Astrology, Science or Intuition?




How many of us have never visited an Astrologer in our life ever?? The astrologer here need not be a person who essentially analyses our Horoscope but can be any Oracle who has thrown light on our future happenings.

We go to astrologers for two reasons. Primarily, when we are facing a lot of problems and really need motivation. Secondly, for our sheer interest on the subject sometimes that we visit an astrologer.

Whatever the reason be, it is inevitable that we connect emotionally to subjects that deal with our future, our relationships, precisely our own self. But what can Astrology really accomplish? It is undoubtedly a wonderful science that can quantitatively assess our future based on the planetary positions. Science needs degrees and scales and Astrology certainly contains it. That way it is well connected to the Cosmos or Astronomy. It is full of mathematical calculations and you can proudly say that Indians being the forefathers of Astrology really are excellent in Mathematics. That genetics would have certainly been passed on to us and we all have the capability of being great mathematicians as well as Astrologers.

Where does intuition fit here then? We say whatever cannot be measured, proved with the knowledge that the world has already presented is divine. Whatever cannot be achieved through Logic is Magic. But we need to remember it is not that it cannot be achieved rather it has been encapsulated from us, or our conscious mind. May be our subconscious mind knows the answers which we do not realize. It is these consciously unreasonable, unrealizable or gut feeling which is often termed as intuition and we certainly need to be blessed with this naturally. From my experience, it really comes from our sincere feelings. It may just be an one minute prayer, but the one that comes from within, that sprouts as a result of our wholehearted connection with the Almighty.
When these two things (Science and intuition) combine, together with good intentions to solve the problems of people, Astrologers can be of great service to the society. Today it is viewed as a business medium by many, but it is time to realize it is one our oldest tradition and gift given to us by GOD.

It is a wonderful SWOT (Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, and Threats) analysis tool that can really help us to plan a lot of things if utilized constructively and properly.

Just one thing to keep in Mind. As a firm believer of the existence of Superpower, this science has been bestowed to us by GOD who certainly reserves the right to change any of the rules just like his any other creation. If the medium is used constructively with caution, it will be of great help to us.

Let us preserve our traditional asset for the good of all !

Kids and Emotions! Empathize to Sympathize!

It was a spellbound moment for Mahima when her 4 year old kid uttered magical words difficult for her to believe!!! Yes, what can be more fascinating than a bunch of words from a little creature that has just started to observe this world, develop its own perceptions and integrate sustenance. Mahima who was trying to explain her Family members how the long scarf that she wore got caught in the wheels of the bike during her travel through the office campus ,was taken aback when she heard a little voice from a long distance asking, 
Leave about the cycle, What happened to you ?you got hurt?.  
Surprising thing was that the child was busy doing something with its play items. While she was just explaining about the travel,wheels,cycles, vis-à-vis all material things and nothing about her, the point that the child focused on made her think about its emotional mould. The mom could obviously not resist her tears the moment she unexpectedly heard this.Even though that was a very simple gesture, she felt like should could die that very moment. Not in the absolute sense, of course, just that she wanted the moment to turn eternal !  
Believe you agree these are magical words indeed considering the age and the amount of care! The best thing was that the child was again back to its regular set of activities without even showing a glimpse of utterance.  Mischief back on track :) 
Keeping the sentiments apart, the incident brought to light two things.First, the children observe each and every action of ours.Second and the most important, their mode of thinking, the kind of perceptions they develop through each situation that goes a long way in ensuring emotional stability !Integrating emotional stability should be the prime Focus of Parents starting as early as toddler stage through their early teens , the proper development of which will take care of them for the rest of their life.!
On the other day, when I was talking to another parent during a school day function, I could apparently sense her anxiety about her kid not verbose like the others. I was suddenly prompted to ask her nativity to check if the same language is spoken both at home and outside for which her answer was in negative. Understandably, this has nothing to do with the child’s learning capabilities and is just a matter of habituation to surroundings that is bound to take time. Hearing this, the parent’s face lit up as she had presumed it to be the child’s learning capacity. Stuffing such a kind of notion in the child will put a lot of emotional stress on the child making it feel worthless hampering its growth to a larger extent.
I feel noteworthy mentioning a few points here that many parents may already be aware of , but just to serve as reminder to promote better empathy,
1. Each and every child is unique. Do not indulge in comparison thereby spoiling individuality.
2. Learn to make children focus more on contribution than competition in any field they choose. Competition may ,of course, provide short term success but adaptation to contribution can promote enduring satisfaction and peace of mind that proves vital for health as a whole. In addition, concentrating on competition alone will cause more rivalries, disturbing ultimate Harmony. Contribution will rather provide a Win-Win situation.These kids can make the environment around them more amicable.
3. Use your affluence in the right way. With the parents now more capable of getting everything the child asks, more responsibility in choosing the right things becomes quintessential to make sure that they don’t possess ‘have it all’ and ‘know it all’ attitude that cultivates an imperious temperament parting them from the rest of the society.
4. Pay heed to each and every correspondence of the kid. It might hold great relevance no matter how simple it sounds to be. This will prove helpful in developing good rapport with them which goes a long way in promoting friendship and peaceful co-existance. Ignoring the correspondence considering it petty may prove costly in two ways emotionally.Either the child becomes insecure in expressing their thoughts outside for the fear of disapproval or the child becomes contemptuous to carry out things on their own terms.
Building prospective people for the society is surely no small deed. We need subtle ways to make sure that we set the right path for them to explore.

Happy Parenting!

A trusted partner for Health Care!

“ The Greatest happiness in Life comes from sharing the secrets of your enlightenment with others creating an air of mutual care and understanding!”
Yes, Thanks to the Forum for providing a platform to make that possible.
Although the post sounds trumpeting about a particular product, let me tell you, it is more akin to spreading good words about a solution that proved very handy when I needed the most.
It was the month of December, 3 years back, with the climate playing huge havoc with the health of my kid who was just 1 and half years then. He was having high Fever accompanied by persistent cold and cough .Although he had no prior symptoms of wheezing, the doctor who attended him told this could turn into one if not taken care properly at this stage. Along with other antibiotics he prescribed a supporting Formulation for long term usage to increase immunity. The same formulation has become a regular one in my monthly list now!! I make quite sure it is given at least 2 or three times a week.
Yes, I am talking about Septilin, an Ayurvedic Formulation that has become a trusted partner in many households, benefiting children and elders alike. Thanks to the ‘anti inflammatory’, ‘anti microbial’ , so many  ‘anti’ disease properties :) especially with safe ayurvedic ingredients that has went on to make it a best supporting mechanism for health. It is very efficient in improving immunity with its immune modulatory and antioxidant action in the body . It is an active anti-infection therapy due to the phagocytosis stimulating properties that activates white blood cells leading to increased disease fighting. Recommend checking out the ingredients yourself to realize more!
A few days back when I visited my kid’s physician (who is attending the child for quite a while in the recent times), she asked me whether I am giving any supporting medicine other than the regular ones she prescribed. I gave an affirmative reply. On hearing the name of the product  ,she was quite surprised and her expression conveyed  “when did you start”?  although she chose not to say. She was genuine and generous enough to respond immediately  “Good! Please continue. It helps in combating tonsillitis to a greater extent that most of the children below 6 years of age face during the stage when they try gaining immunity”. No doubt, her reply re- assured my Faith in the product!
Not just for children, it is very useful for elders too. It comes both in syrup and tablet forms for customized usage. Interestingly, saw the news rounding in the internet cosmos regarding its efficacy in treating Swine Flu too although I have no idea/ supporting materials to put forth here.

This write-up just aims to create awareness from health perspective although I believe most of you might know much more already about the product!  Putting forth your experiences will benefit the audience really! And most important, each and every child/person is different. So consulting your Doctor(who knows the body conditions of the person better  )before taking it will make more sense. If you find it really beneficial, do spread a word or two to benefit others. 

Let us share and care!!
