1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,240
So without further ado let's jump into four aspects the four pillars of Vedic

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:12,040
Shastras or the Vedas or the ancients in India how they have laid out like the

3
00:00:12,040 --> 00:00:18,400
four foundations of human living. Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha and I shall

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:25,400
evaluate in this entire series and this entire playlist how we can take a deep

5
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:31,240
dive into the astrological aspects Vedic Astrology using these just these

6
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:36,080
four aspects because these are so deep and this give us so many more meanings

7
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:41,960
so many more understandings so many more things to reflect on about what our

8
00:00:41,960 --> 00:00:47,680
talents are what we are here to accomplish what we are here to manifest

9
00:00:47,680 --> 00:00:52,920
in our life which will be giving us more content more peace more satisfaction in

10
00:00:52,920 --> 00:00:57,800
life in whatever we are desiring to accomplish that's the target here folks

11
00:00:57,800 --> 00:01:05,240
okay why do we need all this stuff okay first of all we you and I don't come with

12
00:01:05,240 --> 00:01:09,840
some operating manual what from the time we pop out of a mother's womb we are not

13
00:01:09,840 --> 00:01:17,240
given any operating manual of how to live our life how do we understand who we

14
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,280
are the basic question human beings ask themselves as soon as they are a bit of

15
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:29,120
an adult a young adult somewhere between 15 and 25 we are start asking this

16
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:33,000
really deep question somewhere along the line who am I what am I here to do

17
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:36,800
what am I here to accomplish what would give me satisfaction in life what

18
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:42,160
career path do I choose what kind of partnerships do I choose what will give

19
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:46,920
me the best possible outcome in life isn't that what we are here to do the

20
00:01:46,920 --> 00:01:53,360
best possible outcome okay so using these four foundational pillars called

21
00:01:53,360 --> 00:01:59,600
Dharma Artha Kama and Moksha and how they can be interpreted in 2022 and beyond

22
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:05,600
not using old mythological tales but using something more contextual more

23
00:02:05,600 --> 00:02:11,560
present-day scenarios more of what kind of professions I'm here to choose what

24
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:17,560
kind of partnerships I'm here to choose what kind of life am I desiring to live

25
00:02:17,560 --> 00:02:21,400
okay as a soul now we are trying to take very

26
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:28,840
castology principles and kind of unpack them unpack them in a way that is more

27
00:02:28,840 --> 00:02:33,760
practical more grounded more usable by everybody doesn't matter which part of

28
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:39,480
the world you come from and sort of derive a better picture which makes

29
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:44,240
meaning to you personally there is nothing like universal stuff here it's

30
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:49,080
all personal every soul is coming individually to seek and actualize and

31
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:55,360
manifest certain kind of a lifestyle a life a lifestyle certain kinds of things

32
00:02:55,360 --> 00:03:00,080
certain talents they bring to the picture we are all our actors on a stage

33
00:03:00,080 --> 00:03:05,240
for this particular period in time and what we do in this time from birth to

34
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:13,520
death is our choice how do we make use of this intelligently so let's jump into

35
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:18,560
it right away there are four principles Dharma Artha Kama and Moksha which will

36
00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,400
play into every house and every nakshatra which will be seen in this

37
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:25,400
entire series it cannot be encapsulated in one video I'll be too long that will

38
00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:34,680
be like a two-day video you see so Dharma have simplified it as the aspect of

39
00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:41,920
life or the aspect of our life energy in us that is seeking higher meanings now

40
00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:45,320
Dharma can be played out in many many ways it can be played out you're seeking

41
00:03:45,320 --> 00:03:50,000
higher meaning in love you're seeking higher meaning in relationships you may

42
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,280
be seeking higher meaning in a job or a career or trying to study a some kind of

43
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:03,680
science or trying to become some kind of achievement in career maybe profession

44
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:09,880
seeking a position trying to become a CEO trying to become a businessman so

45
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:15,600
Dharma can be seeking a higher meaning in any one of these as we shall see in

46
00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:22,680
further slides Artha means seeking the means to accomplish that maybe you have

47
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,320
done the Dharma bit in previous lives now you have come to seek the means to

48
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:30,240
accomplish that very grounded approach to things seeking the means to accomplish

49
00:04:30,240 --> 00:04:34,920
what do I need the means to cook if I cook a dish I need all the ingredients

50
00:04:34,920 --> 00:04:39,680
first in my house in my kitchen so it's like Artha is trying to seek the

51
00:04:39,680 --> 00:04:45,920
means to accomplish that karma means desire fulfillment of desire seeking

52
00:04:45,920 --> 00:04:50,560
fulfillment of desires what am I seeking to fulfill what will give me

53
00:04:50,560 --> 00:04:57,560
fulfillment fulfillment of desires as you know very generic term seeking

54
00:04:57,560 --> 00:05:01,840
fulfillment of desires might be seeking just to accomplish millions of dollars in

55
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:07,760
something or seeking to just feed the poor or seeking to be a geologist and

56
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:14,520
working in some remote area on earth desire can be any anything really as we

57
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:19,640
know karma is seeking fulfillment of those desires we just linked on basic

58
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:25,320
principles in a simplistic way moksha means seeking integration and

59
00:05:25,320 --> 00:05:31,760
liberation from all the above meaning moksha is the conclusion of it when

60
00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:36,760
Dharma Artha and Kama are fulfilled natural last step is moksha that means

61
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:42,240
you have integrated the full experience of it you have fulfilled all desires you

62
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,240
have fulfilled all the means you have sought all the higher meanings and now

63
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:51,040
it's time to move on to something else altogether differently that's the moksha

64
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:55,480
part seeking integration and liberation simply means not just getting out of the

65
00:05:55,480 --> 00:06:01,960
body but it means seeking integration and the integration of the experience

66
00:06:01,960 --> 00:06:06,680
itself in totality you have finished the Dharma you have finished learning higher

67
00:06:06,680 --> 00:06:11,320
part of it you have taken all the means to accomplish it you have fulfilled your

68
00:06:11,320 --> 00:06:17,280
desire and now you are seeking liberation from it why because you want to

69
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:21,200
move on to the next stage you want more to the next Dharma stage next Artha

70
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:25,600
stage Kama stage and you will conclude it with moksha seeking integration why

71
00:06:25,600 --> 00:06:30,520
is this last step more important it's not more important the others all are

72
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:35,840
important it's just that the soul moves on to the next stage of anything only

73
00:06:35,840 --> 00:06:41,840
because it has completed in a circle the experience of that one particular

74
00:06:41,840 --> 00:06:47,840
aspect of life let's say a soul has desired to experience love in a

75
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:53,520
relationship okay it goes through all these four steps what is the higher

76
00:06:53,520 --> 00:06:57,200
meaning of desire why do I desire such and such person why do I desire this

77
00:06:57,200 --> 00:07:02,360
love from this person then it goes on this Artha part seeking the means to

78
00:07:02,360 --> 00:07:06,760
accomplish what do I need to do I need to make myself intelligent I need to make

79
00:07:06,760 --> 00:07:12,680
myself smart I need to make myself look intelligent dress smartly try to woo the

80
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:18,120
other partner that's Artha seeking the means to accomplish it Kama then you

81
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:22,640
want to fulfilment of that desire fulfill all your desires physical mental

82
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:29,160
emotional everything that completes the moksha the first three will complete it

83
00:07:29,160 --> 00:07:34,480
and the completion occurs in a way that is circular in the sense it's not

84
00:07:34,480 --> 00:07:41,080
linear it will occur in all these aspects and more and then the soul says yes

85
00:07:41,080 --> 00:07:45,280
now I have accomplished this I need to move on to some other kind of experience

86
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:50,280
and then you want to the next experience okay keep these four principles in mind

87
00:07:50,280 --> 00:07:54,240
because we'll go house by house nakshatra by nakshatra planet by planet and

88
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:59,480
see how these things happen from one chart to another we'll take some sample

89
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:04,080
charts and study them and I'll be asking more questions than answers so it'll

90
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:09,560
make you think for yourself the best way to understand and go into astrology and

91
00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:14,680
the best highest value it can provide for you is you understand it you study it

92
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:20,360
because you know yourself the best okay so take a keep watching and we'll keep

93
00:08:20,360 --> 00:08:35,000
continuing this lessons
