[Jagannath] Drig Dasa Example 2: Robert Koch

[Guest guest]

Namaste Robert,

 

> * I get Sg dasa for 11y, not 10y as you gave.

 

Thanks for the correction. You are absolutely right. I made an

error. With

Jupiter in the 12th from Sg, dasa length is 12-1=11 years.

 

Because some people may save my examples for later reference, I

am going to

correct it and repost it. Make sure that you reject the original

example 2 and

save only the resent version. Otherwise, you may get confused

later. The second

version will incorporate the additional info given by Robert.

 

> Anyway, I think I am correct in saying that the Sg dasa should be 11 years

> in my case. This puts 1st initiation at Sg/Aq (see my previous email), 2nd

> initiation at Sg/Sg, and Jyotish initiation with Guru-gayatri mantra, at

> Sc/Pi.

 

Sg-Pi makes the best sense for coming under the influence of a

guru (Pi is

aspected by exalted Mercury in gurupada - arudha of 9th - and

Pi's lord is in

9th from Pi). Pi antardasa is a great candidate for bringing a

guru into your

life. Sg-Pi brought Srila Prabhupada into your life and Sc-Pi

brought Sanjay

Rath. Do you know when you came under the influence of Sri K.N.

Rao?

 

Sg-Aq for first initiation is an acceptable candidate (5th

house). Sg-Sg for the

second and fuller initiation and mantra practice is a perfect

candidate.

 

* * *

 

You had one initiation in the antardasa of 5th house and one in

the antardasa of

the arudha of 5th house.

 

Just a quick note on the difference between 5th and the arudha

pada of 5th:

 

The 5th house is the house of emotions and judgments. It shows

bhakti (devotion)

and dedication to God in drig dasa. As I said earlier, arudha

padas show maya

(illusions). Arudha pada of a house shows the illusions

associated with that

house. They usually deal with materialistic or formal things.

 

Please don't take this negatively and combatively: Mantras,

rituals and similar

procedures of God are an illusion of this world related to

bhakti, devotion and

dedication to God. The two are different. The former are seen

from the arudha of

5th (mantra pada) and the latter are seen from the plain 5th

house.

> * Question: Can you take Drig dasa to D-20, and study it in that context,

> similar to how we do it for D-20 Narayana dasa?

 

I was told that Narayana dasa is one of the very few dasas

applicable to

divisional charts. Dasas like Sudasa and Drig dasa apply to very

specific

matters and we don't have them defined separately for rasi chart

and the

divisional chart under question. Only Narayana dasa is.

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
