Udipi Sri Krishna Math Sri Vidyasagara Tirtha Appointed

January 19, 2006

|| Om Gurave Namah ||

Dear Jyotishas,

>At 5.55 a.m. in the auspicious " Dhanur Lagna'', Sri Vidyasagara Tirtha Swamiji ascended the " Paryaya peetha''.

The Above Muhurtha Chart has Saturn in 8th, I would like to know the opinions of Learned Jyotisha's on this.

The Kaaraka for Good Karma Mercury is quadrant in Rashi and Navamsha

and is Vargottama. So in terms of good work done it's very favourable.

Also the parivartana between Jupiter and Venus with Mercury gives much

auspicious graha influence on lagna.

If some one from Udipi can explain ritual mentioned as " had darshan of Lord Krishna through the

" Navagraha Kindi'' " it would be interesting.

Warm Regards
