Guest guest Posted January 14, 2008 Report Share Posted January 14, 2008 Varun ji, the explanation of odd and even numbers in context of contunity and finality is very good. such explanations help in understanding lalkitab better as these concepts were assumed to be understood by the readers by Pt ji. but that is not always the truth. regards kulbir On 1/14/08, varun_trvd <varun_trvd wrote: Respected Gill Saheb,An interesting query !A sneeze is an activity of Saturn + Rahu [ page 74, farman # 88 ; 1939 Urdu ed]Sneeze in odd numbers [ 1,3,5 ] are considered inauspicious. Sneeze in even numbers [ 2,4, ] is considered auspicious.If sneeze, in odd numbers heard from the front and from the right it is considered inauspicious; if heard, in even numbers, from the left and from behind, it is considered auspicious. [ page 1045, 1952 Urdu ed ]Sneeze, although, a mushtarqa activity of Satun+Rahu, but it's effect is that of neech Rahu if heard from the front and from the right{ page 50,Arman # 92 ; 1940 Urdu ed]Now let us understand the concept of odd and even numbers. In the Indian ethos odd numbers denote continuity where as even numbers denote finality. That is why on auspicious occasions we gift money in odd numbers [Rs51, Rs101 etc] praying that we have more of such auspicious occasions. Definitely no body would like the continuation of some thing, which is considered inauspicious per se.Let us also understand the concept of front right; and left behind. To my mind the front right is the 12th house where as the left behind is the 6th house. A single sneeze as such is inauspicious already, but it becomes all the more inauspicious for a person with rahu in the 6th house that it becomes a matter worth a special mention. The Lal Kitab for rahu in the 6th house goes to the length of mentioning this specifically [ page 225, line #23 ; 1942 urdu ed] and [ page 667, point #4; 1952 Urdu ed ]With regards,Varun Trivedi , " gill_hs2005 " <gill_hs2005 wrote:>> Sir,> > Traditionally it is considered inauspicious if some one sneezes at the > time when going out for some important work.
