Guru = "double L-8"

The true basis of religion is not belief, but intuitive
experience.
Intuition is the soul's power of knowing God.
To know what religion
is really all about, one must know God.
~~ The Essence of Self-Realization

 Birth-time is provided by the
SRF for their widely admired spiritual teacher.
Distinctive features of the
Nativity
-
the classic nodal
trine (from Rahu or Ketu) usually found in the nativities of spiritual
figures, is present in D-1
-
Rahu
trine for extraordinary life path and fame as a great
teacher is present in D-1.
-
The magnificent rising
Moon
in Magha lagna signifies spiritual kingship through the high priesthood of Magha.
-
Death in Rahu/Ketu/Mangala period:
07-March-1952, age 59.
-
Lords of 4, 5, 8 and 9 occupy the tantrik and
transformative 8th-from-Chandra.
King-makers of
Raja Yoga, the L-5 Guru and the
L-9 Mangala, are together and exceptional strong in a rashi of Guru
-
but the king-maker pair occupies
domain-8, the house of tantra,
magic, re-birth.
-
The native is a king due to L-5 + L-9
(and L-1 Surya in putra bhava for genius) but the expression of kingship
is entirely in the world of mysteries, hidden forces, and sudden
upheavals of catastrophic force.
-
Magical initiations
due to
Guru + Kuja in Ayur bhava. Mangala gives a relatively brief lifetime and a
sudden death.
L-12 Chandra in Simha lagna
-
the native is strongly identified
matters of vyaya bhava such as
the bridge between the astral world and the material world, dreams,
meditation and sanctuary spaces such as monasteries and healing centers
The two benefics Guru & Shukra bless this
incarnation with broad influence.
-
Lagnesha Surya + Budha in putra bhava
denies children, but grants extraordinary capacity to channel divine
intelligence. A wonderful teacher but not the conventional schoolmarm.
Teaches according to one's own knowledge. L-1 in putra bhava = karaka for
authorship, esp. biography (writing about one's own self).
|
Dominant lords
ranked by number of tenants
L-1/L-12 Sun-Moon and
L-3/L-10 Shukra predominate for Paramahamsha

At the moment the world's spiritual traditions have greatly
degenerated.
It is very important in such times that the
practitioners themselves make especially strong efforts to gain
realization.
To permit the lineages of transmission to disappear is to allow
the world to plunge into darkness.
~~ H.H. Dalai Lama. (1994). The
Path to Enlightenment. Glenn H. Mullin (Trans. & Ed.). www.snowlionpub.com

"an increasing ability to serve is the
only reliable sign of spiritual progress"
|
Compassion is the desire for
another to have freedom from suffering.
Love is the desire for
another to have happiness.
~~ H. H. Dalai
Lama
