Badhaka,6th lord ,8th lord, Mandi, Gulika, Kharesha and party

Dear Brendan,

Namaste,

Please accept some of my learnings from guruji and correct me if I am

wrong. This is partly to test my own understanding.

I think Guruji Sanjay Rath has given some lecture in the west coast

about the importance of the badakesh. I think Laxmi Devi would be able

to tell about the availabily of the CD's with the handouts.

Some salient points are.

1. Badhakesh behaves very much like the Rahu.

2. i) Badhakesh denots All Adrisha (Un seen problems like diety wrath

etc) problems. I remember once he took the example of the breakage of

the Buddha Statue by the taliban regime as an example invoking

badhakesh troubles.

ii) All problems created by ones own bad habits or company is seen

from 6th house/lord.

iii) All problems arising out of our previous life is seen from the

8th house/lord.

iv) Mandi denotes all the sum poison we had taken from other and

hence we tend give back this life.

v) Gullika denotes the sum of all poison we had given to other's

and will get back. That's why mandi is used during adhana calculation

vi) Khara is the general of Ravana's army, he had 14,000 demons as

his follower, Whenever kharesha is bad in the chart one can safely

assume him to unleash his demonical army onto the native depending on

his ability to mobilise i.e collaboration with 6th,8th,badhakesh. Lord

Rama had to face Khara incarnate as he had 8th lord Rahu in 6th house

aspected by badhakesh Venus by rasi drishti. Details of Karesha

calculation had been given in 2003 Boston workshop.

These kaaraka's are either Saturn or Rahu. Which keeps us involved in

this samsara. One can play with many combination of these to deduce

greater evils.

3. Badhakesh can denote the mistakes in our prayers. It denotes our

misunderstanding the higher concepts and understandings. Rahu rules

this domain. Its' the lord of the natural 11th house. Just before 12th

house. He sits there preventing the moksha or final understanding at

the Rishi's feet in Pisces. Ketu opposes Rahu and hence we pray to

Ganesha to remove the obstacles. Badhakesh is a very important concept

(As important as Ganesha the lord of badha,vigna all hurdles).

4. Just as 12th from Atma kaarak denotes the ishta devata 12th from

badhakesha ,if aflicted, denotes the diety we did wrong adoration to.

The lecture paper presented by Guru Pt. Sanjay Rath(aug 19 2003?)

gives such various tips on badhakesha. It qoutes from prashna marga

and other books.

Warm Regards

Dear Sanjay P,

Many thanks for your summary of Guru Sanjay's talks on Badhakesh. I have the CDs but have not had time to listen to that lecture yet.

I'm looking at the chart of Padre Pio, the one that Robert covered last year on the west coast and used Drig dasa to indicate periods of spiritual advancement and recognition in his life. I have give the data below.

With Libra lagna, the badhakesh is the Sun and he is with the 9th lord, Mercury, in the 8th house. Mercury is combusted by the badhakesh. The Sun disposits Maandi and Rahu (5th lord) and the Kharesha, Venus, is in the 9th house.

Now you would expect a great deal of obstruction to spiritual progress in this chart and yet this soul was renowned for his great spiritual works. We have to assume that he had a great deal of God realization from his deeds.

He was a humble Capuchin priest from Italy and was said to bear the wounds of Christ for fifty years, the stigmata! Among his other gifts were perfume, bilocation, prophecy, conversion, reading of souls, and miraculous cures. People are still being cured through his intercession in ways that cannot be explained by medicine or science.

Chandrashekar mentioned other charts with fixed lagna and Lord Krishna was among them but I haven't looked at those charts yet.

What do we look for here? How does the badhakesh function in such cases?

Warm Regards,

Brendan
