Question: Depend on Astrology or Krishna?
| ||||||
I am chanting sixteen rounds of Hare Krishna mantra japa mala every day for the past six years and attending bhakti vriksha classes ,taking bhakti shastri training, and attending temple programs. I have a doubt whether devotees should follow astrology or they should just totally depend on Krishna. Two astrologers told me that my future is not good. I will not get married soon. (Already it is too late.) If by chance I get married my married life will not be good. They told me to do some puja and fasting. They told me to worship the nine planets and do puja and fasting for them. What should I do in this situation?
As I am attending so many classes and programs, my mind is not accepting to do all those rituals. My mind is telling that just depend on Krishna. He will take care of you. But my mother and brother are forcing me to do all those rituals.
I think I have bad karma from my previous births. That's why I am suffering like this. Should I totally depend on Krishna? Or should I follow the instructions of these two astrologers? Please enlighten me in this matter.
Thanks.
Hare Krishna!

Answer: Just Depend on Krishna

Just depend on Krishna. Regarding astrology, Srila Prabhupada wrote to his disciple Devamaya as follows:
"Regarding astrology, you should not listen to any of these so-called astrologers -- strictly avoid. Don't even see them. What is the use of seeing them? Astrology is meant for the materialist, but a spiritualist does not care for the future. Everything is dependent upon Krishna. So where is the necessity of astrology? The devotees' principle is, let there happen anything as Krishna desires. Let me remain sincere devotee, that's all. Pure devotee is never interested in this astrology.”
Whatever bad karma you have will taken away when you accept initiation from the bona fide spiritual master. Therefore forget this astrology business and simply take complete shelter of Guru and Krishna.
