Thou, Eternal Witness !

Bridal Mysticism needs no proof
As if Ultimate Verity needs proof!
Without Consciousness I cannot exist
Without Self, how can I exist ?

It is Thou who inspirest
Who is the illuminator
The inner Director
Without thy directions
I would have gone astray !
But in Thy mercy
Thou hast ordained well !
Seeing that I move not
To the wrong path !
Thou, who art the Eternal Witness
Everlasting, eternal,
Emotionless, lord of all,
Existing as Pure Witness
With and without Maya
The eternal Triad being
Thy holographic projections !

Chatayam Njattuvela !

In Kerala, the hot season has begun. The sidereal month of Aquarius or Kumbha started on 13th Feb and Kerala is about to reel under a heat wave. Last year the death from sunstrokes was > 100 !

On 19th, Chathayam or Sathabhisha Njattuvela started and so we are ready for a hot phase. Kumbha Choodu and Meena Choodu are famous, as the earth becomes scorched due to lack of rains.

Some summer rains can come, but they cannot sustain ! Till Edava Pathi or the Half of Taurus, we cannot expect major rains ! So a very hot season indicated till Vrishabha or Taurus !

The Unfortunate Four !

The number Four is unfortunate like the Number Eight. Since Four is the half of Eight, it is only natural.

Those who are having Four as their Birth Number find problems all the time. Some sort of unluck plagues them like an old, resident family specter !

Kerala Tourism to net more than 24 K cr this year !

This year, Kerala Tourism, will net in more than 24000 crores. Responsible Tourism, the Government calls it.

Much investment is needed in infrastructure, if India is to make it up to the level of advanced countries. As such, the 6.4% growth of Indian Tourism and the 8% growth of Kerala Tourism seems to be average.

Paper tigers !

The adverse positions of Jupiter and Saturn have done India in. Now it will take time for Indian cricket to redeem itself !

Tigers at home and kittens abroad 

Indian under a torrid phase !

With Jupiter in the 12th and Saturn in the 4th, India is going through a horrific phase.

The elections round the corner is not good, either. After spending crores of rupees, we may get a hung Parliament, as the electorate may give a fractured verdict !

Now Poll stats state that

Non UPA and non NDA parties will get 42%
NDA will get 36%
UPA will get 22%

Decline in votes does not mean that UPA is out. They can form a Government with the non NDA forces !

The Modi wave may happen. In India, the best liked doctrine is Hinduism. Then only comes Marxism and Secularism. So with Hinduism booming, Modi may very well ascend the throne !

Jupiter's effect will be felt from Apr 19th onwards, as He gives His effects two months before, dwimasau gurau ! So for Modi, after 19th Apr, Jove may well behave like Jupiter in the 9th, which is benevolent !

Devi Thalappoli on Dhanus 21, today !

When the Sun entered the First Degree of Sidereal Sagittarius, Dhanus 1,
Kalippatu started at the Devi Temple within Guruvayur Temple. Today the SUn
has entered the 21st degree of Sidereal Sagittarius, Dhanus 21, and we have
the Thalapoli of Devi.

May Her Grace bestow Eternal Happiness !

Astrological View about the Prime Ministerial Candidates !

I am not a politician and do not go even for voting.


Last week my friend, Ajithan, gave me the birth details of Shri Modi ji and we made a horoscope.


http://www.eastrovedica.com/html/modi.htm

Day before yesterday, my friend, Astrologer V G Menon came and printed the horoscope of Rahul Gandhi.

http://www.eastrovedica.com/html/rahulgandhi.htm

He says Rahul does not have much chance, as Modi's horoscope is more powerful.

So I told him why not make Kejriwal's and we made the horoscope yesterday.

http://www.eastrovedica.com/html/kejriwal.htm

V G Menon is of the opinion that Kejriwal's is more powerful than Modi's. I diasgreed with him and said it is 50:50 !

Modi ji is born in three major Yogas, Sasi Mangala Yoga, Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga and Ruchaka Maha Yoga. Jupiter is powerful in the 4th. Mercury is exalted in the 11th. Sun and Ketu are in the 11th. Jupiter aspects Venus and Saturn !

Both Modi and Rahul are born in the Moon Sign of Scorpio or Vrischika. Both are having adverse transits of Jupiter and Saturn. Elarata Saturn and Eighth Jupiter !

Kejriwal, on the other hand, is having the favorable Second Jupiterian Transit. Jupiter will be favorable for him till Jun 19th ! Hence V G Menon prefers Kejriwal.

But I still stick to my stand that Modi's horoscope is equally powerful and the chances are 50:50 !

Paramekkavu Vela on Sravana Day of Dhanus !

Yesterday in the Paramekkavu Devi Temple, Piller Pattu started. Today is the Vela. There will be a procession of 7 elephants and fireworks at night !


Wishing you a Happy Vela !


What the Rishies meant by festivals was an upsurge in spiritual consciousness, the unity of all humanity under the aegis of the Divine ! There will be festivals after festivals for the spiritually oriented Indians, as all months are more or less sacred ! Today is Sravana in the sidereal month of Sagittarius or Dhanus !

Fierceness of rains may subside after Aslesha Njattuvela

On Aug 2, at night, Aslesha Njattuvela began. It is said Ayilya Kallan Akatho Puratho, meaning that is Aslesha Sol, the villain, within or without ! It is the centuries old experience of Keralites that rains will be there, but may lose their fierceness, the fierceness exhibited by the Mrigasira, Aridra, Punarvasu and Pushya Suns !

But here rains have not abated and torrential rain has damaged many parts of Kerala. The dams are overflowing !

The Retreating Monsoon will take over on Oct 17 and rains will be there till Dec 15, till Jyeshta Njattuvela, but the fierceness of Mrigasira, Aridra, Punarvasu and Pushya will be missing !

Jove in the 12th adversely affects Indian Economy !

Look at May stats

24 billion - 44 billion = -20 billion !

Deficit is going up. By this rate, the deficit will be more than 200 billion !

The Big Auto companies are moving to Indonesia and Thailand, due to the sluggish market growth in India ! 

Honda, Toyota, Nissan and Ford are going to invest 24000 cr in Indonesia and 10000 cr in Thailand. High interest rates in India and lack of Indian Government's incentives to trigger sales, while Indonesia and Thailand are giving lots of incentives to car purchasers ! Comparitively India will only get 14000 cr by 2016, way behind her competitors !

Saturn in the Fourth is also bad and the two major planets are at the moment unfavorable for India. 

India hard pressed to defend reputation of being World Champions !

Now India is in the Carribean and two powerful teams are getting at them, the WI and SL !

Dhoni admits that expectations are high for India. The Indian fans want more victories and this will be difficult to give. You cant win all matches all the time. But Young India is very fit, to take challenges. Dhoni has gone on record that a gutsy player is better than a skilled player. Mental toughness is all that counts. 

WI meet SL today for the first match, which begins at 0800 PM IST.






For India, Shikhar Dhawan is now more experienced, wiser and stronger ! Is the the true replacement for Sehwag ? Time alone will tell.

Numerology in Cosmological Cycles !

There is Numerology in Astro Cycles Theory and here is the lowdown. 

Astro Cycles Theory

Due to the Precession of the Equinoxes, the Vernal Equinoctial Point precedes one degree in every 72 years. As a Zodiacal Sign is 30 degrees of Arc, 72*30 = 2160 years is one Age Cycle.

Age Cycle                               ( 72*30)                     =            2160 years

Precessional Cycle            (72*360)                    =            25920 years ( as the Zodiac is 360 degrees )

Equinoctial Cycle              (2000*2160)             =              43,20000 years
Cosmological Cycle          ( 2 million * 2160 ) =              4.32 billion years

One Cycle of Brahma      = 100 Brahma years

One Day of Brahma         = 4.32 billion years

If you add all these years, you get the Number Nine, the number of materiality or Man.

7+2 = 9

2+1+6 = 0

3+6+0 = 9

In Vedic Cosmology, One Cosmological Cycle is one Brahma Day and another 4.32 billion years is one Brahma Night. Chatur Yuga Sahasram Indra Harina Dinam Uchyathe, one thousand Equinoctial Cycles constitute one Cosmological Cycle or 2 million Age Cycles.


The Vedic Calendar - Based on Equinoctial Cycles

An Equinoctial Cycle comprises of 4 Ages.

Krita Yuga                   =            800 Age Cycles
Threta Yuga                =            600 Age Cycles
Dwapara Yuga            =            400 Age Cycles
Kali Yuga                      =            200 Age Cycles

______________________________

Chatur Yuga,             =             2000 Age Cycles
( Equinoctial Cycle )

According to the Bhagavat Geetha

Sahasra Yuga Paryantham
Aharyal Brahmano Viduh
Ratrim Yugaha Sahasrantham
The Ahoratra Vido Janah


Thousand Equinoctial Cycles
Constitute one Brahma Day
One Brahma Night 
Is also of same Duration
And 8.64 billion years
Is one Day Night of Brahma !

Aridra Njattuvela also devastates !

The Dance of Destruction of the SW Monsoon continues. It is raining cats and dogs here in Guruvayur.

Chalakudy River is overflowing 

Fishermen are warned not to venture into the sea and Trawling is banned. Now the Sun is transiting Aridra and this is known as Thiruvathira Njattuvela in Kerala. 10 days, 10 nights, meaning that there will be sufficient rains with sunny interludes. The Dance of Destruction done by the Head of Orion, Mriga Sira, the samhara thandava of Mriga Sira is gone, replaced  by the still fierce Aridra or Roudra Njattuvela. Njayar means Sun and Velas are  periods, meaning that they are the periods of the Sun. 

On 5 Jul, the Punarvasu Njattuvela will begin and on 19th, the Pushya Njattuvela.

Sargalaya, the Kerala Crafts Village !

A Crafts Village has been set up near Chaliyar River, in Kozhikode, by the Kerala Tourism Department. Sargalaya called, it focusses on bulding a destination for tourists and an interaction between artisans and tourists. 

Kerala's traditional crafts will be made an integral part of the experience of the tourist. Built on a plot of 20 acres, amidst calm, green surroundings, Sargalaya incorporates the beauty of Monsoon Kerala, the Damsel who puts on a Green Silk Saree, as poets describe Kerala. It has 27 cottages, where the artisans can work.

 It has a Crafts Design & Techonology Development Center which imparts training to artisans, encouraging innovation.

The Heavens indicated brutal events !

Actually, Astrology is not a predictive science. We say everything is known only to the Lord. People think astrologers are ominiscient and no mortal is omniscient !

People ask why didnt the astrologers predict tsunamis? I told them that it is not the duty of the astrologer to predict tsunamis. We are not gods !

Nature is dualistic, that is she has both destructive and creative aspects. In Her destructive aspect, She is Kali and in Her creative aspect, She is Sarawathi. The Hindu sees Her in the sweetness of Saraswathi, the laughter of Krishna and the terror of Kali. Lord Krishna says in the BG that I am the all Devouing Death, Mrityu sarva haraschaham.

The astrologer is wise only after the event. I pointed out the SWM has a destructive aspect too. Hundreds of houses were devoured by the sea. Theare are again merits and demerits of having a sea nearby. When monsoon floods come, the blockages can be removed and the water can be allowed to flow into the sea. Last week this was done in Kerala.  We have an estuary in Chavakkad, the Chavakkad Azhimugham, where the Chettuva River merges into the sea. On the other hand, there are possibilities of oceanic attacks and tsunamis, if you are living near the coast.

When people asked me about the Kedarnath tragedy ( what is your astro explanation ! ), I told them Astrology is an indicative science. Not an omniscient science, as Theology and Cosmology say. What do you see ? The Sun was in Mriga Sira. The Head of the Beast, the Head of Orion ! Beast, brute, brutal. Planetary influences on Mundane Affairs state that some brutal event is happening on earth. That is the astro reading. The astrologer is not omniscient, but the heavens were brimming with pessimistic prophecies. Then the next question will be asked, does this always happen during the solar transit of Mriga Sira ? The fierce rains in Mriga Sira Njattuvela normally wreaks havoc. Again, Astrology is not a physical science, it is a mystical science.

Predicting events using the Kerala Njattuvela Calendar in other parts is not Wisdom. For instance, we cannot say that during Mriga Sira or any other Njauttuvela, it will rain in TN. since TN does not get SWM.  May be there are sporadic rains. These Njattuvelas are specific to Kerala.  

Jove in the 12th devastates Indian economy !

The Rupee falling has everything to do with misgovernance.

Look at the May stats

 

Export - Import = Deficit

 

24 b - 44 b = -20 billion

 

The deficit for May is -20 b and it is safe to assume that the deficit will be >200 billion this year. Given the $319 billion federal debt, where does India stand. MMS is an underperformer. We have to replace.

Since Jupiter moved to the 12th in India's horoscope ( Star _ Pushya ), we are hearing bearish news. The Stock Market has come down. Gold has come down and now the Rupee is Senior ! The Ministry that it will become 70 and it is healthy, they say ! For one more year, Jupiter in the 12th, can devastate the Indian economy. God only knows how much Inflation, food inflation etc will rise.

Mrigasira Njattuvela was brutal !

We didnt see the Sun for 5 days, when the Sun transited Mrigasira. But when he came to Aridra, he materialsed like our nuts and bolts materialiser ! Yesterday and today we had sunny interludes. It is drizzling now.

Mriga Sira means the Head of the Beast, the Head of Orion, the Hunter. What is Mriga ? Beast. Brute. Mrigasira was brutal, as witnessed in Kedarnath. In Kerala, evey day more than 10 houses were devoured by the sea. The negative aspect of the SWM ! Mrigasira Njattuvela was brutal, as it always have been. Aridra is ruled by Rahu and if we go by the dictum Shanivad Rahu, can we hope for some relief?  But Aridra is Roudra, another nodal and malefic constellation. Trawling has been banned for one month and all are warned about visiting coastal areas. From my office, Beach is just five kms away. Wild horses will not drag me there !

Add to it the Supermoon on 23rd and you can understand the devastation caused in Uttarkhand and many parts of India. In Kerala, in one day, more than 100 houses were devoured by the sea. Houses destroyed elsewhere, trees uprooted etc are reported by newspapers. The leading Malayalam daily, the Mathrubhoomi, has earmarked its second page for the ravages caused by the South West Monsoon !

Makeeryam Njattuvela ravages India !

Aridra or Thiruvathira Njattuvela, the Solar Transit of Alpha Orionis, begins today. Mrigasira, which concluded tooday, was fraught with devastation. Mrigasira is ruled by the fiery Mars and hence the destruction ! We pray for the victims of Kedarnath tragedy. It is said that the astrologer is wise after the event, even though he can discern the heavenly signs !


Now Aridra is Roudra, another fiery constellation and the destructive aspect of the South West Monsoon can still wreak havoc.

We are de-Anaxagorasing our prayers. May not the SWM wreak destruction and may not the Monsoon Fury affect the overpopulated Indian subcontinent and the whole world !
