Charakaraka Replacement - Few basic doubts

Respected Sanjay Guruji/Visti Guruji, other gurujis and dear members,

 

Hari and Myself happend to discuss regarding the Atmakaraka

Replacement and we happen to get few basic doubts. We felt like going

back to Guruji's and seeking the valid answers to our questions.

 

Following are our quesions:

 

a) Why Charakaraka Scheme ignores the signs and considers

only the degrees/minutes/seconds within the Sign intead of the

Absolute longitude from a single reference point (say for example

first point of Zodiac)?

 

b) When we consider the Charakaraka Replacement rules, we

consider the Charakaraka Replacement rules for two or more planets

with the same Degree.

For example: Mars 25Ta25 and Venus 25Ar10. In this case we

consider only upto the degrees level to apply the Chara Karaka rules.

Why is it considered only upto degrees level? Had the zodiac been

divided into 3600 instead of 360 divisions then it would have made

these two planets 10 first level divisions (10 degrees apart in the

assumed 3600 divisions). This raised a basic question as to why the

zodiac has been divided into only 360 division but not 3600 divisions

or 100 or 1000 divisions etc. We tried to find the answer somewhere

but we failed to get an answer to our question. Please teach us why

exactly 360 division scheme considered but why not something else.

 

c) In the above question why only the 'same degree' is

considered why not the longitude difference between the two planets

competing for the suprimacy.

For example: If the Mars and Venus were in 26Ta01 and 25Ar59

instead of Mars-25Ta25 and Venus-25Ar10, then as per the rules given

by Sanjay Rath Guruji, we do not apply the Charakaraka Replacement

rules. But when we consider the tussel for the suprimacy for a

Charakarakatwa, competition is more tight between Mars and Venus for

the position of Mars 26Ta01 & Venus 25Ar59 as Venus is almost about

to gain the suprimacy as its longitude difference is only 2 minutes

away from Mars compared to 15 minutes in case of Mars-25Ta25 and

Venus 25Ar10.

 

Though our questions are too basic but kindly clear our

doubts and provide us light. Thanking you all in advance.

 

Regards,

Prabhakar
