When Satyakama entered the ashram, a conference of learned men was taking place in the main hall. It was presided over by the sage Gowthama Haridruma himself. He had a long beard; he had holy ash smeared on his forehead; he had a string of Rudrakshi around his neck; he had a Kamandala (a vessel of holy water); he wore a pair of padukas and his clothing was saffron in color. One could see that he was chanting a holy mantra and he had a innate radiance on his face by which he could attract everyone. The new disciple was very much impressed by the sage’s appearance. He was lucky to have the “darshan” of this great sage who knew the past and could see the future. He was beyond the “thrigunas” and would treat everyone in an unbiased fashion. Satyakama felt that he had acquired divine eye sight; he felt like a lame person regaining the use of his legs, and that he had acquired what he had been looking for, for a long time. It was as if he had been foraging for a rare herb, and he found it without much effort.

T

here were tall trees. They seemed to be kissing the sky. All around he saw greenery, plants filled with flowers and fruits. The variety of plants made the surroundings look exquisitely attractive. The fragrance of flowers greeted the visitor. Beautiful animals such as rabbits, reindeer, and peacocks were moving about freely. One could hear the melody of the songs of cuckoos all around. They seemed to welcome Satyakama. Streams were flowing, making pleasant sounds. It was a pleasure to watch the pellucid waters of these streams. When one went near they made him extremely happy. Satyakama’s happiness knew no bounds. Satyakama went across the greenery and suddenly he was greeted by the melodious chanting of Vedic Mantras. He was entering an altogether different world. The smoke from homakundas had enveloped the entire area and that made the place look holy. Those who breathed the air filled with the homadhooma would be in the pink of health. Their eyes shone with luster. A number of young Brahmacharis of Satyakama’s age were collecting Samith and Darbha, the holy grass, and chanting the Vedic Mantras. Siddhi Times USA 4

In the great assembly the learned sages put forth their views on the subject: “The Right to knowledge.” At the end, the great Gowthama began to give his views on the subject: Om ricassamani yajoogumshi I Sa ni shriramritha satam II (The three Vedas, Rig, Yajur, and Sama are the eternal sources of knowledge for the well-disposed human being). He then said, “I thank all the learned Acharyas. A lot of discussion has gone on, so far, regarding the subject namely, who has the right to knowledge. A very simple answer to the question, in that, everyone has the right to knowledge, according to the Upanishads.” The early part of the Vedas deals with the Karma Kanda (doing one’s duties) - the study of which is not very easy. It requires great devotion and hard work. Even a small mistake in the pronunciation could lead to the wrong interpretation, and in such a case the performer will not get the desired result.

But the Upanishads, which form the essence of Vedas, are the concluding part of the holy texts. Therefore they are referred to as Vedantha and Jnanakanda, what is explained in the Upanishads is the light which brightens every soul. It is the same in the case of everyone. The ultimate goal of everyone in life is to see that, and to understand it. Everyone is entitled to this knowledge. Our ancient sages refer to ‘Saptadweepa vasundhara,’ that is: the whole world and all the people living in it have a right to the wealth of knowledge found in these Upanishads. Complete knowledge is not the monopoly of any one individual. In this way the thinking of our ancient wisemen transcended caste and creed, place and time. It was really very broad minded and liberal in essence. Deliverance, or Mukti, the ultimate release from the bonds of repeated births, should not be mistaken as a state that one attains after death. One who journeys in along the path of knowledge and wisdom can get deliverance even while living and he can enjoy bliss during his life time. There is no sinner according to Hindu belief. Every life is sacred and we are all children of immortality. “O children of immortality, just listen to this massage,” thus the great sage addresses us all. “Every one should strive to attain this awareness. In order to achieve this we have to seek the help of men of wisdom. Everyone can attain this supreme state through the ‘satsang’ of good people and by following the path of such good ones. Live according to Dharma; speak good words, and do good deeds. Let everyone tread this path. Let everyone try to have a glimpse of the sun of wisdom,” thus concluded the great sage. Sahanavavatu, sahanow bhunaktu I Sahaveeryam karavavahai II Thejaswina vatee tamastu I Ma vidwishavahai II Om shanthih, shanthih shanthih II The seminar of wise men concluded with this Shanthi mantram. At the conclusion of the meeting of the wise

men, Satyakama placed the bundle of Samith(Sticks meant for holy fire offerings) he had brought at the feet of the great sage and prostrated before him and said with great humility, “O great Kulapathi, you are the one to be remembered first in the morning. I surrender myself at your feet. I beg you to accept me as your disciple and allow me to serve you. I am interested in acquiring knowledge. You are my Guru, and you are Brahma, Vishnu, and Maheshwara to me. Please bless me.” There was a great humility in his words. One could see great devotion in him. The words he spoke came directly from his heart. The chancellor, who heard him speak, said, “Dear son, which Gotra (class identity and origin of community) do you belong to? He sincerely said that he did not know his gotra. The sage then asked him who his father was. “O revered sage, so far I do not know who my father is; I have not seen him. I know only my mother,” he said in a childlike tone. Listening to the boy the sage said the following words: “Dear child, your mother should know the Gotra. Go and ask your mother and then come back here.” Satyakama agreed and returned home. He asked his mother for the information: “Dear mother, the Kulapathi asked me about my Gotra and my father’s name. As I did not know anything about the details, I could not give him a specific answer. He has sent me to you to get the information. Tell me mother which Gotra I belong to.” Jabaalaa was perplexed by what her son asked her. She did not know her husband’s Gotra. She had not asked him for the details because he was with her only for a very short while. Jabaalaa told her son the following simple truth. “My dear son, I do not know much about your father. I was looking after the guests in this ashram. Once, a nice young man came here and we fell in love with each other. We married and you were born. I do not know either his name or his Gotra. I am the mother who gave birth to you Satyakama Jaabaala. I know this much, and that is the truth. Go and tell the Kulapathi what I have told you now.” Satyakama took his mother’s blessings and went back to the sage’s ashram.

The Significance of Navaratri Sri Mathre Namaha Goddess Parasakthi, wife of Lord Shiva is the united shape of the holy trinity Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva. She created this universe. As it is very common to have a few bad things while creating good things, a few evil spirits, called “Asuraas,” were also created. Nobody was able to conquer them. So everybody prayed Goddess Parasakthi to kill these evil manifestations and protect the universe. So, Goddess Parasakthi killed all the evil spiritss in a span of nine days. These days usually come in the Tamil month Purattasi or Aippasi (According to the English Calendar from the 3rd week of September to the 3rd week of October). These nine days are called, “Navaratri,” and the 10th day is called, Vijaya Dasami. This 10th day is the best day to begin the learning of any kind of art or to start a new business. If we pray to Goddess Parasakthi on these days, it is sure that we will get the best blessings from Goddess Parasakthi. We have made elaborate arrangements to celebrate the Navaratri festivals here at the Hindu Temple of Georgia. It is the best to perform Deepa Pooja / Thiruvilakku Pooja on any of these 9 days. For the convenience of the devotees, we have made special arrangements to perform this Deepa Pooja /Thiruvilakku Pooja on Sunday September 20th 2009, from 10:00am onwards.

In the last issue I explained about nine stars. In this issue I wish to explain about nine more stars. All these are only hints and guidelines. The situation will vary according to the individual’s horoscope. Simply by knowing the star or Nakshatra no problem can be solved. To have spiritual salvation of a problem, the horoscope is a must.

Swati Swati is ruled by Vayu, the God of the Wind. This is the fifteenth nakshatra of the zodiac, having all its four quarters in Tula, spanning from 6°-40’ to 20°-00’. This Nakshatra is concerned with air, wind, breeze or knowledge of Akaash since Akaash is the abode of air. Swati Nakshatra can be destructive unless we learn how to use it to remove negativity.

If a Chitra born native has a powerful Neptune in his/ her chart, the person will have dreams that can foretell the Siddhi Times USA 9

spanning from 20°-00’ in Tula to 3°-20’ in Vrishchika. Another name of this star is Radha, a compliment to Anuradha, the birth star of the Sun. It has the Symbol of a leaf-decked triumphal gate. Vishakham does not give immediate results but perhaps greater long term gains. Indra and Agni here are related to agriculture showing the ripening effect of heat, rain and seasonal changes. A person born in this Nakshatra is religious minded having inclination towards performing rites and rituals etc., is of unstable nature and unfriendly. Vishakham born have a wellproportioned body, but they tend to be obese and put on weight with the passing of age. Vishakham people can be envious or covetous of the success of others. They may lack a strong social network of friends and feel isolated and alone against the world. Bitterness and resentment may result. Those born under this nakshatra are likely to have a very happy marital life and will make good marriage partners. A man born under this star works at various things but hardly concentrates on any one of them. They are an excellent communicator, and they write and speak well. Females born in this nakshatra are beautiful and religious in nature. They need to have a well balanced diet and should exercise regularly to keep them fit. They will have a sweet tongue and quiet diplomatic in their choice of words. They are dreamers, liking astrology, administrators, brave, strong and of charitable nature. Anuradha The Nakshatra Anuradha is ruled by Mitra, the Divine Friend. This is the 17th nakshatra of the zodiac, spanning from 3°20’ to 16°-40’ in the sign of Vrishchika. Anuradha Nakshatra gives balance in relationship, both honoring others and seeking ourselves to be honorable. A person born in this Nakshatra possesses luster and splendor, achieves fame, is enthusiastic, a destroyer of his enemies, an expert in many forms of arts and a sensualist. People born in this nakshatra also show some very peculiar characteristics. Those born under this star have to face several obstacles in their life, and hence they have a somewhat defeated look on their face. They can reside in foreign lands and achieve success away from their homeland. Anuradha people usually possess good health and vitality. Called the “star of success,” Anuradha natives can demonstrate organizational skills and call others to activity. Anuradha born, are not on good terms with their parents a n d other

Siddhi Times USA 10

close relations. Some of them may be creative, especially in the performing arts. Many of them will shine in social and political fields. Those born under this nakshatra could suffer from minor bodily ailments like asthma, breathing trouble, cough and cold and dental problems. They need to watch their dietary habits due to an inability to bear hunger or thirst. They have a strong appetite for life in general. They are learned, have deep devotion, softness, musical talents, royal position, quickness. Jyeshta Jyeshta is ruled by Indra, the ruler of the Gods. This is the 18th nakshatra of the zodiac, spanning form 16°-20’ to 30°-00’ in the sign of Vrishchika. Jyeshtha means the eldest one, the senior most, the chief one, more excellent than, preferred one or someone or something supreme glorious. The person born under this star is full of luster and splendor, achieves fame and greatness, is rich, brave, a hero and an excellent conversationalist. The chief deity is Indra, the King of the Gods and protector of heroes. He is the divine warrior and “dragon slayer.” He rides the mighty elephant, carries the thunderbolt and demonstrates the power of truth. Indra is known for his daring nature, courage, power, and glory. Jyeshta allows us to reach the summit of our personal powers but it requires great courage and effort. People born in this nakshatra possess a mix of the qualities of Mercury and Mars. Jyeshtha born have excellent physical stamina and a good physical appearance. The qualities make them appear like a very proud person, but the facts are actually different. The people born under this star are not very clear about the profession they want to pursue for life, and hence keep on changing jobs or the lines of business often. They are an expert at working with their hands and at fashioning metals. They can be involved in religious practices while simultaneously entrenched in materialistic pursuits. The primary motivation of Jyeshtha is artha or material prosperity. They are artistic, lover of ornaments, costly dresses, dreamers, brave, agriculturists, philosophical and well-talented.

Even though I wish to discuss about all the 27 stars, the readers will get confused. So, I wish to conclude this chapter with nine stars only. In the next issue I will explain more and more about the stars. I pray Lord Shiva and Sri Vana Durga to shower their entire blessings on all of us to have a very comfortable living.

Atharva Vedic Spiritual solution for recession. Today, the greatest problem amongst the job going people is recession. Why the recession happens only to particular persons? Somebody get good jobs even though they are not qualified much and somebody sticks on to that particular job permanently. Whereas, some highly qualified people suffer much due to the recession. What is the reason for all these things? Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar replies in one sentence. That is Dharma and Ishta Devathas Pooja. By properly adopting the dharma and knowing the Ishata Devathas through the Atharva Vedic astrology and performing proper Pooja to the proper deities give wonderful Atharva Vedic spiritual salvation from this worst problem. This is the period of recession when everyone is having problems of different dimensions. Therefore it is better to know the divine future so that a person is able to know himself better from dharmic angle. Why should we take this Dharma and Ishta devathas report? What relevance it has for the present day situation? Dharma is the cornerstone of the Vedic tradition and it encompasses all aspects of human life. Thus a righteous way of life is not just for spiritual progress but also for leading a meaningful life in the world. The oft-quoted dictum is that Dharma protects one who upholds it. It is the only armor that protects man and not worldly power and your position which can easily fall away. In Ramayana, when Lord Rama went to the forest for 14 years, Kausalya gives advice to Rama which provides insight into the nuances of Dharma. She blessed Rama: “May that Dharma protect you on all sides” Was this an expression of a mother’s anxiety about her son’s welfare? It was more. This is a pointer to the fact that in the present day turmoil, if one worships the dharma devatha and Ishta devatha, and has unshakeable faith in its working, he/she will be surely protected from all the problems of present day life. Rama’s life proved that even animals favored the righteous while Ravana’s is a pointer to

Siddhi Times USA 14

the truth that even one’s sibling would desert the unrighteous. Through your Dharma and Ishta devatha report you will have an inspiration to broaden your horizons, and through prayers to your Dharma devatha and Ishta devatha Our consultation will contain the following: 1. Who is your Dharma devatha? 2. Who is your Ishta devatha? 3. How do you offer prayers to the dharma devatha and Ishta devatha who can give you deliverance in these hard times? According to Hindu philosophy, there are four Vedas. Among all the four Vedas, Atharva Veda is the only Veda that describes the usage of the super human power to solve the problems faced by the human beings. The diagnostic part of the Atharva Veda is the Atharva Vedic Astrology. Vedic astrology is as old as the Vedas. That too The Vedas, which are the sacred Hindu scriptures, embody eternal knowledge. To the uninitiated, the Vedas might appear as nothing more than ritualistic oblations to air, water and thunder, etc. In order to decipher what lies concealed in the Vedas, a study of certain subjects is considered a prerequisite. These subjects are called the ‘Vedangas’ or the body organs of the Vedas. There are six such Vedangas. They are: Shiksha, Chhanda, Vyakarana, Nirukta, Kalpa and Jyotisha. Now let us see the brief description of all these things. Shiksha:-, which deals with an understanding of the Vedic ‘Varnas’, ‘Swaras’ and ‘Matras’, and thus with the technique of correct pronunciation. Chhanda:-, dealing with the appropriate lyrical utterance of the Vedic ‘Suktas’. Vyakarana:-, expounding the grammatical aspects of the language. Nirukta:-, which explains the difficult

words, ‘padas’ and ‘mantras’. Kalpa:-, dealing with the understanding of Sutras and the use of Mantras, hence concerned with the ritualistic aspect of the Vedas Jyotisha or Vedic astrology: The Vedic way of analyzing the positions of planets. So to say this is the base for the modern astronomy based astrology. Of the body called the Vedas, astrology represents the ‘eyes’, with its capacity to ‘see’ the past, the present and the future. Vedic Astrology is considered as the most important of the above Vedangas. Vedic Astrology is an analysis and forecasting system, based on astronomical data, which allows its practitioners to carefully assess and understand behavior, to measure the effects of the past, the influence of the present and the tendency of events to unfold in the future. Vedic Astrology appeared in Sanskrit. Later day authors came up with the name – “Vedic Astrology”. The word “Vedic” means “pertaining to Vedas.” Vedas are the sacred scriptures of, what is known today as Hinduism and they are supposed to contain knowledge of all subjects. Moreover, astrology in particular is supposed to be a “Vedaanga” (which means a limb of Vedas). Vedic Astrology is becoming popular these days. Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar’s role is very notable in popularizing Vedic Astrology in western countries. He has great research knowledge of Atharva Veda and Vedic Astrology. There is a vast difference in scrutinizing a horoscope as a “Jyothish” and Atharva Vedic scholar. With the Atharva Vedic astrology one can easily find what the “Ishata Devatha” is and perform the proper rituals to that Ishata devatha and get rid of the problems faced today.

treated with good honor. In the name of justice, a good astrologer could not refuse or tell lies. Open heartedly he concluded that the “Ammasa Day” (New-Moon day) was a date of success which could win victory for the Gouravas. The faithfulness and generosity of the Pandavas was really great. Even though this prediction foretold their failure, the Pandavas did not conceal the fact.

The Lord was about awake from his sleep. Arjuna sat on a seat close by the side of the feet of Lord Krishna. The Gouravas’ head man, Duriyodhana, sat closer to the side of the Lord’s head.

I

n The Maha Bharath Yudh, between the Pandavas and the Gouravas, both sides were making preparations. The help of neighboring countries, states, and friendly kings was sought after. Duriyodhana, being the leader of Gouravas, was making plans with his kinsman, Saguni. On the side of Pandavas, the task was difficult. They had to join soldiers and troupes together to form the needed military strength. Lord Krishna was the relative and close associate of both the Gouravas and Pandavas. One day, in the morning, Arjuna visited the palace of Lord Krishna. At the same time, Duriyodhana also presented himself there to request assistance from the Lord. Siddhi Times USA 20

After a little while, the Lord opened his eyes and found the both of them sitting close to his bed. Both of them requested the Lord to give his support to them. It was a delicate situation for the Lord. He could not say “no” to anyone. After discussions, the Lord offered his support in a way they desired. Duriyodhana, had all of Lord Krishna’s soldiers to his favour. And, Arjuna willingly accepted the personal support of Krishna. The job of driving Arjuna’s chariot in the battlefield was the support offered him by Lord Krishna. What else should one need when the Lord Himself becomes your helper? Saguni, the kinsman, induced Duriyodhana to set a good date for the commencement of war. Saguni knew well that Shahadeva, one of the Pandavas, was well versed in Astrology. So, he sent Duriyodhana to seek the help of Shahadeva, even though he was an opponent. Duriyodhana approached and requested Shahadeva to give a date on which if the war should begin, that beginning should positively bring success to him. Being a cousin, Duriyodhana was

Duriyodhana’s group was very happy to receive this prediction from Shahadeva. Accordingly, the war-date was fixed and announced. Since Lord Krishna agreed to give his personal support to The Pandavas, he took care of them at every stage of preparations. The Lord knew all about the prediction of Shahadeva. He decided to give his assistance in the form of brilliant and factual methods. Lord Krishna went to “Kunthi,” the mother of the Pandavas. He had to save the life of Arjuna on the battlefield. Then only would victory reach the Pandavas’ side. Karna, a mighty person, quite like Arjuna, was in the camp of Duriyodhana, who gave him the status of a king for his “Angatha Country.” Karna was faithful

and a most important person in Duriyodhana’s army. Karna was a valiant person in the implementation of Asthras (Weapons). “Naga Asthra” was a deadly poisonous weapon. If imposed directly to the head of enemy, the certainity of death would befall the maimed person. Lord Krishna wanted to protect Arjuna from danger, so he asked ‘Kunthi’ to visit the palace of Karna and request a boon from him. The boon was actually related to saving Arjuna from danger. Kunthi should request that Karna not use the Naga Asthra on Arjuna, and even if he did, he should not repeat a second attempt. Kunthi then went to Karna’s palace. She was worshiped and honored by Karna. During their conversation there came a surprise that revealed the hidden truth of Karna’s birth. The sage Durvasa had visited the palace of Kunthibhoja who had a daughter called Kunthi. The sage told the King that he would stay there for a year. The king was well aware of the sage’s temper. He was an angry person. Kunthi came forward and accepted the task of looking after the sage. She served the sage for the whole year and had the honor to receive boons from Durvasa. The sage told her “Dear Kunthi, I would like to grant you a boon. What do you desire to have? Ask for it with out reservation.” To this Kunthi said, “Oh great sage, my father would be happy when he knows that you are pleased. What more do I need than yours as well as my father’s happiness? I am a simple girl. I do not know much about the world. I do not know what to ask for. If I have erred in my words or deeds, I beg pardon of you. I will be happy with that.” Kunthi explained all this to Karna. The sage decided to give a “Manthroupadesha” to Kunthi. By the virtue of this manthra, she could invite any of the Gods, and they would appear and grant their blessings. Then the sage left for the forest to attend to

his own duties. A few weeks later, she was beset with the curiosity to test the power of the manthra. She saw the Sun shinning gloriously in the sky. She chanted the manthra. SuryaDeva the Sun god came in front of her. He came after reducing his great heat and brightness. She stood duly folding her hands. Surya Deva knew the importance of the manthra and placed a small baby boy in her hands and vanished. Being an unmarried girl, if she brought the child home, society would outcast her and abuse her. On that fear she placed the child in a box and made it sail upon the river waters of Ganga. Some how or other, fate deemed the child to live as a motherless child. The child would grow up with honesty and benevolence. And that child would join the camp of Duriyodhana. And the same child, another child, Arjuna, would have to fight on the battlefield. All these fate bound matters were revealed to Karna. Karna is now the son of Kunthi by virtue of her boon from Sage Durvasa. All these interlinked facts were spoken with great agony. Karna felt much pleased to know that his mother was Kunthi. He felt overjoyed, and granted the boon to his own mother that he would not use the Naga Asthra on Arjuna a second time. But out of sincerity to his friend and to take care of Duriyodhana, he would certainly pass on the Naga Asthra and only shoot upon Arjuna upon the battlefield. The truth, justice, affection, and duty were peeping one upon another establish their individualities. Kunthi shed tears on the spot for she could not bear to loose any of her sons. (Karna was considered as the eldest of Pandavas). Lord Krishna, the actual guard for Arjuna, was carrying out his duty to put the Pandavas on the most beneficial footing.

The interviewer was very impressed with the third answer and thought he had found his man. “It is hard to beat the speed of light.” he said. Turning to the fourth man, a Newfoundlander, he posed the same question.

2. The quickest funny thing…….. Four men were sitting around a conference room table being interviewed for a job. The interviewer asked, “What is the fastest thing you know of?” The first man replied, “A thought. It pops into your head, there is no forewarning that it is on the way; it is just there. A thought is the fastest thing I know of.” “That is very good,” replied the interviewer. “And now you, sir,” he asked the second man. “Hmmm, let me see..... A blink”, said the second man. “It comes and goes and you do not know it ever happened. A blink is the fastest thing I know of.”

“After hearing the three previous answers, it is obvious to me the fastest thing known is diarrhea,” said the Newfie. “What!” said the interviewer, stunned by the response. “Oh, I can explain,” said the Newfie. “You see, the other day I was not feeling so well and ran for the bathroom. But, before I could think, blink, or turn on the light, I shit my pants.” He got the job. 3. A pregnant Lady A three-year-old kid walked up to a pregnant lady while waiting with his mother in the doctor’s office. He inquisitively asked the lady, “Why is your stomach so big?”

With big eyes, he asked, “Is the baby in your stomach?” She answered, “He sure is.” Then the little boy, with a puzzled look, asked, “Is it a good baby?” She said, “Oh, yes. It is a real good baby.” With an even more surprised and shocked look, he asked, “Then why did you eat him??” The lady????????

She replied, “I am having a baby...”

“Excellent!”, said the interviewer. “The blink of an eye. That is a very popular cliché for speed.” He then turned to the third man who was contemplating his reply. “Well, out on my dad’s ranch, you step out of the house and on the wall there is a light switch. When you flip that switch, way across the pasture the light at the barn comes on in an instant. Turning on a light is the fastest thing I can think of.”

Even in this collective leader ship by the choice of regional and state wise selections, the merit for the humanity was disregarded. The weapon for destructions were introduced. The big and mighty nations started to manufacture the mass killing bombs and made the storage of such in huge quantities. Now the democratic nations declare it as self guarding formula. Every term of five or six years, the leaders under banner of ‘Party’ get changed and what will be the guarentee that they will follow the norms and promises of the predecessors. At any time on an emotional and angry situation, that can be misused. Irrespective of promises and treaties, the danger can arise. For a moment one and all should recall to the memory, the natural environments. God hath created all the essentialities for a comfortable living of all mankind, and other creatures. The brotherly love and affection between the people of different comtries, different languages and religions had not yet regarded fully.

resent world and the people all around the universe are now bound to develop the brothern – hood between countries of different languages and religions. The earth by nature, possess all the needs of mankind. From a fruit to petrol, the mother earth delivers. The paper money, is a manipulation or made up only for account and value purpose. On different names and titles as, cost; creation; labour; principle interest, profit; infrastructure; construction progress; development; the money gets involvement. The opinions like insufficiency, shortage, lesser value and unsuitable price, will interfere and the disputes will arise. So, the thoughts towards greediness leads to accumulations of more and more. That may be with the point of wealth. Even the annexings of lands in vast area. This kind of matters started in the olden days by kings. As a king, he behaved himself as a warrior. His duty was judged with his invasion of neighbouring villages and towns. Gradually, the war with other countries and annexing the total lands to his kingdom and for his own gain to the fame of “Chakravarthy” (King of kings). Lives Siddhi Times USA 26

Per day how many lakhs and tons of oil products and petrol are being emptied. When the earth is loosing all the storages, one day it will be hallow. The activities on earth will stand still. Just for the last 350 years only the usage of kerosene, petrol came in to practice. Before that only vegetable oils and candles were in use.

Present student community should know what had happened. Such thing should never repeat. All the prayers of all religion give preference only for non violence and justice. A universal society on its journey to peace, more should show prominence to the verse “Live and let the others also to live”. This policy alone will save the entire world. Here it is submitted with details, how a tragedy took place to the human kind during 1945. The victims were the people of Hirosheema and Nagasaki in Japan. The very cruel bomb “compelled the Empire of Japan to surrender to the American Nation. The bomb was the product of many minds. For decades physicists had dreamed of unleashing the power which lay imprisoned in the tiniest particle of matter that the current scientific theories postulated the atom which by school boy definition, was the smallest portion of an clement which still retained all the Qualities of that clement. If once the power latent in an atom could be released, they promised – sanguinely or guardedly, according to their several temperaments – the worlds work could be soon would be transformed to child’s play. In their laboratories, men of genius, of talent of craftsmanship conducted obscure experiments. ‘Bombarding’ atoms with electricity, experimenting with radium, building elaborate apparatus, producing flames that leapt from point to point flashes representing an astronomical number of volts The war in Europe was scientific enough pilotless planes rockets which struck unheralded by sound or sight – but the war in Europe had drawn to its end. A nation of eightly million had been smitten from an eminence greater than that of Napoleon’s France into catastrophic defeat. Yet still, wearily, drearily, savagely, the war in the

East went on. While the marines and the sailors the soldiers and the airmen were working their way from bases in Australia to assail Okinawa and raid the island of Honshu, the scientist were working in Los Alamos in desert New Mexico in oak Ridge, Tennessee, working furiously, in spite of all the patience science imposes, against time, striving to harness the ultimate secret, to liberate the ultimate power in Nature…. Not for peace but for war like purposes.

Apart from the magnitude of the onslaught, its Quality was unutterable. It is neither defeats it’s own end. So let a single attested incident convoy this unique Quality of unearthly evil: the words are Horsley’s.

to something like the speed of light. By the slow process of trial and error, correcting, amending, improving, they finally produced a working bomb. It was tested in the ‘bad land’s where it would do no harm. The news of the achievement was given to Washington – and to London. The statesmen and the politicians were confronted a tragic and agonising dilemma to use it or not. To with hold it meant the deaths of uncountable men, the protraction of untellable suffering, the condemnation to still further torture of prisoners who had already been beaten and starved and subjected to bestial cruelties. At such on hour the hardest – headed statesmen and soldiers with the stoniest hearts must have cursed the gift perhaps the illusion – of free will. Imagine the debate between high principles and low practice. The apostles of “greatest good for the greatest number” joining hands with the savagely vindictive protagonists whose arguement was no more than, “They started it did not they? They asked for it well, let them have it. To hell with it” To hell with it a facile, trivial phrase, said as one orders an extra drink or smokes a forbidden cigarette, but “it” in this case, was a city of a Quarter million people. Some of these people were men who had tortured prisoners or approved of the torture yet there were men and women gentle enough to admire the petals of cherry blossom industrious enough to slave in the paddy – fields. They expected to live, as does every human being in the ritual circle of birth and marriage and death.

“He (Father Kleinsorge a German missionary) heard a voice ask from the underfrush, “Have you anything to drink? “He saw a uniform. Thinking there was just one soldier, he approached with the water.

Then the sun went out, eclipsed not by shadow but by light: a light too blindingly incandescent that the familiar ball of fire which travels through the sky seemed far an instant extinguished There was no sound. No ‘crump’, no thud, no explosions only as the survivors regained consciousness, the brilliant morning was obscured as if a sudden mist had been cast by an enchanter’s hand; a mist formed of infinitesimal particles of brick and stone of earth and Vegetation and human tissue. The scientist had achived the reaction. The new age had been born, not with a bang but a whimper of a child whose mother had been flown from its side a hundred feet in physical space, and the irremediable distance between life and death, away. No one in Hiroshima heared Siddhi Times USA 27

a thing. For hours afterwards there hung about the span of sky over the town, ominous and evil in its brownish – purple colour. The mushroom – shaped cloud that is, to day the commonplace concurrent of an atom – bomb in the minds of men. Four and seven –tenths square miles of Hiroshima were devasted. Eight percent of the city’s buildings were damaged or destroyed. In the settlement of at that time, a Quarter of a million inhabitants (for evacuation had reduced the population by nearly 135,000) three- fifths were casualities major or minor. One single bomb had killed as many, wounded as many as a mass raid of 279 huge air crafts, laden to capacity with bombs. Sticking at a city ten times as populous. There come moments when even those who hold that one weapon differs from another only in degree must recognize, that when the degree or difference reaches such a scale, the difference becomes one of kind. For long the argument continued in the west: to with hold or to drop the bomb. At last the decision was taken ultimately that decision lay in the hands of three men; President Truman premier Attlee, Marshal Chiang Kai-shek Franklin Roosvelt who had transcended American tradition by serving not only three presidential terms but a fourth, was dead Winston Churchill, embodiment of embattled Britain, had been unbelievably cast aside by the electorate in the very hour of his triumph. In the place of the great liberal and the great European there Bat at the council table men of undeniably smaller stature; one, a small town politician thrust unexpectedly on to the stage during a crisis which required statesmen of world rank the other a man of integrity who had come to his party leadership as a compromise candidate. The third figure was a enigma; the Chinese who had turned from communist to Nationalist, whose conflict with Japan had endured for many years longer than that of the Allies. Stalin was no party to the consultations; Russia was still at peace with Japan. Seven Boeing Super Fortresses were detailed for the operation. Three were sent ahead, to report on whether conditions and to consider alternative targets (including Nagasaki which a few days later, was able to be atomized) Two aircrafts were detailed to carry instruments and observers. One, stationed at Iwo JIMA was ready to take over the bomb if anything happened to the B29 into which it was actually loaded. From the Tinian in the Mariana Islands, colonel panl W.Tibbets, U.S.A Air force, took off at a Quarter to three on the morning of 6 August 1945. For over five hours he sailed serenely through the lightening sky. It was bright sunshine when he arrived more than five miles above his target, flying at some 31,000, feet. Hiroshima was just setteling to another day! The summer sun gave promise of fair weather and the air raid warning meant no more, probably, than just another inconvenient routine interruption of the day’s war- work. Raiding aircraft, no matter what their target always assembled at Lake Biwa and, almost inevitability, crossed the city’s sky. Then- ironically sounded the all clear; only the three advance machines had been plotted and by the time colonel Tibbets was overhead they had passed the city. Unseen in the empyrean Tibbets ignored, the anti aireraft shells that bursts in futility about him. The bomb was fused, set to explode not on

contact but after dropping the height of Everst; 29,000, feet. It was to burst just 2,000 feet above the town, “Thereby achieving the maximum destruction, disseminating its force as widely as possible” For just 42 seconds after the bomb-doors were opened nothing happened – absolutely nothing. The instrument fell in its irresistable acceleration – 32 feet per second is the formula – gathering speed and impetus, some thing like a Quarter of a mile. High above it, racing to escape it eyes guarded with dark glasses, instrnements attuned sat the air – crew on the kindly earth, the little people men women and children – went about their daily tasks. Some of them it is true, tasks of destruction and duties of death. Indiseriminately, death, mutilation, irreparable loss. But the immediate effect, horrific beyond belief as it was is not all. The aftermath of atomination is not fully charted, even by scientist Many who were not, charred or shatterd, who were out of immediate reach of the bomb explosion and the blast that spread over a circle with a radius of a couple of miles, were stricken down secretly in one way or other when an explosion generates a heat which fuses tiles with a melting point of 1300 °C as far as yards away the aftermath can be expected to be extensive. The effects of those remote from immediate injury vary. Some victims it is believed of radion – are permanently sterilized the pregnant women in Hiroshima aborted and did not conceive again others are reduced by wasting diseases, where the corpuscles of the bood diminish. Their white blood-count fell within a month from the normal 5000/7000 to 3000 surfaces wounds – grayes abrasions, seratches a lose and for no reason, re-open. Hair suddenly starts falling and a minor burn may take months to heal. Fever accompanied by an almost dysentery – like diarrhea, sends temperatures rocketing up as high as 106°F. Then nearly a month later, comes bleeding, usually from the gums a drop in the white blood count, a drop in the red blood – count. Nature, striving to re establish her equilibrium, bred leveocyts by the million until the white blood – count rose as for above normal as it had dropped below, and this frantic endearor also brought death and new desease in its train. The aftermath of the desease was due to radition: the physicians described the symptoms as akin to those due to over exposuwre to X – rays. Over Hiroshima,an atom – bomb based on clranium. Only a few days later over Nagasaki an atom – bomb based on plutanium; one of even greater power Now the key has been found to release forces yet more destructive the force of by drogess. Side by side with the memory of these two chique air- raids. The scientists are busy trying to harness atomic energy as was at first so happily dreamed for the benefit of mankind. But a measure of guilt remains for the action of 6 August 1945 when up on one of the civilian centres of an enemy, was let fall the first atomic weapon.

Siksha Valli, the Brahmananda Valli and the Bhrigu Valli. Each Valli is further subdivided into anuvakas or verses. The Siksha Valli deals with the discipline of Shiksha (which is the first of the six Vedangas or “limbs” or auxiliaries of the Vedas), that is, the study of phonetics and pronunciation.

Pandit L.V. Sharma

First Anuvaka of this Valli starts with Shanti Mantra “OM Shamno Mitra”. Second Anuvaka lists the contents of Shiksha discipline. Third Anuvaka tells about the intimate connection between the syllables using five examples and implicitly tells that one should meditate on those examples to realize connections told in them. Each of these examples is called a Maha Samhita. Each Syllable is called a Samhita. There is also a method of reciting Vedic Mantras where each syllable of mantra is recited separately of preceding and next syllables known as “Samhita Patha”. This anuvaka also declares that one, who realizes connection between syllables, will get good fruits including heaven. One of the example used under the heading of self or Adhyaatmaa tries to make point that the connection between syllables is as intimate and innate as speech and elements producing it. “Lower jaw is former form (or first syllable), upper jaw is next form (next

During the past issues, I had an opportunity to share my thoughts on Spirituality. In this issue, I wish to discuss the spirituality mentioned in the Upanishads named Taittiriya Upanishad. The Taittiriya Upanishad is one of the older, “primary” Upanishads commented upon by Shankara. It is associated with the Taittiriya school of the Yajurveda (Krishna Yajurveda). It figures as number 7 in the Muktika canon of 108 Upanishads. It belongs to the Taittiriya recession of the Black Yajurveda and is constituted by the eighth and ninth chapters of Taittiriya Aranyaka. The Taittiriya Upanishad is divided into three sections or vallis, the

syllable), speech is union or connection, tongue is connector”. Fourth Anuvaka consists of Mantras and rituals to be done by those who aspire for Divine Knowledge (Medha Kama) and Wealth (Shree Kama). In this anuvaka teacher prays, “As water flows from high land to low land, as months join to become year, let good disciples come to me from everywhere”. Fifth and Sixth Anuvakas try to describe Brahman in the form of Vyahrutis. The words “Bhooh” , “Bhuvah”, “Suvah”, “Mahah”, “Janah”, “Tapah” and “Satyam” are called seven Vyahruti’s or Sapta Vyahrutis. These denote different worlds in Puranas. The term “Vyahruti” means pronunciation, since these above-mentioned words are pronounced in Vedic rituals like Agnihotra, these are called Vyahruti’s. Fifth Anuvaka states that the fourth Vyahruti “Mahah” was discovered by a Rishi called “Mahachamasya” and “Mahah” is Brahman all other Vyahrutis are its organs. This Anuvaka says that “Bhooh” denotes earth, fire, Richa’s and Prana. “Bhuvah” denotes space, air, Sama’s and Apana. “Suvah” denotes heaven, sun, Yajus and Vyana. “Mahah” denotes sun, moon, Holy Syllable OM and food. This way, each of first four Vyahrutis become four each and in total they are 16. So, all these four Vyahrutis should be meditated as all of their sixteen manifestations. This is known as famous Vedic term Shodasa Kala Purusha in Vedic literature. Finally, this anuvaka says that one who knows all sixteen manifestations of Vyahrutis knows Brahman and all gods bring gifts to him. Sixth Anuvaka tells that in the space inside the heart there exists an immortal golden being (Hiranya Purusha) and states that there is a subtle route through the middle of the head through which a self realized Yogi travels when he/she leaves the body and joins

the all pervading Brahman. The Seventh Anuvaka describes a meditation called Paanktha Upasana, where Brahman is meditated upon as a Set of Five called Paanktha. There is also a Vedic meter of five lines called Paanktha. Outer world seen is classified into three sets of five things called “AdiBootha” and inner body world into three sets of five things called “Adhyaathma”. This innerouter grouping is then meditated upon and meditator realizes both inner and outer paankta are one and the same Brahman and every thing is Paanktha. This Anuvaka states that Earth (Prithvi), Space (Antariksha), Heaven (Dyu Loka), Directions (North, South etc), Sub directions (South-East, North-West etc...). Worldly set of Five or (Loka-Paankta) and Fire (Agni), Air (Vayu), Sun (Aditya), Moon (Chandra), Stars (Nakshatra) (Divine-Five or DevaPaanktha) and Water, Herbs (Oshadhi), Trees, Sky (Akasha), Body of meditator (Elemental Five or Dhaatu-Paanktha) are called Adibhuta or Outer Elements. Further it states that Prana, Apana, Vyana, Udana, Samana (all these are Five inner pranas of the body) and Eye, Ear, Mind, Speech(Vaak), Outer-Skin(Tvak)(SensoryFive or Indriya-Paanktha) and Inner-Skin (Charma), Flesh, tendon-Ligaments, bones, Fat or Bone-Marrow (Elemental Five or Dhaatu Paanktha) are called Adhyaatma or Inner Elements. The Rishi who realized oneness among these says, “Thus everything is Paankta”. It further says that one, who realized everything as Paanktha, completes Paanktha with Paanktha itself. Eighth Anuvaka states the greatness of Holy Syllable OM. It says that OM is Brahman and everything. Ninth Anuvaka explains a pious way of life to be lead by persons aspiring realization of Brahman. See a prescription for an ideal life. Tenth Anuvaka is a Mantra for self-practice (Swadhyaya) or meditation. It is stated by a Rishi called Trishanku as an exclamation of awe after he realized that he is one with Brahman. It is also called Mantramnaya of Trishanku. Eleventh Anuvaka is a set of instructions that teacher (Acharya) gives to his disciple after completion of Vedic education. The ninth and eleventh Anuvakas collectively define life. Twelfth Anuvaka concludes the Shikshavalli with Shanti Mantra “OM Sham no mitra.” expressing gratitude toward gods who removed obstacles for study of Upanishad as prayed for in first anuvaka of this Upanishad. Now let me explain a few thoughts of this Upanishad and how it shows the way for an ideal life. The second anuvaka tells about the conjunction of various things. The third anuvaka explains how a human being can become the greatest in life. The Om that is the most exalted in the Vedas, that pervades all worlds, and that emerged from the immortal Vedas as their quintessence, Let he (Om that is Indra), the supreme Lord, gratify me with intelligence. O Lord Let me be the receptacle of immortality. Let my body be fit; Let my tongue be surpassingly sweet; Let me hear much good things through the ears. You are the sheath of Brahman: you are covered by (worldly) wisdom. Protect what I have heard. Then vouchsafe to me who am her (i.e. Prosperity’s) own, that Prosperity which brings, increases, and accomplishes quickly for me clothes, cattle, food, and drink for ever, and which is associated with furry and other animals.. Let the Brahmacharins (i.e. students) come to me from all sides. Let the Brahmacharins come to me in various ways. Let the Brahmacharins come to me in the proper way. Let the Brahmacharins have physical selfcontrol. Let the Brahmacharins have mental self-control. Let me become famous among people. Let me become praiseworthy among the wealthy. O adorable One let me enter into you, such

as you are. O venerable One, you, such as you are, enter into me. O adorable One, who is greatly diversified, let me purify my sins in you. As water flows down a slope, as months roll into a year, similarly O Lord, Let the students come to me from all quarters. You are like a resting house, so you become revealed to me, you reach me through and through. The grammatical meaning for the word Brahmacharin is –being a bachelor. However, the actual meaning is having the best self-control and adopting Brahman in ones self is called as Brahmacharin. If one has a good control over the mind, body and soul, he or she will become great. Everything they need in their life will automatically reach them. In the space that there is in the heart, is the Person who is realizable through knowledge, and who is immortal and effulgent. The thing that hangs down between the palates like a teat, through it runs the path of Brahman; and reaching where the hairs part, it passes out by separating the skulls. (Passing out through that path, a man) becomes established in Fire as the Vyahriti Bhuh; he becomes established in Air as the Vyahriti Bhuvah; in the sun as the Vyahriti Suvah; in Brahman as the Vyahriti Mahah. He himself gets independent sovereignty; he attains the lord of the mind; he becomes the ruler of speech, the ruler of eyes, the ruler of ears, and the ruler of knowledge. Over and above all these, he becomes Brahman, which is embodied in Akasa, which is identified with the gross and the subtle and has truth as its real nature, which reveals in life, under whose possession the mind is a source of bliss, which is enriched with peace and is immortal. By practicing this, the entire universe will enjoy the “Ananda”, the greatest bliss. There is no need for a caste, creed or religion. Only humanity and spirituality are needed to enjoy the bliss. According to the sayings of Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam), by adopting the spirituality in the day to day life of a human being, one can have a comfortable living style. The thoughts are the base for the development in the life of a human being. That’s why Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam) always says that “You will live according to your thoughts”. The following are to be practiced by each and every individual to

Siddhi Times USA 36

lead a peaceful spiritual life. They are Righteousness, learning, teaching and truth. Austerity, learning, and teaching are to be resorted. Control of the outer senses learning and teaching about the control of outer senses are to be practiced. Control of the inner organs, learning and teaching about the control of inner organs are to be resorted to. The fires are to be lighted up; the learning and teaching about the procedures of lighting the fire are to be followed. The Agnihotra (worshipping the Almighty through the Fire) is to be performed; learning and teaching about Agnihotra are to be carried on. The guests are to be entertained; the learning and teaching of the methods of entertaining the guests are to be practiced. Social good conduct is to be adhered to; the learning and teaching of the social conduct are to be practiced. Children are to be begotten. Truth is the thing; this is what Satyavacha, of the line of Rathitara, thinks. “Speak the truth. Practice righteousness. Make no mistake about study. Having offered the desirable wealth to the teacher, do not cut off the line of progeny. There should be no inadvertence about truth. There should be no deviation from righteous activity. If anybody practices the Truth and obedience to the teacher or Guru it is sure that the particular person will lead a very happy and spiritual life. That person will make all others to feel very happy. If everybody adopts this best lifestyle taught by the Vedas and Upanishads, it is sure that the world will be the land of peace. There should be no error in the duties towards the gods and manes. Let your mother be a goddess unto you. Let your father be a god unto you. Let your teacher be a god unto you. Let your guest be a god unto you. The works that are not blameworthy are to be resorted to, but not the others. Actions of ours that are commendable are to be followed by you, but not the others. You should, by offering seats, remove the fatigue of those Brahmanas who are more praiseworthy among us. The offering should be with honor; the offering should not be with dishonor. The offering should be in plenty. The offering should be with modesty. The offering should be with awe. The offering should be with sympathy. Then, should you have any doubt with regard to duties or customs, you should behave in those matters just as Brahmanas do, who Let happen to be there and who are able deliberators, who are adepts in those duties and customs, who are not directed by others, who are not cruel, and who are desirous of merit. Then, as for the accused people, you should behave with regard to them just as the Brahmanas do, who let happen to be there and who are able deliberators, who are adepts in those duties and customs, who are not directed by others, who are not cruel, who are desirous of merit. This is the injunction. This is the instruction. This is the secret of the Vedas. This is divine behest. This is how the meditation is to be done. This is how this must be meditated on. These are all the great teachings of simple moralities of human life. By adopting these simple moralities one can lead a calm and peaceful life. By leading a calm and peaceful life we can lead a wonderful spiritual life. The entire universe will become the greatest. Even though I realize that I am a Brahman, I wish to thank the other Brahmans, i.e. the almighty, Swamiji and the readers. In the next issue we will meet with some more thoughts on Spirituality.

tharva Vedic Astrology was invented by a group of seven rishis /monks called as “saptha rishis”. They were all intellectual giants. As they were the intellectual giants they were known as Siddhars. They followed the rules and formulas of Atharva Veda and they created a new path of astrology. This astrology is based on astronomy and the principles of Atharva Veda. They lived during the 10th to 12th centuries BC. In the 21st century, the only Living Siddhar/ Rishi in the entire western countries, that too particularly in USA is Swamiji Sri Selvam Siddhar. He is also famously known as Dr Commander Selvam. He has written and published thousands of articles about Atharva Veda, Vedic Astrology and related subjects and he is the 1st Rishi in the entire North America, to write about Vedic Astrology based on Atharva Veda which is the 4th Indian Veda. Presently Swamiji Sri Selvam Siddhar is the only Siddhar in the entire world, following Atharva Veda. Dating back to 6000 years, Vedic astrology was evolved as a part of Vedas or Vedic scriptures. Vedas are considered as the world’s most primordial scripture which offers an intrinsic belief and study with the essence of arts, science, philosophy and religion. Vedic Astrology was first explained in Rig Veda, the oldest one among the entire Vedas. Atharva Veda, the second oldest of the Vedas has more detailed and elaborate calculations, predictions and the spiritual remedial techniques. Many researchers and enthusiasts consider Vedas as the complete wisdom defining the entire mankind and its significance in relation to cosmological force. Jyotish Shastra or Vedic astrology is an important cornerstone of Vedic Shastra as a whole. As taken from Sanskrit language, one of the most ancient languages, Jyotish means illumination or light and Shastra means study. Hence Jyotish Shastra implies a study of illumination or light. In other words, Jyotish Shastra means the study which helps in eliminating the darkness and makes a pathway to the direction of divine light or wisdom, pure, superlative, absolute and dignified. Jyotish Shastra or Vedic astrology is envisaged by great ancient Indian scholars and sages, while they were at their super-conscious state of understanding, with a through knowledge of cognizing life beyond the boundary of time and space. In their super-conscious state, they understood that the cosmological forces of the planets function like reflectors or transmitters in the form of light energy. These light energies transmit the signals in different angles, and were found to have influence over the animate and inanimate beings, both at physiological and psychological levels.

It is assumed that the wise men monitored this influence and conducted experimentations on the basis of their observations with the intention of codifying into principles and standards which, in turn, turned out to be the laws depending on which Jyotish Shastra or Vedic astrology was evolved. Since the Vedas is a set of complete knowledge and wisdom based on holistic approach to life, it integrates every constituent of this understanding on the basis of the whole. All the components of Vedic astrology deal with the knowledge of Vedic philosophy incorporating the belief of dynamism and reinforcement of artistic orientation. The integrated understanding and philosophical point of reference to life sets contrast with the long lasting well-liked scientific approach advocated by Western belief and culture, which has cataloged life in the ever-changing form or fixation with one specific section or another. This uneven and scrappy perspective of life causes several isolated understanding of knowledge, but in strong conflict with one another, where science never goes at the same plate with religion, philosophical queries can not be answered by scientific principles, and so on. According to Vedic astrology and Vedic philosophy, individual awareness is explained as a composite form of understanding of all phenomena perceiving an individual’s life in the context of great entity or understanding, influence the Karma, as explained in Vedic philosophy. According to this belief, nothing precisely can simple avoid the ultimate consequence, the inescapable integrity and justice of nature or Supreme. This phenomenon is known as Karma. In other words, Karma is an understanding of the law of cause and effect, resembling Newton’s third law, “Every action has its opposite and equal reaction”. This law is actually very fundamental to the philosophy of Vedic Shastra.

interactions. Father-child bonds also tend to develop with respect to topics such as political views or money, whereas mother-child bonds tend to develop in relation to topics such as religious views or general outlooks on life. The relationship between father and son is in three stages. Up to 5th year of the son’s age he should be brought up as a prince. From the 6th year of age to 16th year of the son’s age he should be brought up as a slave. After the 16th year of the son he should be treated as the best friend to his father. The beginning of the teen age is always a problem. That too from the age of 16 to 19 the period is very tough. Only if the planets’ position in the horoscopes of father and son the boy will have a good relationship with the father. If not the son will go out of ways and he will have only wrong and harmful relationships. He won’t have a cordial relationship with the father. There is a fair chance for some kids to become as drug addicts. To avoid all these problems the horoscopes of both the father and son are to be checked as per the Atharva Vedic standards by Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam).

The relationship is normally viewed as a connection between two individuals, such as a romantic or intimate relationship, or a parent-child relationship. Among all those relationships some relationships are called as bonding relationship and some are called as non bonding relationships. Human bonding refers to the development of a close, interpersonal relationship between family members or friends. Bonding is a mutual, interactive process, and is not the same as simple liking. Bonding typically refers to the process of attachment that develops between romantic partners, close friends, or parents and children. This bond is characterized by emotions such as affection and trust. Paternal bonds tend to vary over the span of a child’s development in terms of both strength and stability. In fact, many children now grow up in fatherless households and do not experience a paternal bond at all. In general, paternal bonding is more dominant later in a child’s life after language develops. Fathers may be more influential in play-interactions as opposed to nurturanceSiddhi Times USA 38

If the planet Sun is not placed properly in the horoscope of the son there will be great problems in the relationship between the father and son. If the planets Saturn and Jupiter are not placed properly in the horoscope of the son, the relationship with the father will be with quarrels often. At times this will lead the departure of the son from the family. Atharva Veda has prescribed a lot of Atharva Veda Yaksha/Yakshini devathas to solve this problem. By properly worshipping the Yaksha/Yakshini devathas as per the directions of Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam) the problems in the relationship between the father and son are spiritually solved peacefully. There will be the most understanding and cordial relationship between the father and son.

By Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam)

The Atharva Vedic astrology has a lot of sub clauses in it. One of those clauses is dealing with the dreams. In Sanskrit it is called as “Swapna Saastram”. The dreams have many meanings. Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam) explains a lot about dreams on the basis of Atharva Veda. Let us read about this wonderful science through the words of Sri.Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam). The “Maha Rishi Kabala Muni”, one of the authors of Atharva Veda is one of the main disciples of the great sage Sri.Agasthiyar. He has written a wonderful Saastra/ theme about the dreams and their meanings, and the same is still in the old palm scripts and not yet published anywhere in the world. The palm scripts came to me from my “Maha guru Sri Chinnappa Siddhar” and being the Guru Parampara and the next successor of the Ashram, I had an opportunity to read and utilize the same for the benefits of the mankind. I like to give some important features about the Dreams exclusively for the readers, which I hope, are the most useful for all human beings. The dreams are so much connected to our future, or some times, it would be a warning for the expected problems. The dreams are divided in to 4 different segments of Dreams. One is at the time, which happens, immediately, as soon as we sleep. The second one happens at the mid night or called as rendaam jaamam. The 3 rd one occurs in the early morning. The 4 the one occurs in Siddhi Times USA 40

the afternoon or evening times. . We need not worry about any kinds of dreams come to us after the sun light and before the sun set. . The Dreams occur in the night always are related to our past life or to the last incarnation. The mid night dreams have got connection with our present life. The early morning dreams, lot of time related to our present life and lot of times, could be the warning for the forthcoming issues. Rishi Sri Kabala Muni has divided the dreams in to 74 parts, and even to my experience with my followers, devotees, all of their different kinds of Dreams are falling within the 74 segments. I would be able to give only crispy ideas here. Temple related dreams; If we see, a large temple, implies that, we are going to get miracles or excellent Gods’ grace very soon.

The rituals for the following Yaksha devathas are to be performed be at least seven learned scholars. The rituals should be performed only in a divine and auspicious place. The rituals are to be done as per the directions of Siddhar Swamiji. By adopting these one can become a successful businessman. The following Atharva Veda Yakshini Devathas are to be worshipped with the utmost dedication and devotion. The first Yakshini Devatha is Shodashi Devi. She is called Shodashi because she possesses all the sixteen Supernatural powers. Goddess Shodashi is the most enchanting beauty of all the ten great learning. Shodashi, who has the mantra consisting of sixteen letters, has organs glowing like a rising sun. She has four hands and three eyes. She is seated on the lotus, which is placed on the body of Shiva who is lying in a peaceful posture.

A business is a legally recognized organization designed to provide goods and/or services to consumers. One who owns a business is called as businessman. Each and every one who starts a business does not shine as a successful businessman. It is not that they are not capable of running a business. The horoscope and planet position in the horoscope make a n individual as a successful businessman. The 2nd, 10th, and the 11th houses, the owner of those houses and the planets occupying those houses decide the factor of a businessman. Atharva Veda explains a lot more about the business. Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar has done a vast research in Atharva Vedic astrology and he has written a lot of articles on this subject. The planetary positions cannot be changed. It is called as “Destiny’ or “Karma”. None can change it. But by proper Atharva Vedic Yaksha devathas rituals one can make this karma or destiny in a smooth way. The evilness of the planets can be removed and the same evil planets will be made as the best, by the Atharva Veda Yaksha/Yakshini Devathas. The worship of Atharva Veda Yaksha/ Yakshini devathas is called as ritual. There is a great difference between the regular prayer and rituals. Physically one may show many reasons for the loss in the business or closure of a business. But the fundamental base is only one. That fundamental base is astrology. If the planets and their positions are good, everything will go smooth and well. But if the planets and their positions are not well the entire things will be spoiled. There are many examples for the best businessmen, who have become the worst businessmen and lost everything they earned. All are not planned but when the planets’ positions change everything gets changed. What is the remedy for this? Atharva Veda is the only remedy and solution for this. The horoscope of the person is to be scrutinized by Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam). After scrutinizing the horoscopes he will prefer some Atharva Vedic Thantric rituals. Atharva Veda has wonderful mantras and rituals to bring up the Siddhi Times USA 44

She has a noose, a hook, a bow and an arrow in each of her hands. Eveready to shower blessings on her devotees, her appearance is completely cheerful and gentle. Her heart is full of compassion. A devotee who takes her refuge achieves great divinity like the deities. In fact her splendors are indescribable. Even the Vedas are incapable of describing her greatness. Being pleased with her devotee she gives more than he demands. The next Atharva Veda Yakshini Devatha is Siddhidatri. She is capable of giving all sorts of occult powers. According to Atharva Veda there are eight types of these powers - Anima, Mahima, Garima, Laghima, Prapti, Prakamya, Isitwa and Vasitwa. The number eight is given special consideration in Atharva Veda. The mother Siddhidatri is competent enough to give all Siddhis to the strivers and her devotees. According to Devi Purana the Lord Shiva acquired these powers only by the grace of this goddess alone. Only due to her grace the Lord Siva became Ardhanariswara. The mother Siddhidatri is four-armed. Her vehicle is lion. She is seated on a lotus flower. She holds a Chakra in her right lower hand and a mace in the upper. In the left lower hand there is a conch and in her upper left hand a lotus flower. By performing the rituals in a manner prescribed Swamiji Sri Siddhar and with his full faith the Sadhaka acquires all Siddhis. There remains nothing unattainable in the universe. He develops competency to conquer the whole universe. It is the duty of every person to always try to propitiate mother Siddhidatri and earn her favor. By her grace only a devotee crosses the ocean of miseries and remaining quite untainted, enjoying all worldly pleasures. By adopting the rituals prescribed by Swamiji Siddhar through the learned pundits in a holy place even the dull most businessmen can become the best businessmen.

correcting the negative thoughts rising in a human mind. By performing the rituals mentioned in Atharva Veda one can easily master the mind. There are some Yaksha/Yakshini Devathas. Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam) explains in detail about two Rudra forms of Lord Shiva as spiritual solution for the mind related and psychological problems. The first is Yoga Rudra, the second is Virinchi Rudra. Yoga Rudra. Once upon a time, the world was covered with darkness. The saint and sages called all the Rishis and studied the position and reason for the darkness. The community of demons was increasing and the light to the earth was decreasing. All the Rishis with Saint, ‘Pragadharana’ started the yagna (sacred Fire) and prayed the Lord Shiva for the rescue of universe. Lord Shiva appeared before the yagna and put a part of him in the sacred fire. A kid called ‘Yoga Rudhra’ came from the yagna. He was very beautiful with a garland of pearl. With the benediction of this God, the mankind and devotees were able to get the light and heat to the world. Where there is darkness, the need of a Lamp is essential that Lamp is “Lord Shiva”. As he removed the darkness and saved the entire universe he will clear off all the darkness from the minds of his devotees. The psychological problems cause darkness in the human minds. Spiritual Solutions of Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar for Mind related problems. According to Atharva Veda, there are three kinds of thoughts. The first is positive, the second is negative and the third is neutral. The positive thoughts will be beneficial for the persons as well as the society. The neutral thoughts do neither good nor bad. But they are always dangerous to the society and they are harmful to themselves also. The psychological problems are worse than the physiological problems. The physiology problems will result only in physical disability but the psychological problems will result in social disability. One can survive with the physical disability but none can survive with the social disability. What are the reasons for a person to have the aforesaid problems? Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam) replies in a single word for this question. According to Atharva Veda the planets are the only reasons for the thoughts of a human being. If the planets like Sun, Venus and Jupiter are well placed in one’s horoscope or astrological chart, that person will be only with positive thoughts. If the planets like Mars, Raaghu, and Saturn are powerful in one’s horoscope or astrological chart the concerned person will have only negative thoughts. If the planets Moon, Mercury and Kethu are well placed in one’s horoscope that person’s thoughts will be neutral. What is the spiritual solution for correcting the human mind? The correction of the planetary positions through the Atharva Veda Thantric rituals to the Atharva Veda Yaksha/Yakshini Devathas as per the direction of Swamiji Sri.Selvam Siddhar (Dr. Commander Selvam) is the only spiritual solution for

Virinchi Rudra: We can observe an excellent view in the form of Virinchi Rudhra Moorthy. Lord Shiva is seen here just like Lord Brahma. The word “Virinchi” has a close connection to the task of creation. Lord Brahma, the creator of human beings and other lives on earth. He is the authority for knowledge and wisdom. The sensitivity to all beings and plants is bestowed by Lord Brahma. Whole creations of stars earth and worlds are being the conducts of ‘Trimoorthy’. Three great Lords in unity take care of the functioning. So the joint establishments are exposed every where in several types of idols. Here Lord Shiva is dressed with silk and has the ‘Rudhraksha’ and a small pot with holy water. He appears like Lord Brahma. His benevolent presence is with full of knowledge and wisdom. Virinchi gives the meaning of blossom. Every body’s knowledge will have to attain the fertility. This Virinchi Rudra enlightens the minds of his devotees. He improves the creative thinking of his devotees. The increase of the creative thinking clears off all the psychological problems. To solve your

A small idea about

Vedic Astrology invented by the Siddhars Sanskrit language is powerfully suggested for captivating the optimal benefit of this reading in this particular subject.

The word ‘planet’ has been taken as ‘graham’, zodiac as ‘rasi’ and house as ‘bhava’ or ‘sthana’.

Even though there are many branches of astrology, the Vedic Astrology is the most important and it is the oldest of all the techniques of astrology. Now let me explain about the Vedic Astrology. The essential ingredients of Vedic astrological study takes in the kind of nine planets or heavenly bodies as well as 12 zodiac signs and 12 houses of the astrological table. In other techniques of astrology the houses will be viewed only in a few angles. But in Atharva Vedic astrology each house is to be viewed in 12 different angles. In total the horoscope is to be viewed for 144 angles. This gives the most accurate readings and predictions. Atharva Vedic Astrology is actually founded on the rich legacy of ancient Hindu society and philosophy. A clear perceptive and proficiency in Siddhi Times USA 52

Depending on the earthly situation or grahabasthana of the birth time, Siddhi Times USA 54

the transmitting of the graph is accomplished. Conversely, forecast of astrological diagram absorbs an in-depth learning of the controls of unusual graham or planets in dissimilar rasis or zodiac. The scrutiny of a horoscope or birth chart not only needs the knowledge of astrology but it needs vast practical knowledge also. More than these things the blessings of the Yaksha/Yakshini devathas are needed. Only with the blessings all predictions will become the most accurate.

Dhanur:

Even though your sign Lord, Lord Jupiter is in debilitation, Lord Saturn is likely to reach 10th square. This will give good improvement in job and trade. Lord Mercury, the Lord of 7th and 10th house is in exaltation. This is one way a big challenge and other way the profession uplifts are possible. Financially Lord Raaghu as well as debilitated Lord Jupiter will not favor you. You can cover your targets only with all sorts of arrangements and adjustments. Since Lord Mars in 7th sign, your privacy or times with sweet heart or spouse are all limited and gives disappointment only. Fortune House and peternal blessings are there but Lord Saturn disturbs to postpone the entire affair. Spouses and sweet hearts are not having good privacy and happy times. Even if it is tried, the delay and postponement will occur. This month is with mixed trend of good and uneasiness.

Magaram:

When the situation is foreseen all kinds of vigil and preventive methods are to drown. The thoughts on pleasure or happy times will reduce.

You have to speak the smooth and flexible words only. Irritation and anger will come and even the quarrels are possible. On Saturdays pray to Lord Saturn. If any thing happens contrary to your expectation, you have to make yourself calm and mix with situation. All people from children, elders, professionals, lovers will be really the sufferers.

For Magaram people good times are heading little by little.

They have to worship Lord Saturn and get his grace.

Your sign Lord, Lord Saturn and the 8th house Lord, Lord Sun join in 8th House. This reveals the the fact, that the terrible load of duty bound commitments are heading for clearance. All these 2 ½ years, so called as Ashtama sani (Saturn in the 8th house) is getting relieved. You are going to find the brightness and success little by little. The occupant of your sign, Lord Jupiter aspects your 5th, 7th and 9th Houses. This is good and supporting trend for all your proceedings. A scene of green signal to your efforts and better prospects are likely to come little by little.

Lord of sign Lord Saturn and the Lord of 7th sign Lord Sun sit jointly in 7th House. This is a position of some what complicated drama. The affairs are going against your will.

The holiest Priests of the holiest Temple.

Meenam:

An unsettled trend will be the scene in the attempts created. Your sign lord, Lord Jupiter is in debilitation. As your sign Lord is so powerless, he puts you answerable for the commitments. Lord Mercury is powerful. He is projecting some of the events which you could not manage. Such are the time for the September is engaged. Finance, plan to meet out, time fixed for settlement, are not coinciding with program. All because of the debilitate status of Lord Jupiter. This month, you have to take care during travels. Generally kandaka Sani, ie Lord Saturn in 7th square to your sign may give sickness, or minor accidents. Regarding education of Students, they can proceed well. Children will be restless and tired. You have to give them the proper vitamins, minerals and feed them with fruits. Lovers and their trend will not be good for another week. Spouses and their health questions are little dragging with weakness. Till January 2010, the time will be fluctuating and certain fortunes are also likely to come. Traders and job goers can see only a very normal situation.

A priest is a person having the authority or power to administer religious rites for the betterment of the entire human race. The prayers are of various types. They are Poojas, Prayers and Rituals. Pooja is an important part and important daily routine of a human being. The Pooja is the Thanks Giving for the Almighty god. The rituals are to be performed to have spiritual salvation from a problem. According to Hindu Philosophy, there are four Vedas namely Rig Veda, Yajur Veda, Sama Veda and Atharva Veda. The first three Vedas explain the power of God or Almighty or Super human power. The Atharva Veda is the only Veda which tells the utilization of the power of the super human power to have spiritual salvation from the problems faced by the human beings. Mostly, the Temples all around the world will be based either on the first two Veda, Sivagamas or Vaishnava Agamas. But Shiva Vishnu Temple (Hindu Temple of Georgia) is the only Temple that follows the principles of Atharva Veda. The priests of Shiva Vishnu Temple are highly knowledge, well learned and well trained in performing poojas, prayers and rituals. The basic qualification of a priest is that the priest should be able to perform the routine poojas of the temples and help the people to maintain thw tradition. This needs enormous training also. The knowledge of any vedic scripture is useless if the priest is unable to work with a smiling face. The priests should always have a mentality of dedication and devotion. The priests of Shiva Vishnu Temple are well learned, well trained, well cultured and highly dedicative personalities. The happiest photos of the learned scholars adorn the cover page of this month.
