The Nimittas (Omens)

[Guest guest]

|| Jaya Jagannath ||

Dear Jyotisha,

 

Thanks to Sureshbabu

that he narrated such beautifully an experience which can readily be

vicariously felt. I felt I was there witnessing such experience. I wrote this

article quite some time back based on the Prasna Margam. I think this is the right time I shall share this

with you all.

 

Nimittas always tell us many things and makes us

appreciate that everything in this world is intimately connected with each

other with a fine thread which the Rg veda call the rta or the way of

the universe. If we are little watchful, we can see many such things which we

have otherwise ignored.

 

I had innumerable experiences with nimittas which I started to learn to see when I got into

closer association with Gurudeva Pt. Sanjay Rath.

What I shall say to all of you is be watchful and you shall see what others wouldn’t.

 

Once is so happened that one of SJC

student who happened to be in Singapore, asked me to explain how to read the nimittas. I replied its simple and just look around and try

to find what the surrounding is speaking to you when you get any question in

your mind or when someone else puts a Prasna. He

asked me to illustrate…. I asked him to put a question… He asked something

on his father. I just looked around and what caught our attention is that we

are sitting in front of a small pole which is painted Red and White. Red is for

fire and white is for water. The presence of those colors alternatively is a

clear indication of some kind of crisis as water and fire placed adjacent to

each other represent Gandanta… This discussion

went further… This is a small illustration and all of you can have many such

experiences, provided you try to read the nature. Jyotishas

are the Daivgnas and such ability is naturally

bestowed on them. Just use them!

 

I have written a small write-up on the

use of Lamp in prognostication, which I have unfortunately lost. I hope Hari, M., to whom I gave a print-out, can type it out again

for the list.

We

shall be seeing the use of Nimittas in the use of Jyotisha:

 

 

--------

 

 

 

 

 

 

Following

things to be carefully considered at the time of the query:

 

 

 

1.

The mental disposition of the astrologer has a very important part to play in prasna. If the mind is calm and composed, then it forbode desired result for the query. If the querist puts the question in a proper form in an humble attitude and at the time of putting the querry there is any sign related to the query in the nearby

surrounding, the object of the querry is most likely

be fulfilled.

 

 

 

2.

Following indications are favourable for the objective

of the query:

 

 

a. Sites filled with trees or plants blooming with fruits and flowers (Jupiterian influence)

 

 

b. Free from dirt and dust ( free from Saturn's

influence)

 

 

c. Abounding in gold, gems and such things (Jupiter and Sun)

 

 

e. A pleasant atmosphere (Jupiter)

 

 

f. Where beautiful women are present (Venus)

 

 

g. Auspicious ceremonies such as marriage etc. (Jupiter)

 

 

h. Healthy atmosphere free from quarrels, litligations

(free from Martian influence)

 

 

 

 

 

3.

Following indications are unfavourable for the

objective of the querry.

 

 

a. A burning ghat (Saturn)

 

 

b. A bleak and rugged place (Mars)

 

 

c. A home affected by Poverty (Saturn)

 

 

d. Any such unpleasent atmosphere.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

4.

Touch

 

 

Touching

following body parts at the time of query is not auspicious for the objective

of the query: Navel, Nose, Mouth, Hair on the head or any parts of the

body, nails, teeth (hair, nails and teeth are ruled by

Saturn), private parts, anus, neck, stomach, ring finger, the nine opening of

the body, the palm of his hand, sole of the

feet, joints in the body (gandanta or junction

points) or any depression (debilitation).

 

 

 

 

 

5.

Experiences of the querrent:

 

 

The

placement of different planets on the Arudha or

influences otherwise shall show the experiences the native has immediately

before he asked his querry. For example if Rahu and Saturn are placed in the Arudha

Lagna, the native has seen very low people on the

way; if Mercury or Mars are similarly placed the native could have met sudra people (people performing menial jobs); if Jupiter or

Venus is similarly placed, the querist would have met

some brahmins or learned persons on his way; if Sun

is such placed, then influential persons, leaders (political or spiritual)

etc.; if Moon or Venus is such placed, then the person would have met some

ladies etc.- the influence of other planets on the Moon or Venus shall show,

whether those ladies are of good or bad nature.

 

 

 

 

 

6.

Check the 8th from Arudha lagna:

The influence of following planets shall say a lot on the trouble the native

might be having:

 

 

 

a.

Sun - Troubles from royal personages, ministers, influential persons

 

 

b.

Moon- Starving

 

 

c.

Mars- Fall

 

 

d.

Mercury - Obstrution in his work

 

 

e.

Jupiter- Performance of religious duties are delayed; loss of some articles

 

 

f.

Venus - loss of clothes or garments or some troubles related to that

 

 

g.

Saturn- Delay in taking food and troubled related to that

 

 

h.

Rahu- Legs are affected by some kind of pain

 

 

i.

Ketu- Legs got injured by something

 

 

j.

Gulika- Legs got wounded severely, poisoning

 

 

 

 

 

 

The

abovementioned things are more likely to happen on the days ruled by the

planets, prior the day of query. These results are applicable to 3rd/ 6th and 12th from the AL

too. Check whether the navamsa occupied by those

planets are in Dhatu (metals and minerals) or Jeeva (living beings) or Mula

(plants and vegetations). This shall indicate the exact nature of the problem

arising out of minerals or some living beings (persons) or any plants /

vegetations.

 

 

 

 

 

For

illustrations if Venus is so placed in the Jeeva Navamsa, then the clothes are taken by some thief, spoilt

by some person, torn by nails or teeth or such things. If it is placed in Dhatu navamsa, then it is placed

in dhatu navamsa, the clothes

would have been soiled with dirt or such things or spoilt by acid etc; and if

Venus is placed in Mula Navamsa,

then the clothes could be torn by thorns etc.

 

 

 

 

 

Apply

imagination and creativity to think of dhatu, jeeva and mula nature of all

the planets. This shall make the predictions more accurate.

---------------------------

 

 

One

one Sunday, I with one of my student went to our

Sunday class to one of the reservoir. We were discussing various things. He was

facing some problems in his job front. He never put any query to me until that

day. After a while of discussion, he asked me when his troubles at job shall be

relieved.

 

 

 

 

 

To

answer him, I immediately casted the horoscope of the

moment in my mind and found the following things:

 

 

1.

Lagna rising is cancer with Jupiter in it

 

 

2.

Sun exalted in the 1oth house.

 

 

3.

11th lord Venus is exalted in the 9th.

 

 

4.

1oth lord exalted in the 7th

 

 

 

 

 

and

many such things...

 

 

 

 

 

All

the indications suppoted that the objective of the querry shall be realised.

I gave a positive indications and said that within 14

days (Venus- 11th lord), he shall get a good break. He was unsure as because of

the SARS conditions, things looked bleak. However, I sticked

on, because of the nimittas were

all supporting. It was a clear Sun day and it was little hot. However, just

before he asked his questions, cool breeze started blowing, giving the

indication that Jupiter's influence is very strong as we felt very soothing. We

are sitting in front of a reservoir ruled by the sign cancer, which was very

steady and calm and adding to it, the breeze showed it all. My mind was calm

and introspective at that point as I was thinking on some jyotish

principles.

 

 

 

 

 

It

was amazing to know that he got an assignment so surpisingly

within a week.

 

 

 

 

 

This

is one of the instance out of many, where the nimittas showed that it works. Do your mantras properly and

watchful to your surroundings and it shall work for you too.
