Notes on BPHS class on Q&A (24th July 2010)

Resource | Prepared by Prithwiraj Bose
On 27 or 28 Nakṣatras

• Ādhāna Nakṣatra (19th Nakṣatra)- From this nakṣatra we come to know everything about one’s father (creator) & also about one’s Guru who gives Dvi-janma to his student by giving Dīkṣa
• It gives us a clear picture on one’s relation with father & guru.
• This Nakṣatra falls in the 9th house of zodiac, the house of father, guru & dharma.
• Here, 27th scheme is more important than 28th as 27th nakṣatra scheme will represent the material mapping & physical things in bhū loka level.

Trikoṇa (Tri-bhāgi) means Triangle with three corners with each corner contains 9 Nakṣatras. Trikoṇa sign contains agni tattva (Mars) in itself & represents bhū loka whose Devatā is Agni, who is the devatā (illuminator) of bhū loka. In 27th Nakṣatra scheme –

• From Meṣa to Karka, nine nakṣatra represent bhū loka.
• From siṁha to Vrischika – Bhuvaloka
• From Dhanu to Meena – Swarga loka.

28th Nakṣatra scheme

• It deals with the spiritual level, its shape is square represented by Pṛthvi tattva(Mercury). Ādhāna tārā coming from 28 Nakṣatras will show the spiritual & other knowledge that one gets from his /her guru. Four corners of the square will represent four lokas, Mahar, Jana, Tapar & Satya.
• 28th Nakṣatra scheme is mainly used in Sarvatobhadra e.g. Tithi etc. Sun’s transit over Sarvatobhadra is its real transit.
• In 28th Nakṣatra scheme 7 planets, from Sun to Saturn is used no place for nodes Ra/Ke as they cause rebirth.

Colors of Guna

• It represents the colors of the sky at the different junctures of time in a whole day.
• Sattva (Day)- White color (Tāntrika), manifestation of the body.
• Rajas (Junction between day & night)- Red/yellow color.
• Tamas (Night)- Black & indicates ignorance.
• Any of the 3 guṇa can be controlled & rectified by worshiping the deities made up of colors represented by 3 guṇa

Explanations: Satwa guna is represented by Narayana who is of black color which is important control satwa guna & has the power of sustenance.

Rajas guna is the power to create & adi shakti who is yellow color has the power of creation. More yellow is the color of the shakti, more power of creation.

Tamas guna is represented by lord Shiva whose color is white & which shines like Moon at night (tamas) which removes ignorance.

In this manner Shiva lingas of different colors & types are used for different purposes.

Tithi & Tattva (Panchanga) : Tithi’s karaka is Moon as it contains Jala tattva & agni tattva is the overall lord in the Bhu loka(Mars).

• Nanda(Agni) tithi is good to initiate anything & Jaya(Aakash) is good for bringing & holding people together.
• Pūrṇa tithi is good for spirituality due to vāyu
• Bhadra (Pṛthvi) & Riktā (Jala) tithī are inauspicious to start anything good as its enemy to agni

Tithi: (a) 1st to 5th – Sṛṣṭi = Creation; (b) 6th to 10th – Sthiti = Preservation; (c) 11th to 15th – Saṁhāra = Dissolution

20. Gandanta: 15th tithi is called Gandanta. Purnima is said to be as ‘Paksha Gandanta’ & Amavasya is said to be ‘Masa Gandanta’. Note the difference and judge which is worse.

21. Sun in Makara: Its ‘Bhaga’ Aditya, it has the ability of giving away of fortune. It is the form of old man without tooth. If this form aditya is present in one’s chart then, loss of health due to sexuality. Shiva should be worshiped in this case as he doesn’t like bhaga aditya.

22. Pusha Aditya: When Sun in 7th house or Tula in any chart. This form of aditya always wants bring radical changes & reforms & also a perfectionist.

23. Guna & Creation: Neela Shakti is the mother of creation also known as Mahamayee.

Here before creation Vasudeva manifests with Bhu(Rajas) & Shri Sakti(Satwa). But for creation Vasudeva must manifest with the Neela Shakti(Tamas) along with Bhu(Rajas) & Shree (Satwa)Shakti.

24. Abhijit Nakṣatra– 1/4th size of normal Nakṣatra. It is of 4 deg 13 min 20 sec. In 28th Nakṣatra scheme in Chaturasitisama Dasha, this Nakṣatra has been also allotted 12yrs. Always dasha yrs. belongs to planet not Nakṣatra.

25. Rashi (Deva Dosha): This dosha occurs with the people who are having Mithuna, Kanya, Tula, Dhanu, Makar, Kumbha & Meena lagna. These rashis do not clearly show complete animals. All this signs are not complete with in itself & needing any companion or object to give completeness to their identity. People with these rashis as lagna will suffer as they will try to imbibe the negative attributes of the Adi Devta of the planets causing the dosha. The adi devtas of these planets will try to control them with their negative energy. This causes major problems to any person when the dosha causing planet has any connection with lagna lord or even trines to lagna.

e.g; For Meena lagna if Sun has any connection with lagna lord Jupiter & Sun also falls in the trines to lagna, then father will surely make one suffer till father is alive (or connected).
