RESEARCH: Kaala Dasa and Chakra Dasa

[Guest guest]

Namaste friends,

 

Maharshi Parasara taught tens of dasa systems in " Brihat Paaraasara Horaa

Saastram " . He only taught the calculations and did not elaborate the purpose and

use of each dasa. He probably expected the learners to figure them out. Kaala

dasa and Chakra dasa were two of the dasas taught by him. Kaala means " time " and

chakra means " wheel " .

 

Kaala dasa and Chakra dasa are both of 120 years and both are based the division

of the day into 4 parts. While Kaala dasa is of planets, Chakra dasa is of

signs. My view is that these two dasas are to be combined and used together. I

have written an article on these two dasas based on my understanding. You can

download it at:

It must be clarified that this article is not based on any secret knowledge

preserved in a parampara or on any long and extensive research project. Though

the calculations presented in this article are based on Parasara's unambiguous

teachings, the judgment of results is based on my insights after meditating on

the verses of Parasara and some limited research that followed. When the ideas

were tested with a few charts, there were very interesting results. The research

was not extensive, but I feel that it is significant enough to share with

others. With the limited time I have, I may not be able to do any further

justice to these findings. Though my findings are 3 year old, I have not found

anything new in 3 years and it is unlikely that I will be able to spend any more

time on this. If my findings are recorded, I hope that some keen students of

Jyotish will study this research in future and refine the knowledge.

 

If you do not find this knowledge useful, please ignore it. If you find it

useful, please feel free to use it, refine it and spread it. There is a lot of

knowledge in BPHS that still needs to be understood and refined.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha

of my writings on Jyotish and will have very low traffic. Those interested in

following my Jyotish writings can to it.
