Hello

[Guest guest]

JAYA JAGANNATHA!

 

Dear Darpaha prabhu,

 

Hare Krishna.

 

Dear Gauranga Prabhu,

Namaste.

 

Today I sent the bank check to Sagar Publications and books will be here around

end of November or beginning of September, maybe little bit later.

 

Thank You.

 

Seminar in Ljubljana was good. There were a lot of information to absorb and

basis are always important to attentively learn. We must really work hard if we

want that after 4 years each of us will be skilful astrologer.

You spoke about conjunction of Rahu and Sun or Moon or Jupiter (Aditya-candala,

Candra-candala and Guru-candala yoga). So, this planets are afflicted with this

conjunction, each in specific way. What if Sun or Moon or Jupiter are conjunct

with Ketu? Is the effect the same? If Rahu is Atmakaraka I suppose that effect

of such a yoga is not only malefic in nature, there will be some good results

also (at least spiritually)?

 

Yes, Rahu being AK will give suffering in the place where he is, and also

afflicting the area indicated by the conjunct planet. But this suffering has

the intention to purify the native from certain karmic reactions that obstacle

his spiritual path. So Rahu being AK may make the native a great saint like

Srila Prabhupada, but there should be other strong conbinations for

spirituality in the chart as well for this to realise.

 

The effects of Conjunction of Ketu also depend on Ketu's position, functionality

and the overall spiritual strength of the chart. If we have considered in a

certain chart that Ketu is capable of giving spiritual benefints ot the native

(like spiritual knowledge, desire for Moksha, detachment form material desires

etc.) then Ketu may also bring out the psiritual side of the planet with which

he conjuncts. Sun-Ketu yoga may make the native a psiritual leader, Moon-Ketu

may give good ability to separate emotions from logic, and Jupiter-Ketu may

give depply penetrating intellectual or philosophical abilities. Now let's take

the case if Ketu is not strong to give spiritual benefits. Then he will rather

give disappointment in material things, and may even prove harmful giving

injuries, sudden changes, losses etc. Then with the Sun he will harm the

status, with the Moon the mind, and with the Jupiter the wisdom or dharma of

the native, similarly as Rahu does. The difference is that Rahu tries to pull

down into sin, while Ketu usually makes you unfortunate, i.e. causes loss or

lack of opportunity.

 

Can you say something about conjunction of Rahu Atmakaraka and Venus. What

remedy would you suggest for alleviating problems which come with this yoga (my

wife has this yoga and he is pregnant now...)

 

The placement of Rahu in the chart generally indicates the area where

unfulfilled desires are left from the previous lifetime. These desires will

also be expressed (sometimes in sinful way) through the natural significations

of the planets conjunct with them. Thus Venus-Rahu conjunction in general may

indicate excessive sexuality. Of course if Rahu is AK, then this alter things a

bit. It may still begin with excessive sexuality, but may bring some distasteful

experiences by which the native's attachment to sex decreases.

 

As for porper remedies, it greatly depends on the exact chart. A general remedy

would be to chant the Rasi mantra of the sign where the conjunction appears, or

for Vaishnavas Parasara recommends to worship Lord Varahadeva to alleviate the

ill effects of Rahu.

 

Also, about Abhijit naksatra; is there any special significance if someone is

born with some planet or point in this naksatra? My moon is in Abhijit. I did

not come across any reference about planets in Abhijit.

 

Pt. Dundhiraja's Jataka Bharnam says the following: " If the birth of the native

occurs in the Abhijit Nakshatra, then he is extremely beautiful, has lustre or

splendour, is dear to virtuous men, courteous of manner, has excellent fame, is

elegant (well formed), is endowed with great devotion towards Gods and brahmins,

is clear spoken and is the chief of his family."

 

K.T.Subhakaran's book ok Nakshatras gives many more details.

 

Yours,
