BHAGAVAN ADI SANKARA ACHARYA OF KALADI; Part-7

BHAGAVAN ADI SANKARA ACHARYA OF KALADI; Part-7 9) The 8th house (Aquarius) is ayu-sthana. Its lord is Saturn; he is also ayu-kaaraka (significator of longevity). He is in the constellation of Venus. Venus (3*) was conjunct with Sun (8*), who is a maaraka as the lord of 2nd house (maaraka-sthana). This bestowed him alpa-ayu (low longevity).

10) In Nava amsa chart, Virgo is lagna; Venus is the lord of 2nd house (Libra); so here Venus is maaraka. Venus and Rahu (malefic) are in 8th house (Aries) and afflicted the 8th house (ayu-sthana) considerably. Ketu (malefic) was in 2nd house and afflicated the 2nd house, maarka-sthana. Added to these, the presence of lagna lord Moon (in Rasi chart) in 12th house (ripha) is detrimental to longevity and harmful. So Sankara lived only for 32 years. 11) In Rasi chart, the 9th house (Pisces) signifies father and his longevity. Jupiter is lord of 9th house. He stays n 8th house (Aquarius); it is the 12th house (ripha sthana) from the 9th house. Mars is a malefic and occupies the 9th house (Pisces). Sun is pithru-kaaraka (signficator of father); he suffers paapa-karthari yoga; Mars and Rahu are on either side of Sun. Besides Sun stays in the constellation of Ketu (malefic). All these malefic factors caused the death of his father when he is very young, only six years of age.

12) In Rasi chart, Moon is the lord of birth-lagna (cancer). She is Mathru-kaaraka (significator of mother) . Moon is in Gemini (a benefic house); Mercury is the lord of Gemini; he is also the lord of 4th house (Virgo) from Moon. Mercury is in Kendra (10th house; Sri Narayana sthana) from lagna. These factors reveal the greatest love and affection Sankara has to his mother. His conduct, even as a Sanyasi (paramahamsa order) performed the death ceremonies of his mother scrupulously despite social taboo and strong opposition from the Brahmin community in that village (Sankara was exterminated from Brahmin order) and driven out of the village. Yet this brings out in to lime-light the moral beauty and sublimity. These qualities are found in the noble duty of a man, having to honour the sacred memory of his mother. This duty he performed faithfully and put Sankara on the highest pedestal of honour and nobility. He is exemplary to every person on the immaculate love and affection for mother and performing all duties faithfully to his / her mother.
