Opposites attract is really the theme for the seventh house, and so also what you are seeking in relationships also indicates how you will behave. However, the persons OWN nature will not be this. Either of the nodes in the seventh house has been designated as a sign of adultery according to Vyankatesh Sharma (Sarvartha Chintamani) and my experience is that especially with Ketu in the seventh house that the motivation arises if no (biological) children come in marriage. This is because Ketu's premise for allowing marriage is that the family must grow, hence Ketu can cause marriage for this reason. Rahu's or Ravana's motivation for marriage is very different. I'm sure you can get the hint. The method to overcome the weaknesses caused by the malefics joining/lording/aspecting the seventh house is by worshiping the Mahavidya of the same.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 21, 2007 Hare Rama Krishna, Dear Sharat, Namaskar. Forgive me for "butting into" your message, but there are certain things which must be said with regards to the Mahavidyas. The practice of the Mahavidyas (any Mahavidya) typically comes with a set of comitments. These commitments are serious affair, and not to be taken lightly. They relate to a set of practices, which must be done every day, maybe lifestyles, relating to diet and strict observances of certain things. This may differ from Mahavidya to Mahavidya. Let me illustrate my point. When a Guru (in Kerala for instance)judges a chela to be ready for Shri Vidya, he will start with Durga Navakshari Mantra diksha.This will entail learning and practicing DAILY ALL the appropriate nyasas,mudras etc and the reciation of the Mantra. After that Rajarajeshwari diksha is given and preliminary Shri Vidya diksha of the 15 syllabiled Mantra. AFTER at least 1 and 1/2 year of serious abhyasa/saddhana, PURNA diksha may be given with the 16 syllabiled Mantra (Shodashakshari). Gradually the chela must learn and practice all the auxillary-though by no means uninportant- practices. This is EXTENSIVE!!! And will take TIME to lear, to absorb and to practice. Along the way the chela will receive additional commitments which he must keep and practice. One has to be awfully careful with this, because once the commitments have been undertaken you can't change your mind ,let's say 6 month down the road,that "after all this is not for me".Enormous cosmic energies are manifested through the Mahavidyas.(Micrososmic and macrosmic). We are NOT talking anymore here about astrological remedies and prophylatics.The practice of Any of the Mahavidyas will result in profound life altering,personality altering and spiritually elevating changes in one's life. This is not a show and even less of an entertainment.("let's see what happens!")If one breaks the commitments and stops the practice-potentially very harmful consequences may manifest. (Invariably it will). I can't imagine anyone trying to "practice" any of the Mahavidyas by reading a book or surfing the internet-however well intentioned. If you are lucky, nothing will happen-no result. But I have seen a few real casualties already during the course of my life, (fortunately on other people)and when you have to pick up the pieces, it is not very nice to look at. Mental imbalance,madness etc.... My advice is the same I would give to a first year medical student: Until you finish your medical school-leave brain surgery alone.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 22, 2007 Hare Rama Krishna, Dear Anand,Namaskar: Yes I do. There is a Tantric Kendra with very high ethical standards,scholarship and deep commitment to the preservation and practice of the Mahavidyas on a unusually high level-in Kerala. Although their main practice is Shri Vidya,they maintain the lineages for all the Mahavidyas.(And other tantric practices) You may find, that although some of the practices in other parts of India may have been mixed up with some local practices and customs-these scholars (many of them are respected sanscrit scholars) preserved the Mahavidya lores in a very pure form. Just one warning: They don't entertain either the fool, or the credulous,or someone who is not 100% serious.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 22, 2007 |om| Dear Anand, namaste Couldnt resist giving my two cents here, but if you are serious about learning the extremely difficult Sri Vidya tantra (as rightly pointed out by Sri Arpad Joo and Smt Soul Sadhaka), you could try approaching the Sringeri Shankaracharya. There are many anecdotes told about Sri Abhinava Vidyateertha MahaSwamigal in this regard and no doubt his shishya Sri Bharati Teertha Mahaswamigal will be able to guide you in this subject. best regards Hari On 1/22/07, Anand Ravi <anandravi2004 wrote: Dear arpad joo,Do you know someone in south india who is an expert in mahavidyas and where one could go and learn?

They relate to a set of practices, which must be done every day, maybe lifestyles, relating to diet and strict observances of certain things. This may differ from Mahavidya to Mahavidya.

After that Rajarajeshwari diksha is given and preliminary Shri Vidya diksha of the 15 syllabiled Mantra.AFTER at least 1 and 1/2 year of serious abhyasa/saddhana, PURNA diksha may be given with the 16 syllabiled Mantra (Shodashakshari).

Guest guest Report post Posted January 22, 2007 Hare Ram Krishna Dear Arpad/ Ms SS, Namaskar, Many thanks for your posts. My query was to learn what are the Mahavidyas really about regards remedial measures, as Visti had alluded to them in regards to bad placement of planets. The thought of invoking them by myself or others as remedy had not even entered my thoughts. The only way I could find about them myself was to surf the internet, however a learned response from you has given me that insight. Your post has been informative in that regards. Having spent 25 yrs in becoming a highly specialised professional, I know when to wield the knife but Jyotish I am still learning! Thanks again for your response which is much appreciated.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 22, 2007 Untitled Document हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Karu and Sharat, Namaskar I'm all for people to study Mahavidya, after all everyone deserves to know their mother. But, there is a lot of A-vidya floating around the internet about Mahavidya. The most precise definition of Mahavidya lies in the word itself. It is the highest knowledge, namely that Viveka or discrimination that helps you see the difference between (i) Para vidya, (ii) Apara vidya and (iii) A-vidya. So one who has discrimination between these has the blessings of the mahavidya. The blessings that follow such as spiritual/formal education, material and spiritual blessings, etc. are all just various facets of the mahavidyas manifesting in the our lives. A good reference is Pt. Sanjay Rath's Dasamahavidya lecture and paper from Delhi 2006. Now, you can always search through the various puranas and tantras for some prasiddha mantras for Mahavidya, however, a very prime factor required for a person to worship Mahavidya is that the native is vegetarian. So whether or not it is required for a person to practice, they need to be vegetarian first. Mahavidya raises you out of A-vidya, hence, the first estimation is whether a planet is debilitated (avidya) in Rasi or Navamsa. If so it may require the person to worship a Mahavidya. If you cannot find a mantra for that mahavidya, it is advised to give Nama-japa to the person. I.e. Tripura is called Parasundari, so we advise the japa of 'Om' followed by the name 'parasundaryai' and 'namah'. This is the most basic japa which we can do. Hope this helps.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 22, 2007 Shri Brahmadaru Smarami Dear Sharat, Arpad, What Arpad writes is very correct. And what Visti writes is also correct in that the mis-information in the web is the cause of confusion, and the fact that anyone and everyone can reach the Divine Mother. Tripura Vidya as Arpad points out is very complex and south India is rich in the Sri-Kula tradition; while eastern Indian traditions are more Kali-Kula traditions. Tripura is Lalita and Shodasi. Doing the simple nama mantras of the Lalita Sahasranama can be very helpful, like "om lalitambikayai namah" . "Om parasundaryai namah", is just one such mantra from that beautiful hymn. The root bija for Tripura is "aim klim sauh". Japa or meditation on this can lead one to the guru or mantra initiation. Others are often given the three kuta bijas of Tripura to start with; sometimes just one kuta bija is given. Sometimes, Tripura's root bija, simply Shrim is given. Shrim is the root bija for Tripura, Kamlatmika and Saraswati. Sometimes small mantras like "Om aim klim tripurayai svaha" are used. Mahavidyas have the eventual potentiality of granting the maha vidya, that is the ultimate vidya of atma gyana and realization of God. The ten mahavidyas are the ten paths. Anyone can embark on these paths, as long as you are not looking upon this sadhana as a remedy, but as a means to get the ultimate knowledge. om sri matre namah Best Regards, Sarbani Sarkar Rath http://sarbani.com Sharat [gidoc] Monday, January 22, 2007 4:34 PMsohamsa Subject: Re: Das mahavidyas Hare Ram Krishna Dear Arpad/ Ms SS, Namaskar, Many thanks for your posts.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 22, 2007 Hare Rama Krishna, Dear Sarbani, Visti Namaskar. Thank you both for your erudite comments. I would like to change the subject now. I have been approached by a friend, whom I knew for sometime. He is in deep sorrow on account of his son,Jayaprabu. A bright boy, doing well in his studies, then suddenly epilepsy has appeared. The family and the boy is devastated. The father very hesitantly has disclosed this information to me. They are a poor Tamil family and can ill afford the exorbitant prices of the visits to the specialist. (Every time 700 sing $!). Allopathic medicines has supressed the appearance of epilepsy for some time, but suddenly, just a few weeks ago it appeared again. Fortunately the attack lasts only for about 15 seconds, but it is enough to cause serious damage. (also to the loss of confidence). As the family is poor, I have undertaken the work from start to finish for 1$ (as Guru dakshina). I also want them to be able to put their resources into the pujas which I will recomend for them. Anyway,since I have NEVER encountered epilepsy in any chart, I thought that I invite your deep knowledge of Jyotish to assist me and help me. Here is the info: Jayaprabu May 15th 1984, 07.05(am) Singapore The first attack of epilepsy has occured on the 20th of Oct. 2004, between 20.00-22.00 Hrs.(In Singapore) The chart itself is interesting in many respects. The close proximity of Full moon ( a few hours away), in fact Lunar eclipse, the numerous afflictions in the chart etc. Also interesting is the attack occured at the start of Rahu Antara in Shani Maha dasha.(Vimshottari) Rather than prejudice any of your judgements,I will not say any more either in diagnosis or remedies. By the way,it is open to ANYONE of you, respected members, to comment or put your "2 cents worth " in. If you have the heart and the time, please lend me a helping hand in this.

Thanks for your guidance Rgds Anand " Arpad Joo " <panchasila Mon, 22 Jan 2007 09:05:54 To:sohamsa Re: Das mahavidyas Hare Rama Krishna, Dear Anand,Namaskar: Yes I do. There is a Tantric Kendra with very high ethical standards,scholarship and deep commitment to the preservation and practice of the Mahavidyas on a unusually high level-in Kerala. Although their main practice is Shri Vidya,they maintain the lineages for all the Mahavidyas.(And other tantric practices) You may find, that although some of the practices in other parts of India may have been mixed up with some local practices and customs-these scholars (many of them are respected sanscrit scholars) preserved the Mahavidya lores in a very pure form. Just one warning: They don't entertain either the fool, or the credulous,or someone who is not 100% serious.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 23, 2007 Dear Arpad, Though I am not an expert, I understand that Epilepsy is caused when Moon, Mercury and Lagna are afflicted specially by Saturn and Mars. In the chart given by you, we can notice the following: - Moon is already in a bad shape being close to its debilitation point. And, Moon is conjunct Mars and Saturn! - Mercury is aspected by both Mars and Saturn - Lagna gets an 8th house aspect from Mars. If you check in terms of degrees, Lagna gets a powerful aspect from Saturn also. And, Lagna is also afflicted by other malefics like Rahu and Ravi. - Moreover, Mercury is further afflicted due to conjunction with 6th lord and aspect by 8th lord Jupiter. - And, Moon is further afflicted due to the aspect of 6th lord venus. - The problem causing Saturn is Badhaka for the chart as well. The above indications can be easily visualized by looking at the Sripathy Bhava chart. We can clearly see well pronounced afflictions to Mercury, Moon and the Lagna. I guess that explains the cause for Epilepsy. The boy is undergoing Saturn MD. According to the data given by you, the boy had the first observed attack during Saurn-Rahu period. However, I suspect that the problem would have developed during Saturn-Mars period itself.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 23, 2007 Hare Rama Krishna, Dear Anand Ravi Namaskar. The Tantra Vidya Pitham is NOT a public place " per se " . There are around 30+ Tantric students living and studying there full time,mastering not only the intricacies of the Mahavidyas but also the Vedas and the Upanishads etc. Their knowledge and commitment is as deep as it is extraordinary. My contact came via a true adept of Shri Vidya, who is a trusted friend. You may forgive me for saying that, and I say it with the best of intentions-I can only recommend someone whom I have met personally. I recommend that next time when I am in India, we meet up somewhere, have a chat- and perhaps visit the place together. More I cannot do at present.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 23, 2007 Dear arpad joo, Namaskar I understand. May be we should do it on your next trip to india. I had heard lots of das mahavidya and with an interest to learn iam asking you all these. Also we are planning to build a temple of das maha vidya and siva linga at the centre at a place in north india. And an ashram too. With best regards Anand " Arpad Joo " <panchasila Tue, 23 Jan 2007 15:11:03 To:sohamsa Re: Das mahavidyas Hare Rama Krishna, Dear Anand Ravi Namaskar. The Tantra Vidya Pitham is NOT a public place " per se " . There are around 30+ Tantric students living and studying there full time,mastering not only the intricacies of the Mahavidyas but also the Vedas and the Upanishads etc. Their knowledge and commitment is as deep as it is extraordinary. My contact came via a true adept of Shri Vidya, who is a trusted friend. You may forgive me for saying that, and I say it with the best of intentions-I can only recommend someone whom I have met personally.

Guest guest Report post Posted January 24, 2007 |om| Dear Sri Arpad, namaste 1. If you are based in Singapore, I am sure SJC Singapore would benefit from your presence in the weekly classes. Particularly on remedies/pujas etc. 2. In such cases as the one you posted, I look for involvement of the badhakesa and its connection with the lagna and/or Mesha Rasi (natural 1st house of kalapurusha). Additionally epilepsy indicates affliction to nervous system and thus I would look for Saturn's role as it is the karaka for nerves. In a brief look at the chart, I find that badhakesa Shukra is in lagna as the lagna co-lord Saturn is in badhaka rasi, retrograde and in debilitated navamsa. My apologies for not typing out a detailed analysis but I do recommend you look at Sanjay Rath's writings in this subject (website or his book Vedic Remedies in Astrology) to ascertain the nature of badhak and the indicated remedy. best regards Hari On 1/22/07, Arpad Joo <panchasila wrote: Hare Rama Krishna, Dear Sarbani, Visti Namaskar. Thank you both for your erudite comments. I would like to change the subject now. I have been approached by a friend, whom I knew for sometime. He is in deep sorrow on account of his son,Jayaprabu. A bright boy, doing well in his studies, then suddenly epilepsy has appeared. The family and the boy is devastated. The father very hesitantly has disclosed this information to me. They are a poor Tamil family and can ill afford the exorbitant prices of the visits to the specialist. (Every time 700 sing $!). Allopathic medicines has supressed the appearance of epilepsy for some time, but suddenly, just a few weeks ago it appeared again. Fortunately the attack lasts only for about 15 seconds, but it is enough to cause serious damage. (also to the loss of confidence). As the family is poor, I have undertaken the work from start to finish for 1$ (as Guru dakshina). I also want them to be able to put their resources into the pujas which I will recomend for them. Anyway,since I have NEVER encountered epilepsy in any chart, I thought that I invite your deep knowledge of Jyotish to assist me and help me. Here is the info: Jayaprabu May 15th 1984, 07.05(am) Singapore The first attack of epilepsy has occured on the 20th of Oct. 2004, between 20.00-22.00 Hrs.(In Singapore) The chart itself is interesting in many respects. The close proximity of Full moon ( a few hours away), in fact Lunar eclipse, the numerous afflictions in the chart etc. Also interesting is the attack occured at the start of Rahu Antara in Shani Maha dasha.(Vimshottari) Rather than prejudice any of your judgements,I will not say any more either in diagnosis or remedies. By the way,it is open to ANYONE of you, respected members, to comment or put your " 2 cents worth " in. If you have the heart and the time, please lend me a helping hand in this.

The Tantra Vidya Pitham is NOT a public place " per se " . There are around 30+ Tantric students living and studying there full time,mastering not only the intricacies of the Mahavidyas but also the Vedas and the Upanishads etc. Their knowledge and commitment is as deep as it is extraordinary. My contact came via a true adept of Shri Vidya, who is a trusted friend. You may forgive me for saying that, and I say it with the best of intentions-I can only recommend someone whom I have met personally. I recommend that next time when I am in India, we meet up somewhere, have a chat- and perhaps visit the place together. More I cannot do at present.

Guest guest Report post Posted February 1, 2007 |JAI SRIRAM| Dear Visti, In the Das MahaVidya article for chart3,Matangi worship is recommended,though Jupiter(primary curse) and Moon curse exists.Remedy is always for primary curse,but here why is the remedy for Sun is recommended.Please explain. Thanks, S.VenkateshVisti Larsen <visti wrote: हरे राम कृषà¥à¤£à¥¥ Dear Karu and Sharat, NamaskarI'm all for people to study Mahavidya, after all everyone deserves to know their mother.But, there is a lot of A-vidya floating around the internet about Mahavidya. The most precise definition of Mahavidya lies in the word itself. It is the highest knowledge, namely that Viveka or discrimination that helps you see the difference between (i) Para vidya, (ii) Apara vidya and (iii) A-vidya. So one who has discrimination between these has the blessings of the mahavidya. The blessings that follow such as spiritual/formal education, material and spiritual blessings, etc. are all just various facets of the mahavidyas manifesting in the our lives.A good reference is Pt. Sanjay Rath's Dasamahavidya lecture and paper from Delhi 2006. Now, you can always search through the various puranas and tantras for some prasiddha mantras for Mahavidya, however, a very prime factor required for a person to worship Mahavidya is that the native is vegetarian. So whether or not it is required for a person to practice, they need to be vegetarian first. Mahavidya raises you out of A-vidya, hence, the first estimation is whether a planet is debilitated (avidya) in Rasi or Navamsa. If so it may require the person to worship a Mahavidya. If you cannot find a mantra for that mahavidya, it is advised to give Nama-japa to the person. I.e. Tripura is called Parasundari, so we advise the japa of 'Om' followed by the name 'parasundaryai' and 'namah'. This is the most basic japa which we can do.Hope this helps.

Opposites attract is really the theme for the seventh house, and so also what you are seeking in relationships also indicates how you will behave. However, the persons OWN nature will not be this. Either of the nodes in the seventh house has been designated as a sign of adultery according to Vyankatesh Sharma (Sarvartha Chintamani) and my experience is that especially with Ketu in the seventh house that the motivation arises if no (biological) children come in marriage. This is because Ketu's premise for allowing marriage is that the family must grow, hence Ketu can cause marriage for this reason. Rahu's or Ravana's motivation for marriage is very different. I'm sure you can get the hint. The method to overcome the weaknesses caused by the malefics joining/lording/aspecting the seventh house is by worshiping the Mahavidya of the same.

Like Moon in 7H, may make one very insensitive/unemotional/not caring and Ju, may make one think the spouse is an idiot. Also how is Ketu considered in 7H, as many seem to unable to assign it as malefic or benefic, being headless!Your comments will be much appreciated.Thanks as always for your guidance.Sharat>>Dear Sir, NamaskarPlanets in the seventh house show the exact opposite nature of whom we are.
