Guest guest Posted June 26, 2000 Report Share Posted June 26, 2000 -------------------- I had a sudden network problem at home last night. So I could not mail this last night. I had to wait till coming to office this morning to post this. -------------------- Om Sree Mahaganadhipataye Namah Om Sree Mahalakshmi Srimannarayanabhyam Namah Namaste friends, Sanjay allotted me exercise (1) and asked me to give the final answer at the end of 25th June. I am giving my answer to the question below. But one warning: Sanjay asked gurus to give the " final answer " . What you read below can hardly be the " final answer " . As I better my understanding of raja yogas with further study, I can give a better answer. Only a few of you have attempted the question, probably because this exercise came during a weekend or because it was too general and you didn't know where to start. Most of you correctly thought raja yoga makes one a king or an equal. Some of you talked correctly about the conjunction of quadrant and trine lords. Gauranga also mentioned the advanced rules involving AK and PiK. Some nice examples, including those of Lord Rama and Dr. B.V. Raman, were given by you. I am pleased to read your answers. I don't have much more to add, but I will give a small and concise account of my understanding of Raja Yogas for everyone's benefit. * * * WHAT IS RAJA YOGA The word yoga means " being together/acting together " . The word " raaja " is used in the sense of " king " in today's world. It has many meanings " king, chief, sovereign, the best of one's kind " . Raja yoga is a combination that shows factors acting together to make someone the excel in something. Raja yogas don't necessarily produce kings or people with power in the material sense. Kings and materially powerful people form only one subset of people with raja yoga. Raja yogas make people " the best of their kind " . They make people excel in something or the other. BASIC RAJA YOGA There are many different Raja Yogas mentioned by Parasara. Of those, the most basic one involves quadrant and trine lords. Quadrants are the abode of Narayana and trines are the abode of His wife Sri Lakshmi. Quadrants show sustaining activities and trines show prosperity. Any links between the lord of a quadrant and the lord of a trine show the linking of Vishnu maya - sustaining activity - and Lakshmi sakti - prosperity. That shows prosperity. We said that relationship between the lord of a quadrant and the lord of a trine results in raja yoga. We can consider the following relationships: (1) mutual exchange (one planet in the other's rasi and vice versa), (2) conjunction (two planets together in one rasi) (3) aspect (two planets aspecting each other) Some people take being in mutual quadrants or trines also as a relationship, but the above three are important. OTHER RAJA YOGAS There are many other raja yogas listed in chapter 39 of BPHS. The most important one is: Association of 1st and 5th lords and, at the same time, association of AK (atma karaka) and PiK (Pitri karaka - 5th chara karaka) brings a powerful raja yoga. An example will be given later. Association of 5th and 9th lords can also give a powerful raja yoga. There are many other raja yogas and please read chapter 39 and Sanjay's COVA (discussion on Akbar's chart). Instead of listing them, I hope you can go through these references and give some examples that you come across. In addition to this chapter, Parasara mentioned raja yogas in other places. For example, in the chapter on avasthas, he explicitly said that Moon in the 10th house in Prakaasana (shining) or Kautuka (eager) avasthas gives a raja yoga. Unless we read the whole BPHS carefully, we will not know all raja yogas. FRUCTIFICATION OF A RAJA YOGA A raja yoga cannot fructify unless Sun and Moon have strength. If a planet taking part is in debilitation or combustion or a kshobhita avastha (or other bad avasthas) or if functional malefics afflict the raja yoga giving planets, raja yoga becomes weak. Dr. B.V. Raman taught that the planets producing raja yoga by conjunction or aspect should have a close conjunction or close aspect for the yoga to be effective. Still we find that these raja yogas are common, but only a few people really get the results. Parasara gave some useful hints. He said that we should look at the favorable amsas occupied by raja yoga producing planets. The strength of the raja yoga increases with the two planets in better amsas. For example, if two planets in Gopuramsa give raja yoga in a chart, the person will be a great and special king. If two planets in Simhasanamsa give raja yoga in a chart, the person will be an emperor. This is a rare yoga and Harischandra (king who never lied), Manu (progenitor of human race), Bali (charitable demon king), Agni (Fire god - Vaiswanara), Yudhisthira (Dharmaraja - the eldest of Pandavas of Mahabharata) and Salivahana (a great Indian king of kali yuga) were born with two raja yoga producing planets in Simhasanamsa. All of Vishnu's avataras are born with two raja yoga producing planets in Devalokamsa. Raja yoga involving 2 planets in Brahmalokamsa results in the birth of Brahma. In Airavatamsa, Svaayambhuva Manu was born. One should realize that these are all very very rare combinations that occur only once in many many many mahayugas. When we see that two strong planets take part in a raja yoga, we can look at the favorable amsas occupied by them and make a judgment based on it. In most charts, we do not see both raja yoga producing planets being in good amsas. So even if one planet is in Uttamamsa or Gopuramsa, good results may be produced. If both the planets are in Uttamamsa, Gopuramsa etc (which is not very common), we can confidently predict excellent results. Parasara hinted that the planet with higher shadbala gives the results of a yoga. EXAMPLE 1 Already several excellent examples, including Sri Ramachandra and Dr. B.V. Raman, were given. I will give one more example. This chart belongs to Swami Chandrasekhara Sraswati, who was the chief pontiff at Kanchi Kamakoti peetha.

Jupiter is the 5th lord. They conjoin in the 10th house of karma, forming a powerful raja yoga! Jupiter is in Uttamamsa. AK is Saturn and PiK is Rahu. They aspect each other and Saturn is in Uttamamsa. So we have another powerful rajayoga. In addition, Jupiter in the 7th from arudha lagna shows undying fame. There are powerful raja yogas in this chart. However, there are also pravrajya yogas. For example, Moon is debilitated in AL. Moon's despitor Ketu joins Saturn. Saturn is AK and he aspects Moon. We have yogas for renunciation. In addition, we have Tapaswi yoga (yoga for penance) due to Saturn and Ketu being together, aspected by Venus. The native was one of the greatest pontiffs to be in control of the math and Prime Ministers, Presidents and Chief Ministers came to him to seek his blessings. He guided millions of Hindus spiritually. EXAMPLE 2 Let us take our own Sanjay's chart.

They have a mutual aspect. This gives a raja yoga as well as Tapaswi yoga. Saturn is in Uttamamsa and the yoga is reasonably strong. (2) Lagna and 10th lord Jupiter has an aspect with 9th lord Mars and this gives another raja yoga. Jupiter is in Simhasanamsa and this yoga is more powerful. (3) The 5th lord Moon and the 4th/7th lord Mercury aspect each other and we have another raja yoga. (4) In my humble view, an exalted planet in Prakaasana (shining) avastha in the 10th house (karma) gives raja yoga stronger than all of the above. One's karma (action) is primarily based on the 10th house. If planets in own or exaltation rasis influence the 10th house being in Prakaasana (shining) or Kautuka (eager) avasthas, that results in excellent deeds. Ketu is in Prakaasana avastha in the 10th house and he is exalted. The 10th lord Jupiter is also in Prakaasana avastha and he is in own sign in Simhasanamsa with 7 rekhas in ashtakavarga. This gives a raja yoga that makes one attain perfection in spiritual matters (Ketu) and perform good deeds in the direction indicated by Ketu and Jupiter. [This yoga wasn't explicitly mentioned by Parasara, but it is a simple extension of his hints.] * * * I will stop there and ask you to read chapter 39 of BPHS when you get time and apply it on the charts you have. Also read Sanjay's analysis of Akbar's chart. Akbar was the greatest Muslim emperor to rule India and Sanjay's analysis was superb. May Jupiter's light shine on us, Narasimha PS: Narayan, I saw your mail just before sending this one. Good job, keep it up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 27, 2000 Report Share Posted June 27, 2000 Dear Mr.Narasimha, I read somewhere that the sambandha for 9th & 10th house lords, to qualify for Rajayoga, includes the placement of lord in other lord's Nakshatra and vise versa, apart from other sambandhas of conjunction, mutual aspects and parivarthana. Is it true?
