Guest guest Posted February 15, 2006 Report Share Posted February 15, 2006 Om Gurave Namah Namaste Sundeep ji, If you take AK kendradi rasi dasa of Sri Gopi Krishna's chart, you'd find that the dasa running during December 1937 is that of Taurus-Leo-Cancer. Atma Karaka Kendradi Rasi Dasa of D-9 (experiences of soul): Ta MD: 1930-05-29 (10:29:32 pm) - 1940-05-29 (11:52:11 am) Le AD: 1937-11-30 (1:00:56 pm) - 1938-10-01 (6:41:56 pm) Cn PD: 1937-11-30 (1:00:56 pm) - 1937-12-25 (3:10:31 am) One look at the house of Ishta devata in navamsa, and the planets contained therein, is enough to explain why the awakening should happen in this particular dasa. It also explains the sensation of powerful light that Gopikrishna felt at the time of awakening. Taurus is the house tenanted by the 8th lord of the rasi chart as well as the navamsa (moon). Venus is associated with the mokshasthanas (4,8,12) in d-1, d-9, d-20 and d-24. Sun is the 8th lord in D-24. The close association between Venus and Moon could indicate the lotus, while the Sun, ofcourse, indicates Sahasrara. The annual TP chart of 1937 also shows Mars aspecting both Aries and Taurus. same is the case with tajaka chart of 1937. Mars, I am sure that you noticed is the 3rd & 11th lord of natal rasi chart, posited in the 8th house. Hence his kundalini awakening led to unleashing of writing skills. Because Mars occupied 6th house from Aries in natal rasi chart, this awakening also led to physical discomfort. For my own research, could you please tell me if the awakening occured in the second half of December 1937? Thanks for sharing the chart with us.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Dear Sourav and Lakshmi, First, the birth data is from the birth data bank in the files section of the vedic astrology group. The birth data bank seems to have been uploaded by Gauranga Das. Second, I dont know the exact date that GK's first awakening occurred, it isnt mentioned in his book. Back to the discussion, I'm still absorbing what you've written. You both obviously see a lot more than I do. However, I've still quite a few doubts. GK has so many planets conducive to spiritual growth that it is hard to clearly isolate the one that delivered the awakening. I know that you have made a case for Mercury mahadasha, Venus antar, but why not several others. To me, his experience, I quote: " I was no longer myself, or to be more accurate, no longer as I knew myself to be, a small point of awareness confined to a body, but instead was a vast circle of consciousness in which the body was but a point, bathed in light and in a state of exultation and happiness impossible to describe " has Ishta written all over it - this is an experience of almost final emancipation. So must not the Moon (Ishta, as you have identified) be very clearly involved, in which case it is unclear why Jupiter-Moon or Saturn-Moon didnt give similar experiences. Additionally, Kundalini is Shakti, correct, the feminine aspect of the " Shiva " " duality " , symbolized by the moon (thereby again empowering the moon to give the Kundalini experience)? I dont understand AK Kendradi Rasi dasa very well, so I cant comment on Lakshmi's analysis, only absorb it. However, I notice that D-1 Narayan Dasa shows that Ge Narayan Dasa containing the Moon starts only in 1936 for the first time. Then Mercury Venus triggers the event since the environment (PVR says Narayan dasa shows environment, while Vim dasha shows mental state) is conducive, although I dont know why Mercury Venus Moon didnt do the trick, or even Mercury Venus Mars. Your comments much appreciated.. Thank you Sundeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 || Hare Rama Krishna || Dear Sundeep, namaskar. Kundalini Awakening should not be seen in isolation for the background of spiritual growth which spans several lives. Ke in 8H can give sudden rise of Kundalini shakti w/o any activity by the person. But here it is not the case. Hence when you want to judge the event from Vimshottari Dasa, you will find several choices possible, no doubt. However, there must be a clear link to the 8H and it is the rasi of that house where the shakti is stored. The best way to look at the event is to use multiple dasa techniques (as applicable to the chart in question) and find the intersection. Lakshmi-ji gave you a nice clue with AK Kendradi Rasi Dasa. It is to be used for soul-level events, of which the present one under discussion in a clear example. Another dasa you can see is Moola Dasa which is primarily to be used in D-60 and D-1 to see how past life karma's are fructifying in the present life. To my understanding, the process that Gopi Krishna went through to have Kundalini experience is not just from this life but had roots in his past incarnations. Because D-60 is not probably rectified watch the event in D-1. The Dasa at the time of event is Sa-Ma. (probably Sa-Ma-Ra is you consider Dec 1937) which clearly indicated some occult experience as Sa in co-lagna lord in 12H with A8 and Ma and Ra are players in the 8H. But then again you can argue that some other dasa could be more appropriate. The bottomline is that when the time is not ripe the karma is not mature enough to fructify. To see the karma you need to select the perfect dasa. If you do not want to see the karma but want to see the effect, you can select another dasa. Judgements from one dasa only may not be perfect and intersection will give a closer guess. Secondly, I resist to make such statements as kundalini rising is an experience of almost final emancipation. Final emancipation is not an experience but an end of experience. With Kundalini awakening and reaching sahasrara, the person exeriences a greater reality about himself and realizes a sookhsma sarira (subtle body). A new journey begins from there. Until all the samaskaras in the chitta die out, the person is no where near final emancipation. Lastly, my understanding of jyotisha is not so strong as to predict kundalini experiences. I believe we are still far from it, i.e. far from the knowledge of the Maharshis. Hence we can reconcile and justify using multifarious techniques and cannot pinpoint such events or the extent of such experiences with exactitude. Best wishes, -Sourav P.S. Mo doesn't "have to be" in the dasas. It is has close associations with another friendly planet it can get its results given by them. Also, remember that the lagna lord/lagna is very important with such personal experiences. ============================================================================================ sohamsa , "vedicastrostudent" <vedicastrostudent wrote:>> Dear Sourav and Lakshmi,> First, the birth data is from the birth data bank in the files > section of the vedic astrology group.

Guest guest Posted February 16, 2006 Report Share Posted February 16, 2006 Dear Sourav, Thanks for you reply. If you search the web, I see many descriptions described as Kundalini awakening. So I dont claim that Kundalini awakening itself is an experience of almost final emancipation. However, GK's description is deeper than most, and reading his experience of merging with the omnipresent consciousness, it is hard to not notice the parallels with other experiences and their similarity to some statements of the Bhagavad gita. I quote: 1) GK's second experience: " My body, the chair I was sitting on, the table in front of me, the room enclosed by walls, the lawn outside and the space beyond including earth and sky appeared to be most amazingly mere phantoms in this real, inter-penetrating and all- pervasive ocean of existence which to explain the most incredible part of it as best I can, seemed to be simultaneously unbounded stretching out immeasurably in all directions, and yet no bigger than an infinitely small point " 2) Jiddu Krishnamurti (nothing to do with Kundalini): " On the first day, while I was in that state and more conscious of the things around me, I had the first most extraordinary experience. There was a man mending the road; that man was myself; the pickaxe he held was myself; the very stone which he was breaking up was a part of me; the tender blade of grass was my very being, and the tree beside the man was myself. I almost could feel and think like the roadmender, and I could feel the wind passing through the tree, and the little ant on the blade of grass I could feel. The birds, the dust, and the very noise were a part of me. Just then there was a car passing by at some distance; I was the driver, the engine, and the tyres; as the car went further away from me, I was going away from myself. I was in everything, or rather everything was in me, inanimate and animate, the mountain, the worm, and all breathing things " 3) Bhagavada Gita (of Order) (http://gita.srimadbhagavatam.org), Chapter 13, Verse 31: [Verse 30 for reference: " Anyone who sees that all activities certainly in all respects are the result of material conditioning and that one as the soul is not the doer, sees perfectly " ] " When one following that tries to see that the diversity of the living beings is resting in oneness and that it expanded to that reality, at that time one attains the Absolute of the Spirit " Do you now see why I suspect that this GK's specific experience at least and perhaps not all Kundalini experiences is at least a temporary experience of what final emancipation must feel like, hence significant Ishta involvement must be present.
