After my visit to Moscow I planned to share some of my thoughts on recent consultations and meetings.

Unfortunately, due to the lack of time I’m able to write my blog only now, and something has already slipped out of my memory.

I had to reduce the number of consultations in Moscow for, as a rule, they take away a lot of subtle energy. Usually they were evening consultations, and the most people who came were mentally ready and thus their energy was in a big plus.

I have also realized that it is yet early to finish giving consultations for me because for almost everybody who came it was very important and necessary.

I have given a course on the physical level which was quite a remarkable experience. Long ago I noticed that if among those who come to me there are people with a similar health disorder, I will most likely have the same kind of problem with my health. On the physical level I was very tired, because I couldn’t overcome a jet lag after my flight from Canada. And anyone could tell by my looks that day that the physical level is of vital importance.

Jyotish (translated as “light” from Sanskrit; used to name the Vedic Astrology in India) is also called Lunar astrology, as it considers the position of a sign in Moon and Nakshatra to be the most important factors in a person’s horoscope. It is by the position of the Moon that the past karma is defined and stunningly precise prognoses for the future are made. Should you ask anybody in India, “What is your sign?” in reply you would be given the name of the sign that the Moon was in at the moment of that person’s birth. In the West the reply would be as to the position of the Sun. The western astrologists nowadays are taking the role of the Moon on a person’s map more seriously; and this is quite understandable, for the Moon stays in each sign for two days, whereas the Sun one month long.

General information on the Moon. Classical Description.

The primary name of the Moon in Sanskrit is Chandra. It is the master of rhythm who reigns over such great natural cycles as tide and ebb. As we have already mentioned, the Sun stands for the male Divine spark, and the Moon for the female. Together they symbolize the great initial duplicity: male and female energy, activity and passivity, day and night, mind and feelings. The Sun governs the fire, and the Moon – the water. If the Sun is the Ego, the Moon is the Mind. Nevertheless, the Sanskrit term ‘manas’ translated as ‘mind’ in reality has a much wider meaning. Manas includes emotions as well, it should be regarded as mental and emotional sphere as a whole, as an aggregate of ability to sense and consciousness that reflects upon the objects.  Often “Manas” is used to determine all mental activities, including not only thought, attention and reason, but also contemplative meditations, reveries and fantasies.

Mercury represents speech, communication and commerce, manages education, writing, calculation, purposeful thinking.  As the fastest of the planets, it gives an ability to assimilate knowledge quickly and a swift adaptability to different people and situations, an ease of self-expression.

Mercury is intellectual and nervous energy in its active forms. Therefore, by the status of Mercury in the natal chart it is possible to consider intellectual abilities of a man, his ability to set goals and the state of his nervous system.  Mercury is responsible for the respiratory and nervous system, speech, education and intellect.
Mercury is the smallest planet in our solar system with a fast reaction, changing character, quickness and restlessness.

Main name of Mercury is Buddha. This Sanskrit word means intelligence and is related to the concept of “Buddhi” – the ability to make correct judgments, which allows to distinguish reality from visionary (when this ability is fully awakened, a man becomes “enlightened” – Buddha).

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.

Philosophical concept of Venus

Venus is a Goddess of love and beauty. If Jupiter is the guru of Gods and saints then Venus is the mentor of demons. As it is possible to subordinate and then manage the demonic powers only by charm and sexual attraction. In the history of all civilizations you will find many examples when the rulers of this world easily fell under the influence of a beautiful woman.
In a natal chart of a man Venus signifies a wife or a beloved woman. Venus is our ability to appreciate beauty, to be harmonious, it shows how much a person can love and create beauty around him.

Venus is a characteristic of art, in the first place – music, singing, dancing, painting, poetry.
In a good location Venus gives a person beauty and good heart, excellent sense of humor and sense of taste.
It can also give extrasensory and hypnotic aptitudes, visualization ability.
If Venus in a chart is weakened or a person does not live in harmony then he is not able to distinguish love from affection and can become a slave of his feelings, suffer from an obsessive desire to surround himself with luxurious things, become a fan of the lower forms of culture: hard rock, loud, screaming music, to make a cult of sex and violence.

Modern mass media is almost completely under the influence of lower Venus energies which adversely affects whole society and especially teenagers.
Tantra belongs to Venus. Lowest, sexual tantra reflects the lowest level of Venus energy and the highest tantra shows the level of loving service to God, unconditional love for everyone and everything that corresponds to the highest energy level of this planet.
The Sanskrit name of Venus is Shukra, which means “a glittering light”, “warm” as well as “seed” that implies the beginning of a new life.

‘If I had to read a lecture, I would have given most of my attention to the relationships between people. This is the most important what I have learnt working in Odessa’s port and in all my subsequent life.’

Mikhail Zhvanetskiy, a Russian writer, TV host and comedian

Recently I gave consultation to a man who was depressed as his wife had abandoned him for his friend leaving him a daughter. An athletic-looking, successful businessman, has been completely shattered and seemed to be the embodiment of misery. It took me a few trainings and a serious consultation to bring him to his senses.

Of course, this is an extreme case, but nonetheless - can you imagine a man whose relationships in the family, at work, with friends doesn’t getting on well and he would be happy and successful?  No, it’s impossible.

Say you have a huge luxurious house, five cars, best clothes, food, as in heaven, but you are alone and stranded on a desert island. Would you agree? Hardly…

  Ayurveda states that the health of a woman depends mainly on three things: optimum sleep, optimum diet and regulated sex. In my opinion, these are equally important for men too.

  Although sleep is considered ignorance, it is still necessary for the proper functioning of our body. But the more a person is influenced by ignorance, the more he wants to sleep unnecessarily. People in sattva require less time for sleeping – medical research suggests that only four hours sleep is sufficient for most people. Although it is widely believed that we need to sleep at least eight hours daily, people with an interesting life and exciting goals often find they don’t need as much – especially if the sleep is properly regulated.

  Sleep between 9 p.m. and 1 a.m. is the most valuable, since at this time the nervous system is resting and the long-term memory is not working. Therefore, a person in sattva tries to sleep at this time for optimum rest. We may note that in nature most species of life also sleep at this time; only modern tamasic-rajasic people are awake…
Take heed! The concept of “night owls” and “early birds” has developed only recently because in the past practically everyone was an early bird. Scientists in Canada –where perhaps the largest percentage of a country’s population suffer from insomnia – assert that all problems with insomnia began when people started to go to bed late.
  

Philosophical conception of Saturn

Saturn is the main planet, which brings into people’s life sufferings and misery. The effect is of a karmic nature and means that a person cannot change almost anything in that sphere of one’s life where Saturn influences in the astrological chart. 

 Saturn was considered the most important among nine planets not only in India but also in other ancient cultures. Saturn has a name of Arbiter of fate. He is in charge of life span and prosperity. He can easily take out and raise a person “from rags to riches” and vice versa.

 The Vedic astrology gives to the Saturn the most honourable place, as its power can change a person fate. In astrology, Saturn has been since old times a significator of death, diseases, poverty, separation, deformities, and various perversions. From a spiritual point of view, it embodies such qualities as discipline, austerity, severity, detachment, patience, and loneliness.

 If Jupiter symbolizes creativity and extension, then Saturn means compression and destruction. Jupiter is a God of joy and he is an optimist. Saturn is a God of grief and sadness, he is a pessimist. Jupiter is a kind teacher, Saturn is harsh one and sometimes cruel.

 Saturn governs illnesses, old age and death, all those harsh teachers of human life, before which all the things being in the time’s power kneel. At the same time, destruction is the eternal companion of creation, while decay and death are the necessary conditions for a new life and growth.  The more we have attachments and dependencies in this world the more we feel fear in front of the Saturn.

 Saturn gives sufferings which contribute to development and growth of our soul and many great men consciously choose life full of sufferings and limitations for rapid progress. Saturn can cause fast aging and decay as it is an indicator of aging. It is easily to notice that people leading hectic lifestyle tend to get older quite quickly. From the other hand, people who keep a correct routine of their everyday life, tend to the sensible self-restraint, get older at much older age, live longer and keep fit mentally and physically nearly to the last minutes.

 As being the most sluggish planet, Saturn slows down all the processes and hinders movement. The Saturn’s name for Sanskrit is “Shani” which means sluggish, slow. It often brings to the life of people delay and postponement.

 Saturn is able to draw one’s power both at intellectual and physical levels. It causes melancholy and depression, awakens self pity and inspires anxiety and various concerns. Where are all those rooted? Selfishness. As, being on the lower level, Saturn is a planet of selfishness, so, the more egotistical the behavior of a person, the more severely and unfavorable Saturn affects him. However, as dear readers have already guessed, its influence does not give much pleasure.
