Combustion-Sailesh & Jagmeet

February 3, 2002

Om Gurave Namah

Namaste Sailesh & Jagmeet,

First of all, all of us are learners, and are prone to mistakes. But not to

worry, because discussions & corrected impressions can give us a firmer grasp

on this complex subject. And Sailesh, I will definitely check out the relevant

sections you've quoted and get back to you.

About the "Combustion" bit, according to the article on this subject in

Varahamihira file section, Gurudeva had categorically stated that all other

planets, even if they are within the given orb and behind the Sun(as viewed

from the earth), except Venus, are NOT combust when retrograde. So, Mercury is

not combust when retrograde. My Mercury is direct, behind the Sun, within 2

degrees from the Sun, and as per the example-case(a), it is combust.

Venus IS combust only when retrograde, as it moves in the opposite direction to other planets.

Now, I hope you are not puzzled by my strange insistence on having my mercury

combust! Please do correct my errors.

And Sailesh, I don’t know about being a good author (thanks & nice of you to say

so), but you are definitely right about stage fright! I never had any problems

winning competitions, but going up the stage to receive the prizes… my, that

really used to give me nightmares!

Regards,

Lakshmi

Namaste Lakshmi,

First & foremost - I am not too confident about my interpretations, SO USE WITH CARE.

As I believe it:

1. Sanjay ji teachs that VE & ME do not get combust unless retrograde.

2. What is true for D-9, also holds good for D-1.

Based on the above, you need not worry reg. the combustion of Me.

Your D1 lagna has JU, MO & SA. Applying the rules for swamsa,(1.2.103), an

excellent author is indicated. (1.2.106) re-confirms it.

But as per 1.2.107, you may not be very eloquent. 1.2.109 re-confirms it, since

SA in lagna give you stage-fright (I remeber you mentioned it in one of the

recent mails).

I request respected Gurus to confirm, or correct, my interpretation.

Best wishes,

Om Gurave Namah Namaste Sailesh, I read the relevant chapters yesterday again. I

do have Jupiter in trines to karakamsa, but in the 9th house, with Ketu. But he

does rule the 5th & 8th houses from karakamsa. I have exalted Mercury(Partha's

right in a way) in the 2nd from karakamsa, with Saturn. But He's got the lowest

shadbala strength and is thoroughly combust in Rasi chart. How to interpret

that? Regards, Lakshmi Shailesh <scchadha (AT) hotmail (DOT) com> wrote:

Dear Partha & Laksmi,

The following Jaimini Sutras, from Ch. 1, Qtr 2, are very relevant to the subject.

Best wishes,

Shailesh Chandra Chadhascchadha (AT) hotmail (DOT) com

SU. 102. If Chandra and Guru are in the Karakamsa or in the 5th from it, the

person will become an author and will live by writing books.

SU. 103. If Chandra and Sukra join Karakamsa or the 5th house from it, the

person becomes an ordinary author.

SU. I 04.-The person becomes still less famous than in the above Sutra if Budha

joins Chandra instead of Sukra in Karakamsa or the 5th from it.

SU. 105.-If Sukra joins Karakamsa, or the 5th from it, the person becomes a

great poet; an eloquent speaker and well versed in poetry and literature.

SU. I06.If Guru joins the Karakamsa or the 5th from it, he will be an all-round

man and will know many branches of knowledge, well read in sciences and author

of various works. He becomes a versatile genius.

SU. 107.-In the above combination of Guru, though a person becomes learned he

will not become a good speaker nor possess powers of eloquence.

SU. 108.-If Guru joins Karakamsa or the 5th from it, the person becomes learned

in Vyakarana or Grammar, Vedic literature and Vedangas.

Om Gurave Namah Namaste Partha, I agree that Mercury must be strong for

communication, but for creating immortal "master pieces" in writing, perhaps

strong Jupiter is necessary. Regards, Lakshmi Your use of is
