  • What Is Vish Yog?
    What is vish yog? -By Tantra Siddha Maha Yogi Shastrishree Dr.Rupnathji Vish Yoga—Vish Yoga is formed when Saturn and Moon are together or when Sat aspects Moon.It is not a good yoga and person born under this yoga can do harm of persons represented by the house in which Saturn is placed. Shani and Chandra Yuti, generally considered as VISH YOGA (Poison Combination). and it does creates bad effect on Mother and her health particularly. But more importantly see the 4th House of the Native for Mother Son / Mother and Daughter relations. If Saturn is with Mars / Rahu in 4th House or making Kendra / Samsaptak Yoga like 4-10 combination then there are much more chases that it will create rift between them. this normally leads to separation in the relation. A very painful patch for family in general. If Saturn and Moon are in Yuti where the distance between the Planets is less than 5 degrees then generally it gives worst effects. It can make the Native Emotionally and Mentally weak. Saturn poisons the Natural emotions of Moon causing lack of Expression and Emotions from Native These people are Hard working in Nature but success comes after the Age of 30-32. They generally land in to Service Industry after series of Failures. They are Strict in Discipline and make a Good Administrator. This Yuti gives Bad effects during Each Others Dasa and Antar Dasas. It reflects losses of the House where both the Planets are located. DR.RUPNATHJI( DR.RUPAK NATH ) eg. If this Yuti is in 5th House then, Chandra Mahadasa with Shani Antardasa or vice versa will give Bad effect to Native, which leads to Failure in Exams, Sudden Change in Education Streams, Failure in Love Affair or Problem to Son/Daughter of Native.

  • Mars) and in Navamsha Though It Is Occupying Another Kendra in Rāshi of His Friend Shukra (Venus), He Is Afflicted by Rahu Conjunct There
    Budha (Mercury) Budha means the intelligent, clever or a wise man in Sanskrit. It is also the name of one of the nine grahas whose movement affects human beings as well as nations and weather conditions that are the subject matter of the divine science known as Vedic Astrology. Hindu mythology (Puranas) tells that Budha (Mercury) is the illegitimate son of Chandra (Moon) out of Tara who was Guru’s (Jupiter) wife. The Puranas tell us that Chandra was enamored of Tara the wife of Guru and seduced her when she was taking a walk in a garden. Tara is then said to have eloped with Chandra. On being asked by Guru to return his wife, Chandra refused to do so. Thereupon Guru sought help of other Gods who waged war against Chandra but Chandra who was helped by Shukra (Venus) defeated them. Then Guru sought help of Lord Shiva who set out to fight Chandra. Lord Brahma, who treats Chandra as his son, knew that this war would end in annihilation of Chandra and therefore went to Chandra and prevailed upon him to return Tara to Guru, thus avoiding war. Chandra relented and returned Tara who started living with Guru. However Tara was pregnant by that time and gave birth to Budha at Guru’s place. On being confronted, she accepted that Budha was son of Chandra. However Budha was so handsome, sharp, capable of grasping thing fast, and intelligent that Guru decided to accept him as his own son and taught him all the shastras (sciences), which Budha absorbed in a short time.

  • Inference of Jyotishy Ference of Jyotishya in Ayurveda

College of Ayurveda and Hospital, Hassan, Karnataka, India 2Associate Professor and HOD Department of Swasthavritta, S.D.M. College of Ayurveda and Hospital, Hassan, Karnataka, India ABSTRACT Jyotishya Shastra, the words derived from Sanskrit. "Jyotish" means planets or celestial bodies or graha and "Shastra" means scientific study. The word “Graha” has various meanings. Graha as planets, microorganisms and supernatural powers have a definitive role in causing var- ious somatic and psychosomatic afflictions. In Jyothishya shastra Graha refers to planets they are the Surya, Chandra, Mangala, Budha, Guru, Shukra, Shani, Rahu and Ketu. In Ayurveda classics also one can find many evidences regarding jyotishastra. Aim: Relation between Ayur- veda and Jyotishya shastra. Objectives: An attempt to critically analyze the varied understand- ings of Graha and importance of jyotishya and its probable role in causation of various diseases and executing the treatment. Material and method: Various contemporary science and Ayurved- ic classical text comprehensively compiled and critically analyzed. Discussion: Ayurveda be- lieves in the treatment of human ailments by the prescription of herbs. The planets combinations will bring various diseases. Hence, Jyotish could set a physician on the right track on how to go ahead with the treatment of the disease. Conclusion:

  • Narcissism, Self-Effacement and Rahu and Ketu a Key to Understanding People by Hank Friedman
    Narcissism, Self-Effacement and Rahu and Ketu a key to understanding people by Hank Friedman [Note: For those unfamiliar with Vedic terms, Rahu is the Moon's North Node, and Ketu is the Moon's South Node. Thanks to AstroDatabank for the birth data for the charts in this article.] Ascertaining the positions of the Moon's nodes, Rahu and Ketu, arose from the need to predict eclipses. During a New Moon or Full Moon, if either of the nodes is near the Sun and the Moon, an eclipse occurs. Therefore, the central theme of both nodes is the principle of eclipsing. An eclipse is a momentous event, a major omen, respected from the earliest times as representing a change in the wind, a time of great transition. In the context of Vedic astrology, eclipsing carries the meanings of obscuring, negating, diminishing, paralyzing, and blinding, as well as emphasizing, distorting, amplifying, and exaggerating. Many classical Vedic astrology texts show the meaning of the nodes when in specific houses, e.g. Jataka Parijata (Chapter 8, Shloka 60) states: "When Rahu occupies the Ascendant, the person born will be cruel, without compassion or moral virtue in his nature and suffering from ailments. When Ketu occupies the Ascendant, the person born will be sickly and very avaricious. If the Rahu or Ketu in the Ascendant be aspected by a benefic planet, the person concerned will have princely enjoyments." As the final shloka indicates, the nodes are incredibly mutable chameleons who take on the nature of planets with and aspecting them, as well as the nature of their dispositors (planets that rule the signs that they are in).

  • Mangala Dosha- Astrological & Scietific Approach
    MANGALA DOSHA- ASTROLOGICAL & SCIETIFIC APPROACH Mangala dosha, Kuja Dosha,Mars Dosha, Mangalik all these are the same which is frightening most of us having believed in Astrology. In other words, Astrologers (Not all) frighten us about Mangala Dosha and Sarpa doSha/ Kalasarpa Dosha. The fear of these doshas does more harm than the Dosha itself. I have posted in this blog few days back on Sarpa dosha. I remember to have written an article in kannada daily “Vijaya Karnataka”, 6-7 years back. I found that, a part of this article is reproduced in Times of India dated 21-4-2019 ( I don’t claim copy right on this because I am happy as long as the truth is communicated to people to allay unnecessary fear). I have requested Smt Sumana Lakshmeesha who is presently working for a News portal to help me get the said article published in Vijaya Karnataka when she was associated with this Newspaper. Once I get this kannada article I shall post it on this blog. Let me first tell what Mangala Dosha/ Kuja Dosha/Mars Dosha/ Mangalik is according to the ancient texts on Vedic Astrology. 1. The placement of Mars/ Mangala/ Kuja in I, 2, 4, 7, 8, 12 places counted from Lagna (Ascendant) OR Rasi ( Moon Sign) OR from the house where Venus is placed in the Natal Chart for both Men & Women. Going by this Rule almost every chart will have Mars/ Kuja/ Mangala Dosha either from Lagna or from Moon or from Venus, because it is very likely that Lagna, Moon and Venus will be in three different houses in the Zodiac.

  • Uttarakalamritam by Kalidasa
    Uttara Kalamritam by Kalidasa Edited by Chistabo, May 2012 Uttarakalamritam by Kalidasa As per English translation by Panditabushana V. Subrahmanya Sastri B.A. 1 Uttara Kalamritam by Kalidasa Edited by Chistabo, May 2012 INTRODUCTION Present is one more addition to existing literature, pertaining to great and celestial science of Astrology. Many ordinary incidents in life, which we pass by and notice not, as well as phenomena of nature, are easily explained with reference to Astrology. There have been indications of it in works which I have previously translated, viz. Brihat Jataka, Jatakaparijata, Sripati Paddhati and Phaladeepika, works by giants of Astrology. As an instance of influence of phenomena of nature on human life, reference may be made to rainbow caused by refraction of Surya’s rays through a watery prism, consisting of particles of rain water. Rainbow is produced on a morning or on an evening, i.e. when Surya is at Lagna or Astha Lagna. Then, when Surya is at Lagna (rising Rasi or Ascendant), seventh Rasi is encircled by beautiful circles of seven variegated colors on a watery plane. Even so, rising Rasi is encircled by circles of like nature, when Surya is posited in 7th Rasi. Lagna represents native, while seventh Rasi denotes partner of native. Life of native will be happy, cordial and jovial if there be a sympathetic, loving and understanding support from partner. Seven colors of rainbow represent seven Grahas, who by various combinations produce seven kinds of energy or seven modes of motion that are found common in Universe. Uttarakalamritam, which is here translated, discloses a treasure house of knowledge on Astrology, so far unrevealed.

  • Shani on the Web: Virality and Vitality in Digital Popular Hinduism
    religions Article Shani on the Web: Virality and Vitality in Digital Popular Hinduism Varuni Bhatia School of Arts and Sciences, Azim Premji University, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560100, India; [email protected] Received: 10 August 2020; Accepted: 3 September 2020; Published: 6 September 2020 Abstract: What do god posters circulating online tell us about the practice of popular Hinduism in the age of digital mediatization? The article seeks to address the question by exploring images and god posters dedicated to the planetary deity Shani on Web 2.0. The article tracks Shani’s presence on a range of online platforms—from the religion and culture pages of newspapers to YouTube videos and social media platforms. Using Shani’s presence on the Web as a case study, the article argues that content drawn from popular Hinduism, dealing with astrology, ritual, religious vows and observances, form a significant and substantial aspect of online Hinduism. The article draws attention to the specific affordances of Web 2.0 to radically rethink what engaging with the sacred object in a virtual realm may entail. In doing so, it indicates what the future of Hindu religiosity may look like. Keywords: digital Hinduism; god posters; Shani; Hindu images; Hinduism and mediatization The power of digital media impinges on everyday life in contemporary times with ever-increasing scope and intensity. The unfolding COVID-19 pandemic has brought this fact into sharper relief than, perhaps, ever before. Needless to say, this enhanced digitality has also permeated the sphere of religion and religious rituals. How different religions reformulate ritual practices in the light of the pandemic and the theological and doctrinal implications of such reformulations is a topic for a different discussion.

The Hindu science of study of these planets is called the Vedic Astrology. Classical Vedic astrology uses the seven visible planets Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, along with the two lunar nodes, the north and south nodes, Rahu and Ketu. The Hindu astrology is based on an elaborate calculation of the positions of these planets at the time of one's birth. For example, the zodiac is divided in to twelve zones ('houses' of 30 degrees each). The planet Sun travels in to one of these houses each month. Similarly, the other planets have their times of travel through the zodiac assigned to them. As the planets travel through these zodiac signs, their relative positions with respect to each other changes and is supposed to determine the fate of the human affairs. An astrologer can draw up a horoscope of a person based on his time of birth and calculate the relative positions of the planets relative to this horoscope.
