Guest guest Posted July 7, 2005 Report Share Posted July 7, 2005 Hello Well another techniques recommended by other astrologers are analysing D-60 SHASTIYAMSA CHART and then timing events using MOOLA DASA, but it requires very accurate birth time. Only those Rajyogas which are promised in D-60 will fructify in this life..its pretty complicated and that's all i know. Perhaps J.HORA software can help you to compute all these moola dasas(it requires lot of complicated analysis and it was the focus of another vedic astrology group)... (regarding Shrapit yoga etc., do not worry much about it since all of us have taken birth on this earth due to some or other deficiency in our charts..so we are all in the same boat of Karma and its effects and side effects of generating endless karma etc., )...all the best.

Guest guest Posted July 8, 2005 Report Share Posted July 8, 2005 Dear Mr Krishnan Actually I did not understand your comments.All I undersatnd was you saying, "need review?of all births most sacred is manava janma"... Well since you have commented on all this in a somewhat neagtive/mysterious way, so I am trying to explain or review my comments regarding deficiency. Well If manav janama was really sacred then certainly there is no deficiency. Afterall we have been tuned to think that Moksha is only achievable when one goes through manav janma and even the Devatas cannot get moksha. SO from this point of view it appears to be most sacred from spiritual point of view. But from materialistic point of view it means that we were either thrown from heavens or arose from hell to take birth as a human being(or reach human birth after going thrugh 8.4 million lives)..in all these cases it clearly shows a change of state going down from the heavens or arising from lower lives and hell to human birth state...clearly its a deficiency that lot of karma must be executed now by us to reach heavens or reach moksha...which clearly means we have to go through all types of events and their effects now on this planet..These events can be excellent or horrendous depening upon the type of karma executed by us...but in all cases there are side effects and additional endless karma to be executed and we simply cannot escape from the effects of all these karmas until our physical body degenerates and we leave the world(with unfinished or finished karma)..most of the time we are likely to be born again and go through karma cycle again and again...that moksha is so unreachable due to extreme materialism around us...now may be human birth may not appear so glamorous when you see the rich and por all going thru a mixtur eof happy and painful existence till the end of the life...but still unable to get out of karma cycle birth after birth... hope i am clear...regards..rajesh. , vattem krishnan <bursar_99> wrote: > "taken birth on this earth due to some or other deficiency > in our charts"? need review? > of all births most sacred is manava janma.so why worry?As far as other classifications including the Good,the bad and ugly r based on 5th.like or do not like > worry or not worry? > let's make best out of present by waking up ascdt and > 9th? > Good day and best of luck > krishnan > > "Rajesh M.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Dear Mr Rajesh, Link with materialism.......moksha is "unreachable" "moksha is so unreachable due to extreme materialism around us".. If the aim (mansa,karma and Vacha) is moksha,materialism my not be an impediment in getting rid of some form of body and attain the ultimate. As in the present form of body as human being if we really want mosha the way of life will not certainly be towards to materialistic pursuits.I believe in our actions in the present and the corrections by way of realisations we can force and adopt. After all we are seeking''extreme materialism " and going away from moksha.if it is otherway we will also attain moksha(if this is believed as ultimate). As Humans we are endowed by the God to fulfil our wishes as per our ways of life. Again these beliefs we leave to our scriptures and design our lives as we wish and want. krishnan "Rajesh M.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Dear Rajesh, I feel with this kind of deep study our sages have found out ways and means for every aspect of life.The reresult is we can go up to D/60 analysis.From academic interest, we can work out also Shastiyamasa chart and bring about the implications.Hats Off to the depth of the knowledge and the theories developed by our Munivars.yet in our way we are curious of the issues what are of immediate concern to us and we rarely apply to these aspects.Yet the possibilities for attaining moksha (even without exactly knowing what actually is) is possible and in our puranas there are several anecdotes in this reagrd. we believe them and accept in faith.ofcourse curiosity has no limits and knowledge has no boundaries. krishnan "Rajesh M.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2005 Report Share Posted July 9, 2005 Hello Shri rajesh Ji, As I mentioned there are several ways by which one can "improve moksha bhavas" and get relieved from Karmic debt if any.The aim and the required style /adoption that matters krishnan Note: forwarded message attached. Oh king, you have heard from me about the various kinds of occupational duties, such as elaborate Vedic ceremonies and pujas. In the Kali-yuga, however, no one will be able to observe all these occupational & functional duties properly. I shall therefore tell you how, at practically no expense, one can endure some small austerity and achieve the greatest benefit and resultant happiness. The essence of what is written in the Vedic literatures known as the Puranas is that one should not eat on either the dark or light fortnight Ekadashis." As stated in Srimad Bhagavatam 12:13:12 & 15) the Bhagavata Purana is itself the essence or cream of all Vedanta philosophy (sara-vedanta-saram), and the Srimad Bhagavatam's unequivocal message is that of full surrender to Lord Sri Krishna and the rendering of loving devotional service to Him. Observing Ekadashi strictly is a great aid in that process, and here Shrila Vyasadeva is simply stressing to Bhima the importance of the Ekadashi vratam. "One who fasts on Ekadashis saved from going to the hellish planets." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 10, 2005 Report Share Posted July 10, 2005 Dear Saru, Your 'simple' question is one of the most complicated ones in modern jyotish and would bring about many views, new and old. While it would be wonderful to somehow 'capsulize' such matters in a horoscope, attempts to find such karmic signatures are invariably met with charts that seem to not conform and comply and leave the jyotishi scratching his or her head in dismay and sometimes perplexed frustration. Perhaps we (perplexed jyotishis) thus provide entertainment for the 'Vidhata'! Given the short time that most can devote to questions like these on lists, the answers will tend to be varied and may or may not match with your reality (experienced reality). Lately, have matters pertaining to income and expenses been uppermost to you in terms of concerns? Lands abroad have lately been sounding attractive and how does an elder sister/cousin sister (or equivalent) play a role -- particularly since December 2004 or so? , "sa" <sdjo33> wrote: > > > my name is saru > > dob 10th august 1979 > time 09:27 am > place musiri,tamil nadu > country india > > > virgo ascendent > > kethu and moon in 6th house aquarius > mars in the 10th gemini > jupiter ,mercury,venus and sun in the 11th cancer. > rahu and saturn in 12th leo. > > how will my married life ,sharpit yoga is formed due to rahu and > saturn conjunct in the 7th from moon,and which is also my 12 th > house from the lagna. > > to get the blessing what are the remedies . > > please help me > > > , <bhatt006> > wrote: > > dear virgo, > > > > For detail analysis, you have to send your complete > > birth details, then and then prediction can be made > > and be specify what do you want to know. > > > > Regards, > > > > > > --- sa <sdjo33> wrote: > > > > > hello > > > sir > > > > > > how to find out what sin ,I had commited looking at > > > the horoscope > > > chart,can u give a deep insight into this. > > > > > > virgo ascendent > > > > > > kethu and moon in 6th house aquarius. > > > . > > > jupiter ,mercury,venus and sun in the 11th cancer. > > > rahu and saturn in 12th leo. > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted July 11, 2005 Report Share Posted July 11, 2005 hello rita ji, rita8811 wrote: To observed Ekadashis Please give days when to fast. pl read as under: Ekadasi means 11th day from full moon(includes paurnimas and amavasya).It is ekadasi before amavasya has importance and is also to be observed as nirjala ekadasi.For your reading iam giving below more info:you should even give up drinking water (nir = no jalaa= water) on the particularly auspicious Ekadashi day of Jyeshtha-shukla Ekadashi. Oh Vrikodara (veracious eater), whoever fasts on this Ekadashi receives the merits of bathing in all the places of pilgrimage, giving all kinds of charities to worthy persons, and fasting on all the dark and light Ekadashis throughout the year, in one go. Of this there is no doubt. whoever fasts on this Ekadashi truly becomes a great person and achieves all manner of opulence and wealth, grains, strength, and health. And at the fearful moment of death, the terrible Yamadutas, whose complexions are yellow and black and who brandish huge maces and twirl mystic pasha ropes in the air for binding their victims, will refuse to approach him. Rather, such a faithful soul will at once be taken to the supreme abode of Lord Vishnu by the Vishnu-dutas, whose transcendentally beautiful forms are clothed in gorgeous yellowish garments and who each hold a disk, club, conch and lotus in their four hands, resembling Lord Vishnu. It is to gain all these benefits that one should certainly fast on this very auspicious and important Ekadashi, even from water." following Jyeshtha-shukla Ekadashi, Pandavas resolved to observe it exactly as their grandfather Srila Vyasadeva had explained it to their brother, Bhimasena. All the Pandavas observed it by refraining from eating or drinking anything, and thus this day is also known as Pandava NirjalA Dvadashi (technically it is a Maha-Dvadashi). you should observe this important fast to remove all your past sinful reactions. You should pray to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna in this way making your sankalpa declaration, `Oh Lord of all the devas (demigods), Oh Supreme Personality of Godhead, today I shall observe Ekadashi without taking any water. Oh unlimited Ananta, I shall break fast on the next day, Dwadashi.' Thereafter, to remove all his sins, the devotee should honour this Ekadashi fast with full faith in the Lord and with full control over his senses. Whether his sins are equal in volume to Mount Sumeru or to Mandarachala Hill, if he or she observes this Ekadashi, the sins that have been accumulated all become nullified and are burned to ashes. Such is the great power of this Ekadashi. "Oh best of human beings, although a person should also give water and cows in charity during this Ekadashi, if for some reason or other he cannot, then he should give a qualified brAhmaNa some cloth or a pot filled with water. Indeed, the merit achieved by giving water alone equals that gained by giving gold ten million times a day. "Oh Bhima, Lord Sri Krishna has said that whoever observes this Ekadashi should take a Holy bath, give charity to a worthy person, chant the Lord's Holy names on a japa-mAla, and perform some kind of recommended sacrifice, for by doing these things on this day one receives imperishable benefits. There is no need to perform any other kind of religious duty. Observance of this Ekadashi fast alone promotes one to the supreme abode of Sri Vishnu. Oh best of the Kurus, if one donates gold, cloth, or anything else on this day, the merit one obtains is imperishable. "Remember, whosoever eats any grains on Ekadashi becomes contaminated by sin and verily eats only sin. In effect, he has already become a dog-eater, and after death he suffers a hellish existence. But he who observes this sacred Jyeshtha-shukla Ekadashi and gives something in charity certainly achieves liberation from the cycle of repeated birth and death and attains to the supreme abode. Observing this Ekadashi, which is merged with DwAdashi, frees one from the horrible sin of killing a brAhmaNa, drinking liquor and wine, becoming envious of one's spiritual master and ignoring his instructions, and continually telling lies. "Furthermore, Oh best of beings (Jivottama), any man or woman who observes this fast properly and worships the Supreme Lord Jalshayi (He who sleeps on the water), and who on the next day satisfies a qualified brAhmana with nice sweets and a donation of cows and money - such a person certainly pleases the Supreme Lord Vasudeva, so much so that one hundred previous generations in his family undoubtedly go to the Supreme Lord's abode, even though they may have been very sinful, of bad character, and guilty of suicide, etc. Indeed, one who observes this amazing Ekadashi rides on a glorious celestial airplane (vimana) to the Lord's abode. "One who on this day gives a brahmana a waterpot, an umbrella, or shoes surely goes to the heavenly planets. Indeed, he who simply hears these glories also attains to the transcendental abode of the Supreme Lord, Shri Vishnu. Whoever performs the shraddha ceremony to the forefathers on the dark-moon day called amavasya, particularly if it occurs at the time of a solar eclipse undoubtedly achieves great merit. But this same merit is achieved by him who simply hears this sacred narration - so powerful and so dear to the Lord is this Ekadashi. "One should clean his teeth properly and, without eating or drinking, observe this Ekadashi to please the Supreme Lord, Keshava. On the day after Ekadashi one should worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His form as Trivikrama by offering Him water, flowers, incense, and a brightly burning lamp. Then the devotee should pray from the heart, `Oh God of gods, Oh deliverer of everyone, Oh Hrishikesha, master of the senses, kindly bestow upon me the gift of liberation, though I can offer you nothing greater than this humble pot filled with water.' Then the devotee should donate the waterpot to a brahmana. "Oh Bhimasena, after this Ekadashi fast and donating the recommended items according to his ability, the devotee should feed brahmanas and thereafter honour prasadam silently." Shrila Vyasadeva concluded, "I strongly urge you to fast on this auspicious, purifying, sin-devouring Dwadashi in just the way I have outlined. Thus you will be completely freed of all sins and reach the supreme abode." Thus ends the narration of the glories of Jyeshtha-shukla Ekadashi, or Bhimaseni-nirjala Ekadashi, from the Brahma-vaivarta Purana. SURRENDER JOYFULLY TO THE WILL OF THE ULTIMATE DIVINITY AND RELISH THE TASTE OF ABSOLUTE BLISS. Visit your group "" on the web. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 12, 2005 Report Share Posted July 12, 2005 Dear Krishnan ji Well after going through your extreme fear generating article (whoever read it seriously will reach the conclusion that he/she is definitely going to hellish planets, in case he/she is not observing this fast), I was forced to think that how can GREAT LORD VISHNU give such a vrata(fast) and become so harsh on all, without giving any alternate solution for those who are not aware of all this or are not followers of hindusim. Well after lot of investigating today evening I found that your article has been taken from (with all due regards) this website: http://www.salagram.net/ekadasi-14.htm... ....but I think you have forgotten(unintentionally) to mention it and also did not give the alternate solution, which is also from the same website i.e., "PANDava NirjalA EkAdasii The Pandava Nirjal Ekadasi Menu: Srila Prabhupada's suggestion for Bhima ekadasi (Pandava nirjal ekadasi) Everyone can fast according to degree of health "One who is physically unable to fast on Ekadasi may read the glories of each Ekadasi when it occurs and recite all the names of the Ekadasis; thus he will achieve the same goal as the person who observes the full Ekadasi vow." Whether one is a Vaisnava or a Saivite, everyone should fast on Ekadasi day. EKA BHUKTENA NAKTENA BALA VRDDHA ATURAH KSIPET PAYO MULA PHALAIR VAPI NA NIRDVAD ASIKO BHAVET (HARI BHAKTI VILASA 12/91 from MARKANDEYA PURANA) A child, an old man or a person unable to fast can take something to eat in the evening or once in the day, whether it be milk, fruit or water, but should properly follow the Ekadasi fast. One should not give up fasting on Ekadasi. VYADHIBHIK PARIBHUTANAM PITTA ADHIKA SARIRINAM TRINSAD VARSADHIKANAN CA NAKTA-ADI PRIKALPANAM (HARI BHAKTI VILASA 12/93 from BAUDHAYANA SMRTI) Any person who is diseased, or who is dominated by bile or who has aged more than thirty years (after householder life), they are advised to eat in the evening on the Ekadasi day. Srila Sanatana Gosvami remarks, "Aging more than thirty years means after household life ends. This is understood to be around sixty years of age, so thirty years added to that is ninety years." Furthermore, "One should go to the forest at the ate of fifty". According to this statement, a grhastha's life is said to be fifty years, that is he has decided to live in his family life until the age of fifty. Even then, if one adds thirty years, if becomes approximately eighty years. Therefore, fasting is recommended until a minimum age of eighty (actually it means throughout life). ASTA ETANY AVRTAGHNANI APO MULAM PHALAM PAYAH HAVIR BRAHMANA KAMYA CA GUROR VACANAM AUSADHAM (HARI BHAKTI VILASA 12/100 from MAHABHARATA, UDYOGA PARVA) Water, fruits, roots, milk, ghee, the request of a brahmana, the order of a spiritual master and medicine do not wane one's fast." Not only that it appears that you forgot to mention that you are describing only a special EKADASI (which is without water even) while on other EKADASI' s the fast has to be broken by eating suitable foods which are also mentioned on same website as mentioned above. _________________ My Conclusion(its not binding on anyone): It simple that if you cannot do EKADASI VRATA or are not simply aware of it (as in other religions/cultures) then all one has to do is to concentrate on their GODS and GODDESSES and that will relieve them from all sins etc., After all one is praying to same supreme power in all religions ultimately...you may call the power as LORD VISHNU /LORD KRISHNA, but I may call the power as GODDESS DURGA, THE DIVINE MOTHER(JAI MATA DI)... ***Hope you have no hard feelings here, since my intentions are not to hurt you or any one else. All I am requesting is that please give complete information reagrding all these complicated things, when you decide that you are infact going to such details about new informations...otherwise those who do not understand hindusim will get scared unnecessairily...you managed to scare me for few days! (i trust that all this was done unintentionally though on your part and so i keep no such hard feelings towards you or anyone...i think we can close this email chain here itself..its closed from from myside.)

Of this there is no doubt. > > whoever fasts on this Ekadashi truly becomes a great person and achieves all manner of opulence and wealth, grains, strength, and health. > > And at the fearful moment of death, the terrible Yamadutas, whose complexions are yellow and black and who brandish huge maces and twirl mystic pasha ropes in the air for binding their victims, will refuse to approach him. Rather, such a faithful soul will at once be taken to the supreme abode of Lord Vishnu by the Vishnu-dutas, whose transcendentally beautiful forms are clothed in gorgeous yellowish garments and who each hold a disk, club, conch and lotus in their four hands, resembling Lord Vishnu. > > It is to gain all these benefits that one should certainly fast on this very auspicious and important Ekadashi, even from water." > > following Jyeshtha-shukla Ekadashi, Pandavas resolved to observe it exactly as their grandfather Srila Vyasadeva had explained it to their brother, Bhimasena. All the Pandavas observed it by refraining from eating or drinking anything, and thus this day is also known as Pandava NirjalA Dvadashi (technically it is a Maha-Dvadashi). > > you should observe this important fast to remove all your past sinful reactions. You should pray to the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Lord Sri Krishna in this way making your sankalpa declaration, `Oh Lord of all the devas (demigods), Oh Supreme Personality of Godhead, today I shall observe Ekadashi without taking any water. Oh unlimited Ananta, I shall break fast on the next day, Dwadashi.' Thereafter, to remove all his sins, the devotee should honour this Ekadashi fast with full faith in the Lord and with full control over his senses. Whether his sins are equal in volume to Mount Sumeru or to Mandarachala Hill, if he or she observes this Ekadashi, the sins that have been accumulated all become nullified and are burned to ashes. Such is the great power of this Ekadashi. > > "Oh best of human beings, although a person should also give water and cows in charity during this Ekadashi, if for some reason or other he cannot, then he should give a qualified brAhmaNa some cloth or a pot filled with water. Indeed, the merit achieved by giving water alone equals that gained by giving gold ten million times a day. > > "Oh Bhima, Lord Sri Krishna has said that whoever observes this Ekadashi should take a Holy bath, give charity to a worthy person, chant the Lord's Holy names on a japa-mAla, and perform some kind of recommended sacrifice, for by doing these things on this day one receives imperishable benefits. > > There is no need to perform any other kind of religious duty. Observance of this Ekadashi fast alone promotes one to the supreme abode of Sri Vishnu. Oh best of the Kurus, if one donates gold, cloth, or anything else on this day, the merit one obtains is imperishable. > > "Remember, whosoever eats any grains on Ekadashi becomes contaminated by sin and verily eats only sin. In effect, he has already become a dog-eater, and after death he suffers a hellish existence. But he who observes this sacred Jyeshtha-shukla Ekadashi and gives something in charity certainly achieves liberation from the cycle of repeated birth and death and attains to the supreme abode. > > Observing this Ekadashi, which is merged with DwAdashi, frees one from the horrible sin of killing a brAhmaNa, drinking liquor and wine, becoming envious of one's spiritual master and ignoring his instructions, and continually telling lies. > > "Furthermore, Oh best of beings (Jivottama), any man or woman who observes this fast properly and worships the Supreme Lord Jalshayi (He who sleeps on the water), and who on the next day satisfies a qualified brAhmana with nice sweets and a donation of cows and money - such a person certainly pleases the Supreme Lord Vasudeva, so much so that one hundred previous generations in his family undoubtedly go to the Supreme Lord's abode, even though they may have been very sinful, of bad character, and guilty of suicide, etc. Indeed, one who observes this amazing Ekadashi rides on a glorious celestial airplane (vimana) to the Lord's abode. > > "One who on this day gives a brahmana a waterpot, an umbrella, or shoes surely goes to the heavenly planets. Indeed, he who simply hears these glories also attains to the transcendental abode of the Supreme Lord, Shri Vishnu. Whoever performs the shraddha ceremony to the forefathers on the dark-moon day called amavasya, particularly if it occurs at the time of a solar eclipse undoubtedly achieves great merit. But this same merit is achieved by him who simply hears this sacred narration - so powerful and so dear to the Lord is this Ekadashi. > > "One should clean his teeth properly and, without eating or drinking, observe this Ekadashi to please the Supreme Lord, Keshava. On the day after Ekadashi one should worship the Supreme Personality of Godhead in His form as Trivikrama by offering Him water, flowers, incense, and a brightly burning lamp. Then the devotee should pray from the heart, `Oh God of gods, Oh deliverer of everyone, Oh Hrishikesha, master of the senses, kindly bestow upon me the gift of liberation, though I can offer you nothing greater than this humble pot filled with water.' Then the devotee should donate the waterpot to a brahmana. > > "Oh Bhimasena, after this Ekadashi fast and donating the recommended items according to his ability, the devotee should feed brahmanas and thereafter honour prasadam silently." > > Shrila Vyasadeva concluded, "I strongly urge you to fast on this auspicious, purifying, sin-devouring Dwadashi in just the way I have outlined. Thus you will be completely freed of all sins and reach the supreme abode." > > Thus ends the narration of the glories of Jyeshtha-shukla Ekadashi, or Bhimaseni-nirjala Ekadashi, from the Brahma-vaivarta Purana. > > > > > > SURRENDER JOYFULLY TO THE WILL OF THE ULTIMATE DIVINITY AND RELISH THE TASTE OF ABSOLUTE BLISS. > > > > > > > > > > > Visit your group "" on the web. > > > > > Terms of Service. > > > > > > > > > > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
