Akshaya Thruteeya (May--06---2011) Friday
My opinions :- The unique feature of this great horoscope is the presence of five planets both in Rasi and Bhava charts in Karma-sthana (10th house; Sri Narayana sthana) in a spherical arc of 23* in Aries; which clearly depicts the dynamic personality of the great Buddha. This arrangement caused so many Raja-yogas as well as the great PARIVRAJAKA YOGA (Sanyasi). These 5 planets are in Kendra (7th house; Sri Narayana sthana) from Moon the Rasi-lagna also. These give us a clear insight into the great achievements of this great saint Bhagavan Buddha. Most of the Hindus (including me) adore Buddha as the 10th Avathar (incarnation of Bhagavan Sri Maha Vishnu.
The conjunction of the 5 planets in one house (Aries) can be taken as a Gola yoga; the presence of this yoga in the horoscope of any nation / country can cause great upheaval. The French Revolution and the Communist (Red) revolution in Russia etc. were examples of such up-heavals in the history of France and Russia. In the case of the horoscope of a single person, Gautama Buddha, this Gola yoga caused stupendous achievements in his life. He bestowed humanity a new easy-to-understand and follow religion, stressing the moral and ethical practices in life.
The conjunction of Jupiter (jnana-kaaraka), Saturn (moksha-kaaraka) and Sun (Atma-karaka) in Karma sthana clearly proves us that he never denied God or the soul and the main pillars of Hinduism, naely, Dharma (righteousness; ethics; morals), Karma (right action without desires) , samsara and moksha (nirvana; salvation). He was a religious Hindu by birth and training. In fact, all his original preachings emanated from the luminous and inspiring thoughts contained in the Hindu Upanishads. He denied only the superfluous Karma-kanda (rituals) which grew prominence abandoning the real inner spirit or meaning latent in them. Budha’s doctrines are : the Noble Eightfold Path describes the way to the end of suffering, based on righteousness in views, intentions, speech, actions, livelihood, efforts, mindfulness and concentration. The Four Noble Truths are (1) Life is full of suffering. Desires are main cause for suffering. (2) The origin of suffering is attachment. (3) The cessation of suffering is attainable by conquering desires and non-attachment. (4) This is also the essence of Bhagavan Sri Krishna’s preachings in the Geetha. He preached and practised equality of all humans with no divisions of caste, creed and the like. The main blemish of Hinduism was and is caste system and the resultant discrimination. So millions of people gladly adopted his religion and path of life.
