Question for Sanjay Rath

[Guest guest]

Dear Linda,

 

I do not have the reference at present for the Stanza " Agre Rahu adhou Ketu

Sarva madhye Graha... " for Kala Sarpa Yoga (KSY) and the reverse i.e. " Agre

Ketu adhou Rahu .. " for Kala Amrita Yoga (KAY). There were other details

about the famines and destruction brought about by the KSY in mundane

matters. This was extended to natal charts.

 

The moot point is that the nodes (Rahu & Ketu) represent the two extremities

of life like the infra-red rays (Ketu) and the Ultra-violet rays (Rahu)

being the two extremeties of the visible spectrum of seven colors (VIBGYOR -

the remaining seven planets from Sun to Saturn). Like the Infra-red &

Ultra-violet rays are not part of the visible spectrum, yet they can be good

(Infra-red can cure many bone related/muscle related diseases) or bad (UV is

very dangerous and depletes the ozone layer like Rahu cutting out our

breathing system and causing strangulation, asthama etc) so also the nodes

Ketu & Rahu are not visible, yet they can influence human life.

 

These two extremities of Human life are the Saint who renounces all

attachment to worldly material existence in search for emancipation from

sorrow/re-birth symbolised by Moksha karaka Ketu ruling the Tejas (fire) of

tapasya or the dreaded Criminals who will go to any extent to enjoy the

material enjoyments of this world like the Bhogi - Rahu. These nodes are

always opposite to each other symbolising the opposite poles of life

direction. Every human being is stationed between these two extremeties at

any point of time in his life.

 

Coming to the question of determining the existence of KSY or KAY, the first

thing is to IGNORE the ascendant (Lagna). Place your finger on the sign

occupied by Ketu and move it zodiacally along the signs till the sign

occupied by Rahu. Were all the other seven planets placed within these signs

from Ketu to Rahu? If yes, then Kala Sarpa Yoga exists. Similarly, place

your finger on the sign occupied by Rahu and move it zodiacally along the

signs till the sign occupied by Ketu. Were all the other seven planets

placed within these signs from Rahu to Ketu? If yes, then Kala Amrita Yoga

exists. If KSY exists then there is an inherent tendency to enjoy and to

grab material comforts for oneself. This can take an extreme form like

criminal tendencies like stealing etc. If KAY exists, then the tendency is

to give up everything. In any case such people tend to be extreme in their

decisions and naturally, there will be physical (Rahu) and mental (Ketu)

suffering just like Rahu and Ketu eclipsing the Sun and Moon respectively.

In both cases, this is considered a bondage due to Karma of the last birth

and will relieve the person or manifest at a certain specific age depending

on the chart. One method of determing this is to use the natural years of

the planets (refer to Crux of Vedic astrology by this scribe) where that for

Rahu is 45 and for Ketu is 43.

 

The next natural question is to determine the planets that can break this

KSY or KAY related suffering. We know that natural malefics in Kendra

(Quadrants) generate Sarpa Yoga. Thus, natural malefic planets (Sun, Mars,

Saturn, Rahu & Ketu - Sun has been included as a Krura and not as a Dushta)

only enhace the suffering and potential problems associated with the KSY or

KAY while natural Benefic planets (Moon, Jupiter, Mercury & Venus) can annul

the suffering and generate greatness or Maha Yoga.

 

Next comes the placement of these planets to annul the KSY/KAY and generate

the Maha Yoga. If in a chart otherwise having KSY/KAY, these benefic

planet(s) are placed with either of Rahu (Bhoga) or Ketu (Moksha) then the

suffering ends and he attains greatness. Now coming to houses, the placement

of these planets in the first or seventh house (Satya Peetha) also generates

this great yoga. The results of KSY/KAY are altered as per the houses they

start from and end at. Details are beyond the scope of this letter.

 

A traditional Vedic Astrologer should not end without a small note on

remedies. " Kaloh Chandi Vinayako " is the Vedic remedy for this KSY (Chandi)

or KAY (Vinayaka - Ganapati) respectively. When the benefic planets conjoin

the nodes, the deities are Parvati/Gouri (Moon), Sambasiva (Jupiter), Vishnu

(Mercury) and Lakshmi (Venus) respectively. When natural benefics are in the

first house, then the deity is a form of Vishnu while in the seventh house a

form of Shiva. In this manner the intelligent astrologer can recommend the

correct remedy.

 

A lot of research is required and I wish you well in your efforts.

Best Wishes

Yours truly

Sanjay Rath
