Can anyone analyze Pandit Gopi Krishna's chart: Authentic Kundalini awakening?

February 14, 2006

Dear Jyotisha,

As you all must be knowing, the most well documented Kundalini

awakening of modern times is that of Pandit Gopi Krishna, author

of " Kundalini: The Evolutionary Energy in Man " . His chart details are

as follows:

May 30, 1903, 00:14am, 74E50, 33N33, 4:59 E of GMT (according to the

charts database of vedic astrology newsgroup).

Can anyone give us an astrological analysis of his awakening

1937, in Mercury-Venus-Rahu, according to Jhora. I can understand it

occurring in Mercury mahadasha, since Mercury is the ruler of the 8th

(Aquarius ascendant), and Kundalini, by its very nature is an awakening

of the latent power in the unconscious, so it has to be connected to

the 8th house. But the rest is unclear to me (e.g. why wasnt it in

Mercury-Mercury-Mercury, or Mercury-Mercury-Rahu, for e.g.). Either

Moon or Venus is his Ishta, I assume (I dont know which), and Rahu is

in the 8th house. His awakening was the consequence of many years of

untutored ajna chakra meditation (I assume, since he says he focussed

on a lotus in full bloom in the crown of his forehead). It almost

killed him, since he inadvertently awakened only the flow of Kundalini

energy through Sun-and-heat-likened Pingala, and was able to prevent

certain death only by later concentrating its flow additionally through

Moon-and-coolness likened Ida.

His descriptions leave no doubt that he was awakened: Later on, he

developed brilliant poetic skills which he completely attributed to the

rising of the Kundalini. He also several times came close to death

since he couldnt regulate the energy easily and only through experience

learned to regulate it using a strict diet. These are all interesting

pieces of info needed to solve the astrological puzzle.

Hope someone attempts it, or points me to some earlier documented

attempt

Thank you,

Sundeep
