Guest guest Posted October 8, 2000 Report Share Posted October 8, 2000 "When Sri Dinnatha dasa of ISKCON showed the horoscope of Srila Prabhupada as that of Capricorn raising with Deva Guru Jupiter in the eight house in Leo, certain doubts arose. Eight house Jupiter is said to generate an Asura Yoga with quite tamasik (base) qualities that was in contrast to the Sattwa Guna of Srila Prabhupada who lived among the drunks and downtrodden people in the USA and preached the name of Sri Krishna to them without himself ever getting into those habits or ever becoming materialistic. So overwhelming was the strength [of] his Sattwa that thousands of people chose a pure and pious Vaisnava life. His faith and teachings are centered on the Namakirtana expounded by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu [...] "Birth: 01 September 1896 at around 16:00 in Calcutta 22N30 88E23 (given by himself). A jyotish had cast his horoscope and made the family happy by the auspicious prediction that at seventy he would cross the ocean nd become a great exponent of religion and open 108 tempes. "The time recorded in the 19th century India is quite variable [...] "The first consideration is that Srila Prabhupada was one of the greatest devotees of Sri Visnu avatar Jagannatha Krishna. Hence, Jupiter should be fortified in a quadrant or trine. There should also be specific combinations in the chart to show this devotion like the ascendant lord in the ninth house with the ninth lord makes one a great devotee of Visnu. If the planets involved in this yoga have Sattwa guna like Jupiter, Sun, or Moon, the native will do a lot of service like building temples (significators: Jupiter & Sun). Secondly, when we talk of crossing the ocean, the 7th, 9th, or 12th house comes into the picture. Since the prediction of foreign travel is linked to preaching and building temples, the ninth house should indicate both and should have the yoga. The third vital hint comes from the age "70 years". In the table [...] the secondary years of the Sun to affect fortune (9th house) are 48 years and 70 years. Thus, the Sun should be either the lord of the 9th house or strongly associating with the 9th house or its lord for the jyotish to have made this prediction. "Accordingly, the chart of Srila Prabhupada has been corrected: birth on 1 September 1896 at 15:24 LMT at Calcutta. [Rasi & Navamsa charts and planetary details omitted] "Sagitarious a very honest, truthful and God-fearing sign is in the ascendant in vargottama with its lord Jupiter in the 9th lord Sun and Moksakarak Ketu in the religious sign Leo. This alone can fully explain his great devotion for Sri Jagannatha Krishna as well as the strong Sattwik Guna [...] This also explains the fact that Abhay Charan (Prabhupada) had learnt all the prayers and religious practices from his father (lagna lord conjoins ninth lord in the 9th house) and that his father was not very long-lived (father expired in his 35th year in the Pitri Shoola dasa of Scorpio that is in trines to Cancer the 8th house...). The dwadasamsa (D 12) chart has Mars in Scorpio in the ascendant showing birth in an upper middle class family [..] "1902: Asked his father to have his own Radhakrishna murtis to worship and offer his food. Rahu dasa Rahu antardasa. Rahus is the Atmakarak and the lord of the Vimsamsa lagna. Hence his period will make the native very religious [...] "1904: started learning Sanskrit & in 1905 he was initiated by his kul guru.Mercury signifies learning of languages, while Jupiter rules Sanskrit. Saturn give traditional knowledge. These planets influencing the ninth house in the Rasi chart by placement, aspect or argala (intervention) and placed in trines, especially first or fifth in the Navamsa, will show learning and good knowledge of Sanskrit and traditional literature. Jupiter is the lagnesh in the 9th house having the aspect of Rahu and conjoined the Sun. It has the argala of a powerful exalted mercury in the 2nd from the 9th and the argala of an exalted Saturn in the 3rd from the 9th house. These three planets along with Moksakarak Ketu are placed in the 5th house from the Navamsa lagna giving perfect knowledge of Sanskrit and the ability and drive to translate/comment on such voluminous and divine literature as the Srimad Bhagavatam. The learning started in the Rahu dasa Jupiter antardasa. In the caturvimsamsa (D 24) chart Rahu is the ninth lord aspecting the nonth house as Jupiter is the dispositor of the lagna lord Mercury and aspects it to show the beginning of education in Sanskrit. "1916: began college at Scottish Church & in 1920 passed BA examination but was disinclined to take the degree because of a new nationalistic fervor. [...] As the lagnesh in the ninth house, Jupiter, makes the person very independent it was natural that he felt strongly about the independence of India. "1921: first born son; 1924 birth of daughter. In the saptamsa the fifth lord ruling the first child is Venus exalted (male) in Pisces (male) and conjoined Saturn (female). Male factors dominate and a son was born in Jupiter dasa (lord of Pisces having argala on lagna lord mercury) [...] "1954 left his wife after she traded his precious Srimad Bhagavatam for tea. "1959: September, accepted sannyas from Keshav Maharaj in Mathura. "This separation happened at the beginning of Mercury dasa. Natural benefics in the third & sixth house from arudha lagna will give the time of sannyas (renunciation). Mercury in exaltation is in the sixth house from arudha lagna and will gradually lead the native to renunciation.It is also in the eight from the upapada in Aquarius (Rahu) and conjoins debilitated Kalatrakarak Venus [...] "1977, November 14: moksa at around 7:25 pm. [...] Ketu in the seventh house from Atmakarak shows that the native will pass away in the first one-third portion of the longevity compartment [...] 72-84 years. This will give two shoola dasas 72-81 years in Aquarius and 81-84 years in Pisces. The former has the Atmakarak and will not kill while the latter has the aspect of debilitated Venus. This gives the range 81-84 years. . Now the second lord from lagna is Saturn and [...] Saturn rules the 82nd year. Srila Prabhupada departed fro Vaikuntha in his 82nd year. The Sun was in Libra defying the standard rules and probably indicating that Srila Prabhupada actually attained moksa. The ascendant raising was Taurus, the sign occupied by the lord of arudha lagna." Sanjay Rath, Crux of Vedic Astrology: Timing of Events. Delhi: Sagar Publications -- pp. 382-390.
