You have the veto power

Those who are determined to do, they do. Those who don’t want to do from their core, they find millions of reasons for not doing. I have found this very true in innumerable situations.

The story that made a deep impact

During my childhood, one story left a deep mark on my mind. In a kingdom, as the corruption went high, the Gods decided to create drought there for seven years. One year of drought passed and the people were suffering. One day, Lord Shiva and goddess Parvati in disguise, were traveling through this kingdom. They saw one farmer walking through his field, cleaning and oiling his plough. Lord Shiva got curious and asked him, ‘Your royal astrologer has told that there will be drought for seven years and only one year has passed. You won’t be able to do cultivation till rains come. So why are you doing this?’

The farmer replied, ‘Yes, that is true. But I have to do my duty. If I become lazy and don’t take care of my tools, when the rain comes, I won’t be able to put in my best effort immediately.’

The story goes that Lord Shiva was very pleased with the farmer’s answer and blessed the place with immediate rain.

The role of horoscope

I come from Kerala, where we have many awesome astrologers. I know that my father’s ( he himself had some knowledge of astrology) horoscope was written by a famous astrologer and every major event in his life happened at the exact time it was written. Like the post graduation he did in his forties and his car accident that happened when I was a teenager.

Later I realized from personal experiences that what the astrologer predicts is a possibility depending on the planetary positions and the mental/emotional/spiritual status of the person at that particular time. If he/she changes his outlook on life and elevates his/her inner level, they cease to be helpless victims of fate.

Another lease of life

One of my relatives did not believe in astrology and refused to get the horoscope matching checked before his arranged marriage. After his marriage his mother got it done any way and found that the girl’s horoscope predicted premature death of her husband. The husband indeed got a fatal disease, and his devoted wife was instrumental in getting him timely treatment and they are in their sixties now.

Sade Satti for the couple

Sade Satti is a very dreadful word for the common masses. When Saturn transits through the 12th, 1st, and 2nd house from the natal moon (where one's Moon is placed in the birth chart), it is termed Sade Satti. This is  a period with many challenges.

Once during a train journey, I came across this lovely lady in her late thirties. She was a Christian and she had a love marriage with a Hindu boy. His mother got her horoscope done and when the couple’s horoscopes were matched, they realized that both of them would be having Sade Satti at the same time, which will lead to their separation. Luckily it so happened that  before that period started, they both learned Pranic healing.

With moist eyes, she told me, ’Pranic healing  helped us to tide over the situation and we are now happy to be together with our toddlers.’

Nothing is written on the rock

Yes, nothing is written on the rock. But our belief that it is so will definitely make us puppets in the hands of fate. The strongest negative influence on our lives is our limiting beliefs.

You have the veto power

Every thing around has power, including the planetary positions. But your (jeevatma) power is more than that and the Universal energy’s (Paramatma) power can over rule any other influence. So we can exercise our power and by connecting with the Universal energy (by meditation, healing techniques or others), it can still be augmented, and we can  have a  happier and peaceful life.
