OM NAMO BHAGVATE VASUDEVYA !

By Amar Puri, Montreal, Canada.

It is said that just after Sunset on the evening of 23rd Phalguna 1407 Sakabada which is equal to the date of the Christian era as 18th February, 1486 and gives a suggested time of birth of 18:05 hrs. in Nadia (88e56 : 23n24), near Mayapur, West Bengal, India.


Upon erecting the Vedic Horoscope, we find that the Moon is in Purvaphalguni and eclipsed at that time of the birth of the Lord Shri Caitanya Mahaprabhu.

Here below are the Planetary Info of the Rashi (Lagna) Chart ;

As: 23º Leo 33’

Su: 22º Aqu 12’

Mo: 19º Leo 54’

Ma: 11º Cap 11’

Me: 10º Pis 15’

Ju: 20º Sag 21’

Ve: 04º Ari 59’

Sa: 24º Sco 40’

Ra: 26º Aqu 16’

Ke: 26º Leo 16’

According to the configuration of Planets on 18th Feb., 1486 just after Sun set in Nadia, Bengal, India, the time was, no doubt, very auspicious. The Sun was setting and the Moon was eclipsed. So, it seems a darkness in a material plate form on this planet Earth.

However, on the other hand, by the rising sign of Leo owned by the Sun at the time of appearance of the great personality Shri Caitanya Mahaprabhu in the Holy Daham of Nadia, all kinds of darkness of ignorance was started to disappear as is read further as per the horoscope under discussion.

The powerful benefic aspect of the Ascendant Lord Sun to his own house, Moon and Ketu at most effective point followed by the aspect of 5th Lord Jupiter and 7th Lord Saturn from its respective locations in the natal chart indicate very strongly that the Native is indeed an extra ordinary Spiritual Personality.

As it is further read from the horoscope that the Lords of the Dharma and Moksha are very strong as well. Whereas the Lords of the Artha and Kama are seen weak due to its placement and disposition.

In addition to the above, the support from the other planets in the chart also confirm and contribute further to the strong Spirituality which are as follows ;

a. 2nd Lord Debilitated Mercury in 8th.house of Pisces indicates material detachment but gives profound intelligence for probing and researching into deep occult science.

b. Ketu’s close impact on most effective point of the 5th. house of Jupiter further indicates that the Native is indeed profoundly spiritualized Teacher, Master especially in the Bhakti aspect (Cult).

c. Further Ketu’s impact on the 9h occupying by the 3rd Lord Venus signifies that the native would create the phenomenon of Spiritual entrepreneurship and distribute Love of Godhead freely.

d. Rahu’s conjunction with the Ascendant Lord Sun in 7h becomes the personality of the native. Even though Rahu influences the 3rd h of Kama owned by Venus, the natives’ desire for Kama never erupted because of the strong presence of the influence of the Spiritual Planets.

e. The aspect of 7th Lord Saturn (signifying philosophical and religious
thinking in the Spiritual realm) on the Asdt. and Ketu at mep gives the
native spiritual Virtues of responsibility with meticulous details,
detachment, austerity and so on.

f. The 9th Lord exalted Mars in 6h gives the native lots of energy to face
and overcome many Spiritual controversies and challenges.

g. The 12th Lord Moon (signifying Moksha) occupies in the Asdt. which
contributes further in the Spirituality indicating Fully Liberated
Personality.

A strong impacting planets such as Sun, Moon, Jup, Ketu and Sat. etc. to the mep on their respective houses further indicate that the impact or influence (Bhakti – Cult indicating by the 5 L Jup) of the Native shall remain for a very long period of time.

These are some of my point of views based on the above information which matches the real life story of the Great Personality as revealed in the Vedic scriptures, and I humbly invite further comments from all the Learned Readers.

All Glories to Shri Guru and Guranga.

Hari BOL. OM TAT SAT.

Ys
Aprakrita dasa

Thank you very much for the good words, Aprakrita Prabhu. I have no experties in the Vedic Astrology. But with my limited senses and limited knowledge of the Astrology, I try to see and read from the horoscope who is truly a Spiritual Master. I read the chart of Srila Prabhupada and found that he is truly the Spiritual Master on this Planet Earth. I gave also my view points on Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu showing He is the perfect Spiritual Master of ALL.

My purpose is to share with all the aspirant Devotees of the Lord and help others who are misled by bogus self made Gurus in Iskcon and other Gaudiya Maths. That is why I posted the information of TKG horoscope and BTS birth particulars. Now I am working on Jaya Pataka Horoscope which will be posted in the near future. Thank you very much for reading my comments.

May the blessings of Srila Prabhupada be upon us all.

Hari BOL .... Yours in the service of Srila Prabhupada.... Amar Puri.

Wonderful interpretation of THE LORDS TRANSCENDENTAL TIME OF BIRTH Thank you very mucht for posting this.

You are very welcome. A sincere Devotee like yourself get the most out of life by following a self realized Guru Srila Prabhupada who is coming from the perfect desciplic line of the Lord Shri Guranga.

The purpose of posting the horoscope of such Great personalities like Srila Prabhupada and Shri Chaitanya Mahaprabhu is to educate and enliven sincerely interested devotee like yourself so that people may not be misled by any other so called self made unauthorized Gurus as we have presently in Iskcon and Guadiya Math all over world who are riding on the success of Srila Prabhupada and sincere, innocent aspirant people are following them blindly.

That is why I exposed TKG horoscope and BTS birth particualrs etc. Now I am working on JPS, Jaya pataka Swami horoscope which will be posted in the near future.

More later. Hari BOL ..... Amar Puri.

The evidence of Sruti in connection with Sriman Mahaprabhu
4. 1
mahan-prabhur vai purusam sattvasyesu pravarttakam
surnimalam imam santisano jyotiravyam

The Personality of Godhead [Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu] is brilliantly effulgence [like molten gold], and he is imperishable. He is the Supreme Controller. He controls the mode of goodness and [through the performance of sankirtana] he bestows upon the living beings [the] spiritual intelligence [by which they can understand devotional service]. [In his acarya-lila, as a sannyasi] He is the source of spiritual purity and of liberation. He is therefore known as "Mahaprabhu." (Svetasvatara Upanisad 2.12)

The Sruti establishes that The Supreme Lord will appear in a golden form as Sri Gauranga
4. 2
yada pasyam pasyate rukma-varnam kartaram isam purusam brahma-yonim
tada vidyan punya-pape vidhuya nira-janam pramam samyam upaiti

When one realizes the golden form of that Lord [Sri Gauranga] who is the ultimate actor and the source of the Supreme Brahman, he attains the highest knowledge, transcends both pious and impious activities, becomes free from wordly bondage and gains entrance into the divine abode of the Lord. (Mundaka Upanisad 3.3)

The evidence of Srimad-Bhagavatam
4. 3
krsna-varnam tvisa-'krsnam sangopangastra-parsadam
yajnaim sankirtana-prayair-yajanti hi sumedhasam

In the age of Kali, Krsna appears in a golden form, [as Sri Gauranga] chanting the two syllables krsna. He descends along with his weapons [The holy name of Krsna, Srimad-Bhagavatam, kirtana, and mahaprasada ], His limbs [His expansions and avataras such as Nityananda, Advaita, and His divine energies (saktis) such as Gadadhara, Svarupa Damodara, and Ramananda Raya ], and eternal confidential associates [like Srivasa hakura, Haridasa hakura, and other devotees]. Those who are advanced in transcendental intelligence worship Him by performing sankirtana. (Srimad-Bhagavatam 11.5.32)


4. 4
"krsna" - ei dui varna sada ya-'ra mukhe
athava krsnake ti-ho varne nija sukhe
dehakantye haya ti-ho akrsna-varana
"akrsna" - varane kahe pita-varana

The two syllables "krsna" are always in His mouth, or He always describes Krsna with great pleasure. These are two meanings of the words "krsna-varna." Indeed, nothing but Krsna issues from His mouth. If someone tries to describe Him as being of blackish complexion, the next adjective, "tvisakrsnam" immediately restricts him. His complexion is certainly not blackish. Indeed, His not being blackish indicates that his complexion is golden. (Caitanya Caritamrta-Adi 3.53,56)

4. 5
asan varnastrayo'hyasya grhnato'nuyugam tanum
suklo-raktas-tatha-pita idanim krsnatam gatam

This boy, Krsna, has three other colors: white, red, and yellow, as he appears in different ages. Now, in this Dvapara-yuga, he has appeared in a transcendental blackish color. (Srimad-Bhagavatam 10.8.13)

4. 6
sukla, rakta, krsna, pita - krame cari varna
cari varna dhari' "krsna" karena yugadharma

In the four ages, (yugas) Satya, Treta, Dvapara, and Kali, Krsna accepts four different colors: white, red, black, and yellow respectively. These are the colors of the different incarnations of Krsna in different milleniums. (Caitanya Caritamrta Madhya 20.330)

4. 7
itham nr-tiryag-rsi-deva-jhasavataraair
lokan vibhavayasi hamsi jagat-pratipan
dharmam mahapurusa pasi yuganuvrttam
channam kalau yad-abhavas tri-yugo 'tha sa tvam

[Prahlada said] O Krsna! In this way you appear in various incarnations: as a human being, an animal, a great saint, a demigod, a fish, or a tortoise. Thus maintaining the entire creation in different planetary systems. In this way, according to the age,You protect the principles of religion. But O, Mahaprabhu! In the age of Kali, [when you come to preach the holy name of Krsna, you do so as a devotee and therefore] You do not assert Yourself as the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Because your Godhood is hidden in the age of Kali You therefore known as Triyuga, or the Lord who manifests his Supremacy in only three ages. [And for this reason many sastras have also kept your appearance in Kaliyuga a secret.] (Srimad-Bhagavatam 7.9.38)

The evidence of Mahabharata
4. 8
suvarna-varna hemango varangas-candanangadi
sannyasa-krcchamam santo nistha-santi-parayanam

[The following explanation of this verse is given by Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswat and is based on the commentary by Baladeva Vidyabhusana on the Visnu-sahasra-nama-stotram found in Mahabharata. These remarks are mentioned by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami in his translation of Srila Bhaktisiddhanta Saraswati hakura's anubhasya commentary on Caitanya Caritamrta Adi 3.49 - 52)] When the Supreme Personality of Godhead Krsna appears as Sri Gauranga, in his early pastimes His complexion is gold (suvarna-varna ), his limbs are are the color of molten white gold (hemanga), his body is extremely beautiful (varangas), and he is decorated with sandalwood pulp (candanangadi). [These four are the symptoms of His grhastha-lila.] Another meaning of the description of the Lord as having a golden hue is that Lord Caitanya's personality is as fascinating as gold is attractive.
Sri Caitanya accepts the sannyasa order of life (sannyasa-krt), and shows equanimity (sama) in different ways: by describing the mysteries of devotion to Sri Krsna, and by satisfying everyone by knowledge and attachment to Krsna. (santa). He is peaceful because he renounces all topics not related to the service of Krsna. His mind is always fixed on Krsna, and thus He is fixed (nistha ) in performing the great sacrifice of the holy name of Krsna. He silences the nondevotees and impersonalists who are opposed to the service of the Lord, by promoting the cause of devotion. Thus he distributes real peace. He is therefore an abode of the highest spiritual peace and devotion (mahabhava-parayana).(Mahabharata, Tadanadharma 149)

The evidence of the Puranas
4. 9
aham eva kvacid brahman sannyasnasramamnasritam
hari-bhaktim grahayami kalau papa-hatan-naran

[The Supreme Lord said to Sri Vyasadeva] O learned brahmanas, sometimes I accept the renounced order of life to induce the fallen people of the age of Kali to accept devotional service to the Lord. (Caitanya Caritamrta Adi 3.81)

4. 10
aham eva dvija-srestha nityam pracchana-vigraham
bhagavad-bhakta-rupena lokan raksami sarvada

O best of the brahmanas! My disguised form is eternal. In this way, with my own form hidden from ordinary sight, I take the form of a devotee and appear among the people in general in order to establish and protect religious principles. (Adi Purana )

The version of the Goswamis
4. 11
antam krsnam bahir-gauram darsitangadi-vaibhavam
kalau sankirtanadyaim smam krsna-Caitanyamnasritam

I take shelter of Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu, who is Krsna Himself, thinking of Himself. He is internally Krsna - blackish - but externally, he appears with the golden complexion [of Sri Radha]. In this age of Kali, Krsna appears as Krsna Caitanya, simultaneously manifesting His eternal associates, opulences, expansions, and incarnations. In this way, he preaches the process of Krsna consciousness by performing sankirtana. (Tattva-Sandarbha 2)

Sri Gauranga is the fountainhead of all avataras
4. 12
sutiya acchinu ksira-sagara-bhitare
mora nidra bhanileka nadara hunkare

[While sitting on the altar of Visnu in the house of Srivasa, Sri Caitanya Maharabhu said] Lying within ocean of milk, My transcendental slumber broke, as I awoke to hear the loud cries of my devotees. Thus I [Lord Visnu] have come [as Sri Caitanya]. (Caitanya Bhagavata Madhya 22.16)

4. 13
sei krsna avatari vrajendra-kumara
apane Caitanya-rupe kaila avatara
ata eva Caitanya gosa-i paratattva sima
ta-re ksirodasayi kahi ki ta-ra mahima
sei ta bhaktera vakya nahe vyabhicari
sakala sambhave ta-'te ya-'te avatari
avatarira dehe saba avatarera sthiti
keho kona mata kahe yemama ya'ra mati

That same Lord Sri Krsna who is the fountainhead of all avataras is the son of the king of Vraja. He has descended personally as Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu. Therefore Sri Caitanya Maharabhu is the supreme absolute truth. To call Him Ksirodaksayi Visnu does not add to His glory. But such words from the lips of a sincere devotee cannot be false. All possibilities abide in Him because He is the primeval Lord. All other incarnations are potentially situated in the original body of the primeval Lord. Thus according to one's opinion one may address Him as any one of the avataras. (Caitanya Caritamrta-Adi 2.109-112)

He is transcendental truth: he cannot be attained by wordly knowledge
4. 14
bhagavata-bharata-sastra agama purana
Caitanya krsna-avatara prakata pramana
pratyakse dekhaha nana prakata prabhava
alaukika karma, alaukika anubhava
dekhiya na dekhe yata abhaktera gana
uluke na dekhe yena suryera kirana

Srimad-Bhagavatam, Mahabharata, the Puranas, and other Vedic literatures all give evidence to prove that Sri Caitanya is the avatara or descent of Krsna Himself. One can also directly see Sri Caitanya's manifest influence in His uncommon deeds and uncommon Krsna conscious realization. But faithless unbelievers do not see what is clearly evident, just as owls do not see the rays of the sun. (Caitanya Caritamrta-Adi 3.83 - 85)

Sri Krsna Caitanya Tattva: the Lord's sixfold nature
4. 15
sakala vaisnava suna kari' ekamana
Caitanya-krsnera sastre yemata nirupana
krsna, gurudvaya, bhakta, avatara prakasa
sakti - ei chayarupe karena vilasa

I advise all my Vaisnava readers to read and hear with rapt attention this narration of the pastimes of Sri Krsna Caitanya as inculcated in the revealed scriptures. Lord Krsna enjoys His pastimes by manifesting Himself (krsna) as the spiritual masters (guru), His devotees (bhakta), His diverse energies (sakti), His incarnations (avatara), and His full expansions (prakasa). (Caitanya Caritamrta-Adi 1.31 - 32)

Sri Gauranga is the supreme truth
4. 16
yad advaitam brahmopanisadi tad-apy-asya tanubha
ya atmantaryami purusa iti so'syamsa-vibhavam
sad-aisvaryaim purno ya iha bhagavan sa svayam-ayam
na caitayanyat krsnaj-jagati paratattvam param iha

What the Upanisads describe as the impersonal absolute (brahman) is but the effulgence of His (Sri Caitanya's) body. The Lord who is known as the Supersoul (paramatma) is but his localized expansion. He is the Supreme Personality of Godhead, Krsna Himself, (bhagavan), full in six opulences. He is the Absolute Truth, one without a second. There is no truth superior to Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu. (Caitanya Caritamrta-Adi 1.3)

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the jagad-guru
4. 17
caudda-bhuvanera guru Caitanya gosa-i
ta-'ra guru anya, ei kona sastre nai

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is the jagad-guru, the spiritual master of the fourteen worlds. No other guru can compare with Him. (Caitanya Caritamrta-Adi 12.16)

Sri Gauranga is the best of all
4. 18
saundarye kama-kotim sakala-jana samahladane candrakotir
vatsalye matrkotis tridasavitapinam kotir audarya-sare
gambhirye 'mbodhi-kotir madhurimani sudha-ksira-madvhika-kotir
gaurodevam sa jiyat pranaya-rasapade darsitascarya-kotim

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu is lovelier than millions of cupids, mellower than millions of moons, dearer than millions of mothers, kinder than millions of wish-fulfilling trees, deeper than millions of oceans, and sweeter than millions of nectarine drinks. All glories to Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, the Supreme Lord who displays millions of amazing sentiments of madhurya-bhakti, the most exalted mellow of pure love of Godhead. (Caitanya-Candamrta 101)

Sri Gauranga's principle, name, form, qualities and pastimes:
(tattva, nama, rupa,guna, lila)
4. 19
namo maha-vadanyaya krsna-prema-pradaya te
krsnaya krsna-Caitanya-namne gaura-tvise namam

His nature (tattva) is that He is Krsna Himself. His name (nama) is "Krsna Caitanya." His form (rupa) is golden. His quality (guna) is that He is the most magnanimous of all Personalities of Godhead. His pastime (lila) is to distribute the highest love of Godhead: krsna-prema. I offer my obeisances unto that most generous Lord, Sri Krsna Caitanya Mahaprabhu. (Caitanya Caritamrta-Madhya 19.53)

Sri Gauranga delivers everyone by distributing the holy name of Krsna
4. 20
sankirtana-pravartaka sri krsna Caitanya
sanirtana-yaj-e ta-'re bhaje sei dhanya
sei ta' sumedha ara kubuddhi samsara
sarva-yajna haite krsna-nama sara

Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu inaugurated the sankirtana movement. One who worships Him through sankirtana is fortunate indeed. Such a person is truly intelligent, whereas others, who have but a poor fund of knowledge, must endure the cycle of repeated birth and death. Of all sacrificial performances, the chanting of the Lord's holy name is the most sublime. (Caitanya Caritamrta-Adi 3.76 - 77)

Sri Gauranga is the giver of Krsna-prema
4. 21
uchalila premavanya caudike vedaya
stri-vrddha-balaka-yuva sakali dubaya
sajjana, durjana, pangu, jata andhagana
premavanyaya dubaila jagatera jana

The flood of love of Godhead distributed by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu swelled in all directions and thus, young men, old men, women, and children were all immersed in that inundation. The Krsna consciousness movement begun by Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu will inundate the entire world and drown everyone, whether one be a gentleman or rogue, or even lame, invalid, or blind. (Caitanya Caritamrta-Adi 7.25,26)

4. 22
patrapatra-vicara nahi, nahi sthanasthana
yei ya-ha paya, ta-ha kare prema dana
lutiya khaiya diya bandara prema sataguna vade

In distributing love of Godhead, Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu and his associates did not consider who was fit and who was unfit; nor where such distribution should or should not take place. They may no such conditions. Rather, wherever they got the opportunity, the members of the pa-ca-tattva distributed love of Godhead. Although the members of the pa-ca-tattva plundered the storehouse of love of Godhead and ate and distributed its contents, there was no scarcity, for this wonderful storehouse is so complete that as the love is distributed, the supply increases hundreds of times. (Caitanya Caritamrta-Adi 7.23,24)

Who would cheat themselves out of love of godhead?
4. 23
mayavadi karma-nistha kutarkikagana
nindaka pasandi yata paduya adhama
sei saba mahadaksa dhaina palaila
sei vanya ta' sabare chuite narila

The impersonalists, fruitive workers, false logicians, blasphemers, nondevotees, and lowest among the student community are very expert in avoiding the Krsna consciousness movement. Therefore the mercy of Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, in the form of this Krsna consciousness movement, cannot reach them. (Caitanya Caritamrta-Adi 7.29,30)

By the mercy of Sri Gauranga one can know the proper conclusions of scripture.
4. 24
sri Caitanya prabhum vande balo'pi yad-anugrahat
taren-nanamata-grahavyaptam siddhanta-sagaram

I offer my obeisances unto Sri Caitanya Mahaprabhu, by whose mercy even an ignorant child can swim across the ocean of conclusive truth which is filled with the crocodiles of various theories. (Caitanya Caritamrta-Adi 2.1)
