Guest guest Posted December 2, 2000 Report Share Posted December 2, 2000 Jaya Jagannath Dear YND, The four Pada's of a Nakshatra are like the four Tatwa predominating the Bha-Chakra. These are Agni, Jala, Vayu and Akash. Thus the first Pada of any Nakshatra is AGNI Second Pada is Prithvi, Third Pada is Vayu and Fourth Pada is Jala. Thus the Nakshatra borders are always clearly defined between Agni and Jala. That is also a reason for choosing the Gandanta between Agni & Jala Rasi where the Naklshatra Pada at the point of Gandanta are also Jala and Agni respectively. this should give you a fairly good idea about their " Dharmic Nature " as well and planets bplaced in such Pada have a strong influence of the predominating Tatwa. a person with Lagna and Moon in Agni can be very energitic, while one in vayu Padas will be thin. Jala Padas give capacity to think and Brahminical work and so on. this is one way to think. Best Wishes Sanjay Rath - Yasomatinandana das <yasomati <varahamihira > Saturday, December 02, 2000 08:21 Rath [sri Guru] padas Dear Gurudev Please accept my respectful obeisances. Jaya Jagannath! As we have been dealing with Naksatras now, could please shed some light on the principle behind the naksatra-padas. Should we simply take the descriptions of the padas given in the standard texts as the facts and simply use them? Or do they stem from some more basic principles involved - from sankhya, connected with some divine personalities or things like this. To understand these principles would be easier then to remember over 100 descriptions. your sisya Yasomatinandana das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2000 Report Share Posted December 4, 2000 Dear Frank, Jaya Jagannath No the Tatwa order is independant of the nature of the Nakshatra as Sama/Vimsa or Samapada/Vimsapada. The first Pada is always Agni and the last is always Jala.

Guest guest Posted December 7, 2000 Report Share Posted December 7, 2000 Dear Gurudev, Please accept my respectful obeisances. Jaya Jagannath! Thank you very much for the explaination of the padas. May I ask something in this connection? Do all those "danger" rules connected to different padas of naksatras like Hasta, Moola etc. ensue from these tattva divisions or where is their origin? your sisya Yasomatinandana das Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
