In astrology, how can I determine my yoni?
In Vedic astrology, there are 13 different varieties of Yoni that can be used to determine sexual attraction and repulsion. Yoni also depicts, to some extent, the closeness we may have with others. Animal is the classification for the Yonis. Sarpa Yoni, also known as Serpent Yoni, is an example of this.
This classification aids in our understanding of the Yoni’s sexual characteristics. And this animal sign classification adds to our knowledge of the attraction and repulsion that exists between two types of Yoni, which we shall address later in this essay. These 13 various forms of Yoni are further divided by gender, with Male Yoni and Female Yoni being the most common.
The Yoni is derived from our Janma Nakshatra, or Birth Nakshatra, as we all know. As a result, knowing our birth Nakshatra will aid us in determining our Yoni type. Yoni is a Nakshatra feature that is independent of the Rashi (zodiac sign). The table below contains information about Yoni kind, animal sign of Yoni, and male or female Yoni according to birth nakshatra.
What does Yoni have to do with anything?
yoni, (Sanskrit: “abode, “source, “womb, or “vagina) in Hinduism, the symbol of the goddess Shakti, the feminine generative power and, as a goddess, the consort of Shiva. The yoni is frequently associated with the lingam, Shiva’s emblem, in Shaivism, the branch of Hinduism dedicated to Shiva worship.
Is it possible for us to marry if Bhakoot’s number is zero?
When there is no point scored in the compatibility score of Bhakoot matching, it is known as Bhakoot Dosha. We can claim that Bhakoot Dosha exists in the kundli matching of the respective guy and female if the Bhakoot matching result is 0 point.
Unlike other scores, the Bhakoot score is either zero or maximum. As a result, there are only two conceivable results from Bhakoot matching for a pair. Either an amazing Bhakoot match will be played, resulting in a maximum Bhakoot score, or there will be no Bhakoot match, resulting in a zero Bhakoot score.
As a result, about one-third of all couples (around 30%) are likely to have the Bhakoot Dosha when matching kundalis. However, practical observations of married couples may reveal various scenarios, and there are numerous additional alternatives. When we’re talking about a community or a larger scale. The fraction of couples with Bhakoot dosha does not remain consistent. The Bhakoot Dosha Exceptions have arrived. This offers up the possibility of canceling or nullifying Bhakoot dosha.
What happens if Nadi’s score is zero?
In the point chart of traditional Match Making done by the Gun Milan system common in Indian Astrology, Nadi and Bhakut have the highest points of 8 and 7, respectively. A defect is generated if either of these two exhibits 0 points on the match making point chart. A Nadi Dosh is made if Nadi is showing 0 points, and a Bhakut Dosh is formed if Bhakut is showing 0 points. But what are these deficiencies known as Nadi Dosh and Bhakut Dosh, and what is the foundation for allocating 0 points to Nadi or Bhakut in matchmaking to signal the presence of Nadi Dosh or Bhakut Dosh? Let’s try to figure out what the theory is behind these flaws and what may be done to fix them.
Let’s start with Nadi Dosh. First, let’s define what a Nadi Dosh is and how it’s made. Every person’s horoscope reveals his Nadi based on the position of the Moon in various Constellations or Nakshatras at the time of his birth. The three types of Nadis are as follows, depending on these positions.
The native is considered to have Aadi Nadi if the Moon is in any of the nine constellations Ashwini, Ardra, Punarvasu, Uttara Phalguni, Hasta, Jyeshtha, Moola, Shatabhisha, or Poorvabhadrapada in his or her natal horoscope.
The native is considered to have Madhya Nadi if the Moon is in any of the nine constellations designated Bharani, Mrigashira, Pushya, Poorvaphalguni, Chitra, Anuradha, Poorvashada, Dhanishtha, or Uttarabhadrapada in his or her natal horoscope.
The native is considered to have Ant Nadi if the Moon is in any of the following constellations in his or her natal horoscope: Kritika, Rohini, Ashlesha, Magha, Swati, Vishakha, Uttarashada, Shravana, or Revati.
If both Male and Female have separate Nadis, a score of 8 is added to the point chart; if they both have the same Nadis, a score of 0 is added to the point chart, and Nadi Dosh is said to be established. For example, if a guy is born in Hasta Nakshatra and a female is born in Ardra Nakshatra, both of them have the same Aadi Nadi, and so Nadi Dosh is established. If both male and female have Aadi Nadi, Nadi Dosh is supposed to induce a divorce or separation. If both Male and Female have either Madhya or Ant Nadis, Nadi Dosh is supposed to cause death of one or both partners. This is why it is advised that a male and female with the same Nadi do not marry. However, some factors are claimed to counteract the effects of Nadi Dosh. If any of the following conditions are met, Nadi Dosh is said to be nullified:
What exactly does Rakshasa Gana imply?
In Vedic astrology, Gana is an important figure. Gana is a symbol for one’s true nature. The three categories of Ganas are Deva Gana (Divine), Rakshasa Gana (Demonic), and Manushya Gana (Human).
Manushya Gana: This can be seen in a lot of people. This category includes those who work and live for their family and relatives. Such folks go about their daily lives and will claim to be busy if someone approaches them for assistance. To put it another way, these people are a combination of good and bad.
Deva Gana: They will have divine nature, and these people will appear infrequently. Such folks work for others without expecting anything in return. They will check into other issues and make suggestions, even if they are unable to work on the problem owing to their busy schedules. They are mostly concerned with the welfare of others. They are generally soft-spoken and generous.
Rakshasa Gana: This evil nature can be present in many persons. These folks will be egotistical and uninterested in assisting others. These persons will have greater advantages than the other two ganas. They can readily and quickly detect bad energy thanks to their excellent sixth sense. They are ruthless.
What is the minimum number of Poruthams required for marriage?
At least 6 or 7 Poruthams must be accessible, including the 5 Dinam – Ganam – Yoni – Rasi – Rajju. This is referred to as Madyamam. If available, 8 or more Poruthams are excellent. The appropriate selection of Girl and Boy Horoscopes can result in excellent Porutham.
Which Porutham is most beneficial during childbirth?
Mahendra Porutham is revered for his progeny, fortune, and longevity. The family will have children and prosper as a result of this. In addition, the husband will be capable of safeguarding his wife and children from the evils of the world and providing for them in both kind and financial terms.
In the absence of dinam and rasiyathipaty poruthams, mahendram porutham is said to suffice. The mahendram porutham is regarded compatible if the boy’s birth star is in the 4th, 7th, 10th, 13th, 16th, 19th, 22nd, and 25th places from the girl’s natal star (uttamam of good). It is deemed incompatible in other positions, such as when the boy’s birth star is 15th from the girl’s birth star.
Anywhere and everyone, marriage is regarded as sacrosanct. It’s a solemn connection between a man and his wife, a commitment to stick together through thick and thin.
Yoni is worshipped in a variety of ways.
While summarizing the contents of chapter 17 of Jnanananda Paramahamsa’s Kaulavalinirnayah, John Woodroffe writes in his introduction: “People who despise semen and menstrual fluid (Vicharayet), the text continues, “forget that the body by which they hope to attain Liberation is composed of these two forms of matter; that the marrow, bone, and tendons have come from the father, and the skin, flesh, and blood have come from the mother.” It goes on to argue that man’s aversion for excreta or urine is unjustified, because these are nothing more than food or drink that has undergone some transformation and contains living organisms, and the Brahman substance is present. The purity of the intellect is what a man should strive for. Everything is pure. It is one’s attitude (Vasana) that is the source of all evil.
Thus, we have ample evidence in the Tantric textual tradition to establish that menstruation is seen as pure and sacred, and that it is a fundamental aspect in certain types of rites, particularly those involving genital worship and sexual intercourse.
The Yoni Tantra, for example, lays out the technique for worshiping Yoni in the form of a discourse between Goddess Parvati and her Lord, Mahadeva, and, as previously said, only a Yoni who has bled is adored. When Parvati asks her husband how a practitioner should worship Yoni, the cosmos’ essence, Mahadeva responds as follows: “A sadhaka who wishes to worship a yoni, which is the shape of the cosmos, should have an erection and place it in Shakti Herself. Mahamaya is the vaginal chakra, and Sadashiva is the penis chakra. There is no doubt that by worshiping them, one gets emancipated while still alive. Bali, flowers, and other items should be offered. If you’re unable to do so, worship with wine, Durga. In the yoni region, one should practice pranayama and perform my six-limbed puja. Rub the linga and the yoni together after saying the mantra a hundred times at the base of the yoni.
Similarly, the Bauls of Bengal, a syncretic group of mystic singers and dancers whose religious beliefs are influenced by Vaishnava, Sakta, Tantric Buddhism, Samkhya, and Sufi belief systems, practice Deha Sadhana, a form of sexual yoga in which sexual energy is transformed into Prema (divine love) and Spiritual ecstasy. Men and women, according to the Bauls, are abodes of two separate parts of the Divine. During the monthly periods, one portion of the divine is supposed to descend in the form of a fish in the women’s Nir, i.e. sexual fluid (literally water). Similarly, the second component of the divine is supposed to be contained in men’s Kshir, or semen (literally milk). The Bauls believe that by practicing sexual Yoga during menstruation, the ‘fish’ (divine feminine component) that’swims’ in the menstrual fluid can be merged with the Kshir, resulting in a state of Yogic bliss or Ananda. To put it another way, the Bauls engage in sexual activity during menstruation in order to achieve divine bliss and spiritual liberation. It is vital to clarify that the sexual intercourse performed as part of Deha Sadhana is strictly a religious act and should not be mistaken with sexual intercourse performed for sensual pleasure or conception. The significance of menstruation during the Deha Sadhana can also be appreciated by the fact that monthly periods are referred to as “Amavasya (New Moon) and “Poornima (Full Moon)” are the names given to Mahayoga (Great Yoga) and the first and third days of menstruation, respectively.
Even Yoga-Shikha Upanishad, which is one of the 108 authentic Upanishads listed in the Muktika Upanishad, refers to sexual sadhana during menstruation as “Raja-Yoga is a type of yoga that is practiced in India. It reads: “Rajas (menstrual fluid) resembling the Japa and Bandhuka flowers in color, well-protected and (representing) the Devi (feminine) essence abide in the vast spot in the centre of the Yonis of beings. Raja-yoga is the union of the Rajas and the Retas (of the male organ), (i.e., Shakti and Shiva). After achieving psychic powers of attenuation and the like, Raja-yoga (the Yogin) shines forth.
Devipuram is a temple in Andhra Pradesh that is a major Devi worship site in the Srividya Tantric tradition. The temple was constructed in the shape of Sri Chakra, the abode of the Supreme Goddess Lalita Tripurasundari, and it houses a Kamakhya Peethama Yoni. Sri Amritananda Natha Saraswati, the founder of Devipuram and a practitioner of Srividya, told Sinu Joseph of ‘Mythri Speaks’ that the majority of priests at his temple were women, and that they were all free to stay at the temple throughout their monthly periods. He went on to say: “We don’t touch what is pure. What we don’t touch is referred to as a Taboo. She was regarded as a Goddess because she (a menstrual woman) was so spotless. This is precisely why a woman is not permitted to enter a temple. At the time, she was a living Goddess. The energy of the God or Goddess present in the Murti will be transferred to her, and the Murti will become lifeless, whilst she (the menstrual woman) will be alive. That’s why they weren’t allowed to enter the temple. Thus, the Guruji of Devipuram clearly equates cleanliness with menstruation and views menstrual women as living Goddesses, while also emphasizing that the practice of not allowing menstruating women into temples was based on the belief that the temple’s energy would be disrupted.
As a result, it is apparent that menstruation is a sacred festival in the Tantrika tradition, one that is ritually pure, potent with many beneficial traits, and an inseparable part of many Tantrika rites. However, most Tantrika activities and the related worldview are highly customized, and their applicability is confined to a certain location, context, rituals, and competent practitioners of these rituals; not to the general public. Despite this limited application, books like Yoni tantra, activities like the Bauls’ Deha Sadhana, and the Devipuram Guruji’s opinions demonstrate that Hinduism does not present a blanket perspective on any problem. Hindu tradition and practices, on the other hand, are tailored to the situations, goals, competencies, and demands of the people. As a result, in Yoni puja, Deha Sadhana, and similar Tantric rituals, menstruation is associated with ritual Shaucha (purity), sexual intercourse, and worship, rather than ceremonial Ashaucha (which restricts sexual intercourse and sacred activities such as devotion).
