What is Karma, Athma and how to assess the same using planets?
The term karma could not be understood clearly by many people. Though I have written many articles on this subject, my visitors asked (for proper understanding ) me to explain, in such a way, for everyone to understand.
Karma actually means action ACTIONS. The meaning of actions are defined as follows:
1. Any person or any life when alive and live in this world, carries out many actions whether beneficial or maleficial during the course of their life. All these actions are called Karma.
2. The action include both physical, and mental. Even without doing any act, if there is intention, it is also Karma.
Now this Karma gets accumulated in the ATHMA of a person or life. The Athma is one which travels from body to body whenever it enters a physical body. This Athma has no birth or death and is called Jeeva Athma. It is this Athma which actually is pushing us to do anything and various actions in life.
When the athma travels from body to body in each birth , the same athma pushes the body and mind to act as per its wishes only, and not the so called conscience mind of a person thinks. So far as this point is concerned many educated and intelligent people have disputed the truth. It is because, Jeeva Athma is one which never directs anyone to do anything directly, but will ensure ultimately one ends up the action as per its directives only. So called highly educated and talented people being awarded with great honours are categorised as leaders. This is not their greatness but it is their karma which puts them above some or many of the people. This does not mean they are GODS or divine.
To get clear vision about one's Athma, it is widely practised as Pooja to Athma or also called as Athma Pooja. This is done to ensure that any action done has the blessings of one's own Karma. These are the days where people have totally forgotten about Athma and self realisation. People do not have time to practise meditation and whatever is done are all more like a business only.
In the absense of self realisation and Athma prayers, the only way to know about Karma are by preparing the horoscope of a person. The athma of a person is indicated by the ascendant (also called as Lagna),of a horoscope. The ascendant is the location of planet SUN at the time of birth. I will explain as to how the ascendant is to be calculated as follows:
As Planet earth completes self rotation every 24 hours, every minute by minute The Sun will get positioned in various ( constellation) Rasi houses. As everyone knows there are 12 rasis, starting from Aries to Pisces. The planet Sun does not change the constellation for a period of app. 27days ( when looked from outside earth). But as the planet Earth rotates, the position of Sun will get positioned in various constellations during this 24 hours from the place of birth of a person. I will explain this further:
a. During the month of April 15th till may 15th of every year, the SUN will be in Aries constellation.
b. But as earth rotates, from a particular place, Sun will change from Aries to Pisces during the 24 hours time, which has to be decided based on the location of a birth.
c. Approximately, Sun changes the constellations during the day/night @ approximately two to two and half hours per constellation. This will change for a particular day.
Hence it is a simple mathematical calculation which are available in various web sites and local panchang. Once when an ascendant is properly arrived at, then the positioning of all the other planets and its constellations, are available in various web sites and panchang.
The ascendant will differ from country to country, place to place around the globe. Unless this is properly arrived at, entire prediction with wrong ascendant will fail badly. Therefore, Ascendant is the most important constellation ( can say LIFE), in a chart.
I will also would like to clarify the reasons for fixing the Sun position as Lagna are due to the following reasons:
1. SUN is the king of solar system and is powerful enough to keep the entire planetary system under its gravitational pull:
2. It is only due to SUN, we can live and life can exist.
3. As per Vedic and astrological traditions, and great SAGES, once a person dies, Athma leaves the body and reaches SUN. From Sun only, it comes back to earth( and enters physical body), depending upon its Karma.
4. During the course of its travel to Sun and return to another body, the entire memory of past birth is hidden and hence the person born, will never get any thoughts and actions about past birth for ever.
5. This is the reason for fixing the ascendant based on SUN position at a particular place and time of birth.This ascendant indicates the person's karma, as birth takes place when SUN is in a particular constellation, from where this Athma takes shape in a body and is ready to discharge the karma.
As regards the above point many people disputed during dicussions and After reading Vedas/Bhagavad Gita / Bhagavatham, many got enligtened about the same. The reason for hiding the past birth actions are due to the fact that GOD has to ensure (that unless person suffers for the maleficial acts done during the life and also enjoys for the beneficial acts done), perfectly balance the Dharma ( JUSTICE),otherwise this world will not survive.
This is said in sanskrit as KARMA RAKSHAKA GOVINDA. It is GOD who ensures that Karma is safeguarded. In fact, GOD himself says " before the KARMA of a person I cannot use my powers to ward off the same, even if the person is a great sage in this birth". If one reads many great epics and the NINE avatars of Lord Vishnu, this point is again and again very clearly established by GOD.
Once when Ascendant is over, then starts finding out the Athma of a person and Karma. The following are some of the indicators:
1. If a Lagna lord is powerful and well positioned in a chart, that person will have very smooth life. This does not mean that a person will be honest and good.
2. If a Lagna and lord is afflicted or in combination with and /or aspected by malefic planets. then the person's life will have to be guided by people like no. 1
3. In between the above two, the Athma and karma has to be assessed depending upon the strength and weakness of lagna lord and other planets.
When Athma and karma is assessed, CARE should be taken (to ensure that unless the chart permits the astrologer, to reveal the facts), to disclose otherwise it will result in very dangerous effects for the astrologer..
The reason for the above are, this world consists of many varieties of people living under different conditions. More than 90 percent of the people will never think about what they do and what are its effects etc.,. They simply do whatever they feel like. In this process, when I analyzed the past history of over 10 centuries I found that people have done great mistakes like, cheating people for wealth/money. Killing the people if they do not do what was expected out of them. Many families were ditching their own kith and kin.People have been living with various women and Vice versa also, thereby, cheated many people. There are thousands of grave mistakes done by people lived in the past. Even now also, many people indulge in various atrocities knowing fully well that it is a grave injustice.
Now when I analyzed the past of people and their present life style, I found out that they are living as directed by their Karma only. Everyone can see for themselves the following:
a. Many people these days commit so many cruel acts and still they are not getting punishment. On the other hand, simply they escape and continue to do the same:
b. A person who has not done harm or cruel act gets severe punishement:
Though the above things looks like Injustice, as per Karma it is the true Justice.
And many more things which looks like unusual are happening around the globe. The reason for this being upholding the Dharma by THE ALMIGHTY.
Hence, a person should first understand THE KARMA destined by his chart and plan the life accordingly. If this is not done, they will face unnecessary complications in life.
To cite a few examples:
1. Avoid kings and ministers when they do misdeeds, as their chart will be powerful enough to destroy any other honest person, however great he/she may be. It is their past karma which protects them.
2. In most cases, I find person's entire family is destroyed while fighting against above people and other's Karma.
3. These days we can see even karma within the family itself is different, where parents and their kids never go together. In some families, father kills daughter and son. Young people are taking to violence like a hobby.
4. Always one should understand that all the things happening around the globe are dictated by THE ALMIGHTY. Todays so called great people doing grave and cruel deeds to people, might become nothing or may be afflcited by diseases in the next birth. Todays genuine and honest people might become kings in the next birth.
5. While I analyze some charts, i find many great families of kings are ruined so badly, because of their cruel acts in the past births.
These are the truth of life and Karma always is upheld by GOD. Even if someone feels their family is badly hurt by another person/family, wait for the time to turnaround, provided if you have such karma to happen. Otherwise, it will fructify in the next birth.
Without understanding the karma, if anyone violates the same, it will result in severe consequences. I can see many people carrying out certain acts (inspite of astrologers predicting agsinst the same), landing in severe complications later on. This is because when they see people getting away by doing various mideeds, it is generally believed that by following same methods they will also be successful. These people must see in reality people swndling billions of dollars escape, whereas a government servant taking a bribe of one dollar loses his career and life.
This is Karma and always one should ensure that GOD will answer their complications, if one is truly honest and sincere in their life. It is due to this Karma effects (every birth after birth), Hindusim has prescribed several ways and means of wiping off of karma effects by doing remedial prayers and worshipping GOD always.Many other religeons in the world also has such remedial prayers.
Also one should keep in mind that, not all the karma effects can be wiped out by doing remedial prayers. It depends on the nature of karma that a person has accrued over various births. .
Karma actually means action ACTIONS. The meaning of actions are defined as follows:
