Something we need to know and learn from:
An astrologer had come for Sri Maha Periyava’s darshan. He said, I have a very big family but very little income. The income I get out of practicing astrology is very less. I find it very difficult to survive. Periyava asked, “Oh Are you
An astrologer had come for Sri Maha Periyava’s darshan. He said, I have a very big family but very little income. The income I get out of practicing astrology is very less. I find it very difficult to survive. Periyava asked, “Oh Are you
living in the same ancestral house that your father was living in?” He said, no my elder brother is living in the same. I am living in another rental house that is on the western side of the ancestral house. Periyava said “Do not stay there. In the ancestral house, on the eastern
side, there is an old cow shed, isn’t it? You put-up a hut and stay there. For generations your family has ritualistically performed the Ambal pooja. Stay in the cow shed” (for it is the place where the Divine Mother herself dwells, as Periyava Himself has said many a time). He
continued, “There is another thing you should bear in your mind. You have the habit of deriding all the planets. ‘Guru is malevolent (neechan) in your horoscope’, ‘Sani is harmful’ (paapi), ‘Budha is perverted’ (vakran) and so on. You must not say such things. Guru is a gracious
planet. He is Dakshinamurthy swaroopam. You must not deride the embodiment of Dakshinamurti as malevolent, evil and perverted (neechan, paapi and vakran). Sani is the son of the Sun-God. He holds the title of Ishwara. You call him a sinner (paapi)! It is enough that you say that
the planets are not positioned favourably and that the times are not favourable! When horoscopes are brought to be matched why reject them harshly, without a concern for how the parents feel. Why not say that it will take time for the girl’s wedding to be held or that the young
man’s prospects of becoming a father are discouraging. Some girls are still single even at the age of thirty. When horoscopes of prospective grooms are brought for such persons you must avoid saying anything negative to the extent possible. In matters pertaining to marriage, you
need not give a lot of importance to horoscope matching. (As far as marriages were concerned, Periyava did not give a great deal of importance to horoscopes. The gotra (sect) and the background of the family alone had to be checked, apart from compatibility of the minds). In
olden days, horoscope matching did not have so much importance”.
The astrologer was very happy and said with full satisfaction, Hereafter I will do only as advised by Periyava. He took the prasadam and left.
