Guest guest Posted May 4, 2008 Report Share Posted May 4, 2008 Respected Gill Saheb, In the first place let us understand that the upaya you have mentioned, immersing 8 itmes either as 4pieces of Lead + 4 nariyals or 8 pieces of Lead, is a devised upaya i.e. it has been devised by the Lal Kitab astrologers themselves. This upaya is not mentioned in the book. Let me explain: Rahu # 8: 1941 edition : No mention of this upaya 1942 edition : No mention of this upaya 1952 edition : page 674 note # 5 “ khote sikke [kharabshuda aur mande] jin ki bazaar mein kuchh keemat na ho aur zameen pat takarane se bilkul awaj na ho [ ya sikka,seesa,lead ] dariya mein dalte jana mubarik hoga [ taqreeban 8 sikke ya har roj ek taqreeban 43 din] [The book mentions 8 counterfeit coins in one day or a coin each day for 43 days. It mentions Lead or sikka or seesa too but it is probably in the context of the coins] Rahu # 11 1941 edition : no mention 1942 edition : no mention 1952 edition : no mention But the Hindi transliteration of 1942 edition [ Arun sanhita ] has added on its own : For Rahu 8th : aath tukade sikke ke jinka vazan 12 kilo ho dariya mein dalen For Rahu 11th : 4 kilo sikka tatha 4 pooja vale nariyal dariya mein dalen But the upaya of immersing 8 pieces of Lead / Nariyal or a mix there of is a perfectly logically devised upaya. As Kulbir Ji has mentioned, Pt. Krishna Ashant ji & Amrita Preetam ji in their book “ Trik bhavanon ki gatha†have given a rationale of this upaya. Pt. Krishna Ashant ji maintains that the total quantity should be 8 in value where as it can be cut into pieces of 8, or 10 or depending on the house affected. Now let me explain the logic of this upaya as we have understood it : The most important thing to remember is that this devised upaya is done only for Rahu in 8th and the 11th and for no other house. Second thing to remember is the figure of 8 in both the case. Therefore this figure is not related to the house the Rahu is posited in. If that were so then the figure of 8 would not have been there for rahu in the 11th. It would have been 11 instead. Now does some thing ring a bell in the mind ? What a figure of 8 be related to the 8th house and the 11th house? Well, let me tell you. Rahu is moved 8 steps away. Which is the 8th house from the 8th? And which is the 8th house from the 11th? The answer is the 3rd and the 6th. Now by immersing a piece each day or immersing 8 pieces the same day for Rahu in the 8th, where does it take Rahu to? To the 3rd house of course. Similarly, immersing 8 pieces for a rahu placed in the 11th where would it take it to? To the 6th house of course. Now Rahu can not be better placed than being in the 3rd or the 6th. Therefore the purpose of the upaya is to distance the Rahu such that it gets based in the best houses it can ever be. Now let me explain another issue that Kulbir ji has raised. Should the Nariyal be the one with water or the one which is completely dry. In our opinion the Nariyal should be completely dry because the Nariyal is an ashiya of Shani. Any thing with water [ moon ] can not be an ashiya of Shani. The Nariyal used in pooja is the one which is dry. Even otherwise Shani is considered a ‘shushka grah’ a dry planet. Gill Saheb, it is not coconut. Coconut is the kernel. For upaya it is the Nariyal, which is the whole of it with coir intact. It was definitely a very beautiful query.
