Break the box-Part 1!

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. Wishing all my blog readers a very Happy Thanksgiving. Thank you for reading my blogs. Thank you for analyzing the concepts with your own mind. Only if there is someone to read or analyze or listen, words have power. Otherwise words are just words, a jumbled lot that makes no sense. So, finally Thank you for sharing your mind for the time you read my blog. That is a precious gift of sharing you are giving to me. Thank you. May you have a lovely holiday! Now to the post. Last week we discussed how we have to become an Eagle and look at our own life from a very high perspective. Before that we discussed the importance of the present moment of 'Now' where the highest potential for any action lies. Even though, humans never realize, each of our life is a garland of lot of present moments. Our life turns out according to how we use

Last week, we discussed how we have to flow with our life and it should feel like a gentle stream meandering through the mountains and valleys of our life. Water is the very best example that comes to mind. It is a formless liquid. Any time it is put in a container, it takes the shape of the container. But the second it is taken out of the container, it takes the liquid form. Our l

The flow of life!

Last week, we discussed how our intuition comes as the divine guidance to show us our path through the jungle called life. But many times we find it utmost difficult to trust ourselves. We were very good at trusting ourselves during our childhood. But then years of familial, societal and cultural conditioning made us to trust more our outer reality than our inner reality. Yes, we do h

Intuition- The divine guidance!

Hello all, Namaste!   I want to let my blog readers know about my new website- swaroopa.net. It came live on Vijayadasami day, the last day of Navrathri, 7th of October 2019. This is my way of offering my services to anyone who needs it. The details are described on the website. The actual service offering may take another few months while I figure out the remaining technical details. Now to the post. Last week, we discussed Prakruthi, Purusha, and the deep connection between them. One is complementary to the other. Above that, one is incomplete without the other. Once we understand the dual nature of this physical existence, we can try to work with these energies. But these energies are Universal energies. It is not easy to deal with them or tackle them. Many times we humans spend our life swinging from one end of the spectrum, the Purusha, fire and  passion to the other end of the spectrum, Prakruthi, tears and emotions. Our life becomes a trapeze show trying to balance the

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
