Child adoption

Madam / sir, you’ve asked a valid question. The astrological answer is at the end, but a more relevant answer before that.

There is no such thing as “making spiritual”. Everybody is already spiritual in their own way. Your question comes because you want the child to fit inside your definition of spirituality (which may be followed by crores of people or lakhs of people or just you alone – but it is your definition). This is not possible in almost any case. Even prabhu Krishna doesn’t enforce this because he says “take any path you wish because all paths lead to me”. In fact he even teaches multiple paths like Sankhya yog, karm yog, gyaan yog, bhakti yog, etc etc etc. If we force a particular path on someone, we destroy the possibility of spirituality for them. It is like a rose saying to a lotus that the lotus is not a flower because it does not look like the rose.

There are many spiritual people around me and this is how different people find the same peak bliss of devotion and spirituality: cooking and feeding others; exercising and playing sports; earning and donating money; yoga and meditation; giving medical help and curing people; doing karamkaand puja in traditional ways etc; chanting or jaap; painting; sexuality; dancing; travelling alone to temples near mountains and rivers; etc etc

Now if you tell all of them to follow one single definition of spirituality, they will revolt sooner or later. That is why colourful dharma started to feel like a bondage and here we are today. Please do not make the child spiritual, let the child grow into the spirituality which god has already planted in him. Help him out on his path, but don’t pull him to your path.

Now astrological answer – yes he will be a spiritual person but not a saint. He has very high energy and passion so he should engage in intense martial arts or hatha yoga practice to channelise that energy properly. He can be a secretive person. Will have a colourful imagination but should differentiate between reality and imagination. He would love his own independence, will also be proud / egoistic. Will make bad choices in relationships and trust the wrong person easily but anyway that’s necessary for his lessons. He will be driven by a motive to gain respect, status, popularity, wealth, etc. and will like to travel and explore places and the result of this will teach him how to let things go, have faith, accept transformations, etc. Clever but conflicted / confused mind.

Now don’t try to force good circumstances on him or try to save him from bad ones because the that doesn’t work. Just help him on his way.
