Extending Festive Spirit !!

So,the festival has gone as suddenly as it had arrived. In the distance,you can still hear the occasional crackle of a stray rocket or bomb, and your colourful diyas now protectively hold tiny pools of melted wax and ash.Your rangolis are still radiant,albeit slightly dishevelled.

As you walk on the streets this morning,you catch sight of last night's celebrations all around,and you probably see or hear yourself and your loved ones laughing,in that very spot that someone cracked a joke yesterday.

Friends and extended family have now gone back home,making promises to meet again soon.Your kandeels,the bright lively guests,will stay,illuminating your homes for a little longer.

As all the festivities slowly recede into the distance,I ask you for a promise.That in your heart,you will let the lights remain.That in spirit, and in being,your celebrations will continue.That you will attempt to meet your loved ones a little more often. And that the laughter that came in abundance yesterday, will make an appearance everyday.

Here's wishing you all a happy festive spirit, all year round. Lots of love and Laughter Always —  :)

Cow's milk is the most compatible with human mothers milk !

 Cow's Milk is the most compatible with human Mothers Milk !! 

Cow's milk is the most compatible with human mothers milk !
Just recently in the year 2000 the publication Scientific America reported a complete Cow Human Genome comparison had been completed. Among the 768 genes on the cattle RH map, 687 genes or 89.5% had putative human orthologs. Among the 687 mapped genes, 548 genes had human GB4 RH mapping information. 22 were mapped exclusively on the G3 panel and 68 had human cytogenetic assignments exclusively.

All cow chromosomes with the possible exception of BTA9 and BTA23 have centromere repositioning relative to human chromosomes. Four cattle chromsomes show complete conservation of syntegy with their human homologs. The four are: BTA12 and HSA13, BTA19 and HSA17, BTA24 and HSA18, BTAX and HSAX . For all of these chromosomes multiple rearrangements were observed. BTA3 was the only cow chromosome that showed no internal rearrangments when compared with the homologous segment on HSA1. Fifteen cattle chromosomes are seen to be comprised of genes found on only one human chromosome.

Cow milk is the most compatible with human mothers milk then any other species in existence. This is because the DNA of the cow was specifically constructeds to be harmonious with mammalian human DNA. So it can be clearly understood that cow DNA was designed so humans could benefit from cows products being milk, cheese, butter, cream and yoghurt.

Deepawali - Goddess Lakshmi (Deity of Wealth & Prosperity) -:

Deepawali - Goddess Lakshmi (Deity of Wealth & Prosperity) -: 

Wealth is a phenomenon which has existed ever since man has toiled for a livelihood. The status of prosperity has undoubtedly been debated and discussed through the ages, and many socio-religious groups have found solace in shying away from addressing the most basic wants and needs. The Sanatan Dharm too has wrongly been portrayed as a religious tradition whose fundamentals teach that riches and/or affluence are detrimental in an effort to lead a spiritual life. The cardinal four-fold doctrine of the Purushaarth, namely Dharm, Arth, Kaam, and Moksh, are to be visited in full measure bearing in mind the appropriate time. The Vedic tradition is possibly the only religious philosophical body which not only advocates the importance of money, but emphasizes the importance of wealth in one’s life.

त्यजन्ति मित्राणि धनैर्विहीनं पुत्राश्च दाराश्च सुहृज्जनाश्च ।
तमर्थवन्तं पुनराश्रयन्ति अर्थो हि लोके मनुषस्य बन्धुः ॥

If a man suffers from poverty, his friends, sons, wife and relatives leave him, and if the same man earns wealth, all those who abandoned him return. Evidently, wealth is one’s only companion.

Hindu philosophy alone can be so bold as to assess the importance of money, elaborate the significance of success, and in so doing exemplify the insatiable, leech-like nature of humans. Notions such as these prove that the Sanatan Dharm is far more than a philosophical tradition; it is in fact a logical stance on life and its necessities, intertwined with values, engineered to deliver success in this life and beyond. Maa Lakshmi, the Goddess of opulence, who showers Her blessings to Her devotees is an example of how the Supreme incarnates as our Mother Goddess, to relieve our suffering, grant our wishes, and support our being to lead a fulfilling yet “God-centric” life.

वन्दे पद्मकरां प्रसन्नवदनां सौभाग्यदां भाग्यदां
हस्ताभ्यां अभयप्रदां मणिगणैर्नानाविधैर्भूषिताम् ।
भक्ताभीष्टफलप्रदां हरिहरब्रह्मादिभिः सेवितां
पार्श्वे पंकजशंखपद्मनिधिभिर्युक्तां सदा शक्तिभिः ॥
I bow to the One whose hands are lotus-like, who has a pleasant face, and is the giver of good fortune and destiny; who bestows fearlessness through Her hands, and who is ever adorned with precious gems, and beautiful clothes. She is the provider of the fruits of devotion, gracefully waited upon by Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiv, along with others; and who is decked with a Lotus, a Conch shell and an unlimited amount of wealth, Maa Lakshmi is naturally the most powerful.

This incantation describes the multi-faced Mother of the universe, Maa Lakshmi in Her form as the benefactor of Vishnu’s love, who bequeaths triumph, fearlessness, and even Heaven to those She deems as worthy.  This particular prayer to the Mother has vivid lotus-themed imagery which is synonymous with Maa Lakshmi Herself. The lotus has been viewed in the Vedic texts as the most beautiful flower to come from the earth. It is for this very reason that Vishnu, the divine consort of Maa Lakshmi has a clear inclination to it, from His description as being पद्मनाभ, He with a Lotus Navel, to his Lotus-like eyes कमलनयनम्. Bhagwan Vishnu’s love for the lotus is inspired by his affection towards Maa Lakshmi, hence the names Vishnupatni, and Vishnuvakshah, She who resides in Vishnu’s heart.

The priceless stones and stunning clothes which decorate Maa Lakshmi lose their charm when compared to Her pleasing face, or to the compassionate gaze by which She bestows the greatest of fortunes. It is only inevitable that those who are utterly absorbed in devotion to Vishnu, are blessed with the fruits of the three worlds by Maa Lakshmi Herself (सौभाग्यदां भाग्यदां). The Kanakdhara Stotram sung by Adi Shankaracharya extols this virtue of Maa Lakshmi with utmost reverence.

इष्टा विशिष्टमतयोऽपि यया दर्याद्
दृष्ट्या त्रिविष्टपपदं सुलभं लभन्ते ।
दृष्टिः प्रहृष्टकमलोदरदीप्तिरिष्टां
पुष्टिं कृषीष्ट मम पुषकरविष्टरायाः ॥
To Her devotees, and to those who are worthy, She (Maa Lakshmi) grants them a place in Heaven which is immensely difficult to attain. Just by a glance of Her compassion filled eyes, Let the glance of Her sparkling eyes, which resemble the efflorescent beauty of the lotus, fall on me and grant me all my desires!

Maa Lakshmi is foremost our Mother, who nourishes our every need. At times, materialistic pleasures fail to protect us from the grave troubles we may face. It is here where She takes the form of the Navdurga, One divine Mother who encompasses the power of all 9 Durgas and grants protection through Her hands (हस्ताभ्यां अभयप्रदां) to all those who seek Her protection.

There are four types of Dhan, or wealth, prescribed in the scriptures, each with its own attributes and situations.

विदेशेषु धनं विद्या व्यसनेषु धनं मतिः ।
परलोके धनं धर्मः शीलं सर्वत्र वै धनम् ॥
On foreign soil, knowledge is the greatest wealth, at a time of distress, cleverness is what pays off, only Dharm, or righteous deeds can help attain Heaven, but civilised conduct is the greatest wealth at all times, and everywhere.

Surely money, knowledge, and righteousness, all are important from time to time, however one’s conduct is one’s greatest attribute, and one’s most prised possession.

Wealth is the blessing of Maa Lakshmi and must be treated with utmost respect, neither perceiving it to be the root cause of all troubles, neither basking in the short-lived glow of it.

अतितृष्णा न कर्तव्या तृष्णां नैव परित्यजेत् ।
शनैः शनैश्च भोक्तव्यं स्वयं वित्तमुपार्जितम् ॥
One should refrain from disposing completely all desires, as should one not drown oneself in extreme desires. One is in fact encouraged to enjoy self-earned wealth for one’s own pleasure.

Lakshmi Pujan, Diwali, and the Hindu New Year are three events which occur on consecutive days. We pray to Maa Lakshmi to give us a fruitful life of affluence, family unity, and security. May Lakshmi Maa bless the homes of Her followers with riches, success, harmony, and righteous living. May the creator, sustainer, and destroyer of this world, our Mother Goddess Maa Lakshmi, bless our homes and hearts with the riches for this world, and devotion for the hereafter.

Happy Deepawali!!

Vedic Cosmology Decoding the 5th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavatam!

Vedic Cosmology Decoding the 5th Canto of the Srimad Bhagavat!

                                                        

The atheistic gross material scientists cannot understand why life in the universe is rare by their limited vision and
point of view. They call this the Fermi paradox

The Fermi paradox (or Fermi's paradox) is the apparent contradiction between high estimates of the probability of the existence of extraterrestrial civilization and humanity's lack of contact with, or evidence for, such civilizations.[1] The basic points of the argument, made by physicists Enrico Fermi and Michael H. Hart, are:
The Sun is a young star. There are billions of stars in the galaxy that are billions of years older;
some of these stars likely have Earth-like planets[2] which, if the Earth is typical, may develop intelligent life;
presumably, some of these civilizations will develop interstellar travel, a technology Earth is investigating even now;
at any practical pace of interstellar travel, the galaxy can be completely colonized in a few tens of millions of years.

According to this line of thinking, the Earth should already have been colonized, or at least visited. But no convincing evidence of this exists. Furthermore, no confirmed signs of intelligence elsewhere have been spotted, either in our galaxy or in the more than 80 billion other galaxies of the observable universe. Hence Fermi's question, "Where is everybody?"

The Vedas tell us there are 14 different worlds and most of them are made of subtle matter and not the gross biological matter we are familiar with on this middle earthly planet. This understanding is what the material scientists are missing. The gross material scientists do not understand that 95% of the universe is made of subtle matter and that within that subtle matter exists thousands of different civilizations that is undetectable by the 5% of gross matter the scientists only know about. 

Furthermore, the subtle material matter cannot be detected by gross material energy. The scientist doesn’t realize that it is our biological material bodies that restrict us from seeing the material universe in its fullness. All their elaborate technology is made of gross matter and cannot detect the subtle realities of civilizations that exist on planets all around us. 

The Vedas tell us that life in the universe is everywhere (sarva gatah) although the biological stage of life is only found in the middle planetary system. All the higher worlds as well as all the lower worlds are made of subtle matter and the living entities on all those worlds have the same kind of subtle body ghosts have and those in the gross biological body like us, cannot see them or their subtle world.

Some have asked how the ancient sages and devotees new about the subtle characteristics of material nature or the subtle universe that takes up 95% of the material universe. Actually this knowledge is available to all of us; it just cannot be detected with gross material instruments or technology. It can only be detected by developing one’s higher consciousness.

This is why some yogis have this knowledge but such people are very rare in this age. Actually our gross biological body is the covering of our subtle body that is also material; we all have a subtle body also but is presently covered by the biological material body.

So we only presently see part of the material world (only 5%) through our biological body that further only allows us to see that gross material aspects of the universe. We are not seeing the other 95% of the material universe with our electron microscopes, telescopes, The Large Hadron Collider, the Hubble Telescope, space probes etc

The ancients all new about this and such knowledge is found in Vedic literature like the Srimad Bhagavatam that explains how one can have a more complete view of the material universe and even beyond that.

Modern science also agrees that most of the material universe is not seen, they call it dark matter and dark energy however, the subtle material universe is much more than that. So how can science detect the subtle material energy? With gross material means they cannot.

According to the Vedas, such knowledge is attained and realized through pious or even impious activity, by ones actions in this life. All cultures and religions have tales of other worlds they call heavens and hells, well, they do exist but all on the subtle level of material existence that is in the 95% of the material universe we do not see.

Do the bodies of those who exist in the 95% of the material universe we cannot see with our biological body, exclusively exist in the subtle matter? Or does a part of the material universe also exist within different realms of gross matter that are in different dimensions? And can the material scientists eventually detect those gross dimensions? It is difficult for us to say.

Some scientists believe in this multiverse theory which means there are multiple dimensions and parallel realities of this universe all around us, therefore, only in this way could other realities of biological matter also exists in a more or less advanced state.

However, the ‘subtle’ universe where there are no biological vessels or gross matter does also exist. The subtle material body is made of mind intelligence and ego however, such a description is vague because that does not describe the actual bodily form. The fact is the subtle body is a form not made of gross material elements. So what are the elements of subtle matter? The element described in the Srimad Bhagavatam 3.11.40 is ether, this is what subtle material energy is made of.

Srimad Bhagavatam 3.11.39
TRANSLATION
Eternal time is certainly the controller of different dimensions, from that of the atom up to the superdivisions of the duration of Brahma's life; but, nevertheless, it is controlled by the Supreme. Time can control only those who are body conscious, even up to the Satyaloka or the other higher planets of the universe.

Srimad Bhagavatam 3.11.40
TRANSLATION
This phenomenal material world is expanded to a diameter of four billion miles, as a combination of eight material elements transformed into sixteen further categories, within and without, as follows.

PURPORT
As explained before, the entire material world is a display of sixteen diversities and eight material elements. The analytical studies of the material world are the subject matter of Sankhya philosophy. The first sixteen diversities are the eleven senses and five sense objects, and the eight elements are the gross and subtle matter, namely earth, water, fire, air, sky, mind, intelligence and ego.

All these combined together are distributed throughout the entire universe, which extends diametrically to four billion miles. Besides this universe of our experience, there are innumerable other universes. Some of them are bigger than the present one, and all of them are clustered together under similar material elements as described below.

TRANSLATION
The layers or elements covering the universes are each ten times thicker than the one before, and all the universes clustered together appear like atoms in a huge combination.

PURPORT
The coverings of the universes are also constituted of the elements of earth, water, fire, air and ether, and each is ten times thicker than the one before.

The first covering of the universe is earth, and it is ten times thicker than the universe itself. If the universe is four billion miles in size, then the size of the earthly covering of the universe is four billion times ten. The covering of water is ten times greater than the earthly covering, the covering of fire is ten times greater than the watery covering, the covering of air is ten times greater than that of the fire, the covering of ether is ten times greater still than that of air, and so on.

The universe within the coverings of matter appears to be like an atom in comparison to the coverings, and the number of universes is unknown even to those who can estimate the coverings of the universes.

                                Plenteous Hindu's Gods                                 

A plenteous Gods are actually Devatas(Demigods or deities). These deities were one of those living beings created by Lord Bramha at the time of creation. Devatas are the higher beings who resides in higher planets called Devalokas(Heaven). There are not just Devatas(deities) but other higher beings , to name a few are Gandharvas, Yakshas etc. All of them reside in their respective Lokas (higher planets). The number of such planets where life exists is described as 14. The references of the same can be found in Vedas and Puranas. Deities are the ministry of Bhagvan Shri Vishnu(Shri Krishna) created to nurture human for their physical needs. This is very cleary specified, beyond any doubts
           

Please find these references:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ch3:Sh10
saha-yajnah prajah srstva purovaca prajapatih
anena prasavisyadhvamesa vo ’stv ista-kama-dhuk

"In the begining , the creator Brahma created being(including deities) with the Yajna(Sacrifice) and said "By Yajna(Sacrifice) you propagate, and grow , let Yajna(Sacrifice) be your wish-fulfilling cow of plenty"

Ch3:Sh11
Te deva bhavayantu vah devan bhavayatanena
parasparam bhavayantahsreyah param avapsyatha

"By this Yajna(religious sacrifice), you please demigods and then those demigods will nurture you. In this way, supporting each way, you shall obtain supreme good"

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
From above two shlokas we can summarize following important facts.
1. Lord Bramha created all living beings at the time of creation including Devatas.
2. Deities are responsible for nurturing human and other living beings.

It is very clear from the above that Human should please Devatas(demigods) by worshiping them with appropriate rituals. Devatas in turn nurture human. This is the hierarchy of celestial living beings created by Parmatma.

To understand this better, we can draw a parallel with a Governing system. There is a prime minister/President who is the head. He has many ministers under him. Centeral Govt/Federal State is further divided into states/provinces. Each state has one chief minister/Governor who is the head of that state. The states are further divided into smaller governing bodies like districts /counties etc. There are officials at local levels who represent state/center government. This forms the whole governance system.

If somebody wants to submit Income tax he is not going to Prime minister for it, rather he goes to local Income tax office to pay the Income tax. The local office too is called as Income tax office or department.

This system works not only in Governing bodies but in almost all types of organizations, like banks, Institutes, Companies etc. Rather hierarchy is the only way possible to accomplish all complex tasks.

The ministery of God works in same way. Devatas(deities) are the ministry of Lord. The task of deities is divided. Indra is the king of Devatas(deities). Devatas perform their tasks to nurture human and other living beings as per the divine law made by Lord Shri Vishnu. Lord Bramha and Lord Shiva and Lord Vishnu manifested from same Parmatma(Lord) to perform the three major tasks of Universe, the creation, maintenance and destruction.

Human worship deities and deities in turn nurture human. This co-relation and coexistence is the decided by Parmeshwara. Deviation from this co-relation is invitation to the troubles as this disturbs the balance between Devatas and Human. Human worship deities as there are the immediate guardian of human.

I hope this note will help devotees to remove confusion related with Devatas. All such talks of many gods are due to ignorance or propagated for ill intentions. God has his full ministry and all tasks in this universe is well managed by divine laws.

The Nakshatara - (Constellation)

The Nakshatara - (Constellation)

The Nakshatara(Constellation)-signifies a cluster of stars , Kind a map of the Sky . Jyotisha follows the equal Nakshatra division of 27 Nakshatras. All the Nakshatras are of 13°-20' each except for Uttrasala, Abhijit and Sravana......All 27/28 Nakshatara been governed by Vedic Deity's.

The Vedang Jyotisha mentions the Nakshatara names starting both from Krittika and Ashvini. As per Athatrava Veda there are 28-eight(Abhijit) nakshatras in the (AV Kanda 19, Sukta 7) .They start from Krittika and end at bharani. 

All hindu ancient scriputers, Vedas(Arthrveda, Rigveda),, Purana's, Santhnaa Brahmana and hindu epics like Ramayana, Mahabharata & Geeta all mentioned "Nakshatara"

In vedic astrology , study of Nakshatara shows the outcome(destined) depends on the constellation of influences at the time of our birth,thus a comprehensive study of the Nakshataras and planets in Nakshatara and pada's defines our particulars for this lifetime..

Study of Nakshatara's is of paramount importance in finding time to perform specific tasks(rituals, marrige date, start of business etc) as per Muhurata-(elections)-selecting a time based on a particular Nakshatara day & time. deep study of Nakshatara & pada (4)- asserting divination (4-Nakshatara padas signifies Dharma,Artha, Kaama,Moksha )by the positions of the planets, Sun and Moon nakshatara's.

Narendra Modi is born in Scorpio Ascendant , Janama Nakshatara –Vishaka Nak, Moon Nakshatara- Anuradha Nakshatara born –Signifies the royal dignity, rank or position of a king or highest order is in store for him .

He is running Moon MD - Rahu AD Vimoshtari Dasha Moon-Rahu occupies the highly favorable 5/9 axis......
Rahu (AMK) – is in Saturn's (3rd/4th Lord)-Uttrabhadprada Nakshatra. Being Anuradha Nakshtara Moon born , Anuradha also known as the “Stars of Success” signifies great success to him in times to come especially since he is running Moon Dasha and Moon being in Anuradha signifies huge success , name and fame, fortune to him .
Mars being (1st/6th lord)-gives him strength to fight obstacles however Mars being malefic planet here gives him difficulties in life due to his strong attachment to his personal thoughts.

Saturn gives tenacity and controlling attitudes towards those things he expects fulfillment and happiness from. Being (3rd lord) , Saturn is a temporal malefic and gives emotional self-centeredness, and as a natural malefic, Saturn causes separation, lack and loss that are due to this self-centeredness and one’s neediness.
The Sun is the stone the Scorpion hides under, and which affords protection. The Sun signifies his strong identification with his karmas he performs in this life. This manifests as an important relationship to his career and the status follows. The Sun inclines him to work for someone of status or whom he respect(BJP/RSS), but also give a strong inspiration to acquire worldly status through own hard efforts. Sun being 10th house lord, the Sun becomes a temporal neutral and other factors influencing the Sun will determine in which manner he will achieve his professional objectives. Since Rahu’s aspecting his Sun, as a natural malefic the Sun will separate him from those things it influences due to his professional concerns.
Moon being (9th house) lord, becomes the greatest most auspicious benefic planet for him. As a natural benefic, the bright Moon gives pleasant fortune while recognizing grace and indicates his capacity to further things along due to his understanding. As a natural malefic, the dark Moon tends toward more philosophical pondering.
Mars being (as 1st /6th )-lord signifies the great energy with which he overcomes and improves his personal weaknesses and vulnerabilities. This also creates great strength to fight external obstacles, which once destroyed and overcome, give strength to the him.
Mars here also makes him very aggressive when confronted, and also makes for a very hard worker, Mars makes him fight for
his own wellbeing and to destroy opposition. Being Ascendant lord , Mars is responsible for placing him in his rightful place.
The 6th house lordship makes this task one of struggle as the native works out any weaknesses. The 6th house being an upachaya, however, signifies that his position in life will improve throughout life. Mars is also a planet of austerity that may lead to great personal development.
Mars being (1st /6th lord)- rules one benefic house, the lagan, and one malefic house, the 6th house, Mars becomes a temporal malefic according to B.P.H.S. Since Mars being lagna lord, it is nevertheless important for finding his niche, and therefore of benefit to the him even if it does so with difficulty. As a natural malefic, Mars indicates struggles and difficulties in life that are the result of the native's strong attachment to his personal thoughts and ideas.
Mercury being (8th /11th lord)- Mercury is the imprints he finds himself to dwells in. Mercury-(8th /11th )lord, signifies all his desires he needs to transmute. As Mercury is a planet of dealing with others in order to fulfill one's desires.
Mercury gives gains from other's resources and it is Mercury that gives the "Politician", “Leadership” reputation to him. Being the evil(11th /8th house) lord makes Mercury the greatest temporal malefic for him and may incline him to pursue his goals in not so socially acceptable ways, or at worst involve them in underhanded activities(Godhara event).
Jupiter as (2nd /5th Lord)…….. The Jupiter here signifies protection from its own poison. Jupiter as the 2nd and 5th lord is a planet of great intuitive intelligence. Making him a great orator with a natural speaking ability, great memory and skills in predictive sciences and counseling. Jupiter is also a planet of lucky money and speculative luck, as well as giving a knack for manifesting that is needed. His creative ability allows for material productivity as well. Due to the 5th house lordship Jupiter is a temporal benefic and as a natural benefic as well, Jupiter being a planet of grace, providing him protection from material difficulties.
Saturn being( 3rd /4th Lord)- this Saturn gives tenacity and controlling attitudes towards things he expect fulfillment and happiness from. However here Saturn being 3rd house lord, is a temporal malefic and gives emotional self-centeredness, and as a natural malefic, brings issues –(lack and losses) that are due to self-centeredness and neediness.

Results of chanting this prayer,
Of Ganapati will be got within six months,

In writing to Eight wise people,
And offers it to Lord Ganesha,

And would be blessed with all stellar qualities,
By the grace of Lord Ganesha.

Astrology - The Water Signs

The "Orphic Water Element's" -:

The "Orphic Water Element's" -:
Since the elements signifies ways of perceiving life, The Watery Signs(Cancer,Scorpio,Pisces)-experience through sensing & emotions--Cancer's -signifies Nurturing with protective empathy, the Scorpio-Intense /compulsive emotions/desires, the Pisces-Healing Compassions for all sufferings, inspiring, idealism,perfection.........

Astrological Significators for The Water elements -:
The 4th house, Sign Cancer--(aesthetic values,heart,soul, strong emotions-Anger) is like flowing water; there's nothing wrong with it as long as you let it flow.......

The 8th house,Sign Scorpion-(Jealous/Hate) is like stagnant water; anger that you denied yourself the freedom to feel, the freedom to flow; water that you gathered in one place and left to forget. The Scorpio-Stagnant water becomes dirty, stinky, disease-ridden, poisonous, deadly; that is your hate.........

The 12th house, Sign Pisces - On flowing water travels little paper boats; paper boats of forgiveness. Allow yourself to feel anger, allow your waters to flow, along with all the paper boats of forgiveness. Be human.........

The Watery Nakshatara's --:
Ardra -signifies the :Heavy Rains"......... Purva Ashadha-(bridges/canals), and the Uttrabhadprada- signifies the Ocean's, rivers, rain's, riverbeds etc........

The Cancer sign signifies -rivers/canals, Pisces-rivers, Oceans, Virgo- fertile Agricultural fields etc......... The Patala loka (4th house) & the 8th house underground being house of under-earth, bridges............

The Panaparas (2nd,5th,8th,11th) houses & Apoklimas (3rd,6th,9th,12th)houses,signifies a water-tank, a pond,or the well..........
 


Numerologically- :
The longest river of the world is the African "Nile"
is approx.(4160) length in miles) and is approx. (6695)-KM in-Length -approx)........ Now, 4160= 11- Aquarius-(The Mountains)---Source of Ganges brings pious Ganga waters down from North and travel to East, Indian Brahmaputra River-(North-East) - Watery direction..... and 6695 comes to the Saturn's - No. ...........  :)

The below statement by Norman Maclean - also signifies that the Watery Signs signifies the cooling,healing, soothing ethics of sensitivity, predispositions and feeling response's ..........   :)
“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.” ― Norman Maclean

Thus, The beneficent Planets (Moon, Jupitar,Venus) in the Water-Earth signs signifies that one will experience solid & progressive relationships in life and the malefic combinations signifies one will face dull, stagnant, unyielding situations since earth tends to blurred,muddy water, restricting emotional expression and creating misunderstandings in one's life to an extent that one would efface the memory of the time.........
