That is what Sri KN Rao teaches. That seems to be motivated by the nakshatra

dasa paradigm (Vimsottari/Ashtottari).

 

In "Chara dasa (KN Rao)" option in my software, I faithfully used this method.

However, in "Chara dasa (Parasara)" option, it is only fair that I should NOT

go by Sri KN Rao's views and instead follow Parasara! Don't you agree?

 

When teaching Chara dasa and other rasi dasas, Parasara did NOT mention the

above approach for finding antardasas.

 

In fact, why don't you read BPHS again and find out for yourself what antardasa

method Parasara recommended for Chara dasa and other rasi dasas?!!

 

Just for the record, let me mention this: You will get calculations strictly

adhering to Sri KN Rao's teachings, if you choose "Chara dasa (KN Rao)".

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us, Narasimha

Parasara Chara Dasa in JHL 7.02

Dear Narasimha,

Today I was surprised to see the calculation of antardasas in chara dasa

(Parasara) as given by your software. Generally antardasas in a mahadasa starts

from preceding or succeding sign as the antardasa of mahadasa sign itself should

come last. But your software starts it from some other sign, generally and many

a times from the sign occupied by mahadasa lord. I have seen it first time.

Illustrating, consider my mother's data:

May 10, 1942

15:23 IST

75E49, 26N55

Lagna is Virgo.

See opening MD of Virgo - AD starts from Gemini

Next MD of Libra - AD again starts from Gemini

MD of Scorpio - AD starts from Pisces

MD of Saggitarius - AD starts from Taurus etc

 

Please let me know the reason of this deviation from what is supposed to be

standard. I need it as I have to do some research on Chara dasa by Parasara and

shri K.N.Rao.

Thanking you,
