Editorial
The divine science of astrology appeals to everybody because it talks about the future.
Since future is so uncertain therefore people are often interested (and enthusiastic) about
learning it (so that their future can be easily predicted). Unfortunately today astrology
means something that can mystically talk about our future there ends the purpose of
astrology. But this is wrong. Astrology is one of the vedangas and therefore its purpose is
really to directly or indirectly take us to the ultimate goal of life of moksha (ever rejoicing in
bliss).
In order to attain moksha we need to have a smooth worldly life. If there are problems in
worldly life then we will not be able to focus on the spiritual path or the goal of moksha.
These worldly problems include all sorts of problems ranging from health issue to official
issue to personal issue to financial issue you name it and it is there in the world. The
world that constantly changes will always lead to sorrows and issues can only be expected
from the world. But a wise person knowing this will try to predict the dangers that lay
ahead, through the science of astrology. Once it is known that there can be problems in the
future, one will be careful and take precautions in order to avert the problems. Even if
problems arent fully averted (or removed) one will be able to bear with it easily (as a result
of anticipating it beforehand itself).
Many use the science of astrology just for their own benefit. It is said and is a popular belief
that if we look our own horoscopes (or those of our near and dear ones) it will not really be
effective. There could be many unknown reasons for this but the direct reason is that we
are attached to the person and therefore our mind will veil anything that is bad (or we will
have tainted vision with which we will not be able to predict things like we do for an
unknown person or a person whom we dont care much). Therefore aspiring astrologers
should strive to not look into their own horoscopes or of those whom they care about this
will only lead to lack of proper knowledge of astrology and in turn will cause trouble to
oneself and others around.
My fathers elder brother knows the nuances of astrology but his astrology is never
effective. Why so? Because he only uses it to analyze his own or his kith and kins
horoscope. Since vision is tainted therefore it never works and only leads to trouble for
3
Meena (Vijaya)
himself and others. Of what use is his knowledge of astrology as it isnt perfect or proper
and therefore will not help anybody at all?
If we cannot look at our own or near ones horoscope then how will we know whether our
predictions are true? Since we know them therefore we can verify our astrology with the
same. If thus be argued then the answer is that there are many well-known or famous
personalities in the world; we can use their horoscopes in order to learn astrology and check
our predictions. But instead of doing this, if we just analyze our own horoscopes we will find
that it doesnt serve any purpose to ourselves or others. Then we will be like the various
PhD scholars in the world who have learned all the sciences but have no peace in their mind
therefore these degrees only lead to sorrow for themselves and others.
Care should also be taken while learning the science of astrology to not jump into
conclusions. The quicker we jump to conclusions, the more wrong our analysis will be and
therefore we will cause trouble only. Therefore an astrologer will make proper predictions
only after thorough analysis of a horoscope. His analysis will be like that of a lion waiting to
pounce upon its prey. The lion will not suddenly jump but it will slowly hunt the prey by first
observing the prey, following it and eventually pouncing upon it when the time is right.
Similarly an astrologer has to make thorough analysis and then alone make predictions.
There are also many who think that the science of astrology can be learned very easily. This
is very wrong when it takes a lot of years to study a normal science in the world how can
we expect to learn the vast science of astrology quickly? Patience is a virtue that is very
much needed to learn the science of astrology; but above all, a natural flair is required
without which learning and mastery of the science of astrology is almost impossible. But if
flair along with devotion to Ishwara is there, then the science of astrology would be
mastered very soon and it would thereby help one to progress towards moksha quickly
itself.
The purpose of this magazine is to bring out the various nuances of astrology so that
through learning of the same, aspiring astrologers would be able to horn their astrologyskills. Thereby becoming masters of astrology they will serve as beacons to avert danger in
the world (thus leading to a peaceful world).

Meena (Vijaya)
May we all strive to learn and master the science of astrology so that through the same we
will be able to get rid of all sorrows and ever rejoice in bliss (through attaining the ultimate
goal of life of moksha).

Jyothishavidanustaana Vivaranam
Recap
Previously we saw that the sadhanas in order to become a true or perfect astrologer are
seven and these were listed down. Without these seven practices, a person cannot become
a true astrologer. Since a true astrologer who can predict the future is only one who has
known the non-dual reality of Brahman (realization of Brahman) therefore it goes without
saying that all these seven practices will directly or indirectly lead a person to realization.
The seven practices were japa (chanting), ahara (food), vaak (words), ishacintana
(remembrance of Ishwara), dhyaana (meditation), shaastraadhyayana (learning of the
shaastras) and samatva darshana (vision of oneness).
Though any spiritual sadhaka will know all of these, yet the author (for the sake of those
who arent into spiritual practices or dont know much about them) explain each one of
them in the successive sutras (which will see one at a time).
The first among the practices is japa or chanting.
jp #devtaya> aidvedana< va wm>,10,

japa iadevaty rudrdivedn v prathama|10|
10. Chanting is first practice and is of ones favorite deity (deitys names) or of vedic
hymns like Rudra etc.
Chanting is of many types and the other mentions a few of them. The simplest way of
chanting is the name of Ishwara. But Ishwara has different forms (33 crore devatas are
there) and therefore it becomes tough to chant all the names; therefore a person has to
choose ones favorite deity and then chant the names of the deity. Since the deity is ones
favorite or one likes the deity, therefore it becomes easy to chant it (what we like, we will
be able to implement very easily with little or no effort).

6
Meena (Vijaya)
The second type of chanting is that of sahasranama (thousands names of devataas). This
also can be that of ones own favorite deity or that of different devatas. The two most
common sahasranamas are that of Vishnu and Lalitha Devi. Care should be taken to chant
the naamaavali and not just the stotra. Stotras contain all the names in poetry form
whereas naamaavali contains each name with aum and namah chanting of aum along with
the names of deities, so many times, is much more powerful than just chanting the names a
as stotras.
The third type of chanting is that of sacred chants that are found in the Vedas. These start
with the glorious Rudram to the simplest of various sooktas like Purusha sookta, Sri sookta
etc. These are tougher to chant than the names of ones favorite deity because they have
way of chanting (like notes in music). If chanted wrongly then they will have negative
effects (though if we chant with devotion and surrender then it doesnt matter whether we
chant it properly or not).
The author categorizes these three into two types that of ones favorite deity/other deities
or that of sacred chants found in the Vedas.
As to how long or how often these have to be chanted, there is absolutely no limit at all. If it
is ones mantra then it should be chanted so often that it becomes natural like ones breath.
If it is sahasranama or sacred chants, then chanting a day would be more than enough
(though the more a person chants, the more effect one will get from it).
Chanting leads to focus or concentration on Ishwara and thereby one becomes more
focused. A person who regularly chants also will be able to ward off all problems or
obstacles faced in life as his focus is on the non-dual reality of Lord alone. But it can be
questioned as to what is the purpose of chanting in astrology this question is answered in
the next sutra by the author.
lte srSvtIkqa]< vaiGsi,11,

labhate sarasvatkaka vgsiddhica|11|
11. Through japa one attains the grace of Saraswati and power of word too.
7
Meena (Vijaya)
Chanting leads to being blessed by Saraswathi (goddess of knowledge) and also leads to the
siddhi of words. A person who regularly chants will utter everything that is true therefore
if such a person utters something, it will become true automatically. In other words he will
have power of words. This along with blessing of Sarswathi which leads a person to gain
insight into any science is essential in order to predict the future. More important than just
learning or knowing astrology (and its nuances) is the various occult powers one can get.
These powers differentiates a great or perfect astrologer from a normal astrologer whose
words might become true or not (cannot really say).
Astrology isnt just about knowing rules and telling them at the appropriate time, but it is
also about intuition. Intuition works through not just the mind or intellect but through words
as well. One whose words are blessed by Saraswathi and are powerful (endowed with power
of words) will always be true (irrespective of whether it is as per the science of astrology).
The tale of a devotee of Devi who told that it was pournami (full moon day) when it was no
moon day and how Devi made the moon appear are famous and show as to how a person
who is blessed with great words will be able to make every word of his true.
Just because ones words are coming true one shouldnt become egoistic. A person who is
truly chanting with devotion to the deity will never be egoistic and whatever he achieves in
life he will attribute it to Devi alone. Such a person alone will have power of words in the
long run.
Therefore all ardent sadhakas of astrology should strive to do all types of chanting possible
(and as much as possible) so that the science of astrology becomes fruitful through
Ishwaras blessings through ones words.
May we all strive to do the sadhana of chanting, at least daily once, so that through the
science of astrology we will be able to help ourselves and others progress towards the goal
of moksha thereby leading to ever rejoicing in bliss in this very birth itself.

Bhavartha Ratnakara - I
Dr. B.V Raman a world famous astrologer of recent times wrote many works and
contributed a lot in the field of astrology. His prediction from mundane matters to individual
horoscopes to solving various life challenging issues was awesome. Yet he was a man of
humility, who understood the vastness ad depth of astrology.
There was a magazine monthly published under his guidance for all seekers and learners of
this divine knowledge. He had done research in various aspects in astrology and also
established various centers, for the spread of this knowledge to the interested seekers.
He authored various books in astrology and one of the famous books is Bhavartha
Ratnakara. As the name of the book suggests it talks about the various houses and
significations of the houses. It talks about various aspects of life, with respect to the
houses.
We have seen earlier the ancient text Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra, Jataka Parijata vol 3 and
Phaladeepika on the various houses and their significations. So lets understand and analyse
this book and views of Dr B.V. Raman.
Lets see various aspects dealt with in this book. In this edition we shall see the seventh
house significations as mentioned in the book. Lets analyse a few charts in this context as
well.
One of the chapters of the work deals with the seventh chapter and significations of it. Lets
analyse the effects of the cause the various charts and understand what the text explains.
We have to understand the effects of the chart and the results in the lfie of people, bearing
in mind the current living pattern. As per the law and order more than one wife is not
permitted in India. So when text says more than one wife, then it can happen either
illegitimate affairs, or due to divorce and remarriage or due to death of wife.
Sloka 1: If the lord of the 7 th is combined with venus has no malefic aspects or
conjunctions, the person will have only one marriage.
9
Meena (Vijaya)
Sloka 2: If the lord of the 7th is combined with malefics and malefics are in the 2 nd and the
7th or if venus is debilitated or in the 11th house or if the 7th lord is in 6th or 12th, the native
will have more than one wife. The native will have this indication of malefics are in lagna.
Chart 1
Analysis:
In the above chart we see that the 7 th lord venus is with malefic sun. The 7 th house has
malefic rahu and aspected by malefic mars. Venus is in the 11 th house from lagna. Malefic
ketu is also in lagna with lagna lord. All these are indications that the native can have more
than one marriage. We can see mandi in the 2 nd house as well. Thus 2nd, 7th lords and
hosues are afflicted. Even venus is debilitiated in the above chart. So there were less
chances for the native to survive marriage. The native was a divorcee.

10
Meena (Vijaya)
Chart 2
Analysis:
The native is also a divorcee. We see that 7th lord sun is in 12th house from lagna. 7th lord
sun Is with a malefic rahu. Lagna is not apsected by any malefics. 7 th house has 6th lord
moon which is a malefic due to owning 6th house. 2nd house is not afflicted.
Lagna is aspected by Saturn. So venus is aspected by malefic Saturn. Due to all the malefic
associations and aspects the marriage didnt work out.
Sloka 3: If Saturn, mars and venus are weak and occupy, 2 nd, 4th, 7th, 8th and 12th houses ,
the native will have two wives. The same is the case with mars in any of the given positions.

11
Meena (Vijaya)
Chart 3
Analysis:
In the above chart we see that Saturn is with mandi which is also a malefic. This makes
Saturn weak. Mars is in the 4th house and venus is in the 8th house. Thus all planets are
weak and in the houses 3rd ,4th, 8th. We see that 9th lord Jupiter is in the 12th house and
aspected by Saturn and sun the malefics. 7th house is also aspected by malefic mars.
Thus the planets, the lords of houses and the houses are afflicted besides that Saturn, mars
and venus are weak. Thus it lead to divorce for the native.
Sloka 4: If Jupiter is in 2nd the person will have 2nd wife later in life.
Sloka 5: If Saturn is in the 2nd or rahu in the 7th, two marriages are indicated.

12
Meena (Vijaya)
Chart 4
Analysis:
We see that native has rahu in lagna . 2nd house is aspected by Jupiter. This all shows the
likelihood of secong marriage. The native is a divorcee. The 7 th lord mars is in the 11th
house. Venus is also in the 11th house. The 7th house is afflicted with ketu. 2nd house is
aspected by malefic mars. So there are many afflictions to 2 nd and 7th houses and lords.
Rahu is also in lagna. Thus the native has to undergo divorcee.
Sloka 6: If the 2nd and 7th are occupied by either their respective lords or venus and if the
two houses are associated with benefics, the number of such benefics indicates the number
of living wifes the native will have , while only one wife will live if malefics join the above
combination.
Sloka 7: If there is venus and Saturn combination in the 7th, the native will be attached to
his own wife.

13
Meena (Vijaya)
Sloka 8: Mercury in 7th makes the person addicted to other women, while Jupiter there
gives a devoted wife.
Sloka 9: The person becomes skillful if rahu is in the 7 th, while ketu there will make the wife
a shrew.
Thus we have analysed through some charts the reasons behind marriage not working in
some cases. We have seen that all the points mentioned by B.V Raman in his text has
proven to be true. We have seen charts which show many of the points stated as true.

Sarvartha Chintamani - Understanding

In the earlier editions of the magazine we have seen the twelve houses and its signification.
We have seen the first 8 chapter of the text. WE shall now look into the 9 th chapter of the
text which deals with Rajayogas. In series of editions we shall analyse this chapter fully with
examples.
Sloka 1& 2 : If there are planets in exaltation in any birth chart, the native becomes king of
kings. He will be ruler over many territories. If there are five planets in exaltation and
Jupiter is exalted in lagna, the native becomes a king.
If the ascendant is aquarius and venus is exalted and there are four planets in exaltation
totally, there are no planets in debilitation navamsa or cruel shastiamsa, even then the
native becomes a king.
Sloka 3 to 5: If moon is in its sign of exaltation in lagna and there are 6 planets in
exaltation, the native becomes a king. If planets are exalted anywhere in a horoscope the
native becomes a king. When the planets are in its own houses in a chart, the native though
not a king is equal to a status of a king.
If three planets occupy their moolatrikona sign or three planets are in their friendly signs in
retrogression and rest are located in exalted signs, without occupying the debilitation
navamsa, the native has status equal to that of a king.
15
Meena (Vijaya)
Even a single planet in exaltation and aspected by a friendly planet makes the status of the
native of that of a king having much wealth and successful due to cooperation of friends. On
the other hand many planets are occupying the inimical and debilitation positions the native
becomes devoid of wealth and comforts, foolish, diseased with no freedom and with a
temperament that threatens the life of others.
Sloka 6 to 8: It is very nice to be born in the ascendant that has the navamsha sign as the
sign in lagna. Birth chart having mutual benefic planet in 2 nd house from sun is also very
nice for the native. To have planets in the kendras is also sign of high luck. when two or
more planets in exaltation signs are in cardinal houses and are in kendras from each other
they are said to constitute karaka yoga.
Sloka 9: The native is like a king, if moon occupies the lagna, Jupiter in the 4 th, venus in the
10th and if Saturn is in its own or exaltation sign.
Sloka 10: Native is like a king is benefics are located in 10th, 12th ,11th, 1st, 2nd and 3rd house
of a horoscope.

16
Meena (Vijaya)
Sloka 11: A man is equal to a king, if benefics are located in the kendras and trikonas and
the malefics occupy the 3rd, 6th and 11th and the lagna lord is strong.
Sloka 12: If Jupiter is associated or is aspected by mercury even the kings obey the native.
Sloka 13: when the planet located in the sign of debilitation, but the lord of sign of
debilitation or exaltation is in a Kendra from lagna, the native rules over all kings.
Lets analyse few charts and see how the above mentioned rajayogas apply to these charts.
Chart 1 Lord Krishna
Analysis:
As per sloka 9, if moon is in lagna, Jupiter is in 4 th and venus 10th with Saturn own or
exalted position, makes one a king. In the above horoscope we see the same condition
Moon is exalted in lagna and Jupiter is in 4th. Saturn is not own or exalted house and venus
is not in 10th. But still Lord Krishna was a king. This chart also has one planet in exaltation
i.e moon. This also made him a king.

17
Meena (Vijaya)
Also all the benefics, moon, mercury, Jupiter are in kendras and konas and rest are in 3 rd,
8th houses.
Chart 2 swami vidyaranya
Analysis:
AS mentioned in slokas 2 to 4, the number of exaltation planets in Kendra and trikona make
the native a king. We see here that venus is exalted and is aspecting 10 th house. Venus in
10th is also indication of a king. Sun is in the 5 th house and is exalted. So there are two
planets exalted in the Kendra and trikona. Jupiter the lagna lord is in its own house. Thus
we see that though the native turned out to be a swami, but earlier life he was a king.
Due to so many exaltation planets, the life of the person was lead like a king.
Chart 3 King Akbar

18
Meena (Vijaya)
Analysis:
In the above chart we see that two planets mars in the 4 th and Saturn in lagna are exalted.
Lagna lord is in its own house. The exalted planets mars and saturn are at Kendra distance
with each other. This all shows that the native will be a king beyond doubt.
Chart 4
Sri Sri Ravi Shankar
Analysis:
In this chart we see that the native has three planets in exaltation. Sun the lord of 5 th
house, Jupiter the 9th lord and mars the lagna and 8th lord. Thus the native is like a king. He
has a huge empire, not literally but due to support of masses. There are many centers of his
ashram established all over the world. He travels around the world in comfort and has huge
number of followers.
Thus we can say that the number of exaltation planets has made the person like a king. We
also see that there are no debilitated planets.

19
Chart 5
Meena (Vijaya)
Gandhi ji
Analysis:
Native does not have exaltation planets. But venus and moon are in their own houses. We
see that the native had to struggle a lot in life, though he had success in his ventures. Thus
it was not a kingly life with comforts. But he was able to make the kings or rulers of the
land bow down before him and exit the country.
He achieved something without any weapon or violence. He had many followers and many
joined his freedom movement. Thus with help of masses the all-powerful British rulers had
to leave the land. There should be some combination in the chart that pulled down the
government.
Moon stands for masses and its in 10th with rahu gave him many followers. The sun
representing government is in the 12th. He had to face many legal issues from government
and also the british government was against him, due to this factor.

20
Meena (Vijaya)
But Jupiter and mercury opposite each other gave him the success of throwing out the
british from the county. The kings or rulers have to listen to a native who has Jupiter and
mercury together or opposite to each other. Here the opposing factor helps even more.
We find this combination in some of the patriots of our times, like savarkar, chittaranjan das
and Rajendra Prasad. Thus natives with this combination, and other good yogas will make
the kings listen to them.
Chart 5
Darshika Ji
Analysis:
We see that the native has two planets in debility ie. Sun and mars. Moon is exalted. But
both mars and sun are in neecha bhanga due to being located in the kendras. Also the lord
of debilitation sign for sun is venus and the exaltation sign of sun is mars. Thus the lord of
the sign of exaltation mars is in Kendra. Also the sign of exaltation of the mars i.e Saturn is
21
Meena (Vijaya)
not in Kendra and also the sign of debilitation of mars i.e moon is also not in Kendra. So
Mars does not have the condition.
As the condition as we have seen above for raja yoga is applied in this case, the native is
like a king of all kings. Native is head of one center of ashram. Native has lot of appreciation
from the head of the ashram and is doing a greater and envious job compared to the
natives higher authorities. She has more reputation than the other heads of various
centers. So she is like a king compared to all other heads of centers.
Thus we see that the raja yogas are in chart of famous rulers of countries in the world like
augustus ceaser and many others as well people heading the ashrams and various spiritual
centers and ashram as well. Even patriots of the country had some raja yoga to an extent.
We have seen some freedom fighters who are part of this yoga.
We shall explore more points in the text in the next edition of the magazine.

Nakshatras - III
For many auspicious events like conducting marriages, naming ceremonies, upanayanam,
house warming etc, we try to see a good date or time, so that the event goes smooth
without any troubles through the surrounding environment, people or the gods. Hence
performing auspicious events in good time and date is very essential for having a peaceful
and harmonious life.
The auspicious date and time can be determined by considering the stars. Each star is good
for performing certain activities. Marriages are good to perform in some stars mostly many
of the stars where for upanayanam only stars and dates are favorable. Its said that to find
a auspicious time for upanayanam is very tough as the event is highly auspicious than any
other event in a persons life.
Likewise many people begin even small activities like opening a shop or wearing new dress
or wearing new ornaments, buying a vehicle or land etc based on the stars and other factors
as well. So looking up stars and knowing the auspiciousness of the date and time an
performing activities accordingly is part of our culture and religion.
So Apart from knowing peoples nature and behavior based on the star we can also
determine the suitable time for events based on stars as one of the factors. Stars checking
is one part of finding out a muhurtha. We have seen earlier how to have a right
understanding of people and behaving appropriately and having right expectations based on
stars.
Lets continue on our analysis of stars and their characteristics. We had seen til the 6 th star
Ardra or thiruvadira in our last edition of magazine. We shall continue from the 7 th star i.e
Punarvasu or Punartham.
Punarvasu\ Punartham
This star is in the form of potters wheel. It belongs to the divine group. Red in color, the
star is likened to the bamboo tree, the swan and the sound of the pranava(AUM). Lord
Rama was born in this star.
23
Meena (Vijaya)
It belongs to the deva gana and is female gender. The animal symbol of this star is cat.
The weakest portion of the body for this star is stomach.
General characteristics
The ruling lord is Jupiter and the house lord is either mercury or moon. The nature of star
depends of the characteristics from the combination.
They are very virtuous, they wont tell a lie and they will relish their food well. They will take
to any work with enthusiasm and they will not be lacking in effort which naturally brings
them success.
They may always be cheerful and have many friends. They will charm others by their soft
spoken words and be gentle and merciful to all people.
They slowly pickup things, authority oriented, they will be good people, social life, comforts,
respected by others, leadership, sentimentalism etc can be seen in them.
Pada Characteristics
First three padas of this star fall in mithuna and one in Karkataka. The ruling planet for this
star is Jupiter. The lords of the padas are mars, venus, mercury and moon. Jupiter rules for
16 yrs.
pada 1 Mars is the lord of this pada. They are intellectual conflicts and they might land in
trouble, power oriented. With lofty ideals the native may be pious, devoted and respectful to
elders. They are rebellious in nature and keep conflicting their ideas and views.
pada 2 Venus is the lord of this pada. They love ornaments and decorations. Diplomatic,
social people, seek comfortable life and pleasures, courts dresses to please others.

24
Meena (Vijaya)
pada 3 Mercury is the lord of this pada. The native will be intelligent, eloquent in speech
and have handsome appearance. He will be sensual. scientists, sharp intellectual, going
around the world belong to this category. They cannot be spiritual. They are selfish in
nature. They suffer from ailments for long.
pada 4 Moon is the lord of pada as well as the rasi house. The native is handsome,
cheerful and pleasant in speech. Religious, comforts, material, wealth, life full of pleasures,
they may become devotees.
For naming children the letters to begin with are ke , ko , ha, hi respectively for
each pada.
Those born in this star shall have tours and they will succeed in their ventures and
expectations.
Affected by baalarista, the natives will suffer from illness for 16 years. But the right type of
shaanti performed according to the pada will confer happiness and longevity.
If natural calamity occurs in this star it will cause lot of damage. If sun transits this star the
price of commodities will remain stable. Girls attaining puberty under this star would like to
live life as per their desires.
Star is good for performance of pumsuvanam , seemantam , naming, ear-piercing and
holy thread ceremonies. This is also auspicious for starting studies or teaching lessons also
good for wearing new clothes. Auspicious star to commence classes on music or painting.
The star is good for house warming and for nuptial ceremonies. Without difficulty the native
will enjoy happiness from inherited wealth of gifts from others savings.
If he has cows he will have plenty of milk, due to blessings of this star.
Work suggested: good day for building dams, planting, seeds and ploughing the land.

25
Meena (Vijaya)
This star is seen above the head in the month of January at midnight. Being bright and
appearing like wheel with 5 stars it is easily visible.
When we hear the star of punarvasu, it is Sri Rama who first comes to our mind (as Rama
was born in this star). People born in stars with good planets as starting dasha are said to
have done some punya. It can also be said that if the starting planet is a malefic and
danger-causing planet for a horoscope, then it is best that the period is crossed over in
young age itself.
For Punarvasu, the dasha starts with jupiter. People born in this star are generally attractive
(in one or the other way). They are also known to be proud about themselves (anything
that hurts or affects their pride will be taken seriously by them). In a way, they are softnatured except when provoked by others. In a way we can say that it depends as to where
such people's focus is - if focus is on the world, then they will be very worldly and cannot
get into spirituality or spiritual values easily. But if they are spiritual then they will progress
very quickly into spirituality. And unfortunately, punarvasu people cannot get into
spirituality easily.
Like Rama, such people also will face issues in life (of one sort or the other). They are also

Work that can be done:

If in the eight sign from ones lagna the moon were to be transiting, it is called
chandraastama lasting 2.5 days. On such days any work not necessarily auspicious ones has
to be done after much consideration and with care. But this star even transcends the
chandraastamam defect. When sun transits this star, the prices will be moderate and
production of grains will be in plenty.
If the girl attains puberty in this star no shaanti is needed. After marriage they will get
good male children.
It is good for learning music or dancing. Auspicious ceremonies like seemantam, naming of
children and upanayanam can be performed. Also good for commencing the agricultural
events and study of Vedas and sastraas and to wear new jewels.
Good star for laying foundation stone, building houses, house-warming and to plant
sugarcane, paddy and betel plants. But it is not good for marriages. Any work undertaken
will be rid of all difficulties and obstacles , the enemies power will be dwindled. This star
can be seen in the sky after 10:30 p.m in the month of February.
Generally people with cancer rasi are said to not have a good worldly life. They need to take
up spiritual life or focus more on spiritual activities in life. People are generally mind based
and emotional as moon in its own house.
Generally pooyam people are fluctuating in nature, easy going and fun loving. They cannot
be entrusted, generally, to do serious work (and with full dedication). Since the dasha starts
with saturn therefore their character also will be that of saturn. Saturn-oriented people are
generally dark with respect to external appearance as well as character. They will be smart,
tricky and often cheating as well in nature. Though smart, still they will slow in doing
actions (and will often do it carelessly as well).
All the characteristics are general alone and other aspects of the horoscope has to be
thoroughly analyze before confirming any qualities of the person.

2nd pada This is ruled by Saturn. Such people will have position, can be ministers, intellect
is not sharp, they lack discrimination. The native will be afflicted by some illness. Although
their stomach is full they will feel gluttonous. They will do sinful deeds without hesitation.
They will seek to amass wealth by associating with mean fellows and indulging in anti-social

any mishap. Sattwa guna is more dominate here.
This star people if they are spiritual will help them in life. Deceit, craftiness, dishonesty are
generally seen in this star.
This star is ruled by mercury for duration of 17 years. Its a male star.
Since mercury is the ruler therefore these people are smart or intellectually strong - yet
most times we find that they are a bit slow (not very sharp like vishaka or rohini). Also
another feature of these people are they are silent doers (when given tasks) and they don't
talk too much (like pooyam people, for example).
But the greatest disadvantage of this star is that it is like a cursed star - some or the other
bad will befall them and therefore they should become spiritual and then alone they will be
truly benefit in the world.

Muhurtha Electional Astrology - I

Time is an important factor in our lives. Whole world is based on time. Everything changes
in the world based on time. Creation, protection and destruction happens in time. Right
from birth of child, its growth into childhood and becoming a teenager as well as growing
old, everything is time based. We cannot quicken anything much or skip any step.
Everything happens when time comes. All events are time based. For the seeds to sprout,
or birth of child, for harvest or for ripening of fruits everything has a specific time when it
happens. Even in human beings life there is time for studies, for marriage, for children and
for job as well.
Even the day to day events in life have time. We cannot take food at 6 in the morning and
we cannot sleep at 4 in the evening. There is time for each activity in a day. Thats why its
said that time is a very strong factor in life. Each activity should be done on right time. We
cannot take bath at 2 p.m afternoon and brush in the evening. If we do not follow proper
time for the daily activities we perform in a day, our whole day will be in chaos. One day we
change our routine and our body reacts differently. Our routine determines our health and
helps in maintenance of body. Doctors even advise to follow routine in life for proper health.
Irregular eating or sleeping, causes diseases. One cannot marry at 60 yrs. The body will not
be suitable to bear children.
So we can now understand the importance of time for the smallest of activity in life like
eating and brushing to major events in life like marrying etc. Even nature follows this law.
There are seasons across the year. Its hot in summer season and rains in rainy season and
is cold in winter season. We do feel cold in summer season. There is a particular time in
year when apples ripen. There is time of year when fruits are available. Mango is not
available in December which is winter season but in summer which is hot season. There are
certain animals which give birth based on seasons. Birds migrate based on this season. The
lifes of animals and birds is also based on time.
The order of the entire world is based on time. One who doesnt know the value of time, can
never understand science of astrology. This time is determined by the motion of sun and
moon. When the sun is nearer to the earth its hotter than when its farther away. Thus
seasons are determined by the sun. The day and night is also determined by the motions of
31
Meena (Vijaya)
the sun and the moon. Based on this, the time of day and night and season of year is
determined. All activities under the earth happen due to the energy released from the sun.
The sum total of all energies originates from the sun. The life exists due to sun and moon.
As we now understand the value of time and the source of the energy, lets understand
what is muhurtha. Muhurtha is to determine the right time to do any activity for success
and to avoid obstacles or reduce obstacles. Time for harvesting cannot be rainy season as
that will wash away crop. So as we have seen there is right time for activities to be done.
This choosing of right time is called muhurtha.
We may have a question as to what is the difference between horoscopy and muhurtha.
Horoscope shows the sum total of all the past karma balance with which we have been
born. Its based on the planetary positions at the time of birth. Its like a balance sheet in
the bank. It shows what we are eligible for in this life. Muhurtha is about the current time.
How choosing the right time we can avoid, reduce or minimize the evil effects and attain
success. This doesnt mean the evil effects in the chart can be warded off. But this definitely
means we can control them to an extent by choosing the right time for these activities.
A right time or muhurtha is when all positive energies are concentrated in the universe. Sun
and moon are sources of energy for earth. Hence the calculation of muhurtha is determined
on the motion of sun and moon. Each body in the universe radiates energies both positive
and negative. Even human body radiates energies. So muhurtha is sum total of all these
invisible energies that determines the course of actions, thoughts and words.
Thus muhurtha is that precious moment and important in our lifes that can change our
course of life and standard of living. All the hindu ceremonies in life are based on
muhurthas. Small activities like cutting hair, nails or going on pilgrimages are all based on
appropriate time. In our ancient culture and tradition, muhurtha is part of life.
We shall see in the next edition more on what constitutes muhurtha and understand more
about panchanga.

Analysis of learning disability

Some children at the time of birth develop lack of learning or grasping capacity. It can be
due to nature of birth or by birth defect. Some children due to serious illness at very young
age may develop such disabilities as they grow. High fevers can also be cause of damaging
the growing cells in a few months old born child. They show symptons of learning disability
at very young age. The symptoms become more clear when children join school.
Slow in learning, understanding grasping retaining knowledge of world and its objects falls
under this disorder. Mercury is related to nerves and brain, which could lead to such
problems. Lagna, 5th house, 5th lord or 2nd house all stand for head. Malefics Saturn and
mars and its association with lagna, mercury not well placed or associated with these
malefics, the 6th lord and house all play important role.
Lets see few charts of children having learning disability. All these children are within 2 to
10 years of age. Lets see what causes this disorder and how we can identify it in the charts.
We had 4 samples of the charts of children suffering from same disability.
Chart 1

33
Meena (Vijaya)
Analysis:
In this chart we see that lagna, 5th house and 2nd house all are afflicted.
Lagna has rahu and hence afflicted. Lagna has no benefic aspects. Lagna has only 3 points
on astakavarga. But total points are 30 for lagna, so its a saving factor. From moon either
side of the lagna has evil planets Saturn and ketu. This is papakartari yoga. Hence affliction
is there.
Lagna lord is in 8th house, which is house of trouble. This shows body troubles will be there
through life. Lagna lord Jupiter is with 6th lord sun. Jupiter is also aspected by mars which is
a malefic. This also shows troubles and diseases for the body.
2nd house has mars and is aspected by Saturn. This is a major affliction in the chart. 2 nd also
stands for head. Saturn and mars influences show operation or wounds on the head. But 2 nd
lord mars is in its own house, Which is positive.
From moon also the 2nd house is afflicted by ketu. Saturn also aspects the 2 nd house. Thus
we see that 2nd house is afflicted from moon as well as from lagna. 2 nd lord mercury is well
placed in 4th , but with 3rd and 10th lord which is not a very positive factor. Over all 2 nd
house is afflicted.
5th house from lagna has Saturn in it. Also mars aspects the 5 th house. This also indicates
troubles to head . It also indicates, wounds or operations. 5 th lord moon is in 6th house. This
is also not a good location. 5th lord moon is having papakartari yoga. It is having evil
planets on both sides. So 5th from lagna is afflicted.
From moon the 5th house has mandi. This shows trouble. The 5 th lord Jupiter is in 3rd house,
which is not a good location. Jupiter is aspected by mars as well. So the lord is afflicted.
Mercury is afflicted by mars. Mercury is with venus, which is malefic for Pisces lagna. Venus
is the 8th lord. So mercury with 8th lord will give trouble to brain. Also mercury has
kendradhipathi dosha and cannot do much good here.

34
Meena (Vijaya)
The 6th lord from lagna which is sun is in the 8 th house. This show serious illness. There can
be a tumour in the brain.
Thus all above factors show that brain is affected in many ways for this child.
Chart 2
Analysis:
We see that lagna, 2nd house and 5th are afflicted.
Lagna has mars and Saturn. This shows that head portion is effected and may result in
wounds or cuts. Lagna lord mercury is in the 11th house, which is not favourable and it is
associated with 12th lord of losses. So its again not favourable.
From moon, the rasi lord mars is in 12 th with Saturn. So it is afflicted. On either side of
moon there are malefics. This shows papakartari yoga. This also means effecting the brain.

35
Meena (Vijaya)
From lagna the 5th lord Saturn is with malefic mars, which shows that 5 th lord is afflicted. 5th
house is aspected by Jupiter, sun and mercury. So it is a saving factor. The 5 th house in
astakavarga carries 21 points only. Also the 5th lord is in 29 deg, which is border, rendering
it powerless.
From moon the 5th house is aspected by mandi. There are no benefic aspects. The 5 th lord
Saturn is with mars in the 12th house. This also creates problems.
The 2nd lord from lagna is venus and is aspected by rahu, though with jupiter. 2 nd house on
either side has malefics, leading to papakartari yoga.
The 2nd house from moon has rahu in it and aspected by Saturn. The 2 nd lord mars is in the
12th house with saturn. All this show afflictions to the 2 nd house and lord.
The 6th lord from lagna i.e Saturn is with mars, which shows lot of health issues. The 6 th lord
from moon i.e Jupiter is in the 8th house with 8th lord venus. This also shows lot of helath
issues for the person.
Mercury is with sun and is not aspected by any malefics and is safe.
Thus we see that key role is played by mars and Saturn being in the lagna.
Chart 3

36
Meena (Vijaya)
Analysis:
Lagna lord venus is in the 10th house which is good. But it is in enemies house with mandi
and rahu. So it is afflicted partially.
Lagna is aspected by Jupiter, which is positive.
From moon the rasi lord sun is in the 6th house which is not good. Moon is afflicted by rahu
and ketu, though venus and mercury aspects are there.
From lagna the 2nd lord is in 10th house is good, but it is in enemies house and it is with
mandi and rahu. So it is afflicted to an extent.
From lagna the 2nd house is aspected by mars. There are no benefic aspects to it.
From moon the 2nd lord mercury is with malefics mandi and rahu and also with benefic
venus.
The 2nd house from moon is aspected Saturn. There are no benefic aspects.
From lagna the 5th lord mercury is in malefic house though in Kendra and with venus. It is
also with malefics mandi and rahu.
From lagna the 5th house is aspected by Saturn. There are no benefic aspects.
From moon the 5th house has mars, which is a malefic. the 5th lord Jupiter is in Kendra so
good only.
From lagna the 6th lord venus is in the 10th house, with malefics. Shows that the native can
suffer from tumour of brain. Mercury is also afflicted here.
From moon the 6th lord is in the 12th and 6th house has sun, thus shows some ailments.
Moon is at 2 degree in the chart, this shows the problems with head as well. In bhava chart
Saturn is with moon, this also increases afflictions to moon.
Thus we see in the above chart many factors leading to the disability.
Most of the charts we have seen till now, we find that lagna, 2 nd and 5th house are equally
effected. From moon also the 2 nd and 5th houses are afflicted. We also can observe the role
of mars and Saturn in the entire horoscope. The aspects and association of these planets
has played a vital role. Even the 6th lord and 6th house has been an important factor.
One has also to consider the astakavarga points for each house as well as individual points
to determine the strength of the house and planet. This also needs to be considered as one

37
Meena (Vijaya)
of the factors. The degrees occupied by the planets, lagna also need to be looked at to know
the good/bad influences of planets and lagna.
The intensity of the effect depends on the strength of planets and also the benefic planets
aspects and associations. The number of negative factors also determines the seriousness of
the ailment. Recovery and period of recovery depends on the benefic influences in the chart.
Propitiation done will help a person to reduce or remove the effects of the same.

Dr Balamurali Krishna
Analysis:
Saturn in lagna has given a dark skin color and made him short statured. Lagna lord Jupiter
is having kendradhipathi dosa and is with sun. Thus is not very beneficial and hence didnt
provide a bright outer appearance. Saturn in lagna made him not so traditional and
unconventional at same time. But benefics aspecting lagna and with lagna lord made him a
strong personality. Multiple planets influence in lagna shows that he versatile genius. Lagna
lord with 9th lord, made him a lucky person in life. He didnt not face much difficulties in life
and came easily to name and fame.
The prominent yoga we can see in the chart is bhadra yoga. 7 th lord exalted and forming
bhadra yoga. This has given unbound name and fame in the world of Carnatic music. The
7th lord in his own house with the 9th lord sun has given him lot of luck. Without much effort
he attained great heights of name and fame and all came so easy to him. Three planets in
the 7th house and Saturn aspecting the 7th gave him all popularity. From moon also the lord
of the house where moon is, is in the 7th house.

40
Meena (Vijaya)
Dr Balamurali Krishnas mother died in few days after his birth. The 4 th lord Jupiter is in 7th
house which is good, but moon karaka for mother is in the 12 th house with mandi. Also the
4th lord is with sun and opposed by Saturn. This also might have lead to demise of his
mother. Even his father didnt live for long. This also may be due to sun and Saturday
combination as sun stands for father.
If we see ashtakavarga there are 35 points in the 5 th house from lagna. This shows his
innovation and imagination in the field of music. His highly mental capability as a musician
is seen. Also he is a mentally strong person as well. So many points in the 5 th house show
purva punya. So he has got all the music knowledge from his previous birth. Thus we see he
was a child prodigy at very young age in the field of music. This is due to the 5 th house
having so many points.
The art of music and singing depends on planet in venus and the 2 nd house. If we see the
2nd lord Saturn is aspecting by three planets. This has given the strength in his voice and
also the ability. From moon also the 2nd house is aspected by three planets, which made
him a great musician. Venus the planet of singing aspects the 2 nd house of singing from
lagna. Venus is in the 8th house from lagna but from moon its in the 9 th house and given
him devotional singing.
We see adhi yoga in the chart. There are benefics in 6th, 7th and 8th houses of the chart. This
shows that the person will have lot of wealth and prosperity.
The 10th lord mercury in the 7th house with Jupiter lagna lord, made him excel in his job and
have high positions. He worked in All India radio in high position. But from moon the 10 th
lord sun is in the 8th house, did not give him a continuous job. His life was dedicated more
to performances and teaching and spreading music.
Many planets in the 7th have given him many travel along with name and fame. He has
travelled abroad and spread music there and also has many disciples.
Thus we see that he is over all a lucky person who has lot of name and fame.

Swami Amritasvaroopananda Puri

In the wake of lot of accusations against swami ji and he becoming the talk of the town, It
cannot be a better opportunity than this to
discuss swami jis chart. From spiritual
perspective what does the chart show and how swami ji is known better than rest of
swamis. we can get better insights in swami jis relationship with AMMA.
A little information about swami jis life would help us to analyse his chart better and
understand it. Swamiji lost his biological mother as we all know at a very young age. His
father is said to be strict disciplinarian and swami ji was scared of his father in his childhood
days. We know that swami ji regards AMMA as own mother after he met AMMA in 1979.
Swami ji has one brother who also joined the line of sanyaasa. Swami ji is famous as seen
with AMMA most of the time.
Below is the chart of swami ji.

42
Meena (Vijaya)
Sanyaasa yoga
We see that swami ji has pravrijya yoga occuring in the 11 th house. This yoga is strong in
Kendra and trikona and is good spirituality. In 11th house it gives lot of raja yoga along with
sanyaasa yoga. Swami ji goes around the world with AMMA and has visited many places and
represented AMMA at many forums. This yoga shows that all worldly comforts will be there
and all desires get fulfilled.
Generally there are 4 planets making the pravrijya yoga. Here shadowy planet is generally
not considered. But Jupiter aspecting the planetary combination and ketu is with it so we
can take it to have the same effect as pravrijya yoga. Jupiter is also the 10 th lord. Its said
that if the 10th lord is involved along with the other planets in the four planetary
combination, the person attains final emancipation. But here in swamijis chart we see that
10th lord Jupiter aspects the combination.
So we can say that its not a very strong pravrijya yoga, nor the rule of final liberation
exactly works here. Due to the planets in 11 th causing Raja yoga, the person entered into
sanyaasa, though other sanyaasa yoga is not strong.
General horoscope Analysis
We can see that moon which is the 2nd lord is in lagna with mars. Moon in lagna indicates
immaturity. Mars shows aggressiveness. Thats why people find swamiji sweet at times and
sometimes angry. Also as mars and moon are in lagna the native will be royal,
straightforward, dynamic, energetic and outspoken.
Moon in lagna also denotes that person will be close to mother. We all know that Swami ji
considers AMMA as own mother. Such natives will be darlings to their mothers. They will be
influenced in life by mother. Moon in lagna also makes a person moody. Native will also a
good appearance.
Mars in lagna denotes that brothers also will be along with the person. Thats reason how
swami jis biological brother also is part of ashram and took to sanyaasa. Mars in lagna also
denotes bravery and aggressiveness. As mars is with 2nd lord also, sometimes words are
harsh and rude.

43
Meena (Vijaya)
Another important factor in the horoscope is the parivartana yoga between mercury and
mars, the lagna lord and the 11th lord. This gives lot of benefits and yoga to the native. This
is a big raja yoga. 1st, 4th lords mercury is in parivartana with 6th and 11th lord mars. This
shows that all desires will be fulfilled by Devi. Venus represents devi and venus is also in the
11th house of desires. 11th having planets also means they will have some people around
them. So swami ji doesnt have followers but some group of people hang around always
with him.
Mercury the lagna lord is in 11th house with benfic venus and in lagna moon is present.
Though sun is with venus and mars with moon, still swami ji has big body, due to these
benefics venus and moon influences with lagna and lagna lord mercury. Generally also
mithuna lagna people are said to be fat.
Mithuna is a dual sign. The symbol is of two boys. So it shows dual character. Also there are
many planets influencing lagna and lagna lord. Almost all planets influence either the lagna
or lagna lord except Saturn. So thus we see swamiji as a multifaceted personality. He has
much capability to handle and understand many aspects in life. We also see swami ji as
playing with AMMA, this is all due to the dual character of mithuna. Mithuna people are
generally highly intellectual. Mars in lagna makes swami even a logician to analyse and
criticize. Moon in lagna in house of mercury is considered good. It gives an emotional and
intellectual balance.
6th lord mars is with moon which is 2nd lord. This is the cause of throat problem for swami ji.
He had to undergo operations. The 8th lord Saturn is in 6th house and 6th lord is in lagna, all
these show lot of health issues. Even the 6th lord mars aspects the 8th house. The 8th house
in the chart is effected by mars and Saturn. So the link between the 6 th and 8th lords and
houses is reason behind many health issues.
Speaking about swami jis brother, We see that mars in lagna made his brother also join
him and be with him. Jupiter is in the 3rd house. This shows that brother is more
dominating. The native listens to his brother. Brother has influence over him. The 3 rd lord
sun is also exalted. So brother is power oriented. As 3rd lord is exalted and benefic is in the
3rd house, so swami ji is known to be very brave. We know well through certain events in
his life, which we all are well aware of.
44
Meena (Vijaya)
Regarding swami jis biological mother, we see that moon with mars which is 6th lord and
mandi in 4th made his mother pass away very early in life. Mandi in 4 th is aspected by mars
which is not a good indication for properties, studies or mother. But as the 4 th lord is in the
11th houses, swami ji due to AMMAs grace had good education academically.
The 5th house is influenced by sun which is exalted, venus, mercury , rahu and ketu. Jupiter
also aspects the 5th lord venus. Thus 5th lord venus is with many planets and 5th house is
aspected by many planets. This shows lot of mental capability. Swami jis degress can be
attributed to this. Even the high imagination capability, Good memory, focus and similar
capabilities the native will have. We all know that swami ji is mentally very strong. This
shows lot of tapas was done, as we all know in earlier days how swamis would sit nd
meditate for hrs.
Sun exalted gives divine knowledge and sharp mind. Mercury gives good sense of humor
and also sharp intellect. Venus aspecting 5th house had made swamji a great singer. 5th lord
is in 11th lord hence all desires of swami are fulfilled by AMMA or devi. 5 th lord being venus
also denotes swami is a devi bhakta. 3rd lord sun associated with venus, might have made
swami an artist who acted in dramas as well. Rahu and ketu are the malefic in the 5th house
and aspecting 5th house. This also shows some bad names, some confusions in mind at
times. But swami has more good name than bad name. So many benefics in 5 th shows
name and fame.
The 5th lord is aspected by jupiter and 7th lord is aspected by Jupiter. So all name and fame
for swami ji is due to AMMA or through AMMA. The 7 th lord Jupiter is in 3rd house and
aspected by 8th lord and 9th lord Saturn. Venus is also in 11th house. May be this is the
reason that many people opined that chances of marriage were there in swami ji chart.
The 9th lord saturn is in 6th house, which is not good. Also sun is exalted. So swami was not
close with father, but his father was very strict and disciplined man as we can see the sun
exalted in the chart which represents father. Also 9 th house is aspected by Jupiter. This
shows that father was powerful. We all know that swami was scared of his father.
9th house also stands for Guru. 9th house aspected by Jupiter has helped swami ji in
spirituality, though 9th lord in 6th house is not a favorable position. Jupiter is also not in a
45
Meena (Vijaya)
favourable position from spiritual perspective. Saturn being in the 6 th also shows that there
wont be many people around swami as followers. We all know that he has just few people
around him and does not have major followers.
Jupiter is the 10th lord which is in 3rd house, This shows that swami ji is not independent at
work. We all know that all decisions are taken by AMMA and all follow it in ashram. Thus
swami chart shows that there are no independent actions and AMMA is above him. Jupiter is
aspected by 9th and 8th lord Saturn. As Saturn shows people, swami has to mange people.
As 9th lord aspects the 10th lord, swami actions are for ashram and for dharma. 8 th lord
association creates problems some time in work.
problems due to people around AMMA as 9

Also it shows that swami has to face
lord is also the 8th lord for swami.
Time of Deeksha
Swami met AMMA in 1979. It was Saturn moon dasha running at that time. Saturn is the
8th and 9th lord dasha, which brought swami near to Guru and away from father. Swami left
father and joined ashram.
In oct 1989 swami got sanyaasa. This was during Mercury venus dasha. So the lagna lord
and venus the 5th and 12th lord helped him get sanyaasa. Venus in 11th has fulfilled desires
of swami ji and thus during this sub dasha he became a renunciate. There is parivarthana
yoga between mercury and mars. And aries whose lord is mars is the house where the
pravrijya yoga happened. So due to parivarthana yoga, mercury has given the benefits of
mars. Thus the mercury main period was also favourable. Mercury is the lagna lord and
individual progress is also indicated during this period.
Gochara & current time
Currently as per gochara, Jupiter is in lagna and Saturn is exalted in the 5 th house. In
Ashtakavarga we see that in thula there are three zeros for ascendant, mars and mercury.
Saturn is traversing the house thula , hence lot of problems swami ji is facing now. Also as
5th stands for name, so lot of bad name, at the same time he is becoming famous all over
the world. The zeros in ashtakavarga always denote a critical event happening in life.

46
Meena (Vijaya)
Once Saturn moves out from Thula on nov 2nd 2014, all the issues will end for swami ji and
things will be better. Saturn is the 8th lord too which is in 5th house now. So it will cause
mental worries.
Once Jupiter moves to cancer on 19th june this year, then swami ji will talk to public about
these allegations and gives words of wisdom, as Jupiter is exalted in the 2 nd house. So his
reaction to the incidents will be through words as 10 th lord Jupiter moves to the 2 nd house of
speech.
Currently the dasa Running for swami ji is Venus dasha (2009-2029). Venus is the 5th and
the 12th lord. 5th lord brings name and fame for the person if good planets are associated.
Venus is in the 11th and hence lot of benefits from AMMA during this period. All desires will
be fulfilled and lot of yoga swami will enjoy during this dasha. Its a good period. Its also
the 12th lord period, so will help in spiritual growth or reaching the goal. The sub dasha is
venus- moon. Moon is the 2nd lord in lagna, so the period is not bad.

47
Meena (Vijaya)
So we see that in gochara as Saturn is in the 5th house where there are zeros in
ashtakavarga, all issues are happening. Everything will slowly diminish after November this
year. By end of next year may, everything will be resolved.

Analysis of Gochara (as of now)

As we know currently Saturn is exalted in thula. It shall remain so until nov2nd 2014. This
is when it will transit into scorpio house. Mars is in retrograde motion and was in thula from
feb 4th to march 25th and again will be in Thula from Jul 14, 2014 to Sep 05, 2014. Currently
Rahu also is in thula until Jul 14, 2014. Thus we see three malefic planets causing problems
in thula i.e Saturn, mars and rahu. These three joined together and cause havoc, especially
to thula lagna or rasi and Mesha lagna and rasi people. Even mithuna lagna and people
having ezha sani i.e 7.5 yrs sani going on will suffer due to this.
Recently we have seen lot of problems all over the world and in individuals life too. Many
aeroplane crashes and many serious accidents and mishaps happened all across the world.
The weather has been bad this year in US and also we have seen that these planetary
influences have brought lot of ill name for AMMA and the ashram.
Until Saturn transit into scorpio the situation will be more or less the same. Thula lagna
people will be facing lot of troubles and have to put up against the ill name spread against
them. They health also will be troubled as all planets are in lagna. Saturn is teh 5 th lord
hence children of the native will be in trouble and mars being the 7 th lord will create trouble
in relations. The relationships will be strained.
For thula rasi or lagna people, this combination is happening in the 6 th house, so the health
will not be good. The 7 th lord is also mars, hence there will be problems in relationships.
Saturn being the 10th lord, causes issues at work place as well and for father too. Though
Saturn is yogakaraka, due to combination with mars, will give them health issues and
troubles at work place. They will face enemity form people at work place.
For aries lagna and rasi, this combination is happening in the 7 th house. This will lead to
divorce for many of aries lagna and rasi. Their relationships will be in trouble waters. Bad
name can be the result. Natives should be careful about Accidents happening. As the 10th
lord is Saturn, so trouble at workplace is also seen. Mars being the lagna and 8 th lord is with
Saturn so health issues also will be seen.

49
Meena (Vijaya)
If we compare current positions with AMMA's birth chart, we find that Saturn as yoga karaka
for both libra (lagna) and vrishabha (moon) is favorably sitting in Lagna but unfavorably
sitting in 6th from moon. Generally the effects are better observed when seen from moon
after a person crosses the age of 30. Thus we find that Saturn, Mars and Rahu are in the
sixth from moon. Therefore enemies can be seen as strong and attacking amma. Since
these planets combine in lagna, therefore the attack is on amma's nature or character.
The combination of all malefic planets of saturn, mars and rahu is very bad and therefore
there will be lot of accusations against amma. Since mars is the 7th lord from both lagna
and moon, therefore attack is on amma's name-fame (and travels as well). Saturn as the
4th-5th lord and 9th-10th lord also means attack is on amma's work, children and dharma.
Amidst all the attack, amma has been showing full compassion towards all - this also shows
that the children (those who are accusing or attacking amma) have been poisoned or their
perspective has been wrong. This is denoted by Rahu in the sixth.
Accusations against amma will continue until Mars changes from libra (which would be after
around
40
days).
Until
then
we
can
see
the
trend
of
accusations
continuing
constantly. From July 14th sept 1st also the situation will be grim as mars will be back to
thula. So Until AMMAs birthday , the talks will be all around and situation will be grim.
Now onto amma's dasha, amma is running saturn-venus dasha (started from june 2013 and
will go till 2016). Saturn is yoga karaka but badly placed in sixth now from moon. Venus for
amma is the sixth lord from moon and eighth lord from lagna, therefore it isn't favorable as
well. The only advantage is that venus is in 11th in birth chart but it is also with mars
(therefore cannot be considered as very favorable).
Now whether amma is affected or will accusations have any effect on amma or math, the
answer is no - because jupiter is in the 9th and will move to tenth. It is favorable and
therefore nothing can happen (against amma). Jupiter in 10th in exaltation will mean that
all accusations will just lose their strength.
Once mars moves out of libra, the effects will slowly reduce. And once jupiter moves in
may-june to Cancer and saturn moves in november to Scorpio, the period for amma will be
50
Meena (Vijaya)
favorable and lot of name-fame-money etc. will be accumulated (for the welfare of the
entire world) (as saturn yoga karaka will be in the 7th from moon).
Lastly jupiter is currently in 2nd from moon and hence we find words of wisdom from amma
- else we can say that the response wouldn't be from amma's mouth (but it would be direct
attack to those who are going against amma, by prakriti or nature or Ishwara himself).
Thus we see that the three malefic, Saturn, mars and rahu joining thula has disturbed our
lives at a global level as well as at an individual level and also the life of the ashram.
