Languages
Traditionally, Language originates in the human structure, within the cave of Brahma.
"Jupiter must be the karaka for language.
If he is in lagna or aspects the 9th house, one will know several languages. The second house indicates speech.
If Ketu is in the second or the lord of the second happens to see the second then the native will become well versed in a number of languages.
The second house and Jupiter and the most important factors for judging linguistic capabilities."
--B.V. Raman, A Catechism of Astrology, p. 39
Guru has a big body, tawny hair and tawny eyes, is phlegmatic, intelligent, and leaned in all shastras.
-- BPHS Ch. 3 [Planetary Characters & Description], Shloka 27
Jupiter is the "Guru of the Gods". He is the teacher of teachers; the high-priest; the voice of Truth. His portfolio includes wisdom, ritual excellence, and joy.
Psychically, Guru indicates the native's "permission" levels set at birth.
Karmically, Guru tells us what type of talent, gift, and privilege is stored in the "credit account" created by generous actions in past lives.
Physically, Guru expands everything He contacts. He can change the size of the person's annamayakosha (the "food body"). When He sends a drishti to the lagna, for example, Guru makes the person look large. When He sends drishti to Chandra, the person is reproductively fertile.
Emotionally, Guru is relaxed and confident.
Socially, Brihas-pati is compassionate & generous.
Intellectually, Guru is omniscient Himself & a wonderful teacher to others.
"It wouldn't be bad if you didn't have statues, but it has become indispensable to have Buddhist texts which deal with the structured path to train our mind.
"It wouldn't be bad if you didn't have statues, but it has become indispensable to have Buddhist texts which deal with the structured path to train our mind.
If you have Buddhist texts, read them for yourselves and to friends who visit. That way you can help others to understand Buddhist ideas.
For instance, it is interesting to read Milarepa's life story & songs. We find in them many enlightening lessons. Buddha's image alone will not purify us of karmic obscuration....
It is very important to study the scriptures. They are not to be just stacked up on the altar. They must be cultivated in our mind. ...[we] take great interest in having the symbolic representations of Buddha's body, speech & mind.
I feel it is more important to acquire & read scriptures, the symbolic representations of his speech. You can pay homage to them, you can make offerings to them; above all, you should study them."
