Dear friends, The following is description of Tarakamaya war in Satya Yuga.The information are collected and chronically compiled by Google search in AI mode.Hope this compilation will be interesting. First part has already posted. Thisis the third and final partof the posting. Gopalakrishnan Dated 31-1-2026 In which yagya tarakawas abducted? Tara was abducted during the Rajasuya Yagna performed byChandra (the Moon god). According to the Harivamsa Purana and the Vishnu Purana,Chandra became extremely arrogant after successfully completing this grandsacrifice, which was intended to establish his sovereignty over the threeworlds. It was in this state ofheightened pride and intoxication that he abducted Tara, the wife of his guruBrihaspati, sparking the Tarakamaya War. Would you like to knowabout the curse Chandra received for this act of Guru-patni-gamana (violatingthe teacher's wife)? Chandra(the Moon) received multiple severe punishments for his abduction of Tara, as his actions were considered oneof the "Great Sins" (Mahapataka) in Vedic tradition. 1. The Curse of Consumption (Kshaya) The most famous curse came from Daksha Prajapati (his father-in-law).While the abduction of Tara showed Chandra's lack of moral restraint, his favouritismtoward one wife (Rohini) over Daksha's other 26 daughters led to a curse ofpermanent decay or consumption. The Result: This is the mythological explanation for the waning of the moon.Chandra began to wither away until he prayed to Lord Shiva, who moderated thecurse so that he would waxand wane periodically rather than disappearing forever. 2. The Social Stigma and "Mark" on the Moon Because he had "stained" the reputation of hisGuru, Chandra was cursed to carry a permanent stainor mark on his face. The Symbolism: The "man on the moon" or the darkspots seen from Earth are often described in the Puranas as a mark of his shamefor his illicit act with Tara. 3. The Curse of the FourthDay (Ganesh Chaturthi) In a later legend often linked to his arrogance during theTara episode, Chandra laughed at Lord Ganesha. Ganesha cursed him, stating that anyone who looks atthe moon on the night ofBhadrapada Chaturthi will face false accusations and socialdisgrace. The Link: This mirrors exactly what happened to Chandra; hesought pleasure but ended up with a ruined reputation and a cosmic war. 4. Loss of Divine Status During theTarakamaya War, Chandra was temporarily stripped of his "Soma"(nectar) powers. Hisbrilliance was dimmed by the weapons of Lord Shiva, and he only regained hisfull status after performing intense penance at the Prabhas Patan (where theSomnath Temple stands today). Lord Vishnu played a central role in transforming Budhafrom a child of scandal into the divine deity of intelligence and a member ofthe Navagraha. 1. Acceptance andPatronage When the controversy over Budha’s birth reached the Trimurti,Lord Vishnu supported Budha and helped settle the dispute between Brihaspatiand Chandra. Because ofBudha's remarkable beauty and intellectual brilliance, Vishnu was immenselypleased with him. He accepted Budha as a "partialincarnation" or a "Vishnu Rupi" (one who resembles Vishnu). 2. Guidance throughPenance Feeling deep shame over the "sin" of his birth,Budha went to Saravanavana in the Himalayas to perform intense penance (tapas). The Boon: Lord Vishnu appeared before him, impressed by hisdedication. He blessedBudha with mastery over the Vedas and all 64 arts. Intellectual Divinity: This divine blessing is why Budha isconsidered the presiding deity of intelligence, logic, and communication inVedic astrology. 3. Granting Graha (Planet)Status Vishnu’s grace paved the way for Budha to be elevated to thestatus of a planet. The Final Step: Following Vishnu's blessings andfurther penance to Lord Shiva (often at Thiruvengadu), Budha was officiallygranted Graha status. Overlordship: To this day, Lord Vishnu remainsthe presiding deity (Adhidevata) of Mercury. Devotees often worship Vishnu onWednesdays (Budhvar) to strengthen the positive influence of Mercury in theirhoroscopes. Note on "The TwoBuddhas": It is important to distinguish between Budha (the planetMercury) and Gautama Buddha (the 9th avatar of Vishnu). While many Puranas linkthem through the name "Buddha" (The Awakened One), they are separatefigures in Hindu cosmology—one is a planetary deity from the ancient lunardynasty, and the other is an avatar born later in Kali Yuga. These articles discuss Budha's birth controversy, LordVishnu's patronage, and his rise to planetary status: Tara Balam Chandrabalam thathaiva-relation with Tara? Actually, no. Despite the shared name, the"Tara" in the famous mantra "Thara balam Chandra balamthathaiva..." refersto a mathematical calculation of stars/constellations, not the goddess Tara(Jupiter’s wife). Here is the breakdown of what that mantra actually means inVedic Electional Astrology (Muhurta): 1. Tara Balam(Strength of the Star) In this context, Tararefers to your Nakshatra (birth star). "Tara Balam" is the strengthderived from the relationship between your birth star and the star of the day. It is calculated bycounting from your birth Nakshatra to the day's Nakshatra and dividing by 9. The result determines if the day is auspicious (e.g., SampatTara for wealth) or dangerous (e.g., Visha Tara for poison/danger) as explainedby Prokerala. 2. Chandra Balam (Strengthof the Moon) This refers to the strength of the Moon's position relativeto your Rashi (moon sign) on a specific day. The Moon provides the mental strength and emotional stabilityneeded to complete a task. The mantra essentiallysays: "When the strength of the Stars and the strength of the Moon arealigned..." 3. The CompleteMeaning The full verse usually ends with "Vidya balam Daiva balam thathaiva, Lakshmi patehangriyugam smarami," which means: "The strength of the stars, the moon, knowledge, anddivine fate are all present when I meditate upon the feet of Lord Vishnu(Lakshmipati)." The Only MythologicalLink While the mantra is about technical astrology, there is apoetic irony: Chandra (the Moon) and Tara (the Star goddess) are the"parents" of Budha (Intellect). Astrologically, you need both the Star (Tara) and the Moon(Chandra) to be strong to have a clear Intellect (Budha) to start any newventure according to Indian astrology Completed. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Thatha_Patty" group.
