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 --> 00:08:03.990 clear. So many videos everywhere in social media 00:08:03.990 --> 00:08:06.850 about this, isn't it? Clearing stuff, having 00:08:06.850 --> 00:08:09.430 light foods and so on, according to culture. 00:08:10.490 --> 00:08:13.329 Overall, eat for strength and balance. Neither 00:08:13.329 --> 00:08:16.670 feasting nor fasting is specifically prescribed 00:08:16.670 --> 00:08:20.709 on this day for this tithi. Now let's get into 00:08:20.709 --> 00:08:23.550 specifics. On the Krishna dhitya, as you can 00:08:23.550 --> 00:08:25.829 see on the pie chart, now we have gone second 00:08:25.829 --> 00:08:28.649 day towards the veining cycle. Although it is 00:08:28.649 --> 00:08:31.370 the veining cycle, you can see more of illumination 00:08:31.370 --> 00:08:34.370 of the moon. Therefore, there is more energy 00:08:34.370 --> 00:08:39.309 available. Okay? So, contrast to Shukla dhitya, 00:08:39.409 --> 00:08:41.289 Krishna dhitya is more productive, isn't it? 00:08:41.330 --> 00:08:43.789 It's not always that which day is not productive. 00:08:43.909 --> 00:08:47.710 It will happen once a month. What's the energy 00:08:47.710 --> 00:08:51.470 of the day? Earth energy, tuned inward, reflective, 00:08:51.710 --> 00:08:54.389 measuring what endures. Although it is good for 00:08:54.389 --> 00:08:58.309 doing something more outward than inward like 00:08:58.309 --> 00:09:02.470 the Shukla Dhrithya. Suitable for karmic balancing, 00:09:02.809 --> 00:09:06.289 settling disputes, restoring harmony. Remember 00:09:06.289 --> 00:09:08.850 the moon is a very harmonious energy, very calming 00:09:08.850 --> 00:09:11.590 energy and you have pretty much good illumination 00:09:11.590 --> 00:09:14.509 on that day. It is just a second day after the 00:09:14.509 --> 00:09:19.159 full moon. What to do? Meditation. reconciliation, 00:09:19.940 --> 00:09:22.899 debt payment, ancestral honoring, something which 00:09:22.899 --> 00:09:25.059 you have forgotten in the modern civilization. 00:09:25.799 --> 00:09:28.320 Vedic traditions and all indigenous traditions 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:30.980 start ancestral honoring. You want the maximum 00:09:30.980 --> 00:09:34.440 power in your life? Give thanks to your ancestors, 00:09:34.940 --> 00:09:36.580 doesn't matter which part of the world you live 00:09:36.580 --> 00:09:40.899 in. Offer water to Tulsi or to plants, their 00:09:40.899 --> 00:09:44.320 ancestral energy will listen. Look at the sun, 00:09:44.419 --> 00:09:47.200 do some sun gazing, ancestral energy will listen. 00:09:47.880 --> 00:09:50.840 Whatever body and mind you have now is the result 00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:54.580 of all the toil and all the energy of your ancestors, 00:09:54.879 --> 00:09:57.019 isn't it? You're not plucked out of a tree for 00:09:57.019 --> 00:10:01.980 God's sake. Grounding practices, gardening, mindful 00:10:01.980 --> 00:10:07.100 housework, slow yoga will help. Writing out goals 00:10:07.100 --> 00:10:09.580 with realistic timelines will help. Planning, 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:13.440 this is a planning phase. What to avoid on this 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:16.440 day? Starting new ventures that need aggressive 00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.759 momentum. This is not a time for regression that 00:10:18.759 --> 00:10:23.340 will come later. Overeating or lethargy that 00:10:23.340 --> 00:10:27.779 leads to stagnation. Again, note when the moon 00:10:27.779 --> 00:10:30.559 energy is this bright. Okay, you can do something, 00:10:31.279 --> 00:10:34.500 but do not do something with an aggressive momentum. 00:10:35.700 --> 00:10:38.039 Overanalyzing past mistakes, something that people 00:10:38.039 --> 00:10:40.080 do all the time and something that the social 00:10:40.080 --> 00:10:43.779 media things promote, isn't it? Too much of over 00:10:43.779 --> 00:10:46.059 -analyzing all the kind of mistakes that you 00:10:46.059 --> 00:10:48.820 have done. And you sit and need to clear this, 00:10:48.820 --> 00:10:51.639 that and the other and God knows what. It has 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:53.740 nothing to do with that. It's just your mental 00:10:53.740 --> 00:10:57.740 game. So don't over -analyze your past mistakes. 00:10:58.820 --> 00:11:02.500 Go towards balance. Restoration. Find the center. 00:11:02.659 --> 00:11:06.320 Find the breathing. Do some yoga. Exercise in 00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.860 breathing yoga. Do some mudras and sit in some 00:11:08.860 --> 00:11:13.679 position. And let things sink in. Suggested mindset, 00:11:14.100 --> 00:11:18.720 acceptance, reconciliation, humility before destiny. 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:21.759 Isn't that a big one right there? People don't 00:11:21.759 --> 00:11:24.559 have this. Too much of arrogance. Too much of 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:27.000 camera everywhere. This is one reason why I don't 00:11:27.000 --> 00:11:29.200 put my camera sticking into my face. I don't 00:11:29.200 --> 00:11:31.779 like to talk to a camera. I'd rather talk to 00:11:31.779 --> 00:11:35.019 a living human being. Treat today as a day for 00:11:35.019 --> 00:11:37.940 quiet corrections rather than bold assertions. 00:11:38.440 --> 00:11:41.840 Important? Respect the limits of what is possible. 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:45.940 Measure twice, cut once. Everything is a measured 00:11:45.940 --> 00:11:50.519 mindset still on the dvithiya. Diet light earthly 00:11:50.519 --> 00:11:54.240 meals like millet, root soups and steamed greens. 00:11:54.559 --> 00:11:56.980 See there's no oil there again. Become lighter. 00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:01.200 Oil gives that heaviness. No fried stuff. Favour 00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:04.279 balanced taste. Slightly bitter and astringent 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:07.759 to clear the heaviness. You got lots of fruits 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:11.259 and vegetables which is used in the Vedic tradition. 00:12:11.519 --> 00:12:14.220 You can Google it and check what classifies in 00:12:14.220 --> 00:12:17.860 this particular thing. The western civilizations 00:12:17.860 --> 00:12:20.740 had not had the good opportunity for all of this 00:12:20.740 --> 00:12:23.279 simply because the climate of geography was bad. 00:12:23.559 --> 00:12:25.820 In India being a tropical country all these things 00:12:25.820 --> 00:12:28.799 grew and the ancients figured out the wisdom 00:12:28.799 --> 00:12:31.840 of how to use this. So check the Vedic tradition 00:12:31.840 --> 00:12:35.320 for all of this. Avoid over -eating and grains 00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:38.480 and diarrhea to keep it moderate and digestible. 00:12:38.700 --> 00:12:41.620 That's the dvittiya on the Krishna side, on the 00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:44.279 veining side, highlighted there. Remember, it's 00:12:44.279 --> 00:12:49.279 a Bhadratithi. So, stability, practicality, cooperation 00:12:49.279 --> 00:12:52.159 and balanced outcomes is highlighted and supported. 00:12:53.240 --> 00:12:54.600 Now, let's go to Trittiya.
