Destiny is correlated to time. Time reveals nature. Nature in relation to life shows the destiny. The celestial stars incessantly glide in space helps us to reckon time. The zodiac or the Kalachakra with the stars in it gives the knowledge of time. Man’s ability to peer into the mysteries of destiny or to mould it to his choice is concomitant with his knowledge of destiny and cosmic order on the background of time and space.
The circle (360degree) of the sidereal zodiac has 12 Rasis, each of which nine parts (Navamshas). These 108 (12 X 9) are called Chandrakalas. Each chandrakala is, itself, a micro-constellation. The number of degrees in the sidereal chakra is 360. The number of minutes is 21600. A human being breathes 21600 times each 24 hours. So, breath is time. |
