WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.160 Good morning beautiful people, welcome to my 00:00:02.160 --> 00:00:04.360 channel. Since there is so many case studies 00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:07.759 already published using Amatya Karaka, Atma Karaka, 00:00:08.939 --> 00:00:11.300 now 2nd Lord, 6th Lord, 10th Lord and so on, 00:00:12.060 --> 00:00:14.500 all the case studies are coming towards you, 00:00:14.759 --> 00:00:19.019 helping you to ground what is you, as in what 00:00:19.019 --> 00:00:21.940 is your personality, your panchanga and how does 00:00:21.940 --> 00:00:25.160 it tie into what you will do in the world. Essentially 00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:27.320 that's all, career is folks, don't make a big 00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:31.500 thing out of it. Doesn't matter what your HR 00:00:31.500 --> 00:00:33.859 department or your friends or your families or 00:00:33.859 --> 00:00:37.320 your boss tells you. Career or whatever you call 00:00:37.320 --> 00:00:39.679 career is what you do in the world. It may be 00:00:39.679 --> 00:00:41.920 anything from arts, fine arts, yoga teacher, 00:00:42.119 --> 00:00:45.759 gym teacher, anything. Music, arts, dance, so 00:00:45.759 --> 00:00:49.259 on so forth. But there is a misconception people 00:00:49.259 --> 00:00:51.859 don't take this tithi, the thing called the tithi 00:00:51.859 --> 00:00:53.939 very seriously. So I'm going to be doing now 00:00:53.939 --> 00:00:57.479 a series. which I am going to expand more on 00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:00.679 the concept of Tithi and what it means. So here's 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:02.359 the introduction. If you have already seen this, 00:01:02.500 --> 00:01:04.700 skip this part and go to the next one. Okay? 00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:07.060 This is introduction. It will be common to all 00:01:07.060 --> 00:01:10.159 the particular podcasts. What is Tithi? Tithi 00:01:10.159 --> 00:01:12.840 is determined by the angle between the sun and 00:01:12.840 --> 00:01:15.439 moon in your natal chart. It remains fixed for 00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:17.459 life. It doesn't depend what period of life you 00:01:17.459 --> 00:01:20.959 are in. From birth to death. Each Tithi is in 00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:24.099 the range of 12 degrees. Like you can see the 00:01:24.099 --> 00:01:27.540 table over there. Okay, so it goes from 0 to 00:01:27.540 --> 00:01:30.620 12 pratipada, dvittiya is 12 to 24 and so on 00:01:30.620 --> 00:01:34.739 in intervals of 12 degrees of angle. Number two, 00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:37.340 titi represents your emotional body hence requires 00:01:37.340 --> 00:01:41.200 you to pay great deal of attention even before 00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:43.280 you go into the study of horoscope, divisional 00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:47.540 charts and so on. There are a total of 15 titis, 00:01:47.640 --> 00:01:50.079 one set for the waxing half cycle of the moon 00:01:50.079 --> 00:01:52.359 which is the shukla going from new moon to full 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:55.689 moon. Shukla means white in Sanskrit. Second 00:01:55.689 --> 00:01:57.810 half of tithis is going from full moon back to 00:01:57.810 --> 00:02:00.209 near moon which is prefixed by Krishna or black. 00:02:00.609 --> 00:02:02.870 It's given Krishna because he was dark in color. 00:02:03.709 --> 00:02:06.629 All remedies, quote unquote, which are done within 00:02:06.629 --> 00:02:09.210 Vedic Astrology are done for tithis, not Karana, 00:02:09.229 --> 00:02:13.469 Yoga, etc. Keep this in mind. Now within each 00:02:13.469 --> 00:02:16.280 tithi, what shall I cover? What will you cover 00:02:16.280 --> 00:02:18.520 are these eight points. Element of the tithi 00:02:18.520 --> 00:02:21.060 and the deity. The ruling deity is the main thing 00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:22.840 there. You got to understand the energy of the 00:02:22.840 --> 00:02:24.639 deity. You can do more research now. There is 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:28.120 GBT and all the rest of it. Psychic abilities. 00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:30.539 Number two. What are your psychic abilities? 00:02:30.860 --> 00:02:33.060 What are your real superpowers? Each one, there 00:02:33.060 --> 00:02:35.759 is one, okay? Each one has a superpower. We're 00:02:35.759 --> 00:02:38.039 just uncovering what that is for each tithi. 00:02:38.659 --> 00:02:42.139 Number three. How to enhance them. Number four, 00:02:42.180 --> 00:02:44.919 what to be wary of. There are always pluses and 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:47.539 minuses. This is a realm of duality, so everything 00:02:47.539 --> 00:02:49.960 will have a plus and a minus. We'll see that. 00:02:50.659 --> 00:02:54.379 Five, the personality traits of it. How it actualizes 00:02:54.379 --> 00:02:57.479 in your personality. And the life lessons, what 00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:00.120 you should be learning from that for this lifetime. 00:03:01.099 --> 00:03:03.340 The remedy for it. We'll see the remedy part 00:03:03.340 --> 00:03:06.520 also. And last, we will see the differences between 00:03:06.520 --> 00:03:09.020 the Shukla part and the Krishna part of every 00:03:09.020 --> 00:03:11.379 dhiti. For example, there is Pratipada, 0 to 00:03:11.379 --> 00:03:14.680 12. And there is the, in the Shukla part, in 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:17.199 the Krishna paksha part, there is Pratipada from 00:03:17.199 --> 00:03:21.000 180 to 168, the minus 12, right? The full moon 00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.580 going towards new moon. That's the separation. 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:27.819 Okay? So we will see all of this. Let us begin. 00:03:29.590 --> 00:03:32.030 Before I begin with the tithi, I just wanted 00:03:32.030 --> 00:03:34.729 to leave you a quick note of downloading the 00:03:34.729 --> 00:03:37.689 Jyotish app. It's an icon I have marked in the 00:03:37.689 --> 00:03:40.490 presentation above. You can find it in Play Store, 00:03:40.729 --> 00:03:43.550 Android, whatever. And it's a free app where 00:03:43.550 --> 00:03:47.219 you can find out... your tithi, your birth tithi, 00:03:47.379 --> 00:03:49.479 that is horoscope, as well as the transiting 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:51.500 mahurta. It's a free app. Don't worry. There 00:03:51.500 --> 00:03:54.560 is nothing attached to it. Some noble soul has 00:03:54.560 --> 00:03:57.139 made this for all humanity. It works very well. 00:03:57.419 --> 00:03:59.580 You can use it for mahurta. You can use it for 00:03:59.580 --> 00:04:02.219 plotting your own horoscope and also checking 00:04:02.219 --> 00:04:05.580 the tithi. And then come to these and learn more. 00:04:05.879 --> 00:04:09.460 Now let's begin. Now let us speak of Ekadashi 00:04:09.460 --> 00:04:14.659 or the eleventh tithi in the lunar cycle. If 00:04:14.659 --> 00:04:16.939 you are born on Ekadashi, this one is for you. 00:04:17.060 --> 00:04:20.519 Ekadashi happens when the angular distance or 00:04:20.519 --> 00:04:23.259 the angle between the sun and moon in your natal 00:04:23.259 --> 00:04:27.740 chart is between 120 degrees to 132 degrees. 00:04:28.459 --> 00:04:31.879 The element is fire and they are ruled by Rudras, 00:04:32.100 --> 00:04:34.600 the fierce forms of Shiva, the one which wants 00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:38.579 to calibrate, change, permanently change something. 00:04:39.519 --> 00:04:42.319 And since it's a fire element, it's got very 00:04:42.319 --> 00:04:46.449 active active, deep, subconscious root in it. 00:04:47.009 --> 00:04:50.730 Basically, all the negative side or the downside 00:04:50.730 --> 00:04:53.949 of ego or ego itself is everything stored in 00:04:53.949 --> 00:04:56.569 the subconscious, isn't it? Your thoughts, your 00:04:56.569 --> 00:04:59.930 belief systems and so on. What you believe, you 00:04:59.930 --> 00:05:04.310 think is right and wrong. Fire as a form of Rudra 00:05:04.310 --> 00:05:07.290 in this particular tithi will go to that level 00:05:07.290 --> 00:05:11.240 and change it. This is what appears. to the individual 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.399 as destructive. Actually, it is not. In a sense, 00:05:15.699 --> 00:05:18.860 even if the deity appears very fierce form, it 00:05:18.860 --> 00:05:23.019 is in destruction or recalibration of ego itself, 00:05:23.040 --> 00:05:26.720 from the subconscious level. And nowhere is it 00:05:26.720 --> 00:05:30.240 more apparent than Sutla Ekadashi, basically 00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.420 Ekadashi. Ascetic virtue and vision, this is 00:05:33.420 --> 00:05:36.379 what an ascetic means in the Vedic tradition. 00:05:37.500 --> 00:05:40.959 Going inward, uprooting from the subconscious 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:45.879 level of things. So the element here being fire, 00:05:46.040 --> 00:05:48.699 ruled by the Rudras, the fierce forms of Shiva 00:05:48.699 --> 00:05:53.120 or the active form of consciousness, psychic 00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:56.620 ability, these natives are drawn to austerity, 00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.699 fasting and mantra. See, now you are going inward. 00:05:59.879 --> 00:06:03.019 Now you are going to find out the root cause 00:06:03.019 --> 00:06:07.269 of everything. Their psychic siddhi lies in tapas 00:06:07.269 --> 00:06:11.589 or meditation or tuning into the spiritual heat 00:06:11.589 --> 00:06:16.089 of things. Kundalini and if you start doing meditation 00:06:16.089 --> 00:06:18.189 or mantra japa, it's going to generate a lot 00:06:18.189 --> 00:06:20.689 of heat in the body, I can tell you from experience. 00:06:21.410 --> 00:06:23.470 You need to learn how to manage that. That's 00:06:23.470 --> 00:06:26.750 why people wear the Rudraksha. It cools the body 00:06:26.750 --> 00:06:30.269 from that fiery temper that arises in the body. 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.480 Burning away karmas and gaining profound inner 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:38.939 vision. That's what this dithi is for. So basically 00:06:38.939 --> 00:06:42.180 it's spiritual 101, isn't it? Like you are born 00:06:42.180 --> 00:06:45.240 under that. And if you are born in Ekadashi and 00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:48.740 your 8th house in your natal chart or 12th house 00:06:48.740 --> 00:06:52.600 is very active, then this will be even more pronounced. 00:06:53.199 --> 00:06:55.720 That's the way you look at these things. and 00:06:55.720 --> 00:06:58.259 we don't even have careers. Like we talk of careers, 00:06:58.379 --> 00:07:01.160 I'm making so many case studies and so on. There's 00:07:01.160 --> 00:07:03.519 a lot of material on this channel in case studies. 00:07:04.939 --> 00:07:07.920 But we talk of careers. What career will you 00:07:07.920 --> 00:07:10.600 put such people? We don't even acknowledge such 00:07:10.600 --> 00:07:13.160 things in this civilization, isn't it? We need 00:07:13.160 --> 00:07:16.560 to make career paths for these people. They can 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.699 channel devotion into purification and often 00:07:19.699 --> 00:07:22.660 achieve one -pointed concentration in spiritual 00:07:22.660 --> 00:07:26.370 practices. Very good for yoga. Raj Yoga, meditative 00:07:26.370 --> 00:07:29.670 practices, Kriya Yoga, whatever forms of yoga 00:07:29.670 --> 00:07:34.569 there are, which involve having a one -pointed 00:07:34.569 --> 00:07:37.529 practice, like something to do with Dharana or 00:07:37.529 --> 00:07:40.769 Dhyana, for example, the eight limbs of yoga 00:07:40.769 --> 00:07:45.529 of Patanjali. Anyway, back to this. How to enhance 00:07:45.529 --> 00:07:49.490 this particular tithi? Observing fasts, Ekadashi, 00:07:49.589 --> 00:07:53.040 when it happens in transit every month. In the 00:07:53.040 --> 00:07:56.680 Vedic tradition in India, everybody fasts, most 00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:00.639 of them at least. Have once a meal a day, or 00:08:00.639 --> 00:08:06.379 none, if you are that severe. Worship of Vishnu 00:08:06.379 --> 00:08:09.519 or Shiva. When you say worship, there is a lot 00:08:09.519 --> 00:08:12.779 of misconception around this word. It has been 00:08:12.779 --> 00:08:16.839 abused and misused in context. So I would rather 00:08:16.839 --> 00:08:20.120 put it to make it simplistic for all listening. 00:08:21.339 --> 00:08:25.620 Tune in. Tune in is better. Your soul, you have 00:08:25.620 --> 00:08:28.620 the capacity to tune into anything. So tune into 00:08:28.620 --> 00:08:31.360 the energy of Vishnu or Shiva. How do you do 00:08:31.360 --> 00:08:34.460 that? Well, I found the best way. Since I am 00:08:34.460 --> 00:08:37.080 a Panchami born, I can tune into the mantra part. 00:08:37.919 --> 00:08:40.019 For others, you might be different depending 00:08:40.019 --> 00:08:42.779 upon your tithi. That's why you need to understand 00:08:42.779 --> 00:08:47.379 your super power here. Mantra repetition is good 00:08:47.379 --> 00:08:50.309 for Ekadashi, just like Panchami. Meditation 00:08:50.309 --> 00:08:53.169 to amplify their ascetic powers. A lot of meditation, 00:08:53.429 --> 00:08:56.149 single pointedness is required. Because that 00:08:56.149 --> 00:08:59.590 fire of Rudra can be very, very chaotic sometimes 00:08:59.590 --> 00:09:03.509 if it is not harnessed in certain way. What to 00:09:03.509 --> 00:09:06.210 be wary of, there you are. Restlessness, envy 00:09:06.210 --> 00:09:10.490 or hypocrisy if they abandon discipline. Their 00:09:10.490 --> 00:09:12.429 life lesson is to learn a lot of discipline. 00:09:13.169 --> 00:09:15.769 They must remain steady in devotion to harness 00:09:15.769 --> 00:09:19.429 their spiritual fire. constructively. It can 00:09:19.429 --> 00:09:23.789 be destructive also. Please remember this. Restful 00:09:23.789 --> 00:09:26.330 and introspective. This is how they show up in 00:09:26.330 --> 00:09:29.870 human personality. Ekadeshi born people are often 00:09:29.870 --> 00:09:33.830 naturally in tune with their subconscious. They 00:09:33.830 --> 00:09:36.809 are intuitive and often prefer slow and steady 00:09:36.809 --> 00:09:39.750 and less demanding work. They cannot work too 00:09:39.750 --> 00:09:41.850 much mainstream. Like I said, we need to find 00:09:41.850 --> 00:09:44.840 different career paths for this. Hey, let's start 00:09:44.840 --> 00:09:46.899 with first acknowledging such a thing exists. 00:09:48.120 --> 00:09:50.679 They may struggle with over thinking and need 00:09:50.679 --> 00:09:54.419 downtime to recharge. These are the kind of children 00:09:54.419 --> 00:09:57.019 or people you will see, they want to rest all 00:09:57.019 --> 00:09:59.240 the time because there is so much of fire going 00:09:59.240 --> 00:10:03.080 on inside them, burning away everything. So they 00:10:03.080 --> 00:10:06.299 just feel like, I must rest, I must rest, I can't 00:10:06.299 --> 00:10:08.360 handle this anymore. You will find them talking 00:10:08.360 --> 00:10:12.200 like this. The life lesson for them is embracing 00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:16.120 periods of rest and allowing creativity to surface. 00:10:16.539 --> 00:10:20.820 The whole point of fire as Rudra, as this form 00:10:20.820 --> 00:10:24.740 of Shiva, is bringing things from a calmer state, 00:10:24.960 --> 00:10:27.360 more from a Shiva point of state. Shiva is the 00:10:27.360 --> 00:10:30.679 calm state. Rudra is the active state. There's 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:33.379 so much going on inside them, they don't know 00:10:33.379 --> 00:10:36.480 how to handle it. Remedy is to wear loose clothing, 00:10:36.779 --> 00:10:40.519 eat light foods, avoid grains, avoid dense foods. 00:10:41.480 --> 00:10:43.740 A lot of talk these days, isn't it, about avoiding 00:10:43.740 --> 00:10:46.679 dense foods and so on. Let me read you some more 00:10:46.679 --> 00:10:50.559 from my notes. Ekadashi people is very absent 00:10:50.559 --> 00:10:53.100 -minded. They appear absent -minded. It's a healing 00:10:53.100 --> 00:10:57.980 tithi. People like this are advised not to eat 00:10:57.980 --> 00:11:00.639 too much dense foods, gluten ones for example. 00:11:01.700 --> 00:11:05.220 Resting and lying down in a supine position and 00:11:05.220 --> 00:11:08.320 allowing the body to heal itself is the remedy. 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:11.980 Just lie flat on the ground and let things take 00:11:11.980 --> 00:11:15.899 over. Let the fire do its work. Wear loose clothes. 00:11:16.100 --> 00:11:19.000 We eat very light foods. This will help you generally. 00:11:20.139 --> 00:11:22.100 These people have a very strong subconscious 00:11:22.100 --> 00:11:25.090 brain. They work with their instincts. These 00:11:25.090 --> 00:11:28.269 are not the people for mainstream jobs which 00:11:28.269 --> 00:11:31.070 require very high creativity or active jobs. 00:11:31.350 --> 00:11:36.070 They need a lot of time and space and idle space 00:11:36.070 --> 00:11:39.409 for their creativity from within to come out. 00:11:40.889 --> 00:11:43.450 Like I said, eating dense foods like grains are 00:11:43.450 --> 00:11:45.950 not good. Fruits are good for them. Eating a 00:11:45.950 --> 00:11:51.250 lot of fruits, lighter foods. Things like working 00:11:51.250 --> 00:11:54.190 for higher principles, Sagittarian kind of energy 00:11:54.190 --> 00:11:57.610 or having goals is not possible for these people. 00:11:58.429 --> 00:12:01.049 And even Pisces like letting go or resting because 00:12:01.049 --> 00:12:03.490 these people cannot go into a no brain state. 00:12:03.549 --> 00:12:07.070 They can be idle but keep thinking. Therefore 00:12:07.070 --> 00:12:10.330 they end up having sleep issues. These are from 00:12:10.330 --> 00:12:14.950 my notes. Now let us see the Shukla side and 00:12:14.950 --> 00:12:18.639 the Krishna side of this. So let's see the Krishna 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.179 part and the Shukla part of this ascetic Ekadashi. 00:12:23.039 --> 00:12:26.759 It's an ascetic nature, basically. Okay? It's 00:12:26.759 --> 00:12:28.700 a detailed one. We can have long conversations 00:12:28.700 --> 00:12:30.659 about this. If you need a reading, get in touch 00:12:30.659 --> 00:12:33.740 with me. Anyway, Shukla Ekadashi, ascetic virtue 00:12:33.740 --> 00:12:38.639 and vision. Going outward, it plays out as growth 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:43.179 -oriented, devotional and purifying. The psychic 00:12:43.179 --> 00:12:46.740 inclination for these natives are discipline, 00:12:47.059 --> 00:12:49.799 fasting and mantra practice. They are drawn towards 00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:53.759 this and they must do this. Because that internal 00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:57.700 fire, it's difficult to control. It cannot be 00:12:57.700 --> 00:12:59.860 controlled actually, if you ask me. Technically, 00:13:00.100 --> 00:13:03.019 it can only be channeled into the right areas. 00:13:03.740 --> 00:13:06.259 The fire cannot be quelled. The very nature of 00:13:06.259 --> 00:13:10.179 fire is to burn off that which is untrue, spiritually 00:13:10.179 --> 00:13:13.909 speaking. They carry the psychic siddhi of tapas 00:13:13.909 --> 00:13:18.389 or meditation. Tap actually, tapas to say that 00:13:18.389 --> 00:13:21.309 its meditation is incorrect. Meditation does 00:13:21.309 --> 00:13:24.049 not encapsulate the core meaning of the word 00:13:24.049 --> 00:13:28.950 tapas. Tap means heat. Anything which is hot 00:13:28.950 --> 00:13:33.809 is tapas. So it generates an internal heat, a 00:13:33.809 --> 00:13:36.889 spiritual fire so to speak, which burns off the 00:13:36.889 --> 00:13:41.259 seeds of karma. or latent subconscious thinking, 00:13:41.980 --> 00:13:44.419 if I had to put it in modern psychological terms. 00:13:45.399 --> 00:13:49.220 The ability to generate spiritual fire that burns 00:13:49.220 --> 00:13:53.659 away karmic impurities, that's what Ekadashi 00:13:53.659 --> 00:13:57.379 superpower is. And they need to channel this 00:13:57.379 --> 00:14:00.240 more than anything else. It grants them natural 00:14:00.240 --> 00:14:03.519 higher vision. Again, especially if this is in 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:06.629 more planets. in 8th or 12th house and you are 00:14:06.629 --> 00:14:09.009 born under the Ekadashi, you need to really evaluate 00:14:09.009 --> 00:14:11.649 what this person is good at. They will automatically 00:14:11.649 --> 00:14:14.990 be drawn to all these meditative practices. The 00:14:14.990 --> 00:14:18.769 8th and the 12th are symbolic of that, transformative 00:14:18.769 --> 00:14:24.289 houses, isn't it? So they should do some fasting, 00:14:24.509 --> 00:14:27.149 they should tune into Vishnu or Shiva by the 00:14:27.149 --> 00:14:30.370 way of mantras, by the way of sadhanas, having 00:14:30.370 --> 00:14:33.669 an inner vision while doing any kind of yoga 00:14:33.669 --> 00:14:38.299 for example. Raja yoga for example. Mantra repetition, 00:14:38.480 --> 00:14:42.679 very good. Meditation for clarity, yes. It's 00:14:42.679 --> 00:14:46.600 more like they need to use that fire, go quietly 00:14:46.600 --> 00:14:51.379 inside, by the way of tapas and then ask for 00:14:51.379 --> 00:14:54.159 something to be revealed. You're basically asking 00:14:54.159 --> 00:14:57.940 the spiritual fire which is latent in you to 00:14:57.940 --> 00:15:01.299 guide your path forward. That's what Shukla Ekadashi 00:15:01.299 --> 00:15:03.779 should do. Well, what does Krishna Ekadashi want 00:15:03.779 --> 00:15:08.129 to do? It's a penitent soul and a mystic seer. 00:15:08.389 --> 00:15:10.929 Now if you are Krishna Ekadashi and 8th and 12th 00:15:10.929 --> 00:15:13.870 house active in the chart, this becomes really 00:15:13.870 --> 00:15:17.309 potent. It's release -oriented, introspective 00:15:17.309 --> 00:15:20.490 and karmic. These people become highly introspective. 00:15:21.289 --> 00:15:24.649 These individuals embody deep penitence and often 00:15:24.649 --> 00:15:28.450 wrestling with desires and karma. They like squirming 00:15:28.450 --> 00:15:30.509 in their seats because now the karma is being 00:15:30.509 --> 00:15:34.679 burnt by inner fire, the inner Rudra. their psychic 00:15:34.679 --> 00:15:39.480 cities, mystic vision, inner sighted gained through 00:15:39.480 --> 00:15:43.580 renunciation and self purification. So what would 00:15:43.580 --> 00:15:47.120 help them? Complete fasting, deep meditation, 00:15:47.860 --> 00:15:49.879 karmic austerities. Now this is a very generic 00:15:49.879 --> 00:15:53.259 term. Karmic can be anything. It may be going 00:15:53.259 --> 00:15:56.360 into even nature. It may be helping the animals. 00:15:56.580 --> 00:15:59.580 It can be any number of things. It's not necessarily 00:15:59.580 --> 00:16:03.549 just one thing, but in case of Ekadashi, it becomes 00:16:03.549 --> 00:16:07.029 about fasting, it becomes about meditation, it 00:16:07.029 --> 00:16:10.690 becomes about mystical sadhana. Sadhana means 00:16:10.690 --> 00:16:14.809 discipline, spiritual discipline. Discipline 00:16:14.809 --> 00:16:18.210 yourself, put your ego aside, put the random 00:16:18.210 --> 00:16:21.370 thinking and the propensities that all these 00:16:21.370 --> 00:16:26.549 kinds of social media platforms encourage, participating 00:16:26.549 --> 00:16:30.779 in garbage of all kinds of news. Get rid of that, 00:16:30.980 --> 00:16:34.659 sit quietly and ask for something to be resolved 00:16:34.659 --> 00:16:37.279 if you're looking for some issues in your life. 00:16:38.419 --> 00:16:41.879 It dissolves desires, sharpens inner -sight and 00:16:41.879 --> 00:16:47.320 frees the karma aspect. The whole condensed form 00:16:47.320 --> 00:16:53.100 of Vedic lore in terms of Rudra is burning away 00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:56.159 the seeds of the subconscious patterns which 00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:00.779 keeps germinating as desires going outward. Once 00:17:00.779 --> 00:17:04.339 that is gone with the fire of Rudra, then a room 00:17:04.339 --> 00:17:07.519 is made for something new to be born. Then Brahma 00:17:07.519 --> 00:17:09.539 comes over and creates something new. This is 00:17:09.539 --> 00:17:12.750 the cycle of creation itself. Next, we shall 00:17:12.750 --> 00:17:15.509 be discussing Dwadashi or the 12th day of the 00:17:15.509 --> 00:17:19.210 lunar calendar on the waxing side or on the waning 00:17:19.210 --> 00:17:21.670 side. Meanwhile, take care, be safe, share this 00:17:21.670 --> 00:17:25.390 video if you know someone who's born under Ekadashi. 00:17:25.710 --> 00:17:26.289 Okay, take care.
