You want to make a certain amount of money, say, 5 to 7 grand a month. Yet you know you don't know how it in the world it can be done. You have looked at every possible avenue and come to the conclusion, "No. No. It is not going to work. It is absolutely irrational and illogical to expect this amount."

I honestly agree with you. But then it should not stop you from dreaming about it and more particularly, praying for it. Still, it may not happen. Years have already passed by, but it has not happened.

You may say, 'Why hope against hope about an unreality?' I understand such a frustration leading to a pessimistic attitude. I would only want to emphasize that you keep praying. If you call on God constantly, one day He is going to answer your prayer. You can pray to any God/Guru/Messiah that you resonate with.

For some reason, you want to be mad at prayer/God, etc. You can do so. But I know you will come back again.

The Universal Intelligence knows everything, including when you should receive what. Patience will give you peace of mind.

Over a period of time, I have found Vedic Astrology very helpful to solve problems. Now I have developed a web-based application of my version of Vedic Astrology. It will be available to you in 2 weeks or earlier. I consider this new site 'Astroved' a great accomplishment. I express thanks to Kumari (Cathy O'Sullivan) and Samadhi (Caryn Oresky) for their timeless work. Their hard work will relieve the hardships of many.

THANK GOD!

The Pilgrims who celebrated the first Thanksgiving in America were fleeing religious persecution in their native England. In 1620, the group set sail for the New World. The trip was long, cold and damp. There was the constant threat of fire on the wooden ships so what little food they had had to be eaten cold. Many passengers became sick and one died. There were many disagreements on ship. They learned to put aside their differences and hardships and kept the faith--the promise of a New World and a new life.

They landed in Plymouth Harbor. The first winter was devastating, and many more Pilgrims died. They feared the indigenous people; however, soon their fears were dispelled. These people taught the Pilgrims much about agriculture and even provided food, which was in short supply.

The next years were hard. They kept the faith--the promise of a New World and a new life.

The third year, a celebration was held with indigenous people and Pilgrims alike, a celebration of thanks.

Although life was difficult with much suffering, they gave thanks. Their thanks was for what they had: friends, food, community, a New World and a new life. We continue this custom today in November as Thanksgiving.

Let us show our thanks this season by remembering those whose suffering is greater than our own. When we eat, let us remember the people who do not have enough to eat. Be aware. Another way to show thanks is to donate to the Tripura Foundation. Your contribution will feed and educate the children of Tripura's charity projects.

Om Nama Sivaya. Thank you, God.
