Astrology , Holistic Medicine & Ayurveda

Holistic medicine postulates that the responsibility for healthcare rests in

the patient's hands because that is where the knowledge and control of the

variables lie ( diet,stress,exercise,genetics,emotion & medication).

The Five Levels of Being - The Yogic Model

These are the five concentric sheaths enveloping the Self, the Divine Spark

in man !

1. Physical Sheath ( Annamaya Kosha )

2. Vital Sheath ( Pranamaya Kosha )

3. Mental Sheath ( Manomaya Kosha )

4. Intellectual Sheath ( Vijnanamaya Kosha )

5. Bliss Sheath ( Anandamaya Kosha )

Disease is the imbalance in any of the three lower sheaths of existence -

physical, vital & mental. The microcosm & the macrocosm are are in unbroken

communion with each other & are structured on the same pattern. At the level

of the physical sheath, food, water & oxygen enter the microcosm and Co2,

waste products etc return to the macrocosm. This is true of other sheaths

also. The individual cannot exist independent of the cosmos. The

interdependence of the Microcosm & the Macrocosm is known in Classical

Philosophy as the Bio-Cosmic tieup. If the exchange between the physical

sheath and the physical world around it is defective, the body will become

ill, and death will result if it is stopped altogether.

Vedic Holistic Medicine is Ayurveda and its prophylactic aspect is

Naturopathy. All non-veg food is acidic and the alkaline food which is

needed for the body is that which cometh from Nature. So if we live in

rhythm with Natural Law, no disease can visit us.

Astrology & Yoga Therapy

The approach of Yoga Therapy is based on the holistic concept of human

being; the five " sheaths " of existence of which the physical sheath (

Annamaya Kosha ) is only the first. The second is the Vital Sheath (

Pranamaya Kosha ), that is made up of the Vital Energy called Prana which

flows through invisible channels called Nadis. The third is the Mental

Sheath ( Manomaya Kosha ) The fourth is the Intellectual Sheath (

Vijnanamaya Kosha ) and the final sheath is the Bliss Sheath ( Ananda Maya

Kosha ). The Bliss Sheath is found to consist of the positive energy

associated with the Divine Self. It is from this sheath that the inner peace

characteristic of true Bliss emanates.

Astrology & Occult Vibratory Chemistry ( Tantra )

A different but parallel model of human personality was developed by the

Tantras. Whereas the Upanishads speak of Five Sheaths or Koshas, the Tantras

speak of six chakras. These Chakras are ( in ascending order)

1. Root Chakra ( Muladhara )

2. Anal Chakra ( Manipura )

3. Solar Plexus Chakra ( Swadhistana )

4. Heart Chakra ( Anahata )

5. Throat Chakra ( Vishuddhi )

6. Eyebrow Chakra ( Ajna )

Life is regarded as the unfolding of the Self at six different levels of

consciousness known as Chakras in the magnificent Tantric Model. In mundane

people the unfolding takes place only at the first three chakras which

represent procreation, metabolism & speech; the higher three chakras remain

latent. The awakening of the higher chakras results in the unfolding and

fulfillment of Life Divine. When the Kundalini, the Serpentine Power

inherent in humans, rises from the Root Chakra ( Muladhara ) to the Crown

Chakra ( Sahasrara ), man achieves Cosmic Consciousness. The Spirit shall

take up the human play The earthly life become the Life Divine!

Books as the source of knowledge

" Books are the legacies that a great genius leaves to mankind, to posterity

" said Dante. Without books we cannot acquire knowledge. With the advent of

the New Age in the Kali Yuga, a spiritual revolution has been ushered & many

Redeemers will be there to save mankind !

" I saw them cross the twilight of the Age,

The massive barrier breakers of this world

The sun-eyed children of a marvellous dawn

The architects of immortality

Carrying the Dionysian cup of Joy " - Aurobindo
