B.V. Raman's "Remarks"
regarding the Yoga |
|
1.
Gaja-kesari
Yoga |
Definition. :
If
Jupiter
is in a kendra from the Moon the combination goes under the name Gaja kesari.
Results.
Many relations , polite and generous, builder
of villages and towns or magistrate over them ;
will have a lasting
reputation even long after death.
|
Here as well as elsewhere, great difference
in the enjoyment of results should be pronounced.
The
original writers say that the person born in this yoga
will build villages and towns. A literal
interpretation of the results leads one nowhere. they have to
be adapted to suit modern conditions and
climes.
One born in this yoga may become a member of Municipality
and engineer or if the yoga is
really powerful, a mayor.
The results ascribed to a yoga
are subject to qualification or modification according as the
yoga-karakas are strong or weak.
The
re
are magistrates from the village to the district with
different powers. From a builder of a small
shrine
or choultry to the builder of a large and rich temple there is much
difference.
Combinations are given
but the results of the same conjunction will vary with the strength of the planets, bhavas and the constellations. |
|
2.
Sunapha Yoga |
Definition. : If
there are planets (excepting the Sun) in
the second house from the
Moon, Sunapha is
caused.
Results. Self-earned property, king, ruler or
his equal,
intelligent, wealthy and good reputation. |
The Moon plays a very large part
as well in the following two yogas.
The house
must be occupied by planets excepting y,
Jupiter, Venus and Saturn either singly or lively (?).
Again the nature of the yoga depends to
a large extent upon the nature of the lord or lords Occupying the second.
Thus take Taurus as the
Moon's
Rashi and Mercury, Jupiter and Venus being placed in Gemini. This is a powerful Sunapha
Yoga capable of
giving rise to much wealth.
The intensity '
the yoga will be heightened if Lagna happens to be
Leo as in this case the yoga will have reference to the 10th and 11th houses.
As usual the results will find
expression in the Dasas and Bhukthis of the planets
responsible for causing the yoga. |
|
3. Anapha
Yog a |
Definition.
: If
there are
planets in the 12th from
the
Moon
Anapha Yoga is formed.
Results : :
Well-formed
organs, majestic appearance, good reputation, polite,
generous, self-respect, fond of dress and sense Pleasures.
In the
later life, renunciation and austerity.
|
In Anapha also the Sun is not taken
into account. The remarks made for Sunapha apply
|
|
4. Dhurdhura Yoga
|
Definition. If
there are
planets on either side of the
Moon,
the combination goes under the name of
Dhurdhura.
Results. : The
native is bountiful.
He will be blessed with much wealth and conveyances.
-
There are
31
varieties of Sunapha,
-
and an
equal of
Anapha combinations
;
-
and there
are something like 180 varieties of Dhurdhura.
For
details refer to
the English ranslation of
Jathaka by Prof. B. Suryanarain Rao. |
Whatever
may be the results ascribed to
different yogas, one important truth emerges, that is,
The
person gets money, power, fame
reputation
Of varying gradations.
this, of course, does not
apply
to strictly Pari-vraja Yogas.
- Many varieties of
Sunapha, Anapha and Dhurdhura are formed by permutations
and combinations of the five planets and their results should be particularly noted.
- If Mars is in the 2nd
and Mercury is in the 12th a
kind of Dhurdhura is formed.
- Similarly Mars in the 12th and
Mercury in the 2nd gives rise to another kind;
- And Jupiter in
the 2nd and Mercury in the 12th gives rise to yet another type
though all these go under the name
of Dhurdhura.
- Each
conjunction in these permutations
produce different results.
-
- And Jupiter in the 12th in Scorpio in
a friendly sign.
- Now
take Jupiter in the 2nd and Mars in the 12th (in his own house),
results
in both cases be the same?
All situations
must be carefully analysed.
|
|
5. Kemadruma Yoga |
Definition. :
: When
there are
no planets on both
sides
of the Moon,
Kemadruma Yoga is formed.
Results. :
: The
person will be dirty, sorrowful, doing unrighteous deeds, poor,
dependent, a rogue and a swindler. |
Some authors say that if planets are in
a kendra from birth or from the Moon or if the Moon
is in conjunction with a planet there is no Kemadruma.
There are yet other authors who say that
these yogas arise from kendras and navamshas but
these observations are not generally acceptable.
Varahamihira adds
emphasis by saying that when persons born in royal families are
subjected to such degradations much more of these unfortunate
results must be predicted
than in the case of persons born in
ordinary families.
Sorrows mean physical as well as
mental.
The word neechcha is used in the original and this refers to
such acts
as are prohibited by the religious,
moral and social codes and are therefore held
to be disgraceful. |
|
6.
Chandra-Mangala Yoga |
Definition.
:
If
Mars conjoins the Moon this yoga is formed.
Results.
Earnings through
unscrupulous means, a seller of women,
|
Remarks.
: The
results given above ascribed
by ancient writers. With due respect to the ancient masters in the science I have to
observe that
-
Chandra Mangala Yoga acts as a powerful factor in establishing
one's financial worth.
The earnings will generally be through such occupations as toddy
con tract, One has to cater to the
baser
needs of men,
but when the Moon and Mars are
well disposed, the earnings will
be through other approved means.
The
yoga is said
to arise by the association of Mars and the Moon but I feel that the yoga will also be
formed if the
Moon and Mars are
in mutual aspect.
Mars in Scorpio. take the Moon in Cancer and Mars in Capricorn.
these are excellent positions.
The
combination can be productive of good if it occurs in the 2nd, 9th, 10th or 11th house. |
|
7.
Adhi Yoga
|
Definition.
If
benefics are situated in the 6th, 7th and 8th from the Moon,
The
combination goes under
the name of Adhi Yoga.
Results.
he person will be polite
and trustworthy,
will have an enjoyable and happy life, surrounded
by luxuries and affluence,
will inflict defeats
on his enemies, will be healthy and will live long. |
Remarks.
A
dhi Yoga is one of the
most important
combinations.
Astrological
authorities classify this Adhi Yoga as Papa-adhi Yoga and Shubha-adhi Yoga. But Varahamihira and that section of astrologers
do not seem to favour such a classification.
Bhattotpala,
the
erudite commentator of the writings of Varaha
mihira suggests the
existence of Papadhi Yoga. Varahamihira
distinctly observes Soumyehi : implying
clearly only the
benefics, viz., Mercury, Jupiter
and Venus.
All these benefics may be in the 6th, 7th or
8th
or in two houses or all of them may be in any
one of
these houses.
- If
there is one planet in full strength in any one of these signs, that
person be
comes a leader.
- If there are two, he will be a minister
and
if there are three, he
will occupy an eminent
station in life.
- If
all the three benefics, devoid
of strength, are in the three signs above mentioned, then
also Adhi Yoga will be present but the influence it
exerts would indeed be feeble.
A
dhi Yoga may be
considered
as a Raja Yoga or almost its equivalent.

8. Chatussagara
Yoga |
Definition. : Chatussagara
Yoga is caused when all
the kendras are occupied by planets.
Results.
he
person will earn good reputation, be an equal to a ruler,
have a long and prosperous life,
be blessed with good children and health
A
nd his name will travel to the confines of the four oceans. |
Remarks. : According
to the dictum Kendras-
planets disposed in kendras add great
strength to the horoscope. The four angles in |
|
9.
Vasumathi Yoga |
Definition.
:
If
benefics occupy the upa-chayas (3, 6, 10 and 11) either from the ascendant or from The
Moon, the combination goes under the name of Vasumathi Yoga.
Results.
:
he person will not be a dependent but
will always command plenty of wealth. |
Remarks. : Vasumathi
Yoga has more to do with wealth than with anything else.
The Vasumathi re sulting
from the Lagna seems to have more influence than the one formed with reference to the
Moon.
By implication it also means that two benefics will give less
wealth while only one benefic will give ordinary wealth.
If
the upachayas happen to be exaltation
places, the yoga becomes extremely powerful
while the
reverse holds good in case the upachayas happen to be debilitation places.
When counted from the Moon all the four upachayas cannot be occupied because
there will be only three benefics left.
The authorities are silent on the matter and they simply
say
that the upachayas should be occupied.
Varaha mihira seems to go so far as to assert that
predictions made according to ordinary combinations may some times
fail but the results predicted by Vasumathi Yoga
do not fail.
In all such planetary combinations, one must be
very
careful in assessing the
real strength
of a yoga and see if its results have already been comprehended by some other more
powerful yogas.
It will be seen that
purely Vasumathi Yogas are rare occurrence. You
will find very few examples
in which benefics are in all the upachayas.
Even when benefics are in upachayas,
they will be found to be associated with or aspected by
malefics dispositions . |
|
10.
Rajalakshana Yoga |
Results.
The native
will possess an
attractive appearance
A
nd he will be endowed with all the good
qualities of high personages. |
Remarks. : The weak Moon or badly associated
Mercury
cannot make a person possess a beautiful appearance.
However, the yoga seems to contribute Adrishta
or luck in such a way that the person can command
respect, dignity and regard.
One need not necessarily
be a king to inherit all the virtues, for all kings are not virtuous.
Personalities
or strokes of luck which
many will not have and which many covet. |
|
11.
Vanchana
Chora Bheethi Yoga |
Definition:
The
Lagna is occupied by a malefic with
Gulika in a trine:
or Gulika is associated with
or the lord of Lagna is combined with
Rahu, Saturn or Kethu.
Results.
:
he
native will always entertain feelings of suspicion towards others around him.
He is
afraid Of being cheated, swindled and robbed. |
Here
three sets of combinations can apply:
-
ascendant must have an evil planet with
Gulika disposed in the 5th or 9th.
-
Gulika should be associated with the lords of 1, 4, 7,
10, 5 and 9.
-
Lord of Lagna
should join Rahu or Saturn or Kethu.
In all these cases,
the person will not only have
fea rs
from cheats, rogues and thieves but he will also have huge material losses.
The
combinations pertain ing
to this Yoga are found in almost all horoscopes, so that we are all guilty of cheating
and being cheated
one another in some form or the other.
It is a tragedy of our social life that a
merchant minting millions at the cost of the poor is left scot-free while the
poor, committing theft in the face of poverty and want, are booked by law. Cheating is practiced
in a variety of ways. Fertile brains find countless methods to
cheat their associates. The merchants have various ways of cheating their clients. The lawyer is
equally successful.
The medical man commands many ways to defraud his patients.
Gulika is considered the son of Saturn
and his position is to be carefully fixed in the Zodiac. The Yoga
given above refers to persons who will be the
victims of fraud but the same combination can also be
extended to apply to those who perpetrate the deeds. |
|
12.
Sakata Yoga |
Definition.
The
Moon in the 12th, 6th or 8th from Jupiter gives rise to Sakata Yoga.
Results. :
The native
loses fortune and may re gain it.
He
will be ordinary and insignificant.
He will suffer from poverty,
privation and misery.
He will be stubborn and hated by relatives.
|
While the generality of astrological
is
that Sakata Yoga is productive of evil there is difference of
opinion as regards the of
this Yoga.
The
great Parasara and
Varahamihira say that when all the planets are in
1st and 7th, Sakata is caused.
Prof.
Rao opines this definition leaves room for doubt as to why it should
be the 7th.
On the contrary, the definition above appears more reasonable inasmuch as Yoga
is generated by the Moon occupying the three dushthamshas from the greatest benefic Jupiter thus
obstructing the free flow of fortune; but it is also open to objection as will be seen from
the following observations :
In the large number of horoscopes examined by
me
I have been able to mark that Sakata Yoga has not
really made the natives poor and wretched but often the
degree of poverty and wretchedness has been
nominal.
I have a work entitled Sukranadi which says that one
born in Sakata will have his fortune
obstructed now and then.
The
exact words used
are "Sakatayogajatasya Yogobhangam Pade- pade".
In other words, every time the Moon tran sits the 6th, 8th and 12th from the radical Jupiter, the
effects of Sakata are realised.
According to the definition given above,
Sakata is
caused by the Moon being placed in the 6th or 8th or
12th from Jupiter.
When one planet is in the 8th from the other,
naturally the other will be in the 6th. |
|
13.
Amala Yoga |
Definition
:
The
10th from the Moon or Lagna
should be occupied by a benefic planet.
Results. :
The
person will achieve lasting fame and
reputation.
His character will be spotless
and he will lead a prosperous life. |
Remarks. As
in interpreting every combination, due consideration should be given to the strength of the
lord causing the Amala And the aspects and associations he
receives.
Some
benefic planets must occupy
the 10th from Lagna or
the Moon to cause Amala. If no benefic is
present, then Amala is not caused.
But yet on the strength of the dictum "Udayat Indutovapi Yegrahadasamasthithaha Te sarve
artha- pradagneya
swa dasasu
yatoditha" which
means that any planet in the 10th from Lagna or Chandra
would give, during his Dasa, much
wealth , a malefic also
is not ruled out.
A
mala
means pure and when the
Yoga is present, prosperity and affluence will be achieved through fair means while a malefic,
whilst giving wealth, may make the means questionable.
A
fter
all, the end
justifies the means according to some
and, therefore, Amala makes one scrupulous as to the means he employs for earning while a malefic
in the 10th while no doubt good in its own way, as causing wealth to come, would not make one famous
or a man of character. |
