Vedic Astrology Lesson 14

The Descending Node of the Moon ( South Node )was known as Ketu in Vedic Astrology. Ancient

seers had given him the portfolio of Self_Actualisation ( Moksha ). His position in the 12th ( the house of final emancipation or Moksha ) is extolled highly by the savants. Along with the spiritual planets, Jupiter and Saturn, Ketu should be in a good position in the horoscope for one to attain to the Divine Crown.

Astrology and the Science of Numbers ( Numerology )

Is the Absolute the Numberless Infinite? Or has the Absolute any-thing to do with numbers? Well, Pythagorus inclined to the latter view. Reality, he said , is symbolised by numbers.

Gem Therapy

Modern scientific research has proved that even secondary gems increase planetary rays & these can be used for healing purposes.

Howard Beckman ( http://www.p-g-a.org/) writes ” One example is we have identified obvious beneficial effects of using white sapphire for increasing planetary rays of Venus from our own research over many years. The secretary of the P G A, Mr Richard Shaw Brown, (http://www.agt-gems.com/)through his 3 decades in this field of planetary gemology has also proven the efficacy of certain colours of the tourmaline family for increasing benefic planetary rays of Mercury and the Sun. “

Astrology , Holistic Medicine & Ayurveda

Symbolism behind Vedic temples

Man has three bodies - physical, astral & causal. The outer wall of theVedic temple represents the physical body of man. The inner wall represents the astral body and the innermost wall represents the

Causal body. Deep within these three bodies is the Self, the Atman who is represented by the Deity ! The word temple is derived from the Latin word tempulum, a place where Law and Justice can be

administered. The principle behind the temple, is Know Thyself ! Am I a god, then? Yes In these pure features I behold Creative Nature to soul unfold ( Goethe ) In other words man suffers from three types of illnesses - physical, mental & spiritual. Holistic Medicine takes the Tripod of Life - Body, mind and Self into consideration.

Vedic Holistic Medicine ( Ayurveda) maintains that not only the physical factor but the other factors - mental & spiritual play a pivotal role in the health of the patient. More info about Ayurveda can be had from http://www.chakrapaniayurveda.com/

Astrology & Yoga Therapy

The root Cause of all Disease - Bhoga or Sensory enjoyments Bhoga ( enjoyments of the senses ) is Roga ( Disease). It can only be cured by Yoga ( Divine Alchemy ). All food that is tasty is detrimental to the body, declares Prakriti Therapy The food which cometh from Nature, fruits and vegetables, are alkaline by nature. Maximum health is in an alkaline body. We can only be healthy if we keep a 80%- 20% ratio. ( 80% alkalinity & 20% acidity). This means we have to eat more natural foods & less processed foods ( which are more or less acidic ). Truly speaking, processed

foods,even though they taste well, are robbers as they rob us of our natural, vibrant health.

Astrology & Occult Vibratory Chemistry ( Tantra )

The Serpentine Power in individual bodies, the Kundalini, is the coiled Energy in humans, which rises during Meditation & Prayer. When She ( Kundalini ), the miscrocosmic power of the macrocosmic Shakti, rises from from the Root Chakra & reaches the other Chakras, siddhis or paranormal powers maniest. Clairvoyance, clairaudience, distant healing, the ability to see Auras & ultimately Trikala-jnana ( the power to know Past, Present & future ) all manifest in the aspirant. The aspirant should not be intoxicated by these siddhis. If he tries to exhibit the siddhis or paranormal powers, he may not reach the Goal of Life. Instead he should ignore these powers of the mind & continue his Tapas till he is liberated.

Fredrick Volstadt asked:


There is no doubt that Vedic astrology remains a powerful force in the lives of many persons within the country of India. Sometimes known as Hindu astrology, many of the faith rely upon the natal charts created for newborns to aid in naming the child as well as making decisions about how to raise the child in a manner that is in accordance with his or her projected destiny.

At the same time, much of daily life is impacted by Vedic astrology, such as holidays, decisions on marriages, and even such matters as whether or not to move into a new home. With all this practical application of this ancient form of astrology, it should come as no surprise that Vedic astrology schools are popular among adherents.

While at one time these schools were limited almost exclusively to the study of Vedic astrology, that is no longer the case. Not only have the opportunities to study this tradition broadened in the country of India, but there are now ways for interested students to apply themselves to the study of Vedic astrology regardless of location. Here are some alternatives to the old-line schools that are common today.

First, it is now possible to study Vedic astrology in a traditional university setting. Since 2001, a number of universities in India have included a curriculum that provides advanced degrees in the discipline of Vedic astrology right along with degrees in astronomy and other related subjects.

As is the case with most degree programs, the curriculum includes core courses that provide a broad base for general education along with a focused track of study of various aspects that relate directly to the study of Vedic astrology as well. While this incarnation of Vedic astrology schools is somewhat new and still is subject to some degree of controversy, the presence of a formal degree that is recognized by the state does tend to lend some credibility to the art that may not be present otherwise.

Since Vedic astrology has begun to capture the attention of persons around the world, it should come as no surprise that the Internet is also being used to teach the basics of this form of Indian astrology. Online Vedic astrology schools that provide courses in a variety of languages have become increasingly common. While many of them are based in India, there is an emerging trend of persons who are proficient with the art to open online institutions that offer non-accredited degrees in the discipline.

Generally, the format will include reading assignments, online lectures, various practice exercises, and even homework that is submitted and evaluated by the sponsoring entity. Some of these online educational opportunities are provided at a minimal amount of cost, and allow the student to progress at his or her own pace, rather than following a rigid time frame with the curriculum.

If you are interested in furthering your knowledge of Vedic astrology, these schools are one of many options. You might also consider studying on your own or under an established expert in the field.

Vedic Astrology Lesson 10

“Oriente Lux Occidente Lex ” ( Out of the East Light, out of the West

Laws ) - thus proclaimed the Latin scholars. The Orient became

synonymous with Light and Wisdom. The Occident with laws &

conquest of the outer world. The West still dominates the fields of Science,

Technology & Economics. The East was far more bothered about

conquering the inner world: for the greatest conquest is the conquest

of the Mind ! ” The noblest conquest is the conquest of oneself ” said

Buddha. This inner conquest means to sublimate our ego, conquer

our negative aspect and then redeem the world ! This is far more

difficult than conquering the outer world !

The role of Mars in Horoscopy

Mars is the Defense Minister in the Government of the Almighty. On the

practical plane this fiery planet is the significator of administrative

ability. If the fire of Mars is not present in the natal chart, the native

The term martial is derived from Mars. Police,defence, martial arts -

all these come under his domain. Fiery temparament and skill in war

Astrology and the Science of Numbers ( Numerology )

All the mysteries of the Universe, said Pythagorus, can be represented

by numbers. When we say philosophically that our bodies belong to

the Universal Sea of Matter and that it is One, Reality can be represented

by One. Or when we say the oceans of Matter, Mind and Consciousness

are three, we represent Reality by three. Or when we say Reality is

sevenfold, manifesting as the septenary principles ( VIBGYOR, the

seven octaves of music, the seven states of Consciousness, the seven

tissue elements etc ), we represent Reality by Seven. Numerology , is in

other words, the symbolism of Reality by numbers.

Correspondence between Astrology & Gem Therapy

Howard Beckman ( http://www.p-g-a.org/) writes that “Natural, untreated

gemstones which are repositories of cosmic colors can restore Pranic

Energy to the cells of the body so that their natural vibratory rate may

be regained and normal health may be regained when the body is in a

diseased condition. Blue Sapphire can tranquilize or have a sedative

effect; emerald can be used as an analgesic; yellow sapphire has anti-

septic properties; and diamond may be used as a stimulant - these are

just a few examples of how gems can effetc the healing process in the

body ” ( Howard Beckman - Vibrational Healing with Gems )

Astrology , Holistic Medicine & Ayurveda

Social life in the West increasingly stressful with the advent of

rapid industrialization, urbanization & the breakdown of family

life after the Second World War. The social disturbance caused

by the Vietnam war, the propagation of materialistic ideals &

the erosion of faith in Morality & Ethics brought a sense of futility

& meaninglessness in the Western psyche. The disillusionment

with the promises of Science & technology, the limitations of

the Western system of chemotherapy & the adverse side-effects

of antibiotics, sedatives and certain other drugs made the West turn

to Oriental philosophies, divine practices & systems of therapy.

Holistic Health refers to a modern movement which regards health as

a dynamic state of the total human being. Although the symptoms of

a disease may be found in certain tissues or organs, health is not a

mere removal of such symptoms by the treatment of the affected

tissues or organs, but a state of multidimensional experience,

according to this perspective. The mind, body & environment are

in a state of dynamic interaction & the maintenance of this interaction

in a maximal state of efficiency is what health means. In other words

“To be healthy is to have the ability, despite an occasional bout of

illness, to live with full use of our faculties and be vigorous, alert and

happy to be alive, even in old age.” This concept of operational

health has been termed as wellness. It is a sense of all-round

well-being.

Sir William Osler’s advice that Whole is more important than the Part

( that the patient who has the disease is more important than the disease

of the patient ) is reminiscent of Plato - ” No treatment of the parts

should be attempted without treatment of the entirety”. ( Plato;’ The

State’ ,380 Ante Domino ) The horoscope represents the Whole

and the 12 houses are the 12 limbs of the body.

Ayurveda, Tai Chi,Yoga Therapy, Pranic Healing, Reflexology, Reiki,

The Ayurvedic Model

In the Ayurvedic Model, the planets are classified thus

Jupiter Kapha

Sun Pitta

Moon Vata & Kapha

Mars Pitta

Mercury Pitta, Vata & Kapha

Venus Vata & Kapha

Saturn Vata

Based on the great Sankhya school of Indian philosophy, Ayurveda

conceives life as the interplay of three life principles called humours

( which correspond to the three Gunas of Sankhya - Sattwa, Rajas

and Thamas ). These are Vata ( wind), Pitta( bile) & Kapha ( phlegm).

Equilibrium of the three humours is considered as health and any

disturbance in that equilibrium is regarded as disease. One of the

three humours will be predominant in the body. Hence human

bodies have been classified under three types: Vata type,

Pitta type & Kapha type.The body constitution is taken into account

while prescribing diet and medicine.

Astrology , Yoga & Pranic Healing

Yoga is the science of holistic health. According to Yoga therapy,

disease was defined as an imbalance in any of the three lower

sheaths of existence - physical, vital & mental. The other sheaths are

the higher sheaths - intellectual & bliss sheaths. To attain higher

states of Consciousness, we should keep our lower & higher

sheaths in proper balance and use our higher sheaths.

Removing mental blocks is a major step in Pranic Therapy.

Removing Mental Blocks

Due to the presence of obstructions within, the Cosmic Energy

called Prana does not flow freely within the individual & the Universal

life. This is the main reason holistic health practices often fail

or succeed only partially. These obstructions are caused by

Samskaras, residual traces of our past actions and experiences.

Samskaras are of two kinds, those which only produce memories

( smriti ) of past experiences and those which produce impulses or

drives to repeat these experiences called vasanas Complex

patterns of love, hate, fear and other emotions are generated

by these psychic memories.. These complexes do obstruct

the free flow of Life energy in us.

These complexes, formed in childhood & adolescence are

repressed into the unconscious regions of the mind & these

repressed samskaras lodged in the hidden recesses of the

unconscious go on creating psychological & psychosomatic

problems.

Without a Guru, it is difficult to confront & ferret out these repressed

complexities. It is not easy to encounter the past experiences and

deactivate them.The true mystic who depends only on Divine Power

may find that these inner blocks are removed by Divine Grace.

Astro-Therapy helps in removing mental blocks. By taking recourse to

remedial measures, faith and Grace Divine allows the horoscopian to

overcome the mental blocks & negative planetary influences.

Astrology & Occult Vibratory Chemistry ( Tantra )

Occult Vibratory Chemistry existed in India by the name of Tantra.

Tantras developed a different but parallel model of human personality

Whereas Vedanta & Yoga speak of Five Sheaths or Koshas, the

Tantras speak of six chakras.

In the Tantric Model, life is regarded as the unfolding of the Self at six

different levels of consciousness known as Chakras. In ordinary people

the unfolding takes place only at the first three chakras which represent

procreation, metabolism & speech; the higher three chakras remain

latent . The awakening of the higher chakras results in the unfolding

and fulfillment of spiritual life. The Heart Chakra ( Anahata ), the Throat

Chakra ( Vishuddhi ) & the Eye Brow Chakra ( Ajna ) are the higher

chakras, which when awakened, can lead man to Cosmic Consciousness.

Sir John Woodroffe was a researcher in Tantra and he had written many

scholarly books on the subject. His magnum opus is the “Serpent Power”,

which is a scientific treatise about the Kundalini, the feminine serpentine

energy present in humans.

Yantras are diagramatic patterns about Manifestation. The Central Dot

or the Bindu represents the Absoulte Self and the geometrical figures

are Its different levels of manifestation.

The main remedies used in Astro-Therapy are Tantric. Hence Tantra

continues to be a close affiliate of Astrology.

Vedic Astrology Lesson 34

Directional Influences

Nothing happens by itself. Everything happens by Cause. The Universal Law of Cause & Effect, the Law of Retribution, the Law of Nemesis, the Law of Action & Reaction is the grand Law of Causation, known to the philosophers as the Universal Law of Karma. Who can transcend the Universal Law ?

The system in VA which corresponds to this Universal Law is called the Dasa System, which is made up of planetary periods and subperiods and which extends to 120 years. Dasa is translated as the period of directional influence of the ruling planet. Inevitable effects are to be judged from Dasa ( Dasa prabhedena Vichinthayeth Dridam). Astrology is based on this Universal Law of Cause and Effect .

In his ignorance, Man transgresses the eternal Laws of Nature & wonders when her inexorable penalties are exacted. There is a mathematical law behind this physical Universe, which is conditioned in Space, Time & Causality. All events are connected by Time, all places are connected by Space & all effects are connected by Cause in the Space-Time-Causality equation.

Planets have got dualistic role and always the negative aspect of the ruling planet must be taken into consideration & divine remedial measures must be resorted to overcome the minus points of the Dasa ruler.

Philosophically Dasa represents the Prarabda Karma (the inevitable punishment imparted by Nature for a deed done with malice aforethought ) of the native and the ineluctable effects he/she has to undergo during the planet’s reign.

There are many Dasa systems, the prominent among them being Vimshottari Dasa System. Vimshottari means 120 and this is a 120 year cycle. Every planet is given a period in sequential order of stars in the Sidereal Zodiac. For instance, South Node ( Ketu ) is assigned a period of 7 years & the South Node rules the first constellation Beta Arietis (Aswini ). The ruler of the next constellation of 41 Arietis ( Bharani ), Venus, gets 20 years. Sun gets 6 years, Moon 10, Mars 7, North Node ( Rahu ) 18, Jupiter 16, Saturn 19 & Mercury 17. This 120 year system is the most widely used. There are other systems like the Kala Chakra Dasa System, based on the Signs of the Sidereal Zodiac, which are also used.

There is a rule that if the Moon’s Navamsa dispositor is strong, the Kala Chakra Dasa should be used. ( Kala Chakra Dasagneyam Chandramsheshe Balanvithe ). If not, the 120 year cycle or Vimshotthari can be be used.

There are many astrologers who base their predictions on other systems of predictions. There are actually 3 major systems of prediction in V A.

1) The Vimshottari or Udu Dasa System of 120 years.

2) The Transit of Gochara System based on Planetary Transits.

3) The Ashtakavarga System.

The Transit influences are always subordinate to the Directional influences. This is exemplified by the statement ” Dasa Prabhedena Vichinthayeth Dridam ” ( Dasa deals with ineluctable effects ). Transit influences are caused by non-Prarabdha Karma ( Dridadridam cha Ashtakavarga Gocharai ).

The accumulated Karma of the individual is called Sanchitha Karma. The Karma which is about to come is called Agami and the Karma for which inevitable punishment is necessary is called Prarabda Karma. It is this Prarabda Karma, which needs ineluctable punishment, which is represented by Dasa or the Planetary Period of Directional Influence.

In order to know whether a Dasa is beneficial or not, one should study the strength of the Dasa ruler. If the Dasa ruler is a functional benefic ( owner of a trine or angle ) in the chart & if he be well posited, one can surmise that the directional influences will be benefic. If on the other hand, the Dasa ruler is a functional malefic and badly positioned in the natal chart, the directional influences can be very adverse indeed. Aspects from other planets should also be considered. Planets in cuspal degree are devoid of strength. So are combust planets and planets weak in the Navamsa chart. It is always better to know the strength of the planet via Shad Bala ( the sixfold source of planetary strength ) and apply the principle ” Balavan Ishtam Kuruthe, Balaheeeno Viparya “. ( a powerful planet will do only good and weak planet will do harm ).

The balance Dasa at the time of birth is ascertained by observing the longitude of the Moon and the distance traversed by the Moon in that particular constellation. If the Moon has traversed, say 75%, the balance 25% will be the dasa balance at birth. A constellation is 800 minutes or 13 degrees 20 minutes of arc. For example, if the Star is Pushya ruled by Saturn and if the Moon has traversed 600 minutes of arc in the 800 minutes of Pushya, the balance Dasa can be calculated by the formula

Balance Dasa at birth = 19 years of Saturn Dasa * (800-600)/800

Trisphuta Dasa in Horary Astrology

As important as Vimshottari is to Natal Astrology, so is Trisphuta Dasa to Horary Astrology. The Ascendant rules Life, the Moon the Body & Gulika , the satellite of Saturn, Death. The sum of these 3 longitudes is called the Triune Longitude or Trisphuta. Since Horary Astrology deals only the the current effects for one year, the span of Trisphuta Dasa is one Year. In Horary Astrology, the numbers assigned to the planets in terms of years is multiplied by 3 to get days ruled by the planet. So Sun gets 18 days, Venus 60 days, Moon 30 days, Mars 21 days, Rahu 54 days, Jupiter 48 days , Saturn 57 days, Mercury 51 days, Ketu 21 days etc. Here, instead of the longitude of the Moon, the longitude of Trisphuta ( Triune Longitude ) should be taken into consideration.

Vedic Astrology Lesson 17

Regarding the Third House

The third house is the eighth from the eighth. Since the Eighth house represents death, the eighth from the eighth ( the Third House ) is considered dangerous. On the positive side, younger coborns & Help are indicated by the Third House. If the third house is vitiated by malefics, help from others will be found wanting. Here we enumerate the effects of the Third Lord in the 12 Houses

The Effect of the Third Lord in the Ist House

Since the 3rd lord is in the Ascendant, the native is likely to be a selfsufficient and self made person. The native’s intelligence & know ledge will be impressive despite his/her qualifications. He/she will have to learn to control anger which can be his/her greatest enemy. Though their appearance is on the lean side they will exhibit vitality and energy in all critical situations.They tend to be attracted to fine arts & will be drawn to acting, music & dancing

The Effect of the Third Lord in the 2nd House

Since the 3rd lord is in the 2nd, the native may be lazy or lethargic as he/she do not take his/her undertakings seriously. They may also be attracted to their neighbours assets which may be considered to be mischievious by many. Unnatural means of personal gratification may be resorted to by them. Their image may be spoiled by their headstrong behaviour and their extravagance. They may not keep punctuality and they may not also keep up the decencies of debate. They may not have good relations with the younger co-borns. They may have hostile neighbours.

The Effect of the Third Lord in the 3rd House

Since the 3rd lord is in the 3rd, the native will have the company of brothers & sisters. He/she cannot don the deceptive role. Optimism is deeprooted in their heart and they view everything philosophically -viz- they are confident that everything happens for the good. They are not the type who cry over split milk. They do not bother about the past which is gone forever and believe that today is our eternity. They may not enjoy good relationship with younger coborns. They may get the help of their neighbours during the hour of crisis

The Effect of the Third Lord in the 5th House

Since the 3rd lord is in the 5th, the native will be virtuous and chivalrous. Her/his married life turns into a paradise as both of them are ready to forget & forgive even the most vicious encounters. They yearn to be helped and appreciated. Their brothers will definitely help them in their hour of need. They are best suited to agriculture as they know when to sow and when to reap. They may not have much happiness from their children. Their neighbours also may turn hostile towards them.

Astrology & Gemology

About Astro-Gemology , Manley Hall writes in the “Secret Teachings of all Ages ” that ” The rays of the celestial bodies, striking the crystallizing influences of the lower world, become the various elements. Partaking of the astral virtues of their source, these elements neutrallize certain unbalanced forms of celestial activity & when properly combined, contribute much to the well-being of man”. This is the rationale of Planetary Gemology.

Astrology & Yoga

Union via Action ( Karma Yoga )

While acknowledging the fact the the One Universal Substance which compose the differentiated parts of the Universe is all this , one should indulge in selfless service and love for Him. Man has two duties - Duty unto Caesar means we have to do our wordly duties & Duty unto Self or God means we have to do selfless service to our brethren so that we fulfill the divine humanity in ourselves.

There is a poetic verse which says that trees exist for altruism, that rivers exist for altruism, that cows exist for altruism and hence this body is for Altruism or selfless service. The basis of all service is Love. When we love, we serve. Service is divine and service is one of the means to exhaust one’s own Karma . Karma is defined as action and all actions have reactions. The Grand Law of Causation, the Law of Cause and Effect, the Law of Retribution is called philosophically as the Law of Karma. So we as composite creatures have done both good and evil and good & evil karmas haunt us. But in order to attain to Self-Actualisation, we should exhaust our karma. As far as karma is concerned there will be backlog and it will be difficult to exhaust karma all of a sudden. But absolute surrender to the Divine is the only remedy and while we tread the Path Celestial, all karmas get burnt up.

In Silence, we have to climb from our own earths to our own heavens, rendering to the Caesar of the outer world the things which are lawfully his, and at the same time fulfilling the Law of Wisdom which will set us up and distinguish us from the ranks of other men. it is true that many adversities and opposition we may have to confront. But these are merely parts of the process and tests of fidelity.

Some people on this Path Eternal complain that they and their friends also are visited by misfortune. But we have to understand that they are wages and Initiation is a process of intensive culture and accelerated evolution. It is our Karma exhausting itself.

We have to understand that the Divine Will is leading us, through every circumstance, towards the Final Realisation. This faith will give us equanimity.

Astrology & Quantum ( Holistic ) Medicine

In his essay ” Self Healing “, Dr Naras Bhat writes that ” everything in life has opposites - Yin-Yang. There are two types of yin-yang imbalances

- Stress arousal & the Ultradian Healing Response.

Stress arousal increases the adrenaline and cortisol levels which suppress the immune system. Stress is misplaced effort and takes away the energy needed for healing.

The other imbalance is the Ultradian Healing Response. Every 90-120 minutes, our body-mind goes through a period of daydream or slowing called the “Ultradian Healing Response”. If we artificially keep perked up with coffee, ciagarettes or workaholism, we are neglecting our healing cycle. Meditation, daydreaming, healthy snacks or single quiet time allows us to take advantage of this healing cycle.Physical exercise is the yang side of rest.

Astrology, Prakriti Therapy ( Naturopathy ) & Holistic Medicine

In the Holistic Model, the cause of any disease is understood in terms of

the whole person and not in terms of a particular organ or tissue. As Sir

William Osler put it, it is more import to know the patient who has the

disease than the disease of the patient. The one person who knows about the

patient more than anybody else is the patient himself. Peter and Elizabeth

Allbright in Body Mind & Spirit state that ” responsibility for healthcare

rests in the patient’s hands because that is where the knowledge & control

of the variables lie ( diet,stress,exercise,genetics,emotion,medication) “.

” Food is medicine; Medicine is food ” said Hippocrates and Upanishads

declare that ” Food is Brahman. Food was verily born before all creatures:

therefore it is called the medicine for all”. By stating that food is the

panacea for all ills and illnesses the Upanishads have formulated one

of the foundational principles of holistic health. At least half the

diseases & ailments of man can be traced directly or indirectly to the

problems of food. Diet control is the basic principle of Naturopathy. Nature

is the Doctor and natural foods can cure ailments. Nature & Naturopathy

are ruled by Jupiter, the planet of Wisdom. In India Jyotish, Ayurveda,

Prakriti Therapy are all interrelated disciplines and part of esoterica.

Astrology can bring tranquillity to the patient by showing him how the

cohesive forces of Destiny operate. The patient can achieve what

Keats called the Negative Capability - a stoic indifference to pleasure

and pain.

To bear all ***** truths,

That envisage Circumstance, all calm

That is the top of sovereignty.

By accepting the divine decrees of Fate the patient can feel the inner

calmness and achieve an altered state ( EEG brain waves at 8.5 cycles

per second - alpha state ). In this altered state natural healing chemicals

called endorphins are secreted into the blood system and healing takes

place naturally.

Astrology , Yoga & Pranic Healing

Yoga was defined by Aurobindo as a methodic process towards

self-perfection through a development of the latent potential at the

five levels of Being - physical, vital, mental, intellectual & spiritual.

Astrology by studying the heavenly archetype can show how this

latent potential of the human being can be unfolded. Jupiter &

Mercury rules over intellectual development, Moon mental,

Mars physical, Venus vital & Saturn spiritual.

The basic principle of Pranic Healing is healing through the

Universal Life-Force Energy known as the Cosmic Prana.

Knowledge of the psychosomatic machine,regulation of food,

sleep & exercise making the physical sheath healthy & removing

all mental blocks and opening all channels to the Cosmic Prana

are some of the major seven steps in Pranic Therapy.

The Seven Stages of Pranic Healing

1. Knowledge of the Psychosomatic Machine

2. Regulation of Sleep, food & Exercise

3. Relaxation

4. Attunement to Biorythms ( Circadian Rhythms, Solar & Lunar Rhythms )

5. Removing mental blocks ( Difficult due to Repression )

6. Overcoming Prajnaparadha ( Fault of Awareness due to misuse of our

cognitive & conative functions)

7. Opening the system to the Cosmic Prana ( Opening all channels to the

Divine Shakti )

Astrology can give knowledge of the psychophysical mechanism as the 12

limbs of the human body corresponds to the 12 Signs of the Zodiac

Here is the correspondence between the 12 limbs of the human body and the

12 signs of the Zodiac

Ist House Head

2nd House Face

5th House Place beneath the heart

6th House Stomach

7th House Genitals

8th House Upper thigh

9th House Lower thigh

10th House Knee

12th House Feet

By knowing the horoscope, the aetiology of the disease can be known

and the disease can be treated ( by Holistic Medicine ) so that the body

is disease free and fit to become an instrument of Absolute Truth.

Vedic Astrology Lesson 39

Mathematical Astrology Part II

Astrology, cognised by the Seers in altered states of Consciousness, became a boon to humanity with the result its believers number more than 1 billion. Like a Lamp Divine which shineth in the darkness illuminating all effects & all causes, Astrology remains as one of the noblest professions & one of the greatest sciences which the human intellect has built up ! Related to Astronomy & Mathematics, Mathematical Astrology is as important as Predictive Astrology, as without its mathematical base, prognostication is not just possible.

Strength based on Even & Odd Signs ( Ojayugmarasyamsa Bala )

Strength acquired by the tenancy of Even & Odd Zodiacal Signs in both Rasi ( D1 ) & Amsa ( D9 ) is called as Ojayugmarasyamsa Bala. Certain planets acquire strength in Odd Signs while others gets strengthened in Even Signs. Certain mathematical values are assigned to planets who become powerful in Odd or Even Signs.

The values given are in 1/60 Units called Shashtiamsas. Luna ( Moon ) & Dione ( Venus ) in even Signs in both D1 ( Rasi ) or D9 ( Amsa ) attain a strength of 15 Shashtiamsas. On the contrary, in odd Signs Sol ( Sun) , the Fiery Planet ( Mars) , Jove ( Jupiter ) , Woten ( Mercury) & Chronos ( Saturn ) get a strength of a similar value ( in both Rasi & Amsa ).

The Moon in an Even Rasi & an Even Navamsa acquires a strength of 15 + 15 = 30 Shashtiamsas.

Hence we call this as Ojayugmarasyamsa Bala.

Quadrants or Angles ( Kendras )

1,4,7 & 10 Houses are called angles as they form a Rectangle. Angular lords means the lords of these houses. Angular Jupiter means Jove in these houses.

Opinions differ as to what Angles are. Some scholars take this as 1,4,7 & 10 Rasis while others take them to be the 1,4,7 & 10 Houses or Bhavas. ( Some follow the Rasi Theory & others the Bhava Theory ). Parasara follows the Rasi Theory while Balabhadra, the author of Horarathna ( The Jewel of Time ) favours the Bhava Theory. We here intend to follow the Parasarian view.

Kendras 1,4,7 & 10 Signs

Panaparas 2nd, 5th, 8th & 11th Signs

Apoklimas 3, 6,9 & 12th Signs

Panaparas These are the signs next to Angles. They are the 2nd, 5th, 8th & 11th.

Apoklimas These are the next signs to Panaparas. They are the 3, 6,9 and 12th

Angular Strength ( Kendra Bala )

Angular Strength is the strength acquired by planets in an angle which is 60 Shashtiamsas; whereas they get 30 in a Panapara & 15 in an Apoklima. This must be considered only in the D1 or the Rasi Chart.

Decanate Strength

Planets are divided into Masculine, Feminine & Hermaphrodite ones.

Masculine Planets Sun, Jupiter & Mars

Hermaphrodite Planets Saturn & Mercury

Female Planets Moon & Venus

A male planet in the first Drekkana = 15 Shashtiamsas

A Hermaphrodite planet in the middle Drekkana = 15 Shashtiamsas

& a Feminine planet in the last Drekkana = 15 Shashtiamsas

Total Positional Strength ( Sthana Bala )

The sum of all the five subdivisions worked above added together will give the Total Positional Strength of planets.

Positional Strength = Exaltation Strength + Sevenfold Division Strength + Odd & Even Strength + Angular Strength + Decanate Strength

In Sanskrit

Sthana Bala = Oocha Bala + Saptavargaja Bala + Ojayugmarasyamsa Bala + Kendra Bala + Drekkana Bala

Directional Strength ( Dig Bala )

Planets in certain directions become powerful and this is called Dig Bala or Directional strength.

Dik or Direction

Ascendant First House East

Descendant Seventh House West

Zenith Tenth House South

Nadir Fourth House North

Planets & Direction ( Dik )

Numerical values are assigned to planets in certain directions. For instance Jupiter & Mercury become powerful when they are in the Ascendant ( East ). Sun & Mars are powerful on the Upper Meridien or Zenith ( Tenth ). Saturn is powerful in the West ( Seventh ) & Moon & Venus become potent on the Nadir ( Fourth ). They will have complete Directional strength or Digbala ( 60 Shashtiamsas ) in these directions.

Directional Arc - ( Digbala Arc )

On the contrary, there are certain powerless points which when tenanted by planets are Zero Directional strength or Digbala. Sun gets full Directional Strength of 60 Shashtiamsas when in the South or Tenth. But his Digbala is Zero when he is 180 degrees away from that point, viz North. In other words. the Arc of the Ecliptic between the longitude of a planet and its powerless point, is known as the Digbala Arc.

So there are powerful & powerless points for a planet on the Zodiac & when a planet approaches its powerful point, it gains Digbala & when it reaches the powerless point it gradually loses Digbala.

According to Parasara, the father of Vedic Predictive Astrology, the longitude of the 4th house is to be deducted from the longitudes of the Sun & Mars. The longitude of the 7th House is to be subtracted from Jupiter’s & Mercury’s longitudes. The 10th House longitude is to be subtracted from the longitudes of Venus & Moon & Ascendant’s from Saturn’s. If the difference exceeds 180 degrees, subtract it from 360 degrees.

The result is Directional Arc ( Digbala Arc )

Directional Arc ( Digbala Arc ) = Planet’s longitude - its Powerless Cardinal Point.

If difference is more than 180 degrees subtract it from 360 degrees.

So we find that Mathematical Astrology is not as easy as Predictive Astrology, as many suppose !

Astrology & Astro-Gemology

Eminent Gemologist Richard Shaw Brown states in his book ” Astral

Gemstones and Talismans” that the true science of Planetary Gemology

is still practised by Asian and some Western astrologers. The ancient

system of Pancha_Amrita ( the Five Immortal Nectars ) is based on the

simple combination of the planetary gemstone, metal, herb, symbol and

number which corresonds to the planet that is to be enhanced. The invocation

of the planetary energy by means of a sound invocation and prayer is the

Sixth Amrita whereby the mind uses special sound vibrations.

Synastry or Compatibility between Couples.

Some Stars are found to be compatible and some are not.

Mars in the Seventh and Eighth for females was considered to be

Martian Affliction ( Kuja Dosha ) and if the male horoscope do not

have a Martian Affliction in the Seventh, synastry or compatibilty

was found to be zero !

In some civilizations, horoscope matching was a prerequisite for

marriage and bridegrooms/brides were selected according to

astrological matching principles. Large matrimonial databases

are found to be very useful for people looking out for partners!

Astrology & the Fourfold Yoga ( The Science of Cosmic Union )

Yoga Therapy lays prime emphasis on the Tripod of Life - Body, Mind

and Being.

Transcendental Philosophy postulates that the Ultimate Reality is hidden

behind this world of Appearance. It is hidden, hidden and hidden. How do

we unite with it ? The path is the Fourfold Yoga, the scientia ultima, or

the Ultimate Science ! By going deep within ( “Within, within and within”

said the mystic Ward ), one becomes aware of the Silence which is our Base!

I am the Silence which is more than Sound !

If therewithin thou lose thee, thou art found !

The Nameless, Shoreless Ocean which is I,

Thou canst not breathe, but in its bosom drowned !

had from http://www.astrologiavedica.com/html/yogamain.htm

Astrology & Occult Vibratory Chemistry ( Tantra )

The Ultimate Reality represented by geometrical patterns ? That is

what Tantra is all about. The Central Dot or the Bindu represent the

Regal Self and the circles, the triangles, the rectangles and the lotuses

the different Energy Centres in the body. Yantras are mystical diagrams

representing the Master Plan of Manifestation !

Astrology & Quantum ( Holistic ) Medicine

In her essay ” The Healing Center”, Eleanor Foster writes that the

Healing Center is within us. “I am a psychotherapist and I sit with

my clients and hear their pain clearly and freshly as I can, sometimes

it enters my body. Then I must breathe deeply and find my own

stillness. I want to help them, but I know that I am not the healer.

I do not believe that in the end their healing will come from anyone

outside themselves. I can only turn them towards their own Healing

Center “

Books - The rise and flow of of Eternal Wisdom

Books are the legacies which writers leave to mankind. Books represent

the collective wisdom of mankind.

Age is not a factor in writing books. Did not Chaucer and Goethe write

when they were past their prime ?

Chaucer at Woodstock with the nightingales

At sixty wrote the Canterbury Tales !

Goethe at Weimar, toiling to the last,

Completed Faust when eighty years were past !

Correspondence between Astrology, Gemology & Numerology

The celebrated Gemologist Richard S Brown ( http://www.p-g-a.org/) writes in his book “Ancient Astral Gemstones & Talismans” that the nine colours - the seven primary colours of the spectrum & infra-red and ultra-violet - correspond to the Nine revolving heavens and the Nine Primary Gems.

” The gemological texts of India explain that white light is actually composed of seven primary colours and two secondary colours blended together. The seven colors are red, orange, yellow, green, blue,indigo and violet: and the other two colors are utra-violet and infra-red. The seven primary colors become visible in the form of a rainbow whereven light is defracted through a prism or rain drops but the two secondary colors always remain invisible.

These nine colors are understood to be the cosmic matrix and the very essence of the nine planets; it is through these colors that the planets radiate their energy and influence. When the visible colored light waves are measured, infra-red exhibits the longest wave length and ultra violet the shortest. It is important to note that the wave length of colored light emanating from the nine planets is believed to match those radiating from each planet’s corresponding gemstone(s). For example, the wavelength of light emanating from the Sun is identical to that exhibited by a ruby - both are red.

Among all the elements in nature, gemstones constitute the most condensed form of concentrated color. Gems provide an inexhaustible source of cosmic color rays. ” ( Richard S Brown ” Ancient Astral Gemstones and Talismans” - http://www.agt-gems.com/ ).

A regulatory and research group, The Planetary Gemologists Association ( http://www.p-g-a.org/ ) has been formed with 106 astrological scholars and 2 certified Gemologists ( to ensure that innocent public is not duped ). Vedic scholar Pandit Vidyadhar Shukla is the Honorary President and certified Gemologist Richard S Brown is the Acting Secretary. Many fine articles grace its 2001 Journal which can be read at

Astrology, Prakriti Therapy ( Naturopathy ) & Holistic Medicine

Naturopathy exists as one of the branches of Holistic Medicine ( Ayurveda ). Holistic Medicine has 2 aspects - The Therapeutic ( Athura Vritta ) & the Prophylactic ( Swastha Vritta ). Naturopathy is the Prophylactic or the Preventive System. It is based on the principle ” Natura Sanat ” ( Nature is the Healer and Doctor). As the human body is composed of the five elements ( Earth, air, water, fire and ether ) so the Five Doctors are the Elemental Five! Fasting is the best medicine ( even diseases like ulcer can be cured by fasting ) and this is known as Ether Therapy ( Akashopasana). Sun bathing is Fire Therapy ( Tejopasana). Using Water as a therapeutic element is Water Therapy ( Jalopasana).Letting the body get fresh unpolluted air is Air Therapy ( Vayu Upasana) and eating pure fruits and vegetables is Earth Therapy ( Prithvi Upasana ) Naturopathy means returning to Nature and living in rhythm with Nature, who is infinite in her wisdom! Even Allopathic scholars have admitted ” Medicus curata, natura Sanat”( The physician only treats but it is Nature that heals )! The main cause of all disease is overeating and man is advised to eat only once in a day and fast once in a week !

The five major planets correspond to the Elemental Five thus

Jupiter

Ether

Mars Fire

Saturn

Air

Mercury Earth

Venus Water

No wonder in the Pythagorean system, the number five was given such tremendous importance!

Medical astrologers prescribe Ether Therapy if Jupiter is weak and Fire Therapy if Mars is weak etc. By means of the Great Art, health can be restored in the patient !

Astrology & Yoga.

Ordinary man lives in three states of Consciousness - waking, dreaming and dreamless sleep. There is a higher state of Consciousness - Transcendental Consciousness - which can be accessed via Meditation. In his Phd Thesis Dr Robert Keith Wallace has proved the existence of the Fourth State of Consciousness ( Dr Keith Wallace Phd Thesis ” The Physiological effects of Transcendental Meditation - a Proposed Fourth Major State of Consciousness”, the University of California and Los Angeles, 1975 ). The Fourth State ( Tureeya in Sanskrit ) is accessible to those who follow the path of Yoga. But to gain T C and get established in that state of Consciousness is not very easy. The negative elements in man - our inner enemies - are the impediments. The Wisdom of the Heavens, by analysing the negative traits in a horoscope can point out the method by which the Negative Aspect of man can be tamed so that he becomes eligible for higher states of Consciousness.

The Culmination of Yoga - Universal Love

Even though Union via Wisdom ( Jnana Yoga ) is great, Union via Love ( Bhakthi Yoga ) is the Redeeming Grace ! The salvation of the world is in Love & through Love. The heart has its own reasons which the head need not know ! Love is the Saviour! Universal Love is the Redeemer ! Love Divine alone can confer Bliss !

Tempting God’s light down to the ignorant race

His Love to heal the sorrow in men’s hearts

His Bliss to heal the unhappiness of this world!
