Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Karana Names - Written by Sreenadh Karana is half of a Tithi. Here we are interested in the 7 Karana names and their meaning. This could be useful to some. 1. Bava In south india this is also know as `Simha karnam' (Lion). Anyway the word Bava has nothing to do with Lion. This word originated from the Sanskrit word `Vapa', which means testacies, sperm, flush, creativity and so on. So naturally as you could expect this karana is good for all Chara deeds (such as journey, daily duties, business etc) and also for Stira deeds (such as sawing seeds, sexual intercourse, for putting foundation stone, worship, temple creation and so on). 2. Balava In south india this is also known as `Puli karanam' (Leopard). Anyway the word Balava has nothing to do with leopard. This word originated from the Sanskrit word `Vadava', which means brahmin lady, female horse (mare), slave girl, prostitute and so on. The major meaning considered here is `Brahmin lady'. That is why this karana is good for Yajna, Homa (fire worship), study of Veda, for reading epic and puranas etc. It is good for all kinds of Santi karma. 3. Kaulava In south india this is also known as `Panni karanam' (Pig/Swine). Anyway the word Kaulava has nothing to do with Pig. This word originated from the Sanskrit word Kulapa or Kudava. Kudava is a kind of measurement vessel (also known as Nazhi in south india). 1 Kudava = 32 Tola. Kula means traditional family. so the word Kaula can refer to anyone who follows a traditional path, or traditional job. For example Kulala is the one who creates mud vessels, and Kaulalam is mud vessel. Kaulika is weaver and is also another name for people who follow the traditional Siva-Sakta tantric path of worship. Also remember the word Kaul, popular especially among Kashmiri pundits – essentially pointing to Kaulachara (Kaula system of siva-sakti worship). Thus essentially Kaulava karana is related to family, tradition and any thing worldly. Thus naturally it is good for all Sthira karma (such as friendship, compromise, agreement or anything which we want to stay for long). 4. Taitila In south india this is also known as Kazhuta karnam (Donkey). Anyway the word Taitila has nothing to do with Donkey. This word originated from the Sanskrit word `Titir', which means getting awards, rewards or respect. Titir is a word with great history. Remember the sage Titir based on whom the `Taitireeya banch' of vedic knowledge got its name. It could be because of the reverence to him that the word `Titir' got the meaning respect or reward. Titiksha means patience. There is one very popular English word which originated from the same root word – i.e. `Title'. Apart from the meaning `heading', the word `Title' also means `entitling', giving a special name out of respect as a award, reward. Remember the `Sir' title awarded in medieval periods to many, and also the titles `Lord', `Dr' etc. Thus naturally Taitila karana is good for all activities related to king, authority, ornamentation, ornamenting the idols and revered ones and so on. Of course, to be near the kings or people in power and authority without losing head demands a lot of patience as well. For pledge taking, receiving position, charge taking etc usually Taitila karana is preferred. 5. Gara In south india this is also known as Gaja karana (Elephant). Anyway the word Taitila has nothing to do with Elephant. Here the root word itself is `Gara' meaning hard, difficult, demanding more effort and so on. Remember the words Garima (proud beauty), Gurutva (essence fullness), Garishta (most dense, most valuable), Gareeyan (most revered, great). Actually this word has a better history. In the ancient past the jobs that are considered difficult are cattle/horse/elephant breading, agriculture and rural business of grains, vehicle related and so on; they demand much effort from the villager. Hriha is a word that points to any type of house. The jobs that comes under the category of difficult jobs and the word `gara' points to is cattle shed, horse shed, elephant shed and so on. For example Aswa-gara (horse shed). The vehicle of ancient period is horse, and the place to land the vehicle is `Garage' as per English language. Note that English is also a language of Indo-European language family. The point to note is that it is just due all this that – Gara karana is very auspicious for any hard and difficult jobs, whether it be related to vehicle, cattle, house, machinery, rural business and so on. 6. Vanija In south india this karana is known as `Surabhi karanam' (Cow). Anyway the word Vanija has nothing to do with Cow. This word originated from the Sanskrit word `Panija' or Pani meaning Phoenician, businessman or market. Remember the word Vanijya (business) which too is a related word. The word `Pani' or `Pany' means Phoenician or business (In the vedic past the Phoenicians did business with India). Note the presence of this word in the modern day English word `company' (com-pany) – thus company essentially means `group business'. Looking at the history of this word it is clear that `Vanija' or `Panija' is a word essentially related to business. Thus naturally this Karana is good for starting a business, selling plot or building or anything of the like and so on. 7. Vishti In south india this karana is known with this self same name, and it is assumed that the shape of Vishti is similar to a dog. Anyway the word Vishti has nothing to do with dog. Here the root word itself is `Vishti' meaning effort without benefit, work without payment; in short `wastage' of time, money and energy. Vishiti is Vi-Ishti. Ishti is yaga or work. Vi-Ishti is useless Ishti or useless work; i.e. work that got wasted. In short vishti means `waste' – both words (vishti and waste) originated from the same root. Thus naturally this karana is not good for beneficial or good deeds and also for deeds for which we expect some benefit (even punya) in return. Just some thoughts. Hope that this would be useful at least to some one. Love and regards,Sreenadh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Dear Sreenadh ji, Thanks so much for this piece of information on 'karana'. All these days did not know the meanings of karana. Also does anyone get affected by the 'karana' prevailing at one's birth time? Does a particular 'karana' at birth indicate one's ups and downs in life? blessings Renu -- In , " Sreenadh " <sreesog wrote: > > > Karana Names > > > - Written by Sreenadh > > Karana is half of a Tithi.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Dear Renu ji, It is believed that the Panchanga at birth is important in deriving results related to natal chart as well. Plus there are some special techniques such as the 'Nitya yogi' techniques used by Sunil ji etc for correlating Panchangas with the result derivation concerning natal chart. But the prime importance of Panchanga (5 limbs of time; such as Tithi, Nakshatra, Nitya yoga, Vara and Karana) is related to Muhurta dertermination. ==> > Also does anyone get affected by the 'karana' prevailing at one's > birth time? Does a particular 'karana' at birth indicate one's ups > and downs in life? <== I am yet to hear any such thing - even though associating Karana results generally with t he native and especially with the Moon dasa is a common practice. A special point to remember is that we might be calculating Karanas wrongly right now - Because as per modern books Karana is half of Tithi (Tithyardham Karnam) - but the question arises - if Karana is just half of Tithi, why should we consider it as indipendent at all? Why should we attribute a special limb to it? Mere use of the word Purvardha of Tithi, and Uttarardha of Tithi must have been sufficient. If Karana has a constent 6 degree span, and is just the half of Tithi, then sinerely speaking there is no new limb such as Karana at all! So what is the clue? What is the idea hiding behind? What is the bit of lost knowledge? Yes, there is some! As per Adharva vedeeya jyotisha, Karana is NOT half of Tithi - but it is the special name attributed to 'day time part of the tithi' and 'night time part of the tithi' - means their duration is NOT constent (such as 6 degree) - and this is what makes Karana an independent limb! Like the day and night which is associated with 'Solar day', 'Day time karana' and 'Night time Karana' are the day and night of the 'Lunar day' (i.e. Tithi)! Any way - just sharing the thoughts - but I don't think that the group is ripe now to discuss such issues related to Karana divisions. I dont' think that the group is ripe neither to discuss the possibilities of Chara and Stira karanas in prediction nor about the intricate issues associated with their use through out history. So let us leave this subject here, if not any one is specially interested.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Dear Sreenadhji and Renuji,Just some thoughts while we are on this topic:I guess all panchang parameters do affect the nativity just as they do for any muhurat.Not many classics, however, deal with these influences and we do tend to ignore most of such issues except some like birth in Gandant, amavasya, etc. But the effects of panchang factors at birth on the nativity have been dealt with in good measure in Jatakbharnam by Pt Dhundiraj.I have personally applied them to several cases and found some truth in them. We do need to probe further into these things and a better picture might emerge.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Dear Renuji,Pt Dhundiraj in jatakbharnam has given the effects of birth on different tithis, yogas, karanas besides ritus, ayanas, navamshas, nakshatras, etc.Just to quote an example, Actress Hema Malini is born in Karna Taitila and Dundhiraj says: " If native is born in Taitila karna, he has a charming and delicate body, is skilled in amorous or pleasure giving sports, knows the essence of arts, is a successful orator, of good character and conduct, has clear intellect and playful eyes " Applies quite well to the personality. Though as with all astrological principals, several other conditions should also support these features in the chart. This was just by way of an example, I may be wrong.Love and regards NeelamOn 17/01/2008, renunw <renunw wrote: Dear Neelam ji, Would like to know more about this....

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Hare rama krishna . dear neelam gupta ji . yes all panchanga we must co relate ( day /thithi /karana /nithya yoga /nakshatra ) in dasa phala analysis . if we take one each we may be misleaded .So charts with dasa pattern is emerging the effect of this influence along with other parameters like ritu .masa and paksha ,even i think Year can influence .As every year world is changing .Many of this technics has been lost or hidden . Now one thought there is 2 kinds of karana . one is known as stira karana and other is known as chara karana . its says in books that those who born with stira karanas are more likely to do fixed nature of jobs ,they stay at one place more . where as the ppl more chara are more movable .they do different jobs and they do work of moving or transferable nature . like u mentioned Hema malini born in taitila karana ( kazhutha karana in malayalam ) a chara karana ,same is the case of benazir bhutto ( i am just taking her 22st june 1953 as birth year and 8.15 PM as there no need of time adjustment ) . so can we see this and try how its working in majority of chart s .THo now a days world has become so fast than earlier days of max distance one can travel is a horse running time . with warm regrds sunil nair om shreem mahalaxmai namah . , "neelam gupta" <neelamgupta07 wrote:>> Dear Renuji,> Pt Dhundiraj in jatakbharnam has given the effects of birth on different> tithis, yogas, karanas besides ritus, ayanas, navamshas, nakshatras, etc.> Just to quote an example, Actress Hema Malini is born in Karna Taitila and> Dundhiraj says:> "If native is born in Taitila karna, he has a charming and delicate body, is> skilled in amorous or pleasure giving sports,> knows the essence of arts, is a successful orator, of good character and> conduct, has clear intellect and playful eyes"> Applies quite well to the personality.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Dear Sunil ji,I completely agree with you. We could try and collate some scattered information on these issues.I took an example of a well known person so that all could see the application. Ditto Benazir...Ofcourse all panchang factors must be serving as pointers to particular traits/events, only if we could understand their language! As you rightly mention about sthir and char karanas affecting the nature of job and life, we also have sthir and char nakshatras, placement of planets in sthir/char/dual rashis (which give rise to various nabhas yogas) and other similar factors that may jointly indicate the nature of job specially if related to lagan and 10H... Here we start the jugglery again!!!!!RegardsNeelamOn 18/01/2008, sunil nair < astro_tellerkerala wrote: Hare rama krishna . dear neelam gupta ji . yes all panchanga we must co relate ( day /thithi /karana /nithya yoga /nakshatra ) in dasa phala analysis . if we take one each we may be misleaded .So charts with dasa pattern is emerging the effect of this influence along with other parameters like ritu .masa and paksha ,even i think Year can influence .As every year world is changing .Many of this technics has been lost or hidden .

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Dear Neelam ji, > the effects of panchang factors at birth on the nativity have been dealt > with in good measure in Jatakbharnam by Pt Dhundiraj. Good point made. I was thinking in similar lines - and also of elaborating the karna results in the group based on the same. Since you have mentioned it, I request you to proceed with explaining the same to the group and also the quote in Jatakabharana which says Karana results will manifest in "the Moon Antara of Sun Dasa". Also note and emphasis the fact that Dundi raja asks us to use "Savana Year" (360 day year) to calculate Dasa.

Only based on these > concepts and chart in detail we can unravel later after going tru one > by one .And i request all members to participate in this discussions. <== In my opinian the approch behind Karana names and co-relating it with the native's nature is simple. The results be "Similar to meaning of Karna names" Some example description is given below. I am giving the other poplar names of those karana (duty; proper for word) names in bracket for the people who are not familiar with the original name to understand the same. 1) Kausthubha (Kimstukhna/Puzhu) = Kausthubha means sandel, gem or elephant. Anyway this is a Karna proper for sages and saints; especially those who follow traditional tantric worship. The nature of the native born in this karana would be similar to the same. 2) Bala (Vapa/Simha) = Highly creative; desire filled; able; artistic; In essence Rajasik - good for kings and worldly individuals with a practical mind. 3) Balava (Vadava/puli) = Brahmanic; good for worship and worldly acts; able. 4) Kaulava (Varaha/panni) = Traditional jobs; people who follow traditional jobs and traditional tantric worship; normal society people; villagers who value tradition. Good for common people. 5) Taitila (Khara/Kazhuta)= Title; good for awards and rewards; good for celebrities; good for govt. servant; creative, famous. 6) Gara (Gaja) = Hard working; technicians; people to who specialize in different areas of work with needs continuous training and talent. 7) Vanija (Surabhi/Pasu) = Business men. 8) Vishti = Useless people - who waste the time, money and energy of themselves and others. 9) Sakuni (Pullu) = Sharp mind; interested in speculation; clever; Politicians. 10) Chatushpad (Nalkali/Quadruped) = Normal people; vehicle related jobs. 11) Naga (Pampu) = Chance for deformed body at birth; Rebels; don't value society accepted paths - but instead creates their own paths - or follow traditional tantiric paths not accepted by current society. Angry, destructive, able. Fire like. Hope this brief description would be helpful in understanding the people born in those Karanas.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Dear Sreenadh-ji, Your mail on Karana name is highly informative. Earlier, whenever I used J-Hora, I used to wonder about the use of 'Karana' names and their significance. I checked the available charts for matching karana names with the natives (perceived) characters. There was a very good match in most of the cases. In some cases, however, there appears to be some mismatch. Like, PVR (author of J-hora) & Swami Jayendra Saraswati- Vishti - . Pandit Rath / Prof. B. Suryanarayana Rao - Vanija Anyway, it is a good learning for me. Thanks and regards Chakraborty Sreenadh [sreesog]Friday, January 18, 2008 11:15 AM Subject: Re: Karana Names Dear Sunil ji,> I request u to giv the karana names ,the chara (movable )and stira> (fixed ) in a table for members I will do that in another mail. ==>> How its affecting the employment and residence.

Good for common people. 5) Taitila (Khara/Kazhuta)= Title; good for awards and rewards; good for celebrities; good for govt. servant; creative, famous. 6) Gara (Gaja) = Hard working; technicians; people to who specialize in different areas of work with needs continuous training and talent. 7) Vanija (Surabhi/Pasu) = Business men. 8) Vishti = Useless people - who waste the time, money and energy of themselves and others. 9) Sakuni (Pullu) = Sharp mind; interested in speculation; clever; Politicians. 10) Chatushpad (Nalkali/Quadruped) = Normal people; vehicle related jobs. 11) Naga (Pampu) = Chance for deformed body at birth; Rebels; don't value society accepted paths - but instead creates their own paths - or follow traditional tantiric paths not accepted by current society.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 Dear Sreenadh ji, This is interesting. I have never used Karana as one of the parameters to judge a horoscope. I will start experimenting with this now. Regards, KrishnaSreenadh <sreesog wrote: Dear Sunil ji,> I request u to giv the karana names ,the chara (movable )and stira> (fixed ) in a table for members I will do that in another mail. ==>> How its affecting the employment and residence. Only based on these> concepts and chart in detail we can unravel later after going tru one> by one .And i request all members to participate in this discussions.<== In my opinian the approch behind Karana names and co-relating it with the native's nature is simple. The results be "Similar to meaning of Karna names" Some example description is given below. I am giving the other poplar names of those karana (duty; proper for word) names in bracket for the people who are not familiar with the original name to understand the same. 1) Kausthubha (Kimstukhna/Puzhu) = Kausthubha means sandel, gem or elephant. Anyway this is a Karna proper for sages and saints; especially those who follow traditional tantric worship. The nature of the native born in this karana would be similar to the same. 2) Bala (Vapa/Simha) = Highly creative; desire filled; able; artistic; In essence Rajasik - good for kings and worldly individuals with a practical mind. 3) Balava (Vadava/puli) = Brahmanic; good for worship and worldly acts; able. 4) Kaulava (Varaha/panni) = Traditional jobs; people who follow traditional jobs and traditional tantric worship; normal society people; villagers who value tradition. Good for common people. 5) Taitila (Khara/Kazhuta)= Title; good for awards and rewards; good for celebrities; good for govt. servant; creative, famous. 6) Gara (Gaja) = Hard working; technicians; people to who specialize in different areas of work with needs continuous training and talent. 7) Vanija (Surabhi/Pasu) = Business men. 8) Vishti = Useless people - who waste the time, money and energy of themselves and others. 9) Sakuni (Pullu) = Sharp mind; interested in speculation; clever; Politicians. 10) Chatushpad (Nalkali/Quadruped) = Normal people; vehicle related jobs. 11) Naga (Pampu) = Chance for deformed body at birth; Rebels; don't value society accepted paths - but instead creates their own paths - or follow traditional tantiric paths not accepted by current society. Angry, destructive, able. Fire like. Hope this brief description would be helpful in understanding the people born in those Karanas.Love and regards,Sreenadh , "sunil nair" <astro_tellerkerala wrote:>> > > > Hare rama krishna .> > dear sree nadh ji .> > > > I request u to giv the karana names ,the chara (movable )and stira> (fixed ) in a table for memebers to delinate the results of my query to> the grp In north indian names as i know only the malayalam names .Also> its easy for those who use softwares like j hora .> How its affecting the employment and residence .ONly based on these> concepts and chart in detail we can unravel later after going tru one> by one .And i request all memebrs to participate in this discussions.> > regrds sunil nair.> > Om shreem mahalaxmai namah .> > > > > , "Sreenadh"> sreesog@ wrote:> >> > Dear Neelam ji,> > > the effects of panchang factors at birth on the nativity have been> > dealt> > > with in good measure in Jatakbharnam by Pt Dhundiraj.> > Good point made.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Dear Sreenadh ji, Neelam ji & Sunil ji, "8) Vishti = Useless people - who waste the time, money and energy ofthemselves and others" I don't know how far this is always applicalbe...but I don't think it is a coincidence that 1962 born native marrying women for money while having numerous extra marital relationships.... is of 'vishti' karana! If the placement of planets also support such good/bad qualities indicated by karana, I suppose one can make a fair enough judgement of the native. blessings Renu Renu , "Sreenadh" <sreesog wrote:>> > Dear Sunil ji,> > I request u to giv the karana names ,the chara (movable )and stira> > (fixed ) in a table for members> I will do that in another mail.> ==>> > How its affecting the employment and residence.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Dear Krishna ji, It is not a major path, but a common, one similar to other 4 limbs of time (such as Vara, Nakshatra, Tithi and Nityayoga), and could be useful. Don't give too much importance to such derivations - but of course they too are useful, in understanding the quolity of time (including birth time).

The results be "Similar to meaning of Karna names" Some example description is given below. I am giving the other poplar names of those karana (duty; proper for word) names in bracket for the people who are not familiar with the original name to understand the same. 1) Kausthubha (Kimstukhna/Puzhu) = Kausthubha means sandel, gem or elephant. Anyway this is a Karna proper for sages and saints; especially those who follow traditional tantric worship. The nature of the native born in this karana would be similar to the same. 2) Bala (Vapa/Simha) = Highly creative; desire filled; able; artistic; In essence Rajasik - good for kings and worldly individuals with a practical mind. 3) Balava (Vadava/puli) = Brahmanic; good for worship and worldly acts; able. 4) Kaulava (Varaha/panni) = Traditional jobs; people who follow traditional jobs and traditional tantric worship; normal society people; villagers who value tradition. Good for common people. 5) Taitila (Khara/Kazhuta)= Title; good for awards and rewards; good for celebrities; good for govt. servant; creative, famous. 6) Gara (Gaja) = Hard working; technicians; people to who specialize in different areas of work with needs continuous training and talent. 7) Vanija (Surabhi/Pasu) = Business men. 8) Vishti = Useless people - who waste the time, money and energy of themselves and others. 9) Sakuni (Pullu) = Sharp mind; interested in speculation; clever; Politicians. 10) Chatushpad (Nalkali/Quadruped) = Normal people; vehicle related jobs. 11) Naga (Pampu) = Chance for deformed body at birth; Rebels; don't value society accepted paths - but instead creates their own paths - or follow traditional tantiric paths not accepted by current society.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Dear Chakraborty ji, It is not at all a major method, but just one among the helping tools. Another point to note is that the results specifically apply only to Sun Dasa-Moon Antara as per Jatakabharana of Dundi raja, even though generally incorporated in detailed natal chart reading as well in a general form. Love and regards, Sreenadh , "Chakraborty, PL" <CHAKRABORTYP2 wrote: RE: Re: Karana Names Dear Sreenadh-ji, Your mail on Karana name is highly informative. Earlier, whenever I used J-Hora, I used to wonder about the use of 'Karana' names and their significance. I checked the available charts for matching karana names with the natives (perceived) characters. There was a very good match in most of the cases. In some cases, however, there appears to be some mismatch. Like, PVR (author of J-hora) & Swami Jayendra Saraswati- Vishti - . Pandit Rath / Prof. B. Suryanarayana Rao - Vanija Anyway, it is a good learning for me. Thanks and regards Chakraborty Sreenadh [sreesog]Friday, January 18, 2008 11:15 AM Subject: Re: Karana Names Dear Sunil ji,> I request u to giv the karana names ,the chara (movable )and stira> (fixed ) in a table for members I will do that in another mail. ==>> How its affecting the employment and residence. Only based on these> concepts and chart in detail we can unravel later after going tru one> by one .And i request all members to participate in this discussions.<== In my opinian the approch behind Karana names and co-relating it with the native's nature is simple. The results be "Similar to meaning of Karna names" Some example description is given below. I am giving the other poplar names of those karana (duty; proper for word) names in bracket for the people who are not familiar with the original name to understand the same. 1) Kausthubha (Kimstukhna/Puzhu) = Kausthubha means sandel, gem or elephant. Anyway this is a Karna proper for sages and saints; especially those who follow traditional tantric worship. The nature of the native born in this karana would be similar to the same. 2) Bala (Vapa/Simha) = Highly creative; desire filled; able; artistic; In essence Rajasik - good for kings and worldly individuals with a practical mind. 3) Balava (Vadava/puli) = Brahmanic; good for worship and worldly acts; able. 4) Kaulava (Varaha/panni) = Traditional jobs; people who follow traditional jobs and traditional tantric worship; normal society people; villagers who value tradition. Good for common people. 5) Taitila (Khara/Kazhuta)= Title; good for awards and rewards; good for celebrities; good for govt. servant; creative, famous. 6) Gara (Gaja) = Hard working; technicians; people to who specialize in different areas of work with needs continuous training and talent. 7) Vanija (Surabhi/Pasu) = Business men. 8) Vishti = Useless people - who waste the time, money and energy of themselves and others. 9) Sakuni (Pullu) = Sharp mind; interested in speculation; clever; Politicians. 10) Chatushpad (Nalkali/Quadruped) = Normal people; vehicle related jobs. 11) Naga (Pampu) = Chance for deformed body at birth; Rebels; don't value society accepted paths - but instead creates their own paths - or follow traditional tantiric paths not accepted by current society. Angry, destructive, able. Fire like. Hope this brief description would be helpful in understanding the people born in those Karanas.Love and regards,Sreenadh ancie> > , "sunil nair"> astro_tellerkerala@ wrote:> >> > > > > > > > Hare rama krishna .> > > > dear sree nadh ji .> > > > > > > > I request u to giv the karana names ,the chara (movable )and stira> > (fixed ) in a table for memebers to delinate the results of my query to> > the grp In north indian names as i know only the malayalam names .Also> > its easy for those who use softwares like j hora .> > How its affecting the employment and residence .ONly based on these> > concepts and chart in detail we can unravel later after going tru one> > by one .And i request all memebrs to participate in this discussions.> > > > regrds sunil nair.> > > > Om shreem mahalaxmai namah .> > > > > > > > > > , "Sreenadh"> > sreesog@ wrote:> > >> > > Dear Neelam ji,> > > > the effects of panchang factors at birth on the nativity have been> > > dealt> > > > with in good measure in Jatakbharnam by Pt Dhundiraj.> > > Good point made.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Dear Neelam ji, ==> As you rightly mention about sthir and char karanas affecting the nature of job and life, we also have sthir and char nakshatras, placement of planets in sthir/char/dual rashis (which give rise to various nabhas yogas) and other similar factors that may jointly indicate the nature of job specially if related to lagan and 10H... Here we start the jugglery again!!!!! <== There is no need of Jugglery provided one understands the basics well. The fundamental and trustworthy point in associating Panchanga with natal chart is to consider ruler of concerned limb and not its position in the natal chart and arrive at a solid conclusion - it is a popular nadi methodology as well. The details you can query with Sunil ji - who is a nadi mastro as well; means he arrives at conclusions many times based on nadi principles. As you know - 1. Nakshatra - has a lord and you can not the position of the nakshtra lord in chart, and provide a related sold derivation. Nakshatra is a pointer towards the mind. 2. Nitya yoga - is essentially associated with Nakshatras and has a lord, and a solid system of result derivation, and you can not the position of the nakshtra lord in chart to provide a related solid derivation. Nityayoga is also a pointer to the proximity of Sun and Moon - which makes it all the more important. 3. Tithi - does not have a lord, but Tithi is considered 'the body'. Tithi is considered the most important limb among the 5 limbs (Panchanga) and as such the we can expect that similar to Nakshatra or better than nakshtra the tithi results should match to the native. In arriving at deities of for worship etc Tithi is considered with importance, and as such definitely you can arrive at many useful derivations based on Tithi - since it also a pointer to the proximity of Sun and Moon. 4. Vara - Vara has a lord and its position in natal chart is important and certainly helps us to reach some defenite derivations. Vara is 24 hours and Sukshma vara is 1 hour each. That means Sukshma vara is nothing but Kala hora - and Vara sputa is nothing but Lagna sputa! I hope, it is not necessary to describe the importance of the same. Without any jugglery it provides many definite results for sure. 5. Karana - Karana is the day and night of the Lunar day (Tithi). It is said that 'Karnat Karya siddhichaH' (Karana indicates fullfillment of work); or in other words Karana can be considered as a pointer to the type of work under taken by an individual. Definitely all these are DASA DEPENDENT even though they can be applied or expected to be true in a general sense as well. Thus NO JUGGLERY is needed but instead all of them helps the learned astrologer to arrive at many solid results. Note: I am not interested in going into the details of the above methods as of now, because these methods are not as fundamental to result derivation as 7-fold approach. But my objection is to the statement that - jugglery is necessary to derive results using Panchanga; It is NOT SO; there are systematic approaches available to arrive at solid results based on Panchanga as well.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Dear Renu-ji and other members, Although I am a novice here, the following are my feeling about these Karana-s. Vishti - May show procrastination. The lord of this karana (as shown in J-Hora) is saturn. If the saturn is strong in chart, the trait may be overcome. Would request to comment on this point. Regards Chakraborty renunw [renunw]Friday, January 18, 2008 2:50 PM Subject: Re: Karana Names Dear Sreenadh ji, Neelam ji & Sunil ji, "8) Vishti = Useless people - who waste the time, money and energy ofthemselves and others" I don't know how far this is always applicalbe...but I don't think it is a coincidence that 1962 born native marrying women for money while having numerous extra marital relationships.... is of 'vishti' karana! If the placement of planets also support such good/bad qualities indicated by karana, I suppose one can make a fair enough judgement of the native. blessings Renu Renu , "Sreenadh" <sreesog wrote:>> > Dear Sunil ji,> > I request u to giv the karana names ,the chara (movable )and stira> > (fixed ) in a table for members> I will do that in another mail.> ==>> > How its affecting the employment and residence.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Dear Sreenadh ji,Thanks for the treasure trove of information as usual. I am almost getting hooked on to this forum...Jugglery I said only in a lighter vain!!! You know how the juggler maneuvers 12 balls, not letting even one fall or go out of sight. Quite a mastery that is... the better expression would be as parashara says uha-poh-patu. That is what I meant.I'm still trying to learn the basics and the valuable postings from you, Sreenivasji and other learned members is a boon. The knowledge and learning of this divine vidya is so vast that the more you learn, the more inadequate you feel...And...as per your earlier posting I am trying to compile a note on Karanas from Jatakbharnam. However, I couldn't find the mention of " effect of Karnas are felt in Moon's antar in Sun's MD " I shall be grateful for your kind help.Thanks and regardsneelam On 18/01/2008, Sreenadh <sreesog wrote: Dear Neelam ji, ==> As you rightly mention about sthir and char karanas affecting the nature of job and life, we also have sthir and char nakshatras, placement of planets in sthir/char/dual rashis (which give rise to various nabhas yogas) and other similar factors that may jointly indicate the nature of job specially if related to lagan and 10H... Here we start the jugglery again!!!!! <== There is no need of Jugglery provided one understands the basics well. The fundamental and trustworthy point in associating Panchanga with natal chart is to consider ruler of concerned limb and not its position in the natal chart and arrive at a solid conclusion - it is a popular nadi methodology as well. The details you can query with Sunil ji - who is a nadi mastro as well; means he arrives at conclusions many times based on nadi principles. As you know - 1. Nakshatra - has a lord and you can not the position of the nakshtra lord in chart, and provide a related sold derivation. Nakshatra is a pointer towards the mind. 2. Nitya yoga - is essentially associated with Nakshatras and has a lord, and a solid system of result derivation, and you can not the position of the nakshtra lord in chart to provide a related solid derivation. Nityayoga is also a pointer to the proximity of Sun and Moon - which makes it all the more important. 3. Tithi - does not have a lord, but Tithi is considered 'the body'. Tithi is considered the most important limb among the 5 limbs (Panchanga) and as such the we can expect that similar to Nakshatra or better than nakshtra the tithi results should match to the native. In arriving at deities of for worship etc Tithi is considered with importance, and as such definitely you can arrive at many useful derivations based on Tithi - since it also a pointer to the proximity of Sun and Moon. 4. Vara - Vara has a lord and its position in natal chart is important and certainly helps us to reach some defenite derivations. Vara is 24 hours and Sukshma vara is 1 hour each. That means Sukshma vara is nothing but Kala hora - and Vara sputa is nothing but Lagna sputa! I hope, it is not necessary to describe the importance of the same. Without any jugglery it provides many definite results for sure. 5. Karana - Karana is the day and night of the Lunar day (Tithi). It is said that 'Karnat Karya siddhichaH' (Karana indicates fullfillment of work); or in other words Karana can be considered as a pointer to the type of work under taken by an individual. Definitely all these are DASA DEPENDENT even though they can be applied or expected to be true in a general sense as well. Thus NO JUGGLERY is needed but instead all of them helps the learned astrologer to arrive at many solid results. Note: I am not interested in going into the details of the above methods as of now, because these methods are not as fundamental to result derivation as 7-fold approach. But my objection is to the statement that - jugglery is necessary to derive results using Panchanga; It is NOT SO; there are systematic approaches available to arrive at solid results based on Panchanga as well.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Dear Sreenadh-ji, Sorry, I am quoting something from a website (of Larsen Visti) here. I am not sure whether that is the correct thing to do. Anyway, Visti-ji tells that Karana Lord has a major say about which Raj-yoga will be easily fructified and he mentions karana as the easy way to accomplishment. Like Sri Rath has Vanija karana and lord of Vanija karan in 5H. So, Visti-ji suggests that Rath is more popular in Videsh than in India. Similarly the other persons name I quoted is more popular in USA. The above also tells me that I have to go thru' books if I want to learn in details. Regards Chakraborty Sreenadh [sreesog]Friday, January 18, 2008 3:03 PM Subject: Re: Karana Names Dear Chakraborty ji, It is not at all a major method, but just one among the helping tools. Another point to note is that the results specifically apply only to Sun Dasa-Moon Antara as per Jatakabharana of Dundi raja, even though generally incorporated in detailed natal chart reading as well in a general form.Love and regards,Sreenadh , "Chakraborty, PL" <CHAKRABORTYP2 wrote: RE: Re: Karana Names Dear Sreenadh-ji, Your mail on Karana name is highly informative. Earlier, whenever I used J-Hora, I used to wonder about the use of 'Karana' names and their significance. I checked the available charts for matching karana names with the natives (perceived) characters. There was a very good match in most of the cases. In some cases, however, there appears to be some mismatch. Like, PVR (author of J-hora) & Swami Jayendra Saraswati- Vishti - . Pandit Rath / Prof. B. Suryanarayana Rao - Vanija Anyway, it is a good learning for me. Thanks and regards Chakraborty Sreenadh [sreesog ]Friday, January 18, 2008 11:15 AM Subject: Re: Karana Names Dear Sunil ji,> I request u to giv the karana names ,the chara (movable )and stira> (fixed ) in a table for members I will do that in another mail. ==>> How its affecting the employment and residence. Only based on these> concepts and chart in detail we can unravel later after going tru one> by one .And i request all members to participate in this discussions.<== In my opinian the approch behind Karana names and co-relating it with the native's nature is simple. The results be "Similar to meaning of Karna names" Some example description is given below. I am giving the other poplar names of those karana (duty; proper for word) names in bracket for the people who are not familiar with the original name to understand the same. 1) Kausthubha (Kimstukhna/Puzhu) = Kausthubha means sandel, gem or elephant. Anyway this is a Karna proper for sages and saints; especially those who follow traditional tantric worship. The nature of the native born in this karana would be similar to the same. 2) Bala (Vapa/Simha) = Highly creative; desire filled; able; artistic; In essence Rajasik - good for kings and worldly individuals with a practical mind. 3) Balava (Vadava/puli) = Brahmanic; good for worship and worldly acts; able. 4) Kaulava (Varaha/panni) = Traditional jobs; people who follow traditional jobs and traditional tantric worship; normal society people; villagers who value tradition. Good for common people. 5) Taitila (Khara/Kazhuta)= Title; good for awards and rewards; good for celebrities; good for govt. servant; creative, famous. 6) Gara (Gaja) = Hard working; technicians; people to who specialize in different areas of work with needs continuous training and talent. 7) Vanija (Surabhi/Pasu) = Business men. 8) Vishti = Useless people - who waste the time, money and energy of themselves and others. 9) Sakuni (Pullu) = Sharp mind; interested in speculation; clever; Politicians. 10) Chatushpad (Nalkali/Quadruped) = Normal people; vehicle related jobs. 11) Naga (Pampu) = Chance for deformed body at birth; Rebels; don't value society accepted paths - but instead creates their own paths - or follow traditional tantiric paths not accepted by current society. Angry, destructive, able. Fire like. Hope this brief description would be helpful in understanding the people born in those Karanas.Love and regards,Sreenadhancie> > , "sunil nair"> astro_tellerkerala@ wrote:> >> > > > > > > > Hare rama krishna .> > > > dear sree nadh ji .> > > > > > > > I request u to giv the karana names ,the chara (movable )and stira> > (fixed ) in a table for memebers to delinate the results of my query to> > the grp In north indian names as i know only the malayalam names .Also> > its easy for those who use softwares like j hora .> > How its affecting the employment and residence .ONly based on these> > concepts and chart in detail we can unravel later after going tru one> > by one .And i request all memebrs to participate in this discussions.> > > > regrds sunil nair.> > > > Om shreem mahalaxmai namah .> > > > > > > > > > , "Sreenadh"> > sreesog@ wrote:> > >> > > Dear Neelam ji,> > > > the effects of panchang factors at birth on the nativity have been> > > dealt> > > > with in good measure in Jatakbharnam by Pt Dhundiraj.> > > Good point made.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Dear Sunil ji and others, Just a brief description related to Karanas:One lunar month has 30 Tithis. Each Tithi is divided in two equal halves, called Karanas. Therefore, one lunar month has 60 karanas in total. There are only 11 different Karanas though, which repeat to span the full cycle of 60 karanas. The first karana on the day of new Moon is Kimstughna, followed by 8 cycles of Bava, Balava, Kaulava, Taitula, Garaje, Vanija, Visthi. The last 3 karanas are Shakuni, Chatushpat and Naga.Of these Kimstughna (worm), Shakuni (bird), Chatushpat (dog) and Naga (snake) are sthir karmas and others i.e Bava (lion), Balava (tiger), Kaulava (hog), Taitula (ass), Garaje (elephant), Vanija (Bullock), Visthi (hen) are char karnasregardsneelam On 18/01/2008, sunil nair <astro_tellerkerala wrote: Hare rama krishna . dear sree nadh ji .

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Dear Neelam ji, ==> > However, I couldn't find the mention of "effect of Karnas are felt in Moon's > antar in Sun's MD" > I shall be grateful for your kind help. <== I think you will find that sloka in the next section after Karna. That sloka is after or the same sloka which contains the words "Savana varshapasya" - possibly the concluding sloka of that section where Dundi raja speaks about in which dasas the results such as that of Varsha, Ritu, Masa, Paksha, Tithi, Nakshatra, Karana etc would be applicable. I am just speaking from memorty, would have to check the text to find the exact location. But if my memory if ok the above description would be enough for you to locate the exact sloka - it must be with in 5 to 10 slokas AFTER the slokas that speaks about Karana results.

Guest guest Posted January 18, 2008 Report Share Posted January 18, 2008 Dear Sreenathji,Got it. Here it goes... for the benefit of members...as per Pt Dhundi Raj... " ...by considering the effects of ayana, vaar, paksh, tithi, karan, yoga,etc, much knowledge may be gained about the inclination or tendency of the native, his way of life, economic condition, health, achievements, longevity, etc. The time of obtainment of effects of birth in tithi, vaar, karan etc...are thus:Effects of birth in a particular......Samvatsara (time taken by Jupiter to cross one sign) are obtained in the dasha of lord of sawan year ....ayana and ritu are obtained in the period of sun...month in the dasha of masapati...gan, nakshatra and paksh in the dasha of moon...tithi and karan in the antar of moon in sun's mahadasha...yoga in the dasha of sun or moon whosoever is stronger ....vaar in the dasha of vaarpati...lagan in the dasha of lagan lord...house in the dasha of house lord...sign in the dasha of sign lordlove and regardsneelamOn 18/01/2008, Sreenadh <sreesog wrote: Dear Neelam ji, ==> > However, I couldn't find the mention of " effect of Karnas are felt in Moon's > antar in Sun's MD " > I shall be grateful for your kind help. <== I think you will find that sloka in the next section after Karna. That sloka is after or the same sloka which contains the words " Savana varshapasya " - possibly the concluding sloka of that section where Dundi raja speaks about in which dasas the results such as that of Varsha, Ritu, Masa, Paksha, Tithi, Nakshatra, Karana etc would be applicable. I am just speaking from memorty, would have to check the text to find the exact location. But if my memory if ok the above description would be enough for you to locate the exact sloka - it must be with in 5 to 10 slokas AFTER the slokas that speaks about Karana results.
