THE MATERIAL LIFE AND THE SPIRITUAL AWAKENING/PROGRESS

The material life of Rohini may bring fortune and happiness. The very presence of  Rohini in a family with all pursuits of material living bring a lot of wealth, fortune and happiness. The family life of the Rohini osiliates between the Material life and the Spiritual life.

This entails a risk, however. A person with a strong emphasis on this constellation would immerse  in the materialistic aspects of life in such a way that the spiritual aspect would be lost. Brahma is the creator: the god who made the material world. The symbol of Rohini, a carriage drawn by oxen, represents wealth. Rohini leads to the world of wealth, luxury and sensuality.

This may enrich a person born in Rohini in their life unless they would consequently neglect the spiritual aspect of your life. Spirituality however, does not necessarily mean asceticism.


The spiritual path of Rohini has to do with Tantra. Tantra is a religion from ancient India which consists of embracing life, enjoying all aspects of existence and, by doing so, reaching harmony with the universe and going into ecstasy and enlightenment .

Tantra requires leading a normal life; yet performing all spiritual pursits in absolute secrecy. In all outward appearance, the person seem to be in most worldly behaviour; but, they will be in bliss and esctasic life, with their organized and self purported secret spiritual pursuit.

The the basic discipline indicated in Astanga Yoga will be of much help to them, for their spiritual process for self awakening.
