Planets, Rashis and Swaras

[rearguard]

[quote="http://www.carnatica.net/dimensions/astrology.htm"]

Kanya Rasi (Virgo) symbolizes Suddha Rishabha
Tula (Libra), Chatusruti Rishabha
Vrischika (Scorpio), Sadharana Gandhara
Dhanus (Sagittarius), Antara Gandhara
Mithuna (Gemini), Kakali Nishada
Vrishaba (Taurus), Kaisika Nishada
Mesha (Aries), Chatusruti Daivata
Meena (Pisces), Suddha Daivata
The Saturnine signs of Makara (Capricorn) and Kumbha (Aquarius) stand respectively for Suddha Madhyama and Prati Madhyama, duly accentuating the dual nature of Saturn.


If the faithful and cognoscenti prescribe rendition of the kritis on the planets as a palliative, it evidently, is a substitute for Vedic or mantric recitation. Many have vouched for the efficacy of rendition of the kriti "Divakara Tanujam" in Yadukulakambhoji.

The extent of cognizance of the inter-relation of astrology and music, currently, is limited. It is a matter of gratification that there is some on-going research on this subject, albeit to a limited extent. Perhaps, generations to come will know much more than what has been revealed to us.
