Om Gurave Namah
-----------------------------------------------------------
Dear Inder Jit & Sarajit,
I am a humble SIKSHA GURU like so many others in this line and am human and
can err. I am not a Diksha Guru and am not qualified for the same, so please
do not expect that level of perfection from me. We are all walking on a very
dark path and can only pray to Vasudeva to throw some light in this
darkness. You had started a very nice thread and this is very nice to
discuss as this questions the very foundations of Jyotish itself. Had it not
been for external interference, this would have continued ..now that you
ask, may Jagannatha Mahaprabhu guide my hand..
Karma & Free will
1. After death, a person carries with him the dharma and the Karma which
can be divided into two broad parts called Sanchita Karma and Prarabdha
Karma. Sanchita Karma is finished in various types of hells and suffering in
the life after death whereas Prarabdha Karma has to be carried into another
body and can be burnt only through experience. So, only the most elevated
souls who have complete control over their Indriya's (sense's) are not
affected by these experiences in this life. All others are.
PRABADHA KARMA IS THE NAME OF THOSE KARMA ,THE CONSEQUENCES OF WHICH ONE
WILL FACE DURING THIS LIFE , THE SCHEME WITH WHICH ONE IS BORN.WHICH IS
SHOWN BY THE BIRTH CHART.
SANCHIT KARMA ARE ALL THOSE KARMA'S WHICH ONE WILL FACE IN THE NEXT BIRTHS ,
THOSE DONE IN THIS BIRTH MAY ALSO ADD TO THESE SANCHIT KARMA, IF ARE DONE
WITH PROUD? ONE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR ONLY THOSE KARMA'S WHICH HE DO WITH
PROUD, SURRENDER AND WORKS WITHOUT PROUD ARE NOT ADDED TO SANCHIT KARMA'S
AND CAUSE ENLIGHTENMENT OF ONE'S SELF.
HEAVENS AND HELL AND SALVATION ALL ARE WITHIN THIS BODY AND NOTHNG IS AWAY
FROM IT.
NATURE HAS PERFECT RULES AND EVERY ACTION HAS ITS COUNTER REACTION AND FORM
THE SEED WITHIN OUR JIVA. THESES SEEDS ARE THE SANCHIT KARMA.
AGAIN SOME SEEDS BECOMES TREE IMMEDIATELY AND SOME TAKES BIRTHS TO GROW.
2. Based on the Prarabdha Karma, Krishna decides the circumstances of
birth, experiences and length of life that a person has to undergo to
complete this Prarabdha. Sometimes one life is not enough and many births
maybe necessary. The conception chart is used to determine the past karma.
In fact the Dwadasamsa (D-12 Chart) of the Nisheka (Conception) tells us
many details. This is not a practical proposition, but not an impossibility
given the direction of development of the biological sciences. The Janma
Kundali (Birth Chart) is the perfect map of the Prarabdha Karma and the
Shastyamsa (D-60 Chart) is the most vital in the Shodasavarga scheme of
Parasara. The D-60 gets the highest weightage in the Vimsopaka Bala scheme
and hence establishes its priority over others. This chart also tells us
about the Prarabdha Karma in addition to the Navamsa, Rasi and other charts
in their relative importance (weights assigned by Parasara in Vimsopaka
scheme).
THESE ARE THE FATALISTIC VIEWS , WHO DECIDES FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT BELEIVE IN
KRISHNA? JANMA KUNDLI SHOWS THE PRALABADH OTHERVISE CALLED DESTINY IS AGREED
AS A.LREADY DISCUSSED ABOVE.
3. Given this paradigm of the theory of Karma and rebirth, we hardly have
any space to maneuver and it seems that the journey through this life is an
inevitable jail term that we must bear. This is true. Now the hard question
is what is the role of Jyotish and in what way is the Jyotish going to help
in altering the inalterable or changing that which cannot be changed as the
term is fixed and so is the sentence inevitable. In reply some astrologers
offer platitudes like making the suffering easier by knowing that this was
an eventuality and that this is only a natural reaction to what we had done,
but then this is a nice logical analysis and is not really supported by the
traditional texts or literature. This question was answered in detail by Har
ihara the author of Prasna Marga (translation Dr B V Raman). After reading
that, all doubts will disappear and you will realize the great job that Dr
Raman has done.
WHY JAIL , THE BIRTH IS DUE TO INCOMPLETE DESIRES OF THE MIND AND TO KNOW
THYSELF, THIS KNOWLEDGE WILL COME THROUGH THIS BODY AND THERE IS NO OTHER
WAY TO ACHIEVE THIS.
4. Like every other birth, the Atma rides (Arudha) this Mana (Mind-Moon)
which controls this Sareera (Body). The Atma remebers all tis past
incarnations but the Mana, being new and aware of this incarnation alone
cannot understand the reason behind the various forms of suffering that it
sees and experiences. It expresses anger when a feeling that injustice has
been done (based on its awareness and concept of justice) this is Mars and
later this passion results in sorrow as the atma does not cooperate with the
Mana being aware that the Prarabdha Karma is being burnt through this
anubhava (experience). It is here that Jupiter intervenes. If Jupiter is
strong in simhalokamsa or is strengthened by adoration of one's DIKSHA GURU
(be careful here - not Siksha Guru's like K N Rao or myself and Achyutananda
Dasa has warned us to be very careful with the advent and advancement of
Kali Yuga w.r.t guru's), then one is directed in the path of self correction
through recitation of prayers for forgiveness and protection from evil
experiences that are destined to come.
WE ARE BECAUSE OF MIND ,THOUGHTS AND DESIRES, WHAT IS ME A BUNCH OF THOUGTHS
AND DESIRES LYING ON THE GREATER CONSCIOUS WHO IS HOLDING THE WHOLE WORLD ,
AND AWAY FROM THIS MIND , MIND ELOPES THEN I AM THE GREATER CONSCIOUS, WHO
HAS SEVERAL HANDS TWO OF WHICH ARE YOURS AND ADDED TO IT ARE OF THE WHOLE
UNIVERSE. DIFFERNT IDEAS , DIFFERENT MINDS ARE RESTING , BUT AWAY FROM MIND
NO DESIRE NOTHING .
A BIRTH CHART IS A MEASURE OF PARAMETERS OF VARIOUS KARMA'S , JUPITER
ITSSELF IS NOT AKASH BUT IT REPRESENTS THE AKASH TATWA ,ITS MOMENTS AND
PLACEMENTS SPEAKS ABOUT THE MEASURE OF VARIOUS AUSPISIOUSKARMA OF A PERSON.
LIKE WE READ ON THERMOMETER THE TEMPREATURE OF AN INDIVIDUAL, HERE THE
INSTRUMENTS IS A WAY TO MEASURE THE TEMPREATURE AND IT IS NOT THE
TEMPREATURE ITSSELF.
5. This is the point of Harihara when he was explaining the value of
Prasna. Prasna tells us whether the native has done better or worse Karma
from his birth till the time of Prasna. Thus Karma done in this life is
immediately recorded by Chitra Gupta (sitting on the star Chitra -linked to
Chitra paksha Ayanamsa maybe). [Some astrologers advise the worship of
Chitra gupta the assistants of Yama on Chaitra (derived from Chitra)
Poornima so that they may skip some records of your bad Karma!!!]. This
immediate recording results in an alteration or influence to the birth/natal
chart and has a profound influence on the immediate and long term future.
a.. If the Natal Chart planetary positions are better than the Prasna
chart, then the person has fallen further in this life i.e. accumulated more
bad karma.
b.. If the Natal chart planetary indications are worse than the Prasna
chart then infer that he has done better Karma in this life, and to that
extent shall have a better future.
c.. If the indications of the Natal and Prasna chart are the same, then
then he is merely sailing through this life experiences the past Karma.
d.. That the effect of this Karma can alter the indications of the Janma
Kundali including Longevity (Please keep calm and read further).
I ALREADY DISCUSSED IT IN MY FIRST PARA, SOME KARMA'S GIVE THE RESULTS IN
THE SAME BIRTH, LIKE TAKE A BAD MEAL AND YOU WILL GET THE INSTANT RESULT ,
ABUSE SOME ONE AND YOU MAY GET IMMEDIATE RESPONSE. AND THERE ARE OTHER
KARMA'S WHICH TAKE THE FORM OF SANCHIT KARMA.
6. It is evident from the above clear statements that the Karma we do in
this life is immediately recorded from the moment the Karma is performed and
has an immediate impact on the future whether immediate or distant or
subsequent births. It is here that another question crops up. This is the
question of FREE WILL. Now, what is free will? It means the power to
determine the action that one shall take as a consequence to or for the
purpose of some event or goal. It is a goal directed action and not an
involuntary action. This is where the question of Upachaya comes up and the
houses 3,6,10 & 11 deal with the actions that one can or will take given
the various inputs from the environment (33% is bounded rationality like the
Simonian model of decision making) . Thus, in the first place, this action
itself is bounded by various inputs and this is called bounded rationality
depending on four factors that are like four boundaries of a plot -
Information (Knowledge) called BUDDHI [Dharma-Ayana], Resources that are
focused on VRIDDHI or increase of wealth [Artha-Ayana], Abilities that
fulfil desires based on (the purity of) the purpose SUDDHI [Kaama -Ayana]
and finally Time that is the final giver of emancipation and end of all
Karma whether Sanchita or Prarabdha called SIDDHI [Moksha-Ayana]. Here comes
the greatest teaching of the Gita "KARMA IS YOUR BIRTH RIGHT BUT YOU HAVE NO
RIGHT (ADHIKARA) ON THE FRUITS". This adhikara or right to freedom of
Action is the only birth right given by God.
Hence Harihara (Prasna Marga) prays
Madhyatavyadhipam Dugdhasindhukanyadhwam Dhiya
Dhiyayami sadhwaham Buddhe Suddhyai Vriddhyai cha Siddhye
NO ONLY SOME KARMAS HAVE THE IMMEDIATEDTE OR THE IMPACT WITHIN THIS BIRTH.
ALL DOES NOT AND CANNOT CHANGE, YOU CANNOT CHOOSE YOUR PARENTS , FROM WHICH
POINT THIS DEBATE HAS BEEN STARTED. IF THE PARENTS COULD NOT BE CHOOSED THEN
HOW ONE WILL CHOOSE THAT TO WHOM MARRY ? AN ASTROLOGER ULTIMATELY ,KNOWINGLY
OR UNKNOWINGLY FIXES THE SAME MATCH , WHICH ARE DESTINED TO BE MARRIED, YOU
DISCUSSED VARIOUS TYPES OF MARRIGES THESE ARE IRRELEVENT TO PRESENT
DISCUSSION.PRALABADH KARMAS WHICH ARE SHOWN BY THE BIRTH CHART ARE LIKE A
BULLET SHOT FROM THE GUN WHICH COULD NOT BE RETURNED. A YOGI INDEED WILL
BURN HIS SANCHIT KARMA ,THAT IS THOSE WHICH HE WAS TO FACE IN THE NEXT
BIRTHS , BUT PRALABDH HE HAS TO FACE, AND READ THE LIFE OF GREAT SAINTS ,
HOW THEY REACHED TO THERE END. A YOGI BURN HIS SANCHIT KARMA'S LIKE A HEATED
UP SEED WILL NOT PRODUSE ANYTHING.
7. Once again we come to the definiton of the self (SWA) and find that
the Atma is merely an observer and hence these houses or UPACHAYA for
reckoning the right to action or exercise of free-will is not at the level
of the Atma and is merely a process of action and reaction of the Mana and
Sareera in this manifested Universe. Thus, this is only to be seen from the
Lagna and especially, the Moon, especially the tenth house from the Moon.
Kalyan Verma (Saravali) has given a very detailed explanation on the
placement of individual planets or groups of them in the tenth from the
Moon. Why is so much importance being given to the Moon for this free-will?
It is the mind where the seed of all action is generated and hence Moon the
Manakaraka is the playground for this Maya to act on. This is what the
Bhagavat Gita teaches "Give the reigns of the horses (of your mind) to
Krishna and see how He shall steer you through the battlefield of life (Life
in the Kali Yuga is viewed as a battle field)". The Rig Veda is very clear
about the generation of this seed of all action in the mind in Vishwamitra's
prayer to Brihaspati:
Suchim-arkair Brihaspatim advareshu namasyate ...
May Brihaspati (the Deva Guru -note my earlier explanation to the importance
of the Diksha Guru and Jupiter) the granter of success (to all our actions -
the term adhvareshu refers to the inviolable principle or the TRUTH that
must prevail like OM TAT SAT) give us good thoughts (that lead to such
actions that are inviolable - the inviolable principle also refers to
holding back such thoughts that lead to such Karma that would violate the
principles of Dharma).
8. It is evident that this concept of free will is limited to the Mana
and that too the Upachaya's i.e. those thoughts that are action related.
Having accepted the limited free will concept, we now come to the method of
Vedic remedial measures called Mantra i.e. Mana + Trai or protection of the
Mana from (a) generating such seeds of evil thought that result in evil
Karma, as well as (b) protecting against the provocation from the
experiences of Past karma that can bring anger, sorrow and passion (Rajas)
and ignorance (Tamas) to dominate the Mana and raise the level of the Mana
to that of the Atma (self realisation).
9. Inder jit, please do not read me wrong when I say this. Vivaha (i.e.
Marriage and its specific form) is destined in the form of an ANUBHAVA and
to say that two people were married for so many births or shall continue
together for so many births is fine if you are a priest solemnising the
marriage but not as a Jyotisha. How the Mana will react to the various
experiences that it is subject to and is so confused about (not having the
knowledge of Prarabdha) is what a Jyotisha should be looking for. This is
where he can guide if he is aware of the pitfalls and troubles that can
result from a mismatch like Kuja Dosha (that was what had started this
thread). I have done lots of studies in this area and unlike others have
also given out a lot of 'so called secrets' related to determination of
circumstances, timing, Lagna of spouse, status of family, details about the
in-laws and possible troubles like mother-in-law problem etc. In fact my
writings in this area are very comprehensive and still, I cannot say with
any certainty that this is the spouse (although I have done this and have
later wondered as to why I was so sure..an inner feeling that I cannot
explain). In fact the Royal family of Agra will vouch on this, when I was
100% sure that the two charts Rani-mata had brought were to get married (I
also gave the time when the boy would agree and what not all). Prasna is a
very vital tool for this.
Thank you again for bearing with my Chandrastama problem..( I see transits
from Natal positions in Navamsa as well). We men are also feminine as we
cannot escape this monthly cycle... HE alone is the Purusha.
TO BE
INTUTIVE IS A GRAET TOOL OF THE ASTROLOGER , AND BY ADMITTING THAT YOU WAS
ABLE TO ANNOUNCE THAT THIS WILL CERTANILY MARRY TO THIS YOU ARE FAVORING MY
ARGUMENTS.
WITH REGARDS TO ALL

Dear Sanjay,
Though it could be done , but still we are in such a stage in astrology that
we cannot prove many things like in science that Hydrogen and oxygen
combined will always make water.People will believe that Astrology is a
science when it will become so.
To match the best horoscopes is a very easy thing and to predict the destiny
which two will marry will depend on very high intuitive capability and
individual capacity, but even if one will try to interfere with the destiny
,one may not succeed.
At least i cannot change the destiny of any individual .
Some Guru astrologers could do that , i doubt.
But Even Krishna could not change the destiny of Arjuna , so no body could
interfere ,we can give mental solace and that is our limit.Same was done by
Lord Krishna by his teaching to Arjuna.
Some times we do predict that these persons are sure to marry , but depends
on parameters and circumstances.
No further debate on this issue , i will not be available to answer being
very busy at the moment with my other activities.
With Regards,
Inder Jit Sahni

Dear Inder Jit,
OK Lets agree with your point that we marry whom we are bound to marry. Fine
So, i will give you one male horoscope and ten female horoscopes and you
have to tell me which one the male married as the marriage is destined/bound
to marry and you know destiny by say some method.
Do you accept this, if not then by using the standard principles of kuja
Dosha etc taught in the texts we can choose the right partner and then after
they marry you can say that they are husband and wife for seven lives and so
on...And even then sometimes the best of astrologers make a mistake.
Best Wishes
Sanjay Rath

"If a person with kuja dosha marries another without Kuja dosha then the
person with Kuja dosha shall suffer. So, you suffered a lot and this has
shown that the Kuja dosha was present and that it worked."
Marriages are decided in heaven and are celebrated on earth is a very common
quote, birth and death are fixed and so fixed are our parents. And if
parents are fixed then by astrology we can only choose to find out a already
fixed match for us to whom we are bond to marry , no choice my dear.
