Nakshatra- Nakshatram

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !
ॐ नमः शिवाय!

Nakshatra, नक्षत्र,

The 360 degree zodiac circle is divided in to 27 constellations or Nakshatra or Nakshatram, Sanskrit: नक्षत्र, each covering 13.33 degree, following are the names of the Nakshatras, and please do not try to make some sense out of the figures, like two fish for Pisces, or two boys for Gemini, :-) they directly mean nothing, they are used as a metaphors and the constellations which fall in the degrees do not  look like they are drawn on the zodiac signs, :-) and while learning Astrology don't be an Astronomer, :-) because each constellations is made up of many stars, which might be many light years away from each other and the only reference point to look at them is your date, time and place of birth, the ascendant is the Zodiac sign rising on the horizon at the time of birth, seen from the place of birth, so If the reference point changes then everything will change.

Pada: Legs of the Nakshatra, each Nakshatra has four legs, and first leg is considered superior, e.g. If a Man and Women has same Nakshatra, that Man can marry that women only If his Nakshatra pada is 1st and hers is 2nd, 3rd or 4th pada.

The Nakshatra relationships to the native: Put your birth Nakshatra (Moon) as the first Nakshatra in the following chart and then arrange rest of the 26 Nakshatra in order and then see which planet is same as Birth Nakshatra, which one is good, which one is good friend, or bad, or will cause danger, for e.g. I have taken Ashvini as the Birth Nakshatra, so from there rest of the Nakshatra fall in following categories, and this chart is very important to see If a particular day is good for your investments, travel, or to start anything new, just see where that days Nakshatra falls,

e.g. Today i.e. 08 June 2016, wednesday, Montreal, the Nakshatra is Pushyami till 10:00 PM, then for a native with Ashvini as birth Nakshatra, Pushyami is a friendly Nakshatra so today is a good day for such a native in a very general way, it gets further complicated because things change based on many other things then one need to check every hour and minute if it is favourable or not, I think it is little too much and too narrow one can't live like that. :-)) but some people do live like that. :-)

   Janma      (Birth Nakshatra)        Ashvini                        Magha                     Moola                      
   Sampatha ( Wealth)                     Bharani                       Purva Phalguni       Purva Ashadha       
   Vipatha     ( Danger )                   Krittika                       Uttara Phalguni      Uttara Ashadha  
   Kshema     ( Well Being )             Rohini                         Hasta                       Shravan      
   Pratyaka   ( Obstacles)                Mrigashira                  Chitra                      Dhanista    
   Sadhana     (Achievement)            Ardra                          Swati                       Satabhisha  
   Naidhana   ( Death )                    Punarvasu                   Vishakha                 Purva Bhadrapada  
   Mitra          ( Friend )                  Pushyami                     Anuradha                 Uttara Bhadrapada
   Para Mitra  (Fast Friend)           Ashlesha                      Jyestha                     Revati

Then there is this Mangal Patha Mantra which goes like this:

Tadev Lagnam Sudinam Tadev, Tara Balam Chandra balam Tadev

Vidya Balam, Daiva Balam Tadev, Lakshmipateramghri yugam smarami!  

Which means:

That time becomes Auspicious, That day becomes Auspicious, That Star strength, that Moon Strength becomes Auspicious, That Strength of education, That Strength of gods becomes Auspicious, when you remember Laxmi's (the goddess of wealth) consorts name.

Another point to remember is Transit of planets effects very few, not all because most people are bound by the druda karma (Unchangeable karma), so planets are like a calender for them, the  Transit chart would not change anything in their life, the birth chart will hold all the keys, yes it is not as simple as Astronomy, it is complicated.

Moola is a Male Dog Yoni, Most compatible with Ardra which is a female dog yoni, and are not at all compatible with Deer Yoni, which are Jyestha Male Deer and Anuradha female deer yoni,

Aslesha is a Male Cat Yoni, Most compatible with Punarvasu which is female Cat Yoni, and not at all compatible with Rat Yoni, which are Magha male Rat and Purva Phalguni female Rat Yoni,

Most Compatible is given a score of 4 and Most non compatible is given a score of 0, Middle levels are 3, 2, and 1,

Yoni Matching, actually this is not complete, there needs to be another set of separate columns for Male and Female compatibility, e.g. Two Natives Male and Female can be from Dhanishta Nakshatra that makes them Female Lions, now two female lions are also not sexually compatible, so the score will be zero, :-) this combination also needs to be seen, same way Ashvini Nakshatra Male is a Male Horse and Ashvini Nakshtra female is also a Male Horse, then two Male Horse are also not compatible, they will end up fighting for dominance. :-)) again very important to note is a male native who is a female deer, e.g. Anurdha Nakshatra is female deer, which does not mean thenative will not have interest in sex or mating, it would mean he will lack initiative like a female deer. :-)) and If husband and wife both are female deers, then one expect what happens in their bedroom, both will expect other to initiate. :-)) that is why knowledge is very important, or If Male native with Nakshatra is Anuradha but there is Mars in his first house, 7th house, or 10th house or Mars i exalted in Capricorn he will not have any problem with Initiative, then let us add another dimension to this, Anurdha Nakshtra, Mars in 10th house, but Jupiter in First house, then the native will be like a priest with lot of energy but with a female deer mentality, add Moon to the First house, Honesty, Gentle, Truthfull, sensitive, male with lot of energy when it comes to authority, and delegation of duties but very soft towards mating, it does not stop here, keep adding more dimensions, like Saturn in Dhanistha nakshatram in First house, it adds impotency to already bleak situation, or or dhristi of such a Saturn on 1st house.

Epilepsy or Seizure disorders and Vedic Astrology

ॐ श्री गुरावे नमः !

ॐ नमः शिवाय!

Epilepsy (Seizure disorders) : Epilepsy is a neurological disorder and the source of Epilepsy is the brain, and Epilepsy is considered a chronic disorder and the main symptoms being recurrent unprovoked seizures.

It is estimated that close to 50 million people all over the world suffer from some form or type of Epilepsy and there is no cure in Allopathy (English medicine) but with medication the symptoms can be controlled.

Brain is all electrical, so it appears when ever there is a traffic jam of electrical signals in certain neurons, the brain triggers a sudden high electrical jerk causing all muscles and body to go into seizures, the purpose might be to clear of the electrical traffic jam.

It is estimated that young children suffer from this problem but over certain period of time they are free from it, and even old people are vulnerable to this problem.

Astrology and Epilepsy:  The important elements in a chart.

1) Lagna, Ascendant, and Lagna lord's position,
2) Moon, its position and its status as Moon controls mind,
3) Jupiter, Planet of knowledge,
4) Saturn, Planet which can cause severe sickness,
5) Mercury, Planet responsible for communication and speech,
6) Mars, Planet responsible for anger,
7) Rahu, Is a shadow planet and it enhances the effects of the planets present with it or effects of the lord of the bhava or house it is present with,
8) Ketu, Is a shadow planet and it reduces the effects of the planets present with it or effects of the lord of the bhava or house it is present with.
9) Virgo is a very vulnerable house for sickness, and lord of Virgo is Mercury so it might effect communication and speech etc.
10) Tanu Bhava or 1st house as it represents all physical and mental.
11) 2nd house is responsible for Vak Shakti, Speech, Face, Tongue, Right Eye,
12) Planets in certain Nakshatra, Like Saturn in Hasta Nakshatra
13 6th, 8th and 12th houses, the dusthanas afflicted or with papa or krura graha Mars, Saturn,
14) Dasha and Antara dasha dosha,
15) Bhadhakas and Marana karaka Sthana of Planets,
16) Relationship between planets
17) Negative Strength of Planets, check Ashtakavarga
18) Avastha (Situation in terms of age, maturity)  of Planets
19) If Rasi and Navamsa charts are not enough for information one can move to other divisional charts.
20) Argala, Virodhaargala, Istha devata, Rahu for rebirth, Atma Karaka, etc.

The current trend of too much electronics around growing children, so I think children's bedrooms and play rooms should be free from any electronics and electrical equipment, but now a day with out a game boy or IPod or IPhone children's life is not complete.

It might appear almost every planet has something to do with Epilepsy or any other brain related ailment, but these are the factors which can individually or collectively contribute to it.

There is this chart sent to me by someone, the issue is the child born on 29 Dec 2009, 10:07 pm, Barnstaple, suffered fits at the age of 2 years and 9 months and since then his health has been not good and he has problems with his speech, though he is going to school, so the parents tried almost every thing but no relief seems to be in sight, though the child suffered only one episode of fits and has been more or less in stable condition and is going to school.

The child just 6 years old, so normally it is recommended not to read charts of children below 21 years old, but since there is a problem I tried to read it and here is the analysis.

Rasi Chart

Tithi: Shukla Trayodashi, Nakshatra, Rohini 3 pada,

Lagna is Leo, and the house is empty, Lord of  the house Sun is in Putra bhava, or 5th house, and this house has a 7th house dhristi of Jupiter,
2nd house, is Virgo, Saturn (10 degrees) is present in Hasta Nakshatra, Pada 1,
3rd house, Libra is empty,
4th house, Scorpio is also empty,
5th house, Sagittarius, Lord of the house Jupiter in Kumbha or 7th house, Sun (14 degrees), Mercury retro (26 degrees), Venus (11 degrees) and Rahu (27 degrees) are posited there,
6th house, Capricorn, empty,
7th house Aquarius is with Jupiter (1 degree), Lord of 5th and 8th house and it has a 8th hosue dhristi of debilitated retro mars,
8th house, Pisces, empty,
9th house, Aries, empty,
10th house, Moon in Taurus, and Moon at 18 degrees is exalted here, Moon in Rohini, Pada 3,
11th house, Gemini is with Ketu (27 degrees) and has a 10th house dhristi of Saturn,
12th house, Cancer is with Mars retro (25 degrees), and Mars is debilitated here (Neech Avastha) Lord of Cancer is Moon,


Navamsa Chart D9

Lagna is Virgo and is empty,
2nd house is Libra, Lord of Libra Venus is in 11th house, and it has 7th house dhristi of debilitated Saturn from Aries,
3rd, 5th, 7th and 9th house are empty
4th house, Rahu and Mercury retro
6th house, Mars retro
8th house, Satrun debilitated
10th house, Moon and Ketu in Gemini,
11th house, Venus in Cancer,
12th house, Sun in its ownhouse Leo,

If we go house by house, Lagna is free from any afflictions so by birth the child is physically healthy and with Sun lordship and Jupiter's dhristi, he should be very good looking and bright,only hicup is Lordship os Kumbha, Saturn in Virgo in Hasta Nakshatra.

Nakshatra, Rohini, Pada 3, It falls in Gemini Navamsa, Lordship is Mercury, and it bestows power of mind and speech, Rohini natives are honest, beautiful and pure and Rohini is a productive Nakshatra, Rohini is wife of Moon.

Moon: Is Exalted in Taurus and is absolutely fine and is in 10th house will bestow a very promising public career, e.g. Obama has Moon in 10th house.

Jupiter: Jupiter is in Kumbha, Lordship is Saturn, which is afflicted, so Jupiter might carry that and has a 7th house dhristi on Lagna, few people have sighted that Jupiter at the time of ascendant rising might cause Epilepsy.

Saturn: Is the main reason for all the suffering due to its position, Aavastha, period, Dasha, Antara Dhasa, in this case, Saturn is in Hasta Nakshatra which gives roga yoga and it is present in Virgo, Virgo it self is vulnerable for sickness, and it seems around 1st week of August 2012, when Saturn and Mars were in transit in Virgo and Saturn left Virgo in 1st week of Aug 2012, they together inflicted this effect on the native.

Saturn needs to be kept as far as away from the child, Saturn likes dirty places, places full of clutter, old things, meaning Saturn needs to be made weaker so that the effects go down and Mercury needs to be raised.

Mercury: Virgo has Mercury lordship and effects Speech and Communication but the native will regain as the planets have moved away from Virgo, and only after 25 to 30 years they will return together to Virgo and this period was very sensitive for not only this native but for the entire world.

Mars: Mars in Asresha or Aslesha Nakshatra, pada 3, and is debilitated 18 degrees (high debilitation is at 28 degrees Cancer) in Cancer, and is also retro, in 12th house, 12th house is responsible for pleasure, and moksha, women in Hindu households are recommended to wear corals because corals are believed to control anxiety and anger, it more like rage which needs control.

2nd house Virgo is afflicted with Saturn in hasta Nakshatra, pada 1 which causes roga yoga, and lord of Virgo Mercury is in 5th house 15 degrees apart from Sun and retro, which means some past Karma needs to be resolved, 5th house is also shows past punya, 2nd house in Navamsa chart is also afflicted with 7th house dhristi of debilitated Saturn, Saturn in 2nd house as such slows down the natives ability of speaking.

Rahu and Ketu; Rahu in 5th house and Ketu in Labha bhava, 11th house are not in the equation here.

Dusthana: 6th, and 8th houses are empty but 6th house has 7th house dhristi from debilitated Mars, and 8th house has 7th house dhristi of Saturn, but their position is much better then most other houses, 12th House is afflicted with Mars debilitated.

Dasha: This native had Monn mahadasha when born and was all right till Around Aug 2012, and Mars Maha Dasha started from Aug 2013 (Lahiri) and will remain tll Aug 2020, and next Dasha is Rahu from Aug 2020 till Aug 2038 followed by Jupiter for 16 years, followed by Saturn for 19 years and followed by Mercury (17 yrs), Ketu (7 yrs), Venus (20 yrs) and Sun (6 yrs).

Antara Dasha: Venus Antara dasha and Saturn Pratyantara dasha during Aug 2012 and Venus is combust 11 degrees, Sun 10 degrees Saggitarius.

Bhadhakas (Road block): For Leo which is Sthira rasi (Fixed sign), 7th house and its lord are Bhadhaka, 7th house is Kumbha, Aq, and lord is Saturn and Jupiter is in Kumbha,

Marana Karak Sthana: Rasi Chart none, Navamsa, Sun in 12th house and owns 12th house.

Relationship between planets: Saturn in Virgo is freindly to Mercury the lordship, Mars in Cancer is friendly to Moon the lordship, Jupiter is not so friendly with Saturn its lordship, this signifies the comfortability of planets in their respective houses, for Argala, Saturn in 2nd house, so Virodhaargala from Mars in 12th, Saturn is a permanent enemy of Mars, but friendly temporarily, but Mars is OK with Saturn.

Strengths of Planets: Astakavarga,

Sun is 3 low average,
Moon is 5, High Average, the exalted Moon will bestow high average strength in a positive way,
Mars is 5 high average and as it is debilitated negative strength will be high average,
Mercury is 5 high average
Jupiter is 5 high average
Venus is 6 high, as it is combust, the Antara dasha of Venust will be uncomfortable for the native,
Saturn is 3 low Average

(Below 3 is low strength, 3 to 5 is average, 6 and above is high Strength)

Avastha of Planets: The importance of Avastha is to see what situation the planet if a happy powerful in its youth will give happy and strong results, and a happy, powerful planet in its old age will give happy, strong but slow results, and a child like planet will give very scarce results, in this case,

Sun is average, and a child,
Moon is high average and in its youth,
Mars is in its middle age and high average so the effects will be very uncomfortable
Mercury is in its middle age, and it is posited with Sun, it is not combust, results will be high average but slow,
Jupiter is an infant, and high average,
Venus is a child, and combust,
Saturn is also a child and low average which is a positive sign, so the negative effects will be scarce or little or momentary.

Conclusion: This native suffered a momentary injury due to Saturn in 2nd house, Virgo, Hasta Nakshatra, Venus Antara dasha and Venus gets debilitated in Virgo, Saturn pratyantara dasha, Mars and Saturn transit through Virgo during Aug 2012, Jupiter as bhadhaka, its dhristi on Lagna, it was a collective effect of all the above, but the injury was very small and will heal as Moon is very positive, as Mercury is responsible for speech and 2nd house lordship is Mercury, a clear green, Emerald in panch loha or gold on little finger, as little finger is also responsible for communication, might enhance Mercury to help him regain his speech and other communicative abilities. 

If Saturn in 2nd house slows down the natives ability of Speech, Rohini Pada 3 Nakshatra bestows power of mind and speech.

Try a clear Emerald on wednesdays and see how it helps the child if results are positive continue for entire week, and under observation let him wear it for ever, it will help him in his studies also, and whatever Coral, Pendants, should be used on experimental basis, If any thing causes negative effect on the child, better to be removed, Hanuman Kavacha is OK, Satudays are governed by Saturn so take refuge in the Lord Venkateshwara or Balaji, play devotional music, or Vishnu Shasranama which good for everyone.

Avoid dark colours, use light green or light colours for clothes, wall paints, objects, toys, etc.

Remedy: As Jupiter is the main planet concerning head related issues, it is best to read श्री बृहस्पति कवचम्  as a remedy, particularly for all those natives who have Jupiter in their Ascendant or Jupiter is in Cancer, Saggitarius, Pisces or in mutual exchange with the lord of the house it is posited in.

International Yoga Day June 21

ॐ नमः शिवाय!

June 21 is declared as International Yoga Day by the UNO, and this is one beautiful gesture UNO had made, actually yoga should be made mandatory for every school and every educational institution and minimum five Asanas which are the most important should be taught and each and every child should practise them at least till they get married, and if they can continue it is always beneficial.

Following are the main five Asanas:

1) Padma Asan, Normal Lotus posture, or those who can not due to bow legs they can use Sukh Asan.
2) Sarvang Asan,
3) Uttar Paschimot Asan
4) Mayur Asan
5) Shirsh Asan

And one should be able to hold each asan for at least 5 minutes every time they do it, and Brahma Mahurta 4:30 a.m., before the sun rays hit the Earth, is the best time to start.

We had regular yoga classes in our school and we were taught all these Asanas on a regular schedule, which was the reason why I continued it even after my schooling.

Elaborate Astang Yoga course should be available on UNO website for everyone to download for free and read and practise, they can get this from Swami Sivananda ashram website for free.

Above given asanas only give benefit to the physical body, but they do little for the mental and Astral body, for that higher yoga needs to be practised, Pranayama is one of them.

I have seen on the TV, people are told to do Kapal Bhati as a regular exercise, which is good but it does not do the complete good, if it is done with out proper process of body cleaning etc.

Whatever, International Yoga Day on June 21 of every year is very good and I liked it more when they called Yoga as a science, it is a science and has not been explored by modern scientists.

Yoga not only helps people with their body issues, it also helps with mental issues, astral connectivity issues, and many more issues which we are able to see, feel or sometimes, we don't even see them or feel them, but a yogi can see or feel them.

The most beautiful part of Yoga is control on everything, Anger, Senses, Mind, Desires, Happiness, Sadness, etc. and once a person experiences all these, one will never live with out Yoga.

The goal should be to attain the status of Yogeshwar, of course which will need lots of discipline, integrity, openness, food, etc. but it is not impossible. :-)

Aum Tat Sat!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Padma Asan:

Sukh Asana

Sarvanga Asana

Uttara Paschimot Asana

Mayur Asana (Peacock Pose)

Shirsh Asana

Each Asana should be held for minimum 5 minutes with normal breathing, or one can practise by holding the breath also, but if during those 5 minutes if one feels any discomfort, please slowly discontinue and sleep on the ground flat like a dead body which is also a Asan, "Shav Asan", for 5 minutes till your breathing returns to normal, and If you are going from no 2 to no 5, don't jump like a frog from Asan to Asan, takek your time and between each asan you can do Shav Asan for few minutes till your breathing returns to normal.

During the Asana, one should try to listen to the body sounds, and feel the stress and identify the location of the stress and then work on it with your prana, sounds easy but it needs lot of concentration and practise.

There is a big misconception that Yoga should be done like an exercise, purpose of yoga is to tune your body, Mind and Soul, and should be done with out any physical exhaustion, better if you play some very soothing music at a very low volume, like Shruti of Veena or even Jazz sounds good.

There are many warm up asanas, which should be done in the beginning, "engine daud" is one of them people like to do, it is like jogging in one place with movement of both hands and legs like a locomotive. :-))

Beginners should start yoga in a very calm atmosphere and with out any hurry and worry, and better in the presence of a learned person, same thing for Meditation, begin in a very serene, calm location, but eventually once you get hold of it, you can do anywhere in a soccer stadium or  even in a rock music concert hall, meaning once you get the mastery, the location becomes meaningless.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sanskrit as a mandatory subject,

Modi Government should see that Sanskrit is made a compulsory subject along with English and Hindi, not just rudimentary Sanskrit but on par with Hindi as a language.

Benefit of this will be North to South , East to West in India Sanskrit is available but is used by very few elite, once it is made mandatory then a Kashmiri will speak freely with a Tamilian in Sanskrit and when they write they can write in their scripts, same with Gujarati to Assamese, Sanskrit is one language which can actually dissolve all the difference due to Languages in India.

Even today a priest in Kashmir if he can speak Sanskrit, then he can freely communicate with a Sanskrit speaking priest in Tamilnadu or Karnataka or Andhra in Sanskrit, though they might write in their own scripts.

Well Sanskrit brought differences of caste in India, it might as well remove those difference when a lower caste person cleaning a toilet speaks in Sanskrit and very well understands what the priest in the temple has just chanted. :-)

The differences of I am elite and he is low might go away and then a Brahman might as well work in a municipal office cleaning roads and sewers, all speaking Sanskrit, :-)  then once this happens all government offices If function in Sanskrit then the need of Caste based reservation system will go away, instead a economy based reservation system will be needed, because the common factor which brings all lower castes together is economy, and there are many forward caste people who are poor, but they get nothing from the government and they have to fight for everything in a huge competition, which is not fare.
