Lesson 3 -- Responses

[Guest guest]

Namaste, Guru Solaiji,

 

Thank you for Lesson 3.

 

My response to part 1 is in the accompanying text file,

lesson_3_responses.txt.

 

My response to part 2 is in the accompanying BMP file,

bhacakra_nara_nArAyaNa.bmp.

 

I had a few of questions on the lesson:

 

1) Is a divisional chart a 'magnification' or view into a certain

existential scale?

2) How are the Shadripu manifesting on the sub-conscious plane resolved into

view by dividing the D-6 into pieces 5 times smaller?

3) Is the first fundamental division of the bhacakra, implicitly mentioned

on page 3, made by the ascendant/descendant line?

4) Is the sibilant in the word 'Das' in 'Das Avatar' the palatal sibilant?

('sh' ?)

5) Does the term 'Saptama Dwipa' translate roughly as '7th

island/continent'?

6) Is the 'N' in 'Nara' the dental nasal? Also, are the two vowels both

short 'a'?

 

Thank you, Solaiji!

 

Namaste,

Beau

1. The next question is which Graha should be given the over-lordship

of this twelve-fold division or the twelve signs of the zodiac and why?

 

The bhacakra is a band of stars existing about the ravimarga,

i.e., ravi's path defines the bhacakra's central 'axis', or

core -- so the bhacakra is defined by ravi and is therefore the

domain of ravi. As these twelve signs inhabit ravi's realm, they

could be considered to come under his dominion, so I would think

ravi/sUrya is the overlord of the signs.

 

2. Make a schematic representation of the Earth, Bha-Chakra with its

12 spokes and mark out the areas of Nara & Narayana.
