PMsjvcSubject: [sjvc] 1. Lessons in Files here? 2.

Assignments 1-3Dear Gurus & fellow-students1. Lessons in Files: I had just

joined the varahamihira List, & started the first 3 assignments around Thu (my

initiation day, ie 3 days back). I have d to this List today. And was

just going to from varahamihira List, when I realised that the

files section here has no lessons. I attempted printing out the next, ie 4th-

6th lessons to work on the assignments in the evenings this week; but there is

some printing problem whereby an inch of space in the right side does not get

printed. So I want to stick to reading on-line. Could someone include atleast

the first say 5 to 10 lessons or whatever, from the Vrhmihr List to the Files

section of THIS List also. Then we could continue working on the assignments

from the beginning, but on This List. So till this is sorted out, I am not yet

unsubscribing from the Vrhmihir LIst, unless u think I should nevertheless; if

so, shall do so anyway.2. Enclosed assignments 1-3 : Assignment 1: from Nandan

Chakraborty1 Definition of role of God in my life a) To guide me when

I face complicated ethical dilemmas, b) To guide me when I consciously choose

the wrong path2 Deeds done to come closer to God in last 1 year a)

More time (BOTH quality and quantity) spent with family, each of whom, for a

variety of reasons, NOT just due to lack of time, I have been ignoring,b)

Self-abuse: Just gave up drinking yesterday. Gave up non-veg today. Resolved to

reduce smoking sometime,c) Resolved to start following a spiritual life-style3

Relevant statement All is God4 Role of Jyotish vs Role of Priest

Jyotish is ONE specific way of counselling the self & humanity to become more

spiritual, ie by understanding the specific forces that guide, or conversely

impede, that progress. He is specifically barred from playing God. A priest

would strive to do the same thing through other means, specifically including

"playing God"Assignment 2: from Nandan Chakraborty1 Saptam Dwip answered

by Shri Shankaracharya's prayer Understanding the finite (as bounded by

St, the limit of the 7 planets) has the seeds for the next evolutionary stage:

of "understanding" (or what needs to be understood of) Paramatma. Understanding

beyond this finitude not perceptible thru available apparatus granted to us2

Planet overlordship of the 12 zodiacal signs Sn, as primal source of all

manifestation in the "understandable" part of human-sphere3 Areas of Nara

& Narayana in 12 Earth- spokes Just couldn't figure out from the Lesson.

However, a subject-heading while archive-worming gave this out as the Sudarshan

Chakra essentially, with Narayana in the centre & the 3 radial belts wrt Sn, Mn

& Lg being part of Nara. Haven't really understood why the Nara part should be

thus divided, as an answer to THIS questionAssignment 3: from Nandan

Chakraborty1 Dual signs for non-lumes Sn is primal energising (male)

source, which energises the female principle Mn. Thus manifestation starts,

resulting in various planets, which thus have a male & female part each, in the

domains of the Sn & Mn respectively, ie in the 2 horas as described by the

Northern & Sthn ayanas respectively2 Ayanas in Nativity North: Mn,

Jp, Ra, Ve, Sn. S: the other 4 planets. 3 Ayan of Mn in my chart & # days

to change ayan North. Mn is at 15* Pi. So 4.5 signs to go @ 2.25 day/

sign= just over 10 days.4 Mantra in Bha-Chakra Aum, (Howng??,

Jung??), Swaha: Don't know5 Order of week-days wrt order of dweepas &

horas wrt speeds Weekday order: 1st come Sun & Moon, then they allocate

alternately in order of planets next to them in the dweepa order.Horas: exactly

as per slowest to fastest wrt earth, ie St Jp Ma Sn Ve Mc Mn.6 Meaning of

drisya & adrishya signs Visible 7-12= born when Sn is in visible half of

sky: results visible in this material world.Invisible 1-6= born when Sn is not

in visible half of sky: results invisible in this material world.Also,

depending on 1 vs 7 being stronger, the kendras in those halves assume focus in

lifePS For the vedic astrology List: The Internet was down for most of today,

which is why incidentally I sent 2 same messages (on St's MrnSthan)thru my

Lotus-Notes e-mail system, as thot the same earlier mail had not reached.

ApologiesNandan Terms of

Service.
