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.
