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 14 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 – 14 (Sept—3—2009)
Adi Sankara has Parivrajaka yoga (Ascetic): Rule :- Ekaraasi sthithaithu chathradhibhi birbalyuthair jahaah, pruthaghviryagauh shakya ajeevika bhikshu vurdha chakra nirgandha vanaysanaha; mahye jnaya guru kshapakara sita prabhankareenau kramaath balibhi samah; parijithai sthastha swamibhihi prachyuthaihi= When there are four or more planets in one house, the person born may become an ascetic (sanyasi) of one of these types; Sakya, Aajivaka, Bhikshu, Vridha, Chakra, Nigandha or Vanayasana, when Mahaya, Gnya, Guru, Kshapakara, Sita, Prabandhakari, or Ina are powerful respectively. The parivrajaka yogas are determined by the most powerful planets. When these planets have suffered a defeat, the person will renounce the Parivraja (ascetic life) afterwards.
The following strong planets in conjunction can produce the varieties of Parivrajaka yoga:
1) Powerful Mars : Sankhya : one who wears red-clothes. (2) Powerful Mercury : Aajivika – one who bears eakadanda or single staff (about 5 to 6 feet). (3) Powerful Jupiter : Bikshu : one who wears kaashaya or saffron colured (yellowish-rose) garments. (4) Powerful Moon : Kapaalika : one who moves about with a skull in his hand and practices occult tanthric yogas. (5) Powerful Venus : Chakra – one who carried a chakra (wheal) or ring. (6) Powerful Saturn : Nirgrantha : one who moves in nude form. Powerful Sun : Vanyasana : one who lives on roots, herbs, bulbs available in forests.
Adi Sankra has three poerful planets Sun, Mercury and Venus in his 10th house. He is not an ordinary Sanyasi. He is a Maha Jnaani (with perfect divine wisdom and spiritual realization) and an incarnation of Bhagavan Sankara. He was a special super-class Sanyasi by himself; he was a Bikshu in villages, he was a Vanyasana in forests; he wore saffron clothes and a staff with a saffron-flag indicating that he is ready for a fierce argument on philosophy and religion) with any scholar who refuses / resists to surrender to Adi Sankara and become his disciple (Sishya).
My own Belief :- I am a devotee of Adi Sankaracharya and believe him to be a direct avatar (incarnation of Bhagavan Sri Sankara), just as Bhagavan Vamana (Emperor Bali’s liberator) was the direct incarnation (avatar) of Bhagavan Sri Maha Vishnu. These enabled his monumental work of about 15 years has so profoundly influenced the religious, philosophical intellectual and cultural thoughts of millions of enlightened people all over the world during the past twenty centuries. He revived Hindusim from the onslaught of Buddhist monks and scholars. His horoscope has some unique features. They are :
(1) Lagna (Cancer) lord Moon is in the Moksha-sthana (12th house; ripha) and is aspected both by the lord of 7th house (Capricorn), Saturn (7th drushti) and by the lord of 9th house (Pisces), Jupiter (5th drushti). The mal-effects caused by the aspects of malefics Mars and Saturn on Moon is neutralized by the highly beneficial aspect of Jupiter on Moon.
(2) Sun (Atma-kaaraka; Soul indicator) is exalted in 10th house (Karma-sthana; profession-indicator) and is conjunct with Mercury (Budhi-kaaraka; indicator of intelligence) and Venus (lord of 4th house) (house of acquisitions, here divine knowledge and wisdom). (3) The 4th house, Libra (Kendra; Sri Narayana sthana) has combined aspect of five planets; Sun, Mercury and Venus (7th drushti), Mars (8th druhsti) and Jupiter (9th drushti). This bestowed hin highest order of proficiency.
(4) Saturn (indicator of philosophy) is in Sagittarius (house of Jupiter). Jupiter is Jnana-kaaraka and is also the lord of 9th house (Pisces; Sri Maha Lakshmi sthana),the dharma-sthana. This resulted in Sankara’s unflinching logic made him the supra-rational and led him to Victory in every religious argument he had with eminent scholars and masters of different faiths. He is the Saint of saints. He lived with radiant joy. (condluded)
