A rare article of Dr. B. V. Raman on Mars Saturn Conjunction and its effect on Indian Affairs written in 1947 is reproduced here. The recent conjuction and the happenings in India seems to be a reflection of Dr. Raman's masterly analysis. We also teach you Sanskrit through Ramayana and educate you on the not well known Science of Five birds. This apart, we have a host of other articles and features including predictions for your moon sign for the month of October 2012

Give up hate and cultivate compassion

Bhagavan has described the qualities of a true Bhakta in the Bhagavad Gita and everyone must strive to

cultivate them. If one brings flowers, milk as offerings and worships Bhagavan, that alone does not make him a

Bhakta. When the qualities of being a Bhakta are present, the Lord will be pleased even with a simple offering of

a single Bilwa leaf or a Tulasi leaf and bless abundantly. However everyone must make oneself eligible first.

The first quality mentioned for a Bhakta is that he must not hate anyone. A Bhakta would consider everyone to

be his own. Without harbouring hate and anger towards anyone, a Bhakta lives with the attitude of “

” (let all be happy). There is also the prayer - “

” - that everyone live without diseases, let everyone come across his or her welfare and not be subject to

suffering. Our ancestors have passed on such a noble thought. Hence why should we hate anyone? That is why

Sri Adi Shankara Bhagavatpada has said “

” – The same divine Consciousness pervades you and me. So why do you become intolerant and get

angry? Behold the same Atman everywhere and give up the sense of differentiation.

A Bhakta must have the quality of alleviating the suffering of another by rendering assistance. This is what the

Shastras call as – Compassion or dayaa is the desire to remove the suffering of others. Even

the Lord exhibits compassion; for it is only out of compassion that He incarnates to bring about the welfare of

world –

The Lord took a balance, placed "Paropakara" on one scale and "being indifferent" on the other scale, and

realizing that Paropakara is heavier, took the ten incarnations.

May everyone thus understand the importance of cultivating such qualities, strive to cultivate them and attain

Shreyas.

THE SCIENCE OF ASTROLOGY becomes utterly uselessif it does not provide the means to overcome the evil

indications of planets. There is absolutely no fatalism inastrology and the so called inevitable is an ignorant fictionof the half educated brain. The higher the human knowledge,the greater are the chances of material and moral advantagesto be secured. For one to be an astrologer, a thoroughknowledge of astrology and kindred sciences is essential.We have ourselves seen a few imposters, who not knowingeven the fundamentals of Astrology, have been posingthemselves as astrologers and prescribing remedies, andexploiting the public. The chances for such quacks to thrivewell have become more congenial especially after the deathof Prof. B. Suryanarain Rao a great adept in the art ofremedial measures. We warn our readers not to be carriedaway by the lure of advertisements, and become easy preysto merciless exploitation. They must be very careful andsatisfy themselves fully before they enter into any businesswith any so-called specialist in remedial measures orastrology.

Ancient Maharshis were past masters in every branch ofknowledge. Messmer, Swedenburgh, Darwin and Spencerhave but caught the glimpses of the heights of knowledgeattained by Patanjali, Sankara, Vatsayana and Siddhas. TheRishis had solved all problems of life which modern sciencewith the help of its limited knowledge has been endeavouringto solve. It is of course true that astrological science extendsinto deep and far-reaching metaphysical and occult domains,but after all what science does not ? The mathematicalconcepts of Einstein, Eddington and others have crossedthe border already from the domains of fixed form andmaterialistic limitation to so-called fourth dimensionalterritories so that the argument that astrology and theremedial measures prescribed by the ancient sages are largelystill in the realms of the metaphysical and thus not capableof rationalisation is not valid one. The modern scientist hasto depend for his observations on mechanical contrivances.The ancient Maharshis, on the other hand, possessed a muchmore accurate, dependable, and comprehensive instrumentwith which to observe natural phenomena -their ability tofunction in what might be called, to use a modern scientificterm, a fourth dimensional conciousness-Yoga-whichenabled them to note, to measure and to classify all the

facts concerning the universe without the aid of micrometersand telescopes. Their super-consciousness made themaware of and able to comprehend, on the one hand,infinitesimal units of time and space too small to be measuredby the most modern scientific instruments, on the otherhand, vast spans of years and universes-spans of yearsguessed at only by modern geologists in search for the ageof the earth-universes too remote to be found even by thelargest telescope. The ancient Maharshies were nevercontent to observe and catalogue facts; they appliedknowledge to the material and spiritual welfare of man. In alike manner they discovered the various processes to beemployed, which go under the name of remedies, tocounteract the evil indications of planets. What are remedies?Suppose a man abuses another person, an abuse is nothingbut a bit of ill-adjusted form of sound vibration which irritatesthe abused. It is a little bit of air which causes offence byits irregular vibrations and an apology which is also a bit ofair-cures the offence by its well-adjusted form of vibrations.An abase is cured by the Remedy of apology. Similarly takeother instances.

Thermometer gives us the measure of solar heat. If it isvery excessive it will not only act on the physiologico-psychological system of a person, but may also kill him bySun stroke or asphyxia and can we do anything against it?We can understand the degree of heat or the degree of coldby meteorological observations, by various instruments andby our physical and mental feelings. Finding therefore thedegree of heat or cold on any particular day by this sciencewe are able to resort to various mental devices or what wecall discoveries and inventions of men of genius and whatdo they say. The man of science says that a person subjectedto excessive cold or heat will suffer such and such evilresults. The remedy for this will be to remove to such coldor hot places as would neutralise the evil effects of excessiveheat or cold and thus save ourselves from the consequentevils attendent on the climatic conditions. When it is veryhot we hold a nice umbrella; when it is very cold we lightfire and heat ourselves or cover ourselves with blankets soas to keep the cold away. When we want money we mus!

‘et money and that is the remedy for poverty. When we aresuffering from disease the remedy is to introduce such stuffsinto our body which act against such diseases. These

RAMAYANA IS POPULARLY KNOWN as 'AdiKavya' (the first literature). It consists of 24000

verses in 7 Chapters (called Kaandas). It is extremelypopular among Hindus, Buddhists and Jains in Indiaand other countries such as Indonesia, Philippines,Thailand, Burma and Malaysia.

The scripture begins as a dialogue between Sage Valmikiand the celestial saint Narada. Sage Valmiki asksNarada about the ideal being -- Perfection Incarnate -- the person with the noblest qualities ever seen. Naradaproceeds to answer Valmiki with the divine story ofLord Rama -- The Ramayana.

Shatashloki Ramayana (Ramayana in 100 verses) isthe first canto of this monumental epic written in the32-syllable meter called the 'Anushtup'. ShatashlokiRamayana ends with a Phala Shruti narrating the benefitsof chanting and listening to this hymn. His Holiness SriGanapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji, Senior Pontiff ofAvadhoota Datta Peetham has sonorously chanted these100 verses in the audio album "Shata Shloki Ramayana"in the Ragas Mohana, Charukeshi, Shuddha Dhanyasi,Hamsadhwani, Sriraga, Purvikalyani, Peelu, Sallapamand Madhyamavati. This audio album was released in2004 in Datta Yoga Center, Trinidad & Tobago, wherePujya Sri Swamiji installed a massive 85 feet highHanuman in 2003.

In 2009, as per Pujya Swamiji's direction, an artistmade sketches for each of the shlokas. This was madeas a video slideshow and made available at Vimeo sitein October 2011. You can watch this video at http://vimeo.com/30708452. Also included in the video arethe brief inner meanings of each verse in English and itsEnglish transliteration for easy learning.

It will be exciting to note that the Tamils also had anindependent time measure technique and their smallestmeasure of time ‘Thudi’ was equivalent of 13,834,000th

part of a day or 160th part of a second. They appear notto have stopped with Brahmayus but improved the scaleto the Ayus of Vishnu, Rudra, Maheshwara andSadaasiva with a life span of 2.01 x 1033 years, whoseone day is a ‘Thudi’ to ultimate Siva who is the lord ofSanthiadeetakalachakra.

It is not that the entire Yuga theory and the calculativeelements are not undisputed. There are arguments infavour and against many of these contentions. THE

ASTROLOGICAL MAGAZINE of Bangalore carried manymeaningful debates in the past, though no final conclusioncould be arrived at. Controversies apart, we mustremember that the efforts of our ancients in thecomputation of these time-scales is no mean achievementand cannot be dismissed lightly. It will be interesting tonote that the present day scientific estimation of the originof life of 18000 million years compares with the 17280million years of the duration of the four Kalpas elapsed.The scientists hold that the modern the radio metric agedetermination of the earth has a relationship with the Vedictime measurement. If our ancients could, with a highdegree of mathematical precision, compute the correcttotal number of revolutions of the planets around the Sun

in a Mahaayuga of 4.32 million years, their proficiencyin tabulating time, in the micro and macro scales make uswonder whether they had any contrivances to computethat must have failed to reach us down the ages or theyhad any cosmic connection of revelations that overwhelmour comprehension.

Can we go back in Time? Perhaps yes, according to thescientists, if we can travel faster than light. In a senseare not the astronomers, in their observations of stars andgalaxies, going back in time, at least on assumptions?When we see the star Sirius to-day, we are seeing it, as itwas in 2000, because it is 8.3 light years from us.

Then can we go ahead in time? Perhaps yes. Theastrologers who have the ability to foresee the future aredoing so. As the great philosopher Patanjali says a trueYogi can be aware of the past, present and future, anability to travel backward and forward in time, whichperhaps is the very basis for the various astrologicalprinciples, that grow with the past, lead the present andunfold the future.

In the Indian horoscope again,though Mars is in the 10th in Navamsa, he is aspected bythe 10th lord Jupiter while the Navamsa Lagna is highlyafflicted . The Sun here happens to be the 6th lord. Thisaffliction expreses itself by way of secret plots andtreachery directed against the Government. Therefore,no peace is indicated for the entire sub-continent of Indiafor at least another two years. At the time the King gaveassent to the Indian Independence Bill, the 12th degreeof Scorpio was rising in Karachi while the 20th degree ofLeo was on the meridian. Leo is a war-like sign and it ispowerfully aspected by Mars, lord or Lagna and the 6th.Saturn transits this meridian point by about September -October 1947.

About this time the foreign policy of Pakisthan must becarefully watched.

Summing up, we have to observe that India has come andwill be coming under very un-favourable planetaryvibrations indicating trouble within and without. Under theforces of Mars-Saturn conjunction, anything may happenthat might jeopardise the safety and integrity of India. Wehave been quite exhaustive in our analysis with a view to

Astrology neither spreads despondency nor encouragescomplacency. It serves a very useful purpose inrestoring public confidence.

Experience showsthat no amount of proof will convince the scepticwhether he be honest or wilful in his disbelief.

PANCHAPAKSHI SHASTRA CAN ALSO beinterpreted as Biorythms of Natal Moon and is a part

of Vedic Astrology covering the one’s recurring cycles ofbiological processes thought to affect a person’s emotional,intellectual and physical activities. This ‘Science of FiveBirds’ also studies any periodic change in the behaviouror physiology of an organism.

This system was propounded by ancient Tamil Siddhasaints. It is based on natural laws of the five primaryelements (Pancha Mahabhutas) combined with AstroStellar force of each individual. This can be successfullyapplied in all matters of life in the fields of HORARY,ELECTIONAL, MEDICAL ASTROLOGY andespecially on NATAL Astrology.

The Siddas were not only great spiritualists to the corebut also were great scientists, physicians and psychologistswho analysed life in its fullness both on mundane andabstract levels and dictated scientific principles and needingman to success of both levels. On the gross-plane, ifone lives in accordance with the nature, life becomesblessing which in the long run leads to spiritual well-beingalso. In such a seeking, the mysterious panchapakshi isone of the sciences which helps man progresssimultaneously on par, and in accordance with the natureand both the planes get enduring bliss.

How does it function?These 5 elemental vibrations act in 5 gradations offaculties for stipulated time intervals called Yamas. Eachof them consists of a duration of of 2 hours 24 minuteseach (6 ghatikas) over the 5 yamas in the day and 5yamas in the night (spread over 24 hours evenly). Thesefunctional patterns vary, during waxing and waning Mooncycles, and also during the week days. These elementalvibrations of 5 gradations function in such a way that whenone elemental vibration is at the highest ebb, the otherfour function proportionately in diminishing order, thus thelast vibration being dormant (death). These 5 elemental

vibrations are personalised as pakshis or birds and thegradations of their faculties have 5 activities.

The 5 birds are:

1. Vulture

2. Owl

3. Crow

4. Cock

5. Peacock

The 5 activities of the birds are:

1. Eating

2. Waliking

3. Ruling

4. Sleeping

5. Dying

Each bird performs these five activities during each dayand in night over the week days and during waxing andwaning Moon cycles during the 5 yamas in day and 5yamas in night in a stipulated order.

After identifying your birth bird (which is a permanentbird similar to your birth ascendant), you can see yourbird activities as provided in the following tables.

GOOD EVENING LADIES and Gentlemen, we aregoing to spend an hour together looking at the topic

‘Why does my child study Sanskrit in John Scottus?’ Mybet is that at the end of the hour you will all have come tothe conclusion that your children are indeed fortunate thatthis extraordinary language is part of their curriculum.

Firstly, let us look at Why Sanskrit for my child? We arethe only school in Ireland doing this language, so this willneed some explaining.

There are another 80 JSS-type schools in UK and alsoaround the world that have made the same decision toinclude Sanskrit in their curriculum (they are all off-shootsfrom the School of Philosophy).

Secondly, how is Sanskrit taught? You may have noticedyour son or daughter singing Sanskrit grammar songs inthe back of the car just for the fun of it on the way homefrom school. I’ll spend some time telling you HOW weapproach teaching Sanskrit now since my learning fromIndia.

But Why Sanskrit?To answer that we need to look at the qualities of Sanskrit.Sanskrit stands out above all other languages for its beautyof sound, precision in pronunciation and reliability as wellas thoroughness in every aspect of its structure. This iswhy it has never fundamentally changed unlike all otherlanguages. It has had no need to change being the mostperfect language of Mankind ever.

If we consider Shakespeare’s English, we realize howdifferent and therefore difficult for us his English languagewas although it is just English from less than 500 yearsago. We struggle with the meaning of Shakespeare’sEnglish or that of the King James Bible. Go back a bitfurther and we don’t have a clue about the English fromthe time of Chaucer’s ‘Pilgrim’s Progress’ from around700 AD. We cannot even call this English anymore andnow rightly call it Anglo-Saxon. So English hadn’t evenbeen born!

Sanskrit ?RUTGER KORTENHORST

Rutger Kortenhorst, a Sanskrit teacher inJohn Scottus School in Dublin, Ireland, speaksto parents of his school children on the value ofteaching Sanskrit to children, based on his ownexperience with the language.

All languages keep changing beyond recognition. Theychange because they are defective. The changes are infact corruptions. They are born and die after seven oreight hundred years –about the lifetime of a GiantRedwood Tree- because after so much corruption theyhave no life left in them.

Surprisingly there is one language in the world that doesnot have this short lifespan. Sanskrit is the only exception.It is a never-dying constant. The reason for the constancyin Sanskrit is that it is completely structured and thoughtout. There is not a word that has been left out in itsgrammar or etymology, which means every word can betraced back to where it came from originally. This doesnot mean there is no room for new words either. Just asin English we use older concepts from Greek and Latin toexpress modern inventions like a television: ‘tele [far] –vision [seeing]’ or ‘compute –er’.

Sanskrit in fact specializes in making up compound wordsfrom smaller words and parts. The word ‘Sams – krita’itself means ‘completely – made’.

So what advantages are there to a fundamentallyunchanging language? What is advantageous about anunchanging friend, say? Are they reliable? What happensif you look at a text in Sanskrit from thousands of yearsago?

Exceptional FeaturesThe exceptional features of Sanskrit have been recognisedfor a few centuries all over the world, so you will finduniversities from many countries having a Sanskrit faculty.Whether you go to Hawai, Cambridge or Harvard andeven Trinity College Dublin has a seat for Sanskrit –although it is vacant at present. May be one of yourchildren will in time fill this position again?

Although India has been its custodian, Sanskrit has haduniversal appeal for centuries. The wisdom carried by thislanguage appeals to the West as we can see from Yogaand Ayurvedic Medicine as well as meditation techniques,
