Its being in 11th fromthe 3rd seems to give strength to the 3rd bhava of brothers and more particularly younger brothers.-A,%Ära

The mother may have some health issues at the time of delivery but will get protection if Chandra andRavi occupy the 4th bhava (for jataka born in Mesha lagna).Chandrashekhar’s Comments: The missing words do make translation difficult. I have translated asabove as the partial shloka indicates problems to Mother during delivery but protection if Chandra andRavi occupy some bhava. I think the bhava to be occupied will have to be 4th where Ravi will certainlycause problem to the mother during the Jataka’s birth and Chandra the Karaka for 4th with digbala inthe 4th will, yet, protect the mother. I would think this will be more prominently experienced in Meshalagna when Chandra will also own the 4th bhava.The shloka next to the above is completely blank and hence not reproduced.ivze;Syat! pÂv;RsmxI va.------------ |-- viçeñasyät païcavarñasamadhé vä ||Especially in 5th year or thereabouts.Chandrashekhar’s Comments: Being incomplete shloka it is difficult to decipher this.

It could be offering worship toRavi (Sun), as he is lord of the 2nd to 4th bhava for Mesha lagna and so a Maraka.pUvRÉage cr le cNÔ dae; n iv*te,lkmeRzrNØeza> keNÔe - - - - - - - - -.pürvabhäge cara lagne candra doña na vidyate |lagnakarmeçarandhreçäù kendre - - - - - - - - - ||In case of the jataka born in the first half of Sumati nadi, the affliction to Chandra does not manifest.When the 10th lord occupies Lagna and the 8th lord occupies a Kendra ……….Chandrashekhar’s Comments: I think the Randhresha (8th lord position should be in any kendra otherthan the 4th as the 10th lord (for Mesha lagna Saturn, in Lagna, will be mutually aspecting the 8th LordCopyright Chandrashekhar Sharma, Nagpur. 4592

Being rich from childhood, he gets fame when 16 years of age and has great happiness from Father andespecially mother.Chandrashekhar’s Comments: Matri or Pitrisukha includes long living mother or father, Matri meansmother and Pitri means father, living with them for long and having good relations with them. Any orall of these can come under the sukha from father or mother. It could also indicate much happiness fromthose who the Jataka considers equal to his mother or father depending on whose sukha (happiness) isbeing talked about.rajÖare àisiÏí - - - laet! suyaeGyvan!,rajkIyjnõehan! leOyiv*asujIvn>.räjadväre prasiddhiçca - - - lot suyogyavän |räjakéyajanasnehän lekhyavidyäsujévanaù ||He lives a good life out of his skills in writing and friendship or help of politicians.

His interest inastrology started at the age of 43 when hisKetu Mahadasa was coming to a close.

The reason tobring out this non publicized work of Sage Parasara isa) Most scholars on net forums do not know about it b)Most scholars of India who read only English booksdon’t know about it c) Most of us in the astrologicalworld think that Sage Parasara wrote only BPHSassuming this work is of the Original Parasara c) thiswork shows the real usage of astrology as withoutfarmers no nation is a complete nation and astrologerstoday over-indulge in mundane astrology rather thanFarmers Astrology which in olden days was consideredby many as the real benefit of astrology to help all ofmankind whose survival starts with food. Many of usin the last 5 decades have come and gone withoutknowing anything about Farmers Astrology. Asfarmers cannot pay good fees or accord fame to anastrologer and only politicians or businessmen can do sohence this form of astrology which the Sages felt mostimportant has been ignored since 1895 of Englishastrological magazine publications. An old man oncementioned that if some of you can take interest in thisscience and do original research that helps farmers youwould be called in future the ‘Original Researcher ofthe Original Astrology’. To bring the truth home letssee the immortal yogi’s saying from the Last Book ofAstrology - ‘When you do jataka (individual) astrologyyou are helping only one that is the Jataka (individual),when you do mundane astrology in modern times youare helping only yourself but when you do astrology ofthe kissan (farmers) you are helping everyone, eventhose who do not believe in astrology, you feed a nationand that’s real karma.’]605

Brief Introduction:Krushiparashara or Krishiparashara is a compilation of original text in Sanskrit. The text dealswith meteorological aspects of general agriculture. The knowledge and techniques of farminghave always been a part and parcel of the Indian civilization. That the culture and civilization ofthe Vedic Aryans were based on and centered on agriculture is fully borne out even by the oldestportions of the Vedas. The importance of Indra, the rain god and the large number of prayers addressedto him in the Rig Veda prove beyond doubt that the Vedic Aryans were agriculturists.This treatise traces back the evolution of the agricultural science through the literary records to the timeof Kautilya (c. 400 BC), whose work, the Arthashastra, also imparts prominence to agriculture. Thename of Parashara appears in the ancient texts as an individual, as also an institution at different periodsof time and is related to different sciences like astronomy, astrology, medicine, agriculture, social rulesand code etc. We are told that, ‘two more aspects must be taken into account while discussing theidentity of the author: (i) Parashara also is a gotranama; i.e., a family name, it can be shared by severalindividuals belonging to the Parashara clan; and (ii) in ancient India the followers of a certain school ofthought used the same name which was usually the name of the founder of that school. It is furthermentioned that, the book Krishi-Parashara in its present form must have been an abridged redaction ofthe original work of Sage Parashara’.The ancient texts have usually been constructed in verse and formula form known as Chhanda (meters),which adhere to the rules of Sanskrit grammar for such construction. The text of Krishi-Parasharaconsists of two hundred and forty-three verses mostly composed in the popular anustubh (Chhanda)meter. Amongst the many kinds of meters differentiated by the number of syllables in the Sanskritlanguage the anustubh meter is one in which there are 8 syllables in each pada (line) of a verse of 4 padas(lines). This means there are a total number of 32 syllables in the entire verse.This book is written for the benefit of farmers. Thus it is the theory of agriculture expounded in such amanner that the farmers would benefit by its application to their profession. It is in a way a farmer’salmanac containing astronomical and meteorological data arranged according to the seasons and monthsof ancient India. It is the farmer’s ready reckoner containing the basic data of geographical and climaticconditions, which can help him in planning and managing the activity of farming spread over severalmonths. This treatise includes observations on all the aspects of agriculture such as meteorologicalobservations relating to agriculture, management of agriculture, management of cattle, agricultural toolsand implements, seed collection and preservation, plowing and all the agricultural processes involvedright from preparing fields to harvesting and storage of crops. The religious aspect of the Indian psycheis present here as well as the text begins with the salutations to Prajapati (Lord Brahma), the Lord of theliving, and ends with the prayer to the Goddess Laxmi, the Goddess of wealth and prosperity.The treatise advocates a symbiotic relationship, organic farming techniques, crop management, holisticfarming, or rather sustainable use of available resources. All details of which strangely are given at"Krishi Parashar". Our friends in west look to Indian knowledge for pesticides (like planting Neem treesand spraying with cow urine) Bio-diversity (not planting one crop in field), a good set of flowers toattract insects and bees for pollination, cow manure as fertilizers etc. will automatically bring the costdown.As India rediscovers its origins and roots there are well known milestones achieved even as of today byusing techniques mentioned in Krishi Parashara -a) In Bizcomp2009 * 1 Abhishek Bhati’s project (Tata Institute of Social Sciences, Mumbai) won thesecond prize of Rs. 60,000/- !!*1 – Source - http://www.bizcomp.in/pages/results_finals606

) Using methods mentioned in Krishi Parashara and Vedas, Aryakrishak Shri Mohan Shankar Deshpandehas achieved much success. He mentions his methods and inventions on his website -http://www.prithvi.org.in/doku.php?id=krishi&DokuWiki=kovvendrc) Some very elaborate methods on holistic farming techniques are also available on this website – aproject launched by Ajit and Royina http://www.indianorganic.com/index.htmReaders are encouraged to surf the net for more details!!M×üÌwÉkÉïlrÉÉ M×üÌwÉqÉåïkrÉÉ eÉliÉÔlÉÉÇ eÉÏuÉlÉÇ M×üÌwÉÈ |ÌWÇûxÉÉÌSSÉåwÉrÉÑ£üÉåÅÌmÉ qÉÑcrÉiÉåÅÌiÉÍjÉmÉÔeÉlÉÉiÉç ||8||- M×üÌwÉmÉUÉzÉUÈ 1.8.The broad meaning of the above verse is – a farmer’s life is dependent on the living organisms in thesoil he cultivates. During the cultivation, some of these organisms get killed. Since his Dharma (primaryduty) is to produce food for the sustenance of the world, he gets absolved of the sinful deed of killing theorganisms.MüÉÇQû oÉÏeÉÉlÉÉqÉ NåûSsÉåmÉÉå qÉkÉÑkÉ×iÉålÉ |MÇüSÉlÉÉqÉç AÎxjÉoÉÏeÉÉlÉÉqÉç zÉMüRûÉsmÉÈ ||- AÉrÉï cÉÉhÉYrÉ AjÉïzÉÉx§É 2.24.24This means – If the seed is in stick form; coat it with honey and ghee (clarified butter). If it is in bulbform or with a hard cover, coat it with wet cow dung.If there is a farmer amongst you, you will realize how difficult and impossible it is to implent abovesloka! However innovative farmers have implemented this technique in their own way and they wererewarded with excellent results! Sounds interesting? Follow me readers and read each verse of KrishiParashara mentioned below. Maybe if you find it a little difficult; re-read the verse, understand itsmeaning.

Because by doing so, a farmer sustains the world and its creation. Countless creatures andhuman beings are in need of sustenance!607

Either this farmer will become an owner of much land [pÉÔmÉÌiÉÈ] or a king one day.Notes: Even as of today property is always in demand and gives highest possible returns in termsof investment. As population increases, land becomes scarce and even more expensive to obtain.xÉÑuÉhÉïUÉæmrÉ qÉÉÍhÉYrÉxÉlÉæUÌmÉ mÉÔËUiÉÉÈ |iÉjÉÉÌmÉ mÉëÉjÉïrÉlirÉåuÉ M×üwÉMüÉlÉç pÉ£üiÉ×whÉrÉÉ ||4||Sage Parashara says even though the rich or poor may accumulate wealth in terms of gold, silver, jewelsor costly clothes – these people are still dependent on a farmer to feed their hungry stomachs. Thesepeople still keep a lookout for a farmer for regular supply of grains and farm produce.MühPåû MühÉåï cÉ WûxiÉå cÉ xÉÑuÉhÉïÇ ÌuɱiÉå rÉÌS |EmÉuÉÉxÉxiÉjÉÉÌmÉ xrÉÉS³ÉÉpÉÉuÉålÉ SåÌWûlÉÉqÉç ||5||Sage Parashara says that even though the rich may declare their status by displaying their wealth orwearing nice clothes and jewels, without food or shortage of food, these people have to sell off theirpossessions and go in search for food.Notes: History is replete with ample examples where people have sold off prized possessionsduring famines and migrated over distances, to places where food was available and started their lifeafresh!! Here Sage Parashara uses the word [SåÌWûlÉÉqÉç] which indirectly means any living creature bornwith a body – this includes creatures too! So, all living creatures including humans are affected during afamine.A³ÉÇ mÉëÉhÉÉ oÉsÉÇ cÉɳÉqɧÉÇ xÉuÉÉïjÉïxÉÉkÉlÉqÉç |SåuÉÉxÉÑUqÉlÉÑwrÉÉzcÉ xÉuÉåï cÉÉllÉÉåmÉeÉÏÌuÉlÉÈ ||6||Sage Parashara says that grains [A³ÉÇ] or farm produce is the source of sustenance and gives power to anindividual. Devata’s (gods), Rakshashas (demons) and Manushya (humans) are all dependent on food tosustain them.Notes: Apparently this treatise was coined during a period when gods, demons and humans cohabitedthe land. By Hindu legend Gods vanished from sight once the age of kaliyuga dawned uponhumanity. In modern day terms “demons” maybe applied to terrorists or people who indulge in unnecessarywar!!608

So, people must consider cultivation or agriculture as a profession.M×üÌwÉkÉïlrÉÉ M×üÌwÉqÉåïkrÉÉ eÉliÉÔlÉÉÇ eÉÏuÉlÉÇ M×üÌwÉÈ |ÌWÇûxÉÉÌSSÉåwÉrÉÑ£üÉåÅÌmÉ qÉÑcrÉiÉåÅÌiÉÍjÉmÉÔeÉlÉÉiÉç ||8||Sage Parashara says that a farmer is blessed because farming is a noble profession. All living creatures aredependent on a farmer to toil the soil and produce grains. While tiling his land a farmer may un-intentionallykill or destroy animals living in the soil, but this sin is paid off if the farmer feeds visitors to his house.Notes: In olden times when conveyance was not easily available, people took journey on foot.There were no hotels available, so, people were dependent on hospitality of people they would meet ontheir journey. It was and still is a custom in Hindu culture to consider a visitor – known or unknown, asgod sent messenger and treat him/her to a meal or partake of a feast. Such visitors were known as Atithior a guest whose appearance cannot be predicted or known. It was a custom in yonder times for peopleto wait for such visitors, share their food and exchange pleasantries.iÉålÉÉÍcÉïiÉÇ eÉaÉiÉç xÉuÉïqÉÌiÉÍjÉrÉåïlÉ mÉÔÎeÉiÉÈ |AÍcÉïiÉÉxiÉålÉ SåuÉÉzcÉ xÉ LuÉ mÉÑÂwÉÉå¨ÉqÉÈ ||9||Sage Parashara says if a person extends hospitality to a guest (Atithi), he has pleased all gods and offeredobeisances. 1 Such a person is blessed, regarded as a good host, enjoys good will and an example for allothers to follow.uÉ×̹qÉÔsÉÉ M×üÌwÉÈ xÉuÉÉï uÉ×̹qÉÔsÉ cÉ eÉÏuÉlÉqÉç |iÉxqÉÉSÉSÉæ mÉërÉilÉålÉ uÉ×̹¥ÉÉlÉÇ xÉqÉÉcÉUåiÉç ||10||Sage Parashara says all type of agriculture is dependent on rains [uÉ×̹] or rain bearing clouds [qÉåbÉ]. Henceit is important for all farmers to analyze all omens, astrological combinations, mathematics to judgewhat amount of rainfall will be available for agriculture. In ancient history, readers must note, inabsence of bore wells or underground water resources, cultivation was entirely dependent on rains.AiÉÉå uÉixÉUUÉeÉÉlÉÇ qÉÎl§ÉhÉÇ qÉåbÉqÉåuÉ cÉ |AÉRûMÇü xÉÍsÉsÉxrÉÉÌmÉ uÉ×̹¥ÉÉlÉÉrÉ zÉÉåkÉrÉåiÉç ||11||Sage Parashara says that it is important to find who amongst the planets will assume the role of a King[UÉeÉÉ], or a Minister [qÉÎl§É]. In the same way it is important to predict what amount of Rains will beavailable and how much of it will be available for cultivation?Notes: Aadhaka [AÉRûMü] was a measure of rainfall in ancient India. The sage lists four types ofclouds, the Aavarta, Samvarta, Pushkara, and Drona. These four types differ from each other by thenature of rain that is shed by them. Parashara has outlined the gauging or the measurement of rainfall inrelation to the different clouds. There is also a mention of rainfall in terms of Yojanas but later on with1 Publisher: Scholars have often written about Guest is akin to God but in scholarly debate when asked by youngones or ardent western students of Vedic literature the shloka for it they have not been able to quote a shloka insupport of this ancient wisdom, now they can see the shloka.609

the evolution of Kautilya’s Arthashastra (4 th Century BC) rainfall was measured in Dronas. Farmers areadvised by the sage to observe the monthly rainfall beginning with Paush (Hindu month) that is themonth of December - January. Parashara stresses that to know the quantum of monthly rainfall theobserver of the weather has to work every day and keep track of the direction of winds by fixing a rodwith a flag attached to it. According to Parashara, wind from the north or the west brings rain and thatfrom the east or the south indicates absence of rain.A word of caution: Readers must note that this treatise was written for India – a nation situated in theNorthern Hemisphere. Obviously wind directions and rainfall patterns will be different for differentgeographical areas. It behooves the reader to know local observations before attempting any calculationsor modifying methods of farming.2.

This isusually done when the year changes by Shaka Samvat. The fourth from the King is the Minister.Notes: There are several Hindu Almanacs in force, as also the calculation of year – viz. VikramSamvat, Shaka Samvat and so on. Sage Parashara says take the year based on Shaka Samvat, multiplythis number by three [3]. Whatever number is obtained add two [2] to it and then divide this sum byseven [7]. Whatever is the remainder defines the King for the year ahead. Sage Parashara additionallysays that the fourth from the King is the Minister.Let us take an example: As of today in the Gregorian year 2009 AD we are in the Shaka Year 2 1931.* Going by the formula – 1931 X 3 = 5793* 5793 + 2 = 5795* 5795 divided 7 and the remainder is 6Now the week days are1. Sunday (Ravivar - Sun)2. Monday (Somvar or Chandravar - Moon)3. Tuesday (Mangalvar or Bhaumavar – Mars)4. Wednesday (Budhvar – Mercury)5. Thursday (Guruvar – Jupiter)6. Friday (Shukravar – Venus)7. Saturday (Shanivar – Saturn)Going with the above list this year’s Kingship is allocated to Venus!! The Almanac available with yourstruly is Nirnayasagar Panchanga by Shastri Ji from Neemuch (Rajasthan) India.If we go by the list above then fourth from Venus is Moon, so, Moon is awarded the Ministership ofthis year!!2 Shalivahan Saka calendar was started in 78 A.D. at Pratishthan hence whenever you want to calculate Saka year forany year you may subtract it by 78610

A word of caution: Any westerner attempting these calculations MUST get hold of a good and reliableHindu Almanac (Panchanga) and then proceed with these calculations. In any case if he/she gets aHindu Vedic Almanac these calculations will be mentioned already, but it is important for a student toknow these formulas rather than someone else giving end results on a platter. For example inNirnayasagar Panchanga for the current year 2009 (shaka 1931) this list is givenKing - Venus,Minister - Moon,Dhanesh - Jupiter,Dhaanyesh - Mercury (significator for grains),Meghesh - Sun (meghesh is significator for type of clouds),Rasesha - Saturn,Nirsesha - Jupiter,Phalesha - Sun,Durgesha is Sun!ÍcɨÉsÉÉMåïü lÉ×mÉå uÉ×̹uÉ×ï̹ÂaÉëÉ ÌlÉzÉÉmÉiÉÉæ |uÉ×̹qÉïlSÉ xÉSÉ pÉÉæqÉå cÉlSìeÉå uÉ×̹¨ÉqÉÉ ||13||Sage Parashara says if Sun is the King of the year, farmers should expect average rainfall.

According to the latestmeasurements, the distance is calculated as eighty miles.613

Culled from Valmiki Ramayana, [2/54/29][3/69]The Ancient Indian measures for distance, as per Kautilya's Arth Shaastra, a republication of Penguinare:1 Angul (finger wide space) = 3/4 of present day inch;4 Angul = Dharnugrah (bow grip) = 3 in;8 Angul = 1 Dhanurmushti (fist with thumb raised) = 6 in;12 Angul = 1 Vitastaa (span-distance of stretched out palm between the tips of a person's thumb andlittle finger) = 9 in;4 Vitastaa = 1 Aratni or Hast (cubit or Haath) = 18 in;4 Aratni (Haath) = 1 Dand or Dhanush (bow) = 6 ft;10 Dand = 1 Rajju = 60 ft;2 Rajju = 1 Paridesh = 120 ft;2000 Dand (Dhanush) = 1 Kosh or Gorut = 4000 yards or 2 1/4 miles - nearly 3.66 km;4 Kosh = 1 Yojan = 9 miles - nearly 15 km; and this being so, the British revenue measured a Yojan as a 5mile distance and Chambers and Oxfords has this 5 mile figure in their dictionaries, while traditionallya Yojan (4 Kosh or Kos) is said to be as a distance of 10 miles.[Taken from Valmiki Ramayan 3/69]Source - http://us.geocities.com/bhagvatjee/vraamaayan/notes/37distance.htmhttp://www.valmikiramayan.net/aranya/sarga69/aranya_69_prose.htmBoth passages are taken from Valmiki Ramayana, but both do not match among themselves. Apparentlywhen these Mythological Texts were written down as text, different authors gave different versionsregarding measurements. Also these are holistic or practical ways of measurements – for example if abow is being manufactured the manufacturer measures the hand of the person and the bow grip isequivalent to 4 anguls or four fingers. If the bow is meant for a young student, naturally his fingers willbe thin, but the measurement for the bow grip will still be 4 anguls. Against this if the person is a fullygrown adult, the bow grip is again 4 anguls but naturally his fingers are fully grown, so the bow gripwill be wider. So, this was rather a tailor made hand crafted way of doing things. Modern daymathematicians may argue over this matter, but this is how measurements were done in Vedic times.Readers are encouraged to do their own research about Hydrological methods in Ancient India.

Sage Parashara now invites attention to wind patterns and directions. If wind flows towards North orWest directions, one can expect rainfall. If wind flows towards South or East, it is an indication of norain. If the air is still, again no rainfall will be observed. If wind blows intermittently, rainfall will occurintermittently.LMæüMÇü mÉgcÉShQåûlÉ qÉÉxÉxrÉ ÌSuÉxÉÉå qÉiÉÈ |mÉÔuÉÉï®åï uÉÉxÉUÏ uÉ×̹¨ÉUÉ®å cÉ lÉæÍzÉMüÐ ||32||Sage Parashara now tells us whether rainfall will occur during the day or at night. For judging thecorrect time, observe wind for Five [5] Dand or Ghati and consider this as a base reading for theconcerned day. If wind blows in the earlier part of this time interval, rainfall must be divined duringday time. If wind blows in the latter part of this time interval, rainfall must be divined during nighttime.Notes: Measurement of time during Vedic times was not Metric (MKS) or FPS, instead a systemwhere Dand or Ghati was involved. This Dand or Ghati is an equivalent of 24 minutes in the presentsense. So, taking this into consideration the above verse translates to –24 X 5 = 120 minutes or 2 hours!!If wind blows in the first hour, rainfall is expected during day time and if wind blows in the latter hour,rainfall is expected during night time. However it is not clear when this 2 hour interval should bemeasured. Am taking the liberty to add that this interval may be around local sunrise – this is the timewhen Hindu Vedic Day starts. Change of date in Western calendar occurs at midnight at 0000 hour,while Indian Hindu Vedic day begins at local sunrise!!SiuÉÉ ShQåû mÉiÉÉMüÉÇ iÉÑ uÉÉiÉxrÉÉlÉÑ¢üqÉåhÉ cÉ |ÌuÉ¥ÉårÉÉ qÉÉÍxÉMüÐ uÉ×Ì¹È M×üiuÉÉ rɦÉqÉWûÌlÉïzÉqÉç ||33||Sage Parashara now asks the diviner to take a long staff and attach a flag or a piece of cloth at the toppart and erect this assembly in open space.

A tithi changes when the difference betweenLongitude of Sun and Moon changes by 12 degrees. There are two main Hindu Almanacs or Panchang’sinto force, where one considers the conjunction of Sun and Moon as the starting point of the monthwhen New Moon (Amavasya) occurs. The second Panchang takes the opposition of Sun and Moon (FullMoon or Poornima) as the starting point of a Hindu Vedic Month. In both cases when the Moon crosses12 degrees from these points a new tithi comes into force. So while western calendar stays accuratebeginning at 0000 hours, the Hindu Tithi sometimes extends to two western days. There are FifteenTithi’s in the Bright half (Shukla Paksha) and likewise fifteen tithi’s in the dark half (Krishna Paksha).Western readers are encouraged to consult a reliable Hindu Vedic Almanac before attempting any ofthese observations. Please note that Hindu Vedic Almanac is based on the sidereal zodiac and degrees ofvarious heavenly bodies are calculated accordingly.To Be Continued……….617

´ÉÏ aÉhÉåzÉÉrÉ lÉqÉÈKalpalataa - 1ByShree SomanathacharyaA ‘Mission Saptarishis’ InitiativeकलथािभधानeÉæÍqÉlÉÏrÉ erÉÉåÌiÉwÉ pÉÉwrÉxÉÉåqÉlÉÉjÉÉcÉÉrÉïCommentary by: Jaimini Jyotish Expert Shree SomnathacharyaAlÉÑuÉÉSÉMüMüÉåÌrÉsÉç MülSÉQæû AhhÉlÉ MÑüqÉÉU uÉåÇMüOûÉcÉÉrÉï LqÉ. L., oÉÏ.LQû.Translation by: Koyil Kandadai Ananna Kumar Venkatacharya M.A., B.Ed.Re-Translated for Saptarishis Astrology by Madhav Deshmukh &Virendra Battu, IndiaPre-Amble By Saptarishis AstrologyThousands of years back Sage Parashara and Sage Jaimini gave their teachings in the form ofshlokas & sutras. Sanskrit is known as the mother of all languages and the complexity of thescript makes it very difficult for a present day scholar to decipher the correct meaning of theoriginal verse. This is because over several generations and also in the absence of expertmentors, much of the information is lost. Still however existing manuscripts are witness to the richknowledge they contain. Translating these Sanskrit sloka’s into commonly spoken Hindi or severalIndian vernacular languages is an exercise where the meaning of original verse maybe modified orinterpreted in many different ways. There after translating these vernacular books into English isanother daunting task, because English language by itself lacks the rich structure and depth whichSanskrit may convey. So, while we at Saptarishis Astrology attempt to facilitate the translation of thesetreatises for Astrology Students & especially the Jaimini Gurus of today, any mistakes or misinterpretationmay be attributed to us and our team – Madhav & Virendra, who translates them and notto the original author.Coming back to Sage Jaimini’s original work “Jaimini Sutras” – these verses or sutra’s are themost complex example of Sanskrit language, where both mathematical formulae, interpretation andthen the meaning maybe conveyed and contained by the same verse. Of several interpretations of theseSutra’s – a treatise by the name of Kalpalataa is one of the rarest of rare manuscripts. This is rarebecause it is not available and very few Astrologers (counted on finger tips) have access to some veryold copies of Kalpalataa, in that too the full form of Kalpalatta is not available. The dating of thismanuscript some scholars say is 6 th century and some say 16 th century. The name Kalpalataa is notknown on internet forums, but its work is quoted in the form of its author Somanatha Mishra via theform of Somanatha Drekanna and so on. The question honest students of jyotish should ask is what is618

the shloka for calculating the Somanatha Drekanna, why does not anyone quote it? In recenttimes Dr Raman tried to uphold the Parampara of Vedic Astrology by insisting on quoting of shlokas aswithout that shastra is not to be learned and half baked knowledge comes out causing harm to receiverof wrong predictions. Revered Dr Raman did this via his magazine and in his classic work ‘MyExperiences in Astrology’ one can find the importance of quotation of shlokas between his experienceswith his grandfather and also when to let go of the shloka in light of one’s experience. Presented belowis first the English translation from Hindi of what the Late Venkatacharya did from Sanskrit in Telegulipi and then at the end our team member Mr Shanmukha has translated Telegu lipi sanskrit intodevanigiri sanskrit for other scholars and gurus in Jaimini astrology to decipher and come out with abetter translation and commentary.Let us see how the ‘Transition Of Knowledge’ happens and how long it takes for it to come out.Somewhere in a small town by the name of Rajahmundry, Andhra Pradesh there was a man whofreely distributed manuscripts unlike the past tradition of 10,000 years of India where one won’tgive a manuscript even to his best friend and especially to his own student unless the student hasdone Ph.D in Public Relations on Guru Management. Some decades back this man who has beautifulears like Lord Ganapati, face that glows with radiance even at an old age gave the manuscript ofKalpalatta to Iranganti Rangacharya & also to Koyil Kanddaade Ananna Kumar Venkatacharya fromHanumakonda, Andhra Pradesh. Shri Venkatacharya in turn translated it in Hindi. Later this Hindiand also Sanskrit manuscript (Telegu lipi) was given by Ravindra Bhagavat to Saptarishis Astrology,we in turned passed it on to Mentor No.3 1 , he has translated this along with Virendra Battu, as it is fromVenkatacharya’s Hindi work. In all the passing over some of the meaning of the shlokas as written inKalpalataa would have been wrongly translated hence we would in the future bring out Sanskrit to Englishword to word translation. Since Madura ji had the original manuscript, it is important to note that hecould procure a manuscript of Kalpalatta 3 and 1/4 th chapters (about 13 quarters of Jaimini out of 16), therest is not available at all, if at all there is. If someone has it or some Parampara who claims to havemanuscripts of Jaimini they must kindly share it immediately with all for the betterment of Jyotishcommunity. So in all it has taken decades for this maybe rudimentary translation to come out in frontof the world jyotish community, you can imagine how long it will take scholars to write a purposefulcommentary on this, then how long it would take you to master each verse and its application. The needis the topmost 3-4 Jaimini astrology scholars to write translations and commentary on it and then you asa reader should tooth comb each verse see various opinions in translations and commentaries and form acomplete work, which would take several years but this is the process of how shastra is to be studied andhow it is to be disseminated to the world and hence we would bring out various translations of the sameKalpalatta which might be confusing for the young ones but for the scholars each variation intranslation is essential and they understand this process of what we talk about.In the pages to follow would be the translation of Venkatacharya with additional clarifications ornotes from our end. Due to time limitations the Sanskrit shlokas in devanigiri could not be comparedwith the translation of Mr Venkatacharya. Without the Sanskrit Shloka it is impossible to identifywhat is/could have been Shri Ventakacharya’s words vs. Shri Somanatha Mishra’s words. Kalpalattathough in prose form is often shied by scholars to do a purposeful translation and commentary as it isnot so easy a work, and can be confusing at times, kindly note this. Also presented below is informationthat should be used after due consideration and the reason for presenting this is to only give a ‘Hint’ toall of us who think we know Jaimini Astrology but only to see how little we know of Jaimini today. Reiterating,this information is not being presented with a view for using the material for immediatepredictions. Without the proper translations of ancient commentaries on Jaimini Sutras, we students ofJaimini are like blind men trying to show others the path. We remain eternally grateful to Shri RavindraBhagavat for his un-stoppable effort in bringing real Jaimini out. At the same time inspite of sending to avillage in Andhra, a representative of our writer & team member Mr Venkat Ramana, to procure a bookwritten on 70 dasas of Jaimini as mentioned in Kalpalatta, we failed to procure it. Weeks of planning andanxiety gone in waste to procure other works of Venkatacharya, if anyone has it please do share. We all1 Publisher: Mentor No.3 does not wish his name to be revealed and hence writes with a pen name MadhavDeshmukh which was given to him by a Bhrighu Clan Jyotishi known as the Bhrighus. He was told this ishis spiritual name and hence he must use this name.619

will be grateful. The reason this effort was done is, since today no Jaimini astrologer on internetknows even the names of 70 types of dasas nor has any astrologer on net forums or parampara forums ever evenmentioned 70 dasas of Jaimini inspite of concentrated upsurge in Jaimini astrology in internet forums inthe last 12 years. Obviously it does not take 12 years to reveal names & calculations of 70 dasas hence thispresumption by us.Kalpalataa was originally written by Shri Somnathacharya (for westerners – the word Shri inthe beginning of a male name is a salutation) in prose form. Shri Somnathacharya was the sonof Shri Krishnamishra – the author of yet another monumental work – Jyotish Phalaratnamalawhich is considered as a ‘Shastra in Itself’ and is not a mere book. Yours truly tried to locatethe correct meaning of Kalpalataa, but received indirect interpretations. Kalp [MüsmÉ] literally means time,a time equivalent to 4320,000,000 man years – for this is One day in the life time of Brahma – the creatorof this universe as per Hindu mythology. Kalpadruma [MüsmÉSìÓqÉ] happens to be a tree in Lord Indra’sparadise – a mystical tree. Yours truly assumes Kalpalataa [MüsmÉsÉiÉÉ] to be a wine in the heavens orparadise. Our author Shri Somanatha realized the depth and richness of Sage Jaimini’s Sutra’s. Sincethis is a mystical wine and in a heavenly space (infinity is the term), one is expected to come across avariety of flowers or rather bouquet of flowers in the form of teachings and knowledge as one climbs thiswine. Sounds interesting? Welcome dear friends to a journey where a student will come across hithertounknown knowledge and a variety of techniques un-revealed so far.May God bless all those who uphold the true tradition of the Sages.PrefaceAs written in Venkatacharya’s translation of Kalpalatta´ÉÏqÉiÉå sɤqÉÏ WûrÉaÉëÏuÉÉrÉ lÉqÉÈShrimate Laxmi Hayagrivaye NamahSalutations to Mother Laxmi the giver and sustainer of knowledge and to the 24 incarnationsof Lord Vishnu (Hayagriva happens to be one of these 24 incarnations).To Sage Jaimini, knower of all knowledge, GreetingsSir,Kalpalataa is one of the best treatises so far. This was handed down to me with the blessingsand goodwill of scientist and astrologer Shree Mathur Krishnamurty Shatri Ji who resides inRajamahendravaram.The original author of Kalpalataa is Shri Somnathacharya. Where Somnath Ji stayed isdifficult for me to say; only historians can reveal this secret?620

According to Shri Somnathacharya Ji, Kalpalataa happens to be an interpretation ofJaimini Stotras (sutra/verses). Maharshi Jaimini is considered as one of the greatest Sageswho revealed Astrology or the technique of foretelling the future. His method is differentfrom other lineages. There are other interpretations of Sage Jaimini’s sutra’s, but Kalpalataahappens to be exhaustive and the best so far.Kalpalataa is an independent treatise and it has four chapters, each chapter has fourdivisions. The one in my possession has three parts of the fourth chapter missing. Nobodyknows where these remaining parts lay hidden?As providence would have it, am entrusted with the divine task of translating this treatise toHindi. I am grateful for the favor and duty entrusted to me.Am indebted and thankful to all mentors and guides who have blessed me to undertake thistask.In GratitudeKoyil Kanddaade Ananna Kumar VenkatacharyaNote For Readers: Where ever it is observed that English translation may not convey the entire meaning, notesby SA Translators will appear as reference notes.´ÉÏqÉiÉå sɤqÉÏ WûrÉaÉëÏuÉÉrÉ lÉqÉÈShrimate Laxmi Hayagrivaye NamahzsÉÉåMüsɤqÉÏ qÉWûÏ xÉåurÉqÉÉlÉÇ μÉåiÉqÉhÉQûsÉ uÉÉÍxÉlÉÇ |WûrÉaÉëÏuÉ qÉWÇû uÉlSå xuÉå¹ MüÉrÉÉïjÉï ÍxÉ®rÉå ||First BouquetHere our author has raised the status of Maharshi Jaimini or Sage Jaimini to that ofGod, and he says that in the first four chapters Sage Jaimini reveals the secrets oftime and space. Since this is a mortal world and every event happens at a particulartime, it is important to have the knowledge of time, to not only know the event, but topredict when and where such an event may take place. Sage Jaimini does so by revealing themathematics or formulae to predict the event. Thereafter Sage Jaimini reveals themethodology how to interpret the results and divine the fruits or predict the event. Eventssuch as lifespan of a living organism, life after death, karaka or planetary significators forhouses and events, ascendants, drekannas, navamsa are described by Sage Jaimini.What will mankind gain by revelation of such knowledge? The author says peoplegain knowledge of time and space, and they realize that their existence is limited or no one621

on this mortal plane is immortal. They will die one day!! This creates fear in theminds of people. Since it is difficult to know what may happen after death when deeds committedduring lifetime are judged, people take a hint and restrict or change their lifestyles to live a life of selfrighteousnessand piety. Once people turn to religion for guidance, there is an overall purity of the souland mind. When mind becomes pure, automatically people gain knowledge of the universe or the why’sand how’s of this creation. Having gained such knowledge people may gain Salvation or Moksha.Hence, Sages considered this knowledge as part and parcel of Vedas or one of the limbs ofVedas (Vedang). Once this treatise gained the importance of being one of the limbs ofVedas, it automatically gained importance and people saw the need to know or gainknowledge of such treatises. It is said in Mahabharata that one who gains the knowledge ofall the limbs of the Vedas, becomes the all knower or the sum total knowledge that needs tobe gained. Hence this treatise is deemed important!!In the first chapter topics on techniques, karaka (significators), pad (arudha incommon language), Rajyoga (combination of planets promising prosperity or kingly status)are mentioned. In the second chapter topics on ascendant, karaka, longevity and their dasa(see notes below) periods and dasa calculations are mentioned. Third chapter has topics orrather descriptive analysis of Drekanna division. This is because knowledge aboutascendant, karaka etc. etc., is considered as Bahirrang Shastra or subjects which describe theOuter Manifestation Of A Native. Studying the Drekanna one gets to know what kind of effortsa native will put in, thus this involves studying the Innermost Efforts or rather the expressed fruits fora native. Hence the study of Drekanna is also known as Antarrang Shastra. Of theseAntarrang Shastra is of prime importance. Others have laid importance of the study of Amsas,so why is study of Drekanna given importance? This is because Daivagya’s like VarahaMihira too gave importance to Drekanna, hence it is importance for a student of astrology tostudy Drekanna. Drekanna is nothing but a house in a chart divided into three partsequaling ten degrees. Varaha Mihira gave the method to derive Drekanna divisions but didnot give methods to judge these divisions.Kalpalataa mentions three different interchangeable (Parivrutti) methods to arrive atDrekanna chart. These methods are Savya (direct), Apsavya (reverse order). For example,by Savya method house divisions for Aries (odd signs) are counted beginning with Ariesand then in the direct order. For Taurus (even signs) and in the Apsavya method, divisionswill begin from Pisces. Thus using three different interchangeable methods a student canarrive at 12 signs X 3 divisions – that is 36 drekanna’s.Now Amsa divisions are described, unlike other books, Kalpalataa mentions adifferent method to arrive at these Amsas.Navamsa DivisionsFor Aries, Leo and Sagittarius (trikona rasis or trines), navamsa divisions will be counted bythe Savya or direct method beginning with Aries. For Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn,navamsa divisions will be counted in the Apsavya or reverse order beginning with Virgo.For Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, navamsa divisions begin in the Savya or direct methodbeginning with Libra. For Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, navamsa’s will be counted in theApsavya or reverse order beginning with Pisces.622

Now Dwadasamsa divisions are described. Like all other books on this subject, Kalpalataatoo mentions dwadasamsa divisions in the Savya or direct method to arrive at 12 divisionsfor each signs.Hora DivisionNow Hora division is described. Hora finds mention in Brihajjatak as well as other wellknown books, but the method described in Kalpalataa is different.First Method: For both Bhava and Rasi, first half division (Hora) begins with the same rasi,second half division belongs to the Labhapati. According to Varaha Mihira there are a total offive different methods to construct a hora chart.Second Method: This type of Hora division is best for judging Nashta Jataka and Longevity.Here the first half division in Aries belongs to Aries, and the second half belongs to Taurus.First half of Taurus belongs to Gemini and the second half belongs to Cancer. Likewise horadivisions of other signs can be calculated. This type of Hora division is helpful for judgingRajyoga and longevity calculations also.Third Method: In this method the first half belongs to the same rasi, and the second halfbelongs to the sign where 8 th lord from the rasi (under consideration) is placed 2 !! Some usethis hora for judging longevity only. There is yet another variation to the above method;some people take the sign where lagna lord is situated, calculate the Ashrum Rasi [AwÉ×qÉ UÉÍzÉ]from this point, and take this as lagna in hora chart 3 . This version they say is helpful in judginglife after death for a native. Thus, these five variants of Hora technique need to be analyzedand their results divined by learned daivagyas accordingly.Ghati LagnaNow Ghati Lagna is being described, some say the calculation should begin with theascendant in the natal chart, but Kalpalataa mentions this differently. Find out which out ofthe two – ascendant or the 7 th sign is stronger, if the native is male calculate Ghati Lagna inthe direct fashion, if the native is female consider reverse order. 4 This is the main differenceto be found in Kalpalataa. This book mentions various karakas, in the order mainly AtmanKarka, Svakaraka, Dasha karaka, Bhava karaka. Of these five 5 are most important.1) Atman Karka is one which covers most distance in a sign and finds mention in othershastra’s too.2) Swakaraka is the lord of the ascendant, which will be described in the comingchapters.3) Planet whose dasa period is prevailing at the instant becomes the Dasa karaka and thistoo will be described further.2 SA Translators: For example we are calculating second hora division for Taurus – the 8 th sign from Taurus isSagittarius, find out where Jupiter is located in the chart, and again if for example Jupiter is in the sign of Cancer,then the second hora of Taurus will belong to Cancer3 SA Translators: Please note that no such word as Ashrum exists in Hindi dictionaries, so it is left to the reader to tryand find out what this really means – please do share your research with us4 SA Translators: Please note that no distinction between male female charts is being done in Jaimini softwares andnet forums on calculation of Ghati Lagna, this is a remarkable feature found in Kalpalatta.5 SA Translators: There is discrepancy in the original text - only four are mentioned - the line starts on image file 10and continued on image file 11 speaks of ONLY four karakas, while the next sentence mentions them as a total offive!! So, in totality one of the karaka's is not mentioned!!623

4) Bhava karaka are of permanent and variable type. Bhava karaka can be of all thehouses in a horoscope. These are also described in Krishniya shastra (another treatise).People who follow Jainism 6 , they do not differentiate between swakaraka and atman karaka.They sometimes use other karakas too. Considering this variation, swakaraka is of utmostimportance. Karakas have an important role to play as far as fruits or results are concerned, hence itis important to know which planet gets signification of which karaka. It is equally important for astudent to listen to his mentor carefully, without his guidance it is difficult to divineproperly. It is also important to know which lineage is followed by a mentor, above karakas and theirmeanings will be different for different lineages. If a student does not follow or know the religionof his mentor, he will be ridiculed in public. Hence it is important for a student to pray andfollow his Guru or mentor. Next he must pray and worship Bhagwati Tripura Sundari. As athird step, a student must attentively listen to the words of his mentor, and visualizing thedeity he must divine the results as they are mentioned in the shastras. If the results are notbased on methodology of shastras, contrary results and discrepancies may occur. MaharshiVyas has said that a Jyotisha and a practical person can easily become Brahmaghataka or thedestroyer of Brahm Vidya (Astrology is considered Brahm Vidya or divine knowledge).Hence it is important that method be followed and both good and bad results be opined in aclear and honest manner. Results should not be given as a written down text, it is forbidden byshastras. If a daivagya gives a written prediction, it may not come true. Whatever method ismentioned in the shastras, they will be followed in true letter and in spirit.The first chapter has four sub divisions. The first division gives us definitions andspecific terms; second division gives us results to be opined about the swakaraka.Third division gives us information about Pad or Arudha, and the last and thefourth division gives us information about marital issues. Second chapter has descriptionabout forty (40) different dasa systems, third chapter has description about drekanna andRajyoga thereof, longevity and sixteen different dasa systems to judge longevity and lastlyStri Jataka or Female horoscopy. Fourth Chapter has description about circumstances ofdeath of a native, travel and then information about netherworlds (after death) usingfourteen different dasa systems.A Daivagya is supposed to have in-depth knowledge about sutras and then all theseventy 7 dasa’s to divine results for a native. Having known all of the techniques mentionedin sutras, results so divined will definitely come true. Misfortunes if indicated in ahoroscope, must be confirmed by two to three different methods and only then the message beconveyed to the native. On the contrary even if ONE Raj Yoga is indicated in a chart, thesame MUST be conveyed immediately. Other indications in the chart maybe checked usingfour or five different techniques and the results conveyed to the native. Likewisemisfortunes indicated by evil houses may be checked accordingly, but in this case only one6 Publisher: Deviating from the sentence one must comment that Shri Madura Krishnamoorthy Shastri one of theoldest scholars of Jaimini Astrology alive today has indicated to us that in olden periods Jain Muni’s of India hadconcentrated a lot on Jaimini Astrology and even wrote commentaries on it. This is news since nothing has come outfrom those quarters in available works in Jaimini to the astrological community.7 Publisher: Kindly note the reference of the seventy dasas mentioned in Kalpalata, Venkatacharya from Andhra isheard to have worked on these 70 dasas and written a book. We are still trying to procure this. We still have not readfull Kalpalatta as it is being translated but we remember conversation with Mr Shastri that there is a rare text by thename of Moola Shastra by Kalidasa which mentions the calculation of these dasas. This was told to us by MaduraShastriji and one will notice that net forums have never mentioned the word Moola Shastra work/manuscript ever. MrShastriji has searched through 18 libraries all over India for this work and accepts failure in locating it. In previousarticle of Mr Shastri published in SA in his article he has mentioned Moola Shastra reference via Kalpalatta.624

or two techniques are enough. If Raj Yoga is indicated in a horoscope, find the appropriatedasa when Raj Yoga will manifest, death maybe predicted during the last part of such a dasa. Ifindications indicate death within such a Dasa period, using two to three differenttechniques, death for the native may be conveyed for that particular period. It is the duty ofa Daivagya to test such techniques on sufficient horoscopes and gain proficiency in divingresults for a native. For natives born in or with Raj Yoga, results maybe conveyed to thenative in a pleasant manner.Phalit DasasNow Phalit Dasa systems are described.1) One finds mention about forty dasa systems in the second chapter, of these ONLY elevensuch dasa systems are indicated for natives born with Raj Yoga. A Daivagya must know thesedasa’s and techniques to convey results to a native.2) For natives born with extraordinary destines, only five dasa systems are indicated.3) There are several ordinary dasa’s, but for Raj Yoga only four dasa’s give results of RajYoga. These four dasa’s are Yogardha Dasa (Raj Yoga causing planets), Labhadipati’sDrekkana Dasa, Bhava Rahasya Dasa, Mandooka Pulit Dasa. For a native born with RajYoga, even if one dasa system indicates period where kingly status may be conferred onthe native, it must be conveyed appropriately.4) Ordinary dasa’s are Nakshatrabhed Dasa, Nakshatraja Dasa, Nisargdasa, Chardasa,Charparyaya Dasa, Sthirparyaya Dasa, and Gochar (transit planetary) Dasa. In theabsence of any good Yoga’s in a horoscope, these ordinary dasa’s maybe used to divineresults for a native.5) For longevity predictions all natives are covered by four dasa’s, mainly Brahma Dasa,Varnada Dasa, Chardasa and lastly Charparyaya Dasa. Other dasa’s can be usedwherever applicable.6) If Brahma amongst planets cannot be easily identified, taking the rasi of the native, aDaivagya may calculate imaginary Brahma and dasa’s maybe calculated to divine resultsfor the native.VarnadaVarnada Lagna maybe calculated in the following manner – Add or subtract (the words usedin original devnagri script are Milaker aur Vibhakta kerna) the longitudes of Hora lagna andAscendant (Udaya Lagna), find the weakest trikona from this spot and calculate dasaaccordingly. Hence four different Varnada Lagna’s and dasa’s maybe calculated. A Daivagyamust use his sense of judgment to find which of these four calculations agree with each otherand divine death for the native. Whenever death inflicting period is known, a Daivagya mayuse Kaksha Vriddhi and Kaksha Hrasa to adjust death inflicting dasa and then divine deathfor a native.In the chapter on Drekanna, several methods of longevity are described, but aDaivagya may use his skills to judge longevity to arrive at conclusions. He MUST then useGhatika Lagna and calculate Ghatika’s and then calculate dasa’s and divine death or travel towardsthe ending portion of such a dasa.625

AspectsNow salient features of drishti or aspects are being mentioned. Aspect of a weakmoon (kshina chander) can modify a good yoga into a weak or evil yoga. During adeath inflicting dasa, if periods belonging to such weak planets exist, it will surelybring death for the native. Without the involvement of a weak moon if auspiciousperiod is predicted during such a dasa, inauspicious results will come to pass. By a differentschool of thought, such results are also predicted for Rahu, but by Kalpalataa both Rahu andMars can give inauspicious results. If these planets are supposed to give auspicious fruits, aDaivagya is supposed to study planetary strengths and divine results accordingly.Yogada If Mars is a yogadata (yoga causing planet or yogakaraka) or if an exalted Mars is thecause of Raj Yoga, such combinations maybe divined accordingly. Usually Mars, Saturn and Rahu are the cause of death for a native. However if theseplanets are the cause of Raj Yoga for a native, careful study is needed. If Sun is yogada, the native will achieve kingly status. If such a Sun (yogada) isaspected by a full moon (opposition), such a native will definitely achieve kingly status in aland surrounded by water or near water. If Mercury becomes yogada, the native will achieve fame because of others (friends,relatives).If Jupiter becomes yogada, the native will definitely be a learned person or an advisor. If Venus becomes a yogada in a horoscope, such a native will either be interested inthe arts or seeking company through opposite sex. If Saturn is a yogada, the native will achieve status at a small place or be a keeper ofthe forests or live in a forest. If Rahu becomes a yogada, the native will obey a king or he will be a tale bearer, awicked person, a backbiter, a backstabber or a sycophant. If Ketu becomes a yogada, the native will be a follower of Lord Shiva or a keeper ofsuch a temple. In likewise manner, results maybe divined for a native studying all aspects ina chart. If multiple planets become yogada in a chart, study the natural strengths of planetsand divine accordingly. Without studying strengths, it will be a futile exercise to announceresults arbitrarily. A native can become a King amongst Kings, if auspicious planets combineto give yoga. If Yogkaraka 8 planet is aspected by one planet, the native will be King amongst Kings,if two or more planets aspect a yogada planet, results will come to pass or be nullified.8Translator: Suddenly this is where yogakaraka word creeps up while discussing yogada theory626

Special Combination If a yoga karaka planet receives aspect by Rahu, the native will become a poorBrahmin or a pauper. If such a combination (yoga karaka aspected by Rahu) happens to be in ahoroscope belonging to a barbarian, a man of low birth, an outcaste or a wicked person, such anative will be a King amongst his clan 9 . If Saturn aspects such a combination (mentioned in above sentence), the native(outcaste) will be rule a small territory, if such a combination happens to be in a chartbelonging to a Brahmin, such a Brahmin (in older days Brahmins were considered an uppercaste or hierarchy in Hindu culture) will become one who sells betel leaves for a living oroffers betel nuts and leaves for a living. If such a combination receives drishti (aspect) of Mars, the native will become acommander of armies; in a Brahmin chart the same combination makes the Brahmin adevotee of fire. 10 If Jupiter aspects, the native will be a King who follows and upholds religion and belearned person. If Venus aspects, the native will have many horses around his place ofresidence (in modern times this may be applicable to conveyances). If Chander (Moon), Rahu and Saturn aspect a yogada planet, the native will die of asnakebite. Such results maybe carefully divined while considering exaltation and debilitationof planets.If a chart does not have a single Yogakarka planet, the native will live an ordinary life. Some school of thought believe that if yoga karaka planet is in combination with anarudha, it is a yoga by itself, but by Kalpalataa it is not so 11 . The reason is, in Kalpalataaunderstanding of Arudha is included along with Lagna. From Lagna or ascendant one mayjudge a native’s lineage, father, characteristics (guna) and his physical form. Only then adaivagya divines or studies other matters from a horoscope.Caste A native’s caste maybe judged from swakaraka, if labha sthana (11 th house) from sucha swakaraka has Jupiter in it or in conjunction with it, the native will have characteristics ofa Brahmin. Krushniya shastra mentions a lot about such a labhadhipati (11 th Lord) and onegets to know much about a native’s caste. If swakaraka or the 11 th Lord from swakaraka receives conjunction with Rahu, thenative will be a chandal or a person performing funeral rites in a crematorium.9 SA Publisher: We had referred to this shloka in one of our commentaries in this issue, this is a very very importantverse showing how a same combination can give 2 different and opposite results in different men of different castes,such kind of verse is rarest of rare and has not been seen before in our limited studies. On this aspect more will bewritten later by us as space restricts.10 Translator: Think here ends the rules for special combination, not sure11 Translators: This sentence is in direct contradiction to the last stanza’s where arudhas are mentioned and at thesame time Venkatacharya at places, within a sentence uses the word yogada and also in the same sentenceyogakaraka, though both are different classically speaking.627

irth.If Saturn and Rahu are both involved, the native will be a malaich or a person of lowlyIf Mars is conjoined in such a manner, the native will belong to forbidden caste.If Venus is so conjoined, the native will achieve Kingly status.If an exalted Saturn is so conjoined, the native is a shudra (low caste). If Saturn is debilitated the native belongs to Shankar (mixed lineage/parentage orhybrid) caste.If Mercury exclusively is involved, the native belongs to Vaishya or trading caste. If multiple planets exist in the 11 th from swakaraka or aspect this sign, the strongestamongst such planets will define the caste of the native.Dasa Years SpecificsWhile calculating the dasa years for planets one needs to consider Kakshahrasa andKakshavriddhi to adjust dasa systems like say for example Sun gets 3 years, Kshina or weakMoon gets 1 year, Strong Moon gains 6 years, exalted Jupiter gains 12, debilitated Jupiter gets6, mercury gets 3, Venus gets 6, exalted Venus gains again 6, rahu gets 1, and ketu and Sungets 3. Depending on strength of Saturn it gets 5 or 6 or maybe 7 years. Mars gets 2 or 3. ForLongevity or yoga Mercury, strong Moon, Venus, Mars and Jupiter get 1, 2, 3, 4 additionalyears respectively as vriddhi. As for Saturn, Mars and Rahu, these get 1, 2, 3, and 4 years ofvriddhi. Ketu simply gets 1.5 additional years. Some schools of thought do not apply such vriddhiin case of Sun. If Rahu is in conjunction with auspicious planets, then add another 1.5 yearsvriddhi for that particular planet. For inauspicious planets in the like manner, 1.5 years needsto be deducted. Exaltation and debilitation of planets should always be considered. Whenmore than one auspicious planets combine, then Kakshavriddhi and Kakshahrasa rules arenot applicable, since this is like a congregation. While considering fractional aspects, aplanets exaltation and debilitation needs to be considered. In the like manner Vriddhi andHrasa needs to be considered in fractional proportions.Auspicious Inauspicious Planets If auspiciousness or inauspiciousness of planets needs to be addressed, first calculatetheir strengths. Amongst auspicious planets strong Moon, Venus and Jupiter come ahead of all others.Amongst inauspicious planets Mars, Saturn and Rahu are leaders.In this case Sun and Ketu are considered as Shubh or auspicious planets.If Mercury joins them, it is considered strong. Likewise Jupiter is strong in the first 12 and Moon is considered strong in Venusiansigns.12 SA Translators: What does Jupiter strong in the first mean? Image file no 14 second line - the author himself does notclarify, so I have left the translation as it is. Hint - maybe he is referring to Aries or Martian signs??628

When considering results it is important to consider planetary positions and signs in a chart. If planets are in the ascendant, they are considered strong, likewise if planets exist intrikona (trines) or 5, 9 positions, they are strong too, because they give fruits or resultsduring their time. If auspicious planets are in Kendra (angles - 1, 4, 7, 10 houses), they are less strongerthan planets in ascendant. In Kalpalataa both auspicious and inauspicious planets get equalstrength (while calculating their strength).Exaltation and debilitation of planets need to be understood as mentioned in Brihatjataka(another treatise) and other treatises. Some exceptions are mentioned here – Mars when conjoined with Sun in asign/house, Sun is considered exalted.When Sun conjoins Venus, it is considered as debilitated.Moon is considered exalted if Venus conjoins with Moon.Mars 13 is exalted if it conjoins Saturn.If Moon joins such a combination 14 , it is considered as debilitated.Mercury is considered as debilitated if it conjoins Jupiter. Mercury is exalted if it conjoins Rahu, but it will be wise if exaltation and debilitationof Mercury is calculated based on other treatises. 15 So, Mercury becomes gentle or auspicious if it is not conjoined with any other planet.Same rule maybe applied to Jupiter, Venus and other planets. Exaltation and debilitation isparticularly helpful when calculating quantum of Kingly status (Raj Yoga) or Longevity(Aayu). The sutras (verses) also take exaltation and debilitation of planets intoconsideration in judging whether the chart belongs to other species except humans (Viyoni)or animal births (Pashuyoni).Some SecretsWe will now be looking into the secrets revealed by the Sutras. If Moon is in the Chatushpada (four legged sign) drekkana (D3 division) and in theChatushpada Navamsha (four legged navamsa of 9 th divisional chart), a four legged creatureis said to be born. If a favorable yoga exists, during its time the person may become an ableking or a leader (apparently here the reference is for a person born with more than one pairof legs).13 Publisher: Mars with Saturn in some charts we have seen it give results of exaltation14 Which combination is not clear15 Publisher: author is definitely speaking about exaltation of mercury, but he does not mention names of othertreatises or methods of calculating mercury's exaltation629

If this combination receives aspect of Ketu, the person will be a leader amongst beastsor those involved in animal husbandry or cattle herdsmen.If instead of Ketu, Rahu aspects such a Moon, cattle/herdsmen are destroyed. If Moon is weak and receives aspect of Mars, cattle maybe stolen or kidnapped byenemies. In the same case if Moon is strong and receives the aspect of inauspicious Mercurycattle is drowned in a watery place. These results are based on Krishniya Shastra and theexample given relates to Moon in Chatushpada lagna or ascendant. In horary charts these rulescan be easily adopted. If the ascendant in drekanna is in a Chatushpada sign and receives aspect of Saturnand Mercury, the chart belongs to Viyoni or any other creature except humans. If the 11 th sign from ascendant in drekanna receives the aspect of a weak moon, againViyoni birth or non-human birth can be predicted. By another school of thought the rule isabout drekanna ascendant and not applicable from Navamsa lagna. There are different types of Navamsa and Drekanna, but Drekanna finds more weightand importance in this shastra. Some school of thought consider Hora Lagna and Ghati lagna asmore important, some use Bhava Lagna. But in Kalpalataa a different method where a sign where Karaka is located isconsidered as the Lagna or as ascendant and then other house and planets are used to divineresults for a native. Results divined with whatever is being described or the techniques beingdiscussed must be conveyed to a native secretly.Jaimini Sutras have key sutras like for example, “Atha Iti” – this happens to be the key sutraand finds mention in first, second, third and the fourth chapter. These are the “keys” tounlock other sutras. Sutra’s described in the first chapter; first stanza will be used elsewheretoo. A thorough study of Bhava must be done with the help of earlier shastra (here thereference to a particular shastra is not clear). In Kalpalataa the following is considered – fifth bhava (house) from the ascendant istaken as the “Pita” or father, ninth 16 bhava is taken as the “Putra” or the progeny. The restare calculated accordingly. In female horoscope seventh bhava from ascendant is taken as the “SoubhagyaSthana” or the longevity of married life, eight bhava is then taken as the “Pati” bhava or thespouse. The twelfth bhava is given different significance from each of Ascendant, Karaka,Drekanna and Navamsa. In a Drekanna chart the sign where lord of the ascendant (from the natal or rasi chart)occupies is known as the Drekanna lagna or ascendant. Similar rule is applicable to“Dhanadhish” or the lord of the second bhava. Take the lord of the second bhava, find its16 Publisher: If we remember well it was only in the Late S K Krar commentary that he has mentioned 9H for children,nowhere else one finds it. Note the new concept of 5H for father.630

location in the drekanna chart, the sign so occupied with be known as the “Dhanabhava” or the house of finances in Drekanna chart. Similar rule applies to other bhava’s.ArudhasNow the author is describing Arudhas. Arudha has the same significance as thehouse/planet for which it is calculated. Like a natal chart, planetary positions and resultsmust be calculated and judged from Arudhas. A daivagya must take into considerationvarious bhava’s and then divine results using Arudhas and dasa systems included. Someimportant rules of using Arudha are now described. If Arudha Lagna (arudha of the first house) is in a male sign (signs have gender mainly male,feminine and neutral) the calculation is in a forward order 17 . If Arudha lagna is in a feminine sign the calculation is in the reverse order. First identify theascendant, locate its position in the navamsa chart, then calculate the arudha, similarly calculatearudha for other houses. A daivagya must then judge other Arudhas so obtained with respectto Arudha Lagna. For example, if Moon and Venus is in the second from Arudha Lagna, the native willbe very rich. If the fourth house from Arudha Lagna is a “Chara Rasi” or a movable sign, results are notfavorable for the fourth house. If the fourth from Arudha Lagna belongs to a fixed sign, results are of medium nature,but if the fourth sign belongs to a dual sign “Dviswabhav rasi” results are obtained in full. Even if the horoscope does not indicate any good yoga’s, the native will receive fruits as judgedfrom the arudha. If planets in arudha are not exalted, but instead inauspicious or evil planets haveaspect on such arudha, the native will be a pauper. If an exalted planet or an auspicious planet is located at an arudha or the arudhareceives aspects from exalted planets or auspicious planets, the native may have Raj Yoga. A similar rule must be applied to the ascendant too. Always look at the fourth and fifthhouses from ascendant or its arudha, if these house are not conducive (has evil planets or receivesaspect from evil planets), even Raj Yoga otherwise observed may be nullified or of lesservalue.Acharya Ji did not wish to write a voluminous treatise; likewise father did not mention marginal issues.With the blessings of my Guru Ji, I (here “I” refers to the original writer of Kalpalataa and notVenkatacharya or Translators) have collected information from various other treatises and mentionedthem here for reference to students and experts alike.End of First Bouquet!!17 Publisher: In this editorial we had mentioned 5 types of arudha calculation in vogue in different parts of India as perour limited knowledge and in one type there are two opinions thereby adding the numbers.631

Tatkalin Bhrigu Prashna – Part 1ByBhagwan Shri Bhrigu RishiRe-Translated: Rohit Sharma, IndiaA ‘Mission Saptarishis’ InitiativeSage Bhrighu’s BlessingsWith folded hands and respect I would like to present here the very ancient andhidden prediction technique from Sage Bhrigu. This teaching was presented inHindi language by Pandit Hardev Sahaye of Meerut (India) for the first timefor the welfare of the society. Someone posted this manuscript from the OsmaniaUniversity Library Call No. H 133.5 Ascension No. H4265, we thank the unknown personwho posted this. I take the privilege to re-transcribe the same knowledge in English andpresent it to the world. There could have been a vision where in Sage Bhrigu saw that itwould be difficult in the future for the souls to get learned in the path of jyotish which isvast like the ocean that brought this simple form of prediction from the great seer.In this great gift to the mankind Sage Bhrigu created a simple chart of numbers from 1to 160 with 10 numbers in a row. The seeker has to just follow some simple steps and keephis finger on any one number in the table to get the prediction and remedies to his problemsafter a small calculation. The answers are broad general ones but the remedies are the keypart of this form of Horary Astrology. In the analysis section either one or all the pointswritten could be meaningful for you. In my experience with this work which I have usedaggressively I would like to say that I have had immense success via it and the remediesseem to work if done with faith. My clients have come back to me within a week many atimes giving either positive feedback and success over it or some movement in the matter.Tatkalin if loosely translated would mean ‘Present’ so westerners can refer to it as ‘PresentBhrighu Horary System’. This is like a form of methods that is famous in India called‘Prashnaavali’ of which there are many types of Prashnaavali in India in the name of famoussaints and Saptarishis Astrology would in the future bring out many of the famousPrashnavalis especially of saints from Maharashtra state of India, that have been passed onfrom generations and work very accurately at times. These Prashnavalis have been resorted to byvillage astrologers for centuries and closely guarded though our scientific minded astrologers might650

term it as too broad a tool, yet when you use this system for a long time you would realize that thesystem works too well than our normal astrology, the secret is to use it often and seek the blessings ofthe sage to guide your clients via the Prashnaavali. One must note that there are various types ofBhrighu Prashnaavali and this is just one of them, which is more of a broad prediction yet the remediesare powerful. In other Prashnavalis of saints of Maharashtra which is in the possession of SaptarishisAstrology the readings are far more detailed though only one liners and since few years it has beentested by SA. Out of the 160 Analysis only 30 are being presented here and this would be aseries. I seek pardon from Sage Bhrigu if I have committed any mistake & also from thereaders.Important Information:1. The seeker in search of his answers through this book would get the right path withdivine blessings. The seeker needs to pay some amount towards each of the questionasked. You might have bought many books on astrology subject but book of this kind is agem in the crown.2. Irrespective of the gender of the seeker the most vital thing to keep in mind is that theseeker should be of good character and clear heart. He should first worship the book andbring some fruits, flowers and donation as a token of respect. Empty handed seekerslooking for divine answers is not a good sign.3. As per the philosophical aspect a person should never go empty handed to a priest, doctoror to his daughter’s in-laws, this is a bad sign and may attract evil omens.4. The questions that are most important are to be considered and placed forward only, astesting of the book may attract bad luck.Steps To Ask the Question:1. The seeker should sit facing East.2. The seeker should remember sage Bhrigu in his mind.3. Seeker should visualize his question in his mind.4. After a proper visualization he should remember Lord Vishnu.5. After an internal prayer to the Lord he should keep his finger on any one of thenumbers in the chart.Steps To Get The Answer:1. Count the number of alphabets in the Name of the Seeker.2. Count the number of alphabets of Sage ‘Bhrigu’.3. Add the above two numbers to the figure from the table.4. If the count exceeds 160 then that number has to be subtracted from 160 to get theactual number.5. Once the actual number is found, check the questions on that Analysis Part, if thequestion matches then read out the prediction and the solution from the sameAnalysis.6. If the question is not there on that page then redo the calculation part to get the exactnumber.Note: This technique would not work if there is any doubt or the seeker wants to test thetechnique.651

Calculation & Example:1) Numeric value for BHRIGU when Sanskrit is used is 4 or 6 in English letters counting.2) If 4 do not get to the proper Analysis for each number presented below you can take it as6 (English) this has been my experience, though writing a Hindi or Sanskrit word inEnglish like the name of Sage Bhrigu can be done in many ways a) Bhrigu or b) Bhrighuand thus you can get 6 or 7 respectively. I have used Bhrigu and as there are 6 letters tothat name I use 6. Readers can form their own method and share their experiences.Eventually it is my belief that whatever number you use for Bhrighu say 4 or 6 or 7, theenergy will on its own direct the client to choose a number more or less from the TableGiven below and thus the addition will come out correct only as all such Prashnavalis areself correcting systems as per some scholars.3) Regarding the name of the seeker, only the first name is to be considered and thealphabets should be counted in the same language (English or Hindi) that is used to seeBHRIGU.4) Let us take an example to see how the calculation is done.a) Rohit Sharma is asking question so take Rohit which has 5 letters = 5b) Add to it the name of Sage Bhrigu which has 6 letters = 6c) Now meditate on the question and say you select number 16 from the Horary Table(Prashna Chakra) given below =16d) Now add step a, b and c =5 +6 +16 = 27e) Now go to Analysis No 27 and read it, that’s it.Prashna Chakra1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2021 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 3031 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 4041 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 5051 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 6061 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 7071 72 73 74 75 76 77 78 79 8081 82 83 84 85 86 87 88 89 9091 92 93 94 95 96 97 98 99 100101 102 103 104 105 106 107 108 109 110111 112 113 114 115 116 117 118 119 120121 122 123 124 125 126 127 128 129 130131 132 133 134 135 136 137 138 139 140141 142 143 144 145 146 147 148 149 150151 152 153 154 155 156 157 158 159 160652

Even the LateOriginal Translator was a north Indian man so one cannot understand whether it is the Sage who issaying this or it’s the translator. Copy Editor Shastry adds ‘Even though it is the south Indian dishSambhar, there is another one used for dana purposes. That is butter milk with a high content of water…This particular dana is considered very auspicious during summer seasons esp. when everybody will bethirsty.’668

Whoever has the ascendant in this star, ifJupiter is with it or in trine aspect to it, will be a great, powerful leader, a friend of kings,holding important land. He will die at the appointed time.If, when Mars is in the seventh house, Saturn is either on the ascendant or the MC, or if thefull Moon is moving toward Mars or the waning Moon to Saturn, this indicates deadlycatastrophes. The native will encounter accusations, chains, prisons, condemnations oncapital charges. Or he is forced to meet wild beasts, is thrown over a precipice, or severelywounded in domestic plots, or killed by bandits. Or he is drowned in a shipwreck. All theseare decided by the signs. For if Mars is in an earth sign the native is forced to meet wildbeasts; in fixed signs he is crushed by ruins or thrown over a precipice; in watery signs heperishes in a boat; in human signs he is killed by a sword.Mars in the eighth house by day either denies inheritance or strips it away in proscription. Ifhe has the Sun and Moon in opposition he indicates blindness. Alone in this house hepredicts poverty, difficulties, fevers, riots, revolutions, dangers.Those who have Mars in the eighth house by night will be intelligent, shrewd, and involvedin dangers. They will be engaged in well-known public activities but suffer violent death, ora sudden one, such as happens to apoplectics. But if Jupiter is in aspect to Mars in this houseor is together with him, these evils are to a large extent lessened.Mars in the ninth house will be favorable in regard to life and fame. And if Jupiter is on theascendant he makes the natives happy and has them win whatever they seek. If Mars is inthe ninth house by night and Jupiter is on the ascendant, this indicates great power ofadministration and right of the sword, and it makes leaders of armies. Often, however, thuslocated he indicates difficult journeys.- From Ancient Astrology By Firmicus Maternus, 4 th Century Astrologer675

Sage Bhrighu’s BlessingsBhrighu Saral Paddathi – 8ByVenkat Ramana – Saptarishis Astrology Re-Search TeamTechnique & Guide: Saptarishis AstrologyReadership Level: Basic To AdvancedIn pursuit of the Vision of the Saptarishis Astrology to remove the rarest andhidden techniques in the Science of Astrology and make Astrologyunderstandable to one and all, a series of mind boggling BSP techniques are beingexplained in these columns, which are simple to use and easy to adapt. One must bear inmind that no technique works 100 % & Saptarishis Astrology does not have enoughexperience in the testing of these methods but they are being revealed here so that all of uscan collectively test it and see if it works or not on a consistent manner and if not then findout the riders in that method.Always the nodes (Rahu/Ketu) are mysterious and it is not very easy to predict theirresults in a nativity. Of course volumes have been written on nodes by various scholars inastrology, but still all of us find predicting with nodes is very difficult due to theirunpredictable nature. There are so many parameters to be considered for predicting behaviorof nodes (as they are shadowy planets),a) Nodes act as their dispositorsb) Nodes act as per the planet conjoined with themc) Nodes act as per the planet aspecting them and so on.[One is reminded of the Mythological story about the Rahu/Ketu. There was a demonnamed ‘Swarabhanu’ who participated in Churning of Milky Ocean for Nectar. This demonwas intelligent and when all his fellows demons were allured and diverted by the LordVishnu in the guise of Mohini, a beautiful lady, (as part of the strategy of gods who did notwant to share Nectar with the demons since they will also become immortal and pose threatto them), sat in the row along with the gods for a share of the Nectar. Without realizing this676

he (Swarabhanu) was also served with Nectar and it was noticed by the Sun and Moon whointurn complained to Lord Vishnu. By this time Swarabhanu had put the Nectar in hismouth and lord Vishnu with his weapon (Vishnu charka) cuts and separates the head fromhis body. But with the effect of Nectar Swarabhanu became immortal and lived for ever.The head became Rahu, who always looks down to his body and tail became the Ketu, whoalways looks up to his head. Therefore, Rahu always signifies material and mundane things as helooks down wards and Ketu looks up and signifies spiritual things. Further, as the Sun and Moonwere instrumental for the separation of Swarabhanu (Rahu-Ketu) into two parts they eclipsethem]Stories apart, let us come back to the BSP techniques mentioned here under.Sage Bhrighu’s Easy Methodology - Bhrighu Saral PaddathiThe rules pertaining to the Nodes (Rahu and Ketu)BSP 8: Rahu implements itself in the 6 th from itself in the 38 th year of a native.There are a few sub-rules in how to use Rahu more effectively which are avoided inthis piece for brevity’s sake but when taken gives a more complete picture.Chart No: 1. French Actor Dies at 38October 22, 2008PARIS (Rush PR news)10/22/08-French film star Gerard Depardieu’s son Guillaume, a 37year-old actor who rebelled against his father and led an angst-ridden, tumultuous life, has677

died of pneumonia, his father’s agency stated. He served his first prison sentence at the ageof 17 and returned to jail when he was 22 for heroin trafficking. Source:http://www.zimbio.com/Julie+Depardieu/articles/2/Son+French+actor+Depardieu+dies+37Rahu is in the 8 th of death, it will implement itself in the 6 th from it which is the 1H of bodyand thus Rahu brought death on the native. Rahu also shows the scandals he was associatedwith and hence it brought the scandals alive when he died.Let us analyze the same applying kakshya method which is used for the BSP Mars 10 thhouse rule published in the previous issue Vol 6 May 2009 of Saptarishis Astrology & onecan observe that the Kakshya method when coupled with the BSP gives more accurate hintfor us to predict.(Kakshya-Slot) Degrees Lord of Kakshya1. 0 ° 00" to 3 ° 45 " Saturn [Slowest Planet]2. 3 ° 45 " to 7 ° 30 " Jupiter3. 7 ° 30 " to 11° 15" Mars4. 11° 15"to 15 °00" Sun5. 15 °00" to 18° 45 " Venus6. 18° 45 "to 22 ° 30 " Mercury7. 22 °30 " to 26 ° 15 " Moon [Fastest Planet]8 26 ° 15 "to 30°00" AscendantImportant: Please note that the kakshya of Rahu is decided by deducting its longitudewithout considering the signs from 30 degree as it is retrograde.Kakshya: Rahu is in the Kakshya of Saturn, who is the 8 th lord of death posited in the 11 thhouse of hara along with lagna lord (body).Chart No. 2: Own HouseA4A4The above native in his 38 th year entered own house on Aug 1986. Her 38 th year is fromDec 85- Dec 86. Let us see how Rahu implements itself in 38 th year in this chart. Rahu is678

posited in the 2 nd house from Ascendant (Pisces). It implements in 6 th house from itselfwhich is the 7 th house of the chart. If we consider bhavath bhava 7 th house is 4 th from 4 thhouse. In this chart 7 th house is also 4 th from AL. Most importantly Rahu is with A4 (arudhaof the 4H). Therefore, the native entered into the newly constructed house.Kakshya: Rahu is in the Kakshya of mercury who is the 4 th and 7 th lord for this ascendantposited in the 9 th house. Mercury is also the lord of AL and significator for 4 th house in thischart. Hence Rahu when implemented itself in the 6 th from itself in the 38 th year gave himnew house.Divisional: D-4In 4 th divisional (D-4), Rahu is in the 8 th house, it will implement itself in the 6 th from itwhich is the lagna (Sg), the lagna lord is Jupiter placed in the 4 th house of house and hebought a house.Chart No. 3: Purchase of ApartmentThis is a chart of a female native. She purchased a flat during 2 nd half of 1994 her 38 th yearwhich is from Mar 94-Mar 95. Rahu is in the 12 th house from Scorpio ascendant. In this chartRahu implements in the 5 th house from lagna as per BSP-8. 5 th house is the 2 nd from 4 thhouse. 2 nd house from any house is the sustenance or gain of that house. Hence it indicatedgain for the native as self acquired property.Kakshya: Rahu is in the kakshya of Saturn. Saturn is the 3 rd and 4 th lord in this nativity andposited in the ascendant. Rahu is in the exaltation sign of Saturn and gives the result ofSaturn.679

Divisional: D-4In D-4, Rahu is in the 12H so it will implement itself in the 6 th from it which is the 5H of D4signifying gain of house.680

Chart No. 3: Heart AttackA4A4This native during his 38 th year suffered from heart attack. Rahu is posited in the 2 ndhouse from the Capricorn ascendant. In 38 th year it has to implement in the 6 th from 2 ndhouse which is 7 th house from ascendant. Both 2 nd and 7 th houses are maraca houses. 7 thhouse in this chart is 4 th from AL also 4 th from Ascendant lord indicating heart. Rahu is alsoconjoined with the lord of 8 th house also. Rahu is with Sun which signifies heart and alsowith A4. However, the native recovered from the ailment because of other combinations inthe chart.Kakshya: Rahu is in the kakshya of Mars who is the lord of 4 th and 11 th house fromascendant located in 3 rd house of longevity & in the 12 th of loss to 4H of heart. Mars is thelord of AL and placed in 12 th from it. Mars can cause sudden events like heart attack being 4 thlord as well as Badaka lord.Divisional: D-6681

In the health divisional chart (D-6), you can see that Rahu is in the 10H implementing itselfin the 3H of loss (12 th from 4H) of hearts health resulting in heart attack.Chart no. 4A4A4This native purchased a new house at a very competitive rate in his native place in the38 th year. However, he never stayed in his own house as he is always away from native placedue to his profession. He rented the house since beginning and is earning a good amount asrent. In this case Rahu implements itself in the 11 th house of gains from ascendant as he isplaced in the 6 th house.Kakshya: Rahu is in the kakshya of Venus who is the lord of 2 nd and 7 th from ascendant andlord of A~4 placed in the 5 th house from ascendant and 11 th (gain) from A~4. As Rahuimplements in the house of gain (11 th ) and being in the kakshya of Venus the purchase ofproperty is for the gain of the native through handsome rental income.Divisional: D-4Rahu is placed in the 6H of D-4, it will implement itself in the 11 th house which is 6 th fromits location in the 38 th year, he bought a house in the 38 th year. In D-4, Rahu is with A4which again shows gain of & from property in the 38 th year of the native which is how ithappened.682

A4A4Chart No. 5A4A4The native purchased a flat in his 38 th year by taking heavy loans. Rahu is posited inthe 3 rd house from Capricorn ascendant. In 38 th year it implements itself in the 6 th from itselfwhich is the 8 th house from ascendant where Jupiter the 12 th lord and dispositor of Rahu isplaced. Eighth house is the 4 th house from AL & flavor of 8 th house has to come. Thisjustifies the native purchasing flat by incurring heavy expenditure.683

Kakshya: Rahu is in the Kakshya of Saturn the ascendant lord and the lord of A~4.Saturn being the lord of A~4 and has given purchase of flat by the native appears to bejustified.Divisional: D-4A4A4In the concerned divisional chart, one can see that Rahu is in the 3H so it will implementitself in the 38 th year in the 8H of sudden movements in life where A4 is placed, thus he gota house in the 38 th year.Conclusion: The above technique is giving us a clue how the events from nodes can be timed& predicted. What I found while analyzing the charts is Jaimini Arudhas are helping usbetter in pronouncing the results. However, this technique may have to be further tested onvarious charts and fine tuned by the scholars, most importantly upon practice on 100-200charts gives us the snap shot predictive ability, before those 200 charts it is only fixology.Venkat is a law graduate and presently pursuing postgraduation in management.

Sage Bhrighu’s BlessingsBhrighu Saral Paddathi – 9ByVenkat Ramana – Saptarishis Astrology Re-Search TeamTechnique & Guide: Saptarishis AstrologyReadership Level: Basic To AdvancedIn continuation of the BSP-8 wherein it was demonstrated about Rahu’ 38 th yearprinciple let us now see the Ketu principle explained here. There are many techniquesto this only one is explained here.Sage Bhrighu’s Easy Methodology - Bhrighu Saral PaddathiBSP- 9: Ketu implements itself in the 12 th from itself in the 24 th year of a native’s life.The charts are analyzed first by the normal method and also kakshya method which isused for the BSP Mars 10 th house rule published in the previous issue Vol 6 May 2009 ofSaptarishis Astrology & one can observe that the Kakshya method when coupled with theBSP gives more accurate hint for us to predict.(Kakshya-Slot) DegreesLord of Kakshya1. 0 ° 00" to 3 ° 45 " Saturn [Slowest Planet]2. 3 ° 45 " to 7 ° 30 " Jupiter3. 7 ° 30 " to 11° 15" Mars685

As per our rule Ketu implements itself in the 12 th from itselfin the 24 th year. In the chart ketu is posited in the 3 rd house from the ascendant. In the 24 thyear the native got married. Ketu being in the 3 rd house will implement itself in the 12 th from3 rd house which is 2 nd from ascendant. Second house is the house of family and addition tofamily happened. Also Ketu is considered as a karaka for marriage. Therefore, the native gotmarried.Kakshya: Ketu is in the kakshya of Mercury (18° 45 "to 22 ° 30 ") the 2 nd lord of family and11 th lord of marriage located in the 11 th house of marriage as per BPHS. Therefore Ketu’sinfluence over the 2 nd house in the 24 th year gave marriage to the native.Chart No. 2 MarriageThis is yet another case the native got married in the 24 th year. The native is Scorpioascendant and her Ketu is in the 6 th house Aries. Here Ketu influences the 12 th from itselfwhich is the 5 th house of Pisces. Jupiter the 2 nd lord of family life and 5 th lord of gain of686

marriage is posited in the 5 th house of gain of marriage. Ketu’s influence on the 5 th house andJupiter the lord of family and love has given marriage to the native in the 24 th year.Kakshya: Ketu is in the kakshya of Jupiter (3 ° 45 " to 7 ° 30 "). Therefore, it is explicit thatthe native got married during the 24 th year which is justified by the kakshya lord Jupiterbeing the 2 nd and 5 th lord for the Scorpio ascendant native.Chart No. 3 First jobIn this chart ketu is in the 4 th house Pisces from the Sagittarius ascendant. In the 24 th yearthe native got her first job. From Pisces Ketu implements itself in the 12 th from itself whichis Aquarius the 3 rd house for the native and also the AL (note: AL is resultant lagna forprofession). Third house is the house of growth and self effort and is also the 10 th house(result) from the 6 th house of service. The lord of 3 rd house Saturn in 9H (Bhagya sthana) isaspecting this house. Therefore native got employed in her 24 th year.Kakshya: Ketu is in the kakshya of Ascendant (26 ° 15 "to 30°00"). Ketu being in the kakshyaof ascendant and implementing itself on the AL gave the native job. Ascendant is also takenfor one’s profession per Sarvartha Chintamani687

Chart No. 4 AbroadThe native is of Sagittarius ascendant. Ketu is in the ascendant and implements in the 12 thhouse of long journeys & abroad. Therefore, he went abroad in the 24 th year.Kakshya: Ketu in the kakshya of Venus (15 °00" to 18° 45 ") the 6th and 11th lord and the lordof A~9 posited in the 10 th house of profession. Therefore, the native went abroad inconnection with his profession.A 9A 9Chart No 5 MarriageA 7A 5A 7A 5688

The native is of Scorpio ascendant and ketu is posited in the 8 th house of sex life andimplements itself in the 12 th which is the 7 th house of marriage. Therefore, the native gotmarried in the 24 th year.Kakshya: Ketu is in the kakshya of Mars (7 ° 30 " to 11° 15") who is the lord of 1 st and 6 thhouse in this case and also the lord of A~5 posited with A~7 along with Jupiter the lord of 2 ndand 5 th house of the native.Chart No. 6 MarriageThe native is of Leo ascendant. Ketu is posited in the 4 th house (Sukha sthana) andimplements itself in the 12 th from itself which is the 3 rd house where Saturn the 7 th lord ofmarriage is exalted in the 3 rd house. The native got married in the 24 th year.Kakshya: Ketu is in the kakshya of Saturn (0 ° 00" to 3 ° 45 ") the 7th lord of posited in the 3 rdhouse which is the bhagya of marriage. Ketu being in the kakshya of the 7 th lord andinfluencing the 7 th lord justifies the marriage of the native in his 24 th year.Chart No. 7 Govt. JobIn 24 th year the native got a permanent job in Government of India. In this chart Ketu islocated in the 6 th house from Cancer ascendant the house of service and implements itself in12 th from 6 th the 5 th house of luck (9 th from 9 th ), new job and also the 2 nd house from the ALthe house of income. This house is aspected by the 10 th and the 11 th lords Mars and Venusfrom the 11 th house.

Here SL(Shree lagna), GL (Ghati lagna) and HL (Hora lagna) are also located in the ascendant. Allthese indicated that the native’s status has to improve. Therefore, he got Govt. job. Ofcourse the native had to leave his home town for the job.689

A 2A10A 6 A5A 2A10A 6 A5Conclusion:We could have included 10 more charts where this technique works but there could be somecharts where it does not work if one might not be experienced enough in this method, hencewe request people to test it aggressively and post their feedback or prepare articles on thesame method. One can also observe that at times Ketu is almost giving results of the samehouse where it is posited in the 24 th year.Venkat is a law graduate and presently pursuing postgraduation in management.

Sage Bhrighu’s BlessingsBhrighu Saral Paddathi – 10ByVenkat Ramana – Saptarishis Astrology Re-Search TeamTechnique & Guide: Saptarishis AstrologyDedicated To: Shri P.M.Padia & the Himalayas wherein this technique was gotten.Readership Level: Basic To AdvancedOut of the nine planets we generally consider for delineation of charts Jupiter isconsidered the most benefic planet. Why Jupiter is given such a status of all theplanets? There is one reasonable argument that Jupiter contributes the highestbenefic points (56) in Ashtakavarga system of judging the planetary strength in a nativity.Further, it is also stated that the aspect of Jupiter is most benefic than that of its occupationin a House/Rashi. It is a well known fact that Jupiter has two special aspects 5 th and 9 th inaddition to the general 7 th aspect from its location. But the question that is asked or rathernot asked so far by astrologers is:-a) How exactly will it influence its aspect & fulfill its natal promises. What is thedifference between each of its aspect? Some theories have floated in the past re this.b) Which year (s) exactly will it fulfill its natal promise?For thousands of years of astrological history the question (b) has not been thought of andsubsequently not answered. Before we attempt to make an attempt to answer (b) let us visita small story which depicts the auspiciousness of Jupiter’s aspect. Jupiter (the guru of gods)wanted to get his daughter married and in all fairness approached Venus (the guru ofdemons), despite his professional rivalry with Venus, to get his daughter’s chart examined.691

Venus after examining the chart foretold that his (Jupiter’s) daughter will die of snakebite at the time of her nuptials. This as a father Jupiter could not digest and wished that thisprediction of Venus should go wrong. Jupiter performed the marriage of his daughter andthe nuptials were arranged. Jupiter was anxious and praying that his daughter should be safeand long lived. Though it is unethical he made a small hole to the door of the room wherethe nuptials were arranged and peeped into the room at the time of nuptials. He witnessed asnake entering into the room of bride & bridegroom, spent there some time and wentwithout biting his daughter. Jupiter was so happy that his daughter is safe and went toinform Venus’ about his failed prediction. Then, Venus said that the failure in predictionwas due to the aspect of Jupiter. Such is the benevolence of the Jupiter’s aspect.Stories apart, let us come back to the BSP techniques mentioned here under.Sage Bhrighu’s Easy Methodology - Bhrighu Saral PaddathiBSP-10: Jupiter 9 th aspect rule – 40 th year.a) Jupiter will implement its 9 th aspect in the 9 th house from the place it is located in the40 th year of a native’s life.b) Jupiter will implement itself in the house where he is located in the 40 th year of anative’s life.Let us examine & test the charts given hereunder by applying the above rule.Chart 1:DOB: 23-Aug-1964 TOB: 5.50 a.m. POB: Chinaganjam, India. His Jupiter is in the 10thhouse. He got promotion in the 40th year on 1-April-2004. Jupiter implements 10th house inthe 40 th year the place it is located. Further the 9th aspect of Jupiter would be in the 6thhouse of job, so an event in job area can happen, which is what happened he got promotion.692

Chart 2:DOB: 09-Sep-1963 TOB: 4.00 a.m. POB: Machilipatnam, India. In this chart Jupiter islocated in Pisces the 9th house. This person in the 40 th year i.e. between 09-Sept-2002 to 09-Sept-2003 went in to depression due to the problems in profession. His blood pressure shotup to 160/110. He met with an accident and was bed ridden for some days.If we see 9 th from Jupiter, then it is the 5H which is house of loss of health (12 th from 6th ofhealth) & 8 th house of Sankat (problems) from 10 th of career. The 5H is the house of mindand depression starts with the mind, its lord is Mars in the 12 th from it in the 4H of heart(blood) and Mars is blood, also in the 6th from Moon (flow of blood) hence he could havehad blood pressure problems which starts with non regulation from the heart (4H)Chart 3:693

DOB: 18-July-1968 POB: Amalapuram, India TOB: 16:00 Hrs. This man was workingabroad, lost his job during August 2007 and returned to India. Again in January 2008 he wentabroad on some job and could not retain it for long. Returned to India during July 2008. InJanuary 2009 he once again got a job abroad and he is continuing there. So during the entire40 th year he was having professional disturbance. He has Jupiter in 10 th house Leo. From thishouse Jupiter aspects through the 9 th aspect the 6th house Aries where Saturn and Moon arepresent. Saturn is 4L of home (he returned home) and 3L of short travel (Jan 2008 hetravelled but not long term). So in 40 th year Jupiter ruled the 10 th and 6 th both concerned withprofession predominantly. Further, the lord of the 9 th from Jupiter is Mars and is in the 8thhouse showing the ups and downs as indicated above. Do not ignore this point, the dispositor ofthe aspected house can indicate the end result as previously highlighted in all our articles.Chart 4:DOB: 10-Oct-1968 POB: Secunderabad, India TOB: 03:25 a.m. This man in the 40 th yearsuffered severe infection in his liver and of course is now cured. During April 2008 thisperson was infected and hospitalized for some time. In this case Jupiter is in Leo ascendantand implemented in the ascendant (body). See the beauty here Jupiter indicates Liver inhuman body and Leo also indicates Liver. Therefore the effect was more severe. Jupiter’s 9 thaspect will be on Aries which in Kala Purusha (Natural Zodiac) indicates the health andmain body of individual. Its lord in Leo indicates problems to health (12 th from 6 th sign ofhealth).Chart 5:DOB: 17-May-1954 TOB: 03:05 a.m. POB: Cuddapah, India.

denied due to political issues. He got vexed up with his job and tried abroad (Singapore)for a job. During Sept 1993 he got a chance and left for Singapore. There he could settle as areader in Singapore University. He is a Pisces ascendant person, Jupiter in 4 th house Geminiaspecting his 12 th house of abroad by 9th aspect. He says his non-promotion was a turningpoint for him otherwise he would not have tried for a job abroad. Jupiter aspect on 12 th fromascendant has given him a loss by not getting promoted in the job at the same time itdragged him abroad where he could settle comfortably. Jupiter sitting in the 4H of homeland has give its result in the 40 th year by combining with Ketu (Change-demonstrated inprevious editorials of SA) and made him change his residence from India to Singapore.Chart 6:695

Eighth house indicateswife's health as per some & as per some it will give effect in the 12 th from it as it is retrogradeso here it will give results of the 7 th house of wife – his wife’s health suffered as Jupiterbrought back the chronic disease energy of the 8 th house.

We repeat it here that a technique working on even 100 chartsdoes not make it a dictum. It might not work on your 101 st chart, the reason is as there is a697

Yoga there is a Yoga bhanga too for each yoga, this concept of yoga bhanga is not thought ofby most astrologers. The same way there should be yoga bhanga for all the Bhrighu EasyMethodology techniques which we are not aware of. Certain positions of certain planets toeach planet will create a yoga bhanga, ancient classics give us the hints to this but so farnone have expounded on it and scholars are requested to do so if they have ignored it so far.In time to come we would expound the various other years of the 9 th aspect of Jupiter andalso the various other years of implementation of the aspects of the other planets.Venkat is a law graduate and presently pursuing postgraduation in management.

Sage Bhrighu’s BlessingsBhrighu Saral Paddathi – 11BySaptarishis AstrologyData Assistance: Venkat Ramana, India.Readership Level: Basic To AdvancedSage Bhrighu’s Easy Methodology - Bhrighu Saral PaddathiBSP-11: Jupiter 5 th aspect rule in 32 nd year.a) Jupiter will implement its 5 th aspect in the 5 th house from the place it is located in the 32 ndyear of a native’s life.b) At ‘Times’ it has been observed that this 32 nd year implementation also can happen in thesame house.c) Jupiter’s 5 th aspect has a Special ‘Unlocking’ characteristic & a ‘Purva Puniac Characteristic’(Previous Life Results). This must not be ignored.d) The 3 rd house from this 5 th house (aspect) of Jupiter i.e. 7 th house from Jupiter, will‘Control’ or ‘Influence’ the results of this 5 th aspect. In effect one can say that Jupiter’s 7 thaspect can also be implemented in the 32 nd year.e) Jupiter is karaka for children, prosperity ( Vriddhi) is to be kept in mind & also can bethe worst malefic at times irrespective of lordships (old astrologer’s saying to mentor)Kindly re-read the above & let us test the charts given hereunder by applying the above rule bearing inmind that testing is easy but application of any method can be done only by a Master astrologer after hehas put his head under the sword of 50,000 charts publicly for decades, the rest are only gurus or writers.699

Chart 1:DOB: 29-Aug-1969 POB: Hyderabad TOB: 12:55 p.m. The 32nd year of the native will be from Aug 2000to Aug 2001 & this lady got married during October 2000 in her 32nd year. See the placement of Jupiter itis in the 11H of marriage (BPHS) with Mercury the 11th lord of marriage. Jupiter’s ‘Unlocking’ 5thaspect falls on the 3rd house which is the Bhagya of Marriage and thus the Bhagya of marriage was‘Unlocked & Activated’ enabling the lady to get married at this later age in life. From Moon Asc, this3rd house which is receiving the 5th aspect of Jupiter is the 11H of marriage from Moon Asc. This 11Hreceives the aspect of Venus who is the DK (darakaraka-life partner karaka) in 7 charakaraka schemewhereas in the 8 charakaraka scheme it would be GK (dispute-divorce karaka – significator).Chart 2:DOB: 09-Sept-1963 POB: Machilipatnam TOB: 04:00 a.m. The 32nd year of the male native will be fromSept 1994 to Sept 1995 and he was blessed with child on 8-Oct-1994 in his 32nd year.See placement of Jupiter it is in the 9H of ‘Manifestation of Children’ (arudha of 5H ofchildren), its 5th aspect falls in the Asc whose lord is Moon placed in the 11H of children (BPHS).700

Jupiter in return is aspected by PK-Putra Karaka (Children significator) Mercury from 3H whichis the gain of children house (11th from 5H). Mercury becomes PK (children) in 7 charakaraka schemewhereas in 8 charakaraka scheme he becomes Pik. It is said that children are a result of one’s PurvaPunya (previous life’s deeds) and here you can see how the Purva Puniac 5th aspect has unlocked it forthe native.Chart 3:A 2A 2DOB: 14-Dec-1964 POB: Machilipatnam TOB 04:35 a.m. The 32 nd year of this native will be from Dec1995 to Dec 1996 & he got promotion during June 1996 in his 32 nd year. See placement of Jupiter it is inthe 6H of job/service and thus its 5 th house aspect he will implement in the 32 nd year which will be 5 thfrom 6 th i.e. 10 th house of career & achievements. In the 10H Mars the 6 th lord of job is placed along withA2 (money/status – due to promotion) & Amk (career – both schemes) is placed and thus gave him thepromotion in job in the 32 nd year thereby implementing Jupiter’s unlocking aspect.Chart 4:A6A6701

DOB: 17-July-1964 POB: Kakinada TOB: 06:00am. His 32 nd year will be from July 95 to July 96and he got promotion during May 1996. Jupiter is in the 10H so BSP-11 (b) is also implementing in the32 nd year in 10H and Jupiter’s 5 th aspect is looking at the 2 nd house of status & money where A6 (job).Thus he gained both money and status in his job in the 32 nd year.Chart 5:DOB: 20-Mar-1973 POB: Warangal TOB: 23:36. The 32nd year of the native will be from Mar 2004 toMar 2005. Jupiter is sitting in the 12H and its 32nd year 5th aspect will be on the 4H of home. Jupiter isthe 2nd lord of family life (getting activated) and also the 11th lord of children (BPHS), the native wasblessed with 2nd child during November 2004 the 32nd year of the native. Jupiter is karaka for children& its aspect in 4H of home, stated that ‘Child will come in home’ or it can be interpretated that Jupiter’sincreasing aspect in 4H of home life, thus ‘ghar mein vriddhi huin’ (increase in family) which is whathappened. 1st child is 5H, 2nd child is 3rd from 5th which is the 7H and the lord of it is Sun (PK too) inconjunction with an exalted Venus, thus possibility of female child is more and the 2nd child was afemale child.Chart 6:702

DOB: 24-July-1951 POB: Amalapuram TOB: 04:35 a.m. The 32 nd year of the native will be fromJuly 82 to July 83 and during this period he was blessed with a son on October 1982. Jupiter’s is sitting inthe 10H of career and has not much to do with children (unless you take it 2 nd from 9 th ), but it’s 5 thunlocking, increasing and Poorva Punya aspect (children) falls in the 2 nd house of family where Sun thePK (children karaka) is placed. The dispositor of this PK- sun is placed along with Jupiter therebyinstigating it to give results of children. From Moon Asc this 5 th aspect of Jupiter falls again in the 5H ofchildren from Moon, thus all roads point to one thing which is something to do with children and that iswhat happened, he was blessed with a male child (Sun is male planet- but not always).Chart 7:DOB: 16-Mar-1957 POB: Amalapuram TOB: 00:21. The 32 nd year of this female native will be Mar 88 toMar 89 & in this 32 nd year when Jupiter implements its 5 th aspect she was blessed with son in August1988. It is requested of readers to erect this chart in their software and play with arudha calculationoptions and 7-8 charakaraka options. Unfortunately only 2 methods of arudha calculation are known sofar to the jyotish world but there are 3 more. This chart can be looked at from many angles, if onefollows BPHS Jupiter is sitting in the 11H of children with A9 (children for females), she was blessedwith child using BSP-11 (b) method. Jupiter’s 5 th aspect of Purva Punya (esp children) and vriddhi(increase) is falling on 3H which is the gain house of children (11 th from 5 th ). Previously known Parasarimethods of Jupiter being the 2 nd lord of family and 5 th lord of children being aspected by Jupiter’s 7 thaspect on 5 th house can be used profitably and timing gotten from BSP-11 (d) method. In Jaimini 7charakaraka scheme Jupiter is GK (fight-disease significator) and with 8 charakaraka method Jupiter isPutrakaraka (children significator), so should one abolish 7 charakaraka method? whereas one cannotignore that in this article in previous examples in most cases 7 charakaraka method has been successful.In D7 Jupiter is placed in the 5H of children giving child in 32 nd year – BSP-11 (b), aspecting with5 th aspect on the 9H of children (especially for women) giving child – BSP-11 (a).So far we have taken only good cases of Jupiter’s 5 th aspect and what about BSP-11 (e) wherein we saidthat when Jupiter becomes malefic it becomes the worst malefic, the most controversial statementconsidering that lordships might not count.Chart 8:703

The lady of above chart once challenged that astrology does not work and showed her chart to a BhrighuSaral Paddathi astrologer amateur, he predicted that as Jupiter’s 5 th aspect is implementing on the 8H ofoccult, where Saturn is 4L of chastity, she must have had a break in relationship in the 32 nd year exactly,lady confirmed this and was stunned as to how fast this could be predicted, then she was predicted thatin that year she must have had a kind of psychic attack/black magic in regards to this or a relationshipwherein the lady confirmed through a series of stories of how she felt its exactly due to some kind ofblack magic this could have happened and infact in that period she got a dream in which her hair(Saturn) was being cut and some magic ritual performed by some tantrik in that dream. What is notshown here in the above chart is Saturn is dispositor of 12L of dreams too.

Let us examine the charts given here under by applying the kakshyarule.(Kakshya-Slot) DegreesLord of Kakshya1. 0 ° 00" to 3 ° 45 " Saturn [Slowest Planet]2. 3 ° 45 " to 7 ° 30 " Jupiter3. 7 ° 30 " to 11° 15" Mars4. 11° 15"to 15 °00" Sun5. 15 °00" to 18° 45 " Venus705

Saturnis also the lord of 10 th house from AL. As Jupiter will give the result of its kakshya lord thenative’s 6 th of job and 10 th house of career from ascendant and also 10 th house from AL areactivated and thus the native received promotion. Thus Jupiter’s 9 th aspect of 40 th year to the6h of job gave result as promotion as the dispositor of 6H is in the 7H of position.Chart 2DOB: 09-SEP-1963 TOB: 4.00 A.M POB: Machilipatnam, India. In this chart Jupiter islocated in Pisces the 9th house. This person in the 40 th year (between 09-09-2002 to 09-09-2003) went in to depression due to the problems in profession. His blood pressure shot up to160/110. He met with an accident and was bed ridden for some days.Jupiter is in the kakshya of Moon the ascendant lord in this case. Moon thoughposited in his exaltation sign Taurus; this is badhaka sign for Cancer ascendant. Further, 11 thhouse from ascendant is malefic especially for the purpose of health matters. Moon isaspected by 5L of mind Mars (8 th aspect) who is placed in his enemy sign Libra. Moon also706

indicates blood in human body 1 & Mars is the significator of accidents. Mars is placed insixth house of accidents & health issues from Moon the kakshya lord. Thus Jupiter’s 9 thhouse aspect in the 40 th year to the 5H resulted in health issue as it is in the 6 th from kakshyalord Moon. Note that this 5L is in the 4H of home and he was bed ridden was some days,Mars did its job.Chart 3DOB: 18-07-1968 POB: Amalapuram, India TOB: 16:00 HRS. This man was working abroad,lost his job during August 2007 and returned to India. Again in January 2008 he went abroadon some job and could not retain it for long, then returned to India during July 2008. InJanuary 2009 he once again got a job abroad and he is continuing there. So during the entire40th year he was having professional disturbance. Jupiter in 10th house Leo.In this case Jupiter is in the kakshya of Sun who is the 10 th house lord posited in the9 th (12 th from 10 th ) house of long journeys, conjoined with the 12 th lord of losses Venus.Therefore, the native experienced losses and disturbances in his professional life1 SA Publisher: Some take Moon as blood, some take Mars. Some take Mars as blood and Moon for flow of blood. It must benoted here that in the said chart both Moon and Mars are connected via Mars aspect & Moon Mars combination though aDhana Yoga Combination but also gives blood pressure problems.707

during his 40 th year, as Jupiter’s 9 th aspect in the 40 th year fell on the 6H of job where Saturn3L of changes and travel is sitting which is in the 10 th from Kakshya Lord Sun.Chart 4DOB: 10-10-1968 POB: Secunderabad, India TOB: 03:25 A.M. This man in the 40 th yearsuffered severe infection in his liver and is now cured. During April 2008 this person wasinfected and hospitalized for some time.In this case Jupiter is in the kakshya of Ascendant. Ascendant lord Sun is placed inthe 2 nd house conjoined with Ketu (malefic). Ascendant contains Mars (in medical astrologyfunctional nature of planets is not considered) and 8 th lord Jupiter 2 . Ascendant also containsMandi and Gulika. All these factors indicate the trouble in the Leo region that is liver.Further ascendant degree is 13.31 (2 nd drekkana) indicating the second part of the body fromneck region to abdomen and also first 5 degrees of a drekkana indicates internal body partsand second 5 degrees of drekkana indicate external parts of the body.Thus Jupiter’s 9 th aspect on the 9H is falling in the 40 th year in the sign of Aries(health in natural zodiac) and its lord Mars is placed in the Asc who is the kakshya lordhence there was health issues in the 40 th year.Chart 5DOB: 17-05-1954 TOB: 03:05 A.M POB: Cuddapah, India. This person is an IITian andcompleted his research in IIT Kharagpur. His 40 th year would be from 05/1993 to 05/1994. Hewas working as a lecturer in REC Calicut. During the 40 th year his promotion was denieddue to political issues. He got vexed up with his job and tried abroad (Singapore) for a job.2 SA Publisher: Normally Jupiter is also taken as karaka for Liver by many & Jupiter being in the kakshya of Asc(body/health), he had health problems regarding the liver especially so since Jupiter is the 8L of chronic diseases. What isrequested of readers is to aggressively use this Kakshya technique as taught by Venkat Ramana and then it would give thereaders more confidence in its application. Remember to commit the Kakshya Table to memory.708

During 09/1993 he got a chance and left for Singapore. There he could settle as a reader inSingapore University.He is a Pisces ascendant person, Jupiter is in its own kakshya. Jupiter is the 1 st and 10 thlord posited in the 4 th house and AL. 10 th house is occupied by Rahu and Mars. Due to thepresence of Rahu the native was clouded for some time with politics (rahu) happening in hiscareer (Rahu in 10H) and Jupiter implementing its 9 th aspect in the 40 th year in the 12 th fromascendant took him to abroad for betterment of his profession as 12H is abroad and Jupiter is10L of profession.Thus Jupiter’s 9 th aspect in the 40 th year happened to the 12H of disappointments andits lord Saturn is in the 8H of transformation and transformation is what happened in hislife. Saturn is with the planet of travel Moon so he travelled to Singapore and since Saturn isin the 5H from Kakshya lord Jupiter it gave new opportunity as 5H is the house of newopportunity.Chart 6DOB: 14-12-1964 POB: 04:35 A.M POB: Machilipatnam, India. He is a Scorpio ascendantperson Jupiter in 6th house Aries. In 40th year (feb-2004) he purchased a flat by taking loanand entered new house. Jupiter aspects 2 nd house of gain of property (11 th from 4H ofproperty) being in 6th house of loan.709

Jupiter is in the kakshya of Moon the natural 4H of property of the natural zodiac &also 6L of loans from 4H of property sitting in the 5H which is the house of gain of propertybeing 2 nd from 4H, thus in the 40 th year he had gain of property.Chart 7DOB: 20-03-1968 POB: Ponnur TOB: 04:14 A.M. He is Capricorn ascendant. Jupiter in 8thhouse Leo. In 40th year the native experienced lot of financial problems and his wifesuffered slip disc. He purchased a flat during end of 2006 which he had to sell during his 40 thyear (Jan/2008).Here Jupiter is in his own kakshya apart from being the lord of 12 th house in 8th houseaspecting 4 th house from ascendant and thus you can see that the 9 th aspect of 40 th yearresulted in loss (12L & 3L) of house. Being 12 th lord aspecting 4th house he had to sell hishouse to overcome financial hardship. Eighth house indicates wife's health.Chart 8DOB: 17-07-1964 POB: Kakinada TOB: 06:00 A.M. He is cancer ascendant person. Thisperson has taken bank loan and purchased Car during Oct/2003 in his 40 th year.710

Jupiter is in the kakshya of Ascendant. Ascendant lord Moon is placed in the 4 th houseof vehicles. Therefore, Jupiter connected the 6 th house of loans (9 th from Jupiter) and 4 thhouse of vehicles giving him opportunity to buy car on loan in his 40 th year.Chart 9DOB: 20-12-1962 POB: Eluru, India TOB: 01:30A. M. In this chart Jupiter is posited in 6 thhouse from Virgo ascendant aspecting the 9 th aspect to the 2H of family life where Venus isplaced. The lady got married on 07 th April 2002 in her 40 th year.Jupiter is in the kakshya of Sun who is the lord of 12 th house of bed comforts. Sun isposited in the 4 th (sukha sthana) which is the house of settlement in life alongwith Mercuryascendant lord. Jupiter being in the kakshya of 12 th lord activates the 9 th from itself which isthe 2 nd house in the chart leading to addition in family.Venkat is a law graduate and presently pursuing postgraduation in management.

Sage Bhrighu’s BlessingsBhrighu Saral Paddati – 13ByAndree Leclerc, CanadaTechnique: Saptarishis AstrologyReadership Level: Basic To AdvancedWith Obeisance to Lord Ganapathi, Lord Bhrighu & Varahamihira, we thank them for theboons of BSP and are now diving into BSP-13 with this new karma revealing technique.Sage Bhrighu’s Easy Methodology - Bhrighu Saral PaddathiBSP-13: Saturn’s 3 rd aspect implements itself in the 20 th year.What must be kept in mind is that when we read in newspapers that a person died when he was 79,it actually means he completed his 79 th year and was ‘In His’ 80 th year. The Nadi system of astrologyfollows this ‘In His’ year or current or running year as Indians like to call it. So when we say Saturnimplements its 3 rd aspect in his 20 th year it means that the native has completed the 19 th year and is now ‘InHis’ 20 th year or in other words between 19 and 20. Also as the Late J. N. Bhasin pointed out in his immortalclassic ‘Hora Shatak’ results of planets (in our case Saturn’s 20 th year) can be altered plus minus 1 or 2 yearsdepending on the strength of planets and aspects of benefics and malefics on it.Chart #1: Elizabeth TaylorBritish-American actress, born in London to American parents residing in Britain. She learnedballet shortly after learning to walk and once performed before the Queen. At just 18, she married 23-yearoldNicky Hilton, heir to the hotel fortune, on 6 th June 1950, and it was a disaster from the first. Themarriage did not last a year. Next came divorced British actor Michael Wilding, 19 years Liz's senior,whom she wedded on 21 st Feb 1952.712

Saturnji aspects the 5H of romance with his 3 rd aspect wherein sits Rahu and Venus – Venus stands for love& Rahu for divorcee/scandals - she married a divorcee. Moreover, the Lord of the 5H, Jupiter, occupies the9H of religious ceremonies and so, the two lovers were duly wedded. Taylor’s 20 th year will be from Feb 1951to Feb 1952 when Saturn’s 3 rd aspect will implement itself and that is when she married on 21 st Feb 1952.Chart #2: Amelia GossageAmerican heiress upon the death of her wealthy parents when she was a teen. On 2 nd Dec 1975 in her20 th year, she returned to her apartment with a dinner date. Her brother was there and refused to leave.Angry, she pulled his hair and threatened him with a claw hammer until he left. The next day, her brotherEben came home about 9:35 AM when she was asleep. He woke her at 10:30 AM as she had asked. Theybegan a violent argument. At 10:55 AM she made a phone call then resumed their fight. Eben later claimedthat she came at him with a hammer and scissors. In a rage, he hit her with the claw hammer over 17 timeson her head and neck, then stabbed her in the back 20 times with the scissors. Altogether, she had 62wounds. Amelia died between 11:00 AM and noon.713

This is rather grim and we can see that Saturn aspects the 6H of enemies where Moon (12L of exit),Sun (Lagna Lord) and Mercury (maraka 2L & 11L of elder brother) conjointly sit. Same 6H is owned bySaturn which is conjunct with none else than Mars (Significator of brother) and Rahu (BK-brothersignificator as per degree system of sage Parasara) in the fierce sign of Scorpio. All this is very inauspiciousand so was her demise, and this is how Saturn in the 4H (incident happened at home) did his 3 rd aspect inthe 20 th year to the 6 th house of fighting & created this dramatic violence (Saturn, Mars, Rahu – 3 mostviolent planets) by her brother. 1Chart #3: Jean-Claude KillyFrench skier and entrepreneur, the second man in history to win the Triple Sweep in the Alpinemen’s ski in the Winter Olympics in Grenoble, 1968. Taking the gold medal in downhill, slalom and giantslalom and focusing on speed as opposed to style, Killy helped create the modern racing style thatrevolutionized the sport. At 19, Killy joined the French team, whose coach was impressed by his daredevilstyle and came to the US for the first time.Saturn’s 3rd house aspect falls on Leo, the 2H, which is occupied by its Lord the Sun, plus Moon (LagnaLord & also dispositor of Coach 9L) and Venus (Lord of 4H & 11H) – thus setting the scene for his 20 thyear, when he joined his coach (Guru). This chart is a chart of dispositors. See Lagna is self body and LLMoon disposits Jup the 6 th lord of sports & competition & 9L of coach. So the event in his life started inthis 20 th year which is initiated by Saturn’s 3 rd aspect.SA Editor/Publisher:a) Saturn is karma karaka and is placed in the 12H of ‘Past Life Unfinished Business’.b) Saturn is a cold planet – he activated the 20 th year – ski – Winter Olympics – see connection.c) Leo is the 5H of Sishya (student) in the Natural Zodiac, thus Jean-Claude became a student which ismost essential if one has to prepare for his karma.d) Saturn’s 3 rd aspect did what is an unknown part in Vedic astrology, ‘it activated the Moon & SunAscendants together with Venus (note this Ven)’. Now see the chart from Moon & Sun Asc and you1 Editor: As food for thought look at 3 rd lord of brothers in the 8H of death & this is in the 3H (brothers) from Sun/Moonindicating strong cause of brother in death. Then look at Asc & 3 rd lord from Moon/ Sun Asc is Jupiter which is again in the 8Hof death from the Sun Moon Asc.714

would see the aggression required for sports, gotten in from Mars who thereby got activated as theYogakaraka. Mark this Golden rule without yogakaraka activation via ‘Its’ Asc Sign gettingactivated, it remains a useless yogakaraka and astrologers complain that in real practice yogakarakaplanet many a times does not give results without knowing the reasons for this. There are manyrules for this but one of them is that without its Asc not adequately beneficially activated, it isuseless. Note that Saturn is in a Vipareeta Raja yoga and thus its activation of Leo is mostsignificant. Note that Vipareeta Raja Yoga generally means success after someone’s losses but it alsomeans success after pressures; note that a Coach always put pressures on his students to perform.e) He was a craze in 66-67 and in 68 he broke records in the Winter Olympics – you can see that theplanets Saturn activated in the 20 th year, gave fruit, the 66-67 period was the Venus MD last partand during the greatest part of his career i.e. the Winter Olympics, the Sun MD had startedfulfilling the Karmic role of the 8 th cold Lord Saturn and bringing him to the forefront (7L Saturn),and this Saturn becomes the 6 th lord of sports and competition from the Moon Sun Asc, now canone see the significance of this Saturn.f) 1-2 issues back, Saptarishis Astrology had spoken about an unknown ‘Activation Theory’, here inthis chart you can see how this Activation has happened, the seed of the event is more importantthan the event and that is the role of astrologers to find. Let it be stressed we are in the business offinding out the seed & not only the fruit.This move was a step closer to success for him, even if it came after some reverses.Chart #4: Steven SpielbergAmerican film producer and director, the winner of an Academy Award on 21 st Mar 1994 for hisdirection of the Best Picture of the year, "Schindler's List." On 21 st Mar 1999, he won the Oscar as BestDirector for his "Saving Private Ryan." Spielberg grew up in Cincinnati, hearing war stories fromHungarian Holocaust survivors who were tutored by his grandmother. The family moved often and theboy often found himself an outcast, the only Jewish kid in school. He recalls the jibes and jokes about anti-Semitism and at one time, wished he was not Jewish. As a means of expression, he started tinkering withfilm production when he was eight with his dad's 8mm camera. By the time he was 20, he became aprofessional director for Columbia Pictures. His parents’ marriage was unhappy and they divorced whenSteven was 19 (that was it his 20 th year running).715

Saturn 9L of father aspects the 4H of home life & mother from its placement in the 2H of family, therebyseparating (Saturn) the family. The 4L, Mercury, is placed in the 6H with Ketu, the karmic planet. It is at19 years that he went through the pain of his parents’ divorce.Chart #5The person below is one of Saptarishis Astrology’s volunteers cum guide.We see that Saturn occupies the 12H and therefore aspects the 2H. As the 2L of education has gone to the3H of changes, he changed college and his line of education. As the 6L Mars aspects the 2L, he opted for atechnical line of study (because he is a smart ‘kid’!). All this happened between May 92 to May 93, the 20 thyear and as Saturn is the 9L of higher education, it was indeed higher education (engineering studies) forthe boy.Chart #6: Mata HariDutch prostitute and exotic dancer who also served as a spy. The daughter of a merchant, in her youngeryears Margaretha was expelled from convent school for sleeping with a priest 2 and, at the age of 18, movedto Java with MacLeod, her 40-year-old husband. They married on 11 th July 1895 (note 20 th year). The couplehad a violent marriage and one of their two kids died. She left her husband and returned to Europe in 1905where, as an exotic dancer, a nude belly dancer, she went to Paris to work in a brothel.Saturn, placed with Rahu and the Moon in 5H of love and desire, aspects the 7H of marriage – sheacquired a spouse much older than herself who most likely had previous relationships. 7L Mars occupiesthe 10H of happiness from marriage and is conjunct the Sun (11L of marriage as well - BPHS) and Mercury(9L of religious ceremonies and 12L of loss and private comforts (or discomforts).2 Publisher: Note 8L of sex and that too Venus which represents sensuous activity is in 9H of priest and father figure.716

Thus you can see she married an elderly man (Saturn) as compared to her age by Saturn’s 3 rd aspectin her 20 th year. Actually the 20 th year started just 25 days after her marriage (one can note that Saturn isretrograde – Vakri)Chart # 7: Bill CosbyAmerican actor and comedian, the nation’s top TV and live performance humorist for hisfamiliarity and likeability. His series "The Cosby Show" first played on 20 th Sept 1984 and won Emmys thefollowing two years. Friendly, congenial, wholesome and beloved, he puts on a show that focuses on familyand kids with no trace of violence, sexual or racial humour. He dropped out of school and served in the U.S.Navy from 1956 for four years before he finished his high school degree, winning a scholarship to TempleUniversity. Along with making the dean's list, he ran track and played varsity football. He began stand-upcomedy while at Temple, working for $5 a night at a small club. He tended bar at the Philadelphia cafe tohelp meet college expenses and his first nightclub appearance was in a room so small that he had to sitwhile performing.717

Saturn, placed in his Pisces Ascendant casts its 3H aspect on the sign of Taurus conjunct Venus andKetu. As the 3H is a place of changes and Ketu, a definite agent for surprises is placed in Rohini, a wateryMoon Nakshatra, he went from school to the Navy, a period of his life where his Venusian propensities asan artist started blossoming in public. You can see that his 20 th year will be from July 1956 to July 1957whence he joined the Navy. This again was the seed of the event of his life. One can refer to the editorialand refer the Ketu technique, here Ketu sits in the 3H of TV and he made his mark in Television shows.Chart #8: George H. W. BushAmerican politician who served as the President of the United States from 1989-1993. A Yalegraduate in 1948, he went on to become a business executive and owner of Zapata Petroleum. On his 18thbirthday, against the wishes of his parents who wanted him to go on to college, he was sworn into theNavy. When he got his wings in August 1943, he was the Navy's youngest pilot. By the time he emergedfrom the service two years later, he was a war hero. On 2 nd Sept 1944, he nearly died when his torpedobomber, nicknamed "Barbara" for his girl friend, took a hit over the Pacific island of Chichi Jima. With theplane on fire, he flew on to drop his bombs on target. He stayed at the controls, hoping his two crewmencould parachute to safety, but both died. Bailing out over the ocean, Bush was picked up within two hoursby an American submarine. He was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and three air medals.Saturn is in the 3H of flying and short trips, as 6 th lord of fighting & also 7L of forefront, apart from beingdispositor of Mars & Ketu (Fire/mishaps) casts its 3H aspect on the brave, fiery & fighting sign ofSagittarius, his 5H of name, fame and past good deeds & this 3 rd aspect will implement itself in the 20 th yearwhich will be from June 1943 to June 1944, whereas the incident happened 4 th months after the 20 th year.Chart #9: Emilie DervilliersFrench teenager, age 18 when she and three other local teens desecrated the Toulon cemetery. In theearly hours of 09 th June 1996, the four kids brought up the body of Yvonne Foin, who had been buriedtwenty years prior, on 11 th June 1976. With ideology that is somewhat vague and borders around Satanismand Hitlerism, they performed satanic rituals on the cadaver, including necrophilia. Emilie said she718

experienced a great thrill. They all admitted a ferocious hatred for human beings. Her 20 th year would befrom May 97 to May 98 & they went before the courts and were sentenced on 20 th Oct 1997 (20 th year).Emilie was sentenced to three years in jail (one year suspended). Emilie was accompanied by two boys,cousins, and a fourth youth who was a minor and not identified.Saturn sits in the 3H of actions (her actions) and aspects Libra, the 5H who’s Lord occupies the 12H ofsecret yearnings, seclusion, jails and hospitals. This girl was sentenced to go to jail and has hopefullybenefited from some medical treatments. Note that Saturn’s 3 rd aspect is on a Venusian sign, Venus is thekaraka of mantra, tantra as per Vedic astrology and her satanic kind of rituals would have been alsorepresentative of negative tantra.Chart #10: Nathalie WoodAmerican actress, one of the few child stars who was able to make the transition from child roles toteenage and adult roles. One of the most universally popular actresses of her generation, she was petite,dark and attractive. Natalie' love life was active and complicated. She married actor Robert Wagner in 1957when she was 19.719

Saturn is placed in the 7H of marriage & its 20 th year 3H aspect falls on the sign of Taurus, the 9Hof religious ceremonies where Ketu (karmic surprises & also marriage) sits. She duly married andlegitimately benefited according to the laws of men from the 9 th Lord’s position in the 12H of privateaffairs. She married actor Robert Wagner in 1957 when she was 19.Chart #11: Woody AllenAmerican comedian, writer, actor and film director, screenwriter, playwright and musician, giftedand appealing. He was the writer and director of the 1977 film "Annie Hall" which won four Oscars in 1978.At 19, he married a 17-year-old student, Harlene Rosen. The marriage lasted five years.If you love her, just marry her right? This is what Mr. Allen did at 19 years when 5L of love Saturn aspectedthe sign of Aries in the 8H which is not at all strange since therein sits the Moon, Lord of the 11H of wife(BPHS) or, if you like, Lord of the 5H of desire from the 7H of spouse which leads us to assume that thechosen girl was quite willing. And guess what? The Moon occupies Venus’ constellation! Moreover,Jupiter, the good 7L, aspects such a Moon from the 2H of family life, sanctioning the sound of the weddingbells in the 20 th year with Saturn’s 3 rd aspect.The author of an introductory book in French titled “VedicAstrology: Destiny and Free-Will” published by IQ Editions inMontreal, Andree Leclerc studies and practices Vedic ways oflife for over 25 years including Bhakti Vedanta, Jyotish,mantras… She is diving more deeply into Vedic astrology since 5years.

Sage Bhrighu’s BlessingsBhrighu Saral Paddati – 14Bhava Sutra SeriesBySaptarishis AstrologyReadership Level: AdvancedOne bows to Lord Ganapati & Sage Bhrighu, who is the repository of knowledge andhas the highest knowledge in Jyotish and submit this at their holy feet. Thistechnique was discussed in previous editorials and has been mentioned in thiseditorial too. In order that it engrains within all readers it was decided to present it here.Although it looks simple technique but a) it is not so b) ones basics need to be super strongthat can only be acquired after reading each and every classic available c) there is much moreto it but in order that the first steps are clearly grasped it is presented in short here.Some of the rules of decipheration are:-Bhava Sutra SeriesBSP-14: Past Life Bhava Technique14 a) Note the sign in the Asc House, this sign is most important and contains all keys.14 b) Note the sign number in which the Asc Bhava is placed, go to its corresponding house in thechart this will be the Bhava From Past. You can call this for terminology’s sake ‘Past Life House’ or‘Renaissance Bhava’ or ‘Bhrighu Bhava’. Note its significations (karakas), its lordship where it sits,aspects and conjunctions on this house and its lord and the arudhas placed there in. The energy fromthe Asc does get carried away to the Bhrighu Bhava, mark this.14 c) Note the association of this sign number house called ‘Past Life House’ or its lord from MoonAsc or the Arudha Lagna Asc721

14 d) If for e.g. Asc is Virgo and the 6H of the chart is occupied or effected by hardcorefundamentalist malefics, it’s not at all good – this is an unknown technique but very effective.It has been noticed that unless the full life story of an individual one can’t get the taste of this techniqueand at times it has been noticed that this technique just does not work so smoothly unless all factors aretaken into consideration which only an experienced astrologer can do so, also the technique thoughlooking simple is a ‘Concealed Technique’ and not easily decipherable. Before we go into this weremember what mentor always asks us a question and it is unanswered so far by our ancients, thequestion he asks upon seeing any chart is ‘Why is this native given so and so Lagna in this life by God? Firstfind out the answer to that question, it is the very basis of Astrology’. If you really ponder over this questionfor a long time like a Sage you would realise that it is an extremely Profound Question posed by mentor.We pondered over it for years & the technique presented below does not answer that question directlybut hope so touches it slightly indirectly and makes mentor happy. One must not assume that the term PastLife Bhava is what the Bhava was in the past life; it (Bhrighu Bhava) means the most important Karma thatwould come from some life/lives into this Life.Let us test this on few known & unknown chartsChart 1: Sri RamNote the sign it is Cancer (No 4), where Moon (Mother) and Jupiter dispositor of Rahu(Brahmin Asura) is sitting. This particular energy from the Asc sign will be carried to the No 4 Bhava of thischart which will be the Past Life House (PLH) or Bhrighu Bhava. This Brighu Bhava is in the 4H of throne& mother, 3 rd from it is the house of step mother where Rahu (cheating) is situated, he got cheated outof his rightful heir ship to the throne by his step mother. Note the 8L of inheritance is also placed in the4H of Bhrighu Bhava, the whole story of his life ‘Started’ due to inheritance issues and we astrologersknow the importance of the ‘Start Of An Issue’ and how it dominates/re-writes the whole life of anindividual. When Saturn gets associated with 4H or 4L there is ‘chances’ of step treatment in anysignification of that bhava or step mother as Saturn gives the step factor in life is known by astrologers.So Saturn in 4H of Mother of Bhrighu Bhava shows some karma associated with step mother.The next step is to see the Lord of this Bhrighu Bhava or Past Life House or Issues coming frompast life and you will see that the lord is Venus placed in the 9H of marriage, father, king and Venus iskaraka of woman. In all 4 areas woman, marriage, father, becoming a King he had major karma pending,do you see now how easily this can be seen, note the Past Life House and its lord and you get the majorkarma of Shri Ram. Another easy way to decipher this chart is, note the Bhrighu Bhava it is in the signof Libra, which is balance and it was for Shri Ram to teach the noble act of the King always remainingbalanced (throne issues) and note its lord Venus in 9H of father and bhagya and marriage, he showed to722

Indians and established the Dharma of One Wife Dharma (in those days kings and men used to ahvemany wives) and showed us the path of Dharma which Indians till today follow their actions (try to) inthe footsteps of Shri Ram. He killed Ravana and established Dharma (BB lord in 9H) and he showedthat the words of father & mother are always to be respected (BB in 4H & its lord in 9H) and thus gaveup his kingdom.Note the lord of PLH (Past Life House) is aspected by Jupiter the 6L of enemies and dispositorof Rahu (Ravana) and here also there was major karma pending and the cause of Shri Rams birth. Thusyou can use Past Life House or Renaissance House or Bhrighu Bhava and see the ‘Cause of Your Birth’,‘Why you are born’ in seconds if you are an expert astrologer. You will obviously not get the exactwords to predict but the vibration of the soul for this life from this technique which so far no techniquein Indian Astrology gives successfully.Chart 2: MJThe sign in the Asc Bhava is Aquarius which is 11 number sign, so go to 11H of achievementwhere the Sagittarius sign is sitting in the 11H of achievements which is his ‘Past Life Bhava’. Theduality of this sign is wherever this sign is placed in the chart of any individual one would find some‘Revolution’ /Revolutionary Ideas’ or if uncontrolled this sign destroys that house. Now come back to MJschart, the lord of this 11H is Jupiter placed in the 9H of king (western astrology & Chandrakala nadi) ina Venusian Sign. This 9H contains Jupiter & Rahu both expansive planet and Rahu meansinternational. This 9H is 4 th (throne) from Venus (Music) and 3 rd (singing) from Mars (3L of singing).Thus he became known as the King Of Pop.This 9H is also of father & has Rahu, so his father would be the cause of his fortune which wasexactly the case, without his father he would not have achieved it. See 9H is also the house of mentorand it is with Dragons head - Rahu (cheating/break of relations) and his mentor Quincy Jones was alsothe cause of his great albums and the Dragons head thing happened between them. 9H is also the houseof religion and over there the planet of religion Jupiter is sitting and Rahu (change) in Indian astrologyshows Other Castes and particularly some astrologers use it to denote Muslims. Thus, Michael changedhis religion to Islam and towards the end of his life was attracted towards Hinduism. Jupiter is also thesignificator of Children and Rahu denotes cheating and scandals, this is what happened in his life. 9H isthe Resultant House of the 5H of love and children and he was so much in love with children.Dispositors dispositor is a technique that was revealed by Late J N Bhasin and here the dispositor ofJupiter is Venus (women) and it is in the 6H of divorce and legal settlements and loss of money(Venus). This part of the story everyone knows and need not be explained in detail. Thus you can seehow this quick Snap Shot Of Life can be seen.723

Now use BSP 14 a) & b), check the lord of this Past Life Bhava which is Jupiter and its relationwith Moon and Arudha Lagna, from Moon it is again in theChart 3: B V RamanThe Asc Bhava contains the sign of Aquarius, the sign of achievement and biggest hurdles and also thesign of Jyotish. The number in the Asc Bhava is 11, so go to the 11H of the chart; it is again the house ofJyotish and the sign of Sagittarius. This is his Bhrighu Bhava. If you see our note above on MJs chartwe mentioned that Sagi sign is the sign of Revolution and Dr B V Raman chartered the biggestrevolution in Indian Astrology without coming from an 800-1000 year parampara. This Bhava is thePast Life Bhava as mentioned earlier and its lord Jupiter is in the 10H of Karma in the occult sign ofScorpio aspected by a powerful Moon who is the 6L of competition & wars & the 12L of‘UnFinished Past Life Business’ Saturn aspects the lord of Past Life Bhava Jupiter.Thus you can decipher Dr Ramans Karma now as the lord of Past Life House shows his Karma(10H) of removing Jyotish out (Jupiter a graha of light in Sc) for the common man and making greatpredictions of war (Moon 6L) and crushing competition. Thus within a second an astute astrologer candecipher your karma in seconds with this BSP-14 technique.Chart 4: JFK – John F KennedyA9,A10A6,A2A6,A2A9,A10The sign in the 1H is Virgo, the sign that Inspires Others let us not forget this. It is the 6 th housein the natural zodiac and hence this sign signifies diseases and accidents. The 6H of the natural zodiac724

also shows the back bone and you would know that JFK had a huge problem with back pain 1 from anearly age and had to be operated upon if we are not wrong. Now as the sign in Asc is Virgo, the numberof it is 6, in order to find the ‘Past Life Bhava’ or ‘Renaissance Bhava’ you go to the 6H of natal chart ofJFK. This 6H has A9 & A10, he was the King of the country. 6H is house of accidents, diseases (backpain) and the word used by Parasara is Sapatni which means mistress (Monroe and others). The lord ofthis Past Life Bhava is Saturn or Rahu. Saturn sits in the 11H of highest achievement and Rahu is moreof a co-lord for Aquarius as in trine to it there are more planets and it has A6 (accidents) and A2(family/speech) and Rahu is placed in 4H of vehicles, his death & speech are more famous and becamethe central part of his life for generations to come as he died whilst he was with family (A2) in a car (4HRahu lord of Past Life Bhava) and Rahu means the assassin as explained in the editorial and he wasassassinated.Now this chart again purposely, Virgo is the sign, number 6, so go to 6H of chart which is thePast Life House of Kennedy and this 6H shows diseases and mistress, those were central to his life, thengo to lord Rahu which is in 4H of vehicles with A2 (family) and A6 (accident), so you see in 2 secs thatmistresses, health problems and death via assassins kind of Karma is coming from Past Life of thisnative.The Key of the great astrologers that have been observed by us is he uses rare techniques but does not getlost with multiple techniques or observations that he sees in a chart, just keeps his Focus on what He Should See &forgets the rest momentarily, that either is inborn or comes through practice and if you are unfortunate to learn1000 dasas in Kaliyuga you are doomed though it was not so 3000 years back when the intelligence level of humanswas better in jyotish due to the type of training given in Gurukul & purity of student as well as Guru.Chart 5: Close Ones SonA3A3This is a chart it pains us to see as it involves someone we know whose sons chart this is. Note the signit is Leo, which is the 5 th house of the natural zodiac that shows one’s mind. Now find out the Past LifeHouse of the chart, as sign number in Asc is 5, so you go to 5H of this chart which has Sagi and thus itbecomes the Past Life House of this chart. It contains the 6L Saturn (note retro) with A3 (short journey)and this Saturn is dispositor of Mars & Rahu (note this) and now remember BSP 14 d)14 d) If for e.g. Asc is Virgo and the 6H of the chart is occupied or effected by hardcorefundamentalist malefics, it’s not at all good – this is an unknown technique but very effective.1H is brain and 6 th /7 th house is hip, more of 7H. The boy was on his bike (A3) at the signal waiting forsignal to turn green so that he could take a U turn, behind him came speeding car which banged him and1 His Asc Lord Mer is in the 8H of chronic diseases with Mars hence back pain.725

oy got major fractures in the hip region and as we write this (Nov 13 th 2009) is in Coma (Saturn retro)since 13 days and the doctors having given up.People have confused Moola Dasa to time Curses from past life which they earlier taught (butchanged rule later) that when a planet is aspected by 2 malefics then that planet has a curse and MoolaDasa is to be used to time curses. But Varahamihira used to use Moola Dasa and our study has shownthat Moola Dasa can be used for ‘Everything’ as earlier discussed in previous writings of Mentor No 3with the Pandit of Trayambakeshwar wherein the Pandit laughed on what we call Moola Dasa and saidthere are 12/14 types of Moola Dasa.Moola Dasa (dasa showing the root of events - past karma):Mars MD /Rah AD: 2009-Sept-05 - 2009-Dec-12The Mahadasha is Mars and the Antar Dasa is Rahu when the accident happened and native went incoma, you may note that the dispositor of these two planets Mars and Rahu is Saturn who is sitting inthe Past Life Bhava. Do you see how powerful this technique is, ofcourse on dramatic charts wheredramatic events happen most techniques seem to work and on charts which is life less all techniques donot seem to appear fascinating.Chart 6: Mahatma GandhiNote the sign Libra rising in the Asc, whose symbol is Libra, Gandhi was a very balanced manbut irrational in certain areas of life with his own mind (Mars Venus Mer in Asc). Note the number ofthe Asc Sign it is No 7, so go to the 7H of this chart which is the ‘Bhrighu Bhava’, which has 3L ofwriting, action and 6L of fighting Jupiter in the Past Life House of Aries (Leader). Now note Jupiter is aBrahmin Graha which is retrograde. So instead of raising weapons to fight the Britishers he developedhis nuclear bomb called Satyagraha which meant non-cooperation movement and you can see howwisely (Jupiter) he implemented it. 6L of fighting in Past Life House, he was meant to fight, now fightwhom is the question, against whom was he fighting and doing this Karma of Satyagraha. So now yousee from which house does this Jupiter of Past Life Bhava become the Karma House (10 th ), it becomes sofrom Moon & Rahu, now who is this Moon (Queen of Planets) & Rahu (Foreigners) – was it against theBritish Empire, yes his Karma was against the British Empire. Do you now see the Power of this PastLife House and how beautifully it shows and unravels the reason why you are here, what you are goingto do.Now use BSP 14 c)14 c) Note the association of this sign number house called ‘Past Life House’ or its lord from MoonAsc or the Arudha Lagna Asc726

You can see that this Jupiter of Past Life Bhava which is in the 7H of Public Platform & Masses is inthe 10 th house of Father Status from Moon Asc and Arudha Asc, making it DOUBLY powerful and thushe is called the Father of the Nation. Most important is it is also in the 10 th from Rahu, the planet ofimmortality, thus for time immemorial he will become and stay the Father of the Nation this was theKarma (10 th from Rahu) that he brought in this life (via Past Life House).Let’s come back to Jupiter who is the 6L of fighting and revolt, now when ‘All’ can this Jupiter giveresult of the fighting that Gandhi is going to do is the next question. The age of Jupiter as you all knowis 32 years plus minus 1-2 years for being retro. Now Gandhi returned from South Africa to India on 1915and then started fighting the British Empire in India. So let’s roughly add 1915 + 32 = 1947 which is theyear when his fighting bore results and India got her freedom.Readers can use the lord of Past Life House, Mars and see its association with other planets and come tomajor conclusion as to his fasting (2L Mars) and his method of driving the Britishers crazy and so on.Chart 7: FriendThe chart belongs to someone who is in a Govt job and earning around Rs 20,000 per month ($400). Thenative though now is doing fine but has deep scars of whole childhood going in poverty and all hisactions are taking place due to these scars. His sister married a rich guy but ugly and when asked whyshe did so, she openly says due to his money and her husband also knows it that it’s only due to hismoney she married.When we saw this chart we saw the sign Sc in the Asc with Rahu (cheating) & Mars (land) in it.So we went to Past Life House and saw Saturn over there and retrograde and then saw this PLH (pastlife house) from Moon is in the 9 th house of father. We did not predict but realized that native must nothave gotten land property as we combined the Asc Sign and the Past Life House i.e. Rahu (cheating &grandfather) & Mars (land) with Saturn. The native on his own said that land worth some hundreds ofcrores (several million dollars) was not given to them and it was an inheritance issue (8H is house ofinheritance where PLH is there) and it was due to his grandfather (Rahu) they got cheated (Rahu) ofproperty (Mars) and it all went to natives fathers younger brother (11L) which is Mercury and Mercuryis the Lord of Gemini the Past Life House and also Mercury is karaka of relatives. Now the grandfather(rahu) died of paralysis, her uncle (Mer) died of cancer but still the property will not be equally sharedamong all, this is the Karma of Past Life House of this native.Chart 8: Obama727

Let us take a chart which is not easy to decipher and it took us a long time to decipher due to ourinexperience. At the same time unless you keep it simple you can get lost in this chart or any otherespecially when the whole story is not known.The sign in the Asc is Capricorn, the sign of Karma in Natural Zodiac and Father figure, whichis what he has become. Note the number of Capricorn which is No 10 and go to the 10 th House of thechart which becomes the Past Life House having Libra and AL (self coming out) and this house is thehouse of Karma and Father and Govt. Now Libra is a sign of balance and this is in the Past Life House,note this and think on it.What is the need of the hour, it is to create balance (Libra) out of the imbalance in money(Venus) in the world today and that’s the job of Obama not only in America but in the world as theAmerican economy dominates the whole world. Then what is Libra, sign of just (balanced)relationships, it is need of the hour for America to stop doing measures by which terrorists have beenindirectly breed and this violence that has emanated must be balanced, this is the Karma of the Past LifeHouse of Obama. His Karma is to bring this balance in this world and though this is a philosophicalstatement but only after reading a lot of blogs and papers one can realize that this is what people hopeout of Obama to bring that change (Venus is in Gemini the natural 3H of zodiac) and thus this Venuslord of the PLH in Gemini in 3H of zodiac which is the house of ‘Unlocking of Karma’ is what this manis expected to do, that’s what the whole of America believes in him to perform to Unlock their Karma,Unwind the wrongs that America did in the past and make it all balanced (Libra) for that Obama hasbeen sent.As a side note, PLH lord Venus is in the 6H of fighting in the sign Gemini (writing & speech)and this Venus is also the lord of the 5H of authorship. Which means the Lord of the 5H of authorshipVenus got activated and when he wrote something called father (Venus is 10L of PLH) his Karma gotactivated and he became the King (Mer is also 9L of King).Chart 9: Bill GatesThis is a very simple chart to interpret the Bhrighu Bhava which comes in the 3H as the Asc isGemini so we see the 3 No house in the chart which is in this case Leo. Bhrighu Bhava comes the signLeo, the King. Now in the Renaissance House there is Jupiter who is the 7L of Public Limelight andBusiness & 10L of Profession and Jupiter is expansive but it is with Mandi. The 3H is associated withcommunications and computers and this Jupiter is in nakshatra of Ketu (karaka of software) and thus hecreated Microsoft and Windows and became famous and a King in that since it is the sign Leo.728

Why famous since the Past Life House lord Sun is placed in 5h of fame with 8L Saturn andaspected by Rahu hence if he does anything hanky panky his organization will be split which is whathappened. This dispositor of Renaissance House is conjunct a powerful Venus who is swagrahi and isthe 12L of charity, so money gained out of this software project will also be donated by him and his wife(Venus) and more fame gained (5H).Readers are requested to test this technique more aggressively first on famous charts and then onunknown charts and only then accept or reject it. May this technique be placed at the holy feet of SageBhrighu and Mentor.729

Sage Bhrighu’s BlessingsBhrighu Saral Paddati – 15Graha Sutra Series – Shukra RevealsBySaptarishis AstrologyReadership Level: Basic To AdvancedOne can, if one is honest to oneself observe after spending 50-60 years in astrology thatsomewhere down the line we have missed the basics and our understanding of grahas, rasis andhouses is grossly incomplete. Modern trends in astrology make us delve deeper into 40-50dasas, 20 divisional charts and 15 different lagnas but we miss seeing the most basic and apparent thingin a chart. It has been observed that if ones basics is good then one can make stunning predictions farsuperior than using so many dasas and thereby these basics helps us to understand ‘What is happeningin a Chart’. The Core Team of Saptarishis Astrology long back had realised that our own basics are verypoor and decided to concentrate on it. In this endeavour we discovered details on grahas which werealised where not known even to the seasoned scholar or mentioned in classics. Below is an example ofwhat we call Mota Mota Technique, which means a Broad-Broad methodology which need not beblindly applied but it shows us some special role of the graha that has been unrevealed by any paramparaso far, when blindly applied it has worked on 50% of the chart straight away in a very easy manner, 30%in a bit complicated manner but for a seasoned astrologer it would not be called a complicated techniqueas he is used to complex methodologies & in 20 % of the cases it probably failed due to our own lack ofunderstanding of basics. Ideally such techniques must not be openly revealed until the student hasforgotten his chart, lost interest in mundane life but it is only being revealed so that one accepts that ourunderstanding of Jyotisha is far limited, stops wasting his energy into finding 70 dasas or complicatedmethodologies and tries to dig deeper into understanding planets first as its the very foundation ofastrologyOne must also be warned about it that they must not take this for blind prediction but forunderstanding a newer aspect of the graha in this case Shukra – Venus as mostly astrologers worldwideassociate with Venus only sensuousness, material life and money gain. The style of writing of thisarticle is filmy so that readers don’t forget the method & also a bit loosely constructed so that ones whodo not follow the Jyotish Purusha rules may forget. This series is started with Venus as he is the son ofthe Sage Bhrighu on whose holy feet we submit this technique for more clarification before bowing toLord Ganapati.730

Graha Sutra Series – Shukra RevealsShukra -Venus says ‘The house where I am given shelter or the lord I conjoin with or the lord of the house Irepresent will show where I can, I repeat I can & not will (100 %) contribute to thea) Medical expenses or Diseasesb) At times Deathc) Peeda (Dramatic Troubles)He further says ‘If I am in mood then the 12 th from where I am placed could be hit by me & you would be forced toget the Sanjeevani (Miracle Herb) Bhuti for the problem but if my blessings are not there then you would not getit. All the above results will no doubt depend on other conditions but still would affect it out atleast mildlyirrespective of the conditions’Let us recapitulate the conditions in BSP-15 as BSP-15a, BSP-15b & so ona) Observe the position house of Venus or the Lord it combines with and that lord’s houseownership or the house Venus is lord of.b) This Venus will indicate the diseases or medical expenses that you would spend in this life.c) At times it can also indicate the nature of death.d) At times it can also indicate the ‘Dramatic Troubles - Peeda’ that you would face in your life.e) Irrespective of the sign it is placed in whether of friend or enemy or exaltation or dispositor wellor ill placed or nakshatra lord well or ill placed still this Venus can give results if it wishes.f) Venus can also afflict the 12 th from it.g) Karakas in both cases of Venus and/or the conjoining lord must be used effectively.Let us test these principles enumerated above on some charts bearing in mind that of a total of 24 chartsonly few are taken here which are exhibiting straight forward results for readers to understand. Wouldtry to avoid nakshatra lordship in the explanation although it is a must to use it to understand thistechnique on complex charts.Chart 1: Robert Altman – American Film Producer731

Venus the 8 th lord of chronic diseases is sitting in the 4H of ‘Heart’ along with surgery (Ketu)and hospitalization (Mer 12L). The dispositor of this Venus is exalted in a Sasa Mahapurusha Yoga stillas per the promise of Venus he underwent a Heart Transplant in 1990s & died November 20, 2006 in LosAngeles of complications of cancer; he was 81. He had been diagnosed with the disease 18 months priorto his death. With a satirical eye for the American way of life and a stylistic naturalism, he deliveredunique films, more than 30 movies by 1987. He had a history of minor features and TV work behind himwhen M.A.S.H. established his reputation. Thus you can see that BSP-15a can give you an instant ideato double check heart diseases if Venus is found in the 4H if other factors support.Chart 2: Borgatti, Giuseppe – Italian Opera SingerA2, A8,A6A2, A8,A6Both eyes are represented in general by 2H and its lord Sun (good sun shows good eyes) is with exaltedVenus so shouldn’t it give great eyesight and that too when Venus is in its exaltation degree, so howcome he went blind suddenly in the middle of a performance at La Scala in 1913 & never recovered hissight. One can say that this Sun-Venus combo is in the 8th from 2H of eyes but that’s just one point &not enough to give such dramatic results, but if you use Venus rule of Sage Bhrighu, then you can seethat Venus has given him blindness. Venus in Indian mythology became blind (remember Baliepisode).From parasari angle, 6L of disease Jupiter is sitting in the 2nd sign of Taurus which signifies Eyes & alsoVenus is dispositor of A6 (disease), A8 (chronic) & A2 (eyes).Italian tenor opera singer and teacher, noted for his renditions of Wagner. He made a debut atCastelfranco Veneto in 1893. Borgatti died 18-Oct-1950, Milan, Italy.Chart 3: Adelman, Kenneth Lee – American Govt Official.Venus is placed in the 11H (the resultant house of disease) along with Mercury which signifies skin.Thus you can see that this Venus has given him Chronic Eczema thus his medical expenses went thisway as per BSP-15 b.American government official, appointed in January 1983 by President Reagan as Director of the U.S.Arms Control and Disarmament Agency, a nomination rejected by the Foreign Relations Committee.Adelman had served in several government capacities, was a senior political scientist with the StanfordResearch Institute, and authored a book, "African Realities."732

Chart 4: Aitken, Jonathan– British MP.Venus is the 3 rd lord of lungs posited in the 12H of bed and is the dispositor of the 6L of diseasesactivating the 6H, he was bed ridden for 3 years with T.B.British politician, a Member of Parliament returned at the General Election of 11 th June 1987. Arespected politician who attained the post of Chief Secretary to the Treasury, he was subjected toallegations by the Guardian publications of traveling down a dark road of concealment, deceit,perversion and finally, perjury. He responded with a defamation suit and a fight that lasted 3 1/2 yearsbefore he was brought to justice. He declared insolvency to his creditors and on 10 th May 1999, declaredbankruptcy. Jonathan Aitken was sentenced to 18 months prison on 08 th June 1999.Chart 5: West, Dottie – American Country Western Singer.American country-western singer, composer and songwriter. She is known for "Would You Hold ItAgainst Me" and "Paper Mansions" along with many famous duets with Kenny Rogers, Jim Reeves andother noted singers. Big-hearted and caring, she helped many new artists get ahead.733

You can see that Venus is in the 12H of hospitalization & being bed ridden and as per BSP-15 representsdiseases & medical bills; it is with Jupiter (Liver) and Ketu (surgery).Around late June or early July 1991, she was hospitalized for several days after a traffic accident she hadwhile exiting the driveway to her apartment complex. Then, on 31st Aug 1991, while being driven toperform at the Grand Ole Opry by a neighbour, George Thackston, 80, the car he was driving went outof control just before 8:00 P.M. on a Nashville parkway's elevated exit ramp.The car crashed nose down onto the roadway below. Doctors operated twice, removing her spleen andtrying to repair her ruptured liver. She died during a third liver operation on 4th Sept 1991 when herheart failed due to massive blood loss. You can see that Jupiter is the karaka of Liver and also is the 4Lof heart (not 5L).Chart 6: Agnelli, Giovanni – Italian Industrialist, the Head of Fiat734

Italian industrialist, the head of Fiat since 1966, an auto empire established by grandfather, Giovanni.The chart owner Agnelli, Giovanni died of Prostate Cancer. His father, Edoardo, died in an airplaneaccident in 1935 and his mother, Virginia, died in an auto accident in November 1945.Diverting here from our said technique, his father and mothers fate can be seen with Venus Ketu in the5H (maraka for mother) & 8th from 10H of father and Jupiter Saturn together (previous BSP method ofAries spoilt), which means 8th from 10H of father and 9th (bhagya-also end) from 9th house of father.Now let’s revisit the chart owner who died of Prostate Cancer. First use previous Bhrighu rule SaturnJupiter Together, Aries is destroyed, see it working here Aries is where Venus is placed and you wouldonly require Sanjeevani Bhuti (life reviving herb mentioned in Ramayana) for it. As you knowwhenever Aries is destroyed the physical health of the native is destroyed and there is a dramatic disease(basics of Natural Zodiac horoscopy - Kala Purusha horoscopy). He suffered from prostate cancer whichis near the rectum which is an 8H matter or 8th sign that is Scorpio disorder, the lord of it is Mars orKetu. See now Mars is with Moon the 8th lord and the other co-lord Ketu is with Venus in Aries sign.He is unfortunately attacked from all angles and from Sc (prostate) the 6th house of disease is whereVenus (BSP-15) and Ketu (incurable disease) is present, so Prostate Cancer. He died of Prostate Canceron 24th Jan 2003 when Moola Dasa of Rahu/Sat/Ven (see) was running and Vim Dasa of Jup/Ketu/Jup- see Ketu’s role is already established with Ketu Venus together and Ketu being the lord of Sc, Jupiter isretro and goes to 8H of prostate thereby aspects Sc.Chart 7: Aiazzone, Piergiorgio – Italian nativeVenus is in the 6H of accidents along with Lagna Lord and the chart is of an Italian fatality, killed in aplane crash in bad weather 06th July 1986; survived by a wife and two kids. By Parasari Venus is 2ndmaraca lord but it is so difficult to determine who is maraca in each lagna though previous authors havesounded it off as an easy task.Chart 8: Almond, Marc – British EntertainerBritish entertainer, the flamboyant homosexual singer of the ’80’s band, "Soft Cell." Teamed with DaveBall, Anthony gained a cult following with hits like "Tainted Love," which went to No.1 in August 1981,and "Say Hello, Wave Goodbye," 1982.735

Use BSP-15 instantly and you can see that Venus (cars) is in the 2nd house of maraca with Mars (speedycars & accidents) and thus on October 17, 2004, the British singer sustained severe injuries when themotorcycle on which he was a passenger crashed into a car in London. Almond underwent surgery andis expected to make a full recovery.Chart 8: Addey, John – British Author of Harmonics In AstrologyBritish theorist and researcher, the founder and developer of modern harmonics and author of"Harmonics in Astrology" 1976. At 23 he was struck down overnight by ankylosing spondylitis, a kind ofacute rheumatism. 23 as per Bhrighu Chakra Paddathi (BCP) means 11H where Venus (BSP-15) is withAsc Lord, Moon so body problem can be anticipated as per BSP-15 and that is what happened to him.After a year flat on his back, he joined a mystery school and moved into his life position of being amystic, a philosopher and a mathematician. A permanent cripple with calcified spine, he walked withcanes. His best known work is Harmonics In Astrology and a great contribution to western astrology is736

what we are told, as you can see After the 23 rd year got activated in BCP and thus Venus also gotactivated as per BSP-15, the Venus did what it does best, Shukracharya (Venus) does Jyotish especiallysince it is in the 11H of astrology. Note the Amk & PK great combo in the 11H of astrology.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Addey_%28astrologer%29 .Earlier we did mention not to ignore nakshatra lordship but have avoided using it in order to keep theKiss principle, the above chart owner suffered rheumatism, some take Saturn as the karaka forrheumatism for various reasons, one logic given is as it sets mainly in most cases in the old age it issignified by Saturn who is old. If you see above chart Saturn’s nakshatra lord is Venus our principlegraha of this article.Chart 9: Adams, Douglas – British Sci-Fi WriterA 6A 6British sci-fi writer known for his wacky "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," a 1979 cult favourite. Itwas turned into a book, which sold 14 million copies around the world, and later into a television series.He died of a heart attack on 11 th May 2001 at age 49, Santa Barbara, CA.4H is house of heart, 3 rd , 6 th , 8 th & 11th (note these 3) from it will determine the health of the heartespecially the 6H of disease from it which is the 9H where in this chart Venus along with A6 (disease)is sitting with Rahu (sudden) and Sun (karaka for heart) and 12th from Mer the 4L of heart. For thosewho take 5H of heart, here Venus is the 5L of heart with Sun karaka of heart.Chart 10: Black, Shirley Temple – American ActressAmerican actress, child actress, the most famous in history from age three, and politician. She madefilms from 1932-1950, avoiding the usual downfalls of self-destruction or pretension. Her films included"Little Miss Marker," "Heidi" and "Curley Top." She left an archive of 40 films and 50 one-hour TVshows.In 11/1972, she survived the upset of breast cancer and had a radical mastectomy. 4H is the house ofbreasts and 2nd from it is the maraca house that is 5H where in her chart Venus is sitting. No doubtwith normal parasari one can see that 6L of diseases Mars is placed in the 4H of breasts so she would getsome disease re breasts. If you do not want to use the maraca of the 4H and want to see the disease to737

the breasts then use BSP-15f and Venus sitting in the 5H will affect its results to the 12 th from it which isthe 4H of breasts giving her breast cancer.Breasts is 4H so Cancer sign in natural zodiac should be afflicted and its lord Moon is in the 8H ofchronic diseases, apart from this moon also signifies milk, well she got breast cancer.Chart 11: Jesse James – How Death Will HappenAmerican noted outlaw, famed along with his brother Frank leading a gang in the old west. Noted forhis unerring pistol accuracy, he was a dangerous killer as well as a robber. A huge reward for that time738

period ($10,000) was placed on his head dead or alive and one of his own gang members shot him in the head,at home with his wife and two small kids 1 . He died immediately, 4/03/1882, St. Joseph, MO.His time of birth gets a suspect C rating by Roddens. Now see Venus is placed in the sign ofVirgo which is the natural 6 th house of servants and subordinates. So Death (Venus) was brought aboutby his own sub-ordinate gang member and it is with Rahu that means Cheating, his gang membercheated him. Venus being 12L of death is in 4H of home, he was shot at his home.Chart 12: Michael Jackson – Where Death Will HappenHere we stick with Basil Ferrington reported time of birth. Even if one does not accept thatVenus will still remain in the sign of Cancer which is the 4H of heart and house in the natural zodiacand the reports in press indicate that he died of cardiac arrest at his house (note that Rahu is in the 4Hfrom this Venus and later one BSP method of Rahu will be written in future volumes).It does not mean that all with Venus in the sign of cancer will die at home or of cardiac arrestsince some other stronger graha will take over, this is the key of astrology ‘Who is Stronger of GrahasTo Dominate and take the cake and eat it too’.Chart 13: Paramhansa Yogananda – How Death Will HappenAstro data bank takes 20.38 as the time of birth with this note ‘Mercury Hour, 7/1976, quotes his ashram,the Self Realization Institute. (Gorakhpur is on Madras time. As it is 3 degrees 7 min east of Madras, thecorrection of Gorakhpur to Madras is 12 min 28 sec plus, making the time 20:50 LMT. If the LMTcorrection had already been made, the original Madras time would have been 20:26 LMT. We areperhaps safest in assuming that the time as given is LMT.) In that case the lagna degree would be 6Le36,as we are concerned with the Rasi chart where Venus is in the 4H of heart and house & as per BSP 15this ‘Can’ be the cause of death. This is on the assumption that the chart is correct, a chart can be wrongin an article and scholars can spend lifetimes debating it whereas we as students of this science shouldbe concerned with the underlying principles accuracy, in this context the BSP-15. Now as perWikipedia, ‘On March 7, 1952, he attended a dinner for the visiting Indian Ambassador to the U.S.,Binay Ranjan Sen and his wife at the Biltmore Hotel in Los Angeles. At the conclusion of the banquetYogananda spoke of India and America, their contributions to world peace and human progress, and1 Wikipedia gives a different version and says that the widow of Jesse James survived.739

their future cooperation, expressing his hope for a "United World" that would combine the best qualitiesof "efficient America" and "spiritual India."According to two eyewitnesses—long-time disciples Swami Kriyananda and Daya Mata—as Yoganandaended his speech, he read from his poem My India, concluding with the words "Where Ganges, woods,Himalayan caves, and men dream God—I am hallowed; my body touched that sod". At the very lastwords, he slid to the floor, dead from a heart attack. Kriyananda wrote that Yogananda had once stated ina lecture, "A heart attack is the easiest way to die. That is how I choose to die." On March 7, 1952 he wasrunning the Kalachakra dasa of Sc where Venus is placed and Moola Dasa of Venus.Lets quickly divert and remind readers of Bhrighu Chakra Paddati, he died in his 60 th year which is 12Has per BCP and its lord is Moon in Asc which means 12L of death on Self (asc) which is what happenedand being Moon who is the natural 4 th lord of zodiac –shows quick and 4H is heart, that’s how ithappened.Use this Venus principle as an exercise for complicated astro methods on the chart of JFK, see whereVenus is, then see if it is the 3L of travelling, no it is not, then see if it is 3L from Moon Asc and sitting at 9H is itlooking at 3H of travel, then see 3 rd from this Venus is there Saturn and is this Venus with Jupiter, did he die inJup/Saturn dasa. Then use another BSP principle that Andree wrote in previous issue of Jup Saturn together onething in Aries is spoilt and use this technique on Dasa of Jup MD-Sat AD, put that into practice and you wouldsee that Aries will be effected to some extent whenever Jup/Sat or Sat/Jup combos come in dasa and here in JFKcase you would see that Aries is the 8H of longevity where 3L Mars is placed who is lord of travelling and bulletalong with body lord (Asc Lord) Mer. Also note that Jup & Saturn aspect the 5H of children where A8 (death) isalso there and see the link.Thus it is requested for readers to kindly test this method more blindly at first to verify a chart whereevents are known and the chart is 60 plus in age and then use it more effectively. When this technique was sharedwith mentor he instantly said he knows a chart where Venus is in the 2H and the person has eye problems andthen we discussed the chart of a famous elderly astrologer writer who has Venus in the 1H along with Mars the2 nd lord and 7 th lord, he has problem of diabetes, Venus signifies sweet things and he eats pan - a sweet chewingproduct made in India. His Venus is with 7L and he is not married & always strained relations with people (beingfactual and not derogatory here), thereby showing the BSP-15 d principle of Peeda – Dramatic Troubles for the7H. With obeisance to Sage Bhrighu and mentor who always inspires us to go into those areas where others havenot gone before and be ready to face disappointments too, we dedicate this work to beloved mentor.740

Because, 'Kanda' in sanskrit means acompartment / section / piece and 'antham' means 'end' / 'final'. As we know, in Vedic Astrology, the entire zodiac isclassified as three compartments as below: Aries to Cancer (carries one complete cycle of 9 stars) Leo to Scorpion (carries onecomplete cycle of 9 stars) Sagittarius to Pisces (carries one complete cycle of 9 stars). The starting and ending points of thesesigns are identified in terms of Nakshatra Padas/Charanas and known as Kandanthas. Therefore, the starting points ofAries, Leo and Sagittarius viz. the first quarter of Ashwini, Magha and Moola respectively (all owned by Ketu). Similarly,the ending points of Cancer, Scorpion and Pisces are the fourth quarter of Ashlesha, Jyeshta and Revati respectively (all areowned by Mercury). These points, (i.e. Kandantha Stars) are considered as weak based on the following points:(i) They are situated in Riksha Sandhi i.e. at junctional points of natural zodiac. (ii) They are representing the confluence ofmutually conflicting 'pancha bhutas', viz. water and fire. i.e. Pisces vs Aries, Cancer vs Leo, Scorpion vs Sagittarius.Thereby, the planets deposited at these places lose their originality. Therefore, the fourth quarter of Revati is certainlyrepresenting Kendantha. This can be substantiated with the Shloka I.22 of Jataka Parijata which runs as "Katak aliMeenamantham pragandanthamith prasiddham" Here, 'Meenamantham' signifies the fourth quarter of Revati. Of course, the word743

Sage Bhrighu’s BlessingsBhrighu Pada DasaSystem –A Leaf ofBhrighu MaharishiByDr K.P.Vaani, IndiaReadership Level: AdvancedDr K.P.Vaani is a Senior Scientist,Acharya Ranga Agril UniversityHyderabad in Andhra Pradesh. She is also aJyotish Visharad from ICAS, Secunderabadand Faculty cum Academic In Charge atICAS, Secunderabad. A devoted student ofnadi astrology learning it from her NadiTeacher Shri A V Sundaram who is theNational Joint Secretary, ICAS.By Divine grace of my Guruji Dr.Naresh ,Chandigarh and under ableguidance of Shri A.V.Sundaram I’m herepresenting basic treatise on “Pada DasaSystem of Timing” timing events ofnative’s life with Bhrigu cycle of theplanets.There are various predictive toolsavailable in Jyotish. Among them BhriguMaharishi’s Pada Dasa is an importanttechnique for predicting or timing anevent. But this method is not practiced for1753

want of proper information for application which is due to non availability of literature,article or texts.Recently in ICAS-Secunderabad chapter Nadi Course on different levels wasconducted under able co-ordination of Shri A.V.Sundaram an eminent Nadi Researcher andNational Joint Secretary – ICAS. In the course of the study, Bhrigu Pada dasas wereextensively worked out. I am thankful to the authors/speakers especially Shri Tejan Bosewho contributed in Bhrighu Pada System.To begin with we must find the Arudha Pada of the houses. Arudha Pada alsocalled as “Pada” and means “Mount” and refers to the image of a sign falling onanother due to reflection of the rays emanating from it and being reflected by its lord.Computation Of Arudha PadasArudha Pada is obtained by counting the number of the houses, the house lord hadmoved away from that particular house in question. The house so obtained will be the“Arudha” for that house under consideration.For example the pada of the ascendant will correspond to the sign arrived by countingthe number of signs from the ascendant lord ahead from ascendant.Similarly the padas for 12 bhavas or houses should be computed from the placementof house lord or lord away from the house.Therefore the 12 Padas arrived from 12 houses can be termed as follows shown in the Table.1.HouseFirst HouseSecond HouseThird HouseFourth HouseFifth HouseSixth HouseSeventh HouseEighth HousePadaLagna PadaSecond PadaThird PadaFourth PadaFifth PadaSixth PadaSeventh PadaEighth Pada2754

If the lord of the house is in the same house the 10 th house in question there from can betreated as its pada . ex. In the above chart, 9 th lord is sun in its own house, Simha, thereforethe 9 th pada falls in the 10 th house from Simha, i.e. Vrishaba.2. If the lord of the house is in the 7 th , pada falls in the opposite house but being Kendra, padafalls in 10 th house from the said house. ,ex. Cancer lagna, the lagna lord falls in the seventh(Makara),then lagna pada falls in cancer, which is Kendra, hence it should again be shiftedto 10 th from it i.e. Mesha.3. If the lord of the bhava is in the 4 th from bhava, then the pada falls in the 7 th , since it isKendra, it should again be shifted to 10 th .Ex. Vrishabha Lagna, LL is in 4 th house(Simha), then lagna pada falls in Vrischika, which is again Kendra, hence it should beshifted to 10 th from it, i.e. Simha again.4. If the lord of the bhava falls in the 10 th bhava from its place, then the pada falls in the 4 thbhava in question. Ex. Sagittarius Lagna, Mars is the 5 th lord, posited in Makara (10 th )therefore the 5 th pada falls in the 10 th from makara i.e. Thula, which is Kendra hencepada is shifted again to 10 th from Thula which is Cancer thus finally being 4 th from Mesha(bhava in question).4756

SATURN ---As per Vedic texts any event in an individual’s life will fructify as per the promise inthe natal chart during the dasas and gochara but as per Bhrigu Pada Dasa Technique theevent will occur when the Pada lord will transit the particular house at that particular age of the life.This pada dasa system of Bhrigu Maharishi’s corresponds almost to the Metoniccycle of planets which refers to the return of the planets to the same position of the Zodiacwith respect to the fixed star. Dasa Periods of the planets are derived as per the periodicrevolutions made in the Zodiac to come back to the exact position of the star.Table 3. : Cyclic Periods of PlanetsS.No. Planet Period in 12RasisPeriod in OneRasi1.

From the natal chart compute the 12 padas for 12 houses. List out the pada lords. To time any event, calculate the present age of the native. Also list out the house lords, padas and pada lords related to the particular event. Then find out the dasa period of the pada lords related to the particular event. Finally event will be timed when these pada lords at that particular age will be6758

influencing the house, house lord, pada and the karaka.Some Principles Involved In Timing Of Event Dasa Period of pada lord is directly involved with the event. Bhrigu system of astrology gives maximum importance to Kendra/Trikonas. Thuswhenever the pada lords are in trine or kendra to the house lords/house or crossing thehouse, then the events will be fructified.{ Kendra-Self effort, Trines-Fate} Lagna pada signifies protection; it will try to protect the native from total effects.Ex. To time the marriage event for a native, the following should be analyzed. :House - Lagna , 7 HouseHouse lords - Lagna lord, 7th lordPada lords - Pada lord of Lagna lord, Pada lord of 7th lordPresent age of the native.Dasa Periods of pada lords influencing Lagna, Lagna lord, and 7th house, 7th lordEvent will occur when the pada lords during their dasas will influence the houses, houselords and karaka by moving over them or in trines to them.In the chart given below we will discuss marriage eventFor Example: Chart A: Sep-10-1939, 2.20 P.M. MadrasChart Showing Movement of Pada lords over the Houses, House Lords or Karakaduring their Dasa Periods7759

Conclusion:Therefore it can be concluded that pada lord are very vital in Bhrigu Pada systemof timing the event. The pada lords during its dasa period will make the event to occur bydirectly influencing through its movement over the house or the house lords.9761
