Dear Devotee,

Anything that is contained within the Ve:das is a compilation of 
time-honored truths.  Astrology is one of the sciences discussed in the 
Ve:das, so there is no doubt that it is indeed a valid subject and should be 
respected and utilized when appropriate.

It is important to know, however, that while astrological recommendations 
through a competent expert can help as a guide, life is far too complex and 
far too vast to be able to say that this science, or anything else, can help 
us fully rid ourselves of the mix of joys and sorrows, successes and 
failures, and good and bad that inevitably come our way.

This is where we must turn to God, Sriman Na:ra:yana, because, unlike the 
forces of nature which are simply doing what they have to do,  it is He 
Alone Who is constantly seeking our best interest.  And, it is He Alone, as 
the Lord and Benefactor of this Whole Universe, Who is willing and able to 
even change the laws of nature purely for our sake.  And, He is doing so, 
even now, whether or not we are aware of it, whether or not we believe in 
Him.  To find peace, then, it merely requires us to be accepting of His 
Unconditional Love, and make this the first and foremost guide in our life.

Jai Srimannarayana!
Mohan
