Guru Nanak Dev By Manpreet Singh Gambhir (Continued from last issue) Maharishi Parasara in chapter 30 of Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra states that marriage and renunciation should be examined from Upapada. In this article the focus is on Guru Nanak Dev ji and hence on Upapada. Guru Nanak Dev ji’s life history is recorded by different scholars in set of books called JanamSakhi. There are four different JanamSakhis namely, Puratan JanamSakhi, Meharban JanamSakhi, Bhai Bala’s JanamSakhi, and BHai Mani Singh’s JanamSakhi. Unfortunately the date of marriage stated differs in all of these JanamSakhis. The age at which Guru ji got married is stated as 12years, 14 years, 17 years and 19 years. Modern scholars have done some research on this and one of the conclusion is that Guru ji got married at the age of 12 years but did not stay with his wife till the age of 19 years. This article tries to zero on the date of marriage based on Guru Nanak Dev ji’s horoscope. All the JanamSakhis agree that Guru Nanak Dev ji’s wife (Sulakni Devi) belonged to Batala, a place which was 10 days travel time away from Guru ji’s village Talwandi. The distance from which spouse would come is examine from the lord of 7th house from Venus. In this horoscope, Venus is in Libra hence lord of Aries (i.e. Mars) would bring the scope to the native. Mars is in Libra in a moveable sign indicating that the wife would come from a far off place. Marriage at a young age of 12 years is essentially a child marriage. Child marriages though are performed at a young age but the bride and groom generally start living together at a later age. Hence child marriage can be viewed as a commitment to marriage or as an engagement which involves marriage ceremony. Since the ceremony is involved, such an engagement must be linked to Upapada. From the age of 11 years and 8 months to 12 years and 4 months Guru Nanak Dev ji was running Narayana dasa of Capricorn and Antar dasa of Virgo. Virgo houses Jupiter, the lord of Upapada and aspects the Upapada itself. Hence it can give child marriage. At Guru ji’s age of 12 years 2 months Vimshottri Mahadasa of Rahu and antar dasa of Rahu stated. To give marriage the graha whose mahadasa is running must have argala on Navamsa Lagan. Rahu is placed in 3rd from Navamsa Lagan result in argala on lagan. (Malefics in 3rd result in argala - reference: Pt. Sanjay Rath’s translation of stanza 1.1.5 of Jamini Maharishi’s Upadesa Sutras). Rahu itself is one of the lord of 7th house in Navamsa and hence can give marriage in its antar dasa. Since Upapada lord is Jupiter, Rahu would generally not give marriage but it can in this horoscope because Rahu is placed in Jupiter’s sign in Rasi chart. From the age of 17 years and 5 months to 17 years and 6 months Guru ji was running Narayana dasa of Gemini and antar dasa of Libra. Libra houses Venus whereas Gemini aspects both upapada and upapada lord Jupiter. Hence it can give marriage. From the age of 19 years and 1 month to 19 years and 6 months Guru ji was running both Narayana dasa and antar dasa of Gemini. Gemini aspects upapada, upapada lord and conjoins Ketu and hence can give marriage. If we were to support the theory that Guru ji got married at the age of 12 years but started living with his wife at a later age, then Gemini-Libra dasa would be chosen over Gemini-Gemini dasa for his union with his wife because Libra conjoins Venus (significator of physical contact whereas Gemini conjoins Ketu (significator of renunciation). Selection between the two dates can be made by considering Sudarshan Chakra. Progressing Saturn at the rate of 1 sign per 2.5 years and Jupiter at the rate of 1 sign per year, Saturn would be in Scorpio from age 15 years to 17 years and 6 months and in Sagitarius from 17 years 6 months to 20 years. From Sagitarius it aspects 7th house hence the later period cannot give marriage. In the 18th year Jupiter would be in Aquarius. Being in the 7th house and aspecting Venus by Graha drishti it can give marriage. Hence the marriage can occur between the age of 17 years 5 months and 17 years and 6 months. In Sudarshan Chakra progressing at the rate of one sign per year, 18th year is signified by Capricorn which is in trines to A6, thus confirming the above specified data for marriage. Applying Vimshottri dasa to determine marriage, at the age of 17 years 5 months Guru ji was running Mahadasa of Rahu and antar dasa of Saturn. Rahu has shub argala on the Navamsa lagan and Saturn is the lord of 7th house thus indicating marriage. Hence the marriage could have occurred at the age of 12 years and between 17 years 5 months and 17 years 6 months. Since the Upapada lord, Jupiter, is in the second house, it indicates marrying a person who is already married. This is true specifically if the Upapada lord is a Graha that signifies low morals (like Moon) but in this case Upapada lord is Jupiter - significator of high morals. Thus it indicates marrying one’s own wife again. Thus Guru ji got married at the age of 12 years but started living with his wife from his 18th year. At the age of 27, Guru Nanak Dev ji went to take bath early in the morning in River Bias. He took a dip in the river but never came out. He reappeared after 3 days. This period of 3 days is recorded in the history as the time when Guru Nanak Dev ji had union with God. It was at this time that Guru ji renounced the world traveling far and wide to preach the name of God. Timing of renunciation is done using Drig dasa. At the age of 27 Guru Nanak Dev ji was running Drig dasa of Aquarius. Aquarius being 12th from Upapada indicates rejection/renunciation of marriage. Guru ji’s horoscope has malefics in Arudha Lagan (Sun), 2nd from Arudha Lagan (Rahu) and 8th from Arudha Lagan (Ketu) resulting in Kema Dhruma yoga. This yoga if occurs with respect to Arudha lagan indicates parting with money. (Refer to Pt. Sanjay Rath’s translation of stanza 1.2.119 of Jaimini Maharishi Upadesa Sutras). Rahu is part of the yoga and is also the lord of Drig Dasa Rasi Aquarius resulting in manifestation of the yoga (refer to stanza 1.2.221 of Jamini Maharishi’s Upadesa Sutras). Saturn, as lord of Aquarius conjoins Moon (significator of rivers) explaining why Guruji’s renunciation started from dip in the river. Moon also being 7th from Arudha Lagan gave Guru Nanak Dev ji everlasting fame. History records that Guru ji’s journeys lasted till the age of 52 years and then he returned back to his family. At that age Guruji was running Narayana dasa of Aquarius and antardasa of Leo. Aquarius is the 7th house (signifying spouse) indicating Guru ji’s return back to his village to stay with his wife. While most astrologers tend to apply the Narayana Dasa principles to other Dasa, this is not correct. The Drig Dasa starts from the ninth house and its arrival in any sign influencing Arudha Lagan can give renunciation. The converse is true for Narayana Dasa. Thus, if the Drig Dasa of Aquarius gives renunciation, the Narayana Dasa of Aquarius gives Bhoga and since it is the seventh house itself, it can indicate separation from spouse in Drig Dasa and their meeting again when Narayana Dasa of the sign starts. The reason for his return was to teach religion to the masses - demonstrating how a common man should live his life ensuring that he follows Dharma. This is indicated by Aquarius’s aspect on 9th house (Dharma) and Dharma-Karmadipati yoga in Libra. Dharma-Karmadipati yoga indicates that teaching Dharma (or religion or way of life) would be the karma of the native. HEALING VISION UNSEEN LEADS BY: Shomi Chauhan All of us have spiritual causal egg-shaped radiance surrounding us. Everyone has an aura. You all must have already seen or experienced auric field of others. Anything that has an atomic structure will have an aura-It is a unique bioplasmic, electromagnetic energy field that surrounds it. The atoms of animate life are more active and vibrant than that of inanimate matter. Energy field of tree plants animals, people are more easily detected and of course-experienced. It is said that many Avatars (Those who have their eye of spiritual wisdom open) had the aura extending to kilometers-the greater the self realization the brighter and bigger the aura. The extension of this electromagnetic vibration was the cause of spiritual saints drawing large number of followers when ever they went the more vitalized your auric field is the more energy you will have –the less likely you are to be affected by outside forces. Any weakness in general character will make you susceptible to outside influence, which would result in your being more easily used and manipulated. A weak auric projection would obviously result in health problems, and feeling out of control of life situation resulting in anger (another from of helpless) and other such negative emotions. The aura surrounds all of us. It is three dimensional and elliptical in shape. The shape, size, colors and clarity indicates specifically about your health status: Physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. What is a halo? We all must have witnessed ancient paintings of Head of Minerva. Jesuit priests and aspect like a Rama, Buddha, and Krishna having a halo. Did you ever wonder as to what exactly was that etheric nimbus? During the opening of the third eye or complete spiritual illumination. The kundalini fire rises upwards through the spinal canal into the pons of medulla oblongata. The golden light radiating from the base of brain, at the back, gradually, increases in size and intensity until. It forms the nimbus, etheric or “ halo” of the “saint” or anyone who has been illuminated. The pituitary body is surrounded by elliptic rose aura –the pineal gland or the third eye of mysteries is blue in color-surrounded by radiating blue aura. In complete spiritual illumination-the aura includes all colors of the spectrum but blue decidedly predominates. The blue color of Shiva or complete illumination? Coming back to “normal” humans, the aura gets weakened by poor diet, stress, alcohol, drugs, negative habits and improper psychic activity. Modern science tells us that human body is composed of “subtle (?) Energy fields” these energy emanations from the body includes energy fields generated within the body and others are received from outside and later transformed therein. A general blending of your energies and those around you takes place. Astrological or stellar influences as are often describes in astrology are also absorbed and transformed into energy expression within the individual. Some planetary influences may affect an individual more strongly than other. With a little self-observation you can increase your perception of these influences and learn to harmonize your aura and the aura of place you live! It is interesting here to mention about a clairvoyant who through mastery of inner plane of thought activated his third eye and could perceive atomic vibration. Once a young girl had come for healing to him. He gave her a reading of witnessing a wrecked ship in her aura. She was surprised as nothing that has ever happened to her or anybody she knew she started relating it to her past life. But to the psychic the clarity of this impression told him that it happened in the near present. Hitherto manifesting so in her aura. Then she recalled that she had read a novel about pirates and there were some thrilling scenes about ship wreckage and lot of emotional drama. Of course the mystery unfolded the vicarious pleasure of witnessing this thrilling drama this powerful thought from embedded itself in the subconscious aura and the psychic healer could perceive it. There are of course impression of past life and such thought forms which can be triggered by or stimulated through certain techniques of past life regression. Whenever the electromagnetic frequency of your aura is close to the frequency of others. There is a natural rapport. It is not unusual to find others assuming that such rapport is sign of past life connections this may be so in some cases but is more likely to reflect a similar auric weaving that depicts closeness frequency on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. It can vice-verse where individual whose auras may have greatly different frequencies then your own ovoid, egg, shaped radiance. May feel some resistance. You may have noticed the odd behavior of humans in an elevator they look as if they are waiting for a final countdown-or people who lean too close when they talk making you feel uncomfortable? Well, it does not always imply that there is something wrong but rather the subtle energy fields, which are interesting, are not in resonance with each other and subconscious message is-“please keep out of my auric sheath.” Or “Give me my space”. Your aura charges the environment with an energy pattern in harmony with your own. Many people feel uncomfortable in sleeping in another’s bed-the breaking in period of beds, cloths, new houses is the time your aura takes to magnetize and harmonize the environment object etc with your own energy frequency. The peer pressures an ordinary individual. How can we all see and perceive these electromagnetic vibrations? Well, it totally depends on our own since efforts on this direction-True unselfish love towards all beings-great and small-towards plants and animals is thought, words and deeds releases the blockages in our chakras. The realization of these forgotten rainbows is the first step towards complete spiritual illumination. Love opens the third eye by releasing emotional mental debris from in and around each chakra. Third eye is your sixth sense-six in the number ruled by Venus the Goddess of love. There are of course innumerable techniques to activate the former. And you can choose any one according to your own personal growth. A very effective technique of seeing aura is to first realize its presence and be ‘willing’ to ‘see’ it. Svarodaya science of breath control and kriya yoga technique is also most powerful. Persistence and sincere attempt to bring harmony to friends and enemies alike is the key. You can also be guided by your own higher self within-whispering eternal truth in your inner ear. Remember we don’t have to learn to see Auras. We have to re-use our version for the same. Any teacher, master or Guru’s task is to help you remember what you already know. Essential knowledge of Chakra’s and planets would also be helpful in bringing about a clear day when you can see forever! Knowledge and perception of aura leads to greater understanding of life on our pulsating universe. You become more attuned to electromagnetic frequencies. You begin to realize that people in actuality are mass chord of vibration on a chromatic scale. As we learn to see who actually we are perceptions we have of us becomes expanded for in actuality we are not what we are made to believe since childhood. All negative programming has to be pulled out from the computer brain-GIGO (garbage in –garbage out) before you can see the true nature of earth and its inhabitants, and the world beyond. For, as the wire ones say-Ageless melody, unheard guides, True rescues immortals know and Healing vision-unseen leads. MADNESS By Shiv Pujan The condition of fifth house/ 5th Lord, Moon & Mercury have to be analyzed to know the condition of the mind. Moon represents mood and emotional condition whereas Mercury represents reasoning ability & logic etc. The fifth house and fifth lord will show inclinations. Finally we have to see influences on all the above factors. Excessive negative influences on the above can cause madness. Case I: Birth 27th July 1954; Time: 21:45 Hrs; Place: Sitapur, India The Moon who happens to be the 5th lord is afflicted by Ketu and aspected by Rahu and Mars ®. It has gone to 6th house in Navamsa Chart. Mercury is afflicted b\y Ketu and aspected by Rahu and Mars. The sixth lord, Sun is in 5th house and 12th lord Sat aspects fifth house from eighth house. The retrograde natural malefic Mars aspects the fifth house. The above negative influences on fifth house and 5th lord, Mercury and Moon have caused madness in Jupiter dasa Ketu antardasa. He remained in the same condition after that for more than two decades. Case II Birth Date: 24/07/1974; Time: 18:30 Hrs; Place: Bombay, India In Case II, Mercury is afflicted by Saturn, a dire malefic for Sagittarius ascendant. In Navamsa chart Mercury gets debilitated in fifth house and is again afflicted by Saturn. The Moon goes to eighth house in Navamsa Chart. The sixth lord Venus afflicts Mercury. The fifth lord Mars is aspected by Saturn. During the Dasa of Rahu and antardasa of Saturn in 1993, while in a journey (Venus), the person was given something to eat by a co – passenger. He has become abnormal since then. Case III Birth 8th Dec 1985; Time: 22:28 Hrs; Place: Delhi, India. The fifth lord Jupiter is debilitated in sixth house and is aspected by 6th lord Saturn and Mars. Mars and Ketu afflict the Moon. Moon goes to eighth house in Navamsa chart and gets debilitated. In Navamsa chart Mercury is in fifth house afflicted by Rahu. The native’s behavior and reaction to his surroundings and his peers is such that he has been threatened with expulsion from school. His behavior is totally abnormal. MR. AL GORE AND THE US PRESIDENCY By J Sarat Chander HL - Hora Lagna GL - Ghatika Lagna Chart of the Vice President of the USA, Mr. Al Gore, Born on 31st March 1948 at Washington DC, USA. AC - 13 deg 20 min. Char Karak Jupiter 05 deg 28 min. Gnati Sun 17 deg 47 min Matri Venus 02 deg 53 min. Dara Moon 10 deg 11 min Pitri Saturn 22 deg 51 min. Bhratri Mars 25 deg 00 min Atma Rahu 22 deg 53 min. Putra Mercury 23 deg 46 min Amatya Ketu 22 deg. 53 min As may be seen from the above chart, Mr. Al Gore was born in Cancer Ascendant and Scorpio Navamsa Lagna. Moon the ascendant lord/Lagna Lord has gone to the 6th and is in conjunction with the lord of the 6th – Jupiter, who is in his own house (Sagittarius). The Ascendant has conjoined Saturn (lord of the 7th and 8th) and Mars (lord of the 5th & 10th). Mars, being the lord of the 10th, conjoining the Ascendant gives rise to Kendradipathi yoga and it is also his Yogakaraka. Though it is debilitated, its conjunction with Saturn (the lord of its exaltation sign) in a kendra (Ascendant) cancels the debilitation and gives rise to Neechabhanga Rajyoga. Moon, the lord of Lagna, conjoining the 6th lord in 6th house gives rise to Dheemantah yoga, which makes him a very well read and knowledgeable person. Mars and Saturn conjunction in the Lagna also makes him a very hardworking person though the traces of a sagging spirit could be seen in him occasionally due to the debility of Mars and also the conjunction of Saturn. Besides, the Lagna is also conjunct A3 and A10, the Arudha padas of the 3rd and 10th house. The 10th lord (Mars) conjoins A10. This also makes him a man with great strength to achieve the goals of his karma/action. Thus, his Martian qualities will predominate his disposition because it has won over the ‘Graha Yuddha’ and is the Atmakaraka. The Ascendant is also aspected by Venus from the 11th house – Taurus, which also happens to be his Arudha Lagna (Arudha Lagna is arrived at by first calculating the number of signs the Lagna Lord has moved from its house (Lagna) and then by progressing those many signs from its placement). This makes him a person with a very charming personality and a strong charisma. Venus, being the karak for Arudha Lagan (Maya), bestows upon him undying charm, name and fame as it also aspects his Lagna (the Truth). Thus, he has risen to a great height by having become a Vice President at a very young age and has gone into the history of America. In fact, achieving the highest office is the desire of his Atma (Soul) too as may be seen from the Arudha of the Navamsa Ascendant. The Lord of Navamsa Lagna – Mars, becoming Atmakaraka becomes Karaka yoga – a great yoga in itself. It is also quite interesting to note that the Martian sign Scorpio plays an important role in deciding the US President and Mr. Al Gore has Scorpio rising in his Navamsa Lagna. The lagnesh – Moon – having gone to the 6th house not only makes him a Dheemantah, but he is also troubled by a number of enemies and great amount of his energy is spent fighting his adversaries. No wonder he has a good number of adversaries given the fact that he is in politics and his desire is to achieve the highest office. Jupiter’s presence in the same house, which is also his own house, indicates presence of strong political enemies but he will win over these adversaries as Moon has won over Jupiter in degrees. His Upapada conjoins Ketu, Hora Lagna (HL), A7 (Arudha pada of 7th house) in the 4th house and it has the aspect (Rasi drishti) of Venus from the Arudha Lagan and Mercury in the 8th house. His Upapada is also in “Sashtashtak” relationship with the Arudha Lagna. This means that his public image would, quite often, be a source of disturbance in his private life. His Dasamsa (D10) chart has Cancer rising in the ascendant and Sun is placed in the 10th house – Aries – in exaltation. Mars is once again aspecting both the Dasamsa Lagna and the Sun in Aries by Rasi drishti from Scorpio – the 5th house. Moreover, the Dasamsa lagnesh, Moon, is placed in a trine (9th house) to the ascendant. This indicates that he should rise in his karma to achieve the high political offices in his lifetime, which he is bound to do so. His Ghatika Lagna, which indicates power and authority, is placed in Virgo (Kanya) in the 3rd house, which is the 5th from Arudha Lagna. The Ghatika Lagna is also aspected by Sun in Pisces; Jupiter and Moon in Sagittarius and A9 in Gemini. The aspect of Sun, Moon and Jupiter on the Ghatika Lagna is very beneficial for his political career. He is currently running the Rahu Mahadasa – Saturn Antardasa. Rahu is occupying the 10th house in his natal chart (Rasi Chart) and is aspecting the 10th from Arudha Lagna (Aquarius), which is its own house, while Saturn occupying the Lagna also aspects Aquarius (10th from Arudha Lagna). He also begins his Aquarius Narayana Dasa, which begins from 1st April 2000. This indicates that he will be blessed with high offices. He already continues to hold one (Vice President for the past 7 years) and definitely seems to be a potentially strong candidate to ascend to the highest office – that of the President of the US. OM TAT SAT Mantra By Ashok Kaushik After describing various deferent mantras in his monumental classic Mantra Mahodadhih, Mahidara described the most important mantra’s of Sri Narasimha in Taranga fourteen as follows: xa`aoma Kshrom . It is a one syllable Ekakshari beja mantra of Maha Vishnu for meditation. It fulfills our desires of this world as well as gives salvation because Srim Ea`IM is beeja mantra for Sri Ram or Guru who guide us and gives right direction in this world Om Pranava represent Param Brahma who gives mukti (salvation). By conjoining Maya beja h`IM Hrim and Om ! Pranava from both side forms two mantras of three syllable each. We can have good health or get rid of all health related problems and fulfill. Our worldly desires by recting )IM x`a`aoma hIM Hrim Kshroum Hrim . ! xa`aoM ! ‘Om Kshroum Om’ is good for self purification and removal of all obstacles in the path of salvation. Mahidara gives a very powerful and simple eight syllable Narsimha mantra which destroys all kind of fears thieves, lion, serpents, bad dreams and ailments of eyes, head and throat, drives away the effects of black magic and fulfills all our worldly desires. Two times Jaya and than adding Sri Narsimha gives the mantra: Jaya Jaya Srinarsimha . 1 Jyotish News September 1999 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
