Lesson 8 - Q1

[Guest guest]

Dear Gurudeva Sanjay and Jyotish Gurus

 

Here is Lesson 8, which I am resubmitting after my virus attack. My sincere apologies to anyone to whom this kak worm was passed on to.

 

Applicability of Vimsottari Dasa

 

Birthtime: 11:42:06 am (1 DST) = 10:42:06 GMT, 17th September 1952

Birthplace: Birmingham, England. 1W50 52N30

Tithi: Krishna Chaturdasi

Lagna: Libra 21:48:03

 

Since my birth is daytime during Krishna Paksha AND Rahu is in Trikona from Paka Lagna,the use of Ashtottari dasa is advised. However, for this assignment, Vimsottari dasa will be used.

 

Determination of Starting Dasa

 

1. Lagna Nakshatra = Vishaka (Libra 21:48:03)

2. Janma Nakshatra = Magha (Leo 10:45:39)

3. Utpanna Nakshatra = Chitra (5th from Magha)

 

Number of planets in kendra to the signs occupied by these constellations:

 

1. Libra (Vishaka) = 3 planets (Ra, Ke, Ju)

2. Leo (Magha) = 2 planets (Me, Ma)

3. Libra (Chitra) = 3 planets (Ra, Ke, Ju)

 

Vishaka and Chitra are therefore the stronger Nakshatras. Vishaka, however, receives a very strong aspect from Jupiter (at 27:41 Aries). Moreover, Jupiter rules Vishaka and thus this is an additional source of strength. The Lagna constellation (Vishaka) should therefore be used to determine the starting dasa, and its lord Jupiter will begin the first dasa at birth (see 1b below).

 

1b. Vimsottari Dasa from Lagna

 

Calculation of Dasa Balance

 

Dasa Period of Jupiter = 16 years

Longitude of Lagna = 21:48:03 Libra = 201:48:03 (M)

Longitude of start of Vishaka = 6s:20:00:00 = 200:00:00 (N)

Balance of Dasa = Dasa Period x {1 - [(M - N)/13:20:00]}

 

= 16 x {1 - [1:48:03/13:20:00]}

= 16 x {1 - [6483/48000]}

= 16 x {1 - 0.1350625}

= 16 x 0.8649375

= 13.839

= 13 years 10 months 2 days 0 hours 57 min 36 sec

 

Nakshatra Balance = 0.8649375

1a. Vimsottari Dasa from Moon

 

The lord of the Janma Nakshatra, or Moon constellation, is Ketu.

 

Calculation of Dasa Balance

 

Dasa Period of Ketu = 7 years

Longitude of Moon = 10:45:39 Leo = 130:45:39 (M)

Longitude of start of Magha = 4s:00:00:00 = 120:00:00 (N)

 

Balance of Dasa = Dasa Period x {1 - [(M - N)/13:20:00]}

 

= 7 x {1 - [10:45:39/13:20:00]}

= 7 x {1 - [38739/48000]}

= 7 x {1 - 0.8070625}

= 7 x 0.1929375

= 1.3505625

= 1 year 4 months 6 days 4 hours 51 min 36 sec

 

Nakshatra Balance = 0.1929375

1cde. Vimsottari Dasa from Utpanna, Kshema and Adhana Stars

 

© Utpanna Star (5th from Janma Nakshatra, Magha) = Chitra, ruled by Mars

(d) Kshema Star (4th from Janma Nakshatra, Magha) = Hasta, ruled by Moon

(e) Adhana Star (8th from Janma Nakshatra,Magha) = Anurada, ruled by Saturn

 

Calculation of Dasa Balance

 

Since the position of these stars is based on the Moon Nakshatra, the 'relative longitude' of the Moon is used in each case. Thus, the Nakshatra balance will be the same as that calculated from the Moon Nakshatra, but the Dasa Balance will depend on the lord of the Nakshatra.

 

1c. Vimsottari Dasa from Utpanna Star (Chitra)

 

Dasa Period of Mars = 7 years

Nakshatra Balance = 0.1929375

Balance of Dasa = 7 x 0.1929375 = 1.3505625

Important Events

 

Subdasas from Lagna and Moon calculated using Shri Jyoti Star.

Subdasas from Utpanna, Kshema and Adhana Stars calculated from Vimsottari Dasa tables.

 

1. Car Crash. About midnight on 11th December 1982.

 

(a) This event is clearly seen in the Vimsottari Dasa from Lagna. The dasa/antardasa/pratyantardasa is Sa/Ra/Ma, a period of three great natural malefics. Saturn therefore brings some loss and grief in this period, even though he is my yogakaraka planet. Saturn, lord of the 4th house of vehicles is in the 12th house of loss at 21:52 Virgo, almost identical in degrees with the sensitive lagna cusp (21:48 Libra). Saturn is closely conjoined with debilitated Venus (24:09), the karaka for conveyances and lord of the 8th house of calamities, in the 12th house, and the car was also not a foreign car. Rahu (28:11 in Capricorn) gives a 9th aspect to Venus and Saturn, while Mars (19:48 Scorpio), the significator for accidents, is also 'double maraka' lord of the 2nd and 7th, and closely aspected by Saturn. Mars is the Nakshatra dispositor of both Rahu and Venus. Mars' Nakshatra dispositor is Mercury, the 12th (and 9th) lord.

 

The accident was quite serious, but fortunately I remained unhurt. I think perhaps Saturn as yogakaraka and lord of the 5th, with Moon as his Nakshatra dispositor, spared my life, together with Saturn's conjunction with the lagna lord Venus, who is in Neecha Bhanga Raja Yoga, and Jupiter's blessing by aspecting my ascendant. Saturn's dispositor, Mercury, is also conjoined with the Moon in the 11th house.

 

If we take the 4th level of Sookshma Dasa, and assume that the birthtime is accurate, then the period is Sa/Ra/Ma/Me on 6th December 1982 (Mercury is 12th and 9th lord) changing to Sa/Ra/Ma/Ke on 15th December.

 

(b) From the Moon, the Vimsottari period is Mo/Ra/Ma, and using the 4th level, Mo/Ra/Ma/Me, or Mo/Ra/Ma/Ke. The main difference here (to above) is the mahadasa lord Moon instead of Saturn - i.e. maraka Mars giving accidents and Rahu aspecting Venus and Saturn as karakas for vehicles. Why should the accident happen in the mahadasa of Moon? From the lagna, Moon's dispositor Sun is in the 12th house, while Moon is conjoined the 12th lord Mercury, and Moon's Nakshatra dispositor is Ketu. Moreover, from Moon lagna, Moon is lord of the 12th and in D-16 Moon is aspected by Saturn, the 12th lord. Because the mahadasa lord Moon is aspected by Jupiter in rashi, I remained unhurt in the crash.

 

© Using the other dasas, the mahadasa lords are:

 

1. From Utpanna Star: Jupiter

2. From Kshema Star: Jupiter

3. From Adhana Star: Venus

 

These are all natural benefics. However, Jupiter is temporal malefic for Libra lagna, being lord of the 3rd and 6th (although no injury was sustained), but his dispositor is maraka Mars, and nakshatra dispositor Sun is in the 12th. Venus (karaka for conveyances) is debilitated lagna lord in the 12th, signifying "loss of vehicles", with dispositor 12th lord Mercury and nakshatra dispositor maraka Mars. So these mahadasa lords are also connected to the 12th house of loss and accidents. The fact that these dasa lords are the great benefic Jupiter and lagna lord Venus may also help to explain why I was unhurt in this crash.

 

Calculation of antardasa/pratyantardasa lords using Vimsottari Dasa Tables:

 

Accident: 11-12-1982

 

1. Ju dasa: 23-1-1972 to 23-1-1988. Expired = 10 yrs, 10 m, 18 days giving Ju/Su. 3rd level = Ju/Su/Ju

 

2. Ju dasa: 22-8-1979 to 22-8-1995. Expired = 3 yrs, 3 m, 19 days giving Ju/Sa. 3rd level = Ju/Sa/Ve

 

3. Ve dasa: 17-5-1980 to 15-5-2000. Expired = 2 yrs, 6 m, 24 days giving Ve/Ve. 3rd level = Ve/Ve/Sa.

 

If we look at the 2nd level, we see the influence of the Sun and Saturn as malefics in the 12th house of loss, in addition to Venus, the significator for vehicles, in the 12th house of loss.

 

Since all of these dasas are meant to function simultaneously, we can clearly see the combinations for loss (12th house and 12th lord), grief and misery (Saturn), accidents (Mars and 8th lord), chaos (Rahu) and vehicles (4th lord and Venus). In addition, the saving grace of Jupiter is evident as being mahadasa lord (in two cases), and in aspecting the mahadasa lord Moon in Vimsottari Dasa from the Moon.

 

2. Initiation into Meditation. 1st December 1984.

 

(a) Up to this date, the previous 5 years had been a very stressful time, including the car crash in Sa/Ra/Ma (from lagna) or Mo/Ra/Ma (from Moon). Something had to change! In January 1983 the antardasa changed from Sa/Ra to Sa/Ju (from lagna) and on 24th December 1982, from Mo/Ra to Mo/Ju (from Moon). I was initiated into Maharishi Mahesh Yogi's Transcendental Meditation practice on 1st December 1984 in Sa/Ju/Mo/Sa (from lagna) and in Mo/Sa/Ve/Ve (from Moon). From the lagna, we see the great influence of Brihaspati, since Jupiter aspects the ascendant (its own nakshatra Vishaka) and Moon, and the influence of Saturn and Moon in bringing one to meditation by focusing the mind. Saturn, the great yogakaraka for Libra and lord of the 5th house of mantras and spiritual techniques, is in the 12th house of meditation on the cuspal point. Furthermore, Saturn aspects the Moon in D-20 and is conjoined the Moon in the 4th house of moksha in D-9. The Jupiter antardasa brings great spiritual blessings, since Jupiter is lord of the 9th and 12th, in Moolatrikona, the 9th in D-9.

 

(b) The dasa period from the Moon is Mo/Sa/Ve/Ve, again confirming the influence of Saturn and Moon necessary for meditation. Venus, lagna lord and lord of the 8th house of moksha and the transcendent, is also conjoined Saturn in the 12th. In D-20, Saturn aspects Venus, the 5th and 12th lord, while Venus is in the 5th in D-9.

 

© From the other 3 stars, the dasa periods are (using Vimsottari Dasa Tables):

 

1. From Utpanna Star: Ju/Ma/Ra

2. From Kshema Star: Ju/Me/Ve

3. From Adhana Star: Ve/Mo/Ma

 

The influence of mahadasa lords Jupiter and Venus (lagna lord) has a beneficial influence at this time. Antardasha lord Mars is conjoined with Jupiter in the 9th house of D-9 while Mercury is the 12th lord in rashi.

 

3. Return to Full-Time Education in September 1985.

 

(a) Vimsottari Dasa from Lagna: I left my teaching job to return to University studies in July 1985 when I entered Me/Me/Me/Me. The karmas of Mercury surely unfolded at the time of this change of dasa, bringing new educational opportunities. Mercury is also a very spiritual planet for Libra, being 9th and 12th lord, and it was at this time that I learned more advanced techniques of TM and began my Vedic studies. Mercury is also the lagna lord in D-20 in the 11th house of gains
