The Raja Yogas
There is no question that our ancient seers were geniuses. They've also seen a lot of things that have only recently been uncovered. As we know, their intelligence is still enormous, so we can plainly conclude that when they claim it's a Raja Yoga, they are referring to yoga that is extremely powerful in bestowing excellent position, riches, and prestige to the person, much like rulers had in their period.
There are two sorts of astrologers these days: those who feel that yogas such as Raja Yoga do not work and those who believe that they do but that their meanings have changed according to the Sthan, Kaal, and Patra rule of Vedic Astrology. Raja yoga does work and we simply need to assess them correctly.
We must delve into the significance of terms in astrology. If we look at the notion of a monarch in older times, we will discover that a ruler was someone who had authority over an army and had all types of enjoyment.
Consider that this approach should only be utilised in Raja Yoga and not in Dhanyoga since while the 11th house in Dhanyoga is regarded as an advantageous house, the 11th house in Raja Yoga is considered a malefic house. We may use the same chart to make modifications, for example, while assessing Dhanyoga, we can make the 11th house benefic, and so on.
If Raja Yoga is thus auspicious and beneficial, it is almost certain that it is the consequence of good acts performed in previous incarnations. So, in previous incarnations, did everyone do nice deeds?
Yes, everyone does something nice, but is it good enough to produce a powerful Raja Yoga?
We can see Raja Yoga in almost every chart, but why isn't it functioning everywhere?
Falit Vikas by Pandit Ramyatna Ojha
Many prominent Sanskrit scholars have provided numerous techniques for evaluating the results of any Raja Yoga based on the ideas of Parashara's astrological expositions. Scholars are presented with Pt. Ramyatna Ojha's "Phalit Vikas." Pt. Ojha Ji, a distinguished astrology scholar, was the first editor of the World Panchang to be published by Banaras Hindu University. The examination of his writings reveals that he had his own ability to think about astrology.
The writer of the book Falit Vikas says:
Pt. Jagannath Tripathi, a former Banaras Hindu University Ved professor, contacted me one day and said, "Today I received a bundle of Panchangs that were flowing while having a dip in the Ganges." I'd want to offer you these soaked texts since they will be useful to you. I carried home a bundle of Panchangs as his blessings and dried it in the sun after it had been bathed in water. The book "Falit Vikas," in which Shri Ramyatna Ojha's name, was also included in this bundle. I was overjoyed and resolved to have this book published. Meanwhile, I met the publisher of Chaukhamba Surbharti, who consented to print Guruvar's book after hearing its title. I edited the book by writing the damaged sections in that book and preserving Ojha ji's way of thinking.
The author further says:
Being the editor of Suryasiddhantiya Vishwapanchang, I had special faith in his experience. Although nowadays there are many differences in the Panchangs and differences of opinion are going on, but Ojhaji's tradition and his experience hold a special significance. Ojhaji had also lived in the company of Mahamana Pt. Madan Mohan Malaviya Ji and his great grace were on him. Mahamana Ji was very pleased with the profound erudition of his astrology, such is the statement of the gurus.
In this book, he expresses his thoughts and ideas on all aspects of creating a horoscope. This book also includes instructions for creating traditional horoscopes for almost all of India's regions. As a result, if graduate astrologers travel from Kashi to any other state, the assertion should be valid. Aside from that, there is a collection of horoscopes of some famous persons. I believe that many events in their life must have occurred as predicted by Ojha ji's astrology. On this premise, the author, Shri Ojha Ji, has included the letters of those individuals in this book.
Aside from that, the author has presented the notion of Kundali making, prediction, Melapak, Ayurvichar, Dashvarga, Parijatadi Sangya, Rekhastak, Planetary force, Bhavabal, and Arishta based on his experience, which is extremely beneficial for today's students.
After extensively researching these factors, Shri Ojha Ji, an expert astrologer, has shared his knowledge in this book. He asserts firmly in this book that the planets formed by Surya Siddhanta have been discovered to be more suited in the fruit declaration. Based on this, I feel that only the clear Surya Siddhant should be able to create planets. Gross literature like "Grahlaghava," "Brahmapaksha," and "Makaranda" should not be used to construct planetary alignments.
This approach was discovered while reading Pandit Ramyatna Ojha's "Falit Vikas." This technique is also described in "Triphala" (Jyotish) by "Pandit Gopesh Kumar Ojha" in his book "Sushlokshatak."
Some Important Factors
If there is a relation between the Kendra and Trikona Lords then they give auspicious results. If these lords do not make any connection with the Trishaday lords then results are sometimes beneficial and sometimes not.
- In relation to the ascendant and the fifth lord, if both the third and the sixth lord have a relationship or if the eleventh lord does the same, then there is no luck yoga.
- In relation to the fourth fifth house, if both the third house and the eleventh house or the sixth and the eleventh lord are related, then there is no luck.
- With respect to the seventh house, if both the sixth house and the eleventh house are related, then there is no luck yoga.
- In relation to the tenth lord and the fifth lord, if the third, sixth, and eleventh lord together make a relation, then there is no luck.
- In relation to the ascendant and the ninth lord, if both the sixth and the eleventh lord are related, then there is no luck.
- In relation to the fourth and ninth house, if the third house, sixth and eleventh house are related together, then there is no luck.
- In relation to the seventh, ninth, third, sixth, and eleventh lord, Gunabhagya yoga remains.
- In relation to the tenth and the ninth, even if there is a relation to Trishadayadheesh, two qualities remain auspicious.
There is a location relation if the two planets in which the connection is to be seen are in mutual signs, such as if the Sun and Mars are to witness the relationship, then the Sun in Aries and Mars in Leo, and if one is in the sign of one and aspects the other, it is known as "Sadharmya connection."
- If there is a relation of Sun in the ascendant, then he should be doing royal work.
- If the full moon is related to Venus, then he is an enjoyer and a scholar.
- If there is a yoga of Mars, then he should know metallurgy and make a living by fire.
- The yoga of Mercury should be of Sutras and business.
- If there is a relation to Jupiter, then be a scholar and knowledgeable.
- If there is a yoga of Venus, then you should be appointed in royal work and have a long life.
- If there is Saturn, then make a living by famous deeds.
- If there is Rahu then iron.
- If Ketu is there, then be a good businessman.
Points given to Houses
These are the points assigned to houses; keep them in mind for future reference.
- 1st house +1 point,
- 4th house +2 point,
- 7th house +3 point,
- 10th house +4 point,
- 5th house +2 point,
- 9th house +4 point,
- 3rd house -1 point,
- 6th house -2 point,
- 11th house -3 point,
- 8th house -6 point, and
- 2nd and 12th house -0 point.
These calculations are entirely consistent with fundamental Parashari principles as articulated by Sage Parashara in his BPHS (Brihat Parashara Hora Sastra) and as developed in Uddadayapradeep also known as Laghu Parashari.
As a result, it is apparent that the Lord of the Ascendant is usually auspicious and if the Ascendant Lord also becomes the owner of the 8th house it doesn't become inauspicious.
Results of Houses
The 2nd and 12th House: Laghu Parashari states that the 2nd and 12th houses are neither auspicious nor inauspicious. The location of their second Rashi will determine whether they are benefic or malefic, and their outcomes will be influenced by the planets with whom they are in conjunction; otherwise, they are neutral, and they both will be "Marak."
Trines: The lords of the trine are usually beneficial (5th and 9th lord). However, if the trine lords are also 8th lords, they will become defective and have certain faults (some maleficence will be inside the planet). However, if the trine lord is also the 8th lord and is located in the 5th house, he will not be malevolent. It will stay benefic if the trine lord is the 12th lord. If the trine lord is the second lord, he will become “Marak,” but the capacity to bestow luck will remain on the planet. If the trine lord also becomes the lord of a quadrant house, he will be known as the most beneficent "Raja Yoga Karaka."
Quadrant: If natural benefics are lords of quadrants, they will not remain benefic, and if natural malefics are lords of quadrants, they will not remain malefic (meaning they will become neutral), and their result must be decided based on the placement of their other sign, 7th lord will always be “Marak,” there is no doubt about it, and in order Jupiter, as 7th lord will be the most powerful “Marak,” followed by Venus.
The 8th house: The sun and moon do not have the negative effects of being the lord of the 8th house if they are positioned there, but if they are positioned elsewhere, they will have the negative effects of being the 8th lord.
The 3rd, 6th and 11th house: The third, sixth, and eleventh lords are all malevolent. If the third, sixth, and eleventh lords are also quadrant lords, they will be malefic, but if they are benefic, they will be benefic. If the 3rd Lord is in the 3rd, the 6th Lord is in the 6th, and the 11th Lord is in the 11th, they will be benefic regardless of whether they are neutral, benefic, or malefic.
Example
Assume your horoscope has a cancer ascendant with Mercury, Mars, and Jupiter conjunct.
- Mercury 3rd lord = -1
- Mercury 12th lord = -0
- Mars 5th lord = +2
- Mars 10th lord = +4
- Jupiter 6th lord = -2
- Jupiter 9th lord = +4
We obtain +7 as a consequence of adding all of these together, therefore we can conclude that this yoga results in +7 beneficial points. As a consequence, this yoga is beneficial, and the planets participating in it will provide positive outcomes in their MD-AD-PD combos.
Final Words
This is a method offered by “Pandit Ramyatna Ojha” in his book “Falit Vikas.” This rule appears to be so good, and it is, and it can be utilised in so many ways. For example, it can give us a hint as to whether yoga is malefic or benefic, or if a planet is benevolent or malefic.
As an example, in Virgo, Saturn will be the 5th and 6th lord, with +2 and -2, respectively, and his effect will be determined based on his house placement, Rashi placement, D9 placement, and nakshatra placement, whereas in Gemini, Saturn will be the 8th and 9th lord, with -6 and +4, respectively, implying that he will contain -2 more maleficence inside him.
However, as all prominent astrologers agree, depending on this approach too extensively is also not recommended. As we know, this chart just depicts their malefic and benefic natures based on their house lordship, but in yoga, their Rashi, D9, nakshatra placement, and other aspects all play a role, and we must examine all of them before making any decisions.
