Sudasa Calculation and Exercise (Re: Sudasas/businessman)

---------------------------

 

 

 

Dear Sanjiv and others,

 

Here is a quick guide to Sudasa calculation.

 

* * *

 

Om Sriyai Namaha

 

INTRODUCTION

 

I am going to throw some more light on Sudasa below. Before I do that, here

is

a

word of caution. Sudasa is a purely materialistic dasa. It shows money and

power. Goal of astrologers should be to help clients in their material

pursuits

and at the same time lead to their spiritual growth. Relying too much on

Sudasa

may not lead to proper guidance, as it is a materialistic dasa. So please

refrain from using it too much. Use it only when needed.

 

In addition to this article, read Sanjay's two books I mentioned, for

definition

and examples of Sudasa.

 

DEFINITION: SREE LAGNA

 

Find the constellation occupied by natal Moon. Find the fraction traversed

by

Moon in that constellation. Find the same fraction of the zodiac (360

degrees).

Add that to natal lagna. The result is called "Sree Lagna" (SL). Sree means

"prosperous" and it also stands for "Goddess Lakshmi", who is in charge of

money

in Hindu mythology.

 

EXAMPLE: I gave an example in a previous mail and Sanjiv used it as a

'template'

to create another example by changing numbers:

 

> I will attempt a detail calculation of my sudasa per your instructions. I

will

> appreciate if you could confirm my calculations.

>

> Reference: March 20, 1966; Calcutta, India.

 

Sanjiv's birthtime: 9:40 am (IST)

 

> (1) Moon is at 13:28:51 in Aq. He is in Satabhishak constellation which

starts

> at 6:40:0 in Aq.

 

In the two examples so far, Moon is in Satabhishak constellation and it

starts

from 6:40:0 in Aq. You will need to be familiar with the starting points of

various constellations.

 

Even if you don't know this, you can easily figure it out if you have a

program

that shows Moon's longitude, nakshatra and pada (quarter). Quarters of

constellations start from longitudes that look like xx0:0:0, xx3:20:0 and

xx6:40:0 (deg:min:sec). If your program tells you that Moon is at 21:34:17

(in

Sg) in Poorvashadha 3rd pada (quarter), you can easily figure out that the

3rd

quarter starts at 20:0:0, 2nd quarter at 16:40:0 and 1st quarter at 13:20:0.

So

Moon's advancement in constellation is 21:34:17 minus 13:20:0 = 8:14:17.

 

> (2) His advancement in his constellation is 13:28:51 minus 6:40:0 =

6:48:51

> (3) His advancement as a fraction is: (6+48/60+51/3600)/13.333333333 =

> (6.8141666667)*3/40 = 0.5110625 (Note: 13.3333 degrees is the length of a

> constellation and it is equal to 40/3).

> (4) This fraction of the zodiac (360 degrees) is 0.5110625*360 = 183.9825

> degrees, i.e. 183 deg 58 min 57 sec.

> (5) We have to add this (183:58:57) to lagna (46:03:42).

> (6) We get 231:01:39, i.e. 21 deg 01 min 39 sec in SCORPIO. This is the

> longitude

> of "Sree Lagna", which initiates Sudasa. (Note: Sree means "prosperous"

and

it

> also stands for "Goddess Lakshmi", who is in charge of money in Hindu

> mythology.) PLEASE CONFIRM MY CALCULATIONS!!!

 

Upto step 5, everything is perfect. You made a mistake in step 6. Check your

addition. You forwarded a carry from seconds to degrees directly. The answer

should be 230:02:39, i.e. 20 deg 2 min 39 sec in Scorpio.

 

DEFINITION (CONTD)

 

Find the distance from SL (Sree Lagna) to the end of the sign containing it.

Divide it by 30. That fraction represents the remainder of the first dasa

(dasa

running at birth). In Sanjiv's case, it should be (30:0:0-20:2:39)/(30:0:0)=

9.95583333/30.0= 0.33186111.

 

DASA LENGTHS

 

Find the lengths of various dasas *just as in* Narayana dasa. Please refer

to

my

previous posts on Narayana dasa, especially the one giving rules. In the

case

of

dual lords, you have to choose the stronger lord just as in Narayana dasa.

 

As far as finding the lengths of the dasas of various signs is concerned,

there

is no difference between Narayana dasa and Sudasa. The only difference is

that

the first dasa is reduced in Sudasa. Find the remainder in first dasa at

birth

by multiplying dasa years with the fraction found above.

 

In Sanjiv's case, Scorpio has SL. Ketu occupies SL and so we should take the

second lord, Mars. He is in Pisces, 5th from Sc. So Sc dasa is for 5-1=4

years.

However, we have to multiply this with 0.33186111 (see above) and

4x0.33186111

=

1.32744444 years, i.e. 1 yr 3 mo 27.88 da.

 

This is the duration of Sc dasa.

 

[Note: After all the 12 dasas are over, we start the second cycle. Sum of

the

first cycle and second cycle of ANY rasi's dasa is 12 years. So Sc dasa in

second cycle will be 10 yr 8 mo 2.12 da]

 

DASA SEQUENCE

 

Based on whether SL is in an odd or even rasi, dasas will progress in

forward

or

backward order (respectively). First, dasas of 4 quadrants will run (1st,

4th,

7th and 10th); then dasas of 4 panaparas will run (2nd, 5th, 8th, 11th); and

then dasas of 4 apoklimas will run (3nd, 6th, 9th, 12th).

 

Example 1: If SL is in Ge (an odd sign), direction is "forward" (zodiacal).

Dasa

sequence will be Ge, Vi, Sg, Pi (qudrants over), Cn, Li, Cp, Ar (panaparas

over), Le, Sc, Aq and Ta (apoklimas over).

 

Example 2: If SL is in Cn (an even sign), direction is "backward"

(anti-zodiacal). Dasa sequence will be Cn, Ar, Cp, Li (qudrants over), Ge,

Pi,

Sg, Vi (panaparas over), Ta, Aq, Sc, Le (apoklimas over). Note that

quadrants,

panaparas and apoklimas are all being reckoned in the backward

(anti-zodiacal)

order here.

 

Go through these two examples carefully and you will understand the dasa

sequence rule very clearly.

 

ANTARDASAS

 

Find them *just as in* Narayana dasa.

 

INTERPRETATION

 

Some examples have already been given and some more will be given in time.

See

Sanjay's second book for a couple of excellent examples.

 

Give importance to arudha lagna (AL) as this is a materialistic dasa. For

example, 12th from AL shows expenditure and losses and 11th from AL shows

gains.

This is why Jaimini referred planets in 11th and 12th from AL when talking

about

gains and gains.

 

* * *

 

Those who are interested in Sudasa can now compute it for Sanjiv's chart.

Most

of the calculations have already been given. SL is at 20:2:39 in Scorpio and

Sc

dasa's remainder at birth is 1 yr 3 mo 27.88 da. Other dasa years will be as

in

Narayana dasa. YOU have to find the dasa sequence and compute individual

dasas.

 

Data again: 20th March 1966, 9:40 am (IST), Calcutta, India (88e22, 22n32)

 

Compute dasas upto 2000. Then explain the following data (written by

Sanjiv):

 

> Since Aug '94 a downward trend in regards to my finances started which

> was realized by Aug'95. By May'96 it had reached its peak. But then,

> of apx. $75, 000. I am still in the process of settling the accounts.

 

Don't go upto antardasas and explain JUST using DASAS why financial troubles

started around Aug 1994. Try your best to come up with a credible argument.

IF

you give it your best shot, I will come to your help!

 

May Jupiter's light shine on us,

Narasimha
