Sun Eclipse a Sign of Evil Powers

Sun Eclipse a Sign of Evil Powers - 20 Feb 10

20 Feb 2010 Vrindavan, India

There is no sure proof of when exactly our planet and all other planets came into existence. Scientists are able to calculate and say it approximately but in the end that, too, is like a rough guess which probably comes close to the truth but nobody can say it exactly. Scientists and research may have one thesis, one calculation of how it most probably could have been.

religion however, which has its role in all parts of life and an own theory of how everything on earth works, of course also has an own interpretation about how and when this earth was created and how and when life started. Different religions will have different calculations and guesses which can vary very much from each other and again very much from what scientists say. And not only for the age of the planets, where scientists can only guess, for many natural phenomena, too, religion had and even today still has another explanation than the one proved by scientists.

In older times, when science was not as far developed as today, whenever our forefathers were not able to understand something, they related it to god, to religion, to a supreme energy, to the devil or to paranormal powers. They turned to religion for an explanation and it was usually provided.

If you see a sun eclipse for example: Hindu belief is that in the time when the sun is darkened, there are evil powers and sun and moon are in trouble. So when even sun and moon are in trouble, evil powers must be all around us and we need to take good care of ourselves. This is how in the time of a sun eclipse pregnant women and children did not leave the house. After the eclipse was over, they washed themselves and cleaned the house from all the rests of evil which might still be there.

You may have difficulties believing it but people here still do the same thing whenever there is a sun eclipse, even if it is only a penumbral one. It is funny because it is just a normal thing that happens again and again and of course science has sure proof why this happens. This constellation with the moon in between sun and earth happens regularly and is nothing mysterious but this belief still stayed. Even some well educated people stay inside, keep the children inside and are afraid. For no real reason at all. Interesting to see how big an impact old religious explanations can have.

Today our dear friend Su arrived at the Ashram after a long journey and we are very happy to have her here again.

Words of Wisdom

Scriptures

The problem in a discussion with religious people is that they do not only think their belief is the best but quote their scriptures as proof in their arguments and then get confused and can't believe it when somebody doesn't accept their quotations as the truth.

Relationship

Bonding a relation in terms like 'open', 'short term' or 'long term relationship' shows your insecurity and your doubts. It sounds like a contract. This may suit business relations but it doesn’t fit if you want to establish a relation on the physical, emotional and soul level.

Religion

Religious people who want to be modern try to find a way to combine religion and science because one can survive without religion but not without science.

Yoga

How much would Patanjali, the author of the Yoga Sutras 3000 years ago, charge you for becoming his franchisee and using his name and Sutras?
Source
Children

Beating children only creates anger as well as the thought: ‘Okay, now I am small, you are big, let me become big and then we will see!’
Source
Identity

Enjoy your uniqueness, enjoy being you!
Source
Religion

Religious make-up and getup doesn’t make a person holy.
Source
Belief

Once you go away from a belief, you will realize how liberating it is when you can take responsibility for your actions and their consequences yourself.
Source
Psychology

Don't try to control everything!
Source
Respect

Teach your children respect for others and themselves. Otherwise as adults they will start having psychic problems, don’t love themselves and don’t respect their body and feelings. Sometimes they even start hurting themselves. And there is nobody to stop them and set them limits. If they are not nice to you, why would they be nice to themselves?

Religion

The Kumbh Mela was created by war, corruption, cheating, greed and the wish for immortality.
Source
Body

Bleach your face with ‘fair and lovely’ cream, get slim and tall with pills, make your vagina fair and tight – it is not this what makes you a beautiful woman!
Source
Cheating

You did not tell your partner that you are cheating but you are trying to tell yourself that he or she would be fine with that. Anytime you do that, whenever you cheat your partner, you actually first cheat yourself with this lie.
Source
Perfectionism

Perfectionism is perfect if there is no comparison.
Source
Religion

Religion is a dictatorship with inflexible outdated laws.
Source
Positivity

If our attitude is positive, it can change everything including our way of living. If we say ‘yes’ to life, to love, to laughing, enjoying and having fun, we can change our lives.
Source
Silence

You can communicate in silence, looking into each other’s eyes and just feeling the energy. This also works as healing, it is silence therapy. Silence can cure, just try it.
Source
Religion

There is proof in the scriptures that shows that the caste system is deeply based in Hinduism. We need to change this religious belief in order to stop the caste system.
Source
Soul

Soul is energy, the life in someone, our basic element, which moves us and keeps us alive. When there is no love in a relationship, we say it is dead. When there is no business in a company we say it is dead. Whenever the basic element of something is gone, we call it dead. When our basic element is gone, we are dead. And our soul is our basic element.
Source
Feelings

Let your feelings flow. It is so simple but can be very difficult. Society taught us to suppress our feelings and tears are seen as weak. Let it flow. When you are sad, please cry. When you are happy, please laugh. Be proud of your feelings and of who you are! Let them flow and open your heart to the love that is flowing between us all.
