The Moon. It represents the more receptive as well as expressive side of our nature. It represents our moods, how our moods influence us; can also represent how we are influenced by hormones. #VedicAstrology
Moon is our imagination, it is the connection to our past, our history. It is believed to be the storehouse of our past lives, represents our soul, our personality traits, habits & tendencies from one life to the next. #VedicAstrology #astrology
The closer our identification with our soul, the closer our identification to the moon. #VedicAstrology #astrology
What's the affinity of moon in various houses:
First house: Moon represents the body and ego, more the growth of the body, how the body develops. Also, how we our ego plays out, how we express our confidence. #VedicAstrology #astrology
2nd House: The influence here's on moon our face & sense organs, our ability to perceive things, our state of contentment and satisfaction with our resources.
3rd House: Shows our rhythmic ability, our relationship to music. #VedicAstrology #astrology
4th House: Deals with the mother, the foundation of our feelings, our standard emotional responses to events and our home. #VedicAstrology #astrology
5th House: Shows our imagination, ability to improve our situations & consciousness. Good moon in 5th makes us adaptable, adjust to problematic situations, be more successful. Bad/waning moon here means we make mistakes, get fixated on problems. #VedicAstrology #astrology
6th House: Moon can show the development of our body again and the physical maturation. How our hormones influence our health.

12th House: Moon deals with dreams & our inner state, the inner subconscious, the inner memories, the inner past impressions. #VedicAstrology #astrology
Since Moon is about our mind, in case there's a malefic influence, it can improve with Meditation. Join my workshop on "Meditation & Tantra" to get started. Contact via DM or comments, for workshop & astrological reading. #meditation#astrology

What were the core teachings of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa?
Sri Ramakrishna Paramahamsa's teachings virtually cover the entire gamut of Hinduism and its various facets. It is very difficult to consolidate his core teachings to a few lines. Anyhow I will make a humble effort:
The purpose of Human life is to realize God.
One must strive to realize God in this very birth.
Knowing God is real knowledge. All other other knowledge is ignorance.
Without sacrificing Kamini and Kanchana (lust and gold) no spiritual progress is ever possible. #Spirituality
Yat mat, tat pat - "As many religions, so many paths". In attaining God, every religion is valid.
God is with form, without form & He could manifest in so many other ways too, beyond our comprehension.
An idol isn't just clay. God's consciousness manifests in it. #Spirituality
Ms Bagalamukhi - this Mahavidya or Cosmic Wisdom among the Dus Mahavidyas or 10 Great Cosmic Wisdom Goddesses in the Hindu Pantheon of Tantric Goddesses. #Spirituality
One of her main aspects is related to speech; which is why she resonates with the Great Cosmic Wisdom Ma Tara, and is often considered one of her forms.
We can understand this connection if we agree that an intense subtle radiation is related to manifestation of light; thus, Tara manifests as Bagalamukhi when subtle energy of sound manifests as light.
This video speaks of other cosmic aspects of Ma Tara
What was the significance of Ramakrishna Paramhans in the spiritual development of India?
Spiritual Renaissance of a very practical kind. #Spirituality
Harmony of all religions in line with the ancient Vedic idea that all rivers lead to the same ocean.
Integration of all the four yogas. One is free to choose or mix and match as long as it suits one’s tendencies. #Spirituality
Inclusion of householders in the Spiritual league almost at par with the monastic disciples. Also, bringing them together in His name for serving the larger human cause. #Spirituality
Its an important concept in Hinduism & like so many terms has no English equivalent. It has various meanings around generation of internal “heat” like austerity, asceticism, penance, self-discipline, meditation, self-denial, self-abnegation etc.
The GITA Chapter 17 has a detailed dissertation on the subject - detailing the tapas (self-discipline) of body, speech and mind.
The Threefold Division of Tapas (self-discipline): #Spirituality
14. Adoration of the gods, the twice-born, the preceptors, the enlightened ones, purity, rectitude, chastity and non-injury, these are said to be the physical disciplines.
Why do enlightened people like Jiddu, U.G. Ramakrishna, and Ramana Maharshi give contradictory statements on the Kundalini power? Some of them negate and others affirmative. #Kundalini #Spirituality
Ramakrishna Paramahamsa is universal in his spirituality. He did not merely accept but intensely practiced several religious paths and then the several systems within Hinduism, and showed that they were all true. #Spirituality #Kundalini
He stated the truths in simple words, expressed and displayed truths directly, and compassionately taught all these to everyone.
He did express about Kundalini, which has been celebrated by Sages for thousands of years. This must be true. No doubts. #Spirituality #Kundalini
