Krishnamurti Paddhati

Krishnamurti Paddhati(KP) is the advanced version of Vedic astrology having more accuracy and less rules. There are following major differences as known: Distribution of Cusps is done as per Placidus System in KP and Vedic follows Sripat Paddhati. 2. Start of the Cusp is taken as Start point in KP and it is taken as Mid point in Vedic. 3. Aspects are taken degree wise and they are applicable as per orb of individual planet in KP. Vedic astrology follows cusp to cusp Aspects. 4. Duration of Year of 365.25 days but vedic take it as 360 for easy calculations. 5. Less rules but vedic have lots of rules and books to get accurate prediction. 6. Logical and vedic has lost the accuracy of predictions because of missed data. 7. Ayanansha plays a major role in accuracy KP has its own and single ayanansha but vedic has lots of ayanansha provided by so many astrologers. Each Ayanansha gives the different values to Planets and Cusps. 8. Understandability One can learn KP in very few months but one can not learn full vedic astrology in his life. 9. Accuracy Vedic can not pin point the time of frutification but KP can tell the exact time of frutification of the event. th 10. House of Father KP treat 9 Cusp as the House of Father and 10th Cusp for social status/carrier but Vedic take 10th Cusp for Father/social status/carrier. 11. Basics KP follows the rules given by sage Parashar for Vimshottari Dasha/Moon. KP has divided each planet and cusp Sign (Dasha) into Bhukti, Bhukti into Antar and Antar into Pratyantar in the same ratio as done by sage Parashar in Vimshottari Dasha. It gives the more accuracy but vedic does not follows so. 12. Navamansha Vedic follows Navamansha of Moon Sign only but KP follows navamansha of Nakshatra of each Planet and Cusp. 13. Fortuna KP introduced a new fast moving point which can differentiate between two early births as twins, it is known as Fortuna. 14. Mercury Combustion KP says that Mercury never Combust( ) from Sun. 15. Every movement of time is ruled by certain planets, these planets are 1.

known as Ruling Planets(

). There are minimum five Ruling

Planets as 1)Lord of rising sign in Zodiac 2)Lord of rising constellation

in Zodiac 3)Lord of Moon sign 4)Lord of Moon constellation and 5)Day Lord. 16. Everybody on that specific movement is influenced with these RPs. These planets are very powerful. We can find out the answer of any query rises at that movement in YES or NO and if the answer is YES than we can also find time of frutification of that query. There are certain rules given by KP by which we can find out the Ruling Planets. The Moon tells about the query, it should be related with query for correctness. The frutification depends on the type of sign and planet both. The Lagna says about the frutification of query. If it is in a movable sign than the frutification is soon or if the Sub Lord of Lagna is a fast moving planet like than it is also soon. We can calculate Ruling Planets from Nakshatra in a click and can also know the time of frutification of query.Click on the picture below to know how Nakshatra shows the Ruling Planets. 17. The major difference between KP and traditional astrology lies in METHOD of arriving at a prediction. The traditional system of astrology makes use of various charts and tables other than the birth (natal) or horary charts. The KP technique on the other hand uses only a few tools that remain constant in every situation. The basis of the KP technique lies in two fundamental tools: the Placidus House Division and the Sub-division of the constellation. 18. In KP, the only system of house division followed is the Placidus (also called as the Semi-Arc) System of house division. In this system of house division, the birth or the horary chart is casted according to the precise latitude and longitude of the native or the place where the astrologer is sitting for analysis (if it is a horary chart). In the Placidus system of house division, all the 12 houses may not be of equal length (longitude). It may so happen that some houses may be more than 30' in length whereas some houses are less than 30' in length. Moreover, it may also happen that there are two houses or bhavas in one zodiac sign and a sign which does not hold any house cusp. 19. KP astrology interprets bhava or house results primarily on the basis of the house cuspal sublords and the sublord's stellar or constellational significations. And the planetary effects are determined by the planets occupancy in a particular star and a sub division within that star. These are explained in great detail in the subsequent chapters. Here we are only providing the fundamental differences in the modus operandi of arriving at a prediction through KP astrology vis-'-vis traditional astrology. So, according to KP, even though the cuspal sub position is a very specific area demarcated by each of the 12 houses in the zodiac, these sub areas are under the lordship of 9 planets. Therefore, to arrive at a concrete prediction, the signification of a house (through the cuspal sublord) is taken into consideration through the 9 planets' house signification. 20. Shri K. S. Krishnamurti also provided in his KP astrology a new tool called as the Ruling Planets (RP). These RP act as a divine guidance when the astrologer needs some clarification or confirmation on certain issues that may be impeding him to arrive at a final judgment. These ruling planets are a master key in the technique of KP and one has to become an adept at using these if one wishes to master this system of astrology. The use of RP in applied prediction is multifarious and infinite. The credit of the concept and its utility is solely attributable to the inventor of this system of astrology'Sri K. S. Krishnamurti. 21. Along with RP, Sri K.S. Krishnamurti also provided us with a set of sub numbers from 1 to 249. This set of 1-249 sub numbers has proved to be a very effective tool for analysis of horary or Prashna charts where certain specific queries are to be answered or where the birth time of the native is not known. To satisfy the curiosity of the readers at this point let us briefly say what this 1-249 sub numbers is. These sub numbers are basically the sub-divisions (and therefore, called as 'subs') of each of the 27 star of the zodiac in the proportion of the Vimsottari Dasa system. Traditional astrology however, has no such divisions of the stars of the zodiac.
