Guest guest Posted May 21, 1999 Report Share Posted May 21, 1999 Dear Friends, This is the Moola dasa as I have taught to some of my selected students. This is for all from now on.

A dasa called "Moola dasa" is referred to by Kalyana Verma. This is a variation of Vimsottari dasa. Dasas of planets in quadrants from lagna will run first, in the order of decreasing strength. Then dasas of planets in panapharas will follow and then apoklimas (again take all the planets in panaphara and them in the decreasing order of strength). Dasa years are "normal Vimsottari dasa years minus a correction factor". Correction factor is 0 if a planet is in its moolatrikona. If not, distance from the planet to its moolatrikona will give the correction factor. If the planet is exalted, 1 year is added to the correction factor. The first example of this dasa that Sanjay taught me belongs to Lord Sri Rama! As per tradition, he has Moon and Jupiter in Cancer lagna (Moon in first 3.33 degrees), Saturn in Libra, Mars in Capricorn and Sun in Aries. So their dasas will run first. Because Moon and Jupiter are in a sign with 2 planets, their dasas will run first. Moon is stronger and his dasa will run first, Jupiter dasa next and Saturn dasa after that. Moon dasa is for 10 years. Next Jupiter dasa is for 10 years, because correction factor is 6-1+1=6 and 16-6=10 (Note: From Cn, Jupiter's moolatrikona Sg is 6th. So correction is 6-1. Add 1 for exaltation). During these 10 years, Rama learnt Vedas etc from his illustrious guru - Brahmarshi Viswamitra. Then Saturn dasa came. From Libra, Saturn's moolatrikona Aquarius is 5th and he is exalted. So the correction factor is 5-1+1=5 years. So Saturn dasa is for 19-5=14 years. Saturn is the exalted 8th lord. So this resulted in Rama's giving up throne and going for 14 years of exile in forests. Due to exalted Mars's argala on Saturn, he had to bravely fight with demons. This dasa system is defined only for the rasi chart, but you can experiment it with divisional charts also. In my software, try the menu item "Moola dasa" under "dasas" and choose the divisional chart you want in the dialog box. I think the program you have is old. I will send you the latest program with a more acceptable method of comparing the strengths of planets. Then experiment with Moola dasa! Try it on many charts and see for yourself how it works! With blessings, Your brother ------------------------------ Narasimha P.V.R.
