EDITOR’S NOTE Dear Readers,

capable of. Hence, individuals who have attained a certain level of ascetism are deeply admired. What makes an individual ascetic in nature? Archit Saxena, very simplistically explains the planetary positions that lead to ascetism, supported by quick references to charts of some renowned spiritual gurus.

In this edition, The Astrological eMagazine family offers its reverential pranam to the lotus feet of our Kula Guru Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji on the sacred occasion of his 71st Vardhanti. It is a great honour to write and read about the reverential life story of Mahaswamiji that is filled with countless nuggets of wisdom and lessons for common man.

Talking of Sanyasa Yoga, One-faced Rudraksha is blessed with the energy of Lord Shiva. Hence it gives liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Individuals on spiritual path are advised to wear a one-faced Rudraksha to get the bliss of Lord Shiva. Dr. Rudra Prasanna Mohapatra shares his knowledge about this rare Rudraksha and advises on who should wear this and its impact on the wearer.

As we speak, our country is under massive attack of the second wave of the deadly Coronavirus that is lashing out livelihoods and lives. With 4 lakh new cases emerging daily, the pandemic has taken a toll on every support system of the country. The variants of the deadly virus are mutating at a rapid rate and has completely taken the healthcare system under its control. Our Senior Editor, Raman Suprajarama presents a thoroughly researched article with deep analysis taking into consideration two different angles – Data Science and Vedic Astrology. Both are profound sciences that deal with large data being collected in a systematic and scientific manner, which are further modelled and analysed to make predictions. The article further takes into consideration the planetary positions during some of the recent epidemics and pandemics. With the patterns emerging out of the analysis of past events and planetary positions, the author provides analysis of possibilities of a Covid-19 third wave in the near future. Another analysis by Dr. M. R. Badarinath gives a glimpse of how Uranus is impacting the timeline of the pandemic. He carefully predicts the impact of the virus to slow down only after 10th June when planet Uranus moves to Mercury leaving Venus.

Another important aspect is our mental health, which is deeply governed by the emotions and thoughts we breed. The Ephemeris provides daily aspects of the Moon’s nodes that are read with natal aspects. The Moon’s nodes (also known as Dragon’s Head and Tail) determine behaviour pattern that could be distractive for progress. Wally Krause shares information of all possible negative influences of Moon’s nodes with respect to each planet on the behavioural traits of a native. It is advised to keep the negative traits at bay and replace them with positive ones. Lastly, the world will experience the second annual eclipse on June 10, 2021 which is the Solar eclipse. R S Maniam shares his knowledge on the impact of the eclipse for India and its overall leadership. We end with the monthly features with the most awaited predictions for your Moon signs, Ephemeris and Calendar for the month of June.

Detecting health and diseases early can be of some respite. Ayurveda is another precise and comprehensive science for determining one’s physical and psychological well-being. Like data science, even Ayurveda and Astrology are deeply connected with each other – and it deals with diving into the data related to physical attributes of an individual. K V N Savan Kumar throws light on the inter connectedness of Astrology and Ayurveda with a special focus on using Ayurvedic Astrology in predicting and curing neurological diseases. An Ayurvedacharya should always keep in account celestial bodies in the sky and combine this with his perfect knowledge of Ayurveda to know the exact depth of disease and the time it will take to cure.

RAHU AND KETU ROLE ON NEGATIVE BEHAVIOUR

MUNDANE ASTROLOGY

Wally Krause She has been involved in astrology for over 35 years and has concentrated on difficult charts, medical issues, complicated behaviour problems, mundane astrology and character identification for new born. She has lived in Germany, Italy, South Africa and USA. Her 480 page hardcover book entitled “Understanding the Power of Astrology” “An inside into the Motivation of the Mind” was written in 2008 and published in 2013 by GYAN PUBLISHING HOUSE in India. www.gyanbooks.com. It is available on Amazon in several countries or directly from the publisher.

The Ephemeris provides daily aspects of the Moon’s Nodes that are read with natal aspects. The Moon’s Nodes (also known as Rahu or Dragon’s Head and Ketu or Dragon's Tail) determine behaviour pattern that could be distractive for progress.

create loss and setbacks. The emotions are not under control and allow for unwise speech antagonizing others and hinder progress in life. Popularity may be lost and advancement will be hindered. If the natal Moon and its Nodes are in a bad position, like square or opposition, the effect is enhanced and caution is necessary in life. The emotions are affected by setbacks, hurt and disappointment. Personal pride may stand in the way of acknowledging mistakes made. Unwise friendships and associations may create a boomerang effect that may linger long afterwards. If this aspect is also very bad with other planets at transit the result on the personal prestige maybe disastrous and create massive losses.

Herein listed are the negative influences of the nodes on the behaviour pattern of a person. (Of course if the position is very good at birth, positive influences will help further success in life) When applying the aforementioned principles please consider the house position and sign that the planets and nodes are occupying at birth. This principle provides for an easy method to make the client understand the impediment and delays he/she is experiencing in order to find a solution and advance in life.

Mercury to Dragon’s Head and Tail (Nodes) It will be very difficult and frustrating to obtain recognition in life. It may become difficult to apply study and learned experiences. Rewards gained from education will be minor compare to the efforts extended. A wrong line of thought, errors of judgment and unwillingness to address mistakes made create a tendency to always blame others and to ignore the actual mistakes made by the native. The ego is out of control and tries to escape from personal responsibility and consequences of actions. Carelessness is covered up and evasion is practiced.

Sun to Dragon’s Head and Tail (Nodes)

It will affect the emotions, prestige, reputation and standing in life. The native’s own actions and circumstances through other people bring enmity and resentment. If a high position is inherited or obtained in life there is danger of a fall affecting the social position as well as income ability of the native. Unwise and impulsive actions and failure to see the implication of circumstances bring unwanted reactions. It can hinder developments of hopes and wishes

detriment. It may never be a good idea to rely on the promises of others or behave in an impulsive way and cause disappointment and distraction by not taking the time to consider all angles of the issue. It produces mistrust. It also produces sometimes silly actions either by the native or his partner that creates mistrust and doubt. This interferes with harmony and feelings preventing a progress in the relationship. It provides for difficulties in obtaining money and credit.

any gain. Incidents bring unexpected actions of others that disturb affairs and create feelings of tension and strain. Social and public affairs are subject to sudden changes. If in bad aspect with other natal or transiting planets it could lead to bankruptcy or other unfavorable conditions that are not easily overcome.

Neptune to Dragon’s Head and Tail (Nodes) A loss of honor and prestige is indicated. The native or his friends may take personal unfair advantage or get involved in trickery and schemes of deception. Gossip and trickery may affect the path in life. Beware of sharing your thoughts too freely with others and keep your intentions private as there is a tendency to breach of confidentiality that affects the affairs through selfish advantages of others. Avoid going after easy money as it can create underworld conditions and involvement in crime.

Mars to Dragon’s Head and Tail (Nodes) Unwise, impulsive and hasty speech or decisions are said and done that affect and injure the personal prestige and reputation. Hastiness, lack of caution and the inability to notice when offence is being given to others will damage relationships. Personal opinions and decisions are made prior to considering all the facts and the attitude to always be ‘right’ brings disasters, losses and breaking conditions into the life, that are not desired. It creates doubt that will not easily be overcome. The taking of risks must be controlled against the possible outcome before hand or things to awry and lead to losses and injuries.

Don’t be associated with interests that are not straightforward as it may lead to loss of money and freedom. Be realistic and don’t allow the mind to escape via alcohol and drugs in order to avoid reality.

Pluto to Dragon’s Head and Tail (Nodes)

Jupiter to Dragon’s Head and Tail (Nodes)

The beginning of life is associated with bad conditions either in the family or surroundings. Only by leaving those conditions as soon as possible will progress be obtained. If no changes are made, it furthers a bad character and struggle against society. Society per se will bring hazards and temptation to unwise actions. The prospect of destruction and struggle in life is enhanced.

A longing to be always ‘right’ to satisfy the emotions gives a pomposity that, at times, may be nauseating. Faulty judgments affect the native and cause unanticipated losses. Rejecting good advice may be repented later on when trouble has developed. Possibly problems with credit and other monetary matters will come along. Sometimes there is blindness towards practical matters as grandiose ideas are preferred to a simple solution. Relying on luck may not create the outcome desired. Care and prudent consideration is necessary when getting involved in lawsuits. Long distance travel or immigration may create unwanted difficulties.

Doubt and feelings of uncertainty influence the emotions. Upsets in regard to affection, as in marriage or other relationships, will destroy any harmony. The emotions are always on the edge. Power games and use of force are applied to get ahead creating a distracting circle that undermines relationships which pass out never to be resumed again.

Saturn to Dragon’s Head and Tail (Nodes) This requires struggle against adversity, prejudice, domination or stronger personalities. Enmity will be incurred through wrong personal actions. A frustrating aspect as it hinders recognition in life. It also applies to delays and hindrance in desired progress. Dealing with bosses or home affairs provide for worrying conditions.

By just applying the Moon’s Nodes at birth, and by advanced age in progression, the client can be made aware of and prevent a lot of unpleasant experiences in life. We are all creatures of habits. So, bad habits must be replaced with good ones in order to advance.

HOROSCOPE ANALYSIS

DIAGNOSING NEUROLOGICAL DISORDERS IN A HOROSCOPE K. V. N. Savan Kumar K V N Savan Kumar, is working in IT company for 12+ years as Engineering Manager. As an enthusiast and with a passion towards Astrology, he llearnt astrology and is practicing the same from 10+ years. From ICAS, he completed BA-CH1. He then completed Jyothish Praveena and pursuing visharada-2. He has enrolled himself for a Ph. D in Medical Astrology and is working as a research scholar.

Introduction

factors of the chart, then disease could be chronic or fatal depending on the intensity of the chart of the total configuration. One should never run away from life and on the contrary learn to face it boldly. In the realms of multi universes the sojourn of soul is infinite, and nobody has the right to leave it in midway.

Ayurveda and astrology are deeply connected with each other. Astrology deals with the karmic process of man and to get rid of the cycle of birth and death it is very important to have a sound body and mind only then one can reach out his/her soul. Ayurveda emphasizes that primarily there are three doshas (tridosha) and any imbalance in the basic attributes of these three evils (dosha) leads to various diseases. These doshas are known as Vata (wind), Pitta (heat) and Kapha (phlegm). In astrology lagna, Sun and Moon correspond to Vata, Pitta and Kapha. Primarily lagna or ascendant deals with body or general strength and weakness of the person. Sun of course deals with Pitta or heat and Kapha is represented by Moon. These are the basics of both the subjects. As we go deeper into the nature of the disease and its consequences then one must take care of many more factors into account. Charaka Samhita is a famous grantha (text) on Ayurveda written long back by the legendary physician Charaka. In his book he says an Ayurvedacharya, while attending to a new patient should always keep in account celestial bodies in the sky and combine this with his perfect knowledge of Ayurveda to know the exact depth of disease and the time it will take to cure.

What are Neurological Diseases?

The manifestations of neurological diseases depend on how and which part of the nervous system is affected – the central or peripheral, or there are combined disorders. The central part includes both brains – the cerebrum and the spinal cord. They process information regarding what is happening in the body, as well - they control and coordinate all its reactions and functions. This applies both to the organism in an internal aspect and to its contacts with the environment. This is implemented with the help of the peripheral part of the nervous system. It is a continuation of the cerebrum and includes the nerves in the organism, their splits/cervical, shoulder, lumbar and other/and nodes/ganglion. Through them, brain impulses are transmitted to the limbs and various organs, and feedback is returned.

Neurological diseases are disorders that may occur at any place in this chain. The cerebrum, for example, may become inflamed, as the meningitis is an inflammation of the outer layer, and encephalitis – inflammation of the brain matter itself. Many other diseases are associated with the cerebrum – atherosclerosis, depression, phobia, epilepsy, autism, personality disorders and so on. The most common inflammations of the peripheral part of the nervous system are radiculitis and plexitis, which may be in the cervical, chest or waist area, as the pain block the movement of the hands or legs. One nerve may be affected, and this condition is called neuritis, and if a few nerves are affected, it is called polyneuritis.

In astrology, 6th house and its lord indicates disease, 8th house and its lord denotes the longevity of the disease and 2nd house and its lord represents the time, money and inconvenience and suffering of the person by a disease. There are many more factors which also need to be investigated like the influence of malefic planets on these houses and incapability of benefic planets to help the subject or native. The maha dasa and antar dasa at the time of occurring disease at a negative dasa also gives the indication of onset of disease at an age of the native. The importance of transit can also not be ignored. If the planets and transit are aggravating the negative June 2021

In Ayurveda, the vital energy Vata is directly responsible for the nervous system – for the transmission of the cerebral signals to the organs, for the senses, feelings and thoughts. It is set at birth with the other two energies – Pitta and Kapha, as each one of them is responsible for specific processes in the organism. All three energies are set in a specific ratio and they maintain a certain balance between them. If one of the energies goes out of balance, then the functions of certain organs get disturbed and the organism develops illnesses. In the case with Vata these are neurological diseases. Vata is responsible for all movements in the body, so without that energy the other two Doshas can’t flow in the organism. Thus, the disturbances in Vata can even cause blockages in Pitta and Kapha. And usually when a Dosha goes out of balance it causes imbalances also in the other two. So the Ayurveda specialist has to determine what are the imbalances and the extent of the deviations of the Doshas, in order to be able to prescribe a treatment and so on – a way to restore their natural proportions that are unique for everyone.

Vedic Astrology and Ayurvedic Medicine Vedic astrology is India’s traditional system of reading the stars, the planets and the entire movement of time. It was originally called Vedanga Jyotish, meaning the study of light (Jyoti) as a limb of the Veda (Vedanga). It was also called Jyotirveda, the Veda or ‘science of light’. Ayurveda, which means the ‘science of life’, is the corresponding Vedic system of natural healing for body and mind. Both are living branches of an ancient sacred science that arose in an older era in which humanity had a greater intuitive connection with the sacred universe. Unlike corresponding western traditions, their continuity, though shaken by hostile forces, has remained unbroken. Both these systems are undergoing a renaissance today as we once more learn to look within. Vedic astrology is an extraordinary predictive and counseling tool. There are many wonderful stories of how Vedic astrologers can pinpoint specific events in a person’s life with uncanny accuracy. Yet Vedic astrologers also can relate deep wisdom about a person’s life purpose, karma and spiritual path.

History of Astrology and Ayurveda

Similarly, Ayurveda is a precise and comprehensive tool for physical and psychological well-being, optimal health, energy and vitality. There are many instances of Ayurvedic doctors introducing changes in a person’s life, from simple dietary or lifestyle modifications, to special herbs or internal cleansings that can literally rejuvenate us, countering long standing and intractable health problems. These two Vedic systems together in the ‘Vedic astrology of healing’ or ‘Ayurvedic astrology’. Ayurvedic astrology shows us how to optimize both our health and our destiny, our vitality and our karma, so that we can realize our highest potential in life, with our earthly life following the model of heavenly forces and their consciousnesspromoting outcomes. Ayurvedic astrology shows how we can heal ourselves through the stars, bringing the energies of the cosmos into our lives so that we can once more touch the universal light and prana.

All great ancient civilizations centered their cultures on profound systems of astrology, connecting conditions and events on the Earth with cosmic influences deriving from the stars. Whether it is India or China, Egypt or Babylonia, or the Mayas and Incas of America, we find in each case an astrological foundation for their spiritual cultures. Astrology and its measure of sacred time formed the basis of their calendars which, looking to the heavens, sought to organize human life according to celestial forces more certain than our personal desires and calculations. Even the ancient cultures of Europe like the Greeks, Romans, Celts and Germans, had detailed systems of astrology, as have all communities that recognize the sacred nature of the universe. Similarly, all systems of traditional medicine of East and West possess corresponding forms of astrology, which were part of their theory and practice. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) has the I Ching and Chinese astrology, while the Ayurvedic medicine of India has Vedic astrology. Traditional European medicine going back to the Greeks included western astrological traditions, which were part of pagan traditions overall.

CASE STUDY: Analysis: DOB-18th November 1992, TOB-19:15, POB-Worland, Washakie County, Wyoming, United States, Male

Connecting healing and astrology – or the practice of medical astrology – is one of the deepest and most lasting investigations of civilization. It is as old as all great ancient cultures and their astrologically based rituals to keep human life in harmony with the cosmos. We have long looked to the stars and the heavens for guidance, grace and healing energy, for understanding human existence in a deeper perspective in which we can touch the eternal and the infinite.

COVER STORY

PLANETS AND COVID-19 THIRD WAVE Raman Suprajarama mundane events like seasons, famine, drought etc., were following a design. On closer examination, they found that these events were matching with the path of the Sun and the Moon across the Zodiac. Our rishis were delighted. Being scholars with extreme scientific spirit, they drew up an extensive data model. This new and improved data model captured details including a) heavenly data – movement of planets across zodiac, constellations, zenith etc., b) mundane data – happenings around the world include rainfall, drought, famine, volcanoes, earthquakes etc., and c) human affairs data – good times, bad times, marriage, birth of children, death, vocation etc., This opened a world of new insights. Not only were the rishis able to map newer patterns and events (both mundane and human affairs), but they were also able to go one step further to predict what is likely to happen in the future based on the pattern repeating in the future. Thus, a new science and discipline was formed – Vedic Astrology. The science unravels the happenings of the future so that humans can prepare and plan for the same.

The second wave of Covid-19 pandemic in India has been nothing less than devastating. Many lives are lost and still losing. Economy has tumbled. Uncertainty has set in. Government is clueless on how to approach and stop the pandemic. Citizens are facing unprecedented challenges and have come to a point of just survival. The pressure on us Astrologers is building up to analyse and predict the end of this deadly virus. Everybody is expectantly awaiting predictions about when this large-scale humanitarian crisis will end.

Vedic Astrology is perhaps the most advanced Data Analytics project carried out by our ancient sages. It is scientific, evidence based, and systematic. It believes in data. I am a data scientist myself. I work on various artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms solving complex business problems. None of these business problems are even close to complexity, scale, and accuracy of the predictive models that Vedic Astrology employs. Furthermore, the beauty of Vedic Astrology lies in the fact that the predictive models have been designed to be flexible enough to add new events and patterns that we come across in the future. This ensures that Vedic Astrology stays relevant in ever changing times. When a Vedic Astrologer predicts, he essentially is using these models to correlate past patterns and events and predict the future. If the model chosen is incorrect, the predictions will be wrong. The science of Vedic Astrology can never be wrong because it is a science of data-backed evidence. If a prediction is incorrect, it is just that the Astrologer hasn’t employed the right model or isn’t aware of a model or in some cases the model doesn’t exist yet.

Vedic Astrology is an extraordinary science. Unlike astrological variants originating in other parts of the world, Indian originated Vedic Astrology is based on evidence and rationality. Vedic Astrology has evolved after centuries of observation of cosmic patterns and real-world happenings. A large-scale data collection activity in a systematic and scientific manner was started by our ancient rishis centuries ago to understand the correlation of cosmic influences on human affairs. It started with a simple thought pattern. Humans and other lifeforms on Earth are part of a celestial system. You, me, the birds, animals, and marine life live on Earth. Earth is a part of the solar system. The solar system is a part of Milky Way Galaxy. Milky way Galaxy is a part of larger collection Universe. All these that we know today – Universe, Galaxy, Solar System, Earth follow a mathematical pattern. They can be plotted on a space-time dimension using specific formulas. These patterns are fixed and precise. Anyone can exactly predict where a heavenly body at a given instant of time is, using mathematical formulas. Would that mean that we humans also have a fixed and predictable pattern?

Second Wave

The second wave of Covid-19 pandemic has been a nightmare. In India, the official numbers of reported Covid cases and deaths are upwards of 2 crores and 2.4 lakhs, respectively and mortality rate at 1%. A simple Google search presents private investigative reports that claim higher mortality rates – almost 4%. So many lives are lost to Coronavirus. Hospitals and doctors are clueless on how to treat ICU patients. The treatment being followed is only to treat the symptoms. There is no sure shot or near sure shot treatment protocol that is known, yet.

The ancient rishis also had the same thought. They created a hypothesis – cosmic movements have an influence on mundane events. They set out to collect data of various mundane activities across different locations. In parallel, the path of the Sun and the Moon were noted. When a good amount of historical data was captured, they set out to analyse them. Certain simple patterns were observed. Mundane events were mapped to these patterns. The ancient rishis were in for a surprise! They noticed that certain June 2021

THE ASTROLOGICAL eMAGAZINE

Covid related scams are being unearthed everywhere – hospital beds, oxygen cylinders, vaccination shots, medicines like Remdesivir, ambulances are being sold at abnormal prices and black marketed. The Medical industry, the saviours, unfortunately have stooped down to being inhuman blatantly looting the citizens of the country. The honest doctors and medical enablers are only a few. The Indian medical system – right from the ministry to the healthcare providers – have lost their reputation and trust. Greed has transformed them into monsters. Few handful of good doctors who are service oriented are unfortunately spoiling their reputation thanks to the monsters. The two questions in every citizen’s mind right now are these – 1. Will I be surviving the second wave? Will I live or die? 2. When will this pandemic end? When will things come back to normal? Accumulation of wealth, marriage, purchasing properties, cars, or other luxury items etc., have all taken a back seat. Survival is the key. People have realized the importance of health and healthy living.

Data Science Angle

Before I venture into an astrological discussion of the second wave, I would like to share what modern day data scientists have to say? Let me share an interesting publication by Singapore University of Technology and Design. A team of data scientists used Machine Learning (ML) algorithms, specifically logistic model, to predict the inflection point and end of Covid pandemic across countries. The graphs and predictions given are shared in the image below.

1 Screengrab of Covid End Dates for various countries

For India, the team had predicted that the pandemic would end by May 21, 2020. You can look at the graph and infer that the prediction was a complete disaster. The original publication has been pulled down but you can read a backup of this in the following location - https://www.flasog.org/static/COVID19/COVID19PredictionPaper20200426.pdf. Does that mean that artificial intelligence and machine learning models are incorrect? No. What you will have to understand is that the historical data collected at the time of publication was limited. Hence the model did not work accurately. Fast forward to April 2021. A team of four Indians from IIT-Delhi, Punjab University and Queen Mary University of London came together again to build an AI model to predict the end of pandemic. This time, they have more data in their hands. In addition to Covid cases and deaths, they had additional data like lockdown dates, mutations, recovery rates, etc., The data also was rich, which means you can easily slice and dice the data across countries, states, districts, pin codes, sex, race, co-morbidities. A combination of algorithms was used to build the model – random forest, ARIMA and deep learning. I am reproducing the predictions of this new and revamped model for your reading. June 2021

This is exciting! As a data scientist, I am appreciative of the model. Though I differ on certain parts of the algorithm, the overall construct looks promising.

The model predicts that the Covid-19 pandemic will end around November 2021 in most parts of the world. For India, the date given is November 15, 2021. Read the publication here -

Vedic Astrology Angle

Let us come to Vedic Astrology. In April 2020, I did a YouTube video titled “6 Important Coronavirus Dates to Keep an Eye”. You can watch it here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGSLQoKJd_c. At that time, we did not have sufficient data to map the cosmic patterns to the pandemic numbers. Add to this, a pandemic at this large scale was something we hadn’t seen before. Nevertheless, we predicted that the vaccine would be available once Jupiter retrogrades back to Scorpio. And that the wave would end by March 2021. Yes. The first wave did end. But then the second wave started, and it is deadlier than the first wave.

Astrologers also faced similar problems like Data Scientists. None of our astrological classics or modern books have written about a large pandemic like Covid-19. We don’t have a previously referenceable pattern documented for a pandemic, and naturally models don’t exist. Nonetheless, certain astrological scriptures have given us clues on how to go about build models. An attempt is made below to design this model and use it as a base to predict the future of the Covid-19 pandemic. The table below lists the epidemics and pandemics that the world has witnessed in the 20th Century.

The Spanish Flu, one of the deadliest pandemics occurred between 1918-1920. The first case showed up in March 1918 when over 100 plus soldiers of the US Army complained of sore throat, fever, and headache. I have given the planetary positions in March 1918 – the first case of Spanish Flu and April 1920 – the last case of Spanish Flu. Ju

Notice the position of the four major grahas - Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, and Rahu. • Jupiter is in Taurus, the house of his nemesis. He is evil in nature. He casts aspect on Virgo, Scorpio, and Capricorn. Debilitated Moon aspects Jupiter filling him with evil memories of bad Karma. He is destined to teach a lesson to citizens. • Saturn is retrograde in Gemini. He is of balanced temperament. He aspects Virgo, Capricorn, and Aries. Venus aspects Saturn to increase the lust in Saturn. Lust to do more of what he likes. Put people through hardship. June 2021

• Mars is retrograde in Virgo. He is aggressive and evil. He aspects Sagittarius, Pisces, and Aries. Retrograde Saturn aspects Mars expanding the radius of evilness. Evil Jupiter also aspects Mars giving him enough intelligence and wit to effectively carry out his destructive plan.

• Rahu is debilitated in Sagittarius. He is evil and inauspicious. He aggravates the Bhuta activity. Bhuta is commonly understood as ghosts or demons. In Ayurveda, Bhuta means that which cannot be seen by the human eye. Viruses and bacteria are so small that they cannot be seen by the human eye. Viruses and bacteria must be understood as Bhutas. Rahu casts an aspect on Gemini, the house of confusion. Retrograde Mars aspects Rahu giving Bhutas more strength.

Nov 2002 The first case of SARS

All the four major planets are evil and inauspicious in nature. These planets are also forming a vicious chain. One planet lends support to the other intensifying the evilness. You will also notice that four signs – Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Capricorn – come under the influence of these evil and inauspicious planets. Gemini and Aries are also receiving evil influences.

Let’s look at the chart casted when the first case of MARS was identified.

The Flu died down as an when the evil influence on major planets on the above signs eased out. Look at the chart of April 1920.

• Jupiter is exalted and auspicious in Gemini and viewing Capricorn, Scorpio and Pisces.

• Jupiter is exalted and retrograde and has turned auspicious. • Saturn is retrograde but weak as he is his enemy’s house. He is partly inauspicious. • Mars is retrograde and in his enemy’s house. He is partly inauspicious. • Rahu is auspicious.

• Saturn is retrograde and auspicious in Gemini and viewing Sagittarius, Leo and Pisces. • Mars is inauspicious in Virgo and viewing Sagittarius, Pisces and Aries • Rahu is in auspicious in Taurus and viewing Scorpio.

Coming to the Zodiac signs affected –

Essentially, the signs that are under the influence of these planets are Gemini, Sagittarius, Scorpio, Pisces. The secondary signs are Capricorn, Aries, Virgo and Taurus.

• Virgo is free of planetary occupation. Auspicious Sun aspects Virgo. The only negative combination is the Papakarthari Yoga from retrograde Saturn, retrograde Mars and Rahu. • Scorpio is free of planets. Auspicious Jupiter aspects the sign. No evil effects. • Sagittarius is free of planets or aspects which is good. • Capricorn is free of planets. Auspicious retrograde Jupiter aspects the Sign. The only evil influence is that of retrograde evil Mars. • With respect to secondary signs

Do you see a similarity of chart to Swine Flu? If you combine the primary and secondary signs, you will notice the Sagittarius, Scorpio, Gemini, Capricorn, Virgo and Aries also got affected during Spanish flu. The two other signs that got affected in addition to these were Taurus and Pisces. Let's take a look at the chart cast on the day when the last case of SARS was witnessed. • Jupiter is a friendly sign, in Vargottama and in Leo, viewing Aquarius, Sagittarius and Aries.

o Aries has Ketu in it and evil planets Rahu, Moon and retrograde Mars aspect the sign.

• Saturn is in a friendly sign in Gemini and aspects Leo, Sagittarius, and Pisces

o Gemini has no planets occupying or viewing it. You will notice that there is a significant shift of state from positive to negative, both for planets as well as the key Zodiac signs.

• Mars is an unfriendly sign of Gemini and aspects Virgo, Sagittarius, and Capricorn • Rahu is in an unfriendly sign of Aries and aspects Libra.

Let’s look at a few more examples. SARS happened between 2003 and 2004. The first case was on June 2021

Let's take a look at the primary signs as well -

• Rahu is inauspicious in Capricorn. He aspects Cancer.

• Gemini is under the influence of two first rate malefics, Saturn and Mars. However, Saturn is auspicious while Mars is inauspicious.

• Mars is auspicious in Sagittarius. He aspects Pisces, Gemini, and Cancer Clearly, the signs that are getting the most affected are Capricorn, Cancer and Taurus. The secondary signs are Virgo, Leo, Libra, and Aquarius.

• Scorpio doesn't have any planets. Auspicious and retrograde Venus and inauspicious Sun aspect it. • Sagittarius is free of planets. Auspicious Jupiter, auspicious Saturn and inauspicious Mars aspect it.

The last case of Swine Flu was in August 2010. Let’s look at how the planets are positioned –

• Pisces is free of any planets Inauspicious Saturn aspects it.

Jupiter is retrograde, in Pisces and highly auspicious. He aspects Cancer, Virgo and Scorpio.

o Capricorn doesn’t have any planets in it. Inauspicious Mars aspects it.

Saturn is in Virgo, auspicious. He aspects Scorpio, Pisces and Gemini.

o Aries has Mercury, Moon and Rahu. Auspicious Jupiter aspects the sign.

Rahu is in Sagittarius, inauspicious.

Mars is in Virgo, inauspicious. He aspects Sagittarius, Pisces and Aries.

• With respect to the secondary signs,

o Virgo doesn't have any planets in it. Inauspicious Mars aspects the sign.

Clearly the planets are better off compared to Jan 2009. Coming to the zodiac signs –

o Taurus has auspicious Venus and inauspicious Sun in it.

• Capricorn is free of any planets. Sun aspects the sign.

Clearly the effects are more favourable than in the beginning.

• Cancer has Sun in it. Auspicious Jupiter aspects it. • Taurus is free of any planets. Inauspicious Mars and Moon aspect it.

Next, we’ll look at Swine Flu case that took over 284,000 lives. The first confirmed case of Swine Flu H1N1 was documented in January 2009. The planetary positions during the first and the last case of Swine Flu is shown below. Ve

The signs also look positive. In addition to the above analyses, I also analysed the planets in various degrees, multiple Vimshopaka strengths, Amsabalas, Sayanadi avasthas.

Upon analysis of all these parameters, certain patterns emerge. You will notice that four signs are very crucial – Aries, Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Capricorn. • Aries is the natural first house in the Zodiac. The first house denotes the physical body and the objects that lie within the body. These include organs, nervous system, blood etc. These also include the bacteria and viruses that enter or reside in the body. A reading of Aries let us know which parts have got affected or which type of external organisms or germs are at play.

• Virgo is the natural sixth sign in the Zodiac. The sixth house indicates diseases and the natural sixth house indicates diseases that affect many citizens at large. Naturally, a reading of Virgo conjunction, aspects, lords will tell us if any diseases are likely. Further, influences on Virgo will show the intensity and possible cure on the disease.

The first case started in Jan 2009 • Jupiter is debilitated in Capricorn. He is highly inauspicious and evil. He aspects Taurus, Cancer and Virgo.

• Scorpio is the natural eighth house. It is the house of secrecy. It is the house of new and emerging trends. It is also the house of longevity. An influence on Scorpio shows any new variant or version of the germ.

• Saturn is in Leo, in an enemy’s house, and is party evil. He is retrograde. He aspects Libra, Aquarius, and Taurus. June 2021

THE ASTROLOGICAL eMAGAZINE

• Sagittarius is the natural ninth house. Ninth house indicates Dharma or righteousness and also guru, preceptor and father or head of the nation. Interestingly ancient scriptures also mention that Sagittarius is a war sign. Any major influence on Sagittarius results in conflicts and in turn death.

All the above clearly indicate an episode of a largescale airborne virus. The virus was set to unleash and cause havoc in December 2019. It would be large enough to be categorized as an epidemic or a pandemic. Saturn moved from Sagittarius to Capricorn in March 2020 which was around the time the OxfordAstraZeneca vaccine started its first trial. This and another vaccine were known as trustworthy in August 2020 when Jupiter entered Sagittarius in retrograde motion. The shelf-life of this pandemic was about a year, but why didn’t that happen in reality. Why is that we have a second wave which is deadlier than the first wave?

• Capricorn is the natural tenth house. The tenth house is the house of karma or occupation. In mundane astrology, it denotes the economy. Note that Capricorn also denotes death. Unlike Sagittarius which ignites battles, Capricorn just extends the battle. The way to understand Sagittarius and Capricorn is the form ignites and sustains fire while the later sustains and expands the fire.

Let’s take a look at what happened on February 10, 2021. Below is the chart for that day.

The astrological model reveals that:

i. Irrespective of whether the major planets are auspicious or inauspicious, if the above four signs come under the planetary influence, then epidemic or a pandemic is highly likely.

Mo Ve (Me) Sa Su Ju

ii. Another factor that got revealed is the role of slow moving and fast-moving planets. Slow moving planets initiate a pandemic or epidemic. Fastmoving planet like Venus, Mercury, the Sun, or the Moon do not initiate but the end up increasing and scaling the problem.

Let’s take a peek at the future. The major planets are Jupiter, Ketu, Saturn and Mars. In March 2021, Mars left Aries and moved to Taurus. It continues to cast its influence on Scorpio. Jupiter also left Capricorn and moved to Aquarius. This saw a temporary dip in the cases. In May, Venus and Mercury moved to Taurus to keep Scorpio activated, while Mars moved to Gemini activating Sagittarius, Virgo and Capricorn which push the cases further up and at speed. Around May 15, 2021 Sun also joins Taurus further increasing the pressure on Scorpio. The cases will continue to go up. Saturn becomes retrograde Continued on Page 23

• Scorpio has Mars in it. The sign has got activated. Mars indicates a new variant of the germ. • Sagittarius has the influence of multiple planets in it. Jupiter and Ketu’s occupation, coupled with Rahu’s aspect activates the sign and result in a disease. The Sun, the Moon and Mercury scale it up taking it to the state of pandemic or epidemic. • Capricorn has Venus. Venus indicates a shelf-life of about a year. June 2021

Rasi

Look closely. Another bad planetary pattern occurs. And how do they influence? • Aries has Mars in it activating the sign. Mars indicates viruses. • Virgo has no planets in it. Jupiter aspects Virgo. Virgo gets activated. Jupiter’s aspect also indicates airborne diseases. • Scorpio has Ketu again activating the sign. Mars aspects the sign. A combination of Ketu and Mars indicate a stronger variant. • Sagittarius has no planets occupying or viewing it. A new virus trigger is not indicated. • Capricorn is heavily inflicted. As stated earlier, Capricorn doesn’t trigger a virus, but sustains a previous epidemic or a pandemic, and also scales it. Jupiter, Saturn, Mars, Mercury, Moon and Venus spoil the sign. Until Capricorn is free of evil influences, it is highly unlikely that the pandemic will end. Does that mean that a third wave is on its way?

Let’s apply this model in the context of Covid-19. The first case of Coronavirus surfaced on December 26, 2019. Look at the chart below. Ra

Sayanadhi Avasthas

Planets on account of their incessant movement get into certain state of existence called avasthas. Depending on their position in the chart and the other conditions, Indian astrology classifies the conditions of the planets into 5 different sets of avasthas. They are: • • • • •

Baladi Avasthas - Set of 5 avasthas Jagradadi Avasthas - Set of 3 avasthas Lajjitadi Avasthas - Set of 6 avasthas Deeptadi Avasthas - Set of 9 avasthas Sayanadi Avasthas - Set of 12 avasthas

It is a very detailed and complicated study as to how a planet in each of the 5 types of sets of avasthas behaves. Based on that the results given by each planet for each type of the sets of avasthas is taken into consideration while giving predictions. Fundamentally 3 avasthas are taken into consideration, • Baladi Avasthas - deals with the physical state of body systems • Sayanadi Avasthas - deals with the awareness of Mind • Deeptadi Avasthas - deals with the light of the soul Sayanadi: This Avasthas deal with the state of mind, which constantly propels between the state of rest and activity. For example, we can observe the state of mind. The energy of the body comes from the food we eat. Intake of food is done in rest and comforts, and this can happen at places such as: Swakshetra (home), Moola Trikona (work) or in exaltation (picnic/party). The intrinsic energies of a planet come from Swakshetra sign. The energy from which the native executes the work comes from his Moola Trikona sign. The energy from which he succeeds in all activities comes from the state of exaltation.

As we can intake food and energy only when our mind is at rest and comfort. In the same way, the planets recharge only when they are stationary, and comfortable i.e., in the own sign, in Moola Trikona and in exaltation sign. Jupiter remains in a sign for about a year, and transits Sagittarius once in 12 years. It is stationary in Sagittarius with Sagittarius lagna rising once in 144 years. As a result, it is very rare for a soul to be born with this combination. When this occurs in Pisces, spiritual charging takes place. In Sagittarius, recharging of dharma takes place. When it occurs in Cancer, recharging of Sukha takes place. Once every 12 years, when Jupiter transits Sagittarius, and the recharging of dharma takes place,

• Mercury : When the Sayana Avastha is full, in Lagna it makes the native lame and eyes reddish, in other houses the native will be addicted to licentious. • Jupiter : When the Sayana Avastha is full, it makes native strong but speaks in whispers, tawny in complexion and is afraid from enemies. • Venus : When the Sayana Avastha is full, it makes native strong, short temper, bereft of wealth. • Saturn : When the Sayana Avastha is full, it results in hunger and thirst, disease in boyhood and later in life become wealthy.

(Rig veda -Oshadi sukta)

What is Asafoetida?

‘C’ - Nakshatra number occupied by the planet (1 for aswini, 2 for bharani etc.) ‘P’ - Planet whose avastha we have to calculate (1 for Sun, 2 for Moon, 3 for Mars, 4 for Mercury, 5 for Jupiter, 6 for Venus and 7 for Saturn). ‘A’ - Index of the Navamsa occupied by the planet in rasi. ‘M’ - Constellation occupied by Moon. ‘G’ - Ghati running at birth. ‘L’ - Rasi occupied by Lagna (1 for Aries, 2 for Taurus) and so on).

Technically a gum-resin, asafoetida is a hard substance that’s extracted from large, carrot-shaped roots of the Ferula plants. Once extracted, it’s commonly dried, ground into a course, yellow powder, and used for either culinary or medicinal purposes. As a spice, asafoetida is known for its strong, pungent odor, which is due to its high concentration of sulfur compounds. In fact, due to its unpleasant smell, this seasoning is sometimes referred to as stinking gum. However, when cooked, its flavor and smell become much more palatable and are often described as being like leeks, garlic, and even meat. In addition to adding a distinct flavor to dishes, asafoetida has been used in traditional medicine for centuries. For example, in Ayurvedic medicine, hing is used to aid digestion and gas, as well as treat bronchitis and kidney stones. While during the Middle Ages, the dried gum was sometimes worn around the neck to help ward off infection and disease. Yet despite being used for thousands of years, many of the traditional uses of asafoetida have not been proven by modern science. Asafoetida is sulfurous smelling gum-resin that’s extracted from Ferula plants. It’s traditionally ground into a powder and used either for its proposed medicinal qualities or as a spice to add a savory flavor to food.

Compute (C x P x A) + M + G + L and then divide it by 12 and take the remainder. Using the resulting number as the avastha index and referring to table given above, we find out the avastha of the planet. Results of Planet based on Sayana Avasthas: • Sun : When the Sayana Avastha is full, it results in digestive deficiency, many diseases, stoutness of legs, ulcer in the Anus and heart strokes. • Moon : When the Sayana Avastha is full, it results the native with honor, sluggishness, sexual lust, financial destruction.

Potential Benefits of Asafoetida

• Mars : When the Sayana Avastha is full, it results in wounds, itches and ulcer. June 2021

While research is limited, asafoetida may offer some health benefits. 16

THE ASTROLOGICAL eMAGAZINE

www.astrologicalmagazine.com

• Antibacterial, antifungal, and antimicrobial effects. Test-tube studies have found asafoetida may help protect against potential pathogens, such as various strains of Streptococcus bacteria.

Good source of antioxidants: Asafoetida has been found to be a good source of antioxidants. These plant compounds help protect your cells against potential damage caused by unstable molecules called free radicals. As a result, antioxidants may also help protect against chronic inflammation, heart disease, cancer, and type 2 diabetes. Specifically, asafoetida has been shown to contain high amounts of phenolic compounds, such as tannins and flavonoids, which are known for their potent antioxidant effects. While test-tube and animal studies have found asafoetida to exhibit antiinflammatory and antioxidant activity, more research needs to be done on its potential antioxidant effects in humans. Additionally, as asafoetida is used in such small amounts when cooking, it’s unclear if culinary use of the spice would still provide these potential benefits to health. May be good for digestion. One of the most common uses of asafoetida is helping with indigestion. In one 30-day study in 43 adults with moderate to severe indigestion, those taking 250 mg capsules containing asafoetida twice a day reported significant improvements in bloating, digestion, and overall quality of life compared with the placebo group. This study was funded by the company that produced the supplement, so it may have impacted results. Asafoetida has also been shown to help boost digestion by increasing the activity of digestive enzymes. Specifically, it may increase the release of bile from the liver, which is needed for the digestion of fat. While the spice is also frequently used to prevent or reduce gas after eating, there’s currently a lack of research to support this effect.

• Help lower blood pressure. Asafoetida may help lower blood pressure by relaxing blood vessels. However, research is very limited and has only been studied in animals. • Anticancer effects. Animal and test-tube studies have shown a potential for asafoetida to help stop the growth and spread of certain cancer cells, including breast and liver cancer. • Protect brain health. Several animal studies have found asafoetida may help protect against memory loss and nerve damage in the brain. • Help ease asthma symptoms. Mice studies have shown asafoetida to have a relaxing effect on airway smooth muscles, which is important in the treatment of asthma. While promising, this effect hasn’t been proven in humans. • Help lower blood sugar levels. One study in rats found 50 mg/kg of asafoetida extract to reduce fasting blood sugar levels. However, this effect hasn’t been studied in humans. Overall, while animal and test-tube studies suggest many potential benefits of this pungent spice, there’s currently a lack of evidence in humans to support these claims. It’s also worth noting that these studies use a concentrated form of asafoetida rather than the amounts typically used when cooking. As a result, culinary use of the spice may have minimal effects. Asafoetida is rich in antioxidants and may provide multiple health benefits, particularly for digestive health. However, as research is currently limited, studies in humans are needed to confirm these effects.

Help reduce symptoms of IBS: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a chronic gastrointestinal (GI) condition that’s characterized by abdominal pain or discomfort, bloating, gas, and constipation, diarrhea, or both. Due to its potential effects on digestion, asafoetida is thought to help reduce symptoms associated with IBS. Two small studies in adults with IBS found a significant improvement in reported IBS symptoms after 2 weeks of taking asafoetida supplements. Yet another study found no effect of the supplement on IBS symptoms. Overall, the research on whether asafoetida may be effective for managing IBS symptoms is quite limited. However, one less direct way that asafoetida may be beneficial for individuals with IBS is as a substitute for onion and garlic in cooking. Onion and garlic contain high amounts of fructans — indigestible, fermentable carbs that can cause GI distress in some individuals with IBS. As asafoetida provides a flavor similar to onions and garlic, it could be a good option for those who need to avoid or limit their consumption of these high fructans food.

Potential Side Effects of Asafoetida While research on the safety of asafoetida in humans is limited, amounts of asafoetida that are typically used in cooking are thought to be generally safe for most individuals. One study in humans found 250 mg twice a day for 30 days was well tolerated by the participants. However, animal studies suggest large doses of asafoetida may cause swelling of the mouth, gas, diarrhea, anxiety, and headaches. Furthermore, a study in mice suggests possible toxicity at doses greater than 455 mg per pound (1,000 mg per kg) of body weight. Additionally, due to a lack of research, asafoetida isn’t recommended for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, or young children. Because it may lower blood pressure or thin the blood, people on blood pressure medications or blood thinning drugs should avoid asafoetida supplements. When used as a spice, asafoetida is often mixed with either wheat or rice flour. As a result, asafoetida (or hing) products may not be gluten-free. This can be a concern when dining out at a restaurant that uses hing powder in their dishes.

Other possible benefits While studies on asafoetida are quite limited, early research suggests that it may have additional benefits, including: June 2021

If you have any questions or concerns, it’s important to consult with your healthcare provider before trying asafoetida. When used in small amounts for cooking, asafoetida is likely safe for most individuals. However, due to a lack of research, asafoetida may not be safe for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding or when consumed in large doses. How to Use Asafoetida Asafoetida has been used for thousands of years to give flavor to dishes. In fact, ancient Romans used to store it in jars along with pine nuts to be used as a seasoning. Today, ground asafoetida powder, often labeled as hing, can be found online as well as at some Indian grocery stores. If you follow a gluten-free diet, make sure to look for hing powder that’s blended with rice flour instead of wheat. For culinary uses of hing powder, it’s recommended to incorporate it into hot oil or another source of fat to help reduce its sulfurous flavor and smell. In Indian cuisine, hing powder is often paired with other spices like turmeric or cumin to provide a savory, umami flavor to lentil- or vegetable-based dishes. In France, it’s sometimes used to add a boost of flavor to steaks. As a supplement, asafoetida is available in capsule form. While one study found 250 mg twice per day helped reduce indigestion, overall research on what’s a safe and effective dose is lacking. Asafoetida or hing powder can add a savory, umami quality to cooked dishes. While asafoetida is also sold in capsule form as a supplement, there’s currently insufficient evidence on what’s a safe and effective dose.

71st VARDHANTI

JAGADGURU SHANKARACHARYA SRI SRI SRI BHARATI TIRTHA MAHASWAMIJI Compiled by Nirupama propagate Advaita though them. Each of these ashrams was assigned the task of maintaining and preserving for posterity, the four Vedas (the main knowledge books of Sanatana Dharma) and a Maha Vakya. The primary disciples given the responsibility were Hastamalakacharya (Govardhana Puri), Sri Sureshwaracharya (Dakshinamnaya Sringeri Sharada Peetham), Sri Totakacharya (Badarinath) and Sri Padmapadacharya (Dwaraka). Apart from his immense intellectual and organisational abilities, Adi Shankaracharya was an exquisite poet, with a heart brimming with love for the divine. He composed 72 devotional and meditative hymns like Soundarya Lahari, Sivananda Lahari, Nirvana Shatakam, Maneesha Panchakam. He also wrote 18 commentaries on the major scriptural texts including the Brahma Sutras, the Bhagavad Gita and 12 major Upanishads. He also authored 23 books on the fundamentals of the Advaita Vedanta philosophy which expound the principles of the non-dual Brahman. These include Viveka Chudamani, Atma Bodha, Vaakya Vritti, Upadesa Sahasri, among many others. Considered to be an incarnation of Lord Siva, Sri Shankara lived only a short life span of 32 years. There are many inspiring legends about him.

Sri Adi Shankaracharya was the founding father of Advaita Vedanta and his entire life was spent for the preservation of Sanatana Dharma. My father Dr. B. V. Raman, in his book Notable Horoscopes works out the birth date of Sri Adi Shankaracharya as 25th March 44 B.C. Adi Shankara, was born in Kalady. He met his Guru Sri Govindapada when he walked a distance of 1250 miles (about 2000 kilometers) to the banks of the sacred river Narmada. He stayed there for four years serving his Guru. Under the teacher’s compassionate guidance, the young Shankaracharya mastered all the Vedic scriptures. At the age of twelve, Acharya Sri Govindapada felt that Sri Shankara was ready to write commentaries on major classical texts. At his Guru’s command Sri Shankara wrote commentaries elucidating the subtle meanings hidden in the teachings of the scriptures. At the age of sixteen, he completed writing all the major treatises. These included Yogasutra Vivarana Bhashya, commentary on the Adhyatma Patala of the Apastamba Dharmasutra, and commentaries on the Vishnu Sahasranama and Lalita Trishati. A Sankhya work called Jayamangala and a Nyaya work called Sthirasiddhi are also attributed to him.

Sringeri also called Sri Kshetra Sringeri is a hill town and taluk headquarters located in Chikkamagaluru district in Karnataka, on the embankment of river Tunga. Great sages like Vibhandaka, Rishyashringa, and others have meditated here in the ancient times. The serene and calm environs of Sringeri charmed Sri Shankara and he established his first Vedanta Jnana Peetha here. He installed there the idol of Sri Sharada, the Goddess of Learning, and named Sri Sureshwaracharya as the head of the Sharada Peetham. This illustrious Peetham has been adorned by an unbroken succession of 37 illustrious Gurus right from Sri Adi Shankaracharya’s direct disciple, Sri Sureshwaracharya. On the ocassion of Adi Shankara's Jayanti this year, let us all pay our reverential pranams to his lotus feet.

From the age of sixteen to thirty-two Sri Shankara travelled across the length and breadth of India and spread the importance of Advaita Vedanta and its philosophy through discourses and debates with other thinkers.

36th in the line of Jagadgurus of the Sringeri Sri Sharada Peetham) 71st Vardhanti (birthday) was on 11th April 2021. (As we go to the press, we understand from the sacred Sringeri Peetham, that though the Vardhanti celebrations will be there, they will be in a restricted domain. General public and devotees will not have access.)

Reign as Jagadguru Bharati Teertha Mahaswami has studied shastras like Vedanta, Mimamsa, Tarka, Nyaya, Vyakarana amongst others and has completed his studies in the Yajur Veda in Sadvidya Sanjivini Pathasala prior to taking up Sanyasa. The devotees of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham pay frequent visits to the matha seeking guidance and blessings. Many notable personalities like Sri Narendra Modi, Sri Abdul Kalam and others have visited Mahasannidanam and sought his guidance.The Acharya delivers benedictory addresses in Sanskrit, Kannada, Telugu, Tamil and Hindi which are now available on YouTube. As part of the tradition, the acharya also undertakes Vijaya Yatras (tours) to visit different places and guide the devotees. The various events involved in the Vijaya Yatra are covered by Sri Sankara TV, which broadcasts the highlights on a daily basis during the course of the Vijaya Yatra.

भारती क णापा ं भारती पदभषणम ू ्। भारती पदमा ढं भारती तीथमा ये ॥

Sri Mahasannidhanam was born on Apri 11th 1951 to a Telugu Smartha family from Alugumallepadu village in Guntur. Seetharama Anjaneyalu (as he was named in his Poorvashrama) showed increasing signs of devotion towards God in his childhood. His Brahmopadesha was performed at the young age of seven years. He was regular in the performance of the prescribed karmas of Sandhyavandanam and Agnikaryam. At school, he spent his time studying Sanskrit and took Vedic lessons from his father who was himself a Vedic scholar. In the year 1966 at the age of 15, Anjaneyalu approached the 35th Jagadguru of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham, Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji, as a bachelor, seeking his blessings and tutelage in the Sastras. The Acharya accepted the disciple and the lessons in the Tarka sastras commenced.

During his reign as the Jagadguru, assisted by V. R. Gowrishankar - the current CEO and administrator of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham, the mutt has undertaken activities in the field of education and social service in addition to being a seat of Vedic learning.

Shishya Sweekaram

Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji announced his desire to appoint Seetharama Anjaneyalu as the successor-designate (as the 36th Jagadguru Acharya) and gave him Sanyasa. The Shishya Sweekaram ceremony took place on the 11th day of November, 1974 and the brahmachari received the saffron robes, the sacred staff and the kamandalu (water pot) from Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahasannidhanam. Anjaneyalu was given the yogapatta Bharati Teertha in line with the Dashanami Sampradaya of Adi Shankaracharya.

Appointment of the Successor

Sri Bharati Teertha Mahaswami appointed brahmachari Kuppa Venkateswara Prasada Sharma as his successor designate, (the 37th Jagadguru of the Sringeri Sharada Peetham) on 23rd January 2015 and gave him the Yogapatta (monastic name) Sri Vidhusekhara Bharati Mahaswami.

Childhood Days of Sri Sri Sri Bharati Thirtha Mahaswamiji

What prompted the boy who had just finished high school studies, and who was advised by his father to go for higher education, to leave his home? Why did he go all the way to Ujjain from his home in Narasaraopet in Guntur District of Andhra Pradesh?

Sitarama Anjaneyulu’s childhood is worth recalling in the context of his spiritual background. He was born into a Smartha family bearing the name “Tangirala”, of Apasthamba Sutra, Krishna Yajur Sakha, Kutsasa Gotra, living in Alugumallepadu village in Palnadu area of Guntur, on the banks of river Naguleru. He was born - as a result of long prayer and vrata (fast) by his father Venkateshwara Avadhani and mother Anantha Lakshmamma. Venkateshwara Avadhani had studied the Vedas, though learning English was the current fashion.

When the same question was put to brahmachari Sitarama Anjaneyulu, he replied: “I had the good fortune of having the darshan of the Jagadguru quite early in life. Once I was asked to talk in Sanskrit by my teacher before His Holiness in Vijayawada. I got a special prize from him. At that time, it struck me that His Holiness was my teacher and my saviour. His beaming smile was giving me a message. I thought I got what I wanted. His Holiness has since been in my mind always. I used to feel that I was guided by His Holiness whenever there was a problem. This feeling grew in me to such an extent that I could not stay in my place.” Since then, Sitarama Anjaneyulu did not leave the lotus feet of the Acharya. He accompanied Acharya during all his tours. Within eight years he finished the study of June 2021

up early in the morning, bathe in the river and worship Lord Bhavani Shankara, the local deity, with Rudrabhishekha. This he did for a year. He also used to perform Sri Rama Navaratrotsava. He took a vow to name his child after Sita and Rama if his wish was fulfilled. The Lords Shankara and Rama were kind to him. He was blessed with a son. For her part Smt. Anantalakshmamma had sought Lord Anjaneya’s favour and promised to name the male child born to her ‘Anjaneyulu’. Hence the infant was named Sitarama Anjaneyulu.Sitarama Anjaneyulu even at the age of three evinced signs of great devotion towards god. The name of Lord Shiva was on his lips constantly. During his boyhood days he used to forget himself worshipping the Lord.

eloquence that all those present, including ministers, High Court judges, members of the Legislature and University professors, could not control their admiration while listening to him. A few months after Sishya Sweekaram both the Holinesses started on a Vijayayatra to Rameshwaram. Enroute at Gobichettipalayam, the Acharya delivered a speech in chaste Tamil, electrifying the devotees as they had never expected such a clear language flow from someone whose language was not Tamil and who had not been taught Tamil by anyone. The eloquence with which he delivers speeches in Telugu, his mother tongue, is indeed a matter of rare experience. Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji accompanied his Guru in his tour of the northern parts of India, and lectured in Hindi. His benedictory speeches were highly appreciated. Even scholars in Hindi language and literature were fascinated with his melodious Sanskritised Hindi.

Outside school hours, he always devoted time to Sanskrit studies. By the time he was nine, he had considerable command over the language. He was aware of its subtleties. Scholars and poets, including the Kavi Samrat Sri Viswanatha Satyanarayana, praised him for his eloquence. He won a number of prizes and was invited by All India Radio Vijayawada to participate in Sanskrit programmes.

All his speeches have one thing in common. They are built brick by brick on a sound proposition. They are forceful, thought-provoking and inspiring. The language is always within the reach of the listeners. He reminds us of the ancient sages who taught in the gurukulams.

Devotion to Guru

At night, he learnt the Vedas from his father. He studied Samhita, Brahmana and Aranyaka so well that he could take part in the Guntur District Vedapravardhaka Vidwat Pariksha. He passed the examination with honours.

Command over Languages

Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji was seen more often talking in Sanskrit than in Telugu, his mother tongue. Quite early in life, he completed his study of grammar, literature, logic and philosophy. With an inborn love of Sanskrit, he composed poetry at a very early age. Even at games he would talk in verse. Rules of prosody were never violated. Rhyme, rhythm, irony, suggestion: every poetic beauty came naturally to him. Even ordinary things of life found expression in his poetry.

Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamigal (also Sri Maha Sannidhanam) was everything. He never let the fact that he had been given a separate identity as the Peetadhipati, distract him at any time. Sri Sannidhanam’s mind was ever engrossed on his guru. Those who have had the great fortune of seeing both the Acharyas together, could have noticed the great reverence with which Sri Sannidhanam conducted himself in the presence of his Guru. Sri Sannidhanam used to visit Sri Mahasannidhanam every morning, offer His prostrations at the sacred lotus feet of His beloved Guru and only then commence the day’s work. Whenever Sri Maha Sannidhanam spoke to Sri Sannidhanam, the latter would reverentially bend forward and listen. Whenever they walked together, Sri Sannidhanam would never over-step his Guru. Whenever both of them were to occupy their seats,

The mastery of His Holiness in Indian languages is well known to devotees. The Sringeri Mutt has under its preview Andhra, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Kerala. People of these states visit him to pay their respects and are naturally drawn by his amazing versatility in the languages together with a command over the local idiom. In 1974 on the day in which he was initiated into Sanyasa, His Holiness spoke in Kannada for the first time at the felicitation meeting with such a telling June 2021

The Guru Gita instructs : “One should meditate on one’s Guru throughout one’s life. Even though one enjoys independence, one should not show even a fraction of indifference in one’s attitudes towards one’s Guru.” For Jagadguru Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji (also Sri Sannidhanam), His Guru

Sri Sannidhanam would wait for Sri Mahasannidhanam to be seated first. Sometimes when Sri Sannidhanam arrived a little later than Sri Mahasannidhanam to attend a function, He would pay his respects to His Guru first and only then take his seat. Sri Sannidhanam would listen to Sri Mahasannidhanam’s discourses intently. While conducting the Vidwat Sadas (an assembly of scholars), Sri Sannidhanam would ensure that whatever He talked met with Sri Mahasannidhanam’s approval. Admiring the divine relationship between Sri Mahasannidhanam and Sri Sannidhanam, Dr. Mandana Mishra, a reputed educationalist and Sanskrit scholar, once said to Mahasannidhanam: “We have read that Shankara’s disciples went with him. How was he? How were his disciples? I was only conjecturing. Now I have come to the conclusion that they must have been like this. It is so satisfying.”

of Sringeri and of the neighboring areas should be given proper medical facilities. The 100-bed hospital received constant attention from Sri Mahasannidhanam who took all steps to modernize it in all respects. The hospital now has separate units for ‘Ayurveda’ and ‘Homeopathy’ too. A ‘Photo Gama Isotope Scanner’ was installed in the hospital in November 1992. Sri Mahasannidhanam always gave priority to the needs of Vedic Scholars. He was very firm in His view that in order to protect the Vedas, we must protect Vedic Scholars. Sri Sannidhanam was fully aware of His beloved Guru’s praiseworthy intentions. Following Sri Mahasannidhanam’s magnanimous attitudes, Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji has compassionately announced a lifetime allowance of Rs.1000/- per month to deserving Sastra Pundits. Paying a fitting tribute to Sri Mahasannidhanam, Sri Sannidhanam had a beautiful and majestic granite Adhistanam (Samadhi temple) built at Narasimhavanam. Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji performed the Kumbabhisheka of the Adhistanam on the 12th of May 1993.

Ideal Pontiff

At Sringeri, under Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji, the Mutt has undergone many changes. Now one can write to the office in any of the Indian languages, or in English. Under the directions of His Holiness, a lot of improvement has been made in the Veda Patashalas. Most competent and well-learned scholars have been appointed to teach the students. Free food, textbooks and comfortable accommodation have been provided to the students. Sri Mahasannidhanam not merely supervises the schools, but also teaches the senior students. He personally conducts tests, encourages deserving students, tries to help the slow learners and encourages even the teachers through some programmes. The Veda Patashala has been producing competent scholars who settle down in various parts of the country and serve as Pundits or Purohits. As for performances of Homas and Yagnas Sri Mahasannidhanam personally supervises them so that the scriptural injunctions are implemented to the last letter. The Mutt conducts Sata Chandi Homa, Sahasra Chandi Homa, Atirudra Homa and the like for the welfare of the world.

For the convenience of the increasingly large number of devotees and pilgrims coming to Sringeri, the most compassionate Guru, Sri Mahasannidhanam, had decided in the mid-1980s to construct a bridge across the river Tunga to link the Mutt complex on the northern bank with Narasimhavanam on the southern bank. He had entrusted the design and construction of the bridge to a reputed concern with the requisite expertise. The top management of the company held His Holiness in great regard and undertook the task with dedication. Sri Mahasannidhanam lucidly explained the requirements and his conception of the bridge. He unfailingly kept himself fully posted with the developments. Unmindful of the strain, he regularly visited the construction site, keenly observed the work and, whenever appropriate, proffered encouragement and sagacious counsel. By his grace considerable progress was made by the time he attained Maha Samadhi in September 1989. Actively interested in the quick completion of the noble task commenced by iis Guru, His Holiness finally inaugurated the bridge on 21st May 1990. He named the bridge Vidyatirtha Sethu.

Sri Mahsannidhanam, an authority on the scriptures, sees to it that they serve their purpose. Sri Mahasannidhanam, being aware of the increasing inflow of pilgrims and devotees, has had new guest houses built and named them ‘Sri Sharada Krupa’ and ‘Yatri Nivas’. Sri Mahaswamiji is accessible to the devotees twice a day, in the morning during the theertha prasadam distribution and in the evening. His Holiness receives everyone cheerfully, with a smile. He poses tender questions, listens to what they have to say and offers valuable suggestions. He accepts Bhiksha and witnesses the Pada Puja, which the devotees perform to his Guru’s and to Goddess Sharada’s Padukas.

The Sharada Dhanvantari Charitable hospital run by the Mutt at Sringeri is the brainchild of Sri Mahasannidhanam who strongly felt that the residents June 2021

Even though his daily schedules are very tight, His Holiness attends to all his pontifical duties with admirable enthusiasm and sincerity keeping in mind not only the rich traditional values of the Sringeri Guru Parampara but also the great responsibility entrusted to him by His peerless Preceptor, Sri Abhinava Vidyatirtha Mahaswamiji.

Mahaswamiji’s off-hand quoting of Sastraic passages and his encouragement to young scholars and debutants. For the past many years, during the Chaturmasya period, his Holiness has been conducting classes in the Brahma Sutras to a select band of sincere devotees. The students invariably assert that they are delighted by the lucid way in which His Holiness makes them understand the text.

Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji’s unquestionable scriptural knowledge would be evident to anyone who has watched His Holiness during the Vidwat Sadas dedicated to Lord Ganapati, conducted every year for 10 days commencing on the fourth day of the bright fortnight of the lunar month of Bhadrapada. The Sadas is held every evening in the august presence of His Holiness. Learned scholars and philosophers, invited from all over India and Nepal, assemble in the Sadas. It is customary for each Vidwan to choose some text and analyze it in the mornings with other Vidwans and discuss it in detail in the evenings in the august presence of His Holiness. His Holiness encourages candid communication among the scholars and intervenes when any issue remains undecided and settles the same in his characteristic style. The most impressive aspect in the Sadas is Sri Bharati Tirtha

Sri Shankara Bhagavatpada in his Mathamnaya Sashana said that any sage occupying the position of the Jagadguru of Sri Sringeri Sharada Peetham in the unbroken apostolic succession is an incarnation of himself. Jagadguru Sri Sri Sri Bharati Tirtha Mahaswamiji is a worthy example.

PLANETS AND COVID-19 THIRD WAVE Continued from page 14 on May 22 only adding to the misery. As days progress, the cases around the world will continue to rise, becoming deadlier. Mars moves to Cancer on June 3, 2021 easing things a bit. It will no longer be aspecting Virgo and Sagittarius. This is when we can see the cases mortality rates to reduce but the number of cases will continue to rise across the globe. Around third week of July 2021 is when we will see the cases to flatten and by August they will decline.

Capricorn, the situation will improve. By April 2022. In summary, it appears that a third wave is expected in the month of October 2021. The wave will be deadlier. And the wave is likely to end by July 2022. I’ve made an attempt to design an astrological model for the Covid-19 pandemic. The outlook basis this model looks scary and terrifying. I sincerely hope that my model is flawed and that the Covid-19 pandemic ends very soon without a third wave. I also earnestly request you to stay safe, maintain personal hygiene, observe physical distancing and help #breakthechain. Astrological indications are not deterministic. With considerable human effort coupled with Mantra japams and Yagnas, the intensity of the evil events can be diminished. I recommend you do Maha Mrityunjaya Mantra japam daily. The japam should be done immediately after sunset for 108 times or as many multiples of that. Along with the Japam, I recommend performing Agnihotra Homa weekly. The homam can be done in your respective houses. You can do the homan yourself and without the service of a priest.

Fast forward to second week of October 2021. Jupiter retrogrades back to Capricorn. Around that time, Mars, Mercury, and the Sun are in Virgo activating the sign. Venus, Moon and Ketu are in Scorpio activating it. Sagittarius gets mildly activated due to the aspect of Mars. Capricorn will be activated by biggies Jupiter and Saturn. A third wave of the coronavirus is seen at this time. The wave will be deadlier. As all the nine planets – the Sun, the Moon, Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Rahu, and Ketu will be affecting the crucial signs – Virgo, Scorpio, Sagittarius, and Capricorn. Things will be quite bad in October and November. As Jupiter enters Aquarius again, the mortality rates might improve. The trends will continue till April 2022. As planets move further and leave June 2021

identify, the planets which may relate to the two species, surely will be Moon and Saturn. Hare, in several Vedic stories is designated as symbol of Moon, whereas tortoise goes for Saturn as Lord Vishnu used species of tortoise to incarnate, which was then resembling Shani. From astrological point of view, Saturn and Moon is a very difficult combination. The Saturn and Moon conjunction generally gives depression, melancholy and also several mental issues. However, this combination is also very sacred which give rise to the Sanyasa Yoga, which we will discuss in the present paper.

का यानां कमणां यासं स यासं कवयो िवद:ु | सवकमफल यागं ाह यागं िवच णा: ||

(Bhagavad Gita, Chapter 18, Verse – 2)

Krishna, here gives differences on the terms ‘Sanyasa’ and ‘Tyaga’ and accordingly, gives lucid explanation in upcoming verses on how to discriminate the two. According to the verse, the learned performs ‘Sanyasa’, by which one mean to renounce the actions which are performed due to desire. However, the wise practices ‘Tyaga’, due to which they relinquish the fruits of all actions. There is a slight difference between the two. And, if one tries to go closer to the statement, he will end up in ‘renouncing’ the job. However, the aim of the paper is to find planets and their peculiar combinations, which are most likely to produce such auspicious feeling in the native.

But, as mentioned above, there exist a race between these two. So, finding out exactly who won the race in this natal chart (Saturn v/s Moon) is our main objective.

Asceticism Yoga (Sanyasa Yoga)

Asceticism is key to Saturn. It can lead one to that path and it is also well known, that it has produced great yogis or sages. It is believed that Lord Rama, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu suffered exile just with onset of Saturn Dasa. And the assertion seems to be correct if we check how he was abandoned by the king (Dasaratha, his father). However, when we search astrology books, we get the real facts that alone Saturn is not responsible for asceticism. There is definitely an involvement of Chandra or the Moon. This paper revolves around these two planets, and will try to get into the depth of the consequences and other factors, by which these two grahas develop spiritual tendencies in the native.

“Now I will describe to you the Yogas, leading to ascetism, under the influence of which the persons give up their homes and become initiated in some holy order.” These are the starting lines of Chapter 79 of Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra, where Parasara gives number of combinations leading to asceticism. Here, the author clearly states that under the influence of this, person ‘left his home’ and goes in pursuit of universal father. The first criteria, he gives is very famous – “..when four, or more Grahas, possessed of strength, occupy a single Bhava, then Sanyasa can be predicted.” Moreover, the holy order of it will be according to the strength of the planet.

Introduction

Further in the same, he talks about how Saturn and Mars, with certain relationship with Moon form the ascetic yoga. Accordingly, in point 8 of the same chapter Parasara says that –

In childhood, we all were taught an ancient story, written by an unknown author, the famous race of hare and tortoise. Generally, hare represents speed, whereas tortoise goes for steady. Besides these two main qualities, one more extra feature the tale represents is of constraints against halt. If we try to June 2021

by Shani, the native becomes an ascetic and enters the holy order, signified by Shani.”

So, here Parasara emphasizes on the Moon which is placed in either the Decanate or Navamsa of Shani or Mangala.

So, these two are the main criteria for asceticism, and by this, as mentioned the native will ‘leave the home’.

But, I like simplifying things. I would like to analyse what happens when Moon is ‘just’ in signs of Saturn is (Capricorn & Aquarius) or when it is placed in sign of Mars (Aries or Scorpio) and simultaneously gets aspect of Saturn or Mars, only till D1 chart is concerned. However, here we will limit the study to the spiritual tendency of a person, at minimum and to perfect asceticism (when the native will leave home) at maximum.

Since, the second criteria speak clearly about the Saturn or Mars, influence on Moon, it is obvious that Moon in such circumstance will get weak (some will argue, Moon may be in enemy Rasi must also possess strength, since she is queen, we will certainly omit the particular debate). So, When Moon is in Aries, Scorpio, Capricorn or Aquarius can give a native, a detached mind? We will quest this answer certainly.

Moon is exalted here, but getting (weak), due to presence of Ketu there. Saturn, aspect from house of Mars is directly responsible for making the mind of the native, to search the universal one.

Here, as above, Jupiter is filling the criteria of getting very strong. It is again exalted.

Further if Saturn or Mars, aspects the Moon, the native will tend toward prefect asceticism. Aspects and conjunction may ‘somewhat’ produce similar result. We can extend, the aspect of the Tamasic planet with conjunction.

First is the presence of strong Jupiter in more than 50% of the charts. The second most combination we discovered of Jupiter and Mars. It should be again more than 70% of the charts, we have mutual aspect/conjunction of Jupiter and Mars. So, this combination may also be a ’criteria’ for generating great saints.

Conclusion The point which was in question comes out to be exceptionally true. There was definitely a role of Saturn and Mars, in limiting one mind (Moon). Saturn aspect or conjunction in Moon is the main factor, which can lead one to path of spirituality. If Moon is taken as mind of a person, and Saturn as a teacher (Guru), then the combination seems to be perfect for Yogis or Yoginis. If mind is restricted with help of a Guru, then only great sages are born. So, for this sake Moon has to be afflicted. And, if the mind is conquered, then only one can transform to a sage.

Ramdeva Baba

In Lagna chart, Mars conjunct Moon, where Moon is exalted. Saturn is exalted, in Libra, but in no way aspect Moon. So, this particular chart is not satisfying the point(A). No relation between Jupiter and Mars is seen, in chart.

Mars & Moon conjunct in 7th, where both the planets is in Saturn’s House. Saturn is in own house. No relation between Mars and Jupiter.

We analysed only the basic relation of Saturn or Mars, in relation with Moon, due to which many questions remain unanswered. For example, what is the difference between Mars and Saturn aspect, or house wise and sign wise aspect? However, besides our pivotal point, we also discover two more points, dominating in most charts. First, is strong Jupiter and second, is Jupiter conjunction or may be otherwise aspect on Mars. These two points add up to more unanswered questions, such as – house wise or sign wise factors, the relation of Jupiter and Mars in Navamsa, status of Mars (Since, status of Jupiter is known, that it has to be strong).

Findings D1 Charts: In 5 charts among 7, Saturn conjunct with Moon. In 2 cases where it does not, the responsibility of Saturn is taken by Mars. Thus, Mars conjunct/aspect in the rest two. So, Moon must have influence of Saturn or Mars to form Sanyasa Yoga. In 3 charts among 7, Moon becomes strong. But, in the case Moon is afflicted with Mars or otherwise Ketu. Moon gets in sign of Saturn, only once, while in sign of Mars no case exists. Therefore, our assumption in point (A) is not coming valid. Hence, the sign occupied by Moon does not seem to playing a ‘mandatory’ role. But, for sure Moon in sign of Saturn or Mars can enhance the particular result.

Perform your duties without attachments and insistence on particular results. Accept them gracefully and gratefully.

In 4 out of 7 charts, Jupiter gets exalted. Strikingly, Guru-Mangala Yoga is present in more than 70% of the charts. In 5 out of 7 charts, Jupiter conjunct or aspect Mars.

Coronavirus is still not gone, and the country is now facing an second wave where the virus is even more powerful than before. I am presenting a simple analysis of the possible reason behind this occurrence from a astrological view. We all know the position of planets on 22/23rd March 2020 when the lockdown started. The following chart explains that. Consider the position of Uranus. As you can see the impact of Uranus in causing the pandemic. Su Mo Me Sa Ma

Why is the pandemic so serious? Uranus is in 16.260 and Uranus is associated with Sun, Mercury and Venus. Roga Sthana lord is Mercury from Uranus and Sun. Uranus is in Bharani Venus star. Venus is lord of 2nd face, 7th Libra. We know Ashtakavarga kundali. Each planet rules 03.450. First 3.450 by Saturn, second up to 7.300 by Jupiter, third by Mars up to 11.150, 4th by Sun up to 15.000, 5th by Venus up to 18.450. That is at present Uranus is in Venus kaksha and next 6th lord Mercury kaksha up to 22.300. Uranus has to pass 18.450.

Uranus has to pass 180 45’ i.e., on 10th June 2021 around 16.30 hours Uranus moves to Mercury kaksha, leaving Venus. As long as Uranus is in Venus star Bharani, Corona virus will be there. At present the Sun is in Bharani nakshatra and is not helpful. Uranus is scared of Sun because of his associations with lord of Bharani star, Venus. Once Sun moves to Krithika nakshatra on 11th May 2021, 13.00 hours, the pandemic will be even more serious. Preventive measures will reduce the risk since both Jupiter and Saturn aspects Libra the 7th maraka to Uranus. We can expect many types of medicines Ayur, Alopathy and Homeo coming up to save lives during May 1st week.

ONE-FACED RUDRAKSHA: THE FORM OF PARAMA SHIVA Prof. Dr. Rudra Prasanna Mohapatra Dr Rudra Prasanna Mohapatra is an astrological consultant practicing for last 5 years. He is a Ph. D. (Vidya Vachaspati) Scholar in Astrology (Medical Astrology) at Shree Maharshi College of Vedic Astrology, Udaipur, Rajasthan, and an honorary Professor, Ph.D. and D.Litt. from Prixton University, Florida, USA. He is also a registered member to All India Federation of Astrologers, Societies (AIFAS) and International Society For Astrological Research (ISAR). His interest is in the study of Rudraksh and that’s why he works under the title of “Rudraksh Jyotish.” In July 2020, he was conferred with honorary title of “GURU” by Prixton Church and University, Germany than the Indonesian varieties. Both in astrology and spirituality, when anybody wears a Nepal variety it shall take maximum one week to act upon the wearer while the Indonesian varieties may take two weeks (double the time). If a higher faced Nepal Rudraksha like sixteen faced Rudraksha would take 2-3 days to have any impact, the same Rudraksha of Indonesian variety shall take one week (double the time) to have its impact on the wearer. Besides, the cost of the Indonesian variety is much lesser than the Nepal variety. Anybody can also wear these varieties in a mixed form to get the best benefits with affordable costs. Normally, one-faced Rudraksha is found in the older Rudraksha trees which are capable of delivering many rare and higher faced Rudraksha. In case of Nepal’s one-faced Rudraksha, as it is a little bigger, few textures are found. Often these textures are compared with Shiv ling, Serpent, Trident (Trisula). Even if these textures, appear like this, these textures have no additional impact on the wearer. In his coffeetable book “Rudraksha: The Mystic Seed” (2010), K.T. Subhakaran has given many Rudrakshas with such textures of various Gods and Goddesses of Hindu mythology. It is also advised by many to worship onefaced Rudraksha by keeping it in puja place. Eventually, no Rudraksha can deliver its results if not worn. Only by wearing the Rudraksha, it shall add its frequency to the body. It can be thought in the way that Rudraksha as a fruit and seed needs a body to grow. Hence, the Rudraksha shall grow in the human body after wearing it.

Ekavakram Tu Rudraksham Paratattvasvaroopakam I Taddhahranaatpare Tattve Leeyate Vijitendriyaha II The One-faced Rudraksha represents the Supreme Reality. Wearing it, one can completely control the sense and eventually merges in the Supreme Reality. -

The Rudraksha Jabal Upanisad

AUM NAMO BHAGAVATE RUDRAAYA. One-faced Rudraksha is the least seen and worn Rudraksha. The biggest myth associated with it is that it is round shaped bead and extremely rare. Hence, to get a round shaped one-faced Rudraksha it may take a lot of years. The fact is no round shaped one-faced Rudraksha is found till date. Those round-shaped onefaced Rudraksha are the manipulated beads or artificial beads. A five faced Rudraksha can be turned into a round shaped one-faced Rudraksha after closing all its furrows of faces. However, an overt view of this Rudraksha shall exactly be pentagonal, not round. The Kaju Dana (Cashew Nut) or Ardha Chandrakaar (HalfMoon Shaped) Rudraksha, found in Haridwar and Rameswaram of India, are also said to be one-faced Rudraksha (Elaeocarpus tuberculatus Roxb). They are not even Rudraksha as they are not from the tree of Elaeocarpus ganitrus Roxb. They are said to be Bhadraaksh (no natural hole) with no properties of Rudraksha. These beads, however, have some medicinal properties; but lack any frequency which can affect the Chakra of the wearer. The most common one-faced Rudraksha found in the world are the Indonesian varieties. They are half-elliptical, oval, and small. Spiritual masters imply it with the shape of Shiva Netra. In Indonesia, it is also known as “Jinetra”. The same variety of Nepal are rarely found. The Nepal varieties are a little bit larger than the Indonesian varieties. It is a rumour that the Indonesian varieties shall not work like the Nepal varieties. In fact, Indonesian varieties have the same frequencies like those of Nepal varieties and the wearer of both the varieties have got the same results. The only difference is Nepal varieties works quicker June 2021

One-faced Rudraksha is said to be the Shiva himself. It is compared with the third eye of Shiva (Shivanetra). Persons who want to get the drop of spirituality, shall only wear this Rudraksha. In astrological term this is associated with planet Sun. In the book “The Power of Rudraksha” by Kamal Narayan Seetha it is also mentioned so. Interestingly, there is no scriptural reference showing that one-faced Rudraksha is associated with Sun. Only twelve-faced Rudraksha is used for Sun. Few recent researchers on Rudraksha 28

THE ASTROLOGICAL eMAGAZINE

also associate one-faced Rudraksha with Uranus. All the explanations about the Rudraksha are found in the Purana like the Shiva Purana, the Katyayani Purana, Nirnya Sindhu etc. In these scriptures, Rudraksha are associated with various Gods and Goddesses. Based on these Gods and Goddesses, the planetary assignment for these Rudrakshas are decided. For example, a six-faced Rudraksha is associated with lord Karthikeya. Kartikeya was a warrior and commander. Hence, the ruling planet for Six-faced Rudraksha is Mars. Similarly, an eight-faced Rudraksha is associated with lord Ganapati. Hence, the ruling planet is Ketu. But for many astrologers it represents Rahu with no scriptural basis into it. Primarily, in astrology, one-faced to nine-faced Rudraksha are assigned to the nine planets in cardinal order without any scriptural basis. One-faced Rudraksha as the Shiva himself, can be worn for any planetary combinations as Shiva is the ruler of all nine planets. However, the planet that is deeply associated with lord Shiva is Moon. Hence, all Rudrakshas more or less shall impact Moon. In practice, wearing Rudraksha brings emotional stability indicating its control over Moon. Similarly, the astrological use of one-faced Rudraksha can be thought of for more than one planetary combination. It can be worn for Navagraha Shanti. According to Shiv Purana the Bija mantra is “Aum Hreem Namah”.

Rudraksha) which proves the balanced functioning of neurotransmitters, dopamine and serotonin leading to calm functioning of brain. Hence, one-faced Rudraksha controls mental anxiety and improves eye power. In astrology, Sun is the significator of eyesight and neurons. This is possibly why it is used for Sun in astrology. Indian One-faced Rudraksha (Bhadraaksh)

The spiritual use is that the wearer always feels meditative and likes to remain alone. Hence, persons below the age of fifty are not advised to wear this Rudraksha which may have some negative impact on the familial life. According to Sadhguru Jaggi Vasudev, founder of Isha Yoga Center, no family man should wear one-faced Rudraksha as it shall drag the wearer to Sannyasa. However, any person in its spiritual path must wear a one-faced Rudraksha to get the bliss of lord Shiva. One-faced Rudraksha governs Sahasrara Chakra. Imbalance of Sahasrara Chakra leads to depression, obsessive thinking, confusion and dizziness. One-faced Rudraksha balances this Chakra by which the wearer gets the clarity of mind and connection to Gods and spirit. One-faced Rudraksha symbolizes the link between earth and heaven. It links the human consciousness to the ultimate consciousness. One-faced Rudraksha is blessed with the energy of Parama Shiva. Hence it gives liberation from the cycle of birth and death. It is explained in the Vidyesvara Samhita, “Even a glimpse of one-faced Rudraksha washes away the sins of Brahmana Hatya (killing of Brahmins, worst sins in Hinduism). Dr. Nibodhi Haas in his book “Rudraksha: The Seeds of Compassion” also explains that one-faced Rudraksha gives the power for Dharana to the wearer. Dharana is the power of concentration on a single subject. The wearer of one-faced Rudraksha starts to feel renunciation from worldly affairs and becomes naturally inclined towards self-realization. As one-faced Rudraksha is very powerful as well as small, it must be worn in a metal cap. Only one one-faced Rudraksha is enough to show its results and multiple one-faced Rudraksha should not be worn. It enhances knowledge about the Supreme (Brahma Gyan) and the wearer in known to win over the senses. In Padma Purana (Chapter 57, verses 38-39) it is explained “The rudraksha of one face (Ekavaktram) is virtually Shiva. It removes all kinds of sins. Therefore, one should wear it for the destruction all sins. He would go to Shiva’s haven and rejoice with Shiva”.

As explained earlier, the ruling planet is supposed to be Sun. Twelve-faced Rudraksha which is blessed by twelve Sun (Dwadasha Aditya Roopam) is the best for remedies of Sun. In reality, one-faced Rudraksha has more spiritual attributes to it than astrological attributes. One-faced Rudraksha makes the wearer unidirectional. Astrologically, if any house is occupied by more than two planets, the native will be confused regarding the signification of that house. For example, if the 10th house is occupied by Mars, Mercury and Sun, the native may think of getting into private job and government job as well. He shall be aggressive in his effort as Mars is occupying the house. Hence, this sort of native needs to wear one-faced Rudraksha to work in one sector with peace in mind. Uniformly, Mars and Sun in 6th house makes the person extremely aggressive in competition. To reduce the aggressiveness, a one-faced Rudraksha may be worn. Political leaders in India are found to wear one-faced Rudraksha. The then prime minister Mrs. Indira Gandhi was found to wear a complete Kantha Mala of onefaced Rudraksha. One-faced Rudraksha is the only Rudraksha which is capable by itself to deliver all results. No other additional Rudraksha is necessary with this Rudraksha. It is explained in the Vidyesvara Samhita “Yatra Sampujita Statra Laxmirdurtara Nahi”. This means wherever the one-faced Rudraksha is worshiped Goddess Lakshmi (goddess of wealth) is not too far. As far as the health benefits are concerned, Dr. Subas Ray of Banaras Hindu University, has proved the electromagnetic and paramagnetic properties of one-faced Rudraksha (including other June 2021

The transit of current Rahu in the sign of Taurus. Rahu at the time of Solar eclipse on June 10, 2021 is at 160:38’ in the constellation of Rohini 2nd pada. While in the independant chart, Rahu is posited in the sign of Taurus too at 50:45’ in the constellation of Kritikka 3rd pada and is very close to the rising degree of India at 70:47’. The effect of Rahu in Taurus will have influencial impact on India. Rahu/Ketu axis along the Taurus and Scorpio mode is powerful as these are exalted points for the ascending and decending nodes.

The constellation of Mrigashirsha is considered as star of exploration or research. It depicts people with vast learning, especially those in scientific exploration. This includes people with mystical outlook. As discussed by Uma Pada Sen, the constellation as elicited in Rigveda is ruled by Prajathipathi, the creator of the universe, and Kalapurusha. There is a tendency of new scientific discoveries about the universe will be expounded. According to Vashisht Vaid, the saint Agastya has described the constellation of Margashirsa as “Especially among them is the ‘Mrigasirsha or Maargazhi Rashi’ [Orion Constellation], vitally existing as being the ‘Head Source’ of many ‘Vital Cosmic Forces’.

Historical evidence prove that Taurus transit do have an effect on India. The independent chart shows Taurus rising (70:47’) and Rahu was 50:45’ in Taurus. • When Mars (4:51 Taurus) transit close this point during the year on May 5, 1857 the historical event of Indian Mutiny started.

The Orion belt, in which the Margashirsha constellation is situated is considered as Prajathipathi mandala, it is related to Rudra, who has power to heal. In fact, the word Orion may have been derived from Sanskrit. This is pointed out by Bala Gangadhar Tilak, in the book THE ORION: THE ANTIQUITY OF THE VEDAS. “Orion according to already established phonetic rules, I know of no name of Rudra from which Orion can be so derived. But if we look to the names of the constellation of Mrigashiras, we may, I think in the absence of any better suggestion, provisionally derived Orion from Sankrit Agrayana, the original of Agrahdyana.”

• Similarily, the Black Hole Calcutta which happened on June 20, 1756, Mars was transiting the navamsa of Taurus. • Even the death of Mahatma Gandhi which happened on January 30, 1948 had Sun/Ketu in Taurus Navamsa and Rahu in Scorpio Navamsa. • The first Indian Satellite Aryabhatta was launched on April 19, 1975, when Rahu/Ketu axis was in Scorpio/Taurus axis. Ketu was just exactly on the rising Lagna of India, Venus in close conjunction. • Emergency imposed by the Indira Gandhi Government on June 25, 1975 had Ketu/Mercury in Taurus axis, Saturn in Navamsa of Taurus.

Solar Eclipse During Saturn and Mars Opposition Mars moves to the sign of Cancer on June 2, 2021 and becomes opposition to Saturn in Capricorn. The Sun will move to Gemini on June 15, 2021. Mars would have progressed about 80 in Cancer in to constellation of Pusya 2nd pada. Infact, the exact oppostion of Mars and Saturn will fall in the post Solar eclipse period till July 20, 2021.

Basing on the Indian independence chart, the Saturn/Mars position will occur in Janma Rasi while the Solar eclipse occurs in the Janma lagna. It may have an impact on Mr. Narendra Modi’s leadership. Mars will cross five natal planets in India’s Moon sign. During this period India will be undergoing end of Moon dasa/Saturn bukthi, which will be overlaped by debilitated transit of Mars. This calls for extra security for the leadership of the country. Sun will join Mars on July 16, 2021 adding fuel to already tensioned period.

Conclusion

This period will promote tension around the globe causing aggression, riots, violence, uncompromising leadership, natural disasters such as earthquake, tornadoes, land slides, heavy floods. Volcanic eruptions and chemical explosion hazards are also potential events

Both Lunar and Solar eclipses will influence the development in India as the Lunar eclipse occurs in the Moon sign of Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Solar eclipse occurs on India’s independence chart. The Rahu/Ketu axis along Taurus and Scorpio axis, and current Ketu with Moon/Mars of the Prime Minister will make him firm, consistent, and withstand the turbulance caused by the political scenarios of India. The Space exploration will develop to a higher advanced technology. The only hurdles during this period is the Saturn and Mars opposition that happens concurrently with the eclipse.

As pointed by E.S. Kennedy, for Mars, it is the cause of wars, taking in bondage, slavery, insurrection of many people, and anger of the chiefs, especially within people of the same race, and that which afflicts some people with anger, ignonimity, transgressions, the abandoning of religious law, conflagration, plundering, and killing.

Preceding Lunar Eclipse – May 26, 2021

The June 10, 2021 Solar eclipse will be preceded by a total Lunar eclipse on May 26, 2021. This eclipse will only be viewed as partial eclipse in few places in India. This Lunar eclipse is important as it falls along Taurus and Scorpio axis and it is the Moon sign of the Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi and a Solar eclipse which occurs on June 10, 2021 on the birth lagna of India.

The two eclipses will have important milestones on India and its leadership. The positive element about the eclipse is that they occur on 5th and 11th place from India’s Natal Moon. New ventures, new settlements are possible. As Mercury and Mars is an harmonious 5th aspect of Jupiter, a good development in information technology and communication is anticipated especially in sofware and computer related fields. Matters related to media and freedom need to be kept under vigilance. June 2021

WORDS OF WISDOM

By Avadhoota Datta Peethadhipati Jagadguru Parama Pujya Sri Sri Sri Ganapathy Sachchidananda Swamiji

May 26th Reverential Birthday Greetings to the Senior Pontiff, Avadhoota Datta Peetham, Mysore

“There is a lot of difference between knowledge and discretion. Gaining knowledge is the art of learning while acquiring discretion is the art of living.”

June 2021

THE ASTROLOGICAL eMAGAZINE

www.astrologicalmagazine.com

THE ASTROLOGICAL EMAGAZINE PANCHANGA FOR JUNE 2021 First column gives the English dates and next to it the names of the regional months and dates. The ending moments of Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana are given in the 24 hour clock extending to 30 hours. Of the Nityayogas, Vishkumbha, Parigha, Vyatipata, Vajra, Vyaghata, Vaidhruthi, Sula, Ganda and Atiganda are generally spurned for auspicious events and they are marked in red in the Panchanga. Vydhruti pervades from 346 40’ to 360 and Vyatipata from 213 20’ to 226 40’ of the sum of the Nirayana longitudes of the Sun and the Moon. Vydhruti and Vyatipata punyakaala are observed on the day when the yogas prevail for 1½ hours or more, when Sraddha is performed by the astute. These two belong to the shannavati -96- Sraddhas ordained for a householder. Considering the astronomical implications, the Sayana Vydhruti and Vyatipata days are also indicated in the Panchanga. The auspicious Amritayoga and Siddhayoga and inauspicious Maranayoga and Prabalarishtayoga come under Amirtaadiyoga scheme and are different from the Nityayogas. The Karana is the half of the Tithi. They are mainly classified as Sthira - fixed or immovable and Chara or moveable. The Chara Karanas are seven in number and the Sthira are only four. The fixed ones are inauspicious. They are Sakuni, Chatushpada, Naga and Kimsatugna. The seven movable Karanas are in their order, Bava, Baalava, Kaulava, Taitila, Gara, Vanija and Vishti (or Bhadra.) Among the movable Karanas Vishti or Bhadra is considered to be of dreadful. The forbidden Karanas are marked in red for easy identification. We have most of our religious obser vances pegged on to the Tithis. Pournamipooja Chandradarisana, Sankataharachaturthi Vrata, Shastivrata, Ekadasi Vrata and Pradosha are specially mentioned in the Panchanga. Pournamipooja is done in the evenings on days the full Moon is prevalent. Chandradarisana is observed on the evening on the day when the crescent Moon appears for the first time in the west after the Amavasya. Chaturthi of the Krishnapaksha or Bahula Chaturthi of every month is known as Sankataharachaturthi. The evenings of Sukla and Krishna Trayodasi days are specially observed as Pradosha Vrata days.
