Another Narayana dasa example

[Guest guest]

Namaste friends,

Because many questions asked on Narayana dasa recently, I will give

another detailed example of Narayana dasa computation.

* *

*

Birthdata: 4th April 1970, 5:50 pm (IST: 5:30E), 81e12, 16n15

Event data: 5th December 1996, 6:45 pm (EST: 5:00W), 71w12, 42n30

Event: Vehicular accident in which vehicle was totalled (i.e. insurance

company found it cheaper to give a new car than to repair the car)

* *

*

For vehicles, Parasara recommeded looking at D-16. Here lagna in rasi

chart is Virgo.

D-16 here: Mercury, Rahu & Ketu in Ta; Mars in Ge; Lagna in Cn;

Venus in Le; Jupiter in Vi; Sun & Moon in Sc; Saturn in Sg.

Let us compute D-16 Narayana dasa and see if the event makes sense using

the principles explained before. Especially, let us look at prana-antardasa

and test my varga transit principle.

* *

DASA SEQUENCE:

"Shodasamsa (D-16) Narayana dasa" starts from the sign occupied in D-16

by 4th lord in rasi chart (because 4 is the remainder when 16 is divided

by 12). Here Virgo is lagna in rasi chart and Jupiter is 4th lord. He is

in Vi in D-16. So dasas start from the stronger of Vi and 7th from it (i.e.,

Pi). Because Pi has no planets and Vi has one planet, Vi is stronger. Vi

starts dasas.

Vi is a dual sign and so the progression is "every 5th". Ta is 9th from

Vi and it is an odd-footed sign (odd-footed signs are Ar, Ta, Ge, Li, Sc

and Sg). So the direction is "zodiacal".

Dasas go as Vi, Cp, Ta, Ge, Li, Aq, Pi, Cn, Sc, Sg, Ar, Le.

DASA DURATIONS:

Vi is even-footed. Count backwards. Mercury is in Ta, i.e. 5th from

Vi. We get 5-1=4 years. 1970-74.

Cp is even-footed. Count backwards. Saturn is in Sg, i.e. 2nd from Cp.

We get 2-1=1 years. 1974-75.

Ta is odd-footed. Count forward. Venus is in Le, i.e. 4th from Ta. We

get 4-1=3 years. 1975-78.

Ge is odd-footed. Count forward. Mercury is in Ta, i.e. 12th from Ge.

We get 12-1=11 years. 1978-89.

Li is odd-footed. Count forward. Venus is in Le, i.e. 11th from Li.

We get 11-1=10 years. 1989-99.

DASA DIVISIONS:

Dividing periods into 12 equal sub-periods, you can find antardasas

(AD), pratyantardasas (PD), sookshma-antardasas (SD), prana-antardasas

(PAD) in this mahadasa. Just remember to use Sun's longitude as a measure

of time and divide periods equally in terms of Sun's longitude change.

Or open my rasi dasa division program. Enter birthdata, event data,

10 years under "length of dasa", 1989 under "dasa started in year" and

select "find sub-periods upto 6th level at the date and time given below".

The output is:

Given MD - 10th AD - 3rd PD - 5th SD -

7th PAD - 5th DAD

Now let us find what all these stand for.

* *

AD:

MD is Li. We have to find the stronger of Li and the 7th from it (Ar).

Neither is occupied. Look at rasi aspects from Mercury, Jupiter and lord.

Jupiter aspects neither sign. Mercury aspects only Li. Lord Venus aspects

Li, but lord Mars doesn't aspect Ar. So the count is zero for Ar and two

for Li. Li is stronger. Start from Venus. He is in Le, an odd sign. So

the progression is "regular zodiacal". Antardasas go as Le, Vi, Li etc.

The 10th AD is Ta.

PD:

AD is Ta. Find the stronger of Ta and Sc. Ta with 3 planets is stronger

than Sc with 2 planets. Lord Venus is in Le, an odd sign. Antardasas should

normally go as Le, Vi, Li etc.

However, Ketu is in Taurus (dasa sign). So the exception "Ketoh vipareetam"

applies and the order is reversed. So PDs go as Le, Cn, Ge, Ta etc. The

3rd PD is Ge.

SD (sookshma dasa):

PD is Ge. Find the stronger of Ge and Sg. Both have one planets each.

Look for aspects (or occupancy) from lord, Jupiter and Mercury. Ge is aspected

by only Jupiter. Sg is aspected by Jupiter and its lord (Jupiter again).

Its count of two beats Ge's count of one. So Sg is stronger. Sg initiated

sub-periods. Look at the sign containing Sg's lord. Jupiter is in Virgo.

Virgo is an even sign and the order should normally be Vi, Le, Cn, Ge

etc. However, here Saturn occupies Sg. So the exception "Sanou chetyeke"

applies and the direction becomes zodiacal. So SDs go as Vi, Li, Sc, Sg

etc. The 5th SD is Cp.

PAD (prana dasa):

SD is Cp. Find the stronger of Cp and Cn. Neither is occupied. Look

for aspects from Mercury, Jupiter and lord. Jupiter aspects neither. Mercury

aspects both. Lord Saturn doesn't aspect Cp, but lord Moon aspects Cn from

Sc. So Cn is stronger (count of 2 as opposed to 1 of Cp).

Start sub-periods from Moon, who is in Sc. Sc is an even sign and so

the progression is anti-zodical. PADs are Sc, Li, Vi, Le etc. The 7th PAD

is Ta.

So the prana-antardasa running at the time of the event is

Li MD - Ta AD - Ge PD - Cp SD - Ta PAD.

Libra is the 4th house. Its dasa shows happiness from vehicles. This

native bought a 2-wheel vehicle and later a car in this dasa. This dasa

brought him happiness from vehicles. The event under focus was only an

aberration in this otherwise good dasa.

AD is Ta. It is the 12th house from A4 (vahana pada, arudha pada of

4th - it represents vehicle). It has nodes. This antardasa is bad. It not

only gave an accident, but forced him to buy a new car at a bad muhurta.

During the next 6 months (Ta's antardasa still), the new car received several

damages in parking lots and the native got rid of the "unlucky" car and

bought another car when the next AD started. He has been happy with the

new car.

Basically, being a dusthana from A4 and containing nodes makes Ta a

bad sign. Accidents, damages to the vehicle and change of vehicle are possible

then.

PD is Ge. It contains Mars, significator of accidents. Moreover, Mars

owns 6th from A4.

SD is Cp. It is the 8th house from A4 and its lord is in 7th from A4.

It is a maraka sthana for the car.

Basically, Sc, Cp and Ta are dusthanas from A4 and they are likely to

be active when the car is damaged in an accident (note: this accident totally

destroyed the car, but no individual had any injury).

PAD is Ta. I said earlier that prana-antardasa

should be interpreted based on transits in vargas. Look at transits in

D-16 at that time. Taurus was occupied in D-16 at the time of the event

by Rahu and Ketu!! So the prana-antardasa was conducive to an accident.

When Narayana dasa is computed correctly, it will work upto very low

levels in a consistent fashion. However, the rules as I taught you may

not be final. Experiment and search for truth.

May Jupiter's light shine on us,
