1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:10,000 Good morning ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a light of Aalanshya, Progressive Vedic Astrology and Aesthetoric Principles Channel. 2 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:20,000 This morning we shall discuss a bit on the fundamental principles of Shiva and Shakti as outlined in the Vedic Texts. 3 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:31,000 Now this is a combination of my decades of extensive study on the Vedic Texts, combining Vedic Ones, the Upanishads etc. 4 00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:44,000 There are many philosophies and many principles combined in the Vedic Texts and we shall briefly see how that ties into the astrological part. 5 00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:55,000 So Shiva and Shakti, what are these principles? The Shiva is, think of it as just to put it oversimplistically, it's just pure consciousness. 6 00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:03,000 Pure consciousness does not have any propensity to materialize or to move in the world. 7 00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:11,000 It's the stable aspect of pure consciousness or pure awareness itself. 8 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:14,000 It does not move, it's a still point. 9 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:30,000 If you can even conceptualize as the absolute still point in all of creation and beyond creation itself, that's the pure consciousness, that's the Shiva aspect. 10 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:41,000 Shakti on the other hand is one which wants to create, is one which moves in existence everything in creation. 11 00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:48,000 He's built by Shakti, even the bodies which we have, physical or non-physical, it doesn't matter which dimension. 12 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:53,000 We are considering all dimensions here of existence. 13 00:01:53,000 --> 00:02:11,000 When you say existence itself, when you say speak of creation itself according to Vedic Texts, it's all built by Shakti, it's all built by the Mother Goddess, the Mother of God, the Mother of existence. 14 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:14,000 What sustains it? 15 00:02:15,000 --> 00:02:20,000 Everything is born and created and sustained by Shakti. 16 00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000 Shakti is the one which is creation itself, you could say. 17 00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:30,000 According to these principles, one is pure consciousness and one is Shakti. 18 00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:46,000 Now how can Shakti be characterized as, well it can be characterized as pure desire, purest form of desire, not obsessions, compulsions of the mind or what one wants in an individuated body. 19 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000 But this we are speaking in terms of absolute here. 20 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000 So in absolute terms, Shakti is pure desire. 21 00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:57,000 Pure desire, what does it want to do? 22 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:04,000 It wants to actualize, materialize as a body, as a form, physical or non-physical. 23 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:12,000 All the bodies that we have, the five koshas which the Vedas speak of is also part of Shakti. 24 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000 Everything is part of Shakti, everything in creation. 25 00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:31,000 All bodies, all forms, all atoms, all molecules, all subatomic particles, all of this is part of Shakti, the Mother of the Universe or the Mother of all creation. 26 00:03:31,000 --> 00:03:45,000 Why is it signified as Mother in Vedic text? Well because Mother is the one which wants to sustain the first Satvik principle in Vedic Astrology in female terms. 27 00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:50,000 Female sign comes in Cancer which is the Mother energy. 28 00:03:50,000 --> 00:04:02,000 The Satvik movable and female sign is Cancer with Pushyarana Shlesha, Lakshata is there, Prahidakras. 29 00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:11,000 So Cancer is the first sign of the Mother. That's female again. But it's Satvik female. 30 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:20,000 So it is the purest form, Satvik means anything which has got the purest form of it. 31 00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:27,000 So Shiva and Shakti are these two poles of how the existence itself operates. 32 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:35,000 The existence operates on the basis of Shiva and Shakti. There is only Shiva and Shakti everywhere in operation. 33 00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:46,000 These are the two poles. Think of them as two poles of existence. Creation and everything beyond creation operates between these two poles. 34 00:04:46,000 --> 00:05:06,000 Why we say these two poles? Well existence doesn't matter again which bodies, the David bodies or the physical bodies or the super dense bodies, whatever bodies you want to call the rock, the tree, the plants, the birds, the stars, the galaxies, all have bodies. 35 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:13,000 These are all bodies. Okay. We are talking in absolute terms. So please expand your mind a little. 36 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:23,000 So when you talk of Shiva's principle as the still point and the Shakti principle as the movable point. 37 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:36,000 So between the still point and the movement, all of the creation occurs and is sustained and is maintained, is nurtured by, is fulfilled by and it moves in this existence. 38 00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:49,000 This is how polarization happens in this creation. In a unified field of consciousness, if you talk of God or the absolute oneness principle, both Shiva and Shakti are combined. 39 00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:59,000 When pure consciousness combines with pure desire, what does it become? Even projecting, just this morning I received this. 40 00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:06,000 What happens when pure consciousness and pure desire combine? Well it just becomes pure love. 41 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:14,000 That's the one which everybody perceives, senses, sees as love. 42 00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:21,000 The quality of love is the unification of Shiva and Shakti, pure consciousness and pure desire. 43 00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:29,000 Without needing or wanting anything is purest form. In its purest Satvik form, it becomes pure love. 44 00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,000 That's the unconditional love which many speak of. What is this unconditional love? 45 00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000 It's the unification of Shiva and Shakti principles. 46 00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:45,000 In this one, we'll talk a little bit about how it plays out in astrology with respect to Shakti. 47 00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:53,000 Tomorrow we'll speak of Shiva principles. Today we'll speak of Shakti, the mother of the universe. 48 00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,000 How it plays out in science? 49 00:06:56,000 --> 00:07:10,000 You've got to understand that the four termistic signs in Vedic Astrology all belong to the female because of this reason. 50 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:16,000 Because the female energy is the Shakti energy. It's part of the Shakti. 51 00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:27,000 All the physical females, let it be of any species including humans, they are all embodying this Shakti principle very strongly. 52 00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:35,000 In astrology, the female tamasic signs start from Virgo number 6. 53 00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:43,000 The original sixth house, sorry, I'm shifting around and coffee. 54 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:54,000 So it starts from the sixth sign of Virgo, right? The one which is ruled by Mercury. 55 00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:01,000 So Virgo is ruled by Mercury where Shakti wants to go and physically actualize everything. 56 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:08,000 The intellect wanting the physical aspect is Virgo, the creative earth. 57 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,000 That's an earth sign. 58 00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:21,000 So first it starts with earth, it goes into the next tamasic sign which is Scorpio ruled by Mars and Ketu and Pluto as well. 59 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:30,000 So when it goes to Scorpio, it goes into water sign, it goes into fixed sign, it goes into all the hidden places. 60 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:37,000 It unlocks everything because the entire creation, like I just spoke of, belongs to Shakti. 61 00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:43,000 Shiva just sits there and watches everything going on. He doesn't participate in anything. 62 00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:50,000 The participatory aspect of creation itself is Shakti, not Shiva, the goddess. 63 00:08:51,000 --> 00:08:57,000 So in east of India, lots of goddess energy is there which is worshipped in Calcutta and etc. 64 00:08:58,000 --> 00:08:59,000 All those places, but they are digress. 65 00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:07,000 So Scorpio, it becomes a still water. Remember we spoke of Scorpio as the still water. 66 00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:16,000 Virgo as the creative earth. So the next tamasic sign, Scorpio is still water. 67 00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000 What does the female energy want to do here? What does Shakti want to do here? 68 00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:34,000 The female goddess principle here, it becomes the one which wants to go and uncover all the secrets hiding anywhere in creation. 69 00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:43,000 That's why Scorpio goes deep into things. It is still water, still water, run deep as they say. 70 00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:50,000 So it would last to go and uncover all the secret hidden places, uncover all the stuff. 71 00:09:51,000 --> 00:09:55,000 Because nothing in creation is allowed to permanently hide in secret. 72 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,000 Everything comes out in the open. The truth they'll out as they say. 73 00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:06,000 It can't remain hidden forever. It doesn't matter what person thinks or who thinks it. 74 00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,000 The next one, tamasic sign will be the Capricorn. 75 00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:18,000 In Capricorn, ruled by Saturn now, it wants to go and anchor it. 76 00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:26,000 Saturn becomes the anchor point. It wants to physically actualize, materialize all the things in physical form. 77 00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,000 This is the drive-in tendency of the Capricorns. 78 00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:40,000 So in the sign of Capricorn, it goes through the energy of Saturn and wants to ground the energies which it has gained from number six and number eight. 79 00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:46,000 It's gone and uncovered everything. It's the confident one which wants to go and actualize everything. 80 00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:57,000 The last tamasic sign in female which is Aquarius, it goes towards Saturn combined with Rahu. 81 00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:12,000 You see how the female sign or the Shakti principle goes right from eight with Mars and Ketu and it moves all the way, graduates up to Aquarius which is Saturn with Rahu. 82 00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:20,000 So the Rahu and the Ketu energies which is between our head and our body is both are governed by Shakti. 83 00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:28,000 You see how powerful that is. This is why these energies of Goddess are very crucial. 84 00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:39,000 Now, just talking a little bit about the new energies as we all know, the new energies which is on the planet now and it's been for quite number of years. 85 00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:48,000 Many women around the world, the souls embodied in a woman's body are awakening more than the men. 86 00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:58,000 Why is this? Because this Shakti wants to uncover everything which is hidden, uncover all the secrets, bring back all the secrets. 87 00:11:58,000 --> 00:12:09,000 See, eighth sign is held by Shakti, it's tamasic. So is Saturn ruling the two houses of tamasic, it wants to ground it. 88 00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:16,000 The female principle of Shakti is the one which embodies everything physical. 89 00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:26,000 A woman gives birth to us, a woman feeds us right from any helpless babies, looks after us, cares for us, nurtures us, everything in creation. 90 00:12:26,000 --> 00:12:32,000 The female principle is doing this. The female is actually the one that's governing everything. 91 00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:39,000 It's not the male science. Male science have pure awareness. They come from another aspect which we should talk about tomorrow. 92 00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:45,000 But remember these two principles and the Shakti principle, how powerful it is. 93 00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:49,000 The Goddess principle which is also the mother principle. 94 00:12:49,000 --> 00:12:58,000 So there are these two faces of Shakti which, where she becomes the muse, the virgin and goes on to become the mother, the caring 95 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:09,000 and protects, the nurturing caring protection aspect which the Hindus worship as the divine Goddess, the mother of everything. 96 00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:18,000 The mother energy, that's the Satvik form of the Goddess which assumes a caring posture for everything. 97 00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:26,000 You have given birth to babies, a whole litter of them and now you take care of them, you nurture them with love. 98 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000 You know their weaknesses, mothers know the weaknesses of their kids. 99 00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:36,000 So you know their weaknesses, still you kind of put it to be protective about them. 100 00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000 Now, about them, this is a beautiful principle of creation, the Shakti principle. 101 00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:48,000 And it has lord ship in astrology over two of the most powerful science, the Scorpio and Aquarius. 102 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,000 One with Rahu and one with Ketu in it. 103 00:13:53,000 --> 00:14:00,000 One with the south node of the moon and Mars which is number eight, the hidden one 104 00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:05,000 and one which wants to go and dig deep into the mind if it's Saturn in it. 105 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:10,000 Saturn has got the Karaka of both the eight in the 12th houses. 106 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:18,000 This is why females who are awakening now across the world have started becoming very psychic. 107 00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:30,000 They are opening up to all kinds of psychic abilities and ancient wisdom, shamanic practices, occult practices, healing of the body, healing of the mind. 108 00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,000 Let's face it, just to digress a little bit, what does healing require? 109 00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:41,000 It requires the knowledge and the strength and the power of Shakti. 110 00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:54,000 The power of Shakti has the power to transmute any lower forms of energy because it needs to first go there, unlock it, uncover it, see it for what it is and then only remove it. 111 00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:01,000 This is how all women who are awakening now are feeling this energy since in the shift. 112 00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:20,000 So understand this even from an astrological perspective, the Shakti principle, the mother of the universe, the goddess principle and where it is reflected in the signs of Virgo, Scorpio, Capricorn and Aquarius. 113 00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:34,000 All these four signs are Tamasik and they belong to the female. No male signs as per Vedic astrology are Tamasik, they are either Rajasik or Satvik. 114 00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:42,000 We will come to that later tomorrow. Take care, have a good day.
