1. Modern western astrologers use the tropical abstract Zodiac, suggesting that the Sun comes to the same point on the vernal equinox. Vedic astrologers take into accoun the sidereal (fixed) horoscope. The Universe expands constantly, stars move little by little, they do not stand still.

The Sun returns to the same point every year with a little displacement, which is approximately 50 1 / 3 arc-second. This Sun’s shift back against the stars is called precession or ayanamsha. The Indian astrology considers this very slight shift which is 23 degrees for 2000 years. The coincidence of two Zodiacs falls on spring equinox of 285 AD. Thereby the first difference between a Vedic and Western chart is that the planets and Lagna are shifted back by approximately 23 degrees 52 ‘minutes depending on the date of birth.

2. In the Vedic astrology each house takes a whole sign even if the Ascendant sign falls on the first degree. In the Western astrology one sign can cover up to three houses.

The Vedas, like other God-given revelations, assert that we are parts of God, created in His image and likeness. On the spiritual level we are tiny particles of Brahman (the Supreme Spirit, the Absolute Truth) and on the material level our body also is a Universe in miniature. Just as any organ will be satisfied and get all the necessary components for its vital functions if it properly serves the whole body, so a certain breather can be happy only if on the spiritual level one is living God’s love, devoted oneself to serving God and all living beings (as God sees them as particles), and on the physical level living in laws of the physical Universe, close to the nature, eats and rests according to the routine established by the nature, uses only healthy, natural food and clean water, takes into account various natural rhythms, especially the moon ones.

All the civilizations, except the modern ones, used to live in accordance with the moon calendar. Even modern scientists have proved that as our body is tuned to the moon cycle and it is much more useful and natural for us to live according to the moon calendar than to the artificial sun calendar, conventionally accepted and used by most of the people.

To begin with, one needs to understand one simple thing: we all need cleansing from time to time.
Think about it: even if you have the most gorgeous house and lovely furniture, it still requires cleaning. Because dust is collected on the furniture in spite of your desire, even if your house is very nice and you live far away from cities. Likewise, a man should be cleansed. Regular cleansing is a very important thing, both in Oriental medicine and in eastern psychology.

Purification on the physical level

The human body is built in such a way that it secretes a certain amount of waste. And a peculiarity is that during the day the body needs food and in the evening it begins, by contrast, producing waste. Therefore, Oriental medicine does not advise to use night cream – it is believed to be nonabsorbable and even more, to stop access of oxygen to the skin and to not let it get rid of toxins. Ayurveda says that 95% of our illnesses arise because waste is accumulated in the intestine. English modern scientists agree with it – they believe that this is the cause of broken metabolism.

Physical purification requires:

At least 2 ablutions per day. First, you need to take a shower in the morning because our body excretes waste until 9 a.m., and unless we wash it off until this time, it will be absorbed back. In the evening, 2 hours before sleep, it is required to have another bath to relieve stress. And just before going to bed wash your feet with cold water because negative energy is being accumulated in them during the day.

or on the subject how to treat money so that it is always available and brings happiness

In America there is a national dream, or rather a national philosophy, – everyone can and must become a millionaire. Today a man who artfully throws a ball into a ring earns millions of dollars per month; strippers make tens of thousands of dollars per month. And here is the question: why must people who do spiritual practices or who are engaged in spreading love to God earn less?

In this material world, no matter how high your life’s goal is, or how high the knowledge you give to people is, people won’t value you, and that is all because you are not financially successful. If you are a poor looser, nobody will talk to you. The Vedas affirm that people around value us as to how we’re successful, how we managed to fulfill ourselves. In the first place, it relates to men. The main advice for men who complain about problems in their private life: “Become successful and all your problems will be gone.” Nowadays, as a rule, our success is estimated by people around us by the quantity of money we have.
