Mars Dosha

Mars Dosha

The following is collected from Kavi Kalidasa’s “Jathaka Chandrika”, published by Tanjore Maharaja Sarabhoji’s Saraswathi Mahal Publishing House, Tanjore, Tamil Nadu, India :: translated by ‘Thethiyur’ S Krishnamurthi Satrigal.

When discussing on marriage compatibility of a pair of Horoscopes, the author discusses the Mars ‘effect’ in the Birth Charts of the boy and girl.

In a person’s horoscope, 2,12,4,7, and 8, in these five places, if Mars is deposited in the Birth chart, It is considered as ‘Dosha’. (Even if Mars is posited in Lagna, it is also considered as Dosha). As explained above, if Mars is found in one of those places, he may lose his life partner at a known time. If similar position of Mars is traced in a Sthree Horoscope, she have to bare the loss of husband. The period of that loss will be, if the Planet Mars is positioned in 2,4,7,8,12 in either of the horoscopes, the other will meet the sad end during the Maha Desa of Mars in ether of the horoscopes, or in its Bukthi, in any other Desa period.

The chart prepared at the time of birth of respective members of the couple, if Mars deposited in 12,2, 4,7, 1, 8 in BOTH of the horoscopes (since the Dhosha is balanced) such pair of married couple will enjoy with children wealth and prosperity for a very long time and life to both of them.

There are positions to ‘nullify’ the Dosha, to be found in the individual horoscopes though Mars is positioned as above!

GOD's Whispers: I AM YOU (This is my 100th Post)

I am you

I am the gentle loving whisper, softly speaking words and sounds of comfort to you when you believe that harshness, pain and darkness defines who you are, and you wrap yourself in a blanket of suffering. I am the light which flickers, dances and moves around you, drawing your focus away from the gloom, away from the web of illusion you caught yourself in… finding yourself now laughing in joy as you watch the dance of light, and I remind you who you are.

When tears fill your eyes, I am the comforter who embraces you and gently fill you with my warmth. When you doubt, worry, or fear, and your steps are shaky, unsure of where to step next, I am the voice of intuition which guides you, encouraging you to place one foot in front of the other. I am the trust who moves you through doubt. I am found in your laughter. I am the well of compassion which overflows and spreads through out your world, as you reach out from your heart to the life of another.

When the illusion of judgment is gently put aside by you, it is my breath which blows away the clouds of mist in the heart, in the life of another - are you also found. I am the wonder and awe you feel as you watch the beauty of nature unfold, ever changing … just as you are beautiful and ever changing! I am found in your trust, in your faith, in your kindness, gentleness and passion. When you embrace yourself and others - I am there! When you see through a fear which has bound you in chains for eons - there I am, dancing a dance of pure joy and celebration!

When you lift your heart, your voice, your life, in communication to the Creator… I am there. When you are so afraid, yet still reach out for clarity and truth - I am the one holding you and whispering words of encouragement. When you hear the wind, you hear me speak to you. When you hear the birds, you hear the song I sing to you. When you are frightened and wonder how you can heal the wounds of many, and yourself - I am the lantern which shows you the way.

Sit in a room, so dark. Light a candle, made small by the vastness of the darkness… or so it seems. Watch how the light of one small candle dispels the darkness and allows what has been hidden by the cloak of darkness to now be seen. Magnify that light a million times, and then again … and yet again, until you magnify it seven times.

There in the brightness of that radiance of all there is… I am! I am your soul of love and light. I AM YOU.

Hope this lights up your festive spirits.

The Confusions of Hindus and Root Cause

Hindus over the last 150 yrs have forgotten the difference between advaita and vaishnavite dvaita philosophies. And, Since now-a-days lot of people, don't read originals but read the reviews of shastras and puranas, are reading the review texts written by confused scholars, who doesn't care for the difference between advaita and Vaishnavite Dvaita.

The effect is that the points in the texts seem to be self contradicting, mythical and unscientific. At times, people even claim hinduism accepts everything. It is far from Truth. How can Dharma accept 'all', which Includes blatant Adharma ? It is only 'The Hindus' who (offlate) are accepting everything.

Educated, Upper/Middle class hindus must learn the difference between the Original Advaita and several vaishnavite dvaita schools and review the hindu thought process. They are sure to be surprised. MK Gandhi was a sectarian fanatic of his Suddha-Dvaita school, and misused the pro-independence political crowd to preach his religion (aka sect) without spelling it out, which led to this confusion. His SuddhaDvaita school doesn't believe in rebirth, karma yoga and one same god being in all moving and non-moving(char-achar) beings.

This is something that relates to every facet of life and so every issue of our times.

SuddhaDvaita school doesn't believe in Rebirth, Karma Yoga and One Same God being in all moving and non-moving(char-achar) beings.

Thus every Real Concept of Sanathana Dharma has been accordingly Tampered, Confused and Ridiculed in the minds of hindus by this 450yrs old religion of India called Suddha-Dvaita Vaishnavism.


MK Gandhi ridiculed us saying
When you believe in rebirth - Why don't you die for the thirst of muslim killers carving for 'their' heaven ? Anyway, You believe in taking several more births ?!

His SuddhaDvaita didn't believe in Jnana Yoga and Karma Yoga. It outright declared, We humans are incapable of achieving them in kaliyuga. So, He preached just plead to the enemy or pray to god - But do nothing. Thus, His masochistic socalled satyagraha of fasting, taking baton blows, show the other cheek, etc.
For Suddha-Dvaiti vaishnavites, Death of This life is Moksha. And only prescribed work for life is bhakti and bhajan keerthan - eagerly waiting for death.


He said when you believe in one god in all, Why do you pain/kill the God in the Others ? This is a ridicule of Sanathana Dharma Advaita philosophy. Becoz, in Bhagavad-Gita, SriKrishna said to Arjuna, It is prakriti/body which is the cause of pain and purusha/atma is not the cause - like dust creating itch or acid causing burns or sandal causing coolness to our skins. So, As you clean dust on your body, Clean the world off pain-causing evil people. So that, in the process, their atma is rescued from the itch caused by their body, which is the cause of their evil-behaviour with others. Thus is our age old no first attack principle. Otherwise, Our body shall be considered the real cause of pain.


SuddhaDvaita believes that Moksha means, atma going to paramatma's abode and just sitting beside. and so, atma and paramatma don't merge.

Advaita said it is the same atma living in all bodies. It did not say, All bodies are same. MK Gandhi shamelessly & moronically ridiculed the majority, Advaiti Hindus, asking to spare the real pain causing other body, in the name of not paining the god in the other's body. (while advaita philosophy is that atma cannot be pained, as it cannot be torn by a weapon or burnt or made wet or dried with air.)

More over, SriKrishna said, If at all one can realise GOD/atma in the body, It would be firstly possible to feel/know about the one in their own body. The atma in other bodies can then just be a realisation by inference. So, Arjuna! First ensure the interests of atma/god/dharma in your body, whose existence you are sure about.

So, It is not just about himsa or ahimsa. It is about Sanathana Dharma or Duty for sustainability of the creation and values in society. It is about proper paradigms about life for our future generations, since we are likely to take birth again in this very same world.


Understand the fraud of MK Gandhi - the sectarian fanatic of Suddha-Dvaita Vaishnavism, a Masochistic Religion, found just around 450 yrs back. He was such a fanatic of his religious sect, and preached secularism to all of us.

Any observer of history can understand that dvaita vaishnavite philosophies were founded around 700 AD and got popular by 1100 AD and the downfall of India/hindu kings started around 800 AD and they lost decisively by 1200 AD.

If we the followers of Sanathana Dharma, Ignore Advaita and the fallacies of Dvaita, and just follow Bhakti without believing in Karma Yoga or Jnana Yoga, It will just be a few decades, We will vanish, As we will ignore Jnana & Karma Yoga and so remain ignorant and unprepared to protect ourselves, leave alone practising our Dharmic Duties towards Moksh.

While Dvaita – Advaita difference makes a lot of difference in Inferences, Rebirth or Lack of It make a Lot Of Difference in our decisions and bringing responsibility in our behaviours towards society and life.

Yes! It takes a bit of time to understand the importance of this point, And its relevance to our lives. But I can assure you, It is worth investing that time, as early as possible in your life.

Astrology and Learning it

Astro Knowledge is a gift. There are thousands of combination's, which a trained astrologer... this is where the computers come into play. For each and every step of combination, there is a basis. Some are pointed out by programs. If things are so easy why to have a person read it?

Astrologers have a duty of soothsaying. Not questioning things how and why it happens. Some might work for one, for others it may not.

I agree that Shri Krishnamurti used a mix of systems. There are people whom I knew were practitioners of KP System, stopped as they could not confirm any future events. They have reverted back to Vedic and doing OK.

When friends and family come to me, I used a mixed approach of Vedic, Astakavarga and KP and do feel that I get a divine guidance to pick certain cases to read. Lots of factors influence.

My grandfather was a great Vedic Astro Scholar. What he used to tell was, those who feign in learning astrology, would never learn the secrets. They will not understand and will confuse the others who are interested in it. Those who work in other name, or question with it, will never learn astrology.

I do have the quest, but I do talk to many astrologers and dont get many answers to the level I know.

But I will never question or ridicule the learning approach of others. I will just be a silent spectator and learn a thing or two. It is always better to understand the failures of certain steps and try to get the right ones!
