Laghu Parashari Sidhant : Unique Book of Hindu Dasa System [SP]

Laghu Parashari Sidhant

Vimshottri Dasa system is an acknowledged Peddhati of Hindu Predictive Astrology. Laghu Parashari is only a scientific and most rational explanation of how, why, and when the dasa of a Planet will be effective or ineffective, benefic, malefic or mixed according to this system. It has been very curtly explained in 42 Shlokas (expect the traditional explanations and principles for which the author himself has sought his apology in shloka 4)

The samjna adhyaya gives principles and conditions by which the reader can learn about such Planets as become benefic, malefic or marakas. He has also given here the other sign position of each and every Planet that makes him benefic, malefic or maraka. When the Maha Dasa and Antar Dasa is to be read in a chart find out: (1) which are the benefic and malefic Planets; (2) then calculate the sambandh of the planets which make saphal (effective) and nishphal (ineffective) Rajayogas with the help of the Karaka Adhyaya and also find out the planes which make Rajayoga Sambandh; (3) the Ayurdayadhyaya gives the principles to spot the marakas.

Thus after finding out the benefics, Karakas and Marakas concider the Ruling periods (Maha Dasa) and sub-periods (Antar Dasa) of the planets. These Sholakas do not deal with anything else than these three issues. In short, these principles of the Dasa System deal with Rajayogas and marakas only. This study of the benefics, Yoga Karakas and Marakas given birth to six other principles. The first of these is regarding the Lord of the Maha Dasa who cannot give benefic-malefic (shubhashubh) effects during his own ruling period and Antar, supra shloka 29. Shloka 30 and 31 apply to the Maha Dasa (ruling periods) of the Benefics.

It is also supported in shloka 37, 38 and 39. The principles involved in Shloka 29, 30 and 31 also apply to the special principles given in shloka 35 to 40. Shloka 30 points out (1) to the sambandh formed between the Lord of Maha Dasa and that of Antar Dasa, (2) further they should be Saman Dhami (of similar disposition). Under these conditions the effects of the Lord of Maha Dasa itself will be seen in the Antar of the Lord who are having sambandh or are of Like Disposition.

To arrive at the period/time of effects of Lord of Maha Dasa, Antar (sub-period) Ve-Dasa (sub-sub-period) and Sookshma or Pran Dasa (sub-sub-sub period) the following method of Computation is adopted. For this convenience the reader is advised to look up Lahri’s Ephemeries for the Balance of Vimshottari Dasa by longitude of Moon and Periods, Sub-Periods and Inter Periods of planets.
