer thereby. Occult is not a joke. Never play with that.

25. You walked a long way in your life. How do you feel now?

Ans: Nothing special.

26. What should I do to learn astrology from you?

Ans: Come to our retreats and learn.

27. Your advice to astrologers?

Ans: First clear your karma, then you can think of the world. 

She was satisfied with my answers and went away. I never saw her again.

New Life

There are 8 billion people living on earth but none of them is really happy. If they think they are, it is just their delusion. The happiness of man is just a fleeting thrill and consolation. Undoubtedly, everyone is suffering from one or many problems of his own.

Man has been searching for solutions to his problems since ages. Religions, gurus, paths, ideologies, cults are but a few things tried by man but none of them solves his problems totally. Real happiness keeps eluding man always. The more he runs after it, the more it runs away from him.

In fact, they are not the means to happiness.

Everyone on the earth is bound. Man tries to break his bonds, to be free. But his endeavours are futile. He runs madly towards some unknown destination. His run is meaningless. Nobody knows if he will find success in his efforts. But one thing is for sure. In his effort to break free, he goes deeper into more problems. Meanwhile his life ends. This is for sure.

Where is the happiness that man is searching for?

It is in the New Life.

New Life does not mean changing one's religion. It is changing oneself.

New Life does not mean duping oneself and others. It is rising above conciet.

It is not the mad run for money till death but stopping your run after you earn what is enough for your reasonalbly good life.

It is not blingly following blind gurus but opening your eyes and living like a real and free man.

New Life means living your life as a totally free being who has no bonds whatsoever.

This is the way of Panchawati.

Meher Baba started New Life in 1949 and ended it in 1952. He said it is eternal and many will come in future who will live it.

Speaking about New Life, he said,

'This New Life is endless, and even after my physical death it will be kept alive by those who live the life of complete renunciation of falsehood, lies, hatred, anger, greed and lust; They do no harm to anyone, do no backbiting, do not seek material possessions or power, who accept no homage, neither covet honor nor shun disgrace, and fear no one and nothing; by those who rely wholly and solely on God, and who love God purely for the sake of loving; do not expect any spiritual or material reward; who do not let go the hand of Truth, and who, without being upset by calamities, bravely and wholeheartedly face all hardships with one hundred percent cheerfulness, and give no importance to caste, creed and religious ceremonies. This New Life will live by itself eternally, even if there is no one to live it.'.

There are two simple rules to be followed in New Life.

1. Total helplessness
2. Total hopelessness

New Life has been in India's soul since ages. Meher Baba did not start it, he just coined the new name.

There were many who lived the New Life before and after Meher Baba. The sages and seekers of olden days lived it. In the modern era, the direct devotees of Sri Ramakrishna lived it. There was never a time, when India was without such people. That is the greatness of this land.

In Panchawati, we are doing the same now.

There are some in Panchawati who are living this New Life silently. Now it is time for expansion. It is time to show to the world what I have been saying for the past ten years.

In another two days, from 1 March 2023, the New Life is going to start in full swing.

Tuesday 21 February 2023

Yehovah or Allah, who is stronger?

Today I got up early from my bed, with a haunting morning doubt.

Between Allah and Yehovah who is stronger? was the great doubt I had.

Usually, I clear all my doubts, not by looking at the Internet, but by asking karna pisachi, the 'all knowing goblin' a tantrc hobgoblin which answers all your doubts if you know how to contact it.

My doubt was a genuine one.

Syria and Turkiye did not fully wake up from the last earthquke, before being hit by another quake yesterday. This time about 300 people were injured. Seems there are no people left over there to get freshly injured in quakes.

Meanwhile, karna pisachi answered my doubt, 'Undoutedly, Yehovah is stronger'

'Explain', I demanded.

The goblin laughed.

'Very simple. Syria and Turkiye pray to Allah, while Israel prays Yehovah. We know Syria has been fighting Israel for a long time. So, there is a clear war going on between Allah and Yehovah. There are repeated earthquakes on Allah side. What does this mean? Yehovah is winning and Allah is losing. As simple as that', the goblin answered.

I was surprised to listen to her strange logic. 

'Oh. Is it? Then, Pakistan has defaulted and became a beggar country. Very soon, there will be civil war over there and it may split into four countries. It also prays to Allah very devotedly. Then why Allah is not saving Pakistan?' I asked it naively.

'I think you are suffering from senile dementia. What is the problem in understanding it? Allah is in distress in Syria and Turkiye, bombarded by earthquakes and yesterday's missile from Israel. How can he turn around to save Pakistan? Can't he have a little breathing space?' It shouted at me angrily.

'So, you say, among the two. Yehovah is stronger?' I asked again.

'Without any doubt. You see, Yehovah is the oldest of all. Allah, Jesus everyone came after him. So, he is undoubtedly the oldest and the strongest' it said firmly.

I understood one thing instantly.

Humans will do well to forsake all their religions and start praying to Yehovah immediately, because he is the strongest of all gods.

'Do you want everyone to be converted to Judaism?' I asked it again.

She became terribly angry with me.

'Into the bath room, now' it shouted pointing its finger to the bath room.

I got up from by bed and ran into the bath room.

Holy books or reality, which is right?

Yesterday was a Sunday and also a New Moon. And there was an earthquake in AP and Telangana states of India. The epicenter was in Suryapet District. It was a 3.0 quake, not a big thing. But the Astro sutra is proved again.

Everytime, a quake happens either in Full Moon or New Moon shadow. It proves that there is a hidden connection between Moon phases and earthquakes. There has been ample of statistical evidence to prove this.

However, let me point out the religious angle of this. 

According to the Bible and Quran, earthquakes and other natural calamities occur when sin increases on earth beyond a certain proportion. What is sin? Alcohol, gambling and sex are the prime sins, as per these two books. According to Bible (Genesis 19:24-25), God destroyed the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah by raining Sulphur and fire on them, because the people of the two cities were steeped in sinful activities.

Quran says that Allah destroyed the houses of people who plotted against Him. It was also said that when sin grows on earth, Allah sends natural calamities as  punishment.

Consider the following reference from Quran.

'Some of the earlier people plotted. But Allah destroyed the foundation of their houses. Their roofs fell upon them. Suffering swallowed them from all sides'

(Sura Annahul:26)

'We punished each man according to his sin. On some (like Loth) we did send rain of stones. On some (like Tamud) we have sent terrible cries. Some were swallowed by earth. Some (like Noah and Pharoah) we drowned in waters. Allah did not do injustice to them, they did injustice to themselves'.

(Sura Al Ankabuth:40)

From the above it seems that people of Syria and Turkey are steeped in sin. But they are very god fearing people. Then how come earthquake striked them?

Similarly, yesterday's quake proves that the two Telugu states are steeped in sin, though in a small measure, because the quake was less severe.

If what Bible and Quran says is correct, then Syria, Turkey and the two Telugu states of India are sinners. If these places and people are innocent, then Bible and Quran are wrong.

How can Allah send earthquake to Syria and Turkey where the majority of people are devout Muslims who do Namaz five times a day?

Similarly, how could earthquake hit Talangana where Owaisi is working day and night to protect Islam? And in AP, where the CM is from a staunch Christian family?

Either the two holy books are correct or reality is correct, both cannot be correct at the same time.

How to solve this riddle?

Manu, Om and Allah

Last week, while speaking in the meeting of Jamait E Islami at Ramlila Maidan, Moulana Arshad Madani made many controversial remarks about Manu, Sanatana Dharma and Islam. We strongly oppose his views because they are far from truth. Let me deal with his remarks one by one.

1. Manu and Adam  are one and the same

Our reply: Manu was an ancient king who ruled over the Indian sub continent and gave his Dharma Shastra to the world. In contrast, Adam was a forest man who never even knew how to cover himself up with a dress. How can both be the same person? 

2. Manu worshipped Om

Our reply: Manu chanted Gayatri Mantra and used to give arghya to the Sun God. He was the follower of Vedic tradition. Because Om is the sound symbol of God, we accept your contention that Manu worshipped Om.

3. Om and Allah are the same

Our reply: Omkar Upasana has been in vogue in India for the past 12,000 years. Allah was created by Mohammad in 7th century CE. How can both be the same? Even if they are one and the same, why should Om be again renamed as Allah? According to your argument, you have to worship Om which is clearly the oldest of the two.

4. Manu worshipped Allah

Our reply: How can Manu, who was older to Allah by atleast 11,000 years, worship Allah who is a later creation? Manu never knew Allah and never used the word Allah anywhere in his Dharma Shastra.

5. India is the birthplace of Islam because Hazrat Adam was born in India.

Our reply: Firstly, how did the forest rustic Adam become Hazrat? Secondly, if Adam was born in India, why he was never mentioned in Indian scriptures by that name?

6. India is the motherland of Muslims.

Our reply: Islam was born in Arabia. How could India be the birthplace of Islam? If it was so, why Pakistan was created? Why all the Muslims who voted for creation of Pakistan never totally migrated to Pakistan but some of them chose to remain here? Whose plan was this?

7. Islam is the greatest of all religions.

Our reply: Only Sanatana Dharma or Hinduism is the greatest of all because it accepts all religions as valid paths to the same God. How can Islam, which hates all the other religions and creates violence everywhere be the greatest?

Landed in India - Our future schedule

After a stay of nearly six months in USA, I returned to India yesterday. I will stay at Hyderabad for a few days and will relocate to our Ashram.

Then will start a journey of many events viz., deeper sadhana, writing books, conducting retreats, teaching, visiting holy places of India and spreading the eternal religion of Hinduism.

Our Ashram retreats will consist of the following.

1. Astrology Retreats: My Astro analysis methods which were developed from tireless research of 30 years will be taught. By learning this method, you will become a sage like astrologer. You will understand how shallow the social media astrology is. You will be able to reform your own life and correct that of others.

2. Martial Arts Retreats: My martial arts method which I have developed from the past 40 years research and practice will be taught. You will become fearless, extremely fit and caring by learning this method.

3. Alternative Medicine Retreats: You will be able to treat your family and yourself in a comprehensie way. Our healthy life style and our health sutras will be taught. 

4. Dharma Retreats:  Hindu religion or Sanatana Dharma will be taught in its truest sense, synthesising its different schools and their sub schools and removing the confusions that exist among them. You will be able to understand the real Hindu religion in a broader and deeper way, very clearly. You will also be able to repulse the bad propaganda or other religions against it easily. This knowledge will make you protect yourself from false gurus.

5. Sadhana Retreats: My personal sadhana method which encompasses the physical, pranic and mind related techniques of Yoga and Vedanta will be taught. This improves your health, life energy and gives you unbelievable meditative capacity. It is a compendium of all esoteric sadhana practices available in Hindu religion.

6. Higher Tantra will be taught to the eligible seekers.

All these are absolutely FREE.

We dont ask about anybody's caste because it has no value in our Ashram. We are not concerned whether you are rich or poor or what is your social status. The only qualifications you need to join us are - sincerity, pure mind and a thirst for real spiritual enlightenment.

We have no connection with politics. But we support any political party which supports Hindu religion.

The aim of our Ashram is to teach the real Hindu religion which is far above the concepts of caste or creed. This we do by imparting the theory as well as teaching the practical sadhana methods of Yoga and Vedanta. We strive to awake the Indian society into real spiritual heights and to promote patriotism in our people.
