Guest guest Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 Dear PRiya, a)About the upaya you adviced for keeping my Sun please:I should take a coin offered by someone else at a temple.I have two questions:Now that my Ketu has become benefic out of my upaya and the Sun has has turned benefic ,too, is this upaya still needed?And, where should keep the coin ?In my purse, wrapped in a cloth ..? b)Beow are the upayas suggested by you for my proffesioanl field: [ 1 ] Keep with you, wrapped in a yellow cloth, a coin which wasoffered by some one else at a religious place. Ask the priest togive you a coin in prasaad { blessings }.[ 2 ] Keep a few grains of rice in a small silver box. Keep this boxin the North East corner of your house.[ 3 ] Go to the files and read about the remedy for Kemdrum yog. Dothis remedy.[ 4 ] Every day recite, as many times a day as you can, the stotrafor Moon. Get the text and the audio from the files. Is it necesary that I do them all to see some improvement?Is it right that upayas 2 is for strenghtening and upaya 4 for appeasing the Moon?Is my Moon both weak and malefic?

Guest guest Posted April 10, 2007 Report Share Posted April 10, 2007 Dear Ramesh, I did not get the mail you sent to the group otherwise I would have replied it there too. I am marking this to the group also so that those desirous of knowing of my comments could view then. I reply to your first queries first then the rest, in that order. 1) Anyway, the reason Venus is always a winner may have to do with its brightness and size which makes its rays reach us (we can see it), even when in identical degrees to another planet. But the reason I consider it a winner is that this is a dictum given by the sages who never said anything in vain. 2) Yes a weak Saturn is more damaging. 3) Debilitated Vargottam planets are stronger than only debilitated planets, though not as strong as when they are not in debility. They are certainly stronger than planets in enemy signs. And one must remember that debilitated planets do not always give bad results, unlike what is assumed. 4) Mars in 2nd house is incapable of delivering good results unless in own bhava or in company with Guru. The ill effects are in dasha of the2nd lord and not of Mars (if it happens to be yogakaraka), unless it happens to own dusthanas. ******** New queries. 1. Read BPHS again. It calls only Venus to be auspicious for Gemini ascendant and not Mercury. Kendradhipati dosha becomes very relevant in results of dashas. It is also well to remember that the affliction of Kendradhipati dosha is severe in ascending order for Moon, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. Kendradhipati dosha is nullified if a shubha planet occupies the Kendra owned by him. That is why having given these parameters, Parashara neither calls Jupiter in case of Sagittarius, Pisces nor Mercury in case of Gemini as auspicious or inauspicious. That depends on whether they occupy or not the Kendra owned by them. He does call Mercury auspicious for Virgo ascendant and that may be due to Mercury also owning the 10th bhava for that ascendant, but then that is also applicable to Pisces lagna for which he does not label Jupiter to be auspicious. It is therefore more likely that the shloka got corrupted in its journey from memory to print, as there is no logical explanation to this variation.. This is my opinion on the subject. 2. Rasi lord does undergo affliction by occupation of the rasi, owned by it, by a node. This has to do with the ability of a node to deliver the results of a bhava lord that it occupies or conjoins, taking primacy in this delivery of result over the lord himself. 3. Yes, the dictum of "Paaopi..." applies to the natural malefics. The effects of the drishti would not be altered. remember that same is the case with the drishti of planets with Kendraadhipati dosha. 4. As explained above, the drishties operate according to the natural status of the planet and does not undergo change due to its functional nature. 5. I have not touched upon rasi drishties, in depth, as I wanted to write about analyzing a chart using least number of parameters possible. Using too many parameters tends to confuse the astrologers more than give them better accuracy. That perhaps is also the reason that most of the later day astrology greats have not used rasi drishti in their astrological classics. I think I have given what are rasi drishties and have mentioned that as the reader goes on to study higher levels of astrology, knowing about them could be of help. The difference between rasi and graha drishti, as understood by me, is also explained in brief therein (chapter 2, I think). If by not touching upon Rasi drishti you mean I have not demonstrated how they are to be used, I have not done so for avoiding any confusion and information overload again resulting in mystification of astrology which the book intends to demystify. I am sure you will agree that hardly ever anyone predicts using only Rasi drishties, whereas everyone uses graha drishti and attains a fair degree of accuracy through its use. By this I do not mean rasi drishti should not be used. I only mean that only the very learned maybe able to understand what weightage is to be given to both types of drishties and when one takes precedence over other. 6. I think I have said secondary for 2nd, college for 4th, Post graduation for 5th and doctoral etc for the 9th for the modern times. I have done that on the basis of how these levels are taught to modern day students and have also said that this (the levels ascribed to bhavas) will change with times. That is why depending on the level of what was highest education at a particular time one has to understand what should be the house indicative of that level of education. For example, long back Vernacular final was equivalent to today's graduation and matriculation was equivalent to today's graduation. Then times changed and matriculation became equivalent to graduation and graduation became equivalent to Post graduation. So one has to understand the difficulty level based on the times when one is looking at the chart and the level of what is considered as highest education at that time and work backwards to predict the level of education from either of these houses. If there are any other doubts please feel free to ask. Take care, Chandrashekhar.

Your book however has been very helpful in understanding many concepts of vedic astrology. Some more questions have come to mind while reading the book. Let me check on a few more. 1. For Sagittarius lagna Jupiter though lagna lord is taken to have kendradhipati dosha. BPHS describes it as neutral. For Gemini lagna however Mercury is described as auspicious! Is it because Mercury is least affected by Kendradhipati dosha? 2. On page 309 while discussing swami Vivekananda's chart you have explained Venus's affliction by Ketu being placed in Taurus. Would a rashi lord be afflicted by placement of malefic in that rashi? Please correct me if my understanding f write up is incorrect. 3. page 310, 'malefics give benefic results when placed in own house'. I presume this applies to natural malefics. Would drishti of Saturn placed in own house alter? I presume it would stay malefic! 4. Does the above also change the characteristic of functional malefics, e.g. Jupiter for Taurus or Libra lagna! I presume its drishti will continue to be auspicious regardless of functional characteristic. 5. I note that you have not touched upon Rashi drishti. Is there a reason for that? 6. I also note that you have used 2,4,5 and 9th houses for general, secondary, college and higher education respectively Kind regards Ramesh ----- Forwarded by Ramesh F Gangaramani/NA/Johnson_Controls on 04/10/2007 09:20 AM ----- Ramesh F Gangaramani/NA/Johnson_Controls 03/15/2007 02:59 PM To cc Subject Astrology Demystified by Shri Chandrashekhar Satyam Bruyat Priyam Bruyat Dear Chandrashekharji, I just got a copy of your new book and have read through first couple of chapters. Based on the reading so far, I must say it is a very well written and also well printed book. You have expressed your thoughts very clearly, not too lengthy not too cryptic! Can you tell us a bit more on the following please? 1. Graha Yudha: Venus always wins. I know you had mentioned this to me earlier too. I however do not know why. 2. Stronger malefic is more damaging: Saturn is an exception, i.e. weak Saturn would be more damaging than well placed Saturn? 3. Vergottama planets: These are considered strong. How strong are the vergottama planets placed in enemy or debilitation signs? Do malefics placed in vergottama become more malefic? I have deb Jupiter vergottama and also nodes! 4. Mangal placement in kutumba bhava 2H. Placement in marka sthana can be malefic during the dasa plus its aspect on 8H can be bad for female natives, saubhagya sthana. Is there more to it? I chose this forum for exchange of mail so that more people get to know about your views and your book. kind regards Ramesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
