Guest guest Posted May 8, 2003 Report Share Posted May 8, 2003 Jagannatha's horoscopeHare Krishna Dear Sanjay, Pranams, I was looking for some peace and was reading a book "The Lilas of Lord Jagannatha", in that book it mentions that Lord Jagannatha's horoscope is read daily. Is this so? If so can you please explain. In the same booklet I read something else which I thought would make a nice astrology class for the jyotisha some day. Someone is asking this question "At the main gate of the Temple there are 22 steps up which one must climb to enter the inner temple.What do they represent? Why 22 in number? Answer given- "Before meeting Lord Jagannatha we must become purified of the 5 worldly fetters, that is,lust,anger,jealousy,greed, and pride.This can be done slowly in steps.The first 5 steps represent the 5 outer sense organs-eyes,ears,nose,tongue,and skin.The next 5 steps represent the inner senses or tan-matras: rupa-sight,rasa-taste,gandha-smell,sabda-sound,sparsa-touch.Then the next 5 steps are the panca maha bhutas,the 5 great elements:earth, water,fire,air and ether.The last two steps represent buddhi or intelligence, and ahankara or false ego,the false conception of the self.One by one all these must be purified before passing into the Inner Sanctum of the temple and meeting Lord Jagannatha. You have touched upon these before but it might be nice to go further ,also it will tie in nicely with the classes planned for the USA conferences. With Best Wishes,and OM TAT SAT Lakshmi devi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
