Many people think astrology is a techniques and science that do not require any kind of discipline. This notion will never allow them to understand astrology in a deeper sense.
If one wants to become a good astrologer following niyama should be followed.
-
Thank the guru who taught you this science. If you have learnt from books then offer thanks to people who wrote the book. Basically the planet guru will also get activated.
-
Secondly chant navagraha slokam every day, do pooja, light lamp in the temple.
-
Once in a month offer abhisekam for the navagraha.
-
Go to temple and do circumbulation of navagrahas 9 times.
-
Do speak ill of others. this will reduce the vak siddie.
-
Pray for the welfare of the clients to be successful, happy and peaceful.
-
Pray for astrology as a science to be successful
-
Pray for astrologers to be successful.
-
When you do the reading invoke the navagraha and thank the rishis. This will help you to read the horoscope from the correct angle.
AT THE END OF THE DAY
-
Cut the cords from chakra
-
Ground the energy.
-
Thank god and ask for sorry any mistakes you have done.
-
Pull back the aura.
-
Mentally release all clients who have come for the reading.
-
Once a week have salt water bath or sea bath. You can also put sambarani in the room.
The trick in astrology is to see from the correct angle from which the horoscope is working. That is why people who do worship of any deity are for more successful than ordinary people. These kinds of prayers will clear the third eye clogging which will help to have peaceful mind plus clarity in thinking. Many astrologers feel tired irritated with few readings because of the pranic debris which get collected in the third eye.

WHY SPIRITUAL SEEKERS DO NOT MAKE ENOUGH MONEY
Many so called spiritual new age guru promise that when you do lot of prayers, lot of money will come. In fact you will see other wise in reality many spiritual people will be average in there income. They would have tried everything to become rich. In fact the Ambani’s and tata’s do not have time for worship and yet they make lot of money. God loves spiritual seeker. Therefore K.B.Gopalakrishnan feels that the rules for normal people and spiritual people will be different.
The basic rules being- spiritual seeker will have just enough money. Their survival will be taken care. They will not have luxury etc, unless they have some worldly work to do. Of course there are false guru who do all kind of promises to their followers to become rich and wealthy.
K.B.Gopalakrishnan says that when a man is doing sadhana god will give enough money and material things which will not distract him from sadhana. The more the seeker of truth runs behind money he will lose more money. Swami Ramdas lost lot of money when he did business. Real gurus never had any money. For example the great purshotananda of vasiata guha never had money. Secondly someone provided him with objects and places.
take the life of Ramakrishna Parahamsa, he had a cousin of Rani Rasamani Devi to took care of his material needs. In fact this man was beck and call of Ramakrishna. Take my teacher, kirtie he has someone who will provide him money and material things for his sadhana with respect. Objects will manifest on their own. When a true spiritual seeker has a need for lap top it will manifest on its own. I know a person who wanted record his spiritual words, his student got a lap top as a gift from her brother.
When money comes it will have purpose. Normal people take a long time to discover this purpose. Many of them take years and months to discover the purpose. For a spiritual seeker the purpose will be revealed and he need not to wait to discover it. Just in time money will come and money will go.
When ever spiritual seeker gives some thing to worldly people they will get a lift. In life of Raghavendra swami a man comes and asks for money so that he can get married. The great swami will give him sand and says that this will help him in marriage. True to the words the sand helps the man to get married. If one reads the miracles of Raghavendra swami it will be seen.
In reality the essence of money is security. The seeker of truth realizes that god names and prayers are the real security in life. Many people are aware of this great truth. But they do not have god’s grace to hold on to it. God gives the spiritual seeker the money so that he will have free time to pray, meditate and evolve as a soul. Many worldly people do not realize that time is bigger gift than money. When god loves someone he will give them guru, mantra and a place to meditate plus experiences which gives the faith in the chosen path. The lower souls will not understand the value of guru sadhana etc.
Most people save for old age for their children without realizing if they have donated, lived life in austere fashion they need not be paying for doctors, hospitals. Simplicity in life can solve many problems in sadhana. Many soul think that artha and Kama is the purpose of life. They do not even realize that moksha and dharma can be other facet. When society worships business men than the mass people want artha and Kama. Sometimes and very rarely mass wants dharma. When the spiritual heroes are worshipped and revered, then mass take to sadhana. When god loves someone he will make material life more and more insecure. The main reason is that they will need to put faith in god for their needs. That is why many seeker of truth would become very poor before they do sadhana.
Remember when you do sadhana people around you will be prosperous. When one is making money hardly there will be time for sadhana. Many spiritual seekers have bigger appetite for sadhana than for money. They will be satiated with little money. The main reason is god’s grace will flow through them. When you have big appetite for money making, then you will have less time for sadhana. Then the soul is of lower level.
I will quote the great milarepa’s words which sums the essence of many experiences of spiritual teachers
”our religion is not to live and die in regret. All worldly pursuits have but the one unavoidable end, which is sorrow: acquisitions end in dispersion; buildings in destruction; meetings in
separation; births, in death. Knowing this, one should, from the very first, renounce acquisition and heaping up, and building, and meeting; and faithful to the commands of an eminent guru, set about realizing the Truth (which has no birth or death).” “If you do not acquire contentment in yourselves, Heaped-up accumulations will only enrich others.
If you do not obtain the light of Inner Peace, Mere external ease and pleasure will become a source of pain. If you do not suppress the Demon of Ambition, Desire for fame will lead to ruin and to lawsuits”
Life is short and the time of death is uncertain; so apply yourself to meditation. Avoid doing evil, and acquire merit, to the best of your ability, even at the cost of life itself. In short: Act so that you have no cause to be ashamed of yourselves and hold fast to this rule”
Upon Mount Bonbo, Milarepa instructed many Repas who were preparing to depart for meditation in distant hermitages. Those junior Repas who wanted to stay with the Jetsun then said to him, “We are now in an age of defilement. For the sake of inferior and slow-witted persons like us, please preach something appropriate to our needs.”
In response, Milarepa sang:
Hearken further, my Son-disciples!
At this time of defilement
That shadows the Dharma of Sakyamuni,
One should strive with perseverance,
And carve upon one’s mind-stone
The word, “Diligence”.
When you feel sleepy during Meditation, try
To pray hard with your awakened body, mouth and mind.
When the fire-spark of Wisdom dims, try
To inflame it with the wind of Mindfulness.
If you want to be freed from Samsara’s prison,
Practise hard without diversion.
If to Nirvana you aspire,
Abandon then this world.
If from the depths of your heart
You want practise Dharma,
Listen to my words and follow in my footsteps.
If you want to consummate the (Supreme) Accomplishment,
Never forget that death will come,
If hard and long you meditate, all Buddhas
In the past, the present and the future
Will be well-pleased.
If you are ever straight-forward and upright in the Dharma,
You will receive the grace of your Guru.
If without error you understand these words,
You can be sure that more happiness
And joy will come your way,
For such is my experience.
May I dedicate the merit of the article to my lineage of students who will like the dharma.
May they bring light and love were ever they go.

The guru stress the common themes which as follows
God is beyond religion.
God is one
There are three kind of guru.
Satellite, servers and towers. The satellites are the original great masters who run the universe, who help humanity to evolve in to higher state of consciousness. The servers are people who are connected with these satellites who are popular and do good work. The towers are the people who take energy from the satellite and make it come through. For example Ramakrishna was a satellite, server is Vivekananda, the towers is the Ramakrishna math. Jesus was a satellite, the apostle- his servers and towers is the current structure of Christianity.
Every guru specializes in certain areas. For example the parmacharya of kanchi was noble in character. Also he was instrumental in the west finding the great Ramana Maharishi. Paul brunton met parmacharya who pointed on Ramana maharishi as the living example of enlightened sage.
Many of them will have various levels of guidance. For example sai baba followers will have two more gurus. They will have a spiritually successful people and an astrologer. When ever guidance comes from these people they will attribute it to sai baba. K.B.Gopalakrishnan has personally helped many sai followers who will attribute any astrological success to sai baba grace.
The lineage is formed by work of three to four great masters. For example Ramakrishna was the founder of the lineage, his second generation disciple worked very hard and the subsequent generations build big ashram. The initial part of any lineage will produce great spiritual genius. For example before the kaygu lineage was formed the first 5 masters were awe some. The great Tilopa, followed by Naropa, Marpa, Milarepa and Gamopa were just brilliant in their powers and meditative ability. The kriya yoga lineage was started by babaji, then the great laharia mahayasa, the great yukteswar giri who were brilliant in there meditative abilities and spiritual gifts. Yogananda parmahamsa was well known for propagation.
People who meditate a lot and who are chosen for meditation will have following problems
-
They would have had some kind of meditation experiences.
-
They would be having deep urge on other worldly subjects.
-
They would have some problems or tragedy in there personal life.
-
Whenever they move into material world, they will be hit with spate of failures.
The works of these spiritual geniuses are very fast. Their followers will slowly assimilate digest and take time to show it to the world. For example the work of chaitanaya mahaprabhu was well captured by the great prabhu pada whose masters would have been great people.
One has guru in two ways. One is the love marriage way where you see and feel a strong pull. The other one is arranged marriage where you search and fix it. One is you fix the guru or in many cases guru fixes you with experiences.
Finally not every one has calling to worldly work. Many people are meant to do sadhana and help people who come on there own. If one realizes this then it is easy to focus on sadhana.
-
Guru are good in certain things
-
some have very good conduct
-
some of them good in sadhana
-
some of them good in powers
-
some of them good in knowledge and discussion.
-
some of them good in marketing .

For many years I have never bothered to search for guru’s. K.B.Gopalakrishnan always felt that his teacher deshika kirtie was suited for him. Also his deshika was very intense in his tapaysa which impressed him the most. Also K.B.Gopalakrishnan says “Suddenly the ground underneath slipped due to some situations and difficulties. I started praying in the thiruvalli dayam temple in which the great vallar, arungiri swamigal, bharadwaja rishi, hanuman, the child spiritual genius gana samadar had come and prayed”. Following are the channeling material K.B.Gopalakrishnan got which he wanted to share.
There are two types of guru, namely the worldly guru and other worldly guru. First let us deal with the worldly guru. They are large in number; each of them will help followers to attain worldly success in one way or the other. People go to them for marriage child birth, wealth, the 16 ihaka loka sukha. For them minimum sadhana is given like one hour bhajan etc, with no intense meditation. Mostly these gurus are well supported by the masses, have great infra structure like money, ashram, followers, and latest gizmos to propagate there ideas. They also build hospital, educational institutions, and they work like preachers and teachers of the modern spiritual life. Most of them will tell people to enjoy life and be in the family. Example can be Pandit Ravi Shankar, Mata Amritanadya Mayi, Sai Baba etc. Most of these gurus would not be married and right from younger days they would be in this line of helping people. Followers around them will be rich, wealthy and successful.
The second type of guru is other worldly guru. They will be more interested in doing sadhana. They will be aloof, away from the crowd, not very popular among the masses, and have very intense tapayasa. When they give sadhana it will produce results very fast, worldly success of there followers will be limited and they will tell that life is dukha.
K.B.Gopalakrishnan says that most of time the other worldly gurus will resists building ashrams. These gurus’s conduct will be good; their life is itself a message to the world. Some of the followers too get moskha. Also they will stress lot on sanyasa. Example is the great Purshotananda of Vasiata Guha, Swami Viradeswar, and Swami Shantananda Puri. The later two are still living.
When you get these guru, karmic purging will happen which will force you to change conduct and ways of living. All these guru would have hell in the worldly life. Tragedy, failures, problems will be common. God loves them so much he makes their samsara bitter. Followers of these guru will be nobody and ordinary middle class. Ramakrishna paramhamsa made people in to sanayasis, he also was not well known in his life time, and even his disciples like vivekananda had done some kind of tapasya.
Very few can combine both. For example the great bhgawan nityananda could help people materially and produce a good disciple like swami muktananda. Bhagwan sai can do it. But it is my assumption but whether he does it I do not know. Master choa was the finest example of spiritual greatness and mass following.
There are some problems in selecting the guru. When you want god, enlightenment then do not search with the so called popular guru. Mostly it will not be possible for them. When one wants worldly success do not go in for guru who is other worldly. One will have lot of problems and obstacles in life. Doubts on general topics can be discussed with any one. The tricks problems in sadhana and over coming them will be taught only by the other worldly guru. That is mass followers of the worldly guru never ask difficult question. Some joke in the name of discourse. Some kind of lectures will be helpful. Massaging the ego and maintenance of status quo will be common in the worldly guru. When you follow the other worldly guru money and material things will never be excesses. Actually it can be just short and will come on need basis and just in time process. The worldly guru’s true spiritual wisdom can be missing. Doubts and problems in sadhana will never get clarified.
Of course some of the followers get impressed as follows.
-
Mind reading – some times you will go with some question in the mind and they will answer it without your knowing and asking them.
-
Some miraculous coincidences will happen which will make worldly success very easy by the guru. For example one man told me that he wanted to buy a bamboo flute. His guru had told some other disciple to sponsor money for the bamboo flute. He was very impressed. There was a woman who wanted to get a school admission for the child. She was told to meet some one when he was having his breakfast early in the morning, asked not to lie about the age of the child. The trustee was so impressed with the honesty he called up the school and asked the principal to make the admission. This is one of the few times he had called principal.
-
Meeting them will always produce some good results.

Indian stock market is in the correction mode or in the bear phase. Many people expect the market to stop the correction and go up wards. The media also helps in believing that Indian economy is growing and we will be economic stock super power. Let us do the analysis to understand the bear market from astrology point of view.
World renowned and Chennai based astrologer K.B.Gopalakrishnan feels that the stock market correction will not stop till Jupiter leaves dhanus. This means the Indian sensex will be in the bearish mode at least till the end of diwali 2008.
Secondly whenever Indian bull market corrected and the bear market have stepped in. The valuations nifty sensex points have come half of the peak. This means if the sensex market has touched 6000, then the correction some were will be 3000- 2500 points. Only then the bearish market will stop. So correction of 1600 points can be easily awaited. This can be taken as a stock tip from astrological point of view.
The market will correct every alternate month steeply. The earlier lower bottom will be breached easily. The market in BSE levels will see easily below 10,000 sensex points.
It is very simple theory to understand the steep dip in the stock points. Compared to Singapore, Hong-Kong, Korea, Indian sensex market and economy is not very strong. In Indian city only, there is lot of money but not in villages. Therefore to think India has come to a top notch in the Asian market is a limited notion. Added to this the market GDP and sectoral growth will show that India markets have long way to catch up.
Therefore the World renowned and Chennai based astrologer K.B.Gopalakrishnan says that the so called hedge funds had pumped the market and now they are dumping the Indian stock markets. There fore within one year they will exit with lot of so called retail investor having stock papers which will be worth less.

This article clearly delineates about stock market crash. One of the world greatest companies General electrical has a way of eliminating people. Each year 10% of the least performing employees are ask to put out their papers. This way the attrition is controlled, accepted and performance is rewarded. The same theory goes into sensex stock markets. Whenever the market corrects, 20% of the people will get eliminated.
This holds good in Indian sensex-BSE AND NSE. Stock brokers who do not have much experience in the trading and people who enter stock trading based on the hype and media filled stories will be thrown out of the market. The people who are Indian stock market savvy and have strong stock information and investing will only survive.
It takes three to ten year cycle to make lot of money in the stock markets. Most people who lose in the stock market lose with in 6 – 10 months. With the current Bull Run one can expect very fast way of eliminating many people. That is why in the recent time many stock brokers who are in hiring spree lost out and the volume have dipped.
Therefore World renowned and Chennai based astrologer K.B.Gopalakrishnan can easily say that nearly 50-60% of stock investor will be out of the markets. It will be a painful correction for many small time investors.
The global financial mercenary called the hedge funds.
The have simple rule.
Step one –
Buy a market, buy a sector
Step two-
Then pump up the valuation nicely.
Step three
The media will go ga – ga over this bull market. All small investor will come and invest due to astounding rise in valuations.
Step four
Dump the market and come out of it.
These is trend can be seen in Chinese and Indian stock markets. In the last one year the sensex index went up by 7000 points. The government kept quiet and media made a big splash in terms of news. Once the government tightened the regulation with p notes, these hedge funds started to dump the Indian market from January. Slowly many Indian investors have lost their money in stocks.
These funds operate the market. All the fundamental and technical analysis of Indian stocks will be of no use because these hedge funds use their money power to buy these markets. These hedge funds have billions of dollars and they have no government control. The so called emerging market theory does not hold good due to corrections which are steep and the valuations which is out stretched. Normally these hedge funds operate on the principle of one to three years. One of the funds partner is Bill Clinton. Warren buffet with drew from Chinese market by Sep 2007 and then the market fell down.
One can be stock analyst or day traders. But without knowing this simple truth one will lose money. World renowned, Chennai based astrologer K.B.Gopalakrishnan says that the stock investors have to be careful. If you are investing money in mutual funds and stocks withdraw the money. These valuations will go down further. When nifty touches 2500 there after invest.

I had a very big question in my mind. It was- why god takes time to punish. He is omni potent then why does he take time? During meditation and due to my teacher’s grace the awareness deepened. It dawn to me that karma is immediate and instant people do not realize it. I am not going to give names due to privacy issues as these are real life example. I am also not perfect and prone to error, may god forgive me for pointing out people as example.
There is man who abuses his wife and dots his children. The more he abuses his wife the more his children tortured him. For example his son went and bashed his car. He also got caught in the police. The more he abuses his wife the more his child creates problems for him. He has also diabetic foot which is not healing easily.
There was a friend of mine who use to abuse his mother for her cooking. All kind of criticism used to be levied saying it has salt less, sour less etc etc. the guy went to Australia where he was exposed only to non-veg food. Being a strict vegetarian he had difficulty to eat the food. He felt very bad of abusing his mother cooking.
One of my wife’s relative is posted in Iraq. He can not get job In India. If you look at the way he treats his wife, one will feel pity at his wife and angry at the man. He does not see the connection between posting in Iraq and loss of work in India.
There is a friend of mine who has affairs. His sister’s husband also has affairs. He can not tell his sister he also doing like his brother in law. When his sister cries he feels bad and helpless.
One of greatest astrologer of India wrote a book called Nehru dynasty. He wrote how other astrologer were wrong on rajiv Gandhi’s death and eventual congress victory and how he was right. He did not see the connection between his writing and failure as astrologer. He was forced to accept his failure in his web site as why he was wrong in last general election for defeat of BJP. He goes on writing when the congress government will fall. It is going to be three years nothing has happened.
When we create pain for others in purpose we get suffering. We might not see the connection and parallelism due to Maya. When one prays then only one can see connection. Of course people can deny it. For example one of my friend prayed that his mother should suffer. I asked why? He said she is abusing every one in her old age. I said she is already punished just that you do not see it. He was quite surprised.” She can not get out of bed, she has depends on people even for going for bath room, she has never stepped out of house for last 15 years. She sleeps whole day and awake in the night. She does not have friends or earnings. No one wants to be near her. Is not suffering enough”. He simply accepted the reality. His wife told me we do not see such connections. We only see her words.
. We can laugh at our suffering deny in public and act as if nothing happened. This is called karmic blindness. One does not see connection in public. See the nation of Afghanistan which has high opium addicts, highest infant morality rate. Instant karma.
See the country of African country, darfur more they fight the more they go into famine.
See the America more they fight wars with other countries the more psychiatric problems increases. One of the biggest pill poppers of the world. I have seen American citizen getting upset for small things. For example they can not drive peacefully in Indian traffic. I drove an American women in the bike she was so paranoid. It is collective nation karma.
I use to see this pattern. When ever I use fight with my wife and go out for some work it will never succeed. Many married people would have seen this pattern.
People who play politics in office have very disturbed family. Many a times these people have way ward son who does not listen to them and create lot of problems. I have seen some of them psychiatric children.
Every time I used to fight with my brother, there use to be heavy problems in work. One of my student had an amazing insight she said ‘when ever people create difficulties for their parents they have difficulties with their spouse. People who have abused their parents in the name of love marriage have one problem or other in there marriage. Of course one make a love decision with out making public embracement for the parents.
I used to have trouble with a student of mine regularly. I prayed one day and asked why. Then it came as “see what u have done your teacher”. My teacher deshika kirtie was a fine man. He used to be good and kind . I picked up fights and abused him in front of others. When some one did it to me I could not see connections initially.
What we do to others immediately we experience suffering. just that we do not see the connections. One can see the connections in the horoscope.
When we repent for our mistakes what Christianity call it as errors of omission and commission then our soul evolves. Also we gain peace. What brings peace within our self will brings peace with others. The voice of god which is called consciousness pricks any one when they go against dharma but then one does not listen as we operate from the mode of ego and personality .
One lady told me “every day I ask sorry to god for doing any sins knowing and un knowingly “. When we hurt helpless people like lame blind or psychiatric people our suffering will multiply instantly. When we hurt spiritual people or people who meditate then also instant karma works. For example one lady has attack of gout suddenly. she abused a pious lady who was her daughter in law. The daughter in law will meditate more than 4 hours every day.
Any way this was just to share my insights with people. Please forgive me if it hurts you in any manner. I thank god, divine force and great beings of light for allowing me understand this great in sight.
May I dedicate this merit to my brother good health and birth of my child.
May I dedicate this merit to good health longevity of my teacher deshika kirties, swami shanthananda puri, sathya sai baba , mata amritanadi mayi. Shri ravi shankar to all spiritual gurus.
May I dedicate this merit to all friends whom ever meet ,hear, seen, spoken may they have the sublime light of dharma always in this life time and life there after.
