Kalapurusa, Five Tattvas and Immediate Previous Life

Where Were You in Your Past Life?
An astrological study to explain 14 worlds (Lokas and Talas) and their five Tattvas (Elements) in Kalapurusa’s Horoscope, and then their application in the Drekkana (D-3) divisional chart.

In this lifetime, we are on the planet Earth as human beings, but where were we in our past lives? On the Earth, in one of the Lokas, or one of the Talas? Vishnu Purana describes in details the seven Lokas and seven Talas where we may have existed in our past life. How we can determine the world we come from is what I’m going to cover in this space. In this article, I will explain:

First Part:

• Which house in Kalapurusa’s horoscope signify which Loka or Tala
• What is the Tattva of each Loka and Tala
• Which planet signifies which Tattva and Loka

Second Part:

• How to analyze the Drekkana (D-3) chart to determine the world the soul has come from
• How to analyze the soul’s position in the Loka/Tala in the previous life
• Case Studies: Lucia Dos Santos (Fatima Miracle of the Sun), Mahatma Gandhi, Bill Gates,Jayalalitha and K. N. Rao

The most natural question you will have after applying this knowledge to your own chart is “What Did I Do to Deserve This Birth?” The D-60 chart can unearth this mystery for us. I’ll try to help you find the answer to this question through an article on the D-60 chart analysis. So, watch this space!

Lokas and Talas in Kalapurusa’s Horoscope

The division of the kalapurusa into seven Lokas (heavenly planetary systems) and seven Talas (lower hellish planetary regions beneath the earth) is as shown in the graphic below. The left side of the Kalapurusa’s chart shows the seven Talas and the right side, seven Lokas. However, the first and the seventh houses are shared between Talas and Lokas.

This kalapurusa or the universal form of Vishnu can also be divided into five parts, each associated with one of the five Tattvas or states of energy and matter. The more subtle the Tattva, beginning with the Akasa Tattva (ether) the higher its position within the kalapurusa and planetary system. In progressive stages of density, the five Tattvas are associated with the following five portions of the kalapurusa. This table also lists the planets that signify each Tattva.

So now we know which house in a horoscope signifies which Loka and Tala, as well as the relationship between planets and Tattvas. This is the fundamental knowledge we require to determine where the soul has come from.

Determining the Loka/Tala in the Drekkana (D-3) Chart

To determine which of the five Tattvas or the 14 worlds the soul experienced in our immediate past birth, we need to analyze the Tattva of the sign in which the stronger of the Sun or the Moon (see their strength in D-1) is situated in our Jagannath Drekkana chart.

How to determine whether the Sun or the Moon is stronger in the Rasi (Lagna, D-1) chart?

Strengths are based upon the position of the Sun and the Moon:

• If in Kendra or Trikona houses from Lagna. Kendras get more points than Trikonas.

• If exalted, in its own or friendly sign.

• If they are equal in strength, then the natural strength of the sign decides which out of the two is stronger. Dual signs are stronger than fixed signs, while fixed signs are stronger than movable signs.

• If both, the Sun and the Moon are in situated in the same sign/house, see their role in the Charakaraka scheme to determine their strength. For example, AK gets more points then AmK, and so on.

How to determine the Loka/ Tala in the Drekkana (D-3) chart?

• If the D-3 sign occupied by the stronger of the Sun and the Moon are ruled by Jupiter (Akasa Tattva), then the previous birth was among the saints and sages, that is, the highest division of the kalapurusa.

• If the stronger between the Sun and the Moon occupies a D-3 sign ruled by either the Moon and/or Venus (Jala Tattva), then the previous birth was among the demi-god and demi-goddesses, Gandharavas, Kimpurusas, Kinnaras, Apsaras (angels), siddhas and other godly beings.

• If the stronger between the Sun and the Moon occupies a D-3 sign ruled by the Sun or Mars (Agni Tattva), then the birth was on the Earth planet among human beings.

• If the stronger between the Sun and the Moon occupies a D-3 sign ruled by Mercury, then the previous birth was in the hellish regions of Naraka Loka.

How to determine the position of the native in the Loka/Tala they have come from?

The position or status in the previous incarnation is seen by the Rasi chart placement of the planet whose sign the stronger of the Sun or the Moon occupies in D-3. In the Rasi chart, also look for the yogas this planet is involved in. In this context, Raja yogas involving the D-3 sign ruler of the Sun/Moon indicate a royal or some other high status in the previous life, while a weak or poorly ruler indicates a lower position or status.

Case Studies

Now let’s apply these principles to some horoscopes.

Lucia Dos Santos (One of the famous Fatima children)

In Lucia Dos Santos’ chart, the Moon is stronger than the Sun. The Moon occupies the 9th house (a Trikona) in a friendly sign with Jupiter, and the sun is in the 6th house, and therefore, it’ s weaker than the Moon. The Moon occupies Libra Drekkana, which belongs to Venus, and therefore, Jala Tattva. This indicates that the native experienced the realm of the angels or demi-gods and demi-goddesses in the previous life time. Her status in the past life was of a great teacher or spiritual mentor given that the Venus occupies the 4th house with Ketu. Its dispositor and yogakaraka Saturn forms a great yoga with the 9th lord Mercury. The native is famous in this life time as a catholic nun who received a visitation from Mother Mary. According to historical accounts, Mother Mary revealed three secrets to Lucia, one of which predicted the occurrence of a great miracle which later became known as the famous “Fatima Miracle of the Sun.”

Mahatma Gandhi

In Gandhi’s chart, the Moon’s occupancy of the 10th house in his own sign with Rahu is stronger than that of the sun in the 12th house. The Moon in Cancer occupies Pisces Drekkana of Jupiter, and therefore, Akasa Tattva. This indicates that the native descended from one of the seven Lokas and was a saintly person. Jupiter is in the 7th house, hence as per the kalapurusa division, he was at BhurLoka in the past birth. His status in past birth must have been high and similar to that of a teacher, as the 9th lord and the 7th lord along with the 8th lord are in mutual sambandha (relationship). This also forms a great Raja yoga. Since Jupiter is the 6th lord situated in the 7th house, his teachings must have been colored with Dama (control).

Bill Gates

In Bill Gates’ chart, the Moon’s occupancy in the 10th house in a friendly sign (Kendra) makes is stronger than the sun that is in the 5th house (Trikona). The Moon occupies Scorpio Drekkana of Mars, which signifies the Agni Tattva. This indicates that the soul was on the planet Earth in the previous life. His status in the previous birth was of a great ruler/politician because the 6th lord and 9th lord are conjoined, and the 4th lord is participating in the Bhadra Mahapurusa yoga.

Jayalalitha

In Jayalalitha’s chart, the Sun’s occupancy in the 9th house in the Aquarius sign with Mercury renders it stronger than the Moon who is in the 3rd house (Dusthana) with Mars. The Sun occupies Aquarius D-3 of Saturn, which signifies Vayu Tattva. This indicates that the native has ascended from one of the seven Talas that exist beneath the Earth. In D-1, Saturn’s placement in the 2nd house indicates that the Tala was specifically RasTala/NiTala. Since Saturn is the 9th lord in the sign of Cancer in the 2nd house, it can be inferred that she was the controller of wealth in RasaTala.

K.N. Rao

In the chart of K.N. Rao ji, the Moon’s placement in Lagna in the Libra sign with Mars and Venus makes it stronger than the Sun who is in the 12th house (Dusthana). The Moon is situated in the Libra Drekkana of Venus, which signifies Jala Tattva. This indicates that the native’s soul was in the realm of the angels, demi-gods and demi-goddesses in the previous life time. His status in the past life was quite significant as Venus is in its own sign in Malavya yoga and is conjoined with the 10th lord and 7th lord.

Om Tat Sat

Vanchana Chora Bheeti Yoga

Vanchana Chora Bheeti Yoga

Definition: The Lagna is occupied by a malefic with Gulika in a trine; or Gulika is associated with the lords of Kendra and Trikona; or the lord of Lagna is combined with Rahu, Saturn or Ketu.
Results: The native will always entertain feelings of suspicion towards others around him. He is afraid of being cheated, swindled and robbed.
Remarks: Here three sets of combinations can be noted. They are:-
(a)    The ascendant must have an evil planet with Gulika disposed in the 5th or 9th.
(b)   Gulika should be associated with the lords of 1, 4, 7, 10, 5 and 9.
(c)    Lord of Lagna should join Rahu or Saturn or Ketu.
In these cases, the person will not only have fears from cheats, rogues and thieves but he will also have huge material losses. Such people start cheating also after being cheated one another in some form or the other. Many scam doers have such yoga in their chart. 

Here are few examples which will explain the yogas:

Frankel Martin

American stock trader who may prove to have successfully operated one of the greatest financial scams in history, funneling as much as $915 million through a series of foreign banks accounts. Some $335 million remains unaccounted for, with Frankel still a missing man at the end of 1999. Through the ’90s he created a bewildering web of insurance companies, bogus investment funds and phony charitable organizations, including an involvement with the Vatican that he pursued vigorously the summer of 1998.
Born to a middle-class family of lawyers and public servants, Frankel was the son of a social worker dad and a city government clerk mom. The youngest of four kids, he was a bright youngster but thin and awkward, with few friends. He grew to be a slender six-footer, bespectacled and inconspicuous. After graduating from high school the top of his class, he attended college but never completed his degree. Instead, he fell in love with Wall Street, an interest that became all-consuming. He became a master of the stock market, commodities, securities, currencies. He entered a brokerage firm as a day-trader, but soon was dismissed over business conflicts.
By the later ’80s, Frankel set up a money management firm which he operated from his parent’s home. As his funds grew, he moved to a $3 million mansion in Greenwich, Connecticut, with an adjacent property for $2.6 million. He equipped his home with 80 trading terminals, satellite dishes, a fleet of imported cars and a bevy of female retainers. The women with which he surrounded himself were those whom he’d met through personal ads and the internet, women whom he provided with residences and cash. After the breakdown of his empire, the house was found to contain a cache of pornography and evidence of sexual fetishes, including a riding crop, ropes and sado-masochistic literature and videos.
In August 1997, neighbors reported hearing a woman screaming from Frankel’s house. When police investigated, they found that a heavy-set 22-year-old, Frances Burge, had hanged herself. The death was deemed a suicide, one of the many bizarre events which accompanied the Frankel house. Neighbors reported expensive cars and limo’s coming and going at all hours.
Police also found a number of astrological charts which testified to his interest, charts which included such horary questions as “Will I go to prison?”
In 1991, Frankel took on another of several aliases and invested in a troubled insurance company. He founded Thunor Trust, and using former assets, accumulated at least ten other insurance companies through the South and Midwest. He began transacting millions of dollars through various venues, siphoning money from a dozen small companies in five states.
As his expose grew near, Frankel fled. He set fire to the filing cabinets in his mansion – and vanished. On 5/05/1999, an automatic alarm called firefighters to his high security mansion. Along with at least $218 million, there was missing close to $2 billion from the St. Francis of Assisi Foundation which he had founded. During the months prior to his disappearance, he had spent more than $1 million in shopping sprees and trips to Rome, Geneva and London.
One of the greatest con games in history came quietly undone with Frankel’s capture on 9/04/1999 at the Hotel Prem in Hamburg, Germany. “You’ve got me,” he said as he was handcuffed and led away to await extradition to the U.S. On March 9, 2001, this fugitive businessman was extradited to the United States from Germany where he had spent a year and a half in a German jail on charges of using a false passport and smuggling diamonds. On March 12, 2001, Frankel pleaded not guilty in U.S. federal court to fraud and racketeering charges. Facing 24 counts of stealing more than $200 million from 10 small insurance companies, he eventually pleaded guilty. On December 10, 2004 he was sentenced in New Haven, CT to 16 years and eight months for his crimes. Just prior to his sentencing, the US Treasury held a two-day auction of some 822 diamonds seized from Frankel’s cache. The auction raised $9 million to be used as victim restitution.
 
Now while analyzing his chart, Ketu is in Lagna and is conjoined with Gulika, whereas Lagna Lord Mercury is conjoined Saturn. These two combinations fulfill the two conditions of Vanchana Chora Bheeti Yoga.
                                                                          

Landru Henri Desire


French homicide; murdered at least ten women between 1915-1919 after proposing marriage and cheating them of property and money. He shot, stabbed, dismembered, buried or burned his victims.
Landru was the son of a fireman at the ironworks and a mother who worked at home as a dressmaker. He was clever in school, earning praise from his teachers. Catholic, he served as an altar boy and a sub deacon. On 11/15/1890, he served in the army. His vocation was work for an architect.
On 6/04/1891, he fathered a child by Marie Catherine, the daughter of his cousin and two years later, on 10/07/1893, married her. They had three more kids.
Landru was convicted of fraud perpetrated in 1900, 1901 and 1903, and again in 1906, sentenced to two years prison 5/19/1906. His mom died in 1912 and his dad committed suicide 8/27/1912, hanging himself from a tree, disgraced to find that his son had been in prison.
In December 1914, Landru met Mme Jeanne Cuchet, whom he murdered, along with her 17-year-old son Andre in April or May 1915.
On 6/25/1915, he killed Therese Laborde-Line, 47.
On 8/02/1915, his victim was Mme Guillin, 51.
On 12/08/1915, his victim was Mme. Heon, 55 and the same month, Mme. Couillet, whom he had met in May.
On 12/26/1915, his victim was Mme Anna Collumb, 44.
In February 1917 he met Andrée Babelay, 19, the only woman without financial substance, and killed her on 4/12/1917.
He had first written to Mmr. Celestine Buisson, 44, whom he killed on 9/01/1917.
He wrote to Mme. Louise Jaume, 28, in March 1917 and killed her on 11/24/1917.
On 1/13/1919, he killed Mme. Marie Therese Marchadier, a brothel keeper.
 
The modern Bluebeard was arrested on 4/13/1919, Paris, and went to trial 11/07/1921. During the trial his manner was calm, genteel and unctuous. He appeared respectable with a short, neat beard and a dignified demeanor; his repartee was quick. He stated that he had had sexual relations with 283 women. Landru was found guilty of 11 murders, ten women and a youth. He was sent to the guillotine 2/25/1922, Versailles, France.
While analyzing the chart we can find that the native is having Surya in Lagna with Gulika in trine. Also the Lagna lord Mars is conjoined with Rahu and Lagna lord Mars is neecha. This also fulfills the two of the conditions of Vanchana Chora Bheeti Yoga.
 

Michael Milken


Michael Milken is an American stockbroker who made a fortune $550 million in 1987 alone, through insider trading, as a junk-bond king. A biography of his life has been written entitled “Highly Confident: The Crime and punishment Of Michael Milken.” In 1989 he was indicted on 98 counts of racketeering and securities fraud. In April 1990 he pleaded guilty to six felonies, including illegally concealing stock positions, helping clients evade income taxes and a conspiracy, involving secret record-keeping with stock speculator Ivan Boesky.
While analyzing the chart, we find that the native has Saturn in Lagna and is in Marana Karaka Sthana, also the 5th lord/10th lord is conjoined Gulika, forming Vanchana Chora Bheeti Yoga.
