Lesson - Gandhi

[Guest guest]

Dear Sanjay,

 

Mahatma Gandhi 2 Oct 1869; 7-45 AM; 21N37', 69E49' India. He chanted the

name of Sri Ram to lead india to independance and followed the path of

Ahimsa strictly. Bring this out in his chart and show how he had developed

the power to direct such a great number of people.

 

RASI

 

This chart is very strong with many rajayogas giving testament to his

stature. Bheri yoga surrounds his Mahapurusa ascendant. All quadrants are

occupied, by every benefic as well. AK Moon is involved in gajakesari.

Putrakaraka and 5th lord joins atmakaraka Moon in his own sign giving rise

to a Maharaja yoga in the Arudha lagna and 10th house, showing his great

fame and actions that effect the karma of so many. Moon in swakshetra

indicates his popularity to the masses, and his followers of all backgrounds

through Rahu. In AL this shows him as a person who has compassion for all

people of the world. Ahimsa is shown through this universal love.

 

From AL Sun is in the 3rd which gives his fighting spirit, but in a

non-violent, dharmic way. Sun here is in Virgo in the 12th indicating

worship of Rama, who became his guide in this battle. The Mantra of Rama is

denoted by Sun's rasi aspect on the mantrapada. This sun gives unobstructed

vipareeta argala on the AL, showing that this worship is spread to the

masses.

 

Rahu in the 10th in Rasi gives his antigovernmental and societal

inclinations. This is compounded many times as Moon-Rahu combination is

shakti yoga. It shows the great energy that Gandhi has harnessed through the

blessings of Shri to wreak havoc on the balance of British order in India

through the simple act of self starvation. This yoga was activated during

Rahu dasa, which resulted in many ploys (Rahu) to break the British rule. Of

course this yoga was not harmful for India due to its placement in the sign

of God (Cancer).

 

NAVAMSA

 

Atmakaraka Moon has Aquarius in the 12th, the lord of which joins Mercury in

Capricorn clearly indicating Vishnu as the Istadevata. Intense devotion to

him arises through the placement of these planets in the navamsa lagna, as

well as Mercury in the Rasi lagna. Saturn owns the 4th and 5th houses of the

rasi chart showing that his devotion to God is strengthened through his

experiences with the masses and his followers.

 

Mercury rises with Venus in the 5th giving the extensive writing abilities.

Mars in the 5th shows the study of law.

 

His extreme tenacity and discipline is shown through the positioning of

Saturn in Navamsa lagna in earthy Capricorn. Venus aspects contributing to

his discipline in regards to his patriotism.

 

Moon in the 6th from AL matches the AL in the rasi chart to show Ahimsa for

the benefit of the general public. This position is also repeated in Dasamsa

chart. Jupiter in the 3rd contributes, while forming gajakesari again as

well as aspecting, showing the incredible fame that has accrued through

ahimsa.

 

Marriage was during Pisces Navamsa Narayana dasa. Pisces aspects the UL from

the 7th and holds the 7th lord Moon, and is aspected by lord Jupiter.

However both A7 and UL are placed in dwirdwadasa position from AL showing

his rejection of his spouse. This is confirmed by Ketu aspecting his 2nd

house showing his eventual disinterest in sexual matters.

 

Rahu forms a bandhana yoga with Ketu along the political axis showing his

many imprisonments for antigovernmental actions.

 

DASAMSA

 

Capricorn rises with 4 planets, aspected by Mars and Venus from the 6th and

having unobstructed argala of Atmakarka Moon, Sun, Mars and Venus. Rahu

opposes in the 7th house. In short all planets directly affect Dasamsa lagna

showing his enormous sway on all people, while creating a most powerful

rajayoga. The rising sign is also the 4th from AL showing the masses.

 

Mars in the 6th artha trikona shows his intial law career, and then

neechabhanga Sun in the 10th his final career and actions in politics. As it

is placed in AL this is finally what he became known for. Karma is

ultimately controlled by Rama in his case. Mercury and Jupiter in the

ascendant shows the extent of his writing abilities.

 

Vargottama Ketu rises in Capricorn with Saturn, aspected by Venus showing

his incredible Tapasya in regards to establishing the correct political

environment for India. The association of Jupiter and Mercury speak volumes

of his Sattvic desires to establish right rule in his homeland. This

combination in Capricorn is noted by Bhrigu as one of an extremely spiritual

nature, and as there is 4 planets in a kendra, there is also a pravrajya

yoga, which has caused Gandhi to give up his life in order to fulfil this

political mission.

 

SHASTYAMSA

 

Venus is placed vargottama in Libra, showing the mahatma to be a true

mahapurusa.

 

sorry for the delay,
