Guest guest Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 ||| Hare Rama Krishna ||| Dear Vinita Ji and List Members, Namaskaar. Interesting question. Allow me to share some of my understanding… I think to better understand the answer, one has to gauge more into the Gunas. Per the Classics, Supreme God has manifested in three forms. With Satwa Guna He is Visnu, with Rajas Guna He is Brahma and with Tamas Guna he is Shiva. Accordingly the signs were divided into three --. dual, movable and fixed to represent Satwa, Rajas and Tamas respectively. ======================= BPHS (English Translaiton): Ch. 1. The Creation 9-12. Śrī Vishnu, who is the Lord (of all matters), who has undefiled spirit, who is endowed with the three Gunas, although he transcends the grip of Gunas (Gunatita), who is the Author of this Universe, who is glorious, who is the Cause and who is endowed with valour, has no beginning. He authored the Universe and administers it with a quarter of his power. The other three quarters of Him, filled with nectar, are knowable only to the philosophers (of maturity). The Principal Evolver, who is both perceptible and imperceptible in Vasudeva. The Imperceptible part of the Lord is endowed with dual powers, while the Perceptible with triple powers. 13-15. The three powers are Śrī Shakti (Mother Lakshmi) with Sattva-Gun, Bhū Shakti (Mother-Earth) with Rajo-Gun and Nīl Shakti with Tamo-Gun. Apart from the three, the fourth kind of Vishnu, influenced by Śrī Shakti and Bhoo Shakti, assumes the form of Shankarshan with Tamo-Gun, of Pradyumna with Rajo-Gun and of Anirudh with Sattva-Gun. 20. Lord Vishnu, coupled with Śrī Shakti, rules over the three worlds. Coupled with Bhoo Shakti, He is Brahma causing the Universe. Coupled with Neel Shakti, He is Shiva, destroying the Universe. ======================= For a Movable Rahsis, the Baadhak Sthaana are Fixed in nature. For Fixed Rashis, the Baadhak Sthaana are Movable in nature. Similarly, the dual signs also try to balance each other. So, the above was to do with the signs. Jupiter and Mercury are not "Baadhak" to each other. There is a lot more that has to be considered. 1) Baadhaka Sthaana 2) Baadhakesh 3) Baadhakesh Placement 4) Planets with Baadhakesh 5) Planets in Baadhaka Sthaana 6) More… You may also refer to the below for more examples and usage: http://www.srath.com/lectures/badhak01.htm http://www.srath.com/mantra/ganesa3.htm Even within the planetary cabinet, each has a purpose and a role. For example, Venus has also been designated as a Guru. Hope some of this helps. May the Gurus continue to guide us. Best wishes and warm regards, Nitin. || Namah Shivaaya || ================== Dear Members, Placement of Jupiter and Mercury is important for learning astrology. Why are the two planets badhak to each other? Vinita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
