Indian Astrology and its dasa by Astrologer Hemant Sharma Ji

Solar revolutions know as varsha phala is used by both the Indian as well as Western Astrologer . In this system the chart cast for the time of birth longitude of the Sun every year forms the solar chart and sahams and dasas are calculated. Here the predictions are made for one year in consonance with the birth chart. rnThe method known as planetary periods is used in Indian system of Astrology . Maharisi Parasara has mentioned 42 kinds of Dasas; but the great Maharisi considers Vimsottari dasa Paddhati to be the supreme one for delineating the time of events. Vimsottari dasa is of 120 year of comprising of 6 years of the Sun, 10 years of the Moon, 7 year of Mars, 18 years of Rahu, 16 years of Jupiter, 19 year of Saturn, 17 years of Mercury, 7 years of Ketu and 20 Venus, thus totaling 120 years. The ruler of dasa at birth is the lord of naksatras occupied by the Moon at birth.rnTransits are the currents passage of planets over the and houses of the birth chart. In Western system the transits are taken from the ascendant or lagan while in Indian system they are taken from the Moon. Transits are for précising the time of an event. rnOut of all the methods of directing mentioned above first two are purely Western methods and out of them the method of primary directions is very rarely used for astro reading even by the Western astrologers due to its cumbersome calculation. The method of secondary directions is widely used now a day. The only thing that goes against the dasa Paddhati is that there are many dasa systems and different rulers rule in different dasa systems at the same time for a native. But Maharisi Parasara has eradicated this fallacy by saying.rnVimsottari dasa of 120 years has been mentioned earlier. Oh! The nice of Brahmins! The dasa to be used in kaliyuga is Vimsottari.rnDasa means living standards in particular physical and environmental conditions at a particular time. The physical and environmental conditions may be good or bad according to the dasa at that particular time. There should be no doubt that the configuration of planets in a birth chart at the time of birth is according to the deeds done in the previous births and result will be experienced in this rnbirth in different dasas accordingly.
