Prasna (Investigation or Diagnosis)

One of the few astrologers who handle now the real application of Astrology is Shri.Jayachandraraj, popularly known as "Guruji". He uses the "Prashna" maarga methodology in astrology. Prashna investigates the correlation of planetary phenomena at the time a question is asked with the answer to that question.

         All questions are answerable from a horoscope calculated at the time of the question, or determined in a variety of other ways, including: the phonetic values of the syllables uttered by the questioner, the parts of the body the compass direction in which he or she stood at the time of the question, or a random number he or she might choose. This is the traditional approach of Prashna. 

     Guruji has slightly modified the Prashna Maarga.  The way Guruji uses  the Prashna is by asking the individual to touch one of the twelve square boxes (representing the 12 houses) that is drawn on a paper. The time is noted and then he draws a horoscope based on that moment when the individual touches one of the square boxes. This is more accurate than seeing a birth chart.

 The time energy he then uses to draw a birth chart which is more accurate than any other method. 

what does Guruji astrologically?

Every living and non-living  being takes  birth with Nine Energy patterns (Symbolically called as planets) . These Nine-Energy patterns are in varying levels of for each particular being at the time of birth.  (Horoscope is a  status-report of the varying energy levels ). The life of an individual is the sum total of the strength and functionality of these Nine Energy patterns.  The Nine Energy patterns are health Energy, material-wealth energy, knowledge-energy, recognition-energy , relationship-energy, professional-energy, Progeny-energy, sustenance-energy, progressive-energy. But , in due course of life, various negative thoughts and desires divert the Nine- Essential energy into negative events (sorrow)  in life.  So the original Energy potential is not available for smooth normal life.

Only if the energy deficiency (Negative energy) is restored to the Nine Essential Energy, life will be happy. More Energy (Positive) makes life desires to be fulfilled and be happy. Astrology advices the basics steps to be taken to restore the original (ideal) Energy potential through simple remedial measures.

Traditional astrologers see only the gross level of Energy pattern in the form of Nine planets and their interaction I 12 houses. They do more predictions of the events that the Energy pattern unfold in one’s life time.

 Guruji sees the Astrological chart in the form of light which he subdivides  into 9 x 100000000000000000 (18) sub energy patterns. He then analyzes looking at all the past, present and future energy patterns and suggest mantras to increase or amplify the energy patterns.

Features of the Rasi Reading in 30 minutes.

1.     Guruji does the Energy level  observations.  A snap shot of an individual’s energy pattern is taken at the particular moment of time and then analyzed.
2.     He gives the time schedules of the various forth coming favorable and unfavorable situations.
3.     An  astrological calendar giving most favorable days to bring desired results.
4.     Advice of the basic and additional steps to be undertaken by the individual is suggested.
5.     The  personal Self- effort is inevitable because it is the individual who has  drained up the energy and he or she alone can restore it.
6.     Raasi finding throws light on the Status of the different energy level of an individual.
7.     Based on that there are common basic steps  to be followed by everyone.
8.     Sometimes additional steps are required based on the individual’s energy level as well as desires to be fulfilled.
9.     When the energy situation is very complex, then Astro-Technological intervention (Homas and Yagyas)  is highly recommended.

Personal effort in doing the astrological suggestions bring desired results, otherwise leaving the situation to takes its own course.  

Why not birth chart? Seeing a birth chart is like looking at the blue print of a house which was drawn at the time of construction. But over time there could be so many modifications to the house and the original blue-print may not reflect the accurate  picture of the house. Similarly our birth chart represents the our karmic blueprint. This means the sum total of our previous thoughts and its actions and what now we are going to express it.  (For more details please click here). But over time we had done many karmas based on our environment and life style.

Guruji uses this methodology and is able to see the whole "karmic-history" of the individual. The individual's past lives, the present and future is glanced. He says predictions are easy to make but are futile. He reiterates that the individual becomes unhappy and fearful in knowing the details of the results of his actions. Instead Guruji focuses on the remedial measures to mitigate the hardships in life.  He does predictions, unless necessary but focuses only on the remedial measures to be taken not only to avert uncomfortable events in life but also to amplify the possible benefits that one can accrue in future.

This is very important which other astrologers may not highlight. One might be told that one might have a good favorable time, might later finds that there was only a slight or no improvement. This is because according to the birth chart an astrologer sees that in a particular time period he or she is bestowed with a favor in life. But due to some wrong thought process and actions that favor could be blocked. Guruji's says we should also make steps to tap the full benefits by removing the block.

 Remedies: Based on our sum total of our karma, he gives remedies to change the course of events for the betterment. It is very interesting to note that Guruji's recommendations are that will change the mind or thought process which create good karma for the present and the future. They are simple methods like lighting oil lamp with wicks in a particular direction, lemon lamps in temples, burning camphor, oil gazing, neernajanam, (please click here for the details)  chanting of slokas or reading Shiva purana or  recommending some temple visits.

 Yagnya and Homa: Neeranjanam is like a personal yagnya or homa one can do at home.  In Yagna or homa positive thoughts and statements in the form of Mantras are chanted. A Pundit or a priest chants Mantras (powerful electromagnetic waves like thoughts) based on what is desired. mantras could be for Health, wealth, education or power. These Yagnas and Homas give good results.  However our personal Yagnas and Prayers are much more powerful than when some body else does for us. We can pay hundreds of dollars to a Pundit to do a Yagnya one our behalf. The pundits do a good job. This is similar like hiring a good baby sitter to take care of our child. No matter how good a baby sitter might be , one cannot match to the real mother. The same way we might get a very sincere Pundit to do Yagna or homa and get good results, but more would come when we do our home-work of doing rituals and prayers. At this juncture we should also understand that we should have full awareness in doing these ritual and also transform our thought processes , otherwise birth after birth we will continue to live life merely doing rituals only.

 We are what we think we are: Change life pattern with changing thoughts and have a positive attitude in life to heal our Karmic diseases.  Guruji is  like a doctor treating body diseases he gives prescription , simple remedies for our karmic-disease. He suggest few life style changes and always sees a solution for any problem in life. He directs all the people to undertake steps for making the life peaceful.

    One comment from a friend who asked Guruji to look into his son's horoscope to see what profession his son would take based on his horoscope. The powerful answer from Guruji was, dont ask what he will become, ask me what he wanted to become, and I will suggest the ways to realize the goal. The friend commented that this is the first and practical answer he ever heard from an Astrologer. This is the proof of a real astrologer doing his service for the happiness of mankind.

Greatness of Vedic Astrological science: Guruji says this Vedic science requires millions of calculations in a few seconds. It is amazing how time and actions are converted into mathematics and the application is derived from it for the betterment of human life.

    Jyothish -4  (Vedic Astrology)

Mathematical calculations in Vedic Astrological science: Guruji says this Vedic science requires millions of calculations in a few seconds. It is amazing how time and actions are converted into mathematics and the application is derived from it for the betterment of human life.

Taking the fact that from the observer point of view, he or she becomes the center of the whole universe. This is converted mathematically as a circle and the circle's 360 degrees is taken into account. As we have been discussing that the single pure consciousness manifest as the Universe using the five Cosmic laws, the Pancha Bhutas. These five Cosmic Principles help manifest the energy into material form, through nine expression modes, the Navagrahas.   

    The material manifestation occurs with varying degrees and interactions of the nine expression modes which are twelve in number, the twelve houses or "Bhaavas" or twelve "Raashis". That is from the Observer's perspective (The Earth) all the Navagrahas are observed, like we observe our solar system. This is wrongly interpreted as Earth being the center and Sun is revolving around it.

Based on our thoughts we create our own Universes and express the actions in it , but we all share the same Cosmic laws. So nature of our thoughts create its own actions and the intensity and magnitude of the expressions varies. This is reflected in our Karmic Blueprint or birth chart. The position of the planets and its interactions indicate the various degrees of thought processes.  based on our thought interactions and action we set our own fate and destiny.

Fate should be again be clearly understood as the effect of the cause and destiny the choice in exercising the cause. fate cannot be changed but destiny can be changed. Vedic literature also points out the fact an individual is summoned to all the Cosmic laws until he perceives him or her as the body, mind, sense complex. When one transcends beyond it, naturally one is beyond the influence of these laws. This is exhibited by the miracles of great saints.

          Navagrahas

 In the previous page,  we discussed that the whole Universe is only a manifestation of Pure Consciousness. This pure Consciousness manifest as the Universe with five basic principles called the Pancha Bhootas. These  five principles has nine aspects of expression in this Universe,  the Navagrahas. 

Navagrahas: 

This five principles (Pancha Bhootas) behind the manifestation of this universe has nine aspects of expression. This nine aspects of expression of the five Pancha Bhootas  are the Navagrahas. Navagrahas like the Pancha Bhootas are literally taken only as the outward gross planets of the Solar System. The subtle Truth of the Navagrahas is that , it is the nine-expression modes of the five principles causing the Manifestation of the Universe. This applies to all human actions too. Like the Cosmic actions, our human actions also can be classified as nine. 

Navagrahas

Everything is the expression of one single Energy. The timely, cyclical, rhythmic expression of Energy are the 9 planets or Grahas.

During its cyclical expression (360 degrees in a circle), the various modes of expression of Energy are divided as Bhaavas (Expression) or houses (30 degrees). Each house has its own characteristic nature.

To understand this let us connect to the Energy of our life. Our life energy is expressed in different aspects of beauty, royalty, strength, security, prosperity, longevity etc. We have classified that into 12 and connected to like financial expense sheet, because expression in any form of life involve expense of Energy. So finally we need to account the Energy and create a income-expense sheet so that we can budget for the next cycle of expression (next page has details of this reality).

Another view at Navagrahas.

Since action is the core of life, let us take the nine-modes of expression in action. 

1. The "Awareness" (and also Leadership)  in doing an action-  is represented by Surya (Sun). 

2. Instinct or the "lead' (emotional liking factor) to do an action  - Chandra (Moon) 

3. The intensity / Power (Energy) in action - Kuja (Mars). 

4. The pattern / focus / attention (Intelligence) in doing action - Budh (Mercury) 

5. The purpose or "objective or philosophy" (Goal) in doing an action - Guru (Jupiter) 

6. The aesthetic beauty (artistic way of doing) in the performance of action - Shukra - Venus. 

7. Initial inertia (slowness) to Self Judge the task to attain completeness (Judgemental) in action - Saturn Shani. 

8. The distortion factor that deviates the result of an action - Rahu. 

9. The factor that that pulls to the culmination (Spiritual) of the result -  Ketu. 

These nine factors are seen in each and every action of this universe, whether it could be the rotation action of the celestial bodies  or the action at atomic level or the  action of the human beings. 

Let us take an example of a football player hitting the ball to obtain the goal. The awareness in the play and the final outcome of the game is the "Sun" aspect. Infact the whole football game is based on that fact. It is the center point of the game. The instinct and the lead in doing the action is the Moon. The aspect of drawing full power to hit the ball is the Mars aspect. When the ball is with a player and the focusing aspect to hit the ball is the Budh aspect because that is where he uses his intellect. The aesthetic beauty in hitting the ball is the Venus aspect. The initial slow action which leads to the completion of the act is the Saturn aspect. Once he hits the ball, whether it will lead to the goal or not depends on the the distortion factor Rahu or the binding factor Ketu. 

So if we analyze each and every action we will see that these nine-modes of expression is manifested in every action of this universe. It should be clearly understood that these nine aspects may not expression equally. The varying proportions of each aspect of the Navagrahas leads to the diversity in this creation.

Like the seven colors, where all of the basically emerge from white color, but different variations in colors leads to different shades of colors. Similarly different ranges of expression (Navagrahas) leads to the diverse activities in this Universe.

There is one more aspect to the expression mode of the Navagrahas, the twelve fields  of expression, which are known as the twelve houses. Various degrees of the expression of these nine expression attributes (Navagrahas) can be mathematically calculation which is called as the Jyothism or Vedic Astrology.

     Twelve Houses (Bhaavas)

    In the previous pages,  we have been discussing that the whole Universe is only a manifestation of Pure Consciousness. This pure Consciousness manifest as the Universe with five basic principles called the Pancha Bhootas. The five principal laws of Manifestation of Consciousness into matter are the Pancha Bhootas.  These  five principles has nine aspects of expression in this Universe,  the Navagrahas. Therefore the laws of nine modes of expression are the navagrahas.

How the nine expression modes operate in bringing out their expression are represented by the twelve houses. That is the degrees or patterns of expressions is what denoted by the twelve houses.

Listen to the audio tape by cliking here.

1.  Represents the degree or pattern of expression of the constitution or make up.
2.  Represents the degree (extent to which) of expression of the material form.
3.  Represents the degree or pattern of expression of mutual interactions.
4.  Represents the degree of comfort level or easiness in expression.
5.  Represents the degree  of further self propogation.
6.  Represents the degree or level of resistance for expression.
7.  Represents the degree of self relating with each other.
8.  Represents the degree of duration of expression.
9.  Represents the degree or pattern of expression of expansion.
10. Represents the degree or pattern of expression of action.
11. Represents the degree or pattern of expression of accomplishement.
12. Represents the degree of reintegration to its original state.

Circle represents infinite nature and is 360 degrees. This is the mathematical way of calculating the above degree of expression.

Nakshatras. 27 of them. What do they signify?
