[Jyotish Notes and Thoughts] Sarvotabhadra Chakra

Dear Friends,

 

The Nakshatra's represent the power of Shakti. Thru its power everything

gets created. Even The Signs in Zodiac are created thru Nakshatras. Many

stars in the sky can be formed into pictures. Like Scorpion type of

formation is formed connecting stars in Scorpio etc. This can be quite

prominently seen on the sky. But they quesion is why only can you form

Scorpio, Leo, etc out of those stars?. Can you group the stars in other

ways?.

 

Yes, There is also subtler forms created by these nakshatras (group of

stars), Which is not directly visible on the sky by connecting the

dots(stars). Like you can arrange a group of Nakshtra's to form a Tortoise

and it's called Kurma (Turtle) Chakra. When you form a 8 spokes out of the

nakshtras;s It's called Kaala Chakra. Potentially there can be infinite

number of such chakra you can draw. Most important ones are divined by the

Rishi's for our usage.

 

One such arrangement called Sarvotobhadra Chakra. Where 28 Nakshatras are

grouped in a 8x8 square with 7 nakshtras in each side. Click on the below

image for a bigger picture.

This is a very important form of Chakra which includes all the Five Elements

of Time, Called Panchanga. The five elements are listed as below,

 

1. Nakshatra: Airy/Vaayu Element, The 28 nakshatras are placed from

Krittika onwards in groups of 7.

 

2. Yoga: Ether/Akaash Element, The Yoga is defined as Sun+Moon+Pushy

Degree. Pushya is ruled by Brihaspati, The Guru of Devas. He represents the

mantras and sound elements. Each Nakshatra is given a sound element. The

"ha" sound goes to Pushya and "da" sound goes to Ashlesha, Hence The sound

chakra is called Hodaa Chakra and to represent ether element these sounds

are placed adjacent to each nakshtra. The vowels are placed in diagonals.

The Center is full of Ether and one can imagine "OM" in the center, which

radiates to become all sounds.

 

3. Vaara: Fire Element, Represented by the Weekdays are also place

around the center. The weekdays are again grouped into five elements, Sun

and Mars is taken as fire element, Moon and Venus is taken as Water (Jala)

element.

 

4. Tithi: Water element of Panchanga, The Tithi is grouped in Five,

and kept besides the Vaara (Weekday). They form Amrita Yoga (The

specific combination of Weekday element + Tithi Element). Nanda tithi on

Sunday/Tuesday etc is called Amrita yoga or Eternal. Thus signify auspicious

nature in Sarvatobhadra center.

 

5. Karana: Karana is the Earth(Pritvi) element in Panchanga. It

signifies actions. It's actually half of Tithi to signify actions coming

from Desire (Tithi/Water), But in horoscopes actions are performed on Signs

and Houses. Hence the 12th houses are placed around the Center.

 

Now, The transits or Natal position of Grahas is placed on Nakshtras.

Horizontal and diagonal lines are drawn to note the effects. These lines are

called Vedhas.

 

Since this Sarvatobhadra is Lunar tool, The grahas are divided in

Saumya/Soft (Moon,Jupiter, Venus, Mercury) and Kroora/Crude/Cruel (Sun,

Mars, Saturn and nodes). The moons gets troubled by Cruel grahas and feels

soft from soft grahas.

 

The Vedha by Cruel Graha gives mental turmoil and by soft graha gives mental

pleasures. Note Special Nakshatras like Janma (1st from moon), Karma (10th

from Moon) etc to note effects on mind , profession etc. Note vedha on

akshara(phonemes) to see what mantra is getting influenced in mind Or your

first phoneme of name. Note vedha on say 9th sign from you Lagna to note how

the society(Moon) is influencing you actions in dharma etc.

 

This being just an introduction, Further readings can be done from

Phaladeepika, Jataka Paarijaata and such classics.

 

 

 

Warm Regards

Sanjay P
