Doshas & Yogas

[Guest guest]

Dear listers,

 

I wish to seek advice concerning Doshas in the

following mode.

 

1.What are Doshas generally and how they differ from

yogas?

2.Is the nature of a Dosha permanent or more permanent

than that of a yoga?

3.What is sarpa dosha and how does it come about?

4.What is sarpa yoga (if there is a sarpa yoga)

5.Are there any special conditions like bonus and

maluses if a dosha is paired with a transitory effect

like a sade-saati?

6.What are the methods of appeasing a dosha / yoga and

how lasting their effects are vis-a-vis the dosha.

i.e. if a dosha is permanent (in a natal chart) can

special precautions be taken to ward of its effects

for the entire lifespan of a native or is one expected

to pray at regular intervals esp. in bad transitory

periods).

7.What happens when one is afflicted by a dosha and a

yoga together (is this a possibility?) Does the

presence of a dosha in a natal chart prove to be a

pre-condition for further malady if there is a malefic

yoga forming on the transitory patterns?

8.Roles of Ishta and Kashta Phalas of planets in such

doshas

9.Interactions of Dashas Doshas and Yogas

 

Since I know the question at hand happens to

be one that affects me personally, I would greatly

appreciate the listers learned advice so I can apply

the information in a cse sensitive manner and inform

you of the outcomes so as to hopefully understand

astrology from a subjective viewpoint, rather than an

objective and often clinical view. I've also included

my birth data for the benefit of those who may wish to

adopt the case for study in a more sensitive manner.

Pl. remember, any postings arising may be of immense

help to me to change my life and on a less selfish

note, may actually help all of us understand better

the real time gravity of a situation as is transpiring

with me (so I'm told) now.

 

This may be unconnected but I have been

informed by at least a hundred people about the

visitation of a blacker than most crow in an indoor

location just above where I sit to work, on Fridays

generally and on days preceding darker events. Two

weeks ago, the crow appeared on the day I was supposed

to leave for out of town (which I did) only to learn

my father had fractured his shoulder. Yesterday, on

the day of my return, over 20 people reported the

crows visit a half hour before my arrival in its usual

place on the rafters over my head. I'm not sure this

has relevance, but the people who see this crow warn

me of further danger as it is considered a bad omen.

As for me, on the lowest ebb of of what must be one of

the most fortunate lives one can possibly live, I keep

asking what else could possibly go wrong. Everything

that was once taken for granted is now taken away.

 

Thank You

Normally I'm familiar with "Dosha" pron. Doe-sha as an ayurvedic term,

relating to one's physical constituion as being a mix of fire, air,

water, as in Pitta, Vatta, Kapha.

 

Perhaps you mean "Dasha", which is an astrological term relating to the

periods of life ruled by the various planets, such as in the sentence,

"I'm in Saturn dasha, Jupiter sub period". Those are daw-shas, dashas.

 

So the o and the a may be confused in your question letter.

 

Yes, the visitation of a crow is an omen for Saturnine events, which

include troubles often. At the same time, we should know that God often

first has to strip us of "what is now" so that we can move on. Even

terrible, horrible events in life, are good, in that they are clearing

past karma, or I prefer to say, breaking away attachments, bringing us

to our knees in prayer, and then later in this life and especially the

next, we are cleared of karma, made more humble and spiritual, and we

can then have even better, higher, lives. The higher and finer levels of

consciousness come the more we accept the lessons Saturn is in charge of

delivering. He mainly kills our false egos, more than any other planet.

Though born of the Sun (ego), is opposed to it completely.

 

Those who are surrendered, have no fear of crows. Attachment to wealth

and opulance creates fear of crows as their ways, Saturn's ways, are

more powerful than the protection the opulant side of life can provide,

just as terrorists are hard to detect, so also Saturn, can slip like

water into a crack, and then freeze and break the rock to pieces.

 

Enough preaching, sorry, hard to stop myself.

 

 

1.What are Doshas generally and how they differ from

yogas?

 

 

Dashas are periods planets rule, they last for varying lenghts of time.

You are always in some dasha. They can be building, growing, improving

types or negative types. This is what we use to predict when events will happen.

 

What is promised in the chart, happens when the appropriate dashas run.

If you recently switched dashas from an opulant one to a materially

negative one, that may explain the change in your life.

 

 

 

2.Is the nature of a Dosha permanent or more permanent

than that of a yoga?

 

 

Yogas are combinations in your chart. You have them lifelong. They will

manifest moreso in the dashas of the planets which create the yoga. So

the two are linked. Money is in your wallet, but only when you get to

the store can you spend it. The yoga is in your chart, but only in

certain dashas will it become pronounced.

 

 

3.What is sarpa dosha and how does it come about?

 

I have never heard of this.

 

 

4.What is sarpa yoga (if there is a sarpa yoga)

 

Yes, there are yogas with this name. The "kala sarpa" yoga is caused

when all of one's planets are inbetween Rahu and Ketu on one side of the

zodiac. The idea then is that the nodes, which are somewhat materially

difficult and can be very distressing in their effects often, seem to

have all your planets in their grip, and the idea then is that this is a

negative yoga, as if your life is in the mouth of a serpent, which is

not a great place to live. I do not think that this is the end of the

world kind of thing, but those who have it feel it is somewhat real and true.

 

 

5.Are there any special conditions like bonus and

maluses if a dosha is paired with a transitory effect

like a sade-saati?

 

 

Yes, if you mean "Dasha", then yes, when the dasha running at some point

in your life is a negative one materially, and then some transits come

which are materially negative in the same areas of life, that is when

hard events will come to pass in one's life. Bad dashas and transits are

like being in a bad neighborhood at night, that is when one meets

thieves and other rogues. In the day it might be OK to go there, or at

night it might be OK to go to a good neibhorhood, but if one goes to the

bad area at night, that's the worst idea. So the combination of negative

forces is dangerous, but it happens to all of us eventually.

 

 

 

6.What are the methods of appeasing a dosha / yoga and

how lasting their effects are vis-a-vis the dosha.

i.e. if a dosha is permanent (in a natal chart) can

special precautions be taken to ward of its effects

for the entire lifespan of a native or is one expected

to pray at regular intervals esp. in bad transitory

periods).

 

 

Dashas are up to say 20 years for Venus, 19 for Saturn. Never a whole

life. Some people feel you can take precautions such as yagyas and gems,

but others say one must take to prayer, penence, charity, etc. You have

probably heard of all such things as you live in South India. A

traditional panda/jyotish would look at your chart and recommend so many

things as possibly helpful.

 

My feeling is that it's also good to remember that you are in the hands

of Divinity always, so if Divinity is starting to come down on you hard,

it's also therefore a good idea to try to understand why- knowing that

punishment is ultimately done to you out of love and concern from your

guardian. So if we get the lesson and correct the attitude and behavior,

then the guardian will let up. Fast is though, the periods relate to how

long it takes for us to get it, Divinity is that smart.

 

 

7.What happens when one is afflicted by a dosha and a

yoga together (is this a possibility?) Does the

presence of a dosha in a natal chart prove to be a

pre-condition for further malady if there is a malefic

yoga forming on the transitory patterns?

 

 

I mentioned this above in the bad area/night time example. They do

combine. I have a yoga that harms my children. In the right dashas, both

of my kids have been in serious accidents. Like clockwork. This is

normal Jyotish. Most Jyotishis can predict in these ways, the good and

bad periods of your life.

 

 

8.Roles of Ishta and Kashta Phalas of planets in such

doshas

 

 

Though these are mentioned, very few Jyotishis use them or understand

them where I live, in America, and I don't understand them yet either.

 

 

9.Interactions of Dashas Doshas and Yogas

 

As stated, they interract. How is a very huge science, basically, that's

a major portion of what we study in Jyotish. Actually ever planetary

combination is a yoga, and dashas are a key predictive tool and part of

Jyotish. You are on the right track definitely therefore, if you are

aiming to know the map of your karma in this life.

 

 

Peace and Love to you,

He could be talking about doshas as in "Kuja Dosha"?

 

Vinod

[Guest guest]

Dear Shri Das & shri Vinodbhai

 

I mean Doshas and not Dashas (aka Dasa) which is period. I am

referring to as Vinodbhai said "Kuja" Dosha, "Shani" Dosha, "Naga"

Dosha, etc.,

 

The part about negative+negative is more clear to me now. I figure

the cure has to be in proprtion to the malady, so I'll for the moment

think likewise. Traditionally, a short cure may offer symptomatic

relief, a medium term cure may suppress the malady for a longer time,

but is again subject to continuing remedial measures and the best bet

is to reorganize your lifde, for eg. a person with a permanent

disability learns to readjust by accepting and changing his life inh

synchronicity.

 

Thank you

Om Gurave Namah--------------------------Dear Ajay,

DOSHA

For the benefit of all, let me clarify that dosha has a "DOUBLE" meaning in

Vedic Astrology. Pronounced Doe-sha, it can mean

 

(a) one (or more) of the humors predomination the human constitution as Vata,

Pitta, Kapha etc, used in Ayurveda (an Upaveda which is Vedic Medicine

actually) and Jyotish also (refer BPHS), or

 

(b) The errors in our Karmic constitution that have led to this birth i.e. the

predominant blunder we made in the last birth or so that has caused us to

return to this planet and suffer the experience. This is normally defined as a

CURSE. Among all the Avatar of Vishnu, Rama had the curse of Narada and hence

had to suffer loss of spouse etc in the incarnation. I have given considerable

details in my book Vedic Remedies in astrology. Here are some extracts:

 

EXTRACTS FROM VEDIC REMEDIES

Page- 16: References galore in the sacred literature where even the most

evolved souls have to undergo punishment until deliverance. For example, two

demi-Gods had to reincarnate as Arjuna trees due to their misconduct of

appearing nude in front of a sage and when the period of punishment ended, baby

Krishna delivered them from the misery[1]. Thus, if a chart is under the curse

of a sage, the deliverance is achieved by worshipping Sri Krishna in his baby

form. In this manner, the intelligent jyotish[2] can learn the remedial

measures from the sacred literature.

Page -75: Curse of past Birth

The deep-rooted problems have been explained in the Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra

where the curses that cause delay or denial in childbirth are indicated. These

can also be suitably extended to other houses. The principle is that the house,

its Lord as well as its natural significator should all be afflicted either

together or separately by malefics. These are as follows:

Curse of a Brahmin (Jupiter):

Jupiter indicates Brahmins & priests. Affliction of Jupiter by Saturn and Mars

or by Rahu indicates the curse of a Brahmin (Priest or spiritual person) in the

last birth. The houses owned by Saturn shows the area of trouble. A Brahmin will

also fulfill the curse of a Brahmin, although he would be of very bad

temperament and nature. Remedy lies in Chandrayana[1] Vrata (fasting) and

donation of cows, five gems and some gold.

Chart 0.3Bhagawan Sri Ram

Chart 3.3 is the horoscope of Bhagawan Sri Ramchandra. Jupiter is the ninth Lord

(Guru) in Lagna with the Moon showing a powerful Gajakesari Yoga as well as

Hamsa Mahapurusha Yoga. The presence of other exalted planets in quadrants also

constitutes powerful Mahapurush Yoga like Ruchak (Mars) and Sasa (Saturn),

besides Dharma Karmadhipati yoga etc. Yet anyone who has read the Ramayana will

see how much suffering Bhagawan had to undergo in this incarnation. Thus, the

presence of a curse can mar the fructification of a Rajyoga. Jupiter is

aspected by Saturn and Mars showing the curse of a Brahmin[2]. Since Jupiter is

in Lagna, Sri Ram had to undergo this suffering. The houses owned by Saturn

indicate the aspect of life where the suffering will occur. Here, Saturn is the

Lord of the 7th and 8th houses and the seventh house is stronger to indicate the

problem area as marriage/married life. Ravana the Lanka King abducted his wife

Sri Sita and they had to undergo untold suffering leading to the death and

destruction of the Demon King. Ravana was a Brahmin by birth (but not by

Karma). Bhagawan Sri Ram worshipped Lord Shiva at Rameshwar (just before the

battle with Ravana) and was redeemed from the curse.

Curse of Serpents (Rahu):

Please read the book for more details if you find this helpful.

 

Ajay you need to FAST on full Moon days and worship Satya Narayana.

[1] Sri Krishna is the lunar incarnation of Maha Vishnu the Universal soul as

explained by Parasara in the Brihat Parasara Hora Shastra.

[2] Jyotish: Astrologer

[1] Instead of Chandrayana Fast, worshipping Lord Shiva on Mondays is a definite

method of getting relief from the curse of a Brahmin.

[2] As per tradition, Devarshi Narada was struck by the arrow of his younger

brother Kama Devata (God of Love) and wanted to marry which amounted to

breaking his solemn promise of celibacy. Sri Narayana (Vishnu) turned his face

into that of a monkey and the bride rejected him. Learning about this, Narada

flew into a rage and cursed Narayana that He too would have to suffer the loss

of His beloved Sri Lakshmi. In order to fulfill the words of His ardent Devotee

as well as to establish Dharma the Lord incarnated as Sri Ram.
