Role of Astrology in our lives- Beyond Predictions | The link between Karma, Time & Destiny.

Dhruv Gupta52:49

Transcription

If it's already been written, how does jotisha will help us? Will it help us just to prepare? Where is the concept of free will and the karma if it has to happen? Wonderful. And what am I doing here? I'm simply there to exist.

The very reason jotusha exists is because it can be used to help humanity come out of serious problem. So when someone comes to me with a jataka for example, someone who's facing a very terrible disease or whatever it is in their family, we look at the chart, we see exactly what is going on and if it is very grave and horrible, we do convey the same to the family members saying that you know it can be very dangerous and this is the time frame wherein it's the most dangerous. This is a time frame when it's least dangerous. And in certain cases where it's necessary to mention that there is a possibility of a fatality, we also do mention that to the right person who needs to be conveyed this matter. So it can help them prepare for the same.

>> Are there any remedies also which can uh negate the influence of those planets?

>> Absolutely. So jotusha basically gives you clues about the future. When a joti or an astrologer gives you a parihara for example solution sometimes the jotushi is also part of your karma. It's that these pariharas were already part of your destiny. The fact that you'd come across them, the fact that you do them and the fact that they help you are already part of the family. So pariharas are basically japa, dana, tapa and dhana. Japa is continuous chantry in association with dhana which is meditation. Tapus is austerity, giving up harmful things. And dana is doing good, giving in charity.

So this is a very specific human trait to think about the future.

>> So thank you so much for coming here and you Krishna G. I'm also very honored to be here today and to share my journey in jotasa and some ideas some insights whatever bhagan wills that we should discuss today.

Absolutely. Thank you very much.

>> We'll try to be as clear a channel as God wants.

>> So you know my first u and it's really something which I wanted to know.

>> How did really jotak came into your life? When was the first inclination? I mean we've read you founded a research institute for astrology at the age of 13.

>> When people are just in the fifth standard you know. So definitely you have come here in this age for a mission but still when did you really realize that you had an inclination towards Jotisha? Let's let's go with your earliest earliest memory as a child.

>> Absolutely. So it all started with the Bhagat Gita because Bhagat Gita is a foundation of Jotisha. uh if you study jotia without Bhagat Gita of course it's possible you can still study it but you would lose what what so the entire foundation of jota the philosophy behind it is deeply rooted in the Gita the theory of karma the law of karma in fact and there are people who study jota without touching the Bhagavat Gita which is okay but still the best way of doing it is to start with the Gita I was fortunate enough at the age of uh six to be introduced to the Gita and my mother is to be credited for that. She introduced me to the Bhagat Gita despite not having studied it herself. She just read it a few times but uh she decided that that's the best path for her children. So me and my sister both started Bhagwat Gita very early.

>> She started at the age of three.

>> And Bhagwat Gita at the age of three.

>> Absolutely. So guided by my mom a few words and then she used to repeat it and her memory was fantastic. So she picked it up really quick and by Bhagwan's grace I memorized the entire Gita by the age of seven and at that time even though I did not understand the Gita directly memorizing it has really helped me because in different moments in my life I remember those verses because those verses come back as flashbacks exactly when I need them where I need them and sometimes even even even in a prophetic sense in the sense it just comes up during random moments and then a day or two later that verse is so significant in my life and this has happened a few times. Uh so it started with a gita and from there it went to Sanskrit because that's the natural progression.

>> So when you talk about memorizing the entire Gita, what language was it in at that point of time?

>> It was fully Sanskrit proper.

>> So without even knowing Sanskrit, you memorize Sanskrit.

>> Just just memorizing it. Yeah. Because it's most of the Indian bhashasy the languages that we have are very close to Sanskrit. almost all of them uh borrow about 80% of their either their grammatical structure or their vocabulary from Sanskrit. So uh it was quite easy. I can guarantee anyone listening to us in the podcast today can pick the language up quite easily. And there are studies to show that learning Sanskritam really helps you develop other aspects of your critical thinking as well as uh the way you approach languages, the way you approach the world. It has an influence on you.

Every language has a subtle influence. Sanskritum has a spiritual influence also in your life because the moment you start to learn Sanskrit many doors open for you while studying Sanskrit just near the place where I was learning Sanskrit there was a class where they were teaching jota it was called the Diva joti college of astrology and it was in Canada uh the local language of Karnataka I was just learning Canada at that point I wasn't able to speak it god's grace today I speak Canada uh and I write and read as well and that was Actually because of jota I learned Canada just so that I was able to learn jot.

>> So how did you draw yourself? I mean how did jota came in your life?

>> So it was just the next classroom and one day while just finishing my Sanskrit classes and walking out I noticed some people speaking about astrology and astrological concepts and that's when I asked my parents if it's possible for me to study. My mom said of course why not let's go and ask them. The teachers inside thought my parents wanted to study. They never knew a kid of 10 would want to study jota and they were like very apprehensive initially because it's a heavy subject.

>> So what were the other kids like? What how old were they in that?

>> They were all I think the other students were all 40 plus. So there was no one who was my age and it was pretty strange for them as well. They were just looking at me and no uh this this child is not going to study jota because it's a heavy subject. I understand them of course because there are many things in jota which are heavy. You talk about disease, you talk about death and so many topics that might be a little bit heavy for children. So that was their first concern and they were kind enough to let me study though and uh the first few classes I was still grasping the language. So I was unable to understand it very well and hence my parents took me to a bookstore nearby and uh they told me pick whatever book you like from here about. So I was just walking through the a I remember it was the Sapna book house in Mysore and uh there was an astrology section. So I went there and looking through the books I picked up the books by Dr. Ban.

>> Very beautiful titles there was a book called the astrology for beginners very simple so I picked that up and I went home and while I was on the way back home I almost finished reading about you know 1/4 of the book because I was so interested and even in the bookshop I started to read that book. that that was one of the first introductions for me into Jodisha and.

>> Could you understand the book at that point of time?

>> Yes. Yes. Yes. And somehow the interesting part here for me as well which I'm still trying to understand how is that the concepts of Jotas when I began to study them were so natural they they felt as though I already know them. Uh the different concepts be it the conjunctions, the yogas, the effects they produce, it felt so natural. It never felt like someone is making an abstract correlation between two unrelated concepts. Generally when we approach jotusha that's the first thought I have seen many people get. This is how are you connecting two completely abstract concepts to one another. But when I started to study jotusha the first thing I felt was that there is a connection 100% there is a connection and it felt like I'm just relearning that connection. And that was the first thing. Dr. Davy Raman's books are amazing. He he uh he he's my guru uh if you look at it that way. My other gurus of course were there was one very wonderful person his name was Surinara and Abhhata Mah and he taught me the basic concepts of jota but apart from him I consider Dr. BB to be my proper guru of jot.

>> His books.

>> Absolutely his books long after he left uh left the earth he's his books have still left a very strong mark a lot of students of jota are inspired by his works amazing works so that was my first introduction and from there immediately because I had a background in Sanskritam I approached the brahhatashra shastra because it's been acclaimed by a lot of scholars and the brah jatika so I picked up the brah jataka as well and the brah jata is something every student of jota should study and uh from there theatas shastra it's a voluminous text again um and I studied both of the scriptures directly in Sanskrit made notes on them and so many more books so every day I used to read for at least 3 hours minimum.

>> And that was since I was 7 years old but as when I grew up that that become became more rapid yeah yeah and mainly history main subject that I was super interested in since a child was history I used to always be I used to He caught uh red-handed with history books uh every single time. My parents were worried like why is he reading about the World War and World War I and World War II and why is he discussing these concepts at lunch and dinner. So for some time I recall they banned me from some of these books because they thought I was just getting too obsessed with history. But looking back um I think history is very helpful.

>> Because uh it intersects with jotisha in such a beautiful way.

>> Yes. It helps you correlate with your studies.

>> And if you understand the past at least to a certain degree you can understand the future better and that's exactly where history comes in as well. So that was my journey in jota. Uh it is a mixture of Sanskritam and then Bhagavat Gita which gave the spiritual foundation. Sanskritam which gave the authenticity of the knowledge directly and uh a background in uh in English and history really helps you uh navigate everything here and there. So that's how I was able to approach it. uh but at the same time I absolutely admire people who study mathematics and physics because those are two subjects which I did not get a good background in uh during my schooling because I went into a completely different uh area of studies. Obviously maths did play a role but I never got to delve as deep as I would like to into these subjects of mathematics and physics. So now I'm going into that.

>> So you would say a foundation in maths, physics and science and then studying Sanskrit.

>> Yes. And then approaching jota as the holistic way of.

>> Absolutely that would be amazing that would be the best combination that's the best so now when I teach jota students uh I specifically encourage people with a mathematical and say physics background to enter jota and they are some of the best students because the way they understand astrology is much better than say someone who studied uh say economics and then enters jota right so that's also good they would approach jota uh in a different manner. The people who study physics and math, they approach jota with purity and uh it's easier for them to even approach the spiritual concepts. Uh contradictory to what we might think we might sometimes think that people who study maths and physics kind of might become more rigid but I have seen them to be extremely creative and understandable.

>> Yes, absolutely.

>> Because they want they all want proofs whenever they do something.

>> Absolutely. And that's how you should do it. That's how you should do it. the best way of approaching jot. So at that time I was always obsessed with teaching and creating systems to teach people the best way possible even though I never been to school myself. an absurd thought but anyways uh that's how I started off and uh at the age of 10 when I started studying jotisha it was quite fast um at the age of 11 I picked up most of the concepts at the age of 12 I completed two or three examinations in the in the Canada language as well as the English language completed maybe five or six different courses and by the age of 13 I had finished the the last uh examination that's required for jotan and uh By thagan's grace, I graduated with honors and everything. And at the age of 14, uh once I finished all of my basic examinations, I also completed a literature degree in Sanskrit by then which is called Sahitya, the government of Karnataka. Uh and the only one left is Vidwat, which is the scholarly level of Sanskrit. And so I finished my sahitya and I immediately uh with pen and paper in my house just founded symbolically something called Pragya Jotusha. The reason why I chose the name was pragnya is basically consciousness. It's wisdom.

>> And pragnya is the one who is the receptacle of wisdom. So I just chose pragya as the first word and jotisha obviously astrology and the vic astrology science of light. So I put together these two and I said I'm going to start pragya jotisha that was more of a like a personal research thing which I had set up.

So tell me one thing if jotisha is a science you know it works on a lot of data right.

>> Yes.

>> And you yourself use the software to see the gr at the planetary alignments.

>> Wouldn't computer be able to predict more or intuition comes here into play?

>> Absolutely. First of all, data science and jotusha are closely connected. Some people say that astrology is a spiritual science and computers cannot do much in it but jotusha is technically there is a spiritual side to Of course there is a very strong spiritual side, intuitive side. I'll come to that very soon. But about 80% 90% of every single treatise in jota is full of rules. If this then that.

>> Simple. If this combination then this result, if this combination, then this result.

>> Logically driven.

>> Logical. And not every one of these combinations requires you to apply your intuition.

>> Some of these combinations are direct. The sages do not keep telling you in every verse to apply your intuition and then pick the outcome. They say that for certain combinations of course. So since a bulk of it is simple rules or complex rules, you can definitely apply artificial intelligence and machine learning onto these rules and they should technically.

>> To predict.

>> Yes. And if they do not work, you have to go back to the system and ask why it did not work. Exactly.

>> Okay. Check the algorithm.

>> Yes. And any exception to the rule is definitely a problem. So we cannot dismiss those exceptions saying that this is uh this requires intuition. We instead need to ask why did this event for example say cancer. We're studying cancer for example. We have 10,000 charts we've collected and we want to study why cancer happens. So we identify a specific combination uh that results in cancer and we apply it uniformly on all the charts. But even if there are 10 charts wherein that combination in the entire lifetime does did not result in cancer, we have to ask why and go to the next step. We cannot dismiss even 10 charts as a uh sort of uh thing where intuition need or something. Okay. So however, why studying jotia since jotia is such a vast field we're talking about constellations some of them which are uh some of them who whose stars are like 10 times 100 times or even a million times larger than our existence sometimes even larger than our sun. It's so vast so humongous in space that it's nearly impossible to completely understand how they work and affect human beings. So in this vastness of uncertainty we cannot dismiss the power of intuition. The intu the intuitive power is what gave birth to jotusha. These sages were at high levels of intuition. We are nothing in comparison. I personally am not even a grain of sand in comparison to the intuition that led to the birth of jotusha. So the intuition that we all have personally is so small but it's so important at the same time.

>> Important.

>> And the same intuition that resulted in the creation of jota is what can help us interpret these concepts. So since there is so much uncertainty even data cannot penetrate the vastness of uncertainty that we have at the moment. So intuition can just it's like a torch. Data is more like a knife trying to cut through it. It's not possible. It's too much.

>> Intuition gives you that light exactly where you need.

>> See where you need to go. So jotisha you saying it's related to people first and then the collective consciousness of a group of people.

>> Yes.

>> Which can include like a country.

>> Yes.

>> Even regions sometimes.

>> Yes.

>> So where is the concept like if you say this has to happen?

>> Correct.

>> Where is the concept of free will and the karma if has to happen?

>> Wonderful.

>> And what am I doing here? I'm simply there to exist.

>> That that's a wonderful question and uh it has answers on three levels. uh because the world around us is technically as per our scriptures as per the adita siddhant which I follow personally vedanta the world is like a mirage everything around us this is the words of my gurus so I'm quoting that uh the world is basically a mirage as it's mentioned in the ashtavakra as the Bhagat Gita hints as adita hints it's a mirage none of it that we see around us is technically real in the way that we perceive it it's just a different arrangement of molecules and atoms at any given point of time. Very temporary. The next moment it may cease to exist. It will cease to exist at some point of time. And in the grand scale of time, the number of times that this that this arrangement of molecules keeps changing is so infinite. It's like continuous. It just keeps happening constantly. So the world is technically a mirage. And this has already been understood by our sages millennia back. And they have spoken about it. How did they understand this? Through deep meditation. Despite having no knowledge of how uh the atoms uh work directly uh in terms of using machines to identify them, they transcended the necessity of machines and understood it through their meditation. Yes.

>> And they gave it to us in the form of the shastras. So they believe that everything basically happens for a reason and everything has already happened. Time itself is an illusion as per Adita because Adwita believes in oneness. There is only one. There is not plenty. There is not three, four, five. There are no three states of time. Past, present and future. If it's already been written.

>> Yes.

>> How does jotisha will help us? You know will it help us just to prepare?

>> But also sometimes when you know so many people are predicting left, right and center. Today you open a YouTube.

>> Yes.

>> And everyone is predicting you know and the graver the prediction the more the views the more the views you feel that person is right.

>> It's fearongering going on and you know after nothing happens you get disillusioned and again the science takes a.

>> Backseat.

>> Backseat.

>> Yes.

>> Absolutely absolutely and such people have been definitely ruining uh jotusha for a very long time which is why there are rationalists in opposition of jota which I completely understand so I will answer this question in two parts One, how we should approach jota from a material sense. From our perspective, a very simple thing is as per the shastras. For example, Taladivika mentions that if you lead a satic and a spiritual life and if you do good things, tapas that is austerity, sacrificing uh unnecessary things and harmful things. Step one, sacrifice harmful things, harmful for yourself, harmful for others. Step two, sacrifice unnecessary things that are impeding your spiritual progress. So if you follow all of these things, the effects of the graas are lesser on you. So this is very clearly mentioned in the shastras, it does hint at a sense of free will when you look at the verse on face value. So this is what I tell to everyone out there, everyone who is listening on YouTube, everybody. Uh the very reason jota exists is because it can be used to help humanity come out of serious problems. When someone comes to me with a jataka, for example, someone who's facing a very terrible disease or whatever it is in their family, we don't just look at the chart and say this person is a lost cause and it's done with. Instead, we look at the chart, we see exactly what is going on. And if it is very grave and horrible, we do convey the same to the family members saying that you know it can be very dangerous and this is the time frame wherein it's the most dangerous. This is a time frame when it's least dangerous. And in certain cases where it's necessary to mention that there is a possibility of a fatality. We also do mention that to the right person who needs to be conveyed this matter. So it can help them prepare for the same. In certain cases wherein we notice that a chart has a specific combination that indicates a disease in the future but the person is hailed healthy now we first of all uh what I do personally is to ask them whether that disease has occurred in their family or not first of all so once we approach from the family we understand the the uh the connection to the disease the person who's being spoken to also understands it and from there we mentioned pariharas. So pariharas are basically japa, dhana, tapa and dhana. So these are four aspects. Japa is continuous chanting in association with dhana which is meditation. Tapus is austerity giving up harmful things.

>> And eventually unnecessary things and dana is doing good giving in charity. So this is one of the top things I recommend to people. I just tell them to go to a nearby gaala where sick and injured cows are being taken care of. This is something anyone can follow. Anyone listening to us today can follow this. All you have to do is go to a nearby Goshala and any place where sick and injured animals are being taken care of do something good for them in your best capacity. So something good for gummata or any other animal and that will result in a change in the way uh the graha's influences uh affect you in your life. However, there's a second side to this which I'll quickly mention which is on a higher level. People who are only interested in the way the world works uh you can consider the first perspective and that works perfectly well for everyone. For those of you who have a philosophical interest in this on a slightly higher level, look at the 11th chapter of the Gita where some interesting things happen. Lord Krishna says very clearly that Arjuna, you are just an instrument. Arjuna, you are just an instrument. Be one. All the events that are supposed to happen have already taken place. And he shows him the warriors are getting crushed under the force of divinity in the form of time. As you mentioned, Bhagwan manifests himself as time and they're already gone. They're being dragged in by time, the forces of time. And he sees a visual representation of that right in front of him on the battlefield. And he sees the past, the present, and the future all flashed together. He sees multiple incarnations of the same person. He sees so many things that are not even describable uh by anyone and that's exactly what happens in the vishwarupa much more than that. So essentially what Lord Krishna is telling us there is very deep he's saying it's already happened time does not exist as past present in the future it is already there and it's just one on a very very high level. So all these events that are supposed to happen in this version of our world or many versions of our world multiverse kind of concept it's all done. There is a version in which whatever has to happen is already happened. So you're just living through your currently in the past technically. So that's what our scriptures say. So at this higher level everything the boundaries between everything break down including good, bad, evil, right, wrong everything breaks down completely. So uh this is not a level which we need to delve into as as ordinary human beings but our sages have told us that there is this level where everything breaks down and there's just one infinite reality.

>> So it's our duty to identify and realize that.

>> But until then as we live in the world.

>> As normal human beings we must adhere to the concept that there is free will at least to an extent wherein we can influence the outcome of our decisions.

>> Yes. uh you know something like this paramman yoga used to explain by doing these those four things you know or just being a simple life satwic life or doing certain techniques like the kria yoga which is very well mentioned in the Bhagat Gita it simply says that.

>> Even a little practice of this inward religion can save you from dire affairs and colossal suffering.

>> That's why you know sometimes when there's a plane crash.

>> Why everyone dies but just a couple of people they magically survive.

>> True.

>> It was destined. It could have been predicted that this plane will crash. But some people get out of that situation.

>> Probably because of their past karmmas. And that shows that free will does play a role. If you have a very strong desire to fulfill certain karmmas that will get you out of a impending situation.

>> Absolutely.

>> So Aya now as we understand.

>> That our planetary position are the causes and the indicators for certain events to happen. So are there any events which are directly related with the consciousness or kmas of people? It could be collective karma of a group of people, a family sometimes or and which cannot be predicted through jota or the planetary cycles.

>> Everything that happens essentially is encoded in our environment. So everything is part of jota. However, about 80% of that which is supposed to happen cannot be deciphered by our understanding of jotisha. So what jotisha actually is is the entire environment. When jotusha talks about grahas it means graha technically means that which is capable of influence technically an influencer of events. Everything is a graha. This table is a graha in its own way. It has an influence. uh this this this uh this mug is exerting an influence on the table. Me, you, everyone around us, we're all graas.

>> Can I say every atom with a nucleus in the center and a proton and electron? It's actually like a.

>> Absolutely yeah they they are they're all individual graas. So graa does not mean planet. Graha and planet are completely different definitions. Okay. People conflate them which is why they say astrology considers a sun and a moon to be planets. No astrology never considers the sun and the moon to be planets rather it calls them grahas. So of all the grahas nine of them are really significant in jotusha. However, there are so many more points and so many more influential sections which have not been completely studied. Hence jotusha impacts everything. So to answer your question it impacts everything and everything is part of its framework. uh everything that is supposed to happen except except something that is called da that is not part of chotishra. DVA is when divine will intervenes when Bhagavan himself intervenes to change something which almost never happens because Bhagwan is essentially part of kala. So it just happens the way he wills and everything that he supposedly does is also part of his own leela. So it's already there. Uh but there are very few instances where he decides to make changes which is again extremely rare in the timeline of the universe. So uh essentially everything is part of jota. But how much of that can we understand? Maybe less than less than 10% is what we have been instructed and of that 10% how much can we actually apply on a day-to-day basis less than 1%.

>> Okay. So jotisha gives you the causes.

>> Correct.

>> It gives you the effects what will happen it's destined to happen.

>> Which is the science which gives us a solution that today I show you my chart and you say okay d you know I see a difficult time for you from let's say this year to this year 2 years from now correct health-wise.

>> You know you've indicated me and I have to take it there are there any remedies also which can uh negate the influence of those planets.

>> Absolutely so jota basically gives you clues about the future. There is a different branch of jot which is beyond just the stars and the graas which is called which is the knowledge of the past, the present and the future all as one and that only some sages have had who are called. Parasi was one of them. He was akalagyani. Even without making calculations he could already see the future. He was at that level. But for us ordinary earthlings, he gave us the science of jotia so that we can at least experience a small part of that, a very small part of that experience. So he gave us jota and he clearly mentioned that one who wants to study jotusha must follow said rules which we will discuss. And uh he told us to use it in a specific way. He gave us clues everywhere. It's clues and some of them are so abstract. So probably some of the concepts he did not want us to fully understand. So he only gave us parts of it. Similarly other sages have given us parts of jashha and now putting it all together in the end of their texts and somewhere in between they also mention the pariharas. So when you asked about the solutions that's a very important question he also has given us pariharas. What to do when you know we get into some trouble and in our life we enter a difficult time frame or as you asked you see your chart and you notice that a very negative period is coming about and then you want to solve it beforehand. Now the shastras say that there are certain types of karma and for our audience what is relevant is that we can talk of praabda karma. So pradha karma is like an arrow that's already been let out the bow of Lord Shiva. it reaches its target uh no one can stop it. Absolutely no one can stop it except if Bhagan himself wills to change the course of that arrow. So the kmas that we do over several births some of them cannot be stopped. It just has to happen. So the good thing here is jota when when a joti or an astrologer gives you a parihara for example a solution sometimes the jotushi is also part of your ker.

>> Okay.

>> And it's just like when a doctor cures a disease for you for example solves your problem it is not that he changed your destiny rather that he was part of your destiny the doctor was supposed to come at that time in your life and he was supposed to give you a specific solution which you were supposed to benefit benefit from and get cured. Similarly, if you happen to meet a joti or if you yourself look into your chart and you notice a negative combination and you follow the japa, dhana, homa and other sadhas and that helps you. It's not that any of these things changed the course of your destiny because destiny as per our shastras is absolute. It's that these pariharas were already part of your destiny. the fact that you'd come across them, the fact that you do them and the fact that they help you are already part of the fabric.

>> So I just want to share with you you know last evening we were together for four hours and um I don't know for what reason I don't have the exact time of my birth but I know my birth date and I asked Abhiga that question since he does personal astrology also I don't have the time and it was very fascinating. I've never heard of this concept and I would just like him to explain this concept of how you can really find out about a wide range of the time some range by that question which I asked at that particular time when in my life jotish prodigy was there and I asked this question I've never never shown my chart because I don't have one to any to anyone so what was the thing how did you uh the particular moment I asked this question.

>> Yes.

>> So that's called prashna.

>> Prashna, right.

>> It's a it's a higher form of jot which most people would find very absurd because logically it seems like a vague large fallacy. In fact, the first time when I noted it, I was like, wait, what? You're just going to take the time when a person asks a question and identify things about them, I was surprised. But then I applied it on people uh several charts, several people, and it seemed to work in manners that surprised me. And it works on a simple philosophical uh backdrop very simple. It is if you asked a question about your future. If you ever had the thought on what is going to happen to me in the future, very few people have that in the first place among human beings. About 80% of human beings do not think about their future much. 20% do approximately and animals don't most of them. That that's what differentiates us from animals. So this is a very specific human trait to think about the future and this occurs during specific moments in our life.

>> And as the shastras say time itself is just one. There is no difference between the past, present and future. So if at any moment a human being with his own mind is asking what is going to happen to himself or others around him in the future. It is special and that special moment occurs only some times in our lives, some parts of our day when we genuinely question about the future. There are times where when we're anxious about what's going to happen next, that's different. What we're talking about is a desire to understand oneself and the future of our purpose and everything else that occurs only few times. So at that moment when you approach a jotushi and a jotushi senses that you want to know about the future by looking at you your deina the way you speak the way you ask a question you cast a chart immediately for that moment for that place for that time and you identify the energy of the graas around that person which prompted him to ask a question which is again predestined you were supposed to ask that question at that time.

>> We were supposed to align together and I asked because I asked that question almost 3 hours and I was very reluctant because I had no idea of my time and I asked you that question.

>> So the moment when you actually make the move and ask a specific question you cast a chart and then based on the chart uh you can identify quite a few things about the person themselves. Again this might seem like magic. So for people who are initially approaching jotusha I'd not recommend directly going into this. You can start with the basic foundations of jataka itself and then slowly transition into prashna. It's a lot of fun and uh the same time it it it requires a certain level of um faith uh in the science and a certain level of uh spiritual sadena as well. very simple spiritual sata nothing complex nothing no tantra no mantra I've never done any of that I have never gotten into any of that the only thing I've ever done is gri chapa and meditation so that's all you need.

>> Okay. And quite a few times you are associated with doom predictions.

>> Yes.

>> Okay. And uh why don't you predict something happy also good things or you really feel from 2020 onwards only bad things are coming our way.

>> Great question. So the thing is uh The interesting thing is uh in every one of my predictive videos I include positive predictions.

>> Nobody cares for those.

>> Nobody cares. Out of 20 minutes I speak for about 15 minutes about amazing days to come, awesome technologies that will help people. Medical breakthroughs uh some amazing uh things that will transform the economies of countries. have spoken about India's growth since like uh last four five years constantly and the upliftment of a billion people out of poverty and so many positive things but people don't care uh they're going to pick that one minute where I speak about something negative and write write 10page articles about that one negative thing and u I try my best to keep things positive uh most of my videos if you actually watch them they'll have a lot of positive predictions um Unfortunately, people gravitate towards negative things. But I'm trying to solve that as a joti. It's my duty on one hand to be very transparent about what I see can happen and not keep covering things up. At the same time, I I I also mention positive things wherever necessary. And it's of course not that the world has been totally negative since 2020. There have been some amazing things which have happened and some amazing things which will happen which will come to them. Just just for a you know short uh thing there over over 200 million people around the world have come out of poverty just in these five years and many more people have gained access to amazing facilities which they wouldn't have gotten access to earlier. It has resulted in a great increase in prosperity and of course a lot of inequality. So good things have happened and they will continue to happen and we will come back.

>> So do you predict though you predict events and everything? Do you also predict that jotacha as a science will really come on the forefront in the future?

>> Yes, it.

>> And it's being accepted by the theology or you know the scientists and the scientific community.

>> The scientific community I believe will uh start to study jotia after 2040 or so. The problem with jotusha unlike other sciences is that it is not straightforward at the moment. It is straightforward but we aren't able to find the path. It's like as I mentioned earlier a vast uncertainty and science is like a knife trying to cut through it and find light. It's not possible uh because it's so vast. There's so many factors right there like million different factors and subactors that makes it extremely difficult to make one general broad statement and apply to everyone. That's what science wants from astrology. They want you to make one statement and they want to verify the accuracy of that statement with each person and see whether it's working or not. The problem is we don't really understand the factors at play here. We only understand about 10% of the factors at play. At the same time as jotives, we do not want to uh put that down the dust bin. Just because we don't understand 90% of it doesn't mean that 10% is useless. The sages have given us that 10% for a reason. They want us to develop spiritually and materially and help ourselves with that 10%. But what science wants at the moment is it it the scientists want us to verify the 90% before using it. That's the only difference between scientists and uh us. We are not waiting for science to confirm astrology before we help people around us with it. And at the same time, we're really enthusiastic about when science is going to come together with jotia. To answer your question, I think it's going to happen very soon. science just needs to advance a little bit more in order to understand these concepts. Yes. So maybe they can push it to 20% or 30% and we are waiting for scientists to actually come this way to look this side and when they do they can do a lot of service for humanity because they're brilliant people. They're amazing people. I completely appreciate the hard work that they're putting into uh science as such. Um and if they just look this way they can do a lot more. And the first step to that is maybe natural disasters.

>> We have data. We have planetary combinations. We can put the two together and we can try to predict something because there are people who have used heliocentric astrological data to predict earthquakes down to the location the longitude as well as the magnitude of the earthquake. And Frank Hugger beats for example a Dutch researcher did that with phenomenal accuracy and even scientists are surprised. The problem is we don't know the mechanism. We know it works. We've made several successful predictions about the world which are statistically not very likely. For example, predicting a terrorist attack to occur, a massive terrorist attack within a span of 15 days in a place which hasn't seen that level of violence for like so many years. The statistical likelihood is limited. Uh the possibility of a major massive pandemic or war, again, the statistical possibility is limited. It's not like these events happen every day. So these things we know work but we can't explain how they work.

>> Yeah.

>> This how factor is very valuable and I hope and I also believe that there will be progress in this direction over the next uh two decades after 2040 specifically. Till then it's still going to be in the Mumbo Jabo territory. Um and it's sad that Jotusa is currently confined to that territory. But we are hoping to bring it out of that. Yeah.

>> Oh great, great. I'm waiting for that. Okay. Uh, one last question about the topic of jota since you already do this.

>> How do you decide what to reveal and what not to reveal? When you when you get that strong feeling, you know, it's not always right that you just think, okay, it's going to happen.

>> Yeah.

>> And you tell it to the public because when it does not come true.

>> A lot, okay, definitely it affects your repetition. Also the repetition of astrology in totality you know you just feel you know they keep predicting things and.

>> Five times it misses five times so probably they are coinc coincidences.

>> I'm glad you asked that question. First of all that's that's exactly the reason why we refrain from unnecessary useless predictions like sports. The riskreward ratio there for the science of astrology is very limited. First of all you're taking a risk for what are you going to help anyone? No. uh if a particular team wins a sport, how much is the world going to change? The world before, the world after, it's nearly the same. There's not much of a difference. So, what is the use of predicting sports events? Nothing. You're only going to help people who are going to gamble.

>> Yes.

>> And what's the net effect of gambling on society? It's negative. Someone might make a million bucks, but then will he be able to help anyone with that? Again, that's a huge question mark. It's net negative for society. It's net negative. So there's no use in predicting sports events and hence I personally have completely not done that so far. I'll never do that and I and I discourage actively anyone who's doing that. It's you're making a joke out of jotia. Secondly, there is a duty that's assigned to jotis to predict events that h for the world which might be of significance. For example.

>> Which affect human beings or humankind.

>> Human beings, humankind, animals, earth, anything. So for examp these are these are consequential someone is being affected and it's our duty to help there otherwise if it was not our duty the sages wouldn't have even spent so much time writing texts I'd like to remind you all these sages were monks they had no other reason to give us these texts before they left the world they did not have any uh any you know family they did not have any interest and in in the world and its affairs yet they.

chose to leave us with this. And I'm even talking were Jane monks here who had given up everything, including their hair, their entire kingdoms. And yet they wrote texts on jota. Why? There must be a purpose. They wanted jota to guide people, and they've told us that it's our duty to use this valuable information for the benefit of society and mankind and animals. So wherever we can use it. So whenever we see that an earthquake or something is supposed to happen, we're supposed to speak about it. And uh, even if it means risking your reputation, it's completely fine. You have to do it. If you are wrong, accept that you are wrong.

Like for example, sometimes I have missed certain predictions for earthquakes. It happened once in 2023. The Turkey earthquake was uh happened. Gladly, another uh astrological researcher got it absolutely right. Frank Hugab beats. Uh, he did a phenomenal job at it. I missed that. So I accepted. I made a video after that saying that I missed certain combinations and I was not able to identify the location. But whatever it is, it's absolutely our duty to talk about it before it happens.

>> Okay.

And uh, for example, recently uh when I was, this was in February, uh, February 2025 last year, and I was on a spiritual trip uh across western Karnataka. It was a solo trip and I was going to different places on my bike and visited almost all the important temples in the region. It was amazing. One place I stopped and I decided to stay there for about 20 days. It's called Harih Harapura, very beautiful place. I've made a video about it on YouTube as well. There, there's a beautiful Narasima Swami temple there, and I used to sit in the middle of a river, little islet, and do my research on earthquakes. For some reason, there was a strong intuition about an earthquake in that time frame, which is why I picked up the subject of earthquake. So, I messaged some of my co-researchers and friends saying, "I really feel there's going to be a massive earthquake imminent, like within the next one or two months."

>> So, I started my research.

This came like a, like a flash of thoughts.

>> Yeah.

I was at the temple and I was studying these combinations, and for some reason this came up, and I was like, uh, it wasn't leaving me at all. Like every time I opened my laptop to do something else, study some other subject, I still moved towards earthquakes. And I was studying this, I collected data and created charts for every single earthquake manually because I'm not a really good uh AI researcher. So at the time, I just manually collected data, maybe 150 earthquakes, and then created charts for each of them for the latitude, longitude where it took place. And I noticed a pattern. And that pattern, there were many patterns, basically. It was like a full, it's like a box full of different patterns all mixed up together. But then one specific pattern from that, isolating that, and I noticed that in March, the same thing was coming up. So I made a video. I did not make a video initially, as you mentioned, there was fear. First of all, and this is 2025 when I...

>> Well, you were sure of an event would take place, but I was sure. No specifics. I was sure there's going to be an earthquake. I don't know where. I know I don't know when clearly. I just know within the next one month, one or two months, but I don't know when. Now, if I just go on YouTube and say there's going to be an earthquake,

>> uh, and I don't mention when, people is going to, people are going to call it vague.

>> Uh, so I knew it's going to be big. Not just the regular four, five magnitude earthquake that occurs once in a while. I said it's going to be big. But at that time, there was fear. Uh, this was, this was 2025 when uh, I, I, I, I was not having 20,000 subscribers who's probably going to forget about it if I make a mistake. Uh, I had, I had a million subscribers on the channel, and if I make a mistake, as you mentioned, it's going to be really bad because in jotusha, making one mistake is a huge thing, and it's the internet, everything is recorded.

>> And hence, I still, I still, I still went ahead. And finally, on the 1st of March, I did enough research to feel confident about it, and I made a video saying that there's going to be an earthquake, and it's going to be a major earthquake. I specified it's going to be big. It's going to happen within March 2025, and specifically the second or the third week or the end of March, somewhere there. Uh, and I gave three zones because I didn't want to go wrong, obviously. So I gave three zones. There are about eight different seismic zones, major ones, uh, on the earth. So I, I singled out three because I knew it should be somewhere there. One was uh, uh, western North America, western South America, and the Himalayan belt. So these three zones, I, I, uh, figured out. There are many more zones. There's a Mediterranean one. There's one around Japan. There's one around, so there's, there's, there's also one just around the Pacific uh ring. There are many other locations. So I singled out these three and I made a video, finally put it on YouTube, and uh, I just forgot about it. Just let it >> be there.

And on the 20th, on the 20th till the 28th of March, I was getting comments on the video saying, "Nothing has happened. You know, just accept it. Make a video. Just, just accept it." I said, "I really hope it doesn't happen, and I'm thankful it has not happened." The next day, it happened in Myanmar, and over 5,000 people died. It was horrible. And um,

>> a tower collapsed in Thailand or something. The imagery went viral. Video went viral, obviously because

>> it was predicted again, only by you at that point of time.

>> Yes. At that point of time, I, I don't think I saw any other prediction regarding it.

>> So that was, that was a crazy moment for me. So immediately, the first thing your mind tells you is, you did it. At that sense of accomplishment. But by now, I know how the mind plays tricks because I read the Bhagavad Gita verses came to our mind. Took my bike and went straight to the Bhuvaraswami temple, which is near my house, about 30 kilometers. Very beautiful temple of Vahaswami. Meditated there. He has a deep connection to the earth, to bhi. And I just said, uh, "You are the deity of the earth. I mean, just illuminate the signs of the earth and the grahas, and please enlighten us about why such things happen. Why do earthquakes happen? Why do they happen exactly at these moments? There must be something." So, I'm still praying. I've still not found it. That was just one. I was lucky to get that intuitive feeling by Bhagwan's grace. But we need to find a concrete pattern here. And hence, I'm just calling researchers from across different fields to come together, and let's try to find the actual patterns. We can save a lot of lives.

>> Yeah. So just in last two minutes, just sum it up for all the people who are inclined towards jotisha, and how jotisha will really help the humanity, the earth, and the world to move in a positive direction along with science and >> you know, the new emerging technologies.

I think jota can do a lot, especially for diseases and for uh, the mental health of people. You can use jotisha to transform uh, the way people look at their lives because once you look at your jatika, or once someone else looks at your jatika and you study it properly, you get to understand yourself better, and that solves like 80% of the problems. 80% of the problems, sir, because people don't understand themselves properly, and they're always creating phantom versions of themselves based on either society or based on their own uh, you know, hallucinations. So we need to, we need to bring that knowledge to them, and that will be very helpful. And secondly, Jotusa helps you plan for something ahead. Think of it like a diagnostic tool, but maybe 30 years before the event happens. So when a child is born, you can already see the proclivities uh, and the possibility of it getting a certain disease or its or its nature. So say you're a parent of a child, and you notice in the jadaka that there's a combination that might make the child aggressive in the future. So your parenting can be specific to that trait, and you can make the child a better human being. Half the time, society gets into trouble is because parents don't identify these traits beforehand. They just let it grow, and eventually, it has a negative impact. So for children and parenting, it's an amazing thing. For disease management and for diagnosis, it's an amazing tool. I have seen it help a lot of people so far. And even for disaster management, in that Myanmar earthquake, if the governments of those three countries or four countries, and the countries of all the zones I mentioned, for example, if they were just a little bit more careful, especially the poorer ones, which definitely do not have proper uh, you know, systems to take care of people in disasters. If they just stepped up a little bit and put those disaster management sheds at the right time, in the right place,

80% of those deaths wouldn't have happened. 80%. Most of them happen because of absolutely ludicrous reasons.

So, uh, I think uh, it's very helpful. Yeah. Thank you.
