June 8, 2001

Dear Gurudeva,

Namaste,

here are the answers on next questions:

Q7:

Study BPHS Sloka's 9-5 to 9-8, Sloka 9-11 and Sloka's 9-15 to 9-24 and explain principle behind them.

A7:

Malefics in the 5th house (Saturn, Mars & Sun) give death to the mother and brothers. 5th house is 2nd from 4th (mother) and 7th from 11th (elder brothers). 2nd and 7th houses are Maraka (killer) houses.

Malefics in lagna or in 8th house (or aspecting this houses) brings immediate death. Lagna means physical body and 8th means death of body. Malefics in this houses gives damage to its meanings.

Benefics influencing these houses and positions of planets will bring some relief and protection.

Luminaries bad positioned (in Dustanas) or in aspect with malefics, especially with Rahu will also bring harm to life. Rahu tend to eclipse luminaries and withhold its positive rays.

Moon is especially considered in this chapter and various affliction to him give danger of premature death. Moon is sustainer of the whole chart and if it is afflicted it can not give protection of life.

As it is said in the lesson it is important to know the principle behind all this yogas and in this way recognize the proper situation.

By knowing principles behind this yogas which are listed here astrologer can prescribe appropriate remedial measures.

Q8:

Study BPHS Sloka's 10-6 to 10-9 and explain the principle behind them.

A8:

There are given the yogas that can counteract the evils at birth or that gives long lives for native and relatives.

Malefics in the 4th or 10th can give damage to father (because 10th house is 2nd, maraka house, from 9th -father and 4th house is 8th from 9th - death of father). Benefics influencing these yogas will give relief from the danger.

Jupiter conjoing Mars - good for the mother and the native. Mars destructive energy can be canalized by Jupiter to give some positive results (this is the first thing that comes to my mind).

Benefics surrounding the malefics will also counteract negative energy of malefics.

Darpaha Dasa.
