Vimsamsa and spirituality

I had some materials on the subject and here i am producing the same.Most
probably it was written by Sanjay Rath's student Visti larsen.
Points to be noted:
1. or our purpose o! deciding the source and spiritual strength" our !ocus is
on the Sun. #he sun is the $tma" and its strength bestows more $tma%&n'()*na
+,nowledge o! the soul- on the nati.e./hether the nati.e is mo.ing towards this
,nowledge or away !rom this ,nowledge will determine whether the person is
spiritual or not. #his is seen !rom the relationship between the 0agna lord and
the Sun. Placement o! the Sun in trines or 1uadrants !rom the 0agna lord is
highly conduci.e towards spirituality or mo.ing on the spiritual path. 2ther
combinations su3er !rom some 4aw" and re1uires correction. Incase o! other
combinations" determine i! a single planet lin,s the 0agna lord and the Sun"
either through aspect" lordship" conjunction" etc. I! so" then that planet will
bring the spirituality and should be propitiated. 5.en i! the nati.e'67897:6s
spiritual path is a tough one" the mutual relationship between &upiter and lagna
lord will be conduci.e !or
spiritual li!e" as the nati.e will be guided towards spirituality by a
competent ;uru.#his will howe.er result in the acceptance o! a new religion" as
the nati.e rejects their birth religion indicated by the Sun.Instead o! the
lagna lord" i! this is analy<ed !rom the chara '()*tma,'()*ra,a" we can
understand the nati.e'67897:6s inner spirituality.
I! neither o! the abo.e mentioned lin,s e=ists" there is no reason to enter the
nati.e'67897:6s Vimsamsa
>. #he ?!th house re.eals what type o! spiritual practices interests the
nati.e. #hese can be .ery dar, i! an a@icted Venus is associated as Venus is
the ;uru o! the $sura +those who do not !ollow the laws o! the Sun-" but there
mere association o! &upiter will put the nati.e on the right path and correct
their mista,es.A'()*la SarpaB$mrita Coga'67897:6s along the ?!th house a=is can
bloc, ones prayers and mantra'67897:6s" and tends to cause a lot o!
dissatis!action in the nati.e and lead them into wrong practices or generally
ma,e them con!used or !rustrated in li!e. #he nature o! the planets in the ?!th
house or i! none '6789 D joined the lord" will indicate the root cause
!or nati.e'67897:6s interest in worshipping. '8)E I! the Sun is associated with
the ?!th house the nati.e worships radiant" !ather%li,e" ,nowledge% gi.ing
?gures" li,e 0ord Shi.a" or the Sun itsel!.'8)E Moon indicates deities who are
motherly" nurturing caring" soothing and gi.e peace and calmness" li,e '(7FGri
HmaBPar.ati.'8)E Mars indicates celibate deities" who are endowed with power and
weapons which they use to protect and ?ght.'8)E Mercury indicates deities who
are able to assimilate to any surrounding. #hese !orms are curious and joy!ul in
nature and are eager to learn. #hey are non%.iolent in nature.'8)E &upiter
indicates deities immersed in ,nowledge" teachers" and !orms which are beyond
physical !orm.. Venus'67897:6 association with the ?!th house indicates a
desire to worship deities who gi.e blessings in relationships" gi.es long li!e"
healing and all the lu=uries o! li!e" li,e '(7FGri 0a,shmi.
'8)E Saturn indicates !orms which are immersed in dar,ness" are la<y or cause
ignorance. In such cases the nati.e is ad.ised to worship !orms li,e Iiran,ara
or Iarayana" to protect their own intelligence !rom !alling.'8)E R'()*hu
indicates !orms which are mysterious in nature" which are highly aggressi.e and
.olatile +li,e sna,es-J due to their eagerness to battle and which bestow
results easily" no
matter the cost. In such cases the nati.e is ad.ised to worship Kurgatinashinyai
or Kurga" to ensure they do not !ollow a wrong path in their worship.'8)E Aetu
indicates !orms which lac, direction or a body o! their own" li,e spirits"
deceased indi.iduals" etc. I! Aetu is associated with the Sun the graha attains
a body and that too
!rom Shi.a" hence this is supposed to be the son o! Shi.a '6789 D ;a'()Le'()Ma.
Nence incase o! Aetu'67897:6s in4uence people are generally ad.ised to worship
;anesha to ensure that Aetu does not destroy their intelligence and direction in
li!e.Should these grahas be a@icted" the dar,er side o! the deity emerges"
whilst Satt.ic in4uences
enhance the purer sides o! the deities and leads the nati.e towards spirituality
and emancipation.
O. Na.ing ascertained the nati.e'67897:6s worship" the ne=t step is to analy<e
the success in doing so" i.e.whether they will be steady in their worship or
obstructions will come.#he regular prayer or engagement in worship is seen !rom
the '(7FPr'()Qdha o! the ?!th house. Saturn or R'()*hu in4uencing the same
causes irregularity in ones worship. &upiter and Sun will ma,e the nati.e steady
and immo.able in ones worship.
$ll the abo.e details about the persons pre!erred deities" the nature o! their
worship and etc"can be studied !rom the R'()*shi.
or which purposes the nati.e approaches the deity and the details about who
introduced them to this worship and how they per!orm the worship must be seen
!rom the Vimsamsa.
