Nadi - Jeeva and Sareera

[Guest guest]

Nadi Jyothisha - Jeeva and Sareera by Sri. N.V.R.A. Raja

 

 

 

Out of many important factors which have to be taken into consideration

and special attention has to be paid for assessing the results of a

House or Bhava are Jeeva and Sareera. The soul is named as Jeeva and the

body goes by the appellation of Sareera. The Jeeva and the Sareera have

to be worked out for every Bhava or House for proper predictions as they

are the main planets on whom the results depend to some extent. It may

be noted thet the jeeva and Sareera planets should be benefics to the

particular native and well posited in the chart apart from benefic

aspects etc for good results to flow. One has to consider whether the

jeeva and Sareera planets are inimical to each other. Various authors

and scholars have divergent views about the Jeeva and the Sareera. They

have their own methods to find them out.

 

According to some Nadi Granthas, the Lagna is the soul and the Chandra

Lagna is the Sareera. From these it follows or could be inferred that

the Lord of Lagna is the Jeeva Planet and the Sareera Planet is the one

which owns the Chandra Rasi. Their Strengths or Weakness is reflected in

the results. For predictions Lagna along with Chandra lagna and

placement of Planets with reference these Lagnas are examined.

 

Another view is that the owner of the house where a particular

Bhavathipathi is posited is the Jeeva of that Bhava and the Lord of the

House in which the Jeeva Planet is situated in the Sareera Planet. For

example in a Mesha Lagna Horoscope in which Guru is in Simha and Ravi is

in Vrishchika as per the chart 1 given below. The Jeeva planet of 9th

house is Ravi and Kuja is the Sareera Planet of the 9th House.

 

 

 

The Lord of the 9th House Guru is in Simha so the Lord of Simha is the

Jeeva planet of 9th House. Ravi, the Jeeva planet is in Vrishchika so

the Lord of Vrishchika-Kuja is the Sareera planet.

 

Some scholars arrive at the Jeeva and Sareera Planets by taking into

consideration the Karakathwas. The Lord of the house in which the

Karakathwa is situated become the jeeva. The relevant House Lord counted

from the placement of karakathwa planet become the Sareera Planet. The

principle can be elucidated from the following example.

 

In Chart 2 where the Lagna is Mesha, the Moon, Chandra is in Kanya. One

of the Karakathwa of Chandra is Mother. As Chandra is in kanya, its Lord

budha becomes the jeeva planet for mother. 4th house represents mother

so 4 houses counted from the placement of chandra is Dhanus, the lord of

dhanus Guru becomes the Sareera planet for mother.

 

 

 

 

 

In the stellar system of astrology, the constellations and their lords

are the basis to find out the jeeva and sareera planets of the

respective bhavas or houses in a chart. The jeeva planet is the lord of

the constellation in which the particular Bhava Lord is posited and the

Sareera planet is the Lord of the star in which the Jeeva planet is

situated. For example in a Mesha lagna horoscope, when Chandra ( lord of

the 4th house ) is in the constellation Uthiradam ( Ravi's star )

Ravi is termed as the Jeeva Planet for the 4th house. Ravi ( The Jeeva

Planet in this case ) is in the constellation Poorattadhi, so the lord

of Poorattadhi i.e., guru becomes the Sareera planet for the 4th House.

 

 

 

Ravi's jeeva planet for 4th house in Guru is the sareera planet for

the 4th house.

 

Ravi is in Poorattadhi and Chandra is in Uthiradham.

 

When the jeeva planet joins another strong or powerful planet, the

powerful or stronger planet becomes the jeeva planet. In other words the

stronger or powerful planet snatches away the right of the other planet.

This may happen in the case of Sareera also.The following example will

make it clear. See chart 4 where Sukra is exalted in Meena.

 

 

 

 

Ravi is in Poorattadhi and Sukra in revathi. Chandra is in Uthiradham.

 

Sukra is the jeeva planet and Budha is the Sareera planet of the 4th

house.

 

In the Chart no 4, Ravi and Sukra are in Meena, on account of the

exaltation of Sukra, Ravi does not become the Jeeva Planet though

Chandra is in the constellation of Ravi.

 

In cases where the Bhava lord is in his own constellation, the Bhava

Lord himself becomes the jeeva Planet. The Lord of the house in which

the Jeeva lord is tenanted is the Sareera planet. For clarity see Chart

5 and explanation thereon.

 

 

 

Chandra in Rohini.

 

In the Chart 5 Chandra the lord of 4th house is in Rohini (

Chandra's Constellation ) So Chandra becomes the Jeeva Planet and as

Chandra is in Vrishabaha ( owned by Sukra ) Sukra becomes the Sareera

Planet for the 4th Bhava or house.

 

At times the Bhava lord is not only situated in his own constellation

but also placed in his own house and in these cases the Jeeva planet

itself becomes the Sareera planet. For explanation see chart 6.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Ravi is in Uththiram.

 

The Lord of 5th Bhava ( Putra Bhava ) Ravi is in the constellation

Uththiram which is owned by Ravi himself so he is the Jeeva planet. As

Ravi is in his own house simha, he is the sareera planet for the 5th

house. In this connection it may be noted that Ravi and guru have one of

their constellations in their respective houses.

 

For good and favourable results to flow, the following point have to be

considered along with other factors.

 

* The Jeeva and Sareera planets should not be inimical to each

other.

* The Gunas acquired by the Jeeva and Sareera planets should be in

consonance with their own gunas.

* They ( jeeva and Sareera planets ) should be in benefic houses.

* The respective planets ( Jeeva and Sareera planets ) should not

be associated or aspected by their enemies or situated in their

enemy's houses.

* The situation of Jeeva and Sareera planets in their friendly

houses, exaltation houses, own houses and aspects of benefic planets

should also be noted.

* The Jeeva and Sareera Theory as stated above are only extensions

of principles in respect of houses applied to the constellations and

their lords.
