Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Dear GJlisters Two points on the use of North Indian Charts In Vedic culture clockwise is considered auspicious and anticlockwise is considered inauspicious .Therefore temples and other auspicious places are circumambulated clockwise never anti clockwise .Similarly a chart should be read clockwise i.e South Indian style to maximise auspiciousness . The second important reason is that an important component of jyotish is the use of prasna .In the South Indian style only the lagna has to be moved through the day whereas in the North Indian style the whole chart has to be recast .Thus the North Indian stytle is impractical . It is important that new jyotishis learn the correct,auspicious ,practical way to cast charts because bad habits become difficult to break Nicholas - natabara GJList Thursday, May 30, 2002 9:18 PM Re: [GJ] 9th house Dear Zoran you <<I find further debate pointless>> me I do think so. Every author gives his own realisations and his/her followers will take what they can understand, accept or reject according to their own experience or karma. i do not like to debate on relative truths like the indications for father taken from either the 5th, 9th or 10th house. Each astrologer is free to follow the guidelines, which better fit their own gunas. Nevertheless, i have to accept that there are some points in astrology, which are just a waste of time. I may say so from time to time for some points, but people are free to waste their time if they so want, in pursuing a ghostly ephemeral ideal. However, i like to clarify from time to time important issues that need to be clarified. For example, i did browse some time ago a book on Vedic astrology, in which the author wrote that the South Indian style to represent a Vedic horoscope is superior to all the others. I do disagree with his belief, because to me the style to represent a Vedic chart should fit best the reading of the astrologer. Although i do prefer to follow the North Indian style to read Vedic charts, i do not say that such a style is superior. It is a matter of preference. In fact, i do have many friends following the south Indian style and i do adapt myself to read those charts. Like in every path, we should learn to use our intuition and follow what we feel is best. However, what is best for me, it may not be better for others. Mother nature is very wise. She did give us the needed gunas to achieve our determined goal. Therefore, we do get what we need to be learned. For example, a musician is very sensitive in nature, he/she grasps the need of the environment and creates a song to satisfy and elevate the consciousness. That musician may be under the spell of the mode of satva, raja or tamas, but his/her creation is aimed specifically to any of those gunas. If his creation is satvic, those in tamas may not like it and reject it. And if his creation is tamasic, those in satva will not like it. However, from the absolute point of view, every single creation can be seen helpful to elevate every soul on this mortal plane, to a higher consciousness. Difficult to explain this, but on a mundane level we can see the example, that a musician may write a song talking about the love for a girl. That song may sounds mundane, but from the absolute realm, that musician really wrote about the love for God. The gunas of the musician may be captivated by the modes of nature, but higher authorities have given him the necessary inspiration to write a song that is going to help many people. Then again, that particular musician must have the planetary combinations to be chosen for that role. You have quoted from Sanjay's book. <<"Yet, if we take a 9th house for the past life and significator saturn, then the 5th will indicate dharma of the past(9th from 9th), and future prospects on the basis of poorvapunya, not the past life itself. ">> me Without disrespect, i do not agree with that. I do understand that purvapunya (previous merits done in a previous life or the past life), is related to dharma. Dharma is our duty towards God, therefore, dharma has some guidelines to follow to serve God. Good merits = the following of our dharma. Bad merits = not following our dharma. Therefore, according to our good or bad purvapunya done in a previous life (the past) we get a body in the future (our present). We can not say that a purvapunya done in the future will decide our present body, because we have not have the facilities yet to do our merits. It is like saying, pay now (get a body) and you will get the goods (purvapunya) in the future. If we do take the 9th house as the future, then the 5th house counting from the 9th, will be the 9th from the 9th house. Or in other words, the 5th house (purvapunya) will be the future and dharma from our future. In the Vedas we follow a cycle in eternity, where our intentions do not change so much. Therefore our past purvapunya will have the seeds for the purvapunya of our future. We can say that our present purvapunya (merits done in the past) have decided our present body. Our present punya, will decide our future body. And our uttarapunya (future merits), will decide our future future body. We can see the example of 6 naksatras or constellations. Purva Phalguni and Uttara Phalguni, or the previous and the next Phalguni. Purva Ashada and Uttara Ashada, Purva Bhadrapada and Uttara Bhadrapada. But then again it is a relative matter of understanding things. you <<In future, we may discuss the practical examples, and prove each/other point. >> me Although it is a good idea to discuss practical examples, i do not think that we are going to be able to prove each/other point. A single example is not sufficient to prove our point because a single example cannot cover all the rules and there always will be some exemptions or puzzles. That is way the work of Gauquelin is very useful, because he had tried to prove a point with thousands of charts. However, he was only a pioneer, he only started a path, others in the future will take his line of thought further ahead. It will be nice to have a proper research in Vedic astrology taking some 25,000 charts for study. But i will not see that in my lifetime, future astrologers will do that in time. We can see how a line of thought is followed, expanded and explained in every branch of thought. We can follow a line of thought from Galileo, Newton, to Einstein. And another line of thought from Lord Brahma, Arjuna and lord Chaitanya.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Dear Brother Nicholas, Don't divide India like this. Nothing is auspicious and inauspicious. This is need of the hour which will turn something into auspiciousness and inauspiciousness. Try giving teaching to wife on the bed "Jupiter way" and you will loose all the auspiciousness . You will have to behave Venus and Mars style to get results. And remember to achieve Precious elements Devas and Devils needed to work together to churn the Sea , and the most needed partners were devils not deva's. Also the spiritually auspicious is that which turn your mind toward God and inauspicious is that which remove your mind from the God. And South Indian and North Indian style has nothing to do with this. This is ease with which one can read and it has nothing to do with auspiciousness and inauspiciousness.

Guest guest Posted May 30, 2002 Report Share Posted May 30, 2002 Dear Nicholas, I would also like to point out that both way of preparing and reading the charts in southinidan and northindian style has its own advantages and disadvantages for the beginners. I dont think that following a particular style of reading a chart involves auspiciousness or inaspiciousness. Being a southindian, i prefer to read a chart in northindian style and i do it at ease. It is the choice of the astrologer which one suits him. Following southindian chart style, fixing a muhurtha and for ashtakavarga calculations become easy when compared to northindian style. For a beginner to see the 7th aspect it is very easy in northindian style. When analysing a chart in Jaimini method and you are not sure of Lagna, southindian chart is very advantageous becuse karakas are not going to change i.e. planetary positions. one can very well verify the events from the rasi chart and can fix the lagna. For a beginner you can easily show the lordship of the houses in southindian style more easily than that of northindian style. Even the Rahu and Ketu representing spiritual practices and final emancipation are transiting in anticlock wise in the zodiac. ( i am kidding here) :-)) Regards, C.S.

Every author gives his own realisations and his/her followers will take what they can understand, accept or reject according to their own experience or karma. i do not like to debate on relative truths like the indications for father taken from either the 5th, 9th or 10th house. Each astrologer is free to follow the guidelines, which better fit their own gunas. Nevertheless, i have to accept that there are some points in astrology, which are just a waste of time. I may say so from time to time for some points, but people are free to waste their time if they so want, in pursuing a ghostly ephemeral ideal. However, i like to clarify from time to time important issues that need to be clarified. For example, i did browse some time ago a book on Vedic astrology, in which the author wrote that the South Indian style to represent a Vedic horoscope is superior to all the others. I do disagree with his belief, because to me the style to represent a Vedic chart should fit best the reading of the astrologer. Although i do prefer to follow the North Indian style to read Vedic charts, i do not say that such a style is superior. It is a matter of preference. In fact, i do have many friends following the south Indian style and i do adapt myself to read those charts. Like in every path, we should learn to use our intuition and follow what we feel is best. However, what is best for me, it may not be better for others. Mother nature is very wise. She did give us the needed gunas to achieve our determined goal. Therefore, we do get what we need to be learned. For example, a musician is very sensitive in nature, he/she grasps the need of the environment and creates a song to satisfy and elevate the consciousness. That musician may be under the spell of the mode of satva, raja or tamas, but his/her creation is aimed specifically to any of those gunas. If his creation is satvic, those in tamas may not like it and reject it. And if his creation is tamasic, those in satva will not like it. However, from the absolute point of view, every single creation can be seen helpful to elevate every soul on this mortal plane, to a higher consciousness. Difficult to explain this, but on a mundane level we can see the example, that a musician may write a song talking about the love for a girl. That song may sounds mundane, but from the absolute realm, that musician really wrote about the love for God. The gunas of the musician may be captivated by the modes of nature, but higher authorities have given him the necessary inspiration to write a song that is going to help many people. Then again, that particular musician must have the planetary combinations to be chosen for that role. You have quoted from Sanjay's book. <<"Yet, if we take a 9th house for the past life and significator saturn, then the 5th will indicate dharma of the past(9th from 9th), and future prospects on the basis of poorvapunya, not the past life itself. ">> me Without disrespect, i do not agree with that. I do understand that purvapunya (previous merits done in a previous life or the past life), is related to dharma. Dharma is our duty towards God, therefore, dharma has some guidelines to follow to serve God. Good merits = the following of our dharma. Bad merits = not following our dharma. Therefore, according to our good or bad purvapunya done in a previous life (the past) we get a body in the future (our present). We can not say that a purvapunya done in the future will decide our present body, because we have not have the facilities yet to do our merits. It is like saying, pay now (get a body) and you will get the goods (purvapunya) in the future. If we do take the 9th house as the future, then the 5th house counting from the 9th, will be the 9th from the 9th house. Or in other words, the 5th house (purvapunya) will be the future and dharma from our future. In the Vedas we follow a cycle in eternity, where our intentions do not change so much. Therefore our past purvapunya will have the seeds for the purvapunya of our future. We can say that our present purvapunya (merits done in the past) have decided our present body. Our present punya, will decide our future body. And our uttarapunya (future merits), will decide our future future body. We can see the example of 6 naksatras or constellations. Purva Phalguni and Uttara Phalguni, or the previous and the next Phalguni. Purva Ashada and Uttara Ashada, Purva Bhadrapada and Uttara Bhadrapada. But then again it is a relative matter of understanding things. you <<In future, we may discuss the practical examples, and prove each/other point. >> me Although it is a good idea to discuss practical examples, i do not think that we are going to be able to prove each/other point. A single example is not sufficient to prove our point because a single example cannot cover all the rules and there always will be some exemptions or puzzles. That is way the work of Gauquelin is very useful, because he had tried to prove a point with thousands of charts. However, he was only a pioneer, he only started a path, others in the future will take his line of thought further ahead. It will be nice to have a proper research in Vedic astrology taking some 25,000 charts for study. But i will not see that in my lifetime, future astrologers will do that in time. We can see how a line of thought is followed, expanded and explained in every branch of thought. We can follow a line of thought from Galileo, Newton, to Einstein. And another line of thought from Lord Brahma, Arjuna and lord Chaitanya. Best wishes Natabara Das Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya; Hare Krishna; Om Tat Sat : gjlist- Terms of Service.

N - Inder Jit Sahni gjlist Friday, May 31, 2002 12:53 PM Re: [GJ] Use of North Indian chart was 9th house Dear Brother Nicholas, Don't divide India like this. Nothing is auspicious and inauspicious. This is need of the hour which will turn something into auspiciousness and inauspiciousness. Try giving teaching to wife on the bed "Jupiter way" and you will loose all the auspiciousness . You will have to behave Venus and Mars style to get results. And remember to achieve Precious elements Devas and Devils needed to work together to churn the Sea , and the most needed partners were devils not deva's. Also the spiritually auspicious is that which turn your mind toward God and inauspicious is that which remove your mind from the God. And South Indian and North Indian style has nothing to do with this. This is ease with which one can read and it has nothing to do with auspiciousness and inauspiciousness.

A single example is not sufficient to prove our point because a single example cannot cover all the rules and there always will be some exemptions or puzzles. That is way the work of Gauquelin is very useful, because he had tried to prove a point with thousands of charts. However, he was only a pioneer, he only started a path, others in the future will take his line of thought further ahead. It will be nice to have a proper research in Vedic astrology taking some 25,000 charts for study. But i will not see that in my lifetime, future astrologers will do that in time. We can see how a line of thought is followed, expanded and explained in every branch of thought. We can follow a line of thought from Galileo, Newton, to Einstein. And another line of thought from Lord Brahma, Arjuna and lord Chaitanya. Best wishes Natabara Das Om Namo Bhagavate Vasudevaya; Hare Krishna; Om Tat Sat : gjlist- Terms of Service.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 Namaste Zoran, Nicholas + list certainly can't comment on Zoran's findings about Shukra/Guru chakras though with regards to auspiciousness I would agree wholeheartedly with Nicholas that there is No doubts about 'clockwise' being considered auspicious whilst anti-clockwise is inauspicious per Vedic culture - only need to refer to 'holy swastika' sign to see how. I personally feel that the 'sole' reason for using the South Indian chart is purely from the 'ease' of knowing that sign's would be fixed whilst corresponding houses numeration would change depending upon 'lagna' rising at point of birth/query aside from auspiciousness from attempting to read any chart. One with little practise can ascertain exactly who aspects what from Both Graha (Vim) and Rasi (Jamini) methods. As chart casting is fixed there can be No confusion with deciphering it particularly when in 'old' age ones eyesight can begin to play tricks with numerals used per North Indian style. One similarly shouldn't also forget the Sun chakra chart (East Indian) which though fixed like the South Indian method re:sign's though they are assigned in an 'anti-clockwise' direction like the North Indian method which is also in vogue. Each to there own I guess regarding use of any chakra chart!! Also 9th house irrespective of chakra chart is auspicious - hence chart style shouldn't matter!! Best wishes ......

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 Dear All I believe that it is not just in Vedic culture. Celtic magical circle, native American medicine wheel are done clockwise. It was told to me that it is drawing the heavens down to Earth. Don't whirling dervishes also spin clockwise? Interesting, theWestern astrology chart is the only "magical" wheel read counter clockwise. In retrospect, I take this as representative of this systems reaching out to the heavens while the Vedic chart, at least in my practice, looks deeper into the essence or soul of the native and so draws me deeper. just musing - Ram Kumar-Jaswal <ram.kumar.jaswal <gjlist> Friday, May 31, 2002 6:56 AM RE: [GJ] Use of North Indian chart was 9th house > Namaste Zoran, Nicholas + list > > certainly can't comment on Zoran's findings about Shukra/Guru chakras though > with regards to auspiciousness I would agree wholeheartedly with Nicholas > that there is No doubts about 'clockwise' being considered auspicious whilst > anti-clockwise is inauspicious per Vedic culture - only need to refer to > 'holy swastika' sign to see how. > > I personally feel that the 'sole' reason for using the South Indian chart is > purely from the 'ease' of knowing that sign's would be fixed whilst > corresponding houses numeration would change depending upon 'lagna' rising > at point of birth/query aside from auspiciousness from attempting to read > any chart.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 HARE RAMA KRISHNA OM GURAVE NAMAH Dear List members, I had the understanding that the anticlockwise counting of houses in North Indian chart format is due to the anticlockwise motion of planets as seen from the Earth.Also, the arrangement makes the kendras look as pillars of the horoscope whereas the trikonas (1,5,9) form a triangle when one looks directly. please correct my understanding regards k.n.sriram gjlist, Zoran Radosavljevic <ahimsa@N...> wrote: > Om Namo Narayanaya, > South Indian chart is called Bhrigu Chakra and belongs to Shukra, while > northIndian chart is called Guru chakra, and belongs to Guru.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 Dear All Where did the North Indian chart format originate? It goes counter clockwise like western astrology, and it appears to be the same format of the ancient Greek astrology.

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 Ooops, I forgot to mention. There was a well publicised photo of an astrology chart cast by the astronomer and scientist Kepler in the 1700s. It was cast for some Duke in Austria. What format was it? Well, you guessed it, the N Indian or ancient Greek format. Just thought you'd be interested. c Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 Speaking of directions, not to argue which is best ie more holy, more ancient, etc... But I wanted to say, that is GJ3, for some odd reason, I did a weird thing in this regard- you know wheels ok, usually they go counter clockwise as in Western Jyotish. So I made it an option to go the other way, I call it "Southern Wheel", and you can have the lagna up or side, and count the other way, and everything cooperates, even watching transits spin. So those who want to spin clockwise on wheels can do so in GJ3. ....which I'm still hoping to finish, but i'm still constantly struggling with mood problems. Saw me'ol shrink yesterday, monitoring, progressing, trying. Friends trying to help too. Everyone trying to make changes, adjust, grow, find the reasons, find the solutions. Peace. In the attached picture, you can see the signs go clockwise from the top, you can see that this is caused by me selecting the ascendent type as "Southern". The idea is, that's the direction on Southern Charts. In all cases, the wheel remains a wheel, so these three ascendent types do: North: 1 is at top, goes counter-clockwise South: 1 is at top, goes clockwise West: 1 is on left side as in western charts, rotation counter clockwise, also just like western charts but these are all normally equal sign equal house, but in GJ3 you are not locked to that- you could have one ring with just Sripati Sandhis showing, and that's all, so then that ring, though sidereal, will look more like an unevenly house spaced western chart. Nice stuff...flexible...is the idea. -- Das Goravani , President 2852 Willamette St, #353 Eugene, Oregon, 97405 USA Voice: or <> Home of "Goravani Jyotish" Vedic Astrology Software , and more...

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 Dear Cynthia I've heard that the Noth Indian format was introduced by the Mahommedan conquerors .Generally because South India was not conquered by the Muslims the Vedic traditions are more intact . The South Indian format is very nice for visualisation , Saturn stays in the same place for 2 1/2 years whereas with the North Indian format it moves 12 times a day .

Guest guest Posted May 31, 2002 Report Share Posted May 31, 2002 In a message dated Fri, 31 May 2002 4:02:28 PM Eastern Daylight Time, jyotish108 writes: > I've heard that the Noth Indian format was introduced by the Mahommedan > conquerors .Generally because South India was not conquered > by the Muslims > the Vedic traditions are more intact That's quite an interesting thought--I am enjoying this discussion very much, and wondering about the fact that water drains in one swirling direction above the equator (clockwise) and swirls down a drainpipe in the opposite direction below the earth's equator....so does it become interpreted that below the Equator it is inauspicious place to bathe, etc. Also thinking about your comments above, I wonder how many of Muhammad followers ever practice astrology, and in the case of Vedic traditions, would those Muslims become so interested in astrological tradition and charts that they would actually invent a new chart to be used? To me it seems unlikely that this happened...however I remain all eyes and full of curiosity to know more! Thanks to all for this discussion.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2002 Report Share Posted June 1, 2002 Dear Nicholas you <<Any sacred object in Vedic culture is circled clockwise >> me You are right, that is the Vedic tradition. For example, Deities should be worshipped by offering incense, water, fire, a fan and a flower with a clock-wise direction of the hand. Notice that those objects correspond to the 4 elements earth (smell), water, fire, and air (that carries the fragrance of a pushpa or flower. And those elements correspond to the first 4 chakras. you <<In Vedic culture clockwise is considered auspicious and anticlockwise is considered inauspicious >> me Yes indeed, we have the example of the swastic which when draw on a clockwise direction is considered auspicious and when it is drawn anticlockwise is considered inauspicious. On the first instance, it is constructive, and on the second, destructive. you <<Therefore temples and other auspicious places are circumambulated clockwise never anti clockwise >> me Yes indeed. I have read that there is a huge temple in India dedicated to Saniacharya or Saturn, and that every time when Saturn enters into a sign, millions of people that are going to be affected by Sade Sati (sade = 7, sati = 1/2) or the traditional 7 and a 1/2 years of the shadow of Saturn that starts to affect natives of a Moon sign. They all circumbulate the temple clockwise never anti clockwise. you <<Similarly a chart should be read clockwise i.e South Indian style to maximise auspiciousness .>> me With respects. I do not agree here with your logic. Nowhere in the sastras (books) we find that statement. And my teachers that follow as well a Vedic oral unwritten tradition, could have warned me about that important use if that statement of yours is right, because i am following the North Indian style, but it is a matter of personal convenience, and not an absolute truth as you want it to sound. In my opinion, here you are concocting an absolute rule, which in fact is a relative rule. Therefore, by being relative it is left open to a free will. If we start to concoct rules we soon are going to be invaded with nasty dogmas. We can give the example of some dogmas in the Catholic Church, which have created an unhealthy mentality. One of those dogmas is the myth of Satan. Satan does not exist. Another dogma is to say that sinners will go to eternal hell. There is not a such eternal hell in the loving creation of God our eternal Father. Perhaps eternal hell exists in the creation of a monster without a heart or without the capacity to love. You <<The second important reason is that an important component of jyotish is the use of prasna .In the South Indian style only the lagna has to be moved through the day whereas in the North Indian style the whole chart has to be recast .Thus the North Indian style is impractical .>> me I do not see the problem, I just draw it again which it is not a big deal, and with our modern computers, it does not take long to re-draw the whole thing again. The same impracticality I could describe from the South Indian charts in regard of the reading of the houses. You <<It is important that new jyotishis learn the correct, auspicious ,practical way to cast charts because bad habits become difficult to break. Me As a teacher you have the right to teach your habits to your students, but you do not have the right to teach rigid dogmas. The best teacher is flexible to relative teachings. Any teacher that is rigid and extreme in his teachings to his/her students, is bound to get a reaction back and will be treated in a similar way by the law of karma. Therefore, a correction to our imperfect approach is a must. Best wishes Natabara Das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 1, 2002 Report Share Posted June 1, 2002 Dear Nicholas, So Bhrighu Rishi's use of North Indian style chart is inauspicious? It is true that Vedic culture divide many things in auspicious and non auspicious ,but chart style casting is the ease with which one may read a birth chart or not. Any birth chart having no inherent value will not turn into auspicious , by presenting /reading in South Indian style, and any good chart will not be polluted ,if one is reading/casting it in north Indian style. - Nicholas gjlist Friday, May 31, 2002 10:16 AM Re: [GJ] Use of North Indian chart was 9th house Dear Inder Any sacred object in Vedic culture is circled clockwise . N - Inder Jit Sahni gjlist Friday, May 31, 2002 12:53 PM Re: [GJ] Use of North Indian chart was 9th house Dear Brother Nicholas, Don't divide India like this. Nothing is auspicious and inauspicious. This is need of the hour which will turn something into auspiciousness and inauspiciousness. Try giving teaching to wife on the bed "Jupiter way" and you will loose all the auspiciousness . You will have to behave Venus and Mars style to get results. And remember to achieve Precious elements Devas and Devils needed to work together to churn the Sea , and the most needed partners were devils not deva's. Also the spiritually auspicious is that which turn your mind toward God and inauspicious is that which remove your mind from the God. And South Indian and North Indian style has nothing to do with this. This is ease with which one can read and it has nothing to do with auspiciousness and inauspiciousness. Regards, Inder Jit Sahni - Nicholas gjlist Friday, May 31, 2002 1:28 AM [GJ] Use of North Indian chart was 9th house Dear GJlisters Two points on the use of North Indian Charts In Vedic culture clockwise is considered auspicious and anticlockwise is considered inauspicious .Therefore temples and other auspicious places are circumambulated clockwise never anti clockwise .Similarly a chart should be read clockwise i.e South Indian style to maximise auspiciousness . The second important reason is that an important component of jyotish is the use of prasna .In the South Indian style only the lagna has to be moved through the day whereas in the North Indian style the whole chart has to be recast .Thus the North Indian stytle is impractical . It is important that new jyotishis learn the correct,auspicious ,practical way to cast charts because bad habits become difficult to break Nicholas - natabara GJList Thursday, May 30, 2002 9:18 PM Re: [GJ] 9th house Dear Zoran you <<I find further debate pointless>> me I do think so. Every author gives his own realisations and his/her followers will take what they can understand, accept or reject according to their own experience or karma. i do not like to debate on relative truths like the indications for father taken from either the 5th, 9th or 10th house. Each astrologer is free to follow the guidelines, which better fit their own gunas. Nevertheless, i have to accept that there are some points in astrology, which are just a waste of time. I may say so from time to time for some points, but people are free to waste their time if they so want, in pursuing a ghostly ephemeral ideal. However, i like to clarify from time to time important issues that need to be clarified. For example, i did browse some time ago a book on Vedic astrology, in which the author wrote that the South Indian style to represent a Vedic horoscope is superior to all the others. I do disagree with his belief, because to me the style to represent a Vedic chart should fit best the reading of the astrologer. Although i do prefer to follow the North Indian style to read Vedic charts, i do not say that such a style is superior. It is a matter of preference. In fact, i do have many friends following the south Indian style and i do adapt myself to read those charts. Like in every path, we should learn to use our intuition and follow what we feel is best. However, what is best for me, it may not be better for others. Mother nature is very wise. She did give us the needed gunas to achieve our determined goal. Therefore, we do get what we need to be learned. For example, a musician is very sensitive in nature, he/she grasps the need of the environment and creates a song to satisfy and elevate the consciousness. That musician may be under the spell of the mode of satva, raja or tamas, but his/her creation is aimed specifically to any of those gunas. If his creation is satvic, those in tamas may not like it and reject it. And if his creation is tamasic, those in satva will not like it. However, from the absolute point of view, every single creation can be seen helpful to elevate every soul on this mortal plane, to a higher consciousness. Difficult to explain this, but on a mundane level we can see the example, that a musician may write a song talking about the love for a girl. That song may sounds mundane, but from the absolute realm, that musician really wrote about the love for God. The gunas of the musician may be captivated by the modes of nature, but higher authorities have given him the necessary inspiration to write a song that is going to help many people. Then again, that particular musician must have the planetary combinations to be chosen for that role. You have quoted from Sanjay's book. <<"Yet, if we take a 9th house for the past life and significator saturn, then the 5th will indicate dharma of the past(9th from 9th), and future prospects on the basis of poorvapunya, not the past life itself. ">> me Without disrespect, i do not agree with that. I do understand that purvapunya (previous merits done in a previous life or the past life), is related to dharma. Dharma is our duty towards God, therefore, dharma has some guidelines to follow to serve God. Good merits = the following of our dharma. Bad merits = not following our dharma. Therefore, according to our good or bad purvapunya done in a previous life (the past) we get a body in the future (our present). We can not say that a purvapunya done in the future will decide our present body, because we have not have the facilities yet to do our merits. It is like saying, pay now (get a body) and you will get the goods (purvapunya) in the future. If we do take the 9th house as the future, then the 5th house counting from the 9th, will be the 9th from the 9th house. Or in other words, the 5th house (purvapunya) will be the future and dharma from our future. In the Vedas we follow a cycle in eternity, where our intentions do not change so much. Therefore our past purvapunya will have the seeds for the purvapunya of our future. We can say that our present purvapunya (merits done in the past) have decided our present body. Our present punya, will decide our future body. And our uttarapunya (future merits), will decide our future future body. We can see the example of 6 naksatras or constellations. Purva Phalguni and Uttara Phalguni, or the previous and the next Phalguni. Purva Ashada and Uttara Ashada, Purva Bhadrapada and Uttara Bhadrapada. But then again it is a relative matter of understanding things. you <<In future, we may discuss the practical examples, and prove each/other point. >> me Although it is a good idea to discuss practical examples, i do not think that we are going to be able to prove each/other point. A single example is not sufficient to prove our point because a single example cannot cover all the rules and there always will be some exemptions or puzzles. That is way the work of Gauquelin is very useful, because he had tried to prove a point with thousands of charts. However, he was only a pioneer, he only started a path, others in the future will take his line of thought further ahead. It will be nice to have a proper research in Vedic astrology taking some 25,000 charts for study. But i will not see that in my lifetime, future astrologers will do that in time. We can see how a line of thought is followed, expanded and explained in every branch of thought. We can follow a line of thought from Galileo, Newton, to Einstein. And another line of thought from Lord Brahma, Arjuna and lord Chaitanya.

Guest guest Posted June 1, 2002 Report Share Posted June 1, 2002 Om Namo Narayanaya, Dear Natabara, I said that the South Indian method is called Guru Chakra, while the North Indian Method is called Bhrigu or Shukra Chakra. To me it is all the same whichever is used. The point is to correctly read the chart. Both Guru and Shukra are Brahmins and both are Teachers. The concepts of good and bad are relative and created by Mana.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2002 Report Share Posted June 2, 2002 Dear Cynthia You <<Dear All Where did the North Indian chart format originate? It goes counter clockwise like western astrology, and it appears to be the same format of the ancient Greek astrology. So, did it come from the Greeks or go to the Greeks?>> me A very interesting observation. I would like to add my own analysis. We know very well how certain people or institutions cry wolf to other people in order to control the situation by fear and insecurity. It is an attitude that we see daily all over. It is a habit inherent in many people, especially leaders. In Western culture which started to take shape some 2,000 years ago, the leaders have been using a similar tactic, control by fear, insecurity, misinformation, missing information , denial of the truth, etc. In this way our so-called Western culture has been polarized to produce a determined mental frame, which should conform to a linear plan drawn by those in control. I am very suspicious of the "education" received trough the normal waves and therefore i prefer to compare both, the normal media and the alternative media. By doing that we can see on the "normal" media, a clear propaganda to keep most of the people conforming to a linear frame of mind. Those that do not conform are chastised or denigrated. Too many dogmas have been imposed on us by mini Hitlers in the past 2,000 years. Western education has to say that they are "superior" or the "source" of all knowledge. Vedic knowledge has been protected mostly in India, and although Vedic culture allowed an interchange of knowledge from Western culture, it is more logical to think that Greek and Romans received a more influence from India than the other way round. Perhaps as a matter of argument, we may give the benefit of the doubt to the West as the source of the North Indian style of a horoscope (anti-clock wise), but from where did they get the idea from? In comparison, in the Vedas we read about Brighu Muni as a great philosopher and Vedic astrologer. We are told by tradition that the North Indian style to draw a horoscope (anti-clock wise direction), is called Bhrigu Chakra and belongs to Shukra. Vedic scholars know well that Sukra Acharya, is the guru for the demons and it is represented by Venus. According to the Vedas, Sukra has the right hand tantric knowledge of bringing people back to life after death, provided that the body is still fresh and fully intact. The Vedas say that once upon it time, the devas (demigods) were fighting against the demons (asuras), as they always do, in the eternal fight between the children of the light and the children of darkness. However, the demons were winning because Sukra Acharya was bringing the soldiers back to life after they had been killed in battle. Therefore, the devas sent a spy whom fell in love and married the daughter of Sukra Acharya (Acharya means the guru that teaches by example). This spy (i do not remember his name at present and i do not have the time to find it in my books), learned from Sukra the art of bringing people back to life. I know and have heard that the tantric science-art of bringing people back to life is still cultivated in some parts of India. The influence of Brighu and Sukra worldwide should not be underestimated, in fact we can trace the Vedic culture among the ancient Mayas. The great Quetzalcoatl among the Mayan lore, was a great guru that told the local natives the sciences of agriculture, architecture, astronomy, astrology, maths, etc. Quetzalcoatl was represented by Venus as Sukra is represented as well.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 2002 Report Share Posted June 2, 2002 Dear natabara I appreciate your insights and you passion. Still, I suspect after being a bit of a student of history, propaganda seems to be more of a human trait than a cultural distinction. Perhaps it is my Moon in Utar Ashada, but I find that as soon as I come to make assumptions about "those people" I find those traits in the people around me and in myself. Once I read in a NON astrology text, in fact it was a text about art, that around the time of Jesus the journey to India was approximately 2 months by boat and was made on a fairly regular basis. We may not know the origin of the N Indian chart, but none can refute the Greeks ability in mastering mathematics and star calculations that later benefited all of the world. In study of the stars, it is amazing how many cultures could look at the heavens and find similar images in those erratic star patterns. That there are so many varieties of astrology lends me to think that the insight did not come from one culture but from a source greater than human.

Guest guest Posted June 3, 2002 Report Share Posted June 3, 2002 Dear Zoran Thank you very much for your post. you <<I said that the South Indian method is called Guru Chakra, while the North Indian Method is called Bhrigu or Shukra Chakra. To me it is all the same whichever is used. The point is to correctly read the chart. Both Guru and Shukra are Brahmins and both are Teachers. The concepts of good and bad are relative and created by Mana. >> me I did not know those names given to the graphics to represent Vedic horoscopes. I myself prefer the North Indian style but I welcome both styles, because to me is a matter of preference. The north Indian style goes anti-clock wise as the Western wheel does to represent Western style horoscopes. While the South Indian style goes clock-wise. It is like using the left or the right hand. No long ago, in many schools, teachers used to force left handlers to use the right hand because they said that the use of the left hand is inauspicious. I do not agree with that superstition, i know many left handlers and they are ok. I know also some rare people that use both hands at the same time. No long ago i saw on British TV a documental about a great Italian architect that just to use both hands. With a hand he used to draw the problems in a construction, and with the other hand, he drew the solutions, all at the same time. Perhaps the right direction to circumvallate sacred objects must be obeyed, but we cannot force those rules in other departments like the graphics to the horoscopes. I do agree with Zoran that the concepts of good and bad are relative and created by the mind. From the absolute plane both concepts are relatives. This material creation was designed by Brahma, the architect of this particular universe. This present Brahma has only 4 heads, but from the Vedas we read that there are other Brahmas with many more heads, according to the complexity of their creations. I have read somewhere that at the beginning of this creation some 155 trillion years ago, Lord Brahma put all the planets at the 0° of Aries and gave them the order to start their motion. According to the angles made between those planets, yogas (planetary combinations) started to be formed. Those yogas started to give “birth” to different bodies, and once the material creation was ready, Lord Brahma “invited” the souls to live in those bodies and start what we call life. In 1984, I was invited to live in a house built in a beautiful complex called Lambton in the city of Washington (County of Tyne and Wear in the North East of England). The ancestors of George Washington had a huge piece of land, and their house is now a museum in what it is called Washington Village. Around this village, the British government experimented with different building of mass construction. We have a quarter called Concord were houses for miners were built following the similar style of architecture to similar houses. In another quarter, there are pre-fabricated houses, built panel by panel. There are various quarters with a different type of architecture, but the best houses are in Lambton. In Lambton, the most modern of all and the more new, not a single house is repeated in design, but externally, all the houses follow a similar pattern in design. Even inside the houses, the orientation of the rooms is different. I was told by some local neighbours, that the architect in charge of the whole project at Lambton, used to live in one of the houses. This architect draw the plans for the whole colony, including gardens, streets (not in straight lines), house (not like show boxes), the local shops, church, school, entertainment hall, etc. Once there were enough houses to be inhabited, the government invited some families to live there. In a similar example, Brahma builds the structure first and then the jives (souls) are invited. There are 8,400,000 species of life and according to our desires and karma, we are given the opportunity to inhabit any of those bodies. >From the simplest form of life, crossing to rocks, gems, stars, fish, plants, insects, mammals, humans, demons, demigods, etc, the soul is given the opportunity to evolve their intentions. In a country like Britain, there are about 60 million people, needing some 600 representatives in Parliament to balance the socio-politic-economic structure. Therefore what to think of this universe that needs some 33 million demigods to regulate the structure called life. The great Napoleon could move 500,000 soldiers, thinking in their supplies of cloths, food, shelter, medicine, transport etc. But he did not have the capacity to manage more than that. A demigod has more brain capacity that Napoleon but still we need many of them to control this universe. However, I have to say that God can control all the universes because He is Omnipresent, Omnipotent and Omniscient. In the universal management, we have a Guru, called Brihaspati and his residence is the planet called Jupiter. Guru is the guru to the demigods. Sukra is the guru to the demons (asuras). To be fair, demons and demigods have to have a guru. Both sides need different teachings and a different guidance. Take the example given in aspirins. Aspirins are very good to alleviate pains, but they were invented by a materialistic man. Should we avoid aspirins? Under the concept that we are holly and therefore we do not want to be “polluted” by the invention coming from an “unholy” person? Or should we take advantage of the available means to balance our well-being? In a similar concept, should we avoid the use of the Northern Style of charts because they were given by Sukra? We should not be extremists, we should balance the environment to help us move to a higher consciousness. Best wishes Natabara Das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
