Can Ketu Bring Fame, Wealth?

Written by: Acharya Addittya Tamhankar • July 2, 2021

For Ketu – Fame is Foolish. For Jesus – Fame is useless. For Buddha – Fame is a nuisance. But who is willing to listen to the truth? Prophet Muhammed never was interested in Fame.

The divine masters rejoice in their Aloneness. Ketu represents Aloneness. Aloneness is NOT behind FAME. It is a different story if FAME follows aloneness – but ALONENESS never is behind FAME. KETU is never behind Fame.

Only a man who can rejoice in ALONENESS can understand LOVE.

The First Lesson Of Love Is To Learn How To Be Alone. -Osho

Only a man who find his BLISS in ALONENESS can understand LIFE.

Ketu understands Life. A Yogi understands Life – through Yogic practice – one can understand life.

The divine master – the real Yogi does Love – but their love is detached and because it is detached – it has a certain fragrance, a certain depth.

KETU represents Detachment.

“Attachment is the strongest block to realization.” – Neem Karoli Baba

The divine masters find their bliss when there is absolute no greed no quest for money – Ketu represents absolute disinterest in Money or Sex or Fame. KETU IS SIMPLY HAPPY TO BE – LIKE A HEALER – a REFINED KETU (YOGI) continues with his Journey from one place to the other – from one village to the other – HE moves but he moves in his own bliss, his own peace.

The place/territory that BUDDHA moved along came to be known as BIHAR. It is an outcome of two words – BUDDHA & VIHAR – VIHAR means ‘going around’ and so the territory or province in which Buddha moved around came to be known as BIHAR. All that Buddha talks about is India, and by India he meant only Bihar, because he had never gone anywhere else during his lifetime. BIHAR means TOUR – during his lifetime, BUDDHA toured only in that area – that’s why the name became BIHAR. In short – BIHAR means BUDDHA’s tour area.

But the greatest irony is that the people of BIHAR never accepted BUDDHA wholeheartedly – they condemned him, the Brahmins or the Pandas ridiculed his teachings – and so BUDDHA spends his whole life in the land of BIHAR – travelling to many villages and towns of BIHAR – for 40 years he walked around – shared such a wealth of wisdom – so much of love – so much affection – how beautiful this man must be – but that is how this human world is – when the MASTER is on the physical plane – the world never realize HIS worth – and then when his body dies – when he leaves this human world – people start realizing – start building statues and temples and shrines!

It is the greatest irony of this human world that the state that condemned Buddha was later named after HIM – in HIS remembrance!

“The whole of Bihar condemned him. Now the name Bihar is because of him because he walked there. Bihar means: where Buddha walks.” – Osho

Where BUDDHA walks! Where KETU walks! And what a beautiful man – BUDDHA was.

The only beautiful man who once walked on this planet – and his name was – Gautama Buddha.

Mohan asked “ What was so significant about Gautama Buddha that makes HIM so special – so lovable – so divine – so precious than the entire divinity put together?

Looking into Mohan’s eyes – I said “ Buddha was the only one – a man after many centuries who came to help us all realize that what we seek on the outside – is WITHIN. Buddha showed us the way – he was the only one who helped us to realize that RELIGION begins only when you start TURNING INWARD.”

KETU exactly is what BUDDHA have been saying all his life – and that is – TO TURN INWARD!

And all my close followers and readers are now well aware of the fact that KETU is the WAY – that only KETU can help you to TURN INWARD – MEDITATION is possible only when you have the blessings of SHRI KETU.

And so FAME has nothing to do with KETU – because KETU is NOT interested in wasting time by focusing on the outside – KETU is deeply interested in FOCUSING WITHIN. KETU is the wise energy that helps you realize that FAME IS FOOLISH – FAME cannot help you GROW INSIDE OUT. KETU is that divine energy that lets you realize that FAME, POWER, MONEY, SEX, PLEASURES is NOT the answer that can help you attain the lasting happiness that you seek.

“I hope everybody could get rich and famous and will have everything they ever dreamed of, so they will know that it’s not the answer.” – Jim Carrey

The questioner is looking for FAME. I hope he gets what he wishes for. In fact I hope that all of you get what you wish for. Just so that at the end of your life – IF YOU BECOME AWARE – IF by any chance you start turning inward – you start meditating – than you would realize – that Its Not the Answer.

But people don’t listen. And they will not because they are destined to go through a certain suite of experiences – until they WAKE UP – until they SELF REALIZE.

There was a young man. He must be like Mohan. Always eager to seek the master. Always in search of a master. And so one fine day – he sets out in search of a real master – a true master. Just outside his village – he find an old man sitting beneath a tree. And he comes to the old man and says “ I am looking for a real master – can you tell me to which direction should I move on? Right or Left?”

The old man was engrossed in his bliss, engrossed in his meditation – his eyes look different – there was a certain grace, and there was so much love in his whole being – looking at the young man, he smiled and said “ Beta – you go towards the right direction….and take care of yourself.”

The young man thanked the old man and set out on his journey – journey to search the master – the real master. And he spent 20 years in searching for the master – but all he found was FAKE masters – FAKE Babas – FAKE Saints – and so finally with frustration he decided to go back to his village.

On his way back – he again came across the same tree – the same old man – and the old man was in his own bliss, seated beneath the same tree – and suddenly the man’s heart moved…..his eyes started flowing with tears – he could NOW realize that – THIS OLD MAN – is my Master – the man rushed, he was running – he was crying – his whole being was shaken – he ran and ran and he came and he fell upon the old man’s feet and he said “ MASTER………….master…master…..”

And the Old man raised him up and said “ Raghu – how long you made me wait….I have been waiting 20 years for you….”

Raghu – was that young man’s name. Raghu said “ You know my name…..you know everything than why you NEVER told me when I met you for the very first time and asked you for direction to seek the master??”

The old man – the divine master smiled and said “ One has to REALIZE by HIS own awareness – it is okay that it took 20 years for you to self realize that I am your Master – I have been waiting for you – 20 years you were looking for the master – and here I was waiting for my Raghu – and see now you have arrived.”

Raghu kissed the hands of the Master and said “But all those 20 years were wasted….”

The Master said “ You are wrong. Those 20 years have not been wasted – those 20 years enabled you to realize what is FAKE – to realize how shallow this human world is – those 20 years brought you to a stage where you COULD differentiate between what is REAL and what is NOT – so how can you say that those 20 years were wasted?”

For everything there is a certain PROCESS through which each one of you has to go through. You may think that the PROCESS was useless – but GOD knows what HE is doing with your life – it is through HIS PROCESS that you evolve – you mature – you self realize – this is how it happens- this is the way of its happening!

It took 20 years for Raghu to realize – who his master is! It may take 50 years for some of you and it may take just 5 minutes for some of you – it all depends on your SELF AWARENESS – the greater the awareness – the greater is the SELF REALIZATION OF the TRUTH.

And KETU brings this SELF REALIZATION.

RAHU makes you go round and round and round – until you start coming back to the source – the master – until you realize that what you had been seeking – was always within you – and not anywhere else!

RAHU will give you FAME – and this FAME will then take away the peace, the joy, the bliss away from you.

KETU will pull you away from FAME – and then once you are in your own secluded place – you can meditate – you can focus within – there is no disturbances – there is no greed that can distract you – there are no temptation that can stop you from meditating and rejoicing in your bliss.

FAME needs extrovert nature – the very basic example of extrovert nature is that of a Journalist. Only when you are loaded with RAHU that you can become a GOOD JOURNALIST. Reporting – NEWS – MEDIA – this all is a perfect place that drives FAME – and it all comes under the influence of RAHU.

This AGE is of RAHU and so MEDIA is very powerful. JOURNALISTS are more empowered than Policemen! They can cause much more harm to you than anybody – that is how the MEDIA is powerful – the POLITICS (SATURN) of today is DRIVEN by the empowered MEDIA (RAHU).

KETU is a simple man. He is BUDDHA, He is Jesus, He is Muhammad – He is Mahavira – He is all that what MEDITATION is – He is all that what spirituality is – and HE is least interested in the affairs of RAHU – of FAME – of WEALTH – of SEX – of Pleasures.

And yet HE is always found to be happy – in his bliss – in his eternal joy, in his eternal peace.

“If you do not find peace within, you will not find it anywhere else. The Goal of Life is the attainment of Peace and not the achievement of power, name, fame and wealth.” – Sivananda

Ketu gives you Peace. KETU gives you Detachment. KETU ENABLES YOU TO HEAL YOURSELF.

So KETU has absolutely nothing to do when it comes to bringing Fame and Wealth to you. But KETU has a lot to do when it comes to Healing yourself – because it is only when you can heal yourself that you can heal Others! Ketu has lot do when it comes to bringing peace to your heart. Joy to your heart. So YES – KETU has absolutely no role when it comes to giving you Fame and Wealth – BUT KETU can give you those wonderful experiences and journeys that FAME AND WEALTH CANNOT GIVE YOU!

KETU is MEDITATION. And Meditation gives you NOTHING – and yet you are blessed with EVERYTHING!

Buddha was asked, “What have you gained from Meditation?” Buddha replied ” Nothing. However, let me tell you what I have lost: Anger, Anxiety, Depression, Insecurity, Fear of Old Age and Death.”

Unless you become EMPTY – how can you be filled with the DIVINE? KETU enables the coming of this EMPTINESS!

The inner emptiness is the door to God. – Rajneesh

Emptiness is everything. The Ending is the beginning.

Form is Emptiness. Emptiness is Form states the Heart Sutra – one of the best known ancient Buddhist texts. The essence of all things is Emptiness – Nothingness – and KETU represents the state of Emptiness – the state of Nothingness.

“Knock. And He’ll open the door Vanish. And He’ll make you shine like the sun Fall, And He’ll raise you to the heavens Become nothing. And He’ll turn you into everything.” – Jalaluddin Mevlana Rumi – عولوم

To meditate is to become NOTHING. It is only when you become a NOBODY that GOD can come to you – LOVE can come to you. If you remain – ‘I am SOMEBODY’ – than Love cannot be experienced in its true sense and God cannot be experienced in its true form.

It is only when you DROP your EGO – you DROP the idea and the illusions that ‘I AM SOMEBODY’ (Rahu energies) – that you can truly realize the energy of KETU – the energy of the divine source.

Evolved souls can benefit themselves through KETU. But souls who are still caught in many temptations – suffer at the hands of KETU. Because KETU wants you to SLOW DOWN, to SIT, to Meditate, to LET GO,to FORGIVE, to DETACH – but a common soul cannot understand the language of KETU. Buddha spends his whole life in helping people to REMEMBER this forgotten language – the language of meditation – the language of Ketu.

HIS last word before his DEATH was SAMMASTI – which means “REMEMBER”. Just REMEMBER your inner space – your inner peace.

“There is nothing to achieve, and there is nothing to become. You are already that which you have been seeking in all your lives in different ways, on different paths. But you have never looked inward. Look in. And whenever you have time, you know the path. Just go again and again to the inner space so that your fear of disappearing is dropped, you start enjoying being nobody, and you start REMEMBERING the forgotton language.” – Osho

But this Truth – not everyone can realize. This language – not everyone can understand. Some of my close followers can but the majority cannot. And so this answer may be collapsed but as long as it remains it can benefit a few.

There are men and women – who want to be spiritual but who also want to become a millionaire. And this is how you all mess up with your life. You either be on this Side or you either be on that Side. You either be on the side of RAHU – OR – you either be on the side of KETU. When you try to find a middle-ground – you end up with absolute disaster!

You either be CONTENT with what you have or you remain a GREEDY man.

And it is perfectly fine to be GREEDY – every man goes through this process – those who remain ‘asleep’ die in ignorance – those who ‘awake’ – become wise!

So it is OKAY if you are GREEDY – a few more hundred lives will come your way – a few million more sufferings – more miseries – more painful experiences.

It is only when are HIT HARD that you WAKE UP. It is only when you DO TOO MUCH – that you realize your foolishness – so being greedy is a process – through every man and every woman goes through – what MAKES THE DIFFERENCE though is – that NOT every man and every woman WAKE UP – they continue to live in utter ignorance – leading them to more RAHU and RAHU and RAHU – until a day comes when you realize that it is TIME to turn inwards – and that’s KETU!

Turning inwards – meditating is KETU.

So whenever someone comes to me – with a desire to become a Millionare, to rise to the TOP – to have more and more power – I wish him luck. Let him Go – Let him be Ambitious – because a DAY WILL COME when such a person will realize that AMBITION is NOT PURE NECTAR but PURE POISON.

But this REALIZATION has to come from within yourself.

It is said that Alexander, the Great was too ambitious by nature. Diogenes the divine saint had said to him “ Enough. Now come and relax with me.Just RELAX. You have conquered ENOUGH. ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Now come back Alexander – come back.”

But Alexander was fired up with AMBITION – just like many of you. He said “ Master I will come – but only WHEN I WILL CONQUER the WHOLE WORLD.”

Diogenes had looked at him and said “ Nobody comes back – because this AMBITION NEVER ENDS.”

But Alexander won’t listen. Who wants to listen? Everybody comes with a face to listen – but when the TRUTH comes – they are not willing to FACE – they go back.

Alexander also had to go back to war. HIS AMBITION won’t let him REST in PEACE – until a day came when he died and his body was kept to REST in PEACE.

Neither the whole world was conquered, nor the world within was realized. And if anybody would ask me – than I would say again and again and again that Alexander died as a poor man – an utterly poor man.

AMBITION is a ‘BOTTLE’ of POSION but whose Label says “It is PURE NECTAR”.

This AMBITION won’t let you all rest in peace – you want to run and run and run behind FAME, POWER, MONEY and when Diogenes asks you to come back – you all give the same reason that Alexander had given – he had said “ I will come back – when I am done with my AMBITION – with my desires.”

But he never was able to ‘comeback’ – and that is what happens with every man and woman who is fired up with Ambition. This Ambition is RAHU. And RAHU ensures that you never settle – you continue to run and run and run – until you drop down – taken to the Graveyard and a nice label is placed on your Grave – that says “Rest in Peace.”

And this is the greatest JOKE of human life – when you are ALIVE – you are not in Peace – nobody tells you to take rest – but when you are gone – when you are dead – People place a very nicely decorated label on your grave – ‘Rest in Peace.’!

The TRUTH is – the FACT is that AMBITION never ends – DESIRES never end – after one ambition is achieved – another stands before you – after one desire is fulfilled – a new desire is born – and you are always standing in queue – the queue just never ends!

And the queue will end – only when the DESIRES will be dropped – when AMBITION will be curbed – only then peace is possible, only then joy is possible and this is what KETU is saying – but a RAHU man or woman cannot understand – they continue to ‘debate’ – and debates don’t bring forth the TRUTH. Meditations do.

So come,come you all and let us meditate. Those who are wishing for FAME – let them have it. Those who are wishing for Money – let them have it. Those who are wishing for SEXUAL PLEASURES – let them have it. Those who are wishing for POWER – let them have it – AND those who are wishing for NOTHING SPECIFIC but HIS LOVE and GRACE – only those come with me and sit down and meditate.

The world of RAHU operates at one End.

The world of KETU operates at the other End.

Life begins with RAHU – Birth comes because of RAHU (desires) and Death comes because of KETU – but THIS DEATH is NOT PHYSICAL DEATH – this DEATH is of all your illusions that RAHU creates – it is only when the MASK OF RAHU is dropped that you are REBORN – but to REBORN – DEATH is necessary – this DEATH is the bridge towards the DIVINE TRUTH – the DIVINE BLISS – and therefore Jesus says to Nicodemus that to experience TRUTH – GOD – LOVE – you have to REBORN. And so let this be very clear that ENLIGHTENMENT happens through DEATH – this DEATH is enabled by KETU and if you ask me – then I will say again and again – that such a DEATH is beautiful.

“Enlightenment is a destructive process. It has nothing to do with becoming better or being happier. Enlightenment is the crumbling away of untruth. It’s seeing through the facade of pretense. It’s the complete eradication of everything we imagined to be true.” -Adyashanti

Physical DEATH cannot bring transformation as much as the DEATH of all your illusions that RAHU creates – DEATH of your EGO that your MIND feeds on.

And so such a DEATH comes only to the CHOSEN ONES. Remember – it is GOD who chooses MEN – it is the MASTER who chooses the Disciple.

“GOD CHOOSES FIRST, THEN YOU START FEELING A HUNGER FOR HIM… MEN CAN NOT CHOOSE GOD, IT IS GOD WHO CHOOSES MAN.” – OSHO

Jesus chooses Peter, the fisherman. How beautiful was Peter – an utterly illiterate man – and yet when he meets Jesus for the first time – the very first time and Jesus says “ Follow Me – I will make you the fisher of Men.” – Peter simply drops everything – everything is dropped – no intellectual questions, no logic – no head – just the heart – just the conscious decision and Peter simply decides to Follow Jesus – and whole life changes – everything around him remains the same- but Peter the fisherman is no more the same – he goes on to become one of the most revered Saints of Christian Faith. Peter, the fisherman transforms into Saint Peter – that is the beauty of FAITH, of PATIENCE, of DEVOTION,of LOVE!

But who wants to listen? Millions and millions of souls are born every moment and every moment millions of them leave the human body – this cycle of birth and rebirth continues – and it simply goes on and on and on – until someday – you develop the qualities of PETER – of ARJUNA – of ANANDA – of SARIPUTTA – then then some change is possible – then the repeating PATTERN of your lives after lives CAN change – the question is – are you WILLING TO?

But people are interested in FAME. WEALTH. SEX.MONEY.POWER. Let it be so.

KETU will never interfere. Understand this – this is significant. KETU will never interfere in your affairs – the MASTER will never interfere – the old man never interfered – he never told RAGHU – the TRUTH. HE let Raghu go his way to seek the MASTER – when in reality he himself was his Master! HE never told him the Truth – he let him self-realize the truth and just for that – he waited 20 years beneath the same tree! How beautiful – is the heart of the master – how can I express – I am speechless – I am truly speechless.

The GURU – the master always lets you have your way – that is the way of the True Master – the Real Master.

“If you come to doubt, I’ll give you every reason to doubt. If you come suspicious, I’ll give you every reason to be suspicious. But if you come seeking Love, I’ll show you more love than you’ve ever known.” -His Holiness Mahavatar Babaji

Fame is short-lived. Wealth is short-lived. But what can be experienced for eternal is the BLISS, the JOY, the PEACE – WITHIN and yes – KETU bestows upon you all of this – that is ETERNAL in nature and NOT Short-lived.

Rahu gives all that is short-lived. Ketu gives all that last for eternal.

Understand the difference. Savor the difference.

Life is short. Active years of life are even more short. It is for you all to decide which way you want to go. The Way of Rahu is open. The Way of Ketu is also open. What you choose is what you become. You are always free to make a CHOICE – but you are NEVER free from the consequences of the choice that you make!

My father was a famous man in the late 80s – but his fame was short lived – he died when he was 47. He must have had planned many things – but he wasn’t aware of what is to happen the next moment. Fame is NOT the answer – people think that FAME is the answer to all miseries – but let me tell you all – it is the other way round – FAME brings many miseries than otherwise – it is a HARD TRUTH – very few could resonate with, but I thought why not share the real thing!

And so REAL is what we all have to be. The society is FAKE – filled with a majority of hypocrites – and the more the REAL you will Be – the more you will be condemned, banned, ridiculed. Always remember – Jesus was crucified by this same society – Muhammed was forced to leave Mecca by this same society – Buddha was ridiculed and offended by this same society – Sai Baba was ridiculed and offended by this same society – Sant Dyaneshwar was outcasted by this same society – that’s the way of this human world – if Saints could not get away with it – what to say about you or me.

Many times it happens – people come, then they say “ I understand everything that you are saying – BUT……”

You see – this BUT never goes away – and I can understand this BUTs – the desire is there – the ambition is always there – and that is perfectly fine. After all this human birth is because of certain desires, certain ambitions – I always tell “ Do whatever your heart wish to as long as you don’t cause harm to anybody.”

Follow your Hurt – attain all the Fame and whatever you all have wished for births after births – until a days comes, until a moment comes – when there will be NO Buts – when you will simply be able to say “ I understand.”

That will be the moment of your transformation – that will be the day when you all will be REBORN – that will be the day when the flowering will happen – when the blossoming of your inner being will begin – God will wait for that day – the master will wait for that – the old man waited for 20 long years – the master can always wait – there is absolutely No rush – you all can have your RIDE – until you self-realize – what is TRULY beneficial for your GROWTH – until you all self-realize – WHAT is REAL GROWTH.

The whole story of human life is between the two ends of RAHU and KETU – the journey of birth begins from RAHU (Focusing outside) – and should move towards KETU (Focusing Within)- that is the true sign of progress – that is the true mark of REAL GROWTH.

Jesus says – Nobody is Late – even if you arrive in the ‘evening’ – you will be provided with the same wages (blessings). Even if you are too much caught into the desires (Rahu) AND you have realized lately your foolishness – and you have started turning inwards – overcoming the desires – the temptations – then you are also not late – you are welcome – you will be provided with the same Grace – the same Blessings. In the KINGDOM OF GOD – there is absolutely no discrimination between who is Early and who is Late – as long as you come – as long as you start moving towards the Direction of Ketu – turning inwards – meditating and taking efforts to realize your SELF.

“No one succeeds without effort… Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance” – RAMANA MAHARSHI

KETU encourages you to keep going WITHIN – to meditate – to LOOK WITHIN.

If God comes and ASKS “What you want – RAHU or KETU? FAME or BLISS? LOGIC or LOVE? HEAD or HEART? Ignorance or Consciousness?”

Then what will be your Answer?

Your answer will define your FUTURE. And GOD has been asking you all – the same question – birth after birth….

What you are experiencing this life is based on the ANSWER that you have chosen. If you want to raise the quality of your life – then the ANSWER need to be REVISED – ask yourself and I say it to you all – ask yourself – Are you ready to revise the ANSWER?

The current course of your life can be REVISED only when you are ready to REVISE the ANSWER that you have been giving all your births after births.

The Master appears when the Student is READY says Lao Tzu – the divine master.

Your READINESS is important for you to realize the true essence of life. My sharing, my answer is simply to help you all – Find the right Answer.

Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Ketu Mahadasha: Powerful Remedies

Written by: Acharya Addittya Tamhankar • July 2, 2021

If you cannot understand KETU, you cannot understand LIFE. If you cannot understand a BIRD, you cannot understand the true essence of FREEDOM. Freedom is the ultimate experience of life. There is nothing higher than that. And out of freedom many flowers blossom in you.

Life can be experienced in the true sense only when you are FREE – when you can FLY without a VISA!

Reminds me of a beautiful Hindi Song:

पंछी नदिया पवन के झोंके

कोई सरहद ना इन्हें रोके

सरहदें इन्सानों के लिए हैं

सोचो तुमने और मैने क्या पाया इन्सां हो के

पंछी नदिया पवन के झोंके

कोई सरहद ना इन्हें रोके……

The song lyric simply shares the fact that BIRDS, RIVERS, WIND – nobody can stop them, no border of any country – no boundaries can stop them – they are FREE in the true sense – no borders and no boundaries exist for them but they exist only for humans. Only humans have build walls and set borders – borders are only for humans – then tell me what have we achieved by being a human?

KETU sets your FREE. KETU knows no boundaries and no borders. Because Ketu is all about being in a NO MIND state. Only MIND goes on building walls and borders and limitations and conditions – only mind discriminates- the moment you attain the state of NO MIND – you become the river, the cool breeze, the bird who simply knows nothing of borders, and boundaries – and that is indeed the true FREEDOM. FREEDOM has to well up from within.

“Freedom can only be found within.”

The more you move away from your MIND – the more you would be able to sail smoothly during the KETU Mahadasha. Clinging is the nature of the MIND – and KETU wants you to LET GO!

“letting go is hard, but sometimes Holding on is harder.”

KETU MAHADASHA will become a HELL if and only if you continue to HOLDING ON. ATTACHMENTS is the reason – because of being attached too much to the matters of life (children, wife, husband, sex, love, power, money) – you find it difficult to LET GO – and you continue to HOLDING ON. And the more you continue to HOLDING ON – the more you yourself will invite more miseries during KETU MAHADASHA.

” SOME OF US THINK HOLDING ON MAKES US STRONG, BUT SOMETIMES IT IS LETTING GO.”
-Herman Hesse

When you are willing to LET GO – when you are willing to DROP your MIND, when you are willing to FORGIVE and FORGET – only then KETU MAHADASHA can truly become a wonderful journey that brings much wisdom to your being.

Have you ever observed the trees in the winter – how wisely they LET GO the leaves – all the leaves fall just so that the tree can give birth to absolutely BRAND NEW leaves – that is how you all should be – especially during KETU MAHADASHA – let all the leaves fall – because through this FALL – through this LOSS – a new life is soon going to be born – fresh, and alive!

During the autumn season – the trees LET GO all its leaves and looks like this – complete SHUNYA – ZERO. KETU MAHADASHA is the season of Autumn.

After the AUTUMN season is over – SPRING arrives. And it is in the season of SPRING that the trees start flowering again, giving birth to fresh new green leaves. This season of SPRING is the season when your VENUS MAHADASHA begins! It is the end of AUTUMN (KETU) and the beginning of SPRING (VENUS MAHADASHA)!

But unless all the leaves fall – unless everything is CLEANSED – how can the new leaf – the new fresh flowers arrive??? So you see – that is why KETU MAHADASHA is of immense significance. The whole CLEANSING PROCESS happens only during the AUTUMN season – during the KETU season – during KETU MAHADASHA!

Tears of suffering and struggles are a cleansing shower for the Soul.

Once you have been through the suffering phase during KETU MAHADASHA then the cleansing happens – but this cleansing of body, mind and soul can remain intact only if you take to meditation.

“Let prayer come after meditation. You meditate. Meditation will prepare your heart, it will cleanse you. It will cleanse you of your thoughts, it will throw out all the rubbish that you have been carrying in your head for ages, for lives; it will make space for prayer to happen. Meditation is like preparing the ground for a rosebed: prayer is like a rose. First you have to prepare the ground, you have to remove the weeds, you have to change the soil, you have to throw out all the stones.”
-Osho

The GROUND (FOUNDATION) of a new life – a purified life is prepared only during the KETU MAHADASHA – my fellows – only during KETU MAHADASHA or GURU MAHADASHA. KETU therefore is the RIGHT HAND of GURU – the Protector, the Provider, the Master!

It is always the Master who chooses His Disciple. The Disciple cannot choose the master – it is the master who chooses his disicple – that is how Jesus chooses his 12 Apostles (disciples). That is how Krishna chooses Arjuna. That is how Buddha chooses Mahakasyapa, Ananda, Sarriputta!

In the MAHADASHA of MERCURY you have been too logical – you have been using TOO MUCH OF YOUR HEAD – and by using your HEAD and your LOGIC – you become a ROBOT. You become MECHANICAL. And when you become like a ROBOT – you start losing an opportunity to create meaning of life.

“LIFE IN ITSELF HAS NO MEANING. LIFE IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE MEANING.”
-OSHO

You may earn good money during MERCURY MAHADASHA but you find meaning of life only during KETU MAHADASHA. And KETU Mahadasha comes after Mercury MAHADASHA – that indeed is a beautiful way of GOD – telling you that ENOUGH is ENOUGH – now WAKE UP else it will be too late!

It is only in KETU MAHADASHA that you WAKE UP – you come back to your senses – you become AWARE! And once awareness comes – then you are no more the same – you transform, you evolve – you rise from the ashes – just the way the phoenix rises from ashes!

The phoenix is a beautiful symbolic figure that signify the KETU MAHADASHA through which you RISE – you TRANSFORM – you MATURE – you EVOLVE!

the phoenix In times of doubt and confusion, it symbolizes strength, transformation and renewal. For only from the ashes of who we were, can we rise up to become who we’re to be.

And that is the whole essence of this beautiful transformative period of KETU MAHADASHA my fellows! It is the time when you become what you are supposed to BE – a wise man!

“Wisdom comes alone through suffering.”
-Aeschylus

KETU may bring suffering – but this suffering is a blessing in disguise my fellows – for it is this suffering that eventually transform you into a beautiful wise person!

KETU is the process of attaining freedom – liberation – moksha! And liberation, freedom comes only through DETACHMENT. KETU is just another word for DETACHMENT. KETU is the synonym of DETACHMENT!

“The essence of the Way is detachment.”
Bodhidharma

When a baby is about to come out of the womb – he or she goes through tremendous pain. This phase is painful because the baby has always been clinging to his mother – but now he has to come out of her womb! KETU PERIOD is just like that – the pain is to make you free – make you independent – make you detached. And the moment the doctor CUTS the cord between the baby and the mother – the baby is BORN in the true sense. The real birth time is when the Umbilical Cord is cut and the baby becomes free – independent. The experience of BIRTH happens only when the cord is cut – when the baby is detached from the mother! KETU is DETACHMENT. Through this DETACHMENT a new life begins – and so it is natural that when the Umbilical Cord is cut – you will find it painful but remember this cutting the cord is necessary for you to REBORN!

This is how you feel when you come out of KETU MAHADASHA (the painful process of coming out of the mother’s womb) – but see now everybody is smiling – even the baby knows – he is out and he is free to take the first breath of his or her life! This is the very FIRST physical detachment through which a NEW LIFE begins!

And then comes the SECOND BIRTH – the SPIRITUAL BIRTH – the real detachment when you are chosen by the compassionate benevolent Master! The FIRST BIRTH is through the MOTHER (it is painful) – but through that pain you attain a new life – a physical form. The SECOND BIRTH is through the MASTER (it is painful) – but through that pain you are REBORN – and experience the higher realms of consciousness – the SECOND BIRTH is indeed the SPIRTUAL BIRTH!

“One birth is from mother and father, another birth is from the Guru, the Master. You are again in another womb, a spiritual womb. You have to close accounts with your physical womb completely. You have to drop all hang-overs with your physical birth so you can be totally here now with the master.” – Osho

That is the whole message of KETU – DROP ALL THE HANG-OVERS with your physical birth and just BE WITH THE MASTER. You can do your business or job – but ensure that you remember HIM – ensure that you meditate – ensure that you DO NOT indulge in any corrupt practices – if you follow these simple guidelines then KETU MAHADASHA will be a great transformative period of your life!

But who wants to listen?

People are shallow and they just want more sex, more woman, more money, more power – and when they continue with this way of life then it is natural that they will go through a HELL TIME during KETU MAHADASHA! So it all DEPENDS on YOU – how much evolved your soul is – how much awareness is within you.

KETU is the greatest energy of this UNIVERSE. Enlightenment is possible only through KETU. Because KETU is all about being detached. KETU is all about being spiritual. KETU is all about turning inwards. Even when you do SEX during KETU MAHADASHA – then it is no more just a physical sex – it has more to it than just being physical – it has the purpose of attaining the experience of ONENESS – it is more TANTRA SEX then just a normal sex. TANTRA SEX is very special act. It is an act of sex – where first both partners worship each other – the man worships the woman as a GODDESS. The woman worships the man as GOD and then they make love – intense love through which they attain a prolong orgasm – and since the whole foundation this wonderful act of sex is spiritual – they experience the ONENESS. Remember – KETU NEVER denies SEX. There are millions and millions of men and women who have a strong KETU in 7th house and still they had the maximum sexual pleasures in life! So KETU never denies sex – KETU spiritualizes SEX! When you worship the woman as GODDESS and then have sex with her – when you worship the man as GOD and then have sex with him – then there is NO sexuality in it – there is only LOVE! And when sex happens out of intense LOVE – then there remains no sex but only love!

Always remember – LOVE unites. SEX divides. The word SEX comes from a root which means division. Sex is the root cause of division.

“When you make sex to a person, woman or man, you think it unites you. For a moment it gives you the illusion of unity and then a vast division suddenly comes in. That’s why, after every sex act, a frustration, a depression sets in. One feels that one is so far away from the beloved. Sex divides, and when love goes deeper and deeper and unites more and more, there is no need for sex. Your inner energies can meet without sex, and you live in such a unity.” – Osho

KETU MAHADASHA is the perfect time to experience the much deeper aspects of sex – if you are a married person or in a relationship!

The very myth that SEXUAL relation can unite you more with your partner – is a myth. Sex never unites – only LOVE unites. So if LOVE is there only then your marriage or relationship will last – because a relationship based on SEX always comes with an “expiry date”!

The whole beauty of KETU is that KETU spiritualizes your SEX LIFE. KETU MAHADASHA is a beautiful time to experience the spiritual side of SEX – to transform SEX into something of the BEYOND!

“Love can give a new soul to sex. Then the sex is transfigured, it becomes beautiful; it is no longer sex, it has something of the beyond in it. It has become a bridge.”
-Osho

So the very first lesson you should learn is that KETU during his MAHADASHA will NOT deny you the sexual pleasures you seek – only if there is the essence of LOVE in your act of sex! However if you are just being horny and trying to get in the bed for having sex – then such a sex is ugly and then KETU MAHADASHA will definitely give you much pain in the matters of sex. So it all depends – the whole essence is that KETU wants you to STOP being a ROBOT and bring more ALIVENESS to your being and one becomes ALIVE only when you start becoming SPIRITUAL!

“Spiritual awakening – is becoming awake to the aliveness of this moment.”
-Eckhart Tolle

KETU MAHADASHA therefore is a wonderful period of self-transformation for those who are becoming SPIRITUAL – who are bringing the wonderful essence of spirituality in every act of their life – from SEX to PRAYERS – from TREES to TABLES – from HEAD to HEART!

Did I say HEAD to HEART? Because nothing can explain as beautifully as this phrase – HEAD to HEART!

That is exactly what KETU wants – my fellows – to move from your LOGICAL HEAD to your LOVABLE HEART! What is meditation? It is a journey from HEAD to HEART!

Beautiful.

And so all those men and women — are idiots who defame KETU – it is not KETU who is frustrating you – it is your own idiocy – it is your utter ignorance – it is your unwillingness to listen to what LIFE has to say is what makes you frustrated during KETU MAHADASHA.

“Don`t be angry at life.
It is not life that is frustrating you, it is you who are not listening to life.”
-OSHO Touch your Life

Listening to life means living with ACCEPTANCE – Tathata. Someday you should read my book “Beauty of Acceptance – Tathata”. It is only when you live with Acceptance that you can find peace, and you can progress in life. The more you rebel – the more you are unwilling to ACCEPT – you will remain stuck and a man who remains stuck can NEVER move on.

During KETU MAHADASHA – you have to simply realize the fact that all the BAD KARMA that you had indulged in the past are NOW in for deep cleansing. And cleansing can cause pain – but it is worth it.

“Sometimes God allows us to cry to cleanse our eyes with tears so we can clearly see the good things coming.”

Only a man who can cry – only a woman who can cry – are the most beautiful beings on this planet. Remember – NEVER BE ASHAMED OF YOUR TEARS – because only a man of heart can cry – only his eyes can become wet – tears of self-realization, tears of joy can flow only through such a man’s eyes.

“Never be ashamed of your tears. Be proud that you are still natural. Be proud that you can express the inexpressible through your tears.”
-Osho

Tears are the most valuable treasures.

Reminds me of a beautiful story that moved my heart and brought tears to my eyes – who knows, it may bring tears to your eyes as well!

Uddalak was a great sage, a learned scholar. Many Kings and Queens would send their sons and daughters to attain higher education under the able guidance of Sage Uddalaka.

But one day a very poor boy came and fell at Sage Uddalaka’s feet. He said “My name is Satyakam Jabal and I have come from faraway land just to attain education under your guidance. Please accept me as your disciple.”

Sage Uddalaka asked “Who is your Father? First I need to know your family.”

Satyakam was a simple boy. He said “Many men have used my mother because I was poor. So I don’t know who is my father. All I know is that my name is Satyakam, and my mother’s name is Jabala: so they call me Satyakam Jabal. And as far as the search for truth is concerned – it doesn’t matter who my father is.”

Sage Uddalaka stood up. Never had he seen such a student – so straight, so simple, so pure! Looking into the eyes of Satyakama – Sage Uddalaka said “I will accept you. It does not matter who your father is. What matters is that you are authentic, sincere, unafraid – capable of saying the truth without feeling embarrased. Your mother has given you the right name, Satyakam. Stayakam means one whose only desire is truth. You have beautiful mother, and you will be known as Satyakam Jabal. And the tradition is that only Brahmins can be accepted as disciples. I declare you a Brahmin – because only a Brahmin can have the courage of such truth.”

Those were the most beautiful days – when the GURU used to decide the caste based on the quality of the student!

In a way we all are Shudra – because the state of BRAHMIN comes only when you attain SELF REALIZATION.

Satyakam soon became the most favorite student of Sage Uddalaka. He deserved it – he was so pure so innocent. But after ten years when Satyakama had attained all the knowledge – Sage Uddalaka said “Satyakam – “Whatever I have been telling you is knowledge gathered from the scriptures. It is not my own. I have not experienced it; I have not lived it. I suggest that you go deeper into the forest. I know a man who has realized – he is one of the greatest enlightened master. Go to him. And come back only when you attain self realization. When you go to him – tell him that you have come to know Truth, to know LOVE, to know GOD.”

Satyakam sets out in search of the enlightened master. After many months – he finds the master. And the master is seated beneath the tree and there are many student seated before Him. Satyakam rushes towards the master – and fell upon the master’s feet. Tears of joy started flowing through his eyes – his joy knew no bound. He said to the master “I have come to know the Truth. I have come to know LOVE. I have come to know GOD….”

The master looked into Satyakam’s eyes – and Satyakam’s joy knew no bound. How deep were those eyes, how beautiful, how compassionate, and so much of love was in those eyes – Satyakam was deeply moved. The master said “It is possible, but you are asking something very difficult. There are so many disciples here – they all want more knowledge. They want to know about this and about that. But if you insist that you are not interested in information that you are ready to do anything, that your devotion to truth is total then I will find a way for you.”

Satyakam said “I am ready to sacrifice my life but I cannot go without knowing the truth. Neither can I go to my teacher nor can I go to my mother who has given me the name Satyakam. And my teacher accepted me without knowing whether I was a Brahmin or not, just on the simple grounds that I was truthful. Tell me what has to be done.”

The master said “Take all these cows that you see here, take them into the deep forest. Go as deep as possible, so you don’t come in contact again with any human being. The purpose is that you forget language, words. Live with the cows, take care of the cows, play on your flute, dance – but forget words. And when the cows have grown to the count of one thousand, come back.”

The other disciples could not believe what was happening – because there were just a dozen cows. How long is it going to take for them to become one thousand?

But Stayakam took the cows, went as deep as possible into the forest, beyond human contact, beyond human context. For a few days it was difficult but slowly slowly he got used to it. The cows were his only company. And they are very silent creatures. He played on the flute, he danced alone in the forest; he rested under the trees.

For a few years he continued to count the cows. Then by and by he dropped it, because it seemed impossible that they would become one thousand. And moreover he was forgetting how to count, language was disappearing. Words disappeared; counting could not be saved.

And the story is so enchanting that it is said that cows became worried when they became one thousand, because they wanted to go back home and this man had forgotten how to count. Finally the cows decided, “We have to speak, otherwise this lonely forest is going to become our grave.”

So one day the cows caught hold of him and told him “Listen Satyakam, we are now one thousand and it is time to go back home.”

Satyakam said “I am very grateful to you. If you had not told me…I had even forgotten about home or about returning. Each moment was so tremendously beautiful -so many blessings. In the silence, flowers went on showering. I had forgotten everything. I had no idea why I had come here, who I am. Everything had become an end in itself: playing the flute was enough, resting under the trees was enough, seeing the beautiful cows sitting silently all around was so beautiful. But if you insist, we should return.”

Satyakam embarked on his journey back home. And the disciples of the great master saw him coming with one thousand cows. They reported to the master “We have never believed that he would come back. He is coming and we have counted exactly one thousand cows. He is coming!”

And when he came, he stood there – just in the crowd of cows.

The master said to other disciples “You counted wrong, There are one thousand and one cows; you forgot to count Satyakam! He has moved beyond your world, he has entered into the innocent, the silent, the mysterious. He is not syaing anything, he is just standing there as cows are standing there.”

The great master said “Satyakam, come out. Now you have to go to your other master who sent you here. He is an old man and he must be waiting. Your mother must be waiting.”

And when Satyakam came back to Sage Uddalaka, his first teacher – Uddalaka saw him from the window again and he ran out of the back door because now Satyakam cannot be allowed to touch his feet, now Uddalaka would have to touch Satyakam’s feet. Because Uddalaka was still a scholar, and Satyakam was coming not as a scholar but as one who is awakened.

Sage Uddala escaped from the house – he said to his wife “I cannot face him. I am ashamed of myself. Just tell him that I am dead and he can go now to his mother. Tell him I died remembering him.””

Teachers during those time were of different mettle – they were simply very very beautiful beings, honest fellows.

And so Satyakam went back to his mother. The mother had become very old, but she waited and waited and waited. And when Satyakam came – she could not stop crying – those were the tears of joy – she could see the glow – she could sense the fragrance that lingered around him – she could see that her son has transformed – that he has become a BUDDHA – an enlightened being. Looking at him, she said “You have proved Satyakam, that truth is always victorious. And you have proved that a brahmin is NOT born, a brahmin is a quality to be achieved. Everybody by his birth is a SHUDRA, because everybody’s birth is the same. One has to prove by purifying himself, by crystallizing himself, by becoming centered and enlightened, that he is a brahmin. Just to be born into the family of a brahmin does not make you a brahmin.”

So deep and so true to the core!

The KETU MAHADASHA is the period when you go deep into the forest (meditation) – when you rejoice in your aloneness (detachment) – when you keep good company – SATSANG (holy cows) – when you forget all about counting and calculations and instead devote yourself at the feet of the Lord – it is a period when you become one of those 1000 cows – that is how beautifully the cleansing and the learning and the enlightening is possible during KETU MAHADASHA!

The city JABALPUR is named after SATYAKAM JABAL – a beautiful man, a great master who lived with the cows and became just like a cow – holy, innocent, beautiful, lovable!

RAHUISH men – extrovert people who are continuosly running behind power, money and sex will find KETU MAHADASHA difficult.

But KETUISH men – meditative men, men of heart will find the KETU MAHADASHA a turning point – a transformative period of their life!

It all depends on WHAT YOU ARE FROM WITHIN. The more IGNORANT you are (RAHUISH) the more you will perceive and experience KETU DASHA as some kind of punishment.

And the more AWARE you are the more you will perceive and experience self-growth, self purification, self transformation during KETU MAHADASHA!

Therefore I always say – NEVER ask anyone – “How Canada is or How Australia is?” Because the answer you will get is totally individual based. It is based on how a certain individual perceives – and perception is based on what you are from within! There are many men and women who have evolved and become wise during KETU MAHADASHA and there are many greedy idiots who keep blaming KETU for their own foolishness and ignorance.

During KETU MAHADASHA – :

Scale down your expectations. Frustration comes because of expectations.
Move towards raising the quality of your life by turning inwards. By embarking on the spiritual path.
Learn the lessons of your life and instead of whining and complaining and torturing GOD – be GRATEFUL to GOD – that you were cleansed and that you were the chosen one. Because GOD tests only those whom HE loves.

Remedies during KETU MAHADASHA:

Fasting on Wednesdays. Worshipping Lord Ganesha every Wednesday.
Donating plain notebooks, pen, pencil, to needy students.
Chanting any one of the following mantras every day:

“Aum Gam Ganapataye Namaha”
“Aum Namo Naryanaya”
“Aum Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya Namaha”
“Aum Ram Krishna Hari”
“Sri Ram Jai Ram Jai Jai Ram”

Never wear a CATS EYE gemstone during KETU MAHADASHA unless your KETU is in ASHWINI, MULA or MAGHA Nakshatra.

The only gemstones that you can wear during KETU MAHADASHA are:

Yellow Sapphire – Highly effective stone, positivity, optimism, blessing.
Pink Sapphire – Brings more love, more understanding, more caring to your being.
Pink Topaz – Keeps you going. You become more accommodating. Helps you realize the significance of ACCEPTANCE. A wonderful positive beautiful stone.
Yellow Topaz – Encourages you to stay optimistic, light hearted, helps you to relax and take it easy.
Rose Quartz – Romantic, lovable, caring, nurturing – all these qualities gets a boost when you don a Rose Quartz.
Real Pearl (Moti) – KETU is detachment but if the individual is less evolved soul then he may not understand the higher purpose of KETU and may just go into depression and so to keep the MIND – alive – MOTI or REAL PEARL is necessary. Wear it if you can afford it because real pearls are very expensive. The alternative affordable stone to Real Pearl is Moonstone.

A very important message especially to all my close followers – and the message is simple. Truth is always simple – the message is “During KETU MAHADASHA just focus on purifying your day to day life – by reciting the holy mantras, the shlokas and HANUMAN CHALISA. Nobody is stopping you from earning money as long as your needs are to be addressed. But if you start running behind your WANTS then KETU will take you to task. So remain humble. Remain grounded and recite HANUMAN CHALISA every morning and night before you go to sleep.”

“Every line of the Hanuman Chalisa is a Mahamantra.”
-Neem Karoli Baba

The many beliefs that one should not have sex or should not marry during KETU MAHADASHA is all FAKE. KETU has absolutely NO INTEREST in how many women or men you sleep with. Because the more you become IMMORAL – UNETHICAL – the more you will suffer during the period of BUDDHA (KETU). Have you ever seen a haunted man or women? What happens when you bring them in a holy place of worship – temple or church? They start getting the beating, the pain – NOT because the TEMPLE is at fault but because they are utterly corrupted within! Similarly KETU or BUDDHA MAHADASHA is like a TEMPLE or CHURCH – a holy time – but if you remain unholy and corrupt then it is natural for you to SUFFER!

Always remember – BLACK MAGIC or GHOSTS have been existing in this human world from the very beginning of time. If you want to prevent yourself from the spells of black magic – then you should FOCUS on purifying yourself from within. The more you purify – the more you can overcome black magic spells. It is so simple – but who wants to listen?

And so then comes the many fools – who simply don’t understand the simplicity of life!

I always like simple man. Simple woman. Have you been to Maharashta? Have you read about the WARKARI? WARKARI is a sect initiated by one of the greatest Saint – Sant Dyaneshwar. It is a sect of very common people – farmers, poor farmers, laborers – they are called WARKARI because every year in the month of July – they embark on a 400+ km journey — by foot. The journey begins from a place called ALANDI and ends at PANDHARPUR. These are very simple men and women – nowadays many fake people have also arrived in this sect – but still the essence of the matter is that simplicity is what GOD loves. Only a simple man is a man of heart – he may be poor or rich – but he is very much grounded – he is very much humble and he is very much aware of the truth – that life is a constant change and one should never get depressed in failures and one should never let the EGO get into his head when he is driving at the peak of his career.

GURU uses KETU to help you overcome attachments. To help you cleanse yourself – inside out. And then when you become an evolved being – a wise man – then you start doing good karma and that is how your SATURN (SHANI) starts improving – since SATURN signify the KARMA!

So you see – everything is connected my fellows – Everything is connected – the switch is plugged in – all you need is to press the button – all you need is to switch on the button and then the journey begins – the journey WITHIN.

“The only journey is the journey within.”
-Rainer Maria Rilke

Close your eyes. Stop worrying about this world. And turn inwards. There is a much beautiful world within you – start exploring – close your eyes, fall in love – and stay there.

The message of KETU is “Turn inwards. Let Go” If you can listen and implement this message in your life then and only then you can truly evolve during KETU MAHADASHA – only then you can transform into a beautiful butterfly – only then you can become one from those one thousand and one cows – the way Satyakam became. Then you will dance, then you will play your music, then you will not bother who says what – that is the whole message of Sri Ketu my fellows – Just BE YOURSELF.

Love – to all my readers and followers. Stay positive. Stay optimistic. And Stay blessed.

Always remember – the whole world may abandon you – but the master accepts you – HE never forgets you. You may forget Him but HE will never forget you.

“You can leave me. I won’t leave you. Once I catch hold of you, I don’t let go.” – Neem Karoli Baba

The love of the master is beyond the power of expression. Only those who have become disciples can relate to such a pure love – unconditional love that goes on sharing, loving and caring!

Remember – if you take one step towards the master – the master will take one thousand steps towards you. It is only your longing for the master that will drive him towards you and then you don’t have to search for Him – HE will come in search of YOU!

Buddha says “ I never plan my journeys – my legs start moving towards those who are thirsty for my words, for my love, for my blessings.”

The state of NO MIND is the state of KETU. The state of NO MIND is the state of BUDDHA. Only a Buddha can relate to the beauty of KETU – without KETU there is no enlightenment – the whole humanity owes a BIG TIME to KETU – I prostrate before Sri KETU – may HIS blessings continue to shower upon us.

Jai Sri Ganesha. Jai Guru. 🙏

Pisces Woman Aries Man Match

Written by: Acharya Addittya Tamhankar • July 1, 2021

Venus is LOVE. Venus is not SEX. SEX is MARS.

Signs of Mars are more SEXY. Men who belong to the signs of MARS have more sexual drive then other signs. Aries is a sign of MARS. Pisces is a sign of Jupiter. If you go to any astrologer – he will say – it is okay because both – Jupiter and Mars are friends! Yes they are friends – nobody is denying that – but how good friends they can be when it comes to the actual sexual union? Let it be very clear that the success of any marriage is first based on the degree of the sexual union. The greater the degree of happiness from a fulfilling satisfying sex – the stronger is the bond of marriage.

A Pisces woman is more emotional, more loving, more caring – whereas Aries man is more practical, more sexual, more demanding. So will the marriage between millions of Pisces women and millions of Aries men fail?

The answer is – NO. It is purely based on the society these men and women live in. A conservative society like India – the woman of Aries may not be getting sexual satisfaction from her husband of Pisces – but will she revolt? Obviously no – she simply suppress herself and continues with her life. In a modern society too – who wants trouble of paying alimony by demanding a divorce – so the marriage continues. So it is not that Mars and Jupiter fails – it is just that is not that great – as it should have been! Mars wants more sex, Jupiter wants more guidelines – more validity – more principles – so often the sexual union which is marriage may not be that great. However, we are just discussing about the banks – when we should also look into the branch of these two banks – and that is when we come to the Nakshatra!

Aries – Ashwini (Ketu) Bharani (Venus) Krittika (Sun)

Pisces – Purvabhadrapad (Jupiter) Uttarbhadrapad (Saturn) Revati (Mercury)

Except Krittika (aries) & Uttarabhadrapad (pisces) – Except Bharani & Uttarabhadrapad – Except Revati & Ashwini – the other nakshatra matching is feasible.

So it is not that Aries and Pisces match is totally ruled out – certain nakshatra of these signs can match – the best is Bharani from Aries and Uttarbhadrapad from Pisces.

But the story doesn’t end here – you have to see where and how and what is the condition of these sign lords, nakshatra lords.

And still the story doesn’t end – because then you have to see how the Venus is placed in the charts of the bride and groom. And still the story continues – because there are many more factors to consider. And in spite of considering all the factors – still marriages fail – still divorces trigger – WHY?

Because you missed the most important factor that makes a marriage do well – and that is LOVE! That is FRIENDSHIP. That is UNDERSTANDING.

SO – if the depth of understanding is truly great between you – then just forgot about Aries, and Pisces – and get married! Let not astrology suffocate you – let astrology be your strength – let astrology be your guiding light – when you know the drawback – the defects – you become conscious, you become aware and with your awareness comes the power of healing and with healing comes the road to a successful marriage! It is all within you – astrology is just to make you aware, and I am doing just that – not an inch less and not an inch more – just a small effort to make one aware – and that is what the light (Jyot) of astrologer (Ish (self)) does – I am just a friend who is showing you the ‘way’ – to walk or not to walk – is totally individual based!

Jai Shri Ganesha! Jai Guru!

Astrology Match in Marriage

Written by: Acharya Addittya Tamhankar • July 1, 2021

It is said that ‘marriages are made in heaven’. Now nobody has really gone to heaven to check if this is true. Those who have been divorced would readily disagree and those who are still married – would readily agree. So nobody knows the real thing. And the real thing is – marriages are neither made in heaven nor made in hell – marriages are simply made from a special ingredient called ‘KARMA’!

So there we are – KARMA. In the backdrop of arranged marriage – families run around the town to have a perfect ‘setting’ of horoscopes – everything is ‘perfectly’ matched – and yet this so called perfectly astrologically matched marriages – don’t take much time to transform into painful divorces! And then the best person to blame is the astrologer!

And Love Marriage – here is the most funny part – first they fall in love with each other – THEN – the love-couple start visit astrologers to seek and validate compatibility! So it is like first you have a nice honeymoon and then you start evaluating whether marriage would work for you!

“When you love – you simply love!” – Osho

When it comes to LOVE MARRIAGE – my suggestion to all the lovers – is in one line – When you love – simply love and then don’t get into astrological dry calculations – don’t bring astrology between your love – just go ahead and get married! Going to an astrologer – is like bringing in logic – and Love knows no logic – love ceases to exist the moment you bring logic in between – just be love – just feel love – just live love!

When you love a person – you ACCEPT the total person.

Only those men and women can have HAPPY MARRIAGES – who are not in a relationship – but who are ‘relating’ with each other. Relationship closes you – relating is an ongoing process – everyday you are exploring something new by being together.

“Relationship is Ugly, Relating is beautiful.” – Osho

And to ‘relate’ – first you have to become friends. Love is the starting point – but after a few days of honeymoon – what helps you sustain and enjoy the marriage is you becoming friends.

“Love is not a hallucination, it is a moment of high passion, but one cannot remain on the high moment forever. One has to cool down, come back to earth, move on the plains; that’s where life exists. You can fly high in the sky for a few moments but then you have to come back to earth.Before you come back to the earth create friendship because that will last. So love, love as much as possible, but always remember that love has to give space to friendship.” – Osho

Friendship has a higher quality than love. The next step of love is friendship. Friendship is more unearthly. You simply rejoice in somebody’s being, you celebrate somebody’s being for no reason at all; it is very irrational. Love has a rational quality to it but friendship is very irrational.

Marriages are made – based on the quality of your Karma – and that is why – even if you ‘arrange’ everything in the most perfect way – things can really get ugly – leading you to the door of the court!

Millions and millions of arrange marriages have failed – miserably failed – in spite of having world class ‘arrangements’ – from astrology to all sciences – WHY?

The arranged marriage failed because the insistence was that you should love your wife, you should love your husband. And you could not even conceive how you could love; at the most you could pretend, you could act. But love is not a pretension, is not acting. You cannot do anything. You are absolutely powerless as far as love is concerned. The old idea of arrange marriage has failed. And the new marriage is also failing because the new marriage is simply a reaction to the old marriage. It is not out of understanding, but only out of reaction, revolt – ” love marriage”

Love marriage is failing because people don’t know what love is. You simply see some beautiful face, you see some beautiful body and you think “My God, I am in love!” This love is not going to last, because after two days, seeing the same face for 24 hours a day, you will get bored. The same body. You have explored the whole topography, now there is nothing to explore. Exploring the same geography again and again, you feel like an idiot. What is the point? And so ‘love marriages’ are also failing!

“The reason is that you don’t know how to wait so that love can happen. You have to learn a meditative state of waiting. Then love is not a passion, it is not a desire. Then love is not sexual, then love is a feeling of two hearts beating in the same rhythm.” – Osho

If love arises out of harmony, then only will we know a successful marriage life, a life of fulfillment in which love goes on deepening because it does not depend on anything outer, it depends on something inner, it does not depend on the nose, and the length of the nose; it depends on an inner feeling of two hearts beating in the same rhythm!

So the successful happy long lasting marriages that you are referring to – has nothing to do with astrological match-making – else all marriages that were astro-matched – would have been successful! So please understand this – this is of significance – do NOT let yourself drag into this calculative astrology – when it comes to LOVE – when you LOVE someone – and there is a positive response – Just Go For It! – If you succeed in your marriage – you will become a happy husband, a proud father – and if you do not succeed in marriage – then you would become a successful ‘Marriage Counselor’! :))

So why worry and be so analytic – the moment your heart vibrates with ‘someone’ and the moment there is a ‘music’ between two hearts – you know you have ‘arrived’ to the person of your choice, of your fate – of your life!

So let the voice within you guide you – for the voice of the heart never fails you – let your heart decide – when it comes to ‘Marriage’!

“There is a voice within you that doesn’t use words – Listen!” – Rumi

The functioning of two persons in synchronicity – that is marriage. The merging of two hearts into totality – that is marriage.

Astrology match has nothing to do when it comes to marriage – it is the Heart match that has to do *everything* with marriage – and so let the bells ring – only when your heart rings!

Jai Shri Ganesha! Jai Guru!

Venus in Shatabhisha Nakshatra

Depends on the quality of RAHU in the horoscope. Such a man or woman has out-of-the-way ideas about love, sex, and relationships. An Aquarius venus is a perfect venus that fights for woman empowerment. They rebel – the fight – they win.

“First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.” – Mahatma Gandhi

This is applicable to a VENUS in Aquarius sign – and this become perfectly applicable when Venus is in RAHU’s nakshatra in Aquarius sign! Rahu is against the society norms – and so you see such a person’s romantic relationships way ahead of his or her time!

The fashion and beauty style of venus in Rahu is simply superb and often men and women who are in fashion industry – modelling – designing etc – score high in their fields – it often brings stardom – provided other aspects support.

This Venus – this love – comes by being impressed by the intellectualism factor. A woman with this Venus falls in love with that man who is intellectual – a man falls with that woman who is intellectual. So you see – these all are freaking intellectuals – who simply stress a lot on brains and in the process miss to connect with the heart! They simply miss.

And so this is not as pleasant as Venus in Libra, or as Venus in Pieces. Why Venus is exalted in Pieces? – once a man asked me – when I was traveling through the beautiful BAY Area of San Francisco in the US – and I showed him a photo of the epic book – Ramayana – he was surprised – he said – what this has to do with my question! I said “Please open the book and go to chapter 20 – the story of Shabari!”

It was beautiful day – cool weather – and on the shores of the Sausalito Island – he rested on a bench and went through the chapter of Shabari. Then looking into my eyes – he says “ I am getting it now – I am getting it.”

The love of Shabari is beyond the power of words – how to express it? Language is really poor! This woman spends 20 years – just to have a glimpse of Lord Rama – just to see HIS divine feet – just to see HIS blissful smile! And when Lord Rama comes – he goes directly to the Ashram – where Shabari is staying! Shabari is so much delighted, so much happy – she runs and she bows and with her flowing tears she cleans the feet of Lord Rama! And her love – her devotion is so much – that she tastes every fruit before offering it to Lord Rama! But Laxman confronts – he says to Rama “ How can you eat these fruits that she has already tasted – they are no more pure -” Laxman must be a communist – he must be a man of logic – but Rama was all for Love! Rama says “ Out of love – she is offering these fruits to me – she is tasting it – just to make sure that I get to eat – only the sweet fruits and not the sour ones – that is her love and whosoever offers me with Love – I accept it wholeheartedly!”

This is true love – it is the highest peak of love – where one simply enjoys giving!

“The Ego is happy when it is able to take something. Love is happy when it is able to GIVE something.” – Osho

The love of Venus in Pieces is all about giving, sharing, sacrificing! From the beginning we are told to sacrifice everything – just to exist – just to get all our desires fulfilled – but the Venus in Pieces is more about – the other than about ‘me’! The Venus of Pieces is the height of devotion! When love moves from the base level (Taurus) to the level of intelligence (Libra) and then finally reaches the height of all – devotion (devotion is love over-flowing) then it arrives in Pieces – and that is how the ancient seers have pointed the exalting of point Venus in the sign of Pieces – because here – it is totally purified – so much so – that such a man or woman can simply sacrifice their desires – just so that his or her lover can get what he wish to! The love of Pieces Venus is indeed deep and truly mesmerizing!

Venus exalts in Pieces – the sign of Guru! There is no intellectualism of Rahu or of Mercury – there is only this heart that beats with love, with compassion, with devotion and is willing to sacrifice without thinking even for a second!

“True love is ready to sacrifice.” – Sadhu Vaswani

The love of Aquarius – is more of inclined towards intellectualism – the love of Pieces – is more of inclined towards intelligence.

“Intellectualism is of the MIND – Intelligence is of the HEART.” – Osho

The intelligence of the heart creates poetry in your life, gives dance to your steps, makes your life a joy, a celebration, a festivity, a laughter. It gives you a sense of humor, It makes you capable of love, sharing. And that is true life. The life that is lived from the head is a mechanical life. You can earn much from the head, but you will not live much. Life is of the heart. Life can grow only through the heart.

A person with Venus in Aquarius – with Nakshatra of Rahu – may not understand this – and a person with Venus in Pieces need not understand this – simply because he or she is already following their heart – their life is growing only through their heart!

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Venus-Rahu in 9th for Scorpio

Written by: Acharya Addittya Tamhankar • July 1, 2021

Much has to be done, much has to be experienced, much has to be earned. The word ‘Much more’ is what RAHU is all about!

And so when Venus is seen with the ‘Much more’ – what do you get?

If other aspects are promising – then all that – VENUS – the Virgin Goddess – offers – is pushed to the extremes! You see the word is ‘PUSH’ – and it is of great significance when it comes to RAHU! And so what happens?

Lets see the positive side – at first hand, considering Venus is positively placed for the ascendant followed with multiple beneficial supportive aspects – then you see – all of the positive VENUSIAN qualities ‘pushed’ – the woman is extremely beautiful – the woman is extremely sexy – the woman is extremely attractive – and yes – the woman also has extreme knowledge of the many Romantic Acts ‘Leelas (love-making)’ – the woman also has extreme knowledge of art – such as dancing, singing etc. She has a very magnetic personality – anyone who comes to her – simply is taken aback by this ‘fairy goddess’ – someone who is no less than an ‘Apasara’! And the same is applicable to a man – many women are behind such a man – they just can’t resist – HE appears to be so appealing to them – such a man has many girlfriends – opposite sex is always attracted to such men.

Now if this goes on the negative side – then you are in for many troubles – here – you get trapped in scandals, in many unwanted affairs with opposite sex – often this also leads to defame – it is a conjunction which is like a ‘Sharp Knife’ – you either can cook a very delicious recipe out of it or you start bleeding……profusely!

So one has to be very careful – while judging this togetherness formed between a Virgin Woman (Venus) & and a THUG (RAHU)!

Oh did I say ‘Thug’ – yes – so if this goes towards negative – then you find many women and man – who – through their sexual appeal – make the victim fall to their purpose and then they thug them to the max!

In Cancer sign – a sexy beautiful woman (Venus) feels like she is forcefully admitted in a kindergarten school! What is she going to do there – when she has to be on the floors – dancing with some handsome man! But then – here this woman becomes ‘motherly’ – her love is more of like a mother – who takes care, who cares – who is very emotional – here – Venus is not like a sensual woman who wants good sex – who wants more and more satisfaction in sensual matters – here the Venus is okay – here the Venus understands that her role is less of a sexual partner and more of a motherly love! And so when you have the ‘Much more’ (RAHU) with this motherly Venus – then guess what – you end up with ‘Overly-obsessed caring nature’ – generally the wife of such a person is tooooo caring – so much so that the husband is fed up! But then that is how the love of a CANCER VENUSIAN WOMAN is – very caring – very motherly – but RAHU spoils it – by exagerating – by ‘pushing’ this quality to extreme – and then the husband cannot take it anymore! So if other aspects are NOT supportive – we also see divorce cases in VENUS_RAHU combo.

Venus is not happy to be with RAHU – VENUS RAHU compells the woman or man to have more and more and more sex. Rahu is all but DEMAND! And if the opposite partner – Husband or Wife – is unable to satisfy their sexual demands – then you are in for an extra-marital affair! And so then a new story begins – so you see – VENUS RAHU – is special conjunction – a man or a woman with this combo – should ensure that they are getting married to a person who also has strong Sexual power – and consistency – else often the marriage flops.

Now – coming to your question – the answer is simple – the affect of VENU RAHU in CANCER – is totally based on the placement of the MOON – and the aspects and the stars in which these three reside.

Many top-graded hollywood and bollywood actresses and actors have VENUS-RAHU combo – so it is not something that it *is* bad – you have to respect the ‘nature’ – and nature is not perfect – nature is beautiful – because it is imperfect!

Never fear imperfection – because perfection is a myth! The world is beautiful because it is imperfect – only a mad man goes behind perfection – a wise man chases excellence! Excellence is possible, perfection is just a ‘ego-trip’!

“I love this world because it is imperfect. It is imperfect, and that’s why it is growing; if it was perfect it would have been dead. Growth is possible only if there is imperfection. I would like you to remember again and again, I am imperfect, the whole universe is imperfect, and to love this imperfection, to rejoice in this imperfection is my whole message.” – Osho

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Venus-Mercury in 9th House

Written by: Acharya Addittya Tamhankar • July 1, 2021

This idea of ‘exalted’ planets creates an illusion among many. Do you know – that the most popular personalities – across all walks of life – don’t have much or any exalted planets? Do you know that the wealthy people have no exalted planets in their charts? Do you know that there are millions of people living in slum areas – and yet the *have* exalted planets in their charts?

And this is the greatest tragedy of Astrology in today’s time! It has become a ‘toy’ – and ‘toy’ cannot help you find your answers – you have to come to the real master – the real thing – but who wants to listen to truth?

“Society considers honesty as virtue – but nobody wants to listen to the truth”

I have personally read charts of people in slum areas – they do have exalted planets – I have personally read charts of celebrities – they don’t have exalted planets – neither the wealthy people – neither the politicians! So you see – just having ‘exalted’ planets don’t change your situation.

Exalted planets simply specify the ‘exalted qualities’ of a person. A man maybe living in the slum area – but if he has exalted planets – he is a man of ‘value’ – you see – the word is ‘value’ – the exalt position makes you a good person – such a person ‘exalts’ in certain skill – certain art!

So when you say that you have exalted planet in 3rd – you definitely have a certain skill – that you would excel as you grow – step by step – you will achieve excellence in a specific skill!

And ninth house exalt point – provides you with the necessary quality of achieving higher education – such a man or woman is deeply devoted to a certain deity – is generally very faithful – also signifies a good caring father or parent.

Overall to have an exalted planet is not enough – placements – aspects and the D9 chart matters a lot – if the exalted planet debilitiates in D9 – then much of the quality is lost!

However my suggestion to all my young followers is :

“Get out of your head and get it your heart – celebrate life – sing, dance and let LOVE be the only religion of your life.”

Meditate, love, dance, sing, celebrate here with me, and the ugliness will disappear. Bring something higher into yourself, and the lower will be forgotten. – OSHO

Life is a celebration of moments – astrology can only be of use – if you look at it from a casual way – natural way – astrology prediction is not an ‘Akashwani’ – GOD has been kind enough to provide human beings with the WILL to change their future for better – and to that you simply have to ‘Surrender’ to the almighty – when you let GOD drive your life – you are always sure that you are going to taken care of!

Faith is having the courage to let God have complete control

Astu.Aum.Amen.

Jai Shri Ganesha! Jai Guru!

Venus in 12th House Meaning

Written by: Acharya Addittya Tamhankar • July 1, 2021

Venus is not sex. Venus is pure love – but for reproduction – sex is required – and for sex – you need a certain energy – this energy is Mars! Now look at this – the same energy if is diverted from sex to consciousness – then you see someone like Saul transforming into Saint Paul!

“There is a way to go beyond sex, you can transcend sex – that’s the meaning of – sex to superconsciousness.” – Osho

Venus in 12th can also lead to a man or a woman who has perfected the art of lovemaking (KamaSutra)!

“Sex has to be something not obscene, not condemned, not repressed but immensely respected, because we are born out of sex – it is our very life source.And to condemn the life source is to condemn everything. Sex has to be raised higher and higher to its ultimate peak. And that ultimate peak is samadhi, superconsciousness.” – Osho

But people in India or on a larger context – in Asia – just tremble with the word of ‘sex’! It is as if by just talking about sex – you are doing some kind of sin!

But aren’t we all are born through the act of sexual union? But people are afraid – they won’t speak – at least not in India – who would dare? But one cannot ignore the facts – one has to say things ‘as’ they are! Your condemnation won’t change the facts! You counting the sins of others won’t make you a saint!

So you should understand how Venus in 12th house can lead one to many sexual experiences – good or bad – that is decided by other aspects that influence this position of Venus. There is no doubt that Maharshi Vatsyayana – the man who wrote Kamasutra with many erotic drawings – had mentioned 84 postures for lovemaking! A man with Venus in 12th house is very much interested in the art of love making – it is a truth that nobody is going to tell you – nobody is going to mention in plain text! But I am doing it – so that one understands the depth of a 12th house Venus.

When Venus is placed in 12th – you generally have a girl/woman who has *those* looks that can attract any boy or man. The same is for a man. This 12th Venus gives good looks, good appearance. And then follows the pleasures of bed. Basically this position provides good sexual pleasures to a man or a woman – provided the Venus is not afflicted. If it is afflicted then it will still provide sexual pleasures but via shady ways! So you see – this Venus is not bad – as long as it is not afflicted by Mars. Whenever Mars is found with Venus in the same house – it makes the woman or the man ‘sexy’! The word ‘hot’ and ‘sexy’ is typically reserved for human beings made from the combination of Mar+Venus!

Along with immense sexual pleasures (if other aspects are supportive) this Mar+Venus also leads to some romantic tragedies! Because here the person is not just satisfied with pure love – he or she – wants sex too! And so often in the greed to have more and more – these men or women become cheat – and get into extramarital affairs. People with Venus in 12th along with Mars in 12th are also extremely flirtatious by nature – so Venus in 12th – irrespective of what sign it is placed – remains good for the native as long as it is not joined by Mars! Mars is sex – and Venus is love. Understand this – it is of great significance.

What is marriage? Don’t give me all those poetic dialog that you see in movies – the foremost base of successful marriage is ‘healthy sexual union’ – even the courts would not object to your divorce petition – if you mention that you are unable to get the desired sexual satisfaction out of the said marriage!

So – before you condemn the word ‘sex’ – understand it from all angles – it is not a sin, it is not a crime, it is not something that should be condemned – it is something that should be respected! As long as you are following the law, following the right path – ‘sex’ is simply to be celebrated with utmost love and respect!

Now – a person with Venus in 12th can also transform into a celibate! In to a great saint! Surprised – don’t be – first read this:

One’s attainment to celibacy from birth in this life is based on the experiences of deep coital union in previous lives and on nothing else. There is no other way. If one has had a profound experience of sex in a previous life, the person will be born free of sex in this life; sex will not disturb the person, even in his imagination. If someone thinks one can simply become a born celibate without any deep experience of sex, that person is wrong; one will become insane, not celibate. Those who try to impose celibacy upon themselves only go insane, they reach nowhere. Celibacy cannot be imposed; celibacy evolves out of the experience of sex. It is the result of some profound experience – and the experience is of sex. If that experience can be had even once, the person is released from sex for the unending journey of lifetimes. – Osho

A person who has ‘been there, done that’ – can drop the desire of ‘sex’ and become a true celibate! You see – that is how a 12th house Venus has the divine power to transform a passionate lover into the greatest lover of God – that the world had ever known!

A man who has diabetes – and says “ I have stopped eating sugar” – makes no sense – A man who is not getting any marriage proposals – and says “I have decided to never get married” – makes no sense. But a man who perfectly healthy and yet he says – I have stopped eating sugar. A man who is getting hundred of proposals from the most beautiful girls and yet he is saying I don’t want to get married or have any relationship – is on his way on true celibacy! So only that man or woman can truly surpass the realms of sex – who has been there – done that! And so we also see many great saints and yogi with 12th house Venus!

So you see – astrology is such a deep ocean – but people don’t get it – they don’t want to dive deep – they are happy to live a shallow life – with some tit-bits of shallow knowledge – knowledge that they can digest – knowledge that they can face – they say they want to hear the truth – but they never truly want to follow the truth!

The truth is something that almost nobody wants to hear but everyone wants to know.

A man or a woman with Venus in 12th should definitely practice YOGA – they will progress much faster. Overall – it is a pleasant personality – bubbling – happy – romantic experiences of foreign places – skills of dancing – a poet by heart – so a beautiful person – a lovely person – but conservative societies spoil such a beautiful person – such a person only blossoms in a free environment – love blossoms only when there is absolute freedom – and so such a person should always look towards living in a society that is liberal – open – and tolerant!

Love is a by-product of freedom; it is the overflowing joy of freedom, it is the fragrance of freedom. First the freedom has to be there, then love follows. – Osho

The ultimate state of love is freedom, absolute freedom. And any relationship that destroys freedom is not worthwhile – a Venus 12 man or woman need freedom to blossom, to grow, to achieve their dreams! Any act of possessiveness would simply finish all the possibilities of love.

Love can never possess. Love is giving freedom to the other. Love is an unconditional gift. It is not a bargain. And so a 12th Venus is all for love – and love is not a bargain – it is all about giving, sharing and caring!

Scorpio Ascendant: Pearl Recommendation

Written by: Acharya Addittya Tamhankar • July 1, 2021

When everything is in harmony – why you want to cause a disturbance?

And this is the greatest tragedy of the human world. People want to interfere – with the flow of life. The ‘river’ flows, and nobody has till date found on what decides – who decides the flow of the river – it simply goes on flowing – whosoever comes is welcomed, the river is not bothered about the disturbances, about who is coming to join and who is leaving – it simply rejoices in its flowing……and that is how life should be! A flow, a flux. Let life flow…..

But people won’t listen! Who wants to listen? Everybody is running – just to do something with the flow of his or her life – and that causes much misery – this interference leads to many problems!

The focus should be on wearing gemstones – as less as possible!

But the MIND won’t listen. The MIND is illusive – the MIND creates many illusions – the astrologer you visit is also following his or her mind and you are also following your mind. The result is misery.

Calculative minds can never reach an effective conclusion. A calculative conclusion fails miserably and that is how I come across hundreds of people – just throwing away the gemstones that they (MIND) had thought to be a perfect solution!

A meditative man who understands the language of the stars – can help you with the solution. He is not a calculative man – he is not a Pundit, he is not a scholar – he is not a man who would keep analyzing – he would simply give you the most beautiful gift – the gift of consciousness – the gift of awareness. When awareness comes – no calculations are required – you understand the unspoken language – the language of the heart!

The only lasting beauty is the beauty of the heart.

And whatever comes from the heart – *is* the real solution! But people never reach to their hearts – they simply become the slave of their MIND and the MIND can never let you realize the truth. The MIND is a MONKEY – it will continue to wander – it will continue to make you restless – because the nature of the MIND itself is of being restless!

“The nature of the MIND is to wander. YOU are NOT the Mind.” – Bhagwan Sri Ramana Maharshi

To understand your problem, you have to look within, to find the solution to your problem – you have to look within. No books and no astrologers and no pundits can give you – what you can FIND within yourself! Your MIND has illusions – your HEART has the answers!

Millions and millions of books are written on which gemstone has to be donned – hundreds and hundred of astrologers and pundits are recommending gemstones – and yet nobody knows – what is right for me? You are just following – but I am encouraging you to follow your heart, to dive within and find the answers you have been seeking – but who wants to listen?

In your case – the harmony is existing, there is a music, there is a dance, there is a resonance of your stars – then why you want to wear a pearl? But who wants to listen – the MIND wants something – some stone, some talisman, something has to be there – so then you can RELAX!

But I appeal to all my followers – do not let your MIND interfere – do not become so weak that you cannot survive happily without a GEMSTONE! I want you all – not to just keep wearing gemstones – I would want you all to be more and more meditative – so that a day would come when no gemstone is required – because then you have become a Gem of a person! And that is my only prayer – to help you all – become more and more meditative. Come – let us become more human, more meditative and more loving.

Love deeply, love without jealousy, love blissfully and help each other to be more meditative.

Gemstone, Talisman, Threads – these all are just tools – what activates – these tools is your KARMA. You may have the finest mobile – but if it is not ‘charged’ – not activated – then what is the use – it is as good as dead.

A gemstone is a medium – the quality of your KARMA is the real source of your future. But people have made the ‘medium’ much larger than life! And that is the greatest irony of human life! What should be truly focused on (Karma) – is ignored while what needs minimum attention is enlarged!

What you FOCUS on – GROWS! Focus on correcting your KARMA, focus on turning inwards, focus on raising your ‘self’ to higher altitudes. Love is contagious – what you love is what you become! Love, but love something that takes you to the beyond. Bring something higher into yourself and the lower will be forgotten.

In the AGE of Ignorance (Kali-Yug) – the FACE (RAHU) is sought after – the FACE is ‘plastic’- it is artificial – it is ‘lifeless’ – there is no truth in it – the real truth is within – your true beauty is within – your true fragrance is within you.

And I am here – to help you find the real flowers. You may not find my answers like the many perfect looking plastic flowers – but there is a fragrance to the answer that I am sharing – and you can only feel it when you are flowering – and your ‘flowering’ is only possible when you are meditating!

Nothing matters more than your ‘innermost’ flowering – then there is a music to it, then there is a fragrance to your being – then even if you wear a plain stone – it becomes a great magical stone – the miracle, the magic is within you – once you have it – then every stone that you touch – becomes a miracle! Then there is no negativity – but only positivism. Then there is no place for a ‘NO’ but only for ‘YES’!

Your ‘self’ is much greater than a ‘stone’—focus on the ‘self’! Realize your self-worth. Meditate.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.

Venus in 8th: Gem Remedy

Written by: Acharya Addittya Tamhankar • July 1, 2021

It is a strange world. Man and woman sleep together and when the honeymoon is over they remember the astrologer! Then they rush to the astrologer and ask “ Should we marry? Is it going to last for good? Is it going to bring happiness?”

Now the poor astrologer is wondering what kind of world he is living in! Honeymoon is already over, and now the couple is doubting on whether to JUMP into this legal institution called marriage or not!

And because the questioner has asked about Venus in 8th house – this relating has happened. Otherwise it would have not.

And I appeal to all my followers especially those who are taking keen interest in understanding Astrology that TIMES are changing. The very MEANING of relationships is changing. The very definition of MARRIAGE is changing and so you all have to get your basics reevaluate before you reach to a certain observation.

Marriage has become a ‘Showcase’ – it is NO MORE a symbol of love rather it has become a matter of social status.

Yesterday a young man came – he said : ‘ I am young and I am looking for a girl to marry.’

I said “ Then what is the problem. Almost half of the population is of women – so you should find one for yourself.”

He said “ But I have one expectation…”

I said “ what?”

He looked at me and said “ She must be a virgin.”

I asked him “ From which world have you come? You are asking and expecting the IMPOSSIBLE.”

And my fellow readers and followers- this is the HARD TRUTH of today’s world. To expect something that is outdated is mere stupidity.

The word Virgin is no more found in today’s world. Neither the women and nor the men – they lose their virginity long before they get married. And I am talking in general what is happening around and it is not a myth but the REALITY of today’s Age that you all must Accept.

ACCEPTANCE is the key. My new Upcoming book is exactly on the subject of ACCEPTANCE.

8th Venus. 12th Venus. These are people who are REAL LOVERS. AND let me tell you all – small minds think about virginity – LIBERAL MINDS just dont care about such man made obligations- they are just happy to LOVE…to MELT within each other….LOVE KNOWS NO NO BOUNDARIES…IT IS SIMPLY HAPPY TO BE!

But the pundits will not understand- they will condemn the LOVERS – the Venus 12, the Venus 8 people – they will give long lectures on virginity….I remember one such story and it is interesting….

Once it happened- A High Priest was visiting a Church and all the Nuns were present. The High Priest was very strict about maintaining virginity. It was a different story if he himself had remained virgin. But when all nuns came and the room was packed…he stood up and said “All you Holy Nuns – if you all have maintained your virginity then please stand up.”

Nobody stood up except one nun with a small girl in her lap. The High Priest thanked God that at least one Nun has remained virgin.”

The High priest said to her “ So it is only you who is Virgin.”

The nun said “ No Father, it is not me but my small daughter who is just 1 yrs old. I am standing for her.”

Virginity is nothing but the PLAY OF THE MIND. Religions are compelling people to stay virgin. In reality virginity has nothing to do when it comes to LOVE!

VENUS 8. VENUS 12. They will understand what I am saying. They are wild lovers….they know no BOUNDARIES. Such men and women cannot live in a dominating society. They need FREEDOM. Absolute FREEDOM. LOVE blossoms only in a FREE SOCIETY.

Generally people with Venus in 8th or 12th do well in FREE SOCIETY. Foreign western countries are good for such free love birds!

AND so I don’t know why the questioner wants a remedy for VENUS 8! This is how Ignorance compels people to defame VENUS 8 OR VENUS 12 placements. When in reality it is a wonderful placement for SOULS that have evolved with time.

Having SEX with the person you LOVE is NOT a crime. Understand this and let me repeat again with emphasis on the word LOVE. When there is deep intense LOVE – sex happens without any sexuality in it! But when there is absolutely NO LOVE but just Lust then sexuality comes in picture and it is UGLY.

It is possible that my answer maybe collapsed because people feel uncomfortable to face the Truth. They want to know the truth but hardly are they willing to FACE the truth.

When you love you simply love! Then you must not ask silly questions like “ Are you virgin?”

Once a Venus 12 young man and he must be really silly because he had been through two Passionate relationships and now when he was in love with a new woman – he asked her “ Are you a virgin?”

And the Girl had Venus 8th – she looked into the eyes of the man and asked back “ Are you a virgin?”

So you see – people have crazy expectations when they themselves cannot met those expectations!

Life is a flow. Men meet women and many relationships happen out of love. Women meet men and the melting the merging happens out of love. It is natural. Understand the fact Women are NOT products. And neither are Men. Products have labels – used/unused. You can evaluate products – they are lifeless. BUT never ever do the silly mistake of evaluating PEOPLE the way you evaluate PRODUCTS.

People have emotions. They LOVE. They fall in love. They relate. They melt in each other and that is perfectly humane! Natural.

The idea of Virginity is the idea of a FAKE society. A hypocrite society. LOVE knows no virginity. When you truly love a woman or a man – you would never ask silly questions like “ Are you a virgin?”

When you love, you simply love!

Small minds – intellectualism leads you to such silly questions of virginity and in the process creates many hurdles for you and you never are able to experience love in true sense!

AND so I appeal to all my followers and readers and fellow travelers- when you love – let there be NO question of AGE DIFFERENCE- CASTE DIFFERENCE- SOCIAL STATUS DIFFERENCE.

Love is not for a coward- a man who keeps raising doubts after doubts. Love is for a courageous man – courageous heart that is willing to JUMP into the unknown!

Courage is the LOVE AFFAIR with the UNKNOWN.

Only a man who has courage can LOVE. And Venus 8 is one dimension that provides you with courage to walk on the dangerous PATH OF LOVE!

So VENUS 8 is NOT A DISEASE OR A SETBACK and so when there is absolutely no disease no SETBACK then why would the ‘doctor ‘ prescribe any remedy?

But as mentioned in the very beginning of this answer – it is a strange world. Money has to be earned and without FEAR how will you or anybody churn out money! And so FEAR is instilled- 6th.8th.12th. How much of FEAR is instilled by the means of these 3 houses! FEAR sells faster than FAITH. ADDITTYA TAMHANKAR will be banned because he is emphasizing on FAITH. ON THE TRUTH. ON THE BEAUTY OF LOVE AND DEVOTION. BUT FEAR MAKERS will not be touched because FEAR SELLS FASTER THAN FAITH!

BUT I am all for LOVE. I AM All For all those innocent lovers with VENUS 8TH AND VENUS 12TH – The world may condemn me but how would that change the TRUTH!

And the Truth is simple – Venus 8th is a beautiful placement. Venus 12 is also a beautiful placement. Osho had Venus 8th. And he openly shared the fact that “ I am not a celibate”

TRUTHFUL MEN OR WOMEN always say the facts on face. Because their heart is pure. They don’t live in fantasies and hypocrisies- they understand life more deeply than the others!

Venus 8 is also a great spiritual placement. Sexuality and Spirituality goes hand in hand. Don’t be surprised- because the deeper you can go in sexuality the greater you can rise in spirituality. Ofcourse the sexuality has to be come out of true love and then there is no sex in it but just pure love, pure melting in each other! But this is a very deep statement, a deep subject – don’t just jump on my words – self realize the meaning that lies beneath those words.

A certain intensity has to be there. A certain depth. When your act of sex is intense – then the moment you start moving from being BHOGI(pleasure seeking) to becoming a YOGI – the same intensity the same depth helps you to rise to the higher altitudes!

And so every great YOGI was once a great intense lover – a passionate lover with deep intense sexuality.

Tulsidas. Tulsidas loved his wife a lot. He was a passionate husband. A deep lover. And he had not yet started on his spiritual journey. He was just like any other common man who loved his wife immensely. But one day Tulsidas had to drop his wife at her parents house. Tulsidas could not stay alone for long. After just two nights – he went back to his wife and said “ I want you back. You have stayed for two nights with your parents. Now pack your bags and come back with me.”

Tulsidas’s wife was not a common soul. She looked into the eyes of her husband and said “ Tulsi – if this tremendous passion and love that you have for me – if this same love and passion is directed towards God than imagine how greatly your life can be transformed.”

Those words – yes, those words went so deeply into the heart of Tulisdas that he went back to his home and from that day he never looked back – his deep passion and love was directed towards the higher purpose of life – towards SELF REALIZATION. And then history is witness to the wonderful spiritual transformation of Tulisdas – who went on to become the greatest saint that the world had ever know – Saint Tulsidas. I humbly prostate before his holiness.

The Hanuman Chalisa written by Saint Tulisdas is the most sweetest Holy scriptures and the most effective remedy on all the miseries of life.

NEEM KAROLI BABA – The Baba to whom Steve Jobs of Apple had come all the way from the US to meet and Mark Zuckerberg had mentioned in his interview with PM Modi – such a great Saint and Hanuman Avatar- His holiness Neem Karoli Baba mentions:

“ EVERY SENTENCE OF HANUMAN CHALISA IS A MAHAMANTRA IN ITSELF”

A real picture of His Holiness Neem Karoli Baba.

And so instead of running behind astrologers and black magicians and what not – to all – especially to all my genuine followers and readers- I insist that focus on simple things – the most simple remedies have the greatest solutions that can work wonders in your life!

But who wants to listen? People just want to talk over the phone. People just want to meet me. I tell you and through this answer to all my readers- that is NOT required. Just a response via email. Just my answers on my website or on this forum is enough for a follower or a fellow traveler who is wise enough and who is truly a meditating being!

Avatar Meher Baba for over 20 years never spoke. He had a secretary who would share his divine message. If somebody would come to meet Meher Baba – the Baba would simply write – B L E S S I N G S. And that was all! And yet many of his followers benefited through his written messages!

Talking is required for a soul that is yet to evolve. Evolved souls rejoice in Silence. They get the message and through those messages they continue to evolve.

I would love to see you all evolve in this way. Through deep silence.

“Real communication happens in SILENCE.” – Osho

Let there be more and more Silence in your life and I say it to all my followers. BUT that Silence has to be a BLISSFUL SILENCE. A MEDITATIVE SILENCE.

If you all can understand my sharing than the need to talk with me will never arise! And that is the beauty of all – that is the sign of real progress. Else there are many parrots – but I would love to see you all become Eagles and not just talking parrots.

So come you all – let us overcome all these plays of the monkey MIND that goes on creating illusions about 8th Venus. Or 12th Venus. Every placement is a good placement or becomes a good placement the moment you start turning inwards…the moment you start meditating…the moment you start asking yourself the most important question – WHO AM I?

And the day you all will find the answer – you will never ever fear of any placements whatsoever- then in the true sense the sky (consciousness) is clear and you are ready to fly and experience for the very first time in your life – the real taste of FREEDOM.

Venus 8 is all for love and love blossoms only when there is absolutely NO Possessiveness but absolute FREEDOM.

Jai Shri Ganesha. Jai Guru.
