OHM SHRI RAGAVENDRAYA NAMAH

JAYA JAGANNATHA

 

Namaste Jyotisha,

 

I thank you for your enthusiasm in reply to a very simple exercise.

The purpose of asking for the lesson answers is to get the feed back

from the sisyas. I request all the members to spend more time on each

lesson and refer many books before answering. You can also ask

questions related to lessons.

 

I request the very beginners and people who find difficult in

understanding the lesson to write to us, if you are struck with the

lessons. Your feed back is very important.

 

Before going into the answers, I would like to clarify some of the

questions raised on this exercise for the benefit of all.

 

Vargottama: It is good that Anoop asked what is Vargottama.

Vargottama means, Varga Uttamam. Varga means the classification or

division of the rasi. When a planet occupies same Rasi and same

Navamsa, it is called Vargottama. There are many Vaisishika amasas

which defines about a planet occupying own Vargas in various

divisional charts. But, Vargottama will be important even if it is

not in own Varga. As we all know, Rasi is macro level broader

meaning. Navamsa is inner nature. That is why in India, among the

various vargas/divisions Navamsa is given greater importance. The

whole purpose of this exercise is to understand the relationship

between Rasi and Navamsa. It is very important that though a planet

is well placed in Rasi, in order to give a yoga it must be well

placed in Navamsa also. If a planet occupies benefic sign in Rasi and

in Navamsa, it is good. If it occupies friendly signs that is also

good. If it occupies own signs, it is better. If it occupies same

sign, it is Vargottama and if the same sign is its own or exaltation,

then it is best placement. For example, if you are an Indian and you

are in a foreign country and your organization has a lot of

accommodation blocks and they can put you up in any block. But, you

prefer blocks with Indian predominance. Luckily, if you get Indian

predominance block and inside the block if you get neighbour hood of

your own language speaking people, you will feel more comfortable

than staying with Arab speaking blocks. As we have seen in the

exercise, if a planet is in Ashwini 1st pada, it will fall in Aries

Navamsa. So, in Rasi as well as in Navamsa the planet will occupy

Aries. It is Vargottama.

 

1. Sriram.N.Kizhakkemadam: 28.10.2001 :- Excellent reply and I

appreciate your prompt attempt. Your understanding is correct, but in

2nd answer for Capricorn and Aquarius, you missed Jeyestha. Instead

of 9 Nakshatra, there are only 8. I know it is a typo. But, you must

know that we check all lessons.

2. Srivastav vikas: 28.10.2001:- Wonderful answers. In Rasi

chart, you missed Mars. In second answer, for Sun you mistyped Purva

Badhrapada for Uttar Badharapada. In answer 3 : You wrote: 3rd pada

of Chitra ,Ardra and P.bhadrapada – It should be Chitra, Punarvasu

and Satabishak . You wrote: 4th pada of Punarvasu,Jyeshtha and

U.Bhadrapad. – It should be Punarvasu, Anooraadha and Revati.

3. Anoop: 29.10.2001:-Very good reply. Rasi chart is correct. In

Navamsa: Moon must be in Lagna Aq., Mars must be in Leo and Mercury

must be in Libra. Please, check where you made the mistake. Regarding

Vargottama, for the benefit of others I defined separately in the

beginning. So, attempt the answer after reading the definition.

4. Dilip: 30.10.2001:- Correct Rasi chart, In Navamsa Mercury

and Sun are not placed correctly, please check and find the reason

for this. You didn't answer of question 2. Plus, in question 3, your

understanding is correct, please list the Nakshatras.

5. Karthik: 29.10.2001:- Excellent answers. You worked hard on

this exercise. Keep it up. Just a small note. You missed Ketu in Rasi

and Saturn in Navamsa.

6. Zeljka: 29.10.2001:- Perfect answer and understanding.

Excellent keep up this good work.

7. Vishwanatham: 29.10.2001:- Excellent understanding and

answers. In answer 2. for Moon and Ketu, you left Krithikka. In

answer 3, Ardhra and Jeyeshtha will not give Vargottama.

8. Arjuna-Vallabha das: 30.10.2001:- Wonderful. Simple and to

the point. Perfect understanding. This is what I expected. Every one

should read his answer.

9. Frank in Austin: 30.10.2001:- Correct answer except moon must

be in Aq. Navamsa.

10. Ajit Krishnan: 30.10.2001:- Excellent answers, no comments

required. Good table for everyone to keep.

11. Katti Narahari: 30.10.2001:- Wonderful reply. Keep it up. You

could have listed the Vargottama Nakshatra padas.

12. Chitra: 30.10.2001:- Your answer to 1st question is correct.

Some of the 2nd answers are correct. But, you didn't understand the

logic of how the Navamsa is prepared. Please check Arjuna Vallaba das

answers and check the table given by Nandan for 2nd answer. Answer 3

also please check it.

13. Nandan: 30.10.2001:- Excellent. I know it is simple for you.

But, please use Rasi and Navamsa terms instead of D1 and D9. Plus

instead of applying formula try to memorise, this will help you when

you go for advanced level.

14. Abhilekh Bhardwaj- 30.10.2001:-Excellent, all are correct.

Keep it up.

 

Second part of eveluation will follow soon.
