Guest guest Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 sri ganeshaya namah dear narasimha ji, namaste. sorry for the interruption .just wanted to know from where did you get the pam beeja and does it directly represent maharshi parashara? also , the concept of invoking maharshi parashara for a better understanding of hora shastra seems perfect to me , its just that i dont do any homams of now as i dont know how to ... could u suggest a simpler mantra to invoke the maharshi? it is only his blessings that can shows us the true picture... humbly, chandan s sabarwal. sohamsa , Narasimha PVR Rao <pvr wrote: > > Namaste Sanjay and friends, > > In your book " Brihat Nakshatra " , you said regarding Ramakrishna Paramhamsa's chart: > > " In all my years of study and tens of thousands of charts, I have never come across anything as close to this chart which represents a perfect incarnation of Lord Shiva.

A formula based on equating them is mixing up two unequal sets. That is illogical. Moreover, this formula fails in many examples and works in just two (third example is based on questionable data).

The formula that was given to me is this: " The abhisheka nakshatra - the 28th nakshatra - reckoned from chara aatma kaaraka has aspect or vedha in sarvatobhadra chakra (SBC) from a planet that is also associated with (a) the 12th house from chara aatma kaaraka in D-20 chart and (b) 5th or 9th house from lagna in rasi chart. If chara aatma kaaraka is Rahu, counting of the 28th star in SBC as well as counting of the 12th house in D-20 is in anti-zodiacal order. " > > The D-20 is the chart of spiritual progress. The 12th house from AK in it shows the liberation of individual soul as one progresses spiritually. Similarly, SBC is the chakra in the nakshatra space and abhisheka (28th) nakshatra from AK in it shows liberation of soul in the nakshatra space. Planet having an influence on both the factors supports spiritual liberation. The 5th and 9th from lagna show poorvapunya and bhagya. If the same planet influences all the three factors, that planet can suggest liberation. The reverse counting from Rahu is because Rahu goes in reverse. Even when defining argala, Parasara asked to reckon argalas and virodha argalas based on houses from Rahu and Ketu in anti-zodiacal order. > > Thus, we are finding a planetary influence that brings poorvapunya and bhagya (5th and 9th) to this specific existence (lagna) and promotes liberation (12th house/28th star) of individual soul (AK) in the conscious mental plane (SBC) and the plane of spiritual activity (D-20). > > Please note that this formula does not use Vimsottari dasa lordships. It uses nakshatra chakra (SBC) for nakshatras and D-20 for rasis. > > * * * > > When the formula came to me, I tried it on the charts of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Sarada Mata, Swami Vivekananda, Ramana Maharshi, Swami Chandrasekhara Saraswati, Srila Prabhupada, Swami Sivananda. It worked in all the charts. > > Sarada Mata's AK is Moon. He is in Uttara Phalguni. The 28th star from him is Poorva Phalguni. It has vedha only from Mars. In D-20, Moon is in Ta and the 12th lord from him is Mars. In rasi, Mars is the 5th lord. > > Ramakrishna's AK is Rahu. He is in Krittika. The 28th star from him counted anti-zodiacally is Rohini.

Guest guest Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Namaste Rajarshi, (1) Of course not. This is just a conducive factor. It makes sense logically and it seems to work in several charts in which you would expect it to apply. That's all. I have no view on (2) and (3). Obviously, I do not have all answers. * * * > Thanks for your research. Appreciate them a lot. What I shared is the tip of the iceberg, just like the planetary special lagna concepts that I illustrated using Ve7 as an example sometime back. There are so many reference points in charts, so many houses and so many nakshatras. If one applies oneself intelligently and tests using many examples, one can arrive at so many formulas using what I gave as a template. I will illustrate just one more principle. If the 6th house reckoned from AmK in D-10 and the 10th star (karma nakshatra) reckoned from AmK in SBC have an influence of the same planet and that planet is also associated with a trine from GL in rasi chart, one rises to a position of power and influence in one's work. We are basically looking for synergy between (a) the professional (D-10) effort (6th) and (b) mental (SBC) activity (10th star) of the spirit of work in one (AmK) and the blessings (trines) related to power and influence (GL). Nehru's AmK is Rahu. From Ardra containing Rahu, the 10th star counted anti-zodiacally is Satabhishak. In SBC, it has vedha from Mercury and Venus. In D-10, the 6th house from Li containing Rahu counted anti-zodiacally is Ta. Venus owns it. In rasi chart, Venus is the lord of GL and joins the lord of the 5th house from GL. Indira Gandhi's AmK is Venus. From Poorvashadha containing Venus, the 10th star is Aswini. In SBC, it has vedha from Mars and Jupiter. In D-10, the 6th house from Cn containing Venus is Sg. Jupiter owns it. In rasi chart, Jupiter is the 9th lord from GL. Rajiv Gandhi's AmK is Rahu. From Punarvasu containing Rahu, the 10th star counted anti-zodiacally is Poorvabhadra. In SBC, it has vedha from nodes and aspect from Mercury and Mars. In D-10, the 6th house from Pi containing Rahu counted anti-zodiacally is Li. Mars and Mercury aspect it from Ta. In rasi chart, Mervcury is the 9th lord from GL. PV Narasimha Rao's AmK is Venus. From Krittika containing Venus, the 10th star is Uttara Phalguni. In SBC, it has vedha from Mercury and aspect from Moon and Mars. In D-10, the 6th house from Cp containing Venus is Ge owned by Mercury and only Mercury aspects it. In rasi chart, Mercury is the dispositor of the 5th and 9th lords from GL and is with them, aspecting GL. Ronald Reagan's AmK is Sun. From Dhanishtha containing Sun, the 10th star is Mrigasira. In SBC, it has vedha from Mercury and aspect from Mars and Saturn. In D-10, the 6th house from Ar containing Sun is Vi owned and occupied by Mercury and only Mars aspects it from Pi. In rasi chart, Mercury and Mars are in GL and Mars owns the 5th from GL. George W Bush's AmK is Jupiter. From Chitra containing Jupiter, the 10th star is Sravana. In SBC, it has vedha from none but aspected by Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. In D-10, the 6th house from Cp containing Jupiter is Ge owned by Mercury and aspected by Venus from Sg. In rasi chart, Mercury and Venus are in the 9th house from GL. * * * Bottomline: One may be able to unearth many ways to combine nakshatra chakra (SBC), various divisional charts and rasi chart. What factor at the mental level (SBC), what factor at the level of a specific environment in life (i.e. a divisional chart, examples of various environments shown in various divisional charts are - professional in D-10, parental in D-12, educational in D-24, spiritual in D-20, financial in D-2 etc) and what factor at the physical level (rasi chart) need to have a synergy, in order to produce a specific result? * * * Namaste Rajarshi and other young sadhakas-cum-Jyotishis, I want to humbly say a word on " research " . Please ignore my 2 cents if this makes no sense to you. I was quite passionate about Jyotish research several years back and used to spend a lot of time in research. I used to sleep at 3 am and get up at 6 am. I used to spend long hours formulating principles and testing them out on charts, changing JHora sometimes for it. After coming home from work, I used to spend as much time on astrology study and research, as I used to spend on my main profession during the day. After spiritual transformation in recent years, I stopped spending that much time. However, the productivity of my Jyotish research went up. Some ideas that struck to my mind at the end of nice meditation sessions turned out to be good and simply worked in several charts that I tried out later. If you surrender to god and rishis, you will receive whatever knowledge you need for your activities in this life. Have faith in god and rishis and surrender. Also, it is important to approach Jyotish knowledge with the spirit of a brahmana. Brahmana is one who cares about nothing other than knowledge and liberation. Kshatriya is one who cares about power, authority and control over others. Vaisya is one who cares about money. Do not look at your Jyotish knowledge as a means to have some control or authority over people and do not feel proud of your knowledge, like a kshatriya. Also, do not look at your Jyotish knowledge as a means to get money and try to increase your gains, like a vaishya. Be a true braahmana in the prusuit of Jyotish knowledge and surrender to god and rishis. Sky is the limit for you then. Of course, it is also possible then that you lose interest in Jyotish completely or partially and do not receive any or much Jyotish knowledge. But so be it. As I said, you will receive " whatever knowledge *you need* " . You don't know what you really need, but god does! Complete surrender means not asking for any specific thing and accepting whatever comes one's way! * * * Reply to Mail 2 below: I am replying publicly while keeping your anonymity. 2. Yes, a blue light from a Shiva linga entered his mother when she was pregnant with him. She also had darshan of many celestial beings on a regular basis during her pregnancy, which stopped after the delivery. Actually, Vishnu told his father in the dream at Gaya that you refer to, that *he himself* would come as a son. There are different indications, but what Ramakrishna himself declared should be the final word. 4. When I meditate deeply after homam or in general, I sometimes go into a nice spiritual state. Though there was some desire to find some principle based on abhisheka nakshatra *before* meditation started, it completely vanished from my consciousness as meditation deepened and the regular self-awareness vanished too. Then I was in a nice spiritual state where the logical mind and intuitive mind were very very calm without much mental activity. When I was coming back to a state of normal self-awareness from such a state, I just became aware of a thought. It felt like it was someone's thought just flowing in the universe and I happened to be on the same wavelength and was able to observe it. I only said I prayed to Parasara and this formula was given to me. I did not say who gave it to me, because I do not know. But I express my gratitude to Parasara, as I had prayed to him before and then this thought came and moreover this principle is far more logical and far more accurate than anything I was able to synthesize using my rational and intuitive minds before. If one begged the king for money and suddenly found a bag of gold coins thrown into one's backyard by an unseen person, one will only thank the king. Especially if the coins seem to be made of real gold.. 5. I am glad you were thinking along those lines! It shows you have some really good samskaras guiding your instincts. You can ask Agni to carry an oblation of ghee to various deities and rishis, without a separate invocation. For example, if your gotra is Goutama, you can offer an oblation in the fire while saying " om gautamaaya svaahaa. gautamaayedam na mama " . Or, if you want to offer to Jupiter, you can offer an oblation in the fire while saying " om bR^ihaspataye svaahaa. bR^ihaspataya na mama " . You can do this after the main homam and before you start the final offerings to Agni, Vaayu, Surya, Prajapati, Vishnu and Shiva. If you want to specifically invoke, you can use the Ganesha invocation from Krishna homam or Shiva homam manual as the template and follow that procedure. Replace " oM gaM gaNapataye namaH " with " oM paM paraasharaaya namaH " or just " oM paraasharaaya namaH " or the verse for Parasara below.

The 12th house from AK in it shows the liberation of individual soul as one progresses spiritually. Similarly, SBC is the chakra in the nakshatra space and abhisheka (28th) nakshatra from AK in it shows liberation of soul in the nakshatra space. Planet having an influence on both the factors supports spiritual liberation. The 5th and 9th from lagna show poorvapunya and bhagya. If the same planet influences all the three factors, that planet can suggest liberation. The reverse counting from Rahu is because Rahu goes in reverse.

Guest guest Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 PVRji Namaste, Your mail , reply, clarifications and the write-ups has been quite an enlightening experience for student of astrology like me. Explaining clearly the traits of Brahmana , Kshatriya & Vaisya at the context of learning & sharing of knowledge was very nicely said. Knowledge is Power but sharing it gives enlightment. Your mail has prompted me to delve into the homan section in you website and shortly I will start with the homan with the various templates you have cited in your site. PVRji, would you kindly advise us which homan to start with and what are the benefits one can get from the various homan's stated in your site. (Thanks for your time and advises). My humble prayers to our Creator to bless with you with all the knowledge so that you can share it with us for the development of our studies and for students like me. With Respects, Devbrato Sarkar "Wealth is not just about making the money BUT making the MAN while he is making money".--- On Tue, 9/8/09, Narasimha PVR Rao <pvr wrote: Narasimha PVR Rao <pvr Re: Ramakrishna, Shiva and Abhisheka Nakshatrasjc-guru , , sohamsa, sjcBoston , vedic astrology Date: Tuesday, September 8, 2009, 11:37 PM Namaste Rajarshi,(1) Of course not. This is just a conducive factor. It makes sense logically and it seems to work in several charts in which you would expect it to apply. That's all.I have no view on (2) and (3). Obviously, I do not have all answers.* * *> Thanks for your research. Appreciate them a lot.What I shared is the tip of the iceberg, just like the planetary special lagna concepts that I illustrated using Ve7 as an example sometime back.There are so many reference points in charts, so many houses and so many nakshatras. If one applies oneself intelligently and tests using many examples, one can arrive at so many formulas using what I gave as a template.I will illustrate just one more principle. If the 6th house reckoned from AmK in D-10 and the 10th star (karma nakshatra) reckoned from AmK in SBC have an influence of the same planet and that planet is also associated with a trine from GL in rasi chart, one rises to a position of power and influence in one's work. We are basically looking for synergy between (a) the professional (D-10) effort (6th) and (b) mental (SBC) activity (10th star) of the spirit of work in one (AmK) and the blessings (trines) related to power and influence (GL).Nehru's AmK is Rahu. From Ardra containing Rahu, the 10th star counted anti-zodiacally is Satabhishak. In SBC, it has vedha from Mercury and Venus. In D-10, the 6th house from Li containing Rahu counted anti-zodiacally is Ta. Venus owns it. In rasi chart, Venus is the lord of GL and joins the lord of the 5th house from GL.Indira Gandhi's AmK is Venus. From Poorvashadha containing Venus, the 10th star is Aswini. In SBC, it has vedha from Mars and Jupiter. In D-10, the 6th house from Cn containing Venus is Sg. Jupiter owns it. In rasi chart, Jupiter is the 9th lord from GL.Rajiv Gandhi's AmK is Rahu. From Punarvasu containing Rahu, the 10th star counted anti-zodiacally is Poorvabhadra. In SBC, it has vedha from nodes and aspect from Mercury and Mars. In D-10, the 6th house from Pi containing Rahu counted anti-zodiacally is Li. Mars and Mercury aspect it from Ta. In rasi chart, Mervcury is the 9th lord from GL.PV Narasimha Rao's AmK is Venus. From Krittika containing Venus, the 10th star is Uttara Phalguni. In SBC, it has vedha from Mercury and aspect from Moon and Mars. In D-10, the 6th house from Cp containing Venus is Ge owned by Mercury and only Mercury aspects it. In rasi chart, Mercury is the dispositor of the 5th and 9th lords from GL and is with them, aspecting GL.Ronald Reagan's AmK is Sun. From Dhanishtha containing Sun, the 10th star is Mrigasira. In SBC, it has vedha from Mercury and aspect from Mars and Saturn. In D-10, the 6th house from Ar containing Sun is Vi owned and occupied by Mercury and only Mars aspects it from Pi. In rasi chart, Mercury and Mars are in GL and Mars owns the 5th from GL.George W Bush's AmK is Jupiter. From Chitra containing Jupiter, the 10th star is Sravana. In SBC, it has vedha from none but aspected by Mercury, Jupiter and Venus. In D-10, the 6th house from Cp containing Jupiter is Ge owned by Mercury and aspected by Venus from Sg. In rasi chart, Mercury and Venus are in the 9th house from GL.* * *Bottomline:One may be able to unearth many ways to combine nakshatra chakra (SBC), various divisional charts and rasi chart. What factor at the mental level (SBC), what factor at the level of a specific environment in life (i.e. a divisional chart, examples of various environments shown in various divisional charts are - professional in D-10, parental in D-12, educational in D-24, spiritual in D-20, financial in D-2 etc) and what factor at the physical level (rasi chart) need to have a synergy, in order to produce a specific result?* * *Namaste Rajarshi and other young sadhakas-cum- Jyotishis,I want to humbly say a word on "research". Please ignore my 2 cents if this makes no sense to you.I was quite passionate about Jyotish research several years back and used to spend a lot of time in research. I used to sleep at 3 am and get up at 6 am. I used to spend long hours formulating principles and testing them out on charts, changing JHora sometimes for it. After coming home from work, I used to spend as much time on astrology study and research, as I used to spend on my main profession during the day.After spiritual transformation in recent years, I stopped spending that much time. However, the productivity of my Jyotish research went up. Some ideas that struck to my mind at the end of nice meditation sessions turned out to be good and simply worked in several charts that I tried out later.If you surrender to god and rishis, you will receive whatever knowledge you need for your activities in this life. Have faith in god and rishis and surrender. Also, it is important to approach Jyotish knowledge with the spirit of a brahmana. Brahmana is one who cares about nothing other than knowledge and liberation. Kshatriya is one who cares about power, authority and control over others. Vaisya is one who cares about money. Do not look at your Jyotish knowledge as a means to have some control or authority over people and do not feel proud of your knowledge, like a kshatriya. Also, do not look at your Jyotish knowledge as a means to get money and try to increase your gains, like a vaishya. Be a true braahmana in the prusuit of Jyotish knowledge and surrender to god and rishis. Sky is the limit for you then.Of course, it is also possible then that you lose interest in Jyotish completely or partially and do not receive any or much Jyotish knowledge. But so be it. As I said, you will receive "whatever knowledge *you need*". You don't know what you really need, but god does! Complete surrender means not asking for any specific thing and accepting whatever comes one's way!* * *Reply to Mail 2 below:I am replying publicly while keeping your anonymity.2. Yes, a blue light from a Shiva linga entered his mother when she was pregnant with him. She also had darshan of many celestial beings on a regular basis during her pregnancy, which stopped after the delivery.Actually, Vishnu told his father in the dream at Gaya that you refer to, that *he himself* would come as a son.There are different indications, but what Ramakrishna himself declared should be the final word.4. When I meditate deeply after homam or in general, I sometimes go into a nice spiritual state. Though there was some desire to find some principle based on abhisheka nakshatra *before* meditation started, it completely vanished from my consciousness as meditation deepened and the regular self-awareness vanished too. Then I was in a nice spiritual state where the logical mind and intuitive mind were very very calm without much mental activity. When I was coming back to a state of normal self-awareness from such a state, I just became aware of a thought. It felt like it was someone's thought just flowing in the universe and I happened to be on the same wavelength and was able to observe it.I only said I prayed to Parasara and this formula was given to me. I did not say who gave it to me, because I do not know. But I express my gratitude to Parasara, as I had prayed to him before and then this thought came and moreover this principle is far more logical and far more accurate than anything I was able to synthesize using my rational and intuitive minds before. If one begged the king for money and suddenly found a bag of gold coins thrown into one's backyard by an unseen person, one will only thank the king. Especially if the coins seem to be made of real gold..5. I am glad you were thinking along those lines! It shows you have some really good samskaras guiding your instincts. You can ask Agni to carry an oblation of ghee to various deities and rishis, without a separate invocation. For example, if your gotra is Goutama, you can offer an oblation in the fire while saying "om gautamaaya svaahaa. gautamaayedam na mama". Or, if you want to offer to Jupiter, you can offer an oblation in the fire while saying "om bR^ihaspataye svaahaa. bR^ihaspataya na mama". You can do this after the main homam and before you start the final offerings to Agni, Vaayu, Surya, Prajapati, Vishnu and Shiva.If you want to specifically invoke, you can use the Ganesha invocation from Krishna homam or Shiva homam manual as the template and follow that procedure. Replace "oM gaM gaNapataye namaH" with "oM paM paraasharaaya namaH" or just "oM paraasharaaya namaH" or the verse for Parasara below. Irresepctive of the exact procedure you used, the keys to success are (a) the strength of belief that Parasara is there in fire and (b) respect and surrender for him. Use whatever procedure maximizes those aspects in you.Best regards,Narasimha------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -Do a Short Homam Yourself: http://www.VedicAst rologer..org/ homamDo Pitri Tarpanas Yourself: http://www.VedicAst rologer.org/ tarpanaSpirituality: http://groups. / group/vedic- wisdomFree Jyotish lessons (MP3): http://vedicastro. home.comcast. netFree Jyotish software (Windows): http://www.VedicAst rologer.orgSri Jagannath Centre (SJC) website: http://www.SriJagan nath.org------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- -sohamsa@ .com, rajarshi nandy <rajarshi14@ ...> wrote:> > Namaste Narasimha, > > Very good work.> > I was trying this in some charts and most of them gave very accurate results.> > I have a few queries:> > 1) If both condition (a) and condition (b) get fulfilled, can we safely conclude that this person will attain to the highest spiritual experience of Moksha?> > 2) If only one condition is fulfilled, say the Vedha graha aspects the 12th from Ak in D20, but is not connected to 5th and/or 9th in rasi, or vice versa, can we conclude that the person is spiritual but may not reach the highest realization?> > 3) In case of no Vedha graha, does it indicate that this person cannot attain moksha in that life time?> > Thanks for your research.

The formula that was given to me is this: "The abhisheka nakshatra - the 28th nakshatra - reckoned from chara aatma kaaraka has aspect or vedha in sarvatobhadra chakra (SBC) from a planet that is also associated with (a) the 12th house from chara aatma kaaraka in D-20 chart and (b) 5th or 9th house from lagna in rasi chart. If chara aatma kaaraka is Rahu, counting of the 28th star in SBC as well as counting of the 12th house in D-20 is in anti-zodiacal order."> > The D-20 is the chart of spiritual progress. The 12th house from AK in it shows the liberation of individual soul as one progresses spiritually. Similarly, SBC is the chakra in the nakshatra space and abhisheka (28th) nakshatra from AK in it shows liberation of soul in the nakshatra space. Planet having an influence on both the factors supports spiritual liberation. The 5th and 9th from lagna show poorvapunya and bhagya. If the same planet influences all the three factors, that planet can suggest liberation. The reverse counting from Rahu is because Rahu goes in reverse. Even when defining argala, Parasara asked to reckon argalas and virodha argalas based on houses from Rahu and Ketu in anti-zodiacal order.> > Thus, we are finding a planetary influence that brings poorvapunya and bhagya (5th and 9th) to this specific existence (lagna) and promotes liberation (12th house/28th star) of individual soul (AK) in the conscious mental plane (SBC) and the plane of spiritual activity (D-20).> > Please note that this formula does not use Vimsottari dasa lordships. It uses nakshatra chakra (SBC) for nakshatras and D-20 for rasis.> > * * *> > When the formula came to me, I tried it on the charts of Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Sarada Mata, Swami Vivekananda, Ramana Maharshi, Swami Chandrasekhara Saraswati, Srila Prabhupada, Swami Sivananda. It worked in all the charts.> > Sarada Mata's AK is Moon. He is in Uttara Phalguni. The 28th star from him is Poorva Phalguni. It has vedha only from Mars. In D-20, Moon is in Ta and the 12th lord from him is Mars. In rasi, Mars is the 5th lord.> > Ramakrishna' s AK is Rahu. He is in Krittika. The 28th star from him counted anti-zodiacally is Rohini. It has vedha in SBC only from Saturn. In D-20, Rahu is in Cp and the 12th house counted anti-zodiacally is Aq. Saturn owns it. In rasi, Saturn occupies the 9th house.> > Vivekananda' s AK is Sun. He is in Uttarashadha.. The 28t star from him is Poorvashadha. It has vedha in SBC only from Moon and Saturn. In D-20, Sun is in Pi and Saturn is the 12th lord from him. In rasi, Saturn occupies the 9th house.> > Ramana Maharashi's AK is Moon. He is in Punarvasu. The 28th star from him is Ardra. It has vedha from Sun and Rahu and aspect from Jupiter in SBC. In D-20, Moon is in Aq and Jupiter and Rahu aspect Cp. In rasi, Jupiter occupies the 5th house.> > Swami Chandrasekhara Saraswati's AK is Saturn. He is in Chitra. The 28th star from him is Hasta. It has vedha from Rahu and Ketu and aspect from Jupiter in SBC. In D-20, Saturn is in Cp and Jupiter owns the 12th while Rahu and Ketu aspect it. In rasi, Jupiter owns 5th and occupies 9th.> > Srila Prabhupada's AK is Rahu. He is in Dhanishtha. The 28th star from him is Satabhishak. It has no vedha in SBC, but Sun aspects it. In D-20, Rahu is in Sg. The 12th from him reckoned anti-zodiacally is Cp and Sun aspects it. In rasi, Sun is the 9th lord.> > Swami Sivananda's AK is Sun. He is in Poorva Phalguni. The 28th star from him is Magha. It has vedha from Moon and Rahu in SBC and Saturn aspects it. In D-20, Sun is in Pi. The 12th from him is Aq. Saturn and Rahu own it and Moon aspects it.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 oá¹ gurave namaḥ Here is one example. Sarada Mata - born in cancer lagna with the lagneÅ›a Moon, compassionate and caring, as the chara ÄtmakÄraka in Uttara PhÄlguṇī naká¹£atra. The abhiÅ›eka tÄrÄ is PÅ«rva PhÄlguṇī which is ruled by Venus the natural significator of spouse which is placed in the 7th house of marriage. Therefore the one who deserves the abhiÅ›eka is her spouse ÅšrÄ« Ramakrshna Paramhaá¹sa. Venus is in Capricorn and ÄtmakÄraka Moon is in the sammukha rÄÅ›i Leo forming YÄnavanta Yoga. It is very obvious that she is very spiritual but her path to spiritual enlightenment and moká¹£a comes from her spouse. It is so simple and so obvious. I am really surprised that you could not see it. Now go back and work out the other examples Best Wishes, Sanjay Rath sohamsa [sohamsa ] On Behalf Of Narasimha P.V.R.

The first complete sound of the name is the seed. VyÄsa has fist complete sound as *vyÄ* and to this add *aá¹* to get *vyÄá¹*. In this manner the nama bÄ«ja of every name can be determined. There are small deviations if the names have á¹› as in ṛṣi or kṛṣṇa then this is substituted by la. Please listen to my teachings on mantra Å›Ästra.

A formula based on equating them is mixing up two unequal sets. That is illogical. Moreover, this formula fails in many examples and works in just two (third example is based on questionable data).

Planet having an influence on both the factors supports spiritual liberation. The 5th and 9th from lagna show poorvapunya and bhagya.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 oá¹ gurave namaḥ Dear Hari we cannot dismiss the fact thatrevelations got from the mantra devatÄ are pointers as that is what the devatÄ is meant to do, but I cannot encourage this trend as then everyday I will have to deal with 700 sohamsa members waking up with new formulae! So why should we study the Å›Ästra? We can just sleep all the time and hope that Kekule devatÄ will bless us. What happens if I prove that the statement of Narasiá¹ha is completely bogus? Will you blame Narasiá¹ha for coming up with this formula or will you blame ParÄÅ›ara for giving him wrong advise in his meditation. You see Hari I have to ensure that Jyotiá¹£a stays within sanity levels.

Last year you simply meditated and got the answers and now you talked to ParÄÅ›ara in meditation and the sage gave you the formula ...do you realise how you sound? It is time to stop meditating and start working. I can also say that every night I go into yoga nidra and in deep meditation all these great secrets were revealed to me ... how would this sound? I am great rishi? I am Maharishi ... there is no end to this infatuation which can destroy the ego. Let go of this kind of stuff and start doing serious research of you have to. There must be a clear HYPOTHESIS, there must be a clear basis for such hypothesis. There must be a CONTROL GROUP and then you have to give the results. That way research is done. What is this sleep talking? Do you mean to say that the results of Srinivasa Ramanujam can be dismissed because the Goddess of Namakkal revealed them to Ramanujam? Or the structure of benzene dismissed because it was revealed in a dream to Kekule? History is replete with such instances. Going further, do you mean to say that the vedas can be dismissed because they were revealed to the rishis? Is medidation of no value in research and intellectual work? best regards Hari ,_._,___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 oá¹ gurave namaḥ Dear Narasiá¹ha Don’t look for God in the human mind – He exists there in some form but He is way beyond. The Moon naká¹£atra only indicates what and how the mind shall be guided towards salvation. It cannot be a confirmation of the existence of God in any form. The presence of chara ÄtmakÄraka associating with the abhiÅ›eka naká¹£atra only shows one who can be god fearing and spiritual. However, if the ÄtmakÄraka is not associated with the lagna then will this light ever enlighten the mind? Secondly, you are using some 5-7 charts andcoming to conclusions. Mercury thy speeds faacinating. Why can’t Padmaja be spiritual? I think she is very spiritual. Zulfikar Ali Bhutto gave his life for Pakistan. Now just because he was from Pakistan we cannot say he was not god fearing. I think he must have a strong faith in God to be prepared to die for his belief in democracy. How many politicians from India can give their life for India? Yasser Arafat was the leader of Palestenias and if he did not have strong faith, you think he would have faced such suffering and led his people? No. He would have found a nice education in some nice university and become a software programmer J to have a cushy job and happy life. Subhash Chandra Bose walked away from the headship of the Congress although he was elected to it simply because Gandhi did not like his dress! Who is more spiritual – one who covets the throne or one who walks away from it. Chiranjeevi ... no comments. Maybe he is spiritual. Who knows ....and finally little Srikar...how can you say he is not spiritual? The bottomline here is that they all have faith ...strong faith in the mind and this faith comes from the abhiÅ›eka tÄrÄ.

After this principle passed in 7 out of 7 spiritually elevated charts I picked, I tried it on 15 normal charts. There were 2 false positives out of 15. In other words, success rate is 100% in correct set and 13% in wrong set. Similar testing can be done with various other principles. For example, take Sanjay's principle that I started with, viz lord of abhisheka nakshatra from Moon being AK as per Vimsottari dasa scheme. As mentioned before, it worked in 2 out of 7 spiritual charts I tried. In the normal charts, there were 6 false positives out of 15. In other words, success rate is 29% in correct set and 40% in wrong set. Success rate of a good principle should be considerably higher in the correct set than in the wrong set. The data for 6 false positives with Sanjay's principle is: Zulfikar Ali Bhutto (1928 January 5, 4:29 pm LMT, 68e08, 27n27), Yasser Arafat (1929 August 29, 2:05 am, 2 hrs east of GMT, 31e15, 30n03), Subhash Chandra Bose (1897 January 23, 12:15 pm LMT, 85e50, 20n30), Telugu film star turned politician Chiranjeevi (1955 August 22, 10:31 am IST, Mogaltur, India), my wife Padmaja (1971 September 12, 8:25 am IST, Guntur, India), a nephew of mine called Srikar (2000 September 28, 4:49 pm EDT, Edison, NJ). * * * > Narasimha are you saying when trying this > to only use the Jagannath Ayanamsa?

The 12th house from AK in it shows the liberation of individual soul as one progresses spiritually. Similarly, SBC is the chakra in the nakshatra space and abhisheka (28th) nakshatra from AK in it shows liberation of soul in the nakshatra space. Planet having an influence on both the factors supports spiritual liberation. The 5th and 9th from lagna show poorvapunya and bhagya. If the same planet influences all the three factors, that planet can suggest liberation. The reverse counting from Rahu is because Rahu goes in reverse.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Namaste, > Explaining clearly the traits of Brahmana , Kshatriya & Vaisya > at the context of learning & sharing of knowledge was very > nicely said. Knowledge is Power but sharing it gives enlightment. Knowledge is indeed Power. However, looking at one's own knowledge as power, feeling proud and wanting to get some influence or authority over people using it is kshatriya attitude. It does not lead to enlightenment. Such attitude restricts the blooming of (and also the benefit to the world from) one's knowledge. One should humbly look at oneself as an instrument of god and operate guided by one's sense of dharma, without being sensitive to whether others are praising or criticizing one. Swami Vivekananda famously said once that Ramakrishna could have created 100 Vivekanandas from sand and whatever he was and did was due to his guru's greatness. That is what I mean by humbly looking at oneself as an instrument. BTW, Swamiji was not one to show off fake humility. He spoke his mind frankly and always stood up for what he believed in, with unmatched honesty, integrity, conviction and fearlessness. Surrender to god, ask for nothing (including any knowledge), be grateful for whatEVER He gives (including any knowledge) and do what you see as your dharma with what he gives you. THAT is the spirit of a braahmana. Interestingly, one with a pure braahmana attitude automatically becomes powerful. One who wants power and control is upset when that is undermined. One who wants money and profits is upset when that is underminded. How can anyone upset one who wants nothing and does whatever one *can* with whatever one *has*? Freedom from desires (including desires related to knowledge) is the highest power. In not-so-old days, braahmanas roamed this earth who very pure like fire, who had no desires and who fulfilled what they saw as their dharma without any expectations or inhibitions. No wonder such braahmanas exuded such power that the whole world was in awe of them and even mighty kings bowed before their " power " . > Your mail has prompted me to delve into the homan section in you > website and shortly I will start with the homan with the various > templates you have cited in your site. PVRji, would you kindly > advise us which homan to start with and what are the benefits > one can get from the various homan's stated in your site. > (Thanks for your time and advises). Ganapathi homam is the best homam for anybody to start with. As a spiritual sadhana, it is a good idea to do Ganapathi homam for a few months before starting any other homam. Ganapathi controls the mooladhara chakra, as well as the the opening of the sushumna nadi. Thus, he protects one's material life and enables spiritual progress. Moreover, Ganapathi sadhana pleases Ketu and that can help in one's astrology pursuits too. > My humble prayers to our Creator to bless with you with all > the knowledge so that you can share it with us My humble prayers to the Mother to create a bunch of purified Braahminical Jyotishis and bless them with perfect knowledge so that the world re-awakens and sanatana dharma is re-estalished firmly on this earth..

If the 6th house reckoned from AmK in D-10 and the 10th star (karma nakshatra) reckoned from AmK in SBC have an influence of the same planet and that planet is also associated with a trine from GL in rasi chart, one rises to a position of power and influence in one's work. We are basically looking for synergy between (a) the professional (D-10) effort (6th) and (b) mental (SBC) activity (10th star) of the spirit of work in one (AmK) and the blessings (trines) related to power and influence (GL). > > Nehru's AmK is Rahu. From Ardra containing Rahu, the 10th star counted anti-zodiacally is Satabhishak. In SBC, it has vedha from Mercury and Venus.

Have faith in god and rishis and surrender. Also, it is important to approach Jyotish knowledge with the spirit of a brahmana. Brahmana is one who cares about nothing other than knowledge and liberation. Kshatriya is one who cares about power, authority and control over others. Vaisya is one who cares about money. Do not look at your Jyotish knowledge as a means to have some control or authority over people and do not feel proud of your knowledge, like a kshatriya. Also, do not look at your Jyotish knowledge as a means to get money and try to increase your gains, like a vaishya. Be a true braahmana in the prusuit of Jyotish knowledge and surrender to god and rishis. Sky is the limit for you then. > > Of course, it is also possible then that you lose interest in Jyotish completely or partially and do not receive any or much Jyotish knowledge. But so be it. As I said, you will receive " whatever knowledge *you need* " . You don't know what you really need, but god does! Complete surrender means not asking for any specific thing and accepting whatever comes one's way! > > * * * > > Reply to Mail 2 below: > > I am replying publicly while keeping your anonymity. > > 2.

When I meditate deeply after homam or in general, I sometimes go into a nice spiritual state. Though there was some desire to find some principle based on abhisheka nakshatra *before* meditation started, it completely vanished from my consciousness as meditation deepened and the regular self-awareness vanished too. Then I was in a nice spiritual state where the logical mind and intuitive mind were very very calm without much mental activity. When I was coming back to a state of normal self-awareness from such a state, I just became aware of a thought. It felt like it was someone's thought just flowing in the universe and I happened to be on the same wavelength and was able to observe it. > > I only said I prayed to Parasara and this formula was given to me. I did not say who gave it to me, because I do not know. But I express my gratitude to Parasara, as I had prayed to him before and then this thought came and moreover this principle is far more logical and far more accurate than anything I was able to synthesize using my rational and intuitive minds before. If one begged the king for money and suddenly found a bag of gold coins thrown into one's backyard by an unseen person, one will only thank the king. Especially if the coins seem to be made of real gold.. > > 5. I am glad you were thinking along those lines! It shows you have some really good samskaras guiding your instincts. You can ask Agni to carry an oblation of ghee to various deities and rishis, without a separate invocation.. For example, if your gotra is Goutama, you can offer an oblation in the fire while saying " om gautamaaya svaahaa. gautamaayedam na mama " . Or, if you want to offer to Jupiter, you can offer an oblation in the fire while saying " om bR^ihaspataye svaahaa. bR^ihaspataya na mama " . You can do this after the main homam and before you start the final offerings to Agni, Vaayu, Surya, Prajapati, Vishnu and Shiva. > > If you want to specifically invoke, you can use the Ganesha invocation from Krishna homam or Shiva homam manual as the template and follow that procedure. Replace " oM gaM gaNapataye namaH " with " oM paM paraasharaaya namaH " or just " oM paraasharaaya namaH " or the verse for Parasara below. Irresepctive of the exact procedure you used, the keys to success are (a) the strength of belief that Parasara is there in fire and (b) respect and surrender for him. Use whatever procedure maximizes those aspects in you. > > Best regards, > Narasimha > ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - > Do a Short Homam Yourself: http://www.VedicAst rologer.org/ homam > Do Pitri Tarpanas Yourself: http://www.VedicAst rologer.org/ tarpana > Spirituality: http://groups. / group/vedic- wisdom > Free Jyotish lessons (MP3): http://vedicastro. home.comcast. net > Free Jyotish software (Windows): http://www.VedicAst rologer.org > Sri Jagannath Centre (SJC) website: http://www.SriJagan nath.org > ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - > > sohamsa@ .com, rajarshi nandy <rajarshi14@ ...> wrote: > > > > Namaste Narasimha, > > > > Very good work. > > > > I was trying this in some charts and most of them gave very accurate results. > > > > I have a few queries: > > > > 1) If both condition (a) and condition (b) get fulfilled, can we safely conclude that this person will attain to the highest spiritual experience of Moksha? > > > > 2) If only one condition is fulfilled, say the Vedha graha aspects the 12th from Ak in D20, but is not connected to 5th and/or 9th in rasi, or vice versa, can we conclude that the person is spiritual but may not reach the highest realization? > > > > 3) In case of no Vedha graha, does it indicate that this person cannot attain moksha in that life time? > > > > Thanks for your research.

The 12th house from AK in it shows the liberation of individual soul as one progresses spiritually. Similarly, SBC is the chakra in the nakshatra space and abhisheka (28th) nakshatra from AK in it shows liberation of soul in the nakshatra space. Planet having an influence on both the factors supports spiritual liberation. The 5th and 9th from lagna show poorvapunya and bhagya. If the same planet influences all the three factors, that planet can suggest liberation. The reverse counting from Rahu is because Rahu goes in reverse.

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Dear Sanjay, > The bottomline here is that they all have faith ... You pointed out the correlation of AK being the Vimsottari dasa lord of abhisheka nakshatra as something important - something that indicates " a high level soul having incarnated " , using Ramnakrishna and Vivekananda as examples. Now, you are diluting it to explain counter-examples and making it something that indicates " having faith " . Of course, so many people in this world are spiritual and have faith. But, *incarnations* of gods, rishis and other " high level souls " , such as Sarada Mata, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Sivananda etc, experience a much higher level of realization than most other people of " faith " . > Secondly, you are using some 5-7 charts andcoming > to conclusions. Mercury thy speeds faacinating. All the seven people I considered are very high level yogis/saints. You cannot find tens or hundreds of accurate charts for saints of *that calibre*. There must be something common to their charts, which is rare and not found in that many charts! That is what I set out to find. Forget how I arrived at my principle. May be, it indeed came out of " delusion " , " infatuatuation " or my " ego " . But, I defined my principle clearly and objectively. It occurs rarely and does not occur in that many charts (which was verified by testing with 15 normal charts). Yet, it is satisfied in all the seven spiritual giant charts picked. Can you try to find another such clear and objective principle?

Guest guest Posted September 14, 2009 Report Share Posted September 14, 2009 Namaste, > It is so simple and so obvious. I am really surprised > that you could not see it. Now go back and work out the > other examples Several new factors are introduced here, diluting the original principle. If one keeps adding new parameters, one can explain any number of charts. If there is a clearly and objectively defined principle that works for most of the great saints/yogis and does not work for most of the normal people, that will mean something. You talked about a clear hypothesis below ( " There must be a clear HYPOTHESIS " ). I gave mine in clear objective terms. It is not something that commonly occurs in many charts and is a rare combination. But it occurs in 7 top notch yogi/saint charts I picked. What exactly is *your* " clear HYPOTHESIS " , regarding the use of abhisheka nakshatra to see " high level souls " that experience high level spiritual realization? There seemed to be a clear hypothesis in the book, which did not work, but now you seem to be implying that there is a lot of *fine print*. If you are able to lay down a hypothesis in clear objective terms, please do so and we can then evaluate it. * * * The correlation that Vivekananda and Ramakrishna had AK owning the abhisheka nakshatra was pointed out as some important factor. But, given how many normal people have it and given that several spiritual greats do not have it, one wonders whether that correlation has any significance at all. One also wonders how many irrelevant correlations were incorrectly observed and highlighted by modern Jyotish authors.. Moreover, we are mixing up different spaces here. Abhisheka nakshatra is defined in the space of 28 stars and Vimsottari lordship is in a space of 27 stars (Abhijit can be abhisheka nakshatra. It has a part of Uttarashadha lorded by Sun and a part of Sravana lorded by Moon). To top it, AK is defined in a space of 8 planets and not 9. Thus, there is mixing up of apples and oranges and grapes here and that makes it is an ill-constructed principle. The fact that it does not do well in practical evaluation does not help either.

There are too many points to say that He is an incarnation of Viṣṇu – another 10% may think so, while the majority of people are convinced that He is an incarnation of Kali. What you are trying to prove is excellent, and I will examine your points below. My basic point is that when we define the incarnation of a Viṣṇu avatÄÂÂra, we need to be very specific of the type of incarnation and the purpose of the incarnation. The re-establishment of dharma is the only purpose of a Viṣṇu incarnation and this primary purpose has to be seen.

He instilled the highest levels of knowledge and renunciation in his Å›iá¹£ya, sometimes by merely touching them. This is the karma of the parameá¹£á¹ÂÂhi guru – Ã…Å¡iva and not that of Viṣṇu.

" > > By explicitly saying that he did not mean it in the vedantic sense and referring to " He who was Rama and Krishna before " , he clearly revealed that he was an incarnation of Lord Vishnu. Ramakrishna never spoke a lie and valued truthfulness highly. The words of the realized man in question himself must be more reliable than questionable and unreliable astrological principles. > > Moreover, a couple of great religious authorities of the time studied Ramakrishna Paramahamsa in his younger days when he was being trained by Bhairavi Brahmani and saw all behavioral signs and physical marks that confirmed to them that he was an incarnation of Vishnu. They declared him to be an incarnation of Vishnu. > > Given these two facts, your conclusion cannot be correct. > > Vivekananda was inherently a jnaani. He rejected Maayaa and even called Ramakrishna's visions of various deities as hallucinations and plays of the mind. He only accepted the formless. Ramakrishna slowly created in him respect and love for Vishnu Maayaa that governs duality. Well, it takes one with purified Vishnu tattva to create respect and love for Vishnu Maayaa in one with raw Shiva tattva. Moreover, it was at the Shiva temple at Amarnath in Himalayas that Vivekananda finally realized his true nature. > > [sJR::] What is the meaning of this paragraph? What is *raw Ã…Å¡iva tattva*?

However, that is no logic. Jupiter is not just Sadashiva, he is Jagannath too. Some of Vishnu's avataras have been the greatest gurus. Krishna is the ultimate jagadguru for his teaching of Bhagavad Gita, the greatest spiritual teaching ever. > > [sJR::] All Viṣṇu avatÄÂÂra are guru in the sense of teaching the supreme knowledge, but then this is not their primary function. Their primary function is the establishment of Dharma. Even Rama is a great teacher – janani janma bhoomi comes from Him. Ã…Å¡rÄ« Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is the ultimate incarnation of teaching but His primary objective was to teach sankirtana as a means to emancipation from Kali yuga. It is the primary objective that decides the nature of the incarnation. > > Also, take the example of another illustrious guru-sishya pair from a few millennia back - Govinda Bhagavatpada and Aadi Shankara. Govinda Bhagavatpada was a highly learned and elevated master. He too had several great sishyas. His main sishya Aadi Shankara is considered an incarnation of Lord Shiva and Govinda Bhagavatpada is considered to be of Vishnu tattwa. > > If one says that Govinda Bhagavatpada must have had an amsha of Shiva (Jupiter) because he was the guru and that Aadi Shankara must have had an amsha of Vishnu (Mercury) because he was the sishya, that would be no logic at all! Shiva himself said that he would be born as Aadi Shankara. > > Actually, given the parallels between the lives of Aadi Shankara and Vivekananda, it is possible that Vivekananda was a re-incarnation of Aadi Shankara. > > [sJR::] You are reading too much into the Jupiter-Mercury factors. They are significators – kÄÂÂraka and they are final indicators in a horoscope but then there are the lords and houses ... > > Now you are refuting Thakur Ramakrishna who said that Narain is an incarnation of the seniormost of the sapta-rishi’s (i.e. Kashyapa of MarÄ«ci clan).

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 oá¹ paramagurave namaḥ Dear Sanjay, pranaams  I think you are ignoring something here: without hard work and thinking, the dreams/revelations are useless. Ramanujam studied all the mathematics textbooks he could get hold of before he came up with his formulas. Kekule literally broke his head trying to figure out the structure of benzene in the laboratory before it was revealed to him.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 oá¹ gurave namaḥ Dear Narasiá¹ha Firstly, that is the first volume of the book to show how the 27 naká¹£atra work Secondly, the abhiÅ›eka naká¹£atra is the last naká¹£atra, be it the 27 or 28 naká¹£atra scheme that we use. You are again wrong here Thirdly, like the ÄrÅ«á¸ha, it will take a little time for people to digest, so take your time. There is no clear formula in jyotish and time and again we have seen that every yoga has worked in some charts and failed in others. It depends on how high we are aiming to go in this subject to learn the *fine print* of the rishi Best Wishes Sanjay Rath WebPages: http://srath.com Jaimini Scholar: http://sohamsa.com SJC: http://.org Jyotish Digest, Books: http://sagittariuspublications.com sohamsa [sohamsa ] On Behalf Of Narasimha PVR Rao 15 September 2009 02:36 sohamsa Re: Ramakrishna, Shiva and Abhisheka Nakshatra Namaste, > It is so simple and so obvious. I am really surprised > that you could not see it. Now go back and work out the > other examples Several new factors are introduced here, diluting the original principle. If one keeps adding new parameters, one can explain any number of charts. If there is a clearly and objectively defined principle that works for most of the great saints/yogis and does not work for most of the normal people, that will mean something. You talked about a clear hypothesis below ( " There must be a clear HYPOTHESIS " ). I gave mine in clear objective terms. It is not something that commonly occurs in many charts and is a rare combination. But it occurs in 7 top notch yogi/saint charts I picked. What exactly is *your* " clear HYPOTHESIS " , regarding the use of abhisheka nakshatra to see " high level souls " that experience high level spiritual realization? There seemed to be a clear hypothesis in the book, which did not work, but now you seem to be implying that there is a lot of *fine print*. If you are able to lay down a hypothesis in clear objective terms, please do so and we can then evaluate it. * * * The correlation that Vivekananda and Ramakrishna had AK owning the abhisheka nakshatra was pointed out as some important factor. But, given how many normal people have it and given that several spiritual greats do not have it, one wonders whether that correlation has any significance at all. One also wonders how many irrelevant correlations were incorrectly observed and highlighted by modern Jyotish authors.. Moreover, we are mixing up different spaces here. Abhisheka nakshatra is defined in the space of 28 stars and Vimsottari lordship is in a space of 27 stars (Abhijit can be abhisheka nakshatra. It has a part of Uttarashadha lorded by Sun and a part of Sravana lorded by Moon). To top it, AK is defined in a space of 8 planets and not 9. Thus, there is mixing up of apples and oranges and grapes here and that makes it is an ill-constructed principle. The fact that it does not do well in practical evaluation does not help either.

There are too many points to say that He is an incarnation of Viṣṇu – another 10% may think so, while the majority of people are convinced that He is an incarnation of Kali. What you are trying to prove is excellent, and I will examine your points below. My basic point is that when we define the incarnation of a Viṣṇu avatÄÂÂra, we need to be very specific of the type of incarnation and the purpose of the incarnation. The re-establishment of dharma is the only purpose of a Viṣṇu incarnation and this primary purpose has to be seen.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 oá¹ gurave namaḥ Dear Narasiá¹ha In both cases the Lagna was associated.

You pointed out the correlation of AK being the Vimsottari dasa lord of abhisheka nakshatra as something important - something that indicates " a high level soul having incarnated " , using Ramnakrishna and Vivekananda as examples. Now, you are diluting it to explain counter-examples and making it something that indicates " having faith " . Of course, so many people in this world are spiritual and have faith. But, *incarnations* of gods, rishis and other " high level souls " , such as Sarada Mata, Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, Swami Vivekananda, Swami Sivananda etc, experience a much higher level of realization than most other people of " faith " . > Secondly, you are using some 5-7 charts andcoming > to conclusions. Mercury thy speeds faacinating. All the seven people I considered are very high level yogis/saints. You cannot find tens or hundreds of accurate charts for saints of *that calibre*. There must be something common to their charts, which is rare and not found in that many charts! That is what I set out to find. Forget how I arrived at my principle. May be, it indeed came out of " delusion " , " infatuatuation " or my " ego " . But, I defined my principle clearly and objectively. It occurs rarely and does not occur in that many charts (which was verified by testing with 15 normal charts). Yet, it is satisfied in all the seven spiritual giant charts picked. Can you try to find another such clear and objective principle?

The 12th house from AK in it shows the liberation of individual soul as one progresses spiritually. Similarly, SBC is the chakra in the nakshatra space and abhisheka (28th) nakshatra from AK in it shows liberation of soul in the nakshatra space. Planet having an influence on both the factors supports spiritual liberation. The 5th and 9th from lagna show poorvapunya and bhagya. If the same planet influences all the three factors, that planet can suggest liberation. The reverse counting from Rahu is because Rahu goes in reverse.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 oá¹ gurave namaḥ Dear Narasiá¹ha I think the best way to start sÄdhana is to start reciting the Mahamantra of Kali yuga as all mantra and pujÄ have many flaws and these can cause suffering when not done by experts. Only mantra with the name of Krishna have no flaws ... I quote Mantra Mahodadhih in support Please quote your source in support Best Wishes Sanjay Rath WebPages: http://srath.com Jaimini Scholar: http://sohamsa.com SJC: http://.org Jyotish Digest, Books: http://sagittariuspublications.com sohamsa [sohamsa ] On Behalf Of Narasimha PVR Rao 15 September 2009 02:32 sohamsa Re: Ramakrishna, Shiva and Abhisheka Nakshatra Namaste, > Explaining clearly the traits of Brahmana , Kshatriya & Vaisya > at the context of learning & sharing of knowledge was very > nicely said. Knowledge is Power but sharing it gives enlightment. Knowledge is indeed Power. However, looking at one's own knowledge as power, feeling proud and wanting to get some influence or authority over people using it is kshatriya attitude. It does not lead to enlightenment. Such attitude restricts the blooming of (and also the benefit to the world from) one's knowledge. One should humbly look at oneself as an instrument of god and operate guided by one's sense of dharma, without being sensitive to whether others are praising or criticizing one. Swami Vivekananda famously said once that Ramakrishna could have created 100 Vivekanandas from sand and whatever he was and did was due to his guru's greatness. That is what I mean by humbly looking at oneself as an instrument. BTW, Swamiji was not one to show off fake humility. He spoke his mind frankly and always stood up for what he believed in, with unmatched honesty, integrity, conviction and fearlessness. Surrender to god, ask for nothing (including any knowledge), be grateful for whatEVER He gives (including any knowledge) and do what you see as your dharma with what he gives you. THAT is the spirit of a braahmana. Interestingly, one with a pure braahmana attitude automatically becomes powerful. One who wants power and control is upset when that is undermined. One who wants money and profits is upset when that is underminded. How can anyone upset one who wants nothing and does whatever one *can* with whatever one *has*? Freedom from desires (including desires related to knowledge) is the highest power. In not-so-old days, braahmanas roamed this earth who very pure like fire, who had no desires and who fulfilled what they saw as their dharma without any expectations or inhibitions. No wonder such braahmanas exuded such power that the whole world was in awe of them and even mighty kings bowed before their " power " . > Your mail has prompted me to delve into the homan section in you > website and shortly I will start with the homan with the various > templates you have cited in your site. PVRji, would you kindly > advise us which homan to start with and what are the benefits > one can get from the various homan's stated in your site. > (Thanks for your time and advises). Ganapathi homam is the best homam for anybody to start with. As a spiritual sadhana, it is a good idea to do Ganapathi homam for a few months before starting any other homam. Ganapathi controls the mooladhara chakra, as well as the the opening of the sushumna nadi. Thus, he protects one's material life and enables spiritual progress. Moreover, Ganapathi sadhana pleases Ketu and that can help in one's astrology pursuits too. > My humble prayers to our Creator to bless with you with all > the knowledge so that you can share it with us My humble prayers to the Mother to create a bunch of purified Braahminical Jyotishis and bless them with perfect knowledge so that the world re-awakens and sanatana dharma is re-estalished firmly on this earth..

If the 6th house reckoned from AmK in D-10 and the 10th star (karma nakshatra) reckoned from AmK in SBC have an influence of the same planet and that planet is also associated with a trine from GL in rasi chart, one rises to a position of power and influence in one's work. We are basically looking for synergy between (a) the professional (D-10) effort (6th) and (b) mental (SBC) activity (10th star) of the spirit of work in one (AmK) and the blessings (trines) related to power and influence (GL). > > Nehru's AmK is Rahu.

After coming home from work, I used to spend as much time on astrology study and research, as I used to spend on my main profession during the day. > > After spiritual transformation in recent years, I stopped spending that much time. However, the productivity of my Jyotish research went up. Some ideas that struck to my mind at the end of nice meditation sessions turned out to be good and simply worked in several charts that I tried out later. > > If you surrender to god and rishis, you will receive whatever knowledge you need for your activities in this life. Have faith in god and rishis and surrender. Also, it is important to approach Jyotish knowledge with the spirit of a brahmana. Brahmana is one who cares about nothing other than knowledge and liberation. Kshatriya is one who cares about power, authority and control over others. Vaisya is one who cares about money. Do not look at your Jyotish knowledge as a means to have some control or authority over people and do not feel proud of your knowledge, like a kshatriya. Also, do not look at your Jyotish knowledge as a means to get money and try to increase your gains, like a vaishya. Be a true braahmana in the prusuit of Jyotish knowledge and surrender to god and rishis. Sky is the limit for you then. > > Of course, it is also possible then that you lose interest in Jyotish completely or partially and do not receive any or much Jyotish knowledge. But so be it. As I said, you will receive " whatever knowledge *you need* " . You don't know what you really need, but god does! Complete surrender means not asking for any specific thing and accepting whatever comes one's way! > > * * * > > Reply to Mail 2 below: > > I am replying publicly while keeping your anonymity. > > 2. Yes, a blue light from a Shiva linga entered his mother when she was pregnant with him. She also had darshan of many celestial beings on a regular basis during her pregnancy, which stopped after the delivery. > > Actually, Vishnu told his father in the dream at Gaya that you refer to, that *he himself* would come as a son. > > There are different indications, but what Ramakrishna himself declared should be the final word. > > 4. When I meditate deeply after homam or in general, I sometimes go into a nice spiritual state. Though there was some desire to find some principle based on abhisheka nakshatra *before* meditation started, it completely vanished from my consciousness as meditation deepened and the regular self-awareness vanished too. Then I was in a nice spiritual state where the logical mind and intuitive mind were very very calm without much mental activity. When I was coming back to a state of normal self-awareness from such a state, I just became aware of a thought. It felt like it was someone's thought just flowing in the universe and I happened to be on the same wavelength and was able to observe it. > > I only said I prayed to Parasara and this formula was given to me. I did not say who gave it to me, because I do not know. But I express my gratitude to Parasara, as I had prayed to him before and then this thought came and moreover this principle is far more logical and far more accurate than anything I was able to synthesize using my rational and intuitive minds before. If one begged the king for money and suddenly found a bag of gold coins thrown into one's backyard by an unseen person, one will only thank the king. Especially if the coins seem to be made of real gold.. > > 5. I am glad you were thinking along those lines! It shows you have some really good samskaras guiding your instincts. You can ask Agni to carry an oblation of ghee to various deities and rishis, without a separate invocation.. For example, if your gotra is Goutama, you can offer an oblation in the fire while saying " om gautamaaya svaahaa. gautamaayedam na mama " . Or, if you want to offer to Jupiter, you can offer an oblation in the fire while saying " om bR^ihaspataye svaahaa. bR^ihaspataya na mama " . You can do this after the main homam and before you start the final offerings to Agni, Vaayu, Surya, Prajapati, Vishnu and Shiva. > > If you want to specifically invoke, you can use the Ganesha invocation from Krishna homam or Shiva homam manual as the template and follow that procedure. Replace " oM gaM gaNapataye namaH " with " oM paM paraasharaaya namaH " or just " oM paraasharaaya namaH " or the verse for Parasara below. Irresepctive of the exact procedure you used, the keys to success are (a) the strength of belief that Parasara is there in fire and (b) respect and surrender for him. Use whatever procedure maximizes those aspects in you. > > Best regards, > Narasimha > ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - > Do a Short Homam Yourself: http://www.VedicAst rologer.org/ homam > Do Pitri Tarpanas Yourself: http://www.VedicAst rologer.org/ tarpana > Spirituality: http://groups. / group/vedic- wisdom > Free Jyotish lessons (MP3): http://vedicastro. home.comcast. net > Free Jyotish software (Windows): http://www.VedicAst rologer.org > Sri Jagannath Centre (SJC) website: http://www.SriJagan nath.org > ------------ --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- - > > sohamsa@ .com, rajarshi nandy <rajarshi14@ ...> wrote: > > > > Namaste Narasimha, > > > > Very good work. > > > > I was trying this in some charts and most of them gave very accurate results. > > > > I have a few queries: > > > > 1) If both condition (a) and condition (b) get fulfilled, can we safely conclude that this person will attain to the highest spiritual experience of Moksha? > > > > 2) If only one condition is fulfilled, say the Vedha graha aspects the 12th from Ak in D20, but is not connected to 5th and/or 9th in rasi, or vice versa, can we conclude that the person is spiritual but may not reach the highest realization? > > > > 3) In case of no Vedha graha, does it indicate that this person cannot attain moksha in that life time? > > > > Thanks for your research.

Secondly, the space of Vimsottari lord of abhisheka nakshtra contains nine planets, while the space of chara karakas contains eight planets. A formula based on equating them is mixing up two unequal sets. That is illogical. Moreover, this formula fails in many examples and works in just two (third example is based on questionable data).

The 12th house from AK in it shows the liberation of individual soul as one progresses spiritually. Similarly, SBC is the chakra in the nakshatra space and abhisheka (28th) nakshatra from AK in it shows liberation of soul in the nakshatra space. Planet having an influence on both the factors supports spiritual liberation. The 5th and 9th from lagna show poorvapunya and bhagya. If the same planet influences all the three factors, that planet can suggest liberation. The reverse counting from Rahu is because Rahu goes in reverse.

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2009 Report Share Posted September 15, 2009 Namaste, The previous principle for " high level souls having incarnated " turned out to be too commonplace and not particularly correlated with high level spiritual people. Now, you are proposing a new principle rather vaguely. If we say " AK associating with lagna " shows it, again it will be commonplace and many people will have it. Depending on how you define " association " , some 50-85% people will have it. If you say this is to be combined with abhisheka nakshatra, how? If you give a well-defined principle, we can discuss it. You said " There must be a clear HYPOTHESIS " , even though I gave a very clear, specific and not-so-common formula and demonstrated it with examples. At the same time, you are not giving any " clear hypothesis " . If you do, we can see what percentage of spiritual greats have it and what percentage of regular people have it. It seems to me that correlations which were casually observed by an author and which mean nothing in reality are highlighted in books these days as though they have some higher significance.

Guest guest Posted September 17, 2009 Report Share Posted September 17, 2009 oá¹ gurave namaḥ ParÄÅ›ara had assumed that this sädhärana vidyÄ on naká¹£atra was known to all before they embark on his monumental classic – BPHS. Now, you are trying to use a sädhärana vidyÄ for final results. There is nothing to propose – it is there for those whose eyes are willing to open. It is so obvious – abhiÅ›eka as in rudra-abhiÅ›eka, rÄjya abhiÅ›eka .... is it so tough. But then you take naká¹£atra vidyÄ as the be all and end all of jyotiá¹£a, then naturally you will come under some shock. Unfortunately this vidyÄ is lost to most astrologers in India and in the next 10 or so years, they will all know it and then the subsequent generations will learn about naká¹£atra first before they venture into horÄ Å›Ästra. I will examine your formula and give you a detailed update about it. But that is not possible immediately. I am one who stuides well, so let me study it well and understand why you said what you said. Best Wishes Sanjay Rath WebPages: http://srath.com Jaimini Scholar: http://sohamsa.com SJC: http://.org Jyotish Digest, Books: http://sagittariuspublications.com sohamsa [sohamsa ] On Behalf Of pvr108 16 September 2009 01:04 sohamsa Re: Ramakrishna, Shiva and Abhisheka Nakshatra Namaste, The previous principle for " high level souls having incarnated " turned out to be too commonplace and not particularly correlated with high level spiritual people. Now, you are proposing a new principle rather vaguely. If we say " AK associating with lagna " shows it, again it will be commonplace and many people will have it. Depending on how you define " association " , some 50-85% people will have it. If you say this is to be combined with abhisheka nakshatra, how? If you give a well-defined principle, we can discuss it. You said " There must be a clear HYPOTHESIS " , even though I gave a very clear, specific and not-so-common formula and demonstrated it with examples. At the same time, you are not giving any " clear hypothesis " . If you do, we can see what percentage of spiritual greats have it and what percentage of regular people have it. It seems to me that correlations which were casually observed by an author and which mean nothing in reality are highlighted in books these days as though they have some higher significance.

He rejected Maayaa and even called Ramakrishna's visions of various deities as hallucinations and plays of the mind. He only accepted the formless. Ramakrishna slowly created in him respect and love for Vishnu Maayaa that governs duality. Well, it takes one with purified Vishnu tattva to create respect and love for Vishnu Maayaa in one with raw Shiva tattva.

Secondly, the space of Vimsottari lord of abhisheka nakshtra contains nine planets, while the space of chara karakas contains eight planets. A formula based on equating them is mixing up two unequal sets. That is illogical. Moreover, this formula fails in many examples and works in just two (third example is based on questionable data).

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2009 Report Share Posted November 10, 2009 || Hare Rama Krushna ||Namaskaar Narasimha Ji,I was catching up with the old emails on Sohamsa, and I came across your messages elucidating the following two principles:Principle 1> The D-20 is the chart of spiritual progress. The 12th house from AK in it shows the liberation of > individual soul as one progresses spiritually. Similarly, SBC is the chakra in the nakshatra space and > abhisheka (28th) nakshatra from AK in it shows liberation of soul in the nakshatra space. Planet > having an influence on both the factors supports spiritual liberation. The 5th and 9th from lagna > show poorvapunya and bhagya. If the same planet influences all the three factors, that planet can > suggest liberation. The reverse counting from Rahu is because Rahu goes in reverse. Even when > defining argala, Parasara asked to reckon argalas and virodha argalas based on houses from Rahu > and Ketu in anti-zodiacal order.Principle 2> I will illustrate just one more principle. If the 6th house reckoned from AmK in D-10 and the 10th > star (karma nakshatra) reckoned from AmK in SBC have an influence of the same planet and that > planet is also associated with a trine from GL in rasi chart, one rises to a position of power and > influence in one's work. We are basically looking for synergy between (a) the professional (D-10) > effort (6th) and (b) mental (SBC) activity (10th star) of the spirit of work in one (AmK) and the > blessings (trines) related to power and influence (GL).I studied both these principles in several charts. I do not feel that I can do any justice towards testing the first principle, because, after all, who am I to pass a judgment about someone's spirituality and then check the validity of my presumptuous opinion in their charts?! However, I think I can do justice to testing the second principle that you propose because power and influence, especially power, that an individual wields is a tangible thing, and can be perceived by the outside World.You did provide 6 charts to support Principle 2. However, in my study I have come across quite a few charts where this principle does not work. Here are the examples of the charts where the principle does not work. Please note that I used Jagannatha Ayanamsa and mixed 7/8 chara karakas (as per your interpretation of Parasara).1) Al GoreDoB: 03/31/1948ToB: 12:58PoB: 77W02, 38N54TZ: 5:00 Hrs. West of GMTAmK is Budha. Sixth from AmK in Dasamsa is owned by Shani and Rahu and is given rasi drishti by Shani and Surya. In Sarvatobhadra Chakra, the 10th nakshatra from Purvabhadra (occupied by AmK Budha) is Punarvasu. Punarvasu gets vedha from Budha, Guru, and Chandra. So, a common planet is not influencing the first two hot spots. The principle does not work in this chart of an American ex-vice president.2) Abdul KalamDoB: 10/15/1931ToB: 11:30PoB: 79E18, 9N17TZ: 5:30 Hrs. East of GMTAmK is Mangala. Sixth from AmK in Dasamsa is owned by Mangala and Ketu, and is occupied by Guru. Budha and Chandra give rasi drishti. In Sarvatobhadra Chakra, the 10th nakshatra from Visakha (occupied by AmK Mangala) is Satabhishaka. Satabhishaka gets vedha from Shukra. So, a common planet is not influencing the first two hot spots. The principle does not work in this chart of an Indian ex-president.3) Benazir BhuttoDoB: 06/21/1953ToB: 20:16:03PoB: Karachi, PakistanTZ: 5 Hrs. East of GMTAmK is Shukra. Sixth from AmK in Dasamsa is owned by Mangala, and is given rasi drishti by Surya, Shani, and Shukra. In Sarvatobhadra Chakra, the 10th nakshatra from Bharani (occupied by AmK Shukra) is Purvaphalguni, which receives vedha from Ketu. So, a common planet is not influencing the first two hot spots. The principle does not work in this chart of a Pakistani ex-prime minister.4) Boris YeltsinDoB: 02/01/1931ToB: 17:00:00PoB: 63E47, 56N47TZ: 5 Hrs. East of GMTAmK is Shani. Sixth from AmK in Dasamsa is owned by Shani and occupied by Chandra and Ketu. Shani, Budha, and Mangala give rasi drishti. In Sarvatobhadra Chakra, the 10th nakshatra from Purvashadha (occupied by AmK Shani) is Aswini receiving vedha from Chandra. Hence, there is a common planet i.e. Chandra influencing these two hot spots. Let us see if Chandra influences trikona from Ghati Lagna in rasi. Chandra is in Vrishchika and GL is in Tula. Chandra, thus, does not associate in any way to GL or its trikonas. The principle does not work in this chart of a Russian ex-president.5) Donald RumsfeldDoB: 07/09/1932ToB: 17:40:00PoB: 87W39, 41N51TZ: 6 Hrs. West of GMTAmK is Mangala. Sixth from AmK in Dasamsa is owned by Guru, and occupied by Shani. Budha gives rasi drishti. In Sarvatobhadra Chakra, the 10th nakshatra from Rohini (occupied by AmK Mangala) is Hasta, which receives vedha from Shukra. So, a common planet is not influencing the first two hot spots. The principle does not work in this chart of an American ex-secretary of defense.6) Dudley SenanyakeDoB: 06/19/1911ToB: 12:15:51PoB: 79E51, 6N56TZ: 5:30 Hrs. East of GMTAmK is Shani. Sixth from AmK in Dasamsa is owned by Mangala, and Guru, Chandra, Shani, Rahu, and Ketu give rasi drishti. In Sarvatobhadra Chakra, the 10th nakshatra from Bharani (occupied by AmK Shani) is Purvaphalguni, which receives drishti from Chandra. Hence, there is a common planet i.e. Chandra influencing these two hot spots. Let us see if Chandra influences trikona from Ghati Lagna in rasi. Chandra is in Kumbha and GL is in Kanya. Chandra, thus, does not associate in any way to GL or its trikonas. The principle does not work in this chart of a Sri Lankan ex-prime minister.7) Gerald Ford Jr.DoB: 07/14/1913ToB: 0:41:00PoB: 96W01, 41N17TZ: 6 Hrs. West of GMTAmK is Mangala. Sixth from AmK in Dasamsa is owned, and occupied by Shukra. Shani, Chandra, and Budha give rasi drishti. In Sarvatobhadra Chakra, the 10th nakshatra from Krittika (occupied by AmK Mangala) is Uttaraphalguni, which receives vedha from Surya. So, a common planet is not influencing the first two hot spots. The principle does not work in this chart of an American ex-president.8) Henry KissingerDoB: 05/27/1923ToB: 5:30:00PoB: Furth, GermanyTZ: 1:00 Hrs. East of GMTAmK is Shani. Sixth from AmK in Dasamsa is owned by Mangala, and occupied by Guru. Shani, Shukra, and Chandra give rasi drishti. In Sarvatobhadra Chakra, the 10th nakshatra from Hasta (occupied by AmK Shani) is Abhijeet, which receives vedha from Surya, Budha, and Rahu. So, a common planet is not influencing the first two hot spots. The principle does not work in this chart of an American ex-secretary of state.Of course, I ran out of time to test this principle on *all* the charts of politicians that I have. Also, I cannot vouch for the accuracy of birth data that I have used. But I can say this - out of the 16 charts I tested, 8 validated the principle, and 8 did not. The ones that did validate the principle are:1) Adolf Hitler2) Bill Bradley3) Condelizza Rice4) Dr. Murali Manohar Joshi5) Elizabeth Dole6) Franklin Delano Roosevelt7) Jayalalitha8) Abraham LincolnSo the success rate for me was 50%. It also got me thinking that perhaps we should use another varga instead of D-10? Say, D-5? D-5 specifically deals with power and authority as per my understanding. You have put forth two very interesting principles based on your research and blessed intuition. I hope you do write a follow-up to my question.Om Tat SatReema.sohamsa , Narasimha PVR Rao <pvr wrote:>> Namaste Rajarshi,> > (1) Of course not. This is just a conducive factor.

If the 6th house reckoned from AmK in D-10 and the 10th star (karma nakshatra) reckoned from AmK in SBC have an influence of the same planet and that planet is also associated with a trine from GL in rasi chart, one rises to a position of power and influence in one's work. We are basically looking for synergy between (a) the professional (D-10) effort (6th) and (b) mental (SBC) activity (10th star) of the spirit of work in one (AmK) and the blessings (trines) related to power and influence (GL).> > Nehru's AmK is Rahu. From Ardra containing Rahu, the 10th star counted anti-zodiacally is Satabhishak. In SBC, it has vedha from Mercury and Venus. In D-10, the 6th house from Li containing Rahu counted anti-zodiacally is Ta. Venus owns it. In rasi chart, Venus is the lord of GL and joins the lord of the 5th house from GL.> > Indira Gandhi's AmK is Venus. From Poorvashadha containing Venus, the 10th star is Aswini. In SBC, it has vedha from Mars and Jupiter. In D-10, the 6th house from Cn containing Venus is Sg. Jupiter owns it. In rasi chart, Jupiter is the 9th lord from GL.> > Rajiv Gandhi's AmK is Rahu. From Punarvasu containing Rahu, the 10th star counted anti-zodiacally is Poorvabhadra. In SBC, it has vedha from nodes and aspect from Mercury and Mars.

Please ignore my 2 cents if this makes no sense to you.> > I was quite passionate about Jyotish research several years back and used to spend a lot of time in research. I used to sleep at 3 am and get up at 6 am. I used to spend long hours formulating principles and testing them out on charts, changing JHora sometimes for it. After coming home from work, I used to spend as much time on astrology study and research, as I used to spend on my main profession during the day.> > After spiritual transformation in recent years, I stopped spending that much time. However, the productivity of my Jyotish research went up. Some ideas that struck to my mind at the end of nice meditation sessions turned out to be good and simply worked in several charts that I tried out later.> > If you surrender to god and rishis, you will receive whatever knowledge you need for your activities in this life. Have faith in god and rishis and surrender. Also, it is important to approach Jyotish knowledge with the spirit of a brahmana. Brahmana is one who cares about nothing other than knowledge and liberation. Kshatriya is one who cares about power, authority and control over others. Vaisya is one who cares about money. Do not look at your Jyotish knowledge as a means to have some control or authority over people and do not feel proud of your knowledge, like a kshatriya. Also, do not look at your Jyotish knowledge as a means to get money and try to increase your gains, like a vaishya. Be a true braahmana in the prusuit of Jyotish knowledge and surrender to god and rishis. Sky is the limit for you then.> > Of course, it is also possible then that you lose interest in Jyotish completely or partially and do not receive any or much Jyotish knowledge. But so be it. As I said, you will receive "whatever knowledge *you need*". You don't know what you really need, but god does!

When I meditate deeply after homam or in general, I sometimes go into a nice spiritual state. Though there was some desire to find some principle based on abhisheka nakshatra *before* meditation started, it completely vanished from my consciousness as meditation deepened and the regular self-awareness vanished too. Then I was in a nice spiritual state where the logical mind and intuitive mind were very very calm without much mental activity. When I was coming back to a state of normal self-awareness from such a state, I just became aware of a thought. It felt like it was someone's thought just flowing in the universe and I happened to be on the same wavelength and was able to observe it.> > I only said I prayed to Parasara and this formula was given to me. I did not say who gave it to me, because I do not know. But I express my gratitude to Parasara, as I had prayed to him before and then this thought came and moreover this principle is far more logical and far more accurate than anything I was able to synthesize using my rational and intuitive minds before. If one begged the king for money and suddenly found a bag of gold coins thrown into one's backyard by an unseen person, one will only thank the king. Especially if the coins seem to be made of real gold..> > 5. I am glad you were thinking along those lines! It shows you have some really good samskaras guiding your instincts. You can ask Agni to carry an oblation of ghee to various deities and rishis, without a separate invocation. For example, if your gotra is Goutama, you can offer an oblation in the fire while saying "om gautamaaya svaahaa. gautamaayedam na mama". Or, if you want to offer to Jupiter, you can offer an oblation in the fire while saying "om bR^ihaspataye svaahaa. bR^ihaspataya na mama". You can do this after the main homam and before you start the final offerings to Agni, Vaayu, Surya, Prajapati, Vishnu and Shiva.> > If you want to specifically invoke, you can use the Ganesha invocation from Krishna homam or Shiva homam manual as the template and follow that procedure. Replace "oM gaM gaNapataye namaH" with "oM paM paraasharaaya namaH" or just "oM paraasharaaya namaH" or the verse for Parasara below. Irresepctive of the exact procedure you used, the keys to success are (a) the strength of belief that Parasara is there in fire and (b) respect and surrender for him. Use whatever procedure maximizes those aspects in you.> > Best regards,> Narasimha> > Do a Short Homam Yourself: http://www.VedicAstrologer.org/homam> Do Pitri Tarpanas Yourself: http://www.VedicAstrologer.org/tarpana> Spirituality: > Free Jyotish lessons (MP3): http://vedicastro.home.comcast.net> Free Jyotish software (Windows): http://www.VedicAstrologer.org> Sri Jagannath Centre (SJC) website: http://www.SriJagannath.org> > > sohamsa , rajarshi nandy rajarshi14@ wrote:> > > > Namaste Narasimha, > > > > Very good work.> > > > I was trying this in some charts and most of them gave very accurate results.> > > > I have a few queries:> > > > 1) If both condition (a) and condition (b) get fulfilled, can we safely conclude that this person will attain to the highest spiritual experience of Moksha?> > > > 2) If only one condition is fulfilled, say the Vedha graha aspects the 12th from Ak in D20, but is not connected to 5th and/or 9th in rasi, or vice versa, can we conclude that the person is spiritual but may not reach the highest realization?> > > > 3) In case of no Vedha graha, does it indicate that this person cannot attain moksha in that life time?> > > > Thanks for your research.

He rejected Maayaa and even called Ramakrishna' s visions of various deities as hallucinations and plays of the mind. He only accepted the formless. Ramakrishna slowly created in him respect and love for Vishnu Maayaa that governs duality. Well, it takes one with purified Vishnu tattva to create respect and love for Vishnu Maayaa in one with raw Shiva tattva. Moreover, it was at the Shiva temple at Amarnath in Himalayas that Vivekananda finally realized his true nature.> > > > * * *> > > > As Jupiter and Mercury are the natural guru and sishya and Jupiter is supposed to show Sadashiva and Mercury is supposed to show Vishnu, one may be tempted to theorize that Shiva is guru and Vishnu is sishya and attribute Shiva tattva to guru in a guru-sishya pair. However, that is no logic. Jupiter is not just Sadashiva, he is Jagannath too. Some of Vishnu's avataras have been the greatest gurus. Krishna is the ultimate jagadguru for his teaching of Bhagavad Gita, the greatest spiritual teaching ever.> > > > Also, take the example of another illustrious guru-sishya pair from a few millennia back - Govinda Bhagavatpada and Aadi Shankara. Govinda Bhagavatpada was a highly learned and elevated master. He too had several great sishyas. His main sishya Aadi Shankara is considered an incarnation of Lord Shiva and Govinda Bhagavatpada is considered to be of Vishnu tattwa.> > > > If one says that Govinda Bhagavatpada must have had an amsha of Shiva (Jupiter) because he was the guru and that Aadi Shankara must have had an amsha of Vishnu (Mercury) because he was the sishya, that would be no logic at all!

All of them are definitely "high level souls having incarnated".> > > > Moreover, it is questionable to have such an important formula based on "vimsottari lordships", which is just a star-planet mapping for one specific dasa scheme among many, as taught by Parasara. Secondly, the space of Vimsottari lord of abhisheka nakshtra contains nine planets, while the space of chara karakas contains eight planets. A formula based on equating them is mixing up two unequal sets. That is illogical. Moreover, this formula fails in many examples and works in just two (third example is based on questionable data). Thus, it sounds like a formula constructed based on an observation which was made based on just 2-3 charts.> > > > Any genuine formula should work in a far higher percentage of applicable charts.> > > > * * *> > > > I tried to find some reasonable and logical criterion based on abhisheka nakshatra to find initial indications of a potential for liberation, that works in all the charts I mentioned above.

The formula that was given to me is this: "The abhisheka nakshatra - the 28th nakshatra - reckoned from chara aatma kaaraka has aspect or vedha in sarvatobhadra chakra (SBC) from a planet that is also associated with (a) the 12th house from chara aatma kaaraka in D-20 chart and (b) 5th or 9th house from lagna in rasi chart. If chara aatma kaaraka is Rahu, counting of the 28th star in SBC as well as counting of the 12th house in D-20 is in anti-zodiacal order."> > > > The D-20 is the chart of spiritual progress. The 12th house from AK in it shows the liberation of individual soul as one progresses spiritually. Similarly, SBC is the chakra in the nakshatra space and abhisheka (28th) nakshatra from AK in it shows liberation of soul in the nakshatra space. Planet having an influence on both the factors supports spiritual liberation. The 5th and 9th from lagna show poorvapunya and bhagya. If the same planet influences all the three factors, that planet can suggest liberation. The reverse counting from Rahu is because Rahu goes in reverse. Even when defining argala, Parasara asked to reckon argalas and virodha argalas based on houses from Rahu and Ketu in anti-zodiacal order.> > > > Thus, we are finding a planetary influence that brings poorvapunya and bhagya (5th and 9th) to this specific existence (lagna) and promotes liberation (12th house/28th star) of individual soul (AK) in the conscious mental plane (SBC) and the plane of spiritual activity (D-20).> > > > Please note that this formula does not use Vimsottari dasa lordships.
