Discourse on the Moon, Jyotiṣa, and Spiritual Constellations

Jyotiṣa centers on the Moon and its constellations, not the Sun.

An eclipse releases negative energies; avoid looking and cleanse thoroughly afterward. The moon holds true significance in Jyotiṣa; solar systems are disregarded. Moon constellations determine auspicious moments for conception, bestowing health and beauty. Birth constellations shape emotional bonds, where a partner may provide parental-like dedication. Precise predictions arise from Jyotiṣa; a father once foretold his son's renunciant path from the stars. Checking constellations before travel is essential. A missing element in an alignment can act like an arrow, nullifying favorable signs. Authentic Jyotiṣa knowledge originates from Grahācārya, not universities. Grahācārya arranged the marriage of Śiva and Pārvatī. The Sapta Ṛṣis are seven stars, source of many ṛṣis like Gagāchārya. In Kaliyuga, compatibility fractures as constellations misalign. Without Jyotiṣa guidance, worldly disorder spreads. The Bhagavad Gītā remains the unchanging scripture to be studied. Full moon gatherings include bhajans and prayer. The aspiration to learn Jyotiṣa persists, though some are told it is unnecessary. Travel plans shift to Strilky for an extended stay.

"There are two through the moon. That is very good and real. Others, maybe in Western countries, say the sun, but that is nothing good. But the moon."

"When an eclipse occurs, for a while there is no true sun, yet nothing is permitted to look at the sun while it is, as they say, dark. For the eyes, it is very harmful; you should not see it."

When an eclipse occurs, for a while there is no true sun, yet nothing is permitted to look at the sun while it is, as they say, dark. For the eyes, it is very harmful; you should not see it. And also, do not sit somewhere in the open and look. There are many negative energies, so the eclipse does not last long. It is dark and very bad. Many say that all our clothes, when we are outside and that black energy comes from the sun, absorb so much negative energy, very, very much. And when the sun comes out again, clean, at that time we should wash all our clothes, we should also wash ourselves, we should cleanse ourselves, the whole body. Some people wash everything and then give it to others, maybe the poor or something like that, but you have to clean it first and then give it. As long as the sun has a shadow, you should not see it; it is bad for our eyes. And the moon has changed twice. Five days, or how do you say it, twelve days, and twelve days. And on both sides we all say, we make a praṇām, like a ceremony. The moon has a great deal of energy, and others do too, but it is a little different. So in Jyotiṣa, Jyotiṣa goes with the Moon, the constellations of this Moon. It is very important through Jyotiṣa. There are two through the moon. That is very good and real. Others, maybe in Western countries, say the sun, but that is nothing good. But the moon. Even it is said, according to the moon, when should one have the auspicious time? When do you want a man or a woman to have a sound constitution? Not only that, she or he is healthy or very beautiful or something like that. It may not be happy for the whole life, but from these moon constellations, it says yes. But it is also said when the girls were born, when the boys were born, and when and what ceremonies they performed, and so much, so much. Then, one says, it is a man and a woman. Emotionally they may be on the same side, but as a feeling, sometimes it will be like father and mother. So much love, but I do not have to say that it is really like mother and children, but the woman gives so much dedication. Love is fine, but dedication, and also the man, there is so much dedication as there is in the father. And the children, whatever they have, will also come into the best constellation. Śrī Śrī... And the Jyotiṣa is very good. The Jyotiṣa was really good and precise. My father, my brother Vigaram—my brother Vigaram was told that this would happen on this day. This and that will happen. Śāntī, you know your Vighrahaṃ, right? Yes. Holī Gurujī too. I did not take the Jyotiṣa. But Holī Gurujī said, “Maheśvarānanda, you do not need any Jyotiṣ, you have everything.” I said, “No, Gurujī, I have to do something.” He said, “No, no, everything that I have, Mahāprabhujī has made everything clear for you.” But still, the constellations are very, very important. When we go somewhere, the next day or the day after, wherever we go, we should see the constellations and then go. Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā Mahāprabhujī kī Karatā... Yes, nine moons, nothing at all. The next day, or the third day, comes again. And that means that one day is night, that is the sun, and then there is the sun and the moon. When it comes like this, then of course the light is too strong from the sun, and the moon is there. And then a little more comes. We know all this very well. And the best, the best constellation, everything you have is silver, not gold. Sometimes, not the sun, not the gold, not this, but iron. And in iron, we must have a ring, but we must know when, otherwise it can also become negative on the other side. Constellations—these are the twelve constellations, which are born when. I am a lion. I am a lion. Others also have someone else, others, others, everything. And my constellation is a lion and something else, Holi Gurudeva, and my brother said the two are, and then my father said, “Either they will not live long, they will die, or they will go back and forth and they will not be.” A horde, they will be sannyāsīs, spirituals, and that will be. My father said, when I was very small, he said to my mother, “Your son, he will go away and he will become a Naiṣṭhika.” So in this constellation, when you look at things, there is a science inside us. And you can also learn, and you can say exactly, but not just that, okay? He says, at this time, it is exactly the moon when the sun goes down. Now we still have the sun. And in winter, when does the sun go down? What time does it go down? Five or four? Five. And when does the sun rise? At seven, and in the summer, it is a completely different side. And that gives great energy, and everyone knows what it should be. So, someone says they do Jyotiṣ and so on, but it does not work. And when we say, okay, there is a constellation in the moon, and that is not good, and so on. But Jyotī says, everything is fine, but one thing is missing. That means like an arrow. So an arrow comes and takes everything away. And then the constellation is the best there. And so when we see, not only on that day there, but in the newspaper, in the news, in my family: my father, my father’s father, my brother, and my brother’s son, and others. But now they have gone to school and they want to work, and so on and so on. They do not know anything. There are only two brothers left: my grandchildren, and one is my nephew, my father, and my grandson. They were good, and then the second one, who is still here, is good, not so, but 90% is good. He is also very good. And now my brother says to you, and in this corona, he died now, two and a half months ago. He was there, but now no one is in this house. But people come and they only say, “Panditjī, please say it will be good.” And okay, they come and so on. My father, my uncle’s father, the two families then became one, and there is still one who is there, and he is perfect. He speaks, and he has also learned Sanskrit very, very well. So for everything, when someone needs this constellation or something, then I call my uncle, and he gives us the old knowledge. Others, but not so, it goes slowly, slowly. The other people who have studied in universities and so on, they have this Jyotiṣ, but a university or any city cannot provide it. It is from Grahācārya, Maharṣi Grahācārya. Maharishi Gṛgacharya is Jyotiṣa, and Śiva and Pārvatī’s marriage was arranged through him—not a seminar, but something like that. Graghacharya had united Śiva and Pārvatī; Graghacharya also served Kṛṣṇa’s father, and Kṛṣṇa’s—the son of Kṛṣṇa is Kṛṣṇa’s. And they received all the ceremonies from Gagacharya. And there are the Ṛṣis, the Sapta Ṛṣis. Sapta Ṛṣi means seven great holy ṛṣis. And the Sapta Ṛṣis are said to be seven stars. And there they are for us. Here is another one. And from there, the seventh ṛṣis, and from the seventh ṛṣis come, like the children, more ṛṣis. And from these ṛṣis, Gagāchārya is one of them. And from there, how many Gagācāryas, constellations were given, and where these people were born. He Kevalam He Kevalam... And these are from the Gagāchāryas, many, many. They are everywhere. Where are they? No, they will only be higher, or we say, greater, with this constellation or this one from the Gagacharyas, which ṛṣis, and from there they will be more, and otherwise not. But now, what he said in the Kaliyuga: from some ṛṣis, and from some ṛṣis, the others—how many ṛṣis I have brought with me, and then the others—this is nothing, but the others, these are more, from this and that, hila hulu sab. That is how you say it in German, in Ṛṣi, in British, or this. What do you do when you make ṛṣi and rice and this and that? How do you say it? Yes, but what is it called? Ṛṣi Bisi. Ṛṣi Bisi. Exactly. Yes. The other one is Ṛṣi Bisi, so that they have no problem. This man does not fit, and the other one, the girl, they do not fit either. They only have, emotionally, they said, “Yes, they are young and so on, and they were together.” But even the children do not fit, and the mother or... The father, they are different, and so we see where is the mother, and where is the father, and where are the children, and what else will be? So, this Jyotiṣa is a very good way to learn Jyotiṣa. I always think that I want to learn Jyotiṣ again. My uncle from Nepal, he is very old now, my father’s age they were, and I, he said also when I asked him, “Give me your Jyotiṣmī,” he takes into his mind and he said, “I cannot. You are.” I said, no, no, do not tell me, please. But I worked for him, and his son is a professor, and he has now been retired for ten years, ten months. But he does not have any Jyotiṣ Śomas. Yet he sees them. He sees them. And he sees many of them. Some have done this and got married, and so on. But they have seen the constellations, and so is the moon. And that is why we say full moon and dark moon. And others. So that was today. And I think there are many, many who have Jyotiṣ very, very much, yes, but it is, how do you say, this and that, and then you say, yes, this is important, this is the new, new generation, yes, and the new generation does everything, whatever, blim-blam, blim-trig, and so it is. It is also said that you should choose the color of your clothes, and when you should marry, how, what, the color, and so on. Many, many things. And the husband and the wife come like a mother and child, father and child. A family, good, very good, and if we do not go through the Jyotiṣmā, we see problems everywhere in the whole world. It is a problem, it is a busyness, so today is full moon, and I think I will say, or someone, my uncle, I should say. Somebody can come for ten months, or really, really, or ten months, or ten months... And then we continued like this. When he died, we had a doctor, a professor, and many others, all very great scientists. But when they do not know, they have only written, and it is gone. His picture is beautiful on the wall, but he is not there. And then we will be in his letters that he wrote. We have given them in there, and it is also like this. The best thing to hear is the Bhagavad Gītā. Bhagavad Gītā, no one can change it, no one can change it. Bhagavad Gītā. And it should be like this for all of us to learn and come to it. So I think I will do it, no matter if there are only five or ten people coming. Come for one year, and then it will continue to come back. I think that is very important, very, very, very important. Okay, today is full moon, and that is why I wanted to see you on the full moon. And now we will have one prayer or bhajan. Dr. Shanti sings the bhajans, okay, or one or two. Then we have prayer, and then tomorrow I will go to the Czech Republic, to Strilky. I think I will be there for two months or six months, yes, yes, because we have no other programs. We have a big hall or something because of the Corona; otherwise, they went to Hungary and they went to Croatia, they went to Slovenia. They want the Ukrainians, they want the Germans, they want Africa, and they are already born in the skin. Ablaida Indije, Corona is extinct. In Australia, my child, again I have to come to Australia, but I cannot. And again, Slovenia, New Zealand, and Fiji, they are part of Mixia. Jai Śrī Alakhpurījī, Siddha Pīṭha Paramparā, kī jai. Viśvaguru, Mahāmaṇḍaleśvara, Paramahaṁsa, Mahāśvarānandajī, Gurudeva, kī jai.
