Present-tense is because of past tense ? about Past Life Regression etc.

[Shalu]

The role of past lives in present day problems and rebirth of souls is a debatable subject in many religions. However, rebirth of souls is a fundamental belief in Hinduism.

Recently, some TV channels started programmes on 'Past Life Regression'. However, those programmes are based on hypnotism and other methods which is a field completely separate from astrology.

edic Astrology is related to Hindu belief and this system of astrology talks about past lives and accumulated karmas of past lives which get manifested in situations of the present life. Vedic Astrology is based on the belief of karma and in the concept of Moksha (salvation).

It is believed that a soul has to wait for the exact constellation of stars before it takes birth in this world. The type of life which a person gets depends on his 'Sanchit Karma' (accumulated deeds of past lives). The uniqueness of Vedic Astrology is that it takes into account the effects of accumulated deeds of the past. It is believed that the dasa system devised in Vedic Astrology is the unfolding of one's karma in the past”. Any change in dasa can bring good or bad results depending on the karmic records of earlier lives.

Vedic Astrology also believes in Runanu- Bandhan (past life debts). This means that the friend one makes, the enmity one keeps, and family which one gets depends upon past life debts. No one comes in a person's life without any reason. People are interlinked with each other by the hidden hands of past karma. It means, if someone is coming repeatedly in life or if some issues are not getting resolved even after honest efforts, it is likely that such persons or issues are linked with the karmic records of past lives.

If one shares fortune, career, life or luck with someone, it is likely that such relationship is developing on account of past debts. It is also seen at times that bad fortune of someone becomes good fortune for the other. Such situations may remain interlinked.

Vedic Astrology also talks about different dosha(problems) caused by curses from past-lives. These doshas normally cause problems in having children, nurturing relationships, career-related issues, financial issues and many other issues which may affect an individual.

[Shalu]

The 'Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra' which is one of the most respected astrological treatises gives a long list of curses of past lives which influence individuals in the present life. Normally, such curses influence the birth of a child in the family. Some of the curses have been briefly described below.

(a) Curses of snakes: This indication is given in the horoscope by the placement and condition of Rahu. The effects of such placements are childlessness, fear from snakes and snake bites. This curse originates due to killing of snakes in past lives. The important house to be seen for this purpose is the fifth house.

(b) Curses of father: The placement and condition of the key planet Sun in the horoscope is important to understand this curse. This may be as a result of wrongs done to father or due to the suffering of souls of forefathers. The results are childlessness, uneasy relationships with father in current life, untimely death of father and lack of happiness from father. The relevant houses to be considered are the fifth, ninth and the tenth.

(c) Curses of mother: The placement and condition of the key planet Moon indicates this curse. This may be due to ill treatment of mother in past life. The results are childlessness, problems from mother, unhappiness from mother, untimely death of mother etc. Influences on the fourth house and the fifth house in the horoscope need to be analysed to understand this.

(d) Curses of brother: The planet which shows younger brother is Mars and planet which shows elder brother is Jupiter. Therefore, the placement and condition of Mars and Jupiter hold the key in interpreting this curse. The results are childlessness, difficult relationship of brother and sisters, problems from brothers and lack of cordial relations with brother etc. The relevant houses are the third, fifth and the eleventh in the horoscope.

(e) Curses of maternal relations: The key planet that shows maternal relatives is Mercury. Saturn is also important. The placement of Mercury and Saturn hold the key in understanding this curse. The result of this curse can be childlessness and difficult relationship with maternal relations. The role of fifth house is important.

(f) Curses of spiritual persons: The key planet that shows spiritual person is Jupiter. The placement and condition of Jupiter is important in understanding this curse. The effects can be childlessness, problems from teachers, unhappiness and general dissatisfaction in life etc. The condition of the ninth house and the placement of ninth lord are important.

(g) Curses of wife (or women): The key planet that shows wife is Venus. The placement and condition of Venus in the horoscope is crucial to understand this curse. The effect can be childlessness, difficulty in getting married, problems from wife or women, possibility of divorce, defamation from women etc. The most important house to be considered is the seventh house.

(h) Curses of evil spirits: The key planets which show evil spirits are Rahu and Ketu. The placement and condition of Rahu and Ketu in the horoscope is important to understand this. The effects may be childlessness, fear from unknown and fear of ghosts. The conditions of Moon, Saturn, the fifth house and the fifth lord are important considerations.

Only some selected examples of curses related to past lives have been discussed here. There are many other areas also which show the links of the past lives with the present life situations and problems. Worship, penance, charity and good deeds help us in getting rid of karmic problems arising from the karmic records of past lives.

why do people give curse and spoil others future lives.
its understandable for ordinary people like parents, siblings, friends, spouse, relatives, children to give curses.
But spiritual gurus giving curses is a crime.
They should have big enough heart to excuse ignorant behaviour of people, else they dont deserve to be gurus/gods

Ranjanaji,

Gurus and Sadgurus have a heart too. They, through Deep Meditation, Realisation of Self have calmed down their senses and have control over their anger and ego but at times they do get angry. I know my own Gurudev gets angry but HE does so much good to others that the anger in comparison fades away. It is HIS saying that only truthful people get angry with untruthful. Even my Sadguru would get angry but with those who did total wrong.

My Guru and another Lady working under my Sadguru saw this miracle once in a jungle near Aurangabad. 14 Dacoits came to rob 500 sets of Silver Plates (Thalis), Spoons, Glasses and Katoris from my Sadguru. HE is next to God. When the dacoits demanded from HIM all the Silver utensils HE suddenly turned into 14 Sadgurus with huge stick in their hands and started beating all of them. Why did HE beat them? Why does HE get angry. HE wanted to teach them all a lesson that robbing is not good and Dacoits can only understand the language of counter attack.

Ultimately when the Dacoits cried and asked forgivance HE offered them food in the same Silver Utensils and asked them that now they can take the utensils. But the Dacoits had reformed due to the action of my Beloved Sadguru. They got reformed and left their profession. So behind all anger there is a reason for great men. Whatever they do they do it for our good. They cannot do anything that is otherwise as they have no personal ambition. Their work in this life is to take you closer to God. This is why they are sent in this world.

There are many many instances and miracles of my beloved Sadguru which I will tell some other time. This I have only mentioned as it is in context of the question.

Pravin Kumar.

yep. its understandable for gurus to behave like ordinary humans at times because after all they\'re born and living as humans only.

but God giving curses etc is trash
one who does you avour if you praise him and punishes you when you abuse him is not god

[DCP]

yes i agree.. the whole idea of this karma looks like a trap

in human made courts, a culprit is punished only after he is proved wrong and with his knowledge of what sin he committed.
but in god\'s court or karma, we face problems for what we did in past life, which we dont remember anyway.

so human justice is better than god\'s justice, because a person can correct himself if he knows reasons behind his punishment, else he will get frustrated and revolt to commit more sins

[Srikanth]

good point raised DCP
humans are always treated as slaves by gods.
they create problems (thoughts to generate problems in human minds) and later act as if they\'re showering affections.
whats the point in playing this drama

[Seetaram]

to break this slavery and reach out for what you really deserve, start questioning gods and their meaningless creation

planets usually wont allow people to under go all these because they impose karmic bonds on us and wants us to remain bonded
so, many people born under planetary influence will not even believe this

only few who can excercise freewill can overcome all those karmic bonds with great difficulty and shed them to emerge clean
