The role of the houses where the various yogas are from, the signs involved, the other planetary influences on the yoga-forming planets, the strength and weakness of the constituent planets, their status in the Vargas, and the operating dasha have all been elucidated with examples.
Yogas In Astrology Charak Pdf 12
The classical astrological texts mention a baffling number of planetary combinations with apparently confusing results attributed to them. The ordinary student of astrology finds himself at a loss when he tries to apply verbatim the principles mentioned in the classics. The sages of yore, who handed down these classics to us, however, had an exalted intellect. The beauty of the classical to us, however, had an exalted intellect. The beauty of the classical principles lies in order to obtain accurate results.
The Yogas in Astrology for the first time explained in simply. Yet lucid language is the method of analyzing the effects of various yogas that obtain in a horoscope. The logical and scientific approach of this book has appealed to the practitioner of astrology the world over. It is with some satisfaction that we present to the discerning student of astrology the third edition of this book. The book has been completely revised and the text modified in places where necessary. Vinay Aditya has rendered immense help in bringing out the present edition of this work.
Astrological texts abound in planetary combinations which are termed as the 'Yogas'. In fact, any specific planetary disposition capable of producing some specific result is labelled as yoga. There are all sorts of yogas, from the most benevolent to the most malevolent ones. The problem with all these lies in their interpretation. The astrological texts use strong language to describe the results of the various yogas. If such results are applied literally to individual horoscopes, the predictions often go wrong.
The clue to accurate predictions lies in the right interpretation of the yogas. This consists of an elaborate process to which each yoga needs to be subjected. The Yogas in Astrology is primarily intended towards the achievement of this goal of the right technique of interpretation of the yogas. While numerous astrological yogas find mentioned in this text, the stress here is more on the technique of analysis than on the actual number of yogas discussed.
The approach to the understanding of various yogas as given here is innovative. Various factors influence the results of a given yoga, e.g., the nature of individual planets, the signs and houses involved, and the additional planetary influences outset. Emphasis has been laid on the interpretation of the Nabhasa yogas much before concentrating on any other yogas in the horoscope since the Nabhasa yogas govern the life pattern as well as the natural responses of a native. Several other yogas tend to operate within the broad guidelines of the Nabhasa yogas.
One chapter has been devoted to planetary conjunctions which so remarkably alter the otherwise simple results obtainable from a planet or a yoga. Another chapter deals with the Pancha Mahapurusha yogas which the astrologers generally tend to ignore.
The celebrated Gaja-Kesari yoga has been discussed in a very elaborate manner. This yoga provides a model example of the technique of interpretation of yoga as well as the several factors that modify the described results of the yoga. All the various yogas discussed in the text in fact individually need a similar treatment.
A large section of the astrological yogas defies a compact classification. Several well-known and important yogas belong to this category. These have been treated in the chapter labelled as the Variegated Yogas.
The all-important Raja yogas, Dhana yogas, Arishta yogas and Daridra yogas, as also a special category of yogas known as the Parivartana yogas, have been dealt with most thoroughly. Several illustrations have been provided to give clues to their understanding and interpretation.
Vedic astrology is nothing if not concerned with the spiritual aspect of life. A brief discussion of the Sanyasa yogas, or combinations of detachment and renunciation finds a place in a separate chapter.
The text is thoroughly illustrated with umpteen examples from actual horoscopic charts. Extensive use of Vargas has been made in appropriate sections of the book. The results have been integrated with the Vimshottari dasha where relevant. An understanding of the book demands some basic knowledge of astrological techniques and terminology which may be learnt from the 'Elements of Vedic Astrology' by the author. All along, the stress has been on avoiding a literal application of the results ascribed to the various yogas in the classical texts. On the other hand, an emphasis has been laid on analyzing each individual yoga in the light of sound, though basic, astrological principles which give indications about the nature and extent to which an individual yoga undergoes modifications.
The Asraya yogas, propounded by Manitha, are based on all seven planets simultaneously occupying moveable or fixed or common signs; Rajju yoga arises if all seven planets occupy moveable signs, Musala yoga arises when they occupy fixed signs, and Nala yoga if they are all in common signs. The unfavourable Sarpa yoga arises if the Sun, Mars and Saturn occupy mutual kendras from the lagna, and the favourable Mala yoga if Mercury, Venus and Jupiter are similarly placed; these are the two Dala yogas.[8]
Gada yoga is formed by all seven planets occupying the lagna and the 4th, the 4th and the 7th the 7th and the 10th and the 10th and the lagna; when they are in the lagna and the 7th Shakata yoga arises; if they are in the 4th and the 10th, the Vihaga yoga; if they are in the lagna, the 5th and the 9th, Shringataka yoga is caused; if in mutual trines involving a kendra, the Hala yoga. When all benefic planets are in the lagna and the 7th or when malefic planets occupy the 4th and the 10th house, the Vajra yoga is caused but if the benefic planets are in the 4th and the 10th and the malefic planets are in the lagna and the 7th then Yava yoga is caused. All seven planets distributed in the four kendras give rise to the Kamala yoga; if they are in the Panaparas or the Apoklimas, then to the Vapi yoga. All seven planets in four bhavas from lagna to the 4th, from 4th to the 7th, from 7th to the 10th and from 10th to the lagna give rise to the Yoopa yoga, the Shara yoga, the Shakti yoga and the Danda yoga. If all planets occupy all seven bhavas from the lagna to the 7th, then Nauka yoga arises; and from the 4th to the 7th, the Koota yoga. If all seven planets happen to occupy the 7th to the lagna, the Chhatra yoga; from the 10th to the 4th, the Dhanusha yoga, and from the 2nd to the 8th, the Ardhachandra yoga arises. If the seven planets are in odd bhavas counted from the lagna, the Chakra yoga is caused; if in even bhavas, the Samudra yoga. These are the Akriti yogas.[9]
All seven planets occupying one bhava causes the Gola yoga; in two bhavas, the Yuga yoga, in three bhavas, the Shoola yoga, in four bhavas, the Kedara yoga, in five bhavas, the Pasa yoga, or in six bhavas the Dama or Damini yoga. These are the Sankhya yogas. All seven planets situated in seven bhavas is known as the Veena yoga.[10]
Raja yogas are Shubha ('auspicious') yogas in jyotish philosophy and tradition. They are believed to give success and a grand rise in career or business, and a greater degree of financial prosperity particularly during the dasha of the planets that give rise to Raja yogas. However, these results get adversely modified by the presence of other Ashubha ('inauspicious') Arista yogas.[1] In a nutshell, the Yoga or Raja yoga-causing planets during the course of their respective dashas confer their most auspicious results if they happen to own the lagna-bhava (the Ascendant) or the Suta-bhava (the 5th house) or the Bhagyasthana (the 9th house); the person remains healthy, wealthy, happy and successful enjoying yoga and Raja yoga results in case the lagna, the 3rd, the 6th, the 8th, the 9th and the 12th houses counted from the lagna are also not occupied by any planet, and the kendras (quadrants) are occupied only by benefic planets.[2]
The term "Raja yoga" is not defined in the texts dealing with Hindu Predictive astrology. All such planetary situations and combinations that indicate good fortune, wealth, comforts, exercise of ruling power and political influence gained, either by way of inheritance or acquired through self-effort, are termed as Raja yogas.[3] There are many varieties of Raja yogas but their formation generally involves the 9th, the 10th, the 2nd, the 11th house and the lagna ('Ascendant'), their respective house-lords and their exaltation signs and exaltation lords, which house-lords combining and giving rise to Raja yogas invariably tend to enhance the affairs of the house they occupy, aspect and rule.[4]In doing so they combine the influence of two types of houses - a) those governing personal initiatives and b) those that show good fortune. Therefore, Raja yogas are generally found in the horoscopes of leaders and famous people [5]and reveal their birth to be out of the ordinary.[6]
The directional strength gained by planets is a vital factor for it is seen that planets possessing Digbala giving rise to yogas and Raja yogas are more effective even if they do not combine well e.g. when Saturn is with the Sun and Mars in the 10th house and Venus is in the 4th there arises a significant Raja yoga.
The trikonas are as sensitive as the kendras if not more; planets in mutual trikonas become effective co-workers. The antra-dasha of the planet situated in a kendra or in a trikona from the dasha-lord generally confers auspicious results. The Sun in the 4th, a retrograde Venus in the 5th with Jupiter situated in the lagna, or Saturn in the 9th, Mars exalted, and Mercury, Venus and Jupiter combining in the 5th house give rise to powerful Raja yogas which yogas illustrate the importance and effectiveness of the trinal aspects of planets more particularly that of Jupiter. If the benefic sign rising in the lagna is occupied by a benefic planet and the lord of the lagna, also a natural benefic, occupies a benefic sign in the 9th house then they invariably make one fortunate, long-lived and enjoy Raja yoga. But the kendras dominated by cruel malefic planets usually prove counter-productive, they prevent effective operation of yogas and Raja yogas, which situation becomes worse with the lord of the lagna and the lord of the 9th afflicted and ill-placed, and not favourably influencing their own bhavas.[16]
