ZODIAC CONSTELLATIONS (SIGN) “RASHI”

Let us define first, the terms used:

·       ZODIAK CONSTELLATION

(SIGN)/ *RASHI                                                                                                                                                                                               

Around the sky (360⁰) there are twelve groups of stars, spread of approximate 30⁰ aperture. They are called Zodiac Constellations, Signs (In West) or Rashi (In Hindi). They make shapes of an object and are named upon the same.

Zodiac Sign of a person indicate,

                        -  At the time of his birth; Sun was travelling through which

                           Zodiac sign. (In western system)

-  At the time of his birth; Moon was travelling through which

   Zodiac sign. (In Indian system)

-      At the time of his birth; Sun was travelling through which Zodiac sign, is called LAGNA (In Indian system)

                              LAGNA is named ASCENDENT in western system.

-      At the time of his birth; Moon was travelling through which Zodiac Sign, is called RASHI (In Indian system)

·       Hence ZODIAK SIGN (Western system) is LAGNA or ASCENDENT in (Indian system) not RASHI.

·        In Indian system one more feature is recorded i.e. NAKSHTRA. Like twelve Zodiac Constellations, there are twenty-seven set of group of stars called NAKSHTRA at a different trajectory (axis)

The aperture of one NAKSHTRA varies from 10⁰ to 15⁰.

COMING TO THE SUBJECT:

Since ages we read; daily, weekly, monthly & yearly future forecast in news papers and magazines, based on Zodiac Signs.  We are getting special dedicated book-lets also on the subject. Now most of TV channels are also transmitting the forecast on daily/weekly basis.

In news papers & magazines, period of birth-date is also given along with Zodiac Constellations/Signs (Rashi). So one follows the prediction as per birth period, hence the indication of Zodiac Signs (Rashi Lagna). So reference of Rashi or Lagna becomes irrelevant or (an additional information only).

ON TELEVISION, it becomes confusing as Zodiac Sign is translated, in Hindi “Rashi”.

o            It is correct only when, Moon is in particular Zodiac Sign in Hindi “Rashi”.

o            It is becomes wrong when, Sun is in particular Zodiac Sign and is named Rashi, in Hindi translation.

o            It is also not clarified on television channel.

                                             

Some television channels are using “Rashi” in right perspective, but not elaborating it properly, so the audience is always confused.

Predictions bases on Zodiac sign (Western System) or Rashi (Indian System) carry no value. As other planets play equally big role. Prediction, without consideration of those other planets, predictions are incomplete or of no authencity.

The reasons only, do no elevate it above fiction.

COMING TO ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE

Zodiac Signs of Western System require some modifications.

Lagna (Ascendant) of Indian system follows that rectification.

Periods of Zodiac Signs and Lagna (Ascendant) were same 2000 years back, at time of start of Gregorian calendar (Birth period of Christ).

Our Solar System i.e. Sun and his whole family is not changing its relative trajectory; but our complete Solar System is moving in the Universe and it is advanced by 20 days with respect to Zodiac Constillations.

Now the Sun enters in next Constellation on 14/15 of the month, advanced by twenty days.

It is incorporated in Indian System; of Astrology, but not is Western System.

COMING TO ANOTHER VARIABLE

Our Earth has five sets relative motions, in the Universe;

1.    With respect to our Sun.

2.    With respect to other planets. of our Solar system.

3.    With respect to Moon of our Earth

4.    Due to motion of Sun (along with his whole family, i.e. all its planets and Moons) in the Universe, measured with respect to the twelve Zodiac Constellations.

5.    Due to motion of Sun (along with his whole family, i.e. all its planets and Moons) in the Universe, with respect to the twenty seven Nakshatras.

Twelve Zodiac Constellations and Twenty-seven Nakshatras are two different sets of groups of stars, around sky on, different trajectories (axis)

All above Twelve Zodiac Constellations and Twenty-seven Nakshatras and their trajectories play big role in Astronomy and Astrology.

Motion of Earth, with respect to Sun is deciding following parameters:
     • Sunrise and Sunset
     • days
     • years
     • weather

In Sanatan Dharm (Hindu), festivals in are celebrated on the basis of Zodiac Constellations, Nakshatras, planet and Moon positions along with cultivation and yielding of the crops. Add birth anniversaries of all incarnations of God (prophets).

It may be noted in Indian religion / culture the anniversary of day of death is never observed.

Due to above factors there is a festival, almost every day in India.

Solar system is moving approximately 1⁰ in 100 years with respect to Zodiac Constellations.

Looking at the period of Zodiac Constellations, above rectification is not considered in Western Astrology.

Accepted birth day of CHRIST, was decided on December 25, 0000. It is an auspicious and special day for Northern Hemisphere of Earth. As on 25^th December, time of Sun light (day light) starts increasing,

We Sanatanies (Hidus) including Christians (In India) call it BADA DIN

(THE BIG DAY).

ACCORDING TO SOLAR MOTION RELATIVE TO EARTH:
The day-time starts increasing from (25^th December). As the trajectory of Solar path, with respect to Earth starts moving towards North. As a result the period of day light in Northern hemisphere stats increasing

According to Indian terminology this day the Sun becomes Uttarayan. In other words, the trajectory of Solar path in the sky, starts moving towards North and day (Sun-light time) starts increasing.

Looking of birth date of CHRIST; according to Zodiac Constellations
   The Solar system entered into next Zodiac Constellation “Pisces” leaving

 “Aries” behind, one day before the 24^th December 0000.

 To indicate, at the time of his birth of CHRIST, Solar system entered Constillation Pieces, the instance is, CHRIST fed the whole village with two fishes and half bread.

The day Earth enter into next Zodiac Constellation is now on !4^th of month, not on 24^th; as it was 2000 years back (At the time of birth of CHRIST).

Solar system enters in nest to Zodiac Constellations depending upon the angular span of particular constellation, approximately 30⁰.

(After about 3500 years).

It can be judged, by the feature:

The big star CYRUS along with THREE STARS of BELT OF CONSTELLATION “SAGITTARIUS” gets aligned.

At the birth day of CHRIST the big star CYRUS followed by THREE KINGS (stars on belt of Sagittarius) indicate the same.

Now the Solar system will enter into Aquarius after about 1500 years.

May be another prophet shall come to Earth that day.

It is not recorded but the day similar features appeared about 3500 years before CHRIST and Prophet MOSES was born. In other words the Solar System left “Taurus” and entered into “Aries”. 

To indicate this, it can be noticed the JEWS like to blow HORN of ARIES.

Lord Krishna ; Avatar or God for Sanatanies (Hindus) was also born at the same time.

Due to movement of Solar system with respect to Zodiac Constellations,

on date, the Sun changes the Constellation is on 14^th/15^th of next month advanced by 20 days. This can be found out referring ephemeris (Panchang of Hindus)

In Western system this is not considered.

That is why, when we refer horoscopes on basis of Zodiac Sign (as per Western system of Astrology) the change of Constellation is indicated on 22/23rd of the month. It was true at the time of birth of CHRIST, 2000 years back, or at the time of starting of the Gregorian calendar.

till 4/5 years back this date was falling on 14^th of every month and now it is changing to 15th. Within 3–4 years it will stay on 15^th for approximately 100 years.  After approximately 100 years it will change to 16^th, and so on.

To summarize the Zodiac Sign period should be read on 14^th or 15^th (about 20 days ahead) not from 22^nd or 23^rd specified in Western system.

The period of “Capricorn” should be from January 15th to February 14th and further accordingly.

Sun & Moon are not only effective planets in future forecast. Locations of other planets are equally influential. The most effective are Rahu (Umbra) and Ketu (Penumbra). They are not even planets, but are shadows only. But are placed very near to earth, rather next to earth. To understand them refer Blog ECLIPSE.

     .

In Indian System, placing of planets in the particular Constellation, Nakshatra as well as in house of horoscope, affects the predictions.

Hence all predictions based only on location of Sun or Moon cannot be evaluated above fiction. As far as subject astrology is concerned, they can create only confusions.

THERE ARE FOLLOWING PLANETS IN

WESTERN SYSTEM                         INDIAN SYSTEM

Sun                                                          Surya (Sun)

Moon                                                       Chandra (Moon)

Mars                                                        Mangal (Mars)

Mercury                                                   Budh (Mercury)

Jupiter                                                    Brihaspati (Jupiter)

Venus                                                       Shukra (Venus)

Saturn                                                     Shani (Saturn)

Neptune                                                         -

Uranus                                                           -

Pluto                                                              -

     -                                                          Rahu (Umbra)

     -                                                          Ketu (Penumbra)

Zodiac Constellations (set of 12 stars) are placed in universe in a cycle covering the whole 360⁰ of sky with respect to Solar System.

Nakshatras (set of 27 stars) are placed in universe in a cycle covering the whole 360⁰ of sky with respect to Solar System.

Trajectory of Zodiac Constellation and Nakshatras are different; i.e. their peripheries are not the same. The cycles are at different axis.

Indian (Hindi) translation of Zodiac Constellation is Lagna (not Rashi); it shows position of Sun in a particular Zodiac Constellation. It changes in about 30 days.

In Indian (Hindi) system Rashi indicates position of Moon in a particular Zodiac Constellation. It changes in less than 2.5 days. Lunar month is a little less than Solar 30 days.

In Indian system, Lunar and Solar calendars are synchronised by adding about 30 day in Lunar colander every 4^th year. This Lunar month is called Adhik Mas (Extra month) and no event is celiberated in this month excluding Birth and Death.

Neptune, Uranus and Pluto are not considered in prediction in both Western and Indian Astrology.

1.    In Western; as they are very small and too far.

2.    In Indian; as they were not found when Mahrshi Mahrshi Bhrigu composed these calculations and predictions.

HANUMAN & JAMBWANT

The curiosity is whether

·       Hanuman was monkey or Dravidian human being.

·       Jambwant was bear; or Dravidian human being.

·       Let us add a few more names in the list of monkeys:

Baali, Sugreev, Kesari, Angad, Nal & Neel.

Mythological record observations are following:

·       Their mothers/wives are human (ladies).

·       They bear male children (monkey or beer) and female human.

·       We know very well, any animal & mankind, cannot have children

due to different chromosome count.

·       They communicate very easily with human being.

·       They think as human and keep same wisdom or better.

·       They execute jobs like human or better.

·       Hanuman is supposed  to  be  originator of Indian Classical Music and

Dance & He only perfected the faculties.

·       We all known his other qualities, i. e. strength, flying capacity, changing appearance as well as communication & convincing power.

Geographical records, requiring analysis are:

·       Monkey & bear kingdoms

1.    Kishkindha exist in Hampi, Karnataka

2.    Anjani Pradesh in Tirumala, Andhra Pradesh.

·       Their working fields are generally South India & Sri Lanka

Anthropological records of history of earth

·       The Southern portion of India matches to a groove in Eastern North

Africa in shape & area, Hence it is derived, South India is part of Africa,

cut off from there & joined in south of India due to some natural calamity or movement of earth.

Visible facts

·       The colour of South Indians do not match with North Indians but very

much with Africans (Negros).

·       All happenings of mythology are recorded by North Indians.

·       North Indians claim themselves as Aryans* are actually Hans & Moors.

·       South Indians are called Dravidians; and are another race.

Above are a few facts; analysis has to be of reader.

*Notes

1.    Aryan (Arya in Hindi & Sanskrit) is a human race like Hans, Moors,          Mongols and Negros.

2.    Arya is also addressing word for male/gentleman in Sanskrit.

3.    Due to this North Indians are confused, they consider themselves Aryans, where as they are actually Hans and Moors.

MURTI POOJA (ONE MORE PERSPECTIVE)

A.   At times of important celebrations; we frequently observe, somebody is requested to be present, with a statement; “Even if you don’t contribute,

your presence will make the difference”.

B.   In every house we see photographs/paintings hanging, of parted ancestors.

C.    In offices we see photographs/paintings hanging, of founder of the organisation.

D.   In public offices photographs/paintings of head of state (In India of

     Mahatma Gandhi).

E.   People visit the temple when in certain difficulty or problem. Otherwise

Also, some visit temple regularly.

Let us analyse how and why:

·       In case of point A

In particular people’s presence, workers/operators know very well; this

person’s character & characteristics

1.    His way of thinking.

2.    His way of handling the job.

3.    His reaction upon certain situation.

4.    How will he execute a certain job?

5.    What will he approve or disapprove.

6.    What will be his reaction upon, working or behaviour of workers?

7.    His capacity of handling the subject; when the things are not

going right or getting spoiled.

8.    He is always available to rectify; otherwise also for advice, on

method of execution.

9.    If something goes wrong, how to rectify/handle the situation.

·       In case of points B, C and D (either person is dead or not accessible);  

points 1-6 stand true; excluding they cannot execute the job themselves.

·       Point E requires a little more elaboration:

My one friend, used to stay in each class at least 3 years. He had

a conception that the books are full of knowledge & emit (radiate) rays

of knowledge. With this conception, he used to sleep keeping the

books under his head (below pillow) presuming the waves of knowledge

emitted by books will go in his brain, in turn his brain will be filled

with knowledge.

Let us understand this in a different way. The voice/picture waves are

emitted in universe by radio/TV stations. They are present around us all

the time, but cannot be heard/seen. For reception of radio/TV signals

Transducers (equipment) are required i.e. a radio/TV.

I regret to state, the way we do idol worshiping is same.

My perspective is, if some one is siddha [learned]  of 

-      SARASWATI, i.e. expert with pen, defines the subject in writing

-       VISHVAKARMA, i.e. expert with chisel & hammer [carving]; he

           defines the subject carving a scripture or making an idol.

Let us analyse a few idols:

·       Lord JAGANNATH        

JAGARNAUGHT is the name given to Lord JAGANNATH describing his

only one phase of power “OMNIPOTENT”.  i. e. He can execute any job.

okculpture of Lord JAGANNATH is nearest to the features of GOD.

No one can describe ‘How He (GOD) looks’

          Keeping in mind the creator of sculpture (keeping the limitations

          Of self & art) made, such a way; no one can describe his face.

Lord JAGANNATH is OMNICIENT; he has very big eyes, but without

eye-lids, as he never sleep so does not require the same.

Lord JAGANNATH is OMNIPOTENT. Every happening in this universe

is as he wishes, but he has no hand. He do not do anything by his own hands.

The universe moves upon his thinking/direction only.

Lord JAGANNATH is OMNIPRESENT. He is present everywhere, so he do

not require to move; so what for he requires legs.

With the limited knowledge I have, I understand the following Deites indicate:

·       Deity GANA-PATI

GANA-PATI          Leader/Captain of GANA [member of a team]

Or VINAYAK         Leader

Let us analyze an idol of GANA-PATI; indicating the [qualities required in leader]

He is very heavy              He should not move around much.

                                        He should be available at his office at all times

He stomach is very big    He should digest all observations, i.e. not spill out

                                        verbally       

His mouth is not visible   He should speak least

His eyes are very small    He should not believe what is visible

He has very big ears        He should listen to all, being talked around

He has a very long           He must have good smelling power of surrounding

Nose  (Trunk)                  indicating he should have sixth sense (instinct)

He has very big tusks      He has to create an aura around of presence         

         

His carrier is mouse        He should not move much & should not go long distance

His one tusk is broken     He is always to keep in mind, there is better manager available, so he should be cautious

It indicates the qualities required in a leader. (Elaborated above)

One of the main freedom fighters Bal Ganga Dhar Tilak, picked

Lord GANESH from Indore & made him popular in Pune & Mumbai;

the commercial centres of India. It proved a salient feature in

achieving the freedom of India (By uniting the public under one banner).

·       Deity HANUUMAN

Indicate the qualities required in a student or a person interested to learn (irrespective of subject). As his name indicates, HANU-MAN (twisted chin). It happened while interacting with SUN; i.e. experimenting even in very difficult situations.

One of his names is BAJARANG-BALI. To my understanding, it does

not describe any of his characters. Actual name is VAJRA-ANG BALI.

Hence this should be pronounced VAJRAANG-BALI.

·       Deity DURGA       

Represent the power of women. How can she keep the house in order

and kill the Mahishasur present in male mind, personality & body.

·       Lord VISHNU      

Represent the quality of tolerance; in turn he achieved the position of GOD

NEW YEAR - RESOLUTION

A.NEW YEAR

WESTERN SYSTEM (SOLAR)

·       Gregorian calendar                    [ New year falls on January 01 ]

·       Financial calendar                      [ New year falls on April 01 ]

ISLAMIC CALANDER (LUNAR)           [ New year falls on Moharram 01 ]        

INDIAN SYSTEM

Let us find out first, how many calendars are followed in India.

1.    There are two types of calendar         SOLAR & LUNAR

The main difference between the two is

Solar calendar consisting of       365 days

Lunar calendar consisting          of       355 days (approximate)

2.    Then there are regional calendars following Solar & Lunar systems

Panjabi calendar

Bengali calendar,

Malayalam calendar, 

         Tamil calendar,

         Telugu calendar,

         Kannada calendar,

Nepali calendar, 

And many more

3.    Indian national calendar (solar; gregorian)

Which is followed in Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh & Bihar, as basic official calendar.

For rest of India, apart from regional solar calendars, Indian national calendar is followed, for all national & international references.

As there are two calendars (Solar & Lunar); they require to be synchronized.

For that, in every three/four years an extra month is added; in Hindi language this month is called ADHIK-MASS or PURUSHOTTAM-MASS.  In this month only important dates are of birth & death, as they are out of control of man. There no social or religious celebrations in this month.

Complete extra month is passed, only worshipping GOD different ways.

“Most of the Sanatani calendars are inherited from a system first enunciated

in Vedāṅga Jyotiṣa's of Lagadha, a late BCE adjunct to the Veda-s,

standardized in the Sūrya Siddhānta (3rd century CE) and subsequently

reformed by astronomers such as Āryabhaṭṭa (499 CE), Varāhamihira 

(6th c. CE), and Bhāskara II (12^th c. CE). Differences and regional variations

abound in these computations, but the following is a general overview of Sanatani lunisolar calendar.It also varies from region to region.”

…Courtesy Wikipeidia

Like Gregorian calendar, there are two Solar Calendars in India

·       Started by Raja Vikramaditya, Current Vikrami Samvat 2069;

o    56 years older than Gregorian calendar ]

·       Started by Raja Shaka. Current Shaka Samvat 1934;

o    79 years younger than Gregorian calendar ]

There is one more Solar calendar indicating; Starting of KALI-YUG (Next day after LORD KRISHNA died) started…… days back (on January 12, 2013).

B.RESOLUTION

Resolutions can be defined as promises made to self and for oneself.  We know very well that the promises are made to be broken. They become more fragile, when there is no evidence.

In turn by taking resolutions (not publicly), does nothing except killing ones WILL POWER.

Hence in my opinion “New Year Resolution” is only MORAL SUICIDE.

Note: I used to smoke 60-cigarettes a day; left it on my (personal new year) birth day (October 02, 1983). 30 years back & have not taken even a single puff since then.  

NIRBHAYA, DAMINI, AMANAT (The rape cases)

To express my opinion, I shall have to start from the day of independence.

August 15, 1947.

At the time of independence power was transferred from British rulers to Indian freedom fighters. Within next ten years the power was transferred to professional politicians.

To elaborate the term “professional” (in professional politician); anybody enters in any profession to earn money, required to live in luxury & power.

On other hand beaurocrates & police kept on performing their duties, as they were, doing under British rule, maintaining the same relation with public (Slave Indian) i.e. to control the public, not to serve/help them. They are still performing the same with additional responsibility of training the politicians to work as British (rulers) not as ministers

As per dictionary, word MINISTER means SERVANT (not ruler). An honest politician should be a social servant.

There are only two independent bodies in India.

·       Election Commission (which is formed after independence)

·       Judiciary - as judges are not guided by system. Still there are some limitations as the lawyers are from the same (pre-independence) faculty.

Coming to the subject

·       We cannot depend on police as they are working to control public (slave Indian).

·       Politicians also cannot be considered as they are very honest to their profession & performing it well. There would be parties, who would like to abstain on the subject, if not vote against it.

·       Election commission’s limits are - can only DISQUALIFY ALL THE ELECTION CONTESTANTS CHARGED OF RAPE CASES.

·       The only body, which can do something about this, is court -

1.    Should have telephone number to register the complaint

2.    Send his representative to register the details

3.    Should ask the police (or any other body formed in India after independence) to arrest the culprits & file the case in court.

We cannot depend on parliament, as most of the members are charged with SMALL CRIME like rape; hence court is the only system, which can form an independent body (similar to Election commission) working like C.B.I. but not reporting to parliament.

This way, the court shall maintain the status like JAGAN-NATH (Juggernaut); doing everything without doing anything.

Note : When we accept children as genius, why not a minor can be prosecuted for

 an active adult crime like rape.
