Shloka : 18 / 20

In the 15th chapter, 18th verse of the Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna declares himself as the imperishable Paramatma. This is significant for those with the Makara Rasi, as Saturn is their ruler. Saturn, in conjunction with the Uttiradam Nakshatra, fosters stability and a sense of responsibility in life. The influence of Saturn will be strong for Makara Rasi individuals in the three areas of family, finance, and health. In the family, their sense of responsibility and honest actions will contribute to family welfare. In financial matters, Saturn provides them with long-term financial planning and economic stability. In health, Saturn guides them in ways to improve physical and mental well-being. Like the teachings of Lord Krishna, Makara Rasi individuals must cultivate spiritual contemplation to achieve elevated states in all areas of their lives. This will help them attain peace of mind and realize the true meaning of life.

In this verse, Sri Krishna declares himself as the one who is above all. What perishes is different, but He is the imperishable Paramatma. He is referred to as Purushottama in the Vedas because He is the original soul that governs everything. The imperishable things also depend on Him. This means He is exalted in all states. Understanding Him is the pinnacle of spiritual contemplation.

The fundamental idea of Vedanta is that the soul is imperishable, meaning it does not perish. This world is ever-changing. However, the Paramatma is above all of it. Sri Krishna identifies himself in this way. Here, the Paramatma spoken of by the Lord helps humanity realize its true state. The spiritual elevation of a person travels not just with the body in this world but with the soul. This is the main purpose of Vedanta.

Today, we live under many pressures: family responsibilities, financial issues, health concerns, and the noise of social media. In this context, one's spiritual journey becomes significant. Like the imperishable Paramatma spoken of by Lord Krishna, we must maintain our peace of mind. Spirituality helps us face our transient problems and rapidly changing circumstances. It emphasizes spiritual values in family welfare, parental responsibilities, and child development. It is essential to maintain a mental state and long-term vision to tackle financial and debt pressures. Healthy eating habits and proper lifestyle practices contribute to longevity. If we use our time wisely on social media, it can lead to spiritual growth. All of these assist in achieving the elevated state that Krishna speaks of.
