CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
The antiquity of Indian Astrology is as remote as tbe
Vedas. It forms one of the Angas of the Atharva-Veda.
The Jyotish Shastra (Astrology), as mentioned in the Atha-
na-Veda, consists of one hundred and sixty-five verses
only. In fact , the whole of the Jyotish-Shas, ra then con ..
listed, was on observing the movements of the Sun,
the Moon, thei r passage through the constellations
(Nokshatras), a nd assigning a certain significance to them,
and was then made more appli cable to a Mundane
Astrology than to a judic ial one. It will thus be leen
that the origin of the present day Astrology is to be
fO\Jnd in the Atharva-Veda-Jyorish, the probable date
of which, according to Dixit and others, ia 900 to
1500 B.C.
No mention is made in it of the signs (RashiJ) of
the zodiac. Signs had no existence then. It must not be
supposed, however, that the division of the zodiac into
twelve parts was not known to the Hindus in those time. ;
but the twelve parts were then known by different names.
The ancients wholly depended on the Nakshatras and
their qualities. As lime went by, owing to the invalions
of the Muslims and Greeks. and' their association with
our people, thei r science got mixed up with OUfS, and
the present astrology. as it is studied and practised, is a
combinatiOr, of Chaldean, Grecian and Egypti an A.tro
logy. We are not entering here into a discussion of
[ I )
claiming priority of the science for Hindu:!. I. is proved
beyond doubt by Sankar Balkri.1hna Dixit, in his Blrar-
liya Jyotish Shastra (History of Indian Amonomy), It.
book written in Maratbi, but now translated in Engli,b.
Tbil claim of priority is further supported by Sepharlal
in hil book "The Science of Foreknowledge" in the
chapter on Indian Astrology.
As regards Directional Astrol ogy (that part of Astro-
loay which predicts the timing of events in life, indicated
by the Nata l Chart) of tbe Hindus (tbe Dasa Paddhali) is
quite unique.
Tbis system, as mentioned in ancient astrological
works of Hindus is no where else to be found in any
part of the world. It is the simplest hown system of
Timing tbe Events. though Directional Astrology is
known to be tbe most difficult to understand. One can
gauge how difficult It is from the rollowing words of
that great English Astroloier, Raphlul written in the
preface of his "Guide to Astrology." He writes : "The
part of Astrology which relates to the determination
of f u t u r ~ events is the most difficult, the least under-
Itood, and perhaps the most unsatisractory, part. I may
be allowed to say that the unsatisfactory conditi on of
this part' is a wise intervention of God, for, if one knew
for certainty what wa5 goina to happen at a particular
time, mOlt of the world would either be lunatics or
commit suiCides. " .
Tbere arc many kinds of DaSQs. Parashoro, in his
book, bas mentioned about 42 of them, but of tbese,
J'imsottari Dasa is the most popular, with which we arc
for the present concerned in this book. In the choice of
any particular type of Dasa, the criterion mUlt be that
of experience and VimlQttari has answered this test. The
total period is for 120 years and it is divided into nine
[ 2 [
parts presided by the Sun, the Moon, five planets and
by Rahu and Kethu (Dra!;on's Head and Dragon's Tail).
The position of the MOOD at birth is important In tbe
calculation of the Da$cu. Every constellation covers 13
0
.20'
degrees of the zodiacal space. Each Nakshatra has a
planet assigned as its Lord and the Dasa at birth;s deter
mi:\cd by the c::>nltiJation occupied by tHe M.>on at the
moment of birth.

The total of the different periods is 120 years whicb.
is considered a. the natural life period of a human bein,.
But there are eltamples of persons having lived longer. The
combinations for such horoscope!, call be found in any
s(;lndard work of Indi an Astrology. The positi on of the
Moon at birth determines the ruling poriod. And the next
Dasas. lucceed in the order given above. If at birth time
the Moon is in the first degree of the Nakshatra, the full
period assigned to the planet will run. If the Moon occu
pies some intermediate degrees, accordingly period r,rtust
be reduced.
We sball ~ i v e below the method of findinll the ruling
Dasa and its balance at birth. Take a birth when the
Moon is in Taurus 25

of Marl Dasa 6)' 1m lSd, 10 minutes will indicate 1m
Id 4 minutes will indicate 13 days and 22 seconds will
indicate I d:\y. Add all these figures, and we will get 1m
lSd, This is to be subtracted from 6)' 1m lSd, as the
Moon Iud advanced for more t ban lSD, which will give you
the balanl,;C of6 years in Ma rs Dasa at the time of birtb.
Similarly, you can work out with any of the Horoscope.
After finding out the DaJa, the sub-periods in each of
the parti cul.ar period must be det ermined. (The Tables
are provided at the end of this book for ready reference).
We shaH give an easy method by means of which the sub-
periods ( BlrukIis) can be independently calculated.
Multiply the nU(,lber of years of the Dasa period of
the planet by the number of the years of the Dasa period
of the planet whose l ub' period is desired. Then cutting off
the last figure of the product, multiply it by 3 and keep
that figure as days, the other figur es in the product will
be month" Suppose we want to find the sub-period of
the Sun in the major period of Venus, multiply the
Dasa term of Venus 20 yea rs by that of tbe Sun 6 yrs,
i.e. 20 X 6 = 120 - 12 months. There is a zero for tbe
last figure of the product and therefore tbe sub-period is
12 months.
Find the sub-peri od ofRabu in Jupiter's major period:--
Rahu's period being 18 years and that of Jupiter 16 yean
18 x 16 =- 288 "", 28 months and 24 days.
-The Bhuktls are furtber subdivided into still more
minute divisions t.: all ed the Antilras or inttr-peri odsj these
into sub-sub-sub-peri ods and so on, till swora or the
period necessary for tile inhaling and the exhaling of breath
is reached. Nevertheless for all practical purposes, the
sub-sub-periods ( on/oras), will be fouod 10 be quite
[ 41
sufficient. The anlaras (sub-sub-periods) have to be deter-
mined for each. Bhukti (sub-period).
Example: Required the an/ura' (sub-sub-period) of
Jupiter in the sub-period of Saturn in the major period of
Kethu :-
Kethu's period 7 years.
Saturn's sub-period in Kethu is 13 months and 9 days.

In 13 months and 9 days - _ x 13 months, 9 days -= 1

We know now to find the unexpired (balance of)
Dura at birth, With the expired portion of Dora at birth
there are certain sub periods (Bhuktir) ruling under the
period which have also expired. After determining tbem, we
can say under what sub-period one's birth has occurred.
To do this, find all the sub-pl!riods (Bhuktis) in period
(Dasa). Add together lhe Bhuktis from the beginning of
JWlfna Dora (ruling period), one by one till the total is
little in eltcess over the expired portion of Dasa. at birth.
Dimnish the aggregate by tne expired part of birth Dasa
and the remainder give5 the balance of unexpired Bhuktl
(of the planet in question) at birth.

The results likely to hll.ppen during such periods, sub-
periods and inter-periods as a result of planetary position.
have been sketched in the subsequent chapters of this
book.
It would not be out of place here to mention what
others who have studied the Doso system of Directing
think ahout it. "Sepharial", a European Astrologer of
repute, who has tried his utmost to solve the problem or
the planetary periods of Jljmsottari Doso, though still
unsuccessful in his effort, writes in his Manual of
Astrology: "Let us grant, for the purpose of investigation
that tte periods of the planets are the results of experi-
ence, and tbat at once the intelligent Astrologer would be
prepared to find that tbere is lome underlying numerical
harmony by which this apparently arbitrary division of
the life period is brought into line with all we know of
Astral Science, and, although we are quite prepared to
find it so, at the present time we are not in a pmition to
state that the said harmony actually exists. Experience is
the great test; and, had not experience proved to the
truth of the deductions of the Hindu we
should not deem this exposition worth writing."
Vimsottari dasa is considered to be the best for
Ka/iyuga, which fact is evident from ancient authorities
cited in that valuable work known as "Daso Phal Darpon"
and supported by the experience of astrologers in India.
The following are the general principles for assessing the
results of Vimlottari MohadaSQ.
A dasa will prove good (I) if its lord is benefic 'to
logno. (2) is strong in Ish to Shadbala, (3) occupies its
exaltation, own or friendly sign in kendra, trikona, or
11th house, (4) has more than the requisite number of
bindus in Sarvashtavarga, (5) is in Arohan/J (in its upward
! 6 1
course from its debilitated to exalted sign), (6) is In
between benefic.s. (7) and if strong benefiCl occupy or
aspect the kendra and trikona bouses from Dasonatha.
A dOJa will prove bad (I ) if its lord is weak, (2)
bas Kashta Shadbala, (3) occupies its debilitated sign or
6th, 8th or 12th house from lagno, (4) is combust, (5)
bas less tban the requisite numberof bindus in Sarllashtava
rga, (6) is in Allarohanam (in its downward course from
its exalted to the debilitated sign). (7) is hemmed in
between malefics, (8) is in bhava, rasi or Riksha Sandhi
(the last nallOmsa of Kalaka, Vrishchika and Muna,
and (9) if strong malefics occupy or aspect the kendra and
Irikona houses from Dasanotha.
Wben a lagna malefic is weak, he becomes powerless
to do bad, even as a serpent i3 rendered harmless when
its fangs are removed.
When Dasonatha is exalted in rasi and debilitated in
amsa, tbe results arc mostly bad. If. on other hand, he
is debiliu.ted in rasi and exalted in amsa, good results
may be expected.
In the daJa of Kendradhipatl, tbe bhukti of the
Trikonadhipati gives excellent results. Similarly in tbe
dasa of Trikonadhipathi tbe bhukti of Kendradhipathi gives
good results.
Generally when a bhukti lord is 6th. 8th and 12th
from Dasanatha bad results are produced. lf the bhukti
lord is in kendra or trlkona or 11 tb from Dasanalha,
good results bappen.
It is a general rule in astrology that a benefic dasa
does not give its good resuit! in its own bhukli unl ess it
proves fatal in its latter pari.

CHAPTER II
RATIONALE OF VIMSOITARI
No clear-cut and authoritative rules seem 10 exist io
Astrological literat ure to explain the basis of arrangement
of the twelve signs of the zodiac and the allotment of
planetary ownership 10 different signs. The more onc
thinks of tbe subject, the more perplexing it becomes.
Nothing could be more puzzli ng than the all ot ment of
periods ranging from 6 to 20 years in the Vimsollari
system of direction which is adopted by a large numbe r of
astrologers. It is, therefore, of academic necessit y to fill
in the void by a reconstruction of theory within the scope
, offered.
Parasara Hora does not offer any clue in solving the
mystery about its or igin. One cannot delect symmetry or
balance in these numbers. It would be almost certai n
that these individual numbers of years a re intrinsic to the
planets themselves.
The Astrological Magazine has published articl es ex-
plaining the Rati onale of Vimsotta ri Oasa. A number of
theori u have been put forwa rd in an effort to eKplai n the
reason for this particular all otment.
1. A noteworthy effort in solving the riddle of Vimsot-
tori Dasa has been that ofR. Jagannathan, who has tried to
use the well-known astr onomical law, i.e. the Bode's law,
for its solution. The results of his analysis are contained
in an article ent itled " Bode's Law and DaJo System"
published in The Astrological Mag(lzine, October 1965
[ 8 J
(Reproduced for ready refNence).
Bode's Law and Oasa Systems
As to the basis of Dasa systems, Ashlottari and Vim-
sottari, a questiclfl was raised by a reader (vide The
Astrological Maguzine, April 1965, page 398, Q Ila) and
I make an attempt to solve the riddle with my little know-
ledge obtained through your Magazine. The clue which J
obtained by my efforts, I wish to submit to the revered
Editor and readers alike. In tbis regard, my approach is
only that of simple mathematics.
Bode's Law states (vide The AJtrological Magazine.
December 1963, page 1008. by Wm. J. Tucker): "Lay-out
series of numbers, doubling the preceding figure each time
thus: 0,3,6,12,24,48, etc.; to each of the above numbr:rs
was added the number " 4" and so on. Tbus the formula
becomes: X 2+4.
Hode's Law (as per Elements of Astrology by George
W. Parker, pages 91 and 92) is "D=4+3x 2n-
I
" where
"D" represents the distance of a planet from the Sun, and
"n" the number of the planet beginning with Venus. By
giving to n the values of 1,2,3, etc., the v<riue corres-
ponding to the distance of different p l a n e t ~ from the Sun
commencing Venus are fOl/nd to he the same as mentioned
above. "
"Write down the following numbers in which each
after the first is doubled :-0, I, 2, 4, 8 etc. Now
multiply by 3 and add 4 to each and we get 4, 7, 10, 16,
28 etc."

Here it should be noted that this formula does not
apply to Mercury. Hence we begin with
Now. instead of x 2+4 and x3+ 4 t ake mOleformula
and apply to Ash/Oflart Dasa (A.D.) and Dasa
(V. D.) variously for different se ts of planets to find out
the periods as follow and it will be seen that correct anSA
wers were obtained, again leaving some problems to be
solved .

Vlmsottari Das.
Unlike in A.D., here tbe formula applied are many
for individual and different groups of planets respec
tively. But all are quite reasonable and the rationale taken
into consideration is of planets in inferior, superior,
interior and exterior posi tions calculated from both hello
and leo-centres.

The Moon is both inferior and superior, I.e., its
motion is below and above the orbit of the earth; hence
two positions.
Planetary positions are considered from Earth ,to
Saturn anu then Mercury onwards, and numbers have been
allotted serially I to 7. For luminaries, the Sun. the
inferior Moon and the superior Moon, numbers allotted
serially are 1,2, and 3 as a different group.
It should be particularly noted, though planetary
numbers are 6 and 7 for Mercury and Venus assigned
afkr Saturn, they are in ascending order from the Sun
indicating that our ancient authorities on Vimsollari Vasa
had clear idea of the planets' proximity to the SUIl.
The following diagram gives a total picture of Dasa
period in Vimsollari Dasa :

Periods for Asteroids are not allotted in the Vimsottari
Dl.lsa, the reason being perhaps that they a re regarded as
a planet broken into 300 pans approximately with four
i.e. Vesta Juno, Ceres, and Pallas. Suppose for
this Ihe above !'ormula is applied, does it solve the ques
li on iftakcn into account? I request the readers to inves-
tigate this problem.
For the planets, beyond Saturn, i.e., Uranus. Neptune
and Pluto; applying similar formulae to suit the modern
age, i.e., allotting numbers from the Sun and Earth inde
pendently, we get ;-

Here. please note the total periods for the inferior
Moon and the superior Moon (12 +7= 19 years) coincides
with a metollic cycle, i.e . in every 19 years there are
exactly 235 lunations. At the end of every 19 years and
with the Sun and the Moon returning to the same posi
tions with respect to the fixed stars, all the
phases of the Moon will occur once again on the same
days and months for the next 19 yea rs.
If for the planets Uranus, Neptune and Pluto the
peri ods 6,7. and 8 are assigned afrer Saturn and added to
120 years in VimSQllari Dasa (120+75), we get 195 yea rs
""-hich is greater by one metonic cycle (1' 5-176) = 19
yea rs.
From above, it is clear that ancient Hindu astrono-
mers. even before Bode had applied hi s formula. had
developed their own methods as to the period of the
planets.
X 3+4= 22. X 3+4=25 X 3+ 4=28
= Total 75 years
2. The approach of Mlhira of the Astrological Maga-
zine fame is built upon the premise that when yea rs
allotted to the vari ous planets are added together in
vMious wa ys, they yield interesting results. However
interesting these results may be. tbey offer no clue to
solving the mystery or their origin. (Page 129, January
1966, reproduced for ready reference).
" This question bas been answered in the early issues
of the Astrological Magazine. Thl!Y are reproduced here
briefly. PlanelS foll ow each other in the orbital order. A
study of the dingrnm given below will illustrate many
points and harmony and balance are behind the number
of years ascribed.

Saturn rules Capricorn, the 10th sign of the zodiac
which is on the top of the circle. The other planets are
arranged round this circle following the direction of the
signs or constell at ions. That is the dua next to Saturn's
is Mercury's and this is placed next to it on the left. Next
in order comes Kethu and this is placed next and so on for
the rest of the planets. When this arrangement is com pIe
ted, Saturn is opposite to the Sun and the MOn con
sidered as one unit. Rahu comes automatically opposite
to Kethu (180"), Mercury opposite to Jupiter (90") and
Venus opposite Mars (90")

The more the said diagram is eX8T1).ined. the more will
it yield results. But all Ihat will be beyond the scope of
tbese columns.

3. As indicated by Mihira that further re, earch is
possible on the lubject of planet ary peri ods. with the aid
of the sketch, T. Ramachandran helped himself a bit in
the study, making suitable modifications to the diagram.
But to our mind, he has miserably failed to make out the
reasonable case. To a reader it provides nothing. (October
1970, page 925, reproduced for ready reference).
Draw the hexazonal fi gure BCOFGH as shown in the
Diagram wit h A and B as midpoints of the top and
bottom sides HB and FD. Join GS, GO, HF, FC, AE,

Cancer and constel lati ons Rohini, Hasta and Srovano, and
tbe latter owning Leo and aster isms Krittika, UttoraphaJ-

the poi nts D. E, F, G, and H represent the planets in tht
order of Vimsotlari Dora. The natural numbers of signl.

opposing Capricorn and Aquarius (Point G). Of course
Rahu and Kethu oppose each other at points E and A.
Tbe Dasa year, of planets are also given at the points.
A number of issues can be deduced from the diagram:
Adding natural numbers of the signs of opposi ng

Triangle FHC (Jupiter, Mercury. the Moon and the

The sum of the triangular combinations which exclude
Rahu and Kethu work out roughl y equal :

and the sun) 17+ 7+ 10+ 6=(,0 years.
Triangle DEFG (Mars, Rabu, Jupiter Bnd Saturn)

Nou,' It is interesting to note that the triangle DFG
represe nts three superior planets who depend on their
own mean motion for their geocentric posi tion and the
triangle HBC covers inferior planets.
2. Quadrilateral BCDE (Venus, the Moon, the Sun
Mars and Rahu) 2 0 ~ 1 0 + 6 + 1 + 18= 61 years.
Quadrilateral FGHA (Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury and
Kethu) 16+ 19 + 11+ 7= 59 years.
3. Triangle GHAB (Saturn. Mercury. Kethu and
Venus) 19+ 11 + 1+ 20=1J3 years,
Triangle CDEF (the Moon, the Sun, Mars, Rahu and
Jupiter) 10+ 6 + 1+ 18 + 16=51 years.
[ 17 J
Similar such deductioDs can probably be drawn in an
ullimated and interesting way by furth er research.
It further occurred to me that the natural benefics and
natural malefics should have an equal say in the sharing
of the total period of 120 years. I have assumed Mercury
-Benefics. as well associated and the Moon as neutral in
this analysis.
Benefics: Jupiter 16 years Benefics
Venus 20 years Total 16+ 20 , 17-53 yean
Mercury 17 years
Neutral Moon 10 years
Natural Sun 6 years Malefics
Malefics: Mars 7 years Total 6+ 7+ 19+ 18+ 7=
57 years
Saturn 19 years
Rahu
18 years
Kethu 7 years
Ir the total period of 120 years had been equally divi
ded between the nine competing planets, each will on an
average get J 3 years and 4 months. 1 he three natural
benefics get a share larger than thi s average (3 x -I3!-
40 years) whi ch probably is justified for the reaSOD that
the naluI'al malefics outnumber the natural benefics. Can
we caU this a balancing Si gnificati on of life?
One more feature t hat can be pointed out in the
allotment of the Dasa years for the planets is that there
is some order of alternating malefics and benefic element
in the numerical values if the periods are arranged in Ii.
descending "order:
[ 18 I
Venus 20 Benefics

I
Malefics
Rahu 18 I
Mercury 171
I
Benefics
Jupiter 16 I
Moon JO Depends
Mars 7 I
Kethu 71 Malefics

Benefics and mal efics get interleaved in the above
which seems again a genui ne purposive design. Incident
ally, the planetary order for the YimJoltari Dasa follows
neither geocent ric nor heliocentric sequence and this point
offers abundant scope for research.
4. The article "Ralionale of Yimsottari" appeared on
page 99, January 1972, where the author says that he has
found the rati onale behi nd this system. The author has
mathematically related the number of years a ll oted to
each of the planets to their points, the stars in
which they 'occur, etc. That was really an origi nal con
cept and e"planation and it goes to prove that what our
a ncients t hought of could be " thought of" again. But
the author admits, it is, however, possible that the origi
nator of Vimsottari Dasa might have arrived at these
values by a m=thod ot her than the one adopted here.
(reproduced for ready reference).
Rationale of Vimsottarl
The two operative pa rts of Vimsotttui that cannot be
considered as scientific unless vi ndicated by logical .
reasoning are the ones relating t o (a) Dasasequence. and
t 19 J
(2) all ot ment of Dasa periods. It is obvious that a trad j
t ional system t ike V;msotfari be necessarily based on
sound astrological truth and could not have been
arbitrarily drawn up. Thererore, a scientific analysis of
the working of the method vi s a-vis the fundament al
principles of astrology should reveal the design of the
scheme sati sfactorily.
The most si gnificant feature of this system is the place
give n to the Moon. In fact, the Moon is the kingpin or
master of ceremonies under this scheme. Considering
that the pur pose of the sys tem is to keep track of t he
changi ng fortunes of man, a fast moving planet like the
Moon could alone keep pace with and indicate more
clearly the changing influences. The role of the Moon
assumes greater importance under this system.
Apart from the broad division of the Zodiac into
t welve signs, there is another smaller but more cO"'lpact
divi sions into 27 zones. Such II division is marked against
the constcl1at ional backdrop of the Zodiac. These divi-
sions are identi fi ed by the names of the major stars in
each of the constellations. Vimsottari has adopted with
advantage t he 27 star zones, in preference to twel ve signs.
The zodiac being a circle. any point therein makes as
good a start ing point as the other . However. the Moon
being the maste r of ceremonies here, it is but logical that
for purposes of reckoning under this scheme, the beginit
ing should be from the place ind icated by the Moon. This
could naturall y be its exaltati on place. Accordingly
Krirtika is the choice and the Sun is allotted its lordship,
being the head of the famil y.
There are five planets, t wo luminaries and two nodes
recognised as Grahas in Hindu Astrology that are capable
of influencing human affai rs . Whilst the Sun takes the
number one position, the protocol with regard to Other
! 20 J
planets needs to be arranged methodically, Prof. B.V.
Raman in his book Hindu Predi cfire Ajtrology 1970
edition, page 51) has clearly explained the principles Of:
which such an arrangement is to be based . To quote
from the text: " If we replace the Sun by the Earth, then
we find that the nearest planet to the Earth, viz., the
Moon rules the nearest sign to Leo, viz. , Cancer, etc."
The same principle holds good for allocation of star lord-
ships as well. If we replace the Sun by the Earth, we
have, on one side, the satellite Moon and ot her superior
planets, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn in order of their proxi-
mity to the Earth. Arranged in a similar order we have,
on the other side. Venus dose to the Eanh and then
Mercury. The Nodes; Rahu and Kethu, aTe only points
of intersection on opposite sides. But they are symboli-
cally recognised as Chaya-Grahos and therefore they are
also to be accommodat ed under this scheme. On one side
of the Earth. we have four superior planets. By inter-
secting this group in the centre we prm ide for the senior
of the Choyo-Grahas-Rahu. among the superior planets.
On the opposite side, Kethu find. a posi tion in the middle
of the two inferior planets. Finally we replace the Earth
by the Sun and we get the ring-formati on as under:
EARTH

Stat(ina Irom the Sun, who getS' the lordship or
Krillika constellation, the lordship of other constellations
to lollow Irom Krillika are allotted in the same order 01
the formation described above.
As the zodiac is divided into 27 each
constellation extend ing to 13
0
20' Krirrika to Pubba accom-
modate nine planets and accordingly constitute one cycle.
As a result we get 120 per cycle. Considering one degree
as equal to one year denoles a period of 120 years.
But to interpret that the 120 year cycle of Vimsottari
represents the maximum term of a human life would
be contrary to astrological principles. The longevity of
man is determined by the quantum of Prarabdlla
Karma. Since thert is no ceiliDg on Karma as such, t here
can be none on human longevity either. It can be obser-
ved that Vimw lfari Dasa sequence mechanism can account
for noy length. of life, as Dasa periods follows one another
in a set of sequence repeating themselves any number of
times.
Other things heing equal, the Dasa period of each
planet should have been equivalent to I r 20' in terms of
years, by virtue of lordship (If constellation in the cycle.
However, this value gets altered depending upon the
posi tion of the constellation in the Zodiacal setup.
Except the Nodes who have no body, the othe.r five
planc:ts and two luminaries have their places of exalta-
tion in the Zodiae. So long as their exaltation point
happens to be in thei r own constellation, it would not
materially affect. But when a planet gds exalted in the
constellation of luminary. it will absorb half of tbe bright-
o.:ss of the luminary. Whereas a planet being less bright
than a luminary would part with only a quarter of its
br ightness when another planet gets exalted in its constell-
ation. Therefore the net value of each of the planets
[22 I
needs to be worked out accordingl y. The Nodes can
nei ther affect nor gu affected because of their invisi ble
body. But Rahu constitl.lting the body and head
for the vall.le of Kethu also. Since neither of any indepen-
dent status they are bracketed with Saturn and Mars
respecti vely with whom they share equa:ly.
the equivalent of 13 20' as the base-value
of each planet, we can now arrive at the net va lues mathe-
matically. When we obt ain fracti ons, only round figures
a re considered and the fraction is ca rri ed over to the next
stage, so that by the time we reach t he last stage, no
fracti on remai ns.
Starting with the SUI1, we find that the Sun gets exalted
in Aswini, the lord of whi<: b is Kethu. a Node. Therefore
this will not a ffect the basic value of the Sun in any way.
But the Moon gets exalted in Kriftika, the lord of which is
the Sun. Being a lumi nary, tbe Sun parts with half of
value in favour of the Moon.

In this analysis, a logical explanation could be found
in respect of Dasa-sequence as well as allotment of Dasa
periods, which had hitherto been considered inexpl icable.
It is, however, possible that the originator of Vimwllar;
Dasa mi ght have arrived at t hese val ues by a method
other than the one adopted here. The subject of astrology
being versatile, it casily lends itself to varied adoptations
without destortion of basic truths. The purpose of this
[ 25 )
is t o prove that the traditional astrol02icai
are based on sound and scient ific princi ples and
are not gimmicks.
As observed earlier. the Moon is the mast er of cere
monies here. It is therefore logical to infer that the Time
Measure adopted under this system should be by Lunar
reckoning, the units bei ng Thithi , Nakshatras, Paksha,
Masa and Sanll'a/ sara etc. It is therefore very i",portant
to use rectifical factor, should any other Time Measure
be appli ed for the sake of convenience.
5, M.S. Sitharamia h, in his art iclc ""'Dimensions of
Research-IV" page 493, J une 1 74 provided
other explanations. He states: Once we accept the pr inci ple
that every rule in ancient astrology is based on reason,
we coul d confidently search for thi s reason. (reproduced
for ready refc:rence).
" There could be othe r explanat ions as well : why is the
t iny Mercury treatcd equal t o the colossal planet Saturn
(17 year and 19 year Dasa respectivel.x) ?
The seque nce of Vimsottari Dasa is another point of
discussion in Astrological Maga:i"e. But. I find a reason-
ablc explanation in that they foll ow a pattern according
to the ir orbi ts but linked in a circle. Thi s may require
some explanation. If one draws a line after the Moon
a nd arranges the Dasas on their side, the total s are equal:
Mercury Kethu Venus Sun Moon
17 7 10 6 10
Mars
7
Total 60 years
Rahu Jupiter
18 16
Total 60 years
Saturn
19
The di viding line. I feel, is in the Eanh or which the
Moon is a satell ite. I n other words, where the Moon is,
there lies the Earth.
[ 26 1
The next interesting point is the cycle of Vimsouari.
Why \'ere they arranged in that order, and linked in a
circle to be continuous. I have tried to project this in the
form of a diagram below:
MOON
SUH
MARS
VENUS


KETHU
MER('UR'Y -
SATURN
A careful look at the di agram above will show that
from the Sun, it takes a cl ockwise direction. but the
pla nets are arranged in exactl y oppos ite of what they
are in the houses according to the South Ind ian Sq>l are
KU/ldali . If the Sun is removed from the ci rcle, we
notice that the sequence is Mercury. Venus- Moon( Eartn)_
Mars.Jupiter-Saturn with Kethu interposed after Mercury
and Rahu aft er Mars. If one' forgets for a moment Kethu
and Rahu, the rest of the planets fall in their respect ive
orbits round the Sun.
This explanati on al so shows that the Earth (proxy
heing the Mood) has been located in the correct place.
So the oft repeated accusation that Hindu took the eart h
as stationary a nd the Sun as revolvinj round it 'seem to be
unwarranted. Presumably. they gave the Moon which
[ 271
attracted water on the earth all the earth's attributes as
we ll. In fact the Moon is the greater dist urber of earth's
seasons and orbit than the Sun.
6. The article "On origin of 'he Vimso(fari Dasa,"
appeared on page 51, of the 1976 Annual Number, we
were happy to see the heading, as the author also says
that he has found the rational.: behind this system. On
going through it, we were shocked at the exercise in
unrealities and illogical formulat ions. Table III is the
brain child of his imagination, which makes no sense t o the
reader. This approach is full of complicated artificially.
Instead ef explaining the ratiollale behind this Table
1111, the author takes protect ion with the rema rks: "A
detaileli rel' iew of ,hese considerations is IInfortllnately
II ot po.uible in an article of this kind anti the aulilor is
perforce obliged to produce helow only the ultimate COIl-
c1usions of all the re/erollt factors."
Such articles will only do more harm than good to
the cause of Astrology. It is not worth to write any
more about it or to reproduce any part of it .
7. Many questions have been asked from time to
time in the col umns "Your Scientific Difficulties So/red",
The Astrological Magazine but Millira had no answer for
them:
I.
2.
3.
Q3, page 717, August 1962: The author is not
kno .... n. Parosara is the fir st known author . of a
work containing details about this system.
Presumably even before Parasara, this system.
was practised. Probably because Vimsollari
gives better results.
Q I I, page 398, April 1965: It is not known.
N. V. Shastri, in his article "Some Obsen'ations
on Sa/uTll's Dasa." September 1965, page 807
observes: " It is Dot known how ancients fi xed
[ 28 J
J9 years.as the total duration for the dasa.
feel number 19 is rul ed by the Sun, and Saturn is
the son of the Sun."
8. Yet another soluti on is offered by Dr. V.G. Rele
in his book entitled "The Dm!('fivno/ Astrolog)' of
Hindus". This theory is based on t wo primary considera-
tions. The author in this exposition of Vi ,lIso/luri Dasa
tried to explain as besl as he could how the periods and
lords came to be a ~ i g n e d to the planets and why a
certain order was foll owed.
9. From a scientific point of view, we cannot say
wit h any soct of definiteness, upon what basis each planet
is all otted a certai n number or yea rs as its term of Dasa.
But in actual practice the Dasa System yields very satis-
factory results-Dr . B. V. Raman, Hindu Predh'tiw!
Astrology.
As long as we arc ignorant of the basis of Dasas, we
cannot condemn them as clumsy and unreliable. It is
ignorance as to their origin that perhaps makes people
scept ic in accepting this system as reliable. If that is
removed, they wi ll have very litt le to say against it.

CHAPTER IV
TIME FACTOR-"YEAR"
When one takes to the study of Hindu Astrology, he
is to seek guidance from tbe ancient classical texts and
fr om the val uable writings of learned authors based on
their pcrson3.l learnings and experiences. When we took
to the studies of Hindu Astrology, we were confronted
with many One is of Time Factor-"Year"
I. Many questions have been asked fr om time to
time in the col umns " Your Scientific Difficulties Solved,"
of the Astrological Magazine, about the time factor-
year' in VimSultDr; Dosa, but the answers have been more
of a confusion than of solution. Some of them are as
under :
I. For Dasas or planetary peri ods, does year mean
360 days or 365 days- Januaty 1955, page 131 :
A. This question has been answered several times,
For purposes of dasa, one year means 365 days. If Sun's
dasa begins. say on ). 111954, it lasts till 110-1960. If
this rule is foll owed,. there is no difficulty.
2. Does one year of dasa constitute 365 or 360 days?
The total of o/lfli ra dasa comes to only 360 days. How
is the difference of 5 days to be dealt with. January
1956. page 149.
A. The periods giyen for Onthra dasa total only 360
days for faci lity calculation. But if the corresponding
calendar date is tahn, it will work 365 days .
3. As per books, the Dasas and Bhu/:>Iis are eateu
[32J
lated as 360 days per year. What is the procedure for
calculating the difference of 5 or 6 da ys per yea r-Jul y
1956, page 565.
A. Only the duration of sub periods is calculat ed at
31)0 days per year for facilit y of calculation. The year
always advances at the rate of 365 days per year. This
will not effect if the correspondi ng calendar dates are
taken for reckoning, e.g.
Birth
Saturn's Dasa will be over
Mercury's Dasa will be over
and so on.
10-71935
10-9-
20-4-1944
17
20-4-1961
4. It is stnted that the Mollodasa peri ods under
Vimsottari Dasa relate to 360 days each while the normal
year is 365. 25 days. Take the case of a person who
sta rts with a balance of Venus Dasa 14 yea rs 5 months
and 11 days on 12-9-1901: What will be the Dasa Bhukti
now? August 1956. page 631.
A. No doubt there is difference of view as to which
year is to.be adopted for Virr.softari Dasa. But Pha/a-
deepika is the authority that it should be only a yea r
of 365 dnys .
.5. When calcul at ing of dasa periods, a
month is taken 30 days and year 360 days . Actuall y it
is 365 days. Which to take 360 or 36.5 days.' Januury
1962, page 560.
A. The for Dasa is the Sola r Year of 365 days.
The year of 360 days does not exist in reality. Suppose
the birth date 1-1-1941, and 20 yea rs of Venus at birth.
the Sun's dasa begins on 1-1-1961. Are not 20 years of
[ 33-1
365 days each incfuded in.
6. In the calculation of Vimsotlari, what is the value
for one year - 360 days or 365 days. October 1963,
pllge 873.
A. Phaladeepika is authority fo r the statement that
one Solar Year (365, days) is the year to be taken for
Vimsottari calculations.
7. If the years of Udu Daso are of 365 days, each
bhukti must have some ghotis more, but no bhukti is like
thrlt. They are 0-6-0, 0-3-18, etc. What about 51 days.
July 1964, page 623.
A. As t he yea rs, months and days are uniforml y
connected with calendar months and da ys, llctually this
difTen::nce will be absorbed in the calculation of each
year, e.g., suppose birth is 1-1-1900. and there is a
balance of 5y 3m 18 days in Sun's dasa :
Sun's Dasa 5,
)m
18 d 19-4-1905
Moon's Dasa 15y 3m 18 d 19-4-1915
Mar's Oasa 22,
)m 18d 19-4-1922
and so on.
Similarly bhukti also:

and so on
8. For Vimsotlori and Ashtollori, is the year to be
reckoned as 360 days or 365 days. Janua ry 1966. pale 127.
[ )4 J
A. It has been answered in these columns times out
of number that there is the authority of Phaladeepika for
the year to be taken as of 365 days vide Chapter XIX,
Verse 4 : "Note the exact position of the Sun in the
zodiac at the time of birth. When the Sun is in next
round arrives at the same position, it is considered as
one Solar Year which is also the year taken for Udu
Dasa System. By sub-dividing the same, days also
calculated.
9. Is it necessary to subtract 5.114 da ys per year in
determining the dasa period 1 December 1967 page 1141.
A. No, the question has already been answered
several t imes in these columns with authorit y quoted.
10, Whether 360 or 365 days are to be taken as one
year for Udu Dasa calculations, July 1971. page 724.
A. Bhaltotpala in his commentary on Brillat Jataka
quotes Rishi Gargi's dictum that the Savana measure of
360 days alone should be u!ed in the matter of Ayurdaya,
Prayaschilta, etc. In his own gloss on the above,
Bhattotpala unequivlcally declares that S a ~ a l / a measure
should -be used in Dasa-phala calculations. Tradition
and experience support to this usage.
!J . Vimsottari Dasa is calculated on the bas is of
S a ~ a n a Masa System. i.e. 30 days a mont h. But generally
it is being calculated on English Ci:llend:t r months. or
Sowrantana System or Chandramana System. Any of
the system bave an addi tion 51 days approximately, If
this is followed. there will be difference in DasalBhukti
invariably. So please clarify the same. September 1972.
page 863.
A. This question has been decided for us by the
Rishis, In his commentary on Brillat lataka in the
Dasa-Antardasa Adhyaya, Bhauolpala quotes Rishi
Gargi that: "in tbe matter of Ayurdaya, Prayaschita,
{ 3l]
Sat/ra Yoga, etc., the Savana measure alone should be
used." Commenting on tbis quotation, Bhattotpala
explains," the days, etc. of DaJ(J should be calculated by
Savana calculations." I think it is a mere academic
question .
12. Some astrologers hold that in calculating the
correct time of Mahodasa/ BlllIkti under Vimsottari system,
the difference in days due to and lunar years must be
deducted. For example, if a native has reached 20 years of
age, we should deduct 20x 5= 100 days. This will make a
great difference in calculating the Dasas etc. Please clarify
the right method and if deduction (any) is necessary
for calculating DasafBllUkli; October 1975, page 794.
A. This problem has been wIved for by the Rishis
themselves. Rishi Gargi says-Bhalfotpala in his
commentary of Brihal Jalaka says-Here they advocate
the Saval/o rate of 360 days only for purposes of Dasa
My experience fully supports this practice.

ted 365 days a year before 1971 and after-
wards he made improvements in his obser-
vations. Now he believes in 360 days a year.

Editor" which carryon lengthy debates about which
rule or which ancient sage should be accepted. Some of
them are reproduced to assist the readers to compare
their results with their own ob3ervations :
1. UOU DASA SYSTEM by Jyothirbushanam T.
Rajam, Thiruvaiyaru. April 1955, page 374. '
I have seen various astrologers calculate the dasa
system (Udu Dasa) in different ways (I) Chandramana (2)
Sal'anamana (3) SOl/ramona etc. Neither Parasara nor
any author who followed him have stated in any of
their works to what category of the above mana (measure
{ 36]
these Udu nasa years pertain.
I have seen in the book Nodi Jyolislla by Meella
that in calculating the Ayurdaya of an individual at the
rate of 21,600 breaths for a day, he has reckoned the
life to be 120 years contributed by the nine planets I.e.
93,31. 20.000 breaths as shown here:
Ravi
Chandra
Kuja
Rahu
Guru
Sani
Budha
Kethu
Sukra
21, 600 x 360 x 6 = 4, 66,56,000
21, 600 x 360 x 10= 7. 77,60,000
21, 6oo x 360 x 7 = 5. 44,32.000
21 , 600 x 360 x 18= 13, 99,68,000
21 , 6OO x 360xI6= J2, 44,16,000
21, 600 x 360 x 19= 14, 77. 44,000
21, 600x360x 17= 13,21,92,000
21, 600 x 360x7 = 5, 44,32,000
21, 600 x 360 x 20=15, 55, 20,000
120- 93, 31,20,000
From the above it is seen that he calculated the life
period contributed by the planets at the rate of 360 days
only for a year. This is Savallamalla
On a reference to V.G. Rele's Directional Astrology of
the Hindus as propounded ill Vimsotlari Dasa," one would
see that in his attempt to fix the basis on which the plane-
tary periods have been arrived at, he says all page 27, "So
while taking out the actual geocentric places of planets,
we have to calculate them for the 360tb day, i. e. one ci vil
or SaJ'ana 'year' ,
From these references it is evident that the years
assigned to the planets are Savamana, Le. 360 days a
year.
Against this, Mantheswara, in bis Plraladeepik a Adhyaya
[ 37 J
19, 5/ . 4 stales: Ihat when the Sun arrives at the same
position as at birth, this is one Sourmalla year, that is
otherwise called Udu Dasa Year which is 365 days, 15
ghatika, etc.
Taking an illustraiion, say, for a birth whi ch occurred
on 28th December 1954, according to Chf1ndra sphuta,
the balance of Challdra dasa is 2 years and 6 months and
we shall work out, when his Kuja dasa commences.
If the Phaladupika systetn is accepted, one has to
add to the date of ' birth, the balance of the dasa
years, and also add 10 the date so arrived at, the
difference between Savanamalla and Souramalla i.e.
l3 days etc.
The more appropriate system, I think would be to
convert the balance of the da.sa to days at 360, reduce
these days to calendar days, months, years, elc. and add
it to the date of birth.
I shall be obliged if you or any of your valued contri-
butors would give a correct lead in the matter, so as to
enable the va rious astrologers to follow the correcl
system.
2. K. Krishna Iyer, Sambavarvadakara, September
1958, page 844 observes:
"According to Phaladeepika, the yea r means the Solar
Year and so there is no need of deducting 5 days per
!' ear for Nakshatra Dasa. Also as results of one dasa
natha and another overlap each other and also as there is
such a variety of Ayanamsa adopted by many astrologers,
I do not think, there is any need to be so accurate as
regards the beginning of Dasa and Bhuktis for the
present till the question of Ayanamsa is finally settled.
3. M.F. Wickremsinghe, Colombo, August 1961.
page 708 observes:
"I have always found the balance of dasa correct and
[ 38 J
the events fitting into Dasa, AI/lar-Dasas, and evert
Anlnr-Anlar-Dasa. if the balance of peri od is calculated
on the Poona basis and a dam-)ea r tC'ckonC'd as 360 days
lind nol 365i days. No body knows the correct Aya-
namsa but experience alone will prove that the Poona
basis at 360 days to a Dasa-year is the nearest to the
truth.
4. V.K.S. Prakasa Rao, Vizagapatam. April 1968, page
412. observes:
" Whatever may be the Ayollamsa, according to Udu
Dasa, the results that appe .. r are not completely uniform.
If I take one yea r=360 days onl y for Udu-Dasa
and apply correction to Mr. Lahiri's value I found the
events are correctl y ti med."
5. K.V, Venkataramanan, Erode. Janua ry 1974. page
121 observes:
Hira Guljarani in his article on the above subject in'
The Astrological Magazine, of October 1973. seems t o
think that the year of 360 days adopted in Jlimsottari
Dosa of Hindu Astrology is not correct and recommends
the use of English Calendar year of 365 days. I disagree
with his theory which is against the spirit . practice and
rational of Vedic astrol ogy.
Al.:cording to Mahabharto. ViI'al Parva. Chapler 52.
when Arjulla revealed his identity afte r t he completion of
13 years' exile. Duryodhano raised a technical objecti on
that he had not completed full 13 years basi ng his
calculation on the Solar yea r of 3651 days. But Bheeshma
over-ruled the objection. saying that Arjllna completed
full 13 }ears as per lunar year of 360 days. It clearly
shows that Hindu Sastras recogni sed only lunar year of
360 days for Civil aud legal purposes_ Further. the
zodiac is divided into 360 degrees as per lunar year of
360 days.

"If the results of Dasa Bhukti differ among astro-
logers. it is due to various values of Ayanamsa adopted
by astrologer:> according to thei r pet theories. "
6. M. S. Sitara miah. Bombay, June 1974, page 506
observes:
" Hira Gulrajani, in his above captioned art icle
published in your October 1973, issue has given a new
calculation of funning Dasa different from the long follow-
ed practice thus causing confusion to many like me.
All" tbe astrologers wnom (nave consulted over a peri od
of 50 years have been calculating the Dasa/ Bhukti peri ods
by simple addit ion of days, months and years as the
case may be. On this basis only I have followed the
predictions, which would be sometimes true sometimes
false.
According t o Gulrajani we have to deduct on an
average 'of 5 days after every year of age with an extra
deduction of 5 days every 20 years for the difference on
account of Leap years. In my case, as per the calculations
so far followed my Kethu Bhukt; in Saturn Mahadasa
ended on 12-3-1974. whereas according to Gulraj ani's
theory Venus Bhukti will have begun already. Will this
mean that all the astrologers who have guided me all
along were wrong 1 You will no doubt agree with me
that such startling statements create doubts in the min4
of people about the exactness of astrology.
Could the learned Editor and other astrological
pundits kindly clear thIS confusion and explain what should
be the correct method."
7. K. B. ChouguJe, Aurnal. October 1974, page 795
observes:
.. I am writing about Hindu months and their drects
on finding correct Dasas. Hindu months are based on the
Mooo's rotation. Every year consists of twelve lunar
[40 1
months. Sut there are additional months too. this year
there is additional Bhadrapada. This kind of additional
month occurs every third year. So this makes for a
difference in finding Dasa. But if we deduct these
addition months we can get correct Dasos ert:. It is
better to take into account the Hindu months and years
rather than English years. Suppose a person was born
on July 5. 1954. we should consider it Ashadho Protipod
of IS56 for Dosa reading. This gives correct pUlod of
Dasa and Antar-dasa, Please give me your opinion and
remarks.
8. M.R. Nanda Gopa\, Astrological Magazine. June
1972, page 589. adds another dimension to this complex
problem on Calculating Running Dasa. His observations
are:
" A year is de6ned in different ways depending on the
different planet or star taken as reference. We have the
solar year with 365l days, the lunar with 354 days.
Sovanamano 360 days, Sidereal year with 324 days and
Barhaspathyo or Jovian year with 361 days. Mostly, the
English Calendar is adopted for time and date. Even
here there is a differing number of days in a month and
once in 4 years, there is a leap yea r. Then again in 400
years there is no leap year. All these give rise to small
differences in the timing of events.
The Dasa correction becomes necessary because the
English calendar has 365 days. Udu Dosa system folluws
a sidereal year as it is a stellar dOlo system. A stellar
month is equal to the number of days the Moon takes to
travel from Alwin; to Revati. A stellar yea r is tbus
twelve times the stellar month and the number of days
in a stellar year is 324. There is thus a difference of 41
days. The balance of Dtua is calculated only on a
position of the star at the time of birth and thus the
[41 J
correction of 41 days a year would have to be applied
only to the birth time Dasa. The 4\ day correction
is mostly calculated on the expired portion of the
Dasa and the correction is added to the balance of Dasa
at birth and the other Dasas follows."
ru. The invention of this system is attributed by the
Hindus to the sage of Parsara, whose writings are consi-
dered as the main source of all Hindu astrology. Parsara
is in some ways like Western astrology's own Plolemy-
more abused than used-and there is even some doubt
as to whether his work was authorised by him or was a
compilation of current practice written tInder the name
of the great man many years after his death. Some of
the afticles appeared on the subject in the Astrological
MagaziM are as under:
1. ON CALCULATING RUNNING DASA, by Hira
Gulrajani, October 1973, page 931.
The finding out of the balance of a Mahadasa Period
at birth from the Moon's traverse in a particular constel-
lation under Vimsottari, A.shlottad or for that matter
under any Dasa system stands quite well explained and
needs no further clarification. There after the subsequent
Mahadasa, Bhukfi, and/or Antara periods of concerned
planets under the respective Dasa system are being added
upto the date of birth for finding out the Dasa/ Bhukri
period to predict events.
The periods of planets given in astrological works are
rated at 30 days a month (360 days for a year of 12
months) whereas the English calendar year contains 365
days a year, with on,: day more in a leap year once every
four years. The anomal y appears ' where periods of
respective planets are being added upto the date of birth
according to the English calendar, as is being usually
done. This means, roughly for every six years, we get
[ 42 1
the running Dasa period one month ahead or actual
period. For instance, when we wish to find out as per
usual practice, the commencement of Mercury Bhukti
of Saturn Mahad(Jsa under Vimsollari system c ~ m m e n c l n g
his Saturn Mahadasa from 1-1-\971, what we do is,
Add 03-00-03 of Saturn Bhukti
to 1. 1. 1971 of Saturn Dasa commencement
and obtain 4-1-1974 as commencement of Mercury
Bhuktl.
But if we follow exactly the English calendar year, we
would have to add to 3-0-3 years as 360 days x 3 years =
1080 days, plus 3 days = a total of 1083 days.
We obtai n days according to English calendar as
follows:
From \- 1-\971 Saturn Mahadasa commences
To 1-1 -1972 Add 365 days of 1971
To 1 1-1973 Add 366 days of 1972 ,Leap Ye:lr)
To 1812-1973 Add 352 days of 1973
i.e. From BH2- 1973 Add 1083 days total. com-
mences Mercury Bhukti
Therefore, the difference between the usual practice
and according to the English Calendar comes to exactly
16 days (i.e. 19-1 2-1 973 instead of 4-1-1974) which accounts
for a difference of S days per year for 3 years plus one
day difference of the leap yea r. This difference is obtai ned
only for one Rhllkri. One can imagine the difference
caused in an entire Mahadasa.
Whi le Ihis inconsistency is not likely to bring about
much of a difference in Mahadasa or Bhukti periods, it
is bound to produce quile a difference in finding out
the precise Antara periods. duration of which is quite
short as compared to Mahada$a and Bhukli periods.
Secondl y, this difference would assume quite a major
proportion depending upon the advancement of age for
[ 43 J
individual horoscopes. For instance, with roughly a
difference 5 days per year of age; the difference for an
individual aged 45 years would come to 45 x 5 days.::>
225 days + Ildays of leap years""" 236 days = 7 months
and 26 days , which in the Dasa of planets like the Sun
and Mars under Vimsottari would bring about a
difference even in Bhukti periods as well, not to mention
the difference in Antara periods. Consequently, the
predictions blSed on periods so inacurate arc bound to
produce many misgivings and apprehensions.
It would be very laborious indeed and almost impra-
cticable to actually trace and follow the English calendar
years to find out the precise running Dasa periods. There-
fore suffice if we deduct on an average 5 days after
every year of age with an extra deduction of 5 days more
every 20 years for the difference on account of leap
years.
From my personal experience of scrutiny and veri-
fication of numerous horoscopes, I have found the results
of planets yet to rule being obtained in advance when
the running Daso period is usually found out. But by
following the English calendar I have obtained accuracy
in both verifying past events and predicting events to
follow.
Although such an adj ustment of 5 days per year of
age helps quite a bit in most cases, we cannot and Plust
not conclude it at the final word since, more often than
not, the balance period of Dasa at birth is in it,elf
questionable due to inaccurate time of birth etc."
2. SOME MISGIVINGS ON CALCULATING
DASA by H. R. Shankar. January 1974, page 93:
" In an article appearing in the October 1973 issue of
this esteemed magazine Hira Gulrajani has raised some
serious doubts on the advisability of timina events guided
[ 1
by Vim$otlari Dasa/ Bhuktls in the manner in which is
presently in \'ogue. He contends that there is an inherent
naw in the method of calculation and the results thus
obtained a re an anomal y. According to him there would
be cumulative difference by as much as, one month ror
every 6 yea rs of age of the native between the indicated
operative period under Vimsottari and that of what he
terms as actual peri od. rr we are to go with him in his
line of thinking; it would turn Out that a native may
have to celebrate his 72 birthday even while he has yet
10 complete his 7 1st year urlder Vim$oltari reckoning.
The seed of this confusion apparentl y in the notion of
the contributor is that "The peri od of plane ts given in
astrological works are rilled at 30 days a month (360 days
for a year of 12 months), etc." Nothing could be more
absurd than projecting. as it does, the authors of astro
logical works as so naive and thoroughly lacking in
sense of time measure that they conceived a caledar with
360 days 10 a yea r that is untenable astronomically and
illsui ted for religious and civil purposes, let alone
for timing events. Whereas, actually, the same sages
who have codified for us the astrological truths were also
giants in the field of astronomy and have to their credit
of evol ving systems to compute wi th fine accuracy the
age of the Earth even.
The basis of all our time measure i ... the period of our
world's rotation on her axis. defined as our day. Solar
days and years afe marked by the consequent apparent
motion of the Sun while the Moon's d rcuit relative to'
the Sun marks the lunar month. All calendars extant
nre mere adoptions of one of these two 1 systems.
VimSO(fQr; being basicall y a stellar method, it is logical
to conclud: dllt the reference therein is to luna r
and thithis.
[ 45 )
The synodic period of the Moon is the basis for lunar
calendar. Here the recko ning is done from the day follo-
wing the New Moon ending with the next Ncw Ml)on.
The period named as Masa or luner month is divided
Into thirt y equal thUMs. A ,hilhi is based on elongation
of the Moon from the SUII and marked by the period
taken by the Moon to cover a of [2 ' of an a rc
of the zodiac, each mult iple of 12 as the d ifference in
longitude marking the end of a lhilhi. Thi! lhi/his are
numbered Shukla (bright) I 10 S/lIIkfo! 5 during the waxing
Moon and Krish' la (dark) I I.) Kri., /IIIO 15 during the
waning Moon respel.:lively. The luner months are named
after corresponding solar months in which the initial New
Moon falls. Twelve lunar months make one SamroJ/sara,
each Salnl'a/sara bearing a name commencing
from Prabhava ending with Akshaya completing a cycle
of 60 years, Vilnmllari cycle of 120 y.:ars corresponds
to two of lunar- year cycles.
The duration of a mean IhilIJi being equival ent 10 0.98
of a day, there wi ll be an excess of 10.7!8 days in a sola r
year over twelve months. This difference is peri odicall y
reconciled by the introduction of "Adhika" Masa in tbe
l unar calendar. When two new moon-ending luna r
months begin wi lhin the same sola r mo nth, then the
second month is termed as Sudha or rea! and the first
one is Atlhika bearing the same name. This, incidentall y,
results in Ihe first day of the lunar yea r falling
between March 14 and April 13114 of English calendar .
In othe r words, the age reckoned under lunar calendar
would not be different from that of counting from English
calender except for a marginal difference of few days,
plus or minus.
While the method described in works for
calculation of Dasa and Bhuklis is in units of Thilhi, Masa
[ 46]
nnd Saml'al.mra (as being by the lTaditiona!
scholars belonging to old schoo!) t he purpose would be
equally served even by the dircct application under Eng-
li sh calendar. Astrological prt dlcti ons being indicative
rather than deterministic. a difft rence of few days in tim-
ing cvent s would not substantially distorlthe predicti on .
For those connoisseurs who wish to delve into sookshma
division, the detailed working need he linked
wit h the phase and movement of the Moon.
One would, however, he working as a very sli ppery
ground in tryi ng to align operative p! <lnct:lry pe riods
wi th corresponding evcnts. Invariably, more than one
astrological contr ibutory f<lctor would be invoh'ed in
br inging about an event . To identi fy onl y one force. t6

accuracy, as the principal contributor is more a game

msa riddle most of the resort to this method
of stretching <J nd pruning the operative period to accomo-
date past events nnd then take off from that point.
Though this method is wi dely used. individual expe rience
and talents alone arc the decisiv( factor when it ac tua ll y
clicks.
This inevi tabl y brings us to the core of the problem.
How to muke certain that the balance Dasa period arrived
at for the time o f birth .is the correct projection of t he
horoscopic pattern of events? There need to be a drill or
exercise to check that Vill/sollar; mechanism is positioned
correctly before it is set to work.
With this in view, I am putting forth a working theo ry.
The main theme of Vimsottari and of predict ive aHrology
is that a planet fulfil s its indica ted in t he horos-
cope during its operative period. In order to fi x the opera-
tive period it is necessary to correlate, indubitably, the
, 47 )
evenl wIth a specific pl anet. The event in a man's life
that has universal character is either birth or death. For
obvious reasons birth is the only evo:nt we ;:an consider
for our astrological study ill this context. According to
dictum of astrology, at {he time of birth, the operative
period need necess.<lrily be of a pl anet directly associated
with the nat ive's birth. If we a re to be guided by astro-
logical classics, the bir!h and the nature of birth arc to
be judged from the Moon and the Dwadasamsa position
of the Moon. By stretching this clue. we may, surmise
that the operative period-meaning the AntaralBllUkti
-should be that of the Moon itself or that of the lord
of DwadasaitfOsa sign in whi eh the Moon is posited.
3. DIMENSIONS OF ASTROLOGICAL
RESEARCH-IV by M.S. Sitharamiah, June 1974, page 493.
We have another problem regardi ng Vimsotlari and
other Dasa systems. They are measures in terms of )ea rs.
Rect.: ntly a cont ribut or to the Astrological Magazifle poin-
ted out that it would be wrong to take Gregoriall yea r of
365 and 366 days for DaJa calculations a nd that the
correct thing would be to take 360 days for the yea r, on
t he ground that all divisions are based on 30 days to a
month.
This raises a fundamental question. What is a year?
The Calendar Reform Committee spend quite some .tlme
ovcr this question and Ihe Report contains copious refe
renCes to practices followed in India. Egypt and other
countries.
A perusal of the report shows tbat our ancients were
certain of the Equinoxes, and were able to observe more
accurately the New Moon and the Full Moon . They
had at first followed a 360 days year, and this was later
corrected. They also followed a solar yea r of six seasons,
with two months, one of 30 days and another 31, thus
[ 48 J
making the solar year of 365 d:t ys, whi le the lunar re-
mained at 354 days. A number of explanati ons have
been given how those 12 days have been accounted for;
and p<lrti cular attention is to be given to advIce given
for begi nning of sacrifices during the Vedic period .
Fi na lly, our ancients solved tbe problem by introducing
intercalary months. Even today the Luni-Sol ar adjust-
ments are being made in Hindu Pancilangas by Mala or
(Adhika) Masa. Actually PUru Sharddhap (annual death
ceremonies) are performed twice in a yea r where the
Pitrljdina fall s in Mala Mas{l. This goes to show that
adjustments were made by whi ch the yea r wa'l linked
back to the Sun.
To strengl hen this, I venture to say that Varshapha!a,
which depends on the return of the Sun to the same poi nt
as at birth, clearly defines what is a Varsha or the yea r.
Actually, during the Vedic periods, a five yea r Yuga
period Wa S being followed in which there were 69 solar
months and 62 lunar-months. whole period repre-
sents Pal/cha Varsha. So, the year even then was ce rtainly
not merel y 360 days but mo re.
The Gregorian calendar is the nearest approach to
locate the Sun back in the original poi nt. Rash/riya Pan-
changa as introduced by the Government of India on the
recommendation of the C:J.lendar Reform Committee
follows this.
This however requires a further rese<l rch. We, in as-
trology. are interested in the accuracy of the year period.
as predictions have to bel based on sub-divisions of a
Dasa which is defined in If rm, of yea rs.
IV. As said earlier, Western Astrologers are not Jacking
behind in taking the interest in Hindu Astrology, of course
Vimsott(Jri Dasa as part of it, and one such article on
Vimsottar/ Dasa was published in American
[ 49 1
May 1975 by Kenneth Irving.
While illustrating and discussing few horoscopes based
on Vimsottari Dasa, the author has taken 360 days a
year as Time Factor for a 'Year.'
2. Garth Allen; in his "Perspectil'es ill Sidereal"
published in Astrology, February 1975, page
46 under DASA SYSTEM observes:
"My deep interest took hold, however. when I under-
took to subject the Vimsotlari Daso System to a rigid
statistical test using Fagan's Spica-based ayal/amsa and
the 360day year as basic values. The event of death W;4S
the subject chosen for study, a nd to my mixed conslerna
tion and amazement it turned out that almost three
as many people pass away during m::alefic-ruled sub periods
than probability would predict , with the Saturn sub-
period outstanding in this respect.
Strange, is it not, that my conversion to Hindu astro-
logy should have been wrought by the very reasons my
Eastern critic picked up as the basis of his reservations?
I accepted the Dasa system as valid because it holds up
under test condi tions when the Hypsomatic ayanamsa is
employed. I had rejected the system yea rs earlier than
this, when other ayallamsas were applied, in fact. Ihad de-
cided that the ve ry theory of the Dasas was pretty much
superstitious hogwash. My earlier rejection and later
acceptance were both made on statistical grounds, for I
cannot embrace and champion a scheme which not
withstand such tests.
Astrologers, both Easterfl and Western, are too prone
to utter dictums, and mutter objections based upon
scattered individual case evidence, or what is actually
worse no matter how respectable it sounds; "experience."
The history of any science is as much a continuing story
of face-saving measures on the part of writers, teachers,
( lO )
lecturers and field-dominating personalities, as or conti
nuous betterment. It is only human to want to derend
one's own past teachings or present views when something
that demands their amendment looms into sight.
The readers will observe that different astrologers
have given different arguments in su?p;)rt of their views.
but no final rule is established. We have m:lde a thorough
research on this subject and our views are detailed in the
J[ Part or this book.

CHAPTER V
PERIOD OF SUN
Krittika, Uttaraphalgltni and Utlarashada are each
ruled by the major period of the Sun lasting for 6 years.
When the Sun is benefic to occupying exal-
ted or own sign in anglcs or trine house!, the native
is rocketted to fame and honOl l T by the grace of God
SiI'o. He is ever-basking in t he affect io n of his fat her
wi th a cha nce for rich inheritance. He wields power ana
authorit y either in Governm!nt or public lire. He acqui-
re!! ]<lnds ill hilly or forest regions. He has a desire for
tra vel especi:lll y towa rds the East for pleasure. pront or
pilgrimage. Jr he is a trader, his business will fl ouri sh
well both al home and abroad. He spends his weal th
freely for charity and shuns all that is mean and ignoble.
He is fond of occult sciences like Mal/tra Sast ras and
Ayurveda. His soul yearns intensely for the company of
pious souls.
If the Sun is combined with the Moon there is gain
of apparel and ornaments, followed by mi sunderstanding
with maternal relations. Sundays will prove lucky in
Surya dasa when it is good.

CHAPTER 15
INTERPRETATION OF DASA RESULTS
The entire world lives on hopes. Everybody is eager
to know what is in store for him, however well placed he
may be. Astrol ogy is a science that can tackl e or cover
any walk of life within the limitations imposed. Today.
Astrology occ upies it di gnified place due to selfless efforts
of stal warts.
If by roret: of circumstances, you will have to leave
your birth-place and have to face a series of calamities,
you will lONe hopes and then you will consult an
astrologer. He will tell you that you were undergoing a
bad period or Dasa and that you will have a brighter
period with the commencement of certain Dasa which will
bring you hope.
Rajayagas and fine combinations wi ll fail to work if
they are without strength and proper Vasa do not operate
in your life-time.
These t wo conditions are importam factors which . like
a fuel. keep your life vehicle or horoscope running.
The horoscope infuses hopes if, by God's grace,
a man after cont inuous suffering happens to undergo
a good Dasa. Does God all ow things to suit our
fancies? We are all beggars at the hands of God.
He gives unlimited wealth and snatches away everything
[163]
frmJl us in the form of good and bad times. which in
ASlrological termmology are cal led Dasa.\".
The Das(l of a planet identical in all is some-
times seen producing quite opposite results in different
charts. While a nali ve enjoys a happy. content ed.
prosperous and luxurious life during the peri od of Moon.
another is confronted q :i lh all difficults, losses and painful
experiences during the'!.ame period of the Moon. When
one goes deep into the in an effort to find oul the
reasons for this difference in the res ults of the same Dasa.
one comes to underst and that planets in their different
states produce different effe':ts.
In our long st udi es and research spread over the
period of 25 years. we ca me upon a correct way of finding
the correl at ive effects of the Dasa! Blruktff Am"ara of
Vimsotlllri Da.M in Hindu Ast rology.
MallfeSIl'{lra III his famous work- Phaladeepika,
Chapter XX, Verse 29 guides: " Whichever Bham (house)
counted from the DaSQllolllO (major lord) is .. "Qc.cupied by
the Blwk linallia (sub-period-lord). it is only the effects
arising from that BIIlIJ'a (house) that wi ll come t o pass in
that BIII/kli (sub- period), When Bhuktinatha occupies the
6th , 8th or 12th house re(: koned from the Dasallalha 'the
effect will be unhappy. In other house'> it wi ll be good."
The statement "lI'hicherer Bhar3 counted from
Dasanatllll" implies the meaning that the place occupied
by the Dnsal/atha (lord of the major period) should be
taken as Lagna (ascendant), just as one would take the
Birth-/agna of a nati ve, If it is not taken so, one cannot
reckon the other Bhal'as such as the 2nd, 4th and so on
[164]
from the Dasallafha. So that we can come to the
conclusion that the author of Phaladeepika expects that
the sign occupied by the Dasanal"a in question should be
taken j ust li ke the Birth-ascendant for all practical
purposes and predictions.
When such occupied sign bccomcs the LogJ/o,
automatically one has to ascertain the relution of the
Dasallatha t o thut part icular sign. So the Birth-lagllo and
the relation of the Dosollolha to the birth-!aglla go t o the
background and the Dosal/mha-loglIll comes up. The
birth-lagno is like a bud and ,he DlIsol/arho!agllo is the
bloom which gradually gives out all the inherent qualities
of a fl ower or the fruit of its Karma. If we take the
Dosollarha-/ogna as on par wi t h birth-Iagnu, it goe) wit h-
out saying that all other Bllfll"tl.f (houses) and Bhavanafhas
(house-lords) should he referred accordingly.
So when we consider one Bllllkrillulha (lord of the sub-
period) we have to take into account which Bhal'a or
Bhams, the Bhllktillatlws preside over from the Dosanmha-
laglla. Is he the lord of a dust/lOlla (evil houses) or a
benefic sllIallu (good-house)? Whither is he posited from
the Dasanatha-/agna? In whut ways he is related to the
said liJgl/a and 5th and 9th houses '! Is he an enemy or
friend of the Dasal/atha (ascendant lord) in question?
What is his strength ?
Acting along this line, a wise ast rologer can find a
clear cut path that will safely lead to accurate predictions.
Coming to the Sloka again. the author has advised us
to count the place by Dasanafha 3.S lagl/a (ascendant) to
predict clirrent events with reference to the dasa-Iord.
[165]
from this it goes without saying that the sign occupied
by Bhukti-Iord shall be considered as Lagna (ascendant)
for finding out the effects pertaining to the Bhuktilord
(sub-lord) in his Anthara (sub-sub-period).
This interpretation of the sloka has wonderfully
proved correct. We are strongly convinced of its
importance.
For example, if one is having Jupiter's period and
Jupiter is placed in Capricorn, he becomes the lord of the
12th and the 3rd houses-both malefic. So he assumes
the role of a pure malefic for this Dasa, though he may
be the lord of Lagna (Sagittarius rising) in his bi rth-chart.
Saturn becomes the lord of lhe Lagnu and the 2nd
bouse (possession). Mars becomes the lord of the 4th
and the 11th. Mercury bIXomes the lord of 6th and 9th.
Venus becomes the lord of 5th and 10th. Sun becomes
the lord of the 8th and the Moon of the 7th house. So
much so, the portfolios of all the planets have drastically
changed for Jupiter's period when compared with the
birth-ascendant.
Nakshalras occupied by the planets also come into
play. They should be taken into account for correct
prediction.
Summing up, we get the followi ng broad principles:
I. The place occupied by the lord of the Dasa should
be taken as Birthlugna for that period.
2. His Nakshatra position, his strength and weakness
should be taken into account.
[1 66)
3. His relation to the place wherein he is posited
should he assessed.
4. The lords of sub-periods produce results
characteristic of the Bllavas, reckoned from the lord of the
period, in which they are posited. For example, during
the sub-period of a planet occupying the 2nd Mal'a
(house) from the lord of the period (Dasanatha); increase
in wealth is indicated.
5. Lastly one should bear in mind that all the Mal'as
and lords of bhal'as would be rendered ineffective (such as
lords of the 6th. 8th and 12th or Rahu or Saturn, the Sun
and Mars) were to be found in the 4th , 7th. 10th, 6th,
12th and 2nd houses from the 8"al'(1s or 8hal'a lords
under consideration. Among them, the 10th position is
most harmful.
All the current results pertaining to all the Blwvas can
be clearly told by applying this proper and correct
method. The Vimsot(arj Dasa System is the most scientific
and practical method for forecasting events as experience
have shown all these years. If one fails in his predictions,
it !nay be due to wrong interpretations and not to the
inherent shortcomings of the system. Our own feeling is
that \he Hindu System of Astrology and Vjmsotlari
~ y s l e m of timing events do not require any certificate for
their veracity and workability.
ASHTAKVARGA AND VIMSOTTARI
Some of the learned astrologers have done their
research and experience in different terms than propounded
by us. For the ready reference, we are reproducing the
[167]
~ a m e here to enabie the readers to put them on test and
lind out their validity. We have given our views on the
subj ect in Partll wherein we have illustrated the practi cal
horoscopes.
Complete the Ashtakvarga cha rt of the planet when
Dasa results are to be known. Al so divide the Vasa years
of the planet into twelve equal parts. If the Dasa be that
of the Sun. then we wi ll get the twelfth part as 6 months.
or we may say that we will get the same number of
months equal to number of dasu-years of the planet. Now
these twelve parts are t o be equally distributed among the
twelve rasis beginning from the ras; where the doso planet
is situa.ttd. The result of the Ilrst position will be
according to the number of bindus contained in the rasi
where the pl anet is situated in the horoscope. The second
portion wi ll be according to the number of billdus
contained in the second rasi as counted from the planet,
and so on for the other porti ons.
If there be more than four bh,dus in one rasi, then
that portion of the dasa period will give good results. If
there be less than four bind us in one rasi then that
porti on of the dasa will give bad results. If there be only
four hilldus in one rasi then that portion of the Dasa will
give mixed results.
The above facts are as given in Praslla Marga. But we
have found thai if we apply the following fact s also
then the results obtained are beUer. Along with the
above facts, we should also look into the nature of the
r asi so far as the planet is concerned. That is, we should
see whether the rasi is a friendly one or Uccha (Exaltation)
or Nucha (Debilitation) or inimical rasi for the planet.
[168J
]f we combine these facts also intelligently then the results
obtained are sometimes more than Even if
there be more tban four hindus in a Rasi, if that ras;
happens to be the Nucha rasi of the planet, then the
results are not found to be good. Even if there be less
than 4 bindus in a rasi happens to be exaltation rasi of
the planet concerned then the results are not so bad.
TRANSITS AND VIMSOTTARI
Assume that the Dasa lord is progressing t hrough the
twelve signs and divide the total number of years among
twelve signs uniforml y. The first part of the Dasa will
give results of the blJa.o in which that lord is from Lagna,
according t o the ownership, strength, aspect etc. The
next period of 1/ 12 will have to be judged from Laglla as
if the dasa-Iord is in 2nd from his natal position, and
so on.
To elucidate, suppose it is Cancer Lagl/a and the Sun's
Dasa with the Sun in Aries. As the Sun is the lord of
tbe 2nd posited in the 10th with digba/a in its exaltation
sign, the first six months of the Sun's dasa should be
deemed to be good, with special emphasis on professional
gains. f or the next six months, the dasa lord be
assumed to be progressi ng through Taurus. This sign
being badhkasthana for Cancer and the Sun being the lord
of the 2nd, financial upsets, difference of opinion with tbe
elders, or brothers, reshutrle in tho family affairs, etc.,
should be indicated. Similarly for progressions of the
dastJ lord tbrough other signs. In the same manner the
bhukti lord also should be progressed.
The common rules, such as the progres5ed dtJsa lord or
bhuk,i lord crossing his debilitation point or transiting his.
[169]
enemy's house, etc. are also to be duly considered.
During such progressions when the dasa lord and bhukti
lord occupy 6/8 or 2/ 12, that particular patch becomes
bad. If and when the bhukti lord crosses the dasa lord
or a yoga planet, that particular period will be most
effective (good or bad as the case may be) .
Again the relationship between the present transit of
the dasa lord in a certain house and the apparent position
occupied by the Dasalord during progressions will also
have to be
Timing of Events can be done more accurately if the
1/12 part of a Dasa or Bhukti is further into
nine and the transits considered asterisms in a
sign, the respective relationship of the dasa lord to the
lord of the asterism as also their relationship to the
ascendant lord taken into account.
Cyril Fagan, a great western Astrologer, following
sidereal school, expressed his own doubts about the
validity and authenticity of Vimsottari Dasll (The
Astrological MagaZine, page 285, March 1955), where be
observed :
"Again; surely the correct timing of Mahadasa,
Anlardasa, and Vidasa of the popular Vimsollari system
of predicting by planetary periods is wholly dependent on
the validity of Ayollamsa? If the latter is in error by one
or more degrees. will not the Moon's longitude, and
hence its precise position in the Janma Nakshatra be
adversely affected, thus substantially falsifying the
accurate dating of periods, sub-periods and inter-periods?
How can any legitimate claims be made for Vimsottari
[170]
System as a reliable instrument, when we find Indian
Astrologers using Ayanamsa from 19" to 24 1"
To this objection of Cyril Fagan. we have elaborately
dealt in the 11 PART of this book, where we have proved
the validity of Vimsottari Dasa on statistics.
Any valuable suggestions to make further improve-
ments in the text are cordially invited from the learned
scholars.
[I71]
PART II
PRACTICAL METHOD
PRACTICAL METHOD
In the first part of this book, we have mostly produced
several of the valuable writings from the different sources
(mostly Astrological Magazine, Bangalore) of the lear'ned
authors, scholars and astrologers. but the complex
problems of Vimsottari Dasa System still remain
-unsoIved.
Lately interest in Hindu Dasa System (Vimsottari
Directions) developed in West also. Great scholars and
astrologers like Cyril Fagan and Garth Allen have
worked and came out with their own observations also.
Garth Allen observed-"my deep interest took hold,
however, when I undertook the subject-the Vimsottari
Dasa System to a rigid statistical test using Fagan's Spica-
bru;ed Ayanamsa and the 360 days year as basic values.
The event of death was the subject chosen for study, and
to my mixed consentration and amazement it turned out
that almost three times as many people pass away during
malefic-ruled sub-periods than pfC\bability would predict,
with the Saturn outstllnding in this respect.
"Strange, is it not, that my conversion to Hindu
astrology should have been wrought by the very reasons
my Eastern critic picked as the basis of his reservations?
I accepted the Dasa System as valid because it holds up
under tcst conditions when the Hypsomatic Ayanamsa is
employed. I had rejected the system years earlier .han
this, when other Ayanamsas were applied: in fact, I had
[175]
decided that the very theory of Ihe Dasas was pretty much
superstitious hogwash. My earlier rejection and later
acceptance were both made on statisti cal grounds, for I
cannot embrace and champion a scheme which does not
withstand such tests.
"Astrologers, both Eastern and Western, are too prone
to utter dictums and mutter objections based upon
scattered indi vidual-case evidence. or what is actually
worse no matter, how respectable it sounds, " experjence".
The history of any science is as much a continuing story
of face saving measures on the part of writers, teachers.
lecturers, and field dominating personalities as of
continuous betterment. h is only human to want to
defend one's own past teachings or present views when
something that dema nds their amendment looms into
sight."-American Astrology, February 1975, pp. 46.
Garth Allen in hi s statement is very specific and
conclusive. He has left nothing to speculate. Kenneth
Irving has illustrated the horoscope of Richard Nixon,
expresident of U.S.A. in his art icle: " Modern Methods to
Poli sh an Ancient Concept," American Astrology ,
May 1975, pp. 26-35 based on tables and notes which
Garth Allen has prepared. The author at one p.lace
observed: "In short, this marvellous method of progression
seems a disaster-at least as mos t Hindu astrologers usc
it . One is leff with the feeling that once upon a time it
worked. but some w:lere along the line it got off the
track. It would be st range if such a thing had happened,
since tnere 'are already numerous examples of such
" derailment, " in centuries-old astrological practices having
been corrected through careful researen,"
[176]
Another American author James A. Eshelnan in his
article: "A Hindu Predictive System," American Astrology;
December 1975, pp. 37-39 concludes: " Whatever the
foundation; it is clear that we have here a system with an
internal structure that we cannot ignore-even ir the
Hindu Astrologers do not teally heli eve in
their own system by the frequency with which they alter
their prererred Ayanamsa at will, in each case producing
which anything they want to
say. Its potenti:ll value in rectification should he apparent
to anyone who works regularly with many and
predictive powers provide an excellent way to a
few palterns during the years."
The ohservations and conclusions or these Icarned
schobrs and h.we left with two
1. What th(' correct Ay:mamsa? Tn India mostl y
Lahiri's or Raman's Ayan:unsa is used. Following nre
the diofft:'rent ayanamsas (In January I,
a. Fagan' s
h. Lahiri" .. - 23'- D'-4fl-
c. Raman's-21 -4fi'.1J"
2. Whether, we a rc to take 360 (bys a year or
165 days a year.
3, Since the astrologers in the West do not interpr('t
the charts the way it is done in India and they have taken
the natural characteristics of the planets (malefic or
benefic), the third problem is already there. Whelher we
are to read the Dasa System from the birth-ascendant or
to treat the pJ:lce of DQ.ffI/lOIha (Ruler of the major
period) as lIscend.:mt.

Cases Nos. 3 and 7 are peculiar and interesting in the
sense that the LagllQ (ascendant) changes with the c h a n g ~
of Ayanamsa, and these two cases can decide to a greater
extent as to the validity of a particul ar Ayanamsa.
I. Case No. 3- With Fagan's or Lahiri's Ayanamsa,
the ascendant is Leo and with Raman's Ayanamsa, the
ascendant is Virgo. The author of the article does not
gi ve the cause of death, but the fact remains that the
native passed away at the young age of 12 years (short
age) .
(a) With Virgo ascendant (Raman's Ayanamsa),
Mercury is in 10th in Gemini, identical to his own sign
in conjunction with Sun and Mars; Jupiter and Moon arc
in the 7th house and Saturn is in the ascendant. Out of
9 planets, six (two natural benefics) are in angles.
[1 86]
(b) With Lalliri 's or Fagan's Ayanamsa, Ll!o aSCl!ll-
dan! ; except Rabu/Ketu, there is no planet in thl! angles.
Jupiter and Moon goes to the 81h houS!! and Venus to
the 12th.
We arc of the opinion that it is Leo ascendant which
indicates the short age and not Virgo.
2. Case No.7 - With Fagan's or Lahid' s Ayanamsa,
the ascendant is Sagittarius and with Raman' s
Ayanamsa, the ascendant is Capricorn. The nati ve died
in a plane crash at a young age of 27 years.
(a) With Capricorn ascendant, Saturn ruler of the
ascendant is exalted in the 10th (not retrograde) and this
position of Saturn by itself should be enough to protect
the natives's longevity though there are other afflictions,
such as Mars opPosition MerCLJfY involving 2nd and the
8tb houses.
(b) With Labiri's or Fagan's Ayanamsa, the ascendant
is Sagittarius (last degrees) and Jupiter, ruler of the
ascendant is in the 12th (1 05s) in Scorpio (qeath). Mars
(planet of accident) ruler of 12th and Scorpio is in the
3rd (travels and journeys), opposed by Mercury (planet
of communication) from the 9th (travels). The tragic
end of the native confirms more of a Sagittarius ascen
dant than Capricorn ascendant.
With these two glaring cases out of ten, we are of the
opinion that Lahiri's or Fagan's Ayanamsa gives better
and convincing results than Raman's Ayanamsa.
[187]
Now we are left with two choice- Fagan or
Lahiri. In t:ase No.8 Sun is in Libra if we are to use
fagan's Ayanamsa and SUIl remains in S,orpio if we use
Lahiri's Ayanamsa. Looking to tbe facts of the ..;ase, Sun
is more appropriate in Libra than in Scorpio.
In Case No. II , the editon, Fate & DI."Stiny, <xtaber,
76 has shown Mars (ruler ortbe "fth - marriage) oppositiun
Venus (significator of marriage) in 5th and 11th houses.
Looking to his married life, we will not accept this opposi-
tion. We arc in agreement with the editor when he says
that the planets are not in aspect if the signs occupied by
them are not in aspects. Here. when we take Fagan's
ayanamsa, Venus goes to Cancer while Mars stays in
Aquarius i.e. there is no opposition aspect in between
these two planets and this fit s in with his married life.
Further Hindu Astrology is based entirely on the t!teory
of the Moon Mansions (Nakshatras) and now with our
chart, Venus occupies Moon Mansion ruled by Mercury
and not by South Node as shown by the editor. This
has improved the basic strength or" the horoscope.
These changes in the natal chart with the change
of ayanamsa are very much important to our mind.
Similarly in case No. 7 Rahu goes to Cancer 'With
Fagan' s Ayanamsa and Rallu stays in Leo with Lahiri 's
ayana\llsa. To our mind these changcs of the plancts
in the signs are important. )n case No. 7, if we use
F<lSan's Ayanamsa, the ascendant is on Fatalistic D"grce
(29" Sagittarius), but if we use Lahiri's Ayanamsa, this
is not the case (JO Sagattarius).
In case No.8, the Lunar Mansion (llakshal ra) of Sun
does not change whether the Sun slays in Libra or
[1 88]
Scorpio, but in Case No.7, Rahu stays in Lunar
Mansion No.9, ruler Mercury with Fagan's Ayanamsa,
but Rahll occupies Lunar Mansion No. 10, ruler Ketu
(South node) with Lahiri's Ayanamsa, though there will
be n(l chang\! in the stellar position of Ketu.
Looking to the event of the native's life (died in plane
crash) we are of the opinion that Rahu should be in
Cancer (Lunar Mansion No.9), ruler Mercury nnd not in
Lunar Mansion No. 10, ruler- South Node- in Leo.
The ascendant should be Sagittaruis and not 30
n
Sagittarius.
This concludes that it is Fagan's Ayanamsa which
stands to the test and we would request the learned
readers to put it to the rigid test, before they come to
their own final opinion and conclusions.
Having solved the question of Ayanamsa, we are left
with two complex whether we arc to use
360 days a year or 365 days a ) car and (2) whether we
are to read the Dasa results from the hirth ascendant or
to treat the place of Dasal1a1ha as ascendant. We will
analyse all the II c:Jses to see which school of thought is
valid under test.
1. Case No. /-(a) It was lupitcr/ Rahu when the
gi rl committed suicide. With 365 days a year. Jupiter/
Rahu operates upto 21111970 and with 360 days a year
Jupiter/ Rahu operates up to 1181970. ]n this case, it
makes no difference whether we use 365 days or 360 .l,IYS
a year for Vimsottari Dasa System.
(b) From natal ascendant, Jupiter is the rul er of the
6th and the 9th, placed in tile 8th. From Dasallatha as
[189]
AScendant, Jupiter becomes the ruler of the 2nd and the
11th. We are of the opinion that it is from Dasanalha ~ s
ascendant that Jupitc:r becomes the Markesh (death
inflicting planet) and Rahu (Sub-lord), 2nd to Jupiter.
justifies the event in Jupiter/Rahu.
(c) Jupiter is placed in Lunar Mansion No. 23 which
behaves under the group influence of Mars and Saturn
and this Lunar Mansion No. 23 is accident prone (Maon
Mansions by Mohan Koparkar), Rahu is placed on Lunar
Mansion No, 25. ruler Jupiter and beht: ... es under the
group influence of Jupiter and Saturn, This is another
confirmation to the event occured in native's life.
2. Case No. 2- (a) It was Mercury/Saturn whicb
operates upto 12-10-1965 from 3-2 1963 with 365 days a
year when the girl died with the fire burns. It will make
no difference in this case whether we use 360 days a year
or 365 days a year.
(b) Mercury is the ruler of the 3rd and the 6th
houses from the birth ascendant and placed in the 3rd:
from Dasanatha as ascendant, Mercury is the ruler of the
1st and the 4th. In this case Mercury is malefic from
birth ascendant than from Dasanatha ascendant. However
this position is subject to modification by stellar
position of the planets. It will also be useful to add
that Dasa results get modified by Transits.
(c) Mercury is placed on Lunar Mansion No.6,
ruler Ral-u which is under the group influence of Rahu/
Mercury. From Mercury, Rahu is 3rd and from birth
ascendant. Rahu is 5th. 11 is Mercury on the nakshatra
of Rahu and Rahu 3rd from Mercury which is important
[190]
and modifies the influence of Mercury. Saturn is on
Lunar Mansion No.4, ruler Moon under the group
influence of Moon/Venus. Moon is the ruler of the
2nd house from Mercury and Venus is the ruler of the
12th house from Mercury. Saturn (sub-lord) is 12th to
Mercury. By taking nakshatra positions of the planets
into consideration, it becomes clear as to the type and
time of the event occurred in native's life, but some
element of doubt is still there in this case. Mohan
1<oparkar in his Mooll Mansions , did not qualify mansions
Nos 4 and 6 as accident prone.
3. Case No. 3-(a) It was Mercury/ Mercury which
operates from 23-11-1962 to 20-4-1965 with 365 days a
year and the native passed away on 31-12-1963. Here,
too, 360 days a year or 365 days a year will not make any
difference for the purpose of identifying the event through
Vimsottari Dasa System.
(b) From birth ascendant, Mercury is the ruler of
the 2nd and the 11th and is placed in the 11th. But from
Dasanatha ascendant Mercury is the ruler of the [st and
the 4th (similar to Case No.2). Here there is no modi-
fication due to sub-lord, as Mercury is the sub-lord also.
If we judge purely on c a ~ e ~ No.2 and No.3, it will be
the birth-ascendant which will be valid and not
f)asa/latha ascendant. However the stellar position of
the planets and the Transits are always impN{;lJIt.
(c) Mercury is placed on the star or Rahu (North
node) is in the 7th (natal) and Rahu is also placed on his
own star. Mercury will give the results of natal Rahu in
his period. Thus Mercury gets full markeslt (death
inflicting powers. The Lunar Mansions No.6 and 24
[Igl]
invol ved 3re not accident prone. Like co.se No.2, it is
not a crystal clear C:lse and some element of doubt is still
persists.
4. Case No. 4-(0.) It W:lS Rahu/ Mars when the
child .vas crushed nnd killed. In thi s cnse again, it will
not make any difference whether we use 360 days a year
or 365 days a yea r. Rahu/ Mars operates from 284-1952
t o 16-51953.
(b) Rahu is exalted in Gemini, ruler in Virgo, har-
mony in Libra, fallen in". Saginaruis, detriment in Pisces,
inharmony in Aries-Lunar Nodes by Bernice Prill
Grebner. Pisces as Dasallotho ascendant, Rnhu becomes
the ruler or 7th and hence becomes markesll. Mars is the
rul er of the 2nd and the 9th and placed in the 4th. In
natal chart , Rahu is in the 12th, Mars ruler of the 1st
and the 8th is in the 3rd. This is for judging the basic
characteristics of the natal chart .
We have said else where in our writ ings that we
.;-annot afford to overl ook Uranus. Neptune and Pluto. In
this horoscope Mars conjunction Uranus in the 3rd in
Gemini SQuared by Neptune rrom 6th is important which
is a clear pattern or accidental death and Rahu/Mars in
Vimsottari Dasa system are capable enough to give the
type of event. Dr. B.V. Raman has said in his Hindu
Predictive Astrology; ;' The Dasa results stand to be modi-
fi ed by the effect of Gocltara or transiting planets. These
cases are being dealt in our separate book "TRANSITS."
(c) Rahu is placed on the lIakshatra or Mercury
(ruler or the 4th and the 7th rrom Rahu), but the more
important is that Mars is placed on the star of Rahu in
[192]
the sign of Gemini . When we look to this case taking
nakshatras of the Oasa planets into consideration, the
whole picture becomes cryst al clear. However, this case
can be equall y justified by taking Lahiri' s or Raman's
Ayanamsa, but this was not true in the case No.3.
5. Case No. 5- (a) It was Salurn/ Rahu from
3-10-1952 t o 9-8- 1955 by 365 days a year when the native
died. Here again it mahs no differences whether-
we take 365 days a year or 360 days a year. This problem
still remains unsolved. but in this case Raman's Ayanamsa
or Lahiri's Aya namsa will not hold good.
(b) Saturn (Dasonotha as ascendant) become5 the
ruler of the 7th and the 8th and hence becomes markesh.
Rahu. rul er of the 3rd (fr om Saturn) is placed in the 6th
and SaturnfRahu clearly becomes the maTkes!! for the
native. Saturn / Rahu arc both natural malefics.
(c) Saturn is on Lunar Mansion No.9, ruler
Me rcury, (Mercury become5 t he rul er of the 12th and the
3rd from Saturn) and Rahu i ~ on Lunar Mansion
No. 19. ruler South node (Ketu). Vimsott ari Oasa
System (SaturnJRahu) justifi e! the event. Lunar
Mansions Nos. 9 and 19 participates in the generai cause
of accidents (Moon Mansions by Mohan Koparkar) and
we will not be surprised if the nati ve did not die a natural
death .
6. Case N ~ . 6- (a) It was Saturn/Venus from
24-6-1952 to 24-8-1955 when the native committed suicide.
In this book of ours we are not dealing with the merits of
the horoscopes. Such cases are being dealt by us
separately in our book - Astrology ill Accidents. In this
[ 193]
Cilse also, whether we take 36; days a year or 360 days a
year, it will not make any difference.
(b) Saturn is in Aquarius. So Aquarius is the
ascendant for Saturn' s period and Saturn becomes the
ruler of the 12th and the 1st. From Saturn, Venus
becomes the rul er of the 4th and the 9th. Here the
learned readers will be sur pri sed to see that such a
painful event took place in the per iods of the ruler of the
ascendant and the rul er of the 4th and the 9th. On the
facc value. it is hard to accept, specially when Venus is
also placed in t he ascendant (Aquari us). This is a
disputed case like cases No.2 and 3. The followi ng para
will make it clear.
(c) We have said earlier that the Lunar Mansions (lloka-
sho/ra.v) are very important and hold prominent position
in Predi cti ve Astrology. Astrologers, who overl ook t o this
branch of astrology are li kely to err in their fi ndings. In
t his case Saturn is pl aced on Lunar Mansion No. 23,
rul er Mars, and this makes the pi cture clear as Mars is
placed 3rd to Saturn. So Saturn in hi s Main Dasa will
give the results or Mars in the birth chart. It was on this
base that the success of Jimmy Carter was predicted in
U.S. Polls in October 19: 6 issue of F o t ~ &- DeJfiny, by the
Editor.
Venus is placed on Lunar Mansion No. 24, ruler
Rahu. (j oint ruler or the 8th house) who is 12th to Saturn
as well as t o Venus. Venus in her sub-period will give the
results of Rahu in natal chart. When we take Lunar
Mansions (nakshotras) into consideration. everything
becomes crystal clear . 11 will also be useful to mention
that Lunar Mansion No. 23 is accident prone and is
dangerous. However, this case can equally hold good
[1 '4]
with Raman's Ayanamsa as well as Lahid's ayanamsa,
but in both these cases, too, we will have to take
lIakshatra position into consideration.
7. Case No. 7-(a) This case is very important and
it was on this case that we concluded the validity of
Fagan's Ayanamsa. It is not only the ascendant which
changes between Lahiri's Ayanamsa and Raman's
Ayanamsa, ~ but it is the rising degree which changes
between Fagan's Ayanamsa and Lahiri's Ayanamsa, We
are not dealing with the degree influences of the planets
here which is not the subject of this book, but the readers
who are interested can refer to the Stars & Your Future, by
Manik Chand Jain. However, the change in the
balance of Dasa System at the time of birth is equally
important in this case.
It was belween 30'6-1949 to 12-1-1952 i.c. lllltit::r
Saturn/Jupiter that the native died in a plane crash. If
we take Lahiri's Ayanamsa or Raman's Ayanamsa,
Mercury Dasa will operate and the event will not be
justified fully. Before we judge the Vimsottari Dasa
(Timing of the Events), we are to sec if the pattern of the
natal horsocope justifies that type of event or not. This
we have already discussed in earlier pages. Like previous
cases, even tbis case will not make any difference whether
we take 360 days a year or 365 days a year.
(b) Satu.rn is in Libra and so Libra will be the ascen-
dant for Saturn's period. Saturn is Yoga-Karka for Libra
ascendant and it is hard to believe that this sort of tragic
event can take place in one's life in Saturn's period, but it
should not surprise the readers because we have already
been confronted with similar positions in Cases No.2, 3,
[195J
and 6. If wc believe in Dasanatha ascendant it makes 110
differeuce whether we take Capricorn as natal ascendant
(Raman's Ayanamsa) or Sagiltarius as natal ascendant
(Fagan's/Lahir's Ayanamsa) because in both the cases,
Saturn's posit ion does not change in his own period, but
the readers will agree that it is the basic pattern of the
horoscope which is important. Only those events will
occur in Oasa periods which are available in natal charts.
This is why transits are always to be considered from the
natal ascendant. We will see in the following para if
Lunar Mansions make any modification in the position
of Saturn's period.
Sub-period of Jupiter. Jupiter is the ruler of the Jrd
and the 6th and placed in the 2nd from Saturn and thus
attains t he death inflicting powers. Jupiter's rulership of
3rd house identical to Sagittarius in 2nd house in Scorpi o
(natural 8th house-sign of death) further confirms the
type of event is likely to take place in this subperiod.
Sub-period of Jupit er combined with the main period of
Saturn makes the picture clear.
(e) Here Saturn is placed on the Lunar Mansion
No. 14, ruler Mars. This mansion behaves under the
group influence of Mars, Mercury and Venus and this Is
important. Saturn in his main Oasa will give mostly the
results of Mars, ruler of 2nd and 7th, thus becomes the
Markesh and placed retrograde 5th to Saturn, but in the
natal third house- sign Aquarius (Airy Sign), ruler
Saturn. Saturn is on the star of Mars and Mars is in
the sign of Saturn. Both are Airy Signs. Combined with
the basic pattern of the horoscope (Sagittarius rising-29
Fatalistic degree) clears all the dC'ubts about the ruling
Dasa or Saturn.
[196J
Jupiter is placed on Lunar Mansion No. 11, ruler
Saturn (Jupiter will gi ve the results of natal Saturn in his
period) and this Mansion under tile influence of
Saturn and Mars, i. e. Jupiter is completely under the
sway of Saturn and Mars, the t wo nat ural malefic pl anets
responsible for thi s tragic event about which we have
dealt earlier in the above We, once again
repeat that it be the basic pattern of the natal chart
which tells the story of life and Dasa periods only make
them t o operate at appropriate times. Had the nat ive
was bo," with Capricorn ascendant (natal), he was not
destined to meet this fatal end.
8. Case No. 8-(a) It was Rahu/Ketu from 2751956
to 1561951 when the native died of electorcution. Even
in this case it will not make any difference whether we use
365 days a year or 360 days a year. So far this quest ion
still remai ns unsolved.
(b) Rahu/ Ketu ar c always in exact oppoistion and
Rahu and Ketu in t he 8th and the 2nd arc enough
indicatious for this type of an event specially when there
are clear indications in the natal chart. If it is Lahiri's or
Raman's Ayanamsa. then Rahu/ Venus will operate which
does not fit in the picture. Further Sun will go to sign
Scorpio and not in Libra. as in the case when we use
Fagan's Ayanamsa and this is important, because Sun is
the ruler of the ascendant.
We are of the opinion that the pl anets are not in
aspect if the signs occupied by them arc not in aspect. A
planet at 29
0
Cancer is not in aspect t o another planet at
1
0
Scorpio, because the signs aTe not in aspect though the
orb is onl y of 2 degrees for an square aspect. But a
[197]
planet at 1 Cancer is very much in aspect with another
planet at 29" Libra though the orb is 28 degrees for an
square aspe(.1.. This is our opinion :md learned readers
are requested to put these views of ours to rigid t est to
come t o their own conclusions. In this case debilitated
Mars aspects debilitated SUIl, ruler of the with
Fagan's Ayanamsa, which is not the case wilh Lahiri's or
Raman's Ayanamsa. This is another important case,
where the validit y of Fagan's Ayanamsa is held. We may
be wrong, and let the learned readers put such cases to
ri gid tests.
In some of our writings, we have applied WEST typc
of aspects i.e. squares, t rines, sextiles etc. for all the planets
and the readers will like to argue that with our thought of
approach . Sun in Scorpio with Raman's or Lahiri's
Ayanamsa will be in trine aspects to Mars. Why not take
this into cons ideration. Very true, west type of aspects
do work and are taken into consideration genelally but
they cannot supercede Hindu (Indian) Astrological
aspects. In Hindu Astrology, Mars is the only planet
which has 4th aspect (square). FU11her, when we know the
event in one's life. it must be justified by the natal
to establi sh the validity of natal astrology.
Such was the position in Case No. 2 also. Sun was
in Cancer with Raman's ayanamsa, but he will shift 0
Gemini iI we use Lahirj' s or Fagan's Ayanamsa. Here
again Sun had to be in Gemini to justify the tragic event
of natives's life. We are not discussing the merits or
demerits here which is not the subject of this hook:.
(c) Rahu is on Lunar Mansion No. 27,
Mercury and this Mansion will behaves under the
[198]
ruler
group
influence or Me rcury/Jupiter. Mercury and Jupiter are
6th to 8th to each other and Rahu wi ll give the results
or Mercury in his Dasa who is malell c ror Leo ascendant.
Mercury is placed in Scorpio (8th sign-natural sign of
death) when R:l h. u i<; placed in t he 8th house (death).
Ketu is placed on LUllar Mansion No. 14, ruler Mars
and this Mansion behaves under the group influence of
Mars, Mercury and Vcnus. The leatned readers will
observe that Rahu/Ketu are powerful enough to cut s. hort
the s. pan of nati ve' s li fe.
9. Case No. 9-(a) The nati ve committed suicide on
174- 1955 i.e. Mercury/ Mercury which will operate rrom
12-71954109 12 1956. Our problem of 360 days a year
or 365 days a yea r does not get solved even in this c a ~ e .
(b). This is a clear cas e on the basis of which we can
I::oncludc whether Vimsottari D3sa system is to be read
from natal ascendant or Dasanatha ascendant. From natal
ascendant, Mercury becomes the rul er of the 6th and the
9t h, but rrom Daswratha ascendant (Pisces) Mercury
becomes the ruler or the 4th a nd the 7th houses. As
ruler of the 4th and the 7th being in debilitation, Mercury
becomes the malefi c and Markesh for Pisces ascendant anC:
can cause the given event in nati ve' s life. There is no
change whether we use Fagan's ayanamsa or Lahiri's
ayanamsa, but Raman' s ayanamsa wi ll bring Mercury!
Venus in operati on which is equally valid.
(c) Mercury is placed on the Lunar Mansion No. 26,
ruler Saturn and this Mansion behaves under the group
influence or Saturn and Jupiter. From Mercury, Saturn
is the ruler of J Ith and 12th and is placed in the 11th
aspecting. Mercury (3rd aspect). This configuration of
[1991
Mercury makes him capable causing the given event in
native's life, when we look to the basic pattern of the
natal chart .
10. Case No. /O- (a) The nati ve committed suicide
on 1-61955 i.e. in Jupiter/Saturn period from 23 31955
to 2961957. Here again there is no change whether we
u ~ 360 days a year or 365 days a year.
(b) This is another case where Vimsottari Dasa
system is valid from DOJOllalha ascendant and not rrom
natal ascendant. Jupiter is in Capricorn, hence Capricorn
will be the ascendant ror Jupiter's period and Jupiter is
the biggest malefic fOf Capricorn Ascendant. Saturn is a
natural malefic, ruler of the 1st and 2nd, placed in the
11 th rorm Jupiter in Scorpio (8th house of death in
natural zodiac).
(c) Jupiter is placed on Lunar Mansion No. 21. ruler
Sun, which behaves under the group influence of Sun.
Jupiter and Saturn. From Jupiter, Sun is the ruler of the
8th house and Jupiter will give the results of Sun in his
period. Sun is in exact conjunction with Jupiter, thus
Jupiter's period becomes markesh. Saturn is placed on
Lunar Mansion No. 17, ruler Saturn , which behaves under
the group influence or Saturn and Mars. Saturn is a com-
mon raeter between the group influence or Jupiter; and
Saturn and Mars arc 6th and 8th to each other. Taking all
the factors into consideration. it b e c o m ~ amply clear that
the native could die under Jupi ter/Saturn looking to the
basic pattern of the' natal chart.
II. Case No. JJ (a) Mr. Jimmy Carter got marri ed on
7-7-1946 i.e. Satuml Ketu from 541946 to 14-51947
(200]
with 365 days a year, With 360 days a year, it will be
from 1 5 ~ 1 2 - 1 9 4 5 to 24- 1-1947, So it makes no difference
whether we use 360 a days a year or 365 days a year.
Saturn is placed in natal ascendar.t, so there will be no
change whether we consider it from natal ascendant or
Dasunalha ascendant. Saturn is in Libra (sign of
marriage), Saturn is aspecting 7th (house of marriage), so
Saturn is capable of giving marriage in its period,
Ketu is 4th t o Saturn and Ketu is in Capricorn --sign
rul ed by Saturn. So Ketu wi ll give the results of Saturn
and the 4th house in natal chart , Thc most important part
is Ihallhe Moon Mansion of Ketu is ruled by Mars, ruler
of the 7t h house (marriage) and aspecting Venus (signifi-
cator of marriage). In its sub-period , Ketu wi ll give the
results of natal Mars, hence marriage.
(b) Mr. Ji mmv Carter became Governor on 12- 1-1971
i.e. Mercury/Jupiter from 8-8-197 1 to 14-1 H 973 with
365 days a year and from 71 2-1970 to 13-31973 with
360 days a year. Here again it makes no difference
whether we use 360 days a year or 365 days a year.
Mercury is pl aced inLeo, so Leo will be the ascendant
for Mercury's period. (Fate d L'est;ny-October 1976,
pp8) . Mercury is malefic for Leo ascendant. There is
another school of Hindu Astrology, where the Dasa
System is to be considered from t he natal ascendant and
in that case Mercury will become the ruler of the 9th and
12th-Good. In Hindu Astrology. Moon Mansions are
very much important . Here Mercury occupies Moon
Mansion ruled by Sun, ruler of the DOS(Jnatha ascendant
and as such Mercury will give the results of the ascendant
[201J
(Sun) in ils period and this will indicate his elevation to
Ihe Governorship. If we lake the Sua's position from the
natal ascendant, Sun is the ruler of the 1\ th house a nd is
equall y valid to provide political power in Mercury's
main JXri od. The readers are requested t o put this school
on test and let us have their findings for our future
guidance, We have our doubt s. Perhaps our future
research wi!! make this point very clear,
Jupiter is the ruler of the 5th a.nd the 8th and placed
4th from Mercury. Both the positions (ownership and
locadon) are favourable. Jupiter is placed on the Moon
Mansion ruled by Mercury and Jupiter in his subperiod
will give the results of natal Mercury. ruler of the 9th and
the 12th. This sub- peri od confirms his elevation provided
we give due import ance to Moon Mansions as claimed by
the of Hindu Astrology.
(c) Elected President on 211-1976 i.e. Ketu/ Ketu from
23-7-1976; to 2D-12-1976 with 365. days a year, but with
360 days a year, it will be Ketu/ Venus from 20- 101975 to
20-12-1976. This particul ar illust ration is very interesting
and establishes the clai m of Garth Allen-II is Fagan's
Ayanamsa with 360 days a year which will work. Manik
Chand l ain in his editorial-Fate &: Destiny-October
1976. pp. S has that it was Ketu/Venus who will give
him the succel'S in the elections.
There is another Improvement in our case. i.e. Venus
is not in the 8th from Ketu but is in the 7th now and
Venus is placed on the Moon Mansion ruled by Mercury
and not by Ketu. Hence Venus in his sub-period wi ll give
the results of natal Mercury-rul er of the 9th and
tbe 12th.
[202]
Our observations are:
I. Hindu Dasa System is very much scientific and
reli able.
2. If we use Lahirj's ayanamsa. the Venus is in Leo and
if we use Fagan' s ayanamsa, the Venus is in Cancer. When
we look to his married life, it is Fagan's ayanamsa (Venus
in Cancer) which is valid and not Lahiri's
3, If we use 365 days a year, it will be Ketu/ Ketu on
21 H976 when he was elected President of U.S.A. and if
we use 360 days a year, it will be Ketu/Venus on 2-11-1976.
For giving him the success at Polls, it should be Ketu/
Venus and not Ketu/ Ketu.
4. The Moon Mansions are very much important for
the correct delineations of the Dasa Syste m.
Thus we will conclude that it is Fagan' s Ayanamsa
wit h 360 days a year which stood to the test.
Conclusions- I. We have not dealt with the merits and
demerits of the natal charts which is not the subject of
this book. For the informati on of our readers. we would
like to add that we are of the opinion that Ast rology is
incomplete without corporating Uranus, Neptune and Pluto
We will demonstrate fully our views in our forth coming
publications.
2. In this 2nd part of this book. we had three
questions before us. First was, which of the three
Ayanamsas (Fagan, Lahiri and Raman) is valid and gives
better results. With our ellperience and from the II cases
illustrated here, we came to the c'bnclusion tbat Fagan's
Ayanamsa gives better results.
3. The second questi on was whether it is 360 days a
year or 365 days a year in Vimsottari Dalia 9ystem which
(203)
gives the correct results. From the 10 cases
demonstrated here, it is observed that it make\> no
diffe rence v.hether we usc 360 days a year or 365 days a
yeu r upto sub-periods. But t he case No I I has made it
clear that it is 360 days a year which is vulid and not 365
duys a year.
4. T h ~ third question was whether we are to read the
Dasa System fr om natal ascendant or DaSlmathll
ascendant. It has been made quite clear from the
illustration of II charts t 9at it is only the Dosanatha
ascendant which is tp be considered and not the natal
ascendant though in some cases natal ascendant works
better. Our research and experience with hundreds of the
cases in our office records has made this point amply clear
beyond any iota of doubt.
5. The majority of people have misconception about
the actual workines of astrology. They seldom kno'w the
difference between the planets and the Stars (nakshamu).
The transits of planets in t he chart are nothing but t he
relati ve moti on of planets with reference to the stars or the
mot ion of the planets through the signs. Thus the stellar
positions (LUnar Mansions occupied by each planet) is
most important. Without taking the Lunar Mansions
into consideration of each natal planet. the astrologer is
likel y to fall in an error.
Some of the learned and experienced astrologers will
exclusively depend on Vimsottari Dasa System for t hei r
findings. We do riot possess that much knowledge and
with all respects to them, we will not agree on this point.
To our mind TRANSlTS are very much import ant and
without taking them into considerati ons, the findings and
[204]
observations may rail completely. So Transits are a must
in each case. for general inrormation ..... e would' like to
add-
I. The transit of Uranus in natal chart is most
impo) :ant without which dependable results cannot be
obtained though there is no provision or this planet in
Hindu Traditional Astrology. It was this transit or Uranus
on natal Saturn in ascendant or Jimmy Carter which
brought success to him in 1976 year Presidential Polls
2. \\'ith our experience, we have also come [0 the
conclusion that the transits are to be considered from
natal ascendant and not rorm natal Moon or natal Sun.
We would welcome valuable suggestions rrom learned
naders, so that we can improve upon in our ruture
editions,
