At the threshold
of twentieth century most of the Indians are plunging their lives for the sake
of having conception of the supreme soul, Brahman or God, That there is an
infinite being above this cosmos or universe is realised by the people. It is
believed that God has created this world according to his discretion. People
enjoys the worldly things due to Maya. Whenever an analysis is made for an
individual, it is observed that a the eleventh hour of daily life, man performs
the religious activities. That is during old age human being becomes religious
minded.
Philosophical
conception will reveal the fact that the existence of God is realized by the
rationalistic school of philosophy and denied by the imperial school of
philosophy. Notable rationalistic philosophers are Descrates, Spinoza,
Leibnitz, Shankara and Ramanuja, whereas eminent empiricstic philosophers are
Bacon, Berkeley, Hume, Kant & Hegel etc. Rationalists are the opinion that
the God exists in the thinking world. That is by means of thinking, a man can
realize the existence of God. Reason is the important point in this matter. On
the other hand, imperial philosophers are of the view that as no one can see
the God in this world the existence can not be recognized. Inducing Indian
philosophical thinker, Shankara is of the view that Brahman or God is the
infinite, supreme and transcendental lord who is the creator of this world.
Ramanuja pointed out that we have to admit the existence of God and the world.
His conception is similar with western philosophical thinkers, Descartes.
Shankara’s view tallies with spinoza’s monism.
In the practical
life, it is observed that when man does not get any help by means of treatment
practically, comes to the temple or religious places to have blessings of the
God. In the Rasi Chart, ninth house is dealt with the idea of religion/fate
etc. From the lagna or ascendant in a natal chart, fifth house is concerned
within the human mind. In predictive astrology, it is noticed that lord of
ninth house, planet posited in ninth house and the sub-sub/sub lord of the
ninth house are the indicators whether the man/woman will be religious minded
or not. Pilgrimage is analysed from the twelfth house of the chart.
Religious
inclination will be assessed on seeing the religious planet, devaguru, Jupiter
or Saturn (pravajya karaka) either in fifth or in ninth house. That is trine
aspect of the planet is to be analysed. An observation reveals the basic fact
that most of the youngsters had no intention or realization about faith in God.
Nastikabhava predominates their mind. That there is an occult power is to be
admitted by everybody. Cosmic power is such a power which can be inherited by
the human beings. The word cosmic is derived from the Latin word “cosmos” which
etymologically means the universe or world. So cosmic power which is related to
the universe. It may be pointed out that if this power can not be obtain by
human being, then who will have it? It is clearly enunciated both in Indian
& Western philosophy that there is the supreme being who is having the
cosmic power.
