HOROSCOPE OF SHRI RAM

HOROSCOPE OF SHRI RAM








Shri Ram was born in the month of
Chaitra, in Treta Yug, at Ayodhya on the ninth tithi of Shukla Paksha.
According to Maharishi Valmiki, Shri Ram was born at mid-afternoon, and at that
particular moment, sun was exalted, Moon was in Punarvasu Nakshatra and all the
planets were either exalted, benefic or in their own rashi. Karka(Cancer) rashi
was rising at lagna.




Now the above are the observations of
a Maharishi, whom we all hold in high esteem, and they cannot be challenged.
They are the basis on which the horoscope of Shri Ram is to be made. We have to
accept them as historical details of date and we NEED NOT temper with it.

Since it is difficult to visualize
the mathematical astronomical data of that time (we know that the mathematical
data is generated by computation of actual movement of heavenly bodies at that
time, and since we, at present have very little information about Treta Yug, we
have to wait for further research), it will be difficult—rather impossible to
mathematically (or, should we say astronomically) calculate and compute the
horoscope of Shri Ram. We can therefore make a rough sketch of Shri Ram’s
horoscope and leave it at that.

 




That precisely is the reason for
writing this article—lot of people are claiming on TV channels that they have ,
using computer, casted the horoscope of Shri Ram and have determined the exact
date of birth. This is not possible, using the existing mathematics and parameters, and
we all have to agree that they are doing a great disservice to the Hindu
community and religion by staking such false claims. Let’s elaborate:

Maharishi Valmiki have mentioned the
following important parameter (which cannot be tempered with):

a)   

Sun is exalted. Now we know that the
Sun gets exalted status in ARIES.

b)   

Moon in Punarvasu nakshatra and in
Cancer rashi and lagna.

c)    

Tithi is Naumi (ninth) shukla paksha.

  

Mathematically speaking the exaltation
of Sun, in Aries, is from 0’ to 30’. Since tithi mathematically means (moon –
sun)/ 12, and ninth tithi falls between 96’ to 108’, we can straight away say
that even if the sun is at 00’ Aries, moon has to be between 96’ to 108’ to
satisfy the tithi criteria ( range of each tithi is 12’). It is important to
note that the Sun cannot be at any degree less than 00’ (as then it will not be
in Aries), as it will not be exalted then. Punarvasu nakshatra extends from
80’00” up to 93’20”.That means that if one is computing the birth chart of the
Shri Ram, one of the above three criteria will NOT be met. In case you keep Sun
in Aries, and have ninth tithi, Moon would have crossed Punarvasu. In case you
place Moon in Punarvasu, mathematically you are not going to get ninth tithi.
If you want to keep Moon in Punarvasu and retain ninth tithi, Sun has to be
shifted back further and it recedes from Aries to Pisces. And in Pieces, Sun is
not exalted. This, put mathematically, would mean the horoscope cannot be made.




    



That does not mean we should
manipulate, deceive TV channels and people watching them by making false
claims. Further research will and should come up with more information so that
Shri Ram’s kundli can actually be casted. This is the information Yug, and we
can expect answers to all questions pertaining to ancient Hindu history, but
please do not make false claims. This is a disservice and has to be discouraged by
all concern.

Given on top is a rough chart of
possible horoscope of Shri Ram. Moon alone is in lagna. Lot of astrologers has
placed Jupiter also in lagna. They have strong and valid reason for this. Shri
Ram was Maryada Purushottam Purush and one who commanded highest respect from
every one- as such, they argue,  Jupiter
has to be in Cancer in lagna. With all humility and utmost respect to them I
disagree, the reasons are as follows:

When all planets are in exalted rashi
or in own rashi, the person will be an emperor and command respect even if he
is in Jungle. As such Jupiter need not be in Cancer in lagna. I have placed
Jupiter in sixth, in Dhanush rashi. The reason being that Jupiter signifies
Dharm and Shri Ram have throughout his life, fought for establishing dharm.
Secondly Jupiter in lagna would have granted him a high degree of happiness through
children and wife, but Jupiter in sixth, in own house, would easily restrict
it. Finally when a planet owns two rashi and is placed in one of his own rashi,
it tends to forget to promote the affect of other rashi owned by him.

 In this case Venus is exalted in Pisces, and
Pisces is owned by Jupiter. Venus in Pisces would have (if Jupiter was NOT in
Sagittarius) granted extreme pleasure and satisfaction through female company,
which was not the case with Shri Ram. As such Jupiter in Dhanush did not allow
the yoga in Pisces to flourish. 

The other placement which is
regularly discussed in various Jyotish article, is the placement of Rahu and
Ketu. Regarding exaltation sign of Rahu and Ketu there is difference of opinion
among Masters of Jyotish, some feel it is exalted in Gemini (Rahu) and
Sagittarius, other say they are exalted in Taurus and Scorpio. I would like to
go with the opinion that Taurus, for Rahu, and Scorpio for Ketu is the
exaltation sign .Ketu, in the fifth (house of children), is considered bad for
children, especially for first born child. But in this case Ketu, in fifth, in
Scorpio, in house of Mars, will only be able to restrict happiness from
children in the initial stages, and can not cause any further damage. This is
because lord of fifth house is exalted in Kendra in seventh, and as a further
protection, lord of seventh(where Mars is), is exalted in Libra in fourth, and
lord of fourth, exalted in Ninth, in Pisces. Ketu, in fifth, will deprive the
native from initial happiness from children. Shri Ram’s children were born in
Valmiki’s Ashram, in forest and far away from him. Secondly Rahu is considered
Karka for rakshas, and Shri Ram managed an everlasting friendship with Rakshas,
after defeat of Ravan. Significantly, Rahu in the eleventh house rules
friendship, and an exalted Rahu provided lasting friendship with Rakshas.

IMPORTANT: Please do not deceive and present false claims about
date of birth of Shri Ram. This is the information age. Further research will
throw more light on astronomical data of Treta Yug. Shri Ram was born at least
5.00 lac years earlier. We will have his exact date of birth in some years to
come.
