LK : Dasha System :

 

35 year dasha chakra

 

[ 35 year Dasha chakra should be used for the Varsh

Phal chart where as the traditional Vinshottari dasha

should be used for the Janma Kundali ]

 

 

Lal Kitab suggests a 35 year dasha cycle. The sequence

of the planets and the dasha years in the dasha cycle are:

 

Jupiter 6 yrs,

sun 2 yrs,

moon 1 yr,

venus 3 yrs,

mars 6 yrs,

mercury 2 yrs,

Saturn 6 years,

rahu 6 yrs

& ketu 3 yrs.

 

[ arun sanhita 1952 ed; page 10].

 

In order to remember the sequence, just remember the

sequence in which the planets have been placed and

described in the all the books of Lal Kitab.

 

Within the dasha of a planet there are three antardashas

of equal duration. For example the antar dasha

sequence within the Jupiter dasha is ketu, Jupiter

and sun. Each planet will have a period of two years.

Therefore the first segment will be Jupiter / ketu,

the second Jupiter / Jupiter ; and the third Jupiter / sun .

 

[ see page 8. Arun Sanhita 1952 ed ]

 

Unfortunately, the book carries just a small paragraph

on this 35 year dasha chakra. It is too sketchy. It neither

explains how to calculate the dasha nor its phal [ results ].

At least I have not come across any evidence, from the

written material that we have, that Pt. Roopchand ji used

this dasha himself.

 

Since there are no instructions as to how the dasha cycle

will be calculated, Lal Kitab scholars have come up with

various alternatives as to how it should be calculated. One

of the LK scholar in his recently published book has

suggested that the dasha should be calculated on the basis

of Janma samay ka grah [ planet of the time of birth ]. The

fallacy of this argument is that all those born during dark

nights or Krishna Paksha and on cloudy days will start their

dasha with Saturn. Hence more than half of the horoscopes

will have Saturn as their starting dasha. That does not

sound reasonable nor probable.

 

The other alternative suggested is that the dasha should be

calculated on the basis of the planet of the day [ janma

din ka grah ]. If that being so, then no body would ever

start the dasha with either Rahu or ketu, because both

these planets have not been assigned any day to them.

That again would not be probable.

 

Hence both the suggested methods are ruled out as

not being logical or probable.

 

Then what could be the other logical solution.

 

The concept of a short duration dasha system is not

new. The traditional vedic astrology already uses a

36 year dasha system known as Yogini dasha system.

It is very popular in Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal

Pradesh, and the Garhwal hills of Uttaranchal area.

Most of the horoscopes cast by the Pundits from these

areas will invariably have this Yogini dasha elaborated

and plotted in the horoscope. Since the Lal Kitab also

originates from the same geographical region , it is but

natural that the Lal Kitab paddhati also has a similar

short duration dasha system.

 

Therefore the 35 year dasha chakra is not an innovative

suggestion coming out of the blue. It is a part of a well

established astrology tradition of short duration dasha

systems. The 35 year dasha chakra of the Lal Kitab is,

therefore, addressed to the pundits and the readers who

were already familiar with another equally popular short

duration dasha system namely the Yogini dasha.

 

That being the case, pt. Roopchand ji took it for granted

that the pundits and other readers of the Lal Kitab

would already be familiar with the method of calculation

and also with the dasha phal [ result of the dasha]. Since all

astrologers calculated the dashas manually they all knew

how to go about it because in the earlier times every

student of astrology had to do a rigorous course on the

Jyotish ganit [ arithmetic of astrology ]. He, therefore,

did not elaborate the procedure to calculate the dasha.

He did not talk about the dasha phal either. He did not

have to elaborate on the dasha results because a huge

amount of literature on the dasha phal is already

available in old Sanskrit classics.

 

I have been using the 35year dasha chakra to study

the Varsh Phal chart. I have intentionally chosen to

use this 35 year dasha chakra for the Varsh Phal chart

only; because both the varsh phal chart and the 35 year

dasha chakra system are exclusively Lal Kitab concepts

and hence compatible with each other. While analyzing

the Janma Kundali I use the traditional Vedic astrology

Vinshottari dasha system because these two are

compatible; both of the traditional vedic origin.

 

Therefore in order to calculate the 35 year dasha chakra ,

I use the same method which is used for calculating

the Yogini or the Vinsottari dasha systems. I calculate

the 35 year dasha chakra based on the movement of the

moon, or what is known in the traditional Vedic astrology

as nakshtreeya [ of nakshatra ]. Those who are familiar

with the Jyotish ganit [ arithmetic of astrology ] and

know how to manually calculate the Yogini dasha or

the Vinshottari dasha , can work out the 35 year dasha

chakra of the Lal Kitab within no time.

 

Those familiar with NC Lahiri’s ephemeris would know

how to look up the starting point of the Vinshottari dasha

from the table. Similarly a table can be made for the 35

year dasha chakra of the Lal Kitab. It took me a couple

of hours to prepare a table for the 35 year dasha chakra

of the Lal Kitab. Once you have the table it takes just a

couple of seconds to get the starting point of the dasha.
