Horoscope of Lord Rama/Vachaspati

Hi Dhanajay

 

First of all I think it is difficult today in a city to appreciate how bright

stars can be due to light pollution but we can still see the outlines of the

various constellations as they pass over.

 

If bright stars are dimmed then it is easy to know which stars are passing over

by watching the position of the Moon at night, and by knowing which phase the

Moon is in, it is easy to know where other planets are in relation to each

other on the ecliptic path.

 

This is why the full Moon in constellations are important in locating the time

of year and the season regulated by the Sun, because the full Moon is very

bright and easy to pick out even on some cloudy nights.

 

What is interesting is that the asterisms are not uniform in their size and

space they take up, so by knowing this and being able to locate the brightest

ones above it becomes easier to single out planetary positions in relation to

these asterisms.

How do you think they were able to locate the exact positions, it would be

interesting to share what we know.

best wishes

Dear Marg

Can u explain how without the aid of telescope

ancient people used to see and calculate exact

position of planets

Dear Dhananjay and those interested,

 

First of all sorry for untimely mails my server has had Mercury

retro.....................:-)

 

I also thought you might enjoy this little method employed by many ancient

astrologers to locate planetary positions exactly.

 

Chinese astrologers, and perhaps others we haven't yet found out about, though I

suspect the Egyptians too, use Ursa Major to tell the time.

First of all locate the constellation at a specific date and time and note which

architectural feature near your home the 'handle' is pointing to.

 

Ursa Major revolves around the sky once a day but gives a total rotation once a

year, so by watching it daily you can note the movement carefully yourself.

 

The position moves just short of one degree every four minutes, and one degree

is about twice the width of the full moon, so it gives a quarter of a revolution

every six hours. The position will have shifted one degree each day at the same

time, or a quarter turn every three months.

 

Over one lifetime this doesn't alter significantly, but over many millennia

precession affects it radically which is why there is a need to keep watching

which star is nearest the north pole, and changing the constellation you use in

order to tell the time.

 

As I mentioned earlier it takes 4800 years for Thuban to shift its location and

give way to Polaris at the North Pole. The total years for this precession of

the North to South constellational path is 25920 years, and it would affect

which constellations are visible above or below the horizon, also our clock

times would be out of synchrony with sun rising and setting times. For instance

in year 2500 9 o clock would be the new twelve o clock!

 

I also believe this is the method ancient astrologers used to give predictions

about the destiny of nations, and of the earth itself.

best wishes

I HAVE ONE PROBLEM MY MESSAGES ARE POSTED

MUCH AFTER I SEND.

 

Interesting Marg

Interesting.

thnks for the reply

People think that i argue very much, this u also

must have noticed when i was dealing with " past

Karma and present Bhagya " in this group.

But i am in search of truth.

It does not matter for me who first invented

zodiac and nakshatra or who is superior or who

is inferior or which ascendent is most perfect.

Indians defeated and pushed back the Alexander

the Great, who suffered heavy loses.

 

As we ordinary people believe that ancient seers

in Vedic period possesed (Divya Dhristi)ie super-

natural sight through which they used to see exact

position of planets & nakshatra anywhere anytime.

It is true that Indians were very briliant in

mathematics in the past and they must have divided

the zodiac in 12 division and further into many divisions.

which is easy task.

AS we can today, they were also able to map Sun Moon

& Nakshatras in the sky and calculate their motion.

But it seems impossible to locate the planets

which do not emit light & then do calculation for

their exact path without the aid of telescope,

much earlier the birth of Christ.

 

What do u think

Waiting for reply of other members also.

Dhananjay

// but even in Valmiki's day this may have become a

little clouded. //

 

Sorry anybody, I do not mean to interfere in this

thread. Nor wish to offend any one , neither the

querist nor the replier. But loose statements have

to be deleted .

 

Neither in Valmikis days was this clouded and neither in

todays days. We wish to understand something for which

we need to have our own clouded mind cleared, instead

of presumtions and wild guesses, and making statements

that understanding of these terms, would have been

clouded in Valmikis days even.

 

Sanskrit is not a ordinary language to be just learnt

like abcd. One has to spend many decades to have a good

knowledge of the same. Because we dont understand does

not give us a right to call people of one section or

one time as clouded or incoherent .

 

There are so many words sounding same, meaning

same in majority, but all having seperate

demarcation lines, where the exact meaning is

to be professed.

 

Vak (Vaka)

Vakam

Vakyam

Vacha

Vach

Vachyam

Vachak

Vachanam

Vachik

Vachya

 

I have not listed many more words here, and neither

listed another hundrd words which can be added to above

and made another word, revealing different meanings.

 

I can give meanings of most above words

by heart without referring Sanskrit texts,

or grammar books because they form a

part of our culture.

 

Thus please do not call any people of Valmikis time as

Clouded brains.It is ones own mind which may be limited

in understanding, but not the language you are

referring to, and neither the people of ancient times,

born in era of Sage Valmiki and our Lord Shri Rama.

 

 

regards,

Bhaskar.

Dear Kishore

The Chinese technique for following time by anchoring the plough to a focal

point on earth I got from a book on Chinese astrology by Derek Walters--very

interesting.

 

The Egyptian astrology I've been following for some time over the years as the

asterisms they used, as well as other cultures, are very similarly represented

on ancient archaeological finds like in tombs and in pyramids.

Also in Ireland they have an ancient cave with similar recordings of moon

patterns and cycles which have not yet been decisively dated but go back

millennia.

 

Not sure if this was the reply you were interested in?

 

As for my own theory that the north south constellational precession is crucial

to understanding the varying epochs of man and earth, this has been evolving

over some years now, and is not found in any particular book I have read to be

honest, though I have read many of the great ancient classics from varying

cultures.

 

This is why I felt the Rama topic is interesting. The epic poem no matter who it

is translated by, echoes of more profound truths based upon factual evolutionary

events, rather than mere myth and legends, same as Arjuna and the Mahabharata.

I do feel that many so called legends trivialised as mere religious beliefs by

archaeologists and many academics down the centuries, are much more than

''ancient primitive people's worshipping gods.''

This has been the tragedy of truth down the ages that someone invests religious

beliefs into something, instead of realising its true nature and value, and then

destroys it or pours scorn on it, so damaging the handing down of important

universal understandings.

Most important I have been studying astronomy above everything else.

Hi Dhananjay

I would be interested to hear of any other method also.

 

I do think it is very easy to understand the motion and path of the planets

without a telescope. All you have to do it look at the sky, know the sky, its

seasons and its cyclic motions. The fact that some stars are not so bright is

not a problem.

The full moon is a good marker for planetary pathways and this is perhaps why

it was singled out as a key marker for events.

25920 years, and it would affect which constellations are visible

above or below the horizon, also our clock times would be out of

2500 9 o clock would be the new twelve o clock!

Dear Tarunji,

 

Sorry for the delay in reply.

I thank you for the well meant advise.

 

Never underestimate the power of very stupid

people in large groups. They cany repair

their brakes, so they make their horns

louder.

 

I know many people in this world are

here to full other gullible

foolish innocent people. This is why the

world exists. If all were good,

then how could duality exist.

 

I normally dont enter threads where I

dont have knowledge, or they are

conversing on silly topics, but when it

comes to religion, or vedic astrology

which both we are practising, then

being present one is duty bound to

make corrections, if he is a real

devotee of His Lord, which I

normally do, otherwise we have enough

troubles of our own, to create or enter

new ones.

 

Most of these chaps want to become famous

by talking something spectacular like the

example you gave, but unfortunately

TV Shows are not live, and if invited I

could take them to task properly. There

is another Famous numerologist who practises

with his wife, and who cant sit properly too

decently and always speaks with a sly grin.

What he does, any 10th std.pass can do after

reading few books.There are many such people

on TV Shows, astrologers, Tarot card readers

etc. and most of them are fakes. You ask them

to predict and they will be looking sideways.

But this is the world. Dont we have many fakes

on Forum too ? Unfortunatelly for us and

fortunately for them, I have better work

to do, otherwise I would have exposed all these

hoodwinkers by now.

 

best wishes,

Bhaskar.

Respected Marg

It is good for us that u are member of this

group. An astronomer in u is present here.

Ihave very little knowledge of astronomy, so I am

dependent on you.

Iwant to know just for my satisfaction because

my mind do not allow me to take any thing for granted.

Do u think that it was possible for people 2000 or

3000 years before Christ without using special Dhristi

or telescope to observe faraway planets such as Sat.

for astrological purpose. Ones i read that ancient

people do not know about retrogate planets or they

had some doubt.

Since u have scientific knowledge of astronomy,

just say yes or no and i will accept it.

What i mean to say that if suppose i start watching

sky (with some basic knowledge and assumption) without

telescope and continue it for years recording each

and every data about the planets and nakashtras then

at last will i be able to cast horoscope or develop

panchang

Suggest me some books on astronomy.

 

Regards

Dhananjay

Dear Ms Margaret

 

Thanks for the reply.

Here are some more thoughts which came to my mind.5th house is also

defined as Vak-Sthana.As we Know Vak originates from Nabhi(Navel)

Region and is connected to Saraswati.That comes from mouth is also

Vak but the audible form(4th order).This can be termed as Vachana as

well as Vak.Perhaps origin of Vak is from Brahma Nabhi while

Saraswati is manifested in 2nd.Guru is also the Karaka for the 5th

house.The disciple also is represented by 5th house.Thus the effect

and the Pathi can be explained from 2nd as well as 5th house.

Dear Vijay,

 

Please do not give your own definitions and meaningless interpretations.

First try to learn the sastra very faith fully instead of trying to

interpret everything that comes your way.

 

You dont seem to be knowing what is brma nabhi, where the Omkara , the

pranava emanates from.

 

I hope I am not harsh but it is not a good practice.

 

regards,

 

Kishore patnaik

Dear Pradeep

 

Thanks for attempting to discern the differnce and similarities between the two

expressions.

I still understand that Vak= voice, which is different to speech.

The interpretation of Valmiki depends upon substantial knowledge of history,

cultural and ethnic variations, semantics, etymology as well as sanskrit, and of

course a very expert knowledge of the epoch he lived in, and the politics of his

day.

 

best wishes

Marg

Re: Horoscope of Lord Rama/Vachaspati

 

 

Dear Ms Margaret

 

Thanks for the reply.

Here are some more thoughts which came to my mind.5th house is also

defined as Vak-Sthana.As we Know Vak originates from Nabhi(Navel)

Region and is connected to Saraswati.That comes from mouth is also

Vak but the audible form(4th order).This can be termed as Vachana as

well as Vak.Perhaps origin of Vak is from Brahma Nabhi while

Saraswati is manifested in 2nd.Guru is also the Karaka for the 5th

house.The disciple also is represented by 5th house.Thus the effect

and the Pathi can be explained from 2nd as well as 5th house.

Dear Marg,

 

If You are really sincere then let me tell you

that " Vak " in astrology means speech and not

just voice. If the 2nd house and Lord is strong

or aspected by benefics then the native would have

a " Vakpatuta " or whatever he speaks comes out truth.

 

If this same 2nd Lord or house is strong and

aspected by malefics like Rahu etc., then

still whatever the native speaks would happen,

but this would be a case of a black toungue.

The man would curse someone and it would come

out true.

 

Voice is different here and speech is different.

Vocabulary is again different. " Vak " essentially

in astrology, means, the power of speech, which

may or may not contain these other attributes,

depending on what one is looking for, in a chart.

 

If I am wrong , please ignore my mail.

 

regards,

Bhaskar.

If I may intervene,

 

Sri Dhananjay,

 

That special drishti possessed by sages is what is called Yoga

drishti. Sages obtain such drishti through their tapasya, or deep

penance. It is a meta-physical concept. Who limit their thought

process only to physical processes and physical evidences, cannot

understand the meta-physical processes unfortunately. With the kind

of corrupted life styles today's humans cannot easily get such yoga

drishti.

 

You may accept or not accept what I said. But this is the only answer

you can get. So long as you limit yourself for physical proof or

existence, you will never get answer for this question.

 

Also note, that ideally Indian history has nothing to do with the

reference point of birth of Christ. It was just one point of time as

far as Indian history is concerned. For the convenience of today's

dealings in the International community, that reference point is

adopted, just like we take Greenwich mean time as a reference point.

 

Best regards,

 

Satya Sai Kolachina

Dear all,

 

I am quoting here what was purport of the word ' vak' in the Valimiki's

times. Apparently, it denotes Veda (the Divine word) whichfor which

significator is Jupiter. Obviously we are all discussing with half knowledge

with what we know of the meanings of vaak as on date. Hope this clears the

air,

 

" word vaak means: enunciator - as given above; This word also means

Veda - anaadi

nidhano hi eSaa vaak utshR^iSTaa Veda-s emerged from that Absolute, hence vaak

is identifiable with that Absolute; and this is grammar - vaak yoga

viddduSyati ca apashabde as such vaak is identifiable with grammar. And vaak

vid vareNya is 'one who has complete information derived from Veda-s, or,

one who elucidates and enunciates what he has learned from Veda-s to

others...'

Dear Kishoreji,

 

In Ramayana the meaning of " Vaka " would represent

what views have been expressed by You.

In Astrology the views of " Vaka " would change.

In judging the singing or oratory powers

from a bunch of speakers or singers, again

the meaning of " Vaka " would change.

 

It thus becomes a relative term in its

meaningful expression wrt what lies in the background,

or context to what we are speaking of.

 

regards,

Bhaskar.

Dear bhaskarji,

 

namaskar. with all best intentions, we have discussed the question here.

 

Personally, I felt I have spoken with half knowledge with out relevance to

the meanings intended by Valmiki. Once I have read the parah, which was

given in another context, the coin fell and I understood why Valmiki has

used the word vakpati for Jupiter.

 

All these are experiences in life, which God wants us to be humble.

Re: Horoscope of Lord Rama/Vachaspati

 

 

Respected Marg

It is good for us that u are member of this

group. An astronomer in u is present here.

Ihave very little knowledge of astronomy, so I am

dependent on you.

Iwant to know just for my satisfaction because

my mind do not allow me to take any thing for granted.

Do u think that it was possible for people 2000 or

3000 years before Christ without using special Dhristi

or telescope to observe faraway planets such as Sat.

for astrological purpose. Ones i read that ancient

people do not know about retrogate planets or they

had some doubt.

Since u have scientific knowledge of astronomy,

just say yes or no and i will accept it.

What i mean to say that if suppose i start watching

sky (with some basic knowledge and assumption) without

telescope and continue it for years recording each

and every data about the planets and nakashtras then

at last will i be able to cast horoscope or develop

panchang

Suggest me some books on astronomy.

 

Regards

Dhananjay

Dear Kishore

 

Your point is important.

There are so many ways of translating, so many meanings, and so many

understandings, that to rely on just one interpretation can be totally

misleading.

I am sure there are more ways of understanding what Valmiki intended to convey.

best wishes

M

Re: Re: Horoscope of Lord Rama/Vachaspati

 

 

Dear all,

 

I am quoting here what was purport of the word ' vak' in the Valimiki's

times. Apparently, it denotes Veda (the Divine word) whichfor which

significator is Jupiter. Obviously we are all discussing with half knowledge

with what we know of the meanings of vaak as on date. Hope this clears the

air,

 

" word vaak means: enunciator - as given above; This word also means

Veda - anaadi

nidhano hi eSaa vaak utshR^iSTaa Veda-s emerged from that Absolute, hence vaak

is identifiable with that Absolute; and this is grammar - vaak yoga

viddduSyati ca apashabde as such vaak is identifiable with grammar. And vaak

vid vareNya is 'one who has complete information derived from Veda-s, or,

one who elucidates and enunciates what he has learned from Veda-s to

others...'

 

regards,

Kishore patnaik
