Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, Namaskar Comments under. Here I have also tried to answer the queries from your more recent mail. Yours sincerely, -- Visti Larsen - SJC Guru Jaimini SJC - Denmark email: visti For consultations, free mp3's and articles visit: http://srigaruda.com Shailesh C Chadha wrote:  || Om Gurave Namah | Om Namo Narayanaya ||  Namaste Visti,  I did mention the reason of my disappointment right in the beginning of my mail - "I do not expect a SJC guru to brush-off some very relevant quotes from classics as mere statistics". Visti: Right, right. Point i was trying to make was that we need to read one sloka at a time. With Rafal, my objection was to his question - "do have no faith".  Anyways, lets forget that - it is non-jyotish and disruptive. I make no claim that only my view point is right - I am ready to be unlearn my errors if you can give me right authority and logical explanation.  And I am the first to acknowledge your deep study and vast knowledge of jyotish. So, let it be a long and wide discussion - I am sure I will learn a lot in the process.  But, I request once again, do give due consideration to the quotes that appear to be contrary to your line of argument or your belief.  And, starting with original Sanskrit text is a good idea - provided we can do a proper and competent translation.  Now, when you mention <<this was the exact problem we had with BPHS where the word 'enemy' was written as 'shatru' in one sloka and 'ripu' in another>> I fail to see the point you are trying to make. RIPU and  SHATRU are synonymous. Even the expanded meaning of RIPU, quoted by you from Monier Williams << mfn. deceitful , treacherous , false RV. m. a deceiver , cheat , rogue ib. an enemy , adversary , foe Mn. MBh. & c.>> points towards shad-ripus, although purists would object to the meanings attributed by Monier.  Visti: The point i was trying to make is that ripu and shatru are quite different though their meanings are almost similar on the surface assesment. Each sanskrit word is chosen very carefully otherwise we must ask why Parasara didn't use the same word, i.e. 'shatru' for enemies? Here is a similar example: both sixth and eighth house show diseases but does that mean they are synonymous? No, they are not and initially we learn a few keywords such as: eighth house causes chronic diseases whereas the sixth causes more temporary afflictions. More below. Now consider this: the word SHATRU has been used for 6th house and RIPU for 8th house. And I agree with you that SHATRU/6th house would refer to ENEMY and RIPU/8th house to weaknesses etc.  At another place (while quoting Harihara, reg. doshas) you have said << Agantuka refers to the karma caused upon oneself... i.e. how you treated yourself>>. I feel you have got it wrong here. The common meaning of word AGANTUKA is GUEST. Hence, we have to understand that AGANTUKA DOSHAS as the doshas that come from outside, as compared with the NIJA DOSHAS that arise within. Visti: offered a digested perspective, which was somewhat premature of me. However, you are right and indeed the diseases arising out of the self/nija are those experienced internally and are from own karma, whilst those arising out of the sixth house are usually visible/external problems, hence the reason enmity/shatru is seen from the sixth house. Here the meanings are also much more subtle as the nija dosha brought by the self into this world because of their own bad karma towards the world, whils the agantuka is that which the person has invited due to their lack of purity. Sanjayji has written an entire article on this when dealing with ayurveda and diseases. Please apply logic to this distinction between AGANTUKA DOSHA( 6th house) and NIJA DOSHA (8th house) and what do you get - 6th house is for the enemy outside and the 8th house is for the enemy within.  The above two arguments were presented by you and what do we learn from them - that 6th house refers to the enemies we encunter in the world and 8th house refers to the weaknesses we carry within fronm the previous birth. Then, please tell me, why are you insistent that shad-ripus be seen from the 6th house??  All your arguments prove that Shad-ripus be seen from the 8th house.  Do I make sense?? Visti: There is a difference between Shadripu and Dusthakarma. They are not the same and cannot both be alotted to the eighth house which is what we would be left with if we see shadripu in the eighth house. The six sins/ripu are our personal weaknesses, which manifest externally in the form of ulcers, scars, enmity, etc. as we have ascertained from the sixth house. Also Harihara and Varahamihira have indicated that all houses have internal attributes as well as external attributes, hence it would be hard to justify that the sixth shows an external effect of the eighth house as we would have to ask which are the sixth houses internal attributes. You mentioned in your most recent mail that ripu would be the CAUSE and battle, enemies, etc. are the effect of the same. Thats perfectly fine and is what i was trying to put across, but question is did it come from the sixth or the eighth and how do we see what is the ripu?? do we see the nature of it in the eighth and see its effects in the sixth or what? - this is the question we are asking ourselves right now. Ripu is an accepted word to describe the sixth house. But it doesn't mean that we cannot see some ripu from the eighth house as Parasara has indicated. Jataka Parijata mentions the names of the sixth house as: "roga, aMshu, shastra, bhaya, shasta, ripu and kSata". For the eighth house the names mentioned are: randhra, ayur, aShTa, raNa, mR^ityu, vinAshana. I consider Jataka Parijata a very important text. Yet, for the sake of clarification, in the tradition we are normally supposed to follow the advise of Kalyana Verma as a supplement to the tradition. Kalyana Verma has been abit short in his words about this though, but Vaidyanath Dikshita is a very respected source on the same. Knowing that ripu is specifically a name of the sixth house and that there are six ripus allotted to it, it becomes almost too convenient to alot the shad (six) ripu (sins) to the sixth. But this is not a fair justification. Also, what is your understanding of the names assigned by the classics to the two houses - ARI for the 6th and RANDHRA for the 8th? Is it not suggestive of the functions/ signification of these two houses?? Visti: Good question. But Ari is the external function of the sixth whilst the internal is kshata. Similarly Randhra is the internal function of the eighth whilst the external is Marana. So we should compare Kshata and Randhra if we are to make a comparisen. Both mean faulty, hole, source of weakness, etc. but Kshata refers more to wounds and such whilst randhra refers to either the nine openings in the human body (eighth house is responsible for the evacuation of various toxins) which are necessary to cause the removal of toxins so the body can live long and avoid death. Similarly Kshata shows the hole in our shield/kavacha through which the Ari or oponent will strike as an external function. To summarize: we cannot justify one house as being the internal quality of another, as all houses have both internal and external traits. In other words, the sixth house has an internal trait which is CAUSING the enemies, battles, etc. to arise. We in the parampara understand the sixth house as being the six ripus which manifest externally as battles, addictions, strife, diseases, etc. We further understand that the eighth shows dustha karma which will decide the length of life, the sorrow and forced changes we will see as well as show our real karmic debts towards the world.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh and Upendra, Namaskar Sanjayji has for as long as i remember stated to us students that we should treat Saturn as the main karaka for the sixth house. He has mentioned that Mars is a secondary karaka, but an important one as well... of course. This is clarifying for the record what has been taught. With this i would like to bring another question to light. What will you use the knowledge of the karaka for? The karaka shows how to remedy the house. I.e. If you worship Lakshmi she will ensure that you have good relationships with people (karaka of sixth) and you will be a sweetheart among your peers. If you worship Vishnu your karmayoga will be completed (karaka of tenth) as you will uphold your duty as a human being. This is a very standard method of giving remedies. Now the question is: how should we win over the sixth house? When all the fights and battles start whilst enemies are on your doorstep, will we worship Kartikeya and make mince-meat out of the enemies like Bhima did? Or will you renounce (Saturn) all your sins which brought these problems in the first place and be free of all the further karma which may follow such trials just as the rishis did? Obviously the last option is the best for us astrologers and is what we recommend as well.

Ultimately, we are here to learn and thats what our focus should be. Please also understand that I have the utmost respect for my Guru and I am sure no true Guru will purposely teach what is wrong. And, the highest of the Gurus have always encouraged their shishyas to go out and seek the truth, they too accept that they are human and are always ready to acknowledge their errors. If Sanjay ji has changed his view-point from what he has mentioned in COVA and elsewhere, he should have a good reason for the same and he has to reveal the same. Till such time, I suggest we go with the classics. And there are very strong reasons to do so, as I have mentioned in my mails to Visti and Upendra has, in his latest mail. Regards, - Shailesh ----- Original Message ----- Rafal Gendarz To: Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 1:15 PM Subject: Re: [Om Krishna Guru] Re: Karaka for sixth house hare rama krsna Dear Shailesh, Yes, its all depends on Pranamas we accept. For our logic the anumana is important and for our faith the sabda element is important, I recognized that You respect the logic in the big way. I do the same but in the different proportion, therefore for me it was weird that Sanjayji words are not final. Therefore there is big benefit to Your discusion with sanskrit terms, philosophy of enemies vs flaws and all that, but if we dont accept authority of Guru then I dont see the difference between parampara and open forums in the western world where the hierarchy of pranama is completely different. Dont take me as blindsided, dogmatic - its simply the issue of proportion.I had no intention to put bad emotion or low standart of discussion so forgive me any bad usage of words.

So the problem is somewhere else.. Sanjayji in the lecture about diseases takes the division on diseases from Prasna Marga and uses this in Natal. In the same place we do with Badhak and other things. In Pransa Marga are many things which are general in nature - like marriages (also in natal), ashtakavarga, remedies, division of madness etc. Regards, Rafal Gendarz SJC Guru www.rohinaa. com (+48) 503 44 18 18 Shailesh C Chadha napisaÅ‚(a):  || Om Gurave Namah | Om Namo Narayanaya ||  Namaste Visti, Let me start by saying that I am saddened with your response. I do not expect a SJC guru to brush-off some very relevant quotes from classics as mere statistics. If that was to be so, then why do we study them? Is it only for the purpose of selectively quoting from them when it suits our line of argument and dismiss the contrary as irrelevant or unreliable? I am sorry but that is not the way any healthy discussion can be carried out - it just shows "assumed" intellectual arrogance and it is the first step towards decline in learning. And, to me the bottomline is that BPHS is the supreme jyotish fointain-head; every thing else is a commentary or a learning-aid. Unless logically proved other-wise, no dictum or parampara or Guru can over-ride BPHS teachings. I do not have to remind you that " Sri Jagannath Center (SJC) was established in India with the objective of teaching jyotish in the tradition of maharishis like Parasara and Jaimini. " Incidentally, neither you, nor Rafal has offered any logical agrument to contradict what I have quoted. Prasna Marga is just that - applicable only on Prasna - so please do not use it for natal charts. Regards, - Shailesh - Visti Larsen @ . com Tuesday, April 17, 2007 8:25 PM Re: [Om Krishna Guru] Re: Karaka for sixth house हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, Namaskar Rafal has a point which also answers this question. All bhavas have a root signification and that is why there is one MAIN karaka for each bhava. I.e. we are suffering from the six weaknesses because we could not keep our purity in the past life times. I.e. because we were too prone to anger in this life our anger will be tested. Because we were too attached to money in the past we will be put in situations where taking money can carry serious problems. The root cause is our lack of purity or excess of sin/ripu. Thus MANY MANY classics refer to the sixth bhava by the name 'ripu' and from it we get diseases, accidents, fights, enemies and all the other significations explained by Parasara. These are however the negative indications and are all indicated by Saturn as it is he who carries our dustha karma from many lifetimes and gives it to us in the form of dukha or sorrow. Now you qoute many classics, but mere statistics won't help us. Especially the word 'sin' can have different meanings in sanskrit. Prasna Marga is to my knowledge the only one who has attempted to make this clear differentiation for us when describing the nature of diseases. He states: rogästu dvividhä jïeyä nijägantuvidbhedetaù Translation: Two types of diseases (roga) are to be known. Nija and ä gantu are the two. Harihara later explains that nija is seen from the eighth and fifth houses, whilst agantu is seen from the sixth and badhaka houses. Nija dosha specifically refers to ones OWN karma/dosha. It refers to the bad karma we have caused unto others/the world. Agantuka refers to the karma caused upon oneself... i.e. how you treated yourself For this reason it is taught in the tradition that the eighth lords RASI will show the place of the disease arising out of nija dosha, whereas the sixth lords BHAVA will show the diseases arising out of ones weaknesses/sin. .. I.e. the Rasis show the world/God whilst the bhavas are created by the individual. Deep rooted perspective indeed. I hope the above makes the paramparas perspective much clearer. Karaka literally means: 'kara' acting/doer; 'ka' does. I.e. the one who acts on behalf of another actor/doer. The closest English word is significator. By making the karaka of a house strong you will overcome the issues associated with that house. I.e. If the digestive fire is good (sun) then the health will be perfect (lagna). If you keep celibacy or purity (mars or some say mercury) then the weaknesses will go away (sixth house). But... this is very idealistic. Most people have the sins already and are acting on behalf of them, and really what they need to do is renounce them and be strong enough to carry them before projecting them on others. This act of carrying the sins is that of Saturn and by making Saturn auspicious the native will never see sorrow and easily cross this life. For this reason Saturn acts as a very strong contender for the karakatva of the sixth house, and this is how the tradition treats it. So recite Om Namo Bhagavate Akuparaaya| and be strong to carry your sins. I hope this clarifies everything.

BPHS mentions 8th house for RIPU and your focus is SHAD-RIPU - provided GC Sharmas version is accurate(as you said); Just as you have mentioned to Tarun - it has to be decided after thorough comparison. So, lets leave that aside for the moment. I will twist your question slightly: is the sixth house confined ONLY to our internal weaknesses (saturn) and the various problems associated with it? Is it right to disregard all other significations of 6 th house and consider only shad-ripus? Please also consider the following - BPHS: Ch. 17. Effects of 6th House 2. Ulcers/Bruises. Should 6ths Lord be in 6th itself, or in Lagna, or 8th, there will be ulcers, or bruises on the body. The RÄÅ›i, becoming 6th House, will lead to the knowledge of the concerned limb. Ch. 19. Effects of 8th House 2. Short Life. Should 8ths Lord join Lagnas Lord, or a malefic and be in 8th itself, the native will be short lived. Ch. 24. Effects of the House Lords 1.Effects of Lagnas Lord in Various Houses If Lagnas Lord is in 6th House and related to a malefic the native will be devoid of physical happiness and will be troubled by enemies, if there is no benefic Aspect. If Lagnas Lord is in 8th House, the native will be an accomplished scholar, be sickly, thievish, be given to much anger, be a gambler and will join others wives 61. Effects of 6ths Lord in Various Houses If 6ths Lord is in 1st House, the native will be sickly, famous, inimical to his own men, rich, honourable, adventurous and virtuous. 85. Effects of 8ths Lord in Various Houses If 8ths Lord is in 1st House, the native will be devoid of physical felicity and will suffer from wounds. He will be hostile to gods and Brahmins. Satya Jataka The sixth house signifies diseases, troubles from enemies, worries, injuries, litigation, sorrows, maternal uncle, injuries, armies, mental worries and legal involvements. The eighth house signifies longevity, misfortunes, sins, debts, enmity, death, difficulties, impediments, grief and unhappiness resulting from sins committed in previous births, sudden and untimely death and enemies Mars: He represents thick red colour, fire, bricks, power, thorny trees, wild animals, mosquitoes, bugs, sheep, bones, brothers, lands, houses, anger, war, instruments, thieves, marrow of the bone, bitter taste, energy, prowess, sin, wounds, battles, enemies, daring acts, cruelty and torture, roaming in forests, bronze, golden waist-string, pomp and show and a house on fire. Saturn: indicates evil nature, cunningness, impediments, wickedness, servants, mean acts, thieves, old dilapidated houses, bitter fruits, forests, fruits with thick skin, wild flowers, trees full of thorns, bamboos, palmyra trees, margosa trees and wild animals. Daivagyna Vallabha Ill health, bad state, enemies, servants, cruel deeds, heavy actions, witchcraft applied by enemies with an intention of killing enemies, doubts, wars, uncle, buffaloes, diseases, etc. are to be considered from the sixth house. Longevity and enmity, death, ruling powers, strife, quarrels, cleft, quarrels among relatives, hatred, places difficult to approach, fort, destruction of wife and enemies, crossing of rivers etc. are to be seen from the eighth house. In most of the above quotes, sins and similar weaknesses have been associated with 8 th house. Furthermore, Sixth house is part of Artha Trikona – would not a Rajasic planet be a better significator?  Regards,  - Shailesh On 17 Apr 2007 00:45:42 -0700, Visti Larsen <visti (AT) srigaruda (DOT) com> wrote: हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, Namaskar I checked BPHS and found the translation in line with what you have said.

Parasara has just further shown that this can also be seen in the eighth house which is fine. o Reg.

Guest guest Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, Namaskar Just to clarify: The event of Sanjayji teaching that Saturn is the main-karaka of the sixth house is not one isolated to Serbia. When i travelled with him throughout 2002-2005 he has always maintained this in the discussions reg. karaka. It had become such an ingrain part of jyotish for me that i taught the same to others as well. It was almost as a given. Rafal trust the tradition, which is good but we must all ask: Why is the tradition right? and thereby question and make our foundation stronger. I guess for Rafal this discussion is just to trivial. Btw. how do you seek to use this knowledge of the main-karaka? Yours sincerely, -- Visti Larsen - SJC Guru Jaimini SJC - Denmark email: visti For consultations, free mp3's and articles visit: http://srigaruda.com Shailesh C Chadha wrote:  || Om Gurave Namah | Om Namo Narayanaya || Namaste Rafal, I think no useful purpose is going to be served by going through the classics. You have very clearly expressed your total disregard for the sastras when you replied to Upenrda saying: << I repeat once again, there is (1) sastra and (2) parampara. Being in SJC means that You accept the teachings of the tradition. If thats the teaching of the tradition it must be accepted and THEN you must change Your perspective and with this new vision look at sastra's or seek the explanation and discuss these points. If You do the opposite then its not the parampara anymore as then the hierarchy id disturbed. If Sanjayji says its Sani, then what I can do with my understanding of sanksrit, classics and all that - that demands a real study which can take Your ten years, I put weightage to my time and the Guru gives shortcuts in our way to Jyotish which normally takes few lifetimes. Of course there are some people which question Sanjayji words and follow own opinion, thats their way of understanding.>> And let me make it clear - you have no respect for Sanjay ji's words either. Sarbani, and others, have given extensive quotes in the past from COVA and various papers of Sanjay ji where he has clearly mentioned as Mars to be the Karaka for 6th house. But, unfortunately, you are fixated on what you and Visti say was mentioned by Sanjay ji in Serbia. At that point of time, you and Visti diverted the discussion to Shad-ripus. Then, when I produced qoutes and arguments to show that shad-ripus are in the domain of 8th house, you say that you are not interested in shad-ripus. What exactly do you want to prove? Are you aware that Parampara and Guru are to take one to the path of truth, not to negate the truth. Where sastras are silent, Parampara and Guru are paramount. But where Sastras are clear and specific, no Parampara or Guru can, or should, go against it. In such a case, if it cannot be proved that the sastras are corrupted, one may have to conlude that the teachings of such a Guru or Parampara are flawed. Can any one in these lists doubt the sincerety of Narsimha Rao to SJC. Yet, can you recall how many times he has questioned Sanjay ji and persisted till he received the correct explanation?

Regards, - Shailesh - Visti Larsen @ . com Tuesday, April 17, 2007 8:25 PM Re: [Om Krishna Guru] Re: Karaka for sixth house हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, Namaskar Rafal has a point which also answers this question. All bhavas have a root signification and that is why there is one MAIN karaka for each bhava. I.e. we are suffering from the six weaknesses because we could not keep our purity in the past life times. I.e. because we were too prone to anger in this life our anger will be tested. Because we were too attached to money in the past we will be put in situations where taking money can carry serious problems. The root cause is our lack of purity or excess of sin/ripu. Thus MANY MANY classics refer to the sixth bhava by the name 'ripu' and from it we get diseases, accidents, fights, enemies and all the other significations explained by Parasara. These are however the negative indications and are all indicated by Saturn as it is he who carries our dustha karma from many lifetimes and gives it to us in the form of dukha or sorrow. Now you qoute many classics, but mere statistics won't help us. Especially the word 'sin' can have different meanings in sanskrit. Prasna Marga is to my knowledge the only one who has attempted to make this clear differentiation for us when describing the nature of diseases. He states: rogästu dvividhä jïeyä nijägantuvidbhedetaù Translation: Two types of diseases (roga) are to be known. Nija and ä gantu are the two. Harihara later explains that nija is seen from the eighth and fifth houses, whilst agantu is seen from the sixth and badhaka houses. Nija dosha specifically refers to ones OWN karma/dosha. It refers to the bad karma we have caused unto others/the world. Agantuka refers to the karma caused upon oneself... i.e. how you treated yourself For this reason it is taught in the tradition that the eighth lords RASI will show the place of the disease arising out of nija dosha, whereas the sixth lords BHAVA will show the diseases arising out of ones weaknesses/sin. .. I.e. the Rasis show the world/God whilst the bhavas are created by the individual. Deep rooted perspective indeed. I hope the above makes the paramparas perspective much clearer. Karaka literally means: 'kara' acting/doer; 'ka' does. I.e. the one who acts on behalf of another actor/doer. The closest English word is significator. By making the karaka of a house strong you will overcome the issues associated with that house. I.e. If the digestive fire is good (sun) then the health will be perfect (lagna). If you keep celibacy or purity (mars or some say mercury) then the weaknesses will go away (sixth house). But... this is very idealistic. Most people have the sins already and are acting on behalf of them, and really what they need to do is renounce them and be strong enough to carry them before projecting them on others. This act of carrying the sins is that of Saturn and by making Saturn auspicious the native will never see sorrow and easily cross this life. For this reason Saturn acts as a very strong contender for the karakatva of the sixth house, and this is how the tradition treats it. So recite Om Namo Bhagavate Akuparaaya| and be strong to carry your sins. I hope this clarifies everything.

BPHS mentions 8th house for RIPU and your focus is SHAD-RIPU - provided GC Sharmas version is accurate(as you said); Just as you have mentioned to Tarun - it has to be decided after thorough comparison. So, lets leave that aside for the moment. I will twist your question slightly: is the sixth house confined ONLY to our internal weaknesses (saturn) and the various problems associated with it? Is it right to disregard all other significations of 6 th house and consider only shad-ripus? Please also consider the following - BPHS: Ch. 17. Effects of 6th House 2. Ulcers/Bruises. Should 6ths Lord be in 6th itself, or in Lagna, or 8th, there will be ulcers, or bruises on the body. The RÄÅ›i, becoming 6th House, will lead to the knowledge of the concerned limb. Ch. 19. Effects of 8th House 2. Short Life. Should 8ths Lord join Lagnas Lord, or a malefic and be in 8th itself, the native will be short lived. Ch. 24. Effects of the House Lords 1.Effects of Lagnas Lord in Various Houses If Lagnas Lord is in 6th House and related to a malefic the native will be devoid of physical happiness and will be troubled by enemies, if there is no benefic Aspect. If Lagnas Lord is in 8th House, the native will be an accomplished scholar, be sickly, thievish, be given to much anger, be a gambler and will join others wives 61. Effects of 6ths Lord in Various Houses If 6ths Lord is in 1st House, the native will be sickly, famous, inimical to his own men, rich, honourable, adventurous and virtuous. 85. Effects of 8ths Lord in Various Houses If 8ths Lord is in 1st House, the native will be devoid of physical felicity and will suffer from wounds. He will be hostile to gods and Brahmins. Satya Jataka The sixth house signifies diseases, troubles from enemies, worries, injuries, litigation, sorrows, maternal uncle, injuries, armies, mental worries and legal involvements. The eighth house signifies longevity, misfortunes, sins, debts, enmity, death, difficulties, impediments, grief and unhappiness resulting from sins committed in previous births, sudden and untimely death and enemies Mars: He represents thick red colour, fire, bricks, power, thorny trees, wild animals, mosquitoes, bugs, sheep, bones, brothers, lands, houses, anger, war, instruments, thieves, marrow of the bone, bitter taste, energy, prowess, sin, wounds, battles, enemies, daring acts, cruelty and torture, roaming in forests, bronze, golden waist-string, pomp and show and a house on fire. Saturn: indicates evil nature, cunningness, impediments, wickedness, servants, mean acts, thieves, old dilapidated houses, bitter fruits, forests, fruits with thick skin, wild flowers, trees full of thorns, bamboos, palmyra trees, margosa trees and wild animals. Daivagyna Vallabha Ill health, bad state, enemies, servants, cruel deeds, heavy actions, witchcraft applied by enemies with an intention of killing enemies, doubts, wars, uncle, buffaloes, diseases, etc. are to be considered from the sixth house. Longevity and enmity, death, ruling powers, strife, quarrels, cleft, quarrels among relatives, hatred, places difficult to approach, fort, destruction of wife and enemies, crossing of rivers etc. are to be seen from the eighth house. In most of the above quotes, sins and similar weaknesses have been associated with 8 th house. Furthermore, Sixth house is part of Artha Trikona – would not a Rajasic planet be a better significator?  Regards,  - Shailesh On 17 Apr 2007 00:45:42 -0700, Visti Larsen <visti (AT) srigaruda (DOT) com> wrote: हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, Namaskar I checked BPHS and found the translation in line with what you have said.

Further Sharma does comment that in the Bombay edition of BPHS this sloka doesn't mention enemies at all. Btw. most scripts accept the word 'ripu' as a well known indicator of the sixth house. Parasara has just further shown that this can also be seen in the eighth house which is fine. o Reg. Mars vs. Saturn for the sixth house karakatva o Satyacharya also mentions Saturn whilst Parasara mentions Mars. The question is do we accept that the sixth house shows our internal weaknesses (saturn) and because of these the various problems in life arise.

Maternal uncle, doubts about death, enemies, ulcers, step-mother etc. are to be estimated from Ari Bhava.  Indications of Randhr Bhava. Randhr Bhava indicates longevity, battle, enemies, forts, wealth of the dead and things, that have happened and are to happen (in the past and future births).  Therefore, you are correct is associating Saturn with Shad-ripus, and weaknesses, but do not assign the 6th bhava karakatwa to Saturn.  BPHS assigns it to Mars and we have no reason, or any logical explanation to go against it.  Regards,  - Shailesh @ . com, Visti Larsen <visti wrote: > > ??? ??? ?????? > > Dear Tarun, Namaskar > I have just come home from Serbia and saw your mail. > > Some words from the Serbian Orthodox priests have been repeating > themselves in my mind.

When i travelled with him throughout 2002-2005 he has always maintained this in the discussions reg. karaka. It had become such an ingrain part of jyotish for me that i taught the same to others as well. It was almost as a given.

You have very clearly expressed your total disregard for the sastras when you replied to Upenrda saying: << I repeat once again, there is (1) sastra and (2) parampara. Being in SJC means that You accept the teachings of the tradition. If thats the teaching of the tradition it must be accepted and THEN you must change Your perspective and with this new vision look at sastra's or seek the explanation and discuss these points. If You do the opposite then its not the parampara anymore as then the hierarchy id disturbed. If Sanjayji says its Sani, then what I can do with my understanding of sanksrit, classics and all that - that demands a real study which can take Your ten years, I put weightage to my time and the Guru gives shortcuts in our way to Jyotish which normally takes few lifetimes. Of course there are some people which question Sanjayji words and follow own opinion, thats their way of understanding.>> And let me make it clear - you have no respect for Sanjay ji's words either. Sarbani, and others, have given extensive quotes in the past from COVA and various papers of Sanjay ji where he has clearly mentioned as Mars to be the Karaka for 6th house. But, unfortunately, you are fixated on what you and Visti say was mentioned by Sanjay ji in Serbia. At that point of time, you and Visti diverted the discussion to Shad-ripus. Then, when I produced qoutes and arguments to show that shad-ripus are in the domain of 8th house, you say that you are not interested in shad-ripus. What exactly do you want to prove? Are you aware that Parampara and Guru are to take one to the path of truth, not to negate the truth. Where sastras are silent, Parampara and Guru are paramount. But where Sastras are clear and specific, no Parampara or Guru can, or should, go against it. In such a case, if it cannot be proved that the sastras are corrupted, one may have to conlude that the teachings of such a Guru or Parampara are flawed. Can any one in these lists doubt the sincerety of Narsimha Rao to SJC. Yet, can you recall how many times he has questioned Sanjay ji and persisted till he received the correct explanation? Not that I equate my self to Narsimha but I do intend to be a true seeker of knowledge and truth. In Indian traditions, that is what we are taught.

For this reason Saturn acts as a very strong contender for the karakatva of the sixth house, and this is how the tradition treats it. So recite Om Namo Bhagavate Akuparaaya| and be strong to carry your sins. I hope this clarifies everything.

Shad-ripus are six enemies - the enemies within. - or weaknesses Weakness, and even enmity, is indicated by 8th bhava, not 6th. As per BPHS: Indications of Ari Bhava. Maternal uncle, doubts about death, enemies, ulcers, step-mother etc. are to be estimated from Ari Bhava. Indications of Randhr Bhava. Randhr Bhava indicates longevity, battle, enemies, forts, wealth of the dead and things, that have happened and are to happen (in the past and future births). Therefore, you are correct is associating Saturn with Shad-ripus, and weaknesses, but do not assign the 6th bhava karakatwa to Saturn.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 [ Hare Rama Krsna ]Dear Rafal,I hadn't missed this. It is exactly the point. What does it matter which planet between Saturn and Mars is the MAIN karaka. Point is they are both needed and used for specific purposes. If Parasara mentions Mars we should not assume he was negating Saturn, and if the Parampara mentions Saturn then it does not mean neglect Mars. See how both are used, because as this thread has demonstrated both can be used, it is only a matter of proper application. This flexibility is what is needed otherwise camps are formed, people take sides, fences are built and divisions are made where there are none.Respectfully,Michal[ Om Namo Narayanaya ] Rafal Gendarz <starsuponme Sent: Thursday, April 19, 2007 11:06:19 AMRe: [Om Krishna Guru] Re: Karaka for sixth house hare rama krsna Dear Michal, One use of this was just given: Karaka is to see how to cure the curse in the sixth bhava when the lord and karaka are badly placed, pointing the right remedy is like giving the right medicine.

You have very clearly expressed your total disregard for the sastras when you replied to Upenrda saying: << I repeat once again, there is (1) sastra and (2) parampara. Being in SJC means that You accept the teachings of the tradition. If thats the teaching of the tradition it must be accepted and THEN you must change Your perspective and with this new vision look at sastra's or seek the explanation and discuss these points. If You do the opposite then its not the parampara anymore as then the hierarchy id disturbed. If Sanjayji says its Sani, then what I can do with my understanding of sanksrit, classics and all that - that demands a real study which can take Your ten years, I put weightage to my time and the Guru gives shortcuts in our way to Jyotish which normally takes few lifetimes. Of course there are some people which question Sanjayji words and follow own opinion, thats their way of understanding.>> And let me make it clear - you have no respect for Sanjay ji's words either. Sarbani, and others, have given extensive quotes in the past from COVA and various papers of Sanjay ji where he has clearly mentioned as Mars to be the Karaka for 6th house. But, unfortunately, you are fixated on what you and Visti say was mentioned by Sanjay ji in Serbia. At that point of time, you and Visti diverted the discussion to Shad-ripus. Then, when I produced qoutes and arguments to show that shad-ripus are in the domain of 8th house, you say that you are not interested in shad-ripus. What exactly do you want to prove? Are you aware that Parampara and Guru are to take one to the path of truth, not to negate the truth. Where sastras are silent, Parampara and Guru are paramount. But where Sastras are clear and specific, no Parampara or Guru can, or should, go against it. In such a case, if it cannot be proved that the sastras are corrupted, one may have to conlude that the teachings of such a Guru or Parampara are flawed. Can any one in these lists doubt the sincerety of Narsimha Rao to SJC. Yet, can you recall how many times he has questioned Sanjay ji and persisted till he received the correct explanation? Not that I equate my self to Narsimha but I do intend to be a true seeker of knowledge and truth. In Indian traditions, that is what we are taught. Now, it is up to you to decide whether you are a seeker of truth or a blind-follower.

Ultimately, we are here to learn and thats what our focus should be. Please also understand that I have the utmost respect for my Guru and I am sure no true Guru will purposely teach what is wrong. And, the highest of the Gurus have always encouraged their shishyas to go out and seek the truth, they too accept that they are human and are always ready to acknowledge their errors. If Sanjay ji has changed his view-point from what he has mentioned in COVA and elsewhere, he should have a good reason for the same and he has to reveal the same. Till such time, I suggest we go with the classics. And there are very strong reasons to do so, as I have mentioned in my mails to Visti and Upendra has, in his latest mail.

For our logic the anumana is important and for our faith the sabda element is important, I recognized that You respect the logic in the big way. I do the same but in the different proportion, therefore for me it was weird that Sanjayji words are not final. Therefore there is big benefit to Your discusion with sanskrit terms, philosophy of enemies vs flaws and all that, but if we dont accept authority of Guru then I dont see the difference between parampara and open forums in the western world where the hierarchy of pranama is completely different.

So the problem is somewhere else.. Sanjayji in the lecture about diseases takes the division on diseases from Prasna Marga and uses this in Natal. In the same place we do with Badhak and other things. In Pransa Marga are many things which are general in nature - like marriages (also in natal), ashtakavarga, remedies, division of madness etc. Regards, Rafal Gendarz SJC Guru www.rohinaa. com (+48) 503 44 18 18 Shailesh C Chadha napisaÅ‚(a):  || Om Gurave Namah | Om Namo Narayanaya || Namaste Visti, Let me start by saying that I am saddened with your response. I do not expect a SJC guru to brush-off some very relevant quotes from classics as mere statistics. If that was to be so, then why do we study them? Is it only for the purpose of selectively quoting from them when it suits our line of argument and dismiss the contrary as irrelevant or unreliable? I am sorry but that is not the way any healthy discussion can be carried out - it just shows "assumed" intellectual arrogance and it is the first step towards decline in learning. And, to me the bottomline is that BPHS is the supreme jyotish fointain-head; every thing else is a commentary or a learning-aid. Unless logically proved other-wise, no dictum or parampara or Guru can over-ride BPHS teachings. I do not have to remind you that " Sri Jagannath Center (SJC) was established in India with the objective of teaching jyotish in the tradition of maharishis like Parasara and Jaimini. " Incidentally, neither you, nor Rafal has offered any logical agrument to contradict what I have quoted. Prasna Marga is just that - applicable only on Prasna - so please do not use it for natal charts. Regards, - Shailesh - Visti Larsen @ . com Tuesday, April 17, 2007 8:25 PM Re: [Om Krishna Guru] Re: Karaka for sixth house हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, Namaskar Rafal has a point which also answers this question. All bhavas have a root signification and that is why there is one MAIN karaka for each bhava. I.e. we are suffering from the six weaknesses because we could not keep our purity in the past life times. I.e. because we were too prone to anger in this life our anger will be tested. Because we were too attached to money in the past we will be put in situations where taking money can carry serious problems. The root cause is our lack of purity or excess of sin/ripu. Thus MANY MANY classics refer to the sixth bhava by the name 'ripu' and from it we get diseases, accidents, fights, enemies and all the other significations explained by Parasara. These are however the negative indications and are all indicated by Saturn as it is he who carries our dustha karma from many lifetimes and gives it to us in the form of dukha or sorrow. Now you qoute many classics, but mere statistics won't help us. Especially the word 'sin' can have different meanings in sanskrit. Prasna Marga is to my knowledge the only one who has attempted to make this clear differentiation for us when describing the nature of diseases. He states: rogästu dvividhä jïeyä nijägantuvidbhedetaù Translation: Two types of diseases (roga) are to be known. Nija and ä gantu are the two. Harihara later explains that nija is seen from the eighth and fifth houses, whilst agantu is seen from the sixth and badhaka houses. Nija dosha specifically refers to ones OWN karma/dosha. It refers to the bad karma we have caused unto others/the world. Agantuka refers to the karma caused upon oneself... i.e. how you treated yourself For this reason it is taught in the tradition that the eighth lords RASI will show the place of the disease arising out of nija dosha, whereas the sixth lords BHAVA will show the diseases arising out of ones weaknesses/sin. .. I.e. the Rasis show the world/God whilst the bhavas are created by the individual. Deep rooted perspective indeed. I hope the above makes the paramparas perspective much clearer. Karaka literally means: 'kara' acting/doer; 'ka' does. I.e. the one who acts on behalf of another actor/doer. The closest English word is significator. By making the karaka of a house strong you will overcome the issues associated with that house. I.e. If the digestive fire is good (sun) then the health will be perfect (lagna). If you keep celibacy or purity (mars or some say mercury) then the weaknesses will go away (sixth house). But... this is very idealistic. Most people have the sins already and are acting on behalf of them, and really what they need to do is renounce them and be strong enough to carry them before projecting them on others. This act of carrying the sins is that of Saturn and by making Saturn auspicious the native will never see sorrow and easily cross this life. For this reason Saturn acts as a very strong contender for the karakatva of the sixth house, and this is how the tradition treats it. So recite Om Namo Bhagavate Akuparaaya| and be strong to carry your sins. I hope this clarifies everything.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 hare rama krsna Dear Michal,    Yes, if the Lagnesh has good sambandha (nais & tatk) with sixth lord then it can be the Mars while in other case the Sani, it also depends on which part of sixth bhava we are talking. I dont want to engaged further in the discussion because they completely misunderstood what I was trying to 'say' accusing me of funny things. Regards, Rafal Gendarz SJC Guru www.rohinaa.com (+48) 503 44 18 18 Michal Dziwulski napisaÅ‚(a): [ Hare Rama Krsna ] Dear Rafal, I hadn't missed this. It is exactly the point. What does it matter which planet between Saturn and Mars is the MAIN karaka. Point is they are both needed and used for specific purposes. If Parasara mentions Mars we should not assume he was negating Saturn, and if the Parampara mentions Saturn then it does not mean neglect Mars. See how both are used, because as this thread has demonstrated both can be used, it is only a matter of proper application. This flexibility is what is needed otherwise camps are formed, people take sides, fences are built and divisions are made where there are none.

When i travelled with him throughout 2002-2005 he has always maintained this in the discussions reg. karaka. It had become such an ingrain part of jyotish for me that i taught the same to others as well. It was almost as a given. Rafal trust the tradition, which is good but we must all ask: Why is the tradition right? and thereby question and make our foundation stronger. I guess for Rafal this discussion is just to trivial. Btw. how do you seek to use this knowledge of the main-karaka?

You have very clearly expressed your total disregard for the sastras when you replied to Upenrda saying: << I repeat once again, there is (1) sastra and (2) parampara. Being in SJC means that You accept the teachings of the tradition. If thats the teaching of the tradition it must be accepted and THEN you must change Your perspective and with this new vision look at sastra's or seek the explanation and discuss these points. If You do the opposite then its not the parampara anymore as then the hierarchy id disturbed. If Sanjayji says its Sani, then what I can do with my understanding of sanksrit, classics and all that - that demands a real study which can take Your ten years, I put weightage to my time and the Guru gives shortcuts in our way to Jyotish which normally takes few lifetimes. Of course there are some people which question Sanjayji words and follow own opinion, thats their way of understanding.>> And let me make it clear - you have no respect for Sanjay ji's words either. Sarbani, and others, have given extensive quotes in the past from COVA and various papers of Sanjay ji where he has clearly mentioned as Mars to be the Karaka for 6th house. But, unfortunately, you are fixated on what you and Visti say was mentioned by Sanjay ji in Serbia. At that point of time, you and Visti diverted the discussion to Shad-ripus. Then, when I produced qoutes and arguments to show that shad-ripus are in the domain of 8th house, you say that you are not interested in shad-ripus. What exactly do you want to prove? Are you aware that Parampara and Guru are to take one to the path of truth, not to negate the truth. Where sastras are silent, Parampara and Guru are paramount. But where Sastras are clear and specific, no Parampara or Guru can, or should, go against it. In such a case, if it cannot be proved that the sastras are corrupted, one may have to conlude that the teachings of such a Guru or Parampara are flawed. Can any one in these lists doubt the sincerety of Narsimha Rao to SJC. Yet, can you recall how many times he has questioned Sanjay ji and persisted till he received the correct explanation? Not that I equate my self to Narsimha but I do intend to be a true seeker of knowledge and truth. In Indian traditions, that is what we are taught. Now, it is up to you to decide whether you are a seeker of truth or a blind-follower.

Ultimately, we are here to learn and thats what our focus should be. Please also understand that I have the utmost respect for my Guru and I am sure no true Guru will purposely teach what is wrong. And, the highest of the Gurus have always encouraged their shishyas to go out and seek the truth, they too accept that they are human and are always ready to acknowledge their errors. If Sanjay ji has changed his view-point from what he has mentioned in COVA and elsewhere, he should have a good reason for the same and he has to reveal the same. Till such time, I suggest we go with the classics. And there are very strong reasons to do so, as I have mentioned in my mails to Visti and Upendra has, in his latest mail.

For our logic the anumana is important and for our faith the sabda element is important, I recognized that You respect the logic in the big way. I do the same but in the different proportion, therefore for me it was weird that Sanjayji words are not final. Therefore there is big benefit to Your discusion with sanskrit terms, philosophy of enemies vs flaws and all that, but if we dont accept authority of Guru then I dont see the difference between parampara and open forums in the western world where the hierarchy of pranama is completely different. Dont take me as blindsided, dogmatic - its simply the issue of proportion.I had no intention to put bad emotion or low standart of discussion so forgive me any bad usage of words.

So the problem is somewhere else.. Sanjayji in the lecture about diseases takes the division on diseases from Prasna Marga and uses this in Natal. In the same place we do with Badhak and other things. In Pransa Marga are many things which are general in nature - like marriages (also in natal), ashtakavarga, remedies, division of madness etc. Regards, Rafal Gendarz SJC Guru www.rohinaa. com (+48) 503 44 18 18 Shailesh C Chadha napisaÅ‚(a):  || Om Gurave Namah | Om Namo Narayanaya ||  Namaste Visti, Let me start by saying that I am saddened with your response. I do not expect a SJC guru to brush-off some very relevant quotes from classics as mere statistics. If that was to be so, then why do we study them? Is it only for the purpose of selectively quoting from them when it suits our line of argument and dismiss the contrary as irrelevant or unreliable? I am sorry but that is not the way any healthy discussion can be carried out - it just shows "assumed" intellectual arrogance and it is the first step towards decline in learning. And, to me the bottomline is that BPHS is the supreme jyotish fointain-head; every thing else is a commentary or a learning-aid. Unless logically proved other-wise, no dictum or parampara or Guru can over-ride BPHS teachings. I do not have to remind you that " Sri Jagannath Center (SJC) was established in India with the objective of teaching jyotish in the tradition of maharishis like Parasara and Jaimini. " Incidentally, neither you, nor Rafal has offered any logical agrument to contradict what I have quoted. Prasna Marga is just that - applicable only on Prasna - so please do not use it for natal charts. Regards, - Shailesh - Visti Larsen @ . com Tuesday, April 17, 2007 8:25 PM Re: [Om Krishna Guru] Re: Karaka for sixth house हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, Namaskar Rafal has a point which also answers this question. All bhavas have a root signification and that is why there is one MAIN karaka for each bhava. I.e. we are suffering from the six weaknesses because we could not keep our purity in the past life times. I.e. because we were too prone to anger in this life our anger will be tested. Because we were too attached to money in the past we will be put in situations where taking money can carry serious problems. The root cause is our lack of purity or excess of sin/ripu. Thus MANY MANY classics refer to the sixth bhava by the name 'ripu' and from it we get diseases, accidents, fights, enemies and all the other significations explained by Parasara. These are however the negative indications and are all indicated by Saturn as it is he who carries our dustha karma from many lifetimes and gives it to us in the form of dukha or sorrow. Now you qoute many classics, but mere statistics won't help us. Especially the word 'sin' can have different meanings in sanskrit. Prasna Marga is to my knowledge the only one who has attempted to make this clear differentiation for us when describing the nature of diseases. He states: rogästu dvividhä jïeyä nijägantuvidbhedetaù Translation: Two types of diseases (roga) are to be known. Nija and ä gantu are the two. Harihara later explains that nija is seen from the eighth and fifth houses, whilst agantu is seen from the sixth and badhaka houses. Nija dosha specifically refers to ones OWN karma/dosha. It refers to the bad karma we have caused unto others/the world. Agantuka refers to the karma caused upon oneself... i.e. how you treated yourself For this reason it is taught in the tradition that the eighth lords RASI will show the place of the disease arising out of nija dosha, whereas the sixth lords BHAVA will show the diseases arising out of ones weaknesses/sin. .. I.e. the Rasis show the world/God whilst the bhavas are created by the individual. Deep rooted perspective indeed. I hope the above makes the paramparas perspective much clearer. Karaka literally means: 'kara' acting/doer; 'ka' does. I.e. the one who acts on behalf of another actor/doer. The closest English word is significator. By making the karaka of a house strong you will overcome the issues associated with that house. I.e. If the digestive fire is good (sun) then the health will be perfect (lagna). If you keep celibacy or purity (mars or some say mercury) then the weaknesses will go away (sixth house). But... this is very idealistic. Most people have the sins already and are acting on behalf of them, and really what they need to do is renounce them and be strong enough to carry them before projecting them on others. This act of carrying the sins is that of Saturn and by making Saturn auspicious the native will never see sorrow and easily cross this life. For this reason Saturn acts as a very strong contender for the karakatva of the sixth house, and this is how the tradition treats it. So recite Om Namo Bhagavate Akuparaaya| and be strong to carry your sins. I hope this clarifies everything.

BPHS mentions 8th house for RIPU and your focus is SHAD-RIPU - provided GC Sharmas version is accurate(as you said); Just as you have mentioned to Tarun - it has to be decided after thorough comparison. So, lets leave that aside for the moment. I will twist your question slightly: is the sixth house confined ONLY to our internal weaknesses (saturn) and the various problems associated with it? Is it right to disregard all other significations of 6 th house and consider only shad-ripus? Please also consider the following - BPHS: Ch. 17. Effects of 6th House 2. Ulcers/Bruises. Should 6ths Lord be in 6th itself, or in Lagna, or 8th, there will be ulcers, or bruises on the body. The RÄÅ›i, becoming 6th House, will lead to the knowledge of the concerned limb. Ch. 19. Effects of 8th House 2. Short Life. Should 8ths Lord join Lagnas Lord, or a malefic and be in 8th itself, the native will be short lived. Ch. 24. Effects of the House Lords 1.Effects of Lagnas Lord in Various Houses If Lagnas Lord is in 6th House and related to a malefic the native will be devoid of physical happiness and will be troubled by enemies, if there is no benefic Aspect. If Lagnas Lord is in 8th House, the native will be an accomplished scholar, be sickly, thievish, be given to much anger, be a gambler and will join others wives 61. Effects of 6ths Lord in Various Houses If 6ths Lord is in 1st House, the native will be sickly, famous, inimical to his own men, rich, honourable, adventurous and virtuous. 85. Effects of 8ths Lord in Various Houses If 8ths Lord is in 1st House, the native will be devoid of physical felicity and will suffer from wounds. He will be hostile to gods and Brahmins. Satya Jataka The sixth house signifies diseases, troubles from enemies, worries, injuries, litigation, sorrows, maternal uncle, injuries, armies, mental worries and legal involvements. The eighth house signifies longevity, misfortunes, sins, debts, enmity, death, difficulties, impediments, grief and unhappiness resulting from sins committed in previous births, sudden and untimely death and enemies Mars: He represents thick red colour, fire, bricks, power, thorny trees, wild animals, mosquitoes, bugs, sheep, bones, brothers, lands, houses, anger, war, instruments, thieves, marrow of the bone, bitter taste, energy, prowess, sin, wounds, battles, enemies, daring acts, cruelty and torture, roaming in forests, bronze, golden waist-string, pomp and show and a house on fire. Saturn: indicates evil nature, cunningness, impediments, wickedness, servants, mean acts, thieves, old dilapidated houses, bitter fruits, forests, fruits with thick skin, wild flowers, trees full of thorns, bamboos, palmyra trees, margosa trees and wild animals. Daivagyna Vallabha Ill health, bad state, enemies, servants, cruel deeds, heavy actions, witchcraft applied by enemies with an intention of killing enemies, doubts, wars, uncle, buffaloes, diseases, etc. are to be considered from the sixth house. Longevity and enmity, death, ruling powers, strife, quarrels, cleft, quarrels among relatives, hatred, places difficult to approach, fort, destruction of wife and enemies, crossing of rivers etc. are to be seen from the eighth house. In most of the above quotes, sins and similar weaknesses have been associated with 8 th house.

Guest guest Posted April 19, 2007 Report Share Posted April 19, 2007 hare rama krsna Dear Upendra, Ok. I was shocked how Shaileshji summarized my writings. Complete misunderstanding & uninspirating. No bad feelings from me. Regards, Rafal Gendarz SJC Guru www.rohinaa.com (+48) 503 44 18 18 upendra_agni napisał(a): || Vyam Vyasa Devaya Namah || Respected Rafal ji, Before starting anything I am a kid in astrology and I don't posses much knowledge like you. Kindly note that we are respecting your thoughts on karakas. Please note that we are only discussing on WHAT might be the reason of SJC considering Sani as primary Kara? To be honestly my intention is not to hurt or accuse you. I personally conceived this debate as focusing light on some basic steps which I had never focused on. I even had referred to many classics before starting the debate from my side. But while doing this Samvada (discussion) if I had hurt either any of you, I sincerely apologize for that. I have no right to hurt your personal feelings. Once again I sincerely apologize in case if my views hurted you.

Guest guest Posted April 20, 2007 Report Share Posted April 20, 2007 SARVAM GYANANANDAMAYAMAUM GURUBYO NAMAHDear Visti & Shailesh,Namaste. May i write a few lines in this regard?The great sage while introducing the names of grahas has given the name for Mars as Mangala. When he goes on to give the karakas for the bhavas he has used kuja for the 3rd and bhauma for the 6th bhava. Kuja gives a hint about base acts and bhauma gives hint about earthly/connected to earth. Both these words give a hint about Mars. Lord of Kalapurusha lagna Mars finds himself in inimical and earthly Kanya kshetra. Both Mars and the sign are tamasic and gives a clear cut hint about the possible outcome of enemity from the 6th bhava. This means that Mars is ill-at-ease in Kanya and does not care,nay, does not know as to what will happen by his reactions/responses to the impact the sign has on him. Thus Mars can easily arouse anger/krodha when confronted.While actions are a result of freewill the reactions are Karmic. As per yaksha prasna it is the dharma who causes the Sun to set. The 9th bhava causes the Sun which had manifested in the 1st bhava to set in the 7th bhava.This gives a clue that it is the eighth bhava which can cause the inactivitiy pertaining to the 12th bhava to come to a halt by causing karmic sensations/impulses in the 6th bhava. Thus Sani who is the karaka of 8th house is the karana/cause for the Karaka Mars to create waves relating to 6th bhava.(anger is a reaction and hence karmic).Everybody here knows that a planet plays a role by lording a rasi wherein another planet gets exalted. That planet which plays the role of lording a rasi is called as the peeta/base station. For example let us take Sun. He gets exalted in the sign Mesha the lord of which is Mars. Here Mars becomes the peeta. Let us now list out the karakas for all the bhavas and their peetas.Bhaava Karaka Karaka peeta1. Soorya Mars2. Guru Moon3. Kuja Sani4. Soma Sukra5. Guru Moon6. Bhauma Sani7. Sita Guru8. Sani Sukra9. Guru Moon 10. Chandrasuta Buda11. Jiva Moon 12. Manda Sukra(the nomenclature of the karaka grahas are worth noting)To summarise we have:1.1st bhava - karaka is Sun - Karaka peeta is Mangala2.2nd/5th/9th/11th - Karaka is Guru - Karaka peeta is Chandra3.3rd/6th - Karaka is Mars - Karaka peeta is Sani4.4th - Karaka is Moon - Karaka peeta is Sukra5.7th - Karka is Sukra - Karaka peeta is Guru6.8th/12th - Karaka is Sani - Karaka peeta is Sukra7.10th - Karaka is Buda - Karaka peeta is BudaSix peetas/ Shan matha:-Chandra peeta is associated with the worship of Vishnu/Narayana.Mangala peeta is associated with the worship of Surya.Buda peeta is associated with the worship of Ganapathi.Guru peeta is associated with the worship of Shiva.*Sukra peeta* is associated with the worship of Sakthi.Sani peeta is associated with the worship of Skandha.Please note that Sukra peeta has a say over Moon and Sani. Worship of Mother is the direct solution for sadesathi related issues. The development of Maatru vatsalya/jeeva karunya can help a great deal.As the peetas have control over the regulation of the kshetra they own, tradition banks upon them for restoration of things which have gone out of gear/control.i am sorry for the length of the mail.Ever ready to learn.Best wishes.May Mother Bless.Astrologically & spiritually yours,p.s.ramanarayanan.Visti Larsen <visti wrote: हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, Namaskar Just to clarify: The event of Sanjayji teaching that Saturn is the main-karaka of the sixth house is not one isolated to Serbia. When i travelled with him throughout 2002-2005 he has always maintained this in the discussions reg. karaka. It had become such an ingrain part of jyotish for me that i taught the same to others as well. It was almost as a given. Rafal trust the tradition, which is good but we must all ask: Why is the tradition right? and thereby question and make our foundation stronger. I guess for Rafal this discussion is just to trivial. Btw. how do you seek to use this knowledge of the main-karaka? Yours sincerely, -- Visti Larsen - SJC Guru Jaimini SJC - Denmark email: visti (AT) srigaruda (DOT) com For consultations, free mp3's and articles visit: http://srigaruda.com Shailesh C Chadha wrote:  || Om Gurave Namah | Om Namo Narayanaya || Namaste Rafal, I think no useful purpose is going to be served by going through the classics. You have very clearly expressed your total disregard for the sastras when you replied to Upenrda saying: << I repeat once again, there is (1) sastra and (2) parampara. Being in SJC means that You accept the teachings of the tradition. If thats the teaching of the tradition it must be accepted and THEN you must change Your perspective and with this new vision look at sastra's or seek the explanation and discuss these points. If You do the opposite then its not the parampara anymore as then the hierarchy id disturbed. If Sanjayji says its Sani, then what I can do with my understanding of sanksrit, classics and all that - that demands a real study which can take Your ten years, I put weightage to my time and the Guru gives shortcuts in our way to Jyotish which normally takes few lifetimes. Of course there are some people which question Sanjayji words and follow own opinion, thats their way of understanding.>> And let me make it clear - you have no respect for Sanjay ji's words either. Sarbani, and others, have given extensive quotes in the past from COVA and various papers of Sanjay ji where he has clearly mentioned as Mars to be the Karaka for 6th house. But, unfortunately, you are fixated on what you and Visti say was mentioned by Sanjay ji in Serbia. At that point of time, you and Visti diverted the discussion to Shad-ripus. Then, when I produced qoutes and arguments to show that shad-ripus are in the domain of 8th house, you say that you are not interested in shad-ripus. What exactly do you want to prove? Are you aware that Parampara and Guru are to take one to the path of truth, not to negate the truth. Where sastras are silent, Parampara and Guru are paramount. But where Sastras are clear and specific, no Parampara or Guru can, or should, go against it. In such a case, if it cannot be proved that the sastras are corrupted, one may have to conlude that the teachings of such a Guru or Parampara are flawed. Can any one in these lists doubt the sincerety of Narsimha Rao to SJC. Yet, can you recall how many times he has questioned Sanjay ji and persisted till he received the correct explanation? Not that I equate my self to Narsimha but I do intend to be a true seeker of knowledge and truth. In Indian traditions, that is what we are taught. Now, it is up to you to decide whether you are a seeker of truth or a blind-follower. Regards, - Shailesh   - Rafal Gendarz Wednesday, April 18, 2007 3:18 PM Re: [Om Krishna Guru] Re: Karaka for sixth house hare rama krsna Dear Shailesh, Yes...so to conclude we have two things to do (1) seek further in classics (2) ask Sanjayji for explanation..I dont have any more arguments here. Regards, Rafal Gendarz SJC Guru www.rohinaa.com (+48) 503 44 18 18 Shailesh C Chadha napisaÅ‚(a):  || Om Gurave Namah | Om Namo Narayanaya || Namaste Rafal, Lets forget the unpleasantness and take this discussion forward in a healthy and meaningful way. Ultimately, we are here to learn and thats what our focus should be. Please also understand that I have the utmost respect for my Guru and I am sure no true Guru will purposely teach what is wrong. And, the highest of the Gurus have always encouraged their shishyas to go out and seek the truth, they too accept that they are human and are always ready to acknowledge their errors. If Sanjay ji has changed his view-point from what he has mentioned in COVA and elsewhere, he should have a good reason for the same and he has to reveal the same. Till such time, I suggest we go with the classics. And there are very strong reasons to do so, as I have mentioned in my mails to Visti and Upendra has, in his latest mail. Regards, - Shailesh - Rafal Gendarz Wednesday, April 18, 2007 1:15 PM Re: [Om Krishna Guru] Re: Karaka for sixth house hare rama krsna Dear Shailesh, Yes, its all depends on Pranamas we accept. For our logic the anumana is important and for our faith the sabda element is important, I recognized that You respect the logic in the big way. I do the same but in the different proportion, therefore for me it was weird that Sanjayji words are not final. Therefore there is big benefit to Your discusion with sanskrit terms, philosophy of enemies vs flaws and all that, but if we dont accept authority of Guru then I dont see the difference between parampara and open forums in the western world where the hierarchy of pranama is completely different. Dont take me as blindsided, dogmatic - its simply the issue of proportion.I had no intention to put bad emotion or low standart of discussion so forgive me any bad usage of words. Regards, Rafal Gendarz SJC Guru www.rohinaa.com (+48) 503 44 18 18 Shailesh C Chadha napisaÅ‚(a):  || Om Gurave Namah | Om Namo Narayanaya ||  Namaste Rafal, Agreed to all your points - except: - It is wrong to say I cannot take agruements; I am open to all reasonable and logical agruments. - In case of a contradiction between BPHS and Prasna Marga(or any other classic), we HAVE to accept BPHS as the ultimate authority; else our entire Jyotish teachings will collapse. Regards, - Shailesh - Rafal Gendarz Wednesday, April 18, 2007 5:29 AM Re: [Om Krishna Guru] Re: Karaka for sixth house hare rama krsna Dear Shailesh, Its sad that You cant take this arguments as they sounds nice and reasonable. So the problem is somewhere else.. Sanjayji in the lecture about diseases takes the division on diseases from Prasna Marga and uses this in Natal. In the same place we do with Badhak and other things. In Pransa Marga are many things which are general in nature - like marriages (also in natal), ashtakavarga, remedies, division of madness etc. Regards, Rafal Gendarz SJC Guru www.rohinaa. com (+48) 503 44 18 18 Shailesh C Chadha napisaÅ‚(a):  || Om Gurave Namah | Om Namo Narayanaya ||  Namaste Visti, Let me start by saying that I am saddened with your response. I do not expect a SJC guru to brush-off some very relevant quotes from classics as mere statistics. If that was to be so, then why do we study them? Is it only for the purpose of selectively quoting from them when it suits our line of argument and dismiss the contrary as irrelevant or unreliable? I am sorry but that is not the way any healthy discussion can be carried out - it just shows "assumed" intellectual arrogance and it is the first step towards decline in learning. And, to me the bottomline is that BPHS is the supreme jyotish fointain-head; every thing else is a commentary or a learning-aid. Unless logically proved other-wise, no dictum or parampara or Guru can over-ride BPHS teachings. I do not have to remind you that " Sri Jagannath Center (SJC) was established in India with the objective of teaching jyotish in the tradition of maharishis like Parasara and Jaimini. " Incidentally, neither you, nor Rafal has offered any logical agrument to contradict what I have quoted. Prasna Marga is just that - applicable only on Prasna - so please do not use it for natal charts. Regards, - Shailesh - Visti Larsen Tuesday, April 17, 2007 8:25 PM Re: [Om Krishna Guru] Re: Karaka for sixth house हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, Namaskar Rafal has a point which also answers this question. All bhavas have a root signification and that is why there is one MAIN karaka for each bhava. I.e. we are suffering from the six weaknesses because we could not keep our purity in the past life times. I.e. because we were too prone to anger in this life our anger will be tested. Because we were too attached to money in the past we will be put in situations where taking money can carry serious problems. The root cause is our lack of purity or excess of sin/ripu. Thus MANY MANY classics refer to the sixth bhava by the name 'ripu' and from it we get diseases, accidents, fights, enemies and all the other significations explained by Parasara. These are however the negative indications and are all indicated by Saturn as it is he who carries our dustha karma from many lifetimes and gives it to us in the form of dukha or sorrow. Now you qoute many classics, but mere statistics won't help us. Especially the word 'sin' can have different meanings in sanskrit. Prasna Marga is to my knowledge the only one who has attempted to make this clear differentiation for us when describing the nature of diseases. He states: rogästu dvividhä jïeyä nijägantuvidbhedetaù Translation: Two types of diseases (roga) are to be known. Nija and ä gantu are the two. Harihara later explains that nija is seen from the eighth and fifth houses, whilst agantu is seen from the sixth and badhaka houses. Nija dosha specifically refers to ones OWN karma/dosha. It refers to the bad karma we have caused unto others/the world. Agantuka refers to the karma caused upon oneself... i.e. how you treated yourself For this reason it is taught in the tradition that the eighth lords RASI will show the place of the disease arising out of nija dosha, whereas the sixth lords BHAVA will show the diseases arising out of ones weaknesses/sin. .. I.e. the Rasis show the world/God whilst the bhavas are created by the individual. Deep rooted perspective indeed. I hope the above makes the paramparas perspective much clearer. Karaka literally means: 'kara' acting/doer; 'ka' does. I.e. the one who acts on behalf of another actor/doer. The closest English word is significator. By making the karaka of a house strong you will overcome the issues associated with that house. I.e. If the digestive fire is good (sun) then the health will be perfect (lagna). If you keep celibacy or purity (mars or some say mercury) then the weaknesses will go away (sixth house). But... this is very idealistic. Most people have the sins already and are acting on behalf of them, and really what they need to do is renounce them and be strong enough to carry them before projecting them on others. This act of carrying the sins is that of Saturn and by making Saturn auspicious the native will never see sorrow and easily cross this life. For this reason Saturn acts as a very strong contender for the karakatva of the sixth house, and this is how the tradition treats it. So recite Om Namo Bhagavate Akuparaaya| and be strong to carry your sins. I hope this clarifies everything.

BPHS mentions 8th house for RIPU and your focus is SHAD-RIPU - provided GC Sharmas version is accurate(as you said); Just as you have mentioned to Tarun - it has to be decided after thorough comparison. So, lets leave that aside for the moment. I will twist your question slightly: is the sixth house confined ONLY to our internal weaknesses (saturn) and the various problems associated with it? Is it right to disregard all other significations of 6 th house and consider only shad-ripus? Please also consider the following - BPHS: Ch. 17. Effects of 6th House 2. Ulcers/Bruises. Should 6ths Lord be in 6th itself, or in Lagna, or 8th, there will be ulcers, or bruises on the body. The RÄÅ›i, becoming 6th House, will lead to the knowledge of the concerned limb. Ch. 19. Effects of 8th House 2. Short Life. Should 8ths Lord join Lagnas Lord, or a malefic and be in 8th itself, the native will be short lived. Ch. 24. Effects of the House Lords 1.Effects of Lagnas Lord in Various Houses If Lagnas Lord is in 6th House and related to a malefic the native will be devoid of physical happiness and will be troubled by enemies, if there is no benefic Aspect. If Lagnas Lord is in 8th House, the native will be an accomplished scholar, be sickly, thievish, be given to much anger, be a gambler and will join others wives 61. Effects of 6ths Lord in Various Houses If 6ths Lord is in 1st House, the native will be sickly, famous, inimical to his own men, rich, honourable, adventurous and virtuous. 85. Effects of 8ths Lord in Various Houses If 8ths Lord is in 1st House, the native will be devoid of physical felicity and will suffer from wounds. He will be hostile to gods and Brahmins. Satya Jataka The sixth house signifies diseases, troubles from enemies, worries, injuries, litigation, sorrows, maternal uncle, injuries, armies, mental worries and legal involvements. The eighth house signifies longevity, misfortunes, sins, debts, enmity, death, difficulties, impediments, grief and unhappiness resulting from sins committed in previous births, sudden and untimely death and enemies Mars: He represents thick red colour, fire, bricks, power, thorny trees, wild animals, mosquitoes, bugs, sheep, bones, brothers, lands, houses, anger, war, instruments, thieves, marrow of the bone, bitter taste, energy, prowess, sin, wounds, battles, enemies, daring acts, cruelty and torture, roaming in forests, bronze, golden waist-string, pomp and show and a house on fire. Saturn: indicates evil nature, cunningness, impediments, wickedness, servants, mean acts, thieves, old dilapidated houses, bitter fruits, forests, fruits with thick skin, wild flowers, trees full of thorns, bamboos, palmyra trees, margosa trees and wild animals. Daivagyna Vallabha Ill health, bad state, enemies, servants, cruel deeds, heavy actions, witchcraft applied by enemies with an intention of killing enemies, doubts, wars, uncle, buffaloes, diseases, etc. are to be considered from the sixth house. Longevity and enmity, death, ruling powers, strife, quarrels, cleft, quarrels among relatives, hatred, places difficult to approach, fort, destruction of wife and enemies, crossing of rivers etc. are to be seen from the eighth house. In most of the above quotes, sins and similar weaknesses have been associated with 8 th house. Furthermore, Sixth house is part of Artha Trikona – would not a Rajasic planet be a better significator?  Regards,  - Shailesh On 17 Apr 2007 00:45:42 -0700, Visti Larsen <visti (AT) srigaruda (DOT) com> wrote: हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, Namaskar I checked BPHS and found the translation in line with what you have said.

Here are the possible options from Monier Williams:  mfn. deceitful , treacherous , false RV. m. a deceiver , cheat , rogue ib. an enemy , adversary , foe Mn. MBh. & c. As you can see this does not specifically indicate enemy, but rather anyone who can deceive you or USE your weaknesses. Further Sharma does comment that in the Bombay edition of BPHS this sloka doesn't mention enemies at all. Btw. most scripts accept the word 'ripu' as a well known indicator of the sixth house. Parasara has just further shown that this can also be seen in the eighth house which is fine. o Reg. Mars vs. Saturn for the sixth house karakatva o Satyacharya also mentions Saturn whilst Parasara mentions Mars. The question is do we accept that the sixth house shows our internal weaknesses (saturn) and because of these the various problems in life arise. Or do we accept that the sixth house shows our external enemies (Mars)?

Maternal uncle, doubts about death, enemies, ulcers, step-mother etc. are to be estimated from Ari Bhava.  Indications of Randhr Bhava. Randhr Bhava indicates longevity, battle, enemies, forts, wealth of the dead and things, that have happened and are to happen (in the past and future births).  Therefore, you are correct is associating Saturn with Shad-ripus, and weaknesses, but do not assign the 6th bhava karakatwa to Saturn.  BPHS assigns it to Mars and we have no reason, or any logical explanation to go against it.  Regards,  - Shailesh , Visti Larsen <visti wrote: > > ??? ??? ?????? > > Dear Tarun, Namaskar > I have just come home from Serbia and saw your mail. > > Some words from the Serbian Orthodox priests have been repeating > themselves in my mind.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 || Om Gurave Namah | Om Namo Narayanaya || Namaste Rafal, You have been hurt by my last mail and I apologise for that. It was not my intention to hurt any one - I was trying to express my own disappointment and frustration at the tone and direction of the debate. I may have misunderstood your words; there could have been some mis-communication from either side. Also, I may been a little harsh; if so, please do forgive me. We are here to clarify our doubts and to learn jyotish. Let us do that.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007 हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, Namaskar Now, thats not fair. Now you are implying that i 'think' guruji taught this. To prove it see slide 12 of the graha-devata handout from the SJC-Asia Conference 2006. This was taught by Sanjayji and there an image is given with the houses and karakas, where Saturn has been appointed as karaka for the sixth house. To add i'm attaching a PDF with that one slide (the entire thing can be bought from SJC-delhi). This should settle the confusion on Sanjayjis words. Yours sincerely, -- Visti Larsen - SJC Guru Jaimini SJC - Denmark email: visti For consultations, free mp3's and articles visit: http://srigaruda.com Shailesh C Chadha wrote:  || Om Gurave Namah | Om Namo Narayanaya || Namaste Visti, Neither I, nor anyone else has disputed that there and multiple karakas for the 6th house, including Mars and Saturn. The question was about the primary karaka. In the material available with me, Sanjay ji has not mentioned either Mars or Saturn. Hence, I would resort to Sastras, and, to me, words like ARI BHAVA, SHATRU PADA, ARA, etc, used extensively in sastras in this connection, indicate the primacy accorded to enmity and mars. Swee, Sarbani, Rama Narayanan ji concur with this view. You say you want to go with what you believe Sanjay ji has told you. So let it be.

Mars is still the karaka for enemies in the sixth house whilst Saturn is still the karaka for sin and diseases in the sixth house. Mercury is the karaka for uncle and other relatives in the sixth house, and this way we can go on and find many planets having some signification for the sixth house. So Mars is still one of the karakas and this is what COVA says. o Now that we are on the same page here we can discuss further. Narasimha cited BPHS which he should and is in conformity with the purpose of his book. We should rely on shastras and this is what Narasimha has done, with the addition of some of the Paramparas teachings to supplement the use of the shastras principles. o I give credence to what Sanjayji tells me. How else will I learn this vast ocean of knowledge. But, i have not said that you or Parasara or anyone else was wrong. Why fight about it when all i did was clarify WHY Sanjayji had told me to treat Saturn as the main-karaka for the sixth house? I even gave examples of the use in this regard, which mainly was focussed on remedies. You can take it or leave it, but please don't leave a bitter taste in our mouthes when doing so. Its just some extra knowledge which helps the astrologer use the principles of astrology. I hope you did learn something from what i wrote. Otherwise i would feel quite sad that i had spent all that time writing those long mails and it had benefited no-one. You asked and i gave the answer i was given in the past, so just treat it as an extra piece of knowledge which doesn't have to conflict with what you believe is right. o As for the undertones, the reason I ask is I'm genuinely curious as to the various methods people use when treating karakas.

When i travelled with him throughout 2002-2005 he has always maintained this in the discussions reg. karaka. It had become such an ingrain part of jyotish for me that i taught the same to others as well. It was almost as a given. SHAILESH>> WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT COVA? DOES IT REPRESENT SANJAY JI'S TEACHINGS?? AND WHAT DOES IT SAY IN THIS CONNECTION? SARBANI HAD ALSO QUOTED FROM SOME OF SANJAY JI'S PAPERS; DO YOU GIVE ANY CREDENCE TO THEM. OF COURSE, IS NARSIMHA RAO'S BOOK CONSIDERED TO BE IN CONFORMITY WITH THE PARAMPARA?? Rafal trust the tradition, which is good but we must all ask: Why is the tradition right? and thereby question and make our foundation stronger. SHAILESH>> WHAT ABOUT SASTRAS? DO THEY COUNT FOR ANYTHING?  AND WHAT IS THE BASE FOR THE TRADITIONS? IS IT NOT THOSE VERY SASTRAS??  I guess for Rafal this discussion is just to trivial. SHAILESH>> HE IS FREE TO DECIDE THAT. Btw. how do you seek to use this knowledge of the main-karaka? SHAILESH>> WHAT DOES ONE DO WITH ANY KNOWLEDGE?? AND, IS IT MY IMAGINATION THAT I DETECT AN UNDERTONE IN THIS QUESTION?? Yours sincerely, -- Visti Larsen - SJC Guru Jaimini SJC - Denmark email: visti (AT) srigaruda (DOT) com For consultations, free mp3's and articles visit: http://srigaruda.com Shailesh C Chadha wrote:  || Om Gurave Namah | Om Namo Narayanaya || Namaste Rafal, I think no useful purpose is going to be served by going through the classics. You have very clearly expressed your total disregard for the sastras when you replied to Upenrda saying: << I repeat once again, there is (1) sastra and (2) parampara. Being in SJC means that You accept the teachings of the tradition. If thats the teaching of the tradition it must be accepted and THEN you must change Your perspective and with this new vision look at sastra's or seek the explanation and discuss these points. If You do the opposite then its not the parampara anymore as then the hierarchy id disturbed. If Sanjayji says its Sani, then what I can do with my understanding of sanksrit, classics and all that - that demands a real study which can take Your ten years, I put weightage to my time and the Guru gives shortcuts in our way to Jyotish which normally takes few lifetimes. Of course there are some people which question Sanjayji words and follow own opinion, thats their way of understanding.>> And let me make it clear - you have no respect for Sanjay ji's words either. Sarbani, and others, have given extensive quotes in the past from COVA and various papers of Sanjay ji where he has clearly mentioned as Mars to be the Karaka for 6th house. But, unfortunately, you are fixated on what you and Visti say was mentioned by Sanjay ji in Serbia. At that point of time, you and Visti diverted the discussion to Shad-ripus. Then, when I produced qoutes and arguments to show that shad-ripus are in the domain of 8th house, you say that you are not interested in shad-ripus. What exactly do you want to prove? Are you aware that Parampara and Guru are to take one to the path of truth, not to negate the truth. Where sastras are silent, Parampara and Guru are paramount. But where Sastras are clear and specific, no Parampara or Guru can, or should, go against it. In such a case, if it cannot be proved that the sastras are corrupted, one may have to conlude that the teachings of such a Guru or Parampara are flawed. Can any one in these lists doubt the sincerety of Narsimha Rao to SJC. Yet, can you recall how many times he has questioned Sanjay ji and persisted till he received the correct explanation? Not that I equate my self to Narsimha but I do intend to be a true seeker of knowledge and truth. In Indian traditions, that is what we are taught. Now, it is up to you to decide whether you are a seeker of truth or a blind-follower.

Ultimately, we are here to learn and thats what our focus should be. Please also understand that I have the utmost respect for my Guru and I am sure no true Guru will purposely teach what is wrong. And, the highest of the Gurus have always encouraged their shishyas to go out and seek the truth, they too accept that they are human and are always ready to acknowledge their errors. If Sanjay ji has changed his view-point from what he has mentioned in COVA and elsewhere, he should have a good reason for the same and he has to reveal the same. Till such time, I suggest we go with the classics. And there are very strong reasons to do so, as I have mentioned in my mails to Visti and Upendra has, in his latest mail. Regards, - Shailesh ----- Original Message ----- Rafal Gendarz To: Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 1:15 PM Subject: Re: [Om Krishna Guru] Re: Karaka for sixth house hare rama krsna Dear Shailesh, Yes, its all depends on Pranamas we accept. For our logic the anumana is important and for our faith the sabda element is important, I recognized that You respect the logic in the big way. I do the same but in the different proportion, therefore for me it was weird that Sanjayji words are not final. Therefore there is big benefit to Your discusion with sanskrit terms, philosophy of enemies vs flaws and all that, but if we dont accept authority of Guru then I dont see the difference between parampara and open forums in the western world where the hierarchy of pranama is completely different. Dont take me as blindsided, dogmatic - its simply the issue of proportion.I had no intention to put bad emotion or low standart of discussion so forgive me any bad usage of words.

So the problem is somewhere else.. Sanjayji in the lecture about diseases takes the division on diseases from Prasna Marga and uses this in Natal. In the same place we do with Badhak and other things. In Pransa Marga are many things which are general in nature - like marriages (also in natal), ashtakavarga, remedies, division of madness etc. Regards, Rafal Gendarz SJC Guru www.rohinaa. com (+48) 503 44 18 18 Shailesh C Chadha napisaÅ‚(a):  || Om Gurave Namah | Om Namo Narayanaya ||  Namaste Visti, Let me start by saying that I am saddened with your response. I do not expect a SJC guru to brush-off some very relevant quotes from classics as mere statistics. If that was to be so, then why do we study them? Is it only for the purpose of selectively quoting from them when it suits our line of argument and dismiss the contrary as irrelevant or unreliable? I am sorry but that is not the way any healthy discussion can be carried out - it just shows "assumed" intellectual arrogance and it is the first step towards decline in learning. And, to me the bottomline is that BPHS is the supreme jyotish fointain-head; every thing else is a commentary or a learning-aid. Unless logically proved other-wise, no dictum or parampara or Guru can over-ride BPHS teachings. I do not have to remind you that " Sri Jagannath Center (SJC) was established in India with the objective of teaching jyotish in the tradition of maharishis like Parasara and Jaimini. " Incidentally, neither you, nor Rafal has offered any logical agrument to contradict what I have quoted. Prasna Marga is just that - applicable only on Prasna - so please do not use it for natal charts. Regards, - Shailesh - Visti Larsen @ . com Tuesday, April 17, 2007 8:25 PM Re: [Om Krishna Guru] Re: Karaka for sixth house हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, Namaskar Rafal has a point which also answers this question. All bhavas have a root signification and that is why there is one MAIN karaka for each bhava. I.e. we are suffering from the six weaknesses because we could not keep our purity in the past life times. I.e. because we were too prone to anger in this life our anger will be tested. Because we were too attached to money in the past we will be put in situations where taking money can carry serious problems. The root cause is our lack of purity or excess of sin/ripu. Thus MANY MANY classics refer to the sixth bhava by the name 'ripu' and from it we get diseases, accidents, fights, enemies and all the other significations explained by Parasara. These are however the negative indications and are all indicated by Saturn as it is he who carries our dustha karma from many lifetimes and gives it to us in the form of dukha or sorrow. Now you qoute many classics, but mere statistics won't help us. Especially the word 'sin' can have different meanings in sanskrit. Prasna Marga is to my knowledge the only one who has attempted to make this clear differentiation for us when describing the nature of diseases. He states: rogästu dvividhä jïeyä nijägantuvidbhedetaù Translation: Two types of diseases (roga) are to be known. Nija and ä gantu are the two. Harihara later explains that nija is seen from the eighth and fifth houses, whilst agantu is seen from the sixth and badhaka houses. Nija dosha specifically refers to ones OWN karma/dosha. It refers to the bad karma we have caused unto others/the world. Agantuka refers to the karma caused upon oneself... i.e. how you treated yourself For this reason it is taught in the tradition that the eighth lords RASI will show the place of the disease arising out of nija dosha, whereas the sixth lords BHAVA will show the diseases arising out of ones weaknesses/sin. .. I.e. the Rasis show the world/God whilst the bhavas are created by the individual. Deep rooted perspective indeed. I hope the above makes the paramparas perspective much clearer. Karaka literally means: 'kara' acting/doer; 'ka' does. I.e. the one who acts on behalf of another actor/doer. The closest English word is significator. By making the karaka of a house strong you will overcome the issues associated with that house. I.e. If the digestive fire is good (sun) then the health will be perfect (lagna). If you keep celibacy or purity (mars or some say mercury) then the weaknesses will go away (sixth house). But... this is very idealistic. Most people have the sins already and are acting on behalf of them, and really what they need to do is renounce them and be strong enough to carry them before projecting them on others. This act of carrying the sins is that of Saturn and by making Saturn auspicious the native will never see sorrow and easily cross this life. For this reason Saturn acts as a very strong contender for the karakatva of the sixth house, and this is how the tradition treats it. So recite Om Namo Bhagavate Akuparaaya| and be strong to carry your sins. I hope this clarifies everything.

So, lets leave that aside for the moment. I will twist your question slightly: is the sixth house confined ONLY to our internal weaknesses (saturn) and the various problems associated with it? Is it right to disregard all other significations of 6 th house and consider only shad-ripus? Please also consider the following - BPHS: Ch. 17. Effects of 6th House 2. Ulcers/Bruises. Should 6ths Lord be in 6th itself, or in Lagna, or 8th, there will be ulcers, or bruises on the body. The RÄÅ›i, becoming 6th House, will lead to the knowledge of the concerned limb. Ch. 19. Effects of 8th House 2. Short Life. Should 8ths Lord join Lagnas Lord, or a malefic and be in 8th itself, the native will be short lived. Ch. 24. Effects of the House Lords 1.Effects of Lagnas Lord in Various Houses If Lagnas Lord is in 6th House and related to a malefic the native will be devoid of physical happiness and will be troubled by enemies, if there is no benefic Aspect. If Lagnas Lord is in 8th House, the native will be an accomplished scholar, be sickly, thievish, be given to much anger, be a gambler and will join others wives 61. Effects of 6ths Lord in Various Houses If 6ths Lord is in 1st House, the native will be sickly, famous, inimical to his own men, rich, honourable, adventurous and virtuous. 85. Effects of 8ths Lord in Various Houses If 8ths Lord is in 1st House, the native will be devoid of physical felicity and will suffer from wounds. He will be hostile to gods and Brahmins. Satya Jataka The sixth house signifies diseases, troubles from enemies, worries, injuries, litigation, sorrows, maternal uncle, injuries, armies, mental worries and legal involvements. The eighth house signifies longevity, misfortunes, sins, debts, enmity, death, difficulties, impediments, grief and unhappiness resulting from sins committed in previous births, sudden and untimely death and enemies Mars: He represents thick red colour, fire, bricks, power, thorny trees, wild animals, mosquitoes, bugs, sheep, bones, brothers, lands, houses, anger, war, instruments, thieves, marrow of the bone, bitter taste, energy, prowess, sin, wounds, battles, enemies, daring acts, cruelty and torture, roaming in forests, bronze, golden waist-string, pomp and show and a house on fire. Saturn: indicates evil nature, cunningness, impediments, wickedness, servants, mean acts, thieves, old dilapidated houses, bitter fruits, forests, fruits with thick skin, wild flowers, trees full of thorns, bamboos, palmyra trees, margosa trees and wild animals. Daivagyna Vallabha Ill health, bad state, enemies, servants, cruel deeds, heavy actions, witchcraft applied by enemies with an intention of killing enemies, doubts, wars, uncle, buffaloes, diseases, etc. are to be considered from the sixth house. Longevity and enmity, death, ruling powers, strife, quarrels, cleft, quarrels among relatives, hatred, places difficult to approach, fort, destruction of wife and enemies, crossing of rivers etc. are to be seen from the eighth house. In most of the above quotes, sins and similar weaknesses have been associated with 8 th house. Furthermore, Sixth house is part of Artha Trikona – would not a Rajasic planet be a better significator?  Regards,  - Shailesh On 17 Apr 2007 00:45:42 -0700, Visti Larsen <visti (AT) srigaruda (DOT) com> wrote: हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, Namaskar I checked BPHS and found the translation in line with what you have said.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2007 Report Share Posted April 21, 2007  || Om Gurave Namah | Om Namo Narayanaya || Namaste Visti, The implications that you find are unintentional - please accept my regrets. To me too, it was a healthy debate but it looks like we are repeating ourselves and this way the question is not likely to be resolved soon; so lets close the discussion. Let Sanjay ji explain what he has said in COVA and in the paper that you have quoted, and why! Of all the mails, to me Rama Narayanans mail seemed to be most comprehensive and logical; I will go with it. Regards, - Shailesh - Visti Larsen Saturday, April 21, 2007 1:34 PM Re: [Om Krishna Guru] Re: Karaka for sixth house हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, NamaskarNow, thats not fair. Now you are implying that i 'think' guruji taught this.To prove it see slide 12 of the graha-devata handout from the SJC-Asia Conference 2006. This was taught by Sanjayji and there an image is given with the houses and karakas, where Saturn has been appointed as karaka for the sixth house.To add i'm attaching a PDF with that one slide (the entire thing can be bought from SJC-delhi). This should settle the confusion on Sanjayjis words.

The question was about the primary karaka. In the material available with me, Sanjay ji has not mentioned either Mars or Saturn. Hence, I would resort to Sastras, and, to me, words like ARI BHAVA, SHATRU PADA, ARA, etc, used extensively in sastras in this connection, indicate the primacy accorded to enmity and mars. Swee, Sarbani, Rama Narayanan ji concur with this view. You say you want to go with what you believe Sanjay ji has told you. So let it be. Regards, - Shailesh - Visti Larsen Saturday, April 21, 2007 12:14 AM Re: [Om Krishna Guru] Re: Karaka for sixth house हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, NamaskarI feel that your words are a bit aggressive, yet for sake of clarification i will answer your points. o Let me clarify that this discussion is about MAIN karakas for houses. Mars is still the karaka for enemies in the sixth house whilst Saturn is still the karaka for sin and diseases in the sixth house. Mercury is the karaka for uncle and other relatives in the sixth house, and this way we can go on and find many planets having some signification for the sixth house.So Mars is still one of the karakas and this is what COVA says. o Now that we are on the same page here we can discuss further. Narasimha cited BPHS which he should and is in conformity with the purpose of his book. We should rely on shastras and this is what Narasimha has done, with the addition of some of the Paramparas teachings to supplement the use of the shastras principles. o I give credence to what Sanjayji tells me. How else will I learn this vast ocean of knowledge. But, i have not said that you or Parasara or anyone else was wrong. Why fight about it when all i did was clarify WHY Sanjayji had told me to treat Saturn as the main-karaka for the sixth house? I even gave examples of the use in this regard, which mainly was focussed on remedies. You can take it or leave it, but please don't leave a bitter taste in our mouthes when doing so. Its just some extra knowledge which helps the astrologer use the principles of astrology. I hope you did learn something from what i wrote. Otherwise i would feel quite sad that i had spent all that time writing those long mails and it had benefited no-one. You asked and i gave the answer i was given in the past, so just treat it as an extra piece of knowledge which doesn't have to conflict with what you believe is right. o As for the undertones, the reason I ask is I'm genuinely curious as to the various methods people use when treating karakas.

When i travelled with him throughout 2002-2005 he has always maintained this in the discussions reg. karaka. It had become such an ingrain part of jyotish for me that i taught the same to others as well. It was almost as a given. SHAILESH>> WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ABOUT COVA? DOES IT REPRESENT SANJAY JI'S TEACHINGS?? AND WHAT DOES IT SAY IN THIS CONNECTION? SARBANI HAD ALSO QUOTED FROM SOME OF SANJAY JI'S PAPERS; DO YOU GIVE ANY CREDENCE TO THEM. OF COURSE, IS NARSIMHA RAO'S BOOK CONSIDERED TO BE IN CONFORMITY WITH THE PARAMPARA?? Rafal trust the tradition, which is good but we must all ask: Why is the tradition right? and thereby question and make our foundation stronger. SHAILESH>> WHAT ABOUT SASTRAS? DO THEY COUNT FOR ANYTHING? AND WHAT IS THE BASE FOR THE TRADITIONS? IS IT NOT THOSE VERY SASTRAS?? I guess for Rafal this discussion is just to trivial. SHAILESH>> HE IS FREE TO DECIDE THAT. Btw. how do you seek to use this knowledge of the main-karaka? SHAILESH>> WHAT DOES ONE DO WITH ANY KNOWLEDGE?? AND, IS IT MY IMAGINATION THAT I DETECT AN UNDERTONE IN THIS QUESTION??

You have very clearly expressed your total disregard for the sastras when you replied to Upenrda saying: << I repeat once again, there is (1) sastra and (2) parampara. Being in SJC means that You accept the teachings of the tradition. If thats the teaching of the tradition it must be accepted and THEN you must change Your perspective and with this new vision look at sastra's or seek the explanation and discuss these points. If You do the opposite then its not the parampara anymore as then the hierarchy id disturbed. If Sanjayji says its Sani, then what I can do with my understanding of sanksrit, classics and all that - that demands a real study which can take Your ten years, I put weightage to my time and the Guru gives shortcuts in our way to Jyotish which normally takes few lifetimes. Of course there are some people which question Sanjayji words and follow own opinion, thats their way of understanding.>> And let me make it clear - you have no respect for Sanjay ji's words either. Sarbani, and others, have given extensive quotes in the past from COVA and various papers of Sanjay ji where he has clearly mentioned as Mars to be the Karaka for 6th house. But, unfortunately, you are fixated on what you and Visti say was mentioned by Sanjay ji in Serbia. At that point of time, you and Visti diverted the discussion to Shad-ripus. Then, when I produced qoutes and arguments to show that shad-ripus are in the domain of 8th house, you say that you are not interested in shad-ripus. What exactly do you want to prove? Are you aware that Parampara and Guru are to take one to the path of truth, not to negate the truth. Where sastras are silent, Parampara and Guru are paramount. But where Sastras are clear and specific, no Parampara or Guru can, or should, go against it. In such a case, if it cannot be proved that the sastras are corrupted, one may have to conlude that the teachings of such a Guru or Parampara are flawed. Can any one in these lists doubt the sincerety of Narsimha Rao to SJC. Yet, can you recall how many times he has questioned Sanjay ji and persisted till he received the correct explanation? Not that I equate my self to Narsimha but I do intend to be a true seeker of knowledge and truth. In Indian traditions, that is what we are taught. Now, it is up to you to decide whether you are a seeker of truth or a blind-follower.

Ultimately, we are here to learn and thats what our focus should be. Please also understand that I have the utmost respect for my Guru and I am sure no true Guru will purposely teach what is wrong. And, the highest of the Gurus have always encouraged their shishyas to go out and seek the truth, they too accept that they are human and are always ready to acknowledge their errors. If Sanjay ji has changed his view-point from what he has mentioned in COVA and elsewhere, he should have a good reason for the same and he has to reveal the same. Till such time, I suggest we go with the classics. And there are very strong reasons to do so, as I have mentioned in my mails to Visti and Upendra has, in his latest mail. Regards, - Shailesh - Rafal Gendarz Wednesday, April 18, 2007 1:15 PM Re: [Om Krishna Guru] Re: Karaka for sixth house hare rama krsnaDear Shailesh,Yes, its all depends on Pranamas we accept. For our logic the anumana is important and for our faith the sabda element is important, I recognized that You respect the logic in the big way. I do the same but in the different proportion, therefore for me it was weird that Sanjayji words are not final. Therefore there is big benefit to Your discusion with sanskrit terms, philosophy of enemies vs flaws and all that, but if we dont accept authority of Guru then I dont see the difference between parampara and open forums in the western world where the hierarchy of pranama is completely different. Dont take me as blindsided, dogmatic - its simply the issue of proportion.I had no intention to put bad emotion or low standart of discussion so forgive me any bad usage of words.Regards,Rafal GendarzSJC Guruwww.rohinaa.com(+48) 503 44 18 18 Shailesh C Chadha napisaÅ‚(a):  || Om Gurave Namah | Om Namo Narayanaya || Namaste Rafal, Agreed to all your points - except: - It is wrong to say I cannot take agruements; I am open to all reasonable and logical agruments. - In case of a contradiction between BPHS and Prasna Marga(or any other classic), we HAVE to accept BPHS as the ultimate authority; else our entire Jyotish teachings will collapse.

So the problem is somewhere else..Sanjayji in the lecture about diseases takes the division on diseases from Prasna Marga and uses this in Natal. In the same place we do with Badhak and other things. In Pransa Marga are many things which are general in nature - like marriages (also in natal), ashtakavarga, remedies, division of madness etc.Regards,Rafal GendarzSJC Guruwww.rohinaa. com(+48) 503 44 18 18 Shailesh C Chadha napisaÅ‚(a):  || Om Gurave Namah | Om Namo Narayanaya || Namaste Visti, Let me start by saying that I am saddened with your response. I do not expect a SJC guru to brush-off some very relevant quotes from classics as mere statistics. If that was to be so, then why do we study them? Is it only for the purpose of selectively quoting from them when it suits our line of argument and dismiss the contrary as irrelevant or unreliable? I am sorry but that is not the way any healthy discussion can be carried out - it just shows "assumed" intellectual arrogance and it is the first step towards decline in learning. And, to me the bottomline is that BPHS is the supreme jyotish fointain-head; every thing else is a commentary or a learning-aid. Unless logically proved other-wise, no dictum or parampara or Guru can over-ride BPHS teachings. I do not have to remind you that " Sri Jagannath Center (SJC) was established in India with the objective of teaching jyotish in the tradition of maharishis like Parasara and Jaimini. " Incidentally, neither you, nor Rafal has offered any logical agrument to contradict what I have quoted. Prasna Marga is just that - applicable only on Prasna - so please do not use it for natal charts. Regards, - Shailesh - Visti Larsen Tuesday, April 17, 2007 8:25 PM Re: [Om Krishna Guru] Re: Karaka for sixth house हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Shailesh, NamaskarRafal has a point which also answers this question. All bhavas have a root signification and that is why there is one MAIN karaka for each bhava. I.e. we are suffering from the six weaknesses because we could not keep our purity in the past life times. I.e. because we were too prone to anger in this life our anger will be tested. Because we were too attached to money in the past we will be put in situations where taking money can carry serious problems. The root cause is our lack of purity or excess of sin/ripu. Thus MANY MANY classics refer to the sixth bhava by the name 'ripu' and from it we get diseases, accidents, fights, enemies and all the other significations explained by Parasara. These are however the negative indications and are all indicated by Saturn as it is he who carries our dustha karma from many lifetimes and gives it to us in the form of dukha or sorrow. Now you qoute many classics, but mere statistics won't help us. Especially the word 'sin' can have different meanings in sanskrit. Prasna Marga is to my knowledge the only one who has attempted to make this clear differentiation for us when describing the nature of diseases. He states: rogästu dvividhä jïeyä nijägantuvidbhedetaù Translation: Two types of diseases (roga) are to be known. Nija and ä gantu are the two.Harihara later explains that nija is seen from the eighth and fifth houses, whilst agantu is seen from the sixth and badhaka houses. Nija dosha specifically refers to ones OWN karma/dosha. It refers to the bad karma we have caused unto others/the world.Agantuka refers to the karma caused upon oneself... i.e. how you treated yourself For this reason it is taught in the tradition that the eighth lords RASI will show the place of the disease arising out of nija dosha, whereas the sixth lords BHAVA will show the diseases arising out of ones weaknesses/sin. .. I.e. the Rasis show the world/God whilst the bhavas are created by the individual. Deep rooted perspective indeed. I hope the above makes the paramparas perspective much clearer.Karaka literally means: 'kara' acting/doer; 'ka' does. I.e. the one who acts on behalf of another actor/doer. The closest English word is significator. By making the karaka of a house strong you will overcome the issues associated with that house. I.e. If the digestive fire is good (sun) then the health will be perfect (lagna). If you keep celibacy or purity (mars or some say mercury) then the weaknesses will go away (sixth house). But... this is very idealistic. Most people have the sins already and are acting on behalf of them, and really what they need to do is renounce them and be strong enough to carry them before projecting them on others. This act of carrying the sins is that of Saturn and by making Saturn auspicious the native will never see sorrow and easily cross this life. For this reason Saturn acts as a very strong contender for the karakatva of the sixth house, and this is how the tradition treats it. So recite Om Namo Bhagavate Akuparaaya| and be strong to carry your sins.I hope this clarifies everything.

Satya Jataka The sixth house signifies diseases, troubles from enemies, worries, injuries, litigation, sorrows, maternal uncle, injuries, armies, mental worries and legal involvements. The eighth house signifies longevity, misfortunes, sins, debts, enmity, death, difficulties, impediments, grief and unhappiness resulting from sins committed in previous births, sudden and untimely death and enemies Mars: He represents thick red colour, fire, bricks, power, thorny trees, wild animals, mosquitoes, bugs, sheep, bones, brothers, lands, houses, anger, war, instruments, thieves, marrow of the bone, bitter taste, energy, prowess, sin, wounds, battles, enemies, daring acts, cruelty and torture, roaming in forests, bronze, golden waist-string, pomp and show and a house on fire. Saturn: indicates evil nature, cunningness, impediments, wickedness, servants, mean acts, thieves, old dilapidated houses, bitter fruits, forests, fruits with thick skin, wild flowers, trees full of thorns, bamboos, palmyra trees, margosa trees and wild animals. Daivagyna Vallabha Ill health, bad state, enemies, servants, cruel deeds, heavy actions, witchcraft applied by enemies with an intention of killing enemies, doubts, wars, uncle, buffaloes, diseases, etc. are to be considered from the sixth house. Longevity and enmity, death, ruling powers, strife, quarrels, cleft, quarrels among relatives, hatred, places difficult to approach, fort, destruction of wife and enemies, crossing of rivers etc. are to be seen from the eighth house. In most of the above quotes, sins and similar weaknesses have been associated with 8 th house. Furthermore, Sixth house is part of Artha Trikona – would not a Rajasic planet be a better significator?

Here are the possible options from Monier Williams: mfn. deceitful , treacherous , false RV. m. a deceiver , cheat , rogue ib. an enemy , adversary , foe Mn. MBh. & c. As you can see this does not specifically indicate enemy, but rather anyone who can deceive you or USE your weaknesses. Further Sharma does comment that in the Bombay edition of BPHS this sloka doesn't mention enemies at all. Btw. most scripts accept the word 'ripu' as a well known indicator of the sixth house. Parasara has just further shown that this can also be seen in the eighth house which is fine. o Reg. Mars vs. Saturn for the sixth house karakatva oSatyacharya also mentions Saturn whilst Parasara mentions Mars. The question is do we accept that the sixth house shows our internal weaknesses (saturn) and because of these the various problems in life arise. Or do we accept that the sixth house shows our external enemies (Mars)?

Shad-ripus are six enemies - the enemies within. - or weaknesses Weakness, and even enmity, is indicated by 8th bhava, not 6th. As per BPHS: Indications of Ari Bhava. Maternal uncle, doubts about death, enemies, ulcers, step-mother etc. are to be estimated from Ari Bhava. Indications of Randhr Bhava. Randhr Bhava indicates longevity, battle, enemies, forts, wealth of the dead and things, that have happened and are to happen (in the past and future births). Therefore, you are correct is associating Saturn with Shad-ripus, and weaknesses, but do not assign the 6th bhava karakatwa to Saturn. BPHS assigns it to Mars and we have no reason, or any logical explanation to go against it.
