Namaste Nisha,

 

Before interpreting the meaning of article try to understand the actual incident given in article.

 

This incident happened when Jambhaasur had defeated Deva s and they had been

adviced to ask help from ShriDattatreya. ShriDatta asked Devas to fight with

Asuras and bring them to his Ashrama. When Asuras came there, while fighting

with DEvas, they find Mother Lakshmi in Ashrama ( I think actual words are

"Anaghaa" shakti If Gurus or anyone can explain meaning of Anaghaa I'll be

greatful) and they forcely carry her on their heads. Then ShriDatta ask

Devas(who get defearted) to fight with Asuras again. As Asuras carry her on

their heads they forget all their Mantras and also they have done the greatest

sin of touching Parastri hence loose all their Tapa shakti. And Devas defeated

Asuras and Jambhaasura is also finished, with ease.

 

This is actual incident as per my knowledge and just wait what SJC Gurus will explain.

 

I'll try to give few views as per my understandings and hope every one can read

inbetween the lines ,

 

1)Here Jambha is second name for Lazyness. This is Tamoguna.

Shri Datta is son of Atri Krushi means He's not Satva, Raja, Tamas Guna!!

Carrying Mother Shakti (Lakshmi ) is symbol of Tamoguna again. (And Ven is showing Rajoguna)

Devas are follower of Dharma and representing Satva guna and efforts.

 

2)Again here shows the respect of woman which every one has to keep. Otherwise

anyone will finish like Jambhaa.

 

3)Now see the beauty of our sages , they says 5th and 9th H are Lakshmi Sthanas

and same sthanas are consider for Upasanam and Guru!! (I think learned ones can

share more readings on astroside hence not willing to repeat it)

 

Like way we can explore and may keep on explore but the word of caustion is,

Shri Datta is also known as Digambar and whatever we are trying to explore, are

just the cloths on his body and not He himself!! :-) Hence in Maharashtra we

know one famous phrase ,

"Ek tari Ovi Anubhavavi" Means

Try to realise atleast one Upadesa from any Saint in real!! (Not with just words)

 

Here I've taken liberty to write original inccident and my thoughts and not

willing to enter in any debate.

 

Thanks to Vishwanatham ji and Lakshmiji for their valuable readings.

 

Regards,

Vinay

Rama KrishnaDear Nisha,i was waiting for an SJC guru to reply to your query to

know what is the subtler meaning of it.My thoughts at more gross level are :1.

Always, worship Laxmi along with narayana2. Narayana represents efforts, while

Laxmi represents bhagya.So, seeking bhagya without efforts is not sustainable,

in the long run.See, how gross are my thoughts!Thanks to Laxmi garu for

explaining the subtler meanings very well.regardsviswanadham--- In

signifies Mahalakshmi, it is Jupiter, who is significator for wealth. It is

common to see in Hindu iconography Lakshmi seated on the left thigh

(Sagittarius) of Lord Vishnu or pressing the feet (pisces)of reclining Vishnu.

Here thighs can be taken to indicate stability and feet indicate "aasraya" or

refuge. Guruji could be referring to the tendency of Asuras to worship material

luxuries/wealth, while at the same time fighting with the Source of this wealth

(Vishnu), because Lakshmi is nothing but the Shakti or manifestation of

Vishnu's sustaining function. Since shakti's nature is primarily to

radiate/spread out, the aakasa tattwa of Jupiter facilitates an unhindered

expansion of this shakti, and perhaps that is why Gajakesai yoga promises this

kind of expanding power. > > > > Incidentally Taurus, depicted as a Vrishabha,

is symbolic of Dharma and its four-legged stability. This could be the reason

for calling the 2nd house as the house of Vishnu. Infact, some pundits say that

Lord Krishna's birth in Vrishabha signifies His descent to stabilize Dharma.

Venus's other sign is that of a balance and what other sign in the zodiac can

indicate this equilibrium better than the peaceful pisces?> > > > This is

further reinforced by the fact that Venus is exalted in the 27th degree of

Pisces. If we consider Aries as the Sunrise, this exaltation of Venus would

occur around the tranquil pure moment of Brahma Muhurtam, heralding the birth

of Light. Venus rejoices in Light, that's why Maha Lakshmi is worshipped in

"Deepam" and deepavali is the festival of Lakshmi. That's why during dusk,

every one lights a "diya" and prayers are offered to invite & retain the grace

of Lakshmi, both on the material and spiritual planes. > > > > Hence, the best

of Venus is when the world is lost in the abiding ecstasy that the

contemplation of the Highest brings, and not in mere physical pleasures as the

popular opinion goes. That's why you see exalted Venus as a symbol of purity in

the charts of many saints. > > > > Please excuse the howlers that may have

Would someone care to elaborate on this (an article by Pt Sanjay Rath )> > The

deity of Venus is Mahalakshmi and when the Asura had defeated the Deva's and

were running away with Mahalakshmi, the Deva's went to Dattatreya (Om form of

Vishnu) and asked Him to do something. With His divine sight Dattaguru saw that

the Asura were carrying Lakshmi on their head and started smiling. He asked the

Deva not to worry and told that Lakshmi would return very soon. This happened

exactly as Dattatreya had predicted and the perplexed Deva asked for the

reasons.> > Dattatreya explained that Lakshmi is symbolic of money and those

people who have Lakshmi in their heads are bound to lose Her grace and

consequently lose Her. Instead those who have Lakshmi in their thighs (ninth

house-Dharma) will always find stability in wealth and Lakshmi will be please

to be with them.> > Thus, Rahu & Saturn have Rajyoga due to Venus and Venus

becomes a Yogakaraka for Capricorn and Aquarius. These people are always

yearning for Lakshmi and consequently they may be fortunate to get Her

sometimes, but invariably lose Her. That is why Rahu-Ven or Ven-Rahu, Sat-Ven

or Ven-Sat periods are terrible as Lakshmi is said to LEAVE THE HOUSE.

Financial pressures and misfortune results. The only exceptions are the Lagna

of Jupiter (Pisces & Sagitarius) as they have the sence to use Lakshmi properly

and give Her a respectable place next to Her Lord...see the real life & Jyotish

implications.> > > > Regards> > Nisha Malik> >
