Brihat Parashara Hora Shastra (BPHS) - Chapter 1: The Creation (Srishti Krama Kathana)
This chapter explains the spiritual origins of the universe, showing how the Supreme Lord created the planets and human souls before teaching the actual rules of astrology.
- Devotion is central to receiving and preserving this sacred knowledge.
himanshu@aheadterra.com commentary:
This chapter say that Here is exactly what each of the 3 words of first chapter name represents:
1. Srishti (The "What") = The Creation
- In the example: This is the House itself. It is the final thing that is being created.
- In the chapter: This is the Universe.
2. Krama (The "How") = The Sequence / Order
- In the example: This is the strict order we must follow to build the house. We have to lay the foundation first, then build the walls, and put the roof on last. We cannot build the roof before the foundation.
- In the chapter: This is the strict order in which the universe was built (Space first, then Air, then Fire, etc.).
3. Kathana (The "Action") = The Story / Telling
- In the example: This is us sitting together while I tell us how I built the house.
- In the chapter: This is the author or the sage telling the reader the history.
When we put the 3 words together, it means: Telling (Kathana) the Order (Krama) of how the Universe (Srishti) was built.
How This Applies to Your Life & Our Readings
When we sit down together for a reading, I apply this exact ancient formula to your current life:
Because God resides within us, we have the divine power to shape our own destiny. However, we must still follow the universe's step-by-step timing (Krama). If we try to rush the planets or skip essential steps, we face obstacles along the way.
By reading your chart and cards, I look at your soul's blueprint to tell you the story of your path (Kathana). This helps you steer your energy in the exact right direction to reach your ultimate goals.
Ultimately, through right intention, right timing, and right action, we use this guidance to build your beautiful life step-by-step. Just like finally completing your dream house, we are creating your own Srishti.
