Rajarshi Nandy Astrology Special: Zodiac Signs, Planets, Destiny & More | The Ranveer Show 334 - The Ranveer Show

Rajarshi Nandy x Ranveer Allahbadia Begins With Mars we have this idea that it is very commonly called as mangalic. Mangalic is basically certain combinations of Mars are present in the horoscope whether they are in this 7008 thousand couple of others are there. So that causes a disturbance in the married life. Previously it is to be believed that it will Causeway death to the spouse. Today mostly devotes or separation, but there are rituals and poojas that can be done to pacify that or there are combinations. For example, normally what they do is that there's a horoscope matching that can be done whether that other individual also has similar mangali dosha, so it kind of cancels it out. So whenever somebody tells me that Geeta says this first questionnaires tell me the slow come because the Geeta is the most popular book. Also is the Most abused book. Really, people have their own understanding fed into the Geeta Geeta. Every bowler movie will finally to Ekdin Pradachalaga Geeta. Many one book will have for everything. Geeta is wonderful text, but Geeta is not at all an easy text. People have made it easy because they have owned their own understandings. Also, they're fed into most people don't know Sanskrit. They read commentaries, commentaries, Kavi commentaries, and then they add up things and pick up 1-2 slow cast from here and there and make up an idea. Geeta maybe it's saying that Geeta says a lot of things about a lot of things. The Gregorian Calendar By the way, Geeta is a progression from chapter one to chapter 18. It is a progression. Speaker 2 This episode is a deep dive into the basics and slightly intermediate aspects of Vedic astrology. If you're someone who doesn't know anything about even astrology in general, I think this episode is a fantastic theoretical starting point. Promise you this one's heavy. It'll teach you a lot about astrology. It'll Polish up your skills if you know the basics. And it's with a TRS All Star rajashinandi, so returns on TRS. Make sure you take notes for this one. It's one of the ultimate 10 ones on Vedic astrology on the Indian Internet. Enjoy yourselves guys and keep learning with Rajashinandi and TRS. The Emperor of Tantra is back. Rajashi Nandis, welcome back. We're not going to be talking only about Tantra in this one. We're doing an Astrology 101, OK? And I had a lot of chances to do. ABC's about astrology, the advanced explanation of it with lots of people over the years. I was waiting for the right person and I didn't even know that you knew about astrology until we had a little phone call where you helped me out a bit. And we won't talk a lot about my personal chart and all that, but this particular conversation is mainly so that people just understand astrology in its most classical form. Speaker 1 Fundamentals. Speaker 2 Yeah, ABC's of it, right. And then maybe we'll build upon it. I don't know whether it'll be a one hour conversation or a three hour conversation. So let's just start talking. Where would you like to begin? I do have a slightly Western question to begin with, which is that when someone's born on a particular date of the year, so you're born on June 1st. I'm technically a Gemini according to the Gregorian explanation of it. How did the Gregorian calendar come up? How did these Gemini, Libra, Pisces, and all these signs come up there? Did they take it from the East? Did it spread out of the East? Has it developed parallelly? Do they follow the same kind of principles that we do? Or is it something completely different? Because whatever research I've ended up doing, I feel like there are some parallels, but it's like a slightly less detailed system of what we have in the East. Sorry if I confused you at the top. Speaker 1 No it's not confusing but it's this covers a lot of ground your question. And before I start, Jai magamakha Jai bharbhava okay. So I believe that astrology or what we call as Jyotisha Jyotisha has been an integral part of Hindu Dharma. Okay to the extent that it is believed that in order to have expertise in Vedas there has to be certain Vedanga which is limbs of the Vedas a person must know. And of these limbs various things are there. Sanskrit and ritualism and a couple of other things not going into that, but one of the limbs is considered as Jyotisha. Jyotisha is considered as the eye of the Vedas. It gives you an ability to see beyond the normal now development of Jyotish when it comes to the West. I think it's possible that two aspects are there. Now I can't be 100% sure of this because perhaps historian will be able to tell you better, but there has been a parallel developments of astrology both in ancient, you know, West and as well as India. Plus it is also possible that some parts of the astrological techniques that was there might have migrated from West to India. But once it came here it not only got modified, it got lets say expanded to a level which was not there originally. Some of the techniques now this is what scholars believe. I persuade have no opinion either way. It doesnt matter whether it fully organically developed here or it developed, but there was some input from the West. Also, I think some of the astrologers do mention texts with this title of Yavana and all that. Yavana means the Greek texts and all that. So there could have been some cultural exchanges. Now coming to the first point is that there is however a strong difference between the western astrology. For the sake of this conversation I'll use the word western astrology to denote all that is in the West, while we have Jyotisha here. One of the primary differences that so these the Zodiac belt is an imaginary belt. By the way, OK looking at the the stars in the Nakshatras. So there are certain animal figures and all that that have been created and this was observed by people who are sort of sky watchers. It was independently observed in India, it was independently observed in the West, etc. So, but remember that it's an imaginary belt. So you are assuming that this is a belt like this okay. So, and it is divided into what we call the in our term, the rashes or the houses, 12 rashes are there, 12 houses are there. Speaker 2 As in 12 signs. Speaker 1 In the West 12 signs. Speaker 2 And forces 12 rashes rashes. Speaker 1 Key difference is that our the Zodiac belt there is a there is OK before that also let me just say that at an ancient time in India astrology was not divorced from mathematics. So if you if you did not know there is a part called felita felita means it is predictive and there is a part called ganith. Ganith means mathematics. So if you did not know the mathematics, you could not become an astrologer. It's not possible today you have softwares and this and that to make things. But those days you need to know how will you calculate the position, tentative position of the planets. Speaker 2 There's a saying I learned on the show. They say that mathematics is the language of the universe, which is so true. Speaker 1 Every subject is the language of the universe. If you go to that depth, not just mathematics. If you develop the eyes, you will enjoy the orchestra very well. OK, just general statement. Speaker 2 Sure. Speaker 1 No, I I understand what you're saying. So coming back to the what we were discussing, so these, so the calculation part. So as I mentioned, there's a mathematics that is involved there, OK. And there's a mathematics involved in the West also. So people who were sort of astronomers, obviously in astronomy there is mathematical ability that is required. Not everybody can do that. So only more or less those people or those who had a scientific mindset, by the way, they were the people interested in things like astrology. OK, So for example, I think, if I'm not mistaken, even Newton had, while he was a great scientist, he also had many of these beliefs and he had written about these things. OK, so it was, it was something that was not diverse from each other. It was parallel to each other. If you were not good with looking at the skies and figuring out the you know, the constellations and things like that, the mathematics, you could not do this. Now having said that, so there is a calculation based on which the Zodiac is defined. OK, some mathematical calculation is there in inherently here there is something known as precision of equinoxes. I am not going into the details of it. OK, this is from astronomy. Anybody interested? Can you know find out more of this? But so the Zodiac is an imaginary belt. Now we from the the Hindu philosophers, they saw the Zodiac in the background of the stars, the Nakshatras. The stars are very far off. So stars are outside of the our Galaxy. They are very far off. OK, so on the background of the stars they defined the Zodiac belt, whereas the West did not do it this way. They defined the Zodiac belt using some other parameters. OK, now this caused over periods of over long periods of time, this caused the difference in the tilt of the Zodiacs. To the degree this may, this may all just, you know, bear with me for some time because this may all be a little yeah, but sounds technical, but it's not actually that difficult. So basically what happens is effectively the Western Zodiac and the Jyotisha Zodiac has about I think 2324 degrees difference in the in the tilt which results in what. So if you are born in so when you are doing, when you say a general statement that I am a Gemini or a Taurus or whatever it is. So first of all, the very average statement is that's taken as the position of the sun, OK, In the western system, the Sun is in Gemini, Sun is in Taurus. So you are saying that you are in Taurus. But if you use the Hindu calculation, you might find that the position is different. Instead of Taurus, it may be in areas. Speaker 2 I will have to just pause you here and make it slightly simpler. I've got what you're trying to say. When you're born, there's a map of the sky above you right now for the map of the Earth. You draw out the land, you draw out the mountains, you draw out the oceans. Easter Breakdown of Astrology That's how you know where you are, correct? Speaker 1 In order to draw out the sky, you can only do that through the positions of the sun, of planets in your solar system, and of the stars sort. Speaker 2 Of now the stars. Can be divided the entire map of the sky above. Speaker 1 You can be divided into 12 parts, 12 parts, yes. Speaker 2 And depending on where the sun is, where Mars is, where Venus is, that has certain astrological effects. Now you're saying the difference between the Western and the Eastern way of looking at the same subject is that? Speaker 1 We have a 23 degree difference in the map, so the map has just slightly moved, yeah. Speaker 2 23 degrees away. Speaker 1 So, and this is we in Hindu system, we call the Ayamsha. That's a term that's used Ayamsha. Basically this 23 degree difference causes a difference in the position of the planets when you are trying to make a chart. OK, difference number one difference #2 is that the West uses certain different techniques, at least the older astrological writings a little bit that I've gone through. I'm not extremely proficient in the Western system. It uses a different set of techniques whereas the Hindus use a different set of techniques. We have wide variety of techniques because Jyotish has been developed over centuries where some of the finest minds, Parasha, Varahamihira, etc. They're fantastic people, excellent high IQ, terrific individuals. OK, so as I said they were also capable and knowledgeable in multiple other fields in mathematics and things like that, so it went in parallel. So obviously somebody is good in mathematics has to be highly intelligent. Speaker 2 There are international listeners, there are people who may not be open to the eastern way of looking at things. But for the sake of understanding the subject much more in detail, I think at this point we should head straight into the Eastern breakdown of astrology. Correct? And I feel that whether or not you believe in the Eastern school of thought or the Western school of thought, by the end of this conversation you'll have learned a lot and you'll be able to apply it in whatever format of astrology you're following. I'm also learning about these in this much detail for the first time. OK, but before I let you continue again, I'm going to give some basics which I picked up from the show. And please correct me wherever you think I'm wrong. You can interrupt. First rule is that when a baby is born, they note down the time, they note down the place and obviously the date, right. And that's the map of the sky that you draw out on your astrological chart, correct? That's the basic. Then the other logic here is that each of these planets, the sun, each of these celestial bodies like the sun, the moon and the planets and even the combinations have a certain kind of effect. On the astrological chart, correct. BK Shivani on this show said that astrological charts are great representations of a soul's journey till the point they took this birth in terms of all the karmas from the previous births. Land up as this astrological chart and it's a likely scenario of what can happen in your life but as you move forward in this lifetime. Through your actions, through your karmas, through your sad, your meditations and disciplines, Maybe you can even shift your astrological charts and you can make it better for yourself. Or if you do evil things, you can make it worse for yourself. So it's just the mapping of the soul journey till that point. Now I also know that. It's difficult to change your astrological chart for the average everyday person who's going to office, coming back home, having a family, having things to do. So if you know about your own astrological chart, it just makes living slightly more convenient. Or you can anticipate that certain difficult phases are coming. And if you have a spiritual journey, if you're into Tantra, you'll be able to combine your. Practices with the best outcomes for your future. Have I missed out any point here from the basics? Speaker 1 No. Most of it is correct, but the few points I look at it differently, so I'll explain them more or less what you told is right. So basically having covered the part about the difference and also there are just one more line, the western system uses certain different techniques than we do. Some of those have also been integrated into certain aspects of astrology in India, but that's more deeper. We'll go later into that if the conversation goes there, but coming back to. Speaker 2 It will. Speaker 1 Coming back to the topic. So basically, yeah, at the moment when it is born, when somebody, somebody is born for that matter, not just an individual by the way, it could also be an event. So there are different branches of astrology in Hindu system. So one that is the jatakam which is for the individual horoscope. Then there is something known as mohurtha. Mohurtha means at this specific moment, what are the planetary combinations there. And from there you can make certain predictions. Or for example, suppose a particular you're starting a company okay the moment the company is getting registered or you are entering into a new house the moment you're entering into the new house etc. The conditions at that moment can tell you what is likely to happen in the future okay. So thats like a birth of a thing. Birth need not be an animate, it can be an animate object. Also looking at the time when an individual is taking oath, you can predict that how his that you know party or that individual in oath. In terms of say even a political party or somebody in some other capacity, you can say that how things are going to go okay. So not going into more details on this, but this is the broad outlook of things. And there is another aspect of Jyotisha which is a bit rare, which is which is like a destiny of land masses. Okay, this is something I have not explored too much, but it is also there which means that So what is the destiny of this say Southeast Asia or certain parts of the world. So that has its own rules also. But that is the aspect of Jyotish that is least explored more or less. The most common is individual horoscopes and of course Mohurthas Okay. Now when a person is born, there's date, time, place, you know these things. From this you can get a map of these guys. Map means basically after the rashes there are 12 rashes I mentioned. The next most important thing is the 9 Grahers. OK12 houses, 12 signs, 12 signs, 12 rashes. The signs of the rashes, what you call which is like Aries, Taurus, Gemini, cancer and all the same thing, OK? Speaker 2 On an Indian astrological chart, do the 12 different houses represent different aspects of your life? Like I have heard that the 1st house represents your personality, 2nd house represents your marriage. Speaker 1 Yes, yes of course that is the whole basis in which you using which you predict. OK, but only rashes are not enough. Next comes the gras. 9 gras are there in our Gras. So it is important here because to mention this. So then the word graher means it comes from the root word in Sanskrit, which means to grasp something that grasps your mind and governs you basically. So are these actually the physical planets? Yes and no. Both are important to understand while we take the position of the physical planets. But let us for the sake of discussion assume that a grower is like the astral projection of one of the physical planets. Wow yeah that is why you are able to also manipulate the growers a bit. That comes in the last part of Jyotish. And by the way not just in the eastern western occult. Also they have ways of invoking planets. OK, So what exactly is it that is invoking if your worship if you're doing certain certain Sadhanas for Jupiter, for example, Briasspati which is Jupiter. Suppose OK, is it the physical planet? Is it changing nothing. But there is everything has its own. Let us just take and you know a projection of itself. That projection, which contains the essence that the two of the can interact with you and cause certain changes one way or the other depending on how you are approaching it. Speaker 2 For example Saturn is shiny. Is the God spoken about in the Puranas? Speaker 1 No no it's not like that. So graha. So God means not in the God. So these are grahas. Is the Devta spoken about in the Devdas are higher than this? Devdas devta means if you say Shiva or Ganpati, they're much higher than this. OK, OK. OK. Speaker 2 This is just personification of the planets. Speaker 1 Personification. Correct word, personification of the planets. Let's look at it that way. Speaker 2 OK. And it has certain effects. Speaker 1 It can have effects if you approach it in a certain manner. Positive and negative both. It is a accumulation of right as you said the the birth chart gives you an accumulation of what karma's you might have done till that point of time. OK, now what happens as I was mentioning in the other podcast. Is that 99% of the people? I think, I dont know whether I mentioned it. So 99% of the people lead their life just to the reaction to actions they have performed. So when I get a question from somebody that what is the purpose of my life? Im afraid to say out of 100 people, 99 of no purpose. But you are just reacting to things that have happened, thats all. OK? Purpose and all that comes in later. For very few people, they have it. Most are just what purpose you use. 3 types of Karma You finish school, you go into college, then you work, then you get married, then you have kids, and then you grow older, then you die. So that's all concept, purpose. It's just reaction. Sometimes you're happy, sometimes you're sad. Is that and all that. So what happens? What is what I mean by that is that because of the momentum of actions you have done, more or less your destiny is in broad lines. It is set. Which means that if you look at a horoscope at the moment of birth and it is indicating suppose that this person will have a bad marriage, OK, there are almost 99 to 100% chance that he will go through bad relationships or marriage in the context of the times. OK, say context of the times means suppose the say 500 years ago somebody seeing a chart and saying that your spouse is going to die. OK, 500 years ago we did not have divorces and all that as much. So today spouse will not die but divorce something like that. OK, so more or less that's what I mean is that because the accumulated momentum of Karmas are such that the chart kind of 80 to 90% will sort of give you a broad indication of where it is going and it will happen that way. How the intensity may differ, but the basic lines are kind of set because at any given point a person is not alone or he's not outside of time. There's a past and there's a future. The pressure from the past and the pull from the future is what makes you at this moment in time. And only Carl Bhairav can take you out of. Speaker 2 It okay before we go into a very deep conversation about Carl Behrov and how date is also part of this. Again have to boil it down to the ABC0. Do you want to talk about the 12 houses right now or do you want to talk about the planets and all the effects? Speaker 1 Yeah, sure. But before that, there's one more small aspect that needs to be mentioned. So there are three types of Karmas, more or less OK for easy understanding, and it plays a part in the Jyotisha. And it's relevant to the question of how your birth chart affects you. OK, so first is there's one part of the karma that is Jira. JIRA means fixed. OK. Certain combinations can indicate in certain individuals. It may not be in everybody that some karma is fixed. Fixed karma means you just have to bear with it. You can't do anything about it. It cannot be changed. You will have to face it. Nobody in the world can change it. Then there is some part of the karmas which are drer or drer, which means they are fixed and unfixed, which means basically fundamentally it translates to this that if you do some kind of upaya, pariharam, Pariharam means some specific mantras or some pooja etcetera, depending on the horoscope. There is a chance that part of it will be negated and maybe certain, say intensity was coming at 10, It comes down to three or two or something, it's more bearable. OK. And then the third is the adria, which is not fixed, not fixed. Karmas are just showing a tendency. They're very easy to change. You don't need to chant or do any ritual. All you need is a strong mind. You just want the willpower. Using a willpower you can change it. So these are three types of karmas that will reflect in a horoscope. Speaker 2 I've been advised not to understand the laws of Karmas that deeply. Speaker 1 OK. Speaker 2 By Gaurang Das Prabhu. He was on the show last week and when I kept deep diving into questions related to karma, he said Don't try understanding it fully. He spoke about these things, he spoke about prarabh karma and all those aspects as well. But he's like in the Gita, there's a part that says karma's such a complex subject to understand that you go crazy if like you try understanding those. Speaker 1 I have a different perspective of this. So what I think that aspect is so karmaana gahana ghatti. There's a particular phrase in the Gita. So currents of karma are very deep. Yes that is true to the extent that if you want to find out that I am sitting here and I certainly have a headache key, what is the karmic reason for me to get a headache. You will not find that reason because there might have been something something something. But what I am talking about is something that is very fundamental to understanding Jyotish okay. Theres nothing I the way I look at it. So these three, if you dont understand, you will not understand that why is it that certain things can be changed and certain things cannot be changed. And I just remembered, I think I had read one of these cartoon strips long back. I used to read Kelvin and Hobbes and he makes this wonderful statement. I forgot that you know, God give me the strength to what cannot be changed, that you enjoy it or something like that. It's a very fantastic line that was there. So there are certain aspects which you can't change in certain individuals. Okay. There are certain combinations. Once, and I've seen that in the course of when I have done readings and all these days I do very less. But when I've done them so that nobody can change, it doesn't matter. You can go to all the temples in the world more. Every single spiritual person in the world, every person. Jai. Gaining, hogaining. Speaker 2 If you're only meant to live for 39 years of your life, you'll die at age 39. Speaker 1 That's one example of something like this, let's say, sort of. It depends. It's not like it's not that simple. There are certain combinations of graphs which if present, and I'll not go into details of that because the problem with astrology though, is that right about when you start combinations, everybody opens their chart first thing. OK, that's the last thing you should do because you will never be objective when you are doing your own analysis. You have to learn from other people, OK? People with whom you have no emotional connect that will give you the lesson anyway. So certain combinations are there which you present. It indicates that it's very fixed karma. Speaker 2 Can you give an example of a karma which can be changed through willpower? Speaker 1 So many things. For example I'm doing fat, I need to become thin, alright, start exercising, eat less fast. Willpower is acting. See, in the yogic format, as I was just telling you, there's a physical body, there is the vital plane. Where there's astral body, there's the mind. A perfectly working Yogi is 1 where the mind controls the vital, your emotional and the emotions and the vital body controls your physical body. But for people, what happens? Just the utter mind has no control, so the emotions that control A-Z. I feel like eating, I feel like going out with my friends, I feel like enjoying, etc. That's all your emotional talk. And that's the goal of yoga, to have complete control over your yes. And do you know what is the in? In another aspect, another way of looking at it, this vital power that is there. Who is the greatest representative of this vital force? Hanumanji. What does he do? Initially he is when he is jumping over the ocean he doesn't know what powers he has. Then he's told. Then he gets it and he sublimates it whole to the feet of Lord Rama. So basically the vital has tremendous power but it should not make its own judgment. Explaining 9 Grahas It puts itself into something higher. In this case say the mind. Or in in in the case of Lord Hanuman, he puts it to Rama. OK, so the moment that is done, basically the idea is that don't let your emotions make the judgment OK. Emotions are tremendous force. Nothing in this world can happen without emotions. But if you allow it to be your master, then it is a terrible master. Its role is that it should be in control of the mind, because the mind is objective, but that rarely happens in humanity. Speaker 2 As in, the mind should be able to control the emotions. Speaker 1 Yes, the mind should give an order and the emotions should follow, but that's very difficult to achieve. That is the if you already achieve that, then everybody will fall at your feet. You are already a St. Have you achieved Oh no, forget me. I am just an ordinary person. Okay. I am just an ordinary person. That's all I. Speaker 2 Probably have spoken to two or three people on this show who I believe have come close to it. I'm not gonna take names, but like of everyone I've spoken, and these are obviously, like, spiritually inclined people who I think may have come a little close to it. Speaker 1 It's possible, Yeah. You meet a lot of spiritual people, so. Speaker 2 It's the goal of yoga, Union between. Speaker 1 That's one goal of yoga. Let's put it this way, because everything is the more you look, the more you see that there are things. Speaker 2 OK, OK. OK. I'll let you take it forward. Where do you want to continue? Speaker 1 So with these understanding that there are three types of karmas. Now we spoke of the rashes, there are the 12 rashes, we spoke of 12 signs that are there, the Zodiac signs. And then there are the 9 grahs. And I told you that grahs are basically graspers of consciousness. It is very important to understand that. Speaker 2 Do you want to name the Grahas? Speaker 1 Yeah. So if you speak in English. So Graha is not exactly the planet, let me tell you this way. So that's why Sun is also a graha. OK, so I'm not talking about astronomy here. OK? It's from the Jyotish point of view. So the Sun, the boom, Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Saturn and how much? 66 Jubitus, Mercury variance Jubitus, Saturn, then Rahu and Ketu are also there. OK, two of them. These do not have physical presence. OK, so each of these Rahu and Ketu are two of the nodes. Nodes means. So the moon is traveling around the Earth, right. So there is a. It's like it's a point in space in calculation where it changes its direction, not the direction. Is Rahu, southern direction is Ketu. So it doesn't have a physical presence. Speaker 2 I think an easy way to understand that is think of the head and tail of a serpent. Speaker 1 Yeah, so that is that is big. So this is, I'm talking about the calculation part of it. OK. And when we see the the head and tail of a serpent. Plus Rahu is one of the most powerful girls, OK. In this age specifically, as the ages go, Rahu becomes more powerful. So Sun for example son is lets the first of the plan. So basically son represents certain qualities. So one of the qualities could be son may represent the government, Son represents father, Leadership, leadership, fame, fame comes from son. If son is positive then it can give it can cure from many diseases including things like for example if there is certain people have patches on the skin and things like that. So there is some stories where certain people so those were cured by worship of sun etc. So like that sun. But most importantly sun will give you a lot of fame. If sun is positive for an individual, OK, there's a lot of fame. Karna used to be a worshipper of Surya. OK, see. Speaker 2 When you're saying positive for an individual, you mean the. Combination of Sun with which house Slash Rashi. Speaker 1 Yeah there is then the more complicated thing that comes that when does when is a Groha positive and when is a Groha negative. OK, in this there are certain places where the Groha will become more powerful and some places where the Groha becomes weak. So simply speaking sun becomes very powerful when it is in arismesh. First house. OK of the Zodiac and it becomes very weak when it is in Tula. Tula is Libra which is the 7th just opposite to that. OK it becomes very weak. So because of the strength of the grah, it will have its own power and behavior pattern will change. Speaker 2 Of the human being involved? No. Of the Grah. Speaker 1 Of the Grah. And I told you that what grah means grasper. So accordingly when Sun is influencing an individual at a particular phase of time, say three years or four years, those properties it will transfer into the individual. Gotcha. Understood, Okay, That is how it grasps the consciousness. That's why it makes you do things. Speaker 2 That's why they say things like, oh, your son is now in Gemini, that's why this kind of effect oh, now your Venus is in 80s, etc. I got a pause here, and I know that this is pissing off some viewers who already know about astrology, but I also got to talk to, like, more basic viewers. Yeah, Autobiography of Yogi has an entire chapter on astrology where they talk about how every object in the world has a kind of you can think of it as an electromagnetic energy or a spiritual energy that it gives out. Like how light has a dual nature of like being a waveform as well as photons. So in the same way everything. Like say the planets have a solid nature which is as the physical planet and then they have an energy that they're giving out, correct? You can think of it as in the same way that every big object has gravity or every object in the world has gravity, but when an object is huge, it has more gravity. In the same way, when an object is huge, it has a deeper cosmic effect on a human being's life, and that object doesn't want to be. Positive It just is. Speaker 1 And that's where this aspect of Grahers comes in, correct? Speaker 2 OK, Anything you want to mention? Speaker 1 No, not much. But more or less. These nine Grahers are the fundamentals of Jyotisha, OK? Speaker 2 Now now I think you should mention each one little bit. Speaker 1 OK, so sun is like that as it say fame and things like that. On the other hand, when to just give an example, suppose so. One of the other things. On the negative side, Sun can also denote ego. Somebody with a very strong son may project a very strong ego or even misrepresented as being very arrogant because Sun is super confident. OK. On the other hand, when Sun is weak, lacks confidence and maybe internally insecure. I have seen horoscopes like that. So basically they will be again a graha. To to clarify, a graha is never independent in the sense that there are other aspects of it. Sky chemistry. Multiple grahas may be in the same house, some graha may have something known as dish T effect site. So each graha can also see the house that is 7 distance from it, just opposite. Opposite. Yeah, OK. Some grows are special dishes. OK, we'll go into that. Speaker 2 This is details of astrology. Speaker 1 This is actually. These are all basics of astrology. It's not even details but. Speaker 2 OK, go on. Speaker 1 So so Sun. So it creates that sense of insecurity and can create an insecurity sense in the individual and and The thing is that for example if Sun is weak they get affected by praise very easily, good or bad. If you praise them they become very happy or if you criticize them a bit, they become very disturbed. Whereas when the Gurha is stronger it is more stable. It is not RTK praise, Kelikui Badni criticism also it doesn't take that seriously but it may project an image of ego or arrogance. It depends on the overall horoscope. OK, at a very deep level, astrology also has its own levels. At a very deep spiritual level, Sun also represents the Atma. Inside an individual, it is the king of the solar system. The Atma is the king of your life like that. Your soul soul at another level. Sun is Shiva, but it can also be Rama, depends on the horoscope. OK, So what? Does that mean so these come in later on South you have suppose suppose there is an affliction to sun in the horoscope I'm seeing and I see that it needs to be rectified or some some way it can be cured or something like that. So how do you do that? There are three ways in which you can do that. One is that you do certain activities related to that graho that makes the graho favorable towards you. OK, so for example some government agency or government related thing, you make some donations, you do some work, Son is connected with the government, son becomes happy. But there is suppose some other kind of combination in the chart with respect to son. So I say that no, this is not enough. There you need the help of forces, higher forces. OK, so how you need the help of Devathas? Devathas are higher than this grass but the Grohers can map to certain Devitas partial energies to some degree. So depending again on the position of the sun, I may say that worship Shiva or worship Bhararava or worship Lord Rama. Rama is of the solar dynasty OK depending on the position of the sun or worship a specific Mahavidya. Like a Devi, huh? Each graha can map to lot of things. See these nine Grahas will map to everything. If you know it can map to everything. It is the capacity of the astrologer to find out that what exactly is the mapping happening. And this is not exactly a science. It's more like an art. Correctly find out. So a good astrologer must also have a certain degree of experience and intuition. OK, after sun, let's go to moon. Perhaps the most important graph in the horoscope if you ask me. More than even the sun. OK, Moon is your mind, Moon is your mother, Moon is water, Moon is milk. These things. Moon is food items. Also certain things. Various other list of things are there. Moon, the graha itself is something that fluctuates. So there is Purnima and then there is Amavasya. So exactly like the human mind. Today I'm happy. Tomorrow I'm very sad. Day after again I'm happy, then I'm sad. So the moon is like that, changing, changing like that. So the moon becomes very powerful when exalted when it is in torus. Exalted means Exalted means maximum power and it becomes very weak when it is in Scorpio. Just seven houses separate. Strong moon can indicate somebody who has a lot of emotional self-control and who has the capacity to enjoy, even in stressful times, that inner stability, stability. But not just a dry stability. Bliss. Because it's liquid. Moon is water, so that sense of happiness and joy also is governed by moon. Speaker 2 Are you OK giving names of like celebrities or? Speaker 1 No no no individual charts I'll go into. But let's just say that yeah moon gives you that that feeling of contentment inside strong moon. Whereas a weak moon plus moon allows you to have extract joy and enjoyment from a wide range of things if the moon is strong. So to give an example of a person with a very strong moon even if he falls in the drain feel we may not panic right now I cant change my circumstantial situation. But here im fine. Yeah Utna kuchhni moon is weak. The slightest amount of disturbance happens. Oh my God what the hell is happening? I cant take this ticket and being. In a so even more second step of analysis, so being Scorpio being a sign, Scorpio is a very interesting sign. It's government March. So there is amount there could be how do you, how does somebody react to a disturbance? One way of reacting is that you could internally curse yourself that okay things are very bad or you could just throw around a lot of disturbance to everybody around keep. I have not just I am disturbed but I want to throw the disturb. It happens to people. OK, yeah, it doesn't matter whether the person you're telling is responsible or not. But more or less you create that environmental disturbance can be created. OK, now these get modified a lot because obviously Agraha is never normally alone. There will always be some aspect or some other graha, something like that. And those will modify the characteristics, characteristics. I'm just talking about a very pure graha condition. And now almost no chart has this. And this is important to mention because a lot of your listers are going to say Oh my moon is like this, but I'm not behaving like this or I'm behaving like that or etc. That's because there will be all other grahas. It's like like chemistry, you add things and final product comes in something else. Jyotish is also like that. It's never going to be 1 graha alone. I'm just talking about the basic qualities. Sure. After Moon, let's go to Mercury. Mercury is the so Moon, by the way also connects to the Divine Mother to the feminine. OK? Depending on the position of the Moon, it could be various characteristics of the Devi. Which form of Devi with so mild form with its aggressive form, whether it's Kali, whether it's Shamunda, whether it's position of the moon can govern these things. OK And Vishnu avatar is also connect to them. By the way like I said, son is connected to Rama, Moon is connected to Krishna. So Mercury is the Graher. Buddha is the Graher that is considered to be youthful. It's perpetually youthful. It's it's like a Prince. If son is the king and Moon is the queen of the horoscope, then Buddha is the Prince. He is eternally in the teenager, just cross teenage face. He doesn't grow up beyond that. So he's very playful. He's extremely good in comedy. OK? He has a remarkable memory. Buddha has to be strong for a person who knows multiple languages. Without that you cannot learn languages. It's tremendous memory, OK? He hears something, he remembers it. He may not understand it though. That's a different topic that goes to different that domain. But he will be very good with it. Certain positions he may be very good in communication. Communication things are governed by Buddha and certain positions of Buddha can also make a person very good in Yoga and and this is very strange. It may sound certain combinations of Buddha can also represent things like Avichara or black magic. OK, Buddha is fundamentally as I said it's a youthful. And also by the way, Buddha also governs certain other aspects like people who suffer from whether it's impotency or things like that or confusion regarding sexuality, These are all governed by Buddha. Buddha has this capacity. It's it's it's very playful, it's very playful Gurha, but also very powerful Gurha. Because as I said, Buddha's blessing. If it's there and somebody, they are very good in remembering things. Extremely sharp memory will be there. They'll be very good with languages they can learn subjects very fast, things like that. They'll do it playfully. There's no stress just like that. They'll learn so, but not, as I said, the all these characteristics that I'm talking with, the Grahs, all of them will not manifest in an individual. It again, everything gets modified with the position, where exactly is it and what other Grahs are combining with it. OK, so Buddha becomes very powerful when it is in Kanya, Kanya, Rashi which is Virgo in English Okay and it becomes very weak where it is in MENA or Pisces Okay Kanya Rashi Buddha is the strongest. Speaker 2 All the positive traits of the Buddha come on. Speaker 1 And if it's in Pisces all the negative traits, negative weaker traits and there will be disturbances various other things. See Buddha is so important. Buddha is communication. Half the time when you have miscommunication, jhagara hora ye hora Buddha is playing some role of the other. Speaker 2 Or even all forms of growth actually happen with communication. Speaker 1 Yeah, communication is very important. For example, what you do as a communication is a significant part of it. So Buddha is very important for anything related to communication. Also Buddha is very important. Buddha's other other thing is that if Buddha blesses an individual, you'll be very good in academics. So studies and subjects and all that will be very good. The often you will find people who have done multiple Phd's and all that with certain combination of Buddha. OK, not all but certain combination. As I said, Buddha is that he's very youthful, he's young, that energy is there in Buddha. Buddha connects to Vishnu very strongly. OK, Lord Vishnu position of Buddha will tell you which form of Vishnu Buddha also connects to among the Devi forms connects to Tripur Sundari, Lalitha, Tripur Sundari, She's a Mahavidya. And Buddha can also connect to Vatuko Bhairava because he is somebody who is younger. So these are things related to Buddha. Let's go to the next, say, Mars Mangal. Mars is the warrior among the Gras. Mars represents that martial spirit. Mars represents the ability aggression. Mars represents fighting ability. Mars represents fire. OK, Mars is the general among the army. Speaker 2 Virat Kohli, sure. He has a very strong mangal. Speaker 1 All sportsmen who are into physical sports will have a strong Mars. It's impossible to be in physical sports, whether it's cricket, football or anything, without a strong Mars. On the military, military too. Police, military, etc. OK, all these are all governed by Mars, strong Mars. So Mars becomes very powerful when it is in Makar. Makar is Capricorn and becomes very weak when it is in Cancer. OK, Cancer is Kalkata Rashi because it's governed by moon. So it becomes it's not particularly a very grah that and that's emotional or things like that too watery. OK, Mars connects to certain date is one of the first date is Hanumanji. OK, then there is Kanda or Murugan who's the general of the army. OK, but Mars also connects to Narasimha of the Vishnova Dars. Mars also connects to Bagala mukhi among the Das Mahavidyas. Which will bagala mukhi way OK with this. Which specific form it will connect to depends on the horoscope. Speaker 2 All these are warrior deities. Speaker 1 All these are warrior deities in Mars also connects to Chamunda. It's a very fierce form of the mother, but it depends on certain other combinations, not standalone. OK, when Mars is strong and individual, they are normally capable of very not just physically strong, but they also What I've seen is that there's a confidence in this physicality. OK, they're very confident and that also makes them pure Mars I'm talking about. So there is self-control also. But pure Mars is very rare. The moment Mars is touched by few other girls' behavior will change. For example, if Mars has any contact with Rahu, it becomes like a wall like condition Yoddha, Yoddha Yoga. OK there, put them into a conflict bus straight, they'll go into singular. Mars will be very self controlled. It will only enter if at all is needed, just as much as it is needed to get. Result will come out, but Mars combined with other things will behave differently. Speaker 2 Is this related to Manglik? Speaker 1 Certain positions of Mars make an individual manglik. Speaker 2 Is it true that? When you marry a mangling, it's bad for the partner and all these. Yeah, okay, according to astrology. Speaker 1 Yeah, so. But there are ways to that also. Do you want to address that later in the episode or we'll just briefly touch upon it, but not too much detail. So basically before I go to that, so Mars when it becomes weak it can have first of all there could be as a Mars also represents blood by the way. OK, so there could be blood related problems plus there will be a weak constitution. OK And again, when a graha is weak, it is fundamentally insecure. So that individual will have certain degree of insecurity with respect to his own physical strength. And that can manifest in very weird ways, by the way. Which means sometimes what happens is if you're insecure about certain things to cover up your insecurity, you may try to be proactively more aggressive. So stronger Mars will have more self-control because he's confident of his power. Weaker Mars even at the slightest amount of disturbance. Haha chalo Mar Pitkataku. Something like that will try to behave in a way that is very, you know, aggressive. It's basically because deep down there's an insecurity. So you have to kind of prove more to yourself subconsciously known. I am very strong that psychology works with the grass through the individual. OK With Mars, we have this idea that it is very commonly called as mangalic. Mangalic is basically certain combinations of Mars are present in the horoscope whether they're in this 7008 thousand couple of other areas are there. So that causes a disturbance in the married life. Previously it is to be believed that it will cause death to the spouse. Today mostly devotes or separation, but there are rituals and poojas that can be done to pacify that or there are combinations. For example, normally what they do is that there is a horoscope matching that can be done whether that other individual also has similar mangalic dosha. So it kind of cancels it out to a degree. OK, not fully but to a degree. So basically you'll still fight but stay together, so that kind of thing. And then there are cancellations of Yoga is also there in chart, which is another aspect just because of Mars is in a certain position it's showing Mangali, it may not show the result if there are some other combinations present. So like this. OK, but Mars is so all things related to military, police etc is governed by Mars and the date is that I mentioned. These are the ones who can control Mars. If it is weak, if it is negative, if it needs some other disturbances manifest in it, then we approach these dates and we worship them like for. Speaker 2 Example Hanumanji gives you self belief. Speaker 1 Yeah Hanumanji see dates are more powerful than the gruhas. Remember, there's always so when you are approaching A Devadha for a specific Gruha related problem, he can solve that problem. But if you approach Devatha for spirituality, then he goes even deeper into spirituality. He will take you beyond. He can take you beyond any of the date is OK. One more thing is that Mars in a female horoscope can represent partner boyfriend, things like that. OK, can represent partner boyfriend. Now let's come to Venus. So Venus has this very interesting thing. Venus is also known as Kavya. Kavya means poetry. So Venus fundamentally gives you the ability. All that is artistic in the world is governed by Venus. OK, aesthetics is governed by Venus, whether it is wonderful aesthetics or weird aesthetics. OK, whether it is a classical painting or whether it is a very difficult modernistic or postmodernistic painting. Jsuko, Jyotsiko, Somal manyara that also is Venus. But different positions of the Venus. It could be that the Venus is weaker, A weaker Venus, but other combinations are there. So very famous painting, but you're not able to understand key okra. Whereas the classical painting would be a very classically placed, nicely placed Venus. OK, so like that. So Venus governs. In general it governs women. Venus governs things of beauty. Whether the way you are dressing up, whether you're using a perfume and all that. All these are Venus. Jewellery is everything is Venus. Poetry is Venus. The ability to write poetry is Venus. The Venus also governs Tantra Shastra. Speaker 2 I wonder who has a strong Venus? Speaker 1 No. There are others also that govern, but Venus has one particular governing capacity of Tantra and this comes from Venus is a among the Gurus. Venus is one of the gurus. By the way, there are only two Gurus in the gurus. Venus is one of them and Venus comes from Shukracharya. We find the reference to Shukracharya many times in our scriptures. Shukracharya was one of the Rishis OK and he was the guru of the Asuras and the Dekhtas OK. Shukracharya was born in the lineage of Rigu. Rigu was one of the Rishis Rigu and Shukracharya was a terrific worshipper of Shiva. It is Shukracharya who gave us the Mittunjaya mantra. He it is said that he went to Kashi and for 5000 years he worshipped Shiva in his in a normal way of Aditya worship and nothing happened. Then he said I'll do severe austerities. For 1000 years he worshipped Shiva but making sure that he only consumes the smoke from burned grains nothing else, only smoke in your eyes in your continuously for 1000 years while chanting the mantra of Shiva. So is it mantra after thousand years? They say that there's an anecdotal story. The other Gras and the other gods. The gods came to see OK key. How is he able to do this much amount of sadhana? How is the amount to do this much amount? So gods came in, they were like but they they themselves cannot do this much what Shukra is doing just inhaling smoke. Can you imagine man he's almost eyes are blind and a fit smoke and all that and he's continuously worshipping after thousand years. They tell Shiva that please give him whatever he wants. Stop this. Because if he keeps doing that, he alone will control everything. Shiva appears before him and tells you I'll teach you one thing. I'll teach you the Mitha Sanjeevani Vidya how to bring the dead back to life, something that no one else has got. He gives him that Shukra uses that then to revive the Asuras during the battle. OK, so he is able to bring back all the divine beings and all that. So then the Pramathas or the Shivaganas, they come to Shiva and say that he's reviving all the Asuras back. All the wounds are going in there again. For how will we defeat them ever? And Shiva tells Nandi who is Shiva's greatest Bhakta, does that go and catch him and bring him here. OK, so he gets Shukra back to Shiva, digests Shukra takes him inside his body, eats inside the body of Shiva. He is seeing that all the 14 lokas are there. Universe is there, everything is there. Gods are there as well as that. Whatever is happening outside, everything is inside his body only, OK? And in this he's not able to come out of that state because he's they say that I think for hundreds of years he stayed inside the body of Shiva, OK? And the asuras obviously became weaker because he was not using the vidya to revive them anymore. So the king God started winning after that finding no other excuse, no other way out. He was able to come out from the sexual organ of Shiva. Then Shiva told him that by this act you become like my son. OK And you will have mastery over certain aspects. So she was. So he gets the name Shukra Shukra The word also means semen Shukracharya. He has Venus controls everything about sexuality in the sense normal sexuality. OK, everything. Whether a person looking at the condition of sugar, you can find out a A-Z about a person's various things about his sexuality and things like that. OK, including even those aspects which are for example used in Tantra. Some of the aspects whether mythuna is used in Tantra, whether it can be done on, whether individual will be able to do it and it depends on the shukra. Wow, Shukra knows the vidya to revive somebody. If shukra is strong in a person, certain things you there are practices they can do by which even if they may be aging, they still look young. It is the capacity of Shukra to give you that Shukra is fundamentally passion. See Moon and shukra both are likeness. But there is a difference. Both are feminine girls. That's the difference. Moon is that general bliss and happiness. Mohat Majara life, Sapthika it's Aageri, Jana, Pishan Jana Majara. Everything is fine. Shukra is passion. This is what he applies in the sadhana. He says that no, no, I have to get Shiva Askalia like mad. He does a sadhana. Everybody's stunned. How the hell is he able to do this? So much of penance, austerity. OK, this is the capacity of shukra. Without shukra it is very difficult to succeed in the world because you don't have passion for something. If you don't have passion, you're not going to put in that effort. Passion could be for anything. Passion could be for sadhana also. And once passions in something, it doesn't feel like effort exactly. Then it is not work anymore. Anybody who has done something terrific will need to have some blessings of shukra. Venus will have to be in a good place in the charts, yes. For the material growth, correct. Not just material, that's what there are certain combinations. There's a particular combination of Venus, Saturn and Ketu present in the chart. It shows a Tapasvi Yoga. You are able to do Tapaswa Tapasya, which means that you're able to do penances. Hard penances, OK, because you like doing it once. As you said, once you start liking something, then it is not effort anymore. Then no one has to prod you to go to office or go to school or something like that. You on your own will do it. That is the blessing of shukra, and it's very, very important in many things. Speaker 2 On a very low level. I know that if your Venus is in a good place, you are set to have a lot of sex in your life. Speaker 1 That is one way of looking at it. So basically what happens is that two things Venus does govern sex, but also it governs the for a for a man, Venus also governs his wife or girlfriend or something like that, whatever his partner. OK, Venus by itself is women. All women are governed by Venus. In fact, by looking at the position of Venus, you can make out even that. How, how, what? What are the physical features and various really a lot of things. OK, so not just Venus. Others are there, but Venus is a key component of it. Speaker 2 OK. Speaker 1 And so Venus connects to Lakshmi, Mahalakshmi. And also among the Mahavid, there's she can, Venus connects to Kamal. Atmika is a mahavid there. OK, that's the Tantric form of Lakshmi. But again, Agraha is never alone. So once it has influence of other Grahers, its character and behavior changes. Venus by the way, also controls things like films and all that. Speaker 2 You can never be famous as a film actor or somebody who's well known until your Venus is well placed and connected to certain places in the horoscope, OK? Speaker 1 That visibility that see, that's the thing, Venus. That connection of lot of people, OK, that that kind of film with respect to films and things like that all are somehow governed by Venus, one of the artistic films media for example. Also Venus totally OK after Venus, let's go to Jupiter. Jupiter is the second. Is the guru of the Devathas OK? Jupiter is masculine in nature. Jupiter is grew in the traditional sense. He's heavy, OK, he has a certain there's a certain gravity and a weight in Jupiter. Somebody is influenced by Jupiter moment. They sit in a room. You will understand that Jupiter is strong. So they did not. They'll not joke around and all that. It's not intimidating, kind of heavy. But you feel that OK, this person knows a lot or this person has a lot of. A depth in him that is Jupiter okay. Venus, by the way, also governs jewels, diamond and all that. Those business you cannot enter jewelry business you cannot enter without Venus influence, especially gemstones and rare stones and rare materials and all that things. Now Jupiter is the guru of the graphs. Okay. He is the he teaches the Devathas, not to the gross. He teaches the gods how to fight whatever other Vidyas have to be taught etc Is that way. He represents the Vedas and the Vedanta. He is the traditional path, completely Jyotish and all, traditionally all under his domain. His influence. Jupiter also represents wisdom Mercury had mentioned that has the ability to learn a lot of things. But you may learn a thing you whether you are digesting it or not that governs Jupiter whether youre realizing it or not. Okay that is Jupiters domain. Jupiter represents gold, it represents lot of wealth, it represents banking systems so very often clean wealth. But its very important. Jupiter is Jupiter is fundamentally ethical. It doesnt like non ethical things because its a guru of the grass. Will never do any shortcut business. Ethics is very important. Jupiter Also weight is there so there are certain combinations of Jupiter. If it's present then people tend to put on weight. There's a certain heaviness, heaviness in their aura. Heaviness also physically can happen. Jupiter becomes very strong when it is placed in Cancer, Kolkata, Russia and it becomes very weak when it's placed in Capricorn. OK, just the opposite of Mars. Jupiter can connect to any any deity for that matter. But certain placements depending on placements, it can represent Shiva or it can represent a very cosmic form of Vishnu. OK, very large form of Vishnu. Jupiter can also represent a very cosmic form of Ganpati. Very powerful form of Ganpati. So there are more details of it. Which Stotra of Ganpati will connect to Jupiter in this form And from the tantric point of view, Jupiter represents Matara. OK, so Jupiter has these characteristics. Jupiter's blessing on individual means he'll be very deeply learned. So subjects like I would say for example say physics. These are all governed by Jupiter or philosophy. 100% Jupiter. Without a strong Jupiter you will not. That depth will not come. Jupiter has that very they are very sincere. Jupiter doesn't like shortcuts in Dohnambri Kamniho. OK, it's very ethical, very sincere, hardworking, and Jupiter's blessing is very important to digest experiences. Correctly digest the experience. Spirituality. Jupiter plays a very important role. Whatever other grahhas may be, they have their own role to play. But Jupiter plays a role in the sense that Jupiter puts you in the right path. No shortcuts, hard working and it helps you to finally expand and digest experiences. That's one of the key things about Jupiter. I already mentioned Maatara links to Jupiter certain conditions of Jupiter. She has to be worshipped to bring the person out on the negative side. Jupiter is Jupiter is. Another fundamental quality is that it expands, but it likes expansion. OK, a negative Jupiter can also bring in diseases, by the way, in an individual like cancer and things like that. Sudden uncontrolled expansion of cells or something like that. Jupiter likes sweet things. A person's strong Jupiter. We canmore or less say like switch as a taste Jupiter. Also there are Karakhattvas of Gurkhas. Karakhatva means lordships. What does it control? There are two types of lordships of a Gurkha which is till now what I was telling you was the nicer Giga Karakhattva which means natural lordship. So Jupiter naturally Lords gold. Jupiter naturally Lords certain things, but in an horoscope it may have some functional lordship also. Which depends. Later we'll go into that. But so Jupiter, because of this, if Jupiter is afflicted, you will, you may see diseases like sugar, blood sugar and things like that. These are also governed. Hormonal problems are governed by Jupiter. Sometimes some kind of hormonal imbalance or things like that. In a woman's horoscope, Jupiter may govern her husband. So you can understand the basic nature of the husband by looking at the position of the Jupiter, OK? And general wealth and wisdom and all these things are there. So it's the Deva guru. Then we come to Saturn. Speaker 2 Shani Shani The most interesting one for a lot of viewers. Speaker 1 Shani is fundamentally a graph of discipline and taskmaster. It likes hard work. It likes people who do hard work. A positive shani means they will be very hardworking. Negative Shani means they will be extremely lazy. OK. Lazy. Indolent. Ha Aaj kattya kalkattya per soak at the tips and the more lazy you become, the more your shiny is going to cause you trouble. Simplest I'm saying. Of course it all gets modified based on various other factors, but this is number 1. So hard work and discipline is what Shani likes. #2 Shani likes masses lower level, not the elites. Shani dislikes elite. Speaker 2 See, Shani is actually son of Surya, the son of the son. Speaker 1 Yeah, in the mythological lores that we gets, he's a son of Surya, OK? But he dislikes. Surya, completely dislikes him. Shani just dislikes son, OK? Because son can project the ego, arrogance and confidence. Shani likes humility. Just the opposite. The more humble one is. So Shani's idea is that you be humble and do hard work. Speaker 2 Then why does Shani have a negative connotation? Speaker 1 That is because certain positions of Saturn if it is placed so these are the two things that are told but. Fundamentally, people may not neither be humble nor hard working. OK, so then Shani also among other things, it rules. It rules things like something that is very long lasting. OK, so if Shani gives you a trouble, it is going to last for a very long time. OK, for example, what I said about discipline and all that. This is the fundamental nature of the graph. But if Shani is negative, OK and is troublesome. Then it can cause a lot of trouble because it is slow. Also okay and also another thing with Shani is that it it likes justice. Okay. If there is something wrong or some injustice that has happened or being done something it likes dishing out the justice to that individual during its period. That can be very painful. Okay. Shani worships Bhairava and Kali. These are the two go to Graha devathas who can control Shani to an extent. But also here let me say that some of the most fixed karmas we are Speaking of Jiya Karmas are also governed by certain positions of Saturn. Certain in that sense is many people will say that Saturn is a karmic Graha. Basically what it means is that certain likes giving this justice business. So you have taken shortcuts XYZ somewhere, somewhere, somewhere certain comes in and he gives you full hiss out. So he's like that credit card bill that comes in first to ensure the new then the bill will come. So that is what he is and that is where people that's why people get scared because obviously somewhere or the other, if you have taken shortcuts or some things like that and certain comes in, it's going to make you pay and there's no no escaping it. It's not that simple to no to escape certain so easily. It's very. It itself is humble. See, escaping means what? Suppose Sun or the other Grahhas are weak or something like that. You do some Poojas or Japas or something like that. For the Grahhas that's basically a way of placating the grahha. To placate Shani is very difficult because it's very humble. Speaker 2 It is not looking for your praises too much and that's why you say the Hanuman chalisa. Hanuman chalisa can help but it has to be significant amount of Hanuman chalisa OK. Speaker 1 Hanumanji has the ability to control the dying grahs. By the way, the date is also have. Is very popular so that's why we use that. Saturn also controls various beings of the lower realms. So positions of Saturn can tell you whether XYZ individual will have contact with these kind of entities or not. Spirits also sometimes can be governed by Saturn. Saturn also indicates. So Saturn indicates generally the worker class. OK, one of the very interesting remedies of Saturn. I know a friend whose uses this tell people, for example, a Saturn is difficult in somebody's horoscope. So tell him that in your house on a specific day, you yourself clean the toilets. That's something a very menial kind of work. Precisely what Saturn likes. Don't let the servant or somebody else do it. You do it. You don't like it. So what? That's the attitude that if you have, then Saturn is going to turn slightly favorable towards you. It hates ego. It hates arrogance. It hates lack of humility. It hates lack of discipline. But unfortunately, the whole world suffers from these things a lot. And Saturn also. Gives in his justice. He's very justice oriented in that sense. By the way, Saturn can give in certain combinations exceptional amount of wealth, so much wealth that no other Gurha can give. In fact you can take it this way that perhaps some of the greatest, the richest people, some of them would likely to have certain combinations of Saturn, certain places. When Saturn gives wealth, it's like unthinkable amount of wealth will come. But there is a catch involved. Saturn is one of the now there are gross of other combinations also. So there are certain gross which are more cruel. Cruel means more so let's say fears or something not so may not gentle. OK Saturn is one of the cruel gras. Sun is also cruel Gras. By the way Saturn is a cruel Gras. So Saturn's if if a wealth comes from Saturn, there are. It is not a natural domain of Saturn. Natural domain of Saturn is hard work and discipline. Being an unnatural domain, you can be certain that if a person, if a horoscope competition, shows that this person made a lot of money with respect to Saturn, there will always be shortcuts involved. Corruption. Yeah, yeah. Speaker 2 OK. Speaker 1 Because it's not as not a natural domain, OK? Speaker 2 Saturn also represents imprisonment and things like that, like the ring of Saturn is like a test. You're caged up for some time. Speaker 1 Yeah. Speaker 2 And if you pass that. Speaker 1 Yes, yes, sort of. Speaker 2 So, and is it true that at the end of your Saturn phase, there's a reward always? Speaker 1 No, not always. It's it's a popular saying. Sometimes it is true, but sometimes it may not be true. Again, all of it depends on the position of Saturn. And as I mentioned, there are certain combinations of Saturn which is present. There is no cure possible for that. If whatever is the affliction, nothing, no amount of obasan of any deity, no amount of going to anywhere else is going to bring any relief. Just have to go through that. Because that is the lesson that nature is going to teach you. Saturn is very good in teaching lessons to keep certain degree of control over Saturn. Saturn also by the way, controls oil and things like that. These are all governed by Saturn. People often ask I'll do Hanuman chalisa once, once may the Kuchini 1 Evala does the salary Kuchini hoga. So do depending on the amount of trouble you are in. You decide key how much you have to do. OK, so that it should be you know of the same level as the intensity of difficulty that you are facing. Then only there's a chance that you will have some relief from it. OK. Now we go to Rahu. So Rahu is basically an Asura. The story goes that Rahu after these, after the churning of the ocean, Cosmic ocean was done. Then there was Amritha that came out OK many things came out, of which one of them was Amritha. Amritha, it makes you mortal. So Rahu and Asura disguises himself and goes. The gods have taken the Amritha and they're having. He goes there. He says that I want that amritha also. So he disguises himself and he sits and he takes a bit of that Amrita in his mouth. OK, immediately there's a Vishnu there. He understands that OK, this is this is not a God, this is a asura. So he uses his Sudarshan and cuts off his head. OK, so the Amrita comes into his mouth, doesn't go into the body. SO2 parts come out. One is the head and one is the tail. So the head is Rahu of the Asura and the tail is Ketu body. Tail or body? Whatever. OK, but because he had Amrita, so he becomes immortal. OK Rahu is a head without a body. Rahu has its own interesting nature. The primary natures of Rahu is that it is a master in creating illusions. Absolute master OK #1 #2 is that Rahu tries to eat everything. OK. Grasp and eat. But it can't digest everything because it doesn't have a body. So Rahu influence means you are trying to, you will try to, in that specific area or something, have to spread very fast. But whether you are able to integrate that properly that you don't know. In fact very often that is precisely what the illusion is. Very fast expansion in certain ways or very fast. Yeah, expansion only for lack of better words. But whether that is being integrated or not, if it is not being integrated then eventually there is going to suddenly burst. That is one of the problems with Rahul OK. Rahul also governs spirits OK because it doesnt have a physical presence. Rahul is extremely powerful because all these domains, illusions, this, that etc. These are all things in the mind imagination. Certain combination of Rahul can give tremendous imagination. OK, Rahul is also in a way like the the physical domain is there and then there is the occult domain. He is the doorway between the physical and the occult. He can take you to that run both in a positive and a negative sense. Rahul is extremely brave. But this bravery is different from that of Mars. Mars is like full scale warfare. Rahul is like a bomb blast. Even a moment before that. You don't know what is going to happen. Suddenly it will burst and everything is you are like shocked out of your mind. OK, Rahul has another ability. It can read through conspiracies. No other graho can. If there is some conspiracy, all the conspiracy theories in the world are Rahul doing. He loves creating conspiracies whether they're real or not. And it also gives you the ability to see through a conspiracy. Any individual is working in a spy agency or something like this. You can't do that work until your Rahu is strong. It's impossible or politics speculating. Equations being made this will work. Speaker 2 That will work you all the Rahu's domain, Internet, full scale Rahu, all youtubers. Speaker 1 This age is Rahu, by the way. We call it Kali Yoga. This is the age when Rahul's most powerful. So Rahul is not always bad. By the way, I'm not saying that Rahul is bad. Technology is entirely Rahul. Today you have 50-60 years ago, people used to think that you know what is going to be a computer, large computer, maybe like the size of a room or something. Today that whole processing power is there in your telephone. OK? It's becoming small. It's becoming more powerful. Things are changing very fast. Anything that changes fast is Rahul's domain. Quickly. It is going to shift things, OK. Rahul grasps attention very quickly, which is why the phone is the attention grabber. In this today's age, everybody take the phone away. You are like like a fish out of water. OK, so these things Rahul can control. On the positive side, Rahul gives a lot of courage, very strong courage. Rahul also, as I mentioned, can influence a person into black magic or these things. Both. Both being a victim of it or somebody who's doing it. Okay plus the world of spirits and all that. Rahul has full connection to it. Certain combination of glowers can indicate that somebody may be affected by spirits. Rahul is controlled by it. Rahul also controls animals, not animals. Rather it's like insects and all that. Cockroaches, spiders, this, that. All these are governed by Rahul's. OK, Rahul to control Rahul. There are few deities who are very good in controlling Rahul. Primary of them is Madurga. Primary of them Then also Bharva is very good in controlling Rahul. Extremely important in controlling Rahul. Rahul can lead to addictions. By the way, certain combinations with Rahul more or less you can be certain that they'll have addiction and very difficult to get out of addiction. Certain combinations of Rahul are there. She's present. So these two other deities are also there in the Tantric VA. In the Das Mahavidya Devi Chinnamastha is the one who controls Rahu. OK, Chinnamastha is extremely aggressive. But this judgment is to be correctly applied when to worship which deity for relief. OK, if whatever is there. Rahu has the ability to eclipse the sun and the moon. Sun and moon are the most fundamental gros in the horoscope. Because sun, I told you is deeper. Level is soul, Moon is the mind. Your soul and mind are the most important things. Rahu can Causeway eclipse to that and that is going to Causeway certain behavioral changes in that individual even when we have eclipses outside. By the way you will see there are two things there. Eclipse is a very peculiar time. One is that when an eclipse is happening, temples are closed. Normal Dharma, normal sense of right and wrong. What is to be done and what is to be not done? Dharma. And a Dharma has a certain flow. OK? Whenever Rahu grasps the sun and the moon, it causes a tremendous change in the energy, in the atmospheric energy, spiritual energy of the place where that eclipse is happening, even on the world at a certain level. But its more specifically at the place where the eclipse is happening. So normal Dharma gets disturbed. That is one of the reasons why temples are closed. Traditionally there are certain sutak that is followed, which means that you don't eat food for a certain period of time until the eclipse gets over. Then you take a bath and things like that. You don't see an eclipse directly. And I'm not talking about the scientific aspect and all that, but spiritually they have their own meaning why these are not done and this is good to follow. OK, but that period is also extremely good for spiritual practice. What you can achieve through years of practice, normal time you can achieve in one or two hours during Agrahan. Because Rahu is like that veil between the world you see and the world that you cannot. See explosive growth, explosive. He can live that veil also and cause that veil also. And in fact, there are certain outside India there are certain places for Rahu worship is very common. Outside India, yeah yeah, certain places Rahu or shib, Rahu tattoos and Rahu poojas are done specifically, but the power is used more for material purposes, some positive, some negative. Speaker 2 What is it called in English? Speaker 1 I don't know what is called but they call it Rahu only. And Rahu's ability to see through conspiracy is very useful. Correctly placed Rahul can also help you dominate your enemies because even before they make a move, you know what theyre trying to do. He can see that thing OK Rahul is also your link to your subconscious mind. All the others are functioning in your conscious. Rahul is where the subconscious business starts in. OK, good or bad, whatever. But either way, and even Hanumanji also can be certain. Sadhanas are there Manju which can be done to control Rahu. Another thing is that Rahu can show in a horoscope things like we were discussing sarpa, dosha and all that placement of Rahu determines that Rahu also controls nagas and surfers and all that snakes and all rahus. So after Rahu, let's go to Ketu. Ketu is the body of Rahu without the head. Ketu governs again like Rahul governs all spirits, particularly spirits, but also high level of spirituality, very high level. See Jupiter as I was mentioning is more like. Wisdom and philosophy, yes, but this is mysticism. Mystical experiences, very strange experiences, but also spirits. OK, both of them are very much there. And it also governs a certain degree of detachment. Correctly placed Ketu will govern detachment. Correctly placed Ketu can also show whether a person will attain to very high states like Nirvana and all these things certain. But that is in my opinion, that judgment should not be done because very high when you talk about that level of spirituality, they actually go beyond gross. OK, it's not, it's, it's. What happens is that after a person has achieved something, then people try to retrofit and say Scalee over, Scalee over. But actually that level of spirituality is beyond gross. K2 is also very brave. OK, but K2 is a bit mindless. So K2 is irrational completely because it doesn't have a head. So wherever K2 is placed, that is the area where you will work mostly, either out of intuition or whatever organic feeling you have. Thinking too much is not going to help wherever the K2 is placed in the horoscope. So K2 requires a head. One of the best date is to worship to control Ketu. Is Ganpati OK? Because Ganpati himself has his head replaced my ear. Worshipping Ganpati is very good to bring Ketu under some degree of control and feeding fishes and things like that. They are also governed by Ketu. OK, so Ketu's placement tells you a about spirits and about detachment. Also detachment means it can be very a strong degree of detachment in the sense if suppose the House of spouse has K2, let me show that the marriage, in the marriage there is certain degree of could be a disconnect between the husband, wife maybe saying the house they're staying but there is no connection properly. It's like 2 roommates. That's it kind of. So those things, it could be in other areas also. So these are the three fundamental themes of Ketu. One is that it could be spirits or it could be high level of spirituality. Ketu also governs very high level of mathematical ability by the way, very high level. I'm not talking ordinary level. This is like international best mathematicians of the world that is very typically Ketu has this ability or very high calibre chess players, not just normal chess players. This is like super grand masters OK? Where they're looking at the most complicated positions because after some point K2 is the growth of intuition. Most important, growth of intuition because it doesn't think the mind is not there. Your intuition gets blocked because of a rational mind. OK, but rational mind has its uses because until the intuition is purified and correctly built on it will guide you wrongly because you are getting you can get information all sorts of places. So Ketu governs these things and among date is one of the as I mentioned the first day to do worship is Ganpati. For that matter there are certain Ganesh with Dakshas which with energize with mantras they can help an individual reading Ketu troubles if there are very significant amount of problems. Explaining 12 houses/ Zodiac Signs A certain placement of Ketu in Tantra, the mahavid. They are known as dhumavati to control Ketu. She is one of the most peculiar mahavid des OK. Ketu also controls things like smoke particular. So, Rahul and Ketu's differences. To give an example, suppose somebody is afflicted by a disease. If you if Rahul is the cause of the disease, you go to a doctor. The doctor will tell you ha ha with the T kojakovatni. This is what the is. You go to doctor B, you will say it's very simple, no problem. But he'll give you a different diagnosis. You will have 10 different places. All of them will give you full confidence them 100% will get cured but ten different diagnosis. If Ketu is governing the disease 10110 doctors also will not find out what is the root cause of the problem. So it's like this mokiness about it. It's not the vision is not there, clarity is not there and Rahu is the pretence of clarity. Zaday Dikra Jitna USA Ada Dikra. Speaker 2 Rahu's illusion. Speaker 1 Ketu's mystery sort of. Indiana a way. Briefly saying that is right and both of them get involved in Yogas. Obviously they are always 7 houses apart. Rahul and Ketu will always be 7 houses apart, OK And they get involved in the Grahan and all these things etcetera. So. So Ketu fundamental is in a way both intuition, spirituality, spirits and detachment. These things are. Don't make it. Speaker 2 Okay, that's it. Speaker 1 That's the that's the nine graphs. Speaker 2 Okay, this is the point where I would also like you to explain the houses in terms of let's make this personalized for the end. Viewer There's a lot of people who don't understand astrology, but I feel like if they get an idea of what houses stand for, it suddenly makes you interested in astrology for the first time. I would always kind of laugh at my mum, who's very into it. All this doesn't work. And when she explained the houses and she explained the positions of my planets, I was like, OK, that's a little weird. Kind of described my personality. I would even laugh at all these friends of mine who talk about, oh, you're a Libra. That means you could date a Gemini. I would laugh at my friends until. I just realized that there's some truth in astrology, and the more I learn about it, the more humble I got about the subject. But it began with understanding what those 12 houses right, stand for on a very personal level. I will let you expand on this thought. Speaker 1 I started the 1st house. 1st house is the Lagna OK, which we call Lagna is the Zodiac that comes up in the eastern horizon at the moment of birth of an individual. OK. Of the 12 houses, whatever is coming up at the eastern horizon? Speaker 2 As in the map of where you were born at what time you were born, you look at the eastern horizon, correct? Speaker 1 Whatever is there, whatever side house Rashi is coming up, that is the Lagna. Speaker 2 The question is, is there a Sunday? Is there Mercury in that part? Speaker 1 Is the Venus and that that comes the second part. First is you. You fix the lagna. OK. From where the calculations are to be done. Gotcha. OK, so Lagna is your house, number one. OK. It could be any house. So lagna determines the individuals first basic personality. It determines key, what is there physically, how do they look and things like that and their thinking process. Lagna is perhaps in a way the self. You are the lagna first okay how you think, how you determine how you work and all that. Everything will be governed by Lagna. Speaker 2 Can you explain that looks part based on if the sun is in that part or if the moon is in that part? Speaker 1 So if there are multiple combinations possible in this along with the lagna there has to be there is the so the trains of the individual OK. The reason I'm not going into the specific combinations because the end there are endless combinations. OK, OK, at too long, not just too long. It'll take years to actually grasp. There are so many combinations possible you will have only through practice. This is the basics I'm talking. But once a person starts practicing and all that eventually they are, then you will develop your method of understanding how is the looks. So sometimes it's possible that even in a cruel some of the grass they can give fantastic looks in an individual. OK, but there will be something in the personality that is not absolutely clean. OK, so all these things are various possibilities. Are there? This is house number one. OK. It also gives a general idea about your health whether, as I said, it is like yourself. How do you look at yourself? OK. Speaker 2 Also, how like the world would know you? Speaker 1 No, that's that's very interesting. There is another calculation that goes not at the first level of second level. So there is something else. The Arudha Lagna. There's a specific combination which finds out specific house will have that. And from that point if you look at the horoscope then you will understand how the world looks at you. You may think you are XYZ. The world may think you are something else. Well, OK, because Jyotish goes to that depth. Gotcha. OK. Your second house governs things like food. What do you like eating? How do you speak? OK, What's your manner of speech? Is it sweet? Is it rough? Do you lie? Are you truthful? All these things you can find out number two, wealth that comes from your family. Are you born into a rich family? Well, of family. Does your family support you? Etcetera. Like this Family means parents side family, OK. After marriage it becomes your spouse and all that family more or less shows the support of your family, resources that your family can provide for you, your food habits, your speech, these things. OK, I'm just giving broad ideas. Remember that this 9 girhas and 12 rashes govern everything in the universe. If if Jyotish is to be take and we look at from the jyotish point of view. So that means that each houses and each girhas will have a huge list of things actually connected to them. But these are the most primary things that I'm talking about. OK 3rd house for example is communication. Written communication. OK. It is also the House of courage. How much whether a person is brave or whether a person is not brave you can figure out with hurdles okay. It also gives short travels not very long okay. Maybe from Mumbai to Pune or things like that. Short travels. It also governs sports. Okay are you whether you are inclined towards sports, physical sports, not not chess and all that. OK, those things. So and yeah, it also governs your siblings, specifically younger siblings, those who are younger than you, whether you have a sibling or not. What is your equation with the sibling? Everything. 3rd house will tell you that. OK, your 4th house is your mother and also the house your home. Where are you staying? OK along with that it from the 4th house you can figure out things like whether you are you will stay in a country of your birth, you go to a different place. What is your equation with your mother? First thing OK then is the vastu of your place correct or not? Wow, where you are staying. Speaker 2 This is almost like intrusively like an X-ray on someone's life. Speaker 1 That's how deep astrology can go if it's in the hands of the this, I'm talking is just the starting level. There are more other things there. Okay, even the charts in Jyotish are not one. One is your Rashi chart which is this I'm talking about. Then there is Navamsa and then there are 1015 other subtle levels of charts. If I have to check your spirituality, I will check a particular horoscope which will give a more detailed view of 1 aspect of your life. If I need to check something else, say you know the various other aspects like this, there are multiple charts and that is why one of the typical questions that come in that if twins are there of similar birth, why are their lives different? Because even if there is a difference in a few seconds those subtle, the secondary tertiary charts will all start changing. Wow, OK, so this level western astrology does not have, it's only Jyotish that has it. So we dealt with four thousands, basically a home 4 thousands also determines one very interesting thing. Are you happy or not? Very Simply put, your sense of happiness, peace. 4th is your heart also that's one of the first spiritual houses. 4th OK then comes 5th house. 5th house governs creativity. How imaginative are you? How creative are you? One more thing, 4th house also governs your primary education. School OK school education and all that. 5th house will start governing a higher education, your creativity. Most importantly, all artistic people must have certain strong combinations with the 5th 1000. Fifth thousand also governs your children. If people have problems in childbirth, often there is some problem in the 5th 1000. OK, it's sort of your vision of the future. Sometimes it happens that there may be a negative or some other problematic combination the 5th, 1000. So that individual does not have a clear vision of where am I going in the future or you will make plans and they'll never succeed. That's one of the things that 5th house causes the problem. OK, so 5th house governs these things. 5th house also governs by the way among many other houses also there. But fifth is the first one that governs your mantra. What is the natural affinity of the month? Which which mantra will work naturally for you? Speaker 2 As in each of the Grahers has its own duty. Speaker 1 This is generally speaking OK To give an example if somebody has, suppose and mind you again I'm saying that there are multiple combinations. This is just I'm telling you one. So in suppose 5th 1000 is Mars. Now we have learned that Mars controls Mars is connected to Hanumanji, Mars is connected to Narasimha. Mars is connected to Skandha to Bhagalamukhi. You can choose one of these dates depending on some other key. What are the influences there in Mars and say that you can start this state is impossible. 5th house governs your first natural liking and the beauty of this is that each house from its shrines which is the from that house. If you connect to 5th and 9th of the house, if you do a calculation 1234. If you take that as the base and connect the fifth one and the 9th 1:00. So these houses will have a natural liking towards each other. 159 from any house basically means yourself is house, 1/5 is your children. So generally humanity will have a love for their child. OK, if you did not, if this was not there, why would a person take care of a child? Speaker 2 What? What about the 9th? Speaker 1 9th Is your forefathers your father? OK, so this makes a very interesting yourself, your future, and your past. They are linked together OK. You got the 5th house, 5th house. Now let's come to the 6th house. This is the first difficult house in the horoscope. 6th is the House of Diseases, 6th is the House of enemies, 6th is the House of Debts, 6th is the House of court cases. All these things will come from 6th house. OK, so if there is, if there's a problem of enemies or things like the difficulties from looking at the combination in the 6th house and the Grrhas, you can make out that whether how long it is going to last or what is the way to get out of it, if at all you can get out of it or not. And plus diseases and all that, all that is governed by 6000 on the positive sides. Six house can also indicate service. Service means to serve somebody without expectation that also governs. That is also governed by the 6000. OK, then comes 7007 thousand is the House of your spouse, your partner. 7000 is also the window to the world. OK, because it's just opposite to yourself. 7000 is also a House of business, a partnership if youre doing a business. So whether you are you will work or whether you will do business in that 7000 plays a key role to determine but more or less your marriage and relationships. First thing is that 7000 will govern very interestingly. By the way, I just for 5th 1000 governs a feeling of love. But whether the translates into something concrete eventually who will be governed by the 7000? And it is the job of the person who is doing the analysis to seek you how it links up everything. OK then comes the 8th house. This is the mysterious house, bad and good. Bad because it is a house where if a gruha is placed more or less it is going to give you trouble. That's certain. Just like 6th house, 6th house is going to give you trouble, 7th house is also going to give you trouble. Eight house is everything in our life that you cannot see. Everything that you cannot predict. You thought that every all all bases are covered. 8000 is what you never expect to happen. Unexpected things, accidents. Nobody expects an accident, right? Absolutely unknown things that comes from 8000. Whether sometimes you will see a person. Normal life is leading out of the blue. He acquires some wealth or something like that happens or something. Some sudden change that comes in positive or negative. It's all 8000, that which you could not predict before. No one could predict out of the blue it will happen. 8000 also governs your longevity more or less How many years you will survive. 8000 is death, 8000 is sex, 7000 is also sex, but 8000 shows whether a person enjoys it or not. And it can also govern and show you if there are any kind of diseases or anything related to sexuality. All that will come out from the 8008 thousand is occult. Almost every individual who is good in occult will have certain strong 8000 combinations. OK, because occult means what that which you cannot actually see in the normal sense. That's very raw cult starts. 8000 governs all that. OK8000 also governs things like kundalini and things all that. So 8000 also governs inheritance very interestingly. OK, whether you will attain inheritance, it also governs whether you will attain any inheritance from your spouse. Some people who are marry into very rich family. OK get something from there. So all that is governed by the condition of the 8000. OK then comes to 9009 thousand is your father, 9000 is your Dharma. 9000 is your guru whose father is your first guru. In a way, when a child is born, it's considered 9000 shows more or less key. If a person, what kind of guru and what kind of guidance he will receive? Where he will receive the guidance from what teachers? How is his equation with the teachers? OK, these things will come out from the 9000 + 9000 also governs things like suppose you're doing PhD and that type of that level of study 9000 comes into play. OK, through those shows and all that. If they are there in the chart, they are reflected among other things in through the nine thousands also. OK, so 9000 is fundamentally your guru. I said 9000 also is your Devatha by the way, not just 5th. 9th is also your devatha. 9th is not just your devatha, it is in your house or your wherever you do your spiritual practice. It governs and shows what kind of spiritual practice is it doing. Is that space nice or is this space problematic or whatever. Many things can come in 9009 thousand is your connection to God. OK then comes 10,010 thousand is very powerful house. 10,000 is your Karma. 9th is Dharma, 10th is Karma. Karma is fundamentally where are you placed in society? How is society looking at you? What have you achieved in life? What is your area of work. So basically when questions and career and work comes in 10 becomes very important. You see that what kind of work you can do. So now if you link this knowledge with the see initials of Jyotish are people have to remember these things. If you don't never be able to do Jyotish, this should be completely inside your head. So we have talked about Mars as a that connects to police and army and suppose someone has Mars placed in the 10th house very strong. You can more or less predict that OK, this guy is going to likely to go into police or some this type of work. OK, because that is the area of work and that is the group of place there. Now if you change Mars and suppose Venus comes in safely, really either going to be in some fashion industry or media or something like that. Change it to moon. OK, Moon had said among other things is that food. So maybe you should open a restaurant, see change it to sun, try for government jobs. UPSC this that its the state of it. 10,000 is also in some people. Some people consider 10th also to be father Okay. But more or less fundamentally, 10th shows your kind of your where do you stand in society, what work you can do and how far you will succeed and things like that. OK, so that makes it a very crucial house for people. OK, then this is that then comes to 11,011 thousand, governs things like wealth you're earning. OK, how much salary are you getting or how much what is your earning from the work you're getting? Whatever you're doing. OK, 11,000 first thing is earnings. Second thing about 11,000 is that it also rules your friends for how is your friends circle. OK, so if you have a Rahu in 11,000 you will have Rahu inference friends around you. OK, like that. These two connections are very simple. So once you remember these two, first step of Jyotish is to remember these things. Unless you remember them, you'll never be able to Do you remember them, then you, then you apply. After that you practice and apply and there are other sadhanas you do which can make you better. In Jyotish many things are there anyway. So wealth, earnings, specifically salary, what we call the all these things are 11,011 thousand is also your friends. 11,000 is also your elder sibling. Somebody who is elder to you if you have an elder sibling, if if at all you have an elder sibling, what is your equation with the elder sibling? All these things will come in 11,000, OK And 11,000 is also your relatives, more or less broadly speaking. See what I'm again, whatever the terms see as I'm saying about the different houses, these are like the first level. There are more things involved. As I said, 9 girls, 12 houses govern everything in the world, if you can see it that way, OK. So obviously the list will be very heavy after 11, so 11,000 if somebody has a. To give an example, if somebody has Jupiter in the 11th house, he'll make a lot of wealth, but he'll be clean wealth because Jupiter is an ethical guru. Somebody has say Rahu in the 11th house, it'll be very rich. In fact, negative gurus. They are not negative. Cruel gurus in the 11th house bring tremendous amount of wealth, but they'll always be some corruption involved in. It is not going to be in fact understanding these things in a horoscope. You can look at a person's horoscope and see that easy amenable to corruption or not. Can you bribe this person or not? Even better than predicting what is going to happen later, horoscopes work even more powerfully in understanding the nature of the person. How is he going to react? If you know your fundamentals in Jyotish well, you can figure out. Speaker 2 If you have data on the person's date, time, and place of birth, you have some level of power over the person. Speaker 1 One way of looking at it that way. But nature is smarter than you. Remember this. Always. So nature is never going to give power to somebody who doesn't deserve it. There is a responsibility that comes in with Jyotish not to be misused, and if you start frivolously using it, after some time, your predictions, all of them will go wrong. Wow, you can try. You can mug up all the texts in the world. Still the art of prediction is something different. It will still will be key. Things are not going correct. So nature has its own way of balancing things. What is Sade Sati? Big boss is nature. Then after the 11th house, we come to the 12th house. 12th house is also sort of a negative house. Just like 6th and 8th, 12th there is something negative and then there is something positive also. In the negative sense, 12,000 represents things, hidden enemies you may have, hospitalization, long term diseases, secret relationships, okay which are not there in public, secretly, some affair or something going on, etc. On the positive side, 12,000 can represent meritative capacity. 12 dose is, it's like that part of the mind or that zone. It's also you're asleep, by the way. Yeah, so of those you're asleep. So looking at 12 dose, you can figure out whether a person dreams a lot, dreams less, good dreams, bad dreams, many things can you can figure out. And yes, meditative capacity. Whether you can meditate because meditation is also like sleep, except you're not losing consciousness completely. OK, you are being aware and you are going to a different zone. How far you can meditate or not depends on often very good meditators have very strong Grahers in the 12th, 1000. OK, so these are the 12 verses. Now we're done with the theory of astrology, yes? Speaker 2 Wow. And this is not even 1% of the subject. Speaker 1 No, no. There's lot of other things. Speaker 2 OK, at this point in the show, I have to ask you some FAQs, frequently asked questions. Alright. Let's talk about Sari Saathi. Speaker 1 So Sari Saathi is Saturn's transit over moon basically. So Saturn is what a very dry planet. As I told you it's very in that sense very disciplined planet. It's not an emotional planet. Moon is an emotional. Whenever these two come together more or less it is going to Causeway you pain OK because it's it's very diverse nature. As in, when it meets in your first house, No, no. Anywhere it meets that house, it will cause some pain. So if it meets in your House of spouse, it'll cause fights in your marriage if it meets fights or some other problem with the other. Speaker 2 If it meets in your career house, it'll cause career problems. Speaker 1 Yes, yes, OK OK, but this is the general in the horoscopic combination. But what is known as Sarisathi. Is that so? Now there are two aspects to the Grahers. One is that you are born with a certain combination of Grahers. Apart from that, the Grahers are always moving, transiting right through the Zodiac. So that is called as transit or Gochara. OK, so when the Grahers are, these two have to be combined together for predictions. When Saturn is passing over your moon, that is known as Sarisathi because Saturn takes 2 1/2 years to cross one Rashi. OK, so basically Saturn's influence starts even before it reaches your moon. What happens after taking up Monkhood? Which means, to give an example, we were talking about the 12 houses. Say say air is. Let's just say air is. Air is before air is you have Pisces and after it is you have torus. So somebody's moon is in areas. Suppose Saturn is passing through Pisces. It'll start its effect on the moon already 2 1/2 years of Pisces, then 2 1/2 years of areas, then 2 1/2 years of torus, 7 1/2 years it is going to influence the moon. That's why Saudi Sati. But it is not always bad. It's more of projection that has been done that it is very bad. Sometimes it will be bad and in some individuals it may not be bad. OK, it depends on multiple factors. Which is other planetary positions in your planetary positions? Fundamental strength of the horoscope? Suppose somebody's moon already has an influence of Saturn, which means that right from younger age only they are accustomed to getting beaten up by life. So there were Koi Farakni, Bharthaya Where ago? Tka Alexei. Should everyone learn about Astrology? It is not going to be worse than what is already there. So that's in a way of looking at our TK chill Koi Bhatni TK Suppose Syathy is running but your Dasha is positive Desha means. Now there is the other concept of time. Each of the Grahers get a certain time which it governs your life. OK, so your Desha is positive you'll find more or less positive results. Other you will not say they will not impact you that much. OK. Or if the moon is very strongly placed, you will have the ability to withstand whatever Saturn is teaching you. Speaker 2 OK. I have to ask you some more mystical questions as well. OK. If I take up Monk Hood a year from now, will my entire chart be turned upside down because I'm shedding off my identity and all that? Speaker 1 No, it's not that easy to get out of the gross. Gross will already indicate that whether you are taking up monk hood or not. OK, a person gets out of the influence of Gross at a very, very, very, very, very late stage. Speaker 2 In the spiritual journey. Speaker 1 In the spiritual journey, if you are a good, if you have good grasp of the subject and you have some blessings or some deities, or there are people like that you can figure out for a long part of the journey to go out of the influence of Grahers, yeah, it is possible. Concept of Kundali It comes at a much later stage, not the initial stages. Speaker 2 OK, so effectively for the average human, what should be the approach towards astrology according to you? After studying astrology so much, should you even be knowing your future? Speaker 1 That depends on you I think for see even this is also interesting question. You can see a chart and say that whether this person will be able to learn astrology or not. Speaker 2 No. Speaker 1 In terms of should everyone even be getting the charts read right? So in terms of when there is a difficulty, it is good to have some amount of guidance from it. But also understand that don't go into specific details of it. Specific details means astrology has this problem of weakening the mind also in some cases, which means once you take some reading so you will feel for every small thing you will think that OK, let's just check the chart. No, it doesn't work that way. Look at a broad perspective. Broad perspective means OK, I am running this particular graph. These are the themes related to my chart which will work for the next few years. This broad idea you have. Then you use your own natural intelligence and hard work and work. Do not, do not some people have that. It's a weakness of the mind. Every day morning you go and open your chart and see what is going to happen. That is all nonsense, so that will weaken the mind. Astrology is very good if used in the right degree. Speaker 2 When they do your Kundali matching before marriage, what is actually happening? Are you superimposing the two charts on each other? Speaker 1 No, kind of. But basically you see what is the level of compatibility at in using various parameters. Multiple parameters are there. OK, some parameters are whether there's a mental compatibility, whether there is a family wise compatibility, because marriage is considered not just at least when these were devised. So marriage is not just about two individuals, it's like 2 families coming together. So if sometimes it may show that there may be lack of compatibility among the families. OK. Physical compatibility between the individuals, whether there is a support system and then there are few other factors which are more mystical in nature which shows that OK, is this union going to bring forth positive result in terms of children and other things and growth these so all these things are taken into account. That's one aspect of it. But that is not a final aspect. Final aspect means in my experience what is the standard matching of horoscopes is not enough. Apart from that there are also some other techniques to find out whether there is a certain level of compatibility or not possible. It becomes very crucial to do that today because unlike past we have the option of divorces here. Past there is no divorces, so you get married. You are like stuck in there more or less. OK, today people get married after a few years and not even that. Less than that things don't match. You move out. OK, so therefore accordingly understanding also has to change and have a more, you know according so. Is it possible to Shift our Chart? So whether there is a certain degree of compatibility in the graphs that also has to be checked. There's never going to be, by the way, a perfect compatibility that doesn't happen. Speaker 2 Have you seen a marriage where there is a bad compatibility theoretically according to the Kundli, but then it ends up in a good marriage. Is that possible or it's unlikely? Speaker 1 So it depends on what you mean by a good marriage. Speaker 2 Isn't it like they rate it on a score of 34 or 3636? Yeah, and then above a certain point also is not good. And then below certain point is also not good. Speaker 1 You just so that that's exactly what I was telling in the previous one, which is the previous answer I was saying. So this is the we call the guna matching. What are the Guna's gonna qualities? Basically of matching, etc. It's like the mathematics of compatibility, yeah, but it is not foolproof. OK, I have seen cases where people have had low scores but they have had good, more or less good. No one, no marriage is perfect, ever Okay but more or less good and they're doing good. Whereas I've seen cases where the matching has shown very high scores but it did not last. That's why I say that that is not enough. There is to be a basic also. Checking of the condition of the graphers and how they kind of superimpose the chart with its own techniques and all are there so that gives them more deeper clarity whether these two individuals are fit to be together. Gemstones and Crystals How much does intense levels of Tantra shift your entire chart? Speaker 1 No, nothing shifts your entire chart. OK? That idea that you take it out of the head. Speaker 2 First, it is going to be. Speaker 1 I have not seen anybody being able to change their entire chart. What Not just antra. Let's make it more genetic so spiritual practices you can. Here is the thing, if you have reached a level where you have developed a connection with your ista Devatha. Whoever it is proper connection, not just theoretical, make them proper connection. Then the Ista devatha has a far higher intelligence than you. He or she will guide you through those times which no astrologer can guide ever. That is a way of. So it is not that the karmas are vanishing the karmic momentum, that thing is coming towards you. But the Easter Devatha knows how to bypass this. You have bodyguard then more of them. It's like a you have surrendered to that devatha. They will take care. It comes to the same thing as I mentioned Rama Krishna Params was giving an example that suppose somebody's leg is supposed to be cut because of some karmic thing or accident or something like that. He does a lot of sadhana instead of cutting the leg. There may be just a pin prick that karma is getting nullified. OK, this level, however, is not easy. It can only come when the Easter day that takes control of a person's life. And that is not at all easy. It's. Speaker 2 What about astrology, TV shows and channels that talk about wearing gemstones or even crystals like these? These are loosely related to astrology. What is the role of crystals, gemstones and all in like changing your? Behavioral patterns or your story. Speaker 1 So fundamentally astrology has this other aspect. That is, I was talking about the pariharam or the upaya, the remedial measures. If there is something that is problematic, first of all, whether it can be remedied and what is the best way to remedy that. Among the remedial measures that are possible, there are multiple things. Worship of date is specific mantras to be done, specific activities to be performed or wearing of specific gemstones related to the grass. Now which of these remedies are going to work for individual? That is for the astrology to determine. OK, it is not necessary for everybody to wear these gemstones, neither is it. In some cases it will work very well. So that that judgment has to be done by the person who is looking at the horoscope. Speaker 2 Crystals entered my life very organically naturally, and I've gotten really into them lately. Speaker 1 Is it because of something in my charts that came samnesi possible? Speaker 2 Is there any logic like if you buy too many crystals, you're playing too much with your karmas? Speaker 1 No, no. So first of all, don't worry about playing with the karmas and all that. Those things are whatever is to like like a particular amount of particular momentum of events that are supposed to happen kind of going to happen anyway that is going to come. So that get that idea very clear in your head first. OK that is not going to specifically if there is something that is going to Causeway a strong impact on your consciousness that is sort of prefixed as an individual. What you can do is that how do you prepare yourself for it. So it is not that bringing too many crystals are going to Causeway anything bad. I mean, I have not dealt with crystals too much gemstones and all is fine, but crystals I haven't dealt so I am. I do not think that there is anything negative that is going to happen if you know what you are doing and what you are dealing with. And I believe that crystals can hold energies. I think somebody who is more into crystals may be able to explain better, but I don't think it is one way or the other. It is not going to shift your karma so easily unless and here is again coming back to the three types of karma that I've told you. If there are Adrira Karmas, there are weak karmas, etc. Jyotish Sadhna Those two you can shift through these things. But remember that which is a Jira karma in a horoscope, anybody's horoscope, that nothing can change, nothing in the world will change. That is, you have to go through that. Speaker 2 I mean, again, I keep boiling myself back down to this deity question and Tantra question. It's not easy to spiritually progress. That's one thing I figured you need. Discipline, Hard work, Willpower, Yes. You're earning all that spiritual progress to so much willpower and discipline. It doesn't shift anything. Speaker 1 Next life it'll shift. Speaker 2 So only only for next life you're preparing right now. Speaker 1 Take these are not things of 1 lifetime. Speaker 2 It's like that student who is working hard for an exam that's two days away, thinking that I'll make my day tomorrow easier. I'll just revise tomorrow, but I'll finish my portion today. Speaker 1 Yeah, it's it's not necessarily going to bring you the right results. So you have to take expand your understanding of the time skills in our system for jyotesh and this and then karma, it is not so death is not the end. So you are carrying forward some things from here, and the practices you are doing are modifying what is what you're going to get the next time, OK? Specifically when there are fixed karmas that cannot be changed. So this is the way to go about. It do you think we've missed out anything in this conversation on Jyotish? Yeah, 90% is left. Speaker 2 Let's talk about Jyotish sadhnas. Speaker 1 You said that even a good Jyotish has to follow certain spiritual disciplines, right? So today most of them don't. OK, almost nobody who is into Jyotish does any kind of zada nigatha sadhna and all that. But in a previous era, there used to be the norm that before you start reading charts and all that, you start getting some connection to some dating, OK And that helps you in specifically there are going to be horoscopes. So there are going to be things which are going to be tricky. When it is tricky, then see, this is what I told you is the logic. But after this, there are many things to be weighed in the chart, right? So that is not a particularly scientific, that's not mathematical. It's something that organically intuitively you have to determine that these are the these are the positive, this is the negative. So where does it weigh? Is it going to be finally positive or finally negative? Key that governing capacity is an individual's capacity. Same horoscope you give to 10 people. It's if it's a slightly tricky horoscope, they may come with 10 different interpretations of it. So which is the right one there? You need some inspiration from some date here. That's why previously it used to be today's time. I would say that if somebody is interested in Jyotish, one of the best things to do is worship Ganpati. He has the knowledge and he has the if you blesses somebody you will learn Jyotish. If you have the basics you are meant to learn, then Ganpati is the best date. On the best date is to worship, but not the only date. Speaker 2 Why did you get into it? Speaker 1 I was just curious. Someday I remember somebody, somebody gave the chart and somebody gave some readings and all that. So I just thought that let's see what is there in it. So I bought some books and started reading and after that I started predicting just like that. And slowly, slowly it knowledge, accumulated practice. That's how it started. Speaker 2 OK. What sadhnas should those professional astrologers be doing right now? Speaker 1 So most of them that I have met do not do any sadhnas. So there I feel that their correct prediction, Volume of correct prediction, many factors are there. Their own horoscopes are also there. What their own horoscopes are also there. Suppose an astrologer is passing through a bad time. He may know everything, but his predictions are going to all fail. OK, OK, so I feel that generally, as I mentioned, the worship of Ganpati is very good. If not Ganpati, then if you have an Ishta devatha whom you connect to some even little bit of connection, then it's good to worship that deity and it will build up a stronger chance of success in predicting. Finally, the end of the day, Jyotish is about prediction. You may know all the theory and your predictions may all go wrong. Then it's not much useful, right? So it's a way of divination. OK, a palmistry and face reading related subjects to Jyotish. Yeah, Palmistry is related to Jyotish in some senses. So your palm does have some those who know Palmistry. They can figure out how the graphs are placed really. Wow, do you know Palmistry A little bit? Speaker 2 Really. You know my chart. So by seeing my hand, do you see parallels? Speaker 1 No, no, I will not go into the specifics of it. No that I will. That's not. Yeah, But yeah, Phamistry can give you some hint, but there are other things also Jyotish is I rely more on Jyotish than on Phamistry if needed. But Jyotish has this other aspects as I mentioned to you Murtha and there is something called a Prashna that's very interesting. Speaker 2 What is Prashna? Speaker 1 Question is suppose you have a question and you are serious about the question. OK, not not a frivolous question, but seriously, something is bothering you etc. You may not have your birth date and all that. It can still be answered because the moment that question comes in your head and you decide to take help from somebody, you approach somebody. I have this doubt. I have this question. The grass at that moment at that place. It's like a birth chart, time, place and that date. These three at that moment will give you an answer key. What is? What is the answer to that question? Is it positive? Negative. Will it workout? Will not workout? What are the obstacles? What time? Everything. Damn, that is Prashna and specifically in South in Kerala, lot of texts were created on Prashna and fantastic texts are there great texts are there Prashna Tantra. They call it so many things. Everything can be. In fact, whenever there's a doubt in the horoscope, not just doubt, here's the other thing, just somebody in the horoscope, for example, is your accumulated karmas from past, right? So there are certain astrologers who will suppose you approach them, but it has to be done. In seriousness, that's what I say. Astrology should not be frivolous key. I get up in the morning and have nothing to do and I just open some chart. No, if you really need help at that time only you should approach an astrologer or use astrology if you're if you know that thing. So you open your birth horoscope but at the same time look at the grass in the sky. Compare this two. That will tell you that whether you have in this life you have done positive things or negative things. Speaker 2 You said that if you have a burning desire to know something important and you go to a good Jyotish, he will look up at the sky, basically, which is the astrological chart, and he'll be able to predict time, which means time and space are always connected in terms of your life, and its outcomes and results will be a result of what point in your timeline you're at. Speaker 1 But you'll get a trailer and a preview by looking at the stars and the velvet designs around you, yes? So if I understand what you're saying correctly. So yes, at any given point, if you approach the astrologer with a specific burning question in your head at that moment, the condition of the Grahers, where they're placed in which Rashi, etc. Treated like a birth chart at that moment. Looking at the Grahers, you can figure out that whether that specific thing that you have in mind, whether it will, what is the outcome of that positive negative, how much time it will require, what needs to be done, etc. Bhagavad Gita Everything you can find out. Speaker 2 Makes me think even more that we're living inside a simulation, which we are according to spiritual theory that we've spoken about in all these other episodes, and astrology is basically God's. We are giving you a hint about what's going to happen in your version of the simulation in the near or far future. Speaker 1 Yeah, depends on how you define God. The universe, the universe, the universe is like a software. Universe is like a software. So constantly there's a feedback loop. Everything that you're doing is getting fed into that whatever algorithm it has, and it's churning out that, OK, yeah, you're doing this. So this is the outcome that is going to come. This is the it's constantly real time. It's happening OK, which means that what actions you perform can also modify it if you give it a certain amount of time, and that time is not always in one, lift him. Speaker 2 I have a friend who's recently started studying the Bhagavad Gita, OK through classes and she's not so into spirituality. So I actually wanted to know what she picked up from the Bhagavad Gita. Like what's the basic understanding? She said that the Gita says that there's actually no such thing as good or bad. We look at it as good or bad based on our conditioning and our stories till that point. The universe is just reacting to your karma's so effectively. What you're meant to do in the present moment is just try being a good person and try getting more spiritualized. Speaker 1 It basically boils under that because you can't help what's going to happen to it because it's happened in your past and you might look at it as a bad event, but it's actually just an outcome of what you've done in the past already, my view. Speaker 2 No, please. Speaker 1 That's why I'm bringing up SO again, slight deviation from what exactly you asked. So whenever somebody tells me that Geeta says this first question asks, tell me the sloka. OK, because the Geeta is the most popular book. Also is the most abused book. Really, people have their own understanding fed into the Geeta Geeta every bowler. Finally to Ekdin Pradachalaka Geeta. Many one book will have for everything. Geeta is wonderful text, but Geeta is not at all an easy text. People have made it easy because they have owned their own understandings. Also, they're fed into because first of all, nobody knows. Most people don't know Sanskrit. They read commentaries, commentaries, Kavi commentaries, and then they add up things and pick up 1-2 slow cuts from here and there and make up an idea. Geeta Maybe it's saying that Geeta says a lot of things about a lot of things. By the way, Geeta is a progression from chapter one to chapter 18. It is a progression. You cannot suddenly randomly pick up one verse from here and one verse from there In one place Krishna tells Arjuna that you have to go beyond the Vedas because the Vedas are three gunas. Again at I think 16th or 17th chapter he says the person who does not follow the Shastras, what is written in the Sriti and Smriti and Sruti which is the Vedas and the Vedanga and the Dharma Shastra etc. Is acting out of its free will and is mostly deluded. So one place is saying go beyond the Vedas, other place is saying that everything is the Vedas. Thank you for Watching How do you reconcile these two unless you ask this question, reconciliation. Anyway this is going to a time zone. It's a very terrific text, but it's also a text that to to imbibe it correctly. I feel that both at a spiritual and an intellectual level, it requires a certain degree of practice, maturity and other things are involved in it, so it's fantastic. So anyway, whenever somebody tells it, Geeta says this first question I ask is that please tell me which sloka is telling this. Then I can answer you because you might think that the Geeta is saying this. I might read the sloka and find a different meaning out of it in the context of the other verses. OK, because it's not that one verse has to be taken out of context. There's a reason why he says all. He speaks of Moksha I think in the 4th or 5th chapter. But it doesn't stop the Geeta there. No, he could have just said Arjuna at in Moksha. Everything is over after that. Also, there are other things going on. Speaker 2 I think this is the end of the episode. Speaker 1 Is there anything we've missed out on SO on Jyotish? Speaker 2 Anything that you'd like to mention? Speaker 1 Learn Jyotish. Respect Jyotish. Do not abuse Jyotish. Lot of people abused Jyotish. Abuse of Jyotish is every day, morning, wake up and see what is there in my horoscope. That's an abuse of the vidya. It's a very powerful vidya. It is more powerful than intuitions and other things. I've seen people with intuitions, they're good. But if you have trust on Jyotish, it's a vidya. That vidya has to come to you. Once it comes to you then, and you respect that vidya by not being frivolous about it, do not just open your chart just like that randomly. Yakoy Dostaki Bolrano. Earlier times, the astrologers who were really careful, they were also deeply spiritual. So they would specific days they'll sit, you know, they'd expect the person who's coming to come with a certain degree of calmness. You take a bath and you, you know, like you go to a spiritual place like that. You just didn't wake up and kuch phone kar ke edi. And those days it used to happen that you have to be physically present in front of the astrology because today the phones and all are there. It's so powerful an art. I don't call it a science. It's an art, So powerful an art. The way you come into the room, the way you sit, the which part of the body you are touching. By that only already I have an understanding which grava is influencing you. If I'm good with my knowledge of the basics and if I have some blessings of the deities, then there is another part. I forgot to mention this. There's another astrology which is very very powerful. It's called the Devaprashna. It's down in in South. It's quite popular and N it's very rare. Devaprashna means how do you know the will of a deity in a temple? Speaker 2 How do you know the will of a deity in a temple? Speaker 1 Yes, you can know that. Definitely there are. There's a there's a huge astrological exercise that is done. Not everybody can do it. People who are trained in it can do it. Deva prashna they call it. It can go on for days. Speaker 2 You mean a particular temple? What is that temple's purpose? Speaker 1 No. Then the Devatha in the temple, if you go, say you go to Tirupathi, there's Lord Venkateshwara inside. If you go to Kashi Kashi Vishwa Insight, what do you think? Is there just a Vikram? No, there is a data present there. Speaker 2 And what is the data thinking? Speaker 1 What is the data want? What is his or her will? And in South that is very commonly done in great temples and everything you can ask. You may even ask a lot of questions. You may put a lot of questions you may put. And that questions will tell you various answers to what to do, what not to do. I know a specific case of an individual friend of mine. They had a temple and I think they were Vishnavas. So this is very interesting. I love this episode. So they had the some things were going on South. They invited one of the most knowledgeable people and one of the most advanced people to do a Devaprishna. So he came with his team and all that and he sits there all it's a Vishnava setting. They're all Vishnavas and all that. And there's a small boy. So he just calls that boy and says that randomly take a name of the God you like best. And this boy says Shiva, Who knows why he says Shiva, Everybody is like little stunt because it's completely they don't, you know, engage with other details. And then the Deva Breshna starts one after the other, one after the. From that point it's like a limit. It's a sign because they started with certain kinds of they have their own. So people who do engage in these type of Jyodesha are spiritual people. Ordinary Jyodesha cannot do these things. OK So as the Devaprasna keeps going on, he finds out more and more about Shiva. Its turning out Shiva and then says that in your family there is some Shiva temple that is there which is being neglected and that is causing all these issues. The deity is not happy. Then they found that yes there was a Shiva temple that was given. They were given to take care of which was not taken properly and neglected. And then they build certain things based on the prashna, certain tanks, a couple of other things, specific poojas and all were done and the issues started getting all resolved and things like that. Deva Prashna is a way to know the will of the deity in the temple. Across the boundary of this universe, no. It is more or less so. What is a deity in a temple? A devatha sedate is gods. We have Shiva in the universe but we also have the Jodhil Lingus. So a portion of Shiva's energy which is as divine, same tattu comes and resides there for the benefit of humanity. OK, It's resides in the Shiva Lingus and we do worship of it. We benefit from it within a certain geographical area. It will have its influence because the ultimate the cosmic Shiva. Out of his own kindness he comes in because not everybody can connect to that Shiva na. So he he comes in in the Jyothi Lingas in the other places with tremendous amount of power so that ordinary people can benefit from there. But the power has still some geographical limitations within which it works OK. In fact, having temples of deities who are worshipped in certain places built in the right manner and it cements sort of the positive energy of that place and ensures that negativity or things are reduced. Speaker 2 I just wanted this to be an astrology 101 for people to kind of understand what's going on in Eastern astrology because there's a big. Upsurge in the popularity of Western astrology. I think people from all over the world do turn to India when we talk about these metaphysical right subjects, right? So I hope that this piece that we've created finds its way to the rest of the world as well. So, right? Hope so. Speaker 1 Do you think we did justice to? Yeah, at least at the starting point. It's good. Like, this is the ABC's of astrology, yeah? Speaker 2 Rajasheen and this again. Thank you. Thank you. Looking forward to another episode with you. Yeah. Speaker 1 Thank you so much. Speaker 2 So that was the episode for today. I want to make a lot more episodes about astrology, so if you have guest recommendations, please let me know. Tell me what you thought about this Slightly Hatke TRS episode. There are more episodes with Rajashi Nandi that will be released very, very soon, so stay tuned for some more epic TRS episodes. And please keep sending in your guest suggestions. We'll be back very soon, everyone.
