1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,000 Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. 2 00:00:03,000 --> 00:00:07,000 Now these are very popular terms in India 3 00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:12,000 simply because it has been interpreted and misinterpreted many times over. 4 00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000 Of what is your Dharma? What is the path? 5 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:18,000 It is defined as the path you should walk in life. 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,000 Now from the astrological perspective, 7 00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:24,000 since there are 12 houses, 27 nakshatras and all these planets 8 00:00:24,000 --> 00:00:29,000 playing out in each one of these houses and nakshatras as well. 9 00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:33,000 And it falls in Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha, 10 00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:37,000 steps or pada within a nakshatra. 11 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:43,000 Your soul basically is doing nothing more than playing out in prominence 12 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,000 or in dominance of any one of these themes that means to say, 13 00:00:47,000 --> 00:00:52,000 your soul might be playing out more of Dharma, more of Artha, more of Kama 14 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:57,000 or more of Moksha depending upon what majority of planets or points are playing out. 15 00:00:57,000 --> 00:00:58,000 Right? 16 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000 There is nothing like you have to do something else other than what your soul 17 00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:06,000 is telling you via your astrological chart. 18 00:01:06,000 --> 00:01:11,000 You are already doing it by default. You are already following your path. 19 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:16,000 What we are trying to understand by astrological tools is just how best you can do 20 00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:20,000 whatever it is that your soul is asking you to do this lifetime around. 21 00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:24,000 Even if you don't believe any of this stuff, even if you don't 22 00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:29,000 are the least spiritual kind of a person, you are still playing out your Dharma, 23 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,000 Artha, Kama and Moksha. That's what it is. 24 00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:37,000 So if you see the box over there, the house's perspective, 25 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:40,000 this is what the house is demanding. 26 00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,000 The house, first house becomes Dharma, second house becomes Artha, Kama and Moksha 27 00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000 at the fourth house. Then the cycle begins again. 28 00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000 From the fifth house, Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha up till eighth house. 29 00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:57,000 Then it begins the third and the last time. 30 00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,000 From the ninth house, Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha up till twelfth house. 31 00:02:01,000 --> 00:02:05,000 This is from the house perspective and it will always remain the same. 32 00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,000 It doesn't matter what the Ascendant is. 33 00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:12,000 Even if the Ascendant is Pisces, the Dharma will still remain in the first house. 34 00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:16,000 Even if it is Virgo, it will still remain in the first house. 35 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:21,000 So from the house perspective, Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha play out like this. 36 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:23,000 In every chart, it will always be the same. 37 00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:27,000 It doesn't shift just because the Ascendant shifts. 38 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:32,000 The Ascendant of Virgo is more like Artha, more like means, right? 39 00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:35,000 Virgo is a grounded sign. 40 00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:37,000 So it's an earthy sign. 41 00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:43,000 Even if house six appears in the first house in Dharma, it is still, it's Dharma to do that. 42 00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:45,000 You understand what I'm saying? 43 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:47,000 Now let's see from the Nakshatra perspective. 44 00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:51,000 I've just taken Asilesha as an example over here. 45 00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:58,000 Now in every Nakshatra, we saw four padas, four steps it takes, which is Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. 46 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:05,000 Asilesha goes for example from sixteen degrees, forty minutes of cancer, up till thirty degrees of cancer. 47 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000 This is the finishing up of Cancer Zodiac. 48 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:13,000 And in Nawamchai, it plays out from Sagittarius all the way up till Pisces. 49 00:03:13,000 --> 00:03:16,000 That's what Asilesha Nakshatra means. 50 00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:23,000 Now in there also you see the Dharma padha, Artha padha, Kama padha and Moksha padha, the four steps. 51 00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:30,000 That means to say, every Dharma padha of every Nakshatra will always be a fire sign. 52 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,000 In this case, it is Sagittarius. 53 00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:37,000 The Artha padha will invariably be in Nawamchai, an earth sign. 54 00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000 In this case, it is Capricorn. 55 00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:48,000 And Kama padha in every Nakshatra, in the third padha will invariably be an air sign. 56 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000 In this case, being Aquarius. 57 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:56,000 And Moksha padha finally will be a water sign, in this case going from cancer to Pisces. 58 00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:00,000 We are looking at the Nawamchai transgression, yes. 59 00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:11,000 So that means to say, in every single chart, in every single planet also will fall into these respective slots. 60 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:15,000 There are basically four elements we are dealing with. 61 00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:20,000 Earth, air, fire and water, which is Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha. 62 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:28,000 So your soul, when it comes in embodied form, is playing out these four kinds of energies. 63 00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:38,000 Either you are seeking Dharma as in seeking fire and the desire to initiate things, desire to accomplish stuff. 64 00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:43,000 Artha, as in you are trying to get the means to accomplish something. 65 00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:48,000 The materialistic means that you need to accomplish something in this physical world. 66 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:54,000 Kama means you are here to fulfill more of your desire factor, whatever the desires might be. 67 00:04:54,000 --> 00:05:01,000 Sometimes a soul just comes to fulfill some desire, some leftover from past lives, kind of so to speak. 68 00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:07,000 And then there is the Moksha sign, which finally distills everything into an emotion. 69 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:15,000 Whatever we do in this physical world is finally to derive that final quotient of emotion, which is what Moksha means. 70 00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:22,000 We are not speaking about spiritual kind of Moksha, which is liberation from birth and death and all that kind of stuff. 71 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:29,000 We are talking about everyday people like you and me and how the charge can be interpreted in this fashion. 72 00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:46,000 So as to understand a more grounded approach in how we analyze and how we cultivate a useful, meaningful understanding of how to guide ourselves and others around us using these Vedic Astrology tools. 73 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:53,000 Let's take an example because next video onwards I shall be doing some case studies and let's analyze this. 74 00:05:53,000 --> 00:05:57,000 So this is what we will be doing in the case studies next video onwards. 75 00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:01,000 The example is given over there of a birth chart. 76 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:07,000 And as you can see from ascendant right up till Pluto, there is this P with a hashtag. 77 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:13,000 This is the Pada, which it takes. The planet and the ascendant takes that particular Pada. 78 00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:20,000 So if we take a dominance of the Padas this person has, it is more of number one as you can see. 79 00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:27,000 So this person is more interested in initiating stuff. They are the kind of initiating energy. 80 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:32,000 They have more fire element present in initiating the planets. 81 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:42,000 Wherever they are deposited in any one of these houses, the 12 houses, they will give us the signature of what the drive of the individual is. 82 00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:53,000 They are the initiators of something. They come in this entire life to initiate things, new beginnings, finding new institutions, finding new ways to do things. 83 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:59,000 That kind of energy drives them. All the planets are deposited in this particular Pada as you can see. 84 00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:04,000 So this is one of the things that could be considered while evaluating the chart. 85 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:10,000 And this also falls within the particular nakshatra like you can see. 86 00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:14,000 For example, her mercury is in the first Pada of Aslesha. 87 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:22,000 So first Pada of Aslesha is in Sagittarius, which is all about finding the higher meanings of life itself. 88 00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:30,000 You can go through the other videos of mine, speaking of zodiac signs as well. Sagittarius. What's the energy of Sagittarius? 89 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:36,000 And in Aslesha, the themes of Aslesha will as well play out in this person's life. 90 00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:44,000 So initiating can be happening in any one of these 27 nakshatras because each one of them has got the first step. 91 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,000 Each one of them has the second step, third and the fourth as well. 92 00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:57,000 So understand finally to conclude that your soul is here playing out in any one of these kinds of energies. 93 00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,000 You are always following whatever your soul is asking you to do. 94 00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:09,000 There is nothing else that you need to go big around or find one of these 20,000 gurus that are floating around. 95 00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:13,000 Or these fellows who tell you should be doing this, you should be doing that. 96 00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:16,000 It's none of that stuff. That's all nonsense. 97 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:21,000 You're already following your own soul path. It cannot be any other way. 98 00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:30,000 It is by defined by your soul why you are here, not by some other fellow or some other guru or some other charismatic person 99 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:36,000 who comes in, has a popularity contest all over YouTube and have published number of New York Times best sellers. 100 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,000 It doesn't work like that. Don't get carried away by all that kind of nonsense. 101 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:50,000 Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha are simply the four energies of fire, earth, air and water. 102 00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:59,000 Which means your passions, what you want to achieve, your means to accomplish something if you have materialistic kind of approach. 103 00:08:59,000 --> 00:09:08,000 What you want to fulfill as your desires of the mind and what you want to experience as the final quotient as an emotion. 104 00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:12,000 This is what Dharma, Artha, Kama and Moksha mean. 105 00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:20,000 And we will see that by case studies as we go on further in this analysis and in this exploration journey. 106 00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:32,000 Minvaldi Kebisev.
