Guest guest Posted September 8, 2005 Report Share Posted September 8, 2005 Dear friend, According to reliable sources, the following can be found wrt birth of Hanuman: 1.Hanuman was born on chaitra aShTamI on a Tuesday(North Indian belief). This does not clarify whether it is shukla or krishna paksha of the month chaitra and these two possibilities indicate two probable position for Chandra - ARIDRA in bright half and MOOLA in the dark half of the month. 2.Hanuman was born on margashira krishna trayodashI(South India). This is clear cut wrt tithi - dark 13th day of the month margashira and nakshatra as Anuradha/JyeShTha/Moola the corresponding star. This view seems to believe in Moola; This was perhaps the end of 13th day since at Amavasya, Surya would be in PoorvashaDha and Chandra in MOOLA then would result in 14th dark and amavasya day. 3.Hanuman was born on amavasya of margashira(Dravidian view). This looks to be fairly better than case #2 giving MOOLA as the birth star precisely. 4.Hanuman was born on chaitra poornima day(Vaishnava view) This, is clear wrt star - SWATI, rarely the end of CHITTA Now let us analyse the reason behind the 4 possible stars ie Aridra, Swati, JyeShTha and Moola, keeping aside the rarer possibilities of Chitta, Anuradha or PoorvaShaDha. Aridra - lord of which is Rudra, is a valid janma taara for Hanuman, who was believed to be born from 'Rudramsha'. Swati - lord of which is VAAYU, is much stronger candidate for the janmataara of Vaayuputra the son of Wind God! JyeShTha - whose lord is Indra, is a weaker candidate and might be a valid star due to his strength equal to Indra. It may also be due to Vajra-deha of Hanuman whose name 'Hanumaan'(One with swollen cheeks) is due to Indra's Vajra-strike on his face. Moola - The star indicated in 3 out of 4 cases. - The star of the Origin or the seat of Brahma, is the valid star for Hanuman who is believed to be the SECOND BRAHMA. - Hanuman had early separation from parents, which is an indication of Moola. - Thirdly, Dhanu Rashi is the 6th(Servant) from Rama's Kataka Rashi and is well related. - The first Drekkana of Dhanu corresponding to Moola is well described for its 'speed' and 'ear rings', which beautifully suit with Hanuman's speed and ear-rings. (seen only by Rama, at their first meet - Ramayana) A SPECIAL POINT: As soon as he was born, Hanuman, jumped to sky to swallow the Sun himself mistaking for a fruit. This incident, along with other factors, seems to describe a solar eclipse on that day, astronomically. The story is - Indra hit Hanuman on his mouth with Vajra when Hanuman tried to swallow the Sun and got the Sun free. ie Kethu(lord of Moola) tried to capture the Sun and gave up in presence of Indra(lord of JyeShTha)!!! To me, it looks like a wonderful explanation of a partial solar eclipse in Moola, which is next to JyeShTha. The month was margashira and the day MUST have been Amavasya for Surya-GrahaNa by Kethu.This strengthens MOOLA to be his janmataara!! And margashira Amavasya as his birthday. As the time was at Sun rise, Lagna would be Dhanu, without doubt with Ravi, Chandra Kethu there! Though incomplete, hope you get a glimpse of a part of the chart of Hanuman! yours humbly, KAD , "hari" <moonlight_180> wrote: > , "hari" <moonlight_180> > wrote: > > Hello, > > > > Does anyone who have analized the lord hanuman chart. > > I want to see the chart.lord hanuman is know to 'chiranjeevi'(no > death). > > I want to see how the chart looks.I saw lord rama chart but not lord > > hanuman. > > > > Regards, > > Hari.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Kadrudra ji, Your explanation of Hanuman's birth is excellent! Have you studied astrology with reference to the Mahabharata? I have heard of some inconsistencies, etc, from some scholars. Unfortunately, I have not studied them myself. If you have done so, it would be most helpful if you could share it. ~~~~~~~ Balaji Narasimhan * http://www.sherlock-holmes.com/balaji.htm Author, Sherlock Holmes: Solutions from the Sussex Downs Editor, The Partial Art of Detection ~~~~~~~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
