RE: Surya is krura (Please clear my doubt !!!))

[Guest guest]

||Hare Rama Krsna||

Dear List, Namaskar

Since this forum is meant to give the teachings of the

parampara of Sri Achyuta Dasa, let me clarify this discussion.

 

The first differentiation between planets is Saumya (pleasant,

nice) and Krüra (cruel, harsh). This will tell us whether the planet will give

results through nice/soft means, or through cruel means which can cause sorrow

or anger to others.

Here the parampara follows BPHS blindly, as it has for

many ages.

 

The next differentiation is between subha (auspicious/fortunate)

and paapa (malignant). This differentiation is more relative to the particular

area of life under analysis and the lagna. This is where the term functional

malefic comes from, however is deeper than mere lordships from lagna. I.e. the

sun is considered auspicious in matters of health and dharma, hence it will

support the health of a person and protect the body, as well as sustain the

marriage and increase spirituality.

 

Btw. If you by Sürya Gayatri are talking about Savitur

Gayatri – there is a significant difference between the two – one is

a Graha and the other is a very high form of knowledge.

 

Best wishes,

Re: [Om Krishna Guru]

Please clear my doubt !!!

 

Dear Pranav,

You are free to differ from what I have given as my opinion. However before

making blanket statements about no astrological text calling Surya Krura, will

you care to read BPHS CH.3 Shlokas 11 and 12, which clearly state Surya and

others as Krura. It is also likely that you have some versions not known

generally to Jyotish world about Surya. May I know the edition you are

referring? Perhaps you will care to give reference and quote from Scriptures in

support of your argument about Ladies of all age being permitted to recite

Surya Gayatri, in similar manner. I would like to know why Surya Gayatri is to

be told to son by father in his ear so that no one hears it, at the time of his

Upanayan only. Or is this also not according to scriptures that you refer to?

Dear Chandrasekharji,

Namaskar,

Thankyou for your response.However, I beg to differ

with you.To call" Sun" as a "Krura", is a misnomer.None of

the classical text worth mentioning refers "Sun" as Kroora.Even

Bhattotpala,the illustrious commentator of Brihatjathaka considers Sun as a

natural malefic and not Krura.However, one of the synonyms of Mars is

"Krura".(cruel.)

Your averment that chanting of Gayatri mantra is a

taboo for females is far from truth.Scriptures, abounds with instances of

females practising, gayatri mantra and even achieving "siddi"in

the same.To name a few

Gargi,Maitrayi,Madalasa,Arundhati,Kunthi,Sakhunthala,Devayani,Sita,Sukanya,Parvathy

etc are some among them.

Our ancients had displayed a great deal of rationality

in assigning planetary lordships as well as in the classification of navagrahas

into benefics & malefics.The reason of assigning the Sun as a malefic

is a missing link , whose real truth should be explored by us

collectively. I presume, you too will agree.

Pranav

Dear Pranav,

Sun is considered Krura (Cruel) and not Papa.

Think about why ladies

whose M.C. is on, should not recite Gayatri. The

reason would be self

evident. Think about what happens when Surya is in

dead overhead

position in summer. Is it pleasant to stand under

him?

Namaskar to all members,

We know,that the Sun is the source of all living

beings.Even a plant

cannot grow, without sun's light.In a manner, the

entire Hindu astrology

is based on the motion of the sun.There are some

classical treatise in

jyotish attributed to Sun God.The famous

Varahamihaira begins his

monumental work Brihatjathaka, with invocation in

praise of Sun.Our

scriptures mention Sun as "Suryanarayana' The

famous Gayatri mantra is

an adulation and prayer to Sun.

My doubt is, inspite of all these attributes, why

Sun is considered as a

malefic in Hindu astrology?

Hope members will dispel my doubt.

Hare Krsna

Pranav
