7th House - Chaste Wife [Pativrata Upakhyana]

 By Sri Chiraan 2009/01/08

• If seventh is hemmed between benefics one will get good wife. 
• If 7th lord 7th house and Venus are strong and aspected by Jupiter one gets devoted wife.
• If  sun is aspected by Venus or mercury ,and 7th lord with Jupiter, the wife will be chaste and virtuous minded
• Seventh occupying quadrant, and in a benefic navamsa the wife will be a paragon of chastity.

Shukamuni once asked his father Shri VedaVyasa, "kindly tell me the most interesting and surprising incident in this world that would bring lots of punya having listened to and destroy all the sins".

Vedavyasa says "oh son listen to the conversation that once took place between a Bramhachari and a Pativrata

Once there was a bramhin named Kashyap,well versed in all the Vedas and neeti. He had the clear understanding of all the shastras and the meaning they conveyed, and and imparted it to many. He was completely immersed in his Dharma, performing agnihotra, pitrukarya atithiseva and meditation of Lord Narsimha .

He had a equally pious and very chaste wife named Savitri, she was very dear to him because on account of  her excellence in household work she had attained the Paroksha Gyana and he was very proud of her. The very brilliant and learned couple lived happily in the Madhyadesha, in a village named Nandigrama.

In the vicinity there lived another bramhin named YagnyaSharma, highly learned in many fields alon gwith his wife named Rohini. Excellently qualified Rohini gave birth to a male child to the happiness of the husband, who, after having a holy bath, performed the jatahasamskara to the child .On twelfth day after the punyavachan, he named him as “DEVASHARMA”

In the fourth month he took him a temple as nishkrama samskara, sixth month he performed annaprashana and by the year end he performed choodakarma. In the eighth year he completed vratabandha. After completing upanayan samskara, devasharma without fault started his vedadhyayan. As he completed his first veda, his father died .

Having lost in grief both mother and son completed the last rites with difficulty. Devasharma in the company of sadhus thought of taking sanyasa and leaving his bereaved mother and after a bath in ganga started living on the banks of the river calmly chanting the japa and vedas. He was living by bhiksha in the nandigrama.

One day as he was drying his clothes, two birds caught hold of his clothes in their beak, Devasharma tried to scare them, they after excreting on the clothes flew away. Bramhin gave an angry glance to the two flying birds, both birds burnt down and fell on the ground.

Devasharma was very surprised at his new found power on account of Vedic study. Completely arrogant of his power, he went into the village still in an elated and excited state of mind.  Slowly he came to Savithri’s house and waited for the bhiksha . Savithri readied for the bhiksha just as her husband came by, she setting aside the bhiksha, offered a seat to her husband and washed his feet with warm water, having satisfied her husband, she came back to Devasharma and offered him bhiksha .

The delay made devasharma angry and he glanced at her angrily , nothing happened , he glanced at her again and again . Savithri smiled and said "oh Bramhin of a short tempered nature, I am not those two birds lying dead on the banks of the river, whom you have burnt down, if you wish for bhiksha kindly take it".

Surprised by her ability to know the things that have happened far away from her house, he started thinking what could have made her amass so much power [shakti], he after accepting the bhiksha, asked her, "oh punyavati, kindly tell me the truth as to how you have the knowledge of things that have happened far away at a distant place from your place of living"

Savithri said "Oh bramhin listen to my words carefully, I am always engrossed in my dharma. For  a woman, service of the husband is only primary dharma [Patiseva] ordained by God. Oh intelligent and learned bramhachari, I am completely devoted to my husband and his well being, I do this as my duty and worship and do not have interest in any other avocation except the means to make my husband happy. I do not get into any act that is not liked by him or not approved by him. Because of my swadharma nishtha, I have the power of knowing things happening all over the world without actually having seen or hearing or reading about them. If you like to know sincerely then I have something more to tell you listen".

"Your father was excellent bramhin living only by unchhavrutti, thus he was most purified being. Having learned from him a Veda and having completed his last rites you have come here. Your mother is alone, unhappy, miserable and widow, instead of looking after her, you have deserted her to come here to fill your belly daily in this village. One who has taken pains to give you a birth, raised you, protected you and took care of you in the childhood, you have shunned such mother in the name of Dharma.

What Dharma will you gain by deserting your mother, drenched in misery and pain of separation of near and dears and roaming in the forests. Since you have ill treated your mother and caused her a pain, you are suffering from bad odour of the mouth. And because you have been taught by a illustrious father, you have acquired the powers of tapasya. But oh sinner, what have you got by killing the birds unnecessarily. Your Tapasya has no meaning

• One whose mother is suffering with pain and unhappiness [dukha], his life is utterly a waste and purposeless.
• One who looks after his mother well with bhakti and vishvas [faith sincerity], his all karmas give good results.
• Those excellent among men, who never transgress mother’s words, are worshipped in this and other worlds.
• So you immediately go back to your mother and take care of her.
• This is only the greatest dharma and tapasya for you.
• YOU LEAVE THE ANGER THAT BURNS SEEN AND UNSEEN THINGS".

After being advised thus by Savithri, Devasharma asked her to forgive him, and further insisted on telling her about "what should constitute his future course of action"

Savithri said "first go and protect your mother from succumbing to grief, perform prayashchitta for killing the two birds and purify yourself. In the next street there is a bramhin named yagyasharma, his daughter will be your wife. If you go to him, he will give his daughter’s hand to you in marriage. Live with her according to the dharma, you will beget a son worthy of your family. You will also live like your father by unchchavratti. After your wife would die, you would take tridandi sanyasa. Having ordained in the yati ashrama and treading truthful path and prayer to Shri Narsimha, you would attain Vishnu Loka. If you believe in my words, kindly go back to your mother”

Devasharma expressing gratitude towards the PATIVRATA, hurriedly went back to his mother and having lead life as predicted by Savithri attained MOKSHA.

For a man born on the earth protecting mother is the greatest dharma and duty [paramdharma]. One who follows and treads  this path of the Dharma, he will cut off the tree named samsara, an  imprisonment due to avidya and agyana, and attain SHRI VISHNU LOKA, thus said Vyasa to Shuka as per Sutas words to Bharadwaj.

7th House - Polygamy

 By Sri Chiraan 2009/01/07

• If there are malefics in second house, seventh house and if seventh lord is debilitated or combust ,one will have three marriages. 
• If seventh lord is exalted in kendra aspected or associated by 10 lord will give many wives.
• 12 and 2 lord in third aspected by Jupiter will give many wives.
• Navamsha lord of the planet, who is navamsha lord of the seventh lord in navamsha if exalted and associated with benefics in Rashi chakra will give 100 wives.
• Lord of the rashi tenanted by second lord in rashi, if its lord in shastiamsha is exalted and itself in gopuramsa then one will marry 200 wives.
• If a strong exchange of seventh and tenth lord and associated with strong second lord will give unlimited wives.

Moon was married to 27 daughters of Daksha Prajapati, Dharma married another 10 of his daughters, Kashyap married 13 daughters of the Prajapati. Kashyap spread the population all over the earth in a diversified forms and species.

Dashrath [Illustrious father of Shri Ram] had three wives. Vasudev [father of Sri Krishna] had 24 wives. Pandu [father of Panadavas had two wives]. Bheemsena had 28 wives. Arjun had 16 wives.

• Sri Krishna had 16108 wives, he remained on the earth for 105 years.
• Sri Krishna had 10 sons and 1 daughter from each of his wives.
• This means he had 1 lakh 77 thousand one hundred and 88 children.
• By logic [if he has spent one day each with one wife to impregnate them] he should spend at least 177188 days/nights just consummating his marriage.
• He married 16100 wives when he was 23 years old. That means till he left earth, he had lived only 365*82=29930 days.
• How can one beget 177188 children in 29930 days from 16108 unless one spends his day and night with 6 of his wives, this way his whole day and night would be spent only among his wives all the 100 years with an average of four hours to each.
• But even this would give him a child of about 1 month old at the age of 105, but contrarily Sri Krishna had all the 177188 children quiet grown up by the time he was 60 years, this makes this feat even impossible.
• Also Sri Krishna was known to have been very close to Pandavas, helping them across many places quiet far away from the Dwaraka, also HE did many other leelas in different parts and finally he is known to have spent full 18 days in Mahabharath war, that makes the count even less. [So the whole feat is humanly impossible]

• So how was that possible.

• Narada rishi had a similar doubt, so he decided to inspect the love life. He went to each of the palace where his each wife was staying, and there he found Krishna living happily merrily in the company of his wife. This surprisingly was same at every of the 16108 palaces, at the same time HE was also found with the Pandavas, exclusively he granted time for his friends and other yadavas. Wherever Narada went he saw Krishna.

• Lord Krishna [Paramatma] is present in everyone’s heart and governs our action.

• He is inside and outside this world [Vaasudev] supporting this universe/creation.

• He is the one who has shown entire bramhanda in his mouth to Yashoda.

• He is omnipotent all pervasive.

• He is infinite with infinite roopas.

• So this feat of having 10 lakh progeny [sons and grandsons] is just infinitesimal compared to what he does in controlling entire Universe. [Jagadoddhara]

7th House - Husband

By Sri Chiraan 2009/01/05

In stree jataka [female horoscopy], the planet in the seventh navamsa or the lord of seventh navamsha decides the quality of the husband. 

• If Sun is in the seventh or sun is the lord of the seventh then the husband will be of  very tender body or quiet spoken, mild man. He will be a very hard worker. [atimrudu, ati karmi].
• If Moon be similarly placed or if seventh house is Cancer in the amsha, the husband will be one who will hanker after other women, he will also look after his wife well, he will be kind hearted soft personality.
• If Mars is present in the seventh house the husband will be very loving towards women, he will be easily given to anger and rash personality.
• If Mercury is in the seventh amsha or Virgo/Gemini is the seventh house then her husband will be a scholar, he will have a good sense of humour, if well placed he may a trader or accountant, when in the amsha of the Venus it will give persons well versed in arts.
• If Jupiter becomes the owner of the seventh navamsha, the husband will be highly educated, blessed with many good qualities, and will have his senses and under control, will never look at other woman .
• If Saturn happens to be lord of seventh then the husband will either be a fool or the age difference between husband and wife will very high. He will be  a old man. If it is Ketu then he will be impotent. If with Rahu he will be already married to someone else.
• If Venus is the lord of the seventh navamsha then husband will be very handsome and will be very fortunate person. He will have excellent attractive features and a pompous style and blessed personality.

Amba was determined to kill Bheeshma, she undertook severe penance to Shiva to be born as man to kill Bheeshma. Shiva said woman cannot be born as man, however he gave her a boon to become the cause of death of Bheeshma. She insisted she wanted to become man. Shiva said she would be assisted in becoming man.

Drupad prayed Lord Shiva for a son, soon Shiva appeared and said a son would be born. But a Drupad’s wife gave birth to a daughter, amused Drupad thought for a while, Shiva’s words cannot be futile, this must be some test of his faith.

So he raised the girl child as a male, he dressed her like a man and even taught her all the warfare and named as Shikhandi. When the child came of age, it was decided to marry the Prince[ss]. So neighbouring Kingdom’s King had a beautiful daughter, her hand was proposed in the marriage. Marriage took place grandly, but later bride  found that groom was actually a woman. Upset she left for her parent’s house. Parent furious addressed Drupad, [Drupad said he has raised as son and Shiva had told HIM that his child is male] and agreed for a Angapariksha or war.

Shikhandi fearing insult to her father that night went deep into the forest, deciding never to return. As she was contemplating suicide with heavy sobbing and cursing her destiny. Tumbur [Gandharva] was passing by, he was cursed by the rishi to become a woman. He was also unhappy. But seeing the plight of the Shikhandi, he offered, he would lend his body [male] to her. But the problem is a female cannot control a male body, [but a male can take a female body and control it and live in it] this is nature’s law. So Tumbur offered to control her body and she be just present in it [Tumbur offered to be present in the manner devils possess the human body]

Thus overnight Shikhandi acquired a male body, she would desire, Tumbur would carry it out for her. She came back to palace, during Angapariksha, in laws were very happy to see a man for her daughter, they scolded her for unusually doubting the groom [handsome gandharva]. Drupad thanked Shiva for a great miracle and happy to see his faith in Shiva honoured.

Shikhandi later became cause for the death of Bheeshma.

Ulupi was a widow of a snake king from Naagloka, she was childless and hence urged Arjun to give her a child [as per her husbands’ wishes]. Arjun initially refused, but later after repeated requests obliged and Iravant was born. As he was born to a widow, he was exterminated from the land of Nagas, Ulupi raised him in Devaloka.

Iravant fought bravely in Mahabharata, while fighting Alamban both used maya to counter each other, at one stage Iravant tooka a form of a huge snake covering entire battle field and challenged Alamban, Alamban then took a form of huge Garuda and killed him. Ghatotkacha killed Alamban to avenge his brothers death.

Sun - Birth of Ashwini Devatas The celestial Twins

By Sri Chiraan 2008/12/07 

Aditya (sun) was born to Aditi, the daughter of Daksha prajapati. Aditya was married to Sangya devi, daughter of Tvashtrva (architect of devatas). Sangya was very beautiful and Sun was very happily living with her. However Sangya finding the heat of Sun as unbearable, one day went back to her father’s house. Father assured that he would reduce the brilliance of his son in-law in due course, but it is not wise of chaste woman to leave their husband. So Sangya returned and carried on with Sun, giving birth to Manu, Yama, and Yami.

But unable to bear Sun’s brilliance, Sangya created her replica, Chayadevi [who resembled her in appearance], went away to forest in Uttara Kuru in the disguise of Mare [female horse]. Chayadevi serving Sun as Sangya (his wife), within one year gave birth to Manu, Sani and Tapti.

However Chaya grew partial towards Sangya’s children and Yama noting this complained to Father. Father showed discern towards Chaya. Chaya out of anger cursed Yama, "You lord over the dead" and to Yami as "You be a river (yamuna)". Sensing mother never curses her child, Sun suspected Chaya. Then He found out the truth and cursed Saturn "You become lame and cruel planet", Tapati to become the river.

Sun out of his Divyadrishti found out Sangya was roaming in the forest of Kuru as mare, he took the form of Horse and lived with her again in the forest. Thus were born two beautiful horses(twins) Ashwini. Bramha came to the forest and appointed the Ashwini as Physicians of Devatas and offered them a boon of being extremely handsome.

Vishwakarma then prayed Aditya and subsequently he reduced his brilliance to accommodate the growth of civilization on the earth.

This story also gives the philosophical reason behind the results of Sun in seventh house. Sun in seventh house invites separation from husband in a woman’s horoscope. Sometimes husband abandons the lady. In some cases lady has to compromise as second wife.

Thus this story of birth of Ashwini devatas, narrated by Vyasa, brings beauty and health to those who listen or reads it.

Shri Krishna, Astrology and HIS 16108 wives

By Sri Chiraan 2008/10/22

Shri Krishna was born in rohini nakshatra  with a moon sign Taurus. People born in this star are inimical to maternal uncles. Kamsa was maternal uncle of Shri Krishna whom Shri Krishna killed to relieve earth of a vile demon. Krishna was born when Taurus was rising with moon and Venus in it. seventh lord mars exalted in Capricorn (9th house), Saturn exalted in libra (6th house) since 10th was in sixth Krishna never had a kingdom of his ( all though entire universe is his kingdom shown by exalted 10th house). Sun was in Leo the 4th house. exaltation of seventh lord along with its depositor with Venus in own house, and aspect of moon on seventh makes one have innumerable wives. Lord Krishna had 16108 wives. Aspect of moon and venus on seventh house also makes one have affairs.  Krishna gave sexual pleasure to a kubja. He had rasaleela with gopika stree and Radha in gokula although he was only ten years old then.(kishoreavastha). Lord exists in everyone, it is he only who primarily enjoys in a human body and gives enjoyment to the soul too. He existed even in husbands of the gopika stree(s). there was nothing he did not know about their bodies as their husband, or there was nothing extra/new that they could offer to Krishna in the absence of their husbands. Hence Krishna did not have any allegations on him on account of these affairs. Look at the aspect of exalted Jupiter from third house on seventh. Aspect or association of jupiter with seventh house gives rise to shuchi yoga i.e.. one who is  extremely clean with respect to sexual conduct. He does not indulge in Vyabichara or illicit sex. Also this yoga gives one a pious and obedient wife Rukmini, Satyabhama, Jambavati, Neela, Mitravinda, lakshana, Kalindi, Bhadra devi, and 16100 kanyas released from the prison of Jarasandha, 16108 wives.

Shri Krishna married  Neeladevi in a swayamvara, that was more difficult than Draupadi swayamvar. In Draupadi swayamvar a warrior was supposed to pierce the eye of the fish fixed on rotating disc by aiming at the reflection of the disc in the water kept in a bowl below the disc.Arjuna successfully claimed Draupadi.

But in Neela swayamvar, the fish was on the upper side of the rotating disc. The mirror in which the reflection need be seen was fixed below  the disc to the ground. There was a hole in the disc. The warrior had to watch the fish on the ceiling mirror once, hit his arrow through the hole observing it in the below mirror, it should get broken by another arrow hit through the hole and then when the broken arrow is in its trail  downwards, it should pierce the fish. Only Krishna could accomplish this feat rest all fail. Showing superiority of Krishna.
