True. He calls it a sister Dasa. But you are right, Vimshottari is an Udu Dasa (Nakshatra based) whereas his definition of Moola Dasa is Rasi based. So it is very difficult to see the relationship bewteen the two. As one senior astrologer said about this article by SR: "Lack of proper knowledge of Parashara leads to this confusion in the minds of those who have no astrological commonsense. They should read Parashara again and see the distinction made between Kendradi dasha and Mandook Dasha and also read JAIMINI SUTRAM OF PS SASTRY TO SEE HOW THESE TWO DASHAS ARE DISTINGUISHED. To take up the horoscope of Lord Rama to explain it !!! Damnable escapism it is." So you are not the only one who discerned this anomoly. It is just one more of the wrong things about this article, which I am told he also published as part of one his books. > > I'm also wondering how with all the rules for additions and subtractions > that are given for periods in the dashas how do the subperiods work ?

Yes, another good point. I recall a senior protege of SR who once demonstrated to us all his theory that because each Mahadasha was caluculated on a different basis this meant it had to do with only a certain aspect of his life. This is not an exact quote (I have it somewhere) but something along the line that since VImshottari is based on the Moon's position it reflected the emotions of the person for that period. He went on and on. It sounded like a lot of New Age rubbish if you ask me. So I asked him for a public demontration of his theory. I provided a chart and asked him to comment on a certain time frame. He ended up using about 10-20 different Mahadasa's to detail the chart. Unfortunately not one of his anylysis came even close to the facts which were that the man was a pedophile and was spending a long time in prison. As the saying goes: if you want to hit water better to sink one well down 1000 feet than 20 wells for 50 feet. Using Vimshottari Dasa and Gochara it was easy to see the actual situation. So much for knowing 40+ mahadasa systems.
