Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 Shri Brahmadaru Smarami Dear Sourav, Vivek and others, I don't know if its the same, but there is a very famous Sandhi Puja which is performed during Durga Puja. This is a 45 min. puja which is performed between the transition from Ashtami to Navami. It is said that Ravana was beheaded at that precise moment. This of course can fall at any time, and very often it is in the night whenever the ashtami navami tithi sandhi takes place. This Sandhi Puja is said to be highly auspicious, and it is recommended that one watches this puja and does japa the entire time. It is the most poignant crucial moments of the entire ceremony of Durga Puja.

Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 om namo bhagavate vasudevayaDear Narasimha First give me the one day *exact date* when you are coming to Delhi and that date should be between Jan 12-19 for the conference. So I will schedule you accordingly. Be prepared for a 3 hour paper at least!!! Of course you must spend time with your father and visit the temples in South India/Tamil Nadu. This is your dharma-karmadhipati yoga shining and nothing delights me more that reading about your pilgrimages. This is the real flowering of Jyotish. Bring Padmaja along when you come to Delhi and stay with me. It will be so good and I want to take you to the Hanuman temple and get you a "rasa-linga" for your lagnesha Mercury. Of course I will elaborate on those points...thats a promise to YOU.With best wishes and warm regards,Sanjay Rath* * *Sri Jagannath Center®15B Gangaram Hospital Road New Delhi 110060, Indiahttp://srath.com, +91-11-25717162* * * - Narasimha P.V.R. Rao sohamsa Monday, November 07, 2005 6:00 AM Re: Sandhi Shanti Dear Sanjay ji, I don't understand the links you bring to the elements and the motion of Sun and Moon in rasis and nakshatras. But I feel that you have some interesting things to say here. Could you kindly elaborate on those points? BTW, I am planning to come to India in the middle of Jan and leave in the middle of Feb. I have a packed schedule and will be able to come to New Delhi for one day. We still have to book tickets. If I can be accommodated on a day convenient to me, I can come and speak at the conference (finally!). I will be able to come only for one day as I want to spend some time with my father and also other relatives. My last visit to India was in 2002, but it was a quick one as I came only for one week to attend a wedding. The last regular visit was for 3 weeks and it was in 1999. So I want to spend some time with father and others. I also promised a Swamiji that I will be with him for one week - he wanted to take me on a pilgrimage and show me some important temples of Tamil Nadu. Your sishya, Narasimha > om namo bhagavate vasudevaya> Dear Sourav> You have given very good points and I will add one that should satisfy all -> The rasi is created by the motion of the Sun alone. The rashi do not exist by themselves in the heavens and heir boundaries are chalked out only by the transit of the sun just as the naksatra mandali is drawn by the dance of the Moon in the heavens. There can be no rasi or nakshatra without the movement of these two luminaries. That is why the sankranti of these planets in rasi or naksatra are considered important, and of these the movement of the sun is the most important. This controls two elements namely the fire and air.> Then a relationship starts by the movement of the Moon in Rashi and the Sun in nakshatra i.e. each others domains. This controls the two other elements namely water and earth.> ...am I confusing?> OK just stick to the simple thing that the rashi do not exist without the Sun, so the movement of the Sun in the rashi is of utmost importance. Thats why the rashi are called dvadasa (12) aditya.> > With best wishes and warm regards,> Sanjay Rath> * * *> Sri Jagannath Center®> 15B Gangaram Hospital Road > New Delhi 110060, India> http://srath.com, +91-11-25717162> * * * Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 7, 2005 Report Share Posted November 7, 2005 om namo bhagavate vasudevayaDear Gordon, That is what I am talking about. It is the chara rasi and the rajas guna that I fear all the time. It s this rajas that causes battles and violence as violence requires strong rajas to get activated and then it turns into pure tamas. So when we have great malefic planets transiting the chara rasi we have the potential of the economy being used up in war, battles etc. You will observe that all world leaders who have a strong Saturn in Cancer promising Rajayoga are those who end up sending armies into battle. Whether it was Hitler or Indira Gandhi or Clinton or Bush...it was actually only, the one and only Saturn in Cancer the world had to deal with. The saving grace is the presence of Jupiter in Libra...a real savior. I know for sure that one of the biggest changes in World History is going to take place and that the cycle of power shall turn slightly more westward from America...does that mean Japan or China?? I wonder.

Have you looked at Makara Sankranti, which is at full moon this year? And also the following new moon? I found some strange correspondences. First of course there are the 4 big players - Saturn, Sun, Mars and Jupiter in mutual squares in chara rasis at both times. This is very rare. I found only 3 times in Kali Yuga when they were in these exact positions. Looking ar Rome (because it was a centre of power) there was major regime change each time during those exact 3 years - 617BC, 238 AD and 1152 AD (the final event refers to the Holy Roman Empire, of which Italy was by then just a part). Some big change seems to be on the way. Regards Gordon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 dear souravji, in my case there were no problems during ra-ju dasa sandhi. tvr9422203510 sohamsa [sohamsa ]On Behalf Of Sourav ChowdhuryTuesday, November 08, 2005 7:51 PMsohamsa Subject: Re: Sandhi Shanti || Hare Rama Krishna || Dear Ramadas - ji , Pranaam. Much thanks for this information. In a previous post, you mentioned that Ra-Ju dasa sandhi can cause health troubles. If I remember correctly, in my case, around this sandhi, I had a month long health problem (jaundice and physical weakness), otherwise with Mother's blessings I never had prolonged illnesses beyond typical health problems in childhood. Would you kindly share some thought in regards to typical problems during dasa sandhi's viz. Sun-Venus etc. Also, why.

Then this was a regular "Agnihotra - Graha Homam" where the graha shanti mantras for the dasa and antardasa lord were recited by the formula - in the number of years in dasa X 1000 (sahasrara nama). Thats how they got the 7 (Kuja years) X 1000 = 7000 mantra and 18000 for Rahu going by Vimsottari dasa reckoning. My other questions are: -> > 1. What day was chosen to do this Homam? Was this based on the chart of your daughter or a general Muhurta?> > 2. What "ajya" (this is called samvit in north india) was chosen? Grains or specific wood or both?> > 3. What time was chosen?
