Guest guest Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Dear Rao As Chandrashekhar Ji has mentioned before i believe this is Khanda - meaning 'division' in sanskrit.for example in Puranas you have Uthara Khanda,Swarga Khanda etc. And Khanda Anta is end of a division.If you have another continuos division starting from there,Khanda Antha represents end as well as beginning. So in astrology it represents end of one rashi and beginning of another Rashi.But why all ends and beginnings(not fire and water alone) are not considered as Khandantha i dont know.But Ramadas Ji had mentioned the significance of fire and water.When fire meets water it results in tremendous energy.Remember when you add water to fire it creates a great change in momentum and fire will rise initially.Its like trying to take a powerful cricket ball catch without a followthrough of your hands.Thus the planets in Gandanthas will be subjected to tremendous energy,which could be harmful. This is from my understanding based on Chandrashekhar jis and Ramadas Jis inputs.Correct me if i am wrong.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Dear Chandrashekhar, Lakshman, Raghunandha and List, >From Light on Life, by Svoboda and DeFouw, they write that, "Ganda means 'cheek' and/or 'the whole side of the face including the temple', which makes the Gandanta segments the 'junctures' of the celestial faces that look down upon us."

This below is something someone sent me off list and another thing to think about when we see Gandanta in charts or when we speak to person with this in their chart: Gandanta - that these are spiritually powerful places, similar to how we think of eclipses, it's a deeper energy - and potentially very powerful for the ability to access higher knowledge, spiritual knowledge.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Dear Patrice Ji In Sanskrit Ganda means cheek.This is correct. But if you read Sanjay Rath Ji he has mentioned Gndanthas as navel of Brahma(The creator).I will cite him. The Zodiac symbolises the body of Narayana.And the signs represent a twelve petal lotus.This twelve petal lotus grows from the navel of Narayana, and these points at 00 Aries, 00 Leo and 00 Sagittarius represent the Navel(Brahma Nabhi)and symbolise the end/beginning. Thus, these points are called Gandanta and the two Nakshetra-Pada adjoining each navel are called Gandanta-Pada So my opinion(might be from ignorance or as the saying goes a little knowldge is too dangerous) is considering the above and what Chandrashekar ji has told it represents end/beginning of something and since rashis are 'divisions' it could be Khanda-antha. Forgive me if i am wrong.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2003 Report Share Posted November 10, 2003 Dear Pradeep Patrice is right, so are others. We tend to think alike but when we put in words there is dissimilarity. This can lead to confusion. The concept is quite clear, the gandanta is "the end" or "the beginning" of a creation. So at physical level yes it is dangerous, but at a spiritual level it is "opening" of "the dormant creative energy" called the Kundalini. The Awakening of the consciouness to the higher astral planes, the subtelities of the universe etc. That is why it is mentioned, that people who are born in gandanta face danger to life at young age, but if they survive go on to "create" their own style. Creation and destruction are the two breaths of inhalation and exhalation of Krishna. Krishna is the all pervading Vishnu, the all pervading consciousness. The dualities, and the differences persist till we see all as separate, but when we "rise" in consciousness leading to "awareness". love partha vedic astrology, "vijayadas_pradeep" <vijayadas_pradeep> wrote: > Dear Patrice Ji > > In Sanskrit Ganda means cheek.This is correct. > But if you read Sanjay Rath Ji he has mentioned Gndanthas as navel > of Brahma(The creator).I will cite him. > > The Zodiac symbolises the body of Narayana.And the signs represent > a twelve petal lotus.This twelve petal lotus grows from the navel of > Narayana, and these points at 00 Aries, 00 Leo and 00 Sagittarius > represent the Navel(Brahma Nabhi)and symbolise the end/beginning. > Thus, these points are called Gandanta and the two Nakshetra-Pada > adjoining each navel are called Gandanta-Pada > > So my opinion(might be from ignorance or as the saying goes a little > knowldge is too dangerous) is considering the above and what > Chandrashekar ji has told it represents end/beginning of something > and since rashis are 'divisions' it could be Khanda-antha. > > Forgive me if i am wrong. > > Thanks & Respect > Pradeep > vedic astrology, "Patrice Curry" > <patricecurry@c...> wrote: > > Dear Chandrashekhar, Lakshman, Raghunandha and List, > > > > From Light on Life, by Svoboda and DeFouw, they write that, "Ganda > means > > 'cheek' and/or 'the whole side of the face including the temple', > which > > makes the Gandanta segments the 'junctures' of the celestial faces > that look > > down upon us."

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Dear Lakshman Brahma, Probably you are right because Sanjayji tells us to see the Nakshtra deities to understand the Gandantha. e.g. Jyestha & Moola, their deities being Indra & Yama. Likewise for others. I do not remember the Nakshatra deities for others. Indra representing enjoyment & Yama .. represents death (no need totell). Point is to look at the deities of the Nakshatras involved inthe Gandantha. Also, 3 Gandanthas at 120 degrees from each other represent 120 days of Sun's movement(approx). 120 days of devas is equal to 120 years of Humans (longevity)...something pointing to 'end & beginning'. Hope this helps. regards viswanadhamLakshman Brahma <lbrahma > wrote: Dear Rao,Gandha here is supposed to be pronounced as 'Nda' inHonda so it becomes Ganda which means severe Fatality.Hence gandantha means severe obstruction in that areawhich may result in Fatality.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2003 Report Share Posted November 11, 2003 Dear Patrice, Yes that is one way of expressing that.

This description makes much sense. This below is something someone sent me off list and another thing to think about when we see Gandanta in charts or when we speak to person with this in their chart: Gandanta - that these are spiritually powerful places, similar to how we think of eclipses, it's a deeper energy - and potentially very powerful for the ability to access higher knowledge, spiritual knowledge. Like with eclipses, they're not considered good for material pursuits, but potentially very powerful for spiritual knowledge. Kindest regards, Patrice ________ Dear Laxman, It would most likely mean end of Ganda. Ganda is also a synonym for complex like "nyunaganda + inferiority Complex). So the word is obviously a corruption of Khandaanta. Chandrashekhar. Chandrashekhar. Your use of is subject to --- Incoming mail is certified Virus Free.
