The Mars Ghandanta: Wisdom From The Ancient Rishis! – By Dr. Schavi M. Ali

Although most people seem to be familiar with the Western/Tropical system of “Cosmic Science” which is known as “Astrology”, and which translated from the Greek language is “Study of the Stars”, the oldest system is the Vedic/Sidereal system which is known as “Jyotish” which translates as “Godly LIGHT”.

Both systems do work, but the Sidereal one takes into account many more of the cosmic events and their messages, and thus, is deemed by many to be the most accurate relative to the COSMIC HOLY BOOK.

Both systems require many years of study in order to understand and to teach its wisdom to others.

Neither one can be completely understood with just a class or two or a book or two.

However, certain aspects can be received and understood by a novice without him or her having to delve into multi-year studies.

This will be the case for many who read this article.

The ancient “Rishis” (“Sages”) were highly spiritually oriented and anchored to SOURCE FREQUENCY to such a great degree that they experienced “Sruti” which translates as “To Hear”.

In other words, they literally “heard” the voice of the HIGHER SELF, THE SOUL, THE DIVINE ABSOLUTE—sacred principles, mantras, the messages in the cosmic realm, the yugas (“ages” of time), encodings of the Sanskrit language (not the commonly spoken “Hindi” today which is a combination of ancient Sanskrit and various Westernized language phonemes).

The term “Sanskrit” translates as “Without Blemish” and as “Not Written” (which relates to the fact that it was originally only “heard” from the ethereal realms and later given specific written glyphs).

With this brevity of introduction, let us deal with a most important time frame this month of January of the year 2022.

The planet Mars symbolizes intense aggression, often warfare, targeted energy, issues of anger, and generally fired-up emotions and conditions.

The word “Ghandanta” translates as “drowning” (literally and figuratively) and also as “knot” or being tied-up so tightly that it is difficult to be free of an entanglement.

When any planet (and in this case we are concerned with Mars) is moving from the last degrees of a water sign and into the first degrees of a fire sign, this is called the planet being “Ghandanta”.

Mars will be “Ghandanta” from Wednesday, January 12th to Tuesday, January 18th when it will move from Scorpio (water) into Sagittarius (fire).

Remember, we are dealing here with the Sidereal science, not the Tropical science.

In the Tropical system, Mars will be moving from Sagittarius to Capricorn.

The Mars “Ghandanta” will also include the beginning of the Mercury Retrograde on January 14th and the Full Moon on January 17th.

These cosmic events will add to the energy of the Mars “Ghandanta”.

There are usually extremes in weather during a “Ghandanta”—mostly dealing with issues around the element of “water” (floods, rainstorms, snowstorms, floods, etc. and temperature extremes).

With Mars being a “fire” planet, there is also major social upheaval; people express tremendous anger; nations contend with other nations; leaders are arrogant and caustic (and so are many people of the general population); emotions are at a more heightened level during a Mars “Ghandanta”, and with the coming Full Moon, there can be an overload of emotive responses.

“CAUTION” is the key word for the next several days and throughout the entire month of January.

Also, because as is the case with all major cosmic events (which have portals), the vibrational frequencies set-off by this “Ghandanta” will play-out for several weeks more—and according to human collective consciousness—possibly there will be a playing-out into the spring season in the Northern Hemisphere and autumn season in the Southern Hemisphere.

Stronger attempts at control of the populations in various nations via certain mandates and the refusal of those populations to be controlled will occur.

Nervous systems will be on high alert as news will be filled with drama.

It is best, therefore, to be situated in the “eye of the storm” where it is calm, rather than being embroiled in the storm itself which may involve individual family issues, but which will certainly involve community issues, national issues, and world issues.

Dramatic events will unfold in most places.

Secrets will be unveiled.

There will be a sense of emergency or scattered thoughts and actions.

What are some specific ways in which to remain calm during this particular time frame other than those suggestions which have already been made regarding “grounding” and being relaxed that have been discussed in previous discourses?

Here are a few more ancient techniques:

Consider the following from ancient spiritual texts for comfort during the days and weeks ahead.
