I agree with the fact that Dhanush is a fiery sign, but it is the highest form of Agni tatva. There are two aspects of Agni tatva, one is fire and another is light. It has not to do with the war in real sense, but it is the war for dharma, as beautifully explained in Bhagavad Gita, where Kurukshetra is the field -Kshetra of Karma-Kuru. Thus, dhanu indicates the moral fight for dharma, where the main massage tells us that we cannot stay away from this karma, but perform the right activities. And what is the right activity? That is why Arjuna is confused. However, Shri Krishna tells him: " Nistrai Guna bhava Arjuna " - Be without the three gunas, transcend this field of karma- Be your SELF- ATMAN, that is the true message. So I would not assign sign dhanu with war in this low sense. > Dhanus is a sign where jupiter is in " avarohana " , > i.e., heading towards debility, while mars is in > " aarohana " , heading towards exaltation. Very Good point indeed. Mars in exaltation is MahaPurusha, however In dhanu, Mars is just to enter exaltation Uchchbhilashi,indicating that his attitude is calm, before the battle, a true warriour has to be perfectly calm and composed, like a steel, not a raw iron. For that reason Mars rules Sama Veda, where Sama indicates balance, composed. After performing his dharma, a Guru becomes weak, a new cycle is beginning, that is why fiery signs indicate Sat Yuga. > Dhanus is not > a pure sattwik / passive sign like pisces, it is a > kshatriya / martian sign..Parasara says so.

No, On the contrary, I appriciate that, I know you well, to think that you are showing off. No please, go on. I personally beleive that that dhanu does not show attachment to action and that Shri Krishna does not advise that. He advises: " Nistrai Guna Bhava ARjuna " be without tri gunas. I personally beleiva that the more we concur rajas, the more satva will come. Dhanu is natural 9th house of the Kaal Purush, and is the place of Isha -God, It is the guiding principle of our birth. I cannot assign rajas guna to it. Actually, Chara signs are rajas, stira signs are tamas, and dvishabhava sign (dhanu is here) are Satva as far as creation is concerned. > The term " Vaiswanara " refers to the cosmic fire as > also the digestive fire.

I will be back after I take more insight into your paperwork from Mumbai. You did a great job I remember. So far, I think that you are right in seing the Agni in Dhanu. But I beleive that Agni you see refers to light not to fire itself.

Guest guest Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Om Gurave Namah Dear Zoran, Namaste and thank you for your lovely lovely mail. I know that you'd consider whatever i have put forth with an open mind. Lastly, I want to add one last line...the most essential & highest form of Mother, as Jagadyoni, Jagan maata is expressed thus... yonimudraa, trikhandesi, trigunaamba, trikonagaa... The Lalitha Sahasranaamam almost ends on a cescendo here, and what follows are only a few lines... the praise of Mother. Thanks to Sourav and all of you, I have seen it yesterday. I have tried to show it to all of you too, but because of my own inadequacies, perhaps, I have failed to do so. Thank you very much.
