LK Grammar : Maha Dasha - Part 1

LK : Mahadasha

 

The word Mahadasha could mislead a traditional

astrologer. It has nothing to do with the

Mahadasha as is known in the traditional

Vedic astrology. The years allotted to the

planets are the same as in the Vinshottari

Dasha of traditional astrology, but there

the similarity ends.

 

All said and done it is a very interesting

concept of the Lal Kitab. At places it is

slightly confusing. My effort is to simplify

the concept and present it to you.

 

As a matter of fact the Mahadasha in the

Lal Kitab is euphuism for a spell of bad

luck. It is some thing similar to a spell

of bad luck one faces during a sade saati

of Shani in the traditional system.

 

The book says :

 

kisi grah ka lagatar hi manda zamana

mahadasha ka arsa hoga â€"

 

a continued malefic spell of a planet will

be called a mahadasha.

 

Mahadasha is not a cycle a native has to

go through necessarily like that in the

traditional vedic astrology where every body

has to go through a maha dasha of one planet

or the other.

 

A native may have this spell of bad luck of

Lal Kitab mahadasha only if a lot of

conditions are met. The conditions

are so many that only a few unlucky persons

may have to go through the Lal Kitab

Mahadasha.

 

A native will NOT have to go through

a mahadasha [ spell of bad luck] if :

 

[ 1 ] If the moon is of good effects

[ achchha asar ] any where in the horoscope.

 

[ 2 ] If a planet placed in the 4th house is good.

 

[ 3 ] If there is at least one planet in the

Kendra houses [ 1,4,7,10] and at the same

time if there is either of the following :

[ a ] Moon in 2nd or 9th

[ b ] Rahu in 3rd

[ c ] mercury or rahu in 6th

[ d ] Venus or Ketu in the 12th

 

If any of the above conditions are fulfilled

then there will be NO mahadasha.

 

The following planets will NEVER give

or result in a mahadasha

 

[ a ] planet of destiny

[ b ] exalted planet

[ c ] qayam grah [ well established planet ]

[ d ] Planet of rasi phal

[ e ] a planet which is nek [ benefic ]

 

Taking the above exceptions into account

you can very well imagine how rare this

mahadasha is going to be. Probably it would

be a very few natives who may have to go

through a mahadasha.

 

 

After having eliminated the possibility of

mahadasha on the counts enumerated

above, if there is a planet which qualifies

to give the spell of bad luck [ mahadasha ]

then the following conditions ALSO will

have to be fulfilled.
