" 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."

BPL commentary
For Magha births of a masculine valence, the condition of limitless, observing, uncoupling, surrendering, abandoning, disinterested, ethereal, wandering, spacious, dispersing Ketu may considerably affect the outcome.
For those born into the Ketu-ruled paradigm of Ajjha, spirit guides, astral beings, pilgrims, ghosts, wanderers, observers, witnesses, awareness of impermanence, freedom from conventions, disregard for consequences, and inner listening may be especially influential.
Guided by the patrons of Regulus. Their purpose is royal patronage of the spiritual fire traditions.
Fire Magicians
Akasha-ruled Magha gentlemen are distinguished by their rarity and their dissociation from the typical marriage-and-family lifestyle. Like all Ketu births, the Makha masculine figure has less gender polarization and more affinity with cosmic patterns of forgiveness and release.
Generally preferring an unmarried status, Pitri natives are usually aware of their psychic vocation . One understands that the current embodiment, while it be endowed with kingly or celebrity attributes, is intended to serve as a vessel for the Light of Truth.
Although loving beings in the pure sense of permeability and transparency, masculine Makha = most often found in uniquely singular roles that require a certain distancing from conventional relationships .
Given sufficient ability to operate within the earthly dimensions, a subtly dispersed light [halo] may be seen to surround the tangible body.
Themes of separation, disconnection, abandonment, alienation, escape, wandering, annihilation, surrender , and liberation may contextualize Agha's terrestrial experience. Applies also to Chandra in Magha - Regulus
QUOTATION from Shil-Ponde.[1939] . Hindu Astrology Joytisha-Shastra . p 82
" a proud but not an arrogant nature
-
poised, self-contained and dignified.
This man will command respect
-
because of his quiet dignity of manner and bearing.
His position in his community will be secure
-
and his financial standing sound.
His weakness, however, is his susceptibility to the blandishments of the Opposite sex.
He must avoid entanglements
-
which might lead to a loss of dignity,
-
since, to this man, such a loss would be a tragedy."
Mukunda Ghosh with his Father, Bhagabati Charan Ghosh, c. 191x

OUTCOMES - RAHU
champion, innovator, pioneer, start-up
[Rahu in bhava-9] indicates a passionate indoctrinator and an unusual or irregular father-figure [who may be the bio-father or the spiritual guide-guru]
Rahu-9 casts amplifying drishti upon radical lagna, upon Chandra in tanu-bhava-1, upon bhava-3 writing-discussion, and upon bhava-5 charisma
risk-taking father-figure exotic elements infiltrate the scriptural exegesis or the philosophical interpretation of received dogma
unconventional style of dharma transmission
For Yogananda, the extraordinary father-guru function of Rahu-9 gives the effect of yogakaraka Mangala in tantric, undisclosed, confidential matters of randhra bhava-8 . Access to secret texts and rituals, emphasis on psychic empowerment, self-destruction and re-birth
BPL note: it seems a bit preposterous that this nativity would feature Gohanta Yoga The Butcher. Potential for esoteric interpretation.
[Ketu]
kavandha-karaka [headless] chidra-karaka [gaping] vasana-karaka [vacuum]
[for Simha indriya-lagna]
[disregards diplomatic discourse conventions]
[eccentric harmonizing publications]
[incoherent marriage planning]

- [Ketu-Tula] justly dissociates from negotiation * wanders away from compromise * eccentric alliances * abandons agreements * apathetic trades * surrenders trust * ignores restriction on match-making * releases a pale pastel cloud of fair deals into the misty abyss

OUTCOMES - KETU
Our world is a dream within a dream
you must realize that to find God is the only goal, the only purpose, for which you are here.
For Him alone you exist.
Him you must find."
QUOTATION from Tenzing Gyatso . The Path to Enlightenment. [1994] .
" 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."
