Kalchakra navamsa

[Guest guest]

Dear Narasimha,

I have never said that the dasha tables be taken as if by magic.I am a

bit confused by what you are saying. The theory of the dasha order

changing merely on account of Nakshatras changing from Savya to

Apasavya , does not hold water if one looks at dasha order of

individual Padas minutely.

I do not find Parashara advising further division of Amsha allotted to

Nakshtra Padas in to nine and allotting linear Nakshatra Padas to them.

However treating it as a viable theory to solve the order of dasha

order, as suggested, even here the explanation offered does not hold

water.

For example, why does order of Rohini 1,2,3,4 i.e."Sc, Li, Vi, Cn," not remain

linear (Apasavya

direction) only in the last Pada (3 to4)? Also according to what haas

been given by Parashara Rohini 4th pada falls in Leo and not Cancer.

And continuing the Apasavya theory further why does another Apasavya

Nakshatra Mrigashira Pada 1 and 2, that follow according to the theory

advanced, turn Savya to Leo and then Apasavya to Gem. in Mandooki gati?

Further Mrigashira 1st pada falls in Cancer and 2nd in Gemini, in

linear fashion. Parashara has specifically given how the Rasi Padas are

to be allotted to Dwadasha Rasi Chakra.

If my memory does not fail me, Parashara specifically states that the

Rasi that is occupied by a Nakshatra pada is to be treated as its

Navamsha.

Please correct me if I have not understood how Nakshatra Padas are to

be allotted to Dwadasha Rasi Chakra as indicated by Parashara.

Chandrashekhar.

This is what I have been saying all

along. As long as you treat the dasa cycle tables as some magic, you

have not understood Kalachakra dasa and you can make a mistake or two.

The key is to understand the logic behind the tables.

 

I tried to address this in some of

my previous mails.

 

The dasa cycle of Aswini 1st pada

(i.e. Aries amsa) is Ar, Ta, Ge, Cn, Le, Vi, Li, Sc and Sg, because

there are the kalachakra navamsas (or just navamsas) of the nine

nakshatra padas in Aries (Aswini 1, 2, 3, 4, Bharani 1, 2, 3, 4,

Krittika 1).

 

The dasa cycle of Aswini 2nd pada

(i.e. Taurus amsa) is Cp, Aq, Pi, Sc, Li, Vi, Cn, Le and Ge, because

these are the kalachakra navamsas of the nine nakshatra padas in Taurus

(Krittika 2, 3, 4, Rohini 1, 2, 3, 4, Mrigasira 1, 2). The first 3

signs in the dasa cycle go zodiacally, because they are padas of

Krittika (a savya nakshatra). The anti-zodiacal progression starts from

Rohini 1st pada, because Rohini is an apasavya nakshatra. Aswini,

Bharani and Krittika are savya nakshatras. Rohini, Mrigasira and Ardra

are apasavya nakshatras.

 

Kalachakra navamsa is a variation of

navamsa. When defining navamsa, Parasara only said that the lords of

the 9 equal parts of Aries are Mars, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Sun,

Mercury, Venus, Mars and Jupiter; the lords of the 9 equal parts of

Taurus are Saturn, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Sun and

Mercury, etc. He did not specify the signs. The signs we normally take

result in a cyclical navamsa. Kalachakra navamsa is composed of two

cycles - one zodiacal for savya nakshatra padas and the other

anti-zodiacal for apasavya nakshatra padas. This kalachakra navamsa

also fits the basic navamsa definition given by Parasara. So I consider

that it is very much granted by Parasara.

 

Kalachakra dasa is based on these

kalachakra navamsas.

 

So Pi in the dasa cycle of Aswini

2nd pada is clearly Krittika 4th pada and Sc coming after it in the

dasa cycle is clearly Rohini 1st pada.

 

If you extend this approach to the

entire Kalachakra dasa table, you will see that there is a clear

structure and it is nor arbitrary. You will also realize that mahadas

themselves correspond to various nakshatra padas.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
