In the horoscope of those who are on the lower level,
Venus rules over the glamour for beauty. He is generally
influenced by Mars. For those, who live in the higher level
of personality, Venus gives the love of beauty through
form and later through concept with the aid of colour

expresses the love of beauty through concept with the aid
of poetry, a subtler vehicle. When the consciousness exists
in soul-levels, Venus transforms the love of beauty into
love as beauty. Love as beauty is the first experience of
truth.
The mantram for the elevation through the ray of
Venus is Amala which wards off the evil effects of this
planet in the horoscope (only in the spiritual sense) and
leads the disciple through the sense of response to beauty,
into the required levels. This mantram is meditated as the
Lady-in-the-lotus located in the heart of Vishn.u. Through
this mantram the disciple realises the meaning of ‘the
woman in the heart of man’. The ancient seers have given
the key of sound and form which redeems the student
from the limitations of the mundane effects of planets.
The mantram for Jupiter is Hamsa s’s’iva sso-ham; the mantram
for Sun is Ghrin.i; the mantram of Moon is Ambuja; the
mantram for Mercury is Sakala and that for Neptune is
Ain-dreem.

earth which includes the process of the higher principles
