Birth Time Rectification & Verification Techniques There are various birth time rectification and verification techniques

available in Vedic astrology texts. In this post, I want to talk about a simple technique suggested by Kalidas in Ut tar Kalamrit. In fact, there are three techniques suggested in Uttar Kalamrit as follows 1. Nakshatra Shuddhi, for finding out the Nakshatra (constellation) 2. Man - Woman Janma Shuddhi, for finding out the sex 3. Lagna Shuddhi, for finding out the Lagna (ascendant) I am planning to have one post for each technique. Here is the first technique 1. Nakshatra Shuddhi Multiply the Ghatikas and Vighatikas of the Ishta Kala by 4 and divide the produ ct by 9. The reminder should be counted beginning with Ashwini, Magha or Moola in whatsoe ver Paryaya it falls. The 27 Nakshatras are distributed in 3 Paryayas consisting of 1st to 9th, 10th t o 18th and 19th to 27th. This will give the Janma Nakshatra. Example: Suppose the native was born on 6.3.1980 at Ishta Ghatika 56.12,. Therefore, 54.12 X 4 /9 = 224.48 / 9 = 24 X 9 + 8.48. As the reminder is 8.48, Nakshatra may be Ashlesha (9th Nakshatra), Jyeshtha (18 th Nakshatra) or Revati (27th Nakshatra). You might be wondering what is the Ishtakal and how to calculate it. Istakaal is the difference between sunrise and time of birth. Please note that the time of birth should be convert ed to local mean time before finding out the difference. If you use IST/ standard time, the result will be incorrect. Thoough you need not to worry about LMT conversion and Ishtakal calulation etc. There are various software that can do it for you. The simplest is to use AstroSage.com. Once you will cast your chart using AstroS age.com, you will find Ishtakaal on Birth Details page. AstroSage.com will also give you the name of the Nakshatra for the supplied date and time. The Nakshatra table can be found here.

2.Man -Woman Janma Shuddhi Convert the Ishta Ghatika into Palas (by multiplying Ghatikas with 60). Divide t he same by 225. If the reminder is: 0 to 15 - male 16 to 45 - female 46 to 90 - male 91 to 150 - female 151 to 225 - male These five groups represent , in their order male, female, male, female and male respectively. Example: Ishta Ghatikas are 56.12. If we convert it into palas it will be 56 X 60 + 12 = 3372. 3372 / 225 = 14 X 225 + 222. In other words if we divide the ishtakal in palas b y 225, the reminder will be 222 which falls into 5th zone. Therefore the birth should be of a male.

In case the horoscope that we are using for verification is of a female, we can conclude that the time is not correct and needs some verification. As this technique is based on Ishtakal, we can also use the distance between sun and ascendant for calculating the zone. If you don't know, Sun and Ascendant conjoins around Sunrise and Sun keeps movin g away from ascendant. During sunset, Sun is around 180 degrees from Ascendant or roughly in 7th house. We can conver t this formula in degree format for easy application. I'll try to write about converted formula sometime later. This is the third part of a series which talks about Kalidas method of birth tim e rectification and verification techniques discussed in Uttar Kalamrit. The third technique is for verifying Lagna (ascendant). 3.Lagna Shuddhi Find out the Rasi occupied by the Moon and Mandi; and their Navamsas. The native will have this birth either in the Rasi occupied by Maandi or the Moon whichever be the stronger; or in the Lagna Rasi which will b e the 7th, 5th or the 9th from either of them. If instead of these two Rasis, the Navamsa Rasi owned by Mandi or the Moon be st ronger, then the Janma Lagna will be in the stronger Navamsa Rasi or the 7th, 5th or the 9th from it. In other words this method suggests that the lagna of person must always be 1, 5 , 7, 9 from either Moon or Mandi. This should be checked both from Lagna chart as well as Navamsa chart. This is a method which suggests that there is a connection between moon position and ascendant position at the time of birth. In KP system there is a popular birth time rectification method which says that the Ascendant sub lord should be the same or connected with star lord of the Moon. I beleive that this KP rectification method also has root in the Kalidas method. Though KP method ignores Mandi and just relies on Ascendant-Moon connection. This is my third and the last post on birth time rectification methods in Uttar Kalamrit. Though Uttar Kalamrit is not the only texts that talks about birth time rectificaiton. I have another post which talks about other methods a vailable in Vedic astrology. ******************************************************************************** ******************************* Dear friends, I am introducing a Birth time rectification new method But actually it is not mine This method is invented by a great astrologer He is Mr. SIVALA SUBRAHMANYAM But he was snatched away by fate on nov 2003 His Method is 07sb lord - 07st lord + 07 cusp = marriage moon posited on the same Rasi or oppo site Rasi For Example:
