Navāṃśa- Dharmāṃśa. (001_A_001)

What is the connection between your wife and your brothers? How does he have four brothers? So because of privartana yoga. So, Mangal and Budha are having parivartana and we are seeing Budha instead of Mangal. Good. Sure? Who among you all had parivartana of Surya and Ketu? Then why we saw Ketu and did not saw Surya? Then no one saw one instead of other? So, why now you are seeing another instead of the one?
Why are you seeing number of brothers from here? Are we seeing number of brothers from here? Did we count number of wives? So, where did we get the number? We took the lord. We took the dispositor. Say “that” to me. I wanted to hear “that”. I did not want to hear that this is happening because of parivartana. Rohini Ji! I wanted to hear that you took the lord to check the number of brother. Parivartana cannot happen between karaka (significators). Budha cannot become Bhrātṛkāraka if he is in parivartana with Mangal. Parivartana is of lordship, parivartana is not of karaka. The parivartana of karaka has totally different meaning. Am I being clear on this? Mangal is in house of Budha, and Budha is in house of Mangal, this is exchange of houses, not of karakatva (significatorship).
When does karaka-parivartana take place? Suppose, Mangal is in 10th from Lagna and Budha is in 3rd from Lagna. Then, karaka parivartana will take place. You can say that because Mangal is significator of 3rd house, is going and sitting in 10th house whose karaka is Budha while Budha is sitting in 3rd house whose karaka is Mangal.
This case has exchange of Rashi/Bhava. Am I fine and clear? We are not confusing. How does he behave with brothers? Mangal is in 9th, whichever karaka is in trikona, will always flourish. The karaka which is in kendra, will have highest impact upon you in your life. The karaka which is in dusthana, you have to bear pain from that karakatva. This is a very simple rule of Navamsa. You are receiving pain from this karakatva in dusthana, because you don’t like it/him/her. The problem is in you not in them. The karaka which is in dusthana, will definitely be a source of problem and pain. You take it from me.
For example, Shani is considered to be good in 6th house in Rashi. But in Navamsa, Shani is bad in 6th house, you take it from me! Because the karakatva of Shani will be a source of pain and problem. You will have trouble from subordinates. Because Shani is the karaka of subordinates. All this to be read from Navāṃśa Lagna. This is not from kārakāṁśa.
You take the dispositor of kāraka and you will get the number. Alright?
A case: Śukra is in Makara Navāṃśa and the dispositor Shani is in Navāṃśa Lagna. Is it good or bad? It is good because the trines of Navāṃśa are considered good. Whichever graha that is sitting in trikona of Navāṃśa Lagna, will be considered as a good one. Because it is Shani, the dispositor of Śukra, and is sitting in Navāṃśa Lagna, it is good for marriage. Śukra signifies marriage. How many planets are aspecting Shani? None. So, only one husband. (take Rashi dṛṣti).
That person has dispositor of Mangal, i.e., Budha, receiving Rashi drsti from three graha, i.e., Surya, Rahu and Ketu. So, he has got three brothers. It is dangerous rule, you can know many things. We are talking about brothers not about sisters. Budha’s dṛṣti may not have been very strong that’s why he may be treating a friend as a brother. This is the rule that shows how many of these people have direct impact on your life. Sometimes in life, what happens is that somebody has brothers but they are not impacting his life at all. This is about what is in the bhāgya. The person may be completely gone away from them and has not impact on native’s life. The exact number of brothers we get in Rashi’s Drekkana. But what is their impact on my life, is seen from Navāṃśa.
Ultimately, Navāṃśa boils down to bhāgya, the impact it is having on my bhāgya. Like I said “guru”: guru has the power to alter my bhāgya because by giving me a mantra I’m going on a different life, my life is completely changed. I’m changing from one mode to another mode, I’m switching a mode in between. From taking a path of the Sun to take a path of Venus, is very difficult. It is very-very difficult. A person has to change internally. From being like Agni tattva, the person has to become like Jala tattva, is actually very difficult. Like it is very difficult for me. But it is good for me.
What is bhāgya? The life’s path can change because of Navāṃśa . It will have huge impact on my life. This is actually what we are seeing in Navamsa. The wife is having a strong impact on native’s life, that’s why we check Sukra in Navamsa. Whether guru is impacting native’s life or not. Whether mother and father are having any impact on life or not. In the case of abandoned or orphan children, mother and father are not having any impact on life. This is the kāraka-rule of Jaimini and it is a very important rule. Using this rule we can correct Navāṃśa. Sūraj (Sūrya) will have no impact on life if one’s father has gone away or died. Surya cannot have any impact in the Navamsa. If mother has gone away or died, there is no impact of Moon in Navamsa. In these cases, we check the dispositor or sun and dispositor of Moon. Surya may be strong as a planet giving him political knowledge. But we are checking the dispositor for “people”. Dispositor of Venus to check impact of spouse (husband or wife). Dispositor of Mangal to check impact of brother. Dispositor of Surya to check impact of father. Suppose if a person has Surya in Makara Navamsa, and if his Shani is badly placed, what will you say about his father? His father will come and be like Shani in his life. The father will be good or bad, depends on the placement and situation of Shani.
Shani can also give Raja-yoga. Do you know? When Shani gives raja-yoga, he takes the form of Yama. Do you know the strength of Yama? If a king has been dethroned by being cheated, or defeated or otherwise, it is the strength of Yama to give this Throne back to this King. Yama can give-back your raja-yoga, gives back your dharma, gives back your dhana (wealth), gives you children, and you will pass away after grandchildren have been born. The things you have been wanting in life, Shani can give provided Shani took that form. That’s why “varena-kshetra”. The madhyam of Mesa Rashi, is very auspicious for Shani. This madhyam (middle) of Mesa Rashi is Bharani Nakṣatra. The devata of Bharani Nakṣatra is Yama. It is Dharma-Raja. Worship with Dharmaraja mantra.
Student Question: We are taking the dispositor. How can we ignore the planet conjoining that karaka?
Sanjay Rath’s response: Of course we cannot ignore the planet conjoining the karaka. But we are taking the dispositor for number. How many graha are there?
Student response: Moon and Jupiter are conjoining with Budha and Sūrya, Rahu and Ketu have Rashi drsti on Budha.
Sanjay Rath’s response: So, he can have up to five brothers. How many of these will be born from same mother and how many will come as friends and relatives and become like brothers; that you have to see from Drekkana and Rashi chart. But there will be five people who will be like brothers for him in his life. This is very important.
So, what we talked about is the house and karaka. If there is a relation between house and kāraka, then you get wife or husband from there (example Śukra). How will be the graha for him or her we take from karaka but the number of such people is taken from the dispositor. In Navāṃśa, whenever we apply the kāraka rule, we only see kendra i.e., 1, 4, 7, or 10; you have to choose one of these kendra.
Here are talking about guru. The house of guru is 9th house. 9th house is in the trikona of Lagna. So, whichever graha is having yoga with Navamsa Lagna, will become guru. We are not seeing moksha from 12th house from Ketu. We are seeing mukti (moksha) from 12th house of Atmakaraka. We will take 7th house in 7th house itself. We will take 3rd house in 7th house and take 11th house in 7th house. In Navāṃśa, the kendra are very important. The controlling houses are the kendra, because they are having direct impact upon your life. If a graha can not influence the kendra of Navāṃśa, it cannot impact your life.
Student question: so, for occupation we see 10th house and Mercury?
Guruji response: Yes, for occupation, we check and see the 10th house and Mercury. For service (job), we see 10th house and Saturn. Now you know why we see 10th house of Navāṃśa for wealth. So, for wealth, we see 10th house and Bṛihaspati. When Jaimini says “planets conjoining Ketu”, he is talking of guru. You are right on the point. If we see 4th house, we are not talking about guru, we are talking about Gati. How will our Gati be? Will it be easy or difficult? Suppose, your Guru gives you a mantra, whether you are doing that mantra or not, and how well you are doing that mantra, we will check this from 4th house. For father, we see Lagna, because 9th house is in trikona of Lagna. For children, we check Lagna. So, we are very clear, we are checking kendra. Why are we doing this? Mathematically, the calculation of Navāṃśa, is from the Rashi itself if it is a chara Rashi. In case of sthira Rashi, it is from 9th Rashi from that Rashi. For Dvisvabhava (dual) Rashi, Navāṃśa counting starts from 5th from that sign. Basically, 1, 5 and 9 are being put in one sign. For 9 degree of Mesa, the Navāṃśa is in Mithuna Navāṃśa, 9 degree of Simha (Leo) is also in Mithuna Navāṃśa, 9 degree of Dhanu (Sagittarius) is also in Mithun Navāṃśa. See: Lagna, Pūtra bhava and dharma bhava have gone in Mithuna Navāṃśa.
Scribe’s note: to understand this, know about bhava cusp. Lagna is at 9 degree, then all the bhava will have bhava cusp at 9th degree. Hence, it explains the concept derived by Guru Sanjay Rath in above arguments.
Pandit Sanjay Rath: So, the Lagna, Pūtra bhava and bhagya bhava of Rashi kundali, have gone in Mithuna Navamsa. Let’s see this for 7th house Tula (Libra). 9th degree of Tula will come in Dhanu Navāṃśa. 11th house, 9th degree of Kumbh, will come in Dhanu Navamsa. 3rd house, 9th degree of Mithuna will also come in Dhanu Navāṃśa.
Scribe’s note: To understand this, we should divide 30 degree of a Rashi in nava + aṃśa; 9 parts. Nava is a Sanskrit word meaning nine. Aṃśa is also a Sanskrit word meaning parts.
So, Navāṃśa divides Rashi into 9 parts. 3-20 x 9 = 30 degree. So, one Navamsa is measured as 3 degree and 20 minutes. So, third Navamsa would start after 6 deg 40 min. i.e., from 6-40-01 to 10deg. 9th degree falls into third Navamsa. First Navamsa of Tula Rashi is Tula Navamsa since Tula is a chara Rashi. So, the second Navamsa is Vrischika and third Navāṃśa is Dhanu. Chara Rashi are Mesa, Karka, Tula and Makara. Sthira Rashi are Vṛṣabha, Simha, Vṛṣcika, and Kumbha. The rest of the four signs are Dvisvabhava Rashi. Similarly, Kumbha is a sthira rashi, so the Navāṃśa counting will start from 9th from Kumbha, i.e., from Tula. Hence, the third Navāṃśa of Kumbha is Dhanu. Similarly, we check for Mithuna. Mithuna is dual sign, hence, the Navāṃśa counting for Mithuna will start for 5th from Mithuna, i.e., from Tula.
Hence, Navāṃśa counting for all rashi will start from the chara rashi that is in the trikona of that rashi. The Navāṃśa counting for Mesa, simha and Dhanu will start from Mesa. The Navamsa counting for Vṛṣabha, Kanya and Makara will start from Makara. The Navāṃśa counting for Mithuna, Tula and Kumbha will start from Tula. And the Navāṃśa counting for Karka, Vṛṣcika and Mina (Pisces) will start from Karka. So, the Navāṃśa counting for every rashi will start from the chara rashi in trikona to that rashi. This is happening because the four chara rashi are called Yuga rashi. Yuga are four: Satya, Treta, Dvapara and Kali yuga. So, Meśa represents Satya yuga. Karka represents Treta yuga. Tula represents Dvapara yuga. Makara represents Kali yuga.
Pandit Sanjay Rath: the controlling house of 7th house, 3rd house and 11th house has come into the 7th house of Navāṃśa. So, 1st house of Navāṃśa controls the 1st house, 5th house and 9th house of Rashi chart. The 10th house of Navāṃśa controls the 2nd house, 6th house and 10th house of Rashi chart. The 4th house of Navamsa controls the 4th house, 8th house and 12th house of Rashi chart. Thus in the 4th house of Navāṃśa we can look for possible diseases in the native. For health, 4th house of Navāṃśa is very important. A shubha graha there protects your body and a ashubha graha sitting in 4th house of Navāṃśa can be detrimental to your health.
This shubha and ashubha in the matter of 4th house of Navāṃśa refers to shant (peaceful) or ashant (not peaceful) graha. For example, a retro graha is totally ashant. It can be very strong, but is ashant, and hence can be detrimental to health. That’s why shanti-path and shanti-mantra are done to pacify this house of Navāṃśa. The more you do these, the better will be your health.
The karaka of 4th house is Chandra and hence signifies shanti (peace). Sukha depends a lot on health. Without good health, even if you have much health, you can’t be at peace and bliss. The reverse is also true, if you stay sad and depressed, you will have bad health soon enough. That’s why astrologers often face health problems, because they keep looking at charts and the problems with them and feel problem of others. That’s why if you want to do Jyotish, be detached. But here comes the dilemma, if you are not detached then your health will go down. But if you stay completely detached, you won’t have any insight from the chart.
Coming back to topic. 7th house of Navāṃśa is also for Mithuna bhava, 7th house of Navāṃśa is also for Labha (gains), 7th house of Navāṃśa is also for friends and spouse. Likewise, as homework, study twelve karaka and twelve houses, from Navāṃśa. Do this home exercise like we did till now in the class. Also find, do I have land in my fortune. Would I live in small hut or a big bungalow? Like you saw just now in the class that the wife has strong Venus and her spouse also has strong Venus. We found out in few seconds. Likewise, check which graha is giving me a home. Can I worship and appease that graha to get a nice home and live peacefully in my home? It is very important. If a graha is giving me a wife, I can have very good marriage by worshiping that graha. Navāṃśa is dharmāṁśa. What should I do in dharma so that I can have a good life? It also gives a clue to the remedy. Check Mars for properties.
Pandit Sanjay Rath: Like we saw Śukra was conjoined three planets. But how any of these had a connection with the 7th house? Only Śukra. So, only Śukra is talking about husband and marriage. Similarly, if Mangal is conjoined many planets, then should see how many of these are having connection with the 7th house. That will be the planets talking about brothers. If none of these have any connection with 7th house, they will not do it. If you have a planet in 3rd house of or influencing 3rd house of Navāṃśa by rashi drsti, then until it influences 7th house of Navāṃśa, it cannot be directly influencing “your” life. So, planets that are not having any link with the kendra of Navāṃśa, are not going to influence your personal life. Karaka of relatives is Mercury. What is the karaka of pets? It is Shani (Saturn). The best thing about a pet is that they remove your aloneness and remove your sadness. So, the karaka of pets is Shani. A pet is really a good remedy for Shani. Have you ever tried to study the type of pet a native will keep? I had a case when a client tested me and asked me “can you see what kind of pet do I have”? I said: “I am not able to say anything about it, please tell me”. He said: “I have a python”. In America, in California, a person had three crocodiles as pets. One of the crocodiles ate one of the brothers of the native. That is how he was caught by the police. So, you also have to check whether the pet will be good or bad towards the native. What will be the disposition of pet towards the native? You can check this by checking the planets conjoining the dispositor of Shani in Navamsa. An animal may be roaming in the jungle it cannot become your pet unless it has some kind of connection with the 10th house of Navamsa, because it is kendra of 6th house.
Done on karaka. Open to questions: –
Pandit Sanjay Rath: Oho! Shani dasha has just started for your son? Please tell the horoscope, these people are experts they can do it in a minute. Let me tell you the greatness of Jaimini. The focus of Jaimini on Navāṃśa is total. No other author has such a focus on Navamsa like Jaimini. Nobody can match him. And he gives sutra for everything. He doesn’t believe in giving general rules. He believes in giving principles. But the student did not have the birth details of her son. So, Pandit Sanjay Rath said, “next time, please get the chart”. See, Shani delayed it.
Pandit Sanjay Rath: questions from last class. A random chart: Ketu is the dispositor of Mangal. It is the co-lord of the third house from the Arudha Lagna. And it is conjoined Sūrya, telling us that is used for assassination, was that of Sūrya, a gun.
The student said: I was trying to map this with numerology.
Pandit Sanjay Rath said: please tell me how you do it.
Student said: I add the date numbers with the number of month and that with the number of year.
Pandit Sanjay Rath said: Do you use Gregorian calendar. Do you know there were two dates in the month of October at some 300 years back, 10 days were omitted between these days. The date after 17-October, was 27-October. Do you know this? The calendar that you using for numerology has 10 days omitted. The method that you are using is correct but the calendar you are using is wrong for numerology. If you want to use numerology, then calculate the number of days that have passed from the start of Kali yuga. Divide this by 7. The remainder is the day number. If you use numerology on Jesus Christ’s chart, then you can’t use this calendar because this calendar wasn’t even present. Gautama Buddha, Chaitanya Maha Prabhu, everyone’s chart will be wrong if you use Gregorian calendar for calculations. This calendar wasn’t even born. Do you know how this calendar is made? The next day after 17 October was 27 October. This was ordered by the pop. Pop ordered the omission of days between 17 and 27 October. Kabbalah system was present before the Gregorian calendar. Julian calendar was to be used for the Kabbalah system. Gregorian was never appropriate for Kabbalah system. Kabbalah system was a beautiful system, but if you use Gregorian calendar for Kabbalah, then it is ruined. Julian date is a totally different date. But Julian calendar also has a mistake inside it. Our Vedic system is best. Calculate the number of days passed from Kali yuga and divide the number by 7. The remainder is the day number. So, it’s good that we talked a bit about numerology. It is not that I don’t know numerology. I have gone in depth of it, learned everything and then, I have come far along. For example, Raghunath Rao wrote me a letter that he wants to read KP Astrology. I used to stop people, but now I say, yes please read it. I even told him four books of KP Astrology. Keep doing it, “sub-lord, sub-sub-lord, sub-sub-sub-lord”. “Do it for two, three years, then we will talk”. (Pandit Sanjay Rath is being sarcastic here).
The number of Mars is nine. They say nine is the number of man and nine is number of God. But that is wrong. In Vedic numerology, seven is the number of God. That’s why we have sapta (seven) loka, sapta tala. Adi Shankara has given exact 700 verses. Saptashati is there, describing 700 shlokas of chandi-path. Seven number is so important. Octave is the first repetition of sapta. Agni courses in seven talas. That’s why there are seven days in week. Because agni goes in this order. Agni is life. Once Agni is gone from body, you are dead. Let’s do numerology in next class. Numbers of the planets and how to find the lucky number, etc.
What is a calendar? In western system, the calendar starts from the birth of Jesus Christ. Gregorian calendar starts from birth of Jesus Christ. In Sanskrit, it is called chritaabda. It counts the number of days since Christ was born. But unfortunately, evidences are being found, that this calendar starts on a wrong date. Actually, Christ was born 25BC. So, was Christ born 25 years before Christ was born? What rubbish! So, which Christ are you talking about? And which Christ are you following? Normally, the calendars were based on the great personages whom you wish to follow. For example, the calendar that starts from the birth of Chaitanya Mahaprabhu, is called Gauranga. His name was Gauranga. One calendar is shakabda, it was when Chandragupta VikRamaditya sat on the throne. Varahamihira was his astrologer. Shakabda calender was introduced by Varahamihira. Shakabda was not there before Varahamihira. Shakabda is followed in India these days. This Shakabda calendar, is not from Rishis. I am very clear on that. Everyone in India is following Shakabda. The shakabda followed in north India and the Shakabda followed in South India are approximately off by 80 years. This is the calender system that is going on.
Please understand the concept. Leaving all the individual ego behind, there should be a non-individualistic approach towards this. Rishis have recommended that one should start the count from the starting day of Kali yuga. Rishis have suggested that we should not calculate time with reference to a person. To that extent, even Varahamihira has made a big blunder. Varahamihira was considered to be such a great astrologer. Since he made a new calendar, because of this people today have forgotten how many days have passed since start of Kali yuga. Varahamihira was the first one who obstructed the correct calculation of the Kali yuga. And because of him, people have forgotten. If he hadn’t done that, people would have kept adding day by day, year by year and would have preserved the Kali yuga calendar. Or the Kali Calendar. This is the mistake that Varahamihira made. So, the correct way to calculate a calendar is to follow the rishis by doing it on the basis of the Kali yuga not by some king or queen or Gauranga. We should go by purely astronomical factors. Kali yuga started on a Pratipada, Krishna passed away on a Tritiya. So it cannot be on the same day. So, people say that Krishna passed away and Kali yuga started at exactly the same moment. But it is not so. The going away of Shri Krishna and coming of Kali yuga was a simultaneous process. But Kali yuga started on Pratipada and Shri Krishna passed away on Tritiya. Krishna passed away right at the time when Moon was in kanya. This is my research. A very good source for these kind of calculations is B V Raman’s book, Hindu Astrology. B V Raman has revealed the traditional method to calculate the number of time that has passed since start of Kali yuga. It is pretty simple method. He has revealed it. That method is the correct method for numerology. Don’t follow any other method. That can help us find out Vara, Tithi etc everything. It is a beautiful system. So, we have cleared the topic of calendars and which calendar to follow.
Now, Numbers and Planets:
Guruji Sanjay Rath: First number, number 1, is always assigned to the Surya. Remember one thing. The decimal system was devised by India and not by foreigners. Our first record of the decimal system was by Aryabhata. We can’t say that he devised it. It is recorded that he was first. But it can’t be said that he devised it. The decimal system had come down from rishis. He was the first one to open the secrets. The decimal system was very well known to the rishis, and it is called the “Navagraha System”. Nava means nine. The word graha in Sanskrit has a numerical value of 9. The numerical value of the Sanskrit word “tattva” is 5. Some Sanskrit words have numerical value. The word Muni has a numerical value of 7. Number 7 has power of Muni. The numerical value of Sanskrit word “brahman”, is 3 (Jupiter). Zero was given great importance, was called Shunya. There is a whole book written by Achyutananda Das, whose Parampara I belong to, called Shunya Samhita. The whole thing is about zero. The one who understand zero completely, will get Mukti. Nine numbers are for nine Grahas and are nine types of bondages (grahana). Lagna is Shunya. There is no grahana on Lagna, no bondage on Lagna. Lagna is pure dhi. Panchama bhava (5th house) is also free from bondages and is pure chitta. Dhi is in Lagna, chitta is in putra bhava (5th bhava). Nine planets and Lagna are like ten numbers, that keep on revolving. Think of it like slot machine, Lagna is shunya and moves the fastest, while other nine graha, all of them are moving in the wheel. That wheel is moving but you can’t see it, and one by one bondage is done by these planets. Like in a slot machine, you can see only one number, but there is a wheel in that slot machine, that is the cause of change in number in display. Likewise, you are being bonded by a number. I am trying to explain to you how these graha do grahana, (bondage). Keep reading my blogs. They form the basics to these classes. The number means that when that number activates, Surya will grab you. Like you told me a date. When you think about that number, the graha pertaining to that number will start influencing you. Shunya is always Lagna, and all numerology systems agree on this. One is considered Surya in all the numerology systems. The number, 2, is considered Moon in all systems. Why? Because they are clearly visible in the sky, so, they are the priorities. I have started number counting from zero and not from one. The number, 3, is Jupiter, who teaches us good things. The number, 4, is Rahu, who teaches bad things. The number, 5, is Budha, is “me” who is learning good and bad things. The numbers 3, 4, 5, are the bala Avastha, childhood when my life was about my teachers, my naughty friends and me. These three numbers dominate the life of a school going child. After that came the adulthood, the number 6, represented by Shukra. The spouse comes at this stage and become the priority. Ketu represents number 7. Ketu represents “kulasya Unnati”, the advancement of family, the progress of family. Then comes the number 8, Shani, duḥkha, pain, sadness and aloneness. At last, number 9 comes, represented by Mangal. This signifies death, death is signified by Mangal. At this stage, you are alone. When you die, you are alone, nobody goes with you. That why number nine is the last number. This was your first lesson in Vedic Numerology. The power of nine is that you can add whichever number to nine, that number will dissolve in nine. Example, 9 + 7 = 16. 1 + 6 = 7. So, 9 has dissolved 7. That’s how nine represents Mangal, representing death. So, the basic lesson is that we have to view numbers with the personal perspective, with zero, 0, in the beginning. Had anybody ever told you this?
