I am thinking of starting a series on the stories of the 9 planets. Each planet has its own meaning and energy. Shall we begin with Surya – the Sun? Would you like to hear it?
Today I visited Haridwar, one of the holiest cities in India. According to ancient Vedic legends, during the Samudra Manthan (the divine churning of the cosmic ocean), a sacred nectar of immortality Amrit emerged. When this celestial nectar was carried across the heavens, drops of it are believed to have touched the Earth at four sacred places Haridwar, Ujjain, Nashik, and Prayagraj giving them deep spiritual power. Bathing in these holy rivers is said to bring inner purification and divine blessings. Haridwar is truly known as the Gateway to the Divine — where faith flows like a river.
Thanks for the clear explanation about karma Lalit 🙏 it got me thinking, how do we know whether our karma is good or bad? And if we know we have bad karma and are practicing kindness just to improve our karma, then isn’t that being kind for a selfish and purpose driven reason, ie just to change our karma for our next life?!
When someone gains something, someone else loses it. This is the natural cycle of life — not only in money, profit, or loss, but also in birth and death. When a new life is born in one home, somewhere else, a soul leaves the world. This is how the universe keeps balance one comes, one goes. On the spiritual path, we learn to rise above this cycle. We should do our actions selflessly, without expecting results simply because it is our duty. That is the true path to peace and liberation. How do you see this cycle of life and loss?
Astrology & the Power of Celestial Bodies Astrology studies the energy, heat, and gravity of celestial bodies and how these forces influence life on Earth. Their effects are not just on humans but on all living beings animals, birds, trees and even the natural world around us. External Influence: The moon, sun, and planets affect oceans, tides, and natural rhythms. During full moon or new moon, waves rise higher due to the combined gravitational pull. Even from far away, these celestial forces shape water and nature. Impact on Humans: Our bodies are made of Earth, water, fire, air, and space. The celestial energies directly influence our mind, body, and behavior. People with sensitive mental states may feel stronger effects during full or new moons. The full moon’s pull can amplify thoughts, emotions, or mental challenges, gradually easing as the days pass. Astrology reminds us that the universe is deeply connected to our lives. The movement of celestial bodies affects our mind, environment, and the rhythm of life itself.
