Namaskaar CRS ji,
The Kaalachakra is the concept of time. The upward and downward directions are the various Lokas described in the scriptures, there is either a progression upwards or falling downwards due to the karmas performed by a person. The time applies even to the other lokas but they may have other concepts of it.
Remember the story of a king going with his daughter to Brahma loka to ask Brahmaa ji for the best match for his daughter? They had to wait a few moments outside as Brahmaa ji was busy, by that time the Earth time had progressed by many yugas. Eventually he got her married to Lord Balaraama.
The upwards and downward direction is the Shiva linga with the petals of the Kaalachakra as the Yoni.

Rishirahul and vivek.

Namaskaar Vivekji,

Sorry for going back on this topic. I have a few doubts.

Quote:

The Wheel of Time moves and the Axel does not move, the wheel is the territory of the Divine mother, this is her game field and we all are turned, twisted or tossed aside by here divine play.The upward direction of the axel are the Heavens or the upper Lokas ( Bhuvar, Swarga, Mahar, Janah, Tapah and Satya).
the Vertical downward direction of the Axel are the Tala (the nether world) we have to keep clear from this.

While the eight grahas rule elements of time, reference to upward and downward direction appear to be unrelated to time. They are of-course relevant for dik-chakra. Essentially, I could not understand what we mean by upward/downward wrt to time.

Vivekji,

You generally use green coloured fonts at the start of each chapter(for a particular reason). But you made an exception for this lesson and also lesson 17. Any particular reason?

"The kaala chakra is not all auspicious and there are some very negative energies associated with it. As Jyotish we should steer clear from all negative energies located in the Kaalachakra. In fact we are advised to not even name the energy levels (The negative ones) because naming them is invoking them. "

Are you referring to the nether worlds here? Could you elaborate a bit more about staying clear of negative energies?

"One of the primary uses of this is that it shows us as to how to utilize the day. Divide the whole day of 24 hours into 8 parts, starting from 6 o'clock in the morning each 1\8 th part will be ruled as per the kaalachakra. the first 3 hours is ruled by the Surya, next is ruled by Mangal, followed by Guru, Bhudha, Shukra, Shani, Chandra and Raahu respectively. During the day the activity shown by the Graha ruling the Kaala for that part of the day is beneficial and will give good results. Many adepts adapted themselves according to the kaalachakra for their daily routine."

"The whole Day from 6 am to the next morning 6am is divided into eight parts. The first part is ruled by Surya (eastern direction). Hence the activity favored is going to the temple, praying etc. The second part is ruled by mangal (south east), A time for strenuous physical workout, energy level is maximum. Third part is ruled by Guru. Recite lord Vishnu's name/s. eat well. Fourth part is ruled by Budha. This is a time for play as well as for learning. fifth part is ruled by Shukra. A time for pleasures and to spend time with spouse. finish food by this time. Sixth part is ruled by shani. Time for rest and sleep.
good time for Tapasyaa. Seventh is rued by chandra. It is a time to rest the mind, . yogis spend this time meditating for perfect mind control. The last part is ruled by Raahu. this is the time when theives are most active as most people are fast asleep and almost like dead. This is the time of Brahma Muhuratha, A wise person does japa during this time, trying to get out of the clutches of Raahu. Again the day dawns with Sun infusing life ith his golden rays. "

This concept is very similar to that of hora although the order seems fixed here and the activities are physical while in hora its the activities signified by the grahas and the order keeps changing according to the day. Is this a general way to conduct activities during all days? I would like your comments on this.

Nothing particular, just plain laziness perhaps.

Yes, we are referring to the Talaas. It is said that a Soul is sent to the tala to experience the punishment for deeds done against Dharma. naming the talas is invoking the negative energies and akin to inviting.

This is the fixed Kaalachakra motion and in the Satya Sanaatana this was used for allotting activities to each part ruled by the different grahas. This is the the routine followed by the Rishis.
Then there is a daily Kaalachakra starting from the Weekday lord Starting from the Sunrise. Which is why Raahu kaala timings change every weekday. Much like the Horaa.
In the Horaa chakra we are sure of the reason of allotting a particular order to the grahas. Shani, Guru, Mangal, Surya, Shukra, Budha and Chandra. This is the descending order of their average motions. Shani takes the longest to complete a revolution and chandra the shortest. here we can also see the reason for allotting the Raashi Lordships. Plus the wheel is continuous. not so the kaalachakra.

RishiRahul and vivek.
