ASTROLOGICAL CALCULATIONS OF UDU DASAS

Being an amateur in ASTROLOGY, I do not know myself whether I am competent to write this article. However, Sage Parasara himself has said that UDU DASA OR VIMSHOTTARI DASA is based on approximation taking PARAMAYUS as 120 years in Kaliyuga. Whie teaching MAITHREYA a great Brahmin, he said

“ विंशोत्तरशतं पूर्णमायुः पूर्वमुदाह्र्तं l

कलौ विंशॊत्तरि तस्माद् दशा मुख्या द्विजॊत्तमा l “ Bruhat ParASara hOrA SAstra

I have a doubt, If this is so can we rely on this Dasa System ?. I think we have to check some other Dasa System like KALACHAKRA DASA which are more reliable.. For this , we require the exact time of birth. The Time of birth as I feel is the time when the SHIRAS appears since all the rays of planets fall first on the SHIRAS. This point also requires clarification as most of the astrologers are of the opinion that the time of birth is the time when the child first touches the ground. Friends, generally, the astrologers while checking for .DASAA SANDHI DOSHAM, while matching horoscopes, only see VIMSHOTHTHARI DASA. Secondly, when this is based on approximation , I feel we must not take UDU DASAS as ultimate in our life. At the most we may take it as a guideline.. In other words our astrological system itself is based on assumptions and hence we may take the prophesies of astrologers as guide lines.

Long back , I saw an article on the Subject of DASA SANDHI in THE HINDU that it is not at all to be checked or words to that effect.

I request all ASTROLOGERS to comment on my humble opinion with proper arguments.

ABOUT KALASARPA YOGA

My friend Sri. P.S, Krishnan had written some times back about KALA SARPA YOGA and its dreadful effects. While I do not like to dispute with him on this subject, I would like to add that in the authoritative texts like PHALADEEPIKA, BRUHAT JATAKA etc. I do not find such a YOGA described. Even the great Parasara Maharshi has not said a single word about this Yoga. However an authority on this subject Late Sri. Bangalore Venkat Raman has given in his THREE HUNDRED IMPORTANT COMBINATIONS as APPENDIX I about this yoga. After going through it also, I do not find it as a most threatening YOGA., At the most , I can agree that , If all the planets are positioned in between RAGHU AND KETHU or vice –versa as the new generation of astrologers feel constitute “KALASARPA YOGA” . Now, in Late B.V. Raman’s own words I shall write “ ….The Evil gets intensified if the LAGNA is in between KETHU AND RAHU “; (2) the evil gets almost neutralized if the LAGNA is in between RAHU and KETHU……” . Again he said “ No single YOGA , including KSY ( Kala Sarpa Yoga) , is capable of marring or making a horoscope. In our view KALASARPA YOGA plays an important role in mundane astrology and is not of much importance in individual charts “ If such a bad effect is there for KALASARPA YOGA , I do not think our ancestors who are responsible to make this subject would have missed this in their texts. I request one and all to go through the book “THREE HUNDRED IMPORTANT COMBINATIONS” by Late Sri. B.V.RAMAN.

If some one feels that he/she is really suffering from the effects of KALA SARPA YOGA, in spite of my above write up , kindly visit the Temple at KALAHASTHI without going to any other place or temple while making your trip to KALAHASTHI ( i.e ) go directly to the temple without visiting any other temple, and perform a special Pooja and also pray daily to GODDESS DURGA and LORDVIGNESHWARA .
