“Bhadrika Yogini Dasha” - An article written by Vishal Aksh

 

According to Mansagri the following results occur in Bhadrika Dasha:

 

√ Cordiality among kinsman, devotion towards guru and increase of the faith in parmatma. 

√ Regards from friends. 

√ Auspicious celebrations at home. 

√ Mind always engrossed in the best business. 

√ Rajya yoga. 

√ Enjoyments, fun & joy in the company of various beautiful damsels. 

√ There will be welfare of the native too.

 Note: All the aforesaid results are general but effective.

 

Almost every astrologer will say that nakshatras Bharni, Magha, Jyeshta and Uttarbhadrapada are ruled by Venus, Ketu, Mercury and Saturn respectively but it is not so in case of Yogini dasha. You will be surprised to know that all the four nakshatras written in this paragraph are ruled by Mercury’s Yogini Bhadrika.

 A closer look at these four nakshatras revels that Bharni is a malefic nakshatra that comes under the rulership of Vedic devta Yama and Magha & Jyestha are malefic Mool sanjyaka nakshatras so the benefic yogini Bhadrika ruled by Mercury is the ruler of three malefic nakshatra ruled by it out of four nakshatras.

 While predicting Bhadrika yogini dasha following guidelines, based on my experience & research in the field of Vedic jyotish for more than three decades, must be followed:

 

√ If Bharini nakshatra is occupied by a natural malefic planet, maraka planet, malefic upagraha such as Gulika, Maandi, Mrityu, Kalvela, Parivesh or Upaketu etc., badhaka planet or a planet ruling the third, fifth or seventh nakshatra from the birth nakshatra then this Bhadrika yogini will give adverse results regarding health.

 √ If Magha nakshatra is occupied by a planet forming dhana yoga, sampatti yoga or rajyoga then the native will get wealth, sampatti or rajyoga on account of the grace of his parents or forefathers in the Bhadrika yogini dasha.

 √ If Jyestha nakshatra is occupied by a well disposed Mars or Sun, a well disposed third lord or a well disposed tenth lord then the native gets exaltation, courage and professional success in Bhadrika yogini dasha.

 √ Anyone of the Bhadrika’s nakshatras if occupied by the planet ruling the nakshatras other than the rulers of third, fifth or seventh nakshatra from the birth nakshatra then Bhadrika yogini gives auspicious results. 

 √ Anyone of the Bhadrika’s nakshatras if occupied by the planet ruling the third, fifth or seventh nakshatra then Bhadrika yogini gives adverse results regarding health. 

 √ Anyone of the Bhadrika’s nakshatras if occupied by the badhaka planet gives obstacles in profession, health problems and some unknown troubles.

 √ If any nakshatra owned by Bhadrika is occupied by a well disposed Sun, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, Rahu or Ketu then the Bhadrika yogini dasha will increase highness, strength, behavioral approaches, inner joy, abilities to introspect, materialistic approaches or spiritual approaches respectively.

 √ The nakshatra occupants of Bhadrika also display their results, according to their positions in varga charts, in Bhadrika dasha. This is also very important to understand.

 √ In any good vinshottri dasha if Bhadrika yogini starts and ends then almost the entire period of Bhadrika will prove prosperous & memorable even if the Bhadrika’s nakshatras are unoccupied.

“My Experiences With Various dasha” - An article written by Vishal Aksh

 For the timing of events stored in a Vedic horoscope various dasha are used. In Brihit Parashara Hora Shaastra about forty dasha has been dealt with and on the basis of planets, rashi & nakshatra these dasha can be  divided into three major groups given below:

1. Grah dasha.

2. Rashi dasha

3. Nakshatra dasha

Grah dasha are the planetary periods of equal or unequal durations. Vedic muni Parashara mentioned the following as Grah dasha:

1. Kaal hora dasha

2. Anshayurdaya dasha

3. Pindayurdaya dasha

4. Ashtakvargayurdaya dasha

In my experience the kaal hora dasha is found valid in predicting major events stored in natal charts and horary charts. This dasha in natal horoscope gives wonderful results if found in agreement with Vedic annual horoscope.

Anshayurdaya dasha, pindayurdaya dasha and ashtakavargayurdaya dasha were not found valid for predictive purposes in a large number of cases in my experiences. 

The dasha given below are also grah dasha:

1. Sandhya dasha.

2. Grahanusarbhava dasha.

3. Nesargic dasha.

4. Mool dasha

5. Patyanshi dasha

Important notes to follow:

• Sandhya dasha is given in Maansagri and as a grah dasha it is not given in muni Parashara’s works.

• Grahanusarbhava dasha is given in the works of Dr. Narayan Dutt Shrimali. This dasha may have a minimum of fifteen years as the total duration and a maximum of one hundred and two years. This is a very effective dasha.

• Nesergic dasha and Mool dasha are mentioned in Horasara and both of them are also effective dasha for predictive purposes.

• Patyanshi dasha is another grah dasha of total duration of 365.256363 days which is used in Varshphala charts. There are dasha of seven planets and the ascendant excluding Rahu & Ketu in this dasha system. This is a good dasha for predictive purposes in a varshphala chart. 

All the aforesaid grah dasha work well for all the predictive purposes in the following charts:

1. Natal charts

2. Dasha pravesh charts

3. Horary charts

4. Progressed charts

5. Annual charts

Important notes to follow:

• If the dasha lord forms a good or bad combination in a progressed chart or annual chart that combination will bound to give results.

• The sandhya dasha for each planet is twelve years and the total number of years in a sandhya dasha is one hundred and eight years. It is not given in any software.

• The total duration of grahanusarbhava dasha varies from fifteen years to one hundred and two years.

• Patyanshi dasha never works on dasha pravesh charts.

Vedic muni Parashara mentioned a number of rashi dasha in Brihit Parashara Hora Shaastra these dasha are only of rashi or signs only. some of them are as follows:

1. Charaprayay dasha.

2. Mandook dasha.

3. Shoola dasha.

4. Drig dasha.

5. Varnad dasha.

6. Yogardh dasha.

7. Trikon dasha.

8. Niryana shoola dasha.

9. Sthir dasha.

10. Navansh dasha.

11. Sudarshan chakra dasha.

Vedic muni Parashara praised charaprayay dasha a lot and gave valuable rules to predict concerning it. I found that all the aforesaid rashi dasha except sudarshan chakra dasha are not working satisfactory but there are several experts who favor all the rashi dasha.

It is only sudarshana chakra dasha which in my experience found valid for all predictive purposes. The total number of years in a complete cycle is one hundred and twenty years and every rashi is allotted ten years in its dasha. Basically it is the bhava or house dasha but for prediction the rashi existing in  bhava are considered so I placed this under rashi dasha The following are the advantages of this dasha over other rashi dasha according to my experiences:

1. It is easy to calculate and with slight practices it can be calculated mentally.

2. It is possible to time an event for the horoscopes containing only rashi charts.

3. This dasha relates rashi chakra with varga charts.

4. This dasha gives the results of planets placed in it in exaltation, debilitation or own sign in rashi as well as in varga charts.

5. This dasha also gives the results of cancellation of debilitation and vipreet rajyoga of planets occupying it in rashi charts or varga charts.

6. This dasha gives the results of the influence of transitory planets on it.

7. This dasha starts simultaneously from lagna, Chandra lagna and Surya lagna so three are several options for an astrologer to predict.

8. Vedic muni Parashara also termed this dasha as sandhya dasha when it is calculated through lagna only so you can say it is sandhya rashi dasha and earlier described sandhya dasha is sandhya grah dasha.

Nakshatra dasha are calculated by taking into consideration the sidereal longitude of Moon but I found that a nakshatra dasha calculated from the sidereal longitude of the ascendant works well in the timing of events or in other words the nakshatra dasha calculated from the longitude of ascendant is as effective as it is calculated from the longitude of sidereal Moon.  

Vedic muni Parashara described several types of nakshatra dasha and in this context few of them are mentioned below:

1. Vinshotri dasha is the most effective dasha of one hundred twenty years. All events likely to occur in one’s life can be effectively predicted on the basis of this dasha and it is also found valid in my experience of more than three decades in the field of Vedic jyotish. This dasha can be effectively applied to natal, horary and mundane charts so this is one of the universal dasha. This is an amazing and unique dasha.

2. Ashtottri dasha, a conditional dasha of one hundred and eight years, is supposed to be applied if and only if Rahu is in kendra or trikona from lord of ascendant by not occupying the ascendant but I found it as effective as a universal dasha. This nakshatra dasha is of two types. The first type of dasha is Shivadhya or Ardradi and the second type is Kritihadit or Kritikadi. In my experience the Ardradi ashtottri dasha was found valid. This dasha system is found very much effective to time the events of all the spheres of one’s life stored in navansh chart in my experiences. 

3. Shodashottri dasha is also a conditional dasha of one hundred and sixteen years. It is applied only when either in shukla paksha the ascendant falls in solar hora or in krishna paksha ascendant falls in lunar hora. This dasha works well as a conditional dasha but I have found it working well as in case the dasha lord is occupied by at least one planet, upagrah or saham also.

4. Dwadashottri dasha is also a conditional dasha of one hundred and twelve years so it is applied when ascendant falls in the navansh of one of the signs ruled by Venus. Venus dasha never occurs in this dasha system but I have found it working well as in case the dasha lord is occupied by at least one planet, upagrah or saham also.

5. Panchottri dasha is also conditional dasha of one hundred and five years so it is applied when Jupiter occupies sidereal cancer and the dwadashansh of cancer so it is almost a rare condition as it can only applied to those who born when Jupiter occupies Cancer 00° 00’ 01'' to Cancer 02° 30’ 00”  but there are several so called expert who wrongly say that this dasha is applied only if the cancer is the rising sign which falls in the dwadashansh of Cancer. This dasha does not have the dasha of Rahu and Ketu but I have found it working well as in case the dasha lord is occupied by at least one planet, upagrah or saham also.

6. Chatursheetika dasha, a conditional dasha of eighty four years, is applicable only if the tenth lord is in the tenth house. In this dasha system every planet except Rahu and Ketu contribute twelve years each but I have found it working well as in case the dasha lord is occupied by at least one planet, upagrah or saham also. I have found that this dasha works well to predict every event of one’s life from a saptansh chart symbolized nowadays as D7.

7. Dwisaptika dasha a conditional dasha of seventy two years is applicable only if either lord of ascendant is in seventh house or vice versa. This dasha system never allows the Ketu’s dasha so every planet from Sun to Rahu contributes nine years each. I have found that this dasha works well to predict every event of one’s life from a shasthansh chart symbolized nowadays as D6.

8. Shasthhayeeni dasha, a conditional dasha of sixty years, is applicable if the lagna and Chandra lagna are ruled by the same planet but there are several experts who recommend this dasha only when the Moon occupies the ascendant and there are also few who recommend the application of this dasha system only if Sun occupies the ascendant. I have found that this dasha works well to predict every event of one’s life from a cyclic panchmansh chart symbolized nowadays as D5.

9. Yogini dasha, a universal dasha of thirty six years, is a wonderful system to predict all the events. This dasha is found valid in predicting all the good and bad yogas. I have found that a fresh horoscope is required after the completion of thirty six years to use this dasha for the next thirty six years.

10. Kaal chakra dasha, a versatile nakshatra dasha of rashi, is only dasha under nakshatra dasha which is of rashi. This is a universal dasha and also gives amazing results when applied to horary horoscopes too. The deha rashi and jeev rashi are the unique features of this dasha system. It is a very complex dasha so well versed and well experienced astrologers are able to predict on the basis of this dasha. The various gatis appearing in this dasha system when examined properly indicate the time of pragati or progress, durgati or misery or sadgati or death. Here I would like to say that death is the only mystery so it cannot be predicted. One minute change in one’s time shifts this dasha to several months forward or backward so the birth time should be very much accurate so an astrologer who knows the rectification of birth time can be able to predict on the basis of this dasha. I use this dasha to rectify one’s birth time astrologically.    

Important notes to follow:

1.  In 1995 I started judging the horoscopes by taking into consideration various dasha and also used both the universal and conditional dasha to every horoscope and what I found then was amazing Ashttotri dasha was found to be applicable to every horoscope though it was described as conditional dasha in Brihit Parashara Hora Shaastra. In the similar way shodashootri, dwadashottri & dwisaptika dasha were also found applicable to several cases without any condition of their application.

2. At that time I became totally confused about the stability of the conditional dasha. But I found that those conditional dasha worked as a support to Vinshottri dasha. I gave many successful predictions by considering these Conditional dasha as Universal dasha.

3. At that time I felt some relief but I did not digest the change in behavior of these conditional dasha but I did not think soon I was going to be in the web of confusions and that very moment was coming nearer and nearer.

4. In 1996 I read in Maansagri, a famous text on Vedic astrology, that ashtottari dasha should be applied to the horoscopes of person born in bright half and vinshottri dasha should be applied to the horoscopes of person born in dark half. So Maansagri made Vinshottri dasha as conditional dasha and it was a nightmare for me. How could a Universal dasha like Vinshottri be a conditional dasha? and in another famous text on Vedic jyotish i.e. Phaladeepika I read that kaal chakra dasha should be applied to the horoscopes of a person having lord of  navansh occupied by the Moon is powerful. I felt at that time as if someone slapped me. Phaladeepika made the universal kaal chakra dasha as conditional dasha and Maansagri did the same with vinshottri dasha whereas in my experience this kaal chakra dasha and vinshottri dasha worked well in horary horoscopes too in addition to natal horoscopes.

5. In 2005 & 2006 I realized that most of the conditional dasha working independently and giving results in most of the cases and then I was able to  known the use use of these conditional dasha as universal dasha as in several cases these dasha gave results not indicated by Vinshottri dasha at first glance. This is well explained in foraging paragraphs written earlier.

6. I then found that if a conditional dasha is applied to a horoscope then it is bound to give results in a general manner but if any conditional dasha not applicable to any horoscope is found to become powerful at a point of time then it is bound to give results irrespective of its conditional applicability and the proper condition for this has been discussed in foregoing paragraphs.

7. The earlier discussed patyanshi dasha having a total duration of 365.256363 days when expanded to 120 years, 116 years, 112 years, 108 years, 105 years, 100 years, 84 years, 72 years, 60 years and 36 years found valid in my experiences to cross check the events indicated by vinshottri dasha, shodashottri dasha, dwadashottri dasha, ashtottri dasha, panchottri dasha, shatabdika dasha, chatursheeti dasha, dwisaptika dasha, shasthhayeeni dasha and Yogini dasha

“Which Is The House Of Father In A Horoscope” - An article written by Vishal Aksh

 

Indian astrology is unanimous, showing the fourth house as the mother's house, but with respect to the father, it appears to be divided into two parts. Some scholars consider the ninth house and some scholars the tenth house as the house of the father. This dispute between the ninth and tenth houses has been going on for centuries till now.

According to Dr. B.V. Raman, the greatest Vedic astrologer of the modern world, only the ninth house of the birth chart should be considered as the house of the father. According to him, the Vedic sage Parashara has directed so.

There was a time when South Indian astrologers considered the ninth house and North Indian astrologers considered the tenth house as the house of father, but now as a result of the increasing influence of South Indian astrologers, almost everywhere, the ninth house of the birth chart is being considered as the house of father.

Generally, the age of the native is more than thirty years, when he presents his birth chart to a qualified astrologer to know about the father. By that time his father generally gets retired. Then the question of that person is only about his father's health.

Imagine that a malefic planet is present in the third house in the birth chart of that person and the antardasha of the same malefic planet is also going on. The astrologer asks the native whether his father's disease has started after the beginning of the antardasha of that malefic planet and That distressed native confirms.

If that astrologer is North Indian then his assessment would be as follows:

The third house is the sixth house when counted from the tenth house, which shows the disease of the father of that person and the presence of the malefic planet there in its antardasha afflicts his father’s health.

If the astrologer is South Indian then his assessment should be something like this:

The third house of the native's birth chart is seventh house when  counted from the ninth house and the seventh house is maraka for the father of that person so the malefic planet present in this house gives disease to the father of that native.

So you see almost the same analysis about the wellbeing of one’s father will be done if you consider ninth house or tenth house as a house of father in a native’s horoscope.

Nowadays, astrologers are often seen giving foolish arguments in favor of the ninth house, but till now no one has made a factual discussion to resolve the dispute of the ninth or tenth house.

If you look at the society, you will know that most of the people seem to be following their fathers, so all the actions performed by them will be affected by the ideologies of their fathers because the tenth house is the house of karma.

Ninth house indicates dharma and guru and the Sanskrit word guru has wider scope to say. Parmatma Shiva is the ultimate guru of anant koti brhnandas so starting from Parmatma to an Acharya all are termed as guru in Vedic literature. The parents are also treated as gurus so on that grounds father also seems to be indicated by ninth house but the mother is supposed to be the first guru for her child so it will be injustice not to consider her as represented by the ninth house so I think all the learned astrologer will think over this.

In Vedic era the academy was considered as an integral part of life and to get that everyone was supposed to get the academy in an institute known as gurukula. In gurukula the acharya or teacher acted as a father figure and the diksha or the secret mantra given by acharya was treated as the mother figure for every shishya or student. So both diksha as well as acharya were accepted as mother and father in the entire academic session in every Vedic gurukula. If you know Vedic jyotish then you will easily understand that both deeksha as well acharya are indicated by the ninth house. Deeksha is an abstract with no human identity so its human form is taken as the form of acharya and that is why the acharya was considered as mother & father for every student in a Vedic gurukula. This Vedic thought does not appear recommending the ninth as the house of the biological father.

A valuable comparison of prides of upadhyaya, acharya, father and mother has been given in Vedic literature and the summary of that has been given below:

The one who teaches Veidic vidya for livelihood is an upadhyaya and he is honorable. But the pride of an acharya is ten times more than that of upadhyaya. The pride of father is thousand times more than that of Upadhyaya and hundred times more than that of acharya and the pride of mother is ten lakhs more than upadhyaya, one lakh times that of acharya and thousand times more than that of father.

Source: Bhavishya Purana

So from above it is evident that the status of father is one thousand times more than that of acharya and the status of mother is one lakh times more than that of an acharya. There is no dispute or controversy that the fourth house signifies mother and the ninth house signifies acharya. The fourth house is one of the kendra houses and Moon the significator of mother gets directional strength in this fourth house and the ninth house signifying an acharya is one of the apoklima houses. In Vedic jyotish a kendra house is always stronger than an apoklima house so the valuation of the father doesn’t seem satisfying the ninth house. Which clearly means that the status of the father is also satisfied in a kendra house like that of the mother.

Vedic jyotish is based on common sense and Vedic knowledge. In this modern world too the parents always tolerate the unfair behavior of their child up to any extent whereas a teacher tolerates the unfair behavior of a student up to a limit and exceeding of which his recommendations would be to expel that student from the teaching institute and this expelling of a student on his misconduct comes under dharma indicated by the ninth house. These types of episodes are always seen occurring globally and in terms of jyotish they disfavor the ninth house to be the house of father.

Vedic muni Parashara taught his promising student Maitriya a Sanskrit shloka concerning the ninth house which is given below:

Navamepi piturgyanam Suryach navamethava

Yatkinchiddashme labhe tatsuryaddashme Shive.

Source: Shloka: 141, chapter: Bhavasangya of Brihit Parashara Hora Shastram

The sentence ‘Navamepi piturgyanam’ existing in aforesaid Sanskrit shloka means that the wellbeing of the father should also be judged from the ninth house. The existence of the word ‘also’ in the sentence clearly indicates that there must be a different specific shloka dealing with the allotment of the house of the father in the birth chart.    

The aforesaid Sanskrit shloka is a part of the chapter titling Bhavasangya so this shloka is not a part of the chapter Dwadashbhavnirikshnam or the inspection of twelve houses. The Sanskrit word Bhavsangya means nomenclature of houses. If a Sanskrit shloka concerning father appears in the chapter titling Dwadashbhavnirikshnam then that should be given importance.

The following Sanskrit shloka appears in the chapter Dwadashbhavnirikshnam:

Rajyam chakashvriti ch manam chaiv pitustatha

Pravasasya rinasyapi Vyomsthananirikshnam 

Source: Shloka: 10, chapter: Dwadashbhavnirikshnam of Brihit Parashara Hora Shastram

The Sanskrit word ‘Vyomsthananirikshnam’ existing aforesaid shloka means Vyom’s house or sky’s house or the tenth house and the Sanskrit word ‘pitu’ existing in ‘pitustatha’means the father. So according to this Sanskrit shloka all about the father should be judged from the Vyomsthana or the tenth house. This Sanskrit shloka gives a strong validity to allot the tenth as the house of father.

Jyotish is ancient but the Vedic jyotish is a modern concept in which an astrologer traces the roots of jyotish in Vedas and all its literature. Any rule of jyotish if found in agreement with Vedic knowledge gets its validation. 

The following is the Rigvedic mantra concerning the mother, father, Prithvi or earth and Vyoma or sky:

Madhuno Dyava Prithvi Mimikshitam Madhushruchuta Madhu Dudhe

Madhuvrate. Dyoscha Prithvi ch pinvatam Pita Mata.

Source: Mantra: 6.70.5 - 6, Rigveda.

The Sanskrit word Prithvi existing in aforesaid Vedic mantra means the earth and Dyo stands for Vyoma or sky. The line ‘Dyoscha Prithvi ch pinvatam Pita Mata’ clearly indicates that the sky is the father and the earth is the mother for all human beings.

In the first shloka Vedic muni called the house of father as Navam or the ninth house but while allotting the tenth house to father the great muni Parashara called the tenth house as Vyomsthana in the second shloka which means that he also directed us to follow the Rigvedic view about father.

In Vedic jyotish bhumi or land etc is judged from the fourth house and this fourth house also stands for the mother and the tenth house or Vyomsthana stands for the father only.
