India, which is the land of the origin of four of the seven
world religions: Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism and Sikhism, and
has the most efficacious and numerous sadhanas (spiritual practices),
has also given to the world the yoga system which is popular
all over the world. Very few astrologers know that Hindu astrology
is the most developed spiritual astrology which is somehow,
till now, kept as a great secret with the saints of India.
Yet rarely people in India go to astrologer to ask questions
about their spiritual life for a very excellent reason. The
people of India have the supreme advantage of learning their
spiritual lessons first at home from the elders in childhood,
later they seek the guidance of some spiritual person, saints,
yogis, gurus and other holy persons. Then they have the supreme
advantage of reading such rare spiritual literatures, in the
Ramayana, the Mahabharata and the Puranas
that they get most of the answers to their spiritual questions
from these books. My experience in U.S.A. and with people from
the west coming to consult me in India has been that they seek
answers which are sometimes quite ticklish because they have
got interested in spiritual practices and, have rarely been
in so advantageous position as India has of getting spiritual
guidance from so many sources and so many persons.
