Doshas

[Guest guest]

Namaste friends,

 

I caught a discussion of doshas corresponding to various rasis.

 

I suggest that we should stick to the teachings of Parasara. There is

already a lot of corruption in Vedic knowledge. The more we deviate

from the teachings of maharshis, the more difficult it becomes to

discover the true knowledge.

 

Irrespective of the teachings of contemporary savants, Parasara's

teaching is that Scorpio is a kapha rasi. Fiery signs are pitta rasis,

earthy signs are vaata rasis, watery signs are kapha rasis and airy

signs have all the three.

 

Of course, this does not mean that everyone with lagna in Sc is of

kapha type. There are so many other factors that matter. But the

basics must be taught and preserved as taught by maharshis. Then only

we will have any hope of solving the remaining riddles oneday.

 

Along with doshas, we should also consider the natural significators

of tissues and various activities. For example, Sun is the

significator of digestion as already mentioned by a learned friend. A

lady I know with Sun afflicted by Saturn in a vaata rasi has poor

apaana vaayu (vaata problem) and it affects her digestion process. She

had chronic constipation until she tried ayurveda. Another lady has

Mars (significator of majja = marrow/nerve tissue) afflicted by Rahu

in a vaata rasi and has " majja gata vaata " (marrow afflicted by vaata)

and suffered from epilepsy until she tried ayurveda.

 

In addition, sub-doshas are as important as doshas. There are five

sub-doshas within each dosha. Obviously these are given by the

influence of the five tattvas on the doshas. For example, a fiery

influence on a kapha rasi may denote kledaka kapha. An airy influence

on a pitta rasi may denote aalochaka pitta. An ethery influence on a

pitta rasi may denote sadhaka pitta. And so on. We can analyze rasi,

D-3, D-6 and D-30 etc.

 

There are a lot of things left for our research when it comes to the

links between Jyotish and Ayurveda. But, deviating from the teachings

of maharshis in *basics* is like taking an exit from the highway into

a small road with the target still hundreds of miles away! We should

go on the highway as far as possible. Let us stick to the basics

taught by maharshis.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
