There are wonderful commentaries lying in the houses of paramparas and manuscript libraries. Most of the literature available on Jaimini is based on the Neelakantha commentary, yet there are more works like Phalaratnamala, Kalpalatha, Jataka Sara Sangraha etc. In this blog I would like to introduce the rare concepts of Jaimini System, without contradicting the classical works.Shanmukhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00314084747143204514noreply@blogger.comBlogger31125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323196828962288642.post-44082692981630055932015-07-30T21:31:00.002-07:002015-07-30T21:33:07.764-07:00Guru Purnima<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Dear All,<br />
<br />
After a long time, my two articles were published on Saptarishis Astrology online magazine website.<br />
<br />
The links are given below.<br />
<br />
First one is an article on Yogada concept. In fact, it is not really an article, but a letter explaining the concept to the editor of the magazine. But, he insisted on publishing it as it is. I promised him I would add some more notes later.<br />

Recently, there was a blog published by Sri Sanjay Rath on his site on Complexity of Jaimini Sutras and it was referring to my blog <a href="http://sutramritam.blogspot.in/2010/01/jaimini-on-blindness.html">Jaimini on Blindness</a>. Hence, I posted a detailed reply to the site, which is given here below.<br />
<br />
<b>Update:</b> Some paragraphs from this write-up below were chopped off in reply to Sanjay Rath, as I felt them irrelevant to his article. Shall I delete them from this blog also? Hmmm. Let me think.<br />

<br />
Dear Sri Sanjay Ji,<br />
<br />
<br />
Sri Gurubhyo Namah<br />
<br />
Thank you very much for writing a blog referring to my article published on my blog more than 5 years ago. Now a day, I am not very active on weblogs except occasional visits to favorite websites. Anyway, as you were referring to my article and explaining your interpretation of Jaimini Sutras, I felt it was my responsibility to respond. Here goes my response to some of the points raised. Hope it would be taken by all in positive and educative spirit.<br />
<br />
There was a general statement by you in the article, though it was not directly addressed to me, I felt it would be proper to respond to the statement.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">You wrote</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">“Another problem that is consistently seen is the young mind taking anything written by a commentator as the final and only truth in the sutra. </span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">You also wrote:</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">Nothing is final, nobody understands everything. Every scholar of the past, present and the future is yet another seeker of the upadesha sutra, struggling to see the big picture.”</span><br />
<br />
Let us call the above statement of yours as <span style="color: #660000;"><strong>Stmt1</strong></span> for easy reference.<br />
<br />
That is exactly the point I have been trying to expose through my blogs on my bog site http://sutramritam.blogspot.com . One would definitely appreciate the fact that my efforts were only to bring out the other side of the story of Jaimini Sutras and I did never mean the interpretations written by me or taken from ancient commentaries were final.<br />
<br />
I met a very responsible member of SJC in Delhi and mentioned about Sri Iranganti Rangacharya. Then, I was advised by that person to read Books by Sri Sanjay Rath only to understand Jaimini Sutras. Though, I am very sure that advice was friendly and from a person who cared for me, but I felt it was not proper to ignore the great doyen of Jaimini astrology. At that time, my thoughts were similar to Stmt1 cited above.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">You Wrote:</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">There are two errors in this argument</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">Error #1: Removing the matra from the word शुक्र (śukra), we have the consonants श (śa) and क (ka)</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">The Katapayadi Varga for this is श (śa) = 5 and क (ka) = 1; reverse this we get 15; Now expunge multiples of 12 and the remainder is 3</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">Therefore the numerical value of शुक्र (śukra) = 3 or third house. The first error is an incorrect calculation which shows Shukra as meaning Lagna whereas the calculation actually shows third house.</span><br />
<br />
I beg to pardon me. Unfortunately or fortunately, there is no error in my interpretation in decoding sukra as Lagna. You advise to remove a non-existent matra from word शुक्र (śukra). Kra is a conjunct of to consonants Ka and Ra. Removing Ra in conjunct kra amounts removing consonant not the matra. According to katapaya numeric system, in a conjunct consonant, the last of the consonants alone will count. Thus decoding sukra shall be as follows.<br />
<br />
Su = Sa = 5<br />
<br />
Kra = Ra = 2<br />
<br />
Thus word sukra yields numeric value of 25 which means 1 after necessary decoding.<br />
<br />
Your deciphering sukra as 3rd is definitely wrong. You may check the same in case of word bhagya in argala sutra, which yields number 2. Please refer to your own book JMUS page 93, where you interpreted sukra as number one (1). I sincerely hope you stumbled in hurry. <br />
<br />
This echoes the <span style="color: #660000;"><strong>Stmt1</strong></span>.<br />
<br />
However, in my article, I interpreted sukraat as either from Venus or Lagna and I have given ample explanation on why sukraat in the sutra suitably mean from planet Venus.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">You Wrote:</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">“Error #2: Maharsi Jaimini has explicitly stated previously that the Katapayadi Varga shall only be applicable for Bhava and not for Graha. This means if the Graha names are mentioned at all, in any place, they have to be interpreted only as the planet.”</span><br />
<br />
Definitely Jaimini wanted us to use katapayadi to understand Bhavas and Rasis but not Planets. There are other interpretations as well, which I am not going to mention here..<br />
<br />
<br />
Scholars ignorant of vast knowledge of Jaimini hidden in manuscript libraries, tend to hold on magnum opus like BPHS to reason out everything of JMUS from that only. One would understand why Paryaya Dasas do start from stronger of Lagna and seventh once they understand the words like sukra and sasi. Else, they would fall to prey like Sri XXXXXX, who writes Sukra and Sasi as Venus and Moon. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">You Wrote:</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">Interpretation #1: śukra+āt gauṇa pada+astho rāhuḥ sūrya dṛṣṭo netra+hā</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">āt is an emphasis like ‘further'; the argument that shukra has to indicate Lagna as reference point holds no water as there are umpteen sutra without direct reference to lagna and only referring to the bhava in question</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">Translation: “Further, Shukra associating the Gauna-Pada with Rahu and Surya aspects causes damage to the eye [sight]”</span><br />
<br />
Again I beg to differ. Your interpretation is wrong. I am not an expert in Sanskrit language, but my humble learning of Sanskrit reminds me that Sukraat is Panchami Vibhakti, which means From Sukra. Thus, your interpretation of Sukra association with xyz is wrong. Interpreting Jaimini Sutras without knowledge of Sanskrit language and its grammar leads to such errors. This is where our guru Sri Iranganti Rangacharya, an expert in both Jyotisha and Sanskrit did excellent service to this fraternity by commenting Jaimini Sutras. Sri Rangacharya after 3 decades of his study of Jaimini wrote his first book on Jaimini with impeccable meaning according to Sanskrit grammar.<br />
<br />
As you call it Jaimini Sutras are complex, I tend to call them as cryptic as stated on my blog banner. Only the words differ but meaning the same. Mathematical problems seem very complex to novice. Once the correct formula to solve the sum is applied, the problem would be solved easily, so are Jaimini Sutras. Understanding Jaimini sutras requires hard work as you endorse it but understanding of Sanskrit language is also an important toolset. <br />
<br />
Many Vriddha Karikas use words Sukra and Sasi to denote bhavas. As I already mentioned earlier, “Sarvatra Savarna Bhava Rasayascha” sutra has much more to it than on its face.<br />
<br />
Bringing in Graha Drishti in understanding Jaimini Sutras, is the starting point where I departed from the well followed internet based learning. Rasi Drishti and Graha Drishti are different drishtis of planets only. Use Rasi based Drishti of planets in Jaimini and longitude based drishti of planets in Parasara system. It is as simple as that. As you know, longitudes do not hold much water in Jaimini barring calculation of certain special lagnas. One does appreciate this fact if they agree upon Parasara and Jaimini are two different system of Vedic Astrology, else it would of course, seems rubbish. Ekam Sat Viprah Bahutha Vadanti.<br />
<br />
You wrote about Aacchadana Drishti. I learnt planets Jupiter, Saturn, Ketu and Full Moon do have Aachadana not all planets. The houses you mentioned for different planets are strange to me. Alas, I missed that part. Thank you for enlightening me.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #660000;">You Wrote:</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">ReCap-B</span><br />
<span style="color: #660000;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #660000;">The dictum that affliction to the fifth house from Venus leads to Netra Roga from BPHS is based on a totally different yoga called Acchadana Drsti of Graha. There is just no need to extend this to the ninth house nor to trines from Lagna.</span><br />
<br />
I clearly mentioned in my article that the verse from BPHS Telugu version exactly endorse my view. It is not based on Aachadana Drishti. I don’t remember Aachadana Drishti mentioned in the BPHS version I cited. The BPHS verse exactly mentioned trikone, which is plural meaning both 5th and 9th house.<br />
<br />
I am not going to the examples and the case studies given by you. My view point on them had been already given on my blog. I guess you took the same charts I give in my article. Didn’t you? I concluded my article saying Sukra i.e, Venus is more appropriate than Lagna, which is in line with your view.<br />
<br />
At last let me reiterate my stand on my approach for whatever worth it be. I do respect BPHS as much as I respect JMUS. I never try to mix these two systems and also admit them as two branches of the same tree, the Vedic Astrology. There are very important reasons to come to the above conclusion. The reasons are well documented below.<br />
<br />
1. My Guru advised me not to mix Parasara and Jaimini.<br />
<br />
2. Sri Vemuri Ramamurthi Sastri is believed to never using Parasara System. Sri VRS is the only astrologer in recent past, who used exclusively Jaimini in interpretation.<br />
<br />
3. I never saw any ancient commentator doing the mixing job. <br />
<br />
4. Whenever the ancient scholars find it necessary to bring in the Parasara Principles they specifically mentioned the reason why they did so.<br />
<br />
5. There are certain hints given by scholars of yore when to use a particular sutra. That itself is enough food for me for this lifetime to understand Jaimini. That way I am fortunate enough not to get misguided.<br />
<br />
6. I never meant ancient commentaries are final neither the paramparas. Yet, manuscripts of ancient commentaries are better documentary evidences of how to interpret Jaimini than the undocumented paramparas.<br />

<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Dear Friends,<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">I have an important announcement to make. Before that let me tell you another important information.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Mahamahopadhyaya Sri Iranganti Rangacharya, the living legend of Jaimini Astrology released another important book on Jaimini System. The book is a commentary on Jyotisha Phalaratnamala of Krishna Mishra. This work was first rescued by painstaking efforts of the editors of the Madras Oriental Library and was brought out in print by them 1960's. They consulted more than five manuscripts in preparing the final version. Of course, this translation is now in Telugu only, but Sri Rangacharya has already completed the translation and commentary on this important work in English. Unfortunately, that is not still published due to unavoidable (avoidable, perhaps) circumstances. Nevertheless, it is published for the benefit of Jaimini students, who can understand Telugu language. It is the first time, this Jyotisha Phalaratnmala of Krishna Mishra is in print form with perfect translation. I know, there was a Telugu translation, probably in manuscript form, but it might not be as authoritative as this Sri Rangacharya's translation. Remember, Sri Rangacharya is having a rich research oriented experience in Jaimini since the last 5 decades.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">Now, the important announcement I am to make.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">I have been a disciple of Sri Rangacharya, but I couldn't keep up the promise I made to him. I failed a couple of times in the past, though. But, this promise always lingers in my mind. Now, I am sure that I am unfit for being a disciple of Sri Rangacharya. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">The name of this blog was also inspired by Sri Rangacharya's book Jaimini Sutramritam. As I have not been a faithful disciple of Sri Rangacharya, I am morally not justified to run a blog like this quoting him as my Guru. Hence, I decided to stop this blog indefinitely. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 13.5pt;">If I could clear myself from this guilty feeling or obtained his blessings to continue, I would continue to write blogs. I thank one and all for encouraging me by writing their views. I must specifically thank the Editor, Saptarishis Astrology Free Online Global Magazine for backing me all the time.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />

Yet, we never find a clear cut explanation of this concept. Of course, never did I. Am I going to clear the confusion regarding Argala in this blog? No, then what is the purpose of this post? <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

While I was going to archives of some of the yahoo groups, I found that even the experienced teachers like Sri PVR Narasimha Rao writing a natural malefic in 2nd house gives a malefic Argala. Yet, there are some silly argument that a planet in Virodha Argala sign do harm even if no planet in Argala sign. Some scholars write, planets in 2<sup>nd</sup>, 4<sup>th</sup>, 11<sup>th</sup> houses from any house give Argala for that house.These are very much contrast to the basic concept of Argala. Then, I decided to introduce the Argala concept in a step by step basis, with reference to the commentaries.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

The letter “U” refers to Lord Shiva. Hence Sage invocating Lord Shiva’s feet started his description of the science. According to Yadava Kosa, the letter “U” refers to Lord Vishnu. So, it can be understood that the Sage invocated Lord Vishnu also. Now, Updesam is a imparting the knowledge in a very mythological and secretive way. Thus, became this Jaimini System is a very secret branch of divination and has been kept for centuries.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-size: 12pt;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;">The very next sutra deals with aspects. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'URW Palladio ITU';"><o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><br />

Here it is to be understood that Sage Jaimini gave importance to the frontal aspect. So, it is very important to first look at the frontal sign aspect, and then go from lateral aspect.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

He first explained how Drishti to be reckoned from signs in contrast to the Graha Drishti. It is just like telling this another type of aspect. Then, he instructs us which does have aspect. That is, explaining planet in these signs have aspect. As a sign always have aspect on the opposite and beside signs, which is permanent doesn’t add the dynamism that translates the horoscope unless there is a planet. The planet in aparticular sign having aspect in Rasi Drishti will add the dynamic influence.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

What do the ****** doing there. This is where the confusion comes in. Most scholars interpret the above word as sign. Is it correct interpretation?

</span><br />
<span lang="HI" style="color: black; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">What’s that? It’s literal meaning is the one which has sight. So, the 4th, 2nd and 11th houses from the aspecting one provide the Argala. Which is the Aspecting one? Is it the sign, or all signs, or Lagna, or all the bhavas?<o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

Even without the word, the meaning suffices to say that 4<sup>th</sup>, 2<sup>nd</sup>, and 11<sup>th</sup> are the Argala places. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

So, here aspecting ones in the above Argala sutra are only the planets and NOT the signs.

So, the believed notion of a natural malefic in 2<sup>nd</sup> house is bad is not acceptable in Jaimini System.

So, we have an authentic information about Primary Argala. What about the other two? To be frank, we can’t find much description or usage of this Vishesha Argala involving only malefic planets in the available ancient commentaries, but for its mention in the Jaiminmi Sutras. The Trikona Argala was mentioned in Jyotisha Phalaratnamala 5<sup>th</sup> chapter as “<b>Kone Paadamiti Brivanti</b>”. Sri Krishna Mishra mentions a variety of Argala in quantifying the strength of Argala and allots one quarter strength to the <b><i><u>benefic</u></i></b> planets in Trikona places. Remember he mentions only benefic planets in the trines and any planet in other Primary Argala places. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in; mso-layout-grid-align: none; text-align: justify; text-autospace: none;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br />

<br />
<br />
I am copy, pasting a mail given to a person concerned at M/S Sagittarius Publications regarding the book “A Course On Jaimini Maharshi’s Upadesa Sutra”. Of course, I am awaiting a detailed reply which was promised from that person. It’s been a year since I wrote the mail, still I couldn’t receive it. Hence, I am reproducing the mail here, which I believe, contain some useful academic information.<br />

<br />
I recently purchased “A Course On Jaimini Maharshi’s Upadesa Sutra” written by Sri Sanjay Rath. I think it is a very well written and neatly edited work by Sri Sanjay. I am sharing my spontaneous response after having a reading of some of the chapters of the work in the following lines. As usual I am writing these lines of academic interest and request you to consider the same.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
As pointed out by Sri Sanjay and also reiterated by my Guru, BPHS is very important in understanding Jaimini System. Rather I put it that BPHS is very important in understanding any system of Astrology. Yet, smitten by the beauty of this wonderful Jaimini System, I sometimes tend to ignore the BPHS, which my guru warns me often. We shall not ignore the other resources from other Sanskrit works. Sage Jaimini Upadesa Sutras are not contradicting to BPHS but complementary. As he writes “Horaadayah SiddhaH”, and “Siddhah Ududaye”, which essentially mean that he is writing a system which is complementary to others but not conflicting”. I hope you know a work named “Jaimini Bharata” allegedly written by Sage Jaimini consists of eighteen chapters among which only Aswamedha Parva is available, in which there are many different views expressed by the author from the “Veda Vyasa Maha Bharat”. So, we can’t debate on this though, but can enjoy the beauty of Jaimini Bharata and its unparallel beauty of extolling Sri Krishna. So, considering Sage Jaimini wrote a complementary work on Astrology is not blasphemous, I believe.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I was going through Lesson 14 on Page 271 of the Jaimini Course book. I was really struck with the Commentary by Sanjay on page 272 about the sutra 1.1.26.<br />
<br />
<strong>परावृत्त्योत्तरेषु १.१.२६</strong><br />
<strong><br />
</strong><br />
<strong>parāvṛttyottareṣu 1.1.26</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I totally disgree with the commentary by Sri Sanjay as it is against to the Sanskrit grammer. <br />
<br />
<strong>पर + आवृत्ति + उत्तरेषु = परावृत्त्योत्तरेषु</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
पर = different, another<br />
<br />
आवृत्ति = return, repetetion<br />
<br />
उत्तरेषु = the remaining <br />
<br />
<br />
The sutra says that a different reckoning from the above shall be followed for the remaining signs.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Where as Sri Sanjay brings in a different view which is not in context. Sage didn’t talk about north because it is clear from Sanskrit that “Shu” suffixes when there is plural. So it is apparent that Sage indicates the remaining six signs, where the different reckoning is to be followed. If Sage would have wanted to mean a starting sign in Uttara (forth house), what about “Vishameshu” in the previous sutra? When Sage clearly indicated about Vishama signs (which are no way connected with the direction of house) in the previous sutra, it is redundant to speak about the Sama signs, since in the “Uttareshu”, it is implied the remaining signs which are nothing but the even signs. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The starting sign phenomena:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sage was clear about which signs is to be used as a starting sign and indicated as and when required. At first he mentioned the Lagna is ordinarily the starting unless stated otherwise vide the sutra “Mando Jyayan Griheshu ”. Some alterative texts refer it to be “Mando Jyayan Graheshu ” indicating Saturn is strongest which is contrast to the natural strength of planets., (elder brother according to some others). Kindly refer to Darpana Dasa, Atmakaraka Dasa, Chara Paryaya, Sthira Paryaya, Trikona, Drig, Mandooka where the starting sign not necessarily Lagna but can be any other sign according to applicability various source of strengths. Sage clearly indicated respective starting signs, wherever necessary. If not explicitely instructed “Mando Jyayan Griheshu” prevails.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So, the above 1.1.25 and 1.1.26 sutras are not belong to starting sign but the way of reckoning only.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Sri Sanjay indicated a Bengal school of thought, where starting sign differs from Lagna according to that school. This thought has been used by scholars from Andhra Pradesh like Raghava Bhatta and Nrisimha Suri. One may wonder where from these Bengal school and Andhra School used this peculiar starting sign phenomena for male and female nativities. No wonders, it is only from the available Jaimini Sutras. In fact it is one source of strength which was effectively used by Krishna Mishra and Somanatha Mishra. I hope you could find out this sutra. Let me keep it for myself , Hhhhhhh.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In page no 273, there is a mention of Chakras. The forth was given as Akrita Chakra. I am really surprised by this new chakra. I can strongly say that this chakra is not mentioned in any of the available works. Why does Sanjay do this way? Could he bring out any source about this chakra? As it was admitted by him in Narayana dasa book that Ketu and Saturn exceptions were his understanding of the Jaimini sutras (Sanou Chetyeke, ViparItam Ketou), then where comes this new Akrita chakra? Of course as a commentator of Jaimini, he is, indeed, entitled to create that, but I request any Sanskrit commetary authority on this.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I liked his beautiful explanation of Savayava Hora Lagna and its usage, though I don’t agree with him.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Conclusion:<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Understanding Sage Jaimini requires a lot. Not only sincerity, guidance from Parampara but also understanding of the Sanskrit language is essential. And also, we shall study the traditions on this system prevailing before our generation. Then only we can reach the level of enjoying the divine honey of the sutra. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Let me narrate an issue which shows the importance of studying Sansrit and Sanskrit commentaries. I heard a famous personality in Astrological circle in Delhi rebuked the people trying to understand Jaimini which the help of Sankrit knowledge as “Sutra Choppers”. That senor astrologer who claims to have done research in Jaimini System more than anybody in the last three thousand (IS it ten thousand, who knows?) fails to understand this sytem. He can not explain why he assigns 10 years to a sign whose lord is in its 7th in a particular dasa system but could churns out a book on this dasa. He seeks the hideout of Vemuri Sastri for such calculation. If he understands the sutra “Sutaste Janma”, he understands why Sri Vemuri did that way.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
So, the bottom line is understanding Jaimini Sutras with proper understanding of Sankrit is very essential in addition to other necessary things.<br />
<br />

With this I end this mail and hope you enjoyed reading above lines.<br />

<br />
I am back after a long time. In fact, it is exactly after 8 months. I am very thankful to you who sent their views on my blog. <br />
<br />
It has been a very busy and important year for me. A lot of things happened this year. I was blessed with baby girl as my second child, constructed my new home, got promoted in the office, had my first official foreign tour ( In government sector, foreigh tour is a lifetime oppurtunity for many, I hope Govt. Employees knew it well) and of course got hold of some rare manuscripts on Jaimini System.<br />
<br />
<br />
I am giving below one page from Jataka Rajiya of Singaraya. This work is based on Jaimini System and of course contains a mixure of principles from Parasara and Jaimini schools. This manuscript was obtained from a manuscript library and see the fate of this handwritten paper manuscript. IMHO, this is only manuscript in the famous library (I did spend a whole day to find this out) and probably you can understand from the picture attached here that this manuscript is gone beyond repair. The Crux here is to preserve the ancient texts for the benefit of future generations as our fore-fathers had done.<br />
<br />
I request you to let me know, if any has this work either in manuscript or book form.<br />
<br />

Before I start my new innings, I am copy pasting an edited mail written to Jyotish Digest Magazine regarding some contradicting points. I am attaching this for only academic purposes and I am not much aware of copy right issues, since this letter has been already published in the Jyotish Digest magazine. If it is violating the rules, kindly inform me so that I will remove this post. Else, just take note of the points raised and forgive for any redundant points.<br />

***************** Ther Mail Starts Here ********************<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This is reference to Mani Pravala Rajayoga article by Sri Sanjay Rath. I know this mail should be addressed to Sri Sanjay instead. I am writing the following lines in academic interest. I request you to consider it the same.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It is nice that Sri Sanjay brought out two articles based Chandra Kala Nadi Verses namely Mani Pravala Yoga and Nadi Navamsa. As I mentioned elsewhere on my blog these two concepts are basically Jaimini System Concepts in one way or the other. Today I read his article on Mani Pravala Yoga in JD Jul-Sep 2009 issue where he brought out a sloka from Deva Keralam Part II. I strongly feel that verse is incomplete and I will show it in the below paragraphs. I wish to reconcile this verse with the sutras from Jaimini Sutras.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
This Mani Pravala Rajayoga was mentioned by Sage Jaimini vide the following sutras. Of course, Sage didn’t verbally call it Mani Pravala Rajayoga.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
स्व भाग्य दार मातृ भाव समेषु शुभेषु राजानः १-३-३०sva bhāgya dāra mātṛ bhāva sameṣu śubheṣu rājānaḥ 1-3-30 <br />
<br />
कर्म दासयोः पापयोश्च १-३-३१karma dāsayoḥ pāpayośca 1-3-31 <br />
<br />
As you know भाग्य = 2, दार = 4, मातृ = 5, भाव = 8, सम = 9, Sage Jaimini wants us to check the places mentioned above for the occupancy of benefic planets. In the sutra 1-3-30 stated above, he wants us to check the malefic planets in कर्म = 3rd and दास = 6th houses. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In this system, Benefic Planets à natural benefics, any exalted planet including natural malefic<br />
<br />
Malefic Plamets à natural malefics, any debilitated planet including natural benefic<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
The term Mani Pravala indicates the mixture of benefic and malefic planets, where Mani is Gem and Pravala is the less useful coral shell. In Sanskrit, Manipravala Nyaya means the alternate combination of two languages, where Sanskrit is considered as Mani and other language is considered as Pravala. So, this yoga is essentially a combination of benefic and malefic planets in a particular order which was given by Sage Jaimini vide the above sutras. And he wants us to reckon the yoga from Sva Karaka. Then does come the question of who is Svakaraka. Sage Jaimini answers that as well with the ensuing sutra. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
पितृ लाभाधिपाश्चैवम् १-३-३२<br />
pitṛ lābhādhipāścaivam 1-3-32 <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
You can argue that sva means AK only, but it is evident from Phalaratnamala that lord of Lagna is also Svakaraka and there are many Vriddha Karika verses, a version of BPHS dealing with 7th lord as Karaka, which is a different topic. So, this yoga shall be seen from either of AK, Lagna (पितृ) Lord or the 7th (लाभ) Lord. I know that Sri Sanjay interprets the above referred sutras pertaining to AL in his JMUS and I am not going debate on that.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, coming to the sloka quoted by Sri Sanjay in his article, kindly refer to the Rule 2. It was mentioned “A benefic planet (natural) should be exalted in the 3rd house while a natural malefic planet is simultaneously debilitated elsewhere”. I don’t understand this rule as it was not mentioned in the sloka quoted. That sloka simply mentions “Exalted planet or a natural benefic in 2nd, natural benefic in 5th, a malefic in 8th and a benefic in 9th makes a person Srimanta and daridra otherwise. The mentioned sloka didn’t mention about the 3rd house. Of course, we can deduce the corollaries which Sri Sanjay has done. Going by the available adhikara sutras of Sage Jaimini and the available commentaries, it is clear that benefic planets in 2nd, 4th, 5th, 8th and 9th and malefic planets in 3rd and 6th is essential for this yoga. It is important that even if not all the above mentioned gets the respective occupancy, the more the better. So, I humbly submit that a benefic planet exalted in 3rd house is not in compliance with the classical view of Jaimini system. Any debilitated planet or a natural malefic in the 3rd, 6th is welcome in this system.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Now, I am giving below the respective Vriddha Karika sloka referred to in Jataka Sara Sangraha of Raghava Bhatta, which is comprehensive and clearly shows the sloka of Deva Keralam is incomplete. <br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
इदम् योगद्वयं ग्रहचक्रवशाच दृष्टव्यं<br />
idam yogadvayaṁ grahacakravaśāca dṛṣṭavyaṁ<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
If you look at the Vriddha Karika sloka above, I need not explain the importance and comprehensiveness of the Mani Pravala Rajayoga. It mentions the 3rd, 6th and 7th houses which missed in Deva Keralam sloka. I particularly refer you to look at the last line of the above verse that speaks about the Graha Chakra. It clearly instructs us to reckon this Mani Pravala Rajayoga according to Graha Chakra, which I have dealt with in my article published in Saptarishis Astrology. Remember either DKN verse or the Jaimini Sutra or the Vriddha Karika did not mention about 10th, 11th, 12th houses. That’s why this yoga shall only be seen from Graha Chakra reckoning in which 9 planets become the 12 houses. This Graha Chakra is important in deciding the Dasa Karakas, transit analysis in Gochara Dasas etc.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It is very important that a malefic in 8th is very bad according to Jaimini system. A malefic in 8th spoils even the Poorna Argala. That is why Sage mentions a benefic in 8th (भाव) house vide the sutra 1-3-30 given above. Yet, the Vriddha Karika mentions a malefic in 8th for Mani Pravala Yoga. It is acceptable only when the respective sequence of benefic and malefic combination happens. If that sequence breaks, then a malefic in 8th is not good.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In a nutshell, a benefic in 2nd, 5th and 4th is very essential for this yoga to give its results in the lifetime of the native.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It is possible that Jaimini commentators might have adulterated / corrupted the verse from Deva Keralam and produced the above given Vriddha Karika, which seems to me a remote possibility.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It is also possible that the DKN verse and Jaimini commentators speaking of two different yogas, in the name of Mani Pravala Yoga, which again is not logical to me.<br />
<br />
I am not writing this to compare my article with Sri Sanjay’s. I know I am very small पिपीलिक compared his genius but wants to emphasize on other conditions on this yoga. The Vriddha Karika sloka mentions a particular benefic (Mani) and malefic (Pravala) sequence and thus this yoga is called Mani Pravala Yoga. As it was put by Sage Jaimini, we shall consider the unanimous opinion of the classics, which was echoed by most of the references I have given in my article regarding this special yoga.<br />
<br />
सम्वादात् प्रामाण्यम्<br />
samvādāt prāmāṇyam <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I am attaching two files containing my article on Mani Pravala Rajayoga and its appendix along with this mail. My article contains much more references on this special yoga of Jaimini. If you would like to read my article, please go through the attached file. If you want to read only the references, you can skip my article and have a look at Appendix.pdf the file and read the respective Sanskrit references from various ancient works on Jaimini. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I sincerely request you to consider this mail, as from a sincere student of Astrology. Now, I am writing below one more issue which I want to bring forth to your notice. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I had courtesy of a friend to have a look at the new Jaimini Sutra course book by Sri Sanjay. I had a glance view of the book and I was struck with the words like Oriya School, Bengali School, and Tamil Nadu School. I fear the following lines may look as “Randhraanveshana” as I haven’t completely gone through the book, kindly bear with me. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I was surprised to see such a phrase like “Tamil Nadu School” from the worthy pen of Sri Sanjay. He referred to Sri Iranganti Rangacharya in that paragraph. By all means my Guru neither belongs to Tamil Nadu nor his ancestors. He was born and brought up in West Godavari district of Andhra Pradesh and now resides in Hyderabad. <br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In fact, political leaders like Potti Sriramulu went on hunger - strike unto death for the formation of Andhra Pradesh state and NT Rama Rao formed his TDP party for being branded as “Madrasis” and he fought rest of his life for the self respect of Telugu people. It was more than half a century since the state of Andhra Pradesh had formed and still people remember us as “Madrasis” or from Tamil Nadu School. What a pity?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It is not necessary to prove that there exists a separate school of thought in the land of Telugu. I have a valid reason to claim that. I am giving below the great commentators hailed from the land of speaking Telugu.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Gottimukkala Raghava Bhatta – Jataka Sara Sangraha<br />
<br />
Akumalla Nrisimha Suri – Sutrartha Prakasika<br />
<br />
Laxmanacharya – Lakshmana Vyakya<br />
<br />
Laxmama Suri<br />
<br />
Kuppu Rama Daivagna<br />
<br />
Appayya Dikshita <br />
<br />
Iranganti Rangacharya – Jaimini Sutramritam<br />
<br />
Vadrevu Suryanarayana Murthi – Jataka Narayaneeyam<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Jaimini Scholars from Andhra Pradesh in the last century<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Vemuri Rama Murthi Sastri<br />
<br />
Sridhra Venkata Ramana Daivagna<br />
<br />
Iranganti Rangacharya<br />
<br />
Madhura Krishna Murthi<br />
<br />
The Parampara of Pidaparti<br />
<br />
Vadrevu Suryanarayana Murthi.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
And scholars like Sri B.V.Raman, Sri K.N.Rao whose ancestors hailed from Andhra Pradesh. There are many ancient commentators of Jaimini like Sundara Bhatta, Mahidhara, Sridhara and Nrisimha Daivagna whose origin is not known to me, but mostly referred by Jaimini scholars from Andhra Pradesh. I have the Sanskrit manuscripts of some of these works written in Telugu script. I saw manuscripts of Phalaratnamala and Kalpalatha (belongs to Orissa, I presume) written in either Telugu Script or Deva Nagari Script. I hope it is suffice to say there exists a separate school of Jaimini thought in Andhra Pradesh. If Sri Sanjay wants to give a name, it shall be named as Andhra Pradesh School of thought or Telugu School of thought.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
I saw very few works on Jaimini in Tamil script, in the manuscript libraries I visited. I don’t say there are no Jaimini Scholars in Tamil Nadu; my point is that branding my Guru Rangacharya as from Tamil Nadu school is highly unjustified. I suppose “Vanchanaadha” is the only ancient commentator from Tamil Nadu as the name is prevalent in Tamil Nadu. He was referred by Krishna Mishra and I guess Sri Sanjay knows that commentary. Perhaps Vanchanadhiyam is the work on Jaimini which mentions which Lagna (AL, HL, GL, and BL) to be used for a particular purpose.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Probably Sri Sanjay has a valid reason to name like “Tamil Nadu School”. If he feels a school like Tamil Nadu School ever exists, I don’t debate, but I strongly feel there is a separate Telugu School of Jaimini exists and I wish it would be taken into consideration in the next edition of the same book. This gesture doesn’t fetch anything to Jaimini Astrology but it reveres the ancient scholars who survived Jaimini in the land of Telugu.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
It is nice to see Sri Sanjay mentioning Subha Argala happens not only from benefic planets but from the unobstructed argala. I don’t know whether he endorses that or not, but at least he referred it (यस्य पाप श्शुभोवापि ग्रहस्थिष्ठे च्चुभार्गळे). I sincerely hope he would consider the other word निध्यातुः in Argala Sutra.<br />
<br />
<br />

For this purpose, I am using the horoscope of a very influential Jyotish Guru on Internet. I am not disclosing the name of the person for obvious reasons and I hope readers could easily guess this personality. I humbly submit to the readers that this chart is used only for academic purpose and request the readers to kindly forgive me for any mistakes.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">Chara Paryaya Dasa is, as I already indicated earlier, a very important Phalita dasa, which should sparingly be used only when certain a combination exists in the horoscope. In fact, the students of Jaimini system would do well to appreciate the fact that all the dasas mentioned in the 4<sup>th</sup> pada of 2<sup>nd</sup> Adhyaya of Jaimini Sutras are Rajayoga dasas. That may be reason, why Sage Jaimini ended the 3<sup>rd</sup> pada of 2<sup>nd</sup> Adhyaya with a general purpose dasa namely “Chara Dasa”.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">Why is it a special dasa? </span></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">Sage Jaimini opens 4<sup>th</sup> pada with a special dasa in the name of Chara Paryaya Dasa and mentions the conditional combination to observe when applying this dasa. Sage Jaimini writes</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="SA" style="color: black;">द्वितीयं भावबलं चरनवांशे २</span><span style="color: black;">-<span lang="SA">४</span>-<span lang="SA">१</span></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">dvitīyaṁ bhāvabalaṁ caranavāṁśe 2-4-1</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="color: #c00000; line-height: 115%;">Translation:</span></b><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;"> The second source of strength shall be used in Chara Paryaya Dasas.</span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">Well, this translation seems to be very odd and exaggerated to the students of this science. It is quite reasonable, since we never followed the spirit of Sage Jaimini. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">How the term <b>navāṁśe</b> mean “Paryaya”? This needs futher analysis which opens new vistas in Jaimini system. The ancient commentators answers this very well. Navama term has been used by Sage Jaimini in three instance in the whole sutras. One, at mentioning of the first sutra of 3<sup>rd</sup> pada and one at the first sutra of 4<sup>th</sup> pada. Most modern commentators interpreted them according to the teachings of Neelakantha. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">Now, I am presenting a novel interpretation based on the commentaries “Jataka Sara Sangraha”, “Sutrartha Prakasika”from my mother land and my Guru’s work “Jaimini Sutramritam”. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">The first sutra mentioning the Navamsa term reads thus.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="SA" style="color: black;">विषमे तदादिर्नवांशः २</span><span style="color: black;">-<span lang="SA">३</span>-<span lang="SA">१</span></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">viṣame tadādirnavāṁśaḥ 2-3-1</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="SA" style="color: black;">अन्यथा आदर्षादिः २</span><span style="color: black;">-<span lang="SA">३</span>-<span lang="SA">२</span></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">anyathā ādarṣādiḥ 2-3-2</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="color: #c00000; line-height: 115%;">My Understanding:</span></b><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;"> The first sutra according to most commentators is about the Navamsa Dasa and there has been claims from Scholars like Sri K.N.Rao that he knows about 15 types of Navamsa dasa reckoning. Jataka Sara Sangraha apty calls it as Darpana Dasa. I don’t debate on which name is correct. Yet, it is prudent to understand that this Navamsa dasa starts from an odd sign. That is, if the lagna is odd, it starts from that sign and if even, starts from an “adarsa sign”. It has been a popular view that Adarsa sign is 8<sup>th</sup> sign for Chara, 6<sup>th</sup> for fixed sign and 7<sup>th</sup> for dual sign. Now, we shall clearly understand the mistake in this interpretation. The Adarsa sign for movable, fixed signs will be of different oddity<a href="http://www.blogger.com/post-create.g?blogID=323196828962288642#_ftn1" name="_ftnref1" title=""><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span class="MsoFootnoteReference"><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">[1]</span></span></span></a>, where as for dual signs it will be of same oddity, which shows the fallacy of this interpretation. Sri Rangacharya proved this fallacy and has shown the alternate interpretation based on classics like Jataka Sara Sangraha, Kalpalatha etc. So, the correct adarsa sign of the dual sign will be 4<sup>th</sup> sign according to prakriti chakra. </span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;"> With going into further details, I can only add that </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">1.<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">Dasa sign need not be the Lagna.</span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: 0.5in; text-align: justify; text-indent: -0.25in;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">2.<span style="font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> </span></span><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">Paka and Bhoga signs are very important in this “Navamsa (read Darpana) dasa”.</span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">The second sutra relates to Chara Paryaya dasa and reads thus.</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="SA" style="color: black;">द्वितीयं भावबलं चरनवांशे २</span><span style="color: black;">-<span lang="SA">४</span>-<span lang="SA">१</span></span></span></span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="color: black; font-family: inherit; font-size: small; line-height: 115%;">dvitīyaṁ bhāvabalaṁ caranavāṁśe 2-4-1</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><b><span style="color: #c00000; line-height: 115%;">My Understanding:</span></b><b><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;"> </span></b><span style="color: black; line-height: 115%;">This sutra mentions that the 2<sup>nd</sup> source of strength exclusively be used in this Chara and Navamsa Dasa.

<br />
Dear Friends,<br />
<br />
<div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Recently, I had a chance to visit one of the wonderful manuscripts libraries in Chennai in the quest of Jaimini System. I am reproducing below some of my findings for the benefit of all. I could get hold of printed commnetary of Neelakantha on two adhyayas of Jaimini and the text of remaining two Adhyayas. As usual I will submit to Saptarishis Astrology for uploading them in their download page. As you all understand the Neelakantha commentary is a beacon in understanding Jaimini System. Neelakantha is the first commentator who has explained the sutras in a very methodogical manner with his great understanding of Sanskrit sutra literature, which according to my Guru is perfect. I have a Telugu commentary on Jaimini Sutras which has just translated the Neelakantha commentary word to word without understanding the system. Why I write this is to show amount of plagiarism in the Jaimini commentaries available in print. This work was published by Vekateswara Stream Press, Mumbai.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There are some of commentaries which are, probably, not available today. I am listing them for the benefit of readers. I could not get them all since, it costs me much. That library is a private libary and they charged Rs. 10 for each photo snap I take. So, this time I could afford to get only Neelakantha commetary and I hope I will get the other works in near future.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The printed commentaries available there are,</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div></div><ol><li><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Commentary by Achtutananda Jha published in Varanasi</div></li>
<li><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Commentary by Sita Rama Sharma (Jha ???) published in Varanasi</div></li>
<li><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Commetanry of Pt. Ram Yattan Ojha. It is an exhaustive commentary on first two adhyayas. Pt. Ram Yattan Ojha was the Great Astrologer who used Parivritti Drekkana chart with perfection.</div></li>
</ol><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">There is a another BPHS variation, which is very important for students of Jaimini Astrology, namely Sridhara Pandita Sanskrit commentary. This work contains the Jaimini part which is most surprisingly similar to the available Vriddha Karikas on Jaimini that supports 7 Chara Karakas etc.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Hope this information is useful for the students of Jaimini.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Sarve JanaaH Sukhino Bhavantu</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Best Regards,</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Shanmukha</div>Shanmukhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00314084747143204514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323196828962288642.post-77858185225228935132010-03-20T04:02:00.000-07:002010-03-20T04:45:50.075-07:00Why not BPHS<div style="text-align: justify;">Dear Friends,</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I am copy and pasting one of the reply I gave on a group regarding the BPHS and Jaimini System. Of course, I know most of the points are repeats from earlier articles, still I thought I better put it here. Hope you enjoy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Om Namah Sivaya</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Namaste All,</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Kindly let me add a few points here.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Yes, The mixing is not forbidden, but there has been a humble suggestion by experts in Jaimini Astrology not to mix Parasari principles with Jaimini. Yes, the taste of pudding is in eating and of course on the ability of the cook as well. Yet, as Sri Bhaskar pointed out we eat south indian idli sambar as a whole and other noth indian dishes, but I guess not mixing them in the same plate/bowl. Kindly take it light.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Well, now the real question why most scholars take Parasara and Jaimini different. There is a valid reason behind this apart from the discrepancy in versions, chapters, sloka etc.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">No, ancient commentator of Jaimini sutras take reference to Parasara. They always quote the authenticity of Vriddha Karikas, but not Sage Parasara. For example, Somanatha, the author of Kalpalatha, a wonderful commentary on Jaimini, referred to Brihat Jataka, but not Parasara. If we follow, Sridhara Pandita Sanskrit commentary on BPHS, published a century back, the concepts regarding Jaimini, are more in line with ancient commentators, where as relatively modern commentary by Sitaram Jha differs.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If you take available BPHS, you never find the Sampat Dasas like Chara Paryaya, Sthira Paryaya, Bhava Rahasya dasa etc. which find an important place in most of Jaimini commentaries. Even, if they do in some editions, they may different to the ways used by Jaimini classics. Their way of calculating Drig Dasa, Manduka Dasa is entirely different from what BPHS gives and they mentions the parameters to be used with each dasa, quoting the authenticity of either Vriddha Karika or the Jaimini Sutras, but not BPHS. Evan the later commentators like Durga Prasada Dwivedi never quote Parasara. He took refernce to Bala Krishnananada Swami, Neelakantha etc.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is only the modern commentator Sri Sanjay Rath, who quotes only BPHS in commenting Jaimini Sutras and no Vriddha Karikas. Kindly have a look at Shyamasundara Dasa's article on BPHS.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It is not prudent to argue that these commentators didn't have access to BPHS or they didn't care to follow Sage Parasara, since they talk of Udu dasas and the Nakshtras and their lord etc. They always claim that this system is a secret system and to be used as such. For example, they mention a number of Ayurdasa like Hora, Atmanadi, Atmano Bhava Pamsa etc. and call them Antaranga sasthra and asks us to use sparingly and they talk of Bahiranga sasthra as predictive Phalita dasas as well.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">If we closely follow them, their way of calculating Argala, Rajayoga, Arudha etc. are very different from the concepts given by BPHS. So, it will good to follow the advice by our elders not to mix. Anyway, as Sri B.V.Raman puts it, Astrology both Scince as well as Art, so it is upto the astrologer to use the tools.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">P.S : Somanatha writes that Jaimini system can broadly be divided as Antaranga and Bahiranga system. The Phalita dasas come under Bahiranga system and be freely used for horoscopic analysis, where as Ayur dasas come under Antaranga system and be used sparingly from Raja Yoga horoscopes. He clearly mentions that Drekkana chart is a Antaranga system and have prime importance in Jaimini even over Navamsa chart and shall be used in deciding Rajayoga of the native. There has been an extensive details about a Drekkana Dasa in Jataka Sara Sangraha as a Rajayoga dasa used in charts of Kings .</div>Shanmukhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00314084747143204514noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323196828962288642.post-3984499464658900772010-01-07T23:05:00.000-08:002010-01-07T23:05:39.079-08:00Jaimini On BlindnessOm Namah Sivaya<br />
<br />
<br />
Dear friends,<br />
<br />
Wish you a Happy New Year 2010 to all (Of course, belated).<br />
<br />
The following is a small write-up written almost a year back, 17th December 2008 to be exact. Now, it’s been updated with some more info.<br />
<br />
The other day I was told that there is a specific sutra in Jaimini, which gives a combination for blindness. Yesterday, I searched for that sutra and found it in 1st chapter, 3rd Pada. The relevant sutra is given below. <br />
<br />
शुक्रात् गौण पदस्थो राहुः सूर्य दृष्टो नेत्रहा निः<br />
<br />
śukrāt gauṇa padastho rāhuḥ sūrya dṛṣṭo netrahā (niḥ)<br />
<br />
<br />
Let us see what our commentators dealt with this sutra.<br />
<br />
Sri Rangacharya (adopted from Telugu commentary): If Panchama Arudha (A5) is occupied by Rahu and aspects by Sun, and then there will be loss of eyesight.<br />
<br />
Sri Sanjay (JMUS): Venus and Gaunapada aspected by or conjoined by Rahu and Sun cause blindness.<br />
<br />
<strong>Update: </strong><br />
<br />
Somanatha - Kalpalatha : If Rahu occupies the Arudha of 5th house of Lagna and aspected by Sun, there will be loss to eyesight. Gaunapada means Panchama Arudha (A5).<br />
<br />
Now, I will explain how to come to the above interpretations.<br />
<br />
शुक्र --> श(5), र (2) , 25 divided by 12 1 , that is lagna.<br />
<br />
गौण --> ग (3) ण (5), 53 divided by 12 5, that is 5th.<br />
<br />
पद --> Arudha<br />
<br />
So, according to Somanatha and Sri Rangacharya, gounapada means Panchama Arudha.<br />
<br />
But, Sri Sanjay takes shukra as the planet Venus, and gounapada as Arudha of 12th house, and interprets accordingly. <br />
<br />
Yet, it was clearly mentioned in the sutra śukrāt meaning that from śukra. Now, I am giving my interpretation and please read on.<br />
<br />
The Sage Jaimini as I always put it that He is very cryptic and puts a lot into small words. When He says śukrāt, literally he means to count from Lagna as per katapayadi system. Next he says gounapastho, meaning either from A5 or UL since Gounapada is another name for Upapada according to BPHS. But houses are counted from lagna only unless otherwise stated; hence Sage need not verbatim instruct us to count from Lagna. Instead, He can safely say गौण पदस्थो राहुः सूर्य दृष्टो नेत्रहा निः (gauṇa padastho rāhuḥ sūrya dṛṣṭo netrahā (niḥ) which suffices the above interpretations.<br />
<br />
Hence, interpreting śukrāt as from Lagna may not suffice to convey the Sage intention. If we see the other sutras, Sage never said shukaat for Lagna. He used Leya, Pitri etc for Lagna. It is well known fact that Venus and Sun are taken as Karaka for eyesight in different systems. If we take the katapayadi value for Pada also then, प - pa(1), द - da(8), 9. <br />
<br />
So, I interpret in the following way.<br />
<br />
<strong>The 5th or/and 9th house from Venus/Lagna are aspected or conjoined by Rahu and Sun causes blindness.</strong> <br />
<br />
One can argue that Sage can simply say त्रिकोणे (trikoṇe), instead of गौण पदस्थो (gauṇa padastho). Well, that’s also possible, yet I am giving below some of the example charts where the above interpretation worked and request the readers to ponder.<br />
<br />
<strong>Chart 1: Page 63, Jyotish Digest Jul-Sep 2006, March 28, 1999, 09:07:35 1.00 East, 19E51, 45N46</strong><br />
<br />
In this chart, the Asc is Gemini and Venus is in Aries. The 9th from Venus, Sagittarius is aspected by Sun from Pisces, and 9th from Lagna – Aquarius is aspected by Rahu from Cancer. The eyesight improved with the help of medical intervention. Look at benefic aspect of Jupiter from Pisces.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/S0bTvvz778I/AAAAAAAAAgY/6GhBR9-56zI/s1600-h/Chart+1.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/S0bTvvz778I/AAAAAAAAAgY/6GhBR9-56zI/s400/Chart+1.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><br />
<br />
<strong>Chart 2: Page 63, Jyotish Digest Jul-Sep 2006, June 9, 1965, (1:00 East), 14E36, 45N06</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/S0bVVIVb3vI/AAAAAAAAAgg/ekoRVh5Rq74/s1600-h/Chart+2.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/S0bVVIVb3vI/AAAAAAAAAgg/ekoRVh5Rq74/s400/Chart+2.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><br />
In the chart 2, Venus occupies Ascendant Gemini. The 5th from Asc and Venus is aspected by Sun and Rahu from Taurus. In fact, the 5th house is aspected by all malefic planets viz, Sun Rahu, Mars, Saturn and Mercury excepting aspect of Jupiter.<br />
<br />
<br />
<strong>Chart 3: Page 104, COVA by Sri Sanjay</strong><br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/S0bWvfDp8tI/AAAAAAAAAgo/1Bjf6AhFkRk/s1600-h/Chart+3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/S0bWvfDp8tI/AAAAAAAAAgo/1Bjf6AhFkRk/s320/Chart+3.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><br />
In the above chart, 5th from Venus is aspected by Rahu from Libra and occupied by Saturn, and 9th from Venus is aspected by Sun from Pisces. 5th from Lagna is again aspected by Merc, Mars and Saturn. <br />
<br />
<strong>Chart 4: Page 104, COVA by Sri Sanjay Rath.</strong><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/S0bW5RB7arI/AAAAAAAAAgw/6mg6ZSW4wd8/s1600-h/Chart+4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/S0bW5RB7arI/AAAAAAAAAgw/6mg6ZSW4wd8/s320/Chart+4.JPG" /></a><br />
</div>In the above chart, neither 5th nor 9th from Venus is aspected by either Rahu or Sun. But as an extension of the above principle, we can take aspect/ conjunction of Rahu and Sun with Venus/Lagna also. Since Lagna is also one trine sign. See, the aspect of Rahu on Venus from Pisces and the aspect of Sun on Lagna from Gemini.<br />
<br />
<strong>Chart 5: Page 105, COVA by Sri Sanjay Rath</strong><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/S0bX4q-HeYI/AAAAAAAAAhI/jE2GVjr1WDo/s1600-h/Chart+5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/S0bX4q-HeYI/AAAAAAAAAhI/jE2GVjr1WDo/s320/Chart+5.JPG" /></a><br />
</div>Rahu conjoined Venus in Aquarius. 5th from Venus and Lagna both are aspected by Sun and Saturn. The 9th from Venus is aspected by Rahu and Ketu, occupied by Mars.<br />
<br />
<strong>Chart 6: Page 105, COVA by Sri Sanjay</strong><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/S0bXDwd7z8I/AAAAAAAAAg4/_ojyxv8TY2g/s1600-h/Chart+6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/S0bXDwd7z8I/AAAAAAAAAg4/_ojyxv8TY2g/s320/Chart+6.JPG" /></a><br />
</div><br />
The 5th from Lagna is aspected by Sun, the 5th from Venus aspected by Rahu and Venus, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter. The native is having one eye blind, but can see from the other eye. See the exalted aspect of Jupiter from Cancer to the concerned houses.<br />
<br />
<strong>Chart 7: Page 106, COVA by Sri Sanjay Rath</strong><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/S0bXRP2w_lI/AAAAAAAAAhA/SV-8xHMW1UQ/s1600-h/Chart+7.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" ps="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/S0bXRP2w_lI/AAAAAAAAAhA/SV-8xHMW1UQ/s320/Chart+7.JPG" /></a><br />
</div>The 5th house (9th house from Venus) is aspected by Rahu and Sun. Sun conjoined Venus in Leo and aspect by Jupiter on the above combination. The native went surgery in his 7th year and emerged successful.<br />
<br />
So, from the above examples, we can infer that my interpretation may be a necessary condition, but not sufficient condition. We have to test on a number of charts to see how it works. It can be seen from the above examples that the combinations works more so from Venus. And I think that we will have to focus more on Venus. <br />
<br />
The word sukraat might be the key here. It is just redundant if Sage intends to say from Lagna as I explained above. Remember Sage Jaimini never wastes a letter, forget a word. But, Lagna can be taken Upalakshana and it can be observed in Mandooka dasa interpretation also, where sthoola has been interpreted to mean both Lagna and Seventh house. <br />
<br />
I just tried on seven charts. I request you all to work on this sutra. Let’s see how it works.<br />
<br />
*********************************** Update**********************************<br />
<br />
Today, I was referring to BPHS (Telugu commentary) and found to my surprise, that the views expressed by me were also endorsed by BPHS. In fact, the verse of BPHS mentions as follows.<br />
<br />
BPHS: If Rahu occupied in any of the trines from either from Venus or Karaka or Arudha Lagna and aspected by Sun leads to blindness. <br />
<br />
So, here the available verse of BPHS doesn’t mention about either Panchama Arudha or the Upapada. It clearly mentions the trines which is the Katapayadi numeric of Gauna and Pada. Further, the Telugu commentator wants us to take the stronger fifth house from the Venus, AK and AL and the Arudha of that particular house obtains the given combination of Rahu and Sun leads to blindness.<br />
<br />
Seeking Blessings,<br />

In fact on that day, I didn't know what I would do with a blog. Being an engineer, I just wanted to have a blog to be in tune with the technology. So, I shared the concepts I came came across during my study into Jaimini Astrology. So, let me look back and see how far I came forward.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">I can admit, I am successful in maintaining this blog with all blessings of yours. I hope I have created an impression that there is much into Jaimini than is available to us vis both print and electronic media. As I wrote somewhere in this blog itself that we have to reconstruct the Jaimini system, which has been lost in time. Yet, there is no dearth of knowledge if we really want to learn this system, that may be evident from the posting of mine on this blog.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">I knowover a couple of months, I have been critisizing a parampara and which may be not too good. My point was to prove Jaimini is much more potent than these Parampara knowledge.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">So, on this anniversary day, the first birthday of this blog, I request you all to give feedback and suggestions which will definitely give the fuel. There are a couple of promises that I made to one of the reader and friend of mine, which I couldn't keep up. I will definitely come up with an exhaustive article on Chara Dasa(RB-NS) method, which provide my experience in timinig marriage. I had been busy in preparing for my promotion issues whic had been pending for a couple of years and God grace, I got the promotion. </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Of course, there are no new resolutions, but I can promise that I will keep up the promise to introduce the ancient commentaries. I end this blog with an appeal to you all to give feedback on the concepts/ style of writing etc. to keep myself active.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Sarve Janah Sukhinoh Bhavantu.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">Seeking Blessings,</div><div align="justify">Shanmukha</div>Shanmukhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00314084747143204514noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323196828962288642.post-18969287454899503162009-11-27T00:44:00.000-08:002009-11-27T00:49:46.092-08:00NADI NAVAMSA – Sri Sanjay Rath<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><st1:place>Om</st1:place> Namah Sivaya<br /></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Dear Friends,</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">A couple of weeks back Sri Sanjay Rath came out with a new variation of Navamsa reckoning in the name of “Nadi Navamsa”. Readers may visit <a href="http://sohamsa.com/">http://sohamsa.com</a> for the presentation on this new Nadi Navamsa.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Sri Rath claimed that this variation was culled from Chandra Kala Nadi and also quoted one verse from the work as well. Sri Narasimha has given a detailed critique on this and we all know the outcome of it. Now, without going into details of their discussion, let us try to understand what this Nadi Navamsa does mean. </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">It was pointed out by many of the scholars on Internet that this variation is nothing but the <st1:place>Krishna</st1:place> Mishra Navamsa advocated by Krishna Mishra in his Jyotisha Phalaratnamala. I wrote a two part article on this variation, trying to understand the Karakamsa chapter of Jaimini Sutras. We have a couple of blogs on this Navamsa variation on this blog as well.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Let us see what Sri Rath wrote about this variation in his commentary on Jaimini Sutras. Jaimini Maharshi Upadesha Sutras (JMUS), translated by Sri Sanjay Rath, and published by Sagar Publications, <st1:country-region><st1:place>India</st1:place></st1:country-region>, Page No. 26 first paragraph reads as follows “<b>Some astrologers use the Phalaratnamala whereby the reckoning of navamsas, although regular for odd signs, is reverse for even signs. This is not recommended”. </b>So, Sri Sanjay opines that Krishna Mishra variation of Navamsa is not recommended. Now, he came up with (rechristened according to his ex-disciple) a new variation namely Nadi Navamsa, which is nothing but the reckoning explained in Phalaratnamala. What did make Sri Sanjay to take U turn?</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Yes, I admit that we all learn from experience and grow continually, which is scholarly approach. Yet, at the same time, we must admit that fact.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">It was indicated by Sri Sanjay that he referred to Phalaratnamala (See the “Select Bibliography” in JMUS) while writing commentary on Jaimini Sutras, but couldn’t understand the Navamsa reckoning as advocated by Krishna Mishra till he studied Chandra Kala Nadi. As we all know, he is considered the best teacher on Jaimini system with a centuries old lineage of Jaimini. May be he had felt our generation was not matured to understand this subtle concepts.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Let me state a few facts about this.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1"> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">This variation of Navamsa was explained by Krishna Mishra vide the <b>3<sup>rd</sup> verse of first chapter</b>.</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">It was Sri Rangacharya, perhaps the first who first brought out the correct interpretation this verse and used for practical predictions. I am an eyewitness for his meticulous explanation of this Navamsa while explaining Karakamsa results.</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Sri Sanjay writes that he observed this reckoning from Chandra Kala Nadi, 3<sup>rd</sup> volume.</li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">The reckoning in reverse for even sign is only used in Jaimini system, which was clearly explained by Sage Jaimini vide sutra “<span lang="HI" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Sanskrit 2003";color:black; mso-bidi-language:HI;mso-no-proof:yes">प्राची</span><span lang="HI" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Sanskrit 2003";color:black; mso-no-proof:yes"> </span><span lang="HI" style="font-size:16.0pt; font-family:"Sanskrit 2003";color:black;mso-bidi-language:HI;mso-no-proof: yes">वृत्तिर्विषमेषु</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Sanskrit 2003"; color:black;mso-bidi-language:HI;mso-no-proof:yes"> , <span lang="HI">परा</span></span><span lang="HI" style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Sanskrit 2003";color:black; mso-no-proof:yes"> </span><span lang="HI" style="font-size:16.0pt; font-family:"Sanskrit 2003";color:black;mso-bidi-language:HI;mso-no-proof: yes">वृत्त्योत्तरेषु</span><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Sanskrit 2003"; color:black;mso-bidi-language:HI;mso-no-proof:yes"> .</span><o:p></o:p></li> </ol> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Now, the very clear questions.</p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><o:p> </o:p></p> <ol style="margin-top:0in" start="1" type="1"> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Does anywhere, except in Jaimini system, the Prakriti Chakra reckoning used? What does Sri Sanjay say about concepts like Ayur Lagna, Sapada Ghaatika Lagna, also mentioned in Chandra Kala Nadi? Does he put them under Nadi concepts for mere mention in CKN?<br /><br /></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Is it not apparent that this Nadi Navamsa is not nothing but Navamsa calculation based on Prakriti Chakra reckoning?<br /><br /></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">If Sri Rath had studied Phalarantamala, how could he miss the very important concept, which Krishna Mishra exposed in first chapter and used extensively in dasas as well?<br /><br /></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Could he advocate or name the Hora Lagna calculation given in CKN as <b>Nadi Hora Lagna</b>. This calculation was used by Raghava Bhatta in Hora Dasa and again is entirely different from Hora Lagna in BPHS?<br /><br /></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Is not logical to assume that Sri Sanjay was on record not to recommend this variation without extensive testing / understanding of ancient literature? We all know he is the world’s best teacher in Jaimini and theorizing many concepts.<br /><br /></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Is it not proper to attribute this variation to Krishna Mishra, who is the original originator of this variation? Of course, some of the concepts of Jaimini find mention in Nadi texts, yet this very fact doesn’t suffice to attribute Prakriti chakra to Nadi texts. Prakriti Chakra, which is the base of this variation, is proprietary of Sage Jaimini and of his ancient commentators.<br /><br /></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">A Guru of the Parampara claimed that it is their parampara which survived Jaimini system. I admit that it is their parampara that popularized Jaimini System in recent times at the same time introduced many half baked Jaimini concepts. He writes “<span style="color:black">Guruji (Sri Sanjay Rath) has read all these commentaries, understood them, tested them, (has rare commentaries not available to the average public), and </span><strong><u><span style="color:fuchsia">has the teaching of a living lineage (Parampara) of Jaimini </span></u></strong><span style="color:black">which he was born into and is required to continue. Sanjay's family lineage was invited to Orissa by the King of Puri because of their jnana.” If you want to read more, you can at <a href="http://jyotish-blog.blogspot.com/2009/08/on-various-commentaries-jaimini.html">http://jyotish-blog.blogspot.com/2009/08/on-various-commentaries-jaimini.html</a><br /><br /> </span></li> <li class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">Did they ever bring out the any reference from any of the commentaries except BHPS, which in itself has many incoherent concepts of Jaimini system?</li> </ol> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin-left: 0.25in; "><o:p> </o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;margin-left: 0.25in; ">I tried to send this request from <a href="http://sohamsa.com/">http://sohamsa.com</a> feedback facility as I don’t have Sanjay’s mail id, but somehow it failed.

According to BPHS, the Upasana is to be seen from D-20 and following that advice, the logic used Sri Narasimha seems to be correct. </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">Yet, in Jaimini system, Karakamsa plays an important role in understandoing the person devotion. Karaka + Amsa generally means, the Amsa occupied by Atma Karaka planet. Sage Jaimini in his sutra stated "Atha Swamso Grahanaam". It is a very potent sutra since the Sage indicates "Swa", which generally means AK. Yet, there is a lot more to it than the apparent. Swakaraka is an important planet and Kalpalatha deals a great deal with it. So, for the sake of clarity, let us all take AK as Swa Karaka. Vimsamsa never been dealt in any Jaimini works, so let us not go into debate whether Jaimini rejected or accepted it, but first let us concentrate on the parameters given in this school of thought.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">The following two are the links to my Jaimini Navamsa article.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/19874893/Jaimini-Navamsa-Part-1-NI">http://www.scribd.com/doc/19874893/Jaimini-Navamsa-Part-1-NI</a></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"><a href="http://www.scribd.com/doc/19183735/30True-Jaimini-Navamsa-Revealed-2">http://www.scribd.com/doc/19183735/30True-Jaimini-Navamsa-Revealed-2</a></div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">The first link gives North Indian Chart version. The south Indian chart versionis missing with me, so I uploaded the Notrh Indian chart version.The second link was uploaded by SA and gives the part2 of the artilce and givessouth Indian charts version.The first part explains the calculation of Jaimini Navamsa and Ishta devataconcepts, where as the second part explains the other aspects of Jaimini Navamsalike Karma Yoga etc.</div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">I had explained Krishana Mishra Navamsa on this webpage elsewhere as well. This is named as Jaimini Navamsa by Sri Rangacharya. Let us see how this variation works in seeing Devata Bhakti.</div><div align="justify"><br />Before going to the discussion on charts, let me state that reckoning houses and Argala for Rahu and Ketu was clearly explained by Krishna Mishra. I dont know whether it is explained in BPHS, if it was how this was missed by scholars ? There are some Jaimini commentaries which take "Tatviparitam Rahu Ketvoh" for the Argala.<br /><br />In the most of the charts discussed by Sri Narasimha in the post, the Krishna Mishra Navamsa works wonderful. Below, I explain the Jaimini pointers with Krishna Mishra Navamsa. I am writing this post spontaneously and any errors may kindly be forgiven.<br /><br />1. Ramakrishna Paramahamsa, explained in the article as how Durga becomes Ishta Devata.<br /><br />2. Sarada Mata - No planet occupies the 12th from AK in Jaimini Navamsa, yet the aspect of Rahu from 9th house of Karakamsa, on 12th lord Mars explains the influence on Durga. Also look at the conjunction of Rahu with Yogada Saturn which contributed to a large extent.<br /><br />3. Swami Vivekananda - It was a very clear principle from Jaimini thought that how Influence of Jupiter on 12th makes a person "Bramhatma Vadi" and a Vedanti. Look at the two best benefic planet Jupiter and Venus in 12th from AK. Though there is aspect of Rahu on the combination, which doesn't make much difference.<br /><br />Swami Vivekananda is considered great philosopher and excelled in Vedanta which is a clear attributes of Jupiter influence and if we take D-20 as you suggested, only there is Rahu and Ketu influence which doen't suffice.<br /><br />4. In case of Swami Trigunatitananda chart, 12th from AK Jupiter, occupied by Mercury and Mars shows the influence of Vaishnava. Look at Mercury is strong being in friends house. There was a clear dictum from Ancient Jaimini works that aspect of Moon sign lord / Moon / or Jupiter leads to traditional Vishnavism. If we take D-20, there is a clear influence of Rahu / Ketu which never attributed to Vaishnavism except the apect of Saturn from Virgo.<br /><br />5. Srila Prabhupada - I have clearly explained in my article.<br /><br />Look at the Krishna Mishra Navamsa, Saturn, Ketu and Jupiter occupied the 12th from AK Moon (As you know, we dont consider Rahu to be AK). It clearly shows the connection of Vaishnavism (Saturn).<br /><br />There is a clear dictum that Saturn in conjunction with Jupiter makes a person a Vaishnavite and follows Ramanuja Sampradaya. Look athe aspect of Venus from Saturn house (Madhva mata Sampradaya) on the 12th lord Mars. Goudiya Vaishnava Sampradaya is believed to be initiated by a Madhvacharya.<br /><br />The connection of Ketu in 12th inself shows the highest spirtual experience and liberation.<br />The debilitation of Saturn is lessened by conjunction of Jupiter.<br /><br />If we take AK as Rahu and D-20 and your logic, we get Jupiter in 12th in debilitation, which is detrimental for spirtuality.<br /><br />6. Tridandi Chinna Jeeyar Swami, I dont have his chart and hence can't comment.<br /><br />7. In case of Ramana Maharshi, he is known not for his devotion towards Lord Shiva. He is a Vedanti, which is clearly shown by the Ketu in 12th from AK Moon. The aspect of Moon sign lord Mercury, Venus lessen the aspect of Mars on Ketu. It is a clear dictum the combination of Mars, Venus, Rahu, Saturn with a Jupiter leads a person to a Sanyasi (Virakti). Though the combination doen't occur in this chart in full pledged manner. Yet, look at aspect of Jupiter, Saturn and Rahu on 12th lord Venus making him a Sanyasi. (Is it also called Avadhuta).<br /><br />Kindly verify whether this much clarity is seen in D-20 as well.<br /><br />8. Swami Chandrasekhara Saraswati - Look at the aspect of Juputer, Sun and Mars on 12th of AK Saturn. It is enough to understand his devotion towards Lord Shiva.<br /><br />9. In case of Prof Krishnamurthi, AK is Mars and 12th from him is not occupied by anu planet. A strong influence of Sun, Rahu (from 5th) and Ketu on debilitated Mars led him to Uchhista Ganapati Upasana. This is the only info I have regarding Sri Krishna Murthi and can't comment much on his Ishta Devata.<br /><br />10. By entering the details given by Sri Narasimha, I get AK as Moon and you write AK Saturn, so no comment.<br /><br />11. In case of Paramahamsa Yogananda, the AK Venus in Sg with Jupiter and Moon and Mercury in 5th from it shows the wonderful learning in tradition. The connection of Jup, Venus, Moon and Mercury on Karakamsa and its 5th indicate the person a (Prabandha Karta), shows why his autobiography of a Yogi is so revered in the world.<br /><br />12th is unoccupied, having aspects from Rahu, Saturn and Ketu and Mercury and Moon. Lord Mars is influenced by Venus and Jupiter. So almost all the planets excepting Sun influence the 12th house. As explained in Ramana Maharshi case, the influence of Jupiter, Venus, Saturn, and Rahu leads a person into Renunciation.<br /><br /><br />The above combinations, I culled from the Jaimini commentaries available with us. Here, as well, I am sticking to the basics. So, my humble request to all is not to ignore the valuable other Jaimini resouces. If we ignore them for the sake of our ignorance of Sanskrit language or the complexity of the Jaimini System, we will be at loss as our earlier generations have been.</div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify"></div><div align="justify">I request the readers to test the principles various charts and come to conclusion. As other scholar requested to clarify, this Navamsa shall, IMHO, invaraibly used to understand the Karakamsa chapter of Jaimini Sutras. JHora also gives this variation of Navamsa, thanks to Narasimha. Jaimini light software also gives it.<br /><br /><br />Warm regards,<br />Shanmukha</div>Shanmukhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00314084747143204514noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323196828962288642.post-80309417690196841992009-09-11T10:34:00.000-07:002009-09-15T04:28:00.551-07:00Chara Dasa - A Classical Reference<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="COLOR: rgb(255,102,0)" class="Apple-style-span">Shri Ganeshaya Namah</span></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Dear Friends,</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Last month, I introduced the Chara Dasa (Raghava Bhatta – Nrisimha Suri) variation with ample explanation and, of course, some of the ancient commentaries on the Jaimini system as well. I know the list is not exhaustive, but gives a glimpse of the vast knowledge that needs to be explored. I request the astrological fraternity to come forward and share the rare manuscripts to the public since the authors or the commentators of those valuable resources never intended them to be the household secrets or treasure. Since, I never intended this blog to be a forum as similar to some of the Parampara internet forums where they discuss and authenticate only the teachings of their Paramapara. I don’t want to write the names, but intelligent readers may ponder the state of affairs regarding the Jaimini on Internet. Yet, in this blog, I venture to write some strong comments with only academic interest.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">As I promised that I would give more authentic information on Chara Dasa, this month I am giving that information on Chara Dasa that ordains the Padakrama order for Chara Dasa.

Sign Arudha (Rasyarudha) and Aspect Arudha (Drishtyarudha) are two important Arudhas introduced by this text and extensively used By Raghava Bhatta. As exposed by Sri Rangacharya, the Aspect Arudha finds its extensive use in Drig Dasa which is based on Aspects. Readers may read commentary by Sri Rangacharya Sign Arudha. It looks the author of this work intends that this dasa may be used as Ayurdasa and accordingly he categorized this as Phalita and Ayurdasa as well.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Again, as a promise, I will write the exposition of Drig dasa which extensively uses Aspect Arudha Drishtyarudha as given in Jataka Sara Sangraha. I am really overwhelmed by the contents and explanation by Raghava Bhatta and that’s why his name referred as frequently as possible here.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><span style="color:#ff0000;"><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" class="Apple-style-span">Contradictory Points:</span></div></span><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><span style="color:#000099;"><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" class="Apple-style-span">BPHS and Neelakantha: </span></div></span><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Now, the interesting points are which differ from BPHS Chara Dasa and Neelakanta Chara Dasa. Readers may ponder that BPHS Chara Dasa and Neelakanta Chara Dasa are similar in most respects. I purposefully stated this as BPHS Chara Dasa not Parasara Chara Dasa for obvious reasons.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">This version of Chara Dasa</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">1. Doesn’t say that dasa movement according to oddity of 9th house.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">2.

Usage of Rudra and Rasyarudha</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">IMHO, except Neelakantha, no other original commentator approves the view of 9th house rule for Chara Dasa. We can understand this if we study the Chara Dasa by Raghava Bhatta, Nrisimha Suri and of course this text as well. Please go through the previous blogs to appreciate this.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><span style="color:#000099;"><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold" class="Apple-style-span">A Parampara Dasa in the name of Lord Vishnu:</span></div></span><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Next, the points are differing from a popular dasa in the name of Lord Vishnu as advocated by a Parampara. Let us call it ND. I discuss this only for academic purpose and I intend neither controversy intended nor defaming them.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The Paramapara unfortunately never discusses any standard Jaimini commentary in their possession, nor quote them in their articles. One self claimed scholar of that Parampara even writes that the students of the parampara not necessarily read the ancient commentaries since their Gurudev has already done that and tested them. He opines that reading other texts is Rajasic and perhaps reading the books of their Gurudev works is Sattvic and sufficient for them.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">One day, I was informed by one scholar of the Parampara that their Parampara recognizes another Navamsa in the name of Somanatha Navamsa. I requested the scholar to produce the relevant verse that gives the variation and he admitted he didn’t bother to learn about the source. So nice of him to admit. When I offered him that the available, IMHO corrupted, verse of Somanatha, he never turned up to discuss and they run a scholar program in the name of Sage Jaimini.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Sometime later, I requested another scholar of the same parampara about the source of Somanatha Navamsa that their Parampara recently introduced in their secret teachings. That scholar informed me that the name derived as Somanatha since the ancestors of the Parampara were migrated from Gujarat and the linkage with Somanatha temple. I can’t help myself but knocking my head to the wall. Then, I asked about Somanatha Drekkana, you know, the answer was obvious. The scholar explained that for the very reason it was given by Somanatha.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">And, the first scholar mentioned above, writes that their Parampara is a living lineage of Jaimini and they fail to understand the source of Somanatha Navamsa and its reckoning. Another scholar of the same parampara warns the students about the Guru Chandala Yoga in the sky (which is not in reality since Jupiter is retro in Capricorn and far away from Rahu) and its effect on Sage Jaimini teachings.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">There are many things which I don’t want to discuss here. Thanks for your patience.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Coming back to the Chara dasa,</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">1. The above text authenticates using Padakrama order for Chara Dasa, which is also followed in ND.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">2. ND follows Vishama Pada and Sama Pada of 9th house where as this text ordains using only oddity of Lagna for ascertaining the direction of dasa.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">3. ND asks us to start the dasa from the stronger of Lagna and its 7th, where as this text specifies that Chara Dasa always starts from Lagna.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">4. There are much more additions/ research etc. like Saturn exception, Ketu exception and Leo exception etc., which no other available sources acknowledge. And unfortunately, the Paramapara never bother to disclose or inquire the original verses for their claims. Nevertheless, this ND dasa is an intelligent extension of principles and readers may try its veracity.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">IMHO, The Parampara looks to have cleverly mixed the Neelakanta Chara Dasa with this variation with some other intelligent modifications and came up with a dasa in the name of Lord Vishnu. The following graphic depicts the same. Of course I may be wrong, yet one can appreciate better if they bringforth the relevant manuscript or resource, lest it becomes highly impossible to know whether it is their parampara research or individual attempt.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/SqspVbVz9dI/AAAAAAAAAdo/wggj3kBC90I/s1600-h/ND.bmp"><img style="WIDTH: 400px; HEIGHT: 225px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5380439627917424082" border="0" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/SqspVbVz9dI/AAAAAAAAAdo/wggj3kBC90I/s400/ND.bmp" /></a><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5e4dTQRveW0/SqslouyQ44I/AAAAAAAAAdg/okdhy3zuEcg/s1600-h/ND.bmp"></a></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">The text discussed above is, perhaps, the first commentary explains the padakrama for Chara Dasa, which was also followed in Jataka Sara Sangraha. Fortunately, the text discussed here, at a later chapter, mentions the Vishama Pada and Sama Pada and their usage in another dasa, but not for Chara Dasa. It again discusses the Ketu exception for another dasa and the Gurudev of the paramapara writes as if it was his own research/interpretation.</div><span style="color:#ff9900;"><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><strong><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Raghava Bhatta Chara Dasa:</div></strong><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><span style="color:#000000;"><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">In comparison with RB-NS Chara Dasa, there are many interesting points and that are tabulated below.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">1. Both use the Padakrama order, which is very important for the Phalita Dasas. If we study the 2nd adhyaya of Jaimini Sutras, we can observe definitely specific padakrama jumps invariably used for most Phalita dasas. For example, Drig Dasa and Mandooka Dasa use Trikona Padakrama in Udaya Chakra, where as Chara Paryaya Dasa uses another Padakrama in Prakritai Chakra.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">2. The Dasa start sign varies according to gender of the native in RB-NS which is not indicated in this text.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">3. The calculation of Dasa years also differs.

It is based on my Guru Sri Iranganti Rangacharya’s work Jaimini Sutramritam.<br /><br />The concerned sutra reads as follows.<br /><br /><strong>पंचमे पदक्रमात् प्राक् प्रत्यक्त्वम् चर दशायां<br />pamcame padakramāt prāk pratyaktvam cara daśāyām</strong><br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">Explanation:</span></strong><br /><strong><br /></strong>The word पंचम consists of three single lettered words प, च and म.<br /><strong>पं = लग्न</strong> (pam = Katapayadi Numeric Value gives Lagna)<br /><strong>म</strong> = A weapon and the weapon used by Sri Maha Vishnu is Chakra.<br /><strong>चमे = चकार पूर्वक मकार (came = cakāra pūrvaka makāra)</strong><br /><br />According to <strong>मध्यमपद लोपि कर्मधारय समास (madhyamapada lopi karmadhāraya samāsa),</strong> the word Chame indicates Chakram. Now, which Chakra is used? The answer lies in another sutra प्राची वृत्तिर्विषमेषु (prācī vrttirvishameshu) indicating the prakriti chakra shall be used in this case. I have explained about this Prakriti chakra in SA Volume 6. Hence, it is deduced this Chara dasa runs according to the Prakriti of Lagna.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">पदक्रमात् (padakramāt)</span></strong> , the dasa runs according to padakrama order. This is very important rider here. Neelakantha interprets this as Pada of signs that is Vishama Pada and Sama Pada which was also authenticated by Vriddha Karikas. Yet, in this variation Pada Krama order means the following.<br /><ul><li>For Chara Rasis: Regular Rasi order</li><li>For Sthira Rasis: Every 6th sign</li><li>For Ubhaya Rasis: Trine movement (1,5,9,2,6,10,3,7,11,4,8,12)</li></ul><p>Now, the words <strong>प्राक् प्रत्यक् (prāk pratyak)</strong> must be deciphered. Here, comes the importance of Sanskrit knowledge and the Vedanta literature. The proper antonym of <strong>प्रत्यक् (pratyak) is पराक् (parāk).</strong> Raghava Bhatta used the word <strong>पराक् (parāk)</strong> instead of <strong>प्राक् (prāk).</strong> The katapayadi numeric yields</p><p><br /><strong>पराक् = 121 / 12 gives the remainder as 1.<br />प्रत्यक् = 211 /12 gives the remainder as 4.</strong></p><p><br />So, the dasa starts from Lagna in case of male natives and from the fourth house for female natives. Now, how to reckon 4th house for female natives? The answer lies in the word <strong>चमे,</strong> which means according to the Prakriti chakra. For example, for a female natives if lagna is Virgo (even sign) the dasa starts from the forth house rekoned anti-zodiacally i.e Gemini. But the dasa runs according to the oddity of the Janma Lagna, not the oddity of the start sign as the first word पंचमे indicate.</p><p><br />In summarizing, we can deduce that Chara dasa starts from Lagna for male and from 4th house for female according to oddity of Lagna and in the order of Prakriti Chakra Padakrama order.<br /><br /><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">Dasa Years Calculation: </span></strong></p><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;"><p><br /></span></strong>Raghava Bhatta always interprets the Swaste vaara, Suthaste Janma sutras for dasa calculation and if the dasa lord in its 7th of dasa sign gives 10 years and if in the same house 12 years, which is the pecularity of all the phalita dasas dealt by him.<br /><br />Kindly remember he used swasthe Vaara, not daara which makes a lot of difference. This is culled from the manuscript available with us.<br /><br />In this version, he used Pratyak Varsha Gananam, which is reverse to the normal Naadhanta Sama Prayena rule by using the Na kwachit adhikara sutra. Hence, the calculation of dasa years will be from lord to the sign, which is reverse to the normal course.<br /><br /></p><p><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">My interpretation:<br /></span></strong></p><p>Though grammatically not correct, I understand the word पंचमे consists another meaning <strong>प (1),</strong> <strong>च (6)</strong> and <strong>म (5).</strong> That is for movable signs the movement will be every next sign <strong>(प =1),</strong> for fixed signs the movement will be every 6th sign <strong>(च = 6)</strong> and for dual signs, the movement will be <strong>(म = 5).</strong> </p><p><strong><span style="color:#330033;">Seeking Blessings</span></strong></p><p><strong><span style="color:#ff9900;">Shanmukha</span></strong></p>Shanmukhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00314084747143204514noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323196828962288642.post-19322850624108526102009-08-04T23:58:00.000-07:002009-08-10T01:50:06.541-07:00Chara Dasa (Raghava Bhatta - Nrisimha Suri method)<p class="MsoNormal" style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><span style="mso-tab-count: 4"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold; COLOR: rgb(255,204,0)font-size:21;" ><span style="mso-tab-count: 5"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; COLOR: rgb(0,0,0)font-size:16;" ><?xml:namespace prefix = st1 /><st1:place>Om</st1:place> Namah Sivaya<span style="mso-tab-count: 1"> </span></span></span></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><?xml:namespace prefix = o /><o:p>This month I am introducing Chara dasa (Raghava Bhatta – Nrisimha Suri method).

When I was writing my first article “Jaimini Navamsa” for Saptarishis Astrology On-Line magazine, I culled out the combinations given by Krishna Mishra for devotion towards various sects in Hinduism. I thought it was research work by Krishna Mishra since the combinations are not found in Jaimini Sutras. For example, a combination of Moon and Venus in 12th house from Karaka leads the person to do upasana for worldly purposes. In the present scenario, may it the person works as a priest in temples or if afflicted with a malefic like Rahu or Saturn, and then doing some tantric pujas for others. Let us see one more example. Whenever these malefic combinations like Saturn with Rahu or Ketu with Mars occurs in malefic sign, then the person definitely becomes either a Mantrik or doing such bad kinds of worship. Yet, Krishna Mishra mentions the whenever this combination aspected by Jupiter or occurs in the Jupiter’s sign, then it will be obstructed, that is the person will not involved in such things. Of course, these combinations are yet to be extensively tested.<o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:6.0pt;text-align:justify;mso-layout-grid-align: none;text-autospace:none"><span style="Palatino Linotype"font-family:";">Now comes the real surprise.

In this issue, there are three of my articles are published. One very good feature in this issue, is Sapatarshis Gurukul, which contains the answers by eminent scholars for intriguing topics in Astrology. My articles are in the part 2 of the Volume 6. You can download this issue at www.saptarishisastrology.com website. Of course, you need to be a member, which is very easy and a few clicks away.<br /><br />1. Jaimini Navamsa Part -2<br />2. Graha Chakra<br />3. Manipravala Rajayoga of Jaimini<br /><br />In the part2 of Jaimini Navamsa article yogas in Karakamsa for Politics and professional fame are disussed. Graha Chakra article is an introduction to the Manipravala Rajayoga. IMHO, this is the first time Graha Chakra is explained in detail with examples, where as this lead was taken by our Guru Sri Rangacharya who first explained this Graha Chakra. This Graha Chakra is very important, since it is the base for the important Rajayoga Manipravala and Amatya Yogas, of course, to determine the Dasa Karakas for Rasi Dasas and for yogas form Yogada planet.<br /><br />Dasa Karakas are the linchpin for the prediction of any Rasi Dasas which has been forgotten by the contemporary internet knowledge on Jaimini. This Dasa Karaka system was extensively used by all the ancient commentators like Krishna Mishra, his son Somanatha, Raghava Bhatta etc.<br /><br />In modern times, it was extensively used by Sri Vemuri Ramamurthis Sastri, the legend of Jaimini system in the last century. He never writes dasa predictions without Dasa Karakas.Though he used a no. of Jaimini Rasi Dasas depending on the horoscopic conditions, yet his favourite being the "Pada Nathamsa Dasa". As you may know this dasa was exposed by Krishna Mishra in "Jyotish Phalaratnamala", starts from sign occupied by the lord of Arudha Lagna in Navamsa Chart and proceeds in Navamsa chart only. As Arudha and Navamsa are connected with this Dasa, this is a Phalita Dasa as well as a Ayurdasa.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Shanmukha</div>Shanmukhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00314084747143204514noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-323196828962288642.post-85966893057926045432009-05-25T01:47:00.000-07:002009-06-15T22:06:39.764-07:00An Introduction To Jataka Sara Sangarha<p>Om Namah Sivaya</p><br /><p>Namaste All,<br /><br />I have promised to introduce the classical works on Jaimini Astrology on this personal blog and of course it is theme of the blog. I am fortunate to study this text, of course not extensively. People can appreciate the genius of the work by reading “Jaimini Sutramritam”, by Sri Rangacharya, who has done an excellent research on this work. Keeping to my promise, I am writing a small introduction below, on “Jataka Sara Sangraha” by Raghava Bhatta.<br /><br />“Jataka Sara Sangahra”, an important classical work on Jaimini, was written by Gottimukkula Raghava Bhatta, s/o Ramachandra Diskshita. . It is believed that he lived in around 1650 AD since the example horoscope given by him was worked out by the scribe gives the year as 1604 AD. It was told by the Guru of the scribe, Sri Iranganti Rangacharya, that Raghava Bhatta is a Telugu speaking scholar, and might have hailed from Telangana area of Andhra Pradesh State. The above work was written in Sanskrit language and this scribe is fortunate to have a look at text in a manuscript from though, written in Telugu script. It was printed with Telugu script an hundred years ago, and since then nobody tried to bring it to astrological fraternity.<br /><br />Most of us are in a view that the delineation of Rasi Dasas is not indicated in the classical works. This text obviates the above notion and gives many clues about interpreting them. It goes to the extent of giving the results specific and unique to each Rasi Dasa.<br /><br />For example, it indicates, by the authority of a Vriddha Karika, that the results of Drik Dasa shall be studied from<br /><br />Dasa Sign<br />Dasa Sign in Navamsa<br />Dasa Sign in Dwadasamsa. (This is very special and specific to this Dasa)<br />Sign Arudha of Dasa Sign<br /><br />Raghava Bhatta indicates that aspect of the planets on the Dasa sign and their respective Aspect Arudhas play an important role in Drik Dasa. Probably this is the reason for this Dasa be called as Drik Dasa. This again obviates the calculation of Drik Dasa based on aspect of signs as is currently being done by most of the scholars.<br /><br />The example horoscope given by him in this work is given below, generated using JHora Software and of course the degrees of the planets do change a bit. Since, we never know the Ayanamsa used then, this is quite understandable.

The software gives a day as Saturday, where as it was mentioned to be Thursday by the author. Nevertheless it gives correct year as 1604 AD which is actual difference from Saka Samvatsara to the modern calendar of 78 years<br /><br />Sri Raghava Bhatta divided his work broadly into two categories one Ayurdaya (Longevity) and other Phalita (Predictive part). The first part deals with the calculation of longevity and various AyurDasas. Next he dealt various phalita Dasas for normal and raja yoga natives. And then lastly, he dealt with the Raja Yogas from Jaimini Angle. He always makes a point in quoting the relevant Vriddha Karika verse supporting this interpretation. This is very important for us for the very reason this system has been a secret and nowadays new theories are cropping up without any solid reference.<br /><br />He gave the following very special lagans that you never find elsewhere.</p><p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">(Correction: It was informed by s/shri Sun22 and Ast that these following Lagnas were mentioned in Deva Keralam. Thanks to them for the information.)</span><br /><br />Savayava Hora Lagna (Extensively used in Ayurdaya)<br />Sapada Ghatika Lagna (Chaturthamsa Lagna) ( --do-- )<br />Ayur Lagna ( --do-- )<br /><br />Owing to the nature of this blog, though complete exposition of the parameters can’t be given, but various important Dasas mentioned in the work are given below for the benefit of the readers.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;">AyurDasas – Longevity based Dasas.<br /></span></strong><br />Darpana Dasa<br />Niryana Sula Dasa (For Self, Fahter, Mother Etc.)<br />Jaya Bhava Pamsa Dasa<br />Atmano Bhava Pamsa Dasa<br />Hora Dasa<br />Atmanadi Dasa<br />Brahma Maheswara Dasa<br />Sthira Dasa (Start from Brahma Graha)<br />Varnada Dasa<br />Drekkana Dasa (Both Ayur Dasa and Phalita Dasa)<br /><br />It must be understood that though the above list is long, yet there are very specific and distinct rules of interpretation of each Dasa. For example the “Maraka Grahas” in Darpana Dasa are different from Niryana Sura Dasa, again different from Jaya Bhava Pamsa Dasa etc.<br /><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#ff9900;">Phalaita Dasas (Predictive Dasas)<br /></span></strong><br />Raghava Bhatta has given a number of Phalita Dasas and some of them are secret as well. The following are for the benefit of readers.<br /><br />Some of the Sampat Dasas :<br /><br />1. Chara Dasa (Male and Female) for all horoscopes<br />2. Chara Paryaya Dasa<br />3. Sthira Paryaya Dasa<br />4. Trikona Dasa (Gochara Dasa)<br />5. Drik Dasa<br />6. Manduka Dasa<br />7. Nakshatra Dasa (Tara Lagna Dasa)<br />8. Bhava Rahasya Dasa<br />9. Rasya Bheda Brahma Dasa<br />10. Karaka Dasa (Atma Karaka Kendradi Dasa)<br />11. Upagraha Karaka Dasa<br />12. Lagna Kendradi Dasa<br />13. Brahma Dasa<br />14. Sthira Dasa (Phalita Dasa)<br />15. Yogartha Dasa<br />16. Drekkana Dasa (Phalita Dasa)<br />17. Prakarantara Drekkana Dasa<br />18. Atmasa Bhavapamsa Dasa (Calculated in Navamsa Chart)<br /><br />As usual, he indicated the rules specific and distinct to each and every Dasa in addition to the general rules to be applied in all Phalita Rasi Dasas.<br /></p><br /><br /><p>Raghava Bhatta gave a very peculiar way of reckoning the Chara Dasa. His interpretation of Chara Dasa is based on Padakrama of Chara, Sthira and Ubhaya rasis. Again, the dasa years calculation is also different to all other and he gives a wonderful explanation of his interpretation. Scholars adpet in Vedantic literature, for that matter, six parts of Vedangas do appreciate his interpretation. </p><br /><br /><p><br />He indicates the Chara Paryaya, Sthira Paryaya, Trikona and Drik Dasas are Sampat dasas and be used in Rajayoga Horoscopes and the results of those four dasas are equal. Trikona dasa needs a mention here. Most of us don’t know why this is also called Gochara Dasa. This excellent work explains the Gochara in Jaimini way and its application in especially in Trikona Dasa. That’s the precise reason why it is called Gochara Dasa. If we understand the Trikona Dasa as exposed in this work, we understand what Gochara meant in Jaimini. We can learn the Paka and Bhoga Signs distinct to each and every Sampat dasa, and of course most important and least mentioned by contemporary Internet knowledge, Dasa Karakas.<br /><br />Next, He moves on to the Raja Yogas in Jaimini way, quoting the authority of various Vriddha Karika Verses supporting his interpretation of Upadesa Sutras of Jaimini.<br /><br />Most of the above mentioned dasas can be learnt from my Guru Sri Iranganti Rangacharya’s commentary “Jaimini Sutramritam”.<br /><br />The above list may not be very comprehensive, but this scribe tried his best to bring forth the various topics discussed in the work. This scribe feels fortunate and privileged to study the manuscript of this wonderful work. He tried his best to procure the manuscripts and fortunately he could get some of them, which has been put for download at the <a href="http://www.saptarishisastrology.com/">http://www.saptarishisastrology.com/</a> website. Of course, since the text is in Telugu script, people who could decipher the ancient writing of Telugu and understand Sanskrit could benefit from the manuscript.</p><br /><br /><p></p><br /><br /><p>Warm Regards,</p><br /><br /><p>Shanmukha</p>Shanmukhahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00314084747143204514noreply@blogger.com14
