As regards your questions ..just apply yourself slightly more. In any case i shall reply after your note is received.

Dear Gurudev and Jyotish!

1. This is in extension of the mail exchange between Narasimha and Satya in the Vedic-astrology list on Nakshatra lordship. On one hand I understand that the deities of the nakshatra are fixed and are used for Muhurtha purposes. However, I don't understand, how the rulers of the nakshatra is fixed on the basis of the various dasas? Why the same nakshatra has different rulership for different dasas?

2. Why the planets have the particular sequence, they have in any dasa, why not any other sequence? Why vimshottari dasa has the sequence of Ke, Ve, Su, Mo, Ma, Ra, Ju, Sa, Me and not Su, Mo, Me, Ve, Ma, Ju, Sa, Ra, Ke or any other sequence. Based on this sequence only, the nakshatra lordship is determined for a particular dasa?

I am still pondering, any ideas are welcome...

Regards

Sarajit

HARE RAMA KRISHNA

Dear Gurudev and Jyotisha!

I share with you whatever I remember on what Pt. Sanjay has taught us, when I last meat him .

In the Vimshottari dasa, the length of the dasa period is 120 years. Where from this 120 years came into being. This happened because all the 9 planets and the Lagna together deposited 12 years each of dasa length, which makes the total period to be 12*10 = 120 years.

We all know that Rahu is the cause of rebirth as it shows materialistic desires. The two planets which put burden on Rahu and cause rebirth are Venus and Saturn. Venus indicate passion and excessive sensuality and Saturn indicate sorrow. They are above Rahu. The planets oppose Venus and Saturn are Mercury and Jupiter. They are below Rahu. Mercury a Jovial planet, indicate a childlike attitude, free from all tensions and sorrow. Jupiter on the other hand indicate moderation. According to Jupiter, every thing is required, however in moderation, even sexual passion is required, only to fulfil the dharma of the native.

Now what happened, Sun has taken back only half the period it has provided. Thus the period of Sun became 6 years. The remaining 6 years is taken by Rahu along with its own 12 years, making its period to be 18 years. As Saturn is one above Rahu, it got 19 (18+1) years and Venus being two above got 20 (18+2) years. Similarly Mercury which is just below Rahu gets 1 year less than Rahu and Jupiter which is two below Rahu gets 2 years less than Rahu, making its period to be 16 years long.

As this dasa is strong in day, this dasa is Lorded by Jupiter. The Period of Jupiter is the sum of periods of Sun and the Moon. We know that the period of Sun is 6 and that of Jupiter is 16. This makes Moon's Period to be 10 years (16-6).

The remaining balance is 14 years. This is divided in to remaining Mars and Ketu, each of them hence got 7years each.

So the final figures are:

Sun: 6

Moon: 10

Mars: 7 Rahu: 18 Jupiter:16

Saturn:19 Mercury:17 Ketu: 7Venus: 20

I might not have given enough reasoning on many things such as why Saturn got only 1years more than Rahu and Venus 2 years. This could have been Saturn 2years and Venus 4 years more than Rahu (multiples of two) or something else. Why the figure 1 year and not something else. Why Sun donated its 6 years to Rahu? Why Jupiter's Period equals the sum of the period of the Sun and the Moon? Why Lagna doesn't figure in this dasa? Why the dasa period is "equally distributed between Mars and Ketu" The answers to these questions are not clear to me.

Gurudev! Please correct me wherever I went wrong.

I shall prepare a detailed note on this after my doubts on the above mentioned questions are cleared.

Pranaam
