Astrology will NOT save you from the cycle of birth and death so avoid this nonsense.

Astrology will NOT save you from the cycle of birth and death.

Srila Prabhupada - "Avoid Astrology, it will NOT save you at death!" (Letter to Devamaya 01/09/75 ) 

Srila Prabhupada - "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?" (05/03/69 Lecture: Boston, Massachusetts)

Srila Prabhupada - "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. So, continue nicely with your deity worship there and read my books very carefully, and without fail chant 16 rounds on your beads daily. I hope this meets you in good health." (05/03/69 Lecture: Boston, Massachusetts)

Srila Prabhupada - "Please accept my blessings. I am in due receipt of your letter dated June 6, 1975 and have noted the contents. No, you should not bother with all this nonsense. "Astrology will not save you at the time of death". My Guru Maharaj was a great astrologer and astronomer, but he gave it all up. It is meant for the karmis. We have no interest in such things. I hope this meets you in good health. (A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada 01/09/75 Letter to Devamaya)

For those who disagree, then their argument is with His Divine Grace AC Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada not me.

Even Prabhupada's Spiritual Master, who was a great Astrologer, gave it up as materialistic nonsense and said in this Age of Kali-yuga our ONLY business should be preaching the mission of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu and engaging in mass Sankirtan in every city and village of chanting Hare Krishna.

This nonsense Astrology will NOT save you at death Prabhupada warned us.

Any so called Vaishnava who practises Astrology, even in ISKCON, are bogus nonsense!

When Prabhupada was here, he forbid his disciples to be astrologers, I was there when he said this!

Only after he left in 1977 did bogus devotees start their nonsense Astrology. 

ISKCON is NOT meant to become astrologers, ISKCON is meant to preach ONLY the mission of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

It's Kali-yuga, the science of Astrology is almost lost. 

And in anycase, Astrology is meant for materialists NOT devotees.

Today Astrology is nonsense superstition and speculation.

Astrology is mostly used by Hindus sentimentally for birth dates for children, marriages, days to travel on and school exams.

When Prabhupada was with us no one dared become astrologers because he told us our ONLY mission is the Sankirtan Movement of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

One time in Melbourne he commented how he was told by an Astrologer not to travel on a Tuesday, but was the day important preaching programs were arranged for him.

He told us if we clap our hands in front of the Deities, all Astrological predictions change so what is the use of this Astrology? 

He then went to the preaching arrangement in New Zealand stating devotees depend of Krishna to protect them NOT Astrology.

His Spiritual Master Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Sarasvati Thakur was a great Astrology but gave it up to preach Lord Caitanya's mission.

The truth about Astrology in Kali-yuga -

Srila Prabhupada personally said in his room in February 1973 that in this age of Kali-yuga no one really understands the astrological influences of the Cosmos today in Kali-yuga.

Even though you will find many quotes where Prabhupada rejects Astrology on Vaniquotes, Prabhupada also talks about its deep rooted tradition with Hindus, especially with new borns, marriages, when to travel and when not to travel - it is a very old Vedic tradition.

However, to a Vaishnava, Astrology is NOT important because devotees only business is to follow the teachings of Lord Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Therefore Vaishnavas do not take any Astrological future predictions (speculations) seriously because the science and bonafide teachers are no longer applicable to Vaishnavas in Kali-yuga.

Todays astrological predictions are simply speculation and therefore should be avoided and not taken seriously because the material world is ALWAYS in a state of decay with danger at every step anyway.

Prabhupada said an aspiring Vaishnava does not take Astrology seriously in Kali-yuga and that it is a waste of time to pursue.

Prabhupada told us, what ever influences the planet's and stars have, you can change its effect by clapping your hands and chanting Hare Krishna in front of the Dieties.
