Spirituality 5:
Kriya Babaji
born 30-November 203 C. E.
Maharajas Babaji is a historic and contemporary saint of India, born in 203 C. E. Babaji is known to have retained the physical form of a sixteen-year-old boy, as a result of Tantrik practices taught to him in youth.
In Autobiography of a Yogi, Paramahansa Yogananda identifies Babaji as a guiding spiritual figure for generations of yogis in India.
According to those familiar with Babaji's presence, He is able to assume a bodily form when He desires, and thus physical darshan ("epiphany") of his original fleshly body is available even eighteen centuries after Babaji's birth.
This chart is completely speculative, of course.
Babaji and the 18 Siddha Kriya Yoga Tradition by M. Govindan gives Babaji's birthdate is as 30-November-203 C.E. ("Common Era" = "A.D.")
In that same text, Babaji's place of birth is given as "in a small coastal village now known as Parangipettai, in Tamil Nadu, India, near where the Cauvery River flows into the Indian Ocean."
It is stated that Rohini nakshatra was rising at the time of Babaji's birth.
From these details a speculative chart is constructed, with Rohini rising, and within the time when Rohini would be rising in Parangipettai on 30-Nov-203, the navamsha lagna is placed in Vrishabha with Ketu in D-9 swamsha.
Ketu is a manifestation of Shri Ganesha, who personifies the power of complete separation from the Ego - a siddha which Babaji has completely perfected.
This speculative chart is offered with supreme respect, as an exercise in Jyotisha profiling of great spiritual figures.
The Siddhamsha chart, calculated from the above parameters (Rohini rising, 30-Nov-203, Parangipettai) is displayed at right.
The strongest suggestions of conscious spiritual accomplishment in the D-24 are when the bhagya lords, radix L-5 and radix L-9, emerge as powerful & auspicious players in the Siddhamsha.
Radix L-5 Budha is exalted in D-24; and radix L-9 Shani rises as Siddhamsha L-7/L-8, suggesting control over the death process achieved by superhuman austerity (Kuja yuti Shani; Kuja is exceptionally empowered.)
Distinctive features of the nativity:
Yogakaraka Kuja rises in neechha banga condition (extremely powerful) along with Kuja's own enemy Shani.
Shani denotes extraordinary discipline, separation from family, and harsh conditions of life in general.
Neechha Chandra, lord of Siddhamsha conjuncts Rahu/Ketu, indicators of massive psycho-spiritual transformation, in the D-24 house of bhagya & siddhas - putra bhava.
Yoga of Uccha Budha for systematic, analytical mental capability, with neechha Shukra - indicates shortage of sensual instinct, and a conscious avoidance of "maya" of romantic love.
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.
