WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.700 Hi everyone, welcome to Vedic Astrology Study 00:00:02.700 --> 00:00:06.580 Podcast. Through this medium, I cover a breadth 00:00:06.580 --> 00:00:09.320 of some basic principles and analysis of the 00:00:09.320 --> 00:00:13.140 beautiful ancient science of Jyotish. Gifted 00:00:13.140 --> 00:00:16.899 to humanity by wise ancient seers of India, typically 00:00:16.899 --> 00:00:19.000 there are playlists of different kinds with case 00:00:19.000 --> 00:00:21.559 studies to have a practical grounding of those 00:00:21.559 --> 00:00:24.399 principles. In this series which will become 00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:26.940 a part of the Panchanga playlist, I am covering 00:00:26.940 --> 00:00:30.179 the science of Muhurta or the timing of events, 00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:33.560 activities, dietary control, tuning your attitude 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:36.420 to any given day of the month since this is a 00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:40.259 lunar calendar. As per Vedic astrology, the human 00:00:40.259 --> 00:00:42.420 being should regulate their daily activities 00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:46.189 in alignment with the lunar cycle. and the corresponding 00:00:46.189 --> 00:00:49.630 tithi of the day. You might say this is the beginning 00:00:49.630 --> 00:00:52.670 of the use of science of Jyotish consciously, 00:00:53.009 --> 00:00:56.750 with awareness and in full view of self and this 00:00:56.750 --> 00:01:00.729 space -time reality we find ourselves in. Since 00:01:00.729 --> 00:01:03.070 this deals with your everyday cycle of energies 00:01:03.070 --> 00:01:06.269 that each of us deals with on a daily basis, 00:01:06.469 --> 00:01:08.629 it's a good beginning point to start Jyotish 00:01:08.629 --> 00:01:11.909 which Panchanga studied first, before you get 00:01:11.909 --> 00:01:15.219 to the charts part. If you do not know what your 00:01:15.219 --> 00:01:17.140 current tithi is, where you are on the planet, 00:01:17.340 --> 00:01:20.060 you can download the Jyotish app, which is indicated 00:01:20.060 --> 00:01:23.480 on the slide with its logo on android or iphone 00:01:23.480 --> 00:01:26.680 store. Download it, set its location to wherever 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.040 you are on the planet. Then click on mahurta 00:01:30.040 --> 00:01:32.519 and panchanga part as is shown on the slide, 00:01:33.180 --> 00:01:35.640 and it will tell you the current panchanga aspects, 00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:39.239 the tithi, the vara, the karada, yoga and nakshatra, 00:01:39.579 --> 00:01:41.939 which is typically where moon is transiting over. 00:01:42.740 --> 00:01:45.959 Then use these series as a study material to 00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:48.819 guide your daily activities, diet, attitude for 00:01:48.819 --> 00:01:52.719 any given day. The way I shall cover each tithi 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.379 here begins with the element and deity followed 00:01:55.379 --> 00:01:57.980 by the energy of the day, what to do, what to 00:01:57.980 --> 00:02:01.859 avoid, suggested mindset, elementary, dietary 00:02:01.859 --> 00:02:04.739 consideration and the content is covered both 00:02:04.739 --> 00:02:07.420 for Shukla paksha and Krishna paksha tithis. 00:02:07.920 --> 00:02:10.319 For the basics of this, see the previous tithi 00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:13.780 videos in this playlist. Let's get started. Now 00:02:13.780 --> 00:02:16.460 we come to dithiya or the second part of the 00:02:16.460 --> 00:02:19.900 cycle as shown in the pie chart over there. Okay, 00:02:19.939 --> 00:02:23.680 so the top part as you can see is the shukla 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.780 paksha because it's going towards the waxing 00:02:25.780 --> 00:02:28.280 side and the other one is Krishna paksha going 00:02:28.280 --> 00:02:31.939 towards the veining side or the new moon. Let 00:02:31.939 --> 00:02:34.159 me read you some general notes and then we can 00:02:34.159 --> 00:02:39.750 get to specifics here. Dhritya. What is the energy 00:02:39.750 --> 00:02:43.789 of Dhritya? Energetic quality. Dhritya is a Bhadradithi 00:02:43.789 --> 00:02:46.469 associated with earth element and stability. 00:02:46.729 --> 00:02:50.810 It carries the energy of cooperation and duality. 00:02:51.330 --> 00:02:53.969 Number two. Do the numerology also here if you 00:02:53.969 --> 00:02:57.530 wish. A day for good partnerships in practical 00:02:57.530 --> 00:03:00.430 matters. Think even Taurus. The presiding deity 00:03:00.430 --> 00:03:04.789 is Vidhata. Form of Vishnu or Brahma as the ordainer 00:03:04.789 --> 00:03:09.169 of creation. These are energies of creation folks. 00:03:10.030 --> 00:03:12.949 It is traditionally seen as ideal tithi to start 00:03:12.949 --> 00:03:16.310 new ventures. The Ashwini kumars or the divine 00:03:16.310 --> 00:03:19.229 twin physicians, think Ashwini nakshatra for 00:03:19.229 --> 00:03:22.689 example, were born on this tithi, infusing it 00:03:22.689 --> 00:03:26.530 with healing and supportive vibrations. Overall 00:03:26.530 --> 00:03:29.210 dithiya's energy is grounded, supportive and 00:03:29.210 --> 00:03:33.669 growth oriented. Recommended activities are Beginning 00:03:33.669 --> 00:03:36.110 new projects or ventures. Dvithiya is considered 00:03:36.110 --> 00:03:39.229 to be auspicious for inaugurating projects, business 00:03:39.229 --> 00:03:43.310 or studies. It is literally recommended as an 00:03:43.310 --> 00:03:47.830 ideal tithi to start new ventures. Education 00:03:47.830 --> 00:03:50.569 and arts. This is a great day to begin music 00:03:50.569 --> 00:03:54.889 or art lessons or any learning endeavour. The 00:03:54.889 --> 00:03:57.629 stable energy supports steady growth of skills. 00:03:58.780 --> 00:04:02.099 foundation laying. In Murta, Dvithiya is favorable 00:04:02.099 --> 00:04:04.400 for laying foundations, whether literally or 00:04:04.400 --> 00:04:07.180 for construction or metaphorically for starting 00:04:07.180 --> 00:04:11.300 a new job or career. It's often chosen for starting 00:04:11.300 --> 00:04:14.000 construction of homes or other buildings, Vastu 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:17.879 -related work. If you don't know what Vastu Shastra 00:04:17.879 --> 00:04:20.360 is, you can Google it and check. The Indian science 00:04:20.360 --> 00:04:24.189 of aligning your home in your work spaces, all 00:04:24.189 --> 00:04:27.129 kinds of human living spaces according to the 00:04:27.129 --> 00:04:30.990 principles there. Marriage and social occasions, 00:04:31.250 --> 00:04:33.430 weddings and engagements can be performed on 00:04:33.430 --> 00:04:36.930 dhitya if or other factors align. You have to 00:04:36.930 --> 00:04:39.889 consider other chart factors, okay? And it's 00:04:39.889 --> 00:04:42.709 considered auspicious for harmonizing relationships. 00:04:43.670 --> 00:04:46.089 Family get -togethers and strengthening bonds 00:04:46.089 --> 00:04:48.490 like bhaiduj which is celebrated in the north 00:04:48.490 --> 00:04:51.930 of India, sibling bonding. is observed on Karthik 00:04:51.930 --> 00:04:56.069 Shukla Dvithya. Travel and moving, good for short 00:04:56.069 --> 00:04:59.589 trips. Moving into new residence, Griha Pravesh, 00:04:59.810 --> 00:05:02.509 as the days and steady energy bodes well for 00:05:02.509 --> 00:05:06.189 a smooth transition. Activities to avoid, there 00:05:06.189 --> 00:05:08.870 are a few taboos on Dvithya, but one classical 00:05:08.870 --> 00:05:12.069 injunction is to avoid oiling the head or body 00:05:12.069 --> 00:05:16.269 on this day. Why? Oil stands for Saturn, isn't 00:05:16.269 --> 00:05:18.290 it? That's the element. You can go through the 00:05:18.290 --> 00:05:22.449 Saturn part in this channel. So, oil if you put, 00:05:22.709 --> 00:05:25.149 it slows down things. In other words, keep heavy 00:05:25.149 --> 00:05:28.170 oil massages, applying oil to the hair on dhutia, 00:05:28.350 --> 00:05:31.829 don't add satin to it. Traditional lore suggests 00:05:31.829 --> 00:05:35.149 it may invite bad luck or health issues. Similarly, 00:05:35.569 --> 00:05:38.290 heavy oil based tasks like lubricating machinery 00:05:38.290 --> 00:05:41.949 are sometimes postponed. Other than that, dhutia 00:05:41.949 --> 00:05:46.000 is broadly auspicious. Just ensure normal prudence, 00:05:46.240 --> 00:05:49.019 avoiding signing important contracts if dvdya 00:05:49.019 --> 00:05:52.139 coincides with inauspicious weekday like if dvdya 00:05:52.139 --> 00:05:56.319 falls on a Saturday, don't do it. Also, given 00:05:56.319 --> 00:05:58.959 the day's bias for positive beginnings, one might 00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:01.639 avoid confrontations or legal battles. Don't 00:06:01.639 --> 00:06:05.560 go to court on this day. Avoid confrontations 00:06:05.560 --> 00:06:08.360 with your boss or any kind of strife because 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:13.019 this is a constructive energy. Dvithya is not 00:06:13.019 --> 00:06:16.519 bad per se. Energy is good for building rather 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:20.339 than destroying something. Suggested mindset, 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.879 cooperation and balance. Embrace a harmonious 00:06:23.879 --> 00:06:27.220 nurturing attitude with Dvithya's earth element, 00:06:27.519 --> 00:06:30.439 encourages being grounded and practical. Work 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:33.120 with others. It's a good day to form partnerships, 00:06:33.740 --> 00:06:37.600 resolve issues with closed ones. Cultivate patience. 00:06:37.839 --> 00:06:40.319 Number two energy supports teamwork rather than 00:06:40.319 --> 00:06:44.800 individual glory. A healing mindset is also beneficial 00:06:44.800 --> 00:06:48.319 since Ashwini Kumars, the rulers of Ashwini Nakshatra, 00:06:48.579 --> 00:06:52.399 influenced this city. Focusing on health, helping 00:06:52.399 --> 00:06:56.079 others and doing charitable acts feels natural. 00:06:56.860 --> 00:06:59.300 Stay optimistic and balanced as this day can 00:06:59.300 --> 00:07:02.100 amplify what you start. So start with positivity. 00:07:03.660 --> 00:07:06.829 Coming to diet now. Regarding the Ayurvedic science, 00:07:07.149 --> 00:07:09.910 Dvithiya's energy being earthy and stable means 00:07:09.910 --> 00:07:12.329 you can enjoy nourishing foods that ground you, 00:07:12.490 --> 00:07:15.430 like whole grains, root vegetables, balanced 00:07:15.430 --> 00:07:19.470 meals, support the stable expansion of this energy. 00:07:19.990 --> 00:07:23.009 Of the day, if you are initiating health routines, 00:07:23.089 --> 00:07:26.170 consider starting a wholesome diet today. Avoid 00:07:26.170 --> 00:07:29.029 excessive oils or fried foods on this day, interestingly, 00:07:29.470 --> 00:07:31.910 just as oiling externally is also discouraged. 00:07:32.329 --> 00:07:34.509 Don't bring saturn when you're starting new stuff. 00:07:34.720 --> 00:07:38.660 Oil is Saturn. Instead use moderate amounts of 00:07:38.660 --> 00:07:41.800 healthy fats, ghee or olive oil. And opt for 00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:44.819 easily digestible preparations. This can help 00:07:44.819 --> 00:07:48.180 maintain a clear, steady mind. Prevent lethargy. 00:07:48.339 --> 00:07:50.920 That's why prevent that oil, okay? Saturn is 00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:54.139 lethargy, Saturn is oil. So don't use that on 00:07:54.139 --> 00:07:57.259 this day. Hydrating with herbal teas or warm 00:07:57.259 --> 00:07:59.839 water with a pinch of lemon can keep your system 00:07:59.839 --> 00:08:03.649 clear. So many videos on everywhere in social 00:08:03.649 --> 00:08:06.850 media about this, isn't it? Clearing stuff, having 00:08:06.850 --> 00:08:09.509 light foods and so on, according to culture. 00:08:10.490 --> 00:08:13.310 Overall, eat for strength and balance. Neither 00:08:13.310 --> 00:08:16.670 feasting nor fasting is specifically prescribed 00:08:16.670 --> 00:08:20.730 on this day for this tithi. Now let's get into 00:08:20.730 --> 00:08:24.230 specifics. Now let's start with dvittiya, the 00:08:24.230 --> 00:08:27.329 second step or the second day after the new moon, 00:08:27.649 --> 00:08:30.170 okay? After the new moon is finished the second 00:08:30.170 --> 00:08:32.330 day, it's marked on the pie chart over there. 00:08:32.929 --> 00:08:34.830 That's the one we are talking about. The dvittiya 00:08:34.830 --> 00:08:37.490 on the cycle of the waxing side. That's why it 00:08:37.490 --> 00:08:40.210 is shukla dvittiya. Shukla means white in Sanskrit. 00:08:41.230 --> 00:08:43.750 Which stands for stability, healing and grounding. 00:08:43.970 --> 00:08:46.769 Now remember this is a bhadratithi. Under the 00:08:46.769 --> 00:08:48.970 deity it's marked there. Which are the bhadratithis? 00:08:48.990 --> 00:08:52.409 The second, the seventh and the twelfth. On the 00:08:52.409 --> 00:08:54.370 waxing side and on the waning side. These are 00:08:54.370 --> 00:08:58.710 the bhadratithis. They indicate stability, practicality, 00:08:58.889 --> 00:09:01.110 cooperation, and balanced outcomes. That's what 00:09:01.110 --> 00:09:03.870 you should plan your activities for. Mahurta 00:09:03.870 --> 00:09:06.590 is a science of planning your activities, diet, 00:09:06.750 --> 00:09:09.330 and so on. Since ancient times, this has been 00:09:09.330 --> 00:09:12.929 followed in India. Energy of the day. What's 00:09:12.929 --> 00:09:15.870 the energy of Shukla Dhritya? Setting off the 00:09:15.870 --> 00:09:19.029 spark from Pratipada onto something more grounded. 00:09:19.129 --> 00:09:20.950 Now I covered this something in personality. 00:09:21.029 --> 00:09:24.269 How it manifests if you're born on Dhritya. Now 00:09:24.269 --> 00:09:27.039 we're speaking of Mahurta. As in every month 00:09:27.039 --> 00:09:29.580 this happens. Once a month this will happen. 00:09:30.000 --> 00:09:31.639 Right? Each one of this happens once a month. 00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:36.519 It's a 30 day cycle. So stable earthy energy 00:09:36.519 --> 00:09:39.799 is suitable for binding, harmonizing and strengthening. 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:42.960 This is the energy of the day. Forget all those 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:47.779 bogus 12 zodiac signs in solar system that newspapers 00:09:47.779 --> 00:09:50.200 and magazines tend to give. That's all rubbish. 00:09:50.379 --> 00:09:53.500 That's not Jyotish. Jyotish is the science of 00:09:53.659 --> 00:09:56.220 the actual things that are there in any given 00:09:56.220 --> 00:09:59.860 day. Mohurta is this actual happening. Because 00:09:59.860 --> 00:10:02.080 we are stuck between two luminaries, the sun 00:10:02.080 --> 00:10:04.779 and the moon, they determine what energies are 00:10:04.779 --> 00:10:08.120 provided. You don't determine that. You try to 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.360 align with them. That's the wisdom. What to do? 00:10:11.600 --> 00:10:15.039 What is auspicious, so to speak? Family bonding, 00:10:15.259 --> 00:10:18.100 domestic rituals, marriage blessings, naming 00:10:18.100 --> 00:10:20.580 ceremonies, as is carried out in the Vedic tradition. 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:24.669 These are all Vedic traditions. Healing practices, 00:10:24.970 --> 00:10:27.990 laying bricks, literally or figuratively, making 00:10:27.990 --> 00:10:32.610 long term plans. Strengthen financial or relational 00:10:32.610 --> 00:10:35.090 foundations. See, we are still in the foundational 00:10:35.090 --> 00:10:38.370 energy because the moon is still pretty much 00:10:38.370 --> 00:10:42.029 covered. The entire concept is based on moon 00:10:42.029 --> 00:10:44.590 getting more and more and more strength as we 00:10:44.590 --> 00:10:46.830 move towards the 180 degrees, the full moon, 00:10:46.909 --> 00:10:52.200 when sun is opposite to the moon. So, You should 00:10:52.200 --> 00:10:55.179 always tune yourself into, when understanding 00:10:55.179 --> 00:10:58.000 the tithis, you tune yourself into understanding, 00:10:58.059 --> 00:11:00.879 well, how much of moon energy do I have? How 00:11:00.879 --> 00:11:04.460 much of mind do I have? Is it still subdued by 00:11:04.460 --> 00:11:07.820 the soul, the sun? Because sun will cover up 00:11:07.820 --> 00:11:10.179 everything else, so your mind is clouded, not 00:11:10.179 --> 00:11:13.600 wanting to do things in the earthly plane. So 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.360 don't do anything too far out, we'll come to 00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.200 that in the later tithis, as we go forward in 00:11:19.200 --> 00:11:24.350 the month. What to avoid? Rushed travel or impulsive 00:11:24.350 --> 00:11:27.330 choices, confrontational debates that unsettle 00:11:27.330 --> 00:11:29.669 harmony. See, you are not going out outwards. 00:11:29.990 --> 00:11:33.210 See, these are all the hints. Risky speculation, 00:11:33.629 --> 00:11:36.110 unstable ventures. Be cautious not to do anything 00:11:36.110 --> 00:11:39.429 like that on a Shukla Ditya Day. The moon is 00:11:39.429 --> 00:11:41.850 still pretty much covered like you can see there. 00:11:43.149 --> 00:11:46.330 Suggested mindset is of steadiness, patience. 00:11:46.639 --> 00:11:50.220 and an ear for truth, listening. It's not about 00:11:50.220 --> 00:11:53.019 always going on a verbal diarrhea, listen on 00:11:53.019 --> 00:11:56.320 this day. Approach the day like earth, holding, 00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:00.440 nurturing, enduring, and slow most of all, slow 00:12:00.440 --> 00:12:04.419 and steady. Listen in, this is a time for listening 00:12:04.419 --> 00:12:07.620 in. Whatever people around you are saying, whatever 00:12:07.620 --> 00:12:13.279 you are reading, absorption. Diet and supported. 00:12:14.199 --> 00:12:17.259 Suggested mindset, ok we are on that. Studied 00:12:17.259 --> 00:12:20.200 nice patients, approached earth, ok. Lean on 00:12:20.200 --> 00:12:23.539 cooperation rather than competition, see. Again, 00:12:23.960 --> 00:12:26.700 listening in. Listen to what people around you 00:12:26.700 --> 00:12:28.940 are saying on that day. Some hints you might 00:12:28.940 --> 00:12:32.620 get for your path. Diet and supportive, what 00:12:32.620 --> 00:12:36.259 to do and what to avoid in diets. Roots, vegetables, 00:12:36.659 --> 00:12:40.950 whole grains, nuts, grounding foods. Diary in 00:12:40.950 --> 00:12:43.750 moderation like milk and ghee to strengthen the 00:12:43.750 --> 00:12:47.029 ojas. Ojas is your natural aura of the human 00:12:47.029 --> 00:12:50.309 body. Each one of us has one. You can google 00:12:50.309 --> 00:12:52.750 it, GPT it if you want to research more on that. 00:12:53.629 --> 00:12:56.169 I can go on and on about that and start making 00:12:56.169 --> 00:12:58.049 stuff on that but I don't want to bore you with 00:12:58.049 --> 00:13:01.090 that. Let's stick to the focus. Avoid stimulants 00:13:01.090 --> 00:13:04.389 and very light foods, airy foods that increase 00:13:04.389 --> 00:13:06.929 restlessness. Air is a moving element, isn't 00:13:06.929 --> 00:13:10.289 it? So very airy elements, gassy elements like 00:13:10.289 --> 00:13:14.509 beans and stuff, avoid on this day. That is Shukla 00:13:14.509 --> 00:13:17.129 Dvithiya. Now let's see Krishna Dvithiya.
