Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 ||Om Brihaspataye Namah|| Dear Vishnu, Thats an excellent suggestion and I also hope that the Gurus/learned members would share this input on (garb)adhana lagna which is supposed to be the most accurate of all the three lagnas. Obviously, I wont ask you how you got the adhana lagna for yourself (smile) but I am rather curious to know your definition for the same because the time of conjugal union and the time of fertilization of the ovum by the spermatozoa can be different, differing in margin by as much as 7 days. Another suggestion: many members use web access; so can you please repost the two jhd charts in text format directly inside the mail? regards Hari vedic astrology, Vishnu Jandhyala <jvk1305> wrote: > Dear friends, > > I have gone through as many books as i could get my > hand on but to my surprise i came across only one book > in which Adhana(conception) was discussed and that too > a case that was recorded in the 1840's(Jaimini Sutra > by Prof.P.S.Sastry).

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2003 Report Share Posted October 14, 2003 Dear Mr.Hari, Good question! Prof.Sastry in his book has defined Adhana as the time of coitus/union and i have also seen the same definition by Sri Iranganti Rangacharya(Jaimini Sutramritam). I have simply followed them(winks!) I have pasted the adhana chart followed by mine below for the convenience of others. thanks Vishnu Adhana Chart:- adhana Natal Chart July 4, 2003 Time: 2:00:00 am Time Zone: 5:00:00 (West of GMT) Place: 89 W 24' 04", 43 N 04' 23" Madison, Wisconsin, USA Altitude: 863.00 meters Lunar Yr-Mo: Subhanu -

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 ||Om Brihaspataye Namah|| Dear Vishnu, Thanks for your reply. If I have understood it correctly, you are giving the adhana lagna and would like to know when the child would be born, is it not? And you are giving your chart for cross- reference (Did you get married during Ra-Ve?). Now, by a strange coincidence, I was reading the first chapter of Satyacharya's principles and therein, there are three definitions given for the birth lagna. It is clearly mentioned that the first definition (ie garbadhana lagna) should be taken as the correct birth lagna but in the absence of correct information, the time when the child is actually delivered (touching the earth) can be taken as the birth lagna. Even here there is a bit of controversy (umbilical cord, first breath or cry etc). But Satyacharya clearly mentions that the garbadhana lagna should be given preference over the other types of birth lagna! So what is the need for predicting child birth, when the time of birth is known?!! If we take the time of birth to be the time when the atman (soul) enters into the lady's womb (usually at the time of conjugal union? and usually via the father?), then you already have the chart for the child! After a brief scan at the chart you have provided for the adhana lagna, I am a bit concerned at the presence of Gullika in the first house and Rahu & Mandi in the 2nd house respectively. Let us see what Shri Ramadas has to say about this as he is an expert in these areas. Lets hope that the Gurus are able to educate us on this fascinating case study. regards Hari vedic astrology, Vishnu Jandhyala <jvk1305> wrote: > Dear Mr.Hari, > > Good question! > > Prof.Sastry in his book has defined Adhana as the time > of coitus/union and i have also seen the same > definition by Sri Iranganti Rangacharya(Jaimini > Sutramritam).

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Om Gurave namah Dear hari The words Nisheka and adhana have been used loosely in the context mentioned. Nisheka is the time of union and adhana is the time of fertilisation of the ovum or the start of pregnancy. As you said, the times can be different and to this I fully agree as it is an established scientific fact. By using Nisheka for adhana calculations, the late Santanam has perhaps, overlooked this vital fact.

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Dear Hari, No, I got married in Ra-Me(July 1, 1999).

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 om sarvamohinyai vidmahe viçvajananiyai dhémahi tannaù çakti pracodayät| Dear Vishnu, Finally Hari has put on my head.( Smile ).Now let me take your chart first.I have rectified your birth time as 19 : 42 : 04 Hrs.Now Lagna is Vrischika and 5th lord is Guru who is Vakra in 2nd house.So Guru can give the results of 2nd as well as 1st house.Guru is in the nakshatra of poorvashada nakshatra ruled by Shukra who has been aspected by Guru itself and Kuja is also with Shukra.Shukra indicates female child.Also both Shukra and Kuja are in Aridra ruld by Rahu who is in Makara which indicates also a female.But as Rahu is a node,he may create trouble in progenic issues.Your natural Atma Karaka Surya is exalted in Mesha along with Budha but is 6th from Lagna and 5th from Guru.In D-7 chart, Lagna is Simha and 5th is occupied by Chandra indicating a female child as first issue.At present rahu Dasa- Shukra's Antara running and both are in Shashtashtaka to each other.but from Guru ® ,Shukra is in 7th.So Guru will try to help you.The time of copulation was during Surya's Pratyantara and Surya is in 5th from Guru ® and is in 11th from Shukra the Antara Lord.So by looking into these,I can tell you that there is a possibility of a female child .But I have a doubt as both Guru ® and its nakshatra dispositor Shukra both are in Dwiswabhava Rasi,there may be possibilty of twin children. Now let me come to Adhana Lagna.Adhana Lagna is Mesha and 4th is occupied by exalted Guru.5th is again occupied by Chandra.agna lord Kuja is in 11th but in a enemical house.5th lord Surya is in 3rd but afflicted by Shani and Shukra who are his enemies.Surya is also in the Nakshatra of Aridra ruled by Rahu and and Rahu is in 2nd house exalted.Now let me come to Navamsha chart.Surya is in Meena Rasi which is going to be exalted,Chandra is in his own house,Kuja is exalted,Shukra is in Vrischika Navamsha.Now eventhough Kuja is exalted Shani is also there.Now in Brihat Jataka of Varaha Mihira,he says Garbhadana is done by Surya,Chandra,Kuja and Shukra.He also says during Garbhadana time,if these planets are in Swa navamsha ie.,in their own house ( Not Vargothama ),then there will be garbhadana.In your case, Surya is going to be exalted and so it is powerful,Chandra in his own Navamsha,Kuja is exalted but Shukra is in Vrischika navamsha .So in this case actually Kuja is afflicted by Shani ,so 6th month will be critical for the pregnancy.Worshipping of Godess Durga will help in reducing the evil effects.Also the afflicting planet is Shani,chanting of Sri Vishnu Sahasra naama Stotra daily will be of great help. I also Pray Lord Krishna and Mother Bhuvaneshwari to Bless you with a child. With Sri Bhuvaneshwari Naama Smarana, Ramadas Rao. vedic astrology, Vishnu Jandhyala <jvk1305> wrote: > Dear Mr.Hari, > > Good question! > > Prof.Sastry in his book has defined Adhana as the time > of coitus/union and i have also seen the same > definition by Sri Iranganti Rangacharya(Jaimini > Sutramritam).

Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 Dear Sanjay Rath, Hare Rama Krsna! How then can we calculate the fortunes of the pregnancy if we have to calculate from time of fertilisation which is in no way possible to determine by ordinary means? One cannot put a clock timing on fertilisation, however to time the coitus is possible. It doesn't make sense to me, to accept adhana lagna as time of fertilisation, and calculate the pregnancy from there, unless you give us a method to determine astrologically at what time fertilisation will take place given the timing of coitus. See the logic: if coitus doesn't take place, then there will be no chance of a pregnancy, thus coitus is the direct cause of pregnancy and the time of coitus is taken for determining the fortunes of pregnancy, and to determine the possible birth time. How else will we see adhana lagna? >The words Nisheka and adhana have been used loosely in the context >mentioned. Nisheka is the time of union and adhana is the time of >fertilisation of the ovum or the start of pregnancy. >As you said, the times can be different and to this I fully agree as it >is an established scientific fact. By using Nisheka for adhana >calculations, the late Santanam has perhaps, overlooked this vital fact. It looks like a similar controversial point like what is actually the time of birth. May Jupiter enlighten us. Yours, Dhira Krsna dasa, Jyotisha http://www.radhadesh.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 16, 2003 Report Share Posted October 16, 2003 ||Om Brihaspataye Namah|| Dear Shri Chandrasekhar, My apologies for the mistake; I had mixed up with time for ovulation and time of release into fallopian tubes which can be upto 7 days. I did an internet search and found that sperm can survive for upto 6 hours (depending on rate of dehydration) outside the human body and upto 48 hours inside the human body. Dear Shri Dhira Krsna, Interesting posts by you on this topic. Thanks. In Satya Jataka, three reference times are mentioned for calculating the birth lagna. Now my question is why did the sages mention these times? If they were not important, they would not have bothered to dictate it in the best interests of brevity. Moreover Satyacharya says that "in the absence of information concerning the first two times, the third time may be taken for calculating the birth lagna". That means, in terms of accuracy, there is an order and if the adhana lagna is known, what is the need to predict childbirth? That is, the child is already born! As Sanjay and Chandrasekhar have pointed out, there is a need for clarifying the semantics of nisheka and adhana. I dont buy your logic that there has to be conception following after conjugal union. If that were the case, we would be assured of a 100% strike rate each time we have coitus! When does the atman (soul) reincarnate? Does the atman enter the womb at the time of conjugal union or at the time of fertilization of the egg? These are the questions to be resolved. regards Hari Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 17, 2003 Report Share Posted October 17, 2003 Dear Hari, If I may extend you logic, does every successful fertilisation lead to child birth? Obviously, not. This topic can get murkier as you dig deep into it, no wonder, its hardly discussed. Just as death is end of life........birth is the end of adhana. I would like to believe that adhana chart is used for predicting the course of pregnancy until birth. You are right when you say not every conjugal union lead to fertilisation, but if you refer to Sri Ramadasa Rao's post where he has quoted the Brihat Jataka....there must also be conditions in the adhana chart to develop into a full pregnancy just as there must be conditions in a birth chart for sustenance. warm regards, Vishnu --- onlyhari <onlyhari wrote: > ||Om Brihaspataye Namah|| > > Dear Shri Chandrasekhar, > > My apologies for the mistake; I had mixed up with > time for ovulation > and time of release into fallopian tubes which can > be upto 7 days.

In the 1st month,there is only some formation of Pinda or irregular shape is ruled by Shukra,2nd month,it becomes hard and is controlled by Kuja,in the 3rd month,body parts will grow and this is lorded by Guru,the 4th month ,bones will grom and is lorded by Surya.In the 5th month,skin will form and this is lorded by Chandra,the 6th month,hairs and other body parts will form and movement inside Garbha Kosha or Uterus will start and this is controlled by SHANI,in the 7th month, the organs connected to Jnaana or knowledge ie., central nervous system inside brain will grow and this is lorded by Budha,in the 8th,it is controlled by garbha Lagnadhipathy,9th month is controlled by Chandra and finally the 10th month or delivery period is controlled by Surya.Here again the reason for the lordships for 8th,9th and 10th months are given in Lagna Chandrika and as per that during 8th month,the child inside mother's Garbha Kosha will get the food from mother through a channel or Naala.Also there will be blood circulation between mother and child through this Naala or channel and for this Garbha Lagnadhipaty is responsible and it says it ill be difficult to find out this lordship unless we know the Garbhadhana timing.In the 9th month,mother gets sensation of delivery and this is lorded by Chandra and finally in the 10th month ie., 9 days after completion of 9th month delivery takes place and this is lorded by Surya.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 || Jaya Jagannath || Dear Hari, You said When does the atman (soul) reincarnate? Does the atman enter the womb at the time of conjugal union or at the time of fertilization of the egg? However what bothers me is more basic and fundamental to this. We know that sperm lives and dies, ovum lives and dies. If that's true, probably they have an Atma when they are living. Was their two Atma in them or one! If we apply logic, we say two. What happens when they unite? One of the atma goes where? When does the atma of the child comes to the fertilised egg? Gurudev says that the atma (Sun) is contributed by father (Sun - through sperm), whereas the body (Moon) is contributed by Mother (Moon- through Egg). If this is so then only sperm contains Atma and Egg doesnot. If egg does not contain atma, it should be dead! Hmm... we are stuck... But, bottomline is that how do we say what contains atma and what doesnot!

As per the standard texts the beeja is the sperm i.e.sun and the soil is the ova.

Guest guest Posted October 18, 2003 Report Share Posted October 18, 2003 Dear Hari, Hari Om Tat Sat >In Satya Jataka, three reference times are mentioned for calculating the >birth lagna. Now my question is why did the sages mention these times? I haven't read this book. Can you clarify more on which three reference times are mentioned there? Is adhana lagna the first? Indeed, if that one is known then a correct birth lagna can be predicted, and interpretations on the life of the newborn (even if not yet born...) can be made from there. > As Sanjay and Chandrasekhar have pointed out, there is >a need for clarifying the semantics of nisheka and adhana. Sure, a valid point. >I dont buy your logic that there has to be conception following >after conjugal union. If that were the case, we would be assured of >a 100% strike rate each time we have coitus! That's not what I have said. What I meant is that if A (coitus) does not take place, then C (pregnancy) is not possible, unless we have a case of the Holy Ghost. Of course, A is not enough to make C happen, like you say. At the same time, B (the right time - dasha) is necessary. So that's my logic: A + B = C, and if either A or B is absent, then pregnancy does not occur. Also, B is not able to cause C alone, and thus A is the direct cause of pregnancy. >When does the atman (soul) reincarnate? Does the atman enter the womb at >the time of conjugal union or at the time of fertilization of the egg? >These are the questions to be resolved. The atma is already present in the sperm before the coitus takes place, and starts developing his/her new body after conception - fertilisation of the ovum. That's the statement of the Vedic sastra (Bhagavata Purana e.a.). Without soul, life is not possible, and ultimately, it is the soul which starts the new body with the help of Paramatma, Supersoul. So basically, the soul is already present before coitus, but yes, that may be another controversial point, since the actual start of development of the new body is with fertilisation. But how to time that....? It is not visible externally. I guess great Rishis will have to enlighten us.

Guest guest Posted October 19, 2003 Report Share Posted October 19, 2003 Dear Sarajit, >If this is so then only sperm contains >Atma and Egg doesnot. If egg does not contain atma, it should be dead! Everything animate or inanimate contains soul, however most of these are not allotted to the human body, and thus remain in the life-form of sperm or egg. Every cell of our body has a soul inside, yet their consciousness is so covered that they hardly realize they're living, but they're there. As such there are billions and billions of atma's around us all the time. Yours, Dhira Krsna dasa, Jyotisha http://www.radhadesh.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 20, 2003 Report Share Posted October 20, 2003 Dear Sarajit and Hari and list mebers, I can answer this question according to the understanding I have gained from Srila Prabhupada's books. Every living thing has a soul. So you have a soul as does an animal, fish, tree, plant, insect , bacteria etc. Even each cell in your body has a sepaerate soul! Each cell has a begining, middle and end. So the millions of sperm continually produced by a man each have a soul. And the many ovums within a woman each have a soul. Now the souls (covered by the subtle body) fall into this planet undetected through the rain and into the ground. And therefore eventually into the foodstuff we eat. And eventually enter our sperm/ovum. Only one lucky soul (ie within the sperm) eventually gains control of the human body. So when the sperm and ovum unite the soul that was within the sperm becomes the predominant one. And as the whole embryo develops each new cell that is created a seperate soul enters. But the souls within the cell are not predominating over the whole organism. Only one soul has this predominant control. So in this way you can understand this fundamental point. Everyone who is reading this must realise that we were the lucky sperms! But also luck is not involved it is Karma. And we probably have been unlucky sperms, bacteria, plants, pigs etc in previous lives. So lets not misuse this human birth! Best wishes Kasim !

Guest guest Posted October 22, 2003 Report Share Posted October 22, 2003 || Jaya Jagannath || Dear Kasim, Thank you for the response. But this generates further questions. Please follow them below the concerned points you mentioned. Best Wishes Sarajit Kasim [kasim_ch] Monday, October 20, 2003 7:00 PM vedic astrology [vedic astrology] Re: Adhana Lagna and Prediction of child birth. Dear Sarajit and Hari and list mebers, I can answer this question according to the understanding I have gained from Srila Prabhupada's books. Every living thing has a soul. So you have a soul as does an animal, fish, tree, plant, insect , bacteria etc. [[sarajit]] What about non living things. What is living and what is not? Is Virus living? Scientists say that Virus becomes non-living outside a living body (lets say human or animals) and becomes living when inside a body. The first living organisms which scientists say coacervates hardly lived and were a mere collection of compounds called the amino acids. If we say that each cells contain a soul, can a soul be there within, in the elements, in the atoms, in the electrons and even smaller. Can there be soul when we go bigger, in a planet, in the solar system, in a galaxy, in a universe. This makes us ponder more and more. Who knows like we have cells in the body which also contains souls, we are also like cells of some bigger body and we have a soul. Probably the bigger body has a higher consciousness and predominance than what we do just like our cells in our body. So my questions be "is there soul in so called non-living things" Even each cell in your body has a sepaerate soul! Each cell has a begining, middle and end. [[sarajit]] This is also true for so called non living things. You might be knowing that stars also take birth and die. Do they have souls. So the millions of sperm continually produced by a man each have a soul. And the many ovums within a woman each have a soul. [[sarajit]] I agree. But try answering the above questions. Now the souls (covered by the subtle body) fall into this planet undetected through the rain and into the ground. And therefore eventually into the foodstuff we eat. And eventually enter our sperm/ovum. [[sarajit]] I think this is covered in one of the Upanishads. But the fundamental question remains. What contains soul and what not? Only one lucky soul (ie within the sperm) eventually gains control of the human body. So when the sperm and ovum unite the soul that was within the sperm becomes the predominant one. And as the whole embryo develops each new cell that is created a seperate soul enters. But the souls within the cell are not predominating over the whole organism. Only one soul has this predominant control. So in this way you can understand this fundamental point. [[sarajit]] Try answering the others :-) Everyone who is reading this must realise that we were the lucky sperms! But also luck is not involved it is Karma. And we probably have been unlucky sperms, bacteria, plants, pigs etc in previous lives. So lets not misuse this human birth! Best wishes Kasim !

Guest guest Posted October 23, 2003 Report Share Posted October 23, 2003 Dear Sarajit prabhu, All glories to Srila Prabhupada. Please accept my humble obeisances. Thank you for your nice questions. Actually by searching and pondering in this way you are actually using real intelligence. Your main query is whether there is a soul in apparently non-living things such as stars/mountains/water/atoms etc. Actually its first important to understand that a soul is a spirit part and parcel of the supreme lord. It is one of the lords energies. The whole material manifestation is also simply another one of the energies of God. So even all the material energy you can think of finds its source from the Supreme Lord. What to speak of the spiritual kingdom of God and the jivas/souls. So actually nothing exists that does not find its source in God. Let me quote from Bhagvad Gita Chapter 8 Text 9: (http://www.asitis.com/8/9.html) TRANSLATION One should meditate upon the Supreme Person as the one who knows everything, as He who is the oldest, who is the controller, who is smaller than the smallest, who is the maintainer of everything, who is beyond all material conception, who is inconceivable, and who is always a person. He is luminous like the sun and, being transcendental, is beyond this material nature. PURPORT (By Srila Prabhupada) The process of thinking of the Supreme is mentioned in this verse. The foremost point is that He is not impersonal or void. One cannot meditate on something impersonal or void. That is very difficult. The process of thinking of Krsna, however, is very easy and is factually stated herein. First of all, He is purusa, spiritual, Rama and Krsna, and is described herein as kavim; that is, He knows past, present and future and therefore knows everything. He is the oldest personality because He is the origin of everything; everything is born out of Him. He is also the supreme controller of the universe, maintainer and instructor of humanity. He is smaller than the smallest. The living entity (jiva/soul) is one ten-thousandth part of the tip of a hair, but the Lord is so inconceivably small that He enters into the heart of this particle. Therefore He is called smaller than the smallest. As the Supreme, He can enter into the atom and into the heart of the smallest and control him as the Supersoul. Although so small, He is still all-pervading and is maintaining everything. By Him all these planetary systems are sustained. We often wonder how these big planets are floating in the air. It is stated here that the Supreme Lord, by His inconceivable energy, is sustaining all these big planets and systems of galaxies. The word acintya (inconceivable) is very significant in this connection. God's energy is beyond our conception, beyond our thinking jurisdiction, and is therefore called inconceivable (acintya). Who can argue this point? He pervades this material world and yet is beyond it. We cannot even comprehend this material world, which is insignificant compared to the spiritual world--so how can we comprehend what is beyond? Acintya means that which is beyond this material world, that which our argument, logic and philosophical speculation cannot touch, that which is inconceivable. Therefore intelligent persons, avoiding useless argument and speculation, should accept what is stated in scriptures like the Vedas, Gita, and Srimad-Bhagavatam and follow the principles they set down. This will lead one to understanding. So in conclusion to your funadamental questions behind any matter there is spirit. Either jiva or super soul. According to modern science the atoms that make up a human being are never created or destroyed whether he is dead or alive. They are transformed. So within each atom will be the super soul. However in a living human being there is the presence of the jiva as well as the all pervading super soul. This jiva is the difference between a dead/unconscious body and an alive/conscious body. Let me know if you would like me to explain it better... If you make a serious tsudy of Bhagvad Gita As It Is and Srimad Bhagvatam everything will be clear... Best wishes Kasim !

Guest guest Posted October 25, 2003 Report Share Posted October 25, 2003 || Jaya Jagannath || Dear Kasim, Namaste Thank you very much for the passage from Bhagavat Gita. This does explain what I think is logical as everything arises from the supreme consciousness. Now I shall put a very short question. If you have time please try answering this. We have soul, our cells have soul, animals have soul atoms have soul and a universe also has a soul. We say "I" am so and so, animals say "I" am so and so, does our cell say I am so and so; does an atom say that "I" am so and so; does a galaxy say that "I" am so and so. At what stage does "I" come into picture? Is there one soul in everything or are there multiple souls in those things? Shall be eager to listen to you.

Guest guest Posted October 26, 2003 Report Share Posted October 26, 2003 Dear Sarajit prabhu All glories Srila Prabhupada Please accept my humble obeisances Thank you for your questions. With a soul comes => consciousness. It is often said that consciousness is the symptom of the soul. You are conscious and your consciousness originates from the real you => soul/atma/jiva. Similarly I am conscious and this originates from my soul. Similarly for all the list members. Same with all the people in the world. 5 billion. I cant get my head over that sometimes => 5 billion people with their own consciousness and therfore own soul. But why stop at humans? There are aninamls, birds, aquatics, plants, microbial forms. According to the Vedic literature there 8,400,000 species of life in this Universe. Of which modern day humans are only one variety. Humans (due to fortune) have more developed consciousness than animals, birds trees etc. But still the trees DO have limited consciousness due to the presence of the soul. They are simply souls going through a tougher time of imprisonment. (due to Karma) There are also living beings with more higher developed consciousness namely the demigods and the denizens of the higher planetary systems. Our present cosnciousness is limited to 3 or 4 dimensions. However the higher beings can access further dimensions. Anyway regardless of how developed our consciousness is, if we are not Krishna/God conscious which means if we cannot see God face to face => In other words see God with our spiritual eyes (eyes of the atma) then we are materially conditioned. Please note that I'm not saying plants etc are inferior. I myself was most probably a plant. So we should not artifically lament for the plants etc only. (See Bhagvad Gita Chapter 2 text 11). But rather for everyone who is not God conscious. Somehow encourage others to engage in God consciousness but in the end it really is upto them. TRANSLATION Chapter 2 text 11 The Blessed Lord said: While speaking learned words, you are mourning for what is not worthy of grief. Those who are wise lament neither for the living nor the dead. PURPORT (By Srila Prabhupada) The Lord at once took the position of the teacher and chastised the student, calling him, indirectly, a fool. The Lord said, "You are talking like a learned man, but you do not know that one who is learned--one who knows what is body and what is soul--does not lament for any stage of the body, neither in the living nor in the dead condition." As it will be explained in later chapters, it will be clear that knowledge means to know matter and spirit and the controller of both. Arjuna argued that religious principles should be given more importance than politics or sociology, but he did not know that knowledge of matter, soul and the Supreme is even more important than religious formularies. And, because he was lacking in that knowledge, he should not have posed himself as a very learned man. As he did not happen to be a very learned man, he was consequently lamenting for something which was unworthy of lamentation. The body is born and is destined to be vanquished today or tomorrow; therefore the body is not as important as the soul. One who knows this is actually learned, and for him there is no cause for lamentation, regardless of the condition of the material body. So in answer to your question => where ever there is a soul there is "I." However the consciousness is not always so highly developed as in the case of an atom. Also I never "comes into the picture" as such. Rather you as a soul have always eternally existed as an indivdual. Let me quote once more for Bhagvad Gita Chapter 2 text 12: TRANSLATION Never was there a time when I did not exist, nor you, nor all these kings; nor in the future shall any of us cease to be. PURPORT (By Srila Prabhupada) In the Vedas, in the Katha Upanisad as well as in the Svetasvatara Upanisad, it is said that the Supreme Personality of Godhead is the maintainer of innumerable living entities, in terms of their different situations according to individual work and reaction of work. That Supreme Personality of Godhead is also, by His plenary portions, alive in the heart of every living entity. Only saintly persons who can see, within and without, the same Supreme Lord, can actually attain to perfect and eternal peace. nityo nityanam cetanas cetananam eko bahunam yo vidadhati kaman tam atma-stham ye 'nupasyanti dhiras tesam santih sasvati netaresam (Katha 2.2.13) The same Vedic truth given to Arjuna is given to all persons in the world who pose themselves as very learned but factually have but a poor fund of knowledge. The Lord says clearly that He Himself, Arjuna, and all the kings who are assembled on the battlefield, are eternally individual beings and that the Lord is eternally the maintainer of the individual living entities both in their conditioned as well as in their liberated situations. The Supreme Personality of Godhead is the supreme individual person, and Arjuna, the Lord's eternal associate, and all the kings assembled there are individual, eternal persons. It is not that they did not exist as individuals in the past, and it is not that they will not remain eternal persons. Their individuality existed in the past, and their individuality will continue in the future without interruption. Therefore, there is no cause for lamentation for anyone. The Mayavadi theory that after liberation the individual soul, separated by the covering of maya or illusion, will merge into the impersonal Brahman and lose its individual existence is not supported herein by Lord Krsna, the supreme authority. Nor is the theory that we only think of individuality in the conditioned state supported herein. Krsna clearly says herein that in the future also the individuality of the Lord and others, as it is confirmed in the Upanisads, will continue eternally. This statement of Krsna is authoritative because Krsna cannot be subject to illusion. If individuality is not a fact, then Krsna would not have stressed it so much--even for the future. The Mayavadi may argue that the individuality spoken of by Krsna is not spiritual, but material. Even accepting the argument that the individuality is material, then how can one distinguish Krsna's individuality? Krsna affirms His individuality in the past and confirms His individuality in the future also. He has confirmed His individuality in many ways, and impersonal Brahman has been declared to be subordinate to Him. Krsna has maintained spiritual individuality all along; if He is accepted as an ordinary conditioned soul in individual consciousness, then His Bhagavad-gita has no value as authoritative scripture. A common man with all the four defects of human frailty is unable to teach that which is worth hearing. The Gita is above such literature. No mundane book compares with the Bhagavad-gita. When one accepts Krsna as an ordinary man, the Gita loses all importance. The Mayavadi argues that the plurality mentioned in this verse is conventional and that it refers to the body. But previous to this verse such a bodily conception is already condemned. After condemning the bodily conception of the living entities, how was it possible for Krsna to place a conventional proposition on the body again? Therefore, individuality is maintained on spiritual grounds and is thus confirmed by great acaryas like Sri Ramanuja and others. It is clearly mentioned in many places in the Gita that this spiritual individuality is understood by those who are devotees of the Lord. Those who are envious of Krsna as the Supreme Personality of Godhead have no bona fide access to the great literature. The nondevotee's approach to the teachings of the Gita is something like bees licking on a bottle of honey. One cannot have a taste of honey unless one opens the bottle. Similarly, the mysticism of the Bhagavad-gita can be understood only by devotees, and no one else can taste it, as it is stated in the Fourth Chapter of the book. Nor can the Gita be touched by persons who envy the very existence of the Lord. Therefore, the Mayavadi explanation of the Gita is a most misleading presentation of the whole truth. Lord Caitanya has forbidden us to read commentations made by the Mayavadis and warns that one who takes to such an understanding of the Mayavadi philosophy loses all power to understand the real mystery of the Gita. If individuality refers to the empirical universe, then there is no need of teaching by the Lord. The plurality of the individual soul and of the Lord is an eternal fact, and it is confirmed by the Vedas as above mentioned. I am aware this is a vedic astrology list so if you wish to take this off list it is ok with me kasim_c But I would urge you kindly to some how or other take advantage of the following links: http://www.bvml.org/books/index.html www.asitis.com www.krsnabook.com Because Srila Prabhupada guarantees ALL your questions on the soul will be answered.
