PREFACE Mother nature has presented our beautiful planet earth with numberless living species, these different species have different shapes and size, nature, livelihood, Animals, insects, birds, aquatics and so on, of them human species are the most powerful of them all because mother nature has bestowed them with the third eye, which other species have been deprived off. Other living things see the objects, as they are but human beings possessed with the third eye which is other way is intuition can see an object with a new vision. But this vision also varies from person to person. All men visualize the same object but not equally with the same perspective. One cannot understand the same object equally. Hence lies the novelty of life which is a dome of myriad colored glass. Different levels of intelligence discerns different outcome of thoughts and ideas. So the great things or deeds in the world is not but static, but revolves through accordingly as the situation demands. Through researches and development into different fields of movements and through the actions and interactions between the thoughts, ideas, facts will help the inhabitants of modern earth to the radiant way to prosperity. From the advent of civilization, man has made numerous attempts to unravel the mystery of life. Seer, saints and savants have discovered the truth that different planets and stars through their various cosmic rays and electro magnetic waves steers the past present and future of human being, may be also others species on earth. The mystery of birth and death depends as how these planets influence by showering varied cosmic rays in various ways on different living being. Herein ushers the study of astrology. Vedic astrology is very ancient, but from then on till the present era vedic astrology has taken firm foothold. It has become very popular everywhere on this globe by 2000 AD, but unfortunately we do not have many authentic text books in English for mastering this art. Most of the literature

the all astrologers of the world without paying much attention to other dasa. A good astrologer should learn 3-4 dasas fa* the forecast (KCD, Chakra Dasa, Yogini Dasa and Vimsottori Dasa). A deep knowledge of fundamentals of Yedic Astrology is needed for this purpose. There are many contradictions in the slokas. All the sages expressed their own views. So it is the duty of the modem astrologers to find out the truth. Very recently a French psychologist - Dr. Michel Gaugulin wanted to condemn or denounce astrology as a science. However in the second thought he felt that this could be done after collecting the requisite data and to find out whether his presumptions and assumptions are correct or otherwise. He collected more than 50,000 horoscopes of the distinguished persons in various fields and analyzed them systematically, and concurrently gathered the data of common men and women. Later on, he found that there is much truth in the science of astrology for understanding ourselves rather by any other method, including psychology. His findings are indeed, superb and based on modern statistics and concrete facts. The paragraph from his book, 'Spheres of Destiny' will help to know his approach in the following words, " It is the institution that the life on earth, and human being themselves, are forever dependant on the forces of the universe. Man as depicted in old teachings is a small universe, a microcosm, modeled after the cosmos, which is microcosm. It is difficult perhaps romantic idea but also implies that between microcosm macrocosm, then perpetual contacts and influence universe cannot but affect the human being more profoundly. The meta galaxy (the part of the universe we know) is containing 10 particles. At the point of gravitational collapse, the stars will not even become a 'blackhole', but will simply dissolve in vacuum form and disappear. The transmission energy of the blackhole get utilized in formation of "worhole" as in the case of a quasar which grows after absorbing energy and finally breaks up into separate stars. Thus in a galaxy of collapsing stars can become a source of energy for new cosmological centre of powerful emissions. "The development of a unified and invariable picture of the world

is the aim that science strives for" - MAX PLANCK. According to Bhagavatgita. dd ^ ci5J I I When one realizes that the state of diversity of living things is rooted to one, that their manifestation is also from that, there one becomes identified with rooted to one, that their manifestation is also from that, there one becomes identified with Brahman (Lord of the endless cycles of rhythmic process of creation and destruction). Thus the evolution and involution occur at one and the same in the system of universe. We can visualize fixed objects due to movement and moving objects from the outward vision i.e. the pair of our outer eyes and their changes of position. There are animals (like frog) having fixed eye and hence not capable to identify fixed objects. A poor frog sitting on the bank of a pond cannot see water unless there are ripples but can identify moving insects as its pray. We are equally helpless in the micro-world to identify electrons of negative energy in the "Dirac Sea" which is full of electrons up to an infinite depth. These electrons co-exist with us for any length of time. They do not interact with each other or with any instrument. But as soon as a gamma photon enters into this sea, electron of positive energy moves out of the sea and is detectable. This does not happen in classical physics as energy moves only continuously but in micro-world it is discrete in which energy and mass continuously change. All elementary particles, without exception, have its oceans and these oceans are superimposed on one another and each is bottomless. We cannot realize micro-world unless our superimposed knowledge is completely reoriented in the memory. Isavasyopanisad supports it as :

5^ 11 The Avidya (gross knowledge) and Vidya (absolute knowledge) are to be understood together. After controlling avidya with the help of vidya one has a chance both to realize the Absolute. Both macro and micro worlds equally

y

submissively obey the imperial and omnipresent laws of conservation of mass and energy which are unable to verify at the instant of interaction lasting for 10 21 seconds or so in the micro-world. When Vidya and Avidya mingles into one and endless, one attains Nirvikalpa Samadhi and through the third eye he/she can see the mysteries of the universe and mingles with the Divine soul, in other words God Almighty himself. Macro/micro, vidya, avidya science and spirituality submerges into oneness sat - chit - anandya. Psychologists and Psychiatrists are able to understand the defects and behaviour of the human being only when certain manifestations are observed and made known to them. A competent astrologer can predict what type of manifestations that may occur and at what stage. This is being done through the planets at the time of birth (i.e. trom horoscope), and their transits in the subsequent period of their life. For this purpose westerners turn to the progressed horoscope whereas Indian astrologers study meticulously Dasa mechanism of various planets. This is the only Indian system which can help to indicate the events on broader lines of life and also longevity. These types of facihties and methods are not available with the scientists, psychiatrists and physicians. They go on presuming certain things by tracing previous history, but they do not understand the cause of the mental diseases. When Moon, Mercury, 4th/5th houses and their lords are afflicted mental melody surfaces out. Moon is the mother of all planets. It's influence on forming he nature of mundane journey was conceived by our sages of yore. Almost all Raja Yogas are counted from Chandra Lagna. The Moon and Sun should always be hemmed between benefics for better results in life. Saturn or Rahu behind Moon energizes. It is well known fact that large movement of water on earth, that is the flow of tides, is caused by the Moon. Human body too, which consists of 70% water, falls within the arch of lunar influence. Periodical cycle of women correspond to the lunar month, the human period of pregnancy is 273 days. Many a mental illness, suicides etc. have been noted to increase during periods of lunar activity. Agriculturists have established that

the Moon has a distinct influence on crops which explains why for centuries people have planted according to the movement of Moon. Migratory birds depart only at or near the full moon, just as certain fish, seals in particulars, move in accordance with certain phase of the moon. Predictive astrology is an immense catalogue of cause and effects of the various positions, combination of the planets and constellations that have been found to influence all aspects of life and civilizations through the ages. The various planets have different roles and generally govern that behaviour in the human too. Planet Behaviour Moon Mind, wealth, mother, education SunSoul, success in life, father Mercury- Communication, lord of intelligence, business skill. VenusDesire, body luster noble character, controls married life of males. Mars Action, controls married life of women, ego. JupiterWisdom, wealth. It is the most benevolentplanet. Its weakness produces sorrows in life. SaturnRenunciation, longevity, Weak Saturn forces the native to behave like an animal. Astrology is a novel process which unearths successfully and accurately the past, present and future of a person invented by the seers of India, thousands of years ago andhavebeen modified by sages till upto Varahamihir era (50AD). The sage Varahamihir composed many slokas in the one of mundane astrology, and it is difficult to find such an astrologer. The astrology deals with the influence of stars and planets on the universe and on human being, animals, and on this earth India has gone through the period of slavery for the last two thousand years, and the astrology lost its past glory. Dr. B.V Raman, the father of modern Indian Astrology, almost single handedly tried his best to recover the lost glory (1912 - 1999). Late R. Santhanam, Bipin Behari, Prof. P.S. Shastry, K.K. Pathak, K.N. Rao, Mridula Trivedi etc other eminent astrologers also contributed significantly for the development of astrology in the late 20 century. From 1985 onwards thousands of educated persons started learning

Q

Astrology and from 1990 AD, this subject got some reorganization in the west. After much hue and cry, the Astrology Was introduced in 2001 in around 14 Indian Universities as a subject to award a degree in graduate and post-graduate level. PhDs are also awarded by them (such as Lai Bahadur Shastri University in Delhi). Many private organizations are teaching astrology in India in 2008. Until or unless a certificate is issued by a western country, nobody gets recognition in India. So whether astrology is a science or not is still a matter of debate. Though many educated persons are learning astrology, Govt. of India has not come forward to recognize this neglected branch of science at par with other branches of science. Still all the politicians are consulting astrologers under the cover of darkness and curtains. Being a scientist the author learnt astrology in a college in Kolkata as a regular student for three years and found the principles of astrology stand on a sound foundation. It provides a comprehensive look at the sorrows and joys, the mysteries, happiness, tragedies and the comedies of life and help one to accept the doctrines of divine life. It can easily identify radiant and gloomy periods of life. There are two extremes - denigration and exaggeration. It is up to the individual to find the levels of reality between the two, astrology can help. Almost all questions in real life can be answered through a horoscope. There are 12 Bhavas.For any prediction one has to first look at the Ascendant lord, 8th lord, 9* lord, Karaka planets of 9th Bhava Jupiter and Sun, and then other Bhavas. When the ascendant lord occupies Kendra and Trikona and is aspected by other natural benefics the native receives wide fame. 8th house is known as the hidden house and therefore rulinghidden urges and instincts (id). Freud a great German psychoanalyst who made significant contribution in mind sciences identified, two instincts in the id - sexual and aggressive. By the sexual he has not only meant the creative urge but also what goes under the generic terms of love and affection in everyday life. By the aggressive, Freud meant hate, hostility and destruction. The mind is the just one part, of the brain which perform these functions of thinking, knowing, feeling, willing etc. Mind is divided into four major

divisions : Super conscious mind (9lh house), unconscious mind (6tb house), sub-conscious mind (8th house) and conscious mind (lsl house) or alert mind. Just opposite to super conscious mind stands lower mind. Much of the work of psychoanalysis is concerned with the sub-conscious mind, because by studying the sub-conscious mind, they are able to get behind the reason's of their patient's behaviour. While the study of the subconscious mind (dream analysis provides vital clues of the sub-conscious mind) is still a relatively new field of research, there are strong indications to suggest that in future, a man's action and behaviours can be detected and improved by having a better knowledge of the subconscious. The author has written two important chapters on 8th house (the 8th to 8* i.e. 3ri house is also a mysterious house) for the benefit of astrological fraternity. In part - Ithe author has described the 8th house in total XVI sections. S* house is known as randhrasthan (means hole or sins). Malefics in 8* house of females provide a disturbed married life. Whereas in case of males it raises his obstacles in the path of earning money. When Moon and Mars are afflicted, malefics in 8* can swindle the native in the crime line. Malefic 8th house can cut short one's mundane journey without any notice. 2nd house stands for our accumulated wealth, 8th house stands opposite to 2nd house. Benefics in the 8th/or2nJ help anybody to earn money easily. The author has found that S1*1 lord in 8'' provides chequered career (does not form Raja Yoga as written in the literature). God controls him through wireless system. Afflicted 8* lord in'8th may bring bankruptcy (example55). Our longevity is also controlled from these two houses. Strong 2^/8^ lords provide long innings of life. 3rd/10th house also have some role on the longevity. The two major instincts, identified by Freud are the sexual (Venus) and the aggressiveness (Mars). Venus is the planet of love and friendship and empathy while Mars rules anger, hate hostility and destruction. Freud was a great thinker and his theory revolving round the id is the basic theory of Hindu Philosophy where raga shown by Venus and dwesha shown by Mars are the sole motivators of all human thought and consequently, of all human activity. These two emotions are also the root of all

relationships and as well as the endless problems they generate. Mars -Venus combination in 7th/or8th/ or 12th makes a person master in the knowledge (theory and practice) of love, romance and all matters related thereto. It gives an aptitude or inclination for more than one relationship with opposite sex. Venus -Rahu in 8th makes the inclination for ruthless in personal quarrels and fights, fond of developing (platonic or other kind of) friendship. Venus - Ketu in 8^ produce diseases in the private parts. Readers will ponder over on the fact that celebrities do not take birth with Mercury alone in the 8th house. This has emanated from the research diary of the author.. Though Saravah has praised Mercury in the 8* house, R. Santhanam disagrees with his views and says that a person born with Mercury in 8th will have many defects. 8* lord plays a crucial role in earning money, longevity, deep research caliber, and for a good happy married life. The author has invented that when the 8^ lord of spouse, occupies Yogavanga houses (2, 3, 6,7,8,11,12) i.e. when the 8th lord is placed in a weak house, he/she dies earlier or causes divorce, or separation etc. Will anybody believe that 8* lord of his/her spouse can decrease his/her life span? It is a severe dosha (blemishes) and this point should be considered at the time of recommendations of marriage. The author has used almost 100 horoscopes from his own research diary for uncovering many mysteries of life. When 8th lord and Saturn are strong even dreaded Kal Sarpa Yoga has little impact in life. When 8Lh lord is afflicted, debilitated, retrograde, is placed in a sworn enemy's camp, terrible financial set backs come in life. Let us scan the following horoscope: It is an example of financial setbacks : DOB 21.2.1958, 7=15 AM, Delhi, Deha = Scorpio, Jeeva - Pisces, Aquarius Lagna, Sun, Mercury; Pisces - Moon 5-6, Aries - Ketu; Cancer - Uranus, Leo - Pluto; Libra - Jupiter(R), Rahu, Neptune, Sagittarius - Saturn, Mars; Capricorn - Venus. Placement of Rahu, Ketu, Saturn, Mars, 6^/8^ lords in Deha Jeeva houses crop up severe set backs in life. Failures and downturns in life are as true as sun rises in the east. When Deha and Jeeva signs are occupied by 6^/8^ lords. Goddess Lakshmi never visits this soul. The native will be beggar when

retrograde 8th lord occupies Deha or Jeeva sign. In the present case both Deha and Jeeva signs are hemmed between inalif ics which indicates ugly trends in life. Placement of 6th lord in Jeeva sign added fuel to the fire. He was bom with 1st cycle of 47 yrs. Leo, Gemini, Taurus, Aries, Pisces went peacefully. Dasa was switched over to Scorpio generating Simhavalokan Gathi in Feb, 2005. This is a lion's violent jump on its prey portray the period's intensity. He is bom in Savya group B 1st quarter. The Gathi or movement is capable of creating danger through weapons, poison, fire etc apart from other many unknown evils. The practical bent in general as such is danger to one's well being. As soon as Scorpio dasa started a tantrik duped him of crores of rupees, leaving him bewildered. In Vimsottori system, he lost huge money during Venus - Rahu dasa. Dasa of two planets in square position brings always financial setbacks (Advanced Predictive Astrology Dr. S. S. Chatterjee Vol. 2). His 8th lord is a combust planet placed in l^agna in direct aspect Mars. So weak 8th lord, weak Saturn, weak Deha and Jeeva signs brought huge financial set backs for him. In January 06 the author found him half-mad, for the massive financial loss. Just as the 2nd house rules over savings, t^e 12 house rules over draining away accumulated wealth. 9 lord Venus is placed in the 12th house and is squared by Rahu-Ketu axis. Saturn is directly aspecting it. So in the main period of 9* lord in the sub-period of Rahu, God snatched away much accumulated wealth. Dasa of any afflicted planet brings set backs in Ijfe. h h Kama Trikona is controlled by 3r -I1 -ll1 houses and Mokshya Trikpna is controlled by 4th -8th -12th houses. Malefics in 4t , 8th, 12lh bring scandals, downfalls, infamy etc. Benefics in 8 increase the prospects of good married life and also makes the ladies sexually principled. Desire to participate ip, qy\\ deeds increases by the placement of malefics in 4 -S1 -12th houses. Now we shall discuss the unhappy married life of a Young man, who is the only son of his parents, DOB 18.5.69, 11-50PM, Delhi. Capricorn Lagna 11-52 Pisces-Rahu, Venus, Aries - Saturn, Taurus Sun, Mercury (R), Gemini - Moon Virgo - Jupiter (R), Ketu, Scorpio - Mars (R). Balance Mars 2yr 11m 18 d.

This young man is the only son ofhis parents and working as a executive level in private company in Delhi in the Sales department. His first marriage lasted between February 1999 - April 1999. In December 2001 he married a widow again, but she also left his house just after one yr. in December 2002. in both the cases divorce took place through court with mutual agreements. Why he is unhappy in married life? Will he get a wife who will produce children in the family? Can any scientist answer these questions? When dual signs, particularly Gemini are heavily afflicted - such natives marry on number of occasions. This aphorism is as true as the Sun rises in the east. His all dual signs are afflicted. Rahu Ketu passes though Pisces-Virgo axis. His Deha Rasi is Capricorn, Jeeva Rasi is Gemini. Jeeva Rasi is occupied by Moon (7th lord), is afflicted by the joint aspects Saturn and mars. 7^ lord in 6th, aspected by Saturn and Mars, squared by Rahu-Ketu axis, did not produce stable marriage. 6/8 relationships of Deha and Jeeva signs, which is highly dangerous and is harmful for health, freedom from litigations and the like. Jeeva sign (Jeeva = Life's force) is * heavily afflicted - so he is destined to suffer mentally thought his life. Debilitated Saturn in the 4th house hemmed between malefics denied him mental pleasures in life. Debilitated and retrograde planet bring some deficiency of the houses wherever they are located. Debilitated Saturn has damaged his fourth house, retrograde Mercury has damaged his 5^ house, retrograde Jupiter has damaged his 9th house, retrograde Mars in 1]t}l has damaged his 11th house. 2nd marriage is controlled from the ll,h house/ 11* lord and Venus. This house is weak, so the 2"^ marriage is also broke down. He is born in Apasavya Group - B 3rd quarter. I5* cycle consists of59.5 yrs. He started his life with Cancer das of 9yrs. 6m Od then Virgo dasa for 9 yrs was imposed on him, generating Mandooka Gathi. Gathis are actually brakes in life. With reference to Apasavya Diagram the family members may have serious health problems and there will be affliction to spouse and to children, victim of violence, change of residence and ill health. His lord of Lagna and 7th lords generated 3/11 relationships, such a

native carries a seed of separation (it is also true in 6th /8th or 2nd/12threlationships of 1st and 7th lords). Afflicted 6th house spoils the 5th (Son), 7th (Wife) 12th (bed pleasures) house indications (Fortune and Finance by Dr. S.S. GfiatterjeeP 89). So he was destined to have problems in married life. Libra dasa ruled him between November 1987 to November 2003. Dasa lord is placed in the 6th house from its natal position and is afflicted by nodal axis. Libra is hemmed between malefics. Such a dasa cannot yield good results for the native. Both the marriages broke down during Libra dasa. Karaka for wife is Venus. 7th house of Venus is occupied by Uranus, Ketu and retrograde Jupiter. Debilitated Saturn occupy the 8th house from Jupiter. So Jupiter is weak. God only writes sad episodes about a person whose Jupiter (significator of happiness wealth, wisdom etc.) is found to be weak in his horoscope. Saturn is also weak, because Mars (R) occupies 8th house from Saturn. Weak Saturn tailors only tragedies in life. First marriage was ruined in Jupiter -Venus dasa, 2nd marriage was ruined in Jupiter - Moon as per Vimsottori dasa. First half of Jupiter dasa behaved well with him. He passed BA, acquired post graduate diploma in marketing and got an excellent job. Moon-Venus-Jupiter in mutual angles have generated the famous Mudrika Yoga, exchange of aspects between 9th lord Mercury and 4^ lord Mars have produced a class - 1 Raja Yoga for him. The lord of Lagan is posted in an angle generating Neechvanga Raja Yoga, lf'h Lord is posited in his own house. So the beautiful a Dhana Yogas and Raja Yogas provided him an excellent career. Exalted Venus, Jupiter in 9lh house provided him higher standard of living. Afflicted 7th Lord, afflicted 6^ house, afflicted Jeeva sign, Pluto in the 8^ house of Janma Lagna, afflicted Gemini (3rd house of Zodiac), afflicted 7th house of Venus, three retrograde planets in 5th/9dVJFhhouse, weak Jupiter, weak Saturn, weak 12,h]ord - all these evil Yogas denied him happiness in married life. Dasa sequences of his life also precipitated the evils for him. As per Yogini Dasa he enjoyed siddha dasa between 9-10-1993 to 9-10-2000, Sankata Dasa between 9-10-200 to 9-10-2008. so the Venus dasa and Rahu dasa as per Yogini cuthis apple cart. In any _ _ 15

horoscope if Moon (signifying mind) and also Venus (signifying sex) are afflicted by Saturn and / or Mars, it will be concluded that the marital life of the native would be anything but smooth and harmonious. Discontent, disenchantment and frustration would dog the native throughout life. Variation could only be in degree depending upon the kind of other strength. The number of times a native marries is determined by the strength of the 7th lord and the malefic influence of powerful planet on the 7th lord, the native marries as many wives as the number of plants connected with the 7th lord. As per Vimsottori dasa system, he enjoyed Jupiter's dasa between 6-5-1989 to 6-5-2005. retrograde 3rd/ 12th lord dasa for Capricorn natives is always bad. He will enjoy Neechvanga Saturn's dasa for 19 yrs. Beyond May 2005. In 2006, he will find his better half, ultimately who will produce children for him. Jupiter will transit Scorpio and will aspect his 7th house and Venus, favouring his 3rd and final marriage. The author has deftly handled the beautiful and mysterious 3rJ house in part - 2 of this book. It has been sub-divided into IX sections. Both these houses are like a coin having two sides both benefic and malefic. Music and criminal mind is judged from the 3rd house. We know those who do not like music can be a murderer. So a benefic 3rd house produces, musicians, a malefic 3rJ house provide criminal tendencies. A malefic in 3^ provides valour, whereas a benefic in 3^ makes the person miser and timid. For a good luck in the competitive exams are should have both malefic and benefic planets in the 3rd house. A malefic in 3rd helps the native to have necessary guts to face the challenges in life. A good 3rd house produces class one writers. 9^ house stands opposite to 3rd house. 9^ house is the house of super intelligences, whereas weak 3rd house flourishes criminal tendencies in a man. Our all motivations, desire to do laborious work, hard work etc. are controlled from this 3rd house. Without desire nothing could be achieved. Remote control of marriage is buried in the 3ri* house for males, whereas remote control of marriage is buried in the 8^ house in the case of females. A malefic 3rd house (12th from 4*) does

not provide a good house to the native. He changes his dwelling place too often. It also provides stiff resistances in higher education. 3ri house represents the thirst for life, that is the other aspects ofprowess and courage. The 2nd house provides the basic impulse of death and so does the 8th house. A fortified and strong 3rJ house imparting powerful current of thirst for life will very much reduce the impulse of ill health and death. So any weakness of the 3rd.house couples with weakness of the ascendant and the 8th house and their lords does not augur well for the longevity of the native. Death is a very cruel sting in a native's fate. Nobody can overcome death. Some die young and some die old. "Death is here, death is there, Death is busy everywhere" by Shelly (1820). The greatest responsibility of an astrologer is the proper forecastings of death. Here again the author has accurately depicted the moment of death. He has cited invaluable examples of untimely death - why and when this unnatural death occurs. Unnatural death is like a cruel reaper who with his keen sickle reaps the bearded grain at a breadth, even the flowers that grow between them. Adversity cause some man to break others to break records. Students and athletes should be kept under stress so that they can break records. These types of many unknown theories and their practical applications have been recorded in this book for the benefit of students, savants and for senior astrologers. Astrology really offers an insight into the meaning and purpose of life and its predictable pattern of events and destiny. This book is very brilliant, very stimulating. It is a sumptuous meal that will whet the appetites of many and help some hard working astrologers with a gift of synthesis to become a brilliant predictor. The author welcomes with stretched hands any suggestion for improvement. The author expresses his deep gratitude to Mr. Daya Shanker, IRS; Mrs. Rajeswari Shanker, Editor and owner of The Times of Astrology, for taking great pains and keen interest in bringing out this Book. So the mysteries revealed through this book should be converted to mansions in advanced predictive astrology by the future astrologers i.e. the author expects many more tools for predictions from the young Astrologers of India. Suggestions for improvements are welcome.
