LESSON 3

 

Q.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 ?

 

MESHA - Mangal (Kuja)

VRISHABHA - Sukra

MITHUNA - Budha

KARKATA - Chandra

SIMHA - Surya

KANYA - Budha

TULA -Sukra

VRISHIKA - Mangal (Kuja)

DHANU - Guru

MAKARA - Sani

KUMBHA - Sani

MEENA - Guru

 

It was the willing of Lord Vishnu. Lordships are simmetric concerning

the axis Simha - Kumbha (except Simha and Karkata).

 

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

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

 

The whole universal expanse (Narayana) is divided into four parts

(fundamental division of the Bha-Chakra which is a symbolic body of

Narayana). These four parts are called kendras (quadrants).

Three of parts are imperceptible (Maha Vishnu in Satwa Guna,

Param Brahma in Rajas Guna and Sada Shiva in Tamas Guna). The fourth

part is Vasudeva, and one of its two parts is inperceptible (Vasudeva)

and another one is perceptible (Krishna).

 

Regarding the prevailing Guna the Bha-Chakra is divided into three parts,

and such parts are called trikonas (trines).

 

In the two-dimensional presentation of Narayana (percieved form)

we consider a circle of 360 degrees where the radius is

infinite (Narayana), but as Jyotisha we need a finite radius (Nara), and

this approach creates a dual concept Nara-Narayana. This finite radius

is defined by Grahas that can affect human lives. To accomodate two

divisions (3 and 4 parts) in the Bha-Chakra we take the least common

multiple of 3 and 4 and get 12-fold division. The result is a Rasi Chakra

with 360 degrees and 12 Rasi of 30 degrees each. The starting point is

the zero degree of Mesha.
