[Jagannath] ISKCON'S CHART

[Guest guest]

Dear Jyotisha,

 

With first offering respects to both my Diksa and Siksa Gurus, Lord Sri

Caitanya Mahaprabhu and Their Lordships Sri Sri Radha-Krishna, as well as

all of you let me humnbly try and say something on ISKCON chart.

 

In general, the chart is wonderful and strong. The Ascendant Lord Jupiter

aspecting Lagna from the 7th by both Rasi and Graha drishti and is in own

Naksatra. All the planets have strong Sadbala. Both Sun and Moon are quite

strong which makes Raja-yogas possible but the Moon is somewhat afflicted by

Rahu (they are still quite far away from each other) whcih makes the results

of Raja-yoga not so durable and somewhat dissipate over time.

 

 

Saggitarius rising with Jupiter aspecting it makes ISKCON a bona-fide

preaching movement - fighting for spreading dharma. Aspects by Mars

(Jnanakaraka and Yoga-karaka) and Sun (also 9th Lord) only sterngthen this.

Atmakaraka Sun is again in conjunction with Jupiter and aspects Lagna which

signifies that The Supreme Lord Himself is guiding this movement and also

teaching it's members by taking them through different lessons for

purification. Lagna is also aspected by retrograde Saturn from Pisces (Rasi

and graha dristi) which shows it's roots from a Vaisnava tradition and also

makes it quite rigid and conservative. It also has an argala from Ketu which

gives internal problems but also confirms it's spiritual nature.

Arudha Lagna is in Virgo and is aspected by Saturn (Rasi and Graha) and the

same Ju-Su-Ma (Rasi) combination as well. So it's image qute corresponds to

reality. Plus we should add the well known " utility is the principle "

(Virgo), and it's imidge being often spoiled by fanatic neofite devotees

often coming from the families with a lack of culture enen in the mundane

sense (Saturn - Graha-dristi). It also has argalas from Ketu and Mercury

which confirm the above.

Lagnamsa (Leo) and Karakamsa (Taurus) are in angles. Venus and Saturn are in

Lagnamsa - Tapaswi-yoga. Jupiter is in the 9th from Lagnamsa aspecting it.

This all gives religious institution, more specifically, bhakti-yoga and

also strong link with tradition. Mercury, Mars, and Rahu in the 5th

(Saggitarius) from Lagnamsa give high intellectual and managerial knowlege

and research capabilities which sometimes makes it's members rely more on

them rather then the Lord's mercy. These combinations also indicate

extensice literary contribution.

 

2nd Saturn lord is strong. 2nd house is aspected by Venus (Rasi-dristi)

which shows general prosperity. Argala of Saturn (3d) and Rahu-Moon (4th)

add in here indicating cases of doubtful doubtful means (low-class book

distribution techniques, drug plantations in New-Vrindavan etc.). Venus also

causes subhargala from the 5th indicating wealth comig from sincerety and

true knowege. 2nd house has also Graha-dristi of Mercury from the 8th

(Cancer) indicating big donations and buisness schemes. Cancer with Mercury

also conjoins with Sree Lagna and is also aspected by strong Venus. Hora

Lagna is afflicted by Ketu and Rahu (Rasi-dristi) which does not allow

ISKCON overtake Fords and others.

 

3rd house has both aspect and argala from Rahu-Moon. The latter form

Sakti-yoga and gives generally bad relationships with other religious

organizations - aspect of Mercury helps here through communications and use

of intelligence.

 

4th house and it's lord indicate good properties. But presence of Saturn in

it show periodical loss of them. D-4 confirms it with Sun and Saturn in

Ascendant Pisces and 4th , 4th house with dhana-karaka Mars in it, aspected

by 1st Lord from Saggitarius. 4th Lord Mercury is in 11th but afflicted by

Rahu. With vehicles it is so-so as in D-16 the 4th house has a Rasi dristi

from the Moon but at the same time Venus is debilitated. So the vehicles are

there and plenty but they are not generally being taken care of properly

wich is the fact.

 

Regarding education, Rasi gives generally good things and D-24 is simply

brilliant. Ascendant Lord Mercury is exalted in the 4th and aspected (Rasi)

by Jupiter and Saturn from Saggitarius. All kinds of knowledge - both

spiritual, practical and tradtional. Venus and Moon are in the 9th in

Aquarius which gives higher spiritual education, and 9th lord is in

conjunction with Jupiter. The nodes are in the 2nd indicate problems in

communicating this knowledge outside ISKCON.

 

Now we get Sakti-yoga in the 5th. It indicates mistreatment of children in

ISKCON. In Saptamsa Ascendant Lord Jupiter is with Rahu and Saturn in the

8th. But it is a little alleviated by the condition of the 5th house and 5th

lord. Sakti-yoga's aspect on 3d brings problems with other relitious

institutions which we discussed. It's aspect on the 9th brings occasional

irreligious deeds. It's aspect on 12th causes it's sannyasis fall down.

Fortunately, both the 12th and 9th have benefic aspects from Mercury and

Ketu respectively. On the other hand, Sakti-yoga aspects both 3rd and 6th

from Aruddha-lagna which gives an excellent ability to fight the so-called

external enimies.

 

Venus, the 6th lord is in it's own house. This must show the nature of the

Movment as a great servant of all. Aspect of Ketu from Virgo helps this.

 

Mars, Sun and Jupiter from a great Raja-yoga in the 7th which makes it a

movement of a great social importance. I cannot but admire this combination

and but a set of exclaimation signs !!!!!! as a general description. At the

same time the 7th lord is in 8th which indicates ups and downs. Ascept of

Saturn from 4th also has it's negative effect.

 

The 8th Lord Moon is afflicted by Rahu which adds to the turmoils in both

career and PR.

 

9th house is mixed being aspected by Rahu-Moon and Ketu. 9th Lord Sun is in

excellent position. In general it makes ISKCON a highly spiritual movement

which is sometimes blemished by the mark of materialistic Western culture.

The position of the Sun also indicates the unique figure of ISKCON's

father - Srila Prabhupada. The same is confirmed by D-12 where the 9th lord

Saturn is in the Ascendant. Sun in the 12th in D-12 as well as aspect of

Rahu-Ketu on th 9th in Rasi indicates early loss ot the father as well as

his being a liberated soul.

Jupiter is in the 12th from AK - indicates it's Founder-Acarya Srila

Prabhupada as the Guru-deliverer for all generations. In Visvamsa the Moon

is in the 5th aspected by Mercury which indicates Lord Sri Krishna.

 

10th house has the same good aspect of Rajayoga and bad aspect of Saturn.

It's lord Mercury is in the 8th which gives ups and downs in career. In

Dasamsa 10th lord Saturn is in the 10th but it also has debilitated Jupiter

in it along with Rahu which confirms the same.

 

Ketu in the 11th indicates friends among friends among spiritually-minded

people. The 12th we already siscussed, adding that 12th lord Mars is strong

and also there is Jupiter in 12th from Karakamsa which gives it's members

all opportunitis of getting done with this material worlds provided they

avoid trap of Western materialistic tendencies represented by Rahu-Moon.

 

From D-27 we get strong 1st , 2nd , 3rd , 6th and 9th houses houses

indicating general condition, communications, vailour, defeat of the

enimies, and dharma respectively. The week points are the same - Moon in the

8th which gives a lot of turmoil as well as problems with properties, 5th

lord Sun is in the 6th – mistreatment of children.

 

From D-60 Saturn in Lagna Piaces indicates higly spiritual tradition

aspected also by Jupiter, Venus and mercury. Venus and Mercury in the 4th

indicate worship of Sri Radha-Krishna as well as Saligramas in Srila

Prabhupada's house. Moon in it's own house in Cancer aspected by Rahu in

it's own house indicate the Hare Krishna Mantra received by parampara. Ketu

and Mars in the 6th indicate the enimies of the tradition - impersonalism

and materialism. Sun in the 7th aspected by Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury and

Venus gives rigidness in dealing with wother social groups and institutions

which is iherited from Srila Bhaktisiddhantaji but at the same time these

relationships are also very dharmic and compassionate. Jupiter in teh 10th

again shows the preaching spirit of the institution inferited from

parampara. Rahu in the 12th in it's own house indicates the iherited danger

of prakrita-sahajiya (materialistic sentimental devotion) on the one hand

and misuse of yukta-vairajya (using material things in relation to the

service of the Lord) for one's personal sense gratification.
