[Sri Guru] LESSON # 3

[Guest guest]

Dear Gurdev,

 

My answers to the assignment are as follows:

 

1.Why do the five planets have lordship of two houses

whereas the luminaries have ownership of one house

only?

 

The luminaries represent Atma and Mind. Atma is that

entity that cannot be divided, that does not get wet

in water, that does not burn in fire, that cannot be

created, that cannot be destroyed. It just changes

from one form to another. (This is also the basis of

the law of conservation of matter and energy). Thus

Sun the ruler of Atma, the principal source of energy,

lords only a single position, the sign of Leo.

 

Mind is the seat of thought in any living being.

Having two or multiple seats of thought leads to

schizoprenia, a very complex mental disorder. In

order to support life for long periods, it is very

essential for a being to have only a single directing

force in his life time and that comes from a single

mind governed by moon. Thus Moon too lords only a

single sign, the watery Cancer.

 

2.Determine the ayana of the planets in the horoscope

of a native born on 7th August 1963 at 9:15 PM IST at

21N28, 84E01 (Sambalpur India)

 

The planets Venus, Sun, Rahu, Jupiter and Moon are in

Uttarayana. The planets Mercury, Mars, Ketu, Saturn

are in Dakshinayana. However, I am not clear why JHL

is throwing up different hora positions. What have I

calculated wrongly?

 

3.Determine the Ayana of the Moon in your horoscope

and also the days after your birth when the Moon

changed the ayana.

 

My birth details are 9th Dec 1972, 2245 hours, Bombay,

India. The moon is at 6 degrees in Capricorn and thus

is in Dakshinayana, Sun's hora. It took moom another

21 hours and 15 minutes to move into uttrayana.

 

4.Attempt to explain the Mantra given inside the Bha

Chakra.

 

Can't get any answers to that.

 

5.Derive the order of the weekdays from the order of

the seven Dwipa. Is there any correlation between the

speed of the planets and the seven Hora’s?

 

Since there are 7 prime grahas, we have 7 days of the

week. The centre of everything is the Atma and thus

the first day is attributed to the Surya dweepa and we

have Sunday. The next most important element is Moon

and thus attribute to Chandra dweepa and we have

Monday. Then the dweepas alternate between those

after the Sun dweepa and those after Chandra Dweepa.

Thus after Monday, we have a day named after Mangal

dweepa followed by a dweepa after Chandra dweepa, thus

Budha dweepa. The next dweepa after the surya dweepa

but also after Mangal dweepa is the Guru Dweepa, and

we have thursday. The next dweepa after the Chandra

dweepa but also after the Budha dweepa is the Shukra

dweepa and we have friday. Finally only a single

dweepa is left, that is shani dweepa and we have

saturday.

Dear Gurudeva,

 

Pranaams.

I cannot really add to the explanations already given on this

mantra, but as no one tried the other one, I will try to give a

few words on that.

 

> In the picture Surya_Chakra.jpg, the script from the top in

> counter-clockwise direction reads OM, hriiM, shriiM, kliiM

 

Om is the bija mantra for Vishnu, containing three syllables (A-

Brahma; U-Vishnu; M-Shiva)

Hrim is the bija for Durga, but sometimes also used for

Narasimha, this bija gives protection.

Shrim is the bija for Laxmidevi, consort of Vishnu. It may also

be used for Radha or Sita

Klim is the kama-bija, and is for Krishna, the source of all

incarnations.

 

Your shishya, Gauranga das
