-Extract from Jyotisha-siddhanta-sara By Rama.R.Rao
An interesting and imaginative analysis of the concepts underlyingHindu astrology on the basic of Vedantic and Sankhyan ideology hasbeen furnished by Sri B.S. Gopalakrishna of Madikeri. He has visual-ized the positions of planets in three successive stages:

1. Before creation 2. Poised for creation and 3. After creation. Inthe first stage, the planets are in their own houses, in perfect equilib-rium. There is no action and therefore no effects. In the second stage,the planets move from their houses to occupy their Moolatrikona po-sitions, poised for the act of creation.

In the following  English translation of Hindi commentary done by Pt. SitaRam Jha on  last part of verse 19-  ch-1 of brahat jataka of Varahmihira relating to raashi Maan, words given in small brackets are not part of hindi text by Shri Jha but added by me to make literal translation more understandable.It is somewhat explanatory translation retaining the original import a far as possible.

For years, every astrologer has tried to decode his works knowing full well that verses written in Varahamihiras books were all coded. Few hundred years back Bhattotpala decoded only few chapters of Varahamihiras Brihat Jataka & most authors have taken that as the basis for further commentaries. In modern times it was noticed that many scholars themselves did not know how many works Varahamihira & what is below is piecing together of fragments of information.

Dear Friends,

Namaste

You all are the ones who have asked for the Free Gomed stones, most probably tomorrow the lot will be drawn and by this weekend the winners will be intimated.

At this stage would like to clarify a few points though this mail was due few days back. There is no specific reason why Mr Narhari decided to donate the gem stones, he is in gem stone business and this was his first lot of stones that he bought when he started his business from scratch, though his is a successful business he has not advertised on our magazine nor even wished that his name be mentioned in the first place. Our own intention was that those who are in need should get it, nothing else and nothing more and infact we are now feeling why in the first place did we offer such a free scheme.

On the auspicious occasion of Datta Jayanti (1st Dec 2009), the day of Lord Dattatreya who is
considered the Guru of Gurus and a Guru avatar of Brahma, Vishnu, Maheshwara, this issue of the
magazine which is a 922 odd page volume is being placed at the holy feet of Late Shri C.S.Patel who
started the movement of removing rare shlokas from unknown manuscripts and presenting it in english for
the benefit of the astrological world and hope that the injustice done to him by publishers of magazines and
books at that time is healed to some extent now. By honoring such a gifted soul who did not have any guru
or parampara or organisation or great money behind him one only exemplifies that even you can also
become a C.S.Patel of Jyotish if you work honestly without craving for position, money or fame but have
true concern of helping the jyotish community and not just for name sake.

Lomesh Amsha Padhdhati. (LAP-1)

BOD January 6, 1978; 07.10.00; Valsad, India, 72e56 & 20n38 (+5.30 east).

The native has had his first love affair in the early 1997-98. Mother denied the girl for marriage. His mother died on 5^th July, 1997. Immediately after the death of mother the native is mentally depressed and beginning to drink alcohol. He came in close contact with the neighbor a married girl who tried to balance him and the native has his first sex in 1999 with this married girl. Still the native is unmarried keeping relation with this married female.

Being lagna amsa 19.26, I have taken 19-21 year for the native and it is suitable. Lagna in Mercury slot placed in house of bed pleasure with Moon the significator of secret sex. LL Jupiter is in 7H of serious relations in Gemini indicating neighbor. Lagna is occupied by Sun-Venus.

In 25^th year he has his first job.

BSP_1 /Wherever Saturn sits he creates Ups & Down in the 4th house from it, in minimum any one signification of that house/ Working.

BSP_2 / Wherever Jupiter sits he creates Ups & Down in the 10th & 6th house from it, in at least one signification of that house/ Working.

BSP-23 Chandra 7H from Chandra is 6^th whose lord Venus is in Lagna. Maamaa of the native was in USA and he married to a girl but could not be able to take her with him for 6-8 moths and she was living with native’s family. She established some intimacy with his father of the native and convinces him to marry his elder sister. Incidentally mother died on 5^th July, 1997 and the father of the native married with elder sister of his Maami and native leave his house permanently and went to his Mausi’s house and till the date living there.

One of the most ignored concepts today is the usage of Hora Lagna that has been mentioned in traditional as well as Jaimini Astrology. Most of the members of internet forums know that Hora Lagna is to be used only for timing wealth but this is far from truth & becomes an eye opener if one goes through the text of Suka Jatakam by Suka Rishi. Following is the verse from the said manuscript and our interpretation is an attempt. If there is mistake kindly point out and forgive.

hore care'rkasaṁ the janmeśe vāpi saumyadṛgadhīne |
kendragataiḥ pāpaiḥ syājjātakasya viṁśatermṛtyuḥ ||2||

śukajātakam,Chapter 5, Shloka 2

If Hora Asc is in Chara Rasi (Moveable Sign) and Sun is with Hora Asc Or Ascendant
Lord not aspected by a benefic planet and malefic planets is in quadrants (kendra) to Asc
then native will die at the age of 20.

This is theory part and scribe dislike philosophies since these days any creative mind in astrology comes up with some theory or the other without support of shlokas. We have seen many Paramparas come up with absurd philosophy and many Indian gurus based abroad come up with any kind of logic and love inserting words like souls movement, the soul feels so and so in such and such rasi or nakshatra.

All this sells very nicely to modern Indian/foreigner who can be easily fooled and even if they know its wrong but they look for structured course material so that they can teach it further and make money. Anyways today we decide to go against our rule of philosophies and post something that we learnt from a rare unpublished work of a yogi. The book is not important but maybe the message from it and correcting our karma is important. At one point of time this scribe had used this technique successfully in his life but now he is unable to do it.
