I received the following thought provoking comment to my last podcast:
Just some comments. In referring to your friend’s comment, “people are unable to believe the magnitude of the corruption on all levels” rings so true. I had that realization several years ago; albeit on a much lower level than what is being revealed these days. About twenty years ago you spoke of coming into an age where society would become rather chaotic. At the time, it seemed impossible. Impossible in that it was difficult to imagine what life would be like in twenty years and with our culture being run like a machine….and here we are. Fascinating to hear someone spoke of the man with orange hair around that same time. Who would have ever thought this so called “pandemic” would be the trigger that would begin to wake people up.
To which I respond:
Your thoughtful words compel me to reflect upon the past 20 years. I poured my heart out in an attempt to prepare people for what was coming–how to deal with it wisely. And now we find ourselves in the midst of The Great Transition. Yet in spite of my warnings, few are keeping their balance. So now I say again that we will come through these turbulent times into an era of calmer waters, peace, and prosperity. Admittedly as the storm rages, even the best of us find ourselves holding on tightly in hopes of making it through these violent rapids. Steady hand on the rudder!!

Crises such as the coronavirus certainly trigger peoples psychological tendencies. Of course, once triggered, it can be quite challenging to determine the best course of action. The challenge is compounded by so many issues—urgency, lack of sufficient research, politics, greed, bias, fear, knee jerk reactions, etc. The podcast “Coronavirus Revisited” investigates this important topic with a lively and provoking discussion. It is easy to be spiritual and wise when everything is wonderful. But who among us can keep their balance and access their inner wisdom when the stakes are high and emotions are triggered? Explore not only the far reaching aspects of the virus but also of your own personal inner psychodynamic process by clicking here.

She roosted her nest under a ledge on my front porch.
I hope we can become friends.
But she is afraid.
I speak to her softly in a high pitched voice.
Yet she flies away…
How magical it would be if she had her babies on that ledge.
But whatever happens, I understand.
We are who we are…
I pray she and her babies fend well.
Yet I understand that I may never know.
Love is like that…

I learned a tremendous amount about the construction of an “Enlightened City” over the past 20 years. To even begin to describe it all requires some background in Vedic Knowledge. Principles in the Vedic literature must not only be understood but (much more of a challenge) must be embodied before one can begin to fathom the fantastic technology. In the Ancient Secrets Revealed podcast series, we first offer some of those essential principles. Then in episode 5 (coming up some time within the next week or so) those pieces of the puzzle are put together to shed light on the remarkable technology involved. If you have not yet listened to episode 1-4, you can catch up by clicking here. I would also suggest listening to the podcast entitled “Adrishtha Apurva”. I believe the process involved will fascinate, surprise and challenge everyone. What follows is a brief description of the upcoming episode 5.
Ancient Secrets Revealed E5: Mystery of the “Enlightened City”
Once all the ancient secrets are known, why do they remain a secret? Does the ancient technology of an “Enlightened City” offer an explanation? When the Vedic architect says no such city exists anywhere in the world, the obvious question is, “Why?” This episode investigates that remarkable mystery, while holding up a mirror to all humanity.

I was recently asked some beautiful questions to which I responded:
As we purify our physiologies things do come up. But it was once said that we do not need to rummage through the garbage. We just let it go. So no need to dwell too much on the past. Personal process is certainly important, but at some point letting things go is also important.
The quality of the Self is called the Rishi Value. It is good to hear that you are feeling that within you. It is not that we are actually Rishis. Rather the qualities of the depth of our own inner being can be experienced and is called “the Rishi value”. It is not just experiencing a Rishi as “other”, it is more importantly experiencing your own inner divinity. Congratulations for experiencing that! Rest with it. It is beautiful.
The solar event you are referring to is what is referred to as “the Age of Enlightenment”. It has been predicted that now is a transition to that healthy time. I understand that back in the 90’s, Maharishi was on stage with a Jyotishi and said that transition would begin to be felt when a man with orange hair was president of the United States, around 2020 to 2022. I was not there to hear him say this, but I was told about it. It has also been said that the transition happens with a period of roughness in world affairs. Interesting that even in chemistry, phase transitions can occur with a brief period of turbulence.
I am often asked what more one can do to evolve. I always respond by saying, “Steady hand on the rudder”. Yet so few people actually do that. Hang in there. Great times are ahead.

The paradigm with which a person is identified is like a rubberband. With new insights, the paradigm can be stretched, and though the stretching may feel very good, the rubberband-like identity springs right back to where it was. Through the years it has astounded me to witness how adamant people are about their paradigm identities. So many times people have come up to me, after one of my lectures thrilled them, to say they have been looking for those teachings their whole life and that they would never miss another lecture or class. Then they walk out the lecture hall door, snap back into their old paradigm identity, never to be seen again!
Maharishi Patanjali said it so well: The Chit (storehouse of impressions) is as if etched in stone. The resultant paradigm is fixed and inflexible. Yet as one evolves, one becomes more flexible and can align with the paradigm that best serves the moment. To truly embrace the Ancient Secrets of the Masters is to become flexible—to easily embrace other paradigms.
Ancient paradigms involved the principle of mapping in very profound ways. Havans and pPujas are based upon the principle. Ancient technologies apply the principle. Mount Soma is built upon the mapping principle of how a city/community can be constructed in a manner to map onto the country. To heal the country is to build and operate that community.
It has been remarkable to experience how powerful that technology, the mapping, is. To build Mount Soma, we followed the ancient vastu guidelines and anyone at Mount Soma who follows the news can see how powerful that connection is. As Mount Soma flourishes, the country will flourish. This is what the ancients taught and it is what we are in the process of accomplishing.

Happy Vedic New Year!
60% of your Jyotish (astrology) depends upon your moon chart. This means that you need to first have your Vedic astrology chart and then “spin” it to put the moon in the first house. Then the most important planets to interpret are the transiting Saturn, Jupiter, Rahu, and Ketu. The other planets transit too fast to be as much of a factor. The rest comes from interpreting your Rashi chart and merging all that together accordingly.
Then comes the Ugadi values that are very important influences. The graph below shows the Ugadi values. The numbers on the left are the signs for the moon. That is to say that if your moon is in Aries, for example, then your Ugadi values are Income 5, Expenses 5, Honor 3, Dishonor 1, and lucky number for the year is 9. The remedy for troubles would be to have the Rudrabhishekam performed, the more often the better.
The Ugadi values are the result of very important and complicated calculations. Pandit Prasad takes three months each year to make these calculations. Few jyotish astrologers take the time or even know how to make these very essential calculations.
Even deeper than the Ugadi values are the yearly Murtimantam calculations. For this, each planet for each individual has one of four values: Iron, Bronze, Silver, or Gold. Those values make ALL THE DIFFERENCE in a persons chart for the year. Gold and then silver giving the best results. Those calculations take the Ugadi values into account but go a step even deeper and more complicated. Unfortunately, how to calculate those values in a persons individual chart requires a tremendous amount of time and effort. Few astrologers even know about this. Because those calculations are so extensive and complicated, they have been neglected and lost to time.
However, by using the Ugadi chart below in context of what has been offered here, you can get a good idea of your jyotish for the year. Do keep in mind adrishta and apurva. I posted a podcast about this a short while ago that you can access at michaelmamas.com or clicking here: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-michael-mamas-show/id1501096086.

As I have said in the past, there are two ways we can view new information that is not consistent with our current belief system. 1) we can reject and live in denial of it, or 2) we can transform our current beliefs to accommodate the new information. This is one of those things that is just too hard for many people to believe. Yet it is (and for thousands of years has been) right there in the Vedic literature.
Thousands of years ago, Vasistha spoke of the Coronavirus. He even used the word “Corona” in naming it. He said it was airborne, extremely small (i.e. microscopic), and entered through the nostrils. He gave a mantra for the healing of those afflicted. Though specifically for the Coronavirus, this mantra supports the healing and prevention of all viruses and all cancers. You can listen to it as much as you would like. It is available for you to listen to by clicking here.
Accordingly, as per our recent Temple Update, we will be doing a Dhanvanthari Healing Havan April 2. In case you did not see the update, you can view it by clicking here.
