How Astrology Progresses: Only By Helping Others [Learn Decoding Shlokas By Sunil John]

Since 1991, I have travelled all over India, met astrologers and interacted with many international giants, and one thing I have learnt is that although cooking is my passion, I am equally as knowledgeable about it.

New chefs complain about not having the right utensils, special ingredients, or not having all the ingredients when they cook. Top chefs can make the best dishes with just 2-3 ingredients. They can make magical dishes even when they don’t have basic things like salt on hand. I’ve been cooking for 3 years and my family has never complained about salt even though they always criticize me for using too much or too little salt in every dish. After 3 years, I told my family that I don’t use salt and they were shocked.

As I have met and become acquainted with thousands of astrologers, I have realized that most of them use only basic techniques that the average super-intelligent thinking astrology student ignores or discards as ineffective. These small village astrologers know only that if their guru shows them how, it will work, regardless of statistical astrology, which will totally fail if you put in the time and thought into it.

Guru’s grace, as I have experienced hundreds of times, is to first predict and then try to find the astrological reason behind your prediction, because I trusted my Guru and moreover I loved him. It is unfortunate that today’s astrologers have multiple Gurus (the trap of 9H brings multiple results, but it is necessary to avoid not having many Gurus, having many fathers, etc. The bitter truth is that when we are young we want to learn from many Gurus, but when we become Gurus, we do not want our students to learn from many Gurus. How does this truth sound to us? Sorry for this pun). Even Swami Vimalananda, famous for his Agora, mentioned about having one Guru and one Mantra, but today’s generation does not agree with it.

It takes the grace of God and a simple mind to adopt a simple technology and make it work. A complex, intellectualized mind can never achieve it. A bhakt with pure faith loves only God and thinks of nothing else like a Raja Yogi who over-intellectualizes everything.

To the techniques posted on forums and in books, most people respond with something like this:

• It works
• It doesn’t work

But none of them think about working hard, putting in the extra effort to post graphs and explain why it works or doesn’t work, testing it with five graphs, etc. But when we want to take a vaccine, say a corona vaccine, we try to find out its effectiveness and how many tests it has undergone. This is the double dichotomy of us humans.

In a scientific environment, technology doesn’t progress unless you test it and show the results. Posting graphs of the results allows other students to learn how to use the technology and allows other scholars to develop it further.

Otherwise, what is the point in calling a Facebook forum a research forum if no research is being conducted? There is no serious testing, and most people act as silent observers, selecting for individuality or superiority, impeding further scientific progress.

Let’s take a look at two great technologies that nobody has been able to understand or decipher until now.

• If Jupiter is in the 5th House and Venus in the 5th Land then the child will be born at the age of 32 or 33.
• If 5L is in Kendra to Jupiter then child will be born at 30 or 36 years of age.

If you post this on an internet forum you’ll probably get all sorts of ridiculous answers like “it works” or “it doesn’t work”.

But if you quote the person who wrote this, everyone will shut up.

This technique is difficult to understand because it has been ignored by everyone and no one has deciphered it till date. This technique has 6-7 layers of predictions, but if you teach someone to decipher this shloka, after 4 years he will write that he is from Bhrigu Parampara.

But if I mention the name of a Rishi or say that this technology was given to me by Lord Brahma, people’s eyes will notice.

After all, nobody wants to come on social media and impart real knowledge because of the audience. People who know astrology avoid astrologers. Their energy is pathetic most of the time and most of them are either tantric or into black magic so the real gem of astrology goes to waste. I have seen astrologers with such great knowledge who never had an audience or the right kind of students and went to waste. Everyone who knows astrologers is afraid of the shlokas of Parashar Rishi and Garga Rishi that teaching astrology to cunning people will bring misfortune.

Unfortunately, in today’s social media and internet, you can’t screen your students, you swear by everything to show you are a good master etc until the student is with you and later adopt a fake identity in digital marketing to sell yourself as a super guru.

In short, share your knowledge the way it should be shared, not through shortcuts, and encourage your students to learn from each post. Show them how to be systematic with your posts.

If you just write “it works, it doesn’t work” in the comments, nobody grows, nobody learns; you’re just sitting there arrogantly. Take an hour on Sunday at least once a week to test your techniques and post your charts.

When you die, think about how much technology you have contributed systematically. Think about it this way: Think about the top 10 astrologers of the last 100 years. And think about how much technology you remember as their contribution. If the answer is no, then remember that none of them contributed systematically to astrology because they didn’t have mediums or computers. Now you do and you can make a change.
