Moola Dasa - Sri Rama

[Guest guest]

Pranaam Sanjay & fellow Jyotishis,

 

I know Gurudev is vacationing for the month of August, so if any members of

the group know the answer to the following question I would appreciate help.

 

In Lesson #10, in the calculation of Moola dasa for Sri Rama's chart, Sanjay

gives the sequence as Jupiter, Moon, Mars, Saturn, Sun, etc. In following

rules of strength, I'm having difficulty with Mars following the Moon. I

understand the sequence of Jupiter and Moon. Next the decision is to be based

on Sun, Mars and Saturn, as they are in Kendras. All three are in signs with

an equal number of planets, are exalted and in chara rasis, so of equal

strength based on this. Mars and Saturn are both aspected by Mercury, so the

tie is between these two. The final decision, then, has to be based on

degrees of these two planets and I'm assuming this was Sanjay's reasoning.

Degrees are not given and I don't have chart data for Sri Rama!

 

Is my reasoning correct?

 

Best Regards, Brendan

Dear Brendan,

I am accessing this from outside. Very correct. There is another rule

which asks us to look for the placement of the lord of an odd sign in

an even sign and vice versa. in this case, Capricorn is even and its

Lord is in an odd sign while Libra is odd and its Lord is placed in

an even sign. So, both are again equal in strength.

 

Sometimes we have to make intelligent guesses when the degrees are

not available. I based my reasoning on the War at Lanka where the

Martian forces under Hanumanji (Mars is Lord of Arudha lagna)proved

to be stronger than the Demoniacal Saturnine forces of Ravan (Saturn

is Lord of the Satrupada). Thus Mars must be stronger than Saturn,

else Bhagavan sri Rama would not have won the battle!!

Jaya Jagannath

I am happy to see Gauranga and all of you doing so well.

I will get in touch after a week or two more.

Best Wishes for Janmastami. Recite the Guru Mantra (Hare Rama

Krishna) throughout the day till you go to bed.
