(1) Moon is the lamp of pradosha (sunset-night). (2) Sun is the lamp of prabhata (sunrise-morning). (3) truth-righteousness-religion is the lamp of all the three worlds and (4) the son is the lmp of the kula (family/lineage). You are a lamp of this kula, this jyotisha lineage.

For those who have never made a lamp with oil and need more explanation of how to put oil on the wick and oil in the lamp:

Sṛṣṭi: Creation

2023 Jan 22 & 29:

Students read and listen to the Sṛṣṭi Chapter lessons.

Maitreya asks to learn the fundamentals of reality (how we came to be) and how the celestial bodies influence the realm of living beings. We study the fundamental principles of creation made of guṇas and tattvas to understand what we are and how we interact with divinity. It is therefore important to getting deeper insight into the essence referenced in the ancient terminology.

“Most scholars misinterpret the word ‘Deva’ as meaning ‘God’. In reality, there are 33 Deva’s with about 330 million forms. The word is derived from the root Divu that has ten meanings. 1) Krida – sporting, 2) Vijigisha – conquest, 3) Vyavahar – occupation/pursuit, 4) Dyuti – intellectual inspiration or brilliancy, 5) Stuti – praise, 6) Moda – pleasure, 7) Mada – exhilaration, intoxication, 8) Swapna – dream, 9) Kanti – splendor, 10) Gati – direction, movement. These words define the purpose of a Deva. Thus Deva or Devata is the Guru and guides or illuminates certain inherent abilities that will develop in this life or the spiritual path or that which leads to fulfillment of desires etc. Nirukta defines Deva as that which (a) confers benefits (Danada) (b) illumines (Deepanad) or (c) is the source of such knowledge or illumination (Dyutanad). Thus, translating deva as God is conceptually incorrect. The natural question is- if Deva’s are not Gods, then who or what are the Deva’s and in what manner are they linked to Jyotish? ”

Sharma:Non-Luminous Upagrahas: (Sub planets) From the addition of 4 signs 13 degrees and 20 kalas (minutes) to the Sun’s longitude at the moment of birth is obtained the all inauspicious Dhooma. When Dhooma is reduced from 12 signs we arrive at Vyatipata which is also inauspicious. By adding 6 signs to Vyatipata is known the exact position of Parivesha which is extremely inauspicious. And the deduction of Parivesha from 12 signs gives the exact position of Indra chapa. When 16 degrees 40 minutes are added to Indra chapa we arrive at the position of Ketu. And when 1 sign is added to Ketu we arrive at the longitude of the Sun at the time of birth. All these planets are known as planets devoid of splendour, they are malefics and cause affliction.

सूर्येन्दुलग्नगेष्वेषु वंशायुर्ज्ञाननाशनम् ।

sūryendulagnageṣveṣu vaṁśāyurjñānanāśanam .

iti dhūmādidoṣāṇāṁ sthitiḥ padmāsanoditā .. 65..

Sharma:Effects of Luminous Upgrahas: If these 5 non-luminous Upgrahas, Dhooma and others combine with the Sun and the Moon or are situated in the Ascendant they destroy respectively the natives dynasty, longevity and wisdom. It is in this way that Lord Brahma, the Lotus born, has stated their position.

रविवारादिशन्यन्तं गुलिकादि निरुप्यते ।

दिवसानष्टधा भक्त्वा वारेशाद् गणेयत् क्रमात् ॥ ६६ ॥

ravivārādiśanyantaṁ gulikādi nirūpyate |
divasānaṣṭadhā bhaktvā vāreśād gaṇeyat kramāt || 3.66||

From the Sun etc up to Saturn is determined the periods of Gulika and others.
The eightfold parts of the day are apportioned in order counted from the day lord.

अष्टमोंऽशो निरीश: स्याच्छन्यंशो गुलिकः स्मृतः ।

रात्रिमप्यष्टधा कृत्वा वारेशात् पञ्चमादितः ॥ ६७ ॥

aṣṭmoṁ’śo nirīśaḥ syācchanyaṁśo gulikaḥsmṛtaḥ |
rātrimapyaṣṭadhā kṛtvā vāreśāt pañcamāditaḥ || 3.67||

The eighth portion is lordless. Saturn’s portion is called as Gulika.
The eightfold parts of the night are calculated beginning from the fifth from day lord.

गणवेदष्टमः खण्डो निष्यतिः परिकीर्तितः ।

शन्यशो गुलिकः प्रोक्तो रव्यंशः कालसंज्ञकः ॥ ६८ ॥

gaṇayedaṣṭamaḥ khaṇḍo niṣyatiḥ parikīrtitaḥ |
śanyaṁśo gulikaḥ prokto ravyaṁśaḥ kālasañjñakaḥ || 3.68||

The eighth division calculated here is also said to have no lord,
Saturn’s portion is called Gulika, the Sun’s portion is known as Kālavela.

भौमाशो मृत्युरादिष्टो गुवंशो यमघण्टकः ।

सोम्यांशोऽर्धप्रहरक: स्वस्वदेशोद्भवः स्फुटः ॥ ६९ ॥

bhaumāṁśo mṛtyurādiṣṭo gurvaṁśo yamaghaṇṭkaḥ |
somyāṁśo’rdhapraharakaḥ svasvadeśodbhavaḥ sphuṭaḥ || 3.69||

Mar’s portion is Mṛtyu, Jupiter’s portion is Yamaghaṇṭaka,
Mercury’s portion is Ardhaprahara. Their degree is calculated from one’s own location (local mean time).

Sharma Translation [66-69]:Calculation of Gulika etc.: From the Sun etc. up to Saturn is determined the periods of Gulika and others. Day duration divided by 8 gives the seven planets commencing from the Varesh (the day on which Gulika and others are to be considered) onwards. The 8th portion is lordless. The portion ruled over by Saturn is termed (called) as Gulika. Similarly, the night duration, when divided by 8 gives the portions of the seven planets commencing with the 5th House from the Varesh (the week day on which gulika etc. are to be considered). Here also the 8th portion is Lordless. and Saturn’s portion is Gulika, Sun’s Kalvela, Mars Mrityu, Jupiter’s Yamaghantaka and Mercury’s Ardhaprahara.

गुलिकेष्टवशाल्लग्नं स्फुटं यत् स्वस्वदेशजम् ।

गुलिकं प्रोच्यते तस्माज्जातकस्य फलं वदेत् ॥ ७० ॥

gulikeṣṭavaśāllagnaṁ sphuṭaṁ yat svasvadeśajam .

gulikaṁ procyate tasmājjātakasya phalaṁ vadet .. 70..

Sharma: Gulika’s position : The degree ascending at the time of Gulika’s portion will be the longitude of Gulika at a given place. From this longitude of Gulika are to be estimated the effects of a particular nativity.

Dṛṣṭi: Aspect

The planets and signs have a sight or ability to influence/decipher the readings of other bodies (signs/ stars or planets) stationed at certain positions from them. The rules for Graha dṛṣṭi (planetary sight) and Rāśi dṛṣṭi (Sign sight) are as follows: –

Graha dṛṣṭi (planetary sight) is an expression of desire which is relatively more temporary as compared to Rāśi Dṛṣṭi (Sign sight) is an expression of knowledge.
All planets excepting Ketu the headless one, have sight.
All planets aspect the seventh sign from where they are stationed.
The outer planets Mars, Jupiter and Saturn have special aspects on signs other than the seventh sign. So also, Rāhu has special aspects. Just like an eagle can see everything from a position above, so also the outer planets are at a relative height above the earth (as reckoned from the Sun) and hence acquire this ability of special aspect.
None of the planets can aspect the 2^nd or 12^th house from their station, except Rāhu who can see the second house from its station (counted zodiacally or 12^th house counted in reverse. They are one and the same.)
None of the planets can aspect the 6^th & 11^th houses, as these are places of Danda (punishment) and Hara (removal from this planet)[ref] tanou tana daṇḍa hara (Jaimini sūtra); tanou is 6th house and tanou-tana is 6th from 6th house or 11th house.[/ref] . Planets/ bodies cannot desire punishment and removal from this material universe. The only one who creates this desire of removal from the material world is Ketu and hence it is the Mokṣa Kāraka (giver of emancipation).
Thus, removing the 2^nd & 12^th, the 6^th & 11^th and 1^st & 7^th signs which have already been explained above, the outer planets have special aspects on the remaining signs (3^rd, 4^th, 5^th, 8^th, 9^th & 10^th)
1. Mars aspects the chaturaśra (4^th & 8^th signs).
2. Jupiter and Rāhu aspect the prārabdha/ pūrva puṇya (good or evil done in the past birth as indicated by the 5^th and 9^th houses). While Jupiter indicates the puṇya (net good karma from past life), Rāhu indicates the pāpa (net bad karma from past life).
3. Saturn aspects the upachaya[ref] Although there are four Upachaya houses 3rd, 6th, 10th & 11th, the 6th & 11th have been excluded as explained.[/ref] (houses of growth 3^rd & 10^th) and indicates the resources that would be depleted in fulfilling personal desires or weaknesses (called ṣaḍripu[ref] Ṣaḍripu: The six weaknesses which are different from the pañca makara (five “M’s”)[/ref] .
Rāśi dṛṣṭi is a permanent feature of the signs and they are like buildings in the skies, facing each other.
1. The movable signs aspect all fixed signs except the one juxtapose.
2. The fixed signs aspect all movable signs except the one juxtapose.
3. The dual signs aspect each other.
Every sign that is aspected by another also aspects it. Thus if Taurus aspects Libra, then Libra also aspects Taurus.
Planets placed in signs also aspect other planets and signs on the basis of Rāśi dṛṣṭi. However, this shows having knowledge of each other and/or involvement in similar activities.
