The Lords of Kala Hora

The names of the Week Days are derived from where ?
Why Monday is after Sunday?
Why Tuesday is after Monday ?

The answer is given by Astrology as Planetary Hours or Kala Horas. If you
have any other explantion - from Astronomy or any other scienc - pls let us
know

Question - How did Monday come after Sunday in the Calender ?

Answer - To answer this question, we have to go to the concept of Planetary
Hours or Kala Horas

The Planetary Hours are counted from Sunrise and the owner of the Planetary
is the Lord of the Weekday. Today is Sunday and one hour from Sunrise is
presided by the lord of Sunday, the Sun.

The sequential order of Planetary Hours is as follows.

Sun
Venus
Mercury
Moon
Saturn
Jupiter
Mars

( Arka Shukra Budhas Chandra Manda Jeeva Dharasutha, Kramena Kala
Horesa.... )

So if the first Planetary Hour on Sunday is presided by the Sun, the next
hour is presided by Venus, next by Mercury and so on. This goes on for 21
hours and the 22nd Planetary Hour is presided by Sun, the 23rd by Venus, the
24th by Mercury and the 25th, the first Planetary Hour next day, is presided
by the Moon and hence his day, Monday, became the next week day in the
Calender.

We have these basic equations

Sunset - Sunrise = Duration of Day, Dinamana
Sunrise (next day ) - Sunset = Duration of Night, Ratrimana

The diurnal duration is divided by 12 to get Planetary Hours. The diurnal
duration will vary, as Day = Night = 12 Hours occurs only on Equinox days.
Similarly the nocturnal duration is divided by 12.

The Scientia Intuitiva, the Intuitive Sciences !

We will define the Intuitive Sciences.

The Single Eye on the U S One Dollar Bill symbolises the All Seeing Eye of Providence or the Eye of Horus or the Third Eye of Hinduism.

What is Intuition, by the way ? Intuition is defined as the Eye of Wisdom !

So what do we mean by the Intuitive sciences ? The Sciences of Wisdom or the Philosophic Sciences. Scientia Intuitiva est Scientia Prima - The First Science was the Science Intuitive.

Seers point out that Intuition alone can see Reality! Aurobindo averred ' Behind the phenomenal world is the Transcendent Reality, which Intuition alone can see"

"The first aspect of Cosmic Existence is an infinite, which is to our perception and Indeterminate. In this infinite, the Universe, whether in its aspect of structure or in its aspect of Energy, appears as an indeterminate determination, a boundless finite ( Einstein called the Universe Finite Unbounded ), paradoxical, but necessary expressions which seems to tell us that we are dealing with a Supra-rational Mystery as the base of all things ".

"Sankara, caught in between the phenomenal world and the Ultimate Transcendent Reality, comes to the conclusion, that as the Supracosmic Transcendence is supra-rational, realisable only through intuitive experience, so too the mystery of the Universe must ultimately be supra-rational" !

Mark his words. Realisable only through intuitive experience.

Absolute Reality or Absolute Being cannot be seen by the two physical eyes, but only by the Third Eye of Intuition !

The Lord tells Arjuna the same thing, only through the Third Eye cant thou see Me !

Evam Roopa Shakyam Aham Nriloke
Drushtum Thadanyena Kuru Praveera

So the Seers, who knew that Self Actualisation is the summum bonum of Life, gave more priority to Intuitive Sciences than the Physical Sciences. Many mystical sciences were developed by them, Yoga Shaastra, Vedanta Shaastra, Nyaya Shaastra, Jyothis Shaastra etc.

Those who see only with physical eyes believe in the Six Day Creationism and the Big Bang Theory and believe that the Universe came out of Nothing, a Creation Ex Nihilo. They think they are " physical scientists" . Alas, how far are they from Absolute Truth !

I sit in Guruvayur, the fourth largest pilgrim center in the world ( after Vatican, Mecca and Tirupathi ) and it is my divine duty to defend Scientia Intuitiva !

Of Koopa Prasna, the Horary of Well digging !

I created the Four Classes, saith the Lord !

The International Astronomical Union had not used Sanskrit names. From Beta Arietis to Zeta Piscium.

This is news to me. Chaturvarnya amongst elephants.

Chaturvarnya is a much misunderstood concept. It is according to qualities and profession and not according to birth.

Chathurvarnyam Maya Shrishtam

Guna Karma Vibhagasha

Thasya Kartharam api maam

Vidhyakartharam Avyayam

I created the Four Noble Professions

Based on qualities and Profession

I am the Creator of the Four

I am also the Non Creator

I am transcendental !

We find there are Four types of Professions

The Intellectual Class, the Brahmin

The Warror Class, Police and Military, Kshatriyas

The Business Class, Vaishya

And the Service Class, Shudras

Pardon this digression. The whole of Kerala is in a holiday, festive mood !

Now you can watch Trichur Pooram Live at http://www.keralaheritages.com
The constellation of Delta Leonis is known as Pubba or Pooram, one of the 27
constellations which tenant the Ecliptic. There are more than one million
temples in Kerala. Several temple festivals occur on the Lunar Asterism of
their inception.

The famous Trichur Pooram occurs on the Pubba day of Mesha or Delta Leonis
in the sidereal month of Aries. More than 500,000 people witness this
Festival of all Festivals. It is of 36 hours duration and it is one of the
most beautiful sights in the world, according to UNESCO.

More than 50 caparisoned elephants pass through the center of Trichur Town ,
the Lord Shiva Temple.

Earlier the Pooram was at Arattupuzha and it so happened that the Chief of
Peruvanam Gramam denied entry to the temples of Trichur. This enraged the
Naduvazhis of Trichur and the then ruler, Shaktan Tampuran, integrated all
the ten temples around the central Lord Shiva Temple, Vadakkunnathan (
situated at a hillock ) and created this Grand Pooram. Tampuran created
two Groups, the Eastern and the Western. The Eastern group was called as
Paramekkavu, consisting in addition to Paramekkavu temple, Karamukku,
Chembukavu, Choorakottukavu and Panamukkamppilly. The Western group was
Thiruvambady consisting of Kanimangalam, Laloor, Ayyanthole, Nethilakkavu
and the Thiruvambady temple.

This Pooram is centered around the Lord Shiva temple at the Center, as all
the ten deities pay obeisance to the Shiva, the central presiding deity.
Shaktan Tampuran chalked out the program and the main events of this
Glorious Festival. In Kudamattom, that is changing of colored umbrellas this
year, techonology was used. LED umbrellas were used and it was a glorious
sight at seven pm. 15 caparisoned elephants of the Eastern Group faced the
15 elephants of the Western Group.

In defence of Astrology !

Another Sir Philip Sydney stuff with the pen.

Our defence consists of the following points

1) Yavanas are not the Greeks, as misunderstood by Western scholars. They are an Indic tribe.

2) Physicalists and Literalists cannot understand the inner essence of the mystical sciences. ( Astrology is never physical, but mystical ).

3) We have seen literalists give literal interpretations, according to their whims and fancies. According to Esoteric Wisdom, Rama and Ravana were mythological characters. Rama is the Emblem of the Almighty Self and Ravana, the Emblem of Ego.

4) Everybody knows that Gregory added 10 days to the Julian Calender. There is no proof that Varaha did the same ( deducting 23 days ) to the Hindu Calender. That sloka is too vague.

5) The date when Gregory did that is 14-10-1582. No date has been given for the " Varahian Jump"  !

6) Astrology is a mystical science, based on Grace. There is nothing reprehensible in adopting Astrology as a profession. It continues to be one of the noblest professions and one of the greatest sciences which human intellect has built up.

8) The algorithms for computing planetary longitudes were first given by the Indian mathematicians, Aryabhata, Brahmagupta et al. Aryabhato Griha Ganitham.

9) The great intuitive sciences of Indian Philosophy are all mystical and their inner essence can only be understood by mystics ( " Wordly Intelligence seeks this Sanctuary in vain. All is undecipherable to the unprepared. He can see nothing, he can read nothing in its interior" ).

10)BG is an esoteric Scripture. The idea is not that a physical Krisha tells a physical Arjuna. They are the direct instructions of the Absolute, Almighty Self ( Krishna ), to the discriminative intellect  (Arjuna) !

11) MBh is another Epic with mystic meaning. There are five positive elements in Man, Truth, Dharma, Peace, Love and Prajna, the discriminative intellect, symbolised by the five Pandavas. The forces of the Kauravas are symbols of Lust, greed, anger, jealousy, avarice, pride and gluttony, the Seven Deadly Sins in the human mind. Duryodhana symbolises Kama, the lust which binds to the sublunar world. Dusshana is Krodha, anger, which is the greatest enemy of man.

Arjuna is the Prajna, the discriminative intellect, fighting with the background of Eternity. In each man, there is a fierce conflict going on between good and evil, where the great struggle for supremacy, between the Spirit and the flesh, is fought out on the ground floor of our existence, between the black and white forces of virtue and vice, light and darkness, prosperity and adversity !

In the great war which is happening in the human bosom, which the great poets of yore, represented as the Iliad and the Odyssey, the Ramayana and the Mahabharata, the daivic forces are the positive elements in the human mind and the Asuric forces, the negative.

Only after the negative forces are destroyed, the asuric forces in the human mind, can we get Self Actualisation. For that we need the help of the Almighty Self ( Krishna ) !

Nice day to talk about Esoteric Wisdom. The day when the Sun just entered Sidereal Aries !

Here the defence rests !

The 18 sciences are mystical, not physical !

Astrology is one of the 18 mystical sciences of the Philosophia Perennis. They are not physical, but mystical. We talked about Yoga and Vedanta, are they physical ? 

Physical astronomers and half Professors cannot understand Universal Mysticism. Physicalists are literalists, they think only the Physical Universe is real. It is not their fault, as they believe Esse Est Percii, only their perceptions. Some of them believe in Creationism, the Six Day Creation Theory and some of them in the Big Bang Theory ! How can Everything come out of Nothing ? Creation ex Nihilo ? 

See, none of the mystics talked about anything physical.

Jesus never spoke about the physical Jerusalem. Look at his statement

"The Kingdom of Heaven is within you and whomsoever shall know himself shall find it"  Know Thyself and find It.

He was a Yogi. He declared Ego sum Alpha et Omega, I am the Alpha and the Omega. He was saying Aham Brahmasmi in another language.

So was Prophet Mohammed. He declared " Anal Huq " . In Arabic Ana means me Al means The and Huq means Truth. He was also declaring Aham Brahmsami in another language. He was a Sufi, a Yogi.

Look at his statement. Take the mystical meaning and not the physical meaning

"The Shariat is my body, the Tariqat my actions and Haqiqat my states".

The mystical meanings are known only to the Yogi, to the Sufi, to the Gnostic, to the Kabalist, to the Zen Master. Do not go by exoteric meaning, go by the esoteric !

What does Bhagavan say?

Sarvasya cha Aham Hridi Sannivishto

Matha Smrithi Jnanam apohanam cha

Sarvescha Vedair   Aham eva   Vedyo

Vedanta krityeva mitheha chaham

I am seated deep

In everybody's heart !

I am He whom the Vedas seek to know

I am the revealer of the Vedanta !

He is in the hearts of all, not in the physical Mecca or the physical Jerusalem !
