(1) On facebook a research minded budding astrologer started impressing me through his writings and ideas and that made me convinced that the future of Vedic Jyotish is safe and bright. In the article he wrote on Thursday, August 31, 2017 on Facebook he gave almost convincing reasoning about the supremacy of Transits over Dasha against the present common belief among most of the astrologers advocating Vedic Jyotish.
(2) Time to time different scholars of Indian
Jyotish have put their own way about the comparison between Dasha &
Gochara. The term Indian Jyotish is different from Vedic Jyotish. Vedic Jyotish
has its roots in Vedas but there are other non Vedic predictive systems used in
Indian from ancient and they all systems in addition to Vedic Jyotish come
under Indian Jyotish.
(3) The Raman School of thought considers
Dasha as primary and Gochar as secondary.
(3.1) The Kp School of thought considers the
agreement between Dasha and Gochar for an event to happen
(3.2) Parashara’s School of thought (Ancient
Vedic Jyotish) never gives comparison between Dasha and Gochar in other words
it dignifies both Dasha (Vinshottri, KaalChakra and Charapraya etc) as well as
Gochar (Ashtakavarga System specially).
(3.3) Still there is one School of thought
which use a different concept about Dasha & Gochara and according to this
School of thought the progressive period of a Planet is Dasha (Vinshottri etc) and
the Antardasha in that Dasha on account of their result giving capabilities are
termed as Gochar or Agochar Grah. For example in the Mahadasha of Planet A the
Antardasha of Planet B if found good result giving is termed as Gochar of
Planet B and if Antardasha of Planet B if found to give adverse result then the
Antardasha of Planet B is termed as Agochar of Planet B. This thought is
nothing but a systematic study of the results of various Antardasha in a Dasha
as per Parashara where the lord of Anatardasha if found in Kaedra, trikona,
third or eleventh from Lagna or Dasha Lord give good results (Gochara of Planet
ruling the Antardasha) whereas if Antardasha Lord occupies second, twelfth,
sixth or eight house from Lagna or Dasha Lord give adverse results (Agochar of
the lord of Antardasha).
(3.4) Varaha School of thought holds
Gochar always compels Dasha to give good or bad results.
(3.5) It was in year 1991 and 1992 when I studied various thoughts about timing of events through Dasha and Gochar and the effectiveness of Dasha and Gochar through self efforts but it took several years to understand that properly. In forthcoming paragraphs I shall share some fraction of the researches conducted by me concerning Dasha and Gochar.
(4) Moon appears at night and it witnesses every planet and receives
light from Sun and thus it also has information about Sun. As a whole Moon has
each & every information about every Planet including Sun.
(4.1) The Planets cannot be seen wandering during Day but at night the
Planets can be seen wandering in the sky. The very Sanskrit term Gochar
indicates wandering of Planets. Planets are seen through naked eyes in the
night sky and it could be the reason that several Vedic Jyotish texts
recommends Gochar to be taken from Moon.
(4.2) This Moon with all the information about Gochar enters a Nakshatra
to create a Dasha and thus Dasha has information about its ruling Planet and
the Gochar of Planets so in a Dasha its ruling Planet and Gochar of Planets
play deterministic roles to make it result giving.
(4.3) The Gochar can influence a Dasha and compel it to reflect its
(Gochar) short term decisions but Gochar never disregards the long term
decision of Dasha Lord to be reflected in the entire passage of the Dasha.
Dasha is stream and Gochar is ripple.
(5) Many of research minded astrologer will think that Gochar works independently and influences the earth and this earth has no Dasha like human being. If you think so then you are wrong. The entire Gochara influencing earth also comes under the strong influence of Dasha, Antardasha, Pratiantrdasha, Sookasham Dasha and Prana Dasha.
(5.1) Like Vinshottri Mahadasha of 120 Years this earth also has a life
of One Kalpa of 4320000000 years
(5.2) The Vinshottri Mahadasha of 120 years is divided into nine dasha
similarly one Kalpa is divided into fourteen Dasha known as Manvantra. The Nine
Dasha are Sun, Moon, Mars, Rahu, Jupiter, Satun, Mercury, Ketu & Venus
similarly Fourteen Manvantra are Swyambhav Manu, Swarochish Manu, Auottmi Manu,
Taamas Manu, Revat Manu, Chakshsush manu, Vevasvet Manu, Saverni Manu,
Dakshsaverni Manu, Bhramsaverni Manu, Dhramsaverni Manu, Rudraputra Manu,
Rauchya Manu and Bhautyak Manu. At present the seventh Manvantra the Vevasvet
Mnventra is going on. In various Vedic literature the results of every
Manvantra has been described.
(5.3) Every Dasha is divided into nine Antardasha and every Manventra is
divided into seventy one Chaturyugi as Antardasha. At present twenty eighth
Chaturyugi is going on.
(5.4) Every Antardasha is further divided into nine Pratiantra and every
Chaturyugi is further divided into the Pritiantardasha of four Yugas (1)
Satyuga, (2) Treta Yuga, (3) Dwapur Yuga and (4) Kali Yuga. At present 28th
Kaliyuga is going on.
(5.5) Every Pratiantar is further divided into nine Sookashamdasha and
every Yuga is divided into Years as Sookasham Dasha.
(5.6) Every Sookashama Dasha is further divided into nine Prana Dasha and
every year is divided into twelve months as Prana dasha.
(5.7) The results of Yugas are given in Puranas. Whatever is happening today already exist in Vedic Purana.
(5.8) The character and strength of Planets
change with Yuga and here too Gochar appears to give its results on short term
basis whereas Yuga gives its results on long term basis.
