Kalachakra Dasa Calculation in JHora

Please let PVR continue research in untrodden fields, and pray he may succeed in

clearing some of the confusions.

 

Should JHORA have two options, one for novices, and other for non-novices ?? I

think the present plan is good.

KCD Narasimha etc.

Parasara defined the dasa cycles for each nakshatra pada unambiguously, but the

matter of antardasas is murky.

dasa-antardasa combinations or antardasa leaps not sanctioned by Lord Shiva, who

taught to Parvati the results of each possible dasa-antardasa pair in savya and

apasavya chakras!

Le, Ge " . If one takes antardasas in Li dasa in this cycle to be " Li, Vi, Cn, Le,

Ge, [wrapping back] Cp, Aq, Pi, Sc " , then we have a leap (Ge->Cp) not mentioned

by Shiva or Parasara. What some people do to avoid it is to NOT wrap back but

move forward to the next dasa cycle corresponding to Aswini 3rd pada. So

antardasas in Li dasa above will be " Li, Vi, Cn, Le, Ge, [moving ahead to the

next dasa cycle of Aswini 3rd pada] Ta, Ar, Pi, Aq " . This ensures that there are

no unsanctioned leaps, but this introduces mahadasa-antardasa pairs not covered

by Shiva. It is also wrong.

Parvati reproduced in that Telugu book (conversation was in Sanskrit verses) was

that antardasas are not obtained by shifting within the dasa cycle as people do

and either wrap back to the beginning or skip to the next cycle, but by treating

the dasa sign as a nakshatra pada and finding antardasas from the dasa cycle

associated with that nakshatra pada! As you go one level down after another, you

keep iterating like that. It is a simple and yet elegant idea, which ensures

that there are no leaps or dasa-antardasa pairs that are not mentioned by Shiva.

It also shows the logical structure behind the dasa cycles associated with

nakshatra padas.

I had cracked it (he tends to jump to big conclusions very quickly). He asked me

to write a paper in our combined names for the upcoming SJC conference in India.

I told him that I still needed to figure out the apasavya nakshatra case, which

was more tricky, but he did not want to wait. I hastily figured out apasavya

nakshatra case also and sent him a paper, but it seems like he changed things

later.

> >

> > Whatever I was doing was within the framework of cycles defined by Parasara.

I deciphered the structure in it and defined antardasas so that they are based

on the same structure and do not use leaps or dasa-antardasa pairs not mentioned

by Shiva. I did NOT change any dasa sequences given by Parasara.

sequences are non-negotiable and only antardasa orders are to be deduced. You

can NOT go against Parasara's clear teachings and hope to be correct!

(the current " Rao & Rath " method is based on our joint paper and has no errors.

Any other method will have to be added newly). But I need to see exactly what he

taught.

JHora match what was given in our combined paper.

for Jyeshtha 4th pada. That is clearly inconsistent with Parasara's teachings as

well as *our own* combined paper.

please select " Rohini 4th pada is Leo navamsa " (instead of " Rohini 4th pada is

Cancer navamsa " ) in Kalachakra dasa options if you want to match the dasa cycles

taught by Parasara.

the Raghavacharya method.
