Ruh word from Islamic concept is not equivalent to Atma in Vedic concept

 Here is my research that Ruh in Urdu is NOT Atma in Vedic.

Please read the following :
Qur’anic Definition of Allah: The Foundation of Tawheed
📖 Surah Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112) — The Essence of Tawheed (Oneness)
قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ
اللَّهُ الصَّمَدُ
لَمْ يَلِدْ وَلَمْ يُولَدْ
وَلَمْ يَكُن لَّهُ كُفُوًا أَحَدٌ
Translation:
Say: He is Allah, the One and Only;
Allah, the Self-Sufficient, Eternal;
He neither begets nor is born;
And there is none comparable to Him.
This Surah defines Allah as:
• One (Ahad) – absolute, indivisible unity
• Self-Sufficient (As-Samad) – not dependent on anything
• Without origin or offspring – uncreated and does not create through lineage
• Incomparable – beyond likeness or form
Surah Al-Baqarah (2:255) – Ayat al-Kursi (Verse of the Throne)
اللَّهُ لَا إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ...
Key attributes of Allah described in above verse :
• One and Only Deity
• Ever-Living (Al-Ḥayy)
• Self-Sustaining (Al-Qayyūm)
• All-Knowing and All-Powerful
🧭 Vedic vs Qur’anic View: Brahman and Allah, Ātman, Nafs, and Rūḥ — A Philosophical Distinction:
In ancient Indian tradition, Brahman — the infinite, formless, eternal Absolute — was the foundational principle of existence. Later, Islamic theology introduced the term "Allah" to represent the singular, supreme deity, which in its transcendent and non-material aspects bears similarities with Vedic Brahman.
👉However, the difference becomes significant when we compare the understanding of the individual being — especially nafs, rūḥ, and ātman.
Nafs and Rūḥ ≈ Jīva and Prāṇa (Roughly, Not Exactly)
• Nafs in Qur’anic view corresponds to the jīva (as in Vedic), the individual personality that is subject to judgment.
• Rūḥ corresponds to prāṇa, the vital energy or divine breath that gives life
As per Qur’an 15:29:
“I fashioned him and breathed into him from My rūḥ.”
This can be related to the Indian analogy:
"भगवान ने मिट्टी के पुतले में फूँक मार कर प्राण डाल दिए"
No Equivalent of Vedic Ātman in the Qur’an
The Qur’anic terms "nafs" and "rūḥ" are often misunderstood as being equivalent to the Vedic Ātman, but in essence, they are not the same.
• Ātman in Vedic texts is:
a) Unborn, eternal, indestructible
b) A divine ansh (fragment) of Paramātmā
c) Identical in all beings — pure consciousness beyond name and form
• In contrast:
a) Nafs refers to the individual self, similar to Jiva, with tendencies toward good or evil
b) Rūḥ is the life-giving force, breathed into the human form by Allah — more similar to prāṇa, not ātman.
c) There is no concept of nafs being divine or a portion of Allah
Three Transformations of Nafs (as per Qur’an)
1. Nafs al-Ammārah – the commanding nafs, driven by lower desires
2. Nafs al-Lawwāmah – the self-reproaching nafs, morally aware
3. Nafs al-Mutma’innah – the tranquil nafs, surrendered to Allah’s will
In this worldview, Allah and nafs are distinct — nafs is created by Allah but is not part of Him. It is morally accountable and judged after death.
No Rebirth in Islamic Doctrine
• In Islam, nafs lives one earthly life, after which it awaits resurrection and final judgment
• There is no concept of reincarnation or cyclical rebirth
• Nafs is not eternal — it is created, tested, and rewarded or punished
Core Philosophical Differences:
A) Vedic Philosophy (Sanātana Dharma)
1) Ātman is eternal, divine, and a part of Brahman
2) Jīva undergoes reincarnation due to karma
3) Ultimate goal is mokṣa — merging with Brahman
4) Ātman is identical in all beings
5) Ātman = Brahman (in Advaita)
B) Islamic Philosophy (Qur’anic View)
1) Nafs is created, not divine or eternal
2) Nafs lives one life, then faces judgment
3) Goal is Paradise, by Allah’s mercy
4) Nafs is individual and separate from Allah
5) Allah ≠ nafs, complete distinction

I Hope all will understand that the major difference and note that Ruh and Atma are not same as it is presumed by many hindus.
Thank you

Yad Bhavam Tad Bhavati- -Bridging Upanishadic Wisdom and Astrology

 Yad Bhavam Tad Bhavati: Bridging Upanishadic Wisdom and Astrology

The Sanskrit phrase "Yad Bhavam Tad Bhavati," drawn from the Mundaka Upanishad (3.2.9), carries profound wisdom: "As you think, so you become." This simple yet transformative idea underscores the immense power of thoughts and perceptions in shaping our reality. When this principle is examined through the lens of astrology, a fascinating alignment emerges, illustrating how cosmic influences interact with our mental, emotional, and spiritual evolution. Let us explore the profound interplay of this Upanishadic truth with astrological energies.

Watch your thoughts, for they will become words.
Watch your words, for they will become actions.
Watch your actions, for they will become habits.
Watch your habits, for they will become character.
Watch your character, for it will become your destiny.

The Journey from Thought to Destiny

The transformation from thought to destiny can be understood in stages, each governed by specific planetary energies. These stages reflect how our internal and external realities are shaped step by step:

1. Thoughts Become Words (Mercury)

Mercury, the planet of communication and intellect, governs our thoughts and their expression. It signifies the power of ideas and how they are articulated. Positive, constructive thinking leads to uplifting words, while negative thoughts manifest as harmful speech. Mercury reminds us to refine our thoughts, as they set the foundation for what we express in the world.

2. Words Become Actions (Mars)

Once thoughts take shape as words, Mars, the planet of energy and action, propels them into action. Mars symbolizes our drive, courage, and determination. It teaches us that the energy behind our actions often stems from the quality of our words. Intentions spoken with clarity and purpose lead to deliberate and impactful actions.

3. Actions Become Habits (Moon and Venus)

Repetition of actions over time forms habits, a domain influenced by the Moon and Venus. The Moon, representing emotions and subconscious patterns, shapes the rhythm of our habits, while Venus brings harmony and pleasure into the routines we cultivate. Positive habits aligned with our inner values create emotional stability and joy, while negative ones lead to discord and imbalance.

4. Habits Become Character (Sun and Saturn)

The cumulative effect of habits defines our character, an area ruled by the Sun and Saturn. The Sun represents the core of our identity and our inherent potential. Saturn, the planet of discipline and karma, ensures that our character is forged through consistent effort and responsibility. Together, these planets highlight the importance of perseverance and integrity in shaping who we are.

5. Character Becomes Destiny (Jupiter)

Finally, our character influences our destiny, governed by Jupiter, the planet of wisdom and expansion. Jupiter blesses us with opportunities that resonate with our evolved character. A virtuous character attracts positive circumstances and growth, while unresolved tendencies bring challenges that demand further learning. Jupiter’s expansive energy ensures that our destiny reflects the culmination of our inner journey.

Astrology and the Cycle of Transformation

The sequence Mercury ➔ Mars ➔ Moon/Venus ➔ Sun/Saturn ➔ Jupiter elegantly mirrors the philosophical teaching of "Yad Bhavam Tad Bhavati." Astrology emphasizes that every thought, word, and action carries energy, creating ripples that ultimately shape our life path. By consciously engaging with planetary energies, we can harness their power to align with higher truths.

Practical Applications for Everyday Life

To integrate this wisdom into our daily lives, consider the following practices:

  • Mercury: Cultivate positive thoughts through affirmations and mindfulness. Reflect before speaking to ensure your words align with your higher self.

  • Mars: Channel your energy into purposeful actions. Avoid impulsivity and act with intention.

  • Moon and Venus: Develop habits that nurture emotional well-being and balance. Prioritize self-care and meaningful relationships.

  • Sun and Saturn: Stay disciplined and true to your values. Embrace challenges as opportunities for character development.

  • Jupiter: Seek wisdom through learning and self-reflection. Trust that your efforts will lead to growth and fulfillment.

Conclusion

The ancient wisdom of "Yad Bhavam Tad Bhavati" beautifully complements the astrological framework, offering a roadmap for personal evolution. By understanding the interplay between thoughts, actions, and destiny, and aligning ourselves with planetary energies, we can consciously shape a life of purpose and harmony. Remember, the cosmos is a mirror of our inner world, and as we think, so we truly become.

Rahul Gandhi victory in Karnataka

http://vjgoel.blogspot.com/2022/11/blog-post.html

मैंने last year बोला था कि राहुल की भारत जोड़ो यात्रा "एक ज्योतिषी उपाय" के रूप में काम करेगी। जैसे मैंने कहा था की उन की कुंडली में राज भंग योग की भरमार है लेकिन यहां यात्रा उपाय की तरह काम करके कुछ कद बढ़ायेगी। आज कर्णाटक का रिजल्ट इस बात को इंगित कर रहा है। उपाय से कुंडली की कमजोरी पूरी तरह नष्ट नहीं होती लेकिन कुछ तो राहत देती है।

लिंक दिया है जहा मैंने राहुल जी की कुंडली पर चर्चा की है।

राहुल गाँधी की भारत जोड़ो यात्रा

 Activity ही आप की remedy है :

राहुल गाँधी की भारत जोड़ो यात्रा में इनका नया रूप देख कर मुझे एक महत्वूर्ण योग याद आ गया जो उन की कुंडली में भी है।
आज में आपको यह बताना चाहता हु की कैसे कोई activity राजभंग योग को राज योग में परिवर्तित कर सकती है, जो आप खुद देखेंगे , अनुभव करेंगे।
राहुल गाँधी तुला लग्न में पैदा हुवे गुरु शनि के axis में है।
राज घराने का सुख उन के लग्न त्रिकोण में बैठे ग्रह गुरु राहु सूर्य मंगल में दिया। लेकिन काम त्रिकोने में बैठे ग्रह चंद्र नीच का शनि और केतु ने राजभंग भी दिया। इस तरह के योग बड़ा से बड़ा योग भंग कर देते है। मुझे बहुत कम उम्मीद थी की राहुल गाँधी कुछ बड़ा कर पाएंगे। इन के नेतृत्व में पार्टी में बहुत बड़ी गिरावट आयी। योग का पूर्ण असर सब ने देखा।
अब 2022 की शुरुवात से राहु की महादशा और गुरु की अन्तर्दशा लगी। हालांकि गुरु तुला लग्न में योगकारक ग्रह नहीं होता है लेकिन गुरु अपने मूल स्वाभाव से जातक का भला जरूर करता है। ध्यान रहे गुरु तीसरे और छठे घर का मालिक है जो राजनीती में "शत्रु पर हमला बोलने का प्रयास" को इंगित करता है । देखे कैसे गुरु ने योजना दी।
1) पहले दाढ़ी वाली भेजभूषा जो exactly चंद्र शनि केतु को represent करती है यानि इन तीनो ग्रहो को अपने पक्ष में किया। यह ग्रह जो राजभंग दे रहे थे उन को अब राजयोग दिलवाने के लिए बाधित करना है। भंग करने वालो ग्रहो को अपने पक्ष में किया।
2) रोज़ाना के 25 से ज्यादा किलोमीटर की पैदल यात्रा third house तो पूर्ण activate करती है, जहा चंद्र बैठे है। यात्रा में लोगो से मिलना यानि चंद्र द्वारा सूर्य मंगल को activate करना यानि भाग्य को त्रीव रूप से प्रबल करना है ।
3) यह पूरी ACTIVITY काम त्रिकोण और धर्म त्रिकोण को activate करती है। राहुल गाँधी के जीवन में बहुत बड़ा परिवर्तन देगी , एक मजबूत शक्शियत के रूप में उभरे गे। नई पहचान बनेगी।
कर्म उपाय ही है। activity उपाय ही है। आप सब देख पाएंगे की कैसे यह यात्रा इन के जीवन में एक मील का पत्थर साबित होंगी।
धन्यवाद।

ज्योतिषी।

See the change how planets bring in.

Veejay Goel

I have something to add..
I have read that; considering Saturn house as ascendent... it shows past life deeds \ details.., therefore it manifest in our present as impediment or success.
Therefore :
1) 10H\L from Saturn indicate success in career.
2) 3\6\8\12 indicate failure or impediments.
3) Planets in quadrant and trines support the positive events.
--
What i feel that Houses from Ascendent which involves 3\6\8\12 from Saturn, those activities should be avoided in career term. The planets in this houses will gives insights for failure in career.
If 10L from Ascendent is Not 3\6\8\12 from Saturn, native is destined for huge success.

Thankyou

BIRTH OF GRAHAS IN DIFFERENT NAKSHATRAS

 

BIRTH OF GRAHAS IN DIFFERENT NAKSHATRAS

VAYU PURANA ADHYAYA 53.

The Birth Nakshatra of the Grahas as per Vayu Puran
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1. Vivasvan, the son of Aditi, the first among the planets, ie. the Sun-god, was born under the constellation Visakha in the Caksusa Manvantara.
2. The brilliant Moon-god Visvavasu, the son of Dharma the cool-rayed maker of nights, was born under (the constellation) Krittika.
3. After the Sun, Sukra (Venus), son of Bhrigu, endowed with sixteen (16) rays, who is next to the Sun is the most excellent among constellations and planets. He is born in the constellation Tisya (Pusya).
4. The planet Brihaspati (Jupiter) of twelve (12) fiery flames, who is the son of Angiras and is the preceptor of the universe was born under the constellation Phalguni (Purva Phalguni).
5. It is reported that the nine(9)-rayed, red-bodied planet (Mars), son of Prajapati, is born under the constellation Purvasadha.
6. The seven(7)-rayed planet, Saturn, son of the Sun, is born under the constellation Revati.
7. The planets harassing the Sun and the Moon (Rahu and Ketu) are also born under the constellation Revati.
"These stars and planets beginning with Sukra (Venus) should be comprehended (properly) because they attain evil propensities when the constellation of NATIVITY is AFFLICTED. They are affected by that defect (and are redeemed) due to devotion to the planets." ~ Vayu Puran

The last verse of Vayu Puran is very important one. Read that atleast 5 times to comprehend the birth nakshatra of the grahas.

Importance of Dakshina

 *दक्षिणा का महत्व*

ब्राह्मणों की दक्षिणा हवन की पूर्णाहुति करके एक मुहूर्त ( 24 ) मिनट के अन्दर दे देनी चाहिये , अन्यथा मुहूर्त बीतने पर 100 गुना बढ जाती है , और तीन रात बीतने पर एक हजार , सप्ताह बाद दो हजार ,महीने बाद एक लाख , और संवत्सर बीतने पर तीन करोड गुना यजमान को देनी होती है । यदि नहीं दे तो उसके बाद उस यजमान का कर्म निष्फल हो जाता है , और उसे ब्रह्महत्या लग जाती है , उसके हाथ से किये जाने वाला हव्य - कव्य देवता और पितर कभी प्राप्त नहीं करते हैं । इसलिए ब्राह्मणों की दक्षिणा जितनी जल्दी हो देनी चाहिये ।
👆यह जो कुछ भी कहा है सबका शास्त्रोॆ में प्रमाण है ।👇
मुहूर्ते समतीते तु , भवेच्छतगुणा च सा ।
त्रिरात्रे तद्दशगुणा , सप्ताहे द्विगुणा मता ।।
मासे लक्षगुणा प्रोक्ता ,ब्राह्मणानां च वर्धते ।
संवत्सर व्यतीते तु , त्रिकोटिगुणा भवेत् ।।
कर्म्मं तद्यजमानानां , सर्वञ्च निष्फलं भवेत् ।
सब्रह्मस्वापहारी च , न कर्मार्होशुचिर्नर: ।।
🚩इसलिए चाणक्य ने कहा """नास्ति यज्ञसमो रिपु: """ मतलब यज्ञादि कर्म विधि से सम्पन्न हो तब लाभ अन्यथा सबसे बडे शत्रु की तरह है ।
🚩गीता में स्वयं भगवान ने कहा 👇
विधिहीनमसृष्टान्नं , मन्त्रहीनमदक्षिणम् ।
श्रद्धाविरहितं यज्ञं , तामसं परिचक्षते ।।
🚩बिना सही विधि से बनाया भोजन जैसे परिणाम में नुकसान करता है , वैसे ही ब्राह्मण के बोले गये मन्त्र दक्षिणा न देने पर नुकसान करते हैं ।
🚩शास्त्र कहते हैं लोहे के चने या टुकडे भी व्यक्ति पचा सकता है परन्तु ब्राह्मणों के धन को नहीं पचा सकता है ।किसी भी उपाय से ब्राह्मणों का धन लेने वाला हमेशा दु:ख ही पाता है । इस पर एक कहानी सुनाता हूँ शास्त्रों में वर्णित 👇
🚩 महाभारत का युद्ध चल रहा था , युद्ध के मैदान में सियार , आदि हिंसक जीव योद्धाओं के गरम -२ खून को पी रहे थे , इतने में ही धृष्टद्युम्न ने तलवार से पुत्रशोक से दु:खी निशस्त्र द्रोणाचार्य की गर्दन काट दी । तब द्रोणाचार्य के गरम -२ खून को पीने के लिए सियारिन दौडती है , तो सियार अपनी सियारिन से कहता है 👇
🚩प्रिये """ विप्ररक्तोSयं गलद्दगलद्दहति """
👆यह ब्राह्मण का खून है इसे मत पीना , यह शरीर को गला- गला कर नष्ट कर देगा । तब उस सियारिन ने भी ब्राह्मण द्रोणाचार्य का रक्तपान नहीं किया ।
🚩ऋषि - मुनियों का कर के रुप में खून लेने पर ही रावण के कुल का संहार हो गया ।इसलिए जीवन में कभी भी ब्राह्मणों के द्रव्य का अपहरण किसी भी रुप में नहीं करना चाहिये ।
🚩वित्तशाट्ठ्यं न कुर्वीत, सति द्रव्ये फलप्रदम ।
अनुष्ठान , पाठ - पूजन जब भी करवायें ब्राह्मणों को उचित दक्षिणा देनी चाहिये , और दक्षिणा के अतिरिक्त उनके आने - जाने का किराया आदि -२ पूछकर अलग से देना चाहिये ।
🚩उसके बाद विनम्रता से ब्राह्मणों की वचनों द्वारा भी सन्तुष्टि करते हुए आशीर्वाद देना चाहिये , ऐसा करने पर ब्राह्मण मुँह से नहीं बल्कि हृदय से आशीर्वाद देता है , और तब यजमान का कल्याण होता है ।
🚩यत्र भुंड्क्ते द्विजस्तस्मात् , तत्र भुंड्क्ते हरि: स्वयम् ।।
*_👆 जिस घर में इस तरह श्रद्धा से ब्राह्मण भोजन करवाया जाता है , वहाँ ब्राह्मण के रुप में स्वयं भगवान ही भोजन करते हैं । इत्यलम् - बहुत बडा हो जायेगा । धन्यवाद , पढें और आचरण भी करे ।*
जय श्री कृष्णा जय जगन्नाथ
