Choice of topic
(Email exchange with Manibabu)
vy vy sadev ya nama Dear Manibabu, Namaste. Jupiter is in Aries in A vin Nak atra which means that B haspati wants us to speak about the beginning of everything. Birth, Health, self-realisation, and 'sva' in all its facets come to fore in this year. So how about Atmak raka: - Where is the tma? (Ligachakra and knowing Sarasvat ) - Bhagavad G ta and the tma (K opade a) - Chandra and tma (True meaning of J va+atma and H daya) - Introduction to the Charak raka (Par ara) - 8 types of Atmak raka (A tma) - The 7 and 8 ditya ( g Veda and Bhagavad G ta on difference between 7 and 8 tma) - Par ara, Jaimini and Mahe vara on the topic of 7 vs. 8 Charak raka - Digchakra and tmak raka - K lachakra and tmak raka - K rak a and its results (Dvada tma) - K rak a Bh va - etc. Additions:
tmak raka Bh va tmak raka Nav a

Where is the tma?

Statement: The tma resides in the H daya. The H daya is the heart and is what many speak of as being the Anahata Chakra. If the sages meant Anahata, why did they say H daya?
1. 2. 3. 4. This image is taken from google s image search and is a wrong depiction of some chakra basics: The chakras do not exist between the junction points of the three nadi/rivers but ARE the junction points. The colours depicted for the chakras are not meant for approaching the chakras, but exhibit the energy of the chakras. The Chakras are supposed to be depicted as upside down lotus-pods with the Devat seated upon them. The B jas given herein are not recommended for regular Ku alini practice.

H daya
Liga Chakra residing just above the Anahata holding the eight tma (charak raka)

The Anahata Chakra has 12 petals, and just above this (or inside this) there exists a Chakra of 8 petals. This is the Liga Chakra and the 8 tma rest here with one petal/ tma dominating over the others. Within EVERY chakra exists an eight-petal-lotus. They form the tube called u umna N which is like a river going through all the Chakra. This N i or river is also called Sarasvat and is worshipped in the g Veda with the k: pavak na sarasvat ... Chakras are like Yantras hence Yantra can trap or bind the soul Hence the most effective remedy against the accumulation of bad karmas.

Important questions
How can the tma/soul be a graha? Is it Param tma (supersoul) or J v tma (individual soul) or either? Isn t Sun the significator of soul? (ref. Par ara, Chapter 3).

Par ara and tmak raka

tm khyak rakaste u pradh na kathyate dvija || 6|| sa eva j tak dh o vijeyo dvijasattama | yath bh mau prasiddho'sti nar k itip laka || 7|| sarvav rt dhik r ca bandhak nmok akrat tath || 8|| Translation: Out of these K raka, tmak raka is the most important and has a prime say on the native, just as the king is the most famous among the men of his country and is the head of all affairs and is entitled to bind one (rebirth) or liberate one (mok a). Comment: The reference to bondage and liberation can also directly refer to cases of kidnapping, imprisonment, and release from the same! Point is that tmak raka decides to what extent you are bound to this world.

Eight Charak raka

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. tmak raka (self) matyak raka (advisor) Bhrat k raka (brother) Mat k raka (mother) Pit k raka (father) Putrak raka (children) Jatik raka (community) D rak raka (spouse)

All Charak raka are aspects of ourselves. I.e. D rak raka is not our spouse but how we are interacting with our spouse. Hence, tmak raka is NOT the self but how we are interacting with our self and which experiences are covering the souls presence in this world.

Dig and K lachakra

The eight petal lotus indicates the movement of pr a. This is depicted in two ways

The Digchakra shows where the eight tma are going.

The K lachakra shows who is blocking the movement of the tma, and whether the tma is accepting or letting go of Pr a.

Dig Chakra pairs (opposites)

Sun and Saturn form the pair of king and servant. Venus and Moon form the pair of unconditional love vs. conditional love. Mercury and Mars form the pair of communication and the break down of the same. R hu and Jupiter form the pair of doubt vs. knowledge. These pairs are opposites and seek each other in an attempt to find balance in their own traits, i.e. Mercury tmak raka is often drawn into battles indicated by Mars. Moon tmak raka is so often used for their compassion towards others that they begin setting conditions for their compassion/love. Moon AK is your best friend, but you will use them like a child uses their mother.

K la Chakra directions
The directions of the K la chakra are in two pairs:
The horizontal and vertical directions form one group of KENDRA directions. The diagonal directions form another group of KO A directions. Pr a moves IN through the KENDRA. This is the native in its receiving mood and which we are AWARE of. These are more materially focussed. Pr a moves OUT/leaves through the KO A. This is the native in its giving mood which we are UNAWARE of. These are more spiritually focussed.

Implication: spirituality requires giving, not receiving. Also spirituality is the opposite of material life and accumulation prevents spiritual growth... So remember to give as much as you get.

tmak raka placement

The bh va occupied by the tmak raka from Lagna is the burning point of the chart. [Imagine a neighbourhood where one house is on fire that s the bh va of the tmak raka.] Every decision is made revolving around this house and is what you consider as most important. This is what you consider as GOD in your life. Your decisions about this house all revolve around avoiding change to the house s significations.

tmak raka placement cont.

Bh va 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th 10th 11th 12th Sayings I am God King is born God is kula (family) God is my protector/bodyguard God is mother God is child God is enemy God is spouse God is death monk is born God is Guru (first Guru is father) God is karma God is punishment God is liberation sage is born Know a persons tmak raka Bh va and you will know the person. This is what is most important to the native, whether they believe in God or not. You can criticize a person for many things, but if you touch the tmak raka Bh va s indications they will never forgive nor forget you. Praise this and you are their best friend. From this house the native finds excuses for their happiness and suffering unfailingly.

Sun AK in 12th with Mars. Was titled Iron Lady when stating that the USSR sought world domination she liked the name. Believed that the Trade Unions (Saturn) were a threat (bondage) to democratic policies and was instrumental in eradicating their influence for an entire generation!

Sv and tma
Par ara and Jaimini use the term Sva or Svami at times to refer to the tmak raka. Doesn t that hint that tmak raka is in the Sv chakra, i.e. Sv dhisth na (sva-adhi-sth na = place where the self comes first)?

tmak raka vs. K rak

Par ara and the sages are not concerned with the nature of the Graha becoming tmak raka and hence only the tradition has given the results of the various planets as tmak raka as mentioned in previous slides. Why is this so?

K rak

a and its results (Dvada tma)

The tmak raka sign in Nav a is termed K rak a. Nav a shows the Bhagya and Dharma. The grahas show what has been undergone in past life, while the signs show what we are doing in this life! Hence, the sign of the K rak a shows what karma we are doing to the world in this life! The lord of this sign can be the tmak raka in the next birth.

K rak

a signs and marriage

Aries: will be unsuccessful in marriage once after which one wanders the earth looking for a spouse and eventually marries very well (refer Skanda and his bet with Ga e a) celibacy is forced upon the native even during marriage. Taurus & Libra: After great penance or preparation will be distracted by the spouse from ones objective leading to great lamentation (refer ukr charya and Jayant ) Cancer: will approach or be approached by another's spouse (refer Soma and T r ) Leo: will wander the earth after the loss/separation from spouse, until remarriage (refer iva, Sat and Parvat )

K rak

a and marriage cont.

Gemini: will have two spouses yet marry or support many others who have been deprived from their spouses (refer r K a) Virgo: will marry and be dedicated to spouse whom one suffers repeated separation or difficulties from (refer r R ma)

AK Jupiter in Gemini Nav a. In R i Jupiter is in second with Venus in 12th as Mercury is joined it seeking a family of wives. Infamous for his bunga bunga parties. Note Venus in 12th leads to marriage, not renunciation.

K rak
