Emotional balance during the Covid times!

Image
Hello all, Namaste! I want to let my blog readers know about my new website- swaroopa.net. Very simple id, not the complicated blog id address. Now to the post. For the last few weeks, we discussed the spiritual powers waiting for us in case we are ready to access it. We humans don't consider ourselves strong, powerful, spiritual beings. Instead, we tend to live from our mind, considering ourselves very weak, not up to the task of living. So, the spiritual power series was to make ourselves aware how much more we are above the physical body we encompass. As a whole, humanity is hurting during the pandemic. For the last seventy-some years, the world has not seen a sickness/disease/metaphorical war of these proportions. So, it is natural for humans to wish and hope for things to go back to normal as we had before. The way this can affect us physically, mentally and emotionally made me write this post. Social creatures- Hunter/gatherers: We humans are social creatures. Even fro

Spiritual power- Part 8!

Image
Hello all, Namaste! I want to let my blog readers know about my new website- swaroopa.net. Very simple id, not the complicated blog id address. Now to the post. Last few weeks, we had been discussing numerous kinds of spiritual powers waiting for us in case, we are ready to go within and find ourselves. We discussed about conscience and how it keep us solidly within the correct tracks of our life, if we prefer to listen. We also talked about how we should first follow our intuition, then take charge of our mind-both emotional and logical and bring the best of both worlds into our life. The creativity of the emotions and the logic of the intellect.  But, have we noticed? Has the logical mind overtaken the emotional mind? Look at the modern day world. We are behind facts, what is the politically correct, what would give us the most say in a matter. How to be intellectually dominant, always. But in that run for intellectual dominance, are we leaving the humility and humanity behi

Spiritual power- Part 7!

Hello all, Namaste! I want to let my blog readers know about my new website- swaroopa.net. Very simple id, not the complicated blog id address. Now to the post. Last few weeks, we had been discussing numerous kinds of spiritual powers waiting for us in case, we are ready to lead a path of our own Dharma. What is Dharma?According to Wikipedia , "In Hinduism, dharma signifies behaviors that are considered to be in accord with Ṛta , the order that makes life and universe possible, and includes duties, rights, laws, conduct, virtues and "right way of living". This is totally true. But this definition I feel is according to the society we live in. Now, let us expand on it. Dharma: In my mind, this concept expands more like this. Each of us have come to this Earth realm with our own set of unique talents, passions, interests, our own family, DNA, ancestors, mind and faculties. Among these lies our heart, the inner most core. Here each of us has a truth, a deepest

Spiritual power- Part 6!

Image
Hello all, Namaste! I want to let my blog readers know about my new website- swaroopa.net. Very simple id, not the complicated blog id address. Now to the post. Last few weeks, we have been discussing the way spiritual power works, and how our inner truth has a big say in our life and how we get spiritual protection. All these levels are very important for us to lead a deep spiritual and authentic life. But many times while living our life, we start to put on masks and personas, which overshadows our inner truth. Now, we start to live a very inauthentic or a fake existence. This takes a toll on our mental as well as physical life. We have no idea what we are missing out by being inauthentic. We didn't come to this material realm to live an ordinary, every day life. We came here to understand and learn deep lessons that help to evolve our Soul. Without any concern for this, when we just live a materialistic life, we lose touch with ourselves. This leads to loss of meaning

Moola Nakshatra - A Curse or a blessing?

Image
As mentioned last week let us discuss the characteristic of the nakshatra, Moola and whether it needs to be feared as many in the society do. Before that, two weeks back we discussed what are Nakshatras and why they are calculated according to the placement of the Moon in the horoscope. In the Nakshatra group, when starting from Ashwini nakshatra, Moola comes as the nineteenth nakshatra. Now, why am I writing this post? What is so special about Moola Nakshatra? This post is an afterthought to the fact that in South India in some communities, there are two proverbs prevalent about the Moola Nakshatra. One is, "Aan Moolam arasalum, Pen Moolam Nirmoolam." Meaning- If a man is born in the Moola Nakshatra, he would rule the kingdom. If a woman is born in the Moola Nakshatra, she would uproot her base or home (in other words, she would destroy her home). The second proverb is "Moolathu mamiyar moolayile." Meaning- The mother-in-law of the Moola nakshatra becomes a

Kannagi - The incensed lady!

Image
Wishing all a fantastic week where you are able to put into actions the deeds needed to capture your true authentic Self and purpose. Every step we take intentionally leads to that greater realm and once we really figure out our true purpose the doors that open for us are grander and lovelier. The last couple of weeks we discussed two strong mythological ladies who stood strong on their principles, spoke their mind and are true and authentic examples of the divine feminine. Why don't we this week analyze a third lady who due to her anger and rage burnt down an entire city? This story comes in the Tamil history and mythology called 'Silapathikaram' (The tale of an anklet) where a very angry lady, Kannagi took to task the King as well as the city that did injustice to her. The anger of a lady when she feels truly deprived of justice is something to be fearful about. That is why Durga in the form of the protectress is worshipped even by the trinity of Gods in Hinduism, B

Ashwathama - A lesson to be learned!

Image
Before starting this post, I want to reminisce a bit on our Blog journey. Last year in 2017, it was on Kerala (a state in India) New Year Day called Vishu, I published my first post. This year Saturday (April 14, 2018) is Vishu. So it has been one year since I started my writings. At this moment, I would like to Thank all,  for the encouragement I got from my immediate family, extended family, friends, blog readers and the greater world. It is your comments. views and encouragement that helps me to post every week topics that I assume to be important. I would also very much like to interact with my readers as well. If you feel any Moral, Ethical, Mythological, Philosophical, Astrological topic worth pondering on, please let me know through comments and I would try a stab at it. Thank you for a wonderful and inspirational year. Wishing all a very Happy Vishu! Namaste! Now to the post. Last week, we discussed a bit on the spiritual law of justice through the post of Kannagi , how du

Satyam Vada! Dharmam Chara! (Speak your truth! Walk your purpose!)

Image
Hello all, Namaste! All of you, my dear blog readers, know about my website- swaroopa.net . I have started my business, Swaroopa store , which can be accessed from Shop tab on my website, for Souls who are interested in a personal reading. There is also the Swaroopa Store link, on my blog's left side. Now to the post. We have been dealing with a lot of philosophy for a long time. So, thought, why don't we discuss some leadership concepts by virtue of Saturn. Any way, the US is going to go through a momentous election, in another three weeks. So, thought, why don't we discuss some leadership perspectives? To make matters a bit interesting, I thought we would discuss it through the eyes of Saturn. Who is Saturn? In astrology (always Vedic astrology in this blog), Saturn is the time keeper. He is also the ruler of the material realm. In Hindu mythology, he was the son of Sun, and his mother, Chaya, the shadow of Sun's wife Samjhna. Once, Sun became very bright and she

Draupadi -The bold Queen!

Image
Hope all of you are having a great week where you find the inner strength deep hidden within you to traverse the tough or challenging circumstances that could have been placed in your path. Every single experience in this earthly existence is a little bit more to know truly who we ourselves are. But many times in the chaos of the material realm we forget to capture the true essence of every experience. Last week we delved into the realm called 'Collective Unconscious' where all the historical experiences and the struggles we as humankind had to go through gets recorded in the human collective psyche as the 'Collective Unconscious'. The struggles we are going through with the fundamentalist movements all over the world can be looked at as an example of the 'Collective Unconscious' trying hard to prevent us from taking a wrong step towards progression lest we are wiped out as a race. But then the 'Collective Unconscious' also has no knowledge of the ne

Kanyakumari - A Goddess waiting!

Image
Wishing all a good week where you are able to pursue the next step towards the growth of your soul purpose. Last three weeks we dealt with some issues that are affecting the current world today.This week let us come back to Mythology and tackle the last Goddess/lady, whom we were planning to tackle for a long time. As mentioned before, in Vedic mythology, ladies were also very much important and part of the stories that were weaved together. In last week's post as well as the Ardhanariswara post, we tackled how the divine masculine, as well as the divine feminine, is much important to bring out the whole whether in the case of the individual or that of the world itself. So to show the importance of these concepts, many times stories of Shiva (divine masculine) and Parvathi (divine feminine) have been written, where one is longing for the other. In most of the stories Shiva and Parvathi, become together and the wholeness is restored. But there is also a story where the divine

Ardra nakshatra - The inconsolable human!

Image
In this new year to help people, I am putting a sale on my readings. I have reduced the prices drastically 70-80%. Hope people take advantage of this price reduction.  As life was interfering, I was not able to write for the last three weeks. Also, the personal readings on my store are catching up slowly. That also keeps me away from writing. But I decided this week, I need to write and post a blog. As per the amazing response and comments I got for Moola, a Kethu ruled nakshatra, this time I thought I would tackle Ardra or Thiruvathira(i) in Malayalam/ Tamil, a Rahu ruled nakshatra. And today of all the days, the nakshatra under which I am writing this blog post is exactly Thiruvathirai or Ardra in the lagna of the current place chart where I am. Lagna is the physical form taking shape of the Ardra blog. Numerology: We have discussed Rahu many times. According to my perspective, Rahu is the grand illusion of the material world or Maya. Every human and even celestial beings get ti
