Guest guest Posted August 31, 2007 Report Share Posted August 31, 2007 हरे राम कृष्ण॥ Dear Nitish, Namaskar Thank you for your reply. Surely Surya is not Ahamkara, thats like saying that Rahu is Durga. Using that equation we could say that Aditya, Shiva and Agni are all Surya... Taking a line from your mail we are actually saying that Vishnu being an aditya is Surya? Obviously both of us know better than that. See, the devatas reside in svarga loka and this corresponds to the nakshatras. The grahas through their transit of the nakshatras are actually eclipsing them and thus certain forms of devatas come as indicating by 1) the graha eclipsing. 2) the nakshatra it eclipses. Since nakshatras are the basis of the rasi chart, we can find based on the state of a graha the actual devata represented by it. But its only a representation as the Grahas themselves are not devatas. The graha which 'represents' the bondage of ahamkara is Surya, just as the graha representing the bondage of the mind is Moon. And among those born with Surya as atmakaraka we have grades of those being fully engrossed in ahamkara vs. having complete control of ahamkara. Divine souls like Vivekananda, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Sri Krishna being at one end of the scale. With fellows like Donald Trump, Adolph Hitler (exalted surya yuti AK) and others at the other end of the scale. Now, to overcome these eight bondages, there are EIGHT ways to look at God through which we can be freed. For the Ahamkara we must look at God as Paramatman. This is the remedy itself. And the specific form of Shiva who will help us realize this is Ishana for the Sun. So please don't make the equation that everyone with Surya atmakaraka is Paramatman. That would be quite delusional indeed... Infact the concept of Paramatma is the means to which the Surya atmakaraka will be freed of his/her ahamkara. Looking forward to your reply.

Either you mean to say that Lord Krishna represents Ahamkara going by Gita Chapter 10 verse 21: "Of the tweleve adityas I am vishnu, of all luminaries the radiant Sun , of the seven Maruts I am marichi, and of the constellations I am the Moon." Are you saying that Sura/Surya group of planets are lead by Surya as Ahamkara? Are you saying that the Vedas adoring Surya Narayan as a witness of all actions (Sakshi) is an individuality creating Ahamkara Principle and not an impersonal transcendental intelligence principle? Please explain why Surya as Ahamkara should be referred to as Paramatma, the soul of all and `Jagadaikha chakshusay', the eye of the three worlds? regards, nitish sohamsa , Visti Larsen <visti wrote: > > ??? ??? ?????? > > Dear List, Namaskar > Why hasn't anyone started talking about the eight bondages of the atma? > Ahamkara (surya), Manas (chandra), Prakriti (rahu), Akasha (guru), Agni > (mangala), Jala (shukra), Vayu (shani) and Prithvi (budha). > > And how these eight bondages map into the eight spokes of the kala > chakra, which are simultaneously the eight spokes of the anahata chakra. > > Really any talk on the atma and its EIGHT karakas is futile without any > of this. > > Yours sincerely, > > -- > Visti Larsen - SJC Guru > Jaimini SJC - Denmark > email: visti <visti > For consultations, free mp3's and articles visit: http://srigaruda.com > <http://srigaruda.com> > > Promila Chitkara wrote: > > Hello Sharat, > > > > Do you not think that "serving others" comes naturally only to a > > handful people?

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 हरे राम कृष्ण॥ Dear Nitish, Namaskar Thank you for this mail. I will be answering the main points of your mail. The main points being the foundation of the facts/statements you present. You wrote: So lets begin with Eightfold-Prakriti of Krishna, your reference point itself is incorrect. Gita Chapter 7 sloka 4 states:... I cannot disagree, as i had wrongly written prakriti instead of buddhi. Siva purana confirms this: Siva Purana, Vishvesvara Samhita,4 Prakriti comprises of buddhi, ahamkara, gunaatmaka and panchatanmatra. All these combined are called Prakriti. You wrote: Neither the five tattwas, Buddhi nor Manah can be assigned to Rahu and thus Ahamkara is the only thing that can logically be assigned to Rahu. So the correct version of eightfold representation of Prakriti is:... Mana and Buddhi can indeed both be attributed to Rahu, as Rahu is well known to show the desires of the mind. Here the Parampara comes to our help and specifically defines Buddhi to be assigned to Rahu, whereas Mana and Ahamkara have been assigned to Moon and Sun respectively. So why does Sun represent Ahamkara? aham = self. kaara=causative/doer. The cause of self in other words. Monier Williams translates this as: m. conception of one's individuality , self-consciousness ChUp. & c. the making of self , thinking of self , egotism MBh. & c. Where Rahu caused the desire which led to rebirth, it is a given that the Sun is the actual creator of everything, and with that creation the ahamkaara is one of the negative effects of the same. But this is just my justification the traditions teachings. You wrote: There is ONLY ONE bondage and not Eight of them. Ahamkara doesn't cause bondage of atma as you have written, but Karma alone causes bondage of atma, and is not a part of eightfold-prakriti referred above. Refer Gita Chapter 2 verse 39 as follows: The sloka you qoute is right, but your inference... Heres what Siva Purana says: Siva Purana, Vishvesvara Samhita,2 Because of remaining in eight types of bandhana, the soul is called Jeeva. When a person is freed from these bondages, the person is called Mukta. Siva Purana, Vishvesvara Samhita,3 Emancipation is the control of these bondages of prakriti etc. One trapped in these is called Jeeva, and one freed from them is called Mukta. Siva Purana, Vishvesvara Samhita,4 Prakriti comprises of buddhi, ahamkara, gunaatmaka and panchatanmatra. All these combined are called Prakriti. Siva Purana, Vishvesvara Samhita,5 These eight bondages are the body. The activities of this body are called the karmas. Later in sloka 8 Suta explains that due to karmas the soul is bound by these eight bondages. So these are indeed the bondages and they are created due to Karma. The issue being that the bondages themselves can lead one to recreate the same karma again and again, just as one desire leads to a thousand more. You wrote: ParamAtma is a collective of all the atmas. Concept of Chara karakas is only indicative of the separate identity (Ahamkara) of soul in the realm of relationships - led by the AK as a king leads a kingdom. So AK has the job of understanding the realm of relationships with other atmas and thereby help the attainment of individuals' understanding of ParamAtma. Yes, once Sun atmakaraka's understand this within themselves, they should teach it to others. Looking forward to your reply. Yours sincerely, -- Visti Larsen - SJC Guru Jaimini SJC - Denmark email: visti For consultations, free mp3's and articles visit: http://srigaruda.com yeeahoo_99 wrote: || Om TAT SAT || Dear Visti, Thanks for a good mail. > Surely Surya is not Ahamkara, thats like saying that Rahu is Durga. How are you so sure about it? The question still remains unanswered i.e. how do you prove that Surya represents Ahamkara? > The graha which 'represents' the bondage of ahamkara is Surya. This brings up another question: i.e. if there is a bondage of Ahamkara at all? Ahamkar is referred in Gita chapter 3, verse 27 as follows: "All activities are being enacted by the senses of the (Prakriti) material nature without exception; but the unrealized, deluded by (AhamKara) false identification of being the body, thus thinks: "I am the doer" > Ahamkara (surya), Manas (chandra), Prakriti (rahu), Akasha(guru), > Agni(mangala), Jala (shukra), Vayu (shani) and Prithvi (budha) So lets begin with Eightfold-Prakriti of Krishna, your reference point itself is incorrect. Gita Chapter 7 sloka 4 states: "Earth, water, fire, air, ether, Manah, Buddhi, and Ahamkara; thus these are the eightfold divisions of my Prakriti." Neither the five tattwas, Buddhi nor Manah can be assigned to Rahu and thus Ahamkara is the only thing that can logically be assigned to Rahu. So the correct version of eightfold representation of Prakriti is: Buddhi (surya), Manah (chandra), Ahamkara (rahu), Akasha(guru), Agni(mangala), Jala (shukra), Vayu (shani) and Prithvi (budha) > Now, to overcome these eight bondages, there are EIGHT ways to look > at God through which we can be freed. For the Ahamkara we must > look at God as Paramatman. There is ONLY ONE bondage and not Eight of them. Ahamkara doesn't cause bondage of atma as you have written, but Karma alone causes bondage of atma, and is not a part of eightfold-prakriti referred above. Refer Gita Chapter 2 verse 39 as follows: "O Arjuna! What has been declared to you this spiritual intelligence (Buddhih) according to the Samkhya (the path of knowledge). Now listen to the teaching of Yoga (the path of selfless action combined with devotion) by practising which the bondage of Karma is overcome." Also, Chapter 3 verse 9 verifies that Karma causes bondage: "O son of Kunti! In this world all actions, unless they are done as an offering to God (or as Yajna), become causes of bondage. Therefore, work for the sake of God without personal attachments." Chapter 3 verse 31 cross-verfies it as follows: "Whoever follow this teaching of mine, with their minds full of faith and free from disparagement, they also are released from the bondage of reactions from Actions (Karma)." That liberation is attained by knowing the correct way of acting is given in Chapter 4 verse 16: "What is (karma) action and what is (akarma) 'non-action', is a subject regarding which even the wise are perplexed. I shall therefore speak to you about (Karma)work, by knowing which one is liberated from evil (or the life of bondage in Samsara)" The reason for liberation is written as Chapter 5 verse 3: "It should be known, O mighty-armed one! That one who neither disdains nor desires fruits of actions, should be known as one established in renunciation. Certainly, that person being free from all dualities is easily liberated from bondage." > For the Ahamkara we must look at God as Paramatman. This is the > remedy itself. And the specific form of Shiva > who will help us realize this is Ishana for the Sun. Please understand that Ahamkara is not a disease that we look for remedies to it. It is the eightfold prakriti of Krishna. Otherwise, mind, buddhi, and pancha-tattwas will also need to be remedied. > And among those born with Surya as atmakaraka we have grades of > those being fully engrossed in ahamkara vs. having complete control > of ahamkara. I am not sure what you mean by complete control of Ahamkara, because one who has complete control of his manas and has buddhi devoted to Krishna - realizes his divine nature of "AhamBrahmaAsmi" and gets freed from the bondage of Karma. > Divine souls like Vivekananda, Ramakrishna > Paramahamsa and Sri Krishna being at one end of the scale. With > fellows like Donald Trump, Adolph Hitler (exalted surya yuti AK) >and others at the other end of the scale. Liberation is caused by the development of divine/demoniac nature, Chapter 16 Verse 5: "The divine nature is considered the cause of liberation and the demoniac nature the cause of bondage. Grieve not, O son of Pandu! You are born of the divine nature." > So please don't make the equation that everyone with Surya > atmakaraka is Paramatman. That would be quite delusional indeed... Even as paramatman is Omnipresent, it is not possible to say that any mortal being is apart from paramatman, whether it be Surya AK in a specific context. In any case, no such equation about Atmakaraka and Paramatma has been made by me. The only question asked is about how "Surya" represents Ahamkara, devoid of any Chara Karaka Status whatsoever. You should have read my mail more thoroughly to have not missed the point that was being made. ParamAtma is a collective of all the atmas. Concept of Chara karakas is only indicative of the separate identity (Ahamkara) of soul in the realm of relationships - led by the AK as a king leads a kingdom. So AK has the job of understanding the realm of relationships with other atmas and thereby help the attainment of individuals' understanding of ParamAtma. Finally, about the points you made: As proved earlier, Surya as representing Buddhi of the eight-fold Prakriti of Krishna - is referred to as ParamAtma in a chart by Jyotish Texts, whatever be the Chara AtmaKaraka. That Buddhi/ intelligence in creatures is Krishna is verified by Gita Chapter 10, sloka 22: "Of the Vedas, I am the Sama Veda; among the Devas, I am Indra; of the senses, I am the mind; and in living beings, I am intelligence." > See, the devatas reside in svarga loka and this corresponds to the > nakshatras. Jyotish tells that constellations are overlorded by luminary Moon and Moon derives its luminosity from Sun. Therefore, as a consequence the concept of devatas associated with the swarga of constellations is derived from the luminosity of the radiant Sun and any spiritual blessings obtained by worshipping devatas of Swarga loka are easily obtained by worshipping Sun as Paramatma. > Using that equation we could say that Aditya, Shiva and Agni are > all Surya... Taking a line from your mail we are actually saying > that Vishnu being an aditya is Surya? Yes. Surya as ParamAtma is only ONE and manifests as multitude of Aditya, Shiva and Agni, depending upon the concept you see him aligned with, i.e. signs, or nakshatra or any other divisions respectively. > Obviously both of us know better than that. Now we do. regards, nitish sohamsa , Visti Larsen <visti wrote: > > ??? ??? ?????? > > Dear Nitish, Namaskar > Thank you for your reply. > Surely Surya is not Ahamkara, thats like saying that Rahu is Durga. > Using that equation we could say that Aditya, Shiva and Agni are all > Surya...

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2007 Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 ||Namah Shivaya|| Dear Nitish, Thanks for your nice explanations viz The Gita. Gita teaches us that Paramatma inside us can be reached by controlling the mind. A mind which is perfectly tranquil and balanced bereft of 'karma' has already connnected with the paramatma. Now, how we go about doing this, depends on individuals and how the grahas are driving their energies. The Q is how at atmakarak level we best connect with Paramatma. Each AK will show a slightly different path on which the native will pursue these drives. Do we know how each AK is best able to achieve this path, if it can be answered this way? Best wishes Sharat >>Yes. Surya as ParamAtma is only ONE and manifests as multitude of Aditya, Shiva and Agni, depending upon the concept you see him aligned with, i.e. signs, or nakshatra or any other divisions respectively.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 हरे राम कृष्ण॥ Dear Nitish, Namaskar Thank you for your mail. You mention a Parampara below. Please provide the name of the Parampara and its commentary for our benefit so we can read more. In answering your points, i will be using the Gita's commentary by Adi Shankara - translated by Svami Gambhirananda. 1.) About Buddhi: Chapter 2 sloka 52, 53 --> "When Buddhi penetrates beyond darkness of delusion, then you shall be indifferent about the matters heard and to-be-heard. .." "..Buddhi becoming securely anchored in soul bliss, one attains yoga." Chapter 2 sloka 62,63 --> DECAY OF BUDDHI causes ANNIHILATION of spiritual life. Visti: I don't have this translation. Is this an inference? The last two words used here are: buddhinaashaat-praNashyati = destruction of buddhi causes one to be lost/dissapear/vanish/perish. Did you infer that it was spirituality which perished? To this Adi Shankara comments: Indeed, a man continues to be himself so long as his mind remains fit to distinguish between what he ought to and ought not to do. NOTE:- Jyotish tells us that Sprituality is related to Sun more than Rahu, as seen in those with AK in kendra to Sun. Visti: All eight of the bandhanas once tightened cause loss of spirituality, not just Buddhi. If a student has so much ahamkara that he believes he knows everything, then he will not read books and again spirituality is destroyed. If a one is fully engrossed in his/her desire for procreation then again the spirituality is ruined. The latter is explained in Chapter 2, sloka 60. So all eight bandhas cause this problem, and not just Buddhi. Chapter 2 sloka 65 --> Buddhi of the blissful man soon becomes firmly established (in the self). Chapter 5 sloka 20 --> "The Knower of spirit, abiding in Supreme being, with STHIRA BUDDHI, free from delusion, is thus neither jubiliant at pleasant experiences nor downcast by unpleasant experiences. " Visti: You are very right to give Buddhi such a high pedestal among the eight bandhas, because indeed the worst Bandha is that of Buddhi just as Rahu is the main karaka for all Bandhana of the soul. Overcoming this, all the other bandhas break easily. This is the reason Rahu is the main cause of rebirth. This is why the Shiva purana (Satirudrasamhita) states that the Shiva form who is able to control the bondage of Rahu is Pashupati. Shiva then explains that Pashupati is responsible for breaking all wordly bondages (pashupAshanikR^intanaM). According to Shiva, Ishana is the form of Shiva which controls Surya. More below. 2.) About AHAMKARA: Chapter 2 sloka 71 --> "That person realizes peace who, relinquishing all desires, exists without craving and is UNIDENTIFIED WITH AHAMKARA (mortal ego) and its sense of mine-ness." Visti: Adi Shankara comments that this actually refers to one becoming one with Brahman i.e. enlightenment. Among the forms of Shiva which specifically give this enlightenment (sandIpayajjagatsarvam - enlightens the entire universe), we see that the form of Ishana is talked about. Note that the word used is SandIpa, and this happens to be the Guru of Sri Krishna (SandIpani). However, this sloka from the Gita is not strictly for ahamkara, but for all the eight bandhas. 3.) About MANAS JOINED WITH BUDDHI: Chapter 2 sloka 51: "Those whose minds are joined to wisdom (BUDDHI-YUKTA) , having abandoned action's fruit, Freed thus from bondage to rebirth, they attain the state beyond sorrow." Also refer Chapter 13 slokas 1 - 11: "...Indifference to sense objects, And absence of egotism (NIRHAMKARA) ;...Constant evenmindedness in Desired and undesired events...With single-minded yoga,...Constant in knowledge of the Self, Seeing the goal of truth-knowledge– This is said to be true knowledge. The contrary is ignorance." Chapter 8 sloka 9 refers "He who meditates on the Seer, the Ruler, The ancient, subtler than the atom, support Of all, Whose form is inconceivable and RADIANT LIKE THE SUN and beyond darkness." This proves beyond doubt and questioning the central role of BUDDHI in the spiritual growth of a devotee like ARJUNA. Now, this role is not played by AHAMKARA or MANAS independently. Thus, Sun as dispeller of darkness is the only correct assignment of the role of Buddhi. Visti: Your inference implies that only one of the eight bandhas deal with spiritual growth or its lacking. One could just as easily justify that since the main cause of rebirth is Rahu, the stronger the bondage of Rahu, so also the stronger the bondage of Buddhi and thus the eclipse of the Sun/spirituality. Thus for this reason we worship Sri Dakshinamurti on the day of the eclipse to be released from this Bandhana and get enighenment. This is what the Sadhu's practice. Note the word Buddhi is used in three different ways in the gita according to Adi Shankara and Gambhiranandas translation, viz. i) buddhi as a bandha, ii) samatva buddhi (pure buddhi) and iii) buddhi as enlightenment, and cannot be mixed arbitrarily. Getting back to the eightfold Prakriti, Sun (Buddhi), Moon (MANAS) and Rahu (Ahamkara) is the only correct version as per the GURU-SHISYA PARAMPARA from Sri Krishna-Arjuna The reason why in Jyotish most associate the Sun with Ahamkara in general terms, is because of the story of Vivasvan and Sanjna (memory/recollection). In the story Vivasvans rays become so bright, and he became so knowledgeable (and self absorbed) that Sanjna left and only left her shadow (false recollection) behind. He only could reunite with Sanjna once his father in-law reduced the rays of Vivasvan, and he could himself take on a form that Sanjna was pleased with. So the story of Vivasvan/Surya tells us about this nature of Ahamkara. Looking forward to your reply.

Chapter 5 sloka 20 --> "The Knower of spirit, abiding in Supreme being, with STHIRA BUDDHI, free from delusion, is thus neither jubiliant at pleasant experiences nor downcast by unpleasant experiences." 2.) About AHAMKARA: Chapter 2 sloka 71 --> "That person realizes peace who, relinquishing all desires, exists without craving and is UNIDENTIFIED WITH AHAMKARA (mortal ego) and its sense of mine-ness." 3.) About MANAS JOINED WITH BUDDHI: Chapter 2 sloka 51: "Those whose minds are joined to wisdom (BUDDHI-YUKTA), having abandoned action's fruit, Freed thus from bondage to rebirth, they attain the state beyond sorrow." Also refer Chapter 13 slokas 1 - 11: "...Indifference to sense objects, And absence of egotism (NIRHAMKARA);...Constant evenmindedness in Desired and undesired events...With single-minded yoga,...Constant in knowledge of the Self, Seeing the goal of truth-knowledge– This is said to be true knowledge. The contrary is ignorance." Chapter 8 sloka 9 refers "He who meditates on the Seer, the Ruler, The ancient, subtler than the atom, support Of all, Whose form is inconceivable and RADIANT LIKE THE SUN and beyond darkness." This proves beyond doubt and questioning the central role of BUDDHI in the spiritual growth of a devotee like ARJUNA. Now, this role is not played by AHAMKARA or MANAS independently. Thus, Sun as dispeller of darkness is the only correct assignment of the role of Buddhi. Getting back to the eightfold Prakriti, Sun (Buddhi), Moon (MANAS) and Rahu (Ahamkara) is the only correct version as per the GURU-SHISYA PARAMPARA from Sri Krishna-Arjuna regards, Nitish sohamsa , Visti Larsen <visti wrote: > > ??? ??? ?????? > > Dear Nitish, Namaskar > Thank you for this mail. > I will be answering the main points of your mail.

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 हरे राम कृष्ण॥ Dear Nitish, Namaskar Why are desires seen from seventh from Sun? Why not seventh from Atmakaraka?

Guest guest Posted September 4, 2007 Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 ||Namah Shivaya|| Dear Nitish, Thanks for your response. As Visti points out 7th from AK shows desire of the atma, however it works in my case as both are the same. 7th from Sun (ak) sign is Leo itself ( 13/03/1957;20:59:08;Kanpur,India). Sun shows me Shiva's path or is it Vishnu...as Me is there as well. What do you see? Ramana Rsihi's chart shows eclipse of the Sun in the 3/9 axis...and 7 th from it is Mo-AK, lorded by Me in yui with lagnesh Ve, in 12 th from Sun.Can you please elabortae on this.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 हरे राम कृष्ण॥ Dear Nitish, Namaskar Have you attained shat-chakra bhedan through meditation?

Sun shows me Shiva's path or is > it Vishnu...as Me is there as well. What do you see? Please don't worry about the source of this principle as truth is sourced only in Krishna consciousness. You should read Gita more and more thoroughly, chapter 3,9,15, to understand the source and the derivation of this principle (Lahiri Mahashaya Gita, Sri Yukteswar Gita, and Yogananda Gita versions will help you understand the most crucial 9th chapter). In any case, you will understand this principle only after you have achieved shat-chakra bhedan through yoga meditation. You may look at the example charts of Ramanna Maharishi and Sri Ram, you would find this principle at work in these two charts, with the 7th lord from Sun going to 12th from Sun. Purest spirituality is achieved when one realizes His Form-less omnipresent being - Krishna consciousness - and remains there always! AtmaKaraka has most important role, in the field of Form and relationships - the Form and relationship with ishta devata. Form inevitably binds jeevatma with Prakriti (material expression of Krishna consciousness). Gradually, through AK-Ishta relationship one learns to walk on the spiritual path till he realizes his eternal relationship with Purushottama! Thus, to attain the supreme state of ParaMukta (supreme control over death), one has to get free from the Form and reach out to relate with the Formless.

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Dear Nitish, You said, "In any case, you will understand this principle only after you have achieved shat-chakra bhedan through yoga meditation." Please enligthen me on why only those who have attained shat-chakra bhedan can fully understand this principle? Why not others who are at similar level without going through shat-chakra bhedan? Maybe crown chakra of these souls is already open based on souls' progress in their last lives, and they don't need to specifically attain this in this life (by saying this I don't mean that they don't need to do bhakti, meditation anymore)? Maybe there are souls who are following some other path, which is as divine as the one you mentioned, and they understand these truths without even learning astrology. I'm NOT trying to digress--just in case it sounds like digression. I'm simply trying to understand why only one path can show you the truth, why not other? Have I misunderstood your point?

Guest guest Posted September 5, 2007 Report Share Posted September 5, 2007 Satyam Bruyat Priyam Bruyat Dear Visti, Namaskar Can you share Donald Trump's birth details if you have please? thanks Ramesh visti Sent by: sohamsa 08/31/2007 08:45 AM Please respond to sohamsa To sohamsa cc Subject Re: Re: Jupiter as AK (to Visti, Tijanaji, Nitish and v_reality) हरे राम कृष्ण॥ Dear Nitish, Namaskar Thank you for your reply. Surely Surya is not Ahamkara, thats like saying that Rahu is Durga. Using that equation we could say that Aditya, Shiva and Agni are all Surya... Taking a line from your mail we are actually saying that Vishnu being an aditya is Surya? Obviously both of us know better than that. See, the devatas reside in svarga loka and this corresponds to the nakshatras. The grahas through their transit of the nakshatras are actually eclipsing them and thus certain forms of devatas come as indicating by 1) the graha eclipsing. 2) the nakshatra it eclipses. Since nakshatras are the basis of the rasi chart, we can find based on the state of a graha the actual devata represented by it. But its only a representation as the Grahas themselves are not devatas. The graha which 'represents' the bondage of ahamkara is Surya, just as the graha representing the bondage of the mind is Moon. And among those born with Surya as atmakaraka we have grades of those being fully engrossed in ahamkara vs. having complete control of ahamkara. Divine souls like Vivekananda, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa and Sri Krishna being at one end of the scale. With fellows like Donald Trump, Adolph Hitler (exalted surya yuti AK) and others at the other end of the scale. Now, to overcome these eight bondages, there are EIGHT ways to look at God through which we can be freed. For the Ahamkara we must look at God as Paramatman. This is the remedy itself. And the specific form of Shiva who will help us realize this is Ishana for the Sun. So please don't make the equation that everyone with Surya atmakaraka is Paramatman. That would be quite delusional indeed... Infact the concept of Paramatma is the means to which the Surya atmakaraka will be freed of his/her ahamkara. Looking forward to your reply.

Either you mean to say that Lord Krishna represents Ahamkara going by Gita Chapter 10 verse 21: " Of the tweleve adityas I am vishnu, of all luminaries the radiant Sun , of the seven Maruts I am marichi, and of the constellations I am the Moon. " Are you saying that Sura/Surya group of planets are lead by Surya as Ahamkara? Are you saying that the Vedas adoring Surya Narayan as a witness of all actions (Sakshi) is an individuality creating Ahamkara Principle and not an impersonal transcendental intelligence principle? Please explain why Surya as Ahamkara should be referred to as Paramatma, the soul of all and `Jagadaikha chakshusay', the eye of the three worlds? regards, nitish sohamsa , Visti Larsen <visti wrote: > > ??? ??? ?????? > > Dear List, Namaskar > Why hasn't anyone started talking about the eight bondages of the atma? > Ahamkara (surya), Manas (chandra), Prakriti (rahu), Akasha (guru), Agni > (mangala), Jala (shukra), Vayu (shani) and Prithvi (budha). > > And how these eight bondages map into the eight spokes of the kala > chakra, which are simultaneously the eight spokes of the anahata chakra. > > Really any talk on the atma and its EIGHT karakas is futile without any > of this. > > Yours sincerely, > > -- > Visti Larsen - SJC Guru > Jaimini SJC - Denmark > email: visti <visti > For consultations, free mp3's and articles visit: http://srigaruda.com > <http://srigaruda.com> > > Promila Chitkara wrote: > > Hello Sharat, > > > > Do you not think that " serving others " comes naturally only to a > > handful people?

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2007 Report Share Posted September 8, 2007 हरे राम कृष्ण॥ Dear Nitish, Namaskar Thank you for your reply. You wrote: Gita is the commentary of Parampara of Sri Krishna - Arjuna, which includes everybody that practices the sohamsa mantra yajna. Thus, you can benefit by reading it as it is the only living parampara till date. Visti: Why does it include those who practice the sohamsa-mantra yajna? The Gita revived the Parampara's through Adi Shankara, as he was the one who brought it to the world, and it is one of his bhasyas. But the Gita itself is not a parampara, but the cause of all the other paramparas to exist. Each Shankaracharya Mutt is a Parampara in itself and continues to preach the vedas. Your statement denounces the importance of these Mutts. Are you practicing the Sohamsa mantra-yajna through Sri Sri Ravi Shankar? He was taught by Maharishi Mahesh Yogi and its well known that the origin of Maharishi is the Jyotirmutt, thus making your Parampara the same. You wrote: A person who isn't fit to distinguish between what he ought or ought not to do; do you think he is fit to practice spirituality? Sri Krishna is not really telling arjuna to practice materiality anyways. If you don't understand the role of buddhi from this sloka, Gita is full of slokas that talk about buddhi as a spiritual faculty (Sun), unlike Ahamkara (Rahu). Visti: How can I know what Krishna meant? Thats why i cited Adi Shankaras commentary, and now you are giving your own commentary. Should i believe in your commentary or that of Adi Shankara? You are equating Buddhi with a spiritual faculty, and this is your basis for equating Buddhi with the Sun. Your intent is clear in this. Then why didn't you equate Buddhi with Jupiter or Ketu? Surely Ketu is much more spiritual than Sun. Chapter 3 sloka 1: Arjuna asks: "If Buddhi is greater than karma, Janardana Then why give me the order to be in this intense fight?" Chapter 3 sloka 42: Sri Krishna replies: "In the body the senses are superior >From the senses the mind is greater >From the mind the intellect (buddhi) is superior and Beyond the intellect is the Atman as the witness" Visti: The word used in this sloka is not 'witness' but 'superior'. Also the word 'Atma' is not from the translation, but from Shankaracharyas commentary. The Atma is superior to the intellect, and in this case it refers to Angirasa's definition of Antaratma, and is called 'the self' according to Shankara. Chapter 4 sloka 5 tells that many births of mine and yours have passed. Chapter 6 sloka 43: "Acquiring wisdom (BUDDHI-SAMYOGAM) revived from the previous body thereafter he endeavors once again for perfection." Visti: Again, just because a PURE buddhi enhances ones spiritual efforts, it doesn't mean it is signified by the Sun. > One could just as easily justify that since the main cause of > rebirth is Rahu, the stronger the bondage of Rahu, so also the > stronger the bondage of Buddhi and thus the eclipse > of the Sun/spirituality. Do you still have doubts that Sun refers to Buddhi? Rahu (Ahamkara) and Moon (manas) don't make spiritual efforts. Rahu cannot be considered to be wise, in this context, that its "rebirth-causing-bondage-quality" be used to achieve perfection and liberation in this birth. It is only good at helping a rebirth, not helping to liberate - thus it is not doing the function of Buddhi by 6:43. Visti: I don't think my Jyotish Guru is wrong. Also how do you justify that the bandhana has to be decided based on wisdom of the graha? Since when do Moon and Rahu not make spiritual efforts? Moon in eighth house makes the person meditate and perform kundalini yoga, whilst Rahu in tenth makes the person go on pilgrimages and visit tirthas. The Sun doesn't even meditate, he just has faith and goes to temple. Its Ketu who causes meditation, and its in the junction with Jupiter that he does so through a Guru, and its junction with Venus does so independently. Again, the basis of this statement itself is doubtful, due to which you would have to equate Ketu with Buddhi based on your statements. Based on what you have written how can you classify Buddhi as a Bandhana? Rahu is extremely useful at helping liberation... In fact i can justify how each planet can help liberation, but thats not a fair basis for justifying their Bandhanas. How many of the 6 billion people, all born due to Rahu-bond are using this birth to make a spiritual effort? Visti: How about Ramakrishna Paramahamsa? How about Srila Prabhupada? They are the causes of the largest spiritual missions in India and abroad. I think they made great spiritual effort. They have Rahu as atmakaraka! Sun on the other hand causes problems with ahamkara in the person. Citing Sanjay Rath: "Planets as ätmakäraka: 1. Sun as AK indicates the native has to learn to overcome his ego and should become humble." refer: http://srath.com/lessons/advanced/ak.htm "Ahankära refers to its independent identity and is the false ego (not Freud’s ego). This is false because the identity is not permanent and it is an ego as it helps to identify the object and differentiate it from the other bodies/creatures of its class or family. This is represented by the Sun in astrology." refer: http://www.srath.com/lessons/advanced/ak2.htm Visti: note the careful reference to ego not being equated with Freud's understanding of Ego. Chapter 7 verse 10: "O Arjuna, try to understand me as the eternal origin of all living entities. I am the (BuddhirBuddhiMataA smi) intelligence in the intelligent, and the brilliance of the brilliant." Chapter 10 sloka 10: "One who is always united with Me (see 6:18) and who meditates upon Me with love -- I bestow him with buddhiyoga (meaning stillness) by which, he is the one who attains Me." Chapter 15 sloka 20: (Etad Buddhva Buddhimaan syat KritaKrityascha bharata) "Understand with your intelligence this most secret science that I have explained to you and become wise, and thereupon be successful in all your duties." Chapter 18 sloka 30: " One who knows engagement and withdrawal, work and work not to be done, fear and non-fear, bondage and liberation -- this type of (Buddhi) intellect is sattvic." Rahu cannot be Sattvic! Visti: Does that mean Sun can be tamasic? How about all those who don't have satva budhi? Are you saying they don't have a buddhi because its not satvic? Your justification doesn't hold water. Chapter 18, sloka 57: "Dedicate all action to Me from the (chetasa)heart, extinguish wholly, be devoted to Me, take recourse in buddhi-yoga and keep your consciousness always on Me." 18:30, 10:10 -- there is nothing like Ahamkara Yoga, but Buddhi- Yoga. With Sun as ParamAtma, one would have a yoga with him as Buddhi. Thus, if buddhi is all that important all along from 2nd to 18th chapter, in Gita, lets understand it as a function of Surya with Sattvic Buddhi. Visti: If Satvic Budhi is the Sun, then is Sun also Tamasic/impure Budhi? You are only dealing with the highest aspect of Buddhi in these slokas, and not speaking of Buddhi as a bandhana. Since our entire discussion revolves around Sun, Moon and Rahu which are the causes of the eclipse, i will quote a translation of Dakshinamurti Stotra: rähugrastadiväkarendusadåço mäyäsamäcchädanät sanmätraù karaëopasaàharaëato yo'bhütsuñuptaù pumän | prägasväpsamiti prabodhasamaye yaù pratyabhijïäyate tasmai çrégurumürtaye nama idaà çrédakñiëämürtaye || 6|| The Sun (atma) is eclipsed when the Moon (Mana) conjoins it and the Moon is in the latitude as the orbital plane of the earth where the intersection points are the nodes (Rahu & Ketu). It is this Rahu that is said to cause the eclipse. Simiarly, the Rahu of our lives is our own desires and sice Rahu is a node of the Moon (mana), the desires are the creation of the mind. It is the coming together or conjunction of the atma (Sun), mana (Moon) and desires (Rahu) that causes an eclipse or birth itself. Visti: The key lies in this, namely that Rahu being a node of the Moon is the cause of desires created in the mind, and very much deals with the mind. Further; ATMA means self. There are three types of atma according to Angirasa, namely: Atma, Antaratma and Paramatma. The first is the body itself and its senses. The second is the abode of the individual soul or Jeevatma, and finally the Paramatma is God. So when Parasara and other seers stated that the Sun is the atma, they also refer to the entire gamut of definitions of the self. Ahamkara is a function of 'thinking' one is the self, and is the bondage that caused the Jeevatma to separate from the Paramatma to begin with! This is defined in the cosmology where the ahamkara merged with the various Gunas to cause the bhutas, etc. to manifest. Looking forward to your reply.
