Spiritual paths from D-20 (Samkhya, Yoga, Vedanta, Jaimini sutras)

[Guest guest]

Vyam Vyasa-devaya Namah.

 

Dear PVRji,

That was a very informative post.

The following is my extrapolation from your post coupled with my own

general understandings. Please verify/correct and add more comments

as appropritate.

 

Guru, Sukra and Budh stand for philosophical approach, while

representing different paths - but the methodology is philosophical

or gnana yoga. Isnt mercury a significator for

meditation/contemplation?

 

Saturn stands for Raja yoga or tapas (Patanjali yoga sutras and/or

tapas/sanyas).

 

Rahu - may be nyaya or no fully immersed in materialism.

 

Ketu - mystic experiences? (under special conditions grantor of

moksha?)

 

Mars - shows some aggression in the path. Depending on influence of

other grahas mentioned above - E.g, Mars + Saturn - severe penance,

etc.

 

Moon - Bhakti marg???? or yoga???

 

What role does lagna, lagnadhipathi, AL play in D-20?

 

What about Karma yoga? - should that be determined by Saturn also

(as saturn stands for karma).

 

Thank you,

-Siva.
