PJC Year-2

We have a new website for PJC Year-2. Please bookmark this page. It uses the stable wordpress software and by now most of you would have received login information. If you have not joined this course and have received login information, please inform me or delete your account. I expect at least this much honesty from students I teach. Please do not start writing a book by transcribing my teachings. If that is not theft of intellectual knowledge, then what is? In the past I have students who have done exactly that. Some even just took the images and put them in their books. I will not say a word – my words are precious for me, and perhaps for some of you. Therefore I do not waste them in cursing or abusing. I just turn away and leave everything to Śiva. If you are a member of PJC Year-2 and have not received your login information, please visit the website and create an account. Thereafter, inform me to add you to the course. The lessons from the old PJC-Y2 website have been added. If you find that a lesson is missing, please inform me. If you have downloaded the old lesson, please forward it to me so that I can add it easily instead of having to search 1.5 TB document folder in my computer. Himalaya Classes: The first day of the Himalaya Class with the Parāśara Mantra has been added to the website. You need to login and then a new menu will appear called “Members”. Look for Members > Initiation menu with an open lock icon. This contains three slide presentations titled AUṀ, Varga Concepts and Varga Viveka. It will take you a month to digest the knowledge contained in those slides. Take your time but do get these foundations right and you must practise. Try this on your chart and maybe a few more charts. After you have understood and digested all the knowledge in these lessons, then enter Varga > Rāśi etc. With these words, we wish you the best in your studies. śrī kṛṣṇa arpaṇamastu

The divisions of the signs and the construction of Divisional charts from them are based on certain principles and bear certain characteristics. Principle of equal span The divisions of the signs are normally equal in size except for two very high divisions (Nāḍi and Ardha Nāḍi aṁśa i.e. the D-150 and D-300). For example, the Navāṁśa is the one-ninth division of a sign i.e. 1/9th portion of 30° = 3°20’. The span of every Navāṁśa is 3°20’ arc. This uniformity continues in all divisions except in the Nāḍi-aṁśa, which is based on the principle of Chandra Kala Nāḍi[1]. However, scholars are divided in this issue and a majority feels that the principle of equal span for all divisions is based on the mapping of time divisions with the divisions in geocentric zodiac and this will invariably produce uniformity in the size of the divisions. This issue has been discussed under Nāḍiāṁśa and the principle of equal span has been followed in all other divisions. The only Parāśara ṣoḍaśa varga that falls into the category of unequal divisions in the broad view is the trimśāṁśa (D30 Chart). Trimśāṁśa means 1° [1 rāśi ÷30 parts = 30°÷ 30= 1°] but the Parāśara trimśāṁśa works at the level of the tattva afflictions and has five spans of 5°+5°+7°+8°+5°. This is basically the ṣaṣṭāṁśa D6 chart of six equal 5° spans, converted into five unequal spans. Regular and irregular ownership The reckoning of the ownership of the divisions is normally regular in that the first division of a succeeding sign is in continuity with the last division ownership of the preceding sign. For example, the last Navāṁśa of Aries is Sagittarius and Taurus succeeds Aries. The first Navāṁśa of Taurus is Capricorn which is the sign following Sagittarius in the regular order of reckoning. Thus, the Navāṁśa is a regular division. However, the last Dasāṁśa of Aries is Capricorn and the first Dasāṁśa of Taurus is also Capricorn. Thus, the ownership of the Dasāṁśa divisions is not regular when proceeding from one sign to another. Hence, the Dasāṁśa is an irregular division. The exceptions have been explained in each of the subsequent chapters. Kalyāṇavermā mathematical model Kalyāṇavermā has given a simple mathematical model for determining the number of divisions advanced by any planet (or Lagna) in a sign. It maybe noted that this model merely helps to calculate the number of divisions advanced and the number arrived at finally is not the sign number (as has been erroneously used by some astrologers). लिप्तानामष्टादशशतानि परिवर्तनैः स्वगृहात्॥ liptānāmaṣṭādaśaśatāni parivartanaiḥ svagṛhāt|| 3|17 Translation: …Each Rāśi has 1800 Kala[2] [since 30° x 60’ = 1800’]. लग्नादिनां लिप्ता ज्ञेयाः स्वगृहादिवर्गसंगरिपताः। अष्टादशशतभक्ता लब्धः स्यादीषिसतो वर्गः॥ ३।१८ lagnādināṁ liptā jñeyāḥ svagṛhādivargasaṁgaripatāḥ| aṣṭādaśaśatabhaktā labdhaḥ syādīṣisato vargaḥ|| 3|18 To calculate the number of divisions advanced by any planet/Lagna its longitude (irrespective of signs) is converted into minutes of arc, multiplied by the D-Chart number and divided by 1800 (the total longitude of a sign). The quotient is converted into the next higher integer (irrespective of whether the remainder is more or less than half). Illustration: Calculate the Horā (D-2), Drekkāṇa (D-3), Navāṁśa (D-9) and Dasāṁśa (D-10) of Jupiter placed at 26007’ in Pisces. Step-1: Ignoring the sign placement in Pisces, we have the longitude as 26007’ = (26 x 60) + 7 = 1567’ Step-2: Multiply the longitude (1567’) by the D-Chart Number and divide by 1800. Step-3: Whatever be the remainder, convert it to the next higher integer. This gives the division it is placed in.

Other divisional charts as like a microscopic magnification of one of the aspects dealt with one specific house (at least) in the Rāśi Chart. For example, the Dasāṁśa (D-10 Chart) shows the working environment of the individual and his career. In the Rāśi Chart, the same is examined from the tenth house. Thus, the tenth house in the Rāśi chart has expanded into another complete chart making the examination of events easier. Such a simultaneous examination of the Rāśi Chart and any individual D-Chart is called the microscopic examination and essentially reveals hidden attributes and ways in which the native shall react to the inputs coming from the specific environment. Independent view The Divisional charts are independent aspects of the environment and hence, can be examined independent of the Rāśi Chart as well. Such an independent examination reveals details of how the matters concerned exist, influence and change with time. It shows the changes in the environment itself. Whether a person is on leave or holiday, his office may continue to function and people may continue […]

Padma Purāṇa Extract Lord Shiva said “My dear Pārvatī, now I will relate to you the glories of the Eleventh Chapter of Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā. It is not possible to tell it’s full glories, as there are thousands of stories, I will relate one of them only. On the banks of the Pranita river is a large town of the name Megankara in which is the famous temple of Jagat Iśvara (Jagannāth). Jagat Iśvara is holding in His hand a bow. In that town of Megankara, there was a pure brāhmaṇa of the name Sunanda, who remained a brahmacārya his whole life. Sunanda would sit in front of Lord Jagat Iśvara and recite the Eleventh Chapter of the Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā and remember the Universal Form of the Lord. By reciting that Eleventh Chapter of Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā, he gained complete control over his senses and was able to remember Lord Jagat-Iśvara continuously. Once that pure brahmana Sunanda went on a tour of the holy places on the banks of the Godavari River. He visited all the sacred places, starting with Vraja-Tirtha. In all the holy places he visited, he bathed, and took darshan of the presiding deity. One day he reached the town of Vivian Mandela. Along with his associates he searched for a place to stay and eventually in the middle of that town they found a dharmashala, where they all took rest for the night. When Sunanda woke up in the morning he found that all his associates had left. While searching for them, he met the headman of the town, who immediately fell at his feet and said, “Oh great sage, I cannot say where your associates have gone, but I can tell you that there is no devotee equal to you. I have never seen anyone as pure as you. Oh, my dear brahmana, I am begging you to stay in this town.” When Sunanda heard the humble request of the headman of the town, he decided to stay for some days. That headman made every arrangement for the comfortable stay of Sunanda and engaged in his service day and night. After eight days had passed, one villager came before Sunanda, crying very loudly and said, “Oh pure Brahmana, last night one rākṣasa ate my son,” Sunanda inquired, “Where does that rākṣasa stay? And how did he eat your son?” The villager replied, “In this town one very frightful rākṣasa lives, who every day was eating villagers as and when he pleased. One day, we all went to that rākṣasa and requested him to protect us, in return for which we would provide him with his daily food. One dharmashala was built, and any travelers who came here were sent there to stay and while they were sleeping the rākṣasa would eat them, In this way we have been able to protect ourselves from this rākṣasa. You, along with your associates, stayed at that dharmashala, but that rākṣasa did not eat you along with everyone else. The reason I will tell you. Last night a friend of my son came but I did not realize that he was a very close and dear friend of my son, so I sent him to stay in dharmashala. Later when my son found out, he went after him to try and bring him back from the dharmashala but when he went there, he was also eaten by that rākṣasa. Today, in the morning, I went to that rākṣasa and asked him, why he had eaten my son along with the other travelers. I also requested him, if there was any way, I could get back my son. That rākṣasa told me, “I did not know that your son had also entered the dharmashala, thus he was eaten with everyone else. As far as getting him back that will be possible when I am freed from this rākṣasa body which will be possible by the mercy of a person who recites the Eleventh Chapter of Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā daily.   Right now, there is one brāhmaṇa staying in this town, who had stayed at this dharmashala, but I had not eaten him, because he daily recites the Eleventh Chapter of Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā. If He daily recites the Eleventh Chapter of Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā seven times then sprinkles water on me, then I will be able to get free from the curse of this rākṣasa body”. Sunanda inquired, from that villager, “What sin did this person perform to attain a rākṣasa body?” The villager replied, ‘Long ago there had been a farmer living in this town. One day he was guarding the fields when, just a little distance away from him, one large vulture attacked a person, who was traveling on the road. At that time, one yogi was passing by and when he saw that person being attacked by that vulture he came running to his aid but when he reached him, it was too late. Then that yogi became very angry with the farmer and spoke to him as follows, “One who sees others in danger from thieves, snakes, fire, attack by weapons etc., and even though he is capable of helping them, but does not come to help, is punished by Yamarāja. After suffering in hell for a very long time, he takes birth as a wolf. And one, who helps someone in need of help, certainly pleases Lord Vishnu. One, who attempts to save a cow from the hands of a ferocious animal, a low-class man or a wicked ruler, attains Lord Vishnu. Wicked farmer, you saw that vulture attacking that person but still you made no attempt to save him. Now I curse you to take birth as a rākṣasa.” The Farmer said, “I was watching the fields for the whole night and I am very tired, so kindly be merciful to me, oh, gentle sage.” The yogi replied, “When someone, who is daily reciting the Eleventh Chapter of Śrīmad Bhagavad-gītā, sprinkles water on your head, then you will […]
