Guest guest Posted May 5, 2001 Report Share Posted May 5, 2001 Namaste. Study this email by Narayan. Best wishes, Visti. == Snippit == Dear Members, I found many people still asking for rules about Narayana Dasa. Infact last week I had compiled all our previous exchanges on Narayana Dasa in a file, which I am reproducing below, so that members can save it & use as a reference. * * * * * The following text gives comprehensive explanation on the usage and computation of NarayanaDasa alias Rasi Padakrama Dasa. Source : Sri Sanjay Rath & Sri Narasimha Rao. Vedic Astrology (Jyotish) List - Moderator : Narasimha Rao. Books : Jaimini Maharishi's UPADESA SUTRAS by Sanjay Rath. NARAYANA DASA ---- ---------- This dasa is the hallmark of the Jaimini Sutras and is in the authors opinion the best for all predictive purposes. This dasa is powerful because it can also be extended to the divisional charts. The Steps: Dasa Progression ---- ---------- (a) Take lagna and 7th from it. Take the stronger( Refer to the section on Strength ). (b) Start dasas from that sign. Based on whether the 9th from that sign is odd-footed or even- footed, dasas will progress in *Zodiacal* (Ar, Ta, Ge, Cn ... Pi) or *Anti-Zodiacal* (Pi, Aq, Cp, Sg ... Ar) order. [Note: Ar, Ta, Ge and Li, Sc, Sg are odd-footed signs. Rest are even-footed.] See chart below. The houses where the dotted lines pass are ODD_FOOTED the rest are EVEN-FOOTED. ************************************************* * * * * * * * ------*-----------*------ * * * * * * * Pi* Ar* Ta* Ge* ************************************************* * * * * * * * * * * * * * Aq* D- * Cn* ************* ************* * * * * * * * * * * * * * Cp* * Le* ************************************************* * * * * * * -------*-----------*------ * * * * * * * * Sg* Sc* Li* Vi* ************************************************* © Based on the initiating sign, use one of the 3 progressions: (aa) If the initiating sign is moveable (chara), progression is regular. Examples: Ar (Zodiacal) : Ar, Ta, Ge, Cn, Le, Vi, Li, Sc, Sg, Cp, Aq, Pi. Cn (Anti-Zodiacal) : Cn, Ge, Ta, Ar, Pi, Aq, Cp, Sg, Sc, Li, Vi, Le. (bb) If the initiating sign is fixed (sthira), progression is every 6th. Examples: Le (Zodiacal) - Le, Cp, Ge, Sc, Ar, Vi, Aq, Cn, Sg, Ta, Li, Pi. Ta (Anti-Zodiacal) - Ta, Sg, Cn, Aq, Vi, Ar, Sc, Ge, Cp, Le, Pi, Li. (cc) If the initiating sign is dual (dwiswabhava), progression is 5th, 9th, 10th etc (i.e. finish trines and move to the next set of trines). Examples: Virgo (forward) - Vi, Cp, Ta, Ge, Li, Aq, Pi, Cn, Sc, Sg, Ar, Le. Taurus (backward) - Ge, Aq, Li, Vi, Ta, Cp, Sg, Le, Ar, Pi, Sc, Cn. Counting of Years ---- ---------- (a) Count from dasa sign to dasa sign's lord. In the case of Scorpio and Aquarius, take the stronger of two lords. ( Refer to the section on Strength ). (b) If the dasa sign is odd-footed, count forward and count backward if it is even-footed. ( Refer to the Section on Definitions ) © If lord is in that sign itself, it is 12 years. Do not go to step (d). (d) Subtract 1 year from it. Examples: (a) Ar dasa is of 2, 6, 10 and 12 years if Mars is in Ge, Li, Aq and Ar respectively. (b) Le dasa is of 2, 6, 9 and 12 years if Sun is in Ge, Aq, Sc and Le respectively. (e) If lord is debilitated, subtract 1 year and add 1 year if lord is exalted. (EXCEPTION: Mercury's exaltation. It counts just as own house, hence Mercury in Virgo will get 12 years). Examples: (a) If Mars is in Cp, Ar dasa is of 10 years. If Mars is in Cn, Ar dasa is of 2 years. (b) If Sun is in Ar, Le dasa is of 5 years. If Sun is in Li, Le dasa is of 9 years. © If Jupiter is in Cn, Sg dasa is of 8 years and Pi dasa is of 9 years. (d) If Jupiter is in Cp, Sg dasa is of 0 years and Pi dasa is of 1 year. (f) After dasas of all the 12 signs are over, start the second cycle. Sequence is the same as the first cycle, but dasa years will be 12 minus previous cycle years. Example: If we have " Ar: 4yrs, Ta: 2yrs, Ge: 11yrs etc " in the first cycle, second cycle will be " Ar: 8yrs, Ta: 10yrs, Ge:1yr etc " . Antaradasa ---- ---------- (a) Find the stronger of dasa sign and the 7th from it. ( Refer to the section on Strengths ). (b) Take the lord of that sign. See the rasi occupied by him. Start antardasas from there. © If it is an odd sign, go forward. If it is an even sign, go backward. In either case, go in the regular order. Examples: (1) Leo (forward) - Le, Vi, Li, Sc, Sg etc. (2) Taurus (backward) - Ta, Ar, Pi, Aq, Cp etc (d) All 12 antardasas are of equal duration. So if dasa is of n years, all antardasas will be of n months. [Note: 1 year=12 months, 1 month=30 days, 1 day=1 degree motion of Sun] Strength ________ For comparing the strengths of Rahu/Saturn & Ketu/Mars: (a) First see if one lord is in that sign. If so, other lord is stronger. For example, if Saturn is in Aquarius, then invariably Rahu should be taken as its lord. (b) If one of the above houses is with a larger number of planets, then he is stronger. © " SWAAMI GURUJNA DRIGYOGAHA " . If one of them is aspected by more out of (aa) Jupiter, (bb) Mercury and (cc) dispositor, then he is stronger. These carry equal weight. Example : Lets assume that we are considering Le & Aq(1/7). Lets also assume that Le is aspected by Ju & Aq by Me, and their lords donot aspect their respective signs. Then there is a tie. When looking for the aspect of lord/dispositor, you can settle for aspect from either lord, but you have to use the stronger lord in all other rules. (d) If one of them is exalted, then he is stronger (opposite for debilitation). (e) One occupying a sign of higher natural strength (Dual>Fixed>Movable) is stronger. (f) One giving more years is stronger. (g) A sign whose lord is more advanced in longitude from the beginning of its sign is stronger. Rahu and Ketu's advancement should be measured from the end of sign rather than beginning. For comparing the strengths of 1/7 houses (a) If one of the above houses is with a larger number of planets, then he is stronger. (b) " SWAAMI GURUJNA DRIGYOGAHA " . If one of them is aspected by more out of (aa) Jupiter, (bb) Mercury and (cc) dispositor, then he is stronger. These carry equal weight. Example : Lets assume that we are considering Le & Aq(1/7). Lets also assume that Le is aspected by Ju & Aq by Me, and their lords donot aspect their respective signs. Then there is a tie. When looking for the aspect of lord/dispositor, you can settle for aspect from either lord, but you have to use the stronger lord in all other rules. © A sign with its lord in a sign with a different oddity (odd/even) is stronger than a sign with its lord in a sign with the same oddity. (d) A sign whose lord is more advanced in longitude from the beginning of its sign is stronger. Rahu and Ketu's advancement should be measured from the end of sign rather than beginning. Exceptions ---- ---------- (a) Presence of Saturn/Ketu in the stronger of (1/7 houses) will modify dasa/antardasa sequence. Saturn makes it go Zodiacally & Ketu reverses it, no matter what. Note : The house winning the 1/7 battle and initiating the dasa/antaradasa cycle has to have the above mentioned planets. This has to be kept in mind specially for antaradasa, where the cycle is initiated from the sign occupied by the winner of 1/7 battle. Example : Le/Aq are fighting it out for anatardasa sequence. say, Le wins, & Su is in Ar, then Sequence is Ar, Ta, Ge ..etc, but if Ketu were to be present in Le, then sequence, would be Ar, Pi, Aq etc. Even if Ketu were to be in Ar with Su, then it would progress as Ar, Ta, Ge in regular order. Most importantly for this exception to work Saturn/Ketu has to be in *STRONGER* OF 1/7 houses. (b) Supposing Saturn and Ketu occupy the same sign. Answer : Experiment. © One year is deducted only if the debilitated planet is taken as the lord. If you take Ketu as the lord and find dasa years based on Ketu, exaltation or debilitation of Mars no longer matters. (Of course, you have to add/subtract one year from Aries dasa, because Mars is its only lord.) Regards Narayan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
