Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Dear Narasimha Very nice analysis,may god bless you. I am new to this community hence going through all your beautiful articles. 2nd house from lagan as mentioned by you shows our Nourishment and sustainence and we should not link it with actual money as defined in the texts...very correct. Arudh of 2nd that is dhan pad shows how world perceive our Nourishment and sustainence--this is also very correct. But 2nd from AL will show the actual status of our Bank balance. We may be projecting(dhan pad)in front of the world that we are very rich but there is a huge possibility that its a mere show off. Therefore more than the 2nd house from lagan and its arudh, to see the money aspect we must focus on the 2nd from AL. Also 2nd house from any house is the strength of the previous house. thats why they are termed as panaphar houses. Thats why 2nd house from AL has lot of importance as per parashar.
