Om gurave namah

Dear Jyotishi

The following explanation from Sanjay is very useful in understanding the

Arudha. Hope this helps.

Best wishes, Pearl

The "What of the event or the event definition" is intricately linked to

Karma and the cycle of rebirth where the anubhava (experiences) that the

Mana & Atma have to undergo are based on (a) Past Karma manifestation which

is Karma and (b) Iccha Shakti, with the latter being dependant on a host of

factors including Gyana, bhakti and a host of other factors. In Jyotish

terminology, this is the Lagna & Graha factors playing in various signs and

houses (and affecting the experience of the Atma) and in various nakshatra

(and affecting the experiences for the Mana). The Purusha and Chaitanya are

better words to explain this in a nutshell.

The "How of the event" relates to its manifestation in this world. This is

the Arudha lagna and the various Arudha, varnada, Special ascendants and all

other illusionarey bodies including illusionary planets (Upagraha). The how

is linked to the way Prakriti with her three Guna will manifest through the

tatwa etc. The experience will reach the Mana through the five indriya's and

this can be happy or sad depending on our temporal perception of what the

How should have been (the anticipation or expectation of an event or the

natural conditioning for receiving perceptions related to the event). For

example, a person who fells he has done well in an exam finds he has failed,

this news or event reaches him through various possible sources, and the

methodology of these sources influencing his indriyas is the How of the

event.

Finally the When and this is dependant on the Mana or what we call as DASA.

This is what jyotish is all about. The best way is to ask oneself:

happen?

Cutting this short. Just grow on this seed.

Best Wishes

Sanjay
