The Descending Node of the Moon ( South Node )was known as



Ketu in Vedic Astrology. Ancient seers had given him the

portfolio of Self_Actualisation ( Moksha ). His position in

the 12th ( the house of final emancipation or Moksha ) is

extolled highly by the savants. Along with the spiritual

planets, Jupiter and Saturn, Ketu should be in a good

position in the horoscope for one to attain to the Divine

Crown.

Astrology and the Science of Numbers ( Numerology )

Is the Absolute the Numberless Infinite? Or has the Absolute

any-thing to do with numbers? Well, Pythagorus inclined to

the latter view. Reality, he said , is symbolised by

numbers.

Gem Therapy

Modern scientific research has proved that even secondary

gems increase planetary rays & these can be used for healing

purposes.

Howard Beckman ( http://www.p-g-a.org/) writes " One example

is we have identified obvious beneficial effects of using

white sapphire for increasing planetary rays of Venus from

our own research over many years. The secretary of the P G

A, Mr Richard Shaw Brown, (http://www.agt-gems.com/)through

his 3 decades in this field of planetary gemology has also

proven the efficacy of certain colours of the tourmaline

family for increasing benefic planetary rays of Mercury and

Astrology , Holistic Medicine & Ayurveda

Symbolism behind Vedic temples

Man has three bodies - physical, astral & causal. The outer

wall of theVedic temple represents the physical body of man.

The inner wall represents the astral body and the innermost

wall represents the Causal body. Deep within these three

bodies is the Self, the Atman who is represented by the

Deity ! The word temple is derived from the Latin word

tempulum, a place where Law and Justice can be

administered. The principle behind the temple, is Know

Thyself ! Am I a god, then? Yes In these pure features I

behold Creative Nature to soul unfold ( Goethe ) In other

words man suffers from three types of illnesses - physical,

mental & spiritual. Holistic Medicine takes the Tripod of

Life - Body, mind and Self into consideration.

Astrology & Yoga Therapy

The root Cause of all Disease - Bhoga or Sensory enjoyments

Bhoga ( enjoyments of the senses ) is Roga ( Disease). It

can only be cured by Yoga ( Divine Alchemy ). All food that

is tasty is detrimental to the body, declares Prakriti

Therapy The food which cometh from Nature, fruits and

vegetables, are alkaline by nature. Maximum health is in an

alkaline body. We can only be healthy if we keep a 80%- 20%

ratio. ( 80% alkalinity & 20% acidity). This means we have

to eat more natural foods & less processed foods ( which are

more or less acidic ). Truly speaking, processed foods,even

though they taste well, are robbers as they rob us of our

natural, vibrant health.

Astrology & Occult Vibratory Chemistry ( Tantra )

The Serpentine Power in individual bodies, the Kundalini,

is the coiled Energy in humans, which rises during

Meditation & Prayer. When She ( Kundalini ), the

miscrocosmic power of the macrocosmic Shakti, rises from

from the Root Chakra & reaches the other Chakras, siddhis or

paranormal powers maniest. Clairvoyance, clairaudience,

distant healing, the ability to see Auras & ultimately

Trikala-jnana ( the power to know Past, Present & future )

all manifest in the aspirant. The aspirant should not be

intoxicated by these siddhis. If he tries to exhibit the

siddhis or paranormal powers, he may not reach the Goal of

Life. Instead he should ignore these powers of the mind &

continue his Tapas till he is liberated.
