Guest guest Posted July 5, 1984 Report Share Posted July 5, 1984 Dear Sanjay and class members, The Real Time here in Galway, Ireland is 3a.m on 20th April 2000 Having made a few enquires on who Sri Ram is and looking at the chart, I will attempt to answer your questions from my limited knowledge. Thanks again for your patience. QUESTION 1. Famous as a powerful warrior due to exalted Mars, Yogakaraka, FAME lord of 5/10 aspecting 10th. Famous as a renunciate due to exalted Saturn aspecting 10th Famous for his love and respect of women due to exalted Jupiter aspecting Moon and Venus Famous as a leader in the world due to Exalted Sun in 10th. Probably had great power of speech as lord of 2nd. Sun in 10th made him highly influential. Yogas Chamara yoga = 2 benefics in Ascendant per Shankha Yoga = Lord of 10th in Movable sign. Capricorn BVRaman " Lagna lord in Movable sign Cancer Kesari Yoga = Moon/Jupiter in quadrant to each other, (name goes to posterity) Obhayachari Yoga = benefics in 2nd and 12th from Sun Lakshmi Yoga = 9th lord in quadrant exalted " Lagna lord conjunct 9th lord Panchamahapurusha Yogas Ruchaka Mars exalted in quadrant Hamsa Ju exalted in Lagna Sasa Sa exalted in quadrant QUESTION 2 Rahu aspect on Moon/Jupiter/Lagna/Sun ENEMIES Mars aspect on Moon/Jupiter/Lagna/Sun Saturn aspect on Moon/Jupirt/Lagna/Sun Sri Ram had very powerful enemies in these 3 most malefic planets challenging his purpose for being here. They afflict his body, mother, father, Guru and children. Or himself, his childhood,home, peace of mind,happiness, health, work. Maybe he had to experience the pain and sadness of loss in these fundamental areas in life to ignite the courgage to fight for them for everyone else. The enemies destruction was brought about by the Sattvic power of Jupiter/Moon motivating his Dharma and Yogakaraka Mars giving him the courage to fight for the highest truth. QUESTION 3. DARMA LESSON TAUGHT BY SRI RAM I know you have explained this through EKA PATNI but as I didnt know what these words meant I had to look for it in the chart. Planets posited in the Dharma Houses are Jupiter/Moon/Venus and Mars is a Dharma and Karma Lord. Exalted Jupiter is honourable, providing guidance and protection to the Moon, Venus, Mars, and 1st, 5th and 9th by direct aspect. His duty therefore was to protect the mother, the wife and siblings as well as the self, the child and the Guru(father) i.e. the family. QUESTION 4 PAST LIFE CURSE As outlined earlier, he had very strong enemies Rahu/Saturn/Mars which deprived him of childhood happiness and forced him to leave home. I couldnt find in BPHS who was responsible for the affliction or why. As the signs Aries, Cancer and Sagittarius are the most afflicted I would propose that previously he may have been overly arrogant in his behaviour towards his mother and his guru. The remedy might be to offer service to help mothers and fathers without gaining anything for himself. Maybe that is why we in the west do not know of him or the value of the work he did. QUESTION 5 MARRIAGE/CHILDREN 5th house is surrounded by Saturn and Rahu, while Jupiter, karaka for children, aspected by Saturn and Mars may have caused delay. Mars, lord of 5th and yogakaraka, getting the aspect from moon and Jupiter, with Jupiter also aspecting the 5th gave him nice children due to benefic aspect. Dont know how to read twins though! Maybe a double aspect of Jupiter, once on 5th lord and also on 5th house. Jupiter likes to do things big! Interesting the double aspect of Saturn and Jupiter, with Jupiter winning. QUESTION 6 SITA his wife was a powerful woman and is also famous. Venus Karaka, exalted, Lord of 7th Saturn Exalted, and 7th house aspected by 2 powerful benefics. Maybe without her love he would never have been able to achieve what he did. And because of his love for her he was prepared to go to great lengths to protect her. With Cancer Lagna, he was sensitive, generous and kind. Having 2 benefics in the Lagna and lord of 2nd exalted, he was probably also very handsome with beautiful eyes, and had many admirers! Due to the aspects from the malefics any pursuit of selfish interests would bring suffering. The rest of the story I dont know but I look forward to reading it. QUESTION 7 Sri Rama as a significator for the Sun, I dont know. Maybe because his life became a beacon of light for so many who came after him. Again, if anyone knows of a Sanskrit/English dictionary they could recommend I would really appreciate it. Dear Sanjay, I checked the website you recommended and added them to my own list, but I need more than is available there. I know too little. In the meantime I would be grateful if you could explain the following words: SHIKSHA JANAKI DANDAKARANYA (danda = punishment) VANVAS SIMHASANA (simha = leo) (yoga teacher friend said this is a yoga posture) EKA (one) PATNI During my research I found the meaning for the word DIKSHA and realised what a blessing it is for me that you have chosen to take me as a student. Your chosing me as your SHISYA means you see me as worthy of your knowledge and wisdom. I pray I will be able to honour your belief in me and find a way to serve you. As a westerner, I asked with the expectation and innocence of a child without the realisation of what it really meant to become your shishya. If there is anything I have said that may have offended you or anyone in your class in any way, it was not intentional. Also, even though my level of technical knowledge is not as good as others I would still like to participate in all the assignments, however long it takes. This one has been very difficult due to time constraints and getting used to Rahu in 6th in Sag stuff visiting me. Being part of your class is a gift to myself that I really want to continue. p.s. my picture is in the post as I do not have a scanner, my computer is too old to accomadate one. Go raibh mile maith agat (may you have thousands of good things happen to you) the above is how we say thank you in the Irish language. Your shishya Pearl.
