Yogas – The Marvels of Hindu Astrology

Present work is written with an intent to enlighten the readers with the peculiar part of Hindu Astrology known as Yogas. It is difficult to find an English equivalent of the word Yoga rather in broader terms. We can say that it is relevant to a particular or specific combination related with a particular aspect of human life he it fortune or misfortune. In other words a Yoga can add vitality to a horoscope by improving certain life aspects of its possessor or can devitalize an individual in a particular area of his life whose birth horoscope is under scrutiny.

Astrology is as old as Vedas are, therefore Astrology holds the place of pride in Hindu Vedic literature. Mythological stories available in Puranas unfold the secrets of planets, stars (Nakshatras) and signs. In Hari Vansha Purana the Moon is said to be having 28 wives, which are her lunar mansions i.e. Nakashatras, the root concept of Vimsottari Dasa system of prognostication. These mythological stories are mentioned in an interesting manner and leave a lasting impression on the reader. In ancient times Astrology was studied for one’s Karmic realities of that particular incarnation and to know one’s limitations of that particular birth. The Yogas give an impetus to a particular area of life to which an individual is found in a Karmic sense or manner.

In this book we start from Pancha Mahapurusha Yogas i.e. the qualities or significations of particularly five planets Mars, Jupiter. Venus and Saturn. Whenever any one or more of these five qualities are available in the birth chart of an-individual then the native is destined for these qualities. Next we move on to Adhi Yoga, Sunapha, Annapha and Durudhura and then to Vesi. Vasi and Ubhayachari Yogas which have their manifestation through the two Luminaries as these are the two eyes of our solar system. Then comes Gajakesari Yoga which is based on the hopefulness and vitality of the individual for sustenance and it is associated with the Moon (the mentality and emotions). Amala Yaga has much to do with material attainments of an individual. Then come the Yogas which have attainments of an individual. Then come the Yogas which have their base in the lordships of benefic houses and the relations of various benefic house-lords bestow kingly comforts on to the native. Then in sequence out the life of an individual.

Lastly appear the Yogas related to the twelve houses of a horoscope. These include the Rajayogas of Varaha Mihira under the 10th house Yogas. We have taken Arishta Yoga under the 6th, 8th and 12th house Yogas. However the Yogas such as Netra Nasha and Andha Yogas appear under the 2nd house Yoags. At least 25 Yogas indicating various diseases have been included under the 6th house.

We have exclusively discussed the Yoga under comments on it, providing the relevant information and additional Yogas quoting the authorities. We suppose this will impress the reader with the importance of the Yoga. We have included particularly those Yogas for which we could supplement the example charts and the Yogas which have convinced us with their configurations of planets like the Rajayogas of Varaha Mihira. We have also tried to append the additional information from Western Astrology regarding a particular Yoga keeping the sanctity and sense of the Yoga unaffected.

We suppose this endeavour will open new avenues for research minded students of this devine science of Astrology. Beginners will find it an interesting study for maintaining their interest. We expect that readers will appreciate and acknowledge this endeavour as they have done for other publications from M/s Ranjan Publications.
