Muhurtha

|| Om Gurave Namah || || Om Gam Ganapataye Namah || Dear Friends, In one of the lectures of Pt. Sanjay Rath, He had mentioned about the muhurtha and nakshatra assignments. The nakshatra assignments are seemingly different from Varahamihira and Ramacharya. There seems to be some inconsistency in interpretations. Here is my attempt to understand them better. Definition: Muhurthas are time units created by moon and tides. There are two tides daily. The tides are created by the moon. The moon rising lags behind everyday by about 48 minutes from it's previous day. Since there are two tides daily each tide lags behind the other by half the period, which is 24 minutes. Thus the zodiac is cut in 24 minutes(Ghatika/naligai) and 48 minutes (muhurtha) segments by each rising of tide and moon respectively. 60 ghatikas/naligai or 30 Muhurtha's make a complete zodiac. Each muhurtha is given a name and ruler. Usage of Muhurtha: Each muhurtha is given a deity corresponding to the nakshatra deity. It's said that whatever is prescribed to done on a nakshatra can be done in the muhurtha occuring on the day. Just like whatever is prescribed for a vaara (weekday) can be done the hora occuring on the day. So this gives a opportunity within the same day rather than wait for another cycle of moon around zodiac. Calculations: The complete calculation of muhurtha is fixed around Abhijit nakshatra. The mid-day is called called Abhijit Muhurtha. So one muhurtha(48 minutes) is assigned to Abhijit Nakshatra. [Please refer the table below] Since Tide and moon risings are lagging phenomena, The nakshatra's are assigned in reverse direction from noon onwards from Abhijit nakshatra. The Just before Sunrise and SunSet one muhurtha is given for Brahma the creator (Lagna) and Shiva the emancipator. These are called as Brahma Muhurta and Pradosha respectively. Explanation: Lets assume we wakeup in the morning, The Ashwini nakshatra indicates the waking up, The Ashwini's are the children of Surya indicating the birth after sunrise. As the day progresses, We take breakfast etc and get fresh Revati Nakshatra lorded by Pushan the one who gives growth and increase. As the day progresses we go to work which is Karmabhoomi, The nakshatra's get more suitable for karma. The abhijit indicates the success in one's karma. The Vishwadeva's ( U.Ashada) is the ruler of this karmic world, This indicates what one attains after success. The Moola indicates the competition and opposition one faces to retain the world we have won.

As evening comes "Anuradha" lorded by Mitra, the winner friends, makes one seek company of friends. As evening progresses passion increases indicated by Vishaka, ruler by Indra(lord of heavens) and Agni(The fire, here of passion). The Pradosha ruled by Lord Shiva rules this junction, He can burn Kaama deva. He is worshipped in this juncture. Then comes swati nakshatra, This nakshatra indicates the happiness from a good partner. It sits in the natural zodiac. Swati rules good marriages. Then comes Chitra nakshatra ruled by Viswakarma, Chitra also indicates movies, paintings and architecture. Here one gets materials for good entertainment and living. Then the later nakshatras are ruled by Arka, Aryama, bhaga and pitri respectively. Indicates the creating strength one gets with partners at various levels. At Magha nakshatra's the pitri's are forefathers get happy due our creation of childrens. As midnight comes, The nakshatra Ashlesha, ruled by Shesha Naaga, On which Lord Vishnu sleeps comes up. Indicating the time to wind up. The Pushya Nakshtra is in natural 4th house indicates going back to mother or creation. After the first cycle of creation comes Punarvasu, Literally means "Light Again", Ruled by Aditi mother of all Aditya(Sun's) and Manu (The 1st creator). Indicates the next cycle of creation. Next again we meed Rudra Again in Ardra. Rudra was always against Brahma against imperfect creations. After Brahma succeeds, we meet Mriga ruled by Passionate moon, lord of all nakshtra's indicating passion causing another cycle of creation. Then comes Rohini ruled by Prajapati himself, Getting his chances the create the world. Krittika, Ruled by Agni is first requirement the create in Homa. The Veda (Held Brahma) begins with first mantra for Agni. Next comes Bharani, whose Symbol is Yoni In Similar lines one can understand all the nakshatras.

Divisional Understanding

Divisional Understanding. Sanjay Prabhakaran: Clip from future article in Jyotish Digest. raajye niichaH ra=2, ya = 1 , 12 Navamsa lagna in 12th from the Rashi lagna, The person is vile or morally low. dharme mokshaH dha = 9 ma = 5, 59 -> 11 Navamsa lagna in 11th from Rashi lagna the person works towards moksha. dhaanye paapi dha = 9, ya 1, 19 -> 7 Navamsa lagna in 7th from Raashi lagna the person gathers much sin. dhane kaami dha = 9 , ne = 0 , 9 The navamsa lagna in 9th from the raashi lagna the person is very passionate. These four sutras can be taken as cues to understand the divisional to Raashi comparison.

Pt. Sanjay Rath explains these shlokas in his commentary of Jaimini Sutram. The principle being that the navamsa lagna is akin to the temporary 9th house, Since this chart is like activities the person faces in the field of dharma. If we take the lagna in navamsa to be temporary 9th house then the lagna would be in 5th house. Hence the 5th house in navamsa would indicate where the intellect (lagna lord) of the person would be working. Now in any chart the strongest Kendra is the 10th house. This shows the success and karma of the chart. The 10th from 5th is 2nd, Hence the 2nd house is what the individual endeavors to succeed in the Navamsa chart. As another example in D2 chart the D2-Lagna will be like 2nd house. Hence, the temporary lagna would be in 12th house, The Karma would be 10th from 12th which is 9th house. Lets try to understand the meaning of this temporary lagna and Karma in Navamsa divisional, 5th house is temporary lagna Means-> Intellect works towards Children (the basis of marriage), Intelligence, The 5th house in navamsa greatly influences the person's intelligence. 2nd House, What the person wants to succeed in the divisional-> In D9 the person tried to succeed in Family. The prime focus of marriage (D9) is to establish family. Malefic in 2nd divisional may damage the person's family. Let me put this in tabular form, Divisional Temporary Meaning of Lagna temporary lagna indicating prime intellectual focus. th D95 house Children and Dharma & intelligence marriage D2-Wealth 12th House Losses D3Siblings or Parakram a 11th house Main karma or success Meaning of divisional karma or what the person whishes to succeed in. Family and savings. Works towards fortune 8th house focuses more on weakness.

2nd house 9th house

Focuses on 8th house income, since in D3 chart it would be physical income. Hence increase in

D4-Fixed 10 house properties

th

D7Children

7th house lagna

strength Focuses on 7th house ruling ,by getting more land and property since it's D4) Shows that 4th house the person is seeking partners

Indicates that the person works towards enjoyments. 4th house is paataala, It's told in purana's that children prevent one falling in hell and uplifts the pitris to heaven by tarpana. Hence the karma is towards removal from paataala. Putra pu+tra =putra. Where pu refers to a type of hell Power, position and self well being. The person wants to get the maximum to self in form of power and position (lagna)

D10Karma

4th house

D12Parents

2nd house

Home and 1st house happiness. (lagna) Nature of the individual is to get more fruits by less karma. The intellect in this divisional always focuses on sitting at home Family, The 11th house focus of this divisional chart is family. As it was created by your parents. The person's

8th house

Speech or 11th expression of knowledge. The person focuses on expressing his knowledge or implementing what one learns. The 4th is taken a prime house for learning, 11th is digestion of learning and 2nd is expression or using the knowledge. In this 5th house divisional the person is always thinking about the weakness

Kaama, The person tries to get as much desire fulfilled as possible. Upadesa, 3rd house is upadesa. The person tries to seek blessings and good words from gurus to remove the sins. Gains or digestion of knowledge. The person's implementatio n of knowledge very much depends on how much he has digested the knowledge.

The person tries to get a good intelligence, The success in this chart depends on

: Graha Avastha

Dear Friends, I had been thinking about Graha Avastha's and wanted share them with you. Here are some of my thoughts. The state of a graha indicates nature of fructification of karma. The grahas results are felt during their dasas. The grahas avastha or state indicates many things, 1) How soon the graha will give the indicated results. 2) The guna or nature of the graha while giving the results. 3) The good fortune indicated by the graham 4) The weaknesses of the graha. 5) The activity interested by the graha. Maharishi Paraashara has indicated five types of avathas (ref: Ch 45:BPHS). They are 1. Baalaadi Avastha : 5 types based on five parts of odd or even sign. 2. Jagrutaadi Avastha : 3 types depending on its grahas Natural relationship to dispositor (friend, neutral or enemy) 3. Deeptaadi Avastha : 9 types based on grahas Chart specific relationship to dispositor. 4. Lajjitaadi Avastha : 6 types based on conjunctions with malefics etc. 5. Shayanaadhi Avastha : 12 types of activities calculated by Nakshatre * Graha * Navamsha + JanmaNax + Ghatika + Lagna 1) Baalaadi Avastha kramAd.h bAlaH kumAro.atha yuvA vR^iddhastathA mR^itaH BPHS 45.3 They are of five types namely, 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. Baala : Child Kumaara : Teen Yuva : Youth /Adult Vriddha : Oldage Mrita : Late

The sign is divided in 5 parts and they rule each part in sequence for odd signs and results are reverse for even signs. These indicates when the graha will give the results. The baala avatha graha will give results too early and mrita avastha graha can give results too late during the dasa.

2) Jaagrutaadi Avastha Natural relationship of graha determines this avastha. A graha can be in a friendly house or neutral or enemies house. There are three types of relationships and hence there are three types of this avastha, jAgratsvapnasushhuptyAkhyA avasthA nAmadR^ik.hphalAH 5 1. Jaagrut / Awake 2. Swapna / Dreaming 3. Sushupta / Sleeping These indicate three states of nature like Satwic (Fully conscience), Rajasic or passionate (Partially conscious of deeds) or sushupta (deep sleep, not conscious of what its doing).

3) Deeptaadi Avastha This is based on the individual relationships of graha for a particular chart. i.e temporal relationships. Based on position of grahas in the chart. Due to specific positioning the chart may get better results. These of nine types indicating the bhaagya, dIptaH svasthaH pramuditaH shAnto dIno.atha duHkhitaH vikalashcha khalaH ko.apItyavasthA navadhA.aparAH 45.7 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Deepta Swastha Pramudita Shaanta Deena Vikala Dukhita Khal Kop

This avastha indicates the goodness or bhaagya got from the graham. 1-4 is good, 5 is middling and 6-9 indicates lesser amounts of fortune in sequence.

This avastha will indicate the resources available of a graha to do its task.

4) Lajjitaadi Avastha A graha has weaknesses and enemies these are of shad ripu (the six enemies). These are indicated by variously as, lajjito garvitashchaiva xudhitastR^ishhitastathA muditaH xobhitashchaiva grahabhAvAH prakIrtitAH 11 1. Lajjit : Embarrased putragehagataH kheTo rAhuketuyuto.athavA ravimandakujairyukto lajjito graha uchyate 12 Placed in Putr Bhava, if a Grah is associated with Rahu, or Ketu, or with Srya, ani, or Magal, it is in Lajjit Avastha 2. Garvit : Haughty tuN^gasthAnagato vA.api trikoNe.api bhavetpunaH garvitaH so.api gadito nirvishaMkaM dvijottama 13 If a Grah is in exaltation, or in Mooltrikon, it is Garvit (Aspected by malefics) 3. Kshudhit : Hungered shatrugehI shatruyukto ripudR^ishhTo bhavedyadi xudhitaH sa cha viGYeyaH shaniyukto yathA tathA 14 If a Grah is in an enemys Ri, or yuti with an enemy, or receives a Drishti from an enemy, or even, if a Grah is yuti with ani, the Avastha is Kshudhit 4. Trushit : Thirsty jalarAshau sthitaH kheTaH shatruNA chA.avalokitaH shubhagrahA na pashyanti tR^ishhitaH sa udAhR^itaH 15 If a Grah is in a watery Ri and receives a Drishti from a malefic, but

does not receive a Drishti from a benefic, the Avastha is called Trushit 5. Mudit : Complacent mitragehI mitrayukto mitreNa cha vilokitaH guruNA sahito yashcha muditaH sa prakIrtitaH 16 If a Grah is in a friendly Ri, or is yuti with, or receives a Drishti from a benefic, or is yuti with Guru, it is said to be in Mudit Avastha. (And it becomes complacent it it's aspected by Saturn) 6. Kshobhit : Trembling (Out of fear of authority) raviNA sahito yashcha pApA pashyanti sarvathA xobhitaM taM vijAnIyAchchhatruNA yadi vIxitaH 17 If a Grah is yuti with Srya and receives a Drishti from, or is yuti with a malefic, or receives a Drishti from an enemy, it is said to be in Kshobhit yeshhu yeshhu cha bhAveshhu grahAstishhThanti sarvathA xudhitaH xobhito vApi tad.hbhAvaphalanAshanaH 18 The xuditah (Hungered) and xobhita (frightened) are the worst of these avasthas. 5) Shaayanaadi Avastha There are 12 forms of activities indicated by the twelve bhaavas, This is found using the formula Nakshatra * Graha * Navamsha + JanmaNax + Ghatika + Lagna Nakshatra : is the nakshatra number where graha is sitting Graha: is indicated by the graha number sun =1sat=7, rahu=8 and ketu = 9 Navamsha: the navamsha number of the graha in given rashi, eg if in 0 to3.33 deg then 1 Janma Nax: Moon nakshatra Ghatika: the ghatika number counted from sunrise Lagna : Lagna number 1=aries etc 1. Shayan 2. Upavesan 3. Netrapani 4. Prakash 5. Gaman 6. Agaman 7. Sabha 8. Agam 9. Bhojan 10.Nritya Lipsa 11.Kautuk

12.Nidr The details of calculating this can be read from the Narasimhajis article. A copy which is in http://www.scribd.com/doc/259989/7-avastha Warm Regards Sanjay P NOTE: A detailed article will follow in Jyotish Digest.

Kala Sarpa & Kala Amrita Yoga

Article on Kala Sarpa & Kala Amrita Yoga of Pt. Sanjay Rath: I do not have the reference at present for the Stanza "Agre Rahu adhou Ketu Sarva madhye Graha..." for Kala Sarpa Yoga (KSY) and the reverse i.e. "Agre Ketu adhou Rahu .." for Kala Amrita Yoga (KAY). There were other details about the famines and destruction brought about by the KSY in mundane matters. This was extended to natal charts. The moot point is that the nodes (Rahu & Ketu) represent the two extremities of life like the infra-red rays (Ketu) and the Ultra-violet rays (Rahu) being the two extremeties of the visible spectrum of seven colors (VIBGYOR - the remaining seven planets from Sun to Saturn). Like the Infra-red & Ultra-violet rays are not part of the visible spectrum, yet they can be good (Infra-red can cure many bone related/muscle related diseases) or bad (UV is very dangerous and depletes the ozone layer like Rahu cutting out our breathing system and causing strangulation, asthama etc) so also the nodes Ketu & Rahu are not visible, yet they can influence human life. These two extremities of Human life are the Saint who renounces all attachment to worldly material existence in search for emancipation from sorrow/re-birth symbolised by Moksha karaka Ketu ruling the Tejas (fire) of tapasya or the dreaded Criminals who will go to any extent to enjoy the material enjoyments of this world like the Bhogi - Rahu. These nodes are always opposite to each other symbolising the opposite poles of life direction. Every human being is stationed between these two extremeties at any point of time in his life. Coming to the question of determining the existence of KSY or KAY, the first thing is to IGNORE the ascendant (Lagna). Place your finger on the sign occupied by Ketu and move it zodiacally along the signs till the sign occupied by Rahu. Were all the other seven planets placed within these signs from Ketu to Rahu? If yes, then Kala Sarpa Yoga exists. Similarly, place your finger on the sign occupied by Rahu and move it zodiacally along the signs till the sign occupied by Ketu. Were all the other seven

planets placed within these signs from Rahu to Ketu? If yes, then Kala Amrita Yoga exists. If KSY exists then there is an inherent tendency to enjoy and to grab material comforts for oneself. This can take an extreme form like criminal tendencies like stealing etc. If KAY exists, then the tendency is to give up everything. In any case such people tend to be extreme in their decisions and naturally, there will be physical (Rahu) and mental (Ketu) suffering just like Rahu and Ketu eclipsing the Sun and Moon respectively. In both cases, this is considered a bondage due to Karma of the last birth and will relieve the person or manifest at a certain specific age depending on the chart. One method of determing this is to use the natural years of the planets (refer to Crux of Vedic astrology by this scribe) where that for Rahu is 45 and for Ketu is 43. The next natural question is to determine the planets that can break this KSY or KAY related suffering. We know that natural malefics in Kendra (Quadrants) generate Sarpa Yoga. Thus, natural malefic planets (Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu & Ketu - Sun has been included as a Krura and not as a Dushta) only enhace the suffering and potential problems associated with the KSY or KAY while natural Benefic planets (Moon, Jupiter, Mercury & Venus) can annul the suffering and generate greatness or Maha Yoga. Next comes the placement of these planets to annul the KSY/KAY and generate the Maha Yoga. If in a chart otherwise having KSY/KAY, these benefic planet(s) are placed with either of Rahu (Bhoga) or Ketu (Moksha) then the suffering ends and he attains greatness. Now coming to houses, the placement of these planets in the first or seventh house (Satya Peetha) also generates this great yoga. The results of KSY/KAY are altered as per the houses they start from and end at. Details are beyond the scope of this letter. A traditional Vedic Astrologer should not end without a small note on remedies. "Kaloh Chandi Vinayako" is the Vedic remedy for this KSY (Chandi) or KAY (Vinayaka - Ganapati) respectively. When the benefic planets conjoin the nodes, the deities are Parvati/Gouri (Moon), Sambasiva (Jupiter), Vishnu (Mercury) and Lakshmi (Venus) respectively. When natural benefics are in the first house, then the deity is a form of Vishnu while in the seventh house a form of Shiva. In this manner the intelligent astrologer can recommend the correct remedy.

Retrogression Analysis
|| Om Gurave Namah ||

Dear Guruji and Jyotishas, I tried to see how often does a graha get retrograde. I tried an everyday position for 60 years (21914 days) period. Here is a summary. You can note that Venus is lowest, with only 7.3% times being retrograde and Saturn is retrograde most often times at 36.36% times. The order is of how often a graha gets retrograde is not in any particular order in when seen as a whole. But, The outer planets are increasing order and inner are in decreasing order.

Warm Regards Sanjay P NOTE: If any one is interested to verify the data, It can be provided on reques or the method to generate it. Graha Retrograde Days Total Days Percentage Venus Mars 1600 21914 7.301269 2081 21914 9.496212 Mercury Jupiter 6641 21914 30.30483 Saturn 7971 21914 36.37401

4188 21914 19.11107

The following command was executed using the swiss ephemeris command line test program swete32.exe -b1.1.2007 -n21914 -p2 -g, -fPYls >Mercury_Speeds.CSV The above was redirected to a CSV file. The -p2 was done for values from 2 to 6 i.e Merc to Saturn.

Namaste friends,

Phases of good and bad predictions

I mentioned a while ago that an astrologer may experience phases of good and bad predictions. D-27 (nakshatramsa) is the chart of strengths and weaknesses as per Parasara. I said that the 2nd and 5th in D-27 show vaag bala (power of speech) and intuition. I said that we can treat the dasa rasi as per D-27 Narayana dasa as lagna and do this analysis for various periods in one's life. I will give an example - myself. Because the principles we use have some truth in it, we have successes even in the worst dasas. Because the principles we use help only to some extent and a guess has to be made finally, our successes depend on our luck also. And our luck depends on our dasas. So we don't have the same amount of successes always. *** Birthdata: April 4, 1970, 5:50 pm (IST), 81e12, 16n15. My D-27: Ar - Mars; Ta - Saturn; Ge - Mercury & Jupiter; Cn - Sun & Ketu; Le - Lagna; Sc Moon & Venus; Cp - Rahu. (Lagna in rasi chart: Vi.)

Event data: (1) 1998-99: I did not make many public predictions. I made just one prediction in print and it was a disaster. I predicted very very confidently that Clinton would be impeached. I was wrong. I was confident, but wrong this year. (2) 1999: I wasn't feeling confident like last year, but I made some predictions in a magazine. Not all were right, but some were very correct. I wrote in print that India might have an unpleasant confrontation after May 18 (air strikes on Pakistani infiltrators were from May 25), that India would take a bold stand ("no talks until infiltrators leave") and that the world would support India's bold stand (even US did!). I also wrote that Russia would get into trouble after the eclipse and that Russia might get involved in an armed conflict. Let us see how this fits with my D-27 Narayana dasa. *** If you have trouble with calculations, please refer to the archives for Narayana dasa lessons. Because 27 modulo 12 is 3, look at the 3rd lord in my rasi chart. It is Mars. Mars is in Ar in D-27. Ar is stronger than Li. So start dasas from Ar. Ar dasa is 1970-1982. Ta dasa is 1982-1998 (Venus is in Sc). Ge dasa is 1988-2000. Antardasas in Ge dasa go as Ge, Cn, Le, Vi etc. I ran Ar antardasa during Apr 1998-Apr 1999. I ran Ta antardasa during Apr 1999Apr 2000. Let us analyze both now. In each antardasa, take the antardasa sign as lagna and analyze the chart. *** (1) Ar antardasa: The 2nd from Ar is occupied in natal D-27 by Saturn. This is not good for vaag bala. Saturn in 2nd weakens vaag bala (power of speech). The 5th house from Ar shows the power of intuition in Ar dasa. The 5th from Ar is Leo. It is empty and it is aspected by Mars and Rahu. Neither Mars nor Rahu promises good intuition. Rahu in fact misleads. However, arudha of Venus is in Leo! Watery benefic Venus gives smooth intuition in 5th. Arudha of Venus in 5th doesn't do that in reality, but the native will feel that way. So I was very comfortable with my intuition then and felt it was working smoothly. (2) Ta antardasa: The 2nd from Ta is Gemini. Mercury and Jupiter occupy it!! So Ta antardasa can be reasonably good for me even in a bad mahadasa. Mercury and Jupiter in 2nd suggest good vaag bala. The 5th house from there is Virgo. It has no planets and the same duo aspects it ffrom Ge. Ethery Jupiter gives good intuition, while earthy Mercury gives clarity and focus.

However, arudhas of Sun, Saturn and Jupiter occupy Virgo. Sun and Saturn in 5th is not good. Saturn in 5th gives hesitating and lazy intuition. But Jupiter there gives good intuition after some Saturnine hesitation. So I feel less confident when making predictions in print this year. Despite some creditable successes this year, I don't feel too confident when I look at charts this year. *** I hope some ideas presented here will provoke thoughts. Points to consider: (1) Astrologer's chart also matters, especially when the principles used are weak. (2) Nakshatramsa is important for that. D-24 shows knowledge, but it is D-27 that shows whether one's intuition is powerful and whether one's vaak (speech) is powerful. (3) Narayana dasa is an excellent phalita dasa and Narayana dasa of D-27 can be used to time phases of good and bad predictions. (4) An astrologer may feel diffident, but make good predictions. He may feel confident and make stupid predictions. How one feels is an illusion and that illusion can be different from the reality. Arudha padas of planets help in understanding the native's illusions/perceptions. And, arudha lagna helps in understanding the illusions/perceptions of the world about the native. *** As Satish pointed out, today's astrologers mix up many techniques because their precise uses are lost to us. We have to understand the precise uses of varous tools, before astrology is accepted as a valid subject. We have a herculean task in front of us. If we keep faith in Parasara and strive to understand him correctly, I am confident that we will have an astrology department in many universities oneday. May Jupiter's light shine on us, Narasimha 12-09-1999
