Have you wondered why some on this earth have spiritual pursuits? For some it is just core to their Being , for others its not even considered. Patanjali-muni calls out kriya yoga in his Yogasutra's as tapas (see below), svadhyaya (mantra japa and study ), and Ishvara-pranidha (surrender).
What brings us to these desires for Moksha, kevlaya, sanyas, and tapas?
From A Jyotish point of view there are some classic yoga's and combinations in ones chart that stimulate this desire to manifest in ones life. Let me outline a few and you can look in your chart to see if this is a condition. This is one reason I chose to study Jyotish, as this desire has been constantly with me [and I have acted on] for as long as I can recall and I wanted to find out why. Some of the indications are below… perhaps they too are in your kundali chakra ( birth chart). Let's look at just a few conditions. If there is interest, we can add to the conversation.
Pravaraja Yoga (PRY) - a union of graha's that allows/compels one to turn (vrt) within or forth (pra)
This occurs when one has 4 or more grahas in one house - the more benefic the stronger the influence. It's said if this occurs in a Kendra ( 1,4,7 or 10th ) AND one of the graha's owns the 12th house ( a moksha house) This yoga occurs. It is important that the 4th house is part of this connection, as it represents home, and in the body , home is the heart-emotion. That is this desire for spiritual development.
Let's say the 4th is not involved - this suggests the person is just getting on this path in this life and the renunciation this person may take will the introductory 'lite' version. Still good, yet is not so energized to seek this with a high degree of alacrity.
Let's say too that the sun is involved in this yoga , which it usually is, but not always. If there is a combust condition that is, some of the planets are very close to the sun, then this renunciation, if one chooses to do so would not be 'official' or formal.
In some charts, I see 4 grahas yet one of the nodes ( Rahu or Ketu) are there. The 'rule' says no nodes should be involved. Yet with Ketu as Mokshakaraka, the wise Jyotisha takes a second look. And Kendra houses are recommended, but if Trines are the recipients of the grahas, especially the 9th house, it has dristi (sight) to the 4th house, and stimulates the emotion for spiritual development... Now what if this house has both the 8th, the 12th and the mokshakaraka graha's present? The indication and influence becomes quite strong as all the moksha grahas are in one place, unified in their efforts and influence.
Another simple indication is that of beneficial graha's in the 3rd and 6th house (bhava) from the Arudha Lagna. There is a post on how to calculate this Aruda if one is interested: http://www.hindudharmaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1633 (http://www.hindudharmaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1633)
The stronger the condition, ( exalted, moolatrikona, or owning the sign) the greater the influence of this PRY on them.
Tapaswi Yoga - a union of graha's that bring tapas ( fire or cleansing) to the native this is a yoga with Sani (Saturn) , Sukra (Venus) and Ketu are involved. Sukracharaya is also known as Daitya Guru and is part of Tapaswi Raja Yoga .
One does not quickly see Venus as a tapas centered graha. He earned this via hanging upside down from a tree for 20 years. This twenty years is the length of Venus' dasa period in the Vimshottari (120 year) dasa system.
Sukra's tapas:
While hanging, smoke was blowing on him ( homam) from the fire (agni) below him. Tapas is a heating up, burning off impurities in the sadhu.
This tapas ability comes from several conditions coming together ( as it must have for Sukracharya):
Sani or Saturn's ability for one pointedness and fixity to 'stay the course'
Ketu and moksha, and the yajya homam below Sukra ;
Sukra and his inherent ability of desire for Moksha. Where can one see this in a chart ? Sani aspecting Sukra and Ketu in ones Navamsa or 1/9th divisional chart. The rule is for this to occur the graha's must be in the lagna position or the karakamsa position in the Navamsa chart. (Lagna = ascendant and karakamsa = the sign housing the Atmakaraka) . This position is called Swamsha that is karakamsa + Navamsa Lagna = Swamsha. I mention this as this is used often by Jaimini-muni and we will use again on other posts.
There are many more that are given from Saravali, Jataka Paraijata, Jaimini, and Jatak Bharnam and of course Parashara muni to name a few.
We can take a look at several muni's and see how this applies (Yogananda, Sri Jayendra Saraswati, Srila Prahhupada, etc).
Now when does this spiritual welling up take place? When would one renounce or become sanyas? This is seen from the Drig Dasa System. This is just a brilliant dasa system that one uses to align with other systems. Many in Jyotish use Vimshottari as the standard dasa practice, some use Yogini and Kalachakara dasa systems…
This dasa application ability separates the excellent Joytish from the pack. Knowing when and how to use these systems brings out the potential and possibility in timing the blessings and benefits ( and perhaps the challenges) in ones life. There are many many dasa systems offered by Parashara but only few have mastered these tools…. I am not one; as a sisya I look to the brighter Jyotisha & the tradition for any light I bring to you on this matter.
More if there is interest.
