Amitabh Bachchan : Unlocking the Puzzle

Amitabh Bachchan, BBC's Star of the millennium,and the Megastar of indian cinema is like a puzzle for budding astrologers.

His horoscope is quite complicated for a layman.We start to unlock this puzzle with his recent illness.
He was in Lucknow on the occasion of his father late Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan's jayanti celebration on 27th of November 2005.
The very next day he had to admit in the Escorts hospital in Delhi for the complaints of abdominal pain.
The day was Monday,nakshatra was Chitra and the Moon was passing through his natal Moon in Libra.
Nakshatra caught my attention as it was the nakshatra of Mars,who incidentally was retrograde and passing through the 7th house of his Moon.
Chitra is considered to be a good nakshatra as far as remedies and doing things to improve one's health is concerned.
Amitabh was lucky to be admitted in Chitra nakshatra.Let's have a look at the horoscope when he was admitted in Lilavati hospital in Bombay.

Cancer Ascendant was rising at the time with retrograde Saturn placed in it.It was aspected by Mars and Rahu there in lagna.
This was not a good situation at all and was clearly showing the surgery.There was another indication of changing the doctors or the method of
medication, which incidentally may be materialized in future, and Mr. Bachchan may have to seek further diagnosis somewhere else in the months to come.

Look at the horoscope of Amitabh Bachchan.He was born on 11th October 1942, at 3.51 P.M. at Allahabad.
Aquarius ascendant was rising with vargottama navamasha at the time with Ketu placed in lagna itself.
Saturn being the lagna lord is strongly placed in 4th house in friendly sign Taurus without being aspected by malefics or benefics.
Right now Mr. Bachchan is passing through the dasha of Mercury which is nearing at it's end.Saturn's sub-period in Mercury is currently running.

One thing which caught my attention is Ketu's transit through the 8th house where his Sun,Venus,Mars and mahadasha lord Mercury are placed..
Ketu from there was also aspecting antardasha lord Saturn and Pratyantar dasha lord Venus. Even a layman can understand the gravity
of the situation which the eminent doctors at Escorts failed to see or comprehend.They just described it a normal stomach pain.Nobody knows whether
the doctors came to know everything and was hiding it from media so that rumours could be stopped to spread.Who really knows ?

The 8th house is the house of chronic diseases which suddenly come to surface.
As far as my knowledge of medical astrology goes , it seems to be a malignant kind of thing, a very muck like a cancerous growth in his stomach.
I consider this illness no less then the accident in 1982.I give you the reason behind this.At the time of that fatal accident Amitabh was passing through the antar-dasha of Moon in the mahadasha of Saturn.Both his Saturn and Mars were passing through the same house the 8th house,and the same nakshatra, the Hasta from where Ketu is passing through right now.Moon is his 6th lord, the planet of accident and illness and was making the shadashataka (6th\8th) relationship with mahadasha lord Saturn.Jupiter was passing through the natal Mon at both time and that saved Mr. Bachchan from death like situation.

Now as Mr. Bachchan has been operated upon, our task is to find out what will be in store as far as his health in future is concerned.

Ketu has still been transiting through that place until October end in 2006.Another major surgery can not be ruled out and I suspect that Mr. Bachchan
is anywhere around fit for his shooting schedule.He has to cut down the pace and amount of his work.

Another thing is the wrong time chosen for his discharge from the hospital.I am sure no vedic scholar would have advised this time as a good muhurta.
As per the media reports, this muhurta was chosen as per the advice of some numerologist.
Look at the blunder he made.

I understand that one can not choose the time and date of admission in the hospital, but you may very well choose the time and date of discharge from the hospital.

At the time of discharging Aquarius ascendant was rising,which happens to be the ascendant of Mr. Bachchan also.This is very bad muhurta to choose.
The nakshatra was Ardra and the day was Saturday and these are not considered good as far as recovery from an illness is concerned.
The ascendant lord Saturn was placed in 6th house, may be considered good but what about the aspect of Mars and Rahu over Saturn there in the 6th house.

Is this not the indication of another surgery?.The retrogression of Venus the pratyantar dasha lord on 24th of December, may be the cause of surfacing few complications in the process of recovery.Further the transit of Mars over the Saturn in the months of Feb and March may catapult the need of another surgery.

The power of blessings and good wishes is really incomprehensible for a finite mind.It was always a amazing thing for me, why the whole nation
praying for him to recover from his illness.Can one understand or comprehend the power behind these blessings and good wishes ?
He was miraculously saved once in 1982 and now also he will be saved from this chronic illness just because more then 100 carore people are behind him.
He is truly blessed a person and I ,in my entire life, with my whole experience in astrology hardly count this kind of blessed persons on my fingers.

We now intend to unlock the puzzle further and analyze Amitabh's chart in full details.

As we know that he was born when Aquarius lagna was rising with vargottama navamsha.

His rahu or moon sign is Libra.Both his rashi and lagna are airy signs and Ketu's placement in lagna in an airy saturnine sign gave him an unusual height of 6.3'.
Aquarius is a philosophical sign and gives birth to the personality whose sufferings and difficulties are extremely karmic and aimed at teaching powerful lessons.


8th house is considered to be a mystical sign in a horoscope.It preserves very deep meanings in itself.It can produce genius in certain circumstances.
On one hand it can represent severe chronic diseases or injuries leading to death, and the other hand it can produce miracles to save the life from the clutches of death.That is the mysticism behind this house.This house is the deep and sleep ocean and if in any case it gets activated it can produces miracles.
Amitabh's life is no less then a miracle if you wish to understand why the entire nation loves him.

Amitabh has as many as 4 planets in it.It is one of the most activated house of his horoscope.He has Sun,Venus,Mars and Mercury there.
Sun being his 7th lord ceases to be malefic,Venus is his yogakaraka planet and his 9th lord acts as most benefic planet for him.Mercury is the 8th lord
itself and Mars being his 10th lord also ceases to be malefic.Here in this house happening is the churning of the ocean.Obviously there will be posion there but at last there will be nector too.Amitabh got his chronic diseases and injuries as the posion and his ever lasting charisma,his super stardom and last but not the least the well-wishes of the entire nation as nector.As an astrologer I stopped to be amazed here after analyzing his 8th house.

Hereunder are given few other details about him.

Son of a famous,poet :-

His 10^th house,the significator of father is aspected by exalted Jupiter and lagna lord Saturn.10^th lord Mars is placed in 8^th house withVenus in the same nakshatra.Exalted Mercury and royal planet Sun are also joining it giving him a famous poet father with strong beliefs and ideology.Moreover in the dwadasamsha chart of Amitabh has exalted Jupiter in lagna.Dr. Harivansh Rai Bachchan needs n introduction in literary circles.

Good Education:-

Powerful 2^nd, 4^th and 5^th house provided Amitabh good education.2^nd house has been aspected by it's lord Jupiter,the karaka for education,4^th house has lagna lord Saturn who is placed in his friends sign and 5^th lord Mercury is exalted.Moreover 2^nd house has been aspected by Sun,Mars,Venus and Mercury also. Everybody close to Amitabh knows he was good in studies and acquired double M.A. Degree from Kirorimal collage of Delhi University.

Wife from creative and glamorous background:-

7^th house has Rahu placed in it.Jaya bhaduri came from different community.His 7^th lord is Sun,placed in 8^th house in lagna kundali but in navamsha Sun is placed in 7^th house in leo in it's mooltrikona sign.His wife is as famous and popular as himself when she was at peak in her career.

Fantastic Career:-

We have already discussed the miracles of his 8^th house.His 10^th lord is placed in the same 8^th house in the hasta nakshatra.Sun is the deity of this Hasta nakshatra and it is believed that in nobler circumstances this nakshatra can produce magicians and as far as his profession is concerned Amitabh is no less than a magician.In his dasamsha chart Jupiter placed in his 10^th house in Pisces in it's own sign giving him immense popularity and respect.10^th lord Mars association with Yogakaraka Venus gave him a successful film career.

Famous friends and famous Son:-

Amitabh is blessed with friends as well as a famous son.His 5^th house is quite strong in that sense.5^th house is the house of friends,children and the blessings of previous births.Significator of children Jupiter as well as 5^th lord Mercury both are exalted and Mercury is associated with Sun in almost all divisional charts showing that he will blessed with famous and powerful friends as well as famous and popular son.

We will go through his entire life story as per vimshottari dasha system.

Rahu Mahadasha (From birth to 12-04-1955):-

It was the time for childhood of masti and enjoyment.He attended Boys highschool in Allahabad during this phase and was quite good at studies.
Oahu's placement in 7th house in oleo is goody's renowned ,disciplinarian but understanding father was the highlight of this period.

Jupiter Mahadasha ( Till 12-04-1971):-

As Jupiter is exalted and aspecting the 2nd house of education,which happens to be it's own house,Amitabh acquired good education in this phase.He went to Sherwood College in Nainital and later joined Delhi's Kirorimal College for earning his Double M.A. Degree in arts.This was the best time for his father too.
His father was close to the then Prime minister Jawahar Lal Nehru and was appointed the Hindi Advisor to the Government of India after returning from Cambridge University in England. His father Dr.Harivansh Rai Bachchan was the first Indian to earn a Ph.D. in English from Cambridge.
During Jupiter-Saturn dasha family shifted to Delhi from Allahabad.Amitabh got Rajiv and Sanjay as his close pals during this dasha.He enjoyed this part of his life very much. In the later part of Jupiter dasha the going was bit tough.He went to Calcutta for work.Worked as a freight broker for a firm for some time and later joined Shaw Wallace.He was also involved with theater at that time in Calcutta.

His dream to work in films took him Bombay from Calcutta.He struggled in the Jupiter-Moon and Jupiter-Mars but got his first break in K.A.Abbas's "Saat Hindustani" in the year 1969 when his Rahu antar dasha in Jupiter was running.Still the days of struggle were not over and he had to wait for his most beneficial dasha of Saturn to start.

Saturn Mahadasha (Till 12-04-1990):-

The real story begins from here.Saturn is his lagna lord and being yogakaraka from his Libra(Tula) rashi and also strongly placed in 4th house in kendra in friendly sign in Taurus in the nakshatra of Moon,Rohini.The nakshatra dispositor Moon's placement in the 9th house helped him a lot.His success story in bollywood tells it all.His super stardom,his long innings in the film industry all falls within the grace of Saturn.During the first half of Saturn dasha his most of the films were mega hits.
Zanzeer (1973) came when he was running Saturn-Saturn and and he never looked back after that.We have no intention to analyze his filmi career here.Everybody knows it better then us.

We should not forget the 12^th lordship of Saturn here.The second part of Saturn had not been passing not without it's share of adversities Saturn-Moon he met with that fatal accident but fortunately survived and in a way reborn again.Look at the 6^th/8^th position of Saturn and Moon and the facts that he was passing through the sade-sati at that time.In Saturn-Mars he entered in politics in support of his close friend Rajiv Gandhi but soon realized that he was not cut out for politics.He resigned in Saturn-Rahu after being named in Bofors Scandal before even finishing his term.He has very bitter experiences during that time and termed his entering into politics a big mistake.We can blame his sade-sati and 12^th lordship for all this.His sade-sati finished in December 1987 and he had a sigh of relief after that.


Mercury Mahadasha(Till 12-04-2007):-

Being placed in 8th house of surprises Mercury threw many surprises infront of Amitabh.The first half was full of ambitious plans but failed him miserably.
His losses in business and average or below average films,his failed business prepositions are all came during first half of this dasha.He was under heavy debts.
His relations with Gandhi family further deteriorated in this phase.

The second half was quite contrary to the first one and surprisingly he stood from ashes and striked back with KBC.and he never looked back since then..

We have to keep in mind that Mercury is functional benefic for the Aquarius lagna.Being 5^th lord Mercury provided good results while being 8^th lord he gave him debts,chronic diseases and distance from Gandhi Family.During Mercury dasha he became close to Amar Singh and Mulayam Singh Yadav. At first this seems a mismatch and from astrological point of view I consider this friendship as an aberration in Mr. Bachchan's life. As this friendship blossomed in the dasha of retrograde Mercury.

Right now he is under the Saturn antardasha in the Mercury mahadasha.This is the fag end of the mahadasha of Mercury.This is called chhidra dasha also and may cause serious damages to life.His whole 64^th year seems to be tough to his life but he will be survived this year and I have no doubt about that.

Future Predictions:-

Amitabh has to pass the 7 years of Ketu mahadasha after completing this Mercury mahadasha in April 2007.Ketu will repeat the events which Saturn has already given as well indicated.His fame will be intact but not the health.In case he passes whole of the Ketu dasha his fame and popularity will touch new frontiers.Ketu is known as “Shikhi”or Peak and that he is certainly going to achieve in coming Ketu dasha.

The Fate of Saddam Hussein

The fate of Saddam Hussein is a current hot topic worldwide as the trial against him has been started on 19^thof October 2005.
We are analyzing his fate and destiny according to Vedic Astrology.
The birth details of Saddam Hussein are read like this...

Born in Tikrit near Baghdad on 28th of April 1937 at 8.15 in the morning.
With this information in hand we had have to verify the events in the life of Saddam Hussein.

As not much authentic biographical material available on Saddam we have to rely on what is available through western media which obviously is coloured and biased.We believe that his date of birth is currect but we are not as sure of his time of birth.

He was born when Gemini Ascendant was rising at eastern horizon.The dictator in him catches the eyes of an astrologer and this is justified as his ascendant lord though a soft planet Mercury placed in the 12th house at Rahu-Ketu axis and influenced by as many as six planets namely Rahu,Ketu,Mars,Saturn,Moon and Jupiter.Four planet are clearly malefic and making his a ruthless and cruel leader.Even Moon and Jupiter are also helping in this cause as both are debilitated and placed in 6th and 8th houses respectively.

The five planets are on 6th/12th axis shows his character more loudly.He has survived many battles in his life dramatically and nowadays fighting a legal battle in the court.Will he survive this time is the million dollar question and we are trying to find out a possible answer with the help of Astrology.

Gemini rising also shows his interest in his famous doubles.He is an enigma and dillema at the same time.Reading his mind is quite tough task even for an astrologer.Against his opponents he is ruthless and he can crush them with all ease.

For first six years of his life he was passing through the dasha of Saturn that is placed in the 10th house associated with exalted venus and aspected by debilitated Rahu. During these years he lost his father even 5 months before his birth.His 12 year old brother also died of cancer shortly afterward his father's death and before Saddam was born.He had to suffer in hands of step father who used to beat him cruely.He was born when Saturn-Mars was running and he was born to a mother who was severely depressed as during pregnancy as she had lost her husband and a son.He was born as an unwanted child as his mother even tried to kill herself and abort the child.In these kind of circumstanced a dictator was born who is a fighter to the core no matter how strong the opposition is.Look at the position of retrograde Mars with the debilitated moon, the karaka for mother.

In the dasha of Saturn-Rahu he was sent to his maternal uncle and in Saturn-Jupiter his mother remarried and he gained three half brothers through this marriage.Look at the position of Jupiter, who placed 3^rd from Moon, the house of brothers and sisters.

In the dasha of Mercury he returned to his maternal uncle and attended nationalistic school and at 20 he joined the baa'th party.His maternal uncle was the supporter of that party and his influence on Saddam was very evident.

It was a phase of varied kind of learning for Saddam. He was very vocal and actively involved in party politics.This all can be very well justified in the dasha of Mercury, who is his lagna lord and known for media,publicity and intense networking.

Ketu's dasha was running from 1960 to 1967, and it was very turbulent time in the life of Saddam. threat of life loomed large on Saddam during this dasha as always associated with Ketu. During the dasha of Ketu Saddam took part in the attempted assassination of the then Prime minister Qassim.He was shot in leg during that coup and had to flee to Syria and later to Egypt. He was sentenced to death for taking part in that coup.In exile in Egypt he studied Law at Cairo University. Saddam returned to Iraq in 1964 but was arrested and imprisoned.

All those events in Ketu dasha made Saddam tough and mature as a political figure.

He escaped from jail in 1967 when he had entered into the dasha of Venus placed in his 10^th house of power and position. Within a year of time when baa'thist returned to power he became vice president of Iraq.His success story started from here onwards.During the Venus dasha he was appointed the general of Iraqi army in 1967.His power was increasing day by day and he formally came to power in 1979.In this dasha he became the most ruthless ruler of his times. In the fits of ego and power he involved in Iran-Iraq war. One can easily see why the second half of Venus dasha was bad for him but still he managed to survive and continue to rule the nation. But he caused the immense destruction of human lives and as well as of wealth during the second half of Venus.This can be justified by the position of Mercury and Ketu in Taurus which is severely afflicted by Mars,Rahu and Saturn and also by Jupiter.

In the Dasha of Sun which was placed exalted in the 11^th house of gains and supremacy he invaded Kuwait. As the Sun is exalted but hemmed in between malefics he miscalcuated his power and moves and lost the war against U.S. And it's allies.This all happened in the dasha of Sun.

His Moon dasha has been running since 1993 to next 10 years. This was one of the worst phase in his life as Moon is placed in 6^th house,the house of enemies and problems.He was suffering humiliation in the hands of U.S and it's allies.The only good thing was that he managed to survive his presidency of Iraq. In the fag end of this dasha he was again attacked by U.S. and allies for allegedly possessing weapons of mass destruction.

Though nothing horrible as WMD''s was found in Iraq, U.S. And it' allies were successful in dethroning and humiliating him. For the ruler of any kind this is nothing else but a kind of death. This all has been happening as his Mars dasha has been started in early 2003 and this time he had to relinquish his throne and had to flee and hide at unknown locations.He was captured after few months on 14^th December 2003.Still he is in the dasha of Mars and the task before us is to analyze his future in this dasha.The question looming large whether he will survive or will he be sentenced to death by the court.

Being a worst malefic for Gemini Ascendant Mars is entitled to produce worst kind of suffering, humiliation and death like situations which Mars is giving since it's beginning in early 2003.I wish to present here a similar kind of horoscope. This is the horoscope of Z. A. Bhutto,the former Prime Minister of Pakistan who was executed for murder charges, quite similar to Saddam Hussein who also has been facing trial for murder charges.

Quite interestingly this horoscope also has Gemini Ascendant and Mars in 6^th house. Rahu-Ketu axis also running through the 6^th /12^th house.He was executed for murder in 1979 when he was passing through the dasha of Saturn-Mars. In Bhutto's case Saturn was badly placed then Saddam Hussein. Saddam Hussein is passing through the dasha of Mars-Saturn, but his Mars is strongly placed then Z. A. Bhutto.I sincerely argue here that he has better chances of surviving death then Bhutto. Though whole of mars dasha slated to give him suffering,humiliation and death like situations he still can manage to survive execution, unlike Bhutto. Look at the horoscope of Bhutto where Mars was afflicted by Saturn and Ketu and Saturn was reducing his longevity by being 8^th lord and placed with Mars and Ketu in an inimical sign, wherein the case of Saddam Mars is quite strongly placed and his Saturn is placed in 10^th house giving him lot longer life then Bhutto.

We also intend to analyze the horoscope when the trial began. Scorpio rising in Baghdad at the time of trial. The Lagna lord though placed in 6^th house in his own house with 9^th lord Moon but aspected by Sun,Jupiter,and Mercury and also his worst enemy Saturn. This seems to be a win win situation for Mars and despite tough legal battle ahead Mars (in this case Saddam) may survive this time also.The association of Mars with Moon is showing that fate is on Saddam's side and helping him in the longer run.Saddam here is represented by Ascendant and 6^th house and his enemies are represented by 7^th house and 12^th (6^th from 7^th ) house.If we examine the strength of both the sides,balance again hangs in the favour of the former Iraqi President.Though the ascendant is weak as a benefic planet Venus is there,making Saddam a soft target,but retrograde Mars and Moon adding strength to Saddam and preparing him to a longer and tough battle.The 7^th house is empty and showing the emptiness of principles on his enemies part,though here again the 12^th house(6^th from 7^th ) has Sun,Jupiter and Mercury showing Saddam's enemies inabilitiy to use Law as their weapon.What they are considering their weapon may prove out to be their handicappedness.

I have also made a comprehensive study of Kot Chakras for Saddam Hussein.I have prepared three Kot chakras for Saddam for three different timings. These are based on three timing of Gulf War-I ,Gulf War-II, and the Trial of Saddam .I must add here that I again find him to elude the death through execution.

Saddam has been eluding death for many years. He may also elude execution this time. Let the God decide what is right for Saddam Hussein.

Will Power

WIIL POWER: THE SECRET OF SUCCESS.

I think it is a very relevent topic in today’s world as each and everyone of us wants success and no-one wants failure. If I share some secerets of success with you ,I hope all of you will enjoy and will look forword to try some tips.
Our different organs work on different planes, as our body functions on physical plane,our mind functions on mental plane and our heart functions on emotional or psychic plane. These different planes possess different types of energy; from subtle to gross, from higher to lower etc.

Our mind is a great reservoir of energy. It is unfathomable. It is our will which makes our mind more powerful.You may be surprised to know that a person can work 5 times more than normal if he is perfectly fit pysically but he can work 5000 times more than normal if he fully concentrates mentally. This is the power of mind which comes from a person’s will. The sheer will can change the whole situation no matter how difficult it is?. It was the will of Napolean which saw his geart historical victories. It was the will of George Washington which made America independent from the clutches of mighty british empire. It was the will of Mahatma Gandhi which gave him the power and with that power he without any arms forced british to give us freedom. There are numerous examples like that in which people with great will power made impossible possible.
I would like to share some tips with you.

Concentration is the first thing which makes our mind collective to make effort to get success. From concentration comes confidence, and from confidene comes the power, the will power wich I am talking about.
For gaining concentration you will have to flow your all ideas into one direction, like all rivers flow into ocean.
You will also have to be sure of success. The surity of success makes a person powerful and positive to make efforts.
The positive frame of mind will make you courageous to take risks to make impossible the possible.
So here I am summarising my three dimensional tips for good will power.
Concentration
Confidence &
courage

I hope you will try these tips with positive frame of mind, and I am quite more hopeful that there is every reason to smile.

Spiritual Quest ?

This is the chat between Me and one of my Sister, Sreevidya Moorthy, incidentally happened on net.Few of you may find this interesting.This is what I am offering as a spiritual discussion.Please feel free to ask any question regarding this.Mail me at acharya.vasudev@gmail.com


Sree says:
Hello!
acharya_vasudev says:
hi! Sweet sis
Sree says:
how are u?
acharya_vasudev says:
fine. Apki kripa hai.
Sree says:
lol
Sree says:
no..bhagvan ki
acharya_vasudev says:
that is inside you. Isn't it
Sree says:
hold true for everyone
acharya_vasudev says:
agreed
acharya_vasudev says:
but at a time I can talk about only few of them.That's why I said it is you.
Sree says:
it hold true for u too
Sree says:
holds..god is there in u too
acharya_vasudev says:
That I left for you to say.
Sree says:
anyways
Sree says:
wonder why he sits and lets bad things happen
acharya_vasudev says:
bad and good are relative, Sree.What is good for us may be bad for anyone else. For example.Rain in this season is good for Rabi crop but bad for common man who are spending their night at footpath.

Sree says:
there are some things which are universally bad and good for everyone
Sree says:
like war..like famine, poverty, disease
Sree says:
he lets them happen
Sree says:
he doesn't stop people and animals from suffering
acharya_vasudev says:
suffering are the outcome of our own karmas.
Sree says:
he created us...he wants us to turn to him..he hold the power for anything
Sree says:
he can pull a string and it changes our whole life
Sree says:
he created us...and it's all a drama for him to watch.
Sree says:
when did karma start from?
acharya_vasudev says:
From the very first act of creation.
acharya_vasudev says:
and creation starts with illusion.
acharya_vasudev says:
Maya
acharya_vasudev says:
It doesn't start at all.
acharya_vasudev says:
He created us from within without.
Sree says:
it's confusing
Sree says:
why give us people to love and then ask us to stay detached?
Sree says:
when u love ..u love 100% and then u risk losing the person u love
Sree says:
else ur love is half hearted
acharya_vasudev says:
true.
Sree says:
be it mother, father, sister or spouse
acharya_vasudev says:
but love is not always "getting the person" only
Sree says:
no..it's about sharing
acharya_vasudev says:
In losing someone there may be a sting of love.
Sree says:
ur life ..enriching it
acharya_vasudev says:
Without losing how can you know the pleasure of getting
Sree says:
but then ...we are not supposed to be taken in by pleasure?
Sree says:
we are supposed to be unaffected
Sree says:
we are not supposed to want
acharya_vasudev says:
unaffected takes you to detachment
Sree says:
so...that's my point
Sree says:
why give us the world and expect us to stay away from it to reach him
Sree says:
how can u explain karma to a person in grief?
Sree says:
who doesn't have a good home or meals for a day?
acharya_vasudev says:
see my sweet sis...... losing or staying away is not what detachment is.
acharya_vasudev says:
you are being too emotional with the suffering of others.
acharya_vasudev says:
just a minute....take a example when a person commits genocide.... and in next life he suffers like what you are saying.......what is the problem.....the problem is you are seeing only a part of the picture......God can not be so cruel......
acharya_vasudev says:
If in next life Bin Laden suffers.... will there be a problem for you.?
Sree says:
no
Sree says:
but people became victims of him
Sree says:
what harm did people in the towers do to him
Sree says:
I would think he deserves to suffer
Sree says:
people who make others suffer should undergo the same suffering
acharya_vasudev says:
they also are suffering due to their destiny.... I mean their past karmas
Sree says:
acharya..if anyone can answer..where it all started from..I would be intrigued
Sree says:
from where I stand..I see that we are doing everything to please god
Sree says:
so we are safe from pain
Sree says:
because he pulls the strings..he controls
acharya_vasudev says:
The problem is we are seeing only a part of HIS movie.
acharya_vasudev says:
The story of full movie is that there is no movie at all.
Sree says:
then ..what's the point
Sree says:
we are entertaining the greater power?
acharya_vasudev says:
See..... you go to cinema hall.....you see a movie
acharya_vasudev says:
you see many things moving from here to there.
acharya_vasudev says:
but in reality nothing moves
acharya_vasudev says:
you are being shown more than 40 still pictures at a time
Sree says:
then ..I feel life has no meaning
acharya_vasudev says:
which you are unable to catch as your eyes can not differentiate between so fast
Sree says:
everything is in vain
Sree says:
I don't have to do anything
Sree says:
no drive, no motivation
acharya_vasudev says:
nothing is moving in that hall
Sree says:
cause everything is an illusion
acharya_vasudev says:
no no sweet hold on please.
acharya_vasudev says:
not illusion
acharya_vasudev says:
the real enjoyment is to make a movie yourself and enjoy it alone
acharya_vasudev says:
that is what god is doing
acharya_vasudev says:
or I may say you are doing.As He is within you.
acharya_vasudev says:
Feel him and you will start to see a movie.Making directing and as well as seeing.
Sree says:
I don' t understand the logic
Sree says:
but that
Sree says:
is like what's written in the gita
Sree says:
God comes across like a real power wielding character...who wants everyone to turn to him and dedicate their lives which are given by him to him alone
acharya_vasudev says:
you didn't understand because I failed to make you understand this.
Sree says:
no...u did explain it well
acharya_vasudev says:
but I am pleased with my efforts
Sree says:
I have to discuss a lot more
acharya_vasudev says:
anytime my sweet sis.
Sree says:
thanx anyways
acharya_vasudev says:
thanks to you too... for attentive listening
Sree says:
I was asking the questions...I was very interested in the answers
Sree says:
please go ahead with ur work..thank you for the time
acharya_vasudev says:
bye bye. Take care.
