JSP India

Death is but another event in the constant existence of the spiritual being. It marks the end of the yoga of life1 and the separation of the soul and consciousness (Atma & Mana) from the body. The physical body is composed of solid (Pṛthvi– Mercury), liquid (Jala – Venus) and gaseous (Vāyu – Saturn) parts, which are ‘alive’ and moving due to energy (Agni – Mars). These tattva are kept in balance and work in perfect harmony due to the intelligence (Ākāśa – Jupiter). Thus, energy symbolized by Mars is the visible sign of life.

Compartments are necessary to aid the systematic estimation of longevity by any rational Jyotiṣa.

There are two approaches to longevity estimation called yoga āyus and daśā āyus respectively. Yoga āyus is based on the planetary combinations and positions in signs and houses whereas daśā āyus is based on the daśās contributing periods for the fructification of karma phala.

All beings incarnate to experience the results of their actions (karma) done in the past incarnation(s). Based on the portion of the saṅcita karma (net balance of karma), the spiritual being (atma) has to incarnate in a physical body to experience the same. The events in life of a particular incarnation, their timing and nature, are predetermined as a learning experience for the Atma.
