Associate professor, Dept of Kriya Sharir, Shri Gulabkubarba Ayurveda College Gujarat Ayurveda University, Jamnagar, Gujarat, India ABSTRACT Both Ayurveda, the science of life and Jyotish Shastra, the science of correlation of heavenly bodied with the human existence, are ancient Indian Sciences. They are known as Vedic sciences, which have developed and recorded in the most ancient scriptures of Indian tradition. Owing to this factor alone, both these sciences are greatly intertwined with each other, and often one of them corroborates or even supplements the other. In fact the correla- tion is found to a much subtler extent in the Indian cosmic science that it is today popular all worlds by its name, Yoga. Just as yoga strives to achieve oneness between the internal consti- tution of a person with the natures that surrounds it, both Ayurveda and Astrology strives to equate humans with the factors that surround them. For this reason, several Ay- urvedicvaidhyas have looked upon astrology as a supplement to their prescriptions, and sev- eral astrologists have tried to rectify planetary maladies with the help of Ayurveda.

Sri Srimad A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in March, 1971. He lived in India for 6 years till 1983, studying Jyotish and has received certificate of commendation for spreading Hindu astrology in the USA, from the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, in 1999. Web site: http://www.robertkoch.com n the first Canto of the great Vedic Purana Srimad Bhagavatam, there is a very interesting and instructional conversation that took place between a bull personifying I Dharma, or religion, and Bhumi, the mother earth in the form of a cow. The bull was standing on one leg, suggesting that that one out of four pillars of religious principles (represented by each leg of Dharma, the bull) was still existing, and that in itself was faltering with the progress of Kali-yuga. The four legs of the Dharma are truthfulness, cleanliness, mercy, and austerity. If most or all of these legs of Dharma are broken, or if 3 out of 4 Dharmic principles exist very rarely, in human society, then we can be confident that Kali-yuga – the age of quarrel and darkness – is well upon us. Given that there are some rare souls existing who speak and live the Supreme Absolute Truth, as is found in various Vedic literatures, the remaining leg of truthfulness still exists. Such persons are characterized by complete self-control, or the ability to detach themselves from the relative world of the senses and the objects of sense pleasure.

  • Introduction and Background to the Article on the Future of Yoga in the West
    Introduction and background to the article on the future of Yoga in the West **updated version from 03.12.16, since first publishing** I began this project (which is now much more of a process) on a (seemingly) simple request to write an article on the future of Yoga in the west for Hindu Human Rights. Knowing yet another first­person “State of the (Yoga) Union” address would essentially have zero value in light of the bigger ​ issues in western Yoga world, I decided to base the project around a series of interviews with different people who had been involved in the discussion of how we got to where we are, i.e., this “Wild West, anything goes” concept of Yoga. Suffice it to say, as the conversations began, the project became infinitely more complex. Each one of the interviews highlighted something specific to framing the issues; each of the voices provided a myriad of “jumping off” points for further investigation and research. And with many other key collaborators besides the interviewees also involved, the depth and complexity of the topic expanded incredibly. Really, the “digging into” the topic could go on forever, but at a certain point the “getting it out” needs to take precedence in light of all that is at stake here. All that said, given the extensive subject matter and all of the nuance and information involved ­­ as well as all that has arisen throughout the process ​ of interviews and related research ­­ the future of Yoga in the west article will be published in a series of three parts: Part I (as follows herein), “Adharmic Alliance: How the ivory tower helped Yoga Alliance “certify” Yoga as secular and detach it from its ​ ​ ​ Hindu roots”: ● The first part frames the issues of Yoga in the west, and specifically the westernization of Yoga, around a case study of “Sedlock v.

  • Historical Notes: Rahu and Ketu in Mythological and Astronomological
    Indian Journal of History of Science, 45.2 (2010) 287-297 HISTORICAL NOTES – RAHU AND KETU IN MYTHOLOGICAL AND ASTRONOMOLOGICAL CONTEXTS Rajesh Kochhar* Our aim is to examine, in a joint mythological and astronomical- astrological (“astronomological”) context, how the textual meanings of Ra– hu and Ketu have evolved with time. They were possibly deployed as planetary deities after the mathematical theory of eclipses propounded by – Aryabhat.a. INTRODUCTION Ancient Indian perception of the moving cosmic environment two millennia ago was bipolar. Orbits of the seven geocentric planets (graha) by virtue of their predictability represented cosmic order, while phenomena like meteors, comets and eclipses which did not fit into any pattern were classified as utpa–ta, portent or calamity. This world view is preserved in a Buddhist Sanskrit text, – – – Sardulakarn.avadana, the legend contained in which is known to have been translated in an abridged form into Chinese in 265 AD (Vaidya 1999, p.xi) . As the 5th century AD came to a close, the status of eclipses was modified. Mathematical theory of eclipses was propounded in India in 499 AD by A– ryabhata (born 476 AD) in his influential siddha–ntic treatise simply known as – . – Aryabhat.iyam (see Ohashi 2009 for a recent review). According to this theory, solar and lunar eclipses occur when the moon is at either of its orbital nodes. These theoretical points move in a direction opposite to that of the planets and complete an orbit in the rather short period of 18.6 years. This development was immediately taken note of in astrological literature, which classified the two nodes as planets, implying that they were now amenable to mathematics.

  • Drekkanna - the D/3 Chart = Dreshkhamsa
    DREKKANNA - THE D/3 CHART = DRESHKHAMSA Drekkana the D-3 chart = dreshkhamsha = a graphic representation of the placement of each radix graha into one of the 36 Drekkana BPHS Chapter 6: Shloka 7-8. Dreshkamsha: "One third of a Rashi is called Dreshkamsha. These are totally 36, counted from Mesha, repeating thrice at the rate of 12 per round. The 1st, 5th and the 9th Rashi from a Rashi are its three Dreshkhamsha and are,respectively, lorded by 1. Narada, 2. Agasthya 3. Durvasha." The meaning of the word DRESH – KANA DRESH mens seeing or visualizing objects which are apparent or hidden (obscure) in nature. KANA means corner or trine (Trikona). Therefore, Dreshkana represents the varga (division) where the signs, trine to each other, convey apparent as well as hidden personality and nature (swaroopa) of the native. Quotes From: David Frawley. the Astrology of the Seers, p. 186: "In this harmonic the first 1/3 or ten degrees 00° 00'-10° 00' of any sign ruled by itself. The middle 1/3,10° 00'-20° 00', is ruled by the subsequent sign of the same element. The last 1/3, 20° 00'-30° 00', is ruled by the final sign of the same element. For example, the first 1/3 of Sagittarius is in the harmonic third of Sagittarius, the second 1/3 in the harmonic third of Aries, and the last 1/3 in the harmonic third of Leo. Hence, if Saturn is located in a birth chart at 15° 20' Sagittarius, it would be in the harmonic third of Aries.

  • 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).

  • 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.
