|Sri Varaha| SJC Delhi - doubts & Vata Dosha

[Guest guest]

OM Rameshvara Namaha,

 

 

Namaskr,

Folks

this discussion is on Vata imbalance...

In my cart Chandra ( mind) is in earth sign of Taurus ( for Vata

dosha) and has Rasi Dristi from Mars ( pitta) and Shani is

in Virgo ( Hasta Nakshtra). Rahu also gives Graha Dristi

to Chandra - all causing a Vata imbalance that is experienced.

 

What to do about this?

1. Use of tripahla for balancing all doshas ?

2. Tagara possibly? with Mahasudarshan a blend of

40 herbs...

I am open to suggestions.

 

Regards,

frank in san diego

for mamsa.

has a neurological disorder does not mean he has a Vata constitution

or is fearful and nervous. V, P or K can enter majja dhatu and each

will produce very different symptoms. Vata however, is the dosha

that causes tremors and physical nervous disorders.

> Saturn, even if we accept that it rules mamsa dhatu, is a Vata

planet and causes Vata disorders due to excess Vayu (fear,

nervousness, anxiety and insomnia). According to the Ayurvedic

texts, Vata is responsible for 80 different diseases, while P is

responsible for 40 and K for 20. This of course aligns well with the

fact that Saturn is a Vata planet. Vata tends towards disease and

decay.

and practical organization!

Yes, he may cause nervousness and distorted thinking due to the

influence of Vata due to placement, dristhi, etc.

was Mercury rules Nerves and Mars rules Muscles. Affliction to these

planets shows troubles to the system ruled by them. However, the

recent debate, made me rethink and I checked up BPHS, from which I

quoted. Actually I am still in the process of reconciling as I have

practically seen horoscopes with Mercury's affliction and nervous

disorders and it is difficult for me to accept Saturn as the karaka

for nerves.

belong to either Mars or Saturn, whose dhatus are somewhat near to

muscles. I checked up Brhat Jataka also to see what Varahamihira has

to say on this and found he also says exaclty the same thing.

However, I am more inclined to take Saturn, now for muscles, as

Muscles are almost dependent on nerves to function, otherwise they

just can't function. However, this is not a strong arguement as

other systems are also interdependent as Mucles cannot live without

blood too!

>

> I pointed out the parasara didn't explicitly mention muscles for

Saturn, but nerves for him, just point out that there should be more

justification behind rulership of Muscles as Parasara has not

mentioned it explicitly. The function of muscles and nerves, however

vary a lot. Muscles helps in body movement, helps us in action etc,

but nerves are the coordinating agents, which transfer the

information from one place to another and the primary communicator.

Only because the function of muscles matches with Mars and that of

Nerves matches with Mercury, I took them as the karaka. There are

many things which are left un-reconciled. Please help me in

reconciling.

Frank,

 

I should have called this a bandana yoga. I think you are familiar with this.

Interesting that Saturn has argala on the lagna and it is obstructed by Rahu. Who wins?
