Jyotish & Moral Codes

[Guest guest]

Dear Members,

 

It is quite true that there are differences in Hinduism about

spiritual paths, let alone other religions and spiritual systems.

One example could be Bhakti Marga/ Jnana Marga. Adherents of one

path find theirs superior to others.

 

In the framework of Jyotish too the differences are visible and

accounted for. Unless I am mistaken, Visti Larsen or Pt. Rath wrote

about the effect of Grahas in the 5th from the Lagna and the form of

worship that the native consequently takes to. For example, if Guru

is in the 5th then the native worships/ advances spiritually through

Gurus, teachers or through the Formless/ Nirguna.

 

Likewise, the Vimshamsha is also seen. I think I recall all this has

been written about on Visti Larsen's page as well.

 

I also recall that in a class at SJC Delhi, Pt. Rath had remarked

that the Atmakaraka or the Sun can indicate the spiritual quotient,

or words to that effect, but that the Way would be shown by the

Guru/ the BK.

 

The reason for giving this background is that how far do the

differnces in charts, say the Rashi 5th House etc can be extended to

lead to an individual path to spirituality? Are there areas that

just cannot be ventured into, and is there any rational basis for

the same/ including Jyotish reasoning? Is it that even though

considerable spiritual ground has been covered in previous

incarnations/ in this incarnation, there are dangers of serious

pitfalls that could damage the path to Moksha?

 

I recall an argument in my Sade-Sati with another astrologer who was

suffering with some sexual issues and was simultaneously advocating

abstinence. While no linkages were alleged between the two, there

was reasonable ground to suspect that personal realities of his life

had made him formulate a code whereby his own choices would stand

validated.

 

Is a person born in Fiji, who may have indulged in Cannibalism or

say, some other grossness, completely disqualified from the chances

of attaining Moksha in that specific incarnation/ otherwise?

 

I watch Grahas and Dasha systems filter through the carcasses that

appear to populate this world and the benign and dangerous just

appear to be functions of the activity of the Grahas. It looks like

a puppet show.

 

One's own birth data for reference is: 11th June, 1972; 10:17AM;

Cuttack, Orissa, India.

 

Is there a right way/ a group of right ways or should the power of

the AK/ Surya, the Graha in the 5th and the other Jyotish

considerations decide the individual path of the person?

 

These are sentiments from the heart and ought to be taken in that

spirit.

 

Best Wishes.
