Planetary Yoga

श्रीनाथ śrī-nātha

= husband, protector, patron, owner, possessor

Shreenatha Yoga

श्रीपति śrī-pati

= prince, king, lord of fortune

Shreepati Yoga

two different types of श्रीनाथ

[option-1] śrī can also = elevated, respected ++ nātha can also = possessions, protections, patronage = one is institutionally commanding

[option-2] śrī = wife; nātha = husband = one is prosperous and well-protected

1. this specific Raja-Yoga raises the power to command via benefits to karma-sthana. It occurs only when the Mandator, uchcha-Budha ruler of 7-10, occupies bhava-10 along with dharma-pati Surya-Kanya. Predicts peak leadership ability via communication [Budha] and charisma

   ] Surya] .

2. this general sukha-yoga predicts material prosperity and the wisdom to enjoy it graciously. It occurs for any indriya-lagna, when the subha-graha Shukra + Budha + dharma-pati are all situated in their most beneficial locations.

नाथ nātha

• refuge , help
• a protector , patron , possessor , owner , lord
• possessed of occupied by , furnished with
• a husband

• श्रीनाथ śrī = respect, elevation, excellence

  नाथ nātha = planetary Lords.

• पति pati = planetary Lords

There are two completely different definitions of Shrinatha Yoga

option-2 = also called Shripati Yoga.

Both options identify beneficial placements of the planetary Lords [natha, pati] .

However, the difference = which Lords are being referenced.

• type-1 = Budha-Surya
• type-2 = Guru-Shukra

[type-1 = Budha-Surya]

called श्रीपति śrī-pati - or - श्रीनाथ śrī-nātha

Shreenatha or Shripathi

++ karma-pati

++ 10th-from-10th ruler yuvati-pati

++ wisely guided dharma-pati

= Shreenatha Raja Yoga signifies a mentally confident, capable leader

QUOTATION from B.V. Raman's 300 Important Combinations

Sreenatha Yoga # 31.

Shri Raman writes

[begin quote]

" Definition.-

1. If the exalted lord of the 7th occupies the 10th ,
2. and the lord of the 10th is with the 9th lord ,

Sreenatha Yoga is caused.

Results.-

• the native will have on his body the insignia of Vishnu, viz., the conch, the wheel, etc.
• be an agreeable speaker,
• godly,
• have a good wife and children
• and be loved by all.

[BVR] Remarks. -

Sreenatha Yoga may be said to be one of the important Raja Yogas inasmuch as a point of contact is established between the 7th, 9th and 10th houses.

It is held to give rise to power as well as wealth. The lord of the 7th should be invariably exalted in the 10th [Kamesware Karmagate Swatunge] the lord of which, in turn, must be with the 9th lord.

Obviously Sreenatha Yoga can occur only in respect of Sagittarius in which case Mercury, lord of the 7th, could remain exalted in the 10th.

For no other Lagna can the 7th lord remain exalted in the 10th.

Since the original writers have laid emphasis on the fact that the 7th lord should be in the 10th exalted, we have to conclude that the Yoga is a rare one and that it cannot arise with regard to any other sign of the zodiac than Sagittarius.

If the definition could be extended to mean that the exalted 7th lord could also aspect the 10th, then Cancer and Libra could be included. Whether such a departure is permissible, I cannot yet say as the materials at my disposal are too inadequate to admit of a definite opinion."

[end quote]

[type-1 = Raja Yoga - Budha-Surya ]

QUOTATION BPHS [Rao-Chowdury translation]

"Lord of 7th in exaltation in 10th

whilst lords of 9 and 10th are standing in one sign.

Kingly status and great material prosperity."

Phaladeepika says

"The person born in the Srinatha Yoga will be wealthy, resplendent and clever in speaking agreeably and in a humorous vein.

He will have [in his body) marks of God Narayana

[such as Sankha, chakra, etc.) He will be always reciting in company with the virtues the charming verses adorning the name of that God.

He feels very happy in showing reverence towards those that worship that God.

He will be endowed with a good wife and sons.

He will be loved by all and will be exceedingly amiable."

I believe I have a Sreenatha Yoga. I've searched and haven't found much on it. I was wondering it you could tell me anything about it? or knew someone who could. Also, how rare is this placement? have you ever found anyone with this placement before?

Your thoughts on this would be very much appreciated! Thank you so much!

Namaste,

There are two [quite different) Jyotisha yoga combinations which unfortunately have the same name "Shreenatha".

Each version is excellent, but one version gives raja-yoga of empowered executive command and wise guidance of father-figures, whereas the other grants pleasure-treasure and wisdom to live well.

In the classic use of the term Shreenatha yoga, as quoted in BPHS and by Shri Raman in 300 Important Combinations, the lord of 7 must be exalted in 10, while the dharma-pati occupies 10.

So, within karma-sthana will reside the dharma-pati Surya plus the yuvati-pati Budha signaling attorneys and advisers. It is a combination that predicts principled leadership in the social order, public respect, and high visibility.

• Other graha in the nativity may taint the reputation. However, Budha--and-Surya are in a peak position for effective corporate-institutional governance by communication and charisma.

BV Raman writes that this definition of Shreenatha yoga is only possible when Dhanus= indriya lagna

[bodily baseline] when uchha-Budha occupies Kanya-10 yuti dharma-pati Surya-Kanya-10.

If Uttarāṣāḍha nakshatra is also the lagna, results can be quite distinguished in regard to public roles particularly when detailed strategic planning is involved .

There is a second use of the term Shreenatha yoga which comes from a different tradition.

In this usage of the term Shreenatha, the yoga definition is requires that Shukra-and-Guru and the dharmapati ALL be in peak positions.

In this second usage

• Budha must be in svakshetra-or-uchha and occupy a kendra-or-trine
• Shukra must be in svakshetra-or-uchha and occupy a kendra-or-trine
• dharma-pati must be svakshetra-or-uchha and occupy a kendra-or-trine.

This combination is found among entertainers, literary figures, poets, certain types of preachers, et-cetera. ... they express a delightful mix of clear speech, philosophical intelligence, attractive face, and balanced conduct.

To which version do you refer?

wishing you every happiness,

Sincerely, BP Lama Jyotishavidya
