Raja yoga in BPHS

[Guest guest]

Quoting from chapter 39, sloka 48 of BPHS:

 

" If all benefics are relegated to Kendras. while malefics are in 3,6 and 11

house, the native,

though maybe of mean descent, will ascend the throne. "

 

Now, as Mercury and Moon are benefics only under certain conditions then how is

the yoga

going to be formed when they are not benefics in a chart?

 

Another question, how can Rahu and Ketu both the malefics be in upachaya houses

at the

same time? So is Rahu and Ketu to be considered for the yoga?

 

Would be glad if someone can help me understand this yoga.

Dear Basab, Namaskar.

Here is the ITRANS for the sloka:

 

kendresthitaiH shubhaiH sarvaiH pApaishcha trishhaDAyagaiH |

hInavaMsho.api yo jAtaH sa rAjA bhavati dhruvam.h || 48||

 

The words Papa and Krura are not interchangeable. Moon does become

Krura when devoid of light, as does Mercury when associated with

Malefics, but Papa means they wanto inflict evil upon others. This

cannot be said of Moon, whilst Mercury doesn't become innocent in the

company of other malefics.

 

So Moon should be out of this equation for the yoga to be 'spotless'.

The mention of malefics in trishadaya's says nothing about ALL the

malefics being there as the word 'sarva' has been attributed to the

benefics, i.e. ALL benefics should be in Kendra or all Kendras should

be occupied by benefics. This doesn't mean malefics cannot occupy

houses other than the trishadaya.

 

Further, the word 'mean' may not be the most accurate translation of

'hiina' as 'mean' can also mean evil decent. Instead this refers to one

coming from a poor or destitute family which wasn't meant to earn great

raja yoga, but did so afterall due to the blessings of the yoga.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Yours sincerely, Visti Larsen

Dear Visti Larsen, Namaskar!

 

Firstly thank you so much for answering my question.

You have explained the yoga very elaborately which was

of great help to me.

 

According to the Girish Chandra Sharma translation of

the BPHS all malefics should be in trishadaya houses

with all benefics in kendra houses for the raja yoga

to form. Do you think that's a wrong interpretation of

the yoga?

 

You have mentioned that the Moon should not be

considered a benefic for this yoga what is the logic

behind it? This is the biggest confusion I am facing

when reading the yogas in BPHS, it's because I am

finding it difficult to understand for which yogas the

Moon can be considered a benefic and for which it

can't? Parashar says in the very beginning that the

waxing Moon is a benefic so why shouldn't it be

considered for this yoga?

 

I have a similar confusion about Rahu-Ketu, I have

read that they should not be considered malefics for

the yogas, now what is the logic behind that, it's

because Parashar as clearly mentioned that they are

natural malefics in the very beginning of the BPHS.

 

Thanks once again for explaining the raja yoga.

 

Regards

Basab
