Editorial
I was searching the net for something when a news article struck me and I thought I should comment
on this in this issue of AIAC Times.
The news article is from August 17, 2003 and appeared in Washington Times:

To answer this test result, I would like to put forth some facts based on medical science.
Below are the symptoms of normal seasonal flu. The results are from a UK based medical website
http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Flu/Pages/Symptoms.aspx
Seasonal flu can give you any of these symptoms:
sudden fever (a temperature of 38C/100.4F or above),

dry, chesty cough,
headache,
tiredness,
chills,
aching muscles,
limb or joint pain,
diarrhea or stomach upset,
sore throat,
runny or blocked nose,
sneezing,
loss of appetite, and
difficulty in sleeping.
Babies and small children with flu may also appear drowsy, unresponsive and floppy.
Your symptoms will usually peak after two to three days and you should begin to feel much better
within five to eight days. A cough and general tiredness may last for two to three weeks.

Below are the symptoms of Swine Flu. The website reference is
http://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/flu-guide/swine-flu-faq-1?page=2#symptoms
Symptoms of H1N1 swine flu are like regular flu symptoms and include fever, cough, sore throat,
runny nose, body aches, headache, chills, and fatigue. Many people with swine flu have had diarrhea
and vomiting. Nearly everyone with flu has at least two of these symptoms. But these symptoms can
also be caused by many other conditions. That means that you and your doctor can't know, just based
on your symptoms, if you've got swine flu. Health care professionals may offer a rapid flu test,
although a negative result doesn't mean you don't have the flu. The accuracy of the test depends on
the quality of the manufacturers test, the sample collection method, and how much viral sample a
person is shedding at the time of testing.
Although the symptoms of both flu and swine flu are the same, we cannot conclude that they are the
same disease. On the very same grounds, just because two people are born in the same time it doesnt
mean that they will have exactly same life styles. Jyotish has never claimed this and this is why the
factors of Sthana, Kala and Patra come in about which I have written about in AIAC Times Vol 1.
However, this very experiment proves the success of jyotish and not its failure. What compelled
these researchers to conduct an experiment on 2,000 babies born in early March 1958?
The very fact that each of these babies (born in 1958 early March) were kept under a research
supervision all their life itself talks about something common in all their charts.
It is stated that these babies were born minutes away from each other.
Let us see their charts I have assumed that the date of birth is March 10, 1958, time of birth is 20:12:29
hours, and place of birth is London, UK (below):
We see a strong influence of two malefics on

the Lagna, Rahu and Saturn. The Lagna lord is
influenced by Saturn very strongly and shows
the influence of cold research from the fourth
house. There are numerous other combinations
in this chart that show how unfortunate these
kids were to be tracked all their life as mere
guinea pigs of an experiment. Did the
researchers ever think once that by keeping
track of all their (the childrens) lives they
themselves were playing their role in
establishing the truth in jyotish. When will
people really see the light?

Jupiters column
Creation
In the first chapter of Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra, Parasara answers the question of Creation put
by his student Maitreya. A few verses from it with my commentary are being produced below. The
whole chapter will be a book by itself, sometime in the future. The way these few verses are
explained should be a motivation to the modern scientific minded jyotishis to delve deeper into the
realm of jyotish and relate it to science as we know it today.
eko-avyakta-aatmako viSHNuH-anaadiH prabhuH-IshwaraH
shuddhasatwo jagat-swaamI nirguNaH-triguNa-anwitaH (9)

prabhuH-IshwaraH lord
shuddha pure
satwo- entity
jagat-swaamI lord of the cosmos
nirguNaH-triguNa-anwitaH - one who is above and beyond the three gunas Satwa, Rajas
and Tamas
[Amarnaths Commentary Parasara rishi reiterates the belief in Sanatan Dharma that God is one.
He can be called MahaVishnu or Sada Shiva or any other name. This principle monotheistic belief is
reiterated by Parasara rishi when he says eko-avyakta-aatmako which means one all pervading
Almighty. God is indescribable since he is beyond human comprehension. The three Gunas with
which creation functions are Satwa, Raja and Tama Gunas. God is beyond the three Gunas and has
transcended creation. This has to be the case since He is the creator of the Universe. A little note on
the three Gunas seems relevant to mention here. The word Guna means attribute. Satwa Guna is
a state of perfect balance. It is often equated with balanced light and a result of Satwo is happiness
and joy. Tamo (or Tama) Guna is a state of darkness and thus the result of the guna is ignorance.
Rajo (or Raja) is the state between darkness and balanced light. Too little or excessive light is also
Rajo Guna. Rajo Guna is a dynamic attribute and results in dissatisfaction. According to physics,
matter and energy are the two components of the physical universe. Matter can be equated to Tamo
Guna and Energy to Satwo and Rajo Guna. Dynamic Energy is Rajo Guna and Static Energy is
Satwo Guna.]

shrImaan glorious

prattapawaan one having valor
ekaamShena by a part
jagat-sarvam all the cosmos
srijati- create
avati destroy
LIlayaa as a play, divine game
[Amarnaths Commentary By just a part of Himself, the Lord creates, maintains and destroys the
physical universe as per his divine play. It is a deep rooted belief in Sanatan Dharma that God is in
every one and everyone is born with a portion of the God. God also exists everywhere and in
everything, living or non-living. The whole culture of the Sanatan Dhrama (popularly known as
Hinduism) is based on this principle. A Hindu is greeted not by a handshake but by folded hands and
by the utterance of the word Namaskara (or the modern short form of it called Namaste), which
literally means I bow to the God in you (Namah bow in form of reverence, Ish- God, kara-I do).]
Is there a deeper significance to why only a part of God is used in the creation of the dynamic
physical universe we live in? Did Parasara rishi just make this up on a random basis? To search for
the answer, let us visit the NASA website
http://science.nasa.gov/astrophysics/focus-areas/what-is-dark-energy/
It turns out that roughly 70% of the Universe is dark energy. Dark matter makes up about 25%. The rest -
everything on Earth, everything observed with all of our instruments, all normal matter - adds up to less than 5%
of the Universe. Come to think of it, maybe it shouldn't be called "normal" matter at all, since it is such a small
fraction of the Universe.
Thus it seems that Parasara rishi was in tune with modern science when we wrote the above verses.
Only a part ekaamShena of the Lord is used to create, maintain and destroy the universe which is
the play of matter and its counterpart energy, in other words the play area of His divine game. This
is the area where matter and energy plays its game and this is the area where Purusha and Prakriti
dominates, Purusha being matter, Prakriti being energy.

tripaadam tasya devatwa hi amritam tattwadarshinaH

tripaadam - three quarter

tasya - his
devatwa Godliness
hi - indeed
amritam nectar
tattwadarshinaH - knowing the true nature of the ultimate reality/ philosopher
vidanti know
tat- that
pramaaNam- validity of knowledge/evidence/proof
cha -and
sapradhaanam- with prominent
tathaa- in that manner
ekapaat happening continuously
[Amarnaths Commentary Only a Tattwa Darshina will be able to know and get the evidence of
75% of the God which is pure nectar (or ether). Tattwa means the elements and Darshan is
philosophy. Only one who is a philosopher on the elements or in modern terms a quantum physicist.
Perhaps 70 % of Dark Energy is approximated to 75% by Parasara rishi for easy remembrance. In the
next sentence Parasara says that know that the evidence of this is present anytime and is happening
continuously. What this means is that the % of dark energy in the universe is constant and can be
verified at any time.]
In the next few verses, Parasara rishi goes on to explain the created universe with beautiful analogy
from Krishnas life which has been so misunderstood till today. I will write about this and do plan to
publish this in a more organized book sometime in the future.
I again appeal to the growing intelligence of young and modern jyotishis not to waste time on useless
arguments in cyber forums but to shut down the computer, pick-up a classic and read. Then try to
comprehend the classic in terms of the time and period in which it was written and see its validity in
the modern era. BVB and K.N. Rao have done a wonderful job in statistical research but have failed
terribly explain the why behind the theory. SJC and Sanjay Rath have a done a splendid job in
explaining some of the very important whys but have failed terribly in expressing and interpreting
the facts without religious annotations or in terms of modern scientific facts. However, they have
showed us the path and it is now up to us to walk it and take jyotish to the next step.

Suns column
Swearing-
Swearing-in charts by Surasa
The original premise of this months Suns column was to examine the effect of the Suns
position at the inauguration of U.S. Presidents on their presidential terms. There are many factors in
mundane astrology relating to the time for oath taking ceremonies. Of particular importance is
lagna, planets in lagna, Moon, planets in Kendra and trikona, panchang, and of course, the Sun, since
it represents the countrys head of state, its soul and expression. Below is a recommendation from
Daivagya Acharya Shri Rams Muhurta Chintamani, translated by G.C. Sharma, Sagar Publications:
The auspicious Muhurta for the Coronation of a king is when the Sun is in Uttaryana (moving towards
the North and is in the signs from Capricorn to Gemini), Jupiter, the Moon and Venus are not combust, Mars,
the Sun, the Lord of the Natal Ascendant, the Lord of the Present Dasha of the would-be-king and the Lord of
the Janama Rasi or sign are endowed with strength.
Also Chapter 18 of Time Tested Techniques of Mundane Astrology, M.S Mehta and A. Radhika,
Vani Publications contains a thorough discussion of the various factors with examples.
Regarding U.S. presidents, there is a limitation regarding the day of the inauguration. Since
1789 until the passage of the 20th Amendment, presidential inaugurations were held on March 4 with
some exceptions (i.e. March 4 falling on a Sunday (4 times) and the deaths of Harrison, Taylor,
Lincoln (assassination), Garfield (assassination), McKinley (assassination) and Harding). No time
was legislated for taking the oath of office on March 4, however, it was traditionally done at noon or
close to noon on inauguration day.
The 20th Amendment of 1933 set noon on January 20 (6 degrees Capricorn) as the beginning
of the presidential term and the ending of the prior term, and changed the inauguration day from
March 4 (19 degrees Aquarius), ostensibly to shorten the lame duck period between the outgoing
and incoming administrations. January 20 is five or six days after the Suns entry into Capricorn
which is the beginning of uttarayana or the upward movement of the Sun. As cited above, Jyotish
classics prescribe that coronations should take place during uttarayana, when the Sun is in the rasis
from Capricorn to Gemini (roughly from mid-January to mid-July).
The source of the noon inauguration tradition is likely English history which is based on even
earlier tradition. For example, the coronation of William the Conqueror took place on Christmas day
in 1066 at noon in London. About two and half centuries earlier, Charlemagne was crowned in 800 on
Christmas day, also at noon, the time chosen by the court's astrologer. Interestingly, Christmas Day
was about 9 degrees Capricorn in the tropical zodiac.
Abhijit muhurta (8th muhurta of the day) is consideration one of the best muhurtas for oaths
and coronations of heads of state, the Suns particular province. It begins about 1 ghati (24 minutes)
before Local Noon Time (LNT) and ends 24 minutes thereafter (total 48 minutes) or approximately
11:25 am to 12:25 pm local time. When the Sun first enters Capricorn, particularly if LNT is used, the
Abhijit muhurta guarantees placement of the Sun in the 10th house where it gets directional strength.

In addition to the above astrological criteria, the Suns relationship with Saturn (both are
karakas of the 10th house of royalty) is important. The Sun rules the Kshatriya class (politicians and
rulers). For both dates, March 4 and January 20, the Suns dispositor is Saturn but for the March 4
dates, we have to also look at Rahu, the co-ruler of Aquarius, keeping in mind that that Saturns caste
is Sudra (workers) and Rahus caste is Chandala (the opposition).
Unfortunately, I was unable to locate inauguration times for any presidents prior to Franklin
Roosevelt except for George Washington. (The inauguration times I have are courtesy of
Astrologers Weekly.) However, it turns out that these two presidents, Washington and Roosevelt,
happen to be the most significant in regard to the length of their presidential terms. George
Washington is important because he was the first president (1789-1797), and served two four year
terms, setting a precedent that was followed by all succeeding presidents until Franklin Roosevelt, the
32nd president (1933-1945) who served the longest of any president (over three complete terms) causing
passage of the 22nd Amendment limiting presidents to two 8 year terms. For a more modern
comparison, the inaugurations of the most recent presidents, George W. Bush and Barak Obama are
also discussed.
The question has been raised whether changing the U.S. inauguration day from March 4 to
January 20 at noon changed the countrys destiny from the original purpose of the founding fathers.
An American astrologer and occultist, Dan Sewell Ward, lamented moving the swear-in day from
March 4 to January 20. He says Originally the dating of major events of the Republic was based on:
July 4 (Independence Day), approximately November 4 (Election Day), and March 4 for the
presidential inauguration. The November day was varied slightly in that Tuesday (ruled by Mars
assertiveness) needed to be election day.The 4th day of these three months (exactly one-third of a
year apart) represents a grand trine, one of the most delightful and beneficial aspects in astrology. It
was good news for the nation as a whole....The change destroyed the grand trine...It is noteworthy
that the powers that be deemed it important to change the inauguration date. Apparently they had
more respect for astrology than one might have thought.
An opposing argument could be made that the January 20 date is far better suited to the world
power that the U.S. would become. Compare the Suns position on March 4 at noon (in Aquarius in
the 9th house where it is a karaka) to the Suns position on January 20 at noon (in Capricorn in the 10th
house where it gets dig bala). The country grew from an isolationist agricultural-industrial power
into the worlds greatest military power during Franklin Roosevelts administration. Roosevelts first
inauguration was on March 4, 1933. His second inauguration was on January 20, 1937, when the 20th
Amendment first went into effect.

Although set for March 4, 1789 as prescribed by the Confederation Congress, George
Washingtons first inauguration was delayed until Thursday, April 30, 1789 1:48:30 pm, New York
City:
Left: George Washington Swearing the

Presidential Oath on the Masonic Bible
in 1789. Below: George Washington
Inaugural Bible.
The chart has Leo rising, one of the recommended lagnas for oaths. Lagna is ruled by exalted Sun in
Aries which is with Venus and Mercury in the 9th. The Sun is very strong in the chart followed by
exalted Jupiter (8th house ruler). This follows Mehta et al.s recommendation that the 8th house have
benefic aspects and the lagna lord be stronger than the 8th lord. The Sun is in uttarayana and the
week day was Thursday, both positive. Saturn in its own sign of Aquarius gets dig bala in the 7th and
provides ballast to the shining 1st house that we think of from that time in history. Mars in the 8th in
Pisces rules both the Sun and debilitated Rahu in the 4th in Scorpio. Rahu has graha drishti on both

Mars and exalted Jupiter and the once-rebels must deal with the shock of letting go of England and
forging their new countrys identity. Saturn aspects the Sun by both rasi and graha drishti (3rd
aspect) and aspects Rahu by 10th graha aspect indicating a dry but stable beginning for the new
government and its relationship with its President. Washington wanted to serve without payment
but finally accepted payment to avoid making the presidency possible only for the wealthy. He
turned out to be a skilled and fair administrator and only reluctantly agreed to serve a second term.
George Washingtons second inauguration took place on the prescribed day, March 4, 1793, a
Monday, this time in Philadelphia, and reportedly he took the oath precisely at noon:
Sun is with lagna lord Mercury in the 9th in Aquarius and on the Rahu/Ketu axis. The Suns lord is
Saturn (karaka of the 8th) debilitated in Aries and Saturn aspects the Sun by rasi drishti. Washington
limited himself to serving two four year terms. The Suns co-lord Rahu (the opposition) opposes the
Sun by graha drishti. In 1794, Washington ably took up military command again to enforce a whisky
tax (Sun rules Rahu in the 3rd, Mars in 10th in Pisces is aspected by Jupiter in Scorpio in the 6th).
Moon and Jupiter are together in the 6th house of service but Moon is debilitated. By limiting himself
to two terms, Washington set a precedent followed by every president until war-time President
Franklin Roosevelt. At the end of his last term, he was very happy to return to farming.

Jumping to the first inauguration of Franklin Roosevelt, the 32nd president:
Franklin Roosevelt
and Herbert Hoover
on inauguration day,
March 4 1933 during
the procession to the
Capitol.
The Sun (president) is in Aquarius in the 9th house with Venus and its lord Rahu (the opposition) all
of which are aspected by graha drishti by Jupiter (R) and Mars (R) in the 3rd. Saturn (karaka of the
8th longevity) is lord of the 8th and in its own house and aspects Lagna lord Mercury in the 10th. The
country was in the midst of the Great Depression, fighting for survival. A lot of things are about to
happen and bold steps will be taken (Sun is lord of the 3rd, the house of courage). Immediately upon
taking office, Roosevelt worked on relief programs eventually creating the FDIC, initiating budget
reform, and the first and second New Deals. By the second half of his first term, due to the success of

his programs, he gained much greater support from Congress. Needless to say, he also had many
enemies (6th house ruler Mars (R) with Jupiter (R) in the 3rd house) including the war veterans in a
dispute over benefits and people opposed to the confiscation of privately owned gold. Though he
suffered from polio, he managed to keep his disability from public knowledge throughout his political
career.
Franklin Roosevelts second inauguration, the first under the 22nd Amendment, took place on
Wednesday, January 20, 1937, 12:29 pm, U.S. Capitol, Washington DC:
The Sun is in Capricorn in the 10th where it gets directional strength, one of the classical positions for
oaths. The Sun is aspected by Mars by 4th graha drishti, its only aspect. The challenges facing him
included the growing threat of Hitler and the isolationist attitude of the nation (Moon in the 1st in
Aries, opposed by Mars in the 7th and aspected by Rahu and Jupiter in the 9th as well as Saturn in the
7th). He secretly developed the countrys military arsenal (8th house Scorpio) and forged a close
relationship with Winston Churchill (Mars in the 7th). Finally, in 1940 he openly opposed the
Neutrality Acts by giving destroyers to Great Britain. He ran for an unprecedented third term and
won by appealing to popular isolationist sentiment promising to do everything he could to keep the
country out of the war. His third inauguration (not shown) took place on January 20, 1941, 12:03
EWT, U.S. Capitol, Washington, DC. By December of that year, after the bombing of Pearl Harbor,
the country was at war with Japan and Nazi Germany.
For Roosevelts fourth and final inauguration, I could not find a recorded time, so the chart
below uses the legal time, January 20, 1945, noon, White House, Washington DC:

Suns ruler Saturn (R) is in the 3rd with Rahu aspected by Mars, Mercury and Ketu by graha drishti 7th
aspect. Mars is both lagna ruler and ruler of the 8th (likely not recommended for oaths since you want
the ruler of the chart to be stronger than the 8th house ruler). In addition, by shad bala, Mars is the
weakest planet in the chart, and creates a lot of havoc. The Sun in the 10th in Capricorn only has 5th
graha drishti from Jupiter (R) and no other aspects. Roosevelt died of a massive brain hemorrhage on
April 12, 1945 during his natal Ketu/Rahu/Jupiter Vimsottari dasha, just shy of three months into his
4th term. Jupiter in this case provided the escape route afforded by death.
For application of these concepts to modern presidents, inauguration charts and short
descriptions are provided below for George W. Bush and Obama.

Suns lord Saturn (R) is in the 2nd with Jupiter (R) in Taurus and is aspected by Rahu (12th aspect).
Ketu in the 9th is only aspected by Rahu. Defense is weak (i.e. events of 9-11). Jupiter and Sun aspect
the Sun by graha drishti indicating initial money and popular support. 4th lord Moon in Scorpio in
the 8th is MKS and debilitated, not good for the happiness of the country.
Suns lord Saturn (R) in the 3rd. Communication mishaps, torture scandals hit the news. Rahu
(opposition) is strong in the 1st and Ketu (the defender) is now much stronger in the 7th. Mars is ruler
of the 1st and 8th and is in the 8th in Scorpio. Something is going to die Hurricane Katrina in August
2005. 9th lord Jupiter in the 6th, religious fundamentalism and its enemies.

The ruler of the 10th in the 5th and the ruler of the 5th in the 10th shows a strong start for the incoming
administration, harmonious relationship between 5th house karma (splendor, intellect, creative
energy) and the 10th house (karma, authority, honor, government). 10th house contains Sun, Jupiter
(debilitated), Mercury (R) and Rahu. Lagna lord Mars in the 9th in Sagittarius is aspected by Rahu
(12th graha aspect), assassination attempts likely and have been reported. Again, as in George Ws
first inauguration, 4th lord Moon is in Scorpio in the 8th is MKS and debilitated. This time Ketu is in
the 4th indicating a more detached attitude. The country is still suffering from the housing and
financial crises of 2007.

The story of Lomasa Samhita
It is mentioned in many classics that the eighteen sages (named above) has been recognized as the
original creators of Jyotish or astrology. One of the sages mentioned there is Lomasa rishi.
Recently a hunt has begun to find works or manuscripts or translations of Lomasa rishiss work called
Lomasa Samhita.
Lomasa Samhita translation is very much in print and there is no apparent reason to mark this classic
as lost knowledge. I have a copy of Lomsasa Samhita with me in Chicago and anyone interested can
contact me. Those in India or in any part of the world can purchase a copy of the book (original
Sanskrit text with translation into English) from the Publisher details given below:
Lomasa Samhita
Translated in Hindi with original Sanskrit text by Dr. Girijashankar

Girijashankar Shastri
Publisher Vibhuti Mishra, Hindi Sahitya Sammelan, Prayag
Address 12, Sammelan Marg, Allahabad 3, India
I am holding the book in my hands now and I can assure you that it is very readable, authentic and
the translation done by Shastri is great. There is absolutely no need to break heads over the original
Sanskrit manuscript for this classic when it is printed and published as a book.
I have read Lomasa Samhita and as evidence I am going to do two things in this article. I am going to
provide the Table of Contents for the book and I am going to summarize the backdrop of the story in
Lomasa Samhita.
The backdrop of Lomasa Samhita

Lomasa Samhita has a wonderful backdrop story before the astrological concepts are discussed in the
classic. The jyotish concepts discussed in the classic are put in the form of a dialogue between
Sujanma and Lomasa rishi, Sujnama rishi being the disciple and Lomasa rishi being the Guru. Before

I go to the details of the backdrop story of Lomasa Samhita, it should be mentioned that the name
Lomasa means one who is hairy in appearance with excess body hair.
The Samhita begins with an introduction by Lomasa rishi himself. Lomasa rishi states that once all
sages including Shounak were present in a forest called Naimisharanya. All the sages asked the
most illustrious rishi Suta about the knowledge which gives the result of all Karma. Suta rishi states
this knowledge is the most secret and sacred. This question about Karma and Jyotish was first asked
by Devi Parvati to Lord Shiva. Lord Shiva, in response to Devi Parvati, first mentioned the
importance of the name of Rama (avatar of Vishnu). He then added that the root of all knowledge is
He Himself, but the one who spread it to humanity is Lomasa rishi. Lord Shiva went on to say that
Lomasa rishi is the son of Brahma. The sages Bhrigu, Vashishtha, Narad and many other rishis
learned astrology from Lomasa rishi. Lord Shiva even specifies how and when each rishi (including
Parasara, Garga etc. sages) got the knowledge of Lomasa samhita from the disciples of Lomasa rishi.
There are many details mentioned in the classic such as the planetary configuration under which
Lomasa Samhita began. Devi Parvati inquired as to why this Samhita was studied and written in the
first place. To answer this Lord Shiva mentions the backdrop of Lomasa Samhita below.
Once upon a time in Krita Yuga, there was an extremely powerful and honest king who ruled the
present West Bengal (India) and Bangladesh region (Vanga desha) called Krittidhwaja. His first
wife Kamala had twins. They were born to the same parents, in the same year, month, tithi (phase of
the moon), same day of the week, with the same Yoga, Lagna (Ascendant), Kala (time). However,
their appearance and nature were completely different. One child was fair, the other one was dark,
one was tall and the other short. As time went on, one grew up to be extremely kind natured and the
other very cruel and scheming. The king got extremely worried about this phenomenon and invited
all the great sages of the time. Vashishtha, Kashyap, Bhrigu, Garga and many other prominent sages
and learned men arrived in the kings kingdom. After taking care of their well-being, the king
showed them the natal chart of his two sons and inquired about this diametrically contradictory
nature and appearance of his twin kids. The chart details are clearly mentioned in the classic and it is
as given below:
Both the kids (princes) had the same Rasi (house) and Graha (planetary) positions and identical
Navamsas.
The natal chart had Pisces rising in the natal chart with Jupiter and Moon in Pisces. Mars was

Aquarius.
Seeing this chart, all sages present made some predictions. They are given below
The kids will be extremely kind, skilled in warfare, destroyer of their enemies. They will be fair in
complexion, righteous, tall and muscular. In the 8th year they will begin their education. In the 12th
year they will get married. In the 28th year, they will have kids. In the 32rd year there will be a great
war in the kingdom in which they will die and achieve the heavenly abode. Their death date will be
Magha month (Sun in Aquarius, February March), Shukla Paksha (bright half of the Moon),
Dwadashi (12th. day of the bright moon), Sunday at sunrise facing the northern direction.

On hearing the predictions, the king mentioned that all the predictions made were true for one of the
twins but not true for the other one. The other twin was evil, cruel, cowardly, and illiterate, with an
awful temper, dark complexioned, short in stature and very poor.
The king requested the sages to analyze the situation and let him know as to why one child was so
different from the other when both were born around the same time with the same Rasi and
Navamsa chart.
The sages then replied to the king saying that he should ask this question to his priest Sumati who
was from the family of rishi Bhrigu. They assured him that Sumati rishi would know the answer to
the question posed by the king of Bengal Krittidhwaja.
The king immediately asked for Sumati and sent his messenger to Sumatis home. Sumati rishi used
to live in Anga desha (the present day Bihar, India). To cut the long story short, Sumati had passed
away and instead his son Sujanma came to the kings court. Sujanma was well received and after the
initial discourse was asked to look at the puzzle of the twin princes. Sujanma replied that he had
studied everything from his father except jyotish and was incapable of replying to the king. All the
sages then explained the importance of jyotish and how one can never be called a true Brahmin
without the knowledge of jyotish. Sujanma mentioned that he wanted to learn it and asked the sages
for the name of a teacher he could learn it from. They gave him the name of Lomasa rishi who lived
in Badrinarayan.
Sujanam went to Lomasa rishi and requested the knowledge of jyotish from him. The discourse
between Lomasa rishi and Sujanma is recorded as Lomasa Samhita.

Khonar Bochon (Gochar Bichar)

Abhishekha and Saptarishis Astrology did a wonderful job (and are doing a great job) in bringing to
our notice the rare ancient jyotish works lost in time.
To read an introduction on Khona, I would request readers to download and read Abhishekhas article
on Saptarishis Astrology.
Below is a translation (and Bengali transcribed Sanskrit text and Bengali translation by Pandit
Ramapada Bhattacharya) of the chapter on Gochar Bichar (Transit Results) of the text Khonar
Bochon (the Sayings of Khona).
The text of this book was provided to me by Saptarishis Astrology Group and I am thankful to them
for providing me the same.
Influence of Transit Planets
Transit timeframe of planets

Sun stays in a zodiac sign for 1 month. Similarly, Moon stays in a sign for 2.5 days, Mars for 45 days,
Mercury for 18 days, Jupiter for 1 year, Venus for 28 days, Saturn for 2.5 years, Rahu for 1.5 years.
Under normal circumstances, each planet stays in a zodiac sign for the above mentioned time frames
and influences the sign. However due to the alternating direct and retrograde motion of the five
planets (viz. Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn), the length of time they stay in a sign varies
and sometimes can be less than the times mentioned above.

Result of the transit of Sun in the natal chart from the natal Moon sign
If Sun transits the natal Moon sign, then the native goes astray in life. If Sun transits the second
house from the natal Moon sign, then the native experiences fear. Transit into the third house (from
the natal Moon sign) causes gain in fortune, into the fourth causes disrespect or embarrassment, into
the fifth causes poverty, into the sixth causes victory over foes, into the seventh causes destruction of
wealth, into the eight causes pain and suffering, into the ninth causes loss of charm, into the tenth
causes growth in profession, into the eleventh causes growth in property, into the twelfth causes
destruction of property, wealth and causes serious harm to the native.
[Amarnaths Commentary The transit of Sun into the signs is an indication of solar months. The
above mentioned verses indicate favorable months for the native. Let us take an example. If
someone has a natal Moon sign of Leo, then according to the above verse, Suns transit in Libra,
Capricorn, Taurus and Gemini would give favorable results. If we map this according to the Hindu
calendar, then the time period between Tula Sankranti (the solar day when Sun enters sidereal Libra
sign) to Vrishchik Sankranti, Makar Sankranti to Kumbha Sankranti, Vrishabha Sankranti to Karka
Sankranti (Vrishabha to Mithuna would be 10th house and Mithuna to Karka would be 11th house and
hence they are grouped together as positive results) will be favorable to the native. If we further go
by the Gregorian calendar dates, we would see that approximately 14 October to 14 November, 14
January to 14 February, 14 May to 14 June, 14 June to 14 July will be favorable to the native every year.
However, as a personal observation I add that the exact degree of the natal Moon sign holds special
significance. Let me explain with an example. Let us assume that two natives are born with Moon in
Leo. One has Moon in 2 degrees Leo (native 1) and the other in 23 degrees Leo (native 2). When the
Sun transits 2 degrees Gemini, that time will hold special significance for native 1 and when Sun
transits 23 degrees Gemini, native 2 will experience special significance as per the rules laid down by
the great Khana. This transit result of the Sun based on the exact degree of the natal Moon would
hold true for transit results of other planets too. This transit result is based on a solar year.]

Result of the transit of Moon in the natal chart from the natal Moon sign
If Moon transits the natal Moon sign, then the native gains wealth. If Moon transits the second
house from the natal Moon sign, then the native loses property and wealth. Transit into the third
house (from the natal Moon sign) makes one receive gifts, into the fourth causes pain in the stomach
region, into fifth causes loss in professional life, into sixth causes gain in property and wealth, into
seventh causes gain in terms of gifts and women (partner), into the eight causes death to the native,
into the ninth causes fear from government or those in power, into the tenth causes great happiness
and joy, into the eleventh causes growth in wealth, into the twelfth causes sickness and loss in wealth
to the native.
[Amarnaths Commentary Transit of the Moon through each sign occurs almost every 3 days. Thus
the phenomenon is very common and the native may not experience the above results on a continued
and on-going basis. However, based on other parameters of operating Dasas and coupled with transit
effects of other planets, the transit effect of the Moon can be a very effective predictive tool.]

Result of the transit of Mars in the natal chart from the natal Moon sign
If Mars transits the natal Moon sign, then the native experiences fear from enemies. If Mars transits
the second house from the natal Moon sign, then the native loses wealth. Transit into the third house
(from the natal Moon sign) makes one gain wealth, into the fourth causes fear from enemies, into
fifth causes death (or fear of death), into sixth causes gain in property and wealth, into seventh causes
grief, into the eight causes danger from sharp weapons, into the ninth causes loss in professional life,
into the tenth causes is considered auspicious, into the eleventh causes gain in land, into the twelfth
causes sickness and loss in wealth and is considered inauspicious to the native.
[Amarnaths Commentary Transiting Mars being a natural malefic has been given a lot of
importance. Varahamihira in his book Brihat Samhita mentions a number of verses dealing with the
transit of Mars (and other natural malefics). One such verse deals with Rohini Sakata Vedha.
Although this doesnt strictly deal with transiting Mars with respect to natal Moon, but such verses
do throw a lot of light on the importance on the transit of natural malefics.]
Result of the transit of Mercury in the natal chart from the natal Moon sign
If Mercury transits the natal Moon sign, then the native experiences association with people. If
Mercury transits the second house from the natal Moon sign, then the native gains wealth. Transit
into the third house (from the natal Moon sign) makes one fear from enemies, into the fourth causes
gain of money, into fifth causes scarcity of wealth (or poverty), into sixth causes gain in land and
causes recognition, into seventh causes various kinds of illness, into the eight causes gain in money,
into the ninth causes great physical sickness, into the tenth causes happiness and joy, into the
eleventh causes monetary gain, into the twelfth causes prosperity (in terms of wealth and property)
to the native.

Result of the transit of Jupiter in the natal chart from the natal Moon sign
If Jupiter transits the natal Moon sign, then the native experiences fear. If Jupiter transits the second
house from the natal Moon sign, then the native gains tremendous name, fame and wealth. Transit
into the third house (from the natal Moon sign) makes one suffer from physical pain, into the fourth
causes lose of money, into fifth gives auspicious results, into the sixth gives inauspicious results, into
seventh causes worship of royal deity, into the eight causes loss of money, into the ninth causes gain
in wealth, into the tenth causes loss in love or relationship, into the eleventh causes gain in land and
wealth, into the twelfth causes physical and mental pain to the native.
[Additional Notes Transiting Jupiter when in first or eighth from natal Moon causes separation
from friends (or loss of friends), when in fourth and twelfth causes loss of wealth, when in sixth
causes illness, when in third causes unnecessary argument and when in tenth causes complete loss of
all possessions of native.]

Result of the transit

transit of Venus in the natal chart from the natal Moon sign
If Venus transits the natal Moon sign, then the native wins over enemies. If Venus transits the
second house from the natal Moon sign, then the native gains wealth. Transit into the third house
(from the natal Moon sign) brings happiness and joy, into the fourth causes gain of money, into fifth
indicates child birth, into sixth indicates rise in enemies, into seventh causes sorrow, into the eight
causes monetary gain, into the ninth causes gain in various types of fine garments, into the tenth
causes inauspicious results, into the eleventh causes tremendous gain in wealth, into the twelfth
indicates incoming wealth to the native.
Result of the transit of Saturn in the natal chart from the natal Moon
Moon sign
If Saturn transits the natal Moon sign, then the native suffers from depression and loss of interest in
things. If Saturn transits the second house from the natal Moon sign, then the native mental anxiety
and sorrow. Transit into the third house (from the natal Moon sign) causes defeat of enemies and
increase in wealth and prosperity, into the fourth causes increase in animosity, into fifth indicates
child birth, servants and loss of wealth, into sixth causes indicates monetary gain, into seventh causes
various types of ills to the native, into the eight causes physical pain, into the ninth causes loss in

wealth, into the tenth causes mental tension and anxiety, into the eleventh causes gain in wealth, into
the twelfth indicates tremendous inauspicious results to the native.
[Amarnaths Commentary The time period between the entry of transiting Saturn in the 12H from
natal Moon sign until Saturns exit from the 2H from the natal Moon sign is called the dreaded Sade-
Sati (sade sath means 7.5, Saturn takes 2.5 years to transit a zodiac sign).]
Result of the transit of Rahu in the natal chart from the natal Moon sign
Transiting Rahu when in first, twelfth, fifth, eighth, ninth, fourth, second and seventh from natal
Moon causes loss of wealth, fear from enemies, obstruction in work, illness, journey to foreign land,
death and fear from fire.
Result of the transit of Ketu in the natal chart from the natal Moon sign
The transit of Ketu in eleventh, third, tenth and sixth from natal Moon causes good name in society,
ability to enjoy life, recognition from government (those in power), happiness and gain in wealth. It
should also be noted that the transit in Ketu in the above mentioned houses from the Moon sign of
the native also causes divine blessings and joy from obedient men and women who work for the
native.

Comparative study of Planetary Transits (Graha Gochar Vichar)
I have provided below a comparative study of a few classics with result to planetary transit results.
The classical references are -
Brihat Samhita, Varahamihira, author - N.C.Iyer (Chapter 104)
Brihat Samhita, Varahamihira, author Dr. Sureshchandra Mishra (Volume 2) (Chapter 100)
Something noteworthy in the book is Verse 3 where Varahamihira extols Mandavya. He mentions that one who
has read the works of Mandavya on planetary transits will not feel the need to read his works.

[Amarnaths Commentary I have made some observations based on the transit results detailed in

Occupation of Sudetenland [October, 1938] Sun in Virgo (10H from natal Moon position)
- Napoleon Bonaparte had Moon in Capricorn
Invasion of Italy [March, 1796] Sun was in the third house of Pisces (from natal Moon)
Invasion/Victory of Poland [October, 1939] Sun in Virgo (10H from natal Moon position)
When coupled with appropriate Dasas and natal chart analysis, planetary transit analysis can be a
very effective tool.
Daivagya Acharya Shri Ram mentions the concept of Vedha from planets when dealing with transit
results. The literal translation of Vedha in English would mean to pierce through something. In
astrological terms, it would mean that some planets (in transit) would cause obstruction (Vedha) to
other planets (in transit) in certain houses when placed in a relative position to the planet it is causing
Vedha too.]

Atharvavediyajyotisham SaptadinadhipaH by Maharshi Abhay Katyana (translated by AIAC)

The most detailed work on Vedanga Jyotish that I found is Atharvana Jyotish (Jyotish part of
Atharva Veda). Below is a translation of one verse of the text. This is one article where I take no
credit for interpretation of the verses. The work done by Maharshi Abhay Katyana is remarkable and
in a class by itself. I am merely being an English translator for this article.
AdityaH Somo BhaumaschaH Tatha Budha BruhaspatiH |
Bhargavo Shanaishcharaschauva Ete Sapta DinadhipaH ||
[Amarnaths translation of Maharshi Abhay Katyanas notes (in Hindi) For this issue, I am just
translating the origin of the word Sunday as written by Maharshi. Maharshi Abhay Katyana writes
that many are of the opinion that the 7-day week concept is foreign to the Vedic culture and is
incorporated in it after foreign influence (Greek, Arabs etc.). He mentions that some scholars believe
this to be true since the 7-day week is not mentioned in Rig Veda. Maharshi disagrees with the above
and mentions that it is not necessary that Rig Veda mentions all ancient philosophies since it is a
primary text. However, in the above mentioned verses, the 7-days of the week are explicitly
mentioned and these verses do form the most important Vedic [Vedanga] astrology [jyotish] text
Jyotish of Atharva Veda. He states that Burgress clearly mentions that according to the Greek
philosopher Herodotus (5th century BCE), the weekdays and the lords of the days were borrowed by
the Greeks from the Egyptians. The Egyptians adopted the weekdays from the Babylonians and the
Babylonians borrowed it from India. Maharshi then goes on to explain the socio-geographic
background of the Babylonians and that they inhabited present day Iraq, Iran and parts of Syria.
Maharshi mentions that he is certain that the weekday names evolved in all languages from Sanskrit,
which is the mother of all world languages. He further goes on to explain the root words relating to
the weekdays and their derivation in various languages all over the world.
Adityavar Sanskrit for this is Sanadivas, the corruption of which in English is Sandai or as we
know it today Sunday. The meaning of the root word San in Sanskrit is one which is obtained by
request or pleading. The Sun is a blessing for all of humanity and thus is a result of our grace and
pleading to the Almighty and as a blessing from Him. Surya, the Sanskrit name for Sun, got
corrupted to Sulia and finally to Suli or Soli. The Aramaic name for Sun is Sulia and the Latin
name for Sun is Dies Soli. The Greeks called the Sun (Solar diety) as Apollo which is a corruption
of the Sanskrit word Atmalok. Although this may sound a little farfetched, a corruption makes
perfect sense when we see the names of the Sun in the languages Pali and Prakrit which were
languages spoken by the common man in India and derived from Sanskrit. Sun is Atma Loka (Atma
meaning Soul and Loka meaning place), thus Sun is the primary significator of the soul. In Pali, the
Sun is called Attolok and in Prakrit, he is called Appolok. Maharshi then goes to explain the origin
of Sun and Sunday in many other languages like French, Russian and German.

Ravana Samhita - II
In AIAC Times Volume 3, I introduced the underlying concept of Ravana Samhita. The principles
based on which the planetary results are deduced in Ravana Samhita were previously discussed in the
earlier issue.
However, recently there has been a lot of controversy over the availability of the book and where
could one get a copy of the book. I have a copy of Ravana Samhita and it is very easily available in
the market.

In this article I will attempt to translate a small portion of the book [Chapter 6] called Arka Prakash
which primarily deals with medical remedies and recipes of medicine.
However, at the very end of this chapter I found a very interesting and astrologically relevant subject.
I want to share it with all the readers of AIAC Times.

Translation: Based on the above mentioned rules (previously mentioned in the book), Arka should be
given to ill. Also, the words of the messenger (from the ill persons home) should be closely noted by
the doctor.
[Ravana then refers to the above table to determine a specific number from the words in the message
of the messenger to the doctor and, in the latter verses, he mentions how to use the table.]

Translation: The translation of the above verses basically boils down to the rules based on which the
above table was constructed.
Ravana also associates the diseases with the numbers below:
Rasa = 6, Bhaya = 3, Hada = 2, Veda = 4, Parvat = 8, Shrit = 6, Krita = 4, Buddhi = 3, Prithvi = 1,

Shunya =0, Chandrama = 1
He mentions that the words of the messenger should be carefully studied and associated with the
Swaras (alphabets).
Translation: Ravana mentions at this time that the doctor should add the numbers of the phrases
from the messengers message and also do the same word to number translation for the patients
name (based on name letters). He should then divide the two distinct sums by 8 and keep a note of
the two remainders (after division by 8). Let us call the remainder from the messengers message to
be R1 (a number) and the remainder obtained from the patients name to be R2 (a number).
If R2 > R1, the patient health will recover.
If R1=R2, the illness will grow.
If R1 > R2, the patient will invariably die.
Ravana mentions that doctors should select a medicine for treatment only after studying this chakra.
Ravana mentions that those doctors who follow this closely will be able to give the correct medicine
to the patients. Ravana further goes on to mention that those doctors who follow this chakra can
even cure nearly dead patients and thereby gain tremendous respect in society.
More on Ravana Samhita in future issues of AIAC Times.

Saturns column
Rohini Sakata Vedha - Mars

In AIAC Times last issue, I gave test cases for Rohini Sakata Vedha by Saturn. In this issue I will
give test cases for RSV by Mars. To read about the introduction to RSV, please read the previous
issue.
Date Event
March-
March-April 1972 Vietnam War (16 April Mars 20 Ta Rohi)
April 12, 1861 US Civil War (Mars 14 Ta 24' 58.31" Rohi)
July 28, 1945 9:40:00 am Empire State Building Crash, New York (Mars 10 Ta 33' 49.67" Rohi)
August 6, 1945 8:15 AM Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombing
August 9, 1945 11:01 AM
The important thing to point out is that Mars makes a full 360 degree transit across the zodiac in 45
days X 12 = 540 days (1.5 years) approx. So, the probability of Mars being at around 17 degrees Taurus
is once every 1.5 years or 2 times in 3 years. However, this cannot be the only condition for a disaster
of magnitude, and thus there are more criteria that need to be fit into this equation of RSV. We will
cover these in future issues of AIAC Times.

Rahus column
Cyril Fagan and Western Sidereal Astrology

This article is influenced by an article written by Kenneth Bowser.
Cyril Fagan was born on May 22, 1869 at around noon in Dublin, Ireland.
Photograph from Bill Sheerans website
Radical Astrology
I personally feel that Cyril should have had a Vargottam Lagna. I have used his birth time as 12:15:30
PM GMT.
Life story in
in short
Fagan suffered from near deafness resulting from scarlet fever. This prevented him from entering
the medical profession, which was his fathers profession. He was educated at Belvedere and
Castlenock Colleges, and took up astrology in 1916 near the close of his formal education. Knowledge
and its pursuit was a driving force in his life. Yet in stark contrast to his studious nature and
insatiable intellectual curiosity, Fagan was a flamboyant personality in speech and dress. He had a
brilliant and unpredictable sense of humor heard by anyone in earshot because he had to shout in
order to hear his own voice in conversation (until good hearing aids were developed), dressed
fashionably well dressed as he could afford, and enjoyed night life. He married an Irish beauty

seventeen years his junior with whom he produced two children. His wife, Pauline, was a woman
from the old school, fiercely devoted to her husband. They were together until his death.
Fagan was a world traveler and acquiring knowledge was the primary inspiration for his tours. He
lived in Wales, London, Morocco, Spain and several places in the United States, travelling
extensively from these base camps du jour, when he could. Fagan was the president and founder of
the Irish Astrological Society, a Fellow of the American Federation of Astrologers, a Fellow of the
Federation of British Astrologers, and a Komandoro of the Universal Order of Antares (Trieste).
Fagan began to publish articles extensively in the 1930's. Fagan believed that for an astrologer to
present his/her work with authority, he/she needed to be competent in history, languages, geography,
mathematics and astronomy, especially the latter because in the ancient world astrology and
astronomy were bound up together. One of these subjects was the astrology of ancient Mesopotamia
and Babylon.
Cuneiform script
Cuneiform script, the earliest known writing system in the world, emerged in the Sumerian
civilization of southern Iraq around the 34th century BCE during the middle Uruk period, and began
as a pictographic system of writing. Cuneiform was the most widespread and historically significant
writing system in the Ancient Near East. The development of cuneiform writing was an evolution of
an earlier Mesopotamian accounting system that had been used for five thousand years before. Clay
tokens had been used for some form of record-keeping in Mesopotamia since as early as 8,000 BC.
The original Sumerian script was adapted for the writing of the Akkadian, Eblaite, Elamite, Hittite,
Luwian, Hattic, Hurrian, and Urartian languages, and it inspired the Ugaritic and Old Persian
alphabets. Cuneiform writing was gradually replaced by the Aramaic alphabet during the Neo-
Assyrian Empire, and by the second century of the Common Era, the script had become extinct.
In 1836, the eminent French scholar, Eugne Burnouf discovered that the first of the inscriptions
published by Niebuhr contained a list of the satrapies of Darius. With this clue in his hand, he
identified and published an alphabet of thirty letters, most of which he had correctly deciphered. In
1835 Henry Rawlinson, a British East India Company army officer, visited the Behistun inscriptions
in Persia. Carved in the reign of King Darius of Persia (522486 BC), these inscriptions consisted of
identical texts in the three official languages of the empire: Old Persian, Babylonian, and Elamite.
The Behistun inscriptions were to the decipherment of cuneiform what the Rosetta Stone was to the
decipherment of Egyptian hieroglyphs. By 1851, Hincks and Rawlinson could read 200 Babylonian
signs. They were soon joined by two other decipherers: young German-born scholar Julius Oppert,
and versatile British Orientalist William Henry Fox Talbot. By late nineteenth century (1857
onwards), the script could be completely deciphered.
When the cuneiform script was deciphered in the nineteenth century, Babylonian
astronomical/astrological materials became available to scholars who laboriously translated and
published them beginning in the 1880's. Early on it was recognized by three German Jesuit scholars,
Joseph Epping (1835-1894), Franz Xaver Kugler (1862-1929) and Johann Nepomuk Strassmaier (1846-
1920), that the longitudes in Babylonian ephemerides were reckoned from stars, not the equinoxes or
solstices. The bulk of the Babylonian astronomical/astrological translations and commentary

appeared in the irregular but massive journal begun by Kugler, "Sternkunde Und Sterndienst In
Babel" (Starlore and Starwork in Babylon) from 1907 until completed in 1935 by Joseph Schaumberger
S.J.
The birth of the western sidereal system

Almost surely Fagan had read at least some of this Babylonian work, but it is not known exactly
when he began to investigate this sort of material. However, his study of it must have been well
underway by the 1940's, because by 1944 he was confident that the entire Babylonian tradition was
sidereal, not simply the Hellenistic period material. He has subsequently been borne out, although
there is not enough evidence extant to tell just when the transition to a twelve-fold equal division
occurred. It is established that during the second millenium B.C., the Babylonians used seventeen
unequal sidereal constellations: the twelve we use now but with Pisces split into two as the eastern
and western fishes, as well as Orion, Auriga, Perseus and the Pleides. The earliest horoscope for an
individual dates only to 410 B.C. It is twelve-fold, sidereal and Babylonian. There are no tropical
horoscopes extant until the first century B.C., and very few of those until the first century of the
Christian Era. Conversely, there were no sidereal astrologers in the West before Fagan's apostasy,
which was compelled by evidence.
When Fagan began to write about sidereal astrology in the late 1940's, he encountered intense,
vituperative reaction from almost the entire astrological community, although a few bright lights
among the English ranks were won over such as Cecil Nixon, Rupert Gleadow and Roy Firebrace.
Since then the sidereal school has been manned mostly by intellectuals in the field who because of
their grasp of the technical arguments, found it easier to commit heresy against the tropical school.
Works of Fagan
Fagan was a researcher and historian and prolific writer for the magazines of his time. His Solunars
feature, based on sidereal astrology, was published regularly by the Clancys in American Astrology
from 1954-1970. His books included Astrological Origins, Zodiacs Old and New, The Fixed Zodiac
Ephemeris, and A Primer of the Sidereal Zodiac, which he coauthored with Brigadeer R.C. Firebrace.
Some of these are available at AstroAmerica.
AIAC salutes this man for digging into the ancient scripts and deciphering the use of sidereal system
in the ancient world as well as writing about it in the West against the tide of the already existent,
strong and profound tropical system.

Ketus column
Lokas II by Surasa
This article is a continuation from Lokas written in the earlier issue of AIAC Times.
For Ketus column this month, we will examine the Lokas. There are fourteen planes, seven lokas
(upper planes) and seven talas (lower planes).
First of all, there is some confusion people might have regarding Lokas and Tattwas. For example:
Mars rules Agni, Mercury rules Prithvi and yet Mars is the ruler of the Bhu loka (Earth). This can be
a source of puzzlement.
On one hand, we can look at the eternal conflict between Mercury and Mars. Mercury rules earth.
Mars rules boundaries and the guards that patrol the boundaries. So Mars cuts up the earth
(Mercury) into pieces of land, countries, states, etc. that people feel the need to possess and fight over.
Mercury wants to unify or put back together what Mars cuts up. So what do we see more of?
On the other hand, when we talk about lokas or planes, we classify them based on the qualities or
attributes of the planets, not the other way around. Also, there is a vertical dimension we must
consider. Mercury rules earth, and the five elements (Pancha Tattwa) as we know them likewise
operate in Bhu loka--this is horizontal. But when we view the lokas, we are looking at a vertical
scheme and the relation of the planets to the lokas is a classification not a rulership.
This explanation may be helpful regarding how the planets get linked with the lokas. We take the
planets in the order of their speed of movement (with respect to the Earth) from fastest to slowest:
Moon, Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn. If we consider the planets to be a string of
beads and break the string between Mars and Jupiter, Mars goes to the lowest loka, Bhu, and Jupiter
to the highest loka, Satya.
Moon Mercury Venus Sun Mars Jupiter Saturn
Jana Mahar Swarga Bhuva Bhu Satwa Tapa
Where does Ketu fit in? Ketu is co-ruler of Scorpio and exalted in Pisces, thus a factor in death or
liberation from the cycle of rebirth and death (moksha). In a Punya Chakra chart cast for the
moment of death, the loka can be determined where the soul ends up. We can find connections
between the lokas to the seven chakras and the lower lokas (talas) to the seven deadly sins.
In the chart below, we see that Ketu fills the gap between Bhuva and Sawrga. This is in accordance
to the theory of Ashtadala Padma (Eight Petaled Lotus), the keystone system for coordinating time

and space. That theory (not discussed here) talks about the upward (vertical) direction of Ketu and
Rahu in relation to the horizontal plane of the earth.
In the known astrological realm, Bhu is the lagna, the span from Bhu to Bhuva loka is comprises the
Rasis, and the span from Bhuva to Swarga comprises the Nakshatras.

The seven talas in descending order below the earth are Atalah, Vitalah, Sutalah, Talatalah,
Mahathalah, Rasatalah and Patalah. Interestingly, there are seven deadly sins in the Christian
tradition: wrath, greed, sloth, pride, lust, envy and gluttony.
In regard to the talas, here is a cautionary tale from the puranas. Essentially, it tells us that we should
not seek to engage the talas worlds as they can come up and take us over in our world. It tells the
story of Vishnus vamana (dwarf) incarnation and King Vali, the able king of the demons who had
taken over the world and heaven. Indra and the gods prayed to Vishnu for deliverance. At the

request of Aditi, the mother of the gods, Vishnu incarnated as her son to take care of Vali. Vishnu as
the dwarf visited Vali during a yajna (sacrificial ceremony) whereupon Vali asked what he could do
for him. Grant me as much of land as can be covered in three of my footsteps, said the dwarf. Vali
happily granted this boon whereupon the dwarf immediately assumed a gigantic form. With one
footstep, Vishnu covered the entire earth. With a second, he covered the sky. And with the third and
final footstep, he covered heaven. Vishnus foot cracked the shell of the universe (the cosmic egg)
causing the water outside poured in. This water began to flow through the sky and became the
heavenly Ganga (which is another story). After having traversed all the land that was available,
Vishnu resumed his form of a dwarf. You have now donated to me all the three worlds, he told
Vali. Where will you stay? I seek refuge with you, was Valis answer. Vishnu then instructed
Vali to go and live in the underworld. As for heaven, it was restored to Indra. Vali became the ruler
of Patala.
Vishnu taking his big steps to restore the

heavens and earth.
