Solar Panels - Why in black?

I was reading an article on Gujarat, in terms their plan of actions, to tap the Solar power based electricity.

Then, all of sudden, it attracted me to look at the Solar Panels.

I just wanted to know, why these solar panel are black in color? then, thought of black body.

What is black body?
It's body which maintains heat and hardly releases the same. In case of more information, please go through the links mentioned below.

http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/b/black_body.htm

What does the SUN has power, which could create this power / energy?
Probably going through some of these links, may get you an idea, of the subject.


http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/s/solar_radiation.htm
http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/s/solar_flare.htm
http://www.sciencedaily.com/articles/s/sunspot.htm


Then, wanted to know, how the solar power gets generated?
Probably, going through these links and videos, you would get an idea and direction, how the solar power is made.


http://www.energymatters.com.au/renewable-energy/solar-power/education.php
http://www.energymatters.com.au/education/solar-workshop-videos.php

I know....probably you are getting irritated?! What does it carry in terms of astrology?

Electricity - Known to be essence of Mars
Sun - Known to be source of Power and Energy
Saturn - Known to be essence of solar panel(its black in color)

We all know, that Saturn, is so keen in getting love and attention of SUN, however, SUN was not. On this reference, if you could see, if the SUN attentions are captured in the form of solar panels(Saturn), which in turn convert in the form of electricity(Mars).

Since Saturn is so keen on SUN's love, he collects energy from SUN in the form of sun-rays  and he does NOT want to leak-out(black body principle), just holds with him itself. That stored energy, definitely cannot be taken out. To do that, we need another character, who can be stronger than Saturn i.e. Mars. So, Mars, extract, the stored energy in the form of electricity.

We all know, Saturn is weak at Mars house and Mars is peak at Saturn's house.

This is my way of looking at the solar power generation process...how's it? Any comments welcome.

786 - Sankrit OM

786 Symbol & Astrology

786 Symbol

Hope you all have seen this 786 symbol, many times. In case if you are NOT clear, please observe the top part of the photograph, which has growing / decreasing moon, has numbers as '786', on top of it and a full star shown.

I always wanted to understand the symbol behind this. Reference to astrological learnings and understanding, wanted to look at it, tried to extract meanings out of it.

Direct fit is 786. On numerology, we have identified planets for each numbers. They are,

1 for Sun

2 for Moon

3 for Jupiter(Guru)

4 for Rahu

5 for Mercury(Bhudhan)

6 for Sukhran

7 for Kethu

8 for Sani and 

9 for Mars(Chevvai)

So, 786 means, Kethu + Sani + Sukhran. 

Even though number 7 signify Kethu, by implicitly from Kethu it signify Rahu too.

Then, moon is direct fit. But the shape shows, distance between Moon and Sun. So, SUN is signified implicitly, by the shape of the Moon.

Star, signify the Brahma(Ruler of stars). Brahma is also known to be Guru. So, implicitly represents Jupiter.

Please observe, none of them are touching any of these. How do we get connected? Here comes the significance of Mercury(Bhudhan).

How does they operate intensely, especially 786 group of planets? 

If we try to understand essence or navamsa of owners for 786, then it would signify that Mars influence implicitly. 

The stars, which is owned by Kethu, Sukhran & Saturn, their padams(1/4th subdivisions of Star), would sit at (Kethu) Mesham, Rishabam, Mithunam, & Katagam AND (Sukhran and Saturn)Simham, Virgo, Thulam, & Scorpio. So the common planet, which has reference to 786 lords connectivity / intensity is Mars, who is the ruler of Mesham & Scorpio. And also, Scorpio's ruling power, shared between Kethu & Mars.

So, just this one symbol signify entire planets and has intense meaning reference to the study of astrology. Lets acknowledge and appreciate our ancestors learnings and representations. Hats-off.

Navarathri - Thula month?

Every year we celebrate, Navarathri and it regularly comes in the month of Thula. (i.e), When Planet SUN travels in Thula raasi, then, we celebrate Navarathri. Why do we celebrate in this month?

Possible guesses, based on my astrological understandings.

Planet SUN, is weak during this month. If so, who should, raise and provide the support? Definitely, its Mata Shakthi. SUN is considered as Shiva. As per Kaala Purusha philosophy, the 7th place, represent partners, Lord Siva's partner is Mata Shakthi, thus Lord Shakthi comes into picture. So by worshipping Shakthi, during this month, which can complement, weakness of planet SUN and provide applicable benefits to the requester. And also, this 7th house, Thulam(Libra), is owned by Venus, who wish to be decorated, and celebrated, so eventually, we end-up coming with Kollu and have became as custom.

On this reference only, our ancestors, thought of this event, and created Navarathri as a festival, made us to worship lord shakthi and her representations as different forms of lakshmi. 

So, we need to reason-out each and every event identified by our ancestors, which would have quiet intense reasoning, atleast astrologically.

Lingam & Cross

We all have seen lingam & cross as mentioned in the photo above. Reference to saiva siddhantha, lingam is known to be representation of both form and formless. Cross is the structure, where Jesus Christ, was fixed.

Last few months, whenever I look at the Lingam or Cross separately, I feel that both are represent to be same. They are seems to be well-connected.

Out of curiosity, again when I looked using by logical brain, I felt, the front view of sivalingam, seems to be almost like Christian Cross.

If any of you have done any study on this, feel free to share it with me.

If SUN is weak...

One of my friend, recently approached me and discussing various things, and slowly the topic went into our area of interest. He told me that one of his friend, got a baby and that baby's horoscope, has SUN in its weak position. Due to that, the astrologer recommended to keep the kid and parent separate. In case if its not, then, it would impact life of the father. As soon as heard this, my friend's friend, moved the kid to their in-law's house. Even though, the father is interested and keen in living with the kid(has all capability in terms of finance, society, emotional and all), but it was supported by their relatives, so they are living separately.

I could not get the horoscope to understand intricacies. But the comment given by the astrologer is, SUN is weak in the baby's horoscope. On this reference only, my friend was asking, is it so? if SUN is weak, father and son, should not stay together?

I just clarified, that, we cannot just conclude only that parameter alone. If SUN is weak, then, the baby would be distinctly different in any aspect with their father. It can be anything. Based on my finding, I have seen, 

(a) the babies, have more education than their father. 

(b) If the father is doing business, their kid end-up with a employment career. 

(c )If the father, would like to settle down in the native state, then, the kid would like to settle down in the different state. 

(d) If the father interested in setting-up marriage in the same caste, kid prefers in the different caste 

(e) Even if the father and sun, end-up in employment career, but the specialisation, seems to be different, one is in Accounts and other is in Marketting 

(f) If the father is scientist, the kid prefer to be sports-person, like many more.

After explaining like this, my friend got better and left me.

I was thinking for few minutes. If we conclude that SUN is weak, then father and kid should be separate, then, in the month of Thula(Approximately, Every year Oct 15 to Nov 15), whatever, and whoever, takes birth, they would end-up having SUN in its weak position. So, are we going to recommend, keep their father and son separate? cannot be.

So, sometimes, astrologers, need to comfort their clients, during their suggestions, and provide predictions, without splitting their families.

NOTE: I am yet to know that astrologer and horoscope of the baby.  

Why Mahalaya Amavasai on Puratasi Month?

When I heard that this month, we have Mahalaya Amavasi, then immediately I got this question, why on this month(Puratasi)?

By the way, let me quickly explain what is Mahalaya Amavasai. In general, Amavasai is known to be good day to worship pithrus. Mahalaya Amavasai, means, its a general day, whether we have details of our ancestor people or not, we can conduct, pooja, & worship for our ancestor people's wish fulfilment, and also seek blessings from them. This is the day permitted for all Pithrus, to visit their families. During their visit, if we invite, and honour them, as they were treated, with same love & care, then, they would be glad. This glad, would change as blessing to us and our family.

Astrologically, Amavasai means, SUN & MOON are together in one Raasi. This is the most ideal combination, for praying. SUN - Atma, MOON - Body, both are together means, praying, when Atma & Body are together, then, it would fulfil the objective.

Why should we do?

Before our birth, our life would be keen in looking forward, to take shape into a body. At that moment, with Pithrus permission only, the life is inserted into body. Pithrus, do this, with an expectation that we do the needful, so that they can be elevated and promoted to next level. But after taking birth, if we do not recall and remember our pithrus, its equivalent, to NOT honouring the promise or commitment or expectation, set by the pithrus.

What would happen if we do not worship pithrus?

Lets understand how our prayer protocol works. Whenever we pray to god for any needs, then, their should be someone, who could voice our concerns to Almighty, for the support, reasoning and justification(Even within our world and our area of influence, to realize to happen something, do not we need to fulfil so many people). Pithrus, is the person, who would provide their support for us to god, to realize our prayers. In case if we do not worship our pithrus, either knowingly or unknowingly, believe me, we may loose our own support system(then who can voice our concerns to almighty?). This would eventually, seen in people, those who are stuck-up in their progressions. Their are many instances, For an example, (a)where some people promotions pending for years, even though all eligible conditions would be fulfilled, but the inferior people would progress, in front of their eyes. (b)There could be sudden drop in business. (c)There could be sudden misunderstanding with work partners, relatives, friends and many more. (d)Their could be problems in child births, even though, physically all of them would be OK. There can be many more. I just do not want to threaten the readers.

How to please pithrus?

Based on their financial capability, spend quality minutes, either self or through any priest to conduct pooja. In case if you cannot do anything, never mind. Please sit calmly, mediate for few minutes, thinking of our ancestors, and just put few drops of water on the floor, as offering to Pithrus. I am very sure, they would be very glad. But it should be done with real love & care, and also, it should support your real financial situation. Please avoid by giving money to someone to do pooja, on your name. You need to show and dedicate your own quality time.

Lets jump back to our topic.

Astrologically, 8th bhava is known to be Pithrus Bhavam. Reference to Kaala Purusha philosophy, 8th house is Pithrus, then, Vrichika Month should have been month for Mahalya Amavasai, then, why are we having on Kanni Month(Puratasi)?

Kanni is the 11th Bhavam from Vrichika. To win over Vrichika Bhava aspects, the correct timing is to work it on 11th Bhava time. On that reference, Puratasi month, if we could worship on our ancestor, in the name of Mahalaya Amavasi, then, we can win over our Pithrus expectations and get their blessings.

God's Guidance - True Experience

On 26-Sept-2012 Wednesday, due to throat infection, took off from regular office work. Then checking with Mom, for availability for the day. She mentioned she is free and available. After few minutes of discussion, decided to trip-down to Arunachala Temple at Thiruvannamalai. Checked with temple employees, about their darshan timings.They confirmed that Morning 06.30 hours to 12.30 hours, then 15.30 hours to 21.30 hours IST. I got to know, this information morning 10.30 hours. Travel time is around 3-4 hours. Planned to leave around 12, reach by 4 again restart by 5 and reach chennai by 9 or 10.

But in actual, we could leave by around 12.30 hours IST only. We reached around 15.30 hours IST to a hotel, near Thiruvannamalai. After lunch, we wanted to start back to temple, but the car was not able start. The steering got locked & jammed. Not able to start the engine. Struggled for few minutes and fortunately got started, and again on the way to temple. Checked for time. It was 15.55 hours IST. Exactly Saturn hora was going through. Myself & My mother were travelling in the car. For me, as per Kocharam, its Bhaghya Sani & for my mother, its Ashtama Sani. At Saturn hora, we have experienced a shock. Even though we have won over it, but need to go through it. Learning of the situation, need to anticipate shock / struggle during that hora moment, during those Kocharam reference.

We reached Arunachaleshwarar temple, Thiruvannamalai. We paid money for Annadhanam on 26th Oct(2610). We wanted to pay for life membership, however, their procedures & policies were not impressive, to pursue further. After the payment, we went to Darshan of Arunachaleshwar & Unnamalai amman blocks, visited Navagraph, Anjaneya Sannidhi, then, given full body namaskaram near flag post of the temple. Soon after the full body namaskaram, we received huge rain, with huge blow of thunders, which was quiet surprising. We wanted to visit Kala Bhairavar block, but got struck up in the main temple itself. Waited for 10-15 minutes. Then visited Kala Bhairavar, came back to Prasadam stall, purchased the same, then started way back to chennai.

Around 18.15 hours IST, we started. Unfortunately and Unnaturally, this day have become very dark, started drizzling. With guts and confidence, started driving slowly and steadily. Rain started progressively, somehow, I have managed to reach Chengee, which is around 45 - 60 mins from Thiruvannamalai. After that  I am unable to proceed further. At one instance, I am unable to see the road at all. I stopped at one place, not able to proceed further. After few minutes, I saw better weather, again started. After few minutes, same situation arised. I meditated to Arunachaleshwarar for 10 seconds. Then one bus came over us. The bus is going from Thaliyuthu to Chennai, via, Chenngam, Thiruvannamalai. Route No: 122 Express. I was following for few minutes, in that darkness and huge rain was flowing through.

After few minutes, I have overtaken the bus Route no: 122 Express. Not even crossed 100 meters, I am unable to see the road. Again slowed down, the same bus overtook me. I just followed the bus till we reach tindivanam. In this travel, I just happened to watch the bus registration number as TN09N-2610. It just struck my mind. I just visited temple and paid money for Annadhanam for 26th October(2610). Probably, on that reference, the bus, which has 2610 as registration number has come to rescue.

As it struck to me, at that moment, I was quiet calm, just followed the bus. After few Kilo Meters, I have come to a place, where a Tree has fallen on the road. If i would have overtaken and gone ahead, definitely I might have missed this tree, had miserable situation. Almighty, Arunachaleshwarar, have saved and guarded us. We felt really blessed.

God is there everywhere. I am very sure, he is watching, eachone of us, quiet closely. Whenever, and whatever required, at that moment, he jumps and helps, all of us on-time, with utmost care & love. This is one of the many instance, where I have exposed, almighty's presence. Since I have started blogging, thought of sharing to all readers.

Bernoulli's Theorem

Hi all,

Please do not be afraid, by looking at the post title as "Bernoulli's Theorem". Based on my own observation, analysis and intuition, I am writing this post.

Bernoulli's Theorem

This theorem is used, primarily in aerodynamic calculations to understand, how an aircraft flies. This theorem, mentions that, Sum of Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy and Datum, is constant.

On the same reference, if a person, want to fly in the growth horizon, then, his Potential Energy, Kinetic Energy and Datum to be identified, calculated, analyzed and publish as predictions.

How do we identify these energy heads, with reference to astrology? Keep Guessing....

By looking at a horoscope, we have lagnam or Ascendent, which provides various bhavams for the birth lagnam. We can provide predictions based on that. This can be treated as Potential Energy.

By looking at Moon, positioned raasi in a horoscope, we can highlight the predications. These can be called as Kinetic Energy.

Datum...? This is the parameter, which need to be analysed, based on the family, hereditary, society, peer group, friends, siblings, in which the horoscope owner associated(The various heads mentioned are to be considered as few). This can be called as datum.

So actual growth horizon for an horoscope is based on the above mentioned Potential, Kinetic Energies and also, datum.

Money Vs Friends

Most of the time, we might have heard, observed, experienced, that, we had more friends, when we had money. As soon as money spent, friends also gets disappeared. This statement is NOT to pinpoint anyone or  any group, but its a common general statement.

Out of curiosity, I just tried to see any sort of astrological relationships or influences between these two. Money referred as Jupiter(Guru). Friends referred as Mercury(Bhudhan). Basically, these two planets represent opposite parties. They do not gel together.

Friends - They may represent good as well as bad. But we cannot ignore them. Mercury owns Mithunam & Kanni. Both of them represent Duwi-subhava(Uppayam). It means, they are capable of moving slow as well as fast.

Money - Man with money is Hero. Man without money is Zero. By Money, we can MAKE as well as FAKE. Incidentally, Jupiter represent as owner of, Dhanus & Meenam. Both are Duwi-subhava. It means, they are capable to make or fake people.

Generally people say, if a person become sudden rich, then, they would not maintain their old relationships. This is correct. Because Mercury, becomes weak at Jupiter's house(Meenam). It means, Money rules, but friendship becomes weak.

Vehicle - Astrological Influences

Nowadays, vehicles, are seen at any place. Take a look at the photograph mentioned above. What does it make you feel so? Since this blog is on astrology related area, so, let me know, what does make you feel as per astrology perspective? Take a minute.

Do you have any observations. May not. I too had the same. Switching ON astrology eyes, my extraction of the meaning is different as mentioned below.

The moment, you say vehicle then, its the influence of Venus. 

If a vehicle has ability carry more than average number of people, then, its the influence of Rahu. 

If the vehicle is capable, carrying more load than its capacity, may not able to operate in its fullest performance, then its the influence of Saturn.

If the vehicle has any attractive colouring, or banner, or wording on the outer side the vehicle, which creates connect with society, then its the influence of Moon. 

If the vehicle, fulfils all the legal rules & regulations, based law of land, then, its influence of Guru. 

If the vehicle is moving based on traffic rules & regulations, aligned with existing road traffic, along with other vehicles, then, its the influence of Sun. 

If the vehicle is moving on highway or four-way or 100ft road or 200ft road or 400 ft road, where road conditions is smooth, then its the influence of Mercury. 

On the other-way, if the vehicle is moving on rough & tough road or muddy road or non-developed lands, then its the influence of Mars.  

Irrespective of the situation, to drive effectively, you need coordination with individual with vehicle, in the form of Concentration, is the influence of Kethu.

How many of you agree or disagree?!......

Just by looking at a vehicle, we can see influence of all the 9 planets at a stretch, then, how come most of the astrologers, provide predictions, just by seeing the planets, which is peak or weak in a an individual horoscope?

Review: Bhirugu Naadi Samhidhai by Siddhayogi Sivadasan Ravi

Bhirugu Naadi Samhidhai

Chandrashtama-Influences

What is Chandrashtama? 

When a kid takes birth, the raasi where moon travels, is known as Janma Raasi. From Janma Raasi, if we count 8 raasi, in clock-wise direction, then, Chandra ashtama raasi can be identified. For an example, if a kid, takes birth, when Moon is at Katakam(Cancer), then Janma raasi of the kid is Katakam. The Ashtama Raasi for the kid is Kumbam(8th raasi, in clockwise direction). Based on movement of planets at real time, whenever moon travels across Kumbam, the kid will have Chandrashtama.

What's the impact of it?

During these days, then general effect is "Weaken your Strengths & Strengthen your Weakness". Generally, we will have enough disappointments, upsets, drawbacks, negative surprises etc.

How should we manage the situation?

Generally, recommended practice, try to be defensive than to be offensive. Avoid risky activities. Minimize new initiatives. Try to be calm, conscious, and clear.

Why do we undergo such situations?

Moon - identified as Manas, Love, Body, Social Conscious. 8th place known to be hidden place.
If moon travels in ashtama raasi,
                  (a) Manas - our manas goes out of control. Not able to concentrate.
                  (b) The focus of love, gets directed to incorrect source.
                  (c) Body becomes, weak, and quiet prone for any diseases.
                  (d) Our social image could be challenged.

Planets Vs PMI Knowledge Areas

We have 9 PMI Knowledge areas. They are,

1. Scope Management - Deals with work and work related area
2. Schedule Management - Definition of task, mapping of resources, creating Work Breakdown Structures
3. Cost Management - Deals with all aspect of financials of the project. Analyse amount of work achieved Vs amount of money spent. Are we into the planned budget are not?
4. Quality Management - Are we following as per process defined at the organisation, account, project level?
5. HR Management - Are we have correct people at correct positions? Did we assign correct roles and responsibilities?
6. Communication Management - How offen & frequent we are engaging with our stakeholders? Are we providing correct & enough information? For a public limited company, even publishing quarterly reports to government and shareholders, is also part of this knowledge area.
7. Risk Management - How are we anticipating risks to execute project? Did we have enough preventive / corrective action planned?
8. Vendor Management - In case if we outsource any of our project work to external vendors, how do we manage them to have deliverables as per our expectations.
9. Integration Management - How are integrating all the above mentioned aspects with reference to the objectives? In case of any deviation at any level, how do balance and achieve final objective.

From Astrology perspective we have 7 planets and 2 shadow planets. They are,

1. Sun - Administrative, Disciplined
2. Moon - Fast moving planet
3. Mars - Strong, firm, and vibrant
4. Mercury - Calculative and statistical, mathematical
5. Jupiter - Financial oriented
6. Venus - Charismatics, Attractive
7. Saturn - Slow moving, hard to understand
8. Rahu - Break the boundaries
9. Kethu - Expect the unexpected

Based on exposure of above mentioned topics, I just started mapping both these disciplines like this.

1. Sun - Integration Management
2. Moon - Schedule Management
3. Mars - Communication Management
4. Mercury - Quality Management
5. Jupiter - Cost Management
6. Venus - HR Management
7. Saturn - Scope Management
8. Rahu - Vendor Management
9. Kethu - Risk Management

1 to 7 - reflections of Sunday to Saturday, rest of them are additional.

This is one of the technique adopted in my training for upcoming project managers, to remember all the knowledge areas of project management.

Project Management Vs Astrology

The topic, itself surprising...Yes its. Based on the nature, we are aware, they are different subjects, but based on my personal observation, 'had blessing to see quiet a lot of commonalities. Those observations are depicted as part of this post.

What is Project Management?
Unique, Time bound, Capability to deliver product, service or result

What is Person?
Unique, Person begins his life and gets over i.e. Time bound, as long as survives, ensure to deliver goods as per purpose.

How Astrology linked with Person?
A study observing person behaviours, progressions, characteristics and anticipating future performance of the same, by the process of extrapolation. To study this, we refer based on another parameter, which is cutting across person, is Time. This is measured, based on the position of planets, moving around mother planet earth.

How does, above linkage influence with Project Management?
As per Project Management, we observe, so many different projects, across technologies, across geographies. The observation is to, identify parameters, factors, characters, which support for project success. By improving those thing, which helps to improve subsequent projects delivery. This practice, is also known as lessons learnt.

So, Project Management & Astrology learning are common for all?
No. Neither Project Management Nor Astrology defines the same.

Both works on localisation & specialisation.

Project Management learnings, and implementation, greatly influenced by organization culture, and strategic focus. This is NOT common across industries, across companies, within company across different accounts, different portfolios, different projects etc.

Similarly, Astrology, defines the predication based on the individual's birth location & time, the horoscope made. The progression, is dependent upon, their close family members horoscope, their friends horoscope, their relative horoscope, their peer group horoscope also. Based on individual karma(can be mapped with learnings), family karma(organization culture), support from society(strategic focus) his success, gets defined.

That's all for this post. We will see few more posts, comparing PMI Knowledge Areas with Planets characteristics. Thanks.

What can we give to God...!!!

In a Satsang session, the presenter asked a question to audience, "What is that you can give to God?". After silence for few minutes, the responses were like this.

(1) Manas
(2) Flowers
(3) Unconditional Love
(4) Surrender

After these responses, presenter replied,

(a) Manas, we are unaware of the same. So we may not able to give.
(b) Flowers, which has come-out by God's soil, God's water, God's sunlight. Actually its all belongs to him. We cannot claim to be ours. So, this cannot be given
(c ) Unconditional Love - Love means unconditional only. These are very high state of mind, which cannot realized by everyone, so it cannot be looked as possible option.
(d) Surrender - This also high-in state of mind. Very tough work-out and offer to God. This cannot be done by everybody, so this also not a workable option.

Then, what is that you can offer?

• You can offer things which belongs to you alone can offer. 
• The thing which is available with you from the day you born and still exists means, you can offer such thing.

Audience confused. Presenter, smilingly said, that each-one is born, on to this world, with sizeable lifetime. That time is, what we should offer to God. The format in which we offer is called, prayer, dhyanam, meditation etc.

Audience pleased and felt blessed.

Bhava means

Astrology, we always talk about Bhava or Bhavams.

How do we understand this Bhava as concept?

For new product implementation, we talk about business modelling, where we compare organization process with product functionalities is called business modelling.

Reference to Software development, we talk about Data Modelling, to develop optimized data storing methods, we analyse possible data table structures, can be known as Data Modelling.

How do we identify different Bhava?

We need to identify lagnam / Ascendent. From that need to count each box / block, in clockwise direction to see all different 12 Bhavas.

What does this Bhava signify?

Lagnam / Ascendent - Self
2nd Bhavam - Family
3rd Bhavam - Younger Brother
4th Bhavam - Mother
5th Bhavam - Kids
6th Bhavam - Enemies
7th Bhavam - Friends, life partner
8th Bhavam - Pithrus
9th Bhavam - Father
10th Bhavam - Business partners
11th & 12th Bhavam - Success & Failure / Profit & loss / Elder brother & Dependents

Whether Bhava definition is firm?

No. Based on the topic discussed, bhava definition would change accordingly.

Nakshathram, Padam, Raasi Structure

We all know that, total we have 27 Nakshathram. Each Nakshathram, has 4 padams. So totally 108 padams(27*4). We have totally 12 raasi. Each raasi, distributed to 9 padams. So, its equally distributed.

Lets just try to understand this combination, in a our own perspective.

Padam like row of houses i.e. streets.
Group of streets are known as Nakshathrams.
Combination of Group of streets are known as Area i.e. Rasis.

At Chennai, T.Nagar & West Mambalam is differentiated by a subway only. These need to be known as Rasis. Because T.Nagar & West Mambalam, has multiple streets and each street has multiple houses.

At T.Nagar, we have different streets like, Natesan street, Ranganathan Street, & Ramanathan Street.  These are like Nakshathrams.

We have Easwar book house in Natesan Street, Saravana Stores in Ranganathan Street, & Ramakrishna School in Ramanathan Street. First one is last part of the street, Second is middle part of the street, and Third is first part of the street. These part are known as padams.

If we could understand this geography of the galaxy system, then, placement of planets, and their influence with others, can be related quickly to provide predictions.

Relationship between Chappathi & Crow

Most of the conventional family, they serve first part of their food to crow, as a representative of 'Pithrus' (i.e our forefathers / mothers). People feel very happy, if a crow happened to eat it immediately.

In this process, whenever, I happened to serve Wheat Chappathi to crow....believe me...the crows, just love it. They come in very high group and take each and every piece of it.

This observation, made me to think, more in detail and analyse to spot, possible root cause behind it.


Crow is known to be representative of Saturn. Wheat(light brown grains) is known to be the representative of Sun. Generally, we prepare, Chappathi or Poori, by using Wheat.


We know, Lord Saturn is son of Lord Sun. But Sun cared more about Saturn's brother, not Saturn. However, Saturn was so keen on his father Sun. To get his father's love, Saturn, went ahead and done lot of prayers...which made him to become, has planet.  Thereafter, Its a history.

This love of Saturn, can be seen as Crow's attraction over Wheat Chappathi.

If you do not believe it, please try it yourself. Thanks.

Relationship between Sun & Saturn

Sun - known to be Atmakarakan   Saturn - known to be Karmakarakan

Let us understand what is Atma & Karma?

Atma - Ability to see life in things. Means, all things, items, people, creatures, animals, are from the same substance and we are not superior or inferior. This leads to the understanding of treating everything, everyone at ease and par. This is the greatest level of maturity. If the individual happen to be in this state, then, his focus with the environment & nature, would change, to bring better ease and peace, for the self and others. On this basis, he will end-up, demonstrating better administrative abilities and skills.

Karma - means Activities. An Individual, who does work, on any form, either visible, or invisible, either physical or mental, either social or emotional, are known to be representatives of Karma. Based on the nature of the activities, whoever involved in activities / karma, will end-up, having the feeling as that the individual is superior / inferior than the others. The edge/difference in feelings, emotions, thinkings are known to be EGO. In nutshell, ability to see difference from others.

To balance between Atma & Karma, we need to dedicate, all the outcomes, out of Karmic activities, to almighty, in the form of 'Arpanam'(i.e. Krishnarpanam, Sivaarpanam). This is crux shown in Bhagavath Geetha as, 'Do your Duty, do not worry about Results'.

Based on this understanding of Atmic & Karmic characteristics, we need to accept, that they do not become, PEAK or WEAK, at the same positions. On this reference only, SUN is peak at Mesham and Weak at Thulam. Similarly, Saturn is peak at Thulam and weak at Mesham.

Mercury & Venus Relationships

Mercury - Known to be Mathematical  Venus - Known to be Luxury, enjoying life lavishly.

Mercury & Venus known to be Mitra planets. Look at the intensity of the relationships among them.

If Mercury is peak, means, if a person is too much of Mathematical, Calculative, then, he may not enjoy their life happily. Mercury is peak at Kanni and Venus is weak at the same place.

If Venus is peak, means, if a person enjoys his life in style, lavishly, beyond their limits, it shows that the person is lacks the ability, to manage effectively by calculative steps. Venus is peak at Pisces and Mercury is weak at the same place.

Incidentally, these two planets are friends, and they move almost together, shows that they complement each other. In that manner, they help to balance our life, by enjoying life and also, reserve the resources at appropriate times. Thanks.

Moon - Peak and Weak

Moon - Rules Katagam, Peak at Rishbam, and Weak at Vrichikam.

Moon - Tries to maintain eco-balance with all planets. But its known to be peak at Rishbam and weak at Vrichikam. Why?

Because Rahu - Rules Rishbam & Kethu - Rules Vrichikam, along with the existing rulers.

So, Rahu, create disturbance of Moon by making it to operate excess. At the same time, the moon, reaches at Vrichikam, Kethu, does not allow it operate, at its own level, which in turn become weak.

Based on Financial economics, share market people, generally say its 'bull market', which means, the market is moving to great heights. Incidentally, Rishbam sign is also bull.  Most of the people, who lose money in share market, are the people, those who have invested in bull market. During that time, our emotions, intelligence, calculations, gets shaked-up, due to the bull market attraction. All these things are the influence of Moon.

Reference to the Newton's life, where he has identified gravitational force, just by observing an apple falling from tree. Was that new observation? or was it a new incident?  Its just connect between thinking and that event. His findings and the triggering event are not connected at all. But he discovered like this only. This is the influence of Kethu. You get ideas, from a non-connected events, probably, that observation, bound to correct and successful.

Its an observation, to bring to your notice, that, sometimes, Peak positions does not mean to be beneficial and also, Weak position does not mean to be malefic.

Relationship between Mars & Jupiter

Relationship between Mars & Jupiter

Mars known to be Anger...Guru/Jupiter known to be Clarity of thoughts...

At Makaram, Mars is Peak and Guru is Weak and at Katagam, Mars is weak and Guru is Peak.

It means, If we are able to understand and think clearly means, we are at Peace and free from anger. If we are unable to think clearly and understand better, then we are restless, leads to anger. 

Scientifically, these two planets are inversely proportional to each other.

Spiritually, if we see god in stone, then god is their...if we happened to see stone in god, then stone is their.

Medically, If we are in anger, the blood flow to the brain reduced, breathe rate increased and we struggle to think better. Similarly, if we happened to be in peace, better blood flow to the brain, with normal rate of breath, we could think effectively.

Socially, if armed force becomes powerful, then quality of peace challenged. If the armed force becomes less powerful, then quality of life and peace improved.

But Mars & Jupiter are mitra planets, but in nature, they are opposite to each other. Probably that's the explanation of 'opposite poles attract each other.
