“Are Trees & Vegetables Living Beings?” – an article written by Vishal Aksh

(1) We all Hindu believe that we should not take Animal Food and should only consume Vegetable Food. It is good to take Vegetarian Food but as far as Dharma is concerned the food is a requirement for survival and the types of Food are based on the Guna such as Satvik, Rajsik and Tamsik.

(2) Satvik Food is made up of Vegetables and Milk Products and does not contain stimulants and that is why it is best suited for the people doing Intellectual Works and Trading Works where the Wisdom and Intelligence are applied as a part of livelihood. Though Milk Products don’t come under Vegetable Food but it comes under Satvik Food.

(3) Rajsik Food is a mixture of the several ingredients of Vegetable Foods and Animal Food. This type of food provides physical energy and thus it is the requirement of Warriors and all those doing similar works.

(4) Tamsik Food includes stimulants and Vegetables like Onion. It is the requirement of people belonging to Labor Works.

(5) In Vedic Literature it is written जीवजीवस्य भोजनम्। (Jeevjeevasya Bhojanam) which means an animal is a food for other animal. This clearly reflects that all types of Food belong to Animal or living beings come under Animal Food.

(6) In Sativik Food the Curd contains microbes and this clearly verifies जीवजीवस्य भोजनम्। (Jeevjeevasya Bhojanam).

(7) But what about Trees and other Vegetables. Are they living beings or not? Several Vedic Experts consider them as non living. If this is taken then the validity of Vedic Rule जीवजीवस्य भोजनम्। (Jeevjeevasya Bhojanam) will become questionable.

(8) Now I am going to explain what Vedic Literatures speak about Trees and other Vegetables:

(i) ओषध्यः फलपाकान्ता नानाविधफलोपगाः।

अपुष्पा फलवन्तो  ये  ते वनस्पतयः स्मृताः॥

Translation: The Plants which survive up to the ripe of their fruits and after that they die and the trees with plenty of flowers and fruits are known as Aushdhi.

The Plants which produces fruits without flowers are known as Vanaspati

Note: Every Plant is not Aushdhi similarly every Plant is not Vanaspati.   

(ii) पुष्पिणः फलिनश्चै वृक्षास्तूभयतः।

तमसा बहुरुपेण वेष्टिताः कर्महेतुना॥

Translation: The Plants which grow very much and fructify are known as Vriksh (Trees)

Note: In Sanskrit the other word used for Vriksh is Taru which is very near to English Word Tree both in pronunciation and meaning.

(iii) अन्तःसंज्ञा भवन्त्येते सुखदुःखसमन्विताः।

Translation: These Trees and other vegetables etc also possess self consciousness and feelings of joy and sorrow but because of the existing of Tamo Guna on account of their Past Karma they are not able to express that.

Note: This is a great information described in aforesaid Sanskrit Shloka written under ((8)/(iii)). The Trees and all the other Plants have feelings and self consciousness with Karmic Approaches but unable to express. This is enough to prove that Vedas give to members of Vegetable Kingdom a status of Living Beings with Karmic Approaches.

(9) All the Vegetable Foods thus also come under Animal Food and thus it gets authentication under the Vedic Statement जीवजीवस्य भोजनम्। (Jeevjeevasya Bhojanam).

(10) If you consume Vegetable Food don’t say you are Vegetarian just say you are Satvik

“How To Understand Benefic Lines In Ashtaka Varga?” – an article written by Vishal Aksh

Vishal Aksh
(Astrologer, Writer, Researcher, Thinker & Philosopher)

(1) Any Planets occupying benefic lines from 0 to 8 gives the results in accordance with those already written in various standard books containing the Chapter on Ashtaka Varga. Below written is what which is based on my understandings & researches on Vedic Jyotish:

(i) 8 Benefic Lines: That Planet can be equated to Exaltation and it remains in Higher Esteem  

(ii) 7 Benefic Lines: The Planet behaves like that in its Own Sign with too many Assets

(iii) 6 Benefic Lines: The Planet gives you what if it occupies the sign of its Intimate Friend

(iv) 5 Benefic Lines: The Planets feels as if it is in Friendly Atmosphere

(v) 4 Benefic Lines: The Planet dwells in Neutral Zone

(vi) 3 Benefic Lines: The Planet is in its Foe’s Camp.

(vii) 2 Benefic Lines: The Planet is Caught by its Intimate Foe

(vii) 1 Benefic Line : The Planet is idle and depressed as being in the state of debility

(viii) 0 Benefic Line : The Planet loses its Glow and Power  

(2) What has been written under (1)/(i) to (1)/(viii) applies to the number of Benefic Lines occupied by any Planet in its Bhinnashtaka Varga of various Shodasvarga Charts also  

(3) Any Planet if it occupies its Exaltation Sign/Own Sign in Concerned Divisional Chart of Shodash Varga is powerful even it occupies a sign having less than 4 benefic Lines

(4) Any Planet having less than 4 Benefic Lines attains power provided it receives the Aspect of a Natural Benefic like Jupiter, Yamakantaka, Venus, Mercury, Ardhyama or Moon or a Yogakarka Planet. This applies in Concerned Shodash Varga Chart also

(5) Any Planet having more than 4 Benefic Lines becomes powerless provided it receives Aspect of Natural Malefic Planet like Saturn, Gulika, Maandi, Mars, Mritu, Sun, Kaalbela, Rahu or Ketu or a Marka Planet. This applies in Concerned Shodash Varga Chart also

"The Yuga Theory And Leangth Of Sidereal Year" - an article written by Vishal Aksh

This Article written by me was published on Saturday, October 17, 2015 at 03:36 (IST) in my Facebook Closed Group and the screenshot of that is also attached herewith this Article. Necessary edits are also made here to make this Article more informative 

(1)In Vedic Puranas and several ancient literatures on Vedic Jyotish the Kaalganna (measurement of time) has been given. A Mahayuga consists of four Yuga (1) Satyuga, (2) Treta Yuga, (3) Dwapur Yuga and (3) Kali Yuga.

(2) Dwapur Yuga is double the length of Kali Yuga in sidereal years, Treta Yuga is triple the length of Kali Yuga in sidereal years and Sat Yuga is 4 times of the length of Kali Yuga in sidereal. The length of Kali Yuga is given as: 432000 Sidereal Years.

(3) As per definition Dwapur Yuga = 2 × the length of Kali Yuga = 2 × 432000 = 864000 Sidereal Years

(4) Length of Treta Yuga = 3 × the length of Kali Yuga = 3 × 432000 = 1296000 Sidereal years

(5) Length of Sat Yuga = 4 × the length of Kali Yuga = 4 × 432000 = 1728000 Sidereal Years

(6) A Mahayuga = Sat Yuga + Treta Yuga + Dwapur Yuga + Kali Yuga = 1728000 + 1296000 + 864000 + 432000 = 4320000 Sidereal Years

(7) In Surya Siddhanta the total numbers of sidereal days in a Mahayuga are given = 1577917828 Sidereal Days

So In 4320000 Sidereal Years the total no. of Sidereal Days = 1577917828 Sidereal Days

One Sidereal Year According to Surya Siddhanta = 1577917828 ÷ 4320000 = 365.25875648148148148148148148148 Days = 365 days 06 hours 12 minutes 37 seconds

Modern Value for Length of a sidereal year = 365.256363 days = 365 days 06 hours 09 minutes 10 seconds

(8) Comparing the Ancient Vedic and Modern Values for length of a sidereal year anyone can find that a Vedic Year is 03 minutes 27 seconds longer than modern value of sidereal year.

(9) The Pragmanan Chakra or Progressed Horoscope containing events for one year only displays its results within 365 days 06 hours 09 minutes 10 Seconds

“How Is The Formation Of The Sutras Of Predictive Jyotish?” – an article written by Vishal Aksh

"कैसे होता है फलित ज्योतिषी सूत्रों का निर्माण?" - विशाल अक्ष द्वरा रचित एक लेख

द्वितीयस्थो यदि कुजास्तर्कशास्त्रविशारदः।

तत्रैव च भवेदिन्दु सूत्रज्ञो यज्ञको भवेत्॥

[Dwiteeyastho Yadi Kujastarkshaatrvishardah!

Tatraiv Ch Bhevindu Sutrjo Yajko Bhavet!!]

(१) उपरोक्त श्लोक ज्योतिष के अनुपम ग्रन्थ भावार्थरत्नाकर से है। इस श्लोक का सरल शब्दों में अर्थ कुछ इस प्रकार है, "यदि मंगल द्वितीय भाव में है तो जातक तर्क शास्त्र का अध्यनकर्ता होता है। द्वितीयभावास्थ यदि चन्द्र हो तो जातक पण्डित अथवा पुरोहित होता है।"

(1) The aforesaid Shloka is from an unrivalled Jyotish Text the Bhaavartha Ratnakara. The meaning of this Shloka in simple wordings is, “If Mars in 2^nd House then the person learner of the logic. If there be Moon in 2^nd House the person is Pandit or Purohita.”    

(२) यदि सूक्ष्मरूप से इस श्लोक का विचार किया जाय तो ज्योतिष में सूत्रों का निर्माण कैसे होता है यह स्पष्ट होता है:

(2) If this Shloka is taken for minute consideration then it reveals how the rules of predictive Jyotish are made:   

(२.१) कुज या मंगल श्री शिवमहापुराण के अनुसार भगवान शिव के पसीने की बूंद के पृथ्वी पर पतन के स्वरूप प्रकट हुआ था एवं ज्योतिष के अनुसार यह मंगल भगवान शिव के पुत्र कार्तिकेय को दर्शाता है। कार्तिकेय देवताओं के सेनापति है जो अपने युद्धकौशल में प्रवीणता के कारण विख्यात है एवं ब्राह्मणो के प्रिय होने के कारण सुब्रह्मण्यम भी कहा जाता है। यह सामान्य ज्ञान है कि बिना वाकचातुर्य के उस वैदिक काल में कोई भी व्यक्ति ब्राह्मणो का प्रिय नही हो सकता था।

(2.1) According to Shri Shiva Mahapurana Kuja or Mangal (Mars) was appeared when a droplet of sweat of Parmatma Shiva fell on earth’s surface and according to Jyotisha this Magal (Mars) represents Shiva’s son Kartikeya. Kartikeya who is famous for his expertise in strategics is the Army Commander of Devta and because of being admired by Brahmins he is known as Subramaniam. This is a common sense that without the cleverness in speech no one could become the admirable of Brahmins in Vedic Era.         

(२.२) जब यहि युद्ध कौशल में प्रवीण मंगल वाकस्थान (द्वितीय भाव) में विराजमान होगा तो सुब्रह्मण्यम होने के कारण वाक में अपने नैसर्गिक गुण तीक्ष्णता से भी संपन्न होगा अतः वाणि में तीक्ष्णता का समावेश करेगा पर इसका अर्थ यह कदापि नही है कि वाणि में अभद्रता का संचार होगा।

(2.2) When this Mangal (Mars) being expertise in strategics sits in 2^nd house then also being Subramaniam it will also be endowed with its natural character of Sharpness so it will include Sharpness to Speech but it does not mean there will be the flow of indecency in the speech.        

(२ .३) वाकस्थान में विराजमान मंगल अपनी विशेष दृष्टियों से बुद्धि के भाव पंचम भाव एवं मर्यादा (धर्माचरण) के भाव नवम भाव से प्रसारित करेगा। यह सूक्ष्म रूप से विचार करने का विषय है कि इस स्थति में मंगल पंचम भाव से दशम एवं नवम भाव से छटे भाव में होगा जो इन दोनो भावों से शुभ स्थिति को दर्शाता है अतैव अपनी विशेष दृष्टियों (४थी एवं ८वी) के माध्यम से वाक स्थान को बोध एवं मर्यादा प्रदान करेगा।

(2.3) The sitting down of Mangal (Mars) in the house of speech aspects 5^th house the house of intelligence and 9^th House the house of limits (Vedic Religious Duties). This is the subject of minute consideration that under such situations Mangal (Mars) will be 10^th from 5^th house and 6^th from 9^th house and that indicates auspicious position from these two houses so it will give to the Speech Of House the comprehension and limits on account of its special Aspects (4^th & 8^th).       

(२.४) बोध एवं मर्यादा का जब वाणि में समावेश हो जाता है तब इस अवस्था में मंगल द्वितीयस्थ हो जातक को तर्कशास्त्र में निपुण कर तार्किक बना देता है।

(2.4) Whenever there is the inclusion of comprehension and limits in speech then under such situation if Mangal (Mars) sits in 2^nd house then it makes a person Logician after making him well versed in Rules Of Logic  

(३) वैदिक साहित्यानुसार चन्द्रमा के पिता ऋषि अत्रि थे अतः चन्द्रमा को ब्राह्मणत्व के संस्कार अपने पिता ऋषि अत्रि से प्राप्त है तथा यहि चन्द्रमा प्रथम ब्राह्मण ब्रह्मदेव के भी अवतार है। ज्योतिष ग्रंथो के अनुसार द्वितीय भाव आस्तिकता को भी दर्शाता है। अतैव द्वितीयभावास्थ होकर चन्द्रदेव जातक को पण्डित अथवा पुरोहित बना देंगे। यहि उपरोक्त श्लोक की अन्तिम पंक्ति का भाव है।

(3) According to Vedic Literature rishi Atri was the father of Chandrama (Moon) so Chandrama (Moon) got the Brahmin Sanskara from his father rishi Atri and this Chandrama (Moon) is the Avatara of Brhmadeva. According to texts on Vedic Jyotish 2^nd house also indicates Vedic Theism. Thus while in 2^nd house Chanderadeva (Moon) will make a person Pandit or Purohita. This is the gist of the last line of the aforesaid Sanskrit Shloka.

"Rahu & Ketu" - An article written by Vishal Aksh

(1) It was perhaps many centuries before creation as per Vedic literatures when the existence of Brhama (The divine creator and the profounder of the Gyana (True knowledge)) occurred and then Brhmadeva saw Vishnu (The divine preserver and the operator of the universe) and because of getting superiority both of them started grappling and suddenly a mighty Shiva linga appeared with a aakashvaani that between them who would see the top or bottom of that Linga will be declared as superior.

(2) That Shivalinga was up to Ardra Nakshatra (As described in Vedic literatures) in Mithuna Rashi (As per Vedic Jyotish) and its other end was in Moola Nakshatra (Nowhere it is given just common sense) in Dhanur Rashi. Ardra nakshatra is ruled by Rahu and its presiding deity is Shiva and Moola nakshatra is ruled by Ketu according to Vedic Jyotish.

(3) So it can be understood that the Rahu and Ketu are the two extreme points of the divine Shiva Linga.

(4) Neither Vishnu nor Brhama reached the bottom and top of that divine Shiva Linga so the Rahu and Ketu are beyond the reach of Vishnu and Brhama. Thus Ardra Nakshtra indicates the highest glory of Parmatma Shiva within known limits and that is why in Vedic Jyotish Ardra Nakshatra is considered to be the Nakshatra ruled by Shiva.

(5) Astrologer with pure devotion towards Shiva (The deity of Rahu), Shakti (Parvati or Durga devoted by person under the influence of Rahu) and Ganesha (the deity of Ketu) can only understand the inner meanings of Rahu and Ketu.

ताम्रं स्वर्णं पितृ शुभफलं चात्मसौख्यप्रतापं, धैर्यं शौर्यं समितिविजयं राजसेवा प्रकाशम्।

शैवं कार्यं वनगिरिगतिं होमकार्यप्रवृत्तिं, देवस्थनं कथयतु बुधस्तैक्ष्ण्यमुत्साहमर्कात्॥

[Tamram Swarnam Pitri Shubhphalam Chaatmsauokhhyaprataapam, Dahiryam Samitivijayam Rajsewa Prakasham!

Shaivam Karyam Vangirigatim Homkaarypravritim, Devsthanam Katyatu Budhsthaiksyanyamutsahmarkaat!!]

विवेयुक्त पुरुषो के अनुसार सूर्य की स्तिथि से विचारणीय विषय हैं: तांबा, सोना, पिता के सन्दर्भ में , शुभफल​, आत्मबोध​, सुख​, प्रताप​, धैर्य​, शौर्य​, सभाविजय (शास्त्रार्थ आदि), राजसेवा, प्रकाश​, परमात्मा शिव सम्बन्धित समस्त कृत्य​, वनो एवं पर्वतशृंखलाओं में भ्रमण यज्ञादि कार्यों में प्रवृति व मन्दिर।

(1) Translation Of the Aforesaid Article In English: According to wise men it is from the position of Sun one should consider: Bronze, Gold, all the events about father, auspicious results, knowledge of self, gratification, glory, patience, chivalry, victory in debates, government service, rays, every rituals related to Parmatma Shiva, visiting jungles & hills, inclination towards performing Yagya and Temple.

(2) All the rituals related to Parmatma Shiva should be judged from the Sun. This clearly means that Sun represents Parmatma Shiva. Check your Vinshansh or Panchmansh Charts if you have Sun in 5th house or you have Simh Rashi as the Lagna in your Vinshansh Chart (D20) or Panchmansh Chart (D5) then be sure you have spiritual or philosophical inclination towards Parmatma Shiva.

(3) In the aforesaid article it is said that the Sun represents Aatmbodh (Knowledge of Self). In this way it is so treated on spiritual plane. Continuous upasana of Parmatma Shiva enables mind to understand the Aatma.

(3.1) This Aatmbodh helps astrologers to predict the events even when a horoscope does not reflect that event. This is very important to understand.

(3.2) Now I am sharing my research in this context. Check your Bhansh Chart (D27) if you have Sun in 10th house in your Bhansh Chart then you possess strong instincts of this Aatmabodh.

“Few Words About Kavach” – an article written by Vishal Aksh

(1) The Kavach was metallic casings worn by warriors in battle fields to protect their bodies in earlier times but here this term Kavach has been used as a divine casing worn to protect physical body, mental body and spiritual body.

(2) There are a number of Kavach described in Vedic literatures and almost all of them are used to remove the bad effect of evil configurations of Planets. The famous Kavach (1) Shri Ganesh Kavach, (2) Devyah (Chandi) Kavach & (3) Gayatri Kavach are asked to recite three times daily in the periods of Sandhya.

(3) Great belief is the requisite qualification to recite Ganesha Kavach and Devyah (Chandi) Kavach on the other hand no such qualification is required to recite Gayatri Kavach but the only qualification required to recite Gayatri Kavach is that the person should have an intellectual mind set so the Guru, Scientists, Astrologers and thinkers can recite this Gayatri Kavach to get practical benefits.

(4) Devyah (Chandi) Kavach is given by Brahma the creator to Vedic rishi Narada and the Gayatri Kavach was given by Brahma the creator to Vedic rishi Vishwamitra. In addition of being a great Vedic rishi Vishwamitra was a great Vedic Scientist who made a Trishanku Swarga in sky between the Prithvi (Earth) and the Swarga (Heaven). Vishwamitra earlier a great Vedic Kshatriya King Vishwarath who after performing Tapasya for many years upgraded to Brahmin by Kartikeya was known as Vishwamitra.

(5) The Ganesha Kavach when recited with devotion gives you materialistic success and also makes your body as strong as possible. All the people having Ganesha as their Kuldevta can recite this Kavach. The person not having Ganesha as their Kuldevta can also recite this Kavach provided Ketu is in their Fifth House in Rashi Chart or in Chalit Chakra or Ketu is in their Lagna, Fifth or Ninth house in their Vinshansh (D20), Panchmansh (D5), Bhansh (D27), Khavedansh (D40), Akshvedansh (D45) and Shysthmansh (D60) Charts. If you are an Athlete or a Player then you should also recite this Ganesha Kavach three times daily in three Sandhya without looking into what your horoscope says.  

(6) Devyah (Chandi) Kavach when recited with full devotion activates all the Rajyoga stored in your Rashi Chart, Chalit Chakra, Dashmansh Chart, Akshvedansh Chart or Shyasthansh Chart provided those Planets causing Rajyoga are well disposed in your Khavedansh Chart (D40). The Punneya obtained on account of its recitation continuously will also enjoyed even by your Children, Grand Children and the all the coming descendants.

(7) If you have Gyana Yoga, Budhaditya Yoga or Guru Yoga in your Rashi Chart, Chalit Chakra, Navansh Chart, Dashmansh Chart, Siddhansh Chart (D24), Trishansh Chart, Bhansh Chart (D27), Akshvedansh Chart or Shyasthasnh Chart then you can also recite Gaytri Kavach to activates these yoga .Continuous recitation of Gayatri Kavach upgrades your intelligence level to higher intelligence level. This Gayatri Kavach is totally Scientific as per Vedic literatures so no belief or devotion is required to recite it.
