Jyotish-EswaraNadi: Eswara Nadi-Surya Khandam -Aries Lagna

Eswara Nadi-1 – Surya Khandam-Aries Lagna

Eswara Nadi was said to be the work of a great Tamil poet called ‘Agasthiyar.’ He has stated that it was said by Lord Parameshwara, or Lord Shiva, to his consort, Goddess Parvati. He has written one Khandam for each planet, making a total of seven Khandams. In each Khandam planet’s position, starting from the placement of Lagna to the 12th house, are given, and the results thereof. This is the first book, and it contains the Sun's position for Aries Lagna. For each position of the Sun starting from Lagna, five verses and their results are given. As the entire work is in Tamil, I have provided the Tamil verses, their translation, and a comprehensive analysis and interpretation based on astrological, Nadi, and various other principles of astrology. A final summary of verses, the planet’s position, and the results is also tabulated for easy reference.

When the Sun is in the Lagna (Aries), it is exalted. As the 5th lord and Pitru Karaka, this position amplifies the karmic imprint of the father in the native’s identity. The father's destiny is closely intertwined with the native’s physical and psychological well-being. This often reflects a prominent father figure, or early challenges affecting the father through the native’s karma. Fame, authority, or loss may manifest depending on aspects.

The Sun, as the 5th lord, is exalted in Aries Lagna, and can have significant implications for the father, given the Sun's karakatwa (significator) for father in Vedic astrology. Here are some general outcomes:

Father's Personality and Status:
Father’s health
Father's Influence on Children
Father’s achievements

Let us investigate the Nadi Observations.

Verse 1

உதயத்தில், பஞ்சமாதிபதி உச்சனாயும், லக்கின, அஷ்டமாதிபதியான அங்காரகன் தசம கேந்திரம் நின்று, பிதுர் ஸ்தானாதிபதி த்விதிய ஸ்தானத்தில் நின்றால், பிதாவின் சகோதரம் பெண் ஒன்று. பிதா வித்தை யில்லாதவனாயும், சுகமில்லாதவனாயுமிருப்பான்.

Planet Position: Fifth lord Sun exalted and placed in the first house (Aries), Lord of Lagna and 8^th house Mars is in the 10^th house, lord of the Pitrusthana, i.e., 9^th house, Jupiter is in the 2^nd house.

Result: The native’s father will have only one sister. His father will be without education, without any skills, and will also be unhealthy. He will be a person with fewer comforts.

Explanation: The verse gives one sister only to the native’s father. Sun, the karaka of the father, since placed in Aries, the 3^rd house, Gemini, and the 11^th house, Aquarius, will indicate siblings. No planets are mentioned in these two houses. And there is no mention of the lords of these two houses, either. Next, the karaka for a sibling is Mars. Mars is exalted in the 10^th house of Karma. Mars thus indicates male siblings. But why does the Nadi give one female sibling? Mars’ exaltation in karma sthana indicates a greater importance placed on karma than on family support. Next, Jupiter aspects this Mars. Jupiter is the lord of the 9^th house of dharma and 12^th house of loss for the father, taken from the position of the Sun, the father. Jupiter is in the enemy’s house—a Venusian, tamasic, pleasure-oriented sign, which does not support Jupiter’s sattvic, knowledge-giving nature. Thus, Jupiter loses some of his power as a benefic guide to family structure and education. Jupiter’s weakened position might explain the father's lack of education and the presence of a single female sibling.

The denial of comforts to the father is also because of Jupiter’s weak position. Malefic Mars aspecting the Sun and the 4^th house from the Sun are the reasons for fewer comforts for the father.

Mars, being the natural malefic aspecting the 4^th house of education, may be the reason the father did not receive an education. We have already seen that Jupiter is also responsible for the father's lack of education. He is the 12^th lord from the karaka Sun and is placed in the 6^th house from the father's 9th house. The placement in the 2^nd house of primary education and fundamental knowledge is thus compromised.

For health issues, we look at the 6^th, 8^th, and 12^th houses. Jupiter is the 12^th lord and aspects the 6^th house from Sun, the father; Mars is the 8^th lord from Sun and aspects Sun, the father. From the 9^th house, Father Jupiter is placed in the 6^th house, and an inimical sign for him. Mars also becomes the 12^th lord from the father's 9th house; hence, there are health problems for the father.
