Meeting minutes of last weeks QNA session :-

Astrology and Effectiveness
    • Jyotiṣa does not directly cause events; it reflects patterns and correlations.
    • Outcomes are shaped by karma + situation (opportunities) + time.
    • Astrology works through observation of dynamics and patterns, not deterministic causality.
Free Will and Karma
    • Free will operates within the framework of past karma.
    • Desires and actions lead to consequences when aligned with circumstances and timing.
Philosophical Understanding
    • Space and time are relative, not absolute; objects within them carry distinct qualities.
    • Every word (mantra) is considered divine — each tradition holds its own power.
Human Potential for Sadhana
    • Human life, regardless of gender orientation, is best suited for sadhana (spiritual practice).
    • Criticism of rituals should not deter one; such comments are best ignored.
Desires and Conduct (LMN Rule)
    • Desires may be pursued if they are:
        ◦ Legal & ethical,
        ◦ Moderate in nature,
        ◦ Non-binding (not enslaving).
    • Desires should be time-bound; once that time passes, one should pivot without attachment.
