Software and Narayana Dasha

[Guest guest]

Question re: Parashara's Light 6.0 software and Narayana Dasha.

 

If anyone can help me with the following question regarding Narayana

Dasha calculations in Parashara's Light 6.0 software, I would very

much appreciate it. Thanks in advance!

 

Does anyone know if the calculations used in Parashara's Light 6.0 to

calculate Narayana dasha are accurate? The results I am getting with

the software do not match the results I am getting when I calculate

it by hand. The dasha length in PL 6.0 changes after the first dasha

(rashi)period, not after the first cycle, i.e. 12 rashis. Is the

software calculating it wrong, or am I calculating it wrong?

 

Chart Example: For Cancer Lagna

 

My calculations: Rashi seed is Capricorn in 7th house. Dashas run

backwards in order: Cap, Sag, Scorpio, etc. (Capricorn in movable

sign, so progression is regular, 1, 2, 3, etc; 9th from Capricorn,

Virgo, is even-footed sign, so direction is backwards.) Capricorn's

lord, Saturn, is in the 5th house. Dasha lengths should run 2 years,

per rashi, for the first cycle. (7th to 5th rashi is 3 signs minus

one equals two.) Dasha length should be two years per rashi, totally

24 years for the first cycle, until it ends at Aquarius. Second

cycle should then change to 10 years per rashi (12-2=10), starting

with Capricorn. These are my calculations. I hope they are right.

Please correct me if they are wrong, or if I misunderstood anything.

 

Parashara's Light 6.0 listed the first dasha period as Capricorn,

lasting two years. But the second dasha period, Sagittarius, it

listed for 10 years. My understanding is that during the first

cycle, each rashi's period should run for two years, until it has

cycled through all 12 rashis. Then, the second cycle begins, with

Capricorn again, and each rashi's dasha period runs for 10 years

each. But this is not how the software calculated it. I also

noticed that it skipped Aquarius entirely, i.e. it went from Pisces

to Capricorn, and omitted Aquarius entirely. Is the software

calculating Narayana dasha using a different method? Or is there a

glitch, an error, in the software, and is it calculating it wrong?

 

If anyone has experience with Parashara's Light 6.0 and can answer

this question for me, I would be very grateful for your help. Also,

if there is a problem with PL 6.0's calculation of Narayana dasha,

can anyone recommend any other software that calculates it

accurately, and that will calculate it for both rashi and varga

charts?

 

Thanks so much for your help and advice.
