Trishula Musings:

This is a picture the Shani Temple we went to a few years back it is in Shignapur a village located in Ahmednagar District of Maharashtra. It is about 35 km from Ahmednagar. We were spending time in Shirdi visiting the Shirdi Sai Baba and went on a day trip to this Shignapur to visit Lord Shani. It was a totally different world to me at the time and the Puja was unlike any I had experienced in India.

I remember following Babu barefoot walking through some streets, I was laughing all the way, we were not to make eye contact some kind of male thing about worshiping Lord Shani. Anyway, Babu did his thing in all earnest and after the Puja was over we bought some horseshoe iron rings to wear to appease Lord Shani. Within in hours I was completely depressed, I took the ring off and have never been able to wear it to this day. However, it works for Babu he can has worn this Saturn ring for over a decade now.

It is important to know what you can handle and if someone gives you a remedy and it does not feel right take it off, it is more important to develop your own intuition than to trust others. In my mind the purpose of going to a Jyotishi is to awaken to yourself not to tell everybody how great the Jyotishi was.

It is always about you not the astrologer.

"The presiding deity of Shinganapur, Sri Shaneshwara or Lord Shanidev- the personification of the planet Saturn is worshipped with utmost reverence and devotion by multitudes of people from all over the world. The spectacle of the deity in black stone is overwhelming. A unique aspect of this place is, that no temple structure houses the Shanidev. There is only a simple platform on which stands the swayambhu idol, in black stone.

Shingnapur is also famous for the fact that no house in the village has doors, only door frames. Despite this, no theft is reported in the village. Villagers never keep their valuables under lock and key. Villagers believe that the temple is a "jagrut devasthan" (lit. "alive temple"), meaning that the god here is very powerful. They believe that god Shani punishes anyone attempting theft."

Sawai Jai Singh II - Jantar Mantar, Jaipur

One of the remarkable aspects of Jai Singh’s observatories is that each site is distinctly different in size, layout, and style. While the instruments he designed are essentially the same in principle, the versions at different sites vary in size, materials, and construction.

The first observatory to be built was the observatory at Delhi in 1724. The Jaipur observatory, the most elaborate, was begun by 1728. Smaller observatories were built in Benares, Ujjain, and Mathura. Of the five observatories, all except the observatory at Mathura still exist and are publicly accessible. The Mathura observatory, and the fort in which it was housed, were demolished just before 1857.

The observatories at Delhi and Jaipur are the best known and most visited, since they are within major tourist destinations. They also feature the largest versions of the instruments Jai Singh built, and the Jaipur observatory houses the greatest number and variety of instruments.

The Jaipur observatory is by far the most elaborate and complete of Jai Singh’s projects, comprising sixteen masonry instruments and six made of metal. The observatory occupies a plot of land just outside the City Palace, within the walls of the original city.

The observatory includes a number of instruments that are not duplicated at the other sites. These include the Kappala Yantra, Rasivalaya Yantras, and Unnatamsha Yantra.

Sawai Jai Singh II - Ved Shala or Jantar Mantar, Ujjain

Ved Shala or Jantar Mantar in Ujjain is believed to be India’s first and foremost observatory. Indian astronomers believe that the first meridian or the Prime Meridian of Longitude (75° 47′ E) passes through Ujjain thus earning it the epithet, ‘Greenwich of India’.

The Tropic of Cancer also passes through Ujjain making it most suitable for an observatory. This observatory, made by Raja Jaisingh of Amer, is among the five built by him in India, the others situated at Delhi, Jaipur, Mathura and Varanasi.

The Jantar Mantar has all the constructional instruments which determine the positions of heavenly bodies in space. Nadivalaya Yantra, Yamyotarra – Bhitti Yantra, Shanku Yantra, Nadivalaya Yantra, Samrat Yantra and Sundial are the major instruments in the Ved Shala.

Although the Jantar Mantar in Ujjain is smaller than that of Delhi and Jaipur, this observatory is most important as the Masonic instruments are still being utilized to conduct research.

After Raja Jai Singh, the observatory remained isolated and poorly maintained for 200 years till it was renovated by Madhavrao Scindia. The Ved Shala is located on the Chintaman Road, 2.5 kms from Ujjain Railway Station and can be easily reached by local transport.

Benares Observatory - 18th century

Historical artwork of colonial soldiers, merchants and locals at the astronomical site at Benares (now known as Varanasi) in India. This is one of five similar astronomical sites (all called Jantar Mantar) that were constructed in India between 1724 and 1734 for Maharaja Jai Singh II. The site consists of stone astronomical instruments (yantras), constructed to allow observation of celestial objects such as planets and to predict their movements, and to measure local time. A report on this astronomical site, titled 'An account of the Bramins Observatory at Benares' was read to the Royal Society by Sir Robert Barker in 1777.

Photograph of the observatory or Jantar-Mantar, Delhi, India, by Samuel Bourne 1860s

This photograph shows some of the astronomical instruments which make up the observatory or Jantar-Mantar, built by Maharaja Jai Singh II of Jaipur (1699-1743). He later built similar ones in Jaipur, Ujjain, Varanasi and Mathura (no longer survives). These astronomical instruments are built with brick rubble and plastered with lime. There is a discrepancy over the dates of construction and could be 1710 or 1724. In the photograph there are two figures on the right had side which give an indication of the scale of these structures.

The Observatory at Delhi - 1808
Plate 20 from the fifth set of Thomas and William Daniell's 'Oriental Scenery' called 'Antiquities of India.' The Observatory of Delhi, the Jantar-Mantar, was built around 1724 and was one of a series of observatories built by Maharaja Savai Jai Singh II of Jaipur. Other observatories are found at Jaipur, Ujjain, Varanasi and Mathura. The artist was fascinated by the '...singularity as well as the magnitude of such astronomical instruments'. The main instrument depicted, the Samrat-Yantra, in a different view from plate 19, is 'an equinoctial dial, consisting of a triangular gnomon with the hypotenuse parallel to the earth's axis, and on either side of the gnomon is a quadrant of a circle parallel to the plane of the equator.' In the distance is the Ram-Yantra, one of two circular structures used for calculating the horizontal (azimuth) and vertical (altitude) angles of heavenly bodies.

The Observatory of Jai Singh, Delhi - 1826

Pencil drawing of the Observatory of Jai Singh at Delhi by an anonymous artist, 14th November 1826. Inscribed on the front is: 'Delhi. S.S.W. view of Observatory from Sketch by P.T.C. Novr. 14th 1826', with notes on the measurements and types of stone.

Known as the Jantar Mantar, this observatory in Delhi was one of five built by Maharaja Jai Singh II in around 1724. The Mughal emperor Muhammad Shah gave this task to Jai Singh, a keen astronomer, in order to revise the calendar and astronomical tables. The observatory contains 13 different instruments for calculating the time of day, the altitudes of heavenly bodies, the positions of constellations etc. The instruments are still used today to forecast temperatures, calculate the expected arrival, duration and intensity of the monsoon season and the likelihood of flood or famine.

Located in the Parliament Street, south Connaught Circle near Hanuman Temple. of New Delhi, Jantar Mantar is a vast observatory built to help and improve upon the studies of time and space as was known. It was built by Maharaja Jai Singh in the year 1724 and forms a part of a collection of five such observatories located in Jaipur, Ujjain, Varanasi and Mathura.

Extremely rare: This astronomical painting was commissioned by Maharaja Pratap Singh of Jaipur in 1780.

This painting depicts Northern and Southern Celestial Hemispheres.

In this painting, the position of traditional 27 Nakshatras of Hindu astronomy (first mentioned in Atharvaveda) is superimposed on zodiac signs according to Western astronomy.

As such, this is the earliest attempt to reconcile Hindu knowledge of universe with that of the west.
When European Jesuits were still preaching that Hindu culture is nothing but superstition and idolatry which should be annihilated at its root, Hindus made a genuine attempt to reconcile and understand the scientific knowledge of another civilization.

It is also not surprising that the astronomical map comes from a Hindu kingdom and not from any of the domains ruled by Mughals or other Muslim Nawabs

This was at a time when some regions of India just started getting colonized by Britain. Then everything went south

Friday the 13th, the Lucky Day! NO FEAR!

3/13/2020

0 Comments

It is Friday the 13th this is and has always been the luckiest day from me!

Jai Friday the 13th. A Venus (Shukra). Venus in Bharani ruled by Venus and Lord Yama the lord of Death and right Dharma, we can see him scoring the earth for souls to take to other regions right now.

It is difficult to understand Lord Yama's ways unless you can see beyond the Veil of Unseen Reality, the 99% per cent of reality and at this time Venus is acting as the Lord of Tantra. There is much going on behind the scene of all reality. Look deeper and you will find meaning. What looks as panic and fear even of Friday the 13th is not, there is something deeper going on. There is always light behind any darkness.

The power the propels the Nakshatra Bharani is ruled by (apabharani shakti) which has the power to take things away and it is not up to us what is taken away, it could be our negative traits, it could be our very life. What is taken away is first calculated by Chitra Gupta ( the celestial accountant who records our karma). He gives the results of karmas to Lord Yama aka (Dharma Raj) who enacts the shuffling of souls from here to there and onward. Venus as Lord of Tantra can bring the dead back to life, so today there is the grace of Venus the brightest shinning star in the sky, a diamond.

Today is a very powerful day, with humanity stirred to a rinse and spin cycle, there is a blessing behind it all, nothing happens without any reason, there is always a higher reason. As we move into a full Kala Sarpa (snake of time Yoga) over the next few days as the Moon will move behind Ketu on March 17th we may feel a tipping point as all planets will be behind will be between Ketu and Rahu.

This is not easy on anybody, but there are always blessings, look for the blessings on this lucky Friday the 13th, these blessings are what hold us up during difficult times.

Be blessed today . Be safe, wash your hands!

The Chain of Reactivity:

How to break the chain of reactivity with those around us?

By Ram Dass

It is up to the most conscious person in the situation to break the chain of reactivity.""
Posted July 28, 2017

As one cultivates more and more of the levels of the strudel, then one sees the whole level of interpersonal relationships as just one level. When I first started to awaken, I would come home to visit my family and my father would say to me, “Do you have a job?”

He didn’t ask me if I was the Buddha, or if I was enlightened. I would get very angry at him because he had caught me in a place where he made the plane real, and I said, “I cannot stay around my family, they bring me down.” Later when I would come home more strong in my faith and inner connections. My father would ask me the same questions, and I would, in the quietness of my being, appreciate his concern and the worldview that he held without becoming reactive, and so my response would not be reactive, and it responded instead to the deeper connection that we had, and it would open the dialogue in a new way.

It is up to the most conscious person in the situation to break the chain of reactivity.

Difficult Not To Be Reactive!

This is our work in the world. We are all living in incredibly reactive webs. If you push against it, it still has you. The art is to be in them, but not reactive to them. You can stay in a marriage in which your partner is not interested in what you value. And begin to work with that vehicle for your own awakening by shifting your awareness from that of judging mind to that of an appreciating one. You will see that certain relationships have so much symbolic power for you, it’s very difficult for you not to be reactive.

Somebody that is very sexually attractive to you, or somebody that is very powerful, or somebody that has a lot of money. Or if you are afraid of aging, somebody that is very old. Or if you are afraid of dying, someone who is dying. If you are strongly identified with your body, somebody who has a deformity.

I want you to be able to look at the people around you as the teachings that you need.

Karma Yoga as a Way to Work With Reactivity

Helping my father through the final years of his life became an incredible teaching for me. I went from being very righteous about what a good person I was to be helping my father. To realizing what an incredible gift I was receiving from him. He had changed my diapers, and now I was changing his. He had fed me and now I fed him. And because I had no feeling of the unnaturalness of it, we both went through this process with joy.

It is extraordinary to be with a human being and go through changing relationships of power; to meet the person behind that and then just watch these changes in the relationship. The work of cultivating these many planes of consciousness means that you are always available to another human being, behind their storyline.
You don’t demand they give up their storyline, but you are present if they wish to.

Makra Sankranti - The Vaishnava Tantric Bauls of Birbhum Bengal

1/13/2020

0 Comments

The Mysteries of Makra Sankranti, When Sun Kala, enters Capricorn. To India people there is no controversy on this time because it holds a deeper meaning, You can not compare apples to oranges, this is India and an Indian celebration.

There are 12 main Sanskriti's (change, to change constellations) in the Hindu Calendar. Makra Sanskranti is the day that the Sun's yearly tranist crosses from line between Sagittarius and enters Makra (Capricorn).

Culturally it means many things and is never simple for the western mind who only wants one word for each Sanskrit word, however, it does not work that way. Makra Sankranti also means, when the Ganga River meets the ocean of the Bay of Bengal, when the river changes to the ocean and this is celebrated in Bengal as Ganga Sagar, Ganga becomes the ocean at Makra Sankranti.
Thus Babu Kishan is the first to record and compose the music to h Ganga Sargar.

It has nothing to do with Western Astrology or the Western mind, it is an ancient day and practice in the Indian calendar. "According to Bhagavad Gita, Lord Krishna manifests himself in his full magnificence during this time.”

This is the time of love play between Krishna and Radha.

Contemplate the qualities of the Gopi Chand (Ektara the one stringed instrument of the Vaishnava Bauls of Birbhum) and be blessed by the Divine Love of Radha and Krishna's Dance.
Contemplate the Gita Govinda as the Vaishnava Bauls do in song and dance of the love of Radha and Krishna. There is a reason the Vaishnava Bauls celebrate at the the famous temple of Radhavinod (another name for Lord Krishna) is situated in the village of Kenduli Birbhum on the banks of Ajoy river.

It was the home-village of famous poet JOYDEV or where he traveled to because Odisha now claims him as born there? Joy Dev was the Poet Royal at the court of the King of Bengal Lakshman Sen of the SEN dynasty (11th-12th century AD). He wrote of the love of Radha and Krishna. It is here that Joydev wrote his famous book “Geeta Govinda”. It is at Makra Sanskriti that the Vaishnava Bauls celebrated here in a Mela called the Joy Dev Mela.

Makara Sankranti is the movement of the sun from Sagitarius to Capricorn it is based on Sun Kala (Time). It is a celebration of Radha and Krishna's love from 5000 years ago and with that as Indian's celebrate in regional ways.

For the Vaishnava Tantric Bauls of Birbhum Bengal The Joy Dev Mela takes place in Kenduli about 35 Kms south of Suri where KD Babukishan was born and his ancestors and Lineage have always since the beginning of time gone there to celebrate except in recent times and this will be written about in the new book Historical Baul.

The temple is situated on the north bank of River Ajoy. The great Sanskrit poet Joydev who flourished in 12th Century and composed the well known Gita Govinda, a Sanskrit Lyrical poem which the Bauls have always worshiped.

The Joy Dev Mela (Festival) always takes place during Makar Sankranti.
According to Puranas, on the day of Makara Sankranti, God Sun pays visit to the house of his son Shani (Saturn) who is the swami of Makar Rashi (Capricorn Zodiac sign).
Capricorn is also known as Markara the crocodile.

Makar Sankranti is four days festivity period which is dedicated to Lord Sun.
All rituals during Makar Sankranti are gestures of thanksgiving to natural resources which make life possible on the Earth.

The Sun God is worshipped for bestowing good harvest and nurturing livestock. The cattle especially bulls and oxen are worshipped for their significance in traditionally ploughing fields.
Joy Dev's soul mates or Monar Manush name was Padmavati Devi. There are 100's of Baul songs based on their life story. The Joy Deva Kenduli Baul Mela takes place here, it is the Bauls who have kept Joy Dev's poetry alive.

Nabani Das Kheppa Baul, Manohar Kheppa a Vaishnava Poet, Bhava Pagla, Sati Ma, Chintamuni Dasi (grandfathers) auntie, Triguna Dasi (grandfathers Mum), Purna Das Baul, Babukishan, George Harrison, Allen Ginsberg, Amartya Sen, Rabindranath Tagore, TaraShankar Banerjee, Indira Gandhi, Mahatma Gandhi, Bidhan Chandra Ray, Satyajit Ray, all have kept this temple alive it is located on the bank of the Ajoy River. Today the festival is not the same, it has completely changed by outsiders who never understood the culture.

There is or was a bridge that you have to cross to get to the temple this bridge is called The NABANI SETU it is named after Nabani Das Khyappa Baul.

Intellectuals from around the world have been visiting the Joy Deva Mela for decades to take part in this Baul Mela, (festival) although in recent years it has changed as the Bauls become extinct.
"Makara Sankranti, apart from a harvest festival is also regarded as the beginning of an auspicious phase in Indian culture.

It is said as the 'holy phase of transition'. It marks the end of an inauspicious phase which according to the Hindu calendar begins around mid-December.

It is believed that any auspicious and sacred ritual can be sanctified in any Hindu family, this day onwards. Scientifically, this day marks the beginning of warmer and longer days compared to the nights. In other words, Sankranti marks the termination of winter season and beginning of a new harvest or spring season."

Also, thousands of people take Holy Dip during Makar Sankranti, usually falls on 14 or 15th January every year. Gangasagar pilgrimage and fair is the second largest congregation of mankind after the holy Kumbha Mela.

The latter is observed once in four years at alternate locations in north, central and central-west parts of the country, Gangasagar fair and pilgrimage is held annually on the Sagar Island’s southern tip in the Ganges delta atop the Bay of Bengal.

"Radhavinod temple is a brick-built NAVA RATNA temple with nine pinnacles (called Ratna-s in Bengali), the nine pinnacles are Rekh –Shikhar type. The façade of the temple is decorated with terracotta bricks with beautiful engravings .

The temple is two storied. The cornices of the first roof is curved . There are four Ratna-s or pinnacles on the four corners of this roof. On top of this there is the second smaller floor with curved roof. There are four smaller Ratna-s at the four corners of this roof too, with a central big Ratna, thus making the number of Ratna-s 4+5 =9 in total.

The upper floor was badly damaged & is repaired recently, but with plain cement work, which looks rather ugly on this grand old beauty with exquisite terracotta works in front.

The terracotta decorations include :

a) the traditional 10 avatars of Lord Vishnu ;

b) scenes from the Hindu epic RAMAYANA depicting scenes of battle between the soldiers of the demon King of Sri Lanka RAVANA & the monkey soldiers of Lord RAMA . A depiction of the demon king Ravana is eye catching, with ten heads & twenty arms & a fierce look on the face ;

c) many social scenes, amongst which there is a unique art work of two village ladies performing the morning ritual of rural Bengal called BASIPAAT ( Sweeping the household area after sprinkling cow-dung mixed water which is considered very holy & auspicious still today).
The fineness of the intricate terracotta works is truly mind boggling.

The temple was constructed in 1683 AD by the King of Bardhaman Maharaj Kirti Chand Bahadur"

Please excuse my typo's and mis-spelling of Sanskrit words, I am not from Sanskrit, I do all of the writing in English for Babu Kishan, he is the Sanskrit expert, born into the Oral (Sanskrit) tradition of the Vaishnava Bauls of Birbhum, 12 years at Ramakrishna Mission, Master level and way above PhD at Calcutta University, he knows the difference between Oral and book learning.

Personal Readings

Trishula Musings:

Jyotish also called Vedic Astrology, Indian Astrology, is an ancient science and art of Light.

Jyotish is the astrology of Yoga, Tantra, Ayurveda, Sanskrit, Indian Culture and Indian Philosophy!

If you cut the roots off the tree , the tree of Jyotish will die. This then is a Cultural Genocide.

Jyotisha is the eyes of the Veda's, Upanishads, Puranas and Tantra's and Indian Culture.

If one is a sincere student of Yoga, and Tantra it is a must to practice Jyotisha.

Yoga is not just about physical exercise, it is a deep study that takes many years of intellectual study before one teaches.

From Various Authors
and many by Yogi Ananda Saraswathi

You can read more at https://www.facebook.com/yogi.anandasaraswathi

Jyotisha is a holistic sacred healing system, it must be helpful to others.

Jyotisha is a Tantra, the deep many lifetime study of karma, time and reincarnation.

It is a practical mystical tool and practice.

Remedies are used to remove obstacles, to understand who we are in the universe.

What will be our dharma, how we will make money, and enjoy this life which hopefully will lead to moksha or freedom, Vedic Astrology deals with all aspects of life including Health & Relationships.

Jyotish was revealed to the Rishi's in order to set the prisoners free not to hold them hostage to their karma's or enslave the individual to what is seen as malific in a chart.

It was never meant to be fatalistic. Yes we have fate and free will and there is a remedy for every problem, Grace of God or Goddess is the biggest remedy.

There is always hope we always need to try and fight our way.

A Jyotishi is a guide a seer and points the way, a Jyotishi never traps anybody by giving a fatalistic negative reading making people feel hopeless and in despair.

The earth is the place of suffering a Jyotishi's gift is to find a solution to bring light to the situation.

Thus Jyotish is the science and art of Light.

Jyotish is about understanding the bigger questions a Yogi or Yogini asks,?

Why am I here??

What is going on and what is next??

How do I proceed?

Jyotish is about understanding Purusha (consciousness) and Prakriti (phenomenal realm of matter) how it is all woven together?

Jyotish is a Tantra a technique.

Jyotish is a sadhana it keeps the mind awake and aware and with the help of Lord Ganesha it helps us categorize life into a workable deeper understanding.

Thus Ganesh is the Lord of Jyotish, Saraswati helps us understand and gives Wisdom. Dakshinamurti helps us put it all together. Then one would have an istata devata (favorite God or Goddess). Then worship of the 9 planets.

Jyotish is a Path.
