Introduction

The great VARAHA MIHIRA, whose works on astrology are revered by many, writing about the SarvatobhadraChakra says that it is capable of showing immediate results, which can be verified and that this Chakra enlightens theThree Worlds. The author of MANSAGARI(an Astrological text in extensive use in North India) in a chapter entitledSarvatobhadra Chakra says that this will Illumine the Three Worlds. Another author says that this Chakra willenlighten us about the past, present and future and is, therefore, comparable to TRILOKYA DEEPA (a lamp for

lighting up the Three Worlds). These bold statements not only give a clue to the great importance attached to it by thereputed writers but also the fact that the Chakra is a multipurpose tool.

In our enquiries we found that this Chakra is used for (1) predicting the price ranges of commodities like cotton, gold,cereals and food stuff etc. (2) the future of nations, results of battles etc. for purposes of political astrology (3)predicting events concerning a native's future, though to a limited extent.

Exhaustive literature on this subject is not available. We are, therefore, presenting in this booklet whatever literaturewe could lay our hands on, in the hope that serious students of astrology would pursue the matter, carry outresearches and make their experience available to the public in due course. The opinions expressed by Varaha Mihiraand the author of Mansagari is so clear and so firm, this matter really warrants the serious attention of students ofastrology and may perhaps prove to be yet another method to make predictions with greater accuracy. This could

even be the missing link in the art of prediction, without which we have been unable to predict with completeaccuracy.

We refuse to believe that a personality of the stature of Varaha Mihira would have left anything for posterity that isnot really useful and his expression in the very first Sloka says this Chakra will throw light on the Three Worldsshould be taken at its face value and applied with all sincerity and verified.

Doubts and ambiguities do exist in this book and will become apparent as the reader covers chapter after chapter.These are:

a. Has each Graha one or three Vedha Dristhis?b. 16 cells are allotted for 16 vowels; it seems that a majority of these cells cannot be put to use by persons following

languages other than Sanskrit;c. Nakshatra Abhijit has a cell for itself, but is not reckoned for many a purpose;d. Whether weekdays and Janma Lagna are to be considered besides Panchka?

Research over a number of years in the different fields in which this Chakra can be used could only provideappropriate answers to these or unearthing other available literature on the subject.

Mantreswara's PHALADEEPIKA is one of the big five works on astrology, the most condensed book, clear cut inexpression, yet covering a much wider field than other texts. There is a chapter allocated in this book for NakshatraGochara, Vedha, Latta etc. viz chapter 26. These are principal items in the S.B. Chakra methodology. In Sloka 47,Mantreswara mentions that Subha and Papa Vedhas (front, right and left Dristhis which pass through cell to cell)have to be considered in predicting transit effects. The mere fact that a highly condensed treatise as PHALADEEPIKA

has allocated more than half a chapter to this Chakra illustrates the importance attached to it by an authority likeMantreswara, the most recent writer.

Some of the students and researchers in astrology including foreigners have been impatiently pressing us forinformation and literature on this Chakra. Besides, it also became apparent to the translators that they could not makeany further headway into this branch of astrology. Hence, this publication is being released in the sincere hope thatfurther researches will be made by those who have time and make know the results.

We are deeply indebted to Shri KM Kharegatfor all the help rendered in the compilation of this book and to KarmaYogi Shri Upendra T. Mehtafor the financial and other assistance rendered. May the Nava Grahas bestow peace andprosperity on them.

Chakra

Draw 10 vertical lines and 10 horizontal lines intersecting each other, so that you have 9 x 9 = 81 cells. Ensure that allthe cells are square and of equal size, so that the chart may be used with ease.

Entry starts from top left.

Directions

Top of Chakra represents EAST, top left NORTH-EASTand top-right SOUTH-EASTRight side: SOUTHLeft side: NORTHBottom of Chakra:WEST, bottom-left NORTH-WESTand bottom-right SOUTH-WEST.

EAST at the top may seem a bit unusual for we are used to NORTH at the top.

Nakshatra

The four cells at 4 corners of Chakra are allotted to 4 long vowels A, AA, E (I), EE (II).The remaining 7 cells each at the top, bottom and the two sides (29 cells) are allotted to 28 Nakshatras (includingAbhijit) of Hindu astrology as shown in chart I below.

Abhijit is a very small Nakshatra and is located on Nirayana Zodiac at 6 40' Makara to 10 53' 20" Makara. This isbased on the authority of Varaha Mihira and FC Dutt. This Nakshatra is also in use in Ashtottari Maha Dasa system.The above arrangement is based on the assumption that 25 Nakshatras, Aswini to Purva Ashada (20) and Dhanishtato Revati (5) are all occupying equal distances of 13 20' each and the remaining 3 Nakshatras Uttara Ashada, Abhijitand Sravana occupy varying distances but totaling 26 40'. For location of all Nakshatras, see Appendix A.

There is a school of thought according to which all 28 Nakshatras occupy equal distances on Zodiac, i.e. 360divided

by 28 => 12 6/7' per Nakshatra. In view of Varaha Mihira's authority about the location of Abhijit as also thedistances occupied by the preceding and succeeding Nakshatras, it not be advisable to accept the opinion that all 28Nakshatras occupy equal distances, just to satisfy mathematical requirements.

In our studies, we have also come across some almanacs in the country wherein even today, Abhijit is shown inbetween Purva Ashada and Uttara Ashada.

These two differences of opinion may NOT be accepted until research proves it otherwise.

Rasis of Zodiac corresponding to Chandr Rasi

Cells 58, 59, 60, 62, 63, 64, 66, 67, 68, 70, 71 and 72 are allotted to 12Rasis of Zodiac, Vrishabha to Mesha respectively (Vrishabha cell 58 toMesha cell 72). See also chart I.

Tithis (lunar days)

Tithis are allotted among 5 cellscomprising the cell right at thecenter, 81, and 4 cells at the

North, East, South and Westviz. 74, 76, 78 and 80 as shownhere in chart II.

1 Pradhama / 2 Dwiteeya / 3 Thriteeya / 4 Chaturthi / 5 Panchami / 6 Shashti / 7 Saptami / 8 Ashtami / 9 Navami/ 10 Dasami / 11 Ekadasi / 12 Dwadasi / 13 Thrayodasi / 14 Chaturdasi / 15 Poornima (Full Chandr) OR Amavasya(New Chandr).

Weekdays are also being included by some in 5 cells housing Tithis in the following manner:76 Sunday, Tuesday / 78 Monday, Wednesday / 80 Thursday / 74 Friday / 81 Saturday.

Weekdays do NOT form part of PANCHKA(explained later) and may be ignored until research proves it otherwise.

Vowels

The 16 vowels (in Sanskrit) are arranged in Sarvatobhadra Chakra as shown in chart I. See also Appendix B for fulldetails. The natural order of occurrence of these vowels is:

A (short) / AA (long) / E (short) / EE (long) / OO (short as in Cook) / OO (long as in School) / RE (short as in Rig) /REE (long as in reach) / LE (short) and LEE (long) - these two do not seem to occur in languages other than Sanskrit

and some Indian vernaculars / AE (short) / AE (long) / O as in coke / OW as in Cowdrey / AM as in KUM / AHAas in AHAMED.These 16 vowels are the same as those taught in schools in the very first lesson in India. In some vernaculars, only 12are used.

Namanakshatras

Namanakshatras (19 consonants and 1 vowel), 20 in number are arranged as show in chart I. Appendix B explainswhere the vowels / Namanakshatras are used. It will be observed that A is used both as a vowel (cell 1) and as aNamanakshatra (cell 34).

Chapter 2

How to use Chakra

Place Grahas, on any given day and time, on the respective Nakshatras.Appendix A is a ready reckoner showing distances occupied by 28Nakshatras on Zodiac as per Nirayana and Sayana (western) along withtheir English names.

Tara Grahas (Tara - star, Graha - planet, Tara Graha planets whichresemble stars) namely, Mangal, Budh, Guru, Sukr, Sani:

when in retrogression, Dristhi the right side; when moving fast, Dristhi the left side; when moving at normal speed, Dristhi the front.

(Read Rahu's Dristhi from this side facing South)

The right and left Dristhis always pass an angle of 45 either to theright or the left, starting from the cell where Graha is situated, fromone corner of Rasi into the other and stops only on reaching aNakshatra in the cells flanking any one of the sides of Chakra.

The front Dristhi is NOT supposed to pass through, Rasi to Rasi,

but Nakshatra at the end of Dristhi alone gets the effect.

That is to say, the right and left Dristhis have their effects on all cellsthrough which Dristhi passes, but the front Dristhi affects onlyNakshatra in front. See pictures 1 4 (on this page). Ketu in thesecond picture has been placed in cell 16 mere for illustrating Dristhifrom that position.

(Read Ketu's Dristhi from this side facing North)

Rahu and Ketu are always retrograde. Surya and Chandr are alwaysconsidered fast moving. The former two Grahas belong to Chaya Graha(shadow planets), the latter to Raja Grahas (kingly planets). These four

Grahas will always Dristhi in all three directions, i.e. left, right and front.

Note: On the question of Dristhis, there are serious differences of opinions.Some say all Grahas Dristhi all 3 sides while others who differ, say all Grahashave only 1 Dristhi depending on speed / retrogression. The translator'spreference is single Dristhi for Tara Grahas and 3 sides Dristhi for the rest.

(Read Surya's Dristhis from this side facing East)

Contents

(Read Chandr's Dristhis from this side facing West)

As already stated, the left and right Dristhis pass through Rasi to Rasi andaffect the vowel, Namanakshatra, Rasi, Tithi and Nakshatra occupying theDristhied cells, while the front Dristhi affects only Nakshatra at the otherextreme.

Special DristhisGrahas occupying the quarter of a Nakshatra immediately adjacent to thefour corner cells (1, 9, 17, 25) affect the long vowels close to it. See secondpicture on previous page for example (Ketu Dristhis 'i' in bottom-rightcorner).

Along with the above, the same Graha also affects Pournami or Amavasya [Editor's note: since center cell 81 is onfront Dristhi of those affected cells, viz. 5, 13, 21, 26].

Pairs among consonants

There are a few more consonants in actual use than those catered for in Sarvatobhadra Chakra. These are indicated inAppendix B.

Classification of Grahas

Subha [benefic]Guru, Sukr and Chandr from 5thTithi (Panchami) in Sukla Paksha to 10thTithi (Dasami) in Krishna Paksha (both daysinclusive). [Ch - 5 days before and after New Chandr - Amavasya.]

Papa [malefic]Sani, Surya, Mangal, Rahu, Ketu and Chandr from 11 thTithi (Ekadasi) in Krishna Paksha to 4 thTithi (Chaturthi) inSukla Paksha (both days inclusive).

BudhBudh is considered a Papa when conjunct with a Papa and their Navamsa [Editors note: same Pada of Nakshatra]and Nakshatra then happen to be the same; otherwise Subha.

Retrograde malefics are considered highly Papa and retrograde benefic highly Subha; when moving fast (more thanmean motion), all Grahas retain their original Subha / Papa nature.

They are supposed to be fast [Editors note: at max speed, just before they decelerate], and therefore Dristhing the leftside. When retrograde (irrespective of speed), Dristhi for the above Grahas is to the right; and at all other time, frontonly.

Chapter 3

Panchka

Panchka

Namanakshatra (consonant) occurring first in the name, next Swara (vowel), next Tithi, next Janma Nakshatra andlastly Chandr Rasi are known as Panchka in the order given.

Example:

Panchka for one with date of birthExample Horoscope:Birth in Purva Phalguni 3rdQuarter

Surya in Meena 7Chandr in Simha 21

Namanakshatra for this Quarter: Ti (vide Appendix A) corresponding to consonant TChandr has traversed 164 from Surya: 164/12 = 13 +, i.e. birth on 14 thTithi or Chaturdasi Sukla PakshaChandr is in Simha as Nakshatra falls in SimhaThe quarter of Janma Nakshatra provides Namanakshatra with Swara, Tithi and Rasi.

Thus, Panchka for the native with above birth date would be:Namanakshatra T cell 41 Ti (as 'tea') in 3rdqtr. Purva Phalguni in Appendix ASwara E cell 17Tithi 14th cell 80

Nakshatra Purva Phalguni cell 11Rasi Simha cell 62Lagna Meena cell 71

* Researchers are considering Lagna also in addition to Panchka.

Panchka for one without date of birthFor those who have no horoscope or recorded time of birth, these particulars are determined with reference to thename of the person concerned in the following manner:

The name of the person is the one, using which, a person falls asleep, would wake up, or if walking / awake, wouldrespond to. The mere sound produced when uttering a name is criterion, irrespective of the spelling or the language.

The following table would be of assistance in doing it.

This chart has only 5 basic vowels and 30 consonants. All names have to be brought under one of these vowels andconsonants. The first vowel and consonant or the first consonant and vowel, as the case may be, are considered andprovide the starting point.

RAMA has R and A as the first consonant and vowel, while ARUMUGAM has A and R as the first vowel andconsonant. In names like RAMA (where first consonant is followed by a vowel), the first consonant is taken intoaccount and in names like ARUMUGAM (where the first uttered sound is a vowel followed by a consonant), the

vowel is ignored and consonant taken into account. Thus, in both cases, R provides the starting point. Now, locate theconsonant Rin the table above, which reveals Swara in this case, AE.

Assuming that Panchka is required for RAMA, details of which are as follows:

Namanakshatra R cell 43Swara A cell 1 basic vowel AE determined from Table VI is a compound of A and E;it is permissible to do so. Where a doubt arises, it is safe to stick to the vowel obtained from Table VI.

Tithi 14th cell 80Nakshatra Chitra 3rdqtr. cell 14 reference to Appendix A shows that RA occurs against Chitra 3rdqtr.Rasi Tula cell 64

Determination of Panchka correctly is of PIVOTAL IMPORTANCE. For those with birth date, the qtr. of Nakshatraof birth provides Swara with Namanakshatra. Tithi and Rasi are determined otherwise. For those without date ofbirth, the initial consonant in name provides main Swara through Table VI; with the help of main Swara, using TableVII, Tithi is found; Rasi and Nakshatra are determined with the help of Appendix A.

Chapter 4

Strength of Grahas

Strength of Grahas

All Grahas enjoy full strength or 100% in own Rasi; 75% in friendly Rasi; 50% in neutral Rasi; and 25% in enemy Rasi.The position is different in regard to the strength of Grahas in the matter of conferring effects.

Subha confer full or 100% in own Rasi; 75% in friendly Rasi; 50% in neutral Rasi; and 25% in enemy Rasi.

Papa confer full or 100% Papa effects in enemy Rasi; 75% Papa effects in neutral Rasi; 50% Papa effects in friendlyRasi; and 25% Papa effects in own Rasi.

The effectof an Dristhi will be proportionate to the strength of Graha Dristhing. The word Dristhi used throughoutthis book means left / right / front Dristhi or all of them as applicable, unless otherwise stated. Aspect to one or moreof Panchka is meant.

The effects of position (Kshetra Bala - strength derived by reason of a Graha's stay in a Rasi) are doubled if Grahaconcerned is retrograde. If too fast or in exaltation, tripled. Ownership, exaltation, debilitation Rasis are as is generallyfollowed. Thus, after ascertaining the speed, position etc. results should be pronounced.

The bad effects flowing from a Papa ceases the moment Papa leaves Nakshatra from which Dristhi

originated.

Paksha Phala

Paksha Phala

Forecast of effects for the ensuing fortnight etc.

Somewhat on the lines of Varsha Phala (forecast for natives for the whole year) is foretold based on planetary

positions prevailing on 1st

day of each Hindu year, the effects for the ensuing Paksha (which is equivalent to afortnight) either Krishna or Sukla or any particular day or moment can be found. For ascertaining Paksha Phala,Nakshatra on which Surya was standing as per almanac, on 1stday of the fortnight alone, is necessary. Thereafter,proceed to place the rest of Grahas (without reference to almanac or ephemeris) based on the following table:

During the month of Oct 1944, the native of the example horoscope was seriously laid up and death was anticipatedany day during that month. The major period and the sub period then operating were very bad, capable of inflictingdeath. Sarvatobhadra Chakra drawn as per above table for the two fortnights commencing on 2 ndOct 1944 and 17thOct 1944 to ascertain Paksha Phala are attached as chart XI and XII Appendix D with comments and deductions.Likewise, the effects of a particular day are decided with reference to the position of Chandr as per ephemeris and therest of Grahas inserted as per the following table.

Similarly, the effects for a given moment or just before embarking on a new venture are found by locating Surya fromthe ephemeris and inserting Surya on the appropriate Nakshatra and proceed to place the rest of Grahas as perfollowing table.

A scrutiny of Tables VIII, IX and X may give rise to a host of questions and doubts such as:

a. Rahu and Ketu never occupy opposite positionsb. Budh does not get away from Surya as much as 11 Nakshatras - Table Xc. Chandr is always conjunct with Ketu in Table VIIId. Why assume fictitious positions for Grahas when actual locations are available from ephemeris / Panchang?

A possible answer to these questions could be that Sages have devised a quick method of divining effects using onlythe location of Surya or Chandr and considering the trend of Graha transits as applicable to Sarvatobhadra Chakra.The author assures that surprisingly accurate results, immediately verifiable, will be obtained if delineation is donefor fortnight, day and moment on this methodology.

Chapter 6

Muhurtha (Electional astrology)

All undertakings done on a Tithi, Rasi, Nakshatra or Navamsa (rising at the time of commencing an undertaking),

which is occupied by a Papa in Chakra, will end in failure, i.e. a marriage will not be enjoyed by the couple, a travelermay not return or a disease starting at that time may prove fatal.

If Rasi, Navamsa or Nakshatra is afflicted when an undertaking is commenced:

Rasi loss of position

Nakshatra losses

Navamsa death / failure

Rasi, Nakshatra, Navamsa simultaneously death / serious loss or failure certain

-//- afflicted by Sy sorrow

-//- Ma death / quarrels

-//- Sa loss / disease

-//- Ra wounds

-//- Ke poisonous effects

-//- Subha success

-//- Bu knowledge

-//- Gu well being

-//- Sk good effects

Afflicted in the above context means Dristhi or Juti.

In Sukla Paksha, Chandr causes good effects by his Dristhi / conjunction, in Krishna Paksha, evil effects.

Nakshatra just vacated or occupied or being Dristhied by a Papa should be avoided for all important undertakings, asfailure is possible then. Assuming you are sending in your resume or plan to attend an interview on a day whenChandr is occupying Aswini. If that Nakshatra has just been vacated by or is under occupation by a Papa or a PapaDristhi is falling on Aswini, it is not advisable to go ahead, as failure is likely. If you can afford to wait for a day whichis free from these 3 afflictions, go ahead on a day when there is Subha Dristhi on Nakshatra occupied by Chandr.

Where one of Panchka is afflicted, the degree of affliction is as follows:

Just vacated [left] DAGDA - burnt the effect has just occurred

Under occupation JWALITA - burning the effect is taking place

Going to be occupied DHOOMITA - smoky the effect is going to take place

When affliction is caused by Papa:

DAGDA: death or near effectsJWALITA: upset of health by way of illnessDHOOMITA: pains, illness etc. preliminary to a disease

When affliction is caused by Subha, corresponding Subha effects will come to pass.

If all 5 of Panchka are simultaneously Dristhied by Subhas, there will be increases and all round gains.

Just as a malefic confers Papa effects, benefic confers Subha effects.

When a Papa and a Subha happen to stand on a single Nakshatra, the effect of the resulting Dristhi will be Papa.

This is particularly so in the case of Budh and to a large extent in the case of Sukr, Guru and Full Chandr.

Diseases

Method of using Sarvatobhadra Chakra in connection with diseases

Erect Sarvatobhadra Chakra for the time at which a disease or sickness starts or an accident occurs, and ascertainSubha as well as Papa Dristhis to Panchka. If Dristhi of a retrograde (Vakra) Papa has caused the start of a disease,death would result; if a fast-moving malefic, the disease will be of a long duration.

Chapter 8

Directions

8 directions and various Nakshatras allotted to each direction are shown in Sarvatobhadra Chakra chart I. At a giventime, ascertain Rasi of Zodiac occupied by Surya and the directions indicated by that Rasi in SBC is said to be eclipsed(the word used in this context means a sort of affliction). The eclipsing of a direction by Surya lasts a maximum of 3months starting from the time of entry of Surya into the first Rasi in a direction to the time of leaving Rasi in thatdirection. For example, East will be eclipsed from the time of Surya's entry into Vrishabha to the time of leavingKarka.

There is a school of thought which is of the opinion that the eclipsing of a direction is neither forward nor backwardbut on both sides, that is to say, when Surya is on Ardra (cell 5), the whole of East is agreed to be under eclipse, i.e. thedirection covered by Nakshatra under occupation plus 3 Nakshatras each on either side. Similarly, when Suryaoccupies Aslesha (cell 8), the directions or just that much of the directions covered by Nakshatras in cell 5 to cell 12,


17/43

Contents

both inclusive, will be eclipsed. This may look satisfactory from a mathematical point of view. According to Shastra,when Surya is in the East (cell 2 to 8), East is said to be under affliction; similarly for other directions.

Affliction of Swara (vowels)

Just as Nakshatras get afflicted, vowels are liable to get afflicted too. 16 long vowels occupy 4 corner cells, as shown inChakra. 4 long vowels in cell 1, 33, 57 and 73 are in the East, those in cell 9, 39, 61 and 75 are in the South and the

remainder E, RE (short), AE (short) AM in the West and EE, REE, AE (long) and AHA in the North.

When a direction is eclipsed / afflicted, the vowels in that direction also get the same affliction, for 3 months. Similaraffliction for 3 months also arises for Namanakshatras (consonants), Rasis and Tithis. When one of constituents ofPanchka gets eclipsed by Surya, the effects are:

Nakshatra sickness

Consonant loss

Vowel sorrow

Rasi obstruction / impediment

Tithi death *

* death here denotes the seriousness of the effect, rather it denotes that the worst could happen under thecircumstances.Under these afflictions, no journeys should be undertaken, no marriage should be performed, no Griha Pravesha(entry into house for the first time), no litigation launched or battle waged during 3 months.

112 quarters of 28 Nakshatras have each a Namanakshatra as per Appendix A. When a Papa passes over a quarter ofany Nakshatra, Namanakshatra pertaining to that quarter is said to be under Vedha (Papa Juti / obstruction). If bothSwara (vowel) and Namanakshatra (consonant) are under Vedha, there will be danger and loss of position.

When Panchka as a lot or majority of them are under Vedha, such natives should not engage in battle or join thefighting forces engaged in war, for death is likely.

Astrologers should consider these Dristhis carefully before advising their sovereign to embark upon any militaryadventure against another country.

When the Armed Forces attack another country or army, the attack should be made in the direction under Vedha /Papa Juti (particularly Surya), when success is assured.

Where both the parties are under Vedha, the side which is under stronger Vedha will succumb.

If Vedha is identical, then the one that strikes first will win.

Effects of Subha Dristhi / conjunction to the constituent of Panchka

Nakshatra good healthNamanakshatra gains

All of them simultaneously all round success and increased prosperity

Even though the chart erected for the time of first attack in Goa LiberationCampaign is fit for discussion under political astrology, chart is studied toillustrate some of the above rules.

Nakshatra for GOA - Satabisha, was only recently vacated by Ketu. Hence,DAGDA. Further, chart reveals 5 Papa Dristhis on two of Panchkassimultaneously.

Deductions

West is afflicted because Surya is in the West.

The first tangible blow to Goa Government came in the West with the sinking of Alfonso de Albuquerque.

Rasi which falls in cell 70 is being Dristhied by malefics from 3 sides.The consonant in cell 52 is being Dristhied from 2 sides by malefics.

The afflictions noted above are far too many, which brought in the downfall of Goa so soon.

Chapter 9

Prasna (Horary astrology)

Erect Sarvatobhadra Chakra for the moment when a question is asked. Find out the first letterin the question. This 1st

letter will be one of the consonants listed in Appendix A Namanakshatra; if not, locate it in Appendix B, which will becoming under one of 20 consonants covered by SB Chakra (cell 33 to 56 barring the four corners).

If it is under Papa Dristhi or affliction astrologer should not answer the question. Under such circumstances, evileffects would ensue. If Rasi is Dristhied by benefic, good effects will follow. If there is both Subha and Papa Dristhi toRasi, mixed results would follow, depending upon the strength of Grahas involved.

The rules in the preceding paragraph give only general effects, but if Rasi is under Papa affliction, proceed to answerthe question under normal astrological rules for horary astrology, treating the indications given by SB Chakra ascorroboration.

If Rasi is Chara (movable), lost property will not be regained; a sick person will not recover and a baby born will beshort-lived.

Sthira (fixed) Rasi indicates reverse or favorable results.

Ubhaya (common) Rasis indicate quick recovery of lost articles / property, quick cure and longevity for a child born.

Multiple Vedha

When one of the constituents of Panchka is Dristhied by more than 1 Papa from 2 sides, say, right and left (as theconsonant GA in Goa Liberation Campaign Chakra was being Dristhied by Rahu and Ketu from 2 sides) OR from aside and front, death is certain.

When Namanakshatra is afflicted from 1 side, loss of position will occur; from 2 sides, death is possible.

When 2 or more malefics cause simultaneous Vedha, loss of property, position and even death is possible.

The district, town or country under Vedha from 2 sides will face destruction.

Upagrahas - sensitive points from Surya

8 Nakshatras counted from the one on which Surya is standing are supposed to be occupied by the followingUpagrahas. Nakshatra under occupation by Surya is called Bhookampa.

Generally speaking, days corresponding to Nakshatras on which any of Upagrahas stand should be avoided for all

auspicious undertakings [Chandr in those Nakshatras?].

Death generally occurs on a Nakshatra which is occupied by an Upagraha and is simultaneously under Papa Dristhi /Juti. For example, a girl married on a day coinciding with a day listed above will face the following consequences:

Vidyanmukha loss of sons

Shoola loss of husband

Sannipatha loss of husband shortly

Ketu loss of husband's brother

Ulka loss of money

Vajra loss of relations

Kampa loss of position

Nirghata loss of family

In addition to an Upagraha standing on a Nakshatra, if there be a Papa Dristhi, the indicated evil effect will be severe.

For a native born on Purva Phalguni (cell 11), the following are Nakshatras on which various Upagrahas would bestanding: [Weird info, since native born in Purva Phalguni has Chandr in Purva Phalguni; Surya can be anywhereelse; but we got the point - author probably ment 'native which has Surya in Purva Phalguni'.]

Latta

Latta is a sensitive point, Papa always, determined from Nakshatra occupied by a Graha and is usually a givennumber of Nakshatras in front of a Graha (clockwise) OR behind a Graha (anti-clockwise). Irrespective of whether aGraha is Subha / Papa, when Latta of a Graha falls on a Nakshatra, the latter is called as a Graha's Latta and denotes a

particular kind of evil.

In Latta calculations, Abhijit is omitted.

Latta of Falls on Nak. [in front] Effect

Sy 12thin front [12th] denoting defeat

Ma 3rd [3rd] suffering

Gu 6th [6th] sickness

Sa 8th [8th] fear

Ch 22ndbehind [7th] fear / death

Bu 7th [22nd] loss of relatives

Sk 5th [24th] failure / fear

Ra / Ke 9th [20th] death

[Since information is given in 2 directions, instead of only in 1 direction, like 3rd column, there is probably some'undercover' meaning or effect of those 2 directions - front & behind.]

In order that the reader gets familiar with the procedure for finding Latta points, an example chart has been prepared.Janma Nakshatra is assumed as Purva Phalguni and planetary positions assumed are as in example horoscope.Grahas, as they stand on Nakshatras, are shown; the respective Latta points are shown alongside.

If Surya's Latta has fallen on Janma Nakshatra and a Graha stands there, effects are as under:

Ma loss of position; stomach disordersMa & Ch great fear

Ch bilious disorders; travel; itches

Bu separation from dear ones

Gu separation from Ruler

Sa loss of wealth / quadrupeds

Ra various losses

Ke fear from weapons

The following are the effects of Surya standing on Janma Nakshatra while Latta of another Graha has fallen on it.

Ma house break-in, loss of wealth, fever and fear from weapons

Sa fever and fear from thievesBu commits folly

Gu suffers pains

Sk urinary disorders & dissensions with wife

Note: If Surya and Chandr together stand on Janma Nakshatra under the above Yoga, the effects would be still moresevere.If Janma Nakshatra has an Upagraha on it, in addition to Latta and a Dristhi from a retrograde Papa (in SBC), deathbecomes a possibility.

If there is an Dristhi from a Papa who is Dristhing the front only, illness would result.

Chakra shows Grahas, as per their actual position, in BLUE, and their Latta points are shown in RED.

In Sukla Paksha, Subhas Dristhi in front and Papas Dristhi backwards (behind). In Krishna Paksha, reverse. During day, Subhas look in front and Papas behind. At night, the reverse. During first half of the day, Subhas look in front and Papas behind. During the second half of the day, reverse. These Dristhis are as applicable to Nakshatras.Effects of Dristhis on Nakshatras by various Grahas are as follows:

Sy loss due to war

The joint Dristhis of Surya, Mangal, Sani and Rahu are capable of causing death and obstruction.

The joint Dristhis of Subha Full Chandr, Subha Budh, Guru and Sukr cause gains, victory, happiness and prosperity.

Dristhis of retrograde Papas are highly Papa and those of retrograde Subhas highly Subha. Papa in mean motion tendto do well. Aspect of a fast moving Subha produces sometimes Papa effects; in mean motion moderate effects; ifeclipsed or combust (in general astrology) no effects. Papas in fast motion produces moderate effects; if eclipsed no

effects.

When the country is engaged in war, the effects indicated by SBC have to be suitably delineated as follows:

Papascausing affliction

Effects

If 1 Papa fear

If 2 Papas defeat

3 -//- danger

4 -//- bondage

5 -//- death

If Sa wound will be inflicted in flesh

Ma loss of bloodSy fracture of bones

Subha unhurt and no loss

The time of occurrence of the above effects is when the afflicted Nakshatra is traversed by Chandr.

Aspects of Grahas falling on other Nakshatras have to be determined and considered along with all other afflictions.

Contents

Rasi Strength

Own 100% (full)

Friendly 75%

Neutral 50%

Enemy 25%

If Graha is in the middle of a Rasi, these percentages hold good; otherwise, pro-rata reduction has to be made.

Similarly, when a Graha is in retrogression, full retrogression strength is assessed at the middle of retrogression,otherwise, pro-rata reduction has to be made.

At exaltation degree - full effect; 50% at debilitation; pro-rata in between.

Ascertain the Lord of the country and the relation between such Lord of country and Graha causing Papa / SubhaDristhi / Juti.

If Lord of the country and Graha causing Vedha be one and the same, assign 100% strength for Vedha Dristhi / Juti; ifthe latter [causing Vedhs] is a friend of the former [Lord of county] - 75%; neutral - 50%; enemy - 25%. Theseassignments of strength are when Subhas are considered. If a Papa is causing Vedha and the Lord of the country and

Graha causing Vedha be one and the same - 25%; Graha of friendly category - 50%; neutral - 75% and enemy - 100%(full).

If in addition to Vedha Graha also Dristhis the consonant the strength will be as under:

As in general astrology, all Grahas Dristhi 3rdand 10thfrom Rasi occupied with thDristhi strength; 5th/ 9 thwith Dristhi strength; 4th/ 8thwith thDristhi strength and 7thin full.

Dristhis of Sani to 3rd/ 10th, Guru to 5th/ 9thand Mangal to 4th/ 8thare full, instead of the fractional strength forothers.

Dristhi on a Rasi in Rasi Chakra is deemed to be a Dristhi on the remainder of Panchka. Assume Guru Dristhi onDhanur. Here, Guru would Dristhi all Namanakshatras falling under that Rasi, their respective Tithis, Swara andNakshatras. Dristhi of a Graha enjoying own Navamsa but having thDristhi strength is treated on par with Dristhiof a Graha enjoying 100% (full) Dristhi strength.

Example: Guru in Mithuna with Navamsa in own Bhava. Guru Dristhi on Kanya is only but inthis special case, fullDristhi strength is allowed because Guru is enjoying own Navamsa.

For these purposes, Dristhis and Jutis have to be reckoned strictly on a mathematical basisallowing an orb of just 1only. Where slow moving Grahas are involved, even this may have to be further reduced.

When is an Dristhi effective? When Dristhi arises in Rasi Chakra and the same Dristhi is also available on one of theconstituents of Panchka in SBC. If it is a Subha, and since that Dristhi is assumed to be falling on 1 Panchka only, thestrength thereof is assessed at 5/20; if that were to be a Papa Dristhi, its strength is only 4/20based on the followingtable:

Method of determining price variations

For determining price variations in a particular commodity / merchandise / mineral etc., note the ruling price on 1 st

day of the year / month / week etc. according to requirements. Erect Rasi Chakra and study the same according togeneral astrological rules. Simultaneously, erect a Sarvatobhadra Chakra and study it minutely; at every stage, bear inmind mathematical accuracy and consider Dristhis / Jutis as applicable to Sarvatobhadra Chakra (and not generalastrology) and see that they are within 1 of application.


27/43

Locate Nakshatra influencing a commodity; and also Grahas controlling that particular commodity and note therelevant Dristhis. Divide the ruling price by 20 and treat each 1/20thpart as a unit. The price variation, which is goingto be determined, will be in terms of these units, up or down by one, two or more.

Appendix C illustrates the method of working.

There is another ancient method of predicting price variations in commodities, which

has the sanction of ancient Sages. Observe Chandr on 2nd

Tithi (Dwiteeya; the firstoccasion when Chandr can be observed immediately after a New Chandr); make anote of the two horns of Chandr - whether each horn is up or down. Chandr on thisday very much looks like the horns of a ram. Compare this curve with the one thatprevailed on Dwiteeya following previous New Chandr. Of course, this processneeds to be carried out every lunar month or at least 2 observations to compare.

If any one of the horns is comparatively up or down when compared, some price variation is bound to occur. Theprice of commodities ruled by Panchka that are affected by Chandr will go up or down. Fall in prices will occur whenChandr is Subha in the general astrological sense. See classification of Grahas - bottom half.

And the commodities are those ruled by Nakshatras, as Chandr goes on transiting over each of them.

If on Dwiteeya a fall is indicated when Chandr is Papa (due to weak rays or Paksha Bala) and traverses overNakshatras (ruling a particular commodity), the commodities concerned will record a fall.

Left horn, if higher than the one on previous Dwiteeya, indicates that the prices will go down.

Right horn, if higher than the one on previous Dwiteeya, indicates rise in prices.

Political astrology

Effects of 8 Graha combination in 1962

Varaha Mihira, based on his famous Koorma Chakra (which is exhaustively dealt with in his classic Brihat Samhita)has divided India into 9 sections allotting 1 section to each triad of Nakshatras commencing from Kartik. Importantplanetary phenomena like Ashta Graha Koota (convergence of 8 Grahas in one Rasi), scheduled to occur in early Feb1962 can be studied and the areas, where the evil effects will befall, located. See Koorma Chakra.

A number of Pandits professing intimate knowledge of Hindu Shastra have been proclaiming that 8 Graha Koota ofthe size and magnitude which occurred thousands of years ago during Maha Bharata war is going to recur in 1962only and that Koota of 1962 would result in World War and major catastrophes. The answer to such critics is thatthere never was an Ashta Graha Koota during Maha Bharata war. A look at Chakra drawn for that period shows that

there was only a combination of 6 Grahas in Meena and that Guru, Mangal and Ketu were far away from the congressof Grahas. Even Nakshatras affected then, Kurukshetra the place where the battle raged, could be justified based onthe division of country through Koorma Chakra.

Sapta Graha Koota (convergence of 7 Grahas) which occurred on 15thJan 1934 in Makara, may be taken as a precedentto assess where the evil effects of the ensuing Koota, much dreaded by many, would most likely befall.

Basic differences between 2 Kootas broadly are:

a. Instead of Ketu, who is already in Makara for the ensuing Koota, there was Rahu in Makara in 1934b. Guru was NOT a member of Koota in 1934 but was throwing his Subha Nakshatra Dristhi (10 th) on Sani andMangal, will now be a member of the forthcoming Koota.

Yet, Sapta Graha Koota of 1934 is believed to have brought about, in its wake, the Bihar earthquake resulting in loss of7252 lives (as per government estimates) besides heavy loss of property. The occurrence of the quake in that part ofIndia is broadly justifiable as per Koorma Chakra, for Bihar is divided between 2 triads of Nakshatras, beginning fromKrittika whereon the direct Vedha Dristhis of 6 Grahas fall besides other Dristhis from Grahas Nakshatra wise. Grahas

that would be involved in the forthcoming Koota (1962) also cast their Vedha / Nakshatra Dristhis in much the sameposition plus Aslesha, thus pointing to Koota effects falling again in Bihar, Assam and Bengal.

There is a precedent also for Ashta Graha Koota of 1962, which we propose as a yardstick to measure the evil effects ofthe same. That precedent is none other than Ashta Graha Koota that occurred in Oct 1186 AD, in Rasi of Kanya.Similarities between 1186 and 1962 Kootas are:

a. The same 8 Grahas that are to assemble in Makara in 1962, assembled in Kanya in 1186b. There was a solar Eclipse in 1186 similar to the one scheduled for 5thFeb 1962c. Both Rasis - Kanya and Makara - govern Indiad. Kala Sarpa Yoga is common to both.

Using Prof. BV Raman's Ayanamsa, the planetary combination of 1934 was only a Juti of 6 Grahas in one Rasi, Sukr,Guru and Rahu being outside, whilst in 1962, Guru and Sukr are closely involved in Koota, in much the same way asit happened in 1186. One of the greatly respected Sages in the field of astrology, Sage Sukracharya, has stated thatGuru, on its own, has the capacity to nullify / counteract all Papa effects in a horoscope and that the combinedpower of both Guru and Sukr, when in conjunction, is beyond imagination. This is a very important differencebetween 1934 Koota on one hand and 1186 and 1962 Kootas on the other. 4 Subhas - Guru, Sukr, Budh and Chandr -will be literally huddled together within about 3 a few minutes after the eclipse. In spite of Graha Yuddha and

combustion, this conjunction of 4 benefics within Koota does strengthen the hands of Guru to swallow the evils ofother Grahas.

What happened in India after the last 8 Graha combination in 1186? There were no newspapers then; historians werenot recording events as we do nowadays. Yet a reference to Indian history pertaining to that period shows that a yearlater or a bit earlier, Muhammad of Ghor (also known Muhammad Ghori) founded his empire and his flag startedflying over Indian soil. Gujrat, Multan, Uch, Lahore, Ajmer, Delhi, Kannauj were successfully conquered and broughtunder his rule between 1186 - 1202. Conversions on a mass scale went on merrily.

What does 1962 Koota indicate for Delhi, based on the precedents and study made using SBC for this Koota? Asexplained in the chart, no change in government is likely consequent to the general elections taking place withinweeks of this Koota. This presages stability and continuance of administration to a great extent. From the chart for this

Koota, it will be noticed that Aslesha is receiving Vedha from 6 Grahas on Dhanishta besides Nakshatra Dristhis ofSani and Mangal, and transit of Rahu over it. This looks like the worst hit Nakshatra. This star is in the direction ofBengal, Orissa and Virat in Koorma Chakra. When the Bihar quake occurred, the very same star received maximumnumber of Nakshatra Dristhis.

In 1186 Koota, Uttara Bhadrapada and Revati bore the brunt of Vedha Dristhis as a result of which some portion ofour motherland went under foreign rule. It looks, therefore, that Grahas this time are warning us that some portion ofour land in North-Eastern direction may be grabbed by foreigners.

Incidentally, Aslesha also happens to be Janma Nakshatra of one of the big five in world politics today, who is alsoour beloved premier, Pandit Nehru. Furthermore, he is running Rahu Maha Dasa, Sani Bhukti, the former in 12 thandthe latter in 2nd, both with Dristhi of Guru. Astrologically, these seem to be the reasons behind the nasty predictions in

circulation about his future. In this connection, it is worth remembering that Sage Sukracharya (in his book 'SukrKerala Rahasya' - Secrets of Kerala astrology) says that whilst there are various ways of finding longevity, the term oflife of a man is wholesale in the hands of God, more so for a man handling the affairs of a nation not for personalgain. In other words, those dedicating their lives for purely public service or humanity, Karma Yogis and Sanyasisenjoy a sort of planetary immunity from the wrath of Grahas. Thus, this is not a case for making predictions based onGrahas only. We would, however, venture to forecast that he may quit or retire from politics for the reasons given inparagraph 2 below the chart for this Koota.

Dhanishta is the next Nakshatra that is worst affected by reason of 6 Grahas occupying that star plus Vedha of Rahu.Next worst hit is Sravana with 2 Papas in occupation plus Vedha of 4 Grahas. These 2 stars point to Gujarat andRajputana surroundings.

Next in the intensity of affliction are Magha and Visakha. The former influences Bengal / Orissa and the latter,Maharashtra.

Based on Koorma Chakra methodology and Nakshatras affected, the provinces on the Chinese coast and South Africacome under adverse influence denoting loss of life.

The next star in the order of afflictionis Rohini with Dristhi of 3 Grahasand very little effects of Koota arefalling on it. At the worst, only 5Nakshatras are seriously affected outof a total of 28. So it appears to be asafe proposition to predict that the

effects of Koota, in general, will beexperienced in just 1/5 of thecountry, varying in intensity and thatborder troubles are indicated in NEcorner and mid-West of India. In1186 Koota, India did not suffer fromearthquakes, Jala Pralaya (incursionof sea into land) etc. barringconsequences of invasion and thereshould be no earthquakes andcatastrophes of that sort.

Even with regard to individuals,those born in Nakshatras Aslesha,Dhanishta, Sravana, Magha, Visakha and Rohini alone stand to suffer bad luck. Ill health, adverse / untowardhappenings, in the order of priority given, these being conditioned and limited by their current Maha Dasa andBhukti. Those born on other Nakshatras have nothing to bother about. The severe afflictions of the stars referred toabove is likely to make rice, wheat, gold and silver, to some extent, dearer.

The above is not Varsha Phala or Gochara Phala but is merely a study covering Ashta Graha Koota only. MotherEarthhas been surviving an Ashta Graha Koota once every thousand years. This Koota of 1962 is at the worst, thirdone, after Lord Jesus Christ.

Koorma Chakra

Broadly, the arrangement is as follows:The central regions falling under Krittika, Rohini and Mrigasira is treated as the centre and the surroundings of thiscentre have been equally divided into 8 directions.In the chart, the first 2 letters of each Nakshatra have been used on the lines of SBC.

Maha Bharata Yuddha

Even the planetary positions areNOT accepted by all and the dateof the battle varies by almost a

thousand years according to thosetaking the planetary positionsfrom other sources. However, theobject of producing this chart is toestablish the fact that there wasno 8 Graha combination at leastaccording to one good authorityand that the spot where the battleraged, Kurukshetra, is justifiedby the occupation of 6 Grahas inMeena corresponding to Yamunavalley. Almost half the number of

Nakshatras stand affected in theabove chart; not so in AshtaGraha Koota chart for 5th Feb1962.

For instance, Mangal has Dristhis to 7th, 8th, 10thand 15thNakshatra from the one it occupies - such Dristhis are shownwith glyphs.

Some suggest that Pushya is the ruling star for India.

It will be seen that this Nakshatra is NOT affected in any way. Rasi governing Pushya is also NOT affected. But theconsonant for Delhi is affected from both sides. Whilst the Congress Party government is assured of continuance foranother term, since Nagar (item 11 under sensitive points) is affected, some changes in top officials / ministers is quitelikely.

Almost the same Nakshatras that were affected in 7 Graha combination stand affected in this chart as well. Worstaffected Nakshatras in order are Dhanishta, Sravana, Aslesha, Magha, Visakha and perhaps Rohini in a slightmeasure.
