Guest guest Posted February 6, 2008 Report Share Posted February 6, 2008 Dear John, It would ceratinly be interesting to hear the Jyotish interpretation of this story Looking forward to hear from you Regards, aavesh John <jr_esq wrote: To All: In the Shrimad Bhagavatam, there is a story of Syamantaka jewel that was given by the king of Dvaraka, along with his daughter, to Krishna for marriage. The jewel was noted for creating nine mounds of gold on a daily basis for those who held the jewel. The general population also benefited in that the weather became ideal, and kept away any natural disasters including plagues and pestilence. Krishna knew by his intuition that the king wanted this jewel for himself. So, as a concession, Krishna gave back the jewel and suggested that it should be kept in the city temple. Then, one day Krishna had to leave the city to followup on his relatives in another location. When Krishna was gone, a conspiracy by the king's enemies brewed up to steal the jewel from the king. The conspirators included a person who lusted for the king's daughter and wanted to take her away from Krishna. The uncle of Krishna was also involved in this conspiracy. Eventually, the conspirators killed the king and took the jewel away. To make a long story short, Krishna soon came back to the city and killed the main instigator of the conspiracy. However, Krishna found out that the jewel was not in the man's possession. Rather, it was kept by Krishna's uncle. By this time, his uncle moved out of the city for fear of reprisal from Krishna. Since the jewel was no longer in the city, the population started to suffer in terms of health and wealth. In keeping with family tradition, Krishna negotiated with his uncle to return to the city and appease the people's complaints. Upon the uncle's return, Krishna gatherd the people together and stated that from now on the jewel will be kept by uncle while he stays in the city. It is said that those who hear this story will gain benefits from its message. If anyone is interested, it would be a priviledge for me to analyze the meaning of this message in terms of jyotish principles. Please, let me know.
