We wrote about the Cosmic Clock,
Time taken by VEP to transit,
The 360 Degree Cosmic Clock,
Which is 25920 years !
On the Human Clock,
Sun takes 365.25 days,
To make a circuit Of the Zodiac,
Dwadasa Masa Vatsara Smritha !
To make a 180 transit, Sol takes 180 days,
Shan Masa Ayanam Bhavati,
Generating 2 Solstices,
Uthara and Dakshina, Northern & Southern !
To make a 60 degree Transit,
Sixty days it takes for him,
As per Thou Dou Rithu,
Two months make one Rithu !
It takes 90 days for him,
To make a Season Western,
In other 30 degree Transit is One Month,
Let use see if there micro or smaller transits ?
In his journey of the Great Ecliptic,
Moon causeth 27 Lunar Mansions,
Or Nakshatras, which are considered,
Very important in Astronomy.
In his journey of the Great Zodiac,
Sun causeth 27 Solar Micro Seasons ,
Or Njattuvelas, which are considered,
Very important in Astronomy.
A micro 13 deg 20 minutes,
Is called Njattu Vela,
It lasts for 13 days,
Holding Key to Kerala Weather !
The Njattuvelas have been differentiated,
Into Rainy and Non Rainy Njattuvelas,
Even though Non Rainy is out of Reality,
As rains grace Kerala in all months !
Four of them are vicious,
Mrigasira, Ardra, Pushya, Punarvasu,
They devastate the land,
But liberate land from the scorching heat !
( Earth burst in flower to meet Sol,
“Liberate me from this blistering heat,
Sunk as I am in the serpent pit of heat,
Free me by raining Ambrosia !”)
They are the main players of Kala Varsha,
The South West Monsoon,
As Chitra, Swati & Vishakha Njattuvelas,
Dominate Thula Varsha !
This is the First Science, from which,
All sciences began. Holiest, noblest,
And greatest of sciences. Original Science,
Which contains Science’s primitive mysteries !
That it is presented as Grand Poetry,
Enhances the values of the Seer Poets,
For, Poetry is the Center and Circumference,
Of all Knowledge, both worldly and divine !
There are so many Apta Vakyas about both Monsoons,
Which incidentally is derived from the Sanskrit Masa,
Edava Pathi kazhinjal eda vazheelum veellam,
After crossing 45 degrees, rains will accelerate !
Kumbhathil Mazha peythal Kuppyilum Manikyam,
As Kumbha or Aquarius is considered very hot,
Mazhayumilla Vilayumilla,
NO rains, no harvest !
Thiruvathirayil Nooru Mazhazyum Nooru Velyilum
That vicious rains and sunny interludes grace Thiruvathira!
Thiruvathira Njattil Amrutha Mazha,
Meenathil Mazha Peythal Meeninum irayilla !
