40. కర్ోధము (Krodhamu)
A gift of God, essential for leading a life of activity. In its subtlest form this may be defined as life impulse symbolically represented through bursting of seeds breaking open the beans.
Krodha is a burst. Life bursts, that is the basic, represented by the planet Mars. Venus represents Kama. The beginnings of the zodiac. Aries is ruled by Mars. The zodiac starts with Mars and ends with Jupiter. The lord of Aries is Mars and the lord of Taurus is Venus. So, life starts first with activity. Activity expresses itself in life. The zodiac starts with krodha (burst). Next comes kama. The third one is Gemini, that is, the two opposites start meeting. Gemini is symbolised by brother and sister. They are not husband and wife. Lot of people confuse us on this. If you see the whole picture, Mercury comes behind, then comes the moon followed by the Sun afterwards. The way in which the whole cycle is put is entirely different.
