Namaste Friends,
This month's Astro-Profile article is a fascinating study of the chart of Dr. Masaru Emoto, the Japanese researcher whose groundbreaking studies with water has earned him widespread fame and recognition. In his New York Times best-selling book, The Hidden Messages of Water, Dr. Emoto presents his stunning photographs of water crystals, which demonstrate how our thoughts, and even symbols of our thoughts, actually affect the molecular structure of water.
This article was featured on the cover of the February/March 2006 issue of The Mountain Astrologer magazine and demonstrates, through classic jyotish principles, how the dramatic presence of water can be seen in Dr. Emoto's chart. You will also learn how the often misunderstood and maligned 8th house can be understood to explain his transformative water research. You will also see an impressive example of how the yogas and the dashas combine to create sudden fame, success and profound influence.
The implications of Dr. Emoto's research opens up new perspectives on the power of our thoughts to transform our health and the health of our world.

Reciting mantras is an important remedial measure in Vedic astrology. It can be done by anyone, at anytime, it costs nothing, and is incredibly effective. The word mantra means to protect the mind. "Manas" means the mind and "Tra" means to protect.
The reciting of Ramnam, or the name of Ram, is a very popular and common practice in India. It became even more popularized by Mahatma Gandhi for whom Ramnam was a constant practice. When he was assassinated his last words were 'Rama, Rama.' Just a few months before he died he said, "Even if I am killed, I will not give up repeating the names of Ram and Rahim, which mean to me the same God. With these names on my lips, I will die cheerfully."
Sage Parashara, considered to be the father of Vedic astrology, frequently recommends mantra recitation in his classic text, Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. However, many of the mantras he recommends as a remedial measure are quite long and complicated. Reciting Ramnam is simple to learn and can be as powerful as reciting more elaborate mantras.
