Dear Narasimha,

Since I am sending this to the lists firstly, dear members please do not lose

sleep on these papers. Read them and send your questions for the Serbia and

other conferences where I can answer them.

Narasimha,

I have uploaded the notes/handout for the Kalachakra dasa at the website

http://srath.com/conf/2005/ The specific link is at

http://srath.com/conf/2005/K%e4lacakra%20das%e4.pdf This is a large 680 KB file

and can take some time to download. You will be happy to read it and I hope when

you have the time, will make a simple Kalachakra dasa calculator for each of the

eight methods -

Starting of dasaOption (A) Full cycle fraction where the Moon position is

considered like in Vimsottari and other Udu dasa, andOption (B) First dasa

fraction where the Moon position in pada reflects the fraction of first

dasa.Dasa ProgressionOption 1.Regular progression method: the first daçä of the

next nakñatra pada irrespective of everything like Vimçottari daçä. For example

if the fourth quarter of Satabhiçaj is completed then the daçä progresses to

the first quarter of Pürva Bhadrapada nakñatra. This method which is popular in

North India completely violates the cakra including both savya/apasavya order as

well as left/right foot showing utter lack of understanding of Kälacakra

daçä.Option 2.Same nakñatra method: the next pada in the same nakñatra. The

method assumes that the four quarters of a nakñatra are in a cyclic order of 36

daçä which must repeat. This method violates the cakra as it is possible that

after finishing the last daçä of Aries (Satabhiçaj Pada-4 Moon) in an Uttara

cakra, the daçä progresses to another Uttara cakra which is not

permissible.Option 3. Nakñatra Pada Iteration method: the first daçä in the

same nakñatra pada i.e. the daçäs repeat. This method which is popular in South

India at least respects the savya/apasavya nature of the daçä but violates the

cakra. For example after finishing the last daçä of Aries (Satabhiçaj Pada-4

Moon), the next order of daçä is again Sg Sc Li Vi Le Cn Ge Ta Ar. This

confirms the apasavya nature of the daçä but violates the cakra as the daçä

should have progressed from Uttara cakra to Dakñiëa cakra giving the subsequent

order Sg Cp Aq Pi Ar…etc.Option 4. Chakra continuity method: the next pada in

the same group order respecting the savya/apasavya and right/left footed

nature. This is based on the movement of the daçä in the dakñiëa and uttara

cakra. In simpler words, the two cakra – savya (dakñiëa cakra) and apasavya

(uttara cakra) are the controlling factors. For example, Satabhiçaj belongs to

the apasavya - right footed group. Its four quarters follow the three cakra in

the order of savya-apasavya-savya or dakñiëa – uttara- dakñiëa. The next cakra

that must follow is uttara and this gives the subsequent order Sg Cp Aq Pi

Ar…etc. If Satabhiçaj belongs to the right foot then the next step should be

with the left foot. Thus we are left with no other option but to choose the

Rohiëé group (apasavya - left foot). [sanjay Rath]Thus 2 X 4 = 8 types of KCD

and unless we have some easy calculator this is too cumbersome to do on a few

hundred charts. You can give this responsibility to anyone else if you so

desire.I have also uploaded the paper on Amätyakäraka for the Serbia

conference. This can also be downloaded and is large 600 KB file. I want your

views on this at anytime in the future. Since you are working on TP charts,

this maybe very helpful.The specific link is
