Lesson Three Assignment

[Guest guest]

Om Krishnaaya Namah

 

Dear Sanjay,

 

Before I go on I would like to apologise for not

replying to the Lesson more promptly. As I am in the

middle of exams right now, time is a big difficulty

and I only check my Email to ensure that I don't

overflow. A couple of times I have, and if anybody

received bounced messages, please accept my sincere

apologies. I hope to devote a lot more time to Jyotish

after next week, when my exams finish and I have a

long three month break.

 

For now, here my answers to the assignment which came

with Lesson three - " The Bhumandala " .

 

1. Why do the five planets have lordship of two houses

whereas the luminaries have ownership of one house

only?

 

I'm not entirely sure here, but here's a guess. Since

we are discussing 'Ownership' i.e. 'Lordship', perhaps

BPHS 3:14-15 is relevant. Parashara expalins that the

Sun and Moon are King and Queen respectively, and

Lesson Three explains that Half the Zodiac is under

the general ownership of the Queen, and half that of

the King. To manage (or even govern?) this land, the

King and Queen are going to need Ministers (Jupiter

and Venus), a Senapati (Mars) etc. Of course if they

have these cabinet members, they must also be treated

nicely and be given land. We read in the Itihaasa's

and Purana's how Senapati's and Yuvaraja's etc all had

their own nice little palaces, land etc. in the

kingdom and in the same way, the planetary cabinet

must also have this stuff. So assuming for example

that the Sun wants Mars to be Senapati, then the King

(Sun) will have to give the Senapati (Mars) his own

little portion of zodiacal land i.e. Scorpio. In the

same way, when the Moon chooses Mars, she'll have to

to give some land i.e. Aries. This happens with the

entire cabinet. So we end up with Sun being the

overlord of the Zodiac. He's the King and Moon's the

Queen, and they share this zodiac, and they become

overlords of half the zodiac each. The both have their

own palace each (Leo and Cancer respectively). The

other planets which form the rest of the cabinet, are

given a bit of land by both the King and Queen and so

own a sign in the Sun's half, and in the Moon's half.

Or so I think...

 

2. Determine the ayana of the planets in the horoscope

of a native born on 7th August 1963 at 9:15 PM IST at

21N28, 84E01 (Sambalpur, India)

 

In your horoscope Sanjay, the Moon, Jupiter, Rahu, Sun

and Venus are in Uttarayana. Mercury, Mars, Ketu and

Saturn are in Dakshinayana.

 

3. Determine the Ayana of the Moon in your horoscope

and also the days after your birth when the Moon

changed the ayana.

 

In my chart, the Moon is in Leo, and is therefore in

Dakshinayana. It changed ayana again 12 days after my

birth.

 

4. Attempt to explain the Mantra given inside the Bha

Chakra.

 

The Mantra inside the Guru chakra is " OM HAUM JUM SAH "

 

In Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna says in many places

that He is Om. Therefore the Om invokes the Supreme

Lord, Sri Krishna and his blessings. I think Haum is a

Bija which invokes Lord Shiva, who is Devadideva i.e.

the most powerful among demigods, and one of the

Lord's most dear devotees. I'm not sure about Jum and

Sah, although I think Sah is linked to the Ajna chakra

i.e. the third eye, which gives intuition etc.

 

In the Surya chakra, the Mantra is " OM HRIM SHRIM

KLIM "

 

Again Om invokes Lord Krishna, while I think Hrim

Shrim Klim invoke His Bhu, Sri and Nila shakti's

respectively?

 

5. Derive the order of the weekdays from the order of

the seven Dwipa. Is there any correlation between the

speed of the planets and the seven Hora's?

 

I'll look into this and get back to you soon.

 

Thank you for your time,

 

Hare Krishna,

 

Pursottam
