Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 I think this email response of Mr. Krishnamurthy Seetharama is the most balanced view of Guru Chandal yoga. I totally agree with him. Thinking unconventionally in the modern day society ( today or yesterday ), has been always treated with contempt. Not convinced ?? Well, you all require another example to get convinced. I "declare" that Mr. Darwin theory ( of the famous or infamous evolution theory "framer" which we all read in our child hood biology subject days - kindly recall ) is copied or plagarised from Indian Mythology !!!! Come on man, you are joking.....Let me clarify... The dasa-avatars are Matsya Avatar ( fish ) Koorma Avatar ( tortoise ) Varaha avatar ( wild boar ) Narasimha avatar ( semi animal /man with Lion faced ) Vaman avatar ( young boy... ) Lord Parashuram ( angry young man of his times ) Lord Ram Avatar ( most idealist person ever to come across ) Lord Krishna ( most mischievous/intelligent /sharp- person ever to come across ) Lord Buddha ( most peaceful man on earth ever to come across ) The tenth is yet to manifest .... Compare this original idea of hindu mythology with the Dr. Darwin's theory of evolution which also says similar things - hence, I once again "declare" that Dr. Darwin has plagarised Hindu concepts or read Hindu mythology extensively..... Note: Kindly excuse me for using simplistic words - just to lighten certain serious issues therein.....( Infact I am a great fan of "The Great Fakir Kabir" who is popular even today for his "simplistic dohas") with regards, sreeram srinivas sreeram64 (AT) satyam (DOT) net.in _____ vedic astrology [vedic astrology] On Behalf Of Krishnamurthy Seetharama Friday, June 23, 2006 11:24 AM vedic astrology Re: [vedic astrology] Re: Guru chandala yoga Dear , What I understand from Guru-Rahu combination is that it makes the native think unconventionally. He/she may not accept the traditions by the face value without questioning and satified with the answers. Hence, he/she may not respect some traditions that does not make logical sense (from his/her point of view). His/her uncoventional thinking would result in rising to higher levels faster than others or it could make them law breakers as some of the laws may not make sense to them. Hence, the rest of the horoscope will have a bearing on whether they rise in positive space or negative space. Some of the famous people who have this Guru-Rahu conjunction are: - Christopher Columbus - Charles Sobhraj - Jo Jo Starbuck - Madonna - Micheal Jackson And, a similar effect is seen in charts where Guru and Rahu aspect each other. They are again unconventional thinkers and naturally we can find such combination in the charts of researchers, scientists and people with unique approach in what they do. Some of such people are: - Pierre Curie - Mary Curie - Louis Pasteur - JRD Tata - Srinivasa Ramanujan - J Krishnamurthy - Alexander Graham Bell - Marilyn Monroe - Nathuram Ghodse - Alexander The Great - Winston Churchill - J F Kennedy - Jawaharlal Nehru - Srila Prabhupada Hence, Guru-Rahu combintion which is infamously known as Guru-Chandala Yoga, need not necessarily be bad. It should be looked at with the rest of the horoscope as background.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2006 Report Share Posted June 24, 2006 dear srinivas, you are right to say that Das avatar depicts the evolution theory of Darwin. Let me share some of my thoughts on the issue. The life has began billions of years ago as a spark from Oceans. This is depicted in our puranas in several places. I often talked about Vritra and Indra's fighting on a symbolism level and this is one of the symbolisms it holds. Vrtra means inertia, the inertia that has been there for ages, lifeless, actionless and utterly passive, so passive that there was no change in any aspect for ages. Indra, perhaps a star here, Red in color and big in size, has stuck this inertia of the seas, igniting a spark, the spark of life. Incidentally, Indra literally means ignition. This life, ignited by Divine will or by accident, has started to take a shape called a Cell. This cell became capable of independent existence and behold, of growing and populating. This is called amoeba. A fish is nothing but a great amoeba! This is symbolized in the first avatar. This avatar represents the Life Force and interestingly, the demon killed by the Lord in this incarnation is named Somaka- the laziness or Inertia! Thus, it symbolizes the beginning of life by having victory over the inertia that has been there for ages. Lord Krishna had been an avid worshipper of matsya avatar. At psychological level, this avatar represents the beginning of Intelligence and the eternal dilemma of man whether to be born or not. At spiritual level, it indicates the birth of the urge to seek of the Ultimate, as paraphrased by the famous first brahma sutra-` Once the Brahma jijnasa has taken place…" (athatho brahma jijnasa) Pisces, amongst signs, represents this avatar and fittingly, the spiritual graha, Ketu , represents this avatar. The Kurma symbolizes the survival and slow proliferation of life onto Land. The survival requires conformation to the nature laws and a discipline that is imposed by the Universe. The tortoise also represents imposing limits on its own self. Cancer, amongst signs and Saturn in the planets represent this avatar. It also indicates the responsibilities one carries in any role that one dons. At psychological level, it represents the development of Ideas and emotions. At spiritual level, it indicates the culmination of shraddha or deeksha , ie the deep determination and strength of ones decision to seek the Lord. I would post more on hearing from the group. regards, Kishore patnaik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
