Regarding our approach to the basics of life, we all can be divided into two categories: those who believe in the existence of a higher energy and its role in the universe and those who completely rule out the existence of any abstract energy in human life. No matter which type you are, everybody accepts that there are some energies around us and within ourselves. The planets are an extremely powerful source of energy. Their positions in the sky should definitely have some effect on the earth and everything on it. Just like it is possible to decode this data for use on a daily basis, like the horoscopes we see in newspapers, it is also possible to go back to your instant of birth to see what makes you, “you”.

The energies exerted by the planets at the time of your birth indicate your main strengths and weaknesses. For example, consider the north and south nodes of the moon. The positions of these two indicate the most important lessons we will have to understand in life. While the South Node reveals the habits, weaknesses and talents we have from our birth, the North Node gives us an insight into the lessons we have to to learn and the skills we need to work out to become better people. Even if we might not seem to have certain talents, we are always capable of developing them to develop them.

Let’s have a look at the nodes of Virgo and Pisces. Those whose birth chart has Virgo in the northern node will have Pisces in the opposite South. This implies that this person was born with the inherent spiritual and intuitional qualities of the sign Pisces and has to learn how to display the worldly, practical and communicational qualities of Virgo. By instinct, such a person will always try to act according to the South node because he already has this knowledge inside. He will always enjoy the depth of spiritual understanding but will have difficulties with communication or working in a disciplined and active way in life. Nevertheless, the Great Teacher wants us to overcome all our fears and thus will all the time send such a person tests in life that will teach him to use just these qualities he is hiding within. Astrology just helps us to understand all such hidden things within ourselves and thus to find balance in life.

Of course, it is not so easy to establish new and positive traits in our character, let alone transform weaknesses into strengths. We come across the same tests again and again in life until we reach this inner balance. Our instincts always tell us to go one way while conditions in life push us in the opposite direction. We end up having to deal with a lot of hurdles in the journey of life and may eventually develop stress, tensions and thus, sickness.

The nice thing is, Shri Mataji Nirmala Devi found an easy way, which helps one to establish this inner balance without going into any extremes. No need to go to the Himalayas or renounce anything, she says, as the easiest way to achieve inner balance is through the awakening of a spiritual energy called the Kundalini. Just like our physical, emotional and spiritual inner features, we also have our Kundalini energy from birth but it lies dormant, hidden until called upon. Once awakened through the incredibly simple technique of Sahaja Yoga, it then takes care of our transformation, which happens effortlessly, spontaneously (the word Sahaja means “effortless”, “spontaneous”). Day by day you can see your own change through meditation. How? The whole job is done by the inner teacher, the loving and beautifying Kundalini energy which Shri Mataji calls one’s “very own Mother”. Your energy is unique to you and knows everything about you. If she is your mother energy, then you are the child and she will always take care of you. This is not only a spiritual but a very practical, real life experience in which your own energy points out your strong and weak points by sending signals through your central nervous system.

This is related to our energy centers, generally known as chakras, that are located in various parts of our body. Any problem in the energy centers is located by your Kundalini energy and will be fixed by it. Daily meditation enables you to balance yourself through the connection established by your Kundalini with the all pervading cosmic power. Shri Mataji calls the awakening of this energy as “self realization”, i.e. “knowing yourself”. Once you have this inner knowledge, it becomes easy to change your inner being and to establish balance in your character. For instance, a person who astrologically appears to suffer from bursts of anger in fact has a blockage in the energy flow in second energy center. Once the Kundalini energy rises she will send signals through the nervous system to show us this problem. Not only will one then be aware of it but will be able to correct it as well. After all, you can’t ignore yourself!

Both yoga and astrology – two ancient approaches to our inner being show us how energy works in our life. Yoga accepts that energy is expressed through the body while astrology reveals the hidden reasons for certain things. Ultimately, both help us to find the same things.

As spirituality is becoming more and more important in our life, curiosity is aroused over the relation of these two ancient sciences and how they can be used to improve human life. Combining the two can help to bring about deep knowledge of our being and clear out numerous energetic blockages. All of this helps us to know ourselves without judging and helps in our effort to achieve harmony between our mind-body and spirit. To learn both of them one needs a good teacher, and Shri Mataji is now accepted in the world as a spiritual master who teaches everyone wanting to learn the science of self-realization, free of cost. Through the awakening of your Kundalini energy, she helps you rise above your natural weaknesses and turn them into strengths that you can enjoy and be proud of. Numerous people have expressed how they have been able to create beautiful music or write amazing poetry after this experience. This is all thanks to the opening of the second energy center. A great number of people have been cured from inherited diseases or have expressed how some aspects of their birth charts, despite being quite dangerous, have a much milder and more positive manifestation than one would expect. self realization is also known as second birth as it is like refreshing your system in an instant! It helps you to fully enjoy the love and harmony the cosmos is waiting to offer you.
