Research Article: AKKG Dasa and Chara Karakas

[Guest guest]

Namaste friends,

 

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

Saastram " (BPHS). One of them is Atma Karaka Kendradi Graha (AKKG) dasa.

 

Though a version of AKKG dasa based on the presumed teachings of a parampara is

available in my software " Jagannatha Hora " (see

http://www.vedicAstrologer.org/jh), that version did not give me consistent

results based on any simple repeatable rules. Though I could explain things

using different complicated logic in different charts, I was not satisfied. With

such a complicated approach, any event can be justified in any arbitrary dasa.

Though one cannot avoid using chart specific logic in Jyotish, some simple

principles need to form the binding thread. I could not find any such simple and

consistent principles.

 

I tried to go back and faithfully stick to Parasara'a teachings on calculations

and yet could not come up with any simple and consistent principles of judgment.

 

In the last several years, I was working on several parameters of Jyotish and

came to my own conclusions on some of those. Examples are ayanamsa, mean vs true

nodes, concept of ishta devata and reckoning of houses. Once those parameters

fell in place, I started to find consistent results with Parasara's AKKG dasa

based on simple repeatable rules.

 

For example, AKKG dasa (D-20) of a planet owning or occupying the 12th house

from AK in D-20 (i.e. ishta devata planet) invariably gives important periods in

one's spiritual life, when there is transformation, evolution, detachment and

experience of the divine. I will outline the calculations and show some

examples.

The JyotishWritings will serve as an archive of all my future

writings related to Jyotish. It has (and will have) very low traffic as I am the

only one allowed to post. Others can only reply to me privately and not to the

list. Those who want to follow my astrological writings may want to join that

list.

If this knowledge makes sense to you, please feel free to use it, spread it and

refine it. Otherwise, please ignore it!

 

To those who like this knowledge (or any other knowledge or software that I have

shared before) and want to show their appreciation to me materially, I have a

humble request.

 

My spiritual guru Dr Manish Pandit made a documentary movie called " Krishna:

History or Myth " and intends to make some more documentary movies related to

sanatana veda dharma. Making a professional quality documentary movie is very

expensive and he has so far borne the expenses from his pocket, with very little

help from a few of us. If you are interested in giving something to me

materially, please go to http://SaraswatiFilms.org and either donate money or

buy DVDs. That will help share the load until this important project stands on

its own feet.

 

Of course, there is no compulsion. Irrespective of how many people respond, I

will continue to share my understanding of various topics of Jyotish with

interested students and researchers, at my own pace.

 

Best regards,

Narasimha
