One of the missions of our founder, Sri Dattatreya Siva Baba, is to share the wisdom of Vedic Astrology with the modern world. To assist with that, He directed the creation of a free tool at Astroved called Planetary Watch to help everyone watch what planet is ruling at any given hour. The name echoes a famous poem:
“Then felt I like some watcher of the skies
when a new planet swims into his ken”
~ John Keats, poet
 

How to Get Time on Your Side

3 Comments »Time

Time not only rules human life but the life of planets and countries as well. Time is a mysterious phenomenon. It is very much involved with growth. A baby is born and it grows into a boy/girl and man/woman. Plants and animals grow as well. What is time? It is difficult to precisely define it, although it is definitely movement. Consider chronological time. It is currently near the end of 2007 and after December the year 2008 starts. What makes calendar time move is the rotation of planets. If the planets don’t rotate, time does not exist.

J.Krishnanmoorthy, the celebrated mystic and philosopher of our century, introduced the concept of psychological time and also defined it as movement. Thoughts move and create time. If thoughts don’t move there won’t be any time. In his classic interview with the famous British Quantum Physicist David Bohm, Krishnamurthy discussed the ending of time at some length and how one can stop the thought process and experience timelessness.
