Introduction
aau vasava ekdaa rudr, dvdadity, te ekatriat indra caiva prajpati ca trayastriv iti.
Vedic religion has thirty three devatas dwadash aditya, ashta vasu, ekadas rudra, Indra and
Prajapati.
katame rudr iti. daeme purue prana tmaikdaa; te yadsmt arrn martyd utkrmanti, atha rodayanti, tad yad
rodayanti, tasmd rudr iti.
The eleven Rudras are the five gyanendriyas, five karmendriyas and the Atma. When they cease of
function or leave the human body, they cause the person to cry (Rodan is crying and hence the name
Rudra).
Shiva evolved as a God of destruction or re-organization in the Sanatan Dharma during the Gupta
era (280-550 CE) and was closely associated with Rudra. He was called the auspicious one and thus
was linked to Soul or Atma.
Rudra was given a Trident to achieve his goal of separating the soul from the body. This trident was
called Tri-shoola since it had a base and three sharp tips with which Rudra caused death and
destruction.
Vedic Astrology uses this concept in making some of the most remarkable predictions about death
and destruction.
The Theory
In this paper I would use two theories of Vedic Astrology.
a) Tri-Shoola
b) Sarvatobhadra Chakra
Readers who are not familiar with these concepts can go over books on Vedic astrology on the above
concepts.
