Planetary Transit for untimely death

I am providing the Transit which creates fear of untimely death as said by late scholar and my teacher Sri C S Patel.

1. Transit of Saturn through Navamsha ruled by the 8th Lord.
2. Transit of Rahu through Deha or Jeeva Rasi.
3. Jupiter's transit through Krura (malefic) sign.
4. Sun's transit through Krura (Malefic) sign.

Krura signs : The sign occupied by the lord of the 8th house (8L) and its trines and signs aspected by 8L and the signs identical with the Navamsha occupied by 8L and trines thereof, are said to be Krura signs. 
For example if Mars is 8L in Karka rasi and Dhanu navamsha, than Krura signs are Karka, Vrishika, Meena (trines in D1), Tula, Makar, Kumbha (aspected by Mars), Dhanu, Simha, Mesha (trines in D9).

Graha Yuddha or planetary war discussion

Namaste, Please remember that the following topic is for very advanced readers and is advised to read only after having a thorough knowledge of basics of Astronomy and Astrology I would like to invite an open discussion on Graha Yuddha (GY) i.e., planetary war which I feel a must for all those dedicated seekers of jyotish Before I demonstrate this (one of the main features of shadbala calculation), I would like to reiterate (through various sources) the underlying principles required to assess or evaluate GY under three categories 1)Siddhanta 2)Hora 3)Samhita Siddhanta From Surya Siddhanta, chapter 7 Grahayutyadhikara, stanzas 1,2, 13, 14, 19 to 24, it is state that Stanza 1: Of the star-planets(tara grahas) there take place, with one another, encounter(yuddha) and conjunction (samagama); with the moon, conjunction (samagama); with the sun. helical setting(astamana) Stanza 2: When the longitude of the swift-moving planet is greater than that of the slow one, the conjunction (samyoga) is past (i.e., over); otherwise, it is to come; this is the case when the two are moving eastward (or in same direction); if, however, they are retrograding (vakrin), the contrary is true Stanza 13: The diameters upon the moon's orbit of Mars, Saturn, Mercury, and Jupiter, are declared to be 30, increased successively by half the half; that of Venus is 60 Stanza 14:These, divided by the sum of radius and the fourth hypothenuse, multiplied by two, and again multiplied by radius, are the respective corrected (sphuta) diameters: divided by fifteen, they are the measures (mana) in minutes Stanza 19:An encounter (yuddha) is called "ray-obliteration" (ansuvimarda) when there is mutual mingling of rays: when the interval is less than a degree, the encounter is named "dexter" (apasavya) - if, in this case, one be faint (anu) Stanza 20: If the interval be more than a degree, it is "conjunction" (samagama), if both are endued with power (bala). One that is vanquished (jita) in a dexter encounter (apasavya yuddha), one that is covered, faint (anu), destitute of brilliancy, Stanza 21: One that is rough, colorless, struck down (vidhvasta), situated to the south, is utterly vanquished (vijita). One situated to the north, having brilliancy, large, is victor (jayin) - and even in the south if powerful (balin) Stanza 22: Even when closely approached, if both are brilliant, it is "conjunction" (samagama): if the two are very small, and struck down, it is "front" (koota) and "conflict" (vigraha), respectively. Stanza 23: Venus is generally victor, whether situated to the north or to the south, perform in like manner the calculation of the conjunction (samyoga) of the planets with the moon Stanza 24: Unto the good and evil fortune of men is this system set forth: the planets move on upon their own paths, approaching one another at a distance(a result or phala part of grahayuti is stated here) In addition to this we have in Siddhanta Ganakaandam, where it is clearly mentioned (agreeing to the views of Suryasiddhanta) that graha yuddha occurs between any two of Kujadi pancha grahas when they are within one degree(sufficient) and one sign(necessary) but not in adjancent signs. Likewise, the maximum possible planetary wars are 10 and 1 as minimum Hora In Chapter 3 (Bala-adhyaya) Stanza 17 of Sripati Jataka Karmapaddhati (commentary by Suryadeva yajwa of 1192 AD) it is stated that for any two yuddha grahas, add the total of shadbalas of the two planets obtained upto Ayana bala (not upto hora bala as said by Mr BV Raman in his graha and bhava bala) of Kalabala separately, take difference between their totals and divide it by the difference between their bimba-parimanas (dimension of their sizes). The result obtained is called Yuddha bala. Add this yuddha bala to the total obtained upto Ayana bala of jita (one who is north in latitude i.e., victor) and deduct from the total obtained upto ayana bala of vijita (one who is in south latitude to jita - defeated). The sizes of bimba parimanas are 2 and increased by half for the planets Kuja, Sani, Budha, Guru and Sukra respectively. That is Kuja's parimana is 2 and that of Sukra is 4 (not the values given by Mr BV Raman - which if applied will result in beyond the limit theoritically imposed by Sripati acharya- please see Suryasiddhanta by Rev. Burgess or sanskrit version of Chaukhamba press by Pt Madhav Prasad Purohit) Stanza 32 of 4th Khanda of "Uttara Kalamritam" of Kalidas (who is one among nine gems besides Varahamihira in the court of King Vikramaditya) says : Union (yuti, samyoga or yoga) of planets is only valid when the distance between any two grahas is =orrule of three(ROT)

i.e., more the proximity more the strength and vice versa.
In such yoga, the result will be (sufficient condition) fruitful or create raja yoga (depending upon strength by applying ROT) if one of the uniting planets rule either quandrant or trine houses and the other contrary to the former.
In such a background, we have three out of four possible states of raja yogas which are (this is outcome of philosophy of ROT)
1) If both are less in strength, a weak yoga will form
2) When only one is stronger, a medium yoga (in this case there will be two combinations) will occur
3) When two are stronger, a top grade yoga will occur
To know the cut-off(maximum strength that any planet can get theoritically) and critical value (a pre-requiste value that is required while analysing any yoga, longevity selection etc as per Varahamihira's school) one should be well versed in Sripati's method of shadbala and bhavabala calculations
However, I am giving hereby as per 5th Chapter (Ayurdayadhaya) of Sripati Jataka Karmapaddhati (commentary by Suryadeva yajwa of 1192 AD) the critical value of graha or bhava bala as 480 shatiamsas or 8 rupas

Samhita

In Brihat Samhita of Varahamihira, Chapter 18 Stanza 1 (Sasi graha Samagamadhyaya), it is stated that : When the moon moves, wherever possible, to the north of stars or planets i.e., keeps them to her right side, it is called her dextral movement and augurs well for kings (or mankind). If she moves to the south of them, she does not bring happiness to them.

I will discuss further clearly all the above concepts with the help of Adolf Hitler's horoscope which is the best example capable of illustrating all the three concepts i.e., yuti, yuddha and samagma but not infamous one (hope after my clarification it will be famous in the circle of dedicated astrologers atleast on subject poinf of view) in my tommorow's post

-----------------------------

Namaste
As I discussed in my earlier post the technical rules that are required for identifying Graha Yuddha(GY) I will summarise briefly again here some definitions or parameters which are required for our further discussion

Tara or Prakasika Grahas: Sun and Moon are called taragrahas
Aprakasika Grahas: Mars, Saturn, Mercury, Jupiter and Venus (in the increasing order of bimba parimanas) are called Kuja-adi pancha grahas or Aprakasika Grahas
Chaya Grahas: Nodes i.e., Rahu and Ketu are called Chaya or Shadowy Grahas

Combustion or astamana:
Whenever the six planets other than Sun come in proximity of Sun they get combusted. The degrees of proximity for them are given in Suryasiddhanta(SS) which I will give them for future reference

Moon: + or - 12
For exterior or superior planets
Mars: + or - 17
Jup: + or - 11
Sat: + or - 15
For internal or inferior planets
Merc: + or - 12 when retrograde and + or - 14 when direct
Ven: + or - 8 when retrograde and + or - 10 when direct

Samagama:
Whenever an aprakasika graha is overtaken by Moon by < or = 1 degree then there takes place a phenomena called Samagama. In such samagama, if the aprakasika graha is situated south to Moon it results in benefic or subha and malefic or asubha samagama when situated to North.

Conjunction, union or Yuti:
This topic is a must for all beginners and professionals too - as I have found many astrologers either ignorant or overlook this and venture predictions which will definitely fail
Whenever a swift moving planet i.e., seegra graha is moving towards a slow moving planet i.e., manda graha (this can happen either in direct or retrograde motion) and is within < or = to 12 degrees proximity of a manda graha, then there takes place conjunction or yoga of grahas. This is purely a astronomical part.
The following list (in the increasing order of swiftness) will give the details of swift moving planets:

Saturn
Jupiter
Mars
Sun
Venus
Mercury
Moon
Ascendant

From the above list it is evident that Saturn and Moon are the slowest and fastest moving heavenly bodies respectively, whereas Ascendant which is a consequence of rotation of earth on its own axis is more faster than Moon.
However, from astrological point of view, more the proximity more the strength is gained by such yoga. Such yuti is viewed in Parasara school as either good or bad according to the functional rulership obtained by those two planets.
Whereas in Varahamihira's school nothing is particularly mentioned but taken as only planets union as there is no concept of functional rulership in it.
Irrespective of opinion of different schools, we have to take note of one important aspect from this conjunction rules which is unanimously accepted by all schools. This gives an important thumb-rule required to identify the nature of Mercury i.e., either natural malefic or benefic. Because, if one is not well versed in Siddhanta will surely fail to identify the nature of mercury and I haven't found any one single book of modern publications mentioning clearly the nature of Mercury and worse still some books have also failed in identifying the nature of Moon. Reason for saying so is that, all books commonly mention that whenever Mercury is associated with benefic/s is termed benefic and when associated with malefic/s is termed malefic, but they do not resolve the condition when Mercury is in association with both malefic and benefic. Also they do not mention the condition/s that are required to know about a association or yuti. To resolve such situation, it is only possible for one who is either fortunate to attract able guru or fulfil the condition Sraddhavaan labhate jnanam.
Before that, I would like to give some principles that are required to know malefic, benefic and neutral nature of planets which depends on context which we are in. They are

1) Universal context:
In this context, Sun, Mars and Saturn (which are called Nitya papa grahas) are natural malefics (in the increasing order) and Moon, Merc, Venus and Jup (in the increasing order) are natural benefics (which are called Nitya subha grahas) and nodes have no place. This context is so called becasue it is considered on the ciriteria independent of any lagna or astronomical state. This phenomenon is widely used in Varahamihira's school

2) Astronomical context:
In this context, besides three nitya papa grahas, Moon with Paksha-bala <30 -="-" 7th="7th" 90="90" and="and" b="b" begining="begining" bright="bright" by="by" dark="dark" degrees="degrees" end="end" first="first" from="from" half="half" i.e.="i.e." mercury="mercury" of="of" or="or" second="second" shatiamsas="shatiamsas" staying="staying" sun="sun" the="the" to="to">when associated

with these four papa grahas are termed Papagrahas. Again, besides Jupiter and Venus, Moon with Paksha-bala = or > 30 shatiamsas and Mercury when united with these three are termed Subha-grahas.
This means, among the four nitya subha grahas mentioned in Universal context, the two fastest viz., Moon and Mercury (which are again the only two planets that have a single sign for both exaltation and moolatrikona) are separated from them and hence they are called Sandharbha-suddhi grahas or contextual planets

3) Functional context:
This is a concept of Parasara's school where the lagna comes into picture, and depending upon the sign of lagna, the 7 planets mentioned in the above two contexts can change by certain rules and assume benefic and malefic nature

Having said about the three contexts, I would like to resolve the nature of Mercury in Astronomical context as shown below:

1)      By the rules mentioned in conjuntion heading, whenever Mercury is approaching (within 12 degrees) any one or five grahas - except Moon - either in direct or reverse, then the nature of Mercury will assume that planet which is in close proximity to it.
2) If Mercury participates in Graha Yuddha by staying behind by < 1 degree longitude (irrespective of latitude), then also it assumes the nature of the planet with which it is in war
3) If Mercury participates in Graha Yuddha by staying ahead by < 1 degree longitude (irrespective of latitude), then the nature will not assume that of the planet which is behind but only that which is ahead of mercury within 12 degrees
4) Rule 2 and 3 will apply when Mercury is in direct motion, and contrary is true if is in retrograde motion
5) Irrespective of Combustion, Mercury's nature should be determined in accordance with the rules of conjunction with Sun. This implies, Mercury can be simultaenously combust and benefic or combust and malefic.
6) As Moon is a malefic whenever she is + or - 90 degrees from Sun, and in such case, whenever Moon is behind Mercury(who is either direct or reverse) and no planets in between them, there will be a union of Moon with Mercury. As such, Mercury will be a malefic. If Moon crosses over Mercury by even a fraction of a second there may be a samagama but not union, therefore in such case, rules 1 to 5 will apply to determine the nature of Mercury
7) If all the above rules do not apply then Mercury should be treated as isolated one, which according to the Universal context will be a benefic

I will be obliged much to exchange ideas and philosophy from the forum members

Yamghanta and Kokila Yoga are Balaristha yogas

These are certain Muhurtha (auspicious) yoga which can be termed as Balaristha yoga.

Yamghanta Yoga : The combination of Moon’s star and weekday makes this yoga.

S.No.	Weekday	Moon’s constellation
1.	Sunday	Magha (Ketu Mahadasa at birth.)
2.	Monday	Vishaka (Jupiter Mahadasa at birth)
3.	Tuesday	Ardra (Rahu Mahadasa at birth.)
4.	Wednesday	Mula (Ketu Mahadasa at birth.)
5.	Thursday	Kritika (Sun Mahadasa at birth.)
6.	Friday	Rohini (Moon Mahadasa at birth.)
7.	Saturday	Hasta (Moon Mahadasa at birth.)

Kokila Yoga : is that yoga inauspicious yoga which comes in a Day\Night. A Muhurtha duration (span) is the 15^th division of Dinman ( time span from sunrise to sunset) or Ratriman ( time span from sunset to sunrise) .

S. No.	Day Muhurtha	Night Muhurtha	Weekday
1.	14th	13th	Sunday
2.	12th	11th	Monday
3.	10th	9th	Tuesday
4.	8th	7th	Wednesday
5.	6th	5th	Thursday
6.	4th	3rd	Friday
7.	2nd	1st	Saturday

This Kokila Muhurtha is offset when the week day lord and moon is strong in the horoscope and if benefic planet is posited in the ascendent.

Esoteric Astrological Combinations : Sri K N Rao Ji

Today, 19th July 2012, Guru Pushya an auspicious muhurtha. The is must reading for all from my first jyotish Guru.

Esoteric Astrological Combinations

• Connection of 5th and the 9th lords (PAC) is the upward sublimation of the Life Force.(Auspicious)
• Connection of the 6th and 9th lords/houses is ingratitude. (Inauspicious)
• Benefic association of the 2nd house lord (the place of ethical conduct in Astanga Yoga) gives moral support. (Auspicious)
• Malefic concentration in the 2nd house or with its lord gives birth to a liar and a cheat.(Inauspicious)
• If the 5th lord has no aspect or conjunction of any planet it is good for meditation on the Supreme. (Auspicious)
• Aspect of a malefic on a retrograde 5th lord gives birth to a villain. (Inauspicious)
• A good Jupiter without any aspect or conjunction gives stable idealism. (Auspicious)
• A badly aspected Jupiter converts concealed lack of idealism into hypocrisy. (Inauspicious)
• Detachment giver Saturn is best when alone. (Auspicious)
• " Saturn associated with or aspected by planets is bondage as in my case", he said once. (Inauspicious)
• The 11th house which is the house of gains is also the house of bondage. It is good if the 11th lord is afflicted as it increases spiritual thirst. (Auspicious)
• An auspicious 11th house or lord being a strong kama trikona is the illusion of or the Maya. (Inauspicious)

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 From Yogi Bhaskaranandji , Rao sir Guruji :

My Jyotish Guru, Yogi Bhaskaranandji, often discussed with me, when I found him alone in Ahmedabad, the spiritual combinations in a horoscope and insisted that the purpose of astrology is cosmic delineation of human destiny, and not fortune-telling.

The purpose of astrology is true and cosmic guidance and, is most helpful to sadhaks. He was always pleased when he saw a rare horoscope, but was also clear in his mind that astrology had its own limitations, which could perhaps be overcome, if we knew the secrets of nadi-amshas.
The data to be prepared

The data to be prepared for any sound prediction, particularly for Sadhakas, is:

(a) As usual, all the sixteen vargas, but specially birth, navamsha and vimshamsha horoscopes, together with trimshamsha, which has some secret uses.

(b) All Jaimini's karakas with Karakamsha marked prominently.

(c) Vimshottari dasha, a less-used navamsa dasha of Jaimini, (which I have not discussed yet in any article) and, accurate Kala Chakra dasha.

(d) The strength of Jupiter, Mercury, fifth and ninth lords, and association of Ketu with them, must be marked out.

(e) Then watch the movements of Saturn and Jupiter in transit, noting down which navamshas they happen to be in when important events take place.

Combinations

(a) First notice how Ketu is positioned in the horoscope. Ketu-Jupiter inter-connection with twelfth house is always excellent.

(b) Then see the conjunction of Jaimini's Atmakaraka and Putrakaraka, in at least two out of the three: birth horoscope, navamsa and dashamsha.

Examples of His Predictions Ketu

(a) He took up my horoscope and discussed it on some occasions thus: Ketu in the twelfth house with Mercury in its house of exaltation with my atmakaraka was the combination of the ninth lord with Ketu and atmakaraka.

This according to his rating was the best.

(b) The second best was Ketu in the eighth house aspected by Jupiter or with a benefic, preferably Mercury. He praised Mercury in the eighth house, next to Jupiter.

(c) The third best was Ketu in the fourth house with the conjunction of the fifth or the ninth lord or with Jupiter or aspect of Jupiter on it.           

(d) He called the fourth house as the "esoteric" house in the moksha (salvation) triangle, good for astrological pursuits and allied astrological sciences; the eighth house was the "occult" house which would enlarge an astrological vision, with high intuitive gifts and clairvoyance.

 I give here the horoscope of Edgar Caycee, the famous American psychic-healer which illustrates it.

(e) Ketu in the fifth house with Jupiter aspecting it, preferably from the ninth house or Jupiter in the third, aspecting the ninth house was a case of extra-sensory perceptions, as in the case of Cheiro.

(f) Jupiter, Mercury and Ketu's association in any house was good.

(g) Jupiter, Ketu and tenth lord's association with Jupiter aspecting the second or the tenth house was very good for astrological pursuits.

(h) Jupiter aspecting Ketu and ninth house helped deep and original astrological research with hard work.

Jupiter

(a) He always preferred untainted Jupiter in the tenth house as the best. "Adviser to royal families" was the classical astrological meaning of it, according to him, a person whose house will be like a temple. Aspect from here to the second house (speech) and the fourth house (heart, according to Sarvartha Chintamani) lent idealism to karma, speech and heart.

(b) Next position for Jupiter was the fourth house. From here he aspected the eighth and twelfth houses, the occult and spiritual houses.

(c) Jupiter in the twelfth house similarly covered the esoteric house and the occult house.

But did he prefer untainted Jupiter? His answer was any malefic associated or aspecting Jupiter (Ketu was not malefic for spiritual or astrological purposes) created occasions for terrible ego-clashes.
Why did he condemn afflicted Jupiter?

He gave an instance of Jupiter and Rahu, the guru-chandalyoga, a case of ruined idealism, lack of gratitude, religious perversion, misreading and distortion of religious and astrological classics. If Saturn or Mars aspected the combination, it would be a case of extreme guru-chandal yoga.

Then the house where it occurred mattered most. If in the ninth house, the place of Guru, or in the third, from where it aspected the ninth house, it would be a double combination of an ungrateful man who was a scorpion perverted.

Mercury

Briefly, the best was the fourth house for Mercury, second best the eighth, the third best the tenth. (In my case Mercury was more favourable for spiritual pursuits than for astrology.)

He preferred the kendra positions for Mercury. What about the fifth house for Jupiter and Mercury? His answer: good for writing books, business, accumulation of wealth etc. Such persons need not be good predictors.
 
Saturn

Planet of concentration, Saturn in the third, fifth or ninth was capable of conferring detached view in most matters. But again, he insisted an untainted Saturn, like Jupiter.

Saturn in the eighth was the worst, as it made one caustic in speech, aspected the tenth house from the house of intrigues, the house of speech (the second) and the fifth house, the intelligence which harboured malice.

Then he told me that Saturn in the eighth house gave a prolonged disease, brought on the astrologer the curses of his consultors which would fall on his children.

The Lagna

(a) He preferred Mithuna, Tula and Kumbha the intellectual rashis for quick grasp of subtle astrological principles, provided other conditions were fulfilled, as stated in the case of Ketu, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn.

But these people should have malefics in the third or sixth house or both or more planets in fixed rashis, to make them work hard.

(b) His second preference was Kanya lagna which had Mercury's rashi, Mithuna as the tenth house or Dhanu for similar reason.

(c) What about other lagnas. He said all lagnas could be good provided the four planets, Ketu, Jupiter, Mercury and Saturn were well placed.
 
Benefics in Kendras

Sometimes, it appeared that he gave topmost priority to benefics in kendras: one, two or three. A horoscope without any benefic in kendra would get compensated to some extent, if benefics aspected kendras. The Vishnu sthanas (quadrants) showed nobility and benefics reinforced such noble approach to the divine subject of astrology.

An astrologer with only malefics in kendras was a malicious, ill-equipped, dishonest and poor scholar with either no sound knowledge or ill-digested knowledge, in which he would combine inferior siddhis more, and astrology less. This is known as shoola (thorn) yoga. They have unhappiness in their families with their children and wife etc. revolting against him and create enemies, out of sheer malice. If there was one of the malefics in such kendras without a single benefic, it was the shoola yoga at its worst. Aspect of a benefic on any of the malefics in kendras could at most slightly reduce it, but they are born astrological frauds.
Benefic Rashis

He preferred, whatever be the lagna or position of Saturn, Jupiter, Ketu and Mercury, the rashis of Jupiter and Mercury for the placement of planets most. He would count how many planets were in Mithuna, Kanya, Dhanu and Meena. Next, in preference were the rashis of Venus, Tula, in preference to Vrisha and that of Moon, Karka.

He insisted that the moolatrikona rashis had a deep influence Mesha, Kanya, Tula, Dhanu, Kumbha. Planets in these or lagna in them had their own strength and vigour.

Navamsha

He told me some secret rules and asked me never to disclose them, as without examination of navamsha, the bare analysis of the horoscope could be misleading.

Some general principles are:

(a) Benefic influence on the fifth house, fifth lord or preferably of Jupiter, next, of Mercury and then, of Venus.

(b) He praised sky high Mercury influencing the tenth or the tenth lord.
 
Nakshatras

He singled out Mercury's nakshatras as the best. It had to be either the tenth lord in the nakshatra of Mercury or a planet in the tenth house in this nakshatra. In my case, he pointed out my tenth lord in the nakshatra of Mars kept me more busy in office while, my Jupiter in the tenth in the nakshatra of Mercury would turn my hobby of astrology into a serious pursuit, not though full time pursuit. It is true, as during my entire service career, I had to stop astrology for some months in a year, when the pressure of office work increased. In 1990 when I authored two non-astrological books, I could not contribute a single article to the Astrological Magazine.

He told me that he encouraged me because of my tenth Jupiter, twelfth Ketu with Mercury aspected by my fifth lord and aspect of Jupiter from Kumbha in my navamsha (Mesha) on the fifth lord (Sun) in Simha.

Dasha Sequence

Doing astrology in the dashas of benefics in kendras or malefics in the third, sixth or eleventh would be fruitful. Withdrawal from astrology in the dasha of benefic in the twelfth, and spiritual pursuits gaining precedence, was inevitable and would happen in my case. It is why I would stop my astrological consultations, he predicted. I have already reduced my astrological consultations down to ten percent and on the advice of Mauni Baba of Ujjain I am concentrating only on writing, research and week-end teaching. This has given me tremendous relief.
Similarities

The spiritual combinations told by my Guruji and by my Jyotisha Guru were more or less common. Why they stressed on these they explained in their own way. An astrologer had to have idealism and spirituality. Malefics in kendras or guru-chandal yoga, were ruinous both for astrology and spirituality. The dasha of a malefic in the tenth house, or a malefic in the eighth house was the beginning of disgrace, aggressive malice and self-ruination.

My Testing

I have tested these combinations on more than hundred horoscopes of astrologers who themselves passed them on to me and wanted me to give them predictions. My own addition to them are:

(a) All the combinations given by Yogiji work hundred percent in the birth horoscope.

(b) Navamsha reveals much more or confirms it. But he asked me not to disclose them.

(c) The dasha an astrologer is running is important, as an astrologer in bad dashas would commit more mistakes.

(d) But all this has to be combined with intense worship. The advice of saints to astrologers has been:

(a) My Guruji insisted on sattwick life, with sattwick food and japam.

(b) Yogiji stressed it, along with hard work on hundreds of horoscopes and vargas.

(c) Mauni Baba insisted on giving consultations to minimum people as, it was a waste of tapasya.

(d) Moorkhanandji said that every astrologer must worship the God Sun, through a Surya Mantra.

(e) But Yogiji advised me to examine navamsha to find out the antarayas or yoga-vighnas (obstacles), whether for astrology or spiritual life. What he taught me has proved brilliant. When foreign disciples of Indian gurus come to me, I pinpoint, what exactly is going wrong with them, when, and they are surprised.

To sum up; breathing rhythmically deeply with your guru mantra is eighty percent your sadhana and can be done anytime, anywhere.

Yogas with adjacent house lords Lomesh Samhita

These yogas are not found easily in other classical text.

Twelve Yogas formed with mutual exhange of adjacent house lords from Lomesh Samhita.

Sl	Yoga Name	Mutual exchange of
1.	Pushkala Labha (enormous gains)	1st and 2nd House
2.	Rajamrityu (death in royal place)	2nd and 3rd house
3.	Amatya (minister ship)	3rd and 4th house
4.	Daruna Karma (harsh deeds)	4th and 5th house
5.	Raja Yoga (kingly combination)	5th and 6th house
6.	Roga (disease)	6th and 7th house
7.	Priya - Mriti  (gain of beloved – death)	7th and 8th house
8.	Bhagyavyaya (loss of luck)	8th and 9th house
9.	Rajyoga (kingly combination)	9th and 10th house
10.	Bhumidravya  (wealth related to land)	10th and 11th house
11.	Rinavyaya (expenditure of debt)	11th and 12th house
12.	Vittahani  (loss of wealth)	12th and 1st house.

When the lords exchange places or are placed together in the same house or if they aspect each other fully or in the same varga then they give rise to these yogas. If weak then they do not give rise to these yogas. If cojoined with enemies or of weak or if aspected or conjoined malefics then they do not give rise to these yogas. If placed in the 12^th,8^th,6^th or 11^th houses or if cojoined with their lords or if their lords are in these houses then also the yoga is not created. If retrograde then also the Raja, Amatya etc yoga are destroyed.

Please note the point number 4 that exchange of 4th and 5th house lords does not create Raja Yoga instead it is mentioned for exchange of 5th and 6th lord.
