Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Members, I´ve been looking over Shrila Prabhupada´s chart and I feel strongly about my comments earlier. In the Capricorn chart, he would have to have had several older siblings, including a brother. It seems difficult to get around this. In the chart with Sagittarius lagna, exalted Saturn in the 11th would have limited the number of older siblings, and Venus in Virgo would have held sway over the gender neutral Saturn and given a sister as an older sibling. I welcome comments. We have to get to the bottom of this. Dharmapada Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 10, 2001 Report Share Posted October 10, 2001 Namaste, I know several natives who are the firstborns in their families of origin who have multiple planets in their 11th house that need not indicate older siblings. In fact I am doing someone's chart now who has Mo-Me-Ve in 11th. He is eldest & has many female friends & has good luck with finances. My father is eldest & he is wealthy & has three planets in eleventh too. 11th house can signify friends & paternal uncle & side ventures. So I think we need to look at many other issues here for Prabhupad besides 11th-sib issues. I am happy to go deeper too, yes! So count me in on going deeper with anyone on this list on any of these Vaisnavan Saints & Gurus. I was thinking of doing my "spiritual jyotish thesis" on Prabhupad anyway. I am not working too much this month so I am hoping to quickly page through Prabhupad's 2000 page biography again in hopes of making a long list of key dates in his life for any of us who are interested in finetune-rectify this lovely mystery more intricately. On my deepest levels, however, I personally don't really care if Prabhupad's lagna is Sag or Cap. He is who He is, (God Realized Saint-Guru, my Spiriual Father) but it feels very auspicious & blissful studying his life & energies of his charts even if we work with it as an elevated form of speculative Eye Of Vedics science. Studying saints can & does help me & any of us who are still groping in maya! I know Prabhupad had a few jyotihsis working on his chart even in his final years, i.e. if it was advisable for him to travel to Vrindavan in his frail medical state, but the higher truth is that he dovetailed everything in his life in Devotion. I am still learning & practicing how to offer as much of my 24-7-365 in devotion, even if it includes this rectification of Prabhupad's charts. I personally find studying the charts of various Saints & spiritualists extremely powerful tools for my own sadhana & ever deepening faith. I do not know who Prabhupad's jyotishis were, but would like to know that info too if anyone knows, including the birth data of the jyotihis! As we study more & more saintly natives committed to the spiritual path we are better able to see jyotish for what it could be, the Divine Clock of spiritual jyotish, a spiritual service that can perhaps give us a deeper clues to our own stumbling blocks & stepping stones along the Journey of opening to Brahman Realization, Paramatma Realization & Bhaghavan Realization. It lets us know where we may yet be incomplete in our own spiritual process & where we might yet go to purify our consciousness & conquer Maya. I also recall thta KN Rao in several of his books cautioning jyotishis about trying to do the charts of God Realized Saints who have largely transcended Maya while here physically.

As I mentioned, the placement of the Lord of the eleventh points to female siblings, and so essentially your argument for an older brother appears to be based solely on the aspect of Mars to the eleventh. Such an overly simplistic principle will not be correct 100% of the time (see example below). > > In the chart with Sagittarius lagna, exalted Saturn in the 11th would > have limited the number of older siblings, and Venus in Virgo would > have held sway over the gender neutral Saturn and given a sister as > an older sibling. > Fine, but just because an obvious affliction on the eleventh is not present, it does mean that elder siblings will be numerous. On the other hand, I can give you charts with Saturn in the eleventh where elder siblings do exist. Please see the following chart, which is accurate: ******************************************************* ** * * ** * * KET * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * LEO* * GEM* * * VIR** **TAU * * * * LAG * * * * * * * * * * * * * * MOO * * * * * VEN * * * * * CAN * * * * * * * * * * PLU LIB * ARI * * * * * JUP * * * * * CAP * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * SCO** **PIS * * * SAG* * AQU* SUN * * * * * * * * * SAT * * * * * * URA MAR * * MER * * * * NEP * * RAH * * ** * * ** ******************************************************* The mulatrikona presence of natural and functional benefic (female) Moon on the eleventh in a female sign, unaspected by any other planet should, going by the logic you apply to Prabhupada's chart, have given the native of this chart, a couple of elder sisters. However, this is the chart of my younger brother and there are only two of us. Clearly the presence of the eleventh lord in a male sign with a male planet has modified the results. Instead, the chart indicates that the Moon may be prominent in my chart, which it is. It is my atmakaraka, and occupies the Lagna in a parivartana yoga with the Sun. So predicting elder brother's from the Capricorn chart, simply because Mars's aspects his own eleventh is clearly an overly simplistic model of a jyotish principle, and therefore of life itself. If you apply the same logic in the Capricorn chart, as I have in my brother's chart (namely paying attention to the eleventh lord), then elder sister's are indicated. I'm not saying this is a foolproof method. Rather I'm pointing out that the basis of your argument is weak, as it relies on one single aspect alone.

Well, the chart which you offer as an example below is, of course, different from Shrila Prabhupada's chart. I am not being oversimplistic, I am employing good judgement specific to the Capricorn chart. It is you who have oversimplified in the interpretation of your brother's chart. In his chart, Mars the bratru-karaka occupies a dushthana sixth with Saturn. This limits the number of siblings, apparently to one, and has given an " either or " situation in regard to gender. And the sibling won't be younger because third-lord Mercury sits in the eighth. While it is true that a weak moon sits in the house of older brothers, as you have mentioned, the 11th lord sits in a masculine sign with amasculine planet. In addition, Bratru-karaka sits in a masculine sign with the gender-neutral saturn. I admit that it is a close call, but the masculine predominence can be understood. > > > > In the chart with Sagittarius lagna, exalted Saturn in the 11th would > > have limited the number of older siblings, and Venus in Virgo would > > have held sway over the gender neutral Saturn and given a sister as > > an older sibling. > > > > Fine, but just because an obvious affliction on the eleventh is not present, > it does mean that elder siblings will be numerous. No, but in the Capricorn chart, they would be. Consider the following: there is nothing really ugly in relation to dushthanas come into play, no limiting factor of Rahu or Saturn, but there is an aspect from the house's own lord and bratru-karaka from a benefic house with an exalted moon which has some paksha bala to it. A very fruitful situation is present in relation to the eleventh and brothers in general in the Capricorn chart. There would have to be older brothers and sisters in that chart. On the other hand, I can > give you charts with Saturn in the eleventh where elder siblings do exist. Of course, all factors have to be taken into consideration. I have done that well and given justification. In general, the overwhelming judgement in relation to Saturn is that he is the planet of limitation and delay. I didn't look at one single aspect, I made quite a few comments. I really think that you oversimplified in your comments on both charts, as I have just pointed out. The fact that Shrila Prabhupada only had one older sister is justified in the Sagittarius chart, but this is not justifiable in the Capricorn chart at all. And this is not hard to see-I haveexplained why. YS, Dharmapada Dasa > Please see the following chart, which is accurate: > > ******************************************************* > ** * * ** > * * KET * * * * > * * * * * * > * * * * * * > * * * * * * > * * LEO* * GEM* * > * VIR** **TAU * > * * * LAG * * * > * * * * * * > * * * * * MOO * > * * * * VEN * * > * * * CAN * * * > * * * * * * > * PLU LIB * ARI * > * * * * JUP * * > * * * CAP * * * > * * * * * * > * * * * * * > * * * * * * > * * * * * * > * SCO** **PIS * > * * SAG* * AQU* SUN * > * * * * * * > * * SAT * * * * > * * URA MAR * * MER * * > * * NEP * * RAH * * > ** * * ** > ******************************************************* > > The mulatrikona presence of natural and functional benefic (female) Moon on > the eleventh in a female sign, unaspected by any other planet should, going > by the logic you apply to Prabhupada's chart, have given the native of this > chart, a couple of elder sisters.

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2001 Report Share Posted October 12, 2001 Om Krsnaaya Namah Dear Dharmapada, Hare Krsna! Thank you for your comments. Here we go: > > > Purushottama Dasa, > Not actually my name, but that is what I aspire to be - "Servant of the Supreme Person" :-) > > In his chart, Mars the bratru-karaka occupies a dushthana sixth with > Saturn. This limits the number of siblings, apparently to one, and > has given an " either or " situation in regard to gender. > Firstly there are different opinions on who is the karaka for elder siblings - Mars or Jupiter. I have seen both work sometimes in my research, and don't have a strong fixed opinion on this yet. But assuming for argument's sake it is Mars, as you say, does the one or two negative influence on the karaka of siblings overwhelm the benefic influences on the eleventh and it's lord? Such limitations may also be found in the Capricorn chart, where the eleventh Lord who is also Mars, is associated with the Moon, and this being a Krsna Navami birth, the Moon is a malefic as per standard Parasari astrology. > And the sibling won't be younger because third-lord Mercury sits in > the eighth.

This logic applies in total to Srila Prabhupada's chart, and explains a sister - the eleventh lord and Mars (same thing) sits in a female sign with a strong female planet. So the idea of an elder brother is contradicted by this fact, as it is in my brother's chart, and therefore it is a close call in Prabhupada's chart, and feminine predominance can be understood in the Capricorn Lagna also. > > No, but in the Capricorn chart, they would be.

But the overwhelming opinion of millenia of astrological experience, as well as Parashara Rishi's affirmation, point to Mars as the Bratru karaka. Now here you haven't gotten the karaka straight, which a minimum of experience confirms, and you are writing on some pretty deep stuff here. I am becoming uncomfortable with our discussion. Snip > This was my point. This logic applies in total to Srila Prabhupada's chart, It does not. In your brother's chart, there is obvious justification for only one sibling, that is where the one-or-the other situation arose, such that a brother resulted. In the Capricorn lagna chart, both the Moon as well as Mars would have manifested their tendencies unhindered, there would have been birth of both brothers and sisters. > and explains a sister - the eleventh lord and Mars (same thing) sits in a > female sign with a strong female planet.

The moon was at near-enough to half of its brightness, exalted and in the Capricorn chart in the fifth house, a trine. And you define the Moon as a natural malefic and stipulate that its influence is a limiting factor on older siblings? I keep running across sub-standard interpretation with you, and it is as exasperating as it is flabbergasting. I am sorry to criticise this way publicly, but the chart is an important one and, on the internet, one's comments simply have to stand or fall based on their ownmer it. I think that we'll have to say that you feel that Capricorn is the lagna for Shrila Prabhupada as a person who " interprets " the way you do, and then say that anyone who wants to agree with you is more than welcome.

Just because one does not agree with you, does not mean they are necessarily wrong. With regards to the "deep stuff" - In my discussion with you, I have deliberately mentioned only the planets, signs, houses and planetary aspects in the rasi chart - the bare bones of jyotish - because I knew that you would say I was using "deep stuff" and "sub-standard interpretation" if other techniques were used. In my discussion with Robert Koch, I have mentioned concepts such as arudha's, rasi drishti's and vargas, because Robert asked me to consider these, and being his student, I know he has experience with these techniques and so can guide me in their use. It has all been Parasari jyotish, and I reiterate the fact that in my discussion with you, I have used the very basics of jyotish. So I fail to see where, "deep stuff" has come into it, especially when I have supported my points with quotes from jyotish sastras where I felt it was necessary. Personally I see some of the arguments you make as being too shallow - the eighth house is just evil, the aspect of Mars and his association with the Moon guarantees a brother etc. Simple rules like this do not always work on most charts. The eighth is very often involved in *sudden* rise to power, in the horosopes of spiritualists etc. Furthermore, you still haven't answered answered my question on the (lack of) weakness of the seventh house in the Sag chart resulting in marital failure. In the Cap chart, it is obvious. The seventh Lord, though exalted is in conjunction with malefic Mars, and is in Bala avastha. The exaltation simply prolonged the length of marriage. Saturn also aspects the seventh, and so when Saturn dasha came, and Saturn returned to his natal place in transit, marriage broke down. Show me such explicit weakness of the seventh and seventh Lord in the Sag chart. > > It does not. In your brother's chart, there is obvious justification > for only one sibling, that is where the one-or-the other situation > arose, such that a brother resulted. > In the Capricorn chart where I see Jupiter as weak karaka for elder siblings, a limit on the number is placed.

This does contributute to the limitation of elder siblings, but allowed the existance of an elder sister, whereas a hard malefic like Rahu, or Saturn would have prevented it completely. > I keep running across sub-standard interpretation with you, and it is Which bits of my interpretation? In my first post on this topic, I stuck strictly to signs, planets, houses, and the rasi chart. Robert asked me to look deeper into the charts, which I did in my posts directed to him, but in my discussion with you, it has been the basics. As I've said, I consider some of your points to be "sub-standard" as well. Peace in Krsna-Bhakti!

Purushottama, None of the Vedic classics project this view, and through the millenia the Hindu astrologers who have tweaked Vedic astrology have not found this to be the case. So the rest of the list members may note that your case partially rests on the authority of Hart de Fouw and James Braha. > > Now here you haven't gotten the karaka straight, which a minimum of > > experience confirms, and you are writing on some pretty deep stuff > > here.

Just because one > does not agree with you, does not mean they are necessarily wrong. On the experience of the main body of Hindu astrologers throughout the millenia and the classics, I disagree. Jupiter can't maintain any status as a significator of older brothers. With > regards to the "deep stuff" - In my discussion with you, I have deliberately > mentioned only the planets, signs, houses and planetary aspects in the rasi > chart - the bare bones of jyotish Bare bones, no. That concept will lead you to overvalue secondary indicators and make mistakes. Here is something that I wrote once- " It is important that that the navamsha and other subdivisions do not exactly jump up and contradict indications in the main chart. Rather, they are secondary, helpful for making decisions on the margin. Dr. B.V. Raman confirms this in the purport of the 32th verse, 27th chapter of Prashna Marg, wherein he states: ' Further, the navamsha may be referred to only when the rashi ( sign placement ) is satisfactory. Here, since the rashi ( main ) chart itself does not ensure happiness ( Happiness was the prasna question in this case ), the navamsha may be shelved. ' Keep in mind that Dr. Raman is an astrologer who, throughout the long run of his literary career, had always considered navamsha position. In all of his books the navamsha is printed right alongside the the main chart, and its indications are examined. The same format has been followed in his astrological magazine, which he has been editing for more than a half a century now. So when a man such as this tells us that, when the sign consideration in the main chart does not support a certain consideration that the navamsha doesn't have the authority to change things, then we don't want to take such advise lightly." If you can't account for the fact that the Capricorn chart indicates various older siblings, including a brother; and if you can't tell the difference a vipreet effect and an affliction; and if you can't tell the difference between a Guru Chandala yoga and a combination for Moksha in the rashi chakra, then what are you going to substantiate in the secondary charts? Your interpretation has not been alonggenerally accepoted lines. It really seems as if you are having to grab things off the wall in order to justify your opinions. I am sorry to be so adamant, but Hindu astrology has been conserved the way that the maha rishis gave it to us millenia ago. That is because the Hindus have been careful with it. If we do the way that you are doing, then we'll lose it before a century goes by. You're almost as bad as the gypsies with the tarot cards.

Supported by Hart deFouw and James Braha is enuf to comprehend urself. Hmm, intersting:-) Here u go: Ref:vedic astrology/message/8326 I am pasting it again. <start>The word in the tradition itself is "adhikaara". Even recent teachers of Vedic shaastras, such as Adi Shankara and SaayaNa, discuss this term at length: Who has adhikaara, who doesn't? Who grants to any such a "powerful priviledge"? And the shaastras are quite clear on this issue: one who sincerely engages in yogic saadhanaa and really practices the particular subject is granted "adhikaara" on the subject in due time by his peers. Mere readers, writers, and translators have no authority on the subject. I feel that this social rule, common in any field of human activity, stems from the declarations of Taittiriya upanishad, chapter 1. Max Muller and his peers were notable for violating this rule. Hence the current muddle in the English west with respect to Vaidika shaastras.</start> Best Regards, Venkat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
