Did you see the Jagannātha Ratha Yātrā? I was feeling as if I was in Purī. The thing about that Ratha Yātrā is Jagannātha comes out and Jagannātha mūrti is wooden mūrti, and changes body every 12 years, behind him is a śāligrāma, a big one. It is like a green coconut. That is changed by a Brāhmin every 12 years. Now it’s your turn, you have to do it. This will come in the dream of only one of the Brāhmins there. It has never happened in so many centuries that multiple Brāhmins got the dream. The Brāhmin that will change that, will die in one year. It is believed that he gets Mokṣa. Because his job is to take the ātma of the śāligrāma and put it in another one.
Student: Prāṇa Pratiṣṭhā.
Guruji: Yes, Prāṇa Pratiṣṭhā. His eyes are tied by a cloth, and then he is taken near the mūrti, then he changes that. There is something, it is about Ārūḍhas. We are stuck with Ārūḍhas. When we get out of the Ārūḍhas, then only we can realize the truth. Ārūḍhas hide the truth. There is nothing good or bad, it’s all about Ārūḍha. Even the land we live on was a forest once upon a time. This is all the play of Māyā.
Today was supposed to be a session of questions and answers.
Student: Earlier you taught that Ārūḍha does not have a relevance in higher divisional charts. Now you are saying that Ārūḍhas have relevance in all the divisional charts.
Guruji: Ārūḍha is actually in the physical plane. Like my body. I am riding on this body. My Ārūḍha is on this body. So, the most important chart on which Ārūḍha is applicable, is the Rāśi chart. The Ārūḍha of the Rāśi chart, is the most crucial Ārūḍhas. Like Ārūḍha Lagna, Sukha Pada (A4), all theseĀrūḍhas are very crucial, each ārūḍha has multiple meanings. Upto D12, we have physical bodies, D12 is our parents, which are also physical body. For example, you can take the Ārūḍha of the 9th house in D12, and see 3rd house from that to know how the father will die. A9 in D12. You can take A4 in D12, and you will see how the mother will die from 3rd house from that. So, the Ārūḍhas are working in D9 and D12.
Same way you can do the Ārūḍhas in D9 chart and find about the wife, wife’s father, wife’s mother. So, you see? The Ārūḍhas of a certain divisional chart, refers to that division, and it does not refer to you. It refers to other people who matter to you. If a person has a fantastic Ārūḍha in D10 chart but a very bad Ārūḍha Lagna in the Rāśi chart, you can say generally that you have a very bad image in your house, your home people don’t like you. But in your work, you have excellent reputation because reputation at work is different from your reputation at home, among your family, among your friends. The Ārūḍha of Rāśi chart is actually a consolidation of all these Ārūḍhas. Your overall image.
Ārūḍha in D9 chart is what your in-laws think about you. Do they think you are a good man? It is what your in-laws actually think about you in their heart, not what they show you or tell you. It will also suggest what you need to do to change yourĀrūḍha.
Student (Question 2): What do we need to check to identify whether it is a good Ārūḍha or a bad Ārūḍha?
Guruji: I will clarify this further. There are four categories of good or bad, according to Parāśara:
- Uttama Guṇa
- Madhyama Guṇa
- Adhama Guṇa
- Udāsīna Guṇa
Sattva Guṇa are Sun, Moon, Jupiter. Moon and Jupiter are Uttama Guṇa. They give excellent reputation.
Sun, slides down to Madhyama Guṇa. Sūrya is sattva, but it comes down to madhyam because Sūrya is krura.
Rajas Guṇa are Mercury, Venus. Mercury gives reputation associated with money. It is asura graha. Venus will give reputation associated with looks. Good looking, Bad looking. Outer looks become important.
Adhama are Maṅgala, Rāhu, Śani.
Udāsīna is Ketu. Ketu is totally Udāsīna. Because sometimes he is uttama, sometimes he is madhyama, sometimes he is adhama. He is not fixed. He can be very spiritual, so, can become uttama like Jupiter and Moon.
So, actually when you talk of good and bad, grade it in 4 categories of Parāśara. Person having Ketu in Ārūḍha, will sometimes be sāttvika, sometimes rājasika and sometimes tāmasika. You will find all the 3 gunas fluctuating. Our job is to bring it more towards Moon and Jupiter. That can be done by worshipping the opposite
- If Rāhu in Ārūḍha worship Ketu, Gaṇeśa
- if Ketu, Maṅgala in Ārūḍha worship Rāhu, Durgā
- if Sun is in Ārūḍha worship Mercury, Viṣṇu
- if Jupiter is in Ārūḍha worship Śani, and deity for Śani
- if Moon is in Ārūḍha worship Venus, Lakṣmī Mā
Nadi Dictum : Bhāgya Pada (Ārūḍha of 9th house) with Sūrya in it, aspected by Śani, indicates that the native’s father has suffered because he has forgotten the worship of Viṣṇu. forgetting something, comes from Śani aspect(graha drishti is taken here because this shows desire of avoiding something or forgetting something). Reverse of Sūrya, is Mercury and Viṣṇu. These opposites are the Paramparā formula. If there are more than one graha in Ārūḍha, then take the stronger and then worship the opposite of that stronger graha.
Now, let’s talk about Ārūḍhas in higher divisions, more than D12. Divisional charts higher than D12, are about mental consciousness, they do not talk about physical consciousness. D16, D20, D24 : these 3 charts are images in our mind.
D16 chart is called the chart of luxury. What is luxury? Luxury is a state of Mind. The image that Mercedes is a more comfortable car than Maruti. That image is deciding which is more luxurious. It is a comparative thing. If Mercedes would not have existed in this world, then there would be no such comparison. That is why D16 chart is all about advertising. The advertisement masters understand the value of these comparative images. They pay tons of money to put the pictures in the magazines so that the images get into your head. Once an image gets into your head, you will not be satisfied until you have that. So, your biggest enemy is the advertisement masters. That is why in tell people, if you want to buy something, buy the best because you are not going to be satisfied until you have the best. Because whenever new advertisement comes you want the best thing. How to save yourself from that? Stop watching TV, stop reading magazines. Or my student Freedom Cole taught me a beautiful formula because he was learning advertising and things. I taught a lot of Ārūḍhas to him because he was only interested in Ārūḍhas. He told me that whenever you go to buy something, the salespersons are trained to sell something to you, so, they are trained to plant the two words in your mind, “buy” and “cheap”. He told me that if someone wants to sell you for example a shirt, and he says this shirt is nice and got these qualities etc etc, you have to keep saying “No, No, No” in your mind, so that the image doesn’t get into your head. Once it gets into your head, you have had it. You will not sleep until you get that. That is D16 chart. The car as a physical entity will come and go, but the image will always be there in your mind. Even today you remember the old cars you had. Those are the Ārūḍhas of those vehicles. It is a separate argument, whether YOU POSSESSED the vehicle or the Vehicle POSSESSED YOU. From my Gurudev’s point of view, the vehicle has possessed you. He was a true Jagannātha devotee. He would say: “That man is completely free and possesses everything, who can live under a tree for three days, and will not keep food with him for more than 3 days”. The planets are possessing you.
Student: So, the advertisers are actually doing cheating
Guruji: It is not cheating, If I have made something, I can put a picture. But It is up to the consumer to control their mind. Not everything is bad, clothes ,for example, are needed daily. But why must we have room full of clothes. Why do we need a building to keep our shoes? There is no limit to D16 chart. When a planet is debilitated, it will torment you more. When a planet is exalted in D16, you will be able to get over it.
Student: (…)
Guruji: That status symbol is associated with advertising. I still cannot understand why diamonds are so costly and Pukhraj is so cheap in this world. Pukhraj should be the costliest gemstone, and diamond should be the cheapest gemstone. It is because of advertising. There are so many diamonds available in this world but are controlled by few business houses so that the price does not fall. Russia has so many diamonds. It is a business. Because it has got a sparkle, people desire to have it. Nobody wants cat’s eye because it’s a horrible looking stone.
Student: How do we read this in D16? From the 4th house?
Guruji: From the 4th house, we see cars, vehicles, movable properties are in 4th house. Immovable properties are in 2nd house. Things which are for your body, like clothes etc, are in Lagna and 7th house. Lagna indicates shirts. 7th house indicates pants. 10th is maraka to the 4th, so, 10th house is not good in D16 chart. 4th house is the house of comforts, tell us, what is your comfort level. If Venus is in 4th house, or with the 4th Lord, person lives a comfortable life. It is Venus that defines luxury in D16. Depending on the strength of Venus in that chart, that will be the level of luxury that you will want. It is not that they love it, it’s actually the image in the mind. When we see the Ārūḍha of the D16, we will find what will happen to that car. 4th house of D16 is the car. A4 tells me, what will happen to that car. Let’s take a chart
Student: I have Venus in 4th.
Guruji: What is the Lagna
Student: Kumbha Lagna.
Guruji: Generally Kumbha Lagna and the Karka Lagna are the best Lagna because the 4th house Lorded by Venus. So, such people want comforts in their life no matter what. Such people get it also. They go to best product in anything. Yes or no?
Student: Yes.
Guruji: It is your nature because Venus is the Lord of the 4th house. Now let us see A4.
Student: A4 is in 7th house with Venus.
Guruji: So, your luxuries will be defined by the sign Siṃha with Venus in it.
Student: Yeah. Royal things
Guruji: Yes. It is definitely royal because its a royal sign. Venus in Siṃha is not really a good Venus. That means your things don’t really last. You may want to change them. Because it is about to go into debility. So, you are buying everything with a notion that you are going to replace it soon with a better product. It is one sign behind its debilitation.
Student: Yes, if I buy a laptop and a new and better laptop is available in market, I will change it.
Guruji: Yes. 6 months is your satisfaction level.
Another Student: Where is Venus in the Lagna chart?
Guruji: 4th house. Saturn is in 5th house. But in Rāśi chart A4 has a totally different meaning, it denotes the part of family or relatives that is influencing your childhood and home. A4 is in Bṛhaspati’s rāśi, and sura rāśi it will be the father’s side that will influence your childhood and home more. If it is in asura rāśi, it will be the mother’s side of relatives. A4 of D16 is totally different. My A4 of Lagna chart is in Tulā, and my mother’s side is very powerful. Lord of A4, Venus, is in 5th house, it is the best house that a planet can be in. Father’s side is simple Brāhmins from Puri. My brother also has A4 in Tulā (asura rāśi), it has to be, he is my brother. When you have to correct the horoscopes, and you are in doubt, look at the horoscopes of two brothers, and you will catch the horoscope of third brother, see A4. They lived in same home. A4 in D16, is different, it’s your attitude towards comforts and luxuries.
Student: (…)
Guruji: This is a very difficult question, and I will tell you why. Philosophically there are two different definitions of the self. In one, the chair is also me, I am the chair. So, I cannot say that I am different from chair. In Ārūḍha Lagna of the rāśi chart, all attributes come. Like, name is not a physical or tangible thing, but name is linked with Ārūḍha Lagna. Bill Clinton is a big name, So, name is linked with Ārūḍha. Candra must be strongly impacting Ārūḍha. Candra is Kāraka for names. That is why when Candra is in first or the 7th house from the Ārūḍha, the person’s name is fantastic. Jaimini said this, and he is right. So, Ārūḍha need not be physical only. We cannot limit Ārūḍha to only the physical. It can be anything by which you are being defined. The clothes you wear have a marked impact on your Ārūḍha. You try this formula. Phase out all colors and wear only one color shirt, then people around you will start associating that color shirt with you. My father actually tried this. My father was working for NMDC. My grandfather told him, “you wear khaki color (*means dust-colored or earth-colored) from now, light khaki color, he started wearing it”. And grandfather was like this, we had to do what he asked us to do. So, my father wore the light khaki color, and within 2 years, he won the President of India’s Gold Medal in engineering. That was unheard of until then. In those days,Malaviya Ji was used to be minister in Delhi, he recommended it and my father got it. So, you have to simply see your Malaviya Ārūḍha and take a hard decision. My father was not happy in wearing that same color shirts. Khaki (means dust-colored or earth-colored) is ruled by Sun, it is the off-white color. It is not white. White is ruled by Moon. My father’s Ārūḍha is Pisces and Sun in his chart has nīcabhaṅga rajyoga. The nīcabhaṅga rajayoga is caused by Mars in Siṃha. And the color of Siṃha is off-white. So, if he starts wearing off-white color, Mars will rise in strength in sixth from ārūḍha. And Mars in 6th from Ārūḍha, will give him success in any competition. That is why he always succeeded in his competitions. He was able to activate it. You see the logic? Light Khaki color is associated with the sign Siṃha, and he has Mars in Siṃha, causing nīcabhaṅga for Sūrya. So, he activated that by using light-khaki color constantly. You don’t always have to wear costly gemstones. People like my grandfather did not believe in gemstones. He never recommended gemstones to anybody. He will only give mantras and he would tell: “Wear this color, or do such and such remedies”. Very very simple remedies. Because people of Odisha, were poor people. Did you see how it works? You can activate by using the color of the signs. Are you aware of the color of the signs?
Who will tell me? Tell me what Varāhamihira told

- Meṣa : red
- Vṛṣabha: white
- Mithuna : all green shades, there is no other sign which has green color.
- Karka : pink, LORDSHIPS HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH RASHI COLORS
- Siṃha : Light khaki
- Kanyā : all shades of grey
- Tulā : Black
- Vṛścika : light yellow, shining yellows, bright yellows, its shine can hurt the eye.
- Dhanu : Gold, dull yellow, dark yellow.
- Makara : blue color, Nīla Padma. Blue sapphire color comes in Makara.
- Kumbha : its not variegated. deep purple color, (the color of poison).
- Mīna : No Color, colorless like water, you get mukti when you leave all colors behind. Sphaṭika is Mīna Rāśi. Sphaṭika is transparent like water. Translucent. Very-very light pastel colors. Glass, sphatik etc in Mīna Rāśi.
Guru is not strongest in Mīna, Śukra is the strongest in Mīna. Which mantra is best in Mīna rāśi? Mrityunjay Mantra is strongest in Mīna rāśi. Why? All the hospitals of the world are signified by Mīna rāśi. Mrityunjay saves one from death. Śukra is strongest there. So, you had fixation that Mīna is for Guru. That is a wrong fixation, do not ever think in terms of graha-rāśi. Rāśi is a kshetra, in which some become strong and some become weak. You will not connect rāśi to a planet, you will never do that again. A rāśi is a field. And, in that field some become strong and some become weak. Most people think that Mīna rāśi and Dhanu rāśi are the same because they are ruled by Jupiter. They are completely different. Mīna rāśi and Dhanu rāśi cannot even be equal in your dreams. For example, Tulā is black color but Śukra is white color. So, they are not same.
Shades of gold color, all browns; fall in Dhanu. Because Ketu gets exalted over there. Ketu is Gṛha Kāraka, so, the color of brick, is Dhanu rāśi.
Orange : orange is nothing but shades of red. All shades of red are in Meṣa.
Sky Blue : sky blue is a shade of blue color, and is in Makara Rāśi.
Very light brown is Siṃha.
Brown is Dhanu.
Very light gold is Siṃha
Gold is Dhanu.
Shiny yellow is Vṛścika. That hurts the eye, shiny bright yellow.
A good astrologer will choose color wisely. Normal astrologers cannot choose color. And we choose based upon Ārūḍhas. See which graha are good from Ārūḍha, and choose that color for wearing clothes. For example, My Ārūḍha Lagna is in Dhanu, lord of Ārūḍha Lagna is Jupiter is in Mīna. My Gurudev actually caught me on this one. So, should I wear completely transparent color? See, you are also stuck. Like in my father’s case, Maṅgala was in 6th from Ārūḍha Lagna, its a graha, but you are choosing the color of the rāśi in which Maṅgala is sitting. The color of the clothes, we are not basing on grahas. The color of clothes we are basing on rāśi. This is a very important concept. Graha are people.
Student: So, we should see from the lord of Ārūḍha Lagna?
Guruji: You should see from the Ārūḍha Lagna, which Graha is good and which Graha is bad. And based upon what you want to happen, choose accordingly. Ultimately, you have to look at Ārūḍha when you are prescribing clothes. For me, Jupiter is important, I am a Jyotishi, I am wearing Jyotish, what should I wear? Should I not wear Ketu’s color? Ketu is there?
Student: ((…))
Guruji: Graha are something which is living. Non living things are seen in Rāśi. Clothes, color are non-living things so, they are to seen in rāśi, and not in Graha. Jīvātmās are living things. Jaḍātmās are non living things. It is a totally different issue that different Graha “like” different color. It is wrong to say that Maṅgala’s color is red. It is bad translation. Maṅgala likes red color. When we say that my Jupiter is Lagna Lord in Mīna, that means I like yellow color. Like, the actual color of the physical planet Saturn, is Brownish color. Mars planet’s soil is red, because its dry and arid.
Student: ((…))
Guruji: Jupiter is known for its magnetic field, it is million miles long, and its the akash tattva. But we cannot say someone having Maṅgala as Lagna Lord, will have red skin. The actual colors of people’s skin, are defined by Jaimini differently. People who are ruled by Maṅgala, their skin will be Shiny Black. Śani rules people will be dull black. People with strong Moon and Jupiter will have lighter complexions, more fair. Why? Because they work indoors. Jupiter is always indoors with a book how would he become dark complexioned? Skin color can change according to dashas. During Śani daśā, your skin will become more dull in complexion. During Mercury daśā, you will get more shine in skin. The important part is, that you will like the color based upon the planet in your Lagna or your Lagna Lord. Somebody ruled by Mercury will like green, it is a natural liking. So, if you want to please somebody ruled by Mercury, wear green and go.
Student: What was your father’s liking?
Guruji: White, he always likes white. Venus is his Lagna Lord, he has Vṛṣabha Lagna, so, Śukra will like white color. Śukra loves white color. Given a chance, he will wear white color. But, he was forced to wear khākīki color by my grandfather.
Student: How to use this in practice?
Guruji: Very simple, read the chart from Ārūḍha Lagna, and see what do you want to activate, wear the color of that Rāśi.
Student: Color has an impact?
Guruji: Color has a very strong impact upon the minds of the people. Color of shirt affects more than gemstone. Color of clothes is adding to that aura of yours.
Student: What is the effect of Saffron (gerua) color.
Guruji: When you see saffron color on a sādhu, you associate it immediately with spirituality. Buddhist originally used to wear red. Geruā is a more milder color. Red has shine and shine has to do with royalty. Dullness has to do with renunciation. That is why saffron is dull color. Color have impact on Ārūḍhas which are actually in the minds. Sādhus wear saffron to help others to treat them like sādhus, and in that way, it is helping them in there sādhanā. Once I was in Ireland, and we were sitting and talking. That person offered me “will you have a beer?”. I realized that I should wear normal dresses. I thought that I should do my mantras more because such a thought shouldn’t have come into his head. Why did he offered me. It means I must do my mantras properly. Alternatively, I can wear clothes and colors so that he would look at me and think that i am monk and don’t offer me such things again. That is why people wear certain colors. Colors and dresses have an impact.
Student: Why is purple considered a very royal color?
Guruji: It is very royal. It is extremely royal, because it has shades of red. Rāhu! Royalty has 3 things associated with it. When we talk of yogi planets, they fall in 3 groups. Sun group. Moon group. Venus group.
Royal group:Sun group. Sun, Rāhu, and Mercury.
Middle Class: Moon group. Moon, Jupiter and Ketu
Labour Class Group. Venus, Mars and Śani.
If you make a pyramid of 60 degrees, and put the entire population evenly in it. And then from the height, you cut off 1/3rd; 1/3rd; 1/3rd. Top 1/3rd is Royal group : Sun, Rāhu, Mercury. Middle 1/3rd is Middle Class : Moon Jupiter Ketu. Bottom 1/3rd with the largest population, is Mars, Venus, Saturn. This is society.
Top 1/3rd is:
- Mercury = businessmen
- Rāhu = master schemers
- Sun = People in power
They constitute the ruling classes. They rule every society. The Sun cannot rule without Rāhu and will rule so long as Rāhu does not cut him out. So long Rāhu is not cutting the Sun, there is nobody to pull Sun down. Nobody has the strength. If today there is a Prime Minister in the country, he can continue to be the Prime Minister till he dies. The only thing that can stop him from staying as the Prime Minister, is RĀHU. So, to rule, Sun needs to appease Rāhu. For 100 odd years, England ruled over the whole world. You know why? That was the only place which did not have a solar eclipse. If you see the eclipse cycles, an eclipse did not occur for more than I think, 300 years, over England. During that world, they ruled over the world. The first solar eclipse occurred over England, their power started going. There is direct connection between solar eclipse, and the power in a Land. You can read my paper on eclipses.
Mercury is businessman, money.
These three people are the ruling class.
Mercury does not like Rāhu, but he needs Sun.
Sun needs Rāhu but does not like Mercury because Mercury is always taking favors from Sun.
Rāhu loves Mercury and Mercury hates Rāhu. Because Rāhu needs money. Gundas need Money. They don’t care. They only want money. The once they feel that are always controlling them, are Sūrya. Sūrya is ruling so long as Rāhu is favorable to him. And, Rāhu needs money i.e., Mercury, to control the goons. This is the vicious triangle, what they call trio of politician, criminal and businessmen. May many authors have written about this nexus. This is not so from today, its from time immemorial. That is why they are called Yogī planets. Come to the 2nd level.
Middle 1/3rd. Moon, Jupiter, Ketu. True mystics are Ketu ruled people. Truly spiritual people. In the middle class, they form the elite. Ketu are upper-middle class. Jupiter are the learned ones. Professors, teachers, top astrologers, the learned ones. Moon are the good middle class, who form the backbone of any society and democracy. The backbone of every society, is Candra. They are the good people in society, who do not consider anybody in society as enemy. There is again a triangle over there. You study that triangle if you want.
Lower 1/3rd. Mars Venus Saturn. Saturn is the labor class. Mars is the constable class. Any form of control mechanism in society, is Mars, including Army. Defence, security, policing, and the entire control mechanism comes over there. It is a very low level work. Policing is a very low level work.
Venus is the entire entertainment people. This part of society runs on Venus, their whole thing is focused on Venus. For them, money is not important. The enjoyment is important. I was traveling to Andhra Pradesh in south, I was surprised to know that there is a small village having very few number of houses, but they have a big picture hall. Such few number of houses, and such a big picture hall. Entertainment is so important for them. They know that they don’t aspire to become a Tata or a Birla, they know that they will earn a very little, and they have the day planned out in that small amount of money. That is their life. Venus is everything over there. Venus is God over there for them.
Student: ((…))
Guruji: Naturally. Who are spiritual? Middle class is spiritual. Who is having morals in society? Middle class is having morals. The lower class or the top-class have no morals. It is the case in every Yuga. That is why they used to give up kingship and go away. Why did Buddha gave up? Why did Why did Viśvāmitra give up kingship to become Viśvāmitra? Yes, it is true that there are people like Janaka who were King and they were Sādhus. They are very rare, like one in a million. It is very difficult.
Student: Were there others also?
Guruji: Yes. Śrī Rāma was also such. Perfect Sādhutva is very difficult.
Student: Kṛṣṇa was also known as Yogeshwara
Guruji: Kṛṣṇa is different. Kṛṣṇa can exist simultaneously in multiple bodies. Nobody could do that. You cannot compare him to anybody else. It is impossible. There is no comparison. It is very difficult to exist simultaneously in two levels. Very few can. But these are very nice concepts in Jyotish. That is why Śeṣādri Iyer came up with this concept of Yogī point. Please read his articles, he has written Yogī and Avayogī, he has written it so nice. But he has, I think, has stretched it to everything. Which is I think, is not right. It has its value and what he has taught, is very nice. But, you cannot stretch it to everything. Any other questions?
Student: Yes, I have a question.
Guruji: Okay, I will just complete Sarbani’s point. Even in D60, we have Ārūḍha Lagna, it shows the Lagna of last life and how we study death and all that. So, Ārūḍhas have their value. Your question was pertaining to?
Student: Yoga. Whether they exist in divisional charts.
Guruji: Yoga is nothing but a certain formation of a planet. It gives certain attribute. The attribute given by a yoga of a divisional chart, is limited to that division of life. It does form, but won’t have the same meaning. Nṛsiṃha and I once had a very big argument on this. It went on for 2 months. He said that Jayalalitha(…) you can see her chart. Very simple chart.
Mithuna Lagna.
Venus in 10th
Jupiter in 7th house.
Forget other planetary positions. Just 2 planet positions you need.
D10: Dhanu rising in Lagna, Jupiter in Lagna.
According to Nṛsiṃha, he felt that Haṃsa Mahāpuruṣa results will be felt in her life because Jupiter is in her Daśāṃśa Lagna. I totally objected to this. I told him, “you and I will live to see that day when Haṃsa Mahāpuruṣa will not function, there is no Haṃsa Mahāpuruṣa”.
Student: But Jupiter is in tattva in D10 Lagna
Guruji: It is Mahāpuruṣa, and Puruṣa is in Rāśi chart, so, how can you say that Puruṣa is in Daśāṃśa? Rāśi Chart has Mālavya and Haṃsa, both Mahāpuruṣa. If you see my paper on Mahāpurusa yoga, only one Mahāpuruṣa will function at a point in time or in one life. You cannot have panch-Mahāpuruṣa in one life. Only Śiva can be born with that. That is why Draupadī had to have five husbands. So, in her chart, tell me which is the strongest among Mālavya and Haṃsa. It is obviously Mālavya because Venus is exalted and that too in the strongest kendra, the 10th house. Mālavya made her the top actress in her time. Every movie of hers, was a superhit. She had a fan-following that was unmatched even today. She and her husband are worshipped like Gods. The fan club even made a temple for him. If she was a Haṃsa Mahāpurusa, she would not have allowed a temple to be made in her name. Haṃsa will never cross the spiritual limits. They will have blind respect for all religion and all faith. Haṃsa means soul, their soul is very strong. They are focused on soul level. Do you think somebody with Haṃsa Mahāpurusa will put the Śaṅkarācārya in jail? I told Nṛsiṃha, “you and I will live to see the day when I will be proved right”. And I was proved right when she did this. The moment she did this, Nṛsiṃha came to chennai, and did Pūjās and all, so that Śaṅkarācārya’s name is cleared. “What happened to your Haṃsa Mahāpurusa yoga calculation”, I told Nṛsiṃha. Problem is, that Guru is Dhanu in Rāśi, but you cannot say that the person is Mahāpurusa in a Varga. Varga cannot make a Mahāpurusa. It has to be in Rāśi Chart. Guru in Dhanu is super in D10 and will give power, but you cannot call it Haṃsa Mahāpurusa.

Guruji:
Yogas are of various kinds. Nābhasa Yogas, for example, are “sky-occurring” yogas; they occur in the sky. Nābhasa means “sky,” and the sky is represented only in the Rāśi chart. So how can you extend that blindly into divisional charts?
Certain yogas you can extend: placement in houses, graha in Rāśi, exaltation, pāpa-kartarī, śubha-kartarī, exchange or parivartana, sambandha — these things can be seen in the divisional charts. But you cannot extend a Mahāpuruṣa Yoga into divisional charts.
If there is a mutual aspect between the 9th lord and the 10th lord in the Daśāṁśa or D10, you can call it a yoga between the 9th lord and the 10th lord, but you cannot call it Dharma-Karmādhipati Yoga. Dharma-Karmādhipati Yoga is the highest of the highest yogas. Dharmarāja Yudhiṣṭhira was born with this yoga.
In D10, it means that your father and your boss will play a crucial role in your career — that is what it means, only this. Whereas Dharma-Karmādhipati Yoga means that you are going to become a karma-yogī, and God will use your hands to establish dharma in this world. That is a huge yoga; it cannot be taken into D10.
Even if this yoga is forming in the Rāśi chart, you must check that the kārakas of the 9th and 10th houses — Jupiter and Mercury — are very strong in the chart. Only then is the Dharma-Karmādhipati Yoga strong.
In Bhagavān Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s chart, Śani is the yogakāraka, being both the 9th lord and the 10th lord. So is everybody with Vṛṣabha Lagna going to have Dharma-Karmādhipati Yoga? No. I will not accept that. For that, Mercury and Jupiter must have excellent sambandha, like in Śrī Kṛṣṇa’s chart. Mercury and Jupiter are in the 5th house at the same degree. Yes, you can say Śrī Kṛṣṇa had Dharma-Karmādhipati Yoga.
A person having Dharma-Karmādhipati Yoga will establish a lineage. Lineages will take his teachings and follow them. He gave the Bhagavad Gītā, and that became a crucial part of Hindu Dharma. Without the Bhagavad Gītā, Vedānta would have been forgotten. Who is reading the Vedas? Nobody. They are just giving stories. It happens a little bit in Purī, but nowhere else. The Bhagavad Gītā has caused Satya Sanātana Dharma, or Hindu Dharma, to survive.
Do you see the Jupiter-Mercury conjunction in the chart? Whenever you see yogas in a chart, you must also see that the kārakas of the bhāvas are strong. Otherwise, the yoga will not manifest.
In some cases, there is a yoga of the 9th lord and the 10th lord, but Jupiter is sitting somewhere in a weak position. So that is not Dharma-Karmādhipati Yoga, because Dharma, or Jupiter, is so weak.
The person having Dharma-Karmādhipati Yoga will even give his or her life to save the life of a sādhu. And Haṁsa Mahāpuruṣa Yoga will sacrifice everything to save a soul. Haṁsa Mahāpuruṣa is blind to God. Arjuna is Haṁsa Mahāpuruṣa. He is blind to God.
Student: ((…))
Guruji: Both yogas will not function together. One will be defunct.
For example, I have an uncle. He has Śaśa Mahāpuruṣa Yoga, Rucaka Mahāpuruṣa Yoga, and Haṁsa Mahāpuruṣa Yoga. He has Karka Lagna, with Jupiter exalted, Saturn exalted in the 4th house, and Mars exalted in the 7th house.
Whoever saw that horoscope was like, “Wow, what a chart!”
My uncle’s commentary was like, “Śaśa Mahāpuruṣa will function. He will work in ships, earn money through water and such things, and should worship Śani.” He was very clear: “There is no Haṁsa.”
They asked, “Why?” My Gurudev said, “Guru is alone in Lagna, Śani is exalted with Sūrya, and Maṅgala is alone. The 4th house is more dominant, so Śaśa Mahāpuruṣa will function.”
He had Revatī nakṣatra, and Śani was born in Revatī nakṣatra, so my Gurudev recommended Śani worship. He spent his whole life on ships. You would have said that there are three Mahāpuruṣas. But you should not get carried away with all that.
Student: Is Candra in the 9th house?
Guruji: Candra is in the 9th house. It is in exchange with Jupiter. He worked in shipping. He loves his Champagne.
Student: Janma nakṣatra?
Guruji: Janma nakṣatra! It is a very good question. She has got a very good question. Which are the janma nakṣatra of the Grahas? In which nakṣatra was Guru born? This is very important. Write it:
If a person is born in a nakṣatra in which a Graha was born, then they must do Graha-pūjā (graha-worship) at Brahma Muhūrta. If they do this, they will have a very smooth life.
| Graha | Nakṣatra |
|---|---|
| Sūrya | Maghā Nakṣatra |
| Guru | Pūrvaphalgunī and Uttaraphalgunī Nakṣatras |
| Śani | Revatī Nakṣatra |
| Ketu | Āśleṣā Nakṣatra |
| Candra | Rohiṇī Nakṣatra |
| Rāhu | Bharaṇī Nakṣatra |
| Śukra | Svātī Nakṣatra |
| Maṅgala | Dhaniṣṭhā Nakṣatra, Kṛttikā Nakṣatra |
Sūrya :Maghā Nakṣatra
Guru : Both Phalgunī Nakshatras. That is why Phalgunī month is the best month.
Śani : Revatī
Ketu : Āśleṣā
Candra : Rohiṇī. Not Mṛgaśīrṣa (because Devatā of Mṛgaśīrṣa is Candra)
Rāhu : Bharaṇī Nakṣatra.
Śukra : Svātī
Maṅgala = Dhaniṣṭhā(yuddha Maṅgala), Kṛttikā (kartikeya)
Mercury …
The list is given by Harihara Majumdār, is from Bengal. You should get books of Harihara Majumdār and start reading. He is very traditional.
Phalguna = have you ever thought why Phalguna is considered such an auspicious nakṣatra? Because Phalgunī are the janma nakṣatra of Guru Bṛhaspati.
The list is given by Harihara Majumdār, is from Bengal. You should get books of Harihara Majumdār and start reading. He is very traditional.
Phalguna : have you ever thought why Phalguna is considered such an auspicious nakṣatra? Because Phalgunī are the janma Nakṣatra of Guru Bṛhaspati.
All weapons are made in Dhaniṣṭhā. If you have to buy a weapon, buy it in Dhaniṣṭhā. It will surely achieve its objective of killing whoever you want.
These things work. My uncle, he used to drink every night, he was in shipping. Now he is stable, very good job, He is in England. He was able to send both his sons for engineering in the US. A common person, rose up and lived such a good life. Very smooth life. He solved every problem very smoothly. Life was very smooth. He wanted to leave the ship. So, he started Śani pūjā in Brahma Muhūrta suggested by my uncle, and his whole life is smooth. It works, you know? It works. That is the important thing. Please start translating Harihara Majumdara per day everyday.
Brahma Muhūrta is the creation muhūrta. If your janma nakṣatra is Bharaṇī, so, you have to get up in Brahma Muhūrta, and you have to do worship of Rāhu Graha with the Graha mantra which is given in the Ṛgveda. For other nakṣatra, you are advised to do the nakṣatra Devatā pūjā.
The Devatā of the nakṣatra, its very good to worship this Devatā, it gives long life – dīrghāyu. Āyu is given by Brahmā; Viṣṇu gives dhana, Śiva gives kalyāṇa. This is the Om- formula. That is why I am talking of Brahma Muhūrta for Brahmā Ji. At Brahma Muhūrta, the nakṣatra Devatā or the nakṣatra Graha has to be worshipped. These are the nakṣatra Grahas as defined. Otherwise, you are supposed to worship the nakṣatra Devatā. Some of the nakṣatra Devatās should not be worshipped at Brahma Muhūrta; it is not advised.
For example, Āśleṣā nakṣatra Devatā are Sarpa. It is not advised to worship Sarpa at Brahma Muhūrta. Instead, worship Ketu as the nakṣatra Graha of Āśleṣā at Brahma Muhūrta.
Likewise, Bharaṇī Nakṣatra: Devatā is Yama. You are not advised to worship Yama at Brahma Muhūrta. Instead, worship Rāhu at Brahma Muhūrta, as the nakṣatra Graha of the Bharaṇī Nakṣatra. There is a reason behind this. These Nakṣatra Devatās have been substituted by Grahas for a certain reason.
For example, Phalgunī is ruled by Devatā, especially the Pūrvaphalgunī, because the other Phalgunī, i.e., the Uttaraphalgunī, is ruled by Savitṛ, and you can do the Sāvitrī Gāyatrī in Brahma Muhūrta. Sāvitrī Gāyatrī is generally for everybody. How is it specific to you? That is why you have to do Bṛhaspati Gāyatrī early in the morning: “Ati yadaryo arhād (…)” that one you should do if you are born in Phalgunī nakṣatra. Svātī is ruled by Vāyu Deva. Hanuman Ji was born in Svātī nakṣatra.
Student: I also have Svātī as my Janma nakṣatra.
Guruji: Ohh… very good. It is my favorite nakṣatra. My mother was born in Svātī nakṣatra. My favorite nakṣatra is Svātī because of Hanuman Ji. I like Hanuman Ji, a personal preference.
My Janma nakṣatra is Śatabhiṣaj. The Devatā is Varuṇa. I must worship Varuṇa at Brahma Muhūrta or early in the morning. And whenever I go to Konarka, I always worship Varuṇa early in the morning. At Konarka, it comes automatically in me to worship Varuṇa. If you visit Konarka, you will know who to worship early in the morning. You have to stay there. Take a guest house and stay there for some days, 5 days or 7 days; and automatically you will start worshipping your Nakṣatra Devatā for Dīrghāyu. That is the power of Konarka Temple; even after breaking it, this power is still there. What is your nakṣatra?
Student: Ārdrā
Guruji: Who is the devatā of Ārdrā nakṣatra?
Another Student: Rudra
Guruji: Why are you answering? Then you should teach them. Why should I stand here? It is Rudra for Ārdrā nakṣatra. So, who is Rudra? Śiva is Rudra. Om Namaḥ Śivāya or the Rudra Gāyatrī. If you do them in Brahma Muhūrta, you will have dirgha-āyu and you will not have diseases in body.
Student: ((…))
Guruji: Depending upon the problem. It is for āyu. If you don’t want āyu, don’t do it. When you are giving remedies you have to keep in mind what the native wants. If someone is looking for money and not for longevity, why should I give nakṣatra devatā mantra? Nakṣatra devatā mantra or nakṣatra graha mantra is for having smooth life. Someone who wants to rise in life, is not looking for a smooth life. Then you should not recommend nakṣatra devatā. You have to wake up in Brahma Muhūrta. For diseases, you have look at the issue the graha causing the disease, and then give remedy. This is that thing which is done before any disease, this is prevention which comes before the cure.
Student: So, one has to wake up in Brahma Muhūrta?
Guruji: That is what my mummy is doing. The alarm does a loud sound and everybody wakes up. She does her pūjā. Then she goes back to sleep. And everybody keeps roaming around. She has Śani exalted in Tulā. To get sleep is a good blessing. My mother’s sister has become half nuts because of lack of sleep.
Next student, tell the janma nakṣatra
Student: Bharaṇī.
Guruji: Bharaṇī? Then you should worship Rāhu in Brahma Muhūrta.
Student: I worship Durgā.
Guruji: That is also Okay.
Student: I love Kṛṣṇa.
Guruji: Whom you love is a different issue, that your 5th house. I also love Kṛṣṇa. But when I go to Konarka, I worship Varuṇa. That much dose is sufficient for me. I don’t want to live more than that. Then I come back and keep roaming in my 5th house. Next
Student: Hasta Nakṣatra
Guruji: Hasta Nakṣatra! you should do Tat savitur vareṇyaṃ. Savitur is the devatā of Hasta nakṣatra. Next.
Student: Śravaṇa
Guruji: Who is the devatā of Śravaṇa nakṣatra?
Student: Viṣṇu?
Guruji: Yes. Definitely Viṣṇu. Sarva Vyapakesha. Next student
Student: Mūla nakṣatra
Guruji: Who is the Devatā of Mūla Nakṣatra? Rākṣasa. So, would you worship Rākṣasa in Brahma Muhūrta? So, here you will use substitute. Śukra is the substitute for Mūla and Āṣāḍhā nakṣatra. You should do Śukra Gāyatrī. Please check it from that book. Next chart.
Student: Rohiṇī
Guruji: So, you should worship Candra in morning in Brahma Muhūrta.
Another Student: But Candra is not the Devatā of Rohiṇī nakṣatra
Guruji: The Devatā of Rohiṇī nakṣatra is Brahmā, but the worship of Brahmā is prohibited. That is why Rohiṇī is the janma nakṣatra of Candra. So, you will worship Candra. If you worship Budha in Revatī nakṣatra, it is the debilitation place of Mercury, so, you are not supposed to worship Budha if Revatī is your Janma nakṣatra.
Student: Can we worship Prajāpati?
Guruji: How will you worship Prajāpati? You can worship Prajāpati for nakṣatra doṣa etc, but not for longevity.
Student: What is the difference between Prajapati and Brahmā. Prajāpati is Sūrya manifesting as the creator. He created whole Brahmāṇḍa. Sun is creator. He was created and then he created everybody else. Sun is prajapati. Prajāpati are the creators. Daksha Prajāpati is one such. He is different from Brahmā. Prajāpati are the ones who caused creation in world and are different from Brahmā. So when you are worshipping Prajapati, you are not worshipping one deity, you are worshipping a group of deities. So, you should worship Candra because your Janm nakṣatra is Rohiṇī. Candra Mantra is given in books, do that for long life and a smooth life without fluctuations. Do not expect rise do not expect fall. Next chart.
Student: Mṛgaśīrṣa, Candra is Devatā.
Guruji: That is right, Candra is devatā of Mṛgaśīrṣa, not as a graha but as a Devatā.
Student: Ahirbudhnya Nakṣatra
Guruji: Who is Ahirbudhnya
Student: I don’t have knowledge on it. It is related to snakes.
Guruji: That is why you are not supposed to do that, you are supposed to worship Śani in Brahma Muhūrta. Next
Student: Pūrvāṣāḍhā
Guruji: Check it. it belongs to Śukra group. Sarbani has got the list, she can show it to you. Who is devatā? Brahma Muhūrta is before sunrise.
Student: I had Mercury in Ārūḍha Lagna, for that also you told me to worship Viṣṇu. And Śravaṇa nakṣatra, so, I have to worship Viṣṇu according to nakṣatra also
Guruji: You are so lucky. Both are coming as same. There is no tension. But at Brahma Muhūrta, the Viṣṇu mantra that you are supposed to do, is, Tad Viṣṇoḥ paramaṃ padaṃ sadā paśyanti sūrayaḥ divīva cakṣur ātatam. It is Gāyatrī. Gayatris are done in Brahma Muhūrta. You have to do the Gāyatrī in Brahma Muhūrta. This Gāyatrī is in Ṛgveda.
Student: Can you help me write this Gāyatrī?
Guruji: Sarbani will help you, she has that book. It is also in my VRA. Definitely, I would never give dīkṣā of Viṣṇu Gāyatrī because it is my favorite mantra. I keep doing it whenever I get time.
So, we are now clear with nakṣatra devatā.
Student: I want to ask question on pāpakartarī in Ārūḍha in divisional chart
Guruji: So, you will have bad reputation in that division of life.
Student: I had seen this in case of Man Mohan Singh, in Rāśi chart, he had pāpakartarī of Sun and Saturn on the Ārūḍha Lagna
Guruji: Yes. his image got damaged during the period of planets doing the pāpakartarī yoga. Śani Mahādaśā, Sūrya Antardaśā. See very carefully. His image got damaged during that particular daśā. Sūrya is debilitated in second from the ārūḍha, that is bad.
Student: ((…))
Guruji: So, Rāhu and Maṅgala are having pāpakartarī on Moon. And both of them are strong?
Student: Yes
Guruji: So you want to say that if the graha doing the papa kartari are strong, they won’t do pāpakartarī? No. As far as Candra is concerned, they will kill Candra. they will simply kill Candra. Both Rāhu and Maṅgala are extremely powerful, so, they will kill Candra. The strong is the negative influence on the 2nd and 12th, the worse they will be. Where is Venus?
Student: 4th house
Guruji: So, from the Ārūḍha Lagna, which is Makara(…) is she the oldest by any chance? She is the oldest right?
Student: Yes
Guruji: Yes, she would be the oldest. I don’t see a problem with that Candra because that Candra is in 11th and in pāpakartarī. It is superb. It will give a lot of income. It can also indicate a loss of a pregnancy before her.
Student: Pāpakartarī is on 4th house,
Guruji: Yes, that too between Śani and Rāhu which is actually worse than the pāpa-kartarī he is talking about (Rāhu-Maṅgala PKY). Śani-Rāhu pāpakartarī is on 4th house and 4th lord Venus, but fortunately, Śani will not do that pāpakartarī. We are not bothered about Śukra, we are bothered about Śani. Śani will not do pāpakartarī. Because no graha can do pāpakartarīon its own house, mūlatrikoṇa or exaltation house. That is why she is lucky. Śani is actually doing Śubhakartarī Yoga.
Student: Budha is the 12th lord and Venus is the 8th lord. Budha and Śukra are in yoga.
Guruji: It is Lakṣmī Mā yoga, Lagna Lord and 9th lord. Lagna Lord, 9th lord and 11th lord are there in 4th house. (Tulā Lagna). It is like a Parijata yoga. It is a very powerful yoga. It is a very very powerful yoga in the 4th yoga. This person will also want to go abroad after education, maybe after marriage. Income will be very good. That Moon is indicating the death of somebody before her. That is why I confidently said, she is the eldest.
Student: How do we interpret Mercury-Śukra yoga. Is it a viprita rajyoga?
Guruji: Yes. Yoga is in a foreign country. She would go abroad. 8th and 12th house are becoming very beneficial. Jupiter and Moon are doing śubha-kartarī yoga on the 7th house. You can see that also. You can see that Moon and Mercury are doing shubha kartari on 5th house also. Also, if you notice very carefully, there is a graha-malika yoga starting from 3rd house ending at the 8th house. This is a very clear indication of going abroad. This is a typical case who should do Śani Gāyatrī in Brahma Muhūrta everyday. See, Moon is in Mīna rāśi. Early morning, wake up before sunrise and do the Śani pūjā before sunrise everyday throughout life. Life will become very smooth. Ārūḍha Lagna is in Śani’s house. Upapāda is also in Vṛṣabha. It is so clear.
Student: How many times should the Gāyatrī be done?
Guruji: 108 times on a mala. If you can’t do 108, do 21 chants.
Student: Vṛṣabha Lagna and Venus in 2nd house. ((…))
Guruji: In any Parivartana Yoga involving a Kendra (1, 4, 7, 10), it is the other house that will become the focus of the Yoga. Kendra is you, you are the Kendra. Kendras are Viṣṇu sthāna. They are “sva” sthāna. Four Kendras represent “YOUR” four ayana. That is why if there is parivartana between 8th house and 10th house, it is called Dainya Yoga (dainya means poor). Dainya parivartana. Why? The focus will be on the 8th house. If it is 7th house exchange with 3rd house, then the focus will go to the 3rd house all the time. If the Lagna does parivartana with 2nd house, the focus will be on the 2nd house. Such person will be focused on money matters and will be wealthy. If there is exchange between 9th house and 10th house, the focus will be on the 9th house, making the person very spiritual.
Student: ((…))
Guruji: That is not a parivartana Yoga. If 9th lord is in 10th house and 10th lord is somewhere else, it is not a parivartana Yoga. Let us say 9th lord is in 5th house, and 5th lord is not in 9th house, it is not a Parivartana. If 10th lord is in 5th house and 5th lord is somewhere else, it is not a Parivartana.
Student: My question is that 9th lord and 10th lord are in 5th house, and 5th lord is in 10th house.
Guruji: The sambandha is between 9th and 10th house, and there is an exchange between 5th and 10th house. But there are four categories of sambandhas. First is Parivartana. Second is conjunction. Third is mutual aspects. Fourth is when they are related to each other’s signs. In these, parivartana is the topmost priority. If this Parivartana Yoga is involved, then other yogas won’t work unless parivartana gets activated first. Only then the other Yogas will work. The key is inside the parivartana.
Student: (No, no, he is asking something else.)
Guruji: No, he is actually asking his own horoscope, you don’t understand, you are being foolish. I know my students, he is asking his own horoscope. In this case, there is a Yoga in which 9th lord is yuti with 10th lord in 5th house; this is a Yoga at level number 2. Parivartana of 5th and 10th is at 1st top level and is more dominant than the other. Let’s come to your horoscope, you want to know? Which are the planets involved?
Student: Vṛścika Lagna, Sun and Moon are in 5th house and Jupiter is in 10th house.
Guruji: When the yoga of Sūrya and Sūrya gets activated, everything else will get activated. Then Dharma-karmādhipati will also get activated. You will become spiritual and start learning about spirituality, and become duty-bound. Your whole life will undergo change. 5th is the house of mantra, that is why when you came to see me, I told you “what are you doing here, go to Rāmakṛṣṇa Mission and take mantra right now”. Because I do praśna in many ways. Do the mantra and rest will fall in place.
Student: Here it is 5th house. Supposing 9th and 10th lord are sitting in 8th house, then what will happen?
Guruji: 8th house means tapasyā. So, you have to do tapasyā. Here it was parivartana. Suppose a case in which only the combination is there and parivartana is not there. Then you check which is the highest, then, only the highest one will dominate and until the highest one is activated, others won’t work.
Here the exchange was between the 10th house and 5th house, so, the focus came into 5th house. At that time, he was standing on the door. I said, “who are you”?He said, “I have come to SJC, I am an SJC student”. I just looked at him. I talked with you 5 minutes, and I said: “What are you doing here, just go now and take Dīkṣā from Rāmakṛṣṇa Mission”.Until you took mantra, nothing was opening up. But when 10th house is exchange with 8th house, the focus is coming into 8th house. 8th house is tapasyā. Likewise, 6th house is “offering voluntary services”. You have to bring good to the house which is involved. Then the other house will wake up, all doors will open. Wherever parivartana is involved, remember that the door is locked for sure. you will have to unlock it.
Student: What if the trine is involved in exchange
Guruji: In trine, you have no control like you have control on kendras. If 5th house is involved, you can bring about changes through mantra practice.
Student: Mithuna Lagna having exchange of 9th and 10th lord.
Guruji: Mithuna is Lagna and Śani and Guru are in exchange, so, both 9th and 10th house are getting involved. 9th house is the house of temple. 10th house is self as far as karma is concerned. Till now i have not discussed about the other lordship of these grahas. Here, 10th lord is also 7th lord.
Student: Exchange is between 7th house and 8th house
Guruji: Okay. So, Śani is in 7th house, and Guru is in 8th house. Take the 10th lordship of Guru and 9th lordship of Śani, also. So, an exchange between 7th and 8th houses is also causing a sambandha (combination/yuti) between 9th and 10th house. So, Dharma-Karmādhipati Yoga has happened. But 7th and 8th house are also getting involved. As far as 8th house is concerned, it requires the tapasyā. Even when Dharma-karmādhipati yoga is functioning, you will have to do tapasyā. Marriage is involved. 10th house karma is involved. Karma has to be done by you. After marriage, you told that you were in a temple, living in temple, and doing all the work for the temple, making the food for bhoga offered to Kṛṣṇa, and did all that. It was like a tapasyā for her. She herself was not attached. She was not very spiritual at that time but she was doing her karma. That is 8th house tapasyā, 7th house marriage, and 10th house karma. It will cause change inside you without you even knowing it. You are saying: “I am not spiritual”, but you have become so spiritual that you have not realised. 8th house brings transformations. Think about your personality before marriage vs after marriage. People will see that debilitated Jupiter and say bad things about it. Those astrologer are foolish they don’t know Jyotish.
Jupiter has nīcabhaṅga because of Śani. Śani means labour. Śani is having digbala also. The more labour she would do the more nīcabhaṅga Guru will have. You have to do labour for nīcabhaṅga for Jupiter. Don’t run after gemstone all the time. See what the planet is demanding. And do what he is telling you to do and you will get the results. You have to do work, gemstone will not do your work. Śani demands hardwork, solid hardwork. And when today you look back, your life has completely transformed. That Guru is so nice. I will not call that a bad Guru. Some other day someone was arguing me how can Śrī Kṛṣṇa have Guru in Makara. I thought they are fool. A graha in debilitation rāśi means that that thing will be completely fallen when you are born. Either you can destroy it completely or you can save it and lift it. She has debilitated Jupiter in Rāśi chart, and has got nīcabhaṅga. So she will see it. She was living in a temple, and she was cooking for the bhoga of Kṛṣṇa, and doing everything over there. Mahābhārata is the opposite thing of spirituality because that is a war. Kṛṣṇa had to do that to re-establish dharma, so, debilitated Jupiter means you will be challenged in spiritual matters whether you choose this way or that way, is to be seen. So, the labour you did, it was a tapasyā. Śani is a tapasvi, if he had not put you into tapasyā, you had not become spiritual. My Ātmakāraka is Śani. I would not have become the Jyotishi that I am if Śani would not have beaten me up like he did in his daśā. He made me slog it out.
Student: In Śani Mahādaśā and Jupiter antardaśā,(…)
Guruji: See, that happened in Śani-Guru. So, your Guru also had made you work very hard. That is why you learned. You don’t get knowledge until you bow down to Guru. This is parampara Jyotish. Look at Kṛṣṇa’s horoscope, Dharma-karmādhipati yoga, is 9th and 10th house yoga, Jupiter and Mercury. Without Jupiter, how will this Mercury come. You need to have Guru, without that it cannot come to you. You need not have a Guru in physical body. Ekalavya got knowledge from a statue. But he did a mistake. You cannot make a statue of a living person, its a sin. That is why his thumb was cut. Dronacharya did not do wrong. He was right. Thumb is Guru.
Student: Statue of living Guru is wrong, what about a picture
Guruji: That is not wrong. But photos were not there at that time. It is wrong to make a statue of living person and worship it. you should worship Guru if Guru is living. And if Guru is living far away and you are not able to meet him, then you can take some rice and put supārī on it, and then worship it as a representation of your Guru, with proper mantras. First of all, photo pūjā is something very brand new. Photo worship is new, hardly 300 years. The first person who got pictures of God, was Rāja Ravi Varma. Pūjā is only done of a Mūrti after prāṇa pratiṣṭhā.
So, your question is clear now.
Any more questions?
Student: How to use Kālacakra in kuṇḍalī?
Guruji: Kālacakra is used in daśā, and we also use it in Varshaphala. In Varshaphala, if three graha come in one stick, that is dangerous. If it is towards Yama, then it is definitely dangerous. If it is on Kubera’s side, then it is financial trouble. If it is in Īśāna Koṇa, then Vidya is in problems. If it is in Varuṇa Koṇa, then problems will come into your personal life. If it is in Agni Koṇa, then there is definitely a problem in marriage or love etc. Depending which chakra, and which day. Then the deity of that direction is worshipped to solve that problem. It is also in Daśā, like Kālacakra daśā.
Student: In my son’s horoscope, there is exchange between 9th and 10th. Makara is Lagna, so, Venus is debilitated in 9th house. Mercury in 10th house. He has joined Animation and Multimedia course. So, debilitated Venus will cause success or a failure in this field?
Guruji: Tell me one thing. Is Jaimini right or wrong? Tasmin ucce nīce vā śrīmantaḥ. In Kali Yuga, Jaimini Ṛṣi has said for Kali Yuga, an exalted or debilitated Graha gives śrī. Either an exalted Graha or a debilitated Graha can give you Śrī. Or 2nd lord forms Śrīmanta Yoga in Lagna or 7th bhāva. Śrī means name, fame, reputation, success, wealth, property.
Student: I fear that it would not be nice.
Guruji: Why?
Student: Because 10th lord is nīca.
Guruji: 10th lord and 5th lord are debilitated, don’t forget the other lordship. 6th and 9th lord is in 10th house. Where is Ārūḍha Lagna?
Student: Vṛścika.
Guruji: So, from Vṛścika, Scorpio, it is in the 11th. 11th is the house of income. Śukra will give him money. Nīca Graha in 11th from Ārūḍha Lagna gives so much wealth.
Student: He did not listen to me and chose that.
Guruji: Good that he did not listen to you. This Śukra will make him rich. And you would have put him in Mercury direction?
Student: I told him to do PGDM.
Guruji: See, that’s the direction of Mercury, and you would have thought since Mercury is in 10th house, that’s good for him. But that is in 12th from Ārūḍha Lagna. The person should go in that direction where he can get income. Today morning, someone came with his chart. For 20 years, he was making movies and this thing. How much money he would have wasted of his father. So much money would have been spent in buying those big cameras, and costly actors and actresses. I told him, “First, throw these things, and no more of this movie acting drama. Stop all this.” He is from Hollywood. Madness. I told him to do real estate business. Because a person should do what can bring money. Likewise, your son will earn a lot in this. What is his age?
Student: He has just completed 12th and joined that course.
Guruji: Moon is in 9th, he will earn at an early age. He will settle by 22 age. And frankly, he will earn so much that you would never have imagined.
Student: Candra-Śukra Yoga is not good.
Guruji: Do you even have an idea how powerful that Yoga is? I consider Candra-Śukra Yoga as the most powerful Yoga in terms of wealth.
Student: What if they are in 1-7 mutually?
Guruji: That is not equally good. Do you have any idea how much money is involved? Be it any Yuga, Śukra always has money. So, he will earn a lot of money. But give him an emerald.
Student: Mercury is with nīca Sūrya.
Guruji: Give him an emerald.
Student: You suggested once, so I gave him an emerald once. He wore it for a few days, and then removed it.
Guruji: Has he got a girlfriend?
Student: Not yet, nothing now.
Guruji: He will be very lucky after marriage, because Venus is in 9th. Śukra has nīcabhaṅga here and has exchange with Budha. If a bad Śukra is in 9th, bad luck can come from marriage. But here Śukra is not bad. He is so clear on what his aim is. He will do it with passion and succeed in it.
Student: ((…))
Guruji: Śukra alone in 9th is good. But Śukra with Sūrya in 9th can be very bad. Sun is different, you have to understand. Sun controls Venus. When Sun is with Venus, Venus cannot be free in doing whatever he wants to do. Venus has to work within the limits set by Sūrya. In horoscopes where Śukra is far away from Sun, there can be problems in marriage or relationship because either their attitude or their partner’s attitude is not habitual of being within limits. These limits are social limits. Śukra goes out of these limits. It can make you extremely spiritual also. Highest bhakti comes only when Śukra is far away from Sūrya. Or it can cause extreme divorce also. Both situations are possible. But with Sūrya, Śukra stays within limits. In 9th house what is happening, Śukra with Sūrya will get totally finished. Basically, Śukra has no business of being in 9th house. If it has gone there, then it means that your wife will dominate after marriage because you keep her as a Devī in home. That is why luck comes after marriage. With Sun, Śukra in 9th can cause terrible financial hardships. Sūrya and Śukra combination in the 5th or the 9th house gives serious financial hardships after marriage. This is the case when Sūrya is strong among the two. But if Śukra is strong, there won’t be such financial hardships. Śukra in 5th house with Sūrya is bad if Sūrya is stronger, because after marriage, wife and mother will fight, and the native will be stuck between the two, balancing the two.
Student: In case of adopted children, their date of birth is not available. How to do that?
Guruji: It can be done through Naṣṭa Jātaka, which has some methods and they work if you follow them.
- It has to be within the last one or two days from the date of birth.
- Navāṃśa Lagna in Kendra to Māṇḍī.
- So many rules are there.
It is good fun to make Naṣṭa Jātaka (lost horoscopy). Last night I had done for some lady who has just adopted a girl from China. I told her, “You will adopt a boy in future.” She said, “No, we won’t, we have decided.” I said, “You had decided in past to not adopt a child, but you have adopted now. So, you will adopt a son in future, note it down.” I enjoy Naṣṭa Jātaka a lot.
Student: How can we learn it?
Guruji: There is a beautiful book on Naṣṭa Jātaka by Mukunda Daivajña.
Student: I have a horoscope of an adopted girl.
Guruji: What’s the time?
Student: (Gurvi Sarbani ji:): It is exactly 5 past 1.
Student: It is 1:13 p.m.
Guruji: What does your watch say?
Student: 1:14 p.m.
Guruji: This is the girl’s chart?
Student: Yes, this is the adopted girl child, adopted by rich people. Two years back, at the age of 71, she married a security guard who was working in Ireland.
Guruji: I took Vṛṣabha Lagna.
Student: You took Vṛṣabha Lagna? 9th lord and 10th lord is going to 6th house in exaltation. 4th lord is in 10th house, so separated from mother. Ārūḍha Lagna is going to Makara. Vṛścika Rāśi is correct. This is Navāṃśa Lagna?
Student: No, no, no. How can I make Navāṃśa just now?
Guruji: You should make a chart of Vṛṣabha Lagna in Rāśi chart. And try to see where the (…) Candra should be vargottama, if possible. This is definitely Vṛṣabha Lagna; there is no doubt on it. Extremely good-looking girl. She is very good-looking, she must be. Complexion will be dark; definitely Ārūḍha has come to Makara. Lord of Ārūḍha Lagna is exalted. This is what has happened: Ārūḍha Lagna’s lord Śani is exalted, so although she was adopted, she was homeless, yet she is now adopted by such a rich home. Suppose we take Vṛṣabha Lagna, Ārūḍha has come to Makara, and Śani is exalted. So, Śani completely changed her bhāgya. A9 has come to Meṣa and in 3rd from Sūrya. Upapāda is coming here with Sūrya in 10th house. 7th lord from Śukra, Budha, is again coming to Kumbha. But the man that woman has married, is he good-looking?
Student: Yes.
Guruji: Hmm…
Student: She was adopted in Śukra daśā, if we take that…
Guruji: The 7th lord has come to 11th house in Mīna, Maṅgala is with Śukra. It is a straight case. Love marriage of Maṅgala and Śukra. Maṅgala is totally working, he is security guard.
Student: But now they have fallen apart.
Guruji: Upapāda is in 10th house and AL is in Makara, 9th house. Ārūḍha Lagna and Upapāda are in dvir-dvādaśa, 2-12. 2nd house from Upapāda is having Maṅgala-Śukra. That means the person she has married has another Śukra somewhere else. It is not a possibility, but it is a certainty for sure.
Student: So, that guy has another affair?
Guruji: Yes, she also has another affair because Maṅgala is in the 2nd from Upapāda. Next one will come from Kanyā Lagna or trines to Kanyā. Take Vṛṣabha Lagna, it’s bull’s-eye correct. Your watch is correct.
Student: You did that from watch?
Guruji: Yes. I asked you time, and from that I caught Vṛṣabha Lagna.
Student: How?
Guruji: Take the watch. If Minute is between 0 to 5, then catch mesh Lagna, 5 to 10 is Vṛṣabha. 10 to 15 is Mithun. Like this take 12 Rāśi. I asked the time, and you told 1:05 has been crossed and this was told by two ladies. I was like, “Sarasvatī Mā Devī”. So, it was between 5 to 10, so Vṛṣabha. But I first tried both here. I tried Mithuna also, and Vṛṣabha also. Vṛṣabha is giving correct result. Mithuna is not giving correct result. This works fast, you cannot even imagine. This is a very simple system of my village. My Gurudev did so many different different such things, you cannot even imagine. And sometimes, someone will come and ask a question, from that question, he would catch the Lagna and immediately start working further. I was shocked. I would make Janma kuṇḍalī and all, and in just small time, he would go so fast. Then I realised, “the person asking the question has already told the Lagna, why should I beat my head. That person will tell the Lagna”.
Student: ((…))
Guruji: See, take Vṛṣabha Lagna and see the grahas, Whole picture would become clear. 3rd lord in 7th house, and 8th lord in 7th house, Ketu in 8th house is a mistake. papa kartari is on 7th house. 7th lord in 11th. But navāṃśa Lagna should be Vṛścika, she has not got mother’s milk. Candra should be in Vṛścika navāṃśa, so, vargottama Candra is there, that means
Student: She told her adopting mother, “I came from gutter, and I will go back to gutter”.
Her mother told her, “I never told you that I adopted you”. A yoga is forming if we take Dhanu Lagna, 3rd lord in 11th which makes her the eldest.
Guruji: In Vṛṣabha Lagna too, it is confirming, Makara is Ārūḍha so generally such natives are the eldest. It is more clear in this case because Jupiter is went to 11th from Ārūḍha with nīca Moon. I was also telling this in previous case, nīca Candra in 11th Ārūḍha Lagna, and look at her, how rich.
I am telling you, even if one nīca graha is in 11th from Ārūḍha Lagna, blessings of Lakṣmī Mā come on the native. Her birth mother had thrown her, but Lakṣmī Mā has given her such a good life.
Student: Are nīca graha good from ārūḍha?
Guruji: It depends on where that nīca graha is with respect to Ārūḍha Lagna. It should be in 11th from ārūḍha. If nīca graha is in 12th from Ārūḍha, it means even if Lakṣmī Mā gives you wealth, you yourself will reject the wealth.
Student: If I take Vṛścika Lagna, then 7th lord is exalted.
Guruji: If you take that then 7th lord is exalted, and husband should have been a big man. But her husband is security guard. Here, you take Vṛṣabha Lagna, and there are two lords, Maṅgala and Ketu. Ketu shows mistake, 7th lord in 8th, she did a mistake marrying a security guard. Ketu is in 8th, so, she has to break that marriage. You please make that horoscope with Vṛṣabha Lagna and Moon should be vargottama in Vṛścika. That gives you time. And try to correct the Navāṃśa Lagna, and finally apply this rule:
“Navāṃśa Lagna should be in kendra to Māṇḍī”. Calculation for this Māṇḍī should be “middle of the Saturn’s period”. There are options for this calculation in softwares. You should take the rise of Māṇḍī at “middle of Saturn’s period”.
This is a compulsory rule. It is a compulsory rule of Naṣṭa Jātaka. You have to do some hardwork. Then you will get two or three options, then we can catch the navāṃśa Lagna. You bring that, and we will see which Navāṃśa Lagna is most right. But Rāśi Lagna will be Vṛṣabha, that is 100% correct.
Student: What is the calculation option for gulika?
Guruji: For gulika, there are two options one is “beginning of Saturn’s period” & second is “at the end of Saturn’s period”. I have found “end of Saturn’s period”, is the correct calculation option for Gulika. Gulika Kala comes after Śani’s Kala. And if we take it as a point. So, it will come when Saturn’s period will end. So, taking it as a starting point of Saturn’s period or as a middle of Saturn’s period, will be difficult. If we take the Gulika Kala after Śani-kala, so that means it is a period of time, and is the eighth period. So, should we take Gulika at the starting of period or ending of period? Technically, we should take it in beginning. That is gulika kala.
Now what is Māṇḍī? Māṇḍī is a poison that we have given to other people. It is our own bad karmas. So, that must come inside Saturn’s period.
Gulika is that poison, that we have sown and so shall we reap.
Māṇḍī is that poison, that we have given to others.
Why did your birth happen? Māṇḍī HAS TO BE in Navāṃśa’s Kendras, for a lost horoscopy. It is compulsory. Otherwise, it cannot happen that your mother leaves and throws you. It cannot be. Only Māṇḍī can do this, that Mom leaves and throws the Child. No other graha can do this. Because it is bhagya, this is important part of bhagya that her own mother left her and threw her. Normally, father can leave, the world can leave you. But, Mom can never leave.
