" Caring is a reflex.

Someone slips, your arm goes out.

A car is in the ditch, you join the others and push.

You live, you help. " ~ Ram Dass

" The spiritual journey is individual, highly personal.

It can’ t be organized or regulated.

It isn’ t true that everybody should follow one path.

Listen to your own truth."

Masculine Public-Figure Examples

Punarvasu-Aditya

Purnavasi - Vutvrta - Jamitra

BPL COMMENTARY

For Punarvasu births of a masculine valence, the condition of prosperous, preaching, inclusive, broad-scope, philosophical, humanistic Guru may considerably affect the outcome.

Masculine births under auspice of Puna, Viśākha, or Purvabhadra may find that their worldview is greatly shaped by the character of priestly teachers and guides.

For those born into the Guru-ruled paradigm of Jamitra, teachers, preachers, professors, patrons, agents of generosity and guidance, guru-figures, ideologues, indoctrinators, theorists, know-it-alls, proselytes, philosophers, pontificators, patriarchs, pundits, pater-nosters, proponents of principled understanding, wise-ones, wizards, druids, and paradigms of belief may be especially influential.

Guidance is provided by emissaries from the realm of the Twin Gardeners called Castor-and-Pollux. Their purpose is restoration, renewal, and rehabilitation of lost knowledge.

High forehead. Punarvasu often has a global perspective. The majority of Aditya-born nativities are higher dimensional Seva-wanderers who assume interpretive guidance roles.

Instructing, Explaining, Describing

[Mithuna - Dvamdva] pada 1-2-3 represents Guru's rulership of 7-agreements ++ 10- leadership, while also expressing the tension between broad-view Brihaspati versus detail-oriented Bantering Budha.

Pada 1-2-3 are blessed with an expansive capacity for evocative description or inspirational speaking. Often excellent writers who can facilitate spiritual growth via specific explanation and detailed description.

Pada 1-2-3 are often found in the literary arts, in teaching roles, in academic advising, as travel guides, and as poets who describe the natural world.

[Karkata - Kadaga] -pada-4 represents Guru's rulership of 6-imbalance ++ 9-philosophical principles. Pada-4 also embodies the tension between global, paternalistic Saptarishi versus local, undulating, motherly Somana.

As master gardeners and natural herbal physicians, they understand the wisdom of the mineral, plant, and animal kingdoms. Pada-4 may also emerge into the religious professions where they may grow a garden of psycho-intuitive understanding that develops into doctrine.

Although the Higher Teacher seeks wisdom, for Karkata-Punarvasu the guru-figure may also be adversarial, impoverished, polluted, or ailing (due to Brihaspati activates 6).

Themes of restoration of lost knowledge , gardening, fertility of understanding, wish fulfillment, and conceptual teaching may contextualize Aditya's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Punarvasu - Aditya

QUOTATION from Shil-Ponde (1939) Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra . p 81

" ... from Arudra to Punarvasu, a startling change in mental development.

In Punarvasu, the native is possessed of profound intelligence,

capable of delving into and understanding all manner of philosophical and metaphysical postulates.

He revels in abstract thought

and has a lively and profound imagination.

He may be also a poet of high attainment, expressing a fire and vitality in his verse

which is the result of an unusually passionate temperament.

He will, however, be only moderately successful by worldly standards during his lifetime

although unlike the Arudra native, he will not experience poverty."

Ram Dass [Richard Alpert] during the 1970s

Assistant Professor Richard Alpert in 1963 [age 32] in the Harvard University Department of Psychology

during RD's lengthy recovery from his 1997 debilitating stroke, RD suffered a near-fatal bacterial infection.

Hugging Saint 1953- Ammachi of Kerala delivers a Shakti pulse to get RD up and running. After this jolting shakti intervention, his health slowly rebounded, and RD lived for many more years.

During ongoing stroke recovery, Ram Dass' health improved in his 80's

QUOTATION from Ram Dass / I Crochet /

And at the end I couldn't stand it, the evening was over.

What have you done in your life that has put you in the space where you know these things, and she leaned forward very conspiratorially and she said, I crochet, and that moment of realizing that just the simplest thing, that in the way she did that took her into those spaces and realizing at that moment that I had gotten so hooked on my method , and that methods are methods are methods and people do it all different kinds of ways ..."
