Quotes from BPHS for both Srila Prabhupada's charts

[Guest guest]

Dear Hari Sauri Prabhu,

 

Please accept my humble obeisances. All glories to Srila Prabhupada.

 

I will now give some quotes from Brhad Parasara Hora Sastra in regard to the

different lagna's for SP chart:

 

Dhanus lagna

 

BPHS

 

Ch. 10.2 Should one among Mercury, Jupiter and Venus be in an angle from

Ascendant, all evils will be destroyed as the Sun eliminates darkness.

 

(this is not the case with Makara lagna)

 

Ch. 10.9 If malefics are surrounded by benefics while angles or trines are

themselves benefic-occupied, evils disappear soon. Not only this, evils will

not follow from the houses concerned.

 

(I will comment on this at the end)

 

Ch 20.1 one will be fortunate if 9th lord is in 9th with strength

 

Ch. 20.28 Mercury in deep exaltation as the 9th lord is in the 9th itself,

abundant fortunes will be earned after age 36.

 

(Srila Prabhupada met his Guru Maharaja at the age of 36 and heard he would

be initiated soon) (same counts for Makara lagna also)

 

Ch 24.9 Ascendant lord in the 9th: fortunate, dear to people, will be a

devotee of Shri Vishnu, be skilful, eloquent in speech, endowed with wife,

sons and wealth.

 

Ch. 24.23 2nd lord in 11th: all kinds of wealth, ever diligent, honourable,

famous

 

Ch 24.27 (in case of Rahu) 3rd lord in 3rd: endowed with happiness through

co-born, will have wealth and sons, be cheerful and extremely happy.

 

Ch 24.35 (in case of Saturn) 3rd lord in 11th: always gain in trading, be

intelligent although not literate, be adventurous and will serve others.

 

Ch. 24.45 4th lord in 9th: dear to one and all, be devoted to God, virtuous,

honourable, endowed with every kind of happiness

 

Ch 24.54 5th lord in 6th: sons will be equal to his enemies, or will lose

them, or will acquire an adopted or purchased son

 

Ch 24.70 6th lord in 10th: well known among his men, not respectfully

disposed towards his father, will be happy in foreign countries, will be

gifted speaker

 

(Srila Prabhupada refused his diploma and upset his father in this way)

 

Ch 24.82 7th lord in 10th: will beget a disobedient wife, will be religious

and endowed with wealth, sons, etc...

 

Ch 24.90 8th lord in 6th (causing vipareet raj yoga): win over his enemies,

be afflicted by diseases and during childhood will incur danger through

snakes (poison, fire) and water.

 

(Srila Prabhupada was afflicted by typhoid and dysenterie in childhood, and

had a scar on his leg from a fire)

 

Ch 24.105 9th lord in 9th: endowed with abundant fortunes, virtues and

beauty, and will enjoy happiness from co-born.

 

Ch 24.118 10th lord in 10th: skilful in all jobs, valorous, truthful and

devoted to elders

 

Ch 24.130 11th lord in 10th: honoured by the king, be virtuous, attached to

his religion, intelligent, truthful, will subdue his senses

 

Ch 24.141 12th lord in 9th (in case of Ketu): will dishonour his elders,

inimical even to his friends, and be always intent on achieving his own ends

 

(Srila Prabhupada, seeing the enmity between Gaudiya Math members, went his

own way to achieve his ends)

 

Ch 36.5-6: Amal Yoga: if there be exclusively a benefic in the 10th from

Ascendant or Moon, Amal Yoga exists. Amal Yoga will CONFER FAME LASTING TILL

THE MOON AND STARS EXIST and will make the native honoured by the king,

enjoy abundant pleasures, charitable, fond of relatives, helpful to others,

pious and virtuous.

 

Ch 36.7-8: Parvat Yog: benefics in kendras will produce Parvat Yoga, as the

7th and 8th are vacant or are occupied by only benefics. One born in Parvat

Yoga will be wealthy, eloquent, charitable, learned in shastras, fond of

mirth, famous, splendorous, and be the leader of a city.

 

(these yoga's are not found in case of Makara lagna)

 

Garga Hora: Surya, Guru in 9th bhava: will subdue his enemies, be happy,

will enjoy gains of corns and wealth, be amiable to the virtuous, and dear

to the king.

 

I found in my notes that when Ketu so conjoined with lord of 9th gives

abundant fortune and extreme wealth, and Jupiter conjoined with Ketu in 9th

makes one famous, very learned and wise.

 

Now let's look at the quotes for Makara lagna:

 

BPHS

 

Ch 19.2 Short life: should the 8th lord join Ascendant lord or a malefic and

be in the 8th itself, the native will be short-lived.

 

Ch 24.10 Ascendant lord in 10th house: endowed with paternal happiness,

royal honour (or patronage), fame among men, and will doubtlessly have

self-earned wealth.

 

Ch 24.14 2nd lord in 2nd (in case of Rahu): the native will be proud,

wealthy, will have two or more wives, and be bereft of progeny.

 

Ch 24.22 2nd lord in 10th (in case of Saturn): will be libidinous,

honourable, and learned; he will have many wives and much wealth, but he

will be bereft of filial happiness.

 

Ch 24.32 3rd lord in 8th: the native will be a thief, will derive his

livelihood serving others, and will die at the gate of the royal palace.

 

Ch 24.41 4th lord in 5th: will be happy and liked by all; he will be devoted

to Shri Vishnu, be virtuous, honourable, and will have self-earned wealth.

 

Ch 24.57 5th lord in 9th: will be a prince, or equal to him, will author

treatises, be famous, and will shine in his race

 

Ch 24.69 6th lord in 9th: will trade in wood and stones ( " Pashan " also means

poison) and will have fluctuating professional fortunes

 

Ch 24.77 7th lord in 5th: honourable, endowed with all (i.e. seven

principal) virtues, always delighted, and endowed with all kinds of wealth.

 

Ch 24.92 8th lord in 8th: native will be long-lived. If the said planet is

weak being in the 8th house, the longevity will be medium, while the native

will be a thief, be blame worthy, and will blame others as well.

 

Ch 24.105 idem as above

 

Ch 24.117 10th lord in 9th: one born of royal scion will become a king

whereas an ordinary native will be equal to a king. This placement will

confer wealth and progenic happiness.

 

Ch 24.125 11th lord in 5th (in case of Mars): will be happy, educated and

virtuous. He will be religious, and happy.

 

Ch 24.128 11th lord in 8th: incur reversals in his undertakings, and will

live long while his wife will predecease him.

 

Ch 36.11-12: Chamar Yog: if Ascendant's lord is exalted in a kendra and

receives an aspect from Jupiter, Chamar Yoga is formed. This Yog also occurs

if 2 benefics are in asc, or the 9th, or the 10th or the 7th house. The

effects of Chamar Yog are: the native will be a king or honoured by the

king, long lived, scholarly, eloquent, and versed in all arts.

 

While the Amal Yoga and Parvat Yoga were existent in Dhanus lagna, they are

not existent here, though the Chamar Yog is actually also existent in Dhanus

lagna, having Venus and Mercury (2 benefics) in 10th house.

 

Shyamasundara wrote to me:

<<Another point is that I have numerous charts in which the lagna lord is

conjoined rahu or ketu and it is not pretty. They either are physically or

mentally disturbed or both with very rare exception. With Dhanus lagna lagna

lord becomes afflicted by Ketu.>>

This basic proposition of Shyamasundara to reject the Dhanus lagna, stating

that when lagna lord conjoins the nodes, insanity or physical disturbance is

produced, hereby is defeated in that there is an exception when Ketu

conjoins 9th lord in the 9th, and no evils will be produced. Taking into

consideration the quote from BPHS Ch. 10.9, if we take Ketu as a malefic, it

is surrounded by benefics (Jupiter-Sun) and the trines (9th house) is

occupied by benefics, Jupiter which is lagna lord and Sun, 9th lord, becomes

a temporary benefic also, while also 10th, an angle, is occupied by benefics

(Merc-Venus). Then we may surely conclude that no evils will come forth from

such a Ketu, nor from the 9th house alltogether. It may give trouble though

to children, being the 5th from the 5th.

 

Another point is that when such a Ketu is aspected (or conjoined) by the

maraka owner of 2nd or 7th (in this case Saturn aspects), death will come in

major- or sub-period of Ketu. Srila Prabhupada left for the eternal abode in

Vimshottari maha-dasha of Ketu, antardasha of Mercury, maraka 7th lord!

 

Though both charts give quite similar results, I notice more contradictions

in Makara lagna than in Dhanus lagna. Thus I am more inclined to accept the

Dhanus lagna as the right chart. Anyway, judge for yourself.

 

Your servant,
