If you are extremely new to astrology please read my book 'Astrology @ the speed of light' followed by Conjunctions and Aspects @ the speed of light.. You should have fair understanding of houses, signs, planets, nakshatras, aspects, conjunctions and transits. These concepts can be understood in less than a day by reading my book. If you have never seen your Vedic birth chart before then please go to my website www.astrologykrs.com. 5 6 What are Mahadashas? First, instead of me spelling the name "Mahadasha" in the entire book, I will simply refer to it as “MD”. It will make things easier on everyone. MDs are known as planetary time periods in Vedic Astrology which every single living entity is running through from the moment they are born until the moment they die. These are cycles of planets that come into our lives to bring about a change, whether it's a certain situation, our ego, personality, perspective in life or even material/spiritual progress. MDs are the code breakers to predicting the past, present and future. They tell you what has happened, what is to come and what will happen in the coming cycle. The first thing about MDs you need to know is that planets do not start effecting you through some magical powers. The MD cycle shows activation of a certain chakra within your body at a certain age which are linked to the planets. MD are also the karmic pattern put as a set path by looking at the degrees of your moon. The position of the moon at birth sets this automatic path for you to alk on. Of course activation of chakras will not make you holy or wise because 99% of our chakras are clogged with dirty from past life karms which needs to be clean in this life. When the cycle of a certain planet starts it first affects your mind. You become a different person from the inside out. You start to behave and think like the planet through which your actions are brought forth in the world. The calculative method given by Rishi Parashara is simply to show "light" upon the path for a jataka. 7 I am sure you all know a person who went through the same routine year after year, not changing anything; but then suddenly they became different, unique, weird or even cool. Most will blame it on age, or their birthday; but many do not know that this same person might have just started a new MD after perhaps decades. Each planetary MD has its own length of time. Each planet has a certain number of years that they will operate in a person's life. The chronological order of planetary MDs you see below occurs for everyone. Sun - 6 years Moon - 10 years Mars - 7 years Rahu - 18 years Jupiter - 16 years Saturn- 19 years Mercury - 17 years Ketu - 7 years Venus 20 - years No matter what happens, after the Sun time period an individual will run the Moon time period. After that they will run the Mars period, and then comes Rahu, and so on and so forth. You will never see a chart where a person runs through a 7 year time period of Mars and then starts Saturn, no. After Mars, there will always be a Rahu period. Do not forget this order which starts from Sun and ends with Venus. When an individual is running through their Sun time period they will act like the Sun. If someone is running through Rahu period they will act like Rahu. A certain planetary time period brings many things to the surface. Below are the things that the individual will deal with in each mahadasha. 8 Why this sequence though? Why does Venus come after Ketu, why does the Sun come after Venus and why does the Moon come before the Mars period? The actual sequence of dashas actually starts from 'Kritika' nakshatra; the fire of creation, the spiritual fire that gave life to this Universe. Krittika is the desire of God that wanted to created this physical existence. But we will stick to what is known as the Ketu starting period. Why does the first nakshatra start with Ashwini which is controlled by Ketu? That is why when the Moon is in this nakshatra the Ketu MD starts. Ketu is our past, what we have accumulated in past life is the experience we are now bringing into this life. Our past karmas are the reason why we now exist again on this plain. The way to determine which MD a person will start at the moment they are born is seen through the nakshatra that the moon is placed in. You must have basic knowledge of nakshatras to understand this part. These are 27 lunar mansions which are known as constellations in english. They are the group of stars working behind the scenes of a zodiac sign. Depending upon a certain nakshatra the native will start their life with a particular MD cycle. They can either start from the beginning, middle or end of a certain dasha. This part is determined by the Pada that the moon is placed in. Each nakshatra has 4 padas. If the moon is placed in Magha nakshatra at birth, the native will start their life with Ketu mahadasha running. But how long will that MD be? Perhaps that MD may only last for 1 year, or 3 years. For this look at the pada of the moon in the child's report. If the Moon is in the 4th pada the baby will start their life towards the end of Ketu dasha. If moon is in the 2nd pada then they will start from 1/4 of the way into the dasha. Each of the 27 nakshatras are ruled by a certain planet, this is how we know which planet the MD of a native will start from. 9 I will now show you the nakshatra name and the planet that rules it. 1. Ashwini - Ketu 2. Bharani - Venus 3. Krittika - Sun 4. Rohini - moon 5. Mirgshira - Mars 6. Ardra - Rahu 7. Punravasu - Jupiter 8. Pushya - Saturn 9. Ashlesha - Mercury 10. Magha - Ketu 11.

Revati - Mercury 10 How to judge the Impact of Dashas • The person will become more like the planet in its time period. • Whichever house the planet is the karaka of those houses will become active as well. • The house which the planet rules in the horoscope will become the focus of life and will become active. • The house in which the planet sits in will express the issues related to the house it rules. • The sign placement of the planet will show in which form the person will experience those things. • The nakshatra in which the planet sits in will give results of the placement of nakshatra lord. • Day vs. Night birth • Aspects of the planets become active 11 • The pada of the planets shows the time of major results. • Mahadashas can also be judged from alternative ascendants. • Planets in the nakshatra of the MD lord will also activate themselves. • Through the understanding of Varga Vimshopak of planets • Through the Dasha Pravesh concept • Through the Varshphal Chart 12 Details of bullet points • The person will become more like the planet in its time period. The person will become more like the planet simply means that the personality of the person will be taking on the astrological qualities of the planet. If a person is running through MD of Saturn, which is a 19 year time period, the person will become more serious, mature, wise, more of a workaholic, will feel old, may get grey hairs, and will start loving older, classical and antique things. If a person is going through the time period of Mercury, (17 years) then they will become more jolly, fun, communicative, desiring to have a social circle, perhaps will educate themselves or attain a higher education, take some certification course, or write a book. If Venus period is operating then the person wants to become creative, artistic, feminine, and experience more of the luxury and pleasures of life. They will be surrounded by more women than men. Even if a lawyer or doctor goes through the time period of Venus they will be inclined to take on creative activities, whether its painting or playing a piano. Jupiter period makes a person (sometimes) too optimistic, philosophical and a natural teacher, they feel hopeful, inspired and yearn to learn wisdom.
