Do Not Insult Innocents
After sending the Pandavas for vanavasa (life in the forest), Duryodhana was gripped by a wicked thought.
He wanted to go with all paraphernalia to the place where they were staying and show off, making them green
with envy.
Possessed by this thought and displaying all pomp and show, Duryodhana set out and on the way, wished to
indulge in water sport in a pond in the forest. However, he was blocked by the gandharvas (celestial beings)
guarding it. In a bitter battle that ensued, Duryodhana was defeated and captured.
Coming to know of this, Yudhisthira, who was somewhere nearby, got Duryodhana released from the
gandharvas through Bhima and Arjuna, and advised him not to indulge in such things in future.

A Comprehensive Reckoner On
Solar And Lunar Eclipses
| V S KALYANRAMAN
Brihat Samhita contains many useful hints on eclipses. The author helps us understand the scientific
principles and their effects.

the eclipses could be only solar ones. There will be no lunar eclipse at
all, for that year. Generally, the maximum number of eclipses possible
to happen in a year is seven. The maximum number of solar eclipses per
year is five, but this is quite a rare occurrence. The last year in which it
happened was 1935 and the next will be in 2206.
Technically, though it is possible to have more than seven eclipses in one
calendar year, it has not happened so far. Twin eclipses, one of the Sun
and the other of the Moon, both visible at a place, can occur within a
span of a fortnight.
Brihat Samhita contains many useful hints on eclipses. It says that it does
not augur well for the country when two eclipses occur in the same month.
It is stated the kings would perish, because of revolt in the army or bloody
battles. We may have to interpret this as a possible political turmoil or
change in the governments.
All total eclipses start with a penumbral, followed by a partial eclipse,
before they attain totality. Before they end, they become partial once
again to be followed by another penumbral situation. In other words, the
total eclipse will be in the middle, sandwiched between the pair of partial
and penumbral situations. The penumbral phases of the eclipse will be a

The Astrological Secrets of

Relationships and Runanubandha
| Lalitha Devi
In Vedic astrology or Jyotisha, runanubandhaor binding debt is deeply connected with our karma and the attachments
we form with otherswhether its friends, associates, family members, spouses, in-laws, siblings, or offspring. The
author writes how this can be determined in a horoscope.
The word runanubandha might not ring a bell for most. Yet according to
the ancient seers of India, the consequences of this principle can link our
past in carnations to our current one.

of this phenomenon is the strange yet common experience of feeling a

Many would agree that one of the beauties of Vedic astrology or Jyotisha
is its inherent capacity to identify the reasons for such experiences.
This predictive system is a science of time that sheds light on karma
andrevealsthe hidden qualities and outcomes of your relationships,and
your future connections.For the initiated and knowledgeable in Vedic
astrology, the mystery of karmic debts can be solved by analyzingthe
planets that signal bonds and relationships in the birth chart of an
individual. Additional blueprints of these bondages can be found in the
many Vargas or divisional charts. It goes without saying that for those on an
ascetic path looking for enlightenment, theattachments of run anubandha
can delay moksha or liberation from the cycles of death and rebirth.With
the help of Vedic astrology, however, a well-trained astrologer can help
identify the spiritual meaning of our relationships, as well as provide
solutions to getmore balanced human interactions.

Is Relationship Karma (Vedic Compatibility)

a Matter of Luck or Effort?
| Gary Gomes
Relationships, the authors says, in their finest form, will see people joined for life sharing similar goals,
raising children and aiding in each others ambitions. And in their worst form, one will see people behaving
selfishly, irresponsibly, impulsively, even lethally.
As I am writing this, the world is viewing the relationship of Brad Pitt

and Angelina Jolie. The reasons are quite obvious. For those of us old
enough to remember, this parallels the Elizabeth Taylor-Richard Burton
relationship of the sixties. These are two extremely famous, good looking
people, both have had famous relationship partners previously, and both
are near the peak of their popularity.

An Exhaustive Guide to Vedic

(Hindu) Astrology
| Dr. Senay Devi Yangel
It is believed that the planets reflect the divine attributes we are bestowed with by birth and reflect our spiritual
potential. The author explains this in detail.
What is known as Hindu or Vedic Astrology has its origin in India, and
is based on records that go back to 4500 B.C. The founder of this system
is Sage Parashara, who lived in 1500 B.C. and was known to draw up the
first personal natal horoscope. Besides this he worked on the astrology of
health and instigated the indicators of longevity. His manuscripts are still
carefully guarded and kept in India. Another important astrologer who
lived in the same period was Seer Ranavira. He was mainly concerned with
human relationships, womens birth charts and the psychological aspects
of astrology. Vedic Astrology isJyotisha. Jyotisha can be interpreted as
light, brilliant and having to do with the realm of light. It can mean cosmic

take upon themselves the task of dispersing darkness.
As in Western Astrology real birth is considered the time when the new
born baby takes its first breath and cries out. The alignment of the planets
on the sidereal zodiac based on the fixed position of the stars. According
to Indian philosophy the birth chart is an indicator of ones past life karma.
In one of his works Varaha Mihira mentions that the birth chart reflects
the good and bad actions in ones past lives. It is important not to confuse
astrology with fatalism and predestination in this respect.
According to Vedic astrologer Chakrapani Ullal, a fundamental conjecture

of Hindu Astrology is that planets are mere indicative (influencing) forces
that warn about harmful circumstances in ones life. It is the individuals
task to interpret these indicators and to adjust himself so as to avoid
unfavorable consequences. In order for a person to make this choice and
succeed in the struggle, one has to attain to divine grace and also to use
ones personal resources. Understanding astrological phenomena depends
on understanding and interpreting what the planets represent. Planets
represent Maya or illusions that veil the personality. It is necessary to
know all the planets and to resolve them. The alignment of the planets
on the natal chart reflects the powers needed by the individual to resolve
the problems they indicate on the specific areas of the chart.
In traditional Hindu Astrology, the planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto

Panchanga for July 2017
First column gives the English dates and next to it the names of the regional months and dates. The ending moments of
Tithi, Nakshatra, Yoga and Karana are given in the 24 hour clock extending to 30 hours.
Of the Nityayogas, Vishkumbha, Parigha, Vyatipata, Vajra, Vyaghata, Vaidhruthi, Sula, Ganda and Atiganda are generally
spurned for auspicious events and they are marked in red in the Panchanga. Vydhruti pervades from 34640 to 360 and
Vyatipata from 21320 to 22640 of the sum of the Nirayana longitudes of the Sun and the Moon. Vydhruti and Vyatipata
punyakaala are observed on the day when the yogas prevail for 1 hours or more, when Sraddha is performed by the
astute. These two belong to the shannavati -96- Sraddhas ordained for a householder. Considering the astronomical
implications, the Sayana Vydhruti and Vyatipata days are also indicated in the Panchanga. The auspicious Amritayoga
and Siddhayoga and inauspicious Maranayoga and Prabalarishtayoga come under Amirtaadiyoga scheme and are different
from the Nityayogas.
The Karana is the half of the Tithi. They are mainly classified as Sthira - fixed or immovable and Chara or moveable.
The Chara Karanas are seven in number and the Sthira are only four. The fixed ones are inauspicious. They are Sakuni,
Chatushpada, Naga and Kimsatugna. The seven movable Karanas are in their order, Bava, Baalava, Kaulava, Taitila,
Gara, Vanija and Vishti (or Bhadra.) Among the movable Karanas Vishti or Bhadra is considered to be of dreadful. The
forbidden Karanas are marked in red for easy identification.
We have most of our religious observances pegged on to the Tithis. Pournamipooja Chandradarisana, Sankataharachaturthi
Vrata, Shastivrata, Ekadasi Vrata and Pradosha are specially mentioned in the Panchanga. Pournamipooja is done in the
evenings on days the full Moon is prevalent. Chandradarisana is observed on the evening on the day when the crescent
Moon appears for the first time in the west after the Amavasya. Chaturthi of the Krishnapaksha or Bahula Chaturthi of
every month is known as Sankataharachaturthi. The evenings of Sukla and Krishna Trayodasi days are specially observed
as Pradosha Vrata days.
