I was reading a book written by Indian philosopher Adi Shankara when I come across this shloka :

“अहं निर्विकल्पो निराकाररूपो | विभुत्वाच्च सर्वत्र सर्वेन्द्रियाणाम् | न चासङ्गतं नैव मुक्तिर्न मेयः | चिदानन्दरूपः शिवोऽहम् शिवोऽहम् |”

Which roughly translates to - when all the perceptions of you sheds and mirage of ego disappears , when you aren’t attached to anything or nothing is attached to you . I exists . I can not be defined . I am the eternal consciousness which prevails equally within you and this universe . I can not be isolated. I AM ALL THAT IS.

This eternal consciousness is known “shiva” the Advaita (non-dual)

The Empress correlates very well to Bharani Nakshatras as I have already described on Tumblr. Here, I have included more of Vic Dicara's YouTube videos describing nakshatras and their purposes in Vedic natural health, arts and science practices.

For the record, I do not know Mr. Dicara. I am sharing here as I find his books, articles and YouTube channel very useful for yogis and tarot practitioners. I highly suggest "27 Gods, 27 Nakshatras," written by Mr. Dicara, a well known Vedic scholar. Links to his books are provided in the link to his website www.vicdicara.com.

I believe this video describing Bharani Nakshatra will be found beneficial to yogis tarot practitioners everywhere. Bharani "the Bearer" is very much Empress energy as described by Waite in his "Pictorial Key to the Tarot" and his other writings. The Rider Waite system of tarot is a great way to discover Bharani. Bharani is a great way to discover the Rider Waite Smith as well as non Rider Waite Smith Tarot systems.

Tarot practitioners will not be disappointed by this video or by anything else published and created by Vic Dicara.

Viveka is an Sanskrit word which means “separating the real from the unreal”

Sometimes we are so caught up in the facade made by us that we unconsciously overlook the real situation and mould it according to our on perception of that situation for better or worse .

According to the Indian philosophy the ability to see the reality as it is, is the ultimate “Wisdom” .

Tarot Meditation: Rider Waite Smith Tarot and Jyeshta Nakshatra

Understanding Jyeshta through the Rider Waite Tarot system.

Finding the Rider Waite Smith through Jyeshta.

Jyeshta according to western sidereal astrologers is the sixteenth nakshatra/ lunar mansion of the zodiac. According to western sidereal astrologers, Jyeshta is found at approximately 10 degrees Sagittarius to 23 Sagitarrius. Eastern Siderealists find Jyeshta in the Scorpio part of the zodiac. To follow the western or eastern sidereal zodiac is in itself an interesting meditation and very useful to mindful practices and especially mindful practices such as tarot.

Vic Dicara is a Vedic scholar who shares his wealth of Vedic knowledge on his YouTube channel. His books such as "27 God, 27 Nakshatras," are a must read for Vedic arts and Science practitioners and of course for yogi and tarot practitioners. Included is a link to his website. His website has links to his books and to his YouTube channel.

I enjoy Vic Dicara's channel very much. For the record, I do not know Vic Dicara. It is in full objectivity that I recommend his channel and his books to any Vedic arts and science practitioner and especially yogi and tarot practitioners.

I am certain tarot practitioners will agree that Mr. Dicara's translations of Sanskrit texts are very useful to tarot practices. I feel many tarot practitioners will recognize this particular video of Jyeshta along with Jyesta's deity Indra as a likely foundation in understanding the Rider Waite Smith as according to Waite.

I encourage tarot practitioners to watch the attached video and consider the Seven of Swords and any other Rider Waite Smith Tarot Card that may or may not come to mind.

Namaste.
