Simple Thumb Rules (Amma donates Rs 100 crorefor tsunami disaster)

[Guest guest]

Dear Narasimhaji,

That is said to be a Nadi principle. But, we should treat it as one among

several considerations. Navamsa position of a planet with respect to its Rasi

position remains constant for many hours (for Moon), days (for Sun, Mer,

Mars,Venus) or even months for Jup / Saturn. In your case, Sat will have the

same status for all D-24 charts possible with your Virgo Lagna and should give

same results. Hence, I feel, it should be taken with some reservations. Subtle

points are always more important.

Also, secret and important principles are not disclosed easily. Then literal

meaning of any principle, without adding an insight or research to it, doesn't

give results.

[vedic astrology] Simple Thumb Rules (Re: Amma donates Rs 100 crorefor tsunami disaster)

Namaste Sushmita,

 

> Dear PVR,> I appreciate this post. I would re-read it and reply by the night.

Can you kindly point me out to the lesson number in ur audio MP3s which contain

the lecture on Bhoga.> On your website, other topics were mentioned, maybe you

have used it in the examples.> > Warm regards,> > Sushmita

Unfortunately, I don't remember in which lesson I introduced this. But the

concept of bhoga (counting from mahadasa lord to antardasa lord and counting

the same signs from antardasa loord) is a standard principle I use in nakshatra

dasa interpretation and you will find many examples if you listen to the audio

lessons.

 

It is one of those simple thumb rules used by village pundits that work quite well.

 

Let me mention another simple thumb rule.

 

Village pundits count from the rasi position of a planet to its navamsa

position. The number of signs gives the effective house of the planet. Suppose

a planet is in Gemini rasi and Scorpio navamsa. It will give the 6th house

results.

 

Though navamsa is a very important division because it shows poorva punya and

the overall fortune, it's not the only division that exists. So you can extend

this principle to other divisions, like D-10, D-16, D-20, D-24 etc.

 

For example, I have Saturn in Aries in rasi chart and in Leo in D-24 chart

(learning). So Saturn gives the results of the 5th house in education. No

wonder Saturn dasa gave me a lot of scholarship and fame.

 

I ran Saturn dasa from the age of 5 to the age of 24. I passed 2 examinations

equivalent to BA degree in Sanskrit by the age of 11 and an exam equivalent to

BA degree in Hindi by the age of 12. At 11, I was quite good in Sanskrit and

could write poetry in classical meters. I stood first in my state in

intermediate (12th class) and went to IIT-Madras, which is one of the best

engineering institutes in India. I was second in my class there with a GPA of

over 9 (out of 10). Overall, Saturn dasa was excellent for learning and gave me

a lot of success in everything I tried to learn. There are several reasons, but

the thumb rule also points in the same direction.

 

Take Sri K.N. Rao. He ran Mercury dasa from 1986 to 2003. He wrote and edited

many books and articles in this dasa. In fact, he was the most prolific Indian

Jyotish writer during this dasa. Why?

 

There are many reasons, but our thumb rule gives a decent pointer. Sri Rao has

Mercury in Virgo in rasi chart and in Scorpio in D-10 and D-24. So Mercury

gives the results of 3rd house (communications) in D-10 (activities in society)

and D-24 (learning). No wonder he has been a prolific writer in this dasa!

 

There are many such simple thumb rules that are cool and work nicely.

Unfortunately, astrologers who know these thumb rules are quite secretive about

them and keep them to themselves.

 

If we want a renaissance in Jyotish knowledge in the coming few decades, we have

to change this attitude.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
