Dear Sanjay,

 

Blessings to you.

 

This homework is well beyond me primarily, I think, because I have no idea who Sri Ram is or what he did nor do I know anything about Ravana, Sooparnaka or Sita. However I want to try to answer the questions in my feeble way.

 

That this person led a important life goes without saying given the powerful placement of his planets and the multiple yogas formed. Without a doubt the 6 Mahapurusha yogas ensured he would make a major contribution to the world. That Sani is retrograde may not, according to some theories, be as powerful as one might think, however this potential limitation certainly won't significantly distract from his power.

 

Sani's questionable status and the placement of Rahu in his 6th house of enemies give me cause to think that although he may have had serious difficulty with enemies ultimately he overcome them. I base this conclusion on the fact Jupiter is ruler of the 6th house and is so very well situated. If that alone isn't enough he has a Gaja Kasari yoga.

 

Venus, karaka of his wife is exalted, in his 9th house and recieves a 10th aspect from Jupiter. Therefore I think she would have been a great asset to him as she shared her talents and devotion with him. Chances also are that he would have loved her a great deal. W hether he was so pleasant to live with may be another matter. I base this comment on the high representation of cardinal and fire qualities in his chart, both suggesting personal focus and high energy.

 

Sanjay. I fear I am wasting your time and the time of the other class members. There is a world of information that I either do not have or do not understand. Who are these people you are talking about? Until I know the stories I'm totally lost. I have obtained Saravali Kalyana Varma, vol 1 & 2 and will read these.

 

I must admit I have not read the Bagavata Gita. I keep getting lost in it and having no one to clarify my questions as they arise only adds to my frustration. I look forward to finding someone who can explain the stories and with luck will do so in the next few months. Until that time, with your permission, may I continue to recieve the teaching but not send in any work? Until I know more, there is no sense in wasting your time reading incomplete answers.

 

Thank you.........Phyl
