8 Dhatu continuation - Mercury

[Guest guest]

Jaya Jagannatha

 

Dear Lists,

Namaste

 

In the continuation of the 8 dhatu, I have found a passage in Padma Purana about Mercury; That it came from Bala asura’s blood. In a quest to understand more of Shiva’s energy, is anyone familiar with the story of Jalandhara? Arpad Joo, Hariram Pansari?

 

Thanks very much.

 

Love,

Dear Swee Jee,

 

Jay Jagannatha,

 

As the topic closed by Hon'ble Sanjay Rath Jee, we should not

discuss more.

 

Here we should discuss about Astrology only. As per the essence of

astrology I can say only that :

 

The formula/upadesh behind the 'Puraana-story' may be like this:

 

Shiva as supreme soul is the supreme-father of all

(Sura=goodness,positive_energy and Asura=bad,negative_energy both),

his anger(2nd of 5 main sin) appeared as a Asuara. As 'Samudra-

manthan' can't be done without joint-venture of Sura and Asura, and

no nectar and no poison would came-out, likewise the 'Vichaar-

manthan' (Brain-storming) for getting Jnaana (knowledge) can't be

without joint_venture of positive and negative thinking both.

 

As electric power can't work without using negative and positive

both currents(wires), likewise in Jyotish plannets and stars plays

multiple roles giving both possitive and negative effects in

different conditions of conjuncts, dristi, yoga and kaaraka etc.

 

The meaning of " Bal-Asura's blood " as mercury may be taken as:

mercury has very harmful Guna, but if purified became very useful.

For example : how the " Ratnaakar docait changed in Vaalmiki rishi by

chanting 'Mara-Mara' - opposit name of Rama-Rama also and

written 'Ramaayana' kaavya. "

 

So it may be the essence that : Tulasi (Vrinda) and other many herbs

many-times gives better results than the wearing of costly Gemstones

for Shanti of some 'Graha-Dosha' or saves from the negative effects

of plannets and stars.

 

As Astrology also taken as occupation or good source of income by

some... and they earn much by suggesting costly solutions by wearing

of Gemstones, Japa by Panditas, great expensive pooja etc.. which

are not possible by the poor men.

 

Therefore, I prefer to provide cheaper solutions, as already

mentioned in the Vedic lituratures (See below for Example) :

 

SACRED PLANTS:

 

Tulasi Tree (Vrinda Devi)

Bel Tree (Shiva)

Mango Tree (Ganesh)

Coconut Tree

Banana Tree (Ganesh)

Bamboo (Skanda)

Red Lotus (Sun)

White Lotus (Moon)

All Lotus Flowers (Lakshmi Devi)

Sindoor (Orange=Hanuman, Red=Durga Devi)

Kumkum (Durga Devi)

White Sandalwood (Venus)

Bhojpatra

Sriphal (Lakshmi Devi)

Kamakhy (Kamakhya Devi)

Banyan Tree (Krishna)

Bodhi Tree (Buddha)

Ashoka Tree (Buddha)

Aak Plant and root (Ganesha)

Bhang (Shiva)

Red Sandalwood - Lal Chandan (Mars)

Jasmine (Venus)

 

SACRED HERBS:

 

Arka plant (Sun)

Palasa plant (Moon)

Pippala Tree (Jupiter)

Durva Grass (Rahu)

Apamarga (Mercury)

Audumbara (Venus)

Kusa (Ketu)

Shami Tree (Saturn)

Khadira (Mars)

 

Pouring water daily in these tree/plants or wearing the maalaa of

the wood of these, may also give better shanti.

 

Some of thoughts are elaborated in by blog.

With regards.

Dear Swee,

 

I found the below mail that I had kept for reply for many days through

oversight. I think the story of Jalandhara appears in both the Padma

and Linga purana. I think the fire generated by Shiva, on Indra

disturbing him by not recognizing him and hitting him with Vajra, was

thrown into Ocean and Jalandhara was born according to Padma Purana.

Lord shiv could only kill him and he is said to have done that by

churning th ocean with his big toe and creating Sudarshan Chakra which

he asked Jalandhara to lift and Jalandhara was beheaded by the chakra

and his body was cut to pieces. I think Yama created Maharaurava Naraka

(hell) from his flesh and blood.

 

Love,

 

Chandrashekhar.
