Hi everyone, welcome to Vedic Astrology Study
Podcast. Through this medium, I cover a breadth
of some basic principles and analysis of the
beautiful ancient science of Jyotish. Gifted
to humanity by wise ancient seers of India, typically
there are playlists of different kinds with case
studies to have a practical grounding of those
principles. In this series which will become
a part of the Panchanga playlist, I am covering
the science of Muhurta or the timing of events,
activities, dietary control, tuning your attitude
to any given day of the month since this is a
lunar calendar. As per Vedic astrology, the human
being should regulate their daily activities
in alignment with the lunar cycle. and the corresponding
tithi of the day. You might say this is the beginning
of the use of science of Jyotish consciously,
with awareness and in full view of self and this
space -time reality we find ourselves in. Since
this deals with your everyday cycle of energies
that each of us deals with on a daily basis,
it's a good beginning point to start Jyotish
which Panchanga studied first, before you get
to the charts part. If you do not know what your
current tithi is, where you are on the planet,
you can download the Jyotish app, which is indicated
on the slide with its logo on android or iphone
store. Download it, set its location to wherever
you are on the planet. Then click on mahurta
and panchanga part as is shown on the slide,
and it will tell you the current panchanga aspects,
the tithi, the vara, the karada, yoga and nakshatra,
which is typically where moon is transiting over.
Then use these series as a study material to
guide your daily activities, diet, attitude for
any given day. The way I shall cover each tithi
here begins with the element and deity followed
by the energy of the day, what to do, what to
avoid, suggested mindset, elementary, dietary
consideration and the content is covered both
for Shukla paksha and Krishna paksha tithis.
For the basics of this, see the previous tithi
videos in this playlist. Let's get started. Now
I am going to be discussing Trithya, the third
day of the lunar cycle on the waxing side or
waning side as shown on the chart in the slide.
Trithya, what is the third one? Third energy.
Also combine numerology if you are such an enthusiast.
Energetic quality, Tritia is a jaya tithi, which
means it carries the vibration of victory and
success. The element associated is ether, space,
akasha. Lending Tritia an expansive unifying
quality, it is ruled by Mars as it is the third
day, also think Gemini, which is where Mars is
exalted. But tempered by the jaya category, is
ruled by Jupiter in space, which is interestingly
can bring people together despite the intensity
of Mars. The Lord of this tithi is Vishnu, the
sustainer principle. What sustains this creation
is Vishnu. And legend says Parashurama, the warrior
sage incarnation of Vishnu was born in Trithya,
indicating courage combined with righteousness.
Akshaya Trithya on Vaishak, Shukla Tritiya is
one of the holiest Tritiyas considered in Vedic
tradition, literally meaning undiminished third,
reflecting this Tithi's inherently positive,
ever -growing energy. In short, Tritiya is a
dynamic, fruitful energy and carries a conquering
spirit in a constructive way. Recommended activities
for Tritiya. All kinds of variety of auspicious
activities, hence the name which means imperishable.
It's often associated with Shukla Tritiya in
certain months. Also, initiating ventures and
commerce, launching new business, signing important
contracts or deals, indicating financial investments
is favourable on Tritiya. Traditionally, ventures
start on this day are believed to flourish without
diminishing, especially true for Akshaya Tritiya.
Marriage and social ceremonies. Tritiya is considered
a good mahurta for weddings and similar ceremonies.
It promises victorious harmonious outcome. Many
communities don't even require separate astrological
mahurta if Akshay Tritiya is available due to
its inherent quality. Education and creative
arts. Beginning music lessons, art or sculpting
projects on Tritiya is encouraged. This day supports
the skill development and the creative process.
Think Mars, think Gemini, think third house.
Journeys and moving homes. Undertaking journeys
or shifting residence is fine on this day. The
victorious energy is thought to remove obstacles
en route. Personal grooming and health routines.
Interestingly, it is cited as an ideal day to
cut hair, trim nails and shave, for example.
This suggests Tritiya is good for cleaning up,
renewing oneself physically. One can also start
new health regime or exercise program on this
day, riding on the day's proactive energy activities
to avoid. There are no stringent avoidances for
Tritiya since it's broadly auspicious. However,
to make the most of its quality, avoid laziness
or indecision. Don't sit on your ass. Get up
and move on this day. This day is to act rather
than procrastinate. Also, while Tritiya is good
for almost all positive endeavors, one might
avoid purely destructive or bitter activities.
For example, starting a legal fight or engaging
in a revenge attitude. It's never a good idea
anyway, as the energy favors constructive victory.
If you find yourself feeling overly aggressive,
mars influence, avoid impulsive arguments. Otherwise,
there's an open field on Tritiya for most. tasks.
In some regional traditions, if Tridhiya falls
on certain weekdays like a Sunday with specific
nakshatras, there could be minor cautions. But
these are advanced nuances. Suggested mindset.
Have courage. Have initiative. Get into an optimistic
zone. Step into the victor's mind rest, mindset
and take action. Action oriented Tridhi. This
triti bestows confidence and to overcome obstacles.
It has an expansive, Jupiterian side. So temper
your courage with wisdom and ethics, like Parshurama.
Embrace challenges as opportunities. If starting
something new, do so with faith that it will
grow. The word Akshaya implies what you begin
now can yield long -lasting results. Also, triti
can bring people together, social victories.
So foster teamwork and goodwill. Aim for a win
-win situation. Isn't that true for all of life?
Devotional mindset fits well too, since Vishnu
is the deity. You can read Vishnu Sastra Nama
if you want. On this day, every Tritiya day,
Shukla or Krishna Bhaksh. Diet, considering Ayurveda.
On this day, eat to support energy and clarity.
You might be busy with new endeavors, so choose
sattvic energizing foods. that won't make you
sluggish. Whole grains like rice millet, fresh
vegetables, protein like dal or milk can keep
you fuelled. Given Tritya's mass influence, be
mindful not to have too much overly spicy foods
because it heats up the mass in your body. Pitta
If you're prone to anger or impatience, moderate
the chilli factor. Don't keep it very spicy.
Cooling herbs are better like coriander and mint
to keep the pitta balanced. Stay well hydrated.
Mars can be a very drying kind of energy. If
you are engaged in physical work or travel, carry
water and cooling drinks like cumin, coriander,
fennel tea and so on. No fasting is required
on this day. Typically, the fast may happen on
Akshaya Tridya for spiritual purposes. Eat a
nourishing breakfast and lunch and drive your
productivity of the day. In the evening, lighter
dinner is good since the day's energy was very
high. You will sleep much better with a calm
stomach. In summary, the fuel the warrior and
the creator in you, eat for strength but also
for mental clarity. Avoiding tamasic foods like
junk food, alcohol and so on. This sets you up
for triumph, whatever you pursue. Now let's see
the specifics. Let us speak of Tritya now, Shukla
Tritya, the waxing cycle of the moon, which happens
once a month. Now the moon is third day after
the Amavasya or the new moon. Okay, so there
is partial illumination starting here. What is
the energy of the Shukla Tithiya? What you should
be doing on this particular day? Now, the deity
is Lord Vishnu and this is the Jaya Tithi. Under
the deity there is the box, tiny box as you can
see. Always pay attention to the energy of the
Tithi itself. Jaya Tithi, Jaya means victory
and success. Energy of conquest by overcoming
obstacles, courage and achievement. Achievement
good for debates competition and launching strong
Initiators because it's a warrior class you see
think third house effort think 8 ,000 ashtami
Think 13th trayodashi all these ones on the Krishna
and the shukla side are Jayatities, okay? Let's
start with the energy of the day this bold victorious
and expansive third day after the new moon is
an energy of growth and forward motion. Now you
can begin something. Ether opens space for both
courage and creativity. This is the ether. Element
is ether. Vishnu is the sustainer. What to do?
What is so called auspicious on this day? Auspiciousness
in this context is what is good to do and what
to avoid essentially coming into the 3D world.
Start ventures requiring courage or public visibility.
Acts of generosity, charity and collective projects
are good to do on this day. Marriage alliances,
forming alliances between families. Marriage
is always between families as viewed in the Vedic
tradition. Because after all, you are not just
two people getting hitched, you are marrying
two families. You are marrying two DNA lineages.
It's very deep if you want to see it that way.
and it's all over in astrology also it's chart
the fourth house is your mother tenth house is
your mother -in -law for example it's like that
it's everything goes layers and layers deeper
okay back to this one community gatherings is
good on this day and cooperative works anything
to cooperate with what to avoid overconfidence
or reckless gambling don't go too outward moon
is not yet fully Shining, okay? Solo battles
when teamwork is called for. This is an energy
of teamwork. Think third house. Third house is
the house of neighbours, of friends, even of
your colleagues in the beginning. Actually that
is sixth house but still, it's a teamwork. What
we achieve together as victory. Think of that
when you think of Tritian. Overloading schedules
without balance is not a good idea on this day.
Suggested mindset is victory with humility, courage
tempered with cooperation. Isn't that something
we need to learn in this civilization? Everybody
wants courage and pomposity, but it has to be
tempered with a cooperative, collaborative vibe,
so to speak. Expansion that includes others,
not just self. Invoke Vishnu for protection and
right sustenance. If you do nothing else, enjoy
this. Just recite Vishnu's ashranama. You'll
get so much out of it. He's the Lord of everything
here. This entire Maya is Vishnu's Maya. The
diet, supported diet on this day. Fresh, expansive
foods, fruits, leafy vegetables, light grains
and so on. Hydrating and sattvic meals to keep
the energy. Energy clear, drinking lots of water,
especially with good intent. This is one thing
people miss a lot. Moon is your guidance. It's
water energy, it's cancer, it's spices. Whenever
you're drinking water, which we do on a daily
basis, always set the energy right. Drink with
good intent. Don't drink with bad thoughts in
your mind. When just drinking water, imagine
that simple. Also, avoid eating heavy meats.
In fact, avoid eating meats altogether. Intoxicants,
yes, not a good idea. Excessively spicy foods
that excite and inflame. All diseases in the
body harbor an internal inflammation and so many
podcasts nowadays people are discovering about
this, isn't it? Don't inflame the body too much.
Inside, internal inflammation, that spicy foods
will cause that. Especially on this day, avoid
such things. Now let's see the Krishna Tithya
part.
