'The Power of Mantra' and 'Tsunami in Japan on March 11, 2011


THE POWER OF MANTRA & PRAYER:

Remedial measures are often considered a hallmark of superstition. While the practices surrounding the prescription and performance of remedial measures may be fraught with problems, like all of Jyotish, a classical approach stands to yield great dividends and relief.

Upaya are perhaps the most important part of Jyotish because merely diagnosing an issue is not enough and its redressal is infact the most important thing. Apart from this, when Jyotish is considered as a system to chart out the progress of a person through life, or through a given phase in life, remedial measures can help in this process by attempting to alleviate those factors which impede.

Prior to alleviation, a recognition of the factors that might be adverse in the horoscope is also very important because sometimes influences can impede the proper understanding of the problem or even a proper appreciation of the existence of the problem itself.

Persons may be caught up in a bubble, so to speak, identifying themselves with stubborn characteristics and/ or circumstances that might present themselves in life.

Based on certain rules in horoscopy, it can be determined as to what sort of remedial measures require to the advised and performed and what might be their chances at remedying the real-life situation.

People should choose their astrologer with care, as far as choice might influence the decision in given cases, for this is a sensitive area and people tend to be very keen to rid themselves of the problems that trouble them, and rightly so. This keenness, and need is to be addressed by one who is capable of helping with a clean heart.

When the planets (read Karma) begin to yield, it is a very positive development in life.

JAPAN: THE TSUNAMI OF MARCH 11, 2011

Japan: A weakened Prithvi Tattwa, with Mercury debilitated in Pisces and massively afflicted by the sign aspects of Saturn, Rahu and Ketu, led to the major earthquake. Saving graces will emerge due to the conjunction of Jupiter with Mercury, the lord of the latter's debility: better foreign relations, some selfless aid and help (Pisces is the 12th House of the natural zodiac).

A BRIEF LOOK AT THE TWELVE LAGNAS/ ASCENDANTS IN VEDIC ASTROLOGY

People are often curious at the beginning of their astrological quest, to know something of the various facets pertaining to their ‘chart’; in other words, they wish to evaluate the basic propensities pertaining to their Lagnas and their Rashi/ Lagna Kundalis (Kundalis). Also, the Chandra Lagna itself and Gochar furnish other popular areas of curiosity. Lagna is the sign rising on the Eastern horizon at the time of birth and is occupied by a Rāśi (Rashi)/ Vedic sign. The average duration of a sign rising in the Lagna/ Ascendant is two hours and for this reason the twelve Rāśis cover the twenty-four hours duration of the solar day. ( Basic Jyotiṣa principles can be accessed by clicking this link ) Lagna imbues a person with individuality and therefore denotes the self and the personality of the person. It is the first house or Bhāva of the chart and is the commencement point of any horoscopic study. We cannot forget that in all the divisional charts as well there is a Lagna/ asc

Vedic Astrology: The Charakaraka Replacement and Its Impact

At its deepest core Jyotiṣa is at the driving centre of all Karma. Just like life, if properly appreciated as it must, it has the status of a full-scale on-going project of immense magnitude. Karma and Soul : The Lagna and the Bhavas reckoned from the Lagna in the Rāśi Chakra indicate the physical manifestation of life. In the Varga Chakra the Lagna and the Bhāvas indicate the personality and realities of that specific environment. When we speak of Karma we inevitably speak of the soul as it is the soul which must carry and exhaust the Karma through rebirth. Charakāraka - Matters pertaining to the soul are studied and deciphered through the Charakāraka in Vedic Astrology. The Charakāraka are the temporal significators (Naisargika Kāraka) for various matters at the level of the soul and the Karma. The Charakāraka are decided on the basis of longitude of arc traversed by the planets including minutes and seconds of arc, and sometimes fractions of seconds of arc. The Eight Cha
