Full moon will enter Taurus on November 2, 2009 at 2:15pm EST, 5:15 PSt and 11:15 GMT Please do not phone for an in-depth reading on your self between November 11-12, since it is never advisable to have a reading done during a waxing moon. When the Moon is full, the gravitational pull between the Moon on one side of the earth and the Sun on the other has a great affect on our own bodily water levels, as well as the earth's. You may or may not notice the effect (depending on how powerful the Moon is in your Astrological chart), but there is no doubt that this energy creates an inner pull, fullness - and may help us to connect psychically with others. Everything becomes clearer and more intense under the light of the Full Moon - emotions and egos can become quite inflated, and we may have more awareness and focus on relationships.
You may also feel energized by the light of the Moon and have more luminous dreams. Bleeding and hemorrhaging are more likely during a Full Moon, so take care. This is the time to Harvest, Pray and be Thankful, and to work on fertility and prosperity. Love and Romance go wild under a Full Moon, especially around midnight. In a full moon you may become highly objective, clear minded and aware of your own needs and the needs of others. UNDER THIS FULL MOON, ENERGIES ARE GEARED TO THE MENTAL REALM. Traditionally, the early Europeans knew this FULL MOON as the WORT MOON. Plants and herbs were harvested and dried as the richness of the first harvest was realized. In Native Lore, this Full Moon was known as the MOON OF RIPENING BERRIES. As ripe berries were gathered and used for paints, dyes and as a source of Vitamin C. Health and creativity are emphasized and there is a sense of well being and drama to this lunation.
You may also seek the company of friends for emotional fulfillment. You nurture others by appreciating their genius and accepting their eccentricities. The Moon in Taurus ushers in a time of caution and practicality. People may feel more conservative and stable. This is a good time to continue or to finish projects that have already been started, as people may be more dependable and thorough. Like the stubborn Bull representative of Taurus, people may be bull-headed -- unwilling to compromise and argumentative. Care needs to be taken to avoid self-indulgence and excessive concern or desire for material possessions.
Since, moon in Taurus represents Relaxed, Practical, Sensual, Patient, and Stubborn. We must use the practical senses. Whatever your sign and wherever Taurus is placed in your Natal Chart, this moment of renewed alignment between your sense of personal direction and your sense of emotional commitment marks the place where stability is important to you. Here is where you want things to be predictable, harmonious, and pleasant -- and where resources, both financial and in terms of personal relationships, are applied and exchanged.
The Moon transiting Taurus gives us a very different feeling. Moon in Taurus is inclined towards content, patience, caution, and conservation. This is a good time to take a retreat or to schedule a lazy day of rest and sensual enjoyment. It's a time to get into your physical senses and to enjoy the physical world around you through your senses. It is also a good time for ecological or conservation efforts. The theme note seems to be stability and holding fast.
This is not the time to clean out closets and drawers. You'll want to keep everything. You may also choose to recite a mantra every morning until the next moon cycle. Remember that with all applications of psalms and mantras achieving the desired result is depended upon the quality of intention, and when it comes to finding a satisfying relationships and success, it is of the greatest importance to begin with a clear understanding of what your goal should be. The mantras can be hard to pronounce for many but it is a powerful source of energy the mantra for Taurus moon is:
Om Sri shukraya Namaha (om Shri Shu Kra Ya Nama Ha)
Remember the 12 aspirations. Don’t forget to cross the ones you have already accomplished and make new ones. Don’t forget to manifest matters concerning materialistic things at this time. And most of all don’t forget to light a white candle that day carve your name on the candle anoint the candle with Frankincense oil and chant Psalm 65 three times. Namaste and God Bless

Though many may often consider that education is just a tool to getting a job or finding a place in society of honors, however education is much more than sitting in a classroom, reading history books, taking tests and simulating exercise. Someone once told me that education is about reasoning, it’s about transition and transgression it’s about metamorphisms of discipline and respect.
In a philosophical world one can assume that skills are innate and some can assume that the position that we hold in society are already predestined however, as human we are often influenced by negatives as well as positives. These elements are the ground work of our success. The seven disciplines in education were created for the very purpose of success. Most Universities or class room settings such as high school or even grade school wants every student to succeed in their goals. By assisting each student’s life to be well rounded by helping each student discover history, capability to use mathematics, use critical thinking, value structure, morality, ethics, enhance personal growth and self worth through fostering a concept of vocational identity, decipline and structure. And they sometimes suceeed and sometimes fail, but often knowing they tried is a triumph through trial and tribulation.
Yes, there as been many people in society question why we need education when some of the world wealthiest people never went to school. The failure to understand is that those that are uneducated and who are wealthy need educated people to guide them into society so that they can also flourish by learning the skills which are passed on by educated people. This kind of history only happens when we have either perfected our skills or open venues or understanding, theorizing, conceptualizing and enhancing what we know and what we will discover.
The concept of education in the university or vocational level depends upon the degree one holds as we continue to transform and allow growth through disciplines. Though education is a element of discipline is created to understand , ethics, and honors and importance of it. Education thus bringing a transformation where we are no longer bring volatile situations in our lives or stern away from it because we learn to reason, theorize and conceptualize the mind before making harsh decisions which almost always have negative contemplation.
Education is not just about learning it is about acquiring the skills needed to bring forth a placement of talents and knowledge which one applies on a daily basis. It is also about acquiring the skill through AS degree, brining life to the skill through BA degree, and mastering the skills through a Masters degree. Additionally the doctored skill can be passed down to generation to generation to make history which allows other scholars to learn from which you once perfected. Therefore, education created to learn about the past it is created to make history to perfect the future.
If we take one moment of our time and educate our selves even through just a simple yoga class or even going back to school we open avenues of new people, new places and open our minds to dreams and goals which we once thought were impossible and always attracting those with similar minds to bring harmony back into our lives.
Learn something new today.. you will discover the wow in your life and share that wow with friends and always remember when one door closes another opens in a beautiful way.

What is love..
There are so many times people ask if a person that they love, love them back. This so difficult to answer because often times love is molded into what one perceives as love not necessary the same in everyone’s eye. For example a mother many love her child like anything in the world but may have Munchausen by Proxy Syndrome, this does not mean they do not love their child it is that they are sick. Love is psychological it is a feeling often times these feelings can be very over powering in the negative sense and often times in a positive sense.
Both of the negative and positive feelings can be venom to a relationship. The negative feelings which are often over powered with venerability are a derivative of negative actions which could manifest it self into jealousy, insecurities, need for power as well as vulgarity. This does not mean the other person does not love them it just means that they are often afraid of loosing them selves or feel weak in the relationship in those substantial areas which create healthy relationship such as trust, stability, respect and honor is lacking within themselves. Often times these are due to past issues when has no bearing on the other person actions.
As human beings we all have a tendencies of jealousy, insecurities, and need for power in one time in our lives if we did not have them we can not look at our selves in the mirror and change them and better ourselves. It is how we display them and how it could affect our relationship. These are self image issues and often when we can not deal with them we try to find things that are really not there. One of my caller said to me in a reading “but why is he acting so mean? I was just looking to see if any females were emailing him by hacking into his email and I just followed him a few times because I want to be sure that he was not doing anything.” I hesitated in my reply only because I could see with red flags where this relationship was going but I can not judge. And I asked her a simple question which may have thrown her off, “let’s say that you did find something. Let’s say that he followed you and he hacked into your email. In both instances I want you to find the balances, respect, honor and stability” I made sure she did not answer me but to go within her self and find the answer. And before we disconnected I specifically told her if you do not find the balance it is not necessary your fault it may be that you may need to take a deeper look if you are being fair to either one of you if not let your action speak and ask your self how much are you willing to give up for love?
In society we are always geared towards people with positive energy or those that bring love and honesty into our lives and we all have a tendency to keep those types of people under any condition. If we are vulnerable and going through a difficult time we are naturally going to hold on to those who give us solace, respect, peace and happiness. But at what price? At a vulnerable state we often mistaken kind gestures to love or want to take the “friendship” to the next level only to find our selves being embarrassed or hurt when the other person is just being nice.
The million dollar question is what is love? Love is a feeling. Love is changeable. Love is environmental. Love is misunderstood. Love is independent. Love is self centered yet giving. Love is sacrificial but most of all love should be unconditional.
The only way one can really understand love is often that we have to do an inventory of ourselves. In my teachings I often recommend to my clients have a sheet of paper out and create two columns, fold it in half so that you do not see the other side. Make a list of 20 things which you expect out of your potential or your mate. Leaving out financial and physical attribute because these are changeable through financial gains or medical improvements, remember love is about sacrifices and expectations everyone has them. It can be things like; I want to laugh with him. I want to travel with him. Etc. These are almost your wants but be sure to include I do not want him to be jealous or things that may have irritated you in the past. This process could take some time because remember these are things that are important to you. Honesty is the best policy and no one will see this but you.
After having to make a list of things which you expect out of your mate now it is your turn. Flip the paper make a list of things you are willing to change ( it is usually things you know that you need to change to have a healthy relationship). You can derive these things by looking at your past relationship and seeing what others may have pointed out to you and you have agreed that has caused problems. Remember 20 things and once again honesty is the best policy.
This type of exercise is very important because it allows self reflection and also helps you attract those that will bring you a healthy long lasting relationship if you notice many of these things you are about to write are displayed on many dating websites. Why? It allows self evaluation. Once you have completed the form you are once again going to do self evaluation. You will come to realize that perhaps asking for 20 things is a little too much and that some of the things you expect out of another is a little unrealistic as well as 20 things for your self. This happens and it’s a good thing, because in a healthy relationship if you expect too much out of your partner than there is no individuality rather you want them to be a puppet in your relationship and if you give up too much this means you will be in a co-dependent relationship where you loose your self in the relationship. Therefore, you will end up with 10 things on each side and now is time to compare. Whether you are with someone or about to meet someone or are dating someone check your list and see if that those traits are applicable in your relationship if not the question is are settling for less because A. You do not wish to be alone, B. It’s hard to start over with someone else C. Perhaps the other person will change in time. These are all very good excuses to stay in an unhealthy relationship.
Using your judgment and intuition and taking an outside approach is always the best. Love is absolutely unconditional and love can have expectation but not unrealistic expectations. You will meet many people, and you will love many as well but to what price and your energy, expectation and how well you carry your self is the type of people one attracts. So the question is what is love?
The million dollar answer is love is defined by the individual based upon their actions and their world view of life. The definition of love is in the present (how you feel, secure/insecure, happy/unhappy etc). Love lives in the past (how you interacted with others and how you have been treated). Love is in the future (how much and how far are you willing to wait or understand whom and how to love). Love is ultimate sacrifice and a beautiful union. Love never greedy but giving and most of all love has no conditions love is just love a feeling which overwhelms all of us at one time in our lives. And how much you love your self reflects how much you are willing to love others and how much you are willing to let go with love.
- I hope you take the time to do self inventory and know that even though I am NOT in love with you.. I do love you** J
Hope to hear from you on my Monday night show with Strawbreeze Tarot.
Wow! April has been one of those months, especially with all the Venus, Uranus and Pluto activities. Again, I apologize for not being on top of writing a blog every month which I have promised for most of you. It has been a quite a hectic month for me as well. But I hope this will make up for all those times you were not able to get hold of me or to read anything that will give you a little bit of boost to keep you going with intrigue and passion.
I am going to go backwards in time since this was meant to be posted in April. With Venus and Pluto squares often times it means when is a time to love and what needs to be given up especially when do we need to let go of a relationship which is toxic in so many ways.
I am not a expert in love and I can only share with you the experiences and teachings of the Gita and those people who have taught me to love or often even direct me to love however, there is a difference between toxic love and a obsession of wanting someone. I have read many books on love and everyone has their own say so on what is a healthy relationship but it must be taken into consideration healthy is a self reflection.
The most important parts of healthy relationships are what I will touch upon and expand from now until the end of the year. Following are the idioms which cause most relationships to become dysfunctional and toxic and these are the very same ones that we often use and we do not even realize that we are doing it.
- Reinforcing Codependency- you may say things such as, “he/she is not the person I want but they will change”, “if he/she would only stop doing… (including affairs) we would be happy and lastly “I would really be a wonderful person if I was in a relationship” all these are signs of co-dependency. I reinforce this through my teachings and learning’s and experiences which I even catch my self from doing and retract before the signs appear.
- Bury the past- If you have broken up with a lover often times we hold on to their things or their belongings and wait until upon their return but when it happens we bring up issues of the past which create a fire in a volcano ready to explode. Either you must be ready to bury the past upon a lover return or prepare for a ceremony. Yes, ceremony either you send everything back to your ex or I mean everything not leaving any signs of him/her or burn it if they do not want it. By releasing it you are releasing negativity into the universe and saying to your self you are not going to tolerate this person in your life again. But remember when you do this there are ramification which I will speak more about in time.
- Love your self- One way you can share your love with someone is to love your self. There are 5 words that must be taken away from your love language which is “always”, “never”, “could have” and “would have” these are direct words that are never consistent and often point to ones self. By loving your self you are not placing another on a pedestal yet allowing faith to be positioned in your life. One of the most important aspect of loving your self is ask for help but don’t expect your problems to be resolved, and always remember your lover is NOT your venting machine and you must remember that there are issues you can solve your self which will lift the burdens and pressures off your partner to resolve them for you and giving you both time to enjoy each other instead of having drama.
- Release your patterns of the past- It is apparent that the things you had done in past relationships are NOT working therefore, this is why you are where you are and that means change the pattern. If you are always the one to apologize when there is a argument between you and your significant, then perhaps practice affirmative statements such as “When you do this… I feel this.. because of this (do NOT bring past relationship or anything) this should be how something affects you.
- Define your boundaries- This is a biggy! Often time people come to me and state that the other person is being really controlling etc. Well this is because boundaries are not clearly discussed before a relationship begins of course as time passes within the relationship boundaries will be restructured and we will have more than one boundary, however before you set the boundaries you must set your self in check. DO NOT ignore your feelings, DO NOT justify your actions because you feel the way you do and most of all IT IS not ok for someone to hurt you.
There are 5 more aspect to smart love and I will discuss them after I have elaborated on those given above. Please remember I am NOT a psychologist but just a person who is brought up on a spiritual inclination of peace and love and unconditional love comes from self autonomy and if we loose that than we obsess over things and actions which drain us spiritually, emotionally and lead to physical decline.
Next month which actually this month I will elaborate on how do disengage in “reinforcing co dependency” so that you can be in a healthy, loving nurturing relationship by using smart love tactics and purified spirituality.

The festival of Mahashivratri is a very meaningful and respected festival for most Hindus it known as a “Grand night dedicated for the worship of Lord Shiva”, it is also considered the longest and the darkest night of the month when Shiva and Parvati married. It is also about creation and destruction.
Lord Shiva is also known as a Lord of Ego so that even after achieving all that was difficult in ones life our mind should not distress by egotism.
I only focus upon this event to reflect back on the Month of February from Mercury retrograding, the solar and lunar eclipses, and many other aspects that made us very resistant, angry, volatile, resentful, rude and cruel to those that mattered to us. Some people may have lost very dear friends because of their assumption and issues going on in their own lives. If there was chaos in your life in February and you were not focused upon spiritual inclination, then this aspect was crucial and very damaging to relationships of all kinds.
Within in every relationship there elements which are vital to sustaining and stabilizing a vital part of the miracles of knowing that some one cares, however, disrespect and face can kill a relationship in seconds where it took years to build.
First lets look at Face, I do not mean face as in a face of a persons body but then it is just that how we perceive ourselves and how others perceive us. There are many books written on the concept of face. Defining face is very difficult to do even though there are plenty of dictionaries that can simplify the meaning but in the concept of philosophies “face” is also known as respect.
Respect has killed many relationships. Though as humans we have been given the ability to feel, speak and take actions sometimes when we are angry because someone that we care for has not given us respect or has gone against our ethical standards we lash out and sometimes we suppress. This could only mean that there are two dilemmas that could occur during anger either that we lash out this can kill a relationship where the other person may never speak to you again and after a week or two you may feel guilty that you did it. The second dilemma is suppression eventually we all know that suppression will create a bomb that will eventually blow open and that lashing out will turn into a heated battle of the wits and there is no going back.
Shiva, the lord of Destruction and peace said to his people talk I have given you an ability to talk and don’t be afraid, as long as you are honest you know that you have no need to suppress, insult or disrespect. Humanity is cultivated in love and we must cultivate this with truth and respect.
So whether you are in a romantic relationship that is going in a direction that you are finding difficult to handle or having just a misunderstanding among friends, talk! The person on the other side will respect you more for being honest instead of ignoring them or playing games because you felt disrespected.
March brings beautiful things such as spring equinox. Open your heart and talk, respect and most of all be honest no matter how difficult it may be because disrespecting or fear will not heal any relationship rather it will create chaos of a kind which hurtful and perhaps you will loose that friendship forever.
So this month be honest with your self, respect your self, and perceive a positive face thus pouring the same on to another. Fear not honesty fear the anger fear not the face fear the disrespect fear not the love fear lies and most of all fear not the truth fear that you will always be human.

How complex we are
Often times, I have clients ask me as to why I do not do Yes or No questions. Though, it is difficult for me to explain the Indian ideology, I feel the urge to be theoretical.
Indian ideology is in a very high context level where as we are people of less words and more actions. We always take into consideration the thoughts of others and how others view us in a cultural prospective. Family face and social respect is highly important to every Hindu, and often times they are seen as sacrificing their own desires for the responsibilities and moral obligation to society. Thus there more gray attached to our culture.
In example of the psychic world when asking a reader, “will we reunite?” One must be look deeper and ask the question to them selves, “if we do for how long will we stay together?” These answers are very complex in the spiritual world. There are no Yes or NO because spirituality is NOT a fixed and it is very complex. There are casual issues make the clearest answers complex. Many readers will give you a percentage chance of reunion or they will simply say yes or no and rounding to the most valuable instrument. If a reader seeks counsel with an advisor and there is negative aura, the answer will be their NO, based upon the energy level. This will most likely force you to seek other advisors because it is not what you wanted to hear, or it may be yes, because it is what you would like to happen. This energy of wants and needs creates chaos in ones mind and often time it affects every part of our self autonomy. This being instrument of destruction.
On a hypothetical note let’s say the answer is yes you will reunite. This will eventually lead to more queries such as, “how can this be possible since were not even talking?” or “he/she is with someone else, how will change?” Thus readers go into deeper level of question. This would eventually prolong the readings. Hence a simple yes or no question has now been progressed into more complex gray matters of question.
In the event the answer is NO. Once again the question of why will recede into more complex situation. Often leaving the client in despair and self esteem, and self autonomy becomes an obsession. The more rejection the client receives the more the self ego needs pampering thus looking for an advisor who will make them feel good (temporarily). Usually with hope and compassion as a mother would to a child to say everything will be alright. When the simple answer to it is it all depends on your actions.
Life is not a Yes or NO or either you do or your don’t. It is about what is the cause and affect and what will happen over time and what is really going on which is the answer to every question. For example the sky is not always blue there for when someone ask is the sky blue, in one persons perspective the it is a shade of blue but it has a hint of violet so its really not blue but it is in the family of blue colors. In the same prospective, whether you are buying or selling a home or trying to pass the exam. There is again no Yes or NO, if you buy a house yes it can be possible that you can purchase it but under what conditions and will you be able to afford it in the future. In the case of an exam, will you pass it? It all depends right now what you have all the hard work you put into it, but since space and time are flexible, what if you go to the exam and you forget everything. Thus the reading becomes null and void.
In conclusion remember no real reading can be done in one minute or 5 minutes always remember that there are no use or no question and to find the best advisor seek out those who are willing to answer open ended question. Giving you every option available to seek your own answers within your self. We all have been given intuition this to the Indian community is your own physic. Don’t loose your self in the answer gain something in gray matters.
Ask complex question and let the readers lead the way to your reading if there are too many pauses this can on create uncertainties. Look for the gray areas and understand you can not change anyone you can only change you in how you perceive things. Readers are not always going to give you what you want they are going to give you what they see. If you go into a reading negatively you will have a negative reading however, if you seek counsel with an objective point of view rather than subjective you will receive a reading better than you had anticipated and even the most complex questions can be answered.
In conclusion there are no real yes or no answers such as time and space is never consistent it is always drawn into flexibility the only consistency we have is that we must place the higher power which brings us faith before any other human being and you being second.
As February enters please be cautious in driving or signing contract mercury is retrograding and things may slow down and the two eclipses may not be easy for many of us.

Most people who know a little about astrology know that Mars represents male energy and which in turn focuses on issues of legal, education, authority anything that focuses upon power and success. Where as in Venus usually represent feminine energy such as love, communication, compassion, friendship etc.
As I have been sending out information since December Mars is retrograde until January 30, 2008, and I think it’s a great time to discuss Mars, which to me are MEN. Being a keen speaker since 2002, I have come across many people from different cultures, religion, and diverse background and even though 70% of my clientele are women I do have 30% men. Surprisingly, they seem to have many of the same issues hence looking at it in a different prospective.
Somewhere I read that women mature much faster than men ok being women perhaps I tend to believe that since I have studied feminist philosophy for a long time, however, I believe that men and women have the same emotions but different way of showing it.
Today, I was listening to a radio talk show in my area and they were discussing how some women have ruined their holidays with their men and after careful thought they have come to realize that perhaps they expected too much but their pride won’t let them apologize to make things better. Intern the host said, why is that these things do not happen to mature women? And the other responded by saying, “because mature women know when they have a good man, and if you want pretty Ricky will only allure women who are immature and whom they can control.” Of course, I began to laugh and decided to share that with my partner, and his answer was, “what’s so funny about that?” This opened a rhetorical debate and forced me to write this.
Please remember this is not meant to bash women or justify men’s actions but giving us women a prospective to look through similar glasses as men and help us understand why women and may think differently or do they?
To begin I must start with the concept that most people idealize that “it’s a mans world.” I say not but ok, let’s agree for a moment. The accepted mythology of our diverse life tells us that men are independent whereas women are dependent, men dominate whereas women yield, and men make history whereas women are the support. You know, “behind every great man there is a women.” Some men never break free from this paradox and women some women also. Being a mother of two wonderful boys I teach them the opposite not to idealize anyone but the higher power and whatever a man can do I can do even better, and by proving and failing too. This is because even though we are so very different there are something’s that women can not do and I am accepting of that life to me is not a competition of whom is better or who is not it is about equality.
Whether men are gay or straight, hard or soft, wild or vulnerable, feelingful or thoughtful these are all secondary concern to them. When men’s center anxieties about masculinity on satisfying the women (I wont go into jest of this), on making money on accumulating power or even on exploring their feminine sides they trivialize manhood. Men spend most of their lives in being extroverted actions first turn inwards towards the unknown territory of the soul; they reach the desert the vast of nothingness. Before rebirth can come the painful awareness becomes the shadow that they are dead and before that they become numb. Whereas, women may see rebirth differently and respectfully as compared to men.
Bona fide love is a dance with three movements as author Sam Keen explores:
- solo.
- counterpoint
- coming together.
It embraces solitude, conflict and intimacy even leaving one out will create conflict and it will destroy the relationship. In any relationship people should able to stand alone, together and respect the struggle with each other and rejoice their interdependence.
Men do need their space as much as women need affection. Men do need to earn as much as women need a family. Men do want to be mocho as women want to be mothers.
So I say to the universe, bring Mars on and I will embrace it with love and joy and let every women understand while we feel our men are callus, cold or even detach it is just our perception when we take a trip to the spa or a saloon. Let him have his own time and grab yours because I can tell you when he comes back from that so called “football game or night out with the guys” it will be more gratifying than“when you are pampering your self and looking so fine” it will blow his mind and beside you will feel much better than he does anyways.
And guys have loads of fun we respect your manhood and let the girls go out and enjoy talking about how wonderful her man is.
I hope you all had a smile about this if you want to know more about man hood I would really suggest reading a book by Sam Keen called, “Fire in the Belly On Being A Man” it is awesome!

Is love Universal?
What is love?
Often times I have many clients ask me the question “Does he love me?” I always hesitate to answer and sometimes I become very rhetorical when answering such a complex question.
Being born in India we do not take love very lightly, however, I have noticed that in the United States, I have heard guys say to their buddies, “I love you man” or women say to their girlfriends “ I love you” and the next time they have a argument, its “I hate you!”
In the Hindu culture love is never universal except for the love of God. Each one of us loves differently and it instilled in us through our own grassroots i.e. parents, caregivers, teachers, grandparents and distant relatives as well.
According to the scriptures of the Gita there they define many kinds of love.
- Unconditional love- Love of God and a love of a child to his mother(this is also when we feel our parents do not love us we still love them – as we should) it is not only written in the Gita but in the Christian Bible (“love thy parent)
- This kind of love is the purest love of them all and all humans should love this way. This kind of love has no expectations, only forgiveness and respect.
- Loving someone one- This is a love of sibling, or distant relative. Though they often do things to hurt you and sometimes disappear out of our lives only to return because you have the blood line (Krishna & Aruna) and the western ideology it states “blood is thicker than water”. Though this kind of love has conditions and expectations, this love is based upon the moral ethics within the grassroots of family. Family expectations, morality and respect.
- Being in Love- This would be a love of two romantic partners of opposite sex or the same sex depending upon the orientation. This is what we call in the Gita a honeymoon stage. It’s all nice and wonderful. Until we start to see if this person is really an image of us and it can either die away or remain constant which is levitate to #2 description of love.
- Love with lust- In the Gita lust is a negative conjugation it become an evil sense of conditions, expectation, co dependency, and obsession. Many of us mistake this for love. Our emotions often run high in this kind of love so much so that we place the other person in front of our own needs and therefore interference of the Universal God condones idealism. When the other person becomes so enriched in our lives that we stop our lives for them. (Like the movie fatal attraction). This often leads to insecurities and we invade our partner’s privacy, follow them, tap their phone and often times we are not honest in our feelings.
- Lastly, there is puppy love- This often an infatuation built within a short period of time. This kind of love would be found in young children’s image of love. But in adults we often believe that one night stand now becomes our obsessions and we do not look at things realistically. Meeting a person only one time and think that something will be started etc.
- I had a women call me once and she had a one night stand while she was traveling between Chicago and New York and with a heavy storm many passengers were given vouchers to hotel accommodations. With the storm almost every hotel room was booked but there was one room left. After a great deal of thought she asked one of male passengers if would like to share the room for the night. Of course one thing leads to another and they ended up sleeping together. Not knowing his name or where he lived or even his telephone number she kept asking if he will ever contact her again. Reminding you both of them did not know each others name. She became so obsessed that she later told me she spend thousand of dollars with many people and 3 years of her precious time obsessing over only to discovered what I said was correct. You may never find him because Airlines can not give you information. And she has never found him to this day. But the important lesson in this was that it was purely lust. Love does not develop in bed or in one date it develops over time.
Love is never universal because we all define it differently. To me what real love would be different than what you may consider love. Though in love we all have expectation, however, love is not an obsession, love does not demean your character, love does not betray, love is never to be rushed. Love happens to all of us and it has to all of us.
So when you ask a speaker, “does he love me?” perhaps you might want to restructure the question by asking, “is he capable of loving me as I need to be loved” always remember there is no black and white in this question. That means there is NO real YES or NO, it is more complex so if you get a YES, you can estimate that it was a guess however, if the question is asked to a good reader they should describe either how he/she sees you as or what he/she can give to you.
May this help you through your many days of discovery so that you can define love in your own way and love the way you want to be loved

What is love?
Often times I have many clients ask me the question “Does he love me?” I always hesitate to answer and sometimes I become very rhetorical when answering such a complex question.
Being born in India we do not take love very lightly, however, I have noticed that in the United States, I have heard guys say to their buddies, “I love you man” or women say to their girlfriends “ I love you” and the next time they have a argument, its “I hate you!”
In the Hindu culture love is never universal except for the love of God. Each one of us loves differently and it instilled in us through our own grassroots i.e. parents, caregivers, teachers, grandparents and distant relatives as well.
According to the scriptures of the Gita there they define many kinds of love.
- Unconditional love- Love of God and a love of a child to his mother(this is also when we feel our parents do not love us we still love them – as we should) it is not only written in the Gita but in the Christian Bible (“love thy parent)
- This kind of love is the purest love of them all and all humans should love this way. This kind of love has no expectations, only forgiveness and respect.
- Loving someone one- This is a love of sibling, or distant relative. Though they often do things to hurt you and sometimes disappear out of our lives only to return because you have the blood line (Krishna & Aruna) and the western ideology it states “blood is thicker than water”. Though this kind of love has conditions and expectations, this love is based upon the moral ethics within the grassroots of family. Family expectations, morality and respect.
- Being in Love- This would be a love of two romantic partners of opposite sex or the same sex depending upon the orientation. This is what we call in the Gita a honeymoon stage. It’s all nice and wonderful. Until we start to see if this person is really an image of us and it can either die away or remain constant which is levitate to #2 description of love.
- Love with lust- In the Gita lust is a negative conjugation it become an evil sense of conditions, expectation, co dependency, and obsession. Many of us mistake this for love. Our emotions often run high in this kind of love so much so that we place the other person in front of our own needs and therefore interference of the Universal God condones idealism. When the other person becomes so enriched in our lives that we stop our lives for them. (Like the movie fatal attraction). This often leads to insecurities and we invade our partner’s privacy, follow them, tap their phone and often times we are not honest in our feelings.
- Lastly, there is puppy love- This often an infatuation built within a short period of time. This kind of love would be found in young children’s image of love. But in adults we often believe that one night stand now becomes our obsessions and we do not look at things realistically. Meeting a person only one time and think that something will be started etc.
- I had a women call me once and she had a one night stand while she was traveling between Chicago and New York and with a heavy storm many passengers were given vouchers to hotel accommodations. With the storm almost every hotel room was booked but there was one room left. After a great deal of thought she asked one of male passengers if would like to share the room for the night. Of course one thing leads to another and they ended up sleeping together. Not knowing his name or where he lived or even his telephone number she kept asking if he will ever contact her again. Reminding you both of them did not know each others name. She became so obsessed that she later told me she spend thousand of dollars with many people and 3 years of her precious time obsessing over only to discovered what I said was correct. You may never find him because Airlines can not give you information. And she has never found him to this day. But the important lesson in this was that it was purely lust. Love does not develop in bed or in one date it develops over time.
