Guest guest Posted October 16, 2008 Report Share Posted October 16, 2008 Pancha Pakshi Sastra (5 Bird System) - Written by Sreenadh OG Pancha Pakshi Sastra (5 bird system) is an astrological knowledge branch that utilizes the biorhythms of natal Moon in prediction. [A good book with the name `Biorhythms of Natal Moon' by Sundara Varadacharya is currently available. Published by Ranjan Publications, Delhi] As per this system, 24 hours from one sunrise to next sunrise, consists of 10 Yama – 5 yama during day time and 5 yama during night time. Thus Yama is a name given to a duration of 2..4 hours as per this system (Different systems assign different duration for a `Yama'. Actually Yama just means `Duration'). Actually it is the five elemental vibrations that are personified birds (Pakshis). The 5 birds that does some or the other activity in each of these 5 time slots are – 1) Vulture 2) Owl 3) Crow 4) Cock 5) Peacock. The five activities these birds participate in are – 1) Eating 2) Walking 3) Ruling 4) Sleeping 5) Dying. The functional patters of the birds and activities vary, during waxing and waning Moon cycles, and also during week days. Therefore to know the Yama bird and its activity, you should have a detailed table that lists the same. Meaning of each activity As per the book `Biorhythms of Natal Moon', the meaning of each activity is as follows – Eating – This activity is nothing but renewal of the body cells, and thereby renewal of functions is thus effected Walking – To eat, bird has to be earning. For earnings movement is necessary. This movement is walking activity Ruling – The process of earning itself is the activity of ruling. Sleeping – After eating, walking and ruling, the system gets exhausted due to prolonged exertion resulting in the need to relax. This relaxing process is the sleeping activity. Dying – By repeated process of these four activities frequently, the body in which the soul resides, completely degenerates and reaches an extreme point when functioning of these four activities is no more possible. At this stage, the soul departs from the old body to take rest and enter into another new suitable body by way of reincarnation. This is called the activity of dying and the cycle again begins. Method of Application Find the bird corresponding to your birth star Check the activity in which the bird indulges in the desired period of time This will give you an idea about your general state at that time and the trend of the result. For example, if ruling time then definitely expect positive result, if dying time then total negative results. Know your bird You can identify your bird from the following table. You can call it birth-bird or elemental-bird, similar to the word birth-star. Sl. Nakshatra Bird Bright Half Dark Half 1 Aswini Vulture Peacock 2 Bharani - - 3 Krittika - - 4 Rohini - - 5 Mrigasira - - 6 Aridra Owl Cock 7 Punarvasu - - 8 Pushya - - 9 Aslesha - - 10 Makha - - 11 Purva Phalguni - - 12 Uttara Phalguni Crow Crow 13 Hasta - - 14 Chitra - - 15 Swati - - 16 Visakha - - 17 Anuradha Cock Owl 18 Jyeshta - - 19 Moola - - 20 Purva ashadha - - 21 Uttara ashadha - - 22 Sravana - - 23 Dhanishta - - 24 Satabhishak - - 25 Purva Bhadrapada - - 26 Uttara Bhadrapada - - 27 Revati - - Now check the day of the week as well as whether it is bright or dark half of Moon cycle. Based on this info check the activity in which your bird is indulging at that period of time. Similar to the Dasa-Antara system, you can check the bird of sub-activity as well. The current activity in which your bird is indulged in along with bird of sub-activity for that period of time will give you an idea about the trend of possible results for that period of time. [To have a detailed table on the same refer to the tables given in the book `Bio-rhythms of Natal Moon']. This is the system of Pancha Pakshi Sastra in nut shell. - 0 - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
