1. Mind in Vedanta

The mind is generally considered as an internal organ with triple cardinal qualities (trigunas) made of five subtle elements. Functionally, it is distinguished by four idiosyncratic names—manas, buddhi, chitta and Ahamkara. The Bhatta School of Purvamimamsa expedites that the mind is universal and have eternal contact with the all-pervasive Atman and mind with several cognitions. The purpose of human life is to serve as a conduit or catalyst for the spiritualization of the material world. Love is the root of selfless service which is considered as fruit of spiritual consciousness.^[1] The Samkhya and yoga system considers the mind to be about the size of the body. Advaita Vedanta indicates the mind as a subtle substance (dravya). It is neither atomic nor infinite in size, but it is said to be of madhyamaparinama, medium size, which permeate the body of the particular Jiva in which it belongs to. Since the mind of each Jiva is different, that has a beginning, as proved by such Shruti statements as, “It (Brahman) projected the mind” (Bhruhadopanishat Vedanta Paribhasha 1.2.1). As per Kathopanishad, beyond the senses are the objects, beyond the objects is the Mind, the intellect; beyond the intellect, the Great Atman (Mahat); beyond the mahat the unmanifest (Avykata or Ishwara); beyond the Unmanifest, the Purusha (Absolute or Nirguna Brahman); Beyond Purush there is nothing else; this is the end, he is the Supreme God. The wise men should merge his speech in his mind, his mind with his intelligence. He should merge his intellect in the Cosmic Mind (Mahat) and the cosmic mind in the Tranquil self (Absolute). The creation of great Epics contributed by early civilizations and cultures such as Bhagavatha [Bhagavatham], Ramayana, Druva Charita [Charitam], Tara Sasanka and Vedas are the valid reserves of Astrological knowledge. They stand as the deepest spiritual consciousness opening a new realm of reality of the human beings which are applicable all the time.

Astrologically, spiritual consciousness is cosmic awareness which is a deeper experience of the supreme spirit of an interconnectedness of One in All to All in One. Astrology suggests reading, singing, reciting, hearing and chanting the Mantras beneath cosmic light provides enormous benefits through which people get cheerfulness into all aspects of life. Veda means a science worth to be known. One should accept all the sciences are true. The scientific principle hidden in all sciences is the same. Only those who accept and honor the truth, can utilize all scientific knowledge of Astrology with an open mind.
