Why Philosopher - Statesmen?

Why Philosopher - Statesmen?

"Unless philosophers become kings and kings take to the power and spirit of Philosophy, unless Wisdom and political leadership meet in one man - cities shall never cease from ill nor the human race - Plato, Republic.

Because Philosopher - Statesmen are instruments of the Zeit-Geist, of the Kala Purusha, whose actions are in conformity with Universal Will.

Jove moves over to Virgo today, 11/08/2016.
http://www.eastrovedica.com/html/transitjupiter.htm

The exiting Pushya Solar Transit had unleashed  Typhoon Nida ! The Sun's longitude touched 106 deg 40 minutes on 02082016 , initiating Aslesha  Njattuvela. There will be intermittent rains during Aslesha.

Sun moved over to 90 degrees, Cancer, initiating the Sacred Ramayana Masa on 16/07/2016  and Southern Solstice,  Dakshinayana  at 1015 AM. This Holy Period is good for detoxification and for Self Actualisation ! ( Detox of both body and mind is a must for SA ). Jupiter, the make or break planet, moves over, from Leo to Virgo, on Aug 11th in Hindu Astrology.

Daskhinayana - when Sun's longitude is in between 90 and 270.
Uttarayana - when Sun's longitude is in between 270 and 90.

When the Sun's Zodiacal longitude touched 26 degrees 40 minutes ( Karthika Njattuvela ) , pre monsoon showers started in Kerala. When it touched 45 degrees ( Edava Pathi ), rains intensified and when it touched 53 degrees 20 minutes( Makeeryam Njattuvela ), rains became pronounced ( Makeeryam Mathi marannu peyyum ). Rains stabilised when Soorya Sphuta reached 66 deg 40 minutes ( the famous Thiruvathira Njattuvela), proving Astro Meteorology true.

Sun entered 80 degrees ( Punarvasu Njattuvela ) and immediately unleashed Typhoon Nepartak ! While scientists explain hurricanes as the result of variations in temperature and pressure, we know it as the variations in the positions of the luminaries, Sun and Moon. Sun enters 93 degrees 20 minutes, the Saturnine Pushya constellation on 19th, at 1007 PM.

The Sun causeth the Four Seasons of the West and the Six Seasons of India, Rithu Kartha Prabhakarah ! Also the New Moon and the Full Moon days figure prominently in Hindu Astro Meteorology, as the combined gravitational pulls of these celestial bodies can cause high tides ( Hurricanes Sandy, Erika, Hagupit )!

Typhoon Hayan occurred on the First Quarter Moon ( when Moon squares the Sun ). Prof Yaukey averred ( based on the data observed on the Atlantic Ocean from 1950 - 2007 ) that storms are more likely to form after a New Moon and that storms infensified after a New Moon in the 29.5 days of a lunar month ! Scientists warned that Hurricane Irene can be more dangerous on New Moon Day !

Beware of the Sun's transits of the 'monsoon constellations', called the fierce Njattuvelas.

Mrigasira ( Hurricane Christina, Kedarnath Floods )
Aridra ( Hurricanes Bonnie, Alex, Arthur. Fengshen, Guj Floods, Matmo )
Punarvasu ( Hurricanes Dennis, Blanca, Toronto Floods, Alaskan Mega Tsunami, Nangka, Halong )
Pushya ( Hurricanes Genevieve. Dolly, Pak Floods, Mumbai Floods )
Aslesha ( Typhoons Hanna, Utor, Goni, Saola, Damrey )
Magha ( Hurricanes Isaac, Andrew, Irene, Katrina, Omar, Erika )
Pooram ( Hurricanes Elena, Ike, Tidal Bore, Fran, Etau )
Uthara ( Hurricanes Igor, Odile, Vipa, 1938 Hurricane )
Hasta ( Hurricanes Opal, Jelawat, Lili, Jangmi )
Chithra ( Typhoons Vongfong, Sandy, Wilma )
Swathi ( Typhoon Fransisco, Rosing )
Vishakha ( Typhoons Haiyan, Sidr, Chennai Floods, Agnes, Lupit, Nida )
Anuradha ( Typhoons Yuri, Kate )
Jyeshta ( Lake Isabella Floods, Nona, Hagupit )
Moola ( Typhoon Sendong, Indian Tsunami )

Rain fall can be expected in India, particularly Kerala, from Karthika ( Pleiades or " Rainy Stars" Njattuvela ( May 11 ) to Moola Njattuvela ( Dec 29 ). We find Nature unleashing her fury when the Sun's Sidereal Zodiacal Longitude is in between 53 and 253 ! It may be a coincidence that the Galactic Center at Moola and the Anti Galactic Center at Mrigasira play a great role in Weather Forecasting !

Vaishakha, a Holy Month for the Eternians.

On 07 May 2016, we have the second lunar month of Vaishakha, which is considered a Holy Month for the Eternians. Like the Vrischika Punya Masa, the month of Sidereal Scorpio, Vaishakha is full of esoteric significance. Vaishakha is the Lunar Month, when the Solar Ingress into Scorpio takes place, Vaishakhe Vrisha Sankranti. Guruvayur, the fourth largest pilgrim center in the world, becomes full of pilgrims.

The Baisakhi Festival, the beginning of the Punjabi Calendar bears close resemblance to Vaisakha. Also the Vaikaasi, the second lunar month in the Tamil Calendar. It is called Pohela Boisakh in Bengal and Bohag Bihu in Assam.

Effects of Fadic Number Eight

In higher states of Consciousness, many scientific and philosophic truths
were cognised by the sages of India. They wrote it down and these came to be
known as the Vedas. Sciences like Astronomy, Mathematics, Astrology,
Numerology, Gemology -- have their origin in this Encyclopaedia of the
Philosophic Sciences, the Vedas. By Vedas no books are meant. They are the
celestial truths cognised by Seers and which can be cognised by anyone who
cultivate the same spiritual discipline.


Effects of Fadic Number Eight

If the Eigthian is YOU!


( Fadic Number is the number got after adding all the digits comprising your
date of birth ).


Your psychic Numerological Number is 8 and your Life Controller is Saturn.
People misunderstand them and because of that they suffer mentally and
become loners. They are people with great individuality and depth in
learning. If religious they will take to Religion in a great manner. In
order to win arguments they destroy the opposition verbally and create a lot
of secret enemies.


They have great sympathy for the oppressed and show a lot of laziness and
lack of enthusiasm. They are extremists; that is they are either very
successful or great failures. There is no middle course for them. These
people always aspire for greatness, strive for leadership and sacrifice
their personal comforts to maintain the high posts earned by them as a
result of their laborious endeavors. Anyway 8 is not a lucky number; they
will have to bear great ills, losses and humiliations.The ancient Greeks
called this number the Number of Justice.

Five Goals of Life

Drought in India is created by Secularists

We reiterate that the potential drought in India is created by Secularists
influenced by Anti Paganism.

By destroying trees and water reservoirs,they see to that evapo -
transpiration does not take place in the Water Cycle and the land becomes
parched !

While the First Science ( Vedanta Sastra ) reveres Jagat, Jiva and Para (
Universal Nature, individual souls and the Supreme ), the anti paganists
revered only a jealous God sitting in the clouds ! They believe that Man is
a sinner and Prakriti or Nature is something to be exploited for commercial
purposes !

While Paganism extolled everything as sacred and divine ( Sarvam Khalu idam
Brahma ), Anti Paganism throned Him in Heaven.

While Paganism averrs that Heaven and Hell are only states of Mind, Anti
Paganism declare that they are concrete realities.

No wonder Russell said " All dogmas belong to Theology' !

In Kerala, the anti paganists are not bothered about the environment. They want to destroy Nature and bring Aranmula Airport and a hydro electric project in Athirappilly. Will they not get 10% ?

It is time the Eternians awoke to the threat of Anti Paganism !

Water Conservation Technologies

Heat has gone upto 39.8 degrees here in Kerala. It is more in TN and other sites.

We had warned in our columns about Water Management flaws. Now  many parts of India are facing drought.

Kala Varsha will set in when the longitude of the Sun touches 45 degrees and not before. Today it is the 12th Rising ( Sun at 12 degrees in the 360 degrees Zodiac ).

If we dont formulate a Water Policy, especially for protecting the paddy fields ( which act as Nature's water reservoirs ), we are doomed. By 2050, India may run out of water, due to the burgeoning population ! Unless stringent measures are brought in to control population and destruction of water reservoirs, trees and plants, conservation of forests et al, India will have to face the Music !

It is the difference in Philosophy which is responsible for this impasse. While Hindu Philosophy advocates Conservation of water reservoirs, forest lands and Prakriti in general, the anti paganists revere only the Creator and not Nature, which they say is Created !

Philosophy advocates reverence of both Purusha and Prakriti, while dogmatic theologies revere only the Creator !

So the Secularists, due to the influence of Anti Paganism, are responsible for India's present plight.

The UN had warned about depleting water resouces, population explosion and declining water tables earlier !

Day of Tenth Rising of the Sun

Today is a Sacred day, the Day of Tenth Rising of the Sun, wherein the Eternians worship the Lord as the Exoteric Symbol of the Esoteric Absolute Self, as Soorya Narayana !

Graharsha tara chakrascha
Paramanvadina Jagath
Samvatsaravasanena
Paryethya Nimisho Vishu !

May the Sun shower His blessings on us all !

Some Vishu songs, on the eve of Vishu !

Some Vishu songs, on the eve of Vishu !

The word Vishu derives from Vishu Vat Vritta, the Celesial Equator in Hindu Astronomy, which aligns with the Kranti Vritta or Ecliptic tomorrow, making Sun's declination Zero Degree and his gross RA, 0 Degree !

Movement of the Cosmos !

I had put this Song before, but it was a girl singing in a TV show and hence
not with original scenes. Lakshmi and Ambareesh here as actors and the great
voices of Yesudas and S Janaki. Another Mal classic ! It also brings into
prominence the genius of Sreekumaran Thampy ! Did not Einstein say that
every man is a genius ?

Happy Thiruvathira !

The Thiruvathira Festival

The asterism Aridra or Thiruvathira ( Alpha Orionis ) coincides with Full Moon and we have the Festival Of Thiruvathira in Dhanus ( sidereal Sagittarius ), hailed by some as the Birth Day of the Lord ! ( Today, 25 December, Moon in Aridra opposes the Sun in sidereal Sagittarius ).

Thiruvathira is celebrated in Kerala and T N. In T N, the day is known as Ardra Darshan.

Hindu Secularism and Socialism !

The PM's visit to Trichur marked the Rise of the Third Front in Kerala.

The Pooram ground became a virtual sea of people. The PM spoke for almost one hour. Once the ceremony was over, it rained heavily for one hour.

Now Pseudo Secularism will be replaced by Hindu Secularism. India is secular, because 72% are believers in Hindu Secularism. If 72% belonged to an evangelist, proselytising community, India wont be secular. Secularism is an Upanishadic concept, as we look on all as brothers and sisters, irrespective of caste, creed or religion ( Vasudha eva Kudumbakam )  !

Pseudo Socialism will be replaced by Hindu Socialism. The majority community in India have compassion for the have nots and the Nationalist Govt has announced many schemes for the downtrodden.

Chathopadyaya's book " The Marxist Brahman" is worth reading ! It integrates Marxism and Vedanta ! Socialism is also an Indian concept, as the Rishies declared  that "Annam Brahma"  or "Padartham Brahma", Matter is Brahman and that the materialistic life is not to be shunned. Doesnt the Upanishadic equation, Samathvam Yoga Uchyathe ( or Samam Brahma ) smack of Socialism ?

Aurobindo integrated both Dialectial Materialism of Marx and the Dialectical Idealism of Hegel and formulated Dialectical Integralism !

I reached Pooram ground at 0330 PM and left when the PM's speech concluded. A good experience !

Happy Tiv's Day

G4marry.com

We started www.g4marry.com, as we felt that an astro matrimonial site can do better service than a non astro one.

We differentiate horoscopes into 3 categories

C - Chova ( Mars in the 7th or 8th )
S - Shuddha
M - Madhya with some slight affliction.

We send Chova horoscopes to Chova people, Shuddha to Shuddha 

The Symbolism of Lord Parjanya

What is the symbolism of Lord Parjanya ? He is the Twelfth Sun, amongst the Dwadasa Adityas, mythologically the sons of Aditi, the Heavenly Mother.

The Sun in Mesha is Vidhatha and the Sun in Pisces is Parjanya.It should be noted that when He transited Meena, precipitaton occurred. It started raining here from March onwards !

The Four Seasons of Western Astronomy are created by Him, Sol or Ravi. He also creates the Six Seasons, the Six Rithus, that is His passage through the Twelve Major Signs creates the Seasons ! The lunar months of Chaitra and Vaishakha constitute the First Rithu, the First Indian Season, Vasantha. He also creates the Twenty Seven Njattuvelas !

His passage through the 27 constellations, the 27 Jnattuvelas,, causes Rainfall and vegetation, from which cometh food, Adityath Jayathe Vrishti / Vrishter Annam Thada Praja.

468 deaths have been reported due to Sunstroke. 302 of them in the Andhra Telegana Region.102 in the last 24 hours. Effects due to El Nino, they say. 2015 has been declared as the Year of the Christ Child.

In such adverse circumstances, we need Lord Parjanya's help. May He make the Njattuvelas rain heavily, not only on the 825 km long Malabar Coast, but other places as well !

Maxwell pulls Kangaroos to victory

Great batting by Glenn Maxwell and co saw Aussies score 376. SL started well, with a century by Sangakara, but could only muster 312. 

Aussies' formidable batting line up, displayed its wonders today, as they amassed 376 off the hapless Sri Lankans. A blistering 102 off 53 balls by Maxwell and half centuries by Clarke, Smith and Watson saw them amass 376, pushing the match away from SL.

Despite Sanga's spirited 100 ( his third consecutive 100 ), SL could not make it. Dilshan's 62 and Chandimal's 62 went in vain !

A great match, with both sides scoring over 300 and the better side winning !

Strategies for India !

Gayle and Bram Villiers are impact batsmen, who can change the complexion of the game.

In one WC match, Pat Symcox, the offspinner bowled the first over to Gayle. The ball pitched on the middle stump, turned and took the edge of the bat and went to slips. Gayle out for a blob ! That is how the South Africans took Gayle !

We advocate the same method. Let Ashwin bowl the first over to Gayle . The ideal combination, off spinner to left hander !

Hope Ind beat WI on 6th.

Regarding Bram Villiers, his Achilles heel is getting himself run out. Just tighten the fielding when he comes.

Another impact player is Shahid Afridi. He can be a huge threat to any side. He is vulnerable in the initial stages. He has a habit of trying to hit the first ball for six. Highly praiseworthy, but risky. So tempt him with spin !

Astronomy of Ancient India

Early Indian Astronomy

The practices of astronomy and astrology in ancient India had their roots almost four thousand years ago. Much of what we know about Indian astronomy comes from the Sanskrit sacred books called the Vedas. These religious texts were a series of hymns composed over several hundred years, and offer intriguing insights into the way Indians of the time viewed the sky. As in most ancient cultures, events in the heavens were believed to have direct effects on people. The practice of astrology, of divining a person's future based on physical phenomena, was a driving force in the advancement of astronomy as a science.
In the Veda texts, the gods were called Devas, which means 'bright' and refers to the luminous nature of the sun and stars. The Sun, comets, the sky, dawn, and the horizon were all deified based on their attributes. To the ancient Indians, the horizon held an immense amount of mystique: it was there that the question 'Will the sun rise again?' was answered every day. A beautiful verse from a Veda mentioning the Indian affinity for dawn says:

'Thou art a blessing when thou art near
Raise up wealth to the worshipper, thou mighty Dawn
Shine for us with thy best rays, thou bright Dawn
Thou daughter of the sky, thou high-born Dawn.'

The earliest Veda text mentioning astronomy is called the Rig Veda, and was written around 2000 B.C. At that time, the earth was considered to be a shell supported by elephants, which represented strength, and were themselves supported by a tortoise, representing infinite slowness.


Indian Astronomy in the First Millenium

As time progressed, Indian astronomy became more scientific and less spiritual. Beginning in the first century, it seems clear that Indian astronomers recognized that the stars are the same as the Sun, only farther away. Verses mention that the night sky is full of suns, and that when our Sun goes below the horizon, a thousand suns take its place. This is an incredible scientific leap in thought. The Earth was at this time considered to be spherical, and various astronomers attempted to measure its circumference. Interestingly enough, the Sun was widely believed to be the center of the universe, an idea which pre-dates western science (with the exception of a few Greek believers) by about 1100 years. However, this idea may be much older: vague references to the sun being in the center of the universe exist in Vedic writings from as early as 3000 B.C.

In the 5th century, a great Indian astronomer and mathematician named Aryabhatta advanced this heliocentric theory and also discussed his idea that the Sun is the source of moonlight. He also studied how to forecast eclipses (see photo below). His books and others were translated into Latin in the 13th century, and profoundly influenced European mathematicians and astronomers.

Several Indian scientists of the 6th century also were the first to advance the idea of gravity. They noticed that a special force keeps objects stuck to the earth, and hypothesized that the same force might be responsible for holding heavenly bodies in their place. The idea pre-dates Newton's conception of gravity by about 1100 years.

Chyuthi Samskaram

Chyuthi is Orbital Eccentricity. If the motion of the planet is circular, there wont be any eccentricity. As it is elliptical, eccentricty has to be computed. Its values range from 0 to 1 at Ellipse, 0 at Circle and 1 at Parabola ! Chyuthi Samskaram

 in Indian Astronomy means to compute the eccentricity of the planet and reduce the Mean Longitude of the Planet to its Heliocentric Longitude ( Vikshepa Vritteeya Manda Sphuta ).

Happy Siva Ratri !

Happy Siva Ratri !

The Night of Siva occurs when the Moon is in between 156 and 168 degrees from the Sun ( Chaturdasi) in the lunar month of Maagha, in the Waning Moon Fortnight ( Krishna Paksha ).

This is a very sacred day for the Eternians.

The FIducial Star !

The Fiducial Star of Hindu Astronomy. It is line with the Galactic Center, the Vishnu Nabhi.

It lies in Sagittarius. To the Eternians, Sagittarius or Dhanus month is very sacred because at Sunrise, when one prays facing the East and the Rising Sun, they are praying facing Vaikuntam or Heaven !

How Old is the Vedic Civilization?

Using Astronomy and Maths, we have computed the Age of the Vedic Civilization at 5567 years

The Fiducial Star, Moola

Lambda Scorpi was called Moola by the Indian astronomers. Moola stands for Moola Adhaar, the Base, the Root. The Rishies meant that this Star is the Base of the Zodiac, its Root !

There are reasons for this

Moola is in line with the Galactic Center, Sagittarius A*.

At that time, Moola was the First Star and Jyeshta was the last.

The Arabs called it Shaula, the Scorpion's Tail.

We feel that ISRO should provide more photos of the 27 constellations of the Indian Zodiac.
