What is an
Upa-graha?
Upagraha are spatial positions indicating non-empirical points of psychic influence. Upa-Graha = detected by a process similar to the "discovery" of Pluto. The existence of a significant gravitational body-mass in the area was cosmologically predicted long before Pluto was actually "discovered" . It was predicted because Pluto's * effects * can be seen on other objects/fields in his region So it is with the upa-Graha. They are known by their effects.

UPAGRAHA In RETROGRADE * VAKRA QUOTATION from B.V. Raman , A Catechism of Astrology . p. 18 " Q. 19
Ans.
|
||
QUOTATION from B.V. Raman , Three Hundred Important Combinations. Planetary yoga involving Gulika 11. Vanchana Chora Bheethi Yoga " Definition. The Lagna is occupied by a malefic with Gulika in a trine: or Gulika is associated with the lords of Kendras and Thrikonas; or the Lord of Lagna is combined with Rahu, Saturn or Kethur. Results. the 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:
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." |
||
To understand the upa-graha, it helps to think in terms of particle physics. The science of infinitesimally small particles is highly developed.
Infinitesimally small particles like quarks are purely"speculative" in their ontological nature according to the limitations of positivistic science, which forbids the existence of phenomena that cannot be detected by the five basic human senses.
Naturally : ) super-natural beings = not bound by the earthly rules of time and space r. Invisible planets called UpaGraha = knowable and known not directly, but by their effects.
For now, upagraha are named "shadow planets" whose effects are known only by the shadows that they cast. |

The portions of Surya etc. up to Shani denote the periods of Gulika and others.
The seven portions are distributed to the seven Graha
Whichever portion is ruled by Shani, will be the portion of Gulika. Similarly make the night duration into eight equal parts
Here again,
These durations differently apply to different places (commensurate with variable day and night durations). |
|
70. Gulika's Position. |
The degree, ascending at the time of start of Gulika's portion (as above), will be the longitude of Gulika at a given place. Based on this longitude only, Gulika's effects for a particular nativity be estimated.

71-74. Calculation of Pranapada. |
Convert the given time into Vi-ghati and divide the same by 15.
In other Bhava, pranapada indicates an inauspicious birth. |

Gulika (maandi)
Similar in density to Rahu-Ketu, Gulika has no mass and is therefore undetectable with the material eye.
Hence its moniker 'manda' = 'slow', 'feeble', or 'weak' |

QUOTATION BPHS- Sarga-35 , Shloka-6 2-73 Effects of Non-Luminous Planets " Gulika is beneficial in the upachaya houses - 3rd, 6th, and 11th. In karma-bhava [10th] Gulika develops public religious behaviors, especially a visible devotion to tapasya (austerities)." |
||
Upagraha are spatial positions indicating non-empirical points of psychic influencer. Gulika, the agent of tardiness and delay, gives comfortable and pleasing results only in bhava-3, -6, -10, and -11 - , the upachaya natural domains of neutral Budha and neutral Shani (domains which improve with time.). In karma-bhava, Gulika slows down progress toward career recognition but Gulika there will not fully impede career results. In any other bhava, Gulika is somewhat inauspicious; but the outcome must be interpreted in context of the graha which control Gulika's bhava of residence. |
||
Gulika in lagna Traditionally asserted to be terribly malefic, yet in practice Gulika is just one of many indicators which must be balanced within the context of the entire nativity. There is no justification for superstitious fear of Gulika. One potential function of Gulika in lagna is to slightly delay the proper development of The earthen body .
Gulika in lagna is not a curse and it should not cause undue fear. This placement of Gulika implies a set of conditions evoking restriction and delay, posed as an extreme Shani-delay.
Gulika in lagna frequently signifies a great saint. |
||
Marana-karaka empowerments Traditionally, the lord of Gulika is considered a maraka. Lord of the point 180 degrees opposite of Gulika is also a maraka graha.
|
||
Dasha-timed Gulika effects Gulika's sluggish, retarding effects are most pronounced during the dasha period of Graha yuti Gulika . the native feels a tremendous frustration of being 'held back' against their will. They sense restraint by Shani-like forces of social rigidity or caste, depending on the domain occupied by Gulika.
|
||
If Shani yuti Gulika in lagna , the restraint may be nearly unbearable. Yet, the social or material constraints are so diffuse that one may have a great deal of polarizing catalysis getting control of the resistance factors . Dasha periods of Shani may be acutely difficult. Gulika in lagna (without Shani) = retarded recognition of the developed personality integrity. The appearance is unbalanced. The native appears dull-witted, thick or slow . Not a show-stopper in career or marriage, but a downward pull in self-approval which the native feels inwardly, and through diffused social feedback that one is not attractive. Gulika in bhava-2 = restraint through conservative forces within the family or slow process of accumulating provisions Gulika in 4 = either delayed access to formal education , or retarded social development due to very conservative, reactionary or fundamentalist educational practices. Gulika in 9 = delay in obtaining religious instruction , or inhibition through dogmatic, punitive, or conservative sacred doctrine Gulika in 11 = a useful location for this malefic. Indeed delays obtainment of gains and income. However, the eventual results of financial discipline induced by a long-term income constraint are in the end beneficial, and the native eventually sets forth to earn economic profits systematically, with very little waste. |

GULIKA
QUOTATION B.V. Raman, A Catechism of Astrology . p. 97 [4th edition, 1992] " Ancient writers have not attached much significance to Gulika. Reference to this is mostly to be found in Tamil books on astrology. Maandi or Gulika plays an important part in the determination of lagna (in doubtful cases), maraka planets and also in finding out the probable period of death. Gulika in different bhavas gives the following results:
The above is culled out from an ancient astrological work." |
