In my horoscope it is written there, “At the age of seventy years he will go across the sea.” It is written there. Yes. And there are so many things still. So this astrologer was so accurate. I have got that horoscope. Not here. If some day I shall, then will show. It is clearly written there that “This time he will go across the sea.” Just see. The circumstances became so that I have come. So astrology is so nice. – Lecture on Sri Caitanya-caritamrita, Madhya-lila 6.149-50, Gorakhpur, February 13, 1971
Sri Dharmavīra Prabhu has mastered the science of Astrology with over 40 years of experience and at present, he is living in Rādhākuṇḍa empowering many sādhakas in chanting the pure name of the Lord. However, in order to elevate the common people in general, he as a Vedic Astrologer instructs the common people about their Astrology and elevate them into the process of chanting the Holy name.
The effect of gemstone on one’s unfavorable situation is dependent on one’s planet positions and it must be predicted very well as it requires lot of experience on Vedic Astrology. Sri Dharmavira Prabhu is an expert in gemstone recommendations and he also arranges them from the right source.
For example, Blue sapphire gemstone must be worn for the first time on Saturday, 15 minutes after Sun raise. These details may vary depending on the gemstone recommended based on one’s planet positions.
Interviewer: Then the question may be raised that if destiny cannot be checked, then why not let every newborn child simply run around like an animal, and whatever is destined to happen to him will happen?
Śrīla Prabhupāda: No, the advantage is that you can train him spiritually. Therefore it is said, tasyaiva hetoḥ prayateta kovidaḥ: you should engage your energy for self-realization. Ahaituky apratihatā: devotional service, Kṛṣṇa consciousness, cannot be checked. Just as material destiny cannot be checked, your advancement in spiritual life cannot be checked if you endeavor for it. Actually, Kṛṣṇa will change destiny—but only for His devotee. He says, ahaṁ tvāṁ sarva-pāpebhyo mokṣayiṣyāmi: “I shall give you all protection from all reactions of sinful activities.” (Bhagavad-gītā 18.66)
