Ascendant is the point of ecliptic on the eastern horizon at a specific time. Let us calculate the ascendant step by step To calculate this point tropical longitude of sun is required. Step 1: Calculate the tropical longitudes of the sun. Tropical longitude of sun = Nirayana longitudes + Ayanamsha. Step 2: Calculate the difference between the birth time (LMT) and a sunrise on a given day. This is called as Ishta kala . Step 3: Consider the sign in which the sun is in and the degrees he has traversed in that sign. ( Note: Consider the tropical longitudes of the Sun. ) Step 4: Calculate by direct proportion the expired portion of the sign the sun is in at the time of sunrise. Step 5: Calculate the unexpired portion by deducting the expired portion of the sign as calculated in the fourth step. Step 6: The duration as calculated in the 5 th step should be deducted from the Ista Kala . If duration of the sign is greater than Ista Kala then ig...

Many of you may know that Shree Saraswathi is a goddess of 14 Vidya or sources of knowledge and 64 Kala or art forms. Therefore, she is also a goddess of creation and creativity.

The relative strength of a planet either being in the sign of the friend or enemy is first ascertained. Moreover the temporary friendship or enmity is also ascertained. The combination of temporary and permanent relationship gives us more comprehensive combined relationship. This relationship is applied to sapatvargas and then the strength is ascertained. 2. Out of shodahsavargas Rasi, Hora, Drekkana, Saptamsa, Navamsa, Dwadashamsa and Trimsamsa together create saptavarga.

In one of my posts ( How cow is our mother can bull be our father ), I explained why cow is called ‘Gomatha’ or mother cow in Indian culture. Along with calling mother (as we have milk of the cow), it is also important to understand why only Indian cow milk and not any other cow milk. Recently I came across an idea of A1 and A2 type of milk. Milk generally has three parts: Fats, Whey and milk solids. The milk solid part is composed of many different proteins, which have their own names, lactose, and other sugars. We are interested in protein part of the solid. One of these proteins is called casein, of which there are many different types, but the one casein we are interested is the predominant protein called beta- casein . In fact, there is only one difference between A1 & A2 milk. The difference in A1 and A2 beta-casein is the amino acid histidine rather than proline at position 67. The issue...
