I already published more than 450 articles in Vedic Astrology (one a day) during the past 15 months. I get hundreds of e-mails appreciating the contents of those articles. Also many people get their full-horoscope analyses prepared by me. I am glad, by God’s grace, I continue to be useful to many people even after my retirement from my profession (Professor of Engineering).
I publish the horoscope analysis of Bhagavan Adi Sankara in about 12 parts in a serial order. He is a great super-genius, the world ever had. He gave Hinduism a revival and introduced a catholic spirit in spreading the Hinduism and its greatness.
HOROSCOPE ANALYSIS OF BHAGAVAN ADI SANKARA ACHARYA OF KALADI
Part – 11 (Aug—31—2009) 2) Sankara’s mother got his Upanayanam (initiation to vedic education) performed in the same year; she sent him to a nearby gurkul ashram for education. This occurred in the same Rahu period and Mercury sub-period under the same directional (drik-prabhaava) influence of Rahu and Mercury. Mercury aspects (7th drushti) the 4th house (Libra) Vidya-sthana (house of education) and ensured he is initiated to vedic education.
3) Sankara was a prodigy; and he got everything by heart and deep into his memory when he heard any topic once only. So competed mastering all the four Vedas and all other scriptures just in thirty lunar months. Generally an intelligent person takes thirty years to learn them all. He completed all his learning during the sub-period of Venus (main-period of Rahu). Rahu is in Taurus (lord is Venus); so Rahu gives the results of Venus. Venus is also the lord of 4th house (Libra), the house of education. Venus is conjunct with Mercury, the bestower of intellect. So Sankara reaches a stage of a teacher (Professor, Acharya) in all branches of learning capable of conferring learning and education. Sankara is declared as a very proficient Acharya soon by all his gurus (teachers) when he was nine years of age. 4) Rahu is in Taurus (the constellation of Moon) and in 12th house from Moon (Rasi-lagna). Ketu is moksha (salvation) / renunciation karaka (significator). Moon is in 12th house (house of renunciation) from the birth-lagna (cancer). Ketu aspects (7th drushti) Taurus (12th house from Rasi / Chandra lagna) and Rahu therein. Ketu occupies Scorpio, the constellation of Saturn. Saturn in turn aspects (7th drushti) the Moon and the 12th house (Gemini) from birth-lagna. All these factors help Sankara to obtain Sanyasa-deeksha (initiation to asceticism) during the fag end of Ketu sub-period in Rahu period.
The chronological order of events in the life of Sankara are not known clearly. 5) So one can assume that Sankara completed his training in advanced philosophy under the guidance of famous and widely revered (Guruji) Govinda Bhagavadpada (who stayed in his ashram on the banks of river Narmada) before Sankara competed his Rahu main period (before his 15 years of age). Rahu is in Taurus (lord is Venus); so Rahu goves the results of Venus , lord of (Libra) the 4th house (house of education). So all his education and training are completed by the end of Rahu period and Govinda Bhagavadpaada initiated Sankara to the Parama-hamsa (Super sanyasi) order. (to be continued tomorrow).
