Guest guest Posted March 30, 2001 Report Share Posted March 30, 2001 Om Gurave NamahDear Bharminder, You are right. Passion is a poor translation, but I was at pains to find another single word. Moha is ruled by Ketu as explained in another post, and Alcohol is ruled by saturn as explained therein. Alright. Now try to list these six vices and their six planets. Try one planet for each one of them. Best wishes Sanjay - bsgill70 varahamihira Friday, March 30, 2001 2:49 AM [Jaya Jagannath] Shadripu Dear Sanjay/Gurus Namaste, I was reading Sanjay's book on Jaimini Updesa Sutras and on page 285 Chapter III Quarter III under 3.3.71 Note he describes the 6 Shadripu's (Weaknesses) and the planets associated with each oneKama-Desire-Mercury Krodha-Anger-MarsLobha-Greed-RahuMoha-Passion-KetuMada-Alcohol-SaturnMatsarya-Sex-VenusAccording to Jaimini Sutras mars/venus association with the 2 house in navamse makes one very passionate about sex however association of Ketu with 2nd destroys such an evil.Why then is passion ruled by Ketu? Also is alcohol/wine not represented by Venus? Lastly what is the logic behind Mercury being associated with desire,I would think that this again is better represented by Rahu/Venus.I would be grateful if somebody could explain these contradictionsregardsBharminderOM TAT SATArchive: varahamihiraInfo: varahamihira/info.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 31, 2001 Report Share Posted March 31, 2001 Dear Sanjay, Infatuation would be a good substitute I think. But you are right about Ketu - I have known people to behave in an almost compulsive manner, like a sleep walker, under the influence of ketu. I was this when I was about 18 in a family member, and remember thinking how out of character their behaviour was during that time. Their normal discriminative faculties seemed to be discarded and they seemed to be able to accept situations they would not normally have been party to. As soon as the period was over, there was a return to normality and a rejection of the very thing they had pursued earlier.
