The Solar Transit of Aldebaran, Rohini, starts the Monsoon Season in Kerala !




How correct is the Indian Astro Calendar ! Rohini Njattuvela started today and it is raining here in Guruvayur.

As per our Kerala Calendar, the Solar Transit of Rohini started today. It was raining for the last two hours. Last one hour it was raining cats and dogs. Gone was the blistering heat, gone was the pessimistic mood of the people who were fearing drought. Even Nila, the great Bharatapuzha River, had dried up. Now let us wait for the rains.


What a glorious climate we are having. I am in my office and it is raining outside. We cannot go out without the umbrella till the Solar Transit of Jyeshta or Delta Scopi is over.  For almost seven months, carrying an umbrella is a must ! 




Anti Paganism destroys Kerala



Incidentally, today the GOI gave Malayalam . the status of exalted language, along with Sanskrit, Tamil, Telugu and Kannada. All Keralites are happy today, a glorious day.

At 0500 AM, it was drizzling and it continued for 15 minutes. For the first time this season, I had to open my umbrella, when I got out of my flat at 0700 sharp.  Now it is drizzling in Gvr. But we feels that the rains are not enough, scared as we are about another drought.

There are reasons for such alarm and despondency. While Nature based Religions highlighted Nature as Saguna Brahman, the Anti Paganists ignore Nature and say the Creator is greater than the created ! The earth and nature based philosophical systems insist on planting trees, making the earth green and preserving our water reservoirs. Many water reservoirs have been destroyed and concrete structures are coming up in their place, in minority ruled Kerala.  Deforestation or felling of trees are taking place. Evapo Transpiration helps the Water Cycle. If all water reservoirs are destroyed and if all trees are felled, it can devastate Nature !


We hope sanity will prevail. We may be classified with the Greens, when we make this statement. Hence destroying Nature and then crying we have no rains is not common sense ! That is what many people are doing, even in enlightened Kerala. Enlightened by Marxism and Anti Paganism !


With the result, we have to pray for rains every day, like Anaxagoras !

Bharani Njattuvela brings hopes of rains !


Bharani Njattuvela, the Solar Transit of 41 Arietis started on 27th and it rained that day here. Also yesterday !

These solar periods or Njattuvelas are the transits of the Sun !

While Bharani Njattuvela brings hope
Karthika brings cheer
Rohini supplements both
Fiercely rains come down in Mrigasira
It rains nectar during Aridra
Fierce but intermittent in Punarvasu
And heavy rains in Pushya !

In Varsha Prashna, Puliyoor says
 
Jala Rasi Sthitahu Manda Rahu
Na Sthassu Vrishtidau
 
Rains will not be there, if Saturn and Rahu are in a Jala Rasi. But then Libra is not a Jala Rasi as such, but is ruled by Venus, a watery planet !
 
But the next verse holds hope
 
Shukrendu Drishtau yadi thau
Maha Vrishti Pradayakau
 
( Prashna Anushtana Paddhathi )
 
If aspected by Moon or Venus
There will be plenty of rains
 
Now Venus casts his aspect on Libra. And after May 31, Jupiter will be in sidereal Gemini, casting his benign aspect on Libra !

May there be plenty of rains !

Time called Thee from Thy Slumber !


In  Vedanta, Mahat has been defined as Cosmic Intelligence by the translators of  Narayaneeyam.
 
 
The great poet Melpathur defined Him as
 
O Thou with and without Maya
Art known as Witness Consciousness
And the Eternal Triad in Mind Universal
Universe, Ego, Supreme Relative
Reflecting as they are in the Universal Mind
Are Thy grand projections !
Time called Thee from Thy Slumber
Thy Slumber of Cosmological Cycles
Thy Cosmic Intelligence is Mahat Tathva !
 
 
Maya Sannihitho Pravishta Vapusha
Saksheethi Geetho Bhavan
Bhedaisthvam Prathibimbitho Vivisivan
Jeevepi Naiva para
Kalatma pradhibodhitha cha vigatha
Sanchothida cha Swayam
Maya sa khaldu buddhi tatvam asruja
Dyosau Mahan uchyathe

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.

Dina Dwadasamso Matha Kala Hora
Pathi Thasya Poorvasya Varadhinadha
Thadha Shashta Shashta Kramena Tharesam
Nishyayam thu vareshwarad Panchamadya.

Here is a table depicting the Weekday Numbers and Planetary Hour Numbers

5 JUPITER 6
6 VENUS 2

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 !
