Chapter 1: Zodiac and the Rays
- Either practice 20 minutes of Aurobindo's meditation or SriRam Sharma ACharya's Gayatri meditation. This is a must.
- An expertise in the treatise of seven rays is essential for esoteric astrology
- First ray: Will
2: Love
3: Work
4: Harmony
5: Science
6: Devotion
7: Organization
- Whatever we do..all these 7 rays work together. When these are properly understood, we can get the white ray.
- Your entire body is filled with white light
- Since we have 1000 petalled white lotus, we can see it as a halo around saints.
- THis is not of a individual horoscope...but we still have our individual part to play. It is part of humanity, you are just a small spot on it.
- Whenever you are doing Gayatri Mantra, feel that you are light.
- Zodiac is naught but the imaginary path of the sun through the heavens, and this as it appears from the standpoint of our totally insignificant planet
- The sun is not, as stated, in any sign of the zodiac. It simply appears to be so as it passes between our little sphere, the Earth, and the constellations at any particular time or season.
- We have to learn that any energy that we get from the planet earth is from the Sun.

Dattatreya's dog esoteric astrology and the Avatar of synthesis
I found this great passage relating to the significance of Dattatreya's dog which has references to Avatar of Synthesis and Master Maithreya and esoteric astrology.
See Page 12: http://www.scribd.com/doc/8293660/Shri-Guru-Dattatreya book written by Master Khambhampati Parvathy Kumar of Vizag (http://www.worldteachertrust.org/pdf/kpk60_e.pdf)
Quoted from the book:
The Vedic symbolism relating to the dog relates to the Dog Star. The Dog Star Sirius is locationally in Scorpio and functionally enters into our system through the Central Sun of Leo. To the students of esoteric astrology it is clear that the Sirius system constitutes the Teacher principle to our system, while the Great Bear and the Pleiades play the role of the Father and the Mother. The Vedic seers conceived the energy of love and compassion, which are received into our system as coming from Sirius.
In the Vedic system, Sirius is called Sarama. Sarama means dog. Sirius is called the Dog, both, for its appearance from this Earth and also for its functional aspect. The Divine Plan for our system is first received in Sirius and then transmitted into our system. Systemically speaking, the impressional work relating to the evolution of our solar system is conducted by Sirius. Even the Avatar of Synthesis who is to come, is predicted to be entering from the south, for south stands for the sun-sign Leo, of love and compassion. Leo in man, is the Heart Centre, which can unfold love and compassion. The most profound Truth relating to the Avatars and the related evolution of our solar system are hidden in Sirius.
The replica of the Sirius System on this planet is the Hierarchy with its ashrams in the Himalayas and the Blue Mountains. The head of the Hierarchy, Lord Maitreya, is believed to be in tune with the Lord of the Sarameya (Sirius System), whose Lord is Dattatreya. Dattatreya is the Head of the Great Grand Lodge of the White Brotherhood on Sirius, while Maitreya is the Head of the Great Grand Lodge of the White Brotherhood on this planet. Together they are steering the energies of Neptune, for the benefit of this planetary evolution.
