Guest guest Posted July 23, 2001 Report Share Posted July 23, 2001 Om Gurave Namah ---- Dear Frank, DWITEEYAM BHAVA BALAM CHARA NAVAMSE.. In Chara, Navamsa and other such Dasa= =3D , the Bhava Bala or strength of signs is reckoned from the second source of= =3D strength onwards. That is, Jupiter, Mercury and Lord of Sign aspecting/ Co= =3D njoining add strength to the sign and so on. The first strength of the sign= =3D i.e. the position of the Atmakaraka is to be ignored. With Best Wishes, Sanjay Rath -=3D20 Frank in Austin=3D20 varahamihira =3D20 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= =3D 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= =3D trength, I need clarification. The general rule is to evaluate the 1st Rasi and the 7th from it. The on= =3D e with the larger number of Graha's is the stronger. YET, Mararishi Jamini suggests the first source of strength is the pres= =3D ence of the Atmakaraka. Hence if in evaluating the 1st and 7th from it, the 1st has 2 or 3 Graha'= =3D 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, =3D20=3D20=3D20=3D20 ---- -----= =3D --- 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 = =3D down the rules in a WORD document to send out to the group, with Sanjay's = =3D permission and final approval when competed] =3DFC In Narayana dasa, as well as many other Phalita dasas [1], the = st=3D rength of the 1st and 7th house from it, are considered for the initiation = =3D 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= =3D stronger. 2. If both houses have an equal number of planets, or if neither h= =3D as any planets,=3D20=3D20=3D20=3D20 then the stronger one, is the one, which is occupied or aspec= =3D ted by more out of: (a.) Jupiter, (b.) Mercury and (c.) its lord =3DFC Note that if one of the signs/houses being compared is either = Aq=3D uarius or Scorpio, who have dual lords, then either lord can be considered = =3D in this case.=3D20 3. If both competing signs have an equal number of planets, then the str= =3D onger one is the one occupied by an exalted planet. Similarly, if one is o= =3D ccupied by a debilitated planet, then the other is stronger.=3D20=3D20 4. Signs are stronger in order according to the following sequence: =3D =3D20 Dual>Fixed>Movable 5. A sign whose lord is in a sign of different oddity[2], is stronger t= =3D han a sign whose lord is in a sign with the same oddity. For example, an o= =3D dd sign whose lord is in an even sign, is stronger than an even sign whose = =3D lord is in an even sign.=3D20=3D20 6. A sign whose lord is more advanced in longitude from the beginning of= =3D its sign is stronger. Rahu and Ketu's advancement should be measured from = =3D the end of sign not the beginning[3]. ---- -----= =3D --- [1] See Crux of Vedic Astrology Timing of Events, by Sanjay Rath - Chapt= =3D er 1 [2] Note in this case we are talking about odd or even footed signs whic= =3D h are the following: Ar,Ta,Ge,Li,Sc,Ag are odd-footed signs , the remaining= =3D signs Cn,Le, Vi,Cp,Aq,Pi are even footed. [3] Example: Rahu 29=3DB0 Cancer would be evaluated as 30=3DB0 - 29=3D= B0 or =3D 1=3DB0 in Longitude OM TAT SAT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
