Good morning beautiful people, welcome to my
channel. Since there is so many case studies
already published using Amatya Karaka, Atma Karaka,
now 2nd Lord, 6th Lord, 10th Lord and so on,
all the case studies are coming towards you,
helping you to ground what is you, as in what
is your personality, your panchanga and how does
it tie into what you will do in the world. Essentially
that's all, career is folks, don't make a big
thing out of it. Doesn't matter what your HR
department or your friends or your families or
your boss tells you. Career or whatever you call
career is what you do in the world. It may be
anything from arts, fine arts, yoga teacher,
gym teacher, anything. Music, arts, dance, so
on so forth. But there is a misconception people
don't take this tithi, the thing called the tithi
very seriously. So I'm going to be doing now
a series. which I am going to expand more on
the concept of Tithi and what it means. So here's
the introduction. If you have already seen this,
skip this part and go to the next one. Okay?
This is introduction. It will be common to all
the particular podcasts. What is Tithi? Tithi
is determined by the angle between the sun and
moon in your natal chart. It remains fixed for
life. It doesn't depend what period of life you
are in. From birth to death. Each Tithi is in
the range of 12 degrees. Like you can see the
table over there. Okay, so it goes from 0 to
12 pratipada, dvittiya is 12 to 24 and so on
in intervals of 12 degrees of angle. Number two,
titi represents your emotional body hence requires
you to pay great deal of attention even before
you go into the study of horoscope, divisional
charts and so on. There are a total of 15 titis,
one set for the waxing half cycle of the moon
which is the shukla going from new moon to full
moon. Shukla means white in Sanskrit. Second
half of tithis is going from full moon back to
near moon which is prefixed by Krishna or black.
It's given Krishna because he was dark in color.
All remedies, quote unquote, which are done within
Vedic Astrology are done for tithis, not Karana,
Yoga, etc. Keep this in mind. Now within each
tithi, what shall I cover? What will you cover
are these eight points. Element of the tithi
and the deity. The ruling deity is the main thing
there. You got to understand the energy of the
deity. You can do more research now. There is
GBT and all the rest of it. Psychic abilities.
Number two. What are your psychic abilities?
What are your real superpowers? Each one, there
is one, okay? Each one has a superpower. We're
just uncovering what that is for each tithi.
Number three. How to enhance them. Number four,
what to be wary of. There are always pluses and
minuses. This is a realm of duality, so everything
will have a plus and a minus. We'll see that.
Five, the personality traits of it. How it actualizes
in your personality. And the life lessons, what
you should be learning from that for this lifetime.
The remedy for it. We'll see the remedy part
also. And last, we will see the differences between
the Shukla part and the Krishna part of every
dhiti. For example, there is Pratipada, 0 to
12. And there is the, in the Shukla part, in
the Krishna paksha part, there is Pratipada from
180 to 168, the minus 12, right? The full moon
going towards new moon. That's the separation.
Okay? So we will see all of this. Let us begin.
Before I begin with the tithi, I just wanted
to leave you a quick note of downloading the
Jyotish app. It's an icon I have marked in the
presentation above. You can find it in Play Store,
Android, whatever. And it's a free app where
you can find out... your tithi, your birth tithi,
that is horoscope, as well as the transiting
mahurta. It's a free app. Don't worry. There
is nothing attached to it. Some noble soul has
made this for all humanity. It works very well.
You can use it for mahurta. You can use it for
plotting your own horoscope and also checking
the tithi. And then come to these and learn more.
Now let's begin. Now let us speak of Ekadashi
or the eleventh tithi in the lunar cycle. If
you are born on Ekadashi, this one is for you.
Ekadashi happens when the angular distance or
the angle between the sun and moon in your natal
chart is between 120 degrees to 132 degrees.
The element is fire and they are ruled by Rudras,
the fierce forms of Shiva, the one which wants
to calibrate, change, permanently change something.
And since it's a fire element, it's got very
active active, deep, subconscious root in it.
Basically, all the negative side or the downside
of ego or ego itself is everything stored in
the subconscious, isn't it? Your thoughts, your
belief systems and so on. What you believe, you
think is right and wrong. Fire as a form of Rudra
in this particular tithi will go to that level
and change it. This is what appears. to the individual
as destructive. Actually, it is not. In a sense,
even if the deity appears very fierce form, it
is in destruction or recalibration of ego itself,
from the subconscious level. And nowhere is it
more apparent than Sutla Ekadashi, basically
Ekadashi. Ascetic virtue and vision, this is
what an ascetic means in the Vedic tradition.
Going inward, uprooting from the subconscious
level of things. So the element here being fire,
ruled by the Rudras, the fierce forms of Shiva
or the active form of consciousness, psychic
ability, these natives are drawn to austerity,
fasting and mantra. See, now you are going inward.
Now you are going to find out the root cause
of everything. Their psychic siddhi lies in tapas
or meditation or tuning into the spiritual heat
of things. Kundalini and if you start doing meditation
or mantra japa, it's going to generate a lot
of heat in the body, I can tell you from experience.
You need to learn how to manage that. That's
why people wear the Rudraksha. It cools the body
from that fiery temper that arises in the body.
Burning away karmas and gaining profound inner
vision. That's what this dithi is for. So basically
it's spiritual 101, isn't it? Like you are born
under that. And if you are born in Ekadashi and
your 8th house in your natal chart or 12th house
is very active, then this will be even more pronounced.
That's the way you look at these things. and
we don't even have careers. Like we talk of careers,
I'm making so many case studies and so on. There's
a lot of material on this channel in case studies.
But we talk of careers. What career will you
put such people? We don't even acknowledge such
things in this civilization, isn't it? We need
to make career paths for these people. They can
channel devotion into purification and often
achieve one -pointed concentration in spiritual
practices. Very good for yoga. Raj Yoga, meditative
practices, Kriya Yoga, whatever forms of yoga
there are, which involve having a one -pointed
practice, like something to do with Dharana or
Dhyana, for example, the eight limbs of yoga
of Patanjali. Anyway, back to this. How to enhance
this particular tithi? Observing fasts, Ekadashi,
when it happens in transit every month. In the
Vedic tradition in India, everybody fasts, most
of them at least. Have once a meal a day, or
none, if you are that severe. Worship of Vishnu
or Shiva. When you say worship, there is a lot
of misconception around this word. It has been
abused and misused in context. So I would rather
put it to make it simplistic for all listening.
Tune in. Tune in is better. Your soul, you have
the capacity to tune into anything. So tune into
the energy of Vishnu or Shiva. How do you do
that? Well, I found the best way. Since I am
a Panchami born, I can tune into the mantra part.
For others, you might be different depending
upon your tithi. That's why you need to understand
your super power here. Mantra repetition is good
for Ekadashi, just like Panchami. Meditation
to amplify their ascetic powers. A lot of meditation,
single pointedness is required. Because that
fire of Rudra can be very, very chaotic sometimes
if it is not harnessed in certain way. What to
be wary of, there you are. Restlessness, envy
or hypocrisy if they abandon discipline. Their
life lesson is to learn a lot of discipline.
They must remain steady in devotion to harness
their spiritual fire. constructively. It can
be destructive also. Please remember this. Restful
and introspective. This is how they show up in
human personality. Ekadeshi born people are often
naturally in tune with their subconscious. They
are intuitive and often prefer slow and steady
and less demanding work. They cannot work too
much mainstream. Like I said, we need to find
different career paths for this. Hey, let's start
with first acknowledging such a thing exists.
They may struggle with over thinking and need
downtime to recharge. These are the kind of children
or people you will see, they want to rest all
the time because there is so much of fire going
on inside them, burning away everything. So they
just feel like, I must rest, I must rest, I can't
handle this anymore. You will find them talking
like this. The life lesson for them is embracing
periods of rest and allowing creativity to surface.
The whole point of fire as Rudra, as this form
of Shiva, is bringing things from a calmer state,
more from a Shiva point of state. Shiva is the
calm state. Rudra is the active state. There's
so much going on inside them, they don't know
how to handle it. Remedy is to wear loose clothing,
eat light foods, avoid grains, avoid dense foods.
A lot of talk these days, isn't it, about avoiding
dense foods and so on. Let me read you some more
from my notes. Ekadashi people is very absent
-minded. They appear absent -minded. It's a healing
tithi. People like this are advised not to eat
too much dense foods, gluten ones for example.
Resting and lying down in a supine position and
allowing the body to heal itself is the remedy.
Just lie flat on the ground and let things take
over. Let the fire do its work. Wear loose clothes.
We eat very light foods. This will help you generally.
These people have a very strong subconscious
brain. They work with their instincts. These
are not the people for mainstream jobs which
require very high creativity or active jobs.
They need a lot of time and space and idle space
for their creativity from within to come out.
Like I said, eating dense foods like grains are
not good. Fruits are good for them. Eating a
lot of fruits, lighter foods. Things like working
for higher principles, Sagittarian kind of energy
or having goals is not possible for these people.
And even Pisces like letting go or resting because
these people cannot go into a no brain state.
They can be idle but keep thinking. Therefore
they end up having sleep issues. These are from
my notes. Now let us see the Shukla side and
the Krishna side of this. So let's see the Krishna
part and the Shukla part of this ascetic Ekadashi.
It's an ascetic nature, basically. Okay? It's
a detailed one. We can have long conversations
about this. If you need a reading, get in touch
with me. Anyway, Shukla Ekadashi, ascetic virtue
and vision. Going outward, it plays out as growth
-oriented, devotional and purifying. The psychic
inclination for these natives are discipline,
fasting and mantra practice. They are drawn towards
this and they must do this. Because that internal
fire, it's difficult to control. It cannot be
controlled actually, if you ask me. Technically,
it can only be channeled into the right areas.
The fire cannot be quelled. The very nature of
fire is to burn off that which is untrue, spiritually
speaking. They carry the psychic siddhi of tapas
or meditation. Tap actually, tapas to say that
its meditation is incorrect. Meditation does
not encapsulate the core meaning of the word
tapas. Tap means heat. Anything which is hot
is tapas. So it generates an internal heat, a
spiritual fire so to speak, which burns off the
seeds of karma. or latent subconscious thinking,
if I had to put it in modern psychological terms.
The ability to generate spiritual fire that burns
away karmic impurities, that's what Ekadashi
superpower is. And they need to channel this
more than anything else. It grants them natural
higher vision. Again, especially if this is in
more planets. in 8th or 12th house and you are
born under the Ekadashi, you need to really evaluate
what this person is good at. They will automatically
be drawn to all these meditative practices. The
8th and the 12th are symbolic of that, transformative
houses, isn't it? So they should do some fasting,
they should tune into Vishnu or Shiva by the
way of mantras, by the way of sadhanas, having
an inner vision while doing any kind of yoga
for example. Raja yoga for example. Mantra repetition,
very good. Meditation for clarity, yes. It's
more like they need to use that fire, go quietly
inside, by the way of tapas and then ask for
something to be revealed. You're basically asking
the spiritual fire which is latent in you to
guide your path forward. That's what Shukla Ekadashi
should do. Well, what does Krishna Ekadashi want
to do? It's a penitent soul and a mystic seer.
Now if you are Krishna Ekadashi and 8th and 12th
house active in the chart, this becomes really
potent. It's release -oriented, introspective
and karmic. These people become highly introspective.
These individuals embody deep penitence and often
wrestling with desires and karma. They like squirming
in their seats because now the karma is being
burnt by inner fire, the inner Rudra. their psychic
cities, mystic vision, inner sighted gained through
renunciation and self purification. So what would
help them? Complete fasting, deep meditation,
karmic austerities. Now this is a very generic
term. Karmic can be anything. It may be going
into even nature. It may be helping the animals.
It can be any number of things. It's not necessarily
just one thing, but in case of Ekadashi, it becomes
about fasting, it becomes about meditation, it
becomes about mystical sadhana. Sadhana means
discipline, spiritual discipline. Discipline
yourself, put your ego aside, put the random
thinking and the propensities that all these
kinds of social media platforms encourage, participating
in garbage of all kinds of news. Get rid of that,
sit quietly and ask for something to be resolved
if you're looking for some issues in your life.
It dissolves desires, sharpens inner -sight and
frees the karma aspect. The whole condensed form
of Vedic lore in terms of Rudra is burning away
the seeds of the subconscious patterns which
keeps germinating as desires going outward. Once
that is gone with the fire of Rudra, then a room
is made for something new to be born. Then Brahma
comes over and creates something new. This is
the cycle of creation itself. Next, we shall
be discussing Dwadashi or the 12th day of the
lunar calendar on the waxing side or on the waning
side. Meanwhile, take care, be safe, share this
video if you know someone who's born under Ekadashi.
Okay, take care.
