  • Atrophy Astrology – Part 10

    May 24, 2026, 2:01 PM IST

    If we rely on scriptures and not Bhakti traditions, free-will has some relevance. The romanticism of Bhakti traditions might have underplayed this. The question that arises is: to what extent does free-will alter destiny? Naturally,…

  • Atrophy astrology

    May 9, 2026, 3:46 PM IST

  • Time: The greatest traitor and the biggest lie part 12

    May 3, 2026, 9:31 PM IST

    Once Time is perceived from its smallest unit—where nothing else exists (the Adwaita state)—the correlation between action and consequence is immediate. However, Time is experienced within the body and then projected outward. The moment it…

  • Time: The greatest traitor and the biggest lie Part 11

    April 20, 2026, 2:54 PM IST

    In the last 3 parts, we argued that when the basis of consideration is matter or material, Time is definitely a traitor. Scientifically, we saw that time is not considered when we are dealing with…

  • Time: The greatest traitor and the biggest lie – Part 10

    March 26, 2026, 10:21 PM IST

    Most advanced as well as rudimentary minds in the contemporary world agree that the world is causative. If one sows a seed, it grows into a plant. If the seed is not sown, a tree…

  • Time: The greatest traitor and the biggest lie – Part 9

    March 20, 2026, 11:09 PM IST

    Time is not what it appears to be. It is not a river carrying reality forward, but a structural framework within which reality already exists. This is a scientific statement. Here reality means matter and…

  • Monetizing the Infinite — Part 2

    March 8, 2026, 12:24 PM IST

    Does monetising the infinite mean compromising morally and surrendering to selfish priorities—converting everything into measurable personal advantage? Perhaps we may add that when humans lose moral courage on all counts, they compromise. At present, this…

  • Monetizing the infinite

    February 22, 2026, 3:34 PM IST

    There was a time when astrology revealed light, education cultivated wisdom, and time invited contemplation. Today, astrology predicts stock movements, education guarantees packages, and time measures productivity per hour. Progress, apparently. Astrology can return to…

  • Atrophy Astrology – Part 7

    February 15, 2026, 9:31 PM IST

    The divisional chart used to examine spirituality is D20. In Part 6 this was not discussed. Before doing so, the different layers of spirituality must be understood. One layer arises when a Guru is present…

  • Atrophy Astrology- Part 6

    February 8, 2026, 3:38 PM IST

    It is generally accepted that the 9th house in the horoscope is the house of the Guru and also of Dharma. In the Kalapurusha Kundali, this belongs to Jupiter—the other Guru, as mentioned in Part…

  • Part 5. Experiential education: What to do now

    December 31, 2025, 6:00 PM IST

    Experiential is what we can easily do, but we don’t do. It is easy to start practising but difficult to understand or learn. I say learn because it is what I do all by myself….

  • Atrophy astrology – Part 5

    December 17, 2025, 4:41 PM IST

    Rahu is inclined to enlighten with the sheer playfulness of senses. Ketu necessitates abstinence and control over the senses. Astrologically, for Rahu to enlighten, it has to be powerful, but Ketu needs to be feeble….

  • Atrophy astrology – Part 4

    December 10, 2025, 1:49 PM IST

  • Time: The greatest traitor and the biggest lie – Part 8

    December 3, 2025, 11:51 AM IST

  • Atrophy Astrology – Part 3

    October 8, 2025, 9:23 PM IST

    September 16, 2025, 10:33 PM IST

    What is so special about sages like Vishwamitra or Vashista? They while being physically in T1/W1, were mentally or emotionally in T-E. They had considerable control over the inner worlds including our world. They obviously…
