Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!

Dear Swamiji, Jagannatha Gauranga dasa and devotees, please accept my humble obeisances.

Interesting questions. Pure devotees have gone 100% away from these planetary influences because they have surrendered themselves fully to the Lord Who in turn takes full personal care of His pure devotees. Since He is the Source of all sources everything else is overruled because of His personal involvement.

We also have to understand that the astrological charts do not refer to the soul itself since the soul is transcendental to time and place. So the astrological charts can only refer to the frame and characteristics of the temporary existence of our bodies and subtle bodies.

Yes the Lord can make your body be around longer. King Pariksit was attacked when still in the womb by a weapon that couldn�t be countered by any ordinary being however Lord Sri Krishna saved him. That same king Pariksit was cursed and bitten by a snake and died because of that. Both events were couldn�t be in the charts because they are part of the Lord�s and His pure devotee�s pastimes which are above all temporary designations.

One�s birth reading can say anything and as soon as someone takes up devotional service to the Lord one starts to function on another plain where the guidance of one�s progression is under the direct influence of Lord Gauranga Krishna, Guru and Shastra. Actually the pure chanting of the holy Name instantly destroys our karma altogether and nothing can be predicted anymore according to the laws that govern karma.

While in the purification process itself when we climb from neophyte to advanced devotee we are pending between both; karma and being under the direct influence of the Lord. The more we surrender to the Lord the more we are under His direct influence and the more we transcend His indirect influence that causes our temporary destination.

Your servant,
Hadai Nityananda dasa

Nityananda Gauranga Hare Krishna!
