Several months ago I
wrote a small post based on Vedic Mantra in my secret facebook group (here I do
not want to give reference and link of that group), afterwards I published it in
my another facebook public group (the link for this post will be given) and now
I am reproducing that post below:
(2) ॐ यज्जाग्रतो
दूरमुदैति दैवं तदु सुप्तस्य
तथैवेति ।
दूरंगमं ज्योतिषां ज्योतिरेकं तन्मे मनः शिवसंकल्पमस्तु ॥
The
above Vedic mantra may be written in English script as:
Om
Yajjagrato dooramudaytee deeavem tadu suptasya
tatheevete ।
Dooramgamam jyotishaam jyotirekam tennme manah Shivsankalpamastu ॥

The agency which in the state
of awakening goes far away and see the
the emergence of past life karma going to be fructified and it also repeats it
in its state of sleeping and it has a capacity to still go far away up to the
Zodiac and in its extreme it approches to Parmatma and this agency is none other
than my Manah and may it have an auspicious commitment to do welfare

The aforesaid written Mantra is Chant while performing
Vedic Yagya. In year 1991 or so when I was understanding Vedic Jyotish and
conducting my researches on it, I noticed the Sanskrit word jyotisha in the Sanskrit word jyotishaam of this Mantra and at
that time I thought this implies Vedic root of Jyotish but in year 1998 I met
with a Vedic expert and our point of discussion was the existence of Jyotish in
Vedas. I was in favour of it and that Vedic expert was totally against it then
I quoted the aforesaid Sanskrit Vedic Mantra to make my point strong but my
opinion was totally criticized by him on the grounds that the Sanskrit word
Jyotisha existing in that Mantra is referred to Ganit Jyotisha (Astronomy) only
and not the Phalit Jyotisha (Astrology). Anyhow he was able to make me totally
convinced about his view about the non existence of Astrology in Vedas. But in
actual practice it was not so and time to time my desire of finding of Vedic
root of Jyotisha started becoming stronger and stronger through the aforesaid
Mantra.

After 3 to 4 years of that
incident on a very fine day suddenly a thought
appeared in mind that I should also consider the Sanskrit words मनः (mana) & दैवं (deeavem) also along with the Sanskrit word Jyotisha existing in the
aforesaid Mantra. That Vdic expert translated the Sanskrit word दैवं (deeavem) as Parmatma (Devam) but
I knew that the Sanskrit word दैवं (deeavem) exists in Ramayana and
some Ayurvedic texts and the meaning of this Sanskrit word दैवं (deeavem) in famous Ayurvedic text Chraka Samhita written by Charaka
many centuries ago as the Karma performed in previous life likely to operate in
present life. This clearly indicated that, that Vedic expert did not know the
meaning of this word दैवं (deeavem) in true sense.

Then things started becoming easier, I knew in Jyotisha
Moon signifies Mana and Jagrat & Supta avasthas of mind described in this
Mantra also apply to states Moon as per Jyotisha. So it becomes clear that Moon
irrespective of waxing or waning gives the way to the manifestation of the results
of previous life performed Karmas in this life and it is the meaning of the aforesaid
Sanskrit Mantra. In Jyotisha the Nakshatra dasha supposed to give Karma Phala
of previous life is calculated from the longitude of Moon. Thus I found the
Vedic root of Nakshatra dasha
