Unquote Moola Trikana (Root Triangle) of planets are –        Mars in Aries Moon in Taurus Sun in Leo Mercury in Virgo Venus in Libra Jupiter in Sagittarius Saturn in Aquarius It seems like a possible planetary position! Was there such a planetary position in some ancient past when astrology originated? It could be! For sure some secret is there behind! Given below is a chart of BC 3663 June 29 Sunday, generated by JHora; Just to indicate that a similar combination is possible. Moolatrikona - Chart (BC 3663) Date: Time: Time Zone: Place: Altitude: June 29, -3662 7:00:00 am 5:30:00 (East of GMT) 75 E 46' 00", 23 N 11' 00" Kota, India 0.00 meters Lunar Yr-Mo: Kaala-yukta - Bhadrapada Tithi: Krishna Shashthi (Ve) (3.82% left) Rohini (Mo) (96.88% left) Vajra (Mo) (80.32% left) Vanija (Ve) (7.64% left) Venus (5 min sign: Aq) Sun (Mahakala: Sun) 5:38:09 am 7:08:33 pm Vedic Weekday: Sunday (Su) Nakshatra: Yoga: Karana: Hora Lord: Kaala Lord: Sunrise: Sunset: Mahakala Hora: Sun (5 min sign: Aq) Janma Ghatis: 3.4108 Ayanamsa: 54-13-25.80 Sidereal Time: 0:57:04 For this date, the plants are placed as follows –          Mars is retrograde and is in Pisces (Not in Aries) Moon in Taurus Sun in Leo Mercury in Virgo Venus in Libra Jupiter in Sagittarius Saturn in Aquarius (and is in retrograde) Rahu is in Sagittarius Ketu is in Gemini [Note: I am now in Kota, Rajastan, and I thought about this around 7.00 am, and that is the only reason for selecting the above place and time] Please note the following points from the above planetary position     Sreenadh: Let us play a bit more with this data, it seems to be very interesting exercise – Some place names like Prag Jyotisha, Kamakhya etc (places with historical importance) which Chandrahari ji had mentioned was there in my mind. So I just searched for the place name starting with “Prag” in Jhora place search and got the place name "Pragpura". Pragpura = Ancient city. Yap, it sounds good. ;) I don't know where this place is, just having fun. Then I just re-casted the horoscope taking 6.00 am as birth time; just for fun; and got the following result Moolatrikona - Chart (BC 3663) - Skanda Date: Time: Time Zone: Place: June 29, -3662 6:00:00 am 5:30:00 (East of GMT) 76 E 06' 00", 27 N 37' 00" Pragpura, India Except Ma all other planets fulfill the Moolatrikona condition. Just to make Ve appear in Li, Chitrapaksha Ayanamsa is used. I don't have any argument that astrology started in this period, or that this year has any special importance. It is just a cute info came to mind while playing with JHora amd Moolatrikona concept.

Look at that! Nakshatra = Krittika ! Mahakala Hora= Mars (Kumara)! Weekday = Sunday (The first day of week as per Indian system, Also indicates Siva)! Hora Lord = Sun (Siva)! Kaala Lord= Sun (Mahakala: Sun) Lagna lord (Me=Young Prince, Kumara) and Ma (Kumara) aspecting lagna! 2 planets exalted, 5 planets in Own house, Ve Vargottama!

Early morning 6. the agriculture was non-existent and at most. then they could never commit a mistake in mentioning the actual placement of Ma. Me.: Even if Moolatrikona graha placements have some importance. wherein the King sacrifices his body to Devas. whose travel has been established from Iraq during the time of great deluge. there are several knowledgeable people who came along with Indra such as Kasyapa and perhaps . they were mostly concerned with timing the vedic events such as Rituals and festivals. the originator or astrology born in born in the ancient city of Pragpura. The story of Vrita getting killed in the hands of Indra is one such episode and occupies a prime place in RgVeda. Indra. there were only Brahmins in this society and they were also called Asuras. Hence. and son of God Siva. only done in wilderness and not in a systematic way. to start with. synthesis of social forces and advent of new sciences."Skanda.Shall we create a story that . Origin of Astrology – Vedic or Tantric? Kishore Patnaik: Once it is said Most Indians are knowledgeable.00 am. they act most ridiculous and gross. this kind of people has a hand in giving new direction to the sciences already established in the Land of India. More over. especially with the development of such new concepts as private property and caste system.S. :) Please don’t misunderstand. these people are mostly meant for protecting the herds of cows as well as protecting their masters. Ve. The Origins of astrology have started with the Jyotish. So it should be another point in time. spiritual and intellectual but when it comes to History. They were mostly cow rearing people living in both forests and towns. I do not think there was the concept of private property in the strict sense of the word. let us continue our study and search. . It is at this time that the Jyotish was practically used for timing events of mundane affairs. Ju. and Mo in the right place. The same story is retold as the episode of Prayag. In Vedic times. which caused this Moolatrikona concept. So instead of making new stories. It is also possible that Moolatrikona concept is not at all related to planetary placement at any point of time.The word Rakshasa means one who protects. The ancient science of astrology has its origins in times much earlier than what you have indicated. this is not that planetary placement. Brhspati. If the ancients got Sa. They were mostly helped by Rakshasas. This was a time of consolidation of ancient knowledge. just having fun. in BC 3663 June 29. There were commercial traders called Panis.

Certainly. those connected with agriculture. Hence. Lord Krishna was already born and Sage Parasara was older to Sri Krishna by 100 years or so. at time you are talking of.Slowly. It seems like a possible planetary position! Was there such a planetary position in some ancient past when astrology originated?! It could be! For sure some secret is there behind! Unquote I have also read that you have no arguments to state that this is the planetary position. What else one can make of the following statement? Quote This gives the Moolatrikona of all planets. it is virtually impossible to find out the beginning of astrology in its present form also! Hope you will agree with me. it is virtually impossible to find out when they have taken place. Hence. It is not even necessary that such planetary position have any relation with the origin of astrological system. It is Sage Parasara who has been gracious enough to compile all the samhitas into one book and have given the most authentic set of rules of astrology for the posterity of mankind. Quote The ancient science of astrology has its origins in times much earlier than what you have indicated. you are postponing the beginnings of astrology by several thousands of years. the Jyotish has found its way into the daily lives and people started remembering the stars in which one was born. there were several books were written and the samhitas were innumerable in number and there were many methodologies adopted in predicting and reading charts. which indicates that this is origination of astrology. the name of Prgjyotishpur (and the land of Kamrup. More over. In any case. Sreenadh: Read the full message first! I never argued that astrology originated in that period or that that planetary position was important! I have clearly stated it at the end of the mail! It was given only to indicate that. Kishore Patnaik: Of course. But by the time of Mahabharat. for which it was the capital) is connected with more of black magic but not with astrology. Unquote I know that. even during the time of Sri Rama. timing the marriages and important Meta physical events such as Coronations etc. But you should know that JHora full version allows chart calculation only upto BC 5400. planetary position as indicated by Moolatrikona could actually occur.So. Hence. I took it that you have assumed that the . I have read the entire message. agree to it completely. even if we agree on the lining of events as given above. That too I have stated at the end of the mail. Yet. people more depended upon the Nimitta and sakuna (omens) than on astrology. as just part of research. and I was looking for a planetary position that fulfills Moolatrikona planetary position at least to an extend. but much before that. I feel that most educated and sensible people in India also either do not know the correct history or how to appreciate it. no worries if you agree with me!!! Sreenadh: Your message prompted me to have a re-look at the previous message by you. We don’t have a single interpretation of Vedas in these lines as well. 6 branches of Vedas such as Astrology. There is another statement that the Vedas should be interpreted based on Shadangas . I have to put in my two pence to show why astrology could not have started at that point of time. and is speaking about the use of vowels? How many of us know that in Rigveda both Sidereal and tropical zodiac is distinguished and described? . and many other scholars. than to safe guard it. Only it is Yaska who tried to uphold the truth at least to a certain extend. 4) How many of us know that “Agnimeele purohitam” (the first sloka of Rigveda) mainly deals with Grammar. That orthodox cast Brahmin nearly killed astrology as well! If you don’t have “Karma vipakam” with you. an astrological text. Of course. you will find some slokas from it in that text. Arya samajam. The primary reaction is –  Such stories are not going to help. 2) The Rishi names in Vedas are indicative of the subject dealt with in the sloka and does not indicate persons. when it is stated in the Vedic literature it self that Adhibhouthika (worldly) –Adhidaivika (divineassigning imaginary personalities)-Adhyatmika (spiritual) etc concept should be used for interpreting Vedas. We don’t have a single interpretation of Vedas in these lines. Just think of the stupid text “Karma vipakam”. Grammar (Vyakarana). Etymology (Nirukta). (Jyotisha).i. 3) Except the Sayana bhashya (which was a interpretation of Vedas for the purpose of Yagas) we don’t have even a single good translation/interpretation of Vedas. The system we follow today has mostly a Tantric basis. Phonetics (Siksha). The word Kalatantra the concept of Signs co-relating the degreeminute division of zodiac with Prana (breath) are all part of the Tantric system. may be the ruminants of SindhuSaraswathy civilization. Nothing personal in that. Anyway. Ethics and Laws (Kalpa) . There are ancient Sanskrit quotes that say the same as well. It was only stellar astrology and Tropical calendar that can find its firm root in Vedic system.planetary position indicates the possible origin of astrology but not arguing over that! I could only understand that you are assuming but not arguing that the planetary position indicates the origination of astrology! So. We should know the fact the Sayana Bhashaya actually helped in destroying the original meaning of Vedas.e. just have a look at Prasnamarga. by Sayana as well. It is well accepted concept supported by Dayananta Saraswaty. no doubt I got impatient because this concerns history and so far as History is concerned. due to the following reasons – 1) Astrology does not seem to have originated with Vedas. Peotry (Jhanda). Vedic civilization (?) and Dravidian Civilization are entirely different – even though much mix-up took place in the later period. mathematics and technology had grown far from that by now. let it be astrology or vastu or any other subject. may be due to geographical and cultural factors. religion etc related) knowledgebase of Dravidian people in Sankham period (1st century AD). even though later the local concepts of various gods got merged with some half vedic puranic gods. except some misinterpreted Vedic slokas. 9) If the Sidhu-Saraswathy people were this much-advanced in architecture (vastu) do you think they were unaware of mathematics. they contain just the seeds of most of the Indian knowledge branches. astrology. architecture. with out seeking or depending on Archeological evidences”! What is the evidence provided by the Sidhu-Saraswathy culture says? Was the skeletons were of people of Dravidian origin!! No. These streams should be valued and given due place in the history and knowledgebase we posses. similar to Dravidian or Vedic. yoga etc. then it is easy to understand that – o o o Sindhu-Saraswathy Civilization. places where Homas (Fire sacrifice) were conducted or the even the ruins of great palaces of epic kings?) The scenario we see before us is “history accepting stories. but it was the one later helped in the survival of most of ancient knowledgebase especially in the period of Arabic and English invasions. when there is direct . If people like Chandrahari argue that those descriptions are rather related to celestial phenomenon and calendar controversy between vedic and nonvedic cultures.5) Don’t think that every knowledge exists in Vedas. o The names of ancient gods worshiped in nether north or south of India have little in common with the Vedic gods. with supportive proof what would be your answer? 7) Sidhu-Saraswathy civilization had provided large archeological evidences. and not providing much archeological proof!) 8) If we study the literature and (astrology. where is the archeological evidence for a separate “Aryan” culture existed here?! (Or even a separate vedic culture. can we show ruined buildings. o The contributions of Jain and Buddha schools of thought that existed almost from Vedic period can not be neglected. and they were almost like a separate culture. The science. 6) There not even a single proof in support of Aryan Invasion Theory. Dravidian civilization was the latest of the three. and compare it with SidhuSaraswathy and Vedic literature and knowledgebase. This makes the differentiation of culture and religion very difficult. Sindhu-Saraswathy Civilization was most scientifically advanced of the three and of the earliest origin. except the literature. it is not! What is story of newly found city under see near Bombay? It existed almost in the same period or prior to Mohanjadaro and Harappa! If you argue it is not – then is there any archeological proof that it is related to vedic or epic culture? (Put literary proof aside for some time. the Vedas had already put us into enough confusion with there various misleading interpretations. and still teaching wrong stories. and still the Vedic-literature held its place? What is the knowledge base and power that helped the Tantric system to survive and even merge the vedic stream into it?! As you know all the temples exists today are the products of Tantric system and not part of Vedic culture! Vedas are “used by” the Tantrics and the popular majority to safeguard there original beliefs! Even though much mixing took place.Yap. we can find! 12) 13) If we don’t know answer to many questions. THIS IS NOT ARYAN INVASION! But that Indra has tried to invade puras (hence. or any other subject – it is a fact. Budha. That Indra has come from Iraq during the great deluge is an irrefutable fact. when the non-vedic gods continued to exist (or get mixed with the popular religion). Dravidian and all other available type of knowledge streams in ancient India. Kishore Patnaik: Frankly speaking. than making stories The last but the most important statement is – It is completely wrong to make stories with conducting an extensive research study on the subject. medicine. The historians (they are already hysterical) are doing that for long. similar to the fact that I am a supporter of Vedic. :) The condition of the study of history is so pathetic in our country that. or how to collect archeological evidences. even a History post graduate (MA) does not know how to read an ancient script. the original system survived and the Vedic system got merged into it! Take religion.S: There could be many more reasons listed. It is a violation of learning and research principles! Even after study. why the language of Sidhu-Saraswathy civilization lacks Swara chinhas while in Sanskrit it is used in plenty? 11) Why vedic gods got discarded so easily. And in the Indian subcontinent now there is almost not even a single language that exist this characteristics including Sanskrit! In my limited knowledge the only such language I know is English. pots etc) even today? 10) Why there is not a language link between Sindhu-Saraswathy civilization and Sanskrit? The Sindhu-Saraswathy civilization is supposed to have used a language without swara chinhas (symols indicating vowel sounds). when English originated). called Purandara) or that he has tried . but I am not fool enough to co-related the language of Sindhu-Saraswathy civilization in any way to English which is one of 5th or 10th century origin (I don’t know. (there could many others as well I am not an expert on such subjects). as I am supporter of Asuras (Tantrics) as well. Jain.evidence (as told by historians and archeologists) for the continuous continuation of several of that practices (bricks. astrology. rather than start doing story making for history. Do you have any clue. then it is better to go up to there are say – rest I don’t know. type of jewelries. or how to protect a Palmyra leaf. baseless story making should be avoided. I am speaking of something and you seem to be speaking something entirely different. I did not understand much of your mail. 14) We are astrologers and better talk about the subject we know. or the worst even the outlines or system used by his own subject! Hurah…! To all…! :)) P. it certainly precedes Mahabharat (about 5000 years ago) and all the things I have talked in my earlier mail belonged to these times-pre varna days through Mahabharat times. The asuras became brahmins and the fighter followers of Indra turned out to be the ruler class or kstriyas. vrtra is an asura. And hence. Now by the time of these changes. So. Everyone agrees that in Vedic period. a conglomeration of panis from the vanquished society and the agriculturists from the society indra came to be called as Vaisyas and the rest of the people who are simply workers came to be called sudras. there is no comparison. in the pre caste days. during the Vedic times. One of them is Astrology. The purusha suktam describes the fighting between devas and the established society(read the townships or janapadas. astrology was never used for predictions or for casting horoscopes. Jyotisha has vividly described what kind of rains to expect (megha garbha sastra) depending upon the moment in which the clouds are "impregnated". No matter when Ramayan has taken place. the agriculture has set in and also. Whereas all the names.to kill successfully a brahmin kid like Vrtra who is also called Asura is also an irrefutable fact. the later stories always described the people from same families(belonging to these times) either as brahmanic or as Asuric depending whether the story teller liked them or not. the astrology has concerned itself only with timing of ritualistic events. With the increase in population and number of trades and the flourishing of private property. That he has killed sachidevi's father. It also has started fixing muhurats for sowing the seeds and harvesting the growth. while the father of Vrtra is a brahmin. the agriculture needed to flourish and Jyotish was one of the tools to see that it flourished. Thus. sangam age. Hope you will recognize the difference in what I am talking and what you are talking. but her father who valiantly fought Indira to stop him from kidnapping her is an asura. Pandit Arjun: Kishore ji and sreenadh ji both have given beautiful insights into the history of astrology. It was meant only for fixing Muhurtas. Thus. purely based on the movement of stars/planets. the jyotish has slowly started telling one's fortunes. events and times (such as sayana. there were indeed Vedas and good amount of knowledge but not in the way they existed today. while Sachi is variously described as a brahmin lady is also given in the puranas. Thus. But this has taken place prior to the Ramayan times. janma Nakshatra used to be of utmost importance and used to be the single . the people who were described as brahmins later belonged to the sect of Asuras. After the establishment of four fold society.purusha means the construction of pura or the society of the towns) and how this society was made a mincemeat in a long long sacrifice (read war) to create a new society based on the four Varnas. As I have said. the population has increased manifold. an Asura king. The changes in the society have changed the Vedas also and most of the sciences also have taken new shape. Sachi is a brahmin. Indus valley period etc) you have mentioned belonged to much later times to Mahabharat. all humans are affected by planets and not just Hindus in this part of the world. Does it not indicate that Sidereal predictive astrology existed in that period? Then why can't horoscopes . Due to expansion of all subjects. I too meant what you said about prediction based on stars. Due to the commercialization of remedies like worshipping shani deva with oil abhishekam and all other gods for ailments of malefics.deciding factor. not just Hindus since. purely based on the movement of stars/planets. so many Ayanamsas and so many dasha systems and yoga karaka under one system becoming a badhaka under another system. if one mixes astrology with Hindu mythology in which planets are painted as gods and demons. intelligent people are putting more queries on this subject. . then Nakshatra chakra based? But then I read the following statement by you Quote Janma Nakshatra used to be of utmost importance and used to be the single deciding factor. However. astrology has become a scientific tool with various varga charts and dozens of new systems. Sreenadh: Thanks for the beautiful mail. Since planets and stars treat all humans equally (i think they are not made only for Hindus). which is a subject that deals with the movement of stars and planets. astrology was never used for predictions or for casting horoscopes. Through this group I wish to share or learn to present astrology as a subject for all humans. if a child is born in Jyeshta Nakshatra. Pandit Arjun: As mentioned in your concluding remark. his root family will be destroyed. If the same astrology is presented as a science based on astronomy. Unquote I felt like disagree only to this point since I have heard the Atharva veda sukta – "Jyeshtakhnam jato vichrtoremasya moolabarhanat paripahyanem" Meaning. Unquote I felt. might be you too mean what I said. astrology has been reduced to a WAY or FAITH ONLY FOR HINDUS. his elders (brothers and sisters) will not live long. It was meant only for fixing Muhurtas. If a child is born in Moola Nakshatra. surely it gains popularity in all nations. Quote Everyone agrees that in Vedic period. let us strive to PRESENT ASTROLOGY as a subject for all humans instead of just Hindus. Due to so many systems of casting horoscopes. they sound irrational and illogical which is why people are losing faith in astrology.If not Rasi chakra based. this rejection has become so strong that it came to be believed that Kapila’s propositions themselves are nireeswara in nature. Both the greatness and bane of the Indian sciences/thinking is that every concept is shown to be having its roots in spirituality and every science. I prescribe them more secular remedies such as from Lalkitab or stones. has indeed propounded an iswareeya sankhya. only because this has become a hurdle in practicing the medical sciences.Sreenadh: Quote Through this group I wish to share or learn to present astrology as a subject for all humans. the need to present a science secularly has been recognized long ago by the Doctors. all humans are affected by planets and not just Hindus in this part of the world. The early Indian medical and surgical sciences had their conceptual roots in sankhya tattwa of Kapila. the later proponents have totally rejected concept of iswara. has indeed propounded an iswareeya sankhya.. If this is supposed to be true. who resist the Hindu rituals to be prescribed as remedies. who is recognized as one of the avaatars of the Visnu. I conclude that we should present Astrology as a Secular science. For eg. Unquote That was beautiful. Kishore Patnaik: Dear arjun punditji. Astrology is a spiritual science and it is not really possible to present it as an absolute secular science. who is recognized as one of the avaatars of the Visnu. While Kapila. But an attempt has to be made to present it to everyone. The early Indian medical and surgical sciences had their conceptual roots in sankhya tattwa of Kapila. I have made one Christian do tarpanas to his father. Sreenadh: Quote In fact. they would have become the masters of archery! In fact. Sankara has disliked kapila so much that whenever the word sankhya has come in Gita. Unfortunately. albeit with out the usual parapharnalia of reciting mantras etc. the later proponents have totally . He found that he is able to accomplish what he wanted to for a very long time . irrespective of their dharma. then why should people like Arjuna and Karna had to toil so much to practice archery? All that they needed to do was to sit in one corner of the gurukul and memorize the necessary mantras and bang. Yet. Namaskar. From what you said. Even a violent science like Archery has been connected to spirituality. Every powerful missile has been assigned a mantra and is supposed to be presided by a deity. he has interpreted it to mean the wisdom and not the school of philosophy proposed by Kapila! My clients include Christians and Jains. Often. While Kapila. not just Hindus since. the need to present a science secularly has been recognized long ago by the Doctors.build a houseimmediately after he has done such a remedy!!! All said and done. its base in Vedas. I agree with it completely. . and it could be considered that both of them should be considered together and both have rulership over Cn and Le.

Sankara has disliked kapila so much that whenever the word sankhya has come in Gita. this rejection has become so strong that it came to be believed that Kapila’s propositions themselves are nireeswara in nature. and I agree with it. Opposite signs! 2) About Moolatrikona * Trikona means triangle We could see 3 sets of triangles in this case. Combining them the middle point falls on 21 deg Ar.

Ma (lord of Ar and Sc) and Ju (lord of Pi and Sg) gets exalted in opposite signs Cp and Cn. he has interpreted it to mean the wisdom and not the school of philosophy proposed by Kapila!!

The word has almost the same meaning as Malefic. Quote Wonder why water signs get totally left out of the Mooltrikonas? Unquote Would you like have a small input? Let us consider the Moolatrikona and the Kroora /Soumya classification.. wowed. Now you debate.. Now you debate. Kroora = Cruel.. and find new logics.Is that not interesting... nicely balanced. Moolatrikona means root triangle. Vinita Kumar: Quote Minimum inputs. without debating and finding logic? The emerging rhythms and patterns of this knowledge are truly amazing! The 4 signs that get left out of exaltation and debilitation are again opposite to each other and perhaps nicely balanced Gemini (Air) . gases) and rock (earth) with very little water? Also whether exaltation/debilitation and mooltrikona of Rahu-Ketu were later developments and therefore questionable? Sreenadh: Quote The emerging rhythms and patterns. Does they indicate the placement of planets at some far ancient time? Why this triangles should become root (base) for these grahas? Are they stronger while in these triangles? * Trikona means 5th house Trikona = Trine = 5th house.. Minimum inputs.

This indicate great destruction to army of both sides] I believe that the above quote is referring to earlier mentioned upagraha Dhooma sputa (Dhooma ketu) itself and not to some graha placed in Pushya star. 3 Chapter] The quote is very informative and gives us much info about the astrological understanding of Mahabharata period. Let me state what I could grasp from these quotes Vishvag vatascha vayvugra rajo napyupa santyati Abhikshnam kampyate bhoomir arka rahurupaiti cha [Fearsome storm was happening all around. The word Pushya could be a typo and it could be "Taksha" (meaning Chitra Nakshatra) referring to Dhooma Sputa placed in Chitra Nakshatra itself. whether exaltation-debilitation and mooltrikona of Rahu-Ketu were later developments and therefore questionable? article is about the planetary position given in Mahabharata.Libra = Moolatrikona of Ve = Soumya sign = Ve is Benefic Sagittarius = Moolatrikona of Ju = Soumya sign = Ju is Benefic Aquarius = Moolatrikona of Sa = Kroora sign = Sa is Malefic Isn’t that nice?

They both aspect Saturn (placed in Virgo)] The above quote clearly indicate that both Venus and Paridhi are placed in the same sign Meena (Pisces) and Venus is placed in the last quarter of Purva Bhadrapada Nakshatra which Paridhi is placed in Uttara Bhadrapada Nakshatra.e.this is a concept well-known from Vedic period onwards.

Rahu and Ketu) are afflicting both Sun and Moon (placed in Rohini Nakshatra). agneya graha) is placed in Jyeshta Nakshatra the deity of which is Indra] It is clear that Ketu is placed in Scorpio in Jyeshta Nakshatra. The ruling deity of Jyeshta Nakshatra is Indra . Since the calculation of the position of 5 Upagrahas (viz. From the previous discussion it is evident that the astrological planets are placed as follows – 1) Sun : in Rohini in Taurus (Eclipsed) 2) Moon : in Rohini in Taurus 3) Mars : in Makha in Leo (Retrograde) 4) Mercury: position not given.e. If Ketu is in Jyeshta Nakshatra. if we add 4-13-0 with Sun's longitude we will get Dhooma sputa. 1o deg i.27-00 Thus it is evident that Parithi is in Pisces. Indra dhanus and Upaketu are not given. But we find that even though in MBh it is said that Paridhi is in Uttara Bhadrapada as per the above calculation it is in Revati in Pisces itself. if we subtract 6 signs from Vyatipata sputa we will get Parithi (Parivesha) sputa.(11 . As per BPHS. BPHS states that. Thus Paridhi sputa = (5-27-00) . The position of other Upagrahas such as Vyatipata. Now as the next step we need to verify whether the position of Upgrahas given MBh is in tune with the calculation method provided for these Upagrahas in BPHS. For this let us ASSUME that the Sun as stated in Rohini is around 3.(6-0-0) = 11 . Thus Indradhanus sputa = (12-0-0) . if we subtract Paridhi sputa from 12 signs. Then again to verify whether the whole calculation we did was correct or not. then the contradiction disappears and the MBh statement and the real possibility agrees on each other.20 deg in Rohini Nakshara. Earlier we interpreted that it means "Venus in Purva bhadrapada is placed along with Paridhi (in the same sign Pisces) which in turn is placed in Uttara bhadrapada Nakshatra".5) Jupiter : in Sravana in Capricorn (Retrograde) 6) Venus: in Purva Bhadrapada in Pisces 7) Saturn: in Uttara phalguni in Virgo 8) Ketu: in Jyeshta in Scorpio 9) Rahu : in Rohini in Taurus Apart from the above planets the position of following Upagrahas are also given 1) Dhooma : in Chitra in Libra 2) Paridhi : possibly in Uttara Bhadrapada in Pisces. at the end of 3rd Nakshatra pada in Rohini) As per BPHS. But it seems that possibly the above statement had the meaning "Venus in Purva bhadrapada is placed along with Paridhi (in the same sign Pisces) which in turn is placed on the right side of Venus". Thus. or the quote just means "on Right side of Venus in Pisces sign". Dhooma sputa = (1-20-00) + (4-13-00) = 6-03-00 Thus it is evident that Dhooma sputa falls in Chitra as mentioned in MBh in Libra.e. As per BHPS. we will get Indradhanus sputa. As per BPHS. But it is not mentioned in MBh. Thus Upaketu sputa = (0-03-00) + (0-17-00) = 0-20-00 Thus it is evident that Upaketu is in Bharani Nakshatra in Aries.27-00) = 0-03-00 Thus it is evident that Indradhanus is in Aswini Nakshatra in Aries. Later it will become clear that Upaketu is also mentioned in MBh. Thus - . If we assume this meaning. if we subtract Dhooma sputa from 12 signs we will get Vyatipata sputa. Possibly the word "Uttara" in this quote does not mean 'Uttara bhadrapada' but instead 'right side'. That is then Sun's sputa = 1-20-0 (20 deg in Taurus.(6-03-00) = 5-27-00 Thus it is evident that Vyatipata is in Chitra Nakshatra in Virgo. Thus Vyaptipata sputa = (12-0-0) . As per BPHS. But it is not mentioned in MBh. if we add 17 deg in Indradhanus sputa we will get Upaketu sputa. if we add one sign to Upketu sputa we will get Sun's sputa itself. This rises the question whether our interpretation of the MBh statement "Uttare to parikramya sahitaH". the only problem is that astrological knowledge will get revealed to us if and only if we are ready to approach MBh from an astrological perspective in receptive mode . Possibly in Taurus 5) Jupiter : in Sravana in Capricorn (Retrograde) 6) Venus: in Purva Bhadrapada in Pisces 7) Saturn: in Uttara phalguni in Virgo .Parasara. Sunil Bhattacharjya ji states – “I think Rahu and Ketu were known as Swarabhanu in the Veda.we cannot be rigid and say that only the name "Rahu" would be used to refer to Rahu.Sun's sputa (Sun's longitude) = (0-20-00) + (1-00-00) = 1-20-00 This is exactly the number from which we started the calculation. Since I want to guide this discussion in this direction further let us consider some more astrological quotes from Bhishma Parva to verify whether the planetary position arrived at by us in our previous mails is correct or not. and had became an extensively full-fledged system before MBh period itself. the father knew astrology well and wrote astrological texts then naturally his son Vyasa who wrote MBh must have mastered the same from his father Parasara. The name "Rahu" was used in the Mahabharata” I agree with him. exaltation-debilitation (Venus is in exaltation and Jupiter in debilitation) was known. 4) The signs were well known and the Sign of Leo (The sign of Siva.there SHOULD NOT be any inconsistency and all astrological statements provided by MBh Bhishma parva in this section should be in tune with the planetary position we have already derived. the sign of Sun) was also called by the name Brahma Rasi (sign of creation) during MBh period. 5) All the 5 upagrahas (which are just mathematical sensitive points used only for astrological predicative purpose) mentioned in Parasara's BPHS such as Dhooma. There is no wonder in it . indicating that astrology flourished well. But. Rahu and many more synonyms of Rahu could have been used and can be expected in texts like MBh . Let us revise our understanding about the planetary position under discussion again 1) Sun : in Rohini in Taurus (Eclipsed) 2) Moon : in Rohini in Taurus 3) Mars : in Makha in Leo (Retrograde) 4) Mercury: position not given. A prejudiced mind becomes blind to possibilities. Further it is the supporting evidence one provides that makes a derivation valuable or dependable. aspect.ready to accept the innovative astrological info it may provide to us. ensuring that the calculation we did is correct. Swarbhanu. :) Therefore actually we can EXPECT good amount of astrological references in MBh. Thus it becomes evident that 1) Predictive astrology was in use during MBh period 2) All the 7 grahas along with Rahu and Ketu was well known in MBh period 3) The concept such as Retrograde of planets. But if we approach MBh with the pre-defined notion that there is no astrology present in it or that Rasis cannot be present or mentioned in MBh and Vyasa did not knew about Rasis etc then certainly we are not going to find anything valuable. Parithi etc were well known even during MBh period. The point to remember is that . (in another quote it is mentioned that the current solar eclipse under discussion happened. And it is darkness due to eclipse of Sun. or in other words Viskaha was the rising Nakshatra and Scorpio the rising sign .8) Ketu: in Jyeshta in Scorpio 9) Rahu : in Rohini in Taurus Apart from the above planets the position of following Upagrahas are also given 1) Dhooma : in Chitra in Libra 2) Paridhi : on Right side of Venus in Pisces sign. sun set time. This solar eclipse happened just after 13 days (the day mentioned here is solar days) after Paurnami. * It is already clarified earlier that Jupiter is placed in Sravana Nakshatra in Capricorn and Saturn in Uttara phalguni nakshatra in Virgo.many worst things happening at the same time) Chandradityavubhau grastaveahna hi trayodasim Aparvani graham yatau prajasamkhayamischitaH [Both Moon and Sun are afflicted by (solar eclipse in Taurus) Rahu just 13 days after Paurnami (on which date a lunar eclipse happened). * The above quote considers Jupiter and Saturn as foundation for year (60 year cycle). With this much in mind let us consider the some more quotes from Bhishma parva that discuss the very same planetary position again. What the quote says is that both Satun and Jupiter are placed on near to (on both sides of) Visakha nakshatra (without any other planet in between). a mad monkey is drunk and at the same time bitten by a snake and a coconut falls on his at the same time as well! It is just like that . This is a special combination with its own result .i. In such condition the planets indicate the destruction of people ] The above quote indicates that the Tithi under discussion is Amavasi. since it the day on which Solar Eclipse happens. we got one more parameter. and also indicate that both of them stay in a sign for more than year. after a lunar eclipse just before 13 days on a Paurnami day) Asobhita disaH sarvaH pamsuvarshaiH samantataH Utpatamekha raudrascha ratrau varshanti sonitam .e. Possibly this points to the inherent understanding about Sign as well as 60 year Prabhavadi year names. earth-quake at the same time.

Lagna = in Visakha Nakshatra in Scorpio. in Revati Nakshatra. and the blood like rain since the atmosphere is covered with red dust and it is raining! (Some one says. If the above assumption about Lagna is correct.we may assume. Let us not erroniously assume from the above quote that both Jupiter and Saturn are placed in Visakha . then this means that the time under consideration is dusk. But another question comes to mind what is the importance of Visakaha at all for such a planetary combination? The only possible answer I could see is that .Lagna was in Visakaha. But then what is importance of Kartika Nakshatra? The importance of Kartika nakshatra is that as per mundane astrology Krittika indicate the areas like Kurukshetra (Indraprasta. indicating the great danger for the republics] Chaturdasim pancha dasim bhoota parva cha sodasim Imam tu nagigane ahamamavasyam trayodasmim Chandrasuryavubhai grahstavekamarsee trayodasim [Usually there is a difference of a fortnight between a Parnami and an Amavasi.

Then the text goes on to describe the various bad omens visible at that time. Upaketu is placed not in Kartika Nakshatra.

But this year just after 13 days (after Lunar eclipse). it indicate destruction to people. (In that previous Paurnami date a Lunar eclipse happened. Today Sun and Moon both are getting afflicted by Rahu. MBh states that it is due to this. As per Samhita jyotish. the meaning for some quotes mentioned in the above article will have to be corrected. 5) All the 5 upagrahas (which are just mathematical sensitive points used only for astrological predicative purpose) mentioned in Parasara's BPHS such as Dhooma. exaltation-debilitation (Venus is in exaltation and Jupiter in debilitation) was known. one needs no other tools except some software like JHora and understanding about the planetary positions discussed in MBh to do this) Please note that the above planetary position mentioned in the article mentioned above is not even this much approximately true for any other date between BC 5000 to AD 2000. The only date with maximum proximity to the given planetary position is the BC 5th century date itself and our understanding about the development of literary history in India can also provide evidence in support of this possibility. When I read this statement. Appendix (added on 20th April 2011): Today I happened to read a statement made by Chandrahari that the period of Mahabharata text creation could be around 4th century BC. Based on this realization. 4) The signs were well known and the Sign of Leo (The sign of Siva. I tried to see whether this planetary position is true to any date in 4th century BC or near to it. and it would be emphatically prove that 1) Predictive astrology was in use during MBh period 2) All the 7 grahas along with Rahu and Ketu was well known in MBh period 3) The concept such as Retrograde of planets. and should try to derive a coherent solution about which there is consensus among most of the major active members.Thus it is very evident that MBh is not speaking about some alien beliefs and systems but about systems and information that are well known to the Indian astrological community even today. aspect. indicating that astrology flourished well. To my surprise I found that the given planetary position of Mahabharata is true for 26th April -435!!! Or in other words the date around which this great epic text named Mahabharata got written is in 5th century BC!! This opens up a whole lot of study possibilities since now it can be verified that whether all the other planetary positions and indications given in MBh is true or not! (For example. and had became an extensively full-fledged . Parithi etc were well known even during MBh period. I am not saying that I have found some permanent solution to these astrological planetary position present at the time of MBh. the only major point I want to express is that we should be ready to accept innovative researches in this field in an open minded way. the sign of Sun) was also called by the name Brahma Rasi (sign of creation) during MBh period. No one desires to have a debilitated planet and certainly having anything “neecha” implies that there is some type of handicap situation. What happens to this mars if the karma in 10 is not upto the mark for 3. energy and strength and rules athletics.6.

For girls it becomes a sure-shot certificate for losing points in matchmaking. But not all is neech with a neech mars – Mars. How can this be the case? Do these natives get an innate desire to strengthen that energy in the chart and focus their attention and actions on building up the areas related to mars’s significations..)

Neech position arouses fear and worry in the minds of most individuals. Any planet backed by a benefic and strong mars. in its friends sign cancer. What if mars debilitates in 8H.

Let us try to seek answers to some of these questions. Please Note: While it is difficult to make blanket statements about one situation in a chart without COMPLETE ANALYSIS of an individual’s ENTIRE CHART. And it might be dangerous and misleading to take one planet and blow it up as we need to take many factors into consideration we are here trying to see common factors that have been attributed by a neech mars across the board. A planet in debility, is not necessarily ruined for all of its significations. We get instances of both who have been badly affected by such a mars and also some who have risen in there fields because of such a mars. Which factors would differentiate these positions? I would request all the members to give there opinions on debilitated mars, supported by data so that we make our understanding about the red planet a little more clearer. To begin with, this is what some of the classics say: Hora Sara: Mangal is strong, when he wins a war between Grahas, while in retrograde motion, when brilliant (i. e. not combust), when in Makar, Kumbh, Meen, in his southerly course, during night, in his own Amsh, in his own Rasi, on Tuesday and in the Dreshkan ruled by him. He has full strength, when on the meridian, or Karm Bhava. He is strong in the beginning of a Rasi, weak in the middle portion and moderately strong at the end. Jatak Bharnam says that when mars is in cancer, the native lives in the house of some other man, is extremely wretched, devoid of intelligence, oppressed by his enemies, remains unhappy due to quarrels made by his powerful wife. The author of Jatak Bharnam notes that the native is of irritating nature, becomes angry very soon when something undesirable happens to him. But he is ambitious, courageous, fearless and industrious. He does indefatigable labour to keep his family happy. Saravali: If Mars is in Cancer at birth, the subject will like living in others houses, be deformed, sick, will attain riches through agriculture, will enjoy royal food and robes during childhood, will eat food in others houses, will become wealthy through the source of water, be repeatedly anguished and be always distressed. Since mars debilitates in the fourth house of kaalpurush, this is what Mars does in the Fourth House: Bhrigu Sutras: There will be adversities in the family of the native causing domestic disturbances. The father may die in the eighth year of the native’s and the mother of the native will always be in bad health. The native will enjoy good health but will have no land of his own, he will be poor and live in a dilapidated house. He will have inimical relations with his near relatives, will live away from his native place and will be without proper clothes. If Mars is associated with Mercury (his enemy), the native may not have a house of his own but may have to live in somebody else’s house. If Mars is in his sign of debilitation (Cancer) and is associated with a malefic or malefics or the lord of the 8th house, the native will suffer the loss of his mother early in his life. If Mars is in his own sign (Aries or Scorpio) or in his sign of exaltation (Capricorn) and is in conjunction with a benefic or is in a friendly sign, the native will own conveyances, lands and his mother will be long-lived. Phaldeepika: The native will be without mother (that is he will lose his mother in his early life), will be without friends, happiness, conveyances and lands. Saravali: The native will have no house, grains, proper clothes, relations, conveyances will have no happiness and will have to live in a house not his own. Chamatkar Chintamani – Inspite of the other planets being favourable in the horoscope, if Mars is in the fourth, the native will be deprived of happiness from father, mother, wife and children (in other words his domestic life will be unhappy). But the native gets land and clothes by the favour of the king (Government). As per astrological classics, the following are the Vasya signs. Sign Aries Taurus Gemini Cancer Leo Virgo Libra Scorpio Sagittarius Capricorn Aquarius Pisces Vasya Sign Leo and Scorpio Cancer and Libra Virgo Scorpio and Sagittarius Libra Gemini and Pisces Virgo and Capricorn Cancer Pisces Aquarius and Aries Aries Capricorn What is the logic behind this concept? Let us try to understand. For Aries, Leo and Scorpio are Vasya Signs. Why? Leo - the lord of Leo gets exalted in Aries. Scorpio - Aries and Scorpio are ruled by the same planet. Rule : (1) If any other planet gets exalted in the sign then the sign ruled by that planet could be a Vasya sign. Rule : (2) If the lord of 2 signs are the same, the second sign could be a Vasya sign for the first and vice-versa. For Taurus, Libra and Cancer are Vasya signs. Why? Cancer - Rule (1) applies here. Lord of Cancer Moon is exalted in Taurus. Libra - Rule (1) applies here. Taurus and Libra are ruled by the same planet Ve. For Gemini, Virgo is Vasya sign. Why? Virgo - Rule (2) applies here. Gemini and Virgo are ruled by the same planet. For Cancer, Scorpio and Sagittarius are Vasya signs. Why? Scorpio - Is there any connection? The lord of Cancer gets debilitated in Scorpio!! Both Cancer and Scorpio are signs that represent reptiles - i.e. Sareesripa signs. The lord of Scorpio gets debilitated in Cancer. So there is a very strong connection between the two signs. Rule : (3) The sign in which the lord of the first considered sign gets debilitated could be a Vasya sign. (Here Mo gets debilitated in Scorpio) Sagittarius - Rule (1) applies here. The lord of Sagittarius gets exalted in Cancer. For Leo, Libra is Vasya sign. Why? Lira - Rule (3) applies here. Lord of Leo Sun gets debilitated in Leo. For Virgo, Gemini and Pisces are Vasya Signs. Why? Gemini - Rule (2) applies. Gemini and Virgo are ruled by the same planet Me. Pisces - Rule (3) applies. Lord of Virgo Me gets debilitated in Piaces. For Libra, Virgo and Capricorn are Vasya signs. Why? Virgo - Rule (3) applies. Lord of Libra gets debilitated in Virgo. Capricorn - Rule (1) applies. Lord of Capricorn Sa gets exalted in Libra. For Scorpio, Cancer is the Vasya sign. Why? Aquarius and Aries is Vasya sign.Cancer . The classics talk about signs which have some kind of mutual attraction. For Capricorn. Put in other words. just by seeing him/her. Why? Aquarius . i. Lesson to remember: The sages never tell a thing without reason and Logic!! We just need to search and find it out!! DW: What does this posting tell us in terms of interpretation? What can be learnt from this posting? Is there a spiritual revelation? pl.Rule (2) applies. Because of this Vasya relation between the Lagna of the girl and boy. Sreenadh: Thanks.Rule (1) applies.Rule (3) applies. clarify. Aries . Why? Sagittarius . Pisces is Vasya sign. The lord of Aries gets exalted in Capricorn. For Aquarius. The lord of Aquarius gets debilitated in Aries. Vasya Signs. For Sagittarius.Rule (2) applies.e. Why? Pisces . Lord of Scorpio Ma gets debilitated in Cancer. Sagittarius and Pisces are ruled by the same planet Ju. the people born in Vasya signs (Asc or Moon sign)of each other gets attracted to each other. mutual attraction. Vasya between the Moon signs of girl and boy are considered. 3) In selecting your girl friend.Rule (3) applies. It is the inherent quality of the horoscope and the sign in which the person is born is causing this attraction. For me vasya rearranged comes to vyasa and savya. This concept is normally used while horoscope matching for marriage. Why? Aquarius .Vasya means.Rule (2) applies. Fro Pisces. Sagittarius is the Vasya sign. The concept of Vasya (Mutual attraction) can also be used: 1) In Marriage compatibility (This is the traditional use) 2) In selecting your business partner. Capricorn and Aquarius are ruled by the same planet Sa. Vasya primarily indicates the attraction we feel towards a person. even before knowing his/her abilities and qualities. 4) In selecting friends etc . Coming to our subject of discussion. Pisces and Sagittarius are ruled by the same planet. either sexual attraction or friendship. Aries is Vasya sign. Vinita Kumar: The subject of astrology excites me but I get very confused about the basics. First of all let me clarify one thing. but the result of our thought. why Vasya relationship is ascribed to these signs only. we can check the horoscope to verify that. Why is it that I miss the big picture .or I'm too old to start acquiring this kind of knowledge. even though some relations exist between them. I hope. When I tried to understand the logic behind Vasya signs. But if we have some real relations. Why? Sreenadh: This is one of the mails I was longing to see when I posted that message on Vasya signs. Applying the 2 rules that Sreenadh mentioned (and expanding the rule of exaltation to cover debilitation also) I have the following questions: For Aries . One more thing. whether this principle of Vasya is there at work causing the bond.something like trying to solve a difficult puzzle till I get the solution. these are NOT the rules that are given in classics. would be useful also in understanding the importance the great seers gave to the concept of Exaltation and Debilitation.Of course we are not selecting friends/business_partners/girl_friends etc after horoscope matching. having this sound and useful concept in our wallet of astrological knowledge.{By the same logic. and helping us to strengthen the relation. Yes. But following the same rules why should Cancer and Capricorn not be VAsya signs since the ruler of Aries gets debilitated in Cancer and exalted in Capricorn. The earlier message on Vasya signs was a simplified version. just indicating only the most important rules. for instance) Aries is the Vasya sign for Capricorn and Aquarius and Libra is the Vasya sign for Taurus) For any Vasya sign at least 2-3 additional signs meet the rules but they are not the Vasya signs. In the same spirit I tried to find the logic behind the Vasya signs and got even more confused. though simple. you guessed it. Sometimes I think I should just give it up . :) Congratulations first for logically trying to analyze and study things in a systematic way.Leo and Scorpio are the Vasya signs following the 2 rules. and a sign gets accepted as a Vasya sign if at least according to 2 of those rules that sign becomes a Vasya sign!!! This well explains the fact why some of the signs are not considered as Vasya signs as well. . but 5 rules. I found not just 3 rules.or have to struggle so much??? But maybe I find all this struggle fun too . Many famous astrologers like Sanjay Rath. Madhu Nair etc predicted the outcome fairly correctly. The above narration by Jyotish Shisya was probably describing the above situation in a humorous way] questions in *sequence* . pathetically failed in those chance predictions. He succumbed to his wounds 13 days later.and is really good!! PS: Read it in the light of discussions on the chart of Pramod Mahajan and about the validity of astrology. A crow came up and perched on the parapet wall near to where I was sitting. (The number of astrologers who might try to take advantage of even such tragic situations are many in number. [Editor: On 22 April 2006. Actual situation: The milkman came and the speed post didn't arrive as of now. But such incidents also help us to identify the usefulness of the mind made astrological theories in practical situations). in the early morning. Sreenadh: It is the description of just an incident but the story seems to hide a lot of meaning . Today I was a little later than usual and wondering if I had missed the milkman's knock. Into my mind came the following : (1) Will the milkman come to deliver the milk? Crows response: three caws (2) Will I get the expected speed post today? Crows response: two caws The crow then flew away. The art of deciphering nimittas or sakuna sastra is an invaluable tool for the Jyotisha. then only the true beauty of the story will be revealed. The Promod Mahajan incident itself seems to be one of the nimittas we (the astrologers) should observe.Hari (Jyotisa Shisya): Nowadays. Is it a coincidence that YES has three letters while NO has two letters? Who is more intuitive? The crow or the fellow sitting on the porch? Jyotish lesson: Make it a habit to observe acutely what is happening around you and try to decipher the meaning of what you observe relative to the situation. Pramod Mahajan was shot at and fatally injured by his brother Pravin Mahajan over a family dispute. After the news about Pramod Mahajen being shot was out. numerous famous and infamous astrologers started predicting about whether he will live or die – taking advantage of the 50-50 situation. while some like KN Rao. I go outside and sit on the porch to enjoy the cool morning air. Yes. I would like to learn them also. Prasna Koutuka gives omens to be observed related to touching of body parts by the qurent. I did not read or learn them as I did not find any classics on them.it is an omen The classification of omens which depends on various basic principles itself is a big subject to deal with. The astrologer is supposed to predict and for that he is collecting all the tools he could. So the available ancient classics that deal with this subject would be samhita texts like . it is a subject dealt with in Samhitas. Becoming serious. For them the concept while considering animal behavior etc was. to understand the animal behavior. You said: Quote If you could refer any classics mentioning these shakuna shastra or any old books on how to read from animal hints. "it is important are you able to predict future events accurately and how you do it is not important"! But remember.it is an omen Before earth quake the animals react .g. i would like to learn them also. Harita samhita. If you could refer any classics mentioning these sakuna sastra or any old books on how to read from animal hints.Pandit Arjun: Even though these sakuna sastras are interesting. This system is very old as is evident from the statement of 'Vishnugupta' (chanakya) in Chanakya sutra: "Upastita vinasa prakrityakarena karyena drisyate" Meaning. whetherthat is related to planets and Rasi Chakra or not. now coming to the subject of 'Sakuna' and 'Nimitta' (If you are one a travel the Nimittas that you observe in the start of the journey . By the way we value the statement of Vishnugupta (chanakya) because he is the reputed author of a reputed astrological classic called `Vishnugupta Hora'. situation and the possible outcome of the treatment. but due to the hidden double meaning and anomaly. where is astrology in it. I here you ask. Mihira in Mahayatra (also known as Brihat Yogayatra) asks us to study the animal behavior and nature from direct observation. Sreenadh: It not due to the reference to sakuna sastras that I presented that mail. Unquote If want to be systematic and authentic. Texts like Kerala prasna samgraha.with approx 100 m . Maha yatra etc. Prasna texts like Prasnamaraga. it is better to read modern texts on the subject and depend on direct observation and study of animals and nature. it is really an easy task for an astrologer. Samasa samhita.: Before rain we see the clouds . This is specially important in Ashtamangala Prasna etc.is termed Sakuna and all omens are generally termed 'Nimitta'). If predictions can be made on the caws of a crow and barks of a dog and the fall of a lizard. In texts like Siva sworodaya and Agni purana omens judged from breath pattern are mentioned.Brihat samhita. E. Even Ayurvedic classic texts like Ashtanga Hridaya also discusses omens that would help the doctor to judge the disease. this concept is JUST . Prasnanushtana padhati etc also refer to various omens related to Prasna in an elaborate manner. the future possibility of destruction or bad out comes would be indicated by the natural omens. It is in a better damaged state similar to the Jataka stream of astrology at present.. these people of the south India. astrological knowledge of zodiac and planets.. of omens. many superstitions all getting used WITH THE AIM OF PREDICTING THE FUTURE in this branch astrology.. it is really an easy task for an astrologer. before hundreds of years.

In a parallel universe called Kerala (with an indecipherable and cumbersome language 'Malalayalam'). and give us clues about the future possibilities which helps us in prediction. body language. animal behavior. He is the wise man who is there to say what he saw and heard to others. So he immediately asked "Did you ate grass yesterday?". He observed the smell and presence of Jackfruit near to the bed of the patient. Unquote No it is wrong. to understand the world around us in a better way. have started copying old Sanskrit texts into their regional scripts. so he looked around for omens. so that it would be beneficial to them. I hope the above references will be sufficient to give you a start on the subject. Same is story of and the study of the system of "Omen observation". breath pattern. hundreds of beliefs.. Wisely and efficiently using and understanding this system is one of the hardest tasks! I have heard a story related to observation of a Nimitta by an Ayurvedic doctor.PART of the big Nimitta system and not a rule that depict the WHOLE Nimitta system. so that everything will reflect in us. climate. Souvik Datta: This reminds me of the string theory on quantum physics.  He is a person who see .which others can not see (Even in day to day life) -He is a person who hear .

We could find knowledge related to Nature. psychology. and from that omen observed that eating of too much jackfruit was the cause of indigestion. but in a different mould. It is the ancient mother of several streams of knowledge. with that grace let us be with it. and those texts become extinct in North India but still many references and slokas are still available in these regional scripts! . PS:  The astrologer is like a mirror who reflects the nature and the qurent himself. We should have to look at the subject of omens in a new light. Another day the in the absence of the guru the Sishya had to visit a patient with the same problem. do you exist in parallel universes?  Sreenadh: Lol. Quote If predictions can be made on the caws of a crow and barks of a dog and the fall of a lizard.which others can not hear (Even in day to day life) Meaning he observes with attention and understands much more from what others too see and hear. May the grace of nature be with us. where an astrologer started speaking English recently only.. 'thought to be lost texts' in this collection. (http://groups. Somebody should conduct a search for 'Sanskrit astrological classics in regional scripts'.com/group/ancient_indian_astrology). But the Tamil Grandha lipi is an unexplored treasure! Many spend years to translate Sanskrit texts to Tamil Grandha lipi and as you may know Tamil is an older and ancient language than Malayalam. These scripts are – 1) Tamil Grandha lipi (Now only available in preserved texts in manuscript libraries) [Tamil is the language of the state 'Tamilnadu'] 2) Malayalam Grandha lipi (This later become the slandered script of Malayalam) [Malayalam is the language of the state 'Kerala'] Malayalam Grandha lipi become Malayalam and maybe because of that many ancient Sanskrit slokas and sloka references are available in this language and texts. The areas this thread pointedto but left unexplored re –  Analyzing instant coffee like new born theories getting tested in practical contexts  More about the theoretical foundations of Sakuna or Nimitta Sastra  Exploring the subject of ancient scripts and languages further [This is a conversation record write-up prepared based on a thread happened in AIA Yahoo Group. becoming visible to all. Grandha lipi means a script that was created to write Sanskrit in a script that resembles regional scripts (with less alphabets)of Kerala and Tamilnadu. there is a possibility that this is the same situation with all the other regional scripts as well. we many find many.popularly known as 'Grandha lipi' or 'Grandha script'. Orisa etc new knowledge and lost texts may spring and rise to their feet. Please note that. [Editor: The thread died there. The astrological knowledge in this language is already explored although the fruits are not yet completely presented to the world. many points from the original discussion might have been omitted here to make this readable] [Editor: This conversation deal with 2 methods used by astrologers to understand and reveal – What the prasna is about? The first method is based on a quote from Prasnamarga and the second is based on a quote from Brihat Jataka by Varaha mihira. Then from Southern states and from states like Kashmir. possibly because Souvik datta or any one else didn’t knew much about such lost languages and civilizations especially connected to South India. Heading is given to identify the sections that deals with these methods] Method . even though I am able to notice this regarding Malayalam and Tamil. but the manuscripts libraries (all over India) have thousands of 'Grandha lipi' texts preserved with them! Who knows.caused by language development and its history. I think.They felt it difficult to write Sanskrit and have created 2 scripts . It is another treasure for we children to play with .1 Sreenadh: In Prasnamarga it is said that "if a person with true inquisitiveness is approaching an astrologer. then the astrologer should tell him about problem he is facing and should suggest the appropriate .yahoo. Now nobody reads and uses 'Tamil Grandha lipi'. In 4th. usually a person approaches an astrologer and just says : "I want to cast a prasna. Now the question is where to look . The sloka is like this: Aprishtatha prishtatho va jinchasyoresya kasyachil Hora Kendra Trikonebhya Subhasubha Phalam Vadeth Actually this sloka is not of Prasnamarga..the one from Prasnamarga.. but of Vasishta Hora. Yes. Hora is the name for Lagna (Asc) or Half of a sign. then what to do? Read on the sloka. even if he asks or not. it seems to be simple." !!!! And it becomes the responsibility of the astrologer to decipher: 1) What the prasna is about? 2) What is the possible solution for the problem faced by the qurent? Yes. and also about the accuracy of horary astrology!! How the learned astrologers solve this situation? Do you want to know? Then read on – There are 2 slokas (good and authentic) that help the traditional astrologer to predict what the qurent is thinking about or what the query is about. in 7th or in 10 ? The traditional answer to this question is first in 10th.. if he is presenting the query by himself? In places like Kerala... The author of Prasnamarga has just quoted (included) this sloka from Vasishta Hora as evident from the next sloka – "Vasita vachanadasmath.. Since Rishi Vasishta said this and also me (author of Prasnamarga). KENDRA AND TRIKONA. then the qurent is seeking answer to the things indicated by that placement of that particular planet! If there is no planet in Lagna. Kendra means 4th 7th and 10th Houses/Signs from Lagna. if there is any planet in the Lagna. and it seems that there is no secret hiding behind. the meaning Hora=Lagna is the apt one.solution". One of them is from Prasnamarga and the other is from Varaha Hora.. If somebody approaches the astrologer with curiosity. if there is no planet in Lagna.. There for in essence it means."Hora -> Kendra->" Yes. the astrologer should give predictions to him. What is "Hora"? "Horeti legman Bhavanasyachardham" (Varaha hora) – Meaning. since Rishi Vasishta told this secret and author of Prasnamarga (Edakkad Nambootiri) supported it. What is that? The advice by Vasishta is that prediction should be based on "Hora Kendra Trikonebhya". then look for the placement of planets in Kendra. BASED ON HORA. what the qurent is thinking about. as is known to all traditional astrologers. For our above sloka.. the sloka gets double authenticity!! What is the meaning of that sloka? Let me quote it again: "Aprishtatha prishtatho va jinchasyoresya kasyachil Hora Kendra Trikonebhya Subhasubha Phalam Vadeth" Meaning... It is real challenge!! A challenge towards the capability of the astrologer. In this mail I will explain the first one . Why? Because if you look in th ." Meaning. NO! It is not like that! There is lot to explain a SECRET behind. But how? How should we (astrologers) know.. Yes. then the query is related to that placement! If there is no planet in 10th as well. If there is a planet in 9th then the prasna is related to that. Kendra and Trikona. That means 9th is stronger trikona than 5th and so we have to look for the placement of any planet in 9th first! Now you can say that. Now what to do if there is no planet in Lagna as well as 10th. Probe it from all sides using logic and examples so that the discussions could flourish revealing new knowledge and understanding. and considering the indications supplied by both of them come to a conclusion. thirsty for much more :) Student Always Sreenadh: Don't agree so easily Souvik ji. to check how much it becomes true in his own experience. then what to do? Then there is no point in that prasna. you will see the statement "Pradabala Utharotharam". I think at least for some the method is clear by now. Indications the strength order 10>7>4. The learned astrologers use this method (the method described earlier). seems to be a very useful and dependable one. I will explain the other method in another mail. The statement "Prabala Utharotharam" applies here as well. Yes. That means 7th is stronger Kendra than 4th. the secret is not complete. if not look in 4th. Now. then look in 7th to see whether there is any planet in it. If 9th is vacant and if there is a planet in 5th then the prasna is related to that. If there is no planet in Lagna. Souvik Datta: th Bravo! Bravo! Indeed hats off to Sreenadh ji! Beautiful theory. even if you are feeling it is correct. there also you can look for the bad placement of Lagna lord first. and the one given in Varaha hora together. if there is no planet in Kendra. if there is no planet in Lagna and Kendra (10-7-4) then look for planets in 9th or 5th. concluding from the fact that hundreds of traditional astrologers are using it successfully (along with some more complementary theories) to answer the question that raises in their mind : "What this man (qurent) wants to ask?" . 7 and 4th? Look what the sloka says? "Hora -> Kendra->Trikonebhya" Yes. Somebody can come forward with examples. from Varaha Hora) that is used for the same purpose (i. we have to look for the placement of planet in Trikona. Till then. trustworthy and dependable one. If there is no planets in Lagna. and in the same way a theory should find its success only after much logical probing and experimentation. meaning 5th and 9th. There exists 1 more method (as told earlier. Here the theory put forward by Rishi Vasishta. since the person is in an utterly problematic unsolvable situation. and even the guidance by the astrologer would be of no use to him. But still. then it becomes perfect. let us experiment with this method.Laghu parasari. here also where to look? In 5th or 9th. Of course. participating in real battles makes the warrior perfect. and 10th is stronger Kendra than 7th. locating the underlying problem that caused the qurent to approach the astrologer). then if there is a planet in 10th house. I see it working right in front of my eyes! Thirsty for more Sreenadh ji. So look at the 10th house first.e. Even if much trained. Meaning for Kendras the strength increases in the order 4th->7th->10th. It is 1/9 th of a sign.Souvik Datta: The theory you have stated is indeed true as I tested it yesterday but again I agree that it is the exceptions that prove a theory. for which the above methods stands as examples. since the astrologer who uses is can consider "Sign-House-Planet" Combination. shape and lakshana (nature of the native & significance of the amsa). Sreenadh: Navamsa is the 9th Varga. since. The same method could be applied to Chandra navamsa and the navamsa of all other planets.Planet" combination. and that is why the name Navamsa. and the second method gives prime importance to "Sign-Planet" combination. Navamsa = 1 division out of 9 divisions. Navamsa longitude = R x 9 Navamsa prediction is also based on the 7-fold system [I] Stana (Place) Saravali says – "Now I will say the lagna navamsa phala for signs starting from Aries. See the second method used by the traditional astrologers as well. the first method gives prime importance to "House. Yes. With lagna navamsa we should know the color. But important point is that we should know. This sloka indicates that – 1) Color (based on navamsa sign and navamsa lord) 2) Shape (Swaroopa and geography) 3) Nature (character attributes of the native) 4) Significance assigned to the navamsa . both of them are not that limited. Nava = 9 Amsa = Division. along with aspects always. how to follow the systematic thought sequence (logical systematic astrological thinking method) indicated by the Rishis. Use the 2 methods in a combined manner. Sreenadh: I am really happy to know that. then he would be – "stingy. small nose. This has 2 variations. to determine the stana phala for each navamsa several methods are used. As said earlier. . [No. Let us discuss the Shape (Swaroopa concept in detail). Here imaginary shape is assigned to individuals born in different navamsa of each rasi based on the navamsa number with in that sign. For example think that Ma is in the 5th navamsa of Aries (which falls in Leo) and Mo is in the 8th Navamsa of Virgo (which falls in Leo). rough sound. half closed eyes. short arms. wants to hurt others" says shadvarga phala prakash. [III] Graha (Planet) The combination (uti) of planet is considered in navamsa as well. One of them is assigning Swaroopa. not bold enough in taking decisions.Are the basic 4 methods used to extract the stana phala. assets and bank balance etc can be predicted. ii) Navamsa Swaroopa based on navamsa number This is another method of assigning navamsa Swaroopa. if a person is born in the first navamsa of any sign. Normal prediction (considering the mixing of significance) given for Ma-Mo combination can be given here as well. [II] Bhava (House) The house (from natal lagna) in which the navamsa falls. Also if we want to speak about expense then in which items the money would be spend would be indicated by the sign in which navamsa falls and the lord of it. Then there is a Ma-Mo combination in Leo in navamsa. But no predictions considering Ju-Ma or Ju-Mo should be given. Also think that Ju is in Leo. I am speaking about navamsa super imposed on natal chart and not about navamsa chart] But there are 2 other cute methods for place-planet prediction using navamsa. sinner. For example. since Ju is in sign and others are in navamsa. a slim body without handicaps". For example if the amsa of the 2nd lord is in 12th. [IV] Stana-Graha (Place-planet) The traditional astrologers use the "Asraya rasi phala (prediction for placement of planets)" told for planets in natal chart in navamsa as well. Don't think of navamsa chart. Saravali assumes/assigns such imaginary shape to the individuals born in all navamsas. This is one of the basic rules to be followed in prediction based on navamsa. i) Navamsa Swaroopa (assigning imaginary shape to the navamsa) Saravali says – "The person born in the first navamsa of Aries will have a face similar to ram. • The sign in which Su is posited • The sign in which Mo is posited • The sign in which Ju is posited . quadrupeds.i) Considering the House lord (House = Sign) Saravali says "Without considering the lordship of houses. ii) Navamsaka sign based prediction Sphujidwaja hora says – "Navamsaka in Aries sign (any planet placed in navamsa allotted for Aries sign) indicates. women. So Navamsa is Aries 3rd Navamsa and Navamsaka is Gemini. Ju and there amsakas falls in male signs then it would be a male birth". So it is a placeplanet prediction. See the difference in use of the these words as wellNavamsa = 1/9th of a sign Navamsaka = to which sign that 1/9th part is allotted. Taking another example from Varaha hora. Mihira says "If Lagna. in a presena if Su navamsaka is in Aries. Similarly prediction for all the other planets is also given. Su. land. While making Place-Planet predictions with Navamsa. wealthy people etc". For example. So take those words as having almost same meaning. Navamsaka in Tarus sign indicates. in Viyoni Janma chapter of Brihat Jataka. Shadvarga phalaprekash says – "If the navamsa of Su is in the house of Su itself then. Here Male/Female variation of sign is considered. we can not move even a single step forward in prediction". The only extra thing being that it is looked though a new dimension. gold etc if Ma is strong. If Su is in Aries 9 deg. then that sun could indicate gold. but don't get confused. In which sign that sun is placed is not important here. These words are at times used almost in a similar fashion as well. he would be wealthy and live a good life. Moon. then Su in Aries 3rd Navamsa and the Navamsaka falls in Gemini. (in which sign that 1/9th part falls). let us think of the sloka "Ojarkshe purushamsakeshu…". Mihira also speaks about the Place-planet based prediction with navamsa. See to the fact that Mihira is speaking about the Male/Female variation of 8 signs. He will have many diseases as well". They are – • The sign in which lagna is posited. if the lagna lord is Su then the presna itself could be about gold. For example. remember that the basic significance o the planets and signs remains the same. he says – "If the lagnamsaka is strong then the color of that sign would be the sign of the animal born at that time" Remember that the word lagnamsaka indicates the sign in which lagnamsa falls. But he would like quarrelling with others. taking the wrong methods and approaches and the like. For example. (Stana) Look at this sloka from Prasnamarga – Daresasya navamsese moodhe neechari bhagake Papandare papa drishte kalatrantarabhag bhavel Meaning. between malefics or aspected (drishti) by malefics then. [V] Bhava-Graha (House-Planet) Predictions are given considering the Navamsaka house (starting from natal lagna) in the horoscope. since 7th house and planets are considered it is a House-Planet prediction. Have a look at it. if the lord of the sign in which the navamsa of the 7th lord falls is combusted. "if the navamsa of Ju falls in 7th from natal lagna and the Drishti of Ve falls in 7th then she will have beautiful hip and sexual organs". Brihal prajapatyam says – Aste jeevamsake tatra bhargavena nireekshite Ya jata tam vijaneehi yoni manojchakanwitam Meaning.• The sign in which the lagna navamsa falls (Lagna navamsa sign = Lagnamsaka) • The sign in which the Su navamsa falls (Su navamsa sign = Suryamsaka) • The sign in which the Mo navamsa falls (Mo navamsa sign = Chandramsaka) • The sign in which the Ju navamsa falls (Ju navamsa sign = Gurvamsaka) By the way there is a whole chapter (Chapter 17) allotted to navamsa based place-planet prediction. meaning if the navamsa of Ma falls in 7th (from natal lagna) then she will have some disease related to sexual organs". debilitated. Then if Su (lord of leo) is in Libra. Remember that exaltation. in enemy sign. Spot the fact that. Here – Ju = Daresa (7th lord) 2nd navamsa of Pi = Daresasya navamsa (Thus the Ju Navamsaka is Leo) . in Varaha hora. For example. the native will have more than one wife. debilitation etc is also related to place. [VI] Stana-Bhava (Place-House) Since house is always counted from natal lagna this system is not much important in navamsa-based prediction. think that Virgo is Lagna and the navamsa of the 7th lord Ju Leo. Mihira says – "Koujamsesthe Sourina vyadhi yoni". But we can locate some other cute uses of this. he will have more than one wife. Always remember that it is the 7-fold prediction system that is used both in natal chart and in Vargas (amsas). I think this explanation might have cleared the doubt – "how to predict with navamsa" at least to a certain extend.3-26.3: 20-23. exaltation.3-16.7: 23. if Lagna is Cn and the navamsa of Sa falls in Cp then her husband would be an aged person. The degrees 0-3. Notice that here – Cn (Place).Su = Daresasya navamsesa (navamsa lord for Ju) Notice that. in this sloka. "if the 7th house is Cp or Aq and if the navamsa of Sa falls in that sign.7: 13.7 in all signs belong to sthira rasis . Vinita Kumar: You will make a person like me suffer from indigestion. Anyway. It is going to take a huge amount of time to understand and assimilate all that you have written. • Drishti is not considered in Vargas (amsas). This message is becoming too long and I have already covered the 7. based on your earlier post of how the signs are divided into amsas I did a small exercise and it threw up some interesting results in terms of an emerging harmonious pattern. Kendra-trikona (House) etc. debilitation etc (and thus Place) and 7th house (and thus House) is considered and also that the prediction is based on Navamsa. 7th house (House) and Sa (Planet) are considered. [VII] Stana-Bhava-Graha (Place-House-Planet) Look at the Varaha Hora sloka "Vridho MoorkhaH Sooryajarkshamsake va" Meaning.fold system. Vijayadas Pradeep: Lots of info! Lagna having bhagya navamsa etc and 2nd lord having amsa in 12th as you have said are important clues.3 in all signs belong to chara rasis The degrees 3. • The vargas (amsas) only modify the results shown by the natal chart. So I stop here. then she will get an aged person with not much education as husband". For example.3: 10-13. But such slokas are rare and is mostly based on things like exaltation-debilitation (Place). Also notice that it is a navamsa based prediction.3-6. The planets share the same energy level / characteristics as the other since they belong to the same "family" of rasi. or what?) The other thing I want to know from u is whether parivartana yoga would work in navamsa if yuti can work? Finally.its mind boggling. It was amazing for me.. perhaps? So many interpretations.7-10: 16. or same. . I know you are going to have reservations about this but the principle of rasi dristi (according to one viewpoint) is that the high energy levels of chara rasis get neutralized / balanced by the low energy levels of sthira rasis through rasi dristis and vice versa in navamsa.but interesting too. The dwishbava rasis are more balanced by definition and don’t need any further balancing when they aspect each other.. where madhu kaithabha can become madhu keeta and have many more meanings...7-30 in all signs belong to dwishbava rasis Isn't that amazing? But you already know that.. So when you say yuti is important in navamsa one can understand why.. So the sum of all this is SAMA??? (Does sama mean equal.. or balanced. This also makes it amply clear why planets cannot have graha dristi in divisionals where amsas are just fragments of signs . is the significance of bhavas in navamsa the same as in natal chart? You mentioned about the 1st house being tanu bhava in navamsa as well? Or the two charts should always be read together to derive deeper meanings? Given the multi-layered meanings / dimensions / interpretations of navamsa it appears that it is nothing short of Sanskrit words.The degrees 6.but then what about rasi dristi that Parasara talks of? IS there a great SAMA principle working in astrology? (This is only a conjecture for u to consider.7-20: 26.for instance for Taurus lagna Saturn being such a great yogakaraka gets neutralized by being a badhaka at the same time).. like Madhu ji and most of the astrologers in Kerala as well.7: 13.7 in all signs belong to sthira rasis The degrees 6.3-16.3: 20-23.3-26.3 in all signs belong to chara rasis The degrees 3. Actually not only to me but to many. This also makes it amply clear why planets cannot have graha dristi in divisionals where amsas are just fragments of signs Unquote Yap.3: 10-13. It is because of this only it is said that – 1) 2) 3) Count Navamsa for chara signs form that sign itself Count Navamsa for sthira signs form 9th sign. Quote So when you say yuti is important in navamsa one can understand why.7-20: 26.3-6. Quote But then what about rasi dristi that Parasara talks of? Unquote . yap.7-30 in all signs belong to dwishbava rasis Isn't that amazing? But u already know that.Thanks for a good lesson (which I have yet to learn. Unquote It is just natural. It was amazing for me. actually) Sreenadh: Quote The degrees 0-3. The planets share the same energy level / characteristics as the other since they belong to the same "family" of rasi. and is known to me. You are right. Count Navamsa for dwiswabahava (ubhaya) signs form 5th sign.7-10: 16.7: 23. . Quote The other thing I want to know from you is whether parivartana yoga would work in navamsa if yuti can work? Unquote Yap you are right .NO! It is mixing of systems! . We are correlating the navamsa with the Bhavas that are present in natal chart.yes. Bhavas (Houses) should be counted always from Natal Lagna. NOT from lagna navamsa. . Bhavas exist only in the natal chart. Parasara borrowed much from Jaimini.Which is a wrong approach! Rasi drishti is NOT part of Arsha system. is the significance of bhavas in navamsa the same as in natal chart. All other Sanskrit words you can delete. which is entirely different from the ancient Arsha system. it can. Quote Taurus lagna Saturn being such a great yogakaraka gets neutralized by being a badhaka at the same time Unquote Wrong approach. Quote Finally. still the meaning would be clear. Quote Given the multi-layered meanings / dimensions / interpretations of navamsa it appears that it is nothing short of Sanskrit words Unquote The Sanskrit words used are mostly the names of books.. Rasi Drishti is part of Jaimini system.u mentioned about the 1st house being tanu bhava in navamsa as well? Unquote No Bhava in Navamsa. Ju) aspects (drishti) then the result becomes "hidden".There is no nullification ever. but only modification. When it is necessary to indicate partial drishti as well Rishi horas (and even Mihira) use the word "Pasyati" and not "Ekshita". Prashna Anushtana Paddhati (AD 1550 approx) is a book older than Prasnamarga. There is a very popular quote that refers to some combinations that indicate “death of wife” in Prashna Anushtana Panddhati.soon with many.g. So I think your question (doubt) gets nullified.Dhanapal: Thanks a lot Sreenadh ji. it must have been reflecting truth in numerous cases. If you go by Jain school. Sreenadh: Let me clarify one thing . Let us look at the quote – PapaH papekshito va yadi balarahitaH papamadhyasthito va Papanam vargago va mriti bhavanapatir mandi raseeswaro va Putrastanadhipo va makaragata gurur vrischikasthascha sukra Kuryuste daranasam madanamupagata soumyayogekshanonaH . I have one doubt as of now . Meaning. But NEVER partial drishties. and it is based on this very authentic text that Prasnamarga acharya created his own work. Since the quote is from such an authentic text. Thank you. if a benefic (e. :) The result is there though not that evident. :-). Here there is one more point to remember concerning the sloka bit given above – Subhekshita = Subha + Ekshita Ekshita always means 7th Drishti (full Drishiti). but only modified. and since it is very popular. I was searching in the net the kind of document you sent for Navamsa! I spent a lot of effort on that but in vein! Wonderful document. It is at the base of total ancient indian astrological prediction system! Otherwise how can we predict based on 7-fold rule?! That is why Mihira says "Yapya bhavanti subhekshita". It is never nullified. consider special drishtis as well. 5) PapaH mriti bhavanapatir soumyayogekshanonaH madanamupagata Kuryuste daranasam = If a malefic is placed in 7thfrom lagna. and if that malefic in 7th is devoid of any beneficial aspect towards it then the native’s wife will die. and if that malefic in 7th is devoid of any beneficial aspect towards it then the native’s wife will die. They are – 1) PapaH papekshito soumyayogekshanonaH madanamupagata Kuryuste daranasam = If a malefic aspected by another malefic is placed in 7th from lagna.(Prashna Anushtana Paddhati Ch. 3) PapaH papamadhyasthito soumyayogekshanonaH madanamupagata Kuryuste daranasam = If a malefic is placed in 7thfrom lagna.e. 8) Makera gata gurur soumyayogekshanonaH madanamupagata Kuryuste daranasam = If Jupiter in 7th is placed in Capricorn. hemmed between other malefics (i. and if that malefic is the lord of the 8th house as well. 16) The above quote lists many major combinations. and if that malefic Jupiter is devoid of any beneficial aspect towards it then the native’s wife will die. (For cancer lagna 6th lord Jupiter is a malefic) 9) vrischikasthascha sukra soumyayogekshanonaH madanamupagata Kuryuste daranasam = If Venus in 7th is placed in Scorpio. and if that malefic is the depositor of mandi as well.

The same principle applies to Combinations. if you think about donating things or martial arts Ma is benefic. similar logic can be applied to all other houses as well. Dasa-Antara etc as well. If you think about spirituality Su is benefic. if you think about heat related diseases Su is malefic. Are there any classical writings to support this? Unquote No. I had heard from somebody that the malefic / benefic nature applies to placement and not to drishtis. But remember. if you think about spirituality Ve-Ma combination is malefic and the like it goes. or natural malefics and functional benefics. Are there any classical writings to support this? 2...e. if you think about sadness then Sa is malefic. It is well known that malefics in Upachaya houses are good. .. If you think about education Me is benefic. Jupiter and Saturn for Taurus Lagna. Whether a planet is benefic or malefic depends on "about what you are thinking?” To site and example if you think about longevity then Sa is benefic. drishti also is malefic. Learn them clearly. Jupiter will always cast a benefic drishti and Saturn a malefic drishti even though their functional nature may be different. Vinita Kumar: I would like to know the following from the esteemed members of this forum: 1. drishti also is benefic. i. primarily this benefic/malefic classification itself is wrong. These are all some combinations that indicate definite death or loss of wife. But having become "good" is their drishti on other houses also "good"? Sreenadh: Quote I had heard from somebody that the malefic / benefic nature applies to placement and not to drishtis. if you think about accidents Ma is malefic.. Quote . If planet is malefic... If planet is benefic. For example If you think about sex then Ve-Ma combination is benefic. if you think about impotency Me is malefic and the like it goes.Similar combination applies for Mercury in Taurus and Saturn in Pisces as well. In the above example. What is the quality of drishti of grahas when they are functional malefics and natural benefics.. And will not help in prediction. But I am against it since the ancients are talking about Drishti (Full or partial) throughout a sign only and not about gradually increasing or decreasing drishti within a sign for each degree. So even if we accept the points indicated by you. about 10th century AD. it should have some correlation to the influencer's position too. This concept of associating Drishti with each degree originated only after Sripati I think. Vinita Kumar: I thank you for a very insightful response! So would the strength of the drishti depend on the strength of the planet? Do retro-planets exercise a strong drishti? Sreenadh: Quote Would the strength of the drishti depend on the strength of the planet? Do retro planets exercise a strong drishti? Unquote I feel that naturally it should be. All this has importance if Drishti is something like Rasmi (Rays). a mere construct? I think the first you indicated is considered in calculating drishti in shashtyamsa. what's your take? Sreenadh: You indicated: The strength of Dishti should have a relation to   The graha who cause drishti and The graha on which the drishti falls.. since a man without education and talents usually can not be assigned a highly paid job by a helping friend – similar to the drishti from a well placed Graha cannot be of much benefit to a badly placed Graha. Worthless friends (read badly placed grahas) will be of no use to a man is with good education and talents (read Graha . we shouldn’t forget the “equal drishti through out the sign” concept of Rishis. It is well known that malefics in Upachaya houses are good. The points put forward by you are logically correct. then what would be your opinion? But I am yet to find a clue by ancients indicating that drishti is Rays or Angle. But I would have to refer to know what the classics say. But of course if somebody is good then there drishti also is good. Unquote It is a too general statement. I think (need to refer). would the potence of a graha's drishti be affected by its own strength and afflictions? For example. Vernalagnia: While we are on the topic.2. Why can’t it be something else – for example.. If Drishti is something like angle. would Jupiter's aspect on Virgo from Capricorn be the same as that on Pisces from Cancer? If drishti means an influence by sight. Yavana School support the concept of special drishti. why Venus.

If so. Although similar sloka is not available from the other slokas we can see that Skanda Hora. Need to search for the same. Sun and moon do not have these special aspects.

Unquote I don't know. Jain school.with good placement).. If I could not understand the "why" portion from the original classics.10 for Saturn and 5.

Why I am writing this is to know from esteemed astrologers on this forum about the role of iccha in our charts to shape events in our life. When the 8th house is moderately strong .that can it be influenced by consciousness / iccha? I would like to hear the opinion of esteemed members.. About a month back he told me that his father was unwell and had a strong desire to die.I suppose it is how we act. Vinita: I have an acquaintance / friend who visits me sometimes. Another amazing thing. The person had a strong desire to die because he was suffering... The RESPONSE TO THIS MOMENT is in our hands...... passed away the following day. But to have timed his own death so accurately was amazing. He was undergoing his third cycle of Sade Saathi. Note: "Strength of 8th house" for the sake of simplicity can be interpreted as "strength of 8th lord itself". Jupiter and Mercury can also import "strength to a house".. His father too was an astrologer.. I couldn’t get his birth details in the given circumstances. .. but maybe i will do so later for this forum.something like the motions of subatomic particles.

I was told that happened was that this person's sister-in-law who had been living in the same house for many years. My guru has been saying that THIS MOMENT is inevitable but the NEXT MOMENT is full of a million possibilities.. There was once again a strong iccha at work here. Third May also happened to be my friend's birthday. But the next moment is something so uncertain. But as per "Hora swami gurunja veekshita yuta" sloka of Brihatjjataka..the final result will much depend on environment and influences. since she became a widow when young.. aspect of house lord.. If we accept that hypnotism works. The other question is Iccha (Strong Desire/Consciousness/Will) can modify the physical environment. and how can we boast to have one with ourselves. This is a psychological factor. it is one of the factors only in such situations. Do we consider this as a Great Rajayoga ? or planetary war where everybody fails to give results? . it is one of the factors for sure. In olden days when snake bitten people (or their relatives) visit. if we know that we have a strong will which can change things (even destiny . or future (of people or circumstances) which is not directly connected to the person who is willing or imagining. I am no body to comment on the subject. Why? This makes the patient amazed at the capability of the doctor and there after the words of the doctor works magic! If the doctor says that it is a minor case and for sure the patient will survive then. which is another uncertain field while dealing with such matters. But. knowing or unknowingly they may touch the portion of the body where the snake bite. it is one of the factors I should accept.

'before' the patient tells about it. or to compare it with the view of science. provided the qurent (or the person who should undergo the result of that prediction) is aware of this prediction. of course. whether the consciousness of a person can change the circumstances that are NOT directly or indirectly connected to him? That is purely another question. psycho factor and makes use of it. Or in other words. yes. since they strongly want to tell the event. at times by predicting the body part where the snake-bite.Rishis supports this argument) then why not can we ignore the role of iccha (Strong Desire/Will)? But I would like to add that Iccha is not lone player that makes the predictions true. No body has an answer to it in the scientific world. and at times he survives against all odds! Yes. in any prediction. the Ayurveda doctor. the iccha (desire/will) of the patient is aroused.Sreenadh: You are absolutely right!

The Dasa of Ke. (Or just because the bunch of planets are in 10th form Moon?) But which kind of Sanskrit is your interest? And where did I stray in my translation? I'd like to benefit from your uppity Sanskrit with regard to the verse. It is also the 7th lord. Please come out. whose lord (also 7th lord) goes to Lagna? Sreenadh: I wanted to say that the astrological statement like the one I put forward sounds sanskrit to the common man. In that case every chart with Moon in Cancer can do without the houses to be erected. The Navamsa of Ke falls in 8th. there is also the Sanskrit original alongside. which is written off as a dusthhaana.Sreenadh: Quote What was conveyed by Verna? Unquote Guess . I can't say whether Moon lagna is stronger. which is not with me at the moment. Funny. Lagna is weak. . What is the Khetakautuka in Aries. There was no mal-intention in my statements. My present copy has Hindi translation. :) RK Dash: I'm seized of the 12th-ness. Mo eclipsed due to the presence of Ra. The 12th lord from Mo is with the 8th lord" And not the original Sanskrit. Sreenadh: Please don't guess it wrong! I was mentioning this kind of Sanskrit . :) RK Dash: As far as I remember of my copy of Raman's translation. right? Let me clear the air. In the chart the 7th lord is in lagna. I am seized of the 12th from lagna. well. placed in 7th already running. And that 12th is overloaded with planets. that being Mars in Venus sign. 12th is a loaded hse as an adjunct to 7th.) Will be disclosed only later. Hope you won't misunderstand my statement."8th lord from Mo is debilitated and combusted. Sthhula rasi position would have us believe. We all know enough to guess our way through. :) I repeat. As for Sanskrit. I think I am . Moon in Cancer gives us Moon lagna validity. The chapter header is Bhagya Yoga: The translation of the verse would be: The person (Jaataka) will have the 'yoga of luck' with regard to the Bhaava whose kaaraka is in the 12th from lagna. none here is an ignoramus.) lol. I am not clear. Plus. difficult to understand. the lagna lord is weak. [The whole discussion was going in a useless track – just the play with words – that conveys near to nothing! The discussion was going in useless direction. as per Varahahora.e. It is also the 7th lord. Ju.explaining. placed in 7th already running.. Molded in mystery) for the common man"! Alas! To what a pit I am in to .. By the way. We have moved on to strength of sign." Guess what wrong? The Bhaavaartharatnaakara verse or "the astrological statement like the one I put forward". Sreenadh was trying hard to get out of the clenches of RK Dash who was forcing responses in turn to useless posts. explaining. Well... It is not aspected by Me. i. planets in 12th. and farther."8th lord from Mo is debilitated and combusted. Moon Sign is valid for this chart. Mo eclipsed. I cannot correlate your statement put forward and my statement 'put backward' :) You have skirted the points I have made in my previous post.. The Lagna is not valid for this chart because.!] RK Dash: No. Varaha Hora. because the lord of Mo sign is there itself. [Editor: This was too much for Sreenadh and a full stop unavoidable!] Sreenadh: I mean "The astrological statements like the one I put forward is Sanskrit (Complex. I just stay back from this thread. The Dasa of Ke. Shree Shreenadh. or the sign lord. But alas…..but I am not making myself clear?! There should be something really wrong with my English!! [Editor: And it worked! The discussion of the chart provided by Vernalagnia stopped there] Chart -2 (Discussion of chart provided by Kannan) Kannan: .stretching it too long. These are standard norms to check the strength of a sign. You had written: "Please don't guess it wrong!

My doubt is when all Kendra and kona lords are together in the most powerful Kendra-10th house . what happens to that Rajayoga. it will go vain? Sreenadh: It is AM or PM ?

Born with both the lungs not functioning well. but should we add some suffering (bad health?) to it as well.S. even though through turmoil. Sreenadh: Now. :) P. survival is ensured. (In the chart provided by Verna ji. Doctors were looking for some costly medicine not available in India. . This proves that that chart is ok. Parents were in tears. Let us make it a good discussion. etc and put his father under bankruptcy. then what is use of a horoscope with many good combinations as well. Meaning if there is no longevity. Here also many conditions told for the chart put forward by Verna ji applies. and should be read from Lagna. making us toil further. this child is perfectly okay. In 8th Sa is there. the 12th lord was the depositor of Gk). look at the chart provided by Kannan ji. Meaning longevity should be thought first when you receive a chart. which is good in a sense. Lagna lord is with Gk. Je and Sa helping the survival) the child survived! This is why the classics say . Now that Jesus heard their prayers. This is what I doubted. 8th lord is with the 12th lord. On checking Vimsottari dasa from Lagna sputa it is the Dasa of Ve (the 6th lord) but which is also the Amrita graha.Please proceed. After injecting the medicine directly to the lungs.Yes . it started giving positive response.) Still it is ok."Aayusha pradhamam chintryam". Mo eclipsed due to Ra. The first 15 days of this child was very critical. All started praying. The chart gives almost all the indications of an instant death. so we can proceed further.: I request others to come forward and make further comments on this chart.: I wonder why two similar charts were presented on this forum at the same time. friends. But the difference between these charts is that this chart should be read from Lagna. Once this point is clarified we can proceed further. but with god's grace (or with chart's grace?! With Ve. Sreenadh: You could have limited your answer in a yes or no manner. (I don't know anything about this child). . relatives and well wishers. P. even after that they spend 1-2 months time in hospital due to many other infections etc. :) Since for this horoscope."Anayusham tu martyanam jataka kim prayojanam". At last with Gods grace someone found the desired medicine kept at a different hospital. Lagna lord is Ju another Amrita Graha. Dasa of 4th lord from Mo (8th lord from Lagna) is running. There is another statement . doctors saying not much hope. :O Kannan: Let me first give facts about this child (my friend’s daughter). So I think survival ensured.S. But alas! Not much help from relatives. Ma and Su. since it ensures the survival of the child. Where Sa is placed? In Cancer. to derive this result. Here the question is . Even the earnings of Father (from abroad/distant land? Su in Virgo sign!) won't have been enough for the high expenses. becomes hidden. since the lung related trouble happened. even in that state of affairs at the hospital. Since Mo is significator of childhood. "Moordha Asya Gala skandha Hridayo.. Sa in 8th (in 4th from Mo) says. considering the body parts of the Kala purusha (and the placement of malefics in respective signs) the strength of body parts can be predicted. Ra is with Mo so it could be assigned to the mother. Why? Cn represents heart. If Dasa casted from Lagna now it is Ve->Mo! Brigu sutra says that if Ra is in 5th "Pavana vyadhi" Meaning rheumatics like health trouble. The main malefics are Sa. Let it be rheumatics .. in a sense Sa in 8th is good. But Sa in 8th also indicates long life.Why the disease was related to lungs? Can you imagine the answer? As you know Aries is the head of Kalapurusha and Pisces is the feet.. So the conclusion would be that the trouble could be related to Lungs or Heart (or both) as far as an astrologer who purely depends on horoscope is concerned. The trouble could be ascribed not only to lungs but also to the heart. Starting from Lagna." etc. Mo-Ra combination also indicates diseases in childhood.Kannan: I will take care in future to be very brief. and the other could be our imperfect understanding. and that is why earlier I said. Ma and Su are with Ju and therefore the damage they can give is "Yapya bhavanti". and Aq has got the name "Hridroga" (Heart disease) and the lord of Aq is posited in Cn. (This points to the dilemma into which the astrologer probably falls into while trying to decipher results from the chart) So the next question would be. In this horoscope. Sreenadh: Let us go to the next step. So the remaining malefic is Sa. Mo is aspected with Sa as well. why was it so? Or am I wrong? If Dasa is casted from Mo. any heart related trouble was mentioned by doctors or not? Even if not it is ok. The lord of Cn is with Ra again indicating Lungs trouble. Saravali says "Kala narasyavayaval purushanam kalpayel presavakale Sadasad graha samyogal pushtim cha upadravscheti" Meaning. It is the Chest (Lungs) portion of Kala purusha. Sa in 8th also indicates diseases. It would have been a troublesome (health wise) period for the mother as well (look at Mo-Ra combination and the aspect of Sa on Mo). with its 10th special drishti. the 5th sign represents Hridaya (Heart) and Mo is there with Ra. at the time of birth. or decreased. now it is Mo dasa. :) P. I am not aware of any health issues to mother now. .: Remember it is just a learning exercise to all. including me. No help from relatives financially. Sreenadh: Thanks. She was in treatment for uterus related problems (which prevent pregnancy) for 2 years. :) 2) Health troubles to mother related to pregnancy BEFORE birth. 1. 4.S. even the mother is yet to recover from the health problems caused by the birth of this child it says. So the placement of Su in Vi sign is justified. since it is not clarified yet. So the analysis suits with slight modification. there should be. :) 3) Father went to foreign land. There was no critical health issues for the mother. 4) No help from relatives financially . It was a cesarean birth. 2. True. Kannan: Thanks for the post. "Kanyayam Paradesaga". yap. since the father went abroad AFTER the birth of child. 5. Clarify all these and we will proceed further.) Vernalagnia: Quote 1) It is ok. My inability to distinguish Lung or Heart trouble from this chart reflects here. We will proceed further in the next mail. But there too was slight error in prediction. that is why these doubts) or anything else. 5) Not aware of current health issues .here the prediction was ok. :) . Father went to foreign land only after birth of the child.but I stick to my view. says Varaha hora. My inability to distinguish Lung or Heart trouble from this chart reflects here. 3. Meaning Virgo sign indicates individual going abroad. I give below my answers. the significator of mother. No Heart disease to the child.(or is it breath or chest related? Is she asthmatic? Cn is the 4th sign from Mo. 1) It is ok. and no further discussion happened on this chart. I was not in a mood to continue the discussion for any of the above charts – further my derivations for even the 2nd chart was not going in perfect direction. After all. and since one was of a dead child (chart read from Moon). pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis (which you'll be susceptible to. and the other was of a child born with lungs problem (chart read from Lagna) – extra frustration caused by irrelevant argumentation with RK.Unquote Shouldn't lungs be seen from the 3rd and heart from the 4th? Just a thought. So that thought came – better to stop when the voice is good – and the thread came to and end] . working in Kota in the IT industry) is quite different from arteriosclerosis :) [Editor: The thread abruptly stopped. Since discussion of both the above charts where happening at the same time.
