ARTArticleRole of 7th house in astrologyPlanetary Time Periods If a number of planets are not positive for marriage and the Main Time Period (Mahadasha) of a planet denying for marriage is in operation then the marriage will get delayed till the next time period and this will continue to happen until a good main time period starts. A very strong and positive Sub Time Period (Antardasha) Lord can still make the marriage happen but the marriage life will become a suffering and there are bright chances that it will result into a divorce.ARTArticleSamadhi and the Integral YogaTraditional paths of yoga, and in particular the yoga practice organised and codified by Patanjali, hold Samadhi as an ultimate state of consciousness that puts the seeker into a state of superconscious reality that effectively links him to the Divine reality and purpose of existence. Swami Vivekananda in his lectures on Raja Yoga describes the methods of attaining to Samadhi and the results therefrom. He indicates that Samadhi, the yogic trance, differs from entering into the sleep state by the results that eventuate.ARTArticleSamadhi, the Yogic Trance, and the Waking RealisationThe yogic trance, samadhi, is considered a goal for the spiritual seeker, providing access to the realisation of spiritual Oneness. In the integral yoga, however, dropping of the outer life and activity and entering into a trance state is not the end goal. The consciousness that is experienced in the trance state is to be brought down and made fully active in the mind, life and body of the seeker in daily life.ARTArticleSatu in 8th house of horoscopeMost of the people expect natal Satu in the 8th, would bring a lot of difficulties in their life. But we have to remember 8th house can even be a very good placement for a malefik if it is well aspected or else placed in friendly sign. The most important thing is that this placement makes the native rather serious about the matters of 8th house. This house rules the sex of unification. This will made the native very special towards his intimate relation.ARTArticleSave the Oceans to Save the Planet, Part 2: Developing SolutionsSave the Oceans to Save the Planet: Part 2 Developing Solutionsr ARTArticleSave the Oceans to Save the Planet, Part 3: A Framework for ImplementationSave the Oceans to Save the Planet, Part 3: A Framework for Implementationr ARTArticleSave the Oceans to Save the Planet, Part 4: Tough Choices to Achieve Real SolutionsThere are numerous vested interests, spanning the entire globe, which make the issues surrounding the degradation of the ocean and the ability of the planet to sustain human life and civilization, virtually impossible to resolve from our normal perspectives. Any change that seems necessary or even critical for our future is opposed by those who profit by the status quo, or those who enjoy the results of the status quo. Yet, there are some very clear directions that can provide the difference between success and failure, and therefore, between life and death.ARTArticleSave the Oceans to Save the Planet: Part 1 Understanding the IssuesSave the Oceans to Save the Planet: Part 1 Understanding the Issuesr We give little thought to the oceans of the world and the importance they have in sustaining all life on the planet. We treat the oceans as a bounty for providing fish into the human diet, and as a transport medium for the world’s trade. Those who visit the coastlines or islands of the world treat the ocean as a recreational opportunity. Heavy industries utilize the oceans as a source of oil and minerals through deep sea drilling and - soon - mining. The vastness of the oceans makes it seem, to most of us, that theirr ARTArticleSearching for Your Soul Mate? Focus on Compatibility.All the stuff of the romantic stories that have been written for thousands of years goes back to the story of Adam of Eve. As the story goes, God created a single being, Adam, that in “their” wholeness contained both male and female. God then separated this being into two bodies, Adam and Eve. And there it is: the concept of the soul mate was born. Adam and Eve were once one, then they were split into two and now seek wholeness in one another.ARTArticleSecrets for the Successful Use of Japa or Mantra for Spiritual Realisation and Daily LifeThere are tales of devotees reciting various mantras millions of times in order to achieve some boon or result in their spiritual progress. The mantra, or the recitation of a name of God, is the sound-body of the form or deity and thus, the theory goes, continued repetition of that name or sound will lead to the embodiment of the named form within oneself. And it is of course possible that after some extended period of time, the vibratory pattern in fact impresses itself upon the being and the manifestation does indeed take place.ARTArticleSelf knowledge and self strength powerSelf-knowledge Creation is evolving consciousness,ignorance and disease is frozen life energy , feelings,thoughts,consciousness. Therefore to heal it needs to melt,the life energy needs to flow and the feelings must be expressed. It is important to have a process of awareness, "therapy",Bio-energetica. I find that on the path of awareness, it is important to be honest with your feelings. The other is the best mirror of your unconcious,oppressed feelings,the best mirror of your shadow side.ARTArticleSelf-Realization ... and Beyondhe long legacy of the Yogic tradition is founded on the recognition that there is a greater Reality that exists, that the human individual is a participant, in fact a part of that reality, and that it is possible through the practices of yoga, including various psychological and psycho-physical forms of discipline, to refocus the attention away from the day to day activities of the world and toward the greater reality.ARTArticleSeven Steps to Use Fate to Shun DisappointmentSometimes, no matter what you try, a specific goal is unattainable, which could mean fate rules over your free will. The more effort you put into it, the worse the disappointment. Even though this is an unfortunate part of life, you can minimize the disappointment of fate with your awareness. Many claim you can reach any goal, as long as you “believe” you can do it.ARTArticleSeven Ways to Get Rid of LonelinessThrough personal experience, I have learned some things about loneliness that I would like to share here. My hope is that there will be someone that reads this and “gets” it, thus helping them to make a few shifts in their perspective on life and daily practices. (Please note: This article is not intended for those who have recently lost a loved one. That involves some other set of tools for grief recovery.)ARTArticleSeventh House in HoroscopeSECRET BEHIND the SEVENTH HOUSE IN HOROSCOPE Sun-Suriya Moon-Chandrar Mars-Mangal,angaraganr Mercury-Budhar Jupiter-Brihaspati, gurur Venus-sukrar Satu -Sani Rahu Ketur The 7th house mainly indicates marriage and partners.

The planets Mars and Venus play an important role in the sex life of a person. Vedic astrology has classified the yoni ( size of sex organs and sexual behavior) on the basis of NAKSHATRAS. Sex and Yoni of constellations 1. Aries, Leo, Sagittarius are Oversexed. 2. Taurus, Virgo, Caprico are sober in sex behavior. 3. Gemini, Libra, Aquarius have a secret liking for sex but never exhibit their sexual feelings.ARTArticleSex Behavior As per ZodiacSexual Behavior Of A Native It depends upon the nature of the 7th house and the planets occupying the same: If the seventh house is occupied or aspected by Mars, the person will be angry in the act and will destroy the pleasure. If the same planet is Jupiter, the person will make ardent love. If it is Satu then the person will have a mean outlook for the union and may behave like an animal in the act. If it is Rahu, the person behaves as if he is stealing something and will be shy in the act. If it is Ketu, the person will be hypersensitive and will have premature ejaculation.r ARTArticleShani In Indian MythologyLike all other aspects of Indian astrology, there are a number of mythological legends associated with Shani as well.

Take some fresh morning air and meditate as this helps to focus on my day. Drink lots and lots of water. As this helps to keep me energize and as well as hydrated. I plan my day before I start it, just take 5 min of time and plan what to eat, what to study, where to go, which works to be done, etc. Spend time with family more rather than social media. Switch to amazing books and set a date to complete it. Set realistic goals and plan accordingly how to achieve it daily without missing a single day.r ARTArticleSpecific Inca ations of Gods and Their Powers in the Hindu TraditionIn spiritual and religious traditions around the world, we see a proliferation of names and personalities of God. This has engendered much confusion for people who talk about monotheism versus polytheism.ARTArticleSpiritual Experiences and Spiritual RealisationsOur vital nature crazes ‘excitement’ and to gather ‘experiences’. It is no different for the spiritual aspirant than for the rest of humanity in this regard. Spiritual experiences tend to be extraordinary in the sense that they go beyond the everyday perceptions or sensations and tend to have a power and immediacy that demands the attention of the seeker. In many cases, the seeker describes the experience as more real than their normal state of awareness, and in some cases even as ‘life-changing’.ARTArticleSpiritual Experiences Are RealFor the individual who has a spiritual experience, one of the most notable characteristics is the absolute and incontrovertible ‘reality’ of the experience. Yet, people who live primarily in the surface consciousness tend to treat such experiences, when related, as somehow less real or even unreal, compared to the experience of the outer world. Terms such as dream, hallucination, or delusion frequently are used, and in many cases, the person having such inner experiences is lumped in with those who require some form of counseling or mental health support.ARTArticleSpiritual Experiences Are RealFor the individual who has a spiritual experience, one of the most notable characteristics is the absolute and incontrovertible ‘reality’ of the experience.

However, our findings tell us that other spiritual laws are just as important. “Nature is the source of all true knowledge. She has her own logic, her own laws, she has no effect without cause nor invention without necessity.” Leonardo da Vinci ARTArticleSpiritual Liberation and the Transformation of Life on EarthSpiritual seekers have long looked at liberation from the bondage of life in the world, and oneness with the Transcendent, the Absolute, as the key focus to demand their attention. This is of course an essential step in freeing the individual from the current limits of mind, life and body, and yet, if it is treated as an exit rather than a necessary stage for the transformation of life, it leads away, rather than towards the universal creation and its intention in manifestation. Sri Aurobindo has set a further stage of actual transformation of life to create a divine life on earth.ARTArticleSpiritual Reasons For Repeated and Seemingly Accidental Meetings With Same StrangerThe phenomenon of repeatedly, unexplainably, seeing the same stranger on the street, in your office building, at the grocery store, or elsewhere, instead of all the other people you could possibly bump into, is a fairly common occurrence. We believe there are spiritual explanations for this experience. We recently received the following e-mail:ARTArticleSpiritual Solutions Within Traditional Treatments for Depression and Anxiety“Nourishing the soul by adding a healthy spiritual diet to traditional treatments can open new channels of hope and confidence. The joy of the soul, in turn, weakens the debilitating fear and demoralization of the depressed psyche.” While the our world continues to absorb disturbing headlines of the current death toll from COVID, political chaos including an unprecedented siege on our nation’s Capitol, and ongoing restrictions and changes within our communities, depression and anxiety are at an all time high.ARTArticleSpirituality: Five Reasons For Terrible RelationshipsBad relationships are all too common. In the beginning, it frequently appears to hold so much promise, but then it falls apart. It’s a mystery as to why some relationships turn sour, until you consider the spiritual side of things. Mystics suggest that life is largely about spiritual lessons. While relationships may not always give you what you want on an ego-self level, spiritual growth is often part of the plan.
