Jyotish Vidya ( Sage Parasara ) Chapter 1. the Creation 1-4 1 Jyotish vidya ( sage Parasara ) Chapter 1. The Creation 1-4. Offering his obeisance to all-knowing sage Parasara and with folded hands, Maitreya said, "O Venerable, Astrology, the supreme limb of the Vedas, has three divisions, viz. Hora, Ganita and Samhita. Among the said three divisions, Hora or genethliac part of astrology is still more excellent. I desire to know of its glorious aspects from you. Be pleased to tell me, "How this Universe is created? How does it end? What is the relationship of the animals born on this earth with the heavenly bodies? Please speak elaborately". 5-8. Parasara answered, O Brahmin, your query (so to say, the desire to know of the intricacies of astrology) has an auspicious purpose in it for the welfare of the Universe. Praying Lord Brahma and Sri Saraswati, His power (and consort), and the Sun God, the leader of the planets and the cause of Creation. I shall proceed to narrate to you the Science of Astrologfy as heard through Lord Brahma. Only good will follow the teaching of this science to the students who are peacefully disposed, who honour the preceptors (and elders), who speak only truth and who are God-fearing. Woeful for ever doubtlessly will it be to impart knowledge of this science to an unwilling student, to a heterodox, and to a crafty person. 9-12. Sri Vishnu who is the lord (of all matters), who has undefiled spirit, who is endowed with the three Gunas although he transcends the grip of Gunas (i.e. Gunatita), who is the Author of this Universe, who is glorious, who is the Cause and who is endowed with valor has no beginning. He authored the Universe and administers it with a quarter of his power. The other three quarters of Him, filled with nectar, are knowable to (only) the philosophers (of maturity). The Principal Evolver who is both perceptible and imperceptible is Vasu Deva. The Imperceptible part of the Lord is endowed with dual powers while the Perceptible with triple powers. 13-15. The three powers are: Sri Sakti (Mother Lakshmi) with Satwa Guna, Bhoo Sakti (Mother Earth) with Rajoguna and Neela Sakti with Tamoguna. Apart from the three, the fourth kind of Vishnu, influenced by Sri Sakti and Bhoo Sakti, assumes the form of Sankarshana with Tamo Guna, of Pradyumna with Rajoguna, and of Anirudha with Satwa Guna. 16-17. Mahattatwa, Ahamkara and Ahamkara Murthi, Brahma, are born from Samkarshana, Pradyumna, and Anirudha respectively. All these three forms are endowed with all the three gunas, with predominance of the Guna due to Their origin. 18-19. Ahamkara is of three classes, i.e. with Satwic, Rajasic, and Tamasic disposition. Divine class, sensory organs, and the fine primordial compounds (air, earth, etc.) are respectively from the said three Ahamkaras. 20. Lord Vishnu coupled with Sri Sakti rules over the three worlds. Coupled with Bhoo Sakti, He is Brahma causing the Universe. Coupled with Neela Sakti, He is Siva, destroying the Universe. 21-24. The Lord is in all beings and the entire Universe is in Him. All beings contain both Jeevatma and Paramatma Amsas. Some have predominance of the former while yet some have the latter in predominance. Paramatmamsa is predominant in the Grahas viz. Sun etc. and Brahma, Siva and others. Their powers or consorts too have predominance of Paramatmamsa. Others have more of Jeevatmamasa. Chapter 2. Great Incarnations 1. Maitreya: "O sage, are the incarnations of Vishnu, viz. Sri Rama, Sri Krishna etc. endowed with Jeevamsa? 2. Parasara: "O Brahmin, the four incarnations, viz. Rama, Krishna, Narasimha and Varatha are wholly with Paramatmamsa. The other incarnations (than these, out of the ten) have in them Jeevamsa too. 2 3-4. The Unborn lord has many incarnations. He has incarnated as the planets (Nava Grahas) to bestow on the living beings the results due to their Karmas. He is Janardana. He assumed the auspicious form of Grahas to destroy the demons (evil forces) and sustain the divine beings. 5-7. From the Sun God the incarnation of Rama, from the Moon that of Krishna, from Mars that of Narasimha, from Mercury that of Budha, from Jupiter that of Vamana, from Venus that of Parasu Rama, from Saturn that of Kurma, from Rahu that of Varaha and from Kethu that of Meena occurred. All other incarnations than these also are through the Grahas. The beings with more Paramatmamsa are called divine beings. 8-13. The beings with more Jeevatmamsa are (mortal) beings. The high degree of Paramatmamsa from the Grahas, viz. Sun, etc. did incarnate as Rama, Krishna, etc.. After completing the mission, the Paramatmamsas (of the respective) Grahas again merge (in the respective) Grahas. The Jeevatma portions from the Grahas take births as human beings and live their lives according to their Karmas and again merge in the Grahas. And at the time of Great Destruction, the Grahas as well merge in the Lord Vishnu. One who knows of all these, will become versed in the knowledge of the past, present, and future. Without a knowledge of astrology these cannot be known. Hence everyone should have a knowledge of Astrology particularly the Brahmin. One who, devoid of astrological knowledge, blames this science will go to the hell called 'Raurava', and will be reborn blind. Chapter 3. Planetary Characters and Description 1. Maitreya: "O Sage, you have affectionately explained about the planetary incarnations. Now kindly detail their characters and dispositions." 2-3. Parasara: "O Brahmin, listen to the account of placement of the heavenly bodies. Out of the many luminous bodies sighted in the skies, some are stars; yet some are planets (i.e. Grahas). Those that have no movements are the Nakshatras (or asterisms). 4-6. Those are called planets (or Grahas) that move through the Nakshatras (or asterisms) in the zodiac. The said zodiac comprises of 27 asterisms commencing from Aswini. The same area is divided in 12 parts equal to 12 Rasis (or signs) commencing from Aries. The names of the planets commence from the Sun. The sign rising is known as Lagna (or the ascendant). Based on the ascendant and the planets joining and departing from each other, the native's good and bad effects are deduced. 7. Details (of astronomical nature) of stars be understood by general rules while I narrate to you about the effects of planets and signs. 8-9. The positions of the planets for a given time be taken as per Drikganita. And with the help of Rasi durations applicable to the respective places, the ascendant at birth should be known. Now I tell you about the castes, descriptions, and dispositions of the planets. 10. NAME OF PLANETS: The names of the nine planets respectively are: the Sun, the Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu. 11. BENEFICS AND MALEFICS: Among these, the Sun, Saturn, Mars, decreasing Moon, Rahu, and Ketu (the ascending and descending nodes of the Moon) are malefics while the rest are benefics.

    Sri Jagannath Vedic Center, USA Drig dasa August 23, 2002 Ukiah, USA © Robert Koch, 2002 – Published in Jyotish Digest 1 Ascetic Yogas THE PATH OF SELF-REALIZATION Robert Koch Robert Koch was initiated as Sri Patraka Das at the lotus feet of H.H. 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.

This belt is considered special because it is where the sun, the moon, and the planets all move. The word zodiac means “circle of figures” or “circle of life”. As the earth revolves around the sun, different parts of the sky become visible. Each month, one of the 12 constellations show up above the horizon in the east and disappears below the horizon in the west. If you are born under a particular sign, the constellation it is named for can’t be seen at night. Instead, the sun is passing through it around that time of year making it a daytime constellation that you can’t see!

  • Planetary Positions and Their Effects in the Year 2010
    PLANETARY POSITIONS AND THEIR EFFECTS IN THE YEAR 2010 YOUR CAREER IN 2010 FINANCIAL PROSPECTS IN 2010 RELATIONSHIPS IN 2010 Each sign has its own property. Thus every individual born in a sign will possess a number of common and vital qualities. The Ascendant in Aries is the most inclined to accidents whereas Virgo is least apt to accidents. This is due to the surplus nervous energy of the Aries lagna native and his incapability to manage it correctly. Likewise Pisces lagna native is also likely to accidents. Pisces being represented by the two faced fish cannot take quick decisions because of their weak reflex action. The Virgo lagna native is more careful and will always think twice ahead of starting action. Libra natives are well-adjusted and so they are not usually given to accidents. Normally the natives with Ascendants in the fixed signs of Aquarius, Leo and Taurus are less inclined to accidents. They are not fond of modifications, carrying out tests and consequently they stick to a fixed routine, which is the probable reason. The sign inhabited by the Sun has a significant role in ascertaining the energy of the native. If the energy is high, the power to recover is also high and the damage incurred will be less. Sun is a very hot and a fierce planet. It is at ease when it resides in similar signs. But when it resides in Watery signs like Scorpio, Pisces and Cancer, it will not be at ease and thus will trigger accidents. In the same way, when Sun inhabits Capricorn and Sagittarius, the fierce nature becomes centered and reduced to a specific location and this safeguards the individual.

  • 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.
