yogakaraka

[Guest guest]

Hi,

 

I am somewhat curious about the concept of 'yogakaraka'. What I

understand is that for a particular lagna, if a planet is a

yogakaraka, then it will become a benificial planet irrespective of

its position in the rashi chart. However, there is also a default

assignment of goodness/evilness to the planets, commonly called

natural benefics and malefics. For instance, while Mars is of malefic

nature, moon is on the good side.

However, this natural assignment is overridden if a planet is termed

as a yogakaraka for a particular lagna. For example, Mars is a

yogakaraka for Karkataka (Cancer) rashi, therefore it will become a

beneficial planet. In such a case, I assume all the doshas related to

the placement of the yogakaraka planets are nullified as well.

e.g. : In Karkataka lagna, there is no kuja dosham even if Mars is

placed in house # 1/2/4/7/8/12 from lagna (cancer).

 

Can anyone comment on the accuracy of my interpretation?

 

Thanks,

Sagar
