Unrevealed Usage of Karakas Via Chara Dasha an Original Observation by Roberto Velicaz, Italy Unrevealed Usage Of Karakas Via Chara Dasha An Original Observation By Roberto Velicaz, Italy. Editor: Muhammad Imran, Pakistan [Roberto is a young astrologer with a humble research oriented mind, his first maiden article deserves great applause and encouragement. Additional applause to M. Imran for being the Editor in piecing together this original research in a very lucid and presenting it in a classical style. Roberto remains indebted to K N Rao for revealing Late Vemuri Sastri’s Chara Dasha. The examples illustrated are not for the spoon fed astrologers. - SA] 1 hara Dasha is an important predictive technique in Jyotish. It is basically a sign- based Direction and usually ranked top among Phalit Dashas (periods of good-bad 2 3 fruits). Both Parashar and Jaimini maintained a fair amount of discussion about C Chara Dasha. Yet, controversies over its calculation and utility still exist. The first reason is the highly terse and complex formation of ancient Jyotish texts and the second reason is dozens of their commentaries and annotations. On the other hand, modern living authorities on Jaimini Phalit Dashas, have abstained to decode the codes of Chara Karakas and Chara Dasha (at least in their published stuff). That is why, choosing a flawless path has really become hard for today’s Jyotish learner. This writ-up intends to highlight an untold aspect of timing adverse events through Chara Dasha. According to scribe, there is a direct relation between occurring of adverse event and the running Chara Dasha having Gnathikaraka (GK) in 1st or 6th there from. The particular area of life should scrutinize from relevant divisional chart (Varga Chakra). Before properly establishing the mentioned above thesis, let’s first understand the Gnathikaraka (GK) and Varga Chakra. There are many types of Karaka (signifying planet or indicator) in Jyotish. Among them Chara Karaka is a special scheme of planetary arrangement with respect to their celestial longitudes in zodiacal sign. But there are three main schools of thought about total number of Chara Karakas. First propounds that there should be 7 Chara Karaka (from Sun to Saturn, 1 Chara is often pronounced as ‘Char’. In Sanskrit, चर means dynamic, moving, mutable, living, passage, agent, and herald. 2 Brihat Parashar Hora Shastar: Santhanam Translation, Chapter 46, verse 158-166, and Chapter 50, verse 1-97. Whereas, in G.C. Sharma’s translation, Chara Dasha computation is given in Chapter 48 and its results in Chapter 52. 3 Maharishi Jaimni Sutram: Quarter III and Quarter IV of Chapter 2. and Rahu should never be used). Second school teaches that Chara Karaka can be 7 or 8 depending upon the longitudes of planets. Whereas third cult believes on 8 Chara Karaka 4 and emphasizes to always include Rahu. Following the teachings of B.V. Raman and K.N. 5 Rao , scribe simply considers the 7-planet Chara Karaka scheme. They are as follows: 1) AtmaKaraka (AK) means: indicator of soul 2) AmatyaKaraka (AmK) means: indicator of minister 3) BhratruKaraka (BK) means: indicator of brother 4) MatruKaraka (MK) means: indicator of mother 5) PutraKaraka (PK) means: indicator of son 6) GnathiKaraka (GK) means: indicator of paternal cousin 7) DaraKaraka (DK) means: indicator of spouse These 7 labels of planets do not compel us to assume just 7 people or 7 areas of life. About the utility and significations of Chara Karaka, this is a widely prevailed misunderstanding, and it should be addressed. That is, whether a Chara Karaka only signifies the matter it is named after, or it can also indicate other relevant areas of life. Historically speaking, every ancient and medieval Jyotish text (in its preliminary chapter) entitles certain name to houses as well as planets. Say, First House as Tanu Bhava, Second House as Dhan Bhava and so on. But the name or title of Tanu Bhava does not imply that First House merely rules over body of native, and Dhan Bhava only indicates wealth. Obviously dozens of other significations also fall under jurisdiction of Tanu Bhava, for instant; appearance, knowledge, colour, nature, strength, comfort and discomfort. Similarly Second House deals with various matters, say assets, means of getting wealth, place of securing money, grains, food, joint-family, learning abilities etc. Thus, despite many significations, Jyotish authorities labelled First House as Tanu Bhava or Lagna Bhava. Same is the case with planets as well. Following this logic behind naming, AtmaKaraka (AK) should not assume to only rule Soul, and AmatyaKaraka (AmK) should not consider to just rule Minister or Ministerial Position. 4 Studies in Jaimini Astrology by B.V. Raman, Motilal Banarsidas Publications. 5 Predicting through Jaimini’s Chara Dasha by K.N. Rao, Vani Publications. Let’s come to the subject of this article, i.e. Gnathikaraka (GK). In Sanskrit, Gnathi6 simply means paternal cousin. But as explained in above paragraph, this label or title does not entail that GK only signifies cousins. In fact, GK simultaneously shows other significations of 6th house from ascendant. Why 6th house? Because, counting downward from Atmakaraka, Gnathikaraka (GK) comes at number six. If all the 7 Chara Karakas should arrange with respect to decreasing longitude then they are amazingly analogous to significations of First House to Seventh House. Thus Gnathikaraka shows other indications of 6th house, including; enemy, rival, accident, illness, dispute, mishap, litigation etc. Basic Rules First Step a) First look at the rashi chart (D1 - natal chart) and check to see if Atmakaraka (AK) is situated in the 6th, 8th or 12th house from the running antardasha. Atmakaraka (AK) represents the 1st house and its significations, the individual concerned. b) Check next to see if Gnathikaraka (GK) is situated in the 6th or 8th house from the antardasha running in rashi chart (D1 – natal chart). Also check if GK is in the 1st house from antardasha or aspects the 1st house of the antardasha. Second Step If any of the two conditions (a) or (b) mentioned in the first step are met, we next check the divisional charts. We look at each individual divisional chart to see if Gnathikaraka (GK) is in the 1st or 6th house from antardasha running, or GK is in the house from the antardahsa which represents that particular divisional chart. Third Step If step two is also met we can identify a particular area of life that may present difficulties to the person e.g.; D9 Marriage, D10 Career, D12 parents etc. 6 Gnathi is also spelled as Jnaati or Gnati. Some modern translators explain Gnathi as community, kith and kin, and cousins. But B.S. Rao in his commentary of Sri Sarwartha Chintamani (vol.2, page 644-645) maintains that Gnathi in Sanskrit refers only to paternal side and never to first or remote cousins on the maternal side. J.N. Bhasin translates the Gnathi as people of one’s community. In either case, 6th house signifies Gnathisthana in horoscope. 7 As far as divisional charts (Varga Chakras) are concerned, Parashar’s teaching and computational criterion are followed in this article. Varga Notation Main Signification From Chara Dasha/Antar, Houses to look for GK Drekkan D3 Sibling 1st, 3rd, 11th, and 6th Chaturthamsa D4 Landed Property 1st, 4th, and 6th Saptamsa D7 Children 1st, 5th, and 6th Navamsa D9 Spouse 1st, 7th, and 6th Dasamsa D10 Career 1st, 10th, and 6th Dwadasamsa D12 Parents 1st, 4th, 9th, and 6th Shodashamsa D16 Vehicles 1st, 4th, and 6th Illustrations Given are some examples using horoscopes of famous people to aid the readers understanding. Chart 1: Rajiv Gandhi 7 A divisional chart, say D3 or D9, can be erected in various ways and used for various purposes, and so as for other Vargas. But for the sake of ease, area of life given in BPHS’ chapter 7 on Divisional Charts i.e. Shodasvarga Adhyayah is followed. This understanding is widely accepted and practiced. Former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi lost his younger brother Sanjay Gandhi in an air accident. This mishap in Rajiv’s life occurred on June 23, 1980. As per Chara Dasha, Rajiv was going through sub period of Capricorn-Leo. The D1 (rashi chart), antardasha rashi Leo has GK Sun. AK Mercury and GK Sun are in Leo, being – the antardasha rashi – it is 8th from dasha rashi Capricorn. Looking in D3 (drekken), GK Sun is in antardasha rashi Leo. 8 Chart 2: Richard Nixon 8 His Time of Birth as per ADB is 21:35 with a AA Lois Roddens Ratings, source ‘T. Pat Davis in MH 4/1977 quotes a photo reproduction of the B.C.’ On November 8 1960, American Republican candidate Richard Nixon lost election to John F. Kennedy. The sub period of Aquarius-Virgo was active in the nativity of Richard Nixon. From Sagittarius, the Gnathikaraka Mars casts rashi drishti to antardasha Virgo. In D10 (dasamsa), GK Mars is in the 6th house from Virgo antardasha. Chart 3: John F Kennedy, Sr On August 12 1944, Joseph Kennedy, elder brother of John F. Kennedy, died. The antardasha 9 of Capricorn-Aquarius was running. GK Saturn occupies in 6th house from antardasha rashi 10 Aquarius. In the D3 (drekkana) GK Saturn is again in 6th house from Aquarius antardasha. On May 13 1948, Kathleen Kennedy, younger sister of John F. Kennedy dies. Pisces-Taurus was running in the chart of John F. Kennedy. In D1 (rashi chart), antardasha Taurus has AK Mercury in 12th house from antardasha. In the D3 (drekkana) GK Saturn is in the 3rd house from Taurus antardasha. Chart 4: Jacqueline Kennedy 9 Note in Rasi chart GK Saturn is in the 11H of elder brothers. - SA 10 Note GK Saturn is in the 3H offering a good clue that something to do with brothers will happen in the life of brother, one would debate that 3H is younger brother but the event was of elder brother but one would note that in classics 3H has also been given as signification for siblings in general which means all siblings elder or younger.

Sri Srimad A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in March, 1971. He lived in India for 6 years till 1983, studying Jyotish and has received certificate of commendation for spreading Hindu astrology in the USA, from the Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan, in 1999. Web site: http://www.robertkoch.com n the first Canto of the great Vedic Purana Srimad Bhagavatam, there is a very interesting and instructional conversation that took place between a bull personifying I Dharma, or religion, and Bhumi, the mother earth in the form of a cow. The bull was standing on one leg, suggesting that that one out of four pillars of religious principles (represented by each leg of Dharma, the bull) was still existing, and that in itself was faltering with the progress of Kali-yuga. The four legs of the Dharma are truthfulness, cleanliness, mercy, and austerity. If most or all of these legs of Dharma are broken, or if 3 out of 4 Dharmic principles exist very rarely, in human society, then we can be confident that Kali-yuga – the age of quarrel and darkness – is well upon us. Given that there are some rare souls existing who speak and live the Supreme Absolute Truth, as is found in various Vedic literatures, the remaining leg of truthfulness still exists. Such persons are characterized by complete self-control, or the ability to detach themselves from the relative world of the senses and the objects of sense pleasure.

  • What Planet Did You Come From? the Atmakaraka, Or Your
    What Planet Did You Come From? The Atmakaraka, Your or “Soul” Planet I was watching the TV show, Deception, and noticed that the main character, Joanna Locasto, the undercover cop who was investigating the murder of her best friend, had a luminous, soft, and somewhat round face. Her eyes are large and looked like she was lit , from within her whole being seems to shine. The thought occurred to me that the she looked like MOON. The actor, Meagan Good, plays a cop on the show, so I ed expect that Mars would be prominent in her birth chart too as Mars rules the police. Most actors play themselves in some way or another in most of their roles. Not consciously, of course, but because the universe has innate an order that we all follow whether we know it or not. I found h er birth chart data through Astrotheme.com. I cast her chart and expected to see that Atmakaraka, her soul or “essence” planet is the Moon. Sure enough, there it is, the planet at the highest degree (not counting Pluto, Uranus, or Neptune), is the Moon. Furthermore, it’s in the sign of Scorpio, one of the signs ruled by Mars, AND, aspected by ! Mars In fact, she has a Moon/Mars mutual reception, meaning that the Moon is in a Mars sign and Mars is in the Moon’s Sun sign. She has the in the ascendant (the box with the diagonal line through it) and probably adds to her “shine.” Meagan Good birth chart 8/8/1981 06:00:00 Panorama City, CA Lagna: 12 Leo 58 Mars rules Aries and Scorpio; Aries is the masculine, and Scorpio is the feminine version.

  • Uttarakalamritam by Kalidasa
    Uttara Kalamritam by Kalidasa Edited by Chistabo, May 2012 Uttarakalamritam by Kalidasa As per English translation by Panditabushana V. Subrahmanya Sastri B.A. 1 Uttara Kalamritam by Kalidasa Edited by Chistabo, May 2012 INTRODUCTION Present is one more addition to existing literature, pertaining to great and celestial science of Astrology. Many ordinary incidents in life, which we pass by and notice not, as well as phenomena of nature, are easily explained with reference to Astrology. There have been indications of it in works which I have previously translated, viz. Brihat Jataka, Jatakaparijata, Sripati Paddhati and Phaladeepika, works by giants of Astrology. As an instance of influence of phenomena of nature on human life, reference may be made to rainbow caused by refraction of Surya’s rays through a watery prism, consisting of particles of rain water. Rainbow is produced on a morning or on an evening, i.e. when Surya is at Lagna or Astha Lagna. Then, when Surya is at Lagna (rising Rasi or Ascendant), seventh Rasi is encircled by beautiful circles of seven variegated colors on a watery plane. Even so, rising Rasi is encircled by circles of like nature, when Surya is posited in 7th Rasi. Lagna represents native, while seventh Rasi denotes partner of native. Life of native will be happy, cordial and jovial if there be a sympathetic, loving and understanding support from partner. Seven colors of rainbow represent seven Grahas, who by various combinations produce seven kinds of energy or seven modes of motion that are found common in Universe. Uttarakalamritam, which is here translated, discloses a treasure house of knowledge on Astrology, so far unrevealed.

The Hindu science of study of these planets is called the Vedic Astrology. Classical Vedic astrology uses the seven visible planets Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn, along with the two lunar nodes, the north and south nodes, Rahu and Ketu. The Hindu astrology is based on an elaborate calculation of the positions of these planets at the time of one's birth. For example, the zodiac is divided in to twelve zones ('houses' of 30 degrees each). The planet Sun travels in to one of these houses each month. Similarly, the other planets have their times of travel through the zodiac assigned to them. As the planets travel through these zodiac signs, their relative positions with respect to each other changes and is supposed to determine the fate of the human affairs. An astrologer can draw up a horoscope of a person based on his time of birth and calculate the relative positions of the planets relative to this horoscope.

  • The Significance Karakas in Jaimini Astrology
    THE SIGNIFICANCE KARAKAS IN JAIMINI ASTROLOGY THE SIGNIFICANCE OF KARAKAS IN JAIMINI ASTROLOGY There are difference of opinion among scholars while considering the Chara Karakas to be taken in Jaimini astrology. 1. Pandit Sanjay Rath considers 8 karakas, including Rahu. According to him, in his Jaimini Upadesa Sutras, he has given Rahu also a place as Atma Karak. 2. On the other hand, Dr. K.N. Rao and his followers have taken the 7 planets (excluding Rahu) as Karakas and maintain that Rahu cannot be given the status of Atma Karak. 3. Dr. K.N. Rao has omitted Pitri karak. Instead, he says in “My Seven Step Approach: “What about a karaka for father? The problem is easily solved if you use Bhatrikaraka and Sun for father and Bhatrikaraka and Mars for siblings as has been as shown in some books on Jaimini. Here we must remember that sthirakarakas must always be considered in Jaimini astrology.” 4. Gary Gomes states in “The Structure of Jamini Astrology” as follows: “These karakas are of extreme importance in judging a chart, especially in terms of career potential and, especially, for judging spiritual potential, as indicated in both the Brihat Parasara Hora Sastra and the Jaimini Sutram. There are karakas in Parasara astrology, but these are based on certain natural karakas of the planets. For example, Venus is the natural karaka for marriage and Mars is the karaka for brothers. However, in Jaimini astrology, the karakas can be any of the planets. (I choose to follow Mr. Rao in choosing to exclude the North and South Lunar Node — Rahu and Ketu — as Jaimini karakas for most purposes.

  • Jyotish Vidya ( Sage Parasara ) Chapter 1. the Creation 1-4
    1 Jyotish vidya ( sage Parasara ) Chapter 1. The Creation 1-4. Offering his obeisance to all-knowing sage Parasara and with folded hands, Maitreya said, "O Venerable, Astrology, the supreme limb of the Vedas, has three divisions, viz. Hora, Ganita and Samhita. Among the said three divisions, Hora or genethliac part of astrology is still more excellent. I desire to know of its glorious aspects from you. Be pleased to tell me, "How this Universe is created? How does it end? What is the relationship of the animals born on this earth with the heavenly bodies? Please speak elaborately". 5-8. Parasara answered, O Brahmin, your query (so to say, the desire to know of the intricacies of astrology) has an auspicious purpose in it for the welfare of the Universe. Praying Lord Brahma and Sri Saraswati, His power (and consort), and the Sun God, the leader of the planets and the cause of Creation. I shall proceed to narrate to you the Science of Astrologfy as heard through Lord Brahma. Only good will follow the teaching of this science to the students who are peacefully disposed, who honour the preceptors (and elders), who speak only truth and who are God-fearing. Woeful for ever doubtlessly will it be to impart knowledge of this science to an unwilling student, to a heterodox, and to a crafty person. 9-12. Sri Vishnu who is the lord (of all matters), who has undefiled spirit, who is endowed with the three Gunas although he transcends the grip of Gunas (i.e. Gunatita), who is the Author of this Universe, who is glorious, who is the Cause and who is endowed with valor has no beginning.

  • Predicting with Transits by Ernst Wilhelm
    Predicting with Transits By Ernst Wilhelm www.astrology-videos.com Thanks to computers, which an easily calculate transits, transits are an effective and simple method for making predictions. This was not so in ancient times when calculating transits was cumbersome work. In order to make accurate and specific predictions, however, both standard planetary aspects and Rasi aspects have to be used and these both have to be used in conjunction with the Vargas. Activation Points Predicting with transits is based upon determining when certain points become activated by transiting planets. When these points are activated, an event happens.
