By K.N.
Rao, from Astrology and Faith, Intro
The astrologer is not a doctor. He should keep himself within
the limits of his own vidya (knowledge) and not pose
as a miracle worker.
What Maharishi Parashara has suggested is some stotra recitation,
charity etc. In any scheme of faith cure, prayer to God is primary.
It should be done according to the religion one belongs to.
Muslims, Christians, Sikhs, Buddhists, Jains etc. have done
it sincerely, with deep faith, and have stories of fully successful
or half successful cures to report. These claims should be closely
examined astrologically by an astrologer, and medically by a
doctor. It is a double explanation of such phenomena that will
restore faith and keep intact a belief in a good system of medicine
and prayer - BOTH.
The astrologer is aware of Prarabdha (destined karma)
in human life and knows that in some cases nothing can be done.
Doctors generally keep treating a patient even when they know
that it is a case without any hope because they have to, because
they are paid for it or because they are greedy. Astrologers
also prescribe very costly remedies and keep exploiting their
clients. But then it will not solve your problem. What is the
answer? Surrender to the lord in whatever form you worship him.
Believe in prayer to God and surrender to Him. Does it solve
the problem? The answer is mostly yes, if you pray honestly
and lead an honest life. There are cases when nothing worked,
there are cases when it worked partly, and there are cases where
it worked like a miracle. It is better to try the well known
spiritual method, remedy of honest prayer and increase your
tapobalam (spiritual strength).
The Suggested Steps are:
1. If the patient can pray himself it is best as I did in 2000
when doctors in Delhi and Lucknow said that I would never be
able to walk again. I took no medicines. I did my japam, Vishnu
Sahasranam, Narayana Kavacham, and did some exercises. In two
years I was able to walk without a walker, climb stairs both
in my own house and the Bharatiya
Vidya Bhavan.
2. If the patient is unable to pray himself as happens in some
cases, someone in the family who loves him and who is interested
in his getting cured, sincerely, should do it.
3. There are cases when the entire family prays and what happens
after that is described as a miracle by all.
4. In some cases where a kamakandi pandit is asked to do it.
Make sure that the pandit knows karmakanda properly and is pure,
spiritually disciplined and not greedy. These days, it is like
asking for the impossible.
5. There are cases where Mahatmas have showered their grace
on a patient and cured him or her. These are rare but very amazing.
In short, what is being suggested through these case studies
(in the book, Astrology and Faith), is - never stop
praying whatever the circumstance.
