Article by Ankush Singh

Jyotish Kalpadruma is a treatise written by Shri Maharaja Shambhu Singh Ji. He is also the author of book “Gyan Pradeep”. This book became very famous which compelled him to write another book on jyotisha which contains Prashna Sastra and Phalit Shastra both. Jyotish Kalpadruma was published in 1980 from Shri Venkateshwar Press of Mumbai. In this book “Jyotish Kalpadruma” he has translated a rare astrological treasure trove called “Jinendramala” as part of first chapter and has added his own knowledge of astrological principles in other different chapter named “Swa Anubhut Jyotish” means “astrological principles found working in self experiences”. He has devoted last chapter as “Siddhant Prakaranam” which discusses different basis of astrology and astronomy. Along with the astrological principles he has given a number of horoscopes of people who were very famous at that time for illustration purpose.

This book contains some very well known astrological principles but some are very different from others. He has emphasised to see the results from the “Karakat Bhavam” principle also for obtaining more accuracy. He has also stressed to make the prasna chart while making prediction using the birth chart of native so that each and every minute detail of the different incidents can be foretold with full precision. Some claim this style of looking at prashna cum natal chart is a new or parampara technique but you can see that author Maharaja Shambhu Singh has stressed on it.

In this article I have tried my best to find out some principles which are found in native horoscope and they work as ready reckoner. The writer has discussed Prasna related astrological principles in more details which will be discussed in incoming issues of this magazine.

Consideration Of Bhava:

SHLOKA ———– Page 109

Here author emphasizes that for seeing the results related with father, mother, co-borns, spouse and others we should check the corresponding bhava from the corresponding karaka. These rules can be found in nadi grantha. Author perhaps believes that mixing nadi rules with Parasara produces more accuracy in prediction.

Sun is the significator of father hence 10^th house from sun should be considered as the house of father.
In the same way 4^th house from Moon is the house of mother.
3^rd house from Mars is for coborns.
5^th from Jupiter is considered for children.
7^th from Venus is considered for spouse.
Mercury is the karaka for maternal uncle so 6^th house from mercury is considered for maternal uncle.
Death should be seen from the 8^th house from Saturn as it is the karaka for death.

Maturity age for different planets

SHLOKA Page 110

Different planets get matured at different ages. Their effects can be experienced at that particular age.

Sun gives its result in 22^nd
Moon gives its result in 24^th
The result of mars is felt in 28^th
Mercury gives its result in 26^th or 32^nd
Jupiter’s effect is realised in 16^th or 32^nd
The result of Venus comes in 26^th
36^th year is the year of Saturn.
Rahu and ketu give their effect in 42^nd

All these planets exhibit their benefic and malefic effects at above given years according to their lordship and their placement.

Yoga related with kingdom, wealth and poverty

SHLOKA — Page 112

If the lords of 1st, 4th, 9th, 5th and 10th houses are interconnected at the birth time, the person becomes emperor.
If lord of lagna 4^th house and 10^th house are together the person gets benefit from kingdom.
If lord of lagna, 5^th and 9^th are together and placed in Kendra or Trikona the person gets enormous wealth.
If lord of lagna and 6^th house are placed in 6^th house the native suffers from illness by birth.
If lord of lagna and 12^th house are situated in 12^th house the person becomes poor.
If lord of lagna and 7^th house are placed 6^th or 8^th house the native has short life.
If lord of lagna and 8^th house are situated in 6^th, 8^th or 12^th house then native loses his health and wealth in a short duration of life.
If the lord of lagna and 2^nd house is situated in 5^th house with lord of 5^th house the person gets immense wealth from kingdom.
In the same way if lord of lagna and 2^nd house are situated in 9^th house with the lord of 9^th house the person is very wealthy and his richness increases day by day.
If the lord of lagna and 11^th house are together in Kendra or Trikona the wealth increases due to business.

If all these yoga happens in Kendra or Trikona the full benefic results are obtained and if it happens in 6^th, 8^th or 12^th house both benefic and malefic results are felt by the native during his lifetime depending upon the ongoing dasa. The writer has emphasized that if the bhava lord is associated with the yoga formed in that particular yoga the yoga becomes very effective. It can be understood as if lord of lagna and 5^th house are placed in 9^th house it forms very good dhana yoga (wealth giving combination) but if at the same time lord of 9^th house is also placed in the 9^th house the yoga becomes very effective and blesses the native with immense wealth and a first order of Rajyoga.

In the same way if lord of lagna and lord of 6^th house are placed together the native has weak constitution but if both are placed in 6^th house itself the effect of this yoga increases and native becomes born sick. His resistance power is very less so he succumbs to environmental hazards very easily.

Yoga For Blindness

If lord of 2^nd and 12^th are together and also they are connected with Sun or Moon it can cause blindness depending upon the malefic influence.
If Moon is in Cancer lagna and aspected by Mars and Saturn the native becomes blind.
If Sun is in Leo lagna and aspected by Mars and Saturn the person becomes blind.
If Sun is in 2nd house and aspected by Mars and Saturn or Moon is in 12^th house aspected by Mars and Saturn the person becomes blind from left eye.
If Sun is in 12^th house aspected by Mars and Saturn or Moon is in 2^nd house aspected by Mars and Saturn then the person becomes blind from right eye.

Sun and Moon are the luminaries so their affliction along with the 2^nd or 12^th lord which are the eyes of Kalapurusha chart causes blindness. The degree of blindness depends on the degree of affliction.

Yoga for Infidelity

The author has given some very important yoga which are very useful to judge the character of the native.

If lord of lagna is in lagna or 7^th house, lord of 7^th house is in Kendra in the sign of Venus and Saturn and at the same time benefic planet is in the 4^th house this yoga constitutes first order of infidelity.
If lord of 7^th house is with Rahu and Saturn and aspected by Mars the person has physical relationship with many women.
Moon in 8^th house also signifies infidelity.
If lord of 7^th house is situated with Venus, Mercury and Ketu in 7^th house itself and aspected by lord of lagna. The person has at least two wives. If at the same time any planet is situated in 8^th house, it becomes yoga of high order infidelity.
If lord of 7^th house is aspected with Moon, Saturn and lord of lagna, this also makes a person characterless.
If Gemini sign occupies 7^th house and any planet who is inimical to this sign is placed here the native’s character becomes questionable.
If Sun and Mercury are posited in 7^th house in inimical sign the person becomes characterless.

Yoga for Childlessness

If Venus is situated in 5^th house in the Aries or Scorpio alone or in any house in these signs, the person’s vitality is very less.
If in female chart Mars is in Taurus or Libra the native has good fertility. But if this yoga is present in male chart, the native’s wife is not fertile. If in the same chart both yoga are present both husband and wife has very less fertility that is why they become issueless.

Yoga Related With Longevity

If lord of lagna, 8^th house, 10^th house and Saturn all are situated in movable sign the person has very long life.
If among lord of lagna and lord of 8^th house any one is situated in fixed rasi, this also gives long life.
If among lord of lagna and 8^th house any one is in movable and one is in dual sign the native has short life.
If among lord’s of lagna and 8^th house one is in fixed rasi and other is in dual sign the native has medium life span.

Yoga Related With Diseases

If Mercury, Jupiter and lord of 2^nd house are situated in 6^th, 8^th or 12^th house the native is speechless.
If Sun and Mars both are situated in Aries, Scorpio or Leo the person suffers from the diseases of piles.
If Mars is situated in Capricorn sign, the native suffers from dysentery in his 28^th year of age.
If Sun, Mars, Saturn all are situated in 6^th house or aspecting 6^th house the native suffers blood related diseases. But this yoga is good for achieving success over opponents or enemies.
If 7^th house has the sign Aries, Scorpio, Leo or Capricorn and Sun, Saturn are situated in this house or both aspect this house the native suffers from urinal related problems. In most of the cases the native dies of this disease only.
If Sun and Mars are situated in 2^nd house the person suffers from teeth problems.
Mercury is the karaka of Skin. So if mercury is situated in 6^th or 8^th house in close proximity with Sun, skin disease is caused.

Different Opinion On Gochara

Shloka — Page 116-117

If Jupiter transits from 1^st, 3^rd, 4^th, 6^th, 8^th , 10^th or 12^th house the native travels abroad. He faces enmity from his friends in that year. Such transit are not considered as good.
When Jupiter transits from 2^nd, 5^th, 7^th, 9^th and 11^th houses the native gets all his ambitions fulfilled. He is benefited from all worldly desires in that year and leads happy life.
When Sun, Mars, Saturn or Rahu transit from 1^st, 2^nd, 4^th, 5^th, 7^th, 8^th, 9^th and 12^th houses they destroy wealth. They also affect the health of the native in that year.

As a whole benefic planets transiting from 2^nd, 5^th, 7^th, 9^th and 11^th houses give good results and malefic planets produce good results when they transit from 3^rd, 6^th and 11^th houses. Mercury and Venus provide very good results when they transit from the 8^th house from the moon.
