Guest guest Posted April 22, 1999 Report Share Posted April 22, 1999 Hi Sanjay, Consider a typical yoga like one of the Panch Maha Purusha yogas. Now in your opinion, how would the effects of the yoga differ if in one case we had Venus in his own Rashi and in the other case he enjoyed only (or mostly) Directional Strength. I can understand that Venus having Dik Bala would mean that he in the 4th house so things would largely refer to those matters, whereas in the other cases, it would the effects would be different in the similar manner. But I want to know how the differences in the two strengths manifest. May be you could give an example along with the excellent quotation you have cited from Saravali. Thanks. Siddharth.

Guest guest Posted April 23, 1999 Report Share Posted April 23, 1999 [PLEASE DO NOT PUBLISH THIS ANYWHERE AS IT IS MEANT FOR MY LATEST BOOK ON REMEDIAL MEASURES and this is Exclusively for Gj-list ONLY] Jaya Jagannath Dear Siddharth, Pancha Mahapurusha Yoga's are best understood from the Mahabharata where the Pancha Pandava were the Pancha Mahapurusha. These yoga's obtain from the planets occupying their own signs in quadrants from Lagna (only). Some astrologers extend these to trines and others even extend these to quadrants from the Moon!, but that is not correct. Now, since the criteria is placement in own/exaltation sign, it follows that the STHANABALA or positional strength is implied. As per my earlier post, this automatically requires the strength of the MOON to fructify, and Maharishi Parasara teaches that the MOON represents Bhagawan Sri Krishna. Thus, the Pandava were already born into a Royal family and the sustenance of the Rajyoga required the intervention of the Moon (Sri Krishna). Take the case of the Greatest Archer Arjuna.I don't have his chart, but some inferences can be drawn. Sagittarius should be strong. He was called "INDRAPUTRA" indicating that he was born in HAMSA MAHAPURUSH YOGA. [indra is the Deity of Jupiter {BPHS} and Jupiter should be involved in a Mahapurush yoga in the chart of this Pandava. A strong Piscean influence is also seen in Arjuna's love of dance. Delhi, lying between two river streams is called a "DOAB" (Land between two rivers) and is ruled by Jupiter (Varahamihira). Thus, Sri Krishna advised the Pandava to make a city called "Indraprastha" or the Kingdom of INDRA in this land which ultimately led to their victory. Some astrologers opine that the Dikbala (Directional strength) is to be used for travelling. This is their own theory and shows a lack of appretiation of the Jyotish shastra. Digbala refers to the strength of the planets to direct the four primary directions(Ayana) of life(Nara). These are seen from the four quadrants and represent Dharma (Lagna), Artha (Tenth house, being trines to the second house), Kama (Fourth house) and Moksha (Fourth house as being trines to the 12th house). THE PLANETS GET DIGBALA ONLY IN KENDRA. JUPITER & MERCURY get digbala in the Lagna and become the directing planets for Dharma. SUN & MARS get digbala in the tenth house and become the directing planets for Karma. Saturn gets digbala in the seventh and becomes the directing planet for Kaama whereas MOON & VENUS get digbala in the fourth house and become the directing planets for Moksha. I hope you are not shocked Siddhartha..most students are when this is taught. Shankaracharya said "GATISTWAM GATISTWAM TWAMEKA BHAVANI"..showing that it is only after the blessings of the Divine Mother (Moon) and his own mother could a person progress in this path of Moksha. Sri Krishna (Moon) has time and again emphasised that He may not give money to His Bhakta (i.e. it is His own choise) but that He can give moksha. The Maha Tapaswi (Perfect renunciation/ penance) Yoga is formed when VENUS is influenced by Ketu (Denial) and Saturn (Delay). Thus Venus also becomes an important director for Moksha. This is also the reason why sadhu's are advised to abstain (self denial-Saturn/Ketu) from Sex (Venus) for evolving in this direction. [Please note the terminology "Director" for planets according to their Digbala]. Take my own chart for example. Jupiter is in Lagna in Pisces showing both Sthana Bala & Digbala. I am not going into the detailed meaning of the individual figures and what they mean. However, I have almost never travelled in the North-Eastern direction showing that the interpretation of travelling in the NE direction may not be very apt. You can study the other aspects of Sthana Bala. Let us examine Digbala to determine the direction of life [This is a basic exercise and should not be taken to be conclusive as a person passes through different directions/goals in different times]. DHARMA: Strong as Jupiter has digbala in Lagna. Mercury, is bereft of Digbala and is vargottama. ARTHA: Weak as Sun is in the 8th sign from the tenth house..low digbala as Mars is midway to the tenth house (being in the seventh)..50%. KAAMA: Weak as Saturn is 5 signs away from the seventh and is also low in Digbala. MOKSHA: Strong as Venus is in the sign adjoining the 4th house.Moon is 9 signs from the 4th house and is weak to influence the direction. INFERENCE: Dharma marga indicates the following of the scriptures, Govt. service etc...Others can infer better. Incidentally, the moksha marga became clearer after marriage.

Guest guest Posted April 24, 1999 Report Share Posted April 24, 1999 Dear Sanjay ji On Dil Bala, if the planet does not have dik bala, then in natural course they may not support necessary significations (jupiter/mercury for dharma; mars/sun for artha/karma; saturn for kaama and venus/moon for moksha). 1. However, can other balas compensate the overall strength and can remedial measures help in strengthening these balas. 2. Also (for example- like for my chart) a. jupiter in 12th (has good dik bala) and mercury in 7th has no dik bala- lack of dikbala in mercury might have resulted in weak results during its bhukti (whether for all its matters or only for dharama) b. mars has no dik bala being in 3rd (6th from 10th) and sun has 50% dik bala being in 7th ( does it mean that mars laks strength for karmic/artha related results) c. saturn has presence in 8th hence has some strength for kaama (desire for bhog/materialistic pleasures) d. venus has little dik bala (in 5th from 4th) and moon has Ok dik bala (3rd from 4th); hence venus will not be condusive for moksha related matters. 3. Interestingly, my mercury bhukti made me very religious (in terms of rituals)- where as it was very weak in terms of dikbala regards/Prafulla Gang - SRath <SRath Siddhartha Maheshwary <siddm Cc: GJList <gjlist; SJVC <sjvc > Saturday, April 24, 1999 9:57 AM [sjvc] Re: Dik Bala > [PLEASE DO NOT PUBLISH THIS ANYWHERE AS IT IS MEANT FOR MY LATEST BOOK ON > REMEDIAL MEASURES and this is Exclusively for Gj-list ONLY] > Jaya Jagannath > Dear Siddharth, > Pancha Mahapurusha Yoga's are best understood from the Mahabharata > where the Pancha Pandava were the Pancha Mahapurusha.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 1999 Report Share Posted April 25, 1999 Jaya Jagannath Dear Prafullaji, First you have to get out of that fixation of Vimsottari Dasa. Anyway, Digbala has to do with the direction of life. I don't see you as a Govt. servant etc. Business etc. lines of life are seen from the Artha trikona. Examine the Digbala of the Sun and Mars in your chart. Yes, the Sun is the crucial star promoting your life's direction. This is mixed with the Jupiterin the 12th promoting your Jyotish etc. As regards development of religious thought during Mercury, check the Karakatwa etc. Best Wishes, Sanjay Rath ---------------- You Wrote: - > Dear Sanjay ji > > On Dil Bala, if the planet does not have dik bala, then in natural course > they may not support necessary significations (jupiter/mercury for dharma; > mars/sun for artha/karma; saturn for kaama and venus/moon for moksha). > > 1.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 1999 Report Share Posted April 28, 1999 Dear Prafullaji, The lack of Dikbala only shows a lack of its original directions i.e. a lack of desire for a particular direction in life. Other balas are for other matters as their names signify. In your chart, the seventh placement of Mercury was weak for Dharma i.e. you will not be following your own primciples and will follow another "Gati" as you confirm, this is Moksh Gati. Remedial measures are really meant for strengthening weak planets i.e. to give them "Bala". With Best Wishes, Sanjay Rath.
