Now to the post. First of all, I want to Thank all my blog readers, who were part of my blog journey for the last three years. No. No. I am not stopping the blog.😊 But soon, I would be entering the fifth decade of my existence, here, in this material realm. I just wanted to express my deepest appreciation for all my blog readers and the grace, Brahman, the Universe has given me to be a guide/mentor/ teacher, in this lifetime. Yes, I had my own tough struggles, so that I become aware of my own potential and spiritual gifts. I have learnt deeply, it is always better to keep ourselves on life's good side, by  pursuing our deepest desires, talents and Dharma. So, here, I want to Thank all f

Way to the Soul!

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. Now to the post. Last week, we discussed how living from the heart is very different to living from the mind. Mind, if not connected to the heart can travel all over the mental space and never be able to focus. But if the mind is grounded in the heart and the desires are one pointed and focused, then the intentions can be drawn and dedicated actions can be taken upon. This is the dilemma, nowadays people are finding.  Above living from the mind, there are hundred things to distract us- internet, electronic gadgets, social media, news channels, television, social engagements, family and friends interactions, markets, trades, trends, global and local business space. Can you see how the mi

Heart versus the mind!

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. Now to the post. We have many times discussed the subjects of heart and mind, in this blog. As I am revealed new new concepts, I tend to write it in my blog. So, may be I have written about this previously. But definitely there may be something new I have to share; therefore I am being asked to share something from this topic. My perspective about the Soul and the being: This is my perspective that I am writing as I understand it. There may be other opinions and viewpoints. This is how I think of it nowadays. Each of us is a being that has at our core a heart that is deeply aligned with the Soul. Our Soul is the Universal being, who has gone through many many life times, even may be th

The Power of the Truth!

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. Now to the post. Last week, we discussed about the ob struction, Rahu, the shadow planet causes in the material realm, coming between the Sun, the truth and the Moon, the mind. In Hindu mythology, this was elaborated by the Samudra Mathana story, where Rakshasa encompassing Rahu and Kethu, Swayambharu, went and sat between Sun- the truth and Moon - the mind . This is about the greater metaphysical narrative. This story repeats within human societal and personal narratives. Only we as humans need to see this story playing out again and again. Let me give a few examples to show, how it happens in greater societal sense and later in an individual personal sense. Societal sense: Of course, I

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

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

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

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

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

Ganda Moola Nakshatra -The transformation!

Image
Hello all, Namaste! Hope all of you had a beautiful week where you were able to take all the disparate energies of your life, align it well towards the goals you have kept for your life. Last week we discussed the Nakshatra 'Moola' and how there are many social misconceptions associated with it's energies. Today let us discuss another aspect associated with Moola nakshatra and the house it sits in, which bring a more fear for those who know a slight bit of Astrology. It is called 'Ganda Moola' and Moola is one of the Ganda Moola lunar mansions. So this concept for Moola is called a 'Ganda Moola'.  What is Ganda Moola? In Astrology there are houses, and each house brings the energy of fire, earth, water, and air. Most of you know the Astrology houses, I assume. So according to the energies mentioned above the different house energies are- 1, Fire houses - Aries (Mesha), Leo (Simha), Sagittarius (Dhanus) 2, Earth houses - Taurus (Vrishabha), Virgo (Kan
