Guest guest Posted May 22, 1999 Report Share Posted May 22, 1999 Jaya Jagannath Dear Robert-ji, Namaskar. My comments are as under: - > Namaste Narasimha and Sanjay, > > In Sanjay's books, he has described the Narayana dasa, and Sudasa, as the > best of Phalita dasas. Just so that the computation methods are clear, > could you please respond to the following questions regarding unclear > points with regard to calculation, that are given in "Jaimini Upadesa > Sutras" (JUS), and "Crux of Astrology" (COA): > > 1. NARAYANA DASA > > So far, with Narasimha's kind help, readers of this list and I have been > able to ascertain the correct calculation of dasas, their sequence or > orders, as well as lengths. The sub-periods are clear now also. It is > also clear now how to calculate varga Narayana dasas - Narasimha has been > very helpful on this procedure as well. Can, however, you give > confirmation on the following: > > * Dasas periods containing KETU, should be reversed. That is, the order > of dasas beginning form the sign having Ketu, should be reversed; and the > dasa's years, counted from the sign having Ketu, will also be reversed. > *Correct*, or *Incorrect*? SRATH: Yes, this is based on the "Vipareetam" dictum for Ketu. > * Dasas periods containing SATURN, will always be forward, zodiacally. > That is, the order of dasas beginning from the sign having Saturn, will > always be forward, even if they are even signs. Determination of years > for such dasas having Saturn, will also be counted in forward, zodiacal > direction. *Correct*, or *Incorrect*? SRATH: Yes, based on the dictum "SANAUCHE TYEKE" > *The above applies to major, as well as sub-periods. *Correct*, or > *Incorrect*? > * The Paramayush for Rasi dasas, including Narayana and Chara, is 120, > instead of 144 years. Should this be used? SRATH: Yes, this was taught and this is what I have used in my calculations in all published articles till now, although I am experimenting (Toying with the idea) of 144 Years. > SUDASA > > *The calculation of the Sri lagna (from which the dasas initiate), is > clear in COA. The calculation of balance of the first dasas (which is > unique to this Jaimini dasa system) is also clear. However, there is > confusion on the exact order of dasas thus: > > On page 218 of JUS, Sanjay, you state that "If the Sri lagna is in an odd > sign, the Sudasas beginning from the Sri lagna shall be regular and > zodiacal. Similarly, if the lord of the dasa sign is in an odd sign, the > sub-periods will be regular and zodiacal (commencing from the lord or its > 7th house)." This, so far, sounds clear. Now for the confusion: > > On page 95, of COA, an example is given of the chart of Andrew > Carnegie. > The Sri lagna is Virgo, and thus the Sudasas initiate from it. The order > of dasas is reverse zodiacally, as above, but according to kendras from > Virgo, viz Virgo, Gemini, Pisces, Sagittarius, then Leo, Taurus, Aquarius, > Scorpio, then Cancer, Aries, etc. There is something missing in your > explanation of the order of dasas. Could you please clarify? SRATH: Maharishi Jaimini has outlined the Dasa only and I have reproduced the same. However, these dasa are also called "RASI DASA" as they are calculated on the basis of the Janma Rasi by Maharishi Parasara. In the COA I have fully relied on Maharishi Parasara. Whenever in doubt I have fallen back on this monumental classic BPHS. Follow the system outlined in the COA. I will expand and alter the Upadesa Sutra explanation in the future. > Also, I assume that the sub-periods are as according to the bottom of page > 218 of JUS, wherein you state" Note: this system of antara & bhukti > reckoning is used in all phalita dasas." Thus, the order of sub-periods > is regular and zodiacal for dasas being in odd signs [taking the lord of > the stronger of the dasa sign and 7th from it, and beginning sub-periods > from its sign location], and reverse and zodiacal for dasas starting in > even signs, as also is the case with sub-periods in Narayana dasa. > *Correct*, or *Incorrect*? SRATH: Yes, this is the standard method used both in BPHS and JS. > Please answer these questions, as they are key and central to the correct > calculations of the Narayana and Sudasas. SRATH: Pranaam, Sri Vaishnava.
