The year of Anger and how it plays out; also, Ancient Secret to Hatha Yoga flexibility and a few Vedic verses explored
Upcoming year predictions are self-evident from watching the news and taking a step back. [as well as jyotish]. 2024: Our planet’s year of Anger, chaos, and conflict in all areas of life will continue throughout the year and well into 2025 BUT it is a clearing out process for good times to follow. The world will then wake up to natural law, wisdom, and in-sight. It is amazing to witness the degree to which mass mentality is so easily manipulated. Yet the grassroots of humanity are always closer the Mother Nature. Wisdom will emerge. Just hang in there for now! Think if it as a tint in the color of the water of the ‘fish bowl’ that will clear. So, watch your anger!
Global events will be evaluated based upon one’s bias. Think about it. What happens in Ukraine, Israel, elections, climate change, borders, etc. etc.
Whatever happens, half the world will see it as great, the other half will see it as disaster. But the big picture is that we are in the phase transition. That is a time when things bubble up in chaos as we have been seeing. But after the chaos of 2024/2025, we will be on the right course. Time and Mother Nature will let us know what that right course is.
Hatha yoga secret to flexibility revealed.
Tight muscles are about the nervous system, not the muscles!

CICERO
I was recently approached at the temple by a very kind and respectful young Brahmin gentleman. He spoke of his longing for true Knowledge. This touched my heart and compelled me to reflect deeply. I have been a teacher my entire adult life. I have learned a great deal about people and how they receive or reject Knowledge. The road of the teacher of deep knowledge is long and often leads to heartbreak. How can a student remain steadfast along the path? Where to begin such a limitless journey? What are the pitfalls along the way? Where and why along the way do so many spin out on tangents? The simple answer it that a persons karma brings them to the Knowledge, and their karma takes them away. This podcast is one more attempt to help. It is humbly dedicated to all sincere seekers. Perhaps it will be the first of an unending series. Or perhaps it is yet another in the lifelong unending series.
meditation.. experience vs knowledge
TM or youtube channel how to meditate
Veda traditionally not chanted for meaning but rather for repetition… meaning changes at various level of consciousness. experience/knowledge
7 heads 7 levels of intellectual understanding
“practical” application
“You must train your intuition—you must trust the small voice inside you which tells you exactly what to say, what to decide.”
INGRID BERGMAN
However “Intuition” rooted in Chit [Conditioned subconscious, programming, personal childhood ‘issues’, stress, etc.] is not true Intuition

The “physics” of Is-ness: Transforming the “Dark Ages”
first day of waxing moon is called “no moon” day. not a day to start new projects but good to worship ancestors, etc. then the next two days are “new moon” days. the second “new moon” day is auspicious and good day to start new things: Shiva Moon
political motivations are often very different than that of the voters
Is-ness = Consciousness…the only thing that is… isn’t a ‘thing’
Agama Shastra “cell phone to Heaven”… entry… invite Gods to enter.. there is an Agama Shastra for each deity,
yantra: all actions of havan create a ‘machine’, a yantra,
mantra: emergence of deity between yantra and tantra of havan
tantra [2 meanings one for humans e.g. meditation, one for gods receiving influence of the havan]
fish bowl effect: kali yuga: we are all swimming around in the same fishbowl. who is not affected?
“The greatest chapters in history always begin with risk, and the same is true with the chapters of your life.”
MARK BATTERSON
risking nothing is a great risk. everything is a risk. nothing ventured, nothing gained. we are always traversing the unknowable. risk is the nature of the unknown. the only true knowing is knowing you know nothing
futility of debate: to talk another out of their feelings is to impose denial… better to help them explore what they are feeling, The light of awareness is the true healer.

The Art of decision making: everybody makes decisions constantly even the choice to not decide is a decision
Memorial Day
Warrior/Leader, Life on the Line
baby/bathwater; the anchor and the waves; connotations
it is not necessarily about reflecting and mourning all day long. but take a moment as a family to address it, its value, its meaning. that more than a huge lecture will instill values in our children. touch their heart and then let them figure it out for themselves.

The global mind, The frame, Patanjali, karma, perception, and prana
Life is all about the frame it’s all in how do you frame it?
Every interaction is a long-term goal every thought
we do not really perceive. we project onto
Existence too is all about framing… vastu, set theory, field theory… how the universe was created and sustained… all done with mirrors…
What is a set theory? What is a field?: the field you project is the reality you create for yourself… every experience then confirms for you what you believe to be true… the color glasses you are wearing. Set theory. Filed Theory
’You gift is also your challenge’ Like many people, my gift is that I see the good, the divinity, in others. My challenge then is that I overlook their shortcomings until they come back to bite me.
free will or predetermination?
karma + prana = The Mind

Blurring or conflating Vedic studies with religion, is a big mistake The Veda is the vessel that holds all fields of knowledge all of life all of existence
diversity of thought, communication/communion vs polarization..judgement vs understanding… friendship
1/3 of 18-25 year olds believe in higher power. my question: higher than what? what do they mean by a ‘higher power’. I believe it is not what I mean by higher power. I too do not believe in what they mean by it.

Archery in the Veda. Multiple Levels
Yajur Veda, Dhanur Veda, Martial Arts, Archery, Yoda in Star Wars..Jedi Knights. Highest level of Archery and martial arts lies far beyond physical combat
But Pandits are Brahmins.
Krishna was a Kshatriya—embodiment of the Knowledge—“Bridged” Brahmins with Kshatriyas you might say,
the story/trajedy of Angkor Wat
Leaders are Kshatriyas, warrior, ruler, leader, king. tip of the arrow. Builder and maintainer of the enlightened city.
Tip of the arrow. Positive attracts Negative. Its not the role of the Pandits. Building a Shiva Temple. Building an Enlightened City. Huge challenges. Not comprehended even when explained… “I get it syndrome”.

There are many factors determining your karma over the next 12 months. The challenge of jyotish is to see what those factors are and weigh them accurately. This is no simple task. Pandit Prasad rigorously performs all the detailed calculations for the Ugadi values every year for each Moon Sign. This is only one factor, but a very important factor in revealing your karma for the year. Do note that this is only one factor and your chart must be considered as a whole by a skilled Jyotishi to be most meaningful. We do well to consider these important Ugadi values when examining our jyotish charts. If you would like to learn more, please listen to the podcast.There are also pujas than can help remedy any negative karmas that these Ugadi numbers reveal. To have Pandit Prasad perform the appropriate pujas to mitigate the difficulties and support the positive aspects your Ugadi reading reveals, please follow these instructions:
1) Click here to enter the “General Donation” page of the temple website2) DONATE TO: You will be asked to choose an option. Click on “General Donation”.3) Under AMOUNT: click on “other amount”4) A DONATION BOX WILL COME UP: enter 301.00 in the box5) In the SPECIFICS ABOUT YOUR DONATION box: write “Ugadi Puja” and enter your name, date, time and location of birth.
Your Ugadi reading follows below. You need to know the sign (according to jyotish) the Moon was in the time you were born to read the following chart. If you do not know what that Moon sign is, anyone with basic jyotish knowledge could help you determine that. The numbers on the left in the column below are the jyotish moon signs (1=Aries, 2=Taurus, etc.). The next numbers in order are Income, Expenses, Honor, Dishonor, and Lucky Number.
Tomorrow (Sunday, September 13) is a very auspicious day. There is a jyotish planetary configuration that has not occurred for 200 years and will not occur for another 200 years. All the planets, except Venus, will be in their own signs or exalted etc. Panditji suggests that you light a little ghee lamp or candle in front of a picture or murthi (statue) of Mother Divine and say a little prayer to Her on that day. Meditation on that day will be particularly beneficial.
