Science, dark matter, Swami & astrology

I hope the post on jyotish (Bindu Chakra) are interspersed with those about other 6th (Guru) chakra matters..?!.. such as swami, metaphysics (right brain/petal), philosophies (socratic, dualistic & non-advaitic) and science (left brain/petal)

Speaking of science , apparently now (todays news) scientists are theorizing that the mysterious dark matter that makes up most of our Universe might be the cause for the expansion and contraction of the Universe. And the other day on the BBC radio there was a discussion with a leading scientist on black holes (the study of black holes was originally the work of Penrose on singularity that led to Hawkins theories of the big bang) which talked about the possibility that Universes were controlled
within big holes by the intensest (dark) matter the size of a man..!

Makes you wonder if scientists are going to realise just how powerful that dark mass of hair on His crown is...!? And I remember Swami saying in a interview I had that, "I have everything in MY hands but all I want is your Love". Great to see that the combination of quatum mechanics and astro-physics might bring science to the precipice of spirituality in realising jsut how mysterious He is, that hand is and our unique individual relationship to Him is; our Bhagavan Sri Sathya Sai Baba Narayana Sad Guru Kali Yuga Siva-Sakti Punra Avatara GOD Generation, Organisation & Destroyer of the Universe of dark matter or any matter for that matter !... what matters is our Bhakti (bit of discipline too?!) & His Supreme Shakti

Interestingly, from the point of science, I wonder how these discoveries tie in with the laws of gravity which they have been unable to reconcile with the latest quantum theories. Perhaps if dark matter controls the the expansion and contraction of the universe then does it not makes one wonder if dark matter does not have the main impact on gravitational pressure and force? So maybe as scientists understand dark matter more this will hold the key to tying in other theories with the laws of gravity into one grand theory of everything in terms of science and matter.

In earlier post about the Standard Model and a theory of everything, I shared that lord Ganesh is supposed to rule over the pranava, the universe and the laws of gravity, the base chakra. And, of the 9 main grahas of jyotish astrology he is the deity in charge of Kethu (the crown chakra and the veiling powers of the mind). And Kethu rules Scorpio who governs the kundalini energy and system residing as the coiled energy at the base (tail in the manipura) or rising to be liberated through the crown (Samadhi) like the Eagle of transcendence (its higher animal symbolism).

Scorpio is also ruled by Mars and Pluto (Western) and represents the primordial powers of transformation and the unfathonable depths and darkness of matter. People who embody a lot of Scorpionic energies are the most powerful transformers and people. They either attract or repel but are usually very dark and have a powerful intensity, magnetism and power for creation (expansion) or destruction (contraction).

Capricorn is the sign associated with Saturn and the base chakra too and therefore, indirectly with Ganesh. This sign seems to be the law and discipline by which such energy is controlled ie. at the base, such that it is not unleashed destructively and may explain why Ganesh (controller) rules over Kethu (kundalini and dark scorpionic matter from the unmanifest SELF becoming the cosmos through teh central mass of Ganesh - gravitational force controlling dark matter around/from black holes?).Interestingly, Kethu also rules over the number 9 - the number of brahama or space ie. cosmic.

These two signs (Scorpio and Capricorn) are very prominent in Swami's chart.

Even though I know the Avatar transcends any limitation, Swami also acknowledges he dones the human role and expresses Himself in limitation and the chart still can show His role and expression in manifestation as an Incarnation. That is why in the Vishnu Puranas the 10 incarnations of Narayana are given various attribute relating to the requirements of their mission and sourjourn on earth.

Thus, the 9 grahas correspond progressively from Kethu (Fish), Rahu (Boar) Saturn (Turtle), Jupiter (Vamana), Mars (Narasimha) Venus (Pasurama) Sun (Rama of the Solar dynasty), Moon (Krishna of the lunar dynasty), Mercury (Buddha = Buddhi = Intellect), to now Kalki (Sai Baba who embodies all 9 aspects in one). Anyway, I think I will describe Swami's chart in the next post to use His cahrt to entice you into learning more about astrology..!?
