Vedic Astrology and the Path of Healing 
Namaste Friends,
Vedic astrology is a gift to humanity from the great sages of India. It's a means for helping us understand ourselves and the purpose for our lives. When our chart is interpreted accurately it reminds us of who we are, it helps us re-align with the sacredness of our birth, which the birth chart reveals. This alone is a healing experience.

The chart describes our character traits, our strengths and challenges, as well as our karmic patterns related to various areas of our life like career and relationship etc. When we become more aware of these patterns then we are able to make constructive changes. We can't change anything until we are first aware of it. This is another healing aspect of Vedic astrology.

The chart gives us a 'bird's eye perspective' of the time periods of our lives. We can view long spans of time, or zoom in and analyze a narrow range of time in detail. Vedic astrology is a tool for self awareness that can alleviate the suffering that results from confusion.

A Time to Focus on Diet and Healing 
Most people, if not all people, experience a time in their lives when it becomes imperative to focus on healing their bodies. They may be facing a healing crisis, or just wanting to take precautionary preventative measures, like cleaning up our diet or fasting etc. These time periods, of course, can be traced astrologically.

The following chart is of a man who decided to give his body an overhaul, like rebuilding the engine of his car. He was in a Rahu-Mercury dasha and did a major detoxification program that involved fasting and eating only raw foods for several months. He didn't have any major ailments but was fighting some addictions and feeling lousy.

Notice how Mercury is conjunct the Sun, the significator of the body, and in a parivartana yoga (exchange of signs) with Jupiter in the 6th house. The 6th house is the house of illness, and conversely the house of health and healing.

Subba Rao: Promoting the peace-loving principles of Mahatma Gandhi 
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world," said Mahatma Gandhi. As a young man, Dr. Subba Rao took those words to heart, and he has dedicated his life to bringing people of all religious traditions together.

Rao, 75, grew up in British-controlled India and began to follow Gandhi as a teenager. He studied law at Brown University, worked as a translator for the prime minister of India and founded the National Youth Project of India. Over the decades, he has transformed the lives of hardened criminals, world leaders and children through humanitarian work that focuses on fostering religious tolerance, service to humanity and self-reliance.

In the News: Sean McCarthy and Free Energy 
Sean McCarthy says that no one was more sceptical than he when Steorn, his small hi-tech firm in Dublin, Ireland, hit upon a way of generating clean, free and constant energy from the interaction of magnetic fields. 'It wasn't so much a Eureka moment as a get-back-in-there-and-check-your-instruments moment, although in far more colourful language,' said McCarthy. But when he attempted to share his findings, he says, scientists either put the phone down on him or refused to endorse him publicly in case they damaged their academic reputations. So last week he took out a full-page advert in the Economist magazine, challenging the scientific community to examine his technology.

McCarthy claims it provides five times the amount of energy a mobile phone battery generates for the same size, and does not have to be recharged. Within 36 hours of his advert appearing he had been contacted by 420 scientists in Europe, America and Australia, and a further 4,606 people had registered to receive the results.
