HAS THE SPIRITUAL WORLD BECOME
AN INDUSTRY?

Today, we see a large number of ‘Gurus’ and ‘Swamis’ (titles given to a spiritual teacher) who have gained international fame, giving lectures on Yoga, Meditation, Astrology, Vastu and Spiritualism on satellite channels. The number of these ‘Gurus’ and ‘Swamis’ is increasing like wild mushrooms everyday. These self proclaimed Gurus and Swamis do not have the real knowledge of the principles of Yoga, Meditation, Astrology, Vastu, Panch Tattwa (five elements) and Spiritualism but are merely exploiting and misguiding innocent people of this country. The innocent public is lapping it all up because the people of our country are habitual to slavery. These so called Swamis have become like big industrialist and possess immense wealth and enjoy all the luxuries of life. In today’s world, it is necessary to be a clever consumer while shopping otherwise the shopkeeper will cheat you. Similarly, one has to be very careful and exercise sound judgment while associating with the so-called Swamis and Gurus. But the main question is how to judge whether the spiritual adviser is providing good, sincere and accurate consultancy?

Who is a perfect Spiritual Adviser?

Now let me tell you how I identify myself to others so that a person becomes satisfied even in a momentary meeting. I always enclose my horoscope with my name because 80% identity of a person can be found out from the horoscope. You can also get the information about your spiritual adviser by getting his horoscope read by an experienced astrologer. This is necessary in order to know about the person whom you are going to trust with your life. I wonder at watching these so-called international yoga gurus on the television screen, asking people to do meditation by closing eyes. According to me, it is more important to first see the placement of planets in the horoscope of such experts because no person can go for meditation unless the position of planets is proper in his horoscope. If there is Sadde Sati (Seven and the half) or Dhhaiya (Two and the half) of Saturn or Mahadasha and Anterdasha of weak planets in the horoscope, then the five senses of that person would never be in a position to keep him fit for meditation. Most of today’s astrologers and experts of vastu remain engrossed in their work and do not know how to keep the body healthy and have become patients of sugar and heart problems because astrologers and vastu experts do not have any knowledge of yoga and meditation. The same situation exists for persons who are teaching yoga because yoga teachers have no knowledge of astrology and vastu. They only make a person take up Asana, Pranayam and Kapalbhati. Similarly, astrologers, vastu experts and other preachers neither have the knowledge nor the time for yoga and meditation. I simply want to tell you that only if the disciplines of Yog, Meditation, Astrology, Vaastu and the Principles of Panch Tattwa (five elements) are under your command, then only one is entitled to give advice to others because person having knowledge of only one aspect of spiritualism can’t be called an expert. Therefore, it is important to first find out whether a spiritual adviser has the complete and practical knowledge of Yog, Dhyan, Samadhi, Astrology, Vastu and Principles of Panch Tattwa (five elements).   

The Five pre-requisites of a Spiritual Guru:

First, what is the Horoscope of that Spiritual Guru?

Second, whether that Spiritual Guru suffers from the most deadly ‘Pitradosh’?

Third, whether that Spiritual Guru has any new creation to his credit?

Fourth, whether the Spiritual Guru is free from physical deformities and ailments?

Today, many people who are unsuccessful in finding a vocation or profession for themselves often enroll in a course of Astrology and Vastu and after about one year or so, set up a shop in the neighborhood claiming to be an Astrologer and Vastu expert. Similarly, many such persons after spending a few months in a Yog Ashram claim to have become expert in what I call the ‘Shashtang Yoga’ and claim themselves to be great teachers of yoga. Therefore, one has to be very careful before accepting a spiritual guru, astrologer, vastu expert or a yoga teacher. It is essential to know whether such a spiritual guru has the complete knowledge of Yog-Dhyan-Samadhi-Astrology-Vastu and the principles of Panch Tattwa (five elements).

Let us examine the above pre-requisites from a scientific and logical point of view.

Firstly, knowing the horoscope of the spiritual guru is of the utmost importance as through the medium of Astrology, one can obtain 80% information about the character of a person.

Secondly, according to the Hindu Sanatan Dharma, ‘Pitradosh’ is considered to be the most dreaded and deadly affliction that can befall upon a person. Therefore it is essential to find out whether the mother of the spiritual guru is a widow. This is because, in a widow, the influence of planet Venus, the leader of the of planets, is the strongest. It is equally important to find out whether that spiritual guru is the eldest brother in the family because then he would be under the influence of Devil group planet Saturn. If the spiritual guru is younger, then he would be influenced by Devil group planet Ketu. According to the principles of Astrology, one should even avoid looking at the face of such a person, what to talk of accepting him as a spiritual guru!  The chart given below illustrates the how the devil group of planets affects the family having Pitradosh :-

  Devil Group (De - Oxygenated)

According to the principles of Panch Tattwa (Five elements), the father in the family represents the Agni Tattwa, while the mother represents the Jal Tattwa. The principles of Panch Tattwa (Five elements), stipulate that the Jala Tattwa, like water, flows down into the earth. It is only due to the influence of the Agni Tattwa that the Jala Tattwa can rise up. The Sun as the head of the Solar family provides energy and light while the Moon represents the mother which gives love and brings coolness and security in the home. In a family, the position of the father is akin to the Sun and the mother, like the Moon. If the position of the father in the family is sound, then that family like the solar family maintains its order and dignity. Conversely, whenever, the position of the father in the family is weak, there would be mismanagement and discord. Death of the father means that the Sun has set in the family. ‘Pitra Dosh’ befalls due to the demise of the father and the consequent widowhood of the mother. (For more information on ‘Pitradosh’, read my article on this subject.)

Thirdly, today, most of the so called spiritual gurus are merely storing the research done by our ancient saints in their brain like a computer and then repeating it like a parrot. Innocent people are lapping it up without knowing that these so called spiritual gurus cannot be credited for anything they say. In this way these so called spiritual gurus have become like big industrialists. A simple way of identifying such so called spiritual guru is that they give only give spirituality inspired lectures but have no research to their credit. These so called spiritual gurus are like cancer in the spiritual world. It is therefore most important to find out what new research that so called guru has done in the field of spirituality because research is the base of Indian spiritual knowledge which has been created after deep research by our ancient sages and saints. 

(i) The right eye is governed by the Sun while the left eye is governed by the Moon. Blindness means that both the Sun and the Moon are debilitated in the horoscope of such person. If the right eye is weak or is blind or has a squint , it means that the Sun and the 2nd house in the horoscope is badly afflicted and if the left eye is weak or is blind or has a squint, it means that the Moon and the 12th house in the horoscope is without much strength. 

(ii) If the disability is of the arm, it indicates that the placement of Mars and the 3rd and 11th house in the horoscope is distressed.

(iii) If the person has problem in being touched and shirks from shaking hands or if he has over sensitive sense of smell, or like a car without headlights, has extremely weak eye sight, then such a person’s five senses are not connected to the world and to the universe. Such a person would be unable to sense your problems.

Fifthly, It is equally important to know who are the followers of the Spiritual Guru. Just like a show window can tell you what is available inside the shop, this factor can be a guide for you to know the status of the Spiritual Guru in the society.

Every person who drives a car knows that a car without headlights is useless in the night, without the break, the movement of the car cannot be controlled, without the horn, obstacles in the way cannot be removed and without the steering wheel, you cannot steer the car in the direction which you want. If the break, horn, headlight or the steering wheel of the car is defective, there is a possibility of a deadly accident. Similarly, if any of the five senses of the Spiritual Guru are impaired, then astrologically, the position of the Moon in his horoscope is debilitated which results in incapacitated thought. Such a person would never be able to give good advice because Moon controls the mind, heart and the five senses of a person.  Advice of such a spiritual guru would always be half baked. 

 Therefore, only when all the components of Yog, Dharna, Dhyan, Samadhi, Astrology, and Vastu are under one’s command, can a person be said to be entitled to give advice to others. This is because a person having knowledge of only one aspect of spiritualism is like a person suffering from paralysis because only one part of his brain is functioning while the rest is immobile. Any person who refuses to divulge his horoscope is merely trying to cheat you.  If you are successful in finding such a Spiritual Guru, then you can be assured that all your problems will be resolved. This is because a Spiritual Guru with all the above credentials would be totally blessed by the Angel group of planets being the Sun, Moon, Mars and Jupiter having enhanced Agni Tattwa. The blessings of such a Spiritual Guru would surely remove all the problems and obstacles in your life. 

By the above five point criterion, you can yourself judge my suitability as a Spiritual consultant;

My father, Yogi Ram Dev , was a Samadhisht yogi who gave me practical knowledge of the secrets of Patanjali Rishi’s ‘Ashtang’ or the eight fold path of Yoga comprising of 1. Yum 2. Niyam 3. Asana 4. Pranayam 5. Pratyahar 6. Dharna 7. Dhyan and 8. Samadhi. My mother Smt. Gyan Devi was well versed in the science of Astrology, Vastu and the principles of Panch Tattwa (Five elements) and imparted knowledge on these subjects to me at an early age.

Firstly, you can ascertain my astrological status by examining my horoscope.

Secondly, I am fortunate that my mother breathed her last in the lap of my father.

Thirdly,   I remember, my father, Yogi Ram dev , would advise me that it is not enough to just spread the words that have already been written and spoken in the past. It is more important to do research and use your own findings to inspire people. I followed my father’s advice and did deep research on all those topics that I found intriguing. I have also been blessed to be born in a spiritual family where I was imparted full training and knowledge of Ashtang Yog including it’s most difficult components namely, Dharna, Dhyan and Samadhi. I was educated in the principles of Astrology, Vastu, Panch Tattwa (Five elements) and Naturopathy, right from childhood. From a young age, I was fortunate to be exposed to politics and working of the judicial system early on in my life. I was trained in the techniques of wrestling and swimming and am regarded as ‘Guru’ in the field of wrestling. By the dint of my hard work at a young age, I established a successful business in the name of ‘Decron’ Mirror cabinets, which was the first of its kind in India.

Fourthly, right from an early age, I laid great stress on my mental and physical fitness. I practiced wrestling and am a proficient swimmer and horse rider. I can perform ‘Tratak Sadhna’ and use it to cure patients lying in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU). (For more information on ‘Tratak Sadhna’, read my article on this subject.)

Fifthly, my followers include one of the most prestigious Judicial families of India.

Let me introduce you to another unique element which reinforces the character of a great leader:

One often hears that a child born in a wealthy family has ‘Rajyoga’ in his or her horoscope because he or she gets to enjoy all kinds of luxuries and facilities in life. Sometimes, a person belonging to the lower strata of society gets elected as a MLA or MP and gets a ministerial berth in the government. Such persons are said to have Rajyoga. But seldom do we hear of the condition of ‘Vipreet Rajyoga’. But it is said that fortunate are the few who do possess such a splendorous condition. Maha Rishi Parashar, the great sages of ancient India defined ‘Vipreet Rajyoga’as:

“’If 8th lord in 12th or 6th; 6th lord in 8th or 12th and so on 12th lord in 6th or 8th house it would have malefic influence devoid of any benefic affect, then the native having this type of combination would become a king of the kings”.

Simply put, it means that a king may have Rajyoga but the person who has Vipreet Rajyoga will be the King of the Kings.

Indeed, the English proverb, 'two negatives makes one positive', justifies the description of Vipreet Rajyoga. A person having Vipreet Rajyogapossess the capacity to writes his own history. Such persons have the potential to do such wonders that cannot be imagined by ordinary people.  Most animals live in herds. Human being are also said to be social animals and live in large groups in cities and towns. It is very rare to find a human being living alone. Though a lion lives alone in the forest, but is he the king of the jungle and all animals as well as man fear him. People possessing the Vipreet Rajyoga have the qualities of a lion. These persons have the ability to bring about such a revolution in the society which can only be imagined. Such persons live by themselves and rule the world and anybody who dares to encroach upon their territory, perishes. No wonder our ancient sages conferred the title ‘The King of Kings’ on a person having Vipreet Rajyoga. Such person has name and fame all over the world.

Horoscopes speak the truth

All of us know the achievements of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the Great Maratha warrior who wreaked havoc on the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb. Who can forget the sacrifice and the fight put up by Lok Nayak Jaiprakash Narain, who brought the government to its knees by his mass movement during the ‘Emergency’ era. Remember the achievements of Field Marshall General Manekshaw, who was single handedly responsible for the Indian victory over enemy forces. Recent history of the world is witness that it was Ayatollah Khomeini who is responsible for the resurgence of Islam in the world. All these persons possessed the ‘Vipreeet Rajyoga’ in their horoscope and were leaders of masses. A simple analysis and comparison of the horoscopes given below can demonstrate that without the special combination of planets signifying leadership, a person can never be an achiever. Horoscope speaks the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth. Therefore, seek a spiritual consultant, who can lead you, guide you, advise you on how to be a winner in life.

Raise your voice and ask…

Question the Vastu experts, why the North-West side of India, from Kashmir to Maharashtra, is under the grip of terrorism? What is the reason why for the last over 1200 years, the shadow of Islamic terrorism has loomed large over this part of the country?

Question the Yoga gurus why chemically created medicines have been replaced by Injections of Asana, Pranayam and Kapalbhati?  When will the citizens of India be able to enjoy complete and continues good health without depending upon temporary relief given by Asana, Pranayam, Kapalbhati?

Question the Spiritual gurus till when will they give lectures based on mythology and religion? When will they begin the inspire people by means of incidents of practical life?

Question the Political leaders till when they will claim ‘Hindu–Muslim Bhai Bhai’ when that was unable to stop the partition of India? Why do they continue to raise the same slogan even though the poison of Islamic terrorisms has reached each and every nook and corner of India.

 Raise your voice and demand to know the answers to these questions. Let me tell you, these so called Spiritual gurus will not be able to give you an answer because they are only interested in filling the coffers of their Ashrams and Yog Peeth.

Let me provide you with the Scientific and Logical answers to these questions based on years and years of practical research.
