Tapas in Vedic Literature (was Mayan Calendar)

[Guest guest]

Hare rama krishna,

 

dear john and jyothisha gurus,

 

I dont know what r the combination s can make one a tapaswi ,going by

the puran s its self we can understand many asura s got boons of

immortality and deadly weapons form various forms of god .For eg:-ravan

..

 

Any connection between saturn ,ketu,jupiter,and venus i find those

charts has power to do tapasya or they will be good in spitiruality .

 

Even one can become a good resercher which is another from of tapas if

sani ,ketu and venus involved ,jupiter is generaly i find they r into

spiritual maarga .

 

Connections between dharma trikonas and moksha trikonas wil tell us

residual karma and what they will achieve in this birth ,like budha and

jaina mahaveera were always telling that they took so many births to

become a budha or a jaina theerthankara.

 

I find in one chart of one of the senior astrologer in list -he has

saturn and jupiter together forming brahmana yoga and being ketu in 2nd

to it ,ketu can influence this planets being its vakri always .This sani

and jupiter is vakri and from behind the rasi it can influence venus

also (as per parasara - partial drishti) ,so the combination is there

and rest we hav to watch and see only .

 

I invite scholarly comments from other seniors and gurus .
