Dr. Raman's Chart

[Guest guest]

Namaste Sri Raman,

 

> Following is Dr. Raman's Chart.> > I would invite scholars to discuss about

the longevity aspect.> > Om Tat Sat,> > Raman Suprajarama

 

The data I use is slightly different from what was given by Dr. Raman himself:

 

August 8, 1912, 19:38:00 (IST), 77 E 35' 00", 12 N 59' 00"

I use an ayanamsa close to Chitrapaksha ayanamsa.

 

If one makes the chart as I do, lagna should be in in Mridvamsa in shashtyamsa

(D-60), in Leo. Mercury should be in 4th, Venus and Jupiter in 5th and lagna

lord Sun exalted in 9th, resulting in a brilliant Saraswati yoga in

shashtyamsa. While rasi chart shows the physical existence and various

divisional charts show various environments under which one exists (navamsa:

dharmik environment, dasamsa: professional environment, vimsamsa: spiritual

environment, chaturvimsamsa: educational environment etc), shashtyamsa shows

the sanchita karma that must be experienced in one's lifetime. Physical

existence shown by rasi chart and various environments shown by other

divisional charts are merely the medium through which this karma is

experienced. It is for this reason that Parasara said when listing the matters

to be seen in various divisional charts that all matters should be seen in

shashtyamsa (shashtyamsekhilameekhayet). It is also for this reason that

shahtyamsa has a high weight in vimsopaka bala of dasa varga than rasi and

navamsa together!

 

Shashtyamsa shows the sanchita karma that one has to experience. In Dr. Raman's

D-60, 2nd lord Mercury in 4th in Kshiteesaamsa (kshiteesa=king) shows great

recognition (kshiteesaamsa) for astrological (2nd/Mercury) learning

(4th/Mercury). The same Mercury is taking part in Saraswati yoga.

 

If one makes Moola dasa described by Varahamihira and Kalyana Verma, one will

see that Mercury dasa ran during 1920-1937. It was a period of great learning.

The 10th lord Venus in 5th with 5th lord Jupiter gave fame in astrology during

his dasa (1929-1947). Especially, Venus-Jupiter antardasa (1936-1939) must've

been important for fame (due to raja yoga).

 

Thus, the sanchita karma to be experienced is shown in D-60 and it is the most

important chart. Other charts show the medium through which this karma is

experienced. Moola dasa shows the root cause of whatever happens in one's life

and it can be analyzed using D-60.

 

Anyway, I am digressing. I wanted to point out why I had to slightly alter the

birthdata given by Dr. Raman himself. I have my reasons, based on shashtyamsa

rectification. Now, I will use this data to quickly answer your question.

 

I will use the principle of three pairs given by Jaimini Maharshi. We take (1)

lagna lord and 8th lord (2) Moon and Saturn, (3) lagna and horalagna.

 

Saturn is the 8th lord (Cp is the 8th from Aq using the table of Yavanacharya).

Lagna lord is taken to be Rahu instead of Saturn. Thus, lagna lord is in a dual

sign and 8th lord in fixed. Dual+fixed and movable+movable give long life. So

the first pair shows long life.

 

Moon and Saturn are both in a fixed sign. Fixed+fixed or movable+dual pairs show

short life. So the second pair shows short life.

 

Lagna is in a fixed sign and horalagna in Virgo is in a dual sign. Again the pair shows long life.

 

Two pairs show long life and one pair shows short life. Thus the majority goes

to "long life". This is a long life chart, i.e. 72-108 years.

 

If we use the Shoola dasa of 9x12=108 years, the last khanda (the last 4 signs) give death.

 

Uniform Shoola dasa starts from Leo, as it is strong than lagna. It goes one

sign in every 9 years. The last khanda is Ar-Cn. Out of these, Taurus contains

Arudha Lagna. Thus, Taurus gives death (death occurs when Shoola comes to a

trine from AL). So death occurs in Taurus shoola dasa, i.e. age of 81-90.

 

Taking Taurus as lagna, Sagittarius is the 8th house from it and its lord is in

7th from Taurus. Sg is 8th from AL too. Thus Sg antardasa is a good candidate.

 

Shoola dasa (troubles and death):

 

Ta MD: 1993-08-09 (13:46:59) - 2002-08-09 (21:01:52)

 

Antardasas in this MD:

 

Ta: 1993-08-09 (13:46:59) - 1994-05-07 (19:10:42) Ge: 1994-05-07 (19:10:42) -

1995-02-06 (6:44:48) Cn: 1995-02-06 (6:44:48) - 1995-11-09 (21:47:02) Le:

1995-11-09 (21:47:02) - 1996-08-09 (8:14:48) Vi: 1996-08-09 (8:14:48) -

1997-05-07 (13:31:52) Li: 1997-05-07 (13:31:52) - 1998-02-06 (1:22:16) Sc:

1998-02-06 (1:22:16) - 1998-11-09 (16:13:14) Sg: 1998-11-09 (16:13:14) -

1999-08-10 (2:35:53) Cp: 1999-08-10 (2:35:53) - 2000-05-07 (7:58:47) Aq:

2000-05-07 (7:58:47) - 2001-02-05 (19:49:54) Pi: 2001-02-05 (19:49:54) -

2001-11-09 (10:38:05) Ar: 2001-11-09 (10:38:05) - 2002-08-09 (21:01:52)

 

Of course, there is more to it. The dasa pravesha chakra (DPC=period

commencement chart) of Taurus shoola dasa has Scorpio rising and 7th lord Venus

in 8th. No wonder this Shoola dasa was fatal. Moreover, D-30 (Parasari

Trimsamsa) of this DPC has Jupiter in Pisces lagna afflicted by nodes. All

these factors made the dasa fatal. So many things go together to make an event.

Depending on the level of our knowledge, we can see some of those factors. Great

maharshis knew many more factors than we do. We should try to grasp their

teachings rather than question or dismiss them.

 

The maraka of DPC is Venus (7th lord in 8th). In D-30, he was in Sg. So it was

Sg antardasa. Luckily, we can cast DPC accurately and use it in rasi dasas,

unlike in nakshatra dasas where the dasa sesham is not known accurately.

 

There are many other ayur dasas given by Maharshis. For example, Yogardha dasa

of Leo brought death. Leo is the 7th house containing 3rd and 8th lords and is

clearly a maraka house.

 

Even as per Vimsottari dasa, Venus-Venus antardasa was running. Venus is in 7th.

A strong case comes if you use the Adhana Vimsottari dasa. Rahu antardadsa in

Mercury dasa was running during Dec 1997 to July 2000. Mercury is the 8th lord

in 7th and the strongest maraka (along with Mars, who is the 3rd lord in 7th).

Rahu is a malefic in 2nd. According to Parasara, 2nd house is a stronger maraka

sthana than 7th.

 

Finally, Yogini dasa is a very giood ayur dasa. Though some scholars use Yogini

dasa for all purposes, it is appropriate for seeing death and some other evils

given by Yoginis. Mars-Mercury antardasa ran during Nov 1998-June 1999.

 

Of course, there are many techniques other than transits. I'll give two more

examples before going to sleep:

 

(1) Progressions: There are progressions based on various divisional charts.

Some Bhrigu scholars use 3 deg per year porogression, which is based on

dasamsa. In western astrology, they always use 1 deg per year progression. This

is the trimsamsa based progression and useful only for timing evils.

 

If you use 1 deg per year progression, you will see that Sun was near 20 deg Li

at the time of death. In the natal chart, mrityu sahamam is around 23 deg in

Li. When progressed Sun comes within 3-4 deg from important points, they are

activated. Mrityu sahamam shows death.

 

(2) Annual Tithi Pravesha chakra data is: 19th July 1998, 4:16:46 am (IST). In

this chart, Jupiter is the 7th lord and occupies the 8th from AL. He is the

lord of the 64th navamsa too. Mor5eover, he has a close trinal aspect on mrityu

sahamam. While the 7th lord is strong and afflicted, the 8th lord Saturn is

debilitated and in his mrityu bhaga degree (the 10th degree in Aries is the

death-inflicting or mrityu bhaga degree for Saturn). Thus, Tithi Ashtottari

dasa of Jupiter (19 Nov 1998 to 25 Jan 1999) and Saturn's lagna Vimsottari dasa

(1 Nov-31 Dec 1998) proved fatal.

 

More than being the 8th lord, Saturn was the weekday lord too (note: weekday

changes at sunrise). Out of the five elements of panchanga, vaara or weekday

shows the agni tattva (fiery element) and shows physical strength. If the vaara

lord is weak in a year's annual TPC, there can be health problems or death.

Here, Saturn is vaara lord and 8th lord and he is debilitated and in mrityu

bhaga. The case is clear.

 

Ok, that will be my two cents. I have to sleep now. Good nigth all of you!

 

I will post on elections tomorrow.

May Jupiter's light shine on us,Narasimha
