The ascent of the Votaries of Vedic Astrology through The Four Levels

Though mere ‘belief’ of the second level is certainly much better than the ‘unbelief & ignorance’ of the first level; yet it is still not ‘good enough’ and will accordingly not bring to us, ‘those vaster benefits and blessings’ we certainly aspire for, through our daily dedicated performance of the astrological Remedial Measures. It is for this reason that votaries of Vedic astrology will always be desirous of raising their level of awareness to its very summit. It is human nature to aspire for the ultimate and the highest-simply because humans are spiritually, of infinite magnitude, though on the material plane, they may be quite diminutive in their physical stature.

Therefore, far-sighted votaries of astrology, will not hesitate to raise their level of awareness, from the rudimentary stage of a mere ‘unbelief & ignorance’ to the second level of ‘belief’ and then they may even see the worthwhile ness of raising it to even the higher level of ‘profound faith’. This level can be reached only if one takes the pains to apply some thought and learn a few things, as to what astrology is all about and what it is not. The fourth level, of ‘understanding, insight & discovery’ is of course the most desirable & the most blessed of them all.

In this way, it is hoped that the votaries of Vedic astrology will come to receive the blessings of an abiding conviction, as also a new clarity & a profound understanding- in the light of which, it will become all the easier for them to accept Vedic astrological solutions for the baffling ‘karmic-problems’ in their lives.

Moreover, in the process of unveiling the intelligent face of Vedic astrology for the benefit of her numberless votaries, we are achieving another important goal; in that, ‘the demons of derision and disdain’ let loose by the rationalists are once and for all laid to rest, for these ‘demons’ are shown to arise only from an illusory misconception on the part of the rationalists as to what Vedic astrology is all about. As a result of this, cleansing of our perceptions- as to what Vedic astrology is and what it is not-the votaries of astrology become qualified for the highest level, from which, the seeking of Isvara’s grace through Vedic astrological knowledge & through the Remedial Measures becomes all the more easier as well as fruitful.
