Principles of Ashtakvarg


Book Description

Our ancient sages (Rishis) have introduced such a fine method in Horashastra that can help us find out the benignity and malignity of planets and their influence on the life of mankind. They produced a system that can be helpful in finding out the lines and points. The system is called Ashtakavarga. By this system it is easy to find the good and evil effects of the deeds of a man. Even a learned and well-educated astrologer cannot attain the desired success without the knowledge of Ashtakavarga. It is not possible to find out the benefic and malefic results caused due to the merits and demerits of the horoscope of a person without the knowledge of Ashtakavarg. The author of this book had started studying the system some twenty years back and came to the conclusion that there is no system better than this that could make an accurate prediction. By Ashtakavarga, all the malefic and benefic outcome of the deeds of a man can be found out scientifially. With the help of this system a minute prediction can be cast. A fine theory of the relation between individual and society is applicable on this system. There can be some differences on the results predicted by Vimshothari and transit on the basis of planets and houses, on signs and ascendants. In these circumstances, how can a true prediction be made? That is why, the ancient astrologers have advised to use the Ashtakavarga system. It is very hard to find out the effects, time and nature of a planet by the common theories of Falit, but by this system, this is possible. For instance, a planet will enhance the influence related to its own house if it is conjoined with or aspected by benefic planets while situated in own, exalted or friendly sign. This is a widely accepted theory. But the question is what enhancement will take place in the sphere of the said aspect by that particular planet i.e. what will be the ratio of the benefic and malefic results? It is in this regard that the Ashtakavarga system is considered to be very authentic and decisive. With its help, prediction regarding the ratio of gains, auspicious directions, gains from brothers, results of planets in transit etc. and the age, wealth, education, wisdom, relation between husband and wife, happiness, property, land, vehicle and deeds of a man can be made easily.




Varshphal (Annual Predication)


Book Description

Parashari Jaimini and Tajik are the three most popular systems of Vedic Astrology. Parashar gives more importance to the planets while Jaimini considers the rashis to be more important. Tajik is mainly used in Prashna Shastra and in Varshaphal. Tajik diverts slightly always from the main stream of the traditional methods and employs newer techniques of Astrology. 'Tajik Neelakanthi', of Acharya Neelakantha, which was composed in the 16th century AD, is the base of Taik Jyotish. This does not mean that Varshaphal and Prashna techniques were not practised in vedic Astrology before this. 'Uttar Kalamrit' of Kalidas mentions and describes the computation of Varshaphal dasha which is different from the 'Mudda dasha' of Varshaphal. Apart from this, 'Shat Panchashikha' of Prithyushyas is the established classic of Prashna Shastra, which was composed centuries before 'Tajik Neelakanthi'. Ancient Kairaleeya Jyotish is also well known for considering Prashna to be their main technique. The influence of Greek and Arab culture is clearly seen on the word 'Tajik'. Arrival of the invaders from Western Asia initiated the exchange of culture between India and West Asia. This exchange introduced some newer techniques to our Vedic Astrology. One of these techniques was Tajik. This has been marked as the beginning of Tajik jyotish. Tajik word does not belong to Sanskrit. There are different opinions regarding this issue. Some scholars consider it to be a distorted from of the word 'Jatak'. Another view is that meaning of Tajik is a horse in Turkish and Persian language. The speed of this technique has been compared to that of a horse and for this reason it has been named Tajik. In any case the influence of Mohammedans on this knowledge is very clear. This is also confirmed by the other words of Tajik, namely mudda, muntha, sahams and the names of the Tajik yogas like Ithasal, Ikkabal, Ishraf, nakta, radda and khallasar etc. Moving at the average speed of 1° per day, Sun completes one round of the Zodiac in one year. For casting the annual horoscope we select the time when Sun reaches the longitude of the natal Sun. The horoscope cast for that date and time becomes the annual horoscope and the Varshaphal is decided on the basis of this horoscope. In a similar manner prediction for any year of the person's life can be given on the basis of the annual horoscope. In other words the annual horoscope is based on the longitude of the natal Sun and not on the date and time of birth. This also means that the date, day and time of the annual horoscope is generally different from that of the birth horoscope.

Prediction through Dasha System


Book Description

Prediction through Dasha System is the chief objective of Predictive Astrology. Maharshi Parashar has mentioned 43 types of Dashas in his "Brihat Parashar Hora Shastra". Here in this book the Vimshottari Dasha has been mentioned elaborately in particular, which is used extensively. Besides, the Ashtottari and Yogini Dashas have also been narrated briefly. Vimshottari Dasha system is based on constellation. This system is used throughout India and recognized by all. It is based on the lordship of planet. The native can have result according to the house of which the planet is the lord. So, it is essential to know the Karakatva of the house and the merit of the lord of it. The book has been composed keeping in view the problems of the students of All India Federation of Astrologers' Societies on the inspiration of Mr. Arun Kumar Bansal. This book explains the method of prediction on the basis of Dasha in any easy to understand manner. A learned astrologer has to make study of the three different parts of a horoscope - 1. Yoga, the combination of planets and Lords, 2. Period-sub-period i.e. dasha, 3. Gochar that is, transit. All the three parts are the supplements of each other. Yoga is most important among all the three parts. Period-sub-period i.e. dasha may prove to be futile if there is no Yoga in a horoscope. For example, Period-sub-period that of Lord of fifth house or of Karaka planet cannot bless a native with a child if there is no Santan Yoga in his horoscope. Likewise, Gochar too cannot do anything if there is no Yoga in a horoscope. So, all the three parts are essential to have the result.




Mundane Astrology


Book Description

This book is written with the objective of understanding fundamentals of Mundane Astrology which are used to make predictions about nation, politics, whether, crops and natural calamities. Mundane Astrology is a branch of astrology where good-bad results and events of villages, cities, provinces, countries, health of people, financial, social and political situations, things, weather, earthquakes, winds-storms, natural calamities, contagious diseases, relationships of nations, crops etc are analysed. The financial, social and political situation of a country or province is sometimes very stable and sometimes it is totally fluid. The growth of a plant is not always the same although the land, seeds, fertilizer, water etc are same. During one year the production is sufficient while in another year it is poor in spite of good inputs. On one part of earth there are natural calamities, agonies, turmoils. At the same time at another part there is peace and progress. These phenomenons indicate that there in definitely some reason behind this mystery that at one place there is prosperity at one time but all of a sudden it is engulfed by strife. During one year the rains are heavy causing floods but in next year there is drought. Occasionally a commodity becomes expensive all of a sudden and sometimes its prices remain low for a long time. The knowledge of all these matters is obtained from Mundane Astrology. As there are elections on earth for selection of prime minister etc for establishment of a democratic government and qualifications abilities of elected persons influence the areas ruled by them, in the same manner every year a celestial council is formed by planets to run the world. In celestial council apart from king and minister there are 10 lords of 4 months crop, winter crops, weather and rains, juices, trades, metals, treasure, security and fruits-flowers. This book has been written after going through books compiled by great scholars who were capable of knowing the happenings of 3 worlds such as Garg Samhita, Vrihatsamhita, Varahisamhita, Narpatirjayach, Savatsari Paddhati, Varshprabodh, Ardhmartand, Ardhprakash etc.

Krishnamurty Paddhati


Book Description

Krishnamurti Paddhati is an excellent system (Paddhati) of astrological predictions conceived & created by The Great Indian Astrology King, late Prof. K.S. Krishnamurti. As you must have experienced that accuracy of the time period of the events is difficult when one uses Traditional/Vedic or any other system. KP can give you a precise YES or NO answer astrologically to your questions. To overcome the above and similar short-comings of the conventional vedic system, KP comes as savior. The position of a planet either benefic or malefic covers a large domain of 30° within a Rasi. K.P. system tends to evolve a system by which the operation of a particular planet in a Rasi, is determined by just not its placement but by the constellation it travels and the sub lord it is positioned in. All planets moving from Vernal Equinox Aries according to the Nirayana system get their results modified as they move in the Zodiac. Thus in the first 13°20’ any planet transiting in Mesha will be influenced by the constellation called Aswini and so on till Revathi in which the planet will be influenced by Mercury. As the duration of the zone 13°20’ for each Nakshatra is a broad zone, they are further classed into nine parts in proportion to their duration as per their Vimshotri Dasa. This is termed as the sub-lord. Normally, Jupiter, Venus, affiliated Mercury and waxing Moon are termed as natural benefics while Sun, Mars, Saturn, Rahu & Ketu as malefics. But in KP it is determined by sub lord planet is posited in. 1. The planet in a constellation will offer the result of Bhava house occupied by the lord of the constellation. 2. The planet which is situated in a constellation is the strongest to offer the results of the house occupied by the lord of the constellation.. 3. The occupants of a house is strong to give the results of the house occupied by it. Planets in the constellation of the occupants of a Bhava will indicate the fruits of the Bhava. 4.Planet deposited in the constellation of the lord of the sign where the cusp of a house falls. 5. Then only the lord of the sign where the cusp of a house falls. The above form the various significators for the determination of a particular event. Only the conjoined planets of the above should be utilised for determining the end result. Hence it may be concluded that the planet is the resource, constellation indicates nature of the result and the sub is a deciding factor whether the matter is favourable or not. Unless the last is favourable we do not call it a benefic. Note:- Rahu & Kethu are Nodes. A node signifies firstly the results of the planet or planets with which It Is conjoined, then the results of lord of the constellation in which It is deposited, then the planet or planets aspecting it and lastly of the owner of the sign in which it is deposited.
