PREFACE

T he purpose of astrology is to enable man to lead a long healthy and happy life. Physical and mental strength is the indispensable factor for carrying out one's duties and the acquisition of knowledge, wealth and happiness. 4th house of the zodiac, represents our happiness. When 4* house /4th lord and significator of happiness Jupiter, signiificator of success Sun, significtor of Mind (Moon) are strong one enjoys life immensely. The lagna and its lord should be aspected by benefic. When the ascendant or the Moon is devoid of benefic aspects, all the Raja Yogas does not materialize. Strong Jupiter, Venus, well associated Mercury, waxing Moon cause pleasure, happiness, success and Good health, elevation of financial success and achievements. Quadrants are the pillars of the horoscope. A benefic planet in the 9h house or an unaffiliated benefic planet in the 10h house forming Amala Yoga, helps the person to climb at zenith in life. It is not no possible to achieve financial solvency throughout life without a Raja Yoga (a relationship between trine and quadrant lords). Benefic and strong planets in the quadrants (1,4,7,10) and the trines (1,5,9) from the ascendant, strengthen it. Strong malefics (Rahu, Ketu, Sun,

Saturn and Mars) in these houses cause the Ascendant to decay or suffer loss of strength, and therefore, loss of health. The presence of many favourable yogas such as Pancha Mahaplush Yoga, Gajakeshri Yoga, Vasumati Yoga, Maha Yogas, Mudrika Yoga and Raja Yogas add to the general strength of the horoscope, and therefore promotes good health. Strong Moon, Sun and Ascendant offer terrible resistances against onset of an illness. An ascendant can be said to be strong when it is aspected by its own lord, Venus, Jupiter, Mercury or full Moon. Overall body is controlled from the Ascendant and its lord. Its strength or weakness has a major say in pointing to good health and therefore, absence of disease of a serious nature or sickness or ill health. Diseases, bad habits and wounds (ulcers, sores, boils etc) of a person may suffer from one to be understood from the 6* house and Mars. Author has always tested the subtle golden rules of the sages in real life. He was astonished to discover that all the dumb persons are unfortunate persons. They do not have any mentionable Raja Yogas with weak 9th house/ 9t lord. So it is established beyond doubt that diseases occur in the body as per wishes of God, for his/her past sins. It should be kept in mind that astrology offers an insight into the meaning and purpose of life and its predictable pattern of events and destiny. God controls us from heaven through a remote control procedure (see exp. 84) Epilepsy is such a diseases, for which there is no answer from the well qualified doctors (or physicians) AIDS, heart diseases, cancer, liver diseases occur in the body without any pre signals. The book has been tailored with diversified knowledge for the benefit of mankind. The horoscope of a person is believed to be the balance carried forward into the life from the previous birth. In other words previous existence is believed to be the cause and effect of the present life, which unfolds, slowly but steadily making sure that no one escapes the universal law of Karma, Generally the 5t house is referred on the Poorva Punya Sthan or house pertaining to the merit one has accumulated in the previous life. Maharshi Parasar says that while the 5th stands for amulets, sacred spells, learning, knowledge, success and royally, it also represents the fall from position .. Therefore when 5"/1 1 axis is afflicted, serious

diseases crop in. The 9h house stands for origin or father and future. If the 5th house represents our previous existence, the 9h from it, namely the ascendant shows our present existence. If the 5th and 9h houses are not rendered strong, the horoscope is considerably weakened. The native in whose horoscope these houses are afflicted is likely to drift in this life helplessly pulled by the currents of destiny. In any horoscope the lords of 5th/9th should not make 6/8 or 2/12 relationships and also should not be in 6/8 positions from the lord of ascendant for a glorious life. In carving an illustrious life, the lords of Kendra (Quadrants) and Trikona (trines) play a vital and decisive role. The strength of such planets are overwhelming. The truth and validity of Raja Yogas stated by sage Parasara is indeed praise worthy.

There are 5 chapters in this book. Chapter 1 records the history of development of medical science between 1300 AD to 2007 AD. Our modern medical science is only 100 yrs old. Structural formulae of important life saving drugs have been included in this chapter. Toilets can save 1.8, million kids annually who die of diarrohea. Influenza can be controlled through proper vaccine. Extreme low levels of lead reduces IQ and attention span, reading and learning disabilities, hearing loss and a range of other health and behavioural effects. On the other hand high levels of lead causes mental retardation, convulsions and death. Entire India is suffering form the risk of arsenic contamination of the ground water. Fortunately methods are available for the removal of arsenic using magnate. Earth may be a watery planet but 97%of its water is in oceans. Most of the remainder is locked in Antarctic ice caps or deep underground leaving less than.1% available for human use in fresh water lakes and river. Pollution free air, pure drinking water and distress free mind are the essential ingredients for a disease free life. Govt. of India should try to provide pure drinking water to public free from arsenic and lead using latest nanotechnology. Chapter 2 deals with the identification of diseases before its actual occurrence using the about 250 golden subtle astrological rules framed by sages of yore. Diabetes Mellitus has been discussed in detail in this chapter. Chapter 3 is devoted for the eradication of diseases using

natural fruits, vegetables, herbs, homoeopathy drugs, yoga, pranayam and through spiritual powers. Role of body, mind and soul in diseases has to be assessed properly. Strong Moon and strong Sun help to lead a glorious life in one's mundane journey. Role of vitamins and endocrine glands in controlling our health and diseases have been discussed in detail. As per sages diseases occur in the body for the sins committed in the past lives. Epilepsy, AIDS, lunacy, schizophrenia, anaemia, migraine, crushing of bones, loss of limbs, deafness, dumbness, blindness, thalassaemia, blood cancer etc occur in our body as per the statement of seers of yore. Longevity has been discussed in chapter 4. However developed may be our medical science, infant mortality can never be conquered. One enjoys a full length of life when the quadrants/trines are occupied by natural benefics (unblemished Moon, Venus, Jupiter and Mercury) and a malefic (Rahu, Ketu, Mars, Saturn, Sun) occupies either 3"d/or 11th house. Seven practical examples will justify the claim of the author. The author has examined thousands of horoscopes and was actually astonished to observe the accuracy of the subtle astrological rules framed by the sages of yore. All individual diseases with appropriate remedial measures have been discussed in details in chapter ,5. Scientific and astrological concepts of each disease have been provided with suitable practical examples from the research diary of the learned author. Descriptions of AIDS, cancer, ear and eye diseases, fracture of bones and bone diseases, lunacy, schizophrenia, psoriasis, coronary heart diseases, congenial cataracts, kidney/gall stones, jaundice, operation yogas, arthritis, epilepsy, thalassaemia, severe back pain, migraine, anaemia, epilepsy, drug addition, obesity, constipation have been discussed in detail. The healthy conditions of the body is indisputably the primary requisite for success in all affairs mundane and spiritual. How, why and when diseases are caused and how they could be prevented or cured were the subjects of deep study of our ancient sages, who by their unparalleled powers of observation, experimentation and intuition have left to their posterity the two invaluable sciences of Astrology and Ayurveda. Forewamed is forearmed. The author believes this book will help the

young astrologers to identify diseases long before their occurrence, thus natives will try to find ways to defend themselves before soaking in the oceans of unpleasantness. This book is very brilliant, very stimulating, is a sumptuous, meal that will whet the appetites of millions of common man and astrologers for maintaining an excellent health without medicines. It is profusely illustrated with 100 practical horoscopes, which should help the practicing astrologers to predict accurately in view of the latent principles of health and diseases coined by him most scientifically. Mechanisms of ageless living have been provided by the author. It should be preserved in all the libraries of the world and should also find a place in each house in India/Abroad. This book has been tailored using multi-disciplinary knowledge for the benefit of mankind.

The author expresses gratitude to the editors of Astrological Magazine, Banglore, Planets and Forecast, Cuttack, Times of Astrology, Delhi, for, providing much data for this book. He expresses tiianks to his student Shareejan Sharma, an executive engineer of NTPC for helping in preparing the manuscript. Any suggestion for the improvement of this book will be welcome by the author with stretched hands. The author expresses his deep gratitude to Dharmendra Sharma, Rave Publication, Sumerpur (Raj,)for agreeing to publish this book

1" December 2006. Noida Dr. S. S. Chatterjee

A fter the Bib Bang, new universe was created and after many evolution, modulation through nature animate and inanimate objects started dominating our mother earth. According to the law of nature every living being is mortal, even the inanimate objects have their mortality through natural depreciation. So there has the necessity of healing process, because every living being wants to live more and more. Even animals, insets find their own way to shake off their physical disorders. They procure healing ingradients through nature and their instinct. Human beings who are the most intelligent of the species have discovered healing methods and their own, and from ancient upto the present age have presented the universe with numerous ingradients which are termed as "Medicine" to remove illness from their bodies. From the time of the ancient Greeks, different kinds of medicines are used by people to preserve good health. Our jungle ancestors mostly used herbs to cure themselves from illness. After many progressive methods for decades, centuries the present medicines have taken their shape, entered in the global market. At present there are different kinds of processed medicines-Allopathy,

homeopathy, herbal, also naturopathy (mental healing). Doctors are burning their midnight oil to find new,and novel medicinal properties to cure the most acute disease from the ancient era. Astrology plays a vital role to guide people to live a healthy and disease free life. Doctors can treat a person when a person becomes ill, but an astrologer, has a greater role to play. An experienced astrologer can predict the future illness of a person, as soon as a native is born the life and take care beforehand. So far the utmost benefit of the 21st century people far and wide, I am presenting a book on Medical Astrology by Dr. S.S. Chatterjee, who is a foreign returned scientist in chemistry and also a great astrologer of the century. His book, "Advance Medical Astrology" is a vital guide for all as how to live with a sound body and mind. In this invaluable book there are food therapy, aroma therapy, colour therapy, herbal cure through homoeopathy, cure through gems etc according to the planetary position of the native concerned. The advance student of astrology will also find this book very useful in boosting their knowledge bank. This book should be purchased and preserved as an asset for the future generations.

CHAPTER,41

HISTDRY OF DEVELOPMENT OF MEDICAL SCIENCE

T he life was not easy on this planet only 600 yrs ago. The people used to suffer from various diseases for bacteria, virus and a lack of proper medical facility. Average life span was less than 35 in India. Though Hipocratus of Greece (460-370 BC) is the father of Medical science there was not much growth in the neglected branch of science for the next 1700 yrs. This is the dark period of the human civilization. Whatever we achieved between 1900-2000 AD, is much more compared to our achievements for the last 75,000 yrs Many intelligent persons were born after 1400 AD in Europe who eliminated most of the dangerous diseases like cholera, malaria, small pox (which killed millions of persons), hydrophobia, plague etc. Only 200 yrs ago the main killer diseases in India were plague, small pox, cholera and malaria. We understand from the novels written by famous Bengali writer Sarat Chandra Chatterjee that people used to die like rats in the nineteenth century from Cholera and Plague. Many people perished in frequent wars throughout the globe. British ruled India between 1757-1947 and kept this mighty nation under utter poverty. They looted our country. The author was born in 1941 and heard the

(20)

stories of standard living of Indians from his grand mother (who died in 1968 at the age of 100). In Bengal Famine 1941-1946, (artificially created by British) millions of Bengalees died in starvations Amartya Sen got Nobel Prize for writing a book on Bengal Famine in 1998. India is periodically ruled by foreigners from 1000 AD to 1947. Muslim invaders looted our country, several times, but did not damage our environment. British people did not allow anybody to earn enough money and forced us to live belowthe poverty line. There were hardly a structure made of burnt bricks. People used to live in thatched houses with roofs covered with leaves or straw. Poverty was visible everywhere. There was no electricity, no cooking gas, no cars, no schools, no hospitals, no qualified doctors upto 1947. People used to die in mal nutrition. Readers will be surprised to learn that electricity entered in every house in India after 1955. Today we observe (in 2007) mini Tajmahals are built with marbles even in remote villages. In 2005 AD BJP Central Government declared that India is shining. The average life span of Indians are more than 55 in 2007. Hundreds of persons above 80 are enjoying their lives. Govt. is providing facilities and proper recognition to senior citizens. A large number of diseases, from avitaminosis to tuberculosis, are most prevalent among people on poor diets. Well fed people who are not overweight are the healthiest. There are about 800 million persons on this earth who do not have anything to eat. In Ethiopia and in other African countries and in some countries in Asia, people are dying for Malnutrition. During 14th century to nineteenth century people in the Europe also suffered from various dangerous diseases. Due to poverty and for lack of education India failed to produce highly intellectual person between 1000-1800 AD. Madras University, BHU and Calcutta University produced many intellectual giants between1 860-1947. Since India was misruled by foreigners (mostly Muslims) there was not much progress in last 1000 yrs, and people used to die like rats/dogs. Thanks to God, situation has changed dramatically in 2007 in India. We are now proud about our IITs, 11Ms and All India Institute of Medical Science, Delhi. We hope

(21)

India will also contribute significantly in the field of genetic engineering after 2050 or so. Now foreign scientists are trying to find methods so that a human being can cross 500 yrs or so, which we feel today is not impossible. In mythology we find Ravan, Dasharath and other Indian sages lived for 10,000 yrs or so. Great progress in medical science started by Andreas Vesalius (1514- 1564) who is the father of modern anatomy. He was born in Brussels, Belgium. His father was a pharmacist, but his grandfather and great grand father were physicians. As a child he used to practice dissection on dogs, cats and other animals on his mother's kitchen table. He sțudied medicine in the university of Louvain in Belgium and in Paris. In 1536, war broke out between France and "Holy Roman Empire". Vesalius, as an alien became suspect and was forced to leave Paris. He joined as a Lecturer in Venice University, Italy. In those days practice of teaching anatomy was to engage a barber to do dissection while the professor lectured on the platform (barbers were also surgeons in ancient India and medieval Europe) and taking the in the knife in hand, performed dissection himself, at the same time lecturing to the assembled students in spite of the unpleasant stench. After working for sometime in Venice he moved to the famous University of Padua, also in Italy. There within two days of his admittance as a graduate student he was awarded his Doctorate in Medicine in 1537 and was appointed to a full professorship. Thus Andreas Vesalius, at the age of 23 became a member of the most prestigious medical faculty in Europe. Fourteen centuries earlier, the Greek surgeon Galen who lived in Rome had written a text on human anatomy, but he did so by dissecting animals. Therefore many errors crept into his study. Vesalius display the skeleton of an ape side by side with skeleton of a man and pointed 200 differences between them and conclusively disproved Galen. In 1543 he published his famous work, "De Humani Corporis Fabrica." It was the most accurate book on human anatomy upto that time. It had excellent illustrations of the human body done by a pupil of the great venetion artist Titian. The printing was also meticulously executed,

(22)

sparing no expenses, Vesalius had engaged the most reputed printer of those days. He secured a position as physician to the Emperor Charles V and later to Charles's son, the Spanish King Philip II. He died in 1564 when his ship was caught in a storm off the coast of Greece. Antoine Van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) was a pioneer in the field of microscopy. Leeuwenhoek used microscope of his own design, and manufacture was the first to observe bacteria and protozoa. He started his life as a draper. The draper is one who sells cloths and curtains and similar items. Leeuwenhoek was the first to observe the constituents of blood under a microscope. Studying a drop of vrater ui.der his lens, he was amazed to see it was full of life. They stop, they stand still. His talents were recognized by Regnier de Graaf, a noted physician and anatomist of that time. He wrote to Royal Society of Landon about him. After a 50 yrs of correspondence between Leeuwenhoek and Royal Society, London, in 1680 an honour, which every scientist covets, the membership of the Royal Society was given to him. He became very famous. With fame, a steady stream of visitors to his home also began, so much so that Leeuwenhoek regretted the loss of his privacy. He remained active till he passed away in 1726. His final letter to the Royal Society, mailed by his daughter after his death, bequeathed to the society, a cabinet containing 26 of his very finest and most beloved silver microscopes. Gregor Mendel (1822-84) was the father of Genetics. He was born in Henzendorf in Moravia in July 22, 1822, now in Czechoslovakia. He was a Moravian monk. He experimented with garden peas and the conclusions he drew from his experiments make the foundation of he modern science of genetics. The data and conclusions drawn from the experiments were presented in the form of paper and read by Mendel in 1865 before Brno Natural History Society. * It was published in the proceedings of the society in 1866. Mendel's experiments proved that there is something in the plant that determine the properties of seeds. That something we now call a gene, and the property it determines, a characteristic. The overall set of characteristics is the phenotype. Active observation, determination,

(23)

long years of patient research and experiment, and courage: these and the brain of Edward Jenner, fought and defeated the scourge of small pox, which killed thousands of millions across the globe. Basing his work on the country belief that infection with cow-pox prevented the contraction of small pox, Jenner worked for 20 yrs to establish at last his principle of vaccination. It rapidly came to be recognized as an effective preventive of small pox, and its widespread use has practically stamped out this once rampant disease. He lived between 17-5-1749 to 24-1-1823. In 1798 Jenner published his Inquiry into cause and Effect on the variole vaccine which be followed a year later With further inquiries and in 1800, complete statement of facts and observations. In 1810, his physician son died all on a sudden, and this loss and the strain of his labours caused Jenner to have a breakdown. He retired at Berkely, only going to London on important business. Jenner's grief became overwhelming when his wife died in 1815.Such type of pious soul visits the earth very rarely. After 300 yrs. of discovery of bacteria under microscope by Leeuwenhoek, almost 100 yrs after the discovery of vaccine of smallpox by Jenner, Robert Koch (1843-1910), Louis Pasteur (1822-1895), Joseph Barain Lister (1827-1912) Alexander Flemming (1881-1955), F.J. Conn established the science of bacteriology. After the discovery of electron microscope in 1935, three types of bacteria were recognized by Cohn rod forms (bacilli) spheres (cocci) and corkscrew form (spirilla). Bacteria range in the size from 0.2u to 2p (1u= 10*cm). Electron microscope is an instrument which can magnify an object 2 lakh to 3 lakh times, and their pictures can be taken. Here are some of bacterial diseases of humans : anthrax, bacterial pneumonia, botulism, bubonic plague, cholera, diphtheria, bacterial dysentery, syphilis, leprosy, meningitis, scarlet fever, septic sore throat, tetanus, tuberculosis, tularemia, typhoid, undulant fever and whooping cough. An antibody is produced in the host as a reaction to the introduction of a foreign substance, usually a protein, which is called the ANTIGEN. A unique feature of an antibody is its specificity for the antigen that stimulated its formation.

(24)

Thus, in case of typhoid fever, the antigens of typhoid bacilli will cause the host to produce specific antibodies. The later react with and inactivate the typhoid bacilli proteins with which they come in contact, but do not react with other bacilli or react more weakly. Anti bodies once formed may remain for years in the body of the host organism and impart varying degrees of immunity. Today we know that the milkmaids who had contacted cowpox as an occupational hazard acquired active immunity their bodies produced antibodies in reaction to the pathogenic virus of cowpox. In the development of methods of immunization against poliomyelitis, Jonas Salk and his colleagues discovered that they could take active polio virus, kill them with a poison called formaldehyde and use the killed viruses as antigens, when injected the antigens still caused the production of polio antibodies that protected the person from poliomyelitis. Albert Sabin used a different method of producing polio antibodies in the host. He treated polio viruses to weaker them so that they would not produce the disease. A suspension of living but weakened viruses can then be swallowed, and the person will build antibodies against poliomyelitis. Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) saved the mankind from a dreadful disease called hydrophobia in which the sufferer has a most terrible thirst but cannot bring himself to touch water. After vaccination the dogs could be bitten by mad dogs without the usual dire results. He applied the dog vaccine on human beings on July 6, 1885 and found wonderful results. He also eliminated anthrax which was a very common disease of sheep in France and found that boiling wines/or milk at 71℃ for 15 second and chilling rapidly all the bacteria were killed. This process is known as pasteurization which is widely used in USA and Europe and other developed countries in modern days for producing milk. He developed anthrax vaccine. Robert Koch discovered the vaccine for tuberculosis and cholera. Dr. Jems Young Simpson (1811-1870) introduced chloroform in surgery. Two hundred years ago, surgical operations were extremely painful and sometimes even patients died of pain. James Simpson started the use of chloroform in surgery and saved

(25)

succeeding generations from incalculable suffering. Dr. Simpson's views were accepted by the medical profession and the practice of anesthesia became common in Britain. He introduced a new method of binding arteries. This method is known as acupressure. He has made great contribution in gynecology and obstetric and his papers on both the subjects are of permanent value. Through his efforts special hospitals were started for the treatment of women in Britain, and other countries followed suit. In this way be became the saviour of countless mothers. Joseph Lister (1827- 1912) and Pasteur worked out jointly. His greatest discovery was, of course, antiseptics and their use, but he is also responsible for the perfection of the methods of stitching wounds. Hitherto very fine silk had been used for ligatures and this often caused poisoning to set in. It was Lister, who after experimenting with animals, introduced catgut as ligature which could be absorbed by the tissues of the body. In the early nineteenth century, after the successful operation the patient died from blood poisoning. He spend months experimenting in order to get the best results, and he finally reached the conclusion that the only way to arrest the spread of sepsis was to keep the wound in constant touch with some disinfectant which would make at impossible for any germ to live. He thus applied dressing soaked in carbolic acid. Lister's method of sterilization was in the beginning almost entirely by the use of acids but after discovery by Pasteur for the treatment of germs at 71℃, he immediately applied this method of sterilization using heat (boiling the instruments with water). This method is still followed in modern hospitals. In 1883, a baronetcy was conferred upon him, but he valued this honour for less than the Presidency of the Royal Society to which he was elected in 1894. he lost his wife in 1893, and finally took to holy order on lOthFeb 1912, last 7 years he was bed ridden, practically as a crippled man. A British microbiologist by the name of Alexander Fleming (1881-1955) was working on the antibiotic activity of a blue green mould in culture of staphylococcus growing on agar, Fleming had been working to isolate and grow the staphylococcus in pure culture. The Fungi form a large

(26)

and diversified group that contains 25% of all non-animal species on earth. There are 70,000 species of fungi ranging in size from microscopic to large 15 pounds puffballs and bracket fungi. They include the following toadstools, mushrooms, molds, mildews, blights, scabs, smuts, rots and yeast. All are characterized by the absence of chlorophyll. Among the ascomycetes group are yeast, penicillium, Aspergillus, neurospara and the fungus caratostamella, which causes Dutch elm disease. Pencillium and Aspergillus, both are blue green molds and grow on bread, fruit, watermelon, and a variety of other substance, like leather and paper. Aspergillus cause much food spoilage. Penicillum is valuable because its growth inhibits the growth · of bacteria. The drug penicillin is an extract obtained from this fungus. Fleming was examining his contaminated culture, and found that agar immediately surrounding the mold almost clear instead of being cloudy. The appearance of the clean area showed that the growth of staphylococcus had been inhibited by some substance produced the mold. Fleming isolated the antibiotic substance and named it penicillin, in 1929. In 1939, a group of scientists under the guidance of Prof. Howard Floaring, of Oxford University started working on the penicillin project. Dr. Chain produced powder penicillin. Commercial production of penicillin started in USA in 1943 and they applied this drug on the wounded soldiers of World War- II. They were astonished to observe the beneficial effects on this drug. In 1945. Nobel committee awarded Nobel Prize to Dr. Howard Floaring, Flemming and Dr. Chain. In 1944 Naksmann and his co-workers discovered streptomycin, aureomycin and terramycin. Today about 25 antibiotics derived from moulds are commercially produced. Some have their greatest effects against specific bacteria, others show a broad spectrum of action against bacteria. The sulfa drug, sulfonamide, sulfadiazine and penicillin have saved countless lives in hospitals and on battlefields throughout the world. Many discoveries have been referred to as lucky "chancer". Pasteur has told, 'chances favour the trained mind'. 8th lord in co-relation with Rahu help in inventions (Twin Eight

Houses of the Zodiac by Dr. S.S. Chatterjee). Control of Malaria : The ancient centers of civilization in Egypt, Iraq, India, China, Greece and Italy were attacked by this dangerous disease, which survived thousands of years, may be 1 lakh years or so. So malaria, chicken pox, etc. are as old as civilization. About 2000 years ago physicians described this dangerous disease. They described the chills and fevers, and the recurring attacks of the disease. They distinguished three intermittent fevers, which have many causes. They also noticed that the disease was frequent among people living in low, marshy areas. Somehow the stagnant waters of the marshes were thought to poison the air. As a result of breathing this "bad air" people became ill with malaria. The Italian words for "bad" and "air" are mala and aria. Although the importance of cinchona (a plant found in Peru) for treating malaria was recognized in the 16h century, physicians of the time knew nothing of the cause of malaria. In 1717, an Italian scientist suggested that malaria was transmitted by mosquitoes. He knew that malaria decreased when swamps were drained. One American physician A.F. A King in 1883, suggested that mosquitoes are involved in the spread of malaria. He failed to prove it. He identified the germ Plasmodium, which causes malaria. Sir Ronald Ross, a British Army physician working in India, carried out extensive research works with mosquito and sparrow. He found Anopheles mosquito was responsible for the spread of malaria. His experiments were verified by Italian biologists in 1898. By the early twentieth century mankind possessed enough information to control malaria. Sir, Ronald Ross was honoured with Nobel Prize. With arsenal composed of DDT, choloroquine and may other chemical substances it was possible to wage a successful war against Plasmodium. The UNO confirmed death toll due to malaria 30 lakhs in 1946, throughout the globe, Malaria, Dengu exists in Delhi and Noida even in 2007. Govt. of India should try to wipe out mosquitoes. Christian Barnard, (1922-2001) a poor African farm boy (South Africa) who made his mark on the history of medical science with the

(28)

world's first heart transplant. On a Dec. 1967 night he took the heart of Deenise Darvels 25, a motor accident victim and stitched it into Louis Washkansky, 53, a grocer. Washkansky died 18 days later from pneumonia, but already Baranard was being hailed as a pioneer. He went on to perform several more heart transplants, more successful than the first. He also started research to eliminate aging process. His publications include Surgery of Common Congenital Cardiac Malformations (1968), Heart Attack. You don't have to die (1971), the Arthritis Handbook (1984). In 1986 Barnard sang the praises of an "elixir of youth" ingradient known as GSL or glycosphin-golipids. Dr. Hargobind Khorana, Nobel Laureate (1968) developed a method for the artificial synthesis of genes (DNA and RNA). He shared Nobel Prize with M.W. Norenburg and R. W. Holley. Due to his research it has now become possible to treat many troublesome hereditary diseases. He got his Ph.D. under Prof. A. Robertson of Manchester University, England. In 1948 he returned to India and but failed to get any job. He went back to England in 1948 and went to Canada in 1952 where he got married with a daughter of a Swiss MP. In 1970, he joined MIT, Boston. He had been honourd with many prestigious international awards. He was awarded Padma Bhusan, by the Govt. of India. Let us examine his horoscope (See advanced predictive Astrology Vol, 2 P 40 by Dr. S.S. Chatterjee) DOB 9.19.1922 at Rajpur, Punjab, Pakistan at 15=30 hrs. Taurus Lagna, Moon 0°7', Virgo Saturn, Rahu, Jupiter; Libra Mars, Sagittarius Venus, Sun; Capricorn Mercury, Pisces Ketu. He was born with Parijata Yoga, a yoga for all immortals.

His work was assured for a N'oble Prize during Jupiter-Venus dasa and received the Prize during Jupiter-Ketu dasa, Yoga Karaka Satum changed the chemistry of 8th lord Jupiter. Jupiter, Mercury are his Parijata Yoga froming planets, so their dasa yielded most fruitful results for him. 8th lord in presence of Rahu helped him in his inventions (Read Twin 8* houses of the Zodiac by Dr. S.S. Chattarjee). Planets in the 11 house and 11t lord's dasa is bad for any native, his mundane journey may be extinguished during Ketu's dasa in 2013. We shall end this article with the biography of Dr. Samuel Hahnemann (1755-1843), the founder of homoeopathy. Most of us, at one time or the other, have benefited from the curatative powers of homoeopathic medicines after not getting relief from other systems of medicines. Efficacy of homoeopathic medicines has been established . beyond doubt. Hahneman extended the ancient idea of "the cures like" into a complete medical system for first time. He coined the term "Homoeopathy", from the Greek roots for 'similar' and 'suffering' to describe the new system that he evolved from the laws of similars, although many of Hahnemann's contemporaries in Germany attempted to discredit his ideas as being radical and contrary to accepted medical theory, homoeopathy was such a successful medical innovation that it spread throughout much of Europe and India in no time. The growing popularity of this virtually harmless system has continued to this day. It provide a safe, effective, natural and non-toxic treatment for may acute and chronic illness. He never got any recognition in his own country Germany. His wife died in 1830 leaving behind 4 kids. One French woman, Madam Melani met him in 1834, for the treatment of her skin diseases. They fell in love. On 01-01-1835, they got married and Madam Melani brought him to France, where he earned money, name, fame, happiness. He established 6 Homoeopathy colleges and got students from Europe and USA. On 2-7-1843 he left this earth forever. His first wife, Henrieta died in utter poverty. His all children suffered in Germany. Cloning technology could help thousands of people now dying while

(30)

they wait for a heart or kidney transplant. With in the next few years, research into cloning genetically modified animals could lead to a ready supply of donar orgains, enough to meet the needs of thousand of patients and paten and to the cruel transplant lottery. But the most exciting research, the medicine of 2050 onwards, involves therapeutic cloning : culturing and reprogramming a patienst own cells to make healthy replacement for damaged tissue. In July 1996, a perfectly formed, pure white lamb was born. She was christened Dolly. With no > father or mother, her very existence transformed scientific thinking and ushered in a brave new biotechnological age. The creator of Dolly is Dr. Ian Wilmut of England. Dolly died in 2006. Control of diarrhoea and Flu : Toilets can save 18 million kids annually who die of diarrhoea world vide according to UNDP. Efficacy of human waste disposal is one of the strongest determinants of child survival. Globally 2.6 billion people lack access to proper sanitation of which 1.9billion are in Asia. No access to sanitation means people draw water for drinking, cooking and washing from rivers, lakes and ditches fouled with human and animal excrement. According to UNDP's Human Development report of Nov. 2006, in access to flush toilet reduced the risk of infant deaths decreased by 59% in Peru, 57% in Egypt. Three out of one in India don't have access to toilets. Govt. of India should think on this project seriously. Diarrhoea kills 4,50,000 in India annually. Influenza (flu) is a highly contagious respiratory illness caused by a virus. It ranks sixth among killer diseases in USA. Virus enters the body though respiratory tract. Symptoms are coughing, sneezing, fever, body ache, congestion, lethargy. About 20 crores Indians come down with influenza. At present flu vaccines are imported. Each shot costs around Rs, 500/- and the effects lasts for one year. Arsenic and lead poisoning It causes nerve damage, skin damage (Hyperkeratosis-scaling skin), pigment changes. There is increased cancer risk of lung, bladder, kidney, there is circulatory problems Of skin. High levels of lead causes

(31)

mental retardation, convulsions and death. Extreme low levels of lead reduces IQ and attention span, reading and learning disabilities, hearing loss and a range of other health and behavioural effects. Entire . India is suffering from the risk of amesic contamination of the groundwater. (particularly Noida, Delhi, Bangladesh, West Bengal). Scientist at Rice University, Houston, found that magnetite is a simple, inexpensive option for removing hazardous element arsenic. Iron can form bonds with arsenic and they could extract arsenic from drinking water by simply adding their rusty nanoparticles, letting the iron gather up the arsenic ions and then removing the particles with a magnet. Researches are going on in Brownsville and at Jadavpur University Kolkata under the guidance of Dr. Dipankar Chakaravorty for the field applications. Hydrologists have set 1700 cubic meters per person as the minimum amount of water needed to grow food, support industries and maintain the environment completion over controlling the planet's water resources will increase among nations in the next decade. Middle east is the world's most water stressed region. Today in 2007, 43 countries live below the water stress threshold. Almost a quarter of the world's supply of fresh water in Lake Baikal in the sparsely populated Siberia. With 31% of global fresh water resources, Latin America has 12 times more water per person than South Asia. Earth may i.e. a water planet but 97% of its water is in its oceans. Most of the remainder is locked in Antarctic ice caps or deep underground leaving less than 1% available for human use in fresh water lakes and rivers. Pollution free air, pure drinking water and distress free mind are essential ingredients for a disease free life.

INVENTIONS OF LIFE SAVING DRUGS From the beginning of 20h century, many life savings drugs were invented. The term chemotherapy was introduced by Ehrilich (1909) and it now appears to be used in the sense of the treatment of diseases due to bacterial invasion by affecting to any material extent, the tissues (host). Many compounds e.g. formaldehyde (HCHO), Phenol, iodine

(32)

etc. are also active in destroying bacteria. These compounds are however, applied externally and lead to destroy the tissues; thus they are included under the heading therapeutic agents but are known as disinfectants. The first compound to be used by Ehrlich (1907) were organic dyes. From then onwards, organic compounds of diverse chemical structures have been used in chemotherapy. Compounds which exert various psysiological effects of therapeutic value, are

HN collectively known as drugs. Sulphadrugs: Sulphanilamide SO2NH2 and its derivatives have great antibacterial powers; sulphanilamide itself is widely used in medicines against :cocci infections: - streptococci, gonococci and pneumococci. It was invented by Domagk (1934). Sulphanilamide may be synythesised from acetanilide. Sulphapyridine was the first drug to effect cures of pneumnia; it is more potent than sulphanilamide.,

NH, SO2 NH was introduced

Sulphapyridine in the name of M and B 693. Sulphathiazole is more potent than sulphapyridine and less toxic and is used in severe infections. It is represented as

Poguanil Antibiotics: Many microorganirms, produced within themselves chemicals substances, which were exereted, interfere with the growth or metabolism of other micro-organisms, such compounds are known as antibiotics. In 1929. Fleming discovered a mould of the Penicillium rcies which inhibited the growth of certain bacteria. Research along line by many scientists led to the isolation of many other

(34)

antibiotics. Penicillin is the name given to the mixture of natural compounds having the molecular formula C,H1,O,N2SR and differing only in the nature of R ,

Chemical name R Pent 2 ehylpenicillin -CH2.CH=CH. CH2. CH, N Heptylpenicillin -(CH2), CH, M Amylpenicillin -(CH2)4 CH,

Many synthetic penicillins have now been prepared. It was only during second world war when penicillin came on the scene that it was tried in the treatment of syphilis and gonorohoea, with some success. Later a whole range of broad spectrum antibioties have been employed by the traditional physician to deal with the above two dangerous sex diseases. Streptomycin : It was isolated by Worksman et al (1944) from culture of streptomyces griseus. This antibiotic is very effective in the treatment Tuberculosis. Meningitis and Pneumonia. The moleculon formula was shown to be C21 H39 O12 N7. three nitrogen atoms are strongly basic and on mild acid hydrolysis, streptomycin gives one molecure of streptidine, Cg H1g O4 N6 and one molecule of steptobiosamine, C13 H23 ON. Aureomycin and Terramycin : Aureomycin was isolated from cultures of streptomyces aureofaciens and is used in the treatment of typhoid, fever etc. Terramycin was isolated from cultures of streptomyces rimosus and is very effective in the treatment of trachoma. The structures of these antibiotics are (Woodward et al I952) R HO Me R' NMe2.

Auromycin: R=CI,R'=H Terramycin: R=H; R'=OH Chloramphenicol (C1, H,2 Os N2 Cl) is very effective in typhoid and fever etc. Our modern civilization in medicine is only 100 yrs old. Author believes within next 100 yrs i.e. in 2100 AD the life span will be more than double compared to 2000 AD i.e. majority of Indian will cross 100 yrs and Americans / Western Europeans (for the cold temperature),will cross 80x2=160yrs, Infant mortality will never be conquer.d, because actually God controls our life spans.Those people, who have benefics in Kendras, will surely live for longer periods of life. I advise pcople to drink the elixir of life i.e. the yellow fruit juice for increasing their life span. An average American drinks 3-4 liters of orange juice daily. Author observed this thing during his long stay in USA. Poor Indians can take germinated grams, pineapple juice and neem leaves. The author has cured many patients from their diabetes. Take 50· gm germinated grams with curd, mixed with 20 or more green leaves of neem. Your are cured from this dangerous disease within 60 days. Those who have afflicted Venus, get this disease easily. Sprouted grams please Venus. (Venus is controlled by the natural white colour, Jupiter is controlled by yellow colour, Saturn is controlled by violet colour, Mars is controlled by Red Colour, Mercury through .green colours, Sun through Maroon colour like water melon, carrot, tomato etc. Moon through again with white colours). Fasting on Saturdays and Tuesdays cures many diseases, including accidents. Take less salt on Saturday, avoid the colours of 6h/8th lords. Know it from your astrologer. Actually 6/8th lords should be weaker than Lagnesh. 4 lord should be strong. It is the actual ruler of health and happiness. Make your 4h lord super strong using natural colour therapy. Only common sense can save you from many diseases. Many unknown diseases are cured with salt free diet. It has been known that green plants use the energy of sunlight to carry . out a process that appears to be reverse of glucose oxidation. 6CO2+6H2O + light energy chlorophyil C,H12 O+602 So plants are

(36)

increasing our oxygen level of the atmosphere. Do hot wipe out plants. Try to make green forests everywhere (like Noida), for increasing the life span on our sojourn to this beautiful planet earth. Clean water, and a clean atmosphere (pollution free air) will increase the life span of every soul on this earth. Let it be the goal of every civilized nation on this earth, make the rivers pollution free. Be a civilized soul. HIB Virus : it stands for Hemophilus Influenza type B, the name of a bacterial micro-organism that causes several serious, often life threatening illness like meningitis, epiglottitis, which is inflammation of the windpipe and a dangerous heart disease, pe ricarditis,. So in spite of several life saving drugs, we are equally helpless at the hands of destiny even in 2006. New viruses are created by God, for controlling human population. Attempts will be made in this book to find the types of diseases anybody will suffer and his mode of death Aids, Cancer, heart disease, virus causing pneumonia, sudden death through accidents, malaria, dengu, kidney failures etc are the greatest killer - Idiseases of 21s cent. . Malaria is trying a come back in India. It is impossible to sit in any drawing room of India in the evening without a mosquito bite. Mosquitoes are immune to Allout, Good Night etc., the i traditional brand of mosquito repellars, TOI dated 17June 2006 P 16 declares that still in 2006, environmental hazards are responsible for many deaths as follows: Diabetes 58 million, for poor sanitation and polluted drinking water, Lower respiratory tract infections 37 million due to pollution, Road injuries 15 million, due to poor urban development, malaria 19 million, due to poor water resources, housing and land use management, chronic obstructive pulmonary diseases 12 million, due to exposure to workplace dust and fumes,i perinatal conditions 11 million. WHO 'estimates that 33% diseases in children under the age of 5 caused by environmental exposure. By decreasing pollution level, maintaining 1 high sanitation standard and arranging pure drinking water, death rates can be lowered. According to TOI dated 24-11-2006, map of genetic variation could be the key of beating common diseases. The map looks

(37)

at differences in duplication and detections of large DNA segments, which can help explain why some people are susceptible to illness such as AIDS and others not. The consortium identified 1,447 different CNVs that covered about 12% of the human genome. About 285 of them are associated with diseases including schizophrenia, psoriasis, coronary heart disease and congenital cataracts.

CHAPTER - 2

SECRETS OF PROGNOSTICATION OF . DISEASE

W e are not far away from the date when DNA chips will allow us to assess bur own inherited - predisposition for certain diseases. We will eat those choicest foods which will be guided by the software. People differ in their genetics and metabolism, one diet won't fit all. One will be able to track the metabolism day-to- day to determine what foods one should eat at a given time. I am sure by 2020 AD, it would be possible to eliminate many diseases with proper diet. We fall sick mainly for improper food .Medical Astrology is a very vast subject. Even entire life dedication in astrology is not enough to tell the type of diseases that a particular native will suffer with 100% accuracy, it is because nature does not want to reveal its game plan so easily. Many new diseases appear which create havoc. The author has laboured very hard to collect the important yogas for all types of diseases, framed by seers of yore for the benefit of. mankind. Forewarned is forearmed. So if anybody knows, the type of diseases he is likely to suffer he will definitely take precaution to avoid it. By consuming choicest foods we can overcome many diseases. Take all coloured fruits, fresh vegetables, curd, fish, (avoid saturated fatty acids such as dalda

(39)

ghee), and some bitter food like neem or karela. It is possible to live 80 yrs or so without diseases. Remove constipation which is grand mother of all diseases. Dasas of highly malefic planets generate diseases. Author has talked about 10 new diseases in 2007 and has suggested remedial measures for avoiding them. With research mind and armed with two dasa systems it is really possible to identify the doomsday of life on account of various diseases (try KCD, Vimsottori, Yogini and Chara dasa). No sophisticated analytical tool of medicine can diagnose or prognsticate illness years before its occurrence with such accuracy as astrology can. When Lagnesh is posited in an enemy camp and afflicted, Lagna is also afflicted one enjoys a miserable life on this planet earth. Aspect 6f Jupiter in lagna is the blessings of God. Experience of disease is a sad memory. Whence come those mysterious inflnences, which change our happiness into discouragement and our sub-confidence into diffidence? One might almost say the air, the invisible air is full of unknowable, Conjunction of evil planets (Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu) in Kendra and 2nd 111h/6h 8/12th houses produces severe health hazard Conjunction of Venus with Ketu, Mars, Sun, Saturn or Rahu produces lose character in certain sensitive houses (2n4/4/7th/8h /12). For freedom from scandals and infamy 8th/12th houses should be vacant. For a strong health lord of Lagna should be stronger than 6th lord, and 4* lord/4'1' house should be strong. Retrograde planets increase longevity in trines/quadrant. Benefic planets in retrograde motion, in angles generate diseases during their dasas. Lagnesh and 8th lord if afflicted, give many sufferings in life. The 6th house is generally the best guide to nnderstand the native and duration of health problems one will experience in the lifetime. The 6* house is the center of all the six natural enemies of humanity viz Kama (lnst) Krodha (anger), Lobha (cnpidity) Moha (infatnation) Mada (arrogance), Matsarya (jealousy) . Aspect of 6th lord/8th lord in Ascendant makes one weak and vulnerable to ailments. Association of Lagna lord with 6/8h lords is a distinct disadvantage for physical health. When the lagnalord, 6h lord and Sun combine (look all three

(40)

malefics are conjoining in a single house) fevers are a regular feature. Moon, Mars and Sun in the 6t may produce jaundice, vomiting and colic pain. When the 6th lord is in a dusthana (6h/8h/12h) and depressed, in an inimical sign, combust or in aspect of a malefic, but the lagna lord is strong, then it shields one from disease, severe diseases set in the body when 5th J 11th axis is afflicted. According to Jataka Parijata, if Saturn occupy the 2nd/6th/8th / 12 houses the native becomes blind. Union of two or more malefics in lagna 2nd /6h/8'/11/12th are never welcome. When planets are strong, there are many Raja Yogas, when malefics occupy 3td / 11 house, benefics occupy trines / quadrants or when most of the planets are in their own sign sufferings in life will be very less. Mars-Rahu; Saturn-Rahu; Mars-Saturn-Rahu yoga in evil houses indicate operation possibilities. Let us study Example 1. Story of a diabetic patient : DOB : 6-4-68/5=3 0AM/ Culcatta, Pisces Lagna, Venus, Sun, Ketu, Mercury , Satum, Rahu;Mars Aries, Gemini Moon; Leo Jupiter; Virgo Ketu.

Here we find 6h/8th/12th lords. have conjoined together in Lagna which is a Mar formidable malefic yoga and is further 1 11'

afflicted by Rahu-Ketu axis. He became 2 Ven 10 Sat Sun Mer diabetic at a very young age, got married Rah

in 1997, got a son on 1.12.2000 and died Mon 3 J2 9 6 in July 2001 (during chidradasa of Saturn Ket 4 i.e. Saturn-Jupiter dasa). The dispositor of 8

5 7 5 planets in Lagna has landed in the 6* Jup house, making all the five planets very very weak. The dasa of any planet whose dispositor has landed in 6th/8/12thhouse, can hurt one's interest heavily. Exchange of 1" and 8ih lords have generated Dainya Yoga. Such people Will be wicked and mean minded and will commit sinful acts. They will not complete any task they undertake. They will suffer at the hands of enemies and

disease. All the prophecies of sages came true in his life. When lords of 1st, 5th and 9th are in bad houses like 3/6/8/12 during the dasa of evilly posited 1$/5/9th lords, the native will be ruined (AM, Jan 1966 P41). Saturn Rahu combination is worst and most baneful combination. This combination is baneful even if Saturn is a yogakaraka. But this combination is not bad in 3 "4/6"houses. Rahu, Saturn'inthe angles of 6h lord brings many set backs in life. Here we find both Saturn and Rahu is posited with 6* lord Sun in Lagna and Lagnesh has landed in 6h. Until or unless the Kendras are not occupied by benefics, it is not possible to run a long innings of life. Venus afflicted by malefics generated diabetic in an early age. When Virgo is afflicted by Saturn, 6th/8th/12th lords, diabetes at an early age is expected. One does not live long when Sun and Moon are not aspected by benefics particularly Jupiter. Karmic control planets have generated 6/8 relationship which did not allow him to enjoy his life. For a big, financial gain Rahu and Ketu's dispositors should not make 6/8 relationship. When a malefic Saturn is associated with any of the planets causing death he over sides all others and himself causes death (AM, Jan 2001, P 45). Here Saturn is his 111/12t lord and is associated with Mercury, Ketu, Venus all malefic planets for his Lagna. Hence he died during Saturn-Jupiter dasa. 11th lord in a dusthana leads to daridrayoga where one gets crushed under debts, becomes cruel, suffers from ear troubles, get caught in criminal or antisocial, is a liar and becomes servile. Kuhuyoga is caused by the 4'h lord in 6/8/12. this makes one bereft of mother or vehicles, friends happiness ornaments, relations, without a house with poor health. For a happy life in one's mundane jumey 4h lord should combine with a trine lord to form a Raja Yoga as per Parasar. Until or unless there is a Raja Yoga financial stability can never be achieved. When the ascendant lord is with the malefic in 6/8th/12+, bodily well being will be lacking (observe here also conjunction of the malefics are needed to produce a poor health). Such natives may suffer from poor health. Malefic planets in malefic houses generate good results. On account of this reason 6th lord in 314/6h/8th/11*/12th posited alone produces excellent

(42)

health. Sound health should be anticipated when this planet is aspected by a natural benefic. We will examine: the horoscope of Prof. R.J. Galgali, ex Professor of Chemistry, BHU (is the teacher of the author at M.Sc. level) Example 2. An example of good health : DOB 5-3-1927, 23=30, Belgaon. Scorpio Lagna, Saturn, Sagittarius, Ketu; Aquarius Sun, Jupiter; Pisces Venus, Moon, Mercury (R); Taurus Mars; Gemini Rahu.

Conjunction of Satum and Mars or opposition of these planets is not Ket 9 7 welcome. The native indulges in use of weapons, clever in combat adept in 10 6 Sat 8 burglary and forgery. He is bereft of 5 peace, pleasure and comfort and faces Sun Jup 1! Mon 2

criticism, humiliation and insults. Saturn Mer Mar 4 and Mars in 5th/8th/12th produces 4 Ven 1 3 Kemadruma Yoga, a yoga for sufferings at Rah

the hands of destiny in financial and in physical fronts. Saturn Mars in 12th produces dreaded criminals (it is gth from 5t), in 8th it ends the life in a tragic circumstances. All women (100%true) suffer in married life who have Saturn Mars in 8th, they also suffer from various female diseases. In 5h, it may deny a progeny. The native* will take many wrong decisions in life. Mars in 5th also produces Kuja dosha as it aspects the 81h. So there will be less peace in married life, should Saturn and Mars occupy the 5th house. Mars is a planet of logic, courage and action which is used destructively under the influence of strong Satum. The impact of Saturn in Mars results in intolerance taking hazardous and foolhardy risks. He develops a tendency of antigonizaing one and all. But if Saturn and Mars form Mahayoga or a Raja Yoga or that are many class I yogas in the horoscope (Parijata Yoga, Vasumati Yoga, Mahapurush Yoga, Akhandya Samraja Yoga, Raja Yogas such as Dharmakarmadhipati yoga, Adhi yoga, Gaja Keshani Yoga and Maha Yogas) the negative

(43)

traits of Saturn - Mars conjunction oropposition will evaporate in air, everything depends on the invisible lady luck (should have strong 9th lord/9th house), when 9th house is strong and is occupied by a natural benefic, a lady with afflicted 7/8 house will enjoy happy married life. Good things in life should be foretold if 9th lord is occupied by a natural benefic and 6* lord is also aspected by a natural benefic. Prof. Galgali was bora with a Maha Yoga (exchange ofaspect between 1"/4 lords. Lord of Lagna is aspecting lagna, hence he has a strong horoscope. The man born in Maha Yoga (see Astrology Nectar by S.S. Chatterji P 35) will get the blessing's of the Goddess Lakshmi. He will be protected by sovereign and will command vehicles, wealth and children. They are well dressed and wear costly ornaments. They will receive valuable presents from the king or people in authority. Prophesies of sages came true in his life. Though he was born in Karnataka, he received his Ph.D degree in chemistry under illustrious head of the dept. of chemistry Prof. Joshi of BHU. He has a 6'2" tall body with a great personality. He was the iricharge of NCC, Dean, faculty of science, Professor of chemistry etc. during his service of BHU for about 35 years. His 2 sons and 1 daughter are all medical doctors from BHU. Both the sons are working in our defence department, the daughter has settled in USA permanently. He has constructed two houses, one at Belgaon, other at DLW colony, Varanasi. He is completely free from diseases and, vices. He is non-smoker, non-alcoholic and a God fearing man. Today in 2007, he is blessing people with his accurate forecasts. He can tell the future of anybody by face reading. Parijata Yoga, union of three benefics in the 5th house, union of 10hh and 5th lord in 4th, exalted Venus, strong Chandra Lagna, strong Surya Lagna made him a very very famous and wealthy man of the society. Strong 6h lord, provided him a raobust health (weight 100Kg). He never suffered from any diseases or any calamity in life. He is a totally successful man of the 21s' century who has no regrets in life. The name of his house is Kashi Kripa at Belgaon. Yes lord Vishwanah of Varanasi blessed him with long life and enough happiness in life. He landed in Varanasi at the age of 18.He

(44)

has authored many books including "Mystic Crystals". He was a crystallographer and taught physical chemistry at BHU. In his horoscope we do not find the conjunction of evil planets in any house. The author is proud to include the horoscope his illustrious teacher of post graduate level in this article.

For any ascendant when evil lords are posited in evil houses (8th lord should be posited in 6th, 12th 3rd or 11th) and also 9th and 10h lords of the ascendant well placed and aspecting the evil lords of the ascendant (204, 3rd, 6th,817, 1 1th and 12") and evil houses, instead of harm, bad, negative results we find excellent benefic results for the native. Dasa of 11thlord causes immense misery and even death. Planets in the 11t house invariably brings may bad news for the native during their antardasa weak planets bring many diseases. A planet becomes unfavourable under one or more of the following conditions: a) placed in the sign of debilitation. b) Placed in the enemy house. c) placed in 2n4/6h/8*h/12th house d) debilitated in Navamsa. When 2/3 planet are debilited in Navamsa, the horoscope loses merit. Raja Yogas yield futile results e) When its dispositor is weak, ill disposed or placed in 6/81/12th houses. f) when the planet is retrograde. All retrograde planets bring sufferings in life. g) when 6/8"/12" houses of the planet are occupied by malefics h) A planet becomes weak when it moves to 3/6/8/12 from its own house. The following table will be helpful in knowing the most favourable planets for each Lagna. Dasa of weak planets bring diseases, infamy, financial distress and other various types of miseries in life

The moment of death is indicated by Chidra Grahas. They are a) Lord of the 8th b) planet in 8h c) Planet aspecting the 8th d) lord of 22™d drekana d) Lord of the 6h Navamsa from the Moon e) A planet who is Atisatru (doubly inimical) to the 8th lord. Any one these is capable of causing death. 2nd, 7th lord, 8th and 12th lords are all killer planets or major. Sometimes lord of Lagna give yoga and then kill the native. Let us examine the sloka

Sometimes, the period of a malefic can bring about death. Where it is difficult to find the planet causing death, the Wiseman has to construct the time of death with the help of intuition. This is indicated by the words Kvacha and Kalpaniyam. Saturn becomes a first rate significator of death and also longevity. Balarista causing planets are . Moon in 83, Mars in 7th, Rahu in 9th, Saturn in Lagna, Jupiter in 3"4, Sun in 5th, Mercury in 4th and Venus in 6t. when some of them are present in a chart and the chart indicates longer life, planets will cause ill health. 6h house Saturn aspects 3rd/81h houses and hence prolongs life.

Zodiac Signs and Body Parts :

Aries Head; Taurus face, throat; Gemini shoulder, arms, neck; Cancer heart, chest and breast; Leo upper part of the belly or abdomen, back; Virgo lower part of the belly or abdomen waist and nerves; Libra Kidney, private parts, sexual organ, navel, urinary tract; Scorpio rectum and sexual organ; - Sagittarius hips, thighs; Capricorn knee; Aquarius legs; Pisces feet.

The sign that is afflicted by the association of malefic planets will denote trouble in the part it represents. If theTord of the sign is also -afflicted, then the trouble will be more severe. Regarding the judgment of diseases, first the Kalpurush should be scrutinized using Aries as Lagna, More after this method reveals the truth.

Role ofhouse:

I" House head, brain and mind; 2nd House face, eyes, nose teeth, tongue, mouth; 3"d House ear, neck, throat, larynx, shoulders, hands,

(47)

arms and breath; 4th house lungs, chest and blood circulation; 5th House upper part of the belly, liver, spleen, gallbladder, pancreas, duodenum; 6th House navel regions, waist, the spinal cord, lower part of the belly and nerves. 7h House reproductive organs (uterus, ovaries), kidney, bladder, prostate, urinary tract, female sexual organs and breath; gth House Rectum, private parts, male sexual organ, blood, anus, external genitals; 9th House hips, thighs; 10t House knees, skin and bone; 11th House legs breathand also ears; and 12t House Feet and eyes.

When a house or its lord is afflicted or when both of them are afflicted by malefics, then that part of the body represented by that house will be affected or diseased. For example, if thenative's Ascendant is Aries and it is afflicted or if the lord of a Dushsthana or evil house is located there, then the native will definitely suffer from headache or from diseases of the head because the sign Aries or the 1" house or thé Ascendant represents the head. The nature of the trouble in the part of the body and its severity depend on the severity of the affliction, that is, on the number and strength of the afflicting planets and their nature.

Ill-health and diseases are caused by imbalance of Vata (wind), Pitta :(bile) and Kapha (phlegm) according to Ayurveda.

The planets responsible for Vata, Pitta and Kapha are as follows:

.Bile or Pitta Sun and Mars :

Kapha (phlegm) and Vata (wind) the Moon and Saturn Karaka for Vata (wind), Kapha (phlegm) and also bile (Pitta) Mercury. ·Karaka for Kapha (phlegm) Jupiter and Venus Karka of Vata (wind) is Rahu

A pitta constitution individual will have inflammation (meningitis) or injury (head injury) when the appropriate dasa and transits occur. A Kapha constitution will respond with increased secretions and swelling (cerebral edema meningocoel) and a vata constitution person with paralytic stokes or vascular catastrophes (cerebral thrombosis). The table 2 will show the responses of Vata, pitta and kapha in anatomical sites of diseases:

According to Varahamihir if one is born in first drekanna it indicates the area between head and neck, 2"d Drekanna between neck and navel and 3 rd drekanna shows the ones below navel. 2nd to 6 houses refer to the left side, 8th 12 houses refer to the right side. 3rd house rules the right hand, 11 house rules the left hand. Taurus and 2"d house rule the right leg and 12t house Pisces rule left leg. If the 2nd house, Taurus, lord of 2"d house and Saturn are afflicted the fracture of bone will be in the right leg (for right leg 12 house, 12th lord Saturn and Pisces should be afflicted). 4th/8th/12t house control blood, 2nd/6/10th houses control flesh and bone, 1st, 5h, 9th are bile producers. 3'd/7t/1it control our breathing systems, all of them are airy signs in the zodiac (Gemini, Libra, Aquarius) Kapha Ascendants are ruled by Venus, the Moon and Jupiter. The signs ruled by Mercury and Saturn are Vata; Aries, Sagittarius, Leo are Pitta in nature. 6t and 8* lords during their major or sub period or the planets posited in 6/8th house produce major sickness in life.

GOLDEN RULES OF HEALTH HAZARDS

1. As Rahu is the Karaka for Vata and the 5th house governs the belly, Rahu in the 5th causes windy diseases and acute gastroenteritis.

2. As Saturn is the Karaka of Kapha and Vata, Saturn in the 5th makes the native suffer from dyspepsia.

3. As 5th house rules the belly, a malefic planet occupying the 5th and the 5th lord located with or hemmed in between malefics will be responsible for diseases in the belly.

4. If the lord of the 5th house is in the 8th house with the 8th lord or if it is the inimical sign or is debilitated or is eclipsed, then also diseases in the belly are indicated.

5. If the 5* sign and its lord or the 5h house and its lord are afflicted by Rahu then it would be a case of heart attack. If they are afflicted by Saturn and by the lord of the sign occupied by

(52)

Saturn, then it would be a case of dyspepsia and indigestion. If they are afflicted by Mars and Ketu or by the lords fo the signs occupied by Mars and Ketu, it would be a case for operation or injury to the belly. Ketu near the natal Venus in transit, killed Mahatma Gandhi. If the 12t house, 12t lord, 12th Rasi or sign (Pisces) and its lord Jupiter are all afflicted by both Mars and Ketu or by Mars as lord of the sign occupied by Ketu or by both, then the feet may have to be amputated.

According to one school, the 5h rules the heart as well as belly, while the 4th rules lungs and its problems. If the lord of a Dusthana (lord of 6th, 8th and 12"houses) is in the Ascendant, then the native will suffer from diseases indicted by that planet. The native's health will suffer if the lord of the Ascendant is placed in a Dusthana (6,8th, and 12th house). If the lord of the Ascendant is placed in a Dusthana and the lord of Dusthana is in the Ascendant, then also the native will suffer from diseases indicated by both Ascendant and Dusthana lords. If the Ascendant is aspected by a Dusthana lord, or if the Ascendant lord and the Dusthana lord aspect each other or if they are placed together in a Rasi or house, then the native will suffer from diseases indicated by such planets.

If a weak malefic planet is placed in the 6* then during the dasa of 6th lord and that malefic planet, the native will suffer from diseases like colic pains, consumption or bile and seminal troubles.

The 6th is the primary house of health and disease. If the 6th is occupied by Saturn and Mars and is aspected by the Sun and Rahu and the lord of the Lagna is weak, the native suffers from some chronic diseases.

Rahu and Sun in 4th Atrophnic condition of the skin, in which

(53)

the skin becomes dry, inelastic, wrinkled.

13. Venus and Saturn in 8th In case of illness, ailment or disease or injury recovery would be longer and would cost substantially. The native may be involved in smuggling, trading for immoral purposes, mischief in import and export. 14. Mars and Venus in 8th They suffer from sex diseases. When Mars or Venus is the 2nd lord, the individual transmits own complaint of sex oriented trouble to the spouse or those who indulge with that person in cohabitation.

I5. Mars and Saturn in 8h They are vulnerable to disturbed digestive systems and become fat, more so in the belly and waist. Women having this combination must avoid cohabitation after completion of 5th month of pregnancy. Young kids, from infancy to adulthood have the risk of repeated falls, minor injuries but leading to bone fracture too. 16. Mars and. Rahu in 8 They have tendency or desire for unconventional sex. They are very secretive in their acts, actions and ambitions. They may commit cold blooded murders or some other similar barbaric act. Invariably it provides obesity even ordinary fever or minor injury makes

immunity; them exhibit great pain than actuality. 8th house is the house of

17. Saturn and Rahu in 8* - The lower portion of the body becomes overweight. Such type of ladies are frequently seen in the society. They do not have much recovery power. Scandals and defamation surfaces out in their lives.

18. Saturn and Ketu in 8th It leads a wound to go septic or formation of gangrene and in comparison to Rahu makes recovery very much delayed and expenditure oriented. 19. Sun and Mars in 8th Something extra care about health,. accidental injury. or multiple injuries (specially by fire,

(54)

electricity, fall from a height and attack by a thief or robber). · Illness and diseases including ulcers (and cancerous trouble not ruled out) loss of pregnancy. Blood pressure and purity of blood should be checked upto 60 yrs. It causesexcess bleeding. The individuals becomefirst victim in accident of earthquake.

20. Moon and Saturn in 8th When Saturn passes 4t/8th house of Moon, there are chances of an accidental injury. If Aries, Cancer, Leo or Scorpio becomes 47or 8th the injury would be serious. In case of Taurus, Scorpio, Leo and Pisces the injury, whether of one or both legs would leave a limp in walking as an aftereffect.

21. If Saturn is in the 6* house with Gulika are aspected by the Sun, Rahu and Mars and is neither in association with nor aspected by any benefic planet, then the native suffers from cough, asthma, consumption etc.

22. If the Moon is in a watery sign in the 6* and the 6th lord is also located in a watery sign aspected by Mercury, the native suffers from urinal troubles. If the lord of the 6* is weak in Lagna or Mars is in Lagna, the native suffers from trouble in the head or in the face and suffers from colic pains etc. One will suffer ill- health during adverse Dasa and transits. One will suffer ill- health during the period of the 6*, 8* or 12* houses and also during periods of Maraka lords and planets and also during periods of malefic planets. One will suffer ill-health during the periods of planets associated with Rahu or Ketu. Dasa of two retrograde planets bring severe health hazards.

23. Moon and Rahu in 8th Homosexual or lesbian tendency. They , also suffer from hernia, piles or diabetes.

24. Moon and Ketu in 8th Repeated diseases of digestive system, dyspepsia, dyslexia, diarrhoea and dysentry.

25. Sun and Saturn in 12h Illness, injury and disease concerning

(55)

· bone structure of the entire body, including the skull. Therefore brain injury 'or:any ailment or disease related to the brain is direct concern of Saturn. Medical treatment takes very long time and patient as well as the family must not become impatient with due or undue lengthy period of treatment. They love to become criminals. Because of presence of Sun in 12h, the individual gets apprehended at some stage or sooner or later and is brought to book in the normal course of law.

26. Sun and Ketu in 12 It causes mild type trouble to the eyes, hearing power, slight stammering, any kind of nasal ailment. It is 8th from 5th. So education of children suffers.

27. Saturn-Mars in 12th there is a chance of loss of the first child. It is 99.99% true. This combination is capable of causing injury of own progeny or other members of the family in any kind of accident, fire, violent clashes within family. It causes loss in the purchase and sale of properties. Eyes will suffer when Venus is also afflicted. 28. Amere conjunction of Saturn and Mercury (except when one of them is exalted or in own sign) is a sure signal for breathing troubles. *

28. Conjunction of Mars, Sun in Lagna is a sure sign of blood pressure problems. 30. Childhood .diseases : Life in this world commencing with dangerous disease is rather very unfortunate. The following unfortunate malefic combinations are rather unfortunate where the childhood is full with diseases, miseries etc. a. The dasa of severe afflicted 8th /8th lord (vimsottari) commencing at birth. b. As per KCD, the Dasa of Deha and Jeeva Rasi containing a malefic being the first dasa. : c. Ascendant lord with an evil planet is 6/8/12t house.

(56)

d. Lord of Ascendant in deep debilitation. e. Lord of ascendant involved in an eclipse at birth.

f. The lord of first dasa (of any scheme) j oining the Sun in the same quarter of asterism. Example 3. Deaf, dumb, cannot walk since birth : DOB 11-08-1992, 23=30, Ghaziabad. Birth Chart : Aries, Lagna; Taurus Mars; Gemini Ketu; Cancer Sun Mercury (R), Leo Jupiter, Venus; Sagittarius, Rahu; Capricorn - Saturn, Moon 7°10' Balance Sun.1yr.3m 9d

If Moon afflicts Sun, there will be defects, deformities and diseases Mar 2 12 pertaining to the physical body. If the Sun afflicts the Moon, there Ket 3 1 11

will be affliction to the brain resulting in mental retardation, Sun Mer 4 10 Sat Mon

lunacy, dullness, epileptic Ver 9 Rah condition etc. Thus the mutual 5 Jup 6 8 affliction can result in "unhealthy brain in an unhealthy body": Such a man can always be a substandard object in this competitive world. This is specific aspect of affliction to the Moon or the Sun. If the Moon occupies a Kendra 1,4,7 & 10 with respect to Sun, the affliction will be maximum giving Adhama Yoga, producing less wealth, less wisdom etc to the native, 6/8 relationships of Moon - Jupiter and Saturn Jupiter added fuel to the fire. For a glorious life Saturn should be aspected "by divine Jupiter. Many polio patients have Moon and Sun in opposition. In this chart the native is deaf, dumb, crippled since birth. Cannot walk also. He started his life with afflicted Deha Rasi Cancer dasa with balance 8 yrs 1 m 6 d. Here Deha Rasi is Cancer, Jeeva = Pisces. Both Deha and'Jeeva lords are not free from placement related blemishes. Jeeva lord has moved to 6th

(57)

house from their natal positions. I have already claimed in my earlier book "Twin 8* house of the zodiac" (Alpha Publication, . in Press) that KCD is the most accurate dasa in forecasting dooms day of life. As per KCD, the prophesies of sages came true in the life of the unfortunate soul. He started his life with Deha Rasi, this sign and its lord are afflicted by Saturn. Jeeva Rasi lord Jupiter is aspected by Mars (8* lord). Both Deha and Jeeva signs are afflicted by Saturn. His Deha sign is occupied ' by retrograde 6th lord Mercury is direct aspect to Saturn. When 678th lords occupy either Deha or Jeeva sign, Goddess Laxmi never visits such a person. Here 6h lord in Deha sign did enough damage to this unfortunate soul. When 6 lord is retrograde, litigations in life mounts. Where Kendras of 6h lord are occupied by Saturn, Rahu or Ketu such a native soaks himself in the ocean of litigations. These natives even visit prison. God , has imprisoned him for life robbing him even walking power, Afflicted Deha and Jeeva sings with their afflicted lords made his life a cupful of sorrows.

31. Blood is ruled by 4th house Karaka planets are Moon and Mars. When 4* house, Moon and Mars are afflicted one is sure to suffer from blood diseases. Blood cancer occur when 4th/8*1/12th house and Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces are afflicted. When 6th lord or 11th lord aspect his own sign, one's disease may be subdued by suitable and timely treatment. 32. When both Deha and Jeeva signs (as per KCD) are occupied by malefics or evil lords, one will have to face frequent dangers of diseases, misfortunes, miseries etc. One should examine Deha and Jeeva signs.

32. The Sun and a malefic in the 7th indicate disorder of blood vessels to the native.

33. Mercury in the 6t house aspectd by Saturn can lead in deafness

(58)

or ear related problems.

35. If Ketu transits the sign occupied by natal Venus, there will be insurmountable troubles in respect of one's health and happiness.

36. Should all the three fiery sign (Aries, Leo, Sagittarius) be occupied by malefics and or retrograde benefics, the subject will be exposed to danger though fire.

37. In case of birth in Scorpio ascendant, Rahu in 9th house and Moon in 7th house will cause delirious (vitiation of three bodily homours, ledge to possible death) during childhood.

38. Rahu and Jupiter in separate trines from the ascendant will cause serious debacles in Rahu dasa or Jupiter dasa.

237. The lord of the ascendant in the 8* house in aspect to the 6* lord will lead to troubles through one's kinsfolk (like family divisions and property disputes).

238. If both the lord of the ascendant and the 6th house are in the ascendant, the person will be troubled by his kinsfolk. 239 Should the lord of the 6th house be retrograde in the 8* house, or be in an inimical sign or in debility in the 8* house, the person will have many injuries on his body, but will have a large band ofkinsfolk. 240. One's kinsmen will be destroyed if the 6 lord is with a malefic, or be in debilitation, inimical sign, or combustion, but in malefic divisions and without a benefic's aspect.

239. If thelord of the 6th house is connected with Rahu or Ketu, there wi 11 be danger through snakes.

Ten most dangerous diseases of the 21" century which doctors fail to identify,

Ketu in Ascendant and Neptune, Uranus, Pluto in the 8* produce unknown diseases in the body. I shall describe most ten dangerous diseases:

1. Hepatitis C : Anyone who has blood transfusion may be attached by this dangers virus. Severe stomach crams, bleeding, pain or obstraction, vomiting are the symptoms, Late stageseriousliver infectionis found.

2. Lupus : The common symptoms are arthritis hairfall and skin getting tanned easily. Pinkish red butterfly rashes develop on the face.

3. Celiac diseases : Abdominal cramping and bloating, gas diarrhoea or constipation, unexplained anemia and mysterious weight loss

(76)

4. Colorectal cancer : Depression, hair loss, dry skin, horse voice, weight gain, women have 5 times more risk.

5. Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) : Light headache, nausea, vomiting, blurring of vision, they feel they are whirling.

6. Chlamydia : In case of females bleeding between periods, in case of males burning during nrination or pain or swelling of testes.

7. Sleep Apnoea : Unexplained day time sleepiness is the key sign.

8. Anenrysm : Loss of consciousness blurred vision, vomiting etc. are symptoms

9. Flnrosis : Those who drink black tea catches this disease. Milk in calcinm binds with fluoride of tea. Fluoride patients should take fruits, vegetables and diary products. 10. Hypothyroidism : It is a disease of ladies during pregnancy. Under active thyroid causes . this disease, Weight gain, tiredness, memory lapses etc are the symptoms. It is due to less thyroid hormone which affects metabolism.

Use the Gems of Ascendant lord, 4th lord and cat's eye for speedy recovery. Constipation should be removed. Pranayam and Yogas will help. I shall describe now an unformaturate case.

and in Aug 2006 she is firing for her life. First, I shall describe the mechanisms of Diabetes Mellitus: About 250 millions of people are suffering from diabetes in 2007, throughout the globe. Treatment should be started with drugs like sulfonylurea, thiazolidinediones and metaformin. Last stage is insulin. Once insulin therapy starts, it has to continue for life and that leads to allergy and physical weakness (TOI, 20* Aug. 2006 P5). The blood of man contains a trace of glucose about 0.07-0.12 percent. This trace, however is vital for the life of the cells. If the amount drops to 0.03 percent (30ppm) convulsions and death with result. In the disease diabetes mellitus, the concentration of glucose in the blood, reaches a level above 0.14 percent, and again death may result. In Greek, diabetes = 'to go through', Mellitus = honey i.e. the patient passes a large amount of urine containing sugar. The disease is as old as civilization i.e. about 7000 yrs. Old. The pancreases is both an exocrine and an endocrine gland since it produces enzymes for digestion as well as important hormones. One hormone is insulin produced by the islets of lagerhans. Insulin, a protein material, helps to govem the rate at which blood sugar is absorbed and oxidized in the cells and stimulates the liver to produce more glycogen or sugar reserves. And excess of insulin in the blood increases the rate of oxidation of sugar and as the sugar disappears, there is a serious drop in blood sugar. The 2ad hormone produced by the pancreas, glucagons, a single peptide chain of 29 amino acids, stimulates the liver to increase the amount of a liver enzyme, phosphorus lose, which acts on liver glycogen and converts it to glucose. The two enzymes insulin and glucagons thus work together to maintain blood sugar balance. As the sugar levels rises, the kidneys take the extra load to excrete more and more sugar. In the advanced of diabetes mellitus, the patient will lapse into coma and die shortly after wards unless treated with insulin. Insulin was invented by the Canadian Doctors Dr. C.H. Best and Dr. F.G Banting in 1922. It is a major killer disease of the present century.

Symptoms of diabetes are: · Sudden loss of energy and weakness in the body.

(80)

Excess thirst and frequency of urination

Excessive hunger

Sudden and unexpected loss of weight

Boils and other suds infections in the body that do not disappear Unexplained pains (neuritis).

Depression and obesity. Diabetes is a silent killer that kills one person every 10 seconds. Worldwide 3.2 million deaths are attributable to diabetes every year. At least one in ten deaths . among adults between 35-64 years old is due to diabetes. In India diabetes is growing at an epidemic rate in 2007. Hectic lifestyle and stressful schedules are causing it to strike early.

Control of diabetes : Saturated fats from animals, hydrogenated fats should be avoided. Use vegetable oils, nuts, fish and avocados. Eat curd and fresh fruits. About 50 gms. of germinated gram should be taken with every meal. Karela juice and Neem leaf juice are used in India for centuries. White coral, white sapphire and pearl can cure diabetes. Coffee reduces the risk of diabetes. It contains potassium, , magnesium and anti oxidants that might improve the body's response I to insulin. Exercise is an essential aspect of diabetes management. Daily walks for at least 30 minutes in order to check weight, as obesity is the major causes of diabetes. A spoonful of Methi powder (fenugreek) with a low fat.milk daily for at least two months will help 'the blood sugars under control. Bhindi (Okra) soup daily will keep you healthy. Drumsticks (saijan ki phalli) and Kantola are very very useful for diabetic patients.

Astrological background of diabetes : Venus is the incharge of all glands. Jupiter provides recovery power. Sun and Moon are the hylegs of life. Sun is the Karaka for. all stomach and bowels disease. Weak I Moon does harm for the urinary derangements. Weak Jupiter, causes liver, kidney and spleen trouble and urinary infection and diabetes. When Sun, Moon, Venus, Jupiter, Virgo sign (6th house of the Zodiac)

(81)

and sixth house from Lagna are afflicted, they all precipitate to severe diabetes. When Sun and Moon are weak one suffers in the general scheme of life. When Jupiter and Sun are weak, they are the most unfortunate persons, because lady luck is governed. in life by Jupiter and Sun. Strong Jupiter nullifines the thousands of blemishes of the horoscope. In the present case her 6"/12" axis is heavily afflicted by Mars Saturn, Virgo is afflicted by Saturn; Moon is afflicted by Sun and Ketu; Sun is afflicted by Rahu. Jupiter is placed in any enemy camp. Jupiter is her 8* lord. 8* lord in a Kendra destroys health. upiter is aspecting Virgo and her 4th house. 4* lord is squared by Rahu Ketu axis weak 4th house/4* lord, weak lord of Lagna (lord of Lagna is placed in 180° away from its natal position in any camp, so weak), weak Moon, weak Jupiter, Venus hemmed between malefics destroyed her during Sun's Dasa. Dasa of any planet hemmed between malefics in 8th house cannot be good. She was pulled down by the diabetes from the age of 12, (Read Twin 8* houses of the zodiac by Dr. S.S. Chatterjee)she went in coma during March 2006 (Sun-Ketu dasa). Sun's dasa will terminate her life, because its dispositor has landed in the 12h house. In KCD diagram we find Virgo = Jeeva, Libra= Deha. For the horoscopic indication to flourish in life Deha and Jeeva lords should be well placed from their natal positions. A lord becomes weak, when it moves to 3/6/8/12 from its own sign. Surprisingly her both Deha and Jeeva lords have moved to the 6* house from their natal positions. She opened her life with 1" cycle 3yr 10m 13d. Dhanus, Vrishchika and Tula followed. In the dasa of Vrischika she was trapped. Mars has moved to the 3rd house from its natal position and is highly afflicted by Saturn. she is enjoyed Libra from 17-1-1996. Dasa of any sign containing node brings only severe set backs in life. Dasa lord Venus is hemmed between malefics and has moved to the 6h place from its natal position. When both Deha and Jeeva signs are afflicted, generally brings sorrow, interruption and severe health hazards. 2/12 relationships of Deha and Jeeva signs is most dangerous, and is harmful for health, freedom for litigation and the like. Tula dasa will terminate her mundane journey. 8*

(82)

house is the house of immunity. This is hemmed between malefics. If 8th house is spoilt, the other relevant houses and planets will not find it easy to undo the damage. Author has found that KCD dasa i s superior to Vimsuttori dasa in forecasting the doomsday of life. Example 5. Life long health problems of a married lady : DOB 17-08-1968, 5=03 AM, Amritsar, Cancer-Ascendant, Mars; Leo Sun 0'43' Mercury, Jupiter, Venus; Virgo Ketu; Pisces Rahu; Aires Sat (R), Taurus, Moon. She had headache, poor eyesight, throat Jup Ven Sun irritation, poor hearing power and synus Mer 3 5 problems from class VII. In the long run Ket 6 Mar 2 Mon she got married, got a son (16yrs in 2006), 4

D (14) but never recovered from health 7 J Sat 10 problems. Look, her Lagna is occupied by debilitated Mars, 10* house (sky) is 8 12

occupied by debilitated and retrograde 9 11

Saturn. Rahu-Ketu axis has forced a Kalsarpa Yoga for. her. Only Mudrika Yoga (Mutual angle of Moon, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus), Gajakeshri yoga has kept her beyond wants. Her husband is a prosperous businessman. She was born in Apasaya Group A, 1" Quarter. Deha = Cancer, Jeeva = Sagittarius. When Deha & Jeeva signs are occupied by debilitated retrograde, combust planets or 6th/8t/12 lord, the native suffers in the general scheme of life. Malefic planets damage the horoscope to the maximum extent 6/8 relationships of Deha and Jeeva signs also indicate struggles in life. As per sage parasar when Kendras are not occupied by a single benefic planet a native fails to maintain excellent health. A malefic in Lagna always spells trouble for the native. 3'd lord Mercury is hemmed between malefics, 3rd lord of the Zodiac is the same Mercury. Because 3rd house is occupied by Ketu, 3"d lord is afflicted by 6* lord Jupiter and is combust, it produced ear problems, cynus problems, throat irritation etc. Sun and Venus

(83)

hemmed between malefics produced eye problems. Sun and Moon are giver of light to the eyes. Venus is the overall incharge of eyes. In Navamsa, both Sun and Moon have conjoined with Saturn, which added fuel to the fire. Her fourth house is spoiled by the joint aspects of Saturn + Mars. These joint aspects are highly dangerous and annihilates the house, wherever they concentrate their forces. Since health, mental peace are governed mainly from 4* house and Jupiter, she lost health, happiness of mind because 4* lord and Jupiter are hemmed between malefics. Aspect of 6h lord on Jupiter is a grisly combination. and is to be feared. When a planet is posited in its own house and is afflicted in brings headache (advanced predictive Astrology Vol 2 P 246 by Dr. S. S. Chatterjee). Here Sun is an infant planet, is posited in its own house, hemmed between malefics and afflicted by 6th lord Jupiter. When the sign Aires or Lagna is afflicted, one gets headache. Her both Ascendant and Aries are spoiled by malefic planets.

The readers will be very happy to note that Indian spices and paprika, all of which are used in curries are particularly rich source of salicylic acid. Neither does Indian food cause such as internal bleeding and ulcers. Curcumin, the component of turmeric that gives curry its distinctive yellow colour, is primarily responsible for its healthy effect. Regular aspirin prevents colon cancer because of its apparent ability to reduce inflammation that occurs during a tumours development. Mushrooms, also prevents the formation of tumour in the abdomen (vide TOI P 36, 23-8-2006). Curry powder removes headache very easily. Take vindaloo using the hottest curry powder available in the market.

TIMING DISEASES

The Vimsottari Dasa also known as Udu Dasa is an unique method developed by Sage Parasara about six thousand years ago is an unparalled method for forecasting success and failures; fortunes and Misfortune trials and tribunals; good periods and bad periods in

(84)

everybody's life as well as in National Affaris. Of the different systems in prognosticating the future (such as Chara Dasa, Kala Chakra Dasa, Jaimini Dasa, Varsha Phala Dasa etc.) the Vimsottari Dasa system is the most popular and stood test of time in this respect. For timing the event, from the natal chart the strength of the planets whose dasa and Bhukti are running are to be judged with reference to the Karakatwa, ownership, association, aspect, the house they occupy from the ascendant, auspicious or inauspicious, exaltation or debilitation, combust or retrograde, benefic or malefic, the relation between the Dasa planet and the Bhukti Dasa planet etc. Then the transit results of the planets at the time of assessment are to be judged. Dasa results refer to the hour and the Gochara (Transit) results to the minute hand of a clock. When the native passes through benefic dasa and antardasa, the native may not suffer at all, or if it occurs, it will be mild. The onset of the malady to be expected during the Dasa Bhukti of Maraka Planets. Planets who occupy the 2nd and 7* houses or in association with the 2n4/7th lords are killer or Maraka planets. The planets in the transit give rise to diseases when malefics afflict the natal planets and bhavas. Sufferings are generally caused when the trinal places or trines from the Lagna Lord are occupied by the lords of 8th and 12" houses or by Rahu or Ketu or if the 4th, 6th or 8th house from the Dasa lord, there are malefic, debilitated or combust planets located. Lords of 2nd and 7* are considered as 'death inflicting planets' and bring about generally during their dasa and sub-periods serious physical trouble', particularly when these planets are weak and are associated with other similar bad houses or their lords. For example, if the lord of the 2"d or 7* house is weak and is placed in 6th, 8th and 12th house, they will be their periods cause death or serious trouble. According to J.N. Bhasin (Medical Astrology, P 152), a planet in the 4th house and weak, in its sub period gives disease if the main dasa lord is lord of evil houses such as 2n4/6h/7h/8/12". Dasa lord occupying the 3rd, 5* or 7* star held by the lord of Navamsa Lagna can invariably cause serious illness. Diseases attack the body or show symptoms of increase when the Moon transits

(85)

the 8* or 12th Bhava from the Moon sign (this aphorism is stunningly true) and when the Moon occupies the 3d, 5*, 7* constellation from the asterism at the time of birth. 1" house to 6* house invisible, 7* 12* house is visible. Suppose Lagna is heavily afflicted, disease of the brain is to be anticipated, irrespective of the sign occupied by the ascendant. Heart disease is governed by Leo and Sun, if both of them are afflicted heart disease is likely to attack the native. If the lord of lagna and 4* lords are strong one can avoid many diseases. Clean habits help one to avoid diseases. Aspect of Saturn on Sun and Leo is a sure symbol of death through heart attack. Aspect of Saturn on Sun and Moon decreases life span. According to the author, the death point of the native can be found using the simple formula : Add the longitude of Ascendant, Sun; Moon & Jupiter. When Satum in transit aspects this point a natiye either suffers from serious illness or dies. The learned author discovered, the death point in 1989 (Cosmic Influences on Mind and 1Q by Dr. S.S. Chatterjee) and found 99% of the earth die as per his formula. It is very accurate even in 2007. One may suffer from diseases during the following Dasas and Antardasas.

1. 2nd lord dasa 12th lord Antardasa.

2. 12"d lord dasa 12lord Antardasa.

3. 8* lord dasa 8th lord Antardasa.

4. 6* lord dasa and 84h lord Antardasa.

5. 7* lord dasa, a malefic in the 6* house as Antardasa Lord.

6. 6* lord dasa, a malefic in the 8t house as Antardasa Lord.

7. 8* lord dasa, a planet in association with 6* lord or a planet aspecting 8* lord as Antardasa Lord.

8. A planet in the 8* house as a dasa lord and 6* lord as Antardasa.

9. 6* lord dasa, 8th lord Antardasa.

10. Malefic in 6* as dasa lord, 8* lord in 8* as Antardasa lord.

(86)

11. 12tlord dasa & a malefic in 12t as Antardasa lord.

12. A Malefic in 8th as dasa lord, a malefic in 6" as Antardasa lord.

. Ifthe lord of Lagna is associated with 2nd lord or is aspected by it, it becomes a potential killer planet.

14. If a malefic in the 12* house is aspected by the 12* lord, it becomes a killer planet.

15. A malefic in 2"1, if it combines with the 12t lord, it becomes the strong killer planet. 16. Dasa of the planets in the 7* Bhava.

16. AplanethemmedbetweenmaleficsasaDasalord.

17. Dasa Antardasa of a combust.

18. Dasa Antardasa of Moon ir the 8 *.

19. Rahu Ketu dasa passing though 6+/12th axis.

There may be many more combinations intelligent readers are requested to find them from practical cases, bearing in mind that the planets in 6th, 8th 12"houses and their lords, planets in 2nd and 7* houses and their lords are capable of generating strong diseases. The author hopes that it will be very. easy for the astrologers to identify the diseases well in advance.

CHAPTER 3

SECRETS DF LONG LIFE

eross 80 years without medicines and visiting n this article, I shall show how it is possible to

hospitals. Only general knowledge about health diseases will keep you fit for 80 yrs, In India only 0.1%people prefer to live above 80 yrs or above, for financial insecurity and for the fear of dangerous diseases. As per 2005 Guinness Book of records, Del Toro, 115 yrs. of USA is the oldest person on earth who is still alive and celebrating his 115t birthday (TOI 23rd August 2006). Prevention is better than cure. With this idea in mind various healing techniques through the applications of yoga, meditation, physical exercise, hormones, vitamins, fruits and vegetable, Indian herbs, homoeopathy, siddhis (some occult power) of Indian sages have been discussed in detail. The sages have advocated that the strength of Moon and Sun in a horoscope determines everything. When Moon becomes weak, all the Rajayogas cease to function. Strong Moon makes a man creative and genius and grants long life.

Origin of man No answer: M.C. Bhandari (1935-1998) has written cosmos exists, life comes and goes. How it really happens,

(88)

none of us knows. Who made the stars, planets and the Sun, The galaxies, supernovas the total creation. How they effect us, how we take our breath. What's that consciousness, where we merge after death? What a miraculous creation, what a miraculous fantastic mind that can travel faster than we imagine today. Isn't that all the mystical, should we not try to find them. Equally wonder about the origin of man the upright biped, the creature of three dimensional vision, the omnivore, the thinker, the inventor of tools, his vertical skeleton, his preciously balanced head, his broad pelvis, his long legs, and his narrow flat feet? From whom and by what devious path of evolution did he acquire his forward looking eyes mounted in a movable head and controlled by coordinated sets of muscles, his unspecialized teeth, his independently mobile arms ending in grasping fingers and opposable thumbs; his complex brain: and his voice box linked to speaking mouth. The answers to these question are incomplete in spite of Drawin's Theory of Evolution. According to Vedas water and life were brought down to his planet after a very long research, inventions investigation and untiring repeated attempts by Lord Brahma, Shiva and Narayan. It has been estimated that in the year 10,000 BC the human population Was 12 million. In 1650, 11,650 years later, the population has risen to 545 million. In December 2006 the global population is 6.5 billion. The population will reach 210 billion by 2200 AD. Due to discovery of wonderful drugs, and better facilities the life expectancy has increased enormously in the 21 century. Aids and Cancer are two most two dangerous diseases of the 21st century. An average life span in India is 55, whereas in USAit is above 75. Cholera, Plague, Malaria, Small-pox were the greatest killers in 18h, 19th and 20th century. Wars also killed millions of persons of this planet. Hitler alone ! killed 100 millions. Virus and bacteria are responsible for infectious , diseases. Fungi cause some of most important diseases of the world. Smuts and rusts of grain and late blight potatoes, are a few that have a profound effect on the lives of men. By definition, disease includes not only all infectious diseases of planets and animals, whether caused by

(89)

bacteria, viruses, moulds, protozoa, or other organisms, but any malfunction in an organism, no matter what the cause, with this definition in mind we would have to include as possible causes of disease the consequences of malnutrition, vitamin, deficiency, air pollution, chemical poisons, inherited malfunctions and even defect resulting from injury and imperfections in development. Antibiotics have become so important a part of our lives that we should know what they are and how they act. An antibiotic is any biological substance that is produced by an organism and that inhibits or retards the (discovered in 1938 by English Scientist Fleming) actively growing bacteria. Its action seems to be to prevent the manufacture of new cell walls by the bacteria. Many chemical substances act as disinfectants, substances capable of killing or removing microorganisms that cause infection. Some disinfectants : Iodine, chlorine, formaldehyde, boric acid, carbolic acid, hydrogen peroxide, mercuric chloride and silver nitrate. Sulphur group of medicines were invented in 1930. The sulfa drugs, among which sulfanilamide and sulfadiazine are examples; are produced synthetically. These wonderful sulfa drugs as well as penicillin have saved countless lives in hospitals and on battlefields throughout the world since 1940. The centre of Astrobiology Cardiff University UK has said that life was first created in deep space and not on earth as widely believed. Acting as super sperm distributors of the cosmos, comet passing through the earth's vicinity may have deposited genetically rich cosmic dust on the planet. These are believed to have showed the seeds of primitive life on earth. The tremendous extremes of heat and cold, the excessive radiations, and the lack of an atmosphere in outer space cannot be tolerated by any known forms of life. Scientist up to the end of 20* century, failed to come to a logical conclusion about the origin of life on earth. Either life was brought down to earth or it started on the earth no body knows.

NATURE'S DECAYING PROCESS IS KNOWN AS DISEASE

In Sanskrit there is a sloka: "Shariram Bhydhi Mandiram" meaning

(90)

living body is the den of diseases, but if those disease are converted to lameness, human birth becomes very painful. Other than Gods, everything perishes, after sometime, it may be after even million of years. After about 100 billion years Sun will cease to function. Our earth is only 5 billion years old. The earth of 5 billion years ago was a very different place from what it is today. One most profound difference of course, was the absence of hordes of hungry animals and human beings seeking every bit of available nourishment. When one is born- he is destined to die. The difference may be between 0-100 years in the21" century. This life span will increase in the 22nd century. Everybody has to suffer from some diseases and has to accept the holy orders of heaven. Everything decays out through natural processes and are so accurately time bound, that we hardly understand their mechanisms. Air blows, Sun and Moon provides us light and heat, tides come in the ocean, season changes, rotation of day and night is a spontaneous procedure. With the passing of a few years (author remembers his last 60 yrs. vividly) we become outdated persons of the society (after 65 or so) We can't avoid aging process. We have ' observed, after death the body decomposes within 24 hrs. It is God's : invisible force which starts work immediately after death, because the body starts decomposition. Invisible germs attack the corpse within two hours after death. All these systems are automatic and accurate. Disease is a disorder in a human, animal or plant caused by infection, diet or faulty functioning of a process. A disease bring disaster in the body and mind. Happiness is decreased on the onset of any disease. Ope cannot enjoy food and drinks properly. Happiness springs out from social relationships, enjoyable work, fulfillment of desire, money, high self esteem, a sense that life has a meaning. True happiness comes out easily from defect/disease free body. Some psychologists believe that happiness is genetic whereas other scientists say that may have located an important area of the brain where happiness is generated. While these ideas are debated we don't have to wait to begin discovering happiness within ourselves. Laughter is undoubtedly the best

(91)

medicine. Mind has a terrible power of cure. Doctors have found that some of their patients have not only lost their muscular difficulties, but also the pains of arthritis under psychotherapy. This have just given as idea of the power of mind in healing procedures. The famous Frenchman Coue' based his whole theory of cure on repetition. He used to get his patient to repeat again and again and again that he was cured until the patient was convinced that he was cured and he was. This is an example of the power of mind in healing. Bernard Shaw, Bertrand Rustle, Somerset Maugham, Michelangelo, Ronald Reagan, Winston Churchill, Rabindranath Tagore etc are just some examples of people whose youthful minds and imagination kept their bodies young and active long past the normal span of ageing. A strong intellectual interest can work wonders of the body. To ward off aging, an active change of work, say. every 10 to 12 years, is often necessary, or may be an absorbing hobby can be, persuaded. All these help to keep the body and the mind young and alert. Sir Jagdish Chandra Bose (1855-1937) a great Scientist of Bengal lived 82 years, discovering many new ideas throughout his life. William Shockley, the father of transistor lived between (1910-1989). Using vacuum tube, a computer was the size of a big hall and needed a air conditioning system to cool down the hot tubes (1960). Now in 2007, a computer is of the size of a palm, thank to transistor, it is now possible to have small hearing aids which could even be incorporated in a spectacle, pace makers which could be incorporated in a heart to regulate its beating so on. In fact, without mini electronic components, space age would not have been possible. And, of course, transistor made possible an electronic telephone exchange, the dream with which Shockley began researches. Thomas Alva Edison, the Wizard of inventions lived between 1847-1931. Before his death at West Orange on 18th Oct. 1931 he was eighty four he had patented 1300 inventions i.e. two inventions per month from the age of 25. Shortly before he died, Americans Newspapers conducted polls to determine difference of opinion over the lists, but each poll agreed that the greatest of all was Thomas Alva Edison, Electric bulb,

(92)

modern cinema (Speaking Pictures), gramophone, modern telephone etc. were discovered by this great scientist. Stress free life, can prolong life. Suicide is the ultimate act in succumbing to stress. The motives for { suicide include bad health, severe pain inside the body, troubled ₹ relationships with people, material problems, such as shortage of money, bad housing, a disorganized life, failure in marriage. People from broken homes often attempt suicide. Chronic alcoholisms also be a cause. All over the world as many as thousand people try to commit suicide daily. Two countries whose suicides rates appear to be going down are Japan and Britain. In Japan the reason is because ideas of § dishonour and disgrance are changing and in Britain because of an organization called the Samaritans.

HOW TO LIVE HAPPILY /

[ Live in the present and don't worry about the future, things will work out all right

T. It is always best to have a holiday. This makes a break in stress pattern. A complete change of place helps to dissolve the stress.

2. There is no point becoming tense about something in future, the important thing is the present; that is what really matters. Do your utmost to savour and enjoy the present the future will certainly look after itself. The frame of mind will lesson any amount of stress and tension.

3. Improve your relationships with friends and family happiness starts at home. Be an optimist optimism generates good feeling. Develop a genuine smile and laugh a lot. Now in Delhi/Gurgoan area people about 100 yrs join together early in the morning and laughs each other loudly. This a great tonic for maintaining an excellent health.

4 Pray, become spiritual and religious. It really works. President Nixon appealed to all people on earth to pray for the safe return of Apollo 13. it really worked. Moghul Emperor Babar appealed to

(93)

God for the speedy recovery of Humayun and it really worked. A worried mother usually appeals for the speedy recovery of her child in great illness.

5. Be generous and share with others give more than you receive. Give a good gift, when you accept any invitation for dinner for the occasion of a marriage or other reasons. Exercise your mind, keep busy with new ideas. Work your body- exercise regularly. Have fun in life, keep cool under pressure. Pursue achievable goals. Have high confidence in yourself (not overconfidence and not highly ambitious). Give compliments, take every opportunity to be complimentary. Be honest, with honesty comes openness. Invent novel solutions to problems. Be ready to make new experiments. Have an eye for new thing. Be filled with ideas. Creativity does not come easily. An open mind towards innovative solution a mind not Carried away by prejudices and superstitions is creative. Engage the mind to new things. Treat difficulties as challenges in life. Life is our adventure and every obstacle in life, is one of its challenges. Treat life as a game. What furi would a game is if you could never lose? You decide y ou want to be happy! Happiness is free. You can feel happiness, this very minute, if you so choose. If you continue to focus all your energy and attention on what you want, you will soon find yourself happy. We have learnt a great lesson from a moral story of ancient India. A fox tried to reach at a bunch of grapes again and again. Ultimately he told to himself that grapes must be sour.

SOME GENERAL KNOWLEDGE ABOUT HEALTH AND DISEASES

There are total six kinds of happiness in life (happiness for sound i health, happiness for money, happiness for a loyal wife, happiness from : children, happiness from neighbours happiness from the Government f patronage). However, the best happiness is good health i.e. freedom i from worries about one's body or diseases. That is why we should know more about body and how to look after it. The greatest wonder in this cosmos is the human body. Our body is equipped with the best antomatic, delicate and most powerful machines. Heart and lungs a non stop pumping set eyes wonderful camera cum projector, ears astounding sound system; stomach a wonderful chemical laboratory; nerves thousand of kilometers of "< communication system;' brain unparalleled computer with infinite : capacity. And the greatest thing about it is the unbelievable co- i ordination of these machines, so that this body can easily work for over

(95)

a hundred years The seven essential ingredients of the body blood, narrow, flesh, bone, semen, sinews (that joins the muscles to bones) and fat are controlled by seven planets. Our body consists of the five basic elements viz. water, earth, fire, air and space. These five elements are controlled by he electricity of he body known as "Chetana" which comes from the non-chargeable life battery. This battery has been installed in our body at the time of conception. The white dazzling light generated by this battery can be seen in the middle of the forehead with the eyes closed through certain Yogic Methods.

In order to get faster relief and break of vicious cycle of diseases, it is advisable to do the following to recharge the inner battery.

1. Pranayama and yogic exercises have been introduced by our seers thousands of years ago for preserving youth and freshness.

2. Slip a meal or two, reduce the food intake (after the age of 40) and take fruits, vegetable juices and butter milk, thereby providing rest to the digestive system.

3. The battery of our body is recharged during sleep. So it is mot important to have good sleep whenever one gets tired.

4. Drink lukewarm water (preferably copper, silver, gold or iron charged) and health drinks (Fruits and vegetable juices). Copper, silver, gold and iron charged water can be obtained by boiling pure pieces of the respective metal (50-60 gms) in water for one hour. Copper water is useful for all diseases connected with the nervous system (i.e. High BP, Arthritis, Polio, Tension, Leprosy). Silver water is useful for all diseases of the organs connected with the digestive system and urinary system. Gold water is useful for disorders of the breathing systems, lungs, heart, brain and as a general tonic. Iron water is useful in deficiency of iron in blood anemia or during pregnancy.

Mind has a great control on our body. A happy mind in a healthy body is the target to achieve. Happiness of mind can be achieved by stopping

all unnecessary worries. Wony and grave are twin sisters, so leave your worries for working hours. In has been observed that in most of the : psychological problems, the endocrine glands are disturbed and not : corrected afterwards. In such cases, treatment on all the endocrine | glands would prove beneficial. In the case of prolonged illness, pains t on the points related to more than one endocrine glands are found.

LANGUAGE OF BODY (MEANING OF SIGNAL)

The human body is a wonderful complex system which has a number of : ways to balance or eliminate the materials which could be harmful to the body. In order to facilitate the elimination of these substances, the body is equipped with urges that appear naturally. There are two types of natural urges : Suppressible and non suppressible urges. According to Ayurveda, there are thirteen types of natural urges in the body which should not be suppressed. These are the natural calls from body which - is a person must attend to as and when they appear in order to maintain ': the balance in the body, and to eliminate an element that might cause I imbalance.

'The thirteen non suppressible natural urges are: Urge to pass urine. Urge to eliminate faeces Urge to eliminate semen Urge to pass out flatus - Urge to vomit Urge to sneeze Urge for eructation Urge to yawn Urge to eat (hunger) Urge to drink water (thirst) Urge to shed tears or cry

(97)

Urge to sleep and Urge for heavy or fast breathing caused by over exertion.

Major Singnals :

1. When there is less urination, more toxins are accumulated in he body. It is advisable to take 4 to 5 liters of water or liquids daily.

2. Ache or pain in any particular part shows congestion of carbon dioxide water, air etc. (Meningitis disease is caused by accumulation of water in the brain). Carbon dioxide and toxin collect around vital organs which do not allow the current of life of penetrate and recharge the organ. That is why malfunctioning or disease develops around that organ and the disease starts.

3. The running of nose and sneezing mean that the body is trying to throw out excess water. During a full year, the body tries to throw out excess water, twice through sneezing and running nose, which is know as common cold. The phenomenon lasts for 3 to 5 days each time. One need not worry about such cold or try to stop it. It is jokingly remarked that in common colds if you take medicine, you will be all right within 7 days but you do not take medicine it will take a week to heal up.

4. Coughing indicates that the body is feeling cold and that it is trying to clear congestion in throat and chest. 5. Sneezing in the morning is considered to be a sign of good health.

6, Itching shows that a greater flow of blood is required around that part.

7. Fever indicates that the battle in our body i.e. white cells are having a fight with invisible micro-germs of a disease. One should not try to stop fever suddenly, sudden stoppage of fever has many times resulted in some other diseases even in paralysis.

8. Twisting of the body indicates that it is tired and requires rest and oxygen.

(98)

9. Loss of appetite indicates that there is congestion and constipation and that the stomach is busy in fighting with the disease. In such a case only lukewarm water and fruit juices or butter milk should be taken instead of further taxing the stomach with food. 10. Ache or murmur in the heart indicates that the heart requires total rest. The best way is to remain in the bed for 24-72 hrs. In our modern lifestyle, we find ourselves actually suppressing some or , most of the natural urges of the body we forcefully suppress the urge to · sneeze when sitting in a meeting, the urge to eat when busy with work, · the urge to pass urine While watching a favourite show on television, or the urge of eliminate flatus (fart) or yawn while in public. These : suppressed natural urges could be the cause of sickness. Below is a description of disorders caused by suppressing each natural urge. Urine : Suppression of urge to pass urine causes pain in bladder and i phallus, dysuria, headache, bending of the body and distension of he : lower abdomen.

Feces : If one holds the urge of defecation, . it causes colic pain, headache, retention of feces, distension of abdomen, wind formation, and cramps in the calf muscles. Semen : One should not forcefully suppress the urge of discharge semen. Although Ayurveda promotes preservation of semen as it is a (part of Shukra Dhatu, its forceful suppression is not advised. Suppression of the urge of discharge semen causes pain in the phallus and testicles, malaise, cardiac pain and retention of urine. Flatus : If one suppresses the urge for passing flatus, it causes retention of feces, urine and flatus, distension of abdomen, pain in stomach, and · Other abdominal diseases caused by aggravation of vata. Vomiting : The diseases caused by the suppression of the urge for vomiting are pruritus, urticaria, anorexia, black pigmentation of face, edema, anemia, fever, skin diseases, nausea and erysipelas.

(99)

Sneeze : Suppression of the urge to sneeze causes ailments like torticollis, headache, facial paralysis, and weakness of the sense organs. Eructation or belching : Suppression of eructation causes hiccup, dyspnea, lack of desire to eat, tremor, obstacles in the proper functioning of heart and lungs. Yawn: Suppression of yawning causes convulsion, cntractions, numbness, tremor and shaking of the body. All these are t.1 diseases caused by aggravation of vata. While yawning, the body e. pels the unwanted vata from the body and if it is forcefully retained, it causes a number of vata disorders. Hunger : By suppressing hunger, one subjects himself to emaciation, weakness, change in body complexion, malaise and giddiness Thirst : suppression of thirst causes dryness of throat and mouth deafness, causation, weakness and cardiac pain. Tears : By suppressing tears, one may develop eye diseases .; heart diseases, headache, vertigo and giddiness. Holding back the tears also blocks the emotions and this could led to mental worry, depression and irritation. Sleep: Suppression of the urge of sleep causes yawning, malaise, drowsiness, constipation, body ache, headache and heaviness in The eyes. When one has pain in the body, light food and longer hours of sleep are a must. That will help the patient to recharge and empower his life battery and will get cured soon. Breathlessness due to exertion: Suppression of this urge may lead to heart diseases, respiratory tract disorders, and fainting. According to Ayurveda, the first line of treatment in all disease is "avoid the cause". Therefore, all diseases that can be caused by he suppression of he various natural urges can be prevented simply by not suppressing any ofthem. Cholesterol: It is a vital element of all body cells (C2,H46O) It exists in

(100)

blood in a protein coating, It occurs in oils and fats. LDL or bad cholesterol has a higher content of protein whereas HDL or high density lipoprotein has a thick protein content. The LDL or bad cholesterol attaches itself into the artery walls forming a plaque whereas the HDL carries the cholesterol through the blood stream. The plaque causes the arteries to block leading to a heart attack or stoke or even death. Avoid eggs, meats, fatty food. Take fruit juices, banana, curd and a very little food only enough for living. More than 3 eggs/week should not be given to children. ECG/every 2yrs after 50 is recommended for maintaining an excellent health. Avoid excitement, too much exertion, exposure to cold and over eating. Avoid fast foods. Scientists now believe (TOI, 31-5-2006, P33) that carbohydrates, especially single sugars, can cause unhealthy changes in blood fats by causing fat to collect in the liver. Just as it does on thighs and belly. These fats eventually find their way into the blood stream. Cutting carbohydrates can reduce fat level in the blood. Those who want to reduce weight, should stop carbohydrates. It will reduce LDL cholesterol level. Sunflower oil reduces cholesterol level; Harmful effects of common salt : Our body does not require more than 5-6 gm of salt. Avoid salt on salad, and on your food. By taking natural fruits without salt we can decrease the intake of sodium ions through salt. Potassium present in all fruits, brings a balance in the blood. Less salt increases the velocity of blood though veins and arteries. Excess salt reduces life span, and spoils the kidney. Nobody should drink fruit juices with salts. Avoid pickles rich in salts. Musie reduces chronic pain & insomnia (TOI 1.6.2006 P 5 in Delhi Times) Leistering to music promotes a number of positive benefits and adds to the growing body of evidence that it an important role a play in modern healthcare. It reduces chronic. pain, can improve sleep. So follow what Shakepeare said. "If music must be the food of love play on_" ' Alcohol and beer can reduce causes of heart attack and osteoporosis

(101)

(TOI 1.6.2006 P 5 in Delhi Times) : It is widely admitted 1 peg of alcohol reduces heart attack cases. 1 pint of beer a day may stave off osteoporosis, says a latest study An estimated 3 million people in Britain suffer from osteoporosis a condition which causes bones to weaken and fracture easily. Everyone knows that calcium inhibits bone loss but the modern scientists in 2006 found, that ethanol (C2H,OH) in beer has the same affect, if not better effect. Drinking too much alcohol/beer have real adverse effects. So it is best to keep a tab oh how much beer/alcohol one consumes.

Sun rays may reduces cancer, schizophrenia, arthritis, rickets : Recent studies have suggested that vitamin D may protect against breast and prostrate cancer. The public is now being told to spend at least 15 minutes in the sunshine most days except during the hottest part of the day between 11 AM to 3PM. For the years we have been told to cover up in the Sun to avoid skin cancer (Melanoma). Many people are now getting so little sunlight that their bodies ae failing to produce enough vitamin D. This leaves them susceptible to other forms of cancer, as well as conditions including arthritis and even schizophrenia. There is also concern in cold countries that rickets is making return to children with severe vitamin D deficiencies. Long hours in cars and offices also limit to exposure of sunrays. Hypertension and poor memory : It is possible that people who inherit hypertension and high blood pressure may also inherit a weak memory and poor concentration. Mars is the symbol of logic. In case of hypertension use 12 Rati (180 mg = Rati) Red Coral on the ring finger. . It will reduce high blood pressure. Those who have Mars in 5th are intelligent persons. Less risk of stroke: People who do regular exercises such as running, swimming, cycling or playing tennis have lower risk of strokes. Sun burn disease : Wear sunglasses to prevent wrinkle on the delicate eye. Chances are you'll be squinting. This repeated action on face eventually can cause crow's feet, which can rob your face of a youthful

(102)

appearance. One should avoid bright sunrays between 10AM-4 PM in India.

ASTROLOGICAL CONCEPT OF DISEASES Astrology being a limb of the Vedas, it presupposes a firm faith in God as. the dispenser of the fruits of one's actions and the inherent philosophy of Karma which postulates that we reap what we sow, Charitable acts beget Punya which enables us achieve the purustharthas led by Dharma en route to Godhead. Evil actions beget sins that hinder the performance of Dharma and thus obstruct our evolution. Now Dhaima is Karma based and Karma is body based and . that is why the fruits of evil actions, namely sins, affect us in the shape of diseases that put the body and mind out of gear. Poorava Janma Kritam Papam Vyadiroupena Badhethe According to Prasna Marga रोगातनिामिह तु बहुधा कल्प्यते रोगहेतुः भूतावेशाद् ग्रहगतिवशाद् वातपित्तादिकोपांत्। एतत्तथ्यं विधमुदितं प्रायशः स्वीयपाम्मा रोगोत्पत्तेः भवति हि नृणां हेतुरेकस्त्रिधास्यात्।। People ascribe all sorts of reasons for diseases : possession by evil spirits, planetary affliction and tridosha or the imbalance between Vata (gas) Pitta (bile) and Kapha (Phelgm). But often, the truth about this three fold origin lies in man's own sins. Haritha confirmsit and points . जन्मान्तरकुतं पापं व्याधिरूपेण बाघते। त्व्छान्तिरौशघैर्दानैर्जपहोमसुरार्चनैं। The sins of past lives bother us in the form of diseases. The latter can be ameliorated by (a) medicines (b) danas (c) Japa (d) Homa and (e) . worship of Gods i.e. all the three physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Our Hindu Sages assert that when any illness or disease manifests on account of malfunctioning of one or more.of the three forces Vata, Pitta and Kapha, it can be cured by medicines. If such manifestation is caused by malefic transit of planets the remedy will lie in propitiating the planets or their Deity. Should such illness be attributed to baadhaa (preta, bhuta, deva etc.) these can be remedied through reciting or causing to be recited appropriate Mantra or Japa; if

(1,03)

such illness can be attributed to prarrabdha karma of the parents of the native or his parents, the native may seek remedy only through adhyatmik practices which is clear through the following sloka रोगांव्रदोश जगितम् faqoft वदन्ति ज्योतिविंदो ग्रहपीढनमामतन्ति। बाधाभिवेशमिति मन्त्रविदंवदन्ति प्रारब्य कर्मफल मात्मविदो वदन्ति।। The relevance of planets in astrology in brought out clearly by Sage Parasar

अवताराण्यनेकादि ह्यजस्य परमात्मनः । जीवानांकर्मफलदो ग्रहरूपी जनार्दनः ॥ The eternal God takes many incarnations, that of the planets being one. In this form he doles out to Jeevas the fruits of their Karmas. It follows that the worship of Gods referred to above includes the worship of planets too which are really the specific manifestations of the Almighty God which also serve as pointers of the onset of disease. Varahamihira confirm our deduction thus रक्तीः पुष्पैर्गन्धैस्ताप्रैः कनकवृषवकुळकुसुमैः। दिवाकरभूसुतीं भक्त्या पूज्यो इन्दुर्वेन्ा सितकुसुमरजतमंधुरैस्सितश्च मदप्रदैः। कृष्णद्वव्यस्सौरिस्सौमयो मणिरजततिलककुसुमैः गुंस्परिपीतकैः प्रीतैः पीडा न स्यात् उच्चाद्यादिपतति विशति यदिवा भुजैविजृंभितम्।। The Sun and Mars (while malefic) should be worshipped devotedly with vakula and red flowers, red sandal paste, gold, bullock (as dana) etc. A similar Moon should be worshipped with cow (as dana), white flowers, sweet, silver (wearing), Naivedya (the offerings to god with . rice, flowers, bananas and sweets) etc. Saturn with black material; Mercury with emerald, silver and tilak flower; Jupiter with golden hued flowers, aroma and naivedya. Pleased with such a worship these planets protect hirn even when he hurtles down a mountain peak or dives into a snake pit. If the birth chart of a person, malefic planets occupy benefic places and benefic planets occupy malefic places

(104)

certainly predict that the native has accumulated sins in the past birth, the results of which manifest on him by the way of diseases and afflictions. If on the other hand, benefics occupy Kendres or trikonas considered to be good places and malefics in upachayasthan (3,6, & 11 *) the native a store house of Punya accumulated in his previous birth which will bestow on him good health, longevity, wealth and all other things to lead a very happy and pleasant life in the present birth. Mind is the driver, body is worker and soul is the sufferer of the results of past karma.

Karma -The eternal mystery : Karma literally means 'deed' or act and more broadly refers to the universal principle of cause and effect, action and reaction with which govern all life. Karma is a natural law of the mind, just as the gravity is a law of matter. Astrology sheds light on life by revealing our karmic pattern. When a soul is born into a family, it is because of Karmic debts with the others in that family. Concept of Ranubandhana (the bond that results from karmic debt) Ranubandhana is a Sanskrit word. Ran = debt, anubandhana = bondage. In each life, we have mother, father, brother, sisters, spouse, children and so on. We are born in a family as a result of un-discharged debts of past life. Constantly we are creating accounts debiting and crediting. We are creating Karmic debts with all those, with whom we interact. The karmic debts (ran) lead to bondage or attachment (anubandhana). These karmic attachments pull us into the wheel of existence again and again. Ranubandhana is at the root of repeated lives. Human life is nothing but a memory.of ranubandhana, the story of the countless Karmas that we make and live through. Every relationship reflects some ranubandhana.

Kinds of Karma :

1 .. Sanchita Karma - a total accumulated karma (5h/9th houses) : This is a vast store of accumulated karmas of all past lives. It may

(105)

be indirectly seen in a man in his manner, character, his tendencies, aptitudes, inclinations and desires.

2. Prarabdha or Fructifying Karma : That portion of our Karmas allotted to us in this life is called prarabdha. It is fruit of our past actions that are being reaped in this life. All of sanchita karma will not be experienced at one time. Only that position which has become ripe for experiencing in this lifetime is prarrabdha. The natal horoscope reveals Prarrabdha only.

3. Kriyaman or Current Karma: This is fresh karma that we do in this life. This is the area that man has freedom to determine the course of action. This determines our future lives. This is where the concept of free will comes. The Horary chart reflects both the , Prarabdha of past lives as well as the kriyaman of this life. In other words, the prashna (Horary) chart is the latest. Karmic bank statement with regard to the query.

4. Agami Karma or Future karma: The Karma that is coming, in other words, new action that you contemplate as a result of your thought, the way you envisage the future, is Agmi Karma. Planning is Agami, while execution is Kriyaman. Thus Agami (planning) leads to Kriyaman, which becomes Sanchita (accumulated) to surface later as Prarabdha (destiny); Sanchita Karma manifests in two ways - firstly as Prarabdha or so called the destiny (controlled by 9th house and its lord) and secondly as the Samskaras or character (tendencies).

Human life is a story of the alternating patterns of duality of happiness and suffering, joy and misery, ups and downs. There is not a single life without this admixture, without this pair of opposites. This is the law of life. Though the atman is identical to Brahma, who is ever radiant and blissful, the Jiva (Individual) suffers because he is entrapped by the limiting adjuncts (upadhis) of body and mind. The infinite seems to be entrapped by the finite body and mind. Misery is not natural to the Jiva, it comes to experience a state of misery because of its association with a

(106)

body. So the cause of misery is a body.

Composition Of Body, Mind And Soul:

In the beginning God made man in his own image and man has been returning the compliment ever since. In Indian philosophy Vedantic Monism pictures god, man and the whole world as a single whole and all the divisions are hierarchical in nature. The Katha Upanishad describes : Above the senses are objects of desire, above the objects of desire mind, above the mind - intellect, above intellect - manifest nature, above manifest nature the unmanifest seed; above the unmanifest Seed God.God is the goal above him there is nothing. According to monistic theories, the realms of the spirit includes and contains the inner realms of mind. While the inner realms of mind are confined to Buddhi, Manas, Senses and the world. Thus mind is subordinate to spirit (or Atma). As such, there is no equality between spirit and mind. Mind dwells in the heart of a man. It can realize the four stages of waking, sleep, dream and the one beyond senses (Tuirya). It is the yoga philosophy by Patanjali that detailed inner realms and how to control the vagaries and waywardness of the mind. They had developed a science of body mind balancing and to attain the ultimate equipoise or mukti. They had psycho analysed man and gave eighteen different point of the interaction between inner mind and outer-mind. According to Vasistha, they are 1. Mana mind 1. Buddhi Intellect. 3. Chitta consciousness 4. Ahankara ego 5, Kalpna imagination 6. Smriti Memory 7. Vasana Desire or passion 8. Karma action 9. Avidya - ignorance 10. Mala pollution 11.Maya illustion 12. Prakriti nature 13. Jeeva Vitalself 14. Brahma The absolute or God. 15. Ativatika Deha' body beyond physical existence. 16. Indriya Sense organs 17. Purvashtake Eight hormone controlling centers 18. Deha Physical body.

The Jains had carried this enquiry into all the more subtler areas. Epistimological and structural, linguistic and exertive psycho- analysis were fore assumed by them. Actually Jain psychology can be

(107)

subject of a book, they even prescribed psychotherapy. Vidranya Swami, the well known Vedantacharya had declared in his Panchadastic that "Mind is dual" pure and impure. When it is polluted with Karma it becomes polluted, when it is desire less it is pure .. Mind is responsible for man's idea of freedom or bondage. When it is overpowered by passion, it is a slave, when it conquers passion it is the free master. Actually the human body consists of various principles and systems, not only the physical body which we can see and touch but also fine subtle functions which can be sensed by, not seem There are 27 constellations as 27 lunar mansions and the period taken by Moon to travel through these mansions correspond to female menstrual cycle. 27 brought to a single digit gives of which correspond to nine human systems viz skeletal system, muscular system, circulatory system respiratory system, nervous system, digestive system, excretory system, endocrine system and reproductive system. Nine is also represented by seven primary colours (VIBGYOR), infrared and ultraviolet. Everyone of us is subject to electromagnetic bombardment from these 27 constellations and 9 planets (excluding Uranus, Neptune and Pluto). We are living in the ocean of electromagnetic waves and therefore we experience ageing. In Vimsottori System the various dasas are Sun=6yr, Moon =1 Oyrs, Mars =7yrs, Rahu =18 yrs, Jupiter = 16 yrs, Satum=19 yrs. Mercury = 17yrs, Ketu=7 yrs. Venus=20 yrs. Let us study and understand Naisargik or Natural Dasa Chakra. A new born baby is blissful for 6 yrs. He behaves in a manner of a person hot in deep penance and sometimes cool.and calm altematively like Sun in Day and night respectfully. If we watch his behaviour for another 10 yrs i.e. from 6-16 we findthat he is always experimenting with one thing or the other in the process of learning the life through his faculty of imagination into boyish nature (not matured). He passes out matriculation examination by 16. Sometimes he is cheerful like a full Moon and sometimes he is blank like dark Moon on Amavasya. His physical body also starts taking feed from filtered and unfiltered environment. He is not fully developed into a robust man, even then, he

(106)

starts taking rash decisions and doing. rash thing based only on his physical courage during next 7 yrs. i.e. up to 23yrs. He is full of physical valor and prowess only attributable to Mars. With his developed body, courage and physical prowess, he starts a new era of his life for next 18 yrs. During which he does not like to give any heed to any body, especially the elders. He ventures through his fancies and follies and at the end of 41 yrs, he realizes that there was almost.no proper synchronization of the wisdom (his head) and achievement (his body). These 18 yrs he passed almost having head on bull fights as he had nothing but a hollow head like Rahu. So a change in life comes at the age between 41-45. Jupiter dominates between 41-57. Jupiter is the planet of growth and expansion,. He becomes wiser. He expands himself in all shares of life and feel rich in all respect. As soon as he completes 57 yrs., a sudden shock of future is experienced by him.and he tires all the tricks of trade/life he learnt so far to deal with next 19 yrs of his life 'i.e. from 57-76. Saturn is the symbol of aging. Aging starts from 57. Wrinkle appears on the skin, all the hair starts graying, he loses the teeth, his appetite decreases. During this period ascribed to Saturn, the hard taskmaster, be becomes really rich with true experiences. The divine scheme is to the test the learning done till Jupiter's dasa. This is the real period of his life in which he gets all the illusions abont relations etc. evaporated and learns the real lesson of his life, through many a difficult ways and services. Normally the person rich with true experience is expected to be full of wisdom and required to disseminate his knowledge for the good of mankind. So he Undertakes the responsibility during next 17 yrs of his life at 76 years of his age. This is the period of Mercury, the. divine messenger of God following the period of hard taskmaster Saturn. He enjoys all types rewards, respect and interacts with people having quest of achieving the goal of life. By the time he becomes 93, he is supposed to take stock of his deeds in this - incarnated, introspect fully the past life and shed his head forever to begin the preparation of his pious sojourn to the desired place through liberation during the period for 7 years of Ketu from 93-100. Next 20 .

(109)

yrs is govemed by Venus (2nd/7th lord of the Zodiac and hence a great killer planet) all the body's metabolism cease to function during this dasa. So we bless the person to live long 100 year. Sni Morarji Desai lived more than 99 yrs. Sri Jyoti Basu, Siddhartha Sankar Roy, the ex- chief Ministers of West Bengal are still active in 2006, though both of them crossed the level of 90 yrs. Vedanta presents a precious description of all the subtle functions and principles that exist in the body along with Atma (or sprit) and gives us practical means of controlling and guiding them. According to those principles there are 10 functions that direct and guide the body.

.1. The Karma Indriyas or 5 organs of activity the tongue for words, arms for giving and receiving, legs for locomotion and the organs of elimination and procreation. 2. The Jnana Indriyas or 5 senses of knowing which we know as sight, sound, smell, taste and touch, 6th is the common sense or super intelligence faculty. The state of mind is closely interrelated with consciousness. There are four states of consciousness: the unconscious (6th house), the subconscious (8h house), consciousness (1st house) and super consciousness (9th house). The conscious mind can take action; it can evoke memory when it wants to; it can think actively and towards a certain objective. The subconscious mind is a very .big store house of signals, sounds, emotions and impressions but even though it is not active like the conscious mind, the subconscious mind can play a large part in the actions; thinking and behaviour of a person. When one sleeps, the active mind rests, but the subconscious mind is awake. When a person has to get up early in the morning the waking time is kept in the sub- conscious mind and when the time comes the person wakes up exactly on the dot. The conscious mind is clearly asleep but the subconscious mind is on the job. But the exact relationship between conscious and subconscious mind is still not clear and an enormous amount of work

(110)

still remains to be done on this very important and interesting subject. The subconscious mind can store many times more than in the conscious mind. In fact, in popular parlance, the conscious mind compared to subconscious is often linked to the iceberg the part of iceberg not in the sea representing the conscious mind and the hidden part standing for the subconscious mind, Many Psychiatrists believe that the impressions formed and stored in the subconscious mind during one's early years from birth to six years (he is governed by Sun) determine the action of a person for the rest of his life. During these early years the mind is not only like a computer storing everything it hears, but also like a video tape recorder, recording everything visual. These early stored impressions play a big part in the action of person in his later life. It is for this reason that parents should pay special attention to their children's up bring during the vitally important early years of their life. The unconscious is the storehouse of all our Karmas, Samskara or Prabhas of our forgotten deeds and experience, mainly from past lives. These are deeply buried in the human unconsciousness and yet it is precisely these Karmas that propel and steer human life. According to seers all diseases are due to sin of the past lives. That is why 6* house is the house of diseases. 6 lord should be weaker than the lord of Lagna for enjoying a good health. Everything that we see, hear, taste, smell or feel is reordered on the subconscious as a samskara or impression. Firstly they rest in the subconscious and when they are 'ripe' they rise into consciousness as wishes or vasanas. Now we can define mind as that tendency or function that brings the vasanas, the samskars fromthe subconscious to conciseness. It is not an organ or a space but a transcendental function between subconscious and consciousness. It is endless, infinite functioning and its activity can never be terminated until the vasanas in the subconscious have risen and been dissolved. And we can see, the subconscious can never be emptied as long as there is sensory output. So if we are to attain the peace of mind it is our senses (Kama lust,Krodha anger, Lobha greed, Moha attachment, Matsarjya infatuation) that we need to control and

(111)

not the mind. The goal of life should be self-realization. The function of mind is to bring the vasanas and prabdhas up to the level where they can be dissolved consciously or unconsciously. Only when the storehouses of experiences are emptied will the mind come to rest. Fatigue and stress disappears on the calmness Of mind. So also the diseases can be controlled effectively with Yoga and Meditation. Relationship between body and mind: The body knows much more than the mind can fugue out. Our eyes record million bits and pieces of information like a video camera, but the mind fitters out most of it. The mind only sees that which it wants to see. No wonder our body records and remembers so much more than we are able to memorize. Even heard this expression "mussel memory"? If you have forgotten the password on your computer, try recalling it by moving your fingers on an imaginary key board. Chances are your fingers will recall the password even when your memory fails. Just recognize how your body becomes green with envy or red in anger and white in fear. The body not only remembers your password but also marks the passage of emotion as source of data. Experience reality in the body without the hindrance caused by thought. The body never deceives in the way it feels only the mind'goes wrong when it interprets. Our old age will see the triumph of body over the mind. The body knows much mores than the mind can figure out. Eat nature's antioxidants (coloured fruits).

How To Control Mind (As per Geeta): The three basic characteristics of the mind are: a) It is always extremely difficult to control it. ,b) Yet it can be controlled c) There are well defined methods to.do it Abhayasa (Practice) and Vairagya (dispassion) will enable us to control the mind, but how to bring them in our life stream.

(112)

a) By developing a strong will to control the mind. b) By understanding the nature of mind.' c) By practicing earnestly certain techniques of Yama, Niyama and Pranayam can also generate a higher level of consciousness by removing impurity and strengthening one pointed ness. Undisturbed calmness of the mind can be attained by adopting a) Friendlyness towards happy. b) compassion for the unhappy c) delight in the good d) indifference to evil e) Love of man and love of God are the two basic remedies for all disturbances of mind, after a prayer we feel we are calm. Constant prayer alone is the remedy. When one attains Mokshya or Salvation, he becomes a Human God .. (Narayana) going outside the preview of planetary influences." For him the configuration of planets and the interpretation there are indicative of events and not the cause, as everything in the Universe moves according to cosmic plan. The events occur under planetary configuration is the other name of Law of Synchronicity. Study of spiritual aspect of astrology will lead to study of cosmology. A spiritual elevated man considers himself as a miniature universe. The yogic process (linkage of one's self with Absolute) functionally aims at reduction in the metabolic needs, so that all functional organs are set in harmony for a minimum consumption of energy. Intake of oxygen reduces and the body temperature drops by 2-3 degrees (a reduction of body temperature by 2-3 degree can double the longevity of mammals) this is a called a person of renunciation. Supreme bliss comes to that yogi alone whose mind has become perfectly tranquil, rajas (metabolic transformation in the body), who has been identified with Brahma (Absolute) and is taintless. Here moot point is Santa Rajasam" the subdued projecting power from which activity emanates and mental modifications such as attachment and grief are continually produced Bhagvadgeeta 6.26

(113)

We have to watch our mind and lead towards path of truth and reality. About Mokhya or state of ultimate realization Hindu. Philosophy hold little different view. Purity, self control, truthfulness, nonviolence and compassion towards all form of life are necessary prerequisites for any spiritual path paving way to ultimate union. Forms of salvation after death are; 1) Saloka Mukti Where soul goes to abode of Lord Vishnu 2) Samipya Mukti here soul enjoys the proximity of God 3) Sarupya Mukti it acquires form of God 4) Sayujya Mukti where soul blissfully absorbed in God 5) Avatar or Karma Mukti this is to >e achieved through stages, one attains the Knowledge of Nirvana Bral. na, when entire universe is dissolved at the end of kalpa, he becomes one with Brahma and not to born again 6) Vishistadwait Mukti goes to heaven, enjoys blissfully in Vaikuntha 7) Purva mimansa Mukti goes to heaven, enjoys bliss 8) Apvarya Mukti Separation from quality (gunas). There are three forms of mukti before death means when one is alive 1) Aatmagyan Mukti means knowledge of inner self, destroys Avidya, becomes Jeevan Mukta, can no longer thinks of himself. 2) Sadyomukti immediate release, totally loses interest inillusory body, his body drops off 3) Kaivalya Mukti according to Sankha School of thought, the soul or spirit bonded by Aviveka, gets Viveka, achieves mukti by distangling from Prakriti. A soul is the observer who interprets and makes choices based on karma, it also a confluence of relationships, out of which emerge contexts and meaning and it is this flow of context and meaning that creates experience. So it is through the soul that we create our lives. Intention, imagination, insight, intuition, inspiration, meaning, purpose, creativity, understanding, all these have nothing to do with the brain. They orchestrate their activity through the brain, but they are qualities of the nonlocal domain, which is beyond space and time. Many things in life happen Which we are unable to explain. We can never truly know the mind of God and we can never fully understand the how, where and when of anything, even something as simple as boiling water. .We have to surrender to uncertainty, while appreciating its intricate beauty. We will try to guess

(114)

the type of diseases the native is likely to suffer in his lifetime, through a horoscope but ultimately God only can tell the exact types, time and reason of these diseases.

Defect of human body : Although human being is in a group of 50 of largest animals in the 2 million odd species, he goes almost to the bottom of the list where muscle power per body size and weight are concerned. It is estimated that a four foot six inch chimpanzee has twice the muscle power of an average six feet man. Man is poorly prepared to face the rigors of climatic change. The main function of this skin is the excretion of waste materials of the body It excretes via sweat glands some 5-10% of the nitrogenous waste that accumulate in the blood( sweat actually controls much of the material found in the urine but in much more dilute form, the concentration being 1\8th that of urine). His thin, sparsely covered skin loses valuable heat when it is cold and affords little protection to exposure. Unlike most animals, man must laboriously learn to swim, and even when he has mastered this, he cannot survive for long in cold or even moderately cold water. But man, the innovator, the maker of tools, must like all other animals, rely on the living thing around him for food. He has learnt from bitter experience that he cannot upset nature's balance without suffering the consequences of drought or erosion .God has provided fair skin to ladies without beard or hair on the face . Perhaps the human baby would not have tolerated fierce looking personality. All mothers are like angles to a human baby .Venus governs body luster. A beautiful lady must have a strong Venus, because the fair skin is governed by Venus. The overall skin is governed by Mercury. When the lord of lagna Mercury is afflicted, skin diseases will appear. When the lord of lagna Venus is afflicted, one will suffer from urine related problems. Charismatic personality is governed by Venus in either sexes. Strong Venus provides a sympathetic and broad mind. Afflicted and strong Mars provide cruel mind. It must be remembered that fair coloured persons do enjoy some sort of honour in the society. Face shows the man as the morning shows the day .God

(116)

created white ,black, brown and yellow coloured human beings. White persons are of European origin, Blacks are Africans and yellow people are of Mongolian origin. Brown people are either mixtures or their skin became brown for the hot climate . Though almost .80% persons of Latin America came from Europe, but in the 21s century they are all brown coloured persons like Asians and Arabians. The whole body is covered by two square meter skin which is very sensitive to heat and -cold.

Controlling spirits : In India, Aghora Sadhanas (Aghora at the left of God by Robert E. Svoboda, Rupa & Co, 2003 P 187) have always been a closely guarded secret, given by guru only to his most trusted disciples. They have to be secret, because they are not in the realm of written or spoken world. Almost everyone who dies a sudden death becomes a spirit because there is no time to select a new life, this is why peaceful death is so important. There are also tiny children: those who were born dead or who dies of disease, accident or some more terrible fate. These ghosts are Karna Pishachini. Higher than Karna Pischachini is Yakshini, the female form of Yaksha, a male spirit almost the level of minor deity. Yaksha and Yakshinis were once human and were good sadhakas at that time, otherwise they could not possess such powers. They were Hindus during their life time. Mokhul were Muslims, Angles were Christians. Hibiscus flowers play an import part in the sadhana of a Yoksha. During the sadhana of a Mokul, a lamp filled with pure essence of hinga, a Muslim's favourite perfume, must be kept continuously burning. Suppose a Pischacha , a low sort of spirit, becomes pleased with you and blesses you. And the only blessing a Pishacha can give you is that you receive everything you ask for. Some Sadus can give you any material you ask from him through a spirit. So when a Sadhu (elevated soul) materializes something from air he has not created that thing, but . actually this is simply a transportation and not creation of a thing. There is a set of procedures for controlling a spirit or a ghost. Once it is controlled, the spirit does not work for its controller throughout his life.

(116)

The end of life of such controller becomes very miserable. Arjuna started with a Karna Pischachini, so did Veda Vyasa. Once you have learned all you can from yours, your guru can remove it from you, and you can go to something higher i.e. Yakshini or Yaksha. You can learn a lot from spirits about heaven, hell and about other planets of this universe. A spirit possesses much higher knowledge compared to a any human being.

Power of a Yogi:

We know mind has a terrible velocity. By utilizing this power one can cure diseases. A Yogi can eliminate all diseases. There are two aspects of human life. In materialism, pleasures of the body are given much preference over anything else. Modern education increases this tendency. In spiritual life the main goal is awakening of the soul. There are five senses; touch, smell, taste, hearing and vision. Mind is the 6th sense. It attributes are : greed, ego and attachment for worldly objects. If food intake is kept low after 40 or so it protects the man from diseases, longevity too is enhanced. When the feeling of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam develops, a person exhibits love and compassion towards everyone and offers his services for the welfare of humanity. Only a true yogi can acquire siddhis or occult power. In yogic path one has to abandon pleasures of living happily with wife, children, A/C, cars, luxurious apartments. It is a path of self sacrifice. One has to live in cremation grounds/mountains/forests without food, water clothes etc. A guru is a must for acquiring occult powers. All the Naga Sadhus follow the path of left hand (Bamachara) of God for acquiring Siddhis. (occult power) The Naths have a prescription for spiritual advancement. "Break up your sleep, and cut down your food; no mater how far your mind may soar into the astral regions while you are awake, once you go to sleep you erase all the benefit. Sleep is very much like death, just less permanent. It is the overcoming of the mind by a blanket of dullness. Food makes you sleepy by filling you up; sex exhausts you, it makes you sleepy by draining you. Aghoris cannot afford the luxury

(117)

of relaxation; they have to be sharp at all times. They work all night long in the cremation ground (smashan), where drowsiness makes them much more susceptible to attack from spirits. In fact, in the case of three food, sleep, and sex the more you get from them, the more you want. Tantra aims to replace the limited personality with an unlimited, permanent one. An Individual may fail to become eternal but may in course of Tantric practice accumulate sufficient energy (shakti) to obtain some extra ordinary power, called a siddhi. As a common man we cannot go to forest for Sadhana, but it is well known in vedic literature that six year of Brahmacharya will develop great strength of ojas. Your aura or helo will develop to such an extent that whoever meets you, feel refreshed and relieved afterward. The Ojas will harmonize both you and those around you. One should try to. understand a Aghori Sadhu, whose friends and colleagues are all spirits. Whole idea of Tantra and Aghora is transmutation whether you make use of shaktis of spirits or deities or magical plants or whatever, transmutation is the goal. That is why some tankrika practice Alchemy and learn to transmute one metal into another in preparation for transforming themselves. Paramhansa Ramakrisha and Swami Vivekanand met Trailargaswami at Banaras. Traillongaswami was a great Aghori, who could transform his urine and feces to any object. He gave his shit to a British Magistrate for eating, when that Magistrate uncovered the food, he found a well toasted chicken, driping with gravy and ready to eat .. Tantra is limited by time, space and causation but Aghora is beyond all triads, all dualities, all limitations. If they want gold, they will piss on a rock it will be gold. Similarly they'll piss in your petrol tank which will be converted in petrol. Such is the power of mind. Mind is cosmic and unlimited. By "Yogic Practice" if mind is separated from sense organs and train the mind, then if automatically perceives without the media of sense organs. By tuning individual mind to the cosmic mind there is nothing that soul cannot acquire or experience or know. Seeing hearing, smelling things at a distance without the media of the sensing is known as Telepathy or Divya Dristi,

(118)

The power of telepathy can be used to locate minerals, natural oil, earthquakes, wars and the like. Dropadi's modesty was protected by Lord Krishna from the hundreds of miles away through telepathy only. Prevention of any occurrence of any event itself may not be possible, but the magnitude and intensity of damage can be minimized. That is how telepathy helps mankind. Telepathy is again subdivided into three sections; clairvoyance precognition and psychokinesis. When a person can see an incident, before it actually took place in a dream, it is clairvoyance. Awareness of an event before it occurs is (this branch will help to avoid many accidents/health hazards) Precognitive Clairvoyance. Moving objects at will or materializing them is Psychokinesis. Psychic power like telepathy are the manifestations of the power of consciousness through organized matter, in the psychic body or the astral body. All powers of intellect are psychic power, we do not require instruments, money or material. All that is needed is the spiritual practice. There are many instances when a Aghori Sadhu cured Leprocy patients without medicines. So all the governments should explore this alternate methods of cure of dreaded diseases According to Chandrahari, an M.Tech (BHU) has written in his famous book "Hindu Zodiac and Ancient Astronomy", yogic body is a filament under illumination of time and it is this realization of time in yoga that made possible the creation of Kalachakra external or macrocosmic time synchronous with microcosmic time. The bio cosmic temporal continuum could thus be deciphered in terms of the rhythmic periodicities of the geometrical longitudes of "grahas" and thus Jyotisha had its origin. Sigmund Freud (1856 1939) and his student Carl Jung developed mind science scientifically. In 1899 Freud published "Interpretation of Dreams"This book may be compared with Principia by Newton (1647), The dialogue of the two principal systems of the world (1632) by Galileo, Origin of Species by Darwin (1859). There is a tremendous power, which is working behind the all creations. Spiritual traditions have been based on the oneness one single source, takes root in our consciousness, can you see the profound

(119)

impact it would have? There is plenty of scientific evidence to prove that our consciousness can heal our body. Stress is the biggest killer in our society today. It causes diseases and leads to disease. But if we tune with ourselves, we are in tune with nature and in tune with the one source of everything: Then our stress dissolvesand we instinctively know the right thing to do. We feel blissfully happy and see ourselves on whole and one with the universe. Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing. There is a strong relationship between depression in elderly patients with diabetes and the degree to which they control their blood sugar levels. Elderly will not benefit from clinical intervention programmes unless their depression improves. Yoga practices really cures many diseases. Human differ from animal not only due to their vertical structure but also humans differ from rest of the creations by God (animals, insects, bacteria etc.) but also due to unsatiated desire to probe in to the mystery of the universe, one through spiritual view and. the another through scientific researches.

ASTROLOGICAL CONCEPT OF MIND No body on earth can be a greater creator than Lord Brahma. Scientists are inventing many automatic machines, but think of about the motherhood phenomena of a girl. Female body is a unique machine designed by God. When the baby is about to take birth milk oozes out of the breasts, when the baby is 3-4 years old, again milk tries to disappear. So is there any such a automatic machine discovered by a man? All sciences are encompassed from the mind of man and for this reason, mind is the greatest and most intricate studies of all sciences. The most - baffling of man's problems has always been mind. Westem science is proud that it has begun to conquer nature and is talking in terms of cosmic flights though compared to the dimensions of the cosmos, which, are inconceivable. The astronaughts orbiting the earth at a height of 200 miles seems a child's play. Now scientists are busy. in taking pictures of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto and planets bey ohd Pluto which are situated at an unimaginable distance from the earth. In

(120)

contrast to these achievements in the realm of physical science, there is a lamentable lack of development in the more important aspects of human existence, viz mental and moral sciences. The human mind and its mysterious functions continue to the mysteries to the western scientists. The mind is composed of various faculties, which fairly correspond with the convolutions of the brain. These faculties are phrenologically arranged in an ascending scale commencing with purely natural or animal faculties until the intellectual and reflecting group is reached. Two persons may have the same developments in any group of faculties but % marks obtained in an examination will be different and this accounts in the endless diversity of human characters. The brain rules the being; for it's the function of thought, the reservoir of cogitation; therefore the finer the development, the more perfect its balance; the greater its capacity for the comprehension and reflection, the more intense the ability to analyses and investigate, not only in physical but in metaphysical matters, in spiritual as well as in natural things. Gross materiality may become on obstruction and hindrance to intellectual progress. The great poet of all times Shakespeare has written in Macbeth:

Canst thou minister to a mind diseased

Pluckfrom the memory a rooted sorrow

Raze out the written troubles of the brain

And with some sweet oblivious antidote

Cleanse the stuff'sbosom of that perilous matter which weighs upon the heart?

Therefore, every individual should become cognizant of his/her own natural capabilities (mental as well as intellectual) and should continue to educate and improve those capabilities. Corrected brain and mind development may become a foundation of future honourable success and a means of ever lasting peace and happiness in life. Our fifth sense are: tongue, ear, eye, skin and nose. The sixth sense is our mind. Even the best doctor of this present dynamic world does not know where the

(121)

mind is situated in our body. Astrologically mind is divided into four major divisions. Super conscious (9th house), unconscious mind (6th house) subconscious mind (8th house) and the conscious mind (I" house). Lower mind is controlled form the 3rd house. The mind has the ability to know and to interpret what is senses, both from the outer senses and inner senses of clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, love and centering. The mind is both creative (Rahu with contact of 8* lord gives birth to a new idea which is known as invention or discovery) constructive and destructive. It is like a sharp knife. We can use our mind any way we choose. According to rules of astrology, the disposition of the Moon and the 4th house disposition of Mercury explains the nature and structure of the brain. Mind is actually governed by Moon Manakaraka, Mercury buddhikaraka. Contact of Saturn and Rahu On these planets make the mind dull, revengeful and phobiatic. 5h house, 5th lord act as storehouse of intelligence. When 4th house, 5th house, Moon and Mercury are afflicted, mind becomes lunatic (Loses balance of judgment power) .. Strong 5th house/5* lord provides excellent judgment power. Saturn controls the lower brain consciousness and Jupiter controls higher consciousness. God only writes sad episode about a person, whose Jupiter is found to be weak in a horoscope. Aspect of 6th lord on Jupiter is a grisly combination and is to be feared. All crude and limited minds are held by Saturn, and none can pass into the plane of Mercury until Saturn is passed. To identify ourselves without mind is to be under the sway of Saturn. The saturnine mind is united to the brain organ, and can never leave the concrete or purely objective. The unfettered mind is shown by Mercury, which is expansive and adoptable to higher and advanced thought, Mars quickens to action of Mercury, while Saturn retards and steadies the mental expression. Both these conditions, belong to the material or practical side 'of expression, whereas Jupiter and Venus elevate into idealistic stated. To give every shade and colour to the mind the swift Mercury, who is "winged messenger of the Gods" form many kaleidoscopic mental pictures during his cycle. During Mercury Rahu

(122)

or Rahu-Mercury dasa one suffers from fear complexes. Marriages conducted during the above dasa fails apart. Senses are quick or slow, in accordance with the position and aspects on Moon. Each of the five senses has ruler and each. is well developed or merely latent in accordance with the planet's strength or weakness; but whole of them are collected and manifested by Moon. The planetary vibrations are allied to the senses approximately as follows; Mercury - sight, Venus touch; Mars taste; Jupiter smell; Saturn hearing; Neptune inner touch (Psychometry); Uranus provides inner sight (clairvoyance). It is probable that Vulcan, a planet to be rediscovered inner future, govern the inner hearing (clairaudience). We specialize the rays of Sun through a special organ in our body called spleen. The altered conditions of Sun's rays becomes vitality, it is a force' pouring downward. In the same way the mind is an elemental essence which is pouring down into manifestation and as it passes through our brain, we specialize or educate it, moulding it by our will into thoughts forms which constitute the thought action, leading finally to actions. Actually luminaries control our eyesight for observing the external objects. Inner seeing is controlled by Mercury, the planet of reason and concrete mind in the physical mental world as most of us know it, largely governs our intelligence faculty (reason) and celebrate activity in general. Venus is associated with desire world, with love, art and creative expression, rules touch or feeling. Taste is ruled by Mars, the planet of aggression, sex and appetite, and no kind of appetite can be appeased or satiated without taste. Smell or scent is ruled by Jupiter, because it is fiery and expansive and rules the fire sign, Sagittarius fire is expensive and so is scent or smell as it pervades the atmospheres. Hearing is ruled by Saturn is the time recorder who partially listens and records. In the super physical extra sensory or psychic ability clear seeing and Western Astrologers think these are ruled by Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Neptune governs the upper octave of Venus and controls inner touch. Pluto rules in the upper octave of Mars and control inner taste. Pluto is the sex God. In Hindu Astrology Ketu controls the

(123)

sixth sense or third eye. Ketu Jupiter in the 12t or Ketu aspected by Jupiter in the 12th helps anybody to climb very high in the spiritual field. Ketu aspected by Jupiter in the 5* / or 9th makes anybody extra intelligent person. The upper octave level of Mercury is controlled by Uranus. Aspect of Jupiter on Uranus in good houses makes anybody super intelligent. When Moon and sun are afflicted one does not live long. For a great prosperity, success, name and fame both Sun and Moon should be strong in the horoscope. That is why it is said that in the strength of Moon, lies the seed of the all the planets. The strong and brilliant Moon is advantageous in many ways, because it also rules ever the mind and, as we know, the entire universe is nothing but the material projection of the cosmic mind. In a nutshell if the mind would be healthy, tranquil and balanced thoughts and actions shall be in equilibrium and draw admirations and success in life. Nothing succeeds like success in life and a person blessed in the snccess is blessed by divinity.

The 6th house denotes diseases and Moon in 6th is highly susceptible to ailments especially in the childhood. An afflicted Moon in the 6n house often give an early death. it denotes scarcity in mental strength, and thereby the person can be mentally weak, ignorant to the extent of stupidity. If Moon is exalted in the 6h house, in the case of Sagittarius Lagna, it will provide a good career to the native. 6th house is the 9th of 10house. When Lagna, Moon, Sun and Lagna lord are strong, we have the case of very rich and successful people of the society. Moon allows to think for the common people strong Moon makes a man sympathetic in nature and 4th house of the Zodiac is the house of Moon and the fourth house from the ascendant represents common people or common man in general. When Moon or the 4th lord is posited in the 5th house, the native will be sympathetic for the common people. World renowned Nobel peace prize winner Mother Teresa had exalted Moon and Rahu in the 5t house (she had Capricorn Ascendant) Whether a person is trust worthy or not can easily be gleaned from his Moon. A good Moon basically implies a good mind. An afflicted Moon shows one who

(1.24)

cultivates associations and friendships with the primary objective of utilizing them in same way or the other for selfish interests. When Rahu is posited in 1$/4/or 10th such a native do not hesitate to use one as a ladder for their selfish ends and once this is done will also have no qualms of mercilessly kicking them out of their lives. This aphorism is stunningly true to the knowledge of the author. Such natives are unscrupulous and do not hesitate to betray and back stab even whose who have reposed trust in them. They can also very cleverly manipulate others and use them to promote their schemes with no guilty feelings. When Moon is afflicted by Mars, Saturn or Rahu, such natives usually have no principles in life. One becomes a victim of betrayal when either the 11 th lord (showing friend) or the 3"d lord (associate) is in the 6th.

Rahu dasa during childhood days (15-25) is not good, when its dispositor is afflicted in the birth chart. Rahu in Gemini is generally extolled, but if Mercury is afflicted one will have rolling stone in hand. He will have an unsound mind and will not be able to acquire higher. qualifications. The Moon in Cancer Lagna with digital strength made Jawaharlal Nehru sensitive and gifted with a fertile imagination that led him to make useful literacy continuations. Indira Gandhi with the Saturnine influence. on her Moon in Capricorn gave her an authoritarian streak, but also made her an adept in swaying the masses. The great Mughal emperor Akhbar had his Moon in Gemini aspected by Mercury and Jupiter, making him gentle human and abjuring religious fanatism. The Moon in Pisces ascendant fortified by the interchange of houses with Ascendant lord Jupiter, in exaltation in 5* conferred an intuitive and receptive mind on Nobel Laureate Rabindranath Tagore, enables him to come out with outstanding poetic and literary contributions, which won for him international acclaim. The Moon in debility in the horoscope of Albert Einstein derived his strength from exaltation of the dispositor Mars and disposition of four planets in the 5th (intellect) from the luminary to impart great mental power in the pursuit of scientific enquiry, enabling him to earn international recognition with the Nobel Prize. Mussolini had his

(125)

Moon in Taurus, but in the grip of Saturn and Mars imbued with a destructive mentality. Kemadruma Yoga, an inauspicious yoga surfaces out when the adjacent houses.of Moon are vacant. This yoga can be seen even in the horoscopes of multimillionaire, who by constantly worrying about the future or due to some other perversion, choose to lead their lives in sucha way that they sometimes appear to be worse of than real beggars. When Moon is afflicted in the 12" house, one becomes odious to others and leads a miserable life. If both Moon as well as the 12"house are afflicted one can get disease to the left eye. The combination of Sun and Moon is not good for financial matters except in the 9* house: Conjunction of Moon and Mercury is good for information Technology and computer science. According to Varahamitir, the Moon refers to Devaloka. Thus the Moon in the role of atmakaraka (highest degree planet) gives godliness to the native if strong and well placed Jawaharlal Nehru had Moon as the atmakaraka planet in Cancer Lagna. For a Virgo Lagna Moon in 30° in Aries is much better than Zero degree in Taurus. The Association of atmakaraka with amatyakaraka is said to give Raja Yoga because the soul gets in built strength causing the native to gain recognition, for anything he does, among the mortals of the earth. Such natives image as gurus and leaders due to their innate superiority. Let us study the case history of a brilliant boy of Bengal.

Example 6: DOB 9-5-1986,2-37 PM Kolkata. Virgo Ascendant, Libra Ketu, Scorpio Saturn, Aquarius Jupiter, Aries Moon 29°45', Sun 24°47', Rahu, Mercury 9°, Taurus Venus 21° is a handsome boy with extraordinary Ket 7 . 5 intelligence level in computer science. He Sat 8 got 97% marks in Computer Science from 6 4

CBSE XII Board, Delhi. He is now Mar 9 3 reading in the 3rd year computer science in 12

2007. The 11th house from atmakaraka is 10 2 Ven occupied by Jupiter, should fulfill his [1 1

goals in life. He wants to acquire more and Jup Rah Mon Sun Mer

(126)

more knowledge, not the money, because Jupiter is the bestower of deep knowledge to the native. Inspite of 4 planets in the 8t house, the dispositor in the 4" house from Lagna made his chart an unique one. 91h lord in 9" shaped his destiny in a nice manner. He is free from diseases for the exalted Moon, Sun, Jupiter in the 6th house, Venus in his own house in Taurus. When 6h house is influenced by benefics it acts as a Upachaya house. When 64 house is influenced by malefics it acts as a trika house and generates many diseases in the body. It is a divine grace to have 9'h lord in 9th and natural benefic in the 10th house form 9th house i.e in 6th house. When a Moon, Mercury combination occurs in a watery sign especially Pisces and Seorpio, we have demonic natures cloaked in an apparently attractive exterior, such natives can harbour horrendous levels of avarice, hate and jealousy and other morbid emotions that can lead to ruin, death and depravity. I know a case where the native having Sun, Moori and Mercury in her 7th house in Pisces engineered murder of her husband and children for insurance money. Moon represent all fluids including the hormones and blood. in the physical domain of the body, Moon rules the stomach, breasts, solar plexus, pancreas, all body fluids and the flow of secretions. A strong Moon well placed and well aspected is nothing short of a blessing from heaven.

The aphorism is Lagnam Kotigunam Bhaveth, the ascendant is all important as having million of good/bad qualities, where as Moon is only a planet out of 12. 6/8 or 12/12 relationships of Jupiter and Moon have not been praised by our seers. It causes poverty. Even Jupiter is Scorpio. Lagna becomes weak, when Moon is placed in 6h/8"/1 2th from Jupiter. Jupiter in the 7th from Moon protects a girl form many humiliations in life. A strong Moon in the 314/6*/9h/12t from Sun makes the native wise, wealthy and prosperous. The position of Moon in the natal chart plays a predominant role, indicating the native's immediate response to crises. AH spiritual leaders have the Moon in a powerful position in their horoscopes. Moon has the powerful influence on

(127)

emotional needs, reciprocation of feelings and mutual understandings, which in turn reflects behavioural patterns. It is said in Hindu Astrology that the Moon is the vital essence of all the planets " ftte ग्रह वीर्य बलम्" :the birjabala or internal strength of the planets depends on the strength of the Moon. The Raja Yoga guaranteed by other planets cannot fructify if Moon has no strength at the time of birth. Hence all the psychic energy of the mind are regulated by this vital planet of the Zodiac, Moon. Powerful Moon gives good sensation and feeling. It is the main ruler of emotion. The blood contains 90% water which is saline like sea water. MoOn has tidal effect on sea. Hence the tide and fall in human blood is controlled by the phases of the Moon. We shall and this article with the horoscope of an unfortunate man, who become lunatic after a tragic accident.

Example 7. A story of a lunatic man : DOB 17-5-1970/ 12.00PM/Delhi. Leo Lagna, Ketu, Virgo Moon, Libra Jupiter; Aquarius Rahu; Aries Mercury, Saturn; Taurus Sun, Mars; Gemini Venus.

This is the horoscope of a young man who Mon had problems soon after his birth in a rich 6 4

family. Father is a wealthy businessman, Jup 7 3 Ven elder brother is a multimillionaire MD Ket 5 Medical Doctor in USA. Polio struck him . when he was 6 months old, walked with 8 2 Mar Sun

Rah iron rods at the age of 2. On 15-5-84, the Sat

9 entire family met a serious car accident 10 12 Mer

and this young boy got head injury, which later on turned him to a lunatic man. In 2006 June, he sleeps, reads newspaper and spends time by wild dreaming, such as donation of 25000 crores of rupees to Ethiopian children etc. God was never kind to him, All the kendaras are occupied by malefics, debilitated Saturn in 9th with 11t lord Mercury aspected by 8th lord Jupiter, spoiled Saturn. Mercury is spoiled by Saturn and Ketu.

(126)

6h/8th/1 2th houses of Moon are occupied by malefics So Moon is very weak in his horoscope. Moon is the mother of all planets. Weak Moon destroys all the Raja Yogas. Therefore Moon dasa at birth generated problems for him. He lost mental balance during Rahu-Rahu dasa on 15-5-84. Rahu's dispositor Saturn is debilitated and is afflicted by 8th lord Jupiter and Ketu. So Rahu Rahu dasa spoiled him. Rahu's dasa is bad for any body when its dispositor is weak and afflicted. In astrology for judging mental health problem, three factors are of utmost importance i.e. ascendant (brain), Mercury (Intelligence) and Moon (Mind). As these are afflicted as explained above, he is suffering from loss of memory. Combustion of 9t lord added fuel to the fire. When 9th lord/9'ı' house is weak, everything evaporates in air. According to Shivaji Bhattacharya (P & F, Jan 04 P 27) when Moon is in Virgo, Mercury if found in an adverse position of Moon, the education may suffer. His dispositor of Moon Mercury is placed in the 8th house from Moon, and afflicted by Saturn and 8t lord Jupiter. All the Kendras are influenced by malefics confirms his past sins. So we are amazed to see the accuracy of our sages in framing thonsands of subtle golden astrological rules for the benefit of our mankind. We should pay respect to these wise sages of yore, who developed astrology.

DISEASE AND HORMONES

The unit structure and function in the nervous systems is the neuron which is a single cell. Neurons are often very long. The longest nenron of human body reach from the ends of the fingers or toes to the spinal cord. The neurons are specialized for transmitting nerve impulses. A nerve impulse is an electromagnetic charge, along cell membrane, that begins to one end of the neuron and travels rapidly to the other. In some neurons of man, the nerve impulses has a speed of approximately 100 meters/sec. In many of the lower animals the speed is much less. Animals can recognize three main structures related to stimuli and responses. The three structures are acceptors, neurons and effectors. We have receptors among which are those for touch, taste, smell, temperature, light and sound. Skin contains many receptors. The

(129)

principal effectors are · muscles and glands. In controlling body functions the nervous system and the endocrine system both really function in the same way by secreting substances. Neurons do the secreting in the nervous system. Endocrine glands do the secreting in the endocrine system. In man hormones are distributed almost entirely by the circulatory system. In a far instances they have local effects near the place where they are secreted. Co-ordination in multicellular animals are governed by nervous systems and endocrine systems. Coordination usually occur in the central nervous system (governed by Saturn): Body response is through contraction by muscles or secretions by glands (governed by Moon). The ultimate purpose of co-ordination is survival- by maintaining the normal homeostatic conditions for the life of cells and responding to the environment in such a way by as to make further homeostatic control more probable. But for Man and possibly a few other animals, there is an extra something. A large part of our relation to environment results in intellectual activity or in what can be described, inadequately to the sure, as feeling of pleasure. Walking upstairs rapidly or running conditions make your muscle cells more active. ATP changes to DTP, energy is transferred. Glucose is oxidized changing ADP back to ATP, oxygen. combines with all the extra hydrogen atoms produced. As a result the muscle cells require more oxygen than when at rest. The overall result of the breaking of the glucose molecule is as follows :

C.H12O.+6H,0->6CO,+24H

Within the all, therefore glucose is broken down to form carbon dioxide molecules and hydrogen atoms. Most of the CO2 leaves the cell as a waste product, since much more is produced than the cell user. The hydrogen atoms one of great importance. In fact they will provide most of the energy needed to convert ADPto ATP.

C.H12O+602-> 6 CO2+6H2O + chemical energy->ATP - P->ATP + P-> Biosynthesis + heat + muscular contraction

Living cells require energy for their activities. The ultimate source of

(130)

this energy is sunlight. The energy is captured in the C-H bonds of glucose and other organic components. With in a cell, these organic compounds are oxidized in small steps with the liberation of large amounts of energy. The energy is used to make ATP from ADP.The ATP is then the intermediate source of energy in the cell. Regular exercise or walking or certain pranayams (follow Ramdev of Astha channel) keeps the body fit and make it free from diseases. Try to push your belly inside and then take more air inside your body. The new Oxygen will charge the tired battery installed by God at the time of birth (known as Chetana).

Hormones are known to be important substances for controlling biological processes in many kind of animals. Most of our knowledge of them is restricted to man and other animal with backbones Endocrine glands are regulators of the body. These glands secrete thousands of different types of hormones directly into our blood. And so the proper functioning of these controllers of our body is very important and most vital for sound health. The main function of these glands are to maintain the metabolism of the body, regulate the functions of all the organs and the brain, adjust the body against changing environment and thus protect the body against any illness by means of chemicals called hormones. Immunity system of the body is largely controlled by these glands. These glands play a vital role not only in the development of our body and mind but also in the development of our looks and even character. Thus they play a vital role in our well being and happiness. The glands that secrete hormones are known as endocrine or ductless glands (duct = tube trough which liquid passes) to distinguish them from exocrine, or duct glands. Endocrine glands empty their secretions into the blood, which there carries the hormones round the body. Exocrine glands empty their secretions via ducts into particular areas of the body. Salivary glands are exocrine glands. The pancreas is both an exocrine and an endocrine gland for it empties enzymes into the duodenum through a pancreatic duct and also releases hormone, insulin, into the blood. There are nine ductless glands.

(131)

1. Pituitary gland (governed by Sun, Mars and Moon) : This is regarded as the "conductor of endocrine orchestra". Its hormones regulate the secretions of hormones from all the endocrine glands. The Sun is the ruler of the front pituitary gland while the back pituitary is the ruled by Moon and Mars. The front pituitary is the gland of intellect. Aprominent front pituitary tends to a tall body and a strong intellect and to masculine expression. Men with weak front pituitary tend to be famine in expression i.e. lack boldness in replying questions. Pituitary secretion .ontrol.the secretions of thyroxin by thyroid gland, influence tlu rate of bone and body growth, the secretions of milk by m. nrnary glands, the development of ovary and testes, the activity of the adrenal cortex, the removal of water (ruler Mars) from the nephrons of the kidney and the contraction of the muscles of the uterus. The back pituitary establishes a link in the glandular system. It is wonderful to note that this gland has control over all the processes that the Moon rules blood pressure, period of gestation, mental disposition etc. An over active back pituitary causes the water to be retained in the system. An active thyroid however drives the water away. Somatotrophic hormones (STH) influence growth. over activity of the tissues results in accelerating growth in children, or giantism. Depending on the ' degree of over production, an adult can grow to a height in excess of nine feet. Under activity of the tissue producing somatotrophins results in dwarfism, a condition in which the growth of the child remains within 5 feet. In all 26 hormones are secreted by the pituitary. It is observed that children whose pituitary glands does not function properly, tend to become bullies, disobedient, liars, vagrants and it can even lead them to steal. When Lord of Lagna, sign Aries, Sun and Mars are afflicted or posited in evil houses, they all generate diseases concerning pituitary gland. All glands are ruled by Venus. So Venus should also be afflicted.

(132)

2. Pineal Gland (ruled by Ketn and Moon): It is situated in the middle of the brain and is very important. Biologists suspect that is an endocrine gland but they have not yet discovered its function or its hormones. According to Lankford, the pineal gland is partly glandular and a partly nervous structure, and is known to be center of sensation and emotions, at the same time it rules and directs all the ductless glands and the vegetative nervous system, thereby governing all the functions of organic life. It is also serves as a communicator centre between brain and other organs. The pineal gland is also associated with psychic and spiritual powers. Therefore we are inclined to feel that pineal gland is partly influenced by Ketu and partly by Moon. Premature development of sex system is due to malfunctioning of this gland.

3. Thyroid gland (Governed by Jupiter and Sun): It is located in the throat. It secretes Thyroxin C15H„O4LN. It was first isolated by Kendall(1919) and by Harington (1930) as a white crystalline solid, m.p 235℃. presence of iodine in the molecule of thyroxin, forced doctors to use iodine in salts. A lack of iodine in food or water. In absence of iodine swelling of the neck occurs (goiter is the disease). Thyroxin accelerates oxidation of food during internal respiration. Too little thyroxin exhibits, tiredness and mental retardation. An excess amount make a man lean and energetic. Too excess secretion leads to fatigue, weight loss, anxiety, sweating, diarrhea and intolerance to heat. Therefore, the secretions of this gland are necessary for the proper functioning of the mind. When Sun and Jupiter are strong in the horoscope, it indicates a strong thyroid, the subject being active mentally and physically. They are very energetic people. Thyroid is a small nutterfly haped gland located in the neck below the voice box. If Sun and Jupiter are in conjunction with or powerfully aspected by Saturn, Rahu or Mars without

(133)

corresponding benefic aspects, thyroid gland of the native is a abnormal or subnormal. It will make the person morose, given to looking dark side of life and finding fault with everything and · everybody, such a person is frequently overweight. Thyroid disorders are common, effecting more women than man. When eyes and enlarged it is exothalmic goiter. Injection of calcium or parathromone may be given for recovery. Sea fish containing much phosphorus will remove this disease. Genius is a matter of thyroid gland. The significators of 9th Bhava are Sun and Jupiter. So when Sun and Jupiter and 9th house are strong, genius people are born, when 9* house is strong, happy events in life should be foretold. Science appears to be greatly interested in the thyroid glands. The world famous originator of grafting technology Dr. Serge Voronoff grafted the thyroids glands of monkeys into man. With this technology, he cured mentally deficient people. An Israeli Dr. Reuven Feuerstein, has developed "Feuerstein Method" for helping low performance or retarded youngsters. It offers 14 sets of exercises which aim to improve intelligence and the ability to learn. It has been translated into some 17 langnages and is currently being taught in about 55 countries. Robert Sternberg, IBM professor of Psychology and Education at Yale University, comments, "Fenerstein will be remembered as one of the truly major figures of the 20th century in the human abilities movement. He has made a remarkable contribution to our understanding of abilities and their modifiability.

4. Parathyroid gland (Governed by Saturn and Mercury) : these are embedded in the thyroid gland. Their hormones controls body use of calcium and phosphorus. Too little of the hormone reduces the calcium level . and increases the concentration of phosphorus, and it is this that course bone to become brittle. The overworking of this gland leads to overweight, bulging, eyes, goiter and a tendency to become a

(134)

bully twisting of muscles, teeth problems, dullness of brain etc. These glands also secrete a liquid destined to govern the activity of our nervous cells. Evidently these glands are ruled by Saturn and Mercury .. Saturn is the lord of central nervous system and Mercury is the lord of peripheral nerve system. Deprived of secretion of the para-thyroids. the nerve system loses control of its actions. All the nervous cells enter into a state of mad excitation and the patient dies in frightful convulsions in a few days. When Saturn and mercury are afflicted, the body is reacted upon through para-thyroids which are four in number, secreting the hormone parathynin. When Saturn joins Mars and Rahu the body tends to lose calcium, the sodium in the body is affected and extreme nervousness is caused. Such a subject should use foods rich in calcium. vitamin-D or sunlight must be supplied This will ease the strain on para-thyroids and general tension under which the body labours.

5 Thymns gland (Governed by Moon) : It secretes thymin hormone which helps the growth of moustache and beard and it works upto the age of 12-16. in excess secretion, the native behaves like a boy (suffers from dullness). Antibodies are generated by this gland. The thymus is the organ through which the child receives mother's blood necessary to build the body. Since Moon is the karaka planet for mother it is reasonable to think that Moon rules thymus. The hormone in the thymus keep the lymphatic cells in normal quality and the body is protected against infection. The afflicted Moon acts on the Thymus and Vitamin B may added in the diet. Since mind is controlled by Moon, there all decisions and indecisions of mind are controlled by the Thymus. Child gets sick, in case this gland becomes active after 16, it brings dullness. Afflictions of Moon has not been praised by our seers. Moon becomes strong, when it kendras are occupied by benefics or yogakaraka. Aspect of Jupiter on Moon reduces much evil in life. When Moon becomes weak, other

(135)

planets also become weak. So Moon is the mother of all the planets. A child born with a large thymus gland continues to get bigger during childhood. When a child reaches the age of 13-14, the thymus begins to shrink. As long as the thymus gland is working, the sex glands are small. As the sex glands develop, the thymus gland stops working, this is why when a person has become sexually mature at the age of 22, he stops growing. Sometimes the sex gland develop too soon and slow up the thymus gland too early. This makes a man below average in height. If the sex glands develop too late, the thymus continues working and the person becomes taller than the average. After 40 or so we shrink about half an inch every ten years. The reason for this is the drying up of the cartilages in our joints and in the spinal column as we get older.

6 Pancreas gland (Governed by Mars, Jupiter and Venus) : The islets of langerhans, which are located in the pancreas, secrete insulin. This hormone has an important role in controlling the way glucose is used in the body. Familiar disease diabetes mellitus is a result of abnormal functioning of the islets of langerhans. A deficiency of insulin reduces the ability of the body to oxidize sugar. Large amount of sugar and water are excreted in the urine. Urine examination should be done periodically for people above 40 to detect diabetes. Excess sugar in the blood can also harm the other organs of the body as the eyes and nerves and the patient can also develop non-healing ulcers. Take sulphur drugs, Neem leaves (20/day), and Karela juice, germinated grams mixed with curd 50 gm/day for one month. Poet Rabindranath Tagore who lived for 80 yrs used to drink Neem juice daily. Jupiter indicates plenty, which therefore mainly controls the gland. Venus controls kidneys, blood is controlled by Moon and Mars. When Jupiter is afflicted one likes rich foods. The excess of the food may poison the blood and could cause a toxic condition.

(136)

7 Adrenal Gland (Governed by Mars, Venus and Jupiter): In human beings adrenal glands are located on the top of each kidney. Each adrenal gland consists of two distinct but intimately connected points, the core or medulla and the outer coat or cortex. An insufficient secretion of hormones from cortex results in an affliction called "Addition Disease". The sufferer becomes sexually impotent. An excess secretion may result in over development of the sex organs and premature ageing. In women, masculinization takes place, the breasts decreasing in size and deep voice developing along with the growth of hair on the face. The author first saw hairs on the faces of women in a Landon park in 1982. It controls production of biles and controls liver and flow of blood. Overworking leads to high BP. More biles lead to acidity and vomiting and severe headache. Let us study the horoscope of a female, who has developed hair on her face and masculine behaviour.

Example 8. Beard of a woman : DOB 31-12-1981/11-37 PM/Calcutta, Virgo - Ascendent Mars, Saturn; Libra Jupiter; Sagittarius Sun, Mercury, Ketu; Capricorn Venus; Aquarius Moon, Gemini Rahu.

She is in the final year of computer science M.Tech in "A" grade college Jup 5 in 2006. She will come out with this 7 4 degree in July 2007. Her Moon and 8 Mar Sat

Sun are posited in positive signs Mer 6

Sun 9 Ket 3 Rah increasing her masculine 12

characteristics. Her Jupiter is debilitated in Navamsa. Since Ven 10 2 11 Venus is in the house of Saturn and Mon

Saturn-Mars conjunction in Lagna is squared by Rahu-Ketu axis, we can assume her both Venus and Mars are afflicted. Malefics in Lagna spells trouble for the native conjunctions of 6th/8th/12th lords will multiply problems for the

(137)

native since Saturn is posited with 8th lord Mars, we find she has weak 8th lord, weak Saturn. For a prosperous life one should have strong Saturn, strong 8th lord, and a clean 9th house. Her 9th lord is posited in 5th and Jupiter occupies the 10h house from 9th lord. For this good yoga she is taking the highest education available in the country. Her weak 4* lord (it is debilitated in navamsa) added fuel to the fire. She is mentally. disturbed for the appearance of beard on her female face. Parijata Yoga is helping her to come up in life from a middle class family of Bengal, Her lord of lagna is placed in a square, whose dispositor is posited in the 2nd house, whose dispositor Venus is placed in the 51h house, forming this rare yoga.

8. Sex Glands (Governed by Mars and Venus): The testes of the male, in addition to producing sperms, secrete testosterone. It influences the change of voice, and other events involved in the maturing of the male. The ovaries of the female secrete several hormones that influence the maturing of the female and are necessary for the prenatal development of the human infant. The ductless glands are the most mysterious organs in the human body but the planetary influences are much more mysterious for they reveal what exactly a man in his physical, mental and moral set up. The living organism is a highly tuned and sensitive machine, it can make readjustments which enable it to go on living. For example, the heart can continue to operate after 6/10th of its tissue has been destroyed, and a man can go on living with only/ 1/3"d of his liver and 2/3rd of one remaining kidney. All animals and planets exist in a state of fine chemical balance with slight changes in varying extents, Co-ordination and chemical control of the body is done by these ductless glands.

Less functioning of thyroid, parathyroid, sex glands and adrenal glands cause Arthiritis, Paralysis and stroke. Take 8 pills of Calcaria Phos 200X once a week and 8 pills of Calcaria Phos 30X

(138)

daily for 40 days. Use blue light on the affected parts. Ketu and Moon rule the pineal gland. If well developed, glands give one or more types of psychic ability. Location of ductless glands in the body are as follows :

1. Pineal gland in the base of the brain. 2. Pituitary gland in the centre of head behind the nose. 3. Thyroid gland In the throat, above the wind pipe. 4. Thymus gland between the lung and above the heart. 5. Parathyroid gland beside or behind the thyroid and some may be within the chest region of the thymus gland. 6. Adrenals above the kidneys 7. Spleen At the left side of the stomach, in the upper part of he abdominal cavity. 8. Pancreas Behind the stomach in the abdomen. 9. Gonards (Ovaries and testes) Sex glands. The pineal gland seems to be the king of the ductless gland, supervising the others and controlling and regulating mental and bodily developments, although scientists know very little about it and often omit it in a discussion of glands. If the pituitary gland that controls height, nervous energy and sexual developments is removed, death occurs in two or three days. The thyroid is the main energy gland, regulates the iodine supply, controls the growth of the body and mind, increases or depletes one's energy according to its condition. The brain cannot function without it. The thymus gland probably promotes bone as well as sexual growth. The parathyroid glands are concerned with the regulation of phosphorus and calcium in the body. If the adrenals, which have to do with physical and nervous endurance, are removed, death occurs very soon. The spleen aids digestion and manufacture WBC. The pancreas is a sort of salivary gland in the abdomen, secretes insulin which breaks the sugar to glucose and fructose and aids digestion. Astrologically, the planets and

(139)

luminaries are not mere meaningless bodies or automatons wandering in the heaven but rather they are intelligences representing and ruling different areas and department of the body, mind and soul. The Sun for instance, is riot simply a large globular, gaseous mass of heat and light, but represents the soul, one's urge or drive for significance and is in fact the source of all life and its vitality. Jupiter is the most benefic planet in the divine cabinet which stands for wealth and success. and recovery power from diseases.

Role Of Minerals On Health:

Only very small or trace amounts of the following minerals are needed for normal body requirements, chromium (mushroom, peas), copper (liver), calcium (milk), magnesium (leafy green vegetables), phosphorous (fish, meat), fluoride (tea), iodine (iodized salt), iron (liver, egg, leafy vegetables), manganese (tea, nuts, pomegranates), molybdenum (nuts, liver) selenium (seafood, garlic), zinc (yogurts, nuts). Very less amount of lead is available in all municipal drinking water. Trace levels of lead increase IQ values. High levels of lead are very toxic in nature. Always use cold water for cooking. Avoid hot water from the tap for this purpose.

VITAMINS AND DISEASES

In 1911 two scientists, F.C. Hopkins and Casimir Funk, made the discovery that the human body requires something in addition to sugar, fat, proteins, salts and water. Without these traces certain foods cannot be utilized within the body, and it was shown by experiments on various animals that different organic substances were essential for the assimilation and use of specific foods. Whatever these substances were only minute quantities needed. Name Vitamin was first given by Professor Funk. Originally, Vitamins were thought to be organic catalysts or enzymes, because only minute amounts were required in the digestion of food. It is now known that they function as copartners to various enzymes. Some vitamins are soluble in water and other in

(140)

oil. The water soluble vitamins are the B complexes, and C, and these are the vitamins which pass out into water when food is cooked. The oil soluble vitamins are A.D, E and K, are retained within the cooked food. The oil soluble vitamin require bile from the liver before they can be released for absorption into the body. Today, science has come a long way toward learning what man must eat in order to be healthy. Some of the needs are for simple compounds, such as pure water and trace amounts of iodine. His food should also supply a balanced amount of proteins and carbohydrates. To construct some of our important enzymes, we need special organic molecules produced by green plants. We get them in amount 1 0mg a daily supply or ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), for human body cannot store it. He also requires frequent replacement of those Vitamins he can store, carotene (convertible into Vitamin A) thiamine (B,) riboflavin (B2orG), niacin (P-P), folic acid, cyanocobalamin (Vitamin B12), calciferol (Vitamin D) phylloquinone (Vitamin K1) and possibly still others. Vitamin A deficiency is a major source of blindness.

History of Vitamins : The idea of vital substances existing hidden in food stuffs is very old, although people were aware of it consciously. Father of medicine Hippocrates (460-370 BC) was actually recommending liver for night blindness. He was contemporary of Socrates (469-399 BC), the most learned man of Greece at that time. The American Indian were suggesting vitamin C in the same manner when they produced a leafy brew in Quebec for the French explorer Jacques Cantlier's (1491-1557) scurvy ridden man. In 1497 when Vasco de Gama sailed round the Cape of Good Hope, 100 out his 160 men died of scurvy. For the next 300 yrs scurvy was a major factor determining the success or failure of all sea adventures even after recognized by Lind 1753 and by captain James Cook (1728- 1779) that it results from the prolonged consumption of a diet devoid of fresh fruit and vegetables. He made lime juice mandatory for his crew, he was only recommending Vitamin C without knowing it. A scientist named Hawkins (1593) found that orange lemons were effective, a disease

(141)

particularly among seaman. In the same 18t century cod-liver oil, rich in vitamin A and D achieved fame in industrial England as a cure all primarily because it was rectifying prevailing dietary in adequacies. A century later the Japanese were fighting beri-beri by giving them barley. Vitamin BI deficiency causes this disease. The structure of vitamin C was elucidated by Haworth, Hirst and their co-workers (1932,1933). The molecnlar formula was shown to be C,HO6. Vitamin C behaves as an unsaturated compound and a strong reducing agent; it also forms a phenylhydrazone and gives a violet colour with ferric chloride. Structural formula of L ascorbic acid is:

-0-

COC= C- CH. - CH .-. CHOH L ascorbic acid

OH OH OH In the early twentieth century, in first world war, food deficiencies caused a great spur in research in vitamin. Around 1930 scientists found about 40 vitamins,. at least a dozen of which are essential to human beings. Professor A.S. Romer has called them "the odd and each of vitally needed materials". Others have called them hormones produced outside the body. One of the dominate characteristics of vitamins is the extremely small amounts need to keep a person healthy. Lack of vitamins causes a variety of diseases. Vitamin A, derived from carotene, a common substance in carrots and other yellow or orange plants is necessary for sensitive vision in semidarkness and a deficiency causes night blindness. We need 0.75 mg vitamin daily and about 22 gms in our total life span for about 80 yrs. Excess vitamin A can cause nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, sleep disorders, diseased skin and an enlarged liver. It may be of some interest to know that polar bear liver is an extremely rich source of vitamin A. Eskimos do not eat its liver (to protect themselves from toxic effect of vitamin A), nor do they give it to dogs. Even if given to doges, they instinctively avoid it. It is estimated that the liver of one polar bear may contain as much as 3 gm of vitamin A, which might seem very small but will appear large, when

(142)

we realize that his quantity is the average man's 10 year requirement. Dear parents do not allow your children to eat liver (of chicken, goat, ship, ox or other birds) and kidney. Give them sufficient yellow fruit juices (carrot, papaya, ripe guava, red pineapple, etc). Strength of Jupiter increases with intake of all yellow fruits made by God. God only writes sad episode about a person whose Jupiter is found weak in the horoscope. Jupiter is the lord of happiness, lord of wealth, health, wisdom etc. We synthesise vitamin D through our skins in contact with sunlight. Both A and D in excess amount are harmful for our body. Excess A and D cannot be excreted through urine. When they pile up in the body, they create serious problems. Remember vitamins are needed only in trace amounts. Vitamins B, and B2 occur in whole grains of such cereals as corn, wheat, and rice. They are necessary for carbohydrate metabolism and a deficiency of them brings about disturbances of the nervous system, muscle paralysis, dry skin and clouding of the lens or cataract. Milk, egg, green leafy vegetables, meat fish, cereals, pulses, fruits, groundnuts, will supply B, and B2 vitamins. Vitamin C is found in most fruits, but particularly in citrus fruits as oranges, lemons and grape fruit. This vitamin is necessary for the oxidation of amino acids and consequently the synthesis of proteins within the body tissues. Vitamin C deficiency effects the blood vessels, which may become fragile and burst, a condition known as scurvy. A lack of vitamin C also weakens bone structure and connective tissues and a lack of vitamin C there is swelling and bleeding of gums. The person becomes anaemic and susceptible to all kinds of infections. Vitamin C is the safest remedy for common cold, which prevents the formation of gall stones. This vitamin is important for the formation and maintenance of collagen, a protein widely distributed in the body. Collagen is the cementing material that holds the cells of the body together. It helps the production of tissues for quick post-operative healing and the maintenance of previously formed scar tissue. Vitamin C is essential for the reduction of ferric to ferrous in gastro-intestinal tract, so to facilitate the absorption of iron. It plays an important role in the normal metabolism

(143)'

of amino acids, tyrosine and in the function of adrenal gland. Fresh fruits and vegetables (when the vegetables become dry and stale most of the vitamin C originally presenting them is destroyed) are the main sources of vitamin C. Amla (Indian gross berry), orange, grapes, melon, pineapple, guava, leafy green vegetables, cabbage, mangoes, tomatoes are good sources of vitamin C. Dry pulses do not contain vitamin C but when they are allowed to sprout, vitamin C is formed in the grain and sprout. Fresh milk and meat contains only small quantities of vitamin C. human milk contains more vitamin C than cow's milk. The requirement of vitamin C is at least 50 mg daily. There is also an increased requirements of this vitamin during treatment with drugs, exposure to cold, infection and prolonged fevers. When there is loss of appetite, there is painful limbs, one should take excess vitamin C. B„,B6 and vitamin C are destroyed by heat. Vitamin D is known as the sunshine vitamin because the body is able to make it when the skin is exposed to ultraviolet rays of sunlight. The oils of fish livers are rich in vitamin D. Margarine, Vanaspathi, butter, also supply vitamin D. A deficiency retards chemical reactions associated with the bone forming salts of calcium and phosphorus artd the bones become soft and malformed. This disease is known as rickets. Defective tooth development may also result from a lack of this vitamin. Total requirement is 0.0025mg/day and 0.08 gms or 80 mg in whole life. Vitamin E is required during the early development of the embryo and for certain stages of respiration, This vitamin is widely distributed in plants. A deficiency may lead to muscular atrophy (wasting away) and abnormalities of the eye. We need about 10mg of this vitamin E/day. Oils from soybeans, sunflower, corn and cottonseed, nuts, wide range of vegetables food supply us vitamin E. So many fable myths are prevalent in the public mind about vitamin E, so that it should be called myth vitamin. Like some magic elixir, vitamin E is believed to cure impotency, infertility (infact it is called the infertility vitamin by some), heart disease, diabetes and muscle disorders. Unfortunately some · people believe that vitamin E is essential for skin and still some believe

(144)

by a relentless barrage of advertisement) That this vitamin can be absorbed through the skin, through such agents as soaps, fortified with vitamin E. It is pathetic to see people spending hard earned money on soaps fortified with vitamin E, of course vitamin E; or for that matter any vitamin, cannot be absorbed through the skin and surely it is not the , skin vitamin. In case of arthritis take vitamin E tablets. Consult a physician. Recent studies have shown 'low vitamin E can cause Asthma. Expectant mums should ensure they get enough Vitamin E. Vitamin E (tocopherols) has beneficial effect on the developing lung, the university of Aberdeen Researches believe it (TOI Sep 5, 2006P 29) Eggs, Vegetables oils, margarine and mayonnaise nuts and seeds fortified cereals contain enough Vitamin E. Vitamin K can be synthesized by intestinal bacteria (just like vitamin B12). long term administration of antibiotics kill these friendly bacteria and any person of antibiotic therapy will need additional vitamin K (and B12 too). It is found in high concentration in tomato and tomato juice. This vitamin is essential in the process of blood clotting, and.a deficiency may lead to hemorrhaging from quite small wounds, Dark green leafy vegetables, cow milk, fruit contains Vitamin K. We need 2 mg vitamin K per day or 59 gm in whole life. Most of the vitamins if taken excess, are rejected by the body and go down the drain through urine (not A and D). All B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9 and B12, are provided to the body by milk, egg, fish, meat, cereals (rice and wheat), pulses, liver, kidney, green leafy vegetables, fruits and cheese. Most B complex vitamins (as also C) suffer during boiling. Heating causes them to diffuse out into the cooking water. In India, the water after cooking rice is thrown away. Vitamin B, (thiamine) is readily lost from rice during the process of milling. Thiamine is also lost from fruits and vegetables during prolonged storage. That is why fruits and vegetables should be consumed fresh. Thiamine is destroyed in toast and in cereals cooking with baking soda. The main source of thiamine in the diet of Indian people are the cereals (rice and wheat) which contribute about 80% of our total amine requirement (2mg daily). Cereals and pulses are

(145)

relatively poor sources of vitamin B2 (riboflabin), but because of the bulk in which they are consumed by Indian people, they contribute much of the riboflavin we need (2.5mg daily). Germination increases the riboflavin content of pulses and cereals. Milk proteins (Paneer) is a rich source ofB3 (niacin). 60 mg of a amino acid tryptophan found in Paneer releases I mg of niacin. Meat, fish liver, egg, vegetables provide B6 in our body. The name of folic acid comes from the Latir word folia, which means leaf; so quite naturally green leafy vegetables are quite a rich source of folic acid (B.), overcooking destroys folic ac: Infact folic acid deficiency has been reported in babies given milk food subjected to heat sterilization. Vitamin B 12, cyanocobalamine is the anti pernicious anemia factor, and has been isolated from liver extract. Folic acid also has anti-pernicious obtained as a red crystalline substance and the elements present have been shown to be C,H,N,T, Co, Liver is the main storage site of B 12.about 2 mg is stored in the liver and another 2 mg elsewhere in the body. These stores can tide over any deficiency for 1 to 3 years because of this reserve, deficiency of B12 is very rare. It can resist heat. It is required in extremely minute quantities and get when that "speak" is not present serious disorders can result. Vitamins are the craze of the day. Many advertisements on TV, radio and in newspapers stress the importance of vitamins. People are made to believe that if they or their children regularly take the vitamin tablets of a particular company, they would become superman. Vitamins are undoubtedly essential to health and innumerable false beliefs in the minds of common people. Milk, curd, cereals, pulses, meat or fish or Paneer salad and some green vegetables will keep any body healthy through his life. Ice-cream,. Pastry. Coke, samosas increase, body weight. Try to remain slim, trim and smart. .One should never give trouble to his stomach, too much foods destroys health.' Author was surprised in USA, when he found most of the Americans are overeaten They consume 15-40 kg of food daily (3 liters milk, 4 liters of orange juice, I dozen egg, I kg meat, 1/2 kg potato, some rice, 0.5 kg ice cream,

(146)

1 kg bread, 2 kg fruits, 5 liters of beer and choicest varieties of wine. They keep their mouth busy with chewing gums.

Many overweight person are visible in every downtown (150-250kg). Even when best medical care is combined with good nutrition, life is not prolonged indefinitely. Every body has to die embracing diseases (heart attack, kidney failure, meningitis are the actual sources of death)

Saturated And Unsaturated Oil :

The human body is a complex and wonderful machine. Unsaturated fats are usually liquid at normal room temperature and are known as . oils. Fish oils, groundnut oil, mustard oil, sunflower oil, corn oils are all unsaturated fats which we use in our cooking. Saturated fats are solid at room temperature (Dalda Ghee, Desi Ghee butter, tallow, coconut and palm oils are saturated in nature). Thus on one hard unsaturated fatty acids are best and mandatory for life, on the other hand, saturated fatty acids are harmful. Excessively fat laden diet, especially with saturated kind, is a positive threat for your heart. Saturated fat is directly linked to vascular and heart disease. For metabolism of mineral elements, vitamins contained in fruits and vegetables are indispensable for human body. Rich fiber content of fruits and vegetables help in regular bowel movement and maintaining tone and tenor for the intestinal tact. For good health, food alone is no solution. What you need is a well regulated lifestyle and daily routine. Brisk walking, cycling aerobics and even a more formal workout in a gymnasium. These will help you consume your surplus body energy, as also give many indirect benefits. During fat digestion, lipids (fats and oils of living organisms) are broken down to fatty acids and glycerol (CH2OH. CHOH- CH2OH) by hydrolysis in the presence of enzymes.

There are two sorts of mantra, Guru-mantra and Bija mantra and they come to transmitted by Brahmanistha Shrotriya Satgurudev. Meditation without mantra is like a body without soul. True peace of mind, eternal bliss can be attained through the grace of the Guru and the systematic practice of mantra. Mantra overcomes karmic forces in Our lives and levels the vrittis (waves) in our chitta (consciousness). Meditation must be taught and guided by a master. Through meditation the psychic centers of Chakras are opened. The Muladhar Chakra is the seat of unconsciousness and Swadisthan Chakara is the seat of subconscious. In meditation all these part karmas and experiences become accessible. The continuous practice of mantra purifies and dissolves the Karmas .just as continuous comings and goings trample the weeds on the path.

The readers may note that Mr. Munda, ex-Chief Minister of Jharkand, brought Swami Ramdev Singh at Ranchi in March 2006 and took his blessings.

Face is the index of mind. Personality is to man what perfumes is to the flower. Morning shows the day and the face shows the man. Good grooming and right dressing sense add to the personality. Particularly in today's world (2007), good looks give you an edge over others. Looking good gives people, a sense of power for instance, when you know you're looking good, you enjoy the party, that conference or that client meeting even more. It's not because your looks will do the looking, it's because when you look good, even subconsciously you know that you've had a favourable impression. Like we said, first impression are lasting impressions. Looks are important, when you earn. Good looking guys are paid 5% extra compared to those who were plain. One cannot change his height, colour overnight but he can change his personality by taking the following eight steps. Someone wise said the first impressions are lasting impressions. Very true, after all, before the world find out how beautiful you might be inside, they get a good look at your outside. The face you present to the world, your entire personal, your body language ... everything goes a long way in making you YOU. And the better you look, the better it is for you when facing the big, bad out there. Try to improve in the following line for presenting yourself in the society where you live. Eyes : Apart from light make up, you can make your eyes look great by sleeping well and getting your eyebrows shaped properly. Even

(162)

changing the frame of your glasses can drastically change how you look.

Smile : Yes it is the magic mantra. Smiling face can conquer your enemies, critics etc. How good to watch a smiling baby. Nobody tolerates a grave face. Grave face is needed after 50 yrs or so, when somebody occupies a big chair. Hair : Healthy hair looks good. It should be combed property to find you more attractive in a mirror. Try to be a hero. Figure : Yours' forgiven for not having a perfect figure. However, , always wear something that flatters your figure. It's as simple as not wearing anything too tight. Posture: Walk tall, your shoulders pulled back, your spine straight, your chin up. Slouching or looking down when walking tells, people that you're under confident.

Clothes : Do not wear old clothes. Brand new shirts ironed properly makes you smart. Have a good choice for the colour. Ask people you in which colour you look extra-smart, white shirts, light coloured: shirts are good. What you wear often determines whom you attract to! Hands : Shaking hands, moving hands when talking hands are always in focus. Keeping your nails well groomed, hands clean and well moistured always helps,

Shoes : The Snazziest outfit can be completely killed by the wrong footwear. You don't have to wear fancy stuff. Just make sure your shoes are neat, clean and smart. !

When you are in good health and take care of yourself on the inside, it's bound to radiate on the outside. Looking good means feeling good. Good grooming and the right dressing sense adds to the persona. Particularly in today's world, good looks give you an edge over others.

Sage Parasar has given too much of importance on Lagna and its lord. When Lagna and Lord Lagna are strong the native does well in life. When the Lagna, its lord or Moon are not being aspected by a single

(163)

planet, the Raja Yogas does not bear fruits. Mercury, Saturn, Ketu, waning Moon in Lagna reduce height. Jupiter gives medium height. Rahu talls the body. Lagnesh in Gemini, Leo, Sagittarius and Aquarius gives tall body, Aries, Virgo, Scorpio and Libra give medium height, and Taurus, Pisces, Cancer and Capricorn give shot stature. Strong Venus provide charismatic outlook. When, Venus is exalted or in Lagna or in 7th or 10th produces robust body. Malefics in Kendras forces the native to suffer from various diseases. Kendras are the · >illar of the .horoscope. When Moon is hemmed between benefics eyes are beautiful (eyes are controlled from the 2"d/12"h house). Mooh and Sun control .our light in eyes. A strong benefic in the 4th house, assures happiness in life. When two or three benefics in the kendras from Moon or Lagna, it assures long life. Combust Lagna lord produces ill-health. 2nd house/2ªd lord rules face. Venus is the 2nd lord of the zodiac. So when 2nd house/2nd lord and Venus are well placed in the horoscope, one has a beautiful face. Lord of Lagna and Venus aspected by Jupiter will provide beautifnl face, with attractive appearance. The Sun associated with Lagna or 2"d lord is not condnctive to good looks and can give thin, sparse hair on the head. The dispositor of 2nd lord is in dusthana or conjunction of 2nd lord with dry. planets (Sun and Mars) will also provide bad looks. When Lagna is squared by Rahu-Ketu axis and no benefic planets influence the Lagna, the native becomes a bald headed person. I know a case Example 9 : (DOB 21.10.1960, 20=55 hrs, Hyderabad) whose lord of Lagna Venus is placed in Scorpio hemmed' between Mar

malefics and Lagna is squared by Rahn 3 4 12 Ketu axis. He started losing Hair from the 2 age of 28, by 33 he lost all hair. He moves Rah 5 11 Ket DO in the society with a wig. However he has Ven an attractive body and face. 2"d house is 10 heavily afflicted by Saturn, Mars and 6 7 9 Mer Sun Sat Jup Ketu, which nltimately, accelerated the Mon process of losing hairs.

Remedies for Suntan, stretch marks or burn marks on the face:

Use a face mask (suitable for all skin types) comprising dry neem leaf powder, sandalwood powder jasmine flower powder or turmeric power. Wait for an hour. Then wash with lemon water. It is a great medicine against aging, discoloured skins. A glow will appear on the face. Boil Neem leaves and take bath with this water for a overall glow on the body. Secrets of ageless living (100-150 yrs.): In 2007, we are observing, most of us look for safer, more convenient and medically sound way to live longer, empower ourselves and remain healthy throughout life, We may refer to it as "quality longevity. Mrs. Martina Novrilata is playing tennis for the last 38 yrs. even at the age of 50 in 2007. She won numerous grand slams in tennis. Brian Lara the great cricket player made the world record of the 400 :' runs in an innings at the age of 35. People above 70 in India are engaged l in jobs. God has given extra 10yrs to everybody as a bonus in 21$ Century. So have no fear of death up to 80 yrs. We have all seen our grandparents and parent grew old and most of us protest against the idea of aging in the same way they did. Try some of thee modern strategies to lives longer, feel and look younger (1) sharpen your mind a sharp mind helps in staying fit. We are more inclined to have good relationships, eat well and live a healthy life style with a sharper mind. Doing mental aerobics can improve memory and lower your risk for : Alzheimer's disease. Arecent study found that when we keep our minds active, brain efficiency increases dramatically even after a few weeks. Try different approaches to expanding your mental horizons whether it is traveling to new destinations or learning a musical instrument or developing reading hobby. Stay mentally active through puzzles, games, reading and other stimulating hobbies, but be sure to train and not strain your brain. Abandon anger, which is very harmful for health. Stay cool even in difficult days of life. I met the highly qualified

(165)

persons throughout the globe and found them healthy throughout their lives. They are the apostles of peace, nonviolence, very generous and always willing to help you (2) Cultivate healthy relationships socially connected people have longer life, expectancies than socially isolated individuals. One should be busy in life, joining, charitable organizations schools, colleges, in place of worships etc and should indulge in non-violence acts. The terrorists who get pleasure in killing, ultimately are bring brutally killed by his own destiny pattern. Thieves can rarely enjoy the stolen money. First cultivate higher moral values and then preach them for the benefit of mankind. One should acquire sound education before becoming a teacher. (3) Reduce stress regular meditation (do Pooja or follow the guidelines of Swami Ramdev in Astha Channel and also boost the immune system. Wash the face with cold water in the morning and evening and sit quietly for 5 minutes closing the eyes. If your have deep anxiety in mind tell it to your friends and relax. Speak less. leave all the solvable (such as severe financial hardships) problems to God. A bird never thinks for tomorrow. Deep thinking powers will solve all the problems of life. Satisfied people are twice as likely to survive composed with dissatisfied individuals. Attending a house of worship once a week is associated with a seven years longer survival compared with never attending. Temples, Churches, Mosques do some work in increasing the life span of an individual. Visit some important shrine at least once in 5 years (Tiruputi, Ajmer, Mecca, Rome, Amarnath, Kedarnath, Badrinath, Rameshwaram, Jagannath Temple at Puri, Ma Kali at Kalighat in Kolkata, ISCON Temples etc). Take deep bath in Ganges once in 5 years either in Hrishikesh or in upper mountains. Lastly sleep in a noise free room. Avoid smoking/drugs from 60 onwards. Keep your face clean and wear good clothes, think positively in all matters of life. Never entertain destructive thinking (such as dacoity, murder, harming the interests of others) and conquer Jealousy. Your bed should be neat and clean with laundry washed bed sheets. Swami Sanatan Shree is now 94 yrs who lives in Lucknow. He always wear clean clothes, keeps

(166)

his face neat and clean. Besides Pooja, he reads many new books. He loves astrologers. Other eminent Indians who are above 90-100 are, artist M.F. Hossain who just went to Germany for watching the world football cup match, in June 2006. At 90 he is energetic and youthful, Jyoti Basu at 96 dreaming to become the President of India, Siddhartha Shankar Roy at 96 is earning millions as an eminent lawyer, Atal Behari Vajpai, L.K. Adwani are senior most politicians of India who are still active beyond 80 years, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi is living in Holland where he is propagating the messages of Hindu Religion at the age of 96. In man the composition of blood must be kept remarkably constant. If the concentration of oxygen is only slightly below normal, the individual becomes unconscious. There is only a trace of calcium ions (ca++) in blood plasma the concentration is about 0.0001. if the concentration drops to about 0.00005 i.e. half of the normal level, the individual goes to convulsion and dies. The blood supplies glucose to cells. The normal concentration of glucose is about 0.0007. If the concentration drops to half i.e. 0.00035, convulsions and death are the result. If the glucose level rises to 0.0012 and remain there, the individual develops the disease diabetes. Diabetes patient fails to cross 75 yrs or so. pH of the blood should be alkaline (take dry fruits) for crossing 100 yrs on this globe. Take neem leaves or Karela juice or juice of Sheowli regularly for maintaining the sugar level of blood. Always eat as less food as possible after 50. Take regularly curd. Curd : maintains the pH level of blood (at 7.4) and calcium level.

Antiaging diet : People above 60, who follow a vegetarian diet and engage in a prudent lifestyle show increased life expectancy. Eating fish once in a week will eliminate chronic eye diseases. Alzhimers disease etc. Omega 3 fatty acids are credited with keeping arteries i healthy and reducing the stickness of platelets in the blood. Nature has I created many coloured fruits and vegetables. By eating a coloured dish daily (such as squash, carrots, peppers, melons, berries, apples, beet roots, papya, pomegranate) one can increase life span beyond 100 yrs easily. Make sure your drink 6-7 glasses of water daily. Antioxidants

(167)

are molecules that interact and stabilize free radicals, preventing the damagethey might cause. Top 10 antioxidant fruits are Prunes, Raisins Blueberries, strawberries, Raspberries, plumps, oranges, grapes, cherries; kiwi. Top 10 antioxidant vegetables are Kale (cabbage), spinach, Brussels sprouts, Broccoli, beets, red peppers, onions, corn, eggplant, carrots. Take multivitamin tablets (B12) once in a month after 50 or so. Older adults produce inadequate amount of stomach acid and therefore can no longer properly absorb B12 from food. Japan has the longest life expectancy in the world, what is their diet secret? Lots of grains, vegetables, soya, and fish, less meat, poultry and dairy. Never eat excess food. Eat as much less food as you can beyond 75 or so. Take only fruits/vegetables/B12 tablets/fish soup beyond 80yrs or so. Take daily walks. Exercise not only preserves muscle strengths but also improves appetite and mood. Cinnamon, mint (pudeena), ginger, cumin, cardamom can help digestion. A small amount of bitters (neem, Karela) can promote digestion and alleviate flatulence. Turmeric is a natural antibiotic. Taking a piece of raw Turmeric with honey removes wrinkles on the face and an aura radiates from the face. One can look much younger by drinking ginger tea or ginger juice and raw turmeric (kachha Haldi). The Chinese were using ginger as long as 6h century BC. The zingiberaceke family includes ginger, cardamom and turmeric. Banana is a distant cousin. Cardamom is used widely in Scandinavia in breads and pastries. Pineapple works against gout. Health is wealth. It is not necessary to have to much money but it is urgently needed for enjoying his life on this beautiful planet earth. Those who have benefics in Kendras, not retrograde, malefics in 314/11th houses, 8th/12t house are free can take a challenge to live more than 150 yrs in the 21st century, and more than 300, yrs in the 22nd century. Retrograde planets in trines contribute to longevity. In 2007 in Japan alone more than 30,000 people are living who are above 100 yrs.

CHAPTER - 4

LONGEVITY

H oroscope is the horary map of heavens at the time of birth, which is a storehouse of all information, regarding health, wealth, name and fame, litigations, longevity, success, happiness, failures etc. between birth and death. When one is born everyday he may face the death threat. There is actually no guarantee of a fixed span of life. However our wise sages framed certain astrological guidelines for assessing the quantum of life span on one's sojourn to this beautiful planet earth. The birth marks the descent of the soul on earth and its embodiment. Death means the shedding of the body sometimes willingly (suicide), sometimes through violent incidents such as serious accidents, wars, flood, earthquake, snakebite or through natural aging processes. Certain serious illness cut short one's mundane. journey quite unexpectedly (cancer, aids, Jaundice, kidney failures etc.) So everybody should try to avoid diseases and accidents as much as possible. Life is like a candle flame, which can be extinguished by hostile air. One should guard his life properly with sound knowledge about health and diseases. In this book I have explained how one can live about 80 years without any disease. Though

(169)

technological advances and breakthrough discoveries in surgical procedures and treatment have been making headlines, there is no guarantee of a patient's life. In the example 10, the native lost his life only for an unsuccessful operation. I'm sure he took a wrong decision about the brain surgery at Apollo Hospital, Delhi. The Muhurta of operation should be fixed by an competent astrologer. Even if there is no disease, no accident, one can die all of a sudden without any notice through heart failures. When Saturn aspects Sun, Sun is weak, Moon is weak, and Leo is afflicted one dies all on a sudden. Sun, Moon, Janma Lagna are the hylegs of life. Whent, Sun, Moon and Janma Lagna are aspected by benefics one lives long. It is difficult to live beyond 65 yrs when both Sun and Moon are aspected by Saturn. Sri M.C. Bhandari, an eminent personality of India, the founder of Bharat Nirman and Mystic India died in London at a very young age due to heart attack, whose both Sun and Moon were,influenced by Saturn. There is no justification, reasons cannot be explained for the name and fame of a native whose Sun is aspected by divine Jupiter. All the natural benefic planets should be posited in benefic houses and malefic planets should occupy the malefic houses. Longevity is controlled from the 8h, 3rd and 10th (8th from 3rd) houses. Afflicted 8* house with Sun, Mars, Rahu, Ketu and Saturn produce violent deaths. Mars in 81h is never welcome. The best place for 8th lord in 8*, 3rd, 6th and 12th house. Retrograde benefic planets in Kendras does not help the native in promoting longevity. All the retrograde planet in 8th house invariably curtails the longevity of the person. Sun, Moon, Mercury and Venus increase the longevity of the person in 8th.According to the author Jupiter is neutral in the 8th house. It never promotes longevity in 8 *. One the other hand, since Jupiter is the planet of hope, happiness, recovery power, wealth etc. One has to work very heard for money when he has Jupiter in the 817 .. house. There are numerous Balarista yogas or combinations and majority of them revolve round the Moon's position at birth. Balarista Yogas limit life up to 32 yrs Moon is the mother of all planets. When Moon is weak, other planets also become weak. The Moon in the

(170)

Gandata part of a Nakshatra, if aspected or conjoined with a malefic planet make the child meet with early earth (the first quarter of Ashwini, Magha and Moola and the last quarter of Aslesh, Jyestha and Revati are know as Gandantas) the same result is also shown by the Moon occupying the Mrityu or fatal parts of different signs or if aspected by a malefic planet. According to Jataka Parijata the fatal points are 8°(Aries) 25° (Taurus), 22° (Gemini) 22° (Cancer), 21° (Leo), 1° (Virgo) 4° (Libra), 23° (Capricorn), 20° (Aquarius) and 10° (Pisces). Longevity is closely tied up with the strength of Ascendant and its lord. Afflictions to the Ascendant directly or indirectly render its strength to withstand collapse or death fragile and therefore adversely affect the longevity. Benefics in 1*/2n4/4th/5th/7th/8th/ 9th/10h/11 houses and malefics in 3rd, 6h, 11t give good longevity. Two malefics in 6*, shatters physical health. Sun in a day birth or unaffiliated Moon in night birth in the 11th ensures good longevity. Saturn, the karaka or natural significator of Ayus, in the 81h house is an asset for a long life. The author has observed many cases, when the native perished with Saturn in 8th at a young age. For a long life Kendras should be influenced by benefics such as Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and strong Moon. So it should be understood when Saturn occupies 8" house, Kendras are occupied by benefics one will live very long. The ascendant lord in 2nd/3rd/11th can give reasonably good longevity but some where in the range of 65-75 yrs. Ascendant lord in Dusthanass rarely gives a life span beyond 60 yrs. Ascendant occupied or aspected by its lord and the Moon well placed free of afflictions confers a long life. The two prime factors - a strong ascendant and the Moon not only take longevity into the purnayu range but can even extend it to at least 85 yrs. the Ascendant lord in Quadrants/Trines cannot aspect the Ascendant, but generates good longevity. This could be the range of 75-85 yrs. The 4* house rules vehicles and 8th house longevity. If these two house are related then accident happen while undertaking a journey during the period related to these houses (AM, 1990,423). If airy, fiery, watery and earthy signs are involved, the

(171)

accident may be due to air crash, fire, , water or on the ground respectively. Debilitated Ascendant lord if associated or aspected by malefics gives short life and harms the prospect of the house he is placed in.

Short life : 1. The maximum life will be 32 yrs when the ascedant lord and its dispositer is devoid, of aspects of benefics. 2. Atmakaraka is placed 3rd from Lagna. 3. When Mars Saturn, Sun are in conjunction in 6/8t from Lagna with no benefics influences on them. 4. When the Moon in 1$/6/8/12 is aspectd by a malefic and there are no benefics in Kendras. 5. When Moon in conjunction with malefics occupies the Lagna, the 8th, 7th or 12th with no benefic aspects and there are no benefics in Kendras. 6. If 8th house, 8t lord are afflicted, malefics occupy the 12 house, one dies early.

Medium Life : 1. When lagnapati and 8th lord are posited together one may live upto 48 yrs. 2. Saturn and Jupiter in any sing assures medium life, since all the four spiritual houses are in control. 3. When the 8th lord is in a Kendra in a fixed sign and 8th house hasno benefics it shows a 40 yrs span. 4. If all the malefics occupy 64/8/12h from lagna lord and the benefics be in houses other than 8, it gives 60 yrs. 5. If the Lagna lord and Moon sign lord join the 8th lord and Jupiter be in any house, other than Lagna and Kendra, it shows 65 yrs. 6. Ascendant lord and the 8th lord are in quadrants.

Long life : 1. When the 8th lord is posited in the 5th house from the dispositor of Moon, one live upto 95 yrs. 2. If the 8th lord is posited in a trine house from Lagnapati, one will have a long life. 3. There should not be any planet in the 8th house either from Moon or ascendant and Venus and Jupiter should be powerful. 4. When the 8th lord is posited in 5th/9th one lives between 65-75. 5. Strong lord of Lagna, Lagna, 8th lord, 3rd lord, Saturn benefic planets in angles (1,4,7 & 10) assure long life to the 'native. Let us study seven practical case histories. All the horoscopes are from the research diary of the author.

Example 10. Death for brain cancer : DOB 08-08-1937, 1.00 AM, Khulna.

His Deha lord is placed in Jeeva sign and is hemmed between malefics. Contact of Deha and Jeeva signs are never welcome for a long innings oflife. Deha Rasi is also heavily afflicted. God granted him 68 yrs. of life; for the presence of Sun and Saturn in Upachaya houses, and two natural benefics in the 4th house. Any retrograde planet in the 8th house curtails longevity. For horoscopic indications to flourish Deha and Jeeva signs should not be afflicted by malefics. He never suffered from any serious disease., Cancer caught him at the fag end of life and killed him. When all benefics are weak, Rahu and Mars are posited in any sign, Cancer may occur. His Jupiter is

(173)

retrograde in the 81h house: Both Moon and Mercury are squared by Rahu Ketu axis. His karmic control planets have generated 6/8 relationships, and hence did not allow him to pile up money. He started his life with Rs. 400/= month, but is son started his life with Rs. 1 lakh/month. When Saturn and Mars join or concentrate their forces opposite to Rahu, cancer appears in the body. In Vimsottori he died during 81h lord Jupiter's dasa. In KCD also he died during'Jupiter dasa. Jupiter is placed in the 6th house in Navamsa and hence generated disease in the body. His lord of Lagna was hemmed between malefics and was aspected by Mars and 8th lord Jupiter. Lagna was unaspected by benefics. Weak lord of Lagna, and weak Lagna does not promote long innings of life. He was passing sade sati at the time of death.

He died in Libra dasa. 8th lord is placed in the 2nd in Deha Rasi and is a.combust planet. Goddess Laxmi will never visit the native when 6/8th lords are in Deha and Jeeva signs. His Lagna, Deha and Jeeva signs are afflicted. Dangers and downfalls are always as sure as sunrise when the both Deha and

(174)

Jeeva rasis are ill occupied. If these are occupied by Mars, Saturn, Rahu or Ketu, the native will suffer misfortune, illness etc, his life span and health is under severe threat. Deha = Physical fra.me, Jeeva = life's force. When both these houses are occupied by malefics apprehension, calamity, anguish, fear, great risk are indicated. Two or more malefics in them may cause unnatural death. Afflicted Deha and Jeeva signs terminated his life span at a very young age. It is written in the literature, weak Moon does not allow the life span to go beyond 32 yrs. All the Kendars of Moon are occupied by malefics. 5th, 9t lords are heavily afflicted by Saturn. From Sept. 2003 he was suffering and died on 18.10.2005at 12 mid night during Jupiter-Venus-Rahu dasas. As per KCD he died during Tula dasa. Tula dasa started when he was 13 yrs. Tula rasi is heavily afflicted by Pluto, Saturn, Mars and Ketu. Its lord Venus is a combust planet. Quite naturally Tula dasa put an end to his mundane journey. When Sun, Moon and Lagna are afflicted, one may have cancer. His all the hylegs of life, Surya Lagna, Chandra Lagna and Janma Lagna are heavily afflicted. He was at the last phase of sade sati at the time of death.

Examplel2. Dead body was found with smashed face on 05-05-06 : DOB 16-5-1966/7=12P.M./Calcutta.

died during Tula dasa. As per Vimsottori dasa he died during Venus Mercury Mercury dasa. His Deha Rasi is occupied by 8th lord Mercury. Further this 8* lord Mercury is placed with its enemy Mars and is under papakartari yoga. Goddess laxmi will'never visit the native if 6th/8th lords occupy Deha and Jeeva signs. Heavily afflicted 8h lord, afflicted Deha Rasi cut shot his mundane journey. His Kendras are devoid of benefic influence. Jupiter in 8th did not promote his longevity. Sages are silent on the role of Jupiter in the 8th house, so far longevity is concerned. Since 6th/8h lords are placed in 6th house, a conspiracy behind his murder is to be anticipated. Taurus Rasi governs face. His face was smashed because Taurus was heavily afflicted by Sun, Rahu and Saturn. Saturn is influencing both Sun and Moon, this very bad factor decreased his life span. All the hylegs of life are afflicted which added fuel to the fire.

Example 13. Died in dropsy disease : DOB 2-7-1923, 6=47PM, Bankura, Birth Chart.

day at 1.00 AM. The reason for his death was multiple organ failnres during Venus Venus dasa as per Vimsottori. 6th lord's dasa brought immense sufferings for him. Dropsy is a disease in which watery fluid collects in the cavaties of tissue of body. Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are watery signs. When these signs and their lords are afflicted one suffers from dropsy. His Cancer is hemmed between malefics, Saturn aspects both Scorpio and Pisces. So he suffered from dropsy. He also ' .. broke his right thigh bone in the bathroom in Sep. 02. 2ªd/6/10* house ( govern bone.

Dispositor of Mars, Mercury is conjoined with 6th ; lord Venus in Taurus, squared by Rahu-Ketu axis. 2nd lord is aspected by [ Mars. So as per astrological rules he suffered for bone fracture just before his death. He could not eat anything between Aug 2002 to 16- 10-2002. 5/9 relationships of Deha and Jeeva signs made him a successful man of the society. Aspect of Jupiter on both Moon and Sun prolonged his life, and provided him name and fame also. He helped his 9 hapless brothers and sisters to come up in life. Conjunction of 5th/9h lord in 7th house generated a Raja Yoga for him. He had partial Adhi Yoga. His both the sons are M.Tech engineers and are well settled persons of the society .. Saturn in the 8th house-Moon granted him a long life. Venus is debilitated in navamsa. Hence Venus Venus dasa brought immense sufferings in his golden life. He only suffered for 3 months before he was silenced by God. He died in Pondichery., far away from his birthplace. Conjunction of 8h lord with Ketu and Uranus in the 3rd house made his death shrouded with mystery. Nobody was present by his side, when the God of death visited him. Example 14.

CHAPTER 5

DISEASE AND ITS CURE

HEART DISEASE AND HYPERTENSION

here are four reasons of death. Heart failure, coronary thrombosis (80% persons die of heart failure), kidney failure, brain failure (such as a brain meningitis) chocking (such as drowning, due to poisonous gas, buried under ground due to earth quake etc.). Since majority of the persons die ont of heart attack, we shall try to understand through the magic eyes of astrology, who will die of heart attack and at what age. The human heart is a donble pnmp. The left ventricle pumps blood to all parts of the body except lungs. This blood supplies the cells with digested food substances and oxygen. It also collects carbon dioxide and nitrogenous wastes. This blood returns to the right side of the heart and then is pumped to the lungs. Thns the blood must pass though lnng capillaries, gaining oxygen and losing carbon dioxides (CO2), before it is pumped around the body once again. In one minute, the heart pumps VA gallons of blood to the body. In the average person, the heart beats 72 times a minute or 2,600,000,000 times in a normal span of 70 years. Within snch a life time, the heart moves 450,000 tons of blood. The heart rate and therefore the pressure of the blood is

(181)

also affected by chemical changes in the blood. Blood has a pH value 7.4 slightly alkaline in character. If the acid level of blood rises, as it does in diabetic patients, the heart muscle is stimulated to contract faster. High concentration of carbon dioxide in the blood, will also cause the heart to beat faster. Finally, a number of hormones, adrenalin for example will accelerate the heart rate. Hemoglobin, a conjugated type of protein is the red colouring mater of the blood. Its normal concentration is 14-16 gm/100ml. The most important property of hemoglobin (Hb) is its power to combine with oxygen to form an easily dissociated compound known as oxyhemoglobin (HbO2). The affinity of hemoglobin for carbon monoxide is about 250 times greater than its affinity for oxygen. It has been found from the reports in Newspaper, if anybody has to sleep overnight in a A/C car, he may die due to the formation of car boxy hemoglobin (HbCO) in the blood. So nobody should try to sleep in A/C car, closing all the doors. At least 5-6 people died in 2006 in Gurgaon Area in carbon monoxide poisoning. The main function of the blood is to transport various materials to all cells of the body, blood also provides the temperature regulating and defensive mechanisms.

Blood Pressure :

While the heart is the organ responsible for maintaining the pressure of blood, in the vascular system, there are many factors responsible for minor changes in the pressure. In case of severe shock, such as that experiencing after an accident or severe emotional disturbance, certain capillaries dilate to such an extent that they absorb nearly all the blood remaining in the blood system. Unless the blood volume be made up quickly by means of transfusion, the person may die. A Doctor is to deal with such as situations by the temporary expedient of administering a drug, which cause the arteries to constrict and so to squeeze the blood back into the major vessels again. As the body-ages, the inner walls of the blood vessels may become encrusted with calcium and other mineral deposits. This seriously reduces the diameter of the cavity of the individual vessels, bringing about a rise in blood pressure, and an

(182)

increased heart rate. Three things may occur under these circumstances. First the blood vessels, being brittle, may rupture and cause internal bleeding or hemorrhaging. If this occurs death may result depending on the extent of the bleeding. Second, vessels may affect the two kidneys and other important organs. Third, the now uneven inner surface of the encrusted blood vessels may cause the blood to clot. This plug or thrombus may do no harm in this side but, when dislodged, it may enter the small coronary artery cutting off the blood supply. The result is called occlusion and a coronary occlusion is one of the most frequent causes of sudden death in men aged between 40-71. The walls of blood vessels can become thickened by deposits other than mineral ones. Cholesterol is a useful fatty substance made in the body. Too much cholesterol in the blood, however, may cause the conditions known as atherosclerosis, whereby the walls of the blood vessels become coated with cholesterol. Coronary thrombosis or occlusion of the coronary vessels by a thrombus, very often results from a clot, formed by the cholesterol thickened walls of blood vessels finding its way to the heart. The kidney regulate the amount of water and the concentration of certain chemicals in the blood. Malfunctioning of this organ may bring about a change in the viscosity of the blood and a consequent increase or decrease in blood pressure. A change in the level of production of albumins and globulins also affects the viscosity and hence the pressure of blood in the vessels. High blood pressure decrease longevity. Too low blood pressure affects the kidneys. In mammals and birds it serves as a mechanism for distributing heat and regulating body temperature. Certain chemicals in the blood bring about blood clotting to stop leaks in system that are large enough to be serious. Other chemicals such as hormones serve to regulate various body functions. The mean ideal pressure level for an adult is 120/80 mercurial pressure. If the blood pressure of a person is. 120/70 it is a case of low blood pressure. It is more than 150/90, the person is said to be hyper-tensive person suffering from diabetes, kidney trouble or eye disease in said to be hyper-tensive even if blood pressure is 140/90. The higher the blood pressure, the greater to the damage to the walls over

(183)

the months or years that a patient has to suffer because of hypertension. Rheumatic fever is a disease of the childhood and adolescence related to infection with group a haemolytic streptococci, which may effect the heart leading to carditis stenosis (inflammation of the heart) or narrowing of the mitral valve, resulting in decrease of blood flow from the left atrium to the left ventricle. If left untreated, it will lead to failure of the left side of the heart and consequently the right side also. The tricuspid (2 upper chambers of heart are known as atria, 2 lower chambers are know as ventricles) valve may also be involved in rheumatic fever, causing its stenosis. Apart from these cases, there are also aortic valve stenosis and pulmonary valve stenosis leading to heart failures. The most common cause of death, among people today is the "heart attack" or myocardial infarction wherein the total occlusion of 2 or 3 major coronary arteries leads to necrosis of the myocardium when there is imbalance between coronary blood supply and myocardial demand. Obesity, stress, smoking, hereditary factors increase the risk of heart attack. Homocysteine (an amino acid) present in the blood is slowly emerging as the single largest risk factor for heart diseases and strokes (TOI,June 27,2006 P13). A deficiencyof folic acid, vitamins B6 and B12 contributes to hyperhomocysteinemia or increase in the homocysteine levels, which is turn increases the risk of heart attack.

Astrological Factors : We should not unnecessarily feel sorry by observing the happenings in the world. This world and all other worlds in this universe will function as per their own system. We are not creators of those systems and therefore leave their questions to their creator. Astrology is a science of knowing one's character, potentialities, limitation etc. Precise predictions about a particular event can generally be made by an astrologer. One can understand from an astrologer about his character, tendencies, attitudes, favourable and unfavourable period and situations and can decide to take action best suited to him in that situation. What we anticipate seldom occurs; what we least expect generally happens. God does not want that everybody should be flooded with name, fame, happiness, long life etc. When both

(184)

Lagna and Moon are aspected by benefics, when Jupiter occupies Lagna whose dispositor is not afflicted and not void of strength when there is Gajakeshari Yoga, when the Sun is posited in Gemini or in 11th house it is said to provide protection. When Kendras are occupied by benefics, 3rd/6*/] 1th house are occupied by at least two malefics there is no early heart attack for the native. Cancer and Leo are the seats of heart in natural zodiac. Their lords Sun and Moon are the Karaka planets of heart. When Leo, Cancer, 4th and 5th houses from Janma Lagna are afflicted, along with Sun and Moon, one may have heart disease. When Saturn afflicts Leo, Aquarius and Sun, the native dies out of heart attack. When Saturn joins Sun, it causes palpitations and shivering of heart. When Ketu afflicts, the same, it causes pain in the heart. The Sun adversely related to 6/8/12 lords or houses in any manner is always to be aware of heart troubles. One has a enlarged heart when Jupiter is afflicted by Saturn. Mars causes stress, hypertension and ischaemia. Saturn leads to occlusion to coronaries, when Saturn afflicts Jupiter at birth, the blood pressure tends to be low (the author has Jupiter and Satur in his 5th house, and he has a low or normal blood pressure) the ·fixed signs Leo Aquarius, a Taurus Scorpio rule the blood. Watery signs too strongly affect blood: The Sun gives oxygen and Mars gives hemoglobin and iron. The adverse activities of Mars can lead to haemorrhage, rupture, haemorrhoids and excessive menses in women. Sun and Moon in airy signs, especially in Aquarius, tend to regulate normal blood pressure, butsubject to possible disorders of the blood anemia, skin and kidney troubles depending upon their placement and afflictions. When Moon combines with Sun, Mars and Ketu high blood pressures are generated. Strong Mars, indicates high blood pressure. Satum + Jupiter in 6" house, causes high blood pressure. High blood pressure is caused by a weak and afflicted Moon and strong but afflicted Mars. Low blood pressure is caused buy a weak and afflicted Moon and a weak but afflicted Mars.

If the planet Mars is placed in the constellation of Ketu, low blood pressure is caused. High nervous strain and tension are caused by

(185)

afflictions to the Moon and Mercury by Uranus and other malefic planets. Neptune in 316/9h/1.0th and afflicting the Moon, Lagna or Lagna lord causes much stress, Saturn and Mercury in 6h in a common sign causes high stress. Mercury afflicted in the 6 house denotes nervous tension due to over work. If the distance between Sun and Moon is greater than 120°, and Sun is afflicted or debilitated severe heart attack takes place. A report in times of India dated 9-8-2006 P 15 states that Insulin fights heart attack. Dose within 3hrs of stroke improves chances of survival. A team of doctors from the State University of New York has reported the matter in Aug 2006. Green leafy vegetables, orange juice, lentils, enriched cereals are good sources of folate, which can lower heart disease. Small percentage of alcohol in the blood, reduces chances of heart attack. Beer is good for heart patients. Beer's cardiovascular benefits are likely to polyphenols. If Mars is in the constellation of Sun or vice versa, high blood pressure is caused.

Yogas for heart diseases and heart operation: When we consider disease or blood pressure and heart disease in a horoscope, we analyses mainly the 4, 5th and 9th houses. 5th house governs the left ventricle, 9h house governs the left ventricle. The 4 house in a horoscope is also important when we have to consider the possibility myocardial infraction leading to heart attack. So the 4th 5th as well as 9h houses should generally be free from malefics for a healthy life. Mars governs blood. So the afflictions of Sun, Moon, Mars, Cancer, Leo and any relation of any of them with Kanya rasi or 6t lord, give rise to diseases of heart. The following yogas are worth mentioning.

1. Saturn in 4th and Sun conjunct with 6t lord and a malefic. 2. When Saturn aspects Sun, Leo or both there is incipient heart trouble in the native. 3. Moon hemmed between malefics and Saturn in the 7th. 4. Saturn in 4th and Rahu in 12+. 5. * malefic in the 4th house, and its lord conjoined with malefics or hemmed between malefics.

(186)

6. Moon Mars, Saturnand Rahu in the 12th 7. 5th lord in combustion, debilitation or in an inimical house. 8. Moon in Taurns, Cancer, Scorpio or Capricom with a malefic. Example 17 Bye-pass heart surgery at the age of 3 : DOB: 3-4- 1993/ 9=50AM/Manchester. Gemini Lagna 25-3, Mars, LeoMoon 2- 18, Virgo Jupiter(R), Scorpio Rahu, Pluto, Sagittarius Uranus, Neptune; Aquarius, Mercury, Saturn; Pisces Sun, Venus (R), Deha = Aries, Jeeva=Sagittarius. Here we find the seat of heart Leo is Ket aspected by deadly Saturn. 4th house is 4 tenanted by 7h/10th lord retrograde Jupiter. 2 Mon 5 1 Jupiter is suffering from Kendradhipati Mar 3 Dosha (blemishes), 5h lord is retrograde Jup 6 12 Ven Sun but is exalted in Pisces. A retrograde 9 Ura Nep exalted planet, behaves like a debilitated Sat

planet. 4h lord is conjoined with Saturn 8 10 Mer Rah Plu and is squared by Rahu Ketu axis. Ketu is posited in the 4th house from 4* lord, Mars is posited in the 4* from 5th lord. 6h lord in Lagna is aspecting retrograde Jupiter in 4th (a debilitated planet causes some deficiency of the house, wherever it is located). All these unfortunate planetary configuration triggered off the tragedy in the early days of life. Malefic Ketu dasa added fuel into the fire. Operation took place during Ketu- Jupiter dasa. Dasa of two retrograde planets are never welcome. As per KCD, he opened his life with Libra dasa for 14 yrs. Its lord has moved to the 6* house from its natal position and is retrograde, combust. Such an evil planet will only bring tragedy in life. Deha =Aries, Jeeva = Sagittarius. Deha sign is hemmed between malefics and Deha lord has moved to 3rd house from its natal position and hence suffered from placement related blemishes. Both Deha and Jeeva signs are afflicted and hence he suffered. The distance between Sun and Moon > 120°, which is a prerequisite for a major heart disorder, at a young age. As per

(187)

aphorism no (7), he suffered from heart diseases. Example 18 : Bye-pass surgery in the middle ages. DOB: 5-3-65, 4=30 AM, Sitapur, UP, Capricorn Lagna; Aquarins Sun, Mercury, Venus, Saturn; Pisces Moon 8-54; Aries- Jupiter; Tanrus Rahu; Leo Mars (R), Deha=Libra, Jeeva=Virgo

Combust 5t lord, a retrograde or a debilitated planet in Leo promote heart surgery. The distance between Sun and Moon is < 30°, and hence early surgery was not applicable. 7 lord Moon acted as a Maraka for him. The dasa of planets in 2/12 or 6/8 relationships are usually bad. As per KCD, he was born with Savya group B, 3rd quarter. He was born with 27y-7m-2d balance in the 1st circle. Scorpio balance 2y-7m-2d. Scorpio, Tula, Virgo passed away smoothly. 2nd cycle of Tula dasa bronght disaster from him .. The Punargamangatis are never good for freedom from diseases. Tula lord Venns is a combnst planet. Moreover his Deha lord Venus, and Jeeva lord Mercury have conjoined together. Union of Deha and Jeeva lords invite calamities in life. Example 19.

He was born with Savya Group A. 20d qtr. 1" cycle=80yr 9m3d. He was pulled down during Kanya dasa, whose lord Mercury is placed in Deha sign. Such a dasa yields wrath from heaven.

lords of operation. During Dhanu dasa in KCD, the operation took place. Its lord is placed with 6* lord Mars and Ketu inviting surgery. His eldest son is a MD doctor of AIMS, Delhi.

rheumatic heart since birth. Leo was 3 5 Ket Ura Mon Sat Ven hemmed between malefics, Cancer is also Mar

(190)

f hemmed between malefics. So 4th and 5th houses of the zodiac were i afflicted and weak. Rheumatic diseases are of various types, such as : arthritis, rheumatic heart, gout, reheumatic fevers etc. When Windy planets Moon, Mercury Venus and Saturn are weak, combusted, afflicted, badly situated, conjoined with lord of dusthana and are also someway related with sixth house, they give rise to rheumatic diseases. Her Moon is placed in the 6th house with badhaka lord Mars and Uranus. Mercury is afflicted by 8* lord Sun and Pluto; Venus is placed in the 8th house with Saturn and is. hemmed between malefics. Weak Mercury Moon, Venus generated rheumatic fevers for her through afflicted heart. Though doctors advised her parents not to arrange her marriage, her father and brothers arranged her marriage in 1970. She got a son in 1971 and her son is a well established chartered accountant in Kolkata, who is free from diseases. From 1980 onwards, she lost her health rapidly and was reduced to a skeleton. On 20.10.1983 at 4:45 AM she breathed her last. By adding Lagna, Sun, Moon, Jupiter we get her death point on 0'12°9'. Saturn was transiting Libra at the time of sad demise (the formula developed by the author in 1989). She died during Mercury-Mercury dasa.

During Mars Rahu he suffered for stomach. pain in Aug 2006, Moon has become much weaker for the placement retrograde Saturn in the 8th house of Moon. Why is he hale and hearty? Emperor Aurangzeb was born 3-11-1618 and died on 20.2.1707. Indians used to die within 40 yrs in his days. He had also spoiled Sun, spoiled Moon, afflicted Cancer Rasi, afflicted Leo. Gaj a Keshari yoga, Parijata Yoga and other class 1 yogas made him a legendary figure (Advanced predictive Astrology Vo, 2 P 127 by Dr. S. S, Chatterjee). When there are so many powerful yogas, heart failure does not take place at an early age. The native of this example is also born with Gaj a Keshri yoga and Parijata yoga, Lord of Lagna is placed in the 12', whose dispositor is in the 104, whose dispositor is also in the 10, forming this unique Parijata yoga. The above gentleman reached Calcutta at the age of 14 and is now a prominent businessman of iron. He has low blood pressure 120/80, throughout his life. He established his BP level using a class one ruby. Low BP persons have lower risk of heart attack. His Mars is placed in the 12th house in the birth chart and in the 8th house in Navamsa. Weak Moon, weak Mars generated low bipod pressure and saved him from any severe heart attack at an early life.

OBESITY

A billion people out of the world's 6.5 billion population in 2007 are now considered overweight, compared with 800 million who do not have enough to eat (TOI, Oct 21 P 331). Being overweight is perhaps the biggest health problem among middle income groups allover the world. On an average over 60% of the adults in the developed countries are overweight. Of these, more than 20% are considered obese and are consequently at increased risk of an early death. Parents should remember that their child will lose intelligence level, which is directly linked with obesity. All brainy children are lean and thin. Few people are truly "fat and happy". Obesity can have divesting effect on health, obesity is strongly linked with depression and other mood disorder. Research says, fat people are not more jolly. Obese people have an

(192)

increased risk of coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, stroke, diabetes and certain types of cancer. Other health consequences include damage to the weight bearing joints. This leads to osteoarthritis and disability, which perpetuate to vicious circle by restricting movement, i leading to further weight gain. There is a close relationship between the amount of food eaten, specially starchy, sugary, fatty food and obesity. Surprisingly, even a small amount of excess food can make one put on weight. Movement and exercise take off weight. If the calories coming in by way of food are in excess of the calories going out by way of movement and exercise, the calories get stored in our body as fat; and obesity begains. Even a little excess mounts up and in the course of time ! the result is substantial overweight. Hormones and heredity factors play the vital role. An elephant's body cannot be like a calf. A person who was obese as a child may always store fat more readily than a person who started life thin. Obesity is also a matter of one's luck and metabolism. Some people eat and drink enormous quantities of calories and yet never put on weight. Their bodies seem to burn up these calories. Yet, there are other people, unfortunately the majority, who, even if they eat a little excess food, have in increase in weight. In a hotel, an expensive bill containing many items can be a most dangerous perquisite after 40. An iron will is necessary not to over drink or overeat. Because metabolism slows with age, some put on weight as they approach middle age. Older people also may be less active; in either case, calorie needs decline with age and a person's food intake ·should be scaled back accordingly. Jogging, swimming, bicycle running helps. Eat fresh vegetables and fruits. Avoid oily foods, alcohol and potato chips. Convert your height into cm and subtract 100, for knowing the maximum weight, that your body will allow to carry. Suppose a man is 200 cm tall, he can be as high as 100 kg. Average Indians have 170-180 cm height. So a body weight beyond 80 kg is -risky affair. Any person who is above 50.yrs. should take 1-2 chaptis/day, some curd, vegetable and fresh fruits, should never eat too much at a time. Slim people enjoy life in much better way compared to

(193)

a overweight person. Drink 4-5 liters of water for removing the waste material of the body through urine. Young girls will hate a obsessed man. Obesity is a curse not boon. Woman who gain 20 kg or more after the age of 18 are twice as likely to develop breast cancer after menopause than those who remain the same weight. Astrological Factors of Obesity: Everything in life depends on the strength of the horoscope, 9th lord/9th house, Jupiter and Sun. Dasa sequences as advocated by sage Parasar are stunningly accurate. When 91h house is weak, everything evaporates in air. We know that obsessed persons are not jolly persons. So there is something with the luck factor. Aspect of Jupiter or Rahu in Lagna makes somebody obsessed. When Lagna or its lord are influenced by watery planets Venus, Moon, one gains weight easily. It should be rernembered that all extra weight persons have either afflicted 9th house or afflicted 9th lord, because they are unlucky persons. Either luminary in Cancer tends the mind to crave for eating, which may cause over eating and possibly obesity .. The Moon afflicted in Cancer or Scorpio indicates impure kind of obesity in females. Jupiter in 6th can make one obese due to overeating. Many planets in watery signs and involved in 'affliction may also cause obesity. Venus sometimes leads to obesity due to bad habits, sedentary habits and gastronomical indiscretions. Most parents love a fat chubby baby, with the result that they grossly overfeed their children. The eating habits formed in childhood continue for the rest of one's life. The author warns the parents, not to overfeed their babies, which will reduce the IQ level. A fat boy or a girl can never stand first in any examination. Most brainy and intelligent boys and girls come from the middleclass families of India. Afflicted Venus Moon, Jupiter and Rahu dasa antardasa produce a serious disease named obesity. We shall now discuss a fewcase histories with details of their achievements in life.

Example 24. Dull life of a fat man : DOB 19-8-1964/12=30 PM./Gwalior Birth Chart : Scorpio Lagna; Sagittarius Ketu, Moon;

His Adhi Yoga, ;both from Lagna and Moon confirms his high status in life. Adhi Yogas provides wealth, without much difficulty. His Lagna lord is conjoined [with Venus, and Rahu. So aspect of Jupiter in Lagna conjunction of Venus (a watery planet) and Rahu with Lagna lord Mars contributed to .the haphazard growth. His 9h house is hemmed between malefics, and 19th lord is conjoined with Ketu. Retrograde Saturn in the 4th house added fuel to the fire. Affliction of 8 lord with Satum & Ketu, added his 'sufferings. He is really very unlucky person, because of strained *relationship with wife. Afflicted watery planet Venus dasa in his infant [days brought his sufferings in the form of the obesity .. He is a calm and [quiet person, and accepted everything in real life with very cool brain. His younger brother is a very dynamic man with excellent health and [happy married life.

Example 25. Fat son of a marine engineer in Mumbai : DOB : 26-8-1989/19=21 hrs/Calcutta. Pisces Lagna; Gemini Moon, Jupiter; Leo Ketu, Sun Mars; Virgo, Venus, Mercury; Sagittarius [Saturn (R); Aquarius Rahu [His lord of Lagna is conjoined with a watery planet Moon and aspected

(195)

by Rahu, So Rahu and Moon contributed .. Rah for his overweight. Venus (a watery II 1 planet) is also aspecting the Lagna. The 2 10

author visited the above family in Dec. 12

2003 in Mumbai and saw the boy with his Mon Jup 3 Ura 6 Sal

trapped him as soon as Jupiter dasa was switched on during I is infant days. Jupiter and Rahu are the significators of obesity. He is very poor in his studies and is no way in comparison to his illustrious father.

Example 26. Obesity turned the life to hell : DOB 6-9-1983, 4=55 AM/Gwalior. Birth Chart : Leo - Lagna, Venus (R), Sun, Moon 3- 5; Virgo Mercury (R), Libra Saturn; Scorpio Jupiter, Ketu; Taurus Rahu; Cancer Mars,

85 kg. All the planets in the dasa antardasa are placed in kendras and hence increased her weight. Rahu and Jupiter are the main significators of obesity. Retrograde Venus just delivered the worst results for her.' Some how she managed BA Eng (H) degree but has lost charm in life. She cannot sleep, for the presence of debilitated Mars, in the 12th house of Sun. she has cynus problem which blocks her noses all the time. There was also an operation on the nose, which yielded futile results for her. She is

(196)

suffering from anaemia, loss of appetite, can't digest anything, and getting pain all the body. She is using specks from the age of 15 yrs. Dasa of retrograde Venus in the star of Ketu proved very costly for her. Watch her 9h house/9th lord are spoiled by Saturn from the 3rd house. So without luck it is not possible to do well on this planet earth. Everything evaporates in air, when 9th house/9th lord are weak and afflicted in the horoscope. Example 27. Ruined education for obesity : DOB 14-5-1981 / 5=34PM/Delhi Libra Lagna; Capricorn Ketu; Aries Mars; Taurus Venus, Mercury, Sun, Cancer Rahu; Virgo Saturn (R) Jup., Moon 10-45.

enjoy good health. From the standard VI 7 Ket 10 he started gaining weight during Mars- 4 Rah 1 Rahu dasa. In 2006 he is 92 kg. He is only Mar

5'6" so looks a very fat man. His Sun is 11 3 12 2 <1°, and is placedin the 8th house. He is not Mer Sun Ven doing well in life. His handicraft (export) business not giving him sufficient money. His 9th house is hemmed between malefics. His Rahu in 10th, aspect of Jupiter on Lagnesh provided extra fat in the body. When Sun is in zero degree such natives always struggles in life. Six planets occupy 8t/12t houses. Such native goes down in the general scheme of life. He did not finish his studies in Russia and returned without any valid degree. DRUG ADDICTS Opium, cannabis and coca have been used by humans for millennia. South American, Indian chew coca like we eat paan. Coca was originally the zing in Cocacola, and it gave the pep to Pepsi. A tea brewed of coca leaves is a healthy stimulant. In May 2006, Promod

(197)

Mahajan a senior most party leader of BJP, ahd ex-central minister, radvisor to Ex-Prime Minister, Atal Behari Bajpai was killed with gunfire in point blank range by his younger brother in Mumbai. Within one month his private secretary Vivek Moitra died consuming heroin and his son Rahul Mahajan, returned from death. He was arrested from Apollo Hospital for the drug abuse but the court granted freedom observing his tender age and a nice family background. Over recent years, the habit of consuming drugs are increasing in the upper middle class family throughout the globe. Why Rahul Mahajan consumed heroin is a matter of controversy. Some people like to be very famous through scandals. One man's misfortune is another man's juicy gossip. In today's rumour hungry times, scandal management is a skill everyone should cultivate. Scandal management may stain relations but the stain is not indelible. Remember how Late Princess Diana chose to keep quiet whenever she was faced with a scandal. She clearly recognized the voracious appetite that the most competitive media in the world had for gossip and scandal, she kept tight lipped about her nine lovers. In fact, her supposed paramour, Dodi Fayed, had problems with drugs, money and prostitutes. But she remained mum. What needs to be examined here whether scandal scar celebrities forever. As media personality Mark Tully says, 'Scandals may strain reputation, but the stain is not indelible. Before long, the accused are back in public life, their kurta pyjamas whiter than white. Which is probably what will happen with Rahul Mahajan provided he makes the right moves. In Britain alone, it is estimated Vz million people are addicted to amphetamine, barbiturates, cannabis and other drugs. It is estimated that several millions of people in Britain, USA, African countries, in Asia have one time or another committed legal offences by using cannabis and other such drugs, Cannabis, marijuana, hashish are all parts of the same plant, secretly grown in Afghanistan (80% total production), India and Pakistan. These drugs are sometimes called 'pot'. Hashish or charas is very popular in Indian lower class people. Some sadhus use charas for meditation purposes. The force of the intoxicant magnifies the force of his concentration, since the mind is a

(198)

chemical phenomenon. As the concentration is strengthened, the image of the deity of which is being continually formed, in the subtle body is made firmer and clear and this brings success at worship. Hashish is the pollen and resin of the cannabis plant. Charas is prepared by taking the fresh fleece from a slaughtering sheep, staffing it full of this resin, and burying it in the ground for a month. The fat from the sheep and the lanolin from the fleece mix with the resin and liquefy it, and the liquid drips into a little pot. After a month the pot is removed and there you have the charas. One of the big disadvantage of intoxicants is their side effects. Smoke chillum after chillum of marijuana or hashish and you are bound to develop a terrible cough and probably chronic bronchitis. One's liver will be damaged completely after drinking whisky daily. The effect of smoking cannabis comes within thirty minutes. If cannabis eaten, it takes at least three hours to get the full effect. Taking cannabis often give rise to a wonderful euphoric feeling and increases the person's response to external stimuli, colours and sounds. Social intercourse becomes much more intense and meaningful for such people. Cannabis makes one psychologically dependent. It may lead to a loss of interest in any purposeful occupation and also cause a general decline in initiative and· efficiency. Drugs such as Benzedrine and Dexedrine, stimulates mental activity, reduce fatigue and depression prevent sleep and reduce the appetite for food. In 2006, a new drug, Ecstasy has entered the market. An addiction of 'hard' drugs such as heroin, has a disruptive effect on the psychological and physical development of drug users. Heroin is the most dangerous and a young heroin drug addict can die within three years. LSD is also a dangerous drug; 'bad trips' may mean a frightening, unpleasant hallucinatory experience lasting for several hours. Abnormal mental reactions may recur for hours, days or even weeks after exposure to this drug. For example, one may want to jump from a high window in the mistaken belief that one can fly. Drug abuse and addiction is a widespread social problem. Millions of people battle addictions to nicotine, alcohols and illicit drugs. Becoming addicted is not the intention of recreational drug use, but addition can occur when drug use becomes frequent.

l (199)

Eventually it can become a habit, which is not only costly but also destructive. -The sadhus of India take tobacco, hashish to sharpen the mind. The author has found the natives who are very good in mathematics are usually smokers. Tobacco plant has hundreds of uses in Ayurveda. But today it is misused .. Small dosage of alcohol does not permit heart attack. So casual use of tobacco and alcohol is not harmful. In an ordinary person the consumption of alcohol will lead to an enkindling of the Jathara Agni. Ayurveda recognized this and prescribes medicinal wines when there is a need to increase the appetite and promote digestion. Alcohol should sharpen mind, so much that a problem, which might take hours to think out in the normal state can be done instantaneously. Overdoses of every drug is very dangerous which generate many diseases and deaths are accelerated.

Detoxification Procedures: We consume poison though drinking water, foods and through polluted air. Water is laced with chemicals foreign to our physiologists, so we should clean our body, regularly. One needs detoxification when: 1. Unexplained headaches or a back pain. 2. Joint pain or arthritis. 3. Falling memory. 4. Depression or diminishing energy. 5. Brittle nails and hair. 6. Abnormal body odour, coated tongue, bad breath. 7. Unexplained weight gain. 8. Frequent allergies. 9. A history of heavy alcohol use. 10 A history of natural or synthetic steroid hormone use. 11. An exposure to cleaning solvents, pesticides, diuretics and certain drugs. For a toxin free body, all one has to do is to eat a lot of fiber foods, drinks, lots of water (4/5 liters). Fruits, salads and green vegetables will clean the bowel. Scrubbing one's body from the ankle upwards help in lymphatic drainage, rubbing the nape of the neck with a towel improves blood circulation, and gently scrabbling the spine stimulates all organs. It is urgently needed to take shower daily and shake the skin clean using good toilet soap. Clean habits make anybody healthy. Toxins accelerate aging process. Body detoxification refers to the cleaning of bowels, kidneys, lungs, liver, blood organs involved in the expulsion of wastes

(200)

and chemicals. Drinking excess water will detoxify kidneys. Take carrot juice mixed with lime and a few drops of olive oil for cleaning the liver. It will clear all the junks stored in the body. Take this mixed juice for 7 days every month. Fasting once in a week is a good process in the detoxification of the poisonous materials stored in the body. Plato and Aristatole fasted regularly to enhance physical health and stimulate students for the mental powers. Pythagoras required for 40 days to purify body and mind through fasting before receiving his students.

Galen, Paracalsus and Hipocrates recognized as the founding fathers of Westem Medicine prescribed fasting for all serious ailment. If we observe nature, we find dogs, cows and buffaloes refuse food, when they are ill. Dogs eat Durba grass and vomit. In this process they are cured. Frail, pregnant, heart patients, diabetic patients shall not observe fasting. They should eat very very less food for survival only. One should think before eating huge quantity of food, "when 250 gm of food material twice a day, can keep anybody healthy what is the use of consuming 5-20 kg of food daily and burdening the stomach? Only one lemon juice/day can keep anybody fresh beyond 65 yrs or so without consumption of much food. Gravy, French fries are responsible for cardiovascular disease and cancer. After 35, one should only eat boiled or baked potatoes. Oily foods are dangerous for health. Try to eat Indian chapati, salad, boiled green vegetables, yogurt and some seasonal fruits to live for at least 80 yrs without any disease. Avoid oil + ghee as much possible for eliminating heart diseases.

Planets and drug addicts:

Moon is the significatorof eating. If the lord of 2nd house is located with Saturn, Mars, Gulika, Rahu or Ketu, is in inimical navamsa and devoid of benefic aspect the native takes forbidden food. Basically, 2nd house and 2nd lord should always be associated with Jupiter, Venus, Mercury and the Moon. In case, it is associated with Mars, Saturn, Rahu or Ketu one's life will always be in turmoil. Such a person will be a compulsive liar and will not enjoy good social status. One will not be considered a

(201)

pious and good person but would be always regarded as a cunning person and people would always be on guard. The natives may insincerely express desires yet others may not believe them due to which a communication gap will be there. The author has traveled entire earth and has observed, semi liter.ate persons develop the habit of intoxication. Our education is controlled from the 2nd house, so naturally benefic planets in the 2.d house and combination of benefic planets with 2nd lord will produce highly qualified persons. The author worked with Prof. K.E. Heusler in West Germany, Prof. Kurt Schwabe in East Germany, Prof Howard Pickering in USA. All these three great professors are non-smokers and non-alcoholic. Prof. Heusler even hates cold drinks. The author has never found, more pious, more learned person on earth than them. It is probable the frustrations and inferior brain power makes drug addicts and alcoholic persons. Affliction of Saturn or twelfth from Saturn makes very repulsive habit of living, bad eating habits eating stale food, cold meat etc. So it is to be anticipated that all the drug addicts are sub-standard persons of the society. If somebody's child is not meritorious parents should watch him in such a way that the poor child does not become a drug addict. Everybody knows that Rahul Mahajan is not a good student. He failed miserably, in all the areas he had tried so far. He became a pilot, but was not allowed to drive the plane. He was forced to watch only. We feel sorry for Vivek Moitra. This poor chap, in order to please his new master Rahul Mahajan took heroin and lost his life. Think about agony of his aged parents who lost their only son through a tragic accident. In a sensational news in Times of India dated 21-6-2006 P 13, they are teenage girls of Indian origin, bom and brought up in Canada are increasingly turning to a life of crime, peddling drugs for easy money and to the able to boast of toughie boy friends on their arms. South Asian gangs are very serious in all of Canada. Besides British Columbia, these gangs are also a huge headache for police of Ontario province, which has also a dense population of Punjabis. According to J.N. Bhasin in Sarvarth Chintamoni P 99, Planets Saturn, Ketu and

(202)

Rahu stand for poison. So when 2nd lord, Moon are heavily afflicted, and a planet out of Rahu, Ketu Saturn occupy the 2nd house the native may take all forbidden drugs. Such natives also try to commit suicide by consuming poison. Ketu in 2nd invariably makes drug addicts. Mars is also a poisonous planet in the 20d house, when it is aspected by an another malefic. Actually smoking and chewing are closely connected with Neptune. Neptune afflicted in Leo tends to suspension of the heart action though drugs, smoking opium and narcotics. Neptune in 204, 5th, 6*, 11 has the same effect. Afflicted Neptune in 6th, tends to make great smokers. This aphorism true to the knowledge of the author. Afflictions of watery signs by Mars or Saturn or both and afflictions to the luminaries the Ascendant and a malefic planet in 5th may lead to drunkenness. Venus afflicted in Aquarius indicate impure blood. Venus rules venous blood (white blood). We shall examine the chart of three drug addict cases

Example 28 : DOB 20-9-63, 11=15 AM, Gorakhpur. Scorpio Lagna, Sagittarius Ketu, Capricorn Saturn; Pisces Jupiter; Gemini Rahu; Virgo Sun, Moon, Mercury, Venus, Libra Mars.

He is the son an IFS officer. Ketu is posited in the 2"d house, 2nd lord is aspected by Ket Nep Mar 7 Saturn and is squared by Rahu-Ketu axis. 9 Mer Mon Moon is in 30° and is also squared by Sat 10 6 Ven 8 Rahu-Ketu axis. He became drug addict at Plu Sun 11 5 a very young age probably at the age of 2 Ura

17/18 yrs. as per the statement of his mother. He married a Nigerian girl at the Jup 12 4 3 Rah age of 20, from there he fled to Russia and married Olga (13.12.1975, 3=30AM, Moscow). Sex and drug is his passion. Poor Olga digested this unhealthy guy for few years. She had 2 abortions, and finally they separated in 1996. This guy is a sex-maniac, alcoholic, drug addict and is a problematic child of his parents. When Sun and Moon joins Venus

(203)

one's married life gets ruined. Sun and Moon add cold water on the married life. Example 29. Young age paralysis for drug addiction : DOB2-9-1972, 8=48AM, Kangra, HP. Virgo Lagna, Sagittarius Jupiter, Capricorn Rahu, Taurus Saturn, Gemini, Moon; Cancer Ketu, Venus, Leo Mercury, Sun, Mars. He was very brilliant in his school/college .. days and became an electronics engineer Mar Sun Mer from REC, Silchar, Assam and married his 5 7 class friend in Dec. 1998 during Jupiter Nep 8 Ven Ura Plu 4 Ket Venus dasa. Soon after his marriage he started taking various drugs from his Jup 9 3 Mon 12 inferior office friends, some of them worked as peons. His 2nd lord Venus is Rah 10 2 Sat

conjoined with highly poisonous planet I1

Ketu and is further aspected by 6* lord Saturn. Moon is hemmed between malefics. Heavily afflicted sublord Venus added his suffering in life. He became paralytic in the left side and grew lunatic. He had to resign his job in 2000. His talented electrical engineer wife sacrificed for him. She is staying at home nursing her husband. She is earning her bread though tuition. In 2006 Aug, he has recovered from paralysis, but has lost memory. He is earning Rs. 5000 per month in a private company. When 8th house of Jupiter is occupied by retrograde planets, one fails to earn much money in life. Ketu in the 8th house of Jupiter, decreased his wisdom, earning power recovery power. Saturn in the 9h house, affliction of 9h lord with Ketu heavy affliction of 3rd house by Saturn and Mars did not allow him to prosper in his career. It is a case where we find Jupiter suffering from Kendra adhipati Dosha, showered cold water on his career. When 9th house and its lord are not favoruable, the native becomes a bundle of failures in life Being an educated person he consumed drugs. So God punished him severely for his misdeeds. One should never cross the

(204)

limit. N.T. Rama Rao died during Venus-Jupiter dasa, Jupiter-Venus, Venus Jupiter dasa are bad for 99%persons of this earth for career. This dasa ruins one's career. Example 30: DOB 28-11 -1942 at 7.02 AM Bankura, WB. Scorpio - Lagna. Mercury, Venus; Aquarius Ketu, Taurus Saturn(R), Uranus, Cancer Pluto, Jupiter (R) Moon 8-50. This is the story of an unfortunate soul of Bengal. He lost his father at the age of 2, Mar 7 his elder brother reared him up with other 9 10 6 Nep co-borns. He was very intelligent, but Sun Mer Ven developed taste for tobacco from the age Kel 11 5 Rah 14/15 yrs. His 2nd lord Jupiter is a 2 Sat Ura retrograde planet and is aspected by Plu .. 4 Jup Saturn. Moon is also afflicted by same 12 3 Mon

Satum. 12* house of Satum and Saturn himself is afflicted by Mars from Libra Rahu is aspecting his 2nd house. So he smokes heavily from 17/18 yrs. of age. He opened his life with retrograde Saturn for 11 yrs 1m 17 d it is well known that dasa of 8th lord from (Chandra Lagna) cuts the apple. cart of the native. Dasa of 8t lord did not allow him to grow well in life. He joined Bengal paper mill, Raniganj, at the age of 18, and became a clerk of the same company after passing B A at the age of 22yrs. but lost his job in 1983 when this paper mill closed its door forever. About 1 lakh persons were uprooted. His talented wife is maintaining the family. He married in 1977 and got a son in 1978. 7hhouse is opposed the 1" house. So any malefic planet in the 7h house may give too much troubles, hardships, oppositions and rivalries and this will take away his valuable time and energy to fight them out. His success may be delayed too much and his career may be ruined due to too much opposition and enemies. Malefics in Kendra produce Sarpayoga an inauspicious yoga, which ruins the native's health. Yes, he is a leani and thin man. Malefics in 7th will force the native to become sickly and this

(205)

will be the chief source of trouble. Satum in 7th does not allow the native for the fuller utilization of his inherent talents. One who has either Mars or Saturn in the 7th house it is to be understood that he has done some bad deeds in his previous life. Saturn is more deadly. The author has observed, when Satumn occupies the 7th house in Navamsa even in its own sign, married life becomes very dull; When Satum occupies the 7th house, such a native may engage himself in too much of disputes, enmity, rivalries and oppositions in early life. (Astrology Nectar by Dr. S.S. Chatterjee) If Rahu /Saturn/ Ketu or Mars occupy the 2"d house but the 2ad lord is influenced by yoga karakas or benefics (natural), the native does not develop taste for drugs/alcohol. Our opposition in life is governed by 2nd/4th/6th/7t/8t/12. If two or 3 planets are located in these sensitive houses the native may develop of taste for drugs. Uranus and Neptune in sixth house are too dangerous, Neptune forces the native to consume hard drugs when placed in the 6* house. Uranus in 6h produces nervous disorder, sickness, puzzling medical attendant. Strange and 'incurable diseases, mental rearrangement, physic experience, insanity, treatment by radium for cancer etc. Betty Ford (Star Teller April 2006,P 429, Leo Lagna, Mars; Sagittarius, Rahu; Aquarius Venus, Moon, Pisces Sun; Aries Mercury; Taurus Jupiter, Gemini Ketu; Cancer, Saturn ®), ex first lady of USA (wife of Gerald Ford) consumed drugs in her young age for the affliction of 2nd lord Mercury by Rahu and Saturn, her 2nd house was squared by Rahu Ketu axis. 2nd house was aspected by Saturn and Sun.

How Cocaine hijacks our brain functions : The chemical responsible for loving Cocaine has now been identified (TOI, June 2006, P 29). Snorting or. smoking Cocaine triggers the production of dopamine in the brain's pleasure center, causing a feeling of reward that gives addicts a high and hooks. Dopamine triggers comings by bonding to receptors in a brain region associated with motivation. Under the influence of this drug, the patient will like to fly like a bird and may jump out of the window. So too much of Cocaine

(206)

addiction may bring untimely death. The greatest football player of all centuries Maradona of Argentina became a Cocaine addict from 2002 onwards. In 2004 he was not allowed to play world cup for the identification of drugs in his urine sample. Cocaine is a South American Drug. Heroin is originated in India, Nepal, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Because of drug laws, poor people consume cheaper adultered concoctions, like crack and smack, and these are extremely harmful. Getting pure drugs is impossible today, for only brands can ensure purity. With brands we can better promote public health. Basically all the strong drugs adversely affect mental and physical health will continue to prey on the curiosity of the young. The US sponsored and UN supported war on drug is unwinnable. It is the hubris of those armed with state power that keeps it continuing. The Rahul Mahajan, Vivek Moitra case occurred in a Lutyens designed ministerial bungalow, the citadel of State power. If drugs are used in such a posh area, what hope is there that a dysfunctional police force like ours will ever succeed in eradicating these vices.

Alcohol deadlier for teenage brains:

According to TOI, July 6, 2006, 47% of those who begin drinking alcohol before the age of 14 become alcohol dependent at some times in their lives. Pregnant woman and teenagers should not drink alcohol. Today public health experts regularly warn that teenage drinkers run greatly increased risks of involvement in car accidents, fights and messy scenes in their hostels. Mounting research suggests that alcohol causes more damage to the developing brain of teenagers that was previously thought injuring them significantly more than it does adult brains.

List of all drugs upto 2007 : Cocaine Katamine Gammahydroxybutyrate (GHB or Grievous bodily harm) Solvents (tolune, glue, paints). LSD MDMA ( Ecstasy, Stacy, Adam, Eve) Crystal methamphetamine (Ice) Prescription drugs (sleeping pills, pain killers) Marijuana (pot, weed, grass, boom)

Crystal Methylamine. Crack (cruder cocaine mixed with baking soda/ammonia and water)

Young and restless persons are the victim of drugs. Awareness campaigns in schools and colleges curbing easy availability and law enforcement are the three prongs of a stragedy to combat drugs. Despite much publicized death drugs and arrests, Delhi's youth continues its dangerous experiments with drugs. Some men use it as a bait to hook woman, others know that it would give the girl high and would hopefully lead to great sex. Some believe that ecstasy and cocaine enhance sexual pleasures, In fact, that is the reason why some couples do drugs together, little knowing that certain drugs have been proven to cause sexual disorders, including erectable dysfunction. Let all the parents persuade their children not to touch drugs which ultimately ruin one's future and health. Alcoholism, as the addition is called pernicious. It gradually and effectively weakness the nervous system in the body. A time comes when the patient is no longer in control of his muscles as the motor never carrying to brains message to the muscles fail to function.

CANCER AND ITS REMEDIAL MEASURES

In the body millions of new cells are formed everyday and they replace the old worn out cells. This process is carried out by the spleen and it is cleared and controlled by the lymph glands. When we neglect our body, the process of regeneration of new cells slows down while the process of decaying destroying of cells increases, more toxins gathers in the body, the spleen and lymph glands are overburdened. Slowly but steadily, there is a malignant growth in the body, but it is not easily noticed. In the meanwhile, the toxins/wastes are gathering in the body in the part which is most damaged. Only when these toxins are gathered in a large quantity, it forms a duct and start developing fast. In the meantime, the weak lymph gland is greatly damaged and through it throat glands are damaged. And a stage is reached when these glands become toxins and instead of secreting the most vital hormones in the

(208)

body start secreting toxins in the body. At that time this malignant growth becomes fast and the final signal is given by nature. Cancers are of two types benign (for slow attack, Jupiter is the significator of benign. Systematic growth is governed by Jupiter) and malignant (or rapid attack controlled by Rahu. Rahu represents haphazard growth). If a cancerous tumour of malignant type (Cancer is actually a special form of tumour) is removed before the cancer cells travel to other part of the body, the danger of cancer is removed. Benign tomours represent the accumulation of cells which have been transformed to reproduce in abnormal numbers but under circumstances where they remain within the tissue of origin. Cancer in males generally appear in the lungs, digestive system, mouth, larynx, colon and in the prostrate gland. In the females, the cervix ranks first followed by breast, food pipe, ovaries and stomach. There is some evidence that the Cancer of the cervix in women and of the prostrate in men are found more often in those who started sexual activity at a much younger age and those who changed partners frequently.

Warning signal of cancer:

a) Loss of weight. b) Asudden change inthesizeofcolourofawartor mole. c) A lump or thickening in the breast. d) Unusual bleeding or discharge. e) Hoarseness of voice or persistent cough which does not respond to medicines. f) Indigestion or difficulty. in swallowing. g) A change in bowel habits or alternating constipation and diarrhea. h) A sore or ulcer that does not readily heal. i) Constant fever.

Astrological Aphorisms of Cancer:

Cancer is generated in the body when 1"/6/8th lords makes any relationship with Mars, Rahu and Saturn. The role of various planets in producing cancer in the body are as follows :-

Sun Head (brain), bone, stomach, eyes

Moon , Blood, breast, lungs, heart

Mars Blood, sex organs, uterus, waist, muscles

(209)

Mercury Mouth, naval region Jupiter Liver, tongue, spleen, thigh Venus . Sex organs, prostrate glands, kidney, throat Saturn teeth, legs, hands.

1. When the sixth lord is a malefic and is posited in 1/8/10 houses, this disease is caused.

2. Conjunction of Jupiter, Ketu. and Venus is any sign may cause Cancer.

3. When Saturn and Mar,s are posited (either by contact or aspect) opposite of Jupiter or Rahu, Cancer may occur. 4. If Moon is afflicted by three malefics and the lord of Lagna is weak, cancer is sure to attack.

4. According to Virgu Samhita, when either 6th or 8th lord is posited in Lagna and is afflicted, one may have tumour. Cancer is actually a special form of tumour.

5. when Sun, Moon and Lagna are afflicted, one may have Cancer.

6. Mars in the 6t house identical with a fixed sign will cause cancer.

7. When Saturn, Rahu and Mars are posited in any sign, the native may have cancer. These planets should not be yogakaraka for the ascendant lord.

8. When Cancer, Scorpion and Pisces are afflicted (or 4,8,12 house) blood cancer occurs. Moon should also be afflicted. 10. When all the benefics are weak, Rahu and Mars are posited in any sign, cancer may occur.

Cure of Cancer:

At present, the four effective methods for treating cancer are : (a) surgery (b) radium therapy (c) cobalt therapy (d) chemicals. There are thousands of cases that have been completely cured by these methods. Early detection of cancer disease may save the life of the

(210)

patient. A variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, high fiber legumes, and whole grain breads are not only high in vitamins and minerals but may also protect against cancer. Folate (found in liver, broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables) is known to reduce proliferation of cancer cells. Alcohol is not permitted.

Example 31 : DOB: 13-1-1923, 5:53PM, Delhi. Cancer Lagna; Leo Rahu, Virgo Saturn, Libra Jupiter, Sagittarius Sun; Capricorn Mercury, Aquarius Ketu; Pisces - Mars. This is the birth chart of a very rich man of Rah Plu Noida who started his career from a 3

scratch. He earned maximum amount of 5 Sat 6 2 Nep money in Mars Mahadasa and his wife 4 also inherited huge money from her Jup 7 1 maternal uncle, He had a very robust 10 Mer health upto June 1993. He died of throat Ven 8 12 Mar cancer on 17.10.1993 at 10:25 PM (earlier Mon 9 Sun Ura Ket 1 already had forecast his cancer and the possible date of demise) while he was passing Rahu-Rahu dasa. Third house of Janma Lagna is heavily afflicted by Saturn, Rahu and Mars which fall in Virgo, a quite sensitive house.The other very sensitive house Pisces is occupied by Mars and Ketu, which is his 9th house from Janma Lagna. A native rises very high " in life if he has Mars Ketu in favourable positions but they die in mysterious circumstances. Observing Mars Ketu in Pisces and Severe ... affliction of Virgo Pisces rasis I passed a forecast in early 1993 that he would die ofcancer in 1993 which stunningly came true. Third house of zodiac is heavily afflicted by Pluto, Mars and Saturn and ; Rahu. 3"d house of Chandra Lagna is afflicted by 8 house mercury from this Lagna. So according to the principles of Sudarsan Analysis he, developed Cancer in throat (governed by third house). Other yogas for cancer may be summarized as below:

(a) When Saturn & Mars are posited (either by contact or by

(211)

aspect) opposite to Jupiter or Rahu, Cancer is sure to occur. He had Saturn and Rahu in Virgo opposed to Mars and Ketu , in Pisces. So he developed cancer.

(b) 8th lord Saturn is heavily afflicted by Mars and Rahu. So he suffered from cancer disease.

(c) Lord of Lagna Moon is heavily afflicted by Saturn which is carrying the influence of Mars and Rahu. (d) Afflicted Mercury produces cancer in the body (Jyotisha Siddanta, P 650, Oct 1991). Both the houses of Mercury (Virgo and Gemini) are heavily afflicted by malefics.

(e) . 6th lord Jupiter is in the house of Venus which is debilitated in Navamsa and is afflicted by Sun and Ketu. Venus is known to produce cancer in throat.

Example 32 : DOB 13-12-1975, 7=35 PM, Calcutta, Cancer Lagna, Saturn(R) Libra Venus, Rahu; Scorpio Sun; Sagittarius Mercury; Pisces Jupiter, Moon; Aries Ketu; Gemini Mars(R)

The native's 3 rd house is occupied by a Mar dangerous malefic Pluto, which is 5 3 afflicted by Mars, Saturn, Rahu (by weak Plu 6 2 Sat t 2nd aspect) and 6h lord Jupiter. 3rd lord Mercury is posited in the 6t house (house Ven Rah 7 4 Ura 1 Ket 10 of disease) and is afflicted by Mars. Nep Jup 12 The 3 rd house of both Chandra Lagna and 8 Sun 9 11 Mon

Surya lagna are afflicted. According to Met

Harihar Mazumdar, a famous Bengali writer, afflicted Mercury produces Cancer in the body. Hence according to the principles of Sudarsana Chakra, the native developed a tumour in the serratus anterior region under the right arm. Lagna, Sun and Moon are all afflicted by the 6th lord Jupiter. He died of cancer vide the rule nos. 3,5 & 6 under astrological rules of cancer. His cancerous attack was benign type since the strong involvement of Rahu was

(212)

absent. He died during Venus-Rahu dasa. His Janma Lagna & Janma Rasi were posited in the negative signs making the body vulnerable for external attack. A retrograde malefic planet in 12th spins a man like a wheel. A malefic in Lagna always speaks evils for the native. His all Kendras are vacant and 10th house is occupied by Ketu, aspected by deadly Saturn. Ketu in 10th aspected by Saturn did not allow any career for him and killed him while he was a kid.

Example 33. Recovery from Uterus cancer : DOB 28-10-1928, 9:25 AM, Calcutta, Scorpio Lagna, Venus, Saturn, Ketu, Aries Moon 0-43,, Jupiter (R); Taurus Rahu; Gemini Mars, Libra Sun, Mercury (R).

She was born in a good family in Bengal Mer Sun and suffered heavily at the hands of destiny. She lost her father at the age of 10, 9 7 10 6

body's chemical metabolisms are Ven Sat Ket controlled by the planet Venus. Since this 11 .. 4 5 Nep planet is decremented (180° away from its 2 Rah own house) and afflicted by Saturn and Ura 12 4

Ketu. Saturn Ketu in Lagna can generate 3 Mon Jup Plu Mar unknown diseases in the body not detectable by doctors. She suffered health hazards throughout her life. Malefics.in Lagna spells trouble for the native. She suffered from gall bladder stone problems also. Rahu Venus dasa killed her husband in April 1992, and during the Rahu - Sun dasa in April 1993, she was attacked with cancer in Uterus, Gajakeshri Yoga, Adhi Yoga cured her through proper medical treatments. Her 8th house is occupied by Mars, 8th house of Moon are occupied by Saturn and Ketu, 8* house of Sun is occupied by Rahu. So according to the principles of Sudarshan Analysis, she developed cancer in sex organs. Mars is well known to produce cancer in uterus. Her Mars is the 6t lord and hence initiator of all diseases. This Mars is posited in the 8th house from it own house, Scorpion and hence produced cancer in privities.

(213)

She is still alive in 2007. Example 34. Death for cancer : DOB 5-10-64, 3:30 PM, Calcutta. Aquarius Lagna, Saturn (R), Taurus Jupiter (R), Gemini Aquarius Lagna, Saturn (R), Taurus Jupiter (R), Gemini Rahu; Cancer Mars; Leo Venus; Virgo Mercury, Sun, Moon; Sagittarius Ketu Her Lagna is occupied by Saturn (R), and aspected by Mars. Malefics in Lagna spell 10 trouble for the native. 6t houses of Sun, 12

Moon, Lagna are afflicted. Debilitated Sat 9 Ket- 11 planets causes some deficiency of the Jup 2 8 house, wherever they are located. 5

Abdomen is controlled by the 6* house. Plu Ven Ura Rah 3 7 Nep Cancer caught her in Sept. 2003 (Jupiter. 4 6

Venus Venus dasa) and she died on 19-5- Mar Mon .Sun Mer 2004 within six months (Jupiter Venus Rahu dasa) Jupiter provides recovery power. Unfortunately her Jupiter . is retrograde in the 4th house and is debilitated in Navamsa Jupiter Venus dasa is peculiar to about 90% persons on this earth. Dasa of benefic planet in retrograde motion produces always peculiar diseases. Sun, Moon in conjunction with 8* lord in 8t squared by Rahu Ketu axis decreased her life span. When Kendras of 6h lord are occupied by malefics one suffers from many litigations in life. Sun, 8th lord Mercury, Rahu and Ketu in the angles of 6h lord Mercury brought her end through a painful experience. A certain geometrical position of Saturn with reference to Mars and Moon vis-avis the Ascendant or the 6th house or 8th house can predispose one to cancer. Her Saturn and Mars are in 6/8 relations, Saturn and Moon also in 6/8 relationships, Lagna and 6h house are occupied by malefics, 6n lordis squared by Rahu ketu axis. All these unfortunate planetary configurations produced cancer in her stomach. Astrologically the digestive organs are collectively governed by Virgo and Scorpio. Upper intestinal tract is Virgo and lower tract is Scorpio. Her Virgo is occupied by 6/8th lords squared by

(214)

Rahu-Ketu; Scorpio is aspected by Saturn. Afflictions of 6t/7th/gth houses produced cancer in the digestive faculty. Sun in Taurus aspected by malefics produce Tumours but afflicted Sun in Virgo produces : ulcers in the stomach (AM,Nov 1991 P 836) Example 35. Successful cancer operation : DOB 13-3-1984, 00.10 AM, Chennai Scorpio Mars, Ketu, Taurus Rahu; Gemini Moon 24° . Libra Saturn (R), Jup Nep Plu Sat 7 Sagittarius Jupiter ; Aquarius Venus; 9 10 6 Pisces Mercury, Sun. Mar Ket Jra 8* lord is placed in the 5* house, and is Sur Ven I 5 debilitated her Saturn in exalted but 2 Rah retrograde. A retrograde malefic like Mer 12 4

Saturn or Mars in 12 spins anybody like a 3 Mon wheel. An exalted planet in retrograde motion behaves like a debilitated planet. Saturn is the bestower of sufferings. She developed a tumour in the left side just under 12t rib, above the abdomen region in Jan 2006 (Governed by 5th house). When Aquarius and eleventh house are afflicted the disease will be left side. Her 11 * house is afflicted by Sun and Rahu. Aquarius is vitiated by 12th lord. 11t lord has conjoined with 8th lord. Hence the tumour generated in the 5t house area in the left side. A successful operation took place on 14-5-06. Strong Jupiter in his own house saved her life. 6/8 relationship of Saturn, Mars generated the cancer. Her operation took place during Saturn Moon dasa. Look Saturn is in the 12t house (hospital), Moon is in the 8th house (death). A planet in the 8th house of Lagna tries to tear the native apart when it gets the opportunity, particularly when it is alone. That is the reason Mars in 8h house acts as graveyard for ladies /It i also better to have number of malefic & benefic planets in 8t/or 12 for a comfortable life on this planet earth. This is the discovery of the learned author (Advanced Predictive Astrology, Vol 1,P 37 by Dr. S.S. Chatterjee) . She is a student of final year of biotechnology and her

(215)

father is a GM of NTPC/Noida. Gaja Keshari Yoga, Mudrika Yoga(Jupiter-Moon, Mercury in mutual angles) Budhaditya Yoga saved her life. A large number of experts have recently written books describing the advantage of high fiber diet. Roughage or fiber is essential for good bowel movement Cancer of the colon is the 2nd largest type of Cancer after cancer of lungs. In the USA alone, 10,000, new cases of colon cancer are reported every year. It is thought that the faecal matter lying in the colon for long.periods also the pressure in the colon might be the cause of Cancer of the colon, especially as cancer of he colon is very rare in rural Africa where the transit time of bowel movement is relatively more rapid, so it would appear that cancer of the colon might be avoided by keeping a high fiber diet (such as whole wheat flour, unpolished rice, fruits, vegetables and pulses). Gomedh, Pearl, white coral, Blue sapphire and Ruby have the power to cure cancer. Astrologers should prescribe the appropriate gems for the lord of Lagna and for the weakest planet, all infections in general are controlled by Gomedh.

LIVER DISEASE

The liver is a large reddish brown organ consisting of four lobes which are draped and to one side of the stomach just beneath the diaphragm. This three pound (1200-1500gm) organ operate as the chief chemical plant of the body . A few of its process are listed below : (a) bile production (b) detoxification (c) diaminations the liver, by a complex series of enzyme reactions, converts the part of amino acids into a waste called urea nitrogen (NH2-CO-NH2), which is carried by the blood to the kidneys for excretion. (d) erythrocyte destruction (e)allocation of glycogen i.e. maintains sugar level of blood (f) manufacture of fibrinogen and Albumin (g) Vitamin A storage.

Excretory substances are classified as carbonaceous if they contain carbon dioxide, nitrogenous if they contain nitrogen-carbon materials or minerals if salts are involved and water .. Nitrogenous wastes are

(216)

particularly highly toxic and much be quickly removed, because they can rapidly accumulate in the blood and cause death. A number of organs viz liver, lungs, skin and kidney are involved in excretion in mammals. The lungs deal with excess carbon dioxide and water, both being products of respiration. Amazing , our bodies can still function when only 1/4 of the liver is healthy enough to operate, unlike most other organs, even after severe damage, the liver can regenerate itself by growing new cells. Liver diseases are common but expert feel that many cases could be prevented by careful attention to diet and by hygiene.

Jaundice/ Cirrhosis :

When something is wrong with the liver or gall bladder, bilirubin tends to accumulate in the blood and the skin and whites of the eyes look yellow and because too little bile is reaching the intestine, the faces may be pale and grayish in colour.

Physiology of bile production .: f

The lever reduces all our food into protein, carbohydrates and fats, it also deals with toxic substances such as drugs and caffeine which come to it from the stomach and intestines. In a very short time, the poisons and unwanted substances which pass through the liver are neutralized and purified blood reaches the heart. In the fact liver operates 24 hrs a day rescue service, cleaning the blood of poisons or rendering them harmless. Bile is a thick, bitter yellow or greenish fluid made in the liver and stored with in the gall bladder. Released from the gall bladder into the small intestine in response to the presence of food, it is essential to the digestion of fats. It is also part of body's excretory or waste disposal system, because it contains the remnants of worn out blood cells.

Everyday the liver produces about 500-600ml of bile, which is alkaline in nature (pH 7.4)Major components of the bile include water, (95%) and a wide range of chemicals including bile salts, mineral salts, Cholesterol and bile pigments which give the bile its own characteristic

(217)

colour. The bile stays in the gall bladder until given the cue to play its part in the digestive process: As food but particularly fatty food enters the duodenum (the first portion of the intestine) from the stomach, the duodenum makes a hormone, called cholecystokinin. This hormone travels in the bloodstream to the gall bladder and makes it wall contract so that the bile is squeezed out. The bile then flows down another tube, the common bile duct, and though a narrow gap, the sphincter of oddi, which lets bile into the small intestine. Bile's mineral salts which include bicarbonate, then neutralize the acidity of partly digested food in the stomach. The bile salts, which are chemicals called sodium glycocholate and sodium taurocholate, break down fats so the digestive chemicals (enzymes) can go to work. Bile gets it colour for the presence of a pigment called bilirubin. One of the many jobs of the liver is to break down worn-out red blood cells. As this happens, the red pigment hemoglobin in the cells is chemically split and forms the green pigment biliverdin which is quickly converted to the yellow brown bilirubin. The greenish tinge of bile is given by the remnants of unconverted biliverdin. As well as pigmenting the bile, bilirubin colour are partially deodorizes the faeces, and also encourage the intestine to work effectively. Bile pigment is also responsible in part for the yellow colour of the urine. In the intestine, bilirubin is attacked by bacteria permanently stationed there and converted to a chemical known as uribilinogen which is carried to the kidneys and released in the urine. The liver disease appears in the form of Jaundice, yellow colouration of skin etching , nail clubbing, weakness, indigestion. Liver disease occurs due to the damage of liver cells by alcohol or water bomn bacteria (know as Hepatitis). Liver diseases are very dangerous Cirrhosis of liver occurs by the excess consumption of alcohol.

Protection of Liver disease :

1. Eat small, frequent meals. Fish oils are good. Take nuts, lot of carbohydrates, fresh fruits, Papaya and cane sugar juices which are excellent. Avoid oil and ghee. Drink excess water and less salt. Take Sorbilin an allopathic drug 200 ml.

(218)

2. Avoid excess food, drinks and alcohols for avoiding cirrhosis of liver. Excessive eating and drinking have probably caused for more cansalities among human being than all the bullets and bayonet of a civilization. Eating less never causes harm, it can only do good.

Astrological background :

When there will be a weak Lagna or badly aspected Lagna with affliction of Jupiter anywhere in the horoscope, the person will suffer from a liver disease in the form of cirrhosis, leading to generalized body weakness. If the 5t house is also afflicted along with Lagna, the liver damage will be more severe in the form of different hepatitis. If Jupiter and Saturn are in association or Jupiter and Saturn in mutnal angles, there will be improper functioning of the liver throughout the life. When Jupiter and Saturn are in the 5* house are aspected by other : malefics, there will be severe chronic liver disease leading to hepatic coma and death of the person. The author has Jupiter and Saturn in the 5* house. aspected by benevolent Venus from the 11t house. In 1995 during Venus Saturn Jupiter dasa (he has Capricorn Lagna) he suffered from mild cirrohis of liver, A child having Virgo Lagna, ( 9-5- 1986, 2=37PM, Kolkata) with Saturn in Scorpio and Jupiter in 6th, in Aquarins suffered from liver infections, jaundice at 11* lord Moon's dasa in 1994, at the age of eight yrs. Aspect of natural benefics on Saturn Jupiter combination will not cause severe liver diseases. Now I shall describe a few case of severe liver diseases.

Example 36. Cirrhosis of liver : Ura Plu Ven Sun Ket DOB 5-8-1971, 8=10AM, Delhi, Leo 6 4 Lagna, Mercury, Scorpio Jupiter; 7 3

Example 37. Serious jaundice : DOB 4-4-73, 8=20PM, Calcutta. Libra Lagna; Sagittarius .Rahu; Capricorn Mars, Jupiter, Aquarius Mercury; Pisces Sun, Venus; Aries Moon, Taurus Saturn; Gemini Ketu

The native is an M.Sc (Chemistry) and works in a private company as a chemist. Nep .Plu Ura

Sun Ven Sat Mars. Moon is hemmed between malefics. So Moon Jupiter dasa also generated jaundice in the body. This example definitely proves that Liver in controlled by Jupiter and Jaundice surface out during antardasa or pratyantar dasa of weak Jupiter.

Example 38. Abscess of liver : DOB 17-10-1952/8=20AM/Pathankot .. Libra Sun, Mercury; Scorpio Venus; Sagittarius Mars; Capricorn Rahu; Aries Jupiter (R); Cancer Ketu; Virgo Saturn, Moon.

Here Jupiter is retrograde and placed in a Kendra squared by Ranu Ketu axis. Benefic planets in Kendra invariably brings many diseases in life. He served as Ver Sat Mon Nep

a commissioned officer in Army between 8 6 Mar 9 5

1974-79. he resigned in 1979 (Rahu- Sun Mer

Mercury dasa) with a very minor issue Rah 10 4 Plu Ket 1 with his senior officer. When a yogakaraka Jup is placed in the 12t house, such a native 11 3 Ura

entertains destructive thinking. He 12 21

struggled very hard in life with many

(220)

changeable business with two kids and wife. He developed abscess of liver during Jupiter Rahu dasa in Jan 2004: Dasa of two retrograde planets cannot be very good. Kalsarpa yoga producing Rahu (even if one planet is outside Rahu-Ketu axis, Kal Sarpa Yoga a yoga of poverty and struggle exists) ruined him completely. Dasa of 6th lord retrograde Jupiter in the antardasa of Rahu was about to kill him. 5* lord in 12th afflicted by Mars added fuel in the fire. When the kendras of the 6h lord are occupied by malefics such a native's life becomes living hell. He can hardly manage his both ends meet.

KIDNEY AND GALLSTONE

The organs that specialize in excretion are the kidneys. The liver converts the amino acids through enzymes into a waste called urea (NH2-CO-NH2)is carried by the blood to the kidney for excretion. Red meat, alcohol, lentils, custard apple, chana, rajma, chiku, spinach and peanuts are rich in purine compounds (containing nitrogen) which rises the uric acid levels in the blood. Blood tolerates 0.55 ppm of uric acid in kids, 0.6 ppm in woman and 0.7 ppm in men. High uric acid level generates stones in joints, producing Gout, it increases highper tension. Take excess water and do lot of exercise to get rid of excess uric acid from the body. Breakdown product of high protein food breeds many diseases. Present doctors say an estimated one fourth obese children have high uric acid because of bad life style factors. Bile from the liver enters the duodenum via the common bile duct. About a one pint a day of this fluid is produced, some of which is stored in concentrated form in the gall bladder, a pear shaped organs lying under the right lobe of liver. Bile is an alkaline fluid rich in cholesterol.

Gall Bladder Diseases :

Even if the liver bile production system is working normally, things can go wrong in the Gall Bladder. Most notorious of gall bladder problem is gall stone. 75% of stones contain 50-98% cholesterol. The remaining 25% of stones contain bilirubinate (pigment stones) which are either black or brown in colour. While in some cases the cause of pigment

(221)

stones is haemolysis infection in the biliary tree. Sun is the karaka for all diseases concerning bowels and Mercury rules over the diseases of Gall Bladder. The root causes of the diseases of gall bladder are to be judged from the sixth house. When Kanya Rasi (Virgo), sixth house (either from Lagna or Moon), lord of sixth house, Sun, Mercury are afflicted and by any way related with the disease inflicting house or planet, they produce diseases in Gall Bladder. Saturn is the karaka for all stones. When malefic Saturn afflicted them or makes some relation with them, it causes stone in the gall bladder. When the combinations for gall bladder diseases are heavily afflicted by malefics, Rahu, Saturn and Mars etc and ascendant be also afflicted, they give rise to cancer of bladder. When the lord of Lagna and Mars are posited together in 6*/8*/1 2* houses, one may suffer from Carbuncle, rheumatism & Gall Bladder stones.

Kidney Problems: Each kidney weighs only a few grams but in spite of that they contain more than a million filter units called NEPHRONS which filter the blood. Blood is being continuously filtered by the kidneys and the waste matter from the blood is taken to the bladder in the form of urine. The main function of kidney is to regulate the water mineral and food content of the blood. The most common disease of the kidney is a stone. in a kidney which sometimes occurs if the body, does not take enough fluid. In old days a badly damaged kidney used to lead to death but .. now most countries in the world hae artificial methods :- The cleaning of the blood through an artificial kidney is called dialysis. Catcium salts, uric acid struvite (MgNH,PO4) are the basis of virtually all kidrfey stones. Calcium oxalate and Calcium Phosphate stones make 75- 80%of the same stone. Calcium Phosphate in stones are usually hydroxyapatite [Ca,(Po4),] OH or less commonly brushite (CaHPO„H2Ó): Astrological Aphorisms for Kidney Diseases: - 1: Venus is the lord of kidney. Moon and Jupiter are karakas for all

(222)

diseases and weak Moon is always bad for kidney. 2. When 7* house, lord of seventh, Libra Rasi, Jupiter, Moon and Venus are afflicted .. all these give rise to diseases in kidney. Affliction are caused by the lord of 6/8/12, Rahu, Saturn & Mars. 3. Saturn is the karaka for all stones. When Saturn afflicts Tula Rasi (Libra), 7* house, lord of seventh house, they give rise to diseases concerning kidney stones. 4. If Saturn is in Libra, afflicting Mercury induces very obscure spasms in the blood vessels of the kidney which frequently is confirmed after many blood chemistry examination because simply the conditions comes and goes. 5. people born in September October, when Sun is in Vrigo, suffer from afflictions of the lower abdomen or kidneys. 6. When Mars and Mercury being malefics, afflict the houses and planets ruling kidney, they produce tumours, abscesses etc. in kidney. 7. According to R. Santhanam (Essential of Hindu) Predictive Astrology), Venus in the 8th house indentical with Cancer/Scorpion and aspected by Mars or Rahu indicates kidney disorders, urinary diseases etc. Ladies, suffer from urinary 'diseases when Venus and Mars are posited in the 7* house. 8. Uranus in Libra indicates inflammation of the kidneys. 9. According to Dr. Jagnnath Rao in his book Medical Astrology has given a number of classical combination leading to kidney diseases (nephritis) (a) Sun, Saturn and Venus in the 5* house (b) Mars in the 10* aspected or conjunct with Saturn (c) Sun in Lagna and Mars in the 7* may lead to kidney problems. Kidney Donation : In case of acute kidney failure one can be sure of recovery, if one gets timely treatment. There are two options (a) one is to keep the patient on hemo-dialysis (b) and the other is to get a kidney transplant. Dialysis could prolong, life, say upto 8 yrs, with all its

(223)

trauma. Kidney transplant, if it succeeds could prolong life from 5-15 yrs or even more. The treatment is very costly and beyond the reach of common man. Kidney donation is not a small sacrifice. Kidney donors nndergo a pretty major operation and some of them have collapsed on the operation table itself. It is very surprising to note that all the kidney donors (voluntary donors)have afflicted Venus, 7* house/ ?* lord, sign Libra and Moon. They do have the symptoms like a kidney patient. Protection of Kidney Diseases :

1. Cut down the foods high in oxalate. Oxalate rich foods include rhubarb, beets, nuts, toffee, chocolate, tea, berries, most of the dark green leafy vegetables, sweet potatoes, baked beans, lentils and beer. Water, lemonade and fruit juice (simple lemon juice) help to prevent the formation of stones. 2. Control blood pressures for avoiding damage of the kidneys. High or low blood pressures gradually destroys kidneys. It could start with early throat trouble. 3. Drinking enough fluid will prevent formation of sediment in the kidneys which may ultimately become a stone in the kidney. 4. Attempts to dissolve calcnli (stones) in he kidneys have not been successful but an extremely expensive piece of apparatus called a LITHOTRIPTER is available in few centers and using this machine many calculi can be broken up in pieces in vivo, by application of shock waves to the body surface. The small piece of stones are then passed in urine. 5. Gems Therapy: gall Stones Emerald + Blue Sapphire, kidney Stone Dana farang, Peridot Jado (Kidney Ailments) Bladder Ailments Red Coral and Yellow Sapphire. Red Coral, Ruby and Emerald are also useful for the above diseases. 6. Hydrangea, a homeopathic drug is valuable remedy for gravel and for preventing the return of renal calculi. It is used in mother tincture.

Capricom Ascendant, Mercury, Saturn, Ketu; Aquarius Sun, Jupiter, Cancer Mars (R), Rahu; Libra Moon; Sagittarius Venus.

This is the horoscope of a rich businessman of Delhi. He had to undergo Sun Jup Ven

surgical operations for the removal of 11 9 8 kidney stone twice in December 1983 and. 12 Mer.Sat Ket again in February 1984 during Jupiter 10 Mon 1 7 Moon dasa. The astrological reasons for 4 Nep Mar kidney stones are as follows: Venus is the Rah

lord of Kidney. Moon and Jupiter are the 2 6

3 5 Ptu Ura karaka planets for all diseases of kidney. When 7* house, Libra Rasi Jupiter, Moon and Venus are afflicted all these give rise to disease in kidney. In the above birth chart, we find that Moon is heavily afflicted in Libra Rasi by Mars and Saturn. Venus is debilitated in Navamsa and is afflicted by Rahu and Saturn. So he developed problems in kidney. Saturn is the karaka planet for all stones. When Saturn afflicts Libra Rasi, 7* house and the lord of 7* house, it gives rise to diseases concerning kidney stones. In the above birth chart Saturn is afflicting 7th house and the 7* lord, Tula Rasi. So he developed kidney stones. We should stoop down our head in gratitude and great respect to those Indian sages who have recorded the above aphorisms simply by observing the movement of planets in the sky.

He developed kidney stone problems within sixth month after wearing the above gem during Venus Venus dasa (in October 1990). One should hot use the Gems of 3,6,8 lords. One get kidney diseases when 7* house, 7* lord, Venus, Libra Rasi Moon and Jupiter are afflicted in the birth chart. His 7th house is heavily afflicted (affliction on 7* house offers poor health) by Saturn (karaka of stones) and Mars. 7* house of zodiac, Libra Rasi in Navamsa is afflicted by Mars, Saturn and Ketu. Venus is retrograde and is afflicted by Rahu Ketu axis in the Rasi Chart. For all these astrological he developed kidney stone.

sixth lord Venus, Rahu Ketu axis and Saturn. 6* house from Lagna is afflicted by Uranus. 6* house of Chandra Lagna is occupied by Mars, 6* house of the zodiac is squared by Rahu Ketu axis. Sixth lord Venus is afflicted by Ketu and Saturn. Her 8* lord Moon is heavily afflicted by Rahu and 8th aspect of Mars, However this Moon is saved by the 5* aspect of Lagna lord Jupiter. According to the author, if Moon is weak and afflicted it will form stone in the kidney. Strong Moon afflicted by Saturn will favour stone formation in gall bladder provided ›ther yogas for such stone formation exists in the birth chart. Readers m. z v observe in this particular case, the Moon is posted in the 3"4 house in squarius (Saturn's house) and Rahu is carrying the influence of Saturn on Moon. This Moon is posited in Pisces in Navamsa in her fourth house aspected by Venus. In summary it may be said that the afflicted 6 house /6 lord. Sun and Mercury with Saturn gave her Gall Bladder Stones. Example 44. Case of Gall Bladder stone : DOB 14-6-1945, 15=45 hrs, Bengal Time, Calcutta.

7 May 1986. She was hospitalized in 9* 10 Plu 4 December 1993 for abdomen pain and the 1 Mon Mar Ven doctors found that she is suffering from Rah 3 gall bladder stones. The reasons are as 11 12 2 Sat Mer Sun follows: Her Sun and Mercury are posited Ura in the 8* house (a very malefic house). hemmed between malefics. Again this Sun and Mercury are hemmed between malefics in Navamsa also, in Virgo. Rahu is aspecting both Sun and Mercury by its 2nd aspect and carrying the influence of Saturn with it. Saturn and Ketu are in Mercury's star therefore they are

(228)

indirectly influencing Mercury. 6h house of Janma Lagna is aspected by Saturn and the 6 lord Jupiter is afflicted by Ketu and Saturn. 6h house of Surya Lagna is afflicted by Rahu which is carrying the influence of Saturn. Her Moon is posited in the 10th house in her own house. this Moon is posited in Capricorn Navamsa Lagna. Hence Moon is quite strong in her birth chart. However this Moon is indirectly influenced by Saturn, because .Moon is posited in Mercury's house. This strong Moon influenced by Saturn favoured stone formation in her Gall Bladder instead of kidney. Strong Moon did not allow stone formation in her kidneys although she has all the >ogas for stone formation for kidney stones. The afflicted 6thhouse/ 6* lord, Sun and Mercury with Saturn (karaka planet of stones) gave her gallbladder stones while she was passing Moon Mercury dasa. Her gall stones were removed by lapcroscopic method in July 1995.

In Apasavya diagram the dasa of benefic planets yield worst results. When the lord of ascendant is a malefic and is associated with another malefic it

(229)

indicates some congenial disability. His Lagna is not receiving any benefic influence and is aspected by Ketu. Ketu in Lagna generates mysterious diseases. When Lagna and its Lord are both afflicted, the disability will be more tragic. GOUT, ARTHRITIS & RHEUMATISM

Gout is a disease of the joint and is a form of rheumatism. It is a constitutional disorder connected with excess of uric in the blood, manifesting itself by inflammation of joints with deposition of monosodium urate monohydrate and also morbid changes in various important organs. Gout often occurs as a large, painful swelling the big toe, the ankle and the knee, the small joints of the feet and hands, the wrist and elbow follow in decreasing order of frequency. The affected join is hot, red and swollen with shiny overlaying skin and dilated veins. Gout result because of imbalance in the body, which causes an excess of uric acid. It is often a hereditary disease. Eating rich food such as liver, kidney or sardines, which are all high purine content, tends to intensify the incidence of gout. The bowels, the urinary tract, the skin and the nostrils all must expel the waste-matter from the body. If they become slack and do not function properly, these substances accumulate in the body and produce gout. The word 'arth' means joint and 'litis' means 'inflamed'. Arthritis affects the joints and they become red, warm, swollen and are painful to move. Rheumatology deal with a heterogeneous group of diseases of connective tissues, joints and bones. Rheumatic diseases are conditions in which pain and stiffness of some part of the muscular-skeletal system are prominent. It is convenient, if rather arbitrary, to group these disorders according to whether the basis for the connective tissue pathology is primarily inflammatory, metabolic or degenerative. Inflammatory diseases of connective tissue include rheumatoid arthritis and other types of inflammatory and ineffective arthritis, the spondee arthritis and the diffuse connective tissue diseases characterized by multi system organ pathology, systematic disturbance

(230)

and evidence of immune dyseregulation. Metabolic disorders include the crystal deposition diseases, gout and chondrocalcinosis, while the predominantly degenerative disorders are osteoarthrosis, spondylosis and a number of painful syndromes of the soft connective tissues. Arthritis is a very common affliction all over the world. It attacks people in different ways. Large number of people suffer from mild arthritis. The pain and discomfort in arthritis occur in various degrees of intensity. Osteoarthiritis is usually not serious. It occurs late in life and sometimes causes a knobby swelling at the most distant joints of the fingers. Rheumatoid arthritis usually starts in middle age and can cause you to be sick and stiff all over, in addition to having joint pains. Ankylosing spondylitis affects the back and the joints of the lower back bone. You may be suffering from it if your back is sore for a long time, particularly if it is stiff in a morning and you are unable to touch your toes.

Astrological Yogas of Gout, Arthritis and Rheumatism : Ache or pain in the body is due to congestion of carbon-dioxide, water, air etc. in the afflicted area. Gout and rheumatism bring painful swelling in the joints. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume the imbalance of wind (vata) in the system causes gouts, arthritis and rheumatism etc. Aswini, Arndra, Punarvasu, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Jyestha, Moola, Satabhisa and Purva Bhadrapada stars rule over wind and when Lagna or Rasi falls in any of the above stars and the above stars are afflicted, they give rise to windy diseases as mentioned above. Various astrological combinations for the above diseases are as follows:

1. Gout sets in body when Saturn and Mars are posited in mutual trines. 2. According to Jataka Parijata Saturn in 2n4/3rd/8t aspected by malefics produces gout and the patient may even die on account of this disease. the same combination, also may generate diabetes.

(231)

3 According to Jataka Parijata, (Chapter V, Sloka 114), if the lord of Lagna occupies Cancer Rasi in navamsa, the native may suffer from gout and brain diseases: 4 According to Harihar Mazumder vide his Jyotisha Yogasanchayan. a. If Venus and Mars are posited in the 12* house from the ascendant, on may suffer from gout and rheumatism. The above combination should be heavily afflicted. b. If the lord of Lagna is posited in Lagna and Saturn is conjoined with a malefic, one may develop gout at the age of59.

c. If the Sun is posited in the 3" house of Karakamsa or in the 3"d house from the atmakaraka planet, one may develop gout. d. If the dispositor of the 3"d lord is posited in the 8* house one may suffer from gout, arthritis and rheumatism. e. If the weak Moon and Saturn are posited in the 12* house from the ascendant one may suffer from gout & rheumatism. f. If Saturn is posited in Lagna and Mars is posited in 5t/7th or, 9* house, the native may suffer from rheumatism. g. When Mars Moon or Mars Saturn combination occupies Lagna, 7* house or 9* house from the ascendant, one may have gout. h. If Venus is posited in his friend's house and when Mars, Mercury or Saturn conjoins Jupiter in any house, the native may suffer from rheumati sm. i. Aspect of Saturn on weak Moon may suggest Iron loss and windy imbalance in the human system (The TOA, Oct. 1993,P29). j. The 6* lord in debilitation and being in the company of Saturn causes windy disorders. k. The Sun in Cancer aspected by Saturn or Satum in Cancer

(232)

aspected by Mars the native will be troubled by windy disorders.' 1. One may be troubled by windy disorders if Ketu joins Saturn. m. When all the airy signs one afflicted are suffers from arthritis.

Treatment for Gout, Arthritis and Rheumatism : Aspirin or any other analgesic in high doses is usually the treatment prescribed. To offset the possibilities of an upset stomach, aspirin should be taken immediately after meals. 2. The gout and arthritis patient must increase his intake of water to produce more urine. Vegetables high in purines such as cauliflower, asparagus, green peas, spinach and mushrooms should be avoided. 3. He should drink lukewarm water in the morning and evening with juice of lime. 4. Resting an inflamed joint can speed up healing. Heat may also help (I got very good results using infra red lamp). The joint should be moved periodically to prevent stiffness which may trouble later on. Infra red lamp heat should be applied for about 10 minutes immediately on the onset of the above disease. Delay may cause enough harm to the native. 5. Uric acids are formed by eating such as liver, kidney, sardines and anchovies which are all high in purine content, tend to bring arthritis. So one should avoid these foods. Avoid alcohol. 6. Those who suffer from a constant pain should apply a paste of raw potatoes ground fine on the affected joints. Oily fishes are helpful. 7. Gem Therapy : Red coral is good for Arthritis, Ruby and Blue sapphire can give relief to rheumatic patients. Libradorit can control spondylitis. Pearl is recommended for gout. Aspirin should not be given to children aged under 12 because of the risk of Reye's syndrome (It is a rare acute encephalopathy in children with fatty degeration of the liver developing after an infections illness such as influenza or chickenpox which has often been treated by aspirin). Chloroquine, hydroxy-chloroquine, gold salts and

(233)

penicillamine can be used with the same precautions as in adults. Examples of Rheumatism : Example 46.

This is the birth chart of a physically Rah handicapped lady whose health has been 11

completely ruined by the attack of sever Sun 1 Mar 2 10 Ju type of rheumatism and gout. Her Mer

(waist; knees and almost all joints). She Mon Ket

can hardly walk and can manage her routine duties. She is unmarried and staying with her widowed mother. She has two elder sister. She donated a kidney in 1976 (Rahu Rahu dasa) for saving the life of her eldest brother-in-law. We will examine her birth chart. r If malefics occupy 6* house and Rahu and Saturn are joined together or establish any relationship, the native will suffer from physical ailments. In her birth chart Ketu in the 6* house is powerfully aspected by Mars. Rahu is posited in the house of Saturn. Saturn is afflicting Lagna, Lagna lord Jupiter, Sun and 9* lord Mars. She has very weak Moon, Moon in square to Sun produces many diseases. and is severely afflicted by Ketu. Her 7* house is afflicted by the dangerous malefic 12* lord Saturn, Jupiter, Sun, Moon, Lagna, Lord of Lagna all are afflicted in her birth chart. Moon is spoiled by Satum in both Rasi and navamsa. Moon is the giver of life in females and Sun is the giver of life in males. Satunyin 7* is never welcome (Astrology Nectar by Dr.S.S. Chaterjee F 91) it will force the native to become sickly. Saturn and Mars are

(234)

posited in mutual trines. So she has developed gout, quite in agreement with the rule no.1 under astrological background of gout, arthritis and rheumatism. 3rd, 7* and 11h houses of zodiac are afflicted by wind planets Sun and Saturn. So quite naturally she developed windy imbalance in the body. Rahu in the 6h/8t/12th house unexpected by benefics will be giving troubles in its dasa. Rajive Gandhi had Rahu in his 12" house and was not aspected by any planet. Hence it turned to be a killer planet. Rahu/Ketn aspected by trine/quadrant lords behaves as a yogakaraka. Everything evaporates in air when 9* house/9* lord are weak. Her 9* lord is detrimented and is a combust planet. Further it is afflicted by Saturn. Saturn + Mars are concentrating their forces on the 9* house. Her 9* house is squared by Rahu-Ketu axis. Moon is the seed of all planets. Weak Moon spoiled her life. Dasa sequences are very very bad for her. As per KCD she was born in Apasavya group B, 1" quarter with a balance Tula 9y 8m 22d. Pisces-Jeeva, Cancer-Deha, Libra, Virgo, Leo dasa passed away smoothly. As soon as Cancer dasa started on 5-3-1975, her problems surfaced out. Moon is very weak, therefore Cancer dasa yielded futile results for her. Deha sign is occupied by 8* Jord. When Deha/Jeeva signs are occupied by 6th / 8* lord, Goddess Laxmi never visits such a native i.e. they never become prosperous.

Example 47 . Severe set backs in life for Rheumatism : DOB 11-8-1946, 9=03 PM, Dakha. Birth Chart : Pisces Lagna, Taurus Rahn; Cancer Sun, Mercury (R), Rahu, Virgo Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Scorpio Ketu 11

This is the birth chart of a married woman Rah 1

who has two daughters. Her physical 2 10 Mon Ura 12 sufferings started when she was 26 yrs old 3 9 (Rahu Mercury dasa). Rahu Mercury dasa Plu 6

is bad for 99% persons, She experienced Sun Ven Mer Mar Jup 8 Ket minor joint pains in knees, elbows and 5 Nep Sat 7

pelvic region. The intensity of pains

(235)

became severe, and the affected areas got swollen when she was 28 yrs old. Her face, legs, hand were badly swollen, her voice got chocked and in fact her whole body was puffed. According to medical experts she was a attacked with a rheumatic typhoid disease which precipitated the severe rheumatic attack, (at the age of 30) She was bed-ridden for about 14 yrs. She got some relief only in. 1990 (on the onset of Jupiter Venus dasa). Constant medical treatment cured her. I visited her in June 1992 and found quite normal but her legs were still swollen.

Astrological reason ofher sufferings:

1. When Lagna, Sun, Moon Jupiter and 6* house are well fortified by situation, conjunction and aspect of benefics good health will be monitored. Her Sun is conjoined with 12* lord Saturn and is aspected by Ketu. Moon is posited in Capricorn (a planet posited 180° away from its own sign is considered as a debilitated planet) in the 111h house (a baneful house) and is aspected by 6* lord Sun, 12* lord Saturn and malefic Rahu. It is posited in 6* lord Sun's constellations. Jupiter (Lagna lord) is debilitated in Virgo and is afflicted by the 8* lord debilitated Venus, Saturn, Mars and Rahu. 6 house is squared by Rahu Ketu axis and the 6* house is hemmed between malefics. Lagna is aspected by 8* lord Venus, r malefic Mars and Ketu and also the lord of Lagna Jupiter. Contact of Ketu in Lagna generates disease in the body not detectable by doctors, so for the afflicted Sun, Moon, Jupiter, lagna/lagan lord and 6* house she is not enjoying good health.

2. She has four detrimented/debilitated planets (Moon, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn) planets which caused intense sufferings in life.

3. Her 4* lord Mercury is retrograde and is heavily afflicted by Saturn, Pluto 6th lord Sun and Ketu Retrograde and afflicted 4* lord denied her all types of happiness in life.

4. Her 7* house is heavily afflicted Generally a well placed 7*

(236)

house assures a strong health. Mars or Saturn in 7* house is an indication of sins of the pastlife,

5. She is suffering from severe windy disorders for the rules nos 11 - 13 under yogas for gout, arthritis and rheumatism Sun 6* lord in presence of Saturn in Cancer Rasi precipated the severe type of rheumatic attack. .

6. All the airy houses from the ascendant are afflicted (3/7/11th).

7. She has a faulty blood circulation system .moon the karaka planet of blood is severely afflicted 4* house of Lagna is hemmed between Rahu and Saturn 8* house is hemmed between Mars and Ketu . 12th house is squared by Rahu Ketu axis. 6* house is hemmed between Saturn and Mars. .

So her massive sufferings for the rheumatic problems are not surprising. She suffered immensely in Rahu and Jupiter dasas, both these planets are posited in the 2ªd lord Mars constellation. Sufferings are generally caused when the trinal places or trines from the Lagna lord are occupied by the lords of 8* and 12* or Rahu/ Ketu or if the 4th,61h or 8* house from the dasa lord, there are malefics, debilitated or combust planets located. Rahu is posited in the 9* house from lagna lord. 5* house of Rahu is occupied by debilitated Venus and Jupiter and mars aspected by Saturn. 6* house of Rahu is hemmed between malefics. 4* house of Jupiter is aspected by Mars. And the 8* house of lagna lord is aspected by Saturn and Mars. Therefore both Rahu and Jupiter brought Mar 9 her unimaginable amount of physical 11 8 Mon sufferings. Ket 12 10 Example 48.

Venus; Virgo Rahu; Scorpio Moon This is the birth chart of one of my colleagues with whom I started my career in FCI, Sindri. He is a doctorate in organic chemistry, married in 1971 and is the proud father of a daughter and a son, both of them have settled in USA. His sufferings started in 1980 when he was passing through Venus Rahu dasa which aggravated the situation on 15-8-1981 when he suddenly fainted on the road and experienced severe joint pains throughout his body. Doctors told him that he was suffering from Osteoarthritis. He suffered immensely from this dangerous disease . between 1981-1983 (entire Venus Jupiter dasa) inspite of thorough between check up by the experts in Calcutta. He took training in Yoga Therapy in Srirampur, near Calcutta and made himself virtually free from this disease, although he never regained his original health. He had a very fair complexion, but he lost all his grace and charismatic outlook for this dangerous disease (Venus controls body luster which is afflicted by 6* lord Mercury and by the 3id aspect of Satum in the 6 house the house of diseases). We will now examine his birth chart:

All the airy signs of the zodiac (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are afflicted Saturn, a windy planet is afflicting Gemini and Libra and Mars . is posited in a windy constellation in Aquarius). If Venus is posited in a < friend's house, Jupiter conjoins within a malefic, the native may suffer from rheumatism. In this case Venus is posited in a friend's house in a windy star and is aspected by a windy planet Saturn, Venus is posited in an airy sign of the zodiac. Jupiter is heavily afflicted by 8th lord Sun and aspected by Mars and Rahu. Therefore he developed rheumatism and arthritis. Venus in the 8* house aspected by malefics produces gout (Purkayastha, Medical Astrology,P 186). His Venus is posited in the 6* house from Janma Lagna and in the 8t house from the Chadnra Lagna afflicted by Saturn. The dispositors of Sun, Moon and Lagna lord are posited in bad houses. So all these unfortunate configurations triggered off the malady. Saturn, the lord of ascendant and the 2nd house has exchanged place with 4/11 lord Mars. 7th house is not aspectd by any malefic and the 7th lord Moon is aspected by Jupiter. So strong 4th lord,

(238)

unafflicted well placed Jupiter in a trine house provided him speedy recovery. According to Vimsottari system he suffered from this disease when he was passing Venus Rahu and Venus Jupiter dasas: In transit . Saturn and Jupiter were in close conjunction (above 5'14°). In August + 1981. when Venus entered Virgo on 15h August 1981, the disease aggravated. So we find a close relationship between Venus, Jupiter and Saturn for the severe attack of the above disease. Venus dasa proved very fatal for him because 4* house of Venus is occupied by Rahu aspected by deadly Mars, 6* house of Venus is occupied by debilitated Moon aspected by Ketu, 8* house of Venus is aspected by Saturn and Rahu. Therefore the disease started when he was passing Venus Rahu dasa. In 2007, he is still alive, but takes advice from Mumbai regularly. Vitamin C and fish prodide relief to Osteoarthiritis. He takes fish regularly. 2nd lord has generated neechvanga Raja Yoga in the 4* house. Strong 2nd lord (10th form 5*) helped his both the children to settle very well in life.

ASTHMA AND ITS CURE

Asthma is actually a form of allergy against dusts. Allergy is the phenomenon in which the antibodies produced by certain substances combine with antigens and force the mast cells to produce cytoplasmic granules such as histamines, seratonin which induce symptoms like itching, swelling, rashes, redness etc in the body. It is a disorder of the respiratory system Charaterised by severe paroxysms of difficult breathing. Respiration becomes difficult and breath come with a wheezing and some sometimes. with whistling sound. It can be controlled (but it can never be cured). It is a global problem affecting all age groups young, children, adolescents adults and old persons. It is twice as frequent in males than in females. The disease is not transmitted from one person to another. Actually asthma is caused by excess of phlegm and the inability to the body to expel it. If the patient gives up foods which tends to increase the phlegm i.e. rice, flour-passed through sieve, sugar, lentils, milk and curds he can find relief. He

(239)

should put on foods which discourage phlegm, such as green vegetables, fruits (orange, tomato, papaya, guava, mango, apple) and carrots. An asthma patient should regularly fast once a week. Salt free diet would be the best (or should take minimum salt). Vitamin C helps promote a healthy immune system and may be helpful in reducing wheezing in children with asthma.

Symptoms of Asthma : The attack is often quite sudden commencing in the early morning between 2-4 A.M. He wakes up with a sense of dysponea, walks out of bed, open the window to let more air. The breathing is soon so difficult that he has to call in the aid of all the accessory muscles of respiration; he grasps with his hands the sides of this bed, the arms of a chair to give a firm for the muscles which pass from the upper extremities to the chest. Attack or recurrent attack of wheezing (whistling in the chest during breathing). Having cough, wheezing or chest tightness after exposure to allergens or pollutants. Asthma is a kind of heart disease. The bronchial tubes are narrowed by a spasmodic contraction and they secrete an excess of mucus, which makes breathing difficult. The common irritants which could trigger off an asthmas attack included the following : A. Cigarette smoke. B. Wood smoke. C. Chemical fumes. D. Cleaning agents such as phenyl E. Perfumes and hair spray., F. Atmospheric pollution usually thick dusts floating/suspendedin air. G. House hold dusts mixed with fur of animals like dog, cat, horses and so on. People who suffer from various allergies (such as eczema) · including food related allergies at a very young age face. a greater risk of developing asthma. There is increasing evidence to suggest that asthma does tend to run in families. This makes children of asthmatic particularly vulnerable. However the fact is that children with asthma can lead perfectly normal lives and should be encouraged to go to school, play and have other activities just like other children. Asthma normally improves as children grow up and in some cases, it disappears completely on entering adolescence. Some simple environmental changes and precautions along with appropriate medication can help in

(240)

better management of asthma. Swimming is an excellent sport for the asthmatic patients. This is a form of exercise they tolerate well. Take deep breath daily which will help to expel the accumulated carbon- dioxide in lungs. In deep breath we can exchange 500 CC air. One should avoid the cough syrups and expectorants, pain killer drugs, birth control pills, tranquilizer and water in between meals. Keep doors and window closed during February, March and September when the pollen count and ill effect of moulds are the highest. Keep away from sources of mould (such as wet leaves or garden debris). Remove the animal from the house. Avoid using kerosene heaters, smokes, thick dusts etc. asthma provides relief by taking hot milk, hot coffee or hot tea.

Astrological concept of asthma : Gemini, Libra and Aquarius are airy signs. If one of these signs become Lagna and is afflicted, one is likely to sufferfrom Asthma. Mercury (3 rd lord of Zodiac) is the karaka planet for Asthma. Its affliction is a must for this dangerous disease. moon produces cough. Weak and afflicted or badly placed Moon produces disease of cough. Repiratory Canal 3rd house and its lord, Breathing lord Mercury and Rahu, Lingering of disease Saturn, Cough Moon and Jupiter, Airy planets Rahu and Saturn. Afflicted 31d house/3"d lord/Mercury/or Rahu produce breathing trouble: When 3rd house 3rd lord, Gemini, Libra and Aquarius signs, Mercury, Rahu and Moon be afflicted, by malefics in a way of conjunction, aspect etc, be situated in evil houses and be in some way related with disease inflicting house or planet, they give rise to the disease of Asthma.

Aphoroisms of Asthma:

1. Saturn, Rahu or Ketu in 8* house aspected by or conjoined with a · malefic or hemmed between malefics. 2. If lagna be aspected by Mars and Saturn. Mars and Saturn in Lagna denotes to spasmodic asthma. The attacks are clearly attributable to some obstruction of the minute bronchial tubes

(241)

and the prevailing view is that this obstruction is due to · . spasmodic contraction of the bronchial muscular fiber, hence the name "Spasmodic Asthma", to distinguish it from other kind of dyspnoea, especially chronic bronchitis and emphysema, popularly known as Asthma .. 3. lf lord of Ascendant and Saturn combine in 6/8th/12th the native become a chronic patient of Asthma. 4. 5* lord in 2nd or 8 . 5. The Sun occupying Lagna be aspected by Mars. 6. When the lords of 4th and 6 exchange their ho lsesandif one of these signs so exchanged be a watery sign, a thma is caused. 7, When the Ascendant is a watery sign and when the lord of ascendant occupies a malefic house. 8. The Mon is found between Saturn and Mars with Sun placed in Capricorn. 9. Moon and Mercury together in any sign aspected by malefics. 10. Rahu and Moon in the 2nd house. 11. Saturn in Lagna, especially if watery signs such as Cancer, Scorpio or Pises are involved can show problems related to breathing such as wheezing, constant cold and sneezing and also asthma.

Remedial Measures :

Eat at least 5-10 servings of fruits and vegetables and include cirtrus fruits. Vitamin C promote a healthy immune system. Losing weight can improve as them a symptoms. Cough and cold are the vital symptoms of Asthma. So by using hot gems Ruby (8Rati) or Red Coral (10 Rati) or Cat's eye (3-4Rati) are can be cured from asthma. Deficiency of red colour in our body causes fever, anemia, physical debility, weakness, piles fistula, inflammations etc. The Gems Red Coral, Ruby or Cat's eye have perennial source of red colour. It is now well known that any of these three stones can cure the above diseases merely by being worn -on the 3rd finger of either hand. According to the author, emerald (6.0

(242)

rati) should cure asthma. As inhalers (salbutamol, terbutaline). They can be inhaled using nebulizer (also know as atomizer) inhaled medicines should be the first choice. They begin to work within 5 minutes and have fewer side effects. These drugs cannot prevent the swelling that causes prolonged symptoms. The liquid or tablet begins to work within 30 minutes and its action lasts for 4-6 hrs. they include wysolone, prednisolone and betnelan and injections (efcorlin and betamethasone). These drug's are called corticosteroids and they prevent and reduce swelling inside the airway. The patient can take one tablet ciplox 500mg and one capsule of marax along with 2 tablets of celestamine twice daily for 15 days. For medicines one should consult a well qualified physician.

Which Gem should be prescribed as a remedial measure ?:

Phaladeepika, a classical Sanskrit Text lays a great emphasis on forth house and its lord for happiness and physical health. The author says that if the 4* lord is strong and if the ascendant lord is stronger than the 6* lord, the native enjoys perfect health. The reason is clear, sixth represents illness and disease, just as it represents enemies, debts and al the rest of it. So Lagnadhipati, denoting the physique of a person, should be stronger than the planet whose strength denote disease (6* lord).and in addition, the 4* lord (Sukhadhipati) should be strong for perfect physical health to be enjoyed by native. The point is 4* house denotes happiness to be enjoyed, the first and foremost requisite, is good physical health. One cannot enjoy good food and drinks or the best company of friends and relatives or one's own wife unless one has the sound health. Health is wealth. 6h/8*/12t lords are the trika lords and their strength and association with Lagnesh/5/9h lords-means hardships inlife, including sufferings from many common diseases. One should not prescribe Gems for these trika lords. Gems for the Lagnesh, 41/7t/10t lords, Moon, trine lords, Sun arid dispositor for Moon should be prescribed for avoiding common diseases. Shortly Sun and Moori should help any native

(243)

irrespective of Lagna to fight diseases. One should also see that Jupiter is strong in any horoscope, because Jupiter gives recovery power. therefore yellow Pokhraj should be prescribed if it is found weak in rasi and navamsa.

Colour Therapy :

God has created only seven primary colours (VIBGYOR violet, indigo, blue, green, yellow, orange and red). Other colours are actually the mixture of these primary colours.

The colours for the 6* and 8th lord should be avoided in food and clothes for avoiding common diseases. The native should be asked to consume maximum colours represented by Lagnesh and the 4* lord. I have found that this is a way affective measure for avoiding diseases. Harmful colours for various Lagnasare as below:

Lagna Best colour Harmful colours

Aries Red, Yellow Green

Taurus Green, Violet Yellow

Gemini Yellow, Green Red,' deep Blue, violet and black.

Cancer Red Violet, deep Blue, black ; Leo ' Red Violet, deep Blue, black Virgo Green, Yellow Red, Black

Libra Green, Red, Violet Yellow

Scorpion Red, Yellow Green

Sagittarius Yellow, Red, Green White (pl. change the colour with borunvita, Vegetables etc.) Capricorn Violet, green Red, White Yellow

Aquarius Violet, White Green

Pisces Yellow, Red White, Violet

Epileptic fits and mental retardation are the diseases for which advance diagnostic techniques or preventive methods are not available. The

(244)

manifestations of these diseases can be overcome by avoiding the harmful colours in foods and clothes.

Gemini Lagna people are very much accident prone persons. By avoiding Red food, they can overcome many problems including accidental hazards in life. I suggest the Pisces and Sagittarius people to use a swastika mark in Yellow colour in their white clothes.

Certain yoga techniques are very useful in eliminating common diseases. If anybody can control his mind with the preliminary techniques of Yama. Niyama and Pranayama under the guidance of a Guru, he is sure to overcome many common diseases like arthritis, asthma, allergy, hypertension, blood vessel spasma, diabetes, common colds, stomach disorders, gout, mental problems (lunacy) heart ailments and many other troubles.

The Yogic process of treatment comprises of three steps:

I. Proper diet. Foods can heel and foods can produce diseases.

II. Proper Yoga practice and

III. Proper knowledge of things which concern the life of an individual

By following the above steps almost all diseases are cured.

childhood. All medical treatments yielded futile results. I gave her 10 Rati Red coral and 3.0 Rati good quality of cat's eye (transparent). She was not allowed to take green food or use green clothes. To the surprise of her aged and worried parents she recovered completely in Dec 1998. Now she is maintaining an excellent health and her marriage is visible on the horizon. Her 4* lord (sukhadhipati) is debilitated in the 8* house, a baneful house. Highly afflicted Moon and Sun added fuel to the fire. The moon free from malefic affliction or aspects, strong would be a great asset in any horoscope conducting to physical health, mental power and brilliance and also lot of affluence because Moon is also Sampathkaraka or giver of wealth. Her Moon is highly afflicted by Saturn. Mars and Ketu: But aspect of Jupiter on Moon at least did not put her in bed. In spite of poor health she received sound education, MA (Hist) M.Ed. We are aware of the famous astrological aphorism, if the dispositor of the lord of Lagna is posited in the trika houses (6/8/12), the native has a weak constitution. Indeed her despositor of Lagnesh is debilitated in the 8* house, providing her an ailing physique since childhood. Her 3rd house is squared by Rahu-Ketu axis, 3rd house is afflicted by Mars who is carrying the deadly influence of Rahu with him. Her afflicted Moon, Mercury, Rahu 3rd lord and 3rd house generated asthma in the body. When number of malefics afflicted the 6* house one has a poor health. Her 6* house is afflicted by Ketu, Mars and Saturn. When the Moon is in association with a malefic is posited in the 6* house, it is an indication of poor health. So we are not surprised to observe her suffering for the last 27 yrs. Plu Mon . Example 50. Childhood attack of 3 5 Asthma : DOB 10-11-57, 10=35 PM Jup 6 2 Ura Gorakhpur.

Commencement of Jupiter Mahadasa, who is in Yogakaraka Mar's star, cured her completely. Asthma normally improves as children grow up, and in some cases, it disappears completely on entering adolescence. There is increasing evidence to indicate that some children will regain their asthma later in life. However medically, it is difficult to predict which particular child will develop asthma in adult life. I firmly believe her Mudrika Yoga (Moon-Jupiter-Venus in mutual angle) is responsible for her meteoric rise in life. Now she is an extremely wealthy lady free from diseases. Whenever there is Oajakeshari Yoga, Jupiter Mahadasa bestows immense prosperity in life, provided Moon dasa does not come between 21-65 yrs if age Emperor Auranzgeb's Jupiter dasa also yielded excellent results. Rahu is afflicted by Sun and Mars. Mercury is afflicted by Saturn, 3rd house of Janma Lagna is afflicted by 6* lord Jupiter, Significator of asthma, Moon is aspecteed by Badhaka Venus from Sagittarius. Her 3rd house of Chandra Lagna is afflicted by Pluto who is aspected by Saturn and Ketu. Her Moon is in Yogakaraka Mars's star and not afflicted by any severe malefic planet. Her Satum dasa is yielding benefic results for her because it has generated Vipareeth Raj Yoga with Mercury (union of 12* and 8* lord). Mercury Mahadasa should also produce good results for her for the obvious reasons. Astrologically we are sure she will not Ket Mer Nep 11 regain asthma in her old age. 9 Sun 12 Ven Example 51.

Jupiter, Scorpio Moon; Sagittarius Mercury, Sun, Ketu. This is the horoscope of Master Kharbanda son of a retired Lt. Col. He inherited this disease from his mother, however his elder sister is free from this disease. His 3rd lord Jupiter is placed in an inimical house of Rahu's star, Moon is debilitated and aspected by Saturn carrying he deadly influence of Mars, Mercury is spoiled by the direct 4* aspect of Mars and who is in conjunction with poisonous Ketu. Whenever the dispositor of Lagnesh is posited in 6/8/12 houses the native has a poor health. In fact his dispositor of Lagnesh is posited in 6/8/12houses the native has a poor health. In fact his dispositor lagnesh is placed in the 12h with Sun and Ketu. His Rahu is aspected by the deadly 10th aspect of Saturn. So we are not surprised to observe his poor health and asthma attack. Ketu Mahadasa brought the nightmare in his life from March, 1987. Since Ketu is exalted his sufferings were under check. However the onset of Venus Mahadasa made his life more miserable. He suffered severely from bitter asthma attack during 1994-97 while he was in Lucknow. His father Lt. Col Kharbanda met me on 17.3.98 and I prescribed 12 rati Red coral for Master Kharbanda. He became well, passed XII classes from Noida Public School. He has also been advised not to consume much yellow food. Red is the best colour for him, he took tomatoes, apples and other red foods regularly. He passed MCA from Kolkata in July 2006 and is free from Asthma.

Sixth lord in the company of 11" lord brought permanent injury to his left arm while he was less then three months old, and he maintained mnch distance from his elder brother. His elder brother did not allow him to occupy the house left behind by his father. His younger brother was assassinated in 1970, during Naxalbari movement. Presence of 6h lord with 3"d lord Sun, brought the tragedy. He suffered from asthma, breathing trouble right from birth and never recovered form this disease. the dispositor of Lagnesh in 8* house compelled him to suffer physically thronghont his life. Afflicted Mercury, Rahu, Moon, 3rd house, 3rd lord and Lagna is an airy sing made him prone to this dreadful disease throughout his life. When 1$ house makes any relationship with 6* house or the 6* lord, one may get serious illness. His Langesh Mercury and 6* lord Mars have conjoined together. Jnpiter, Rahu, Saturn and Sun are posited in 61h lord Mars's constellations. So his life was full of litigations. 1. remember one ' interesting story about him. Somewhere in 1968 thieves ransack his house while he was in Calcutta in Pujaholidays. After his return to Sindri, he reported the matter to Police. Police started harassing him from 1968 and asked him to appear at Dhanbad Court for the identification of his stolen goods. Once he went to the conrt where he was allowed to stand outside at 45℃ temp. His wife fainted, and he had to bribe the police for brining the matter out of court. He has three prosperous children, one son followed by two daughters. (4th from 5* has foUr planets) First two children are now USA citizens, who obtained Ph.D degrees from USA and youngest daughter is an MBA from Poona. He has settled in Dumdum area of Kolkata and his hale and hearty in 2007.

PARALYSIS AND ITS CURE

lt is one of the most dreaded diseases that some of the unfortunate victims have to withstand its dangerous affects. The affected limbs is deprived of its movements and some sensations (such as heat, touch

(249)

etc.). In medical parlance, paralysis is actually a neurological disorder or cerebral ischaemia. It may 'be caused by atherosclerosis, embolism, arthritis, arteriospasam or hypertension, alone or in combination and result in infraction manifest clinically as a stroke, transient ischaemic attacks or dementia. When some rupture of the brain cells or the collapse of the brain cells occur in the left side of the brain, paralysis is struck in the right side and vice versa. Sudden accidental shocks may also cause rupture of the brain cells. The eyes, face, legs, hands, tongue ((speech) etc. can be struck by paralysis and the relevant function could remain destroyed temporarily or for ever. Sometimes paralysis could be to one side of the body or yet in some unfortunate circumstances the whole body may be paralysed. Paralysis of the lower or upper part of the body is also well known. When a certain part of the body is deprived of regular blood supply it develops a type of paralysis called Hemaplexia.

Cerebral blood diseases are of three types : Blood clotting (thrombosis) which leads to paralysis very slowly. Blood has a property of clotting due to thrombus is ruled by Saturn. If Saturn is in conjunction with Jupiter, there are chances of embolism. Blood stream obstruction due to sudden embroil like ear infection and natural calamity and Haemorrhage. The out come of haemorrhage will be sudden death, coma or paralysis. If paralysis develops very rapidly it may initially be of flaccid type, but spasticity and hyperre flexia are soon manifest and usually are detected from the onset. There may be hemianopia and heminaesthesia on the side of hemiplegia. If the infarct lies in the dominant hemisphere dysphasia may supervene. This familiar stroke pattern reflects the frequency of infarcts in the brain territory supplied by the middle cerebral artery1 but it should not be assumed that the causal lesion lies within the artery. In more than half of the cases presenting this picture the primary lesion lies in the internal carotid artery or in more proximal vessels. Frequently transient ischaemic attacks are due to emboli which arise from atheromatous plaques, are carried distally, lodge in and

(250)

block small arteries and them break and disperse. In other cases flow through a stenotic artery may be reduced because of hypertension and may cause transient cerebral ischaemia. Occasionally, neck rotation leads to pressure on, and reduced flow through, a vertebral artery causing ischaemia in the brain stem; Some transient strokes may be due to small intracerebral haemorrhages. Astrology of Paralysis : Paralysis is an acute case of windy disorder in the human body and has been known from centuries. Karaka planet for this disease is Mercury. If he is afflicted heavily and be connected with the 6* house, 6* lord and the 9* house; and if the 9* house is also afflicted along with its lord, this disease is sure to occur. Paralysis is actually obstruction of blood circulation in the affected area. Arterial blood is governed by Jupiter. The Sun provides oxygen to the blood and the Moon causes circulation of blood. Saturn stands responsible for narrowing down the arteries or obstructing down the arteries or obstructing the blood circulation by generating clotting. If the Sun, the Moon & Jupiter are afflicted with Saturn and may be involved with the 6* house, coronary thromobosis is likely to be caused. If the lord of Lagna occupies the sign of Mercury or Mars and be aspected by inimical planets Saturn, Rahu or Ketu, it will cause paralysis. Mercury rules the youth, Saturn rules one's old age. When these two planets are not conjunct and are separated by about ninety degrees, then the young age paralysis is distinct possibility. But when they are together, old age paralysis is feared. If the 4th house is of prime importance in analyzing this disease, old age will be the main target for the heavenly bodies. If this is 10h house (meridian), then the victimization is at youth. All movements of any limb is controlled from the 3rd house. So the affliction of 3" house is found in the cases of paralysis. All the yogas for the imbalance of windy disorders may be consulted under the yogas for Gout, Arthritis and Rheumatism before forecasting paralysis.

(251)

Remedial Measures

1. Gems therapy (a) yellow Sapphire + Red coral in gold can prevent Apoplexy (stroke or cerebral haemorrhage in the brain) (b) Red coral + Emerald in gold can provide relief to paralytic patients. (c) Emerald + Blue Sapphire have great healing power for this disease. (d) Amethist or Neelam alone may be prescribed.

2. Some yogic exercises are helpful in the case of paralysis.

3. Anticoagulant therapy and inhibitors of platelet aggregation are preventive measures. Cigarette smoking should be stopped, diabetes and hyperlipidaemia treated and polythaemia controlled by veresection or radioisotope therapy. Example 53; Case of Paralysis: DOB 21-11-1962, 14=20hrs, Pisces Lagna, Cancer Rahu, Mars, Virgo Moon, Libra Venus, Scorpio Sun, Mercury; Capricorn Saturn, Ketu; Aquarius Jupiter. The native married in 1990 and became father on 26-1-93. He lost his father on 12- Jup -

12-1989.He met a severe road accident on I1 Sat

2 10 27-12-1990. he was thrown out of his Kçt motorcycle which he was driving at 12.00 12 3 noon and became unconscious 9 6 immediately. He was hospitalized by Mon Rah Mer

some strangers and to his surprise he 4 8

Mar 5 7 Sun found that his right side was paralysed Ura Plu Nep Ven

when he regained consciousness after almost 24 hrs. Yoga exercises provided him some relief and somehow he is managing his duties in his company. We will now examine.his birth chart.

a. fcaraka planet for this disease is Mercury. If he is afflicted heavily and be connected with the 6 house, 6t lord and the ninth house; and if the ninth house is also afflicted along with its lord, this disease is sure to occur. Here Mercury is

(252)

posited with the 6th lord Sun in the 9t house. 9th lord Mars is debilitated and is heavily afflicted by Saturn and Rahu Ketu axis. So quite logically he had a paralysis attack.

b. According to Mr. R. Santhanam (Essentials of Hindu . Predictive Astrology) when Mars aspects Saturn the latter placed in Cancer windy disorders to the native be foretold. Paralysis is actually a severe form of windy disorders.

c. Saturn Ketu in any sign causes windy imbalance in the body. d. 3"d house rules hands and legs in general. In subtle analysis 3rd and 11th are both considered for right and left in order. Legs are generally considered from 11th and 12h houses of the horoscope.

In this particular case 3rd lord Venus is retrograde in the 8t house aspected by Saturn which is also carrying the influence of Ketu with him. Mars is also afflicting Venus. 3"d house is aspected by the 6* lord Sun and Ketu. 11house is occupied by Saturn and Ketu. Therefore he has a paralytic attack in the right side. His 10* house is hemmed between malefics. 10h lord Jupiter is posited in the 12t house afflicted by the dangerous 8th aspect of Mars. Therefore the victimization occurred at his youth. Example 54. Case of paralysis : DOB 8-2-1974, 13=10, Muzaffarpur, Bihar. Taurus Lagna, Gemini, Saturn, Ketu; Leo Moon; Sagittarius Rahu, Sat Ket Mar

Wrong treatment at the 7 9 Sun Rah hospital brought her sufferings. She can

(253)

walk and can also discharge her routine duties.

a. . Saturn Ketu in any sign produces windy disorders. Her Gemini and airy sign is vitiated with retrograde Saturn and Ketu. Other two airy signs, Libra is afflicted by Mars and Ketu and Aquarius is also afflicted by Ketu.

b. 3"ª, 7h 11 * houses of both Janma Lagna and Chandra Lagna are afflicted which generated windy imbalance her body.

c. Her 3rd lord Moon is heavily afflicted by Saturn and Rahu. 3"d house is aspected by Mars and 6h lord Venus, Sun and debilitated 8* lord Jupiter. 11 * house is aspected by Saturn. 11th lord Jupiter is debilitated and afflicted by 6h lord Venus. Saturn and Mercury are posited a few signs apart. So she had a paralytic attack at a very tender age on the right side. She was born in Apasavya group B 1" qtr. In this group benefic planets produce worst results. Her Deha = Cancer, Jeeva = Pisces. She was born with 1" cycle 58yr, . 0m-18d. Balance Capricorn opened only for 18 days. Sagittarius governed her for 10yrs. dasa of 8* lord brings only tragedies in life. Her 8th lord is Jupiter (a natural benefic planet) which is debilitated and combust. Dasa of such a planet triggered off the malady. KCD unfolds thé : dooms days of life very accurately.

ANAEMIA

Anaemia is the umbrella term for a variety of disorders characterized by the inability of red blood cells to carry sufficient oxygen. This may be due to an abnormality of low level of haemoglobin, the iron and protein based pigment in the blood. It is a condition where the amount of blood is less than normal. Its chief symptoms is paleness of skin, a wan of face, disinclination towards work of any kind, loss of appetite and a general lack of well being in order to understand its ramifications, a look at the composition of blood is essential. The blood consists, in

(254)

addition to the fluid, of corpuscles (white & Red), minute bodies of the size of eight thousand part of an inch. In the blood are also the various salts and proteins which nourish the tissues and also the waste products like uric acid must be removed from the body. The red corpuscles act as carriers of oxygen. Every millimetre of blood contains five million red blood corpuscles. The pus from a wound when examined under a microscope, will reveal the presence of millions of these dead warriors. Anaemia is caused by many factors, the chief among them being loss of blood due to injury, menstruation in excessive quantities, haemorrhage from piles, defective blood formation due to infections, toxins and drugs, inadequate intake and absorption of iron. Pregnant woman are predisposed to aneamia because of the demands of the growing baby and placenta. Example 55. A case of Anaemia & poor health : DOB 24-5-1959, 3=40AM, Delhi. Aries Lagna, Mercury, Taurus Sun; Gemini Venus; Cancer Mars, Virgo Rahu; Scorpio Jupiter, Moon; Sagittarius Saturn; Pisces Ketu.

This is the birth chart of a young Punjabi Sun Ket woman, school teacher by profession (MA Economies, B.Ed) who married a man 2 12 Ven 3 11 from Uttar Pradesh on 17-8-1983. Her Mer

mother died on 3.10.1990. Her father was Mar Ura 4 10 a commander in Navy and is now living in 7 Nep Delhi. She has an elder brother who is Plu 5 9 Sat living in Bombay. Her physical sufferings 6 8 Rah Jup Mon started from the child birth (she delivered a male baby on 27.10.1985). Currently she is suffering from anaemia, tonsillitis, weakness of the body, gets tired easily, allergic to medicines, stomach pain, headache, blockade of the right earetc.

Astrological factors of Anaemia: Assimilation of iron from blood is ruled by Mars. Red colour of the

(255)

blood due to red blood corpuscles and haemoglobin ruled by the sign Scorpio, Jupiter is the karaka planet of colouring blood, if Satum conjunct Jupiter, there are chances of embolism. Watery signs namely Cancer, Scorpion and Pisces rule the blood. 4/8/12th houses do the same. Mars and Moon are the karaka planets of blood. When watery signs, 4/8/12 houses, lord of these houses, Mars and Moon are weak, afflicted badly or badly situated etc. or when these houses and planets are conjoined with evil lords, anaemia may come into presence.

From chart 54 we find her 4th house of Janma Lagna is occupied by debilitated Mars. 8th house is occupied by malefic retrograde 12* lord Jupiter. 4th and 8h lords have exchanged places (4th lord in 8th provides unhappiness in life and the native suffers physically). 8 house is hemmed between Neptune and Saturn. 12t4 house is occupied by Ketu. Heavily afflicted Scorpion reduced the level of haemoglobin & red blood corpuscles in her body. If Mars is in the sign of Moon. i.e. in Cancer one will be troubled by various kinds of diseases including vitiation of blood and bile. It has been found by Mr. R. Santhanam (in his book Essentials of Predictive Hindu Astrology P 280) that Mars in Cancer aspected by Saturn cause one particular type of paralysis called Hemaplexia. Fortunately her Mars is not aspected by Saturn. So she is destined to suffer from various blood disorders. She is also suffering from headache. Aries is occupied (Aries is the head of the zodiac and is her Lagna) by the 6 lord Mercury and this house is hemmed between malefics, so she is suffering from headache. Where the lord of ,6* house is in the ascendant that is indicative of being afflicted by illness or opposition. 1 have seen another case, when the native's Virgo Lagna is occupied by 6h lord Saturn, his career has been ruined because of opposition. But where the 1" & 6th lord exchange place they lead to double tragic effect: If they are at the same time malefics themselves or are in the company of another malefic, the illness or the enmity of detractors would be more serious. In her case Lord of Lagna is debilitated and conjoined with malefic

(256)

Uranus and aspected by 12t lord Jupiter and Ketu. Her 7th house is afflicted by the 4* aspect of Mars on Neptune. Weak 4th lord multiplied her sufferings. So for all these astrological reasons, she is maintaining a poor health. Her 9th house is squared by Rahu-Ketu axis. 9thlord is in 8th and retrograde, these additional factors made her unlucky soul.

Control ofanaemia:

Boil tomatoes in an iron pot and drink this juice daily. Avoid spinach, chocolate, rhubarb, which hinder iron absorption. Oxalates prevent the absorption of iron in the body.

A throbbing pain of migraine, which typically occurs on one side of the head is often accompanied by nausea, vomiting and extreme sensitivity to sound and light,. A person feels sick all over. WHO ranks migraine among the most disabling ills. Migraines are now recognized to stem from neural changes in the brain and the releases of neuro inflammatory peptides that in turn constrict blood vessel. The headache starts before these vessels dilate headache. Afflict about 70% adults at i least occasionally and provoke millions in western countries each year to seek medical relief Most headaches are transient and due to tension or a temporary condition, such as cold or the flu, but some reflect a serious underlying problem. Recurrent headaches warrant medical attention to diagnose the type and determine the best treatment. Headache is a term which literally describes pain felt anywhere in the .head. It poses certainly the commonest, probably the most ambiguous and sometimes the most difficult clinical problem in medicine can be evoked from the venous sinuses, the arteries and the durra matter at the base of the brain. Displacement and distortion of these structures, particularly if rapid, cause headache. The 5t, 9h and 10t cranial nerves contain pain fibers and direct compression of these nerves produces pain. Pain in the head may be due to lesions in nearby structures, such as

(257)

the eye and ear, causing headache, it may be due to the cranial neuralgias, meningeal irritation, vascular disturbances, traction and distortion of internal structures or to psychogenic causes. Headache is perhaps the most frequent single complaint of modern times. One of the main causes is tension and muscle spasms in the neck, scalp and jaw. For this reason massaging or other wise relaxing the neck muscles can sometimes help relieve headaches. Migraine headaches are really severe tension headaches, the causes are entirely psychological (in medical term it is a vascular headache). Attacks last usually 20-60 minutes, but recur one or more times daily for days or weeks and then there is often a prolonged period of freedom. The pain is usual severe and burning. Primarily involves the frontal region and the eye but often spread to the face and sometimes to the neck. It occurs most commonly in young males. Many diseases have been linked with mental attitudes. Psychiatrists say that.migraine is definitely associated with hostility. They believe that for many of the illnesses arising out of tension, the victim has a deep seated desire to hurt someone or something around him or her and the headache is subsequent relation to this deep seated desire. Physical stress like lack of sleep, prolonged exertion with continuous bending and stooping, exposure to extreme of heat or cold could cause attacks of migraine. Certain types of food also cause headache, such as chocolates, paneer, fatty foods, alcohol, citrus fruits etc. These foods are containing triamine, which precipitates the migraine, Reserpine, which liberates 5 hydtoxytryptamine (serotinin) in the brain, can also cause migraine. Present day scientists believe that migraine is medicated by one or more biochemical disturbances.'

Astrological concept of headache (migraine): When headache begins, the brain flow increases to normal or above normal and in the scalp tissues where the headache is felt. It may be upto 50% above normal. There is therefore evidence to prove that some major blood circulatory disturbance occurs when migraine attacks commence. Arterial blood is controlled by Jupiter and Aries (Head of

(258)

Zodiac of Kala Purusha) is ruled by Mars.

1. lt is therefore plain that Jupiter and Mars together or in aspect to each other and afflicted simultaneously can cause disturbance in blood circulation in the head.

2. A planet posited in its own house affects Lagna. When this planet is afflicted, it brings headache.

3. When the sign Aries or Lagna is afflicted and is hemmed between malefics, one may get headache.

4. The Moon in Aries and Saturn in Cancer, Libra or Aquarius is sure sign of depressive headaches.

5. The Moon and Jupiter would be invariably afflicted by Saturn and possibly by other malefics in the cases of migraine or severe headache.

Cure of headache (Migraine): 1. Drink Coca-cola, Coffee or other caffeine products (limited amount) 2. Acute attacks of common migraine usually respond to soluble aspirin (600-900mg) or paracetamol (1g) with or without and antinauseant such as metaclopramide. If migraine attacks occur frequently enough to disrupt work and social life, then drug prophylaxis is justified. 3. A headache is usually the result of malfunctioning of intestine. See that you do not suffer from constipation, if you do, treat that condition first. Remove dental problems. Avoid livers of animals.

4. Some Yoga Exercises & Pranayama are need for controlling the mind. Pure mind can eliminate headache. Psychological methods of stress management are more helpful. 5. Gem Therapy : Ordinary headache Blue Sapphire, Tarquoise Headache with wind and acidity : Haqiq; Severe Migraine Ruby

(259)

is the best. Topaz+ Pearl may be suggested.

Example 56. A case of severe migraine : DOB 19-12-1960/ 00=30AM/Calcutta Birth Chart : Virgo Lagna; Scorpio Mercury, Sagittarius Sun, Moon, Jupiter, Saturn; Capricorn Venus, Aquarius Ketu; Gemini Mars (R); Leo, Rahu

The native is suffering from severe type of migraïne. on the onset of Moon's dasa (11t Nep T'a Rah Plu

lord's dasa) from July 1990 and is not 5 Mer 8 4 maintaining good health. He is unable to' Sat 6 do any work, although he looks apparently Sun Mon 9 3 Mar healthy. The astrological reasons for his Jup 12

migraine attack are as follows: Moon .

Ven 10 2 Jupiter & Sun are afflicted by the 6* lord 11

Saturn, Mars, Rahu Ketu axis. Lagna is Ket

severely afflicted by Mars & Rahu and 6th lord Saturn. The lagna is devoid of any benefic influence. Lord of Lagna Mercury has exchanged place with 3"d lord Mars. This Merucry is squared by Rahu-Ketu Axis. The evil influence on the hylegs (Lagna, Sun and Moon) ruined his health. Evil influence on the dasa of the 11th lord brings many setbacks in one's life.

Example 57. A case of migraine : 10.11.69/3=43AM/Delhi Birth' Chart : Virgo Jupiter, Lagna; Libra Mercury, Sun, Moon, Venus; Capricorn Mars; Aquarius Rahu; Aries Saturn, Leo Ketu

This is the birth chart of young Punjabi Mer Sun Mon man, whom I met in All India Astrological Ven 7 5 Seminar between 24-26* December 1993 Nep 8 4

at New Delhi. He suffered from severe Jup Ura Plu

migraine pain in 1992 Satum Moon dasa. 9 6 3

His intensity of suffering increased when 12

he took one Neelam as suggest by one Mar 10 2

astrologer. The astrological reasons of 11 1

Rah Sat migraine are as follows:

(260)

a. Blood circulation on controlled by the signs Leo & Aquarius. On account of this reason heart disease problems are judged from both Leo and Aquarius. Both these signs are afflicted by Rahu- Ketu axis. Sun provides oxygen to he blood and Moon controls its circulation. If 4/8*/12 houses of Janma Lagna, Sun, Moon, Leo and Aquarius are afflicted, one suffers from faulty blood circulation systerh. His Sun is afflicted by Saturn and so also the Moon. 4t house is a afflicted by Ketu, 4th lord is debilitated (180° from its own sign) & is hemmed between malefics, Ketu and 12th lord Sun; 8th house is occupied by Saturn aspecte by Mars; 12th house is spoiled by Ketu and 8t aspect of Mars. Therefore he has a faulty blood circulation system.

b. In case of severe type of migraine. Moon, the significator of blood is found to be afflicted by Saturn and other malefics. His Moon is afflicted by Saturn, 12th lord Sun and Rahu.

c. Any planet posited in its own sign afflicted by Saturn and other malefics produces migraine. His Venus is posited in its own sign Libra and is afflicted by Saturn, Rahu and 12 lord Sun.

d. Sign Aries & Lagna should be afflicted by malefics for severe migraine. His Lagna is hemmed between malefics and Saturn occupies Aries which is afflicted by Mars. Aries is the head of the zodiac.

e. According to Sri Sivaji Bhattacharjee (the TOA, Jan 1994 P 75) whenever Mercury is afflicted by Saturn or Rahu or by an afflicted Moon or when hemmed in between malefics in certain sensitive area of a horoscope, usually put such a native to suffer from insomnia, headache, a paining eye and sinus, grumpiness depression, frequent stomach pain and upset, indigestion, hyperacidity and some kinds of dermatological infections. 6th house of zodiac Virgo is hemmed between malefics, both Sun and Mercury, Karaka planets & bowels are afflicted, 6* house of

(261)

Chandra Lagna is hemmed between malefics. 6* house of Janma . Lagna is occupied by Rahu, so he has some weak digestion system. Afflicted Venus, debilitated 5th lord generated frustration in love affairs. His 7th house is hemmed between malefics. So all these unfortunate planetary configurations coupled with some peculiar psychological problems and Weak digestion system precipitated the severe migraine.

CONSTIPATION IS THE GRANDMOTHER OF ALL DISEASES

Overburdening of the stomach is the root cause of indigestion, which has to be avoided, after 40 yrs or so. The more light the food, the easier it is digested. Digestion starts the moment food enters the mouth: It mixes with the saliva and is more permeable for the gastric which exudes from the opening of the tiny glands of the stomach. The gastric juice consisting of pepsin and rennin breaks downs the proteins into smaller molecules. The gastric churning of the stomach mixes the food with the gastric juices and hydrochloric acid (HCI) and when it becomes soluble it passes through the pylorus, an orifice at the lower end of the stomach into the bowel. After it passes the intestine, the food is exposed to the action of bile, pancreatic juice, intestinal juice and bacteria. These juices contain many elements which break down the food into the final products like glycerin, which sustain the system. The indigestible residue, together with various substances which are waste matter, thrown out of the body in the stools. Constipation is a condition in which the bowels are opened too seldom or incompletely. The patient may pass infrequent and hard, dry stools, The main symptom is the desire to void the stools, but inability to do so. It is a common complaint and a large number of persons depend on laxatives and purgatives to clear their bowls. People take tea, coffee, cigarettes, cigars under the mistaken belief that it will help activate the bowels. Isobgul or Bran is helpful in the bowels to soften the stool, it draws water into the stool,

(262)

forms a gel like solution and thus provides bulk. It is not absorbed by the digestive track and is a natural product with no side effects. Indian chapattis with boiled mixed vegetables also prevents constipation. Take chaptti + palak paneer. You get relief within 24 hours.

Excretory substances are classified as carbonaceous if they contain carbon-dioxide, nitrogenous if they contain nitrogen carbon materials or mineral if salts are involved and water. Nitrogenous wastes, in particular, are highly toxic and must be quickly removed because they can rapidly accumulate in the blood and canse death. Carbon dioxide and water are the main waste products formed when carbohydrates, fats and proteins are broken down. In the case of proteins, there is always an additional waste product, used CO(NH2)2 which is carried to the kidney by blood for excretion. The name protein was introduced by Mulder (1839). The proteins are nitrogenous substance whose composition varies with the source. Carbon 47.50%, hydrogen 6-7% Oxygen 24- 25%, nitrogen 16-17%sulphur 0.2 0.3% other elements maybe iron and phosphorus. All enzymes and hormones are also proteins. A simple sugar may contain 40 atoms, simple fat has 180 atoms, a simple protein of meat has 10,000 atoms. They serve chiefly as growth and repair materials, but their other functions are many and various, including the multiplicity of enzymes and hormone reactions. The basic units of proteins are amino acids. These are linked together to form chain molecular or polymers, that make up proteins. The breakdown of proteins to amino acids is achieved by the addition of water. Besides food the body must contain certain salts, such as sodium, potassium, phosphorus, calcium, iodine, Sodium and potassium play an important role in the functioning of nerve and muscle fibres. Meat, cheese, eggs, milk and vegetables are all rich minerals. Once food has been broken down into constituents acceptable to the body, it moves throngh the intestinal walls and eventually into the blood, which all carries to all parts of the body. This is known as absorption. Part of any meal We eat is destined within a space of 3 days to become an integral.part of our bodies. In fact, due to continual breakdown and assembly of food

(263)

materials within the cells, every meal we eat charges our physical and. chemical make up slightly. A number of organs are involved in excretion in animals. 1. The liver excretes bile, which contains some waste products of the breakdown of hemoglobin.

2. The liver alsoexcretes urea, a nitrogenous waste.

3. A certain amount of material is excreted by the intestine in addition of fecal matter egested.

4. Some water is also lost by the intestine, but this water is egested rather than excreted.

5. The lungs deal with excess carbon dioxide and water, both being products of respiration within the cells and therefore at one time a part of the protoplasm.

6. The skin functions as an excretory organ by excreting via sweat glands some, 5-10% of all the nitrogenous waste that accumulates in the blood. The organs that specialize in excretion are the kidneys. They operated refined and complex high pressure filters, whose working is still not fully understood. Their main function is to regulate the water, minerals and food content of the blood. This is a vital requirement, for if chemical or physical balance of the blood is upset only very slightly, the functioning of the body is seriously impaired and death can easily result. The urine obtained from a mammal whose kidneys have been chilled contain a noticeably greater quantity of sugars and salts than is present in urine excreted under normal circumstances. The various excretory processes, and the functioning of the kidneys in particular, afford excellent examples of homeostatic, or control of body chemical balance.

Shits and Fibre diet : Salad and fresh fruits, pulses contain high fibre diet. A detailed comparison has been made of the shits of Africans who live in rural areas and who eat large quantities of high fibre food with

(264)

the shits of the average Europeans with his highly processed and refined food. It was found that the weight and size of the shit of the African was far greater and the smell was much less than that of the average Europeans. The transit time of the shit in the body of in the case of African was also far less than in the case of the European whose faecal matter might be in the colon for as long as two or three days as against the 24 hrs for an African. Actually one should pass his faecal matter daily in the morning without fail. Bowl cleaning is a must for a good health. Bigger and softer the shit is, the easier is it for the faecal matter to be propelled along the colon as against hard stools of the refined and processed diet. Big soft stool with their rapid transit time results in quick movement in the bowels and might prevent harmful bacteria from causing damage to the colon there just is not enough time for noxious bacteria to harm the colon. Cancer of the colon is the 2nd biggest type of cancer after cancer of the lung. In the USA alone, 70,000 new cases of colon cancer are reported every year. It is thought that the faecal matter lying in the colon for long periods and also the pressure in the colon might be the cause of cancer of the colon, especially as cancer of the colon is very rare in rural Africa where the transit'time of bowel movement is relatively more rapid. So it would appear that cancer and other serious types of diseases might be avoided by keeping high fibre diet. Constipation causes heaviness and headaches, lethargy loss of appetite, insomnia and apathy. As a matter of fact, any disease is an indication of malfunctioning of the machine that it the human body and costiveness is the GANDMOTHER of all ailments. The intestine, 8.5 to 9 meters long, is the form of one continuous tube suspended in loops in the abdominal cavity. At the lower end is the large intestine through which stools pass via the rectum. If the muscles of the large intestine lose their tone or strength, stools tend to adhere to its insides. Atony of the intestines can be cured by exercise. A walk in the morning or evening, better still jogging will help. Another way to help intestine to void the stool is to cool it. Take a rough towel, fold it so that it can absorb much water, and place it on your lower abdomen after

(265)

• immersing it in cold water. It should be done before one goes for a walk. Cooling and then warming it through exercise helps large intestines to regain its tone. Swimming for 15 minutes will Cure constipation. Take regularly germinated grams, lemon, fruits, curd, milk and leafy vegetables (like palak and cabbage). In case of chronic constipation use Softovac, an Ayurvedic medicine, 1 teaspoonful with warm water before bed time. In case of very severe constipation use softovac and Looz (Lactulose solution) for cleaning the bowel after each 15 days. It is not necessary to use Looz regularly. Some people suffer from constipation and other diseases because their intake of water is too insufficient. The water intake should be 4 to 5 liters in summer and 3 liters in winter. Drinking more fluids is not harmful. A glass of water after the morning immediately after waking up can help many cases of constipation. Softovac and Looz are available in any medicine shop in India. Patient suffering from amnesia (loss of memory), constant fatigue insomnia, incipient gout, asthma, indigestion, headache, lumbago and general weakness will be benefited by clearing their bowls regularly. Take excess palak panner or violet fruits or red water melon and check the colour of your shit. You should try to pass out the undigested portion of food within 24 hrs. in such cases, nobody suffers from any serious disease.

Let us try understand why there is constipation. Somehow, there is less water available in the stomach for the digestion, hence the stool sticks to the colon tube, and does not come out easily. The native suffers from flatulence. Excess gas generates in the stomach. The pressure applied in voiding a constipated bowel tends to distend the veins and around the inflamed condition of the veins around the lower end of the bowel, piles or haemorrhoids sets in. The piles become enlarged and red and give off a thin blood stained discharge. Allopathic treatment available in the world is the worst for constipation. This system depends more on surgery than drugs in the case of intractable piles, but even removal of he offending part does not give relief, since the likely to occur again. I have seen many persons die after operation. So nobody should go to

(266)

allopathic doctor for help in the case of piles. Fasting gives a relief. Take only lemon water, steam heated vegetables. Drink excess water. Take dry fruits, avoid cereals and pulses for seven days. You are cured. And a fasting patient should return to normal diet only gradually, to normal diet. Hot milk, germinated grams., salad, 4-5 liters of water, leafy vegetables, fruit juices, yogurt, dry 1-2 chapatti will keep anybody healthy even up to 85 yrs. No medicines are required. For a healthy life one should take 500 mg vitamin C daily through fruits and vegetables.

How to rise above mediocre level :

One should be health conscious, knowledge conscious and good personality conscious. Have sound education first. Knowledge speaks and wisdom listens. Ask your child to read 3 hrs a day. One should be passionate about what one does. It' just passion that makes you rise above mediocity and takes you towards excellence. Whatever happens,, you have to stick to your gut feeling and your core competence. If you waver from that you may have to suffer in a rot of mediocrity. Pranayam and other exercises will allow to enjoy perfect health. Avoid sleep in for lengthy hours. Do not allow the parasites to make nest at your stomach. keep the stomach light afterdischarging off all the wastes daily. Always drink boiled water, RO/Aqua guard water or famous brand bottled water Be sure you are drinking germ free water.

Bad breath and its cure :

One out of tenadults (male or female) has bad breath. The main cause of bad breath is undoubtedly a stomach upset; another cause mouth not being properly washed. Certain lung diseases such as bronchiectasis also cause bad breath. A very good thing to remember, however is normally never to breathe fully into the face of the person to whom you are speaking, it is usual safer to turn the face side ways when one is speaking, because very often one does not even know when one has bad breath. One should clean the tongue with a plastic/iron tongue washer for removing bad breath. Take saline gurgle and use clove and

(267)

cardamom after eating. Foul breathing persons will not be'liked by senior employers and friends. Develop a clean habit. Wash the mouth with water boiled with neem leaves, chewing betel leaves will also solve the problem,. Tulsi leaves are excellentfor removing bad breath. Astrological background : Waste material of the body is excreted by Mars,. When Mars is afflicted or weak one suffers from constipation. The author has Mars in the 3rd house in Pisces, which is aspected by the 8t lord from Virgo. He is suffering from this dangerous disease since his boyhood days. Use copper ring for relief (Astrology applied by Dr. S.S. Chartterjee P 177). Urine is excreted from the body by Moon and Mars. LEUCODERMA

The body is composed of a number of organs. About 2 square meter of the human body is covered with an elastic membrane is known as skin. Is proper functioning in its action as secretory, excretory and heat regulating organ, as a protection for the deeper structures and for appreciation of sensation as heat. Cold, pressure and pain, is necessary for health. The main functions of the skin are a) Protection of the underlying structures. b) Appreciation of tactile and thermal sensations c) Control of body temperature d) Secretion e)An imunological agent f) Excretion of waste products of blood through perspiration g) An agent for supply of Vitamin D through the effect of sunlight. Leucoderma is the condition of the skin where it loses pigment, which is called melanin in some parts of the body. It is a deficiency syndrome due to unhygienic eating habits and is not contagious. It may be cured in the early stages with precaution of dieting. A strong and well placed Mercury is always headway for a shining, healthier and more youthful skin and brilliant appearance. Mercury governs the health of skin, the single largest organ of the body. Naturally all ailments relating to liver, abdomen, nervous system, hormonal function, cerebrospinal nervous systems and cerebellum will appear to show their symptoms on the skin first or any malady relating

(268)

to skin has its deep rooted rapport with the inner organic function of the body. So skip has its raft similitude with a mirror which reflects physical well being and acts our health index in sounding timely alarm well in advance to take needed prophylactic care. Any change of pigmentation red or violet spot, itching, formation of bages, wrinkle, pimple, rush boils and frequent uneven while patches, shrinkage, recoilation, bristle, and regular erosion of cuticle are the signs of abnormality of organic function inside the body and symbols of certain forth coming disease. An ill placed or an afflicted Mercury always leads to rush or boil and apt the native easily susceptible to bacterial and fungal infections itch, eczema, wrinkle, uneven contraction with streak or stripe all over the skin making the native unhealthy in appearance and conduces premature aging. Venus controls body lustre. So afflicted Venus and afflicted Mercury will enforce premature aging. Whenever Mercury is afflicted by Saturn or Rahu or by an afflicted Moon or when hemmed in between malefics in certain sensitive area of the horoscope, usually puts such native to suffer from insomnia, headache, a paining eye and sinus, grumpiness depression, frequent stomach' pain, indigestion, hyper acidity and some kinds of dermatological infections. When both Mercury and the Moon are afflicted in an odd house may create `strife, nervous disorder, frenzy mood, loss of sleep, melancholia, phobia, mania, chronic trouble of stomach and even madness in certain cases. Astrologically Lagna and its lord represents the whole body i.e. skin. If Lagna lord conjoin Mercury Mars or Moon in any sign or house and aspected by Rahu/Ketu the native suffers from chronic skin disease. According to Ayurveda, the skin diseases are caused by excess of Pitta (bile) and tridosha in the blood. Sun and Mars indicate bile, Sun is the significator of lagna and Mars is the head of the Zodiac (Kalpurush), Aries. So they are capable to causing skin disease. Mercury and Jupiter are the lords of tridosha (being the ruler of common signs). Moon and Mars are the significators of blood: Venus and Moon are watery planets and indicate flowing of blood in the body. The skin disease are caused by the impurities in the blood. So

(269)

ascendant, its lord, Sun, Moon, Mars and Venus are afflicted in any house by Saturn/Rahu/Ketu one suffers from some skin diseases. When Mercury/or Jupiter is also involved, some chronic skin disease is caused. As skin diseases are caused by Toxic matter or impurities in blood, so watery signs Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces are also involved. Any affliction to Sun/or Mars or their weakness causes skin diseases.

Aphorisms of Leucoderma: BPHS has the following specifying different types of kustha (Leprosy) including S weta Kustha or Leucoderma:

लग्नाधिपौ कुजबुधौ चन्द्रेण यदि संयुतौ। राहुणा शनिना सार्द्ध कुष्ठं तत्र विनिर्दिशेत। लग्नाधिपं बिना लग्ने स्थितष्चेत्तमशा शशी। श्वेतकुष्ठं तदा कृष्ण कुष्टं चं शनिना सह।। कुजेन रक्तकुष्ठं स्यातद्देवं विचारयेत्। Leprosy can manifest if Mars or Mercury being the Ascendant lord and Moon are afflicted by Rahu and Saturn. Moon in the Ascendant (other than Cancer) associated with Rahu can give risk to sweta-kustha or Leucoderma. Saturn in place of Rahu may cause Krishna Kustha while , Mars under similar condition would bring in Rakta kustha. We find ' from here that Moon, Mercury and Rahu are perhaps the basic participants for materialization of Leucoderma. Rakta-kustha is certainly a leprosy whereas Krishna kustha can be either a dreaded from of leprosy or a chronic cause of violent eczema depending upon the degree of affliction.

1. According to Jataka-Tatwa चन्द्राच्छौ सपापौ जलभगौ fa$t। Moon and Venus in watery sign afflicted by malefics can cause Leucoderma.

2. If Moon be in the 4* house aspected by Ketu, Venus or Mars in karakamsa chart, Leucoderma occurs.

(270)

3. Cancer, Capricorn karakma Ascendant aspected by malefics do the same thing.

4. The ascendant lord conjunct Mercury along with Rahu or Ketu.

5. The Moon in Ascendant, Sun in 7h, Saturn Mars in the 2nd or 12th house.

6. The ascendant lord in the 8th house, afflicted by malefics.

7. Moon Venus in the 8h house, afflicted by malefics.

8. Sun Saturn Mars combination anywhere in the birth chart.

9. Saturn Moon conjunct in the 6 house

10. Saturn Mars Moon in Aries or Taurus can lead to Leucoderma.

11. The Sun is watery signs or with Venus usually leads to psoriasis and or white patches. Mars and Ketu or Rahu, afflicted Lagna or Venus in Scorpio and Pisces as also Cancer gives leucodermic patches Example 58. Cure of Leucoderma : 21-1-93/9:01 AM/Noida. Aquarius Venus; Taurus. Ketu; Gemini Mars (R); Virgo' Jupiter; Scorpio Rahu; Sagittarius Moon; Capricorn Saturn, Sun, Mercury.

I made a forecast that the boy would suffer from Leucoderma in 1993. He is the son of Mer Sun Sat

a prosperous IIT Engineer. Leucoderma 12 10 Mon 9 Ura appeared on his face in July 05 as per my 1 Ven Nep forecast during Sun Rahu dasa. But by Ket 2 using Photoban 15, an allopathic drug he 8 Plu Rah 5 was cured completely in.May 06. Here 7 Sun is afflicted in both Rasi and Navamsa. Mar 3 .4 6

Sun is the 7th lord and hence a marakesh Jup

planet .. In almost 90% cases, the native suffers in Sun's mahadasa. Marriages should not be performed during Sun's Mahadasa. Jupiter provides recovery power. Fortunately this planet is exalted in his navamsa. Saturn is his Atmakaraka planet and

(271)

Leo is the Karakamsa Lagna. Rahu is placed in the 4* house, and afflicted Mercury in the 6th house in Karakamsa. His Mercury is in the 12h house, afflicted by Sun, Saturn and Mars, which produced white spots on his face. Example 59. Leucoderma of an advocate : DOB 6-9-1936/ 13=40hrs/Rahu Sagittarius Rahu, Lagna; Aquarius Saturn (R); Aries Moon; Gemini Ketu; Cancer Mars; Leo Sun; Virgo Venus, Mercury; Scorpio Jupiter. He is a very prosperous man of the society, but very sad for his son. His eldest Jup

child, a daughter got married with an 10 8

executive of NTPC. Son is also lawyer, Sat 11 7 Rah 9 but kicked his aged parents out of the 12 6 Ven house, constructed by the above native. 3 Mer Such is the destiny pattern. If the lord of 5t Ket Ura Nep

house is located in 6/7th/12th house and is I 5 [Mon 2 4 Sun Plu Mar aspected by the lord of Lagna and also by Mars and Rahu, the son is opposed to the father. His 5th lord is debilitated and in the 8th house and is aspectd by Lagnesh Jupiter. So we are not surprised to observe his ordeals in real life. He was attacked with Leucoderma on lips in 1988 (Jupiter Sun dasa between 25-1-88 to 13-11-88). Sun and Jupiter is exact square positions brought the tragedy in life. Mutual square position of planets invariably bring set backs in life (Advanced Predictive Astrology, Vol 2 by Dr. S.S. Chatterjee). Mars is hemmed between malefics, produced excess bile. Ketu occupies the house of Mercury and Mercury is in conjunction with debilitated Venus, squared by Rahu Ketu axis. Mercury is posited in 8* lord Moon's star. Highly afflicted mercury produced severe type of Leucoderma. In 2004, I found his 80% of body is covered by irregular white patches. His Jupiter is debilitated in Navamsa and hence Jupiter Sun dasa produced the Sweta-Kustha to him. Excess bile secretions accelerated the attack. Weak Venus snatched away the body lustre.

(272)

Example 60 Leucoderma started in the dasa of 8"h lord : DOB4-6-68/7=57 PM/Burdwan, WB; Sagittarius Lagna; Pisces Saturn, Rahu; Taurus Sun, Venus, Mars; Gemini Mercury Leo Jupiter, Moon; Virgo Ketu.

occupies the house of Mercury. 8th lord Ven Sun Mar Moon is aspected by Mars, which is placed in the 6th lord's star. As soon as the dasa of 8th lord started, Leucoderma attacked her legs through socks, because Pisces is heavily afflicted by Saturn and Rahu. Her disease is restricted in.the abdomen region through Homoeopathy Treatment. She got married on 17-6- 1992 during Mars-Moon dasa. Saturn Rahu in the 81h house of Jupiter reduced her recover powery. Afflicted Mercury, Venus, Sun, Mars, Pisces sign brought the dangerous disease to her.

very much afraid of Rahu, on account of 8 this reason Mercury Rahu or Rahu Plu 4 5 7 Nep Sat Mercury dasa brings disasters in life. His

(273)

tragedy in life started Sun-Jupiter dasa in the end of 1969, when he was just 16 yrs old. I have already mentioned Sun's .dasa is bad for 90% persons on this earth. Sun is his 6th lord, the ruler of diseases. Jupiter is spoiled by the placement of Mars and Rahu in the 8t house of Jupiter. Weak Venus (body lustre), weak Mercury afflicted Mars (produced excess bile), weak Pisces sign, weak Jupiter brought Leucoderma on the face and fingers. Since Venus is exalted and vangottam, only 10% of his skin are affected by this dangerous disease. When the malefic planets occupy 1", 6th, 8th or 12th house in the birth chart, they reate a deficiency or excess causing various diseases, First house is occupied by 6th/8th lords afflicted by Mars and Squared by Rahu-Ketu axis, Saturn occupies the 8th house. His 6th/8th/12th lords are afflicted, which precipitated in the form of Leucoderma. It is a punishment, bestowed by God to a human being. Mars, Saturn and the Moon cause most of the diseases. Mars in Libra make a man too much virulent like a mad dog and gives serious and chronic ailments like mental retardation, paralysis, madness, etc. A very strong Mars makes a native very strong and the native rises very high in life.

VISION DEFECT

God has provided eyes just beneath the forehead, nose occupies the space between.the eyes. For enjoying the beauty of nature, the sky, the' sea, the mountains, thousands of varieties of animals, for guarding against enemies, we need eyes. The eyes provide power to educate himself about his surroundings and helps to gain trernendous knowledge by reading books. Good looking big eyes add beauty of the face. All the good looking attractive females have broad eyes. Without eyes the world becomes shrouded in darkness and life becomes a cupful of sorrows. Inside the eye is a lens, which focuses light on to particularly sensitive part of the retina. In a camera, the focusing is arrived by moving the lens forward or backwards. In the eye, this is made possible by a change in the shape of the lens, an operation known as accommodation. The upper and lower eyelids lubricate, warm and

(274)

cleanse the surface of the eye by sluicing it with lachrymal fluid during involuntary blinking. Tear fluid keeps the eye surface moist and clear of debris, and it is also antiseptic, thus inhibiting the action of bacteria. In very cold weather the tear fluid is produced copiously in order to insulate the eye. At the back of the eye is the light receptive area, the retina, which is made up of a number of layers of nervous fibres, tissue and two types of photoreceptors, rods and cones, so named because of their shapes. The cones are colour receptive and are thought to be mainly responsive to the primary light colours of red, green and blue. The rods are more sensitive to dim light and are arranged around the periphery of the retina. In all there are some 230 million rods and seven million cones, the latter being concentrated in a disc little more than 3/16t of an inch in diameter known as the forea, centralis. Due to the manner of development of the eye in the embroyo, the retina is inverted, with the rods and cones at the back of the retina behind six distinct layers of neurons approximately a millimeter in thickness. Light has to pass though these layers in order to reach the rods and cones. There are six types of eye defect a) Hypermetropia (Long .Focal) or Farsightedness. It is a defect that causes the lens to focus at the point behind the retina instead of focusing on it. Persons who are far signted can see object at the distance but find it difficult to see nearby objects cleanly. Thus hypermetropia may also be referred to as "long focal" sight. The defect may be due to a number of causes, the eyeball may be too short, the lens too thin, or there may be the much tension on the suspensary ligaments. The defect is overcome by placing a convex lens in front of the eye. The additional lenses increases the magnification of the focusing system and reduces the focal length so that the image coincides with the retina. b) Myopia or near sightedness, is the result of light focused at a point in front of the retina this "shot focal" sight is usually due to an eyeball that is too long. It may also be caused by inability of the ciliary muscle to relax completely and thus maximum pull is exerted on the lens via the ligaments. Treatment consists of changing the eye lens system by placing a concave lens in

(275)

front of the eye. By this means the light rays converge on the retina. c) Astigmatism It has been estimated that 9 out of 10 people suffer from degree or other of astigmatism, a blurring of the image at certain points due to slight imperfections in the cornea, which distorts the light rays as they pass through it. Vision is sharpened by placing in front of the eye a lens specially shaped to compensate for the unequal curvature of the cornea. d) Glaucoma the leading cause of total blindness is due to severe Glaucoma. It begins as a gradual painless process whereby the humours within the eye are unable to drain through tiny canals in the choroid. As a result, pressure steadily builds up until eventually, the nerves in the retina are damaged. e) Cataract : in advancing age, the lens may become opaque or cloudy, preventing some of the light from reaching the retina. The treatment for cataract consists of removing the lens and replacing it with a powerful eye glass or contact lens. f) Presbyopia Another defect that comes with advancing age is presbyopia, a condition caused by a loss of elasticity of the lens and a consequent loss in the ability to accommodate. This defect can be overcome by wearing glasses.

Astrological background: Taurus is the 2nd house of the zodiac and Pisces is the 12h house. Right eye is controlled by the 2nd house and Taurus, left eye is controlled by the 12th house and Pisces. In the case of ladies 2nd house is left eye and 12h house is the right eye. I have examined thousands of horoscopes and found truth in the prophecy of our sages. Sun and Moon are the giver of light in our eyes. Sun controls right eye and Moon controls left eye. The overall incharge of eyes is Venus. When the 2nd/12th house, their lords and the significators Sun, Moon and Venus are afflicted or badly placed, it causes eye trouble, loss of sight, ulcer in eyes etc. Rahu rules over cataract in the eyes. The malefic planets Mars, Saturn, Rahu and Ketu in the 2"d/12th cause eye trouble according to their inherent nature. Mars causes damages to eyes though injury, bums, inflammatory causes. Satum a dark and restrictive planet cause weak

(276)

eyesight, myopic vision and long lasting eye trouble. In the case of Rahu there is degeneration of the eye and disease is difficult to diagnose. White pearl (the Gem for Moon) improves eyesight and Ruby (the Gem for Sun) strengthens the eyes. Sun in the 81/12t house harms the right eye and Moon in the 12thouse harms the right eye. One has graceful eyes and possess good eyesight when 2"d, 12th,6th and the 8th houses are associated with benefics and their lords are bereft of malefic influences. Afflicted Sun in Lagna causes eye trouble. Afflicted Sun in Leo causes night blindness. Saturn and Mars jointly posited in the end or 12t house cause eye injury leading to blindness, provided Venus is afflicted and weak. I have seen many cases where the native has Saturn and Mars in the 12th house, but has no problem in the eyes, because of strong Venus, or strong Moon, or Strong Sun. Malefics in the 2n4, 6th, 8th and 12"house from lagna, the Sun bring eye disease.

Aphorisms of eye disease :

1. The location of Sun and Moon in the 12t or 2nd house afflicted by malefics diminishes eyesight. The same is the result when *Sun and the Moon are weak and aspected by malefics.

2. Affliction of Mercury in 2n4/6th/8th/12th causes eye trouble and sharp decline in eye sight.

3. Malefics in 20d/12th aspected by Saturn weakens eye signt.

4. Weak Moon in 81h house aspected by strong Saturn inflicts severe eye disease. Mer Mar Ven 5. If many planets be in the 2nd house 5 3 Sun aspected by Saturn, they may cause 6 2 Jup Rah Sat defect in the eye sight. We shall study a few case histories. Mon 7 4 1 10 Example 62.

(277)

Ketu; Taurus Sun, Jupiter, Saturn; Gemini Mercury, Venus, Mars.

He opened his life with Jupiter's dasa, which is debilitated in Navmsa and is conjoined with Saturn, Ketu. The dasa of such a planet cannot be good. Jupiter Moon dasa in 6/8 relationships, forced him to wear specks. Sun is afflicted by Saturn, Moon is squared by Rahu Ketu axis. Venus has conjoined Mars. Both 2nd/12" lords are afflicted. So all these unfortunate yogas forced him to use specks while he is minor kid. Lagna is devoid of any benefic influence.

Example 63: Detached eye retina :. Right eye blindness : DOB 2-3-2001/6-45 PM/Delhi : . Leo Lagna; Scorpio Mars; Sagittarius Ketu; Capricorn, Mercury; Aquarius Sun; Pisces, Venus;

His Moon is Apasaya group A, lst quarter. 1s cycle 47y-8m=26d. He opened his life with Taurus 12d-8m-26d. In Apasaya 4 6 diagram dasa of a benefic planet will be Mar 7 3 Rah

poor. His Deha = Cancer, Jeeva - 5 Mar Plu 8 Sat Sagittarius. Deha and Jeeva signs in 6/8 2 Jup

positions provides a chequered career and Mon Sun a stormy and abruptly ending of life. Deha Ket 9 1

and Jeeva lords should not be associated in 10 12 Nep Mer Ven any manner. If they are conjoined together Ura

or exchange aspects, a great calamity in life is sure to follow. Unfortunately Deha and Jeeva lords have conjoined together in Taurus. An unsuccessful operation took place in USA when he was 3 months old. Dasa lord of Taurus, Venus has moved to 11 house from its natal position and is squared by Rahu-Ketu axis. Planets in the.11th house or the dasa of 11th lord produces severe diseases. Taurus is afflicted by 6/8h/12th lords. So we are not surprised that the dasa of malefic Taurus ruined his right eye while he was only 3 month old. Sun is afflicted by Mars, 2"d lord Mercury is placed in the 6th house hemmed between maleics 12th lord is exalted and is in Gaja Keshri Yoga with Jupiter. God saved his left eye. His Venus though exalted is squared by Rahu Ketu

(278)

axis and Venus is placed in the 8* house. As per Vimsotteri dasa Moon- Rahu dasa in 2/12 relationship snatched away vision from the right eye.

Example 64. Glaucoma disease : DOB 17-6-37, 15=20PM,Calcutta: died on Dec 30,2003. Libra Mars, Lagna; Scorpio Rahu; Capricorn Jupter; Pisces Saturn; Aries Venus; Taurus Ketu, Mercury; Gemini Sun; Virgo Moon.

He was the principal of a degree college in Mon Bengal. He suffered from eye disease Rah

very much afraid of blindness from 1 Ven glaucoma and died in Dec,. 2003, during 11 3 Sun

Mercury Venus dasa on account of 12 2 Sat Ket Mer sudden and unexpected heart failure. Mercury in 8h, Venus in 7th hemmed between malefics became his killer planets. His Venus is aspected by Mars, hemmed between malefics. Moon is aspected by Saturn. Sun is free from affliction. Which helped him to avoid total blindness. 2nd house has Rahu, 2nd lord is in Lagna, 12th lord Mercury is heavily afflicted. So all these unfortunate yogasa precipitated in his eye disorders.

encouraging. Her Taurus is heavily afflicted by Mars, Saturn, Rahu. In Apasarya diagram dasa of benefic planets produce worst results. Her Taurus dasa at birth made her totally blind very silently. She was bom as the eldest daughter of a medical doctor (M.S.) of Metro Hospital, Noida. In 2004, the entire family migrated to New Zealand. Twin female babies were born; but the other child died at the time of birth. After about 8 months, her parents realised that their baby is blind from birth. The right eye is judged from the 2nd house and Sun, while the left eye is judged from .12" house and Moon. Her Sun and Moon are squared by Rahu Ketu axis. Rahu in the 10th house and Ketu in the 4* house, sometimes brings too much miseries for the native. Slowly they begin to surrender themselves completely to the unknown universal sprit. God only writes sad episode about a person, when Jupiter is too much afflicted. Her lord Lagna/4th lord Jupiter is squared by Rahu- Ketua axis, Mars and Saturn are throwing deadly combined influence oh Jupiter. Aspect of 8t lord Moon on Lagna and its lord is reducing per personality. Satum in the 4th house causes spleen disorders and loss of eye sight (TOA, Sept 1993 P 6) 5/9th lords in 2/12 relationships speaks about her sufferings in life. Afflicted Sun, Moon, Venus, 2ªd house, 12th house made her blind since birth.

IMPOTENCY

Impotency is a curse in human life. The married life will be ruined if impotency catches the native at a young age. With advanced age, sex urge decreases. For creating a baby one has enter the penis into an opening in the female called vagina. Each Ascendant denotes different sex urges. Aries, Leo, Sagittarius are highly energetic and are oversexed. Taurus, Virgo, Capricorn are sober in sex behaviour. Gemini, Libra (oversexed), Aquarius have secret liking for sex but hide their feelings. Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces are not very sex oriented. The size of penis varies from 4"-10" inch. Vaginal canal also varies from 4"-10" inch. Elephant woman has the longest passage. 8th house indicates size of a male organ. If Sun is in the 8th he will be passionate

(280)

feelings about sex Moon interest in sex depends on mood, Mars Sex life become very important, Jupiter principled sex life. Mercury Interest in sex on arousal of emotions by others. Venus Oversexed, Saturn Sexual but inferiority complex and frigid out looks. Mars Venus combination in 2nd/4th/7h/8t/12 makes a lady oversexed. Venus in Aries/Scorpio makes the female native passionate in nature. If Rahu or Mars conjoins Venus in Mars signs the lady becomes nymphomaniac. She prefers hundreds of boy friends. The same thing appears in the house of Venus. When malefic occupy 3 quadrants, the native will be animal like in sex acts. The sex organ of the male are composed of the testes, for the formation of sperms (Seeds), the penis and the associated glands and ducts inside the body. The testes are paired and supported outside the body as testicles in scrotal sacs. In fish, frogs, reptiles, birds and most mammals, the testes remain within the body as do ovaries of rthe female. The reason for external testes in man and in some other animals is that their testes require a temperature slightly below that of the body for the formation of sperm. The mammalian penis is normally flaccid. Prior to copulation, the penis become erect or rigid, thus making it possible to complete the reproductive act. Erection is accomplished by means of spongy tissue that is well supplied with blood vessels when the blood enters the tissue, the penis becomes turgid and erection is maintained because the veins leading blood away from the engorged tissue contract and prevent the blood from leaving. During copulation, a series of spasmodic muscular contractions, combined with peristaltic movements within the scrotal sac and along the epididymis, force sperm and seminal fluid through the narrow urethral opening in the glans penis. Stimulation of the sensory cells in the sensitive glans penis produces the reflex actions that initiate forceful ejection of sperm into the reproductive canal of the female mammal.

Astrological background :

Venus rules the sex life of a male (Mars in the case of females) 7th house/Venus rules the semen. Libra is the seat of the same. All these

(281)

govern the sex life, semen and marital happiness. When Libra, 7th house, lord 7* and Venus are weak afflicted and badly situated, impotency may be seen. Mercury and Saturn are two impotent planets. Any connection of these two impotent planets, when they are malefics, with the above houses and planets is not good. Afflicted Mars, means a bad married life in the case of females. (Venus for males)

Aphorisms of impotency and sterility:

1. Moon and Venus afflicted by Saturn or nodes.

2. Mercury, Saturn in 8th

3. Moon or Mercury in 8th and Moon under papakartari yoga.

4. Saturn in 6th or 12th in a watery sign, and devoid of benefic aspects, the native will be eunuch.

5. Weak and powerless Moon in 7th house.

6. 7th lord in 6th with Venus.

7. Saturn in 6/8 house from Venus causes impotency.

8. Serious afflictions on the 9th house cause impotency. 7 lord should also be afflicted.

Example 66. Case of Impotency : DOB 23.2.1980, 21=58 hrs, Delhi. Libra Lagna; Aquarius Ketu, Saturn, Sun; Pisces Venus; Taurus Moon; Leo Mars (R), Jupiter (R), Rahu; Virgo Saturn (R)

When there is either retrograde Saturn or retrograde Mars in the 12" house, the Ura Nep Plu Sat

native spins like a wheel. His 12t lord 8 6 Mar 5 Jup Mercury and 5th lord Saturn have 9 Rah 7 exchanged places. Libra is aspected by 10 4 Ketu, 7th house is aspected by Rahu, 7th 1

lord is afflicted by 6th lord Jupiter (R) and Ket 3 Rahu, Venus is placed in 6th in direct Mer11 Sun 12 2

opposition to Venus. These inauspicious Ven Mon

(282)

planetary configuration generated impotency during Rahu Moon dasa in 2006. When 6* lord is retrograde and its angles are occupied by malefics such a native suffers from many litigations in life. Rahu and Mars are conjoined with 6th lord Jupiter. Exchange of 5th lord with 12th lord has generated Dainya yoga. The people born in Dainya Yoga (See Astrology Nectar P 33 by Dr. S. S. Chatterjee) will be wicked and mean minded and will commit sinful acts. They will suffer at the hands of their enemies (or diseases) and speak harshly. They do not have balance of mind. There will be several impediments to all their undertakings. Prophecies of sages came true in his life. He is pulled down by the dreaded enemy impotency. Example 67. No sex with wife : DOB 3-4-1966, 4=30 PM, Delhi. Leo Lagna, Moon, Pluto, Uranus; Scorpio Ketu; Aquarius Saturn, Venus, Mercury (R); Pisces Mars, Sun; Taurus Rahu; Gemini Jupiter.

This is the horoscope of an impotent man who got married in Feb 1994(Mars Ketu 4 dasa) as per the wishes of his parents. He 6

never disclosed about his impotency to Nep 7 3 Jup Mon Ura

anybody before marriage. When Plu Ket 8 5 2 Rah yogakaraka of any Lagna is placed in 11 6th/8/12t house, such a native entertains Sat Mer Ven 1 destructive thinking. Sun, Mars aspected 9 10 12

by Ketu in 81h house produced only Mar Sun

scandals and defarmation for him. 7th lord Saturn has conjoined with retrograde Mercury in 7th. 7th house and Venus are squared by Rahu Ketu axis. Libra is aspected by deadly 8th lord, weak Venus, and their contact with impotent planet, made the native impotent. We are astonished to observe the wisdom of our sages. The couple met me in 11-01-1997 for solution. He also suffers from frequent stomach unsets and pains in the stomach. Afflicted Mercury with 6th lord produced crams in stomach. Rahu-Ketu in the angle of.6th lord produced litigations in life. If there is any benefic planet in the 11th house, the native gets relief from litigations. Jupiter in 11th did not allow

(283)

his wife to abandon him. Ruby, Pearl and red coral suggested by me provided some relief to the couple. Mars and Moon are the significators of blood. When blood enters the spongy tissue on the penis, it become rigid and straight. So strong Mars and strong Moon with the help of Gems Therapy helped the couple immensely. Pain management (Slipped disc and backache): Buried in the skin, in muscle, and in the various tissue and organs of the human body, are sensory receptors of many kinds. These in the outer parts of the body are receiving information about the outside world are referred too an exteroceptors, those within the body and receiving information about the interior of body are interoceptors. All the various types of receptors are alive in that they translate stimulates of sarne kind into electro-chemical nerve impulses. The simplest type of receptor is the one for pain, since it consists merely of fine branches radiating from nerve endings. It is estimated that there are some three million pain receptors in the skin and a further million scattered elsewhere in the body. In a few areas of the body such as cheek and back of the neck, there are very few pain receptors. There are no pain receptors in the brain itself. Pains and aches do arise in muscles for a variety of reasons; they also may appear to arise in muscles, when in fact, they originate/ elsewhere. Pain in a joint in the spine, for instance, may be referred to muscles nearby or sometimes same distance away. Back pain and slipped disc are now becoming more or more common. It is a disease mainly in the spinal column. The backbone is a column of 25 bony units, the vertebrae balanced on top of each other. Jointed together by bony processes and ligaments and separated by shock absorbers, the "discs" is or in the plumber's language, the washers. Running through the center of backbone from the brain to the pelvis is the spinal cord, a length of sensitive nerves. The spinal cord runs like a thick snake of bones to different muscles, joints, many organs and other tissues, it has to serve. The ligaments and other structures running from bone to bone in the spinal column and well supplied with nerves are exceptionally sensitive to stretching pressure and tearing. The spinal cord is an

(284)

extension of central nervous system (CNS) which consists of brain and spinal coard. It begains at the bottom of the brain steam and ends in the lower back. A slipped disc is caused when the padding of thick fibre between the various vertebrae the separate bones of the spine gets out of place and the bones themselves rub against each other, this padding is popularly known as disc. When this happens, that is when the disc has slipped from its position and the bones rub against each other, the pain is excruciating. The common causes a) Stress b) Faulty posture c) Injuries or sprains d) Degenerative changes. A very high percentage of pain at the back of neck and shoulders and also low backaches are due to tension. Some people get a backache whenever they have to face a difficult problem. Faulty postures often lead to a backache and so do extra soft mattresses. Sitting in a car for hours or Over-comfortable, soft, padded executive chairs and sofas. When one lifts heavy objects such as gas cylinder slipped disc may be there. Never carry big suitcases after 40, hire a coolie for doing your job. The different terms used regarding lesions related to spine are: Spondylosis, Osteoarthrosis, Osteroarthritis, Osteoporosis etc.

How to avoid slipped disc and backache:

1. The best way to prevent a backache and a slipped disc is to do exercises which strengthen the back. Walking is a useful exercise to keep the back in trim as it exercises the back muscles. Another good exercise is to sit on one's heels with one's back as straight as possible and then to stand upright and come down again on one's heels. This exercise should be done about 15 times a day; it is excellent for strengthening to back.

2. a) Boil garlic with mustered oil till the garlic becomes brown. Rub this at the back to provide you a positive result b) Use a heating pad or hot water bottle to ease the pain. Your can also try a cold compress with on ice pack to get some relief c) Garlic is a great remedy for backache. Having two or three cloves of garlic every morning may give you the required result d) Drink tea

(285)

mixed with pepper, cloves and ginger twice a day e) Massaging eucalyptus oil or mustard oil is also very god for backache problem f) Make a concoction by boiling 20-30 Tulsi leave in one cup of water. Keep boiling till the water is reducing to half. Once this mixture is cooled add salt and consume it everyday. If suffering from severe backache, have it twice a day g) Mix half a gram of cinnamon powder to one teaspoon honey and eat this mixture at least twice a day for best results h) Another way to reduce acute lower back problem is to get a good number of laps in a warm pool of water i) Taking aspirin with cola can remove backache, headache etc. caffeine is the stimulant in coffee, tea chocolate and soft drinks (Pepsi, Coca cola etc). Anacin, Bayer select, 500 mg acetaminophen; Excredin, 500 mg are popular- painkillers. Chocolates are also excellent, it prevents heart attack also.

Astrological Background : Rahu and Saturn are well known for lingering the disease and pains. These are initiator of diseases. Overall nervous system of the body is controlled by Saturn, peripheral nervous system is controlled by Mercury. Strong lord of Lagna, Jupiter, Sun and Moon will provide terrible resistance for fighting away disease. 8 house is the house of. immunity. The planetary positions that cause spinal arthritis are also responsive for these sciatica pains in the body. The term sciatica is loosely used for any aches or pains running one leg from the back to buttocks. This happens due to pressure on the nerves or irritation often by slipped disc. The sciatica nerve is the longest nerve in the body and its branches serve most part of legs. Damage to the lumbar disc and degenerative change in the lumber spine are the main causes. The spine is ruled by the sign Leo, the Sun and Neptune, and to an extent by Venus. Now we shall study a case history of sciatica pain. Taurus and 2nd house rule the right leg, Pisces and 12" house govern the left leg.

Example 68. Severe sciatica pain running down left leg from the

(286)

buttock : DOB 30/31-3-1949/5=26 AM/ Howrah. Pisces Lagna, Mars, Sun, Mercury, Venus; Aries Rahu, Moon; Gemini Uranus; Cancer Pluto; Leo Saturn (R), Libra Ketu; Capricorn Jupiter.

Her Leo Aquarius (6/12) axis is heavily afflicted. Leo is afflicted by Saturn and Mon Rah 11 Rahu; Aquarius is afflicted by Ketu and 1 Me 10 Jup Saturn. The house of immunity 8th is 2 Ven Sun Map 12 occupied by Ketu but joint aspects of Mars Ura 3 and Saturn running her 8th house. For the 6

affliction of Pisces and 12h house severe Nep 8 pain started from buttock to lower left leg Plu 4 5 7 Sat Ket in Oct 2004 during Rahu- Saturn-Venus dasa. Look Rahu is her 2nd house, Saturn is in the 5* house of the Zodiac (Leo), Venus is her 8th lord. She was bed ridden for the entire Rahu-Saturn dasa (dasa of two retrograde planets never bestow good results). Still in Dec. 2006, she has pain, though she has recovered magnificently through allopathic treatments. (Calcium injections) her husband is a GM of NTPC, Noida. Rahu Saturn or Saturn Rahu dasa is bad for 95% persons of the earth. According to . Vimalakanta Lahiri in his famous Vimsottori Dasa system book (P93 in Bengali), we find, if from a planet, its trinal houses are occupied by 6/8th lord/Sun/Mars/or Saturn, during the dasa ofthe above planets and in the sub-period of the planet located in its trinal house, one suffers from disease, and gets fear at every steps of life. The native's father suffers mentally. This aphorism is stunningly true to the knowledge of the author. So her sufferings in life are agreement with astrological principles framed by our sages of yore. When 8* lord/8th houses are afflicted, one suffers at the hands of destiny. Her 8t lord is a combust planet and is afflicted in Lagna. 81h house is severely afflicted. Her Neptune is hemmed between malefics, Venus is combust, Leo is occupied by Saturn, Saturn is afflicted by Rahu. Jupiter is the karaka of backache, which is debilitated and is squared by Rahu-Ketu axis. All the unfortunate combinations produced sciatica. She was born in Savya

(287)

group A with balance 51yr 6m, Her 2nd cycle started with Aries dasa from Sept 2000. As soon as Rahu appeared in Aries she was pulled down by the above dangerous disease. When Deha and Jeeva signs containing malefics are transited by malefics one suffers immensely in life. Dangers and downfalls are as sure as sunrise when Deha and Jeeva signs are occupied by malefics is transited by another natural malefic. Aires is her Deha Rasi containing Moon and Rahu. In KCD Principles, the dasa lord should not suffer from placement related blemishes. Here we find Dasa lord of Aries Mars has landed in the 12h house from its natal position. So Aries dasa pulled her down completely as per KCD principles. Dasa of a sign occupied nodes produces grief in life. She opened her life with Cancer 4yr-6m-0d Leo, Virgo, Libra passed away peacefully. In March 1985, Rahu entered Aries, but did not pull her down, because the dasa lord of Scorpio, Mars is placed in the 5th house 'from its sign in Lagna. During dasa of a planet in KCD principle, a native suffers when its moves to 3r4/6h/8/12 from its natal position. KCD principles are more accurate compared to Vimsottori in forecasting the dooms day of life.

APPENDICITIS

Where the small intestine enters the large intestine there is a blind sac, and off this is a little finger like projection called the appendix. Sometimes food becomes trapped in its cavity and an infection results called appendicitis. In appendix through an operation in the lower abdomen. If the vermiform appendix bursts, it may invite death. It has no function in man, but assists in digestion of cellulose in herbivorous animals. In rabbit, the appendix is well developed and serves a useful function in digestion. So appendicitis is the inflammation of the vermiform appendix, Venus is the significator for appendicitis. It affliction is a pre-requisite for this disease (through Rahu, Ketu, Mars, Sun and Saturn). Contact of Mars/Sun in Virgo, Gemini or Taurus keeps this disease in latent from. There is no role of Moon on this disease. Either 6* house/ or 6th lord should be afflicted. We shall

(288)

examine three practical cases for understanding this dangerous disease. Operation takes place surely when 6* house/or 6* lord is aspected Mars or Ketu and Mars is strong and afflicted in the birth chart. Virgo sign should also be influenced by Mars or Ketu. There should not be any malefic in the 6* house of Mars/Ketu for an operation free life. Example 69. Appendicitis operation in the middle age : DOB 14-10-1941, 1=54PM 1ST, Calcutta. Capricorn Lagna, Aquarius Ketu; Pisces Mars (R); Taurus Satum (R) Jupiter (R), Cancer Moon; Leo Rahu; Virgo Sun; Libra Mercury; Scorpio Venus. The significator of appendicitis Venus is Ket squared by Rahu Ketu axis and is 9

aspected by 124 lord Jupiter and Saturn. 6h 11 Mar 12 8 Ven Lord Mercury in the house of Venus 10 aspected by Mars and Ketu. Gemini is the 1 7 Mer 6* house, Virgo is afflicted by Sun and 4 Mon Plu Nep Mars. Taurus is afflicted by Saturn and 12th Ura Sat 5 6

lord Jupiter. When 6* house /6th lord are JJup 3 5 Sun Rah afflicted by Mars or Ketu, one is destined to have operation in the body. He went to Baroda on official job in March 1993 and had to work very hard under Sun at 45° 48° C temperature. On 19h March 1993 he had stomach pain and did not feel like eating anything. At 4 PM on the same day he visited one famous doctor near the railway station, who forced him to take admission-in a big hospital for the appendicitis operation. He never suffered from any disease upto March 1993. On 20.03.1993, operation took place at about 11 AM. He regained consciousness after 12 hours about in 12 PM mid night. Fatal dose of anesthesia forced him to remain unconscious even 12 hrs after operation. Many doctors, office colleagues were watching him helplessly. It took him about 4 months to recover from the shock of the operation. Though, appendicitis operation is a minor surgery, for the complications of his diseases, it took many hours by famous surgeons to complete the operation. Since

(289)

he was. an executive engineer, big personalities of his company were present at the time of operation. At least 20 colleagues were waiting anxiously. As per Vimsotteri dasa the operation took place during Saturn-Venus-Mercury dasa. As per KCD the operation took place during Cancer-Virgo dasa. Deha= Aquarius, Jeeva= Virgo. Deha rasi is occupied by Ketu. Jeeva Rasi is occupied by 8* lord Sun. On March 6, 1993, Saturn arrived in Aquarius. An incident occurs, when a planet changes signs, retrogrades, or gets combusted. On 20* March at 5:30 AM, Moon was in 9'29°43'. So Moon was also at Aquarius at the time of operation. Dangers and downfalls are as sure as sunrise when Deha or Jeeva sign containing malefics, are trasitted by other malefics. Moon was his 7* lord, a Marakesh planet Saturn was his 2nd lord, also a killer planet. Saturn-Venus dasa is bad for 95% persons. We see the role of Mercury as a sub-sub lord during the operation, where Mercury is the 6h lord, ruler of all diseases. In KCD also Cancer Virgo dasa was in operation. As per Yogini, the operation took place at the end of Bhadrika (Mercury) dasa. On 23-3-1993, his Deha sign was squared by Ketu-Rahu axis. Ketu was transitting Taurus. So house of Venus and the planet Venus was under the influence of Ketu-Rahu axis. His 6* house and 6* lord are aspected by Mars and Ketu. So he was destined to have one operation.

(290)

is his 8* lord, which is afflicted by Saturn, Sun. Antardasa lord Ketu is afflicted by Saturn, Mars. Gemini is hemmed between malefics and Virgo is aspected by Rahu. His appendicitis operation took place in May 1983 during the above dasa. He lost his mother on 20-10-1983 also at the same dasa. 6t lord is afflicted by 8th/12th lords, but 6* house is not spoiled by any malefic. Moon is not afflicted and it has generated Amala Yoga (unsullied benefic in 10h) for him. Jupiter in 9* has been praised by our seers. Lord of Lagna in 9*, 5* lord Moon in 10th (benefic influence on both 94/1 0* houses) made him a very intellectual genius. He is a famous CA of Calcutta. 10* lord in 9* has generated Khetra Simhasan Yoga. When 10 lord occupies tines/or quadrants, such a native becomes a famous man in his lifetime. As per KCD his sad incidents in life occurred during Cancer-Cancer dasa, because its lord has moved to the 6* place from its natal position. Any KCD dasa will bring some untoward incident in life when the sign lord moves to 3/6/8/12 from its natal position. This aphorism is stunningly true to the knowledge of the author. When the 6* house is aspected by a malefic, particularly by Mars or Ketu and Mars is strong and afflicted there would be an operation. In both the examples (69,70) 6* houses are aspected by Mars. Mars is strong in both the horoscopes. Example 71. Appendicitis operation at the age of 12 : DOB : 6-6-77, 15=45hrs/TN,11°12'N. Libra Lagna; Capricorn Moon; Pisces Ketu; Aries Mars, Mercury, Venus; Taurus Sun, Jupiter; Cancer Saturn; Virgo Rahu.

sign, Cancer as Deha sign. Both the houses are occupied by malefics. He is bom in Apasavya group B, 1* Qtr. In Apasaya diagram, dasa of benefic planets are bad. 1 * cycle 44yrs 3m 15d. He opened his life with Tula dasa 9yr 3m 15 d. Then Kanya ruled him for 9 yrs. Dasa lord Mercury is a natural benefic planet and has moved to 8* place from its natal position. So Kanya dasa brought the tragedy through operation. If the Deha & Jeeva signs are occupied by Mars, Saturn, Rahu or Ketu and particularly 8* lord.(Read Twin 8* houses of zodiac by Dr. S.S. Chatterjee), the native will suffer misfortunes etc. When boti. Deha and Jeeva signs are occupied by malefics apprehension, calamity, inguish, fear, great risk etc are indicated.

Timing an operation : There are two types of diseases. Some diseases are cured easily through fasting, medicines, yoga and pranayam. But there are many diseases which are not cured easily. On has to take the help of surgeons. Piles, fishtula, Cancer, Gull Stones, removal of defective kidney, appendicitis, hernia, cataract, brain tumour, stomach tumour, stomach ulcers, heart diseases etc. are to be cured through operation only. There is a close relationship between diabetes and terrorism. They can be controlled but cannot be eliminated. If somebody meets, serious accidents one has to seek medical help in hospitals. All diseases are caused for the wrong food habits, unhealthy living conditions, air pollutions, polluted water etc One should watch his health from the childhood. 500 mg of vitamin C per day keeps the body free from diseases. Eat two to three fresh fruits daily. Excess oil, butter, ghee, alcohol, tobacco, strong drugs like heroin, charas etc are to be avoided.

Yogas for operation:

6* house is the house of disease. Mars, Ketu, Virgo and 6 house of Janma Lagna are to be watched. When there are number of malefics in the 6* house, not aspected by benefics the native is destined to have an operation. Contact of Mars, Ketu on 6* house/6* lord is highly.

(292)

dangerous. If Mars/or Ketu aspects 6* house/6* lord/ Virgo, one may have operation yoga. Mars-Saturn in mutual angles also create operation yoga. When Mars is strong and afflicted operation has to take place. Probably it cannot be suppressed through medicines.

Timing an operation : Life of the native is under great risk under knife of the surgeon. Many people are killed during the operation. My own friend Dr. Roy died in Apollo Hospital, in Delhi for the fault of the doctor (exp10). Doctors are also human beings. Mood and temperament, dedication of doctor decides the success of an operation. Certain adverse stars are also responsible for the causes of unsuccessful operation. In ancient India, Sushrata, a great sage and a surgeon used to determine the time of operation by observing the horoscope of the native. While the planetary positions give clue to the area of the body which is looking to be affected by ill health, the. onset of the problem can be known by the Dasa or Antardasa or the planet occupying the 6* house. Should such a period coincide strongly with the transits of Saturn in the 1$1, 2n1, 12th (i.e. during sade sati) or the 8* house from Moon (Asthama Yoga of Saturn), the indications became stronger. The author had appendicitis operation during asthama yoga of Saturn, I request the modern surgeons of the globe to follow the instruction of sages of India before performing an operation a) when Moon travels a particular sign (Moon Crosses a sign only in 21/2 days), operation of that limb, indicated by the sign should not be undertaken. Suppose Moon is passing Aries, avoid the operation of head. Suppose Moon is passing Taurus, avoid operation of eye, through Gemini avoid operation of throat. Suppose Moon is passing through Cancer or Leo, avoid the operation of heart, kidney, abdomen etc. When Moon passes through dual signs (Gemini, Virgo, Sagittarius, Pisces), operation should be avoided. When Moon passes through Ascendant, 6* house or in Scorpio an operation maybe unsuccessful. b) Operation should be avoided on Full moon and New moon days, if such operation takes place, the patient will lose terrible amount of blood

(293)

c) 5 days before Full moon and 5 days after New Moon day an operation should be performed. d) When Moon passes through Taurus, Leo, Aquarius and posited in a trinal house from Mars/Jupiter/or Venus the operation will be successful e) When Moon passes over natal Saturn or is passing through the opposite sign of Saturn the operation should be avoided, It has been observed that the patient dies for invisible germs from the knife, a scissor or any other instrument f) When Mars or Mercury is retrograde, the operation should be avoided. When Mars is retrograde, the patient will lose terrible amount of blood. When Mercury is. retrograde, the doctor makes silly mistakes during the operation. In many cases, the doctor. leaves behind his scissor or a piece of bandage or cotton inside the stomach during stitching. So the patient may die for the silly mistakes of the doctor. Mercury govems intelligence, so during retrogression days the doctor may be under stress and strain for the invisible celestial planetary forces. g) One should consider the strength of Lagna and Lagna lord at the time of operation. Mars should be strong, and should not pass through the 8h house of Janma Lagna. Lord of Ascendant and Lord of Lagna should not be placed in 6/8*/12th houses on the day of operation. h) When Mars is afflicted in transit, the operation of brain and fractures will not be successful. When Mercury is afflicted, skin grafting operations should be avoided, when Jupiter is afflicted liver operation should be avoided, if Venus is afflicted, kidney operation; when Saturn is afflicted, slipped disc or spine related operation should be avoided. i) Moon-Mars combination, or when Moon is opposite to Mars in transit, the operations should be avoided. When Moon and Mars are posited in a watery sign huge blood loss occurs. My highly qualified friend and his engineer son are quack astrologers. They had little knowledge in astrology. Though I was available in Delhi they did not feel the necessity to consult me for fixing the operation day. Please see the horoscope No. 10. Transit on 5-11-2005. Taurus Lagna; Saturn Cancer; Virgo Ketu; Libra Sun 18 Jupiter 8; Scorpio Moon, Mercury; Sagittarius Venus; Pisces Rahu; Aries Mars(R)

(294)

On the fateful day of brain operation (5-11 -2005) Mars was retrograde in the 12* house, Moon was passing Scorpio, 8* lord was combust, lord of Lagna landed in 8th, there is an exchange between 6,8th lords. Saturn and Mars were exchanging aspects. Aries was heavily afflicted. Wise astrologers could have advised him to postpone the day of operation. Mars was retrograde upto 10-12-2005. If anybody knows astrology he will definitely not agree to the above day of operation. Retrograde Mars in Aries in highly afflicted condition; lagnesh was in 8*, Moon was in Scorpio, combust 8th lord, debilitated 5* lord, afflicted 9* lord all accelerated his moment of death. The native died on 7-11-2005 when Moon moved to Sagittarius, in his 8* house. At the time of death, 3rd lord, 8th lord were squared by Rahu-Ketu axis, 3rd house was heavily afflicted, 8* lord was combust in aspect to 74/12th lord Mars from the transit in Aries. The author strongly believes doctors killed him because they were in great hurry in collecting the money, and forced the native for the operation. A good astrologer could have saved his life for a few years. On the fateful day of operation Moon was not in the trinal house from Mars, Jupiter or Venus. We shall now study a few other case histories of operations.

Example 72. Multiple surgery cases : DOB 19-1-1936, 9=10PM, Mumbai. Leo Lagna, Neptune; Scorpio Moon 7-17, Venus, Jupiter; Sagittarius Rahu; Capricorn Mercury, Sun; Aquarius Saturn, Mars; Aries Uranus; Gemini Ketu, Cancer Pluto (source AM, Feb 2002 P 229)

susceptible to attack from many diseases. His Virgo is afflicted by Mars. 6* house/ Virgo signs are influenced by Mars or Ketu, such a native has to undergo many operations in life. When 8* lord is afflicted, one suffers at the hands of destiny. His 8* lord is influenced by debilitated 12* lord Moon and by the violent 10* aspect of Saturn carrying the influence of Mars. 6* lord's aspect on Jupiter is a grisly combination and is to be feared. God writes only sad episodes about a person, whose Jupiter is weak in the horoscope. Indeed his Jupiter is weak planet. It is debilitated in Navamsa. He opened his life with Saturrt dasa I3y-4m-I4d. According to Santhanam, dasa of 11th lord is highly malefic in nature. In Oct, 1952, at the age of 16 he was hit by an electric pole of the railway track, while he was trying to guess the railway station, leaning away from the door. Luckily, it was a minor accident (Mercury-Ketu dasa). Saturn was transiting Virgo, Jupiter was transiting Aries, Rahu was in Capricorn. Saturn was influencing his 8* lord Jupiter in Scorpio. Aspect of Jupiter in Lagna from transit.saved him. Ketu while transiting his 12* house, put him to hospital. In Aug 1961 he suffered from TB (Mercury-Jupiter dasa). And in Aug 65 he underwent surgery for piles (Mercury-Saturn dasa). At that time Satumn was transiting Aquarius, Jupiter was in his Deha sign Gemini containing Ketu. Ketu was transiting through Scorpio. During 67-69, he suffered from acute pain between the calves going towards ankles. When Leo and Saturn are afflicted one suffers from acute pain for the spinal problem. Spine is controlled by Leo and the significator of central nervous system is Saturn. Saturn and Mars are spoiling Leo and Aquarius axis. Afflictions of 74/8th lords, Libra and Scorpio (7* & 8* house of the zodiac) generated piles for him. He underwent surgery for appendicitis on 30.1.1997. Ketu and Saturn was in rapt conjunction in Pisces on the fateful day (his 8* house). He was passing Sun-Saturn dasa in Jan 1997. Afflicted Virgo by Mars, Ketu in Gemini generated appendicitis. From 9-1-1998 (Sun-Ketu dasa) he is suffered from cervical spondylysis, which continued intermittently. In Oct 1993, he had stone in kidney (Sun Moon dasa). He suffered mainly in Mercury,

(296)

Ketu and Sun dasa. Ketu and Sun Dasa are bad for 80% persons. Mercury is his 2ªd/1 1* lord. So he suffered immensely during Mercury dasa. During entire Venus dasa (June 1973 June 93) he remained free from diseases. Dasa of 10* lord always brings happiness in life. He is suffering at the fag end of life from acute backache for his afflictions of Leo and Saturn. Debilitated 12* lord, brought sufferings for him. Spondylysis is a disease of the spine which generates terrible backache. I have already written (Read Adhi Yoga in Astrology Nector by Dr. S.S. Chatterjee) unfortunate persons are born with Saturn Mars combination in the 7* house. They are pulled down by enemies. He was born with Apasaya group B, 2° quarter, Deha = Gemini, Jeeva = Taurus. He opened his life with Aries 8y 2m5d. Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius, Pisces, Aries, Taurus, followed in the 19 cycle. 2"d cycle opened with Gemini on 24-3-1994. At present in 2007 he passing Taurus dasa. People born in Apasaya diagram suffer from many diseases and enemies. In his case several diseases in his body turned out to be his bitter enemies. I shall show another example where the native underwent many surgical operations for heart, kidney and lastly for cancer in abdomen. 6* house Mars in aspect to Rahu created hovoc in his life. He died on 6-12-2004 (DOB 23-12-1939, 10=00 AM, Maimansingh. Virgo Lagna; Libra Rahu; Scorpio Mercury; Sagittarius Sun' Capricorn Venus; Aquarius Mars; Pisces Jupiter; Aries Saturn, Moon, Ketu. He was the GM of PDIL, Noida). Example 73.

(297)

represents heart and also stomach. Sun is the main significator of stomach, so also the heart. Here 6* lord is with Ketu and there is Saturn Mars combination in mutual angles. So he was destined to have an operation. His 5 house is heavily afflicted by debilitated Mars aspected by Saturn. 5* lord is debilitated and is hemmed between malefics. There is exchange of Moon and Mars (5/9 lords) which has generated a class 1 Raja Yoga for him. Moon Mercury-Venus in mutual angles have generated the famous Mudrika Yoga (Advanced Predictive Astrology Vol. 2 by Dr. S.S. Chatterjee). Afflicted 5* house/5* lord, Sun, and affliction of Leo by Rahu produced stomach tumours (Cancer) in May 2006 during Venus-Saturn-Moon dasa. The operation was carried out on 10-6-2006 during the same dasa and sixth places of stomach has been removed for making him disease free. He lost 18 kg in July 2006 for the impact of operation. Saturn in 6* generated longevity to him. Venus is his 8* lord. Dasa of 8* lord is always bad. Venus-Saturn dasa is peculiar to 95% persons. He suffered during the dasa of 8* lord, 12* lord and 5* lord (as pratyantar dasa lord). We should be grateful to our sages for developing so many golden rules for the benefit of mankind. Strong 4* lord did not generate heart diseases. For heart disease 4* /5* house and their lords, Leo and Aquarius should be afflicted.

Example 74. Removal of Large Intestine : DOB 28-6-1966/ 6=29AM/Bhatinda. Gemini Lagna, Sun, Jupiter; cancer-Mercury; Libra- Moon; Scorpio Ketu; Pisces Saturn; Taurus Venus, Mars, Rahu. Mer Ven Mar Rah,

1999 to 1-11-2000, during Saturn-Sun- Mon 8 Ket Rahu dasa in Feb 2000, his large intestine

(298)

was removed for the stomach ulcer. Dasa of planets in square position is always bad (Advanced Predictive Astrology, Vol. 2 by Dr. S.S. Chatterjee) Rahu in 12" or 8* is a liability for any native. The stomach has been assigned to fifth house and Leo. Leo is aspected by Mars carrying the evil influencer of Rahu and Saturn. 51h lord Venus is heavily afflicted by Mars, Rahu and Saturn. Uranus and Pluto damaged his Leo sign. Sun is the star of Rahu which is a bitter enemy of Sun. so all these unfortunate planetary configurations was abont to kill him during Saturn-Sun dasa. Sun has joined with two Kendra lord Jupiter. Here Jupiter is suffering from Kendra Adhipati Dosha. 7* lord Jupiter transferred Marakesh power to Sun. Strong Saturn saved his life. Longevity is controlled by Saturn, and 8* house of Saturn. Moon in the 8* house of Saturn, granted bonus point to Saturn. When Sun and Moon are aspected by Jupiter one does not die at a very yonng age. Strong Lagna, strong Sun, strong Moon, strong Lagnesh made him a very wealthy man of the society.

Summary of onset of serious illness foroperation:

1. Period of lords of 6,81, J 2*, 2nd, 1] * 2. Period of malefic plaents like Saturn or Mars, especially when they are connected with Lagna or Lagna lord. 3. Period of planets associated with Rahu. 4. Period of heavily afflictedplanets in the chart. 5. Dasa of two retrograde planets bring serions diseases.(see exp. 10) 6. Examine KCD dasa system. Dasa of the sign lord which has travelled to 3/6/8/12 from its natal position, brings diseases. When Deha and Jeeva signs are occupied by malefics, transit of other malefics on them produces diseases. Sub-period of 6* lord is the ideal time for the identification of disease producing periods of life. The author suffered during Cancer-Virgo dasa, where Moon is posited in its own house (he has Capricorn Lagna). Moon is afflicted by the 3"d aspect of Saturn from Taurus.

(299)

An unaffiliated planet and strong in vargabala will never produce any disease. 7. Kendras should be occupied by malefics for producing multiple operations in the body or 6* house should be heavily afflicted by Mars or Ketu. Virgo should be aspected by Ketu or Mars. 8. Malefics in 6* house and strong but afflicted Mars will invite operations in the body. 9. Can one avoid an operation? The uses of astrology are infinite but it lacks the glamour and sophistication that go with high tech medicines and surgery and therefore, is often not taken recourse to before making a major decision regarding health and surgery. But in those cases where astrological help has been sought, results have been gratifying not only helping the patient to avoid wrong surgery, unnecessary surgery but also in choosing the right time of treatment. While the planetary position give a clue to the area of the body which is likely to be affected by ill health, the onset of the problem can be known by the Dasa-Antardasa or the planet occupying, ruling or aspecting 6th house, should such a period coincide strongly with the transits of Saturn in the 1", 2nd or 12th or 8th housè from Moon, the indications becomes stronger. If the indication for a disease is not very strong, then as the antardasa finishes and as the, Moon frees it self from malefic transits the diseases will automatically reduce or get eliminated by itself. Recourse to surgery and other forms of drastic treatment becomes reductant. Moon in 6* house afflicted by another malefic will produce ulcer in the abdomen. Such people should avoid hot, oily, spicy food. By controlling clean food habits and a regular time maintained for eating can avoid many dangerous diseases. EPILEPSY More than 2 million North American have some form of epilepsy, recurrent seizure triggered by abnormal electrical impulses in the brain, during which the person fall down and is seized by convulsive movements. It is an affection of the nervous system characterized by

(300)

attacks of unconsciousness with or without convolutions. Very young children suffer from this mysterious disease and can faint without prior warning. Modern doctors are helpless in front of this mighty disease. Our Vedas and shastras have clarified one thing:

जन्मान्तर कृतपापं व्याधि रूपेण जायते।

तत् शांति औषघैर्दानैर्ज्जप होमार्चनादिभिः॥। meaning that the main consideration in determining diseases their origin and remedy should be to keep in mind that accumulated sins in the previous births take the form of disease. The modem ideas tell the sole cause of diseases is unprincipled eating or bad habits. For example taking raw vegetables (Cabbage, Carrot, radish etc), some bacteria may travel to the brain and may cause epilepsy. So it is better not to give salad to small children. Foods and vegetables should be boiled, before given to the children for eating or drinking. Unprocessed pork and beef causes epilepsy. Ancient astrological works have divided all the diseases in the divisions" as arising from wrath (baddha) or tridosha (three humoral maladjustment) viz vata, pitta, kapha. An astrologer may be perhaps the most competent person who can analyses the 6* and the 8* houses primarily to find out the root cause of any disease. If the 6h house or its lord is seriously afflicted and if the lord of the 6* house or the malefic planet dispositing the lord of 6h is more powerful than the lord of 8* or the dispositor, the illness is due to wrath (baadha). Should however, the 8* house and its lord be afflictedbadly and its lord more powerful than the lord of 6* or the malefic dispositor of that house, the illness is due to tridosha. In respect of diseases arising out of wrath (baadha). 5t/9th houses and their lords play a vital role. Wrath is again classified as deva baddha, sharpa baadha, shaapa baddha(curse), preta (ghost) baddha, Drishti (evil eye) baddha and Astaadasa (8) graha (planetary) baadhas. Epillepy is usually considered as one of the baadha rogas or diseases arising out of wraths, for the sins committed in the previous life. Even proper diet is unable to cure Epilepsy.

(301)

Aphorisms of Epilepsy:

1. Ascendant lord in 6th/8th/12th in the company of Rahu, Saturn or Mars.

2. Saturn or Rahu or both are in the 8* and malefics (even functional) occupy the 5th or the 9th free from beneficial aspect. Moon is also afflicted.

3. The sun or Mars in 8. in the constellation of Venus or Saturn.

4. Moon, Mars and Saturn in the 8th house:

5. Moon and Saturn in 8th aspected by Mars.

6. The Moon and Rahu in Lagna, with malefics in Trines.

7. When Lagna, lord of Lagna, Mercury which is Trines. Karaka for nerves, the Moon karaka for mind all are afflicted this disease may occur.

Example 75. Epilepsy in infant days: DOB 28-11-1942/ 7=02AM/Bankura(WB). Scorpio Sun, Mercury, Venus; Aquarius Ketu; Taurus Saturn (R), Cancer-Jupiter (R), Moon; Leo Rahu; Libra Mars.

He was born with retrograde Saturn's dasa Mar 11y-1m-17d. He suffered from epilepsy from the age 3 to 8 yrs. All the kendrasa are 9 7 10 6 Nep occupied by malefics generating Sarpa Sun Mer Ven Yoga a yogafor ill health. Both 5t/9t lords Ket 11 8 5 Rah are aspected by Saturn. He lost his father 2

when he was 21/2 yrs old. Deva kopa is the Sat Ura Plu

12 4 Jup reason of his epilepsy. He did not have any .3 Mon 1

good career for the conjunction of 8th and 10h lords in direct aspect of Saturn. His Lagna, lord of Lagna, Mercury, Moon all are afflicted which contributed the growth of epilepsy. He lost his job in 1983 and his illustrious wife is maintaining the family. Strong Moon Jupiter

(302)

combination in the 9th helped him to recover from dangerous diseases. Example 76. A case of epilepsy from childhood : DOB 26-12-89/ 3=45PM/Delhi. Taurus Lagna, Gemini Jupiter, Cancer Ketu; Scorpio Moon, Mars; Sagittarius Satum, Sun, Capricom Mercury, Rahu, Venus.

He is the son of an advocate of Delhi and is suffering from epilepsy from the age of 2, Jup

even in 2007 Jan his problems are not over. 3 1 Ket 4 12 He is studying only in class IX in 2007. He 2 was born with balance Mercury dasa 1 1yr- 5 11 0m-24d. Since Mercury is an infant planet 8

Mon Mar Rah (less than 1°) and is afflicted by 6h lord 6 10 Ven Venus and Rahu. this dasa brought 7 9 Mer Plu Nep Sat sufferings in the form of epilepsy. Ketu Sun Ura

dasa also pulled him down because its dispositor is debilitated. His 4th lord Sun and 9th lord Satum are hemmed between malefics. 9th house is afflicted by Rahu-Ketu axis. So for the Deva kopa he is suffering in this life. Mercury, Moon, Lagna, lord of Lagna are all afflicted, which added fuel to the fire. * i SCHIZOPHRENIA

Several types of schizophrenia exist, but all fall under the broad category of 'psychotic disorder', meaning the patient is not in touch with reality in one or more ways. Patients are seldom, if even, cured of this severe mental illness, but a number of medications can improve symptoms. Recent research have revealed that anxiety disorders including depression were 25% more common in the obese people studied than in the non-abese (TOI, 6-7-2003 P 29). Smoking is a healthy game for schizophrenic persons, has beneficial physiologic effects and improves thinking ability, Bruce N. Roger said, modern medicine knows of no knowledge for the cause of schizophrenia and puts it down to a mix a heredity, behaviour and other factors. With the help of astrology it is very easy matter to diagnose such a disease before

(303)

any damage of one's own life or another's is caused. Actually Moon controls mind, its affliction with other malefics cause schizophrenia. 4h house also controls mind. Schizophrenia is a disease of mind and patients can make the life of others hell. Schizophrenia ladies are dangerous.They desert their husbands apparently for no reason. I shall discuss two such horoscopes (exp. 77, 78). Approximately one-third of those suffering from schizophrenia exhibit paranoid systems. They suffer from over suspiciousness, delusions of persecution or false or irrational beliefs that they are being cheated, conspired against, harassed, victimized or poisoned. Their fears may focus on one or more family member or colleagues depending on the affliction on the chart. When their demands are not met, they shout at the person expressing his/her much anger on the matter. Out moral character is controlled by Jupiter, Venus, Sun and 4th lord/4th house. A man who has Jupiter powerful will be trustworthy. Strong Sun makes the native proud with a noble mind. He will always oppose to all under had action and covert deals. In Nadir (4* house) it causes the first part of life in troubles of various kinds arising out of the family or health. In zenith (10t house) it gives the greater sense of dignity and love of imposing power. The native develops strong common sense and practical character with executive ability Mars causes the fall and Venus recovers from falling. A person who has strong Venus is bluntly different from others. He embodies noble qualities. Lord of Ascendant in combination with benefics and beneficial aspects posited in 4t shows a straight forward nature: Purity of heart is indicated by a benefic planet or by a planet in the exaltation or in a friendly sign and the sign in the 4h belongs to a benefic, the man has a mind without deceit or hypocrisy. A person may appear to be good and reliable externally but dishonest and crocked at heart if Rahu falls in the 4th house, aspected by a another malefic. The same result is indicated by the presence of more than one malefic in the 4". Dishonesty and crocked nature are also evidenced by the lord of 10th aspected by another malefic falling in the 4th or by the lord of 8* in combination with a malefic and aspected by a malefic occupying the

(304)

4t. Schizophrenic persons are unfortunate persons, they must have weak Moon and weak Jupiter. Therefore, in all cases of schizophrenia, the most important affliction comes from Rahu or Ketu, the shadowy planets, that have a blurring effect on the planets involved and therefore on their significations. Deva Gan persons are the superior persons of the society. They always come up in life (constellation 1,5,7,8,13,15,17,22,27). They talk in a sweet manner. Manushya Gan (2,4,6,11,12,20,21,25,26) people are timid in nature, and they become the victim of schizophrenia. Rakshasa Gana nakshtra (3,9,10,14,16,18,19,23,24)' produce mindset that are constantly stressed up making it hard for one to live with them. They can also produce compulsive obsessive disorder. They can be excessively demanding and dominating, this urge springing from a deep rooted inferiority complex that continually prompts them to say or do things that they are superior to others.

Aphorisms of schizophrenia :

a. The Moon is with Rahu or Ketu and the 4* house is with Rahu or Ketu and the 4th house from ascendant or the Moon sign also has Nodal affliction direct or indirect severe and chronic condition of schizophrenia, In the direct case Rahu-Ketu passes fourth house from Lagna or Moon. In the indirect case Ascendant lord, 4t lord from Ascendant or Moon are afflicted by Rahu or Ketu.

b. The Moon is in a nodal constellation with Rahu or Ketu and the fourth house from the ascendant or the Moon sign also has a nodal affliction direct or indirect severe and chronic condition.

c. The Moon is in a nodal constellation and 4th house. from the Ascendant or the Moon sign also has nodal affliction direct or indirect less severe.

d. The Ascendant or its lord has nodal affliction; The 4* house from the Moon sign or from the ascendant has nodal affliction direct or indirect less severe but recurring. Our desires spring out from 5* house. If the schizophrenic chart with nodal affliction to the

(305)

Moon suffers from affliction to the 5* house from aplanet other than Sun. 1. Jupiter Delusions of scholarship, fame, spirituality mad unhealthy hankering for money and importance overtake the mind 2. Saturn Malice and excessive levels of jealousy can erupt due to self pity. springing from intolerance of another's looks, fame, learning, status, position, acquisitions or level of happiness. It can also spring from an extreme morbid pettiness that one may be suffering from has not happened to someone else and from constantly wishing that the same adversity befall the cither. 3, Mars Avarice, vindictiveness-and unrealistic evels of greed and a mad urge to dominate and control lead to violent rage and anger. 4. Venus Sexual frustration due to disappointment, rejection or incapacity. 5. Mercury Fear, cowardice and spinelessness leading to anxiety, depression and other morbid states of mind. It also helps fantasizing. 6. Moon Lunacy, simple and plain. Such afflicted Moon or Mercury or both the Moon and Mercury in the 5 house one often found in the charts of those suffering from hallucinations or hearing voices or seeing ghosts. The afflictions to the planets, influencing the 5* by aspect or occupation can be due to 8th house lordship, retrogression, combustion or association of malefics or a papakartari yoga around the 5 house. When Mars afflicts the nodal axis, tnere can be a dangers of violent behaviour verbal or physical and it is most likely to directed to family members. Mars with Moon Rahu combine produce violent reactions physical and verbal. However, if Mars is in the 10h from such a Moon, it is a balancing constructive influence that works against making the condition chronic Venus with node afflicted Moon reduces the maleficence of the affliction. However, sexual delusions and fantasies could disturb the native. Moon Mars combination in 8th produces various types of diseases, repeated fevers, pleurisy, headache, migraine, thyroid trouble in declining years of life. Moon-Rahu in 8* produce homosexual or lesbian tendency. In

(306)

the positive side they become much rider than the financial status of the parents. When Moon-Ketu occupies 81h house it produces repeated disorder of digestive system. In addition when Saturn occupies 2nd, 4th or 12t house with Moon-Ketu in 8th there are chances of major surgery or amputation of a limb of the body. With Moon Rahu or Moon Satum in 12, the individual likes to be separated from the wider family. If Moon is the 2"d house. Mars and Ketu in 8t, it can produce leukemia or allied skin ailment. If Ketu in 8t, Moon in 124, it can give neurological trouble.

Example 77. House breaking lady Violent Schizophrenic : DOB 8-11-1972/7=30AM/Delhi. Scorpio Mercury, Moon; Sagittarius Jupiter, Rahu; Taurus Saturn (R), Gemini Ketu; Virgo Venus; Libra Mars, Sun.

She was born with a paisacha yoga which Mar Sun is a yoga for mental sickness and distorted Jup Rah

9 Ven perception. Moon-Mercury in mutual 7 10 6 Ura kendra, when both of them are afflicted, Mon Plu Mer Nen the evil yoga is generated. Her Moon and 11 8 .5 Mercury are in rapt conjunction, hemmed 2 Sat between malefics and is direct aspect from 12 4 Saturn (R) in Taurus. Sun and Mars in I 3 Ket Libra in the 12 house made her a mad dog. When 8t/12th houses are afflicted, scandals and defamation surface out. She was born as a daughter of Sales Tax commissioner and raised with luxury. She was educated from English medium schools of Delhi. Her abnormality in behaviour was noticed during Mercury Moon dasa in 1984. She managed a BAdegree and got married with a innocent CA of Delhi (the author knows her husband, when he was a kid, and warned him about his would be wife. DOB 9-6-1970; 5=27AM, Delhi) on 9-2-1999 during Ketu Saturn dasa. Ketu is in the star of Jupiter and Ketu is aspected by divine 5th lord

(307)

Jupiter. Marriage went on smoothly upto July 2000. As soon as Venus Venus dasa started, they became unhappy. The above woman deserted her husband and returned to her father's house. Her father immediately started a false allegations of torture, dowry, harassment etc. Afflicted 7th house, 8th house, 12t house, debilitated 7t lord did not allow her to live a descent life with husband. Guru Chandal yoga, Mars Saturn, Saturn Jupiter in 6/8 relationships, denied her real happiness of life. Her husband left for Dubai in Dec. 2000 with a lucrative job. Still in Dec. 2006, the rnatter is in the court.

Example 78. Schizophrenic man : DOB 2-10-1954, 5=30PM/Delhi: Pisces Lagna; Gemini Ketu; Cancer, Jupiter Virgo Sun; Libra Venus, Saturn, Mercury; Scorpio Moon; Sagittarius Rahu, Mars. He is an M.Sc. (Physics) and started his . life as a bank employee. He got rnarried in 11 1982, but the wife left soon after 1 2 10 pregnancy because he doubted about her 12 character. That lady delivered a son and Ket 3 9 Rah never returned to his house. They are 6 Mar Sun fighting a divorce case since 1983. In Ura 4 8 Mon 2006, the matter is in the court. He married Jup 5 7 NepVen secretly in 1990 during Venus-Rahu dasa Plu Mer Sat

and got a daughter in 1992. He was suspended on 22-6-06, for insulting his auditors. But surprisingly, the suspension letter narrates that he took excess loan from the bank, which he should not have taken for the purchase of a flat. Ketu-Rahu axis is passing though 4th/10th axis,. 4th lord is in the 8h with 8th lord Venus, 12h lord Saturn. Moon is debilitated and is hemmed between j malefics. 10th house Rahu-Mars is aspected by Saturn. Three malefics in 10th brought a black spot in his career during Sun-Venus dasa. 8th lord in 8th grants poor career (read Twin 8th house of the Zodiac by Dr. S.S. Chatterjee). 7th lord in 8th afflicted with Saturn and Ketu ruined his marital happiness. Sun in 7* added fuel to the fire. Sun in 7th always

(308)

brings a rift in the married life. When there are number of malefics in 10th such a native engages himself in wrong things of life. They are destined to do some bad work. His 21ª wife does not talk to him for schizophrenic tendencies. 6d lord Sun's dasa brought disgrace in his career. Sun's dasa is bad for 95% persons of the society. His Jupiter is powerfully spoiled by the 10th aspect of Saturn and 8t aspect of Mars. God only writes sad episode about a person whose Jupiter is found weak in the horoscope. So weak Jupiter produced so many ups and downs in life. He is a very unhappy soul for the bad planetary configurations. Example 79. Schizophrenia : DOB18-10-1971: 10=40 AM, Sitapur, UP. Scorpio Lagna, Jupiter; Capricorn Mars, Rahu; Taurus Satumn (R), Cancer Ketu; Virgo Moon; Libra Sun, Mercury, Venus.

Whenever 8th lord joins Sun, such native's are deserted by their father. This aphorism Mer Sun Ven 7 Mon is stunningly true to the knowledge of the Mar 9 10 6 Ura author. When he was 1 yr old, his mother Rah Jup Nep Piu

separated from his father and raised him 11 8 5 alone in life. On 18-11-05 he met me for 2

knowing his future, he was employed with Sat 12 4 Ket a famous TV channel. He is married, I 3

having no kids. His 8th house is hemmed 'between malefics and enjoyed Jupiter Mercury dasa between 18-1-05 to 24-4-07. I told him that he was passing through a bad phase of life, should be careful about his job. But on 6-5-06, he resigned after a minor quarrels with his senior. 10th lord Sun has conjoined with 8th lord Mercury and 12t lord Venus. 8th house is hummed between malefics. Mars Rahu in 3rd made him a dare-devil man. 9th house is occupied by Ketu aspected by Saturn. When 9th house is weak and afflicted one loses foresight: Saturn or Mars in 7t house crops up many enemies in life. Such a native's life becomes a cupful of sorrows (Astrology Nectar by Dr.S.S. Chatterjee; Read Adhi Yoga). 8th

(309)

house hemmed malefics brings scandals and infamy in life. Saturn and Sun are both debilitated in the navamsa. Two to three debilitated planets in the navamsa robs the merit of the horoscope. MENTAL ILLNESS (LUNACY)

Insanity is a mental disease. Some are bom as in sane persons, others- become lunatic under stress/strain of life. Lunatic persons are most hapless persons and lose the power of generating money. They also lack the power to defend themselves. The present level of astrological knowledge may not enable us to pinpoint whether one's insanity is due to the mental or brain disorder, though the cause can be guessed approximately. Mercury in the 5* afflicted by conjunction with Saturn is indicative of some form of insanity appearing especially in Saturn's main period and Mercury's sub-period or vice versa. Insanity makes the mind restless and vacant, the vision becomes stable and actions become purposeless and incoherent. Vata, pitta, kapha are the main causes of diseases. During the dasa of a planet, if it is conjunction with a malefic, extremely weak or in an evil house, it will produce disease. If the dasa is of a benefic planet, the planet is well placed in various Vargas, the sub- period of an evil planet will not be able to produce disease seriously in that dasa. If it happens, it can be cured. House 6,8,12 and the planets associated with these house and their lords are productive of adverse results, they are particularly adverse in relation to health. 6h lord is the strongest disease producing planet. Insanity may be of ten different types; Melancholia, Mania, Hysteria, Epilepsy, Schizophrenia, Amnesia, Idiocy, Perversion, Obsession and Lunacy. The whole gamut of mental affliction can be classified as : a) Major mental afflictions can by lack of awareness of the condition on the part of the individual. The individual loses touch with reality and is not aware of his own disease. They fail to earn money for idiocy. Some are born as deaf, dumb and lunatic for their sins of past lives. Some people also can become lunatic in advanced ages for stress and strain of life. Upto 1960, the treatment for lunacy there was either confinement in security cells worse than those provided for dangerous criminals or exorcist, which

(310)

was worse. Ranchi mental asylum was very famous prison for all lunatic persons. But in 2006 AD, doctors are trying hard to cure their patients. b) Temporary mental afflictions due depression "and conditions like guilt, despair, despondency, melancholy, prolonged bereavement, lassitude and loss of interest.

Astrological factors: We are grateful to, our ancient sages for developing so many astrological aphorisms for the benefit of mankind. This science Was developed at least 10,000 yrs ago (8000 BC), but rules are stunningly true even in 2007. From astrological standpoint these diseases are to be viewed primarily from the affliction of Lagna, 4t house (feelings and emotions), 5h house (intelligence faculty, thinking power), Moon (governor of mind and emotion), Mercury (lord of intelligence, logical tibinking). The separative and disruptive planets are Mars, Saturn and nodes. If the powerful affliction of Mercury or Lagna or the Moon has the contact of Rahu, one can be certain that no medical treatment would be of any avail. When both Moon and Mercury are afflicted the disease should be of serious nature. The Lagna and its lord should be involved in the affliction. Affliction to the Moon and Mercury, if strong, result in severe psychological complexes that could affect normal life. Heavily affliction to the Moon have two fold significance. Depending on the rest of the chart, the afflictions to the Moon can reduce longevity. Ifthis does not happen, then the native become a case for a psychologist. Such natives may display normal social behaviour, but deep underneath they are comedowns of serious emotional disturbance and psychological complexes. Such natives can make life miserable for those they marry. Depending upon the intensity or nature of affliction, they can either be schizophrenic, paranoid neurotic or even homicidal. If the affliction of Mars is from Saturn, such natives suffer from excessive melancholy or depression and living with them can impair severely the peace of the family. They suffer from a persecution complex and believe they are martyrs in life and that everyone should be beholden to them otherwise they go haywire. Afflictions centering on the Moon from Mars make

(311)

for violent moods, behaviour and action. They are very very harsh in speech and can lash with their tongues with such ferocity, their victims may soon end up as mental wrecks. If Moon is afflicted by Rahu, then one suffers from dangerous levels of suspicion. and homicidal tendencies. If the Moon is with Ketu, the native suffers from an intense inferiority complex, clams up and withdraws into a shell. The escape route that appeals to such natives is self destruction or suicide otherwise, there may be a great longing for spiritual life. If the Moon is afflicted by two or more of these malefic- Saturn, Mars, afflicted Mercury, Rahu, Sun or Ketu, then whatever may the other merits of the chart, one is safe by staying away from such individual. In all these cases of affliction of the Moon, the aspect of association of Jupiter or Venus tends to tone down to affliction. If the dispositor of the afflicted Moon is well placed in the Rasi chart preferably in a friend's house, it also tone down maleficence of the Moon. When a Moon-Mercury combination occurs, involving the watery signs, especially Pisces and Scorpio where Mercury and the Moon are respectively in debility, we have demonic natures cloaked in an apparently attractive exterior. Such natives can harbour horrendous levels of avarice, hate, jealousy and other morbid emotions that can lead a ruin death and depravity. One of the best things to have is a chart for marital alliance is a Moon, free of associations. The Moon with Venus gives a friendly nature, whatever the sign occupied by Moon. The natives are amicable, fond of beauty or aesthetics and have the ability to share happiness. They are optimistic. Jupiter with Moon is always welcome and given a great magnanimity of mind and heart that can easily forgive. Now I shall show a case where the young girl having Moon-Mercury combination in cancer, wrecked the family peace of two families.

Example 80. House breaking lady : DOB 24-7-1979, 10=00PM, Kolkata. Pisces Lagna; Taurus Mars, Gemini Venus; Cancer Mercury (R), Sung: Jupiter, Moon; Leo Saturn-Rahu. 6h house is the house of senses and it is also the house of disease. Her 6t house is vitiated with worst malefic combination Mars-Sturn-Rahu. Venus is in the star of

(312)

Rahu. Her 3rd house is aspected by Saturn Ket on Mars making her a dare devil. Moon- 1 Mercury combination in the house of Mar 2 10 ʻ intelligence afflicted by 6th lord Sun 12

generated "Paischa yoga" in a watery sign. Ven 3 9 6 When 6th house is afflicted, 5th Mer Plu

(intelligence) 7* (house of marriage) 12t Jup Sun 4 8 Nep Mon 7 house (house of bed pleasure) suffers (see 5 Sat Rah Ura

Fortune and Finance by Dr. S.S. Chatterjee P 89). Ketu in 12 ruined her family. She got married with a CA on 22-4- 2003 during Ketu-Rahu dasa, fulfilling the wishes of a CAfather. On 5- 5 -04 she deserted the house of her husband with false allegation that her husband maintains extra-marital relationships. Her father unnecessarily quarreled with her husband. Her husband engaged a detective agency who unearthed the whole secret. All the e-mails sent to her lover (she had sex-relationships with this guy before marriage) were recovered. All printed copies were handed over to her father. Her father could not tolerate the situation and he died in a massive heart attack during Ketu-Mercury (R) dasa. The dasa of two retrograde planets are always bad. Paisacha Yoga generated unhappiness in minds of several persons, whoever came in contact with her. The dasa of 8th lord Venus buried her alive beneath the soil ruining all future prospects. The Moon in the 6th or with 6th lord in 8* (house of sins) or 12t (house of loss) can create mind set that is not healthy in attitude.

Aphorisms of Lulancy:

1. 3"d lord eclipsed in conjunction with Rahu in Pisces or in Virgo and is at the same time aspected by Saturn, it causes a predisposition of mental and psychological abnormalities. 2. Waning Moon and Saturn in 12th 3. Saturn in the Ascendant while Mars in the 6th/8t/12* from Saturn. 4. Atmakaraka j oins Mercury under malefic aspect. 5. Jupiter in the ascendant and Saturnin 7th.

.(313)

6. Lord of Lagna, Saturn and 6th lord are in one sign

7. Morons are born with Moon, node, and Saturn conjunction. Example 81. Birth of a moron, Deaf and Dumb from the childhood : DOB 21-2-1986, 4=02AM, Delhi; Sagittarius Lagna; Aquarius Jupiter, Sun, Venus, Mercury; Aries Rahu; Gemini Moon 23 - 43; Libra Ketu; Scorpio Satum, Mars. When the lord of Lagna is in the enemy camp and is aspected by another malefic Sat Mar Ura

the life of the native is ruined completely. Jup Mer 10 8 Ket Sun 11 7 His lord of Lagna is placed in the house of Ven Nep Plu

his bitter enemy, is a combust planet and is 12 6 afflicted by Mars, Ketu, 6 lord. Aspect of 3 Mon 8* lord in lagna reduced the size of his personality. His 6/8th/12th lords are Rah 1 5 4 2

afflicted, which increase sufferings in life. All the kendras of Moon are vacant, which denied him any career. His 5t house is occupied by Rahu and the 8th house from 5th house is occupied by Satum and Mars. 9 lord has moved 180° away from its natal position. Hence weak 9th, 5h and 1" lords made him a moron. 4 lord is a combust planet. 4th lord and 6h lords have conjoined. God writes only sad episodes about a person whose Jupiter is weak in the horoscope. All these combinations made him a moron. His Deha Rasi is Capricorn and Jeeva sign is Gemini. 8* lord Moon occupied his Jeeva sign, on account of this reason Goddess Laxmi deserted him. He opened his life with Pisces dasa 5y-2m-22d. Any dasa in KCD, when its lord has moved to 3/6/8/12 from its natal position will produce malefic results. His lord of Pisces Jupiter has moved to its 12th place form its natal position and is a combust planet. Dasa of such a planet can only bestow sufferings in life. Example 82. Case of idiocy : DOB 10-12-1980/5=04PM/Kolkata. Taurus Lagna; Cancer Rahu; Virgo Jupiter, Saturn; Libra Venus; Scorpio Sun, Mercury; Sagittarius Moon, Mars; Capricorn Ketu.

He apparently looks normal with no physical deformations but his behaviour 1

resembles with that of a boy of six yr only. 3 Rah 4 12

His IQ level is very low and is an example 2' . of a moron. He has studied upto IV 5 11 standard and he has taste for music. He has 8 Sun Mer no power to earn money. 4/5th lords are Nep 6 10 Ket

powerfully aspected by Satum and Rahu. Jup 7 9

Both Sun and Moon are not aspected by Ven Plu Mar Mon

divine Jupiter. The significator of mind Moon is placed in the 8th house with Mars and is hemmed between malefics. All these evil astrological yogas made him a moron. His Aries is Deha; Scorpio = Jeeva. He opened his life with cancer dasa for 4yrs. Since its lord Moon has moved to 6* house from its natal position and is hemmed between malefics the dasa produced worst results for him. Afflicted Moon in 84, hemmed between malefics ruined his mental faculty, made him a moron of the society.

Example 83. Turned lunatic for depression : DOB 21-3-1977/ 4=55AM/Dhanbad. Aquarius Lagna, Mars; Pisces Moon, Sun, Mercury; Aries Ketu, .Venus (R), Taurus Jupiter; Cancer Saturn (R); Libra Rahu, balance Merc 12y 2m 18d

When 9th house/9th lord are weak, everything evaporates in air. He passed X Mer Sun Mon · 10 in 1993, became a Gem Technician in a |Ven 12

1 9 Gems Institute Noida in 1996. After two Ket Mar

yrs at the end of 1998; he was caught by the Jup 2 8 Nep security guard for stealing a small piece of 5

diamond (about 30 cent). Infant and Ura

retrograde planet Venus in the 3rd house 3 4 6 Rah Plu with Ketu proved very inauspicious for Sat

him (Venus-Venus dasa). Dasa of retrograde planets are never good. He resigned his job and started

(315)'

reading XII, then B:Com from IGNU. He almost completed his B.Com but could not pass one paper in the last semester. He lost all interest in life and did not like to pursue further studies. He locked himself in a single room of the father and lives only by drinking milk. He refuses food. He does not listen to anybody. Moon-Mercury combination in a watery sign hemmed between malefic provided him a demonic nature. Dasa of retrograde 9h lord afflicted by Ketu and Saturn ruined his life. He became lunatic during Venus-Sun dasa. Antardasa of Sun is highly malefic for 90% persons on this earth. His Sun, Moon, Mercury are all hemmed between malefics and not aspected by any benefic planet. Their dispositor Jupiter is placed in the enemy camp and, is aspected by Mars. 6/8 relation of Saturn and Mars, 2/12 relationship of 5/9 lords added fuel to the fire. Union of accepts of Saturn + Mars in 8th surfaced scandals in life

Example : 84 A case of Lunacy of a brilliant boy : DOB 5-06-72 /10:30 PM/Agra. Capricorn Lagna, Rahu; Pisces Moon, 2-9; Taurus Saturn, Mercury, Sun; Gemini Mars, Venus ®, cancer Ketu; Virgo Uranus, Pluto; Sagittarius Jupiter (R) He is the son of Major General and was born in Savya group A 4* Qtr with balance Jup

30y 6m 13 d. He opened his life. with 11 12 8 Nep Vrishchika 2y-6m-13d. Sagittarius, Rah

Capricorn, Aquarius passed away 1 1 peacefully. As soon as Pisces dasa started he grew lunatic in 1992. In 1991 he was Sat Plu 6 admitted in DCE, Delhi. He passed the 1# Mer 2 Sun 3 5 Ura

yr. From 2nd year his behaviour became Mar Ven

abnormal. With naughty boys . he was found in the cremation grounds trying to do Sadhana on corpses. Some how he continued his college, finished final yr also, but he could not clear 10 papers from 2nd yr to 4t yr, He is sitting idle at home, writing the results of imaginary sensational discoveries, and sending e-mails to

(316)

hundred of places with his half baked theories which nobody likes to buy from him. Why he grew lunatic? His Deha = Cancer, occupied by Ketu, Pisces is Jeeva, where we find his Deha lord Moon. Placement of Deha lord in Jeeva sign curtails longevity and it is accepted with fear. If Deha and Jeeva sign lords make any relationship a great calamity in life is sure to follow. Deha and Jeeva lords are placed in mutual quadrants, which also became evil for him. Meen dasa ruined him completely, because the dasa lord is retrograde, is placed in the star of Ketu and is hemmed between Rahu and Neptune. He tried to commit suicide on 6- 5-2006, by touching 22,000 Volt live wires (Mercury-Jupiter(R)- Venus (R) dasa), but he was thrown away and was saved by a Railway person. In Vimsotori system he was born with 12th lord Jupiter's dasa with the balance 1 yr-4m-29d. When anybody starts his life with 8/6/12th lord's dasa, he faces extreme hostility on the road to success. As soon as Mercury dasa (combust) started, he lost his mental balance. His 10th and 11t lords are conjoined together and hemmed between malefics. Both 4th and 5* lord are placed in the 6th hemmed between malefics. All these unfortunate yogas ruined his life cordately. God did not allow him to earn any money. When 9* house/9th lord are weak, everything evaporates in air. His 9h lord is a combust planet and is afflicted by Saturn and Rahu. 9th house is occupied by Uranus and Pluto aspected by Mars and Rahu. I strongly believe Saturn-Mars combination in the 12th house of his father (14-10-1947, 3-00PM-Balia) ruined his prospect in life. 12t is actually 8th from 5th. There is a Karmic connection between son and father. Even well qualified Doctors of the 21" century throughout the globe are helpless in front of such dangerous diseases. Can anybody cure him?

AIDS AND OTHER SEX DISEASES

There is still no cure for AIDS (acquired immune deficiency syndrome), nor there is a special diet for people infected with HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) that causes the disease. Mushroom can fight against AIDS successfully. One should avoid alcohol. Well

(317)

cooked meat, poultry, eggs, milk, nuts and other high calories protein foods canprevent weight and muscle loss. In 1981, a mysterious disease that came to be known as AIDS, cut a deadly swathe through San Francesco, USA. People showing AIDS, symptoms were kicked off commercial aero planes and some funeral homes wouldn't handle the bodies of those killed by this highly infectious diseases. At least 100 million people perished between 1981- 2006, throughout the globe. In 2006, 1800 HIV related death are found daily in San Francisco, This disease is most prevalent in South Africa and India also. AIDS might spell a loss of over 20 million in the next 20 yrs in India alone. According to Times of India dated 23-11-2006, about 40 million persons are suffering from AIDS globally. There are 11,000 infections world wide every day. The number of reported HIV/AIDS cases in China has grown by nearly 30% in 2006. the virus seemed to be spreading form high risk groups of the general public. People selling blood illegally or receiving infected blood accounted for 5.1% it added. AIDS is such a sex disease nobody like him, including doctors, nurses, graveyard person. He is deserted by all and once HIV test becomes positive, the native is sure to die within 2-3 yrs., there is almost no medicine for recovery. Certain foreign substances, virus or bacteria known as antigens when find way two our system they pose health problems. As soon as some virus enters our body, the blood produces anti-germ (antibody). The principal antibodies are immunoglobulins. This protective mechanism by virtue of which a body resists the invasion of foreign micro-organism is known as immunity or defence mechanism is normally known as immunity which means relative resistance to an infection. This immune system is of two types,' cellular immunity produced by the B-Imphocytes or humeral immunity from antibodies produced by T-lymphocytes. In other types of viral infection such as hydrophobia, pox, polio virus, the defence mechanism of T-lymphocytes grabs the infection and destroys it. Side by side, antibodies are produced in the form of B-lymphocytes so that particular disease due to the relative virus does not strike the

(318)

system again. In the development of methods of immunization against poliomyelitis, Jonas Salk and his colleagues discovered (1892) that they could take active polio viruses, kill them with formaldehyde (HCHO) and use the killed virus as antigens. Passive immunization depends on the use of antibodies made to another animal. Thus if antigens are injected into a horse, the horse will produce the specific antibodies. The blood serum of the animal, now containing the antibodies, is known as anti serum. Horse serum collected from animals immunized with tetanus toxic may be used to give protection against a potential case of tetanus. The protection is immediate, but is only temporary inasmuch as antibody production by the patient is not involved. The AIDS virus penetrates within T-lymphocytes itself and takes shelter therein and begins to multiply. As a result the defence mechanism of T-lymphocytes completely breaks down and thereby, even a simple disease may take a serious turn. Because of its power of rapid multiplication, the AIDS virus ultimately may in capacitate the defence mechanism. However, it has recently been discovered that when the HIV adheres to the body of T-lymphocytes, a special type of protein, namely, CD+4 can be injected which may arrest the onset of the actual disease. Virulence depends on twp major factors: the ability of the pathogen to invade, spread and multiply in the host, and the toxins (poison) or other ill effects it produces. To be virulent, an organism must be able to invade the tissue and once there, produce toxins, or some other way harm the host. AIDS is such a dangerous disease, even scientists are afraid to carry on researches on them.

Astrological background : AIDS is the outcome of free sexual habits. Venus and Pluto are the sex Gods. Disease in sex organs are to judged from the Libra sign, Scorpio, 7t house and 8* house. When Libra, Scorpio, Venus and Mars are afflicted by Rahu, Saturn, Ketu or 6/8th/12th lords, along with afflicted 7"/or8* house diseases of the sex organs are to be anticipated. Internal structure of the private parts of the body (genitals), anus, liver, kidneys,

(319)

urethra, fallopian tubes, ovaries, vaginal passage up to uterus, spleen are governed by the 8th house. When Mercury is also afflicted, it produces deep ulcers. Venus on its own doesn't give any ailment or disease relating to private parts or any other complaints of health related to sex life. But these days we hear a lot about venereal diseases and fatal sex related diseases like HIV and AIDS in case the individual has conjunction of Mars or Saturn with Venus in the 8t house. However if it is Rahu with Venus in the 8, the ailment would not stay for long and be cured continuity in treatment and preventive care. The illness gets diagnosed at an early stage and chances of cure of the complaint are quite good, quick and easy. In case of illness, ailment or disease or injury or wound created by Saturn and Venus in 8* house, recovery would take longer and would cost substantially. Ketu in 8th house provides indication toward unnatural physical contact with either sex. Study of the horoscopes of gays or lesbians would indicate that at least 50% of them would have Ketu in 8h house (or Rahu). It has been noticed that some people develop this interest at an advanced age, say beyond 45 or so. If Mars, Saturn or Venus be in conjunction with Ketu in 8th, the illness or sex disease caused would take longer to cure and might have a scope of recurrence. Pluto, Ketu, Venus or Mars in 8th house is highly dangerous for AIDS. If Mercury joins deep ulcers would be produced and patient will die soon after infections. 8* house is the house of immunity (Cosmic Influences on & I.Q. by Dr. S.S. Chatterj.ee P115). Controversial group of planets Rahu-Mars, Sun- Saturn, Mars-Venus, Saturn-Mars, Ketu-Venus, Ketu-Mars in 8* destroys the immunity system of the body. The Ascendant should not be under papakartari yoga and it should be aspected by benefics. Strong Lord of Lagna, strong Jupiter, Sun and Moon will provide terrible resistances for fighting any disease. When Sun, Moon and the ascendant lord makes relationship with 6/8/12 lords, one may have a dangerous disease. 6h lord is the worst malefic for the initiation of any disease. In almost all the cases its presence is a must for the initiation of

(320)

any disease. If there is any benefic in 11 * (natural benefic), the native will receive heaven's help for the recovery from any disease. When 1 * house makes any relationship with 6h house /to 6* lord, one may get serious illness. If Mars is debilitated and Venus is also afflicted, the girl may even elope with any person, have sexual relationships with many persons, Mars in Taurus or Libra is also bad and it is difficult to maintain character above suspicion. When the Moon is placed in the 10* house, the lady makes love with many persons. Excess passion arrives for the influence of Mars on Venus. Rahu and Satum in the 8th house might lead an individual to connection with a male or female prostitute. These two dangerous planets encourage the individual towards unconventional sex activity. Rahu in 8th house delays speedy recovery from any injury, wound, illness, diseases and tries to leave an impact on the mind of the individual. Ketu, Saturn in 8h leads a sexual wound, septic or formation of gangrene and in comparison to Rahu, makes recovery very much delayed and expenditure oriented.

Aphorisms of disease in sex organs: a) If Rahu or Ketu is in conjunction with lord of Ascendant, Moon and Mercury in one house, the native will suffer from venereal disease.

b) If Moon is in conjunction with a malefic, when his Navamsa falls in Cancer or Scorpio, the native will get a disease of genitals. c) If Satum is in conjunction with Sun in a Kendra of Mars, aspected by the Moon and Venus, the native will get disease on genitals.

d) . If a very weak Jupiter in conjunction with a malefic in 12 house, the native will get disease on the genitals.

e) If the Venus in conjunction with malefics and if Rahu or Ketu occupies the 8* house, the native will get venereal disease. Example 85. Uterus removal :. DOB 30-6-1958, 7=00AM Delhi. Cancer Lagna; Virgo Jupiter; Libra Rahu; Scorpio Saturn (R) Moon;

ROLE OF VENUS IN DEFORMITIES AND LOCOMOTIONS

It is a very unfortunate incident to lose an organ during life time. Of course some people are born blind, deaf, dumb with crippled legs and other hundreds of bodily defects. Map of heavens erected at the time of birth, do speak about the future incidents of life. The author is astonished to observe the accuracy of golden subtle rules (without providing any rationale) framed by sages of yore even in 2007 AD. Many big people in history have suffered from bodily defects. Raja Yogas lift a man to a dizzy heights, whereas Duryogas force the native to suffer at the hands of destiny. During world war lI Roosevelt was the president of whole earth. There is nobody who can challenge him. Every nation head has to bow his head in front of him. Such a mighty man suffered at the hand's of destiny. Is it not surprising? (See example 88). Our body lustre is governed by Venus. Nehru, Dr. Rajendra Prasad, First President of India, Mahatama Gandhi had Venus in Libra. When Venus is posited in the star of 1,3,8,15 and 27 Nakshatra Raja Yoga is formed. Such persons are lucky (by Sukrachaya in his Bengali Book, Horoscope Analysis P 106). They hardly receive any mutilations of the body. Rajeev Gandhi had Venus in Leo Lagna in the star of Sun, hemmed between malefics, conjoined with Jupiter, Moon, Sun and Mercury. On 21 -5-1991, his body was blown to pieces. The significator

(322)

of loss of limbs Saturn was aspecting Venus from Gemini. Mahatma Gandhi was assassinated because his Venus was in direct aspect of 6th lord Jupiter (enemy), in conjunction with Mars and 12h lord Mercury hemmed between malefics. So it is understood, Venus-should never be placed under papakartari yoga for haying a charismatic outlook throughout life. Rajiv Gandhi is the only VIP in the memory of history who lost all the limbs. Aspect of Satum on Venus hemmed between malefics proved too costly for him. Kal Sarpa Yoga is a Duryoga. When most of the planets are hemmed between malefics, Duryoga is to be anticipated. According Uttar Kalamitra (chapter V, sloka 18), among - other important significations like marriage, power, beauty, music, good looking eyes, pleasant movement or walking and well proportioned limbs are attributed to the Venus. Venus should be strong with no malefic influence, if One is to be blessed with either of these lost two significations. Remember how elegantly Nehru, Rajender Prasad, John Kennedy roamed on this earth for their strong Venus. Gandhiji used to walk very fast for his strong Venus. Venus is the 2nd/7th lord of the zodiac and hence has the highest killer instincts. Venus will always try to harm the native when he gets any opportunity. On account of this reason Venus Saturn or Saturn Venus dasa is peculiar to about 95% persons on this earth. Venus makes a person suffer with worst malefic effects if connected with 6,8,12* or Badhaka lords. Rajiv Gandhi's 6h/8/12th lords were in conjunction with 3rd/10th lord Venus is Leo Lagna. The loss of limbs may occur during Saturn-Venus or Venus Saturn dasa when they are placed in 1-3, 6-8, or 2-12 positions. Sagittarius is the seat of limbs in natural zodiac and 9th house also rules the same. When Sagittarius; 9th house and its lord are afflicted, they also cause loss of limbs. In almost 99.9% cases, I have found that in the case of loss of limbs, Sagittarius (lord is Jupiter, is the ruler of happiness) is invariably found to be afflicted. So affliction of Sagittarius is a must for the loss of limbs. Venus-Jupiter conjunction, Gaja Keshasri yoga, Jupiter aspected by a natural benefic will not allow deformation. Jupiter is the lord of happiness, when he is strong, there is least possibilities of

(323)

mutilation of the body. In case of Rajeev Gandhi, who lost all the limbs, his Sagittarius was in opposition to Saturn from Gemini. Saturn and Ketu are two major planets of afflictions of which are mainly responsible for deformities. 2"d/6th/10th houses and ; Taurus/Virgo/Capricorn rule flesh and bone. Affliction of these houses and lords of 2nd/6*/1'0th houses also produce deformities. 2nd house Taurus rule the right leg, Pisces and 12* house rule the left leg; Gemini/3"4 house rule the right hand, Aquarius/11th house rule the left hand. Any relation of them with combination of defonr 'ties may produce the sad moments of life. When Moon-Ketu occupres the 8* house in addition when Saturn occupies 2nd, 4* or 12* house, there are chances of major surgery or amputation of a limb of the body.

Aphorisms of deformities :

1. According to Jataka Parij ata if in a horoscope, the Moon is in 10t, Mars in the 7t, the Sun in 2nd the native will be defective in some limb. 2. . According to Jataka Tattwa, if Mars is in the Ascendant and is aspected by Saturn and Sun, the native will be defective in some limb. .. 3. According to Jatakalankara, if malefics occupy the kendras, the native will have some defective limb: 4. According to Jataka Parijata, if he Ascendant falls in the last navamsa of Capricorn and Lagna is aspected by Sun, Moon and Satum the native will be dwarf. 5. According to Jataka Parijata, if malefics occupy the 9 . 11th 3rd and 5 houses are notaspected by benefics the native will be deaf. In this yoga 3"4 and 11* rule ears and the power of hearing. The significators of deafness are Mars and Jupiter. Affliction to them causes deafness. 6. If malefic planets Sun, Moon and Saturn occupy. the 9* and 11th and are not aspected by benefics, the native will be deaf ..

(324)

7. According to Jatakalankara a) If both Sun and Moon be in a Kendras, then the defect may be in the limbs near the loins or the buttocks b) If Saturn should aspect Venus in the Ascendant, then also the same thing occurs. 8. According to Dr. B.V. Raman, if the 2nd lord accompanied by Jupiter is in the 8th from Lagna, the native become dumb. If any one of these planets occupy his exaltation or own house, the yoga is nullified. 9. According to Sarvartha Chintamani if the 20 lord conjoined with Mercury and Rahu is in the 6* from the Ascendant or 2"d lord has conjoined with dispositor of Mercury and Rahu, the native is attacked with a disease of palate and ultimately becomes dumb; 10. According to Jataka Parijata if the malefic plaents Saturn, Mars and the Sun occupy the last portion of Cancer, Scorpio or Pisces, one will be dumb. If only two malefics occupy the above houses, there will be very little speech; if only one malefic occupies such a portion of the chart, there will be slow or stammering speech. In this rule, the Moon must have a malefic aspect, but if the Moon has a benefic aspect, the child will begin to speak later than usual. In this Yoga, dumbness means losing power of speech. Speech is denoted by the 2nd, 5* houses and the significator is Mercury, 11. According to Jataka Parijata, if the ascendant be Leo and the Sun and the Moon occupying it, are aspected by Saturn or Mars, the native will have no sight in the eyes. If Lagna receives benefic aspect, the native's eyes, will be bulbous without any light. If Moon occupies the 12thhouse, he will have the left eye hurt and if the Sun occupies the 12*, the right eye will be hurt. If benefics aspect the Sun and the Moon in the yoga, the evil effects will not happen. 12. If one of the 12th and 6* houses be occupied by the Sun and other by the Moon, both the native and his wife will have one eye. 13. According to Dr. B.V. Raman if Mercury and the Moon should in

(325)

the 20d or the lords of Lagna and the 2nd should join the 20d with Sun, the native will have defective eye sight or he will be born blind. If the lords of 10th and 6* occupy Lagna with the 2nd lord or if they are in Neechamsa, the above yoga is caused. The native loses his eyesight. This combination makes one blind sometime in life, 14. According to Jataka Parijata : If Saturn and Mars are in house owned by Mercury or Mercury Navamsa, the child born will have teeth by birth. If Moon in the dark half occupies 7h Mars in Lagna or in the Navamsa of the sign in the Lagna and the Moon of the dark half is with the Sun, the native loses both arms and feet. 15. According to Dr. B.V. Raman, the native's hands will be cut off if: a) Saturn and Jupiter should be in 9* and the 3rd house b) by the disposition of Saturn and Jupiter in the 8* arid 12th house c) by the presences of Moon in the 7th or 8* in association with Mars. d) by the conjunction of Rahu, Saturn and Mercury in the 10'h. In the yogas, it looks for more reasonable to assume that the result ascribed to yoga can happen only when involved planets are highly afflicted and occupy cruel shastiamsas (1/60 divisions). 16. According to Sarvartha Chintamani if the lord of the 12h house is weak, situated in a malefic Navamsa or in the Navamsa sign of its debilitation or in its sign of debilitation, the native loses one of his limbs. 17. If there are many malefics in the 12h house, and the lord of 12th . house is with Saturn, Gulika and Rahu the native gets one of his limbs impaired. Example 86. Loss vision of the right eye : DOB 16-11-1977/11- 30AM/Haridwar. Capricorn Lagna, Moon; Leo Saturn, Virgo Rahu; Libra Venus; Scorpio-Sun, Mercury, Gemini Jupiter(R), Cancer - Mars

Moon and Sun are the giver of lights in he eyes. Venus is the overall in charge of eyes. Venus is heavily afflicted by Saturn and Mars. None of

(326)

the luminaries are aspected by Jupiter. Right eye is controlled from the 2nd house, which is spoiled by the joined aspect of 11 9 Sun

Ket 12 8 Mer Mon Saturn and Mars. Wherever the forces of Nep

10 1 Saturn and Mars concentrate on a house, 1 7 Ura Ven

the house suffers annihilation. His Venus 4

Plu is hemmed between malefics. Sagittarius Mar 2 6

is squared by Rahu-Ketu axis. While he 3 Rah Sat was passing Moon-Venus dasa, somebody Jup

threw a stone on his right eye. He lost vision of this eye completely. Afflicted sub lord Venus in the star of Rahu, did not spare him. Venus is the Yogakaraka for his lagna. Afflicted Venus produced the permanent sad memory in his life. All the loss of limbs yogas arc visible in his horoscope. One should be very careful during the dasa, antardasa of malefic Venus, afflicted by Mars, Saturn, Rahu, Ketu, 6th/8th/12th lords. Venus hemmed between malefics is the worst, in causing damage to limbs. He is an MC A now andis employed in Banglore (2006).

Example 87. Loss of both legs: DOB 9-7-1963 at 19h 20m Colombo. Capricorn Lagna, Saturn (R), Moon; Pisces Jupiter; Gemini Mercury, Venus, Sun, Rahu; Leo Mars; Sagittarius Ketu.

During the dasa of Jupiter-Sun in Aug 3 5

Mer Ven Mar 1998, in a tragic car accident he lost both Sun Rah

the legs. Leg is controlled by the Taurus and 2"d house. The lord of Taurus Venus is afflicted. 20d house is aspected by Mars and Rahu. Pisces/12* house controls the left leg. Pisces is

(327)

squared by Rahu-Ketu axis, Mars and Saturn aspect Pisces. 12h house is occupied by Ketu. All these unfortunate combinations forced him to lose both legs in a tragic accident. When Kendras of 6* lord are occupied by Rahu, Ketu, Saturn the native suffers from many litigations in life. God writes a sad episode about a person whose Jupiter is found weak in the birth chart. His Jupiter is very weak because it squared by Rahu-Ketu axis aspected by Mars and Saturn. Joint aspects of Mars and Saturn can annihilate any planet or house where they concentrate. Afflicted 3rd house robbed him communication skill through locorotion. Example 88. Wheel chaired President Roosevelt of USA : DOB 30-1-1882/20hrs, New York. Leo Lagna; Scorpio Rahu, Capricorn Sun, Venus, Aquarius - Mercury, Aries Jupiter, Saturn, Taurus Ketu, Gemini - Mars (R) Moon. He had Leo Lagna. Yogakaraka Mars is Mar Sat posited in the house of Mercury in its own 6 4 star in the angle of Moon. His Lagna and Jup 7 3 Rah

Mercury rules the youth. Saturn rules one's Ura 8 2 old age. When these two planets are not Nep conjunct and are separated by about 90 9 1 12 degrees then the young age paralysis is ĮKet 10 Ven Sun Mon distinct possibility. His Saturn and Mer

Mercury are about 70 degree apart. Hence he was caught by young age paralysis. Saturn Rahu dasa between 14-3- 1920 to 20-1-1923 proved fatal for him. He had to spend the rernaining years of his life confined to the wheel chair. Saturn Rahu dasa or Rahu Saturn dasa is bad for 95% persons of this earth. The dispositor of Moon, Mercury in the star of yogakaraka Mars proved very very auspicious for him. He enjoyed Mercury Mahadasa between 2-8-1925 to 2-8-1942. He was the President of USA for three consecutive terms during this period of his life. In his chart Ketu, Rahu and Saturn have generated Neechvanga Raja Yogas. Venus is in the star of Moon, where

(328)

Moon-Mars combination is found in Gemini. Thus Venus was energized by the yogakaraka Mars. Venus is his 10* lord, which elevated him to the rank of President of USA for 12 yrs. His 10 lord Venus is a combust planet and is placed in the 6* and is afflicted by Saturn, Sun, Mars and Ketu. The same Venus in 6* house forced him to stay in wheelchair for the most part of his life because it is aspected by Saturn, Mars and Ketu ruining Venus. All the 9 planets are energized by the yogakaraka Mars. So the planets behaved very very well him. 2n4/11th lord in a Kendra provides guarantee of financial solvency throughout life. Sasi-Mangal yoga in the 11* is an excellent Dhana Yoga. Jupiter Saturn conjunction in 5* or 9* house produce top class intellectuals. 9th lord Mars and 10h lord Venus are inter connected through Yogakaraka Mars.

Example 89. Crushed left leg : DOB 31-3-1972 4=45PM, Muzaffarnagar UP. Leo Lagna; Libra Moon, Sagittarius Jupiter; Capricorn Rahu; Pisces Mercury (R), Sun; Taurus Venus, Saturn, Mars; Cancer Ketu.

to school on the fateful day in March 1977, 10 12 Rah Mer Sun when a truck crushed life left feet. Somehow he survived. He can run motorcycle, and can walk without sticks. His whole left foot was removed as an impact of the unfortunate accident. Venus is heavily afflicted by Saturn, Mars and Rahu. So his body lustre is bound to suffer. 9* house is under papakartari yoga, 9* lord has joined 6* lord Saturn and is further afflicted by Rahu from Capricorn. Sagittarius is

(329)

powerfully aspected by Mars. When the 12* house and its lord, and Pisces are afflicted one's left leg is damaged. 12t lord Moon is squared by Rahu-Ketu axis. Ketu occupies 12* house, Pisces is occupied by retrograde Mercury and Sun aspected by Ketu. A retrograde planet always causes some deficiency of the house wherever it is located its lord Jupiter is afflicted. Pisces is in opposition to Uranus and Pluto. Jupiter in its own house in Sagittarius saved the amputation of the complete left leg. 9* lord and 10th lord have formed a formidable Raja Yoga in Taurus. He has clearly Adhi Yoga. Right leg is controlled by Taurus and 2nd house. 2"lordis aspecting its own house. Jupiter in 5 (4th from 2nd house) saved his right leg. There is an exchange of Jupiter and Sun in Navamsa. Jupiter is placed in the 10h house in Navamsa. Strong Jupiter saved his left leg and allowed him to recover quickly. 6/8 relationships ofkarmic control planets did not allow him to grow well in the society. Somehow he is managing his both ends meet. Afflicted Venus forced him to pay heavy price.

Example 90. Multiple facture in right leg : DOB 26.10.82,19=45, Trivendrunm. Taurus Lagna; Gemini Rahu; Virgo Mercury; Libra Saturn, Jupiter, Sun, Venus; Sagittarius. Mars, Ketu; Capricorn Moon 26-41.

(330)

months for the complete recovery and parents had to cough off 2.5 lakhs in Kailash Hospital. As per KCD, ha has Taurus = Deha and Gemini = Jeeva. He was born in 20d quarter of apasaya B group. Saturn and Rahu were transiting his Deha sign. When more than malefic transits either, Deha and Jeeva sign, an accident occurs provided dasa is also bad. He was passing the fag end of Taurus dasa. Venus is the lord of locomotion. So it brought disasters in life. Apasaya group B persons suffers more at he hands of destiny, because benefic dasa lords generate inauspicious results. FRACTURE OF BONES AND BONE DISEASES

The 206 bones that make up the human skeleton vary greatly in length, structure and hardness. The smaller bones such as those in the fingers, are more or less solid and consist of impact bone. The larger bones of the legs and arms are hollow and contain bone marrow. The spongy bone around the marrow is called cancelous bone to distinguish it from the outer compact bone. Bones contain a surprisingly large amount of water, amounting to 25% of their total weight. apart form this, bone is solid material consisting of inorganic compounds such as calcium phosphate and calcium carbonate, buried in which are living bone cells, Parathyroid glands secrete parathormone hormone. Its function is control the calcium and phosphorus concentration in the body. Too little of the hormone reduces the calcium level and increases the concentration of phosphorous and it is this causes bone to become brittle. In cases where the glands have degenerated as the result of infection, injections of calcium or parathormone (or both) are given. Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn rule of bone. 2n4/6/1 Oh houses from Moon and Ascendant are judged for the strength and weakness of the bones. When the above signs and above houses and their lords are afflicted one suffers from fracture and diseases of bones. Saturn is the significator of all bones. Mars and Sun work for all difficult fractures. Mercury is responsible for the fracture of small bones. Mars refers to the neck, Saturn to limbs, Rahu to feet, Mercuryto the back (all peripheral nerves

(331)

are controlled by Mercury). Taurus and 2"d house control right leg, Pisces and 12* house control left leg, Gemini and 3rd house control the right hand, Aquarius and 11th house control the left hand. When 2nd/6/10th houses from Moon, Aries, Lagna are afflicted along with afflicted Saturn, Sun, Mars and Mercury one may have multiple fracture of bone. 4* house rules the ribs. Ribs are curbed bones reaching from spine to the upper part of the body. 4* house/ cancer control the right part of the body. 10 house/Capricorn control the left part of the body. When the 4* house is hemmed between malefics along with afflicted Capricorn one will have fracture on the left side of the body. When there is a malefic planet in the 6* house and Mars is strong an operation surely takes place in the lifetime of the native. Ketu's influence on the 6* house/ Virgo gives multiple operations.

Yogas for fractures :

a) Moon in Saturn house hemmed between malefics.

b) Sun and Mars in 37d aspectedby Saturn.

c) Sun, Moon, Saturn, Mars in the 5th/8th/9th

d) Saturn in 2"d1, Moon in 4th and Mars in the 10 *.

e) Rahu, Saturn, Mercury in the 10 house.

Fracture of bones occur due to an accident. One may fall down form the tree/roof top, and though speeding vehicles. Somebody may even fall down in the bathroom and can have serious bone injury. When the Lagna, 4* and 5* houses or their lords are centers of stronger malefic influences than the 3rd/9th houses, the native is vulnerable to injuries by speeding vehicles. The 4* house rules vehicles, and 8* house longevity. If these two houses are related then accidents happen while undertaking a journey during the period related to these house. If any, fiery, watery and earthy signs are involved, the accident may be due to air crash, fire or on the ground respectively. Accidents occur generally during the major or sub-periods of planets related to 6t/8/12th houses in a

(332)

horoscope in which 8* house (house of accident) plays a dominant role. The dasa-Bhukti lords are invariably afflicted by transit which is an in failing index to timing of the mishap. In transit when Saturn and Mars together or in different signs when concentrating their force on the 1*/3r4/8th houses or their lords, can strike on unforgettable cruel blow. Accidents occur when'Sun and the Moon are together or in mutual square position or.2/12 or 6/8 position and aspected by a retrograde Jupiter, Mars, Saturn or a node. When in transit Jupiter is strong, unafflicted, direct in motion and casts his trinal aspect on the affliction, no human loss of life is to be feared. The 8th lord with no connection with 3rd house and its lords in the birth chart keeps the life intact inspite of serious injuries in the disaster (for details read "Advanced Predictive Astrology-Vol 11 P 183 by Dr. S.S. Chatterjee). We shall now study a few case histories. All the horoscopes are from the research diary of the author. It must be mentioned here when Sun is the Ascendant lord, which is debilitated or afflicted, then bone will be controlled by Sun (Fortune and Finance by Dr. S. S. Chatterjee P 371). It is well known that Sun in 4*, Mars in 5*, Saturn in 9* lose half strength.

Example 91. Severe pain of bones of a billionaire business man of Delhi : DOB 8-8-1949, 8-37hrs, Delhi. Leo Lagna, Mercury, Venus, Sat; Capricorn Jupiter ®, Moon; Pisces Rahu; Gemini Mars, Cancer Sun.

Here Sun is placed in the 4* house of the zodiac losing half strength, further it is Ket Nep Plu Sun

hemmed between benefics. Because he 6 4 Mar 7 3 has a Leo Lagna, his bones are controlled Mer Ven Sat Ura

mainly by the planet-Sun. This Sun is in 8 2 direct aspect of 6* lord (ruler of diseases) 11

and 8* lord Jupiter. He suffered from .. slipped disc while he is quite young at the 9 1 10 12 Rah age of 20 during Rahu-Saturn dasa. Rahu Mon Jup

in 8* , 6* lord Saturn in Lagna in 6/8

(333)

relationships produced pain in the whole body. This is just the beginning of his sufferings at the hands of destiny. 200, 6* 10* house from Lagna, Taurus; Virgo, Capricorn and the main significator Saturn governs bones (malignant growth, pain, deformities, enlargement, brittleness, dislocation etc). His 2nd house is occupied by Ketu aspected by Mars. 6* house is occupied by 12th lord Moon and retrograde and debilitated 8* lord. Retrograde and debilitated planets cause some deficiency of the houses, wherever they are located. Retrograde 8* lord in 6* produced chronic illness for him. Weak Jupiter did not provide, him recovery power. But this Jupiter forming Gajakeshri yoga, showered money on him in billions betweenT 981 to 1997. He became rich like Lord Kuvera. His two brilliant sons added glory in his personal life. The youngest son received his engineering degree from Perdue University, USA. The eldest son has opened business in Sector-2, Noida in 2005 (construction company). His 10 house is aspected by Ketu and 8* lord Jupiter. 2nd/10th lords are conjoined with deadly 6th/7th lord Saturn. So all these astrological factors brought serious bone disorders for him. Parijata yoga (Lord of Lagna is in 12*, whose dispositor Moon is in 6*, whose dispositor Saturn is in Lagna. So Saturn, Moon and Sun are the Prijata Yoga forming planets. When 10* lord is in trine/angles or in the 2nd house is aspected by benefics a king is born. His 10th lord Venus occupies Lagna and is in own Navamsa. 2nd house is aspected by Jupiter. So we are not surprised to see him as.a very very prosperous man in the materialistic society. Venus in Libra Navamsa brings forth some giants of glory, Lokamanya Tilak, Nobel Laureate, Rabindranath Tagore and Sir M. Vishweshsarya are some such examples where humanitarian principles, social service, "peace- making" nature and balanced views comes to the foremost.

Example 92. Fell down form roof fracture of backbones and left ankle : DOB 22-9-67/2=45AM/Delhi. Cancer Lagna; Leo Jupiter, Venus; Virgo Mercury, Sun; Libra Ketu; Scorpio Mars; Pisces Saturn; Aires Moon, Rahu.

On 4-6-2004 at 6=30AM he went to roof Plu. Jup Ven to check his repairing job and by chance he 3 5 fell down on the ground from a height of Mer 6 Sun 2

about 20 feet. He was passing Moon- Ura

Venus dasa. Upto 3-6-2004 he enjoyed Ket Nep 7 I Rah Mon A

Moon Venus Rahu dasa. So the accident took place during the pratanyardasa Mar 8 12 Sat

Jupiter his 6* lord. Venus is a badhada 9 /11

lord for Cancer Langna people. It is very easy to identify the bad period of life through the eyes of KCD. He was born in Savya group A, 3rd Quarter Deha - Taurus, Jeeva = Gemini. He was bom with Taurus 3yr-5m-14d dasa Gemini and Tanrus passed away peacefully. He was passing Aries dasa from 6-3-1996. Saturn and Mars were transiting Jeeva sign oh the fateful day. Moon was in Sagittarins 1°30' on 46-2004 at 5:30 AM. Whenever more than one malefic transits though Deha or Jeeva sign an untoward incident occurs in life. This as sure as the sunrise in the east. Since the Dasa lord has moved to 8* place from its natal position, the accident occurred. Any planet which moves to 3/6/8/12 from its natal position will invariably bring some untoward incidents in life. An incident occurs when a planet changes sign, gets retrograde motion or gets combusted, or eclipsed in transit. His Taurus is afflicted by the joint aspects of Saturn and Mars. Virgo is afflicted by Saturn and Capricorn in squared by Rahu-Ketu axis, his 10"house is occupied by Rahu. Since Capricorn is squared by Rahu-Ketu axis and 104 house is occupied by Rahu, damage took place in left side. We should be grateful to our sages for the development so many golden rules for the benefit of mankind.

Example 93. Left Leg fracture from a motorcycle accident : DOB 16-8-1974, 8=10AM, Kolkata, Virgo Lagna; Scorpio Rahu; Aquarins Jupiter ®; Taurus Ketu; Gemini Saturn; Cancer Moon, Sun, Mercury, Venus; Leo Mars. I know him form his childhood. He had multiple operations. He

(335)

suffered from Jaundice in 89 July for 3 Ura Mar weeks. Jupiter isretrograde in the 6* hous squared by Rahu-Ketu axis and aspected Rah Mer 8 4 Mon Plu Sun by Mars. Weak Jupiter always produces Nep Ven diseases of liver. In Sep 89, his 9 Sat 12 appendicitis operation took place. His Virgo is aspected by Ketu, Gemini is 10 2 Ket

hemmed between malefics. Significator 11 Jup of appendicitis Venus is also hemmed between malefics. He suffered during Saturn-Jupiter dasa in 1989. in July 1994 he met a motorcycle accident during Mercury-Venus dasa, Both these planets are placed in the 11* house, hemmed between malefics. 11 lord and planets in the 11th house produces many diseases, and this is as per views of great astrologer R. Santhanam. Venus is the lord of locomotion, Saturn is the significator of limbs. Saturn in the 10th house aspected by divine Jupiter protected his legs. Pisces and the 121h control the left leg. Pisces is aspected by Saturn and Mars. Its lord Jupiter is placed in the 6* in direct aspect of Mars. 2nd/6/10th houses.of the zodiac are afflicted by Ketu. So fracture yogas were latent in the horoscope. He was born in Apasaya group B 1" quarter. Deha = Scorpio and Jeeve = Pisces. It is always better that the lords of Deha and Jeeva signs are not associated in any manner when one of them is a dire malefic like Mars or Saturn. If these are conjoined together or exchange aspects, a great calamity is sure to follow. He opened his life with balance 6yrs of Gemini dasa. Taurus ruled him between Aug 1980 Aug 1996. Taurus is occupied by Ketu. Dasa of any sign occupied by a node produces grief in life. Its lord has moved to 3rd place from its natal position and henceproved very inauspicious for him. Any planet which moves to 3/6/8/12 from its natal position will produce inauspicious incidents. He suffered on physical grounds and failed to continue his engineering studies in Maharastra. He dropped out of the college in the Pyear.

Rahu-Ketu dasa started from 13-3-71. As per KCD he was born inApasavyagroupA l"quarter. Sagittarius = Jeeva and Cancer=Deha. On the fateful day he was at the fag end of Aries Dasa. Since its lord is retrograde it proved costly for him: He was:bed ridden for 7 months. Taurus dasa governed him between 13-8-1971 to 13-8-1987. 1974he had operation for Glucoma on the left eye and again in 1974, he had same operation on the right eye. Rahu Venus dasa produced operations in the eyes. Rahu is in the 12, Venus is in his 2nd house, both these houses indicate eyes. During Jupiter-Saturn he came to Noida and acquired much property in Delhi (Vasundhara Enclave,. border town of Noida) and also in Kolkata. Strong 8* lord helped him to prosper high in life. His Jupiter is the 5th /8* lord. It is severely afflicted by Saturn and Mars. Jupiter provides recovery power. In 2007, "he looks like a 80 yrs old man, who can hardly manage his business activities. In 2000 AD he lost his wife. 7* lord is hemmed between malefics, 7* lord in 11th is a divorce yoga. Significatorof wife Venus is debilitated. The house of Venus is afflicted by Saturn. Horoscope of Chart 93 is his only son. Jupiter's dasa granted

(337)

huge prosperity because it is in the angle of 9* lord Mars. Any planet in the angle of 9* lord produces excellent results.

SPEECH AND HEARING DEFECTS

To enjoy one's life one should have perfect ears/eyes and perfect education. If one is born deaf, he is bound to be dumb or mute. It is a curse in life to be bom as blind, deaf and dumb. Build in skin, in muscle, and in the various tissues arid organs of the body, our sensory receptors of many kinds (heat,cold, taste, pain, smell, vision. and pressure, touch). Those in the outer parts of the body and receiving ir formation about the outside world are referred to as exteroceptors; thos e within the body and receiving information about the interior of the body are interoceptors. All the various types of receptors are alike in that they translates stimulous of some kind in to electro chemical nerve pulses. The nervous system is working at a rate equal to that of a large computer operating at maximum capacity. It would be no exaggeration to say that millions of sensory are transmitting billions of sensations per second. The eyes alone are receiving stimuli in 75 to 100 million photoreceptor cells, and further stimuli are being received by ears, nose, mouth and other body parts. Without this flood of information to the brain and nervous system a man would be totally unaware of his environment, would be unable to speak, hear, see, taste, smell or feel anything and he would also be unaware of the position of his limbs in space. Speech and tastes are controlled by tongue: We have read about an accident in a Paris tunnel, where princess Diana died, some unknown person cut off the tongues of the aliwe parsons spotted after the accident, so that they cannot tell anything about the accident (tongue is controlled from the 2ªd house and Mercury). So anything defect found in defecting speech, is the work of the defective tongue. Hearing is an interpretation by the brain of the impulses arriving from nerves supplying the ear, an organ designed to respond to vibrations transitted chiefly through the air. If we do not hear, we cannot speak. So hearing and speaking channels are interlinked with each other. The human ear occupies three cavities in the skull known as the outer.

(338)

middle and inner ear chambers. Sound waves entering the outer canal cause the tympanum and bony ossicles to vibrate. These vibrations in turn produce pressure waves in liquids containing in a spirally coiled tube of two and a half turns known as the cochlea. Nerves from the cochlea carry impulses to the brain, which then interprets them as sounds. Human body mechanisms are too much complicated in nature. The children who are born deaf will have problems of expression. They cannot speak unless special attention is paid to this aspect. Hearing loss retards the process of learning. They feel isolated and may develop psychological complexes.

Astrology of deafness:

3"* house is the house of communications. 3rd house of the zodiac is Mercury. It governs one's intelligence faculty. So benefic aspect on 3rd house/3"d lord, Mercury indicates a strong and healthy hearing mechanism. A strong Mercury under benefic influences indicate a strong and healthy hearing mechanism. Affliction indicate the reverse. The 3" house arid 3rd lord indicate the right ear, the 11t house and 11* lord indicate the left ear. Benefic influence on 3rd house/3" lord, 11h house/11th lord indicate the sound health of the ears. To be fortunate enough in life one should have a benefic in the 11t house. Benefics in 11 and benefics in trines/quadrant saves a man from rnany litigations in life. Strong lagna and its lord offer strict resistances in the initiation of diseases. Ascendant is deemed strong when it is aspected by its own lord, Venus, Jupiter, or Mercury. These planets in the Ascendant also provide good health. The benefics and strong planets in the quadrants and trines from the ascendant increase the strength of the; ascendant. Strong malefics in trines/especially in quadrants cause the ascendant to decay or suffer loss of strength and therefore loss of health. The presence of Gajakeshani yoga, Parijata Yoga, Pancha Mahapursh Yogas, Adhi Yoga, Vasumati Yoga, Mudrika yoga add to. the general strength of the horoscope and therefore promote good health. Yogas for disease of ear : a) If 20d or 5th or 9* or 11 * houses are occupied by malefic

(339)

planets, without being aspected by benefic planets, the native will have deafness. Malefics in 3/9 axis would afflict the right ear and 5/11 axis would damage the left ear. b) If 2nd and 6* lord be in conjunction, Mars and Gulika occupy the ascendant, the 6* 8* or 12t houses, the native's ears will be operated. c) Mars of Rahu with malefic in 3rd house. d) For Aries Lagna if Mercury is combust e) Mercury in the 4* house from Saturn and 6* lord in 6/8/1 2* house. f) 6* lord and Mercury in the 6* house under the aspect of Saturn. g) If the 6* lord and Mercury in 4* house and Saturn in the Ascendant.

Yogas for defective speech : a) 2nd lord and Mercury control our speech. If the 2nd lord is located with a benefic planet and situated in quadrant or trine or is in the sign of exaltation, is well aspected arid in the company of a male planet, the native is a great speaker with logical speaking power. If the 2nd lord and Jupiter are placed in the 8*, the native will be dumb b) 2nd lord in any dusthana with 4* lord c) 6* lord in the Ascendant under the influence of, malefics d) Sun, Moon, Satumn in 3"4/5t/7"/or 9* without benefic aspect.

Children born deaf and dumb:

The 8* house represent incurable or chronic or lingering illness. Deaf and dumb persons are unfortunate performs devoid of mentionable good yogas in their horoscopes. When 9* house and its lord are weak and afflicted, everything evaporates in air. When trines/quadrantsare not influenced by benefic planets and 8* house/8th lord are afflicted, one suffers from chronic disease. Our immunity system is controlled by the 8* house. For a child be born deaf (and eventually becoming dumb). 3rd house/3'9 lord must show affliction. 8* lord may have association with the 3rd house/3rd lord. It has been found that Rahu-Ketu axis involves the 3rd house/3rd lord or lies in the 20d/12th from them (AM, April 1994P 349). We shall now study a few case histories.

Example 95. Born deaf and dumb : DOB 6-5-1966, 1=33 AM, Kolkata. Aquarius Lagna; Pisces Venus, Saturn; Aries Mercury 0°1,4', Mars, Sun; Taurus Rahu; Gemini Jupiter, Scorpio Moon 3-56, Ketu.

This is the horoscope of an unfortunate woman. Both Sun and Moon are afflicted. Ven Sat

Mars is the bitter enemy of Mercury. For increasing the woes, the 3rd house is hemmed between malefics. There is a contact of 8* lord in the 3rd house and the Rahu-Ketu axis is placed the 2nd house of 3'd lord Mars. So all the deaf and dumb yogas are visible in her horoscope. She is not a moron for the contact of Jupiter in the 5* house. She can smile, can cook and do household duties. Her mother speaks to her with fingers. Aspect of Jupiter in Lagna has provided her an idol like figure with no voice. We should be grateful tour sages for the development of so many golden rules for the benefit of mankind. In 2007, such babies can be saved easily. Hearing aids are available. Treatment Mar

Saturn, Jupiter; Gemini Moon 18-17; Virgo Rahu. This is the horoscope of Dr. M.L. Kundu, doctorate in physics who worked as a colleague of the author in PDIL, Sindri. Aspect of 8* lord in Lagna reduced his size of personality. 2"d/5h lords have exchanged places. This parivartan has generated a Maha Yoga for him. However the affliction of the 2nd house (with Rahu, Mars and Saturn) and 2nd lord (debilitated) with Mars, produced stammering. Significator of tongue Mercury is hemmed between malefics. This added fuel to the fire. Maha Yoga helped him to settle in life in a very nice manner.

Example 97. Defective right ear : DOB 25-11-1974, 8=30PM, Delhi. Gemini Lagna, Satum (R); Libra Mars, Mercury; Scorpio Sun, Venus, Rahu; Aquarius Jupiter; Pisces Moon; Taurus Ketu. His 6h lord Mars and 5* lord Venus have exchanged places forming evil Dainya Ket

Saturn and is squared by Rahu-Ketu axis. 3"d lord is placed in the 6* (house of disease) with Rahu. Ketu Satum (R) dasa produced problems in the right ear. Dasa of two retrograde planets in 2/12 relationships only produced physical sufferings for him. On account of this reason he dropped out of the school while he was a class XI student. With the hearing aid he is running the business of his illustrious father Sri A.L.Jain, owner of Alpha Publication, New Delhi. Example 98.

Afflicted 3"d lord in 8* did not arrange marriage upto Jan 2007. Her 6* house is occupied by Jupiter (R), Moon and aspected by Venus from 12 . Aspect and occupation of three benefics will act as a upachaya house and should not ruin her life. Her 5th/11th axis is heavily afflicted. I have always observed that whenever 5/1l* axis is heavily afflicted, everlasting dangerous diseases crop up in the body. Her 11t/12th lords have exchanged places forming Dainya yoga. It is an evil yoga and there will be several impediments to their all their undertakings. THALASSAEMIAA MAJOR DISEASE OF BLOOD

Now in India thousands of children are bom with this dangerous disease. All the children remain normal up to 6/7 months, the disorder starts manifesting itself in the form of sluggishness, coupled with paling of complexion and an irritable condition. The infant's body fails to make enough hemoglobin, due to which. regular blood transfusions are required to keep them alive. But each transfusion leaves a substantial residue of iron in the child's body, which can damage the liver, the heart and the other organs. A regular does of DESFERAL, an imported medicine.administered in the body through an expensive

(343)

electronic pump, hence required to be given to remove the excess iron from the body, after the Child turns three. The frequency of Desferal administration and blood transfusion increases as the child grows older. Thalassaemia is a hereditary, dreadful, blood-borne genetic disorder passed down from the parents to child through genes. So match blood groups before horoscope matching for marriage. About 500 millions are affected by this dangerous disease in the beginning of 21" century. It occurs mainly in the Mediterranean countries/In Delhi about 500 children are born each year with this highly dangerous disease. The treatment is very costly. It costs about Rs.20,000/month. Blood the circulatory fluid within the blood vessels is a complex substance. It consists of a fluid portion, the plasma (55%) and various cells and cell products (RBC, WBC and platelets 45% total). Red blood cells contain large amount of hemoglobin, a portion of great importance for carrying oxygen and to lesser extent for carrying carbon dioxide (co2). The chief function of white blood cells is to protect the body against bacteria. The pus that forms in an infected wound in largely white blood cells that have died fighting bacteria. The platelets are much smaller than either RBC or WBC. They contain a substance that play a key role in the clotting of blood. There are 2,50,000 of them in each CC of blood. During the first eight weeks of a pregnancy, RBC are born in the embryo /foetus in the yolk sac within mother's womb. For the next five months, spleen and thymus gland of the embryo take central of the blood forming process. After the birth of a child RBC is formed in red bone marrow and continues up to nearly 20 years, after which RBC is formed only in the hollow spaces of upper end of the largest bones of humans are femur filled with bone marrow. For a normal healthy person, the average life of RBC is 20 days. After that these are destroyed and the iron from RBC gets deposited in kidney, spleen, liver and bone marrow and recycled into fresh hemoglobin in the body. Hemoglobin is made up of two components 1) 'Haem' of iron in the ferrous state (Fe ** ) and 2) 'globin' protein which helps the iron to remain in the ferrous state Globin like any other proteins in the living

(344)

cell is a very complex substance made up of certain number of builder blocks called arhinoacids arranged in a certain sequence. Any change of one or two atoms in the protein molecules produce entirely different substance. The globin protein being the most important component of red blood cells (RBC) consists of two pairs each of alpha (with 141 amino acids) and beta (with 146 amino acids) polycentric chains, the synthesis of which is under the sole control of gene. The cause of thalassaemia is therefore attributed to the abnormal structural in alpha and beta gene. The union of male semen and female ovum give birth to a child. The male carries one x and one y sex chromosomes and the female carries a pair of x sex chromosomes. The affected child inherits one out of a pair of abnormal chromosomes from its father and the other from its mother. Thalassaemia is thus a hereditary, autosomal genetic disorder with 25% recurrence risk in each pregnancy. The symptoms of thalassaemia diseases are 1) Anaemia hemoglobin content less than 10 gm / deciliter; 2) enlargement of spleen, liver and heart by the deposition of excess iron 3) skeletal deformities and decay of teeth due to deficiency of calcium level 4) glandular (endocrine glands) problem causing retarded growth, disturbed pubertal development, diábetes 5) liver related problems such as jaundice, cerosis of liver 6) blackening of skin due to absorption of iron, vitamin C deficiency due to excess iron. Blood plasma is very slightly alkaline and its chemical balance is extremely delicate, if the blood becomes slightly acid, as it does in the event of diabetes, coma and eventual death may result. If the alkalinity increases, as it can with too much deep breathing, a person may lose consciousness. Malfunctioning of kidney bring about a change in the viscosity of blood and consequent increase or decrease of blood pressure. The globulins function as antibodies to deal with foreign and toxic molecules.

Astro Diagnosis of Thalassaemia : Moon and Mars are the significators of blood. Blood is ruled by the signs Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, 4* / 8*/ 12 houses from Lagna, Sun & Moon. Blood in the heart is governed by the sign Leo. Sun gives

(345)

oxygen, Mars gives colour and hemoglobin. Colouring agents are ruled by the sign Scorpio and the planet Mars and Pluto. Composition of the blood is ruled by the sign Aquarius and its lord Saturn. Heart and enrichment of minerals is maintained by Sim, Mars and Jupiter. Blood cerum is ruled by the sign Cancer. Hemoglobin is ruled by the sign Scorpio and Pluto. WBC or leukocytes are called as defender of the body shows endurance capacity and are maintained in spleen, principally it is work of Saturn. Satum afflicted in Virgo produces spleen disorders. When the three hylegs Lagna, Sun and Moon are not afflicted, one does not suffer from any disease .. Our body luster is controlled by Venus. The afflictions of Sun. Moon, Lagna, Lagnalord, Cancer, Scorpio, Pisces, and 4th / 8th/ 12h houses from Moon, Lagna and Sun causes this disease. Mars, Venus. Moon, Sun, Jupiter also should be afflicted. At least two places from Lagna. Moon, Sun and natural Zodiac (4* / 8* / 12* houses) should be afflicted for any dangerous disease of blood since this disease is inherited from parents, therefore 4*, 9* and 10t houses should be afflicted.

Example 99 : DOB 10.08.1966/16:55 Hrs./ Delhi Sagittarius Lagna; Pisces Saturn (R), Taurus Moon 4-53 Gemini Mars, Jupiter, Cancer Sun, Mercury. Venus; Leo Pluto, Uranus; Libra Neptune, Ketu. This is the horoscope of a female who was pulled down by her destiny pattern as soon as Rahu-Saturn dasa dominated her between 03.01.1991 to 09.09.1993. She 10 8 Ket 11 7 was in coma in July 1993. Rahu-Saturn Nep

house and 10* house of the natural Zodiac are afflicted confirming hereditary disease and also confirms her past sins. When 5* /11th axis is afflicted one catches dangerous disease. Her Rahu Ketu axis passes through 5th / 11 * houses. Her Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Sun and Moon are all afflicted Sun and Moon are hemmed between malefics. Since all the hylegs of life are afflicted she died in 1995 during Rahu-Mercury dasa. Rahu-Mercury dasa is bad for 99% persons of this earth. Square position of two planets yielded worst results for her. Exchange of 6*/8* lords added fuel to the fire. In fact 6* /8* lords should be weak in the horoscope. Strong 6* lord increases litigations in life. Since 8* lord is hemmed between malefics, she died at a young age. Example 100 : 20.09.2001 /21:00 Hrs. / Delhi Aires Lagna; Taurus Saturn; Gemini Jupiter, Rahu; Leo Venus; Virgo Sun; Libra Mercury, Moon; Scorpio Pluto; Sagittarius Mars, Ketu; Capricorn Uranium, Neptune.
