Latest Posts Nineteen Mantras for Brihaspati Darapada and Upapada Wisdom of our tradition

Nakatra Ganta
Gaa has been clearly defined by Nrada as the period of a prahara (3 hours) covering the junction of agni and jala ri. These junctions are (1) Jye ha-M la (in Scorpio-Sagittarius) , (2) Ale-Magh (in Cancer-Leo) and (3) Revat-Avin (in Pisces-Aries). Mahari Vasi ha defines a flaw called Abhukta M la for these three junctions and any child born during the 180 minutes when the Moon is at these junctions. Period of 90 minutes is one Kla (as in klachakra) at the end of Ale, Jye ha and Revat and 90 minutes at the start of Magh, M la and Avin is to be treated as Abhukta M la doa. The word Abhukta implies (a) uneaten as in fasting or being denied food for sustenance, (b) unenjoyed or unused as in abstinence indicating one who is neither a source of joy nor of any use to the world (society). It shows one who is like an unexpended unannounced guest disturbing and shocking the existing structure. The conjunction of the water and fire signs is treated as the conjunction between the Moon (water) and Sun (fire) which is like amvsya and Soma (nectar of life and immortality) is not available for the animal kingdom as the Moon hides in plant kingdom. The exact lunar transit in one kla (90min) is 050 arc. The Abhukta M la doa portion of water signs is at 2910 to 3000 while in the fire signs it is in the beginning at 000 to 050. This view of the Abhukta M la as defined by Nrada and Vasi ha is supported by the seers Brahma, Saunaka, while Mahari Kayapa gives a higher prominence to the ganta in Ale-Magh and Jye ha-M la as producing serious Abhukta M la doa while underplaying Revat-Avin.

Nakatra oaa
Brahma defines this Abhukta M la in terms of space instead of time. The span of a nakatra is 1320 (800) and this portion of 50 is one-sixteenth (1/16th) portion of the Nakatra. In essence, every nakatra is divided into four pada of 320 each which in turn are divided into four parts of 050 each. The ganta is in the first 1/16th portion of the nakatra in fire/odd signs while it is in the last 1/16th portion of the nakatra in the water/even signs. These sixteen portions of the nakatra are like the sixteen tith called oa where 15 tith manifest and the 16th is nya (void).

day of 24 hours and the junctions of these prahara are fixed. I N r Id tee r a or e e t a g a ( ) n ot n i hs a l e r d o s h h a e s fr meaning the watch. The first prahara or a day is ruled by the lord of the day and the subsequent follow the order of the klachakra. Sun, Mars, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Saturn, Moon and Rhu is the regular order of planets in the Klachakra. If sunrise is at 6:00am on Sunday then the starting time for the prahara of that Sunday are Sun (6am), Mars (9am), Jupiter (Noon), Mercury (3pm), Venus (6pm), Saturn (9pm), Moon (Midnight) and Rhu (3am). Now, if on that day the Moon was to enter Sagittarius at 5:15pm, then we can say that it entered Sagittarius in Mercury prahara. Since this prahara extends from 3-6 pm, then according to some views, the Abhukta M la of M la nakatra is merely 45 minutes from 5:15 to 6:00pm as the Mercury prahara ends at 6:00pm. We believe that this is a distortion of the definition of Abhukta M la. Brahma has done well to define this in space terms as 50arc else this unnecessary controversy could have left us with doubts. In the above example, using Nrada and other sages definition, the Abhukta M la portion would be in two parts (a) Jye ha Abhukta: 3:45pm5:15pm (90 minutes before transit) and (b) M la Abhukta: 5:15pm-6:45pm (90 minutes after transit). Blemish of Abhukta Abhukta means that which cannot be enjoyed or adored. All the sages are unanimous in the opinion that a child born in any of the six Abhukta portions should be given away (for adoption) and taken back after 8 years have been completed. The 8 years refers to the 8 prahara portions that need to be completed [karma results of Moon manifest @ 1 prahara per year]. What is implied is that if this is not done then the separation with the child shall be very painful and severe suffering is indicated. Mahari Saunaka concurs and advises that the propitiatory rituals for taking the child back should be conducted on the day of Janma Nakatra (which is the ganta nakatra) when 9th year of the child commences. Vasi ha Riders In the case of M la ganta (nakatra), the first pada birth does not cause evil to father if the birth is in the night. This is because agni tattva doa is absent at night just as magalika doa (caused by Mars, the ruler of agni tattva) is negligible at night. Similarly, for one born in the daytime, the second pada doa of death of mother will not occur as jala tattva doa does not manifest strongly for day birth. If the remedial measures are done within one year, then the Abhukta m la doa does not afflict father whereas if it is done within 3 years then mother is safeguarded.

Pada Doa
The effect of the Abhukta spreads to the drekka (10) of the ganta nakatra. Each nakatra is 1320 span comprising four pada of 320 each. According to most authorities, the effect of the ganta junction spreads on either side to 10 (= 1 drekka or 3 pada). The first three pada of agni ri (Avin, Magh and M la) and the last three pada of jala ri (Ale, Jye ha and Revat) have flaws.

Jye ha is evil for Elder Brother-in-Law while Magh is deadly for Younger Brother-in-Law. But this blemish does not apply to the last quarter of M la (and Magh) and 1st quarter of Ale (Jye ha) which are actually auspicious being beyond the 10 range of Abhukta blemish.

Names changes and M la

One interesting observation is that the popular name drops Philip and uses only Anthony Hopkins. Charles Brown also changed his surname to Browne and became famous with yet another name Artemus Wand. Al Gore has almost become the name for Albert Gore while Carlos Irwin Estevez is popularly Charlie Sheen. Even Ingeborg Bachmann when in Italy in 1954-1955, wrote political columns under the pseudonym Ruth Keller for the We de chen Allgemeinen Zei ng. Observation: If the afflicted tattva is in the 7th bhva (Rudra gyatr), then the native shall become very successful in business or trade and shall amass a fortune. They tend to create a brand or an exclusive commodity.

M la Nakatra Birth
M la 1st Pada: Charles Farrar Browne

Artemus Ward was the pen name of Charles Farrar Browne, who started at 13 as an apprentice to a printer. He set type for several newspapers in New England before a Boston printshop hired him in 1851 in Venus da Jupiter antarda. His first humorous sketches, signed Chub appeared in the Boston Carpet-bag. During the next 2 years he was a printer in several Ohio towns. In 1853 (Saturn antarda) he became an editor on the Toledo Commercial. Between 1857 (Venus-Mercury) and 1861 (Sun-Mars) he was an editor of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

With the advent of Sun da his fortune turned as in 1860, he became editor of Vanity Fair, a humorous New York weekly, which proved a failure. His Janma Nakatra is M la and although he is not in the very dangerous Abhukta (050) portion, his birth is still in the first pada which shows affliction to agni tattva. Although prima facie exalted, the Sun actually becomes very malefic for M la ganta born natives. In addition, it combusts the lagnea Jupiter[1]. His pen named character Artemus Ward was the favorite author of U.S. President Abraham Lincoln. Before presenting The Emancipation Proclamation to his Cabinet, Lincoln read to them the latest episode, Outrage in Utiky. Mark Twain was also very inspired by Artemus Ward. Moon is the lord of the 8th bh va and according to Jaimini, the manner of death is to be known from the sign in the 4th bh va from its nav a position. Moon is in Aries nava making Cancer, the chest region, as the area of disease which can bring death (ganta). As 8th lord in Lagna conjoining the 12th lord Ketu it shows foreign residence. Moon in lagna also promises fame and popularity. With the advent of Moon da in 1866, Charles went to England. He became exceedingly popular both as a lecturer and as a contributor to Punch, as promised by the Moon in Lagna. In the spring of the following year, his health gave way and he died of tuberculosis (lung/chest disease as indicated by 4H from nava Moon) at Southampton on March 6, 1867 in Moon da Mars antarda. Moon is the 8th lord whereas Mars is in the 3rd bhva, which is 8th from 8th bhva. It is also the dispositor of lagnea and is stationed in malefic sign. In nava it conjoins Ketu forming pica yoga and will carry out the m la ganta agni flaw of first pada as it is the significator of agni tattva. The Moon transited over natal Mars in Aquarius on the date of death. Tith was ukla pratipada ruled by the Sun (agni) in 5th house. It is evident that Moon in ganta did give premature and sudden death by disease based on 64th nava[2] and Moon is the 8th lord. [1] Jupiter (2357) is within the 11 combustion range from Sun (1450) and shows the starting phase of combustion which going to be experienced for about 22 years from birth in entirety and thereafter he will shine with spiritual luster. But the burnout rate is high for one born in M la ganta. [2] The 64th nava is the sign in the 4th bhva from the nava position of the Moon in nava (Aries) which is Cancer indicating Chest region, Tuberculosis. Method is emphasized by Jaimini.

Dear sir, As usual, the write up is super and makes subject of Naksatra Gandanta crystal clear. The concept and its implication have been controversial and less understood. It is first time I am seeing article on Gandant in suah a depth. As per earlier understanding there have been many sayings about mool and abhukta moola janma. If a girl is born in mool she will cause ruin to his parents family whereas a boy born in Mool may become famous as a king is famous. According to another version If a boy marries a girl of Mool Nakshatra the boys mother becomes widow within a year. Similarly if a boy marries a girl of Aslesha Nakshatra the girls mother- in- law dies very soon. Another superstition is a child especially a girl is born in Moola , The father should not look at it for 28 days. Father should look at face of girl after her reflected face is seen in Til oil. 3 . ABHUKTAMOOLWAS DEFINED. The last degree/ ghati of constellation Jyestha and first two degrees/ghati of Moola together are called Abhukta Mool. A child born in Abhukta Mool usually struggles for survival and it will do things contrary to the progress of the clan in which it is born. As a corollary A child born in the last two degree of Asslesha and first degree of Makha faces the same fate. In practice these thoughts holds true in about 80 to 90 % cases. 4.The deities ruling first 31 ghaties of Mool Nakshatra are respectively 1 Raakshaa 2 Yaatu 3 Dhanna 4 Chandra 5 Sukra 6 Sarpagana 7 Pitru 8 Maatru 9 Yama 10 Kaala 11 Viswadevata 12 Maheswara 13 Sharvan 14 Vaishravanana 15Sukra 16 Megha 17 Divaakra 18 Gandharva 19 Yama 20 Brahma 21 Vishnu 22 Yama 23 Easwara( siva) 24 Vishnu 25 Eleven Rudra 26 Pavan 27 Munigana Subrahmanya 28 Nandikeswara 29 Gouri 30 Saraswati 31 Prajapati. The cycle continues . In case of Aslesa Cycle is reversed. It begins with Prajapati and ends with Rakashasa. 5. The general results of children born in MOOLa are not bad to extent described. The children born in 3,34,4,35,7,38,10,41,13,44,16,47,17,48,19,50,20,23,51,54,27,58,29,60,30,61,31 and 62 ghatis do not suffer any type of Moola Dosha. This sloka is in context.

Sukheva yukto dhana vahanadhyo himstro baladkathaha karma karta; Pratapilaarati janmanushyo moolo krutisyaajjananam prapannaha.!!. Therefore it is extremely difficult to remember all the details and apply cautiously. 6. We have classical example from past about Sant Tulsi Das. He is reported to have been born in abhukta mool gandanta.. Father was Mr.Atma Ram Duby and mother was Hulasi and they were Sarupari Brahamin.Child overstayed and was in womb for 12months.He had full set of teeths at birth itself. Father was worried and mother sent child on Dasami Thithi to her parents with servant. Mother dies on Elevnth thithi. Servant reared child but died when Tulsi was around five and half year old. Father died when Tulasi was 6 month old. Tulasi das given sacred thread on VS 1561 of Magh shukla panchami Day was Friday. He was married on VS 1583 jeyastha shukla 13 day was Thursday Naturally study of his chart would have been interesting. I have come across many charts of Sant Tulasi das, but they are not convincing as they do not justify birth circumstances. As per north Indian sources from vaishnav sampradya , it is believed That Sant Tulasi das was born n VS 1554 ( AD1497) on 7 th month of Sravan at about Sunset .Old Village called Rajpur was somewhere between Allahabad and Banda . We may take Banda as birth place. There were two Sravan month in Samvat 1554 and birth of Tulasi das occurred in adhik maas.Day was Saturday. Tulasi left his mortal coil on vs 1680 sravan Krishna tritya Saturday at age of 126. I have failed to get correct chart using J hora as Birth data does not fit in. Therefore I urge That Chart of Tulasi is worked out and Abhukt mool results are verified by those who want to be precise, with exceptions listed. RCS.
