Quote of the day by Sri Sri Ravishankar: "Astrology is called the Eye of Wisdom"

Sri Sri Ravishankar is the spiritual Guru, humanitarian and the founder of art of living that teaches the breath meditation and the mindfulness to reduce the stress. He encourages people to live a positive life and get involved in humanitarian acts and do things for the benefit of society. According to him astrology is "An Eye of Wisdom", that can be used as an awareness not as fear. Let's understand the meaning behind this statement.

The meaning of "An Eye of Wisdom"

According to Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, astrology is often misunderstood as a predictions or superstition but it is more than a prediction. Some people use it for spreading fear among people by telling their future predictions but it gives an insight about someone's life so that they can take the preventive measures and improve their living.

Astrology is a tool to understand life

Astrology is a medium to understand life closely rather than using it a wrong manner. For example; if you are under the Saturn's Maha Dasha then it will help you to make changes in your life, follow some spiritual practices to at least reduce the bad impact of Shani rather than creating a fear. Astrology brings clarity and not confusion. It just helps to see the hidden patterns of life. This will make you understand that why such events are happening and how you can correct them.

Astrology is an awareness

According to him, astrology is an awareness not fear. This does not make you helpless, but give you freedom to respond wisely. This is a knowledge which should not be used to create fear. It gives you knowledge about the cosmic order, planets, galaxies, zodiac signs and many other things. Knowledge is all about knowing everything what will happen and then take it positively. Astrology is not just knowing the future but understand the present with clarity.


This is a modern world, where things are uncertain and people always search for the right direction and guidance and when astrologers or expert guide the people with responsibility and wisdom then it creates an awareness so that they can make conscious decisions in life. Astrology should be used with responsibility and it should not replace ethics, inner calling and common sense.
