Guru in Leo

[Guest guest]

Om Subrahmanyaya Namah

 

Dear Frank,

 

Gurus had a few words. Since you are curious, shall I

have a few more words on this topic? In the matters

you mentioned, apart from marriage all have Jupiter as

the karaka, while for marriage Venus is the karaka.

And the important connection of Jupiter to marriage is

that He rules Progeny, otherwise for every muhurta

Jupiter’s strong position is inevitable, as He’s the

greatest benefic. Particularly in marriage, as it’s

the most important function. So why only these points

are refered? As you pointed, Jupiter is a natural

freind of Sun, and please check whether the natural

enemies like Venus’ and Saturn’s areas, are not to be

performed when they transit Leo. Combustion is an

important aspect, if this is related to combustion,

that’s if Jup’s transit in Leo is to be considered as

combustion, then wouldn’t that be applicable for other

planets also? Please check this also. And again,

atleast Venus’ and Mars’ position are important in

marriage muhurta. (You may refer the great

Varahamihira’s Brihat Samhita for the results of

planetary positions in marriage muhurta). The scholars

in almanac casting, whose views have to be given more

weightage, differs on this point and they themselves

have come up with different logics. Many dont consider

this.

 

But, then this has to be seen from the achara

prevailing in the respective places. If in a

particular place, marriages are not performed in this

period, it’s to be avoided. If not, this can be

ignored. Atleast in my home state, Kerala, Jupiter’s

transit in Leo has no relation with marriage muhurta.

In some parts of Maharashtra also as I’ve read.

 

Since you are going through Muhurta, I can share an

interesting incident. Once a brahmin approached a few

famous jyotishis for a muhurta for upanayanam (thread

ceremony)of his son. All jyotishis outrightly told

that during that year there was no muhurta for

upanayanam of this boy. At last one other jyotishi

gave him a muhurta, which this person showed all other

jyotishis. Since they were sure that no muhurta is

avaliable, they wanted to see how this person could

give him a muhurta. It was an ashtama rashi(moon’s

transit over 8th rashi from natal moon) which has to

be invariably avoided for all muhurtas. Actually these

jyotishis were waiting for an occation to degrade the

other jyotishi as He was said to be more accurate in

his predictions. They all assembled and asked for the

other jyotishi to meet them. When questioned, he told

them that, if that boy cant do upanayanam in that

year, he will be ‘brasht’ later on. The reason was

next year his father will expire and for next one

year, he’ll have deeksha. Then next year, his mother

will expire, that deeksha will continue for a year.

After that the age before upanayanam is to be done,

will be over. Hence, in order to avoid this, even

ashtama rashi was selected for muhurta.

 

Best Wishes,

 

Saaji
