Why Eight House Is House Of Longevity In Jyotish?

Preface

It was on Tuesday, June 26, 2018 at 23:32 (IST) I wrote a research oriented article titling, “The Legends Of Second House”……. and published it first on my website horoanalysis.wordpress.com on Wednesday, June 27, 2018 at 00:10 (IST) and after that it was also published on several other social sites. The present Article titling, “Why Eight House Is House Of Longevity In Jyotish?” is a smaller part from that Article which is rewritten here in a slightly different style. If anyone intends to view that article then follow the link: https://horoanalysis.wordpress.com/2018/06/27/the-legends-of-second-house-an-article-written-by-vishal-aksh/

***************

(i) Muni Parashar in Brihitparasharhorashaastra says that Eight House and its lord decide the Lifespan or in other words the Eight House is the house of Lifespan. But the reason is not cleared why that great Vedic Muni allotted Eight House as the House of Lifespan perhaps Vedic Muni Parashara wants from us to find reasoning behind it through our own intelligence.

(ii) To understand any branch of knowledge properly it is the reasoning which is essential. Several years ago in the year 1990 somewhere I have read that Second House is Marka as Seventh from Eight House (House of Lifespan) and Seventh House is Marka as it is Twelfth from (House of Loss) from Eight House (House of Lifespan) but at that time too I was convinced with this reasoning given by someone and contradicted it on the grounds of the then existing understandings of mine about Jyotish as mentioned in forthcoming paragraphs

(iii) My Understanding About Seventh House As Marka (Death Inflecting): I was of the opinion that when at the Time of Sunrise the Tropical Longitude of Sun and that of Tropical Rising Sign are same i.e. Sun at Eastern Horizon whereas at Sunset the Tropical Longitude of Sun  and that of Setting Sign are same i.e. Sun at Western Horizon then Sun being the Planet signifying Physical Body in this process of rising & setting indicates Birth & Death respectively and if the Sun is taken as Aatma it is for a living being and if Sun is taken as Solid body then it will be the existence and destruction of a non living body so in all the cases of living and non living Rising Sign indicates Birth and Setting Sign (Seventh House) indicates Death. This was the solid reasoning given by me on the basis of my common sense to understand why Seventh House was allotted as Marka (Death Inflecting House) in Vedic Jyotish.

Note: A larger part of Vedic Predictive Jyotish is based on Commom Sense.

(iv) My Understanding About Second House As Marka (Death Inflecting): Vedic Muni Parashara also says in Brihitparasharahorashaastra that Second House in a Horoscope also indicates Ratana which nowadays are considered as Navratana but in fact the word Ratna appeared in the very first Mantra of Rigveda in that a prayer has been made to Parmatma to get Ratna so I thought that the prayer could not be only to get Ratna or the reasonable meaning of Sanskrit word Ratna appering in Rigveda and Brihitprasharhorashaastra was somewhat else. In Vedic Literatures the word Ratna is generally used for types

1. Navaratna: These are well known precious stones associated with nine planets from Sun to Ketu

2. Fourteen Ratna: These appeared during great Samudra Manthana when Vedic Creation was going on.

(v) A deep research work on Second House in the light of those fourteen Ratna made a clear picture in my mind about the valid meaning of the Sanskrit word Ratna appearing in Brihitparasharahorashaastra and in the very first Mantra of Rigveda. The very first Ratna appeared in that great Samudra Manthan was Halala (Kaalkoot) and it was the greatest poison ever existed with an ability to destroy everthing including living and non living or even the entire creation and if this type of Halala (Kalkoot) comes under the judgment of Second House then Second House stands for Death inflecting or Marka House for all living and non living beings. Furthermore Second House is Fifth from Tenth house or in other words this Second House is an offspring of Tenth House appearing in every Horoscope. The Tenth House is also known as Nabha or Sky and this Nabha or Sky is also known as Shoonya is also considered as abode of great Sarpa in Vedic Literatures so being the offspring of Nabha (Sky) the Second House inherits Death inflicting effect and Jeevshooney (Merging of everything into space) from Sarpa residing in Nabha (Sky) and Nabha (Sky) so overall this reasoning given by me on the basis of my understandings about Vedic Literatures gave be the basis to understand the Death inflecting Powers of Second House.

Note: A part of Predictive Jyotish is also based on Vedic Literatures.

(vi) Reason Behind The Allotment Of Eight House As House Of Life: In foregoing paragraphs I have proved the Second House & Seventh House as Marka (Death Inflecting) through my valid reasoning and understanding of Vedic Jyotish and Vedic Literatures and Eight House is Second (Marka) from Seventh House and Seventh (Marka) from Second House and a Marka House to Two Extreme Marka Houses (Second & Seventh Houses) is a Marka Of Death or Longevity and thus Eight House is termed as House Of Longevity in Vedic Jyotish.

“Vrishbhanujaa (वृषभानुजा)” – an article written by Vishal Aksh

(1) The Sanskrit is a language which has the meaning of several Vyanjana like क (K), ख​ (Kh), ग (G)​, च (Ch)​, ज (J)​, प (P), न​ (N), ज्ञ (Gya) where क (K) means Who, ख​ (Kh) Sky, ग (G) Motion, च (Ch) And, ज (J) Genesis, प (P) Possessor or Owner, न​ (N) No and ज्ञ (Gya) Wise, Knowledgeable or Astrologer

(2) The Sanskrit Vyanjana प (P) when comes in the end of several Sanskrit words indicates the Owner or Possessor of the creature represented by that Sanskrit word. See below

(i) Gop (गोप) where गो (Gau) means Cow and प (P) means Owner or Possessor so Gop means Cowman or Milkman

(ii) Ajap(अजप​) where अज (Aja) means Goat and प (P) means so owner of Goats is known as Ajap(अजप​)

(iii) Avip (अविप) where अवि (Avi) means Sheep and प (P) means owner so owner of Sheep.

(iv) Mahip (महिप) where महि (Mahi) means Earth and प (P) means owner so owner Earth i.e. a King

Note: Nowadays the owner of Goats or Sheep is known as Gadaria but in Vedic India the owner of Goat was known as Ajap and that of Sheep the Avip.

(3) The Sanskrit Vyanjana ज्ञ (Gya) when comes at the end of a Sanskrit word it indicates the Knowledge of the amount shown by that Sanskrit word. See below

(i) Alpagya (अल्पज्ञ) where अल्प (Alpa) means Little and ज्ञ (Gya) means knowledgeable so Little Knowledgeable is known as Alpagya (अल्पज्ञ)

(ii) Sarvagya (सर्वज्ञ) where सर्व (Sarv) means All ज्ञ (Gya) means knowledgeable so a man of All round Knowledge is known as Sarvagya (सर्वज्ञ).

(iii) Shaastragya (शास्त्रज्ञ) where शास्त्र (Shaastra) indicates Six Shaastra and ज्ञ (Gya) means knowledgeable so a man having knowledge of all the Six Shaastra is known as Shaastragya (शास्त्रज्ञ).

Note: *A person may be Alpagya (अल्पज्ञ) but no one except Parmatma can be Sarvagya (सर्वज्ञ) someone told me years before*

Note: *Jyotish is one of the Shaastra among Six Shaastra*.     

(4) The Sanskrit Vyanjana ज (J) when comes at the end of any Sanskrit words then it indicates the genesis from the living or non living beings indicated by that Sanskrit word where ज (J) indicates Male and जा (Ja) indicates female births. See below:

(i) Pankaj (पंकज) where पंक (Pank) means Mud and ज (J) means appeared from Mud so it is Lotus so Lotus is known as Pankaj in Sanskrit.

(ii) Padmaj (पद्मज​) where पद्म (Padm) is Lotus and ज (J) means appeared from Lotus so it is Brahma the Creator.

(iii) Vrishbhanujaa (वृषभानुजा) where it has three possible meanings when viewed from three angles but most of the people knew only two so the two common views are written below first. See below

1. वृषभानुजा (Vrishbhanujaa) = वृषभानु (Vrishbhanu) + जा (Jaa) that means genesis of a Female from वृषभानु (Vrishbhanu) or the Daughter of वृषभानु (Vrishbhanu) means Radha or Radhika.

2. वृषभानुजा (Vrishbhanujaa) = वृषभ (Vrishabh) + अनुजा (Anuja) that means the younger sister of a Bull. The younger sister of a Bull is cow but elder one is also a cow but Bull represents a fully grown up calf so its younger one will be She Calf thus वृषभानुजा (Vrishbhanujaa) indicates She Calf not a Milk giving Cow.    

Note: It was around twenty four years ago on a fine day I was walking on a road and a group of Gurukul students was also walking on that road they were discussing about the Sanskrit word वृषभानुजा (Vrishbhanujaa) and its relationship with Shri Krishana. There was no Gurukula near that road and still there is not so I though they came here on a tour. I found their discussion about वृषभानुजा (Vrishbhanujaa) interesting and informative. The essence of their discussion was that Radha and Cows were related to Shri Krishana and still Shri Krishana resides in Goloka (Cow Land in Universe) with Radha. Nowadays several expert think like that and there is no harm in thinking so. Cow is considered as Mother figure in Hinduism but anyway I was not totally satisfied by their logic of relating Cow with Krishana by saying it वृषभानुजा (Vrishbhanujaa) but still I don’t deny this logic.   

(3) But before producing my logic I would like to write few words as an etymology of Sanskrit word वृषभ (Vrishabh) which we nowadays known as Bull and second sign of Zodiac. In Veda the Parmatma is described as One and Rudra, Shiva, Agni, Indra and वृषभ (Vrishabh) are his names whereas in Purana they are different deities. In Purana वृषभ (Vrishabh) known as Nandi is the Bull of Parmatma Shiva. In following Vedic Mantra the Sanskrit word वृषभ (Vrishabh) appears:

ॐ क्व स्य ते रुद्र! मृडयाकुर्हस्तो यो अस्ति भेषजो जलाषः।
अपभर्ता रपसो दैव्यस्याभी नु मा वृषभ! चक्षमीथाः॥

The above Rig Vedic Mantra can be written in English script as:

Om Kva Esya Te Rudra! Mridyakurhasto Yo Asti Bhesjo Jalaashyo।
Apbhart Rapso Deevyesyabhi Nu Ma Vrishabh Chakshmeethah॥

(i) The meaning of aforesaid Rig Vedic Mantra is as follows:

O Rudra! Where is your famous hand? That hand removes all the diseases and thus makes us healthy this hand is always devoted to bless all peace and relief.

O Vrishabha! The symbol of fulfillment of all desires! Pardon all the human being by removing all the sins done by them under the influence of divine Maya and bless all the forgiveness.

Note: In aforesaid Vedic Mantra Vrishabha is adored for the removal of all the sins done knowingly or unknowingly and same Shri Krishana speaks as:

सर्वधर्मान्परित्यज्य मामेकं शरणं व्रज।

अहं त्वा सर्वपापेभ्यो मोक्षयिष्यामि मा शुचः।।

[Sardharmaanparitayjya Maamekam Sharanam Vraj!

Aham Twaa Sarvpaapebhyo Moksyishyamaa Maa Shuchh!!]

Lord Shri Krishana says, “Leave all the Dharma and come to my shelter. Do not worry!  I shall remove all of your sins”

(ii) This is really insightful and connects Vedic Wisdom with Puranic Wisdom indicating that after the great worships of people towards वृषभ (Vrishabh) for the removal of their sins that lord appeared on earth as Shri Krishana. Shri Krishana was born in Vrish Rashi & Vrish Lagna clearly indicating him as Vedic Vrishabha Parmatma.

(iii) It was that time when there was no TV Channels other than Doordarshan and Doordarshan telecasted a short serial on Krishana. That was really a research oriented serial and in that it was clearly mentioned that the origination of the word Krishana is from the Sanskrit word Krishka which means a peasant and I found it valid as Balrama the elder brother of Krishana also known as Haldhar which mean a Plough Bearer and Haldhar Ji always held a Plough in his hand.

(iv) In ancient India a peasant had plough for ploughing the field and it was kept on the shoulders of the Bulls which means Bulls were the plough bearers so if Krishana was Krishaka then his elder brother Haldhar Ji also becomes the Bull or वृषभ (Vrishabh).

(v) Shri Krishana & Balram the two वृषभ (Vrishabh) had their younger sister named Subhadra so being the younger sister of वृषभ (Vrishabh) indicating Krishana and Balrama Subhadra also becomes वृषभानुजा (Vrishbhanujaa) who was also related to Shri Krishana.

Possible Reason Behind Allotment Of Unfair Results To Ardra Nakshatra Born

Preface

(i) As you all know that the Sixth Nakshatra is Ardra Nakshatra ruled by Rudra and Rudra is also known as Shiva. There are several who believe that the auspicious form of Parmatma id Shiva and his aggressive form is Rudra and it is the reason that person born in Ardra Nakshatra have been allotted unfair results in the texts on Vedic Jyotish like 1. Brihit Jataka 2. Horaratnam 3. Maansagri but how far is it true it will be discussed in this Article.

(ii) In श्वेताश्वेतारा उपनिषद (Shwetshwetaara Upnishada) Rudra is presented as only one Parmatma and Shiva is Rudra so the Ardra Nakshatra comes under the ownership of Rudra or Shiva. In Brihit Jataka the Ardra Nakshatra is called as Rudra Nakshatra whereas in Horaratnam this Ardra Nakshatra is called as Shiva Nakshatra and it will be further discussed in this Article  

(iii) It always surprised me from three decades that not a single Astrologer raised this issue. Vedic Jyotish is based on either common sense or on Vedic Knowhow.

(iv) The Ardra means the water vapors and it is used as auspicious in Durgasaptshati where one of the qualities of Vedic Goddess Durga is Sarvoupkaarkarnaay Sadaardrachita i.e. her heart is always filled with water to do welfare of other and Durga is Parvati the Shakti of Shiva even though unfair results have been allotted to Ardra Born people in Vedic Jyotish. This will also be discussed in this Article.  

***************

Chapter (I)

Ardra Nakshatra As Described In Brihit Jataka

(i) The following Figure show the concerned Sanskrit Shloka about Ardra Nakshatra  

(ii) According to Varahamihira the Rudra Nakshatra (Ardra) Born are Shathgarvit, Ungrateful, Violent and Sinner.

Note: The Sanskrit Word Shathgarvit can be translated as a person who feels proud in displaying his wickedness.

(iii) Several of you can opine that the Raodra form of Rudra create destruction bur Swhetashwetasha Upnishada described only one Rudra who creates, operates and destructs the infinite Universes and thus this logic is not sufficient to allot unfair results to Ardra Born people

(iv) There are several who opine that the Ardra Nakshatra is ruled by Rahu so but it can be contradicted on the grounds that in Brihit Jataka neither Varahamihira mentioned Rahu nor Vinshottri Dasha.

Note: Brihit Jataka was written several centuries before the writing of Horaratnam and Maansagri.

***************

Chapter (II)

Ardra Nakshatra As Described In Horaratnam

(i) The following Figure show the concerned Sanskrit Shloka about Ardra Nakshatra as described in Horaratnam as Shiva Nakshatra:

(i) According to Horaratnam the person born in Shiva Nakshatra is skilled in Tantrik Kriya, Brave, expert in sale & purchase, torture cows, outrageous & ungrateful

Note: In aforesaid Sanskrit Shloka of Horaratnam person born in Shiva Nakshatra tortures the cows and it should be noted that Shiva likes his Bull so how can the people born in Shiva Nakshatra torture cows?

Note: The Vedic Jyotish text Horaratnam considers Rahu so it may be said that one born in Ardra can harm cows and other creatures. But Shiva wears the garland of Snake (Rahu) so how can Snake (Rahu) hurt his Bull (A member of Cow Family) so this logic is also inappropriate.

Note: The Cow Torturing described in Horaratnam should not take to its literal value. There are many sins described in Vedic Literatures equal to the sins coming out of torturing cows.    

***************

 Chapter (III)

Ardra Nakshatra As Described In Maansagri

(i) The following Figure shows the concerned Sanskrit Shloka about Ardra Nakshatra in Vedic Jyotish text Maansagri:

(ii) The person born in Ardra Nakshatra is 1. Ungrateful 2. Angery 3. Sinner & Wicked and he is without wealth & food.

Note: In Vedic Jyotish text Maansagri the unfair results have been allotted to Ardra Born

***************

Chapter (IV)

Shiva The Pashupati

(i) In Vedic Literatures Shiva is also called Pashupati or the lord of Animals. The following Sanskrit Mantra from Linga Purana describes this:

(i) Starting from community of gods (Devta) ending to the community of ghosts (Pischaacha) all the communities coming in between are Animals (Pashu) and thus their owner (Pati) that supreme god Bhavh is remembered as Pashupati.

(ii) Indra (King of Devas) has a definite life and he also commits sins equivalent to those of torturing the cows. He always tries to maintain his empire by playing dirty politics so the superior community also acts like Animal (Pashu) and now you can also imagine for other communities (Yonis)

(iii) Thus keeping this in view Varahamihira allotted unfair resultsto Ardra Born.

“The Uniqueness Of Ashtottri Dasha” – an article written by Vishal Aksh

"अष्टोत्तरी द्विधा प्रोक्ता शिवाद्या कृतिकादितः॥२३॥"

- (बृहत्पाराशरहोराशास्त्रम्)

“Ashtottri Dwividha Proktaa Shivaadyaa Kritikaadita !!23!!”

-(From Brhatpaarasharhorashaastram)

अष्टोत्तरी (Ashtottri) = The Ashtorri Dasha

द्विधा (Dwividha) = Two Types

प्रोक्ता (Proktaa) = Said

शिवाद्या (Shivaadyaa): Starting from Shiva but here Ardra Nakshatra ruled by Shiva

कृतिकादितः (Kritikaadita ) = Starting from Kritika Nakshatra

Simple Meaning: The two types of Ashtottri Dasha are said to be calculated (1) starting from Ardra Nakshatra and (2) Kritika Nakshatra respectively

This is the uniqueness of Ashtottri Dasha which makes it differ from other Nakshatra Grahdasha. No other Nakshatra Grahdasha is said to be calculated in this way.

Note: If someone is born in Ardra Nakshatra his Ashtottri Dash at his birth commences from Sun from one way and if one has his Nakshatra Kritika his Ashtottri Dasha at birth commences from Sun according to second way.

Note: This Ashtottri Dasha of both types can be applied to cross verify the event and thus very much helpful in predictions and astrologically rectifying one’s time of birth.

Note: Astrologers should use this Dasha with serious approaches. As far as my experience of more than thirty years in the field of Vedic Jyotish concerns the Ardradi Ashtottri Dasha yields somewhat better results as compared to Kritikaadi Dasha.

“Apamritu Saham” – an article written by Vishal Aksh

Apamritu Saham is nowhere mentioned in Tajikneelkanthi though there are several Astrologers who use it but anyhow it is found effective 

All the accidental deaths or untimely deaths are astrologically indicated by this Apamritu Saham. 

The Mathematical Calculations for this Apamritu Saham is same for Day/Night and the Formula is as below:

Apamritu Saham = (Sidereal Longitude Of Eight Bhava Madhya – Longitude Of Mars)⁰ + Longitude Of Lagna⁰

In short,

Apamritu Saham = (VIII - Mars) + Lagna

Note: …… Add 30⁰ if Longitude of Eight Bhava Madhya does not come within the path starting from the Longitude of Mars to the Longitude of Lagna

The Apamritu Saham is applicable in Mundane Charts, Dasha Pravesh Horoscopes, Transitory Horoscopes, Vedic Annual Horoscopes (Varshphala) and Vedic Horary Horoscopes (Prashan Kundli)

“Error Detected” – by Vishal Aksh

Let me clear this first that about past three decades every Vedic Astrologer is repeatedly doing an error perhaps unknowingly

(i) Shodashvarga is written as Sixteen Divisional Charts and Rashi – Chakra as D1 or Divisional Chart: 1 but not a single Astrologer ever found the big mistake in it.

(ii) The Division is known as Ansh in Sanskrit/Hindi and Rashi – Chakra is not a Division (Ansh) so there are Fifteen Divisional Charts or Panchdash Anshah mentioned in Brihitparasharahorashaastra. It would be true if the entire cosmos was grouped into Sixteen parts only then Rashi – Chakra could be treated as Division.

(iii) If Rashi – Chakra is included then it becomes Shodashvarga as starting from Rashi to Shshtyansh each one is known as Varga so instead of saying/writing Sixteen Divisional Charts it will better to use Shodashvarga or Sixteen Varga and V1 to V60 to symbolize the Varga starting from Rashi to Shshtyansh respectively.
