II HARE RAMA KRISHNA II

 

Dear Sarajit Babu,

Namaskar,

 

Thanks for guiding.

 

There is no planet in the 5th house . Only exalted Jupiter( R ) is aspecting the house with Rasi Drishti. There is no graha drishti on the house.

 

Then, what this indicates? <smile>

 

Best wishes

Dilip Banerjee.

|| Jaya Jagannath ||Dear Dilipda,

 

The percentage of Tithi already spent is 86.23% according to your calculation. Just find what is 86.23% of 12 and you have 10.34 as the reminder. Round up and you have 11 as the Jyotirlingam indicating sign. This is kedarnath as you said and represent 5th house. The mission is knowledge and mantra. What else? See what else is indicated by placement of the planets there and the aspects!

 

Best Wishes

Sarajit

II NAMAH SHIVAAYA II

 

 

 

Dear Narasimha ji

 

Namaste,

 

 

 

Any topic of jyotish gets a new dimension and a higher meaning when you explain. Thanks for explaining so nicely!

 

 

 

In my chart, JHL 5 shows krishna saptami and 13.77 % of it is left. This is subtracted from 100 , and we get 86.23. 86.23*3= 258.69. Dividing it by 25 , we get 10 and some fraction, rounding it up, we get 11. Thus the sign in my case is aquarius. The jyotirlinga is kedarnath.

 

 

 

Aquarius is my 5th house in rasi chart. What is the purpose then of my creation? Mantra sadhana ? Devotion to Lord ? Please explain.

 

 

 

Warm regards

 

Dilip Banerjee.

Om Namashshivaayai Cha NamashshivaayaDear Karen,Namaste.As the mantra I wrote at the beginning says, Moon and Sun symbolize Shivaa (Parvati) and Shiva respectively. It is their union that produces us all, for various purposes. Your mail captured it well and you remembered Sanjay's teaching so well.BTW, there is an easier way to compute this, if you have JHLite.In JHora or JHoraLite, look at the % of tithi left (both give it). Subtract the number from 100. Multiply the result with 3. Divide the resulting number by 25 and round it up to get an integer. That gives the index to the sign (1=Ar, 2=Ta and so on).Example: In my chart, JHoraLite shows Krishna Chaturdasi and shows the % of tithi left as 85.99%. Now, subtracting 85.99 from 100, I get 100-85.99=14.01. Multiplying with 3, I get 14.01x3=42.03. Dividing 42.03 by 25, I get (1+some fraction). Rounding it *up*, the integer I get is 2. So the sign in my case is Taurus (2nd sign).This sign shows the purpose of one's creation. In my case, Taurus is my 9th house as well as Lagnamsaka. It shows dharma as the purpose of my creation by my parents.Sanjay spoke on this in great detail last year at the west coast seminar too. Get those CDs from Lakshmi!There is one more thing. I don't remember if this was recorded in any of the CD's or not, but Sanjay mentioned using AK and AmK instead of Sun and Moon too (I remember that the first time Sanjay mentioned it was when we were all driving to Lakshmi's house one evening for dinner, but he may have mentioned it in a subsequent class too. I am not sure). Sun and Moon show the natural (naisargika/viswa/universal) atma and mana. They are relevant as far as creation (nisarga) is concerned. Naisargika karakatwas are lorded by Brahma, while chara karakwas are ruled by Vishnu. The individual atma and mana are shown by AK and AmK. They are more relevant as far as one's activities and spiritual progress are concerned (which are a Vishnu thing and not a Brahma thing)!!Sanjay mentioned doing similar calculations based on AK and AmK too. I leave it to you to interpret this...May Jupiter's light shine on us,Narasimha> II OM NAMAH SHIVAAYA II> > Dear Dr. Dilip,> > I heard Sanjay-ji speak of this in this year's East Coast conference briefly.

Re: |Sri Varaha| Jyotirlinga & the knowledge of the purpose of life

 

 

 

Dear Dr. Dilip,

 

 

 

I heard Sanjay-ji speak of this in this year's East Coast conference briefly. This is what I remember and I hope any errors will be corrected.

 

 

 

One tithi is defined as 12 degrees of movement of the Moon with respect to the Sun. Each of the 12 degrees that make up a single tithi can be assigned to each of the 12 rasi depending on the portion of the tithi that has passed. The sign of the derived rasi will determine the jyotirlinga.

 

 

 

Sanjay-ji used his own chart as an example. The chart is attached for reference in .jhd format.

 

 

 

Moon 19 Aq 58= 319.81 degrees

 

Sun 21Cn 05= 111.07

 

 

 

moon-sun= 208.8/ 12 degrees=

 

 

 

17.408

 

 

 

So 17 tithis have passed and is currently in 18 tithi. Or in other words, 3rd day of the dark half subtracting 15. Most software will do this part..

 

 

 

17 tithis x 12 degree/tithi = 204

 

208.8- 204= 4.4 degrees into the tithi

 

Converting this to signs starting from Aries. Fours have passed and the correct sign based on janma tithi is 5 sign i.e Leo.

 

 

 

The jyotirlinga for Leo, as given in VRA is Dhusaneswar.

 

 

 

This is my understanding of how the jyotirlinga of the tithi is computed. You helped me by writing that this jyotirlinga is the giver of sacred knowledge. I'm wondering if there is also a benefit to one's health as well.

 

 

 

Best Wishes,

 

Karen

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Gurus and learned members,

 

 

 

Often we get confused about our purpose in life,- why we have come here, what was the intension of the Supreme Being to send us in this lovely and terrible world! No amount of knowledge found in the books of philosophy can give us satisfaction. A revelation, a spiritual understanding can only quench our thirst for this secrete knowledge.

 

 

 

In last year's West Coast Conference, Guruji Pt. Sanjay Rath had revealed the way to this sacred knowledge. He told that , the Jyotirlinga associated with the tithi of a person, is the giver of this knowledge. If one constantly does the " Japa" of the Mantra associated with the Jyotirlinga , this knowledge comes easily.

 

 

 

.......I confused in understanding this. Would anyone please make me understand what Guruji wanted to say i.e. how to find out the Jyotirlinga associated with the Janma Tithi.

 

 

 

Warm regards

 

Dilip Banerjee.

Dear Robert-ji

Namaste,

 

You wrote:

 

" Find the sign of the zodiac representing the Tithi in an individual chart, and then note the peculiarities of that sign in the rasi chart. See the combinations of planets with that sign, the yogas involving it, and very importantly the house that it occupies with reference to the lagna. The sign representing the Tithi thus becomes very specific to the peculiarities of the chart. Take careful note of the nature of benefics or malefics, their Chara karakatwa, as well as other factors influencing that sign. Sanjay taught that this is the most direct way of determining the meaning and purpose of incarnation as indicated by the nativity."It would be nice if you kindly give an example with any chart.

Om Gurave Namah~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Dear Jay,At 10:56 AM 10/23/03 +0200, you wrote:>Dear Narasimha, Sarajit and members,>>Indeed another fascinating topic of Jyotish but doesn't that 'simply' >leave us (again?) with only 12 groups of "purpose of this life" ?>Please enlighten me/us.>>Kindest regards>Jay WeissThe idea is that the union of the Sun and Moon represents the union of Shiva and Shakti (respectively), thus bringing the source of life and creation to 12 zodiacal signs. This becomes more specific to an individual chart when the percentage of Tithi, times 12, brings the meaning of creation to a *specific* zodiacal sign.So now to your question: Yes, if it were just a matter of 12 signs for the zodiac indicating the purpose of creation of all human beings, things would become rather simplistic. Find the sign of the zodiac representing the Tithi in an individual chart, and then note the peculiarities of that sign in the rasi chart. See the combinations of planets with that sign, the yogas involving it, and very importantly the house that it occupies with reference to the lagna. The sign representing the Tithi thus becomes very specific to the peculiarities of the chart. Take careful note of the nature of benefics or malefics, their Chara karakatwa, as well as other factors influencing that sign.

II OM NAMAH SHIVAAYA II

 

Dear Gurus and learned members,

 

Often we get confused about our purpose in life,- why we have come here, what was the intension of the Supreme Being to send us in this lovely and terrible world! No amount of knowledge found in the books of philosophy can give us satisfaction. A revelation, a spiritual understanding can only quench our thirst for this secrete knowledge.

 

In last year's West Coast Conference, Guruji Pt. Sanjay Rath had revealed the way to this sacred knowledge. He told that , the Jyotirlinga associated with the tithi of a person, is the giver of this knowledge. If one constantly does the " Japa" of the Mantra associated with the Jyotirlinga , this knowledge comes easily.

 

.......I confused in understanding this. Would anyone please make me understand what Guruji wanted to say i.e. how to find out the Jyotirlinga associated with the Janma Tithi.

Dear Dilipda,

 

Each tithi is

lorded by a planet. Probably it is the Jyotirlingam

associated with the lord of the tithi which is to be

worshipped.

17.408

 

So 17 tithis have passed and is currently in 18 tithi. Or in other words, 3rd day of the dark half subtracting 15. Most software will do this part..

 

17 tithis x 12 degree/tithi = 204

208.8- 204= 4.4 degrees into the tithi

Converting this to signs starting from Aries. Fours have passed and the correct sign based on janma tithi is 5 sign i.e Leo.

 

The jyotirlinga for Leo, as given in VRA is Dhusaneswar.

 

This is my understanding of how the jyotirlinga of the tithi is computed. You helped me by writing that this jyotirlinga is the giver of sacred knowledge. I'm wondering if there is also a benefit to one's health as well.

Om Namashshivaayai Cha Namashshivaaya

Dear Karen,

 

Namaste.

 

As the mantra I wrote at the beginning says, Moon and Sun symbolize

Shivaa (Parvati) and Shiva respectively. It is their union that

produces us all, for various purposes. Your mail captured it well

and you remembered Sanjay's teaching so well.

 

BTW, there is an easier way to compute this, if you have JHLite.

 

In JHora or JHoraLite, look at the % of tithi left (both give it).

Subtract the number from 100. Multiply the result with 3. Divide the

resulting number by 25 and round it up to get an integer. That gives

the index to the sign (1=Ar, 2=Ta and so on).

 

Example: In my chart, JHoraLite shows Krishna Chaturdasi and shows

the % of tithi left as 85.99%. Now, subtracting 85.99 from 100, I

get 100-85.99=14.01. Multiplying with 3, I get 14.01x3=42.03.

Dividing 42.03 by 25, I get (1+some fraction). Rounding it *up*, the

integer I get is 2. So the sign in my case is Taurus (2nd sign).

 

This sign shows the purpose of one's creation. In my case, Taurus is

my 9th house as well as Lagnamsaka. It shows dharma as the purpose

of my creation by my parents.

 

Sanjay spoke on this in great detail last year at the west coast

seminar too. Get those CDs from Lakshmi!

 

There is one more thing. I don't remember if this was recorded in

any of the CD's or not, but Sanjay mentioned using AK and AmK

instead of Sun and Moon too (I remember that the first time Sanjay

mentioned it was when we were all driving to Lakshmi's house one

evening for dinner, but he may have mentioned it in a subsequent

class too. I am not sure). Sun and Moon show the natural

(naisargika/viswa/universal) atma and mana. They are relevant as far

as creation (nisarga) is concerned. Naisargika karakatwas are lorded

by Brahma, while chara karakwas are ruled by Vishnu. The individual

atma and mana are shown by AK and AmK. They are more relevant as far

as one's activities and spiritual progress are concerned (which are

a Vishnu thing and not a Brahma thing)!!

 

Sanjay mentioned doing similar calculations based on AK and AmK too.

I leave it to you to interpret this...

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha

Re: |Sri Varaha| Jyotirlinga & the knowledge of the purpose of life

 

Dear Dr. Dilip,

 

I heard Sanjay-ji speak of this in this year's East Coast conference briefly. This is what I remember and I hope any errors will be corrected.

 

One tithi is defined as 12 degrees of movement of the Moon with respect to the Sun. Each of the 12 degrees that make up a single tithi can be assigned to each of the 12 rasi depending on the portion of the tithi that has passed. The sign of the derived rasi will determine the jyotirlinga.

 

Sanjay-ji used his own chart as an example. The chart is attached for reference in .jhd format.

 

Moon 19 Aq 58= 319.81 degrees

Sun 21Cn 05= 111.07

 

moon-sun= 208.8/ 12 degrees=

 

17.408

 

So 17 tithis have passed and is currently in 18 tithi. Or in other words, 3rd day of the dark half subtracting 15. Most software will do this part..

 

17 tithis x 12 degree/tithi = 204

208.8- 204= 4.4 degrees into the tithi

Converting this to signs starting from Aries. Fours have passed and the correct sign based on janma tithi is 5 sign i.e Leo.

II NAMAH SHIVAAYA II

 

Dear Narasimha ji

Namaste,

 

Any topic of jyotish gets a new dimension and a higher meaning when you explain. Thanks for explaining so nicely!

 

In my chart, JHL 5 shows krishna saptami and 13.77 % of it is left. This is subtracted from 100 , and we get 86.23. 86.23*3= 258.69. Dividing it by 25 , we get 10 and some fraction, rounding it up, we get 11. Thus the sign in my case is aquarius. The jyotirlinga is kedarnath.

 

Aquarius is my 5th house in rasi chart. What is the purpose then of my creation? Mantra sadhana ? Devotion to Lord ? Please explain.

Om Namashshivaayai Cha NamashshivaayaDear Karen,Namaste.As the mantra I wrote at the beginning says, Moon and Sun symbolize Shivaa (Parvati) and Shiva respectively. It is their union that produces us all, for various purposes. Your mail captured it well and you remembered Sanjay's teaching so well.BTW, there is an easier way to compute this, if you have JHLite.In JHora or JHoraLite, look at the % of tithi left (both give it). Subtract the number from 100. Multiply the result with 3. Divide the resulting number by 25 and round it up to get an integer. That gives the index to the sign (1=Ar, 2=Ta and so on).Example: In my chart, JHoraLite shows Krishna Chaturdasi and shows the % of tithi left as 85.99%. Now, subtracting 85.99 from 100, I get 100-85.99=14.01. Multiplying with 3, I get 14.01x3=42.03. Dividing 42.03 by 25, I get (1+some fraction). Rounding it *up*, the integer I get is 2. So the sign in my case is Taurus (2nd sign).This sign shows the purpose of one's creation. In my case, Taurus is my 9th house as well as Lagnamsaka. It shows dharma as the purpose of my creation by my parents.Sanjay spoke on this in great detail last year at the west coast seminar too. Get those CDs from Lakshmi!There is one more thing. I don't remember if this was recorded in any of the CD's or not, but Sanjay mentioned using AK and AmK instead of Sun and Moon too (I remember that the first time Sanjay mentioned it was when we were all driving to Lakshmi's house one evening for dinner, but he may have mentioned it in a subsequent class too. I am not sure). Sun and Moon show the natural (naisargika/viswa/universal) atma and mana. They are relevant as far as creation (nisarga) is concerned. Naisargika karakatwas are lorded by Brahma, while chara karakwas are ruled by Vishnu. The individual atma and mana are shown by AK and AmK.

Hi Sudharsan,

 

The whole number indicates the number of complete tithis that have passed. The remainder is the percentage of the current tithi that has passed. Therefore, always round up to the next whole number to find the current tithi, not down.

Karen

I would've commonly thought "rounding up" meant the nearest whole... or is it? :)

Dear Sudharsan,

 

You have to round upwards to the next integer. Both 1.8 and 1.1

become 2 on rounding *up*.

 

If you noted in my example, I did not even calculate the fraction. I

just noted it as 1 + some fraction, and wrote 2 straight away.

Om Namashshivaayai Cha Namashshivaaya

 

Dear Narasimha-ji,

 

Namaste.

 

Thank you for confirming my understanding and adding so much more to Sanjay-ji's explanation. I will definitely get the more of last years recordings from Ukiah so I can understand this subject better, especially the meaning of the other house positions of the where the jyotirlinga falls.

 

The mantra you gave is beautiful. Thanks for that. Can I ask you how many aksharas it is? I'm counting 12, but not sure if "yai" is counted as one akshara or 2. I counted it as 1.

 

I do have JHora, and knew there must be an easier way, but I gave the teaching as Sanjay-ji presented it in class before you arrived. It's nice to know the shorter method.

 

It is wonderful to learn that the AK- Amk differential is also important. I will think more on it's meaning and usefulness. Is it correct to say that the Sun-Moon difference, ruled by Bramha, has more to do with the life purpose in this incarnation, and the creation of this particular body; whereas, the AK- AmK differential has more to do with the creation of the Atma ( soul) itself and it's overall purpose throughout many incarnations?

 

At your service,

Karen

According to the Srimad Bagavad Gita, the soul is eternal being a part and parcel of the Lord and is not created. In that light, IMHO the AK-AmK connection might indicate the Gati (direction) in this lifetime as these are chara karakas. I would love to learn more on this one. Do you know the specific west coast lecture that Narasimha is referring to? Many Thanks.

Dear Sudharsan,

 

You are no doubt more learned in this area, and perhaps there are also different schools of though on this subject. Maybe my use of the word creation of the soul was incorrect. Is formation a better choice? My understanding is that within the heart lotus, resides the jiva atma (the human soul) and separately, the paramatma, the Divine Soul. As, Sanjay- ji said, the 2 parrots talking to eachother. Only is the special cases are two the same, and then the person is a true representation of God. As in, when the planet of 12th from the Karakamsa is the same as the AK. I think Sri Caitanya's chart was given as an example, but I don't have the details handy. Perhaps the AK-Amk difference shows the purpose of that specific jivatma's formation? Is that possible. If you assign AK- Amk as gati in this lifetime, what would you assign to Moon-Sun?

 

I also would like to understand this concept better. I don't know what specific lecture this was given in. Perhaps Lakshmi can help you with that. I was considering getting all the remaining recording that I haven't gotten so far.

 

With best wishes,

Karen

Dear Karen and Narasimha,

 

Thanks a lot for sharing this knowledge of finding the Jyotirlingam

based on the Tithi. You have given a nice formula. However simply put it

is the percent of tithi elapsed mapped in the zodiac. So in Narasimha's

case it is 14.01% of 12 which comes to 2nd sign or Taurus.

 

The other way to find out is to find the reminder when the arc covered

by Moon relative to Sun is divided by 12. For illustration let's take

Karen's case. The arc covered by Moon wrt Sun is 209 deg (208.8 rounded

up). Expunging multiples of 12 we get the reminder as 5, which happen to

be Leo.

 

Now for the AK and AmK, I think the following method can be used. Find

how far Amk has moved from Ak. Expunge multiples of 12 from the arc

between Sun and Moon. Take the reminder and that shall show the

Jyotirlingam. If someone got the percentage of tithi covered, just

multiply with 12 to get the Jyotirlingam.

 

Best Wishes

Sarajit

|Sri Varaha| Re: Jyotirlinga & the knowledge of the purpose of

Om Namashshivaayai Cha Namashshivaaya

Dear Karen,

 

Namaste.

 

As the mantra I wrote at the beginning says, Moon and Sun symbolize

Shivaa (Parvati) and Shiva respectively. It is their union that

produces us all, for various purposes. Your mail captured it well

and you remembered Sanjay's teaching so well.

 

BTW, there is an easier way to compute this, if you have JHLite.

 

In JHora or JHoraLite, look at the % of tithi left (both give it).

Subtract the number from 100. Multiply the result with 3. Divide the

resulting number by 25 and round it up to get an integer. That gives

the index to the sign (1=Ar, 2=Ta and so on).

 

Example: In my chart, JHoraLite shows Krishna Chaturdasi and shows

the % of tithi left as 85.99%. Now, subtracting 85.99 from 100, I

get 100-85.99=14.01. Multiplying with 3, I get 14.01x3=42.03.

Dividing 42.03 by 25, I get (1+some fraction). Rounding it *up*, the

integer I get is 2. So the sign in my case is Taurus (2nd sign).

 

This sign shows the purpose of one's creation. In my case, Taurus is

my 9th house as well as Lagnamsaka. It shows dharma as the purpose

of my creation by my parents.

 

Sanjay spoke on this in great detail last year at the west coast

seminar too. Get those CDs from Lakshmi!

 

There is one more thing. I don't remember if this was recorded in

any of the CD's or not, but Sanjay mentioned using AK and AmK

instead of Sun and Moon too (I remember that the first time Sanjay

mentioned it was when we were all driving to Lakshmi's house one

evening for dinner, but he may have mentioned it in a subsequent

class too. I am not sure). Sun and Moon show the natural

(naisargika/viswa/universal) atma and mana. They are relevant as far

as creation (nisarga) is concerned. Naisargika karakatwas are lorded

by Brahma, while chara karakwas are ruled by Vishnu. The individual

atma and mana are shown by AK and AmK. They are more relevant as far

as one's activities and spiritual progress are concerned (which are

a Vishnu thing and not a Brahma thing)!!

 

Sanjay mentioned doing similar calculations based on AK and AmK too.

I leave it to you to interpret this...

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha

Re:

Dear Dr. Dilip,

 

 

 

 

 

I heard

Sanjay-ji speak of this in this year's East Coast conference briefly.

This is what I remember and I hope any errors will be corrected.

 

 

 

 

 

One

tithi is defined as 12 degrees of movement of the Moon with respect to the

Sun. Each of the 12 degrees that make up a single tithi can be

assigned to each of the 12 rasi depending on the portion of the tithi that has

passed. The sign of the derived rasi will determine the jyotirlinga.

 

 

 

 

 

Sanjay-ji

used his own chart as an example. The chart is attached for

reference in .jhd format.

 

 

 

 

 

Moon

19 Aq 58= 319.81 degrees

 

 

Sun

21Cn 05= 111.07

 

 

 

 

 

moon-sun=

208.8/ 12 degrees=

 

 

 

 

 

17.408

 

 

 

 

 

 

So 17

tithis have passed and is currently in 18 tithi. Or in other words,

3rd day of the dark half subtracting 15. Most software will do this

part..

 

 

 

 

 

17

tithis x 12 degree/tithi = 204

 

 

208.8-

204= 4.4 degrees into the tithi

 

 

Converting

this to signs starting from Aries. Fours have passed and the correct sign

based on janma tithi is 5 sign i.e Leo.

 

 

 

 

 

The

jyotirlinga for Leo, as given in VRA is Dhusaneswar.

 

 

 

 

 

This is

my understanding of how the jyotirlinga of the tithi is computed. You

helped me by writing that this jyotirlinga is the giver of

sacred knowledge. I'm wondering if there is also a benefit to one's

health as well.

 

 

 

 

 

Best

Wishes,

 

 

Karen

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Dear Gurus and learned members,

 

 

 

 

 

Often we get confused about our purpose in life,- why we

have come here, what was the intension of the Supreme Being to send us in this

lovely and terrible world! No amount of knowledge found in the books of

philosophy can give us satisfaction. A revelation, a spiritual understanding

can only quench our thirst for this secrete knowledge.

 

 

 

 

 

In last year's West Coast Conference, Guruji Pt. Sanjay Rath had

revealed the way to this sacred knowledge. He told that , the Jyotirlinga

associated with the tithi of a person, is the giver of this knowledge. If one

constantly does the " Japa " of the Mantra associated with

the Jyotirlinga , this knowledge comes easily.

 

 

 

 

 

.......I confused in understanding this. Would anyone please make

Jyotirlinga associated with the Janma Tithi.

The percentage of Tithi

already spent is 86.23% according to your calculation. Just find what is 86.23%

of 12 and you have 10.34 as the reminder. Round up and you have 11 as the

Jyotirlingam indicating sign. This is kedarnath as

you said and represent 5th house. The mission is knowledge and

mantra. What else? See what else is indicated by placement of the planets there

and the aspects!

Dear

Narasimha ji

 

 

Namaste,

 

 

 

 

 

Any

topic of jyotish gets a new dimension and a higher meaning when you

explain. Thanks for explaining so nicely!

 

 

 

 

 

In

my chart, JHL 5 shows krishna saptami and 13.77 % of it is left. This is

subtracted from 100 , and we get 86.23. 86.23*3= 258.69. Dividing it by

25 , we get 10 and some fraction, rounding it up, we get 11. Thus the sign in

my case is aquarius. The jyotirlinga is kedarnath.

 

 

 

 

 

Aquarius

is my 5th house in rasi chart. What is the purpose then of my creation? Mantra

sadhana ? Devotion to Lord ? Please explain.

 

 

 

 

 

Warm

regards

 

 

Dilip

Banerjee.

Om Namashshivaayai Cha Namashshivaaya

Dear Karen,

 

Namaste.

 

As the mantra I wrote at the beginning says, Moon

and Sun symbolize

Shivaa (Parvati) and Shiva respectively. It is

their union that

produces us all, for various purposes. Your mail

captured it well

and you remembered Sanjay's teaching so well.

 

BTW, there is an easier way to compute this, if

you have JHLite.

 

In JHora or JHoraLite, look at the % of tithi left

(both give it).

Subtract the number from 100. Multiply the result

with 3. Divide the

resulting number by 25 and round it up to get an

integer. That gives

the index to the sign (1=Ar, 2=Ta and so on).

 

Example: In my chart, JHoraLite shows Krishna

Chaturdasi and shows

the % of tithi left as 85.99%. Now, subtracting

85.99 from 100, I

get 100-85.99=14.01. Multiplying with 3, I get

14.01x3=42.03.

Dividing 42.03 by 25, I get (1+some fraction).

Rounding it *up*, the

integer I get is 2. So the sign in my case is

Taurus (2nd sign).

 

This sign shows the purpose of one's creation. In

my case, Taurus is

my 9th house as well as Lagnamsaka. It shows

dharma as the purpose

of my creation by my parents.

 

Sanjay spoke on this in great detail last year at

the west coast

seminar too. Get those CDs from Lakshmi!

 

There is one more thing. I don't remember if this

was recorded in

any of the CD's or not, but Sanjay mentioned using

AK and AmK

instead of Sun and Moon too (I remember that the

first time Sanjay

mentioned it was when we were all driving to

Lakshmi's house one

evening for dinner, but he may have mentioned it

in a subsequent

class too. I am not sure). Sun and Moon show the

natural

(naisargika/viswa/universal) atma and mana. They

are relevant as far

as creation (nisarga) is concerned. Naisargika

karakatwas are lorded

by Brahma, while chara karakwas are ruled by

Vishnu. The individual

atma and mana are shown by AK and AmK. They are

more relevant as far

as one's activities and spiritual progress are

concerned (which are

a Vishnu thing and not a Brahma thing)!!

 

Sanjay mentioned doing similar calculations based

on AK and AmK too.

I leave it to you to interpret this...

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha

Dear Sarajitji,

 

I would like to know my purpose of life too. My tithi left is 2.78%, hence spent is 97.22%. As per this my Jyotirlingam will be indicated by 12th sign which is Pisces! I am a Leo lagna and Pisces is my 8th house. What would be the purpose of my life?

 

One of the earlier mails indicated Triyambekshwara as my Jyotirlinga that I should pray. Is that right?

 

Thank you for your help and kind regards

Dear Narasimha, Sarajit and members,

 

Indeed another fascinating topic of Jyotish but doesn't that 'simply' leave us (again?) with only 12 groups of "purpose of this life" ?

Please enlighten me/us.

Dear Narasimha,

 

Thank you, and Karen, for writing on Tithis and Jyotirlinga. I have a

question for you as follows:

 

At 04:37 AM 10/22/03 +0000, you wrote:

 

>In JHora or JHoraLite, look at the % of tithi left (both give it).

I need a little spoon-feeding here! If the Tithi basically represents a

12 degree arc for every 1 degree motion of the Sun, then naturally the

percentage of Tithi *passed* when multiplied by 12 and added to 1 (for

Aries), would give the sign of the zodiac representing the Tithi. So,

subtracting the percentage of Tithi *Left* (as per JHora), from 100, we get

the percentage of Tithi *expired*. Now, here's where I have a

problem: why not just multiply this percentage by 12, and add the result

to 1 for Aries? Why multiply by 3, and divide by 25?

 

Thanks in advance for your help..

 

Best regards,

Robert

Dear Jay,

The idea is that the union of the Sun and Moon represents the union of

Shiva and Shakti (respectively), thus bringing the source of life and

creation to 12 zodiacal signs. This becomes more specific to an individual

chart when the percentage of Tithi, times 12, brings the meaning of

creation to a *specific* zodiacal sign.

 

So now to your question: Yes, if it were just a matter of 12 signs for the

zodiac indicating the purpose of creation of all human beings, things would

become rather simplistic. Find the sign of the zodiac representing the

Tithi in an individual chart, and then note the peculiarities of that sign

in the rasi chart. See the combinations of planets with that sign, the

yogas involving it, and very importantly the house that it occupies with

reference to the lagna. The sign representing the Tithi thus becomes very

specific to the peculiarities of the chart. Take careful note of the

nature of benefics or malefics, their Chara karakatwa, as well as other

factors influencing that sign. Sanjay taught that this is the most direct

way of determining the meaning and purpose of incarnation as indicated by

the nativity.

 

Hope that helps.....

 

Best wishes,

Robert

Well, I AM multiplying it with 12. But, we need to first divide the

percentage by 100 to convert it to a fraction. Note that 12/100 is

3/25.

 

If one knows multiples of 8.33 well, one need not do all this. One

can convert the percentage of tithi left directly to the sign. For

example, suppose 91% of the tithi is left. That is the 2nd sign

(because one full 8.33 and partial 8.33 are over). The rasi changes

at 0%, 8.33%, 16.66%, 25%, 33.33% and so on.

 

Anyway, I quickly hacked it in to JHora. If there is interest, I

could just leave it in JHora code, so that people get it in the next

version. While I was at it, I just added the sphuta (not just rasi).

The exact sphuta can be computed based on bhukta tithi and it can be

shown in all divisional charts!

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha

Dear Dilip ji,

 

You can take many examples.

 

(1) Take Srila Prabhupada. His " % tithi left " as per

JHora is 60.11. We get 39.89% by subtracting from 100.

Times 3 is about 120. Divided by 23, it gives 4+fraction.

So his " bhukta tithi rasi " is in Leo (5th sign).

 

Leo also happens to be the 9th house in his chart and

lagna lord Jupiter, 9th lord Sun and Ketu occupy it!

Clearly, the reason for his creation was establishment of

sanatana dharma and construction temples.

 

(2) Take Sanjay ji. His " bhukta tithi rasi " is in Leo. It

contains Mercury. One purpose for his creation was

writing and spreading scholarship. Lord of Leo, Sun, is

in 5th house with 8th lord, showing occult knowledge. So

spreading occult knowledge is his purpose.

 

(3) My " bhukta tithi rasi " is in Ta, in the 9th house. It

is empty and its lord Venus joins 10th lord giving DKYoga.

Thus, upholding dharma and performing dharmik karma is my

purpose in life.

 

(4) Swami Chandrasekhara Saraswati, the greatest spiritual

leader of the last century, had " bhukta tithi rasi " in Sc.

Its lord Ketu takes part in a tapaswi yoga on Vi-Pi axis,

involving AK (Saturn) and AmK (Venus). Sc contains neecha

Moon in AL, aspected by Saturn. Thus, his purpose in life

was to renounce and do tapasya (as tapaswi yoga involves

AK, this tapasya is of the highest order).

 

(5) Pope John Paul II has " bhukta tithi rasi " in Vi, the

12th house containing AK. The 12th is the house of giving

and liberation. It is also the house of tapasya. Its lord

Mercury is again associated with Tapaswi yoga (he's with

Venus and Ketu, while Saturn aspects them from a trine).

Thus, his purpose in life too was to do tapasya and be

liberated.

 

[Warning: What follows is my own research.]

 

In fact, I realized that what we find here is not just a

rasi, but a point. We can map the duration of tithi to

the zodiac and find the exact point and find its position

in all divisional charts. Even though one's creation takes

place in the physical plane by the coming together of

Shiva (father) and Shakti (mother), why should one's

purpose of creation be defined only in the physical plane?

Why can't it be defined in other vargas?

 

For example, take Swami Vivekananda and Sanjay ji. Both

have the bhukta tithi rasi in different houses and with

different planets. But, if you see dasamsa, you'll see a

similarity. " Bhukta tithi sphuta " is in the 3rd house in

dasamsa for both. Both were created to make contribution

to the society with their writings!

 

Legendary astrologer and author Prof. B.V. Raman and

serial killer Jeffrey Dahmer both have bhukta tithi rasi

in the 3rd house in rasi chart. However, the former has

bhukta tithi sphuta in the 10th house in navamsa and in

the 5th house in dasamsa (with 3rd lord Sun in it). The

latter had it in 12th house in navams and in 8th house

in dasamsa. Accordingly, the contribution expected from

them in society was different!

 

I suggest to interested researchers that the exact

longitude of " bhukta tithi sphuta " can be worked out and

its placement in various divisions can be examined to

clearly understand the purpose of one's creation.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
