Tantra Jyotish and Yogini Jyotish

Yogini Jyotish and Tantra Jyotish

Jyotish, etymologically is derived from the Sanskrit word ( + ), which literally translates to

divine light and God. The synthesis of both the words gives the meaning, “Jyotish is a divine instrument that acts as the divine light to its practitioner in the pursuit of ultimate god”. Divine light here means wisdom and the knowledge of reality while as Isha means ultimate god. Through the knowledge and wisdom of the ultimate reality i.e the self, the god who is inside every being is realized”. 

Jyotish is thepath which helps the practitioner to unravel the mysteries of outer universe which in turn unravels the mysteries of his/her own inner universe because “  

” that human body and the universe are similar.Tantra is a systematic approach to solve a problem or to run a system. For instance, in “Panchanguli Tantra” the whole universe is saturated to five basic elements i.e earth, water, air, fire and ether. Since

these five basic elements make up the universe, it is therefore considered the five fingers of

“Panchanguli Devi” who then creates and destroys this universe based on these five basic elements.

Therefore, five fingers are the five basic elements of the goddess. With this analogy, the tantra

practitioner uses this wisdom to make predictions of a human being who is a mini universe by looking at

his/her fingers and palms of the hand.

Tantra Jyotish is exactly like what I have elaborated from the example of “Panchanguli tantra”, using

tantra to make predictions about future in palmistry. But Tantra Jyotish is just not limited to palmistry

but also beyond palmistry and birth charts. It is a system that can run sidewise with any Jyotish to make

more acute predictions. In any Jyotish, the center from which every prediction is made; it is made from

human mind. The human mind interprets the position of the planets and then based on the

interpretation makes a prediction. The prediction is a very subjective term as it varies from people to

people and it is not absolute. But if a person through tantra, cleanse his mind and through penance

guide his mind to make predictions then through power of yogabala, the predictions made is absolute

and this is also confirmed by Maharishi Gautama in his work Nyaya sutra.

Tantra Jyotish has been in fact practiced by people from time immemorial. Tantra Jyotish can also be

found in Mahabharata where Shakuni uses the dice made from the bone of his father to predict

outcomes. His predictions based on his dice seldom wronged him. The Tantra Jyotish can also be found

in India, Sri Lanka, the Tibetan Buddhist dominated area of Tibet and Bhutan and Nepal. We have seen

people going to a particular tantric by taking some rice grains. The Tantra Jyotish then uses it to

interpret the messages and makes prediction. The prediction thus made is amazing because no birth

chart, no palmistry and not even the sight of the person despite of it the prediction comes true. Such

enigmatic is the Tantra Jyotish practitioner. The mind is the center of all, one who utilizes the mind to

extreme makes prediction to a correct extreme.

Tantra Jyotish.

The overwhelming criticism of Tantra Jyotish boils down to the reliability of the prediction. There has

been some criticism that Tantra Jyotish predictions coming true are nothing but “Placebo effect”. For

instance, if a Tantra Jyotish makes a prediction of a person that the person will incur an accident and if

the person has utmost faith in him, the person is likely to incur accident because that is what the mind

of the person believes will become a reality and then it becomes reality. But this is wrongly right. For

instance, the avatara of Lord Krishna and Rama were prophesized way before they were born and that

did happen. Even the avatara of Buddha was predicted before hand and so did it happen. The prediction

made by super abilities of the mind never ceases to be false.

The Tantra Jyotish will only be possible through the blessings of the personal deity. Therefore, the

Tantra Jyotish should be initiated into the worship of his/her personal deity or any one mahavidhya out

of the ten mahavidyas. The mahavidya helps the Tantra Jyotish to walk in the path of becoming Shiva

from Shava. The person then controls his own brain and can do wonders with its power.

II. Yogini and Ramal Jyotish.

Yogini and Ramal jyotish are both, the parts of Tantra Jyotish. Ramal means dice and Yogini Jyotish

makes the use of the chart that is shown below. As we have seen in Mahabharata Sakuni throwing dices

and doing some calculation and then making prediction. That was not fictional, it is indeed real and it

has been practiced in the Himalayan region of Himachal Pradesh.

i. The dice figure:

The dice figure that I have presented is called Pasa which is used to make predictions. The dice

has to be thrown in a number of series and its total sum has to be calculated. The dice has the

numbers 2,3,4,5 only. The dice has to be thrown in odd number sequence.

ii. The round chart figure:

This is the chart upon which the dice is thrown. This is a special kind of yantra upon which the

dice has to be thrown by reciting the mantra of the personal diety.

iii. The numbered figure:

Just like in snake and ladder game, the result of the dice thrown is calculated in clockwise

direction, similarly is with this chart. But the only difference is that the chart can be calculated

both clockwise and anticlockwise. Depending upon what one wants to achieve the calculation is

done similarly.

Now, let me show you how the calculation is done:

1. Step 1

Throw the dice:

Throw the dice in odd number sequence. Let’s assume you threw the dice three times and the results

are 3,3,5. Now the results have to be added (3+3+5 = 11)

2. Step 2

Now the boxes have to be calculated and counted. One should always start from the bottom right

corner either clockwise or anticlockwise. Now 11 boxes have to be counted in the red box and the

number looks to be like 49. Now the no 49 is calculated and a deity of number 49 is calculated.

3. Step 3

The deity of number 49 is calculated. There is a chart for the name of the deity but I have not presented

it here because it is a long process which is not easy to explain in the post.

4. Step 4

When the particular deity is found, the deity is then worshipped to predict and the solutions can be

made from the same deity by performing some simple tantric worship.

So, this is how Tantra Jyotish is performed. It not only takes the help of nine planets but the help of

various tantric deities to solve the day to day problem. The dice or pasa can also be used for making

quick decision. Suppose, If you have to make a choice in any situation then first you should chant your

personal deity mantra and then throw the dice. If the outcomes is in odd, it is favourable if in even it is a

complete NO.

This Tantra Jyotish is in the brink of extinction and I hope it shall be revived in the days to come. I had

this great fortune to learn this Jyotish personally with Kaulantak Peethadheswara Mahayogi Satyendra

Nath ji Maharaj in one of his camps and I have been using it regularly not for profession but for own

personal utility.
