Guest guest Posted January 16, 2005 Report Share Posted January 16, 2005 Hi Ben, I really like all of Dr. Charak's books and recommend them. Yes, it does sound like the sarpa drekkanas are within the nakshatra gandanta of water constellations, except for the Scorpio sarpa drekkanas being the first 2. I see why you are thinking that the Nigala drekkana may be the other drekkanas of the water signs...maybe so. I think that Nigala in Sanskrit means the throat or neck of a horse, but now I am curious too what this could mean! I looked up the drekkanas in Brihat Jataka but see no mention of this word. Are there any other members who know what Nigala Drekkana is?

Guest guest Posted January 20, 2005 Report Share Posted January 20, 2005 Dear friend, Nigala Drekkana is mysteriously useful in deciding suicide cases. It would be useful also to refer to classical text PHALADEEPIKA by Mantreswara regards KAD valist, Juliana Swanson <omhamsa> wrote: > Hi Ben, > > I really like all of Dr. Charak's books and recommend > them. > > Yes, it does sound like the sarpa drekkanas are within > the nakshatra gandanta of water constellations, except > for the Scorpio sarpa drekkanas being the first 2. > > I see why you are thinking that the Nigala drekkana > may be the other drekkanas of the water signs...maybe > so. > > I think that Nigala in Sanskrit means the throat or > neck of a horse, but now I am curious too what this > could mean!
