1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,260 Every creature, every plant, animal and every human being born on this earth plane 2 00:00:06,260 --> 00:00:14,600 from the perspective of Vedic Astrology is born in one of the nakshatras, in one of the zodiac signs, yes? 3 00:00:14,600 --> 00:00:21,600 So from this perspective we must understand that Vedic Astrology provides us a color. 4 00:00:21,600 --> 00:00:27,300 These nakshatras, the 27 nakshatras are the constellations of the moon. 5 00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:38,300 As well as the 12 houses of the sun, they provide a platform for these soul energies that come to play from within us. 6 00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:42,800 What it provides is basically a personality, a color. 7 00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:49,300 We need a personality to play out in the world as something or as someone, yes? 8 00:00:49,300 --> 00:00:56,300 The soul itself is just pure light. It belongs to the Creator. We are all part of the same Creator. 9 00:00:56,300 --> 00:01:05,300 The soul itself, by its own light, can shine as a number of combinations of any one of these 27 nakshatras 10 00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:12,300 and any one of these 12 constellations are signs of the sun, yes? 11 00:01:12,300 --> 00:01:20,300 So what this earth plane provides us as souls, as embodied beings who come into playing here 12 00:01:20,300 --> 00:01:27,300 as different genders, different societies, different race, culture, religion, etc. 13 00:01:27,300 --> 00:01:37,300 What it provides us is basically a platform to color our personality in a way that enables us to interact in a certain form, 14 00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:44,300 in a certain fashion, in a certain color, in a certain personality type, in a certain propensity, 15 00:01:44,300 --> 00:01:52,300 in a certain sense of desire, what we desire to have and experience. 16 00:01:52,300 --> 00:01:59,300 Because remember, as we discussed before, the soul just has desire of experience. 17 00:01:59,300 --> 00:02:06,300 So what does my soul basically desire? It desires an experience or a set of experiences. 18 00:02:06,300 --> 00:02:11,300 The soul can desire multiple things all at the same time. It's multi-dimensional. 19 00:02:11,300 --> 00:02:18,300 It lends each and every soul a particular color and a personality. 20 00:02:18,300 --> 00:02:28,300 And these nakshatras and these 12 zodiac signs basically are helping us color our personality and our perspective. 21 00:02:28,300 --> 00:02:36,300 We have each come here with a certain lens that we sense and use to project into the outer world. 22 00:02:36,300 --> 00:02:43,300 We interact with the earth, with all beings and with all human beings based on this color, 23 00:02:43,300 --> 00:02:52,300 based on this nature that we have inherited, so to speak, through the zodiac signs and through the 27 nakshatras. 24 00:02:52,300 --> 00:02:57,300 So you must understand this as clear and concise. 25 00:02:57,300 --> 00:03:05,300 Every guru, every prophet, everybody who has walked upon this earth plane, including all the avatars of Vishnu, 26 00:03:05,300 --> 00:03:11,300 everybody has a color of these nakshatras and of these zodiac signs. 27 00:03:11,300 --> 00:03:14,300 Because that is the only way to interact. 28 00:03:14,300 --> 00:03:23,300 A pure soul energy or a pure life essence itself has no perspective of its own. 29 00:03:23,300 --> 00:03:29,300 Or in another way, you can say that it has all the perspectives all at the same time. 30 00:03:29,300 --> 00:03:37,300 But in a linear time, in a linear format of time that we are living in day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute, 31 00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:45,300 it has to play out in a certain sequence, in a certain way, step by step sequence. 32 00:03:45,300 --> 00:03:51,300 This plays out in the Vedic Astrology charts that we see. 33 00:03:51,300 --> 00:03:53,300 It is just a personality color. 34 00:03:53,300 --> 00:03:57,300 It is not absolute, but it gives you a form and a function. 35 00:03:57,300 --> 00:03:59,300 It gives you a place to start. 36 00:03:59,300 --> 00:04:01,300 It is a starting place. 37 00:04:01,300 --> 00:04:05,300 It is not the end point and it is not the be all and the end all of things. 38 00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:06,300 It never is. 39 00:04:06,300 --> 00:04:08,300 It was never designed to be. 40 00:04:08,300 --> 00:04:10,300 The design is beautiful. 41 00:04:10,300 --> 00:04:13,300 The design is all of us are needed. 42 00:04:13,300 --> 00:04:19,300 The design is one where it says everything created is of the creator. 43 00:04:19,300 --> 00:04:21,300 You are part of the creator. 44 00:04:21,300 --> 00:04:23,300 I am part of the creator. 45 00:04:23,300 --> 00:04:27,300 All of us are friends, family, children, animals, plants, birds. 46 00:04:27,300 --> 00:04:31,300 Everyone is part of the same creator. 47 00:04:31,300 --> 00:04:36,300 But we need different personality types to have this little game going on on earth. 48 00:04:36,300 --> 00:04:38,300 We have a little game going on here. 49 00:04:38,300 --> 00:04:40,300 We play a certain kind of a role. 50 00:04:40,300 --> 00:04:43,300 We are all like actors on a stage. 51 00:04:43,300 --> 00:04:50,300 These 27 nakshatras and these 12 signs are basically giving that color to our soul while we are here. 52 00:04:50,300 --> 00:04:52,300 We are here for a short amount of time. 53 00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:58,300 But in this short amount of time, we are here to play out as these personalities. 54 00:04:58,300 --> 00:05:00,300 So what can we do?
