Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Dear Mr. Rao, I am not one of the learned members (you say, "I hope it makes sense to some of the more learned members)" but I do understand your mail. However, despite your explanation ... ("Thus, I have presented two planets each for each chakra. One symbolizes the nature of the chakra and the challenges presented by it and the other shows the ways to overcome the challenges") ... I find it hard to believe that the chakras should have two karakas each. This seems unusual. Forgive me for being a recalcitrant student but the order of the chakras and the order of the planets seems so simple and so tidy that it feels right You also seem to imply that Mr. Behari is not a worthy authority on the subject... (you say, "The following is not from any book or from any external teacher. It is from the internal teacher"). Your inner teacher is, no doubt prompted by your vast knowledge, which we all respect and learn from. Mr.Behari seems to have done a great deal of research on this topic during his current lifetime. The references are scattered throughout his many works so it was impossible for me to quote them all in one mail. Am I wrong in considering him an expert on this topic? Perhaps if anyone in New Dehli knows him personally he could explain to them how his inner teacher gave him his knowledge. His phone number is (still I hope) 0091 11 215 1203 You don't consider Venus as being in any way connected to the heart chakra. One reason Bepari gives for considering Venus as karaka for Anahapta is that he is in the centre of the higher and lower triad, acting as a balance between the subjective and the objective ...there is so much more... Do we all tend to forget that Venus has a higher purpose too? Forgive my recalcitrance, please. Love, Gili Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I showed that one planet shows the challenges and one planet shows the way out. Aren't they two different aspects related to a chakra? Then, why can't two different planets signify them? In fact, not just two, but there could be five karakas for each chakra, signifying five different aspects of each chakra. In fact, the first karaka I have given is crystal clear from the nature of the chakras as given in literature. The five two chakras have the five tattvas associated with them and hence the planets are clear. The upper two are ruled by luminaries. It is in the second karaka I have given - the one that helps us conquer the chakra - that my own thinking is involved. > You also seem to imply that Mr. Behari is not a worthy authority on Well, there are many "authorities" and they have given different opinions each. I personally have no opinion on Mr. Behari, but I have a tremendous amount of respect for Sri Harish Johari. He is probably the greatest authority of our times in mantra, tantra etc. His opinion was different from that of Mr. Behari (and that of Mr. Rath and that of mine). I cannot form opinions based on my personal impression of (and respect for) an author. It has to make sense to me. I believe my exposition is based on clear logic. Of course, you can choose to believe in Mr. Behari and ignore me. Or, you can choose to believe in Mr. Johari and ignore me. > the subject...

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Dear Mr. Rao, You seem to have taken offence. That wasn't my intention. You claimed not to be an expert on this and I took you at your word. I understand your argument for several karakas. Perhaps my Aquarius Lagna ("I just 'know' ... don't bother me with the facts" : ) ) is getting in the way of changing my belief. Thank you for your reply. I look forward to more.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2003 Report Share Posted December 3, 2003 Dear Gili, Far from that. No offence was taken at all. I am indeed not an expert on this. But I have read various authors and formed my views and am sharing them with all. My only point is: don't view it as disrespect of an author or his "worthiness" if I deviate from somebody. Also my request is: be open to the possibility of multiple planets signifying various aspects related to the same chakra. Mind (Moon) represents the challenges involved in conquering ajna chakra and intellect (Jupiter) represents the way to conquer the chakra. That is why some people have [rightly] attributed Moon to ajna chakra and some people have [rightly] attributed Jupiter. The two planet lists I have presented are two aspects of chakras. There are other aspects of chakras and other authors may have focussed on them. May Jupiter's light shine on us, Narasimha > Dear Mr. Rao, > You seem to have taken offence. That wasn't my intention.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2003 Report Share Posted December 4, 2003 Dear Narasimha, I am not much in to religion interpretation per-se. But since there is an ongoing attempt to relate Chakras to Planet karakatwa, would you check up the following and let me know whether this logic can be applied to Chakra-Karaka relationship? I think the Karakatwas could relate from Sun to Saturn in descending order depending distance of planets from Sun, from Saharara to Mooladhara as the locations relate to the planets in question. I may be completely off the track,but could you check up. Regards, Chandrashekhar. Narasimha P.V.R.
