The Magic of Colors According to Ayurveda; In the Service of Vedic Astrology


Colors have a lot of significance in our lives. The world is constantly changing. What is the force behind this change? The whole magic of change is of the colors. If the color changes the nature also changes, and along with this the mind also changes. Change in color changes everything.

The colors influence the body, mind and emotions. External things have many influences on the human being and the most influencing factor is color. According...

Vedic astrology influences a very broad spectrum of life in Indian society. It endeavors to correlate the inner spirit of a person with the higher cosmic spirit. In this way, Vedic astrology happened to be a tool of exploring the state of evolution of the spirit. This is the reason that it is regarded as 'an eye of the Vedas'. With the passage of time, Vedic astrology has been attuned to physical temporal objectives of life.

During my studies...
We would like to occasionally highlight various spiritual or charitable projects that people may find interesting. Here is one we came across recently which inspired us. There is a group of devotees who are trying to build the first Vedic temple in Mongolia. I think this is a wonderful project and hope they will be successful in establishing this temple. It is amazing to think that the Vedic teachings have spread all over the world, and today there are people even in Mongolia who are following the Bhagavad Gita and worshipping Lord Krishna. Below is a photo of some of the devotees in Mongolia. Please take the time to visit their website and if you are able to help them please do.
