Q: difference between Purusha and Kalapurusha ?

Hi,

Some questions to Ved. Philosophy, Astrology keep me busy since several weeks.
It is about the Purusha -> Kalapurusha and the tattvas of the Purusha.

What is actually the difference between the Purusha and the Kalapurusha ?
What I found out so far is that the Kalapurusha is basically the cosmic-man. Its head beginning in Aries.
But is this the same as the purusha ?

Do the 15 or 36 tattvas have a meaning in ved. Astrology ?

best regards,

Namaste.

There is also 'Tatpurusha' and that's where all that 'stops' imho.

ॐ तत्पुरुषाय विद्महे महादेवाय धीमहि
तन्नो रुद्रः प्रचोदयात्॥

Om Tatpurushaya Vidmahe Mahadevaya Dhimahi
Tanno Rudrah Prachodayat॥

There is a Tantric link to the Tattwas, but it's going to have to wait until I can post links. I ask for your patience.

Suffice to say that according to the Vedas, Purusha was the consciousness of man expelled from heaven for 'misdeed'. Kal Purusha is that which governs all time on Earth ( Maha Kala Shiva). Tatpurusha is Brahman, the all-pervading truth and consciousness (and that's all I know about this).

I'll explain the Tattwas a bit later. Thank you. *that's gonna take a while and stretch my concentration*

Aum Namah Shivaya
