Narayana anatradasa Arambha rasi---Clarification

[Guest guest]

Dear learned list members,

I have developed some confusion reg commencement of antradasa in a

narayanadasa due two ststements in two books by jyotishguru sanjay

Rath.Jaimini maharishi's updesha sutras (Page 218--stanza2.4.34) says AD

starts from lord of dasa sign or its 7th house, which means Pakalagna of

dasa rasi or 7th therefrom. the book "Narayana Dasa"(page 40--notes 2) says

find out stronger between dasa rasi&7th therefrom. sign occupied by lord of

stronger of the two signs will start the antradasa.To me it appears that we

may need to reconcile the two.

2.Will the same method apply for calculating AD in Sudasa? And will Sudasa

have the same periods for rasis as caculated for Narayana dasa rasis.

3.My third query is reg Wearing of gems for astrological purposes.The gems

have to touch the skin.But what about Diamond?Jewellers say Diamond can not

be worn touching the skin because it is always cut in a way that it will

pierce through the skin if worn touching the skin.

Any thoughts on these issues please,

Best regards,

Fayyaz

Dear Fayyaz,

 

I think I can help you with your questions re: Narayana dasa:

I don't exactly see the question. Both situations as you describe above,

are exactly the same. Anyway, for AD's (sub-periods) in Narayana dasa (and

many phalita rasi dasas), first find the stronger of the dasa rasi, and the

7th from it. Follow the rules for strengths of signs and planets, in

"Narayana Dasa", by Sanjay Rath. Note that the progression of the

sub-periods, will be forward or reverse zodiacally, depending on whether

the starting sign is odd or even. In case Ketu is in the *stronger of dasa

rasi or its 7th*, reverse the order of the sub-periods. If Saturn is in

the stronger of 1/7 from dasa rasi, then the sub-periods will go forward

always. The lengths of sub-periods, are 1/12 that of the major periods,

and thus are equal in length.

Sudasa sub-periods are an exception to the above. Sudasas run in kendra

from the Sri lagna (going forward or reverse if the Sri lagna is odd or

even respectively). When the first four kendras are covered, then go to

the Panaparas, and proceed in kendras; then finally, go to the Apoklimas,

and finish the kendras from them. The Sudasas always start from the Sri

lagna itself, and not its 7th (if the 7th is stronger). The sub-periods

also start with the dasa rasi, and run in *Kendras from it*, in the same

manner as the major periods. The reasoning for this is, that Laksmi, the

Goddess of Fortune (also called "Sri"), always abides where Her husband

Vishnu is. Since Lord Sri Vishnu always resides in the kendra houses (and

thus rules over them), then Laksmi will stay only in kendras from the Sri

lagna or sub-period sign. Sudasa, is also called "Rasi dasa", and "Sri

lagna kendradi rasi dasa".

 

An Excellent book covering the calculations, and uses of the above dasa

systems, is: "Vedic Astrology - An Integrated Approach", by Narasimha Rao.

The point here, is that Diamond is going to be cut differently for

astrological use, than if for ordinary cosmetic use. The cut for an

astrological usage, should be done with the above in mind.

Dear Robert,

Thanks indeed for your very useful clarification. Can you also please tell me

if Jaimini Rajyogas/yogas are applicable while analysing charts using

Vimshottari dasa.Moreover,can we use rasi drishti for judging aspects, while

using vimshottari dasa?

Best regards,

Fayyaz

Dear Robert,

Sorry for bothering you again, but one small question was left .i.e:-Are

Sudasa major periods of Rasis of the same length as those calculated for

Narayanadasa rasis?

Best regards,

The Raja-yogas you are referring to, involve the combinations of Charak

karakas, by conjunction or *rasi* aspect. At + AMK is one, and AK + PK is

another, for example. Note that in chapter 5 of Jaimini Sutram, the 5th

karaka is named as "Janita", which refers to the father. Thus Pitrikaraka,

according to Jaimini, is the 5th, and so the Putrakaraka will be the 6th

Chara karaka. Anyway, all of rasi aspects and karaka yogas, can be used

with Vimsottari dasa as well, absolutely. A useful technique, is to use

Vimsottari with Narayana or Chara dasa, as the sphere of "Manas", or the

mind, thus comes into proximity with that of the physical and

pre-determined environment, the effects of which are timed through rasi

dasas.

 

Best wishes,

Robert
