Lord Krishna!/RamaNarayanan Ji

[Guest guest]

Dear Ramanarayanan jiIt was great reading your mail.Could you kindly help me more in understanding your mail fully.I feel Budha is the Karaka for memory for the following reasons.Kindly correct and guide me.Visti ji kindly read my views as well.1)Prithvi tattwa is more towards memory and shareera as compared to Akasha tattwa,represented by Guru.Janana represented by Guru is not just that of memory,though it can encompass the realms of memory.The difference is like an intelligent student and a wise person.Any wise man can understand any intelligent person.But all intelligent persons may not understand, a wise statement.2)Budha is intelligence of retention and imitation as you have rightly mentioned.This is the INITIAL learning quality needed in any student.Though Rahu/Kethu does not have, own houses/exaltation etc,there are rashis, where they feel exalted ,swastha etc as per some acharyas and thus can be used in Phalitha jyotisha.Moreover classics say Rahu/Kethu takes on the quality of the rashi they occuppy apart from being Manda/Kuja.For examle One among the qualities of Mithuna rashi is '' Hasyongithajna'' -Meaning - Ability in teasing and knowing the Ingitha or intention of others.Rahu should thus naturally feel exalted in Mithuna.Similarly Kanni Rashi, where Budha is getting exalted is having nature as ''Paragriha vaasi,Priya Bhaashi''Thus Budha likes to live in the houses of others and he is intersted in imitating others,speaking to the likes of others.He is quick and deceptive.He takes on the quality of those with whom he associates.May be for this reason, you said,Budha is chaaya of Rahu?.Moreover there is an element of materiliastic learning and existence common to them.3)Mars is ''Kroora Drik'' but Udaara/Daana sheela.Also through Mantra sidhi he bestows auspisciousness.Feet has to be studied through Rahu/Meena as per some acharyas.Meena is Moksha/feet and Rahu is the force which keeps us on earth or prithvi.Bhagavan created this Universe(through his kalpana) for experiencing/learning and returning.This dynamic process is the very activity that sustains the Universe.When his Kalpana is nil,everything shrinks back.Thus Rahu is having a very important role in the above said learnign process.Before the dasha of Brihaspathi dawns, Rahu does his job.We should never undermine Rahu.Krishna as you have said has the colour of Rahu and the deceptive nature.So Mars i think,through his Agni,burns prithvi or material experiences.Hope i have understood correct.Also Shukra is SHUKLA,which is again Agni,the beeja.I feel thus you have used Chaaya relating Kuja and Shukra.Kindly elaborate,when time permits.4)For Moksha, mercury has to be debilitated.What does this mean.Can i say,stop learning and imitating.Turn inward and see the light.No wonder mercury feels debilitated in Moksha Kshethra of Guru and Shukra floats with sublime happiness.Whenever Budha is maudhya(combust),there will be suppression of certain karaktwas related to learning.When Budha is coming closer and closer to Soorya,i feel this moudhya is a blessing in disguise.Individual learning is blurred by Soorya and budha just bends his head and absorbs/reflects true LIGHT and becomes Jnana Swaroopa.I can see this in the case of Lakshmi Ramesh ji.I can only keep my hands folded in respect,in front of your intutive wisdom,Ramanarayanan ji.It triggered even my ordinary intelligence.Kindly guide/illumine,leading me further towards HIM.RespectPradeepsohamsa , "Visti Larsen" <visti wrote:>> ||Hare Rama Krsna||> Dear Ramanarayanan, Namaskar> Budhastami is for all astrologers, not just those with ill placed planets in> their kala-chakra.

Good. Now let me address your questions.> > The karaka for memory is Buda. Buda gives you knowledge of past lives.> Reading into the account of jiva holding on to various shareeras is possible> with the aid of Buda. Remembering the ahankara's play in various shareeras> is not considered auspicious.> > What is then auspicious? Remembering the Lord the ultimate is what is indeed> the real smaranam/auspicious. It is for this reason Mars is called as> Mangala. Mars is also called as Smarahara - The Rudra who wipes out all the> memories of the past lives. i wrote about the anger part just to give hint> about the Rudra force.> > If the day dawns with the memory of the Lord that day is considered as> auspicious.> > Buda gives you the memories of shareera into which the jiva/life force was> forced to live. Mangala destroys the memories of those shareeric experience> and traces your route back to godhead.> > Astrologically there is deep connection to it. Mars is the karaka for 3rd> and 6th house(natural past houses). Buda owns the 3rd and 6th house of the> Kalapurusha. Rahu is exalted in 3rd house while Buda is exalted in the 6th> house. Buda is the karaka for 10th house(present) where Mars is exalted and> is also considered digbali there. Mars owns the lagna of the Kalapurusha> while Buda is considered digbali in lagna. Mars can bring about accidents> while Buda can bring about natural calamities/landslides etc.,!!!! Both the> planets have their marana karaka sthanas in the 7th house. The difference is> that Mars is the chaaya form of agni(Venus) while Buda is the chaaya form of> deception(Rahu). This is a subject in itself.> > By the way Budha-astami(rahu) vratha(Mars) helps bringing you back to Krsna> rather than blessing with the knowledge of past lives. Budha is the dry> earthern vessel, Astami(Rahu) is the oil-soaked wick and Vratha is the fire> force(energy) of resolution to release oneself from the clutches of> samsara.
