Will Sabrimala sanctity status quo be restored?

I am extremely disturbed by the events of the past few days and weeks. With due  respect to the Supreme Court, I humbly disagree with their judgement on the Sabrimala Ayappa temple niyamas. These niyamas are not discriminatory in nature, but made as per the Agamas used to consecrate that specific temple. When truly devoted women do not have a problem in waiting. why would the court entertain pleas based on western ideas of false equality and filed by those who do not even intend to visit the temple out of devotion, is beyond me.

I do not wish to revisit the horrific incidents and the various attempts to allegedly storm the sanctum using state resources, as they will only further distress me. In this mental state, probably it isnt the best thing to see charts, but I could not resist and asked the question in the title of this post. The seed number was 26. The chart and significators have been cast below:




The current DBA is Me-Ma-Ju. It is amazing how the grahas responsible to the issue feature in the DBA (Jupiter stands for courts).

Mercury contains the full negative combination of 6 8 12, but is countered by a stronger presence of 10 11 at the sub level. This suggests that this will be an EXTREMELY hard fought victory, but a victory nonetheless. Having 7 8 12 in Mercury suggests that there might be some unrest and I pray to Ayappa to keep his devotees safe as they try to defend their place of faith.

Mars, is extremely positive, with a straight 1 6 11, which means an outright victory. There will not be any ambiguity after an extremely gruelling fight. 

The Antara of Jupiter is extremely negative. It has a straight 6 8 12 with no 10 11 to help it overcome. This makes sense since it is only the Courts (Jupiter) that have given this judgement. So there is no chance of the status quo being restored till Jupiter Antara is over. This will  get over on November 10,  2018. Which is fine and not too far away.

The next antara is of Saturn. Saturn is a rigid graha and usually refers to customs that are strictly enforced. Its a hard taskmaster. Saturn is also signifying the positive 10 11 combination. However, Saturn does not appear in the Ruling Planets as I am seeing the chart, so I will let it go as well. If it happens during the Saturn Antara (11th Nov to Jan 7th 2019), I will be happy, but I need to be conservative and when in doubt, take guidance from the RPs! They are:

Venus, Mercury, Jupiter Mars

Now Mars is in the sub of a retrograde Venus, so I excluded that.
Jupiter is outright negative, so I excluded that.
Mercury antara (8th Jan to 27th Feb 2019) and Venus antara (21st March 2019 to 20th May 2019) are both promising.

Moreover seeing Mercury in the RPs  suggests that this will require several iterations. The court will have to review this matter multiple times before it finalizes its decision. Seeing Venus in the RPs suggests that a woman will have a strong role to play in reversing this decision. Seeing Jupiter in the chart means the decision change will come through courts only, and not through any government action like law or ordinance. The Mars suggests struggle. Mars is the god of war and fights. I only pray and hope that my fellow devotees remain protected.

So my final reading is that the status quo at the Ayyappa Swamy temple will definitely be restored. It will not happen soon and will either happen near February 2019 or April 2019. In the meanwhile, keep praying!

Swami Nithyananda, an analysis

First of all my pranaams to the Guru tattva and to all living and passed-on Gurus who are manifestations of it. The blog is written to better understand the chart of a Guru, and inadvertent mistakes or mis-characterizations that may happen are my mistakes and I seek forgiveness from them, and specifically from Nithyananda ji.

I got the data for the chart from net searches and from the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6tvujI81_mo




One of the first things I noticed was the dominance of the 4 10, or the 4 11, or 4 10 11 combination in the chart. This is a requirement for the native to enjoy popularity among the people.

Additionally, one notices the prevalence of the following grahas and the houses signified in the nadi significators:
Venus 2 3 9
Ketu 4 6 7 9
Mercury 1 3 10

In addition the 10th cusp for worldy reputation is posited in Gemini, Punarvasu star (owned by Jupiter), and Jupiter sub part. This makes Jupiter a very imporant graha from the point of view of analysis:

So, Jupiter 4 7 9

Now, lets see how each of these aspects has played an important role in the life of Sri Nithyananda ji. 

The 2nd house,  is the house of speech. The cuspal sublord of the 2nd house is Jupiter signifying the houses 4, 7, 9. Jupiter is the graha that signifies the guru tattva and deals with things like temples, priest hood, educational institutions, teaching, justice, healing etc. Cusps 4 and 9 also deal with education and teaching. 9th house is also the house of spirituality and pilgrimages. It is also note-worthy that,  the "reformer" Uranus, the graha of explosive, revolutionary thought is posited inside the 2nd cusp. Now at first it might seem confusing that how a "convention busting" graha like Uranus is there in a guru's cusp of speech. It is because if one listens to his speeches, he is very publicly vocal on the need to retain the Hindu identity of various rituals and of yoga. While saying things like "yoga has nothing to do with religion", has become the norm, Nithyananda's Uranus in the 2nd house has made him vocal about saying things like "there is no ritual in Hinduism that is not spiritual", and "yoga is Hindu, though the fruits can be enjoyed by anyone". So when anti-ritual has become the convention,  a pro-ritualistic person becomes the reformer. This was particularly interesting for me to see. 

The 3rd house is the house of communication, primarily written, and also of courage. It is posited in the cusp of Venus. Venus is the karaka for beauty, artists, arts, music, make-ups, refinement etc. If anyone has seen and heard Nithyananda ji speak, he speaks with a very melodious voice, and I have seldom heard him speak ill of anyone. The dominance of Venus also has resulted him in speaking, sitting on what appear to be royal-like thrones and bedecked with jewelry, and pomp. To be fair, when questioned during an interview, he cited religious injunctions that require him to gold covered holy rudraksha beads. But this is exactly the point, it is Venus that has caused this situation to arise where the exact agamas he follows require him to do this.

The 4th and 9th house give education and higher education. Whilst Nityananda ji may not have had a conventional schooling or education, he is well versed in scriptural knowledge of vedas and agamas. In fact the 9th house is the house of the Guru and spiritual pursuits.

Both Jupiter and Ketu are signifying the 4th and 9th house. While we have seen the significance of Jupiter earlier, Ketu is the natural karaka for moksha. Ketu gives the characteristics of mantra-tantra, adhyatma and extreme penance. Both Rahu and Ketu, not being physical presences but mathematical points in space, both these grahas signify things that do not have a material existence. 

Neptune in Scorpio is also indicative of the love of occult, deep thought, and interest in alchemy and chemicals. In fact Neptune is in conjunction with Mercury (and Mercury is not afflicted) gives intense intelligence, great memory, self knowledge, philosophy.

Thus the most prevalent houses and grahas in the chart signify things like, education, teaching, temples, religious rituals, spiritual pursuits etc. This will indicate how Sri Nityananda became a Guru.
