This poses bigger problems for the smaller or thinner tires of bicycles and scooters, but only a mere inconvenience to the large trucks and ‘tanks’ passing over these!  However, one cannot stop a speedily moving commercial truck to ponder and explore.  In order to remain productively efficient, the gigantic vehicle must keep going, keep running, controlling such a beast of a vehicle while simultaneously enjoying the scenery can be a challenge too! </description><pubDate>Sun, 14 Mar 2021 00:00:00 -0600</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/52419/vimshopaka-vargabala-was-not-enough</guid></item><item><title>A Niche for the Study of Archaeoastronomy in Travancore</title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/50428/a-niche-for-the-study-of-archaeoastronomy-in-travancore</link><description>Archaeoastronomy is the study on how the ancient people understood and utilised various phenomena in the skies. The astronomical practices, the celestial lore, mythologies, religions and world-views of all ancient cultures that were left behind, reverberates with the roles the skies played in their cultures. Astronomical alignment of many a monument and ceremonial constructions of early civilizations, linked also with agriculture, bear testimony to this thereby combining religion with architecture.</description><pubDate>Wed, 05 Sep 2018 00:00:00 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/50428/a-niche-for-the-study-of-archaeoastronomy-in-travancore</guid></item><item><title>Reinventing the Indian (Hindu) Calendar </title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/8002/reinventing-the-indian-hindu-calendar</link><description>In the Indian calendars, the Makar Sankranti which marks the transition of the Sun into Makar Rasi (Capricorn), generally falls around 14th or 15th January of the Gregorian calendar. Makar Sankranti also marks many of the Indian harvest festivals such as the Pongal of the Tamils, the Bhogali Bihu of the Assamese, the Maghi (Lohri) of the Punabis, Bhogi in Andhra Pradesh etc. Many communities start their new years on this date. </description><pubDate>Sun, 09 Nov 2014 11:14:29 -0600</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/8002/reinventing-the-indian-hindu-calendar</guid></item><item><title>Dashas - A Primer 4 </title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/8001/dashas--a-primer-4</link><description></description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:52:55 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/8001/dashas--a-primer-4</guid></item><item><title>Dashas - A Primer - 3   </title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/8000/dashas--a-primer--3</link><description></description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:52:47 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/8000/dashas--a-primer--3</guid></item><item><title>Dashas - A Primer  2 </title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/7999/dashas--a-primer-2</link><description></description><pubDate>Sat, 13 Jul 2013 16:40:55 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/7999/dashas--a-primer-2</guid></item><item><title>For Beginners in Jyotish 2 </title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/7998/for-beginners-in-jyotish-2</link><description></description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:53:35 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/7998/for-beginners-in-jyotish-2</guid></item><item><title>Micro Astrology: The Mysteries of Time and Event</title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/7996/micro-astrology-the-mysteries-of-time-and-event</link><description>Micro astrology is that part of astrology which define shortest period of time for any human event realization, decision and action. It is a part of astrology, which very few astrologers used to practice to predict every upcoming event. The time configuration is continuous in Micro astrology. Micro astrology is the subject, which can deliberately prove the validity of astrology in terms of time analysis and not in terms of planetary influence. All the bogus claim of modern science, scientist, and so-called rationalist that astrology is a myth can be spell bound with the accuracy of micro astrology.</description><pubDate>Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:19:46 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/7996/micro-astrology-the-mysteries-of-time-and-event</guid></item><item><title></title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/6821/</link><description></description><pubDate>Sat, 07 Aug 2010 08:32:18 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/6821/</guid></item><item><title>Palmistry in Action

Moreover, in certain chronic conditions and ill-defined maladies (according to modern medical guidelines), it remains less than optimally effective, particularly on a long-term basis. Recently, all over the world, there has been a low key, almost silent resurgence of a trend for people to lean towards &#039;alternative&#039; therapeutic modalities.</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:59:09 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1085/the-astrological-signature-of-alternative-energy-healers</guid></item><item><title>The 12th House in a Horoscope
 </title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1084/the-12th-house-in-a-horoscope</link><description>I prefer to treat the planets in astrology, and their motions like the hands of a clock. The hands of the clock indicate time but do not control or &#039;effect&#039; time (nor do they affect time!). The mere fact of the hands of the clock coming together at noon is not what causes hunger in most individuals as their minds turn towards lunch, but rather that the two completely disparate activities, namely, cycle of hunger and the cycle of the clock-hands are synchronized, more or less that they coincide at lunch hour. Everybody does not eat or even feels hungry at the same time every day, though the clock regularly joins its hands at noon.</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:58:59 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1084/the-12th-house-in-a-horoscope</guid></item><item><title>Taming the Malefic Saturn

 </title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1082/some-thoughts-on-jyotish-of-today</link><description>During the development of jyotish centuries ago, life was probably simpler, more harmonious and balanced than it is now. There was perhaps less of a need to separate the spiritual aspects of life from the mundane. Earning of a livelihood did not have to be divorced from ones core values and spiritual existence. Moreover, the cultural and religious backdrop was relatively homogenous, and the scribes of jyotish texts did not feel it necessary to explicitly state what was obvious and was taken for granted in the times prevailing then .</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:58:47 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1082/some-thoughts-on-jyotish-of-today</guid></item><item><title>Science and Astrology

 </title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1080/saturn-blessings</link><description>Paradoxically, Saturn initially creates within us the faculty of discrimination, the separation, between the self and the rest of the Whole, and this may actually lead to a setting for so called saturnine lessons. When the schism is dissolved, and oneness restored, through our own efforts and attitudinal changes, the higher resonance of Saturn can be tapped into.</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:58:35 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1080/saturn-blessings</guid></item><item><title>Sade-Sati of Saturn

 </title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1078/retrograde-planets-another-perspective</link><description>Retrogression could represent an intrinsic strength in ones being or may represent an armor with cracks in it, the outcome depending upon how well the retrograde planet is connected with other factors in the chart. In the end, polemics and occasional flashes of intuitions aside, the &#039;weight-of-evidence&#039; approach is what saves the day for most astrologers. Curious as it might be, retrogression, is but a single factor or phenomenon and not the critical card moving which topples the entire structure.</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:57:43 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1078/retrograde-planets-another-perspective</guid></item><item><title>Research in Astrology:
Pondering Upon Some Issues
 </title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1077/research-in-astrologypondering-upon-some-issues</link><description>The stage is therefore set in the discipline of jyotish for research in the true literal sense of the term. Testing of principles that obviously have survived the ravages of time in a country and culture that had been repeatedly overcome and plundered by centuries of alien rule is a no brainer. This coupled with a general absence of significant indigenous efforts or resources to preserve what has survived through times, all for well-justified reasons and circumstances, does not make matters any better. This situation raises the urgency that all citizens of this world who feel drawn towards jyotish and who think that jyotish is a noble cause to be preserved must approach  .</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:57:31 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1077/research-in-astrologypondering-upon-some-issues</guid></item><item><title>Remedies in Vedic Astrology
 </title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1076/remedies-in-vedic-astrology</link><description>Most people, when they think of jyotish, the Indian system of astrology, invariably (and in my opinion mistakenly) think of temples, gongs, incense, pot-bellied priests, amulets, poojas and gemstones - all against the background of indecipherably mysterious but soothing chants. It seems that despite all the &#039;airing&#039; that has gone on over last many years and despite the increasing openness in recent years - some individuals still consider jyotish as being some kind of a cloistered and sacred closet that has a mystical aura without which it cannot exist (therein lies the myth!).</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:57:02 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1076/remedies-in-vedic-astrology</guid></item><item><title>Pisces:The sign of Mystics
 </title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1075/piscesthe-sign-of-mystics</link><description>Those with prominent Pisces have been called mystic and psychic; they have been labeled as simpletons, and they have been stereotyped as &#039;those who dwell in deep waters&#039;! They have been cruelly described as &#039;homely&#039; and even unintelligent at times, and have even been portrayed as shrewd. They have been found to be nebulous by some, with their awareness and psychic-ectoplasm hovering between realities, giving the impression that the Pisces is focused on a realm that is neither here nor there! So many diverse labels and such controversies characterize this &#039;mutable&#039; sign that forms the tail end of the zodiac.</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:56:47 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1075/piscesthe-sign-of-mystics</guid></item><item><title>Personal Planets in Vedic Astrology

Those were benign and innocent myths or even misunderstandings really, as I look back. There was not much reaction to that article from western astrologers (actually the theme was dealt with in more than one article, if I recall). But, to what I am writing today, there could be some reaction, but again I expected such reaction to my article on astro-treasures in which I questioned what was written in Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra. That would be almost akin to questioning the Bible in a Church and perhaps the Talmud in a Synagogue.

 </title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1058/how-astrology-works</link><description>We witness attempts towards explaining astrology as being based on gravitational effects or some sort of electro-magnetism. The simpler explanations utilize these energies as being directly responsible for astrological ?effects?, while the more subtle and sophisticated frameworks depend on influences being switched or triggered by some form of physical force acting by itself or through resonance or some other subtle derivative.</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:53:44 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1058/how-astrology-works</guid></item><item><title>For Beginners in Jyotish

That which is born in a given moment has the qualities inherent in (indicated by?) that moment. This is the basic premise of astrology. </description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:53:27 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1056/for-beginners-in-jyotish</guid></item><item><title>Fate or Free-Will The Ever Continuing Puzzle of Our Being! </title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1055/fate-or-free-will-the-ever-continuing-puzzle-of-our-being</link><description></description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:53:16 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1055/fate-or-free-will-the-ever-continuing-puzzle-of-our-being</guid></item><item><title>Enigma or Confusion?

 </title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1049/consciousness-in-a-horoscope</link><description>In astrology, and more specifically in Jyotish the Indian system of astrology, we lean heavily towards the central theme of karma, attributed to be the primary impetus behind births and rebirths, and responsible for our destiny and the shaping of it. One property of consciousness would seem to be in its being constantly aware of its surroundings. In other words it is interacting and communicating with its milieu all the time. Consciousness is dynamic and restless. It cannot remain resting and unperturbed for any length of time. It must rise to action; it must act and interact constantly merely to continue to exist!</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:52:00 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1049/consciousness-in-a-horoscope</guid></item><item><title>Can Signatures Affect your Destiny?

On a Never-ending Path
 </title><link>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1045/beginnings-of-journey-on-a-never-ending-path</link><description>When all is said and done and the dust settles down, in the Karmabhoomi of jyotish ultimately each jyotishi will find him/herself alone with the jaatak; and see him/herself as an oracle who must strive to look with his mind and soul deeply into a natural phenomenon between something almost tangible: the periods and cycles of astrological bodies and patterns and their mysterious and mystical linkage with the destinies of human beings in their surroundings. This is the part of jyotish that requires that one suspend anxiety and all type &#039;A&#039; behavior and apply oneself to the Saadhanaa whole heartedly. This is what leads one truly to the &#039;illuminating&#039; and glowing hall of jyotish where one journey ends so that another may begin leading one even higher towards yet another spiritual pinnacle .</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:51:47 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1045/beginnings-of-journey-on-a-never-ending-path</guid></item><item><title>Astronomical Identity of Saptha Rishi's,

Jyotish texts, are a legacy that we are grateful for - how else could we have learned astrology without having to reinvent the wheel?  However, these must not be considered immune to further examination and given the time that has passed since their creation and today, these must not be accepted as gospel or as above or beyond examination.  Particularly in their current state of incompleteness glaringly exemplified by the near total absence of illustrative material, horoscope examples, etc.</description><pubDate>Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:51:30 -0500</pubDate><guid>https://www.boloji.com/articles/1042/astro-treasures-that-have-survived-through-time</guid></item><item><title>Adhik Mas and the Blue Moon
