RE: |Sri Varaha| Charakaraka replacement (Was Some Questions)

[Guest guest]

Dear Kanu,

 

I will answer your third question by mentioning some key points about Chara

Karaka Replacement. Some people in the Vedic-Astrology list has also asked me

about it in private so I am marking a copy there as well.

 

Sanjayji first taught Charakaraka Replacement in the West Coast USA in 2003. If

you can get hold of the CD from Lakshmi Kary you will be able to listen to some

excellent discussions between the gurus, when he presented the Chara Karaka

Replacement paper with lots of examples. Given below are some salient features

of the concept:

Parasara gives two chara karaka schemes: 7 and 8. The 7 CK scheme include the

planets from Sun to Saturn. When the degrees are the same, Rahu becomes an

option to be considered. The 8 CK scheme include the planets from Sun to Rahu.

The 8 charakaraka scheme is given by both Parasara and Jaimini, and are the

Atmakaraka, Amatyakaraka, Bhratrkaraka, Matrkaraka, Pitrkaraka, Putrakaraka,

Gnatikaraka and Darakaraka. In the 7 karaka scheme, there is no Putrakaraka as

it is merged with the Matrkaraka. This scheme is used for non-living beings and

is suitable for mundane astrology, while the 8 chara karaka scheme is used for

natal horoscopy. A reason being that non-living beings do not procreate, hence

the dismissal of the Putrakaraka.

When two or more planets are in the same degree, there is a competition between

them, as a result of which the planet with the lower degree (minutes in this

case actually) gradually displaces the planet with the higher degree. So if

there is a battle between Atmakaraka and Amatyakaraka (that is they are in same

degrees), the Amk will gradually replace the AK. The AK will thus eventually

'disappear' and the AmK will become the new AK. The slot emptied by the AmK,

will be filled by a new AmK. In the 8 CK scheme this is filled by the sthira

AmK and in the case of 7 CK scheme it is taken first by Rahu and then by the

sthira karaka. Therefore muhurtas for mundane charts should not have such

replacements as Rahu will be in action then, and the event is doomed from the

beginning. In this manner, one can analyse the replacements of several chara

karakas, each having different implications. In natal horoscopy, it signifies

major changes in life, sometimes brought about by the death of near and dear

ones, as mentioned by Zoran in his post. In the lives of spiritual people, the

replacement between AK and AmK heralds major shifts in life. This is the

biggest replacement of them all, as compared to those between other chara

karakas like Pitr and Matrkarakas etc. In the Quiz chart posted by Dhira Krsna

in the Vedic Astrology list, there is one such powerful replacement between AK

and AmK. The AK is the Moon, being replaced by the AmK Sun. The Sun will become

the new AK and the sthira AmK Jupiter will be come the new chara AmK. The Sun in

this chart is also the shubhapati and the Dharmadevata conjoined the AK in the

Karakamsha. Very interesting chart indeed and we are all awaiting Dhira Krsna's

answer. It will be curious to see what the Sun's mahadasha in 2015 under

Dwisaptatisama dasha will bring for the native.

At a deeper level, there are hints about Madhyakheta and Antyakheta, which we

should all take a second look into.

Hope this helps.

 

Best regards,

 

Sarbani

|Sri Varaha| Some Questions.

Om Dakshinamurtaya Namah

Dear Gurus,

I have the following three questions please help me understand

better:

1.Will Sun support the UL even if the UL connects to Saturn and Rahu?

2.I know that Rahu and Ketu indicate the end of relationships/marriages in the D

9.How does one use this? How do we count or read this placement to see if the

native will have any more relationships or not?

3.I have a few doubts on the Chara karaka replacement.When exactly does this

take place? I undertand that a mahurat with CKR is not good as Rahu takes over

the empty slots but what about the natal charts?

 

Thanking you,

Best Regards,

Kanupriya.
