margin: 8"> In
estimating the strength of this yoga, due

in respect of Mesha Lagna,

than the Sun and Saturn exchanging their houses. In the latter
circumstance whilst no
doubt Siva Yoga is caused by the Sun (lord
of the 5th) occupying the 10th (a house of Saturn)
and Saturn (lord of the 10th) occupying the 5th, both the
planets are such bitter enemies that the combination,
though on account of Parivarthana between
the 5th and 10th lords some kind of Yoga is
generated, is full of evil indications.
margin: 8"> In
other words, Siva Yoga, as far as this writer's study goes, is
not of much consequence in respect of Mesha Lagna
unless both the Sun and Saturn have acquired sufficient
Moolathrikonadi Bala |

Vishnu Yoga |
Definition.—
If
the lord of Navamsa in which the
9th
lord is placed, and the 10th lord joins the 2nd
house in conjunction with the 9th lord,
Vishnu Yoga is
caused.
Results.—The
person will lead an enjoyable life, lakhs,
will be strong, well-versed in discussions, witty in conversations, a worshipper of Vishnu,
praised by The
rulers and will live up to one hundred years free from
disease.
|
Remarks.
—All the results attributed to the
Yoga The
blessings of Vishnu Yoga. The Navamsa in which formation
of this yoga.
If
per chance such a lord of to
be the strongest planet, having
obtained the requisite quantity of shadbala, life. I know an instance of Vishnu Yoga operating powerfully
in the horoscope of a close associate of mine.
But unfortunately, the lord of the Amsa occupied by the 9th lord happened to be Saturn
and his shadbala strength was not much. Consequently, the Yoga
could operate with certain restrictions, the various
results happening on a moderate scale.
In all such cases, where big results
are attributed The
Yoga. The combination of the 9th and 10th lords Occurring in the 2nd, combined with the
Amsa lord, is indeed a powerful Dhana Yoga so that there is a blending
of Raja and Dhana Yogas. The combination least
three planets and hence not of very frequent Occurrence. |

Brahma Yoga |
Definition.—If Jupiter and Venus are in Kendras respectively
from the lords of the 9th and 11th, and Results.—The person will enjoy luxurious
foods, will be respected by Brahmins and learned men, will be
highly learned, long-lived, charitable and always bent on doing good deeds. |
/span>
margin: 8; background-position: 0%">Remarks.—The Yoga in question seems to
bestow highly
beneficial results implying that the native would command health, wealth, fame and above
all instincts
for serving others. It will be seen that in The
formation of this Yoga, all the natural
benefics are involved. Even here, the exact strength and significa tion
of the Yoga rests to a large extent upon a 9th
is Jupiter so that Jupiter's disposition in a
Kendra
from the 9th lord is entirely ruled out.
Similarly
when Cancer is the Lagna, two conditions of the yoga would be
absent as lords of the 9th and
llth respectively become Jupiter and Venus. not
be full, because in regard to Virgo. Mercury becomes
lord of the 10th while in regard to Sagit and
11th so that the disposition of Venus and Mercury respectively in kendras from the lords of the 11th and 10th is not
possible. So far as Dhanus is concerned,
in the place of the 10th lord, lord of Lagna
may be considered.
Therefore we may assume respect
of all the signs except Aries, Cancer and Virgo. However, it does
not seem erroneous to assume that even in respect of Aries, Cancer
and Virgo, this yoga
could be deemed to be present with a
slight modification. If, say, three factors are necessary to make up
a certain yoga, the presence of
even one or two cannot but suggest that the yoga does
operate, may be feeble.
|
|
64.Indra Yoga |
—If
the lords of the 5th and 11th interchange their houses and the Moon is in the 5th, Indra
Yoga is caused.
/span>
margin: 8; background-position: 0%"> Results.— Highly courageous, lasting fame, a King
of Kings, good enjoyments and living up to 36 years. |
margin: 8">
Remarks.
—Unless
the house of longevity is powerful, one has to assume that Indra Yoga does not
confer longevity. Professor Rao has offered very suggestive remarks on his Sata Yoga Manjari in
suggesting
that Christ, Shankara and Alexander are examples of short life but of lasting name and
1 would
refer the readers to these notes. Though classical writers have attributed highly
favourable results to this Yoga, I have my own doubts. |
|
65.Ravi Yoga |
Definitional
Sun
should join the 10th and the
lord of the 10th must be in the 3rd in conjunct ion with Saturn.
Results. —Respected
by rulers, well-versed in sciences,
becoming famous after the 15th year, highly passionate,
liking simple food, possessing lotus-like eyes and
well-developed chest. |
—Each
rule has an exception.
Whilst
Saturn's association with any favourable horoscopic element is not desirable, under this Yoga, the 10th lord
should occupy the third in conjunction with Saturn. In the course of his Dasa, Saturn, under such
a combination, would be capable of giving highly favourable results.
Ravi Yoga comprehends a point Of
contact between the Sun, Saturn, the 10th and 3rd houses. The Sun should occupy the
10th, while The
10th lord should be in the third with Saturn. For
Mesha, Vrishabha and Vrischika Lagnas, Ravi Yoga cannot at all be said to exist in its real sense.
For Dhanus, Makara, Simha and Kanya
Lagnas, Ravi
Yoga would be almost impossible because in these cases the 10th lord
happens to be either Mercury or Venus; when the Sun is in the 10th, Mercury Or
Venus cannot be in the 3rd from Lagna as it implies which
is astronomically impossible. In view of the Yoga
is indeed of rare occurrence. |

Garuda Yoga |
line-height: 13.2pt; margin: 8; Definition.—The
lord of Navamsa occupied by The
Moon should be exalted and birth should occur during daytime when the
Moon is waxing.
line-height: 13.9pt; margin: 8;
Results.—
Respected
by the pious, polished speech, feared by the enemies, strong and facing danger from
poison in the 34th year. |
margin: 8"> Remarks. —Importance
is given to the Moon. The
lord of the Moon's Navamsa should be exalted. The
Yoga cannot occur in regard to people born during night times or when the Moon is waning. Why the year is not at all clear. A lot of practical
experience must have guided the framers of this combination in coming
to the conclusions they have done. The danger should not be predicted when the house
of longevity
is strong enough. |

Go Yoga |
line-height: 13.2pt; margin: 8; Definition.—Strong
Jupiter should occupy his Moolathrikona with the lord of the 2nd house and The
lord of Lagna should be in exaltation.
line-height: 13.45pt; margin: 8;
Results.
—Hailing
from a respectable family, a
king
or an equal to him, wealthy and strong. |
margin: 8; Remarks.—Jupiter
is Dhanakaraka or indicator Of
wealth. He should occupy his Moolathrikona with The
lord of the 2nd and the ascendant lord must
Venus
and Saturn, respectively have, as their Moola- thrikonas, Leo, Taurus, Aries, Virgo, Sagittarius, Libra
and Aquarius. For Scorpio and Aquarius, since
the second happens to be owned by Jupiter, The
question of association with the second lord does
not arise.
margin: 8">Jupiter's
Moolathrikona being confined to the first
thirteen degrees of Sagittarius, Go Yoga can be present only in respect of those born when
Jupiter Occupies
his particular arc in the heavens. In other words, this yoga, unlike Gajakesari, Vasi or Vesi,
is subject to a law of periodicity, coming into
effect Only when
Jupiter occupies the constellation of
Moola |
|
68.Gola Yoga |
line-height: 13.2pt; margin: 8; Definition.— If
the Full Moon is in the 9th in conjunction with Jupiter and Venus,
and Mercury joins Navamsa Lagna,. Gola Yoga is produced.
line-height: 13.2pt; margin: 8; Results. —Polite,
learned, Magistrate or head of |
line-height: 13.2pt; margin: 8; —The
yoga can come into effect provided the Moon is full and not otherwise. Mercury must
occupy Navamsa Lagna. Such a Full Moon should
be in the 9th with Jupiter and Venus. In Other
words, even Gajakesari Yoga gets merged into Gola,
inasmuch as when Jupiter and the Moon are in
conjunction, they would be supposed to be in a
kendra
from each other. |
|
69.Thrilochana
Yoga |
margin: 8">Definition.— The
Sun, the Moon and Mars should be in trines from each other.
line-height: 14.65pt; margin: 8; Results.—Great
wealth, a terror to his enemies,
margin: 8">Remarks.—Irrespective
of the presence of any particular kind of Yoga, dispositions of planets in mutual trines is
always held to be highly favourable. One born in such a combination will have a
smooth career
and will not have to contend against unfavourable forces |

Kulavardhana Yoga |
line-height: 14.65pt; margin: 8; Definition. — All planets should be
in
the 5th
from
Lagna, the Sun and the Moon.
line-height: 11.5pt; margin: 8; Results.—Unbroken line of successors, wealthy, healthy
and long-lived. |
margin: 8"> Remarks. —As
the name implies, one born when the benefics are disposed in 5th
from Lagna, the Sun family traditions will be perpetuated by his children, grand-children
and so on in an unbroken fashion. The fifth house becomes the focal
point. The man will
also be capable of producing a large number of children. |

text-indent: 12; margin: 8; Personally, we are of opinion that all these
various
Akriti Yogas do not contribute much to the making of the horoscope. In fact they seem to give
rise
to clues as regards the means of livelihood one is likely to have. Thus, for instance, Ishu
Yoga, said to be caused by the seven planets occupying the 4th, 5th,
6th and 7th houses, is common in the horoscopes of persons, who may have anything to do with
prisons,
lock-ups, concentration camps, etc. Of course these deductions are based on our own
observations
and readers have to view them with due reserve.

margin: 8">Remarks.— The
above definitions are simple. The seven planets should occupy the
seven houses without a break from Lagna, 4th house, 7th and 10th
houses respectively to produce the four kinds of yogas. Apart from
the results ascribed by the classical writers, we may make a few
observations.
margin: 8">In
regard to Nav Yoga (75), all the planets will be in the invisible
sphere of the heavens. It seems to be generally productive of good
and to have a bearing on the native having to do with water, watery
places and aquatic substances.
margin: 8">In
regard to Kuta, when all the planets will be in the seven houses
from the fourth, it will be more Or
less an equal distribution of planets in the visible halves of the
zodiac. The native may frequent caves, mountains, etc., and he will
be addicted to evil habits. Robbers, drunkards, cheats and
others may have
this combination.
margin: 8">In
Chhatra Yoga, all the planets will be in the visible half and hence
may be deemed to be favourable. The native will be happy in the
beginning and end of his life. He will possess great strength of
mind and will earn much wealth.

be in the 10th and subsequent houses and one born in this yoga will

Remarks.
—The difference
between
Vajra and Yava Yogas is very thin. In the former, benefics will found
in the ascendant and the descendant, and malefics in the meridian and the nadir while in other, the Lagna
and the descendant must have malefics and the meridian
and the nadir should have benefics.
margin: 8">
Even in the production of
results the difference between the
two yogas is hardly worth
Vajra makes one
fair, brave and happy, the effects of Yava are restricted to a
particular period of life, viz., the
middle portion.
margin: 8"> If one makes a serious attempt to
study a number of horoscopes, he will not be slow in
appreciating one important truth, viz., Yoga is hardly conducive to the health and bodily happiness of the native
or his wife, for if malefics occupy
the Lagna and the 7th, their effects, unless counterbalanced by other horoscopic factors, such as more
powerful yogas or inherent strength, etc., would necessarily
converge on these two houses. These two yogas are not after all very
important, because often times
their influences become merged with those of Other
powerful yogas.

With due deference to
the sages who have attributed this result, I have the
stress laid on any one of the trines by virtue of a larger number of benefics being placed in it. Thus if The

if in the 5th, the middle part of life; and if in the 9th,
the last part. This is a simple observation carry

by
the great Varahamihira. In our humble experience, Akriti
Yogas by themselves cannot exercise any defi nite
influences
unless
the
horoscope has
gained strength otherwise.
With this-we complete the 21 Akriti
Yogas, co prising
the first of the 4 groups of Nabhasa Yoga: Yogas like Vajra and Yava which require the positions
of the planets exclusively in kendras do not seem Brihat Jataka simply adopting the views Of
Yavana and others and feels sceptical about their possibility
with the query 'How can Mercury and Venus
occupy the 4th sign (Bhavana) from the Sun ?' The possibility or
otherwise of Vajra, Yava and similar yogas which require
mutual angular dispositions Of
the Sun and Mercury and Venus depends upon whether these
yogas refer to the positions of planets in the Rasi Chakra Or
Bhava Chakra.
If
the former, A
s is clearly implied
by the letter Bhavana used by Mihira
which means a sign, then the Sun can never be
in a Kendra from Mercury or Venus. If on the Other
hand, the reference is to Bhava Chakra as some scholars contend, then Mercury can occupy a kendra
bhava from the Sun, which could be possible in
very high latitudes. Therefore the ancient writers have not erred if
the Vajra and Yava Yogas refer to the positions in the Bhava
Chakra.
