Guest guest Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Dear All, Here is a brief note on Drekkana. *** DREKKANA *** Drekkana holds a rank of vital divisional chart. Various ancient and medieval experts mentioned different methods of erecting drekkana. Generally known drekkan (D3) are; a) Parasri Drekkana b) Privriti-traya Drekkana c) Somanath Drekkana d) Jagannath Drekkana Among them Parasri drekkan is often used for analyzing all matters related to coborns and siblings. Privriti-traya and Somanath drekkan is considered under parshan jyotish. Greek astrologers paid great attention to the decanate system of delineation. Western scholars used decanate technically identical to Jagannath Drekkana, in order to unveil native’s character. Among Sun, Moon and Ascendant if all three or two fall into decanate (Jagannath drekkana) of malefic planets then the native would be evil minded, sinner and wrathful. If trend is mixed then native will be lazy, back biter and ill-behaved. But if all three (among Sun, Moon and Ascendant) rises into benefic drekkana (and their lord of drekkan are also powerful) then native would be blessed, intelligent, softspoken and successful. Extracting Parashri Drekkana: Sage Parashar named the three decanates Naarada, Aghastya and Durvaasa for movable signs (Ar, Cn, Li, Cp). For fixed signs they are Aghastya, Durvaasa and Naaada. Whereas for dual signs Durvasa, Naarada and Aghastya lords the three drekkana respectively. ------- Rasi 1st Drek 2nd Drek 3rd Drek 0* – 10* 10* - 20* 20* - 30* ------- Ar Ar Le Sg Narada Agastya Durvasa ------- Ta Ta Vi Cp Agastya Durvasa Narada ------- Ge Ge Li Aq Durvasa Narada Agastya ------- Cn Cn Sc Pi Narada Agastya Durvasa ------- Le Le Sg Ar Agastya Durvasa Narada ------- Vi Vi Cp Ta Durvasa Narada Agastya ------- Li Li Aq Ge Narada Agastya Durvasa ------- Sc Sc Pi Cn Agastya Durvasa Narada ------- Sg Sg Ar Le Durvasa Narada Agastya ------- Cp Cp Ta Vi Narada Agastya Durvasa ------- Aq Aq Ge Li Agastya Durvasa Narada ------- Pi Pi Cn Sc Durvasa Narada Agastya ------- Significance of Lordship: What is the significance of these three personalities? Narada Muni was the receptor of the Bhakti-khanda, that is, he received from his father, Brahma the knowledge of devotion to the Supreme Lord. Bhakti is the prime necessity of the soul; therefore Narada might represent the Atma, or the soul. Agastya Muni is lined with Manas, or the mind in many places in the Vedas. And Durvasa Muni was famous from his efforts to control his senses, therefore he represents the Indriyas, or senses. So we might say that the three Drekkanas of the signs may refer to the soul, the mind and the senses. Parasara Rishi states that the Drekkana Chakra should be analyzed with regard to siblings, or co-borns. We might conclude that the planets in the Drekkanas ruled by Narada would denote the spiritual/karmic relations to the native's brothers, and may even signify Godbrothers (disciples of the same Guru), those in the Drekkanas ruled by Agastya would signify the mental/psychological effects from brothers, and those in the Drekkanas ruled by Durvasa would refer to the sensual/physical comfort or discomfort caused by the brothers and sisters. (above two paras are from Gauranga Das article). Lord of 22nd Drekkana: 22nd Drekkan is also called Khara and its lord is known as Kharesh. It is considered one of the specially-ranked malefic planet for the native. There are various methods of counting 22nd drekkana, but a very short cut technique is to look the lord of 8th house in D3. The planet would be lord of 22nd drekkana from the rising sign in Rashi. Kharesh is specially associated with cause of death. In general condition when ayur is not reached optimum it is concerned with bodily discomfort, health matters, and threat to longevity of the native. Some clues to use 22nd Drekkana: * Dasha/antar of lord of 22nd drekkana generally afflicts native’s health and yield mental agony, provide they are devoid of benefic aspects. If the concerned planet is also a natural malefic and posited in malefic rashi then intensity of evil would definitely higher than expected. * Occupation of natural malefic (Sat, Mar, Rah, Ket) in 22nd drekkan, in Rashi, reduces the potential of the chart upto great extant (unless there is no counter relief). * Whenever lord of langa transits the 22nd drekkan; loss, bodily discomfort, grief and quarrel results. For example at birth someone has 25* of Pisces as ascendant. Then Scorpio rises as D3 langa and Gemini becomes the 22nd drekkana. Therefore whenever lord of D1 lagna Jupiter transits the Gemini, native would encounter obstacles and losses. * In a similar fashion transit of lord of 22nd drekkan in ascendant produces trouble regarding significance of 1st house. * Like ascendant, obtain 22nd drekkanas of other planets specially Moon and Sun. Transit of graha into respective 22nd drekkana always mar the significance of planet transited. Avoid starting any new task when your luminaries are transiting their 22nd drekkana or/and Kharash moving over Sun or Moon. With Regards, M.
