SJC Delhi - doubts regarding curses

[Guest guest]

Dear Sanjayji and other Gurus,

 

(For those of you who may wonder why we don't put up our discussions on the list: we have class every Sunday as Shiv Pujan takes our classes. Prior to that Sanjayji used to take them. So our doubts get cleared in class itself. Once in a while when our teachers are absent, we are send notes and assignments by Sanjayji, in lieu of his absence. We then put up our questions on the list.)

 

In last Sundays class we were given an assignment on curses and how to read evil yogas in a chart. The two examples that we had to work on was Christopher Reeve's and Sri Rama's charts. Those present were Rohini Purang, Uma Purang, Saroj Tomar, Gaurav Varma, Deepika Sanghi, Suneet Kumar, Prashant Narang, Eric and myself.

 

We had a doubt regarding Rama's chart. Our class notes clearly stated that the graha drishti of at least two malefics were essential for a curse. Secondly, benefics which were being cursed, represented the person cursing. In Rama's chart Jupiter and Moon are being affected. Jupiter represents the curse of a Brahmin, in this case Maharshi Narada. Since Moon is conjoined Jupiter, it shows that the curse will be actualised through mother, that is Kaikeyai. But will Moon by itself also represent a second curse, a matri shaap, or Moon is only acting as a medium? Ideally Moon should also show a second curse, apart from executing Jupiter's curse. If so, then whose?

 

Will there be a pitri shaap as well? Sun is aspected by Saturn, Rahu and Mars. If not, why?

 

(For those who do not have Rama's chart: Lagna: Cancer with Jupiter and Moon, Saturn in 4th in Libra, Rahu in 6th in Sagittarius, Mars in 7th in Capricorn, Venus in 9th in Pisces, Sun in 10th in Aries, Mercury in 11th in Taurus and Ketu in 12th in Gemini. AL and UL are in Sagittarius.)

 

Christopher Reeve's chart has two curses. Since Saturn is linked to both of them, his fall of the horse and subsequent paralysis occurred in Saturn dasha. We were assigned to seek remedies for him. We were unanimous in feeling that a ugra rupa of Devi, like Kali, was the only remedy for him. His ishta is Venus, placed in Scorpio, and aspected only by Saturn (rashi drishti) from Cancer. Venus would imply Lakshmi. This is strengthened by the fact that Venus is in Libra in the 4th in Rashi. But some students felt that since Venus was in Scorpio it should be Chamunda. We need a clarification on that. His palana karta is Saturn in Cancer. Palana devata is usually Devi, so we opted for Kali. His BK is also Saturn. Saturn is thus linked to his ishta, palana devata and his BK. Saturn is the planet causing the fructification of both the curses in its dasha, while it was transiting his 8th house, forming kantaka from lagna and ardha-kantaka from Moon. (The Navamsa lagna is also in nidhanamsa with a pishacha badhak). Given all these indications everyone opted for Kali as the remedy.

 

The question also arises, will propitiation of Mercury, in the form of worship of Vishnu, help? The second curse is the worst, with Mercury being the lord of dusthanas, and the cause of his paralysis.

 

With best regards,
