Guest guest Posted October 30, 2005 Report Share Posted October 30, 2005 Vattem Krishnan ji, <<<Great effort in tracing in sani's version of Nrisimha Stuti>>> Thanks! I think that, for any diety, one needs to only follow basic rules of cleanliness like "madi" and "acharam" along with devotion. If sincerity is there, He will definitely answer our prayers. Still have not got an MP3 of Sani's Narasimha Stuti. However, I have found an audio tape with the sloka. Will now see if somebody can help me to convert from audio tape to mp3. Wendy ji, <<<With open heart and open minds we can find the same truth underlying all treatises...is this not so :-)>>> Very true! Unfortunately, most people do not seem to realize this oneness of truth! Your comparision between Saturn and Satan is most interesting! <<<We all know that the approach of Saturn dasa or the commencement of Sade Sati strikes fear in the hearts of all>>> BTW, Wendy ji, I checked out the start of Sani Antar with PC Jyotish. It correctly gives the date as 5th Nov 2005. So, I think that I will rely on PC Jyotish in future for Dasa/Bukti calculations! Of course, since Sani is nice to me, I shall welcome his dasa/bukti/antar with open arms! :-) Of course, now, Sani is in Aslesha 1st Pada, in Kataka, a watery sign ruled by watery Chandra. When he moves through Aslesha Padas 2, 3, and 4, which coincide with the last Drekkan of Kataka, a Sarpa Drekkan that is also watery, I think that he will once again cause a watery death to many. May he spare the innocent, and those who love God and understand dharma! Rui ji, <<<I did not know what Diwali meant but I did a search on the Internet and found out it means New Year>>> Sorry! The Solar New Year is celebrated when Surya enters Ashwini. Of course, people foolishly celebrate it and make merry, not realizing the true meaning - Surya the atma striving for Moksha by occupying Ketu's star! ~~~~~~~ Balaji Narasimhan * http://www.sherlock-holmes.com/balaji.htm Author, Sherlock Holmes: Solutions from the Sussex Downs Editor, The Partial Art of Detection ~~~~~~~ FareChase: Search multiple travel sites in one click. http://farechase.

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Dear Balaji, You Wrote: >>Your comparision between Saturn and Satan is most interesting!<< Actually it's not my own interpretation but what has been written - there can be no doubt though that Saturn/Satan are the same word (according to early/later Greek interpretation). I do think though that we should not confuse Satan (Saturn), the adversary, with the Devil whom I'm sure is more akin to worldly, hedonistic Rahu. It's clear that Saturn afflicts by way of trials and temptations that lead to penance. Saturn invariably brings us to our knees in prayer/meditation through adversity...MahaYogi! The Devil on the other hand is known as the tempter...tempting us away from inner prayer and fostering a compulsive desire for worldly posessions (or for whatever he associates with). We all know Rahu's capability to bestow worldly riches and power (which is invariably lost at the end of his period)...is this not so? >>BTW, Wendy ji, I checked out the start of Sani Antar with PC Jyotish.

So, I think that I will rely on PC Jyotish in future for Dasa/Bukti calculations!<< Haydn's Jyotish was the first software I used (still have it here somewhere) but I have found PL & GJ to be more reliable - PL particularly with dasas/transits. >>Of course, now, Sani is in Aslesha 1st Pada, in Kataka, a watery sign ruled by watery Chandra.

May he spare the innocent, and those who love God and understand dharma!<< We shouldn't fear anything that leads us to the inner self - even Saturn's portfolia as the custodian of death shouldn't be feared, in my opinion. People fear death as something that should never happen, a mistake, a failure. How can that be when every living thing is on the road to death from the moment of birth. There is no saint/rishi/avatar (from beginingless time) who has ever escaped death. My thoughts are that it's more a "waking up" than a "lights out" :-) We all quote scripture and meditate in order to attain the "unbounded awareness of self, to experience the ocean of being"...we don't fear this! Yet we have such a fear of death? It mystifies me why we have such a fear of letting go of this worldly existence, which is filled with pain, suffering, compulsion and fear...fear of losing a loved one, fear of losing a job, fear of not being loved, fear of being alone, fear of not being accepted, fear of not succeeding etc, etc, etc.. Even the rich and famous are filled with fears. My ex-husband (a multi-millionaire) told me that he was afraid of what would happen to his wealth/possessions after he died. Looking after his will (which he changes regularly) gives him sleepless nights...what if his beneficiaries waste his wealth and don't take care of his posessions...this troubles him!!??

Guest guest Posted October 31, 2005 Report Share Posted October 31, 2005 Dear Mrs. Wendy, Would you also say Saturn would actually contribute something to your life/soul with its influence whereas Rahu would only be a destructive factor in a compulsive way or maybe also Rahu is good for the karma process? I sometimes think Rahu only adds up to our karma debts... Rahu compels us into doing things we would otherwise not do unless afflicted by it at times, but during those times we are actually causing future karmic harm to ourselves... not sure I express myself clearly, sorry.

Also, as we know, the condition/lordship/associations of these planets will have a lot to say about their intentions...everyone's experience is different. No doubt though that Rahu indicates insatiable desires.
