Sasa Maha Yoga – A Paradox !

Angular Saturn ( in 1,4,7,10), exalted, gives rise to Sasa Maha Yoga.

eg Goether, Augustus Caesar, Amma, King George VI, Karl Marx, Sri Ramakrisna Paramahamsa

According the classical texts,the native becomes a minister, or a general haunting the wood s and the mountains; others may consider him to be villainous; is tough hearted, having good longevity, may enjoy the pleasures of the mundane , of the flesh, but will be famous !

Sastha Sarva Janissu Bhrithya Balavan Gramadhipo va Nripo

Dur Vritta Sasa Yoga yonya Vanitha VIthanvita Soukhyavan

A man who indulges in the 3 Ws ( Wealth, Wine & Women ), will he not become notorious ?
How come the Sasan is famous ?

He courts guilty love, wants licentious sex and has a marriage with Alchohol !

Drove barren Reason from the bed

And took the daughter of the Wine to spouse

says Omar Khayam

O for a Flask of Wine, a book of Verse,

And Thou singing with me in the Wilderness ?

Did not Dante et al have their paramours. Dante’s lover was Beatrice !

So the Sasan indulges in the pleasures of the mundane. All material comforts are given to him by Fate. He becomes fed up with Eros and mundane pleasures and turns to Spirituality.

Fate satiates his desires. The Houses are made Karmaless, that his state becomes that of Kaivalya, the Ultimate Liberated Stage, of which Patanjali’s Yoga Sutras speak so much !

Example _ King Porooravas, who fell in love with Urvashi. Urvashi told him the pleasures of the mundane are only temporary and it is Supra mundane Bliss which is to be achieved.

Then one day his Conscience became dominant and he attained to Thy Bhakti Yoga !

Therefore make me Thy true devotee !

Thval Bhaktim Prapya Poorna Sukha thara machara

Thvadhva Dhuddhooya Sangam

Bhaktotam sam kriya mam Pavana Pura Pathe,

Pahim Maam Sarva Rogal !
