Atma-Bandhana By Visti Larsen Guide and Guru: Sanjay Rath

Bandhana Çré Süta: prakåtyädyañöabanddhojévaùsa ucyate|| prakåtyädyañöabandhonanirmuktomukta ucyate||2|| The ätman is called jéva because it is bound down in eight types of chains of präkåti (nature). When freed from these bondages it is no longer considered a jéva and instead called mukta (free) – Translated by Pt. Sanjay rath

Mukti Çiva Puräëa VS.18.3 prakåtyädivaçékäromokñaityucyatesvataù|| baddhajévastunirmuktomuktajévaùsakathyate||3|| Emancipation is the stage of complete control of these bondages of präkåti etc. One who is trapped in the bondages is called a jéva and one who has been freed is called a mukta (liberated being).

Eight bondages Çiva Puräëa VS.18.4: prakåtyagretatobuddhirahaìkäroguëätmakaù|| païcatanmätramityeteprakåtyädyañöakaàviduù||4 Präkåti includes guëätmaka, buddhi (intelligence) and ahaàkära, and the five tanmäträ Five tanmatra - five planets (Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn) Gunätmaka - atma (self) with qualities = Moon. Ahamkara – Sense of self/self identiy = Sun Buddhi – Rahu. This refers to the Buddhi which causes one to THINK one is different from Paramatman (Refer:Adi Sankara’s commentary of Gita).

The ˜tmakaraka enjoys a pre-eminent position among the planets and represents divinity in the horoscope (i.e. the Ista Devata in the Hindu tradition). It is the controller of the affairs of the native and the sustainer, like a king, deciding and guiding the affairs of his subjects. Its disposition in to be examined for bondage & liberation (i.e. emancipation). - Translation by Pt. Sanjay Rath

• Which house shows moksha? • Twelfth house shows moksha and also lack of the same, namely bandhana. This must be seen from Atmakaraka always. • In the rasi (d1) it shows physical bondage or freedom • In navamsa (d9) it shows real moksha • In dasamsa (d10)it shows the bondage in career. Similarly see other divisional charts for education (d24), propperty (d4) wealth (d2), etc. • In shastyamsa (d60) it shows the cause for your rebirth in this life

A mother, can save her own child from bondage by 1) keeping a picture of the child next to Shiva. 2) Lighting a lamp. 3) offering flowers, sandalpaste, food and incense. Thereafter meditate on the bija mantra of the childs atmakaraka planet. You can do this for anyone! Be choosy… don’t liberate people from a jail unless you are sure they will become better people outside of the jailcell. If in doubt then don’t do it.

Ketu grants moksha BPHS, kärakäàçaphalädhyäyaù, çloka 64&65 k˜rak˜Õþ˜d vyayasth˜ne svabh˜nyasthe þubhah˜he | þadgatijŸyato tasya þubhalekamav˜pnuy˜t || k˜rak˜Õþ˜da vyaye ketau cubhakhe÷ayutekhite | tad˜ tu j˜yate mukti s˜yujyapadam˜pnuy˜t ||

If exalted planets or planets in own sign (i.e. 12th Lord itself) or natural benefics are placed in the 12th house from K˜rak˜Õþa, the soul transmigrates to beneficial world after death. If Ketu is so placed and only aspected or joined benefics, final emancipation (from the cycle of rebirth) shall be obtained. Brhat Parasara Hora Shastra, - Translation by Sanjay Rath

In Navamsa the twelfth from Atmakaraka reveals which form of God will give you Moksha. If Ketu is associated with this form, Moksha CAN be attained through this. No answers are final when it comes to predicting moksha, but Ketu indicates the great void, nirvana or mahashunya, which is experienced during Samadhi and which grants siddhis due to the blessings of Ganesha. Worship the Devata of graha(s) associated with Ketu to attain deeper spiritual experiences. • If these are associated with twelfth from karakamsa (AK in navamsa) then enlightenment and moksha is achieved. • If with Bhratrikaraka then inner-yoga with the Guru is achieved (pratibha).
