Vedic Astronomy Course Session1 Part2

Report

Vedic astrology is not just another subject like mathematics and physics. It is a sacred subject that gives its knower a special power to see the past, the present and the future. An irresponsible or impure person cannot properly value or understand such fine knowledge. So the Mahārṣis who gave Humanity this great science have set some guidelines for the ethical behavior of Jyotishis. We require all our students to abide by these spiritual principles.

According to Mahārṣi Parāśara, one should give this knowledge only to worthy, sincere and God-loving students who always speak the truth and have proper respect for their teacher. In Vedic culture, one's relationship with the guru or other giver of knowledge is that of a servant with his master. Just as a servant obeys every command of his master, a worthy student obeys his teacher’s instructions. A wealthy employer may give his servant only some money, which will be here today and gone tomorrow. But a teacher gives his students knowledge, and especially spiritual knowledge is the most precious asset.

So spiritual teachers are to be treated with utmost respect. Jyotish is not ordinary knowledge, and neither the knowledge of Jyotish nor its teacher may be treated as an ordinary material commodity without some unpleasant karmic reaction. This may be a little difficult for students from materialistic Western culture to understand and appreciate, but it is nevertheless true. You have a choice: you can learn it the easy way by hearing and understanding, or you can learn it the hard way by personal experience.
