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 --> 00:02:10.360 For the basics of this, see the previous tithi 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:13.939 videos in this playlist. Let's get started. Now 00:02:13.939 --> 00:02:16.259 I am going to be discussing Trithya, the third 00:02:16.259 --> 00:02:19.500 day of the lunar cycle on the waxing side or 00:02:19.500 --> 00:02:22.379 waning side as shown on the chart in the slide. 00:02:23.340 --> 00:02:26.099 Trithya, what is the third one? Third energy. 00:02:26.479 --> 00:02:29.979 Also combine numerology if you are such an enthusiast. 00:02:30.319 --> 00:02:34.300 Energetic quality, Tritia is a jaya tithi, which 00:02:34.300 --> 00:02:37.599 means it carries the vibration of victory and 00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:41.860 success. The element associated is ether, space, 00:02:42.219 --> 00:02:46.139 akasha. Lending Tritia an expansive unifying 00:02:46.139 --> 00:02:48.800 quality, it is ruled by Mars as it is the third 00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:52.560 day, also think Gemini, which is where Mars is 00:02:52.560 --> 00:02:56.229 exalted. But tempered by the jaya category, is 00:02:56.229 --> 00:02:58.949 ruled by Jupiter in space, which is interestingly 00:02:58.949 --> 00:03:02.469 can bring people together despite the intensity 00:03:02.469 --> 00:03:06.009 of Mars. The Lord of this tithi is Vishnu, the 00:03:06.009 --> 00:03:09.210 sustainer principle. What sustains this creation 00:03:09.210 --> 00:03:13.830 is Vishnu. And legend says Parashurama, the warrior 00:03:13.830 --> 00:03:17.610 sage incarnation of Vishnu was born in Trithya, 00:03:17.810 --> 00:03:20.210 indicating courage combined with righteousness. 00:03:21.349 --> 00:03:25.110 Akshaya Trithya on Vaishak, Shukla Tritiya is 00:03:25.110 --> 00:03:28.889 one of the holiest Tritiyas considered in Vedic 00:03:28.889 --> 00:03:31.750 tradition, literally meaning undiminished third, 00:03:32.009 --> 00:03:34.789 reflecting this Tithi's inherently positive, 00:03:34.830 --> 00:03:39.009 ever -growing energy. In short, Tritiya is a 00:03:39.009 --> 00:03:42.490 dynamic, fruitful energy and carries a conquering 00:03:42.490 --> 00:03:46.370 spirit in a constructive way. Recommended activities 00:03:46.370 --> 00:03:50.650 for Tritiya. All kinds of variety of auspicious 00:03:50.650 --> 00:03:54.629 activities, hence the name which means imperishable. 00:03:55.449 --> 00:03:58.389 It's often associated with Shukla Tritiya in 00:03:58.389 --> 00:04:02.990 certain months. Also, initiating ventures and 00:04:02.990 --> 00:04:05.969 commerce, launching new business, signing important 00:04:05.969 --> 00:04:10.710 contracts or deals, indicating financial investments 00:04:10.710 --> 00:04:13.729 is favourable on Tritiya. Traditionally, ventures 00:04:13.729 --> 00:04:16.490 start on this day are believed to flourish without 00:04:16.490 --> 00:04:20.189 diminishing, especially true for Akshaya Tritiya. 00:04:20.800 --> 00:04:23.579 Marriage and social ceremonies. Tritiya is considered 00:04:23.579 --> 00:04:26.300 a good mahurta for weddings and similar ceremonies. 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:29.920 It promises victorious harmonious outcome. Many 00:04:29.920 --> 00:04:33.920 communities don't even require separate astrological 00:04:33.920 --> 00:04:36.819 mahurta if Akshay Tritiya is available due to 00:04:36.819 --> 00:04:41.019 its inherent quality. Education and creative 00:04:41.019 --> 00:04:44.199 arts. Beginning music lessons, art or sculpting 00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.930 projects on Tritiya is encouraged. This day supports 00:04:47.930 --> 00:04:50.350 the skill development and the creative process. 00:04:50.670 --> 00:04:53.189 Think Mars, think Gemini, think third house. 00:04:54.269 --> 00:04:56.490 Journeys and moving homes. Undertaking journeys 00:04:56.490 --> 00:04:59.769 or shifting residence is fine on this day. The 00:04:59.769 --> 00:05:02.589 victorious energy is thought to remove obstacles 00:05:02.589 --> 00:05:06.129 en route. Personal grooming and health routines. 00:05:06.350 --> 00:05:09.430 Interestingly, it is cited as an ideal day to 00:05:09.430 --> 00:05:12.329 cut hair, trim nails and shave, for example. 00:05:12.839 --> 00:05:15.459 This suggests Tritiya is good for cleaning up, 00:05:15.620 --> 00:05:18.540 renewing oneself physically. One can also start 00:05:18.540 --> 00:05:21.519 new health regime or exercise program on this 00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:26.160 day, riding on the day's proactive energy activities 00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:29.699 to avoid. There are no stringent avoidances for 00:05:29.699 --> 00:05:32.560 Tritiya since it's broadly auspicious. However, 00:05:33.180 --> 00:05:36.319 to make the most of its quality, avoid laziness 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.060 or indecision. Don't sit on your ass. Get up 00:05:39.060 --> 00:05:42.910 and move on this day. This day is to act rather 00:05:42.910 --> 00:05:46.709 than procrastinate. Also, while Tritiya is good 00:05:46.709 --> 00:05:49.209 for almost all positive endeavors, one might 00:05:49.209 --> 00:05:52.170 avoid purely destructive or bitter activities. 00:05:52.449 --> 00:05:54.870 For example, starting a legal fight or engaging 00:05:54.870 --> 00:05:57.790 in a revenge attitude. It's never a good idea 00:05:57.790 --> 00:06:01.449 anyway, as the energy favors constructive victory. 00:06:02.250 --> 00:06:04.810 If you find yourself feeling overly aggressive, 00:06:05.069 --> 00:06:08.149 mars influence, avoid impulsive arguments. Otherwise, 00:06:08.290 --> 00:06:11.279 there's an open field on Tritiya for most. tasks. 00:06:12.620 --> 00:06:15.579 In some regional traditions, if Tridhiya falls 00:06:15.579 --> 00:06:18.160 on certain weekdays like a Sunday with specific 00:06:18.160 --> 00:06:20.879 nakshatras, there could be minor cautions. But 00:06:20.879 --> 00:06:26.000 these are advanced nuances. Suggested mindset. 00:06:27.000 --> 00:06:30.439 Have courage. Have initiative. Get into an optimistic 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:34.339 zone. Step into the victor's mind rest, mindset 00:06:34.339 --> 00:06:38.740 and take action. Action oriented Tridhi. This 00:06:38.740 --> 00:06:42.439 triti bestows confidence and to overcome obstacles. 00:06:42.720 --> 00:06:45.519 It has an expansive, Jupiterian side. So temper 00:06:45.519 --> 00:06:49.240 your courage with wisdom and ethics, like Parshurama. 00:06:49.759 --> 00:06:53.160 Embrace challenges as opportunities. If starting 00:06:53.160 --> 00:06:55.899 something new, do so with faith that it will 00:06:55.899 --> 00:06:58.579 grow. The word Akshaya implies what you begin 00:06:58.579 --> 00:07:02.939 now can yield long -lasting results. Also, triti 00:07:02.939 --> 00:07:05.199 can bring people together, social victories. 00:07:05.939 --> 00:07:09.509 So foster teamwork and goodwill. Aim for a win 00:07:09.509 --> 00:07:12.129 -win situation. Isn't that true for all of life? 00:07:13.209 --> 00:07:15.649 Devotional mindset fits well too, since Vishnu 00:07:15.649 --> 00:07:18.110 is the deity. You can read Vishnu Sastra Nama 00:07:18.110 --> 00:07:21.689 if you want. On this day, every Tritiya day, 00:07:21.910 --> 00:07:26.589 Shukla or Krishna Bhaksh. Diet, considering Ayurveda. 00:07:27.129 --> 00:07:31.410 On this day, eat to support energy and clarity. 00:07:31.529 --> 00:07:33.910 You might be busy with new endeavors, so choose 00:07:33.910 --> 00:07:37.420 sattvic energizing foods. that won't make you 00:07:37.420 --> 00:07:40.579 sluggish. Whole grains like rice millet, fresh 00:07:40.579 --> 00:07:43.339 vegetables, protein like dal or milk can keep 00:07:43.339 --> 00:07:46.120 you fuelled. Given Tritya's mass influence, be 00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:50.519 mindful not to have too much overly spicy foods 00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:53.519 because it heats up the mass in your body. Pitta 00:07:53.519 --> 00:07:56.759 If you're prone to anger or impatience, moderate 00:07:56.759 --> 00:07:59.740 the chilli factor. Don't keep it very spicy. 00:08:00.360 --> 00:08:02.639 Cooling herbs are better like coriander and mint 00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:06.199 to keep the pitta balanced. Stay well hydrated. 00:08:06.540 --> 00:08:09.040 Mars can be a very drying kind of energy. If 00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:11.420 you are engaged in physical work or travel, carry 00:08:11.420 --> 00:08:14.300 water and cooling drinks like cumin, coriander, 00:08:14.579 --> 00:08:17.720 fennel tea and so on. No fasting is required 00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.259 on this day. Typically, the fast may happen on 00:08:20.259 --> 00:08:23.939 Akshaya Tridya for spiritual purposes. Eat a 00:08:23.939 --> 00:08:26.480 nourishing breakfast and lunch and drive your 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:29.240 productivity of the day. In the evening, lighter 00:08:29.240 --> 00:08:31.519 dinner is good since the day's energy was very 00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:33.679 high. You will sleep much better with a calm 00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:37.000 stomach. In summary, the fuel the warrior and 00:08:37.000 --> 00:08:39.720 the creator in you, eat for strength but also 00:08:39.720 --> 00:08:42.879 for mental clarity. Avoiding tamasic foods like 00:08:42.879 --> 00:08:46.279 junk food, alcohol and so on. This sets you up 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:49.259 for triumph, whatever you pursue. Now let's see 00:08:49.259 --> 00:08:52.860 the specifics. Let us speak of Tritya now, Shukla 00:08:52.860 --> 00:08:56.639 Tritya, the waxing cycle of the moon, which happens 00:08:56.639 --> 00:09:00.799 once a month. Now the moon is third day after 00:09:00.799 --> 00:09:03.720 the Amavasya or the new moon. Okay, so there 00:09:03.720 --> 00:09:07.600 is partial illumination starting here. What is 00:09:07.600 --> 00:09:10.259 the energy of the Shukla Tithiya? What you should 00:09:10.259 --> 00:09:13.600 be doing on this particular day? Now, the deity 00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:17.120 is Lord Vishnu and this is the Jaya Tithi. Under 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:19.759 the deity there is the box, tiny box as you can 00:09:19.759 --> 00:09:23.320 see. Always pay attention to the energy of the 00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:25.879 Tithi itself. Jaya Tithi, Jaya means victory 00:09:25.879 --> 00:09:29.659 and success. Energy of conquest by overcoming 00:09:29.659 --> 00:09:32.279 obstacles, courage and achievement. Achievement 00:09:32.279 --> 00:09:36.539 good for debates competition and launching strong 00:09:36.539 --> 00:09:40.320 Initiators because it's a warrior class you see 00:09:40.320 --> 00:09:44.240 think third house effort think 8 ,000 ashtami 00:09:44.240 --> 00:09:48.220 Think 13th trayodashi all these ones on the Krishna 00:09:48.220 --> 00:09:53.179 and the shukla side are Jayatities, okay? Let's 00:09:53.179 --> 00:09:57.419 start with the energy of the day this bold victorious 00:09:57.419 --> 00:10:02.820 and expansive third day after the new moon is 00:10:02.820 --> 00:10:05.960 an energy of growth and forward motion. Now you 00:10:05.960 --> 00:10:10.500 can begin something. Ether opens space for both 00:10:10.500 --> 00:10:13.600 courage and creativity. This is the ether. Element 00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:17.220 is ether. Vishnu is the sustainer. What to do? 00:10:17.460 --> 00:10:20.860 What is so called auspicious on this day? Auspiciousness 00:10:20.860 --> 00:10:23.740 in this context is what is good to do and what 00:10:23.740 --> 00:10:27.320 to avoid essentially coming into the 3D world. 00:10:28.289 --> 00:10:32.490 Start ventures requiring courage or public visibility. 00:10:33.029 --> 00:10:36.129 Acts of generosity, charity and collective projects 00:10:36.129 --> 00:10:39.850 are good to do on this day. Marriage alliances, 00:10:40.169 --> 00:10:42.490 forming alliances between families. Marriage 00:10:42.490 --> 00:10:45.629 is always between families as viewed in the Vedic 00:10:45.629 --> 00:10:48.909 tradition. Because after all, you are not just 00:10:48.909 --> 00:10:51.309 two people getting hitched, you are marrying 00:10:51.309 --> 00:10:54.690 two families. You are marrying two DNA lineages. 00:10:54.809 --> 00:10:56.990 It's very deep if you want to see it that way. 00:10:57.080 --> 00:11:00.419 and it's all over in astrology also it's chart 00:11:00.419 --> 00:11:03.419 the fourth house is your mother tenth house is 00:11:03.419 --> 00:11:06.779 your mother -in -law for example it's like that 00:11:06.779 --> 00:11:10.059 it's everything goes layers and layers deeper 00:11:10.059 --> 00:11:13.679 okay back to this one community gatherings is 00:11:13.679 --> 00:11:16.659 good on this day and cooperative works anything 00:11:16.659 --> 00:11:20.820 to cooperate with what to avoid overconfidence 00:11:20.820 --> 00:11:24.559 or reckless gambling don't go too outward moon 00:11:24.559 --> 00:11:29.220 is not yet fully Shining, okay? Solo battles 00:11:29.220 --> 00:11:31.620 when teamwork is called for. This is an energy 00:11:31.620 --> 00:11:34.399 of teamwork. Think third house. Third house is 00:11:34.399 --> 00:11:37.860 the house of neighbours, of friends, even of 00:11:37.860 --> 00:11:39.799 your colleagues in the beginning. Actually that 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:43.860 is sixth house but still, it's a teamwork. What 00:11:43.860 --> 00:11:47.500 we achieve together as victory.

Intoxicants, 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:19.700 yes, not a good idea. Excessively spicy foods 00:13:19.700 --> 00:13:24.700 that excite and inflame. All diseases in the 00:13:24.700 --> 00:13:28.639 body harbor an internal inflammation and so many 00:13:28.639 --> 00:13:31.159 podcasts nowadays people are discovering about 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:34.879 this, isn't it?
