Janma din ka grah ; Janma Samay ka grah

[Planet of the day of birth ; and time of birth]

Pt Bhooshan Priya
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/lalkitab_remedies/ The day of birth has always been considered as important in the traditional Vedic astrology. Traditionally a planet has also been associated with the day. Lal Kitab follows the same tradition. For example if a child is born on a Sunday the planet of the day of birth will be the Sun. This planet will always be playing a very important role in the life of the Jatak. Sun will be known as a Kismat jagane wala grah [ a planet which awakens the destiny ]. This will be a remediable planet. Janma samay ka grah [ planet of the time of birth ] is a new concept used in the Lal Kitab. Lal Kitab gives a table assigning the time slots to various planets [ Arun Sanhita 1952ed ; page 7 / 1952 Urdu ed page # 30] . This planet will be known as kismet ka grah [ planet of destiny ] and will not be remediable. Note : in the table given on page 30 of the 1952 urdu ed. The time between 3 pm till 4 pm is not accounted for. I take this time between 3 pm and 4 pm that of Mars. This is my personal view. Others may have their reservations on it. Since both these planets are of great relevance to the jatak because one of the planets is a planet of destiny and the other one is the planet that awakens it, the Lal Kitab has laid down the procedure for devising an upaya for them. It is not entirely correct to say that the janma samay ka grah is non-remediable . The remedy to be done for that grah has to be done differently. The two statements in the book are : { a } Janma waqt ke grah ko ginte hain kismet ka grah aur grah phal ka ; jiska diya hua phal achcha ya bura atal ho aur jiska koi upaya na ho sake { b } janma din ke grah ko ginte hain , kismet jagane wale grah ka pakka ghar ya rasiphal ka ; yani jiska upaya ho sake Then the book goes on to give an example in detail as to how a remedy should be prescribed for Rahu to a person born on a Monday { moon } at pakki sham { rahu ka waqt}. The book says that prescribe the remedy for rahu , assuming that the rahu is in the 4th house , the pakka ghar of moon.

Now lets take the classic example of a person born on a Sunday between 8am to 10 am { the time allotted to sun}, meaning thereby that sun becomes the janma samay ka grah also . Thus the sun is both the janma din ka grah and the janma samay ka grah. According to the first condition Sun is the kismet jagaane wala grah . And where ever it is placed it will be considered as that of grah phal meaning non-remediable. Now apply the second condition to the above statement : The pakka ghar of the kismet jagane wala grah { sun } would be that of the janma din ka grah { in this case the sun whose pakka ghar is the 1st house } ; which would be considered as of rasiphal and therefore remediable. In other words for remedial purposes the sun would be considered as placed in the 1st house. Lets get back to the original assumption of a person born on a Sunday between 8am and 10am: In this kundali the sun will be either in the 12th house if the birth time is close to 8am ; or in the 11th house if it is close to 10 am. The above conditions mean that if any malefic results are noticed related to the sun , in that case the upaya will not be of sun placed either in the 12th or in the 11th ; instead the upaya will be assuming that sun is placed in the 1st house { the pakka ghar of the janma din ka grah} Thus the upaya for the janma samay ka grah can be done assuming it is placed in the pakka ghar of the planet of the janma din .
