Om Gurave Namah----Dear Frank,DWITEEYAM BHAVA BALAM CHARA NAVAMSE.. In Chara, Navamsa and other such Dasa=, the Bhava Bala or strength of signs is reckoned from the second source of= strength onwards. That is, Jupiter, Mercury and Lord of Sign aspecting/ Co=njoining add strength to the sign and so on. The first strength of the sign= i.e. the position of the Atmakaraka is to be ignored.With Best Wishes,Sanjay Rath -=20 Frank in Austin=20 varahamihira =20 Sunday, July 22, 2001 10:52 PM [Hare Rama Krishna] Narayan Dasa and Sources of strength Namaste, When evaluating rasis to determine which rasi is stronger to begin a Dasa= calculation the following rules are used. (See numbers 1 -6 below) After reading Upadesa Sutra Chapter II Quarter III, 2.3.5 on Sources of S=trength, I need clarification. The general rule is to evaluate the 1st Rasi and the 7th from it. The on=e with the larger number of Graha's is the stronger. YET, Mararishi Jamini suggests the first source of strength is the pres=ence of the Atmakaraka. Hence if in evaluating the 1st and 7th from it, the 1st has 2 or 3 Graha'=s and the 7th has the Atmakaraka, then the 7th should be the stronger...accoring to 2.3.5 to 2.3.13 Can one of the Guru's review this and add insight to this. Pranams,=20=20=20=20---------=--- Rules for determining the initiation of Dasas ( for Narayan Dasa System) [ note this is laid out in this manner below because I have been writing =down the rules in a WORD document to send out to the group, with Sanjay's =permission and final approval when competed] =FC In Narayana dasa, as well as many other Phalita dasas[1], the st=rength of the 1st and 7th house from it, are considered for the initiation =of dasas. The rules for these strengths are as follows: 1. If one of the above houses has a larger number of planets, then he is= stronger. 2. If both houses have an equal number of planets, or if neither h=as any planets,=20=20=20=20 then the stronger one, is the one, which is occupied or aspec=ted by more out of: (a.) Jupiter, (b.) Mercury and (c.) its lord =FC Note that if one of the signs/houses being compared is either Aq=uarius or Scorpio, who have dual lords, then either lord can be considered =in this case.=20 3. If both competing signs have an equal number of planets, then the str=onger one is the one occupied by an exalted planet. Similarly, if one is o=ccupied by a debilitated planet, then the other is stronger.=20=20 4. Signs are stronger in order according to the following sequence: ==20 Dual>Fixed>Movable 5. A sign whose lord is in a sign of different oddity[2], is stronger t=han a sign whose lord is in a sign with the same oddity. For example, an o=dd sign whose lord is in an even sign, is stronger than an even sign whose =lord is in an even sign.=20=20 6. 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 not the beginning[3].---------=--- [1] See Crux of Vedic Astrology Timing of Events, by Sanjay Rath - Chapt=er 1 [2] Note in this case we are talking about odd or even footed signs whic=h are the following: Ar,Ta,Ge,Li,Sc,Ag are odd-footed signs , the remaining= signs Cn,Le, Vi,Cp,Aq,Pi are even footed. [3] Example: Rahu 29=B0 Cancer would be evaluated as 30=B0 - 29=B0 or =1=B0 in Longitude OM TAT SAT
