OHM SHRI RAGAVENDRAYA NAMAH

JAYA JAGANNATHA

Namaste Jyotisha,

We are preparing the initial lessons on various topics. Soon, we will have them.

Meanwhile, you can ask any astrological related questions and you can share your

views and ideas among us.

In any subject, basic is important, especially in subjects like Jyotish. Even

though we read many books, some of the techniques are not possible to explain

in detail in a book. For example, in all texts divisional chart preparation is

given. We will use our mathematical knowledge and we will spend some time and

find out where each planet is falls in each divisional chart. We do it for the

1st time and we will rely on the software for the rest of our life.

But, in India, many Jyotishas not even use calculators for the calculations. In

many Jatakas, only Nakshatra padas occupied by a planet will be given. With

that information, people cast the Rasi and Navamsa chakra. If any of the

Jyotisha from SJVC or Varahamihira visits a village and claims that he is from

SJVC and if the Village Jyotisha gave this pada information and ask the SJVC

student he must be able to draw the chart without any reservation. That is why

our Gurudeva used to tell us to draw the chart by hand and cross verify with

computer. But, many of us are not doing so. We have to prepare the charts and

dasas manually in the beginning.

Now, as far as the Nakshatra and pada calculation, you could have got from any

standard book. But I will briefly explain. We have 27 Nakshatras. Each

Nakshatra has 4 padas. So, there are 108 padas in total. Each rasi has 9 padas.

For example, in Aries - 4 padas of Ashwini, 4 padas of Bharani, and 1 pada of

Krithika. Next in Taurus - 3 padas of Krithika, 4 padas of Rohini and 2 padas

of Mrigasra. It continues in a similar manner. Now, 9 padas multiplied by 12

signs, we will have 108 padas. So, all these padas will completely fill all the

12 signs.

Coming to Navamsa calculation. The standard definition is :

The Navamsa calculation are for a movable rasi from there itself, for a fixed

rasi from the 9th thereof and for a dual rasi from the 5th thereof.

When we apply Nakshatra pada, the definition is simple: Ashwini onwards, each

pada occupies one sign in Navamsa chakra starting from Aries. That means, 1st

pada of Ashwini falls in Aries Navamsa, 2nd pada of Ashwini falls in Taurus

Navamsa, 3rd pada of Ashwini falls in Gemini Navamsa, 4th padas of Ashwini

falls in Cancer Navamsa, 1st pada of Bharani falls in Leo Navamsa......1st pada

of Kritika falls in Sagitarius Navamsa. With this, dividing Aries rasi into

various Navamsa is over. Now, the starting pada in Taurus is 2nd pada of

Kritika. This will fall in Capricorn Navamsa, 3rd pada of Kritika falls in

Aquarius Navamsa. So, the cycle of pada rotates in the Navamsa in similar

manner.

Here is a small exercise based on pada.

 

1. Prepare the Rasi and Navamsa chakra or chart for the following Nakshatra pada information.

 

Ascdt - Aasresha - 3rd pada

Sun - Anuradha - 1st pada

Moon - Uttarashada - 3rd pada

Mars - Poorva Phalguni - 1st pada

Mercury - Anuradha - 3rd pada

Jupiter ® -Rohini - 2nd pada

Venus -Poorvashada - 3rd pada

Saturn -Aasresha - 2nd pada

Rahu -Moola - 4 pada

Ketu -Aardra - 2 pada

 

2. List the corresponding Nakshatra padas which will fall in the same Navamsa of

the above planets. For example, in the Aries Navamsa, 1st pada of Ashwini,

Rohini, Punarvasu, Magam, Hastam, Vishakam, Moola, Shravana, Purva Bhatrapada,

will fall.

 

3. What are the padas which will give Vargottama status?

1. d-1 & d-9 signs from Nak-Padas: Note while I HAVE used a computer to

calculate, it is an easy calculation as per following formulae which I cd

hv done mentally if faced with such a situation in a village. In both

formulae below, expunge multiples of 12 to get sign from Ar= 1:

|----+-----+--------+------+----------+------+--------+----|

|Plnt|Nak |Nak no= |Pada= |X= (N-1) |D-9 |X/9 rdd |D-1 |

| | |N |P |*4+P | |up | |

|----+-----+--------+------+----------+------+--------+----|

|Lg |Ashl | 9| 3| 35|Aq | 3.9|Cn |

|----+-----+--------+------+----------+------+--------+----|

|Sn |Anu | 17| 1| 65|Le | 7.2|Sc |

| | | | | | | | |

|----+-----+--------+------+----------+------+--------+----|

|Mn |UAsh | 21| 3| 83|Aq | 9.2|Cp |

| | | | | | | | |

|----+-----+--------+------+----------+------+--------+----|

|Ma |PPha | 11| 1| 41|Le | 4.6|Le |

| | | | | | | | |

|----+-----+--------+------+----------+------+--------+----|

|Mc |Anu | 17| 3| 67|Li | 7.4|Sc |

| | | | | | | | |

|----+-----+--------+------+----------+------+--------+----|

|JpR |Roh | 4| 2| 14|Ta | 1.6|Ta |

| | | | | | | | |

|----+-----+--------+------+----------+------+--------+----|

|Ve |PAsh | 20| 3| 79|Li | 8.8|Sg |

| | | | | | | | |

|----+-----+--------+------+----------+------+--------+----|

|St |Ashl | 9| 2| 34|Cp | 3.8|Cn |

|----+-----+--------+------+----------+------+--------+----|

|Ra |Mool | 19| 4| 76|Cn | 8.4|Sg |

| | | | | | | | |

|----+-----+--------+------+----------+------+--------+----|

|Ke |Ard | 6| 2| 22|Cp | 2.4|Ge |

| | | | | | | | |

|----+-----+--------+------+----------+------+--------+----|

 

 

2. Every 12th Pada from it= same pada no in every 4th Nak from it in both

directions. So, grouping all 27 naks in 3 groups spaced 4 apart, & putting

the nativity's planets on top in the group it belongs, we get:

|------------+------------+------------|

|Jp, Ra |Sn, Mc, Ma, |Lg, St, Mn, |

| |Ve |Ke |

|------------+------------+------------|

|Ashvini |Bharani |Kritika |

|------------+------------+------------|

|Rohini |Mrigashira |Ardra |

|------------+------------+------------|

|Punarvasu |Pushya |Ashlesha |

|------------+------------+------------|

|Magha |Purva |Uttara |

| |Phalguni |Phalguni |

|------------+------------+------------|

|Hasta |Chitra |Swati |

|------------+------------+------------|

|Vishakha |Anuradha |Jyeshtha |

|------------+------------+------------|

|Mula |Purva |Uttara |

| |Ashadha |Ashadha |

|------------+------------+------------|

|Shravan |Dhanistha |Satabhishak |

|------------+------------+------------|

|Purva |Uttara |Revati |

|Bhadrapad |Bhadrapad | |

|------------+------------+------------|

 

So, for Lg's nvm= Aq, the THIRD Pada of all in the 3rd group, ie in Krit,

Ardra upto Revati wd be in Aq. For St's nvm= Cp, the SECOND Pada of all in

the same above 3rd group wd also be in Cp.

 

3. Vargottam: 1/5/9 padas of Char/Sthir/Dwi signs respectively. Tried to

check which padas of the Naks, but this is an easier way
