Meena 2 System Based on NADI Principles

Nadi Jyothisha - Jeeva and Sareera

Out of many important factors which have to be taken into consideration and special attention has to be paid for assessing the the results results of a House or Bhava are Jeeva and Sareera. Sareera. The soul is named as Jeeva and the body goes by the appellation of Sareera. The Jeeva and the Sareera have to be worked out for every Bhava or House for proper predictions as they are the main planets on whom the results depend to some extent. It may be noted thet the jeeva and Sareera planets should be benefics to the particular native and well posited in the chart apart from bene fic aspe cts cts etc for good results to to flow. flow. O ne has to conside conside r whether whether the the jeeva a nd Sareera planets are inimical to each o ther. Various Various a uthors and scholars have d ivergent ivergent views views abo ut the Jee va and the Sareera. Sareera. They have their own methods to find them out. Accor According ding to som e Nadi Granthas, Granthas, the Lag na is the so ul and the Chand ra Lagna is the Sareera. From From these it follows follows or could be inferred that the Lord of Lagna is the Jeeva Planet and the Sareera Planet is the one which owns the Chandra Rasi. Their Strengths or Weakness is reflected in the results. For predictions Lagna along with Chandra lagna and placement of Planets with reference these Lagnas are examined. Another view is that the owner of the house where a particular Bhavathipathi is posited is the Jeeva of that Bhava and the Lord of the House in which the Jeeva Planet is situated in the Sareera Planet. For example in a Mesha Lagna Horoscope in which Guru is in Simha and Ravi is in Vrishchika as per the chart 1 given below. The Jeeva planet of 9th house is Ravi and Kuja is the Sareera Planet of the 9th House.

The Lord of the 9th House Guru is in Simha so the Lord of Simha is the Jeeva planet of 9th House. Ravi, the Jeeva planet is in Vrishchika Vrishchika so the Lord of Vrishchika-Kuja Vrishchika-Kuja is the Sareera plane t. Some scholars arrive at the Jeeva and Sareera Planets by taking into consideration the Karakathwas. The Lord of  the house in which the Karakathwa is situated become the jeeva. The relevant House Lord counted from the placement of karakathwa planet become the Sareera Planet. The principle can be elucidated from the following example. In Cha rt 2 where where the Lagna is Mesha , the the Moo n, Chandra is in Kanya. Kanya. One of the Karak Karak athwa athwa of Chand ra is Mother. Mother. As Chandra is in kanya, its Lord budha becomes the jeeva planet for mother. 4th house represents mother so 4 houses counted from the placement of chandra is Dhanus, the lord of dhanus Guru becomes the Sareera planet for mother.

In the stellar system of astrology, the constellations and their lords are the basis to find out the jeeva and sareera planets of the respective bhavas or houses in a chart. The jeeva planet is the lord of the constellation in which the particular Bhava Lord is po sited and the Sareera plane t is the Lord of the star in which the Je eva plane t is situated. For example in a Mesha lagna horoscope, when Chandra ( lord of the 4th house ) is in the constellation Uthiradam ( Ravi’s star ) Ravi is termed as the Jeeva Planet for the 4th house. Ravi ( The Jeeva Planet in this case ) is in the constellation Po orattadhi, so the lord of Po orattadhi i.e., guru become s the Sareera planet for the 4th House.

Ravi’s jeeva planet for 4th house in Guru is the sareera pla net for the 4th house. Ravi is in Poorattadhi and Chandra is in Uthiradham. When the jeeva planet joins another strong or powerful planet, the powerful or stronger planet becomes the jeeva planet. In o ther words the stronge r or powerful pla net snatches away the right of the other planet. This m ay happ en in the case of Sareera also .The following ex am ple will mak e it clear. See chart 4 where Sukra is ex alted in Mee na.

Ravi is in Po orattadhi a nd Sukra in revathi. Chand ra is in Uthiradha m. Sukra is the jeeva planet and Budha is the Sareera planet of the 4th house. In the Chart no 4, Ravi and Sukra are in Meena, on account of the exaltation of Sukra, Ravi does not become the Jeeva Planet though Chandra is in the constellation of Ravi. In cases where the Bhava lord is in his own constellation, the Bhava Lord himself becomes the jeeva Planet. The Lord of the hous e in which the Jeeva lord is tenanted is the Sareera planet. For clarity see Chart 5 and ex planation thereon.

Chandra in Rohini. In the Chart 5 Chandra the lord of 4th house is in Rohini ( Chandra’s Constellation ) So Chandra becomes the Jeeva Planet and as Chandra is in Vrishabaha ( owned by Sukra ) Sukra becomes the Sareera Planet for the 4th Bhava or house. At times the Bhava lord is not only situated in his own constellation but also placed in his own house and in these cases the Jeeva planet itself becomes the Sareera planet. For explanation see chart 6.

Ravi is in Uththiram . The Lo rd of 5th Bhava ( P utra Bhava ) Ravi is in the constellation Uththiram which is owned by Ravi himself so he is the Jeeva plane t. As Ravi is in his own house simha , he is the sareera planet for the 5th house . In this connection it ma y be noted that Ra vi and guru have one of their constellations in their respe ctive house s. For good and favourable results to flo w, the following po int have to b e conside red along with other factors.

The Jeeva and Sareera planets should not be inimical to each other. The Gunas acquired b y the Jee va and Sareera plane ts should be in consonance with their own gunas . They ( jeeva and Sareera planets ) should be in benefic houses. The respective planets ( Jeeva and Sareera planets ) should not be associated or aspected by their enemies or situated in their enemy’s houses. The situation of Jeeva and Sareera planets in their friendly houses, exaltation houses, own houses and aspects of benefic planets should also be noted. The Jeeva and Sareera Theory as stated above are only extensions of principles in respect of houses applied to the constellations and their lords.

Top Prediction -Stellar Effects(Stellar Astrology)-Meena 2 System The Subject Predictive Astrology is one of the most complex parts in Astrology, most astrologers will be able to consider themselves in the subject. Predictive part and Timing of events poses the greatest challenge to an astrologer’s reputation. Now a days it is very difficult to get a Astro Guru who can fairly proficient to part his kno wledge to the society and he lp in interpret the se crets of a strology. Vaikuntavaasi Sri N V Raghava Chary (Meena 2) had given number of principles and interpretation techniques to arrive at timing of events in his work” Practical Stellar Astrology” (bas ed on Nadi P rinciples). In his Me ena 2 system he had given easy principles which helps an astrologer to foresee results. This article is based on Meena 2 system(Stellar Astrology)-I have taken one principle from his work and want to state here that how important the Stellar Astrology in Prediction. PRINCIPLE In cases where friendly and benefic planets aspect each other mutually, when a plant is situated in one of the constellations of the mutually aspecting planets, one can foresee beneficial and auspicious results at appropriate period or periods.

Ravi

In the above example, the Lagna is Mesha for which Guru is a Yoga Karaka Planet. Guru is in Uthiradam, the constellation belonging to Ravi who is also a Yoga karaka for Mesha Lagna. Chandra is the Lord of 4th House. There is the m utual aspe ct between R avi and Ch andra who are friends and further the Lords o f 5 and 4 are mu tually aspe cting which is good as a Yoga is fo rmed. As Guru who is in Uthiradam gets the e ffect of Ravi and Chand ra who are also the friends of Guru. Under these circumstances ben eficial results will be the o utcom e. PRINCIPLE In cases where friendly and benefic planets aspect each other mutually, when a planet is situated in one of the constellations of the mutually aspecting planets, one can foresee beneficial and auspicious results at appropriate period or periods .

Chart 2a

Rasi Ravi Sani

Lagna

Guru

Guru is in Uthiram Here the Lagna is Vrichika and Guru is a Yogakaraka for the said Lagna. Guru is in Uthiram. The constellation belongs to Ravi. Ravi is the owner of Simha and he is in the 10 th House. Sani is with Ravi in Simha where Ravi is more powerful than Sani as Ravi owns the house and he is also in the 10th House. There is also enmity between Ravi and Sani. So these examples are choosen to vividly demonstrate the effects and influences. As Guru is situated in the constellation of Ravi, Guru gets the effects of both Ravi and Sani (as they are together). The b eneficial results will have an ed ge o ver bad results.

Chart 2b

Ravi Sani Rasi

Lagna

Guru

Guru is in Uthiram It will be noticed in this Chart 2B there is the same combination of Ravi and Sani but it is Kumbha where Sani is stronge r than Ra vi. So Guru gets mo re of T ham asic Guna and less of Ra jasic Guna. In the previous illustration Guru was m ore Rajasic than Tha ma sic. In Cha rt 2B, the native is likely to fee l more of ba d results than of Goo d results or Effects.

Chart 2c

Sani Rasi Ravi

Lagna

Guru

Guru is in Uthiram In this example (2C) also Guru is posited in Uthiram. The constellation belonging to Ravi. Note the mutual aspect of Ravi-Sani from their own houses. The results or effects are likely to be mixed in nature. The reason is that aspe cting plane ts try to impos e their influences on the o ther.

Chart 2d

Ravi

Rasi Sani

Lagna

Guru

Ravi in Uthirattathi Guru in Uthiram In this Chart (2D),Ravi is in Uthirattathi (Sani’s Star) and he is also aspected by Sani from his own house. Thus Guru becomes practically a Thamsa, hence there is a likelihood of bad effects and a very minute degree of  bene ficial results as Guru aspe cts Sani. Above illustrated exa mple s will definitely give so me indication to every one that stellar effects are very impo rtant in prediction. The predictive side of Astrology is very tough as well as thorny, whatever system that is applied or followed for forecasting the e vents. Note: Uthiram - Uthirapha lguni Uthirattathi - Uthirabha dra pa dha

Top Importance of Astrology The Astrology has its effect from the ancient days to modern days. There are plenty of astrological views in Vedas meant for knowledge. The subjects depend on the person who understands and reproduces the fact. The study of  various me thods o f astrology is es sential for accurate prediction. In India , the way in which Naksatravidya, the science of stars, has been thought of even in the Vedic literature shows that it was regarded as one of the intellectual attainments. The word Naksa tra me ans star in ge neral as well as an asterism in the zodiacal belt. The star groups or naksatras were referred as Devagraghas. Parts of the body (Kalapurusa) in terms of naksatras has been described, the same has been explained very well in future lessons to come. This will help the students in medical astrology to identify affected parts and to suggest proper remedial measures. Horasastra or predictive astrology relating to horoscopes of individuals em phas izes that Karma and Puna rjanm a are powerful determinants of the lives of individuals. The individual has to perform good deeds and lead a pure life so that he can reap the benefits of good deeds and lead a pure life so that he can reap the benefits of good planetary influences in his future birth. Astrology is, there fore, a valuable guide to look up to, in order to ha ve an insight into one's own life, he re as well as he reafter. Astrology is not only a go od guide b ut warns the wary about the “weak and broken bridges” o n the way.. The Prayacittas or expiratory rites prescribed in the Dharma Sastras suggests that man is no automation in the hands of an inexorable Fate. It is the conviction of great sages and saints that by the self effort coupled with sincere de votion to God an d faith in oneself m an can rise a bove the influence of his environm ents. The twelve signs of the Zod iac represe nt soul pa tterns. The Sun ,atmakaraka and the Moon Manokaraka, these energies or powers will provide the required inner strength to the na tive. The acts of creation (srishti), protection (sthithi) and destruction (laya) are embedded in the womb of the all powerful time and this carinations are brought about as a consequence of this subtle power. The Sun by his daily movement s and the change of seasons brings to perfection the embryo in plants and animals and brings about

various changes on the earth. The Moon bring nearest to the earth exercises much influences on it and as she wanes and waxe s rivers to swell, the tides of the se a rules and plants and anima ls affected. The greatest men like Kepler, Pythagoras of the world believed in and practiced some of the basic problems in one's life which can be e ffectively answered by a strology. T he ques tions like the purpose for which one is born, the profession of the person , his financial status, marital happiness and other problems relating to marriage, wife and children, various tensions and accident proneness, and the question of death and so on can also be answered in astrology. Although knowledge of astrology will help to understand or analysis the mental and physical qualities of  any m an a nd the fo rtunes and m isfortunes that wait him a nd his progress in the world whose actual mom ent of birth is accurately known or otherwise can be analyzed through the horary or sakun a sastra. There is a proverb to quote”  Fools o bey plane ts while wise m en control them .”  An intelligent understanding of the stellar science could enable them to transmute their sorrow into equinity, their pleasure into understanding and ambition into benefic influence. Such a goal would however require much deeper kno wledge of a strological occultism. That which is inevitable cannot be a ltered but ma ny of the unhappy conditions of o ur life are susceptible to change . As students in the study of astrology they realize that we are here for certain purposes, each in his or her own place according to an orderly to cosmic plan, with opportunities to produce certain results by refining our reactions to planetary influences. There is not only pleasure but satisfaction and profit as well in the knowledge which astrology provides. Astrology ask s only impartial, fair investigation on its m erits and when accorded always em erges with the s am e respect other sciences enjoys. Any one with ordinary ability can learn much of Astrology. It is no longer a difficult study. With proper instruction and a reasonable amount of effort one can learn to cast a horoscope and read it so that it becomes a guide regarding impo rtant affairs of life. Some say that astrology is n art, some others rejects it as an ideal dream or an illusion. I would like to state here that astrology is a science and that it can render very useful service to one and all and create faith even in the septic, if one studies sincerely this course and Me ena2 system.

Top Prediction Techniques-KP The art of prediction of timing of events prognosticated by various indications or combinations found in the Birth Chart or Horary Chart. It goes without saying that success in reading charts depend s to a considerable e xtent on the skill of the astrologe r and me thods applied b y him to predict correctly the probab le periods of the various events of  life indicated by the birth chart or horary chart. There are number of methods available to give prediction, if an astrologer follow a easy and tested method without much of mathematical calculation then he will become very successful and his name and fame will skyrocket. The primary commitment of an astrologer is to predict the events to the customer. Events are of various types. Nevertheless the typical customer, being immensely curious, pesters the astrologer to know when he can expect good events in his life. However experience of renowned astrologers whom I have association proves that KP formulas are working very well in p in pointing the e vents in life. In Stellar astrology, the star is very impo rtant and it needs due conside ration in prediction. Each star is d ivided into nine unequal divisions called sub divisions named as SUB and each planet is allotted one sub division in the same proportion and in the same order as per Vimshottari Dasa System. The Lo rd of the sub division is called sub lord. In KP System the cusp refers to the beg inning of the house . The lord of the sign in which the cusp falls is referred to as Bhava lord or House lord, the lord of the star (constellation) in which the cusp falls as Star lord and the lord of the sub division in which the cusp falls as sub lord. Similarly we will have to an alyze for the Plane t Sign, Star and Sub lord. The Sub Lord of the Sub-division in which the cusp falls signifies the result of that House or Bhava more predom inantly am ong the Sign lord, star lord and the sub lord is use ful for detailed read ing of that Bhava. In Stellar astrology the planet deposited in the particular star gives the results of the lord of the star and acts as an agent. The planet transiting in a sign is the source of the event, the lord of the star in which the planet is transiting signifies the nature of the event according to its nature, occupation and lordship, while at the same time the sub lord decides whether the event is favourable o r not according to its nature, occupation a nd lo rdship.

Significators: The following are the significators o f Bhava in the order of strength.: • Plane t deposited in the constellation of the occupant of the Bhava (this is the strongest) • The occupant of the Bhava. • The plane t deposited in the constellation of the lord of the Bhava. • The lord of the Bhava • The pla nets conjoined with or aspe cting the above s ignificators and also the Bhava in que stion. How to select fruitf ul significators? The selection of correct significators gives accurate prediction. As such, which of the significators are fruitful and which o f them are just tem ptors have to be found out. I f many planets becom e significators, then the selection will have to be ma de from am ongst them either on se lective basis or in the order of strength or by elimination bas is by eliminating the just temptors or weak significators. Methods to p redict the timing of events: An event will materialize during the conjoined period of the Dasa, Bhukthi and Anthara lords who happen to be the common planets derived from the significators and the ruling planets. Method 1: • While timing the e vents, when the event is to ha ppen within a few hours, the transit of Lagn a is to be considered. • If the event is to take place in a few days, Moon's transit will have to considered. • If the eve nt is to tak e pla ce within few mo nths, the Sun's transit will have to be tak en into account. • If the event is to take place in som e years, the Jupiter's transit will have to be conside red. Method 2: • The timing of event can be worked out by tak ing into consideration the cross transit of the Dasa lo rd, Bhukti lord and Anthara lord who will be within the common planets. Method 3: • To find the timing o f event, the transit of Dasa lord, Bhukthi lord and Anthara lord is to be tak en into account. •

The event materializes whene ver the Dasa lo rd or Bhukthi lord or Anthara lord transits in any of the three

sensitive positions viz the star of the Dasa lord to be taken as the star and that of the Bhukthi lord as the sub or vice versa o r inter- Dasa, Bhukthi and Anthara lords d uring that Dasa , Bhukthi and Anthara period. The above said significators, selection of significators and the methods for finding the timing of events are being discussed in ou r regular astrological courses /classe s being conducted with the guidance o f Sri P. V. K. Punne swara Rao at Hyderabad . We had given thousands of accurate predictions by following the above said prediction techniques. Krishnamurthy System of prediction is too simple for precise prediction if you understand the system properly.

Top Ruling Planets and their Role  “ P rof K.S.K sta tes tha t du ring his res ea rch h ad fo un d tha t se ve ral tho us a nd eve nts tak e pl ace in a da y bu t withou t the involvement of Ruling Planet not a single event can take place”  The statement of Prof KSK is very powerful because Ruling planets decides the timing of events. To-day we are studying Astrology to k now when the events are going to tak e place. Ruling plan ets theory is an a pplication theory. We can workout R uling plane ts for the natal chart and a lso fo r horary charts.

Ruling Planet definition :

Thos e plane ts that are ruling at the time of q uery or at the time birth and can contribute for the fructification of the events are called Ruling Planets. Ruling Planets Consists of the following: 1. Lagna Sign Lord. 2. Lagna Star Lord 3. Lagna Sub-lLord. 4. Moon Sign Lord 5. Moo n Star Lord 6. Moon Sub Lord. 7. Day Lord

Additionally we can take following ; If any of the planets which strongly aspe ct or conjuct the ruling planets m entined abo ve planets m ay be adde d as a ruling pla net. If Rahu or Ketu happens to be a ruling planet then take the Rahu /ketu representations planets also has Ruling planet. Rahu/ Ketu representation, they represent or firstly gives the results of the planet with which it is conjoined, then that of the a specting planet, then the results o f the planets in whose s tar it is depo sited a nd lastly the results of the Lord of the Sign it is posited.

Principle Involved in selection of the ruling planets • The ruling planets a t the time of que ry would be the ruling planets at the time o f fructification o f the exp ected results/events. • The ruling planets a t the time o f birth would be ruling plane ts at the time of que ry or vice versa. Here we can take the time of judgem ent as the time of que ry.

Common Planets: As the ruling planets have definite bearing over the events it is found that the common planets between the ruling planets and the selected significators will contribute for the fructification of the events.

How to link Ruling planets for Timing of Events? 1)We have to select the houses which are relevant to the query say for marriage 2,7,11 houses, for education 4,9,11 house s, etc., 2)Iden tify the s tronge st significator am ong the significators. 3)Identify the common planets among the ruling planets. 4)Workout the representations of Rahu and Ketu. 5)If Rahu and Ketu happened to be the strongest significator give maximum importance to them. An Event will materialise during the conjoined period of the Dasa, Bhukthi and Anthara lords who happen to be the common planets derived from the significators and the ruling planets. An event can take place during the cross-transit if Dasa lord, Bhukthi Lord and Antara Lord –if they represent common planets. An event can materialize whenever the Dasa Lord transits any of the three sensitive positions. Say, the star of the Dasa Lord to be taken as the star and that of the Bhukthi lord as the Sub, or vice-versa or inter Dasa,Bhukthi and Antara lords during that Dasa Bhukthi and Anthara periods- if they represe nt com mo n plane ts. If the event to happ en within a fe w hours, the transit of Lag na is to be conside red. If the events are to take place in few days then the Transit of Moon has to be considered. If the event is to take place within few months, the Sun's transit have to be considered. If the event is to take place in some years, then the Jupiter's transit will have to be

taken into account. While making the Ruling planets, the KP astrologer should have the strong urge for the purpose it is made and unless the urge for the m atter is dee p and sincere he should no t reso rt to ruling plane ts and stated b y Prof. KSK. I strongly suggest that every one should carefully select the ruling planets and use the RP theory for successful prediction since I had used and o bserved that Ruling Plane ts never failed in giving accurate timing o f events.

Top Stellar Effects in Astrology-A Study on Digbala (Based on Nadi Principles ) With respects and p ranams to Late Sri NV Ragha vachary (Meena 2), I a m e laborating the principles written by him on Digbala in “Practical Stellar Astrology” base d o n Nadi P rincples. Everyone k new that the lords of the lagna,9th and 10th ho use are very strong in all aspe cts and occupy favourable positions, the native becomes very prominent in life and success come to him from all aspects of life. Over and abo ve if they posse ss Digbala without any flaw, then the native may rule a country or may hea d a g overnment. All classical texts s tates that Guru and Budha gets dig bala in Lagna Kendra, Chandra and Sukra gets dig bala in fourth house, Rahu and Sani gets dig bala in 7th house, Ravi ,Kuja and ketu gets dig bala in 10th house. Where as Sri NVR(Meena2) further clarifies and states that a planet need not alone be posited in a house as per classical texts to ge t dig bala(d irectional strength), even if they ha ve posited in a different house b ut having stellar connection or associated with the planets who owns the house that gives dig bala to the planet, is enough for a planet to ge t dig bala . I would like to clarify further with exa mple charts to the bene fit of the readers.

Example chart No:1 Guru and Budha gets dig bala in Lgna Kendra. As per nadi principles even if Guru is posited in a naksatra whose lord is posited in lagna then also Guru gets Dig bala.

Lagna Ravi

Rasi Guru

Guru is in Uthira naksatra whose lord is Ravi, Ravi is posited in lagna so Guru gets Dig bala.

Example chart No:2 Lagna

Guru Rasi

Here Guru is in Ashlesha naksatra whose lord in Budha and Budha is lord of the Lagna so Guru has got connection to Lagnakendra and gets Digbala. Example chart No:3 Lagna

Guru Budha Rasi

Here Guru is in conjunction with Budha and Budha is lord of the Lagna and hence Guru gets Dig bala due to his association with Lagna lord Budha. Here we will have to understand the b asic principles o f Stellar astrology that the 1)pla nets delivers their good o r bad effects based on the naksatra they occupy not because they are in uchha or neecha positons in the horoscope 2) Even if the planets posited in neecha rasi delivers good result when possess dig bala. Lot of astrologers may be wonde ring that the Sukra posited in Uchha rasi(mee na) for a native not in a position to enjoy dasa of Sukra, as per nadi principles if Sukra posited in Uthirabhadrabada naksatra whose lord is Sani then the native may not get good results during Sukra da sa.. Here we will have to understand that Uchha status of a planet m ay not give goo d results if they are posited in a bad naksatra. While analyzing the ho roscope carefully note the constellation in which the plane t is posited and also constellations lord position in the horoscope and observe dig balas of the planets by using the stellar theory to arrive correct and accurate prediction.

A Study on Timing of Events Astrology and Science Astrology is as much a science as theories of genetics were in their early days, when critical observation was the key to progress. Our ancient rishis were intellectual giants who had reached conclusions on the basis of their observations. Today the conclusions may be regarded only as hypotheses; but believers would say there is enough material evidence in their favour, just as proofs for several biological postulates are only now coming in. The three supreme postulates of Hindu philosophy (universal Atman, rebirth, and karma) have parallels in modern biological postulates (universal ge netic material, heredity, and ge nes), which sho ws the a stounding o bse rvational ab ility of the rishis. No science or art is more interesting, instructive and useful to mankind in contributing to his moral and ma terial a dvancement than the sub lime science of astrology. Astrology is the science that com prises the foretelling of the regular movements of the planets, the fortunes and misfortunes of men, fates of nations, inundations, earthquakes, plagues, volcanic eruptions, pestilences, and other incidents relating to terrestrial phenomena. In Sanskrit it is called Hora Sastra meaning the science that treats of Time. It is also called Jyotisha or Knowledge of  Light from Jyothi or light that is the root cause for all known creation.

Purpose of Human Existence The purpose or goal of human existence is called as PurushArtha. According to the Vedas, there are four goals namely Artha (wealth), kAma (pleasure), Dharma (righteousness) and Moksha (permanent freedom from worldly bondage). According to this philosophy, the first three goals are not an end by themselves but need to be pursued with the idea l of attaining Mok sha. Moksha is a state where the Jeeva achieves one-ness with Brahman in terms of all knower ship and possessing qualities free from all worldly evils and defects. The Jeeva however does not possess the power to create and destroy. Neither does it have the po wer to grant Moksha .

Ethics of Jeeva Souls and Matter are only the body of God. Creation is a real act of God. It is the expansion of intelligence. Matter is fundamentally real and undergoes real revelation. The Soul is a higher mode than Matter, because it is conscious. It is also eternally real and eternally distinct. Final release, that comes, by the Lord's Grace, after the death of the body is a Communion with God. This philosophy believes in liberation through one's Karmas (actions) in accordance with the Vedas, the Varna (caste or class) system and the four Ashramas (stages of life), along with intense devotion to Vishnu. Individual Souls retain their separate identities even after moksha. They live in Fellowship with God either serving Him or meditating on Him. The philosophy of this school is SriVaishnavism, a branch of Vaishnavism.

Vishishtadvaita and Sri Vaishnavism-Jeeva & Saree ra-Stellar Astrology Concept The Absolute Supreme Reality referred to as Brahman, is a Transcendent Personality with infinite superlative qualities. He is Narayana, also kno wn as Lord Vishnu. Narayana is the Abso lute God. The Soul and the Universe are only parts of this Absolute and hence, Vishishtadvaita is panentheistic. The relationship of God to the Soul and the Universe is like the relationship of the Soul of Man to the body of Man. Individual souls is only parts of Brahman. God, Soul and Universe together form an inseparable unity which is one and has no second. This is the non-duality part. Matter and Souls inhere in that Ultimate Reality as attributes to a substance. This is the qualification part of  the

non-duality.

The

Seshatva(Subordination) of the souls is only another way of saying that they have Dasatva (Service) or right and duty to serve Isvara, who is their master. The impediments arise from sins committed by the individual souls by transgressing the codes of conduct

prescribed in the Sastras thus incurring the displeasure of the Lord. This in turn impedes the progress of the Jeeva towards Moks ha. The sins are born out of Avidya (Igno rance), and Karmavasa na (the latent impression s of the past and the p resent deed s)-the effects of which can be go t rid of only by atoning a nd surrendering to the Lord. As for the impediments, they manifest in different ways:- i) Committing sins deliberately to secure temporary and trivial mundane benefits .ii) Continuing to commit sins more and more- one sin leading to another in an endless chain Through the Sastra, the individual soul discerns the differentiation as between its self and the body on the one hand and as between its individual soul (Jeevatma ) and the Universal soul (Paramatma) on the other. He also comes to kno w that his d eeds (Karma ) are respo nsible for his repea ted reincarnations (Puna rjanm as). He therefore refrains from ba d dee ds (Pa pa) and resorts to spiritually m eritorious dee ds (Punya) a s prescribed in the Sastras. He also becomes aware of the Supreme Lord Sri Narayana and that surrender (Prapatti) to him as the best mean to reach Narayana and enjoy everlasting b liss. To the Jeeva who has attained Moksha everything will be pleasant, agreeable and blissful. Even those that appeared painful or even less pleasurable while on earth because of the constraining effects of the material world would now appear enjoyable due to the absence of the material binding and the presence of Bhagavan. While comparing Jeeva and Sareera of Sri Vaishnavism, with that of Stellar Astrology, in Sri Vaishnavism, the ultimately Jeeva to merge with universal soul and bo dy (Parama tma) to get Mok sha o r relief from the cycles o f birth and de ath, in Stellar astrology the Je eva and Sareera of bhava/k araka s hould go inline with each other to give best result to that bhava/karaka, so that the bhava/karaka gets satisfied and also the native bestowed with very good results. Just like the Jeeva(by performing good karmas) gets Moksha the ultimate in the life, in astrology the bhava/karaka Jeeva and Sareera planets if they are benefic, friends and associated with benefic houses bestows very goo d results to the native like blissful Mok sha. W orking on this line I h ad worked out certain principles for good result to flow to the native with the timing of events, as when the event shall fructify by linking dasa, bukthi and anthara of the birth chart with that of b hava/ka raka Je eva a nd Sareera plane ts.

Historical Background and Importance of Nakshatra In India, the way in which Nakshatra Vidya, the science of stars, has been thought of even in the Vedic literature shows that it was rega rded as one o f the intellectual attainme nts. The word Nak shatra mea ns star in g eneral as well as an asterism in the zodiacal be lt. The star groups or Nak shatra were referred to as Devagrahas. Pa rts of the body of the Primordial Being, Prajapati, have been extolled in terms of Nakshatra. The later exponents of Indian astrology also have imagined the Kala Purusha in much the same way. It seems fairly certain that the Naksatra Vidya was held in high esteem in India. In the Vedic as well as the post-Vedic literature including the puranas there are innumerable references to the auspicious days ion relation to the Nakshatras, for marriages, ploughing and the like. Some of them were even thought of in terms of punya and papa. Nakshatras and prognostications were usually made on that basis. In the Mahabharata as well as the Ramayana there are passages that speak of inauspicious or unlucky movements with reference to Naks hatras well as planets. It s eem s fairly certain that the Nak shatra Vidya was held in high esteem in India. Knowledge of the Nakshatras was necessary for a religious rite called Nakshatresti as well as the Srauta rite concerning the conse cration o f sa cred fires.

Significance and Importance of Stellar Astrology Among the greatest wonders of world is the wonder of the Nadi Granthas in India that reveal with stunning accuracy even the minute details of pe rson’s life. Amo ng Nadi Granthas, Dhruva Nadi by Sage Satyacharya o ccupies a u nique place. Based on this Dhruva Nadi, Meena System was developed by Late Sri. R Gopala Krishna Row (Meena 1) and Late Sri. N V Raghava Chary ( Meena 2) in late thirties. Invaluable astrological principles not to be found in the classical astrological works are to be met within it upon which one can reliable proceed in the delineation of a horoscope. Generally in traditional astrology almost all the astrologers give important on planet and their positions in the zodiac. As per nakshatra Siddhantha or stellar astrology, it is not the planets posited going to deliver good or bad results but its stat lord that i.e the plane ts pos ited in pa rticular star that star lord is g oing to deliver the result to the native.

Stellar Effect in Jeeva and Sareera Theory The timings of events fulfill an important need of Vedic Astrology. Predictive astrology aims at identifying the specific period for the occurrence of a specific event. Several principles on this subject have been indicated in classical texts. Many of them are not available to a large number of modern students. Predictive astrology aims at identifying the specific period for the occurrence of a specific event. Several principles on this subject have been indicated in classical texts. Many of them are not available to a large number of modern students. In my research study, I had no ted that timing o f events can be e asy identified by using s tellar effects. Out of many important factors, which have to be taken into consideration and special attention, has to be paid for assessing the re¬sults of a House or Bhava are Jeeva and Sareera. The soul is named as Jeeva and the body goes by the appellation of Sareera. The Jeeva and Sare¬era have to be worked out for every Bhava or House for proper predictions as they are the main planets on whom the results depend to some ex¬tent. It may be noted that the Jeeva and Sare¬era planets should be benefics to the particular native and well posited in the charts apart from bene fic aspects etc. for good results to flow. One has to consider whether the Jeeva a nd Sareera plane ts are inimical to each other. Various authors and scholars have d ivergent views ab out the Jeeva a nd Sareera. They have their own me thod to find them o ut. As pe r Nadi system , the following rules to be a ppled to find out Jeeva a nd Sareera.

Rule:1 The Je eva plane t is the Lo rd of the constellation in which the pa rticular Bhava lord is po sited and the Sareera planet is the lord of the star in which the Je eva pla net is situated.

Rule:2 Whe n the Jee va plane t joins a nother stronge r or powerful planet, the powerful or stronge r planet becom es the Jeeva planet in other words the s tronge r or powerful planet sna tches a way the right of the other planet. This m ay happe n in case of Sareera also.

Rule:3 In cases where the Bhava Lord is in his own constellation the Bhava Lord himself becomes the Jeeva Planet. The Lord of the hous e in which the Jee va Lord is tenanted is the Sareera Plane t.

Rule:4 At times the Bhava Lord is not only situated in his own constellation but also placed in his own house and in these cases the Jeeva planet itself becomes the Sareera planet.

By applying the following rules you can easy identify the eventful periods Wo rk out Jeeva and Sareera planets for each bhava or the bha ve in question and Jeeva and Sareera plane ts for the Karaka in question. Events will take place or fructify when Dasa/bukthi/anthara lord have any connection to the Jeeva an d Sareera plane ts of the bha ve in ques tion. For good results to flow, the Jeeva a nd Sareera planets should not be enemies, they should not be placed 6 and 8th positions among themselves, they should not be posited either 6th or 8th house in the rasi chart. How to link Dasa,Bukthi and Anthara to Jeeva a nd Sareera Plane ts to arrive the timing o f events?(Methods) 1. If Das a or Bukthi or Anthara lords ha ve connection with Jeeva or Sareera p lanets of Bhava or Karaka in ques tion then fructification of results sha ll happe n at that time.. 2.  In transit(Gochara) Jeeva and Sareera planets of a bhava or karaka in question touches the natal(birth) charts’  position of Jeeva or Sareera and DBA should have connection to Jeeva and Sareera then results to that bhava fructifies. 3.  In Transit(gochara),Jeeva or Sareera planet aspects each other and DBA should have coonection to Jeeva and Sareera then the conne cted bh ava or ka raka in qu estion fructifies.

Marriage: Kalathra Bhava is Seventh house from lagna. Kalathra karaka is Sukra. Let us work out Jeeva and sareea for both. For Seventh house, the lord is Budha, Budha is in Mesha rasi and in Bharani nakshatra whose lord is Sukra then Sukra will become the Jeeva for that bhava, then Jeeva Lord is Sukra and is in the nakshatra Aridra whose lord is Rahu , so Ra hu will become Sareera fo r that bhave(R ule No:1) Hence Jeeva and Sareera for 7th house is Sukra and Rahu. For Kalathra Karaka Sukra, Sukra is in the nakshatra of Aridra whose lord is Rahu, so Rahu will become Jeeva and Jeeva planet Rahu is in the nakshatra of Hastha whose lord is Chandra and hence Chandra becomes Sareera .(Rule No:1) Hence Jee va and Sareera for kalathra k araka Sukra is Ra hu and Chandra.

Ketu in Pubba Nakshatra.Running Dasa at the time marriage is Ketu dasa/Sukra bukthi/Chandra anthara from 2-407 to 27-4-07 Bukthi lord Sukra happens to be Jeeva planet for 7th house. Dasa lord Ketu is transiting in Pubba nakshatra (Sukra), Jeeva planet Sukras’ nakshatra in Simha rasi at the time of marriage. Kalathra karaka is Sukra’s Jeeva and Sareera is Rahu and Chandra, Anthra lord at the time marriage is Chandra having direct connection with Sareera of kalathra karaka. Over and above Anthara lord Chandra transiting in Jeeva lord Sukras’ house thula rasi. Hence the marriage had taken place in Ketu dasa Sukra bukthi and Chandra anthara.(Method 1).
