(1) Several
times I have told you that Vedic Jyotish is based on {1} Common sense and {2}
The knowledge stored in Puranas. Every Vedic Astrologer should have a vision to
understand that knowledge of Puranas and apply that to understand the secrets
of Vedic Jyotish. Vedic Jyotish has its roots in Vedas and Puranas are best to
understand Vedas.
(2) The ancient experts of Jyotish addressed Guru (Jupiter) as Jeeva. I
have seen several Vedic astrologers taking the literal meaning of Jeeva as
animal and thus Jupiter signifies the entire animal kingdom as per them. It is
the wonder of Sanskrit and Jyotish that each meaning of a single Sanskrit word
used as a terminology of Jyotish holds good.
(2.1) As per Shivamahapurana the Shresthee
Krama (Cycle of creation) on this Mrituloka (Earth) evolves due to Maithuna
(Sexual intercourse) and thus in literal mean the Jeeva indicates the product after
sexual intercourse between a male and a female and that is why Jupiter is also
termed as Santankarka (A planet signifying offspring). But that maithuni
Shreesthi was not possible without Shukra (sperm) and the other Guru of Daitya
(Devils) Shukra presides over Shukra (Sperm) and sexual intercourse between a
male and a female. On this ground it may be considered that the Jeeva (Jupiter)
is an evolution of the beeja (Seeds) Shukra (Venus) and thus both the Gurus
Jupiter and Venus are responsible for this maithuni Shreesthi prevailing on
this earth.
(3) But very few people know the other fact about Guru (Jupiter) being
known as Jeeva and that has another great aspect in Vedic Jyotish. In
Shivapurana it is written that once to meet Parmatama Shiva both the Devaguru
Bristipati and Devaraja Indra went to Kailash and while on the way to Kailash
Devaraja Indra saw a yogi in the state of Samadhi (Deep Trance) and then
Devraja Indra asked that yogi about the Parmatma Shiva but that Yogi gave no
reply even after the repeated queries from Devraja Indra. Devraja Indra took
those silent actions of that Yogi as his insult and then he lost his temper and
he hit the head of that Yogi by his Vajra (A weapon used by Indra).
(3.1) What was that? As soon as Devraja Indra hit the head of that yogi
the countless volcanoes started appearing from the head of that yogi and then
Devguru found Indra under the tides of fire emanating from the head of that
Yogi.
(3.2) Then Devaguru saw Devraaja Indra by his
Karunamayee drishtee (took him at a merciful glance) and that fire started
growing and growing and to protect his brilliant disciple Indra that Sadguru
saw that Yogi posited in the state of deep trance and he recognized that Yogi
by his divine vision.
(3.3) That Yogi was Parmatma Shiva and for the protection of his
brilliant disciple Indra the Sadguru (Jupiter) with folded hands was before the
Mahaguru of Anantkoti Brhamsnda Shiva. What a divine scene that was!
(3.4) On account of divine prayers performed by Devaguru the Ashutosh
Prabhu (A lord who pleases quickly) Shiva pleased & appeased and he then
freed Indra from his divine anger.
(3.5) In
that way Devguru gave Jeevan Daana (Donated new life) to Indra and that was why
Devguru is also known as Jeeva.
(4) The aforesaid Katha (story) as described under (3), (3.1), (3.2),
(3.4) & (3.5) indicates an astrological fact. Dear students if you
concentrate on this Kaatha (story) and use your common sense you will find that
Indra is the divine king and all the Navagrah from Sun to Ketu come under his
dominance without him all the Navagrah become powerless and inactive (A Vedic
fact) and Devguru Brihispati is the Guru of Indra who protected him from the
anger of Parmatma Shiva also protected Navagrah. It clearly indicates that
Planet Guru protects Navagrah including himself and thus in any horoscope if an
ill disposed planet comes under the aspect of Jupiter it gets protected to give
auspicious results.
(5) Dear students if you want to get the depth of Vedic Jyotish then
understand properly what has been written in Vedic literature.
