“A child is born on that day and at that hour when the celestial rays are in mathematical harmony with his individual karma. His horoscope is a challenging portrait, revealing his unalterable past and its probable future results. But the natal chart can be rightly interpreted only by men of intuitive wisdom: these are few.”
“The wise man defeats his planets – which is to say, his past – by transferring his allegiance from the creation to the Creator. The more he realises his unity with Spirit, the less he can be dominated by matter. The soul is ever free; it is deathless because birthless. It cannot be regimented by stars.”
“By a number of means – by prayer, by will-power, by yoga meditation, by consultation with saints, by use of astrological bangles – the adverse effects of past wrongs can be minimised or nullified” Sri Yukteshwar Lahiri, Guru of Sri Paramhansa Yogananda [‘Autobiography of a Yogi’]
