Shortcomings of Conventional Astrological Treatment
In case of gem- therapy, a number of factors delimit its use. The quality of gems is a questionable factor because ordinary people are not well acquainted with the grades of gems. It may cause side effects if not properly diagnosed. Gems may be cracked, lost or wasted in the business of life. They are valuable and beyond the purchasing power of poor. Besides, the effect of gems is unidirectional. Single gem is usable only to mitigate the functions of a single planet. Similarly, yantras, metals and herbs are also useful form single point of view. Observance of special rituals are the subject of financial expense and separate programmes to be conducted for separate planet. Mantras are, though, more beneficial, yet chanting of mantra without devotion becomes mechanical and expected result will not be visible.
Under this situation, astrologers need a holistic technique of treatment which must have an all round beneficial effect. At this crucial point of history i.e. on the eve of third millennium, people of almost all professions in every continents are experiencing anxiety, chronic restlessness, dangerous disease, marital maladjustment in the midst of all materialistic sufficiency. Hence, they should incline to arise their 'inner potential power' through the practice of meditation.
Meditation as a holistic technique of Astrological Treatment
In Vedic astrology, it is mentioned that adjustment to one's subtle environment is indispensable to treat astrological maladies and it is possible only through the practice of meditation and yoga (Frawley, 1990). The great sages of ancient time fore tell every things about the universe by virtue of their elevated level of pure consciousness. What science, politics, economics and sociology are trying to achieve now, the science of astrology had been viewed it centuries ago by virtue of pure consciousness achieved through meditation.
Practice of meditation and recitation of mantra is the tradition of vedic culture. Sages like Parasara, Garga and Vragu have mentioned the effectiveness of meditation and yoga in the eradication of negative planetary influences. Currently Yoga and Meditation is ganing popularity among the physicians and therapists as they are treating their patients to cure from illness and mental aberration (Pahwa, 1998).
