Long ago, in the age of Satya Yuga, when truth reigned supreme and Dharma stood on all four legs, there lived a wise sage named Rishi Anantavrat, known not for his rituals but for his deep understanding of cosmic order — the Rita, the invisible harmony of the universe.
He once asked Lord Brahma, “Why do some souls rise high while others fall, despite being born under the same stars?”
Brahma smiled and said, “Come, I will show you.”
Brahma took Anantavrat beyond the veil of time, into the realm where Karmas are recorded — a great hall of Chitragupta, the divine accountant.
There, Anantavrat saw a vast celestial ledger, glowing with energy. Each soul had its own column — listing births, deeds, intentions, and desires. Even actions done in secret were etched in gold or ash, depending on their nature.
Brahma explained, “Astrology shows the tendencies — the seeds. But it is action that waters them. The stars create the canvas, but your karma holds the brush.”
Anantavrat noticed something strange — two souls born under the same planetary alignment, identical charts, yet their destinies had diverged.
One became a revered king, the other a forgotten wanderer.
Brahma said, “One followed Svadharma — his unique path — even when it was difficult. The other mimicked others, betraying his inner truth.”
“Does that mean fate can be changed?” asked the sage.
“Fate is not a sentence. It is a script you can still edit — with awareness and will. The Manusamhita speaks not just of law, but of alignment with Dharma — the highest cosmic rhythm. When a person lives in tune with their nature and duties, even harsh planetary influences soften.”
As they returned to earth, Anantavrat understood — astrology is not destiny written in stone, but a divine mirror showing us the path of least resistance to liberation.
✨ Moral & Astrological Insight:
Your birth chart is the cosmic blueprint, but Dharma is the key to evolution. Karma shapes the outcome, not the stars alone.
- Even with strong planetary doshas (flaws), following your true calling (Svadharma) can transcend astrological challenges.
- Rahu or Saturn may bring hardships, but with discipline and higher purpose, they can become spiritual allies.
- Manusamhita teaches that the highest Dharma is self-realization — when you act in harmony with your true nature.
